Chapter 5: Convexity's Power

Twilight's eyes began to shift in color and at that moment Sunflare launched a stream of fire at the purple dragon. The colors in the dragon's eyes faded as he was struck. Rex roared wildly and threw himself into the fray. Rex ran towards Spyro with his horn lowered, ready to pierce him. Ray got in front of Spyro and Rex's horn hit his metal armor, but was deflected off. A small dent was all that Rex accomplished. Ray opened his mouth and a blast of earth energy flew out striking Rex, throwing him back a good distance.

Rosa joined and dove at Ray. Ray glared and swung his metal tail at her. The metal connected with her side throwing her against a tree. T9 fired two lasers from his eyes, which hit Ray's armor, doing little to it, but more of an irritation purpose. Ray turned to face T9 and fired a pair of missiles at T9. T9 roared as he took the blows, also doing very little to his armor. T9 responded by letting the two chest plates separate and fired a pair of lava streams that lasted for a second. Ray managed to avoid one of the streams but the second one caught his left foreleg.

The lava rolled over his armor doing nothing but singeing the metal, but the purpose of the lava was to make its way in through the joints of the armor, which it was doing. Lava touched his scales and Ray felt the burning feeling. Luckily due to the installation of the armor most of his nerves were dead and so the pain he was feeling from the lava was a lot less painful as it would be if his nerves weren't so numb or dead. The smell of burnt scales and flesh now filled the air and T9 smiled knowing that he had injured his opponent.

Ray unleashed a strong gust of wind on the area where the lava was at, which blew the lava out of his armor. Ray continued using his gust until it grew to become a cyclone. The cyclone raged towards T9 who held his ground. The cyclone enveloped him and he saw this as a perfect chance to catch Ray off guard and fired another stream of lava. The lava stream though was picked up by the cyclone's strong winds and threw them about inside the cyclone covering T9 in his own attack.

The lava began to work its way into the joints and began to touch his scales and the pain shot threw him. His nerves weren't as numbed as Ray's and so T9 roared in pain. The cyclone died down and T9 was rolling on the ground to get the lava out, but had no success.

By this point Moonicus and Pika joined Spyro and Sunflare who were holding off Twilight, Rex, and Rosa. Spyro dove at Twilight and swung his tail at him. Twilight dodged the attack and used his power.

His eyes began to turn different colors and Spyro suddenly found himself surrounded by wolves. They growled at him and flashed their fangs. One lunged at him, but he swiftly evaded it and swiped his claws at it, but they passed through the creature without drawing blood or fur. As his claws hit it, it burst into smoke. Spyro was completely confused at this. He had no time to think though since he felt claws enter his back.

Spyro roared and threw his horns back, connecting with whatever attacked him. As suddenly as the wolves appeared they all disappeared and Spyro turned to find Twilight on the ground with a bloody shoulder. Spyro had enough of these Black Claw assassins and tapped into his Convexity energy.

Spyro's eyes glowed purple as the energy began to flow through him. Spyro quickly shot a beam of Convexity at Twilight. The other purple dragon just barely dodged the lethal beam and realized the power Spyro had brought to bear.

"Pull back, we can't win this one," Twilight shouted as he fled towards the hills a few miles off.

Rosa followed quickly while Rex looked confused and grabbed T9 before leaving. The four Aquamarines looked at Spyro with amazement. Spyro cut the flow of energy and he slowly returned to normal.

Moonicus said, "Well I take back what I said. I hope I'm not ever on your bad side."

Spyro looked like he had a horrible headache and slowly said, "You'll never have to worry about being on my bad side. I have control over this power unlike when I was younger. I can discern friend from foe."

"So because you are purple you have that power?" Pika asked.

"Yes," Spyro replied.

"Why couldn't I be purple colored?" Pika complained, "A pretty color with an awesome power, how perfect."

