*Character thoughts*
...............Meanwhile
"Speech" (we knew that moron)

The Era of Darkness, a horrible time that existed during the rule of the Dark Master, and yet it still continued despite his downfall. The effects of the Dark Master has created the Well of Souls, his former fortress that was know home to hundreds of Apes and creatures of pure darkness, including his soul. Even though the Dragon Ancestors has split the Dark Master's essence and soul, in hopes that he would never return, he still stirred and could still communicate to his forces. This is why the Era of Darkness still continued, why we are still fighting against the Dark Master.

And yet hope could still exist despite the amount of darkness and despair in the air. A prophecy was foretold by the Dragon Ancestors, a prophecy that told of a purple dragon being born and rising to face the Dark Master and his forces. Leading a group of his or her own, the purple dragon will put a end to the Era of Darkness, and stop the suffering the Dark Master has brought to our world. That was the only thing that the prophecy told, and it was unknown to what would happen when the purple dragon was born.

I used to not believe that the prophecy was true, but that was back when I was but a young dragon. I, like the other Dragon Guardians, have protected the dragon eggs during the Year of the Dragon since we were given this role by our forerunners, guarding them so that new dragons will be born. It was during this year that we were given a certain dragon egg that the prophecy has spoken about, a purple dragon egg. Our hopes was elevated, knowing that this one egg could do so many good things. And yet, the Dark Master wanted to extinguish this hope like he did many times before.

I am known as Ignitus, the Guardian of Fire, and the one dragon who was last seen with the purple dragon egg. It was my duty to watch over the egg, alongside the other Guardians in the Dragon Temple. Alongside the Guardian of Electricity, Volteer, the Guardian of Ice, Cyril, and the Guardian of Earth, Terrador, we made an oath to protect the purple dragon egg with our very lives, as well as the other eggs. Helping us was the hybrid, a black dragon who went by the name of Neo. He had suffered a lot during the Age of Darkness, loosing many who were close to him. This was why he was with us, he had nothing to lose, and he would do anything to stop the suffering.

But despite all our experience and powers, and the reinforcements we got suddenly, we couldn't stop the Dark Master's forces from sieging the temple and destroying the dragon eggs. We knew we couldn't stop them, and yet I did everything in my power to keep the purple dragon safe. I had planned to send the egg away from evil's grasp, where he would be found by another and hopefully be raised properly.

Needless to say, I was surprised when Neo brought along another dragon egg to be with the purple dragon, a black dragon egg. I would of guessed that Neo had an interest in this dragon egg, and I knew that a black dragon egg could only mean that it held a black dragon, who were just as rare as a purple dragon egg. With my knowledge of what a black dragon could do, I knew that the Dark Master would try to get his claws on the egg and turn the black dragon into his next apprentice, as he had did with another black dragon before it was slain...Cyril a Dragon elder like me was grateful....after-all it was his Granddaughter

Neo stayed back to hold off the Dark Master's forces, while I escaped the Dragon Temple with both eggs. I knew where they would be safe, but I didn't know for how long. Escaping into the swamp, I soon found a desolate place where I thought the eggs would be safe. But apparently it wasn't that desolate, as I'd soon find out. It was home to two dragonflies, recently married, and were expecting a child of their own. They saw me with the dragon eggs, and after a conversation, I convinced them to take in the eggs and raise the dragons as their own. What better way to raise dragons if they thought they were something else, not knowing of their origins and what existed around them until they grew up.

Knowing that the eggs were safe, I returned to the Dragon Temple to help against the siege, but when I arrived, I was too late. The dragon eggs were smashed, and half of the Dragon Guardians were captured. Only Neo and Cyril remained, while Volteer and Terrador were brought to an unknown location. Knowing that the Apes would return, we went into hiding in the swamps, keeping clear from where the dragon eggs were until the time has come.

But little did I know, that time would come sooner then I expected - Ingitus Intro

A ice Dragon Cyril was sleeping in the remains of trashed section of the temple near the swamps..ever since the defeat he had retreated to the swamps, His nightmare had grown more along with his guilt

In his dream he was standing face to face with a cloaked entity from his past and to top it off the faceless hatchings he failed to save

"Why are you doing this...What misery are you bringing...Stop, I'm sorry" always saying in his nightmare, it seemed to always end when the hatchlings disappeared and the Cloaked figure stepped forward to state this "Your useless....Teacher"

Cyril woke up slowly, getting up he decided to take a small walk, he neared the statue of Malefor,
His eyes grew to mirror the statue's and he sighed "Your time will come Malefor....and yet I know you are just merely a pawn in this" as he spoke a red Dragon walked across...Ignitus.
"His time will come, but I fear there will be losses before his reign is over." Ignitus said to Cyril as he walked from behind a ruined wall to where Cyril and the statue was. "All we can do, is wait till the time has come." He looked at the statue, sighing. "I still remember when I was young, when Malefor was banished. I thought that it would be the end of him...I was wrong." He paused. "We all were wrong."

Cyril was sleeping in the remains of some unknown temple near the swamps..ever since the defeat he had retreated to the swamps, His nightmare had grown more. In his dream he was standing face to face with a cloaked entity from his past "Why are you doing this...What misery are you bringing..keep this up and you shall be worse then male for" He would always say in his nightmare, which the figure would turn into horrible things before Cyril would bust out of the nightmare in sweat. Cyril getting up decided to take a small walk, he neared the statue of Malefor, His eyes grew to mirror the statue's and he sighed "Your time will come Malefor"
........

Argil woke up in the cave he stayed in. The blue dragon sighed Malefor had caused a grave amount of damage ever since he began his evil rule. Malefor might have been gone but one day he might return.

