"Uh... Does anybody know how to land?" Malefor asked, his body shaking as the 4 of them descend. "Should I be panicking right now?!"
"No, stay calm!" His brother then looked down. "No, wait, forget about what I said. YOU CAN SCREAM IF YOU WANT!"
"Oh, boy." Flame speeds through, landing safely on the ice with Sparx next to him. "They're still beginners, no wonder they're having a hard time there."
"INCOMING!" The 2 brothers fell hard on the ice. "Ouch..."
"Nice landing, aces." The dragonfly giggles.
"Yeah, maybe this flying thing ain't for us..." Spyro said, trying to stand.
"We should just stick to the ground." The other purple dragon walks past them. "So... Where to now?"
"It's pretty obvious. We gotta get in THERE." The red dragon points forward. "Sure doesn't look safe, but at least it looks safer than my previous home."
They start walking while checking their surroundings just to make sure. "Uh... Is it weird that that thing just blinked at me?" Sparx said, flying away from a frozen troll.
"Um... I guess it's wise if we keep silent and move on..." They all agreed and continue, until the the trolls break free from the ice. "Or maybe not."
"ICE CUBES ALIVE!" The 3 dragons get on their battle stances and start fighting.
"These creatures are still weaker than apes." Flame shoots out a big fire from his mouth, instantly killing one troll. He then looks at the other 2 dragons, who are having a hard time killing it with their powers. "But maybe you 2 still need my help."
A few moments of boring ape troll fights later.
The group are now in a place with many old buildings on each sides. Not only that this makes the place colder, but also darker.
"Hey... Does anybody hear footsteps?" The purple dragon asked. "I feel like we're being followed..."
"No worries. You just learned the electricity element, right? You can deal with them." Flame said.
"Yeah, I owe the enemy one, but..." The footsteps get louder. "It seems like a big one..."
"Hm..." Because nobody is doing anything, Malefor decides to do it first. "It's wise to hide somewhere behind those ruins. We need a break, that means no fighting until we feel better."
"Good idea." The 4 of them hid behind the ruins.
"Remember, take a deep breath and hold it. It'll help us hide our presence." Hearing this, they all hold their breathes. Then, a big troll in an armor walks through.
"Seems easy enough... Maybe I can surprise attack him..."
Without hesitation, Malefor flies up and dives down to the troll, hitting him. "Gotcha!" He walks around in a circle, probably dizzy from the attack. "Huh. I'm pretty sure that I didn't hit him THAT hard."
"What you did there, young dragon, was a Logic Dive." An unfamiliar voice is then heard. The group turns their head to the left and see another dragon like Ignitus, but a little shorter and has dark blue scales. He was inside some kind if prison made out of ice. "My name is Argus, and before you ask, yes, you can't just free me from outside. You need to get inside first."
After finishing the troll off, Flame walks up to him. "So, we gotta go in? Sounds pretty easy. And, Malefor did what again?"
"Logic Dive. Because he's a purple dragon, he can use more elements. That move he just used was a skill of the logic element, although it's still a weak one. It can confuse enemies, unabling them to make certain choices by themselves." He explained. "For example, when that troll got hit, he got 2 choices that he can do. He can blindly attack, or panic and run around in a circle. Because of the logic element, his body chose the least choice he wanted."
"Huh. Sort of like mind controlling." Sparx said, crossing his arms. "And, uh... I guess we better go and save you, now."
"Sparx is right." Spyro rushes inside to help Argus. "Come on."
"The same song keeps on playing on my head. I hate it, but love it at the same time. It's like a song that I heard since I was still a baby, and a song that could enlighten me when I feel lonely...""Ember." Cynder called her. "You look... Different... What's wrong?"
"Oh, what...?" The pink dragoness realized that she's crying. "Are these... Tears?"
"It's been a while." She looked at her. "You're... Sad. Can you tell me why?"
"It's... Hard to explain." Ember wipes all of her tears. "We should... Focus on out main mission here..."
"Yeah..." Cynder looked at her again. "Don't let some useless water drops get in the way of our objective. We need to free our master."
"I know..."
Meanwhile in Dante's Freezer, the 3 dragons are almost done fighting the Ice King.
"Big bro, he's gonna attack again!"
Spyro dodges the attacks swiftly. "Nice! Now's your time, Malefor!"
"Got it!" He rushes to the back of the ghoul and does a Stone Pierce, hitting his back. "Flame!"
"Comin' right away!" The red dragon quickly slides through the floor, tripping the Ice King. "And now, for the finishing touch!" He stands back up and shoots out a huge fire. "Whoop - ass completed!"
"Yeah!" Malefor jumps happily. "We did it! Our first mission ever!"
"That was the 9th mission for me, if you count the missions that Cynder and Ember gave me." Flame said, stretching his body after the fight.
"And if I'm correct, this means that all we gotta do now is to free Volteer and Argus." The purple dragon said, walking over to the ice cell. "Freeing Argus would be easy, since he's not frozen. But freeing Volteer..."
"It'll be a bit more complicated than you all think." Argus said to them from behind the bars. "They drained all of my logic powers already, but Volteer's electricity is so strong that they crave more and more of it. To keep him silent, they decided to freeze him."
"Luckily he's not dead." They all looked at Volteer's cell, where a familiar figure is seen. "You 4 remember me, Bianca? I knew that you'll be saving the guardians, so I decided to give a little help. This spell I know can melt someone that is frozen by force." She swings her wand at Volteer and melted the ice. "Done. Now that that's over, I should be going. See you all later!"
"Still the woman of mysteries." Malefor thought to himself, walking to Volteer's cell. "We're here to help you, Mr. Volteer."
"Ah, yes, a purple dragon! 2 purple dragons! I can't really remember anything that happened, but I wish to know about it!"
"He's doing it again." Argus sighed.
"Whoa, calm down, Mr. Volt!" Sparx said to him. "Maybe we should get you and your partner out of your cells first."
"That sounds good, great, perfect, splendid!"
Thx for reading this chapter!
I tried my best to sneak and grab my phone, in the time where I'm supposed to be studying for tomorrow. Luckily, I made it!
Actually, I was going to add the song that Ember was thinking of in this chapter, but it would make it weird.
The song name is Yasashii Uta, if you want to hear it.
