Author's Notes:

Hey all, I know I sound like a broken record but, thanks you guys so much for giving my story some attention, I really appreciate it. If any are not sure or didn't read the foot notes of last chapter (Chapter 2) I am still interested in maybe doing a side project with Jester. So, message me if you have any ideas or if there is a certain fanfic that you would be interested in seeing Jester take part of. As for the guesses for who Jester is send them via instant message so the reviews don't get packed.

Just and FYI for this chapter…

This is my attempt at trying to write an action scene and just going to give it to all of you straight.

I have zero confidence in writing this. This is the first time that I ever really tired it out and I hope it isn't too bad. Other than that, I am slowly but surely gaining confidence in my writing and I loved reading the reviews that you guys send me. Finally, I am still looking for an editor for this story so if anyone is interested please send me an IM so that we could work out the details.

Last thing I want to say is about locations. Most of them are based off the show but I may have drawn some inspiration from the games. Also, I am intentionally not giving the right name to some 'places'. The reason for this is that saying it would give away a lot of information, so I am writing it from the characters perspective. Hope this doesn't trigger anyone. Thanks again for supporting this story.

Enjoy the Show

Chapter 3: The path we choose and the one I take

Spyro's Dream

I awoke to find myself laying on some large stone platform. I looked around quickly to observe my surroundings only to find something stranger then waking up in a dream. 'Wait a minute the last thing that I remember was going to sleep in my room how is it that I woke here? Is this Kaos's doing?' Spyro thinks himself. When Spyro tried to move he found himself being unable to do so and his head turns left and right without him telling it to do so. 'Wait a minute I remember this feeling!' Spyro thought as he mentally shook himself. 'It's just like the weird dream I had earlier, but I was somewhere else last time and now this time I am here.'

Looking around Spyro could see that his surroundings had a familiar look to him. The place was filled with small floating islands all over the place and each one seemed to be hovering or moving from one way to another. The islands were all mostly flat and had nothing on them they were just platforms that could hold ten or so people on it and have very little room for anything else. A few other islands had what looked like to be remains of some old building. The thing that made Spyro uneasy was the sky. It was a dark color mixed with blues and yellows and some hints of purple all around. It was weird because he couldn't find any source of light, but he could see everything crystal clear. His head turned up and down and for the first time in Spyro's life he got a feeling of vertigo. The 'sky' that he saw earlier seemed to stretch down infinitely in all directions. He has seen endless sky in Skylands before, but this was something else. It felt as though the world was moving and still at the same time and didn't look big but at the same time Spyro knew that this place was endless with no way of telling where you are going or how to get back.

After looking down Spyro noticed something in the distance below him. The 'island' that he saw looked very different then the ones that he saw. It looked like a part of a destroyed ancient temple but there was something in the center of the 'island' on the floor. Upon looking at it again, Spyro found out that the thing was a circular plate of some sort that was emitting a soft red light. This piqued Spyro's interest and for some reason he felt drawn to this island. Without warning, Spyro's body runs off the edge of the 'island' that he was on in the direction of the island of interest. Upon his body doing this Spyro remembered that for some reason he couldn't fly in his dream and panic flooded his mind. He wanted to close his eyes when doing this so that he couldn't see his fall, but his eyes remained open, unmoving from the apparent destination. When suddenly Spyro felt his wings spread open and he felt the wind slow down past his face and the vision of him falling starts to slow. 'So, I cannot fly, but I can glide? What kind of weird logic is that?'

It was this question that made Spyro realize something. When his head had turned to the side going around some moving islands that were in the way he saw 'his wings' for the first time. They were the same color as his wings and the same general shape and everything but nowhere near the same size. This normally would freak Spyro out but oddly enough he knew that these where his own wings, despite them being so different from the last time he looked at them. It was a weird feeling knowing this from out of nowhere. His thoughts felt like his own, but they didn't feel like they were coming from him. After looking at them and guiding down for only a couple of seconds Spyro started to feel his wings and at that moment he wish he hadn't. They felt like they were in extreme pain, like his own wings were trying to rip themselves off him and fly away. Only this didn't seem possible even if he could be separated from them since they also felt very heavy. Like the bones inside them feel like they are four times heavier then they should be. No wonder why he couldn't fly, gliding took all the effort that he had and then some.

