Chapter 7: The Call to Action
As the evening settled in Spotbloom Village, the group gathered their thoughts. Sparx hovered nearby, looking troubled.
"Unfortunately, I won't be able to help you this time, Spyro," Sparx stated, his voice filled with regret. "I promised my father and my mother that I would take care of my brothers."
Spyro placed a reassuring claw on Sparx's shoulder. "It's okay, Sparx, and I completely understand because I am your friend."
With a nod of gratitude, Sparx took off, flying towards Dragonfly Village, leaving Spyro, Ember, Gwen, Vermillion, Magenta, and Alison to handle the situation.
Spyro, Ember, Gwen, Vermillion, Magenta, and Alison walked to Tamus, who regarded them with a mixture of curiosity and relief.
"Who are they?" Tamus asked, his gaze sweeping over the group.
"They are my friends: Ember, Gwen, Vermillion, Magenta, and Alison," Spyro introduced each of them.
"I see. Well, the more the merrier," Tamus responded warmly.
Spyro's brow furrowed with concern. "So, what did you need me for?"
Tamus sighed heavily, his expression grave. "Elora, Bianca, and Hunter have informed me that animals across the realm have been transformed into robots against their will."
Gasps of shock and disbelief rippled through the group as they exchanged worried glances.
"Who would do such a thing?" Spyro demanded, his voice filled with righteous anger.
"Dr. Evo Robotmik," Tamus answered grimly. "He's a human scientist who wants to conquer the Earth to build his own empire—the Robotmik Empire."
