Hello Skylander fans, yes I know this chapter didn't come out sooner than expected but I got caught in other things and I know how many people hate to wait. Now just a quick note I probably won't be able to mention all of the Skylanders in existence so if you want a character to be mention please post it in the Reviews and I will see what I can do.
(Three days later)
The Academy has become a struggle for many. Ever since Eon sent out the call to all of the Skylanders they have been taking their time getting to the academy since they were scattered so far away. Only several of the Skylanders have shown up which included Hot dog, Fright rider, Ghost Roaster, Dino-Rang, Bash, Lightning Rod, Scratch, Warnado, and Skylander giant Thumpback. Most of them have been spreaded around the academy training the Cadets or themselves or resting from they're travels here. Not many have shown up but Eon has assured the residents that more will arrive.
The team, Stealth Elf, Eruptor, Jet-vac and Pop fizz have fully recovered from their wounds that Spyro has given them and are now in the presence of master Eon. Inside the great library Jet-vac has been writing a list of all of the Skylanders that have arrived. Pop fizz and Stealth Elf were playing a game of chess to past the time while Eruptor was becoming annoyed by no course of action in this time. Eon and Kaossandra have been looking through numerous books on dark magic and a large map was on the table in front of them. Finally Eruptor snapped after his fiftieth time going wall to wall. Eruptor walked up to where Pop fizz and Stealth Elf were and punch the chess board up towards the sky and fell down making a loud noise as chess piece were scattered across the floor. The noise shocked everyone in the room making all eyes go to the angry lava creature.
"Eruptor!" Stealth Elf shouted at the short temper fire element. "What was that for?"
"Why are we here sitting around doing nothing while Spyro is out there destroying things? This is just a waste of time". He shouted back at his best Friend. Stealth Elf used her power to teleport straight in front of Eruptor and pointed her index finger at him.
"We are waiting for reinforcements Eruptor. We can't go rushing into battle without the proper help. So cool down and wait for further orders" The female Elf scolded him.
"Elfy our friend is out there and he's the one trying to destroy us. Why aren't you worried on what could happen to him, or what he could do to people? Why don't you care?" Eruptor shouted back.
"I am worried for our friend Eruptor" She said her ears falling slightly in sadness. "It's just that I'm scared to see him again". The room was quiet and Eruptor just stared at her in confusion. Stealth Elf's eyes started to show a slight sign of tears but she held them back. "I'm scared to see our friend as the monster he never was. Cold hearted and thinks of nothing but revenge, I want to believe that he'll come back and… we could be friends again" The Elf admitted. Eruptor felt a lot of guilt saying she didn't care and that she was scared to see Spyro again.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that" Eruptor said looking to the ground.
"It's alright, it needed to be said" Stealth Elf said looking to the ground as well.
"Well I guess we can all say that we are scared" Jet-vac said earning the gaze of the two. "I thought it was just me but, I guess being scared to see our friend is something will all have to do. Even if he's trying kill us" Eruptor and Stealth Elf nodded to the professors words and a small smile showing on their lips.
"Well I am sorry to ruin this moment but we have urgent matters to discuss" Eon said walking up to the group with Kaossandra following behind. "Me and Kaossandra have figured out a reasonable plan". The teams attention went to the two humans as Kaossandra walked up beside Eon.
"Strykore will search the lands and steal light from people that are captured by him and increase his power" Kaossandra spoke gravely.
"You do know we've never seen this guy fight so how do you oppose we stop him?" Jet-vac asked.
"I do not know but what I do know is that Strykore will be barely making any appearances since he used to spend most of his time using spells, so he'll most likely be waiting in my castle" The dark sorceress answered.
"So it remains that we won't have to worry too much about Strykore and leaves us to fight against his forces. So what we need to do is fight them off and slow his progress down" Eon said placing his hands behind his back.
"Well we are just going against a few armoured mabu's and Spyro, so how hard could it be?" Jet-vac shrugged thinking it would be easy. "Even with all of the Skylanders that have joined us so far we should be able to handle them".
