Pyro meets Spyro
Chapter 6: Stand Together
This chapter is all about Pyro settling in and showing everyone what he's capable of. Don't think there won't be any action though (it's been killing me not writing any action so far anyway). Read on everyone.
Pyro and Spyro stood in front of their enemies. Tundra and Stone stood tall with arrogance written all over their faces. Pyro then thought, 'Ok Spyro and I need a strategy. We need to work together. We've never worked together before, but I think we can work together well.' Spyro then leaned over and said, "Pyro, these guys are at the top of their class and the best fighters in their elements. They were the other choices for the next guardians." Pyro then asked, "So why weren't they chosen?" Spyro then said, "The guardians sensed darkness in their souls and refused them. I'm thinking if you can handle Tundra I can take care of Stone." Pyro nodded and said, "I'd say I have the advantage against him."
The dragons took their stances and Pyro attacked first. He jumped in front of Spyro and unleashed a giant stream of fire. Tundra and Stone jumped out of the way and went in to counter attack. Tundra shot a barrage of ice shards at Pyro. Stone slammed his paws on the ground and sent a trial of stalagmites shooting out of the ground at Spyro. Pyro took the sky while Spyro dodge rolled out of the way. Pyro retaliated by flying down and unleashing a barrage of fire-balls on them both. Tundra and Stone dodged the fire-balls with ease. What they didn't know was that Pyro was just distracting them. While they were busy dodging Pyro's attack Spyro was charging his electricity breath. Once he was fully charged he shot a stream of electricity at them both. Before either of them had a chance to react they were hit by Spyro's attack. Pyro flew down and landed on the ground next to his purple partner.
Tundra and Stone got back up and stood their ground. Tundra then leaned over to Stone and said, "Listen I'll handle red scales. While I handle him you keep Spyro busy." Stone nodded and ran at Spyro. Pyro then looked up to see Tundra diving down at him. Pyro fell onto his back and used his back legs to kick Tundra over him. Spyro ran at Stone and the two rammed each other. Stone was older, bigger, and physically stronger than Spyro (mainly because he's an earth dragon. Earth dragons excel in strength). Tundra shot another barrage of ice shards at Pyro. Pyro turned around and used his tail blades to smash all the shards. Tundra charged at Pyro full speed and covered his paws with ice gauntlets that had razor sharp claws on them. Pyro knew that this was trouble. He countered by lighting his paws on fire. The two dragons both threw a punch and clashed.
Tundra tried to slash Pyro, but he ducked and uppercut him in the jaw. While Tundra tried to recover from the blow Pyro slammed his fire fist into Tundra's chest sending him skidding backwards. Tundra then went in for another attack and tried once again to slash Pyro in the face. Pyro dodged to the right and slammed his left fist into Tundra's gut. Tundra felt nearly all the wind rush out of him with that blow. He then tried to punch Pyro back. Seeing the attack Pyro, ducked under the attack and moved to the left. He then punched the ice dragon in the face with his left paw. Tundra then used his right paw to try and punch him in the face. Pyro fell to ground and sweeped Tundra's legs out from under him with his tail. He then used his paws flip to his other side. He then delivered a powerful kick to Tundra's ribs and sent flying.
Ember, Flame, Cynder and Sparx were baffled at what they just saw. Flame turned to Star and asked, "How the heck did he do that?" Star turned to him and said, "Pyro's a master at paw-to-paw combat. Before he became king of the dragon city he mastered many techniques that involved close combat. When it comes to fighting up close and personal, no one can beat him." Everyone was impressed, but the battle was far from over.
Spyro was battling Stone head on. Stone attacked with his earth flail. Pyro jumped over the attack and retaliated with a comet-dash. Pyro turned to Spyro and saw him perform the technique. His brain instantly analyzed the technique and copied it. Tundra finally recovered from Pyro's attack and got up. While Pyro was watching Spyro's fight he didn't see Tundra coming in for his attack. Tundra used his tail to slash Pyro across his chest. Pyro rolled across the ground, but jumped to his feet after recovering. Stone had just recovered from Spyro's comet-dash and covered himself in a ball of earth. He rolled at Spyro at high speeds and tried to crush him. Spyro jumped out of the way and kept trying to stay ahead of the giant boulder. Pyro saw this and he knew he needed to act fast.
