Spyro slowly started to open his eyes, pain pounding in his head. Nausea quickly took over as when his eyes were half open, he saw the world around him spinning before him. He tried to stand, only for him to fall over shortly afterwards. Faintly he could hear the laughter of a familiar voice. Opening his eyes once more, he stood up again this time successful. Looking around he found himself in a cage, similar to the one he was in when the skavangers captured him. The next thing he noticed was that Ripto along with a large Rynoc wearing roman like armor, standing just outside his cage.
"The Dragons you requested my league," spoke the brute Rhynoc.
"Well done General Grendor, you've been most useful," answered Ripto.
The Rhynoc known as Grendor bowed his head once before leaving. Ripto suddenly noticed that Spyro was awake. With a smirk, he turned around and kneeled down to get eye level with Spyro.
"Did you miss me?" Ripto asked. Spyro only growled in response, baring his sharp teeth to him. "I'll take that as a yes,"
"What do you want from us, and were is Ember?" Spyro questioned.
The two heard a loud scream nearby. They turn their heads to see several Rhynocs holding Ember struggle to try and get her in her cage.
"Let me go, you damn dirty creatures!" screamed Ember as she struggled to break free.
"You let her go this instant Ripto or I'll…" said Spryo with anger in this voice before Ripto interrupted him.
"You'll what?" Ripto answered.
In her desperate attempt to break free. Ember clawed one Rhynoc in the face, tearing one of his eyes in the process. The Rhynoc roared in pain as he is forced to let Ember go.
"SPYRO! Ember yells as she tries to make a mad dash for him. Only to be pounced to the ground by the same group of Rhynocs.
"YOU BITCH!" roared the Rhynoc with the missing eye.
Spyro instantly tried to roast Ripto alive, by shooting a fire ball, only for a puff of smoke to emit out of his throat. Ripto only laughed at his futile attempts.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Ripto said as he looked at his scepter.
It was then that Spyro the ground beneath him had this eerie dark purple glow to it. He could almost feel the dark crystals embedded into the flooring sucking away at his elemental powers.
"I'm pretty sure your familiar with those, are you not?"
Spyro sighed in defeat. He knew that there was no way out at that given moment. All he could do is find out why they were there in the first place. "So what do you want from us?" he said with venom in his voice.
Ripto only smirked. In the meantime the Rhynocs continued struggling getting Ember in her cage. At which Ripto turns to look at them.
"Is it so hard to get a female dragoness in a cage?"
Ember clawed, kicked, and scratched at the Rhynocs as they struggled some more to place her inside a small cage similar to Spyros. One of the three Rhynocs that were carrying her grew tired of her antics, and punched her in the head. Ember was stunned by that attack just long enough for them to shoved her into her prison cell.
"Now did that had to be such a bitch to you dumb shits?' Ripto asked.
"The FUCKING BITCH took my eye!" yelled the Rhynoc with one.
"Yes which was your own damn fault," Ripto answered calmly.
"BULLSHIT! I Demand…
"You demand nothing from me, now shut the fuck up and go get me what I asked for earlier,"
The Rhynoc's remained silent in fear before leaving the room.
"Now that we have a moment with us just us three let's talk.
Ripto walked over to Ember as she slowly got up rubbing her head.
"We meet again your royal highness,"
Ember didn't say anything back to him, but instead tried to bit his head off only for her horns to get stuck in the bars, preventing her from reaching him.
"I would strongly recommend that you save your strength, you're going to need it more than Spyro here will. Because my dear lady, you won't be getting any special treatment,"
"And what do you have planned for use?!" Ember snarled.
"I think I'll let you see for yourselves, tomorrow morning, until then, try to have a good night sleep,"
Ripto walked out the area. The two dragons heard him shit the door behind him, leaving them alone in their cages.
"Ember are you alright?" Spyro called from his cell.
"I'm fine are you ok Spyro?" Ember called from her cell.
