Chapter 8: The Final Battle

I knew what to do. I knew all of Malefor's tricks. If Spyro and Cynder could defeat him, I can stop him as well.

Malefor breathed fire at me, but I swiftly dodged it. 'Wow! I still know how to move as a dragon! Now this is a fight I won't forget, nor will anyone else!' I thought.

"Stay still, you little pest!" Malefor yelled, continuing to breath fire all over the place, setting fire to the nearby trees. (I should have put this into the last chapter, but when David/Drago and Winter escaped Concurrent Skies, they got to a forest before meeting up with Spyro and the others. Just wanted to make this interesting)

"AAAAAAGH!" I screamed in agony as fire burned my body and my wings. Because I was in midair, I was about to fall onto the ground before Malefor grabbed my tail and slammed me onto the ground repeatedly. Eventually, he grabbed me by the back of my neck, slammed me into the ground, then threw me away.

Malefor slowly walked up to me. I tried to get up, but the injuries he had inflicted on me were much too painful.

"And only just a minute ago you were ready to try and stop me. I thought this was going to be a challenge, but I guess it won't be." Malefor said. I tried to get up, but Malefor placed his claw on me, pushing me into the ground. "Too bad you and your "friends" won't see another day." Malefor continued.

"I won't- agh… let you hurt them!" I said.

"Hurt them? Heh heh heh, you won't know that they have died when I'm finished with you." Malefor said, throwing me away.

As I rolled after the rough landing, (if you would call it a "landing") something popped out of nowhere. When I looked at it, memories rushed through my mind.

(Flashback)

The mole dug into one of his pockets and took out a red crystal. He then handed it to me. "Take this. If you need it, it will heal your wing, if you ever injure it again." The mole said.

I took the gem, holding it in my claws. "Thank you." I said to the mole, before looking at the gem in curiosity.

(End of flashback)

'How dumb of me to forget this!' I thought as I rushed to pick it up. I grabbed it, then immediately pulled back to avoid Malefor's claw. I knew what to do, so I placed it on my chest. I felt it do its magic, healing my wounds completely.

I felt my body fill with an unknown, yet familiar strength. I felt like I was on fire, and I couldn't contain it.

So I unleashed it.

I lifted myself off the ground, and unleashed my inner flame. A wall of fire blasted outwards, destroying everything that it could touch. Not only that, it pulsed multiple blasts, catching Malefor in its path.

"No! I won't be defeated like this!" I will not!" Malefor screamed.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!"

Malefor then just… disappeared. Without a trace. But I knew he was still out there. Some things like him don't just roll over and die. All of a sudden, I felt extremely weak. I fell over, and when I tried to get back up I couldn't. Before I passed out from exerting so much energy, I saw my friends coming to me.

(Winter's POV)

Drago just laid there; unconscious. Not dead, cause he was breathing, but still.

"Let's take him back to Warfang. Winter, can you carry him back?" Spyro said. I nodded in response.

"Ok, then let's get going." Spyro said.

I took to the skies and picked Drago off the ground. Everyone else took for Warfang, while I flew a little bit behind.

'Oh Drago. I hope you're a dragon forever.' Winter thought. 'You're the one thing I care about in the world, and I can't lose you. I would never lose you. When you wake up, I will tell you…'

'I love you.'

/Author's Note. Sorry for the time between chapters. I played Overwatch Beta before the last chapter, and I got continuously stuck in games. (Battlefield Hardline today, Australia time is one example) Also, I have an account on Deviantart, which when I go see my sister in Brisbane next Saturday I will try to get her friend (who's a great artist apparently) to make a comic version of this trilogy. Don't worry, I will continue making this on . I just wanted to make a comic version of this and later sequels.

Disclaimer. I don't own Spyro. Need I say more? No.

Anyway, I'm the Firesword Dragon, and I will see you guys next time! P.s. Thank you for all the love you've given this story! I'm extremely grateful, and I hope to keep impressing you all. Also, check out Ddraigtanto. I made him a followed person on Deviantart as well as here. Please check him out! Also, I think I should have kept that 3000 views goal up. We're pretty much at it and we still have two chapters to go! Well, canon-story wise, since I'm thinking about making a TV show-ish story after the last chapter. Tell what you think.
