The Dark Brother
The Battles (Part One)
Hello everyone of my fellow readers!! I am so sorry I didn't update for a long while, but I was lazy ( please forgive me!) anyways, I would dearly like to thank wishbone the lover of books once again for helping me with a few typing errors. But enough of this talking, let the story continue!
Soon the creature rushed towards Spyro and Cynder with its bark-like arm enlarged and tried to attack them by whipping it at them. They were able to dodge the attack, but were unable to avoid its next attack. The Guardian shot out the petals on his head with precise aim. Its petals were sharp, and with very high speeds, they sliced though Spyro and Cynder's skin. Cynder was cut on the legs and wings, while Spyro was hit mostly on his body and one got him on the cheek. Ignoring the pain, Cynder and Spyro refused to give up. Cynder attacked by slicing the Guardian's head with the metal point on her tail; but unfortunately for them, the attack had no affect on the Guardian. The mark left on its face quickly healed and disappeared.
"Did you see THAT?!" Sparx cried out, shocked.
"Yes I did, Sparx, and that just made me think this thing is going to be a lot harder to defeat then I thought,"
Spyro replied. Spyro decided to blast the Guardian with a surge of earth breath. But all that did was push him back a few yards away, causing him to trip and accidentally fall down with massive force to the floor tiles. As they cracked, one piece flew though the air and lodged itself into the Guardian's bark chest. The Guardian soon got up and gazed at the tile piece attached to his chest. Frantically, he tried to remove it. In doing so, he left himself wide open for attack. Spyro and Cynder used this moment to their advantage. Spyro tried to use lighting, but it only stunned the Guardian for a short moment. Cynder finally did damage by breathing some fire at it. Flames engulfed the guardian's body, and he worked itself into a frenzy trying to get the fire out. The guardian's petals, which had grown back, turned a rotten type of black. The bark that made up its body also turned black. Its bark arms and legs turned to ash and blew away with the slow moving wind. The Guardian fell to the floor, trying to extinguish the fire while contemplating its next attack.
"Spyro, fire can kill this thing with ease! Or at least damage it." Cynder said, observing the effectiveness of her attack.
"Wait!" Sparx cried. "It looks like you could try using ice breath on it, Spyro. It seems as if elemental attacks like fire and ice are harmful to this oversized flower plant thing."
Spyro took Sparx's advice. Just as he was about to attack with ice breath, the Guardian used its next attack. His eyes began to radiate a greenish glow, and before she could notice, a huge green hand swiftly enveloped Cynder and slowly began crushing her to death.
"Cynder!" Spyro screamed. "Why you! No one hurts my friends!
Spyro glared at the Guardian with hatred in his eyes. Normally, he wouldn't be this angry, but when someone threatened any one of his friends; he showed no mercy on his adversary. Without hesitation, he quickly froze the Guardian. In a rage, he mercilessly attacked the Guardian and shattered its frozen form into a million pieces, killing the Guardian and destroying the hand crushing Cynder with melee attacks. Spyro then rushed towards Cynder to check if she was injured.
"You all right?" Spyro asked.
"I'm good enough to walk," Cynder replied, "but I'm out of energy."
Sparx soon joined in the chatting. "Great, but first lets get this crystal and go, before another monster comes. I really don't want to end up someone else's dessert."
"Right," Spyro replied with a smile. He then walked slowly towards the floating crystal. Then, like most of the gems Spyro had collected, it soon moved to him until it orbited him.
Suddenly, before any of them could notice, the same portal that sucked them into this dream like place appeared. But this time, instead of sucking them in forcefully, it just lay there, waiting for them to enter. Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx entered and left this forgotten place.
The Dark Master had just watched the battle end, and with a chuckle, said,
"You have got to be deceiving me. That was the so called 'MIGHTY' Gaurdian? If that was, then seriously, did they even try and make an actually effective Gaurdian? I want to know."
"Ahh, it was not that the Gaurdian was weak. In fact, he was strong enough to obliterate entire settlements. But it was that Spyro was far more powerful. He IS the purple dragon, he reminds me of me….."
"Oh, yes, he does. You two share the same powers, the same blood… speaking about memories, I remember when you were just like him: heroic, good, and loved by all. I also remember the time when we became friends….."
"Yes, I too remember, but enough about memories. Let's see what our little Shadow is doing."
"Be my guest." Both of them smiled with glee in anticipation of the brawl between Shadow and the Jailor……..
So, my first action scene... I hope it was good. I hope you continue reading, and I would like some constructive criticism. Some people hate them, but for me, there a stairway to improvment.