"You do know that they do have Berserker and Kaos in their arsenal" Stealth Elf said looking at the hawk.
"Yeah but we can take them" Pop interrupted.
"I don't know about that" Kaossandra said still looking grave. "I believe Strykore has something else in mind to increase his army, he knows that Mabu's aren't good fighters and that they are worthless, so he would probably have some up his sleeve"
"Ahem did you just call me worthless" Hugo said coming out of nowhere from behind the two humans. He was holding his usual clipboard and a pen marking things down.
"Oh no dear friend she didn't mean that" Eon assured the Mabu he still had a hard gaze at the sorceress. "Right Kaossandra".
"Hah they might be useful to you but not to me" Kaossandra said looking at her sharp nails.
"You may think that but truth be told us Mabu are fearless" Hugo said sticking his chest out trying to look intimidating.
"Well then can you deal that thing behind you then" the tall women pointed behind the green coat mabu. Hugo gave her a confused look and he turned around and he froze. It was a fluffy white mammal with a black head munching on something in his mouth.
"Ahhh Sheep! The demon has come! Run!" With that Hugo screamed and ran out of the library waving his hands in the air in terror. Everyone looked out in the direction the Mabu went, the sheep going after him. The group then turned back to the sorceress.
"Pathetic, well back to the topic at hand" She said facing the Skylanders. "Strykore target at hand is to destroy the core of light, if he succeeds he will then spread darkness freely across the land. But Strykore now knows what he's up against and will try and find ways to find the Core. Thankfully Eon has hid the Core, right?"
"Indeed I have and the only way to it is either the portals" Eon said gesturing to the five ground portals. "Or traveling to the citadel which is very far away".
"Well that's good and all but how are we going to defeat Strykore. What did you do against his forces during the great war?" Jet-vac asked.
"Many ancient warriors fought in the war and we nearly lost, but the thing is Strykore will scatter his forces to different parts of the land possibly looking for the core of light. Though in the past he sent forces to anywhere there is civilization and kidnap the residents" Eon explained gravely.
"So we should scouts to the villages and search for the dark forces, and then head directly there to stop them" Jet-vac said punching his hands together for the idea.
"As easy as it sounds Jet-vac I don't think we can get there in time to stop them" Eon said looking down in disappointment.
"Well maybe Glumshanks can find out what their doing" Stealth Elf suggested.
"Glumshanks should be calling us soon for a report but it depends if Strykore is getting suspicious of him and has figured out what he has been doing" Kaossandra said placing a finger on her chin in thought.
"Perhaps I may be of assistance" Everyone turned to the direction the new voice and saw Sensai King Pen waddling towards the group. Cy swooped into the room after him running up to the Skylanders.
"Skylanders good to see you again" Cy said shaking all of their hands. "We heard what happened and came as soon as we could".
"Indeed, it appears that you will need all of the help you can get" the water element penguin said walking up to Eon. King pen noticed the sorceress and turned to her. "Kaossandra, it is great to see you here with us again".
"Yes well the feeling is mutual" Kaossandra said back to the Sensai. King pen chuckled.
"Good to see you haven't changed a bit, I believe you have already thought of a plan to stop Strykore for good?" King pen asked.
"We believe that if we get Kaossandra book of dark magic back we may be able to seal Strykore in the endless void again" Eon told his old friend.
"But we don't know how long he will remain in the prison, and the fact that I don't have my powers to seal him away will make things very difficult" Kaossandra said rubbing her fingers together showing King pen that she had no power.
"What if Eon does it?" Eruptor asked.
"The spell that we need can only be used by dark magic, which I don't have" Eon said to the skylander. "The only people who have the power to use this spell and Kaos and Strykore. We must find another way to seal him away but we still need that book".
"Well if we can't use the book then why do we need it" Pop fizz said jumping on top of Eruptor.
"Because Strykore knows every spell and word in that book" Kaossandra told the creature. "If we take the book then we can learn what kind of spell he used or what spell he'll mostly likely use. But still if we find a another being that uses dark magic they can use the spell to seal Strykore away".