Spyro landed shortly after and felt very relived in doing so, not knowing how much longer his wings would last him. Upon looking around Spyro could see the fallen temple like thing more closely. It had several markings carved on the standing walls and some of the fallen ones as well, however most were faded and looked to be completely unrecognizable. Even if this weren't the case Spyro doubts that they could tell him anything since the few he could make out as clear, he didn't know how to read. His body started to walk towards the center where the glowing plate was and stopped right in front of it. At this moment, the second most bazar thing happened since he had this dream. Spyro heard a deep male voice echo from the distance, telling him "look closely at the pool and tell me what you see." In any normal circumstance Spyro would be extremely alarmed by this and would not do as he is asked for many reasons, one of them being that he doesn't like listening to disembodied voices that he didn't know was there telling him to do something that sounds weird. But, because Spyro was not in charge of his body, he didn't listen to himself and instead listened to the voice. ' Go figure' Spyro thought.

Upon approaching the now called mirror, Spyro's head bends down and he gets the first real look at himself. Spyro was very shocked. 'Okay I seriously need to reconsider which thing since I had this dream is the scariest for me, because this just took the cake.' The reflection that he saw showed Spyro that he indeed was a different person that just looked very similar to him. His face was shaped differently it had a more circular like shape to it where as his was a bit flatter and more angular. His horns were also a little different since his was more facing out wards making a big U with his horns while the reflection showed that the horns curved back behind his head. The thing that caught Spyros attention the most was that his eyes were a different color. They are a deep shade a purple instead of his normal red eyes.

After getting a good look at this new Spyro, the real Spyro, or the one that was not in control of the other Spyro's body, decided that he had enough weird stuff happen to him in one dream and really wanted to get out. 'Man, I really got to think of a way to call this other me, otherwise this is going to be confusing. Okay I am going to call the me in the mirror Other Spyro.' Doing this kind of 'talking' with himself reminded Spyro of him meting his other eviler half, Dark Spyro. The memory of that time started to resurface as Spyro investigates the pool, and suddenly he can see himself when he was Dark Spyro. It was only glimpses, but Spyro could never forget the look of his evil half. The look in his eyes made Spyro mentally shiver, remembering exactly how he felt when he first turned. Upon seeing this Spyro recalled the feelings he felt when turned to his darker side. He remembered his hatred for the Skylanders and Eon, he remembered the surge of power that he got when his light was stolen. These emotions swelled inside of him, but one emotion stood above the rest, his anger. He remembers being so angry and Eon for lying to him for his whole life, and how Eon was responsible for sending his kind, his family away from Skylands forever. This anger was filling Spyro's mind and it was soon all that he could think about.

"Feel the fire that courses through you." Spyro felt this feeling of anger spread though his entire body and he felt like he was slowly being lifted off the ground. "Let the fire course through your self but don't let it consume you." It wasn't till now the Spyro realized that the voice from earlier was speaking to him and that he realized that Other Spyro had his eyes closed and he could feel his anger taking shape around Other Spyro's body. Only that Spyro could feel it as well. He felt like his entire body was heating up getting hotter. Taking the voices advice seemed weird but he agreed he shouldn't let his anger control him. "Now breath out and let your fire go." Spyro felt like he just took a deep breath collecting all his anger in one place in his mind and let it out. Upon doing this he felt in Other Spyro's body that all the heat that he felt earlier had left him and was flowing out in a rush. Time seemed to slow down from Spyro's point of view and he could slowly start to see again as his eyelids were opening.

Skylanders Academy

Spyro slowly opened his eyes seeing the light that came from his window. Blinking a few times, he starts to yawn slowly waking himself up. The dream that he just had was fresh in his mind, pondering why he even had that dream to begin with. Thinking further Spyro thought about the other dream he had before he encountered Jester. In that dream, Other Spyro had done nothing other than walk through a hall in some sort of ruined temple and stopped at a large door at the end of the hall. One of the symbols that Spyro saw on the door was the same one that appeared on Jesters clothes. 'That has to be a wild coincidence.' He thought. 'I mean how could I dream about something and see the same exact thing later in real life? I mean even no one else knew where the symbol came from. Maybe I did see it somewhere and just don't remember where. Yeah that's probably all it is.'

After pondering about this Spyro looked around the room and realized something was missing. Then it dawned on him that the 'something' was Kaos. Spyro started to look frantically around the room searching for the little guy. As he was doing this he ran by his mirror only to stop in his tracks. After the dream that he had, Spyro wanted to get a look at himself again just to see if anything had changed about himself. When he looked in the mirror, Spyro went wide eyed and screamed.

