Ok, so, I'm back with that Spyro the dragon Story I promised you guys(even if very few people). I know it's been a while, but I think you might like this story! I understand that I'm sort of breaking a rule with this one, but sort of not…
I am going to post multiple chapters, each containing a scene, whether it be a prologue, an action scene, a Climax, or an ending, and each will belong to a different story line. In comments or PM's, you few will tell me which scene interest you the most, and I will write the story line pertaining to that scene. They will all contain most of the same characters, if not all of them.
Some may be confusing, but the point of these is not for you to understand them, it's for you to choose which is more interesting. More or less, you will chose the big, story changing points.
NOTE: It may end up that I ask for your ideas to keep it going, and depending on which you guys choose, I will tell you. Also, please know that some of these ideas will be SOMEWHAT borrowed from other writer's, but will be different. So if you recognize any of the events, it means you have good taste in stories (Because I read them too!)
Or, it might just be coincidence that mine and another author's are similar (I haven't read EVERY Spyro FanFic out there!)
Another thing I've noticed is that in my last one, I made a few mistakes. You see, I haven't played the games in SOOOO long, and even then, I don't think I played them very well. I don't remember much of the rules in the game, such as how only dragons could use Spirit Gems and such, but in my last one, I forgot and made it so Ashley used them once. I've learned this in other stories, and I'm still learning, so if you find mistakes like that again, please tell me.
Just one last reminder, I don't own any of the Spyro Game characters, use common sense to figure out which are mine, and I will also tell you if I happen to use another author's characters.
Other than that, this is all I have to say, oh, well, one more thing; I hope you enjoy!
The misunderstood child.
Elijah Pearson, the only human in the dragon realms, felt alone. The world he thought could only be better than his home, proved him wrong yet again.
"Damn you all! Why are you so against me?!" He screamed. He knew it was a pointless question, as those he was speaking to were to busy trying to kill him.
Even his two favorite video game characters were attacking him.
Spyro shot ice spikes at him, and they rained down on Elijah like machinegun fire, landing at his feet, some nearly hitting him. However, the dragon's tactic was inaccurate, and hardly posed a threat to hitting Elijah. It wasn't taking him much effort to doge the few that might hit him, so he yelled,
"Come on, man! Stop this! I don't want- No, I WON'T fight you! Stop tying to kill me for one Fucking Second, and let's talk!"
He learned to late that the tactic wasn't supposed to kill him….
It was a distraction.
Cynder made her way behind him, and attacked now. Spyro's attack ceased, and gave Elijah a false sense of hole.
"Thank you, now we can ta-" He got no further. Spyro recognized Cynder's attack even before it hit the Hairless ape, as they called him.
Phantom Fright.
Elijah froze the moment her attack hit him, his eyes went wide, his pupils dilated.
"No…" he said shakily. Spyro and Cynder were the only ones who knew the Hairless Ape was hit, as at this point, they were the only ones still brave enough to attack him.
Originally, there had been more than a dozen guards out here, including 4 Fully grown Dragons, but now only these two remained. Neither Spyro or Cynder knew how the Hairless Ape's weapon worked, but however it did, it was effective. All the original guards were down, bleeding from small holes in their fur covered skin and scales alike. The weapon was loud and looked strange, but the Hairless Ape very clearly demonstrated his skill with the weapon. Now, the only remaining guards that showed up with Spyro and Cynder, kept their distance from the fight.
Spyro also noticed a much smaller thing at his hip, but wasn't sure what it did. So, he assumed it was just as bad as the large one he held.
Now, with the guards watching, Spyro and Cynder advanced on the Hairless Ape from both sides. He stood there, Frozen, as he saw his worst dreams before his eyes.
25 feet.
20 feet.
15 feet.
They faltered in their steps when they heard the Hairless Ape say, "No, not again." Cynder was confused.
'again'? That would mean…. He's already lived through his worst nightmares?
She felt a very small amount of guilt now, but then advanced again, pushing it aside. Elijah kept mumbling to himself, each time his voice grew with a note of something Cynder couldn't quite identify, "Not again… not again…. Not again… not again.. not again, not again, not again not again not again not again! Not again!" Then, just as the two dragons came within 5 feet, he roared, "NEVER AGAIN!"
Now Cynder could identify that note in his voice; it was THE mixture, the most potent mixture of feelings, the one that brewed devastation, that reaped death, that drive one to the edge. A mixture of Anger, Desperation, Sadness, And Pain. However, it wasn't alone these four feelings that made it this way, it was the absence of another…
Fear.
It didn't make sense to her! Her power should have infused him with fear. And yet here he was… it bothered Cynder even more than the realization that came with her understanding of fear.
Fear, was the only feeling that could restrain a living creature from crossing a line because of Anger.
Fear was the only thing that could keep Pain from overwhelming an individual.
Fear was the only thing that could keep Desperation from acting out.
Fear was the only thing that kept Sadness from breaking down mental barriers that shouldn't be broken.
Cynder could sense no fear in his words.
Without the fear, Desperation fueled Sadness… Sadness fueled Pain… And Pain fueled anger. And Cynder knew all of this.
Elijah shot away from them, going from standing to full on sprinting to the right. Towards the city. Cynder looked at Spyro with a terrified look in her eyes. Spyro now looked concerned for his mate, and walked over to talk to her.
"What's wrong?" He asked, but she shook her head, and yelled, "I Don't understand! That should have rendered him petrified with fear!"
"He looked pretty scared to me."
"No! You don't understand!" she said, then growled and shot After Elijah.
