Chapter 5

"Guys, I'm kinda hungry" Spider-Man called out to the group from his 'borrowed' SuperCharger, "to be honest, I am too" Whirlwind agreed, even Sparx agreed. Spyro finally decided to let them take a quick food stop at a local fast food joint, "eh, it's not Taco Bell, but it works" Spidey shrugged, "what's a...Taco Bell?" Flashwing asked in confusion, "it's only one of the best fast food chains in my world, you should come some time" Spider-Man answered as they entered the fast food joint.

Cynder could only stare at Dark Spyro as he circled the cage, "tell me, Cynder...did ya miss me?" He smirked as he drew closer to her cage, "not a chance, I was actually glad to have you out of my life, I could finally focus on other things, but now..." Cynder sighed as Dark Spyro resumed his journey around the cage, "well, I'd like to say, it's going to be fun to return to your world and watch your mate watch everything he tried so hard to protect wither into oblivion" Dark Spyro chuckled as the figure returned, "ah, Dark Spyro, glad to see you've spent some time with our guest, but now I must run a procedure, step back if you will..." the figure instructed Dark Spyro as he held out his palm, "in order to siphon your energy to reopened my gateway, I'll need to browse your memories, enjoy it while you still have the will, Cynder" the figure clenched his fist as Cynder shrieked in pain.

"Ow, everything hurts" Spyro stood upward on an unknown island, "what is this place? Cynder!" Spyro rushed to the dragoness, and watched oddly as her black scales shifted to magenta, "that's...odd, wait? My voice is different" Spyro heard himself speak as Cynder awoke, "Cynder! Are you okay?" Spyro asked as Cynder sat upright, "yeah, but my head is pounding" Cynder grumbled as she felt her head, "and Spyro, is it just me, or do you look different?" Cynder asked, "and preferably more cute too" Cynder's thoughts buzzed in her mind as Spyro observed himself in a nearby puddle, "wait...ahh! What the! I look a lot different!" Spyro then helped Cynder onto her paws "he's so gentle, I wonder if I'll ever have the courage to tell him my feelings" Cynder sighed as Spyro tried to make some semblance of where they were, "hold on...are we on an island...in the sky!?" Spyro looked over the edge in shock, "WHAT!?" Spyro's scream probably could've been heard for a mile, "Spyro, calm down, maybe we should try to find someone...or a civilization of some sorts" Cynder suggested as Spyro regained his bearings, "yeah, your right" Spyro agreed as he decided to fly into the distance, "Spyro! Wait up!" Cynder cried out as she followed him into the clouds.

Cynder took a deep breath as she fell to the ground in pain, "ahh...that felt good, and I'm just getting started" the figure chuckled as he continued browsing through more of Cynder's memories.

"Ah, that was some good food" Spider-Man sighed in satisfaction, "alright, now we can be on our way" Flashwing told Spyro, except it seemed like Spyro didn't hear her, he only seemed focused on one thing: rescuing Cynder. Spider-Man powered up his SuperCharger and they were off once again.
