Brian's POV
What just happend? Did I pass out? Questions swarmed through my head as I came around. When I opened my eyes I saw that I was in the Chroniclers study. Couldn't he picked a better time to talk about this? Unless. . .
Unless he knows something that I need to know. That would make sense.
On cue Ignitus appeared in front of me. I lowered my head as a sign of respect.
"Come I will reveal another one of your unique abilities. One that will decide the fate of your conflict with the humans." He beckoned me. I came to his side and observed several items spread out on the floor: The first thing I saw was a black human body suit that resembled the kind SWAT teams had but enchanted with magic. Next was some sort of rifle that looked like a mix of a grenade launcher and a sawed off shotgun. How would this help me if i'm a dragon? I realized the answer.
"You found a way to turn me back into a human?" I asked half surprised and half angry that he didn't give me this stuff two years ago."Temporarily," Ignitus responded as he turned his head to face me. "It would be easier for you to just try it for yourself." I agreed and began focusing, I felt a blast of sharp pain in my back and fell over onto the ground. I saw black for a few seconds before I opened my eyes again. I felt cold all of the sudden as I sat up and observed my human self: White, 'bout six feet tall, somewhat muscular, and black hair still in a buzzcut. My clothing consisted of dark blue shorts, a belt, socks, and hiking boots. Ignitus, with a wave of his claw summon a mirror in front of me. With it I saw that I had hazel eyes. I stood up and stretched my arms. Doing so I saw something on my back, I turned to observe it in the mirror and discovered the catch: My back still had my black dragon scales. That could be a problem, but i could handle it. (Now that I had hands again :) )
Next I turned my attention to the gear. The suit was tough enough to withstand indirect hits from a gun, light enough that it wouldn't slow me down, and included a breath mask to protect me from gas and smoke. It's helmet had lenses of some sort over the eyes, Probably night or IR vision powered by magic. next I turned to the odd weapon: Upon closer inspection I discovered that the revolver part had five different colored slots with a green crystal in each one. Different kinds of ammo eh? Ignitus summoned a target dummy to practice on. The red chamber fired a fast but long stream of fire, Blue launched a slow but powerful ice orbs, Yellow rapid fired bolts of electricity, and Green casted the same sleeping spell used on Spyro, Cynder, Sparx, and Hunter prior to the cheetah village in DOTD. The last chamber was colored white, when I fired it at the dummy, it looped around and hit Ignitus who was caught off guard. Oh crap.
"Don't worry," Ignitus said once he realised what happened. "It's a healing beam that will target your allis." Of course, I need to be a team player.
"These Items are magically bound to you," Ignitus explained, "Your armor you can take off if you need to but it will reappear if you want it to. Your weapon you can magically conceal it if needed. But these items will only exist when you are in your human form." "Thank you Ignitus, now I know what I need to do." I thanked him as I turned back into a dragon before returning to the real world.
Spyro's POV
"Is he gonna be okay?" Forge asked worried for Brian. After he blacked out, Ariel moved him back to his room which Forge, Spike, Cynder, and I were just outside of. "Don't worry about him, He just needs some rest." Cynder comforted the little dragon. Cynder, the guardians, and I knew that he must of been called by the Chronicler but Forge was still too little to understand the concept. "Spyro, Cynder," Hunter joined into the conversation as he limped over to us. "That medical paste works well, you have my thanks." "You're welcome." Cynder and I replied at the same time. Hunter then turned towards Brian's room. "I hope that this doesn't tear him internally. Brian said that he was born and raised as one of them, I just hope he doesn't rejoin them." Hunter spoke softly. He had a point, Brian claimed to have been a human prior to entering the Dragon realms. But like what Brian told Forge about monsters earlier : It isn't the teeth, or claws that make one a monster, It's the stuff in here telling them what to do. And Brian proved that he wasn't hostile like the humans Hunter found. "I trust him, He may be our best chance against them." Cynder spoke plainly. She believed in him, Mainly because she knows what its like to be doubted.
"If I may, Might I suggest that we come up with a plan to save those dragons." Hunter suggested.
"That won't be necessary Hunter." The five of us turned around to find Brian moving the curtain. A confident fire blazing in his eyes. "I already have one."
Brian's POV
Our meeting resumed. I explained what Ignitus showed me earlier. After I was finished I converted into my human form. Everyone was surprised to say the least.
"You said you had a plan to save those dragons?" Volteer asked me.
"Yes, the plan is a two-fold. Have any of you heard the saying "The early bird gets the worm?" The nodded yes, "What my plan is to trick what's left of the dark master's forces into launching an attack on the humans." "How can you do that?" Spyro asked me. "Simple, I present myself to them posing as the dark master's spirit saying "Hey! Those humans are making an army to destroy the last of my power! Quickly! you must attack them before it's too late!" Everyone chuckled at the impression. "The early bird gets the worm," Hunter picked up on what I was getting at. "Yes, but it's the second rat that gets the cheese, I just don't tell them that." I replied, Cynder's eye's widened when she saw what I was getting at. "Clever! Let the monsters and humans destroy each other, then we attack before the humans recover!" "Bingo! but that's not gonna break those dragons free."
"Then what's the purpose of the attack?" Cyril asked. "That's where this," I pointed my human form out, "Comes in handy. The battle outside is to draw their attention away from the prison, AND the people around it." Everyone saw what I was getting at. "I can get to the dragons, free them from whatever shackles there are, at that point I turn back into a night fury, blow the wall, and lead those dragons to safety." I explained.
"Very well planned, I will send word out for our forces to prepare." Volteer explained as I turned back into a night fury. I hope this will work. . .
