Skylanders Academy Dark Spyro
Chapter 14
It had been several long minutes since Eon had rescued Stealth Elf and brought her back to the side of light. She was laid out on the grass unconscious. Her energy had been sapped when Eon ripped the darkness away from her. Eon was relieved that he was able to bring Stealth Elf back, now all that was left was to bring Spyro back. Eon turned to the other Skylanders and said "Skylanders we can't waste much time we need to get back to the Academy and rally everyone". "okay Master Eon" said Eruptor. Eon turned and picked Stealth Elf up into his arms as they began to journey back to the Academy.
Back at Kaossandra's Castle
Spyro appeared in the castle and pulled out the Arkeyan Power Core. "I have it, now I can repower the robot and destroy the Core of Light". He walked towards the robot and wondered exactly how he was supposed to replace the core he had no knowledge of the inner mechanics of such an advanced piece of technology. Spyro couldn't even fix his phone whenever it wigged out on him, he would just show it to Sprocket. "Great now I got to figure this out" said Spyro to himself. He flew up to the robot and hovered around it's chest trying to locate where it's power core could be. He had an idea. Spyro landed back on the ground and raised the Fist of Arkus. "alright Fist tell me how I replace an Arkeyan Power Core in an Arkeyan Conquertron". The Fist began to make some whirring noises as it looked like it was calculating his question. After 30 seconds a voice began to speak from the Fist. "to replace your Arkeyan Power Core just follow these simple steps, Step one, find the hatch to the inside of the Conquertron on the centre of its body and open it". Spyro set to work fixing the robot.
Back at the Academy
The Skylanders returned to the Academy, as they passed Malefor's grave they could see that Cynder had come out of her room and has settled down next to his grave. She wasn't crying or talking she just stood there staring at her father's grave almost like she couldn't believed that he was gone. She turned to face the Skylanders when they passed, when she laid eyes on Stealth Elf in Eon's arms, she ran up to speak to them. "you guys managed to save her" she said. Eon stopped and turned to face Cynder. "yes, Cynder we did but now we need to deal with something much more important, if your up to it can you speak to the cadets and anyone else who has been trained around the Academy and tell them to meet here" said Eon. "yes sir" said Cynder she was glad to have something to keep her busy. Cynder flapped her wings and took off to gather the students. Meanwhile the others continued to Eon's study. When they entered, they saw Kaos stood in the office pacing. "there you guys are, I can't believe you went after that Skydork without me" said Kaos. "son you were weak from your fight with Spyro you needed to rest" said Eon.
Eon walked over to the couch in the office and laid Stealth Elf down, so she could be more comfortable. "Skylanders Spyro has the Power Core, now he can repower the Conquertron and finally destroy the Core of Light, we need to come up with a plan" said Eon. "he's too powerful to just defeat in a fight, especially now that the robot is back" said Kaossandra. "and we can't risk causing him too much damage our Spyro could still be in there somewhere" said Jet-Vac. Eon sighed "Skylanders I think it may be time to face the facts that Spyro may never come back" said Eon. "wait why don't you just use that spell you used on Elfy to bring Spyro back" said Jet-Vac. "its not that simple" replied Eon. "Stealth Elf wasn't under the control of darkness for that long, Spyro has been trapped in the dark Abyss for too long that spell is too weak to banish the darkness in his heart, if I tried it would fail miserably". "so, there isn't a way to bring him back" said Eruptor. "well there is one, I never wanted to use it before because it was far too dangerous but given the circumstances, we may not have a choice" said Eon "follow me". Eon beckoned them all to follow him into the Relic's Room.
As they entered the room Eon walked towards the forbidden spell book that Kaossandra had used previously. Eon picked up the book and opened it up to a specific page. "this spell book has something that could defeat but like I said I didn't want to use it" said Eon. "why Master Eon" said Eruptor. "the spell will help rip the darkness away from Spyro, but its not safe…. It's untested, dangerous" said Eon. "using this spell also has a good chance of killing Spyro in the process, that's why I didn't want to use it". "so, you're saying the only chance of bringing our buddy back could also kill him" said Eruptor. "yes, that's exactly what I'm saying, and now it's a decision we may have to make, but it's one we must make with extreme difficulty" said Eon. The Skylanders left the room and returned to the office. Stealth Elf was awake and was slowly walking around the office trying to focus herself. "hey guys" she said. Eruptor ran forward and pulled her into a hug. "I've missed you Elfy" said Eruptor. "whoa Eruptor calm down I just fell asleep" said Stealth Elf. "do you not remember what happened" said Jet-Vac. Stealth Elf pulled away from Eruptor and thought "I remember being held captive by Spyro, then me and Eon escaped from the castle, that's about it" said Stealth Elf. "it must have wiped her memory" said Jet-Vac. "What must have wiped my memory?" asked Stealth Elf. Eon stepped forward. "Stealth Elf while we were captured Spyro casted a spell on you, when we escaped it activated it made you become corrupted by darkness and you joined Spyro for a while, until we rescued you" said Eon. "WHAT" she shouted. "no way, there's no-way I would have let myself get taken over by evil". "you couldn't help it" said Eon "your safe now and have been brought back to the light, so that's all that matters". "okay Eon, what were you guys talking about in the Relics Room?" she asked. "we have a way to save Spyro…. but it could kill him if we try" said Eruptor. "what no, we can't do that, that's too big a risk" said Stealth Elf. "I understand your feelings for him, but we can't let feelings get in the way of the safety of the Skylands" said Eon. Stealth Elf looked like she wanted to speak but knew that he was right.
