Episode 4: Sky Schooner Docks
-Cynder's Room, Skylanders Room, Skylands-
At Cynder's room, the sunlights was passing through the purple sheets and on top of 2 sleeping Dragons. Spyro was sleeping on the edge of the bed as he waited for Cynder to wake up, and said Violet Dragon was already doing that as she opened her eyes.
Cynder: Uhh…
Cynder sat up as she looked around, seeing that she was in her room, before noticing the sleeping Purple Dragon.
Cynder: Spyro? Wake up!
Cynder shook Spyro's shoulder before the Purple Dragon woke. He rubbed his eyes before noticing that Cynder was awake.
Spyro: Cynder! You woke up!
Cynder: Yeah! But more importantly; why are you in my room?
Cynder didn't like anyone entering her room, even Spyro.
Spyro: Don't you remember? You tried to save me from the Darkness when it attacked us from the portal.
Cynder: The Darkness… (Gasp)!
Cynder then started to remember, about how the Darkness grabbed Spyro from the portal and was starting to corrupt him, so in order to save him she used up all her power, even though it may end up her being corrupted as well by her own power, which did happened as she remembered that she changed.
Cynder: Oh no… I've changed, haven't I?! I knew that it would have happened but… Did I hurt someone?! Please tell me that I…
Spyro: Cynder, calm down!
Spyro grabbed the panicked Dragoness shoulder as he made her look at him.
Spyro: Nobody got hurt. In fact, you managed to save me.
Cynder started to calm down when she heard that.
Cynder: I hoped that I wouldn't have turned back into that form again, but it happened anyway…
Spyro: Cynder, even if you turned back, I would still go and save you, just like I did before.
Cynder: Spyro…
Cynder knew that it was thanks to Spyro that she had a second chance in life. A chance to show that she's not an evil Dragon and can do good to all of Skylands. Spyro and Cynder were still in the same position as they looked at each other's eyes warmly… until the door suddenly opened.
Slam Bam: Hey Spyro! They're… oh?
Slam Bam came to tell Spyro something, but stopped his sentence once he saw the position the 2 Dragons are in.
Slam Bam: Sorry, I didn't expect you 2 were having a… special moment.
Realizing what Slam Bam meant, the 2 embarrassed Dragons quickly separated as they tried to clear the misunderstanding… speaking at the same time with their faces blushing.
Spyro: No! No! No! No! It's not what you think it is!
Cynder: Don't you even think about it! And what are you doing in my room?!
Slam Bam's eyes blinked in confusion until he went back to what he came to say.
Slam Bam: Right… Anyway, Tyson and Belle came back with Cali, so I came to tell you this.
Spyro: I see. Thanks, Slam Bam.
With that, Slam Bam took his leave. Cynder turned to Spyro confused once he heard Tyson and Belle's name.
Cynder: Tyson and Belle? They're here in Skylands?
Spyro: I'll explain to you on the way.
-Ruined Citadel, Skylands-
Spyro and Cynder walked outside and saw both Tyson and Belle, along with Diego and Alya. The young girl took notice of Cynder and immediately ran towards her.
Alya: Cynder!
The little girl hugged Cynder, much to the Violet Dragon's surprise.
Alya: I'm so glad you're okay!
Cynder smiled at that as she patted the girl on the back.
Cynder: Thanks, Alya.
She let go and addressed the other Humans present.
Cynder: I've heard everything from Spyro. Sorry that you guys got wrapped up into all of this.
Tyson: It's alright! Master Eon said he'll figure out how we can go back home.
Belle: In the meantime, we have a Core to fix.
Spyro: Where is Hugo anyway?
Hugo: AAAAH!
Everyone turned towards the scream and saw Hugo… being chased by the Sheep that hitchhiked a ride with Flynn's balloon.
Hugo was cornered to a wall as the Sheep approached him.
Hugo: Back! Back you vile beasts!
