Chapters Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
At the Core of Light Ruins, the Goofball Trio and their new Skylander allies were now rested up and ready to find Cali.
"So, what ninja clans do you belong to?" Stealth Elf asked.
"The Hamato Clan." Pinkie and Mikey answered as Sonata gulped nervously.
"The Foot Clan." Sonata said before Stealth Elf kneeled at Sonata and revealed her Foot Clan tattoo. Needless to say, Sonata was shocked.
"I am yours to command, my mistress." Stealth Elf bowed.
"And my friends? You don't have any problems with them?" Sonata asked.
"Not in the slightest, since the Hamato Clan is the sister clan of the Foot Clan." Stealth Elf answered.
"Didn't see that coming." Mikey admitted.
"Karai will flip when she hears this!" Pinkie noted.
"Not that this isn't important, but we got to get moving." Spyro pointed out.
"He's right. The sooner we find Cali, the sooner we get to work." Wham-Shell agreed.
"Right." Sonata said.
"All rested and ready to go?" Flynn asked.
"You bet!" Pinkie answered with a smile.
"Everyone in." Flynn instructed as everyone got into the balloon.
"I just hope we find some of the others…" Spyro worried.
"How many do we need to find?" Mikey asked.
"Twenty-four." Wham-Shell answered.
"Not an army, but at least we'll have reinforcement." Sonata noted.
"Yep, I'll have this Cali eating out of the palm of my hand in no time. And who can blame her? I mean look at me! Boom! Ready for take off!" Flynn shouted as the balloon then started floating off.
"Be careful." Pinkie said in concern.
"Don’t worry, I’m the best pilot in all of Skylands." Flynn shrugged off before the balloon knocked into a pillar. "You see how I was able to hit that? That takes years of practice and skill. I know, amazing, right? You can thank me later."
A little while later, they arrived at a peaceful island.
"We’re here!" Boomer cheered.
"So hey I think we should find this Cali as soon as possible. It’s just not fair to deny the girl the pleasure of meeting me. I’ll scout out from overhead, meanwhile, you see if you guys can find her on the ground!" Flynn said as everyone else got off the balloon.
"Just watch yourself." Mikey advised as he and the others walked ahead as Flynn left. "Wish we had some time to train with these."
"We’ll improve on the way." Sonata responded before they approached a clearing when several creatures holding lances attacked.
"Drows!" Flameslinger yelled.
"What are Drows?" Pinkie asked in confusion.
"Short version, bad guys." Terrafin simplified.
"Okay." The Goofball Trio responded as Mikey charged at one.
"Let's see what this hammer can do!" Mikey said as he tripped and slammed his hammer onto the ground, causing a rock wave attack. "Whoa!"
Sonata blocked a Drow's attack as it advanced.
"Try channeling your elemental powers into your swords." Wham-Shell advised while whacking some Drows.
"Okay." Sonata responded as she jumped back and did so, causing a torrent of water to engulf her swords. "Here we go!" Sonata said as she threw the water like a projectile and nailed the Drow. "Bull’s-eye!"
Pinkie was doing well with her new weapon. "This is so awesome!" Pinkie cheered when suddenly, her flail ball detached as a skeletal projectile. "Whoa! Flying skull!"
"Help! Somebody help me!" A voice cried out.
"Huh?" The Goofball Trio noticed as everyone found a Mabu, trapped by Drows.
"You guys go on ahead, I'll rescue him!" Sonata said.
"Be careful, Mistress!" Stealth Elf responded as Sonata skidded down towards him.
"Hey, anyone ever taught you guys it ain't right to bully people?" Sonata quipped as the Drows turned towards her as she tried her move out again. "'Cause I don't like bullies!" Sonata said as she practically threw a cyclone at the duo of Drows. "You okay?"
"Y-Yes." The Mabu answered.
"Wait, you’re that Mabu from the village, right?" Sonata noticed.
"Yes. My name is Blobbers." The mabu responded.
"My name is Sonata." Sonata introduced herself.
"Thank you. I owe you my life." Blobbers said in gratitude.
"Okay, but first let's catch up to my friends." Sonata replied.
"Okay." Blobbers nodded as he and Sonata found the others fighting off Drows.
"Yikes!" Sonata yelped before Mikey slammed his hammer down to create a barrier.
"Thanks, Mikey." Spyro said in relief.
"Everyone, get behind it!" Mikey called out as everyone scrambled to cover as the Drow's advanced.
"Boomer, can you rig up some explosives on that gate?" Pinkie asked.
"Yeah!" Boomer answered.
"Okay, rig up some charges and Sling will blast us out of here." Mikey planned.
"Very well. Let the flames begin!" Flameslinger said with his battlecry.
"Everyone else, cover Boomer!" Mikey added as everyone attacked the Drows while Boomer set up the explosives. Flameslinger ran, leaving fire trails in his wake as the Drows unknowingly stepped into them, getting burned.
"Sling, behind you!" Sonata called out as she fired some water, nailing a Drow that tried to attack Flameslinger.
"Great timing." Chop Chop said as he slashed a Drow.
"I try to help." Sonata smiled before Drows piled onto Wham-Shell and knocked his mace away.
"WHAM, CATCH!" Mikey called out as he threw his hammer to Wham-Shell, who caught it and whacked the Drows off of him.
"I owe you one, Mikey." Wham-Shell said.
"No biggie." Mikey grinned.
"Charges set. GAH!" Boomer yelled as a Drows stabbed his lance into Boomer's leg.
"Boomer!" Goofball Trio and the other Skylanders shouted as the Drow pulled Boomer down with him.
"Got ya!" Pinkie said, grabbing Boomer before pulling him up as Spyro knocked the Drow off his friend. "You okay?"
"Yeah." Boomer responded as tested his leg and it was injured. "Ow. Maybe not."
"Too bad Whirlwind isn't here." Stealth Elf noted.
"Who?" The Goofball Trio asked in confusion.
"Friend of ours. You guys go on ahead. Me and Stealth will hang back with Boomer." Spyro insisted.
"Okay." Sonata responded as she and everyone else went on ahead while Spyro and Stealth stayed behind with Boomer before Flynn arrived on his hot air balloon.
"Whoa! What happened?" Flynn gasped.
"Never mind that. What's up ahead?" Mikey asked as everyone saw a female anthro mammal trapped behind a gate with several locks.
"Oh yeah! I was on my way to tell you that was where Cali is! She’s not half bad. Oh, and she’s been captured by a bunch of evil Drow! We gotta save her, so she can get on with more important things… like thanking me. Boom!" Flynn boasted.
"Looks like they have a cyborg dragon with them." Pinkie noticed.
"What?!" The 5 Skylanders asked in shock as among the Drows stood the Skylanders' Robot Suit-Wearing Dragon friend, but something was wrong.
"Drobot, my friend. I am relieved to see you alright." Lightning Rod sighed in relief.
"Dudes, hold up! I’m getting major Brain Worm vibes here." Mikey dreaded.
"Enemies sighted." Drobot said.
"Drobot?" Lightning Rod asked in concern.
"Preparing to attack." Drobot informed as he launched his Tactical Bladegears attack at his own friends.
"I knew it! He’s being mind-controlled!" Mikey said as he was deflecting the spinning bladegears.
"I'll save you, my friend!" Lightning Rod declared as he charged at Drobot, taking his attacks and ignoring the Drows until he tackled Drobot.
"Release me!" Drobot ordered
"No, I won't give up on my friend. I'll save you just like you saved me." Lightning Rod responded before a huge bolt of lightning struck him and Drobot. "Remember Drobot. You saved me from the Land Whale, my friend."
"F-Friend?" Drobot asked before his suit of armor started sparking.
"Rod, get clear. He's going to blow!" Mikey panicked as he whacked a Drow before Drobot's armor stopped sparking and then he went completely limp.
"He overloaded." Wham-Shell noted as Lightning Rod set his friend down and grew very angry.
"This Kaos guy’s gotta be sick in the head." Sonata said.
"You harmed my friend... NOW YOU SUFFER MY WRATH!!!" Lightning Rod roared as the Drows feared for their lives before he released a powerful lightning bolt that attacked even his friends.
"Take cover!" Chop Chop shouted.
"Uh-oh! Zeus Wrath incoming!" Pinkie yelped as everyone took cover while Lightning Rod tore the Drows apart before the enemies retreated at Lightning Rod's fury as he calmed down, panting in exhaustion.
"You okay, buddy?" Terrafin asked as Lightning Rod coughed out some smoke.
"Aye, but Drobot..." Lightning Rod was about to say before Drobot's eyes glowed their normal colors
"Ugh…" Drobot groaned.
"Drobot!" Lightning Rod said in relief.
"Query; What happened?" Drobot asked.
"You were under our enemy's control. How do you feel?" Lightning Rod responded.
"High levels of guilt and anger." Drobot answered as Mikey walked over to Cali's cell.
"It's okay. It wasn't your fault." Sonata sympathized.
"You're Cali, right?" Mikey asked.
"That’s right. Who’re you?" Cali retorted with her own question.
"Name's Michelangelo. Stand back!" Mikey said as he swung his hammer at the gate, breaking the gate open around Cali
"Wait, some of your friends are Skylanders, aren't they!" Cali noticed.
"Yeah, but we have one injured. We best scram before back-up arrives." Pinkie responded.
"This is unbelievable! I was just rescued by actual Skylanders!" Cali said in excitement.
"All in a day's work." Lightning Rod smiled as he picked up Drobot before Flynn showed up with Spyro, Boomer and Stealth Elf in his balloon.
"Ahem... and uh, ME. I helped! Flynn the Balloonist here, that's me, at your service!" Flynn said.
"Charming." Cali sarcastically responded.
"Yes, yes, I know. It must be pretty overwhelming for you to finally meet the best pilot in all of Skylands." Flynn boasted.
"How's Boom, guys?" Sonata asked.
"He's doing well, Mistress. But it looks like he'll have to stay at the Core of Light until he's fully healed." Stealth informed.
"Okay, let's move. Wanna come with us, Blobbers?" Sonata offered.
"S-Sure thing!" Blobbers answered.
"Let's move it, people." Mikey urged as Cali got onto the balloon with everyone else.
"You know, I didn't need any help back there. I had them right where I wanted them." Cali said.
"Sure you did." Flynn responded.
"Whatever..." Cali sighed in annoyance.
"We understand. We're just grateful both you and Drobot are safe." Pinkie responded before they left on the balloon as three sheep grabbed on to the rope.
Soon, the heroes arrived back at the Core of Light.
"Back! Back you vile beasts!" Hugo yelped/
"What's with him?" Sonata asked, weirded out by that.
"He’s got an abnormal fear of sheep." Spyro answered.
"Come on, sheepies. Follow me." Pinkie smiled as she herded the sheep away from Hugo.
"Honestly, Hugo! They’re just sheep!" Cali said in annoyance.
"That is where you are wrong, my dear Cali. These creatures may appear to be friendly, cuddly, piles of fluff. But turn your back on them and they turn into wretched lint-balls with beady little eyes staring at your every move." Hugo responded, sounding a bit delusional.
"Terra, mind helping me with the sheep?" Pinkie asked.
"Sure." Terrafin answered.
"Sorry about the lint-balls Hugo, but we were able to rescue Cali.
"Actually, it was Mikey, Pinkie, Sonata and the Skylanders who rescued-" Cali was about to say before Flynn cut her off.
"Oh... oh Cali. Stop with the praise! It's embarrassing. Entirely appropriate... but embarrassing.
"Hey! Could we please get on to the important thing?" Hugo pointed out.
"So, what's our next step?" Mikey noted as Pinkie and Terrafin made a sheep pen.
"Well, while you were all away, I found the old blueprints for the Core of Light. The ancients used them when they first built it." Hugo informed.
"Wait a second... I thought you said YOU built the Core of Light." Cali pointed out.
"Well, yes and no. Yes, I said that I did... but no, I really didn't." Hugo responded.
"This Core of Light... What's it do?" Sonata asked.
"The Old Core was used to repel the forces of darkness. If we can rebuild a new Core of Light, it should stop Kaos from his wicked plan to rule Skylands. Then we can focus on getting rid of those villainous sheep!" Hugo said.
"Wait, if Drobot was under Kaos' control..." Spyro realized in dread.
"The rest of our companions might be too." Chop Chop finished.
"Here we go again." Mikey facepalmed.
"Guys, fighting them might be the only way to save them." Sonata pointed out.
"Yeah." Pinkie nodded.
"They're right." Spyro admitted.
"As much as we hate to admit it." Stealth Elf agreed.
"Guess we'll have to knock some sense into them." Wham-Shell noted.
"So, what's our next move, Hugo?" Terrafin asked.
"The Far Viewer will help us find the parts we need to rebuild the Core but this cursed, overgrown bramble is blocking it off. Could you assist us? Clearing the bramble could give us a clue to the whereabouts of the Eternal Sources we need." Hugo informed.
"Chop Chop, Stealth Elf... We got some gardening to do." Sonata quipped.
"Of course." Chop Chop responded.
"Right, mistress." Stealth Elf nodded as it didn't take long for their combined skills the clear the plants away. But when the three sheep got onto the device, it suddenly bursted open, revealing a telescope as it launched away the sheep.
"You did it, guys! And wow, not only will that Far Viewer help us see distant lands but it also functions as a sheep-launching device! It’s marvelous!" Hugo smiled.
"Here, I'll show you how to use this thing. It's pretty much like a telescope but a lot more magical. This one's a little rusty, but it should be able to show us exactly where we need to go next. That's the magic part." Cali said as she got the telescope up and running.
"Uh, sorry about your sheep Pinkie." Stealth Elf apologized.
"It's okay. Accidents happen." Pinkie shrugged with a smile.
"So what do you see, Hugo?" Mikey asked as Hugo looked into the telescope.
"Yes! I see it right now! The very first Eternal Source we need, Air! The Core of Light was powered by all the Eternal Sources. If we can acquire that Air Source, we will be well on our way to rebuilding it!" Hugo informed.
"How many Eternal Sources are there?" Sonata asked.
"Only as many Elements there are, which are eight." Hugo answered.
"Okay, give us the short version of each elements." Mikey requested.
"There’s Magic, Tech, Life, Undead, Fire, Water, Air and Earth." Spyro listed.
"Fascinating. Each elements acts as a counterbalance to the other." Pinkie deduced with a detective's hat on her head.
"Whoa! When’d you start sounding like Twilight?" Sonata noticed.
"Just makes sense." Pinkie simply replied with a shrug.
"So where's the Air Source?" Sonata asked.
"It's the Stormy Stronghold! The evil Drow must have recovered the Eternal Air Source but something has gone wrong. The whole place is being blown apart!" Hugo informed as Flynn moved to the telescope.
"What's wrong, Flynn?" Pinkie asked.
"My balloon’s gonna need something… something that will PUSH me… THROUGH the storm! Heh… enh…" Flynn trailed off, lost in thought.
"You mean like a propeller, genius?" Cali sarcastically pointed out.
"Duh." Sonata agreed.
"No. No. Nothing like that. Oh you girls are so cute when you’re flirting with me. I’ve got it. We need some kind of propeller!" Flynn said.
"Really? REALLY?!" Cali growled.
"Easy, Cali." Pinkie said.
"He ain't worth it." Mikey agreed.
"Fine! Everyone knows the Drow patrol the Sky Schooner Docks. Their Elite Airship will have the propeller we need. Tell you what, brain-trust, you get back to your balloon. I'll mark it on the maps with a big crayon." Cali said.
"HEY! I LIKE CRAYONS!" Flynn pouted as the Goofball Trio snickered at the stunt Cali pulled as she turned towards them and the Skylanders.
"Gonna take me a while to find some maps for it. Best rest while you can, because this is gonna be a big adventure, and I'm your girl. But adventure takes a lot of preparation. If you three or any of your Skylander friends need some training before heading out, I might have some challenges that will do the trick." Cali advised.
"Sweet!" Mikey cheered.
"And I will accompany while Boomer recovers." Drobot added.
"Okay. Let's eat first." Mikey said as he and everyone else decided to rest while Cali searched for the right map.

At the Core of Light ruins, Terrafin sat, completely worried about a certain griffon Skylander.
"Hey Fin, you okay pal?" Sonata asked in concern as Terrafin saw her and Flameslinger behind him.
"Uh, yeah. Yeah." Terrafin nervously said.
"Thinking about Sonic Boom, buddy?" Flameslinger noticed.
"Yeah, and her kids." Terrafin answered.
"A mother Skylander?" Sonata noted in confusion before the two best friends explained Sonic Boom's past and the curse. "I think I know that curse."
"Say what now?" Terrafin asked in surprise.
"I'm a Siren from Equestria, my sisters and I know about old spells and curses." Sonata informed.
"What about an antidote or cure?!" Flameslinger gasped in anxiety.
"I'm not sure." Sonata responded as Voodood showed.
"It’s called a reversal spell. Besides, Voodood thinks Sonata hasn’t see the curse in action yet." Voodood pointed out.
"I haven't. Sorry." Sonata apologized.
"Let's just get to the Stormy Stronghold." Terrafin simply said as Flameslinger felt sorry for his best friend.
"If it’s okay, I’m gonna be staying here, just in case trouble finds us." Spyro noted.
"Me, too." Boomer agreed.
"Flynn, we're ready." Mikey called out, but Flynn didn’t pay attention.
"Finally. An awesome balloon for an even more awesomer pilot. Boom!" Flynn boasted.
"And the others call us Absent-minded?" Pinkie asked with a bead of sweat.
"He may be that, but at least he knows some stuff about engineering." Wham-Shell answered.
"Onward, my companions!" Chop Chop declared.
"Oh, it’s got a fuel injected croc-a-gator. A vacuum seal-a-tron and a jet-streamed thrust capacitor. Oh yeah, I’m so good I did it all myself… even had a few parts left over!" Flynn listed before turning towards the group. "Ready to go, Chief?"
"That was quick!" The Goofball Trio gasped in surprise before they and everyone else climbed in as Boomer and Spyro waved goodbye for now.
"Let's eat!" Boomer cheered.
"Cool." Spyro smiled.
"Okay! Let’s see what this baby can do!" Flynn declared as the balloon flew off without bumping into anything this time.
A while later, the group arrived at a broken up fortress.
"Wowsers!… Note THAT’S A TWISTER! And it’s ripping the castle to pieces! It’s almost as impressive as me. Almost. Looks like the little Drow-dudes found the Eternal Air whatsamadingus and now they’re trying to harness its power. I guess." Flynn noticed as the balloon landed away from the twister.
"Looks like some light defenses. We may be able to get the Eternal Air Source easily." Sonata said while looking through binoculars.
"One problem with that, Nata." Mikey pointed out.
"Yeah, I see it. Looks like the storm is tearing up the path." Sonata noticed,
"No problem. Drobot, fly above and give us aerial support." Pinkie asked.
"Well now, looky there: some kinda bridge. ‘Course right now it’s just a big bunch of giant swirling chunky things stuck in the vortex of a killer tornado. But hey! All you gotta do is figure out how to rebuild it. CAKE!" Flynn shouted as Drobot took off as the others forged ahead before Drows suddenly charged at them.
"Skeletal Grasp!" Pinkie roared, but when the skeleton hands rose to attack and grab the Drows, they were suddenly forced back underground by wind. "I am loving these powers!"
Everyone found new Spellpunks coming at them as Sonata asked. "What's with the wardrobe change?"
"No wonder Pinkie's attack didn't get them, they were practically projectiles. We're facing against Air Spellpunks." Lightning Rod noticed.
"So, let's hit them high. Drobot, we need a bombing run." Mikey requested.
"Affirmative. First target shall be Air Spellpunk." Drobot said as he dove down and open fired at the Spell Punks.
"Give Dro some back-up!" Mikey ordered while charging as he and everyone else attacked from all sides while Drobot fired from above.
"Aw yeah! How you like that?!" Pinkie cheered as Mikey got pinned by some Drows until Voodood came at them swinging.
"Friend ok?" Voodood asked.
"Behind you!" Mikey yelled before a Drow suddenly tripped and got zapped, then blown up behind Voodood as the orc smirked.
"Magical Tripwire Bomb." Voodood said. As everyone plowed through the enemies, they closed in on their path. The group soon arrived at a pylon as reinforcements charged at them. The pylon looked like a screw with a crescent moon on top that had electricity surging as reinforcements had Drow Witches among them.
"I can screw it down." Sonata said.
"Everyone else, form a barrier." Mikey ordered.
"Understood!" Stealth Elf responded as she and everyone else covered Sonata from the enemies.
"Timber!" Mikey shouted as he made a tree erupt under a group of enemies, knocking them upward into the air while Flameslinger was taking aim.
"Bullseye." Flameslinger smiled before letting his burning arrow fly, hitting the mark on an enemy Drow.
"Got it! Move it people!" Sonata informed while with the lightning pylon screwed in, the twister weakened as a piece of the bridge and fortress was put back in place.
"Next one up ahead." Pinkie noticed.
"I got the enemies!" Wham-Shell said as the group forged forward before they reached the next pylon. "LR, Voo... Electrify my starfish!" Wham-Shell requested as Pinkie was screwing the pylon in.
"Very well!" Lightning Rod responded as Voodood agreed with a nod before Wham-Shell fired his starfish as the duo charged them.
"Jelly-Starfish!" Wham-Shell shouted as the electrified attacks stunned the enemies.
"Hit them hard!" Sonata said.
"Poseidon Strike!" Wham-Shell yelled as he pierced his mace into the ground, creating an electric fielded that shocked the enemies more.
"It's down!" Pinkie informed with the pylon screwed down as the twister became weaker with another piece of the bridge and fortress were put back together.
"Just two left!" Mikey counted as everyone forged ahead. "Got any other weapons, Dro?"
"Eye lasers and bladegears." Drobot answered.
"Fire the gears at Stealth! Stealth, time to play shuriken sniper!" Mikey ordered.
"Okay!" Stealth Elf replied as Drobot unleashed a swarm of bladegears at her and caught them all. "Silent but Deadly!" Stealth Elf let out her battle cry as she threw all of the bladegears, with each and every one of them hitting an enemy.
"Great shooting!" Sonata smiled.
"I try my best, Mistress." Stealth Elf responded.
"Last push, then we get the Eternal Air Source!" Mikey said before he finished screwing down the pylon as the twister was almost gone with a piece of the bridge and fortress put back together.
"Terrafin, you and me strike hard!" Sonata planned.
"Alright!" Terrafin responded as the last pylon was guarded by Drows and Air Spellpunks.
"Twin Blade Boomerang!" Sonata shouted as she threw her swords with them spinning like whirlpools.
"It's Feeding Time!" Terrafin let out his battlecry with a roar as mini-sharks started jumping in and out of the ground, charging at the enemies.
"Next stop: Pain Central." Sonata quipped.
"Last one is down!" Pinkie informed, screwing in the last pylon as the twister vanished completely, making the bridge and fortress whole again. "Okay, storm the fortress!"
"Charge!" Mikey roared with Pinkie sounding a trumpet as the group got to the entrance of the fortress, only to encounter a Windbag Djinni.
"Djinni's easy to beat." Voodood smiled when suddenly, everyone heard an ear piercing scream.
"T-That voice!" Terrafin gasped as the group saw a griffon flying around, above the fortress.
"I'm guessing that's Sonic Boom... And my eardrums are bleeding." Sonata noted.
"Somehow, I’m liking the gryphons from Equestria better." Mikey admitted.
"You guys handle the Djinns, I got Sonic Boom." Terrafin said.
"Not alone, you don’t! And we’ll have to get to the top of this fortress!" Sonata pointed out.
"Same here, buddy." Flameslinger agreed.
"We'll draw them away so you guys get in. Good luck!" Mikey said.
"Thanks! Sling, Fin! Come on!" Sonata urged as Mikey, Pinkie and the others hit the enemies hard enough that they didn't notice Sonata and company sneaking by. As Sonata, Terrafin and Flameslinger were sneaking by, they came across a soul gem that had the face of a sky-blue turtle on it.
"Boom!" Terrafin called out before he kept going up as Sonata grabbed the Soul Gem, then she and Flameslinger went after him. Sonic Boom glared at the group before the trio got to the top of the fortress as she was guarding the Eternal Air Source. "Boom, it's me. Terrafin. You remember me?"
Sonic Boom only growled as Flameslinger drew an arrow.
"No choice, pal." Flameslinger said as Sonata drew her blades.
"Sling’s right about that." Sonata agreed as Terrafin's heart broke at that.
"I'm sorry." Terrafin apologized as the trio attacked Sonic Boom before she screeched, sending out sonic waves. The trio scattered to keep Sonic Boom off balance as Sonata was grabbing some rope.
"Slinger, lasso rope!" Sonata called out.
"Very well!" Flameslinger responded as he tied an arrow before Sonic Boom summon her kids.
"Those are her chicks?" Sonata asked in surprise.
"Yeah, they popped out of those eggs she threw." Terrafin answered as Sonata blocked the screams with her swords.
"Try not to hurt them." Sonata planned.
"Can do." Terrafin smiled as Flameslinger came at Sonic Boom from behind and fire the rope arrow at Sonata before she caught it.
"Restrain and detain, boys!" Sonata ordered.
"Got it!" Terrafin responded as the trio ran around Sonic Boom and tied her up before the griffon started cutting herself free. "Soni..." Terrafin said before he kissed her as that surprised Sonic Boom so much that she fell unconscious before Terrafin caught her.
"We got the Element, buddy. Just be careful with her." Flameslinger advised.
"Sure thing." Terrafin responded.
"Let’s hope the others are okay." Sonata said as the Eternal Air Source was a small twister inside an oval-shaped mystical container. "Incredible."
"Hey, guys. We got to get moving." Mikey said as he, Pinkie and the others showed up.
"Everyone in one piece?" Sonata asked.
"A few scratches, but nothing some food won't fix mistress." Stealth Elf answered.
"Good point." Sonata admitted.
"So that is the Eternal Air Source." Lightning Rod noticed as everyone started heading back.
After a short trip back to the Core of Light, Master Eon explained the Air Source. "Well done, everyone. Your retrieval of the Eternal Air Source has summoned me back to these ruins. There is strong magic in this place, and by its power, the Eternal Sources know how to combine with the ancient machinery of this island to recreate the Core of Light. Behold." Master Eon said as the Eternal Air Source flew into the center of the ruins, causing a small twister that brought in stone very small floating islands that each held a stone golem as they went onto the ground and got into position before the twister faded, revealing the center, now more technological. Needless to say, the Goofball Trio were simply amazed as they got back onto land and Sonic Boom woke up before Pinkie's Geode and Mikey's Medallion reacted and shined a blast at her and the griffon's children.
