Skylanders Academy Dawn of Light
Chapter 1
Spyro and Stealth Elf moved silently through the woods, a sheep grazing in front of them. Stealth Elf carried a makeshift bow and arrow. They had to avoid making too much noise Dark Spyro's eyes were everywhere. The skies grew slightly darker every day. Dark Spyro's power was growing with every hour and every day that passed. 6 months had passed since Dark Spyro took over. Spyro had grown he was taller, and his body was longer (picture Dawn of the Dragon Spyro). Stealth Elf had also grown, she was about 3 inches taller and had developed some more defined muscles. Her hair had been cut short now. Her long ponytail had been cut down to just about her chin. She let her hair flow free as she moved.
"looks like sheep for dinner again" whispered Spyro.
"I'm afraid so, don't worry we'll find something good to eat" Stealth Elf whispered back.
"well Agnus should be making the drop right about now, I left Eruptor in charge" whispered Spyro.
"good now shush, I'm gonna take my shot" said Stealth Elf.
Stealth Elf readied a shot, she held her breath and prepared to fire. The sheep was blissfully unaware of the danger it was in. Just as Stealth Elf was about to shoot, Spyro grabbed her arm.
"do you hear that" whispered Spyro.
Stealth Elf listened and heard a faint rumble. It was getting louder, it seemed to be heading in their direction.
"do you think it's skeletons or something?" asked Stealth Elf.
"no idea let's keep moving don't wanna take any risks" said Spyro.
"yeah okay" said Stealth Elf putting the bow and arrow away over her shoulder.
The two of them crept away.
Outside a Cave in an unknown location
Eruptor stood outside a cave entrance waiting for Agnus. She was a lovely Mabu who lived in a nearby village. The village that was close to the cave knew they were Skylanders and gave them supplies every so often to help them get back on their feet and fight back, Agnus would bring the supplies on an old carriage.
As he waited Vesta came walking out of the cave. Her leotard was gone replaced with plain black top and trousers. She approached Eruptor and leant against him.
"no sign of Agnus yet" said Vesta.
"no, not yet I hope she gets here soon" said Eruptor.
"Well I'll keep you company" said Vesta.
"I'd like that" said Eruptor.
Vesta rubbed her right shoulder.
"I'll tell ya one thing those beds are rough" said Vesta.
"we're sleeping in a cave and on rocks, closest I've felt to home in a long time" said Eruptor.
"of course, you'd enjoy it, I hope we're not sleeping on your cousins" laughed Vesta.
"sadly not, shame too I have a couple of annoying cousins I wouldn't mind having someone sit on them" said Eruptor.
Just then Agnus could be seen over the hill sitting on a large cart. The cart was being pulled by a trio of Chillydogs that Agnus found as puppy's.
"ah here she is" said Eruptor stepping forward.
Vesta fell as Eruptor moved landing on her butt.
"oops sorry" said Eruptor.
"its alright it's my fault" said Vesta laughing again and standing back up.
As Vesta sorted herself out Agnus finally arrived, the supplies were covered by a large cloth tied down.
"hey Agnus, how are you doing today?" asked Eruptor.
Agnus spoke in a kind soothing old voice.
"I'm fine sweetie, though I must warn you Dark Spyro had some packs of skeletons come through the village yesterday, had to hide all the supplies, so I'd be extra vigilant today" said Agnus.
"thanks for the warning I'll tell everyone when we get in" said Eruptor.
"that's good sweetie now then let's get you pups some supper" said Agnus clapping her hands.
Agnus climbed down from the cart and untied the cloth, pulling it up and revealing the goodies, fresh meat and fish caught recently. Jugs of water for everyone. Some pillows for people to feel more comfortable sleeping. Eruptor reached over and grabbed some food, before making his way inside. Vesta grabbed some more supplies and soon followed suite. They repeated this several times and eventually all the supplies were inside the cave.
Eruptor approached Agnus and offered her a fist bump as a way of a handshake.
"do you guys remember the plan?" asked Eruptor.
"yep, the day you need us, just give us a message telling when and where, we're ready to fight to reclaim our home" said Agnus.
