Avalar's Redemption Ch 11
Disclaimers: I do not own any of the Spyro canon characters, they respectfully belong to Sierra.
Whispering to each other, "Let's take it slow, no swords first." We agreed.
"Terrador, what is your hardest training regiment?"
"If you two are sure, then let me start it up."
Terrador then heads for the control panel, signaling the rest to follow him.
"Now, the dummies are programmed to stop when someone is injured and cannot continue, for everyone's safety. Are you two ready?"
Upon shaking our heads, metal clanks could be heard from the controls.
First out was 40 apes, 10 archers, and a commander that resembled Gaul, with his swords in hand.
"Mabey we should mix in hand to hand with swordsmanship." Zunde stated, looking at the ambush senario that was set in place.
"Just remember, watch each others backs." I said after picking my targets. "Go for the archers when possible, push back the Gaul dummy when needed be."
Right as we took our first step, the dummies broke into a charge after us, with the archers being covered by Gaul.
Dodging everything like mad, "S-, I never liked it when enemies used ranged weps." I said as an arrow whizzed by my face, while dodging swords while heading along towards the archers.
As were neared the first archer, he pulled out his blade and readied a defensive stance.
"Alright, let's see if he knows how to use it."
As I struck with my arm towards his chest, he slashed at my arm downwards. Predicting that he go for the bait, I changed the direction of my blow to his head, landing a solid uppercut, dazing him backwards while spinning around for a roundhouse kick to his chest. Upon the blow, he dropped his short sword and flew into the crowd of swordsman dummies behind him.
Picking up his sword, I quickly deflected an arrow and tossed the blade at the shooter, killing him.
"Zunde, how you faring?"
"Alright I guess" as he dodges an arrow and swords."This is getting old, let's just stop toying around with them and not waste anyone's time."
"I hear ya, fighting is getting boring, especially after months of it."
After meeting back on the edge of the battlefield, we drew our swords, just itchin to get some relaxation time.
As the mob was upon us, blow after blow was deflected and countered back with a lethal blow, mist forming up into the air every body that was felled by our blades.
Around 20 seconds later, the only one left standing was the Gaul dummy.
"Shall you handle him or shall I?" Questioned Zunde.
Practically yelling, growing a tad dark, "I will handle this, I want to make this thing suffer, as the real Gaul should of, putting Cynder through what he and Malefor made her do!", yelling while charging straight at Gaul, sword left next to Zunde, dropping to the floor with a heavy clank.
Upon hearing an seeing me charge straight at the Gaul dummy, Cynder was shocked as she saw what she last saw in Mt. Malefor, Spyro charging at Gaul the same exact way, having somewhat a dark aura around him, anger evident in his eyes.
In 3 seconds, I was upon the dummy, tearing out his arms and legs, slowly beating him to a pulp, not holding anything back, showing all signs of rage built-up and releasing through my fists.
In a total of 5 seconds later, I had obliterated the dummy, showing no signs of fatigue or injury. After slowly walking back to Zunde, I picked up my sword and belted it, saying, "I've been meaning to do that for a long time but no one really gave me the chance. I am just glad Gaul fell to Cynder and Spyro, before he could unleash anymore evil deeds throughout the dragon lands."
Walking up to the guardians with Zunde, we were met with jaws dropped, including Hunter. "My word, I don't believe I've ever seen such a display of skill and agility before." Cyril said, eyes wide.
Zunde laughs, "heh, you haven't seen much yet, the most challenging part was not trying to be bored and keep some techniques for later, otherwise we won't have the same ground in a scrimmage match that are sure to come."
Replying to Zunde's comment to the group, "Ain't that the truth, I'm just glad that workout wasn't as bad as my duels with you, otherwise we be here for about 2-3 hours."
As the guardians stepped out of earshot to discuss a few things, Sparx seemed out of it.
"Remind me not to get him angry" Sparx said to Spyro.
Looking towards Sparx, "Oh, you will. Speaking of which, I have a bone to pick with you." I said as I walked up to Sparx.
"What have I done to you?" Sparx replied, gulping as I stopped in front of him.
"Oh, its not what you have done to me, but you will in the future. I'm talking about the way you treat Cynder, always calling her evil, threatening her, and bringing up the terror of the skies label. If you don't lay off that, I'll give you something to fear." I stated in a darkened tone.
Sparx flies behind Spyro's left horn, crying, "mommy!"
Becoming infuriated, "Oh, and Sparx, you need to stop hiding behind Spyro, if you keep up what your doing everyday, I can guarantee that they will all shun you, avoid you like the terror of the skies. The way I see it, you are the only terror of the skies here." I said with mild anger in my voice.
"Sparx, he's right, you need to take responsibility for your actions and act more mature. You don't think it hurts me and Cynder every time you "voice" your opinions about her past, and not what she is now?" Spyro said in a saddened tone.
Laughing a little dark, "Trust me Spyro, I won't let it happen, I'll make him go through a correction regiment, wether he likes it or not if he doesn't straighten up", pointing to the cornered dragonfly.
"How exacually are you going to make me go through with it?" Sparx asks hesitantly.
Laughing a sinister snicker, "Trust me, yours is an easy case. I'm already drawing up plans for the correction classes for the rebellious young ones in Warfang Academy, the guardians already approved me on working up the plans for them. You want me to ask them if I should work on one for you?" I said, looking at him with an evilish grin.
Sparx looks over to the guardians who are busy talking among themselfs, seeming to agree on how well me and Zunde performed on our demonstration.
"Well, I shouldn't keep the guardians waiting for my decision for my plans just for you..." I told him, an evil grin plastered on my face as I slowly made my way to the guardians.
"Waaaait!" Sparx cried, nearly alerting the guardians.
Slowly turning around, "Oh, so now you want to act serious... You know Sparx, I really do want to help you. My little brother acted just like you are now, always talking, always hurting others with his tone of voice and language, wether-or-not it was on purpose." I said in a saddened tone.
"What happened to your brother?" Sparx and Spyro asked, hint of dread in their voices.
Taking in a slow and deep breath, "We eventually grew apart, we were once inseparable, till the point where his language and behavior went for a turn for the worst. We had seen each other time and time again, but he eventually joined the military, fighting for our country, defending it from the terrorists before all the madness started. What became of him, I don't know, but I know he isn't mad for power right now, wherever he is." I said, slowly looking down.
"I'm so sorry, I'm sure he's out there somewhere in your world, trying to watch over himself and find a safe haven to live." Cynder said, deeply saddened at my loss.
As our small settlement was argued about Sparx's behavior, the guardians made their way over to us, with Volteer still running that electric mouth of his.
"...and I do presume that we should adjourn to the guardians chamber do discuss matters in private."
