Chapter 7
Spyro awoke to find himself strapped down on a table, his head still ached from being knocked out with a board, when he looked around he saw Kaos tampering with some machine, "ah, I see your finally awake" Kaos said to him without turning around "you know, Kaos? I'm actually impressed, you managed to capture me yourself, well done" Spyro said in mock-impression, "ah yes, why thank you, it's too bad that will be the last thing you ever say out of free will" Kaos replied manically "hold on, you kidnapped me just to mind control me? Wow Kaos, just wow" Spyro said sarcastically "grr, no, dummy, that's not why, I intend to use you as a vessel of pure darkness under my control" Kaos grinned as he started pressing buttons "that's basically what I said" Spyro remarked, "gah! Nevermind" Kaos mumbled in frustration "BEHOLD" Kaos revealed the machine "are you beHOlding?" Kaos asked "um, I don't know" Spyro rolled his eyes, "nevermind that, this, my Skyloser friend, is the darkatron 600" "uh, Kaos, just to clarify, devices that have those types of names, tend to backfire horribly" Spyro explained "whatever" Kaos retorted "as I was saying, this device is capable of draining the light and good out of anyone, leaving only the darkness behind, for my own command, you see, Spyro, your going to be my unwilling slave of evil, an instrument of power that I will use to finally take over the Skylands and destroy that accursed old fool Eon, you see where I'm going with this?" Kaos pulled a lever and hung a big ray over Spyro, "so, this is what anxiety feels like, Cynder I hope your out there" Spyro thought as he closed his eye, Kaos pointed the ray at him "say goodbye to your free will" and Kaos activated the ray, it fired onto Spyro, and Kaos started cackling "HA-HAHAHAHAHA".
Cynder and the team got to Kaos's castle, "man, there it is" Eruptor said "yeah, guys, Spyro should be inside, so we need a plan" Stealth Elf started and gathered the othther Skylanders, "ok, we need to find a way in right? Well it shouldn't be too hard when there are no guards surrounding his castle, problem is, the castle has tons of 'automated' defenses, namely Turrets, etc. so, I propose that me and Eruptor deactivate the security system, so Cynder and the rest can go in and find Spyro, sound good?" Stealth Elf looked around, they all nodded, "alright then, stay here and wait for my signal" and with that Stealth Elf and Eruptor jumped over the edge and went for the main security system. A little while later, Stealth Elf initiated the signal, and Cynder, Pop Fizz, and Jet-Vac ran up the castle stairs, and into the actual castle. It was dark and very eerie, Cynder even shivered at the sight of it, they came to a large open room, and they heard a voice, unmistakable "well, well, well, if it isn't the Skylosers" they turned around to see Kaos standing there, grinning "where's Spyro!?" Cynder yelled at him, "oh he's right here" Kaos snapped his fingers and Spyro flew down to the ground, "Spyro!" Cynder exclaimed with joy and a smile on her face, however Spyro didn't return the look, and Kaos explained "everyone meet 'Dark Spyro', he was once Spyro, but now that his light has been drained, he is my puppet, and he'll do all that I ask, HA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Kaos cackled, "you little-, I'll kill you!" Cynder screamed, enraged, but was stopped by Dark Spyro, who mercilessly threw her across the room, "oopsies" Kaos fake-apologized "come, while those dragons fight, let's have a talk of our own, my army, DESTROY THEM" Kaos bellowed, just then a swarm of hypnotized Mabus came out and started attacking Jet-Vac and Pop Fizz.
Meanwhile Cynder was trying to talk with Dark Spyro "please Spyro, this isn't you, I know you!" Cynder tried talking but he didn't stop, he pinned Cynder to the ground, prepared to take her life, so Cynder uttered the only words she could "I love you".
