Spyro meets Pyro
Chapter 24: A New Battle and New Powers
Last time on Spyro meets Pyro: Our group of dragons had fully recovered from their last fight, and were heading to meet Candice at 'Dante's Freezer'. Not long after their arrival they were greeted by Razor who had finally finished his training with Ignitus. Upon further inspection Pyro and his general foresaw a trap that was soon sprang. They were all captured and taken to an arena where they would fight for their very lives. Flame was the first to fight and the first to win. Upon fighting in this battle he unlocked his own 'nova mode' and realized what it truly meant to be a fire warrior. Now we join our heroes once again, and we all wonder the same thing. Who will fight next?
As the sun everything was being put into place. Two days had passed since Flame's battle and everyone was growing curious as to who or what would be battling next.
Now we join everyone as they are all greeted by the wolves. The wolf guards take the dragons to the same room they were being held in when they were first captured. As Flame entered the room he decided to break the ice (no pun intended).
"Hey guys, I hope your all enjoying you're stay as much as I am." Everyone couldn't help but chuckle and giggle at the fire dragons attempt to ease the tension. Sparx was the first to say, "Nice one hot head, and I gotta say you were amazing in that fight yesterday."
Flame nodded and said, "Thanks but I couldn't have done it without Pyro's help. If it hadn't been for his training I probably would have lost that fight."
Pyro shook his head and said, "No Flame, I may have taught you the skills, but your the one who used them in that battle. In the end it's your victory not mine." Flame smiled at his friends who were all nodding their heads in agreement. Ember then said, "What I can't believe is that you have your own nova mode now."
Flare followed up on that comment and said, "Yeah, that was amazing. I thought only Pyro could do that. How did you pull it off anyway?"
Flame smiled and said, "Yeah… I have no idea what happened with that. I just started building up my power and then it just felt like it all rushed out of my body. Then before I knew it, I was glowing with this red energy."
"Better let me take a look." Razor said stepping close to fire dragon. Razor closed his eyes and began to focus on Flame. His eyes then shot open to reveal both his eyes were glowing blue. Flame felt a strange tingle flow through his body as his psychic companion continued whatever he was doing.
As Razor stopped analyzing Flame his eyes went back to normal. He then said, "I didn't see anything at first, but after deeper inspection I found something."
Sparx then said, "Well don't leave us in suspense, spit it out!"
Razor sighed and rolled his eyes before he said, "It seems Flame's fire core and his newly formed comet core, are circling each other in a perfect balance. But there appears to be a very small third core in between them. Small, but very powerful.
Pyro decided to take a look of his own. He activated his thermal vision and looked inside Flame. Sure enough Razor was right. This third core although smaller in comparison was in definitely powerful. He began to examine the third core and finally figured out what it was.
The dragon king turned his eyes back to normal and said, "Ok here's what I think happened. When Flame built up all that power his cores began to increase in size and were about to explode like a fire fury. However what I'm guessing is that he was drawing on both powers at the same time."
Ember then asked, "And that means what exactly?"
Pyro turned to her and said, "Like Dian said 'our bodies automatically make the energy of our bodies exist in a balance'. These energies, no matter what they are, circle each other in an eternal flow. Normally we can call on these powers individually, while the flow is still in progress. However what Flame did was different. By calling on both those powers at the same time, and increasing the size of them, the flow was disrupted and the two cores overlapped creating this new energy inside Flame. That new energy is the source of Flame's nova mode."
Sparx then asked, "What does this mean. Is it good, bad, dangerous, or safe?
Pyro stayed silent for a minute before smiling to everyone. He then said, "Flame here just created a new fire form."
With that everyone gasped and looked at the fire guardian who had the same surprised reaction. He then asked, "What is it?" Razor then said, "From what I saw yesterday, Lazzer."
Flame smiled and said, "That is so cool."
Ember nuzzled him and followed up by saying, "Definitely, I can't believe you have a new power. There is one thing I wanted to ask you though. Where'd you learn to fight like that? You were completely different from the way you normally fight."
Spyro followed up by saying, "Yeah, I've never seen you fight like that. You were fighting the way, Pyro usually… oh."
Flame smiled and said, "After that fiasco at the Lightning Fortress Pyro decided it would be a good idea if trained with him for a while. As you all saw yesterday in my battle with Atrocitus, it payed off. Now I'm better than ever."
Candice stepped forward and said, "Uh yeah, I hate to be the party pooper here, but we still have a lot more fighting to do before we get free." They all nodded showing that she was right. They all then turned their heads as they heard Glacia's voice, "How right you are."
Glacia appeared with two large wolf soldiers accompanying her. She walked in with a prideful look about her.
The wolves snarled at the dragons getting them to back up a few feet. With those power inhibiting collars on they didn't dare do anything to upset these overgrown mutts. Pyro watched her as she entered the room. The ice dragoness then turned to him and shot him a flirtatious gaze.
This made the fire king recall what happened yesterday, making him blush and turn away from her. Star noticed this and kept raised a brow in confusion.
The white fire dragoness then asked, "What do you want 'Ice Queen'?! Glacia turned to her and said, "Now, now no need for attitude. I just came to tell you whose fighting today. Also I would like Spyro, Pyro, and Candice to come with me."
Stella swallowed hard then asked, "S-So who is fighting today?" Glacia turned to her and said, "Don't worry it's not you. It's the psychic dragons time to fight."
Razor let a smile come to his face and said, "Finally, I've been dying for a good fight. I'm ready to go anytime!" Glacia smiled and said, "Glad to hear that. Now you go with the wolves and they'll take you to your assigned gate. You three come with me."
Reluctantly Spyro, Pyro, and Candice all followed Glacia to who knows where she was leading them.
Glacia stopped in front of large cell door and said, "You'll find the Ice Elder in there. She is ready to help you whenever you are ready."
Candice was suspicious about this and asked, "What's the catch? I doubt that you're doing this out of the kindness of your heart. You must want something in return, so what is it?" "Oh trust me I will be rewarded by my master. So go ahead in, Pyro you come with me."
Spyro and Candice looked at each other worriedly before turning to the door. Spyro then stopped, turned to Glacia and said, "Hey, if you do anything to my brother, you better hope I don't get this collar off, because I will make sure you don't live to regret it."
Glacia looked back with an evil grin as she said, "I'll keep that in mind, purple boy."
With that Glacia walked off with Pyro close behind. Pyro made sure to keep his distance after what happened last time. He continued to watch the white dragoness and began to observer her features. He had to admit she was beautiful. Her scales looked like the smooth surface of snow, ands she had her own hour glass figure which was definitely attractive. Glacia then stopped and turned around with the same flirtatious gaze she gave him before.
