The Future is Now

AU:If anyone is wondering, here is what Spyro's forms are base off. Base, Legend, Dark are canon. Time, Convex, and Corrupt are from LOS Series. Death and Demon are from Ghost rider in his normal and blue fire forms. His Elemental is based off another fanfic where he was just a vessel for the elements, and Infinite is based off of Ultra Instinct from DBS.

It had been a few weeks since Spyro's visit to Archeron. Spyro was preocupied with mastering his Infinite Form- Sign. He called it this because the version he was able to use was a weaker version of the full power of Infinite form. He had been testing the limits of what his body could manage. Unfortunately, he was not able to test this theory much as it was painful every time he moved down from the state. After a particularly grueling session, Spyro was walking down with Cynder and Omega. He saw Sharpsound and Blinder speaking about what they wanted to do. A rumble sounded and a horde of clouds darkened the sky. The wind picked up. Skylanders were starting to head inside. Lightning started crackling and converged on what appeared to be the center point. A rocket shaped contraption was seemingly formed by the lightning and smashed into the ground. Spyro walked foward and saw two dragons. A purple one who looked very familiar, and a dragoness with two sets of wings, similar to Sharpsound. Spyro aproached with caution. Upon closer inspection, the rocket seemed very bruised, with scorch marks and magical scratches everywhere. Even the glass was littered with holes that made it look like very thin ice. Spyro, using very precise earth movements, turned the rocket right side up. A grunt sounded from inside. It was the dragon. He groaned as he started to shake the dragoness awake. The dragoness awoke. Spyro looked inside. Suddenly, the dragon's eyes widened in not surprise, but fear. "Please don't hurt us Rabi!". Spyro said, "Woah! Hold up. I'm Spyro. Who is this Rabi? And more importantly, who are you?". The dragon's eyes showed overwhelming relief. "Sharpy. We did it. We are finally free!" he said to the dragoness. The dragoness cried out in happiness and they embraced each other. Spyro felt uncomfortable. "Umm. You haven't answered my question.". The two dragons in the capsule came apart. "Well," said the dragon, "For your first question, Rabi is a Chronicler from another Universe. As for your second question, I am your son, Omega, from 25 years in the future.".

A dark and smoky figure crawled across miles of land. He was defying all natural limits of endurance. He should have stopped a long time ago, but his drive for self preserverance was the only thing fuewling his tired and broken body. After a few more hours of this, he finally arrived. He found a book of Spells that had once belonged to him, and was saved for such an occasion. He grabbed it and flipped to the last page. With his rapidly decreasing breath, he cried, "Dah ecno I rewop eht em evig!". The book's magic spewed out, surrounding, the person in dark waves. The waves were sucked into his body, and his frail body was made strong once again. He went away and sealed the book, and set for training, for the first time in his life. If you are wondering who this person was. It was the Darkness.

If anything could have been more of a shock, than Spyro did not know about it. There was a dragon right in front of him saying he was his son, was simply insane. Yet, Spyro did not see any sort of deception in the dragon's eyes. "Okay... So if you are Future Omega, than is she Future Sharpsound?". "Yes." replied Future Omega, "Future Alpha and Blinder are alive too, but you are not.". Spyro was starting to become scared. "Who beat me?". Future Omega replied hesitantly, "Well, you weren't truly defeated. You were taken from your body and killed. Rabi was the one who took your body, and basically everyone else, thinking gods should be superior to everyone else. Archeron is still alive, but he has done nothing. I do not know how to get to him, but If I could, then I could get him to help.". Spyro started to think. "What if we killed Rabi from this time, so that your timeline never happens. Future Omega's eyes widened. "I never considered that! Let's do it!". Spyro called Jiren over and asked where Rabi was. "Rabi is in Universe 16, for me it will take 23 minutes to get there. Everyone needs to be in a 20 foot radius.". Spyro and his team went with Jiren to the 16th Universe. There, was actually where the original Rabi ,who was green and purple, was forming his plan to start killing the Destroyers by killing the Chroniclers. He was about to slip poison into the Destroyer Raigan's cup, when Jiren and his group appeared. Rabi was scared as he thought his plan to be discovered. "Umm...hello? What brings you to my abode?". Jiren and Spyro said in unison, "Your death.". They charged up blasts faster than the eye could see. But, quicker than that, Spyro caught a glimpse of a dragon that looked Identical to him, but with his Mokawk an Invert Color. He dissapeared as the explosion lit up the room. They saw nobody else in the room except for themselves and the team. "That was easy. Is it solved?". Spyro responded, "No, or else Future Omega and Future Sharpsound would not be here.".