After hearing the scream Eruptor came rushing into his room. Upon looking at Spyro's room Eruptor noticed that the room was in a complete mess and Spyro was hiding under his sheets with his tail poking out. "What's wrong Spyro? I knew that Kaos couldn't be trusted."

Eruptor approached the bed and was about to remove the sheet when Spyro stopped him by pulling the sheet tighter to himself. "Don't Eruptor, you don't want to know what I look like right now." There was a pleading tone in Spyro's voice sounding like he is desperate for no one to look at him.

Eruptor felt sorry for Spyro, no one should have to deal with a pint-sized lunatic that can throw a tantrum over the tinniest of things. Despite this feeling and Spyro's wishes Eruptor lifts the sheet, "Come on Spyro, how can I help you when I don't know what hap…" Eruptor stopped mid-sentence after getting one look at Spyro.

It took everything that Eruptor had to not burst out laughing. Spyro's face looked like some amateur artist drew on him while Spyro slept. Spyros face had a curled mustache drawn on it and he had a monticule drawn around one eye. The fact that it didn't look well drawn made it even funnier to look at. "It's not that bad Spyro." Eruptor said while covering his mouth, clearly trying to suppress the laugh that was to come.

At this moment, Kaos entered the room to see what the commotion was all about only to see that it was about Spyro and what he done to his face. "Well good morning sleepy head. How are you doing this morning? It seems that you are very well dressed for such a fine day." As Kaos is saying these things he is walking around the room staring directly at Spyro the entire time, clearly stating that he was the one to do this to Spyro.

At this moment Spyro glared daggers at Kaos, in the hope that his stare might hurt the pint-sized guy. Spyro wanted to get back at him in some way, and after a moment of hesitation Spyro declared "Kaos what where you doing now? Aren't you supposed to be watched at all times?" Spyro put emphasis on the last two words to make a point in the hopes to get Kaos back for what he did to him.

Kaos's face changed form that of an amused look one has when taunting someone to the look one has when asked a stupid question. "I went to the bathroom for like three minutes doing my business. UNLESS, you wanted to be there, I took the liberty of taking care of that on my own. And before you say anything, I did try to wake you up, but you were out cold." Kaos made his final statement crossing his arms and turning around having his back facing the two Skylanders.

Popping out of thin air, Stealth Elf appears at Spyro's door quickly saying, "There you are guys you have to hurry, Kassondra just said that we got word of Jester showing up at a Mabu town." She then quickly disappears, leaving the people of the room with different reactions on there faces. She could remember each one individually and her gut told her what their faces meant. Eruptor's looked like he just heard the news to attack and was getting ready to fight. Kaos's face looked like someone had just said that an idol was walking by and he looked like the happiest a person could be. Spyro's face was that of determination but thinking back on it Stealth Elf saw that Spyro had his face dawn on in a funny manner that the facial expression that she saw forced her to laugh as she teleported to throughout the academy. She knew that this was totally not stealth like of her but now she needed speed to get to the meeting with the rest of the gang, and not stealth. She also felt a little sorry for Spyro, but she couldn't stop laughing.

Meanwhile back at Spyro's room, Eruptor had just left leaving Spyro and Kaos alone for a moment. Normally Spyro would try to avoid a mission right now because of what has happened to his face, but right now he wanted answers to things. This was twice in a row where Spyro had a weird dream and Jester shows up right afterwards. This can no longer be a coincidence, but Spyro has no way of confirming how Jester is a link to this or if he is the one responsible for Spyro's dreams. As Kaos was about to head out the door Spyro shouted "Wait Kaos!" This stopped Kaos in his tracks as he looks around clearly about to start something but right now Spyro wanted none of it and asked, "The marker that you used it wasn't permeant, right?" Kaos responds by just smiling wickedly without saying a word. Spyro sighs knowing that today was going to be a long and painful day.

The Meeting Hall

Kassandra and the rest of the room was warned by Stealth Elf that Kaos had drawn a funny doodle on Spyro's face, which Eruptor mentioned that Spyro was not happy about and really would apricate it if no one reacted to his appearance. Upon hearing this Kassondra sighed only thinking that this sounded exactly like Kaos and his handywork. Though she had doubts that Spyro's face would look funny since she thought she was more mature then the rest of the Skylanders. This thought changed when she saw Spyro and Kaos enter the room. Spyro had a look on him that clearly said that he was upset that normally would make him look very serious but combine the look he had with the doodle and it was just something totally unexpected that she had to cover her mouth to prevent herself from laughing. It took all her willpower to not burst out laughing, but she needed to convey the information she had so she decided that the best way to handle this situation was to not look at Spyro directly to avoid laughing. Meanwhile the rest of the gang followed suit except for Glumshanks and Kaos who had looks of pity and joy respectively.

