Astral: Hey guys here's my new story, decided to try my hand at a crossover but this time

PS:if it looks like a story you have already read it is because I reposted it after my dear brother deleted when I had my back turned. Thankfully I managed to salvage the code of the fic. I battled hard to remove every bit of html coding and redo all the formating, so if you notice a "strong",or "p" or anything that should not be there it is most likely some left over code and it would be nice to message me :)

Prologue:
A twist of Fate

Malefor was beyond angry, he was furious, he had just been sealed away by a whelp with the help of the ancients! And this time there was not much he could do to escape his new prison, most of his minions were dead, and the few who still were alive would be hunted down and they did not even knew where he was. There was just no way for him to escape with their help, and he could not try to corrupt someone from afar, the damnable ancients who trained him were the one to maintain his prison and made sure it was secure enough so that no spells from him would go through the crystal. He was definitely trapped unless he found a way out of this crystal on his own which just seemed even more impossible to him.

He could feel the stares of the ancients on him, how they looked at him with a mix of disappointment,fear, and saddness. He was their greatest accomplishment and disappointment, he who was the fabled purple dragon that appeared once every ten generation and was prophesied to be a savior, finally became the one to nearly destroy the world. Malefor hated how some seem to look at him with pity, as if expecting for him to actually feel remorse. No he would never regret what he did, this was his destiny, the destiny of the purple dragon! Destroy the world so it can be reborn anew. He would never change his mind, he knew the truth and the young whelp Spyro just didn't know it yet. He would one day carry the torch to prove to the entire world that the cycle of death and rebirth could not be denied.

Until that day come he would just wait here in the darkness at the center of the world.

Suddenly, a light reached the purple dragon's eyes. Malefor felt a strange warmth envelop him, there was a magic of unknown nature that started to surround him. The ancients seemed to panic as the magic seemed to break their seal and pull Malefor out of his prison of crystal. The purple dragon rose from the crystal and was engulfed by an orb of blue light and disappeared.

When the light dimmed enough for Malefor to be able to take in his surrounding, he was in a place unlike anything he had seen so far. When he looked at the sky, it was a starry night sky, black and dotted with many stars of every colors that could be imagined. the ground on which he stood was just a reflective surface like a mirror that made it look like he stood on the same starry night sky that was above him. He also noticed that this surface rippled from time to time like water.

The purple dragon began to walk around the strange place looking for anything or anyone that could possibly begin to explain what happened. He suddenly felt a presence behind him "Who's there?!" he demanded as he turned around ready to attack.

"He found himself facing a being unlike anything he had ever seen before, the being stood tall and straight on their two legs, clad in some sort of grayish blue cloak with silver vines like designs and linings, it had a silver ten pointed start on its back. He or she wore a blank white mask, the only things visible were two glowing icy blue eyes that seemed to be peering in the dragon's very soul.

"You might do..." was the only thing he said, the voice was definitely male but had a distinct flanging effect and seemed to echo inside of Malefor's head like some kind of telepathy. He slammed his hand on the ground before Malefor could ask him any other question and the reflective surface rippled violently before opening in a vast and seemingly bottomless abyss.

Malefor tried to fly but couldn't somehow and fell into the darkness of the abyss created by the mysterious being. It closed and the being sighed "And so it begins...the two halves are falling apart...the balance need to be restored...and will, but not without consequences...but it need to be done...this is a risky gamble I took...but I did not had much choice..." the strange being said seemingly to himself.

After what felt like an endless fall, Malefor was suddenly met with water, when he managed to get out of the water he looked around to see he was in some sort of sewer. He felt positively confused and insulted. He had not only been denied what he asked for, but also thrown into a sewer like some kind of common trash.

He began to look around to get a better idea of where he was and noticed a gigantic cage which's doors were kept locked together by what seemed to be a single piece of paper with a strange symbol on it.

"Who are you?" the question came from inside the cage, the voice that asked it was booming and powerful.

Malefor used his magic to create a glowing purple orb to cast light on the inside of the cage, it revealed that the prisoner was a massive nine tailed fox. The purple dragon could definitely tell this creature was powerful and decided to answer since it was maybe his only possibility to get any knowledge of his current situation "My name is Malefor, and you are?"

the fox stared at the dragon, he had never seen this kind of creature before and anyone in the world should be able to identify the Kyuubi no Kitsune. It seemed he was not a summon unlike what he initially thought "My name is Kurama, the Kyuubi. I never seen a creature that look anything remotely close to you in this world. Where do you come from?"

Malefor realized something that never crossed his mind: the possibility of being in another world, There was just noway for any living being of Avalar to not know who he was, he had nearly destroyed the world after all. No there was no other possibility, this world was a new one. He had never been aware of the existence of a creature like Kurama, but a being such as this one could hardly go unseen, especially with this kind of power. "It would seem that I am from another world...sent by a being I have never seen before" he said creating an holographic image of the strange creature he had seen with his magic.

Kurama gazed at the image, he had never seen or heard of this man "Never seen that human before..." he answered.

Malefor rose an eyebrow at that "Human? what are they?" he asked curiously.

"The main intelligent race of this world. The ones who sealed me in this boy, like they sealed me in other persons before. They are intelligent and proficient in jutsus for many tasks, though they are just hypocritical, envious, warmongers. They locked me away in this infant to make me a weapon just like they did with the other Bijuus like me, this is the third time they do it to me" Kurama answered bitterly showing obvious hatred for the humans.