Rabi felt a tingling sensation. He felt like he was being thrown foward. He fell flat in front of another dragon who looked like Spyro but with a blue mohawk. "Hello past me." said the dragon. Rabi said, "Hi. Do I know you?". The other dragon smiled. "I am your future self, but you can call me Oryps, or the opposite of Spyro, but most subjects call me Dark, as I represent the dark aspects of mortals and so I have made it my mission to eradicate all living beings. We gods are under apreciated, and it is time we do something about it. Unfortuately my other gods did not agree, so I disposed of them. Despite my efforts, two dragons escaped, the son and daughter of four dragons I had killed. I knew they would go back to when Spyro was still alive, so that they could stop this from happening. Now that Spyro knows of my existance, I will be hard pressed to keep things how they are now.". Rabi responded, "I saw them. And there is a massive problem. Spyro is able to trigger his Infinite Form.". Dark growled at this new problem. "Well, I can infer that since you said that he was only recently able to trigger it, I can assume it is very underdeveloped. They will come, and we will be ready for when they come. I need you to help me. Will you?". Rabi Smiled. "Yes, Oryps.".

The Futures looked at each other. "This is true. And I also notice the lack of a corpse. Not even ashes. If Rabi was truly dead, than it would be a massive release of energy." said Future Omega. Spyro pondered and thought to what he saw just a few moments before. "I saw another dragon come in and take Rabi with him. He looked like me, but with a blue mohawk.". Future Omega growled and responded, "Yes, that would be Future Rabi. After he took your body, that is how he looks. This does not look good. If the two Rabi's join, they will be very strong as they are dieties. We must train. We are mortal. We can die, and if that happens, the timeline will be absolutely destroyed. They will be even more powerful than Archeron, heck, they will be masters of Time!". They conversed for a while, considering all possible outcomes. While this happened, Spyro turned into Time Spyro. His eyes glowed orange. He turned back and Jiren asked, "What did you see?". "I saw 14 million and 5 outcomes for everything we could do." Spyro replied. Nexus asked, "How many do we win?". Spyro held up a single claw. "We need to train ourselves to the best of our abilities. We should focus on training our base, because our forms are mostly multipliers. They may be thousands of times stronger, but it only means anything if our base is strong to begin with. I personally want to see how much Omega has grown.". Spyro teleported them to the Training Arena. He got ready and told Future Omega to come at him with everything he had. Spyro started by turning into his most basic form, His legendary form. Future Omega yelled and a red aura erupted around him. It looked like Omega's Power Form, but his Mohawk split halfway up his head and connected with the top of his two horns. "This is my Power Form 5. In the shadows, this took 3 years to master.". The two dragons hunched up and waited for the bell to ring to start the battle. After a few seconds, the bell rang, and the two dragons launched at each other.