Pyro took one step back as a precaution. Glacia giggled then turned to the right. Pyro looked to the side and saw a large circular door, with an hourglass on top. The door was very well decorated, but also had an ancient look to it; however what most caught Pyro's attention was the feel of the door, like it was frozen in time.
He turned to the ice dragoness and asked, "Why did you bring me here?" Glacia smiled and said, "I brought you here so you could train." Pyro raised a brow and asked, "Why would you do that?"
She giggled and said, "Call it a personal favor. Your and Spyro's opponents are very dangerous and my master wants to be sure you both don't die before you fulfill your destinies."
Pyro snorted and said, "So, he's making sure his merchandise doesn't get damaged right?" "Precisely." She said in a chirpy tone. She took a step closer and said, "However Malefor only wanted me to throw you in with Spyro. He wanted to make sure you didn't get too strong."
Pyro then said, "But you didn't care. You want to see what I can really do." She nodded and said, "Well I have some theories about you that I think can be proven true if you are put in the right... situation."
Pyro then asked, "What is one of these theories?" Glacia smiled at him and said, "Well after witnessing the battle you had with Gaul, I believe you have the ability to unlock one more element, but which one I'm not telling. Now I brought you here for a specific reason."
The fire dragon once again looked at the door and asked, "And that would be?" "This room recycles time making it shorter and go by slower; basically what would seem like a few hours out here would seem like a few days in there." She said sounding very wise.
Pyro was amazed, but then a thought came into his mind. He turned back towards her and asked, "What's the catch? I know you want something from me."
Glacia smiled and took another step forward as she said, "Actually, I will need sufficient payment." Pyro felt a little uncomfortable having her be so close. He then nervously asked, "And… what would that be?"
The ice dragoness smiled and answered, "I'm sure you remember that little thing I did yesterday." He nodded slowly. She then grabbed his collar, pulled him closer, and said, "I'd like you to do something similar to that. I'll let you decide what."
Pyro's eyes shot as big as the moon as he heard that. At that moment Star sneezed and raised a brow; she had a funny feeling that something wasn't right.
Pyro was looking down and was really trying to figure this out. Glacia then said, "Of course you could always say no, and you and Spyro can just take your chances with your opponents unprepared."
Pyro then grew tempted to ask, but he was afraid of the answer. He then decided 'what the heck?' and asked, "Who are our opponents?" Glacia smiled and turned around as she said, "Tell me, your majesty do these look familiar?" The ice dragoness tossed two objects toward Pyro that landed near his feet. Pyro eyed both objects curiously.
One of the objects was a white smooth crystal. The other was a pendant with a symbol of a storm cloud and a lightning bolt on it. Pyro started thinking back to his time in the human world. He tried to remember all the games he played and all the movies he watched as a child.
After thinking for a bit, Pyro's eyes shot wide; he knew who the opponents were and he now knew that he and Spyro would be in for the fight of their lives. He then narrowed his eyes and turned to her as he asked, "Which one is mine?"
Glacia smiled as she pointed to the crystal. Pyro nodded and said, "You're right, the way I am now, I'd barely be able to fight either of them.
Glacia then smiled and said, "Well, I'm waiting. By the way I'll let you decide when to stop." Pyro then thought, 'What does she mean by that?'
The fire dragon moved forward and rubbed his side against the ice dragonesses as he walked past her. He then curved around and began to nuzzle the side of her neck. Glacia was obviously pleased, her purring being a signal of that.
Pyro then began to lick and nip at her collar bone getting her purr even louder. He was about to stop when he felt something. Something inside him was swelling and filling up his entire body. He began to lose control as his body, which began to move on its own.
The fire dragon put his paw on the ice dragonesses' shoulder and slowly dragged his tongue all the way up the back of her neck. Glacia began to moan in pleasure as this happened. Pyro's tongue like the rest of his body was incredibly hot and felt good to any dragoness.
Pyro then began to repeatedly like her neck right below her chin getting her to moan even louder. Glacia's breathing had become husky and it looked like she was breathing steam; not only that, she was also blushing.
Before she could react, Pyro used the paw on her shoulder to turn her head and kissed her. Glacia gladly accepted this gesture. However as this happened, Pyro had finally managed to get control of his body back.
The fire dragon jumped away from her and began to breathe really hard. His body was burning and he felt dizzy. He had never felt so disgusted with himself before. He then asked in pit of rage, "What just happened, what did you do to me?!"
Glacia smiled at him and cleared her throat. She then said, "I didn't do anything, you did." Pyro was really starting to get mad and asked, "What happened to me?" Glacia feeling slightly intimidated decided to tell him.
She sighed and said, "Do you remember that fight you had with Gaul?" He nodded and then it him like a ton of bricks. While he was doing that move that over sized ape stabbed him with a shadow coated knife.
He then said, "That knife, there was something in it. What did the flea bitten ape do to me?!" Glacia couldn't help but laugh at the name Pyro just made for her so called superior. She then said, "The blade contained a small harmless magic. It raises your more instinctive behaviors to someone who has a shadow similar to yours."
Pyro then asked, "A shadow?" Glacia nodded and said, "That's right. When Flare shared her darkness with yours she unintentionally linked you to us."
Pyro growled and thought, 'When I get my claws on that ape, I am going to rip every one of his limbs off!' Pyro then looked over to Glacia to see her very close to his face. He tried to back up, he was up against the door.
She then said, "Now any female with darkness similar to yours can drive you wild." Glacia took one more step forward and kissed him again. Pyro began to struggle, but the same feeling from before began to overtake him.
His eye lids began to go down as the ice dragoness kissed him. She deepened the kiss very quickly and slipped her tongue in. To the fire king it felt like cool air and water were being poured down his throat. Pyro began to make small moans of his own, which Glacia was overjoyed to hear.
But this time he wouldn't be so easily taken over. Pyro managed to fight back the magic and pushed her off. He then said, "I held up my end of the deal, now you hold up yours."
Glacia sighed and said, "Ok, the door will open and you can begin your training whenever you feel ready. Also this crystal will let you watch the battles that will be going on. You're match is in four days, but you will be in here for exactly two days in normal time. Good luck." With that Glacia left winking at the now flustered fire dragon.
He took in a deep breath and sighed, but as he did a gust of wind came out and blew up snow. Pyro then looked at the ground and thought, "How did…?"
He took in another deep breath and this time breathed as hard as he could. This time a breeze came out of his maw and blew a bunch of snow into the air. He smiled to himself and said, "That's what she meant by another element. I have wind now, but how is that possible?"
Pyro looked down and shook his head. He decided to deal with this when the tournament was over.
Pyro stepped inside the chamber and prepared for his training. What he would do in there, how he would change, and would he still be sane when he came out? No one will know until he comes back out in two days.