"Ahem first off, I wanted to apologize for gathering you all in this way. I was looking for a megaphone or something to shout the whole 'Unite' thing, but Stealth Elf was nearby, so I had her do that for me." Kassondra says as she tries to keep the mood serious and cover a small fib. Truth is she just really couldn't bring herself to say 'Skylanders Unite' at the top of her lungs like Eon did. The reason being that she thought it was a little too tacky for her taste but really didn't want to say that to the Skylanders. "Anyways I got a distress call from a Mabu saying that strange creatures are attacking their village and need our help to get rid of them."

"Ah, forgive me for asking mother, but that doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Jester." Kaos says getting the rooms attention asking the very same thought they had but chose not to say figuring that Kassondra was about to get to that point.

Kassondra sighs "I was getting to that Kaos. The Mabu in the village reported that the creatures that attacked them had the letter J marked on their fronts and that a mysterious person looked to be calling the shots." This piqued the interest of everyone in the room. "I want all of you to go over there and stop the attacks. That includes Kaos, any questions?" She looks around the room getting the same looks from everyone. They all knew that they needed the extra help against this Jester guy but none of them wanted to work with Kaos willingly. Kaos on the other hand looked to have mixed feelings and Kassondra could probably guess why. He was excited to see this Jester guy for reasons being that Jester was his favorite comic, and at the same time hatted working with the Skylanders. Despite his mixed feelings, Kassondra hoped that the good in him would grow and that in time he would learn to like the Skylanders and the good the resides in him.

"Alright Skylanders, let's move out." Jet-Vac says with high enthusiasm. The rest of the team and Kaos then proceed to move out. Leaving Kassondra and Glumshanks behind.

At the Mabu Village

Upon arriving at the village, the Skylanders were at a loss for what they saw. Nearly half the village was destroyed, and the other half looked completely untouched. The buildings that were untouched were ones that had been built rather sturdy and didn't look like it would come down easy, while the ones that were destroyed had nothing left on them. The strangest thing about this sight was that no one was here. There were no Mabu, no monsters with J's on their front, and no Jester in sight. "Looks like were too late." Stealth Elf says looking upset at the mass destruction that is before her. Every one of the Skylanders looked down in defeat, thinking the same thing. All except Kaos.

"No wonder mother wanted me to help, you guys are pathetic." Kaos shouts at no one, gaining the attention of the entire group. "Did you all forget what I said about Jester? He is a master in shadow magic."

"I don't get it what is shadow magic? Is that were you put a light on your hand and start talking in a funny voice? Because if it's not then I don't like it." Pop Fizz asks to Kaos addressing his own confused thoughts.

Kaos gives Pop Fizz a questioning look, as if to express his confusion in Pop Fizz's question. "No, you fool, shadow magic…"

"Allows one to shape things reality essentially making what was there gone or, in the case, what isn't there is." A voice said coming from the direction of the rubble. The Skylanders recognized the voice to be Jester. "I am impressed that you caught on so quickly to my little shenanigans their little K. Then again it wasn't my finest work, so I am not complimenting you just wanted to know where you got the info." After saying these words, the buildings that were once destroyed no disappeared to reveal an army of what appeared to be a mixture of greebles, and spiders standing where the collapsed buildings once stood. There was something different about these monsters then the ones that the Skylanders normally fought, other than having a red J on their backs or in fronts. All of them looked like they were made of something like a shadow or a piece of darkness itself. Having weird dark grey like bodies and colorless eyes.

Kaos stepped closer to Jester addressing his question. "How could I not know, you explained in some detail how shadow magic worked in book #369. Also, the name is Kaos not little K." This made Jester looked shocked for a second as he clearly wasn't expecting that to be the little guys response.

"Ah yeah okay. So, wait a minute when you say book #369, you don't mean the comic book 'Jester' right?" Jester said sounding like he was really hopping for the answer to be no. The only response he gets is a nod from Kaos which makes Jester sigh and drop his shoulders. "Great so anyways, what are you doing here little K?" Jester asks making his intention clear that he isn't going to stop calling Kaos by that name.

