Chapter 1
Sparx and I walked through the damp streets of Hurricos. I remembered when I had saved all of the Electrolls from the Gear Grinders and their irksome wind-up robots. Dragons and other Electrolls now roamed the streets. I said hello to everybody that I remembered. It was nice to come back and come across old friends. Sparx found another dragonfly named Beamzor, and they had races. I bought some food for a few gems, and it tasted pretty good if you fried it. I bought some butterflies for Sparx and Beamzor, which they gobbled happily. All of a sudden, thunder cracked, and a lightning bolt appeared in the sky. It started to rain. Hard. Sparx said goodbye to Beamzor, who flew back to her owner, Sarah. Then we went into the portal the led us back to the peaceful scenery of Summer Forest. Elora greeted us when we got there. "Hi Spyro," she said. "That sure looked like a bad storm," I said. "Storm? There's a storm in Hurricos?" said Elora worriedly. "Yep. And a big one too," I said. "Oh no.storms there are really serious." said Elora. She shivered, said goodbye, and walked through the portal to Sunny Beach. It seemed like she wanted to get the storm out of her mind by going somewhere exactly the opposite. She should've gone to Dragon Shores. But then again, the portal was in Winter Tundra, and it was cold and windy. I jumped into the warp vortex that would carry me to the Forgotten Worlds; Hunter would be at one of the skateparks. And I knew where his favorite one was: Enchanted Towers. * * * You know that feeling you get when you jump into a warp vortex? How it makes you dizzy, even when you're not spinning? Well, if you haven't, then I envy you. I hate warp vortexes, even if they are to some of my favorite places. Anyway, Hunter was at the skatepark with Bianca. Let's just say that she's not one of the world's best skateboarders. Hunter was trying to teach her how to do the Triple Tower, and Bianca had a look of pure horror on her face. "What if I fall? Those platforms are about fifty feet off the ground!" said Bianca. It seemed that she would've wanted badly to start on something smaller. "C'mon, Bianca, what's the worst that could happen?" said Hunter soothingly. I shook my head and started to ride. I pulled a Twisted Lemon with a Side Roll. Then I saw something strange. Sammy and a group of other seals were riding on squids in the halfpipe. I moved in closer. "Hey Spyro! Squidboarding! Do you like it?" said Sammy. "Yeah," I said, forcing back a laugh. "C'mon, you can skate with me!" he said. I positioned the tail of my board on the side of the pipe and dropped in. Sammy pulled off an amazing Dr. Shemp, which is a trick where you do four left rolls. Hunter was still struggling just to get Bianca to stand on the board. She finally used a spell that bound her feet to the board. I thought that she would've magically gotten herself out of the skatepark, but she didn't want to leave Hunter. I smiled. She hadn't changed a bit. She was still the kindhearted person that I remembered from a year ago. I walked up to Hunter, who noticed me almost immediately. "Hey Spyro! What's up?" said Hunter. Bianca smiled at me. "Well, there's a big storm in Hurricos," I said. "That's never good. The last time there was a storm there." Hunter shuddered. Hunter ushered the thought out of his mind. "Oh yeah! I almost forgot. Some guys found a hidden portal to a place called Inferno City. Great skatepark, but it's sweltering hot. They need to get a giant air conditioner or something," said Hunter. Hunter and his imagination were the same too. He had always been prone to thinking up ideas that could never work. "Well, let's go see it," I said. "Okay. I'll bring my board," said Hunter. Bianca look relieved, even if she could only escape skateboarding for a short period of time. "Where's the portal?" I asked. "It's in Midnight Mountain, just outside of Dino Mines," said Hunter. "Well then, let's go," said Bianca contentedly. We all walked out of the skatepark, and then out of Enchanted Towers.
