3. Perilous Pastures

When Spyro returned to the Citadel, he was horrified at what he saw. The other 31 Skylanders were the same way. The Citadel was in ruins! And the Core of Light was completely gone! "Thank the portals we made it back in one piece!" Hugo sighed, completely relieved. "With the Core gone, Skylands is in great danger! I'm sure that tornado was no accident. This is clearly the work of Kaos!" Flynn growled. "Kaos. Oh, that guy really grinds my gears. If you're taking him down, count me in!" "Glad to hear it!" Hugo said. "Cali agreed to help too!" Oh No. Spyro thought. When Flynn heard about Cali, he would talk about her and never shut up! Cali was a tough warrior and trained the Skylanders. "Cali? Ah, Cali!" Flynn said. "If she's involved in this, count me double in!" So, the Skylanders and Flynn went to Cali's last known location: Perilous Pastures.

Hence the name, the area was indeed perilous, with Drow, evil elves, and Chompie Pods, plants that produced Chompies. Spyro, Trigger Happy, Gill Grunt, Stealth Elf, Cynder, Eruptor, Terrafin, and Whirlwind were all sent to find, and possibly rescue Cali. When they found her, she had been captured by Drow! Stealth Elf manned the nearby cannon after taking out the Drow on it while the others defended it. She was able to free Cali by shooting the 4 locks on the gate. "I guess not every lock needs a key." Stealth Elf said. "Boomer would definitely agree! YEAHAHAHAHAHA!" Trig said after dealing with the last Drow. Even though they were elves, Stealth Elf didn't mind taking them out. The team, except the flying Skylanders, boarded Flynn's balloon and headed back to the Ruins.

"BACK! BACK, YOU VILE BEASTS!" Hugo yelled as he ran for his life from…. Sheep. Yes, sheep. "Not again." Spyro groaned. Hugo always claimed that sheep were "The most feared creatures of Skylands". What he saw in them he would never know. Boomer, however, loved sheep. Mostly using them for target practice. For his explosives. Yeah, they hated that. "Well, focusing on the important things, I found the blueprints to the Core of Light!" Hugo exclaimed. He turned to some odd markings in the ground. "If we can rebuild the Core of Light, it should stop Kaos!" After clearing some bramble, Hugo was able to use the Far Viewer to locate the Eternal Air Source. But its location had winds far too intense for Flynn's balloon to handle. So, they needed a propeller powerful enough to resist the winds. Luckily, Cali knew exactly where to find one.