Hugo then threw what looked to be a Banana peel, which caught the Sheep's attention and they chased after it. Hugo let out a sight of relief now that the Sheep left him. Tyson, Belle, Spyro, Cynder, along with Cali and Flynn approached Hugo once the Sheep leaved.
Cali: Honestly, Hugo! They're just Sheep!
Hugo: That's where you're wrong, my dear Cali. These creatures may appear to be friendly, cuddly, piles of fluff. But turn your back on them and they turn into wretched lint-balls with beady little eyes staring at your every move.
He looked to one of the Sheep warrily, who was then hugged by Diego and Alya as they wanted to feel its fluffy hide.
Flynn: Sorry about the lint-balls Hugo, but we were able to rescue Cali.
Cali: Actually… it was the Skylanders who rescued-
Flynn: Oh… oh Cali. Stop with the praise! It 's embarrassing. Entirely appropriate… but embarrassing.
Cali, along with everyone else, rolled their eyes or shook their heads in annoyance.
Hugo: Hey! Could we please get on to the important things?
Everyone turned their attention to Hugo.
Hugo: While you were all away, I found the old blueprints for the Core of Light. The Ancients used them when they first built it.
Cali: Wait a second… I thought you said YOU built the Core of Light.
Cynder: That's because he didn't.
Everyone turned to the nervous bespactled Mabu with raised eyebrows(minus Flynn).
Hugo: Well, yes and no. Yes, I said that I did… but no, I really didn't.
Spyro: Hugo, back to the Core of Light.
Hugo: Of course. The Old Core was used to repel the forces of Darkness. If we can rebuild a new Core of Light, it should stop Kaos from his wicked plan to rule Skylands.
He then turned his attantion back to the Sheep, who Diego and Alya are playing with.
Hugo: Then we can focus on getting rid of those villainous Sheep!
Cynder facepalmed at this.
Tyson: So, where do we start?
Hugo: The Far Viewer will help us find the parts we need to rebuild the Core, but this cursed, overgrown bramble is blocking it off.
The group stood in front of a massive plant growth that's blocking their path.
Spyro: Leave this part to me!
Spyro released his flame breath at the brambles, easily burning them all down in just a minute. In front of them stood a platform with a star in a circle on it. But before they approached it, Hugo stopped them.
Hugo: Wait! I have a great idea!
A minute later all the Sheep were standing on the platform, which then spring and caused the Far-Viewer, a giant telescope, to pop-up off the ground, which also send the Sheep flying.
Hugo: Wow, not only will that Far Viewer help us see distant lands, but it also functions as a Sheep-launching device! It 's marvelous!
Everyone turned to Hugo as they all give him a "really?!" look. Cali shook her head as she approached the Far-Viewer.
Cali: Here, I'll show you how to use this thing. It's pretty much a Telescope, but a lot more magical.
She started to adjust the telescope, although there were squeaky sounds and the telescope had trouble turning around.
Cali: This one's a little rusty, but it should be able to show us exactly where we need to go next. That's the magic part.
Cali adjusted the telescope to a certain postion before letting Hugo used. It didn't take long for the bespactled Mabu to find what he's looking for.
Hugo: Yes! I see it right now! The very first Eternal Source we need - Air!
Tyson turned to Spyro with a confused look.
Tyson: Eternal Source?
Spyro: The Eternal Sources are the embodiment of each of the 8 original magical elements. Air, Life, Undead, Earth, Fire, Water, Tech, and Magic.
Cynder: When the Core of light exploded, if the legends are true, the 8 Eternal Sources must have returned to their original location from where they first manifested.
Hugo: The Core of Light was powered by all the Eternal Sources. If we can acquire that Air Source, we will be well on our way to rebuilding it!
Spyro: Where is the Air Source? Can you tell it's location?
Hugo: It's the Stormy Stronghold! The evil Drow must have recovered the Eternal Air Source, but something has gone wrong.
Belle: What do you mean?
