Solar Force: A Legend Awakens
A Little Lot of Backstory
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWe start off with Shoutmon, Ballistamon, Fuli, Tails, and Rocky flying through the vortex between worlds. As they did, Shoutmon was looking at the iced over book.
“So a group of guys called Skylanders are iced over because this book was iced over by some dude named Kaos?” The red dragon asked as the pup nodded.
“Yeah, I was thinking you could use that fiery fastball of your’s to melt it.” The gray mutt replied before the fox flew in and took the book.
“Wait, if this book froze the Skylanders over… then wouldn’t using fire on it burn them?” Tails interjected before the large sum of portals appeared.
“Heads up! Some sort of vortex junction coming up!” Ballistamon exclaimed before the five of them looked around.
“How do we know which one will get us to Skylands?” The cheetah asked before the fox came up with a plan.
“Just group up, if we stick together then we can deal with whatever is on the other side!” The fox said as he grabbed Ballistamon by the horn-like fixture on his head while Shoutmon grabbed both Rocky and Fuli before they noticed nobody had the Book of Skylanders.
“Guys the book!” The pup shouted as they all got sucked into separate portals.
Tails and Ballistamon were sent careening through the void before they ended up in the middle of an open sky full of floating islands.
“Woah!” Ballistamon said as Tails carried him to the nearest island.
“This must be Skylands! I can’t wait to tell Sonic that I made it to Spyro’s home world!” The twin tailed fox said in awe as he and the robot digimon walked through the chunks of land before they noticed the coliseum.
Walking inside the duo found a bunch of ice statues all with Skylanders stuck inside. As they went up to the stage they saw first hand what Rocky explained to them briefly back in the Digital World.
“Man, Rocky’s description didn’t even cover half of how bad this was.” Tails said as the duo walked on the stage where they saw a lava creature with a bit of melted rock melted onto it.
“Are they okay?” The digimon robot asked before they heard a voice come from it.
“No! Were frozen solid! Is that you Spyro?” The lava creature asked before the frozen green elf spoke up.
“No Eruptor, it isn’t Spyro. But neither of them are that pup either.” She spoke as the fox walked up to them.
“I’m Tails, and the robot here is Ballistamon.” The two two tailed fly boy said as Ballistamon was looking at the lava creature trying to find a way to bust him out of the ice. “Do any of you know a purple dragon named Spyro?” He asked as the elf’s eyes went wide.
“How do you know Spyro?” She asked as the fox took a breath.
“He appeared out of a weird ball of darkness.” Tails explained as the elf and tall wizard gasped and the other Skylanders looked on in shock. “We met Rocky too. He told us about the book freezing situation.” He added before the old master with a shattered beard spoke up.
“I am Master Eon, and I believe you two deserve an explanation as you and any friends you’ve encountered have been forced into this unfortunate dilemma.” The old master started.
“You mean Kaos?” Said an eagle in blue armor, also frozen.
“No, you see prophecy foretells that our worlds were once linked long ago. But over time our worlds split apart for some unknown reason, but the legends also said one day a group of heroes made of these warriors would be chosen to protect the six worlds, given you both hail from different worlds you must be two of these warriors.” Eon explained as the two had a realization.
“And given they’ve also been wrapped up in all this, Spyro, Rocky, Shoutmon, and Fuli are some of these warriors too.” Tails said before the robot spoke up.
“Chase and Marshall too!” Ballistamon exclaimed before getting a look from the Skylanders. “Shoutmon’s my best pal, Fuli is a cheetah, and Chase and Marshall are friends of Rocky.” He explained.
“The prophecy is held within my study but I wished two of the cadets had more time after graduation.” Eon explained as the Skylanders gasped.
“Wait, it might be the ice and rock over my ears but I’m pretty sure Eon said Spyro wasn’t the only cadet supposed to be involved in all this.” Eruptor said as the old master sighed.
“You see, I have been spending time training two cadets in their respective skills Spyro to hone his flight and fire breath and the other to hone her ninja skills and super speed.” Eon explained in a somber tone.
“Wait, super speed? Ninja? Her?! Master you don’t mean…” The elf shinobi said with shock in her voice.
“Stealth Elf is one of those warriors as well.” Eon said as the fox and robot turned to her.