Argil had hoped that one day The Purple Dragon would arise and stop the evil that purged The Dragon Realms. He walked off to get something to eat another morning beginning however during which A swamp creature of some kind interrupted Argil on his quest for food. "Don't you know not to interrupt a dragon who is hungry?" Argil said tossing the creature high into the sky and far away with his horns. He kinda did hate those type of creatures, weren't for different things then there be no hate, Argil laughed at the idea of Peace and jumped into a nearby pond to take a swim and hopefully find food...because who knows he could be dead by the next day, too bad he had to dismiss this thought he was late for the meeting again
...........

"But I worry for the future of our kind...the rest have gone into hiding or are dead, and worse my old friend...He is out there.....You know who I'm talking off" Cyril stammered. By now another Dragon had woken up and traveled down stream to them.
"Yes, he could be out there, doing who knows what. I fear the worst for him..." Ignitus sighed

"Ignitus i have faith that the dragons i told to flee are still alive, I would like permission to leave to find them and bring them back" the Newcomer stated
Ignitus turned his head to Singular, one of the dragons who lead the defense on the Dragon Temple. If it wasn't for him, there would be more casualties. "Agreed, Singular. We need all the help we could get, though we must still wait for the time to come."

He turned to the nearby stream when he saw Argil come out of it, bowing to them. He arched a brow when Argil said that he got carried away with lunch. "The more help, the better."

"We would need the help anyway, specially in the coming times." A black dragon walked out from behind the trees, a dragon whom Ignitus and those who were at the Temple would know. Neo nodded to the newcomer Argil, a sign of acknowledgment as well as Singluar. "I fear that the Apes are trying to resurrect Malefor, they've been stirring deep in the Swamps, looking for something... or someone." Argil nodded at Neo in return. "Could they know something?" then Argil asked "I mean how we know they might even try to bring that nutcase back"


......

Meanwhile, Spyro yawned as he woke up, having slept in his home alongside Sparx, Cynder, and their parents. The home was just a large log that was hollowed out, though with some work done by his parents, it was made into a good home. "Morning already..." He mumbled, still tired.

Sparx a dragonfly and brother to Spyro in some ways blasted off from his sleep "HEY, morning my purple pal. Whoa! You don't look so hot. I told you. 8 hours every night. What were you doing last night?... ...actually, you know, I don't even wanna know. Anyways, how about we go to the nearby lake, a swampy swim will make you feel much better. Maybe we'll even find some of that blueberry flavored grass we found yesterday, man, I'm starved." He however turned his way to the Black Dragoness "Hey, you coming Cynder? You awake Cynder? Cynder!!!!??"

Cynder eyed the two, "Thank goodness I'm not blood related..I was enjoying my sleep thank you very much" In her Tone of voice she so often used. She slowy got up, "So what's happening today then boys" Her voice had changed to a sweet yet curious tone...yet she had the impression she was still bitter

....

Spyro saw Cynder getting up, first a little annoyed but then changed her tone of voice. He knew they weren't related, and yet he still felt a brother-sister bond between him and her. It was on accident that he and Cynder found Ignitus, and the two dragons, having decided to explore the old ruins one night; since then, he and Cynder had been sneaking out at night to visit them, even though it wasn't much of a secret with Flash and Nina. As for Sparx, he didn't find that out yet...

Spyro rolled his eyes at Sparx. "Sparx, don't you stay up at night too?" He raised a brow. "And just when did you care about how much you sleep at night?"
.....
Meanwhile a group of ape's went looking for something, Unaware of the lurking danger in the water, it raised it's tail like a submarine..pointed for the ape that leaded in front, the ape gasped as he saw it come right for him, it stabbed right through his chest, The other apes howled in terror..no doubt anyone in the swamp could hear it, the other apes would come..but for now..carnage ensures for this group, the remaining member jumped with a sword to cut the tail, the creatures mouth broke from the water and bited the ape's face off pretty much, the other ape ran..but he was blasted to ash by this creatures acid like beam. The creature sinked back into the water of the swamp...Jack hated apes.
The ape screams that could easily be heard throughout the entire swamp carried to Spyro's family and also to where Ignitus and the other dragons were hiding.

"Did you hear that?!" Sparx exclaimed. Sometimes it wasn't clear whether he was scared or just loved attention. "Was that my stomach that just growled? I must be hungrier than I realized."

Spyro and Cynder ignored Sparx as they looked at each other wondering what it was they heard.
Spyro's parents woke up to the noise and checked the whelplings. "Is everything alright?", the Trio nodded as Nina flew near Cynder
"Im alright Nina..Thank you"

Cynder always knew she wasn't anyone's sister....Spyro and sparx were great friends, and flash and Nina were very protective off her..but really most nights she would spend with Cyril...her Grandfather,His always protective over her on the account she is the only living family member left...losing her would break him apart...but she wasn't always with him she only would sleep with Spyro's family when Cyril was busy.

"I don't know but i don't like the sound of it" she asked

.........

"Apes!" Argil growled hearing their screams. "Their close!"
Ignitus turned his head to the direction of the screams, grimacing. "Seems you are right, but they are not making warcries...those are screams of terror." He turned back to Cyril and the other dragons. "Something else is in the swamps..."

"Possibly looking for the same thing." Neo muttered. "I don't like it one bit.", this temped Cyril to bit his lip, there was only one thing that could want to achieve this....
.......
Spyro quickly looked around once he heard the sound of screams, not only worried about what made them, but what caused the screams. Ignitus told him about the Apes, and he feared that they were looking for him, concerned about what would happen to Cynder, Sparx, and the rest of the family if they did find him. "I don't like the sound of it either..."