Hugo: The whole place is being blown apart!
That surprised everyone. Hugo turned away to allow the others to see. Tyson was first and he saw through the Far-Viewer the stronghold was no longer a stronghold. Debries was flying everywhere, including a Drow that seemed to be bored since he was carried by the wind for a long time.
Tyson: Whoa! It would be difficult for Flynn's balloon to go through those winds!
He let Flynn have a look and the Balloonist agreed with Tyson.
Flynn: You're right. My balloon's gonna need something… something that will PUSH me… THROUGH the storm heh… enh…
Cali rolled her eyes at Flynn again since the solution to that problem was quite simple.
Cali: You mean like a propeller, genius?
Flynn: No. No. Nothing like that. Oh you are so cute when you're flirting with me.
Flynn started to "think" until ge got an idea.
Flynn: I've got it. We need some kind of propeller!
Cali couldn't believe that Flynn said the same idea that she just spoke off.
Cali: Realy? REALY?!
It took all for Cali not to lunge at Flynn. Belle tried to calm her down.
Cali: Fine! Everyone knows the Drow patrol the Sky Schooner Docks. Their Elite Airship will have the propeller we need. Tell you what, brain-trust, you get back to your balloon. I'll mark it on the map with a big crayon.
Flynn: HEY! I LIKE CRAYONS!
With the tension having diffused a little, Belle went to Spyro and Tyson, the Purple Dragon having taken a look at the state of the Stormy Stronghold.
Belle: So, who will summon once we get to the Docks?
Spyro thought which Skylander would be suited for the job.
Spyro: There's not much space in Sky Schooner Docks, but Lightning Rod and Terrafin wouldn't have any problem with that. Then there's the aerial attacks. Drobot should go, and I'll go as…
Cynder: I'll go.
Spyro turned to Cynder surprised as she looked away from the Far-Viewer.
Spyro: What?! But you just woke up! Are you sure?
Cynder smiled at Spyro, which the Purple Dragon knew was a sweet smile.
Cynder: Spyro, you know it will take more than that to keep me down. Besides, I want to stretch my wings after that nap.
Spyro couldn't argue back with Cynder so it's decided that she will go.
Now that they're ready, Tyson and Belle were going to hop on Flynn's Balloon.
Tyson: On to Sky Schooner Docks!
Flynn: Aces! Let's go!
Everyone was onboard and Balloon lifted off the ground… and hit the broken structure again, which made everyone wince.
Flynn: Oh yeah, that's two for me! But who's counting? Oh yeah… I am.
With that Flynn's Balloon flew away as Spyro, Cynder, and Cali watched.
Cali: This is gonna be a long adventure.
Spyro and Cynder knew what Cali meant.
-Sky Schooner Docks, Skylands-
Tyson and Belle stepped out of Flynn's Balloon as they arrived at Sky Schooner Dock. Everywhere they could see are Zeppelins in the air, and on the Docks everywhere are guarded by Drow. Like Spyro said, some places don't have much space since some of the islands are small.
Tyson and Belle then grabbed their broken medallions and called the Skylanders.
Tyson: Come! Drobot! Lightning Rod!
Belle: Cynder! Terrafin!
The Skylanders appeared from portals of light. Cynder stretched her wings as she looked around, before turning back to Belle.
Cynder: It's a change of pace since I'm summoned by someone else then Master Eon.
Flynn then grabbed everyone's attention.
Flynn: Alright everybody, all we need to do is find their Elite Airship, take it down and steal their Golden Propeller. See? Simple! This is gonna be a piece of cake. Especially for heroes like us. Heroes who like cake.
Flynn didn't realize that he was talking to himself as the others already left.
One of the small islands stood a cannon there, and 2 Drow were currently guarding that cannon.
Drow 1: Hey, did you like that plant I gave you yesterday?
Drow 2: Oh I like it! Thanks for it anyway.
