LOSC: The New Guardians part 8

As the sun rose in the east and so did two brite yellow dragons as the sun light shined into their cave both sreatching like cats yawning, the older dragon looked exactly like Volteer but with grey eyes and was female her name was Volteara, the younger dragon was at least twenty years old, but he was brite yellow with crimson stripes and he looked like Volteer mixed with Ignitus' looks but had Volteer's tail blade his name was Asher, "hey mom how much longer till we get to Warfang," asked Asher as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes, "not much longer son if we hurry we may make it around sun down," stated Volteara, nodding Asher looks to the east, "finally we we can go home mom," he said excitedly and Volteara smiles at her son, "I can wait to see uncle Volteer again" he stated happy look suddenly turns sour, "I wish only dad was still alive and my little brother Spyro, I would have loved to meet him," Asher said sadly tears failing down his face, Volteara walks over to her son and nuzzles him trying to comfort her son while she shedded tears too. After a few minutes they take to the air flying quickly so they can make it to Warfang before night fall. As the sun sets in the west they rested in a forest west of Warfang, "we're almost there mom I can see the walls from here" Asher said happily smiling, "just let me get my breath son I'm not as young as I used to be" Volteara stated with a smile at her son's eagerness to get to his home when a twig snapped behind them spinning to face the noise in a battle stance Asher scanned the folaige for any enemies when several apes and grublins jump out throwing a net over Volteara while grublins and apes pinned Asher to the ground, trying to push them off Asher started to raise his body heat to fry them off him but a blue paw smashed his head into the dirt dazing him, "well well looks like the eldest son of the great fire guardian Ignitus is nothing but smoke and mirrors" said a taunting voice, Asher looks up to see a dark blue dragon with a yellow underside and horns, the horns jut out normaly but in the middle straiten tips pointing along his body, he had a yellow tattoo of a lighting bolt on his left fore leg shoulder and he has three yellow stripes on his back, his tail blade was the same as Teza's and Tezla's tail blades, he has yellow spinal ridges similar to Spyro's but on top of his head was a yellow and blue creast, his eyes were the same brite yellow on his body, his name is Caecus a sixteen year old dragon. "Who are you?" Asher demanded this time getting a shock from Caecus paralyzing him, "my my you've got a lot spunck, your in no possition to demand anything but I will tell you who I am," taunted Ceacus with a self satisfiyed smirk, "my name is Ceacus second in command of the Dark Army under General Myth and his mate Umbra and they have ordered me to bring you in alive but the older one on the other hand is disposable" he said walking over to Volteara raising his tail blade above her chest and stabbed down into her and slashed to the right cutting her open, "leave her we got what we came for," ordered Caecus as the apes brought out shackles to imopalize Asher, "you are going TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY MOTHER YOU BASTARD!" yelled Asher as flames started billow from his maw and spread to his limbs burning his captors when he unleashed his fury making a mushroom cloud scorching the area for ten miles around him.

In Warfang Spyro was walking with Cynder along the western wall enjoying their alone time, Spyro nuzzles Cynder lovingly as Cynder returned it, "aww look at the two love birds," said a large Crimson dragon smiling at them as they nuzzled disspite his presence, "hey dad out for a sunset walk again?" greeted Spyro smiling, chuckling Ignitus just smiles and looks to the west at the setting sun and looks back to the young couple getting a somber look on his face Ignitus walks up to Spyro and nonchalantly picks him up as Spyro protests when he is placed on Ignitus' back, "I'm going to barrow my son for awhile Cynder meet us back at the House later if you don't mind," he said while Spyro gives and exasperated sigh making Cynder giggle at him, "sure papa I'll see you guys back at the house" she said with a seductive look directed at Spyro and a teasing walk making Spyro sigh again as his father walks farther down the wall out of ear shot, picking Spyro up by his tail Ignitus set him back down and looks at him with a serious look, "Spyro I love you and Cynder very much and I approve of your union, but I want to know one thing son are willing to do what is nessary to be a guardian while mated to her when she may very well be one as well," asked Ignitus in a worried tone, "I don't know what you mean dad," Spyro said confused at what his father was asking, "I mean if need be will you be able to side against her at certain points and-" Ignitus started to say but Spyro raised a paw to stop him, "dad me and Cynder both disscused this issue earlier and understand what may come of it and we're willing to make those sacrifises for the good of our race dad," stated Spyro making Ignitus sigh with relief allowing a smile to blossem on his face putting a paw on top of Spyro's head he patted his son lovingly, "just make sure you take care of her Spyro" he stated making Spyro grin underneath the paw, "sure dad that I can do," replied Spyro as Ignitus lifted the paw when an explosion went off to the west making both of them jump and look west, they both gasp at the sight of the mushroom cloud when Ignitus leaps to the air, "come on Spyro we're going to check out that explosion" he called behind him as Spyro not needing to be told follows his father to investigate the explosion.

Back at the site of the explosion Asher gets up slowly from exuastion from the fury he unleashed only to be blasted with a bolt of electricity sending him into a boulder breaking his left wing, "uggh that burns you asshole" stated Caecus walking up to asher with the left side of his face and parts of his body and wings burned in between second and third degress, "I was ordered to bring you in alive but if you were to resist then I'm ordered to kill you such a shame all that effort and your mother will still bleed to death along with you," he taunted with and evil grin as Caecus raised his tail blade and repeats the same wound on Volteara, Asher screams in pain as Caecus staps him and slashes to the right opening Asher up, "good bye son of Ignitus make sure you give him my regards" stated Caecus laughing cruelly as he left the two of them for dead leaving the scorched corpses of his suppordenants, after Caecus left Asher forced himself to his feet and walked over to his mother who was still alive her wound burned closed by Asher but before he could reach her he fell on top of his wound making him roar in pain this time, he looks to his mother tears in his eyes as his eye site slowly blacking, "I'm sorry mom I wasn't strong enough I'm sorry" he thought closing his eyes accepting his fate when a loud boom of a dragon landing nearby made him raise his head to see a fiery orange dragon five years younger than he was then he looked at the adult and saw his father but just then he passed out from blood loss.

A day later in Warfang's Hospital Ignitus watches Asher sleep with a solem face, "hello master Ignitus checking on your rescues today" asked Ember with a knowing motherly smile. Chuckling Ignitus looks to her with a smile, "yes I am Ember how are they" he asked, Ember then walks up to the window watching Asher, "the older one is still in extensive care due to her wound and internal bleeding she should be out of exstinsive care after she gets some healing crystals used on her, the younger one should be good to go as soon as he wakes up," she informs him but then she gives him a distrustful look that makes Ignitus grin sheepishly, "the other guardians need to see him so they could get some information from him, and I can't seem to shake the feeling that I know this dragon he looks so much like my son Asher," he said thoughful at the end, "who will take him to see them I doubt you have any time since your in the final preperations for Spyro's and Cynder's mating day" she stated with a curious look as she watched Asher sleep, "I asked Spyro to do that for me he's probably asleep in the looby him and Cynder have staying up later than usual doing ancestors know what" Ignitus said with a grin making Ember smile knowingly, "I'll make sure he gets to the counsel just be sure you make your child's big day the most memorable master" she said as she left, Ignitus watched her leave with a smile turning to watch Asher sleep. After a little bit Ignitus left heading for the looby, as he entered it he imedeatly spotted Spyro curled up on one of the couches going to his son Ignitus placed a paw on Spyro's sleeping figure with smile before he left Spyro placed a fatherly kiss on his sons brow making him stir in his sleep but did not wake as Ignitus left to finish the wedding plans for Spyro and Cynder.

