That's right! I couldn't wait to do this final battle! So here it is! I hope you all enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Spryo characters or the games. I don't own Stitch and Pikachu. I do own Matt, my human OC, and Malchoir.
Malchoir had been hovering at the top of the mountain, putting the finishing touches on his plan. All that was needed now was for his brother to finish off the Keyblader…
After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, Malchoir wondered what was taking the Heartless so long. He knew the Keyblader was strong, but he was no match for his true self. Was he? He had sensed another energy come into range…but he didn't take it too seriously.
While he had been waiting, the Nobody decided to observe his dark army siege the city of Warfang. The citizens were holding their own, but they wouldn't hold out forever. He knew the Heartless given to him by the Organization would see to that. There was one thing that concerned Malchoir though…
The Keyblader's companions…what were they doing there? That witch Zendrix was supposed to have gotten rid of them. She must have been too confident in her own abilty…how foolish...He would dispose of them shortly anyway. It wouldn't be long now before he would be ready…
Spyro and Cynder hurried as fast as they could to find Malchoir. While they weren't completely sure where he was, Spyro had a good idea to where he might be. While he had been under his Heartless's control, it kept thinking on how it had to hurry up and get to the top of the mountain.
"Spyro," Cynder spoke up when they were nearly there.
"What is it?"
"Well…I was just thinking…is this really happening to us again?"
"I was thinking the same thing," Spyro said.
"We don't even know what Malchoir's capable of…"
"Matt said he was part of me…so he'll probably be like Malefor…" Spyro narrowed his eyes. "But that doesn't mean he's unbeatable."
"Right. Let's do this!"
Their flight continued on until they reached the very top. They tried to sense Malchoir, but were having trouble locating him. Hovering in midair, Spyro and Cynder began to get anxious.
"Are you sure he's here, Spyro?" Cynder asked.
"I think so," Spyro replied. "Malchoir! We know you're here! Show yourself!"
An evil cackle then was heard in the background by both dragons. They readied themselves in defense.
Suddenly, they both sensed a strong energy coming from behind them.
"Look out!" Spyro yelled. He and Cynder barely flew out of the way of a powerful energy attack. They turned in time to see eye-to-eye with their foe.
"How unfortunate," Malchoir spoke. "Tell me, Spyro. How did you manage to break free of my brother's control? I could sense he was in complete control when we last met." For some reason, he remained calm.
"You don't know, Malchoir?" Spyro said. "Cynder and Matt saved me from that monster! The light of their hearts has given me new hope. Something you couldn't possibly understand…"
"It's over!" Cynder yelled. "You have no one left to hide behind! You're going to pay for what you've done!"
"Why, Malchoir?" Spyro asked. "What are you trying to do?"
The Nobody chuckled. "I'm only trying to do what those before us couldn't do…create a new world. A better world."
"Spare us the lecture," Cynder said.
"We won't let you overrun our world with these things," Spyro said. He then decided to try to reason with the Nobody. "You say you're a part of me, Malchoir. Maybe I can help you…but you have to stop this. Destroying this world won't solve anything."
"Don't waste your breath," Malchoir chided. "I may be your shadow, Spyro…but I have made it my purpose to do what is best for all of the dragon kind."
"You're not even a dragon! You're nothing!" Cynder yelled.
"We'll just see about that. I will only say this once," Malchoir said. "Stay out of my way or die!"
"Never!" Spyro and Cynder said together.
"Then meet your doom!" With that, Malchoir disappeared in a cloud of shadows. He moved so quickly, that Spyro and Cynder couldn't prepare themselves for what happened next. The Nobody appeared behind them and unleashed a dark lightning attack that struck them both, causing them to cry in pain.
Malchoir wasn't done yet, though. He moved even faster and appeared next to the two dragons in an instant. He grabbed them both by the throats and began to choke the life out of them.
Spyro tried to break free, but like before Malchoir was just too strong. He couldn't use his powers with his windpipe constricted. He slowly felt himself slip into unconsciousness.
Cynder was having problems as well. However, she was able to convert herself to shadow and escape Malchoir's grip. "Spyro!" she yelled in horror. She tried to use her claws and teeth to break him free, but to no avail. None of her powers would make the Nobody's grip loosen either. "NO!!!"
Malchoir laughed at the top of his lungs. "That's right…," he bellowed. "Soon, no one will be able to stop me…"
Spyro tried to say Cynder's name, but he couldn't even breathe. It couldn't be ending like this. He couldn't leave her alone… Cynder…no…I'm sorry…
"I DON'T THINK SO!!" A voice suddenly said out of nowhere.
