Okay, I keep forgetting to do Shadow's description, but I've redone my avatar again, and that's what she looks like now. I have two more OCs, Gronk27's Strangleweed and the Anonymous' dragon-volcano guy who was going to be the Guardian, but I have made him into the Elder instead, who I have decided to call Pyroscor (pronounced pie-ro-score). Thanks to eveyone who submitted an OC, but I still need a Wind Elder/Guadrian, a Life Elder, a Tech Elder/Guardian, a Earth Elder/Guardian, a I'm going to switching between the different teams, so Undead team P.O.V. just means Cynder's team, while Fire team P.O.V. means that it's Sunburn's team. And late Happy New Year.
"Well, that was... eventful... to say the least." muttered Quickstorm.
"You did sign up to become a Skylander." Kairn reminded him, as they followed Cynder, Shadow and Sonic Boom.
After battling the Black Widow, they had come to another chasm, with a high cavern roof.
There had been precarious platform's that fell apart just as you landed on them that had to be crossed, and high winds and heights that even the Wind Skylanders had trouble with.
"So Kairn, what's your backstory?" asked Quickstorm, looking at his new friend.
"I was a wolf prince, but then I went foolishly into the Underworld, and became a mutant, half wolf, half corrupted undead dragon." sighed Kairn, looking at down.
"I was just an ordinary hare, the only thing odd about me was my eyes, I just had plain fur, and I was living with my family of twenty-nine. But, I got bored with my life, so I decided to see what I could do. Third day out in the wild, I got struck by lightning. It awakened my dormant powers. Or so a lightning elemental told me. So I signed up to join the competition, and here I am, about to reawaken some creepy old Guardian and Elder. Joy of joys." said Quickstorm.
Up ahead, Shadow snorted.
Cynder looked at her, and she gestured to with her tail to Quickstorm, who was just finishing up his sentence.
They laughed a bit, then stopped.
"Looks like a cathedral. I wonder why there's a cathedral in a cave? I think that will be where we'll find the Guardian, it seems so out of place." said Sonic Boom, pointing ahead.
"If that ain't creepy, then my middle name isn't Awesome." muttered Lightning Rod.
"I thought you said it was Careful?" asked Ghost Roaster, a cheeky smile on his face.
"I have two middle names" said Lightning Rod. "Sure you do." laughed Ghost Roaster.
"Silence, you two" scowled Hex.
They all crept forward, when, just as Cynder was about to walk across the doorway, Chop Chop stopped her.
"Look." he said.
Inside the entrance to the cathedral was a statue. It was of a weird dragon-like creature.
She had dark gray fur with red stripes on her back, and her chest and underbelly were covered with dark red pebble-like scales. She had two arched horns on either side of her head that were black with red tips, and a large ruby octagon gem on her forehead. She had softly glowing red eyes, and two feathered wings that started off black at the top, fading down into white at the bottom. Her front paws were cat-like, with four toes, and her hind paws were two-toed deer hooves. Halfway up each leg was a red-tipped black hooked spur, and her tail ended with two big scythe blades that faced outwards and were a red-tinted silver color.
"We must cross the threshold to fight the Guardian" Shadow whispered softly.
"Okay, everyone, once the Guardian wakes up, run into the room and start fighting, but try not to kill them," ordered Cynder.
Everyone nodded, and Cynder stepped forward.
The alarm went off, and a black line appeared (like the other line in the last chapter).
It shrunk and moved forward, reaching the base of the statue.
The statue cracked, light pouring out from within.
The creature stood before them.
"I am Vashi, last of the Syiran (said like siren) and the Undead Guardian. Insanity takes its toll, so please keep exact change!" she finished.
Vashi lowered her head as the Skylanders ran into the room and spread out around her.
She cackled evilly, and the gem on her forehead began to glow crimson.
Light beams exploded from it, rick-rocketing around the room. The Skylanders dodged desperately, and when the laser-like beams hit them, it felt like their soul was being sucked out, it was horrible.
When the beams hit the walls, floor or ceiling, it produced clouds of shrieking crimson ghosts, who floated around aimlessly, passing harmlessly through Skylanders and walls alike.
Finally, the ghosts and beams of red light vanished.
Cynder was the first to attack, Shadow Dashing up and spitting Spectral Lightning at Vashi.
The lightning lashed across Vashi's flanks, leaving burn marks.
Chop Chop ran up, dodging beams of red light shot at him by Vashi, who was also dodging Spectral Lightning, Laser Beams and Black Flames with a massive grin on her face.
"I quite liked dying, and I wonder if you will too?" laughed Vashi, still grinning madly as Chop Chop lunged at her.
