Chapter 21:

"This Can't Be Happening"

Kara started to get really emotional. She was about to jump off the cliff again. John stopped her. He held her until she calmed down. They saw another pit across the way and rested. They sat there for a while. Kara fell asleep quickly.

While John was looking over Kara, Spyro and Sparx were just talking. Kara was right. This was getting way too out of hand. John looked out to the cliff and walked to it. Kara soon woke up and saw John on the cliff edge. She quickly got up and ran to him. She turned him around and saw confusion in his eyes.

"What's wrong, John?"

"Kara, I know you're upset about everyone you know and love dying. But what if it was our fate? What if that's what supose to die like this? Haven't you thought of that?"

"No, I guess I haven't. I guess that I was just being a little selfish. But I know you're upset too by all of this as much as I am, aren't you, John?"

"Yes I have. So...I understand. Hey?"

"Yes?"

"Did you mean what you said to me earlier?" Kara looked at him blank. "When you said that you loved me. Did you mean that?" Kara remained quiet for a few seconds. John looked like he wanted an answer right then and there. He tried to look Kara in her eyes. She continued to look away. "Damnit, Jasmine Kara Casablancas! Do you love me or-" John was cut off my a pair of soft lips. They were Kara's. They soon unlocked.

"Did that answer your question, John?" John nodded with agreement. "Of course I meant what I said. I didn't think Ignitus would save me, so I wanted to tell you before I died. But yes...I meant it when I said that I loved you. I've always loved you." Kara and John kissed again. This time, it was alot more passionate.

Sparx and Spyro were watching this and both made gagging sounds. That was when they heard a blast from another angle of the mountian. John looked up at the smoke. He saw a short little stubby thing on top of the mountian. The others looked up and didn't like where this was going. They saw him with a purple cloak on. Spyro looked up at him and spoke. "Ripto."

"Are you being serious? That's little shrip is Ripto?"

"Yeah John, that's Ripto!" Spyro replied.

"I can take that pipsquike on no problems." John said with confidence. Kara ran in tears. Spyro and Sparx followed her.

John and Ripto got into the mix. Ripto may have been small, but he was still powerful. John started to swing his feet and hit Ripto right across the face. John knew it wasn't the end. Ripto used some magic to cause vains to come out of the ground. The vains wrapped around John and attempted to pull him down.

"Please it's not worth it. Just take me instead. I know who she is. Just let John go!"

"You do it, Kara and I'll never talk to you again! AHHHH!" John was pulled down.

"JOHN!!"

"Come on, Kara. We better get you out of here." 'This isn't happening' Spyro thought to himself.

"You're mine, boy!"

"Bring it on Rypto!" A yellow light came apon John's face. The same light came up on Kara's chocker. John knew after what happened to the others, he would go down fighting. "EARTH LOVE FURY!" The blast blew Ripto backwards and unconcious.

Spyro and Kara, along with Sparx, walked northward. They saw a yellow light and relized the horrible truth. John Marrow, was dead.
