"Thanks for saving us, you three." Sunburn said in gratitude.

"No problem." Pinkie smiled.

"Whoa! That means we got all the dragons here!" Mikey noticed as Sonata saw Terrafin guarding Flameslinger.

"Stealth, I'm assigning you sentry duty. You are to help Terrafin guard Flameslinger till he wakes up." Sonata requested.

"Understood, Mistress." Stealth Elf nodded.

"Or you’re glad to protect your crush, Stealth." Hex giggled before Stealth Elf playfully shoved her best friend.

"Shut up." Stealth Elf pouted.

Suddenly, Master Eon appeared. "Greetings, my friends. The dragons, most ancient and wondrous, need your help. Go with the Dragon Knight, Flavius, to the Island of Scalos. Help him free his king from the clutches of the undead dragon, Vathek, and restore him to the throne." Master Eon informed as a red male dragon flew by and around the ruins, carrying what looked like a giant dragon-shaped horn, before dropping it onto a hill. "Quickly! Sound the horn, and Flavius will carry you into the skies, and off to the Dragon’s Peak!"

"Spyro, get the other dragon Skylanders together." Mikey ordered.

"Hehe, I see where you’re going." Spyro smiled.

"Might as well make this one special." Pinkie shrugged as Spyro flew off and rounded up the dragon Skylanders.

"Everyone else, start searching for clues for the last element and brainwashed Skylander." Sonata added.

"Well, he’s hungriest out of us all, that’s for certain." Double trouble noted.

"Just find him." Mikey pointed out as the Goofballs and Dragons soon left and arrived at the Dragon Horn. "Let’s do this!" Mikey smirked before he blew into the horn, summoning Flavius as he flew by.

"For those who can’t fly, get on!" Flavius said as the individuals in question while the others flew behind.

Soon, they managed to reach Dragon’s Peak before Flavius dropped the Goofball Trio, Camo, Zap and Bash off at a location before the other dragon Skylanders landed there too.

"Whew! That’s a long flight. But I’d fly across the universe to help my King! My name is Flavius and I serve the great King Ramses! The greatest leader Dragon’s Peak has ever known!" Flavius explained.

"I admire your loyalty." Mikey smiled.

"He ruled these lands for centuries, and while he did, everything was great. Peace, harmony, you name it!" Flavius added.

"So what happened?" Sonata asked.

"One horrible day, I... I convinced King Ramses to go flying with me! All I wanted to do was take him out. You know, let him stretch his wings." Flavius answered.

"It's okay. You just wanted him to relax." Pinkie assured.

"But when I did, that's when HE came! King Ramses' horrible brother, Vathek. Oh, he is evil. A horrible dragon who always wanted to be king himself, and while Ramses was gone, Vathek sat on the Dragon's Throne." Flavius continued.

"Sonata, explain." Mikey requested in confusion.

"Some mystical species have artifacts that dedicate who becomes the leader." Sonata explained.

"She's right. You see, that's where all the power is. He who sits on the Dragon's Throne becomes the ruler of all Dragon's Peak. It's just the way things work!" Flavius agreed.

"How come you and the others weren't effected, Spyro?" Sonata asked.

"I don't think the eight of us are from here. Cynder and I are from Avalon." Spyro noted.

"I'm part Unicorn and Sunburn is part Phoenix." Whirlwind added.

"I'm half-plant, Drobot's wearing a robot suit, Zap was raised by electric eels, and Bash is a rock dragon. *Whispers to the trio* Just don't bring up his inability to fly, he's sensitive about that." Camo pointed out as the Goofball Trio nodded in understanding.

"And with the power of the Dragon's Throne, Vathek is now our king and has cursed poor Ramses and it's all my fault! Oh brave heroes, won't you help us?!?" Flavius requested.

"Relax, bro. We can handle it." Mikey assured.

"Thank you, but be careful over here, my friends. I'm sure that evil Vathek's got some sneaky tricks up his sleeve." Flavius warned before he flew off.

"Not mention an ugly flag." Bash added as he pointed a claw to Vathek's flag.

"Welp, let’s get moving! Heehee! I can’t wait to try out my Soul Gem ability!" Pinkie giggled.

