Chapter 6: Escape from Inu's Castle.
Shade and Spyro were surrounded on all sides by shadow dragons and dragoness. Cynder was still on Spyro's back unconscious so Spyro knew that he would have to protect her with his life. If anything happened to Cynder again then he would never forgive himself. He kept thinking of what just happened to her, and couldn't believe it.
"Hey Spyro," Shade called out to him and snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Well, well, well. Looks like Cynder was able to snap you out of my control," a dark voice said.
Spyro looked around and saw Inu walking up, with some shadow dragons in gold armor in front of him.
"Yes. She was able to snap me out of the control you had on me, but now she is hurt. Move or I will make you move," Spyro said with a snarl.
"Tsk, tsk. Such anger from you Spyro," Inu said with a laugh.
"Sir, what do you want us to do with them?" one of his golden guards asked.
"Hm... Kill him", and with saying that Inu turned around and walked away.
The shadow dragons started closing in on Spyro, Cynder, and Shade; however, before they could reach them a line of them were killed by a huge fire blast.
Spyro looked around, and could see three dragoness and a dragon.
Come with us," one of the dragoness called to Spyro.
Spyro started running towards the dragons, but was blocked by five more shadow dragons. They started to attack Spyro, and Spyro ducked down to block the attack. Spyro never felt anything as he looked up and could see a light blue dragon holding off the attackers. Spyro watched as he threw them back with no trouble, and launched a giant shard of ice at them. They were frozen, and then one of the dragoness came up and shattered them.
"Thank you," Spyro said.
"Now's not the time," the dragon said as he looked back. He could see the dragons wearing gold armor running towards them.
"Okay. Let's get out of here," Spyro said as he ran past the blue dragon. Before the dragon left he covered the floor in ice, so the dragons would slip on it, and be slowed down.
Spyro reached the other two dragoness that were standing in the door way, and ran past them. They looked at the dragon and dragoness waiting on them to reach them. Doreen and Lana reached Layla and Kayla and ran through the door. Layla and Kayla then closed the door, and used their fire breath to seal the door shut.
Spyro was trying to catch his breath as the dragon walked up to him and said, "My name is Doreen, and this is my mate Lana," he said as he pointed to the dull red dragoness.
"Nice to meet you," Lana said as she looked at Spyro and Cynder.
"Nice to meet you as well. How do you know who I am?"
"We were once guards for this place, before Cynder freed us," Lana said as she pointed to the unconscious Cynder on Spyro's back.
"We were guards here as well," Layla said as she walked up.
"And may I ask your name?" Spyro said.
"Right. Sorry. My name is Layla and this is my twin sister Kayla," and with hearing her name Kayla walked up to stand beside her sister.
"Identical twins huh?" Spyro asked.
"Yes, but I hatched three minutes earlier, so I'm the oldest," Layla said.
Kayla just rolled her eyes at that statement, and Layla just smiled.
Suddenly they all heard a pounding on the doors. Doreen turned to Spyro and said, "Right. We need to get going. If we don't we could get caught, and then there would be no way to save Cynder.
"I agree," Spyro said as he stood up straight, "Now how do we get out of here?"
"There is a sewer entrance just a little further ahead. That's how we will escape," Shade said to Spyro.
"All right. Let's go then."
With that Shade ran ahead with Spyro behind her. Behind him was Layla, Kayla, and Lana. Behind the three girls was Doreen.
They ran for about ten minutes before Shade could see the opening to the sewers; however, before they reached it a shadow dragon wearing gold armor appeared in front of them.
"Out of the way," Spyro yelled out.
The dragon didn't move, as he got ready to attack them. Spyro was getting worried, since he still had Cynder on his back, but he looked back and didn't see Doreen, Lana, Layla, and Kayla anywhere. Spyro looked in front of him and the four dragons were in front attacking the shadow dragon. Spyro ran by them, and could see that the four were beating the shadow dragon.
