Chapter three. Evil vs animal.

Slowly Spyro awakened, he was in some sort of cave. He had no idea how long he'd been out but then he noticed Cynder in front of him. He crawled weakly to her side and nuzzled her.

"Cynder are you OK" he nervously asked?

She awoke to and looked at him, confusion in her eyes. " What happened my love were are we"she asked? "Don t know, I just woke up to" he replied.

" I think we should leave before whatever hit us comes back" said Spyro

"Good idea" replied Cynder.

But as they got up they both felt their energy drain so fast they collapsed again. When they looked at each other they saw with shock crystal snakes. They were identical to the first set they wore but these were black, and they seemed to be sucking out their energy.

"Wait those snakes" gasped Cynder

"No, hes gone" gasped Spyro .

Thud thud thud thud.

They looked to the doorway to see none other then Malefor enter. He was escorted by the trolls that had zapped them. He chuckled evilly at them.

"Finally awake I see, good" he sneered.

"How did you get out"Cynder yelled

"We left you trapped in the core of the world" yelled Spyro.

Malefor laughed evilly.

"You didn't think I'd stay in there forever did you? No, I have returned and will continue to bring forth the great cleansing. But I will kill you two first" he said.

The two dragons moved close to each other and held paws, knowing they were to weak to fight. "So are you going to blast us then" ask Spyro. Cynder shut her eyes.

"No, far too easy that way. Right now my snakes are sucking the life out of you. You will die soon enough" Malefor replied with a snarl.

Meanwhile Karson was running along the beach closely chased by the two headed HYDRA. The purple crystal had transported him to this island. He knew he wasn't home anymore cause the island had a mountain too tall for anything on Earth and the animals were to strange. The HYDRA was gaining on him so he had to find a place to hid.

Then to his luck a cave caught his eye. Without hesitating he swerved sharply and headed for it. The HYDRA having no legs skidded and hit a tree but Karson entering the cave didn't go unnoticed.

"You wont get away with this" said Spyro weakly.

"Oh I believe I will, and once you are gone no one dragon or mole can stop me" Malefor laughed.

Then by fate Karson entered the chamber. Gasping but when he saw Malefor he tried to run but a troll stopped him. Malefor glared at him.

"I don't know what you are but you will regret coming in here" snarled Malefor.

"Ive already got one monster chasing me, and it makes you and your friends here look friendly. So I don't need your trouble" Karson said angrily realizing it could talk.

"Friendly huh? Well what are you being chased by" ask Malefor fiercely?

But then as if answering, the troll at the entrance roared in pain. All looked to see the HYDRA coiled around it one head bitting its thigh, the other bitting its neck. Then with a sickening crack the troll fell to the ground dead. It turned its attention to Malefor knowing who was better prey. It barred its fanges.

"Kill it" Malefor ordered to the other troll.

The troll banged its chest and charged. Knowing its like the last one, made of earth, the HYDRA swung its spike tipped tail at the troll. It nailed it right in the left temple of the skull. The HYDRA flung it away and slithered toward Malefor hissing.

"I don't know what you are but prepare to lose your heads" said Malefor charging a fireball.

"NO" yelled Karson. But he had already fired,not at the HYDRA but at the ceiling. Two huge rocks fell and severed off the HYDRA'S heads.

"Well I have to admit that monster of yours was impressive but still easy" he laughed

Karson yelled "you idiot you made it stronger."

Malefor laugh but then stopped as the HYDRA sprouted four hissing, snarling heads from the two bloody stumps. He screamed in rage and fire ice but the HYDRA swatted it with its tail, sending ice right into Malefors wings, ripping them. He yelled in pain.

"How dare you, I will..." he yelled again as one of the heads bit down on his neck. The HYDRA was all over Malefor now. He tried to claw but to heads seized his arms and ripped them clean off. Blood flew everywhere as he was ripped apart by the heads

Cynder and Spyro watched horror struck as this thing killed their worst enemy easily. Something that they could never do this thing did so quickly. Then the black snakes around their necks shattered like the last ones and their strength slowly started to return.

"He sure is strong"said Cynder.

"Ya, I sure am glad hes on our side" said Spyro but the cave began to collapse.

Karson ran over to them and said "If you two are friendly come with me I know the way out."

"But what about your friend, we cant leave him" said Cynder pointing to the feasting HYDRA.

"That monster is not my friend now come on" yelled Karson.

"But he saved us from Malefor" said Spyro.

"That thing is nothing but an animal. He killed him to eat and he'll eat us next. Oh forget it." Karson grabbed them both under his arms. They were to weak to resist but they still were protesting. They got out while the HYDRA stayed to feast on Malefors bloody remains.