"What's going on?" Sonic Boom asked in worry.
"I think I might know." Sonata smiled as Sonic Boom looked at her chicks, and for the first time they didn't revert back to eggs.
"Am I hallucinating?" Sonic Boom gasped.
"No, Soni. Our new friends has cured your children's curse." Terrafin answered as Sonic Boom's eyes started tearing up.
"Thank you!" Sonic Boom cried with happy tears.
"Hey, I’m glad we could help. It was the least we could do." Sonata responded in great relief.
Meanwhile, in the depths of the Kaos’ Kastle…
"Oh… WHAT?!" Kaos gasped as he fell off his Portal of Power that was his eyes before Glumshanks showed up.
"Something wrong, sir?" Glumshanks asked before he looked into the portal and saw what was going on. "Oh! Look, Lord Kaos. They found the Eternal Air Source."
"I can see they found the Eternal Air Source! You fool! But looks who’s with them! Eon! But how can this be?!" Kaos asked as Glumshanks lifted him back onto the portal. "I blew him up! Kaboom! Splat! Done! But look at him!"
"Well, at least he doesn’t have his body." Glumshanks noticed.
"Right! Obviously, somebody’s helping him, but who? And what are they up to?" Kaos suspected.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, master... But I thought there were 32 Skylanders, not 35." Glumshanks pointed out.
"Eh, wha? 35?" Kaos said in confusion.
"Well, I’m no expert as you know, but I think the extra three down there are warriors from outside of Skylands, which means they’re from another world. So there could be another Portal Master somewhere, and they’re probably rebuilding the Core of Light." Glumshanks theorized.
"WWWHHHAAAAAAAAAAAATTT?!" Kaos gasped in shock as he fell off his portal again. "We CAN’T let that happen! Find the other Eternal Sources! I don’t care where they are, just get them!"
Kaos walked off in rage as Glumshanks looked at the portal again. "Oh, boy."

"The Eternal Air Source has been integrated into the Core! Oh this is coming along very nicely indeed, but I’ll need some time to figure out our next step." Hugo informed.
"Take your time, Hugo." Sonata said.
"Meantime, I think you could use some rest, Lightning Rod." Pinkie added.
"Very well." Lightning Rod nodded.
"Why don’t you guys go investigate the docks. There seemed to be a real ruckus coming from over there." Hugo suggested.
"Okay. Wham, you and Boomer come with me as back up." Pinkie said.
"Ya sure, Pinkster?" Mikey asked.
"Yeah, ‘cause who knows what could be down there." Sonata agreed.
"The three of us will act as scouts. If things get ugly, Boomer will signal for back up." Pinkie pointed out.
"Yeah! Have flare!" Boomer agreed as he brought out a flare. The trio walked down to the beach and found a fish creature in a cage.
"What's that?" Pinkie noticed.
"That’s a Gillman." Wham-Shell informed.
"Say, if you are going to eat me, you should know that I’m really salty and kinda high in cholesterol." The Gillman said.
"Ifb U arr eabt me… I’b saltby and phat too." The Lockmaster Imp mocked.
"Oh great. Someone get me out of here!" The Gillman urged.
"Summon getty underwear! Hahahaha!" The Lockmaster Imp laughed.
"Sheesh. I actually had to sit here and listen to that monster make up recipes, and I was the main ingredient! UGH… This is just the worst. Um… a little help? Please? Take a look inside the lock and see if you can grip the tumblers." The Gillman asked.
"Give me a second." Pinkie responded as it didn't take long for her to unlock the cage. "You okay?"
But then the lock fell apart with the imp being launched out of it as the cell opened with the Gillman walking out. "Holy Carp, that was close! I came here looking for Skylanders, but instead I ended up in that cage and was almost made into Gillman Goulash!"
"Well, you came to the right place." Pinkie smiled as Hugo showed up.
"Hmm. You wouldn’t happen to have any sheep on you, would you Mister Fish?" Hugo asked.
"Gurglefin." The Gillman introduced himself.
"Gezuntheit." Hugo said.
"No. My name. It’s Gurglefin. I’m a Gillman. Not a fish. And where would I even keep a sheep anyway? I’m not wearing any pants." Gurglefin explained.
"Oh. Right. I-I see." Hugo noted.
"Well, what's the problem Gurglefin?" Pinkie asked.
"I’ve been looking for you, Skylanders. I come from a nearby island where trolls have taken over and enslaved the rest of my kind. Please help us." Gurglefin explained.
"We'll do what we can." Wham-Shell said as Pinkie came back to the others and explained the situation.
"Hmm. Trolls. Very dangerous. Not like sheep mind you, but still. No offense, Boomer. You guys should help them. They’re obviously in a fine kettle of fish. Oh… sorry." Hugo apologized.
"Watch it, mole butt." Gurglefin growled as a ship showed up.
"I'm coming with you." Sonic Boom said.
"You sure?" Pinkie asked in concern.
"I owe you a debt. I will repay it." Sonic Boom answered as Sonata showed up.
"Are ya sure it’s not also to hang out with Terrafin?" Sonata smirked.
"Hey, I'm still in the ring!" Terrafin pointed out.
"I'm coming, too. That's my best friend's people in trouble." Spyro added as Voodood was snoring, showing the others that he needed some rest.
"Drobot, you're in charge till we get back." Mikey said
"Understood." Drobot replied.
"Great. I knew you were all right. Are you ready to shove off to Oilspill Island?" Gurglefin asked.
"Team's ready." Mikey answered.
"Finally! Someone who takes me seriously! No cracks about “the one that got away” or a “really big fish story”. Sheesh! Okay, let’s go!" Gurglefin urged as the group got onto the ship before it started to set sail.
"Um… Yeah… By the way, you might want to hold on to something." Gurglefin advised before everyone else screamed as gravity took into effect with the ship fell off the waterfall, before it suddenly flew into the air.
"That wasn't funny!" Pinkie growled.
"I did say to hold onto something." Gurglefin reminded.
A while later, the group arrived at Oilspill Island.
"Geez, glad Fluttershy isn’t here." Sonata noted.
"You know, this used to be such a beautiful place, before the trolls came and started drilling for oil. They give it all to Kaos, for his crazy machines. And then if things weren’t bad enough, they captured my people!" Gurglefin dreaded.
"Gill... I'll find you, buddy." Spyro sadly said.
"But now you’re here. Go take care of business, Skylanders. Free them and teach those trolls a lesson. And hurry! I can already smell the cooking fires and tartar sauce!" Gurglefin shivered.
"Okay, listen up. First priority is rescuing the Gillman. Check your attacks on civilians and explosives. Everyone understand?" Mikey asked as the rest nodded at that.
"Hurry! Save our people before they become FISH STICKS!" Gurglefin urged.
"You heard the fish! Move out!" Mikey said as the group moved forward and stepped foot into enemy territory, only to encounter Troll Greasemonkeys wielding wrenches.
"Tratior!" A troll growled as Boomer brought out a stick of dynamite.
"Hehe! Make bad guys blow up!" Boomer laughed.
"Fore!" Mikey yelled as he swung his hammer and launched Boomer's dynamite, causing the dynamite to blow up in the enemy troll’s face, sending him flying, but the gate was still locked.
"Back to back, don't let them surround you." Sonata ordered.
"Looks like we need to solve an energy beam puzzle." Spyro noticed as Mikey saw more trolls coming.
"Solve it. We'll stall for time!" Mikey urged.
"Kay. There’s one crystal to redirect the energy beam, and from where the receiver is. How to solve the puzzle’s pretty obvious." Spyro noticed.
"Then do it. Wham, Fin you two come with me and draw them away!" Mikey said.
"Got it!" Terrafin responded.
"Okay!" Wham-Shell agreed as he, Terrafin and Mikey rushed up and drew the Trolls away from the others.
"Guys, Gillmen ahead." Pinkie noticed as Spyro solved the puzzle, opening the gate.
"Let's go." Sonic Boom said.
"Boom, you okay buddy?" Sonata asked.
"I'm fine. Let's go." Sonic Boom responded before repeating herself as the group moved forward. Sonata noticed a Soul Gem with Wham-Shell’s face on it above the water before she dove into the water and got it. But when she came out, she coughed violently.
"The water's polluted." Sonata coughed.
"Whaddya expect? It’s oil." Spyro deadpanned.
"I better walk on the water next time. " Sonata mentally thought to herself.
"Guys, trouble ahead!" Pinkie pointed out as she and the rest of the group encountered a Tech Spell Punk.
"Great, they do Tech." Sonata sighed as she combined her blades.
"Still not a problem for us!" Stealth Elf said.
"Watch out for aiming lasers!" Boomer called out as more troll greasemonkeys showed up.
"Sonic Boom, give us an opera concert! Boomer, give her pyrotechnics!" Sonata ordered.
"Full Scream Ahead!" Sonic Boom let out her battle cry.
"Bring the Boom!" Boomer let out his battle cry as well as Sonic Boom screamed loud and he threw his dynamite into the screeching waves, turning them into projectiles as they hit the Spell Punk and enemy trolls, before Stealth Elf took advantage of their disorientation and struck them.
"See that? That's the power of teamwork!" Sonata smiled.
"No doubt!" Spyro agreed as he and everyone else thundered deeper into the factory. Suddenly, large number of Trolls ambushed them.
"Boys, looks like they need help." Mikey noticed from the village.
"I'm with you, Mikey!" Wham-Shell smiled as he created a tree with his hammer and the trio brought it down.
"Charge!" Mikey yelled as he, Wham-Shell and Terrafin slammed their makeshift battering ram into the trolls' factory. "Come on, guys! Gillmen are ahead."
"Let's get these Gillman free before reinforcement get here." Terrafin added.
"Whoa! Talk about timing!" Sonata gasped in surprise as she, Spyro, Boomer, Sonic Boom, Pinkie and the others caught up with the trio. "Good, everyone is here. Boomer thinks he has a way to blow the refinery. Tell them, Boomer."
"Big bomb into smoke stacks!" Boomer cackled before Blaster Trolls, Troll Grenadiers and Mark 31 Troll Tanks showed up with more Troll Greasemonkeys.
"Get those Gillman out. I can use a work out!" Terrafin smiled before an energy beam suddenly nearly hit everyone. "Yeow!" Terrafin yelped as he and everyone looked, seeing a familiar rock golem.
"Prism, snap out of it!" Wham-Shell urged, but the rock golem growled as his arms started lighting up. "Scatter!" Wham-Shell yelled as he and everyone got to cover before Prism Break fired.
"Your element, Terrafin?" Mikey asked.
"Yeah he is. Why d’ya think he’s a rock golem?" Terrafin rhetorically asked.
"I got an idea. See if you can get him to nail himself!" Mikey smiled.
"That’ll be hard without reflective weapons or crystals." Terrafin pointed out.
"I got that covered." Sonata assured before she breathed in deeply and sharply as her water abilities started sparking. "Come on, rock for brains! Hit me with your best shot!" Sonata taunted before Prism Break fired a beam at her. "Oh no!" Sonata dreaded before she spun her blades with water sparkling with strange electrical energy, creating whirlpool reflectors. "Fool me once, shame on me. But when you see a trick once, you can beat it." Sonata quipped as one of the beams got to the whirlpools, suddenly pulling a u-turn as the other beam grazed Sonata’s shoulder as the reflected beam hit Prism Break right on the forehead before he fell to the ground, unconscious.
"My lady!" Stealth Elf gasped in concern.
"Don’t worry, it only grazed me. And it’s not the first time it’s happened." Sonata assured.
"The Gillmen are free!" Pinkie cheered.
"You did it. You know, I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes. I hate to say it though… but we still need your help." Gurglefin sadly pointed out.
"We know. We have a plan to blow the refinery." Pinkie remembered.
"Yeah, it’s this factory. It’s polluting our waters and generally mucking things up. It’s ruining everything. Please help us destroy it! Say, you know, if you could get your fins on a Troll Bomb, maybe throw it into that big smoke belcher. I think that would do it! KABOOM!! The trolls would be gone, our home would be safe and then maybe I’d run out of things to complain about! Although probably not." Gurglefin said.
"Hahaha! Got Troll Bomb right here!" Boomer laughed, bringing out a Troll Bomb.
"Flameslinger, you, Terrafin and Spyro evacuate Prism Break And the Gillmen to a safe distance. We'll meet up after the fireworks." Mikey ordered.
"Understood!" Flameslinger responded.
"Follow us, everyone!" Spyro called out as he, Flameslinger and Terrafin helped the Gillman villagers evacuate while carrying Prism Break as the others forged ahead.
"Boomer, set the explosives!" Sonata ordered.
"You got it!" Boomer smiled.
"Incoming Trolls!" Sonic Boom informed.
"We’ll hold ‘em off!" Pinkie said while Boomer triggered up a bomb as the party girl and others fought. Sonic Boom saw a Troll about to shoot Pinkie.
"WATCH OUT!!!" Sonic Boom yelled as she attacked the Troll hard.
"Thanks." Pinkie said in gratitude.
"It’s the least I can do." Sonic Boom responded.
"Explosive primed and ready. LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Boomer roared as he and the group ran and escaped before the smoker blew up, stopping the pollution for good.
"Everyone in one piece?" Sonata coughed.
"All good." Mikey answered.
"Ditto." Pinkie agreed.
"Let's get back to the Core." Spyro said.
"That was great! Especially for landlubbers! You guys saved us all! Thank you!" Gurglefin whooped in gratitude.
"Just doing our job." Stealth Elf humbly responded.
Soon, the group made it back to the Core of Light Ruins as Gurglefin started working on something.
"I keep trying to look…" Hugo tried to say over the noise.
"Huh?" Pinkie asked in confusion.
"…through the Far Viewer, but it’s a little rusty and…" Hugo tried to continue.
"What’d ya say?" Mikey said, equally confused.
"…it won’t turn past a certain point!" Hugo tried to finish.
"Sorry, but we can’t hear you!" Sonata responded over the noise as Hugo turned towards Gurglefin.
"Do you mind, fish fingers! I’m trying to concentrate!" Hugo asked in anger before Gurglefin was finished working.
"THERE!! It’s finished! TADA!! *AHEM!* On behalf of my people, I present you with this Oil Donkey… I didn’t name it… And it comes with all the oil you could ever want! Fortunately, it’s pumping away from the water." Gurglefin informed.
"Very impressive, Mr. Gurglefin. And that’s exactly what we need right now! Perfect! We should be able to use that on the Far Viewer! Grab a can of that stuff and meet me up there!" Hugo said as Prism Break suddenly started coming to.
"Ugh… My head…" Prism Break groaned.
"Pris, you okay bud?" Terrafin checked while limping.
"I think so… What happened?" Prism asked.
"Long story, bud. Right now... This champ is hitting the showers." Terrafin simply answered as he started walking off.
"Okay?" Prism said in confusion.
"Hi, I'm Sonata. These are my friends Mikey and Pinkie." Sonata introduced herself and the rest of the Goofball Trio.
"Name’s Prism Break. But seriously though, what hit me in the head?" Prism Break asked.
"Your own beams." Sonata bluntly answered.
"Huh? How?" Prism asked.
"A little trick I did to redirect them." Sonata smirked.
"Well, better bring in some fuel." Pinkie noted as she brought out an oil can.
"Agreed. Then how about we eat." Mikey replied.
"Sure thing!" Pinkie smiled as Pinkie drew some oil from the oil donkey into the oil can.

Next Time on Equestria Ninja Girls...
Dark Water Cove
Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
Everyone was scarfing down as much food and drinks as they could stomach.
"Mikey, you have to try this 5-Alarm Chili!" Lightning Rod said.
"Huh?" Mikey responded in confusion as Lightning Rod slid a bowl to him.
"Anyone seen Mistress Sonata?" Stealth Elf asked.
"Saw her near the water training." Pinkie answered when in reality, Sonata was sewing a special surprise for the Skylanders.
"Everything ok, mistress?" Stealth Elf checked, making Sonata yelp as she hid the surprise she was working on.
"Yes. Everything is perfectly fine. Shouldn't you be eating with the others?" Sonata replied.
"Wasn't hungry." Stealth Elf answered.
"Well, let's see if Hugo has a new clue for us." Sonata said.
"Indeed, since Pinkie Pie did insert the oil into the Far Viewer." Stealth Elf agreed while inside Sonata's bag was the unfinished work of a special Jolly Roger with four of the eight elements in each eye socket.
"Lucky I can still make these. Guess those lessons... The Man of a Thousand Plans... Made me take came in handy. " Sonata mentally thought to herself.
"You sure you're okay? You look sick." Stealth Elf noticed.
"Just remembering a bad experience." Sonata answered
"Oh. I won't dwell into it then." Stealth Elf responded.
"Thanks." Sonata said in gratitude as the duo met back up with the others. "Hugo, status update."
"*Gasp!* There it is... The twin... Let me back up a step." Hugo requested.
"What twins?" Mikey asked in confusion as Hugo backed up and looked again.
"We'll need the Eternal Water Source to add to the Core of Light. But, according to my blueprint, the water is no good to us unless we can get something called the Twin Spouts of Ocea-Major-Minor! Which I found. There." Hugo informed as Gurglefin showed up before looking through the Far Viewer.
"Holy Anchovy! That's Dark Water Cove!" Gurglefin gasped.
"What's the big dealer? Is it a smuggler's den?" Pinkie guessed.
"Ooh, it's a nasty place, filled with pirates. I'll bet the Twin Spouts will fetch a pretty penny for a plundering pirate. Sorry for the alliteration there." Gurglefin explained.
"We can take them." Sonata said.
"Let me prepare the ship then. I’ll just go. I’ll go now." Gurglefin responded as he left.
"As much as I hate to say it, you should go with Gurglefin. I’ll keep looking for clues to the Eternal Water Source. You can leave whenever you’re ready." Hugo informed.
"Sorry, guys. I'm out." Terrafin apologized.
"That's okay. Prism, you ready to fight?" Sonata asked.
"Yeah." Prism answered.
"Soni, why don't you stay here with your kids." Pinkie suggested.
"Okay." Sonic Boom responded.
"Spy, Dro, you two come with us." Mikey said.
"Sure thing." Spyro replied.
"Affirmative." Drobot added.
"Gurglefin, we're ready." Sonata said.
"Great! Terrific! I love a long water voyage! We’ll set sail at once! Gee. I hope I don’t get sea sick…" Gurglefin groaned as everyone got onto the ship before it went off the waterfall.
"Oh, not again!" Sonata yelped before the ship started flying.
"I think we’ll get used to it." Pinkie said as they sailed before Sonata started playing the violin.
"Huh?" Mikey noted in confused.
"An appropriate tune." Pinkie sighed in relaxation as the Skylanders started relaxing.
"How much longer till Dark Water Cove?" Sonata asked as she kept playing.
"Shouldn’t be long now." Gurglefin answered.
"Good. Maybe, I can acquire a ship. " Sonata mentally thought to herself as the group soon arrived.
"It figures. The main gates are closed." Gurglefin sighed.
"Nothing we can't bust down." Mikey assured.
"No, I guess we’ll have to land at the outer island." Gurglefin pointed out as Sonata drew her blades.
"Perfect. All those in favor of a straight forward attack, raise your fist... Or any appendages... Into the air and cheer!" Sonata urged as the others cheered before the ship docked at the outer island.
"Looks like we’re going to have to find a way inside the fortress if we’re going to retrieve the Spouts. Yup. This is juuuuuust perfect." Gurglefin groaned as Sonata noticed the pirate hat her was wearing.
"Give me that!" Sonata growled as she grabbed the hat.
"Huh? Why?" Gurglefin asked in confused.
"This belongs on Sea Reaper Sonata!" Sonata declared as she put on the pirate hat.
"Who?" Everyone asked in confusion.
"Me... It's a long story. I'll explain later." Sonata said.
"But we did find Dino’s Soul Gem on another ship." Prism pointed out.
"I'll get it. You guys go on ahead." Sonata assured.
"If ya say so." Pinkie said.
"I'll go with you." Stealth Elf added.
"Unnecessary. I'll be fine on my own." Sonata responded.
"But-" Stealth Elf tried to ask.
"I promise." Sonata said.
"Very well." Stealth Elf sighed before everyone else went ahead as Sonata went in the opposite direction.
"Let's make some noise, people!" Mikey whooped, but when the group approached, torches lit up with pirates aiming cannons at them.
"CARP! We’ve been spotted by their artillery!" Gurglefin yelped as a cannon was fired, destroying his ship. "That sure is going to make things a lot harder. Guess the best thing to do is to keep out of their crosshairs."
"Spyro, take Stealth Elf and take out those cannons! The rest of us will keep them busy!" Pinkie said.
"I'll give them a hand!" Lightning Rod added.
"Cool." Mikey said as Spyro flew his friends up to the cannons.
"We got pirates coming!" Pinkie called out as Nauteloids showed up.
"Huh, small sawshellfish." Mikey noted.
"I can handle this!" Prism said.
"Not alone!" Pinkie pointed out before crystals suddenly fell from the sky and crashed on the Nauteloids, easily beating them as Prism smirked. "Try to remember we're a team, Prism."
Spyro's team manage to deal with the artillery, but spotted reinforcements heading towards the others. "Blastaneers incoming!"
"Then, my friends, let's do some poetic justice!" Lightning Rod smiled as Stealth Elf saw the extra cannon balls and saw where her friend was going with it.
"Agreed." Stealth Elf agreed as the other group everyone held their ground before more pirates came.
"Prism, summon more crystals! Drobot, fire your lasers into them!" Pinkie ordered.
"The Beam is Supreme!" Prism Break let out his battle cry.
"Blink and Destroy!" Drobot growled, letting out his battle cry as well before he summoned a bunch of crystals that acted as a reflective surface, causing Drobot's lasers to bounce randomly and hit enemies.
"Come on, guys!" Pinkie urged as the group moved forward before encountering a locked gate.
"Looks like we’ll need keys." Flameslinger noted.
"We can give you guys some artillery support of our own." Spyro said as he flew over.
"Good." Mikey smiled as Pinkie found a key and soon unlocked a gate.
"Got it." Pinkie called out before out of nowhere, pirates sprung and tackled her to the ground. "YIKES!!!" Pinkie yelped when out of nowhere, a blast of fire blew the Pirates off Pinkie. "Thanks, Spyro."
"That wasn't me." Spyro responded.
"That would be me!" Sonata laughed as she came up with a stole Pirate Ship, leaning on a cannon that looked like a Dragon.
"Sonata! Nice ship." Mikey cheered.
"Hehe, let’s just say I found it all alone." Sonata giggled before something small in a yellow glow stung her. "Ow! Alright, we found it."
"Sparx?" Spyro asked in surprise.
"That’s right, Spy!" A voice confirmed as the yellow glow revealed himself.
"So, what's everyone waiting for?! Full speed ahead!" Sonata roared as everyone raced to the next key. "Stay alert, everyone." Sonata advised as she and the rest of the group kept moving forward before they encountered a Squidface Brute wielding a giant anchor. "That suppose to scare us?"
"Better watch out for how that guy uses it." Prism Break pointed out.
"Let's see." Sonata said as the enemy slammed the anchor at the group, only for them to dodge it and the anchor to get stuck in the ground. "Flameslinger, hit him!"
"Very well." Flameslinger replied as he fired his flaming arrow and the enemy was destroyed.
"Pathetic." Sonata scoffed.
"I got the key." Wham-Shell said as he opened another gate before the group encounter a Water Spell Punk.
"FIRE IN THE HOLE!" Spyro shouted as he, Sparx, Stealth Elf and Lightning Rod fired their cannons support before the Water Spell Punk fired ice balls as the cannonballs, freezing them solid.
"Here's a science lesson from my companion, Zap! Ice is a conductor like water!" Lightning Rod smirked as Pinkie noticed odd puddles.
"Watch out for the puddles!" Pinkie gasped as she and everyone took cover while Lightning Rod threw his bolts.
"Guys, help!" Stealth Elf shouted as Spyro, Sparx and Lightning saw her get nabbed by enemies.
"Sling..." Mikey started to say.
"Way ahead of you!" Flameslinger finished as he ran off, leaving a trail of flames. "Let her go!" Flameslinger growled as he tackled the enemies and Stealth Elf kicked herself free.
"Thanks." Stealth Elf said in gratitude.
"It’s no problem, Stealth." Flameslinger responded.
"Hey Love Birds, we're pushing forward! Come on!" Sonata called out as the two elves blushed at that.
"Come on!" Lightning Rod urged as he picked Stealth Elf and Flameslinger up.
"We must be getting close." Spyro noted as the group spotted a soul gem with the face of a fire knight on it.
"I got it. Skeletal Grasp!" Pinkie shouted as a skeletal hand grabbed the soul gem and brought it to the group. "Another for the collection."
"Guys, the Twin Spouts are close!" Sonata pointed out before the group encountered a Squiddler. "Last chance to let us through!" Sonata warned as she charged up her swords before the enemy fired a blowfish as the group dodged it. "Hard way it is!"
But then an explosion went off right behind Sonata, sending her flying.
"Mistress!" Stealth Elf dreaded.
"The blowfish could’ve been a heat-seeking bomb!" Pinkie gasped.
"That... Didn't hurt." Sonata growled as she got onto her feet before she saw her hat glow. "Huh?"
"Hats here in Skylands have magical properties." Spyro informed as Sonata suddenly saw the enemy’s weak spot.
"Wham, you're with me! Everyone, I need cover!" Sonata ordered.
"Got it!" Wham-Shell responded before everyone fired hard as the he and Sonata raced forward. "Are you three natural leaders back at your homes?"
"Nah, we learned some stuff from our leaders." Sonata answered.
"They'd be proud of the work you're doing." Wham-Shell said, making Sonata smiled as they reached the target.
"Get ready!" Sonata declared after she breathed in deeply and sharply as her swords sparkled with that energy she used back at Oilspill Island.
"Right behind you!" Wham-Shell replied as Sonata blast a huge hole in the wall. "Hello, boys."
Wham-Shell used his electrical powers and defeated the cannon handlers.
"Great work." Sonata smiled.
"Heh, thanks." Wham-Shell said in gratitude.
"Guys, we got the gate unlock! Come on!" Mikey urged.
"Got it!" Sonata responded as the group got to the next area before stone fist gates closed behind them.
"Ambush!" Mikey yelped.
"Everyone, backs together." Pinkie ordered before the winds felt harsh.
"I know those winds anywhere... Whirlwind!" Lightning Rod realized.
"Tornado?!" Pinkie gasped.