They reached the entrance and Spyro turned to Shade and said, "This is too small for me, and I also have Cynder on my back. How am I suppose to get through here?"
"Don't you have space powers," and voice called out. Spyro heard that it was a female and called out, "Come out."
Ki walked out of the shadows and smiled at him. She then said, "Spyro. It's been a long time, since we have met."
Spyro looked over the dragoness and though long and hard about were he's seen her. She was pregnant, so he was thrown off if he had seen her before.
"My name is Ki. My mate is your son Yang," Ki said a little nervelessly. She didn't know how Spyro would take the news.
"Ki. Wait aren't you Inu's daughter?" Spyro asked.
"I am, but I have nothing to do with him anymore. I just want to be with my love Yang. Cynder said I could come with you."
"If Cynder already knows. Then I don't have any complaints. I will have a talk with you and Yang later; however, you are right. I do have space powers and I can make the opening a whole lot bigger for us.
Spyro closed his eyes as he started to concentrate on the opening. Suddenly the opening started to glow, and expanding before the others eyes. It took a few minutes, before the opening was big enough for all of them to fit through.
Spyro breathed a deep sigh as he opened his eyes, so he could see what he had done. Spyro was amazed to see how big the opening that he created was. It was way big enough for him to go through even with Cynder on his back.
"Hello up there," called a voice.
Spyro looked down and could see Elder standing at the bottom of the opening.
"Pass Cynder to me, and I'll take care of her," Elder said.
Spyro did as he was told and passed Cynder to Elder. Then he went through the opening with the other dragons behind him. Spyro looked back and could see more shadow dragons coming at him. He closed his eyes and targeted the opening with his magic. He then started to close it back to the way it was originally; however, he didn't get closed in time as one shadow dragoness slipped through the gap.
"So. This is the great Spyro?" the dragoness asked, "I don't know what Inu is afraid of, but if I take you down then I will be praised by him.
"Don't do this. You don't want to fight me," Spyro said to turn her from the course.
"Don't make me laugh. You know who you are talking to. I'm one of the generals in Inu's army, buy you should already know that from when you worked for Inu." She said with a laugh.
"Spyro!" Yang said as he ran towards his father. He got close and noticed Ki, but also the dragoness staring down his father.
Spyro let out a deep sigh and then said to the group, "Go. Take Cynder back to the temple. I'll be along shortly.
"No. We won't leave you," Shade said.
"NOW!" Spyro said as he glared at her, and Shade could see something in his eyes. It was like a fire for battle was burning in him, but she didn't want to say anything.
"Let's go," Elder said as he walked away from the dragoness and Spyro. The others followed him, as they all headed back towards the temple.
"Why not join us, and turn away from Inu's evil?' Spyro asked the dragoness.
"Why? I love working with Inu, and I won't give that up," She said as she got ready for battle.
Spyro just shook his head and sighed. He didn't want to fight her, but it looked like he didn't have a choice.
"Before we start. What is your name. You already know mine," Spyro said.
"It's Zerath, but I'm called Zer by the others. One of the three generals of Inu's army," She said with a prideful tone.
Spyro just looked at her and noticed that she wasn't a shadow dragon. Her scales were bright yellow and she had lime green eyes. She had about 4 inch horns that were straight on her head. Her wings were lemon yellow, and her underbelly was a soft white. The reason he couldn't see that was the shadow aura around her, and the evil that was coming from her. He knew that Inu was controlling her and she was fighting him against her will.
"Let's go," Zerath said as she charged at him. Spyro was surprised how fast she was, and just had time to react to a claw swipe coming at him. He back peddled and notice that she wasn't in front of him anymore. He didn't notice that she was beside him, as she lowered her head and hit Spyro dead center into his chest with the front of her horns. Spyro's breath was taking away as he was rolled over onto his back by her powerful attack.
