Skylanders Academy the Marked One
Chapter 1
Deep in the Cadaverous crypts a strange hooded figure sat upon a black throne. His face was concealed beneath a hood. Around him skeletons bowed before him. These skeletons were his slaves. He slowly lifted an arm the skeletons recoiled in fear. From under the hood a deep raspy voice could be heard.
"KAI" he shouted.
A Drow Elf came running around the corner and quickly bowed before the mysterious figure.
"Yes Master" said Kai.
"I am sending you on a mission" said the man.
"Yes Master, anything for you" replied Kai.
"I want you to take the skeletons and attack the Skylander Academy and give them this message" said the man. He stretched his hand out towards Kai in his hand was a small scroll.
"yes sir, I won't fail you" said Kai. He took the scroll and quickly made his leave. Kai knew better than to ask questions. He made haste to prepare some soldiers for an attack.
At the Academy
Stealth Elf opened her eyes the sun was shining bright, its powerful rays piercing through her curtains. She sat up on her bed and rubbed her eyes. She let out a huge yawn and swung her feet around off her bed. She stood up and walked towards the curtains. She pulled the curtains apart and looked towards the Sky. It had been a month now since Spyro left and every morning she watched the sky's hoping to see him flying back to the Academy. Whatever he left to do she had to believe he would return to her one day.
Stealth Elf left to get dressed. Meanwhile, Eruptor was already downstairs preparing some breakfast, today it was scrambled eggs. Just as he was finishing putting the eggs onto plates, Stealth Elf teleported to the bottom of the stairs.
"smells delicious Eruptor" said Stealth Elf.
"I hope you enjoy it" said Eruptor while placing the food on the table. Stealth Elf sat down and started to eat the eggs.
"did you see him today" said Eruptor. He knew about Stealth Elf watching the skies. He checked on her one morning when she didn't come down for breakfast and found her looking out her window.
"No nothing can't believe he's been gone for a month" said Stealth Elf between bites of food.
"I know this place feels so empty without him here" said Eruptor. The two continued to eat in silence after a few minutes Jet-Vac and Pop-Fizz came out of their rooms to get some of Eruptor's delicious scrambled eggs. After she had finished Stealth Elf took her plate to the sink and rinsed it. She finished that and teleported back to her room, she picked up her blades and teleported back to the kitchen.
"I'm going to go do some training" said Stealth Elf.
"Okay have fun Elfy" said Eruptor.
Stealth Elf gave them all a wave and teleported away to the training grounds. She spent a lot of her time here. She wanted to keep herself busy, plus she had to have sharp skills when she eventually gets some cadets to train. Kaossandra was working on bringing some new cadets to the Academy. Just as she was about to start practicing a loud scream rang out. Stealth Elf quickly turned on her heels and sprinted off to the screaming. As she rounded a corner, she saw Hex getting punched to the ground by a Goliath Drow. Kai came out from behind the big guy wielding a sword.
"now we move on this cadet won't stop us" said Kai. Stealth Elf watched them they were followed by a large group of skeletons, there had to be about 40 of them. There was no way she could take them all on. Stealth Elf quickly teleported away and appeared in Kaossandra's office. Kaossandra jumped in her chair.
"Elf you scared me" she said.
"No time master the Academy is under attack rally the others" said Stealth Elf. Kaossandra jumped up from her chair and the two sprinted out to the Academy grounds. Their they could see the group of invaders overpowering the cadets. Kaossandra's voice boomed over the cries of the invaders.
"Skylanders unite the Academy is under attack" screamed Kaossandra. Within a few minutes the Skylanders came running from all directions. The Goliath Drow charged forward and punched Jet-Vac. The force knocked him backwards and sent him rolling on the floor. Stealth Elf teleported in front of him and kicked him the face, the kick barely grazed him, this Drow was tougher than your average Goliath. He swung at Stealth Elf she teleported away just in the nick of time. The Goliath charged towards Pop-fizz only to get tackled from the side. The Goliath quickly rose to his feet and looked at his attacker, it was Kaboom.
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size yeah" said Kaboom. He leapt forward and punched the Goliath in the face. The Drow recoiled in pain as a mark was visible on his cheek. The Goliath grabbed Kaboom and shoved him backwards towards a building. Kaboom slammed into the building and hit his head off the wall. The Goliath landed a powerful right hand the blow knocked Kaboom to the floor. Kaboom recovered quickly and kicked the Goliaths legs out beneath him. Kaboom climbed on top of him and punched him in the face again. The Goliath kicked him off him. The two powerhouses climbed to their feet and charged at each other. They collided and they tried to push the other back.
Meanwhile Stealth Elf turned her attention to Kai.
"Attack them" ordered Kai. The group of 40 skeletons ran forward and front of him and attacked the Skylanders with their swords and shields. Stealth Elf teleported in and struck two skeletons down with her blades before teleporting away. Jet-Vac came flying in from above and shot at a few skeletons with his gun. The Skeletons raised their shields and blocked his attacks. Stealth Elf teleported and attacked a skeleton just then she was grabbed from behind, she kicked out at the person and made them let her go. However, the blade in her right hand was taken from her. She quickly turned to see Kai with one of her weapons. He quickly jabbed forward with his sword. She repelled his attack with her other blade. She teleported backwards and away from Kai's sword. She was just about to teleport behind him when Kai dropped something on the ground. It was a smoke bomb. Smoke exploded from the device and filled the area. She couldn't see Kai so Stealth Elf played it smart and teleported away from the smoke.
The fight between Kaboom and Goliath was still going on. Kaboom shifted his body and threw the Goliath over his body onto a fountain. The force shattered part of the fountain sending bricks everywhere. Kaboom went to punch him, however the goliath was too quick. He grabbed a brick and swung towards Kaboom. The brick cracked Kaboom's jaw knocking out two teeth. He stumbled back and tried to steady himself. The Goliath leapt up and kicked Kaboom in the gut. Kaboom keeled over trying to catch his breath. The Goliath brought his knee up to Kabooms face. The powerful knee put Kaboom down for the count. The other Skylanders finished off the Skeletons and went towards the Goliath. Suddenly a voice shouted out.
"Damian retreat, we have done our job today". The Goliath turned and sprinted away as soon as he heard that voice. The smoke finally cleared, and Kai was gone. Where he stood was just a scroll. Stealth Elf checked to see if all the bad guys had left. She slowly walked towards the scroll and picked it up off the grass.
"we should give this to Kaossandra" said Stealth Elf. The Skylanders made their way to Kaossandra's office.
"well done you guys defeated the attackers" said Kaossandra.
"yeah they retreated but they left something here" said Stealth Elf. She stepped forward and put the scroll on Kaossandra's desk. She picked up the scroll and unfolded it. The scroll's message was short.
The Marked One Has Returned the Darkness Will Rise
Underneath the writing was a symbol. It looked like a snake. When she saw the symbol Kaossandra's eyes grew wide in shock.
"not possible" said Kaossandra.
"what is it" said Stealth Elf.
"Skylanders, something is coming, I need to tell you a story, we must take this deadly seriously, the fate of the Skylands rests on us once again" said Kaossandra.