"alright travel safe Agnus" said Vesta.
"don't worry about me cutie, you worry about your little friend here" whispered Agnus.
"what" said Vesta.
"don't blush cutie I know you like him; he likes you too" said Agnus.
Vesta blushed and backed away.
"you guys take care of yourselves" said Agnus climbing back up on her cart.
"we'll fight back soon" said Eruptor.
"I believe in you all, we all do" said Agnus as she takes off back home.
Agnus started to make her way home.
"let's get inside, Spyro and Stealth Elf should be home soon" said Eruptor.
The two entered the cave and ventured further inside with the supplies.
In Kaossandra's Castle
Kaossandra's castle was still the same. Inside was Dark Spyro. He sat upon Mephesto's throne. He had it taken from the Cadaverous Crypts and brought it here for him to sit on. Dark Spyro had the whole Skylands to rule over, he needed a good throne.
Dark Ouro stood by his throne an ever-vigilant guard. Dark Raider entered the room holding a clipboard.
"ah Raider how are things going today" asked Dark Spyro.
"got a little rebellion in the east, and a rebellion in the west 2 packs of elves don't wanna bend over to our rule, a large squad of about 50 skeletons have been sent to squash them" said Dark Raider.
"any signs of the Skylanders?" asked Dark Spyro.
"not yet master I'm afraid" said Dark Raider.
"well get back to work then, let me know immediately if there's any sightings of them, I want their locations, they are the last hope the Skylands have and I want it to be crushed under my foot" said Dark Spyro.
"yes master" said Dark Raider making his exit.
Dark Spyro rubbed his temple.
"six months, it's been six months and not one sighting of them, they couldn't have just dropped off the face of the Skylands, but that's what they've done" said Dark Spyro.
"do not worry master, you will crush them eventually" said Dark Ouro.
"yes, but all these rebellions, you'd think crushing the light and destroying the Academy would get everyone to follow me, but all these people objecting to my reign, so annoying, if I destroy the Skylanders then all hope would be gone and then they'll crumble to my will" said Dark Spyro.
"you'll have your chance sir; you are the strongest in the Skylands, and nothing will stop you" said Dark Ouro.
Back at the Cave
Stealth Elf and Spyro returned to the cave.
"I hope the delivery went smoothly" said Spyro.
"me too" said Stealth Elf.
The two entered the cave. The darkness consumed them as they walked. After several minutes a light could be seen. The cave system they were in stretched around for a couple of miles inside the bottom of a mountain. They found it when they were running away from Dark Spyro's forces. They came from all sides, forcing them to run in all different directions till they found this place. Inside the Skylanders had set up a base of operations. Rocks were moved around to form seats and tables. On one was several maps and diagrams of the Skylands. Sprocket had her own corner for designing weapons. She was also working on a device to allow travel between realms. Eon was weakened from being drained by Dark Spyro and the collapse of the Core of Light, so he was too weak to open a portal to Avalar.
In order to make room for everyone, they had to sleep in pairs, Spyro and Stealth Elf decided to pair up given their budding romance. But poor Jet-Vac had to sleep with Pop-Fizz, and he was a kicker. Spyro saw everyone getting the supplies ready for dinner. So, he went to his and Stealth Elves quarters and picked up his journal. He tried to write in it every day.
"dear journal, delivery went smooth today, it's been 6 months since this all started, 6 months of living in a cave and half the time foraging for food, Sprocket has been making good progress on the portal machine, everyone's been trying to help as best they can, the villages know of our plan to fight back soon, we've started amassing people, soon Dark Spyro will have a war on his hands, and we'll win" wrote Spyro.
He finished writing and closed the journal. Just then Stealth Elf teleported into the room.
"hey Spyro, you coming to play, Eruptor wants to play a card game before dinner?" asked Stealth Elf.
Spyro placed the book down on the floor and got up to follow Stealth Elf.
"let's play a game, haven't done one of those in a while" said Spyro.
"good, get ready to lose" teased Stealth Elf nudging him with her shoulder.
"you wish" said Spyro as they made their way over to Eruptor.