"You don't need to worry about me," Spyro called back. "Do you see anything that might help us get out of here?" Ember glanced around the area she was at, but there was nothing that she could see that might possible be useful. Ember shook her head in response. Spyro began to think to himself trying to figure a way out. He grabbed the bars with both of his front paws and tried to push them apart, only for him to just wait his energy. He quickly gave up on that.
Just then a group of Rhynocs came in carrying with them two red chains. It looked similar to the ones that Malefor put on Spyro and Cynder, only these ones were red and had a cobra heads on top.
"What are those things?" Ember asked.
"Don't let them put it on your necks!" Spyro yelled to her.
The Rhynocs quickly grabbed Ember through the bars and prepared to place the chain around her neck. Immediately Ember began kicking, clawing, and biting any Rhynoc holding her.
"HOLD THE BITCH DOWN DAMN IT!" screamed the one eyed Rhynoc as they all struggled to get the chain on Ember. The closer they got to placing the chain on her the more of a fight she put it to make them struggle.
As they were doing that, more heavily armed Rhynocs came over to Spyro to place his on. Several of them surrounded Spyro's cage, and acting quickly, each one of them put their arms through the cage bars and grabbed a different part of Spyro before forcing him down to the ground. Spyro struggled to break free from their grasp, but there hold on him was too great.
Just as the Rhynocs finished placing the chain around Ember's neck, Ember saw what they were doing to Spyro and acted quickly. Once the Rhynocs laid off her, she shoved them aside and sprung out the cell door before they could catch her. Ember came running out to save Spyro, however just as she did, the Rhynocs finished placing Spyro's chain on, and as soon as they did, the two dragons felt immense pain surge through their bodies. Ember fell to the ground screaming as Spyro roared in pain. The one eye rhynoc merely smirked as he saw this.
"Oh how I'm going to enjoy what the master has installed for you two," he merely said.
The Rhynoc's quickly formed around the dragons as they got up. Spyro recognized that they were trying to take them somewhere and they were making sure that they didn't escape. Ember on the other hand didn't realize this, so she immediately attacked one of the Rhynocs. She managed to claw at one of them before she was quickly subdued by three others. They forcefully placed her back into position before pushing them signaling for them to move.
They began to walk down a few hallways, until they reached a large red door.
"Enjoy the blood bath," said the one eyed Rhynoc as he shoved the two out of the red door and into the arena.
The arena was ginormous; it was a large circular stone like arena with blue circles at the far end. Surrounding the arena was a small molt of lava. Surrounding the whole area were hundreds if not thousands of spectator Rhynocs all cheering wildly for upcoming blood bath. At the far north at the center was a large private throne section. Sitting there was Ripto holding a chalice of wine, Crush and Gulp stand on each side.
"Welcome!" Ripto announced to all the viewing Rhynocs who cheered wildly. "What a glorious day this is! Ripto looked at all his viewing spectators. "The rules are quite simple. Last man standing lives, everyone else dies!"
Spyro looked at Ember and noticed her shaking and confused.
"Don't worry I'm here, just stay close to me and I'll get you through this," Spyro said reassuring Ember.
About that time a few gates opened and a few creatures Spyro wasn't familiar with appeared. They were toad like goblin creatures which the only thing Spyro could think to identify them being "Gnorcs." These particular Gnorcs wore light armor and carried basic weapons.
Spyro and Ember stayed close to each other as they got in their fighting stance. The first few Gnorcs jumped up in the air towards Spyro and Ember. The two dragons separated to dodge the attacks. Spyro tackled the first gnorcs in his way before jump flipping off him and side kicking another gnorc in the face. Upon landing, Spyro turned to Ember.
