Imagined blinked staring down at the endless sky, "So what do you think will happen if we jump down there?" She asked looking up at Scientist, "You'd probably be falling forever" He responded, "I seriously don't know what reality this is" He glanced and saw a lone watermelon.
"But, might as well take some extra supplies" Scientist walked over to it and it suddenly blew up in his face leading to a green leafy lizard to jump out and snarl, "EWWWW!" Scientist gagged after smelling the watermelon.
The leaf lizard snarled approaching him but was met by Paradigm transformed into a Phoenix, "I dont know who the hell you are but you better BACK OFF!" She screeched at it.
It backed off slightly and she huffed reverting back, "Wow Sci we're going to have to get you cleaned up" Paradigm mumbled gagging at the smell, The Lizard blinked, "You....are a shape-shifter" She looked over.
"Yeah, and your a crazy lizard who just attacked my boyfriend, with a watermelon" Paradigm clicked her helmet off and it jumped back, "Your a.....human?"
It sat down, "Its best if I let Spyro decide what to do with you, this way" It walked toward a stone circle in the ground, The three followed, "Okay so you haven't actually told us your name" Imagined asked.
"Its Camo" He replied turning around, "I'd suggest you keep quiet and put that strange helmet back on your head" He flicked his tail up and the surroundings quickly changed to a large academy like building, "Come with me"
Imagined hovered to Scientists side, "Theres weird looking things everywhere Sci, are you sure you know where we are?" She whispered, He shrugged, "Afraid not" He replied.
"Camo!" They saw a Blue eel looking thing walk up, "Did you do it again?" It asked after looking at Scientist, Camp snorted and it sighed, "What did Whirlwind say about bringing it random things as prisoners"
Camo snorted, "Right, hang on there I'll get you cleaned up" The eel walked forward and spewed water onto his suit without warning, Imagined meeped and dove behind him.
"And you made my suit wet" He muttered, Camo huffed, "See Zap?" He flicked his tail, Paradigm rolled her eyes, "I've got it covered" She transformed and Zap jumped in response.
"Y-You turned into a Phoenix?" He yelled, Paradigm chuckled as she dried the water off if Scientists suit, "Well yes and no" She stepped back and reverted her form to normal.
Horus popped out of the rock and she smiled, "He's why" Paradigm pointed up at him, "Another Phoenix!" A Griffin called landing and hopping over alongside another Phoenix but it had four legs, "I can see Sonic Boom" It said walking up.
Horus landed infront of it and chirped, "He has a name right?" Sonic Boom asked kneeling down, Paradigm nodded, "Yeah, he's called Horus" The Griffin smiled, "Thats a cute name, what do you think Sunburn?" She asked.
Sunburn frowned, "It can't speak?" He asked, Paradigm shook her head, "Afraid not" A flamed up ball slammed into her then sending her skidding across the ground, "Then WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM TECH WITCH!" Sunburn screeched, flames burning her armor.
"The h-hell is your problem! I d-didnt do anything!" Paradigm groaned when the flames slithered through the armor, "Sunburn get off her!" He was hit by water and he scowled letting the flames die down, "Why did you do that Zap!" He yelled.
Sonic Boom frowned, "Because of your overreaction Sunburn, get off of her and apologise" She said sternly, He scowled climbing of Paradigm as she got up, "Not the first time I've been burnt" She muttered.
"Woah, what happened here?" A blue fluffy unicorn type thing landed, "Sunburn overreacted again" Zap explained, It cringed, "Yikes, hang on let me heal that for you" Zap walked over to Scientist and Imagined.
"Hey uhhhh Zap is it? Who's that unicorn thing?" He asked, Zap looked up, "Thats Whirlwind, she's half unicorn half dragon, she can heal injuries" He explained, Scientist hummed, "Huh, that's new to me"
The others then walked over, "So what are you guys anyways?" Paradigm asked, Whirlwind smiled, "We're apart of a group called the Skylanders, we protect Skylands from a small guy called Kaos, and when I say small I mean small" She snorted and shook her head.
"But anyways, what brings you three here? We don't usually get outside visitors" Imagined then flew forward, "We're sort of looking for someone, black hair, human same as these two" She hovered up to Scientists head, "Shes my sister basically"
Whirlwind tapped her wing on her side, "I can't say I've seen anyone matching that description, but Spyro might have, we'll take you to see him" She hopped along, "Who's Spyro?" Imagined asked hovering down, "He's the leader of the Skylanders, well someone called Master Eon used to be" Sonic Boom cleared her throat.
