Chapter 5
Spyro instructed the Cadets to search around for clues, while he himself decided to figure out who this mystery figure was and just how he got away, "now, where to begin?" Spyro asked himself as he picked up Cynder's necklace and held it close to his chest, "if only Eruptor were here with his detective ability" Spyro sighed as he continued his search. "Whoever attacked came through the roof (hence the giant hole), but must've left a different path, then a light bulb flickered in Spyro's mind "the trackers!" Spyro gasped as he remembered now, he placed trackers in his mate's braces ever since the incident with Dark Spyro and Dark Cynder, he could track wherever she went, "Cadets: stick here, I've got an idea" Spyro instructed as he took one of the SuperChargers to his old dorm. While it was old, he could still upload the tracking system into the computer in his room, suddenly a purple tracker dot flared up on a map of the Skylands, "bingo!" Spyro grinned as he pinpointed the location, it's somewhere off in one of the corners of the Skylands, near...Kassondra's castle? Why there?" Spyro was baffled as to why the myster figure would be near there, "could it be Kaos? No, he hasn't tried anything since Spider-Man broke his arm awhile back" Spyro shook his head, still confused, "well, whoever it is, I can now find Cynder, and the others, maybe even Eon". Spyro downloaded the tracker's location into his smart device (phone, to be specific, and not the same phone that Spidey gave them at the end of Worlds Collide), and returned to the Cadets, "everyone, I've located the other Skylanders, I'm going there now, stay here and protect the Academy, there could be more attacks" Spyro instructed as he used prepared to depart rom the Grand Library, "wait, Spyro, before you go...good luck" one of the Cadets gave him a sign of luck as Spyro nodded in response and took the SuperCharger to find Cynder and the others, "I'll find her, I know I will".
"Now, where to begin? Ah yes, bring me my staff!" Gaul commanded his ape minions to bring he staff to him, "now to make you suffer!" Gaul pointed his staff at the Skylanders, and they immediately screeched in pain. "Stop!" Gaul heard Cynder's voice echo from her cage as the helpless dragoness watched her friends getting tortured. "I told you I would make you suffer, traitor! I've done so, if these are the protectors of this land? Then I take pity on this world" Gaul turned his back to Cynder as he overlooked an army of apes from his throne room, "how are you even alive, Gaul? Spyro told me you were disintegrated" Cynder asked while growling all the same, "indeed I was, traitor, but the whelpling was not entirely successful, it appeared fate had other ideas, as I was reborn, here, in these lands, rebuilt piece by piece until I was resurrected by one of this world's villains, I presume you've met Dark Spyro?" Gaul asked as Cynder gasped in utter shock, "Dark Spyro resurrected you? It must've been a few days before we tried to capture him" Cynder muttered the last part to herself, "indeed he did, and now, I'm at enough strength to conquer this world, for my fallen master, Malefor" Gaul chuckled as Cynder grimaced, "Dark Spyro tried this as well, and we stopped him, what makes you think you won't?" Cynder growled as Gaul looked her way, "because, traitor, he was not nearly as powerful as I was, and I assure you, I won't fail" Gaul "I'll be a god!" He laughed manically, "there's only one God, and he wouldn't like this, not one bit" Cynder spitted in front of Gaul, "regardless, take them away" Gaul ordered his apes, and they did so, "oh Spyro, I hope your coming soon" Cynder curled up, and decided she would rest to get her strength back, she knew Spyro was coming, she didn't doubt it, and she was waiting.