"We can't let him get into the city. If he does, it could be catastrophic!" She yelled over her shoulder, using her power of wind to make sure her voice reached Spyro. She didn't need to see Spyro to know he was confused, and she yelled a short explanation, "My Phantom Fright didn't do what it was supposed to do, and he's incredibly dangerous right now!"
She took off, and flew past the him propelling herself with the wind aiding her. She flew past the Hairless Ape, and put some distance between them before stopping and watching him.
He randomly rolled from time to time, dodging obstacles visible only to his eyes. It seemed very violent, and Cynder wondered what it was he saw. Spyro was a little slow, but still made it to her long before the Hairless Ape did.
"What do you want me to do?" He asked, and she looked at him funny, because normally Spyro took the lead in these situations.
"This is your place of expertise, your power is fear, not mine." He replied to her look. She nodded, and thought a moment, before replying, "Do everything you can to draw him away from the city. We have to keep him occupied until the Phantom Fright wears off, and he comes back to his senses." She hesitated before adding, "Spyro, we may have made a mistake this time."
"Why do you say that?" He questioned.
"I don't know… there have been a number of things, but nothing deciding yet."
"Well, unless you find something deciding, I think our goal should still be to kill him." He said, not having listened at all to her suggestion. Spyro didn't notice it, but Cynder looked at him with disbelief of how ignorant he was being.
Spyro began firing ice spikes, fireballs, and earth shots, cycling between the different powers. Cynder stayed back and waited, unsure of if she should follow suit.
Cynder could now recall that the Hairless Ape had called itself a… Hoo-man? She wasn't sure if that was pronounced right, but she watched the Hoo-man dodge the projectiles, easily. He came closer and closer until Spyro stopped, and charged at the Hoo-man, who's eyes were filled with rage.
"Die you ape scum!" He yelled, making Cynder flinch at how harsh it was. Spyro engaged in close combat with him, and at first, it seemed neither would get the upper hand. Then, the Hoo-man began to gain the upper hand, just as it seemed he would begin to loose. The hoo-man had dropped his original weapon during his attempts to dodge Spyro's attacks, and now held a knife.
The Hoo-man was bleeding from many cuts and stabs all across his body, but they didn't slow him in the slightest.
Everyone Spyro tried to swipe him with his claws, the Hoo-man would stab his paw or arm and force him to back up. Everytime this happened, the Hoo-man advanced. He was more agile than the dragon, he dodged tail strikes, wings, claws, and the few element attacks Spyro could fit into the mix.
Then, Spyro began using his superior weight and size against the Hoo-man. Spyro tackled the Hoo-man and used his weight to pin him beneath.
"Get – Off- Me!" He wheezed, hopelessly trying to push the dragon off.
"Its over, Ape." He said, and leaned his head down- and stopped. He stopped because the Hoo-man started laughing.
He actually began laughing, just as Spyro was leaning down to bite it's head off.
"What's so funny?" Spyro asked, annoyed at this mockery.
"You dragons.. have a real… problem… with assuming… I'm done for…" He said, breathing difficult with the weight on his chest. Both dragons cocked their heads sideways, confused.
"How does this not spell the end for you ape?" Spyro asked, more curious than annoyed now.
"For the last time, I'm a Human, NOT one of those damned apes! And again, I just want to talk, but if you keep attacking, don't think I won't keep fighting! I will always keep fighting, because that's what my race does. We fight like hell our entire lives, but we fight hardest when we're close to the end."
Cynder couldn't hear even a trace of deception or anger in his words. Apparently neither did Spyro, because he cautiously stood, and backed away from the Human a little.
He did, however, still look ready to end the Human.
"Why haven't we heard of these, Hoo-mans before?"
"Its not Hoo-man, it's Human. And the reason for that, I don't know for sure, but I am almost certain that I am on a different world, with no way to go back." He said, and Cynder could hear something in those past 6 words. It was a little bit of happiness.
"You don't want to go back, do you?" She asked, after peicing together the meaning of the trace of happiness in those words. The Human looked shocked, and he hesitated a moment. Then, he sighed, and dropped his eyes.
"No, I don't."
"Why? Why wouldn't you want to go back home?" Cynder asked, pushing past Spyro, ignoring his attempts to keep her from approaching the Human.
"Because I have no family there, no friends, no pets…" He paused a moment, then added quietly, "No home."
Of course he had a house, He owned a small appartment, but a house isn't what he meant by home. Somehow, Cynder knew this. He would never understand just how this Dragoness understood emotions so well.
She turned to Spyro with a sad look. "Now I have my deciding proof."
Spyro sighed, and said quietly, "Ok, I agree. But what about what he's done?"
Elijah's head snapped up at those words, and he opened his mouth to speak-
BAM!
A boulder hit him square in the face, breaking his nose and a few teeth. His body flew from the impact, and landed before sliding an additional 5 feet. He wad in his feet immediately, and just in time to avoid a massive Ice Spike that would have put a hold in him so big, one could have seem through it.
He watched the spike hit the ground where he was just standing, and looked up to find the source. He looked at Spyro, who looked just as confused as Elijah felt. If it wasn't Spyro, then who?!
He scanned the Skies.
Then he saw it. A group of three dragons flying towards him. They looked powerful, even from here.
Elijah didn't know if yet, but the Guardians had arrived.
And they weren't happy.
Well how's that for a sneak peak!
Just don't begin asking yet, there will be ATLEAST one more, if not two or three. I know there are atleast a few of you who will read this story, so please vote once I get them out!
