Description
The Sting of the Electric King

The Three friends left the prison building to continue their search for, Ignitus. Adir was still very upset discovering that his family was still somehow kept alive all this time and apparently now as it seemed they were gone. What was once a glimmer of hope in him faded dramatically as it appeared on his face filled with despair.

They made it back up to the tower from where they left off before as, Spyro, used a fire blast to blow the door open. He went inside with, Sparx; following only to see someone wasn’t with him. He looked back to see, Adir, looking back at the prison building.

“Adir…” Spyro came up to him with great concern. “I understand what you’re feeling.”

Adir looked at, Spyro, with a mix of anger and sadness. “I should have been here, Spyro.
I should have known somehow they were alive. But I failed them. I…I…” Adir was on the verge of collapsing again even though he was enraged at, Cynder, and needed to find, Ignitus, and stop the black dragon the reality of his family’s demise was still keeping him at bay.

Spyro nuzzled, Adir’s, side. “I know but there was no way you could have known, neither of us either. But we still have to find, Ignitus. If we don’t then, Cynder will have what she needs to open that portal and we can’t let that happen.”

Adir sighed reaching inside his pocket to feel his sister’s necklace. At times of hardship before he and his family were taken his sister would comfort him. Always she was there for him when it was hard and things looked bleak. Even after his father’s death she still was strong and brave and helped him through.

“I wish we could have saved your family, Adir. But if we don’t continue on then they would have lost their lives for nothing. I don’t want that to be.” Spyro said looking straight into, Adir’s, eyes meaning every word.

Sparx flew up next to them. “Look I’m very sorry too. But I gotta agree with, Spyro. You don’t want, Cynder, to get away with what she did do you?”

The Young Samurai looked at, Spyro; truly feeling without any doubt that he was family since the day they met. Here was trying to comfort him and telling him they have to continue despite the loss and if he doesn’t rise they all will fall and even, Sparx, despite their indifferences at times is saying the same showing how much he has been family to him as well.

Adir scrunched his eyes into a serious look. They were right! They have to stop, Cynder, save Ignitus, avenge his family and prevent anyone else from having to suffer what he went through. “Your right, guys!”

He put his arms on both the dragon and dragonfly. “Thank you…for everything. Come on! As I said before we got a friend to save and score to settle!” Adir drew out his sword and charged into the building as Spyro followed.

“Now that’s more like it would have hated to see, Spyro, do all the fighting.” Sparx muttered as he followed his friends.

The Group stood on a platform inside that began to rise once they stepped on a dark crystal in the center of it. Some apes jumped onto the rising platform from nearby flying Dreadwings but easily were taken care off as the platform rose above the dark storm clouds and a door opened when the platform stopped.

Spyro and his friends ventured inside where they encountered a new type of enemy. They watched as electricity shot from the walls inside into floor and crystal like ball formed. The Crystal ball almost resembled that of an eye as tendrils of electricity emerged from the ball and went on the attack.

Spyro and Adir dodged their new foe’s array of swiping of its cackling tendrils and its bolts of electricity being shot by its tendrils. Despite their new foes quick attacks and multiple tendrils giving it an advantage over only one of them, Spyro flew up when it stood on all its tendrils to avoid any attack by, Adir, and prepared to fire down at him but, Spyro, managed knock the crystal ball sending it falling to the floor where, Adir, thrusted his sword right through the eye of the creature piercing right through the crystal within causing the ball to shatter.

The Gang made their way across the tower fighting through more apes as they came out to the other side to an array of smaller towers in the distance.

“Still don’t like it.” Sparx muttered.

“Still doesn’t matter, Ignitus, needs us.” Spyro argued.

“I’m not complaining.” Sparx retorted. “I’m just saying it would be easier if she was smaller…a lot smaller.”

Adir shook his head. “As, Spyro, said back in Tall Plains. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy.”