"No, my Element's Dragon." Lightning Rod clarified as the group saw Whirlwind flying in the air.
"A dragon? Also looks like a unicorn." Sonata noticed as Whirlwind landed and her eyes showed the same sign.
"Here we go again." Mikey sighed.
"Try not to hurt her." Pinkie added as Whirlwind flew high and started blasting her friends.
"Rainbows?!" The Goofball Trio gasped.
"I know, ridiculous. But blame her Unicorn heritage." Spyro responded.
"I don’t know if Dashie would be amazed or laughing on her back by this." Pinkie wondered.
"I can handle her. My shield can protect me." Chop Chop said.
"I can help, too." Mikey added.
"Huh?" Prism Break noted as Whirlwind threw a storm, surrounding him, Chop Chop and Mikey.
"Keep her off balance!" Mikey ordered before he and the two Skylanders scattered as Whirlwind dove into the storm." We can't fight her in her turf... So, let's bring her to ours. Chop, cut her wings."
"What?" Chop Chop asked in confusion.
"Just injure her. Force her to the ground." Mikey clarified as Chop Chop cut Whirlwind's left wing and made her crash. "Good, now it's a fair fight."
Whirlwind flapped her wings before thunderclouds appeared.
"Get behind me!" Chop Chop urged as he got in front of Prism Break and Mikey, protecting them with his shield form the attack.
"Prism, fire your beams directly into Whirlwind's eyes." Mikey ordered.
"Good idea. It'll temporarily blind her." Prism Break responded as he charged up harmless beams before Whirlwind charged at them and Prism Break fired his blast, giving Mikey the chance to knock her out.
"She's alive, just unconscious." Chop Chop informed after checking Whirlwind's pulse.
"We got the spouts!" Pinkie called out.
"Let’s go!" Sonata urged as thegroup soon got back to Gurglefin with the Spouts.
"Great work, everyone! Now we just have to capture this Frigate and get outta here." Gurglefin informed as the ship Sonata showed up with earlier, was a ship that had said cannon, a hard and horned front shaped like a dragon head that seemed magical, dragon wings and wind weapons, fins and water weapons, obsidian scale-like armor and earth weapons before everyone climbed aboard and tied Whirlwind to the mast. "BLAST! We need to open the main gate! Two things: One, the pirates say the switch is way up on that tower. And two: they also lie a lot. Dunno. Good luck. Lemme know how you do."
"Seems simple. Stealth, you and Chop are with me. Everyone else stay here." Sonata ordered.
"Okay." Mikey responded as the trio climbed to the switch, only to walk into an ambush.
"Saw that coming." Sonata said.
"Slice and Dice!" Chop Chop shouted out his battle cry as he charged at the enemies with his new Spiked Shield Bash ability.
"Right behind you, Chop!" Sonata said as she and the two Skylanders forged a path to the switch. "Stealth, behind you!"
"Hmm?!" Stealth Elf noted as a pirate came at her from behind, but she pulled her scarecrow trick with her new Straw Pook Scarecrow ability.
"Stealth!" Sonata gasped as the real Stealth Elf appeared behind the pirate.
"That foe’s not the one behind me, I’m behind him!" Stealth Elf quipped as she struck hard.
"Nice job. Let's flip the switch and leave." Sonata said as she got to the switch and pressed it, causing the switch itself to raise higher as the gate lowered, making a clear path.
"Guys, jump a board!" Mikey urged.
"No need to tell us twice!" Sonata responded as she cut a nearby line before she, Stealth Elf and Chop Chop swung aboard the captured frigate "Hoist the sails and get us out of here!"
The ship then set sail, escaping the cove.
"Yes! We’re free! And on one of their own ships! HA! You know I’ve always wanted to be a pirate! I wonder how I’d look with an eye patch." Gurglefin wondered.
"Trust me... Fishman pirates aren't fun." Sonata sighed.
"Fishman? Don’t ya mean Gillman?" Gurglefin asked.
"Nope." Sonata answered as the group soon made it back to the Ruins with the Twin Spouts started floating before Master Eon appeared.
"Behold, the Twin Spouts of Ocea Major Minor, forged from the scales of the Leviathan." Master Eon informed as the Spouts planted itself at the center of the circle as pipes underground started emerging and connecting with the ancient machinery of the Core.
"Okay kids, give Auntie Whirly an alarm clock wake up." Sonic Boom requested as everyone covered their ears before her kids screamed loud at Whirlwind.
"Sonic, you know I... Hey, why can't I move?" Whirlwind noticed as she tried to move.
"Look down." Sonata informed as Whirlwind saw she was still tied up.
"LET ME GO!" Whirlwind growled.
"You don’t know what happened?" Sonata asked.
"Aside from the beating you guys gave, no." Whirlwind answered as Stealth Elf cut her free.
"Sorry about that. We'll call a doctor and..." Mikey tried to say before Whirlwind cut him off.
"No need." Whirlwind responded as she blasted herself with her own rainbow, but nothing happened.
"You know we haven’t found your soul gem yet, right Whirlwind?" Spyro pointed out with a bead of sweat.
"I feel good enough to fight and fly." Whirlwind assured.
"Hugo, got any good news?" Mikey asked.
"Now that the Twin Spouts of Ocea-Major-Minor are in place, we can talk about the Eternal Water Source." Hugo answered.
"You have a clue where it is?" Pinkie added another question.
"Yeah, turns out it’s located in a string of islands." Hugo responded.
"String of islands? Heh! What are we waiting for? I’ll get the boat ready." Gurglefin said.
"That sounds too easy." Mikey noticed.
"It’s harder than it sounds, because you’ll need more than a boat, I’m afraid. From what I’ve heard, the Eternal Water Source has returned to the sea, and can ONLY be summoned with the four ancient statues on these islands." Hugo informed.
"Um, why do I think there’s a big “but” in all this?" Gurglefin worried.
"Because Kaos is involved." Sonata deadpanned.
"BUT, I’ve ALSO heard rumors of a giant fish that lives in those waters. It’s said that he eats whole villages. The locals call him Leviathan." Hugo asked.
"L-L-LEVIATHAN?!!!? Uuuugh…." Gurglefin shivered in fear.
"Big deal. Nothing we can't handle." Sonata shrugged while picking her teeth.
"It is a big deal, because it looks as if we have more than just Kaos and the Darkness to worry about. You must be extremely cautious." Hugo advised.
"First, let's get ourselves patched up." Pinkie said.
"That would be wise." Hugo agreed.
“Managed to give Boomer his soul gem we got from that Oilspill Island.” Terrafin informed.
“Good job.” Sonata smiled.

Sonata was training when she noticed Whirlwind looking at the sea. "You okay, Whirl?"
"No, I’m really worried about him." Whirlwind sighed.
"Wanna talk about it?" Sonata asked.
"Really? I only ever really talked about with Sonic and Stealth or any of the girls about stuff like this." Whirlwind noted.
"Trust is a wind that blows both ways. So what's wrong?" Sonata resopnded.
"I'm worried about Zap, the Dragon of Water." Whirlwind answered.
"Boy trouble?" Sonata assumed.
"Y-Yeah…" Whirlwind admitted with a blush.
"If he's captured and brainwashed by Kaos, we'll rescue him. I'd do anything to rescue my boyfriend." Sonata empathized.
"Thanks." Whirlwind said in gratitude.
"No problem." Sonata smiled.
"Hmm… Who is your boyfriend exactly?" Whirlwind asked.
"A mechanic back home. He's a real sweetheart." Sonata admitted while blushing.
"Oh? And what’s his name?" Whirlwind smirked.
"Cisco." Sonata answered.
"Hey guys, we're moving out! Lightning Rod and Sonic Boom are staying behind!" Pinkie called out.
"Guess that means I’m coming along." Whirlwind noted.
"Let's get moving. Skylands isn't going to save itself." Sonata said.
"Alright! Let’s go to Gurglefin!" Mikey urged, but Gurglefin really didn't want to.
"So, you ready to go and get savagely eaten by a giant fish? Er I mean, find the Eternal Water Source?"
"We're ready." Pinkie answered.
"Let’s go." Sonata agreed before she, Mikey, Pinkie, Gurglefin, Spyro, Wham-Shell, Prism Break, Chop Chop, Stealth Elf, Flameslinger, Whirlwind and Drobot got onto the ship as it started to sail.
"I hate this part." Gurglefin groaned as the ship fell off the island before its wings unfurled as it took flight.
"I'm almost done with a special surprise." Sonata said.
"What's the surprise?" Spyro asked.
"I can’t tell you, because it wouldn’t be a surprise if I did." Sonata pointed out.
"She's right." Pinkie agreed.
"Are we getting close?!" Mikey asked.
"Yeah." Gurglefin gulped as the group arrived before Mikey saw what looked like Kaos' flag in the distance
"That gives me an idea. " Mikey mentally thought to himself.
"More pirates! Sheesh! Like I don’t get enough of these guys." Gurglefin complained.
"My sensors indicate three of our companions are here." Drobot informed.
"Then let us make haste and rescue our quarries!" Chop Chop urged.
"The pirates might be looking for the statues of these islands too, so watch your tailfins out there. Oh and if any of you see a giant killer fish along the way, DON’T call me. Heh. The Molebutt says the Eternal Water Source will only reveal itself if you place all four statues in the Shrine, so get them all!" Gurglefin explained as Mikey raised his hammer.
"You heard the Fish! Charge!" Mikey shouted before the group noticed a Squidface Brute guarding the bridge with a statue next to him.
"Out of our way!" Wham-Shell roared while swinging his mace as the enemy blocked the attack with his anchor before a Hob ‘n’ Yaro appeared and took the statue, then ran off quickly.
"Sling, shoot him!" Mikey said.
"Tch! He’s moving too quickly to get a clear shot. I’ll leave a trail of flames to chase him into." Flameslinger responded as he raced after the Hob 'n' Yaro.
"Skeletal Grasp!" Pinkie shouted as the thief jumped, dodging the emergency bone hands, slowing down a tiny bit, but it was enough for Flameslinger to get ahead of the Hob ‘n’ Yaro and pull a U-turn, causing the thief to tan straight into a trap.
"I'll take that. Thank you." Flameslinger said as he swiped the statue.
"Come on, guys. Attack!" Spyro shouted as the group fought the enemies before the pirate minions were soon beaten.
"Hmm… Maybe Sonata and I should scout ahead since we’re surrounded by water on the islands’ sand." Wham-Shell noted.
"Good idea. Guys listen, we got to get the statues. But that flag is our target!" Mikey declared as he pointed at Kaos' banner.
"Huh?" Pinkie said in confusion.
"That ugly flag?" Spyro noticed.
"What better way to tell Kaos we won't admit defeat than setting his banner a blaze?" Mikey pointed out.
"I see. Then that flag is nothing but a big red target." Flameslinger as he readied and aimed an arrow with the flames on the arrowhead burned blue. "My arrows got upgraded thanks to Persephone. Now they’re Searing Arrows!"
Mikey put his hand up. "Not yet. We need Kaos' attention on our symbol. Meaning..." Mikey started off as he raised his hammer. "Let's do some damage! WHO'S WITH ME?!"
Everyone cheered as they charged forward.
"Dro, how about we do an Iron Bombing Run?" Spyro offered while holding a charm.
"How?" Pinkie asked in confusion.
"Actually, I’m going with Sonata and Wham-Shell since I can fly." Whirlwind added.
"Good luck." Spyro said as Sonata and Wham-Shell dove into the water.
"This is much better." Sonata smiled as Whirlwind was following the two while flying above the water to keep an eye out for anything on the surface.
"Looks like Kaos' forces are dig in deep. This will be fun." Wham-Shell chuckled.
"I see the statues... They're heading into an ambush!" Sonata noticed, not realizing what's below here.
"GUYS, LOOK OUT!" Whirlwind called out as the duo saw a large fish about to eat them Sonata and Wham-Shell screamed in horror before fish captured them in its mouth. "GUYS!" Whirlwind screamed before the fish opened its maw as the two blasted out with a treasure chest.
"That was gross." Sonata gagged after landing.
"At least it was the only the mouth and no deeper than that." Wham-Shell responded.
"Agreed." Sonata nodded as she and the two got back to the others and explained the location of the statues and the trap ahead.
"Spy, we got anything powerful to fight with?" Mikey asked.
"More turtles we need to push?" Pinkie noticed.
"I got an idea. Anvil Rain." Spyro smiled.
"Say what now?" The Goofball Trio said in confusion.
"A special attack item the Sonata found." Prism Break explained.
"Uh… where did I find it again?" Sonata asked.
"The ship you saved me from." Sparx answered.
"Oh right!" Sonata facepalmed as the others connected the turtle bridge.
"Spy, you take the flyers and do a bombing run. The rest of us will cover you." Mikey said as everyone crossed the turtle bridge.
"Okay." Spyro responded as he, Drobot and Whirlwind took to the sky while everyone charged into an attack. Kaos' pirates attacked as one contacted the Dark Portal Master while a Hob 'n' Yaro stole a key and started to run away.
"Eh, wha... What's all the carnage?" Kaos asked as he and Glumshanks saw the Skylanders attacking his forces. "SKYLANDERS!"
"Wait a minute, look at those three." Glumshanks noticed, seeing that Mikey, Pinkie, and Sonata were leading the charge and directing the attacks.
"That's new." Kaos said.
"Usage of two elements or the Skylanders using strategy?" Glumshanks asked as amazingly, Kaos just waved his hand saying it's both.
"Hehe, so they’re after the statues to get the Eternal Water Element? Well then, I’ll just send them a little surprise when it comes out." Kaos darkly chuckled.
"Sir, it seems like they're more interested in your banner at the moment." Glumshanks said as everyone fought hard against Kaos' Forces.
"Sling, fire now!" Mikey called out.
"Let the Flames Begin!" Flameslinger let out his battlecry as he raced passed the troops while his friends covered him. "Kaos! This is from all of us!" Flameslinger declared as he took aim and fired at Kaos' banner. The arrow pierced the banner and set it a blazed as Kaos and his forces were stunned by this action, but for the heroes, they felt nothing but pride.
"Are they insane?!" A pirate minion gasped.
"They’ve gone and done it now!" Another pirate minion dreaded.
"This is gonna end horribly for them!" A different pirate minion paled.
"They’ve just declared war on Lord Kaos!!!" The pirate minions screamed in horror.
"We'll be taking the statues now!" Mikey quipped as he and the rest of the group got past the guards and took the second statue before noticing a soul gem that had the face of a water dragon down below on a small green island.
"I'll get it." Whirlwind said as Spyro flew and grabbed the burned flag.
"And I got us a souvenir." Spyro added as Whirlwind returned with the soul gem.
"Come on, everyone! Keep up the pressure!" Sonata urged while throwing swords as the group kept moving forward before a Hob ‘n’ Yaro appeared and stole the third statue and started running.
"Allow me, my lady." Stealth Elf said as she bolted after the enemy by flipping with her third ability, Arboreal Acrobatics, and caught up easily. "I’ll be taking that." Stealth Elf quipped as she kicked the Hob 'n' Yaro and took the statue.
"Great job!" Sonata smiled.
"Thanks, mistress." Stealth Elf said in gratitude.
"Hey! Gurglefin’s on that tower! He might have something to tell us!" Spyro noticed.
"Let's go see." Mikey said as the group got past some more minions and met up with Gurglefin on the tower, who was next to a cannon.
"About time you got here." Gurglefin said in relief.
"How’d you get here so fast?" Pinkie asked in surprise.
"What? I took a shortcut." Gurglefin responded.
"Whatever. You got something for us?" Sonata added.
"Okay, the Pirates captured the last statue, loaded it onto their ship and are making a run for it. We’ve gotta stop them. One of you get in that cannon and aim for the masts! I’d do it myself, of course, but you know… heh… “fisheye”…" Gurglefin explained.
"Stealth, let's see those kunoichi eyes play some cannon sniping." Sonata said.
"Then I hope you’re hungry." Stealth Elf quipped as she jumped into the cannon with the back of the turret guns gained symbols.
"Start the fireworks, S.E!" Pinkie shouted as the cannon aimed at the ship’s masts and fired… watermelons?! "Okay... Anticlimactic much?" Pinkie deadpanned before when the watermelons hit the masts, they exploded, destroying the masts as the ship crashed, becoming sandwiched between to islands, creating a bridge as the back of the ship fell apart with the statue on the main deck, which was still in one piece.
"Grab it!" Mikey shouted as he and the group ran to the ship and grabbed it before fighting some pirate minions while making their way to the shrine. "Guys, something feels wrong here."
"Really?" Pinkie asked.
"Come on, let’s keep going." Sonata pointed out before the enemies were soon defeated as the group were at the shrine.
"Place the statues and hurry!" Mikey urged as Sonata stepped onto the jewel circle as the statues floated into their places before something rose from the water at the end of a dock, revealed to be the Eternal Water Source. As everyone went to get it, nobody noticed Leviathan coming from below, and when everyone reached the end of the dock, Pinkie suddenly held her knees.
"Whoa! Both of my knees are pinchy! That means something super duper scary’s about to happen!" Pinkie gasped as Sonata looked down and went pale.
"Karma." Sonata dreaded before the giant fish lunged out of the water, swallowing the group and Eternal Water Source whole while shattering the end of the docks. Everyone soon woke up on a damaged ship. "Ugh… I’m not gonna be eating fish for a while after this."
"Everyone in one piece?" Mikey asked as everyone else confirmed it before Pinkie noticed something. "A lightning ball?"
"Get clear!" Whirlwind shouted before the ball exploded, revealing a giant floating head.
"Well well well, look what we have here! Stupid Skylanders and Eon’s little apprentices! HA!" The giant floating head taunted.
"Mad about this, Kaos?" Spyro fired back while holding the burnt banner.
"HA! If you thought you would anger me with burning that flag, then you thought wrong!" Kaos scoffed.
"He’s mad." Sonata smirked.
"And I see you just happen to be looking for the Eternal Water Source… Correction: MY Eternal Water Source!! WELL you’re TOO LATE! I AM KAOS, Emperor of Skylands, and a REAL Portal Master! And all of YOU are never getting out of here alive! HAHAHHAHAH! My Evil Water Dragon will take care of you. ATTACK!" Kaos ordered as a water dragon suddenly appeared.
"Zap!" Whirlwind gasped.
"That's who you like?" Sonata noted.
"Yeah." Whirlwind confirmed with a blush.
"No judgement." Sonata responded before Zap started attacking his friends as the group dodged the electric blasts before the water dragon slid forward, leaving behind a trail of slime.
"That's just unsanitary." Mikey gagged.
"Don’t step into that slime, ‘cause you’ll get stuck in it." Wham-Shell informed.
"Water in the area will increase the difficulty of seeing Zap’s Sea Slime." Drobot added.
"Stone Wave!" Mikey shouted as he slammed down his hammer, causing an earth wave to erupt as it hit Zap, making him growl before he slid again, this time, heading right for Mikey. "Pinkie, retrain him!"
"Skeletal Grasp!" Pinkie yelled as skeleton hands emerged, but because of Zap doing his Sea Slime Slide attack, he was too slippery and couldn’t get grabbed.
"Plan B." Wham-Shell said as he swung his mace at his friend with the attack hitting Zap before he breathed out electricity, electrocuting Wham-Shell.
"Wham, you okay bud?" Mikey asked as Wham-Shell coughed
"Yeah." Wham-Shell answered as Zap laid unconscious and injured before he suddenly vanished.
"Zap!" Whirlwind called out.
"So you defeated my minion. Big deal. I’m just getting started." Kaos scoffed.
"Let our friends go, Kaos!" Spyro growled
"Ha! Never! I SUMMON the DEADLY SHARK BATH OF DOOOOOOMSHARKS!" Kaos shouted as he summoned the Eternal Water Source before tidal walls appeared with the floor being flooded with water.
"Scatter!" Mikey yelped.
"The water isn’t what we need to worry about." Wham-Shell pointed out as sharks made of water started emerging from the tidal walls and swam at the group in straight lines at random. Everyone managed to dodge the attack perfectly, but Wham-Shell was getting extremely exhausted.
"He's not creative with names, is he?" Sonata noted.
"No, not really." Spyro answered
"Hmm. You seem to be lucky, sort of. WELL, your luck has run out! NOW you face my EVIL AMPHIBIOUS GILLMAN! MWAHAHA!" Kaos laughed before giving a slight cough as a Gillman with a harpoon gun appeared.
"Gill, snap out of it! It's me, Spyro!" Spyro called out as the Gillman took aim before he fired three harpoons at once.
"Gill, please. I don't want to fight you!" Spyro called out as the Gillman glared before he flew with his water jetpack while shooting harpoons. "Gill, think about Sirena!"
Gill Grunt stopped and struggled to speak. "Si... Rena?"
"That's right. Remember? You promised you would find her and I promised you I'd help you." Spyro reminded as Gill started to break free from Kaos' control before he suddenly vanished. "That should help... And tick Kaos off."
"BAH! You may have bested my Evil Amphibious Gillman for now, but this is far from over, FAR FROM IT! I SUMMON the even DEADLIER SHARK BATH OF DOOOOOOMSHARKS!!" Kaos shouted as tidal walls and the wave floor appeared again as more water sharks emerged more at random and frequently.
"He's just using the same spell." Mikey noticed while dodging.
"You didn’t notice?" Wham-Shell panted as sharks nearly missed him while it looked like his injuries were healing.
"Health readings indicate Wham-Shell is extremely exhausted." Drobot said before Wham-Shell started to look like he was already getting better. "Error, health readings indicate Wham-Shell is almost fully revitalized."
The spell soon ended again.
"Impossible! You survived my best water spell! Ahem. I MEAN, you survived a very MEDIOCRE water spell that I found laying around-somewhere. I am not impressed. And neither is MY EVIL ICE YETI! ATTACK!" Kaos ordered as a four-armed yeti appeared.
"Slam Bam, my friend!" Chop Chop noticed as Slam Bam palmed the ground, causing ice to rush forward on the ground before it stopped at the skeleton, then he was suddenly frozen in an ice prison.
"Chop!" Sonata gasped.
"I can fight him! Burning Bone Ball!" Pinkie shouted as she launched her flail ball at Slam Bam and charged at him. "Fire beats Ice!" Pinkie quipped while attacking with her flaming flail before she was launched by a double right punch.
"Sorry, Slam." Stealth Elf apologized in advance before she kicked Slam Bam, sending the yeti flying into the side of the wrecked ship.
"Think that did it?" Mikey asked.
"No, Kaos wouldn't give up on torturing us more." Spyro answered as Chop Chop broke free before Slam Bam suddenly vanished.
"Okay… so maybe you’re all “slightly good” at fighting my water minions, one-on-one." Kaos admitted a bit.
"Is he always this big of a loser?" Sonata asked.
"Yes." The Skylanders confirmed.
"HA! Let’s see how you do against ALL THREE AT ONCE!! HAHAHAHAH!!!" Kaos laughed as Zap, Gill Grunt and Slam Bam appeared, fully healed and completely under Kaos’ control.
"Spyro, you got through to Gill. You take him. The rest of us will keep the others off you." Mikey said.
"Sonata, Stealth, Flameslinger and I will take Zap." Whirlwind added.
"Rest of us got Slam Bam!" Pinkie finished as everyone charged while Spyro tackled his best friend.
"Gill, look at your reflection. Think about who you really are." Spyro said as he put Gill Grunt's face in front of a puddle of water. Gill Grunt struggled as his subconscious tried to remember and see. "You told me the Skylanders were more than your friends, they're your family. Tell me your still in there, fighting to get back to us... And Sirena." Spyro hoped before something strange happened, Gill Grunt went unconscious without getting attacked one bit. "Sorry, bud."
"Hey, is Zap some rare electric water dragon?" Sonata asked while deflecting Zap's electrical shots.
"He was born into a royal family of water dragons, but was washed away into a far sea, so he was raised by electric eels. He made that special gold harness he's wearing right now to be able to carry an endless electrical charge as well as shock things at a long distance." Whirlwind explained.
"Wow, didn't see that coming. Stealth, you hit high. I go low. Sling, you and Whirlwind down the middle." Sonata ordered before throwing Stealth into the air as she skidded towards Zap and Whirlwind and Flameslinger rushed at Zap. Zap was so confused on who to hit first, Kaos' control on him weakened. "Alright! He's off guard! Now!" Sonata shouted as everyone attacked Zap at once, giving him a nasty shiner as he fell unconscious.
"Slam Bam is the last one." Flameslinger noted.
"WHOA!!! Close one!" Pinkie yelped as she, Mikey, Chop Chop, Drobot, Wham-Shell and Prism Break dodged ice punch after ice punch.
"He's tough both close-up and far away!" Mikey noted.
"And we can't hit him." Prism Break added.
"I recommend attacking on all sides at once." Drobot said.
"Okay." Pinkie nodded as the six circled Slam Bam and started attacking him at once, making it hard for the yeti to defend himself.
"Lights out!" Mikey quipped as he, Pinkie, Prism Break, Wham-Shell, Chop Chop and Drobot struck hard, and the next thing Slam Bam knew, he was knocked out.
"Ahh! My minions! My beautiful minions! GRRR! FINE! Take it, take the Eternal Water Source, FOOLS! See if I care! SOON, all of you too will FEAR MY GIANT FLOATING HEAD like everyone else! Then you will all PAY!" Kaos declared as his head hologram then vanished with the Eternal Water Source up for grabs.
"Guys, I have an idea on how to get out... but nobody is gonna like it." Sonata said before a Soul Gem with her face suddenly appeared as she grabbed it. "Score."
"So what's the plan?" Mikey asked.
"Flameslinger... Aim for the uvula and make this fish throw up." Sonata ordered.
"Very well." Flameslinger nodded before the group noticed a crimson bubble floating in the air.
"Okay, everyone get ready!" Sonata said before she suddenly froze after seeing the bubble, or more importantly, what was inside it as it floated towards her. The bubble floated into Sonata’s hands before the electric-like energy flowed from it into Sonata. "T-Talk about deja vu! Whoa!" Sonata yelped before the bubble bursted harmlessly, revealing two feather accessories, a headband and two gloves. "…I see."
Sonata put on the gloves before placing the feathers and headband into her pocket. "You ready to fire, Flameslinger?"
"I am." Flameslinger answered as he took aim at the Leviathan’s uvula before firing his arrow at it. Suddenly, everyone was vomited out of Leviathan's stomach.
"Everyone okay?" Pinkie asked.
"Ugh… Other than fish stomach juice, yeah." Whirlwind gagged as Wham-Shell was the only one who didn't respond
"Wham? You alright?" Sonata asked as Flameslinger checked his friend's pulse.