"Just be careful." Mikey said as the group moved forward before encountering Chompy Pods and black Chompies. "Black Chompies?"

"Forget about the colors! Look out!" Sonata shouted as everyone scattered before they attacked.

"Now I'll show my power!" Bash growled before he roared, summoning a giant spiked stone fist from underground, uppercutting a Chompy Pod.

"My turn! Mikey, launch me!" Sunburn urged.

"Right!" Mikey nodded as he readied his hammer like a catapult. Sunburn charged into his Phoenix Dash attack as Mikey launched him. "Get him, Burner!"

"Phoenix Dash Divebomb!" Sunburn screeched as he charged with his improvised move and swooped down, taking out several Chompy Pods before crazy laughter was heard.

"That's not a good sound." Sonata dreaded before a Boom Fiend showed up.

"A Boom Fiend?! We gotta take it out before it self-destructs!" Sunburn urged.

"Leave it to me." Drobot assured as Sonata activated her mirror clones.

"I'll help." Sonata added as Drobot then began flying with his Afterburners activated, making fire appear on the inner edges of his wings. "Mystic Slash!" Sonata shouted as she, Drobot, plus her clones, managed to defeat the Boom Fiend before it could make the bomb it was holding blow up.

"Let's pour on the pressure!" Pinkie urged as the group used a bounce pad, reaching Ramses, but also encountering more Chompies and a Arkeyan Hammah, which had an impenetrable shield around it.

"Like that's a problem." Camo scoffed.

"Stone Wave!" Mikey shouted as the attack knocked out the Chompies, but the Arkeyan Hammah blocked it flawlessly, receiving no damage in the slightest.

"Burning Bone Ball!" Pinkie screamed while appearing from behind as she attacked, before the enemy blocked it too. "How do we beat this guy!?

The enemy was about to attack before Sunburn hit it dead-on with his Blazethrower attack, even damaging it. "Just as I thought, its defenses go down while attacking!"

"Perfect!" Mikey smiled as he threw his hammer, with the attack knocking the enemy’s skull right off, defeating it. "Ramses, you okay?"

But then the group noticed Ramses was stone.

"This is horrible." Sonata dreaded as he and Mikey noticed the stone starting to crack.

"You spoke too soon, Sonata." Bash pointed out before the stone suddenly morphed to flesh as Ramses was freed.

"Oh… goodness… you have all awoken me from an evil spell, great heroes. Thank you." Ramses said in gratitude.

"Glad to be of service." Pinkie smiled.

"Flavius brought you lot here, didn’t he? Heh heh heh, I should have known. He may not be the brightest fire burning, but he’s very loyal." Ramses admitted.

"We're ready to fight, your highness." Pinkie responded.

"My villainous brother Vathek has seized the Dragon Throne and all the power in Dragon’s Peak. BUT perhaps you all can stop him? I don’t have much to give you in return, great heroes, but I promise you would have my eternal gratitude." Ramses requested.

"That's okay, your highness. Just promise us your brother will be justly imprisoned." Mikey replied.

"He's still your brother." Sonata added.

"Of course, although I’m afraid Vathek’s curse has made me far too weak to fly at the moment… but Flavius can take you where you need to go. Use the Dragon Horn to call him." Ramses informed.

"Thanks." Mikey smiled before he headed for the horn.

"We can assign a bodyguard if you need it." Sonata offered.

"I am alright, young one. But beware, my brother Vathek will have his evil minions and treacherous traps waiting for you! Go forth, brave heroes. I must… rest for now." Ramses responded as Mikey blew the horn with Flavius appearing.

"We got a tyrant to overthrow." Pinkie declared as those who couldn’t fly jumped onto Flavius as they started heading for their next destination.

"I sure never get sick of this!" Flavius smiled while dodging flying stones.

"Gotta say, would be awesome to fly through these." Mikey admitted.

"Yeah..." Bash sighed.

"I can't fly either, bud. Neither can Camo." Zap pointed out.

"Uh-oh! Air mine coming up!" Flavius noticed.