Several hours later Asher began to wake as he opened his eyes he felt he was on a bed but only saw a wall, "where am I?" he thought to himself, "I remember passing out after halucinating that dad just found me after the ambush" he continued in his head, then his eyes shot wide with fear, "the ambush! mother! we must have been captured" he shouted in thought jumping to his feet and leaping from his bed as he heard the door open. Ember walked into Asher's room to check on him when suddenly she was knocked to the ground yelping from surprise she felt a paw force it's self on the side of her neck to hold her there, "where am I?" demanded a voice making Ember look up to see the dragon she was checking on awake and paniky from the change of enviorement, "your in Warfang and among friends please calm down" said Ember a little worried, "I don't beleive you because a dragon attacked me and you could work for him," he stated coldly but before Ember could say anything an orange blur tackled her asailent Asher. Asher was now in panic mode trying to get loose from this young dragons hold but it was vice like he couldn't get away eyes bugging out out of sheer terror as he flashed back to when Caecus attacked him. "calm down your in Warfang friend calm yourself the guardians wish to speak with you" said the orange dragon on top of him, Asher hears this and calms down slightly then his eyes shot wide again, "my mother where is she? she's the older dragon that was with me" he asked paniced and starts to struggle again, then Ember spoke up, "she's fine her wounds are healed but she's still unconscious" at these words Asher calms down and relaxes and Spyro slowly climbs off him but still warey of him, getting to his feet Asher looks to the orange dragon next to see the young dragon looked at lot like his father Ignitus making want to ask but he deceided to ask when they were alone, "are u all right Ember?" asked Spyro concerned for his friend, "I'm fine Spyro thanks for asking, but how did you know I was in trouble?" she asked a little curious making Spyro grin his goofy grin, "oh I woke up to use the can and saw you pinned by him" he stated glaring at Asher, "well if don't mind sir since your awake I will tell you that you can leave but your mother must stay here untill she wakes up," informed Ember, nodding that he understood Asher turns to Spyro, "you said that the guardians needed to speak with me," he asked while Spyro nodded yes, "what for if you don't mind me asking" questioned Asher getting suspisous of the young fire dragon, "my father just told me to bring you to the temple to be questioned by them that's all" explain Spyro in an exaperated tone, squinting his eyes in anger at Spyro he finaly asked, "and who is your father if you don't mind answering?" making Spyro go on edge pulling his lips back in a snarl at his tone, "his name is Ignitus fire guardian of Warfang and I'm his son Spyro and fire guardian candidate," Spyro replied with a snarl, making Asher recoil in shock eyes wide looking to the ground thoughts racing, 'how is that possible dad died in the ring of fire helping Spyro and Cynder and yet he's here in Warfang but how?' he asked himself unbeleiving "hey we need to get to the guardians now so I could get a nap in" stated Spyro yawning making Ember chuckle at him, "Cynder keeping you up again with those late night shinanigans of hers?" She asked smiling at him knowingly making Spyro grin and blush while he scratched the back of his head guiltily, "yeah she can be pretty persuasive Ember and I just can't resist making her happy" he said making Ember shake her head, "just make sure she doesn't break you when both of you really decide to mate" she warned with an evil smirk as she walked off to complete her rounds, Asher walks up to Spyro with wide eyes and looks to him worryedly, "I did not like that look she gave you man" he stated, "same here dude" said Spyro as he turn towards the exit stopping to look back at Asher, "you coming it's best not to keep the guardians waiting" said Spyro in a gentle tone getting Asher to follow him as they left the hospital another dragon entered with a black cloak over her black scaled face she walked up to the receptionist, "have you a unnamed dragon here he's black with glowing red markings on him and he's apout ten years old?" she asked the recptionist perked up and look at her oddly, "are you his guardian or one of his family" she asked with a challenging tone. The cloaked dragon leaned in closer to the unfortunate mole placing a paw on the counter dropping a bag onto whispering, "I'm his sister please keep this quiet if you don't want an trouble?" asked the dragoness threateningly as the mole stared wide eyed at her sapphire blue eyes which held a threatening glare. The mole quickly look away as she opened the bag to see a large amount of gold coins in there putting the bag in her money pouch she look bag at the hooded dragon like nothing happened, "third floor room 666." She told the dragon, bowing her head in thanks she made her way upstairs heading for the room, once she got there she looked around to make sure no one was watching her as she entered the room and locked it on the inside, she made her way over to the red and black dragon she described to the mole in the lobbey silently she stalked over to him with a collar in her paw but as she reared up to place it on him he awoke, still a bit groggey he looks around to come face to face with the dragoness with the collar and looked into her eyes with recgnition eyes widening in terror she tried to clasp the collar but, "it's you get away someone help it's UMBRA" he yell unleashing a fear roar that blew out the whole wing of the hospital.

Meanwhile in Warfang's central plaza Spyro and Asher were heading for the temple after flying to the nearest resturaunt to get some breakast, "so if you don't mind who are you?" Spyro asked polightly wondring who Asher was, "my name is Asher and my mother is named Volteara," he said as Spyro nodded curiousity saited for now but Asher had other things in mind, "would you mind telling me who your father was and your name again because I'm not sure I heard you right?" He asked watching Spyro closely, sighing Spyro looked Asher in the eye, "like i said before my name is Spyro fire guardian candidate and son to the current fire guardian Ignitus" he said repeating himself only to jump back in surprise as Asher whooped in joy releasing a flame torrent in the sky before grabbing Spyro on the shoulders with his fore paws grinning from ear to ear, "Spyro, Ignitus is my father to your my brother my baby brother," he announced to Spyro shedding tears of joy as the information sank in and realization dawned in his mind as Spyro embraced his brother shedding tears of joy. Several minutes later both of them were heading to the temple again both of them talking exitedly to each other catching up and strengthing their bond, "Terrador and Volteer are going to have a heartattack when they hear this" Spyro said happily making Asher look at him weirdly, "shouldn't it be uncle Volteer Spyro?" he asked Spyro making the fire dragon look at Asher oddly, "what do you mean uncle Volteer?" Asked Spyro curiously and a little scared while Asher looks to the ground ashamed, "Spyro, our mother Volteara, is uncle Volteer's sister making him your uncle to brother" he said sadly because he just revealed his uncle's secret to his brother, "you mean Volteer has been my uncle without my knowlege and dad knew this to" Spyro said shakely Asher just nods yes to him as Spyro's anger rises to the boiling point and explodes, "WHY DO THEY NEVER TELL ME ANYTHING AFTER WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH FOR THEIR UNGRATFUL HIDES RAAAAAAAAAH!!!" He yelled slaming a fire wrapped tail into the ground causing it to explode on impacting the ground, storming off towards the temple.