"These losers asked me for help in taking you down and that is what I intend to do." Kaos says while showing confidence in his voice clearly showing that he thinks he could take Jester down.

"No." Jester says with a clear flat tone showing no emotion on his face. "No, you will not and for three reasons." Jester uses his hand as he counts the reasons out loud "First, I only invited the Skylanders to this game of mine and you were not and are not invited to participate. Second, I don't think, no scratch that, I know you will not be able to help in any way whatsoever in this game of mine. Third and finally, if you don't do anything to interfere with my rules or game again little K, I will give you the only copy of the first 'Jester' book, after the little game is over." After finishing this last stamen Kaos falls silent clearly caught up in a dilemma. On one hand he could try to defeat the Jester the legend of evil comics, on the other he could get the only copy of the very first 'Jester' comic book.

After pondering things over in his head, Kaos decides, "Welp I tired, got you guys a little info and that is all that I am doing, so good luck with all of that." The rest of the team just looks at Kaos wide mouthed shocked what Kaos just said. It was not that Kaos betrayed them that shocked them, they had kind of expected that. No, it was the fact that he betrayed them over a single comic book.

"No that he is out of the way how about I explain to you what this is all about. I remembered how when we first met you all tried to attack me after I said that I didn't want to fight." Jester says with a sly smile on his face making it clear that he has more to say. "Well this time, I want to see you all fight your hardest for me." He says as his little mini army start moving around to encircle the Skylanders. "The rules for this game is simple. The winner is the last one standing any tricks or techniques is allowed only from the players no outside help."

Upon hearing this news, the Skylanders get ready for all of them to attack. Only for Jester to smile at them in and say in a sing song voice, "Ready? Go!"

All at once the monsters started to attack the Skylanders from all sides. Forcing each Skylander to fight amongst themselves. Stealth Elf was the first to attack true to her ninja like nature. She teleported all around to confuse her opponents to the suddenly slice into the shadowy figure. But when here blade was supposed to hit something it instead slashes through the entire creature making it dissipate into thin air. The next one to attack was Jet-Vac readying his air gun to fire several bullets all at once each one hitting its mark and causing the shadowy monsters poof into air. Eruptor and Pop Fizz were next on the offensive to unleash a barrage of lava and explosive potions all at once taking out many of the monsters out all at once. Spyro was the last one to act, flying straight into the air to fire several balls of fire at them all at once finishing off the rest of the monsters. The Skylanders look at each other seeing that no one got hurt and that none of them seemed to even break a sweat. "Is that all you got Jester? Because if it is then this is going to be over faster than I thought." Stealth Elf taunts.

Jester remains calm despite the obvious taunt. In his mind he couldn't help but laugh as he cannot wait to see the Skylanders expression when they find out. "What are you talking about Elfy? I hope you don't think that this game is over just yet." Jester says with a calm smile on his face. "After all, I have yet to fall down meaning that the game still goes on." As he says this Jester fans out his arms and a grey mist starts filling up the field. "And just to remind you the rules are that any trick or technique is allowed so long as they come from people who are playing. AKA me and the rest of you… minus little K." Jester says the last part looking for the little guy only to find him far away. Kaos at the time looked like he was greatly enjoying himself resting on a lawn chair. "How that little guy finds the most convenient things at the oddest of times, always amazes me." The mist that formed around the Skylanders started to take shape as if the mist was being forced into a mold. From the new shape they appear to be the same exact enemies that they had just defeated. "Tell you what since I know you all cannot win by knocking me down I will propose an alternate win condition just for you." After saying this mockingly to the Skylanders Jester starts to float in the air. "If any of you can 'knock me down' to the ground then you win, and I will withdraw my shadow minions."

With this information the Skylanders realize that they are in trouble. With a majority of the Skylanders being unable to fly that leave only Spyro to try to knock him out of the air. The team gives him the silent nod of approval, telling Spyro that they got the ground covered and he should focus on Jester. This would have been great had it not been for the fact that his team was also laughing at the doodle on his face. Spyro was really starting to get angry with his team. He knew he didn't look good, but everyone kept on laughing at him whenever he was trying to be serious or helpful. Kassandra was no help when she all but broke out laughing. Stealth Elf could be heard laughing as she was teleporting outside. Then the little bastard that did this to him just got to walk away and avoid this whole fight. This whole day has done nothing other than make Spyro angry and he needed to blow off some steam.

