//------------------------------// // Cynder & Shiny // Story: Skylanders Fusionators 3: The Island of Huttsgalor // by Flameboy //------------------------------// Cynder was walking through town at the Skylands Market for accessories and furniture. It was about to be Christmas time, too. She was carrying a red purse with silver buttons with the strap on the back of her neck, and the bag itself hovering in front of her chest. During their time in the world of Skylands, each Hero was given a lot of coins, gold, jewels, and cards that say, "1,000,000 credits." And those exact credits can restart at the number they were given. Like, say, you spend 1,000 credits, instantly goes back to 1 million overtime. She was shopping through various shops. She recently stopped by the Skylands Meat Shop, where you, the reader, can probably tell that the Meat Shop housed all sorts of protein. Cynder was eating a chicken drumstick. Due to her draconic body, and her Venom Elemental Breath, as well as her saliva, she can be able to eat the gristles off of them. She can even crack bones and eat the marrow inside them like a tasmanian devil. She was about to eat her final drumstick until she smelled the scent of an ancient reptile. She looks behind her and sees no one, until she sees the back of the head of a light blue Pteranodon. "I can see the back of your pointy head, Shiny. But you don't have anything to fear. So can you please come out of the bush?" Cynder said gently. Shiny took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She reveals her entire head, and sees Cynder giving her a gentle smile. She walks over to the violet dragoness. "Um, excuse me, Cynder, but is it okay if I help you with your shopping?" She asked politely. Due to her lady-like persona, Cynder could tell that she really wanted to help. But, she could also tell that's not the only reason. "Sure. But, despite how you were hiding behind a bush, and the fact that you are politely asking to help me with shopping, I can tell that's not the only reason. So, tell me the truth -- why were you following me? Because I was pretty much starting to get furniture for the Undead Dorm for my fellow Undead Skylanders,... by myself?" Cynder asked. "Because I know you're not really here just to shop for furniture. You're just here to keep a secret from everyone and that you were about to eat Sparx," Shiny pointed out with her right finger. Cynder backed her head up a little and looked left and right. "Please, Cynder, just tell me what's been bothering you," she asked sincerely. Cynder sighed in defeat. "If you want to know, I'll tell you. Come here," she said as she told Shiny to lend her right ear to her. Cynder started to whisper. Unkown to them, Ember was flying above them. Then, she flew back to the Academy. ... "Are you sure?" Master Eon asked. "Yes. And maybe once Shiny comes through to Cynder, then they will be ready to join in our mission," Ember points out. "Yes. But, we can't wait for much longer. Huttsgalor will soon be torn to shreds. Dragons, you must go now and protect the Island of Huttsgalor," Eon said with a wave of his left hand to create a blue portal. "Skylanders! Go!" He yelled out as he points to the portal with the same hand. Spike, Ember, Spyro, Garble, Jonathan, Discord, and the other dragon members of the Extreme Squad went first. "This LITERALLY sucks," Jonathan said as he, followed by Michael, Saivon, and Luke, ran through the portal. ... The Rescue Rider dragons were pinned to the ground as Lurke, Vizza, and Snoop were about to strike the final blow on Huttsgalor's greatest defense. But then, a blue portal appeared and out from it a giant band of dragons came flying to the island with determination placed on their faces. The Rescue Rider Dragons, along with Dak and Leyla, and all the viking residents smiled as helped mysteriously arrived. All except for one. "Ooohhh, great. More dragons," Magnus Fink said sarcastically. Magnus was Huttsgalor's very own inventor who makes brilliant inventions --but most of them are not all brilliant when they cause harm to the village. True fact: He despises the Rescue Riders with every inch of his being. "As if we didn't have enough to worry about as it is," he finished. As the dragons landed, they all gave menacing glares while baring their fangs. Lurke, Vizza, and Snoop looked at them with wide eyes. Then, they turned tail and left the village and went back to their side of the island. The dragons saw a tiny viking with a big beard, and a blue shirt, along with a viking helmet, walking towards them with a big, happy smile. "Ah, so I'm guessing you're the Skylanders that my old friend Eon sent to help with our Slinkwing problem, right?" he asked. "Indeed we are. And you must be Chief Duggard," Spike replied back. Duggard arched his back, slumped his arms to his chest, and opens his mouth in shock. Dak and Leyla gasped along with every other viking, including Winger, Summer, Cutter, Burple and Aggro. "What? Was it something I said?" Spike asked. Duggard shook his head a little to get out of his current shock. "Well, of course it's something you said. You can talk!" He pointed out with his arms pointing at Spike with both his index fingers. Spike widens his eyes as he remembers the logic of this world. "Oh, yeah! I completely forgotten about that! Master Eon told us that the dragons of your world can't talk. But hey, we can help tell you what the dragons are saying if you want," Spike suggested. Then, Duggard looked to see a thin dragon with different body parts walking up on Spike's left. "Actually Spike, let me handle this. While we are here in your world, you won't have to hear roars after a snap of my fingers," Discord said as he raised his eagle talon. Spike glares at Discord. "Discooord. I don't think you should use your chaos magic to bend the rules of this world," he said. "Eon told you no, too," he reminded him. "Oh, please, Spike! Do you really think that while we live in this world, you would tell these "Huttsgalorians" what these five dragons are saying for the remainder of our time here?" Discord asked as he kept hisclaws up. Spike raised his left finger claw over to his right to point out the rules of this world with an opened mouth. But, then he realised that he was right. "You know what? You're right, Discord. It would be kind of tiring. Sooo, go for it," Spike replied back as he allowed Discord to carry on with his plan. Discord closed his eyes, perked his mouth up to the right side, and snapped his eagle claws.