Vashi spun, and bucked up and kicked Chop Chop with her back hooves, muttering as she did so.
Hex shot Phantom Orbs at her, and unseen by everyone except Kairn and Sonic Boom, Quickstorm had run up the ceiling, and as he reached the very top, Sonic Boom Roared.
Vashi fell in surprise and Quickstorm jumped down, shocking her with lightning bolts when he landed on her.
Shadow raced up and held her razor-sharp wing to Vashi's throat.
"What are you doing?!" asked Sonic Boom, shocked.
"I surrender." said Vashi gleefully, getting to her feet as Shadow folded her wings.
"Why did you do that?" asked Cynder, eyeing Shadow carefully.
"Guardians only stop if you put them in a situation where they can't win" Shadow replied.
"That's what happened with Spyro's team, when Chroma got her head stuck in a wall" she continued.
"Chroma got her head stuck in a wall? Hahaha, I'm so gonna tease her about that as soon as I see her." cried Vashi, rolled off the pedestal she'd been standing on the whole time, as she laughed hysterically.
"Can you take us to the Undead Elder now?" asked Cynder. "Yup" Vashi replied, running off through a door.
The Skylanders ran off hurriedly after her
Fire Team's P.O.V.
"Wow," said Blaze, gazing at the room.
They were standing on lava, looking at a giant red bubble, floating among flames that licked its sides like a happy puppy licks its master.
"I thought you would be impressed" grinned Comit (same as comet), the Fire Guardian. Comit was a sleek russet-brown wolf, and was covered in red-gold flames markings. He had a plumed fire covered tail, and coal black eyes.
The Fire Skylanders had completed the first challenge when Sariah hastily portaled away the Magic Skylanders, and Dimitri, saying the Magic Skylanders were needed elsewhere, and Dimitri was needed to help raise the defensive walls.
Minos rumbled nervously, throwing his head and pawing the ground he stood on. He was standing on a floating piece of rock, as he couldn't walk on lava, and it wobbled a bit every time he moved.
"Okay," said Comit. "You just need to pour all your power into the bubble, and it will glow if it works." he told them.
They did as he asked, literally putting all of their fire-power into the bubble.
It glowed brightly, and exploded with a cloud of flames.
On the lava stood what appeared to be a giant half dragon, half volcano creature. He had hands like Eruptor, and a three clawed feet. He had sapphire eyes, and a mane of flames around his head like a lion's. He had a flame-shaped crest going do his back and tail, which ended with a mood-flame, that changed color due to his mood. He had no wings either.
"My name is Pyroscor, and I'm on fire!" shouted the creature, grinning as Comit ran up to him, tail wagging.
"These are the Skylanders, Pyro!" Comit barked, as a red and green portal opened next to Minos.
"Is that your portal master's portal?" Pyroscor asked.
Sunburn and Ignitor nodded.
"Then lets go!" and with that, they all jumped through the portal.
Core of Light
Sariah stopped talking to Chroma and the Sorcerer so she could portal through both the Undead and Fire Skylander teams.
"Greetings, Pyroscor, Comit." she said, nodding to them.
"And good day to you, Vashi, Nyxta." she smiled, dipping her head respectfully.
Nyxta was a 11 foot-nine pale skinned human, with magenta cat ears amongst her short auburn hair. She had black, long loose pants and a billowing cloak. She wore a short sleeved gray belted shirt, and magenta tie and neck collar. By her eye was a magenta lined gray cresent moon, with a black dots along the inside curve. She also had dark gray bat wings with red membranes folded on her back.
"Are the Water and Life Skylanders back yet?" asked Shadow, looking slightly worried.
"No-" began Sariah, then her Comcrystal buzzed in her hand.
"Camo''s writhing around in agony, and moaning something about a tree being hurt." Sariah said, after putting the Comcrystal her ear and listening for a minute.
"Camo's mother tree must be in trouble" said Shadow, looking worried.
"Trolls?" asked Spyro.
Arbo ran up, clutching his stomach.
"The trees in the Forest of Life are under attack." he moaned.
"Drobot, get the Tech and Earth Skylanders that didn't go on a mission." Sariah commanded.
Drobot nodded and flew off.
"Bash, Trigger Happy, you guys are in charge and I want you to find out what's going on in the Forest of Life and prevent it from doing further harm." Sariah said as she opened a portal.
The Earth and Tech Skylanders jumped through, the portal snapping shut behind them.
Like it? I wonder what's going to happen to Camo? And are any of the other Skylanders going to get hurt? And sorry about reposting the same chapter before, it's changed now.