When they reach the counsel chamber the door opens to reveal Volteer, Terrador, Cyril, and Lord Arrow along with their proteges, Spyro without even anoucing Asher's name stormed over to where he would sit with his father and Flame and laied down on his cushion with his back turned to everyone even Cynder, knowing something was bothering him she tried to go over to him but was stopped by Cyril, as all this happened Terrador looks at Asher noticing certain similarities between both Volteer and Ignitus showing on him, with a sigh and a glance at Spyro he looked at Asher and rose to his full height, "young dragon please tell us your name who your parents are and what happened in the forest a couple of days ago" Terrador polightly ordered, "my name is Asher son of fire guardian Ignitus and Volteara sister to Volteer" he replied making the proteges gasp execpt Slipstream and Nightstream, Slipstream looks to Nightstream pointing to Asher, "did I just hear that right bro or am I losing it?" he asked his older brother making Nightstream smile, "yes you did brother yes you did" Nightstream replied, when Terrador recovered from the shock finding out that Ignitus' eldest son was alive he turned to Volteer and asked, "does Ignitus know if Asher is alive or not," and Volteer shook his head know when a fire ball expolded in his face and everyone turned to see a very pissed off Spyro staring at Volteer with murderess intent Teza and Tezla stood in front of Volteer protectivly as Spyro approched, "WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME YOU WERE MY UNCLE VOLTEER HUH? I UNDERSTAND DAD'S REASON FOR NOT TELLING ME BUT WHAT'S YOUR'S HUH? YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE" he yelled at the eletricity guardian approching him with an intent to kill only to be stopped by Teza and Tezla, "get out of my way now" Spyro demanded angerily fangs bared at them, "no we're not going to move with until you calm down," said Tezla making Spyro snarl at him as Spyro leaned closer to whisper to them, "then I'll make you" and with that Spyro struck Tezla with a flame wrapped paw making an explosion on impacting Tezla's face sending him into a piller, Teza using her element and increased her speed to strike Spyro from the side to stun him but she was met with a flame wrapped tail exploding as it hit her chest she went flying into the wall knocking her out, "okay Spyro that's it you struck my sister now YOU PAY!" he stated shouting the last part as electricity crackled all over his body charging energy as flames covered Spyro's body when Tezla using the energy he charged to send a flury of lightingbolts flying at Spyro as Spyro unleased a giant wave of fire both elements meeting in the middle with explosive force. Both of them unwilling to give in as their elements fought for surpremecy dancing back and forth as they tried to overpower each other until Tezla started to tire and Spyro took advantge of it and increased the flames with a roar of anger making Tezla flinch as he struggled to keep the flames a bay but he was getting weaker as Spyro increased the flames again with another roar, face clinched in pain Tezla started to panic as the flames got closer and closer then with a final push from Spyro Tezla fired off a furry blasting the flames back but not stopping them, roaring in anger Spyro blasted more flames as they flew towards Tezla who was lieing on the ground exuasted from his elemental use thinking he was done for until Cynder leapped infront of his body shimmering with cold steam, she unleashed a wave of ice from her maw smashing it into Spyro's flames overpowering them and extinguishing them as Spyro sat there wide eyed panting and shaking from what he just did but before Cynder could run over and comfort him Volteer picked up the tired Spyro lifting him to eye level, "thats quiet enough from you nephew I'm sorry that I never told you about being your uncle but you have to understand I was afraid you wouldn't accept me so I hid it once I found out you were Ignitus' son" He said tears brimming in his eyes as Spyro stared at him still pissed of but slowly softening as Volteer coninued, "Spyro please accept an old dragon's appology for this, I love you but please understand I was scared please don't be mad at me it hurts to see you angery at me" Volteer said through tears empracing Spyro as Spyro empraced his uncle shedding tears aswell, "your right Uncle I'm sorry I'm so sorry" he said tightening his emprace "shush now nephew no need to appologise your anger was justified now go over to your mate-to-be she's worried," said Volteer as he put Spyro back on the ground, walking over to Cynder with his head down passing her and went to his cushion, as he layed down Cynder joined him lieing next to him nuzzling him as he returned it shedding tears, "boy, do they have issues? I think they need a family counseler," *smack* stopping mid-sentence Slipstream glared at his brother in anger, "what the hell was that for?" he asked angerily only to get hit again, "shut up Slipstream or I'm goint to sick Tsunami on you," warned Nightstream but before Slipstream could retaliate Arrow grabs both of their heads and slams them together, "both of you knock it off or I'm going to make both of you spar with me after the wedding" he ordered shutting the brothers up while Eartha and Stone were trying not to laugh and failed as they snickered from the repressed laughter, "please Asher continue with your report" stated Terrador ignoring his pupil's snickers, "well me and my mother were heading to Warfang to live with Uncle Volteer and pay respects to father's grave but when we landed in the western forest we were ambushed by apes and grublins and a dragon," he reported making the guardians gasp, "I say who was this dragon and who did he work for?" Asked Cyril, "his name was Caecus and he said he was second in command of the Dark Army under a General Myth" replied Asher solemly making Arrow growl in anger, "so he lives after all" he stated making the other guardians stare at him like he was the devil, "I'll explain after the others leave they don't need to hear this," he informed the guardians and they nod in acceptance, "thank you Asher now how do we approach Ignitus about his son being here," asked Terrador then Spyro perked up with a sly grin, "I can help with that but all of you must stay quiet about this or my plan won't work same with you Asher" stated Spyro when everyone gave him their word he explained his plan to the whole group making all of them smile mischeviously.

Later that evening a young black dragon with glowing red markings ran through the desserted slums of Warfang hoping to lose the dragoness that almost cornered him in the hospital but he was getting tired and she knew it, the dragoness he identified as Umbra turned down the same street he turned on, "I know your tiring just stop and accept that I've finnally caught you after five years Axel" she called smiling evilily under ther hooded cloak, the young dragon called Axel heard her a ran faster but tripped and falls to ground hard but gets up limbs off at a fast past looking behind him as he limbs into and snow white dragon, "whats your hurry little one?" he asked but Axel hides under him for an answer as Umbra walks into site "excuse me kind sir that little dragon is under my care so if you please hand him over I'll be out of your scales" she asked polightly, looking at the young dragon the white dragon shook his head, "no I don't think so miss but he's not going anywhere until you give me proof that he's under your care," he stated challenging her, growling Umbra looks at the white dragon with a snarl he couldn't see, "but he's my brother I would like to take him home," she stated, "LIAR" shouted Axel, and the white dragon smirks, "well looks like he doesn't belevie you," he stated taking a battle stance tail above his head, but Umbra notices something strange about his tail it had no tail blade it was just a normal tail, "your going to regret that choice dragon" Umbra threaten revealing her anger, she then charged the white dragon who did the same colliding they started to claw, bite, and headbutt each other but no one landed a blow due to their supurb dodging skills until the white dragon bit Umbra in the center of the neck percing the cloak and scales deep enough the blood squirted up as she moved to get away, releasing her the white dragon was grinning like a hungery predator in-front of his next meal, Umbra recovered and charged when suddenly the world started to spin, she stopped but could barly stand let alone walk, her site started quadruple and she got dizzy and her element started fly from her maw in shadow fire bursts, "well I must say that your taking that poison well," the white dragon said smuggly, "p-p-pois-s-son" stuttered Umbra as the poisons effects doubled, the white dragon laughs at her now grinning smuggly at her, "yes poison this paticurlar one affects your motor skills and other nerve related asspects of your body," he stated still grinning walking up to Umbra, "right now you should be seeing everything in multiples your body can barly stand or walk for that matter, your speech should be impaired and in about fifteen minutes you should pass out" he continued with a evil grin as he walked away picking up Axel and headed back to his home, while Umbra took off into the air trying to stay aloft but barly and then she finally passes out in the western forest crashing through the trees, as the white dragon settles Axel in his house, "whats your name young dragon?" he asked and Axel looks at him with a smile, "my name is Axel sir" he replied making the white dragon chuckle, "please sir is my father I'm Moonstride nice to meet you Axel," Moonstride said smiling at the small dragon as he fell asleep, walking to the window Moonstride looks to the moon with a smile and hope, "Shadowheart my brother please be safe, baby brother I miss you since you left three years ago just be safe" he prayed to the moon and went to his bed and slept.

The next morning Spyro was just getting up from his bed in his home that Ignitus gave him spending the night away from Cynder much to his dislike but tradition was tradition and it was traditional for them to spend the night away from each other but right now Spyro was more concerned about the massive hangover he has right now from that bacholors party he had last night. Getting cleaned up he went downstairs and to one of the three guest rooms he had and entered it walking to the sleeping form of his brother Asher and slugged him in the face knocking him off the bed waking him up, "uz a wha me pu, oh it's you Spyro ooh my aching head why did you punch me in the face dude and added to my hangover I'm hating life right now," he said, not answering Spyro just tosses a peice of parchment onto Asher's bed and walks out, "directions to my wedding please be there," stated Spyro as he left and takes off flying to the palace grounds were the wedding is going to take place.

