Screw the intro life's too short.

Tales From Before Insurrection

The three robed figures dashed forward,
Hunter: *dramaticly* The Nazgul have come!
arms in front of their faces, shielding their eyes from the rain. One, a blue dragon with orange underbelly and wing webbing and dark blue horns and spikes, clutched something to her chest. She slowed down and looked back at Middle Realms Castle. The figure closest to her, also a blue dragon but with yellow underbelly and wing webbing, stopped and grabbing her arm, pulled her along. "Come on Sara, we have to go before he
Red: Hmm, I wonder who this 'he' is.
finds out."
"I'm not happy about this Larcan. I don't want my child to grow up without a father."
"Better no father than him. The only thing Red cares about is himself.
Red: And my beloved Cheerios.
Hunter: He sure is passionate about his Cheerios.
Sgt Byrd: He hates me because I eat "Tesco multigrain hoops." Observe. *pokes Red*
Red: *hisses* Don't touch me heathen!
To him, your child is someone to carry on his rule. If you both stay, he'll find a way to drive a wedge between you."
The third figure finally spoke. "Stop talking and move it. I only agreed to show you the way."
"What, you won't fight him?"
"No. When he comes, I'm gone. Red doesn't know I'm a part of this egg-kidnapping charade and it's going to stay that way."
"But you've fought him before."
"I have a wife and unhatched egg myself. If he catches me, he won't hesitate to kill me, even without the other three's permission."
"But you're their food taster-"
Spyro: Yes, the most indespensible person in the Castle, especially as his job is check food for poison. . . by eating it.
Sgt Byrd: Yes, because we'd hate it if somone slipped poison into Red's popcorn.
Red: *stares at half-filled bucket of popcorn* 0_0 Can't. . .breath. . .
Spyro: Maybe that's because you just tried to gasp with popcorn in your mouth.
"Big deal. There are others who could just as easily take my place." He started to continue walking before turning around suddenly, "Oh, and of course, how could I forget my deformed leg and shredded wings."
Spyro: Sucker.
Larcan looked at the ground.
"Now come on, he's bound to have found out by now."
Hunter: Come on, it's Red. He's probably only just found his nose.
Sevvy (as Red): That's funny, it was here when I was younger.

Red put his pen down
Sgt Byrd: Put his pen down? It's a wonder he can pick it up, he's only five inches tall.
and rubbed his forehead. There was one thing he hated about being the joint ruler of all the Realms.
Red: Writing all those birthday cards to Gnasty who, because of gnorc years, has seven birthdays a year.
Sgt Byrd: There's no such thing as gnorc years.
Red: WHAT?! The bastard swindled me!
Paperwork. Reviewing proposals and signing them was the bane of all their lives.
Red: I thought Spyro was the bane of all our lives.
Sevvy: Not anymore. Thanks to Power.
Lightning flashed through the sky as he looked out of the window. Movement caught his attention. His eyes narrowed as he made out three robed figures
Hunter (as Red): *dramaticly* The Nazgul have come!
heading in the direction of the gate.
Hunter (as Red): *dramaticly* The Nazgul have left!
Red: Stop saying that.
"Who would leave the Castle in the middle of a storm?" the red dragon wondered aloud. They must really want to leave, he mused.
Sgt Byrd: I'll say.
Then one of the figure's hoods blew off
Sevvy: Hmm, that was conveniant.
and his eyes widened in recognition. "Sara?"
Hunter (as Red): You're a Nazgul?
Red frowned in suspicion and hurried from his Study.

