Considering that I've beaten the dragon already...and that he's my fave Spyro villain, I've decided to write a fic baised on Red after "A Hero's Tale." In my opinion, I think Red is just misunderstood. I mean sure he tried to overthrow his leader when he was an Elder, but if DragonElder Titan was his friend once, he might have been good before. If you've beaten the whole game and saw the ending, you know what happened to him. If you didn't, sorry if I spoiled anything. If you don't have the game yet and don't know who this Red is...STOP READING, AND GO BUY IT!
Ojo: Will you cut the crap already and start the story?!
FINE...I don't own any Spyro related characters (like I'd want to), but I will own an up coming character in the story. Also, the stuff in the story that Red said happened in his past didn't happen...at least, I think so.
Red...if you become real in the future and read this story, please don't kill me...
Bite Sized Dragon:
POV
I have to get out of here, I NEED to get out of here! I-...wha? Who are you people?! Can't you see I'm busy! Oh...it must be one of those rediculous stories in which some crazy fan makes fun of...oh no. I'm not...I can't, I WON'T STOOP THIS LOW AS TO BEING- OW! Rrrr...my tail. Stupid lab rats! Oh, YOUR still here. If your wondering about my tail, well...ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS- oh...darn it! Stop making me yell! If I'm ever to get out of this jar in one piece...oh NOW your wondering about the jar instead of my tail, eh?! Well...FINE, this story isn't going anywhere with me babbling about something you haven't even figured out yet!
It happened six months ago. If you haven't got a clue as to who I am, and what I am...I am Red, the ex-DragonElder Red. Like I really need to tell you again that I'm a dragon, unless you don't have brains to read it right. Other then that, I am no longer a DragonElder any more. Reason being...long story short, I tried to take over the Dragon Realms before and I was banished. Had to go through trials of dragon heracy, etc, etc, etc. WASTE! I could have made a great ruler. Pff! 'Fueled over jealousy and hate', my tail! How could I be "jealous" of that ruler, Oryps? He was a lousy ruler! I was actually doing good for that old fool! Well, I never got to completing that certain over throw and was banished...until now.
Soon after years of planning and waiting (I haven't got the time to count the years), I got my revenge. By studying the power within these dark gems, I happen to have obtained their power; coursing it to hit the Dragon Kingdom...they didn't suspect a thing through those years of exile. Now it must feel like its hitting them in the face. HAHA, pathetic! And Tomas was suppose to be the second wisest among them; Oryps' second hand. He should have made ME the second hand. -sighs- Oh well, they got there worth once I arrived again.
The dark gems' power soon took effect upon the lands. I don't know why the dragons were trying to hide these...powerful and beautiful tools! That just shows how this generation is turning out to be. The gems were draining all the light away from the scene. Bright, pink and pirky, to blue and grey...about time too! Having too much of that pink around was getting rather irritating! Of course, how am I, a banished dragon like myself, obtaining these dark gems in the first place? Well confused audience, I needed a little...back up for the job. There happened to be an interesting looking character who also wanted revenge upon the Dragon Realms. His name now...great, staying in this jar is making me loose brain cells, or was that the radiation from that nasty putts-...nasty...Gnasty Gnorc! That stupid waste of dragon-...oh yes, the story. Well sadly I did get help from him (although he should have taken a shower before meeting me. The nerve!) His reason being for being banished as well...stupid twit ends up being defeated by an embarassment!
First I thought I had it in the bag (NOT that I let my guard down). The dark gems were in every realm, they were doing their bidding, and I've obtained and conquered the power of ice magic, Freezia. Hmm...for some reason I'm the only dragon who likes the cold and ice. Suppose why they could never find me in my icy chamber. Too cold for them...except for a certain little twerp! I had to spread more of those gems around to keep him back. I should blame myself though, I should have never underestimated him! That...Spyro. Gnasty did warn me about him before he was defeated, but I didn't care. Who would even dare challenge the almighty Red?! Of course none of YOU would...at least you shouldn't. This Spyro was more than I expected him to be...putting Gnasty and Ineptune in charge of his death was a mistake. I should have just teleported over there and froze him to death the first time I've heard of him! That would have saved me the stress of worrying about HIM! Heck, I wouldn't have to have worried about anyone if it wasn't for him.