"Well as long as we have a way to stop him then it is all good" Cy said.
"Not everything is good" Stealth Elf said looking down in disappointment.
"What do you mean?" The banana head asked.
"Haven't you noticed, Spyro is going to be our biggest problem" Eruptor said giving Cy an angry glare.
"W-Why Spyro, where is he?" Cy said looking from side to side for the purple dragon.
"His light has be taken from Strykore and is now he is trying to defeat us" Eon said looking even more sadden.
"So he has done it again" King pen said knowing the answer.
"Yes Spyro is now under Strykore grasp. We have seen what he has done and it wasn't good. He has nothing but darkness in his heart" Eon said.
"And if Spyro has become who you said he has he will try and stop us from reaching Strykore" King pen replied.
"Look out of curiosity does anyone know where they are?" Cy asked his friends. They all shook their heads.
"They could be at Cloudcracker prison but that place would be heavily defensive by now, and they could be anywhere" Jet-vac responded. Cy sighed.
"Well let's hope it doesn't get any worse" He said. At that moment the doors burst open shocking everyone with surprise.
In the doorway were two tech elements, Sprocket helping an injured Skylander. The Skylander had green scaly skin on the top half and his legs were brown with sharp claws. His form looked like a dragon but his wings and the tip of his tail were coated by a blue and yellow metal. His head was also covered in blue metal and a yellow horn was placed on top also made of metal. It appeared that this one was injured based on the fact that it was limping and had a number of bruises.
"Sprocket! Drobot! What happened?" Eon said shocked walking up to the two tech elementise.
"I found Drobot making his way here injured, he said he wanted to speak to you" The red hair engineer said.
"Well Drobot, speak to us" Eon begged.
"S-Spyro" Everyone was shocked in awe at the Skylanders name. "That was the name of the one that attacked us. He was very skilled, along with others at his side. I was the only one to escape". Everyone listened in on the cyborgs words in disbelieve.
"Spyro was with you, where? How?" Eon questioned the tech dragon.
"They came out of nowhere, on airships and attacked the city of technology. I was the with a few other Skylanders when they attacked. He seemed to know you really well" Drobot said.
"Please Drobot tell us your story, everything you know when they attacked" King pen told the injured dragon.
"It started like this" The robot began to speak.
(Yesterday Flashback)
Drobot was traveling towards Skylanders academy to meet with Eon because of his call. The cyborg dragon was also traveling with two other Skylanders in the process, a four armed yeti, and a walking earth element shark. Slam Bam and Terrafin. They have stopped for a break at a large city which was filled with cogs, machines, and other metal part. The city of technology was known to have many people who create different pieces of tech or repair things. It was a sight to behold, especially a large tower made fully out of golden metal and gears. It was also told that a large reactor was placed there to ensure power to the city but has been known to destroy the city if it blew up.
The group of Skylanders were sitting at a cafe on the outskirts of the major city taking a break. Drobot laid down beneath a tree enjoy the shade while Terrafin and Slam Bam sat at a table close by. To two heavy hitters were enjoying there drinks resting up on their long travels.
"Yo Drobot" The yeti said getting the dragons attention. "How long will it take to reach the academy?"
"Approximately twelve hours, thirty-one minutes and fifthteen seconds" The dragon responded. The yeti shook his head and chuckled listening to the dragons logic and genius calculations. "And that includes the stops Terrafin does" Drobot added at the end.
"Hey you know it's nice to admire the landmarks!" The earth shark shouted.
"Yeah but we don't find giant brown rocks interesting" Slam Bam said taking a sip from his drink mocking the Skylander.
"Well excuse me for admiring mother nature" Terrafin said slamming his fist onto the table. "Frankly I can't wait to meet the new Skylander team".
"Yeah I heard they've been doing really well, but if Eon called us then something must be wrong" Slam Bam said.
"Actually this Skylander team had a thirty percent more success rate then you guys when you were back at the academy" Drobot said yawning.
