Chap.8: Anger And Fury

The next morning, Rosie woke up expecting to see Ignitus waiting for her, but oddly he wasn't. She entered the practice room, and there stood Draganta. "Are you ready? Then lets begin, shall we?" He said with a smile. Rosie looked at him with a confused expression, and noticed that he had arranged battle equipment around the room. "Ready for what? Ain't I going home?" She asked, as she walked torwards Draganta. He shook his head. "Ignitus and I were talking yesturday, and Ignitus asked me if I would train you to help you learn how to defend yourself. He said either that, OR I DON'T do it, and Spyro never gets to see you again." He paused. "I flipped a coin..."

"So Rosie, what type of dragon are you?" He asked, and immediately Rosie answered, "I'm pretty much the girly type. I like shopping, and assesories, and..."
"No, I meant like what element?" Draganta corrected. Rosie gave a him a blank look. ( Crickets in background ) Draganta groaned. "Are you a fire dragon or what"
"Oh! No. Not fire, ice! I'm an ice dragon!" Rosie cheerfully answered, then she showed him by example. A clear blue steam on ice blew out of her mouth. Draganta asked if she could show him if she could do ice shards. Unfortunatley, she couldn't... "So why is Rosie still here?" Asked Spyro, as he walked in the room. He watched as Rosie made a fool out of herself trying to make one stupid ice shard. "She'll be staying here for a while, because I'm training her now." Replied Draganta. Spyro smiled. "She's staying, really?!" He said happily, then quickly he added, "I mean... That's good."
"WATCH OUT!!" Rosie cried out. She managed to finally make an ice shard, but the shard started shooting around the room like a bullet. Luckily, Draganta avoided getting hurt. It was Spyro who was unlucky... Look away, people. Look away...

Draganta demonstrated a simple melee move, to give Rosie the idea on how one looks like. "Now you try." Rosie didn't want to, but she tried anyway. She got the kicks and the tail swings right. It was the ones that you had to jump into the air that gave her problems. On the first try, Rosie just ended up falling on her face... "Rosie, don't hesitate in preforming a melee move in the air. If you do it at the wrong timing, you'll mess up." Draganta instructed. Eventually, Rosie had gotten it. Now, to try her new moves on an opponent.

"You're kidding..." Rosie said, when Draganta told her she will be fighting those monkey practice dummy thingies. ( I'm not sure what to call them. All I know is that they look like monkey plushies and they come out in "The Legend of Spyro"... I thought the same way too like Rosie, that is... until they started moving... 0.o" ) Rosie started poking the monkey dummy. "Rosie, stay focus." Draganta said strictly. Rosie giggled and continued to poke the dummy. "Sorry, it's just so hilarious. Poke poke..." The monkey dummy attacked her... "What you need is an opponent that you can consentrate on, Rosie." Said Draganta, then he looked at Spyro. "Spyro, why don't you go in and help her out?" Spyro groaned and reluctantly walked into the middle of the room where Rosie stood. He laughed, "Wait, you want me to fight her?! But she's a girl, and I do not fight girls! Plus, Rosie is not going to be much of challange anyway." Rosie glared at him and felt offended. She grabbed Spyro's arm and threw him practically across the room. Draganta sighed. "That's... good..."

"So how's the girl doing?" Asked Ignitus. He was inpressed, Rosie had been improving very quickly. "Oh, she's doing quite good." Replied Draganta.
"Ow! She broke my wing!" Spyro cried from a distant, but Draganta tried to ignore him. "She looks a bit feisty there, don't you think?" Said Ignitus, as he watched Rosie chase Spyro around. Draganta shrugged. "I guess it just means she is getting better."
"Ow! My other wing!" Spyro cried out again. Ignitus turned to Draganta with a 'see-what-I-mean' look. Draganta put on a smile and said, "He's young, he'll heal fast."