Unknown to the Drow, a shadow passed behind them, until it rose to reveal Cynder.
Cynder: Boo.
Drow 1 and 2: WAAAH!
The 2 Drow jumped as they turned towards Cynder who was smirking at them.
Drow: It's Cynder!
Before the 2 Drow could do anything, Terrafin jumped out of the ground from behind and immediately knocked them out.
Lightning Rod: You didn't leave some for us!
Lightning Rod others arrived as they passed the unconscious Drow.
Tyson: That was too easy.
Cynder: It will get harder once we start attacking the Drow's Warships. Can any of you pilot this?
She was mentioning the cannon behind her.
Tyson: I'll do it. Drobot already told us how it works.
With that, Tyson jumped inside the cannon and took the controls. He then aimed the cannons at the Warships in the skies.
Tyson then started firing the cannons at the Zeppelins, knocking a few of them from the skies.
Belle: Go Tyson!
Two Zeppelins then started to fire back, but that's when Cynder and Lighting Rod stepped in.
Lightning Rod: We got your back, kid!
Both him and Cynder launched their electric attacks, blocking the enemy cannonballs in an explosion. Tyson continued firing, hitting the rest of the Warships down.
Terrafin: Alright!
Suddenly, one of the Zepellins was falling on one of the islands that's close to the Skylanders, and it crashed right through a gate, opening a path for them.
Terrafin: Well, that was convenient.
Tyson got out of the cannon as he rejoined his friends.
Cynder: We better keep moving. Being in different islands will give us an advantage if we want to keep taking down these Warships.
The Skylanders ran up ahead as they passed the broken gate.
Terrafin: Whoa!
Suddenly, Terrafin jumped aside as a crescent Blade passed where he once stood, and then it flew back to the one who threw it as she caught it.
Confronting them is a female Drow dressed as a Witch with black/green dress, long sleeves and gown, but wears a Wizard cap instead. In her hands are crescent shaped blades.
Drobot: A DROW WITCH.
Cynder: I got this.
Cynder moved forward as she went to face the Drow Witch alone, who then threw a crescent blade at her, only to pass through Cynder as her body turned to shadow before turning back. She wasted no time and fired a Spectral Lightning at the Drow Witch, electrocuting her till she was smoking and twitching before falling on the floor.
Cynder: Even with my magic weakened I still got it.
As she was talking the crescent blade boomerang flew back behind her.
Belle: Um… Cynder…
Before the blade hit Cynder her body turned shadow again and the weapon passed through. The Drow Witch sat back up, only for the crescent blade to come and cut her wizard hat right through, revealing her hair to her shock. The Drow stood up and ran away as the others watched.
Belle: You're really cool and calm, Cynder!
Cynder couldn't help but take in Belle's praise before they started moving forward again, but not until Cynder stopped as she caught something fly by. She looked around but couldn't see the mysterious object anywhere. She narrowed her eyes at this before started running to reach the others, unaware that someone with dark blue hair was watching them.
A while later, the Skylanders were fighting 2 Drow Witches as one of them dodged Drobot's Mega Blaster, while the other launched the crescent blade at Terrafin, who burrowed underground to dodge.
Drobot: HOW ARE GUYS DOING?
Tyson: We're doing okay!
Tyson shouted from the sounds of the blasting cannons. Belle was the one who's commanding the turrets, taking down more Warships as Cynder and Lightning Rod protected them with their electric attacks. Belle then fired one more cannon shot at the remaining zeppelins.
Belle: Was that the last one?
Cynder: Yes. But we still have to keep our guard up…
Suddenly, Cydner saw a cannonball bigger than the others, and hit the side of the turret.
Belle: AAAH!
Tyson: Belle! Are you okay?!
Tyson was worried for his friend, until he sighed in relief once he heard her voice.
Belle: Yeah… I'm fine. But where did that come from?
Everyone looked up at the sky and saw an even bigger Warship flying towards them, who fired its big cannonballs again at them.