As the fire dragon walked inside he realized something. He would be here by himself. He then thought, 'Training here alone won't produce many results. It be a lot better if I had a partner to train with. Someone who could really push me to my limits. How am I supposed to get stronger alone.' Suddenly a voice called out in Pyro's mind, 'You're not alone Pyro. If you needed a partner all you had to do was ask.'
Pyro began to panic and looked around the giant white void as he called, "Who said that? Where are you?! Show yourself!"
The voice then called out again but this time even louder. "Oh come on bro, don't tell me you haven't figured it out yet. We've already met a few times before."
Before the fire dragon could figure out who it was, shadows engulfed his body and shot off in front of him. The shadows began to create the figure of a dragon and finally settled into a physical form.
Pyro was baffled at what just happened. He was now looking at black version of himself completely made of shadows. As he looked upon this new dragon he realized who it was and said, "It's you, but how are you here?"
This dragon was the source of Pyro's dark powers and the source of his black flames. He was known as Fraxus. The memories of Pyro's past transformations came back as he saw him and the guilt of these acts waged heavy on him.
Fraxus then said, "It would seem that this realm does more than just recycle time. It also makes it so that I can have a body of my own and talk to you face to face."
Pyro snorted and said, "What do you want Fraxus?" The black fire dragon laughed and said, "I'm here to help of course. You need someone to train with don't you?"
Pyro snorted and said, "Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather train alone then with you. You've done nothing but cause me emotional pain and guilt in the past. You think I'm actually going to let you cause me physical pain too. Forget it!"
Fraxus laughed and said, "I'm afraid you don't have much of choice. I'm staying and if want to turn your back and let me attack you, that's fine by me. Besides I know your dying to know which one of us is stronger."
Pyro sighed as he said, "Fine, but we do this on my terms. I have to admit it's going to be good to see which of us is the stronger dragon."
With that Pyro's training had finally begun.
Unknown to the fire dragon, Star had seen everything through her bond mark and she was utterly distraught. How could Pyro kiss that evil witch? This was unthinkable and just plain wrong. She then locked her eyes on the ice dragoness and let a very loud growl of anger as she approached.
The white fire dragoness walked up to her and asked angrily, "What did you do to Pyro?" Glacia smiled nonchalantly and said, "Why Star, I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't done a thing."
Star's growl deepened as she said, "Don't play dumb with me, ice witch. I saw everything and I know you did something to him!"
Glacia smiled evilly and said, "Oh, what's the matter feeling intimidated now that you have some competition." Star's face was completely in shock as she said, "What do you mean competition?" The ice dragoness laughed as she responded saying, "I'm sure you felt good knowing you had that dreamy dragon all to yourself. Now you feel threatened now that he's show affection to someone else."
Star was beside herself; she didn't know if this dragoness was just playing with her or if she was actually right. She then shook her head and said, "Look, stay away from Pyro alright. He's mine, and no one is taking him away from me."
Glacia let out a huff as she said, "You better tell him that then."
That last sentence made Star really start to worry. It's true she saw everything Pyro was doing at the time. She saw everything he did with Glacia and saw him go in that strange room. She could only wonder what was he doing, and if he was actually considering being with Glacia. As that last thought came into her mind she couldn't help but cry silently in her room.
While the love triangle was being drawn, Spyro and Candice were being introduced to the ice elder. As they entered the dungeon they were saw a shadowy figure over by the wall. The figure was obviously a dragon and the young ones moved closer.
As they moved closer it was revealed that the dragon was a female. She was beautiful. Her scales were not the shade of an ice dragon, but were a light ocean blue. Her horns, laws, and tail spear were all black. Her horns were completely straight like Cynders, and her claws were curved and looked like meat hooks. Her eyes were the most mesmerizing they were a teal blue and looked like the flowing water in a pool that shined in the sun.
Spyro then asked, "Miss, are you the ice elder?" The elder dragoness nodded and said, "I am purple dragon, and I am glad I finally get to meet you, both of you. Please tell me your names." Spyro was the first to answer, "My name is Spyro." Candice was the second, "My name is Candice. I'm the next Ice Guardian. I'm glad I got to meet you."
The blue dragoness then said, "My name is Aquaria. I'm sure you know that I do not only hold the elements of Ice." They both nodded and had excited looks on.
Aquaria continued her explanation, "I hold the elements of Ice, Water, Sound, and Healing. Candice and Spyro's jaws were wide open and their eyes were as big as cartoon characters. This dragoness was amazing.
Spyro then asked the question he was going to, "What element am I going to learn?" The ice elder looked down at Spyro and responded, "You'll be learning the element of water. It goes very well with the element of ice, but it useful in all kinds of situations."
Candice quickly asked, "What about me, what will I learn?" Aquaria turned to the excited dragoness and said, "You will learn all you can. As the Ice Guardian, I'm sure you have lot's of potential."
Candice smiled at hearing this powerful elder compliment her like that. She then looked over to see Spyro was smiling too.
Aquaria then turned around in the cave and walked over to an ice wall. She then began to tap on the wall in different areas, as if she was testing the ice. She tapped two more spots before her claw finally stabbed through the ice.
The ice elder smile and pulled back her paw. She then delivered a very powerful punch into the ice getting to shatter into dozens of pieces along the ground. Candice's jaw dropped as she saw this. Without even using her element this elder dragon had shattered an ice wall; not only that she figured out exactly where it's softest spot was in no time at all.
The ice elder then lifted up her left paw towards the pieces of shattered ice. As she did this the ice began to melt and turned into small puddles of water. This is war really surprised the two dragons.
Although Spyro had turned water into ice before he had never seen it done in reverse… well not without fire at least. Candice was the same and as the ice guardian she couldn't believe that this was actually possible to do, but the world was at stake, so she didn't have time to doubt herself. Not only that she could only imagine how Tremor would feel if he found out she gave up; he would never let her live it down.
Aquaria turned back to her pupils, cleared her throat and said, "Ok, first things first. Your going to learn how to control water itself. Once you both have a firm grasp on that, we will move on to the more complex practices."
Spyro and Candice looked at each other and nodded. They both lifted up their paws and began to focus on the puddles of water. As they focused the water began to make ripples and small movements.
Spyro and Candice then broke their focus on the water. It felt completely different than ice. They were confused and decided to ask for advice. They looked at each other and nodded again.
Both dragons then turned to Aquaria with questioning stares. Candice then said, "It feels really different ice." Aquaria smiled and asks, "Well how does ice feel young one?" Candice then thought for a minute then said, "It feels, cold, focused, ands thick."
