Chapter 8: City of darkness

(Spyro)

Fighting one of river's friends from his world was not going to easy. He had been trapped in that dark dragon for so long I wasn't even sure that we were going to be able to get him out

Me and River were charging his once friend and all the while I was trying to think of a way to get river's friend back to normal. The only thing I could possibly see was beating him.

I was sure that winning a fight against Shadow would bring his friend back to his senses but I was also worried about how bad River's town could get damaged by this attack

I was so deep in thought at this point that I didn't notice that River had gotten into the fight against shadow. I broke out of my daze and flew at shadow blowing a fire ball his way.

He managed to push River in it's path instead. The blast hit him dead on sending him into a building as he called it making it fall along with him. I was about to go to him when he got out of what used to be the huge building.

He flew straight towards shadow. I could see the anger and fear in his eyes. He didn't want to lose one of his friends here so he was trying his hardest to beat him with out fatally hurting him.

Which I understood. I once again flew at Shadow and blasted a stream of fire his way. It hit his back making him stutter. This gave river Time to use his tail and whack him hard.

As he did so he managed to land a nasty cut down shadows side. After the hit shadow used his claws on river and got his back. I flew at him and used my tail on his side as well.

I managed to put another deep cut on his shoulder area. Shadow screamed in rage. I knew he was angry at this point. He charged my way and blew this dark stream of some kind of dark fire my way.

I flew out of the way and landed on the ground at the park. I looked around and saw the destruction caused by this fight. I took off into the sky and watched as River screamed in pain as shadow smashed one of hid wings.

"You are no challenge for me. It is time for you to die you worthless traitor." Shadow screamed. I flew at full speed smashing into shadow and sending him into another building making it fall over on top of him.

"Sorry shadow but I don't intend on letting you end my friends life." I said. He stood up out of the rubble. He looked very angry. He had a bent wing and his back left leg was badly damaged.

I couldn't really see any thing from the fact that tears were coming out my eyes from the pain I was facing. Shadow had managed to snap my wing from one of his attacks. It was going to take a while for that to heal.

I looked and saw that Spyro and Shadow were facing off. I heard a scream and turned to see one of the dark Dragons fall down unconscious and turn back into a human.

But my friend Kyle was also out cold on the ground in his human as well. I slowly walked that way and moved him. I know I was leaving Spyro to fight for his life for a moment.

But saving a life or two takes priority over your own. I set both of them down in the park away from the madness and went back to fight Shadow. But on my way I was looking at the city and it was in total ruin.

Some buildings were gone while others were half gone. I could see buildings damaged and others completely untouched which was great. But looking around the city was almost completely destroyed.

Looking around I couldn't help but tear up. I had grown up in florida and the city I lived in was practically gone from one fight that shouldn't be taking place here in the first place.

If this was Malefor's intention then it was going bad. The city looked like a city of darkness and fear. I stopped when I made it back to the fight and saw that Spyro and Shadow had come to a stand still.

They both had many cuts and scrapes all over. Shadow seemed to have a slight advantage over Spyro. "Your not going to win alone you welp." Shadow said. "Who said he was alone." I said.

I walked beside Spyro who immediately perked up. "What took you." Spyro said. "Sorry Not being able to fly and carrying two passed out humans to safety takes a while." I said.

I looked at Shadow. "Spyro sit the rest of this out." I said. HE looked at me like I was nuts. But I was going to try something and if it worked Shadow would be beaten. If not well then there was about to be a return of Scorch.

I walked up and I could feel my anger and hate for this monster for what he did. I had been controlling it keeping it at bay since my return. But it seemed like it was the only chance we had at winning.

"Spyro go help the others you don't want to see this." I said. And as I said this my scales started going extremely dark red. He turned and went to help them. But I could see the look of concern.

But it was to late to stop. I felt it go threw me then every thing went black. But then it came back but I could feel my strength had increased. "A risky move you have pulled Burn. Or should I say Scorch" Shadow said.

I just laughed. "A name fitting for a fire dragon turned dark. But I am sorry to say your old partner has no control over me any more." I said. He looked at me shocked. Heck I was even shocked my self. I was controlling the darkness for some reason. which might I add has never been successfully done.

I then charged at him and he charged at me. But I moved slightly and used my claws and managed to strike a deep blow on his shoulder. I then for som reason Brought my jaw down straight ob his neck.

I pinned him to the ground and started crushing his neck and back. He got up and flung me off and I landed a bit aways. I got up and tackled Shadow into another building.

I thought it was over but he got up. It was time I tried something really dangerous. I let my self black out and wait for the fighting to end.

2 hours later

I had never seen a fight that looked so dangerous before. I was surprised when they both came to equal blows and both ended up falling to the ground. But what shocked my was the fact that River was controlling the darkness and came back as himself.

It was something that was to never be attempted but he did it. It also succeeded in bringing back 3 people from Malefor's clutches. The only problem was one of the dark dragons managed to escape.

He escaped because every one was to tired to continue fighting. But he was out numbered and would have lost. We went over to River who was lying unconscious along with that evil pain shadow.

"Wake up buddy this is no time to be sleeping." Flame said. He woke up and looked around. "Please tell me that it is over." River said. We all nodded. Then we turned to see shadow shrinking. It kept going until there was a black dragon our same size lying there on the ground.

"I think we just saved your friend Corbin" I said. He nodded. "Take necklace from Kyle and place it on his neck. He should return to normal" River said. He placed his on and as soon as he was human he passed out. I caught him on my neck.

We put the necklace on Corbin and we took flight back to River's house. But as we flew we looked at the damage done by the fight. The city was almost destroyed by our fighting.

"Well now all thats left is to take the fight to Malefor." Spyro said. I nodded. And as we flew back to the house I sighed thinking that this was all going to be over real soon.