Cynder: It 's an Heavy Airship.
Cynder replied before firing her Spectral Lightning while Lightning Rod threw a Lightning Bolt. Both attacks collided with the cannonballs, but didn't destroy all of them as some passed through the smoke and nearly hit them.
Cynder: We have to get close and personal. Ready, Lightning Rod?!
Lightning Rod: Oh I'm always ready!
Cynder: Keep firing, Belle!
Belle: Okay!
Both Cynder and Lightning Rod flew into the air, as cannonballs of their side passed them and hit the Heavy Airship, but it wasn't going down so easily as the smaller ones.
Cynder and Lightning Rod unleashed their electric attacks, with the Storm Giant summoning a Grand Lightning on top of the partially armored balloon. Belle took her chance as the Drow aboard were distracted and fired, managing to destroy one of its fins and started to fall.
Cynder and Lightning Rod flew back down as Belle came out of the cannon.
Tyson: Nice shooting, Belle!
Belle: Thanks!
Lightning Rod: It's still too soon to celebrate my friends. We have more Drow to defeat!
Drobot: ACCORDING TO MY CALCULATIONS, THESE WILL BE THE LAST DEFENSE OF THE DROW, THEN WE'LL TAKE CONTROL OF SKY SCHOONER DOCKS.
Terrafin: Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!
Following Terrafin, the Skylanders moved ahead for their last confrontation with the Drow, not realizing that someone flew behind them. Cynder did notice it before deciding to keep walking up ahead.
The fight continued as the Skylanders faced more Drow Spearman. Terrafin burst out of the ground and uppercut a Drow.
Drobot launched his Blade Gears and hit a couple of them.
Cynder used her Shadow Dash and summoned phantom versions of herself that attacked the Drow.
Lightning Rod then threw 2 Lightning Bolts at the remaining Drow… until they suddenly deflected!
Lightning Rod: What the?!
Tyson and Belle were also surprised at this.
Tyson: How did Lightning Rod's attack get deflected?! They didn't even do anything!
Belle: Look closer!
Tyson then noticed that the two Drow were surrounded by a wind barrier.
Tyson: Where did that come from?
Cynder: I know who did it.
As if on cue, the one responsible teleported on the field.
It was a small floating creature wearing clear blue Wizard clothes. Has fins for hands and its face is obscured except its yellow eyes. It has the symbol of the Air Element on its clothes.
Cynder: An Air Spell Punk.
Belle: What are Spell Punks?
Cynder: Wizards that sometimes use their magic for mischief, and this one is using Air Magic to protect the Drow against projectile attacks.
Terrafin: Projectiles, huh? Then what about my fists!
Lightning Rod understood what Terrafin said as he and the Dirt Shark charged at the Drown.
The Storm Giant reached out with his big hand and easily passed through the wind barrier, grabbing the shocked Drow spear before releasing an electric current, shocking the dark Elf.
Meanwhile the other Drow believed he would have no problem with an unarmed opponent, so he twirled his spear and brought it down on Terrafin, who simply smashed through the middle of the staff with his fist. The shocked Drow had little time to react as Terrafin unleashed a flurry of punches on his face.
The knocked out Drow and the one that got electrified fell on the ground with swirls in their eyes. The Air Spell Punk knew he had no chance at the Skylanders so he turned around to run away, only to slam face first into a Violet Dragoness chest. He slowly looked up and saw Cynder giving a scary glare at him.
Air Spell Punk: Eep!
The Spell Punk immediately teleported away in fear. Tyson and Belle approached the Violet Dragoness, who was currently looking around for someone.
Belle: You really shouldn't scare someone like that, even if it's an enemy.
Cynder: Everyone knows who I once was, so they would be scared of me even if I didn't try. Besides, I wanted to see if he's the one who has been following us.
That news surprised the kids and the other Skylanders.
Tyson: We've been followed?