Said elf’s pupil-lacking eyes expressed her shock clearly. But the fox gave a look.
“You know, I am curious how Spyro got into that orb of darkness. Maybe you guys could help explain all that.” Tails said as the elf sighed.
“Well, I guess you should know.” Eon said as the robot and fox went ears up while trying to thaw Elf out.
(Flashback)
‘To start with, I run Skylander Academy. A school where cadets train vigorously to become the next generation of heroes within our world.’
The flashback opens up with Skylanders Academy where new students show up for they’re first year. All the while a small furry guy in a green puffer jacket is seen warping in on a teleportation pad holding a white paper bag.
“Pardon me, coming through!” The furry creature exclaimed as he raced up the steps of the academy. “A very important assistant with a very important packa…” He said just before getting smacked by a large white fluffy orb. “What in the…” The creature said just before the white orb revealed itself to be a sheep, causing the assistant to give a panicked look. “Sheep! Everyone cower for your lives!” Just as the creature grabbed the books that fell out of his pack a purple dragon instantly picked the sheep up.
“Hugo, chill. They’re harmless.” Spyro explained with a chuckle as the creature, known as a mabu, peaked out one of the doorways of the academy.
“They are not harmless! They are harmful! They are literally full of harm!” The mabu retorted clearly terrified of the farmyard animal the dragon was holding which to him growled. “Ahh! Did you see that? Oh tell me you all saw that!” Hugo pleaded right before Spyro spoke up again.
“Dude, seek help.” The purple dragon said before landing close to Hugo who hit behind the wall the doorway was on. “And I don’t mean one therapist, you need a team.” He explained as the mabu raced off with the paper bag he was delivering.
‘Spyro was starting his senior year at the academy. As such he would get the chance to officially become a Skylander.’
The purple dragon in question looked on and saw an orange and blue robot, a red furry looking creature, and a female dragon covered in crystals. “Yo, what’s happening cadets? First yearers, right?” He asked the group while spinning the sheep on his finger. “Yup, yup, yup. Just like me four years ago.” He explained as the new cadets looked on in awe.
‘However, he suffers from one major problem. While Spyro has great confidence in his abilities, and his skill in aerial combat is second to none.’
“Well, not exactly like me. There’s only one Spyro.” The purple dragon explained with a chuckle.
“Oh, can I get a selfie with you?” The little robot asked with glee.
“Totally.” Spyro replied as all three of the new cadets held out phones ready to take pictures with the soon to be Skylander. Which he quickly took on of him and the robot before returning the phone, leaving the robot cadet less than pleased.
“I’m not even in it.” He said bluntly as the picture was shown to be just the purple dragon.
“You're welcome.” Spyro replied bluntly.
‘So can be said for his overblown ego.’
“If you're all done with the Spyro show, can we get back to our game of sheep ball?” The lava creature asked in a disgruntled tone as he and Elf looked at the male dragon as he was left with snapping a photo for the female dragon.
“Relax Eruptor, just giving these cadets a little memento.” Spyro explained as he snapped the female dragon a picture of his back end.
“Nobody wants a shot of your butt.” Eruptor complained as the crystalline dragoness just looked so happy with the photo.
“Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!” The cadet named Flashwing said with glee which led Spyro to smirk.
“I think you may owe my butt an apology.” He replied to Eruptor to groan.
“I got this.” Stealth Elf said as she disappeared in a puff of mist only to instantly appear next to Spyro and steal the sheep he was holding and smacked it into his face.
“Hey, what are you doing, Stealth Elf?” The dragon asked with a tinge of annoyance right before the elven ninja appeared behind him catching the sheep she just chucked at him.
“I’m doing this!” She replied before throwing the sheep at Spyro again and zipping to where the sheep was going to fall, catching it again. “And then some of this.” She continued as she kept warping around Spyro and tossing the same sheep at his head.
“They… are… all… very… similar.” Spyro replied as he was pelted by the sheep. Elf then caught the sheep in mid-air and warped right next to Eruptor.
“Can we please get back to the game now, oh Spyro the great?” The lava creature asked with no enthusiasm whatsoever.
The purple dragon soon landed near hsi two friends while looking at the lava monster. “Somebody sure is grumpy. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the volcano this morning, big guy?” He asked in a cocky tone.
