Spyro’s Legacy II: Resurection and Salvation

Chapter 15
Dark Oppression
---------------------------

Alnor looked up to Spyro, his maw hanging down as the dragon's dove down into the whirlwind "Why can't you come?!" he asked "Why can't Welgor or any of the earth dragons come? Why do we have to go and meet them? Why can't we just move on?"

Jessica and Cynder backed-up at the suddenly talkative Alnor, but Spyro just looked down upon him with a smile "Because Alnor there is no other way. The earth that earth dragons ordinarily derive their powers of will not be an earth of love but rather an earth of hatred that would penetrate their mind and dive them insane. Those such as Cynder and I have been too close to the darkness although out our lives. A trip to the shadow world would render us to the powers of the dark.

"There is nothing else to do but follow. They have a iron grip on this world as we speak and should they return here we will once again we will be risking them more preparation time. A risk that we can not take. I and Cynder will still have an influence on their world just as they had on ours when Malefor rained over all. A power that is neigh imposable to overcome. Trust me Alnor your concerns do not fall upon death ears. Our actions have been contemplated by that of our creator for many millenniums if he has gotten it wrong then we may not have had a chance in the first place."

Alnor opened his mouth once again to ask more but there was no more. There was nothing more to ask.

Alnor turned to the whirlwind and contemplated his entry before turning back to Spyro and Cynder. "Before we both die I would like to thank you both; without you I would be as lost as a blind mole. And I also have you to thank for Jessica" He said giving Jessica a warm smile.

"You are most welcome" Cynder said.

"Most welcome but all the thanks that we can ask for is for our future to be secure free from the grip of Malice. That would be more thanks than we could ever repay"

"We shall remember that," Jessica replied looking back as the final dragons dove through the portal "but now we must be off. The others are waiting for us."

The two pair nodded to each other in agreement and then Jessica took the dive into the whirlwind and was soon followed by Alnor as Spyro's final words of advice echoed through his mind. "Draw strength from one another and nothing will ever be able to phase you"

*****

Spyro glared over towards Cynder "And so our die are cast" he narrated.

Spyro turned around to the gathering of earth dragons that had to be left behind. Their green hues casting the dusty plain in the green that has previously occupied the mushroom forest.

"What is our role in this!" asked one of those towards the front rows.

Spyro raised his front paw at him raising one finger. "We must do as I have said. We must work against the dark in any way passable. In this case we must draw a connection with those that we love. You feel their strength start to wane then it is on you you transfer your energies to them and give them advice if need be. If you own power's begin to recede then it is your responsibility to go to the hall of love and war and replenish your supplies. If you must give your final strength to save a loved ones life then it is up to you as to weather or not you sacrifice yourself, but know that should you fall there will be life there after death. If it is any assurance to you then know that.

"Just focus on the ones that you love most and then imagine that all of your senses that you are receiving are yours. From there you can play with the system as much as you want and see what you can do with it so long as you don't hinder your loved ones fight. If all of those you love are dead then I ask of you to give all of your power to those around you as they release their powers to their loved ones. We may not be there in the flesh but our powers may be none the less."

*****

Alnor found himself upside down in an alien world. In the west a black sun rose up above a white mushroom forest. In the east a black sphere dropped below the horizon in an otherwise white sky. This was truly a 'Shadow World"

Alnor rolled over so that his feet faced the ground and for the first time caught a glimpse of his living comrades below who were assembled in a tight circle. Above him the apparitions of the dead light dragon's watch him fall from the sky belatedly.

He decended down towards an opening in the croud. Beside it stood a fight ready Jessica.

"Where are they?" He asked her only to hear Spyro's voice in his head answer.

"They are hiding. Waiting for the sun to rise and block our views. Fortunately we thought of this and there are a few dragons who are willing to sacrifice themselves to provide light."

"Oh,"he thought to Spyro as Jessica told him that she didn't know.

Jessica soon after finishing started looking around in question. "You hear that too?" she asked.

"Oh." she said. "I guess Spyro and Cynder will be directly helping us"

"Yeah" Alnor replied. "Spyro just told me that the enemy was hiding until the darkness shone upon the land."

"Yeah, Cynder told me the same"

"Oh, Cool," He said snuggling close to her once more in the final moments before the whole world was thrown back into the choke-hold of chaos. The short lives of theirs most likely were coming to a close, but yet in their final moments they chose to love and be calm rather than panic. While nothing might ever be the same again.

Chapter 16
Unguarded Homes
--------------------------


Alnor looked up from his mate and stared on a huge wall of dark dragons that bared down upon them all. The darkness of the day had set upon them by now and the light of the three dragons that had sacrificed themselves now light the whole expanse of the cleared mushroom forest that looked similar to the one in the world of the light.

"Tell them to split apart!" Yelled Spyro in Alnor's head.