Spyro then followed up her statement saying, "It also feels stationary, like a needle or a spear. That's what I always thought anyway. It always felt like I had to focus on that one bit or on a single point." Candice nodded in agreement. Aquaria giggled at what they said confusing the younger dragons.
Spyro and Candice gave each other confused looks and asked simultaneously, "What's so funny?" Aquaria smiled and said, "Oh i wasn't laughing about your explanations. I was just laughing because that sounds all to familiar. I'm going to guess that your teacher was Cyril the ice guardian.
Both of them got surprised faces before smiling. Spyro then asked, "How did you know?"
Aquaria then said, "He always thought like that. He was always so stiff and only focused on perfection. I'll never understand how I fell for him." Spyro and Candice's jaws dropped like weights as they heard those words leave Aquaria's maw.
Candice then asked, "You and master Cyril… dated?" Spyro followed up by saying, "I didn't think that dragon would date anyone."
Aquaria smiled and said, "I'm glad to hear he's alright, but we can talk about that later. Let me explain this to you both. Water is a free flowing element, like the wind. It's always changing shape always adapting to the environment like a living thing. To control and manipulate it or any of the other forms of ice, you must be able to change the flow of your own energy."
The young dragons understood what she was talking about. There were many forms of water, rain, ice, oceans, lakes, streams, tidal waves, and even puddles. Not only that it was always changing.
Now that they understood what they had to do, they were ready to try again.
Aquaria quickly said, "Now take a deep breath, clear your minds, and let your power flow freely, like a river through the forest." After hearing their teachers words they both took a deep breath, closed their eyes and began to concentrate.
This time the water began to make larger movements. The puddles began to group together and lift of the ground. They then formed large bubbles above the ground and moved towards them.
Aquaria was astonished, these two were a natural. Of course this was to be expected, Spyro being the purple dragon and Candice being chosen as the Ice Guardian. But for them to come so far after struggling at the beginning is amazing.
She then decided to see how far they could really go. She then said, "Good job both of you. Now focus on moving the water around you. Let it flow freely around your bodies."
As she instructed them to do, Spyro and Candice let the water come towards them. As it did the water bubbles changed shape to what looked like large snakes. The water then began to move around their bodies with ease: between their legs, around their heads, and even around their tails.
The two of them had learned the element of water. Spyro then began to feel strange. His body felt like it was overflowing with a new kind of energy.
Candice and Aquaria stood back as the golden markings on Spyro's body reappeared and shined in their eyes. However this time the four circles on each of Spyro's thighs held a symbol of his original four elements. Now there were three symbols on the backs of his paws. These symbols were of his new elements: lava, lightning, and now water.
Soon Spyro's body turned back to normal and the glow died down. It was obvious his body was reacting to his new abilities and now it was showing that he was indeed getting stronger. The purple dragon looked to Aquaria and asked, "What just happened?"
The ice elder answered, "Your body is responding to your new power. Once you learn the last of the elements your body will fully evolve. Once that's done you must go back to the Chronicler and he will instruct you from there."
Spyro smiled as he said, "That sounds simple enough. Too bad it won't be." Aquaria then heard someone coming and said, "I guess your friends battle is about to begin." Candice then said, "After seeing Flame's battle, I can only hope that Razor will fair better. I can only guess who they'll pair him up with."
Spyro then said, "What I'm worrying about is who they'll pair me with when it's my time to fight." "We'll have to wait and see young dragon. I just hope the training I give you will be enough to face your opponent."
The wolves finally came in and began to escort the dragons to their seats, after putting on their collars of course.
Once they were there the wolves went back to the rest of the pack leaving the dragons alone to watch the show and talk amongst themselves. Everyone looked at each other and saw they had the same looks of fear and helplessness.
Spyro was only hoping that Razor would be ok no matter who his opponent was. He then said, "Pyro and I are going to have it the hardest. I can't even imagine what opponents Malefor and his goons prepared for us."
Spyro then felt someone nudge his left side and turned to see who it was. It was none other than his brother Sparx who also had a worried look on his face, but his seemed different. Sparx used his head and his eyes to point to someone further down the row. Spyro peeked behind his brother and saw that he was pointing to Star.
The white dragoness didn't have a look of worry but one of pure sadness, and despair. Spyro then asked, "What's wrong with her?" "I don't know. Ever since Glacia came and got you, Candice, and Pyro she's been that way. Something's bugging her, but she won't talk to me." Spyro looked at the white dragoness with a look of pity as he saw her sad face.
He then said, "It's probably everything that's going on right now. Pyro's gone, one of her best friends is about to fight to the death with an unknown opponent, and were all being held prisoner in Dante's Freezer." Sparx then replied, "I hope that's all it is. I'd had for it to be something bigger. We've been through enough as it is."
The conversation was interrupted as the announcer began to speak, "My fellow pack mates, and visiting dragons, I am happy to present the next battle. Today you are all in for one heck of a show. Today we two of the strongest beings in the dragon realms, and the universe going head to head. Coming from gate #1, is Pyro's top general, a master strategist, and the only dragon whose element comes from his mind, RAZOR!"
Razor came out of the gate and made his way to his place in the arena. He then took a non-interested look around at the stadium and crowd. As he did this he let out a huff putting off a non-impressed look on his face.
The psychic dragon then narrowed his eyes and faced towards the gate. Ready to attack whatever came out. He was ready to put his life on the line for his friends, his home, and his king.
The announcer soon continued as the crowd began cheer. Spyro and the others were cheering for their dragon companion, hoping he would show these mangy wolves what happens when you mess with dragons.
"And his opponent. The conquerer and destroyer of worlds. The being known as a god to his people on the planet 'Apokolips' and ruler of the Apokoliptian's. Everyone I give the being who defeated the man of steel and soon the slayer of dragons, DARKSEID!"
Conner's eyes shot as big as saucers as he said, "AH CRAP, It just had to be him!" Stella then said, "Why do I have the feeling, that this 'Darkseid' is not going to be an easy opponent for Razor to beat?" Conner turned to her and said, "Stella, he'll be lucky if he get's out of this fight alive."
Everyone's eyes opened wide as Conner said this and looked back into the arena.
As the gate opened a figure stepped out into the light. It looked like a humanoid creature with a body made of grey stone. His eyes were deep crimson blood red, and he wore black, hat, shoes, pants, gloves and a shirt.
The look on his face was one of seriousness and said that he wasn't in the mood to trade banter. Razor had the same look on his face and kept his eyes locked on his opponent.
Darkseid was the first to speak, "Let me tell you in advance young dragon, that I am very impressed by your standings. Being the general to a king and being know as one of your worlds greatest champions is indeed very impressive; however I'm afraid you stand no chance at defeating me. You will die in this stadium and your blood will be spread across the ground."
