Chapter 5
Training gone wrong
At Daybreak, the Elders take a tally of all the Dragons that were brought into the temple that night. The total came to 20 Dragons. "that isn't enough. We need to find more or there will be Dragon corpses everywhere." Murmured a concerned Ignitus. Ignitus hears something on the com Crystal, so he tunes into the frequency and hears from Draco: "Spyro and his friends are to meet in the training room in the temple in 1 hour. Bring armor!" the signal then faded into nothing. "Why is he calling them to the training room?" Ignitus wondered.
At 9:00, everyone except the Elders meet in the Training room. Draco gets ready to brief them on what they are to accomplish. "Today, I'm going to take an assessment on your skills. You may use any attacks, including breath attacks against me or Luna. Luna will train the females and I will train the males. After everyone has gone through, we will switch roles and I will test the females while Luna tests the guys. Aaron is allowed to sit out this session since I tested him last night, but only if he wishes. Any questions?" Draco inquired. The room was silent. "Now then, let's get started. Who wants to go first? We need a female and a male." Called Draco.
Daire and Nuri were the first ones. "Ready?" Called Draco and Luna together. Daire and Nuri nodded yes. "Before we start," Said Draco, put this on!" Said Draco, making 2 hand-size crystals. "what are these for?" Nuri inquired. " when these crystals flash red, that means you've been hurt. When the crystal flashes 3 times, it will flash purple. That means you're dead. Just insert them into your chestplate and we'll begin" said Draco. They both insert the crystals and the battle begins.
After 10 min, both Luna and Draco beat Nuri and Daire. "Daire, you are doing well, but don't get too cocky or you'll lose focus." Explained Draco. "Got it!" Said Daire and walked back to his place. "Nuri, nice job but be careful when you activate your napalm. You want to be the only one that is fighting when you use it." Explained Nuri. So, this went on for the next hour as they fought and taught each of the other Dragons. Finally, it was Aaron's turn.
"You sure you want to train? You went through an intense test last night." Said a concerned Draco. "Yeah. I'll be fine!" said Draco, getting in the ready stance. "Ok!" Said Draco and got in his battle stance. Before he attacked however, he saw Aaron staring into the distance. "Aaron, are you ok?" Yelled Draco. No answer. " Aaron!" Yelled Draco.Aaron gripped his head. "AAAAH! Get out of my head! AAAAH!" Cried Aaron, holding his head. This went on for about 2-3 min, then Aaron let go of his head and let it fall. When his head Rested, they Could see Aaron's eyes turned red!"Aaron, are you alright?" called Spyro.
"Everything you know is at an end! Muhahahaha!" Cried Aaron in an evil voice. "Stop him! He's been taken by the Dark master!" Aaron rushed At Spyro, but Draco stopped him by imprisoning him in a crystal cage. Aaron started bashing against the Crystal walls, cracking the outer Crystal layer."Let me out of here I tell you! You will die!" Cried the Dark Master. "Man, his Strength is inhuman as well! He's breaking through a prison that no Dragon has ever broken out of before!" Thought Draco as he struggled to keep the prison intact. "Luna, go and get the elders! They are the only ones that can free him. I'll hold him off!" Called Draco as he held the prison intact from Aaron's massive power. "Be back in a flash!" Said Luna, speeding out the door.
Aaron let loose a punch that just about broke the crystal prison. Draco put yet another layer of crystal on the prison. Luna Returned with the elders. The elders gathered around Aaron and started chanting an inaudible spell and a mass of energy gathered over the Prison. The Crystal prison was just about to be Broken. "Hurry! I can't hold him off much longer!" Cried Draco, almost drained of energy. The chanting stopped and the mass of energy flew through the prison and hit Aaron head on. Aaron fell over unconcious and Draco released the Prison and then fell over, breathing heavily.
