Chapter 25 But I Don't Wanna Fight An Army

The group ran forward toward the beaches, frightened of what was going to happen. They had to defend their home.

"How are we gonna defeat all of those troops? We are heavily outnumbered!",Flame exclaimed in a pant as he ran.

"We have to Flame! If not our home will be destroyed and we will have nowhere to go!", answered Ember with a confident voice.

They ran a little more ways, past the huts in the village and down a trail to the ocean. They didn't stop.

"Guys if we get there fast enough maybe we can sink some of their ships before they make a landing!",Scylla strongly suggested over the pattering of footsteps.

"When we reach the end of this trail fly! Fly over their ships and drop a few fireballs on 'em! That should sink them!",Spyro spat.

They ran as fast as possible to the end which was in sight. When the trail opened up all dragons leaped up and flapped their wings to a beat. Many ships were seen on the ocean so it was wise to make haste with the bombings. They flew over the beach and over the wavy crystal blue waters.

"Spyro! Move!",someone commanded.

Spyro looked up and saw a fireball coming his way. Spyro rolled out the way and fireball missed and headed into space. Spyro looked back to see a green dragon behind him. He guessed it was a villager come to help but didn't ask any questions for he was closing in on the first ship.

"You know the drill!?",Spyro yelled.

"Yea! Bomb the ships!",the dragon responded.

Spyro dove for the first ship with a blue said with a illegible decoration on it. Spyro saw the enemy had bows, a few soldiers nocked arrows back simultaneously, then let them go toward Spyro. The arrows cut through the air toward Spyro. He dropped altitude making the arrows go over him then he let go a few firebombs out of his scorching mouth. The firebombs dropped onto the deck, setting it ablaze. Spyro heard a curse coming from the deck.

"Put it out! Don't let it get to the gunpowder or the whole ship will blow!"

Spyro glided to the sail and lit the sail ablaze with fire. The blue sail began burning as ashes began falling from the burning sail. Spyro quickly looked over another ship to see Flame circling it like a vulture. That ship too was on fire by Flame. Spyro spotted Katrina dropping a few icicles on top of the ship being burned by Flame. An icicle landed on someone's head, sliced down his brain making blood splatter on one of his mates.

Spyro returned his attention to his ship to burn and spotted an unusual character with odd clothing on the top deck. He held his two hands out in front of him, reared them back and began creating a spell. The character threw his hands in front of him unleashing and ice beam toward Spyro. Spyro opened his mouth to a flamethrower and the ice beam had no match. Spyro smirked and shot an earth missile at the spellcaster. He jumped out the way and the missile collided with the deck leaving a massive hole. The spellcaster cursed and unleashed another ice beam at Spyro. Spyro evaded with a quick roll and counterattacked with a fireball. The fireball collided near the spellcaster with an explosion. The explosion reached the spell caster setting him ablaze. After the spellcaster fell Spyro saw his work was done. This ship was going anywhere now.

He made his way to the next closest one he saw and shot more fireballs onto the deck. The fireballs flew through the air and then suddenly exploded when it was only a few yards away from the deck. He spotted another spellcaster holding a rod out in front of him.

"Spyro!"

Spyro quickly glanced over to the voice to see Flame. "Spyro! These guys have spellcasters! They are using shields against our attacks! We can't fight them!"

Spyro looked onto the deck to see some archers quickly lining up, they nocked their arrows and was ready to fire. "Yet evidently they can! Take action Flame!"

Flame looked down when the archer let the arrows loose. Over a dozen arrows headed for them. Flame stopped flapping his wings immediately beginning a short free fall, Spyro quickly followed. The arrows overshot them and they begun beating their wings again to stop their free fall.

"We gotta think of something else! This won't do!",Flame exclaimed.

Another archer readied his arrow and quickly shot it at Spyro. Spyro quickly flew up and snatched the arrow in mid-air. He looked at it, then threw it at the archer. The arrow stabbed the archer in the heart and the archer fell down into the waters below.

"That shield protects them against magic attacks! Let's take out that spellcaster!"

Flame nodded and the two if them dove toward the ship.

Meanwhile

"Scylla!",Ember yelled.

A few arrows made way toward the white dragon attempting to knock her out the sky. She opened up he maw to let loose a blizzard freezing the arrows in midair. The now blue frozen arrows fell into the blue water.

"Good job!",Ember smirked. The green dragon from before flew over the ship and dropped a few fireballs. The fireballs collided onto the sail and onto a few unlucky soldiers. Katrina folded her wings in front of her for a quick second, then unleashed an icicle storm onto the deck. Icicles as sharp as a dragon's claw, rained upon the deck quickly eliminating any soldier they collided with. A sudden fireball erupted from the burning ship headed straight for the green dragon. The green dragon rolled as yet another fireball was shot toward him.

"Spellcaster! Take him out!",Katrina commanded.

The spellcaster shot a bigger fireball before the last ones. The green dragon tried to evade, but it's size was too big. It collided with him knocking him into a loop.

