Link: *looks in all directions.* Thanks man... thanks for making Samus drop dead gorgeous
Samus looks over at link and he drops to the floor with a nose bleed just from looking at Samus.
me: heh heh... never thought that I'd see that result from someone... let's see... Link's life is now at... five hearts left... ok Samus quit doing that I don't want to end up using a fairy to revive him. Even though this is rather funny to see him pass out from looking at you.
Samus: it is isn't it. One question though... why are you not affected?
Me: well uh... that is a difficult... *An ethereal silver dragoness flys down out of nowhere and curls around me with a slight purr and rests her head on my shoulder*... this is why i'm not affected... this is Lana... my lovely dragoness love *smiles lovingly at the dragoness and nuzzles her face.
Samus: oh... well that answers that.
Unknow being: yeah yeah this guy does not own anything Metroid, Zelda, or Spyro related...
"So what has happened with Samus?" Terrador asked.
"She's recovered well. From the way things seem she is better than before. Although something did happen." Ridley said after pressing a few buttons on a control station computer for the Shield Barrier.
Terrador was silent for a moment the asked about what had happened.
"Her appearance has changed. She is... well... in regards of the dragon race... Whomever were to mate with her would be the luckiest dragon alive. You will just have to see her new appearance for yourself." Ridley said with a slight laugh as he walked over to another computer system.
He pressed a few buttons and operated a few controls, one of the cameras showed an imag mech unit crafted to resemble him.
"It's almost finished. In the past Robot Ridley was a complete failure. My Meta form was like wise useless but still formidable. Mech Ridley should be the ULTIMATE version of me. We've incorporated armor pieces that draw power from the gems that are simulated within a Crystal Chamber inside of it's body. So far the tests have proved positive in assumptions. A few more parts and a few more tests... It should be ready in two days."
Terrador looked at the monstrous machine and shook his head. This machine would be on the front lines being controlled from this chamber.
"Sometimes I wonder why Ignitus allows all of this." Terrador muttered to himself.
(Spyro's POV)
Upon waking up after falling asleep I looked around and noticed that there were two other dragons in the room. One was Link but the one next to him was a different dragoness completely. I did not recognize her and yet she looked familiar and quite beautiful. If it were not for the fact that Cynder had my heart already I would be after that dragoness.
I turned my head and saw that Cynder was laying beside me, I smiled, closed my eyes, and draped my wing over her. I don't know what happened but I still remained awake. Yet I could sense that something was not right.
"Something's not right."
I heard a familiar voice say. There was movement, then there was the sound of a door opening, next thing I heard was the sound of energy being gathered together. I woke up and saw that the other dragoness was gone as was Link. I looked around when suddenly I felt myself being pulled out of the chamber through the balcony. Within seconds I was in mid air floating wihtout anything below me except the ground.
I looked up and there was nothing above me. Suddenly I was being pulled beyond the City Barrier. I passed out...
When I came to I was laying on a stone floor before something like an alter or throne.
"Welcome, Spyro..." a malevolent voice said.
I looked up and saw him.
"Malefor..." I growled and began getting to my feet only to be electrocuted.
"Careful young dragon... Don't want you to die on me yet. I have a proposition for you. Help me and Warfang will remain in one piece... Deny helping me and Warfang will fall... and Cynder will become mine once more." Malefor said in his evil tone.
"Why would I ever help you, Malefor? Cynder won't fall to the darkness ever again... Not since Samus infused Light Crystals into her. Besides we got warriors on our side that you don't have." I said in a soft yet strong tone.
Malefor laughed and spoke, "You think that I don't have power on my side? I have the Corruptor Phazos on my side. he's already enhanced my minions to be stronger. I doubt that your warriors would stand a chance against them... NOW join me and this will all..."
"MALEFOR..."
A darker voice chimed in and the hissing of something then the clang of it closing. I looked and saw an armored creature glowing in a dark blue purple color.
"I willl deal with this one... You get out there and lead your army." the creature said.
"As you say... Phazos." Malefor said before looking at me.
At that moment I sensed that Malefor was wanting my help to get rid of this being. I closed my eyes and nodded to which Malefor walked away.
"Now... you must be Spyro... I have a SPECIAL gift for you." Phazos said with a twisted tone.
I then saw a dark aura surround it before the aura became a ball in it's hand.
This wasn't going to end well for me and I knew it. There was nothing I could do. I was trapped here and this creature had every intent of either corrupting me or killing me I did not know which. I tried to fight I even went as far as to summon up my lightening to over charge the chains holding me down. I used my earth element and broke lose but that was going to delay the inevitable.
I was still tired but I was not gonna go down without a fight. I squared off against the creature while tapping the device on my right foreleg. It beeped once then went silent. Now I could only hope that someone would come to help me.
*Samus' POV*
Something wasn't right and I had dragged Link with me even though he was still out cold. A few minutes later we arrived on the top floor of the towerthe large double doors now had a security I.D. lock on it. I put in my Federation I.D. code. The voice of A.U. 242 sounded.