Cynder: Yes. I thought it was this Spell Punk, but it seems I was wrong since his presence is different from the one I sensed.
Cynder then turned around and shouted out loud.
Cynder: Whoever you are, come out now! I know that you're there!
There was a moment of silence, until a mischievous girly laugh was heard.
?: (Giggles)...! Looks like you found me!
At the moment the one who was stalking them revealed herself to the Skylanders, and they were surprised to see who it was.
She was a fair skinned woman with Fairy Wings. She wears a red skirt, red sleeveless crop top that reveals her midriff, and red arm sleeves. Instead of legs she has a Genie-like lower body, dark blue hair and blue eyes, and a red gem on her forehead.
While Tyson and Belle were surprised to see a Fairy, the other Skylanders immediately recognized her.
Skylanders: Persephone?!
Persephone: Hello extremely! So much fun that the Skylanders are back! We Fairies always dance with Skylanders.
The Fairy showed this by dancing around the Skylanders.
Terrafin: We're glad that you're okay, Persephone.
Lightning Rod: We thought you were gone when the Core exploded.
As the Skylanders spoke with Persephone, Tyson and Belle were the only ones confused as to who she is.
Tyson: I'm sorry, but who is Persephone?
The Fairy giggled as she introduced herself.
Persephone: I am Persephone.
Cynder: Fairies like Persephone here have been friends with the Skylanders for a long time. They use their magic to help us Skylanders grow strong. Speaking of which…
Cynder turned to Persephone with a serious tone in her voice.
Cynder: Persephone, due to the destruction of the Core of Light, us Skylanders lost a lot of our magical powers. With your help we can get them back. Will you help us?
Persephone was joyous when she heard that as she twirled around.
Persephone: Of course, I'll ABSOLUTELY will!
Suddenly, Drobot stopped the mood as he noticed something.
Drobot: HEAVY WARSHIP, COMING TO OUR RIGHT.
Everyone turned to their right as they saw a Heavy Warship that was about to go dock close to them.
Persephone: Oh dear! At it again, silly Drow!
Persephone: I will meet you at the Core of Light later for dancing. Happy luck, great Skylanders.
With that Persephone flew back home, and the Skylanders turned back their attention to the Warship that already docked.
Cynder: Alright, let 's go, boys!
The Drow put down the plank bridge as they started to unboard the ship, only to be attacked by Cynder in her shadow form. She and the others boarded the ship and faced the other Drow who charged at them with their spears, but a Spectral Ligthning and Bladegears pushed back a few of them, while Lightning Rod summoned another Grand Lightning, electrifying them. That left them with one Drow left… a Goliat Drow.
He is a rather large and shirtless muscular Drow with two fangs sticking out of his lower jaws. On his arms he's wearing 2 shield-like gauntlets.
Tyson: That is one big Drow.
Terrafin: Well the bigger they are, the harder they fall!
The Dirt Shark charged in and launched his fist… only for the large Drow to grab his small fist with his big hand, pulling Terrafin in the air before punching him, sending him flying above the Skylanders as they ducked.
Terrafin: Ow…
They turned back to the Goliat Drow as he brought up his shield-like gauntlets.
Cynder fired a Spectral Lightning which he blocked with his gauntlet shield, then Drobot's Mega Blaster. The Goliat Drow then charged with his shield raised and so did Lightning Rod with a Lightning Bolt ready. Both of them collided and the force of the electric attack was enough to force the Goliat Drow to stumble back.
Terrafin: Alright, let's do this again!
The Dirt Shark charged one more time as the Goliat Drow recovered and tried to hit him with his large fists, only for Terrafin to dodge it and land a successful blow on the Goliat's face. He jumped again and launched a few more blows as the Goliat Drow was pushed back. Then he was hit by Cynder's Spectral Lightning and was down to the count. Drobot then called everyone's attention again.
Drobot: GUYS, THE LAST FLEET OF THE DROW IS APPROACHING. WE MUST HURRY!
