Academy Chronicles: Rise of the Skylanders
Chapter 12: Spyro the Dragon
With the opening of the Dreamcast's doors, me, the other Disciples, Makoto and Kyoko walked off the ship to be greeted with the prestigious Skylanders Academy. For me and the Disciples, this is nothing new to me.
Where I live now, it's pretty much the same. So it's comfortable. I bet for Makoto and Kyoko, though, this is mind-blowing. They're standing on a giant island in the sky with this beautifully build structure. Walking around the campus are tons of mystical creatures. From dragons like Spyro, to gremlins like Trigger Happy and everything in between, the Skylanders are the most versatile hero team I have ever seen.
…And I'm glad to be a part of them, in a sense. I'm just a Skylander from another plane of existence.
Walking to my side, Sonic looked around.
"Keep an eye out for any Purple Dragons. We need to report to Spyro. He's gotta help." He said to me and the others.
Makoto meanwhile stepped out, he seemed sad, but that expression was also merged with that of wonder. What was he thinking?
I then turned to the others, noticing a certain member of our crew missing.
"Hey… where did Pop go?" I asked.
Sure enough, our unpredictable alchemist gremlin has run off on his own. He really needs to stop doing that. His attention span's as worse as Neptune's!
Yeah, as if that could even be possible.
I then heard chatting in the distance: Loud chatting in a distinctive, scratchy voice that seemed to fluctuate in tone. Yeah, no mistaking it. That's Pop Fizz.
I urge the others to follow me as we made it to where the sound came from.
We ran off to a field to the right of our landing point. It led to a grassy field with a fairy floating in a nearby corner, waiting to give Skylanders their upgrades named Persephone.
Lo and behold, not too far off from Persephone is Pop Fizz.
Not just one Pop Fizz, though… but two.
"Wow, you look like me!" One Pop Fizz said.
"Wow, you look like me, as well!" The other replied.
"How is that possible, dude? Did that cloning potion work…?" He said to the other.
"Because I'm you from another multiverse, dude!" Our Pop Fizz explained.
The two then began to scream happily, flailing madly.
Guess he didn't know of us.
"Well, well. When I heard of two Pop Fizzes, I had a feeling it was you guys."
A voice made it to our ears, immediately getting our attention. Sonic was the first to turn around to the voice's direction with a grin.
Standing before us was a purple dragon with bronze accents for places like his horns, spikes and chest. That is who we're looking for. The leader of the Skylanders.
Spyro the Dragon.
Sonic walked forward, hand raised.
"Hey, Spyro! Long time no see!" He said.
Spyro's wing raised up, the hand and the wing colliding for the equivalent of a high-five. Sonic and Spyro have shared quite a good relationship since our arrival to this multiverse. They helped us quite a bit in several adventures.
That's for another story, though… Have we already said that?
"So, what brings you all, here?" Spyro asked.
"Well, to put it simply… LOSE has come here, and we need to figure out why." Sonic explained.
Spyro put his claws against his chin, stroking them across his scaled skin.
"Hmmm… Got it. Let's report this to Eon." He tells us, urging us to follow.