Spyro materialized his sword and Omega drew his axe. The first exchange had the two weapons explode in sparks. Spyro pushed back against it. He quickly Ducked under and punched Future Omega in the chest.(P.S. Im going to put (F) instead of Future). (F) Omega was proppelled back a few feet. He planted his claws in the ground and sent several blue blasts that Spyro knocked away. Cynder was confused as to how Spyro was fighting this long. She asked Spyro telepathically. He responded, "I want to see his power for what it truly is. If I wanted to, I could just freeze time.". Spyro came up close and Omega leaped up to dodge. He landed on the ground and slammed a paw into the ground. Earthen Spikes shot up out of the ground, causing the battefield to become like a small mountain range. Nexus raised his eye at this. "What was the point of that?". He heard a laugh from beside him. "This is one of his best attacks, just wait." said (F) Sharpsound. Spyro sent a wave to try and locate (F) Omega, but was blasted with feedback from ten different posistions. (F) Omega was making the stone smash against itself to make vibrations. All the feed left him in a state of confusion. (F) Omega took this time to strike. He launched out of the fray and landed several hits on Spyro's back. He used the spikes as footholds to quickly change orientation. Spyro regained his bearings and turned to face his adversary. He caught (F) Omega's attack and swung him into one of the flat spikes. (F) Omega growled in pain. He regained his footing and begun spinning his axe. Spyro shot fire at (F)Omega but (F) Omega moved his axe down and the fire was deflected off. Using his magic, he made a temporary shield and shot through the flames until he punched Spyro in the chest. Spyro yelled and, by his instincts, punched (F) Omega in the head with his Infinite Form- Sign, and (F) Omega was knocked unconscious by the impact of Spyro's fist, and was slammed into the ground. He felt no pain. He powered down after losing consciousness. Spyro forgot to power down correctly and screamed in pain as dark lightning lanced his body. Cynder rushed to his aid. Spyro stopped after a minute, while Nexus helped (F) Omega gain conciousness. After a few hours, they had assembled near the time machine to go foward in time. Spyro fixed it up so that it could fit their group. Jiren and Ciron stayed back as they did not want to get involved. Overall, the team consisted of Spyro, Cynder, Nexus, Dark Spyro, The Futures, Ignitus, and Ragnor. Spyro did not want to bring Omega into this as they were not strong enough. While they were strong, they could not stand up to gods.

They shot into the future. They felt themselves being thrown foward. They landed in a desloate wasteland, where a whole bunch of people were huddled. Spyro was able to recognize a few familiar faces. Future Fireburn was notably sad, and his metallic arm was mangled. He saw Future Comet in the corner, cryng over the body of a deceased dragoness, which was Future Ivy. Spyro shed a tear over seeing this. His stomach dropped when he saw what was at the center, it was a tailblade, but it was his. He figured that it was the only thing recovered from his future self. The time machine opened it's doors. Spyro was immediately noticed by the crowd, and they all started yelling that they were saved. Spyro retained his composure and asked (F) Sharpsound what was going on. "We have been fighting, but we have lost several people in the field. Alpha and Blinder dissapeared. We have their vitals on record, so we know they are not dead, but that does not help us find where they are.". Spyro devised a plan. They had to get the remaining people out of there before things got worse. In the course of several hours, they were able to get everyone safely to the past. Spyro could sense magical energy due to his magical element. He closed his eyes and concentrated. He sensed everyone there, so he looked farther. he sensed the magical power of two faint entities. Locking these, he called for everyone to follow him, and they traveled for a few minutes until they found the remenants of the Academy, transformed into a fortress. He levitated the group to a window, where he thought was the room where (F) Alpha and (F) Blinder were. What he saw was Rabi and the Future Rabi planning(who's nickname is Spyro Dark by the way). He held his claw up to his snout, motioning for silence.

"Now, since the resistance still has the sons and daughtors of the original team, that is of little concern, but concern nonetheless. My Zero Mortal Plan cannot be stopped, until only us dieties are either the only ones, or given the respect we deserve. Since the second option is never going to happen, we must eliminate all mortals.". Meanwhile, Nexus noticed something on Ragnor's chest. It seemed to be a small vortex of dark colors. He was confused and asked Ragnor what it was. Ragor turned away and concentrated, and the mark went away. He thought, "Oh no. My time is coming to an end.". You see, shortly after the decemation of the purple dragons by Strykore, Ragnor had been shot in the chest with a spear. In desperation for his survival to train Nexus, he used his Aether power to sustain his life for a prolonged period of time. Over the years, he had slowly began to deteriorate. he started to become less potent in the arts of Convexity. By his calculations, he only had a month to live before he died. Returning to the problem at hand, Spyro motioned for everyone to follow him to a different part of the place. After travelling for a while, they found (F)Alpha and (F) Blinder. They were in a cage, with magic draining crystals. Spyro Carved a hole in the side of the cell, and helped them escape. Spyro and the others fled north towards the time machine. They found it was lacking power for having been used so many times. They decided to wait until it was ready to use. Then, out of nowhere, a purple bolt of energy blasted Nexus into a wall. Spyro instinctively went into his Convex Form. He turned and watched Future and Present Rabi descend out of the sky. Spyro was unnerved at how much Future Rabi looked like him. Future Rabi smiled. "You will not escape, and if there is any confusion, just call me Spyro Dark. ". Dark Spyro said sarcastically, "Wow...what a ripoff". He was blasted back as Spyro Dark and Rabi launched foward.". Nexus and Spyro launched foward to meet them. Spyro took on Rabi. Nexus took on Spyro Dark. He yelled and pounded Dark through a building. Dark growled and created blades of magenta energy. He slashed at Nexus. Nexus tried to dodge but was knocked back by the blades. He got up and called, "Bankai times 100!". He was surrounded in a blue aura. He flew back up and started exchanging blows with Dark. Meanwhile, Spyro was having a rough time with Rabi. His punches seemed to be doing no damage. Rabi laughed, "This is your best? No wonder I was able to beat you so easily.". Spyro yelled, "You have NO IDEAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" as he turned into Infinite Spyro- Sign. His aura exploded outward and caused his scales to glow white. Rabi smiled at something behind him. Spyro felt a large pain in his back. Dark had beaten Nexus and had stabbed Spyro in the back when his guard was lowered.

