Chapter 25
Rescue!!
-to Luna's story-
When Luna reaches the Training field, Spyro and Cynder are training with Icelyn and Flare. Spyro launches a bolt of electricity at Flare, but Flare unleashes a huge flame from his mouth to negate the lightning. The result is a small explosion. Cynder unleashes a whirlwind at Icelyn, but Icelyn creates a giant ice Wall from the ground and blocks the whirlwind, negating it. Cynder lands and the ice wall retracts back into the ground. Luna lands outside the training field and walks up to them. Spyro is first to greet her. "Hey Luna!! What brings you out here?" Asked Spyro. "I just came to tell you we strengthened the portals around us. We got 2-3 weeks before the Dark Master can break through it." Explained Luna.
"Have Draco and Aaron returned yet? How is the Dragon that Daire brought back?" Asked Cynder curiously. No, they haven't returned yet! As for the Dragon, she is Dead. Daire told me that Aaron and Draco went to the Twil mountains to retrieve a shard to revive her." Explained Luna. Just after she said that, a flock of Wyverns came through the portal a ½ mile away. They were being chased by what looked like 10 Dragon skeletons. " What is goin on?" cried Spyro. "Well, first let's help the Wyverns." Said Luna, transforming into her twilight form and flying towards the wyverns. Flare's body enveloped in flames, Spyro chased after Luna and Cynder followed Spyro. Icelyn followed close behind Cynder.
One of the Skeletons was on top of the nearest wyvern. It squawked and tried to fly faster, but couldn't. Just when the Dragon was about to slash at the wyverns wing, Luna tackled it to the ground. She yelled to the wyverns: "Get to the temple! Go!!". The wyverns responded with sad blues and flew towards the temple. Just when she thought it was pinned, the Skeleton's bones became very hard. A spike emerged and just about impaled her. She leapt out of the way and the skeleton stood up, emerging it's wings. "Be careful! These Skeletons aren't normal skeletons. They are twilight Dragons. They are much harder to destroy." Cried Luna, creating her crystal armor. "Gotcha!!" everyone cried at once.
Cynder managed to tackle one to the ground, but it flung her 30 ft, making her hit a boulder. She slowly got up and transformed into her giant form. The skeleton created a crystal scythe and rushed her. She ran at it too. Spyro created fire on his front claws and slammed a skeleton to the ground with his claws. Flare Created his fire blades and slashed the air with the blades and created a star with the fire. He slammed his palm into the middle of the star and the star flew at the skeleton and binded him, making him fall to the ground. The skeleton easily broke the bind and got up just as Flare landed. The skeleton created 2 blades and rushed Flare. They both clashed in a flurry of blades. Icelyn created an ice blade and shield and slashed at the nearest skeleton. The Skeleton blocked it and they both landed.
Icelyn looked closely and saw a tiny glint of dark energy rotating in the dragon's stomach area."Tough guy huh? Take this!!" Said Icelyn, throwing her shield like a boomerang at the Dragon. But instead of slicing anything, the shield shattered. Icelyn took the chance and slammed the blade into the hollow stomach of the Dragon. The dragon screamed and the bones fell to the ground in a heap. "Guys!! Look for their weak spot!! It looks like a tiny glint of dark energy rotating." Cried Icelyn, rushing to fight another Skeleton Dragon. "Got it!!" said Everyone at once.
Flare found the weak spot on his enemy: it was also in the stomach. "it's time for you to go down." Cried Flare. Flare increased the flames intensity around his body and increased the temperature to a whopping 3500 degrees. "Fire Inferno!!" Cried Flare. The flames leapt off Flare's Body in a stream of fire and hit the Dragon like a ton of bricks. The Dragon screamed and then the bones fell into a heap, slightly singed. Flare fell to the ground, exhausted.
Cynder and the Dragon she was fighting both landed. She found the weak spot. It was in the Back. "Give up hope, Black dragon!! The end is near!!" the Dragon laughed. "Never!! The Dark Master will take over the world when he kills us. Which will be never." Cried Cynder, Opening her maw and unleashing a flame at the Skeleton. "Hah, is that all you go.." The Dragon skeleton cried out in agony. He looked down at his stomach to see 5 claws protruding from his so-called body. "How?"gasped the Dragon skeleton. "Tell your master he will die!!" Said Cynder, slashing at the weak spot and the bones falling into another pile. She went to help Daire.
Spyro shot ice shards at his Dragon, but he dodged all of them and shot crystals at Spyro. Spyro dodged them and landed on the ground. The skeleton landed as well and walked toward him. Spyro managed to see a faint energy swirling in the Dragon's chest. "Give it up, Purple whelpling!! You can't win. Not against my crystals." Laughed the Dragon maniacally. Spyro roared at the Dragon and then the skeleton tried to take another step, but Couldn't. "What happened?" queried the Skeleton, unable to move his legs. He glanced at Spyro, whose veins were throbbing on his muscles and had an angry look on his face. "Nobody calls me a purple whelpling!! Nobody!!" Cried Spyro, all of the elements surrounding him. The Dragon threw a rain of crystals at Spyro, but he flicked his tail and shattered the crystals with an earth flail.
Then Spyro held out his palm as all of the elements combined in his hand. " you will die now!!" Cried Spyro, releasing a ball of energy the size of a boulder at the skeleton. The energy slowly formed into an arrow with an ice tip and slammed into the Skeleton's invisible chest and the dragon screamed and fell into a pile of bones. Spyro returned to normal. The others finished off the other Skeletons. Luna cursed and said: "The Dark master will pay for this!! How dare he defile the grave of Twilight Dragons!! He Will PAY!!" cried Luna, a tear falling from her cheek. The Wyverns walk up to her and nudges her shoulder with it's beak. She jumps slightly and turns around to see a wyvern staring at her.