He then decided to go nova mode. Tundra attacked once again and shot of stream of ice at Pyro. As the shards came within a few inches of Pyro's body they instantly evaporated. Pyro's body lit on fire and released wave of heat. Pyro then opened his eyes and turned to Tundra who was frozen with fear. Pyro then turned his attention to Stone's giant boulder. Pyro then charged at Stone full speed. Spyro watched as Pyro came charging in to help him. Spyro then watched in shock as Pyro did a giant comet-dash. Pyro then started spinning and turned the comet-dash into a comet-drill. He then smashed through the stone sphere and shattered it. Stone was thrown out of the sphere and into the wall of the stadium. Stone slowly stood up and looked at Pyro in shock; he broke through solid stone with a fire attack. He also copied Spyro's technique and made it even more powerful and effective.
Spyro then turned to Pyro and said, "Dude that was amaz… are you okay?" Pyro looked exhausted. Pyro had focused all of his fire energy into breaking through the stone wall; changing and improving a move all at once is draining. Also breaking through solid stone is difficult for any fire dragon. Pyro then thought to himself, 'Something's wrong. I shouldn't be tired yet. Unless…" Pyro looked up to see that the sun wasn't out. Without the solar rays of the sun, Pyro's energy would run out if he kept using super powered moves like that last one. Not only that he couldn't use the full extent of he couldn't go past nova-mode level three.
Spyro was sure that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out. While both dragons were focused on Stone, Tundra managed to shake off his fear and attacked them both. He charged at them full speed, and shot an ice bomb in between them. The bomb exploded and blasted the two dragons away from Stone and each other. Spyro and Pyro had been hit by dozens of little ice shards. Spyro took twice as much damage from the attack; Pyro's nova mode had melted most of the ice shards and he didn't take as much damage from them. The only real damage he really took was the explosion from the bomb. Spyro was on the ground and tried to stand up, but he was struggling with the ice shards still in his body.
Pyro turned around to see both dragons moving towards him. He had to think of something. Stone stood on his back legs and slammed his front paws into the ground sending stalagmites at Pyro. Pyro responded by jumping back away from the attack. Stone sent more stalagmites after him to try and end this battle. Pyro then stood up on his front paws doing a cartwheel and slammed his back paws on the ground; this sent Pyro into a triple back flip. He easily stuck the landing and stood his ground against the two dragons.
Cynder then said, "Wow that was impressive. I didn't know dragons could do that." Star then said, "Until recently, no one from our city knew we could do it either." Flame then said, "Wow Pyro, is one amazing dragon, but I don't know how they are going to win this battle." Star then said, "I'm afraid you might be right. With the sun blocked out, Pyro can't use his full power. However Pyro has gotten out of tighter spots alone, and this time he has a partner."
Back in the fight, Pyro was starting to panic. His energy was at less than half and he had to think of a way to help Spyro. Stone shot an earth bullet at Pyro who dodge rolled out of the way. He then looked up just in time to see Tundra shooting an ice stream at him. He jumped up in the air just in time to dodge it. When he landed back on the ground he slipped on the ice. Stone and Tundra came charging in at full speed. Pyro then looked down at the ice and got an idea. He dug his claws into the ice and pulled as hard as he could while also rolling onto his back. The force of his pull sent him into rapid spin on his back. Pyro then opened his mouth and shot a fire stream at both of them. They both jumped over the attack and were forced back. Pyro then flipped himself up and faced them both.
