So much had happened in the past two years. And due to his photographic memory, Spyro could recall everything. From rebuilding the Core of Light to destroying the Iron Fist of Arkus, even heroes like him needed a break! And that's exactly what he and his 47 other Skylander friends were doing: going on a vacation. Nearby, at the helm of the Dread-Yacht, the Mabu Captain Flynn was reading a brochure about the Cloudbreak Islands.
"Witness the eruption of Mount Cloudbreak!" Flynn read from the brochure. "Wonder, Magic, and Adventure await!" In the distance, Spyro could see the mythical volcano. If his knowledge of Skylands of correct, Mt. Cloudbreak erupted once every 100 years, replenishing all the magic in Skylands. "I gotta tell ya, Hugo," Flynn then said to Hugo via the Dread-Yacht's monitor. "This is gonna be awesome!"
"I know, Flynn!" Hugo then said excitedly. According to the monitor's background, he and Cali were back at what once was the Ruins, the Portal Master Citadel. "You are about to witness firsthand something that hasn't been seen in a hundred years!"
"Right?!" Flynn said in ecstasy. "I even bought this nifty Volcano Hat!" As he was saying this, he put the hat on. Spyro looked at it, curiously.
"So, does it make you stronger or something?" He guessed.
"Dunno, but at least it wasn't a REAL volcano hat!" Eruptor chuckled. Flynn ignored the two, as he continued speaking with Hugo.
"Is that Flynn?" Another voice said. "Scoot over!" Flynn instantly knew who it was.
"Well, hello, Cali." He said in his best manly tone. "You miss me already?"
"Actually," The female Mabu said. "I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I-." Suddenly, she was cut off when a gust of wind hit the Dread-Yacht's helm!
"MY HAT!" Flynn yelled as the volcano hat was whisked away. "Sorry, gotta go!" He turned off the monitor and ran after it!
"Get it! Get it!" Spyro yelled. But despite his efforts, the hat was whisked off the ship, and sailed into the endless abyss of sky, lost forever.
"Adios, awesome volcano hat." Flynn whispered sadly, as he went back to the helm. "Safe travels."
"So, what was Cali going to say again?" Tree Rex asked the purple dragon.
"I don't know," Spyro answered. "But I bet it definitely wasn't 'I love you'." Suddenly, a loud screech filled the air!
"Intruder alert!" Jet-Vac warned. "Man your stations!"
"Hit the deck!" Gill yelled as a massive silhouette of a giant bird zoomed over the ship. Some Skylanders got into battle stances as other ran downstairs to get their weapons.
"Woah!" Flynn yelled. "What was that?!"
"Unknown avian species!" Drill Sergeant calculated. "Entering defense mode if target is enemy."
"Whew! Must be hearing things." Flynn said to himself. "For a second there, it sounded like a-." Suddenly, the massive bird landed with a hard THUD on the ship!
"GIANT CHICKEN!" Flynn screamed as the bird screeched in his face. The 48 Skylanders surrounded the bird.
"Aerial team, make sure it doesn't get away!" Spyro ordered.
"Hold on a second!" Stealth Elf gasped. "I think I see something on its back! It think it's….. a person?!"
Cautiously, Spyro looked closer. Stealth Elf was right. On the back of the bird, there was a foxlike woman. She seemed to look native, having no knowledge on technology. She seemed to be confused about the crew surrounding her, but she ignored them and looked at Flynn.
"Are you a Skylander?" She asked.
"What? Well, not exactly." Flynn answered. "But they are!" He pointed to Spyro and the others. The dragon was careful not to let his guard down.
"Alright, miss." Spyro demanded. "Who are you, and why have you sought us out?" The girl leaped off her bird.
"I need your help." She answered. "I'll explain everything later, but right now, we have to get back to-."
Suddenly, after the boom of thunder, her eyes widened.
"Oh no." The fox-girl gasped. "They found us!"
"Who found us?" Tree-Rex asked.
"I'm guessing it's…" Gill said before pointing at…..an entire fleet of unknown ships!
"THOSE GUYS!"
"Flynn! Get us out of here!" Spyro ordered. "Skylanders, defend the Dread-Yacht! And you, miss, are going to stay with us and tell us who 'they' are when this is all over!"
"Well, we WERE supposed to be on vacation," Flynn responded to Spyro. "But I also say don't say no to danger, so-."
Missed enemy fire caused him to race to the cockpit.
"Okay, danger wins! Which way are we going!?" Spyro turned to the native.
"You heard him!" He hissed. "How do we get rid of these guys?!"
"Head to the volcano!" The girl said, pointing to Mt. Cloudbreak. "We can lose them in there!"
"WHAT?!" Gill yelled.
"ALRIGHT!" Eruptor cheered. Gill then stared at him. "What?"
"Gonna be honest," Flynn answered, "Not what I was thinking."
"FLYNN!" Spyro yelled. "Less chit-chat and more getting us out of here!"
"Don't worry, I know the way around!" The fox girl said.
"Well, you better hold on to something, cause I'm about to pull off some serious awesome!" Flynn yelled. "BOOM!"
The Dread-Yacht soon flew into the volcano, with the enemy fleet in hot pursuit. Some ranged Skylanders had begun to open fire on them. During this, Spyro sighed.
"Sometimes, you find adventure." He said silently to himself. "Other times, adventure finds you."