From the looks of it, Ember was having a little difficult time trying to avoid some of the Gnorcs. Sure she clawed and bit a few of them that was able to get close to her. She was mainly trying to avoid them. One Gnorc kicked Ember hard enough to send her a few feet. Immediately for being too far, their red chains activated and sent a shock of intense pain that made the two dragons fall to their knees. Spyro ignored the pain and quickly rushed over to Ember as quick as he could. Dodging any of the attacks that come his way. Ember in the meantime struggled as well but she too ran to Spyro while avoiding as many of the gnorcs as she could. When Spyro and Ember got close, Spyro thought fast and side steps to tackle a two gnorcs behind her and causing Ember to accidently tackle a gnorc behind Spyro. Ember was shocked at how powerful she can be but immediately dodged a strike from another gnorc and bit his arm hard enough to make him drop his weapon. Meanwhile Spyro clawed his way through two more gnorcs before knocking the last two gnorcs up in the air where he proceeds to unleash fast strikes on both of them before back air flip kicking them both on the ground hard.
With all the gnorcs beaten, Spyro turns to Ember as she spits the blood she got from biting the gnorc's arm out of her mouth.
"You ok?" Spyro asked in concern.
"That was disgusting, but I'm alright."
"Well done you two," the two heard Ripto applaud them from above. They turn to look at him as the crowed cheers wildly.
"I have to say well done in deed," Ripto takes a sip of wine as Spyro and Ember look at him with hate.
"Kill them," Ripto merely said.
This took both Spyro and Ember by surprise.
"Kill them all," Ripto continued a little more serious.
Spyro just ignored him while Ember was a little shaken. With a sigh, Ripto merely snapped his fingers and the red chains activate and cause tremendous pain to both of the young dragons.
"Must I repeat myself again?" Ripto asked as the red chains continued to torture Spyro and Ember.
"What do you want now?" groaned Spyro as the pain slowly went away.
"For the last time, I want you to kill them," Ripto said impatiently. But Spyro didn't move nor did he say anything. "Well what are you waiting for," Ripto yelled fuming with rage.
"I won't kill these creatures just for your amusement," Spyro said in spite.
"Fine then you leave me no choice then." Ripto then snapped his fingers again, and pain and agony coursed through Spyro and Ember. What felt like hours to them were only mere minuets of pure pain for them to indoor. Spyro listened as Ember screeched in pain, as he himself tried to stay as quiet as possible as so that Ripto wouldn't get as much satisfaction from seeing him in such a way.
Eventually the pain stopped, and both dragons slumped to the ground breathing heavily. "Now kill them, this is your last warning," Ripto threatened. Spyro once again didn't say anything but did as he was told. He walked over to one of the Gnorcs and killed it, cutting open its throat and letting its blood spray across the ground. Then he went to another and did the same thing, and then another and another. Ember couldn't bear to watch this, and closed her eyes.
Once Spyro killed the last one, laughter reputed from Ripto's mouth. "Now wasn't that easy?" asked Ripto sarcastically.
Once Spyro killed the last one, laughter reputed from Ripto's mouth. "Now wasn't that easy?" asked Ripto sarcastically.
Spyro merely spat blood at the direction towards Ripto. The Rhynoc roared cheerfully at the sight of the bloodshed.
"Are you ready for more?" Ripto called out to his cheering spectators.
"In that case, on with the next fight!"
The gate from the far end opened. Spyro and Ember stood ready in defense. The crowd went quiet waiting for the next opponent. The sounds of blades screeching echoed across the arena as the new opponent revealed itself from the shadows and stepped into the area. It was a scarecrow like creature as big as an adult dragon with several blades on its arms, tiny knifes on its legs and a giant blade in its back.
It chuckled hysterically before spinning on the ground towards the two dragons with its blades bared. Spyro and Ember quickly take action by taking flight in the air to avoid the attack. However suddenly the Scarecrow flip right back to its feet and throws one of its blades at Spyro. It scratches Spyro's right eye, causing Spyro to yell in pain as he grabs his face and falls to the ground.
"SPYRO!" Ember screamed in worry.
The scarecrow's blade boomerangs back to it as it starts laughing hysterically while clapping it's blades together. Ember quickly flew to Spyro as he slowly stood up still holding his right eye.
"How bad is it?" Ember asked.
Spyro let's go of his right eye, revealing a small slash vertically over his right eye.
"I'm think I'm…Ember!"