Spyro rolled his eyes and Sunflare chuckled as he told everyone that it was time to go. They took off flying fast and hard to put as much distance between them and the Black Claws.

Around noon they spotted the Shadow again. Moonicus and Ray flew low to the ground while Spyro, Sunflare, and Pika remained at a higher altitude to keep a watch on their prey.

Ray and Moonicus were closing on the Shadow, only a few hundred more feet and Ray would be able to tag it. A few moments later ray fired the small tracker and it flew towards the target. It passed right through the Shadow and embedded itself into the ground before it. Ray and Moonicus pulled up and rejoined their comrades without realizing that the tracker didn't hit its mark.

The Shadow faded away and was gone. Ray noticed that on the radar the Shadow wasn't moving and was still being picked up. They landed to investigate the matter and found that the tracker failed to attach itself to the target.

"Darn it," Sunflare huffed.

Ray pulled the tracker out of the ground and placed it back into the storage compartment.

"Ignitus told me that this thing that we are tracking is an illusion summoned by a shadow dragon," Spyro said.

"You tell us this now?" Pika groaned.

"I thought Ignitus told you guys when he hired you," Spyro explained.

"He didn't inform us of that detail," Moonicus said calmly.

"Let's keep moving," Sunflare said, "It's obvious that we must track it by sight so we should start moving to find it again."

They took to the air again, but that day bore no more fruits. They stopped as the sun was setting to rest for the night.

The Black Claws stopped to make camp once the sun began to set. Rosa, Rex, and T9 were preparing to get some rest when Rosa noticed that Twilight was leaving the camp.

Rosa shouted, "Twilight where are you going?"

Twilight turned around his eyes glowing a deep red, "To create some chaos."

"You ok there Ray?" Moonicus asked, "I saw that you got hit with some of T9's lava."

"Yeah," Ray responded, "My leg is just burned, but it will heal in time."

"I can't believe you got hit with something like that Ray," Pika laughed.

"You try dodging lava in this armor," Ray replied, "You weigh a ton."

"Well that's what you get for wearing armor," Pika said in an irritating tone.

"I don't wear this as armor," Ray told her, "This is me now. I can't remove the armor without dying."

"I do like this armor though I can do this to you," Pika said as a small bolt of electricity jumped from her claws to Ray's metal body.

Ray began to shake and twitch while growling in paining. The shaking and twitching died down a few moments later and Moonicus chuckled to himself.

"Here is where it gets good," Moonicus whispered to Spyro.

"What the heck was that for?" Ray growled as he began to develop a headache.

"It's fun," Pika replied innocently.

"For you," Ray replied getting angry, "I'm gonna get fried circuits from that."

"Well you are still moving," she pointed out.

"Well another one of those and I may not be able to move," Ray argued.

Moonicus whispered, "I told you these were pretty fun to watch."

"You were right," Spyro replied, "I'm going to see Sunflare for a minute. I'll be back."

"Have fun talking," Moonicus said.

Spyro made his way over to the leader of the Aquamarines and sat a few feet away from him.

"That was quite a display of power today," Sunflare commented.

"Yeah," Spyro replied, "I hate using Convexity though."

"Why is that?" Sunflare asked.

"It's fueled by my hate and anger," Spyro answered.

Sunflare nodded, "That's what my father told me about it. 'The ultimate power one can possess.' I never was that interested in that. I was more interested in finding someone that would be a friend, someone that actually cared about me. That's another reason why my father didn't like me."

"It must be hard to have to grow up in a situation like that," Spyro said, "I never knew who my parents were. I always wondered and wanted to know, but that will never happen. I was raised by dragonflies, but they aren't around anymore. I like you was looking for someone to care for me. Ignitus fulfilled that role in my youth, but now Ember has that job and I'm glad that she has."

"It's nice to have someone you love," Sunflare stated, "It makes your life have meaning even if you haven't done anything important in your life like me."

Spyro nodded knowing that it was true.