Sparx ignored it like nothing "Well, you know, Spyro, even though we're brothers, we're different. Mom said so. She once went on about how you were different from the rest of us, and that I shouldn't make fun of you being purple... yada, yada, yada, I don't know I wasn't really listening to her. Anyways, I don't need as much sleep. See I'm energetic, quick, small, and smart. And your not as energetic, slow, er... fat, and err, you get the idea--We're different."

What Sparx didn't know was exactly how different Spyro and Cynder were to him and his parents. Despite Sparx's outgoing and nosey personality, he was surprisingly naive about the secrets Spyro and Cynder kept from him. And perhaps Spyro dreaded the day he would tell him the truth, for he wasn't sure how Sparx would react.

It was then that screams had been heard, and after Flash and Nina checked the whelplings' safety, they rushed just outside the hollow home to investigate.

Spyro and Cynder then expressed their displeasure of the noise. "Thine i try to ignore the creepy screaming but nooo you had to think about it some more"
Spyro walked to Cynder. "You think they know we're here?" He whispered to her. "How would they know?" He sighed, before looking to Sparx after he made comments about him. "Sparx, thats because you tend to oversleep when you do." He raised a brow. "And ya, I get the idea..." He rolled his eyes.


Cynder on the other hand didn't want to look for whatever it was, she would be right with anything else...but creepy noises, "And this is the reason why i go to sleep" shaking..she saw a glance of sparx..who was looking pale, and then spyro..who had a clam like expression on him, She always liked the brother and sister type relationship with him,
but there was that feeling it could evolve more then friends,..She always had a fancy for him..She shook the thought of it away, for all she knew...he didn't feel the same way, best to keep it for herself
and now isn't really the best of times.

.....

Malefor sighed as he watched the life force of the apes dwindle in his prison, *If i don't get out of here with power soon...He will come to finish me off, i have to activate the cycle as fast as I can*
He grew annoyed with the long waiting "Hurry up you Fools", did it matter he was alone...but not for much longer for a large Ape known as Borg landed in a forest area of the swamp and let out a loud screech that could be herd for miles, "Apes Torch this place, lets reduce the swamps to a firepit", as he spoke large groups of apes riding dreadwings backed up, Gaul dismounted his and exaimed the area
"It's Whelp hunting time", Borg noticed the gem he had...this gem for only Malefor's finest allowed him to contact malefor, Borg used telepathy to contact Malefor indeed after he crushed the gem and let the power fuel him

"Master I am in the swamp where the purple dragon might be your orders sir?" Asked Borg, Malefor snapped at the signal "Your late but this shall be ignored depending how the mission goes, I want the dragon along with the elders alive so that thier source may be used",
Borg nodded before closing the channel while Malefor on the other hand gazed down to a vision of apes at the well of souls escorting a large black dragoness..Xira, "I have a mission for you Xira", Malefor spoke through to his faithful general, "Go and get the Sources of power from the Elders of all Elements"....Xira smiled "Of course master, however afterwards...let me toy with them".

............


Below the grounds at the well of souls, a curious manweersmall by the name of Bernard was looking for a rare species of earthworm for a special recipe when he breached the surface he overheard the Borg's commands.
Frieghtned, Bernard scurried back underground and didn't stop until he reached the undergroung city. He told Mole-Yair, leader of the manweersmalls, everything that he wittnessed. Mole-Yair had understood the history of the dragon race, but had not encountered one he was a small manweersmall. He knew that any dragons still in existance would be in danger, so he started drawing up a plan that would aide them.

Singular spoke first "You guys go get the Children, i'll gather my gang and fend off most of them...this will one historic Battle "One you won't survive though!" Said Borg coming into the clearing.

"I am Borg servant and warrior of the Dark Master Malefor tell me where is the location of the black and purple dragons and their names and then say your farewells you look like you might be trouble so I'll do you the honor of ending your lives here!"

"I'm ready Sigular got everything ready but this guy might be trouble!" Said Argil getting ready.

Ignitus kept quite when Borg, as he called himself, came. Borg smiled before backing away as Hordes of Apes neared the dragons...to thier suprise the Apes too then backed away into the Swamps dense bushes.It was then the Fire Guardian spoke. "We must find Spyro and Cynder before he does." He growled as he started to walk away from the ruin clearing, soon going into a run.

Neo nodded. "Right behind you." He calmly said before he followed after Ignitus."

"But what about the other thing?" Spyro whispered back. "Apes won't be a problem, but I have a bad feeling that something else is here..."

Cynder just looked around "Don't worry they won't catch us..I hope" She started to look a bit pale too, "Then again smelly greasy ape's won't catch me..." She started to chuckle a bit.


The corpses of the dead ape's started to rise...they formed into reptile like creatures...like Full of killling machines designed for combat, now

*Infect...Infect..INFECT...INFECT!*

It was pretty much the baseline of that line of thought however still under the murky water the creature sensed the dragons close, better yet they were near the place, He swam towards it.

Spyro's parents came to him in understanding. "If you need to leave Spyro, do so quickly," Nina said. "Me and your father think that it would be best if you found Ignitus."

Spyro was at first confused on his parents' knowledge, but accepted it for what it was. Sparx, however... "Wait!? Who is Ig-nice-to-us?" Sparx sensed danger, worry, and concern from everybody, but was very confused in the end. For the most part, he was willing to keep most questions to himself for the time being. For he knew that time was breathing a momentous threat and this was no time for a query session, even with as unknown as the threat is to him.

"Wherever you are going, Spyro, I need to go with you so I can protect you. After all, I'm the one with the street smarts, or swamp smarts, or whatever."