Spyro shoved Ember aside to knock her out of the way of the scarecrow's attack. Spyro dodged the same attack and began unleashing a series and slashes with his claws which seem to little damage or have little effect. The scarecrow tries to slash Spyro back which Spyro front flipped over the first strike, back flipped over the second one, and rolled under the third one. When he recovered, he groaned when he felt his left arm got cut. He looked back at the scarecrow who rubbed its bloody blades together and prepares for another strike.
However, Ember attacked the scarecrow from behind, knocking it off balance a little. The scarecrow turned to Ember who stood at the ready, growling at the scarecrow creature. Before the scarecrow creature could do anything, Spyro attacked the scarecrow from behind, making it turn towards Spyro.
Back and forth Spyro and Ember took turns attacking the scarecrow when it turns its attention away from one to another. After a few times of this, the scarecrow pulls one on them and twirls around really fast to slash both Spyro and Ember the moment they tried pouncing at it at once. Both Spyro and Ember were slashed across their chests.
To Spyro it felt like another injury, but to Ember it made her yell because she's never been hurt like that before. Never the less she got back up and readied herself again, the same as Spyro. The Scarecrow looked at both of them before throwing two blades towards Spyro and Ember, one for each. Spyro and Ember rolled out of the way before the scarecrow suddenly started spinning on the ground after Ember. Ember again moved out of the way from the scarecrow as it spun towards her and flipped itself back up to its feet.
From there it made a mad dash to try and slash Ember. Ember again tried the best she could to avoided the slashes only this time, each time she got an opening, she slashed at the scarecrow. Again this did little to any damage. Spyro rushed over to the scarecrow and head-butts it from behind. This caused the scarecrow to fall to the ground. It hopped back on its feet and turned to Spyro. Spyro popped his neck and stood at the ready. The scarecrow twirled towards Spyro on one knifed foot with its blades stretched out wide. Spyro took flight and dodged each of its twirling attacks before the scarecrow stopped after getting somewhat dizzy from spinning too much.
Spyro took the opportunity and tackled the scarecrow to the ground, from there, Spyro tried biting and clawing through its thick burlap sack body with his jaws and claws. The scarecrow kicked Spyro off him which cut's Spyro stomach a little. Just as soon as the scarecrow got back up, Ember jumped on the scarecrow from behind and starts trying to tear through its neck with her jaws and claws. The scarecrow hollered and desperately tries to grab Ember but has trouble. Ember continued to dig her claws and teeth through its neck, not caring how bad it was hurting them.
Eventually the scarecrow became enraged and slams its back on the ground with Ember first. The large blade on its back cuts one of Ember's legs a little. When the scarecrow hopped back to its feet it, Spyro attacked it from its side and continues dodging its slashes. All the meanwhile Ember carefully got up, limping a little but still good enough to walk. Growling, Ember flew towards it's legs and knocks the Scarecrow off balance again.
However this time, the scarecrow grabs Ember by her tail while cutting it with its blades. It throws Ember right on Spyro and got back up. The two dragons slowly got back up and ready again as the scarecrow walked towards them. S
pyro and Ember look at each other and nodded befer Ember flew to the right. The scarecrow tured towards her and started throwing it's blades at her which she dodges. The moment half of its blades are gone, Spyro grabbed onto to its right arm and snaps it in two to make it stab itself.
The scarecrow roared in pain and tries to shake Spyro off who latched on tightly. When its blades boomerang back towards it. Spyro quickly let's go and shoves the scarecrow forwards to make the flying blades stab it. However much to both Spyro and Ember's surprise, the scarecrow merely pulls it's bladed broken arm out of its hurt stomach, snap it's arm back in place and pulls it's blades out of it.
Now desperate, Ember flew towards the scarecrow from behind and as hard as she could, head-butts it at its back, horns first. This took the scarecrow by surprise but it still slapped Ember back and turns towards her. It laughs hysterically before readying for another attack. However suddenly, Spyro bursts through the scarecrows stomach and lands right next to Ember. The scarecrow creature's blood all over him and squirting all over Ember. The scarecrow was shocked beyond believe. Slowly it looks at the bloody large hole through its stomach before collapsing on the ground, finally dead. The crowed cheers wildly as both Spyro and Ember were breathing heavily from their injuries and exhaustion.