Spyro arived at the palace and was imedeatly lead to his dressing room as he entered he saw Flame passed out on a couch while Slipstream sat across from his brother holding his head as head laid it on the table, Tezla was admiring the art work when Spyro slammed the door, making flame jump out of his skin and fall flat on his face, while Slipstream crindged from the loud noise due to his hangover, "Spyro did you really need to do that dude you almost gave me a heart attack" Flame complained as he got in to his cermoinial armor which was golden color with the fire guardian symbol on his shoulders and the city uard crest on his chest and back, while Slipstream got into his black armor with Nightstream already in his silver armor, "because it looked like you needed it Flame" Spyro responed sarcasticly as he got into his purple and orange armor with his family crest on the chest and back with the fire guardian symbol on the shoulders, "oi would you two keep it down my head is killing me" Slipstream ordered as his held his head groaning, "then maybe you shouldn't have drank so much nitwit" Nightstream said as he clanged his helmet against his tail blade making Slipstream whine and hold his head all the harder, just then a mole walks into the room, "we're ready for you now" she said as they followed her out to the courtyard taking their possitions while Spyro steps up to the alter smiling to Ignitus who nods his head to his son smiling at him when Hunter with his Avalarian flute and Meadow on the organ start to play "here comes the bride" as the flower girls a dragoness hatchling and a Cheetah kitten duo lay flower pedals as Terrador in his extravagant cerimonial guardian armor excourting Cynder and she came into veiw wearing instead the traditional white garmets she's wearing and bright orange wedding armor/dress with an orange veil to cover her face 'wow she looks possitivly raidiant' thought Spyro as they walked up to the stand Cynder giving a peck to her dad as they embraced and she took her place next to Spyro, "dearly beloved we are gathered here today to be apart this glorius unoin between these two dragons," Ignitus began looking to all gathered before him and the young couple, "before the couple says their vows who gives this shining jewel away to this blazing heart?" Ignitus asks to the crowd and Terrador stands holding back tears "I do" he says voice cracking from held back tears as he sits back down, "the couple has writen their own vows" Ignitus says as Spyro and Cynder face each other, "Cynder you have been alone for most of your life until you met me and together we save the world from the Dark Master and when we awoke from our four year slumber I confessed my love to you now I make a this vow to you I will not let you be alone for as long as I still breath" Spyro vowed holeheartedly, "Spyro you've sacrificed so much for others even me you let your body take a blow that would have killed me because of your love and so I vow for as long as you live I will be there to heal your wounds no matter where they are wiether they be pyhsical or spiritual" Cynder vowed bowing her head slightly, "the rings please" Ignitus said to Flame holding out a pillow for them and Flame placed the two rings to him (the same ones Spyro made) and Ignitus held them to the couple, Cynder then grabs Spyro's ring and clasped it to his left leg when she did that he grabed hers and clasped it to her left leg, "by the power veisted in me as Fire Guardian I now pronounce you mates Spyro you may kiss your mate" Ignitus announced as Spyro lifted Cynder veil from her face and brought her into a passinate kiss, then the crowd cheered for the young couple when, "dad is that really you!?" a voice sounded over the crowd making them go silent as everyone turns to the brides entrance to see Asher standing there, 'dad?' Ignitus thought confused, "it's me your son Asher" Asher cried trying to hold back tears when it hit Ignitus and he remembered the young dragon, tears running down his face Ignitus rushed foward and held his eldest son, "your alive Asher i was so worried my son I missed you and your mother so much I'm sorry that i wasn't there" he said through tears of joy as they embraced, "I don't care about the past your here now that's all that matters" Asher said as he shed his own tears of joy, they held each other for a good minute before a series of thuds snaps everyones attention back to the wedding stand to see Slipstream flat on his face ass strait up in the air with his tail looping over to rest on top of his head, Nightstream groaned as his face palmed himself while everyone including Tsunami were tying not to laugh at the fucked up wind dragon, then Nightstream grabbed his hopless brother's tail and dragged his ass out of sight while saying, "I told you not to drink so much last night now look what happened ypu passed out in the middle of a wedding by the ancestors your hopeless but your my brother so I stuck with you knucklehead". After all that drama everyone moved on to the reception and partied for most of the night and watched a solo dace between Spyro and Cynder paired up a perfect night for an almost perfect day.

In the forest on the outskirts of Warfangs western wall Umbra was limbing to the hill top meeting place where Caecus was waiting for her blood was dripping from the wound Moonstride gave and she was still feeling some of the effects of his poisonous bite, "madam Umbra are all right" she heard Caecus call as she walked up the hill cloak billowing in the wind revealing several pieces of woodden shrapnel impaling her right side from Axel's fear roar in the hospital, "I'm fine just a bit whoozy from a fight with a very interesting dragon" she responded to him, "so Axel did this to you" he asked but Umbra shakes her head, "no Axel just gave me a few peices of wood into my side no why I'm so whoozy is from a moon white poison dragon," she said with a smirk "what I thought white dragons were only able to use the ice element not poison" Caecus stated confused as Umbra's smirk widened into a feral grin, "yes thats what I thought as well but he used poison and that's not the only thing i sensed from him" Umbra commented, "what was the other thing madam"? Asked Caecus raising am eye ridge, "I think he might be a fear dragon to because Axel hid behind him like he knew him and both of us know fear dragons espeacily fear dragons who know the fear whisper ability can sense one another's presence. I would love to get my paws on him and that black shadow dragon that vanished from Venom's grasp a year ago" She stated giddily while Caecus looked at her in thought, "the shadow dragon you mentioned he was the one with the three scyth tail blades correct?" he asked and she nodded as Caecus smiled "well looks like I'm not the only one who missed his target he said and Umbra gave him a death stare, "he resisted madam and your orders were to kill any target who resisted capture" Caecus stated as Umbra nodded, looking back to Warfang with a look of disgust, "two candidates gone one under protection and one hopeful damn this was a horrible waste of time" she though as she walked off, "let us return to my mate Caecus he's waiting for us" she said as Caecus followed behind her.

The day after Spyro and Cynder's wedding The guardians gather all of their candidates in the collisium with the proteges standing in front of their fellow candidates, "we are gathered here after the alotted two months and all of us are impressed by your progess and knowlege of your respected element," Terrador started but paused to take a breath when Ignitus spoke up, "we have already have chosen our apprentices but we are holding a tornement for all of our candidates," said Ignitus with a smile as Volteer started to speak, "the tornement shall start out within your elements pitting fire candidates against fire candidates and so on when there are but two left to fight in all of the elements then the real tornement will begin with the fighters being chosen at random to fight in the first rounds then the winners will face off until the finals and the tornement is one lose knockout tornement," as Volteer finished Cyril spoke up "the rules are as follows there will be no furries allowed all fighter mist wear full battle armor for your bouts in order to prevent injury other than those restrictions it's a no holds bared tornement we espect all of you to go all out even if you have to fight family, friends or mates," finished Cyril, the Arrow spoke, "this tournement is not to decide the apprentices they have already been decided and they will be revealed as every tournement ends with the last two left before the second one begins and remember one thing though you are not in any danger here doesn't they enemy out there will be merciful," he finished while looking right at Nightstream reminding him that he is not aloud to go for the kill like he did when training with Arrow because of his years of service to Demetrius. "Now with all that said go get some rest for tomorrow the tourniment starts," Ignitus said grinning then looked right at Spyro and Cynder in a father like manner, "thats means you two as well no late night shenannigans until after this tournement is over" he said to the now mated couple making them blush as Slipstream fell over laughing only to get a closed paw to the nuts by Tsunami making Nightstream face palm himself muttering to the couple, "your both hopeless" all Tsunami did was crack her neck and nuckles menicingly at him while Nightstream grinned at her like a predetor does prey making her back off, "now all earth guardian candidates will meet in the earth arena's training room at nine'o clock sharp, now dissmissed" Terrador commanded and the candidates dispersed while all the proteges gathered at Spyro's home, "tournement oooh that sounds like fun," Stone said with a grin while Eartha was thinking along those same lines but little bit more discret about what her face showed, "I think it's just a waist of time and publicly demeaning having to fight your fellow candidates" Berg commented looking anoyed that he has to fight, "well I can't stop thinking about it, it's so exciting that I shaking from anticapation" stated Slipstream excitedly while snuggled up to Tsunami and grinning like a kid in a candy store, "no Slipstream your still shaking from Tsunami's nut shot earlier" teased Nightstream while looking indifferent to the whole deal but on the inside nervese that he would try to kill anyone he fought because of his past, Slipstream atunned to his brother's expreasions he knew what Nightstream really felt "bro your not going to kill anyone because we're here to make sure you stay you" Slipstream said to his brother low enough only Nightstream heard him making his older brother to at him but Slipstream just gave Night stream a wink and looked back to their friends, "oh come on Berg and be a sport for once in your life instead of an aristocrat," Cynder said with a look of exaperation, "well excuse me princess but I'm entitled to my own oppions and you act more like a noble instead of acting like these commoner trash heaps," he said only to gulp a second later as he was face to face with a very pissed off Nightstream who beat Spyro to the punch litterally because Nightstream laid Berg out by slugging him in the head sending him into the wall behind him, "you have no right to talk like your better that me you get out of your bed like I do," Nightstream growled "but you think your better than us because you were born rich and into a noble family well you couldn't be more wrong and you have no idea what I went through to be here free like you insult me again and I'll make sure no noble dragon will ever mate with you," Nightstream snarled at Berg before leaving as Slipstream followed him to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid, "Berg you need to go dude I think it would be best if also stayed away from my mate and me if you you don't want to be seen with commoner trash," Cynder stated cold enough to make Spyro shiver at her tone as Berg glared at her, "you should have taken me up on my offer to marry you to my brother so you could have been the heir to Warfangs throne and so your family could keep a pureblooded status," he said as Spyro growled at him with murder in his eyes making Berg's blood run cold from it stepping in front of her mate she looked Berg in the eye as she slapped him and drug Spyro into their bedroom as everyone left, "Berg your an idoit a spoiled brat and a stuck up fool who thinks pureblooded noble dragons better than everyone else and for your information Spyro's family line is decended from the first High King of Blazehelmn keep", stated Flame in disgust as he left Berg standing alone in the street as they left Spyro and Cynder's home.

