Spyro went outside in front of the academy in an annoyed manner, as he was about to eat a sandwich. All of the students were called and were waiting for Eon's arrival. He complained "Why did we called us here during lunchtime? Don't they know it's my favorite time to eat?" "Me too!", added Pop Fizz, "Alongside breakfast, dinner, and my night eating."

Meanwhile, inside the dragon's mind, the purple dragon was heavily depressed. He couldn't do anything to stop his dark self. Neither could he try to call his friends. He could only lie around, waiting for the time his old friends discover his betrayal.

Eruptor asked Sprocket "Do you know what's going on?" The tech Skylander answered "Well, I'm not sure, but I've heard rumors that the academy may get inspected, and we'll have to prove the place is safe and well-managed. Otherwise, he might close the academy." The black dragon didn't really care given his mission, but had to pretend. "That'd be terrible!", said he right before taking a taste of his sandwich. "Not as much as the taste of this sandwich, though..."

He started to fly higher to search for something, until he had an idea. He called out one of the cadets. "Hey, Food Fight? Would you mind sending me a tomato for my sandwich?" The green Skylander answered happily. "Coming right your way!" He started to aim, but needed to take a few steps back. However, he didn't look and bumped into Hex, which caused him to fire by mistake. The tomato, sent at full speed, hit Eon as he arrived on his podium, causing him to fall unconscious. All the students gasped.

Food Fight was horrified. "Master Eon! It's my fault, sorry guys..." Jet-Vac, second figure of authority at the academy, reassured him. "That alright, you didn't mean to... We'll go check on him, please don't blame yourself for that!"

Sprocket helped Team Spyro, sans Stealth Elf, to bring Eon to his bed. She then appeared heavily concerned. "I'm afraid Eon has been knocked out and will stay like this for most of the day. And if he's not there to greet the inspector, the academy won't be a thing anymore..." Jet-Vac was surprised as he thought there'd be another way. "But what about Kaossandra?"

"She's not there...", answered Eruptor. "She told me she had to go to the veterinary with her hydra, it apparently swallowed something bad. I don't think she could come back before this evening."

While the situation seemed hopeless, Sprocket had an idea. "My Power Transporter! We can use it to control Eon's body and greet the inspector that way! We'll just need two people to do so." Jet-Vac volunteered. "I'm going! I won't let the academy down! Spyro, you should come with me! Eon would want to!"

The dark dragon was surprised. "Why me? I may not be the best person for that..." Eruptor added "Well, Eon would trust you, and since he raised you, you'd be able to make a good job pretending to be him. Besides, since Stealth Elf is away, we don't really have another option..."

The dragon still wanted to avoid. "Why can't Jet-Vac go alone?" Sprocket answered "We tried that once before, it didn't go well..." She then whispers at him "I won't bother you with details, but know that Pop Fizz hasn't always been like that." He looked at the blue gremlin as he was removing quarters from his ears. "Wow! How long have these been in there?"

Jet-Vac tried to motivate te dragon. "Spyro, we all trust you. This is a huge responsability! We'll have the fate of the academy and we'll can use Eon's powers, so not everyone can go there." The last detail convinced him and made him much more optimistic. "What a responsability!Alright, then! Let's quit talking and go to the adventure!"

Sprocket took out her machine at Jet-Vac's classroom. Without anyone noticing, Spyro put the puzzle box inside Eon's pocket. "Alright! Jet-Vac, Spyro, you stand on that side! Pop Fizz, Eruptor, please put Eon on the other one!" Everyone took their position. "I just hope it'll go better than last time."

"Why, what happened?" "Instead of teleporting the people, it completely removed them from existence. Oh well..." She activates the machine despite Spyro and Jet-Vac's fear before checking on Eon.

Eon's body started to move and he started to talk, although that was due to Spyro and Jet-Vac trying to figure out how to make it work. Sprocket tried to calm them down "You'll have a bit of time to figure out! Please do your best!"

Afterwards, Eon's body went back to his office while still trying to figure out how to walk that way. Jet-Vac and Spyro were still arguing as the mabu inspector arrived. "I hate to interrupt yourself, but I'm here for the inspection." The master answered. "Ah, of course! Welcome! I'll be happy to show you the place!" However, it was clear that his movements weren't natural as the two people inside his head struggled.

The supposed Eon made the inspector visit the kitchen of Team Spyro's home. "The academy always get new supplies of quality food, so our students can always be of great health! Well... sometimes, Pop Fizz asks to keep rotten food for his work, but that's all." As Jet-Vac was busy talking to the inspector, Spyro secretly took out the box, quietly saying: "So... let's try the magnetism power..." He tries to use the power to make the box react, but it doesn't work. It did send a frying pan against the wall, right over the inspector who didn't see. Jet-Vac wondered what just happened.

The next stop was the academy's garden, where Eon had to assure that they were taken care of with care. Again, the dragon had an idea. "So... let's try to light power, then." He tries to aim a beam of light at the box, but Jet-Vac notices and try to stop it, thinking Spyro goofed. One of them was close to hit the inspector, who again, didn't notice and focused on the man's strange behaviour. Seeing the inspector going to the next stop, Jet-Vac got furious and Spyro lyed about it. "It's not my fault, Jet-Vac! It's not easy to control someone else's body!"