Spyro didn't want to leave his parents, but he had no choice. They were after him, but if Sparx wanted to join, he knew he wouldn't stop him anyway. "Alright, alright." He said unsure. "We will have to head back to the old ruins, I just hope they are still there." He started to head off. "Come on Cynder! You too Sparx!"

Meanwhile, Ignitus and Neo went through the swamps, heading the same way that Spyro, Cynder and Sparx would be going soon. They would meet up soon, but Ignitus didn't know that Spyro would be heading right towards him.

Unkown to them The Apes were also heading to thier direction, and to top it off the now Swarmfied corpses and wildlife of creatures were nearing too all the while as the Main leader entity stalked further in the water, this was going to be one hell of a battle.

The Teens ran, Cynder however seemed to take the lead of this running game, after all her posture wasn't bulk but speed and boy was she speeding "Be careful Spyro," Flash lovingly yelled as they ran away. "And Sparx..." Sparx turned around to soak in his Father's words. "Try not to slow Spyro down." Sparx's expression flipped from grateful to a mild disappointment. But was rushed by Cynder's quick feet.

"Slow down, girl!" he bellowed Spyro was of course last in line, chasing after Cynder now. "I thought you could keep up with her?" Spyro asked Sparx, Sparx thought of the perfect excuse to his lack of speed. "Well, I would pass her, but I don't even know where we are going. Where are these old ruins anyway?".

A scout Ape bursted out of the bushes to Borg "Sir this way", Borg felt like a idioit he was right there and had he known they were heading to the temple again he wouldn't of left those dragons..."Get ready it's time for the pack to feast"

.........

Singluar finally caught up to his crew "Listen guys and gals were got to go now and help, the time has come for the War to really boil down so send word to the refugee tunnels to supply soldiers,medics or anyone useful" gasps and whispers ran among the small crowd,as he stated others took to the air to get going with the job.

Borg could cleary see this from the ground as the forest he was in had a short sight of the landscape "All Dreadwing Riders patrol the area while the fire burns down the area...The temple protects the small land so anything else will be burnt giving us not much ground to cover and scout thus making the job easier....Engage those dragons but leave them if they go too far"

Agril however saw this also "Allies looks like the plan has begun...he quickly changed the subject at the felt of the streams presence "Something is in there..Dammit" Cyril sighed having a hunch "Using the murky water to converge and remain on cover as expected from a student after all i did train him"
"You know who he is is he a threat or a friend?" Asked Argil...Cyril gave him the look that literally said i don't know

Singluar took flight with the others "Stick to the plan Neo will be sure to keep the Purple One safe, lets escort the messengers out of here and give support to anyone in the area"

as he spoke mid-flight a Dreadwing collided with him, He turned around fast to knock it off him regaining posture and stuck his tail through the ape's chest and fired the red lightning exploded the other one into oblivon " GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME YOU DIRTY STINKING APES"

More dreadwings followed however Singulars band engaged, bodies of dragons and apes alike fell to the ground.

.............

"Grandfather!" Cyril turned around to see cynder run up to him, "We were just going to find you little one" She nodded "Spyro and Sparx are not far behind" When Sparx entered the clearing where Cyril was reunited with Cynder, he grew scared. "Aaahhhh! Cynder watch out! There's a giant evil blue dragonfly next to you oh wait that's your pappa...but what about THOSE THINGS...thier gonna eat you!!!"

As his words left his little mouth, he began to understand his mistake. They were big beats, but he noticed resemblance between him and the 'freaks' Spyro and Cynder.

"Wait? What the hell is going on?" Ignitus was surprised to see Cynder coming up to Cyril, soon followed by the purple dragon, Spyro. "Spyro, Cynder...we were just coming to get you. What happened?"

Spyro sighed. "We heard...something in the swamps. Our parents told us that we should flee."

"I see." Ignitus grimaced.

Spyro turned his attention to Sparx; guessing the secrets out now. "Sparx, this is Cyril and Ignitus. Their...dragons, like me and Cynder." He explained.

"Indeed." Neo soon arrived. "I am surprised that the dragonfly haven't heard of us yet, being one of the more abundant race...or so we used to be."
Sparx was speechless. But eventually came to fruition. "I see, so I'm a dragonfly and you are all just dragons, brecause you can't fly." Sparx nodded with his self-confidence. "If you learned to fly like me, then maybe your numbers wouldn't be so few." Sparx flew circles around the entire dragon group feeling dominant.

Sparx slowly glued the pieces together in his mind: The covers from his parents, Spyro and Cynder's 'disappearances,' and the gratuitous visual differences. And he grew slightly depressed at his naivete.

"Why did you keep this from me Spyro?! I thought we were best buddies--we tell everything to each other." "What was I supposed to do? We only found out about this a few weeks ago. What was I supposed to say, "Oh, it turns out we're not your brother?"" Spyro sighed. "Sparx, even though we're not related, your still a brother to me. Nothing will change that."

