At Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack was going out to start harvesting apples with her little sister, Applebloom. As they were on their way to the apple trees, Applebloom had to tell Applejack about the light show. Applebloom asked,
"Did ya see that light show that appeared in the sky, last night?"
Applejack replied to the filly, "Ah saw it, multiple colors appeared from eight symbols, Ah saw two of them beams hit the apple trees. We better see its alright before we harvest apples."
"What if those lights had a creature inside of it?" Applebloom asked frightenly.
"When ah find these creatures, we kick em out if there not nice." answered Applejack.
That was when the two ponies saw something in the trees, it looked like a mechanical dragon, it had mechanical wings and a helmet. One another tree, they saw a small creature with two golden-looking items, it carried on its back. Applejack was about to buck the tree with the dragon on it to get it down until she heard a familar voice and saw Twilight Sparkle coming towards her with Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and a couple of new friends, some she recognized as dragons. Twilight asked,
"Applejack, Are you harvesting apples today?"
"Ah was until Applebloom and Ah spotted these two creatures in the trees."
"Oh, good you found Dro and Trig." said Spyro.
"And Twilight, who are these, folk? The Great Dragon Migration isn't until tommorrow." asked Applejack as she pointed a hoof at the Skylanders.
Twilight introduced Applejack and Applebloom to the Skylanders, and told them about what happened to Spike. Applejack buck the tree silently to wake Drobot and Trigger Happy up, much less make them fall out of the trees. Trigger Happy told them as he was getting up.
"Why is everyone throwing us around like that? Dro, How's your suit, is it holding together?"
Drobot replied in a Booming voice, "Suit's systems are fine, no collateral damage."
Applejack commented, "Landsakes, thats a booming voice y'all got there!"
Trigger Happy asked, "Spyro, Why are we surrounded by talking ponies?"
Spyro replied, "Hold your guns, Trig. They're on our side."
Drobot responded, "Sonic Boom, Nice to see you again."
Sonic Boom replied, "Good to see you again too, Drobot."
Twilight said, "We better get to Fluttershy's cottage, if more Skylanders landed near her cottage. Spyro, any Skylander types you know?"
Spyro replied, "If Fluttershy's cottage is near a forest, Then the Life and Water Skylanders are there."
Applejack added, "There's also an area between Fluttershy's and Sweet Apple Acres, that we saw four brown lights strike."
Spyro remembered, "The Earth Skylanders might be in that area."
Meanwhile on Canterlot Mountain....
Pegasi guards have been sweeping the mountain, looking for what struck the mountain last night, led by Captain Speedster. They searched high, low, near the train tracks that goto Ponyville, and near the gate to the City. Captain Speedster was thinking about reporting that they found nothing on the mountain. Until one of his lieutenants called out,
"Captain, There are four unknown beings sliding down the mountain!"
Speedster replied, "Good work, Lieutenant."
As Speedster and his Pegasi Guards closed in on the unknowns, one of them looked like it was made from magma. The others were a blind-folded pointy eared creature, a suit of armor with its user as a living flame, and a Phoenix/Dragon hybrid. Captain Speedster said with surprise,
"Please tell me that Philomeena didn't get out and found four friends."
"Captain, They are heading for the gates. We need to warn the Captain of the Guards."
At the City Gates....
Ignitor, Flameslinger, Sunburn, and Eruptor were at the gates and were greeted by a guard wearing purple armor, while those who accompanied him wore golden armor. The Unicorn asked,
"Our Pegasi scouts, led by Captain Speedster spotted you four coming down the mountian. State your Business."
Ignitor replied, "We are just Skylanders looking for the nearest settlement."
The Guard paused and spoke, "Skylanders? Princess Celestia told us to keep an eye out for Skylanders after the discovery in the Canterlot Archives in the Starswirl the Bearded wing, but I..."
Flameslinger finished, "But you never expected for us to come so soon."
Eruptor asked, "Just a discovery in your Archives, made you know of us?"
The Guard replied, "We were told at noon to keep an eye out for any Skylanders, the Unicorn's magic, like mine was updated so we can detect any Skylanders. The Princesses saw you four slam into the mountain last night."
Sunburn asked, "Did they see anyone else come down?"
The Guard answered, "They saw eight symbols, one oddly resembled the star that both my sister and I have as our Cutie Marks. Eight beams seperated into four orbs, the orange one slammed into the mountain, I guess that was you four."
Eruptor informed, "Star on both yours and your sister's flanks? If that star oddly resembles the Star of Magic in Skylands, Then Twilight Sparkle is not close by."
The Guard asked, "How do you know my sister's name?"
Ignitor introduced, "Lets first start with introductions, We are the Fire Skylanders, I am Ignitor, the blob of magma is Eruptor, the blind-folded archer is Flameslinger, the Phoenix/Dragon hybrid is Sunburn."
The Guard introduced himself, "I am Shining Armor, Captain of the Royal Guard, and big brother of Twilight Sparkle, who in fact is Princess Celestia's student, not to mention that I have a dragon brother named..."
"Spike the Dragon." Sunburn finished.
Shining Armor said in shock, "Why are you searching for my sister and my dragon brother?"