Razor snorted and said, "Although I am grateful for the compliments, I'm afraid I will have to disagree with your claim. I'm winning this match no matter what because unlike you, I'm not fighting for myself."
Darkseid smiled and said, "Well we'll just see who walks out of here in the end, dragon. Now let's seance this useless chatter and get on with our battle."
With that Razor narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, 'OK, it looks like he's got a figure for power, but I can use my psychic power to make up for the power difference. Also I probably have the advantage when it comes to speed. For now I'll have to do as much damage as I can before I transform.'
Razor then closed his eyes and began to channel his power through his entire body. He then opened his eyes and locked his eyes on Darkseid. He then charged straight at his opponent without a second thought.
Darkseid got into his battle position and stood his ground. As Razor came in he suddenly disappeared then reappeared behind him. Razor then delivered a powerful punch into his enemy's chest with his right paw and followed up with a slash to his face with his left.
Razor then tried to spin around with a tail slash, but before he could fully swing his tail Darkseid grabbed it. Razor opened his eyes in pure shock as this happened. He turned back to see a big evil grin on Darkseid's face. He then swung the grey dragon around and slammed him into the ground.
Razor had the wind knocked out of him and he felt like he could feel his spine nearly split in half with that one blow, but it wasn't over. Darkseid swung Razor around, while smashing his through the rocks of the stadium floor, and tossed him into the stadium wall.
Razor let a roar of agonizing pain which filled the stadium. It got cheers out of the wolves who were enjoying the show, but revived looks of pain from the dragons who were being forced to watch this.
Razor coughed up blood from the impact, but he wasn't about to give up. He looked up just in time to see Darkseid coming for another attack. He had to think of a way to counter and quick.
He thought of a response and waited for oversized rock man to get in close. Darkseid came in with a powerful punch, but just as he came in Razor reacted.
The psychic dragon sunk his claws into the wall behind him and flipped his body onto the wall. Darkseid then looked up to see his target clinging to the wall like an insect or a lizard would. As his fist collided with the wall, it began to crumble into rubble. Razor jumped off the wall behind Darkseid, landed, and launched himself at his back.
As he made contact he smashed him into the wall and the rubble he had created. Razor then flew a few feet away from the spot. He knew this battle was far from over, but he didn't know just how right he was.
Darkseid exploded from the rubbled and walked towards the teenage dragon. He the cracked his neck and said, "Very impressive young warrior, but I've seen better. Let's see how you handle my 'Omega Beam'."
Razor raised a brow to this statement. Before he could even react a beam came out of his eyes in a zig-zag form and headed straight for him. Razor did a hand stand on his front paws to dodge the beam, but the ray circled around and nailed him in the side.
The teenage dragon was once again sent flying and skid across the ground on his face, and upper body. He tried to force himself up, but Darkseid wasn't letting him recover that easily. The conquerer jumped into the sky and landed right on top of the wounded dragon. Once again Razor coughed up blood and let a roar of pain.
The grey dragons head fell onto the ground as tried his best to take in oxygen. Darkseid stepped off of him, reached down, and picked him up by his face. He then said, "I told you reptile. You had no chance at winning."
Razor then opened one of his eyes and looked at his opponent who was grinning evilly at him. He then looked behind Darkseid and saw one of the rocks he had created from the wall. He used his psychic power to pick it up and started spinning it.
He then said, "And I told you, I was winning this match no matter what!" Razor shot the rock from it's current position and made it smash right into Darkseid and sent him flying.
Razor coughed loudly as he flopped onto the ground. He then managed to stand up and faced Darkseid again.
The doom bringer stood up once again and faced the beaten down dragon and smiled as he said, "I admire you're bravery young one, but this battle is over. It would only take one more attack, to finish you."
Razor looked down and said, "Normally I'd like to conserve power and save my trump card for later, but right now I can't afford to do that. I have to give this fight everything I've got right off the bat. Now you'll see what I'm really made of!"
Razor closed his eyes and began to gather all his power. As he did this his body began to shine with same blue light as whatever he'd use psychic energy on. As he opened his eyes he revealed his pupils to be gone.
He then lifted his head up and let a loud roar as his power exploded out of him. "RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Darkseid tried to shield himself behind his arms, but the force of power coming from Razor was too strong and he began to be pushed back. He then looked behind one of his arms to see that Razor had been encased inside of a light blue sphere that was shooting a blue beam into the sky.
Spyro then said, "Man, this is crazy. Pyro never told me Razor could do that too!" Cynder then replied, "Well it's not like you actually asked him about it!" Flare then screamed, "What is he doing?!"
Sparx then yelled to her, "He's transforming so he can release all of his power. It's a little weird so don't be too surprised by it!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! NNNNNNGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
With that last might yell the sphere Razor was inside of exploded and the pillar shot outward creating a powerful push in every direction.
Everyone in the stands was blown back against their seats, Spyro and the others were blown onto their sides, and Darkseid was even pushed into the air. As they all recovered they were all greeted with the sight of the 'Elemental Master Razor'.
Razor had transformed like Pyro and had grown into an adult sized dragon. His body was giving off the same light blue glow as before, and his eyes were no exception. His shoulders had small comma shaped blades while his back had spikes going from his head to his new super sharp curved tail blade.
Darkseid smiled and said, "Hopefully now you'll be more of a challenge. Let's just see what you can do, reptile."
Razor let out a loud growl as the words left this rock faced monsters mouth. Although he looked fierce, inside he was already doubting himself. The psychic dragon had faced many enemies, but none have ever had him completely outclassed before. He had been forced to use his trump card, so early in the fight. Now he was not even sure he could be him in his improved state.
The psychic dragon then thought, 'I can' second guess myself now. In this form I can at least keep up with him. I can't quit now! I've just got to give it my all and show this guy you what happens when you mess with me.'
Razor narrowed his eyes and charged his opponent head on. Darkseid tried to throw a punch, but Razor moved to left, blocked it with his left arm, and delivered a powerful punch to his chest with his right fist sending him flying back.
The psychic master wasn't done yet. He flew after Darkseid with incredible new speed. He flew over his still stunned opponent and delivered three punches to his gut sending him downward. He then used his tail to grab onto his leg.
Razor then spun around in a ball and tossed Darkseid towards the nearest wall of the stadium. While he was still flying Razor blasted him with a psychic beam as into the wall.
Razor snorted and yelled out, "Had enough?!"
As he looked into the cloud of smoke he had created Darkseid's omega beams flew out towards him. He tried to use his psychic power to stop them, but it wasn't working, they were too strong. He pushed his psychic abilities to the limit and just barely managed to redirect them away from him.
He then looked down to see monster himself flying at him. Darkseid pulled back his fist and tried to punch the grey dragon. Razor reacted with his very heightened battle sense and sent Darkseid back with an uppercut.