"Hurry up. We're almost at the gate. From there, you're on your own."
"Thank you, Spyro," said Larcan.
Spyro: What, that was me? Thanks Power!
Sevvy: Huh? You only just noticed? Geez, you're slow. Look up there at the line "You've fought him, ie Red, before." Work it out.
His sister shook the rain from her face and pulled her hood forward. They were slammed from behind.
Sgt Byrd: *to Sevvy* Not a word.
All went rolling. Spyro recovered quickly, saw Red begin to circle around and slipped into the shadows, knowing full well the two dragons fates and bitterly hating not being able to do anything about it.
Larcan was the first of the two to recover. He scrambled to his feet and looked around for their assailant. Sara was on her feet in time to see Red land. To say that he did not look happy was a bit of an understatement. "Where do you think you're going?"
Her brother spoke up. "We're going home." Realising the egg had been knocked from her grasp,
Sgt Byrd: Bit slow on the uptake isn't she?
Sara searched the ground for it, trying not to draw attention to herself.
"What have you done with it?"
Larcan gave him an innocent look. "Taken what, my Lord?"
Hunter: Eh? What's he talking about? Taken? Where did that come from. Red just asked you  "What have you done with it," not "Where have you taken it?" idiot.
"You know very well what I'm talking about."
Sgt Byrd: Actually it would appear that he doesn't.
Taking them both by surprise, Sara suddenly lept forward. Larcan took the opportunity while Red's guard was lowered and charged him. Unfortunately, he'd underestimated the old dragon's
Red: There she goes again. Calling me old.
Spyro: Well when did she last call you old?
Red: In the last fanfiction.
Sevvy: Gods above, you can hold a grudge can't you.
strength and was knocked back.
Red: Too right!
He leapt into the air, confidant that his flying skills would more than a match for the ex-Elder and paused briefly to check that Red was following him.
Sara picked up the egg and held it close. The exposure to the cold had lowered its temperature a little. She inhaled to stoke her internal fire and breathed out a controlled, measured breath that, instead of spitting fire, expelled heated air.
Hunter: What a colossal waste of time. Couldn't she have just said, "She exhaled, breathing out heated air." and spared us a few seconds of our lives. I want them back now. Are you going to give me them? Are you?
The blue dragon pulled her sodden cloak tighter around her and glanced up into the sky. She squinted as a flash of lightning illuminated the figure of a dragon swooping down to her.
Spyro: Wha-? How did she know he was coming?
Sevvy: Psychic.
The flash had been too brief, and the dragon too far away for her to make out who it was.
Sgt Byrd: So she knew he was coming, but she didn't know who?
Red: I would've ran anyway.
Hunter: HAH! He just admitted it. He'd've ran!
All: *laugh*
Red: . . . -_-;
Hunter: What if it had been Batman?
All: WHAT???
Hunter: Well he kind of looks like a dragon.(As Batman) I am Batman, here to save you from the evil Joker!
Red: I'm not the Joker.
Hunter: Then who are you?
Red: Uh. . . Well who's Batman's greatest enemy?
Spyro: I don't know, The Penguin?
Sgt Byrd: I'm The Penguin.
Sevvy: Well if you're looking for the opposite of Batman, then it's Man-Bat.
Sgt Byrd: Huh?
Sevvy: You know, Man-Bat. I think every superhero has one, Man-Bat, Man-Spider.
Spyro: Man-Super.
Sevvy: O.k, maybe not all superheros have one.
Hunter: The Lantern Green, The Surfer Silver.
Sevvy: You're just being an idiot now.
Spyro: Actually both of them are the same. Man-Bat and Man-Spider are the mutated versions of the hero.
Hunter: So who is Spider-Man's greatest enemy?
Spyro: Venom.
Sevvy: No, they worked together. It's between the Green Goblin and Doc Ock.
Red: . . . What have I done?
Giga (over com): *annoyed* Yo! Guys!
Sevvy: Ah yes, the MST.
Another flash of lightning revealled him to be the dragon she was not hoping for.
Hunter: Or to save time, simply "
Spyro: What, no action? I feel robbed!
Red landed and almost as if he had known it was coming, straightened up in time for a fork of lightning to
Spyro: *hopefully* Fry him where he stood.
flash dramaticly behind him, briefly rendering his yellow wing webbing
Spyro: Ash.
semi-transparent.
Sevvy: *imagines the scene* WHAAAA!! Scary!!
"Red," her eyes travelled to the object he now clutched in his right hand.
Sevvy: 0_0??
Spyro: You're a freak, you know that?
Sevvy: *blunt* Yes. Yes I do.
It was a spire from one of the towers.
Red: Let me get this straight. I've just ripped off the roof of one of the towers of my Castle.
Spyro: Uh, I think that was supposed to be just the metal spike at the top.
There was blood on it. And that meant one thing;
Sevvy: Red was gay.
All: *scream*
Sgt Byrd: *deathly pale* You make me sick!
Larcan was dead.
"Tell me honestly, where you forced into this or not?"
She dropped her gaze.
Hunter: What's that supposed to mean? The floor made her do it?
He stepped up to her and tilted her head up with his left hand. "It doesn't matter."
Sara wrapped her free arm around his neck and leaned into him. "S-sorry Red. I'm sorry."
"As am I."
Her eyes widened in horror and a strangled sound escaped her throat. The blue dragon stared down at the metal rod now sticking out of her stomach. Red calmly watched her fall to the ground at his feet than breathe her last.
Sevvy: You bastard!
Red: Wha-? This isn't me. I wouldn't kill someone.
Spyro: What are you talking about? You tried to kill me. Twice!
Red: Ah, but that was attempted murder, completely different.
Sgt Byrd: *flicking through a book of law* Damn, he's right as well.
Spyro: What about all the gnorcs you  ruthlessly murdered?
Red: O.K. I admit it I'm a bad Dragon!
With equal calmness, he pried the egg out of Sara's still-warm arms and held it close to his chest. It was getting dangerously cool, but there was still time. He murmered softly, "No-one can take you away from me now."
Sevvy: *Gollum* My own, my love. . . my preciousssss.
Spyro: Whoa, you're getting a little too protective there, Red.
Then with an almost regretful look at Sara's corpse,
Spyro: Sympathy indeed.
Red: That's not me either.
Hunter: So let's get this straight. You say wouldn't kill someone, yet you wouldn't regret it if you did.
Red: *objects* She was taking my precious little angel.
All: 0_0? *move away*
Red: No I didn't mean- d'oh!
he spread his wide wings and flew
Spyro: Into a demonic hell portal and was never seen again.
up to the open window of his Study.

Power: Yes, Red. Go. Kill the Sue! Gah! I tried to not to make Sara a Sue, but then to me, every character aside from the canon characters are Sues/Stus.
Oh yeah, I SUCK at action scenes,
Spyro: Too right, this one was so bad my it's been erased from my memory.
so I cleverly found away around it. By simply implying what happened and leaving it to the readers imagination. Clever huh? . . . Nah, just plain lazy. Sorry guys.
Important notes:
1) Red did NOT love Sara.
Red: I love nothing but my Cheerios!
One of the old laws of Ruling, states that you can't have an illegitimate child as heir. The reason why he married her. 2) Sara does/did love Red. She thought she could change him, was foolish to think so and she paid for that mistake with her life. Part of the reason she agreed to egg-nap then unhatched [and unamed] Ruby was in the sad hope that Red would want her back and his feelings towards her would change. 4) Whether Sara was forced into it or not, it really doesn't matter. It opens up the opportunity of a next time. Thus, she has to go.
Two words regarding Red at the end there. They are. . . my preciousssssss.
Sevvy: Whoo. I really am in tune with my creator.