"Spyro kept the truth from you in fear of what could happen." Ignitus explained. "There are people out there who are looking for him. If they knew that someone close to him knew where he was, they would capture them, interrogate them, and then eliminate them. The truth was kept from you to keep you alive, but since you will be coming along, it doesn't matter anymore." "Dad!" Cyril turned around to see cynder run up to him, "We were just going to find you little one" She nodded "Spyro and Sparx are not far behind"
"Ok, I guess I can understand." Sparx couldn't stand being out of the loop. He'd rather know all the information, even if it killed him. "Just promise me that there will be no more secrets between us anymore." "I promise Sparx." Spyro smiled. After all, there wasn't anything else to keep a secret anymore, now that Sparx knew that Spyro and Cynder were dragons and not related by blood. "Spyro...it is time for you to learn your elements, Maybe once we near somewhere safe...But the first element Fire should come naturally to you, Cynder show him your element"She walked near the water...and with a lift of her talon the water rose making shapes..Cyril just chuckled a bit."I use water...i'm still not good at it through" she replied

"Hello Dragons...We meet you little one at last" Everyone turned to see a Apes once again "This time we are going to fight you, i promise your death will be shift if you surrender now" The Trio got behind Cyril and Ignitus as Argil and Neo stepped to the front side
"Oh and how do you think it's going to go? smooth because let me tell you...it's not" barked Neo" Cyril and argil started to notice the apes surrounding them as well as the water getting restless, without warning from behind thier backs strange creatures emerged...and then finally the Main one showed, bursting out of the water and landing behind the Group.
Cyril bared his fangs "Jack!"

Sparx hide behind a rock to scared to do a thing, Jack had suddenly burst from the water and was near Cynder, His tail sprang and grabed hers pulling her back and holding her around her waist.
"So your Cyril's Grandfaughter nice to meet you, don't worry i mean no harm...well extreame harm anyway" Before anything else could happen, a creature jumped out of the water, shocking both Spyro But his shock would soon change to anger as he growled at Jack. "Get away from her!" He dashed forward to try to get him away from Cynder, Jack took a step to the side as Spyro passed, Why the apes were not attacking was beyond them, however it looked like they wanted to see how this would end.
"You need to think kid...as one of the clan it should be expected" Spyro stopped "What do you mean?" By now the Adults wanted nothing more but to smash this one down, cyril broke the silence "You think Spyro is blood related to the clan?" Jack spat back "Of course, a clan that big wiped out in a single night would have to have survivours, Aunty was Pregnant and the egg was Purple" He chucked a Ruby near Spyro that shined "See" he stated.
Cyril countered back "And your doing this out of what? Fear...Hate for the death of your Clan and later your Friends?" Jack's eyes intensed as he laughed in a creepy way "Of Course, when my friends were killed i had found out thier and my Clan's killers..I slaughtered them all and left them to die in the worst ways, but i knew this world would have people like those so i decided...To ensure a way to keep it peaceful forever"
Neo had stepped in "Your becomming worse then them if you cause this, i get the impression having loved ones lost is horroific, how did you make those ape and Dog clans feel...Oh yeah I heard the news" By now cynder had mastered enough time to fully freeze his tail and smash it as she ran back near to Cyril "Sorry but you" she replied.
Jack stared at the place "Come with me Mentor, you and the dragons, we can let this world die and then live in it's peaceful reborn one" Ignitus turned to disgust "And leave everything else to die?" Jack nodded "Some must be used for good terms".
Spyro by now was near ready to pounce back at him "If what you said is true then I am your cousin, which means you have been watching me ever since...But this doesn't mean anything, Family don't hurt Family". Jack yelled back "You Spyro are going to let the clan be reborn, along with being the leader of this new world, Our clan was hunted down due to fear's that if Purple blood mixed with ours...Our clan would be godlike"
Jack started to purr in a suggestive tone "It's said that the legend of a new dawn will be lead when the purple dragon's mate gives birth...and since your feelings for ahem" Spyro widended at this he was unsure about the whole thing; he had been drawn to Cynder even though he thought they were brother and sister in the past, and when he learned that they weren't related at all, it somewhat drawn him more to Cynder. Though he didn't know if Cynder felt the same.

Now the apes charged and attacked "Touching but this isn't going anywhere" Borg shouted Aswell as Jack's swarm rushed...if the dragons didn't do anything they would be creamed "Your not touching him or her....Or i'll tear your guts out and eat them" Jack retorted

Neo, however, would glared at Borg, growling. "From one thing to another..." He paused as he sensed something. "And the one thing leads to another danger..." Just as soon as he said that, Jack's minions charged out from nowhere. Neo would instantly react by slamming his tail blade into the side of one of them, knocking it to the ground. "Two threats at once, perfect...." He muttered, Jack slowy ran off.

Borg's right hand suddenly turned into a blade and he chopped one of Jack's minion's heads off. Borg fired an energy beam from his left one at another turning it to ashes in seconds. The Apes charged and started doing their best to kill of Jack's troops.

"This is not over not by a long shot but I don't like it when others get in my way we will team up for now dragons!"

Argil used his tail and whacked one of Jack's minions aside. Argil then jumped into the swamp water and came out tossing one of the minions into the water and drowning him after using his hind leg to kick him under the water. Cyril Froze one minion and Then broke it into tiny shards.
Spyro literally started to kick and defend himself, however he found the Swarm was being much nicer by doing non critcal strikes at him and the group.
"Where's Jack though?" Asked Argil, Neo replied "Coward must of buggered off" that was correct as they charged he had retreated to the skies, *I did not account and let my emotions ruin this..Next time kid*.
Argil summoned a huge tidal wave with his power of water washing a good portion of the army away.

Borg's apes kept on fighting some diying some killing. Borg himself was surrounded by several of the creatures. "Die you putrid things!" He said spinning around using his blade to slice and dice them.

"There are too many of them and we don't know where Jack is Ignitus, you okay back there?" Argil asked as one of the minions tried to attack but Argil froze him and shatterd him to nothingness with his tail blade.
One of the creatures lauched towards cynder, She used her ice spell to freeze it.

"Whoa..I did it", Spyro after tail whacking one gave her a smile "Nice"
One of the creatures lauched towards cynder, She used her ice spell to freeze it. "Whoa..I did it" Jack Could see the ocean could make a swimming water type minion..and the sky could makes ones that fly...This would get interesting.
Argil used his water breath to send some down into the river drowing them.