"No!!",Scylla erupted as she dove for the dragon. She caught the dragon just before he hit the waters. Ember launched a fireball at the spellcaster. The spellcaster quickly through up a shield and blocked the attack. Suddenly the shield flickered, then vanished. The spellcaster fell to his knees as Katrina flew down with sharp claws out. The spellcaster gazed at Katrina as her claws sliced him through the neck.

Scylla slapped the green dragon on the face with her one free arm. She managed to get a hold to the dragons underarms and was able to pull him up, "Wake up! Your heavy! Can't hold you much longer!" Scylla flapped her wings at a fast pace.

Life came to the dragon's eyes as he looked up at Katrina with his greenish- blue eyes. "You!"

"Hey you better start flapping before I drop you",Scylla managed.

The dragon realized he was airborne and began flapping his red wings. "Thank you umm."

"Scylla."

"Thanks Scylla. I'm Jarvis."

"No time for chat Jarvis! Let's get back to the battle!"

Jarvis smiled and flew toward the ship he bombed earlier. He dropped a few more fireballs onto the deck and was satisfied that it wasn't going anywhere now.

Meanwhile

Spyro and Flame dove for the deck of the ship. Suddenly archers appeared out of nowhere and quickly nocked their bows.

"Turn back!",Spyro yelled.

Flame and Spyro quickly U-turned and the archers let the arrows loose. The arrows flew toward their targets swiftly. Spyro and Flame looked back to see the arrows making their way. One by one the arrows hissed passed them. The arrows were so close that Flame could hear the air it was cutting through.

"Agh!",Spyro grunted. Flame quickly glanced at Spyro and saw an arrow impaled the membrane on his left wing.

"Be still!",Flame warned.

"What! What are you! AHG!" Flame snapped the arrow in half and took the halves out and through them away. "Wasn't so bad now was it?", Flame smirked.

Spyro didn't say anything but he stared at the hole in his wing speechless.

"We should get back to battle before they make a landing!"

Spyro nodded and returned attention the ships still afloat on the crystal wavy waters. Spyro and Flame dove for the ship they attempted to attack earlier and the spellcaster threw up a shield protecting the whole ship from any attack.

"Curses! Now what?",Flame slowed down in midflight to a stop.

"Only thing we can do! Fly through the shield and take out the spellcaster."

"No Spyro there are too many troop on the deck! We'll get slaughtered if we do that!"

Spyro looked at the shield and the archers under it began taking positions.

"We better back off out of their range. Wait a second, something is happening to the shield!", Flame pointed. Spyro looked at the shield was flickering.

"Ha! You like that you spellcaster scum!",Sparx yelled. He was flying around in circles around the spellcaster and attempted to punch him in the face.

"Sparx? We better attack!",Spyro commanded.

Flame and Spyro launched a few blazing fireballs toward the deck. The shield continued to flicker as the fireballs made way to the spellcaster.

"FIRE!!"

The archers let the arrows fly toward the dragons. Sparx looked up and saw 4 fireballs making their way toward him. Sparx punched the spellcaster one last time then flew away out of the way.

"Annoying bug!" The spellcaster looked up as the fireballs went through the flickering shield and collided with him. The spellcaster screamed and ran ablaze on the deck. The shield immediately went down along with the spellcaster. Spyro smiled as the shield fell but he saw something else fall.

"Arrows!"

Spyro and Flame turned around and flew back to a safe distance. The arrows fell behind the dragons into the blue water below. After they fell Spyro and Flame dove back toward the ship. Flame took the left side and Spyro took the right. The men on the deck scrambled for cover as Spyro and Flame unleashed fire upon the ship. Some unlucky soldiers caught out in the open were set ablaze by the fire along with anything else that was flammable. Including the gun powder.

"Put that fire out! NOW!!"

Spyro and Flame flew to a safe distance then turned their attention to the burning ship. The soldiers scrambled with buckets of water trying to put the fires out. However they didn't notice the gunpowder was slowly burning and the fire was going to the source of the gun powder in a bunch of barrels in one pile.

"This might get ugly Spyro we better back off some more."

"Hey guys!",Sparx approached the dragons afloat.

"Sparx! Good to see you here!",Spyro said relieved.

"Why? What's gonna happen?"

"See for yourself",Flame answered.

The three watched the ship as the fire made it's way to the barrels when it reached the barrels the fire was no longer visible.

"So, what is supposed to happen?",Sparx asked.

"ABANDON SHIP!!!!",a soldier from the ship yelled as he jumped overboard into the water. A few more followed.

"What the?",Sparx began but a fiery explosion erupted from the ship. The explosion engulfed the ship as Sparx threw his hands in front of his face. "Holy!", Sparx began.

A few lifeless soldiers were thrown from the explosion into the water and the ship was completely destroyed. Ship pieces still fell from the explosion and pieces were afloat in the water. The ship mast was in half on the water and whatever was left of the sail floated back down into the water on fire.

"Think that ship is going anywhere?",Flame sarcastically asked.

"Your kidding right?",Sparx replied.