Later that night Berg walks into his masoin givin to him by his parents in the Capital of Icehord Feif and walks into his private study shutting the door and locked it, then shut the curtains and scaned the entire room to check for any recording crystals as a precation. When he finished his checks in the room he walked over to his desk and sat down behind it as he brought out a comunication crystal and set it on the desk, he tapped the crystal in a sequence with a talon which activated the crystal, when the crystal's surface turned black, "contact General Myth" he commanded as two blood red eyes formed in the Crystal, "why do you contact me Berg I have more pressing matters to deal with" said a distorted voice in an annoyed tone, "I'm sorry my lord but the princess Cynder ignored my advances and still became mated to Spyro son of Ignitus" informed Berg nervous that Myth was going to send an assissin to kill him "most unfortunate but it can't be helped continue your mission young dragon and we'll leave your feif alone" Myth commanded as Berg bowed to him as the crystal deactivated and berg put it away as he went to his room a collasped into his bed.

Dawn signaled a new day has begun and the city was buzzing with activity as dragons all over Warfang feif nd the out lieing fiefs to watch the tournement now known as The Element Cup to cheer on their favorite to win, as the earth arena was filled to the brim of spectators of all walks od life and species, when arena was filled Terrador walked out onto the observation balcony with the other guardians and their proteges, "ladies and gentlemen welcome to the first ever Element Cup" he announced making the crowd roar in excitment "today my earth guardian candidates shall kick off the tournement with a battle royal till the last two are standing" he stated as the crowd roared in reponse, "and now without ado CANDIDATES TAKE THE FEILD" Terrador roared slaming a paw into the balcony making the entier arena quake and the candidates marched out till they circled around till all of them were in the arena and all of them looked like they were ready for war their armor shining in the morning sun, "all of you know the rules as they were explained yesterday and after this battle I will annouce my aprentices" Terrador stated looking to all of his candidates and raised a paw and all of the candidates dropped into a battle stance growling and snarling at each other, "BEGIN" roared Terrador as brought his paw down as all hell broke loose as the earth guardian candidates charged and blasted their elements as they collided into each other or their element slamed into each other dragons were battling tooth and claw beating the holy hell out each other while others battled with their elements attacking any one who twiched in their direction before jumping into the fray and after several hours four candidates were left standing Eartha was not one of them she got knockout by Stone from the start, Stone faced off with one of his rivals as they bit clawed and threw each other into the walls trying to make the other submit while the two females face off ended and soon it was a three way fight which ended quickly as Stone grabbed his male rival by the horns and slammed his head into the dirt then threw him into a wall knocking him out cold ending the battle, "both of you may stand down and crongradulations upon reaching this stag of the tournement Stone, and Crystal(a lime green dragoness same age as Stone not as big and is the twin sister of Eartha but without the tattoos and scars), Terrador said to the young dragons, "now for my apprentices, the first and ovious choice is Stone of the dessart tribes, and my second apprentice is what surprised even myself though Eartha seemed to be a great choice but she told me herself she came her to learn more about her element not become earth guardian which surprised me but then I saw this young dragon," he stated gesturing to Cryastal, "she wanted the possition and has proven herself more than worthy as my aprentice" Terrador boomed to all as the two earth dragons had their silver medalions ripped off only to be replaced by to golden ones, "congradulations my students you've earned it" he said with a smile as the crowd cheered in congrats to the new Earth Guardian Aprentices, "the next rounds of the tournement shall begin tomorrow at the same time for the ice candidates to duke it out" Cyril annouced to the excited crowd as the guardians left.

Back at the temple around the dinner table their was a series of snap crackle pops, "ohh crrrap I'm going to feel that tomorrow" Stone stated as he streched out his back and neckmaking Eartha chuckle, "well I'm glad I got to do that damage" she said mockingly as Stone glared until both back hips pop, "okay that hurt" he said making everyone laugh at him so he took a swipeat Slipstreamsincehewas the closest only to make his shoulders pop painfuly as the silver wnd dragonjumped over the paw and landed on top of the earth dragon making his back pop more, "ohman you afully tense here let me help" Slipstream said as he twisted his paws slighty making Stone's back pop more as he swung his tail at Slipstream making leap off as another series of snap crackle pops echoed in the dinning hall, "your an ass Slipstream" Stone said as he finished his portion of deer and left to go to his room as the other's followed suite and went to bed.

The next day brought a excited an giddy Cynder to the ice arena being escourted by her mate Spyro as they entered her fitting room in the arena, "oh I can't wait to show off what I learned to my mom," Cynder rambled as Spyro brought out the brand new set of battle armor he made for her, "hey Cyn lets get you armor on so can be ready as he opened the crate he had brought here during the night, "oh by the ancestors it's absolutly gorges Spyro" She stated as she gave him a kiss and took off her choker so it didn't get dameged out there as Spyro placed her black and magenta armor with the symbol of the Ice guardian on her fore leg shoulders, helmet and back in the same bule color that Cyril is with the royal seal on her chest in blazing orange and just below it was Spyro's family crest, making Cynder look absolutly intimidating and feirce, "you look just as gorges with that armor on Cyn" Spyro complimented her as they nuzzled before Spyro placed her helmet on her head, "I gotta run do your best and I love you" Spyro said lovingly "and I love you Spyro now get going before both our fathers get mad at you" Cynder said just as lovingly as Spyro exited leaving her alone to warm up and get used to moving in the armor.

While Cynder is getting ready the arena filled to compassity again as most of the city came to watch along with all those who traveled to Warfang and like last time the guardians came out onto the balcony well all except Terrador who was in the arena, "ladies and gentlement of the lands welcome to the second day of the tournement" Cyril said to to the crowd as they cheered, "today my candidates will battle in one on one match ups leading to the final bought which is an exipition between the last two candidates standing" he stated making the crowd roar with anticipation, "now our esteamed earth guardian Terrador has volunteered to ref the fights to keep them fair" Cyril announced to the crowd while gesturing to him, "and without futher ado our first match up is between two royal dragons" Cyril stated getting the crowd pumped, "on the right is the son of the esteamed Baron of Dante's Freezer, FROST!" Cyril announced as a snow white dragon walked out wearing oceanic armor with his family crest emblazened in red on his chest and back, "now his opponent on the left is one of Warfang's own," Cyril said as the crowd roared, "she is the duaghter of two esteamed dragons and she is CYNDER THIRD PRICESS OF WARFANG AND DUAGHTER OF TERRADOR AND ICHARA" Cyril roared as the crowd went nuts as Cynder walked out to the center of the arena opposite of Frost, "now shake paws" Terrador ordered as Cynder and Frost grasped each other paws hard trying to get the other to wince, "bow to your teacher" ordered the earth dragon, both Cynder and Frost bowed to Cyril as he bowed to them, "now face each other," and the tow dragons followed the order. Raising a paw Terrador looked to both dragons seeing them both ready to go in a battle stance, "BEGIN" he yelled leaping back and out of range as Cynder leapt into action firing off several ice shards at Frost who used his tail blade to shatter all but one as is hit his chest and sent him flying from the sheer force of the impact but bafore he could recover Cynder was on top of him swinging her tail blade in his direction as he used his wings push himself into the air to dodge her but as her tail blade struck the snow covered ground a wave of ice blasted out from the ground grazing him as the ice wave smashed into the arena wall behind him, landing on his feet Frost blasted out a freezing mist at Cynder as he leaped into the air taking to the sky as the ice mist covered the arena, "hey look up ice for brains" yelled a voice above Frost making him look up only to see Cynder above him swinging the blunt edge of her tail blade level with his head as it smashed into his head sending him into the ground making a crater where he hit out cold, "WINNER IS PRINCESS CYNDER OF WARFANG" Terrador shouted as the crowd went wild from the ending of the fight but no one was as loud as Spyro as he let loose a torrent of fire into the sky making Cynder blush. Bergs fight lasted five seconds as he blasted his opponent with an ice bomb and ruthlessly smashed her head into the ground with his tail knocking her out cold. Cynder and Berg both won their semi round matches with ease now they stood in the center of the arena glaring daggers at each other in hate, Terrador raised his paw both of them dropped into their battle staces and brought down yelling, "BEGIN" leaping back as Berg fired off three ice bombs at Cynder who charged foward dodging them as she reached Berg she smashed the blunt end of her tail blade into Bergs head sending him flying and to smash into the snow covered ground, Cynder then smashed her tail into the ground unleashing a wave of ice at Berg who counter with the same move but Cynder's was more powerful and blasted through his making him take to the sky as the ice wave froze his back legs and tail weighing him down in the air when Cynder was above him and before he could react she did the same thing she did to Frost and tried to cave in his skull by smashing the blunt end of her tail blade into his helemted head sending him crashing into the ground twice as hard as Frost, Berg tried to stand only to have Cynder crash into himsending further into the ground but she was not done grabbing Berg by the head she threw him into the wall with surprising strength making him dent the wall as Berg stood again he was smashed back into the wall as Cynder rammed him in the gut making him vomit both his breakfast and blood she dodged the vomit and then bit her jaws around Berg's throat and slamed him into the ground pinning him with a the death bite as Terrador threw her off of him to check if he was alive but he vitals were fine as he shackily stood up, "CYNDER IS THE WINNER" Terrador announced the crowd cheered and Spyro fired another fire torrent in celebration, "congrats both of you for getting this far but I regret to inform you two that I am taking one aprentice and one only" Cyril announced making the crown go silent and made Cynder worried, " the dragon I chose is the only one in my oppion who desservies this appointment and that dragon is the one and only Cynder!" he stated making the crowd go wild when, "WHAAAT! YOU CHOOSE HER OVER ME! SHE IS NOTHING BUT A COMMENER LOVING SKANK!" Berg shouted but before Terrador or Cynder could do anything a orange streak smashed into him causing a massive explosion sending him into the wall behind him but before he could do anymore damege Ignitus grabs Spyro in his maw while Terrador grabs Cynder in a similar manner but the only voice that could be heard was Spyro's as he cursed up a storm at Berg, but unseen by everyone Nightstream gripped the railing so hard from anger he shattered it making Arrow look at him in concern, 'I think that hit more than just a nerve for him it was personal and if Berg and him were to fight I think Nightstream would try to kill him for that insult' Arrow thought worriedly as they left along with the spectators.

