Chapter 2
"No...he found the Ruins as well..." Spyro and the group were already too late, the Ruins were decimated, in flames, destroyed, as they paced through, Spyro saw many Skylanders either heavily wounded and tending to others, or dead. "Spyro!" Spyro turned to see Flame and Volteer heading their way, "thank goodness we found you, it's Malefor, he's back! He took us by surprise, and managed to destroy everything but the Core" Foame pointed out, sounding confused ask the last part, "why leave the Core intact but not the rest?" Whirlwind asked in confusion, "maybe because he's not from this world, like Cynder and myself" Spyro commented as they considered this, "the only reason Kaos could destroy the Core, was because he was of this world, Malefor, Cynder, and I are from Avalar, same with Flame and Volteer, we can't psychically harm the Core" Spyro explained his reasoning, "yes, that just might be correct" Flame replied, "so the one thing that balances light and dark in this world is the one thing that's safe from Malefor, that's...convenient" Spider-Man shrugged slightly. "Regardless, my friends, Malefor may not be able to destroy the Core of Light, but he will focus on decimating small Mabu settlements and conquer all of the Skylands unless we stop him and his associates" Volteer reminded them in his energetic tone as Spyro looked around at all the wounded Skylanders, "I couldn't save them..." Spyro gained flashbacks the lifelessness in his friends eyes, the only known living friends of his from the Academy, were Cynder, Pop Fizz, Flashwing, and potentialally Eon and Hugo, somehow, Spyro's life could never get enough of the sorrow and death that polluted it for so long, regardless of whether the dragon living said 'life' wanted it. For once, just once, Spyro wished, that he could have a normal day with his mate again, not being interrupted by Kaos, of course. Spyro snapped back to reality for as soon as Flame mentioned something about 'a plan to remove Malefor from power (which would ovbiously involve going once more to his castle or something, I don't know man)' all eyes turned to either Spider-Man or Spyro, "uh, okay, a plan? Yeah, yeah I got a few" Spyro informed them in a slightly out-of-breath tone despite having not being doing much at all, "okay, here we go".