"Now Rosie, your fury attack was very destructive, but you need to be able to control your powers." Said Draganta. "So for your excersise, I just want you to clear your mind and try to harness your power."
"That souldn't be too hard for her..." Spyro smirked. Rosie sat down and crossed her legs, and tried to clear her mind. It wasn't as easy as it sounded. Clearing your head is hard, people... Several mintures passed by and Rosie didn't feel any different. When she tried to do a fury attack, nothing happened. She consentrated, but again, nothing happened. "I don't get it, Rosie should be able to preform a fury attack." Draganta said to Spyro. "Did I miss something?" Spyro reminded him that Rosie's fury attack happened right after Night burned Rosie's photo of her mom and she got really angry for that. "Rosie's mom died when she was just an egg. That photo had her mom's picture on it, so it really meant a lot to her." He whispered quietly so Rosie wasn't able to hear.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. It was Tomas... Sparx flew past Tomas and flew straight to Spyro. "Spyro, Tomas is here to see you! Bianca and I tried our best to keep him away from here, because we knew he would not like Rosie being here, but he insisted on seeing you." Sparx warned. Spyro turned to Rosie and put his paws on her shoulders. "Rosie, you got to hide"
"Why?"
Spyro searched for a possible answer. "Because... we're playing 'Hide and Seek'! Yeah, we're playing that!" He said as he pushed Rosie out of the room. "So go hide... Somewhere far... Where no one can find you..." Rosie fell for it of course... And just in time too, because Tomas had just came in the room. Sparx and Spyro put on a smile and pretended that there was absolutley nothing going on. "Master Spyro, so you really are back?" Tomas said gladly, but his smile soon faded. "So did you find out about the portal's secrect?"

Spyro nodded slowly. "Yes I did. And I know about the other secret as well." He said with a serious frown. "How you tried to seperate the me and the Princess!" Tomas was startled, because he never expected to hear Spyro talk back to him. "It isn't my fault, you know know we had to do it for a good reason." Tomas said firmly.
"Good reason? Good reason?! Yeah right!!" Rosie yelled out as she stomped into the room. "You seperated us just because some person named Night wanted to kill me! Well, let me tell you TOMAS PERSON, I can take care of myself! Actually, Draganta is teaching me how to fight and clear my mind and stuff... So as you can clearly see, there was absolutley NO good reason you had the RIGHT to seperate us, jerk!!" Everyone just stared at her and Draganta slapped his forehead.

A/N: Oh poop... :x

"Rosie, didn't I tell you to hide?!" Spyro yelled, but Rosie just calmly shrugged. "No one came to find me..." Tomas glared at Ignitus and Draganta and told them he wanted to talk to both of them privately. Rosie, Sparx, and Spyro put their ears ( If they have any... ) on the door and tried to listen on their converstation. "Okay, I want to know what she's doing here now. Who brought her into our world?" Tomas demanded. Spyro got in trouble enough, and he desperately hoped that Draganta and Ignitus don't rat him out. "It doesn't matter who brought her here, sir. Ignitus and I have come to an agreement about Rosie. It just so happens that I'm training Rosie, according to Ignitus. So my decision is final Tomas, she stays. If you don't like it tough, majority rules." Rosie smiled as she listened Draganta defending her.

"I don't care about her fighting skills!" Yelled Tomas. "I blame her mother for all this. She is the one who gave permission for Night to take over the throne. Careless I tell you!" Rosie's face flushed red with anger. She did not belive in such thing! My mother was framed! She would never turn over the throne to Night! Never! Rosie thought. "She won't be able to become Queen if Rosie is still alive remember?" Ignitus pointed out. Tomas decided that the conversation should end, but before we actually left, he said, "Just make sure that girl stays out of trouble. Or it's back home for her." Then he slammed the door.

A/N: I'm not really sure why I made Tomas such a jerk, but I needed someone to be against Rosie...

Once Tomas was gone, Rosie exploded! "How dare he call my mom careless! How dare he! I know Mommy would never turn over the throne to Night! I know she wouldn't! I know... know..."Tears began to drop from her eyes. "I JUST KNOW!!!" Suddenly, she released another shychic wave that caused all the windows in the Dragon Temple to shatter into millions of pieces. When Rosie realized what she had done, she fell to her knees and started to cry. Draganta slowly got up on his feet and rushed over to Rosie. "Rosie, it's okay. It's okay..." He whispered soothingly, but she continued to cry. Then he noticed something he hadn't noticed before. "Rosie, I think the reason your fury attack didn't work before, is because it's only triggered when you get... angry..."

A/N: Well, there you have it! Another chapter! Please review, but no flames! Also, I will be welcomed to listen to anybody's ideas! Til next time!