"Outstanding, such blood such violence!" Ripto clapped for them. Ember walked over to Spyro as he held his cut eye a little.
"Let me take a look,"
Spyro nodded and removed his paw to show Ember the small soon to be scar wound vertically over his right eye. He opens his right eye to reveal it's not damaged or hurt. Before she could say anything another gate opens.
"And now for the main event, so far the purple dragon and the dragon princess have proven themselves well on their first two fights, but let's see how they will fair in this round," replied Ripto before taking a sip of wine. A large creature the size of a dragon adult walked out. It had the front body and head of a lion with the hindquarters of a goat, a long reptilian tail and scales of a serpent, it also has talons as of a hawk does as its two front legs. The creature had two large horns on its head and razor sharp teeth to tear through flesh.
"That's a chimera," said Ember.
"A what?" Spyro asked.
"It's a creature I read about in my studies, I thought they weren't real," she answered fearfully.
The Chimera creature growled and suddenly made a mad dash for Spyro and Ember. The two Dragons quickly got in the defense. It tried to strike both of them. Ember hopped out of the way, while Spyro dodged and tackled the beast. The Chimera simply slapped Spyro aside and slashed his chest with his claws. Spyro cringed heavily but recovered and slashed the chimer back on its arm.
The Chimera roared in anger and rammed Spyro away from him. Before it could continue, Ember threw a rock to grab its attention. The Chimera hissed and charged towards Ember. Once close enough, Ember quickly took flight to dodge its attack and slaps her tail in its face. She stayed in flight as she waited for the Chimera's next move. The Chimera became enraged.
Ember tried using her fire but only to be stopped because of the dark crystal presence all around them. Looking around Ember took notice of the dark crystals around the stadium.
Cursing quietly to herself, she flew up a little to try and dodge the next strike from the Chimera. The Chimera however quickly spun around, hopped in the air and slashed Ember's back. Ember let out a scream as she fell to the ground and cringed, her badly cut back. The Chimera readied itself to strike Ember but only to be stopped by Spyro who leapt onto its back and bit hard into its neck.
The Chimera quickly threw Spyro off it. Spyro landed on his feet and stood ready. The Chimera positioned itself and the two began their attacks on each other. Spyro dodged the first few slashes from its claws while the Chimera blocked Spyro's own attacks. It smacked Spyro back to the ground and drooled. Spyro quickly got up and rammed into the chimera's stomach, knocking it off balance. The chimera quickly got up and started slashing towards Spyro with its claws which Spyro proceeded to block with his strong horns.
Spyro soon countered attack with a front flip tail slam to it upper and head followed by a powerful rising uppercut to its lower jaw. This hurt the Chimera but it quickly recovered. It grabbed and bit down hard on Spyro's right shoulder. Spyro roared in pain as his blood poured from the Chimera's jaws as it continued to bite down hard.
Meanwhile Ember slowly got up, having a hard time moving now thanks to the bad cut on her back. She saw Spyro in trouble and growled in anger. Thinking quickly, she grabbed one of the shields that belonged to one of the dead Grnocs with her mouth and tossed it at the Chimera. It hit the Chimera in the head, forcing it to let go of Spyro.
Before it could look at Ember, Spyro bit hard into its shoulder while slashing at its face with his claws. The Chimera threw Spyro off it and made a ferocious dash to Ember. Ember tried to move away but still had trouble because of the wound on her back. The Chimera soon tackled Ember to the ground and tried to go for her throat as Ember desperately uses her front paws to keep it from biting her. The Chimera soon bit ones of her paws deep, making Ember scream again in pain.
