Chapter 21: Vengeance

(Spyro)

As we left Crunch and Storm behind I began to worry. 'Could they actually win this fight'. They were dragons with very little training and they were fighting humans with metal weapons.

I didn't like the idea of splitting up but facing their family was something only they could do. I knew that they had won fights in the past but this was in the enemies territory now. Not ours.

"Spyro. If their is any person that can defend themselves it is them." River said. "Lets just focus on getting up this mountain." Winter said. And I saw the calmness in their faces.

They had complete trust that their friends knew what they were doing. So I began to relax. That was until we came across and enemy all to familier to me and Cynder. "Great and here I thought that you were all dead." I said.

"Far from it you purple pest." the biggest ape said. "We are going to enjoy taking you both down for what you have done to our master." He said. River get back for a bit. Me and cynder have this one." I said.

The apes just came at us charging with out thinking like always. Me and Cynder held our breaths and released shooting balls or our elements at them. Then when they got close we started slashing at them.

I mean when you faced an enemy like this for a while you start to learn how to beat them easy. And it didn't take really long to defeat this small little group. "Well I say that was a good work out for today." Cynder said stretching her wings.

I could see River laughing a little. "Whats so funny!" I said. "Oh nothing that needs to be noted." He said. I was really beginning to think he liked being annoying sometimes.

(River)

As they finished up taking the apes down we began walking up the mountain again. The whole time we were climbing I was thinking back to the times with my brother. There was so much we never got to do and it was all because of Mathias.

"River how you feeling back their." Spyro called back. I just looked up at him. "Doing ok just a little lost in thought." I said. "Well you'd better snap out of it soon. You can't be day dreaming in a fight." He said.

I knew he was right. I mean he had defeated the dark master for god sakes. I could never accomplish something so big in my life time. I mean all I had to my name was my life back home.

Which had been shattered to pieces because dad had to run right threw my brother. It was still hard for me to handle that Nash was now gone. My brother who spent half my life with just gone.

I didn't know how my dad could be so heartless. I mean he just killed his own son and didn't seem to care about it. thats what made mw angry the most. I would have at least stayed and try to make sure he had a chance to survive.

then Spyro spoke up. "Thinking about him will only make it worse." Spyro said. "Neither willing getting revenge. I should now better then any one." Spyro said. I knew what he ment to. Ignitus had given his life just to help Cynder and Spyro.

My brother had given his life to protect me. So in a way they went doing the same thing. Protecting some on that they cared for. I knew what Spyro was trying to do. I appreciated it.

"Ok. I am fine. It is just a little hard for me to handle thats all." I said. "I know. I was almost taken over when Ignitus died. But Cynder calmed me down and we managed to make it threw with our mission." Spyro said.

"Oh how sweet you had your girlfriend helping you." A voice said. We entered a clearing and we saw who the voice had come from. "YOU! I KILL YOU YOU SLIMY LITTLE WEASL!" I screamed.

"Oh come now River. Is that a way to talk to your own father." He said. "River calm down we don't need your anger getting the better of you." Winter said holding me back.

"Let go of me. I am gonna kill him." I said. I then saw what my friends were talking about. My scales started turning a very dark red color. "GET OFF!" I said. I pushed them all away and went up against my dad.

"Thats what I wanted to see. You getting all dark. I wanted to see what ended Richards life." he said. "You shouldn't even know about that." I said. "You'd be surprised how fast news travel off your little mission in our world." He said.

"You better not even step of that rock. Cause if you do I promise I will kill you." I said. He jumped down. "I don't plan on dying. I plan on dragging you to Mathias so he can tape into that power of yours." He said.

At this point my scales completely became dark and I started going fuzzy. I then felt something in my mind and I didn't like it. "Finally your anger is high enough." A voice said. 'Your not gonna win. I am just borrowing you for a bit." I said.

I then charged at my dad. He blocked my tail shot every time I struck. "To slow boy. You can't hit me." he said. Which only enraged me even more. "Come on let me out. I can make it quick." The voice said. "NO THIS IS MY FIGHT!" I yelled.

I started slashing at him and when that didn't work I felt him stab my arm. I jumped back and pulled a dagger out. "It seems like you wont let in voluntarily. Oh well." The voice said. I then lost consciousness.

(Spyro)

I hadn't seen some one so angry before. He just lost all control as soon as he was stabbed. "You did it now you little runt." River said. But in a deeper voice then what he originally had. That is when his eyes turned white.

He looked and charged at his dad and started attacking with his tail. But his dad kept dodging it and laughing. "To slow son." He said with a grin. But He could hear a little fear in his voice.

"Don't tamper with me you runt." Whoever was controlling River said. He charged this time using both his arm and tail attacking his dad. I knew what was happening.

I just remembered back to when I faced both Cynder and Malefor. They were very hard. And If it was going the way I thought. We might have trouble as soon as this fight was over.

"Whats happing Spyro?" Winter asked. She sounded a little scared. "River has lost control Winter." I said. I didn't think he was able to gain control any more. I was hoping he would thou.

"Got you." He said with his dad's leg in his mouth. "I warned you that if you ever messed with my friends or family you would regret it. But you didn't listen did you." As soon as he said that I knew he had some control.

But what he did next brought me back to my feet. He trusted his tail into his dads chest and tossed him to the ground. He then blew a stream of fire at him covering him up in a blanket of flames.

After he did this he lifted his head and let out a roar or screech. We had to cover our ears because that sound was hurting our ears.

(Winter)

I had to snap him out of it. River was not like this I knew he was never this way. "River!" I ran up. he saw me. "You have to fight it your not like this at all and you know it." I said.

River then charged at me. Spyro tried to come but Cynder held him back. River stopped in front of me suddenly. "River please fight it. Remember who you are. Remember why your fighting." I said crying.

Then I felt something touch my head. I looked up to see him leaning on me. "Sierra?" He said. "Yes River. please fight it." I said. He then turned back to his bright red color and his eyes turned back into their blue color.

"Don't ever do that again." I said still in tears. "I wont Sierra. I promised never to leave you alone again." He said. I gave him a hug or the closest thing to a hug.

"Come on you to. We still have Mathias to fight." Spyro said. We turn and looked at the cave. "Lets end this." We both said.
