-Chapter Twelve: The Hidden Elements-

Spyro landed in a desert; it was deserted at the end of the Nile River. Looking around, nothing was seen but sand and only but few cacti spreading ahead of him. Spyro sat down; he wondered if this was the wrong way. "This is where the map led me, perhaps a mishap?" Spyro muttered softly to himself. Spyro felt the sand beneath him sink. "Quicksand," Spyro shouted, attempting to fly upward. The sand sucked him; about five minutes his head was only seen. Panting furiously, he had no choice but to allow the quicksand suck him whole.

Spyro held his breath and dived in. For some reason, he was able to breathe inside. Then, sand whooshed out into a small hallway. Spyro coughed several time and shook his head. He rubbed his eyes, sand fell from them. Spyro blinked twice and saw that the hallway was carved like a tunnel. Torches were placed every few inches. Spyro saw that halls had hieroglyphics carved deeply. Spyro walked up to his left and saw a picture of a dragon; it looked a lot like him. Spyro walked as the carved images told a tale of mystery.

Spyro saw this dragon running happily around to a golden palace. He saw the dragon walk inside, the room he walked in was huge; the size of five houses. Spyro then saw the dragon walk into a room straight across the entrance. Continuing to walk, Spyro saw the dragon walk into a library. A book placed right in the center of the library floated in front of the dragon. The dragon grabbed the book and began to read it. Then, Spyro reached a point where words were carved.

A dragon worthy of holding the power to rule the whole Dragon Empire must certainly obtain three elements, these elements must only be taught to the purple dragon. The three elements are scattered around the Dragon Realms. Three books teach and master one of the three elements. However, these books are only seen if the element has awakened within this particular dragon.

As the words stopped Spyro continued to walk. Then, Spyro bumped into something rather pointy. Spyro looked in front of him. A pillar object was in front of him. On top of the pillar was a silver book. A voice began to speak. "Read the book placed in front of you, every time you obtain one of what is called The Hidden Elements you shall master the element that has placed upon you. Also, once you do obtain the element at any random time, a random event shall happen and you will return here. Good luck, young dragon." The voice instructed.

Spyro gulped, he grabbed the book and opened it. The words inside glowed blue, and then, a hologram of an adult dragon floated out of the book. "Young dragon, you wish to learn the element Doomsday, yes??" the dragon asked. "It appears so," Spyro replied, unsure. "Very well, young dragon, rise!!" the dragon commanded. Spyro rose, not even attempting to do so, however. "Focus, feel the fear and natural instinct take over you're body. This power is much very controllable, to some, allow it to take over you're body but learn to control its ferocious nature." The dragon continued.

Spyro's body turned silver, his horns, tail and claws turning yellow as well. "Now, unleash its fury!" the dragon roared. Comets shot from the above Spyro and banged around him. Silver beams shot across the area, then an explosion of comets and shooting stars destructed the whole area. Spyro opened his eyes, finding himself in the exact same spot when he was looking for the Diean Open. Spyro looked around; turning back into his purple form. Spyro squinted; ahead of him was a lake. He began to head over to the lake suddenly placed there.

He reached river to it and looked inside. Spyro saw some sort of trench placed below. Spyro felt this was the way and dove inside, willingly. Spyro fell to the ground, breathing heavily. He didn't understand how that was possible. Spyro felt this was no time for illogical pondering and moved on. Spyro saw ahead him and saw silver dragon crouched in front of him. "Well, Spyro is it?? You're appearance means nothing, leave my presence or face a brutal fate." The dragon threatened, coldly. "Bronzo huh? Well, my brutal fate or yours. I came to make peace not to fight." Spyro said boldly. The silver dragon, Bronzo, glared at him with the will to kill him…

In front of Kelai, Cynder, Sparx, Lycia and Alanar was a cheetah; bow and arrow slides across his back. "Hunter??" Cynder yelped, shockingly. "Shut up!" Hunter barked. "Hunter what happened to you??" Cynder continued. "I said shut up!!" Hunter barked again, flinging Cynder against a rock. "W-Why??" Cynder asked softly. "Why what?? Why you are still alive??" Hunter asked, coldly. Cynder quivered, she remained quiet after that. Hunter glared at the rest of the group. "We have to fight!" Lycia shouted, all of them gesturing for battle.

"Hah! You fools think you can stop me?!" Hunter asked. "We'll do whatever it takes," Kelai said. "Fools!!" Hunter barked. Lycia approached Hunter first. "Come on now, trey to harm me." Hunter said, arrogantly. Lycia summoned a comet to shoot from the sky and hit Hunter. Hunter flipped forward, the comet landing right behind him. With incredible speed, Hunter charged at Lycia with full force. Lycia vanished from his path and appeared behind him. Hunter was slammed against a tree. Alanar took the advantage to paralyze him. As said, Alanar shot a an electric ball that exploded in front of Hunter. Paralyzing him, Hunter fell to the ground.

Kelai shot a blue beam, enforcing the paralysis. Sparx floated quietly, watching the action unfold ahead of him. Hunter glared at him with hated and vengeance. "What happened to you, Hunter??" Cynder asked, getting up from her fall and approaching him. Hunter glanced at her, he gave a sigh. "I was keeping my life…" Hunter replied weakly. Cynder couldn't believe what she heard. "So, you kill you're friends to keep your own life, sickening." Cynder huffed. Walking away, the group the headed for the temple once more; leaving Hunter paralyzed for a long period of time…

A/N: Sorry for the wait. Time was just not in it this week. :P Anywho, looks like Spyro has too much on his hands. ;) R&R!!
