Here we go. The first chapter I had to fully type. Sorry it took awhile. Worked on others first. By the time this is posted, my first book will be finished and book two of the series will have a few chapters. I am trying my best to not fuck this story up this time, so I have to carefully think about what I type. Once I get the story up and going, chapters will be posted more frequently.
Chapter 8: The Adventure Begins
Spyro, Cynder, Sparx, and Hunter all walked north. Sparx asked, "So. How did it all happen again?" Spyro sighed and said, "I told you, Sparx. We don't remember anything after we admitted our feelings for one another except walking back to our room." Hunter said, "Give them a break Sparx. They just became mates." Sparx replied, "Alright. Fine." Spyro and Cynder looked around. They were in the forest near the city.
The group was walking when they all heard buzzing. Spyro, Cynder, Hunter, and Sparx looked up to see nothing but a black blanket of bugs. Hunter said, "I never thought I'd see those in this lifetime." Sparx asked, "And what may those be?" Hunter replied, "I do not remember their actual name, but they're commonly referred to as War Bugs in the history books." Spyro gasped and said, "I remember hearing about them. Their wings are sharper than a Dragons' Claws. They are also immune to all elemental attacks except one from the climate of which they were born. So. War Bugs born around a Volcano are only vulnerable to a Fire Elemental attack. Those born in a freezing climate are only vulnerable to an ice elemental attack, and so on and so forth." Sparx asked, "Couldn't you just engage in physical combat with them?" Spyro answered, "No. If I were to engage them with physical combat, I'd become nothing more than a fine red mist."
Sparx thought for a moment. All of a sudden, black shot from behind them as Cynder used her shadow breath. Spyro looked at her as Cynder's thoughts bombarded his mind. Spyro chuckled and said, "Guess we're doing this." Hunter shook his head in disbelief and said, "Guess so." Hunter ran towards the nearest tree and started climbing it.
Spyro and Cynder took to the sky as they worked together as the time they spent chained together became evident as they worked as one to fire multiple elemental breath attacks. Hundreds of the War Bugs fell from the sky. Spyro saw a black ball of pure dark magic fly at Cynder. He activated Dragon Time and tackled Cynder out of the way and took the ball of magic straight to the chest. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and Cynder immediately winced and almost yelled in pain. Time resumed at its normal pace.
Spyro wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at the location of which the ball of magic came from. Cynder asked worriedly, "You okay? That was no ordinary breath attack!" Spyro said as his eyes flashed pure purple, "Just fine Cyn. That was the attack of a wyvern. When the hell did they get a breath attack?!" Cynder replied, "No idea. And they couldn't learn one from Malefor! You disintegrated him!" Spyro thought for a second and said, "We should check the Volcano. Just as a precaution. For now, let's end this fight!" Cynder nodded her agreement.
As they fought, Sparx was flying to and fro offering "motivation". Sparx said, "Come on Spyro! Use that tail boy! It has a fucking blade on it for crying out loud! Go Hunter! Notch more arrows! Look at the sexy but scary Cynder obliterating everything!" Everyone's morale was shockingly increased from Sparx's comments.
All around the four heroes, battlecries loud as thunder were heard. The four heroes grouped up on the ground and prepared to fight for survival. Spyro whirled around and knocked Sparx out of the trajectory of a large ball of Dark Magic. He braced for impact. He heard a loud explosion right behind him, yet felt no pain. And then the pain hit. Spyro gasped in pain and whirled around to see that Cynder had taken the ball of magic for him. Time seemed to slow for him as he caught Cynder in his outstretched arms.
Cynder said weakly, "I figured you wouldn't be able to tank another hit like that." Cynder went limp in Spyro's arms. Spyro's eyes watered as he gently set her down, an unquenchable anger and rage boiling inside him. Spyro roared in grief, "CYNDER NO!" As he roared, his rage and grief forced a change within. His body and eyes became pure, bright, amethyst purple. Spyro immediately entered his pure fury.
Hunter checked Cynder's pulse swiftly as Spyro leapt into the air with a powerful leap, sending him twenty feet into the air, his wings outstretched as he yowled, "ONE PURPLE WHO JUST WATCHED HIS MATE DIE RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS EYES VS. THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY WYVERNS! I LIKE THOSE ODDS! I AM GUARANTEED TO WIN! I WILL TAKE ALL YOU FUCKERS ON! BRING IT!" Hunter said to Sparx with a sigh of relief, "She's alive. And Spyro is reacting like this. I am shocked that Dark Spyro didn't come out." Sparx nodded his agreement.
Spyro began a free-for-all with the army of Wyverns. Spyro let loose his Aether (Fury) breath attack. Any Wyvern it even grazed, immediately blew up in an explosion of red and entrails. Sparx looked at his adopted brother, fearful of him for the first time ever. Blood and entrails showered from the sky, covering Spyro in blood. He turned his rage-filled gaze towards the remaining three hundred Wyverns. He flashed his brilliant, grief-stricken smile towards his enemies and shot upwards into the sky as a hidden part of his control of electricity unlocked.
