Chapter 4
Cynder arose to the dampness of her cage as she glanced around, "great, I'm still stuck in this putrid room" Cynder started to gag as she breathed in familiar scents. She was left alone, with no one to keep her company, it was the least he could've done. "Ah, Cynder, so glad to see you awake and well, we've many more things to discuss, like...what your going to do when I showcase your mate's death in front of your eyes" the mystery figure returned with a small orb in his palm, Cynder's eyes widened as soon as she caught on, and the figure forced her to look:
"Alright, we're all set to continue" Spyro explained as the group left the inn they occupied last night, "man, I will say, those beds were comfortable" Flashwing commented, "um...that "bed" was my chest, Flashwing" Spider-Man replied, clearly embarrassed, "oh..." at this, Flashwing started giggling. Suddenly, Spider-Man's spider-sense went off like a blaring alarm, "everyone, get out of the way!" Spidey pushed the group away from danger as an explosion rang throughout the plains, "thanks for the warning" Spyro wearily stood upward to view the attackers, wait? "That can't be right" Spyro was confused as he continued staring at the attackers, "The Doomlanders? But your in Cloudcracker prison" Spyro exclaimed as a voice rang throughout all the members, "they are not who they once were, they have now only one job...issuing your destruction!" Pepper Jcak tossed a burrito bomb at them as they dodged out of the way of the explosion, "whatever makes up those bombs...is not vegan" Spider-Man quipped as Pepper Jack tried to toss another bomb at them. Spider-Man spun a web-line onto the burrito bomb, and tossed it back towards the Doomlanders, "hey! Whose up for some Mexican food?" Spidey called towards them as the bomb exploded, causing the Doomlanders to fall back, "well...that wasn't so bad" Spider-Man sighed, but unfortunately for him, the Doomlanders wouldn't go down easy, when the group turned, they saw all the members attacking, "quick! Get to cover!" Spyro instructed as they found places to hide, whilst Spider-Man spun a web shield to temporarily defend himself from the onslaught of attacks. "We have to help get Spider-Man behind cover!" Flashwing announced, "exactly, which is why Sparx here is going to be a distraction" Spyro explained, "what, who? Distraction? Me?" Sparx seemingly broke out of some deep thoughts as Spyro explained what to do. "Hey uglies! Over here!" Sparx cried out to the Doomlanders as they were seemingly distracted by Sparx's arm flailing, using this as his chance, Spider-Man backflipped behind a boulder, "hey Spider-Man, how's your day been going?" Spyro asked as Spidey joined him, "I've had better" Spider-Man joked as he turned to see Sparx fleeing behind Spyro, "well...we need something to stop them, or this'll be going on for awhile" Spider-Man explained as Spyro nodded in agreement, "I've got an idea" Spyro whispered it in Spidey's ear, to wit, Spider-Man grew a small grin under his mask, "I like where your going with this". "This is gonna hurt you more than it hurts me!" Spider-Man warned the brainwashed Doomlanders as he detached his staff, and used the small rod as he tossed it and had it land firmly in the ground. Immediately surges of electricity started shocking the Doomlanders, "now, I'm all fired up!" Spyro announced his catchphrase as he added his fire to the mix. This proved to be too much for the Doomlanders...as they collapsed on the ground, unconscious, as Spider-Man and Spyro trotted up to them, they gave each other a high five.
"Argh! That wasn't supposed to happen!" The mystery figure growled as Cynder displayed a smirk on her face, "don't think for just a moment that this will stop me, in fact I've someone to keep you company, I'm sure you remember...Dark Spyro?" The figure introduced the black dragon as Cynder displayed an expression of pure shock, "now, I'll leave you two to have some...bonding time" the figure chuckled as he left Cynder in the room, alone...and with a nightmare resurrected.
