Sorry it's been so long guys. School started back and got distracted by random stuff. Enjoy

Chapter Seven

Jet looked around and found himself in a cave that was completely bare except for a few torches lining the walls. Around the circular chamber, several tunnels could be seen going on forever.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" he shouted. His voice echoed several times before he finally got an answer.

"Only us Jet."

He turned around to see a large adult dragon with a red body and silver chest. He had two silver horns that were shaped similar to Spyro's. On his tail was a fierce looking blade in the shape of a single flame, and looked about as sharp as Cynder's. Vicious silver spikes ran from the back of his neck to his tail. He looked about as old as the guardians.

"Who are you and how do you know me?" Jet asked.

"I am someone who needs your help." The red dragon said blankly. "I need dragons with massive power from each element, and you are the strongest shadow dragon I've ever seen."

"You've been watching me?" Jet said as he backed away a little.

"My name is Flare, and I had my wyverns keep an eye on you for me, along with Spyro, Cynder, and the others."

"So you try to ask for our help by attacking me and my friends?"

"It may have been unneeded but I had to know how strong all of you are. I wish to bring back my older brother Ignitus. I'm sure you have heard of him before." Flare said as he began to circle the shadow dragon. "So will you help me?"

Jet thought for a second. He only knew Ignitus from what Cynder had told him.

"What would I have to do?" he asked.

"Not much really, I just need a massive amount of power from each element and your dark powers put you far ahead of any normal shadow dragon. We need to have all of the energy stored in one person who can hold it all at once, which leaves us with only a few choices; Spyro, Cynder, or myself." The red dragon said with a smirk.

"You said I'm the strongest shadow dragon you've seen. So there's more than just me and Cynder left?"

"There are a few, but none quite as strong as you." Flare answered. "They made their own city, though not as incredible as Warfang. It is completely filled with dragons that use the three dark elements, mostly shadow."

"I bet anywhere would be better than Warfang right about now…" Jet said in a barely audible voice. "With that army on the way, it will be ruins in just a few days."

"You mean that small army of grublins?" Flare asked, almost cracking a smile.

"What do you mean small? There are thousands of them!"

"All grublins are extremely weak on their own, cause a little chaos and you can easily win." Flare said as he walked toward Jet.

"With Spyro and Cynder in the fight, how would you lose to anything? You seemed capable of taking out my own battalion fairly easily."

"I died! How is it easy if I get killed?" Jet roared, surprising both Flare and himself.

"Yes but you were lucky enough to have that young white dragoness with you. That is what you need to exploit if you want to win. Tell me, what do you think of her power?" the red dragon asked with a grin that Jet failed to notice.

"Well it's weird for sure, but it saved me so I like it. But I'm not going to use Casille like that. She's been through a lot already."

"If you don't use everything to your advantage, how do you expect to live when they are done with Warfang? They will come for Avalar next. But enough, are you going to help me or not?"

"I won't. There are just too many things that don't fit. How is it you can control wyverns? Also, what do you really want with all of that power? I was told Ignitus was an only child."

Almost as soon as Jet finished his sentence, Flare smacked him in the face with his tail, making him roll until he hit the wall. He put one paw on Jet's neck and opened his maw. Jet could see a mass of fire building in the back of the red dragon's throat, but it kept getting brighter until it did not resemble fire at all. There was a flash of white light followed by an extreme pain.

He looked around and saw he was back at the hut near Avalar. He saw Casille sitting beside the bed with a worried look.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

Jet fell back down on the bed and stared at the ceiling before answering. "Yeah, I'll be fine." He replied quietly.

"What happened?"

"It was just a bad dream. Sorry I woke you up." He said before rolling over on his side to go back to sleep.

"Not until you tell me what happened. You can sleep afterwards." She said as she jumped on him.

Jet laughed, finally out of the shock the nightmare had caused, and told her every detail.

"Don't worry Jet, it was just a nightmare right? Besides, nobody could beat you that easily." she said with her normally sweet and caring tone.

"That's not true. There are two legends living right next door that could both tear me limb from limb if they wanted. I'll just have to try staying on their good side." Jet smiled.

"Speaking of them, they came by a while ago. They need to put Cynder's training off for a while and help Spyro control his dark power so it doesn't take over again."

"Trying to help the world's strongest dragon suppress an even stronger power, sounds like fun." He smirked before putting his wings around the mist dragoness. "I guess I'll talk to them in the morning." He pulled Casille closer and they both went back to sleep.

Not the best i know but I'm already working on chapter 8 so it shouldn't take as long... i hope.