Borg cut one's head off and then slashed one into nothing with his blade.

"I can't believe I'm going to say this but don't give up yet Argil we need to keep fighting but a plan would be helpful!"
Spyro stepped back as one of the creatures started to come towards him, frightened. It soon charged at him, and without knowing what to do, Spyro did whatever came on his mind. That thing, surprisingly to him, was breath fire, burning the creature. "Did I just...?" He said "We can't take them on one at a time." Neo said as he cut one in two. "We need to take them all down at the same time."

Ignitus head butted a charging one, knocking it back before he killed it with a powerful swipe. "I agree with you Neo." He looked to Cyril. "Cyril, I will need your help, our furies combined would be enough to clear them out."
The Creatures Retreated..Some of them even formed into each other..Creating one Big Troll size creature...It looked like a T-rex From Hell.

A robed hooded figure watched Jack and his forces pass through the Ebon Mountains and into the rest of Avaria, a staff wrapped by organic withering flesh held in his right hand. The wretched raptor wyvern would of messed his plans up if it wasn't for the fact that the village at the base of Ebon Trail was deserted when he came through; the man wouldn't of wanted his own minions to fall to the demented creature. But maybe Jack would be of a benefit, possibly drawing away the suspicion of Jeuno. A sinister grin formed on the man's face. "Perfect."
Ignitus was relieved to see the creatures Jack created retreat, but his relief changed when he saw some of them form into a large creature. The Fire Guardian took a few steps back to be cautious. "I'd say that Jack learned a trick or two since he left you, Cyril." He commented.

Spyro was scared as the large creature came closer. He never encountered anything of that size before!

Neo, on the other hand, smirked. "Smaller enemies retreat and the large one comes, just like old times." He chuckled. "I was wondering when we would get a more challenging opponent anyway."

Meanwhile a lone bright red dragon soldier stood guard at the cave, keeping an eye out for anything of interest. Out of the corner of his eye, he soon spotted something small appear over the Ebon Mountains, not looking like a Dreadwing, or anything organic. "A airship?" He asked himself as the it became more defined until it dropped into the swamps and out of view.
"Hmph aren't you a big boy at least we finally got a challenge!" Argil ran up the creature's back and then rammed into the side of it's head. knocking it back

"The bigger they are the harder they fall!" Borg said jumping on to the ground and punching it with his right fist creating a red shockwave that knocked the creature back. His left hand then turned into a blade and slashed along the side of it's face. Argil and Borg landed on the ground.

"Hey old timers are you going to use your furies yet or are we going to stand around here all day looking at that thing!" Said Borg to Ignitus and Cyril.

"Shut up!" Said Argil growling at him.

Borg laughed. "Sheesh calm down take some anger management but really we could use the help!"
The Creature was cut..But *bleep*ed..It took a stomp on Borg, More likly he would be pushing all his might to get the foot off, so it guessed it had it pinned..It's tail Reached towards Cyril and warped itself around him...Like a Constricter, It shot fumes at Neo and Igy...These fumes were explosive..if he even tried a fire attack..he would get blasted in the air, However Argil shot ice at the foot, making the Monster stir and lift it's weight off Borg, Borg sliced a chunk of it which in turn gave cyril the chance to turn his scales to ice shards stabbing the tail's grasp.

The creature then figured th group had distanced itself away from them as Neo shot fire at it...the chemicals exploded which Ignitus shielded a firewall for everyone protecting them, Borg shieled himself with a sword that Malefor had given him...was nothing special but it did prove good for resisting elemental attacks if used like a shield. Borg noticed that most of his troops were cut off or dead decided to make a run for it, Neo was about to take run before Argil pat his shoulder "He ain't worth it, we got a mission..besides his mine".

Human owned land Meanwhile, somewhere in the Swamps but close to the Ebon Mountains, a small four manned airship slowed its decent as it reached the swamp floor, the propellers keeping it up slowing down to allow it to hover before the landing gear came out, allowing it to land. One of the passengers, a 27 year old man with dark brown hair, sighed with relief as the airship finally arrived at its destination. He was wearing a brown leather buttoned jacket with white fuzz on around the collar and a pair of navy pants, suited for the cold snowy climate that Jeuno always had. Holstered on his right leg was a steam powered pistol, as well as ammo for it. Leon doubted he would need it, but he didn't want to be caught off guard.

"Well, here we are." The airship's pilot called out, a older man wearing aviator gear complete with a pair of goggles. "Southern Avaria Swamps, a few miles away from the Ebon Mountains and the location where the disappearing happened."

*My name is Leon Scott Kennedy, I'll be brief with you all...Before the Dark Master Malefor rised a Human known as Gablotrix used his steampunk machines to take over lands, soon human armies and he marched to enslave the world. Dragon Riders who Humans and Dragons cooperated with each other challenged him but in the end they both were killed, A unkown black dragon along with a human according to the legends started a war, through they are myths now they are stated to be a cause and were in legue with Malefor during his teens.
Now a Company named Umbrella have been using other races along with biological chemicals, a friend of mine had a brother who's team suffered vast deaths..to quote the living dead, Malefor is but another warlord to us, he tried to invade but his forces and himself were defeated with ease...but now reports come in that something else is stirring*
Leon nodded to the pilot. "Thanks for the information." He opened up the side door and stepped outside. "I will see you back in Jeuno; hopefully the disappearings will just be Apes and nothing else."

"Don't get your hopes up." The pilot said before Leon closed the airship's door. The airship soon took off once Leon was some distance away, disappearing from sight as it flew above the swamps.

Leon sighed, shaking his head. "Its never that simple..." He muttered, taking out his pistol.