Everyone looked up at the sky as dark clouds began to form in the sky. Pure Amethyst Purple lightning shot through the clouds, striking any who dared get close to the clouds. The enemies looked at Spyro in fear as one said, "The Dark Lord never said anything about two purples that were mates! They sent us to die! Is this the unbridled and unrivaled power of an angered Purple?! All of us are dead! At this rate, we're practically moles in a barrel!"
Spyro roared from the clouds, "You shall pay for your crimes against my mate! THE PRICE IS YOUR LIVES!" Purple lightning lit up the clouds again as the black clouds began covering the entirety of the battlefield, engulfing the Wyverns. Shouts of terror and pain echoed throughout the battlefield with every flash of amethyst purple. A body flew out of the dark clouds, body mangled as if it fought against The Destroyer. The Wyvern's eyes rolled into the back of its head as it died, purple lightning crackling across its body.
Hunter heard a gasp of breath behind him. He whirled around fast as a snake strikes, just in time to watch Cynder get to her feet weakly and slowly. She looked around, clearly looking for her mate. Her eyes caught a flash of purple lightning that made her eyes sparkle like diamonds. She then looked at the body of the mangled Wyvern, purple lightning still crackling across it. She muttered, "That attack I took drove him over the edge. Didn't it?" Blood trickled down her back from where she took the ball of Dark Magic.
Hunter said to her as he jumped over a body that flew out of the black clouds in the same condition as the one prior to it, one of its wings ripped off, "No. Fury didn't make an appearance shockingly. He thinks you died. You did go limp in his arms." Cynder nodded in understanding and was about to take to the sky when Hunter intervened, "I would not take to the sky yet. Spyro seems to have this handled, and you did take one hell of a blow. Stay down here and take a breather. I will help him." Cynder opened her mouth to argue when another body flew out of the storm clouds. She leapt over it before it struck her. When she looked back to Hunter to continue the argument she had planned, he was not there. She looked towards the nearest tree and saw Hunter climbing it athletically. She muttered, "Damn."
Hunter looked down towards Cynder from the tree and said quietly, "Sorry Cynder. But you need a breather. That attack knocked you out for a bit. There is no way that you've recovered enough to fight." Hunter muttered in Cheetah, "I hope Spyro is able to depict friend from foe. Here we go." Hunter yowled a battle-cry in his native tongue as he leapt into the storm clouds. He fell for a few feet when his feet hit something hard. He rolled to lessen the impact and notched an arrow into his bow. Hunter yelled, "Spyro! Come catch me! We shall take these Wyverns out together!"
Spyro heard a voice yell. He recognized the voice, able to think straight for a couple seconds as he dive bombed towards the source of the voice through the dark clouds.
Hunter heard wind rushing towards him. He smirked as he leapt off and shot an arrow at a Wyvern. The arrow found its mark. The Wyvern it struck fell from the sky, blood flowing like a slow flowing stream down its neck. Hunter landed on the back of a dragon. Hunter smiled and said, "What a surprise to meet you here Spyro?" Spyro laughed weakly and said, "Let's slaughter them. For Cynder." Hunter nodded his approval and said, "I think you'll be happy to hear that Cynder is fine. She is down there with Sparx. She didn't die." Immediately, Hunter felt Spyro's killing intent drop drastically. Spyro sighed with relief.
Hunter planted his feet on Spyro's back as Spyro shot up towards the storm clouds. Spyro's rage had been sated as he released a breath attack of purple lightning towards the Wyvern. Several Wyverns fell from the sky, killed from the pure power of Spyro's breath attack.
As the battle neared its end, Spyro landed on the ground with Hunter on his back. Hunter jumped off as the remaining twenty Wyverns landed on the ground as well. Spyro looked at Cynder and smiled as he said, "I was worried that I lost you. Please don't worry me like that again. I almost lost control." Cynder replied, "I will do my best." Spyro beamed and said, "You well enough to take out these last few Wyverns with me?" Sparx looked at the two mates and shook his head as Cynder nodded her head.
Cynder walked over to Spyro's side. Hunter said, "I will give cover fire from behind you two. Go kick some ass." Cynder looked at Spyro and said, "Your pure fury? Didn't think you'd be able to activate it so soon after just receiving it." Spyro replied, "It immediately activated when I thought you died. Let's finish this fight and get on our way!" Cynder nodded and shot forwards, Spyro beside her.
Spyro dodged an attack and knocked the Wyvern towards Cynder. Cynder slit the Wyvern's throat with her claws. Blood shot from its throat as it fell over and died. Cynder activated Dragon Time. Cynder and Spyro dodged and weaved with ease and killed several Wyverns before Cynder's Dragon Time deactivated. Only five remained. Spyro released a breath attack and Cynder unleashed her poison breath. The two breath attacks combined and created a fiery poison breath attack. The five Wyverns yowled in agony as the poison filled their lungs and the fire crackled across their bodies. The five Wyverns fell to the ground dead.
Spyro deactivated his pure fury and took a breath. He asked, "You sure you can handle heading to the volcano now, Cyn? Or should we make camp so you can recover?" Cynder answered, "I will be fine Spy. We can make a camp at the volcano. Let's go." The group headed towards the volcano to investigate what Spyro wanted to investigate.