Just then the door burst open and Sprocket came running in. "Master Eon I may have a plan on how to help Spyro". Eon turned to face her, "what are you talking about Sprocket" said Eon. "my device that allows someone to take over the body of someone else, I've been trying to modify it, so we can enter the person's mind not just the body" said Sprocket "if my device works, we could send someone into Spyro's mind to help his good side fight back if he's still in there". "that's a brilliant idea" said Eon "if it works, we may not have to use this spell". "there is one small gripe with the machine though" said Sprocket. "what is it" said Jet-Vac. "the machine needs something to power it, it's not strong enough for people, small animals yes, people no" replied Sprocket. "so, we need to find something that can help the machine" said Jet-Vac. "there is something that could power the machine" said Eon. "the Telepathic Gem Stone, it gifts people the power to read and access people's minds and memories, if we combine it with the machine it could work and allow us to enter Spyro's mind and help him". "Where is the Gem Stone?" asked Jet-Vac. "it was buried in the falling forest thirty-five years the map to that location is kept in the Relic's Room" said Eon "I'll go get". Eon left to retrieve the map. "I hope this works and we can save him" said Eruptor. After a few minutes Eon returned with the map. "we should head out to see who Cynder has gathered" said Eon.
Back at the Castle
Spyro was slowly working through repairing the robot, it was no easy job even with the instructions. The robot had dozens of wires that needed to be treated with extreme caution. He was trying to pull the old core out to replace with the new core. He pulled with all his might and after a few seconds the Power Core popped out of place. "finally," he shouted. He carefully placed the new Power Core and replaced the robots panel. He pressed a button to try and activate it again. Nothing happened. "what I didn't screw up did I" said Spyro. He pressed a button on the Fist to finish off reading the instructions. "when the Power Core is replaced, you must wait twenty-five minutes before the robot can be activated again. "god damn it".
Back at the Academy
The Skylanders saw that Cynder had gathered the cadets, Cy, Roller Brawl, Food Fight, Chill, Bad Breath and Wind Up. She even managed to get hold of King Pen who was waiting for Eon's instructions. There was also Kaboom, Slam Bam and Tree Rex. Even Hex was there to try and help out. "okay Skylanders a threat has emerged that is too powerful for just us, we need everyone to help us fight this evil, Spyro has the Conquertron and he will get stronger if he destroys the Core of Light, we have a plan to stop him which Jet-vac will be in charge of" said Eon. He turned around and handed the map to JV. "Jet-Vac, Sprocket, Eruptor and Kaossandra will go after the Gem Stone, while the rest of us will go on Flynn's ship to the Core and defend it, Spyro will be heading in that direction any moment now, this is a dangerous mission I can't stress that enough, we've already lost someone…. And sadly, I can't guarantee it won't happen again, but we have to brave it or else we'll lose everything we hold dear" said Eon. "there's isn't any time to waste let's go…. Skylanders Forever" said Eon. "SKYLANDERS FOREVER" shouted everyone in unison. The Skylanders split with JV, Sprocket and Eruptor going for the Gem while the others hopped on Flynn's ship and sped off as fast as they could to the Core of Light.
Back at the Castle
The Conquertron finally kicked back into life and an evil grin began to spread across Spyro's face. "finally, now to destroy that Core and then nothing will stop me from becoming the most powerful being in existence and I will rule the Skylands". He climbed into the robot's control area and the robot activated its rockets and began to journey to the Core of Light.
30 Minutes later
The Skylanders were at the Core of Light and were stood around it in a circle so they could see in all directions, and nothing could sneak up on them. A loud rumble could slowly be heard. They looked up and saw the Conquertron approaching. "stand strong Skylanders if we fail the Skylands will fall" shouted Eon. The Conquertron landed on the island with a massive thud shaking the very island. Spyro looked down at them and began to speak "I'll give you one chance to move or you'll all end up like Malefor". None of them budged. "ATTACK" shouted Eon. They all ran forward sparking the fight that will decide the fate of the Skylands.