“I am not grumpy!” Eruptor snapped before literally blowing his top causing droplets of lava to rain down around him which Elf quickly zipped away from. “That’s grumpy.” He said as the now burnt ash covered sheep trotted away from him.
“Guys, guys, knock it off. We’re on the same team, remember?” The ninja elf said as she pulled the sheep’s tail before letting it go as the ash puffed off of it. “Now grow up and let’s get back to throwing sheep at each other.”
Before they could do anything else they heard the bell ring which led the first yearers to rush to their first class instantly.
“Looks like you two just got saved by the class bell.” Elf said as she and Eruptor walked past Spyro.
“So, you're forfeiting.” The dragon said thinking he just won.
“No way!” Elf instantly replied before Eruptor spoke up.
“We’re just saying, you're making us late.” The lava monster explained with slight anger in his tone.
“Us?” The ninja girl said as she just poofed away, with Spyro soon flying to where she was going.
“Awe, magma.” Erutpor said as he rushed to class as well.
Quickly before going to class Spyro quickly breathed smoke to write the words ‘Spyro Wins’ in the sky due to his ego and thoughts of winning sheep ball.
(End Flashback)
“But that was simply the start of Spyro’s journey in all of this.” Master Eon explained as the two tailed fox used the heat from his arm cannon to thaw out Stealth Elf.
“Okay so from what Tails told me, Spyro wasn’t so ego-sentric when helping him and his friend Sonic.” Ballistamon explained before turning to the elf and lava creature. “So what happened?” He asked.
“Like we said. It’s a long story, and we’ve just gotten started.” Eruptor explained with the fox running a finger over Elf’s frozen arm.
“I’m making progress but it’s definitely not as efficient as I expected… Ballistamon, could you possibly assist in giving my arm cannon a designated thermal emission feature?” Tails asked which led most to just give confused looks, all except the armored bird creature.
“He’s asking if you can help add a heat ray function to it.” The bird explained which the digimon and the other Skylanders instantly nodded in understanding.
“I got this.” Ballistamon said as he opened his chest which apparently made parts for a heat ray. “We’ll be a minute, then we’ll get Elf out of that ice and you guys can continue your story.” The robot digimon explained to the frozen warriors.
Over in Equestria Marshall was telling Zuma and Rubble all about his adventure so far.
“Woah dude, you met a talking robot with sentiance!?” The water pup said with some enthusiasm due to how epic it sounded.
“Yeah, my day has been wild so far.” The fire pup explained as the baby dragon walked over to them.
“You know, Zuma was it?” Spike asked as the water pup nodded. “I was wondering how you and Rubble got here, did another portal open up or something?” He added with the construction bulldog speaking up.
“Well… kind of… It takes a bit of explaining so…” Rubble started before the purple unicorn spoke.
“Well we don’t have the time, we really need to get these list items done.” Twilight explained before her assistant spoke up again.
“Come on Twilight, if Marshall can tell Zuma and Rubble everything that happened to him while we walk and talk, I’m positive they can do the same.” Spike said as the chocolate lab nodded.
“I’m down, so I guess I should start at the beginning.” Zuma said as the unicorn sighed in frustration.
(Flashback)
‘It started out right after you, Skye, Rocky, and Chase got zapped to all these other worlds.’
Zuma’s voice explained as he and Rubble were seen looking at the events that happened to they’re fellow Paw Patrol pups.
“Woah!” The two pups gasped as the water rescue pup’s tag lit up.
“Zuma, what’s going on?” The voice of the pup’s leader asked as the orange clothed pup looked on.
“Ryder… I… I don’t know dude… they… they just vanished in some kind of portal.” The labrador tried to explain the best that he could.
“A portal? Better be careful, and try to find another to send your buoy line through it in case the other pups see it and bring them back.” Ryder explained as the pups nodded.
“On it.” Zuma said as his tag turned off and he turned to the bulldog. “Alright Rubble, let’s find us a portal.” He told the construction pup who nodded as they both drove off.
‘So we were off to find out where our friends got sucked into. Though this adventure wasn’t as easy as we thought.’
While driving the two of them were looking around for a portal that would lead them to the other pups. Doing so they went up to a local farm where a man with blue overalls, a white shirt, and a red hat was giving a bucket of water to a light brown goat.
“Farmer Al, have you seen any portals around here?” Rubble asked as he got out of his rig.