"Hey we take offense to that!" Slam Bam shouted at the tired dragon.
"I know, it was an insult" Drobot replied calmly.
"Well you know what they were probably better than you when you were there" Terrafin said crossing his arms with a smirk.
"Impossible, my intellect never let me down and my test scores were actually higher than most of those guys" The dragon said walking towards the table.
"Well we won't find out till we get there" Slam Bam said finishing the last of his drink.
"I guess so" Terrafin agreed finishing his drink as well. He stood up and stretched his arms. "So should we start heading out?"
"I suppose so, anymore calculations you want to make Drobot" the yeti said sarcastically.
"Yes, your core temperature increased by four percent when I made that insult" Drobot responded. And the yeti rolled his eyes.
"Okay can we just leave before we have an argument and start fighting with each oth-" Terrafin was cut off by a loud explosion.
The Skylanders turned to were the smoke was rising from a metal tower and more explosions happened around the city. Through the smoke an airship flew past. The airship look like a boat made of wood but was tied to a large green balloon, it had large orange bat shape looking wings on each side on the balloon. On the wood shaped like boat were cannons (Three on each side) firing cannon balls at the houses or residents of the city (AN: I don't really know what they look like so I tried to remember what they looked like). There were several airships flying all around the city destroying the landmarks.
Drobot eyed all of the ships and following their patterns. Out of nowhere something big and green jumped from one of the ships and landed shaking the ground in the process. The figure revealed to be a goliath drow, he stood up straight and started punching his chest for action.
"Block all of the exits!" The drow shouted. "No one leaves, secure and imprisoned them!" The airships floated down to the ground and planks dropped to the ground leading a way on and off the ships. Several Mabu soldiers ran off the ships and started grabbing residents and tying them up as the ship flew back off into the air.
The Skylanders looked at one another and all nodded. Drobot made the first move by flying towards the group of evil mabu that were harming the residents. The tech dragon started by firing lasers from his eyes striking the intruders burning their skin making them flinch. Drobot head butted one of them resulting him getting knocked out. His group retaliated by swinging metal poles, battens (Stolen from the prison guards) and spears. Drobot ducked a swing from a bat and hit the attacker in the face by smacking him with his tail. Slam Bam decided to join the action and attack the group by grabbing two of them by the head and smacking them together. The yeti grabbed another and through him in the air and out of the ground Terrafin rose knocking two others out from beneath him and punch the one Slam Bam through in the air to the ground.
"Too easy!" Terrafin shouted smiling.
"Drobot any idea on what their doing?" The water element asked the dragon. Drobot looked up at the skys following the ships patterns.
Drobot flew into the sky looking at the commotion in front of him. The dragon looked more carefully at his surroundings. Smoke rises from many ends of the city and within. Drobot looked more carefully to where the attackers were leading the people. The base of the golden tower was surrounded by many residents. The area of the tower was in was within a large square and large thick metal walls forming a barrier the entrance to that area had four entrance tunnels that lead to the tower, but two of the tunnels looked completely demolished and one of them looked like it was completely blocked of by airships and raiders. Drobot swooped back down to meet with the two others. The others started to run towards the center while Drobot explained what was happening.
"Their planning to drive everyone into the center of the city" The Skylander said calculations and theories running through his head. "These raiders have destroyed all of the escape routes and most likely about seventy-six percent of the population is within the city square. The north and west entry tunnel are completely destroyed so there's no access the east wall is completely block off but if we take the south tunnel thats where less of the commotion is"
"Right south tunnel it is then" Slam Bam shouted sprinting through the ruined metal streets.
A loud bang was heard behind them and they turned to see an airship going in there direction. Two cannons were placed on front a Mabu took place next to them giving orders.
"Fire!" He shouted the cannons fired balls of stone and metal heading straight towards the Skylanders. The group just dodged the cannon balls as the airship past them from above.