"Dro, you and the others clear us a path!" Sonata requested as the flyers managed to nail the mines for clear a path for the others.

"Ha! Take that, you dumb… mine." Flavius laughed as the group dodged floating rocks and destroyed mines before they soon arrived at the next island as Flavius dropped the non-flyers off.

"Dro, anything on your scanners we should know?" Zap asked.

"More Boom Fiends, Chompies and a Chompy Pod ahead." Drobot informed as Spyro suddenly flew in with a scroll.

"Not to mention we have a clue on where to find Vathek, we’re looking for a giant rock spike." Spyro added.

"Dro, stay in the air and scan for the place. Take Sunburn and Spyro for protection." Mikey ordered.

"Affirmative." Drobot nodded as he and his security flew higher for more scanning range while the others started fighting the enemies with the Boom Fiends first.

"Tidal Slash!" Sonata shouted as Cynder fired her lightning breath with both attacks destroying the Boom Fiends. "We're making great time."

Camo went underground and erupted, firing watermelons using his Melon Fountain attack, hitting the Chompies and Chompy Pods, but he didn't notice an enemy coming at him from behind.

"Camo, look out!" Mikey called out while launching Bash.

"Now!" Bash roared while rolling up before he nailed the enemy and saved Camo.

"Thanks." Camo said in gratitude.

"I see another Dragon Horn ahead!" Pinkie noticed.

"I got it!" Sonata assured.

"Cover her." Mikey ordered as Sonata made a break for it while the others kept the enemies off her.

"Here we go!" Sonata declared as she blew into the Dragon Horn with Drobot and his security hearing that.

"Sounds like we have to move." Spyro noticed.

"Route detected and planned." Drobot said as those who couldn’t fly ran forward and jumped onto Flavius before Spyro, Cynder, Sunburn, Whirlwind and Drobot took flight.

"This never gets old!" Flavius smiled.

"Dro, how long till we reach the throne?" Mikey asked as Flavius shot fireballs, destroying some air mines.

"Another air mine ahead!" Flavius pointed out.

"We're heading down the correct way." Drobot informed as Spyro destroyed the rest of the air mines in the path.

"Good work, everyone! Vathek won’t stand a chance against us!" Flavius cheered.

"That tyrant's days are numbered." Pinkie said as lavius soon dropped the non-flyers at a location with the winged dragon Skylanders landed before they soon encountered some Dragonets and another Boom Fiend.

Pinkie picked Drobot and held him like a machine gun before cocking him like one. "...Run."

"Whoa boy…" Sonata sweated a bit before Pinkie opened fire while everyone else took cover.

It was only a minute until the enemies in the area were defeated as Pinkie blew the smoke out of Drobot's eyes. "Aren't we pressed for time?"

Whirlwind suddenly arrived with a Winged Hat. "Yeah, let's go."

The group started going up bounce pads as Spyro showed up with an Archaic Codex. "There's a couple of Dragonets and an Arkeyan Hammah ahead."

"I got an idea. Bash, Sunburn... Get ready for a Burning Meteor." Mikey declared.

"Tell me you're not..." Sunburn dreaded with a bead of sweat before Bash threw him onto his back and Mikey launched them into the air.

"Get ready to burn, buddy." Bash said.

"This is gonna hurt." Sunburn responded as Bash curled up and started spinning as the hybrid fired it up.

"Take cover!" Mikey shouted as the Arkeyan Hammah was about to attack before the Skylander Meteor crashed into the enemies and destroyed them

"HAHAHA! THAT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!" Bash laughed wildly.

"Ugh... I'm definitely gonna need to rest after this." Sunburn groaned.

"Admit it, that was cool!" Bash smirked.

"Well, there's another Dragon Horn ahead." Sunburn noticed.

"My turn!" Pinkie smiled.

"You guys did crazy combination attacks with them all day, Spyro?" Sunburn asked.

"Like you wouldn't believe." Spyro answered.

"I like them!" Bash smiled as Pinkie sounded the horn, causing Flavius to show up before the non-flyers jumped on with the winged dragon Skylanders taking flight.

"Oh, I can fly like this for days. In fact, I hope I do." Flavius noted.