"I CAN'T BELEIVE HE HAD THE GAL TO SAY THAT OHHH I WANNA RIP THAT ARISTOCRATIC THROAT OF HIS OUT AFTER I SHOVE HIS GENITAILS DOWN HIS NECK" Spyro shouted still pissed off at Berg for what he said as Cynder and the others let him vent his anger completely understanding his anger at Berg for insulting Cynder publicly after she had gained the apprenticeship Berg had felt he desserved, "Spyro calm down at least you get to pay him back when the final tournement starts and beat the hell out of that spoiled rotten, snot nosed, bastard" Cynder said trying to calm him down and it seemed to work as he took a deep breath and the tempurature in the room dropped signifigantly, "well that's if big bro doesn't kill him first" Slipstream stated from next to Tsunami as they snuggled making everyone stare at him, "by the way where is Nightstream?" Spyro asked woorried Nightstream would try to kill Berg now, "he's venting with master Arrow right now in the training arena" Slipstream said as he got up headed for his room in the templeand everyone followed his lead and went to bed. The next day Teza and Tezla breezed throught there compitition and their match ended with a draw as the shocked each other while both of them locked each other in a death bite and both ended up being Volteer's choice for apprenticeship.

As dawn came to Warfang the fire arena filled to compassity earlier than usual as Spyro and Cynder headed for his ready room in the arena at a brisk pace because Spyro was pumped and wanted to show his dad how much he grew and to prove himself to the other candidates when, "there he is hey Spyro over" a voice called as Spyro saw it was Asher and a older dragoness waiting for him and Cynder by the door of his ready room, "hey Asher what are you doing here? and who is with you?" Spyro asked as he hugged his brother, "by the ancestors you look so much like your father son" the yellow dragoness stated making Spyro nervous, "I'm your mother Spyro I finally get to meet you" Volteara said as tears of joy started to form when Spyro ran to her and embraced her leg (since he wasn't tall enough to reach higher) "mom I so happy your alright" he said as she returned the embrace as she looked to Cynder, "well are you going to greet you mother-in-law Cynder" Volteara asked with a warm smile as Cynder ran to her in answer, they sepperates after a little bit when Cynder told Volteara and Asher that Spyro needed to get ready, "do your best son I'll be watching with your father," Volteara said as she and Asher left, after five minutes Spyro had his dark purple armor on with both his family crest and the royal seal on his chest and back with the fire guardian inblom on his helmet and shoulders. While out side Volteara sat next to her mate and the other guardians as the crowd buzzed with excitment when Ignitus silenced them all by raising his wings, "today is the fire candidates turn to do battle to see which two can advance to the fianl tournement" he stated and the crowd roared excitedly, "but I regret to inform you all that I well be following Cyril in only choosing one apprentice but I did not make this decision it was my stand in Ferna and I'm folowing her choice to say thanks for filling up the void I had left almost four years ago a void that was hard to live up to so the one apprentice is her choice she made a month ago before I returned and i stand by it and so do the other guardians" he informed the crowd as scatered cheers broke out, "now without furthur ado our first match of the day is between two powerful fire dragons" Ignitus announced making the crowd cheer like mad, "on my left we have Volcanus of Blazehelm" and as Ignitus announced the youn dragon he walked out and he was massive twice the size of a normal adolesent dragon, " and on my righ we have one of Warfangs own, my son SPYRO!" he yelled as Spyro walked out Cynder cheering her heart out for him making him blush, the fighter paid their respects to each other and to Ignitus and Terrador raised his paw and both dropped into a battle stance, then he dropped it yelling, "BEGIN" and leaped out of the way as both dragons comet dashed at each other colliding into each other causing a massive explosion blocking them from veiw when Volcanus flew out of the smoke crashing into the dirt as Spyro flew out in pursuit a slaming a flame wrapped tail onto him making Volcanus fly into the wall from the explosion and before Volcanus got back to his feet Spyro slamed his head into the wall with a paw KOing him, "and the winner is Spyro of Warfang," Terrador yelled making the crowd cheer like mad. Flame's match went just as well as he got his opponent in the death bite. Both dragons blasted ans scorched their way through the competition while Cynder was cheering herself horse for Spyro and finally they found themselves face to face in the final round. Both clasped paws as they reached the center of the arena, "may the best win and lets have some fun" flame said in a playful tone, "same to you buddy" Spyro responded in the same tone, then they bowed to Ignitus and faced each other dropping into their battle stances whenTerrador raised his paw then dropped it yelling "BEGIN" and leaped out of the way as both fire dragon shot a pillar of fire at each other and both attacks narrowly missed Terrador as they collided, both dragon pumped power into their attacks as they struggled back and forth to over power the other until Spyro started to get the upper hand and Flame did the smart thing a cut of his fire taking to the sky to avoid Spyro's attack as it smashed into the wall were Flame was standing a second ago, Spyro followed Flame into the air and the two fire dragons circled each other for a second then both of the flew at each other as fast as they could slamming into each other and started to claw, bite, punch, and headbutting one another the crowd and Cynder were watching the contest with baited breath, when both of them fired a fireball at each other but the balls missed each other by inches and hit both dragons making both crash to the ground hard as Cynder and Ember gasped when their mates hit the ground, flame maneged to stand but bearly he looked to where Spyro hit a saw a crater no Spyro when heard a rushing next to him making him look to his right to see Spyro swinging his flame wrapped tail in a uppercut towards his chest, Flame leaped back but it was to late as the tail smashed into him and exploded on comtact sending him into a wall and Spyro followed up by placing his tail blade to Flames throat, "SPYRO IS THE WINNER" Terrador roared as the crowd just lost it while Cynder started jumping around in celebration, Spyro held out a paw to Flame to help him up, "good match there buddy" Spyro complemented as Flame took the paw and got back to his feet, "yeah that was a good match bud," Flame replied with a wirey grin as both of them headed for the center of the arena, "the both of you fought well and I am proud to have the pleasure of training you though as breif as it was I know Ferna would be proud to see her students do that well" Ignitus stated as the to dragons bowed their thanks to him, "now to the sad part of my job for only one of you was chosen to be the fire guardian aprentice" Ignitus said regretfuly, "Ferna chose this dragon because he was notibly the strongest candidate, and fought through advirsity and his trials have brought him here" Ignitus ranted as he looked down at the two young fire dragons, "this dragon is none other than my son Spyro of Warfang" Ignitus announced making Flame grin from ear to ear as he clapped Spyro on the back in congrats while the crowd cheered like crazy, "tomorrow the wind dragons get their chance to raise hell and the Typhoon brothers have been iching to fight" Ignitus informed the crowd and as he finish both Slipstream and Nightstream both took to the sir and slmed into each other sending out a gust of wind that bllew the spectators out of their seats, "those wto have been rearing to go now you get to see them fight tomorrow" Arrow said as he followed the guardians out of the arena while Slipstream and Nightstream roared challenges to each other as they flew off to the temple clashing a few more times send shockwaves of wind everywhere.

