Match 22775 Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot vs. Goro and Sindel

QUEST FOR THE DARK GRIMOIRE

ACT II

PART THREE

 

 

Spyro launched into the air, charging straight at D'Vorah, the vile woman who’d just killed his friend, Magnus.

The insect queen hissed, reacting to his charge with the quickness of an insect with spider-like limbs protruding from her back stabbing forward to impale the young dragon.

Spyro barely saw the attack coming, and it was only instinct and luck that saved him as his body dropped low, missing her bladed limbs as they swept through the space where his head had been.

Stone shattered behind him as he rolled and came up breathing fire. The stream of flame caught D'Vorah across the chest.

She hissed and recoiled, shielding her face with two of her insect limbs. The fire washed over her body, illuminating the countless insects crawling beneath her skin.

"Got her!" Sparx shouted.

"Not yet." Spyro replied, crouching low and extending his horns.

D'Vorah emerged from the dying fire and smoke, standing tall as the insects emerged. Thousands of bees and wasps poured from cracks in her armor, consuming the flames as they swarmed her body.

"This one has endured worse."

Spyro growled, "Good. Because I'm not finished." He spread his wings and launched skyward. He'd only given her a taste of his fire. Now it was time to launch a true fireball from above.

D'Vorah answered by a macabre twist of her arm, sending her swarm of insects to meet Spyro in the air.

Spyro twisted midair as the cloud of insects exploded upward to meet him. Bees and Beetles the size of his claws smashed against his scales while stingers scraped sparks from his horns.

“I hate bugs!” Sparx shouted, weaving desperately between the swarm.

Spyro snarled and spun through the air, his wings snapping hard as he barrel-rolled through the cloud. Fire burst from his mouth in violent streams, turning hundreds of insects to ash. Burning bodies rained down across the ruined courtyard like embers from a wildfire.

But D'Vorah remained untouched beneath it all. Her strange eyes locked onto him, almost hungry.

Then her back-limbs flexed, then she launched forward. Spyro barely banked away in time. One blade carved across his shoulder scales, sending pain shooting down his side. Another sliced through a nearby pillar instead, cutting clean through stone like wet paper.

Spyro crashed onto the courtyard floor and skidded through rubble. He turned and fired another round of dragonfire, but she wasn’t behind him now.

“Spyro, look out!” Sparx shouted.

The dragon looked up just as the insect warrior dived from above, insects surrounding her. All Spyro could do was throw himself sideways, missing the attack by a hair.

The impact shattered the courtyard where he'd been standing, stone exploding as D'Vorah landed on all six limbs like some nightmare spider. Her claws dug trenches through the stone as insects poured from her body.

"This one will enjoy feasting on your flesh."

“And this one is going to enjoy burning you to a crisp!” Spyro voice reverberated with a draconic growl.

D’Vorah stepped forward toward him, her spindly limbs clicking and flexing at Spyro like a snake, as the young dragon called upon his innate magic. His eyes lit with fire, and coalesced into his mouth, gathering into a powerful fireball.

As he drew breath, Spyro thought of his friends. Magnus was dead. His home was burning. And this thing had the nerve to stand here and mock him.

Purple fire ignited around his jaws.

He unleashed it, the dragonfire struck D'Vorah head-on.

D'Vorah screamed. For the first time all fight, genuine pain entered her voice. The swarm surrounding D'Vorah evaporated instantly. Thousands of insects burned in seconds.

The fire consumed her entire body, as her flesh split apart into burning fragments.

D'Vorah collapsed to one knee, continuing to burn as her body fell away. Smoke curled from her body.

Spyro stood breathing heavily.

"Okay,” Sparx floated beside him. "I think she's dead."

For several seconds D’Vorah didn't move.

Then… the pieces of her body began moving.

Thousands of insects surged, reforming her arms, face, chest. Slowly she rose back to her full height.

"Seriously?" Spyro groaned.

"This one..." D'Vorah hissed through melting lips. "...will not die so easily..."

"Yeah, I've noticed. Gross."

Still reforming, D’Vorah takes a calculated step toward her opponent, but then the swarm screamed. A flash of light tore open inside of her hollow chest.

Spyro saw the same violet-black energy he'd seen all week. It was a portal opening where D’Vorah stood. D'Vorah looked confused, defiant. But the vortex expanded nonetheless, pulling the insect swarm inside a void.

D'Vorah tried holding herself together, but to no avail. In just seconds, she was split apart as a portal the size of an oak tree opened wide.

Spyro blinked. "...Did the universe just kill her?"

"WHOOOOOOOAAAAAA!" Another figure fell through the portal.

A bandicoot lay on the ground, breathing heavily. Spyro wasn’t sure it was even alive until it moaned, then held up one hand in a thumbs up.

"...Okay," Spyro said slowly. "I guess you're alive."

The creature grinned.

Sparx floated closer, circling the newcomer.

"What is it?"

"I have absolutely no idea."

The creature suddenly jumped to its feet and began dusting itself off. It checked its arms. Its legs. Its tail.

Then it pointed at itself.

"Crash!"

Spyro blinked.

"Uh... hi, Crash."

Crash nodded enthusiastically.

Then pointed at Spyro.

"Woah?"

"Spyro."

Crash gave an approving thumbs up.

"Well, that was easier than talking to Moneybags."

Then a deep rumble echoed from within the tear, causing the two to pause. A massive armored boot emerged.

It was a monster of a man. A tower of muscles with four arms. The creature rolled his shoulders and grinned.

A second figure descended close behind him. Long white hair flowed behind her. Her eyes glowed with cruel confidence and her feet never touched the ground.

Crash immediately stopped smiling. Spyro lowered himself into a defensive stance.

"What pathetic realm is this?" Goro growled as he surveyed the battlefield.

"Uh-oh." Crash took a few steps back, but not fast enough. Goro noticed him, and crashed his boot into his chest.

The bandicoot fell back, rolling until he was beside Spyro.

“Pathetic,” Goro said.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Spyro shouted, standing in front of Crash to protect him.

“Make us,” the floating woman, Sindel, mocked. The scary pair stood tall, ready to claim this realm for themselves.

Spyro wasn’t about to let that happen. The orange bandicoot stood and flanked Spyro, having his back in this fight.

I would say they probably have about 90% of their health and have all of their power-ups. I didn't mention it in the set-up, but Aku-Aku is with Crash, so that helps even the odds a little.

Continuing to enjoy this crossover, can't wait to see who pops up next. I'm actually going to go with the Mortal Kombat duo this time around.