The ship went back in the air again and it turned around going for another round. Drobot charged up his laser eyes and fired at the ship. The attack was about to make contact but was intercepted by a lightning streak of power and an explosion occurred. The airship flew freely in the sky and a dark purple figure flew past it showing a purple dragoness.
"Cynder take them down!" The Mabu on the ship shouted. The dragon known as Cynder spun around in the direction the Skylanders were.
"I've got it Jones" The dragoness shouted back dropping down towards the group.
Slam Bam was the first to react by throwing an empty wooden cart towards the dragon. The cart was about to hit the girl but her actions surprised the Skylanders. She turned into some sort of dark dust cloud and pasted through the cart and reappeared again and fire a lightning attack at them. Drobot responded by firing his laser eye attack intercepting the lightning resulting in the same explosion as before. Cynder swooped past the group and flew back into the air and just hovered, gazing at them.
The skylanders were about to lounge in action but something strike Terrafin in the back and sent him across the field landing flat on his face. The other two turned to see the same goliath drow from before. The drow yelled and lifted his fist preparing to punch the tech dragon but Slam Bam grabbed it before it could hit him.
"Drobot! Check on Terrafin, I'll deal with this guy" Slam Bam said through his gritted teeth.
"I'm gonna eat you alive, because I'm… Crazy!" The muscle drow shouted.
"Shut your mouth" Slam bam punched the green being underneath the chin making him stumble backwards. The yeti launched himself at his opponent throwing many punches because of his four arms.
Drobot ran towards Terrafin who was struggling to stand up. "Terrafin I am detecting a painful experience you are having with your back-"
"Oh enough of your stupid calculations and lets knock these guys out" The land shark shouted facing the dragoness and the airship.
"We can deal with the ship but the dragon will be a problem to us" Drobot said running multiple theories in his head.
"I've got this" Terrafin shouted a punched the ground. Hard. the punch caused a shockwave a rather large stone jumped out of the ground. Terrafin punched the rock sending it flying through the air towards the airship.
Jones flinched as the rock came towards him and crashed into the hull of the ship breaking it apart. Jones made a leap of faith as the ship broke apart and exploded by the explosives within. The mabu was falling to the ground until something grabbed him by his shoulders stopping his fall. He looked up seeing the one who caught him. Cynder gave the mabu a smirk but then turned towards the Skylanders. Drobot saw his chance as Cynder's flight speed was reduced. The tech dragon fired a laser towards the dragoness. Cynder was blinded the red beam of light and froze in shock. The laser made its way closer to her. Suddenly a purple wall of magic blocked the laser's path, making it disappear. The dragon and the mabu landed on the ground the magic being who protected them. Kaos.
"Kaos!" Terrafin shouted in surprise.
"Yes it is I, Kaos" The short man said saying his name in pride.
"Your not the one behind this, you would never think of something like this nor would you be able to do it" Drobot said calmly showing no emotion or surprise.
"You underestimate me. Even though this is not my plan but it's great to be working for Strykore" Kaos said summoning a orb of dark magic. Kaos was about to launch the ball of power when a harpoon struck the ground just before Kaos's feet making him shriek and jumped into Cynder's arms.
"Need a hand" a voice said. The groups turned towards the direction of the voice and saw a blue scale fish man on top of the building loading a harpoon into his gun.
"Gill grunt!" The skylanders shouted.
"Not just me" The fish man said stepping to the side showing a black feathered griffith.
"Sonic boom?" Terrafin said.
"Hello boys, seems like you got yourself into a bit of trouble" Sonic boom said jumping down towards the other two followed by Gill Grunt.
"Indeed, our chances of winning are at forty-five percent currently" Drobot said.
"Oh come on it's five against four" Terrafin said nudge the metal dragon.
"That's the five percent" He answered back.
"Incoming!" Gill Grunt yelled. The group ducked as Slam Bam was thrown over the top of them and fell to the ground covered in dirt and bruises.
"That's not good" Sonic Boom said getting into a battle stance.
