i guess that kinda makes sense and you dont want to battle your favorite dragon

But in my view Cynder should not be on your side in the end, she turns on you, and you have no choice but to battle her.

Superspyrofan i kinda agree with you i mean you wont have the back up with cynder gone in my opinion she is the best fighter and spyro needs one so i think cynder should stay nice!

She still has an attitude which is really fiesty, also have u realsied that it's a one sided relationship? When you switch characters they sometimes speak and spyro's always dead cocky like: "Move it Cynder!" Or, "Watch and Learn" And he shows no sings that he loves Cynder in the game but Cynder loves him so, I don't get that. :L

I agree with the majority of you.
Having her stay evil would make for a better story.

@ PurpleEye: I'm not trying to blame any body, you're just not reading my message properly. It was only a suggestion, calm down. No need to get all personal about it.

Your not getting my point!

Oh-well

(I have a feeling this is going to turn into a fight so I am going to say no more!)
