As Spyro and Nowe enter the temple, they notice that everyone was outside still. As they were walking in, Cyril walked up to them.
" Where the heck have you two been?".
" Me and Spyro were in town shopping for things".
When Nowe said that Cyril was irritated, and started screaming. " As you two were away Malefor and his troops are advancing to a village of dragons down south".
" Ok what can we do about". Spyro wanted to help the right away.
" Well the problem is we don't know where the village is exactly, but a kid from the village flew all the way here. He said he would tell us if he could see Nowe first. He was very distinct about it, even Cyril's yelling didn't crack him, not even Volteer's blambering". When Terrador told them that Cyril, and Volteer scream " HEY!". Terrador chuckled a little as they were yelling.
" Where is he, if he needs to talk to me then show me to him". Terrador led the way as Nowe followed. They walked up to a small earth dragon that had bruises that cover him. It when he got a look at Nowe the kid knew this was who he needed to see.
" So you're the keyblade master?".
" I guess you can say that". Nowe was at first confused, because there was no way this kid would know about the keyblade. " So my friend here told me that you wanted to talk to me", he nodded yes.
As the kid was about to stand up, he fell from the steps he was sitting on. The pain in his legs didn't help. Nowe ran up and slid on the ground and caught him in time. When he landed in his arm the kid he looked at Nowe and pushed him away.
" Hey what was that for all I was trying to do was help".
" Help where were you to help me and my village. You're supposed to the hero of the light and what are you doing just hanging out here". As he was talking, Nowe could feel the pain in his words. He noticed a small tear in his eyes too. " Maybe if you lived up to the title then maybe my home would still be here".
Nowe closed his eyes for a moment, Nowe felt something, he felt the heart of someone close by. When he opened his eyes he saw the kid starting to shed a tear because of all of his anger. His eyes were filled with so much anger, Nowe walked up the kid and looks at him.
" Let me ask you something how do you know about me?".
" How do I know you, you're kidding right, everyone knows about you. The Hero who came from the skies, with a powerful weapon called the keyblade. The rumor about you spread around most of the world hear you were able to take down Malefor's entire army in one attack. You were supposed to be some hero".
Nowe was not expecting more people would have heard about him, but he did feel guilty because all he was thinking was about Dragon City, nor any other inhabitant of the world.
" Where is this village of yours, now that I have heard what you said you have to still follow the deal".
" Fine the Village is near the Tall Plains".
" Ok then, kid looks at me I promise you I will save the people of your village if it's the last time I do".
Nowe walked away from the kid he just met getting ready for battle again. So Nowe activated his starband and tried to locate the area. He got the directions for Tall Plains but he didn't have much to go on tho. He knows where tall plains is now but he can't find the village on his map at all.
Spyro stood there watching Nowe's band starting to glow with a blue aura, and then a map of Tall Plains appeared. The map was round, and wasn't flat like any map Spyro has seen or anyone has seen in the matter.
The kid stood up and said " My village is a little bit up north from the there". So Nowe was using the starband like it was a remote of some source but still on his arm tho. As he was moving up, the village was still not showing up. Just as Nowe was getting frustrated from searching, he found the village. It was getting attacked by the heartless. As he was looking around he found homes on fire, and dragons fighting. Everyone was horrified by the what they witnessed.
Nowe was done watching, and as he was about to take off, he was stopped by Terrador.
" Terrador what are you doing?".
" We need a plan of attack first if we just go in there blind then everyone is doomed".
"Fine". Nowe didn't like it so he turned back and started walking to the temple. Terrador's guard was down, and Nowe noticed it and used it to his advance. So he never used his wings before but hey it was a better time than any.
Nowe turned around and started to charge at Terrador, he wasn't expecting it so as he Terrador tried to stop him. Nowe tried and used his wings, he didn't try flapping them as hard but like flowmotion he just let himself go. Nowe learned how to glide, with his flowmotion active he tried using both to his advance so as Nowe jumped high in the air he used aero to help glide faster in the sky. Nowe was flying and he knew it too, he felt the wing in his face, and his wings were just moving naturally letting him fly through the night.
Terrador watched as Nowe flew away, and as Volteer, and Cyril about to chase him, Terrador stopped them.
" We can't stop him, he is stronger than any of us. When he was flying away the look he had was the same as a old friend of ours".
" Terrador you don't mean..".
" Volteer I do, he is growing to be more like Ignitus more, and more we get to know him".
" He is nothing like Ignitus, Terrador. Ignitus was a leader, and he would have thought this through, he would never charge into battle blind". Cyril was mad that Terrador said something like that because to him, Volteer, and everyone, Ignitus was a precious friend.
" Well they both have one thing in common, they never give up, they both fight with their hearts. So I can't stop you if you want to stop him but nothing will stop him now. The look he had was the same one Ignitus had when he was really serious about something".
Spyro heard the things that Terrador was saying, and so did everyone else. Spyro's heart ached when he heard the words he said. Spyro noticed it too, but he never wanted to admit it.
Cynder walked up to the three guardians and looked them in the eyes. " Well enough of this, this is no time to argue, Nowe is our friend and we have to back him up. Spyro, me and you have beat Malefor before let's do it again". Spyro looked at Cynder and he could see the fire in her eyes.
