Chapter 20: Hero's strike back

(Winter)

The next day when me and River, or Burn now, When we woke we headed straight for the temple. I knew better then any body what was running threw Burn's head at the time.

He was going to go after Mathias and his dad. The problem was convincing him to let us all go and help him. I mean we had started this together when we first came into this world.

It only made sense that we would finish this together. I was not going to let him go alone. He knew how stubborn I was. I just kept thinking thou. Is he going to be ok he seemed a little different.

But as we walked into the temple I saw the guardians already waiting for us. "AH Burn. Now that we are all here we can start." Cyril said. Ky;e and Emily stepped up. "These two have told us what happened in your world. River did you really turn dark." Spyro said.

I looked at him in shock. I thought Spyro and Cynder where the only ones who had dark sides. "Yes I did. My anger won over my mind and I ended up killing Richard for all that he has done." River said.

"I must say that this is a little troubling. If things get out of hand for you again it could lead to your dark side to take over my boy." Cyril said. He nodded. "I understand fully the risk in this matter." River said.

"However. I am not going to let my brothers killer get away with what he has done. I am going after Mathias and my dad. you can either help me or step out of my way." River said.

I just looked at him. Not in all my life have I ever seen him so serious about something like this. When we were normal he just said words. He would never really hurt a fly.

Yet it seems like something has snapped in his head that made him this way. But I guess watching your brother die in front of you will make any one loss a bit of sanity.

I looked at him. "River you know you have me to help." I said. I mean I may be an ice dragon but I could still help him. We walked out into the hall way and we were alone for a while.

I had to say my feelings. Because I don't know if we were going to have time later. "River!" I said. He turned to me. "What is it Winter." River said. "I wanted to tell you something." I said.

"Ok go ahead." He said. I took a deep breath. "Ever since we came here my life changed majorly. And you have been their to help me threw the whole thing. And threw out this entire crazy adventure my feelings for you has grown." I said.

He looked at me and his face hardened. "You have treated me so kindly since we meet. I have always stayed close to you. And I felt safe with you around. I guess what I am trying to say is."

"Don't Winter. I know what you mean. And honestly I don't mind it. I have felt the same way for a while. But right now. I want to finish this ok." River said. I went up and nuzzled the side of his head.

"Then lets end this quickly." I said. We walked out side and Kyle, Emily, Spyro, Cynder, Flame, And Ember where there waiting. "Your not taking Mathias on with out us dude." Kyle said.

River just nodded. "Lets end this here and now." River said. We walked for the front gate heading into the forest straight towards the mountains.

(River)

I didn't know what to say as we made our way towards Mathias. Winter just told me how she felt and my friends are willing to help me get back at our enemies and end this conflict once and for all.

I was just excited a little. I was ready to end this silly little war. I was ahead with Spyro and as we closed on onto the mountains I looked at him. "So did it feel like this when you faced the dark master." I said.

"River when I went against Malefor I had the world resting on my hands. You have both your and mind in your right now." Spyro said. I just sighed. "But yeah I was scared. I didn't think I could do it. But with Cynder helping me I gained to courage." Spyro said.

I just looked at him. I had never thought that Spyro the most heroic dragon ever had feared a foe before. He always seemed to be brave to no end in every game. It just surprised me.

But I quickly shook the thought out of my mind. For we hit the foot of the mountain. And sitting their waiting was Both Emily's dad and Kyle's sister. "River go we can handle this one." Emily said.

"Are you guys sure." I said. "Spyro take him and your friends and head to the mountain. This is were our fight takes us." Kyle said. As we walked by I looked at my friends. "See you when I get back." I said.

(Kyle)

This was really hitting me. But I guess I knew that this was coming. But they were in for a shock. "Ready Emily." I said. "Yeah Kyle" She said. Right before we woke up Ignitus came to us and showed us how to make our selves human in this wold.

Now it was time to us it. I grabbed 2 white crystals from the bag around my neck and handed on to Emily. We then held them against our chest and felt the changed take place.

When they were done we saw that they expected this a little. "So you were telling the truth then." Emily's dad said. "Yes I was. But I guess that doesn't change the way things are." Emily said.

"Sadly they don't. You knew it was us and yet you still fought. so it only goes to say that we know the side your on." my sister said. "Well lets get this over with. We need to help River with Mathias." I said.

I pulled out the knifes I used back home. My sister pulled her daggers. I saw Emily's dad was holding Nash's sword and Emily had River's sabor. "You can still back down now." I said.

My sister answered with a charge at me. I ran right back. When we meet are knifes made a metallic clash sound as we meet up. I brought my leg up and kneed her in the chest.

She jumped back and pulled a thin blade and threw it. I had dodged it and ran at her. I brought my knife down on her leg giving her a deep cut in the thigh. She threw me off and yanked the knife out.

I hated myself for doing that but I was trying to weaken her not kill her. But her intent was on killing. She charged again and this time landed a cut on my shoulder and chest.

I had to catch my self from falling. My chest stung a little but not to much. She came at me again but this time I grabbed her arm and twisted her on the ground. Her daggers flew out of her hands as she fell threw the air.

But she landed on her feet and forced my arms off. She tried to hit me but I used my arms to block each hit. it hurt but not enough. When she gave a clear sign I landed a clean hit across her face.

She fell to the ground for a minute. "Cheap shot Kyle" she said. She then slid a dagger in each hand. She must have had a spear hidden in her sleeves. I used my element and made stone dagger appear in my hands. She ran for me and I clashed with her.

All you heard was the sound of metal hitting stone. I had the energy advantage but my sister had steel blades. If she landed a bad blow I wouldn't last. I had to stay aware.

But then I heard a crack. her left dagger split in two as it hit my stone dagger. I swung my leg around and gave her a round house to the chest. She flew back and hit a three. She fell to the ground with a grunt.

I took out a grey crystal and placed it on her back. She disappeared from this world. Ignitus gave us both one for when we beat our family. So we could send them home. It would also erase any memory of our disappearance from day one.

(Emily)

Kyle had a success in fighting his sister. But my dad was giving me a hard time. My arm and left leg were bleeding and their was a small cut above my right eye. "Is my little girl getting tired." dad said.

This angered me. so I decided to pull my ace move. metal was a good conductor of electricity so I used my element and charged the blade. "Yeah I am tired. Tired of you being here dad." I said.

We clashed and I could see the sparks fly every time our blades made contact. He was good. He seemed like he had been practicing from the day he got here. This knew surge of skill did catch me a little by surprise.

But i was able to lane a blow across his chest making him freeze up. I had only grazed him and he fell with a surge of static going threw his body. Kyle then came by and placed a grey crystal on him making him vanish.

"Took you long enough eh Emily." Kyle said. "Very funny but I still won." I said. We took the crystals from our chess and were dragons again. We then started running towards the mountains.

But before we could get their we heard this scream or roar so loud we had to cover our ear. "Thats not good." Kyle said. "No I don't think so." I said. "Emily we have to hurry. If he has just gone dark we don't have time." Kyle said.
