Fiery Lightning

Chapter 1: Light the Fire Within

Disclaimer: I do not own Spider Riders and I have no clue who does. If you want to know watch it on the WB network at 10:30 eastern time. I also do not own Light the Fire Within, LeeAnn Rimes does.

An: This is a yaoi, yuri story with hints of heterosexual relationships. If you don't like it don't read it! The pairings are as follows: Lumen/Magma, Hunter/Igneous, Sparkle/Corona, and Aquane/ Castle Seer with hints of a Magma/Glena.

All that I can really remember about my mother is the lullaby that she used to sing to me when I was little especially now. Now that we are at war with the Invectids it holds a whole new meaning to me. I think I remember how it goes. As I am fighting it starts to play through my head.

Have no fear

When darkness falls

Cause there's a light that shines

Within us all

My mother used to say that even if someone was afraid of their light they should try to harness it anyway. But then again look where using that philosophy got her and father. They're dead now because of their ideals. I personally am afraid of my light because it's too powerful.

Although the world

Can turn so cold

When we reach inside

We find our warmth

Cause there's a flame that burns

In every heart

And it's the will we have

That lights the spark

While I'm battling I'm ruthless and don't offer no mercy. But on the inside I'm crying because I hate fighting. I hate the death and destruction that fighting can cause. After all of the useless deaths that this war has caused including my parents' own deaths you would think that the Invectids would have stopped fighting us and just negotiated by now. But they haven't and I'm seriously losing faith that this war will end.

Once in every lifetime

There's a chance to stand apart

We can show the world

Our very best

Reveal what's in our heart

So the story goes and glory

Never will end

Inspiration lights the fire within

Then there's the matter that because of this war and his spider being separated from his sister I can't be with Magma; the one that I love. I haven't even seen Magma for two years and for all that I know Magma may be dead. Also my best friend and surrogate sister Aquane has been captured by the Invectids and turned against her own people and friends. I may never get Aquane back and worse yet I may even have to kill her to win this war. I have lost everything but my sister and I may lose her yet at least that is how I feel about this goddamn war.

And if we fail

We won't stay down

We will get back up

And use the strength we've found

And we will rise

Like champions

Every obstacle

We'll overcome

But I'll keep on fighting this godforsaken war because it's my duty and because I don't want to leave my sister Sparkle with a legacy of war with the slim chance that we may win this war. I want my little Sparkle to be happy and live a long and peaceful life even if I have to die to obtain this for her. I hate it when Sparkle's sad or when I don't see Magma for a long time. But when I do see Magma and when Sparkle smiles it makes me forget about the war and the sadness that is included in this war.

Chorus

Now that the battle that I was in is over I just want to go home and sleep because if I don't the memories may overwhelm me.

And if we just stay strong

Then our hearts will move us on

But then sleeping is not a good idea because instead of memories haunting me nightmares haunt me. Nightmares of death and destruction. Nightmares of sadness and despair.

Chorus

The only thing I can do is sit up, go to my office and do my paper work. The paper doesn't hold any memory of war so it is safe.

Each heart there burns desire

Inspiration lights the fire within

I guess I should be happy I did survive another day. All well at least my people can say that whenever there is trouble all they have to do is shout:

Calling all Spider Riders!