“Not really pups, but you're free to look.” The farmer explained before a loud sound caught the four’s attention.
As they all looked up they saw a portal open up above the barn which shocked them all, as the goat flipped the bucket on his head.
“Well now I’ve seen everything!” Al said as the two pups turned to each other.
“Get back in your rig Rubble, I gotta get up there!” Zuma explained as the bulldog did so.
As he got in his construction rig, Rubble used the crane attachment to grab Zuma’s pup pack and lifted him up to the portal. When Zuma got there he used his buoy ring to go fishing for whatever was on the other side of the portal. Soon, Zuma got pulled into it and saw that on the other side there was a hippo.
“Um… hello.” The chocolate lab said, waving his paw.
“Hey little… oops!” The kind hippo replied unknowingly, letting go of the buoy ring and causing Zuma to wind up back in Adventure Bay spinning about wildly.
“Zuma!” The construction pup shouted with worry before lowering the crane. “Are you okay?” He asked.
“Yeah… that… that was a little weird.” Zuma replied as he regained his composure.
Just then another portal opened up far down the road.
“Look! Maybe that’s where our friends are!” Rubble said excitedly before quickly driving over to the portal. Not realizing Zuma was still attached to his crane.
“Wait, wait, Rubble WAIT!” The water pup shouted before getting dragged off by the construction vehicle.
‘So we kept looking for portals to go pup-fishing and while our method wasn’t the best… it was kind of all we could do.’
(End Flashback)
“I apologized after the second portal.” The construction pup said as the baby dragon and dalmatian just giggled at the situation they were explaining.
“Okay, I won’t lie. That was an… interesting story, but that doesn’t explain how the two of you ended up here.” Twilight said as the aquatic pup spoke up again.
“All in due time, dudette.” Zuma explained as the group kept walking.
“Yeah, I dragged Zuma all over Adventure Bay.” Rubble added with the water rescue pup just face palming in response.
Back in the Skylands coliseum, Tails and Ballistamon had just finished up with the updated heat ray to the fox’s arm cannon. Which melted Elf’s head free in about 3 to five minutes, not exceedingly fast but still far better progress than before this upgrade.
“Well I’m sure you’d like this to go faster but…” Tails started before the green skinned ninja spoke up.
“No, it’s okay. And a lot better than before. Thanks Tails.” Elf replied before the robot walked over.
“So now that we can melt Stealth Elf out faster, why not take the time to learn more about how Spyro went missing?” Ballistamon said as the lava creature spoke up.
“Oh! Can I tell this next part?” Eruptor asked with enthusiasm.
“Well you know Spyro roughly as well as me and Stealth Elf… oh why not?” Master Eon said as the lava creature put on a giant grin.
“Okay, okay. So after we got to class, Spyro’s ego led to Professor JetVac…” Eruptor started before grunting. “If I could move my arms I would point at the guy in blue armor.” He explained as the fox and robot nodded. “Anyway, Professor JetVac gave us a pop quiz the day before graduation.”
(Flashback)
‘From what Master Eon told us, he called in Spyro after the school day to chat about that very quiz score.’
As Master Eon stood in the library of Skylander Academy when someone knocked on the door. “Enter.” He said as his assistant Hugo walked in.
“Sir, I have your package.” The mabu said as he held out the white bag. “And his awesomeness Spyro is also waiting outside as you requested.” He explained with a deadpan tone.
“Go easy on the lad, Hugo. It’s not easy growing up an orphan, we are the closest thing he has to family, you know.” The old master wizard explained as he took the bag from his assistant. When he pulled the item out of the bag it was revealed to be a spray can with a picture of a beard on it. “;When your beard is getting weird, beard spray for men.;” Master Eon sang a bit of the jingle of the product he sprayed on his beard.
Just then the familiar purple dragon flew in as the wizard was applying the spray.
“Ah, my main man.” Spyro said as Master Eon quickly hid the can of beard spray behind his back while regaining his composure. “Master Eon.” He said while landing on all fours.
“Have a seat.” The master wizard said as the dragon did so on the floor. “Can you explain your performance on this air studies quiz?” He asked before handing it to the dragon.
“I can, but it won’t be a good explanation.” Spyro replied before seeing he got a D- and putting on a grin. “What!? I passed!” He said with joy as his caretaker just stoically turned to him.
