Chapter 3
Personal log: Shadow
After the gruesome fight, we built the new city of Warfang here on Earth. Its been three years now, my body still looks like a dragon. Spyros attitude has begun changing towards me, and this war continuing nonstop. The humans don't seem to pleased either. They lost a lot of good men including their stronghold. Guess they've got the right to be angry at us: umm... I mean the dragons. After the fight with those nightmarish demons, my brain hasn't been working properly. The memory of past dragons is flowing through my brain and I'm beginning to act like one of then.
I've even said that they're my own kind.
End log.
The demons attacked a resistance base three weeks later. Half of San Francisco was destroyed along with seventy five percent of the human resistance. It was a disaster arriving Forward Operations Base. Body's lye strewn everywhere and none were of the enemy. The dead appeared burned, scratched and chewed. Hell, it looked like a dragon had done this. A thought crossed my mind. 'Phoenix is here.' A note sat upon a nearly destroyed wooden desk.
'Welcome to the fight you pathetic half breed. Yes I have returned, and Cynder is my prisoner. Let's see,  if you can stop me within the next fourth eight hours, Cynder and the population of this city will live. But hurry quick, my genocidal onslaught has begun.
Phoenix'
I cursed aloud. "That god damn bastard! I'm gunna kill him!" My youngest sister ran up, speaking worriedly. "What's wrong, hero?"
"Phoenix is threatening to kill Cynder and the civilian population of this city." Agrivation sounding clear in my voice. I must save her"
Kathryn was clearly annoyed. "She's only one dragon. Let her go, you'll save thousands of lives."
"No! That one dragon means a lot to me. Even more than the human race. Both of us would be dead without each other."
Light pink wings flared open, the dark purple dragon rose into the sky. Phoenix appeared before me as I thought of Cynder. The bulky black dragon forced me to the ground with sharp talons. Blood dripped from the new wounds. My closest ally lay beside me and my vision and hearing not working? However, I could smell my attacker.
A blast of fire spewed from my mouth in attempt to disorient him. Slowly vision returned. The earth flail caught the dragon in the chin. Cynder spoke quietly as hearing returned. "Nice job Shadow. We should get out of here before ugly wakes up. Return to Warfang with me. Our allies will not stand a chance against those demon things."
For the first time, I looked at my surroundings. The ground was completely burned to crisp and ash and debris was everywhere. This must have been the first place that was put under Phoenix's siege. The center of the city. Back at base, the dragons had been overrun. Fortunately it was only the apes.
My army was held up in the second courtyard. Malefore had returned. The apes were from his first army. 'Just my luck. That jackass of a dark lord wants me dead.'
Unwillingly, I became a human. The crash landing was quite painful. Two apes stood before me. I smashed their skulls only to be sent on a rescue mission. Bad thing was, those bad smelling monkeys were using human guns. Things just got worse. The young boy I rescued was called Ryan. A though crossed my shell shocked brain. 'We're at war and I have to protect some boy.
A new hostile then challenged me. An elite enemy swung a sword that struck my unarmored chest. The blood splattered in his helmet, giving me an advantage. I was pissed. Without thinking, I used the earth pound in my dragon form. I lunged, his sword cutting into both of my wings. My scream echoed, talons slashing for his neck. He was dead.
Kathryn got the nerve to speak to me again. "I don't get it. The demons are killing us and then they retreated with the apes. Why?"
Calmly I responded. "Not retreated, but regrouped. Most likely planning a massive assault at who the hell knows were. I can't keep this fight going forever. We must strike them in the heart of their land to do major damage. Cynder, Spyro, Kathryn, Ember and Flame... come with me.
Here is chapter 3