Malchoir hadn't sensed or seen it coming. A great power was surging towards him faster than he could comprehend. All of a sudden, a force cut into his back so hard that he loosened his grip on Spyro.
Spyro didn't hesitate. He escaped and immediately countered with a powerful fire attack to Malchoir's face. The Nobody grunted with the blows.
"Spyro!" Cynder yelled happily. They flew next to each other in disbelief. "Who could've done that?"
"It can't be…could it be?" Spyro's eyes widened in shock.
Malchoir felt his wound on his back. There was only one weapon that could do that to him. He looked up to see it's owner before him. "You?!" he yelled.
"Matt?!" Spyro and Cynder yelled. They couldn't believe their eyes.
The Keyblader smiled. Somehow, he was floating in mid-air next to his friends, yet his appearance hadn't changed a bit.
"You didn't think I'd sit this one out, did you Malchoir?" Matt asked.
"How is this possible?" Malchoir was dumbfounded.
"Malchoir!" Matt yelled. "I'm here to finish this, and I've got just the thing to do it!" He held out his weapon.
Malchoir, Spyro, and Cynder gasped. Normally, Matt's blade was shaped exactly like a key. This blade was definitely different. Above the handle was the head of a dragon, with a long black blade protruding from its mouth. Two black wings were engraved on the side of the blade. A small dragon head keychain was dangling from the bottom of the handle as well.
"That's right…the Dragon's Fury Keyblade!" Matt yelled. "This weapon was given to me by the ancestors as a gift for helping Spyro, and it's been waiting to be awakened just for you, Malchoir."
"How are you even up here?" Spyro asked. "You don't even have wings!"
"Did I forget to mention that this blade allows me the ability to fly?" Matt replied. "Face it, Malchoir! You're finished!"
"It doesn't really matter what kind of help those fools give you, human!" Malchoir yelled. "You will not stop me from fulfilling my destiny!"
"We'll see about that!" Matt turned to Spyro and Cynder. "Let's give him everything we've got!"
"You got it!" Spyro replied.
"Let's do this!" Cynder added.
The three charged straight for the Nobody…
"What's going on?" Hunter asked.
"They stopping!" Stitch yelled.
"Huh?" Pikachu asked.
The battle had been long and grueling for the citizens of Warfang. For some reason, though, the Heartless waves suddenly stopped. They were frozen in their tracks.
"Hurrah!" One citizen said. "They're finally retreating!"
Several townspeople began to hoop and holler in what seemed like victory, but Stitch and Pikachu weren't going to celebrate just yet…
"Pikachu feel that?"
"Yeah. Something's different!"
"Stitch! Pikachu!" Hunter yelled. He jumped down from his post. "I have a feeling this isn't over yet. These things don't quit that easily…"
"Eh, something off!" Stitch said.
"But what?" Pikachu asked. "If Malchoir is the one controlling them all…"
"Maybe his attention is elsewhere…," Hunter said while rubbing his chin.
"Matt!" Stitch and Pikachu yelled.
The battle against Malchoir was going well for Matt and the others. Feeling rejuvenated, Spyro and Cynder were flying around at high speeds all over Malchoir. The Nobody had them in size, but not in speed. The two used their attacks in moderation all over Malchoir to great extends. The Nobody couldn't counterattack with his attention divided.
Meanwhile, Matt was also giving the Nobody problems as he was able to glide quickly as well. His Dragon's Fury blade did incredible amounts of damage whenever he slashed into Malchoir's body. While he focused on Malchoir's chest, Spyro and Cynder kept his attention by attacking his head.
Malchoir knew he was running out of time. If this kept up, then he was finished for sure. He would have to put his plan into action sooner than expected.
"ENOUGH!" Malchoir used an excess amount of dark energy within him to emit a shadow pulse from his body. It was so powerful, that it sent Matt, Spyro, and Cynder flying away from him. Luckily, all three of them managed to regain their balance.
"You think you have me beaten?" Malchoir asked. "Think again!" Suddenly, his body began to glow in an even deeper shade of purple. His eyes were also glowing to a hot white.
"What is he doing?" Cynder asked.
"Malchoir! Stop this!" Matt yelled. "You can't win!"
"I beg to differ, fool!" the Nobody yelled. His voice had lowered even further to an even colder tone. "I have been gathering the darkness of hearts in this world this whole time. My power knows no end!"