“You passed. Barely.” Master Eon replied, seeming not too pleased about his score.
“Yeah, but I passed. You didn’t need that other word because I passed.” Spyro snarky replied before flying over to Eon. “Barely is a little judgemental.” He finished before his master trailed up the steps to a bookshelf by his sleeping quarters.
“Spyro, you're on the verge of becoming a Skylander. Do you know what that means?” The wizard said as he looked over the railing to the dragon.
“That I should start my own fan club?” The dragon cadet asked before the old master shook his head.
“You're missing the point, soon you’ll be part of something much bigger than just yourself.” Master Eon explained as the dragon put in little thought.
“Right, master of course. So you mean I should get someone to run my fanclub for me.” Spyro replied not getting what his master said. “So I’m gonna need headshots, right and oh, I should start practicing my autograph.” He added as his master just sighed.
“Come, let me show you something.” Master Eon said as he walked over to a bookshelf right next to a statue of his head. He lifted it by the beard which caused it to descend revealing another bookshelf.
“So it’s a bookshelf?” Spyro asked, unamused by what was happening.
“That’s not what I want to show you.” Eon explained before pushing a button on one of the books which caused a red scanner to scan his beard.
[Facial hair identified: Welcome Master Eon] A computer stated before the shelf opened up into a secret room.
‘What Master Eon showed him was the relics room, where several Skylander artifacts are stored. Along with a random candy cane from what Spyro bragged about. But the actual relic he was showing off was The Book of Skylanders, a tome holding every member of the Skylanders within its pages.’
Spyro was seen examining all the artifacts before coming upon the book. He looked on with awe before turning to the portal master. “Can I touch it?” He asked with wonder as Eon gave him the go ahead.
Spyro soon made contact with the book only to get zapped by the defensive shield around it, while Master Eon looked on while wearing a welding mask.
“It never gets old.” Master Eon chuckled before flipping a switch and turning the defensive magic off.
‘Personally I wish I was there to see that.’
“Upon graduation every Skylander is expertly drawn in this book by yours truly.” The master explained as he looked on stalwartly. “I’ve been looking forward to inscribing you, since I found you as a hatchling.” He explained in a somber tone.
‘You see Master Eon took Spyro in when he was first hatched, and despite how much of a rascal he was the guy was good at heart. The problem was ever since he took the Academy’s admission test and passed with the highest score to date his ego skyrocketed.’
(End Flashback)
“I tried to make it clear to him that the Skylander Graduation Test was far more strict, and that barely passing wouldn’t get him by.” Master Eon explained as the fox finished thawing the ninja girl out of the deep freeze.
“And that’ll do it.” Tails said as the elf stretched as she was now freed.
“Woo! That is a relief.” Stealth Elf said as the robot digimon looked up and saw the flying podium.
“Guys, look up there!” Ballistamon shouted as the trio looked to the skies and saw Kaos flying towards the Academy.
“We’ll be right back.” Tails stated as he flew off with the elf and robot in close pursuit.
Back in Equestria the pups, dragon, and unicorn were all arriving at Ponyville town hall.
As they entered Spike checked another thing off the list.
“Decorations, beautiful.” The young dragon said as he looked onward.
“Yes, the decor is coming along nicely.” Twilight added as she trotted over. “I’ll be at the library and getting you three pups back home in no time.” SHe said with content before the water rescue pup noticed how the dragon was looking.
“Um, I don’t think that’s what Spike meant by beautiful.” Zuma explained before the dalmatian and bulldog turned to see what he was gawking at.
They all see a white unicorn with a stylish purple mane and a trio of diamonds for her cutie mark.
“Wow, she’s fancy.” Rubble said as the white unicorn looked at various ribbons.
“No, no, no, oh goodness no.” The elegant mare said as she inspected each color with the young dragon just looked gooshy eyed.
“How are my spines? Are they straight?” Spike asked as he looked worried about how he was presented.
The purple unicorn soon walked up to the white one for a chat.
“Good afternoon,” Twilight started as the other mare was continuing her work.
