Epilogue
New Harmony High School- 6:39 PM
"Ladies and Gentlemen, New Harmony High School graduating class of 2014!" The principle said, the graduating class erupting in a roar of confetti, silly string, and even an inflatable whale. It had been about a month since Spyro and the others left, me and Amber were officially dating, and as you can guess we graduated high school, my teenage years were officially behind me and I was plunging head first into adulthood.
Mom rushed to congratulate me. "Oh my baby, I'm so proud of you." She told me as she hugged me so tight I half expected my back to snap in half. "It took allot of work but I did it!" I said truly proud of myself, I had survived high school and saved the world to boot, not bad for a 17 year old skate rat from a small town. "I wish your father could be here to see this." Mom said. "Me too, come on, let's go home." I said as we walked to the car.
The drive home was pretty typical, we talked about my future plans, college, whatever, we arrived home and I instantly went to my room to unwind. I saw my copy of "The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning" on the bed, I had debating selling it off but decided against it as sort of a keep sake to remind me of my little adventure. I decided to mess around with it again, just for old times sake.
However when I started the game, it didn't go to the usual title screen, instead it instantly cut to inside the dragon temple, I'm pretty sure I've seen this kind of thing happen in 90% of gaming CreepyPastas. Suddenly Spyro came onscreen out of nowhere scaring the crap out of me. As if he could see this he laughed. "Did I surprise you?" He asked. "Kinda..." I said a bit freaked out. "I was wondering when you'd try the game again, don't worry I'll try to give you better warning next time." Spyro said, okay how the hell was he doing this? I don't know, a wizard did it! Let's go with that. "So how is everyone?" Spyro asked. I of course was still weirded out that Spyro was talking to me via PlayStation 2 but after I had met the little guy nothing made much sense anymore. "Everyone's fine, I just graduated high school." I told him. "Really? Congrats! Everything's good here too, me and Ignitus made up, I finally got the fangirls off my back now that everyone knows me and Cynder are together, I still miss you guys though." Spyro said. "Yeah, I have to admit I miss having you guys around too." I told him.
"But hey, at least we can still talk right?" Spyro asked. "Yeah... is this going to be a thing? Do I have to worry about you invading my game of Tony Hawk's Underground too?" I asked. Spyro laughed. "No, I can only contact you through one's tied to my world. Ignitus taught me how to do this, he thought it would be good for us to be able to check up with each other." Spyro explained. "Oh and Dylan..." Spyro began. "Yeah?" I asked.
"I never got the chance to thank you, for being a good friend to me while I was there, it was frightening being in a world I knew nothing about, and having someone to help me through it helped me allot." Spyro said. "No problem man." I told him.
Spyro signed off and the game went on as normal... I had a feeling that this particular game was gonna stay with me for a loooooong time...
The End.
A/N- And that's all folks! I'd like to thank everyone that read this little story of mine, I'm glad that people enjoyed what I wrote and some even took the time to review it. I really appreciate that (yes I do read every single review I get, it's not weird!)
What will I do next? You may ask, I have no clue... I want to write more Spyro based nonsense but I need to iron out an idea first... I doubt I'm gonna give this one a sequel though, I think I wrapped this one up pretty neatly with a nice little bow.
And as an added bonus (Or maybe because I like sharing this stuff ) It's time for...
USELESS TRIVIA ABOUT MY STUPID STORY! *Applause*
Dylan- Dylan has been my go-to OC since about 2004 when I first made him on Tony Hawk's Underground 2. (Sadly I had lost the file to a faulty Memory Card :( ) This is also why he's a skateboarder.
In fact if you've seen my Deviant Art fics, you may recognize him from Spider-Man Next, where he was the title character, no it's not cannon with this story, that would be weird.
Dylan's last name is derived from Foutly, the last name of the title character from As Told By Ginger (Why I have no idea since I remember hating that show with a passion)
His current design (as seen on the cover of this fanfic) was actually done by my younger brother Biohazardous. The words "Hail" on his sleeves and the crowned skull are apparently references to the song "Hail to the King" by Avenged Sevenfold (At least that's what he told me.)
Zack- Zack was also created on a skateboarding video game, Skate 3, however I sort of ushered him away from being a skater over time.
Zack is a fairly recent creation of mine so he hasn't been in much yet.
Amber- Amber also appeared in Spider-Man next as Dylan's tech girl.
Amber's shirt I described in this story is actually available in Skate 3, it's called "Sport" and is unlocked by completing the Lakai demo mission.
I gave Amber purple hair so she would stand out more.
The fact that Amber's hair is purple like Spyro is purely coincidental. Since she was actually made as a Digimon OC (He partner was Renamon in case you're curious. )
Erin- Erin was also created on Skate 3, she didn't develop her crazy off the walls personality until I had submitted her to a Corpse Party role play, and tweaked her character to make her more memorable, she was slated to be one of the characters who died but the role play never got that far.
New Harmony- This is actually the name of the city in Shaun White's Skateboarding (Yes I play allot of Skateboarding video games. ) The name is all the two cities share in common because I just like the name. There aren't any color stealing business men in this story (as far as you know...)
TLOS: Dawn of The Dragon- Embarrassingly, I haven't played this one yet. I've played through A New Beginning AND the GBA version of The Eternal Night but never got the chance to play DOTD. Most of my knowledge on the events of those games came from stories I read and what I found on the Spyro Wiki. (So if I got anything wrong in regards to the events of that game, yeah that's why.)
Anyway thanks again for sitting through my moronic scribblings I call a story!
In all seriousness though I had allot of fun with this story and I'm glad to see some people had just as much fun reading it. And it felt nice to give our favorite purple dragon some love for once since Activision clearly isn't. (Seriously does Skylanders even count as a Spyro game at this point?)
I will hopefully see you all next story! FOR GREAT JUSTICE!! *Flies away on a rainbow*
