Spyro had been feeling lighter since his last battle with the Darkness. He felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. The last month was a bit hard as he needed to fight to stimulate all his strength. He felt relieved of a lot of pressure. After he had fought last time he and Cynder haad drawn closer and were even able to combine forces enough to have them both have a time form. Spyro was however a bit concerned at the Darkness's power surge (roll credits) in the elemental combats.
The Darkness had revealed he had controlled the elements of the Skylands. This saw to it that Spyro's idea of the Darkness was thrown into question. Every time the Darkness attacked, each one had seemed like a harder challenge then before. Spyro had only won the last fight because Cynder had helped him with great personal risk to herself. Spyro wanted to be able to beat the Darkness without having anyone else to do it for him. His fights were intense. If he let his friends be killed, he would never forgive himself.
He fel small, as if the Darkness had only been toying with him because all this time the Darkness had the elemental powers equivalent to Spyro, and he had never used them before. It wasn't long before Cynder had a talk with Spyro. Spyro meant everything to her and she would be miserable if Spyro was too. She told him that he woud never see one of his friends killed because Spyro would always be able to fight until victory. Spyro felt a little bit better. After his talk, he felt a lot better. He felt at rest and calm.
When he went out to train, he felt very replenished. When he went to the dragon crystal for knowledge, he found of a material that could help him increase his attacks's effectiveness called Magistone. He looked it up on and found it was the same stone that composed Eon's amulets. He searched for a reliable scource but found there was none around there. He left his window open when he left and Flameslinger went into the room to ask Spyro something when he saw it.
He somehow knew he wanted that material to become stronger. He searched up on how to find it on the library and found a simple spell to find it. While he felt a little guilty about not showing it to Spyro, he felt he wanted to become powerful more. He used the spell to find it and just at that moment Spyro and his team saw Flame-slinger about to touch the Magistone. Spyro yelled with utmost urgengy in his commanding voice, "Stop Flameslinger, don't touch that Magistone!". It was too late.
Flameslinger touched the Magistone. Flameslinger started to glow as the Magic started to come into him. Spyro rushed over and touched the Magistone. Flameslinger fainted. Spyro used all his concentration into conducting the Magic within. Spyro felt immense pain as his body tried to cope with the massive addition of Magic. He perservered until all the magic had been siphoned from the Magistone and the Magistone fell silent. Spyro fell to all fours as the pain slowly went away. Cynder was beside him.
Flameslinger then hiccuped and they all levitated into the air until Flameslinger hiccuped again. Spyro looked grim as the face of Death. He looked at Flameslinger. "Very foolish, attempting to contain the almost limitless power of a Magistone. He should consider himself lucky. One or two more seconds and he would have exploded from the amount of Magic power given to him by the Magistone. Everyone knows that Magistone should be taken slowly." Spyro said grimly with every syllable darkening.
Spyro took Flameslinger to the infirmary. Eon was for once at a loss of information. Even Dark Spyro was left in the Dark. Spyro looked at everything he could find in the Dragon Crystal. He then found a solution. The same siphoning spell that the Dragon of Time used to siphon the teachings of Dragon Time into the Gem of Power could also be used to siphon magic. Spyro had an idea, however, it would also be extremely risky as it would require to have the Infinity Stones momentarily separated from his team.
His idea was to give the magic into the Stones to contain the magic that Flameslinger had ingested. He brought the team and Flameslinger to a flat surface of saced ground and carved the symbols into the ground and placed Flameslinger on the center symbol. He slowly used his magic to separate his team from the Stone. The Stones flew out and flew around Flameslinger. Everything was going well. Until Flameslinger hiccuped again and the Infinity Gauntlet reappeared. The Stones fell into their slots.
They ingested the magic that Flameslinger had until the thing Spyro didn't want to happen happened. The Darkness burst through the walls and used a magic spell to make the Infinity Gauntlet come to him. He grinned and lifted up his hand to snap. Spyro wasn't about to let that happen. He burst foward with all his strength. Right as the Darkness was about to snap, Spyro yanked it off his wrist and the Infinity Gauntlet clattered to the floor. For an eternal moment nobody moved. Then, it happened.
Spyro and the Darkness rushed for the Infinity Gauntlet. Spyro got there first and put it on. He snapped and the Darkness and the other bad guys were knocked back by a combined stone power pulse. Spyro did not snap after. The gauntlet was steaming on his claw. He was hesitant to use it for anything in the shape it was in. He did something unexpected, he smashed the gauntlet to the floor and the Stones popped out. Before the Darkness could interfere, he merged the stones back with his team.