Spyro looked to his side, and notice that she wasn't there anymore, but heard something above him. He looked up, and just saw her charge a lightning beam, as she shot it at him, Spyro was able to charge a rock shot and shot it. The beam hit the rock, and shattered it into pieces. Spyro used the dust from the rock shattering to roll back onto his feet using his wings to balance himself out.
"Not bad," Zerath said as she landed back on the ground in front of him.
"I don't want to fight you. I want you to join me on my fight against Inu," Spyro said.
"Help you fight my master. As if," Zerath said with a wicked grin. She then dashed at Spyro with lightning speed.
By this time Spyro had figured out that she was a electric user, so he was able to surround himself in a shield of stone. The lightning that Zerath shot at him just hit the stone, and nothing happened.
"You can't stay in there for long," Zerath said as she kept blasting it with lightning. She was trying to heat up the rock, so it would be easier to shatter. She didn't let Spyro know that she also knew water magic.
Spyro breathed deeply as he tried to think of a way to stop her without hurting her. He was paying attention to the stone on the outside, until he started feeling very hot; however, it was too late for him to react as the stone shattered around him leaving him exposed. He looked over at Zerath and noticed that she and some water around her. This surprised Spyro, since he thought she could only use lightning skills.
"You are mine now" Zerath said as she dashed at him.
Spyro just had enough time to look at her before he was hit dead center of his side. He was sent flying backwards from the hit, and as he flew he noticed something about her feet. They were covered with electricity, and then he got an idea.
Spyro hit the ground, and rolled back onto his feet. He then looked at Zerath and shot the ground below her with a blast of water.
"You missed," Zerath said as she laughed. She charged her feet again to dash at Spyro not thinking that Spyro had figured out how to fight her. As she charged the water directed the charge back at her. She got hit with twice the power that she was going to use, and was paralyzed for a few seconds. Spyro took this as a great chance to charge a huge fireball, and then shoot it at Zerath. She was hit dead center and was burned. Spyro then dashed at her and was able to hit her in the middle of her chest. She was sent flying backwards, as she feel to the ground unconscious.
The darkness around her floated into the air, and Spyro heard a voice come from it.
"Spyro. You defeated one of my generals; however, she is the weakest of them. There are still two more and they will be tougher than this weakling."
"INU! Why control people like this?" Spyro asked.
"Cause. Your death will avenge by father." Inu said laughing.
"No it won't. Your dad Malefor was evil, and tortured thousands of people. He was sealed for a reason.
"You are the evil one Spyro. Trapping my father, and leaving a kid all alone. I will never forgive you," and with saying that the darkness flew away.
Spyro just sighed and looked down at Zerath. He walked over to her and laid down beside her. Waiting on her to wake up.
A few hours passed and Spyro heard something, "Ugh.. Where am I?"
"How are you feeling," Spyro said to Zerath.
"Like I was hit by a thousand dragons," She said as she tried to stand up. She started to fall back to the ground, but Spyro caught her.
"Let's go back to the temple. I bet everyone would love to meet you," Spyro said.
"I would like that," Zerath said as she climbed onto Spyro's back. The both started walking back towards the temple.
It was about midnight before Spyro and Zerath arrived at the temple. Spyro knocked on the secret door, and Elder opened it. She saw Spyro and Zerath and fully opened the door. As he ushered them inside he looked at Spyro with a questioning look.
"I will tell you tomorrow. Right now I just want some sleep."
Elder nodded and smiled. He then closed the door behind Spyro and followed him to the main room. Zerath climbed off of Spyro and limped to the corner of the room, and laid down. She was fast asleep before Spyro knew it.
Spyro looked around and noticed Yang and Ki were asleep beside each other with Yang's paw her her belly. Spyro just smiled and remember how he was when Cynder was pregnant.
Spyro turned to Elder and said, "How is Cynder?"
"She will make a full recovery, but she will need time. The battle took a lot of her, and she needs rest.
"That's good," Spyro said as he yawned. He laid down at the front of the group and feel asleep. Elder laid beside him as he too feel asleep.
