Chapter 4 The Devil Dragon's Student
"Frederick I knew you would be here." Spyro says to Frederick.
"You are getting predictable little Dragon. I knew that you would come here if it involved someone you cared about." Frederick says back to Spyro.
"You knew. Well purple Dragons are predictable." Valavadorog says grining at Spyro.
"Silence! Apparently this will not be settled by words little Spyro the Dragon. You have been a nuisance for far to long. It ends here." Frederick says with a grin on his face.
Frederick twists a knob on his necklace and a door in front of Spyro and Valavadorog opens up.
"I suppose that you already know that I have taken in a new student. Unlike Malefor she will be a challenge for you little Dragon." Frederick says then laughs with his Demonic laugh.
Then a figure starts to come out of the door. Spyro is shocked to see Cynder come out of the door wearing a light suit of armor. She walked differnetly now. She walked with a swagger and swung her tail back and forth. In a way she was moving like she did when Spyro first met her. She looked at him with an intimidating look in her eyes that he had not seen since he fought her in Convexity.
"Remember me Spyro the one you left behind." Cynder says to Spyro as she slowly gets into attack position.
"Cynder I didn't leave you behind. There were too many guards and you can't make a rescue party in one day." Spyro says to Cynder.
"Like I'm supposed to beleive that? You said that you would never leave. You said you cared for me. You lied to me Spyro." Cynder says to Spyro starting to circle around the rim of the arena.
"Cynder please. I don't want to hurt you. Just stop this madness." Spyro says to Cynder.
"You had your chance." Cynder says leaping at Spyro.
Cynder knocks Spyro to the ground and flips her tail up ready to run it through him when Valavadorog rams her flinging her off of Spyro. He helps Spyro up as Cynder jumps back up to her feet. Cynder charges up for a power blast as Valavadorog also charges up his own. They both fire and their lazers meet in the center they were equally matched. As they release their lazers Cynder charges at Valavadorog. She clamps down with her jaw down on Valavadorog's neck. She slams her down on the ground pinning him to the floor. Valavadorog tries to get loose but before he could Cynder tosses him into the wall. He hits the wall with his wing breaking it. He tries to get up but he was having trouble doing so because of his wing. Cynder looks over and sees Spyro who was backing up as she got closer.
"Cynder this is not you. Please don't do anything you might regret." Spyro says as he backs off from Cynder.
"Now you're afraid Spyro. You did this by leaving me behind. Now you will pay." Cynder says to Spyro getting ready to pounce.
"Cynder listen to what you're saying. He's done something to you. He's turned you into a monster again." Spyro says to Cynder as she gets closer.
"He's given me purpose while you left me to die." Cynder says to Spyro starting to pounce.
But then Sparx flies from the air and slams into Cynder. As he bounces back help looks up to see Cynder looking down at him bring her tail back and swinging it at him. Sparx flies back as he is whipped by Cynder's tail. He hits the ground.
"Sparx!" Spyro yells out seeing no movement from Sparx.
Spyro then gets into attack position looking angerly at Cynder.
"Ah now you fight. Come on let's see what you got." Cynder says to Spyro mocking him.
"You're not Cynder. The Cynder I knew would never do that to Sparx. You're a monster." Spyro says.
The two charge at each other and ram into one another in the center of the arena. As they clash there is loud cheering from the observers. Cynder kicks Spyro off of her. Spyro recovers and avoids a scream from Cynder. He then breathes fire at her and she deflects it using her wings. She then charges at Spyro again this time with her claws pulsing with dark energy. Spyro barrel rolls just in time to evade Cynder's attack. Cynder then rapidly swings her tail upward and hits Spyro with the end of it. Spyro is cut on his chin but he just ignores it and charges at Cynder. He pins her to the ground and tries to speak with her again.
"Cynder if I didn't love you then why would I have saved you from Gaul?" Spyro says to Cynder.
"You just wanted to use me. You never cared for me." Cynder says to Spyro.
Then Cynder whips her tail and knocks Spyro off of his feet. As he collapses to the ground he sees Cynder prepare an acid blast that was aiming for his face.
Meanwhile down in the ruined city of Warfang Guardian, Ember, and Flame arrive at the Dragon temple where they meet Cyril, Terrador, and Volteer.
"The city is going to come under attack." Guardian yells out.
"Say what dear boy say that again." Cyril says to Guardian.
"A Devil Dragon is on his way. He's in a massive flying fortress. He's going to abliterate the city to release the Consumer." Guardian says to the Guardians.
"Devil Dragon? Never heard of them." Terrador says.
"Yes and I have never heard of anything called the Consumer. Unless of course you're speaking of the Destroyer. He was destroyed by the purple Dragon Spyro a couple of years back. I wonder where he is. Or are you perhaps talking about the Golem..." Volteer says very fast but is eventually cut off by Terrador.
"We get it already Volteer. Sheesh sometimes I wish you came with a mute button." Terrador says to Volteer.
"Sorry Terrador I was just curious that's all." Volteer says to Terrador.
"Will you two stop. The little purple Dragon. Wait another purple Dragon?" Cyril says as he notices Guardian's color.
