CHAPTER 25- FIGHTING IN THE CLOUDS: PART 2 & 3
Spyro found himself back in the arena, to the roaring of the rambunctious crowd crying out for more violence.
"Are you ready for more?" Scratch announced to the crowd.
"Without further ado, here he is, the purple prince of perpetual pain, Spyro the dragon!" the crowd cheered wildly for him as he expected, due to the last fight he put on.
"And his opponent, needing little introduction. The Epitome of all encompassing punishment, the Executioner!" (A/N: I know the floaty ship thing was next, but I have a reason for excluding it. trust me!)
The Executioner was shown to be a gladiator clad in yellow armor and red tunic, and holding a crimson-tinted sword in one hand and a shield matching its
armor in the other. It pointed its sword towards Spyro and laughed at him mockingly.
He growled at his enemy as it smashed its sword down at him. He dodged the blow and stood on his hind legs. As the executioner struggled to free his sword, Spyro stepped up onto the broad blade Shot a powerful earth blast at the attackers hidden face, sending himself and his sword stumbling back, to the elation of the crowd.
Spyro waited for his attacker to get back up. Slowly, the creature got to its feet and roared angrily at him. Spyro flared his body and wings in an attack position and released another icicle attack, mercilessly attacking the Executioners armor.
He quickly grew tired of this fight, and the showman inside him decided to give the crowd something to talk about after the fight.
Spyro reared up on his back legs and released his fire fury attack. The inferno was ten times what he remembered it to be as explosions and columns of fire encircled the Executioner, and then enveloped him, burning him away only to leave a pile of charred armor behind.
Even as the first few rows were singed in the attack, they still wildly applauded Spyro's aggression.
He smiled broadly at his 'fans' as he was grabbed by the guards and escorted back into his cell once more.
Spyro looked up to see Mole-yair hurrying towards him.
"Spyro! You are in danger! I have a message from another prisoner. Here, take it." He said giving him the letter.
He then read it to himself;
Dear Friend,
there are whispers going about the ship...Word of your captivity has traveled quickly. Many of the prisoners are uneasy. They say the Ape King himself has placed a bounty on you...and all dragons. These are dark times. But know this, you have allies. I look forward to the day when we can meet.
Hunter of Avalar
"Good fight Spyro." Silro congratulated.
"Thanks. They're getting too easy. My last fight was a joke!" he laughed laying down in the corner.
"I fight you next, you know." Silro added.
Spyro opened one eye and looked at him.
"I don't want to go up against you. I've killed all of my opponents." he said concerned
"Don't worry about me kid, I'll be just fine. I'm going to throw the fight." Silro said.
"What? Isnt that like cheating?" Spyro asked, not wanting to dishonor himself or his race by fixing a fight.
"Not exactly, besides, I would be crucified if I accidentally killed the prophecy dragon. I'll put on a show for the crowd, but I don't want to be in this cell when...they come."
"They? Who is the-" Before he could finish, a minion burst in and grabbed both Silro and Spyro, escorting them once again to the arena.
"Its showtime." Silro said before he was herded to the opposite side of the arena.
"Guests of Skabb, Welcome! We have a special fight in store for you tonight! Two dragons enter, one dragon leaves! It has been said that this purple dragon is of great importance. If this is so, then let him defend himself against our reigning champion, Silro!" The crowd was elated as Spyro and Silro saw each other on opposite sides of the Colosseum.
"Ready? Fight!"
The dragons paced around each other, growling and barring their teeth for show of the crowd.
Spyro acted quickly and shot a fast moving fireball at him, which was met with one from him, both of them exploding against each other. The cloud of smoke it created allowed Spyro to move quickly away from his previous position and launch a staunch ice attack.
To Spyro's surprise, his sharpened ice bounced of Silros mirror like chest.
"Ok...this should be interesting..."

"Dragons! Let nothing stand in our path! To the evil mountain!" Terrador cried as they took to the air, rocketing skyward.
Their destination would be a dangerous one, and would seal the fate of the enitre realm.
"May the ancestors watch over them..." Ember said watching them as they disappeared.

Silro jumped from the smoke and shot an ice ball into Spyro's stomach, knocking him back into the wall. He shook it off as he waited.
"That wasnt to hard was it?" He asked with a half concern, half mocking tone.
"Of course not, remember who you're talking to!" Spyro said as he released his earth wind and sucked Silro up into the air.
He used his powerful wings to break the tornado and settle back down on the ground. He looked around, but Spyro was gone.
As he looked he felt a strong kick to the back of the head, sending him stumbling a few paces.
"Wasnt to hard was it?" He said smirking
"So its like that huh?" He said rubbing the back of his head with his tail smiling back.
"How about a big finish?" Silro asked charging an electric attack.
"Sure. One lighting shooting firestorm coming right up." Spyro said charging a fire attack.
The crowd waited on the edge of their seats as the two dragons power grew.
At the same time, they released their volleys, meeting in the center of the arena and making a violent storm of fire and lightning, even killing some of the audience members. Skabb was hiding behind his throne as the storm raged on before dying out.
Spyro looked at Silro, they both were exhausted. He winked at Spyro before collapsing on the ground.
The audience was in shock for a few seconds, before coming loudly to life.
"Ladies and gentlemen we have just witnessed the biggest upset in this ships history! Silro has fallen at the feet of Spyro the dragon!" Scratch announced in amazement.
"Well this is quite unexpected, and as it was such a short fight, we have a special bonus fight in store for you all!"
Again, the crowd roared with approval.
"A bonus fight?" Spyro asked questioningly as the guards drug Silro's body from the arena.
Ok, I know that was probably the shortest chap ever, but I have a cross country flight tomorrow and I'll be out for 2 days. anyways, SnF if I didnt get Silro's powers right, my bad. anyways Cynder vs Spyro next chap! ok see ya!