"Welcome, Samus Aran."
upon entering I saw Ridley, a few federation soldiers, the three guardians, the chronicler, and Admiral Dane all standing around a computer system.
"What's going on?" I asked instantly my power suit activating but forming into dragon armor.
Ridley was the first to respond to my question.
"Samus... The shield barrier fluctuated recently and something got dragged out from within the city. We've been tracking down the object that had been taken."
Everyone in the room seemed like they had to pick their jaw up off the ground except the guardians, and Ignitus.
"What was the object?" a familiar voice asked from behind me.
I turned around to see who it was but was kinda stopped.
"Cynder." Terrador said in a surprised tone.
At this point I could see worry on Cynder's face and knew that something was bothering her, so I decided to ask her question again.
"What was the object?" I asked.
"The uh... object?" one of the three guardians said some what nervously.
"Yes the object." I responded irritably.
Everyone looked at each other as if asking, "Should we answer this question?"
I decided to lose my patience and slammed my foot into the floor.
"What was the object that got dragged out of the shield barrier!" I yelled out.
At that moment Dane would have cut in but the computerized voice of someone familiar spoke.
"The object was Spyro." the voice of a computer said.
"Thanks Adam." I said looking at the computer systems.
Cynder's eyes widened and she seemed shocked at the information.
"Spyro? It was Spyro? We have to go find him don't we?" Cynder asked
Link had woke up after Adam said that it was Spyro that got dragged out of the shield barrier. Link did the one thing he was good at... He comforted Cynder.
"Don't worry Cynder, we'll find Spyro and we'll bring him back." Link said giving me perfect opportunity to respond in kind.
"Right. The three of us will find Spyro and bring him back. Adam what was the direction that Spyro was taken?"
A hologram appeared and showed a line from the tower to the remains of the Space Pirate ship near where the indications of Phazon were at.
"I have ran the figures he should be at that location somewhere but from what I have observed, Spyro is one who is very resourceful and won't go down easily. Chances are that if he was captured he's escaped and is doing what he can to find his way back here or he is having to fight for survival. Either way he should still be safe." Adam said before going on, "Your mission is to head out into the Corrupted Lands, find Spyro, and bring him back. The use of lethal power is advised and allowed. Any objections, lady?"
I smiled and did my best to show as if I were performing my typical 'thumbs down' pose when asked that question.
"Get going I don't think we have much time till something really bad happens." Adam said.
Ridley chimed in saying, "Samus, Link, Cynder. Report to the North Gate facility to be outfitted with some equipment. We've been working on some new weapons, armor augments, and shielding designs."
I looked at Ridley, nodded, and we headed out to the North Gate Facility.
Upon arriving there we were greeting by Space Pirates who instantly brought out various equipment that was designed to fit dragons. Within a few minutes the three of us were outfitted with a lot of equipment, me more so than the other two. I was outfitted with a form set that fused with my Power Suit Dragon Armor. Apparently these pieces would allow me to tap into my other abilities without the harm of destructive results.
Link was outfitted with a few pieces of equipment that would help him survive out there. Cynder on the other hand was equipped with various gear that would allow her to use all elements that Link and I could use. To top it all off her armor was Synchronized to mine and Link's. There was a purpose for this and I did not worry about it for the time being. After we were all outfitted with new gear we headed out the North Gate and headed for the Corrupted lands by flying there.
Link and I flapped our wings till we were moving fast enough for Speed Booster to kick in. It did and we were flying across the sky faster and if this kept up we'd reach our destination soon. Apparently the Synchronization of armor was useful for as fast as we were going Cynder was going just as fast.
We managed to make it to our destination rather quickly but there was going to be some complications now. The door in was sealed off with a Phazite plating, and the structure of the ship itself was out right horrible but somehow sound.
I looked around at the ground for some way in... and found it. There was a hole in the wall just a few feet from the door and above the hole was something like a vent. I prayed that some of my Power Suit's abilities remained. I attempted to go into morphball mode and, surprisingly, I went into Morphball mode.
I rolled into the hole, got stuck in a bomb slot. At this point I just prayed even more that the Bomb function still worked. I thought of how the Bombs worked but nothing happened. I then thought of how they would possibly be transformed due to my transformation. Sitting stationary for such a time I accessed the Power Suit's system mainframe to see what all had been affected by the transformation. What I got was very disheartening and yet relieving.
Suit functions altered: The following functions have been changed due to current users physical status. Beam Systems changed, Visor function altered, Missile systems changed, Space jump, hi jump, and screw attack functions altered... Bomb systems altered, Morphball function altered slightly.
Looking at this I looked through what all had been changed. It was interesting to learn about it all.
Power Beam was now Power Aura and the details were: As long as this aura is active Energy drains slower and restores ten points every five minutes.
