After the battle at the well of souls. Spyro would be engulfed by the well of souls. Cynder would jump to try and save Spyro from being corrupted but before she could an ape knocked her out of the well of souls starts shaking wildly a massive explosion of dark energy erupts from it sending a wave all across the world waking up creatures of pure and utter darkness. Dracoliches the skeletal dragons of the past dark masters and dragons throughout the ages now to obey the commands of the newest dark master. Cynder looks up as Spyro's bright purple scales have now darkened the gold being darker, with spikes on his shoulders and glowing white eyes, his size being tall as Malefor, his tail spike sharper than ever, his claws as sharp as knives.
Cynder looks at him with tears and flys off,Spyro roars with the force of thunder. While Cynder is flying a dark dragon swoops into cynder hitting her hard in the head rendering her unconscious as he grabs her and flys her to his house chaining her up in a room filled with other female dragons of all different sizes and ages. Collared and chained so they could not escape. The male leaves the room as the only light allowing them to see is that of the torches on the wall. A little dragon cries as shes only an orphan but she's scared of being hurt as Cynder awakens looking at the little one and reasures her everything will be alright. The sun falls and the moon rises the only sound heard other then the little dragon's whimpers of fear, would be crickets until a massive crash interupts the silence as the sounds of fighting are heard upstairs.
The slave driver is tackled through the door by a white and gold dragon. He slashes the chains off the females using his claws and shouts "Sis get these girls out of here!". Apocolytha nods "got it" she says. Using her energy as a portal opens under each of the females who were captured as they were sent to the head quarters, led by Flare and Vengence the parents of Excellion,Apocolytha and their little girls appear in the temple they see Flare. "Welcome ladies to our sanctuary it is safe here and 3084 miles from danger,and Welcome to you Cynder daughter of darkness". Cynder looks up at her "hello and thank you miss" the portals open as Excellion and Apocolytha pop through and walk over as Flare speaks."Great job my kids you saved another group from The dark master slave driver".
Excellion looks at Cynder his white and gold scales glimmering in the light of the chandelier his horns like Cynders but razor sharp forming almost a crown shape and smaller, his tail spike like a trident with 3 scythe blades forming the 3 points,his wing bones on the exterior sharpened to cut through most material if needed. His sister Apocolytha has a single tail spike almost like Spyro's but on the edges are two curved out hook points like a scythe her wings narrow and thin to allow her into narrow flying spaces allowing her a swift and speedy flight as her horns are exactly like Cynder's but a little thinner.
Ragnarok their little brother comes out from behind their father Vengence as his tail was like a mace made out of scythes his wings broad but his horns almost like spyro's but curved around almost forming a helment, his scales red and black. The Mother also known as Flare her scales are red and pink with a tail almost like a sword narrow and sharp. While their father Vengence has black scales with a green underbelly, his tail like a massive scythe that has been serrated as she looks upon the saved females.
Flare looks to all of the saved female dragons " Your all welcome to stay if you like there will be food for all of you and plenty of rooms". The females all chat upon themselves as Cynder looks at them. "Thank you very much ma'am we'll take you upon your kind offer and stay". They move to the dining hall. A Light purple and black underbelly dragon was setting the table her horns are exactly like Cynders, as the scales running up her back are hot pink and black, her tail spike a heart with a hallowed line in it allowing it to open and close at will as its sharp like a knife.
Flare speaks, "Everyone this is KatAleena our kitchen cooking and baking expert". Kataleena looks upon all the rescued females with her sky blue eyes as she speaks softly but kindly."Welcome everyone dinner will be done in a few hours". She walks back to the kitchen instructing the other cooks kindly as she works on something special for all of them. Apocolytha heads to the library to study, Excellion sits down relaxing,and Ragnarok still only being a little dragon goes to the new females and sniffs them to learn their scents as he loves to sniff things. Vengence looks to Flare and speaks."Intellegence tells me a new darkness has arisen they've been seeing skeletal dragons soar the skies all heading towards one point'. Flare looks at him and whispers. "The well of souls?". Vengence nods and looks at the rescued females "We must keep them safe".
Cynder walks around and follows Apocolytha to the library as she looks it is massive 90x the size of the biggest library in warfang. Cynder grabs a book covered in purple runes as she reads it. The book being about the secrets of the well of souls written by Lythos and Mythos as she reads she learns that any who fall into the well of souls becomes the new dark master and that the only way to save them is to either kill them or have them break the curse them selves by touching their heart with one they truely care about. Apocolytha looks at cynder," Your reading the journal of Mythos and Lythos when they journeyed to the well of souls, and learned the secret when the very first dark master arose. Maltheater and the things he did tore the world apart dividing the first guardians into war. The guardians before Ignitus, Cyril, Volteer, and Terrador their ancestors were at war cause of the things Maltheator did and if we don't end the new one who has rissen we will all die as the new ones will fight no one will be able to stop the destruction of the world".