"I think he just fainted from exhaustion." Flameslinger informed.
"Guess the adrenaline wore off." Mikey noted.
"Let's get back to the Core. I need a very long hot shower." Sonata said.
"Ditto." Pinkie and the female skylanders agreed as a portal opened and transported everyone back to the Core, before Eon appeared as the Eternal Water Source floated.
"You have brought the Eternal Water Source. Excellent, young friends! Now water shall return to the Core of Light!" Eon said as the Eternal Water Source plunged into the Twin Spouts before the ground at the center below it started rising up into a small pillar as water started rushing through the pipes, causing the Twin Spouts to spray water onto the eye/mouths of the stone golems with water flowing in the ring they were on around the Core.
“Excellent! The Eternal Water Source is once again part of the Core of Light! But the darkness will continue to spread until we have all the Eternal Sources.” Hugo informed.
As Wham-Shell came to, Mikey had a makeshift defibrillator made from a pair of wool slippers and a few batteries.
"Clear!" Mikey said before he was suddenly shocked by Wham-Shell’s mace.
"No thanks, I’m already awake." Wham-Shell said.
"Sorry, Wham. When the others woke up and you didn't, we got worried." Mikey apologized.
"I was just tired." Wham-Shell pointed out.
"At least your left eye doesn't need an ice bag." Zap growled.
"Sorry about that." Sonata apologized.
"At least we're back on the right side." Slam Bam said.
"Agreed." Gill Grunt nodded as Spyro planted the damaged Kaos Flag.
"Looks good, huh?" Spyro smirked.
"Whoa! Is that what I think it is, bud?" Gill Grunt asked.
"Our new pals idea. How did you guys know this would tick him off?" Spyro added.
"Gotta go for the pride." Sonata smiled.
At Kaos’ Kastle, Kaos laughed evilly while holding a chicken leg and looking over his portal window as Glumshanks showed up.
"Um, master? Is everything alright?" Glumshanks asked.
"Of course everything is alright. Why wouldn’t everything be alright?" Kaos responded.
"Well, the burned flag for one reason. And well, I just thought that since the Skylanders and those three got the Eternal Water Source-" Glumshanks tried to answer before Kaos laughed.
"HA! Do you hear me? I say HA! Those fools think they’re winning, but they’re not! Know why?" Kaos asked.
"Why?" Glumshanks repeated that last word.
"Because the Darkness is spreading, Glumshanks! No matter their feeble attempts to rebuild Eon’s machine, I am still winning!" Kaos declared as he laughed before taking a bite out of his drumstick, when he suddenly started choking and fell off the portal with the leg tossed into the air.
"Now is everything alright?" Glumshanks asked.
"Heimlich!" Kaos choked as Glumshanks shook his head with a sigh.

Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
Sonata unveiled her great surprise; A Skylander Jolly Roger. "Well, how does it look, guys?"
"Whoa! Awesome!" Mikey smiled.
"So colorful!" Pinkie awed in amazement.
"I made to symbolize our fight against Kaos and his forces. The red background represents our determination against him, the dragon skull shows our strength, the swords shows our ferocity and courage, and inside the eyes are each symbol of your respective elements." Sonata explained as all the Skylanders were impressed... Except for Gill Grunt.
"Amazing seam work, Mistress." Stealth Elf complimented as Gill Grunt only scoffed and turned away.
"What's his problem?" Mikey asked.
"I'll explain later." Terrafin answered.
"Guys, Hugo said it'll take some time to find the nest Eternal Source." Pinkie informed as Master Eon appeared.
"Master Eon!" The Skylanders gasped.
"What's wrong, sir?" Mikey said.
"Greetings, young friends. Haldor, the Great Northern Wizard needs your help. You must go with him at once to save his village of Vindlevale, which is locked in the icy grip of endless winter by the evil ice ogres. Hurry, the Empire of Ice awaits!" Master Eon explained before something then arose from the body water on the island, revealed to be a building of ice with a ramp leading up to the tower.
"You can count on us!" Mikey assured.
"Also, great looking flag." Master Eon noticed.
"Thanks." Sonata smiled.
"I’m comin’ along this time." Slam Bam said.
"Please." Wham-Shell requested in exhaustion.
"Okay, you're in. Terrafin, Sonic Boom... How about a mission for the happy couple?" Pinkie offered.
"Sorry guys, my kids wanna play right now." Sonic Boom apologized.
"Heh, guess I’ll go in Terra’s place again." Prism Break noted.
"And I in Sonic Boom's place." Lightning Rod added.
"Guess that lets Whirl have some time with Zap." Sonata smirked as Whirlwind and Zap blushed at that.
"Okay, Spyro and Boomer will come, too. Everyone else, find any clues about the other Eternal Sources." Mikey said as Pinkie finished tying their flag.
"Let's go." Pinkie declared.
"Actually, I think I know a faster way, and it has to do with that ice building." Slam Bam noticed as everyone saw what he was taking about.
"When in Rome..." Sonata shrugged.
"Charge!" Pinkie shouted as the group went to the water before they crossed the water onto the ice building and saw a door into it.
"Wow, for ice it's not really that cold." Sonata noticed.
"Is that what you three think of all ice?" Slam Bam asked.
"Not really, but why isn't it cold?" Pinkie responded with her own question.
"The ice in Skylands is cold enough to be like normal ice, but has properties that alter it. Like allowing cold blooded creatures like me able to go without hibernating." Spyro explained.
"Man, Karai is gonna be so jealous of the reptiles here." Sonata giggled as everyone got into the tower before the structure started to rumble.
"What's going on?!" Pinkie asked.
"It's going to explode!" Mikey exclaimed as he whimpered, then Pinkie, finally Sonata. But then the tower suddenly took off like a rocket and flew away into the sky with the others in it while Mikey screamed his normal scream as they flew.
"This is fastest?" Mikey questioned.
"Yep." Slam Bam answered as Stealth Elf looked outside.
"Approaching destination, now." Stealth Elf informed as the tower soon landed gently at where the group was headed to.
"I think my lunch is coming up." Sonata groaned as she was about to lose her lunch, but then swallowed it back down. "No, I gotta keep it together."
"Let's get moving everyone." Mikey said.
"Okay." Prism Break responded as everyone jumped out and saw the whole situation.
"Whoa…" The Goofball Trio awed before the group suddenly heard a crazy laughing noise.
"I know that crazy cackle anywhere!" Spyro recognized before a wizard appeared.
"Skylanders! Oh thank the good Wa-hoos ya’ came! Brr! And you all came just in time! Name’s Haldor." Haldor introduced himself.
"Give us the 411, Haldor. What's the damage?" Mikey asked.
"Can you believe this here icy wasteland used to be a sunny paradise? Flowers and grass, and the nicest weather you ever did see." Haldor said.
"Yeah, it's kinda hard to believe." Pinkie admitted.
"Yeah, I know! Sounds great, and it was... until those ugly, stacked-eyed, noodle-necked Ice Ogres moved in and changed everything!" Haldor growled.
"I think we can take them." Pinkie said
"Friend Pinkie is right. We will defeat them with ease!" Chop Chop agreed.
"But what happened?" Slam Bam asked before Haldor pointed at a giant wall.
"First, they built a giant wall that blocked the warm sun, locking this place in an endless WINTER! Then, they started marching all over, like they own the place! And THAT'S when the snowball fights started." Haldor explained.
"What about friend, Trigger Happy? Did you see him anywhere here?!" Spyro asked.
"He'd be pretty small, carrying two guns, has an expression that looks like he's about as sharp as a bowling ball." Slam Bam described.
"Sorry, don't have a clue about that. But those Ice Ogres messed with the wrong wizard! Wha-hoo haha! They surely did! Cuz I have plan! Follow me!" Haldor said.
"Lead the way. Slam, wanna do the honor of carrying our flag?" Pinkie asked.
"Don't worry, already attaching the flag to a stick right now." Sonata responded.
"Good call." Pinkie smiled as the group followed Haldor for a bit, then found a broken down catapult.
"Ain’t she a beauty? The ULTIMATE snowball launcher!" Haldor declared as nobody said a word. "Sure, she’s a bit of a fixer-upper, but once she’s all put together, I’ll never lose a SNOWBALL FIGHT AGAIN!"
"Right... Let's get this fixed up. Everyone split up and get parts to repair this. I want teams of four on each end. No man enters the danger zone solo." Mikey said.
"And careful walking on this ice now. It’s slippery!" Haldor pointed out as he then vanished.
"I just realized we have to get to the catapult on the other side first." Sonata facepalmed.
"No matter. We're an unstoppable army because we believe in our friendship. Right, guys?" Flameslinger said as the Goofball Trio giggled/chuckled in agreement with that while Stealth Elf blushed at what Flameslinger said.
"Indeed, my friend. As long as we stand tall and proud, our enemies shall always fall. What say you, my friends?!" Lightning Rod called out.
"LET'S GO!" Slam Bam declared as everyone thundered at their enemies like a bulldozer. Ice blocks suddenly bursted, revealing small blue two-legged enemies with blue flames on the top of their heads known as Frozen Fiends. There were close cases, dodging frostbite, and going across slippery frozen ground.
"You wanna do this, Slam?" Mikey asked while readying his hammer.
"Yes, I do!" Slam bam answered in excitement.
"Then let’s go!" Sonata said.
"Slam, I need ice balls!" Pinkie requested as Frozen Fiends were incoming. Slam Bam gave Pinkie what she asked. "Skeletal Grip! Time for cannonballs!"
Everyone loaded Pinkie's skeleton hands and she threw them like cannon balls
"Spyro, I am loving these guys!" Slam Bam smiled.
"Hehe, it’s like they’re throwing a party-Watch out!" Spyro yelped as he breathed a fireball upwards, destroying a snowball projectile, seeing a cyclops with a big left arm and a small right arm, known as a Chucker, wearing a red with white fluff and throwing snowballs.
"Here's a headache for you!" Mikey yelled as he threw his hammer and it nailed the Chucker square in the face.
"That'll hurt!" Prism Break winced.
"Ooh! More than few broken teeth!" Boomer added.
"Less yapping, more fighting." Sonata pointed out before summoning her mirror copy as more Frozen Fiends appeared. "Tidal Slash!" Sonata shouted as she and her magic reflection attacked the Frozen Fiends before she and Slam Bam noticed an orange circle behind the group. "At the same time?"
"You water, I freeze." Slam Bam responded as the two went toward the orange circle, only to find themselves teleported into a maze.
"That was unexpected. Where are we?" Sonata asked.
"No idea, but we should find a way before to the others." Slam Bam shrugged.
"Right behind you." Sonata agreed as the duo ran through the maze as fast as possible while they found a treasure chest and Slam Bam's soul gem on the way before finding the switch to open the exit. "There's a teleporter."
"Maybe this'll take us back to the others." Slam Bam noted.
"Let's find out." Sonata said as the duo jumped and teleported back to the others.
"Mistress!" Stealth Elf gasped.
"What happened?" Pinkie asked.
"We were in a weird maze, but scored some treasure." Sonata explained.
"Even found my Soul Gem in there." Slam Bam added.
"How about helping us!" Boomer pointed out while throwing dynamites as the group were fighting Frozen Fiends before an Ice Ogre showed up.
"Water..." Sonata started, readying a water attack.
"Plus ice..." Slam Bam continued, readying an ice attack as fire started swirling around the Ice Ogre’s magic staff.
"Equals freeze!" The duo shouted as they imprisoned the Ice Ogre in ice.
"Not a bad sculpture." Sonata smirked.
"Heh, thanks. Now let’s get going." Slam Bam added as the then encountered Haldor.
"Haldor, are you okay?" Sonata asked.
"Wha-hoo! I found this here key! Heh! Looks like you all found it too! And it looks like these bozos are defending it so watch out!" Haldor informed as everyone then heard the crazy laughter again.
"I know that crazy cackle anywhere!" Spyro noticed.
"Hey, guys!" A voice called out before a gremlin appeared as everyone readied for a fight.
"Trigg! You need to listen to me-" Spyro tried to say before Trigger Happy belched loudly. "I... guess you’re kinda the same either way." Spyro shrugged as Trigger Happy ran up and hugged his friends, extremely happy they're alive.
"We're happy you're okay too, psycho." Stealth Elf giggled.
"Guess we don’t have to fight all of ‘em." Pinkie smiled.
"Hey Spyro, who are they?" Trigger Happy asked.
"Friends who are here to help." Spyro answered.
"Name’s Pinkie Pie." Pinkie introduced herself.
"I'm Mikey and she's Sonata." Mikey added.
"Hi." Sonata greeted.
"Nice to meet ya!" Trigger smiled.
"Boomer, you don't mind Trigger giving us more Tech power?" Mikey asked.
"More bang to the boom!" Boomer laughed.
"Then let's roll!" Mikey declared.
"Hahahahahaha! No gold, no glory!" Trigger Happy let out his battle cry before running off.
"Follow that... Whatever he is." Pinkie tried to say.
"Trigg’s a gremlin." Spyro explained.
"Follow that gremlin... And don't get him wet." Pinkie said as everyone followed Trigger Happy's path of carnage. They soon encounter Furyclops with red hats with white stripes and fluff wielding axes guarding the key alongside Chuckers.
"This will be quick." Mikey smirked while twirling his hammer before the Furyclops started spinning as Mikey attacked, only for his hammer to be deflected. "Huh?!"
"Wait for them to stop, then attack." Flameslinger informed as of when the Furyclops stopped spinning, they became dizzy.
"Perfect." Mikey smiled as he swung hard and the cyclops sore into the air.
"Heeheehee, target practice." Trigger Happy chuckled as he aimed his guns at the Furyclops and Chuckers. "Peace out!" Trigger Happy shouted as he shot and nailed every one of them.
"Nice shooting, Tex." Mikey quipped as Trigger Happy blew the smoke from his guns and Sonata grabbed the key.
"Wha-Hoo! That their key should open that their gate. Then I’ll show you my masterful plan of mastery!" Haldor explained while pointing at a gate across icy terrain.
"Lead the way." Sonata said as the group got across the ice and unlocked the gate before opening it, finding some catapult parts in front of them.
"What happened here?" Pinkie asked.
"Let’s find out." Mikey said as he grabbed the parts. The group went a bit farther before seeing a pile of catapult parts.
"Machine parts?" Boomer noticed.
"Wa-Hoo!!! We only need a few more parts to fix this old catapult and show those Ice Ogre so and so’s a thing or three!" Haldor whooped.
"Okay people, we're going to split up and get those parts. I want teams of three on each end. Three teams to get the parts, one to stay here and guard this position. No man enters the danger zone solo. Understood?" Mikey said.
"Right!" The group responded.
"Sonata, take Spyro and Flameslinger and go down the middle path. Pinkie, take Stealth Elf and Boomer and go down the left. Trigger Happy and Prism Break will go down the right with me. Everyone else guard this from the enemies." Mikey listed as Haldor looked at the wall.
"Aw cripes, one o’ then parts are probably over in that battlefield area. Dad-burn Cyclops territory. I should warn ya, they use real artillery shells instead of snowballs!" Haldor informed.
"Haha! Blow up wall real good!" Boomer laughed.
"Chop, you and your team hold this position but find shelter when they fire. Move it, people!" Mikey shouted as Boomer shattered the wall with a bomb.
"Stealth, I don't have to order you to listen to my friends right?" Sonata asked as Stealth Elf shook her head, saying no. "Good."
"Come on, Stealthy!" Pinkie urged.
"Understood." Stealth Elf responded as interestingly enough, Pinkie handed her team a pair of snowboards and safety gear.
"Let's ride!" Pinkie smiled as the group started moving. "This is fun!"
The three broke through some barriers as they lured the enemy’s fire to destroy the other barriers.
"Now this is awesome! Right, Stealth?!" Boomer cheered.
"How can you two enjoy this?!" Stealth Elf asked.
"Saving the world can be fun if you figure out how to make it like that way." Pinkie answered as the trio fought Frozen Fiends, Ice Ogres and Chuckers. "Follow us, boys!"
The monsters tried to chase after them, but tripped and started sliding out of control.
"Guys, road block up ahead!" Stealth Elf informed.
"Huh?" Pinkie and Boomer asked as Stealth Elf pointed to a villain ambush ahead.
"I see the part we need behind it." Pinkie noticed.
"Hahaha! It’s gonna be fun!" Boomer smiled before Pinkie grabbed the troll and threw him high above the road block as Boomer threw dynamite at the enemies.
"Mop up the rest, Stealthy!" Pinkie said as she threw Stealth Elf upwards before she sliced up the enemies and grabbed the part. "Got ya!"
"Alright, now let’s get back to the others!" Stealth Elf urged as the trio started head back to the catapult.
Meanwhile, Mikey's group charged forward at the enemies.
"Hey Trig, get ready to kiss the sky!" Mikey said as Trigger Happy laughed with a nod. "FORE!" Mikey shouted as he hit Trigger Happy above the enemy position.
"Terror from above!" Trigger Happy roared while shooting as the enemies scrambled for cover.
"Prism, hit them now!" Mikey called out.
"Right!" Prism Break as Mikey raised his hammer.
"Stone Wave!" Mikey shouted, sending out rumbling earth as Prism Break fired his beams before the turtle noticed the catapult parts. As Mikey grabbed the part, a Chucker grabbed him from behind.
"Let my friend go!" Trigger Happy roared as he fired at the Chucker and freed Mikey.
"Whew! Thanks, Trig. Wait, you shoot coins?" Mikey noticed.
"Yeah, but they're not legal currency. I tried." Trigger Happy informed.
"Oh." Mikey shrugged.
Sonata's group were pinned down by Chuckers in a maze.
"These guys are getting annoying!" Sonata growled.
"Not to mention we’re in an icy maze with holes." Spyro added.
"Sling, can you get a clear shot?" Sonata asked.
"I think so." Flameslinger answered.
"Spyro and I will draw their fire. You stay here and play Fire Sniper." Sonata said.
"Understood." Flameslinger nodded.
"And we’ll find the switch to the next teleporter." Spyro agreed as Flameslinger drew the Chuckers attention at him while his friends charged.
"Spyro, how hard is your skull?" Sonata asked.
"Pretty hard." Spryo answered as Sonata grabbed him and charged.
"BATTERING RAM!" Sonata shouted before she smashed Spyro's head through the line of enemies. They unknowingly also ran over a switch on the ground, opening the gate to another teleporter as a few enemies got up when Sonata pointed Spyro at them, cocking the dragon like a shotgun. "You really want to try that?" Sonata warned as the enemies went back down. "Thought so. Sling, all clear. You can come up now."
"Good." Flameslinger said as he raced up to his friends.
"Here's the teleporter. Let's go!" Sonata urged as the trio ran to the teleporter and found themselves in another icy hole-filled maze, but they saw the parts and a box and noticed cactuses, a switch for a gate that had the exit teleporter, but the maze didn’t have any inner walls.
"What now?" Spyro asked.
"Let’s get the parts and the box." Sonata answered.
"Agreed. Let's go!" Flameslinger nodded as the trio moved inside the maze, got the box, finding a Cossack hat inside it before they pressed the switch, unlocking the gate and got the parts.
"Good gravy, you did it! Now just come on back to the catapult! WAAAAA-HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Haldor cheered.
"Everyone in one piece?" Mikey asked as Sonata, Spyro and Flameslinger then teleported back to the others.
"My group is good." Sonata answered.
"A little banged up, but okay." Pinkie added.
"Wa-Hoo-Hoo-Hee-Hee-Hoo! We are back in business! Oooh we’re gonna give those Ice Ogres’ wall such a catapultin’! And you know what’s better than launching SNOWballs?" Haldor asked.
"Sling, you're the hero who fired on Kaos' flag. You want the honors, buddy?" Sonata offered.
"Very well." Flameslinger smiled.
"FIREBALLS!!" Haldor said, answering his own questions as the catapult then suddenly assembled itself completely, being a double catapult.
"That was impressive." Sonata noted as Flameslinger got onto the left side of the catapult, while Slam Bam got onto the right side, both ready to launch some fireballs.
"Let’s get this to the Ice Ogre Wall STAT!" Pinkie declared.
"Come on, people. Move it!" Mikey urged as the group soon got to the wall with the double catapult. "Load it up!" Mikey added as flaming spiked metal balls were put into the catapult launchers. "Fire!" Mikey shouted as Flameslinger and Slam Bam fired, damaging the wall before Ice Ogres and cyclops came out before firing artillery shells. "Spy, you and anyone else shoot those shells. Keep them from hitting our position."
"Got it!" Spyro responded as he and the others fired to prevent the shells from hitting.
"Fire the catapult again!" Mikey ordered as the two fired again, destroying part of the wall, that being the right end. "Keep hammering it! Fire some of us if you have to."
"Fire!" Trigger Happy laughed as the elf and yeti fired another round, destroying more of the wall.
"We can't hold out much longer!" Pinkie yelped.
"Getting close!" Slam Bam informed.
"Hit it again!" Mikey yelled as they fired more, destroying most of the wall, with one column left standing.
"One left." Chop Chop noticed.
"Take it out." Sonata ordered as Flameslinger and Slam Bam fired one more time, obliterating the wall as summer wind blew in, melting all the snow and freeing the village from eternal winter.
"WE WON!" Mikey cheered.
"HUZZAH!!!!! Hey, I haven’t said “Huzzah!” in years. It’s always been “Wa-Hoo!” But now that you’ve saved our valley and brought back Spring, it’s “Huzzah forever”! Ha ha, I can feel the air warmin’ up already. Now if you’ll excuse me, I am off to put on me swimmin’ trunks. Heh-heh!" Haldor chuckled before he vanished.
"Spyro, I think I'm going to like these three." Slam Bam smirked.
"Me, too!" Trigger Happy cackled.
"Hehe, they certainly make life like a party." Spyro agreed.
"Drinks are on us when we get back to the Core!" Pinkie said as everyone headed back to the Core.
"Sweet warmth." Sonata sighed in relief.
"Yeah…" Pinkie and Mikey agreed with relaxed smiles.
"So, how many of us are still missing?" Trigger Happy asked.
"It’s a lot to explain." Sonata said.
"The majority of Fire, Life, and Undead. Plus, a few others." Chop Chop listed.
"Yeah." Sonata confirmed.
"Doesn't matter. We'll defeat Kaos when we find the others." Mikey smiled as everyone cheered.

Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
"Excellent! The Eternal Water Source is once again part of the Core of Light! But the darkness will continue to spread until we have all the Eternal Sources." Hugo informed as Mikey sighed in relaxation.
"Sweet warmth of the sun." Mikey smiled as Sonata took a deep sharp breath in and deep sharp breath out.
"Yeah. And I’m excited to test out my Soul Gem ability, especially since I have an idea what it is." Sonata agreed.
"Has anyone had any luck finding the next clue?" Pinkie asked before the sound of a gate opening was heard.
"Now THAT was unexpected! Hmm. I need to do a little research to find where you must go next, but in the meantime, why don't you investigate the beach down there. I've been hearing strange noises coming from there for a while." Hugo requested.
"Alright. Zap, you're with me." Pinkie said as she and the water dragon went to the beach before encountering a sapphire with butterfly wings. "Pretty." Pinkie awed as she grabbed the sapphire before the duo went past the gate and found a strange machine.
"Oil... Can." The machine uttered
"Oil can? Be right back!" Pinkie said as she dashed off and came back before she started oiling the machine. "There. That's the last rusted spot. Zap, give him a low shock to get him moving."
"Got it." Zap said as he gave the machine a little jolt before Persephone suddenly showed up.
"I smell you have a Winged Sapphire. It is a happy gem. Can dance with more powers for smaller number of gold. Lucky party! More Winged Sapphires in this happy place. Ten of their secret campings for you and your friends to find. Winged Sapphires like to say ‘Hello’ when they meet the fairies. The more that say this, the smaller gold number I need from Skylanders for happy dancing." Persephone informed.
"Translate." Pinkie requested.
"More Winged Sapphire means less we pay for upgrades." Zap explained.
"Wow!" Pinkie gasped in amazement as Persephone smiled before vanishing. The machine started moving more smoothly and effectively
"Goooooooood Morning Skylands! Whew. Thanks for the oil-up! I’ve been stuck in that position for ages!" The machine greeted.
"You feeling okay, Mr...?" Pinkie tried to say.
"Oh! I don’t really have a name. Ooooph. That feels good. Hey, I owe you, big time. I know! I can make you rich! See, I’m a Clam-Tron 4000. Just find me some clams and I’ll mash them all up into a big fat Pearl! How’s that?" Clam-Tron offered.
"Just a sec... Skeletal Grasp!" Pinkie shouted as her skeleton hands brought the clams to the Clam-Tron 4000. "Ta-da!"
"Let’s see… One, two, three, four five… Yep! That’s enough! *Eats clams* As promised, one new gleaming white Pearl coming right up! A little more pressure! Add some heat! Now just shift it around with a touch of elbow grease and… PRESTO!" Clam-Tron said as his hatch on his midsection opened, only for a black pearl to pop out. "What? A shiny new BLACK pearl? Oh no… what happened? What did you do to me? Unh… I’ve lost my gift."
A well-dressed bead showed up. "But, black pearls are far more valuable in today’s market. Here, let me take a look. *Investigates “pearl”* Ah, it’s… uh… not a pearl… I, uh… Big… fuse… go boom!"
"I don’t understand, what are you talking about?" Clam-Tron asked.
"YOU MADE A BOMB!" The bear panicked as that definitely surprised Pinkie and Zap.
"Nobody light a match." Pinkie advised as Hugo showed up with Trigger Happy.
"Good news! I found another piece to the great machine! The Cyclopses have stolen the Crystal Eye. Figures! They always wanted it for their own. Even named their castle after it." Hugo informed.
"Yeah, not really creative. Oh, hi Auric." Trigger Happy greeted the bear.
"So, let's go get it. Full speed ahead!" Pinkie declared.
"But the bad news that they’ve sealed off the bridge entrance that used to unite the temple to their kingdom." Hugo pointed out.
"Ah phooey!" Pinkie groaned.
"Looks like we’re gonna have to find another… Wait… Is that a bomb? Where in Skylands did we get a bomb?" Hugo noticed.
"I made it myself!" Clam-Tron informed.
"Really? Well that might be just what we need. A bomb could possibly open up the entrance to the tunnel. Or blow us all up in the process, but hopefully the former." Hugo said.
"All right then. Just come back any time you need another one. Apparently I can make these things all day long." Clam-Tron noted.
"Anyone got a match?" Pinkie asked as she picked up the bomb before the fuse was suddenly lit. "Eep!"