" Cynder where is this coming from?".
" Spyro, we have to fight again, I know how much Ignitus meant to you, but Nowe is going to face all of them by himself. I hate to feel this helpless when I know I can do something, and I know we can adleast back him up on this".
Spyro knew that she was right, he wasn't going to let his friend fight alone. He walked up to Cynder and smiled. " Cynder you're the best".
" I know, but let go then". Both Spyro and Cynder took off trying to catch up to Nowe.
Nowe was ahead but he wasn't the fastest flyer yet , and when he looked behind him he saw both Spyro and Cynder trying to catch up in the distance. Nowe stopped for a moment for them to catch up.
As they caught up Nowe said " You can't stop me from going you know".
" Yeah we know, but adleast let us help you then".
" You guys are going to get hurt, this is going to be a battle of life or death".
" Me and Spyro knows that, and we know the dangers but like you said we're friends and we should always help our friends".
" Thanks you guys, now what are we waiting for let's go save the village".
They flew as fast as they could, and nowe used his aero ability to keep up with them. As they were getting closer to the village they could see the smoke coming from the destruction. They landed and started to join the battle, Nowe drew his blade that he named Avalon.
" Spyro, Cynder let's break into two teams, you two focus on fight the remaining heartless in the village while I handle the one trying to get in".
The two nodded, and ran to the village as Nowe stood there and saw more Heartless appearing.
" I will not let any of you hurt anyone else". Nowe was mad and the piece of his necklace on the sword started to glow. Nowe ran up to them his sword ignited on fire as he was using his sword. He was took down 12 heartless in one energy slash but when he took down one 10 more showed up.
Nowe was starting to feel energy surge inside him. So he focused on putting more power into the blade. So when the heartless jumped and tried to attack he slammed his blade on the ground creating a energy shock wave destroying the heartless one by one. But more still showed up. Nowe was now just trying fight off the heartless one by one by using his fire attacks. As he was fight he was wondering how Spyro and Cynder were doing
Nowe had an idea he remember how he used blade charge on Spyro's blade so he wanted to try it with his. Nowe gripped his blade with two hands and aiming it to the skies. He put most of his energy into the blade. Fire was flying everywhere, Nowe focused on shaping the fire into the blade. It was done Nowe held his hands a fiery blade charged Avalon. He summoned his keyblade and used blade charge on that too. So one hand was fire the other was light so he was going to use dual blades. So Nowe began his rampage slashing the heartless with each blade thinking of new ways to use his weapons.
Nowe changed the element of his keyblade's blade charge to ice, and he started to spin around using blizzard freezing all the heartless then used Avalon and spun around again sending a fire shockwave defeating the heartless.
The heartless kept coming no matter how many Nowe defeated, there was always more. Nowe still had enough energy to keep going for a while, but there were so many of them, and there was an infinite number of them. he was hoping Spyro and Cynder had better luck.
Spyro and Cynder weren't having a hard defeating most of the Heartless. They helped the injured warriors who chose to fight. They found out that most of the people evacuated already only the strongest stayed behind to hold them off.
" Ok then we can held the rest of the heartless, so you need to get out of here and try and get the people of the village to go to Dragon City".
" Ok thank you but there is no way that only you two could handle this many monster at once. Not even the heros of Warfang could handle this" said one of the injure soldiers.
" Don't worry about us we have a friend that is helping take down the monster that is attacking your village". Spyro was trying to get them out but the only way to let them know that Nowe was here. If they know who he is then maybe that would what convince them to leave.
" Even so a friend can't handle this many of these monsters". The soldiers keep refusing to leave so Spyro had to reveal that the Keyblade Master is here.
"Well he has done it before, I know your village has heard of the Keyblade Master that was able to take down Malefor's forces in one single attack". The soldier's face lit up when they heard that Nowe was here helping them. The Soldiers look at each other for a moment and that nodded.
" Ok then tell your friend to avenge our village then". They finally left and were on their way to Dragon City when they catch up with the others. Spyro and Cynder finally got everyone evacuated so now they can help Nowe in the face against the heartless.
On Nowe's side the Heartless were piling up, but Nowe was only trying to hold them off long enough for Spyro and Cynder to get everyone out of the village. Nowe was wanting to use a fury attack but was afraid that he could get someone hurt in the distance. So he had to wait for them to hurry up.
His dual blade were holding up but eventually blade charge would wear out. So he made his keyblade disappear and focused on using only Avalon. He gripped his blade with two hands and charged the heartless with his blade charged sword. Nowe jumped into the air and then let one hand go of Avalon and cast magnega sucking up the heartless in the area hoping to end it with a single hit. When they were sucked in, Nowe charged more energy into Avalon and struck the floating orbs in the air creating a giant explosion on contact.
Nowe landed on the ground and watched all the heartless releasing the heart. There were so many of them, but just as the Heartless were defeated Nowe felt a loss of energy and fell on one knee. He was breathing heavily and noticed that a dark portal appeared close to Nowe.
What came out was the dark master himself, Malefor.
