Chapter 6
"Don't get comfortable" an ape strapped Cynder to a table, and tightened the straps further, "your new roommate has arrived" the ape called out to the darkness as he exited the room, then Cynder saw a pink paw step out into the light, "no, it can't be!"
Spyro's SuperCharger flew fast throughout the wind, he didn't bother stopping, he wouldn't, so it seemed surprising when he decided to stop for a Mabu at the bank. "Someone is in there robbing our bank" the Mabu informed him, "don't worry, I'll take care of it" Spyro assured the Mabu as he entered to see the commotion, and to his surprise, he saw...apes? "What, apes? Here?" Spyro confusion seemed to only rise today, ahh! It's the dragon! Quick, get the items to him" the ape instructed his comrade as he took the money and ran, "your leaving that to your friend? Well, I'll have a fun time making sure your put in Cloudcraker for your crimes" Spyro basically acted like he had this in the bag, and to tell you the truth, he did. It took little time for him to knock out the ape and figure out where he came from, he then noticed a strange badge on the ape, Spyro grabbed it with his claws to inspect it, "I'll take it back to the SuperCharger, it should be able to decipher what this badge represents" Spyro considered this as he returned to the SuperCharger. "Now buddie, do your magic..." Spyro had the SuperCharger's inner computer scan the badge and what Spyro saw next shocked him, he saw markings he could never forget. "Those symbols...only one ape has these markings on a badge, at least from my old world...Gaul".
"No, please! I can't take anymore" Cynder started coughing up blood as her torturer revealed herself, "but torturing you is soo much fun! Especially after you took him from me!" The torturer's claws ran down the side of Cynder's face, then she left a little cut on her left cheek, "I should've known your obsession with him would've driven you over the edge...Ember" Cynder struggled to get the last word out as Ember grabbed a small branch (those sticks can hurt if you whip them hard enough against your skin) and whipped Cynder with it. "No! He's mine, and no one else's!" Ember exclaimed as Cynder spit in front of her, this only further agitated Ember as she struck Cynder across the face, "thankfully, Gaul has given me all the time I want to play with you, Cynder, and I don't intend on letting up anytime soon..." Ember chuckled, "well, that's fine, I'm not giving in anytime soon" Cynder sputtered, trying to sound tough, as Ember smirked her way, "you sure about that? You've certainly seen better days" Ember replied as she reached for another torture device, just then the alarm sounded, and an ape entered the room, "what's going on?" Ember questioned, "he's here" was all the ape answered with, that was all Cynder needed, "Spyro, he's here".