"Right now, take us to the throne." Mikey requested.

"Okay, but I'll have to take you to the bottom of the mountain so we don't get caught." Flavius replied as the flight fortunately only required dodging rock obstacles this time before they soon arrived at a location. "I'll see you at the top. *Flies off*"

"Looks like we'll have to fight our way up... Perfect." Mikey smirked while twirling his hammer.

"Dragon fire traps up ahead." Cynder pointed out.

"Cynder is right. We need to be careful." Cynder agreed.

"Alright, let's go!" Pinkie declared as the group moved forward, getting past the traps before encountering a few Chompies and beat them. They then went up using bounce pads, encountering Chompies and Boom Fiends. "I'm barely breaking sweat with these guys!"

Pinkie attacked enemies as Mikey showed up with a treasure chest before the group encountered Arkeyan Hammahs.

"Gonna need another Electric Wave." Sonata noted.

"I got these ones." Whirlwind assured as the enemies were about to attack with the female hybrid charging her Rainbow of Doom before she fired a Rainbow Singularity, a rainbow black hole that drew the Arkeyan Hammahs in and defeated them before the attack faded.

"I like her." Sonata smiled as Sunburn sensed something.

"I’ll be away for a bit. And there’s another Dragon Horn up ahead." Sunburn said before flying off.

"Ok?" Mikey replied in confusion as he went and blew the horn while the others waited before Flavius then showed up.

"Get on!" Flavius urged.

"What about Sunburn?" Pinkie asked.

"Don’t worry, he’ll catch up." Zap assured as everyone left without Sunburn. It didn’t take long for the group to land at a higher destination before Sunburn caught up with his Soul Gem.

"You okay, Sunburn?" Sonata asked.

"Yep, still good to go." Sunburn confirmed.

"Dro, are we getting close to the throne?" Mikey checked.

"Arkeyan Hammah ahead with dragon fire traps." Drobot answered.

"Thanks?" Mikey responded in confusion again as the group managed to defeat the enemy before Pinkie got a treasure chest.

"Let’s go!" Pinkie shouted as the group got past the traps and flew up with a bounce pad, only to encounter some Dragonets.

"That's gross." Sonata said.

"Think of them as the dragon version of hornets." Camo explained as Mikey stepped back, remembering the Parasitic Wasp

"They only shoot fireballs from their stingers." Zap added.

"Sounds like you and me can swat this thing." Sonata noted.

"Yeah, but they can take a few hits." Zap replied.

"So let's hit them hard!" Sonata declared as both she and Zap created a path of water to conduct the water dragon and Cynder's electricity. "Now!" Sonata shouted as Zap and Cynder let their electricity loose, defeating the Dragonets. "Science for the win."

"Let's keep going." Sunburn said as Mikey eyed the evil dragon flag, enjoying the future sight of it burning.

"Let’s move!" Mikey declared as the group flew up by bounce pads, dodged dragon fire traps and reached the mountaintop, seeing a building up ahead with a dragon on it.

"I think we're here." Pinkie noted as the dragon saw the group.

"Sssso, that old fool Ramsssesss sssent you, did he? You’ve come to take the Dragon Throne from me, have you?" Vathek said.

"That throne doesn't belong to someone as evil as you!" Mikey growled.

"Well it’sss mine, do you hear me?! Sssstay away… Essspecially you, daughter of Malefor." Vathek declared as Cynder grew sad and ashamed.

"Hey, leave our friend alone!" Sonata hissed.

"These minionsss are loyal to the Throne. THEY will punish you all for your treachery." Vathek said, referring to the Chompy Pods and Arkeyan Hammahs in the area.

"Scared to fight us yourself?! Your brother must've had the spine in your family." Pinkie tried to insult Vathek, only for the evil dragon to scoff, unaffected by that taunt.

"How about we beat these bad guys to show him what we’re made of!" Spyro declared.

"Skylander Meteor coming up!" Mikey smirked.

"No, please! Not again!" Sunburn dreaded before Bash grabbed Zap this time as Mikey launched them both.