"HAHAHAHA! Try a wall of stone." Trigger Happy laughed as Pinkie threw the bomb.
"FIRE IN THE HOLE!" Pinkie shouted as the bomb exploded, destroying a stone wall while the explosion.
"What was that?!" Sonata noticed.
"Zappy!" Whirlwind gasped before everyone raced down, expecting a battle.
"Where's the fight?!" Mikey asked.
"Sorry, no brawl here." Pinkie apologized as the smoke from the explosion cleared up.
"Okay, but who's the mole guy?" Sonata pointed out.
"WOW! Thank you for breaking down the barrier!" A voice said in gratitude.
"Is he a bald Mabu?" Pinkie guessed.
"No, he's a Molekin." Zap answered.
"Oh dear." The Molekin dreaded.
"Calm down, we're Skylanders." Whirlwind assured.
"Oh, thank goodness you aren't Cyclopeses." The Molekin sighed in relief.
"Dude, are you in need of food or medical attention?" Mikey asked.
"Hey, I can hear just fine. Wait, you aren't Cyclopses, are you? I sure hope not because I just escaped from their terrible Crystal Eye Castle!" The Molekin said.
"Doesn't look like he sees too well, does he?" Hugo noticed.
"Mr. Molekin..." Sonata started.
"Please, Mr. Molekin was my father. My name is Diggs." The Molekin introduced himself.
"Oh, okay." Sonata noted.
"Oh, I saw terrible things in that place. Or at least I think I did. They have a great crystal orb that focuses energy. I fear they'll use it for evil. That seems to be their thing, you know. Evil and not bathing. Phew." Diggs sighed in relief as the girls gagged at that "not bathing" part.
"Cyclops don't have a sense of smell, so this isn't going to be pleasant." Spyro explained.
"I'm out." Sonic Boom said.
"Have fun, boys." Whirlwind agreed.
"That's it! That's the Crystal Eye that we need to rebuild the Core! That's where you must go! Recover that orb and bring it back to the ruins! Of course, the downside is that you will inevitably have to battle the Cyclopses, so be careful." Hugo advised.
"Dro, we might need your sensor to find the eye." Mikey requested.
"Terrafin, feel up for a fight?" Pinkie asked.
"You bet." Terrafin smiled while cracking his knuckles.
"I go! I sense friend there!" Voodood volunteered.
"YEAH AND HOLD YOUR NOSE! Meanwhile, I can take you guys there, no worries. I may be a little nearsighted, but since there's only one bridge leading to their castle, it should be a... a..." Diggs tried to say.
"A SNAP?" Hugo assumed.
"Yeah, that's right." Diggs nodded.
"This might be difficult." Mikey noted.
"Are ya ready to go to the Crystal Eye Castle?" Diggs asked.
"Ready." Pinkie confirmed.
"RIGHT! Let's go!!" Diggs delcared as he started moving forward towards the group.
"Ahem... Other way." Hugo pointed out.
"Ah. Of course it is. I must say I am not looking forward to seeing those Cyclopses again, but at least I won't see them too clearly. Heh heh." Diggs chuckled as the group started moving forward on the bridge.
"Stay close." Mikey advised.
"Okay." Diggs responded.
An hour later, the group arrived at Crystal Eye Castle.
"Wow, grate workmanship." Mikey noticed.
"Before I escaped, I was at the top of the castle. It was there that I saw something that made my normally blurry vision suddenly super clear. It must've been the Crystal Eye!" Diggs informed.
"Sensor detect high energy source in same spot. Alert: High explosive readings detected." Drobot said.
"To get up there, you'll need to destroy the two Seeing Towers in order to open the big gate!" Diggs pointed out as a mechanical eye suddenly popped up.
"That's... Disturbing." Sonata shivered as Terrafin punched the eye, making it go down as the first gate lowered, opening for the group.
"8 seconds before the gate rises, closing itself again." Drobot said as everyone got through.
"Diggs, you better get out of here." Mikey advised.
"Oh yes! One more thing! And this one is VERY important! Once you get past the gate-*Hit by an explosive barrel* Gahahahahow!" Diggs yelped as he was sent flying with burning pants.
"Tried to warn him." Mikey sighed as there were two Timidclops on top of the first slope, throwing down explosive barrels.
"Let's go, everyone!" Sonata declared.
"It is on like Donkey Kong!" Pinkie whooped as the heroes charged ahead while dodging the barrels. "Burning Bone Ball!"
The attack knocked out the two timidclopses before the group dodged more barrels from two more timidclopses on the top of another slope.
"Let's try a combo, Zap! Tidal Slash!" Sonata shouted as she fired her water attack and Zap fired his electric attack at Sonata's water attack. The combo slashed through the barrels and shocked the two timidclopses.
"Here's a kick to the face!" Stealth Elf said as she suddenly appeared and kicked the two shocked timidclopses, knocking them out.
"Now the main door. Mikey, may I honor your door knocker?" Terrafin asked.
"She's all yours, pal." Mikey responded as he gave Terrafin his hammer, Lifestone, before Cruncher chompies broke out of barrels as there were three more timidclopses on top of the next slope with an eye gate behind them.
"None shall break my shield!" Chop Chop declared.
"If those crunchers are chompies, they should be easy to beat." Sonata noted as Flameslinger fired and defeated them.
"Terrafin, break the door down!" Mikey shouted as Terrafin got ready to swing hard.
"KNOCK, KNOCK!" Terrafin roared as he was about to attack one of the eyes when a Cyclops Chopper spun in, deflecting the blow. "I hate these things."
"Just wait." Pinkie said as the cyclops got dizzy and stopped.
"Stone Wave!" Mikey shouted as Terrafin dove underground for a double attack. The duel attack hit the cyclops hard as Terrafin punched the enemy out with an uppercut.
"Keep up the pressure, my friends!" Lightning Rod urged as he was throwing lightning bolts.
"Dro, you still picking up the reading?" Sonata asked as Lightning Rod's bolts hit two mechanical eyes, opening a gate for 4 seconds as the group made it past through, making it to the outer courtyard.
"Affirmative, and we have Cyclops Choppers and a Cyclops Chucker." Drobot informed as a big stone flew at the group.
"Leave friends alone!" Voodood shouted as he swung his axe, making it extend on a chain before it slashed the Cyclops Chucker.
"Warning: Detecting explosive signatures and growing." Drobot informed as the Cyclops Choppers were defeated.
"Well, let's go!" Mikey urged as Pinkie whacked a mechanical eye as the next gate opened for 8 seconds before the group got through. The group made some turtle bridges before reaching the gate to the Seeing Tower of the yellow eye, one of the eye switches being guarded by Crunchers and a Cyclops Chucker to the far right of them. "Divide and conquer!"
"Good! I'll go right!" Terrafin said.
"Switches this time will last six seconds before the gate closes again." Drobot informed.
"I'll get it." Flameslinger volunteered.
"Everyone else cover him!" Sonata ordered as everyone protected Flameslinger while he dashed for the switch.
"Guys, let's go get the Crystal Eye!" Pinkie whooped.
"Sensors detect energy gate preventing forward advancement. Energy originating from nearby towers." Drobot pointed out.
"Oh shoot! Forgot about that." Pinkie pouted as Terrafin punched through the enemies, before he soon obtained Prism Break's Soul Gem.
"I'll take Stealth Elf, Zap, Terrafin and take the left tower. Pinkie, take Chop Chop and Flameslinger take the right. Sonata, once the gate is down, take your team and get the Crystal Eye." Mikey said.
"Got it." Sonata nodded as Mikey and his group stormed towards the Left Tower.
"Come on, boys!" Pinkie urged as the trio entered the tower before encountering a leashed Cyclops Mammoth.
"Fortunately, this one's chained, otherwise this would be more difficult." Chop Chop said before the chain suddenly broke. "Awe, nuts!"
"Skeletal Grasp!" Pinkie yelled as the skeletal hands emerged underneath the enemy, knocking it into the air.
"Give me a boost, Chop!" Flameslinger said as he gained a running start before Chop Chop let his friend onto his shield and launched his friend up. 'Volley Shot!' Flameslinger shouted as he shot an arrow upwards before he kicked the Cyclops Mammoth upward as well before it was hit and pinned down by the falling arrow.
"Yeah! So how do we deactivate the energy shield?" Pinkie asked before Crunchers suddenly appeared.
"Destroy the four eyes, and then the generator itself! Flameslinger and I will hold off the Crunchers!" Chop Chop informed.
"Thanks!" Pinkie smiled as she started doing some damage as the duo struggled to keep them at bay.
"Nice knowing you, Chop." Flameslinger agreed.
"Indeed." Chop Chop agreed as Pinkie destroyed the generator after having destroyed the four eyes.
"BOOM!" Pinkie roared before the top of the tower was destroyed as the right side of the main gate was shut down. "Need a hand, boys? Skeletal Grasp!"
Skeletal hands erupted form the ground, attacking the rest of the Crunchers.
"Thanks." The duo said in gratitude.
"Hope Mikey is doing good." Pinkie noted as the trio exited the tower before it literally fell apart.
"Come on, guys! Pour on the pressure." Mikey urged, seeing the destroyed tower as the four fought Cyclops Choppers and Chuckers while hitting the eye switches on the way before making it past gate.
"Zap, behind you!" Terrafin called out as Mikey used his Stone Wave attack to defend Zap.
"You okay?" Mikey asked.
"Yeah." Zap nodded.
"Guys, in here!" Stealth Elf pointed out as the group got into the tower, only to find two leashed Cyclops Mammoths and three Cyclops Chuckers on pillars guarding the generator and four eyes.
"Stealth, you deal with those eyes. Leave the beat down to the men!" Mikey said before he and the boys charged as Stealth Elf snuck by.
"Incoming slime!" Zap shouted as he slid past the enemies before stopping. "How's THIS for a shock?" Zap quipped as he shot his Lightning Breath at his slime, electrifying it as it shocked the enemies that were on or crossing the slime.
"FORE!" Mikey yelled as he swung his hammer, sending the surviving mammoth flying.
"All done!" Stealth Elf informed as Terrafin destroyed the pillars holding the Cyclops Chuckers before knocking them out.
"Nice!" Terrafin smiled while the top of the tower was destroyed as the left side of the gate was shut down. That was when the main gate opened.
"All on Sonata now." Mikey added as the tower started rumbling with stones falling onto the four.
"Let's go." Terrafin said as Mikey and his party got out just in time before the tower then literally fell apart.
"Okay, boys. Follow me to the Crystal Eye!" Sonata declared as the remaining four got past the gate, only to encounter four timidclopses and two Cyclops Chuckers. "This will be easy."
"Friendly energy detected." Drobot noticed.
"Ooga Booga!" A voice shouted before a mini tiki jumped at the group as they dodged it.)
"Is that a Witch Doctor?" Sonata noticed.
"No. It's mini double bomb." Voodood answered.
"I meant the big one." Sonata pointed out as said witch doctor went into the big tower.
"Double Trouble! My friend, I'm happy to see you're safe!" Lightning Rod said.
"Lightning Rod, remember." Sonata pointed out while dodging the mini double bomb.
"Kaos' control on our friend: Confirmed." Drobot informed.
"Sorry, my friend." Lightning Rod apologized.
"No biggie. WATCH OUT!" Sonata yelped as the mini double bomb came at the group again before she combined her swords. "Saber Boomerang!" Sonata shouted as she threw her combined swords at the mini double bomb before it got sliced and exploded as Sonata caught her attack and split it into two swords again. "And before you ask, that wasn’t my Soul Gem Ability."
"Friend not evil?" Voodood asked while attacking a cyclops as Sonata's sabers gave the group time to race up.
"Blink and Destroy!" Drobot roared, letting out his battle cry.
"Axe first, questions later!" Voodood shouted, giving out a battle cry too.
"One strike and you’re out!" Lightning Rod catchphrased as the trio took down the Timidclops.
"Hey, what were those lines anyway?" Sonata asked as Lightning Rod threw a lightning bolt at a Chucker.
"Those are our battle cries." Lightning Rod answered as Drobot fired his eye beams at the other Chucker.
"Or as you simply put it, a catchphrase." Drobot added.
"All we have is a line we share." Sonata said as she was slicing up enemies.
"Take heart, my friend. Let it come to you." Lightning Rod advised.
"Oh… Okay." Sonata noted as the group entered. Double Trouble stared angrily at his friends as there were Chompy Pods here as well.
"Forgive me, my friend." Lightning Rod apologized as the cloud titan threw lightning bolts, but Double Trouble dodged them.
"You two deal with the Chompy pods. Voodood and I will take care of DT." Sonata said while withdrawing her swords as she readied her fists, which has the gloves she is wearing, and the knuckle parts of her gloves gleamed with both gloves shine a bit as if it has a thin layer of soap on them. "What's going on?"
"Soul Gem." Voodood answered before Sonata suddenly felt energy flowing through her freely as she smiled.
"Aw yeah… I’m back! *Strikes a fancy, yet dramatic battle pose* Bring it, baddies! I’ll take you all on!" Sonata declared as Double Trouble fired his energy blast, but she stood strong. "Time for a clean technique, created by a friend of mine from one of my previous adventures!" Sonata said as she clapped her hands together before spreading them outward again, creating a stream of strange bubbles surrounding and connecting her hands. "Now, Hamon Bubble Launcher!" Sonata shouted as the energy blast hit the stream, but deflected upward. "Looks like you could use a good cleanup, Double Trouble!" Sonata quipped as she threw the bubbles, breaking the stream as they swirled around Double Trouble before they flocked together and attacked the witch doctor like he was punched, being launched into the air as the bubbles enveloped him. "Now, Hamon Bubble Barrier!" Sonata added as the bubbles finished enveloping Double Trouble, leaving him trapped in a giant bubble. "Wow, still awake, huh? Tough crowd. Voodood, when I pop the bubble, get ready to attack with all your strength."
"Ready!" Voodood said as Sonata launched a punch filled with strange energy and attacked the bubble barrier, popping it as the orc charged toward the falling Double Trouble. "Sorry." Voodood apologized as he swung and hit his friend into his own copy. "Friend hurt?" Voodood asked as the copy exploded, knocking Double Trouble out unconscious with spinning swirls on his eyes.
"He's going to be fine." Sonata answered.
"Chompies are exterminated!" Lightning Rod informed.
"Chompy pods are eliminated as well." Drobot added as the spikes lowered, revealing the Crystal Eye.
"That's an impressive piece of craftsmanship." Sonata noted with an impressed whistle before Chuckers fell down, defeated.
"Just in case we in a possible ambush, Drobot and I flew upward and checked for enemies." Lightning Rod said.
"Good. Let's get out of here." Sonata declared as the four rolled out the Crystal Eye, meeting up with the others and Diggs. "We're back!"
"Companion rescued." Drobot informed while carrying Double Trouble.
"Who's the Witch Doctor?" Mikey asked.
"Double Trouble, a Magic Skylander." Sonata answered.
"Let's get back to the Core and wake him up." Pinkie advised.
"Wow! Amazing. Suddenly everything is so much clearer. Let’s get it back to the Ruins and add it to the machine." Diggs said.
"I just said that." Pinkie pouted.
"I think he said that differently, Pinkster." Mikey explained.
A short while later, the group returned to the Core of Light before Master Eon showed up as the Crystal Eye started to float.
"Well done! You have brought back the Crystal Eye." Master Eon congradulated as the Crystal Eye placed itself on the Twin Spouts before looking forward while underground, a giant pristine crystal emerged from the magma as two pieces of machinery grabbed hold, carrying it as the addition was complete.
"Clear." Mikey said while using a makeshift defibrillator as he shocked Double Trouble, only to find himself shocked, due to Double Trouble getting that jump alarm, leaving the turtle dazed. "Hello Eda, how is your cockatoo?"
The girls covered their mouths to keep themselves from laughing as Mikey collapsed.
"I'm awake." Double Trouble informed.
"Hey Witch Doctor, give us the magic words!" Pinkie smiled.
"Hilarious." Double Trouble deadpanned.
"So, who's left to rescue?" Sonata asked.
"All the Life, Undead, and Fire, Drill Sergeant, Wrecking Ball, 2 Earths and Warnado." Drobot informed as Mikey woke up.
"Fourteen left. We're close to full strength." Mikey smiled as Hugo showed up.
"Thank you! Now we must get the Eternal Earth Source. The Villagers in Stonetown have recovered it and are keeping it safe until we arrive." Hugo informed.
"Okay. Let's eat then we'll go get it." Sonata added.
"WHOO-HOO! YEAH! Finally, an easy one! What did I tell ya! CAKE!" Flynn cheered.
"Sure. EXCEPT for Kaos, the growing Darkness AND the foul-smelling Cyclopses, ALL looking for the very thing that we are after." Hugo pointed out.
"Oh. Yeah, well. Heh. I guess if you count those…" Flynn admitted.
"Meantime, let's eat." Sonata said.
"I’m sure Diggs knows the way. We should ask him when you’re ready." Hugo advised.
"Oh good, ‘cause mah peepers can use a rest." Diggs sighed in relief.
"Also, Pinkie, Stealth and I need to ask Cali about something." Sonata added.
"Alright. Rest up, everyone." Mikey said as everyone got a break.

Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
Everyone was eating hard, fueling up to get the Eternal Earth Source.
"Everyone's stomachs full?" Mikey asked.
"Oh yeah." Prism Break answered.
"We're ready!" Zap said as Whirlwind nodded in agreement.
"Perfect. Gill, how about you..." Sonata was about to ask.
"Pass." Gill Grunt declined in a spiteful tone.
"Was it something I said?" Sonata wondered in cofusion.
"He really doesn't like pirates. He was in love with a mermaid before becoming a Skylander and she got kidnapped by pirates." Spyro explained as that hit Sonata hard.
"That bites. Any other volunteers for water?" Mikey noted.
"I'm game." Wham-Shell volunteered.
"Take another breather, pal. I'll go." Zap assured.
"Okay." Wham-Shell shrugged.
"I'm coming along as well." Whirlwind added.
"Cool! Double, you in?" Pinkie asked.
"Why not." Double Trouble shrugged.
"Prism Break, you in pal?" Mikey checked.
"The Beam is Supreme!" Prism Break confirmed, letting out his battle cry as everyone started heading out while Sonata looked sympathetically at Gill Grunt.
"Are you okay?" Whirlwind asked.
"Yeah... Let's just get moving." Sonata responded as the group soon reached Diggs.
"Say, how's about a visit to Stonetown?" Diggs checked.
"We're ready." Mikey confirmed.
"Okay, it's digging time! But we'll need to cross the Stone Bridge before we start. Follow me! Er, just tell me when we get there, okay?" Diggs said.
"This won't end well." Pinkie dreaded.
"Not if we makes sure he doesn't go off course." Prism Break pointed out.
"Agreed." The group nodded as an hour later, they arrived close to Stonetown.
"Alright. This is as far as I can take you guys. Stonetown is just beyond this Cyclops outpost. But the ground is shaking something terrible. All these vibrations... I sense something is very wrong here!" Diggs shivered in fear.
"Yeah, that's actually a safe assumption." Whirlwind confirmed while flying as what she was seeing in the sky and distance, she was seeing a giant rampaging golem destroying a village.
"Help! It's the Eternal Earth Source! It's become a hideous, horrific, terrible monster!" A citizen cried out.
"And some kind of Dinosaur is throwing boomerang at us." Another citizen panicked as Whirlwind flew down.
"We definitely have trouble." Whirlwind said.
"Well, looks like this will be the hard way." Mikey noted.
"A long hard way since we got Chompies and Eye Switches ahead of us." Sonata added.
"Please, this is too easy." Flameslinger scoffed as he pulled out multiple arrows before firing them, defeating all the Chompies.
"Now we gotta get to the Eye Switches." Mikey pointed out.
"I can handle it... With my new Dynamite Nunchucks!" Boomer whooped.
"Awesome!" Mikey cheered as Boomer took out the eyes fast.
"Move it, everyone!" Boomer urged as the group got into the old Cyclops fort.
"Enemies ahead!" Chop Chop informed as Sonata then had an idea.
"Chop, use you bramble on my mark." Sonata requested.
"Very well." Chop Chop nodded as Sonata connected her blades.
"Now! Cyclone Slash!" Sonata shouted with Chop Chop stabbing the ground as the combined energy of both attacks caused a feedback, knocking the enemies back while also dazing the Chompies and Cyclops Choppers guarding the two towers with the Eye Switches on top.
"Hit them hard! Vine Constriction!" Mikey shouted while swinging his hammer as vines started wrapping around the enemies and trapping them. "Easy target, guys!"
"What was your original intention?" Chop Chop asked while slicing.
"Mimicking a unique sword a friend of ours does. Bad idea, I know." Sonata admitted.
"Nothing venture, nothing gained." Chop Chop shrugged.
"Stealth, see if you can sneak by and scout the area ahead. Might give a tactical advantage." Pinkie noted.
"Okay." Stealth Elf nodded before going invisible as everyone took cover
"So your friend... Is he an accomplish swordsman?" Chop Chop asked.
"Well, he is aiming to become the world’s greatest swordsman. He can cut through steel." Sonata answered.
"In a dimension of pirates, we're friends with a band of pirates that actually act more like heroes." Mikey explained.
"Gill might find that hard, or even impossible to believe." Zap winced at that.
"Just because someone has a Jolly Roger doesn't mean they're evil." Pinkie pointed out as Stealth Elf popped out of nowhere.
"There's a path we use to sneak by." Stealth Elf informed.
"Where?" Sonata checked.
"It’s through the Blue Water Swamp and the new Cyclops fortress." Stealth Elf answered.
"Let's going but everyone stay alert." Mikey advised.
"Okay." Stealth Elf nodded as everyone started sneaking until Double Trouble saw an attack coming.
"Look out!" Double Trouble shouted as Chompies popped out of barrels as Cyclops Choppers showed up.
"Double, can you summon your explosive copies as mines?" Mikey asked.
"Yes, but how about a Magic Bomb?" Double Trouble responded.
"But combine it with Pinkie's Burning Bone Ball attack." Mikey added.
"Ooh! Above and below!" Pinkie awed in excitement as the duo got their attacks ready. "Burning Bone Ball!"
"Ooga-booga-boo!" Double Trouble shouted/chanted as Pinkie charged her Burning Bone Ball attack and swung low, allowing the flaming skull to travel underground as Double Trouble summoned a magic bomb before the burning skull erupts the ground and collided with the bomb, causing a big explosion that took out the chompies.
"Can you guys give us lessons on battle cries?" Pinkie requested.
"Our catchphrases?" Flameslinger asked.
"Yeah." Pinkie added.
"I’m sorry, but we can’t really teach any of you three about that. The only think we can say is that it will come to you." Stealth Elf informed.
"Yeah, that's fair." Sonata admitted while slicing.
"Guess it can’t be 'Booyahkasha.'" Mikey noted.
"Let's get into the fortress." Pinkie said as the group beat the Cyclops before moving forward, making a turtle bridge to the next isle while beating Squiddlers before encountering a Rock Walker.
"What's that creature?" Mikey asked.
"That’s a Rock Walker, and let’s just say they have fiery indigestion." Zap informed.
"Ew." The Goofball Trio gagged.
"Actually, Dragon Spike had indigestion that had fire burps while molting." Mikey remembered.
"Skeletal Grasp!" Pinkie shouted as the skeletal hands grabbed the Walker’s legs while Zap spotted something on the right at a bridge/balcony combo.
"There’s a key, we might need it." Zap pointed out.
"Right behind you." Mikey agreed as the two moved and got the key.
"Let's jet to the door and secure the area." Sonata said before chompies and more Rock Walkers appeared as she combined blades, switching her elemental power from water to magic. "Here I thought this was getting boring."
"A lot of stuff are eventful in Skylands." Whirlwind explained as the group kept moving forward before they encountered chompies with stones flowing around them and an Earth Spell Punk.
"Starting to hate these Spell Punks!" Pinkie growled while fighting as Mikey attacked the Chompies, only for his weapon to bounce harmlessly off them.
"What's going on?!" Mikey gasped.
"It's the Earth Spell Punk, it gave the Chompies armor." Prism Break answered.
"Stone Wave." Mikey said as his attack hit the Spell Punk, knocking it into the air.
"Easy target." Flameslinger smirked as he nailed the Spell Punk and the enemies lost their armor.
"Here's an option: Run for lives and let us pass or..." Sonata started as she charged her swords, but the chompies charged at her anyway, making Sonata sigh. "Tried to warn you. Mystic Blades!"
Sonata performed a cross-slash as it hit the Chompies, hitting them hard while the smarter enemies fled.
"I got the key!" Zap called out as the group soon found Lightning Rod's soul gem.
"This should make Rod happy." Whirlwind smiled as everyone headed into the fortress and found no one guarding it.
"What the?" Sonata calmly gasped.
"No one's home." Pinkie said before two Cyclops Choppers attacked.
"We stand corrected." Mikey revised.
"Oh well, let's go!" Pinkie shrugged as everyone charged in, beating the two Cyclops Choppers and soon found a locked gate. The gate had three locks, which requires three keys, one of said keys being to the left of the gate.
"That's convenient." Boomer noted.
"Better split up." Sonata advised as she took Stealth Elf and Flameslinger while Pinkie took Prism Break and Double Trouble. Sonata, Stealth Elf and Flameslinger went right, finding the second key after a few right turns. "That was easy." Sonata smiled before a Hob ‘n’ Yaro appeared and took the key before running away. "Sorry."
"I knew it couldn't be that easy, so no harm done." Flameslinger responded.
"Thanks. Stealth, you left. I'll go right. Sling, shoot when you got the shot." Sonata said.
"Very well." Flameslinger nodded.
"Understood." Stealth Elf agreed as Flameslinger jumped to a different position. Sonata got in front of the Hob 'n' Yarb which made him run straight into Stealth Elf.
"Going somewhere?" Stealth Elf quipped as the Hob 'n' Yaro jumped to get away, only to get right into Flameslinger's line of fire.
"Thank you very much." Sonata smirked as she grabbed the key before Flameslinger fired, hitting the Hob 'n' Yaro dead-on.
"That was... Kinda fun." Stealth Elf admitted.
"A fight can be fun when the people you care about are with you." Sonata said.
"Really?" Stealth Elf asked, answered by Sonata's smile as Flameslinger gave her a thumbs up. Back with Pinkie...
"Are pushing giant stone blocks like this always this tough?" Pinkie panted.
"Nah, ya get used to it." Prism Break answered.
"I got the key." Double Trouble informed as he has crossed the bridge, getting to the key before grabbing it. Everyone returned, only to find Mikey playing cards with the rest of the group.