As soon as Darkseid landed he cracked his neck as if nothing happened. He then looked up to see Razor coming in for an attack. He retaliated with his omega beams and shot him in the chest.
The transformed dragon then looked up to see Darkseid coming in. He then grasped his hands together and smashed Razor downward and into the ground. The grey dragon bounced off the ground before he finally rolled to a stop.
As Razor regained his strength he looked up to an ugly sight. Darkseid came crashing down and stomped Razor into the ground. Razor coughed up blood from the force of the impact. Darkseid then reached down and grabbed him by the neck and held him up. He then said, "As I said before, you have no chance of defeating me. You will lose and you will die."
On the sides lines everyone couldn't believe what they were seeing. Razor was being completely dominated. They couldn't stand the sight of this carnage.
Flare then said, "He-He can't win. This guy he's just too strong." Sparx then said, "It's not over yet, he can still turn this around. He just needs to find the strength to fight, like Flame did before."
Razor tried to fight against him, but he could barely breath as Darkseid began to crush his wind pipe. Suddenly an image of his friends back home, of Pyro, and of his mate Trisha flashed in his mind. His eyes then shot open as he said, "I Will NOT!"
Razor then spun around and smacked Darkseid in the face with his tail blade knocking him backwards. He then flew in and delivered a powerful punch into his face getting him to skid back. Darkseid then looked up to see Razor come in and deliver a double kick with his back legs into his chest sending him skidding back even farther.
Darkseid locked his new hate filled eyes on the dragon. The psychic then said, "There's more where that came from." Flame then said, "All right! He's gaining ground on him. This fight isn't over yet!"
Darkseid once again shot his omega beams at Razor, who quickly opened his wings and took off into the sky, as it impacted on the ground. He then shot three more rounds of his omega beams after Razor as he began to maneuver in the air.
Razor then thought, 'That omega beam again, I have an idea but this is going to be close.' Razor spun to dodge the first omega beam, barrel rolled to dodge the second, and flipped upside down to dodge the third. He then flew full speed ahead for Darkseid as the beams looped around and came after him.
Razor then once again flipped upside down and flew down behind Darkseid as he stood in place and watched. As he flew towards the ground he gave a mighty flap of his wings and flew forward and stood back to back with Darkseid.
As the omega beams came in and Darkseid was about to turn around, Razor reached up and grabbed the monster's head, swept his legs out from beneath with his tail and flipped him over and made him take the full blast of his own omega beams. Darkseid was sent flying by his own attack and bounced off the ground, but Razor wasn't finished yet.
He flew after him and just as he landed back on his feet, he delivered a barrage of punches to his chest and sent him flying into the air with another uppercut.
Cynder smiled as she said, "He's getting back in it. He can win this!" Spyro then said, "Something's not right." The black dragoness turned to him and asked, "What do you mean?" Spyro then said, "Look at him, the way he's fight is too clean. It's almost like he's thinking everything through."
Cynder then asked, "Isn't that a good thing?" Spyro nodded and said, "It usually good to have a strategy, but it's not good to think everyone of your moves through. You start second guessing yourself and making mistakes, and your moves start becoming predictable. However you can immediately respond if one of your moves changes, because you've thought ahead."
Cynder then asked, "So what's going to happen?" Spyro then said, "If things turn back in Darkseid's favor. I don't think Razor can turn this around if he doesn't change his way of fighting and fast."
Razor had flown up after Darkseid and flew above him with amazing speed. He then looped around and flew downward towards him. He then increased his speed with a psychic pulse and elbowed Darkseid in his stomach. He then focused his psychic power into his paws and began to deliver multiple punches to his body.
He then put his paws together and smashed him downward into the ground. The force of the blow was so great it created an enormous crater in the ground. Razor's breathing had become very deep. He was straining himself beyond his normal limits just to keep his lead in this fight. He looked along the ground for any trace of his opponent.
His eyes then spotted movement on the ground. Darkseid's fist had punched through the rock and he jumped to the surface. His movements were slower than before. It was obvious Razor had done some damage, but it didn't seem to be to much.
Razor then let out a loud growl and dove for Darkseid. As the monster looked up he saw Razor coming in and he had no time to react as the dragon punched him back into the crater.
Flame then thought, 'Common dude, you can do this. Just keep fighting.'
Razor then jumped out of the crater and got back into his battle position. Candice then said, "Looks like he can win this." Ember took a closer look and said, "He's not out of the woods yet. Razor's taken twice as much damage as Darkseid. His whole body is shaking. He's probably exerting himself just to stand right now." The pink dragoness then thought, 'Let's just hope that I'm wrong.'
Darkseid once again emerged from the crater and brushed himself off. Razor went in for the attack. Darkseid tried to punch him but he ducked and uppercut him. He then followed by spinning and smashing his tailbalde into his side, hard.
He then delivered two punches to his face, jumped up in the air, and double kicked him away.
Darkseid once again skidded to as stop and thought, 'That's it! This fight has gone on long enough.'
Razor came in for another punch but Darkseid dodged to the right and slammed his fist into the dragon's gut knocking the wind out of him. He then grabbed him by the horns and slammed him on the ground. He then picked him up and kicked him in chest.
Razor bounced across the ground and fell on his back as he skidded to a stop. He then tried to force himself up. His legs began to wobble as he tried to stand.
He then flew at him again, but to no avail. Darkseid grabbed his kneed him in the face. He then used a powerful right hook to send him flying thought the air.
As he impacted Razor created a crater in the ground. Darkseid then flew over to the now severely injured dragon with his hands behind his back. He then said, "As I said, you cannot defeat me."
The dragon growled and said in a determined tone, "This fight (huh)... is not (huh)... over (huh)... yet." Darkseid then smiled as he said, "Yes. It. Is." He then unleashed the full power of his omega beams on the psychic dragon making him scream out in agony.
The crowd of wolves, apes, and humans in the stands were cheering for more, but Spyro and the others were horrified that one of their own was going through this kind of agony.
Back in the 'Time Chamber' Pyro was still training with Fraxus. Both dragons were out of breath and were panting heavily. Fraxu then took a look at the crystal Glacia had left and saw the situation Razor was currently in.
The dark dragon then said, "Looks like your friend there is getting his tail handed to him." Pyro looked over to see that his other half was right. Razor was loosing.
Pyro then thought, "I was afraid this would happen one day. I have to help him!" Fraxus then asked, "How? We can't leave here until our 2 days are up. Even if you could leave you can't interfere with the fight."
Pyro then close his eyes and began to concentrate. Fraxus then asked, "What are you doing?" Pyro then said, "Quite I need to concentrate. I'm going to Razor. With that Pyro calmed his mind and began to still his spirit. By doing this he could branch out his mind and reach his friends.
