This is the end for Nyra!

Chapter 14: Defeating Nyra

Nyra keeps on fighting Travis and lets out a fit or fury and rage around her, which made Travis more frightened as ever. She keeps grunting in fierce effort and when she caught him, she grabbed her by the talons and said, "See what youi've done? You will pay dearly for that!"

"Let me go, please." Travis said.

"Never! You have made your last day here!"

"Consider it my highest honor."

Nyra became outraged and managed to drag Travis to the side of St. Aggie's and there's a deep fall under there. She smiled deviously and said, "Oh, how you've failed us. Now, this is the result of it."

"Let him go!"

Nyra turns around and sees both Soren and Kludd flying in to save Travis. Nyra suddenly drops Travis as he falls down and then...he gets saved...by Kludd. He looks at Kludd and pleads him to let him go. Then, Kludd told him, "It's okay. I won't hurt you anymore."

"Is this a trick?"

Travis looked into Kludd's eyes and Kludd told him, "Travis...I am sorry."

The look on his eyes made him realize that he is sincere and completely accepts his apology. Nyra smacks Kludd from behind as he fell down to the ground and got scraped up.

"Kludd!" Travis exclaims.

Kludd groans in pain as he tries to get up, but Nyra laughs at him and said, "All those years, I have taught you everything and always thought you'd be one of the 'Pure Ones' and now...now you can't even follow a single order I have commanded you to do so. And you couldn't kill your own brother."

"Listen, I know my brother is a daydreamer, but...he's still my brother, no matter what." Kludd said.

Soren was blown away when he heard what Kludd said. Kludd then looked at Soren and knows that they're suddenly repairing their broken brotherhood.

"And you'll always be my brother." Soren said.

"Rubbish! I'll kill you first!" Nyra shouted, directly at Soren.

Nyra runs towards Soren, but Travis kicks her down and throws her in the wall. He looked at Soren and said, "Are you okay?"

"I am now." Soren answered.

Nyra pops out and attacks all three of them, but Kludd and Soren fought her down-talon by talon by talon and Travis joins in as well. Travis punches her in the face and Nyra kicks him back. Kludd flies in and pushes her down and Soren slams her down with his wings. Both Travis and Soren come in together and fought her together. Both of them fought her and punched her everywhere and Travis throws her down and Kludd catches her and throws her off the cliff.

Travis then sees the burning branch and plans to stab Nyra with it. He flies down and grabs it with his talons. He picks it up and flies back up and comes back with the burning branch.

Kludd and Soren look up and sees Travis holding a piece of the branch and KLudd asked, "Is that a burning branch?"

"Yeah, it is."

Nyra looks up and laughed at him. She also asked, "And just what do you think you're gonna do with that thing?"

Travis laughs mockingly and said, "Do the same thing that Soren did to Metalbeak."

Nyra frowns and grows angry and said, "You'll do nothing of the sort!"

"Oh, no? Well, this is what you deserve after years of torture, abuse and cruelty."

He then flies towards her and tries to stick her in the stomach, but he misses by a mile as Nyra grabs the branch and Travis just falls down on the ground. She laughed maniacally and said, "You aren't that smart enough to stop me!"

"I am." Kludd said.

He grabs the stick from her and plans to aim it at her. Nyra then backs up and asked, "Kludd, do you even know what you're doing?"

"Yes, I do. I don't want to hurt my brother anymore that I already have been." Kludd answered.

He then sticks the burning branch in Nyra's back as Nyra screams in pain. As he pulled the stick out of her back, she then falls down off the cliff to her certain death. Kludd, Soren and Travis looked down and saw her fall down and Travis said, "She's gone."

"For good." Soren said.

"Good riddance." Kludd said.

He then drops the burning branch and sighs heavily. He then looks at Travis and said, "I am sorry, Travis...for everything."

"Yeah, me too."

He then looks at Soren and said, "Soren...I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me."

"Kludd...I'll always forgive you...because we're brothers. I mean, we do fight most of the time..."

"...and they're still brothers." Kludd answered.

They both reach in and embrace themselves for a hug. Travis smiled softly and sees that the whole thing was over. Soon, Marella, Noctus and Eglantine went over and sees a beautiful sight-Soren and Kludd being brothers again.

Kludd then looks at his parents and Eglantine and tells them, "I just...wanted to say that I am sorry for everything I put you all through."

"All is forgiven, son." Noctus said.

"We're just glad to have the Old Kludd back." Marella said.

He then looks at Eglantine and said, "I'm sorry for moon-blinking you. Can you ever forgive me, Eg?"

Eglantine looked into Kludd's eyes and said, "Yes, Kludd. I forgive you."

Kludd laughs softly as he gives Eglantine a hug. Mrs. P comes in and said, "I see you're back to your old self, Kludd."

"I guess so."

Soon, Twilight, Digger and Gylfie come in and sees that Soren and Travis are okay. Gylfie was worried about Soren the most as she flies towards him and said, "Soren, are you all right?"

"Yes, Gylfie. I'm okay." Soren said.

"I've been so worried about you! I thought you were gone!"

"He's fine."

She looked behind and saw Kludd there and said, "You! You almost killed Soren and how dare you! You'll pay for what you've done!"

"Gylfie! It's okay. He's back to normal now." Soren said.

"Yeah, he's not evil anymore. Plus, he killed Nyra. Well, I wanted to kill Nyra, but he killed her so..." Travis said.

"You...killed Nyra?" asked Gylfie.

"Yeah, I did. I couldn't possibly kill my own brother. What would I do without him?"

"I must say you've made a change of mind." Digger said.

"Actually, more like a change of heart." Noctus said.

"That too."

"This calls for a song!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Not the lute, please!"

"So, anyone wanna head back to Ga'hoole?" asked Travis.

"Yes."

"Kludd, you're coming with us."

"After everything I put you all through?" asked Kludd.

"Hey, I knew you wouldn't hurt your own brother and you're still family." Soren said.

Kludd smiled at Soren and said, "Why not?"

They all flew out of St. Aggie's and headed back to Ga'hoole, where peace and harmony come forward. Kludd took one last look at it and said, "Goodbye, St. Aegolius...and good riddance."
