Ch.9: Sparx Steps Up
Malefor was surprised when Spyro came charging into his forttress seemingly from nowhere. With out hesistation Spyro headed striaght for Cynder, in order to save her from being sacrificed.
But before he could reach her Malefor stepped in and pushed him away. The two purple dragons glared at each, with hate shining in their eyes, then charged in claws outward.
From the Convexity the Lunar Dragon and Sparx watched watched intensely as the the two parelell forces suddenly collided into a fierce struggle. Spyro and Malefor's powers were nearly equally matched. It seemed neither one could get past the other.
However when Spyro and Malefor collided again the evil dragon began to grin.
"That's not a good sign," said Sparx.
Sparx didn't know how right he was for that collision with Spyro made Malefor realize that the virus he put in Sparx to infect the Dragon Elders was now lying dormant in Spyro's veins.
Pushing off from Spyro Malefor summoned a dark, green orb of magic into his claws and aimed it at Spyro as the young purple dragon came charging in again. Cynder, who was just waking up from unconiousness, saw the green ball of light hit Spyro and then heard Spyro's scream.
"Spyro!" Cynder yelled.
The young purple dragon was writhing in pain as dark bolts of energy blasted all over his body. His eyes began to glow white and his scales turned black. To everyone's horror the Dark Spyro was reborn!
"Welcome back to the dark side, my son," said Malefor.
"Yes Master," said Spyro.
"Now Spyro" said Malefor, flying over to his perch " prove that darkness is stronger than light and slay this dragon,"
Cynder gasped and quivered in fear as Spyro came down and walked slowly towards her. In the Convexity Sparx was freaking out.
"Let me out of this cage!" yelled Sparx " I got to help!"
"What can you do?" asked the Lunar Dragon " you are just a dragonfly, not a dragon. You would die in an instant,"
For a minute Sparx stopped struggling and then his brain got an idea.
"Hey wait" said Sparx, turning to the Lunar Dragon " you have these cosmic powers and stuff, can't you turn me into a dragon. That way I'll be able to help Spyro and them?"
"Are you sure?" asked the Lunar Dragon " after all Spyro did choose Cynder and the fate of the Dragon Realms over you,"
"Well, you get used to it after awhile" said Sparx " now about that turning into a dragon thing?"
"Very well," said the Lunar Dragon, and waved her claw.
The golden light of Sparx's cage suddenly wrapped around him like a cloth until it formed a golden ball. The ball grew, and grew, and grew, until it shattered. and although it may have looked impossible, Sparx had became what he had asked, he was a dragon.
His dragon scales glowed gold, his eyes were shining green, and his dragon wings looked were his orginal four dragonfly wings supersized.
"By this transformation Malefor's spell has been broken" said the Lunar Dragon " but no matter how much better looking you are in this form, it will only last for a few days. Now, I believe you have to save your friend. Antidote is in your fire. Good luck, Young Sparx,"
And with that Sparx raced off through the portal on a mission to save Spyro, Cynder, and the world.
