Chapter 12: For better or worse
"Why are two regular dinos here?". "Is that a Spinebreaker?". "Is that a giga". "what the hell is happening?". These questions were all directed towards Spyro, even Bokito, Kai and Mufasa were also shocked as they didn't know we would be hear, only Arachnid, Spyro, Hollowjack and the rest of the mini bosses knew we were there. Finally Spyro really loudly instantly silencing everyone, Spyro than said "Yes I know I broke the law of the council, but it has been broken before in dire circumstances and this is very dire." Flame said "My lord, you could have at least told us beforehand!" To this Spyro replied "I did not feel it necessary with all the commotion and the reports." This time Venator said "My lord, is it really necessary to bring a non boss or non provincial leader here?" Spyro again said "If you let me explain to you my discovery than I swear you will realize why these two are here." Than most surprising of all Mufasa said "Brother, you should have et least told your siblings about this." To this Spyro replied "You three came in late on purpose, Arachnid didn't say anything, that is because I told her, because she came early". "Fair enough" replied Bokito. Than Frost said "You shouldn't have hidden this from us Spyro, I just hope these 2 have good information." Spyro looked at Gigant first and said "Speak Gigant, tell them about your 3 years in the Lost Isles."
Gigant took a deep breath and started talking "I was sent by Lord Spyro to scout out The Lost Isles for 3 years without Carcha noticing as Lord Spyro thought it necessary to be discreate, anyways I was able to live of the land and while I wont go into too much detail, here is what I have learned, during the 1st year, nothing much happened, the only major thing was that the skull crawlers seemed to gather together near the entrance to Tartarus. Than in the second year, the leader of the Indoms came and met the leader of the Skull crawlers, he just one day flew, being carried by four desmodi in their claws. he talked for a while with the skull crawler leader than left, I listened to everything while in a bush. Than the next day 50 Skull crawlers climbed out of the Pit in the dead of night, I don't know how but they managed to climb all the way. Maybe something for Tartarus gave them energy. I don't know, anyways the next night 50 more climbed out, than more, I hoped the Pit guard and Carcha would notice but I guess they didn't go near the Pit entrance.(At this Carcha looked down in shame). Anyways at the end of year 2 only 5% of the total population remained, except for the Skull Crawler leader who had already left. Than in the third year 500 desmodi came and 4 at a time carried out 1 skull crawler, I still don't the Pit guard didn't notice. Anyways at the end of year 3, I decided that the intended time of me staying down there was over and I decided to go to the Pit guard and give them all the information. But on my way I saw 2 Skull crushers and 2 Indoms activating a portal and going somewhere, this was a remote teleportation device guarded by 4 Skull Crawlers, so I managed to kill them, than disabled the portal in such a way that it would only be fit for 1 more teleport, me. I had decided to chase those 4 creatures wherever they had gone to and to deal with them. I stepped through the portal only to find myself in the Center. I located a skull crawler and Indom near the edge, they had killed a poor Gallimimus and were feasting on it. I killed both of them and moved on to the other pair. The other 2 I found in the outskirts of the Center, the purple Indom had already bee killed and nearby I heard struggling, so I went to the noise and found my old buddy Spinebreaker here, I helped him and the rest is history."
Everyone in the room was silent, 3 years, my friend had spent the last 3 years in that hellhole and had survived. Carcha said "You should have told me that you were down there Gigant." To this Gigant replied "And you should have done something about the escaping Skull Crawlers Carcha." Carcha again lowered his head in shame. Groot said "You managed to survive in that hellhole for 3 years!? I don't know about everyone else but to me you are worthy of being here, you have far exceeded most of our expectations." "Indeed" said Frost "You are truly worthy of being a part of our council even if it is for today". Besides me I could see Gigant gaining some pride, he said "Thank you my lords, anything to serve ARK and its people.
Venator said "I think we all agree lord Spyro, that Gigant is worthy of being here." To this everyone agreed. Than Magma said "But what about you? (he said while looking at me) what even are you?" Spyro said "Allow me to introduce to you Spinebreaker the spinebreaker; he was a regular spino until I made him into a hybrid." Bokito said "You know brother, I remember something about discussing with your siblings before doing something of a large scale." Spyro growled and said "And I also remember me trying to tell you, but you ignoring me." Aphophis cleared his throat causing the siblings to stop bickering and looked at me. He said "Well, Spinebreaker; lets here your story."