Spyro started to gasp for breath as he struggled to stay in the air. Dark moved to the front. He smiled and said, "This is too easy. It reminds me of how I killed you in the first place. You were a fool to trust me. I knew you were stronger than me, so I needed to turn the tables. I gave you a ring that would give you more power, and you swapped bodies with me. It was hilarious to see you trying to convince your mate that you were Spyro. I stabbed you and killed you.". Spyro gasped, "What happened to Cynder?". Dark laughed. "After you were done, I simply used your body to kill your mate. I also killed Nexus, and all the Dragon masters. I also destroyed your stupid parent's memorial to make place for mine.". It was too much. Spyro yelled in sorrow and anger. Dark and Rabi were launched back. The pain seemed to go away. "You took my body. You took my life. And then you killed Cynder and Nexus." Spyro said with anger coursing though his voice. "You shouldn't have told me that, because now, you are going, to PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!" he yelled as his aura blasted outward like a nuclear explosion. Rabi looked bahind him and saw Spyro unleashing a flurry of attacks on Dark. Rabi tried to attack but Spyro slammed him into the ground and satered launching Flames and magic at him while shouting, "Here's what I think of you being a God!". Rabi was pounded by the attacks when Dark launched foward and tried to attack again and Spyro turned his attention. "Now I understand why you are as respected as you are!" Dark said as he parried with Spyro. Spyro grabbed him and threw him into a nearby building. Spyro landed. Rabi flew at him but Spyro backpawed him into a fountain. He was about to finish the job when his Infinite -Sign form dissipated and Rabi threw him to the side. Spyro had sustained a serious stabbing and it was now depowering him. Rabi was about to finish him off, when he was knocked back by a large object. It was Ragnor.

Ragnor sent Spyro and Nexus over to the time machine, he yelled for everyone to get them on the time machine and to get out of there. Ragnor concentrated on evrything he had, and he ws enveloped in a flashing purple aura. Ignitus knew what this was. He had seen many dragons use it. It was called, 'The Final Form' where a dragon uses his or her lifeforce to open an unimginable boost in power, but it only lasted a few minutes, and it would cost the Dragon it's life. Ragnor stared down the two dragons. "How cute." said Rabi, "This mortal is using the Final Form? This should be interesting". Ragnor yelled and launched at them, knowing he could not waste a single second. He shot Aether Beams at Rabi and Dark. Rabi and Dark were hit by the and were surprised at their effectiveness. Ragor grabbed the two and slammed them into eachother. They rebounded and hit Ragnor on his sides. Nexus had recovered and was fixing the ship. The ship was ready. He called for Ragnor to come. Ragor mouthed, "Go". He motioned with his paw and the time machine closed it's doors. Nexus tried to use his powers but Ragnor had nullified them to keep that from happening. Nexus tried to stop the ship, but it was not working. He yelled out for Ragnor to come back, but Ragnor did not. He mumbled to himself, "Live long, Nexus". Rabi was trying to stop the time machine. Ragnor stopped the blast with his own. He grabbed the two Rabi's and dived off the Skylands. He was being torn apart by the Rabi's but he didn't care. He called, "FINNAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL, BLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSTTTTT!!!!!!" as his aura acumilated into and explosion that rocked the Skylands. And all the dragons, two unconscious and one dead, fell into the endless abyss. And that was the end of Ragnor.