The next morning the brothers woke at the sametime ignoring the other's presence until they reached the wind arena, they face each other and they headbutted each other sending a powerful shockwave of wind, "you better not lose you silver punk" Nightstream said threateningly to Slipstream making him grin evily, "same to you yah black brat" Slipstream replied as they walked to the opposite ends of the arena. Several hours later the arena was filled once more but everyone want to watch the to brothers go at it but the arena was split with Slipstream fans and Nightstream fans they went as far to bet who would win as Lord Arrow walked into the arena via the balcony, "ladies and gentlemen thank you for coming today my students get to tear the heavens apart for your entertainment but I like the rest of the guardians have already chosen my aprentices now without anymore foreplay lets BEGIN!" Arrow announced making the crowd wild, "on my left we have one of Windhelms finest son of the esteamed general Javilen, I'm proud to introduce, Whirlwind of Windhealm" Arrow annouced as a runt of a wind dragon walked out in red armor with the family crest on his chest and back is black, "now on my right we have one of Warfangs own and one of the Typhoon brothers, I give SLIPSTREAM THE SILVER ARROW" Arrow annouced using Slipstream's nickname Arrow gave him as Slipstream walked out waving to the crowd like an idoit and blew a kiss for his dragoness Tsunami, he is wearing black and silver armor with wind guardian emblom both where it normaly is and on the chest and back, he shook the other dragons paw and got ready as Terrador raised his paw, Terrador dropped his paw and jumped away as the two drakes smashed into each other graspping each others paws trying to over power the other, though that wasn't the case with Slipstream, "is this all you can do *sigh* boooooring" he said bored as he swept Whirlwinds feet out from under him as he spun and struck the runt with his tail as he fired a wind bullet with it sending the pour dragon into the wall behind him knocking him out cold while Slipstream sat on his haunches, "NEXT!" he yelled as he cleaned out his ear hole, "slipstream wins" Terrador says still stuned at the speed Slipstream ended the fight, "now on to our next fight on my left we have the younger sister of Xalo of the Howling wind Tribes, introducing STREAK of the howling wind" Arrow announced after Slipstream left and as an average looking wind dragoness entered the arena with pink armor on with her tribe symbol on her chest and back, "and on my left we have the older Typhoon brother NIGHTSTREAM THE BLACKHURRICANE" Arrow announced making Nightstream wince at the use of his old name but the crown paid no attention to it as they cheered, the same process was repeated but as Terrador droped his paw streak charged at Nightstream he did not move until the last second and leaped into the air a good twenty feet above Streak as she stopped at where he used to stand, flipping till Nightstream had his head pointed right at her and spread his massive wings gathering his wind element into them using them as sails, he threw them back using the wind in them to get him a huge boost he smashed her into the ground ruthlessly by crashing into her making the entire crowd and the guardians cringe in sypathy, "Nightstream wins" Terrador announced as Nightstream carried Streak's unconces form to Ember and left. The brothers had not trouble what so ever as they took down their fellow candidates and both of them ended up walking to the center of the arena for the final match for them before the final tournement. Both of the didn't bother to shake paws but instead the smashed their heads together in a hard ass headbutt that rang through out the arena then the trash talk begain, "bring it shit head", "I'll wipe the floor with you come on", "your done for black bitch" "I'll beat your head in sliver ass" and such other comments as Terrador backed up not bothering to get between the sibling rivals and yelled, "BEGIN" and the brothers shot into action as their tail blades clashed creating and hurricane force shockwave as they tried to over power each other when they take to the sky they fight as hard as they did when they first met Arrow and filled the arena with so much wind no one could stay in their seats for more than five seconds and this lasted for and hour until both dragons crashed into each other and didn't seperate crashing into the ground as they beat the shit out of each other, when the dust cleared both of them had their tail blades at the other's throat, "DRAW" terrador announced making the crowd cheer and those who bet groaned cause they just lost a shit ton of money, "bravo you two absolutly brillant exactly what I'd expect from my best students, now apprentices" Arrow announced as they clasped each other in a one armed bro hug as they crowd congradulated them, "with all of the preliminairies out of the way the final part of the tournement begins tomorrow as the ten fighters two from every element fight to see who is the strongest among themselves." Arrow said as he left with the crowd while Slipstream and Nightstream took to the air heading for the nearest pub to celibrate along with the rest except Spyor and Cynder.

As night fell Spyro and Cynder spooned with each other when Cynder turned to face Spyro, "when are we going to have our honeymoon Spyro?" she asks a little upset about it, "When the tournement is over I guess Cyn" he responed just as upset, okay then lets make it interesting when we face each other I win we consolidate our mating if you win we wait till the tournement is over how about that" Cynder proposed with a sly grin, "sounds good to me my frost princess" Spyro said as he kissed her before they fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next morning all the combatants were in the same ready room in their armor ready to duke it out with each other, they heard the collisium fill up as they heard the crowds buzzing and they heard Ignitus' voice "ladies and gentlemen today we are going to begin the final tournal for the Element Cup and tomorrw we will see who will win the cup and the bragging rights" and the crowd cheered making Berg scoff at them while Nightstream glared at him like he was trying to kill him from afar and the scar on his left eye made all the worse, even Slipstream kept his distince from Nightstream, "the first bowt is wind apprentice Nightstream vs. electricity apprentice Tezla," Ignitus annouced as the two left to enter the colisium together, Nightstream ended up knocking Tezla out with a single hit with his element enhaced tail, Flame went up against Teza and ended up getting fried horribly getting drug back by Teza and Ember, Slipstream got his ass handed to him by Cynder so bad he saw stars and was hollucinating from a few to many whacks in the head Berg and Spyro wiped the floor with Crystal and Stone getting them to surrender, "the match ups are as follows Nightstream VS Berg, Cynder VS Teza, Spyro has a bye this round but will go up against the winner of Cynder VS Teza, Berg and Nightstream enter the Collissium for you match," announced Ignitus as Nightstream left snarling his fangs bared as he left while Berg walked out like he owned the place, both of walked out to the center, "shake paws" terrador ordered but Nightstream wasn't listening instead he slammed his helmeted head against Bergs and he returned it, "I'm going to humuliate you here commener trash," Berg taunted as Nightstream snarled at him bairing his fangs, "I'm going to kill you and prove that blood means nothing to prove your better than everyone else" Nightstream said coldly and menicingly enough to make Terrador's blood run frigid as he backed off a good distance and raised his paw and dropped it yelling "BEGIN" and Nightstream imedeatly bites down onto Bergs neck and throw him with all his strength sending Berg into a wall a good thirty feet away but as Berg stood Nightstream was already grabbing his head and slamming it into the wall once, twice, three times and tossed him across the collissium leaping into the air he gathered the wind around him and started to spin creating his and his brother's signiture move and drove it into Berg's gut trying to use the wind to tear him apart and Arrow sees this and moves to ignitus' side, "stop the fight or Berg is a dead dragon and Nightstream is going to be the one who kills him" Arrow whispers but then a blood curtling scream peirces the air and they see Nightstream eyes bugged out insanely and bloodlusting grin on his muzzle with his tail all the way throught Berg exiting where his stomach should be as Nightstream grasps his throat and begins to choke the life out of him with his right fore paw holding him in the air completely off the ground, when Volteer yells to Terrador, "stop the match Nightstream has won stop him before Berg becomes a corspe beating Ignitus to the punch and Terrador imedeatly uses his earth element to swat Nightstream away from Berg before any more harm can be done, Ember rushes to Berg's side and goes to keep him from bleeding out when a crushing wind smashes into Terradors earth wall as Nightstream tries to kill Berg again with more force this time but before he could do that Arrow was pinning him to the ground and careful not to crush Nightstream's wings, "nightstream calm down your not the blackhurricane any more stop this madness what would Slipstream think of this Nightstream" Arrow shouted to him but upon hearing Slipstream's name he snapped out of it and he saw Berg lying on the ground with the wounds he gave him, "no not again I did that no that's not right how could i do that WHY GRAAAAAAAAAAAH!" he shouted in fright and started to cry out of fear as memories of of his battles in Demetrius' service, while tried Arrow consouled him and lead him away to a private ready room to calm down a sort through things as Arrow watched over him, "holy shit remind me to never piss Nightsrteam off" Spyro stated with wide eyes at what happened, Berg was stablized a taken to the hospital by a trio of moles and two cheetahs, "without further ado, Cynder and Teza come out for you match and the two female walked out as the crowd exploded in cheers after that crazy spell with Nightstream, Cynder end up turning Teza into a dragoness cycle and had to be taken the infirmery to be warmed up and to make sure she doesn't die from hypothermya, Now the final match of the day a match between mates Spyro VS Cynder, my son and daughter enter the Collissium for your match Ignitus annouced after Cynder had a quick rest and the couple enter the Collissium head held high as they head for the center. Once they reach the center they bow to Ignitus and turn toward each other and instead of shaking each other's paw they give a quick kiss and get in a battle stance with grins on their mugs, "BEGIN" Terrador yells and Cynder fires off with series of ice shards and ice bombs at her mate who blazes his body heat out so hot that her ice attacks melt a good five feet away from him and he retaileates with a wave of fire from his maw and Cyn der matches and the two attacks collide in the middle explosively as they struggled back and forth to over power each other but their strength levels are the same as the result of fire meeting ice a fog covers the two fighting mates when they both suddenly burst from the mist and collide mid flight as they started to claw, bite, smack each other with their tails, and punch one another they were both evenly matched as they fought but careful not to harm each other when Spyro suddenly tackles Cynder form the side and dives with her strait for the ground making Cynder panic but then they land softly as Spyro's tail blade rested on Cynder's throat and his rear left paw rubbing against her love tunnel, "looks like I lose our bet Cynder" he whispers to her seductivly making her eyes widen as Spyro winks at her putting her back on her feet, "Spyro has won the battle of the mates now he faces off with Nightstream for the final match tomorrow at noon," Ignitus announced as all of Spyro's fans cheer and made their way out of the collissium.