Spyro laughed and gazed upon the remaining ships. There were still a lot of them left.

"We're gonna need more help with this one."

Spyro looked back at the village. He spotted something flying in the air. No a whole bunch of things. He looked in the distance and realized what it was.

"Guys, I'll be right back."

Flame and Sparx watched Spyro fly toward the village. They to saw what Spyro saw.

"Is that what I think it is?",Sparx asked eyes squinted with a hand over his eyes to keep the sun off them.

"Yes, I believe it is."

Meanwhile a bit earlier

Scylla put a wing a wing over her face as an unexpected explosion erupted from a nearby ship. When it was over she turned to Ember.

"What was that!?"

"One of the ships just exploded! Does anyone see Spyro and Flame?"

Jarvis looked over, "Yea I see them, Sparx is there too. They're alright."

"That's a relief, let's take this ship down",Katrina quipped.

They returned to the ship they attacked earlier. It was ablaze but troops aboard were still a threat. They launched a few unexpected arrows at their foes but was too slow. The dragons easily dodged them as they closed in on their target. The dragons unleashed their fury upon the ship. The fire on the ship spread after the attack. A few more soldiers laid dead with either burn wounds or bloody icicles in their bodies. The dragons flew away from the ship to a safe distance in case of an explosion like that last one.

"Well that one is also taken care of. A few down and a lot to left to sink",Katrina pointed.

"Hey one of the ships is closing on a landing! We gotta sink it before it's too late!",Jarvis shouted.

The dragons looked toward the land and a ship was almost as far as it could go before being grounded. The troops aboard were scrambling on the deck getting ready to get on the beaches. The dragons dove as fast as they could to the ship. A few soldiers spotted them and warned everyone. Jarvis shot a fireball at some soldiers attempting to drop a lifeboat into the water planning to make their escape. The fireballs exploded against the deck flooring near the soldiers but they didn't stop. They dropped the lifeboat then jumped overboard into the water.

"Bollocks!",Jarvis said in a deep bass.

The soldiers boarded the lifeboat then began rowing toward the land. Then some dragons appeared on the beaches. The soldiers pointed and the dragons flew toward the lifeboat at full speed. The soldiers readied their swords and pulled them out of their sheathes.

When the dragons closed in a few blew ice onto the small boat. Nowhere to go the soldiers threw their shields in front of them. The ice turned their black shields to a blue ice. A soldier stood up and through his sword at one of the dragons. The dragon had no time to react for he was so close. The sword stabbed him in the chest and he fell over into the water. A dragon flew toward the lifeboat to the soldier in front. The soldier thrusted his sword toward the dragon to defend himself. The dragon dodged the thrust and clawed the soldier across the neck. The soldiers blood splattered over another soldier. That soldier freaked out and cowarded to the ground. He threw his shield over his head mumbling things to himself. The dragon used the power of wind and blew all the startled soldiers onto the lifeboat flooring and the ones in the back into the water behind them. A few more dragons came to support him and blew fire onto the soldiers. The soldiers ignited into a red blazing fire. Some jumped overboard while others attempted to roll on the flooring. The lifeboat was much too small for that so they burned to death. Some of the ones that jumped overboard didn't floated to the surface, lifeless. A few lucky ones attempted to swim away from the dragons. A dragon readied his claws as he approached the survivors. He reached the first survivor.

"No please have mercy!"

The dragon ignored him as he slashed him across the neck like an assassin killing him in seconds. The other dragons did the same to the other survivors.

"Lifeboat didn't stand a chance against them. Sink the ship!",Katrina yelled. The other dragons complied and flew toward the ship along with Scylla, Ember, Katrina, and Jarvis.

"Sir! We are being overrun!"

"Defend the ship the best you can! That energy will be ours!"

The dragons began the assault on the ship

Meanwhile

Spyro made his way toward his objective. Dragons were making their way toward him. A whole bunch of dragons. The closer Spyro got the more he realized who it was.

"Spyro!",one of the dragons shouted.

"Trondo?!"

The dragons go to Spyro where Trondo stopped in front of Spyro. He levitated in place, flapping his massive wings.

"We've come to help you out Spyro. Tell us what to do. We are yours to command."

Spyro gazed at the dragons he brought with him. All warriors of combat. "We need to sink as many ships as possible before they hit landing."

"Right, you heard Spyro! Let's move!",Trondo commanded.

Spyro turned around and began flying back to the waters with the warm winds against them. Then suddenly he saw something familiar. "Deja vu?", Spyro thought. Spyro was flying in the air and suddenly explosions were being spotted in the sky ahead of him. He figured it was the spellcasters using spells. He looked down to see his fellow dragons flying with him. Then Spyro heard Trondo yell out, "We must prevent them from destroying the village. We need everyone to work together for the enemy is protected by magic!" As Spyro looked back up and everything turned bright. He covered his eyes until the light disappeared. He looked back onto the ocean and something big was spotted coming out of the water. He squinted in the sunlight looking at whatever he was looking at.

"Trondo what the heck is that?!"

"That is, the weapon."