The time machine appeared above the Academy. Nexus was devastated by his mentor's loss. Spyro was still pretty much out of it, and the rest of the crew were saddened by Ragnor's loss. When they landed, Spyro was healed by the magical Masters, and Spyro recovered, only to hear of Ragnor's sacrifice. After a grave erected for Ragnor, Nexus had taken to nonstop training so he would be ready to face them again. In his eyes, Ragnor would not have wanted him to mourn, but to get revenge on Dark and Rabi. Over the next few days, Spyro worked on cultivating his Infinite- Sign. After training for several weeks, they finally decided to trave back in time. Before they were set to go, Jiren said that Archeron wanted to see him again. "What? I can't be doing this in the middle of this thing with Dark!". "What an idiot." Jiren muttered, "If the Great King calls for you, you don't check your damn calender, you just go.". Spyro groaned, "Ugh, fine, but I hope it's quick.". "Also, before you go, do not mention Spyro Dark or the time machine, is that clear?"asked Jiren. "Huh? Why?" replied Spyro curiously. "If Archeron knows about the time tampering he will be all kinds of angry. And you know what that means right?".Spyro nodded his head in understanding. Ciron took hold of Spyro and teleported them to Archeron's palace. Shade took them into the main hall where Archeron was waiting for him. Spyro shook his hand. Archeron led them to his throne room and said, "I heard about the competition between Universe 9 and Universe 8. I wanted you to know I am allowing it, but I am also thinking of something else. I wanted to tell you this because ypu are my friend. I was thinking about a tournament between all of the universes. Do you think that would be fun?". Spyro wondered. He did want to fight stronger opponents in order to get stronger himself. "Yes. I do think that would be fun.". Archeron smiled. "I wonder when I will arrange it.". Spyro started to walk away, but Archeron spoke, "I wanted to give you something.". A small button appeared in Spyro's hand. "This is a button that will summon me to you," and Archeron flipped it over, "And if you push the other one, than you will go to me.". "Huh." Spyro said and pushed it. Archeron looked back up at him. "It doesn't make sense to push now, because we are already here. And I also wanted to ask you about bringing me a friend since it gets lonely.". Spyro, without thinking said, "Yes.". "Okay". Archeron teleported them back to their home. Jiren was shocked to hear that Spyro had promised the Great King something without thinking through it first. Spyro couldn't stay as he and Nexus along with Cynder and the Future Omega, were planning to go back to the future to defeat Rabi and Dark.

In the future, rabi and Dark were healing after Ragnor had used his last attack on them. "That stupid dragon, thinking he could take us down with him. As if his stupid form could equal us gods." said Dark. Rabi said, "Why do they resist? We are only trying to do the right thing. Purify this world of all the inferiors so only superiors are left. That is justice. This is the reason I was doing this in the first place. The other gods are not right in their thinking, so we had to dispose of them.". Dark replied, "Very true, and clearing out the inferiors, we will rise to be the greatest, and given a few months, we will grow stronger than even Archeron himself. We will go to all timelines, and rule over all.". Rabi was concerned about something else. "What if those dragons are able to summon Archeron to fight at their side now. We are too weak to even take on the Grand Minister, and we must take extreme caution.". Dark laughed evily. "You honestly think that those nobodies would be able to summen Archeron? That is more foolish that that dead dragon! You need no fear. They will come back, and when they do, we will crush them utterly, and put everything how it needs to be. Now, tho only thing we have to do is wait. First, we shall kill that Cynder to break Spyro, and then we will kill him and Nexus. Spyro has little control over his Infinite form, so we need not worry. That Infinite Form is only good for defense. He is very underdeveloped in offense except in a state of rage. So he cannot think strategically while in that form. That was how I was able to so easily harm him when he was focused on you. We just need to make him angry and when he is done, we will take his power for ourselvs and finally defeat the tiny resistance. We will travel back in time to prevent the 16 Infinite dragons from defeating the First god, and we will take both this and the Infinite Dragon's power. We will be the masters of everything, and we will never be challenged again!" Dark laughed insanely, with madness glinting in his eyes as he ranted on about his evil plan.

Thanks for reading! Sorry about Ragnor's ending. There was no other easy way.