Ignitor told Shining Armor a story, "Years ago, Twilight Sparkle was a little filly trying to learn alot about magic. She was accepted into Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, the only thing, she had to do was use her magic to hatch a dragon. When she nearly gave up, a rainbow shockwave kick-started her magic and hatched the dragon. Far away, in the magical world of Skylands, Master Eon, the Portal Master was looking at Twilight Sparkle's abilities and her skill at hatching the dragon. He was so amazed, he transmitted the Skylanders Element of Magic into Twilight Sparkle and Spike the Dragon. She has the Skylanders Magic Symbol on her flank to prove it, and I suspect that Spike went through his transformation, Spike and Twilight Sparkle are now Skylanders. Right now, Our home is in great danger, The Darkness is upon Skylands and Kaos is out making trouble, We need Twilight Sparkle and Spike the Dragon to come back with us to Skylands and help us defeat Kaos."
Shining Armor was stunned by the sudden turn of events, learning that his sister and his Dragon Brother are now Skylanders, learning of Twilight and Spike's origin of becoming Skylanders. Shining Armor decided one thing.
"I should take you four, to the library where Twilight used to work in. Cadance, Twilight's old foalsitter will be there for refuging any Skylanders."
Ignitor replied, "Thank you, Captain. I thank you for your kind hospitality, we all do."
Shining Armor answered, "Thanks, but please call me, Shining Armor."
At the Earthen area between Sweet Apple Acres and Fluttershy's cottage, Terrafin the Dirt Shark was burrowing all over the place, remembering his time as a lifeguard before taking up boxing. Dino Rang was writing in his journal about what happened when they arrived. Prism Break was posing as an ordinary rock with crystal shards sticking out of it. As for Bash, he was rolling around in a good obstacle course until he landed in front of a group of ponies. He noticed a couple of familiar faces.
"Spyro, Chop Chop, By the rocks, where have you guys been?"
Spyro replied, "We were in the neighborhood ready to gather up the Skylanders because we have to go to the capital city with our pony friends. We've also found our two hidden Skylanders here in Equestria."
Bash called to the remaining Earth Skylanders, "Guys, Spyro is here. We need to go with them."
Terrafin popped out, "Now this should be good."
Dino Rang brought out his boomerangs, "I wonder what we are needed for."
Prism Break broke out of camouflage, "As long as we can find a way back home." Prism Break's appearance got a certain gem-loving unicorn bouncing around the golem, admiring his crystal points. Twilight asked,
"You guys are the Earth Skylanders?"
Bash replied, "Yes, we are and you must be Twilight Sparkle."
Spyro spoke, "Guys, we need to get to Fluttershy's cottage to see if any Skylanders are there."
At Fluttershy's Cottage....
Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Spike and the Skylanders arrived to see Fluttershy caring for a four-armed yeti, a Water Dragon, a Gillman who carries a Harpoon gun, and a Crustacean that carries a water-spewing mace. There were four more of the creatures that were at Fluttershy's an assassin with pointy ears, a living tree (Fluttershy's dream), a Living Plant with a bazooka, and a Plant/Dragon hybrid, the hybrid really shocked Fluttershy.
Spyro yelled, "Gill, Slam, Zap, Wham, Stealth Elf, Zook, Camo, Stump Smash, you guys made it!!"
They all turned to the groups attention, they saw Spyro, Cynder, Wrecking Ball, Chop Chop, Hex, Drobot, Sonic Boom, Trigger Happy, Whirlwind, Bash, Terrafin, Dino-Rang, and Prism Break. Fluttershy came to the group and asked,
"Umm..Twilight, why do you have dragons in your group, and why do you have more of these creatures?"
Twilight replied, "I'll explain along the way, you and the rest of the Skylanders follow us to the Library, a chariot is coming to take us to Canterlot."
At the Canterlot Library....
The Fire Skylanders arrived at the Library and awaiting their hostess to give them hospitality. In the meantime, Ignitor layed down the plan,
"We'll rest here in Canterlot, as soon as the sun comes up, we go out and explore the city and by the next day we will be on our way to find Twilight Sparkle and Spike the Dragon."
"That won't be necessary, Skylanders. Twilight and Spike are already on their way to Canterlot, along with the rest of your fellow Skylanders." said a voice that caused the Fire Skylanders to turn around and see a Pink Alicorn.
Sunburn asked, "Are you Cadance, our hostess?"
Cadance replied, "Indeed, I am. I always thought that the Skylanders were just myths."
Ignitor replied, "Thats what we thought of Alicorns. They were once native to Skylands...until Kaos imprisoned them in the Outlands."
Cadance said in shock, "Well, Myths meet myths. Who is Chaos?"
Eruptor replied, "Kaos, K-A-O-S, He was the one who exiled us. He destroyed the Core of Light, the very essence of defending Skylands from the Darkness."
Flameslinger continued, "Kaos is an evil Portal Master from the Outlands, he attacked us, destroyed the core, and exiled us while the explosion of the core consumed Master Eon."
Sunburn continued, "Kaos appearred as a giant floating head, but in reality, he's not really that big."
Ignitor finished, "So we need to get back to Skylands and rebuild the Core of Light and defeat Kaos."
Cadance spoke, "Skylanders protect the Core of Light from Kaos. How many Skylanders are there?"
Ignitor replied, "Thirty-Two of us, four to each element, we are the Fire Element, there are Water, Earth, Tech, Life, Undead, Air, and Magic completes our team."
Cadance replied, "Thirty-Two in all, and four to each of the Eight Elements?"
Ignitor finished, "Well, now theres Thirty-Four Skylanders."
Cadance remembered, "Right, Twilight and Spike are Skylanders now."
Ignitor spoke, "As Fire Skylanders, we thank you, Ms. Cadance for your hospitality."
She saw as the Skylanders kneeled down and swore an oath that they thank her for her hospitality. What Cadance knows that the light show, the discovery in the Archives and the Arrival of the Skylanders would mean something to her one day.