“Just a moment darling, I’m in the zone as it were.” The white unicorn said as she tied a sparkly red ribbon to the banister. “Oh, yes, sparkle always does the trick does it not? Oh Rarity you are a talent.” She spoke to herself before turning to the group. “Now, um, how can I help you… woah! Oh my stars darling, what happened to your kufuor?” She asked with worry.
“Oh… you mean my mane?” Twilight asked as she noticed the mess RD left it in. “Well it’s a long story, I’m just here to check on the decorations and then I’ll be out of your hair.” She explained as the other unicorn just looked shocked.
“Out of my hair? What about your hair?” Rarity said as she pushed Twilight out of the building.
“Wait? Where are we going? Help!” Twilight said with worry as to what the other unicorn had in mind as Spike just drifted after them in a lovestruck state with the pups rolling their eyes and laughing.
As they left the building they soon noticed another portal appeared close to where they previously were. The water pup took notice of this and turned to his friends.
“Guys, I’m gonna check on that portal. Make sure nothing bad happens, why don’t you see where that Rarity girl is taking Twilight?” Zuma explained as the dalmatian and bulldog nodded in response before he went off.
“So, while we go to wherever Rarity wants to go, what happened while you were heaving Zuma around the multiverse?” The fire pup asked with Rubble realizing he didn’t finish the story.
“Oh, right!” The construction pup replied before another flashback started.
(Flashback)
‘Well, we started checking portals all over Adventure bay. And every time Zuma couldn’t see you guys anywhere.’
The water pup was seen going through a portal and scanning the other side which was a field on a floating island with sheep everywhere.
“Um… hi?” The labrador said as the whole flock looked at him with beady red eyes and showing sharp teeth while growling. “Um… Rubble, they aren’t here! They aren’t!” He shouted with worry before being dragged back to Adventure Bay right outside a cafe.
“What happened?” Rubble asked as he saw Zuma gripping onto the crane’s line tightly with fear clear on his face.
“I’d rather not talk about it.” The water rescue pup said bluntly before they went to the next portal next to a ski chalet.
On the other side of said portal the water pup fell into water in front of an island.
“Well, this isn’t as bad as the sheep.” Zuma said with some relief before the island seemed to open a large mouth that was slowly pulling the pup in. “This is worse than the sheep! This is worse than the sheep! RUBBLE!” The chocolate lab shouted in panic as he swam rapidly away from the mouth before Rubble pulled him back.
At the next portal which was right outside a pet grooming salon the water pup slowly walked in to make sure nothing would happen. And saw nothing but a field which didn’t really seem like a problem.
“Well… this isn’t so bad.” Zuma said right before he saw a stampede of robots charging his way. “And I just jinxed it.” He said before a red echidna raced over on his way to a barricaded city.
“Um… are you…?” The echidna asked before a bee-like robot buzzed over which the red creature with spiked boxing gloves punched.
“Nah, just looking for my friends. So can you handle the rest of them?” The water pup asked, pointing at the other robots.
“No sweat, just get back to your search.” The echidna said while cracking his knuckles.
“Thanks dude!” Zuma said as he jumped back through the portal which quickly closed afterwards.
‘We’ve been searching for hours on end and let me tell you, Zuma was facing way more dangerous stuff with each warp. We got to the point where we decided to both go into the next portal head first to see what was happening.’
The two pups did so when they noticed Ponyville and took time to look around before noticing the fire pup.
“Hey look, it’s Marshall! He’s okay!” Rubble shouted with joy before the portal closed.
“Rubble, the portal we…” Zuma shouted before it closed up. “You know what, this is fine, I’m sure one of the portals will pop up here and lead us back home.” He said before they raced over to the dalmatian, dragon, and unicorn.
(End of Flashback)
“And well, you know the rest.” The yellow clad construction bulldog wrapped up before they noticed where they were.
“Wow, what’s this place?” Marshall asked as the two pups followed the ponies and dragon into the fancy looking establishment.
“This is Carousel Boutique, my work establishment.” Rarity explained before she placed the purple unicorn into a stylist chair. “Now dear, let’s make you look fabulous.” She said with joy as Twilight just gulped in worry.
Back in the Skylands, Tails, Ballistamon, and Elf were looking around the library. The fox was flipping through books trying to learn about this prophecy Master Eon mentioned.
“Come on, that story about cross dimensional chosen ones has to be somewhere around here.” The twin tailed fox said with a hint of frustration as he was getting nowhere.
