The Legend of Spyro: The return of Darkness and Thunder

Chapter 4

Spyro groaned as he woke up feeling like he'd been put through the ringer. He was sore everywhere and he felt weaker than he'd ever felt before. He looked around seeing that he was in the med bay. He got up and began leaving only for the medical dragons to block his way. "Where do you think you are going?" Asked the head nurse. "I'm going to beat the crap out of the dragon who did this to me and get my powers back." Said Spyro. "No you aren't, you are staying here to recover." Said the ice nurse. "No, as your King I order you all to stand aside!" He roared in a commanding tone. Unfortunately as he was king they had no choice and moved. "Fine but you are taking the guardians with you." Said the fire dragon doctor in a way that made him aware he had absolutely no choice. Spyro groaned and nodded his head in annoyance as he went to go ask the guardians for their assistance only to get yanked by the tail as Cynder found him first. "What were you thinking you idiot, taking on a power draining dragon by yourself, you could've died!!" Yelled Cynder clearly as she'd been worry crying in their room from her eyes.

Spyro sighed and told her the plan was to just take a simple night flight. "I have no idea where that Zafira lady came from but I know she drained a great deal of my elemental powers, did the nurses say if there's a way to restore it?" Asked Spyro. "Yes but you aren't doing it as it means you must destroy an egg of each element and absorb the energy of the baby dragon you kill." Said Cynder. "I see, guess I'll just have to get them back the old fashion way, by destroying whatever she used to drain me." Said Spyro as he suddenly felt drained once again as his teenage level powers went all the way to rookie guardian level. Spyro felt this and passed out. He still had his time magic and could feel maybe small sparks of his other four elements inside of him but they were dim. "You are in danger we need to investigate now." Said Cynder as she was prepared to destroy whoever she had to to save her mates powers and life from certain destruction. To that end she sent word for all of the guardians to get there immediately. It took a while but eventually Volteer, Terrador, Cyril, Ember, Shade, Shriek, Rafflesia, and Toronado all arrived at the castle and looked at their King and Queen. "We are here, what seems to be the problem?" Asked Ember. "Please I know you've all heard that Spyro has been getting slowly drained of his powers." Said Cynder as nothing happened anywhere without one or two of them finding out and gossiping. Ember sighed and nodded as it was true.

They all nodded and after an hour or two of planning they all were on their way heading to Malefor's castle or what was left of it. "So remind me of the plan." Said Rafflesia. "This female is obviously Malefor's daughter based on her appearance and powers but I have a feeling she has dark magic just like him as well meaning she could revive her fathers dumb army of monkeys as zombies or some crap, you all will deal with them while I regain my powers." Said Spyro as he knew it depended on him breaking that dragon skull. "Hell no, you aren't doing any of that on your own!" Snarled Cynder. "I'm doing it with you." She said angrily as she growled showing it was not his choice. "Fine, we'll regain my powers." Said Spyro as they all saw the castle coming into view. "You guys ready?" Asked everyone as they saw no signs of an army which was good meaning they were unnoticed and unexpected or so they thought as Zafira was watching them approach from one of the only remaining towers. "Hehe, this looks like fun, Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust." She said smirking evilly.