Razor was being completely overpowered by Darkseid's omega beams and was helpless to try and resist. Finally the bombardment ended and Darkseid began to check the body.
He picked Razor up by the neck and smiled as he began to crush him by the neck with his super strength.
Razor then heard a voice in his mind. "Razor, what are you doing?! This is not the way you fight!"
Razor then thought, "Pyro is that you? Look I'm giving it all I've got. I tried." Pyro then yelled, "You are not giving all you've got Razor. I've seen the real you, I've seen how you really fight and this isn't it!"
Razor then asked, "What are you talking about?" "The Razor I know puts his heart and soul into a battle. You put everything you've got out there unless your opponent isn't worth it. You love battle, but now you've changed. Ever since you gained the power of an elemental master you've been over-thinking everything and hesitant about using your powers."
Razor then said, "I know... It just happened after I gained the power. Being a psychic dragon my power comes from my mind I thought being like that would make me a better psychic master. And after I saw you in that dark form I was afraid of what my full power might do to me."
Pyro then said, "Razor listen to me. You are not me, and this is not you. You can't be afraid of what might happen. Be the you, you used to be, be the warrior I can go into battle with and have the time of my life, be who you are! Show them what it means to mess with the best general I have! Or are you just going to give up and let this guy destroy you. If that's what you choose, then I guess I misjudged you."
Razor then felt like a bomb went off in his head as those words rang in his head. Pyro then asked, "So what are you going to do? Who are you?"
The grey dragon then narrowed his eyes and said, "I am Razor!" Pyro smiled as he heard that.
Back in reality Darkseid continued to squeeze the life out of Razor. He thought the psychic dragon was dead until he opened his eyes. Darkseid smiled and said, "It seems you don't know when to quit."
Razor looked at Darkseid with pure anger in his eyes. He then used whatever strength he had left to double kick the god like monster away from him. Although he was pushed back from the kick Darkseid barely felt the blow and mearly brushed off his chest.
Everyone then looked at Razor as his body began to shine in a very bright blue light. The psychic dragon then opened his eyes and let out a loud growl towards his opponent who looked at him and dared him to attack. Razor closed his eyes and remembered Pyro's words, he was absolutely right. It was time to stop hesitating, to stop thinking through every detail. The time had come for Razor to be who he truly was.
He then opened his eyes and began to speak. "You know ever since I gained the power of the elemental master, I've been hesitant about using it. After seeing what it did to Pyro and not know what it would do to me I didn't dare try. I've always been holding back, afraid I would change, afraid I would hurt someone, but you are my enemy, and apparently you can take it. Well I'm done holding back. It's finally time for me to cut loose, and finally see how powerful I really am!"
Razor then closed his eyes and called upon the latent power within him. Suddenly his body began to pulse. The shine on his body began to make small pulses along his body and spread out through the ground.
Darkseid then thought, 'What is he up to? It would seem that this is about to get interesting.' The blue suddenly exploded and sent a shockwave throughout the arena. The grey dragon's body was once again engulfed by a glowing blue sphere as he let out a loud roar.
Just like the time before the sphere dispersed and revealed Razor. As everyone eyed the dragon they received a shock. Razor had gone back to his normal teenage size. His body however had changed. Razor's body was decorated with blue three blush markings all across his body that looked like slash marks. They were on each of his shoulders and there were two long ones going all the way up his sides. He had one mark going up from his tail and ending in the middle of his forehead.
Sparx then asked, "Is that it?"
Spyro then said, "No…there's… there's definitely something different about him. I can feel it form here. He's… changed."
Ember then turned to the others and said, "Let's just hope this new transformation can put an end to this battle and give Razor the edge he needs to win. Otherwise that big light show and the beating he took will have been for nothing."
Everyone didn't want to admit it, but they knew the pink dragoness was right. If Razor didn't turn this battle around and fast, it would end right here.
As the psychic dragon opened his eyes they were revealed to be glowing blue, but the glow was different this time. Darkseid smiled and said, "It would seem that all of that was just for show. It would seem your death has finally come dragon."
With that Darkseid unleashed his omega beams at full power. Razor narrowed his eyes at the beams, but stood his ground all the same.
As the beams came within a few feet Razor lifted up his right paw and his new claw like markings began to glow along his body with his psychic energy.
He then narrowed his eyes on the beams, and clenched his paw into a fist. Then almost immediately they stopped in their tracks. The length of the beam soon caught up and gathered together into two energy spheres. As the spheres were being held in place they turned blue and flew close to Razor.
Darkseid was completely surprised and thought, 'How is this possible. Earlier he could barely even alter the course of my omega beams, but now he cannot only stop them, but control them as well. Just what has this dragon done?'
Razor then opened his paw and shot his arm forward sending the now blue omega beams at Darkseid. The two beams zigged and zagged across the arena and headed straight for their target.
Darkseid blasted the two beams with another omega beam and turned his attention back to the dragon. As he looked he saw Razor closing in on him with new found speed that completely outclassed what he had before.
As Razor came in Darkseid tried to punch him. The punch looked like it would hit, but as soon as it was about to touch Razor it passed right through his body. The figure the dark titan had punched was now see through and faded in a flash.
Everyone including Darkseid then looked to see that Razor was behind him. He had moved so fast he created a fake image of himself and used his psychic power to sustain the image.
Before Darkseid could react Razor unleashed a punch so powerful it was heard throughout the entire arena and sent Darkseid flying through the air.
Darkseid flipped himself up right and floated over the ground. He then looked over to Razor to find him still in the same place.
Darkseid then thought, 'Interesting. No one's ever pushed me this except Superman. It would seem this fight will not be as easy as I previously thought.' Before he could react, Razor once again used his new speed to close the distance.
Darkseid attempted to slow him down by shooting a barrage of his omega beams into psychic dragon's path.
Razor smiled and began to easily avoid the beams by jumping, dodge rolling, and of course flying. He continued to close in, but Darkseid's plan had indeed worked. Razor had slowed down to curve around one of his blasts and now he could strike.
Darkseid threw a powerful punch at Razor grinning as he imagined the pain it would cause the dragon. Razor lifted his right arm and grabbed the monster's fist. Everyone in the arena let out a gasp. Although it looked like Razor was putting most of his strength in holding the fist back, it was unbelievable that he just simply stopped it in the first place.
Razor then spun around and flipped his opponent over his shoulder. He then shot a giant blue beam into Darkseid and sent him crashing into the wall on the other side of the arena.
Darkseid then smashed his way out of the rubble and flew at the Razor head on. Razor snorted and charged as well. The two increased speed as they flew towards each other. While he was flying Razor gathered up a ball of energy in his paw. Once he was only a few feet from Darkseid he smashed the sphere into the ground sending out a psychic pulse sending him flying back.