That night Cynder was lying on her back pondering at what Spyro ment after their match when he clearly won it puzzled her tremedusly when she felt her rear legs being parted and a tongue starting to lick her vagina making her moan and as it started the tongue stopped as Spyro crawl up onto Cynder their chests touching, "hello my lovely frost princess," Spyro said as he kissed Cynder passoinately his tongue entering her maw exploring it as Cynder returened the kiss her's start to wrestle with Spyro's as he explored her sharp fangs the back of her throat everywhere in her maw, he then broke the kiss and started to kiss and lick Cynder's neck going progresivly lower each time causing her to moan in pleasure as he reached his destination at her love tunnel and he begain to lick it again getting Cynder to gasp at the sudden pleasure when he parted her lips and entered her vagina licking all around as her walls cleanched around his tongue and her moans got louder when she grabbed his head and lifted it to look at her, "take me Spyro don't make me wait anylonger take me now" she begged him as he climbed back up to kiss her as the head of his dragonhood pressed against her vaginal lips, looking into Cynder eyes she nodded her consent to her mate as Spyro slowly entered her making her moan at the slow entery when Spyro encounter some resistance from her hymen, Spyro look back into Cynder's edmerald eyes, "do it Spyro take my virginity as I take yours so we may start a family," she encourged as Spyro press his weight down forcing his way through her hymen tearing it making Cynder scream in pain and pleasure as Spyro let her adjust to his dick while he was buried to the hilt in his mates sex, and when she told him was ready Spyro slowly started to thrust in and out as Cynder moaned in pure bliss and pleasure, soon Spyro started to pick up his pace as Cynder's moans started to get louder and she started to thrust in synch with his as he thrusted down into her before long Spyro was thrusting like a rutting dog as they both started to reach their climaxes but Cynder reached hers first screaming in pleasure she orgazimed and clinched her vaginal walls so tightly that Spyro climaxed right then and there in her womb painting her walls so full of his seed, the couple were so tired that they fell asleep still attached.

The next morning Cynder woke up remembering what happend last night made her smile when a wave of nausia hit her and she rushed to the bathroom waking Spyro in the process and vomited making him worried, "lets go see Ember Cyn" he suggested and she agreed and they walked to the hospital and found Ember right off the bat at the front desk, "hey Ember," Spyro called out to her getting her attention and she made her way to them, "hey guys whats oh my Cynder you don't look so good come on into the examination room" Ember said as she spotted the problem leadin Cynder inside but turned to Spyro, "please wait in the lobby Spyro she'll be fine" Ember said to him as he turned and went back into the lobby to wait as he paced worried, Ember went inside the room and gave Cynder a quick check up when she sees that Cynders hymen has been torn, "Cynder did you and Spyro mate at all this week?" She asked Cynder, "we just mated last night is there something wrong?" Cynder replied a little scared, "no not at all so was the reason Spyro brought you here was sudden nausia?" Ember asked getting a hunch on what is wrong, "yes it is what going on Ember? this has never happened to me before," Cynder said now a little frightened, "shshshshh, it's okay Cynder it's a good thing you might just be gravid (preggers)" Ember stated making Cynder eyes widen, "gravid are you sure?" Cynder asked excitedly, "there's one way to be sure but I need you to pee in here Cynder," Ember said pushing a basin between Cynder's hind legs and Cynder relieved herself in it, "now I'll come and find at the tournement you when the test is complete you may go to your mate Cynder he's propaly tearing out his scales worrying about you" Ember said as Cynder followed her direction and went to the lobby and Spyro was at her side befroe she could say anything, "I'm fine Spyro Ember thinks I might be gravid" she tells her overly worried mate after trying to get him calm down for a good five minutes, "gravid Cynder is she sure?" he asked excited, "she said that she'd find me at the tournement when the test is done" Cynder replied finally calming Spyro as she gets him to escourt her to the Collissium.

As Spyro left Cynder in the balcony with Cyril and the other guardians along with the rest of the apprentices minus him and Nightstream he headed for the ready room to get into his armor to find Nightstream already there in his silver and black combat armor, "your a little behind that's not like you what happened?" Nightstream asked recovered from his crazy spell, "had to take Cynder to see Ember and she might be gravid we won't know till after the test comeback" he replied making Nightstream scoff, "well that's great dude if it comback possitive let me say congrats" Nightstream said happily as Spyro put his armor on for the final time in this tournement, "ladies and gentlemen welcome to the final match of The Element Cup between Fire Apprentice Spyro and Wind Apprentice Nightstream, who will win it all who will take the glory only one way to find out, and now without any more foreplay Spyro the flame hammer and Nightstream the blackhurricane enter for your match" Arrow announced as the crowd roared with excitement as the two dragons walked out heads held up high and proud as Cynder and Slipstream cheered for them, "now shake" ordered Ignitus and the two dragons shook with a light headbutt and they then bowed to their teachers, Ignitus raised a paw as he backed up a ways and yelled as he bought his paw down, "BEGIN" and Nightstream jumped to avoid Spyro fireball volley as Nightstream retaileated with several wind bullets at Spyro who dodged them and comet dove at Nightstream who did the same as the collide creating a huge explosion and wind shockwave and they were off bitting, clawing, punching, clashing with tail blades, and headbutting as they fought with all their might evenly matched in power and physical strength. The fight went on for hours and was still going as Ember headed for the guardians balcony to speak with Cynder to tell her the results of her test when shockwave struck alomst knocking her off her feet as she reached the balcony, "halt only the guardians and their apprentices past this point" and cheetah honor guard said blocking her path with a spear, "I have beussness with Ice Apprentice Cynder I'm her doctor and She tol me to find her to tell her the results of a test she took with me this moring" she explained to the guard, "ah yes she told me to expect you Ember my apologise" he said as he remove the spear as another shockwave struck right in front of the balcony making Ember fall over onto the guard, "sorry didn't mean to do that," she said as she got up and went onto the balcony and walked up to Cynder tapping her on the shoulder whispering in her ear the results of her gravid test making her eyes shot wide and her jaw drop as a maissive explosion shook the entire collissium that sent Nightstream crashing into the ground very hard as Spyro crashes on top of him in another explosion from a comet dash, and the dust cleared Spyro had his tail blade to Nightstream's throat making Cynder jump for joy as Slipstream's head smacks into the railing cause he just lost a bet with Cynder, "SPYRO IS THE WINNER OF THE ELEMENT CUP!" Ignitus yells and the crowd cheers wildly and Arrow quiets the crowd by raising his wings but before he could say anything Cynder shouted, "SPYRO YOUR A FATHER" making him grin like never before and to hell with tournement all he cared about was his mate and the family they had started together and right now life was good.