Cynder looks at her as her eyes are about to start shedding tears."I can't end him that is Spyro and I love him". Apocolytha looks at her. "I'm sorry cynder but the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, and you need to prioritize the values of everyones lives against the one you love". Cynder looks at her about to cry. "But I can't do it, I can't hurt him. Maybe I can make him reconnect to who he truely is". Apocolytha looks at her. "You can try but if it fails he'll have to be taken out so I hope your prepared when you are ready I'll take you to him and you can try your plan". Cynder nods as the dinner bell rings as they all head downstairs. "I am Apocolytha Mavros and its great to meet you Cynder I hope your plan works". Cynder looks at her with hope in her eyes. "I know it will work it just has too".
Mean while in Warfang a mass hysteria breaks out as Dracoliches and the new dark master Spyro. Once known as the great dragon every one hoped would save them now turned into a dark master like Malefor. As they start destroying the cities, the Guardians try to halt their advances by uniting their attacks to hopefully stop them. It all ended in vain as Spyro blasts each of them out of the air with ease as the Dracoliches destroy buildings, looking for females to form the dark masters breeders so he will have a mass growing army of dragons. Once they have captured enough they left as Spyro destroys the Guardian's tower and flies off.
When the time comes to form the mass growing army of the dark master as Terrador looks at the other guardians." We have failed my friends our hopes have burdened the young dragon weve trained into the new threat and with him growing more powerful so do his forces. We need to get help or the world as I fear it is doomed ". Ignitus looks at them. " Your right he must be stopped before this gets out of hand and ends the world. Volteer head to the East look for help, Cyril you take the North, Terrador you take South and I'll take West. We must stop spyro at all costs ". They nod and take off to the four core directions of the world to find help as Spyro lands back in the well of souls to look upon the females that were captured by his forces as they all tremble in fear scared of what will happen to them.
Back in the Mavros tower every one is eating and conversating between eachother as Excellion, Apocolytha and Cynder are all talking about their plan. "One week from now we'll try cynders plan and hopefully snap spyro out of it but till then we need to train and grow stronger other wise we will be wiped out" says Apocolytha. They all nod and finish eating before heading to the training chambers to train for the week ahead.
-One Week Later-
Excellion wakes up from his bed as he stretches and steps out of his room silently to not wake up his brother as he goes to Cynders and Apocolythas room and gently opens the door and nudges them awake before talking to them. "Today is the day we put cynders plan into action. Cynder are you ready?". Cynder nods " Lets save Spyro ". Apocolytha smiles and uses her breath power of spacial energy to open a portal as they all hop through and land at the well of souls base chamber. They look around as there are hundreds of nests each filled with eggs being warmed by a great fire. Cynder looks terrified hoping that this isn't Spyros doing as they see a bunch of females in a circle surrounding Spyro. Cynder whimpers and steps over them and looks at Spyro.
"Tell me you didn't do this show me there is still part of you that is the dragon that I fell in love with". Spyros eyes open they narrow as he growls seeing her as any bit of Spyro that was left in that darkened shell was not enough to break free as she jumps back. He charges up a ball of dark plasma,and fires a direct beam of it at the trio. Apocolytha opens a portal last second sending the blast into a grove of trees as he roars loudly not only waking up the females who have born his army but also fell under his control, they all rush at the trio as Excellion prepares to attack, Apocolytha stops him. "NO Excellion! They're still normal females and hurting them would ruin what we fight for". He nods as they take off and fly into a new portal back to the tower. Cynder lays back in her bed crying, "w...we failed h...he isnt in there".
Apocolytha looks at her and hugs her as Excellion punches the wall and walks out to the pool of visions and looks deep into it." Give us a way we can stop this threat,If spyro isn't stopped the world will end". The pool of visions glow as the Chronicler shows himself. " Excellion Spyro has been absorbed by the well of souls there is no way to save him except one he must retrieve my powers as I need to proclaim him my successor one with my powers should be able to stop him and if I grant him my powers the light and darkness should seperate bringing him back and turning the darkness into its own form ". Excellion nods "But you'd have to come here and fight Spyro". The Chronicler nods. "I'll be there in four weeks time and hopefully this works". Excellion sighs. " I hope so cause if this doesn't work we are all doomed ".