Pyro then thought to himself, 'What the heck am I gonna do? Spyro's injured and I'm running out of energy fast. No, no… I can't panic I have to stay calm no matter what. Think, what can I do; the sun's still blocked out and my powers dropping rapidly. Since neither of these two are fire dragons I can't absorb the heat from their attacks either. If only I had one of those spirit gems… wait a minute of course how could I be so stupid? I still have the crystal I created with Ignitus. Wait, I have no idea what that could do to Spyro, but I don't really have a choice right now. It's all or nothing, I've at least got to try. Okay I better put this plan into action.'
Pyro reached under his wing and grabbed the golden gem. He then turned around and yelled, "SPYRO CATCH!" Spyro looked up and saw Pyro throw the golden gem. Spyro caught them gem and held it in his right paw. Spyro then yelled back, "Pyro we have no idea what this thing does!" Pyro dodged an earth flail attack form Stone and yelled, "JUST BREAK IT!" Spyro shook all doubt out of his mind and used all his strength to crush the crystal. The golden gems were then absorbed into Spyro's body. Spyro's eyes then shot wide. His body was then covered by a golden light. The shards in his side were then pushed out and healed almost immediately. Flame then asked Star, "What's happening to him?" "I-I don't know." She quickly responded. Pyro looked down at his paw and thought to himself, 'My body is overflowing with power. I feel incredible. Alright then it's time to finish this fight.'
Stone and Tundra then turned to see that Spyro was fully recovered and fully recharged. However Spyro knew that even with his new power he couldn't fight both of them. His attention was called away by Pyro as he yelled, "Spyro shoot me with your fire breath!" Spyro turned to him and said, "Are you nuts?! I'll roast you alive!" Pyro then yelled back, "Trust me, just do it!" Spyro was hesitant at first but he believed that Pyro knew what he was doing. Spyro flew into the air and blasted Pyro with a super charged fire stream. The flames engulfed Pyro and spread out in every direction. Everyone gasped as they saw what Spyro had just done.
Ember then said, "Why- why did he do that?" Cynder then turned to Star who was expression was unchanged. Cynder then asked, "How can you just sit there after what just happened?" Star turned to her and said, "Pyro's fine. Don't you remember what he told you all yesterday?" Cynder shook her head no; she didn't remember everything Pyro had told her. Flame then gasped and said, "Guys look!" Everyone looked over the edge and was shocked by what they saw. Pyro walked out of the flames completely unharmed.
Stone then yelled to Pyro, "How are you not injured, that was an enormous fire-stream!" Pyro then said, "I can absorb the excess heat from any heat source including other dragon's fire attacks. I don't gain as much power as I would from the sun but thanks to Spyro's super charged fire stream, I'm back to least half power." Tundra and Stone both look worried, but then turned to face the two. Pyro then turned to Spyro and asked, "Spyro, how much power do you have left from that crystal?" Spyro felt the energy inside him and said, "I think I at least have half of its power left inside me." Pyro smiled and said, "Good now listen, here's what you have to do. Concentrate all the power you've got left into your maw and fire it. I'll do the same." Spyro nodded and started to focus all the power he had left form the gem. Pyro closed his eyes and started doing the same. Both dragons then opened their eyes. They both then opened their maws revealing golden sphere's in their maws.
Pyro and Spyro, both unleashed their beams and blasted both Tundra and Stone. Both dragons were blasted back into the wall of the stadium and were knocked unconscious. Pyro and Spyro both walked to their friends and said, "That's how it's done!" Cynder ran up to Spyro and hugged him tightly. Star ran up to Pyro and did the same. Pyro then turned to Spyro and said, "Well then, I believe you were taking me to see your friends." Spyro nodded and said, "Yeah let's go." Ember then said, "Hey, what about them?" Pyro then said, "They'll be fine. Let's just let them sleep." Flame then said, "Hey at least we know what that crystal of yours does. You gotta let me try it sometime." Pyro laughed and said, "No problem Flame. Ignitus told me they would be growing around here like the other gems."
Everyone headed to the training school where Pyro and Star would finally meet the future guardians. What will happen next? You'll have to wait for my next update to find out.
