Skylanders Academy Ouro's Journey
Chapter 1
At the Academy
3 months have passed since Eon and Kaossandra's wedding. They left the Academy in the worthy hands of Spyro and Stealth Elf now obtaining the mantle of Master Spyro and Master Stealth Elf. But they weren't here right now the happy couple were now a happy married couple and were off on their honeymoon in a resort off Leviathan Lagoon. Eruptor overtook the Master role while they were away. Now the new group of cadets look out for the Skylands.
Raider and Ouro trained their moves. Raider wielded his fathers blade while Ouro used her retractable blades. They were being watched by cadets as they trained. There blades clashed and Raider pushed Ouro away using his superior size and dashed forward. Raider swung a wide slash and Ouro ducked underneath the strike before driving her right blade up and halting just short of Raider's chin.
"you keep leaving yourself wide open" said Ouro with a grin on her face.
"alright you win this round Ouro" said Raider admitting defeat.
Ouro retracted her blades and was happy with her victory.
"you'll get better Raider" said Ouro.
"Guys" shouted a voice from behind them.
They turned towards the source of the voice to see Cynder flying towards them.
"what's going on Cynder?" asked Ouro.
"just got word from Eruptor, some elves are starting fires out in the falling forest, they're trying to start a wildfire" said Cynder.
"no time to waste let's go" said Raider.
The trio took off to find Vesta and Hex. Raider had no time to grab the rest of his gear.
They sprinted away from the Academy. Ouro turned to face Cynder.
"me and Raider will go there to try and hold them off, you go find Vesta and Hex and meet us in the falling forest" said Ouro.
"will do, be careful you two" said Cynder as she took flight and flew off to find the other Skylanders.
In the distance Ouro and Raider could see smoke rising above the trees.
Raider pushed himself to run faster, he felt his legs pump as he sprinted as fast as he could.
As they got closer they could see a dozen elves. Three elves were kneeling down near the trees using some kind of tools to try and start fires. The other elves were armed with spears. Raider let out a battle cry as he unsheathed his blade and charged at the elves. Ouro took to the skies and summoned her blades.
The nearest elf jabbed his spear forward but Raider effortlessly blocked the attack with his blade and moved round the spear before sweeping the elves legs out and taking him to the floor. Before Raider could follow up with another attack a second elf jabbed at him with a spear forcing Raider to back away as the other elves moved towards him. Ouro swooped in and dodged a spear before grabbing an elf and taking them into the sky. Ouro threw the elf into the sky and flew up before diving down kicking the elf in the chest and launching him into the ground where the elf was KO'd by the impact. To their left one of the elves succeeded in lighting a proper fire and the flames began to grow up the tree. Ouro felt worry wash over her. Back down on the ground Raider was dodging spears left and right. He too saw the fire and knew they needed to hurry.
Luckily for them the other's arrived at just that moment. Vesta, Hex and Cynder arrived to help. They also brought an extra hand in Gill Grunt. They needed his water powers to put out any fires.
Vesta swiftly dodged an attack and grabbed the elves spear and ripped it away from their grip before snapping it like a twig in her powerful hands. Vesta then grabbed the elf and punched the elf with tremendous force launching the elf away into a tree subduing him.
Gill Grunt got to work on quenching the fire with his water gun. A powerful stream of water shot out and struck the flames which were spreading across the tree and making it's way onto the nearby trees. An elf tried to attack Gill Grunt and stop him but Hex managed to stop him summoning up a row of skeletons and blocking the elf from getting to him. Cynder fired off a bolt of lightning hitting two elves and sending them flying back. Vesta grabbed their feet with one hand each and threw them into some nearby trees taking them out.
Ouro swooped down and grabbed a second elf knocking his pear away and throwing him into Raider who threw a spinning kick at the flying elf and knocking him out cold. Pretty soon they had dealt with the elves and now the fire was the only problem. Gill Grunt was fighting to put the fire out but it was spreading too far and was out of reach of his gun.
"Here let us help c'mon Ouro" said Cynder.
The two dragons grabbed Gill Grunt and lifted him into the air so he could reach further. Down on the ground Vesta punched the trees trying to break them and move the trees away from each other. She threw a powerful right hook sending out splinters of woods in all directions. She threw another punch and half the tree trunk was already broke. She channelled all her strength in a third right hook punching right through the tree. The tree slowly began to crumble but Vesta grabbed the tree before it did and used her strength to hold it steady and move the tree away stopping the fire from spreading. Raider and Hex kept a close eye on the elves.
With their combined efforts the fire was soon extinguished. Ouro and Cynder lowered Gill Grunt back to the ground. Raider and Hex managed to round up the elves but s he was moving one of the elves something caught Raider's eye. The elf's shirt lifted a little revealing a mark on his body. It looked just like Ouro's mark. Two Circles one small circle and a large circle going around the small one. The small circle was white while the bigger one was black.
"Ouro you better come look at this" said Raider.
"what is it?" asked Ouro.
"just come here" said Raider.
Ouro shrugged her shoulders and came over to see what he was talking about. She took one look at the mark and her mouth went wide in shock.
"that's just like your mark, what is it?" asked Raider.
"I don't know" replied Ouro.
She moved closer to get a closer look and suddenly the elf's eyes opened and he lashed out grabbing her shoulder.
"the order is moving, we will not hide in shadows no more precious child" said the elf, his eyes going shut again.
When the words precious child hit her ears Ouro's head went fuzzy and she could hear voices in the back of her head. The image of a crowd of people surrounded the young dragon flashed into her head. The vision was too much for her, Ouro's legs went weak and Ouro collapsed to the ground. Raider rushed to check on her.
"we need to get her back to the Academy" said Raider.
"what happened?" asked Cynder.
"that mark on the elf, she saw it and then he said something and she just collapsed, judging by how she reacted I'm guessing it wasn't anything good, sounds like this is just the beginning" said Raider.
