New found power

There was a clink of metal and a thump and then there was silence and Spyro realised that the one dragon he loved more then air and had sworn to protect was dead.

"EMBER! NOOOOOOO!" screamed Spyro, his head was exploding with anger, sorrow, pain and guilt as his heart was broken once more.

"She's gone! SHE'S GONE! Oh god no! Please don't be dead!"Spyro yelled in his head. All of his emotions where screaming the same things over and over. He couldn't believe it, he just couldn't. It all seemed so wrong. "How could I let this happen!"

Then there was only rage. A rage like nothing he'd ever felt before, burning within him like an inferno . His face was a look of anger. His head felt like it was about to burst. Then he turned to face Evil.

"YOU!"he growled.

"HOW... DARE... YOU!"he screamed. He felt the burning anger building up inside of him. Consuming him like fire. Then he felt power.

He felt as if he was bathed in warm water. He looked at his hand, it was slowly turning from purple to a bright gold, one scale at a time.

Evil noticed this and his smirk disappeared.

"No... it can't be!"he gasped as Spyro got to his feet.

Spyro's eyes where no longer their usual colour of purple. They had turned gold also, plus he was floating above the ground.

"You have... DESTROYED the only girl I ever LOVED!"snarled Spyro as

Evil started to back away.

"Keep away from me,"said Evil in a slightly worried tone of voice.

"I'M going to destroy YOU!"yelled Spyro.

Evil sent a blast at Spyro who raised his hand and sent it back at Evil.

This time, Evil was sent into a wall and landed in a heap.

"This can not be happening!"screamed Evil as Spyro lifted him over his head by his throat.

"How could you?"asked Spyro, a tear making it's way down his cheek.

Evil had his eyes closed as if he was elsewhere

Spyro levitated Evil and sent him flying around the room hitting wall after wall until stopping on the floor in front of Spyro.

Spyro bent down and grabbed Evil by the neck, then, with a ripping sound and a sickening crack, Evils head was torn off of his body, blood spurted everywhere.

Spyro flew up into the air and dropped Evils head to the ground.

He made his way over to the edge of the cliff where Ember had fallen. Spyro was crying his heart out as he flew down.

But then his heart gave a sudden jolt when he noticed a small ledge which had fallen away from the cliff. Hope welled up inside of him.

Heart racing, Spyro landed on the platform to find Ember on her side and in terrible condition.

He collapsed to his knees, his mind felt like it was burning.

"Ember... no.. Please don't leave me! ...you can't leave me... please Ember!" he cried, clutching her hand in his.

He lay down beside her and wrapped his arms and wings around her. He pressed his snout to embers in a long and passionate kiss that made Spyro cry even harder.

"Ember... come back! ...Please! I can't live without you! I love you! Come back to me! Please! ... Please!"begged Spyro.

Spyro nuzzled Ember and when he felt Embers warm lips press against his he flooded with relief.

"Ember! You're alive! Oh thank God you're not dead! I was so worried!"Cried Spyro. He felt like he could explode with joy, his heart ached and his tears became tears of joy and happiness.

"Spyro... I'm sorry... I had to do something..," whispered Ember, who had also started crying.

She wrapped her arms around Spyro's warm body. Spyro drew her closer to him and kissed her gently on her neck.

His mind was racing, he felt stronger with Ember. He felt his love for her burning more intensely then his rage. All his worries seemed to vanish as he held her in a soft embrace.

"Ember, I love you so much ...never leave me ...I couldn't live without you,"whispered Spyro, stroking her side gently.

"I'm not going anywhere ...I love you too much ...I'd never leave you,"replied Ember, her love showed in her voice as she gently kissed Spyro reassuringly on his snout.

They shared one more passionate kiss before helping each other up.

"Spyro!"called the professors voice from the top of the cliff, "Spyro, are you alright? Spyro answer me!"

"I'm okay professor, Ember survived the drop! She's alive!" replied Spyro with a shaky voice.

"She's alive? Thank goodness! I was frantic with worry!"replied the prof as Ember and Spyro flew up to the cliff top.

"My God! You two look awful!"said the prof.

"Thanks a lot professor,"replied Spyro sarcastically.

"That was some display of power, Spyro!" said Elora, who had just walked up behind the prof.

"It was obviously the combined power of your rage towards Evil and your love for Ember transferring themselves into kinetic energy and expelling through your mind as telekinetic energy,"stated the professor.

"English please!" asked Spyro.

"You where able to transfer your emotions into power!"sighed the prof.

BANG!

The cave shuddered and dust crept down from the ceiling. The walls began to crack with a noise that sounded like an explosion.

"The caves collapsing!"yelled Hunter, grabbing Elora and running for the exit.

"Run!"yelled Spyro, grabbing Ember and the prof and following Hunter.

"The exit's blocked, what do we do now!"yelled Hunter.

Spyro looked around, obviously trying to think up a way out.

"Where's Sgt Byrd?"asked Spyro.

"Right here old chap!"replied the familiar voice of Spyro's jet-pack equipped friend.

"If your thinking about using my jets, They have been emptied of fuel so they wont work!"said the penguin.

"What about the emergency parachute you keep in that flap on the side?" asked Spyro, dodging a falling rock.

"It's right here!" he yelled and handed the parachute to Spyro.

"What are you doing!" yelled Elora when Spyro strapped it on.

"We can use the hot air from the lava to lift the parachute up through the crack in the ceiling!"said Spyro with a grin.

"Every one hold on!"he said as he dove across the lava. It worked and Spyro started to lift up.

"Why can't you just fly?" asked Hunter as they all rose up through the ceiling.

"The lava would make that very difficult. The heat pockets are too distorted to fly up," said Spyro as they floated gently down towards Dragon Village.