“Maybe we should take a break. Stealth Elf, you could tell us what happened after Spyro’s party.” Ballistamon said as the elven ninja girl stopped flipping through her book super fast and rolled her eyes with a grin… possibly, it’s hard to tell whether or not she rolled her eyes cause she lacks pupils.
“I guess you two do need to hear how this all ends.” Elf said as the fox flew over and stood next to the robotic digimon who was sitting in a reading chair like Elf herself was.
(Flashback)
‘Okay, so while me and Eruptor were finishing up our rounds in the Skylander games Spyro was just then realizing where he had to be at that point and time.’
The scene showed Spyro sleeping on the lawn when he inhaled some petals which led to him breathing fire and the water sprinklers popping up and spraying him gently awake.
“Oh man.” The purple dragon yawned while stretching. “Nothing like a good night's sleep followed by a brisk… horizontal shower.” As he got up and out of the flower bed.
In the distance Master Eon’s voice echoed over the PA system in the arena. “And now, candidate four, Hex!” He announced as the cocky dragon suddenly realized what was happening.
“The Skylander games!” He gasped in worry before flying to the stadium as fast as his wings could carry him.
At the arena Hex, a blue girl in a black cloak along with her companion, a skull in a bubble were both breathing heavily after taking out several robots.
“And finally, candidate five.” Eon said as he looked at the space where Spyro should have been and looked on in disappointment. “Absent.” He said just before the purple dragon flew in trying to keep a look of swagger going.
“Hey hey hey everybody. Looks like I made it practically on time.” Spyro said with wavering confidence as he and everybody there knew that for him to be any later he would’ve showed up when they were taking the platform for the event down.
‘He was lucky to make it there on time but… he didn’t do so well, a mix of anxiety, unpreparedness, and a bit of his cockiness led him to weaver in his round. He was literally thrown for a loop… and… well…’
At the ending ceremony Eruptor, Elf, and an orange creature with bumps all over his body named Bad Breath were named Skylanders with Hex not making the cut. Then it came to the last of this group.
“And Spyro,” The portal master said with the dragon thinking he might’ve gotten in even with his blunder. “Failed.” He said which caused the crowd to gasp.
“Eon says what now?” The flying reptile asked in confusion and slight worry.
“I warned you that your barely passing would not be good enough to become a Skylander. And it isn’t. So, you fail.” Eon said with the dragon looking utterly shocked as he was unable to reach his goal. “I am sorry, Spyro. But you will not enter the Book of Skylanders this year. I truly hope one day you will earn your place among us.” The wizard explained with a stern look and a heavy heart before taking his flying podium away.
The other cadets left as well with Elf staying a bit longer to see if she could comfort him… only to turn away knowing he needed to feel down on himself for the time being. As the crowd left it soon started to rain on the purple dragon.
“Okay universe, I get the point!” He shouted before thunder was heard in the distance.
‘When it came time for the official graduation ceremony he tried to support me and Eruptor… in his own way.’
Up in the sky words Spyro used smoke skywriting to create a message that read Congrats Eruptor and Stealth Elf love your awesome pal Spyro.
‘I mean at least he was trying. After that went down Kaos showed up and froze the book.’
In the courtyard of the stadium Spyro was getting a drink and churro while humming a little tune.
;I’m a good friend. A real good friend. Being supportive, sacrificing my time. Eat’n this churro, in a very supportive way; The purple dragon quietly sang to himself as he sipped from his drink just as a horde of mabu raced out. “Hey, what’s happening?” He asked one of the fleeing citizens.
“Kaos is attacking the Skylanders!” The mabu shouted with fear.
“What!?” Spyro gasped in shock before pausing for a bit. “Wait what I meant was,” He said before taking a sip from his drink and doing a quick spit take. “What!?” The dragon shouted with just as much worry.
“Oh that’s much better, that really conveys the urgency.” The mabu replied sincerely before Spyro flew into the arena.
‘Soon Spyro flew into the stadium to check on us and said he would do what he could to stop Kaos, and given that he wasn’t in the book Kaos couldn’t do anything to him. Which was good when that little warlock crashed Master Eon’s flying podium into the arena shortly after stealing it.’
“Yo, Pumpkin Head!” Spyro shouted as the little man made sure to grab the book.