Sparx sighed. “Great now I got two wisdom spouting brothers now.”
Adir just smiled at that along with, Spyro as they jumped to one tower to the next. They handed more apes guarding along the towers with more Dreadwings patrolling the skies. Spyro handled the Dreadwings as Adir kept the apes busy as they made their way to final tower which had a similar platform with a crystal in the center.

The Platform took them back down to the ground level of fortress. They had to battle more of the crystal ball enemies that, Adir, decided to call them Conduits as how they formed from the walls and acted just like security systems from his home back in the realm of earth.

Once they made it out of the building they continued through more trails of the crystal forests around them. The Apes were becoming more fierce and relentless as they were desperate to keep the three friends from finding, Ignitus.

Adir was equally fighting back through the many waves of apes determined to make it through. The Thought of family plagued his mind thinking about how he failed them. He was not going to let it all happen again with the ones he has left. Not preparing to let any of them down he pushed through the waves as, Spyro, gladly stood by his side fighting against the manner of foes that stood between them and their quarry.

They all got surrounded by a large force of apes at one point in a large clearing that had two buildings with conduit crystal balls rotating on top of them with a beam of light shining down on the ground like a search light.

Spyro and Adir did their best to hold the apes off but there were a good number of medium sized apes along with a couple larger ones bearing down upon them. Adir with his sword locked with another apes sword was knocked hard in the side sending him flying back right through light from the nearby conduit tower. He hit the side of the crystal only to see a bolt of electricity come from the conduit tower and luckily since he was knocked through it so fast it didn’t hit him.

This gave, Adir, an idea on how they could handle these many apes. With the Conduit towers only reacting when someone enters that beam of light this could give them an advantage here.

Spyro flew up to attack an ape but was grabbed by his tail and thrown into the large crystal next to, Adir.

“This is not going well at all.” Spyro winced.

“Don’t worry.” Adir pulled, Spyro, back on his feet. “I got an idea. Try and either lead them into those beams of light.” Adir pointing at the circle of light that was being guided by the nearby conduit towers. “That will give them quite a shock.”

Spyro nodded as they both charged back into the battle. Adir sheathed his sword and used a fire ball to blow right into a group of the apes causing some to scatter and an unfortunate sum to fall into the paths of the wandering conduit lights causing them to rain a volley of bolts of lightning killing any ape in the paths in an instant.

Spyro used his earth tornado’s send many of the apes flying in all directions with some coming into the conduit paths and getting killed by their own defenses. With many number apes dead with only one large and few medium size left Spyro and Adir managed to destroy them with various physical and elemental attacks.

Once the battle was over they all took a moment to rest for using so much of their element powers like that exhausted them. Spyro looked at, Adir, with a smile. “Good plan on using their own defenses against them, Adir.” He complimented.

Adir chuckled. “So glad I didn’t get zapped when I was knocked through them the first time then I wouldn’t have noticed what to do.” He replied modestly.

“Yeah old, Andy, a smart cookie indeed.” Sparx chuckled at his own little compliment earning a playful glare from, Adir.

“Andy huh? Never been called that before.” Adir admitted.

“Then I guess I should be calling you that from now on.” Sparx replied.

Adir shook his head. “Don’t even think about, lantern.” Adir warned with a smile getting an equal glare from, Sparx, at the lantern insult.

Spyro and Adir chuckled for a moment as they stood back up and continued on through the crystal trails. More apes, Dreadwings, electric crystal golems were in their way. Spyro and Adir powered on through them as reached a large barred gate that led to a massive clearing with a large flight of steps leading towards a very large tower that surpassed every building the group went through.

“I can bet my sword that’s where, Ignitus, is being held.” Adir pointed out. Seeing more apes come through the massive doors to the towers ready to defend it from the intruders.
“I think your right, Adir.” Spyro agreed “Let’s go!”

Spyro and Adir charged through the gate and engaged the apes. A Couple of Dreadwings flew down to assist their comrades as more apes emerged from the massive doors.