And so, Spyro somehow destroyed all the dark gems and defeated me, even when I was transformed into a mech-robot...and now...-whimpers- I must be shamed as to being stuck in this...this JAR, in that blasted Professor's lab! Stupid mole shrunk me with that machine; the size of a fruit bat...A FRUIT BAT! Oh the embarassment of it all! I have no staff, no army; only this jar and the more experiments of tomorrow. Ever since that maniac Professor shrunk me, he's been forcing me into these lab experiments as a punishment. Oh nooo, not the ones with the chemicals...the ones with all those gadgets and lab rats! I had to go through a maze full of them, and almost lost my tail! Well I've HAD IT! Not only am I going to break out of this lab and regain my normal size, but I'm going to get my magic and power back, and kill all of those who opposed me in their sleep! They'll all wish they never tampered with my plans, OR banish me from the beginning!
-------------------------------
cling...cling...cling...
A motioning sound of a jar rocking back and forth in place was heard in the darkness Professor's lab. 'Almost there...just a little furhter...' Red kept charging into the wall of the jar to push it forward. Fueled with determination and anger of seeing Spyro's head floating in his conscious mind. Taunting him.
"Am I suppose to be scared of you?"
"Your just a traitorous coward!"
"I just hope I fight better than you when I'm at YOUR age."
"Well, I guess your power wasn't so 'infinant' after all."
"STOP MOCKING ME!!!" Red yelled out, and charged with full force. "MY POWER WILL ALWAYS BE INFINANT!"
cling...cling...SMASH!
Red started to scurry out from under the broken shards of glass. He looked and listened around to see if anyone heard him on impact...no running feet, no panicing cries for Spyro or anything. Nothing...at all.
'Free at last! After these six months of torture, I'll get back what's is rightfully mine!' Red thought to himself, laughing under his breath.He brushed some of the dust and glass off of his wings and body for more movement. From the ground up, the room made him feel even smaller. He surveyed the room for any windows or openings. Possibly a crack in the wall? I mean Sparx could do it, why not him? He soon noticed an open pipe in the ceiling. It could lead to the roof of the building. Using his wings for flight, he took off to the air and up through the open pipe. It was a little dark on the way up, so he mostly used his flame breath to guide him through the maze of pipe lines. Soon he saw a light at the end, and broke free into the dark, rainy sky.
"HAHAHA! I am FREE! Nothing can stop me! NOTHING! Your realms will soon be mine! I-"
KYAAAAAAARR!
Red turned around slowly, as to seeing a giant, brown Phoenix flying towards its new meal of the day. "...Oh my-" Red didn't have time to talk if he wanted to live. He swooped down into a dive and started to fly away. The Phoenix, being larger than Red, started to gain speed and kept up with him. Red took another dive near the forest to lead the Phoenix. Then out of nowhere, Red dodged to the side, causing the bird to crash into a nearby tree.
"TRY TO EAT ME, WILL YOU?! Never underestimate us Dragons- OOF!"
CRACK!
Red was once again cut off short as he too crashed into a tree...then hit against a rock at hard force, then landed in the wet mud below. His left wing was twisted in a disturbed way that would make DragonElder Mangus hurl. Blood started to drip out of his back, as his now broken wing twitched and swayed with a part of the bone sticking out of its socket. The pain was unimaginable!
"I can't...believe...I fell for...that." Red mumbled, and drifted off into unconsciousness.

-gasps!- "Oh my! The poor little bat is hurt!"
'T-...that voice. Where is that voice coming from?' Red thought to himself, his head feeling numb...only he couldn't get up. He was still unconscious. But he could hear a voice...almost like a little girl's voice.
"Don't worry Mr. bat. You'll feel lots better soon...-giggles-"