"What?!" Spyro asked.
"Oh boy…," Matt whispered.
"If I cannot rule this world, I shall be the one to end it myself! And I'm planning to take you fools with me!"
"NO!" The three yelled.
"That's right! Now prepare to meet your end!" Malchoir raised his body. All the darkness within him seemed to pour out. The energy gathered into a ball that grew larger and larger with each passing second. Soon, it would be enough to destroy the world itself, taking everyone with it…and the whole time Malchoir laughed uncontrollably.
"What do we do now?" Cynder asked. She and Spyro shared a long look of despair.
Matt glanced at his blade. "We have to end this!"
"What do you mean?" Spyro asked. He then widened his eyes. "Are you going to…?"
"We've got to give it everything we have left into one final attack! Together!" Matt raised his Keyblade. "ARE YOU GUYS WITH ME?!"
"We're with you, Matt!" Spyro and Cynder yelled together.
Spyro and Cynder each powered up their final convexity attack each. Matt closed his eyes and focused all of his energy into his Keyblade. A powerful light emerged at the tip of the Dragon's Fury blade. All of their energies grew in power with each passing second…
In Warfang, the citizens were all pointing at a large darkness at the base of the Mountain. The Guardians looked on in horror.
"By the ancestors, what is that?" Terrador asked.
Stitch and Pikachu also saw what they thought was a small light in the darkness. They looked at each other.
"Do you think…?" Pikachu asked.
"Eh. Matt using it…," Stitch replied.
"Using what?" Hunter asked.
"His best weapon…," Pikachu replied.
"This world…has seen it's last day!" Malchoir bellowed. "Now…it ends!" He motioned his body and threw the energy ball straight for the earth…
Matt shot open his eyes. "NOW!" He pointed his Keybalde forward and unleashed his Kingdom Blast just as Spyro and Cynder unleashed their convexity attacks. Their attacks combined in the middle to form one more powerful attack. The Kingdom/Convexity attack collided with the dark energy ball and stopped it…but not completely.
Malchoir laughed. "Your effort are futile…"
"Don't give up!" Matt yelled.
"Keep going!" Spyro added.
The energy ball and the Kingdom attack went back and forth for the next few seconds. The only question was…who would give in first…?
Matt grunted. I don't have a choice…I can't let Malchoir win… He threw his head back and screamed his lungs out, pouring every last amount of energy he had in his body into his blast.
Matt's final push aided the blast enough to make the final push. The Kingdom/Convexity blast pushed the energy ball backwards and out of the path of the Earth, combing together to be thrown back into the atmosphere…with Malchoir in it's path…
There was nothing he could do to avoid it. "No…this can't be…," Malchoir yelled. "NOOOOOOOO!!!!" The full blast consumed Malchoir to the point of nothingness in a bright flash of light.
Matt, Spyro, and Cynder covered their eyes. The resulting shockwave threw all three of them tumbling backwards.
When the flash was gone, Spyro and Cynder sought each other out. They were panting heavily, just using up most of their energy.
"Is it over?" Cynder asked.
"I think so…," Spyro replied. "Cynder…we did it!"
"Yes!" The two dragons hugged in midair. "It's finally over, Spyro."
"Yeah, and we couldn't have done it without…MATT!!!" He and Cynder gasped.
Matt had used up every last ounce of his energy. He was losing focus and reality quickly. The Dragon's Fury blade had disappeared; he was falling head first towards the bottom of the mountain…and certain death…
"NO!" Cynder yelled.
"Hurry, Cynder!" Spyro yelled.
The two dragons went into a full dive towards Matt. They flapped their wings furiously, trying to catch up with him. The ground was coming closer and closer…
"C'mon..," Spyro thought.
Right before Matt hit the ground, Spyro and Cynder each fully extended their paws…they each grabbed one of Matt's shoulders…and managed to pull up just in time…
"Gotcha!" Cynder said.
"Hang on, Matt!" Spyro yelled. He turned to Cynder. "Let's go home…for good."
"I'm with you all the way," Cynder replied.
During his fall, Matt hadn't passed out yet. He felt his friends catch him…and least he thought he did. He opened his eyes with the last of his strength.
Matt could see the sun and it's rays shining down on the Dragon Realms. He wanted to put out his arms and feel the air…but he couldn't do anymore. "Beautiful…." He thought. With that, he knew no more…
Whew...what a battle! Hope you all enjoyed that as much as I did! At least one more chapter coming up! Stay tuned!
Peace out!