Dreadwings and dragons alike...dead on the ground, Singular was wounded bad as he couldn't fly without a broken leg..nearing a cave he saw a dragon he had always known Orion."Only 9 of us survied." He dropped his head as he spoken painfully. "When we arrived at this cave, three eventually decided to hide somewhere else in case the cave got compromised. They headed north towrds Warfang to warn and help any innocent inhabitance they would run into. The rest of us stayed here. We figured we should leave the cave soon for we fear the swamp is becoming occupied by the Dark Master. It was a good thing I found you, eh?" Orions voice ascended from sorrow to joy. "Oh, Singular, they'll be so glad to see and know that you were alive! This is the best news they've heard since we fled."
They both observed they were not alone as most of the other survivours neared "Status Man" stated Singluar
"Yes sir." The red dragon nodded, before he saw that airship leave the swamps. "That airship arrived here a few minutes ago..." He said, watching it go over the Ebon Mountains. "Why would Jeuno send an airship here? There is nothing in the swamps but Apes and bugs..."
The dragon smiled "Maybe thier come for aid?" Singluar sighed "Humans have not even bothered since the refugee's become part of thier lands, they don't care for anyone in these lands ever since the Dragon riders become dead". Orion noticed the tone of Singular, a dragon that revered his brother before most. "I'm sorry," Orion said, "I forget you don't know us as well as..." He hesitated to say the name. He then lifted his posture and corrected himself. "You carry more than his blood, Sir. You remind me of him when I see you and hear your voice."

Orion introduced the dragons in the cave. This is Veer, our fire master and his apprentice Magden, our ice dragons Frozenta and Clearborne, and our young electric trainee, Surgo. Electric dragons Gizz and Alkanus and earth dragon Giamia traveled north."The cave had few rationed green and red gems that were scattered between the dragons' living spaces. They would soon run out. It was the real reason why the decision to leave was imminent.

..........

Neo was tired "Well that was somefight" Everyone nodded in agreement, "Well least those things were busy fighting the apes" Cyril inquired, Spyro now confused "He knew me my whole life before i was born...I wish i had known him, before he is well you
know" Cyril smiled "He was quite a excellent child he was" he then frowned "But i'm afraid he has lost the plot" Neo was reminded how alike he and Jack were, the same things happended to them but he took one path, Jack took the other apprantely.
Sparx by now had arised from the rock and was glowing colours "Im more happy to laugh at that legend..Baby Spyro's...Better get busy with cynder" Soon enough he started to laugh, Spyro started to chase him around, Cynder blushed madly...Everyone else had the look of facepalm.
"Ignitus where is this Mole we are meeting?" as Argil spoke soon enough Bernard appeared "Sir ze tunnel to the passage that leads to warfang is done, i'll take the small ones and meet you at the entrance okay dookie" Without notice a Rock reveled a large hole...only big enough for One adult dragon and two teens...and maybe a dragonfly.
"Sirry Ignitus ze time and cost was a bit much all thesz yearz" Neo nodded "Guess me, Cyril and Agril will meet up later at Warfang, Safe trip"
As they went in the Tunnel it was shut and sealed from the other side no doubt.

Cyril sighed as he took flight with the remainder, this trip would bring old tales again :Blood oozed from the hill...there was rain..but a fire could be seen, it wouldn't matter...the fire would die with this rain but it interested him..to find the source of the blood...He neared as he saw a House extended..Burning, Corpses everywhere...He saw a body of a limp red dragon...A Small wyvern child griefing over it..He extended his paw to him..the child glanced up and saw the dragon...Cyril Spoke softly "Okay...It's okay...I'll be here for you" The child nerveous at first but embraced the Ice Dragon and sobbing deep in his arms. He snapped back out of his thought trance as he gazed towards Neo and Agril who was um seemed to be flying around without a care, he really was a child at heart still, Neo on the other hand was deep in thought too :This stirred up old memories, memories he wanted to keep suppressed. Death of his family...friends...his mate, all because of the evil that is Malefor. He wasn't always named Neo...it was a mask to him.

"Neo, are you okay?" Cyril asked the black dragon, snapping Neo out of his thought.

"I-I am fine...just some bad memories, nothing special." He sighed. Ignitus knew about his past along with Cyril, how much he lost. It was Ignitus who found him lying outside Warfang, wounded with multiple cuts across him, a scar running across his right eye...one which would still be there. The Fire Guardian took him in, which was when he created the mask known as Neo, and it was when he took an oath to fight against Malefor even if it meant loosing his own life.
"Cyril do you mind if i ask you a question?" Cyril looked at Neo and nodded "Tell me why is it that I lost everything and yet that Wavern has while going into that dark path" Cyril sighed "I believe it was there from his young age of the attack, The Council did not know much about the clan but they were stronger in everyway then the average dragon, i guess it made him fragile to loss in a way and gave him a way to hate, he always did want to get back in a way...stil he was a cheerful and funny little kid who understanded empathy" Cyril looked back and forth.
"There was another Boy i refuse to tell, a child about his age who looked alot like Spyro and the child...he was quite adventureous and wanted to do the right thing, when the town was attacked in his teen his body was among them while jack was no-where to be found, I found him walking down a hill, he told me idea's..about stopping all this fighting and war through rebirth, I stated he was insane and then he just left, I believe his become bitter or such in a way"
.........

Borg was ready for another insult of Failure by his Master, he opended the Gem channel again "Yes Yes Borg, Jack the Wavern of harvest as urban legend says, through you failed me you have shown that the dragons are organised, I have tasked Xira and Gaul to the other Element masters..Focus on the other two"
The channel once again cut.

............