"Hey, guys." Mikey greeted.
"Hi, Mikey. *Whew!*" Pinkie exhaled.
"Let's get out of here." Sonata said as those holding the keys inserted them into the locks before they shattered as the gate opened.
"Say what you will about Cyclops, but they're great with architecture." Mikey admitted as the group got outside as they went down the stairs before breaking down a stone wall barrier, seeing a lot of enemies.
"Friend of yours?" Pinkie asked as she picked up a boomerang.
"Yeah, but he isn't here." Prism Break informed.
"Let's get the Eternal Earth Source! CHARGE!" Mikey shouted with Boomer letting out a laugh as he threw bombs and dynamite around before one of the bombs blew up a blocked entrance, revealing a path to a soul gem with the face of an Earth Dragon on it.
"Is there a dragon for each element?" Pinkie noticed.
"Uh, yeah. It's kinda obvious." Zap pointed out.
"Okay, just asking." Pinkie said.
"GUYS, GIANT ROCK CREATURE!" Mikey called out before he noticed the huge stone block bridge puzzle in front of him and his friends.
"This will be easy." Whirlwind said as of later, the group solved the puzzle and got across the stones, making it to the town outskirts before the giant golem ran off and knocked away a Mabu. There were also more enemies as they ambushed the group, with an Earth Spell Punk to boot.
"I took down one giant... This one won't be different." Mikey assured.
"We gotta get past them first." Prism Break pointed out.
"Let's give a fireworks show, Boomer. Burning Bone Ball!" Pinkie shouted as Boomer threw a giant bomb and the two attack fused into a huge explosion, beating the enemies in front of them. "We got a Rock Giant to destroy!"
"Come on, people... It's Hammer Time!" Mikey roared, letting out his battle cry as everyone looked at him in confusion. "No good?"
"It's fine." Double Trouble responded.
"Wow, thanks." Mikey smiled as everyone thundered towards the golem and saw another brainwashed Skylander with him
"Dino-Rang!" Prism Break called out as Dino-Rang glared at his friends.
"Guys, we have to fight him." Mikey pointed out.
"Time to give my new upgrade a test run!" Pinkie smiled.
"I'm with you, Blasting Buddy!" Boomer laughed.
"Ditto." Double Trouble agreed as the fire on Pinkie's flail suddenly burned blue.
"Hot!" Pinkie yelped as the trio slid down and an Earth barrier came up, preventing escape. "Guess it's a one-way trip."
Dino-Rang prepared to fight.
"Guess this is the hard way." Boomer added.
"Time to do this." Prism Break declared.
"You guys fight the golem. The three of us will fight Dino Rang." Pinkie said.
"You got it!" Mikey responded as he and everyone else raced at the golem.
"Remember, don't hurt him too bad. He's just brainwashed." Pinkie pointed out as Dino-Rang threw his boomerangs at the trio. "Whoa!" Pinkie yelped as the trio dodge the attack as Double Trouble started summoning explosive duplicates. While the doubles jumped at Dino Rang, he threw his boomerangs around him, knocking the doubles away. "Try and keep him off balance. He can't hit the three of us at once."
"Just be glad his boomerangs aren’t upgraded." Double Trouble said as the trio circled Dino-Rang and attacked him from all sides. He was so confused, he threw his boomerang and ended up hitting himself hard as that made him dizzy with mini boomerangs spinning around his head.
"That had to hurt." Pinkie winced as getting knocked by his own weapon luckily snapped Dino Rang out of his trance.
"Oy, what gives?" Dino-Rang asked.
"Easy, Dino. You okay, buddy?" Boomer checked.
"Boomer?" Dino-Rang noticed.
"Can you fight?" Pinkie asked.
"I think so, shirley." Dino-Rang answered.
"Okay? Let's go help our friends!" Pinkie declared.
"Right-o!" Dino-Rang agreed as the group found the others struggling against the rock golem.
"Falling rocks, stone barrier and pinball boulders?! What next?" Mikey deadpanned.
"I have a plan: My Burning Bone Ball, Plus Boomer's explosives, and Double Trouble's copy equals..." Pinkie started.
"One big bomb." Boomer and Double Trouble finished.
"A few sandwiches short of a picnic that one there, eh?" Dino-Rang whispered to Prism Break.
"A bit." Prism Break admitted as the Rock Golem lowered its guard
"NOW!" Pinkie shouted as the trio threw the biggest explosion they could create and destroyed the golem.
"Yeowza...!" Sonata gasped at that.
"I LOVE MY JOB!" Boomer laughed.
"Whoa...!" Mikey yelped.
"Look." Flameslinger pointed out as the Eternal Earth Source appeared before them.
"Yep, that's the Eternal Earth Source." Prism Break confirmed.
"Grab it and let's go." Pinkie said as the group grabbed it before they went back to Diggs as they headed back to the ruins.
"Diggs, you ok?" Mikey asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Diggs answered as the Eternal Earth Source started floating before Master Eon appeared.
"You have brought the Eternal Earth Source, the eye within the eye, the very foundation of all Skylands." Master Eon informed as the Eternal Source went into the Crystal Eye while the outer shell of the pillar lowered, revealing some fancy ancient tech as the Crystal Eye then looked straight up into the sky, before the giant crystal underground fired an energy beam upward, which fired out of the Crystal Eye straight up the sky, shedding some light.
"Looks like the core is coming along nicely." Mikey smiled.
"I should talk to Gill Grunt." Sonata said.
"You sure?" Spyro asked.
"Yeah. It's fair that I should explain to him." Sonata confirmed as she walked up to Gill Grunt.
"One more step and I shoot." Gill Grunt threatened.
"Gill, I just want to talk." Sonata responded.
"Alright, but be quick." Gill Grunt scoffed.
"Not all pirates are evil, Gill. I know a bunch that are good-natured and fun loving who'd rather party hard or play the role of heroes." Sonata informed as Gill Grunt found that hard to believe. "Please, my friends and me might be pirates but we're on your side."
Gill Grunt scoffed as he walked away.
"I'm sorry." Spyro apologized.
"It's okay, I'm sure he'll come around." Sonata assured.
"I hope you're right. I really do." Spyro admitted as everyone didn't know that their next trip could take them to the seas.

Gill Grunt listened as Sonata taught his friends Bink's Brew.
"It's a great song." Sonata smiled.
"Wow, to think all that happened." Spyro awed before Master Eon appeared.
"What's wrong, Master E?" Mikey asked.
"Greetings, young friends. Your adventure now takes an unexpected twist to the Pirate Seas. Help the swashbuckling Jess LeGrand rescue her people from the loathsome Captain Dreadbeard and his vicious sea dog pirates. Adventure awaits, set sail to Plunder Island!" Master Eon explained as a ship showed up and stopped on the other dock with a ramp leading onto it.
"Alright, let's get going. Terrafin, you and Sonic Boom are coming with." Sonata said.
"Heh, sure thing." Terrafin chuckled.
"…I’m coming along too. I need to let off some steam." Gill Grunt admitted.
"Glad your willing to-" Sonata was about to said before Gill Grunt bumped into her.
"Your song is trash." Gill Grunt scoffed as Sonata kept quiet, knowing that it’ll take some time for him to change his opinion.
"Trig, we better go too so we can watch Gill Grunt." Spyro pointed out.
"Yeah." Trigger Happy agreed.
"Okay, everyone who's not going helps Hugo find the next piece of the Core!" Mikey said.
"Right, mate." Dino-Rang nodded as the group went onto the ship before setting sail.
As they sailed to their destination, Spyro spoke to Gill Grunt. "That was really uncalled for insulting her song, Gill."
"You believe that garbage of good-natured pirates?" Gill Grunt scoffed.
"It's a big universe, Gill. Anything is possible." Spyro pointed out.
"I'm not as easily trusting as you, Spyro." Gill Grunt said.
"If you knew who to trust, it wouldn't be trust." Spyro responded.
"Look alive, everyone! We're arriving!" Sonata called out as the ship soon stopped and docked as everyone got off.
"Thank you. Thank you guys for coming with me." Jess said in gratitude.
"No problem. Give us the situation report." Mikey replied.
"These pirates have invaded our town, and they’re making everyone play their stupid card game! But they cheat! And when you lose, they take you prisoner! They’ve captured everyone! Even my… my father! Please! I know Skylanders are truly great warriors. I’m sure you can defeat these pirates and save our town. I just hope we’re not too late!" Jess informed.
"Don't worry. We can handle it." Pinkie smiled as Sonata looked through some binoculars and spotted Shanks on the island.
"Huh?" Sonata gaped as she looked again and there wasn't anyone there. "Was that…?"
"Incoming red chompies!" Spyro shouted.
"Repel all boarders!" Mikey ordered.
"Nope, we gotta take the fight to them." Sonata pointed out.
"Who's up for a full frontal assault?!" Pinkie asked.
"I am!" Terrafin roared.
"Same here!" Gill Grunt added.
"Hold it! I don’t think force is gonna work the whole time here." Sonata said as Mikey looked through binoculars.
"There are multiple paths. If the three of us separate with teams, we may be able to strain their forces enough to drive them away." Mikey noticed.
"Okay. Terrafin and Stealth Elf will go with me. Gill Grunt, Sonic Boom, and Flameslinger will go with Mikey. Chop Chop, Trigger Happy, and Spyro will go with Pinkie." Sonata noted.
"Jess, is there a place we can meet up? A town square, a tavern... Someplace easy to find?" Pinkie asked.
"There is the mayor’s house, since that’s where my father lives." Jess answered.
"Okay. Everyone hit hard and fast. We meet up at The Mayor's House." Sonata declared.
"Got it." Mikey said as when the group landed, they made sure to cause enough noise.
"Skylanders! We're under attack! Sound the alarm!" A pirate called out as Seadog Skippers showed up, wielding cannons as more red chompies appeared with a Chompy Pod spawning them.
"Hey, it's that Gillman Skylander. Get the prisoner aboard!" Another pirate noticed.
"Gill." Sirena gasped.
"Get her to the ship!" The second pirate ordered as Sirena's tank was taken while she dropped the bracelet Gill Grunt gave to tell him she's close. Meanwhile, Sonata's team were hammering the pirates.
"Mirror Clones!" Sonata shouted as she made two mirror clones made of magic. "Tidal Slash!" Sonata and her two doubles roared as the triple attack knocked out a group of Seadog Skippers.
"It's feeding time!" Terrafin shouted, letting out his battle cry while throwing punches. He then growled as mini-sharks jumped out of the ground before burrowing back into it, then leapt out and latched onto a Seadog Skipper, biting the enemy. Stealth Elf jumped off her companion's shoulder and delivered a series of kicks. "Yeah, Dream Team!" Terrafin cheered as he offered a high-five to Stealth Elf, who high-fived her friend, having learned the Skylanders are the people she cares about. Suddenly, an explosion stunned the group and more enemies approached them.
"Last words?" A pirate chuckled before the next thing the trio saw was a mysterious swordsman cutting the enemies down with easy.
"Still needing me to save your hide, Sonnie." The swordsman said.
"Sonnie?" Sonata gasped.
"There's a ship docked not far from here. Take it." The swordsman informed as he pulled a compass out and gave it to Sonata before she realized who it was.
"SHANKS, WAIT!!!" Sonata called out as the man was already gone.
"Mistress, was that a Master-Level Foot Ninja?" Stealth Elf asked.
"No... Just a good friend." Sonata answered.
"Let's check that ship out he mentioned." Terrafin said as Stealth Elf noticed Sonata's state.
"Let's just scout it right now." Stealth Elf urged as Sonata agreed before the trio went off.
Meanwhile, Mikey's team were on a warpath on the pirates.
"Keep up the pressure, boys!" Mikey whooped before Sonic Boom cleared her throat. "Sorry, heat of the moment."
Gill found the bracelet and immediately recognized it before he growled in fury.
"Remember the plan, Gill. Get to the mayor's house and meet up with the others." Flameslinger reminded.
"...Fine." Gill Grunt snarled as the four soon found themselves in Shipwright's square before encountering a canine pirate with a trident right hand, and there was a encaged villager behind him.
"Let him go!" Mikey declared.
"The name's Fangs. You want this land lubber? Har-har-har. But I's a sporting type, I is. Tell ya what, if one of you can beat me at Pirate Cards, I'll let the landlubber go and leave this town. *Brings out an hourglass* Just try to match the cards before time runs out! But be warned, I've never lost with me Anchor Deck!" Fangs laughed as the hourglass was for 55 seconds as Fangs brought out 6 unknown cards.
"I'll handle this." Flameslinger volunteered.
"You sure?" Mikey asked.
"Of course. I know this game." Flameslinger assured as it didn't take long for him to win since there were two map cards, two sword cards and two schooner cards. "All without removing my blindfold."
"Argh, walk the plank, ye yellow-bellied landlubber! Me reputation is ruined!" Fangs growled before running off, leaving behind a key as he escaped.
"You okay?" Mikey checked while using the key to unlock the cage and opened it as the villager came out, revealed to be a shipwright/ship master.
"I am, thank you! I’ve never really been good at cards. I tried to get rid of these rotten pirates, but I ended up in here!" The shipwright said.
"Find shelter. We're already dealing with them." Mikey informed.
"Maybe you can rescue Mayor LeGrande... he's being held captive in the Mayor's estate at the top of the hill!" The shipwright added.
"That's the plan." Sonic Boom nodded as Mikey and his group kept moving forward.
With Pinkie's group, they were being as subtle as a freight train.
"Burning Bone Ball!" Pinkie shouted as she and her group were fighting against Seadog Pirates, Seadog Skippers, red chompies and Captain K9s.
"Dive, my loyal friend! Dive!" Chop Chop while riding Spyro as the dragon swooped down with the skeleton cutting down his enemies.
"Spyro, drop the Trigger Bomb!" Pinkie ordered as Trigger Happy was held by Spyro like a bomb.
"Bombs away!" Spyro roared before dropping Trigger Happy into free fall as he fired the enemies.
"Keep up the carnage! We're reaching the mayor's house!" Pinkie informed while whacking enemies with her flail as the four kept charging forward before encountering a pirate with the mayor, encaged behind him. "Let him go!"
"I'm Bandit. Come for the Mayor, have ye? Me crew and I are the best at cards, but you can try ye luck if ye wish. If I win, you and yer friends have to stay in this cage forever. And if ye win... well hehe, that ain't gonna happen. No one can beat me Cannon Deck! Har har har!" Bandit laughed as he brought out an hourglass with enough sand for a minute before he dealt out 9 unknown cards.
"Easy." Pinkie smirked as she flipped the top right and middle right cards, getting green cards with black-bearded pirates on them as the hourglass suddenly got eight more seconds. It wasn't hard for Pinkie to win the game since she got the middle left and bottom left, getting a map and a skull wearing a jester’s hat as the top left card flipped by itself, revealing a map. The other cards were two cannons and two hats. "Game, set... Match!"
"Arrrrrgh! You musta been cheatin! Wish I’d thoughtta that. No matter! I got what I came fer. So long, lubber!" Bandit growled as he ran off, leaving a key behind.
"Talk about a sore loser." Pinkie scoffed.
"You okay, sir?" Spyro asked while Pinkie unlocked the cage with the key as Mayor LeGrand got out.
"Oh, yes I am, and thank you for saving me! I’ve been in that cage for days! But that’s not the worst of it! Those nasty pirates have stolen all our town treasure! They’re going to load it onto their ship and take it to their island fortress! You must stop them!" Mayor LeGrand requested as Mikey’s group showed up, having gotten Terrafin’s Soul Gem on the way here.
"All the ships are destroyed. We can't follow them." Mikey groaned.
"Look!" Trigger Happy called out as a ship with the Skylander's Jolly Roger came into view.
"Hey guys, say hello to my new ship!" Sonata smiled.
"And there’s still some left packing the treasure on their Captain’s ship." Spyro pointed out while in the air.
"That’s right, but first you’ve got to get past the pirate guarding the drawbridge!" Mayor LeGrand confirmed.
"Leave that to us! Just get to us as fast as you can and don't get hit! MAN THE CANNONS!" Sonata shouted.
"Wait! I don’t think that’ll work!" Pinkie responded.
"I’m afraid she’s right. The drawbridge is completely cannonball-proof." Mayor LeGrand nodded.
"Maybe there's a key." Mikey noted.
"There is! It's not far from where you are!" A female voice informed.
"Sirena!" Gill Grunt gasped as he saw his mermaid girlfriend.
"Don't worry, we managed to free her." Sonata assured.
"Let's get the key!" Pinkie urged as the group moved downhill and encountered a pirate guarding the drawbridge.
"Keep away from my Griffon Love!" Terrafin growled as he fired the cannon and the pirates were propelled away. But there was one pirate left, and it didn't look like he could be forced to move away from the bridge as Terrafin prepared to fire again. "Fire Stealth Elf!"
"Hold on, let me handle this guy. Lower the drawbridge, now!" Sonata ordered.
"Chance be me name, and ye be too late matey! We be making off with the treasure. But fair is fair... if you can beat me Pirate Curse Deck, I'll allow ye and yer friends to pass." Chance offered before bringing out an hourglass with enough sand for a minute and 20 seconds as he dealt out 12 unknown cards.
"Please, I've played this before." Sonata smirked as she flipped the top left card and the top middle-right card, getting two Booty cards. Then she flipped the center middle-right and the right card, getting a two green cards with two-bearded pirate as ten more seconds were added to the hourglass. Sonata flipped the bottom left and the top middle-left cards, getting two Compass cards as she flipped the two bottom middle cards, getting two Ghost Ship cards. There were four cards left as she flipped the center middle-left card and the bottom right cards, getting two Hat cards as the remaining two cards flipped on their own, revealing the two Pirate Curse Cards as Sonata won, being glad she didn't get those two cards. "Winner, me."
"ARGH! Hoist the black flag, I'm settin' sail!" Chance growled before he left behind a key as he ran off, escaping.
"Okay, people! We got pirates to chase! All hands on deck!" Sonata ordered.
"Wait, how about your ship sneaks up on the captain's ship from behind with half of the us, and the other half gets to him on foot?" Pinkie planned.
"Could work. Alright, but I saw their island fortress. If we can't get them here, we won't be able to sneak around there." Sonata noted.
"I'm sure we'll find another way if that happens." Mikey assured.
"Just try!" Sonata said.
"If that's okay, I'll be going with Gill here." Sirena volunteered.
"Uh, this is dangerous Skylander work. Maybe you could wait with us where it's safe." Sonata pointed out.
"She does have a point." Stealth Elf agreed.
"But I can't be on the sidelines the whole time, I want to actually help my friends and those I care about." Sirena urged.
"Sorry, civilian safety is top priority." Terrafin apologize.
"I can't just do nothing!" Sirena said.
"Majority vote." Sonata responded.
"KEEP HER SAFE!" Gill Grunt shouted as he went with Mikey as the turtle's party charged through to get to the captain.
"Batter up!" Mikey quipped as he swung his hammer with the attack decimating a Chompy Pod along with some red chompies. Gill Grunt kept firing on a warpath as his harpoons managed to hit some Seadog Skippers.
"FREEDOM! FREEDOM!" Trigger Happy laughed while shooting as his coin bullets hit the enemies. There were two bridges, one that was the quickest way was broken, and the other was blocked by a stone gate, which is guarded by a sole pirate that looked like he couldn't be forced.
"Why don't ya lower the gate?" Mikey said.
"It's Woof, and yer doom be at hand, ye salty swab! No one gets past this gate unless ye can beat Mermaid Deck! Har-har-har..." Woof laughed before bringing out an hourglass with enough time for one and a half minutes as he dealt 15 unknown cards. Mikey beat the game easily with a smirk as there were two Schooner Cards, two Ghost Ship Cards, one Wild Card, two Blackbeard Cards, two Pirate Curse Cards, which Mikey managed to avoid having both flipped at once, two green cards of a no-bearded skull with a red durag and a black eyepatch, giving 12 more seconds to the hourglass, two blue cards with Eye machines one them, which briefly revealed the cards for a second, and two Sword Cards. "Checkmate!"
"Gangway, ye scurvy-infested blowfish!" Woof urged before running off, escaping as the gate lowered, revealing a Chompy Pod ahead.
"Time for Tornado Blast!" Mikey quipped while grabbing Gill and Trigger.
"Huh?" Gill Grunt asked in confusion.
"I spin, you two shoot." Mikey explained as Trigger laughed in excitement at that. Mikey spun as the duo fired at their enemies.
"I love this!" Trigger Happy whooped while Gill Grunt said nothing as he blasted his Power Hose. Mikey stopped when the enemies were defeated.
"Okay, boys. Let's get going!" Mikey urged as the group advanced before encountering a pirate guarding another raised gate.
"Move!" Gill Grunt growled.
"I be Doggerts, and ye will never get to Captain Dreadbeard! Never says I! Well, unless ye get past me Lookout Deck! Then I’ll let ye and yer friends go." Doggerts dared before bringing out an hourglass with enough sand for one minute and 45 seconds as he dealt out 18 unknown cards. Mikey got it done easily as there were two green cards with Jess LeGrand on them that added 14 more seconds to the hourglass, two Sword Cards, two Map Cards, two Booty Cards, two Pirate Curse Cards, which Mikey avoided, two Schooner Cards, two Twobeard Cards, two Compass Cards, and two Peekyboo Cards, showing Mikey a quick glimpse of the cards.
"Done." Mikey smirked.
"You'll meet the rope's end for that, ye scallywag!" Doggerts snarled before fleeing in escape as the gate lowered, revealing Chompy Pods, Seadog Pirates and Skippers up ahead.
"We don't have time for this! Stone Wave!" Mikey shouted as the attack knocked away the Seadogs and uprooted the Chompy Pods. "Let's get to the others and fast!" Mikey said while running before the winds suddenly grew harsh. "Is this a tornado?"
"No, it's Warnado." Gill Grunt realized as a small tornado appeared before it faded, revealing a small blue turtle.
"I feel conflicted in this situation." Mikey admitted.
"Don't let Warnado's appearance fool you." Gill Grunt warned as Warnado threw a tornado at the trio.
"Yikes!" Mikey yelped as the trio scattered.
"Keep him off balance. He can't hit us all at once." Gill Grunt said as the three charged at him from all three sides, but Warnado tucked into his shell and spun rapidly, knocking the trio back. "Oh right, forgot that spin attack is one of his basic moves."
Warnado popped his head and limbs out of his shell, not dizzy in the slightest.
"Guys, attack him and get him into his shell. I have an idea to snap him back into his senses." Mikey noted.
"Heehee! Okay!" Trigger Happy snickered.
"I hope you know what you're doin'." Gill Grunt said as he and Trigger Happy managed to get Warnado into his shell. When he came out, Mikey whacked him with his hammer.
Warnado spun around and hit walls, snapping him out of his trance. "Guh... why do I feel like I was standing still?"
"No time. Pirates attacking, need reinforcement. You in?" Mikey offered.
"Got it-Whoa... Better get moving fast." Warnado groaned dizzily.
"Forgot about that. Standing still can make Warnado dizzy." Gill Grunt realized with a facepalm as the group soon arrived at Sonata's new ship. "Sirena..."
Siren slapped Gill Grunt hard. "You owe Sonata an apology even if she's a pirate!" Sirena scolded as Gill Grunt got silent at that, but it was in shock before Mikey, Trigger Happy and Warnado got off and encountered Dreadbeard.
"Found ya! Now get outta here!" Mikey ordered.
"Yo ho! Ye want me to leave, eh? Harrrrr-harrrrr. Well, I have been achin' to play me a good card game. If ye can beat me at Pirate Cards, I'll leave ye be. But I have the best deck of all, me Skull Deck!" Dreadbeard laughed before bringing out an hourglass with enough sand for 2 minutes as he dealt 21 unknown cards. Mikey beat him with ease as there were two Twobeard Cards, two Map Cards, two Hat Cards, two Nobeard Cards, two Schooner Cards, two Cannon Cards, two Peekyboo Cards, a Wild Card, which didn't help Mikey much as he flipped a Pirate Curse Card after flipping the Wild Card, getting the other Pirate Curse Card as the remaining cards were switched all over the place, two Sword Cards and two Booty Cards as Mikey won.
"I'll be on my way." Mikey quipped.
"Shiver me whiskers! I said I'd leave if ye beat me, but I didn't say I'd leave empty-handed! Not only did I steal all the town's treasure, but I got a special prize from the Mayor to boot! HAR HAR HAR!" Dreadbeard boasted while getting onto his ship as the trio saw Jess trapped in a cage.
"HELP!! They have me!" Jess cried out with Dreadbeard laughing as he and his ship sailed away, escaping with the treasure and captive.
"Jess! ALL HANDS, MAN YOUR STATIONS! AFTER THAT SHIP!" Sonata ordered.
"Wait! We might need backup!" Pinkie pointed out.
"Yeah, we gotta find the shipwright and let the Mayor know about this." Mikey agreed.
"Good point! Spyro, take to the sky and follow them!" Sonata said.
"Got it!" Spyro responded before taking off in flight as the others raced back to the mayor.
Later, the shipwright were working on the two ships as the group explained what happened to the Mayor. "Jess? My daughter? Captured? Oh no! Those pirates are a dangerous lot! We must save her! Where could they have taken her?"
"I found a map to their fortress. It's not far." Sonata noted.
"Sonata's right, they hide out at Plunder Island. I'll take all of you there! The new cannons are installed and ready to shoot some pirate booty! Let's get moving!" The shipwright confirmed as soon, everyone was sailing to Plunder Island.
"So, what are you going to name your ship?" Mikey asked.
"Sky Savior." Sonata answered.
"Nice!" Pinkie smiled.
"There it is! Plunder Island straight ahead!" The shipwright called out before the two ships dodged a cannonball as they saw a cannon at the top of the fortress. "We'll have to keep moving to avoid cannon fire from the main fortress! Some of us can help man the side guns, let us know when you want us to fire! Once all the towers and ships are destroyed, we can dock at that pier, then we'll invade the main fortress!"
Spyro landed aboard the Sky Savior. "Guys, we got enemies in coming!"
Many pirates grabbed room and swung aboard. "PREPARE TO REPEAL ALL BOARDERS!" Sonata ordered with everyone fighting as the pirates boarded their ship.
"Hey Terrafin, you take the plunge?" Pinkie asked while fighting.
"Sonata, marry me and Sonic Boom!" Terrafin requested.
"What?! Right now?!" Sonata asked in shock while fighting pirates.
"Do it!" Sonic Boom urged while fighting as Sonata couldn't believe the situation she was in, but decided to do it anyway.