"But that's impossible. A purple Dragon is only once every ten Generations. At least that what we beleive. Malefor and Spyro are ten generations apart and they are purple Dragons. But Malefor's only much bigger then..." Volteer says but this time is cut off by Cyril and Terrador.
"We get it!" Cyril and Terrador yell out.
"Now continue to speak little one." Terrador says to Guardian.
"The Devil Dragon Frederick is coming here in a flying fortress that has enough firepower to level the city." Flame says wlaking in front of Guardian.
"Yes you have to beleive us. He's goign to destroy everything." Ember says coming up beside Flame smiling when she looked at him making Flame blush.
"That's an interesting claim little Dragons. But who sent you here. this temple is supposed to be secret." Cyril says.
"Spyro told us where to find you." Guardian says coming inbetween Ember and Flame.
"Spyro? But he's been dead for years now. He can't possibly have survived that blast. Well then again one of our scouts did report that Malefor was seen flying out of the volcano a couple of days ago. But that doesn't mean that Spyro could have survived. Or does it?" Volteer says.
"I don't know. But these kids beleive the information enough to come here before us so I trust them." Terrador says looking at Guardian and the others.
Cyril then runs out of the temple with Guardian, Ember, and Flame following him. There were a couple of explosions that could be heard from the temple. As they get outside they look out in the distance they see the huge flying fortress of Frederick's approching the city opening fire from all of the available cannons.
Back onboard the station Spyro still fights Cynder even though part of his lip was burned from Cynder's acid attack. He charges at Cynder again and this time damages her armor as he charges. She grabs Spyro's neck and throws him over he shoulders on the floor. She kicks down trying to hit Spyro but he rolls over and jumps to his feet. Cynder charges at Spyro but he holds her back. But this time as Spyro looks at Cynder he sees that her eyes semmed to glimer as if she still cared for him. He thrust forward and Cynder trips backwards. She looks at Spyro who is down on the ground as if he wanted her to kill him. He had is eyes closed and Cynder could see a tear run down his face. She then realizes that Spyro did still care for her even after she attacked him.
"I'm so sorry Cynder. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to leave you behind. I don't blame you for attacking me. Go ahead kill me. I won't blame you. But know this I love you." Spyro says turning his head preparing for the worst.
Cynder lifts up her paw and gets ready to strike when she suddenly hesitates. She looks at Spyro and thinks about what he had just said. She leans forward and speaks into his ear.
"Just like old times remember." Cynder whispers in Spyro's ear.
He opens his eyes and doesn't see the face of an attacker. This time he was looking at his freind who was smiling at him. He smiles back.
"What are you waiting for kill him!" Frederick yells jumping down.
Frederick lands inside of the arena behind Spyro. Cynder then starts to swing down her paw but jumps over Spyro and jumps at Frederick instead. Frederick hesitates and lifts up his paw. Cynder gets stabbed by his claws in her chest. It goes through her armor and Spyro watches as blood starts to come from Cynder as Frederick lifts her to his face with an evil grin.
"Such a shame. I was looking forward to making you my apprentace." Frederick whispers to Cynder.
"Go to the underworld you sorry son of a Runt." Cynder says to Frederick.
"Ah! You'll pay for that you ungreatful little..." Frederick says but then is cut off as a giant lazer come from the still open door and sends him flying into the wall dropping Cynder on the ground.
Spyro runs over to her and holds her as a figure that Spyro saw from his vision walks through the door. It looked like a Cheetah but yet it resembled a Human. It was part machine and part organic. It's head had a single blue eye that focused in on Spyro and Cynder. It made some strange sound as it saw Frederick getting back to his feet. THe creature pulls up his arm and it's hand transforms into some type of alien rifle. It fires another laser blast at Frederick but he jumps up on the balcony. The creature aims his arm cannon at Frederick and fires again but he disappears and reappears on the opposite side of the balcony. He orders everyone on the balcony to get out. As the last Baboon leaves the creature makes a couple of clicks as his arm transforms back into a normal hand. It looks over and walks over to Cynder who was in Spyro's arms dying. He crouches down and once more his arm transforms but this time into some circular device. The device heals Cynder's wound right in front of Spyro's eyes and Cynder gets back to her feet and looks at her savior. The creature rises to his feet. It was eight feet tall and looked like a combination of a Cheetah and a robot.
"Spyro and Cynder. Clasification Heroes." The creature says to them with a robotic voice.
"What are you?" Spyro and Cynder asks at the same time.
"I am the Consumer lord unit TC-77R. But most call me Harbinger." The creature says to Spyro and Cynder.
Then seven loud explosions and the Harbinger activates some kind of gaunlet that opened all the doors around. He transforms his hand into a cannon again and walks down the door that Spyro and Valavadorog came through.
"Wake your freinds Heroes. It's is time I fight back." Harbinger says to Spyro and Cynder.
Spyro and Cynder go around and wake up Valavadorog and Sparx as the Harbinger guarded the door. They had made a new ally. One that ehy have never heard of or seen before. If it was freind or foe they didn't know but it saved Cynder and that was enough for Spyro. To him it was a freind.
