Fury

Spyro, Cynder and Sparx flew for the rest of the day without stopping. They rested at night under a beautiful silver full moon and got up early the next morning. Spyro had finally seen something familiar which meant the Swamp was an easy morning's flight away. Spyro was so excited he was already up when the dawn light was painting the sky crimson and violet. He got up stretched and settled down on a boulder and gazed at the scenery letting his mind wander. Spyro looked at his still fast asleep travelling companions. As he watched a cheeky and impish thought crossed his mind. Quietly he slipped over to the sleepers and gently lifted Sparx up into the air and carefully placed him on Cynder's snout. Cynder's breathing quickened and her black body stirred as if she was about to wake up. Spyro pretended to be asleep as he waited for his prank to take effect. He didn't have to wait for long.

"WHAT THE HELL?" screamed Cynder as she leapt to her feet throwing Sparx into the air. Spyro caught his brother as he babbled sleepily.

"Mummy an evil monster wants to kill me and it woke me from my brain sleep."

Spyro laughed at their reactions ignoring the pain that lanced through his body. Cynder rounded on him.

"I am going to wipe that smirk off your face Spyro," she threatened playfully.

Cynder chased Spyro all over the quarry they had landed in and had pounced on him about four times but he was too nimble. And fast because he was using Comet Dash to dodge. She luged for Spyro a fifth time but he used his Comet Dash and evaded her again. She crashed into the ground and Spyro hoped she would stop after this because the Comet Dashes were wearing him down.

"Cynder can we stop now, I'm knackered." Spyro pleaded

Cynder just clutched her head.

"Cynder are you OK" asked Spyro nervously in case she was annoyed at him.

She clutched her head for a good while before she suddenly started to shake. She screamed

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD YOU SADISTIC CREATURE."

She closed her eyes and started to struggle against the Darkness inside her. Spyro could only look at her in helpless horror. Suddenly he remembered someone.

"Sparx get behind me," he ordered.

Sparx was confused however he knew his brother's tone and crouched down behind Spyro's spines. At that moment Cynder lost the battle with the creature inside her. Her formerly green eyes opened and were now as red as fire dipped in blood and filled with the burning blazes of rage. A black purple aura surrounded the black dragoness' delicate body. The whole of her body including her pink underbelly and wings was now an evil shiny black. Her claws had acquired a metallic sheen as had her horns and wing blades. (Sorry just to clear this up. The fighting between Spyro and Cynder was 100% play her becoming evil has nothing to do with that) Sparx was quick to catch on to the situation.

"Ah Spyro Mummy Daddy help me she's evil psycho she dragon again. Help."

At least Spyro managed to keep his head as he tried to help Cynder.

"Cynder calm down. Please don't do this."

Cynder responded with a Shadow blast (a blast of energy stronger than Shadow fire) that Spyro barely dodged. Cynder laughed her voice richer and deeper than normal, dripping with malice and mockery. Spyro dodged three more shadow attacks of different strengths before he spoke again.

"Cynder you have to fight it. You're stronger than this if you believe in yourself please Cynder."

"Pathetic wretch," she growled "Cynder isn't here anymore, at least not the one you knew."

"Cynder I know you're in there. Fight this come on you can do it, you have to."

"Come on big girl don't go evil crazy on me now." interjected Sparx.

Dark Cynder faltered but shrugged it off, and then she blasted a huge black beam at Spyro. This attack made contact; almost tearing Spyro's spirit from his body but he managed to hold on. Suddenly a red crystal grew out of the ground in front of Spyro.

"Thank you Ancestors," whispered Spyro gratefully.

The energy from the Life Crystal was sufficient to heal all of Spyro's injuries and aches. He flapped his wings to become airborne and was pleased that it did not hurt which would help for the flying he would need to do. He hovered in the air and waited for Dark Cynder. Dark Cynder looked at him as if he was an irksome fly that she was barely prepared to go out of her way to squash. Dark Cynder rose to Spyro's level and pierced him with fiery blades of hatred. Hmm maybe he is worth killing after all she thought as she sensed the power emanating from the purple dragon.