"Split apart!!!" Alnor yelled to the masses who did just that and just in time. The wall of black split right down the middle of the light. From there the fight was on. Huge waves of dark energy surged though the air towards the groups of light dragons where all of those close to the strike drew fourth the power of their choice to thwart the attempt.

Alnor sent his beam of light energy towards the beam of dark that had moved towards him. Jessica's ray jointed the power of him and a few dragons around them also joined in. The rays sat suspended in mid-air. Neither budging an inch in a Tug O' War.

Spyro's voice suddenly popped into his head and started describing the person that Jessica was and their future that they might have together. "You and Jessica sit on the sunny beach shore as the warm sun shines down upon you, Jessica and your newly hatched son. He stumbles clumsily through his new fangled world. Jessica rubs your back as you both watch your beautiful hatching scramble about."

At Spyro's encouragement Alnor's beam pushed back the dark energy. The light forces helping Alnor progressively push the enemy beam back further and further until the dark beams simply ceased to exist and the bodies of the dark dragons sunk to the ground where Alnor had been just moments before.

Smiler things were happening through out the mass of dragons as dark dragons one after the other fell to the ground dead.

"Yeah!!!" yelled Alnor at the sight of thousands upon thousands of dark dragons falling to the ground. Then however he realized that hardly none of the original dark dragons were accounted for. "Where'd they go?" he asked Spyro in his mind.

"They are still waiting to catch you unguarded"

"Oh, should I tell them?"

"Not yet. Let them think it's a surprise until I say to tell them."

"Ok"

Alnor, now more rested, charged towards the small block of occupied dark dragons remaining. Many of them were losing their battles against the light powers of the others.

Alnor came upon the first of the dragons and sliced his wing in half instantly sending it fluttering to the ground where it landed in a large crash of dust.

Alnor moved onto the nest and went at it's wing. However his movement was suddenly hindered by that dragon's tail as it landed hard against his left wing sending his fast towards the ground. Pain raced through his wing and rendered him defenceless against the ground and dark power attacks that showered him in greater pain.

"Don't worry. It'll all be gone in a second" Came Spyro's voice in his head. Just as Spyro finished a blue light shield formed it's self around Alnor and blocked all of the dark attacks. He felt energy from Spyro start to flow into his body and soon all of his pain was gone and he returned to the ranks of his kind within a few seconds as though nothing had happened. He returned to the fight.

*****

Spyro watched as Alnor returned to the fight with his help. "Maybe the ancestors are with us today" he remarked

They weren't.

Welgor came running up to Spyro in the real world and yelled to him "THE DARK FORCES HAVE RETURNED!"

Spyro severed his connection with Alnor for a moment and payed attention to Welgor. "What?!"

"The Dark Forces, They have returned, Here!"

"It can not be."

"Oh but it is!" he said pointing up towards the dragon temple.

Spyro looked towards the temple and saw it infested with millions of Dark Dragons. All of the ones that weren't in their own world in fact. Their number double that of the waning population of remaining Earth dragons. Spyro hurriedly reconnected with Alnor.

"Alnor! Hurry up and finish off those that are there. The Rest of them are still HERE! Hurry after you finish all of them off!!!" Spyro didn't even wait for a reply before he disconnected again.

Spyro yelled to his fellow dragons that were entranced in others bodies to try to remove them from their loved ones. "HEY!!! WAKE UP!!! RETURN TO YOUR BODY!!! THE REAL THREAT IS HERE!!!"

Everybody shook their heads and turned their heads to Spyro who was pointing to the Temple. They then shifted their glares towards it and saw the dragons upon it like termites upon a termite mound. Above it there were thousands of dark spirits and above them all was the giant shadow of the dark creator looming over it all.

*****

The dragons back in the Dark world celebrated complete obliteration of what they though was all of the dark dragons for a moment until the Light Creator descended back down towards the celebratory mass with the grim news Alnor had just relayed him.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" He yelled over it all. "It isn't over! They weren't all here! In fact hardly any of them were! They are all back in our world! Not here! We have to go back! Before it is too late!"

That all was fun to read Really, it was. Lol.

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice

Spyro’s Legacy II: Resurection and Salvation

Chapter 17
Destiny Calls
------------------

Spyro threw a dark dragon off of him leaving a huge dent in the turf where he came down. The wounds the he had inflicted quickly healed upon his back and a small bit of himself was lost to the effort.

"How much longer will they be!?"he thought in desperation as he felt himself back into Cynder's tail. He didn't take a glance and dug a giant gash into his attacker's soft facial scales. Blood oozed down his enemy's face.

"You still think that you have a chance!!!" he scoffed. "Really?! Your Creator isn't even here for you! Your spirits are trapped in our world! You are all dead! Nothing will save you now!"

Spyro turned his head to his left and squinted his eyes at their stupidity. They weren't coming back. But suddenly the words of the chronicler before he rejoined the ranks of those past entered his thoughts.