Cynder: Then let 's go!
The Skylanders jumped off the ship with Lightning Rod was holding on to the children. They reached the final cannon up ahead and Tyson jumped into it and got ready… only to notice a problem.
Tyson: I only have one shot!
The Skylanders were surprised at this before turning to the approaching small armada.
Cynder: Well let's do this the old fashioned way!
The Skylanders knew what she meant as they all flew towards the Warships… except Terrafin who can't fly.
Terrafin: Alright. Good luck then. I'll just stay here to guard the kids.
He said sarcastically.
Cynder immediately fired her Spectral Lightning at the Zeppelins. Just as Lightning Rod threw Lightning Bolts at the deck while Drobot fired his Bladegears to puncture holes in the balloon, causing them to slowly fall into the endless sky. The other Zeppelins fell as well until the flying Skylanders then noticed another Heavy Airship coming.
Drobot: THE THIRD HEAVY AIRSHIP IS HERE!
Lightning Rod: Then let's get them!
The Skylanders began the attack as Cynder took the lead. The Heavy Airship fired at her but she gracefully dodged all the cannonballs. This distracted the Drow as Drobot and Lightning Rod attacked the armored balloon from above. Drobot fired his Mega Blasters to heat the armored metal, then Lightning Rod summoned a Grand Lightning, piercing through the metal and causing a big explosion, leaving the balloon with a hole in it. The Heavy Airship started to fall as the Skylanders celebrated.
Drobot: NOW THAT THE DROW HAVE BEEN DEFEATED, WE NOW HAVE CONTROL OF SKY SCHOONER DOCKS.
Lightning Rod: Um… What about those Drow?
The Dragons turned to where Lightning Rod was pointing and saw a FOURTH Heavy Warship coming.
Cynder: Another Warship?!
Drobot: THEY'RE GOING TO ATTACK THE KIDS!
Fearing for the children's safety, the Skylanders tried to fly back but a strong wind was pushing them back.
Lightning Rod: The wind is pushing us back! We wouldn't make it in time!
Cynder thought desperately to find a way to save her Human friends, until she got an idea. She summoned a shadow clone and sent it towards them since it's not very affected by the winds.
Meanwhile, Terrafin and the kids took notice of the fourth Heavy Airship coming towards them.
Terrafin: That's not good!
Belle: And we have only one shot! What do we do?!
Tyson knew they were in a bad position, until he heard a stomping sound above the cannon.
STOMP!
Tyson: Huh?
Cynder: Tyson, listen to me and listen closely!
Tyson: Cynder?!
Above the turret was Cynder's shadow.
Cynder's Shadow: I'm speaking through one of mys shadow clones so listen, I have an idea!
At that moment, the Heavy Airship started firing at them. Terrafin and Belle hid behind the cannon as it started aiming towards the ship.
Tyson: Alright, only one shot at this.
Tyson aimed carefully, and then fired the last cannonball, which Cynder's Shadow was waiting.
Cynder: Now!
Both her and Lightning Rod fired their electric attacks at fast speed, which collided with the cannoball and turned it into an electric sphere which then collided with the Heavy Airship, doing some heavy damage as everything around it was exploding.
Belle: It worked! Cynder's plan worked!
Cynder and the other Skylanders landed, and Tyson got out of the cannon as they all watched the Heavy Airship exploding and falling, until something detached from it and fell near them.
Drobot: THE GOLDEN PROPELLER!
Belle: The piece that we are looking for?
Terrafin: Now that's convenient… again.
The Skylanders approached the propeller. True to its namesake, some parts of the propeller are made of gold.
Tyson: How are we gonna bring this back home?
Lightning Rod: Leave it to me!
The Storm Giant approached the Golden Propeller, and with impressive strength, he lifted it above him. Tyson and Belle were shocked that he was able to lift something so heavy until Cynder turned to them.
