here's the fruit of my labor. done to the song All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me) Enjoy! R&R!

All These Things I Hate

Spyro awoke still lying amongst the decimation of the temple ruins. He jumped to his paws with a start, frightening Cynder into wakefulness beside him. Seeing the purple dragon's wild expression, she cooed softly to him. "Spyro, love. Are you feeling any better?"

Spyro shuddered with grief at his memories of the day before. "I don't know, Cyn. Ignitus is gone….and Dreyah killed him? I can't deal with it all." He shook his head. "And on top of that, I live in constant fear of my own darkness." He raised his purple eyes to his lover's sapphire ones. "I'm losing it Cyn, and I don't want you getting hurt. I can feel it now, I can't control it yet and if you're around…." Spyro's eyes glimmered with tears. "I don't want to lose you, Cyn. I might not be able to snap out of it next time."

Once more I say goodbye, to you
Things happen but we don't really know why
If it's supposed to be like this, why do most of us ignore the chance to miss?

Cynder felt her own tears begin to form. "Spyro…no, don't go. I can't bear it without you. You heard what Ignitus said, you need me by your side. Why are you pushing me away? I love you."

Spyro kissed her softly. "I love you too Cynder, but that is the very reason you can't stay with me. I can't lose you, not ever." His voice broke and the sorrow returned. The purple dragon's eyes shone with pain. "Don't you see how hard this is for me? I never wanted to leave you, but if I can protect you, then I will do whatever I must.


Oh yeah...

Torn apart at the seams and my dreams turn to tears, I'm not feeling this situation
Run away try to find a safe place you can hide
It's the best place to be when you're feeling like..

Cynder walked over to the sleeping Kronos. She whispered her words back to Spyro, not wanting to wake the hurting dragon before her. "Spyro, what is going to happen will, you can't change it."

Spyro shook his head. "No. That is wrong. Our fates, our futures are not set in stone. I can't imagine a destiny without you, that's why I must do this thing I hate." Why is it always her who must suffer like this?


Me...(me!)
Yeah...(yeah!)
All these things I hate revolve around
Me...(me!)
Yeah...(yeah!)
Just back off before I snap

The waters of despair began to flow down the black scales of Cynder's muzzle. Her despair gave way to anger and she whirled on Spyro, yelling at him. She didn't care if she woke Kronos or Cyril anymore. "LIAR! You just want me gone don't you? If that's the case then just tell me! After all we've been through, the Spyro I love wouldn't just abandon me at a time like this."

Once more you tell those lies, to me
Why can't you just be straight up with honesty?
When you say these things in my ear, why do you always tell me what you wanna hear?

Spyro recoiled at her words. "Cynder…how could you say that? I love you more than anything. But I don't want to lose control and kill you. Please, you have to understand."


Oh yeah...

Wear your heart on your sleeve, make things hard to believe, I'm not feeling this situation
Run away try to find a safe place you can hide
It's the best place to be when you're feeling like..

Cynder spread her wings and roared in pain. "NO! You wanted this all along. I knew it, nobody could love an evil dragoness like me. You're just like Sparx! He never understood." With those final words of rejection, the black dragoness launched into the air, trailing tears as she flew. A blue flash followed her and Spyro glimpsed Kronos racing after her. This gave him some bit of relief; Kronos was a good dragon to cheer Cynder up.


Me...(me!)
Yeah...(yeah!)
All these things I hate revolve around
Me...(me!)
Yeah...(yeah!)
Just back off before I snap and you'll see...(see!)
Me...(me!)
All these things I hate revolve around
Me...(me!)
Yeah...(yeah)
Just back off before I snap...

Cyril stepped over to Spyro, keeping his movements slow and steady. "Young dragon, what was that all about?"

Spyro's body shook with a mix of anger, loss, and resentment. He lifted his gaze to pierce through the ice guardian and spoke quickly, his voice dripping with malice. "Cyril, leave now. Leave or die!"

Cyril noted the flickering red in the purple dragon's eyes and understood. The ice dragon pushed his wings downward, propelling himself into the air above the ruins of the once glorious Dragon Temple.


Torn apart at the seams and my dreams turn to tears, I'm not feeling this situation
Run away try to find a safe place you can hide
It's the best place to be when you're feeling like me...

As Spyro watched the ice dragon fly away, he felt the darkness within his soul take hold of his mind. The power flowed through his veins and he loosed a feral scream of pain and anger. "CYNDER!" His scream mutated into a roar and flames billowed from his gaping maw. The purple dragon's rampaging emotions took control of his elements and the destruction around him grew. Boulders crashed into the forest and lightning cracked through the sky onto dried logs, igniting deadly fires. A maelstrom of ice and earth whirled about Spyro's body as he walked forward out of the wreckage of the temple. Electricity arced from his body and struck anything that entered his spinning blizzard. The grass around his feet turned to ash whenever he took a step, the heat from his form too intense.

Every living creature could see him coming from leagues away and avoided him at all costs. The dragon was a walking natural disaster; the ground shook beneath him and nature around him froze solid before being melted by the heat radiating from his frame. Any creature who did not realize the danger of the unstable dragon was incinerated by a superheated bolt of lightning. Tears continued to stream down the now black dragon's snout as his rampage was carried out. Cynder…is that what you truly think?


It's the best to be when you're
Me...(me!)
Yeah...(yeah)
All these things I hate revolve around
Me...(me!)
Yeah...(yeah!)
Just back off before I snap and you'll see...(see!)
Me...(me!)
All these things I hate revolve around
Me...(me!)
Yeah...(yeah)
Just back off before I snap...

Spyro felt the last of his energy begin to fade as the shadow within him flared up once more, bringing with it the dark power he had wielded before. Purple mists began to twist around his form as the energy built up inside of his body. Explosions rocked the terrain around the dragon, sending fear lancing through every creature within twenty leagues. The dragon of prophecy was losing control of everything that he had and Spyro was disappearing into the darkness. Only one being could save him, but would she even come near him?

A short distance away, a pair of orange eyes filled with terror watched the walking disaster grow nearer with every passing second. She knew what she must do and it terrified her beyond words. But she would do it. For her brother.

GASP! surprised? yeah well so was i. guess we're both in shock. this, my friends, is the product of sleep deprivation and Amp Overdrive (energy drink fyi) so deal with it! There is another song that i wanted to put in this series, but it fits just the way it is for this chapter so i'm just gonna put it right here.

I scream into your face, I scream into your face until,
My veins are bursting through, prisoners that live under my skin,
They call, out my name and anger takes it's hold
It's hold, but it wont stop coz I have no control,
I have no control.

It calls, calls out my name,
It holds, it holds, it holds me down.

I stare into your eyes, I stare into your eyes until,
The tears start to pour rivers down your face I can't ignore,
It calls, out my name and anger takes it's hold,
It's hold, but it wont stop coz I have no control,
I have no control

You say, your way
Was the only way to be.

This is No Control, again by Bullet. (of course) and it fit.

lol...well, this is just another stpe closer to the end and an epic happening that could possibly be resolved. Well, i should prolly get some sleep, basketball game tomorrow, so that's it for tonight.

Laters!