"Uh-oh." Zap gulped as his electrified slime coated Bash and they smashed right into Vathek's lackeys down the middle. The attack defeated the Chompy Pods as the Arkeyan Hammahs jumped down.

"Whirl, with me! Let's rain fire!" Sunburn declared.

"Right!" Whirlwind agreed as the remaining enemies were about to attack before Whirlwind spun in the air to create a storm cloud and Sunburn seeded it with fire for it to rain fireballs, with the combo attack annihilating the enemies.

"Come on, Vathek! Fight us!" Mikey growled.

"Those minionsss are sssuch weaklingssss! But you can’t keep defeating them forever! A few more ssssshould do the job." Vathek hissed before he walked away as the group needed to get up to him.

"Pathetic." Sonata scoffed as Pinkie went higher to the right, returning with a treasure chest as Mikey bounced up to the left, returning with a royal crown.

"At least we know how to get up there now." Mikey noted.

"Let's take him down!" Spyro declared as the group jumped up bounce pads until they reached the top, finding themselves in an arena with Vathek on the throne.

"Cursessss. I’ll summon all the minionsssss! You can’t possssssibly beat all of them!" Vathek declared as Arkeyan Hammahs appeared, followed by Boom Fiends, Dragonets, Chompies and more Arkeyan Hammahs before Pinkie grabbed Drobot again and readied to fire.

"I know how to use this!" Pinkie said.

"You two can’t do this alone this time, Pinkie." Sonata pointed out as Zap readied to shoot lightning and Mikey got ready to launch Bash.

"FIRE!" Pinkie shouted as the trio launched their combined attack with the force of a tank shell with it defeating all of the enemies in the arena except the Hammahs as they were about to attack.

"Everyone else, now!" Sonata roared as she, Pinkie, Drobot, Sunburn, Spyro, Cynder, Whirlwind and Camo all attacked the Hammahs, obliterating them. "That's the last of them."

"Thessse minionssss are WORTHLESSSS! I’ll do it myssself!" Vathek snapped as the undead dragon jumped down, ready to fight the group.

"You're gonna be in a world of hurt, punk!" Mikey said before Flavius flew in and sat on the throne, making him gain a glow with a fire crown-like construct to flash on his head.

"Ha! I’ve taken the Throne, Vathek! And as you know, by Dragon Law, that means you no longer rule Dragon’s Peak! YOU are completely powerless!" Flavius smirked as that left the Goofball Trio and dragon Skylanders surprised before Vathek turned back.

"OH NO!!!!! I can’t believe I fell for the oldessst trick in the book!" Vathek realized.

"All part of our plan. Told you it would work, Flavius." Pinkie smiled, playing it cool.

"Now you’ll pay for betraying Ramses!" Flavius declared as a bright light suddenly erupted and started covering the area.

"NOOOOOOOOOoooooooo…!!!" Vathek roared before the light soon faded, revealing the undead dragon turned to stone to the group.

"He got off easy." Sonata noted as Ramses was later back on the throne.

"Ah! So good to be home again! Well done, Flavius. And you all too, brave heroes. Now, sadly, what to do with my own brother. I suppose I will have to banish him." Ramses said.

"No, he's still your brother. You can't give up on him." Sonata responded.

"She has a point. He makes a pretty good statue." Flavius agreed.

"Perhaps you're both right. But I am curious, you could have kept the Throne for yourself, and yet you did not... Why?" Ramses asked.

"Because, great Ramses, there is only one true kind of Dragon's Peak, and it is you. The Throne will be yours until the day you decide you are done with it." Flavius explained.

"Loyalty is more priceless than gold." Mikey noted.

"Well, when I do, loyal Flavius, I know exactly who will take my place. And of course I must thank our Skylander friends most of all. Without your bravery and heroism, none of this would have been possible." Ramses said.

We were just doing the right thing, your highness." Mikey assured.

"Flavius will take you all back to the ruins. Farewell, friends." Ramses responded as everyone smiled before they headed back.

"I hope Vathek changes someday." Sonata said.

"Ya know, that petrifying move reminds me of somethin'..." Mikey remembered.

"Yeah." Pinkie agreed as the group soon returned to the Ruins.
