Episode VI: The Swordmaster
Scorpion is seen about to slam the ground. Crashzilla and SSC Crash quickly dodged the attack and Scorpion slammed the ground. Scorpion then kicked Crashzilla in the chest and slammed into a tree. Scorpion then punched rapidly at SSC Crash and SSC Crash managed to defend most of them. Then the last punch hit him in the face. SSC Crash then got his sword out and swung at Scorpion. Scorpion dodged all the attacks and grabbed the sword and tossed it aside. Scorpion then was getting prepared to attack. Then he felt something get lodged into his back.
Scorpion looks behind him and found Crashzilla with is hand inside his back. Then he pulled out his heart, causing blood to squirt all over. His heart was still beating in Crashzilla's hand. Scorpion then got on his knees and fell.
"How.. can.. this.. happen?" Scorpion said with his dying breath.
"Things happen.. bitch" Crashzilla said.
Crashzilla then stomped on his head and blood splattered.
SSC Crash was a little surprised on what he just witnessed.
"Um... was that necessary?" SSC Crash asked.
"What? He was trying to kill us" Crashzilla said.
"Need.. help here" CZA Crash said.
Both SSC Crash and Crashzilla went to CZA Crash.
"Heal me" CZA Crash said.
"I can't heal" SSC Crash said.
"Not you" CZA Crash said.
SSC Crash then looked at Crashzilla. Crashzilla didn't say anything at first, but then he sighed.
"Fine" Crashzilla said.
Crashzilla then got down, put his hand on CZA Crash and closed his eyes.
CZA Crash then started to glow. Then when the glowing stopped CZA Crash was back to normal.
SSC Crash was amazed.
"Wow.. I never knew you can heal others" SSC Crash said.
"Eh, I usually do it when I can't come up with a good excuse not to" Crashzilla said.
"Oh, speaking of healing.. you might do heal him as well" SSC Crash said pointing to Hunter.
Crashzilla then goes to him and heals him while SSC Crash got his sword.
"Whoa.. I never thought you would have healing abilities. Thanks" Hunter said.
"Eh. It's nothing" Crashzilla said.
"Alright. Now let's continue finding Spyro" CZA Crash said.
Meanwhile, Malefor is seen watching on what just happened to Scorpion.
"Damn. I knew I should have chosen someone else" Malefor said.
"How about ask 'him' to send the Hero Slayer?" a minion was asked.
"No! I'm not allowing him to come near my world! He's an unpredictable killer with a bad attitude. For all I know.. he could've been wanting to kill me. He only takes orders from 'him' and 'him' only" Malefor said.
"Why not just say 'his' name already?" the minion asked.
"Because 'he's' strict about people using his name" Malefor said.
"How would he know though if you do?" the minion asked.
"He's got eyes everywhere" Malefor said.
Then it's revealed that cameras are seen in the room watching them.
We then see the figure on a chair staring at a screen watching Malefor.
'You better hope they won't take over or I'll send 'him' to kill you personally' the figure thought to himself.
Meanwhile, back with our heros, they are still following Spyro's tracks. Then they finally found him with a bunch of cheetahs.
"Spyro! Good to see ya buddy!" Hunter said.
Spyro turns around.
"Hey Hunter" Spyro said with a smile.
Then he looked behind Hunter and saw SSC Crash, CZA Crash and Crashzilla.
"So.. who are your friends?" Spyro asked.
"Oh.. um.. you remember Crash right?" Hunter asked.
"The one that was always silent and hanging with that floating mask? Yes" Spyro said.
"Well.. these two are also named Crash, but they are from other dimensions" Hunter said.
"Really?" Spyro asked.
"Yep. This Crash is the strong one. This Crash is a weaker one. And this one is not really another Crash. Just a different mutant" Hunter said introducing SSC Crash, CZA Crash and Crashzilla.
"Uh huh" Spyro said a little wierded out.
"So, how did you escape anyway?" Hunter asked.
"Well, it was actually pretty easy. They forgot to tie my mouth shut. So I bit my way out of the rope" Spyro said.
"I thought you were near death road or something" CZA Crash asked.
"Na. Elora always worries about me. I actually think she likes me more than she should" Spyro said whispering to them.
"Right.. so what's the next plan?" CZA Crash asked SSC Crash.
"Wait.. aren't I supposed to call the shots?" Spyro asked.
"Actually.. I think he might be.. the Swordmaster" Hunter said.
"A what?" CZA Crash asked.
"The Swordmaster. It was told that a Swordmaster will come and free us from darkness" Hunter said.
"Wait.. is this just for you guys?" CZA Crash asked.
"Oh, no. Everyone in this dimension knows this" Hunter said.
"I've been needing to ask this. What kind of dimension is this anyway?" SSC Crash asked.
"This is the fiction dimension. Everything you know that's from movies, cartoon and anime tv shows and video games are here. Sit down and I'll tell you more" Hunter said.
Later that night, everyone is gathered around the fire while Hunter fills them in on how the dimension came to be.
"There's a book that holds spells. When 'he' found the book, at first he had no idea on what it said because it was all in German. It took him a while to pronounce the words and translate the description of each spell, but when he tried to pronounce the summoning spell, he accidentally summoned a solder. A solder that holds many skills of war and death. Once he found this out, he made a deal with the solder that if he were to help him rule his world, he would return the solder to his dimension. And so the solder agreed and helped him take over. However, 'he' became more power hungry. So, he decided to go back on their deal and brainwash him. 'He' then summoned all the other villains from other worlds to form an alliance so they can take over the dimension. So, that's what they did. The solder is still under their command to this very day. He had slain every hero that tried to confront him. He was later nicknamed The Hero Slayer. The only heros that are still alive are either enslaved or forced to combat each other in a gladiator arena. The only one that can stop 'him' is The Swordmaster. Our only hope to be free from the clutches of darkness" Hunter explained.
SSC Crash and CZA Crash stared in amazement while Crashzilla was sleeping.
"Wow.. I had no idea one solder can cause that much damage" SSC Crash said.
"It's not really his fault. All he wanted to do was go back to his dimension" Hunter said.
'Going against this brainwashed solder that so happens to know a lot about war and death sounds like a real challenge. I wonder if there's a way to free him from being brainwashed instead of killing him' SSC Crash thought to himself.
"Well, that's enough for now. Let's get some sleep. We got a castle to storm tomorrow" Hunter said.
SSC Crash had some thoughts on the whole 'Swordmaster' thing. Is he really the one or is it someone unlikely? He let out a sigh and decided to sleep it off. Hoping it will be clearer the next day.