Malefor's face twisted into a look of rage as he understood the implications of what he had been told. He was locked away in child and the humans potentially wanted to use him as a weapon "Does that mean, that the one who pulled me from my world did it to make me a weapon?!" he roared in anger.

The fox shook his head "No I never seen him before in the village and he does not have their emblem anywhere , I don't know why he forced you into this seal. But it is certainly not in the best interest of this village as no one knows what could possibly happen to the seal if an unknown entity was added inside it...No he had another idea in mind to do that sort of thing...though I can feel the seal has been modified... " he replied trying to think why someone would do that sort of thing, he was clearly intrigued.

Malefor sighed and decided to use his magic to connect with the mind of the child hoping to find something that could be of use to him. From what he could gather it did not look like at all as if he was a weapon. He received normal training like any other kids, and seemed to be a normal, bratty hatchling. Then he came across several things that seemed out of place at first, the villagers staring at him with fear, hatred, or both. The villagers whispering behind his back, some calling him a demon for no apparent reason. Then the dark master had a dark smirk as he came across a lecture on the attack of the Kyuubi no Kitsune that ravaged the village and killed many humans. Everything made sense now, no he was not a future weapon, just a prison for the fox and this labeled him as an outcast, he did not fit anywhere because of this particularity of his. An outcast and an orphan, the smile on Malefor's muzzle became even more twisted by second. The being who put him inside this whelp did not even understand what he did. Outcasts are always the easiest beings to corrupt, especially the young ones as being ostracized at such a young age always leave scars on one's mind. And even if the kid acted stupid, and seemed to not really care for those who whispered behind his back. He in fact was deeply hurt by it and only the help of a few peoples that seemed to really care for him seemed to stop him from giving in to hatred or despair.

He would have to be careful if he wanted to convince the kid he could trust him, earning the boy's trust was of essence if he wanted a way out of the seal and more importantly for his plans, a way back to the dragon realm.

As the weeks went by Malefor kept being nothing more than a little voice in the back of Naruto's head, giving him helpful advice and some time even comfort. Slowly but surely over the years, the purple dragon gained the blond's trust who saw him as just an imaginary friend of sort at first, he talked of him to no one as peoples would have thought he was going mad. After all sane peoples did not hear voices in their head, though the blond would admit that his "imaginary friend" helped him quiet a lot, warning him about things the villagers typically wouldn't as they don't care what may happen to the container of the demon that nearly destroyed their village.

When Naruto started the academy Malefor had to repress the urge to bang his head against a wall because of how stupid he was. The kid was clearly not a genius at all, he failed on the easiest things like tests about lessons he barely had a few days ago, even his aim with those throwing knives and metal stars was terrible. And when seeing how far better some other kids fared, the purple dragon thought "Why does fate hate me so much?" Though if he had to be honest most of the skilled ones were from clans so they certainly got training from their parents. Which made Malefor sneer, it was clear they had a lots of perks and that was laughable when you heard all those speeches about the equality of the chances to become shinobis that the Hokage used to encourage the civilians to send their kids to the academy. He was sure that large majority of the kids would not become shinobis and that most would fail or give up because they could not compete.

Of course the purple dragon might have to find a way to train the kid, his pride was wounded enough by the fact he was locked away in such a stupid and loud creature, he was not going to allow him to be weak to top it all. The purple dragon's train of thought was suddenly interrupted by the thoughts of his host.

"Why does all the girls keep watching Sasuke..." Naruto grumbled angrily as he tried to glare holes in the head of the Uchiha heir.

Malefor sighed out of frustration, ever since the Academy had started Naruto had made Sasuke his rival. The boy was the most skilled kid so far, and already in a matter of weeks gathered a fan-club that admired him, the kind of attention Naruto typically yearned for.

"Well I don't know, maybe he is smart, skilled and actually work instead of pulling pranks all day long" the purple dragon answered now exasperated with the blond who simply pouted "On who's side are you?" Naruto replied at his "imaginary friend". Malefor sighed "Sorry, but that's the truth. Though if you actually listened to me a little more you would be able to catch up to this "rival" of yours. I can help with this training of yours. After all genius can only do so much, it is limited compared to what can be achieved through hard-work..." he whispered

Naruto nodded to this, he was sure he could do it. With a lot of effort he could do it. As he left the academy he ignored the stares of the villagers and went to a training ground that was never occupied at this time of the day. Malefor observed the kid as he trained hard. it reminded him that he himself has never been a genius unlike what others may think, at first he had no skill for any element, most dragons thought he was not worth anything until he started to awaken one by one all the known elements and even elements unknown to dragonkind. It was only at this moment that the Elders decided he truly was the purple dragon of the prophecy, herald of the new age. He then sneered at thought, he had nothing in common with that kid, nothing at all. Naruto is stupid and naive, he had never been like this, never been able to trust anyone.

As he watched he started to think of what he could train the kid with, he did not had much knowledge of this world and it did not seem like the boy had magic. Or did he, Malefor had noticed earlier that the seal he was inside partially siphoned his mana and mixed it with Naruto's...what was its name again? chakra? anyway the two energy blended together and started to slowly form something new. The purple dragon would just have to wait for the new energy to be fully formed, if it had magical properties he would be able to teach magic to his container. Patience was of essence there again, his plan would come to fruition in due time and the longer he waited the more he would enjoy his revenge on the little purple pest and his friends.