Dark Cynder charged a very powerful Shadow blast, Spyro attempted to tackle her but was too slow. The attack struck him square in the chest. When the smoke cleared Spyro saw that he was bleeding badly, also his golden chest crackled with dark energy.

"Damn her speed," cursed Spyro.

Before he could react Dark Cynder was upon him claws spread wide. Sharp claws raked across Spyro's scales and Sparx was thrown of his back.

"Sparx get out of here,"

Spyro was distracted by that and this allowed Dark Cynder to open a gash in his delicate velvet wing membrane. Sparx looked at his brother with worry encasing his face but he retreated under Spyro's stare. He was a blur in Spyro's eyes as he plummeted towards the ground. Spyro barrel rolled to evade a Shadow blast aimed at his skull.

"Cynder stop please you have to fight this only you can stop it."

Another blast hurled towards Spyro who blocked it with his wings

"What's wrong little Spyro too scared to fight me?" asked Dark Cynder in a dark seductive mocking voice. She opened her maw and a ball of pure black power started to form within it. Dread filled Spyro as he realised he would have to retaliate this time. He parted his jaws and formed a ball of raw purple energy. Spyro and Cynder launched their attacks simultaneously. When they collided a shockwave ripped the land within a mile diameter to shreds.

The two exhausted dragon's had been thrown back by the blast however they recovered quickly. Spyro closed the gap between them to a mere five feet.

"Cynder let go of the darkness. You can do it, I know you can."

Dark Cynder laughed evilly. "No she can't and now you will die you purple pest."

She surrounded herself in a black flame that Spyro had never seen before. Nevertheless instinct drove him to create a light purple flame around his own body. He hesitated but an emerald flash in Dark Cynder's eyes hardened his resolve. Maybe if he could defeat Cynder she would return to normal again. A huge purple beam erupted from Spyro's body as a black one blasted from Dark Cynder. BOOM! A flash of blinding light illuminated the scene and obscured the two dragons from view. Sparx stared in shock and disbelief at the spectacle in front of him.

"Spyro; Spyro are you OK buddy," whimpered Sparx shakily.

The young dragonfly was anxious terrified alone and sad all rolled into one.

"Cynder; Spyro are you there." He waited a bit then began to panic.

"SPYRO! CYNDER.. SPYRO NO PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD!"

Sparx's eyes started to well up with tears as he remembered three years ago when he had feared that Spyro was dead when the young dragon had been trapped under a bell. This was different. A feeling in his gut that had nothing to do with the butterflies he had eaten this morning made the gold insect uneasy. Slowly the hours passed and the light had not faded nor had Spyro and Cynder reappeared.

Suddenly there was a zapping sound that disrupted time itself and Sparx shivered as a chill ran up his back. Suddenly he heard a familiar voice that made the ecstatic dragonfly turn somersaults.

"Sparx are you there?"

Spyro climbed out of a freshly made crater with Cynder on his back. Her scales were back to normal; her eyes were closed but the steady motion of her side showed she was alive. Sparx flew to his brother like an arrow on fire to meet his brother. Sparx had to stall quickly to avoid crashing into Spyro's sharp faceted scales. Spyro nuzzled his brother affectionately joy radiating from the youngster.

"So what happened in the hours you were up there?" asked Sparx.

"Hours?" Spyro was confused "It's been barely two minutes since that flash."

Well that is chapter six and this is getting weirder and weirder especially that Cynder is still a walking time bomb with the darkness inside her. I'm doing this as I go along so it's a surprise even to me what I type sometimes. Again could I please ask if you could rate this chapter out of ten. Please read and review.

Bluesilverdragoness why must I have made the game? And also I don't think that your chap 4 needs to be added to and if I were you I would just start on chapter 5.