The group now faced off against the four elites of Strykore's army. Berserker was standing in front looking completely fine. Jones stood further away with his hands clenched into fists. Kaos was still in Cynder arms recovering from the sudden shock. A roar was heard from within the sky that was heard by everyone. A fast speeds a black reptilian figure blew past a landed straight in front of the elites kicking up a dust cloud covering his entire body. The dust cloud pasted and revealed another dragon different to Cynder. This one had dark scales with silver horns and standing on his four legs with pride.
The Skylanders flinched at the new arrival that was facing them. The dragon turned his head to face the group eyes resting on Cynder. Cynder returned his gaze but his eyes were cold and showed an annoyed glance towards the one in her arms. The purple dragon dropped Kaos with a 'thud' and kept looking at the dark dragon.
"Spyro, glad to see your here" Cynder said showing a slight scene of a blush on her face.
"Yes indeed. You have done well, let me deal the rest. Be prepared to hold them down once I'm done with them" Spyro said giving Cynder a smiling then facing the Skylanders. "So it's true" the dragon said making the skylanders have a confused look. "Eon has called for all of you Skylanders to fight against us".
"Yeah, so what's it to you" Gill Grunt shouted at the Dragon.
"A lot of things actually, we could always use many people to have in our army" Spyro said giving them a smirk.
"We're not gonna join you, you idiot" Terrafin shouted.
"Harsh words but you don't get a choice, you will join us one way," Spyro said bringing his claw in front of his face showing them his sharp claws. "Or another".
"Fear the fish!" Gill Grunt shouted firing his harpoon gun towards Spyro. The young dragon was prepared and grabbed the harpoon just inches away from his face surprising the Skylanders.
"Hey Terrafin" Drobot said getting the Skylanders attention. "Our chances of winning have become twenty thr-"
"Oh shut up!" The land shark shouted and ran towards Spyro fist raised.
"Pathetic" The dark dragon spat. Spyro spun using his tail to knock Terrafin off his feet. The dark dragon punched the shark in the head that slammed him to the ground and using his tail to knock him to Berserker who grabbed Terrafin immobilizing him in a headlock.
Sonic Boom and Gill Grunt jumped forwards towards Spyro attempting to catch him off guard. Spyro used his fire to blind the two Skylanders as they hesitated. The dark dragon jumped behind them and slammed them both into the ground making them feel intense pain. The dragon used his tail to send them towards the elites which Kaos caught Gill Grunt in a dark magic electrical ord and Cynder who pinned Sonic Boom to the ground. Drobot was all that was left which made Spyro chuckle.
"What are the odds of winning look like to you" Spyro said giving a smirk.
"Three point four percent now" Drobot replied calmly.
"Well I'm about to make it zero now" Spyro shouted the last bit and charged at drobot.
Drobot fired laser's to Spyro but they did nothing, eventually Spyro made his way to the tech dragon. Drobot jumped in the air attempting to avoid Spyro back the dragon's claws scratched his leg. The skylander held back the pain but was quickly hit by Spyro's tail and was sent back and crashed on the ground. Drobot struggled to stand as Spyro walked closer to finish him off.
"Get to Eon and warn him" Someone whispered to Drobot.
The tech dragon turned his head to see Slam Bam barely standing and grabbed Drobot by the tail. The yeti spun around spinning Drobot in the process and let go, sending the metal dragon into the air. Drobot spread his wings out and looked back at the city of technology. It was still smoking from all of the ruins that were there. Drobot looked around trying to find his Skylander team but couldn't find them anywhere. 'We failed. We barely did anything to stop the massacre' the dragon thought to himself and flew away from the ruined city.
(Present time)
"... And that is all that has happened before I came here" Drobot said finishing his story.
All the skylanders had faces of shock, disappointment and most of all. Fear. The Skylanders all turned and looked at each eventually all eyes resting on Eon.
"Oh my… This is going to be much harder than we thought".
Finally it's done. I am so sorry that it took this long to write this chapter, I'll try and make up for it but I can't make any promises. If you want a certain skylander character to have a certain part in the story please put it in the reviews and I will try and put it in the story.