"Dearly beloveds, we are gathered here to day to join Terrafin of the Earth Element with Sonic Boom of the Air Element in Holy Matrimony!" Sonata announced as she jumped onto the guard railing and was fighting pirates.
"Do you, Sonic Boom, take me as your lawfully wedded husband. In sickness and in health, till death do us part?" Terrafin asked while tango fighting with Sonic Boom.
"I do!" Sonic Boom answered while the other Skylanders fought the pirates and watching the ceremony as she was tango fighting with Terrafin. "And do you, Terrafin, take me as your lawfully wedded wife. In sickness and in health, till death do us part?"
"I do!" Terrafin confirmed.
"Sonata!" Terrafin and Sonic Boom called out.
"By the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss the-*Dodges attack* Whoa! You may ki-*Dodges another attack* Yikes! JUST KISS!!!" Sonata shouted as the newly weds kissed happily in the middle of the carnage.
"That's the last one!" Flameslinger said as he nailed the last pirate.
"Agreed, now let's take care of the ships and towers!" Stealth Elf added.
"Mikey, move us into firing position! Pinkie, check down below for more a cannon balls!" Sonata ordered.
"Got it!" Mikey responded.
"Okie-dokie-lokie!" Pinkie smiled while everyone scrambled to dealing damage to the fortress as more cannons on the main fortress appeared, firing more cannonballs.
"Keep firing, but check your fire! Try not to hit Jess!" Sonata said.
"Don't worry, Jess is at the main fortress." Spyro assured as the ships keep firing until the walls were nothing but rubble
"Okay people, let's take the fight to them!" Sonata said as she combined blades.
"Actually... Two of us should head in there." Gill Grunt suggested.
"How come?" Sonata asked.
"Think about it, there could only be Dreadbeard and Jess in that fortress." Gill Grunt explained.
"Yeah, I guess you have a point. Okay, you take Stealth Elf and land. Rest of us will stay and provide support." Sonata admitted.
"Understood." Stealth Elf nodded as she and Gill Grunt got to the fortress and watched for trouble. The two Skylanders soon got to the other end of the fortress and onto a hill, finding Dreadbeard and an encaged Jess.
"Let her go." Gill Grunt ordered.
"You and yer friends beat me once, ye hornswoggle, but now ye toughest challenge lies dead ahead. If ye want her back... you'll need to beat me Poop Deck!" Dreadbeard challenged.
"Goodnight everybody!" Sonata quipped from a distance while Dreadbeard brought out an hourglass with enough time for 2 minutes and 10 seconds as he dealt out 24 unknown cards. Stealth Elf beat Deardbeard easily as there were two Compass Cards, two blue cards with an hourglass known as Sand of Time, which added 30 seconds to the hourglass, two Sword Cards, two Shebeard Cards, two Wild Cards, two Schooner Cards, two Map Cards, two Peekyboo Cards, two blue cards with Master Eon a Navy Captain’s hat, which helped Stealth Elf as that removed the two Pirate Curse Cards, two Hat Cards and two Cannon Cards.
"Winner." Stealth Elf scoffed.
"All right, you and yer friends are Legends indeed. Take the lass, but you haven’t heard the last of Captain Dreadbeard!" Dreadbeard vowed as he ran off and dove into the ocean, escaping while he left behind a key, which Stealth Elf used to unlock Jess' cage.
"Let's get you home." Stealth Elf said.
"Oh I just knew it! You and all of your friends are amazing! Our town is grateful to all of you… and so am I." Jess smiled in gratitude as everyone when back to the town before the Goofball Trio and Skylanders headed back. As the Skylanders headed back to the core, Pinkie came out of the haul with an eye patch, a hat, and several bottles in her hands.
"Ahoy, mateys! I Shanghaied us some hardy Sake!" Pinkie growled as most of the group stifled their snickers.
"Pinkie, that's stereotyping right there." Sonata pointed out as Pinkie opened a bottle but found it empty.
"Arrgh, irony be a harsh mistress." Pinkie groaned as no one knew that while she was in the haul, a special egg fell into Pinkie's hair. Later, Sonata was training when Gill Grunt walked up to her with Sirena.
"You owe something to Sonata." Sirena said as Gill Grunt sighed at that.
"I'm sorry." Gill Grunt apologized as Sonata heard and briefly paused at that. "I'm sorry for everything I said. There really are good pirates." Gill Grunt explained while Sonata kept training as she heard that. "And I'm sorry for insulting your song." Gill Grunt added as Sonata then stopped. "I'm sorry for everything."
"It's okay. You have every right to be mad." Sonata said, leaving Gill Grunt surprised. "We have more important things to worry about then old grudges and regrets."
"Thanks." Gill Grunt responded in gratitude.
"Thanks again for the rescue, Sonata." Sirena smiled.
"No problem, Sirena." Sonata replied.
"But this isn't the only reason I'm here." Sirena added.
"How come?" Gill Grunt asked.
"I want to help you and the others. I can't just stand by while all of you are risking your lives!" Sirena explained.
"Absolutely not... Until you can train for it." Gill Grunt denied, making Sirena pout with her cheeks puffed as Sonata giggled at the watery couple.

Next Time on Equestria Ninja Girls...
Treetop Terrace
Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
Sonata and Stealth Elf were training at the Core Ruins.
"You're getting better at channeling your elemental energy, Mistress." Stealth Elf noticed.
"Thanks. I've been getting the hang of it." Sonata responded as Pinkie was training too, but her leftover elemental energy were going into her hair which had the egg in it. Flameslinger and Chop Chop saw this.
"Pinkie?" Chop Chop called out.
"Yeah?" Pinkie asked.
"What's going on with your hair?" Chop Chop pointed out.
"Huh?" Pinkie said in confusion.
"It’s glowing." Flameslinger informed as Chop Chop dug in there and pulled out a red, rubber boot.
"No." Chop Chop shook his head as he pulled out then a bike horn. "No."
Chop Chop dug in deep and pulled out a glowing egg soaking up Pinkie's energy.
"How’d you have that stuff in there?" Flameslinger asked.
"Don’t ask." Mikey and Sonata advised as Pinkie took the egg and it soaked up more of her energy.
"I think I'll keep this egg." Pinkie said.
"Why?" Flameslinger questioned.
"It just feels right." Pinkie answered when a tree creature suddenly came out of the ground.
"Aahhhh! Sunlight feels so good on my leaves! And the water! So delicious! And the earth is just right. Thank you for reviving me! I am Arbo! Son of Barbo! Child of Larbo! Spawn of-" The creature tried to introduce before Hugo yelped.
"It talks! It talks! *Stammers* Where are my manners? I am Hugo and these are Skylanders. Master Eon had vanished, but… we have NEW allies now." Hugo explained.
"Can you help us?" Mikey asked.
"I’m not sure. I’m only 8 seconds old after all, but somehow I seem to have memories of all this happening before. We need to recover the Eternal Life Source, but in order to find it we must first gather the Seeds of Life and plant them so their roots can point the way." Arbo informed.
"That’s correct! How did you know that?" Hugo asked.
"I can do something… like this!" Arbo said as he suddenly summon something, and it was a GIANT beanstalk! "…and I don’t even know how I’m doing it! It’s like a memory."
"Hugo, where does that lead to?" Pinkie asked while putting the egg back into her hair.
"It looks like it leads to Treetop Terrace!" Hugo explained.
"Is that what you people call it? We green folk know it as the Tree of Life. That is where you will find the Life Seeds. I know the way. I think I have ALWAYS known the way. I can take you there if you wish." Arbo offered.
"I'm going. I need a workout." Dino-Rang volunteered.
"Same here." Wham-Shell added.
"Me, too." Warnado said.
"Coming along as well." Voodoo added.
"I shall be accompanying in this journey." Drobot finished.
"Good. Everyone else, stay behind and stay alert." Mikey said.
"Follow me, and if you look down, you could see everything!" Arbo responded as everyone was worried about falling. The group followed Arbo as the leaf carrying them on the beanstalk spiraled higher, and higher, and higher into the sky.
"Ah… Now going up while spinning is great." Warnado sighed in relaxation as Pinkie kept her eyes on her hair, making sure her egg was safe. Soon, the group reached Treetop Terrace and couldn’t help but be awed by the natural beauty of the forest.
"This feels like my territory." Mikey noted.
"It feels good to be in the Tree of Life. I can tell these things. But what happened to the Life Seeds? They are the children of the great trees." Arbo wondered.
"Looks like Kaos' forces are here." Sonata noticed.
"The trees tell me the pointy ears are keeping the seeds for themselves! This is not Nature’s wish. We must get the Life Seeds in order to find the Eternal Life Source!" Arbo informed.
"Then let's get going." Warnado added as the group moved forward before encountering a Corn Hornet.
"It's just an oversized bee." Sonata said before the Corn Hornet hit her with its poison stinger, stunning the siren.
"Mistress!" Stealth Elf gasped.
"I'm fine. Let's just swat it!" Sonata assured as she was only paralyzed for a few seconds before Mikey crushed the Corn Hornet with his hammer.
"Looks like we got trouble up ahead." Flameslinger noticed as there was a log tied to rope was blocking the way and a wench connected to where it was shown.
"That's not too much trouble." Pinkie said before small bulbous plants grew big when she passed by close to them. "What's this?"
"Nothing, just a minor annoyance." Wham-Shell shrugged off.
"But they will harmlessly bounce you back if you touch them." Stealth Elf informed as everyone moved well and got through until Drows came out of nowhere,
"Warnado, how about we play Twister Pinball!" Mikey smirked while among the enemies was a Blade Witch. Everyone got to safety as Warnado tucked into his shell. "Incoming!" Mikey called out as he whacked Warnado and he started hitting the Drows like a pinball crossed with a tornado. "Sling, pick up the stragglers."
"Understood." Flameslinger nodded as he nailed the remaining enemies. Everyone saw more energy going into Pinkie's egg.
"What?" Pinkie asked.
"Scans detect egg is absorbing Fire and Undead energy. Hatching Rate Timeframe: Soon." Drobot estimated.
"What?!" Pinkie gasped.
"Any clue what kind of egg it is?" Mikey asked as Drobot shook his head no.
"Let's worry about it later. Move!" Pinkie urged as the group continued, only to encounter two Drows and a Life Spell Punk, who healed the two.
"Life Spell Punk? What does it do?" Mikey noticed as Sonata attacked a Drow before the Life Spell Punk healed it.
"Question asked, question answered." Pinkie quipped.
"Stone Wave!" Mikey shouted as he took out the enemies, but his attack was a lot stronger than before. "Looks like my upgrade did the trick."
"Come on! We got to get those seeds." Dino-Rang urged as the group saw barrels rolling down a ramp with a closed gate behind them connected to a wench.
"Everyone, get behind me!" Chop Chop said while bringing out his shield, protecting everyone as his shield protected his friends. Sonata used the wench to open the gate as everyone soon made it past it, encountering Drows and a blade witch while Chop Chop's energy went into the egg before Pinkie noticed a scroll.
"What’s this?" Pinkie wondered as she picked up the scroll and opened it. "Huh?! A Chompy invented balloons in Skylands?!"
"Duh, everyone knows that." Wham-Shell responded as all enemies in the area were defeated.
"Despite Drows having claimed they did that. But Professor P. Grungally cleared that out." Stealth Elf explained.
"But the Chompy drank 200 fizzy juice flasks, making him 20 times bigger!" Pinkie added as her hair started to shake. "Huh?"
"Teleporter pad located." Drobot informed.
"You go on... I'll catch up." Pinkie said as the rest of the group went onto the teleporter, only to find themselves inside the hollow of a tree.
"Wow, this is impressive." Mikey noted.
"Very much so." Stealth Elf agreed.
"Nowhere to go but up." Sonata added before the group encountered a Blitzer Bully with a Life Spell Punk on its back as they saw a winch. "Warnado, Dino-Rang... Let's make a Boomerang Hurricane!" Sonata declared as Warnado spun a huge tornado that Dino-Rang threw his weapons into. "Tidal Slash!" Sonata shouted, adding her attack as the Boomerang Hurricane combo-attacl beat all the enemies and unintentionally propelled everyone up to the exit. "That was a happy accident."
"Could not have predicted that outcome." Drobot admitted.
"Let's get whatever treasure and get back to Pinkie." Mikey said before Pinkie popped up.
"Actually, we’re supposed to be going that way." Pinkie pointed out.
"Pinkie, why'd did you hang back?" Mikey asked as Pinkie held in her arms a baby Griffin but it was different from Sonic Boom. His entire body was colored fire orange and yellow and his forelimbs had absolutely no skin, just pure bones.
"You can see why, right?" Pinkie responded.
"It hatched!" Mikey noticed.
"Oh, Gemma is going to be so happy about this!" Sonata squeaked in excitement.
"I named him 'Inferno.'" Pinkie said.
"Friend hangs back. We fight." Voodood advised.
"Ya sure?" Pinkie asked before everyone else nodded as Inferno started to open his eyes.
"Heehee! Sonic Boom will have a cuteness overload from this." Sonata giggled.
"Attention requiring to battlefield." Drobot called out while fighting. Everyone forged ahead as Pinkie hanged back with her Baby Griffon. Voodood soon found Gill Grunt’s soul gem as the group kept moving forward before encountering a winch connected to a log lift on the other side.
"This almost too easy!" Stealth Elf smirked, but past the winch were spear spike floor traps.
"Incoming." Mikey said as he instinctively slammed his hammer down and a vine bridge emerged, somehow getting past the lift and gate as the group crossed it, only to encounter blade witches and corn hornets.
"Blink and Destroy!" Drobot roared with his battle cry as he attacked with his upgraded eye blasters and bladegears.
"There are the seeds!" Mikey pointed out before out of nowhere, something nailed the ground. There was something guarding the seeds, and took them farther as the group beat a Blitzer Bully and Life Spell Punk before they solved a laser puzzle and moved, encountering Blade Witches, Drows, Blizter Bullies, Life Spell Punks, Corn Hornets and a wingless earth dragon.
"Bash, snap out of it buddy!" Wham-Shell called out, but the dragon said nothing as it started rolling towards the group when Mikey, Wham-Shell, and Stealth Elf were sealed off from the others. Mikey, Wham-Shell and Stealth Elf were against Bash as the others fought the rest of the enemies before the trio hit Bash but none of their attacks even phased him.
"Nothing's working!" Mikey dreaded.
"We gotta stop him from rolling!" Wham-Shell said
"Easier said than done!" Stealth Elf pointed out before Mikey saw Bash like a wheel tire.
"Hit him on the sides!" Mikey ordered.
"How?!" Wham-Shell asked, pointing out how to draw Bash in.
"Say something to make him mad." Mikey answered.
"Okay. Hey Bash! Whirlwind’s dating Zap!" Wham-Shell called out as Bash redirected his roll to him, which gave Mikey his opening.
"Gotcha!" Mikey smirked as he bonked Bash, causing the dragon to roll around like a runaway tire.
"Okay, that hurt." Bash groaned.
"You alright, dude?" Mikey asked.
"Just give me a minute." Bash responded.
"Sure, ‘cause me, Stealth and Wham gotta help the others." Mikey said.
"No need. We got the seeds." Sonata assured as the enemies were beaten before Arbo showed up with joyous laughter.
"You’ve done it, Great-Legends-of-Skylands-Come-To-Life! You have found Life Seeds and nature rejoices! We shall spread their happiness to the Core of Light and watch them grow!" Arbo cheered while Inferno laughed in Pinkie's arms as she tickled him.
"Oh, you ticklish? You like it?" Pinkie smiled.
"Let's get back to the core so Sonic Boom can check your new son." Stealth Elf said.
"Wait-what?" Pinkie asked.
"Don't you want him? He absorbed your elemental energy." Stealth Elf responded.
"Of course I want him!" Pinkie answered.
"So let's see if he's healthy." Stealth Elf nodded as a little while later, everyone arrived back at the Core. Later, the seeds were plants as bushes soon grew.
"Almost there..." Sonata said while Sonic Boom was looking over Inferno as the Seeds sprouted. But then sheep showed up and started nibbling on them.
"Shoo shoo shoo land creatures! Have you no respect for the sacred life seeds?" Arbo gasped.
"See! I’ve been saying those sheep are evil. Evil I tell you!" Hugo growled.
"The seeds we brought back have grown into these wonderful apple bushes. Shoo!!! But these sheep are eating all the apples! Could you please keep the sheep away long enough for the apples to grow? Then the roots will be strong enough to speak to me." Arbo requested.
"Sure." Mikey responded before he and the others calmly redirected the sheep to better eating spots as Sonic Boom gave Pinkie her medical opinion.
"I can honestly say Inferno is perfectly healthy." Sonic Boom confirmed.
"Really? What about the front legs?" Pinkie asked as Inferno was moving and using them perfectly fine.
"As far as I can tell, his Undead Element Energy is making them perfectly fine." Sonic Boom assured.
"Oh, phew! But wow! My baby sis is gonna be so excited!" Pinkie smiled as the seeds soon sprouted perfectly.
"Hahaha! Splendid! The Eternal Life Source is hidden inside a giant ACORN within the Tree of Life. I know where to find it because the seeds tell me things." Arbo informed.
Meanwhile, in Kaos' Kastle, he heard what Arbo said. "An acorn? I knew it! Cursed miserable deceitful trees! They're hiding my acorn!"
"You have acorns?" Glumshanks asked.
"Nonsense, you fool! It's simple! The Eternal Life Source is actually a giant acorn! See? And it's being hidden in a filthy forest, by a band of despicable bark-covered betrayers, who are obviously out to get me!" Kaos growled.
"The trees?" Glumshanks checked.
"Of course the trees! What do you think I'm talking about? Ooh, how I hate them! Standing there all day, looking so innocent, soaking up sunlight, plotting and scheming, just waiting to meddle in my plans! Well, not this time Glumshanks. NOT. THIS. TIME! Call out my lumberjack trolls!" Kaos ordered.
"For what? To cut down a few trees?" Glumshanks shrugged.
"No, not a few trees, you nerb. Cut them all down! I want that acorn!" Kaos declared.

Next Time on Equestria Ninja Girls...
Falling Forest
Not gonna lie here, a friend of mine needs help. Darth Wrex needs emotional help.
Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
Pinkie was feeding Inferno as everyone else trained.
"Whoa. I feel strange now." Arbo noticed.
"What's... AHHH!" Mikey yelled out in pain while gripping his head, sensing something wrong as Stealth Elf sensed it as well.
"The forest is in danger. We should go quickly. Are you ready to go quickly now?" Arbo asked.
"Ferny, be good for Sonic Boom. Momma needs to step out for a minute." Pinkie said to the baby griffon before giving a kiss to Inferno as she and her friends headed out.
"There is no time to lose." Arbo urged while Spyro, Gill Grunt, Trigger Happy, Bash and Lightning Rod came along with the Goofball Trio, Chop Chop, Stealth Elf and Flameslinger as the team were spiraled up the beanstalk with Arbo before they soon arrived at Treetop Terrace, now know as the Falling Forest because of what’s happening thanks to the Lumberjack trolls.
"Kaos." Stealth Elf growled.
"That must be what I sensed earlier." Mikey noticed.
"Those terrible trolls are attacking the Great Ancients with TEETH-MACHINES! Oh, this is the most horrible feeling I have ever had in my brief existence so far. We must stop them from cutting anymore down, OR discovering the Eternal Life Source!" Arbo informed.
"Demolition work... Right in our wheel house." Pinkie laughed.
"Hack and smash, people!" Sonata shouted as the group moved forward, fighting trolls before encountering a troll driving a giant chainsaw machine. Mikey got his hammer ready as Bash wrapped around it.
"Dino Bowling Ball!" Mikey shouted as he launched Bash and the earth dragon smashed into the machine, creating a bridge.
"Oh, yeah! Gotta love wrecking Kaos' toys!" Spyro smiled.
"Heehee! Pretty fragile toys if ya ask me." Pinkie giggled.
"Indeed, my friend. But enjoyable none the less." Lightning Rod agreed as suddenly, Trolls came charging.
"Okay, let's fight!" Gill Grunt said as there was a troll ambush too while the group fought and beat them. They moved forward, only to find spinning saw blades and a bounce pad which Stealth Elf used to get over the blades and found her Soul Gem.
"Stealth, what did you find?!" Sonata asked as Stealth Elf jumped down while the others kept dodging the blades.
"My Sylvan Regeneration Soul Gem ability." Stealth Elf answered.
"Good. I'll pay for that when we get back." Sonata said.
"You are much too kind, Mistress." Stealth Elf responded.
"Ladies, come on we got chainsaws to wrecks!" Mikey pointed out while fighting as the group got past the spinning chainsaw traps and soon encountered more trolls and another chainsaw vehicle.
"Gill, fire your anchor. I'll give it a boost with my Tidal Slash." Sonata said, surprising Gill Grunt at first, but smirked as he charged his harpoon gun before the harpoon transformed into an anchor. Gill Grunt fired it and Sonata launched her attack behind it. "Tidal Slash!" Sonata shouted as the combined attack wrecked the machine's engines and sent the troll flying as the vehicle made another bridge. "I hope Kaos has insurance."
The group went ahead, seeing more trolls, sawblade traps and another sawblade vehicle.
"Burning Bone Ball!" Pinkie roared as Lightning Rod threw a big bolt, with the combined attacked causing an explosion, destroying the chainsaw. "How many of these things are there?"
"Looks like it was the last one, 'cause I see a giant acorn up ahead." Spyro noticed.
"That's got to be the Life Element! Grab it so we can leave!" Mikey said.
"Anyone notice the lack security here?" Pinkie asked as the group went onto the Great Stump before the giant acorn started spinning faster and faster!
"This is just like with Gill and the others." Spyro remembered as the acorn split in two, revealing the Eternal Life Source.
"Sweet, an easy mission." Mikey smirked as the Skylanders facepalmed at that before a familiar head appeared.
"You three again, foolish Portal Master Imposters…… WAIT, 'Portal-Posters.' Yes, I like the sound of that… BUT you and your Skylanders are still doomed. DOOMED I TELL YOU. You three will never possess the Eternal Life Source. NEVER!!!" Kaos declared.
"What an idiot." Mikey sighed.
"You face my powerful, evil LIFE minion. NOW, I will laugh while it both POWERFULLY and EVILLY ends you three and your Skylosers! Mwahahhahahahhahahhahaa! Go on, get on with it." Kaos said as a bambazooker suddenly appeared, ready to aim and fire at the group.
"Zook!" Stealth Elf gasped.
"Please tell me that bazooka isn't as strong as a normal one." Sonata dreaded.
"'Fraid that's not the case." Trigger Happy responded.
"SCATTER!" Sonata shouted before Zook fired a bazooka shell as the group dodged before it exploded into shrapnel, with the shards hitting the group.
"Mikey, you and Bash attack him, the rest of us will play diversion." Sonata said.
"Got it!" Mikey nodded while everyone else kept distracting Zook long enough for the turtle and earth dragon to attack from behind. "Incoming!" Mikey shouted as the duo hit Zoom hard, only to find out they only hit mushrooms, which shielded Zook.
"What?! They were supposed to be bamboo, not mushrooms!" Stealth Elf gasped.
"Hehehe, I may have upgraded my minions from last time." Kaos snickered as everyone kept attacking from all sides but nothing got through until Mikey saw the only opening.
"Spyro..." Mikey said as he pointed up which Spyro knew what to do. Spyro flew above before breathing out three fireballs at the mushrooms, with the middle one exploding, wiping out the mushrooms. Mikey rushed forward and slammed his hammer into Zook. "Sorry, Zook." Mikey apologized as his hammer was upgraded back at the Core of Light, looking like the heavy end was made of stone and the light end being made of vines. The strengthened attack knocked Zook out cold before he vanished.
"OKAY! Forget the Life Minion! ALL of YOU won't beat this. BECAUSE, I, KAOS, SUMMON MY 'UNBEATABLE DEADLY LIFE SPELL OF DEATH!!!'" Kaos shouted.
"Anyone else thinks that name is a contradiction?" Mikey asked as Kaos used the Eternal Life Source for the spell as vines crept and surrounded the stump before red insects appeared in a line. Mikey whacked one, making it explode before the rest of the insects in the line exploded after it.
"That was pathetic." Pinkie scoffed before more red insects appeared, having life energy balls. Some with in lines behind them, some of the insects formed circles surrounding the group with the energy balls. But when the insects were beaten, the energy balls vanished.
"This is just sad." Sonata deadpanned.
"So you can dodge a few things you can see. BIG DEAL! What about things you DON'T EXPECT!!!" Kaos declared as a dragon/plant hybrid appeared.
"Camo." Stealth Elf noticed.
"He looks harmless." Mikey noticed as the Skylanders facepalmed at that before Camo breathed out life energy that looked like a spiky small sun.
"Look out!" Sonata shouted as everyone dodged it.
"Okay, that's on me." Mikey admitted.
"Chop, you're with me!" Pinkie said.
"Right!" Chop Chop responded before Camo conjured a vine of rapidly growing fruits.
"I'm not going to ask." Sonata noted while Chop Chop protected Pinkie as the two charged before Pinkie grabbed Chop Chop's sword and jumped.
"Backhand Blaze Blade!" Pinkie shouted while charging Chop Chop's sword with her Fire Element. But when she got close, the fruit she was closest to glowed and exploded before Chop Chop took the hit, getting knocked back. "Chop!" Pinkie gasped as she then swung the sword at Camo, knocking him out.
"Nice burn trail." Flameslinger noticed as Camo then vanished, fortunately leaving some edible and non-explosive fruit.
"Anyone hungry?" Mikey quipped as Pinkie grabbed the fruit before giving it to Chop Chop, who ate it and regained his health and strength.
"Here's your sword back, Double C." Pinkie offered as Chop Chop felt her leftover Fire energy still on it.
"Thanks." Chop Chop nodded in gratitude.
"BAH! That’s all right. I have something’s even MORE EVIL in mind. More evil and unbeatable than ever before! I SUMMON, MY ‘TOTALLY UNBEATABLE DEADLY EVIL LIFE SPELL LF ULTIMATE DEATH!!!’ HAHAHA!" Kaos laughed as everyone else stood unimpressed. Kaos summoned another spell, sending in red insects with life energy balls behind them as they homed on the group, only to the insects to be beaten and caused the energy balls to vanish. But then energy balls spiraled in as the group dodged them before the energy balls popped. Then the group dodged energy ball rings and a LONG spiral of energy balls, with a red insect at the back end. Soon, they beat the spell. "WHAT!!!!!????? You TOTALLY BEAT MY ‘TOTALLY UNBEATABLE DEADLY EVIL LIFE SPELL OF ULTIMATE DEATH!!!’ Er-I mean… Never mind!"