Spyro quickly got up and saw this and becomes enraged. Back with Ember, she tried desperately to hold her positions because it was either her paw or her throat. However she looked to her side to see a gnorc's knife. She desperately tries to reach for it with her mouth as the Chimera continues to bite hard into her paw. After much struggle,
Ember grabbed the knife with her mouth and stabs it through the Chimer's elbow. The Chimera spat Ember's paw out and roared in pain. It yanked the knife out of its elbow and threw it aside, just in time for Spyro to catch it with his jaws while in the air and slash the Chimera's back. The Chimera roared in pain again and turned to Spyro. Ember took the opportunity to crawl away as the Chimera stared Spyro down. Spyro stayed in flight as he tightly held the handle of the knife hard with his teeth. The two dashed towards each and the Chimera tries to slash Spyro. It succeeded in knocking Spyro out of the air, but Spyro quickly began slashing at its legs with the knife, forcing the Chimera to fall to the ground.
Spyro prepared to strike again, but the Chimera desperately tackled Spyro to the ground and tried to tear through is jugular. Before it could, the Chimera stopped when Ember stabbed another gnorc knife through its side. The Chimera roared in pain before falling over on its side. With the Chimera beaten, Spyro pushed it off him as Ember walked up and helped Spyro up. Spyro took notice of her serious injury on her paw and back and began to worry.
"Are you ok?" Spyro asked concerned. The crowd cheered wildly from the fight they just witnessed.
"No but I can manage, don't worry," Ember answered in pain before turning her attention to the dead chimera.
"Well," the two heard Ripto call from above.
The two turn to look Ripto as he raises an eye brow in amusement.
"I didn't think you had it in you Ms. Ember. I thought Spyro was the only one who knew how to fight, but I guess you at least know to handle yourself a little,"
Ember did not respond as she was too traumatized about killing another creature for the first time in her life.
"Well done," replied Ripto as he clapped at the performance, in a taunting manner.
Taking notice of Ember's comatose like state, Spyro placed a paw on her shoulder and asked "You sure you're ok Ember?" But again Ember didn't respond as the sudden realization of what she had done came to her. Her body began to shake, and her legs buckled beneath her. Tears began to drip down from her eyes as she cried in misery, cursing herself for doing such an act.
Ripto raised a brow at the site. "I have to say that I didn't expect this to turn into such a sob fest. Guards take them back to their cells," Ripto ordered.
A small group of guards then came marching out the gates and towards the two dragons. Just as they reach them, Spyro leaps towards them doing his best to claw and bite them, while also keeping them away from Ember who was still paralyzed from what she had just done. Spyro managed to wound some of them, but just then Ripto snapped his fingers and the red chain around Spyro and Ember activated, and a shocking pain pulsated through their bodies, making them scream in pain before going limp on the floor in exhaustion. Both Spyro and Ember were too tired from all the fighting and pain they endured to even bother fighting back as they were carried off back to their separate cells.
Hours passed before Spyro woke up again. He groaned as he slowly rose up from the cold hard metal ground that was part of his confinement. As he glanced around the room, all he saw was gray smog everywhere, his vision cloudy from his fights. He blinked the cloudiness away, and saw Ember sitting up in her cell and stared blankly into the ground. Her once shining blue eyes replaced with dark hopeless blue ones.
"Hey Ember you alright?" Spyro called from his cage
Ember did not respond, she only sat there emotionless starring at the ground, mainly at the Chimera's blood still on her.
"Ember?!" Spyro asked concered for the pink dragon across the room from him
Ember jumped at hearing Spyro's voice calling her. Carefully she look towards Spyro, shaking just a little.
"Ember, what's wrong?"
"I…I…" Ember tried answering, struggling very hard to say just one word.
"Just breath Ember, breath,"
Ember tried breathing but has a bit of a hard time. Before she knew it, she puked a little on the ground.
"Ember?" Spyro asked even more concern right now. Ember did seem to calm down a little, though her her heavy breaths and shaking turned into sniffling and tears.
"Spyro…I, I," Ember replied through heavy sobs.
"Ember its ok," Spyro tried to reassure the devastated dragoness.
