From Good to Evil

The young dragons arrived at the entrance to the Dark Gem Cave. Smoke was at full strength again. Ember shook and shivered and Spyro gave her a reassuring look. The young dragons entered and walked down a tangle of glistening purple corridors. They finally found a few dragons in a great chamber. Ember saw a tunnel so they decided to go through it. It came out on a large crack that viewed onto the chamber. In it they saw Flame, Burn, Ember 2, even the Professor with a machine of metal and wires, some other dragons and a strange black dragon with green eyes.

"I did as you wanted Red," said the orange dragon.

"My name is Darkness, not Red!" shouted the dragon, so loud that the walls shook. Darkness turned to the Professor.

"This had better work. Load the Dark Gem!"

The dragons placed a Dark Gem on a metal platform.

"I thought this might be a good idea mole, for after I have destroyed Spyro and his other friends."

The dragons then lifted a struggling, screaming Ember 2 into a glass tank connected to various wires and pipes and another tank, too with many wires, pipes, lights, a computer screen, buttons, levers, and on one side was the Dark Gem.

"Explain how this…this…thing works," demanded Darkness.

"Well…" began the Professor, as a loud bang was heard as Ember 2 tried to break the glass.

"When this machine is turned on, the power of this Dark Gem will be drained into this tank here," he explained pointing to the metal tank.

"Then in there the power of the Dark Gem will be perfected, made more evil and more powerful. The victim then absorbs the evil into himself or herself, herself in this case. And the rest is as you wanted Darkness, the victim is made evil."

"Well let's see if it works then," ordered Darkness.

"No! You promised you wouldn't hurt her!" screamed Burn.

"I'm not going to hurt her Burn, I'm simply going to alter her so she's one of us."

"So you plan to make Spyro evil then?" asked Burn.

"No, certainly not! I plan to destroy Spyro and his friends. Then I will make all the people in the dragon world's evil, thin I will move onto all the plant life and everything else evil. I will then make the entire universe and all other universes evil. That would make me the ruler of everything and I would have even outsmarted all other evil. Much more useful than decorating the place with the Dark Gems. Switch it on then mole!"

The Professor pushed a few buttons then pulled a lever. A violet light departed from the Dark Gem into the metal tank, then into the glass one. The light disappeared into Ember 2 who screamed in pain. One by one her scales turned dark green-blue. Her horns went deeper gold-yellow and her spikes and heart shaped tip of her tail changed colour to jet-black. Ember 2 screwed her eyes tight and cried the last tears she would as a good, kind dragon, as her scales grew harder, her claws, horns and spikes grew slightly longer. Her wings lengthened and changed colour to jet -black The Dark Gem stopped producing the purple light. Ember 2 opened her eyes that glowed red, slowly changed back to their normal colour of light green.

Burn, who had watching astonished, gasped at the fact Ember 2 was now evil and not the beautiful dragon he once loved. She didn't know who she was, let alone Burn. Ember 2 wouldn't even let him go near her. When he approached, she clawed at the glass and he stepped back.

"She must be still mad at you!" teased Flame. Burn glared at him, then lunged for his neck. Darkness held him back.

"Flame, shut up. Burn, Ember 2 has just been made evil. She needs to get used to her new self."

"But she isn't the girl I love anymore," said Burn. Smoke thought the same. For the first time, he cried.

"Is it irreversible?" asked a weeping Burn.

"As far as I know, no it is most likely it isn't…"

This chapter changed the story a little bit; I really like how I'm going to make this come out! Why is The Bully so popular I wonder?