The darkness knew he was beat. He called to retreat. Spyro was far from done. He launched into an attack. The Darkness then ordered his forces to stay and fight the battle. Spyro fought like he never had before. However, the Darkness's elemental abitities were stronger than before. Spyro could only hit the Darkness's scythe instead of the Darkness himself. Spyro then activated his Time Form. He then pounded the Darkness with shockwaves. The Darkness did not seem fatigued. He fought back.
Spyro was starting to get tired as he had already expended most of his energy on the ritual for siphoning the Stones. He desprately needed some more magic. Then he started to glow. The magic he had ingested to save Flameslinger was coming back. He brought forth his flames. They were different this time. They were a bright and violent purple. The magic and the Stone were supplying him with energy and magic to keep on firing at the Darkness. When the flames ended, the Darkness was standing.
Spyro could not understand how the Darkness had withstood the flames. "How!?" Spyro said with every word weak with weariness. The Darkness smiled. "All you need to know is that it is your time, TO DIE!!!!", the Darkness yelled with aggression in his tone as he let forth a gigantic flame. Spyro met this with his own flame. Spyro was weak from the energy he had expended on the ritual and he was knocked back into the wall. He was momentarily knocked unconscious. In his subconsciousness he thought to himself, "How could this happen to me? I thought I was the strongest being in the Skylands.".
A voice then answered, "You are.". It was slightly feminine. Then a dazzling beam of light appeared before his eyes. After it subsided, a spirit was standing there. Spyro could not describe her. Her face was that of a dragon's and a white cloak hid everythin else. Spyro asked, "Who are you?". The spirit smiled. "I am the spirit that made you the Chosen One Spyro. And I want you to know you are not at fault for losing this exchange. I was surprised you lasted as long as you did. You are my greatest host I ever possessed." she said.
Spyro could only say, "But why me? Surely there are more powerful dragons out there like Malefor?". The Spirit kept smiling. "I chose you because you have the purest heart anyone can have, only able to kill your mortal enemy, nobody else. I saw into the future and saw you helping your former enemy Dark Spyro. Then I knew you were the one." she said with every syllible giving waves of calm. Spyro smiled. "Don't get to cheesy, you might give Cynder a flout of jealousy, and I don't want that." Spyro said.
The Spirit laughed. A clear laugh of joy that would make the darkest souls relive themselves of all tensions. "And that is why I chose you. Your heart is of the purest ones. You should know, that the Darkness is about to kill you so once you wake up, roll to the side. This will give you enough time to get your stance and fire the Darkness away. What happens after is up to you. I have faith you will be my successor. Farewell Spyro. We shall meet again." The Spirit said as she dissapeared in a flash of bright light.
The Outside
The Darkness pulled his scythe upward. He swung it down as Cynder shouted for Spyro to wake up. At the last possible second, Spyro opened his eyes and analysed the situtation. First thing to do is to get out of the way of that Scythe. Easy enough. He rolled to the side. The Scythe became embedded in the ground and Spyro took his stance. The Darkness growled in frustration. "I was SO CLOSE!", he screamed as he pulled his Scythe out of the ground and faced Spyro, who had a smug grin on his face.
The darkness fired a beam and Spyro fired his. Cynder was crying with joy. Spyro pushed the Darkness's beam back. His own beam struck the Darkness and the Darkness flew backward. The Darkness knew he was beat. He called his forces to retreat and he fired a beam one last time. Spyro met him with his Sword to cut throghu the Beam. The Darkness used an Earthquake to fight against Spyro while Spyro heaved a Time Shuriken at the Darkness. The two attacks hit and the Darkness was blasted back.
Spyro stayed where he was as the Darkness's forces flew away. He turned to his team. He then told his team to come with him to the Master's Den. There he saw the Legendary and Dark Master there but no others. Spyro said he needed an urgent meeting with all the Masters. The Legendary and Dark Masters didn't question. The undertone to Spyro's voice indicated he was not in the mood for being asked questions."I need to tell you about something." Spyro said when all the Masters were there.
10 seconds later."The Spirit of the Chosen One spoke to you?", the Legendary Master asked incredeously. Spyro nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know how it happened but it was right after my beam was beaten by the Darkness. I don't know how the Spirit did it, but what I do know, is that the Spirit gave me more power and stamina to finish the fight and beat the Darkness. If I can figure out how to do that on may own, then I could possibly defeat the darkness for a long time.". He looked around at his seven teammates.
"I don't know how the Darkness got so powerful enough to momentarily beat me, but what I do know, is that I need to become stronger than I am now if I am going to beat the Darkness forever. That is all I have to say." Spyro said after looking around. The Masters and Spyro spoke for a couple minutes before going to bed. It had been a long night. They all needed a big rest. They finally succumed to sleep. Spyro fell asleep immediatley. He felt that he would win every battle he had. He would be right.
