Chapter Fifteen: A old comrade Ruturns

The group of captures had made it to the bottom of the stairs, but the Apes already knew of their plans.

"Stop them!" cried the one that seemed to be in charged. "Don't kill the black hair human, but kill everyone else!"

"They just don't quit!" Brandon held his two daggers to his side as a wave of arrows flew down from above. "Fire breathers; get our point and flank and burn those arrows! Ice users, make sure to make a shield to any they miss just in case; earth dragons shoot back your own attacks toward those archers!" everyone listened to what the half breed spoke of, getting into place the fire dragons blew a wave of fire to where they saw the arrows come to, the ice dragon made a wall of ice as some of the arrows broke though; once this was done, the earth dragons shot their heads up and shoot earth missiles toward them; killing many in the cross fire. Nathan watched from behind Brandon, only a small sword in hand as he shook a bit.

"How can you be this clam Brandon?" he almost screamed as the Halfa shot his own fire attacks toward the arrows. "It's like you've been doing this for a while!" Brandon gave a laugh and nodded.

"In a way, I have. Anyway you're the brains of this fight; any ideas?" Nathan looked around trying to find the best way to get rid of many Apes in one move. He saw a loose rope above the heads of those Apes from the top of the stairs and smirked.

"There!" he cried pointing s Brandon looked up. "Shoot that thing down and watch what happens!" Brandon nodded and channelled his fire on that one spot then shot it, it whizzed past two Apes as they laughed.

"You missed!" one of them cried laughing.

"Did I?" asked Brandon smiling as a tear was heard. The two looked back to see the rope snap, sending boulders from above crashing them; and many others making the sea of arrows stop. "Now, storm this place!" cried Brandon holding his dagger in the air. "We are going to reclaim this temple in the name of the Guardians that kept us safe for all these years, we're going to kick Malefor out of this place and make him fear us!" the others cheered as they followed Brandon orders and started to run up the stairs, but once they reach the top, a explosion greeted them casing many to hit the nearby wall groaning in pain. Nathan was one of these bodies that hit the wall as Brandon and a few other dragons and moles looked to where the attack came from; which made them take a step back. "Impossible," muttered Brandon as the very thing that attacked them landed on the ground before them.

The floor where the stairs started crumbled; and fell inward as a hole was seen. Terrador was the first to fly out and land by the hole, Saira was next as Spyro, Cynder, Flame and Ember soon flew out as well.

"Brandon!" Saira ran into the cells only to see that it was empty. "He's not here?" she asked with a questionable look. "Where the hell is he?" a scream was heard from above as everyone looked up to see a bright red dragoness fall from the floor above them. Terrador was able to catch the young dragon and laid her to the ground as Ember ran up.

"I'll heal her!" she said as he brought a paw over her wound around her chest as a light glow was seen, sealing the wound; but she still had many more.

"It...was...horrible." She answered in a almost whisper.

"What was?" asked Spyro leaning closer to hear, as well as everyone else.

"I never seen...anything like it before!" her eyes darted to the faces before her. "His body held the flesh of a dragon, but also metal and wire were seen within his body, his right eye a deep red as the metal was seen there. His arm turned into a hole and blasted a blue fire at us...Brandon...he..." she groaned as Saira started to fly up but Flame stopped her.

"Where are you going?" he asked in a stern voice. "Didn't you just listen to what she just said?" Saira swiped his paw away from her tail as she growled.

"I don't care!" she screamed. "My mate is up there and I will not lose him again!"

"We have to think this though!" their was a edge of command in his voice. "Do you think that Brandon wants you to go up there, only to have yourself hurt of worse?" Saira looked away. "Think about it, I heard when Brandon became enrage when Spyro talked about his mother in a bad way, he lost it; imagine what he would be like if you were killed!" Terrador made his way toward them and nodded.

"Spoken like a Guardian Flame and he is right Saira, we have to think this though."

"I think I can be useful." Heads turned toward the cell room as a dragon about the size of Terrador made his way out. Just like Cynder his scales were red and black, in fact he looked to be the male version of Cynder in every way. While Cynder had a slim body, he had the body of a male, showing that indeed he was male.

"Steele!" the young dragons looked toward Terrador as his eye grew wide. "Is that you?" The dragon nodded moving closer.

"Yes master Terrador," he answered. "It has been a while hasn't it?" the earth dragon nodded.

"Indeed it has, why are you here?" Steele closed his eyes and reopened them.

"I planed on breaking the captures here and make sure they return to Warfang, but I couldn't just pop in saying, 'I'm here to save you' now could I? When I was about to strike I saw this human as they call themselves talk with Malefor. It seemed this human and Malefor made a deal about how they would bring back someone from the dead; only if he gave Malefor what he wanted." Everyone looked toward him with a questionable look. "And he already gave him what he wanted, part of it I should saw; the very thing that human Brandon is fighting even as we speak.

Brandon was fling to the wall away from the others as the thing before him laughed.

"Get up Brandon and show me this power you have!" Brandon groaned as he opened his eyes to see Trake, but not at the same time. Part of his body was ripped open to show robotic body parts. Both of his arms were gone only to have arms made of metal in their place which whirled as he laughed. Half of his dragon face was gone to show a robotic version as the red eye the dragoness spoke of turned to look at Brandon. "Because I don't care now, I will kill you!" Brandon felt a robot foot on his head as he screamed in pain, Nathan started to awake from his knock out and saw what was happening. He didn't know what to do so he did the first thing that came to mind. Picking up a sword he ran toward Trake, jumping a bit and bringing the blade down cutting off Trake right arm. Trake didn't scream or move until he turned back to Nathan who walked backwards, his arms shaking as Take got off of Brandon and began to stoke the brown hair human. He picked up his arm as metal and wire connoted to his body as Nathan watched.

"That would be so cool," he said. "If it wasn't the last thing I was going to see!" Trake laughed as he moved closer, but was shot back by a dark fire causing him to ram into the wall, falling outside. Nathan looked over to see Steele and the rest of the dragons fly up from the stairs looking at Nathan. Nathan took a step back seeing the large dragons as Brandon groaned.

"Don't worry..." he gasped. "They're friends..."

"Brandon!" Saira ran over as the human/dragon stood up as Saira jumped on his chest causing him to cry out in pain as the dragoness kissed, nuzzled, and hugged him as he hugged back.

"Told you I would be fine..." this only caused the dragoness to cry harder as Terrador went over to Nathan who shirked back from the dragon gaze.

"Is this the human you spoke of Steele?" Steele looked over and shook his head.

"No, that's not him..." Brandon was able to push Saira off as he stood up.

"Another human; what did he want?" Steele told him what he knew as Brandon thought. "What could he want so badly..." Steele shrugged his shoulders as Trake roared as he jumped back into the hole he was thrown from as Steele took a battle stance.

"I'll take care of this freak!" he cried. "You get everyone else out!" Brandon as going to say something like this was his battle; but he was too weak to even walk much less fight. Terrador picked both Brandon and Nathan and brought them to his back as the others began to pick up everyone that couldn't walk. Already Trake and Steele were in a tight battle. Take arm like the dragoness said turned into cannon sand started to fire only to have Steele disappear and reappear. "Go now!" Terrador gave a look toward his comrade and nodded taking the two humans he had and flying down toward the hole as the others were close behind; only hearing the sound of wall breaking and Trake robot like roar.