And so I began telling my story, how I killed the purple Indom to how Gigant saved me from becoming Skull crawler dinner to when we met Lord Spyro and Lord Bokito and our later fight with the 2 Alpha and 1 Apex Indom and me jumping in the lava and transforming to the pillar raising me up and throwing me off itself instead of gently letting me off (Venator and Flame chuckled at that but became quiet after Magma and Prowl gave them the look) to how me and Spyro met Skullcrusher and the skulldoms and how we escaped to finally taking a part of this council. "By the way, it is an honour meeting all of you bosses and provincial leaders." I added in.
After finishing the room was quiet for a moment. Than Lord Kai spoke "So you're a spinebreaker, you look so cool". Venator also said "Yes, those cannons look magnificent, I bet they could destroy any army!" I replied "Thank you lord Kai and Venator, I look forward to hopefully working with you." Venator replied "Yes me too". Flame than said "We all look forward to working with you Spinebreaker, it has been a century since I last saw a spinebreaker." Burn said "You should work on the name; however you look in top conditions".
Than most surprising of all Frost said "I think we can all agree that meeting you is a rare thing and I count myself lucky to even meet a creature of your status. Your ancestors were famous for a reason you know." Everyone nodded their heads and said their approvals.
Spyro than said "Now with the introductions put of the way I have an idea on how to deal with Skullcrusher. Aphophis prepare the corrupted dino army; I will be sending Spinebreaker and 1 other dino to come retrieve them. All four of you titans may leave and prepare anything you can to help with the army. Goodbye for now." All four titans said their goodbyes and left. Before leaving Frost said "Spinebreaker, please visit before leaving, I have something that may help you understand your past and your new body." Than without waiting for my reply he left and the four holograms closed.
Everyone was silent. But I had a question and couldn't keep quiet. I asked "Why me lord Spyro? I mean I am honoured but isn't there someone else more prepared." Spyro said "you need experience Spinebreaker, you are an elite warrior and have to lead a division of my army, this will help you learn on how to control a army. Even if it is 2 million soldiers." I then asked "But won't the corrupted creatures attack us, and won't the infection spread?" Spyro chuckled and said "Aphophys will have put an enchantment on them to make them who are the allies and who are not, the same with the infection, it will only affect the enemy". I then prepared myself for the biggest question "Who is the dino coming with me my lord?" Spyro chuckled and said "While I am sure you wanting me to assign Gigant or Hollowjack to go with you, they are busy, Gigant will be going with me to Fjordur to check out the damage that Skullcrusher has done, secretly of course and Hollowjack and Flame will be going to check out the state of the Crystal Isles. So I am assigning with you with Venator as I am sure Kai and Arachnid being there will be leadership enough, Venator is about your age and can help you best." At this Hollowjack, Gigant, I, Flame and Venator started to argue. Until Carcha roared really loudly and Prowl shouted "enough", and to add the extra effect, Magma started to glow, well the lava in his veins did, indicating that he had gotten angry at us. Prowl said "Listen to Spyro you dimwits or I will make you regret that your mother ever gave birth to you!" That silenced us. I guess an angry and screaming Female Alpha Dienonychus does that to you.
Venator asked "Why me specifically my lord?" Spyro replied "As I said, you two are the same age, as you stopped aging the moment you hit 22 and Spinebreaker is 22 as well. And unlike other reaper kings. You are not affected by sunlight, so you are perfect." Venator agreed and looked me in the eye, he said "Do not worry Spinebreaker; we will have a great time".
For those of you who don't know, Reaper kings are weakened by the sun but some are unaffected and some Reaper kings can also stop aging making them immune to old age. This also mostly applied for bosses, mini bosses and Hybrids.
Spyro said "I know you all have questions but for now, the council meeting has ended and you may all leave, thank you for your time." Every creature said their goodbyes and left for their appropriate duties, Hollowjack came up to me and Gigant and said "Well looks like we are being separated again, good luck to you and here is a tip for both of you, Gigant, don't try to be to heroic as Spyro hates that sort of people, and Spinebreaker you have nothing to worry about, Venator is a chill and friendly guy, just don't talk about his past or family as he is a little sensitive about that stuff. Well goodbye and good luck!" and with that he was off. Gigant looked to me and said "Well I'm off with Spyro, good luck man.
Than Venator came to me and said "Are you ready?" I replied "Yes but I don't see why we cant use a portal." Venator said "its so we can get a lay of the land and find out were the best path to take the army through is, anyways lets go than."
We left the Center via a manual teleporter and landed at the edge of the wild forest around The Center. We than started our 5 day trek to Extinction.