Darkseid locked his eyes on the dragon and yelled, "I will not be bested by an oversized lizard." Razor snorted and said, "Enough Talk! This battle ends now! I'm going to show you my new ultimate technique!"
Razor's entire body exploded with psychic energy and the markings along his body stretched out. His eyes and paws began to glow as well, and the crowd was growing anxious to see what he would do.
Razor's paws were covered in psychic spheres as he stood up on his back paws. He then combined the spheres into one and increased its size to the size of a military jeep.
The sphere continued to grow in size until it was the size of a two story house. The sphere then rose into the air as Razor continued to manipulate it with his paws and pour more of his psychic energy into it. This really would be Razor's final attack.
Razor then yelled, "Nrrrrrgggggaauuuhhhhh, GO!"
The sphere then came flying down like a meteor. Everyone watched in not only surprise but alarm as well. Darkseid narrowed his eyes and flew up at the giant sphere. He then put his arms out an attempt to catch the attack.
Razor then smiled and said, "I don't think so." Once again his eyes lit up and his paws were encircled by psychic spheres. He then yelled, "Now Disperse!"
Just as the Darkseid came within a few inches of the sphere it suddenly dispersed into around 50 other small psychic spheres. The spheres then surrounded Darkseid who mearly looked around in complete surprise.
Razor smiled as he said, "Just because I'm fighting like I used to doesn't I'm going to use a strategy in a fight! This is my new ultimate finishing move!"
The blue spheres of energy began to go in a circle around Darkseid and glowed as they did so. Razor then yelled, "My Ultimate Move, PSYCHIC INFINTY!"
Razor then crossed his arms and the spheres let out bright glow. Suddenly all of the spheres began to shoot small but very powerful psychic lazer blasts at Darkseid hitting him from all directions. It was getting hit by a barrage of machine guns; however this attack wasn't over.
Razor then surrounded himself with psychic energy making himself, his markings, and each of his blades glow as well. In plain terms his spikes, claws, and tail blades looked light-sabers.
Razor then flew towards the sphere cage and toughed one of the spheres. As he did this it looked like his body was transferred through the sphere and he shot through one of its lazer blasts. As he passed Darkseid inside the sphere he slashed and went on to the next sphere which shot him again.
Razor was being shot around at random, but he knew what he was doing. Cynder watched in awe as Razor completely changed at was now taking charge of this battle. She then gulped and said, "I'm glad he's on our side. I'd hate to be on the wrong end of that attack."
Everyone nodded showing they agreed with her. Flame then said, "Wow, I guess Razor really is my double. We pretty much did the same thing, except I only shot one lazer and disintegrated my opponent. Razor's tearing this guy apart."
Spyro nodded and said, "I have to agree, I guess this guy won't go down with just one strong attack. Razor must have figured a barrage would be more effective, and from the looks of it he was right."
Darkseid finally had had enough. He activated his omega beams to full power and began to shoot all around. When all the spheres were destroyed he flew back down and landed on the ground. He then looked around for his opponent, but Razor was nowhere to be seen.
He then heard something behind him and whipped his head around to see what looked like a lazer buzz saw coming straight towards him. The attack was Razor making one more move. Without any time to attack, Darkseid took the saw full on as it slashed through him.
As the attack finished Razor uncurled himself and flipped back on all four paws. He then turned around to see his opponent still standing. Darkseid's body was beginning to crumble apart and his whole body was shaking.
He began to take a few steps towards the psychic dragon who had done this to him. He took one step after another slowly making his way toward him.
When he finally managed to get over to him he stuck his fist out and made a weak punch to Razor's snout. Although it would have hurt him normally, Razor felt like he had been punched by a youngling dragon. He decided it was finally time to end this.
He reached up his paw to Darkseid's chest and said two words, "I win." With that he sent out a psychic pulse from point blank range and shattered Darkseid's body into pieces. Razor had one his battle and gained a new level of power in the process.
The announcer was in shock as he said, "He-He won! Everyone the winner is the psychic dragon Razor!"
Razor then heard the uproar of the crowd and turned to them. He had a confused look on his face, as watched the crowd who before wanted to see him beheaded, but were now cheering for his victory. He then smiled and shrugged his shoulders as he waved back at them.
Some wolves soon came out to get and take him back to the others. Razor didn't feel like resisting, so he transformed back to his normal state and went with them quietly.
As he got back inside he was taken down in dragon pile as his friends congratulated him, along with two hugs from Candice and Stella, and fist bumps from Flame and Spyro.
Sparx then said, "That was awesome man. To tell the truth I thought you were going to die out there." "So did I, but I stopped thinking so much and fought the only way I can. I'm back and this time for good." Razor said feeling more confident than ever.
Flare then asked, "What got into you out there anyway?" Razor looked to the fire dragoness and responded, "Let's just say Pyro gave me a few words of reassurance, but he was so loud that now I have a headache." Everyone laughed at Razor's joke and they all felt good.
Razor then looked around and asked, "Where's Star?" Cynder then answered a little worriedly, "Well she's been acting strange ever since Glacia took Pyro to train by himself."
The psychic dragon then asked, "What's wrong with her? Did something happen?" Flare then asked, "We don't know, she won't talk to us. She stayed in that corner until your fight started, bus she's been there since then."
Razor looked over to the white dragoness and walked over to her. Razor then decided to figure out the problem before he got to her.
He then asked, "Star, are you alright?" "I'm fine Razor, thanks for asking. I'm glad you won your battle."
Razor then smiled at her kind words, but as he learned what was wrong his smile went away. He then said, "Star, I just read your mind, is that really what happened?" Star was surprised that she forgot Razor could do that, but she knew she couldn't hide it from him.
She then said, "I don't know what to think. I mean I saw it happen, and after what she said I… I just…" Razor then pulled her close to his chest and let her calm down. He then said, "Star, listen Pyro may be a little weird at times, but you know who he is. He would never betray you. We can listen to what he says when he gets back ok."
The white dragoness whipped her tears and said, "Ok." She then thought something and said, "Razor, if that guy was your opponent, who do you thing Pyro and Spyro are fighting?" The psychic dragon shook his head and said, "Pyro's never lost to anyone but Jones, and me. Whoever he's fighting must be someone of incredible power. I just hope whatever training he's doing, it'll help him."
Glacia was watching from behind a corner and giggled as she said, "You have no idea."
What an epic battle. Will Spyro be ready for his battle in two days? Will Star find out what's really wrong with Pyro and clear her doubts? What will happen to everyone else during their battles? Tune in and find out next time in my next chapter of Spyro meets Pyro.