"Spyro," he had told him "There will be a time when all will seam lost. You may not have any desire to continue. But know that the promise of tommorow always out weighs the burdens of the past and the doubts of the present. With enough determination anything is possible."

Spyro put his tail out in front of his face to block the tail swipe of his adversary and then charred his face with a fire ball. His charred remains fell to the ground and a spirit took his place.

It charged at him and moved right through his tail block. It then passed into his chest and disappeared.

"LIGHT SHIELD!" came an unfamiliar voice from within him.

He brought fourth his light shield and the entity was spat out in front of him. The former dark outline now glowed a bright white. It thrashed about and covered it's eyes before emitting a ear splitting scream and disintegrating before Spyro.

Spyro risked a quick glance up and saw nothing but black entities blotting out the early morning sky. Very little sunlight breached the enclosed dome. Spyro quickly turned his attention back to the battle and cut loose a giant band of dark energy that knocked back the unsuspecting enemies to their deaths.

"Come on Guys! You have got to find a way!"

*****

Alnor stood beside the newly opened whirlwind back to his world as the millions of light dragons dove down through it. The light creator at his side.

"Are you ready for this?" he asked.

Alnor looked at him questioningly.

"Your destiny. The humans, a billion years ago, predicted it from their planet."

"I-I guess"

"Good, I guess it wouldn't matter anyways. Ready or not it's going to happen unless consequences decide otherwise." an odd sense of mourning rang through his tone. He whispered a few inaudible word to himself as Alnor nodded in agreement to his first statement.

The creator shook his head 'no' and then looked back over to Alnor as though he had finnaly made up his mind "Well lets go. They are going to need us sooner rather than later."

*****

Spyro swiped an enemy's tail off as it reeled from shock. The dome around the few earth dragon's that remained broke up and the dark dragon's fled back to the east.

Spyro turned around and saw the millions of the recently departed dragons return from the world of shadow. After they all had emerged Alnor and the creator came out at the tail. Alnor and the creator flying straight towards the black figure of the Dark Creator.

"Spyro, Cynder, Jessica. Come with me." came the Light Creator's booming voice in Spyro's mind. "We've got a war to win!"

*****

Welgor, the mossy green earth guardian, lead an attack on the dark wall. The other Guardians, Adar and Nafe, at his side.

Adar shot a huge ice ball at the wall that exploded among their ranks and sent hundreds fluttering to the ground.

Welgor sent out his earth ball and struck down another thousand dark dragons but soon they ran into the wall. They all thrashed rabidly and sent off their full arsenal of attacks before one by one surrendering to their demise. Spyro was now the only remaining guardian.

*****

Spyro caught up to the battle of the Creators with Cynder right in tow. Jessica and Alnor fought of the few dark dragons that dared venture as close.

Spyro blasted the final one with a light beam and then fluttered tiredly in place and nervously watched the battle. The battle that so much depended upon.

The light creator threw a punch at the dark but had it blocked upon his hand and then the Dark Creator punched him in the neck.

The light creator drew out his arms and his whole body began to glow a bright, pure white. Everything in the sky and ground was glazed in a pure white. Nothing stood out from another. The air began to tremble and pain raced through Spyro's whole body. His weak telepathic connection with Cynder was bathed in the same pain. Spyro shielded his eyes and waited out the storm while fluttering in place.

"My friends," Came the creator's now weak voice "You must not mourn my loss. Despite my defeat the fight is not lost. As long as there is the least bit of light the hope is still there. I was simply an advantage piece. You now must find your way without me. Without all of you I would have long since perished. Thank you and good luck to us all.."

The connection went blank and the light from the sky slowly faded until the noon-time sun was the only light left in the sky.

"NOOO!!!" Spyro yelled in unison with about a million others.

He looked over to Cynder as the world around them slowed down. The Dark Creator's progression towards Alnor and Jessica grounded to a halt as Spyro and Cynder were suspended in time.

"I know now just what it I that I must do!"

"No Spyro! Did you not just hear the Light Creator?"

"I did and I now know what I must do."

"No Spyro! I can not stay here without you."

"Then come with me Cynder! I can draw off of your energy too!" Spyro nodded towards Alnor and Jessica

She crunched up her face squinted in hard decision. That crazy young menace that so, so long ago she had sought to kill had just asked her to accompany her in death.

"You leave me no other option Spyro. I must accept."

The pair ascended into the air further without flapping their wings as their faces drew fourth peaceful expression. Their body's started to radiate with light energy and draw the landscape once more with a pure white light as all of their stored lifetime of love was expended from their bodies. The energy they created came off of their body's as hands of time began to turn once more. The light energy took over the Dark Creator who's entity exploded in a small black bubble. Even his dark energy was nothing of a match for the shared love of Spyro and Cynder.

Spyro's world was perfectly right as his final energy was expended from his ancient limbs and sent on it's way from his body towards those of the Dark Army.

Cynder was by his side and that was all that mattered.