Adir sliced through the apes with his two swords as, Spyro, handed one large ape and used his ice shards to pierce it multiple times killing it along with the dread wings freezing them with ice breath and then used his earth blast to shatter them into pieces.
The Group made their way up the stairs but Dreadwings dropped more caches of troops behind them at the bottom of the steps.

“Ill handle them, you get inside, Adir, and do what you can.” Spyro said as, Adir, nodded before running back down the stairs to deal with the apes in the rear.

Adir ran up to the entrance of the tower and was just about to reach the doors where they swung open violently hitting, Adir, so hard that he went flying straight through the air and landed right in the middle of the clearing.

Spyro gasped as he saw his friend hit the ground hard killing the last ape and ran to, Adir’s, side.

“Are you okay?!” Spyro gasped as, Adir, groaned in pain but was relatively alright.

“What happened?” Sparx asked as, Adir, sat up.

“That happened!” Adir answered pointing up at the entrance as they looked to see a massive armored figure stomped out of the entrance of the tower with one hand on the doorway showing he was the one that knocked, Adir, back.

It appeared similar to the Ice King back at Dante’s Freezer but its armor was completely black as night and covered in purple lighting. It carried a large shield in one hand and laughed pointing at, Adir.

“Wither it smiles or not id say we wipe that smug grin off its face!” Adir stood up shaking a bit from the knock to the front. “He’s going to get it for that cheap shot!”
“Let’s do it!” Spyro charged at the black figure as it cackled electricity from its mouth towards its empty handed forming a massive axe. He took a swing at, Spyro missing him just barely flying up as; Adir jumped up and tried to strike at the monstrous figure getting deflected by its shield before it knocked him back with it.

The Figure raised its axe up and shot electricity in multiple directions as, Spyro, maneuvered through the air avoiding each blast only for one to hit him causing to jolt from the high voltage blast falling onto the stairs.

“Spyro!” Adir gasped seeing the figure stomp up the downed dragon and raised its axe to finish him. Adir let out a loud battle cry sending a wave of ice shards at the figure causing it to draw its attention toward him. It raised its axe again and sent more streaks of purple lighting but focused on, Adir, this time.

Using some quick thinking, Adir, sent his own streaks of lightning to counter it as he and the figures lighting collided cackling loudly as they both tried to overpower one another. Despite being at an impasse with power the figure stomped towards, Adir, to try and strike at him close range.

Adir stopped his electric streaks when the figure raised its axe high and brought it down fast just as, Adir, created an ice wall to deflect it. He grunted as despite deflecting the blow he still felt a good portion of the impact.

Just then, Spyro flew down and collided with the head of the figure causing it to drop its axe and fall to the ground. Adir took the opportunity as the figure was about to stand back up and sent out waves of ice freezing the most of its body.

It was immobilized for the moment as it tried to break free. Adir looked at, Spyro, and nodded earning one from him as well organizing a quick plan.

Spyro flew in front of figure as Adir quickly stood by him and charged up his fist with the element of earth and Spyro let out a mighty earth blast just as, Adir, threw a massive punch right into figure causing its entire body to shatter into bits as its body armor went in multiple directions as streaks of purple lighting vanished into the clouds above and the helmet of the figure rolled down the stairs and a glowing purple aura inside faded into nothing.

“That was Awesome!” Sparx cheered flying up to his friends waving his arms. “But what was thing?”

Spyro and Adir shook their heads. “Not sure, Sparx.” Adir replied a bit curious himself despite the encounter.

“Perhaps it was some kind of ruler or master of this place?” Spyro said perplexed. “Maybe before, Cynder took over it ruled over and she may have corrupted it? Much like that, Ice King, we encountered.”

Adir and Sparx looked at him and each other for a moment. “You could be right.” Adir pointed out.

“Uh…yeah I’d love to stick around and play guessing games but don’t we have a job to do?” Sparx retorted out with his arms crossed earning a nod from the dragon and human.
“Your right!” Adir agreed putting his sword away.

“Let’s get in the tower and find, Ignitus!” Spyro said as they all ran into the massive tower in hopes they can find their captured friend before it was too late.