Leon was getting lost now, the shortcut through these tunnels was bad..he took a step and walked into Benard "So much for stealth..." He remarked.

"A human?" Ignitus asked, noticing the apparel of him. "What brings a human from Jeuno here?"
"I would ask why dragons are here even for this old cave, specially a purple dragon." Leon replied back. "My name's Leon Scott Kennedy; I was sent here to investigate the growing number of disappearances in the Ebon Mountain area. Jeuno sent in another group to investigate about a week ago...they never came back."

"Disappearances?" Ignitus repeated.

Leon nodded. "Anyone who came through the Ebon Mountains through Ebon Trail just disappeared; moles, draconians, anything and anyone. Once the situation became more grim, they decided to send me to investigate as my first mission."

"Why would they only send one person when you lost a whole group?" Spyro asked. "It doesn't really make sense..."

"It doesn't, Spyro, unless Leon here is a part of the Agency." Ignitus replied to Spyro before looking back to Leon. "Am I right?" He asked, Leon nodding.

Sparx whizzed around "So ugh Spyro what you think of coronal crazy and brother from your mother looney" Spyro glanced back "I feel sorry for him yet i can't forgive the things he has done, it's confusing sparx in a way that i feel familiar with him and yet don't know him" Ignitus cut in "When in a egg it is often rumored that you feel things and hear things shown for you" by now cynder was cutting in to ask "I know why they are after Spyro but why me?" Ignitus sighed "Black Dragons are rare ones indeed, very good at stealth and combat during the night giving them camouflage while also enhancing your blood born Element....Malefor had one serving under him and when he was slain it was time for a replacement, you were going to be that one but thank the ancestors for Neo saving you" Leon hearing this thought it be a nice idea to state this "So if they enhance the element of whatever they mated with then that means pure-blood dragons had no elements at all" Ignitus nodded back indeed

"Shall you be needing a place to hide or escape to? You have carte blanche."
Mole-Yair held it in for too long. "And can scare away that human from us? we shant be conversing with such a despicable creature." Leon got the picture "Well if I'm right this tunnel should lead me to the other section of the mountains, might wanna check again if i got in here who else might"? as leon said that the moles were already happy to hitting the edge of the cave for the rocks to cave in the entrances "Forgive my faux pas, Ignitus, we came to warn you about happenings that were wittnessed at the Well of Souls. Borg is working deeply for the dark master. However it looks like we arrived too little too late. The Professor and his team have been digging into the Ebon mountains for escape from the swamp. They should be nearly finished piercing the small range." "I already met Borg and his Apes, but I still don't know his intentions besides capturing the other Guardians and resurrect Malefor." Ignitus replied. "We also got another crisis on our hands, as Borg isn't the only one after Spyro. A quicker way through the Ebon Mountains would benefit us, as we were heading to Warfang." He paused, looking between Mole-Yair and Leon who was keeping his distance. "Leon is only here to investigate something, but I have a feeling that we would get involved in that something either way...", The moles grunted and laughed "ze human is too stupid to know huh" Leon on the note quickly switched ways "I better follow you guys then"

"I will just tag along until we get to the mountains." Leon replied. "Since we are heading in the same direction."

Ignitus nodded. "Then I wish you luck in the mission you have once when we part ways. Until then, lets move." Spyro decided to talk to Leon, as he never saw a human before. "So, what is Jeuno? Is it any good?"

"Its the biggest and only airship port throughout Avaria." Leon explained. "Its position on the Vanguard Mountains make it a perfect spot for airships to land, though you would have to worry about the constant snowfall and blizzards. Other then that, its pretty good."

Here's some advice: Don't post 16 times in a row just because no one is responding! Also, if no one is responding, that means that they do not want to read your story. Sorry.

Fireball the whole chapter could barley fit in one post, so I kinda had to do this.
Besides if no-one wants to read it who cares it's only here for reply backup

Okay, whatever.

Ignitus was interested now, "So the last i heard of the human lands was you were near civil war?". Leon grunted "It's still near too, i mean after the dark lord and all".........."Dark lord?" Asked spyro in a curious tone, "Spyro the Dark Lord was a powerful human as the legends say that enslaved the dragons and all other races, he was defeated but the aftershock still causes some unsteady issues with interspecies relationships" Spyro glanced back to leon "So what has this got to do with a civil war?" Leon finally stopped in his tracks "Some believe we should go back to the old ways while others do not and thus this thing will just happen...on a plus side once it happens it won't occur again" It was then they reached a stop.

The others had arrived from the otherside
"See no-one followed us Argil it was a foolproof plan" Cyril stated as he touched down "Yeah well why didn't we just fly over?" Neo barged in "Because those Dreadwing swarm would tear us apart" A sign of meer anger and annoyance could be heard, "Well then lets rest and then off to Warfang then" Ignitus announced it quickly as the minute he did say it nearly everyone crashed from exhaustion, Ignitus however walked toward Spyro "Now young one now would be a good time for me and Cyril to improve and perfect your elemental training"....

Through the days were long, the time for them to resume back to warfang was near as the plan stated. The plan was to hide out if a attack could be done and then proceed to warfang for the meeting, Singular and his gang were the messengers for this meeting to happen for when the day arrived, the messenger would seek the other Masters of aspects and Elemental masters along with the refugee cities and ask for their presence while asking for willing soldiers for the events to arise...it was least a hopeful one at least, For the group it wasn't much laying around and having some sort peace, Cyril and Ignitus worked Spyro's butt off for the elements, cynder also had her Ice skills trained, while ignitus did the shadow fire element, Neo often tried too with both of them but Spyro was afraid of the effects so it really didn't last much with Neo.