“Pumpkin Head? Nobody calls me that.” Kaos said with the dragon just looking surprised.
“What!? Everybody calls you that!” Spyro explained before bringing up other names. “Also Cantaloupe Kid, Mellon Skull, Steve, Senior Cabesa Grande.” He explained as the second to last one caught the warlock off guard.
“Steve? What does that even mean?” Kaos asked with confusion before the dragon flew close to him.
“I have no idea, I assumed it was short for Steven.” Spyro explained before flying around him trying to get the book which Kaos tried to smack him with. “But what I do know, is you won’t get away with this.” The dragon said as the short man just gave a confused look.
“Sure I will, I’m like 98% done already. Actually I was just about to head out.” Kaos explained before trying to swat Spyro with the iced over book again. “Come Glumshanks.” He called out to his troll minion.
“So the waiter says ‘Sure I can open it, but there’s a corkage fee.’ and I’m like ‘Corkage fee, I’ll show you what to do with your corkage fee.’” Said troll minion said to a frozen over aquatic looking Skylander named Snap Shot.
“Glumshanks!” Kaos called out to his minion which led the troll to walk over to the short bald warlock. “Ugh, again with the corkage fee.” The warlock groaned before the dragon flew in front of the two.
“You're not going anywhere, Steve!” Spyro said in a mocking voice.
“Who’s going to stop me, you?” Kaos asked after he pushed his servant aside. “You're not frozen, which means you're not in this book. No book means no Skylander, which means you're nobody.” He said insulting the purple dragon who just shook his head.
“You're right, I’m not a Skylander.” Spyro started before a confident though less cocky smirk appeared on his face. “But I can still stop you.” He said before preparing a standoff with the warlock.
The duo have a standoff with black lighting and fire flying everywhere as Spyro kept trying to get the book away from Kaos but every fire blast was deflected by the short manchild who eventually zapped the dragon. Then he sent out an orb of dark magic that enveloped Spyro.
“Now who’s the Steve, eh?” Kaos cackled as the orb flew far out into Skylands, but not before breaking off a piece of Eon’s frozen beard.
‘Spyro was swept away by Kaos’s dark power and we didn’t know how to get him out. But Master Eon had a plan.’
The elderly wizard in blue soon used his magic to search for Spyro via astral projection of his head. When he located the dragon he found him asleep in the darkness orb.
“Spyro, you must wake up! The fate of the Skylands depends on it!” Eon’s astral projection shouted trying to get the dragon awake. “Wake up. Wake up!” He shouted to no avail. “Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!” He said quickly in desperation still not succeeding. “Hurry Skylander!” He shouted which finally got the dragon awake.
Spyro gasped awake as he saw the orb and quickly used his fire breath to try and break out. But not before the darkness orb flew through a portal.

“After that Eon lost track of Spyro, according to him he was sent through a form of distortion that took him out of our world.” Elf explained as the fox spoke up.
“And took him to my home world before I got sucked into another portal.” Tails added with the robot looking outside and seeing the warlock and troll on the podium outside flying around.
“Looks like Kaos is still flying around here.” Ballistamon said before the trio stood outside the door.
“Well boys, are you ready to take a crack at this guy?” Elf asked with both giving confident looks.
“Wait!” The digital robot said while blocking the other two from taking off. “How did Kaos get that book in the first place?” He asked.
“Oh, well.” Elf started as she got ready to explain that detail.
(Flashback)
Master Eon handed the book to Hugo who went to put the book back in the vault before coming across what was obviously Kaos dressed as a sheep which caused the mabu second in command to flip out and run away scared.
(End of Flashback)
“Wow, Spyro was right that Hugo does need a team of therapists to help with that fear of sheep.” Ballistamon said in a blunt and unimpressed tone.
“Definitely.”
“Without a doubt.”
Elf and Tails agreed respectively before they took off to battle Kaos.
Back in Equestria, Zuma was checking out the portal before the sky blue pegasus raced over.
“Yo, Zuma was it?” RD said before landing next to him. “What’s with the vortex?” She asked as the pup gave a confident smirk.
“I was just about to take a peak and find out.” The labrador said before turning to the rainbow maned pony. “Wanna come with, dudette?” He asked before the pegasus gave a confident nod as they both jumped in ready to face what might come next in this journey.
