Spyro was feeling a little down. The final month of his rest was here, and soon, the war would return to the Skylnds. He was not happy about this. He had expected to have more fun. He was worried. The rumours of the battle that was upcoming were beginning to come true and he was beginning to believe that the next battle would be a final battle, but he was also concerned because rumours were also spreading that someone would die during the final battle. As for Dark Spyro, he was very torn.
He wanted to tell Spyro of what was going to come. But he was under orders to not speak a word about what was going to happen. He returned to his home. He saw the letter he had recieved from Stormbringer. He decided that if he was ever going to live with himself with Stormbringer being gone, he would read his letter. With careful hands, he tore the seal of ribbon and opened the letter. It was written on a long piece of parchment. Slowly, with a heavy heart, he read the letter. It said:
Dear Dark Spyro,
You were a great dragon. From the moment I saw you, I knew you would be my successor after I died. I may or may not be alive when you are reading this letter, but I want to put some things at rest before I go. For one, you have been my greatest advisor. I thought of you as a son to myself. You are a loyal dragon to the Skylands and that will never change.
Secondly, You shall henceforth inherit the title of Dragon of Time. You inherit the benifits and responsibilities of that title. My memory was full of memories that I would like to forget, and you have a clear one. You can contain the complexities of my own teachings without failure. You will inherit all of my belongings, (Except my progress in Crypt Robber, that is mine and will always be mine.).
Thirdly, you will be the dragon to carry on my memory. The heart within yourself is one of the purest ones I have seen in my 4000 years on this planet. I would possess no doubt that you will carry on my legacy and carry on my taechings of time.
From, Stormbringer
Dark Spyro started to cry, not of sadness, but of joy, for all the trust and likeness of Stormbringer. He was happy that Stormbringer would leave this world in knowing that his legacy would perservere through Dark Spyro. His mood took a definite upturn. This was noted by Spyro and Spyro was happy that his twin was now in a better mood. He needed it. Spyro had spent more time around Cynder as he wanted to make the most out of his final month. He was both excited and worried about the final battle.
If he was to seal the Darkness away, that would be great, however, if one of his friends got injured because of him, he could never forgive himself. He decided on focusing on the good part on how he would seal away the Darkness away. He decided to talk with the Spirit. He went to sleep and he found himself on the Academy training course, a normal dream. He called out, "Spirit, I know you are there! Show yourself.". The Spirit materialized in front of him. She smiled her usual smile.
"Are you angry, or eager to see me?" She asked. Spyro rolled his eyes. "Well, either I am mixed, or somewhere inbetween. I want to know if it is true that the next battle I fight will be the one to seal the Darkness away." he said. The Spirit's smile almost wavered. "Well, in order to tell you, you will have to make a choice. To either lose the battle, or let one of your friends die and win the battle." shesaid slowly. Spyro was shocked. "What!?? Why does someone have to die in order for us to win the battle? Can't there be a way for all of my friends to live, and the Darkness to be defeated?" he said.
The Spirit's smile was gone now, and Spyro saw there was a bad side to the Spirit. He saw a version of the Spirit that he had never seen before. "Unfortunately, there is no possible way for the ending you describe. You must not interfere with certain plans. If you do, than many more than one may die as a result." she said grimly. "I must leave you. But one thing I must clarify. If you think Cynder will be the one to die, than you are incorrect. She will be fine. This is all I am allowed to tell you by the ancient laws, Goodbye Spyro.".
She finished and Spyro saw a flash of light as he woke up the next day. Spyro was genuily relieved that Cynder would not die in the following battle, but he was still uneasy as he walked into breakfast that morning. If he allowed one of his teammates to be killed or injured, he didn't know if he could live with the guilt. He wanted to win the battle and help his friends survive. But, as the Spirit had said, the possibility of the future that Spyro wanted was nil. He was not happy with this result.
He however knew that some things must not be prevented, and death would catch up to them all eventually. Even the lord of the underworld could not escape death if he tried. He went along his day as normal would. He wanted to have a normal time until the final battle. He even decided to use none of his elements that day. He had a nice time. However, the day after was when the Darkness would break free of his imprisonment. The day after, it did indeed happen.
In the Underworld, the Darkness was not happy. He had just gotten out of the pool of Chaos. He thought of Kaos and pulled himself up out of the pit. He was just able to muster enough energy to get out of the underworld and into a portal to get himself back to his castle. When he got there, the others rushed to his assistance. The Darkness immediately ordered a full scale build up of his largest force yet He wanted to finally beat Spyro for all the trouble and pain he had caused him.
As for Spyro, once he had recieved inform ation that the Darkness had returned, he started to make Dragon Armor that would protect them from any harm. Heworked throught the night to enhance the wielder's abilities. Spyro also sharpened and extended his sword. He wanted a superior reach when he would inevitably have to face the Darkness in the final fight. After all of the Dragon Armor was completed, he stowed it away as he wanted to ensure its safety. If the Darkness was to get hold of it's tech, than Spyro could possibly be overwhelmed. He also fashioned weapons for the entire Skylander force.
Using his insane abilities, He was able to make a volcanic island and an ice Island to come near each other without destroying the other. He used the Volcano as a forge and the Ice Island as a cooling System. After all that was done, he went to sleep. He tossed and turned in his sleep, thinking about the decision he would hsve to make. If it meant saving the Skylands or saving his friends, could he really chose the world. That was one of his flaws, being unable to step away and let other people get harmed when he could save them.
He trained the following day. The Darkness overlooked his army, The Dark Forces were rising. The Hell Forces were promised to help him by the Devil, and he still had the Devil's power. He would use that to his full advantage tommorow, when chaos would unfold. He made sure his Scythe would be of perfect accuracy when he faced off against the Power of Spyro. The battle was on everybody's minds. Both Good and Bad Forces had absolutely no idea what would happen in the final battle and its results.
The tension between the two forces was higher than it was during the peak of the first Great War. Spyro wanted to rest easy before the battle tomorrow. The Darkness looked at his ships and ordered the full invasion of the Skylanders Academy. In the morning, the fleet turned up at the Skylander Academy grounds. Spyro woke up and ordered everyone to suit up. Loaded up with weapons of all kinds, Spyro looked around at his friends, wondered who would or would not die, and jumped into the battle.
