Chapter 5: Catching up with Faust
As our hero rushes off to save the dragoness he loves, we catch up with Faust and his captive as they are nearing Malefor's prison near the very center of Hell itself. Of course, Faust is irritated at Cynder's lack of cooperation. Well, hey, Faust, if you were kidnapped, would you be cooperative with whoever it was who did this to you? I didn't think so.
"Just a little bit further, then Lord Malefor will be free!" Faust tells himself to renew his confidence.
"You're even crazier than I thought! You'd be foolish to take a deal with Malefor; he'll just backstab you in the end!" Cynder tells her captor and tormentor.
"Will you please just, SHUT UP!?" Faust yells to Cynder "You are so annoying, you know that?!"
"I get that a lot." She responds.
As Faust is about to smack Cynder across the face, he notices a menacing shadow appearing over him. He looks upwards towards the ledge he just traversed down to see Spyro standing a top it.
"You know not the fury I know hath, let go of Cynder or face my wrath!" Spyro tells Faust
"I think Cynder's actually safer with me than with you, demon." Faust tells Spyro as he takes out his skull-topped cane and uses it to shoot synthetic lightning at Spyro, which he dodges by taking flight.
"Synthetic Lightning? This guy's cleverer than I thought." Spyro thinks to himself as he flies around his foe, dodging bolt after bolt, until landing a devastating kick.
"Okay, that was a lucky shot, but you'll never get past this!" Faust tells Spyro as he takes a large ring out of his robe and throws it to the ground, causing a blue troll, those are the ape like enemies in Dawn of the Dragon, to appear out of the ground.
"Okay, that's a new one." Sparx tells his brother as they both jump out of the way of a crashing troll fist. In the meantime, Sparx flies up to Faust and starts punching him in the face, which feels like almost nothing to him.
"What use do you have for stolen souls!?" Sparx asks Faust with a hint of rage as he continues to punch his face.
"I need them because unlike you, I have no intention of dying, ever. Now go away, you little pest!" Faust says as he hits Sparx with his cane and sends him flying all the way back through the mirror portal that brought them here to start with.
Meanwhile, Spyro still has to deal with the troll. "Okay, now how in the world do I beat this thing?" He asks himself, trying to remember exactly how to defeat a blue troll. "Wait, I've got it! Yank the ring from its nose, then back to the pit the troll goes!" Spyro tells himself. Spyro then flies up the troll's face and grabs onto the ring in its nose. "This is for my brother!" he tells the troll, who is by the way too stupid to understand what he's saying since it literally doesn't have a brain, as he flies upward, removing the ring from its nose then tosses it away out of disgust as soon as he lands. The troll then dissolves into dust as Faust grabs Cynder again and gets away.
As they do, Spyro notices Sparx got hit back to the other side of the mirror. "Okay, Faust got away again." Spyro tells himself. "But when I catch him again, he's going down!" After saying these exact words, Spyro runs off in the direction of his adversary.
Okay! That was one pulse pounding chapter! Now before I do anything else, I should probably note that I've given up trying to see if anybody can guess the reference mentioned last chapter, so I'm just going to give you the site where you can find it. Also, to envision the fight with the troll, just skip forward in the video a bit and replace the beast they're fighting with a troll. Okay? Cool.