Cynder: Just so you know, it may look like gold, but it's made of a different material that is very light.
At that moment, Flynn's Balloon landed near them as Flynn contemplated their work (for the moment).
Flynn: Ah that's impressive. Almost as impressive as me. Boom! Well now we should be able to fly even higher!
Flynn opened the door to his air balloon as Tyson, Belle, and Terrafin hopped in. The others will fly as Cynder and Drobot will help Lightning Rod carry the Golden Propeller with ropes tied around it.
Flynn: C'mon! Let's get back so I can get to work! We'll slap this baby on, fly on up to the impenetrable stronghold, pick up the Eternal Air thingy - and then be back in time for my date with Cali. If she doesn't faint from anticipation first.
With that the balloon started to make it's journey back to the Ruined Citadel with one Golden Propelled in tow.
-Ruined Citadel, Skylands-
The Skylanders arrived back at their ruined home as Flynn's Balloon landed and let his passengers out. While the flying Skylanders safely put the Golden Propeller on the ground before the Dragons themselves landed. Spyro then approached Cynder once he saw her arrive.
Spyro: Looks like you managed to get a Golden Propeller and find Persephone on the way.
He turned to the Fairy who was happily dancing in the air.
Persephone: I'm so happy to dance in this old place!
Cynder smiled at that, glad to have their Fairy friend back.
Cynder: Like I told you, I don't stay down so easily.
Spyro chuckled at that. Flynn was looking at Persephone before turning his attention to the Golden Propeller as he put his hand on it.
Flynn: That girl seems to be immune to my charms. Poor thing. Well, it's gonna take me some time to install this propeller. Why don't you cool your jets. Take a load off.
Stealth Elf: I think it will be good if we do some training.
Cali: Leave the training to me! I've been whipping up a few training grounds since I arrived.
Spyro then spoke to Persephone.
Spyro: In the meantime, I think we should start using your magic to restore some of the Skylanders strength.
Persephone twirled around happily when she heard that.
Persephone: So wonderful! But we're gonna need treasure first.
Slam Bam: I'll pick some up from the vault.
With that Slam Bam left to the vault, while Tyson turned to Spyro wondering about a certain part of the conversation.
Tyson: What do you need treasure for?
Spyro: Fairies can exchange treasures into magic that can give us new abilities. Don't ask me how, I still don't get it myself.
Tyson understood until he felt Belle put her hand on his shoulder. She was giving a smile to him.
Belle: Remember when you asked me to train you? Well now's a good time, and there's a training arena here. We can go anytime when you want.
Tyson: Are you kidding? Let 's go now!
Belle giggled at that as she and Tyson went to the arena, while their younger siblings watched them go.
Diego: It's nice that Tyson gets to hang out with your sister.
Alya: Yeah. Though I don't know if he'll enjoy it or not.
Diego turned to Alya confused, wondering what she meant.
Lightning Rod
Bio: Lightning Rod once lived in the majestic Cloud Kingdom, where his countless acts of heroism along with his winning smile and electric physique made him the most famous Storm Giant in the realm. He was a true celebrity, and the palace halls were littered with statues of the chiseled hero. But all the praise and admiration could never quite satisfy Rod, who yearned for something more. As luck would have it, he met an adventurous young Dragon named Spyro, who told him fantastic stories of faraway places and dangerous adventures. Rod was spellbound, and he set off with Spyro to seek an audience with Eon to join the Skylanders.
Terrafin
Bio: Terrafin hails from the Dirt Seas, where it was common to swim, bathe, and even snorkel beneath the ground. But a powerful explosion in the sky created a blast wave that turned the ocean of sand into a vast sheet of glass, putting an end to Terrafin's duty as the local lifeguard. Not one to stay idle, the brawny Dirt Shark found himself training in the art of Boxing, and not only after he was a local champ. Fighters came from all around to challenge him, but it was a chance meeting with a great Portal Master that led him to give up his title for a greater purpose.