"He isn't anymore due to....an incident a while ago but Spyro does pretty well" She added on as they walked up a staircase, "There he is, Spyro!" Whirlwind jumped over and a purple dragon turned around, "Hey Whirlwind" He blinked, "Who are these three?"
"That- is a good question" Whirlwind looked at them, Scientist blinked, "Oh right we never actually- anyways I'm Scientist, this is Paradigm and Imagined" Paradigm waved and Spyro smiled, "Well, it's nice to meet you three, what brings you to Skylands?" He asked.
Imagined hovered over, "We're looking for my sister, Sci tracked her here" Spyro hummed tucking his wings in, "Do you have any pictures? It should help" Imagined nodded digging into Paradigms bag and pulling a piece of paper out and flying back over to Spyro.
The dragon stared at it a few moments, "Hmmm, I might have seen someone like that a few days ago, over by the Cloudbreak Islands, its not far from here, Whirlwind and the others can take you" He explained.
Whirlwind leapt up, "Road trip! Alright!" She called, Paradigm chuckled, "Dont worry about me" She transformed, "I'm already covered" Sunburn huffed and took off after Zap leapt onto his back.
Scientist climbed onto Paradigms back, "Still upset about it?" He mumbled, Sonic Boom shrugged, "He'll come around don't worry" She flew after Whirlwind and Paradigm followed her.
"Imagined right?" Sonic Boom asked her, Imagined flew over, "Yep, that's me" The Griffin smiled, "The one we're looking for you said she's your sister?" She asked, The other nodded in response, "Yeah she's my sister, what happened for her to end up here is....complicated" Imagined explained.
Sonic Boom stretched her body out, "Believe it or not I used to be a mother" She sighed, "a wizard found where I nested and cursed my babies to constantly hatch and be reborn" She explained, "If you'd like" the bird flew closer, "When we do find her I can ask the others to stay back and I'll come down with you"
Imagined smiled, "That would be nice, thank you" She perked up, "Hey! Whirlwind is that the location Spyro gave us?" She glanced down, "Sure is!" They dove down and Sonic Boom flew infront of the other Skylanders.
"Hang back here" She said, "too many of us might freak her out" Whirlwind nodded, "You got it" Her and Sunburn landed on a nearby island with Zap and Camo hopping off their backs.
Paradigm landed with a thud and lowered down to let Scientist slide off, "Nice looking hut" He said walking by it, He noticed someone stood there and held out his arm stopping Paradigm and Sonic Boom.
Imagined perked and darted around the corner with the three following close behind, "Ord!" She yelled zooming forward, the other woman turned around and blinked, "Who are you?" She asked and Imagined skidded to a halt, "W-What? Im your sister?" She replied.
Order blinked, "I'm sorry but I don't know who any of you are" Imagined lowered down at the response, "B-But i-" Scientist stepped forward, "Come on Imag, let's go" She squirmed out of his grasp and shot back over, "You know who i am! Y-Y-" She whimpered and slowly turned back to Scientist.
He lifted her onto his shoulder and noticed a very familiar AI come over, "Hey Anan" Paradigm said leaning down and letting him slither up her arm, "Good to see you again Paradigm, I wish I could tell you what's wrong with Order...but I don't know" He sighed.
Scientist heard a small cry of anguish from Imagined and hummed, "We should head back to the Island" The other Skylanders came over then, Sonic Boom also stepped forward, "We'll watch her for you, until you come back" Camo said sitting down and curling his tail around him.
Zap nodded, "We have a friend called Drobot, pass me your comms relay and anything he gets from you he'll pass on to us, contact him when you have found a solution and are coming back" He added on. Whirlwind smiled slightly flicking her ears when rift thing opened.
Paradigm knelt down and passed him a small piece of paper, "There you go, that's our relay incase you need us, we have your Realitys coordinates so we know how to get back" She glanced up at Order who wasn't paying attention, "Please keep an eye on her" She asked.
Sonic Boom nodded walking forward, "We will" Paradigm smiled slightly and got up following Scientist into the rift which closed shortly after.
"From what I can gather" Sonic Boom muttered tapping her wing on the floor, "Is that girl, knew who they were" She frowned, Sunburn nodded in agreement, "Then something happened, no villain in Skylands holds an ability to wipe someone's mind correct?" He chirped.
Whirlwind shook her head, "Nope, but let's keep an eye on her, first though" She spread her wings, "Lets tell Spyro about this, he'll need to know that this might also concern Skylands"