Spyro flew into the air firing balls of fire at Jester from a distance. He kept on moving fast to prevent Jester from being able to hit him with anything. Unlike the last time in which it appears Jester couldn't be hit, Jester was dodging the balls of fire whenever he could. This was a bit troubling for Spyro. On one hand, this meant that Jester was either unable to defend himself using magic while controlling an army and flying at the same time. On the other hand, none of Spyro's fireballs were hitting the target, meaning that Jester was fast enough to doge the fireballs from a distance. This gave Spyro the idea to try attacking up close. However, upon getting closer to Jester he freezes in mid motion and stares at Spyro, with a questioning look on his face. Spyro takes this opportunity to fire a ball of fire right at Jester's face. With a quick puff, Spyro's ball of fire managed to hit the target square in the face forming a small cloud of smoke right where Jester stood. This got Spyro to shout a quick "Bullseye" before he realized that he didn't see Jester's body fall to the ground. In the blink of an eye, the cloud of smoke disappears to reveal that Jester is unharmed and now looks at Spyro intently again as he is looking for something.

Jester then looks down and says in a very clear tone, "That confirms it." He looks up at Spyro in the eyes and gives what Spyro can tell before Jester even says anything else that the next words he says are coming straight from his heart. "I really do feel sorry for you."

At of all the things that Jester could have done, or said, after seeing Spyro's face, he just expressed his sympathy for Spyro. Just then something inside of Spyro broke, like the final straw that broke the camels back or the last drop that causes the damn to burst. To think that the villain that he was fighting showed sympathy for him while everyone else just laughs at him. Spyro was hurt, he never believed that this could ever happen. After what felt like an eternity Spyro realized that what really hurt him wasn't his feelings but rather his pride.

'How dare this villain show sympathy for me when my friends showed me none. How dare Kaos do this to me and get away with nothing at all.' As these thoughts were inside Spyros mind several events were happening. The first event that the Skylanders noticed was that the shadow minions had stopped moving altogether, as if frozen in place. This cause the Skylanders to stop attacking and look to see what was happening in the sky with Jester and Spyro. What they saw made them go silent. Spyro was just floating in mid air without flapping his wings, and instead was curling them around himself as if to protect himself. The second event was that the air around the Skylanders was getting hot, and soon they realized that the source of the heat was coming form Spyro as a faint red light was starting to grow around Spyro. The Skylanders soon realized that the shadow minions from before quickly transformed back into the grey mist they were before and move quickly back to Jester to surround himself with it as if to shield himself from the heat.

Spyro's mind went blank and any thought that he tried to from seemed to be consumed by something inside himself. His now empty mind was now filled with only one thing, only one emotion. His rage. He felt the anger that was inside him, felt it course through his whole body as if his rage was developing outside of him and swallowing him whole. His eyes were now closed but the visions in his head were clear. He sees several moments in his life flash before him all of them are different memories, but they all shared the same thing. They were times in which he was filled with anger. It was then that Spyro recalled his time when he was turned evil and the anger from then felt overwhelming compared to the rest, like trying to stuff to many things into a bag. The anger was slowly getting bigger as the memories of that time grew more frequent and more vivid. It was then that Spyro remembered the mysterious voice from his dream "Don't let the fire consume you, and breath out letting your fire go." Spyro took a long slow deep breath, and let it out…

The fire consumed all.

Spyro's Dream

When Spyro awoke he was lying on the ground not recognizing where he was. He remembered the visions of anger that he had felt and letting it out but that was the last thing he could remember. Spyro thought that he was in another one of those weird dreams again because he was surrounded by nothing. Just a black surface that he was standing on. He shook his head to try to wake himself up when he realized that he was in control of his body. Astonished by this Spyro tested his wings and flew up into the air. The clouds looked dark but not the same endlessness that he saw earlier in his dream. As he was flying up he looked down at where he just came from and a look of horror had come across his face. The entire island that he was on was destroyed. There was nothing left, no buildings, no trees, no plants, no people. The last thought came to him slowly as he frantically searched the entire island, or what was left of it for any signs of life.

"Elf! Eruptor! Jet-Vac! Pop!" Each name that Spyro shouted became more desperate then the last making him panic and worry. "Kaos! Anybody!" Silence was the only response that Spyro got. He knew that this was his doing, Spyro doesn't know how but he knew he was responsible for this. He never really chose to be evil before due to how Strykore stole his light. He told Cynder that people are evil because they chose to be with their actions. Spyro never chose to be evil, but right now he just destroyed everything blinded by his own rage.

"What have I done?"