"How do you do it?" Ember asked softly, barely audible to Spyro's ears.
"Do what? Ember please tell me what's wrong?" Spyro asked in deep concern.
"How can you kill and still go on like you do?" Ember yelled tears now fully streaming down her face.
Spyro did not respond he was silent for a long moment. He honestly didn't know what to say or how to answer Ember. Seeing and listeing to her sob sadly only made Spyro that more sad for her. He may not know how to answer her question, but she shouldn't have been in at that situation. No one should ever have to go through that.
"Ember…" Spyro began to softly speak.
Ember slowly looked towards Spyro, fresh tears still streaming down her face.
"I honestly don't know how to answer that, I've never thought about it until now. Most of the time I wasn't given a choice, it was either them or me or my family or friends,"
"I just don't know what to do," Ember said, a mixture of sadness and confusing clear on her face.
"Ember look at me," Spyro said calmly.
Ember did as she was told and looked at Spyro.
"I don't know how, I don't when, but I swear I'm going to get us out of here. But in the mean time I need you to stay calm. I know what you experience was horrible and no one should ever go through with that. But if we're going to get through this, we need keep calm. It may take us a while to get out of here and we may experience even worse stuff. But I won't let you suffer through it alone. I'll be with you every step of the way and I'll do everything I can to make sure you won't go through with what happened today much, do you understand Ember?"
The tears in Ember's eyes slowly began to disappear as she started to wipe her eyes. She gave one final sniffle before nodding her head.
"Alright there you go, now we need to figure out how to treat our wounds, do you see anything in your cell that could at least help?" Spyro asked.
Ember looked round the area near her, but like before didn't find anything. Turning back to him she shook her head.
"Damn, there's got to be something in our cells,"
Just then, the doors at the end of the hallway burst open and out came two Rhynocs each carrying a medical box. One of them and handed it to Ember while the other one walked up to Spyro and decided to have some fun with him. He held it out to Spyro, and has he reached for it, the Rhynoc pulled it away from him. He laughed as he watched Spyro desperately reach for the container. The other Rhynoc noticed this and walked over to his buddy and punched him in the head.
"Stop fooling around, Master wants them in the better conditions. Now give him the box," roared the Rhynoc.
The other Rhynoc grumbled to himself before finally handing Spyro the container. Quickly opening it, Spyro found a single small red gem inside.
"Why am I not surprise that Ripto would only give us one small red gem," Spyro replied as he took the small gem and crushed it into pieces.
It only served to heal only a little of his injuries but at least it stopped the bleeding. Spyro looked back at Ember as she crushed here's. For some rason, her gem was smaller than Spyro's which her injuries heal less than his. Angered by this, Spyro rushed over to his cell door and yelled at the leaving Rhynocs.
"Hey how come Ember doesn't get as much treatment as mine?! Spyro practically roared at them.
"Because the master's deems your worth over her's. You should be grateful he even allows this asshole!" yelled one of the rhynocs.
The Rhynocs leave the area before Spyro could even finish. Leaving Spyro becoming enraged by what he just heard.
"It's alright Spyro I will be fine," reinsured Ember.
Spyro simply slumped onto the ground, trying to calm down.
"It's not fair, you've never been in these kind of fights before and you got badly hurt. Yet they're treating me over you, that's bullshit! THAT"S BULLSHIT! Spyro yelled in rage.
"Now who is the one who need to calm down," said Ember sarcastically trying to cheer Spyro up.
"But Ember look at you, they stopped the bleeding but your still hurt more than me," Spyro said sadly.
"Well there isn't anything we can do about it now. All we can do is wait and see what happens next," Ember said glumly.
Spyro didn't respond, he simply slumped down on the ground and tried to rest.
"Hey…" Ember called out to Spyro.
Spyro carefully looked towards Ember as she slumped down to get some rest herself.
"I faith in you, I know we'll get out somehow," Ember tried to reassure Spyro.
Spyro gladly nodded.
"I promise, we're going to get out of here,"