The Charge Beam function was now a breath attack augment allowing me to build up power into breath attacks. Spazer added three bolts to a breath attack. Ice Beam was now Ice Breath... I was able to breath ice element onto my enemies and possibly freeze them. Wave Beam was Lightening Breath and considering the electrical properties it was fitting. The Plasma beam wound up being Fire Breath and I could set enemies on fire quite effectively.
The Luminoth's Light beam now became Light Breath, Dark foes would fear the breath attack and be repelled by it. Luminoth Dark beam became Dark Breath I would be able to stop my enemies in their tracks and still be able to destroy them. As for the Annihilator beam... That was now the Annihilator Aura. As long as the Annihilator Aura was active Breath attacks and normal attacks got increased damage.
The next one I did not want to even have around me... The Phazon Beam... It was now Phazon Breath. My better choice of beams was the Nova Beam it was changed to give all attacks a piercing effect.
The visors were not altered all that much considering the fact that now I could just shift through them freely without having to touch a button or switch on my helmet. The Missile systems were changed to the point that they were now a part of my Special Breath attack. Hi jump was not altered but it allowed my to jump higher than others. The Space Jump gave me a mid air spin that would take me higher into the air. The Screw Attack was altered so that it was based on a downward spiral to use. The Bomb systems I looked at a little closer. Apparently whatever element I was using at the time the Bomb would be of that element. I just had to be in Morphball mode to use them.
I closed out of the Suit's data mainframe and switched over to fire element, set the bomb, the bomb exploded in a flare of flames sending me back out of the hole. The door on the other hand was opened allowing us entry.
(Link's POV)
After Samus had opened the door we went inside expecting all sorts of traps to hit us. Cynder was slightly familiar with some Space Pirate tech, I was familiar with a lot of it, but Samus knew the stuff like the back of her hand...er paw. In any case we went into the structure but nothing seemed to be happening. If anything the place seemed desolate that is until a voice spoke over an intercom system.
"Welcome, Samus, Link, and Cynder... Welcome to the Corruptor's Province" the voice said
I didn't know who the voice belonged to and neither did Samus. Cynder on the other hand stood still as if frozen by Samus' Ice Beam. At this I looked at Samus who listened to the voice over a recording in her Suit.
She revamped the tone, altered the pattern, lifted the dark sinister sound from before putting it through another series of changes and filter. A few seconds later we were greeted by our slightest worst fear...
"s...s... spyro..." Cynder said as her voice cracked and she started to choke up and tears flowed freely from her eyes only to streak down her black scaled cheek to the metal floor below.
Samus and I looked at each other and knew what had to be done. We shook our heads and opened a Twilight Portal to the White Isle. Cynder was broken into particles and sent through the portal. Afterwards Samus and I looked at each other and took on a whole new persona.
"We are not going to enjoy this." I said while looking through my ability listings.
Samus' only response was, "Let's try to save him for Cynder's sake."
At this we made our way through the chambers of the ruined ship.
First chamber was an air lock that cycled through and opened the door ahead. We went through and the second chamber seemed to be a long yet circular chamber with a few vent ducts. We continued on through into the third chamber, this was where we encountered some opposition... which was shortly taken care of by Samus and me. After those were dealt with we made our way through the room and entered the next one.
Needless to say from the data logs that Samus had showed me of when she was on the Space Pirate Frigate: Orpheon as well as when she was on the B.S.L. station and Ceres station she had also showed me logs of when she was on the Valhalla. This ship went much like those as one except without all the need for using elevators. Hours passed and we were near a steel scaled door with a skull mark on it that was outlined with Phazon.
"The foreboding of dungeons and temples in Hyrule mixed with the torment of machines from space... Not really a good combination." I said aloud before the door opened.
On the other side await what we were after but something was not going to go well... I just knew it. Yet something urged us forward but before we could get through the door a black creature appeared and looked at both of us with it's single red eye.
"Mytherias... What are you doing here?" I asked the Sacred Ing.
It looked at us then said, "You two must save the one named Spyro... But to do that you must have Cynder with you. For the three of you can break the bind that holds Spyro in Darkness. PLEASE you must hurry before it is too late." Mytherias said before vanishing quickly.
Samus and I looked at each other before opening a Twilight Portal that brought Cynder to us. When she arrived she looked into the chamber and her demeanor changed to that of one ready for anything.
"Let's go... We have to save Spyro." she said and walked in leaving us slightly bewildered.
We followed in and were greeting by a dragon engulfed in a dark aura that pulsed with the corruption of Phazon.
"Welcome..." The dragon said before continuing on...
Alright another update... and we still have this going "A darkness with in, to surface. The hero of swords, covered in wounds, lays in blood. The Corrupted one calls forth an army of true darkness. The one of Chaos brings forth true destruction. The Dragon of the Federation brings forth an army of true warriors. The Darkened mind of the Master Mind Brain arrives to fight for light... A planet soon split between three realms." so we have three pieces of a prophecy of sorts that still need fulfilling... well they will be
Join me next chapter if you will.