Meanwhile, the light Spyro only got even more sorrowul. "Oh great... Now the idiot that I am will probably get the academy closed... I'm an even worse threat than any villain of Skylands! Could it be any worse?"

After a very long day, the inspector concluded. "Well, that was one of my most special inspections. Especially given that I had to check on you the whole time... So, the result is... you pass, but not by much!" Both Jet-Vac and Spyro were relieved. "Now what am I gonna do...? Maybe I'll just do another surprise inspection at the public library!"

Once he was gone, Jet-Vac let his anger out. "Were you insane, Spyro? You could've hurt him and the academy would've closed!"

Purple Spyro answered, even though he knows that his friend can't hear him. "Yes, Jet-Vac! I'm aware that I'm a foolish idiot! You should punch me in the face, I deserve it..."

The black dragon, however, continued to lye. "Jet-Vac, I swear, it was all an accident...". Jet-Vac changed the subject. "Let's see Sprocket so we can get out of here. We'll talk about this later!"

Sprocket called them to undo the effect of her machine. "You did great, guys! But I think you'll be happy to get out of here. So let's do this..." Before she could activate the machine, something landed on it with a huge shock.

"Master Eon! Are you two okay? ... Wow, that sounded weird!" The master got up. "Yeah, we're alright, what happened?"

Eruptor arrived in panic "Guys, there's an emergency! Golden Queen is causing havoc in town, turning everything she sees in gold! She already got most of our cadets!" Sprocket looked closer. "So that explains the golden sheep that crashed on the machine..."

Eruptor added "Pop Fizz and I will try to defeat her!" Jet-Vac answered. "Once we're out of here, you can count on our help!" "Uh, guys...?" Sprocket said worried. "I'm afraid you're stuck here until I fix the machine." They both got scared. "How long will this last?" Sprocket thought a few seconds before answering "A more or less close future!"

Jet-Vac had no choice but to go on town in Eon's body to see Golden Queen attacking, dragging Spyro along. "What is your problem, Golden Queen?"

"This stupid Kaos trapped me in a bubble and I was slowly drifting away in the skies for what seemed like years. And I can't stand being locked! Thankfully, a pirate ship that most likely lost its way popped it, allowing me to finally express my frustrations!" Jet-Vac thought. "A pirate ship? It was probably Kaos..."

Eruptor and Pop Fizz were quick to attack her. "Don't think we won't stay there doing nothing!" However, both their lava powers and potions couldn't harm her because she was using a forcefield that prevented her from getting damaged. Meanwhile, Spyro and Jet-Vac struggled to find anything to do inside Eon's body until Jet-Vac thought of something. "The dissolvolution spell! We can use it to break her forcefield. It's so powerful that it can break anything!" The dragon had an interested smile. "Anything, really...?" He took out the box and threw it close on the ground.

Eruptor and Pop Fizz continued to try to fight, but the forcefield reflected them back and weakened both of them. Pop Fizz felt forced to comment "Wow! Beaten by our own attacks! It has quite a nice irony to it...". They both had trouble moving which allowed Golden Queen to be close to transform them in statues.

Seeing this, Jet-Vac hurried. "I'll tell the incantation and you'll aim! But this spell will use most of Eon's energy, so we only have one shot!" The black dragon got worried. "One shot? Are you sure?"

Deep inside Dark Spyro's mind, Spyro heard that. Despite his very negative mindset, he couldn't just stand there as two of his best friends being in danger and dependent of him. "I am not gonna just stay around in a situation like this! I have to save my friends!". As Jet-Vac focused on the energy, Dark Spyro got scared of the situation, repeating in his mind: "Do I open the box...? Do I save them...?"

Spyro had a very determined feeling, yelling "I have to SAVE THEM!" As he did, a weird purple glow surrounded him. This had the effect to give Dark Spyro a determined face and he decided to give up on his current goal and aim for Golden Queen, breaking her protection and defeating her, which caused all of her victims to turn back to normal. Eruptor and Pop Fizz went back on their feet and captured her with the help of the cadets.

Spyro couldn't believe what just happened. "I... did it! I finally managed to do something good! Maybe the situation isn't that hopeless after all...". Spyro felt much better after being heroic again for so long and realized he could continue that.

Jet-Vac started to hold a smile as well. "You know... Despite what happened earlier, I must say I really missed working with you!" The dragon was touched. "Thanks! It's good to be back..." Surprisingly, it was only half a lie from the evil dragon.

In the evening, Sprocket managed to fix the machine. "All set! Let's get you out of here!" She activated it and Eon fell on the ground, regaining conciousness.

"What happened...? I feel like I have a huge headache." Eruptor and Pop Fizz held him. "All is fine, Master Eon! We'll explain the whole thing once you got more energy." He then got worried. "What about the inspection?" Sprocket talked "It's been taken care of! Again, we'll explain you later. But we have to thank our two friends for that!" Then the whole group screamed as they saw the two.

A much higher-pitched sounding Spyro talked, saying. "Uh, Sprocket... How to explain...?" Both him and Jet-Vac have been turned tiny.

Thankfully for the heroic dragon, this little predicament didn't break his newfound optimism.