"That's just sad." Mikey deadpanned.
"Besides, we may have been lucky that time." Stealth Elf quipped with Sonata snickering at that taunt as it angered Kaos.
"Eh? What? Where? Huh?! Grr! How dare you use BLIND LUCK against me, KAOS!! WELL, even if it can’t see, your luck is about to run out! MINION!" Kaos shouted as an Ent with hammers for hands appeared.
"Stump Smash." Stealth Elf noticed as Stump Smash spewed out a Meganut before spewing out two spiny acorns.
"Mirror Clones!" Sonata said as two astral clones of Sonata appeared. "Mystic slash!" Sonata roared as the three sliced the two acorns and meganut, destroying the projectiles. Stealth Elf used the dust to unless a series of kicks on Stump Smash as they hit the Ent, but he was still standing strong.
"Looks like it’s time for a low sweep." Stealth Elf noted as Stump Smash swung at her, but she sweep kicked him hard, causing the Ent to fall over, leaving him wide open. "Sorry, my friend."
Stealth Elf threw the finishing punch, knocking Stump Smash unconscious before he vanished.
"Stupid, deceitful trees! I hate ‘em! I HATE ‘EM! Even the EVIL ONES! ARGH! Obviously, I have SLIGHTLY underestimated all of you. It won’t happen again…" Kaos growled.
"He's weird." Mikey noted.
"I call upon my most powerful and evil Life Spell of all! So powerful I dare not speak its name. I SUMMON… Curious aren’t you? TOO BAD! BEHOLD!" Kaos mocked.
"Just get on with it, stupid!" Sonata said as Kaos used another Life Spell as energy balls spiraled in and out as lines of red insects homed in. The group attacked the insects and dodged the balls, even though it took a while as was a bit of a close call.
"Oh you have GOT to be kidding me!" Kaos groaned.
"No." Mikey simply retorted.
"LIFE MINIONS! All at once! Make these imposters and Skylosers sorry they ever heard the glorious name of KAOS! Attack!" Kaos ordered as the Life Boys reappeared, fully healed.
"I'm ready." Stealth Elf said, despited being exhausted.
"Gonna need a combo move here…" Mikey noted.
"How about Burning Gold Shot?!" Sonata asked.
"Hehehe! I'll add in a Pot O' Gold!" Trigger Happy laughed.
"Just give me a target." Flameslinger said.
"The three of us will knock all three of them at once." Mikey responded as everyone else attacked the brainwashed trio hard enough that they were driven into the middle.
"Now!" Sonata shouted before Mikey slammed his hammer into the ground so hard, a large boulder erupted from underground as Trigger Happy threw a Pot O' Gold at it before Flameslinger fired, skewering both projectiles as they struck the Life Boys before the projectiles blew up, knocking the three out cold.
"Upgraded to Explosive Arrows." Flameslinger informed.
"That's gotta hurt." Sonata winced.
"Didn't strengthen the flames of my arrows yet though." Flameslinger added.
"GHAA! Fine! Take the Eternal Life Source! You'll never get to use it! You'd all just better watch your backs. Cuz I'll be watching them too......Er-Unless you're coming toward sme, then I'll be watching your fronts. Either way! You'll all be watched. By ME." Kaos declared before he vanished as the Eternal Life Source reappeared when Stealth Elf suddenly fainted from exhaustion.
"Stealth!" Sonata gasped while Flameslinger carefully picked up Stealth Elf as Mikey's Soul Gem appeared.
"Guess this is my heavily firepower." Mikey noted as the group soon returned to the Core Ruins with the Soul Gem and Eternal Life Source.
"We got the Eternal Life Source." Sonata informed as Master Eon then appeared.
"I fear the Darkness is growing and the Core of Light is not yet complete. But now you bring the Eternal Life Source, who's true power lies within." Master Eon explained as the Source went below the Core of Light as a large flower grew each on two sides of it while vines grew and entangled around the underground parts of the machine. The flowers then released pollen that swirled around the machine.
"Hey Sling, why don't you play Prince Charming to Stealth?" Mikey smir.ed
"...What?!" Flameslinger gasped.
"Come on. You both obviously like each other. Kiss." Mikey insisted as the rest of the girls were snickering.
"Go for it, buddy." Terrafin agreed.
"Ready for plan B, Mikey?" Pinkie whispered to Mikey.
"You bet if Sling needs a push." Mikey whispered back to Pinkie in agreement as Flameslinger started doing it instead.
"Ten bucks says she wakes up and blushes." Sonic Boom betted as her kids were playing.
"You're on." Whirlwind challenged, accepting the bet.
"Want me to count down, girls?" Sonata smirked, answered with the duo nodding as Flameslinger did the kiss. "And three... two... one..."
Stealth Elf suddenly woke up.
"Moments of truth." Sonic Boom said as Flameslinger saw that Stealth Elf was awake.
"Uh, sorry about that." Flameslinger apologized while blushing as Stealth Elf scrambled away, blushing as well before realizing her mask was pulled down.
"Pay up." Sonic Boom laughed as Whirlwind gave the griffin some of her treasure.

Troll Warehouse
Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
Hugo saw the Core of Light and was glad its recreation was going well. "What a remarkable creation!"
"We are all remarkable creations." Arbo said.
"Some more remarkable than others. Like me. BOOM!" Flynn boasted.
"How many elements are left?" Pinkie asked while rocking Inferno to sleep.
"Four down, four to go. We must find the remaining Eternal Sources before they fall into Kaos’ hands." Hugo listed.
"Well, we had any luck finding clues to the others?" Mikey added another question, but before Hugo could answered, a nearby hatch opened before a robot rose out of it on a platform.
"Situation report! Who's in charge here?" The robot requested.
"In charge? Why, I'm in charge... of the ladies that is! Believe it..." Flynn said before Sonata slapped him in the back of the head.
"We're in charge of the Skylanders here. I'm Sonata and my friends are Pinkie Pie and Michelangelo." Sonata informed.
"Ah, excellent! I am General Robot, and we've got a flustercuff of a situation! It seems the Trolls are keeping something UNKNOWN in a heavily guarded warehouse. Skylands Intel believe it's some sort of "gear? that may have originated from this here location." General Robot explained.
"That's not just any gear! It's a golden gear. The 'Golden Gear.' We need it to rebuild the Core of Light!" Hugo informed.
"Then let's get going ." Mikey said while twirling his hammer.
"I'm coming with." Stealth Elf said as she tried to stand but was too exhausted.
"Hold it, Stealth. I'm going this time." Camo responded.
"Hmm. This is more serious than I expected. You see, the enemy is crafty and has the advantage, uh, temporarily of course. And we do not at this time have the firepower to EVAC said gear to a safe location behind our lines to reconnoiter. We need your help, soldiers. Can I count on you?" General Robot asked.
"Any other volunteers for a military campaign?" Sonata checked.
"I will accompany on this quest." Drobot answered.
"I'm in." Dino-Rang volunteered.
"Same here." Warnado added.
"And I as well." Voodood agreed.
"I'm ready!" Zap declared.
"Then get in!" General Robot said before moving aside as the platform lowered with the hatch still open.
"To the ship." Pinkie replied.
"That's a negatory, private. This is the quickest way to enemy lines unnoticed." General Robot explained.
"I got a bad feeling about this." Pinkie dreaded.
"Don't worry, I'll look after Inferno." Sonic Boom assured as the team soon found themselves in a cannon.
"Uh-oh." Pinkie gulped.
"Come on, Pinkie, crazy stuff like this should be right up your alley." Sonata pointed out.
"Yeah, your pony counterpart actually stuffed me, herself and some others into her party cannon to get to the Storm King." Mikey remembered before, *Bang!* everyone was fired away. Unfortunately, the blast woke Inferno up.
"Kids? Mom might need some help." Sonic Boom requested.
Meanwhile, the group somehow landed safely without any injures as they encountered a mabu with spy headgear.
"That was fun. And by that, I mean... OW, MY SKULL!" Pinkie shouted in pain as it was definitely surprising even though Pinkie had a rocketman helmet on, her head felt the impact, despite there being no injuries on her or anyone else whatsoever. Suddenly, everyone got hit hard due to the fact they faster than the speed of pain
"Okay, so this is new for you three. But you'll get used to it." Camo said while shaking off a mere headache.
"Hey, who Agent Mabu?" Mikey noticed.
"Name's Snuckles. That's right, Special Agent Snuckles. C'mon. The elevator into the Troll Warehouse is right this way." The Mabu urged as everyone followed him. The elevator moved upward before the group found themselves at an area. "Betcha don't recognize me, fo ya? That's because I'm a master of disguise now. You and your friends once saved us all when a tornado ripped through our village. That's when I decided to join the Mabu Defense Force and become a real live secret agent. AND this is my first mission! Can you believe it!? Come on, let's go get that Golden Gear!"
"Situation report, Agent Snuckles." Mikey requested.
"Oh, right. We have a Lock Puzzle right ahead of us with a Lockmaster Imp inside, which is kind of blocking our way." Snuckles informed.
"I got this." Pinkie volunteered before approaching the lock puzzle as the Imp retreated inside.
"Anything else to report, Agent Snuckles?" Mikey asked.
"Defenses are strong and fierce, so expect a fight." Snuckles answered.
"Whoo! Took a bit, but it's unlocked now." Pinkie noted before the lock puzzle fell apart as the imp was sent flying before the gear gate spun and opened.
"Hey, wait for me." Snuckles said.
"Stay close and keep calm." Sonata responded before the group encountered a Trollverine, protecting himself with a shield in the left hand, while wielding claws in the right hand.
"Hey Camo, feel like a Fruity Slingshot?" Mikey smirked.
"Whaddya have in mind?" Camo asked as Mikey brought out a vine slingshot.
"Load up." Mikey ordered as Camo smirked before growing firecracker vines and watermelons before loading the firecracker melons and watermelons into the slingshot. "Eat this!"
The combined projectile attack bombarded the enemies while knocking them off balance, causing the barrage to beat them.
"Another lock puzzle." Pinkie noticed as trolls charged at the group.
"Get it unlock! We'll hold them off!" Sonata assured.
"Shouldn't take long." Pinkie said.
"Tidal Slash!" Sonata shouted before Zap fired at her attack, electrifying it as the double attack shocked a group of trolls.
"Come Rang or Shine!" Dino-Rang roared, letting out his battle cry as he threw a boomerang.
"Fruit Punch!" Camo growled, giving out his battle cry too as everyone held a defensive position until Pinkie got the door unlocked.
"Guys, let's hustle!" Pinkie urged as the group moved forward before encountering a Rocket Imp as it started firing rockets at them.
"Scatter!" Mikey shouted while Camo summoned a firecracker vine as the group dodged before the explosive melons detonated, beating the imp.
"Two can play that game." Camo quipped.
"Glad you're on our side now, C-Dragon!" Mikey smiled in relief.
"Sure. Feel up for some pranks later at the ruins when we get back?" Camo smirked.
"You read my mind." Mikey smirked back.
"Guys, it's the gear!" Pinkie called out as the Golden Gear was still a ways away, but then Trolls ambushed the group.
"Dro, fire at my mirror clones." Sonata said while directing her mirror clones.
"Understood." Drobot responded as he fired his upgraded eye blasters and the clones reflected the shots at the Trolls with the steel of their swords before the trolls were soon beaten.
"I think the Warehouse is this way!" Snuckles noted as the group kept moving forward before stopping at a barren field.
"Guys, pump the breaks for a sec." Pinkie advised as everyone stopped and saw what Pinkie meant: No Guards, no Traps... Not even any of their brainwashed pals.
"Something's not right here." Mikey suspected.
"Courage, Snuckles. Courage. There, that's the Troll Warehouse up ahead. Those stinky-bridge-dwellers keep all the junk they've stolen in there. I can see it! The Golden Gear! Go get it! I mean, LET's go get it! That's right." Snuckles said as he moved forward, but when he was about to step foot onto the field, something arose from underground and detonated on contact, sending the mabu back to the others. "Owie! Owie! Stingy! Wow, that hurt. I should just go home... No, wait. I need to fight."
The group couldn't understand what just happened there on the field as Sonata sent a mirror clone in another direction and it exploded.
"Mines! The whole field must be rigged. Snuckles, are you hurt?" Sonata asked.
"I'm okay. Aw, those tricky-trolls pit in a minefield. But you know, I bet they'd never remember where they put all those mines... They've gotta have a map showing the way through it. And we've gotta find it." Snuckles informed.
"You've done enough, Snuckles. You stay here and monitor the gear." Pinkie advised.
"Okay." Snuckles nodded.
"When we get you back to the core, we'll make sure General Robot gives you a medal." Mikey responded.
"Thanks." Snuckles smiled in gratitude before the group moved forward, only to more trolls as they beat the enemies and went past an opening gate, only to encounter more trolls and a troll piloting a Gun Snout, with the nose of the troll head-shaped, two-legged machine being a machine gun.
"Let's hope it doesn't fire boogers." Sonata taunted,
"Hey, we trolls might be stupid but we're not disgusting! You don't have to insult us!" The pilot troll growled as the trolls attacked, but they left themselves wide open thanks to that insult while everyone scrambled for cover.
"It kinda was unnecessary to insult them, Sonata." Camo said.
"Yeah, no need to be rude." Flameslinger added while firing.
"Mikey?" Sonata requested.
"Say no more." Mikey smiled as he pierced his hammer into the ground before earth pillars and trees erupted beneath the enemy group, beating them in one fell swoop before Mikey felt real tired. "Man... That Soul Gem ability emptied my tank quick."
Pinkie grabbed Mikey as he collapsed.
"Little help?" Pinkie asked.
"I-I'm okay, Pinkie. Looks like I can only use that once in a while." Mikey noticed.
"Better hang back. We'll handle the rest." Pinkie suggested as Mikey opened a bag he had on him before bringing out a slice of pizza and a bottle of hot sauce. Mikey dipped some hot sauce on the pizza slice before eating it before steam comically whistled out of his ears.
"Whoo! I'm all good! But still, can't use that attack again for a while, otherwise I might take an unwanted nap."
"Then I'll use my Soul Gem attack!" Sonata said as she withdrew her weapons and readied for hand-to-hand combat. "Aqua Mystic Punch!" Sonata shouted as she punched the machine as the energy within her fists went into the Gun Snout's gears and stopped them. "Okay, that was a little unstable." Sonata admitted as she backed off before the Gun Snout exploded, sending the troll pilot flying while she mentally thought to herself, "Heehee, but at least I came up with my own move now. "
A piece of paper floated to the group
"Wait... This is only a quarter of the map." Pinkie realized.
"Remaining pieces detected. Follow me." Drobot said as the group fought more trolls, solved lock puzzles, light beam puzzles, found treasure, Zook's soul gem and the rest of the map pieces, before heading back to Snuckles, some team members with a few smolders.
"Snuckles, did they move the Gear?" Mikey asked.
"No. You guys have the map?" Snuckles asked.
"Analyzing path now." Drobot answered.
"One other thing, I saw the Trolls moving something that looked like an Arkyean drilling machine." Snuckles added.
"Sounds like Drill Sergeant." Camo noted.
"And we have the map, all four pieces." Pinkie informed.
"Great work! Now we've got a complete map of the minefield. After you guys, er, you know, since you already have the map." Snuckles said as everyone carefully trended the minefield until they reached the Golden Gear before it fell backwards onto a hatch when something slightly poked through the middle with two car beeps. "Well, guess our ride back to the Core of Light's ready."
"You're coming with. We promised you a medal." Mikey insisted.
"Okay." Snuckles nodded as he and the group went onto the Golden Gear before a dome was placed around/above them before they felt the gear rumbling.
"Next stop: Core of Light." Mikey quipped before the group felt a heaviness as they realized that they were on a rocket with the Golden Gear serving as a platform for the inside with the rocket blasting off.
"Can't there be a normal means of transportation in this world?!" Sonata cried out.
"You're seriously asking that about Skylands? No." Pinkie pointed out, and then... Blast off! The rocket broke through the Troll Warehouse roof as it flew with its passengers inside.
"Coordinates set for the Core." Drobot informed as the Rocket soon landed at the Core of Light Ruins before it suddenly fell apart with the Golden Gear on the ground as the group were still standing on it.
"That was anticlimactic." Pinkie deadpanned.
"Hey, at least we got the Golden Gear." Mikey pointed out as the group and Snuckles got off the Golden Gear before said gear started floating before Master Eon appeared.
"What's happening?" Snuckles asked.
"The Golden Gear, plucked from the machinery of the universe, the intricate clockwork of this world." Master Eon informed as the Golden Gear flew below the Core of Light through the middle opening before going into a vine, causing more and more Golden Gears to appearing on the vines before the circle of the Core of Light rose, revealing Golden Gears as they popped out, still as a statue.
"Special Agent Snuckles... *As Snuckles saluted his superior* For courage in the face of danger and providing intelligence on the general location of a missing Skylander, I hereby award you with the Skylands Medal of Valor." General Robot congratulated as Snuckles received the medal.
"Thank you, sir." Snuckles responded in gratitude.
Meanwhile at Kaos' Kastle, he saw what happened.
"My gear! *As Glumshanks showed up* Do you see that?! They've got my gear! My beautiful Golden Gear!" Kaos lamented.
"Next, *Brings out a vial of goo* they'll be after your goo." Glumshanks informed before Kaos grabbed the vial.
"You're right! My goo! First, it was my Golden Gear, *Accidentally spills some goo on Glumshanks head* now they're after my Glowing Green Goo! That tears it! No more Mr. Nice Guy!" Kaos growled.
"Um, I wouldn't exactly call you-" Glumshanks tried to said before he was interrupted.
"Call out my Troll army! *Accidentally launches some goo* Launch a full-scale attack! THIS MEANS WAR!" Kaos declared as some goo fell on Kaos' head and cloak as he saw the vial a bit low.

Next Time on Equestria Ninja Girls...
Goo Factory
Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
Mikey and Camo had a good and fun prank spree back at the Core of Light Ruins before Pinkie showed up.
"General Robot’s back." Pinkie informed as everyone ran to his position.
"Status report, sir." Mikey requested.
"Snuckles is back out on the field, and I must say, that’s an impressive gear. I wouldn’t mind upgrading my own equipment with one of those. What kind of grease does this thing take?" General Robot asked as Hugo showed up.
"The rarest kind… Green Primordial Goo! But when the Core was destroyed, all the Green Goo drained out, and I haven’t got a clue where to find more." Hugo explained.
"The Trolls probably have a huge supply of it since they were using the Gear themselves." Sonata wondered.
"So let's go get it!" Terrafin declared while cracking his knuckles.
"I'm with you all the way, pal!" Flameslinger agreed.
"You know, recently, the Troll military has taken a massive leap toward in terms of its technological capability. I’ll be this Green Goo business is behind it all." General Robot informed.
"Oh no! This is terrible! If the Trolls have discovered the secret of the goo, their forces will be virtually unstoppable!" Hugo dreaded.
"Our soldiers have been struggling to breach their main factory. If this goo is what you say it is, then failure is not an option! Pinkamena, Sonata, Michelangelo, Skylanders, we need your help! Can we count on you to shut down their factories and recover the goo?" General Robot asked.
"Sign us up!" Mikey whooped.
"I'm coming too, mon!" Zook added.
"Hahahaha! Same here!" Trigger Happy laughed.
"Let's fight!" Slam Bam declared.
"I'm in!" Double Trouble volunteered.
"Don’t count me out." Warnado said.
"Looks like we got a Squadron! To the frontlines!" Mikey smirked before General Robot moved aside as the group jumped into the open hatch as a cannon came out of it before it started aiming.
"The Glowing Green Goo of Primordia! That’s what we’re after, soldiers! Make us proud!" General Robot informed before the group saluted as the cannon fired them.
"I think I’m getting used to this!" Pinkie smiled as the group soon arrives at their destination. But when they did, they encountered a familiar mabu, now wearing a camo cap/helmet.
"Alright! You’re back. Thanks for bringing me back to the Core Ruins, the Captain was really impressed with my first mission! So here I am again!" Snuckles noted.
"Any intelligence you found?" Mikey asked.
"Here's the situation. We've been able to push forward to a position just outside the Troll Factories. The Captain took a squad up ahead, but that was hours ago! I have to stay behind to guard this position. You've got to go find him! He'll know what to do!" Snuckles explained.
"Okay. Stand a look out here and get to us if you anything important." Mikey said.
"Got it." Snuckles nodded as everyone else went ahead and reminded alert.
"I get why we're sneaking around, but why all of us at once?" Terrafin asked.
"Because the longer we stay stealthy, the less of a fight we can have." Sonata answered.
"I get that we're in trenches, but you know where we are, right?" Flameslinger pointed out as Trigger Happy then spotted usable bombs.
"So much for stealth." Trigger Happy noted.
"Not exactly, my friend. I got a plan." Mikey said. Soon, there was a big *Boom!* caused by bombs before the Trolls got ready to fight as Pinkie, Trigger Happy, and Slam Bam charged.
"Move it!" Mikey quietly urged while the trio were annihilating the Trolls as the group snuck by and met up with a Mabu.
"Ho there Skylanders! Feels good to be in the midst of all this action, doesn’t it? I used to own a flower shop, but then I started the Mabu Defence Force and then appointed myself Captain… now I’m blowing stuff up! That’s the life, I tell ya." Rizzo said.
"Update us on the situation." Mikey requested.
"Speaking of which... the main factories are just around this corner, but these turrets have us pinned down. Fortunately, our scout has reported a stockpile of Mega Bombs in the ammo dump at the top of the hill. You better check it out and grab some bombs to get there. Be careful though... the entrance is being guarded by heavy artillery! Find a Mega Bomb if you can, that'll be the ticket! Then you can roll it back here and we'll blow this wall up together! HA! HA!" Rizzo informed.
"No way to get pass without drawing attention." Sonata noted while looking through binoculars.
"So, we'll divert their attention." Mikey responded.
"Again?" Sonata asked.
"The more strain they have on their reinforcement, the less defenses they'll have. Zook, Chop Chop, Double Trouble, Warnado, you four are with Sonata." Mikey ordered.
"Sure thing, mon!" Zook smiled.
"Terrafin and Flameslinger, you two are with me. I'll need the Unbeatable Team." Mikey grinned.
"Heh, alrighty then." Terrafin smirked while pounding his fists.
"Follow me, boys!" Sonata said.
"Right behind you, Sonnie!" Zook laughed as Sonata and her group attacked.
"We're under attack!" A troll shouted.
"Mystic Slash!" Sonata roared as she and the four Skylanders struck the enemy hard enough that the Trolls were focused on them.
"Well, let's get a move on!" Mikey declared as the trio raced to the ammo dump at the top of the hill. "Come on, guys. Up we go." Mikey said before he felt his foot burning. "Ow, hot!" Mikey yelped as he hopped back to Flameslinger and Terrafin.
"I'll head up and fire a line for you two to climb." Flamslinger volunteered.
"Good call." Terrafin noted as Flameslinger bounced up and fired a rope down to help them befpre Mikey and Terrafin climbed up.
"Get a bomb ready!" Mikey said as the trio made it to the top before they saw a mabu with spy headgear.
"Well color me tickled pink! It's part of the the Skylanders who saved our town!" Nort noticed.
"Yeah, that's us. Are you okay? Any injuries from the evacuation?" Mikey asked.
"I'm all good, thanks for asking. The Captain sent me to scout ahead. Look, it's too dangerous to attack the wall straight on, but as luck would have it, I've found another way in. Follow me!" Nort said.
"Lead the way, pal!" Terrafin smiled as Nort led the group to a Troll Camp.
"That ammo dump is just past here. And if you guys can find a handy dandy Mega Bomb, this wall will go KABLOOEY!" Nort shouted.
"Thanks for the help." Mikey said in gratitude.
"Consider it a debt repaid." Nort smiled before Mikey and his team charged in as they fought the Trolls before two troll tanks came out.
"I'll draw their fire. You two take them out." Mikey requested before he took cover as his teammates fought the trolls and tanks before he started sneaking up behind the two tanks.
"Sling, with me. Our Burning Boulder Special!" Terrafin shouted.
"I'm with you, pal!" Flameslinger nodded while the tanks fired at Mikey's Vine Barrier, before Terrafin pulled a boulder out from the ground that Flameslinger ignited.
"I have no idea how I’m doing this." Terrafin admitted.
"It's called Teamwork and Friendship." Flameslinger responded.
"Heh, you sure you can’t see through that blindfold?" Terrafin laughed.
"Like I need it with my friends." Flameslinger fired back as Terrafin threw the Boulder and destroyed the tanks.
"Nice job you two!" Mikey called out as he turned around before noticing Camo’s soul gem. "Score. You two get the bomb ready."
"It's actually closer than we think." Terrafin noticed as there were mega bombs right nearby.
"That's the ol' pepper boy! Now just roll that mega bomb on over and blast the heckfire out of the trolls' defenses!" Nort informed.
"Thanks. Now, find cover. We'll send an extraction squad later." Mikey said.
"Why don’t we test those one of those Mega Bombs on the wall protecting this camp?" Flameslinger smiled.
"You read my mind!" Terrafin smirked as the duo broken a wooded gate open before rolling out a Mega Bomb as they soon got it to a metal wall. When the Mega Bomb made contact, it detonated, destroying the wall.
"Great Mabu's Ghost! What a blast! Haahhahhahhah!" Nort laughed.
"I'll say." Mikey agreed.
"Now if you three can just find one more bomb and roll it back to the Captain, we can go right on through to the factories!" Nort explained.
"Let's get rolling, guys!" Mikey shouted as the trio then grabbed another and rolled it down the hill while steamrolling some trolls before they made it to the gate, blowing the bomb and gate up on contact.
"KABOOM! What an explosion! Now it's time to take the fight to THEM!" Rizzo declared as the four then heard panting as the others came back.
"Everyone in one piece?" Sonata asked.
"Yeah." Pinkie nodded.
"There are three Goo Factories. Raise the flags at each one to signal their capture. Then we can secure the goo! Good luck soldiers!" Rizzo informed.
"Same teams as before. Divide and conquer." Mikey said.
"Right." Sonata agreed before everyone raced to different flags as the alarms started blaring.
"We got company!" Pinkie shouted.
"So let's knock them down!" Zook said.
"Showtime!" Sonata smirked.
"Attack!" Slam Bam shouted as everyone attacked from all sides
"Boss, get the flag down! We got this!" Terrafin assured as Flameslinger attacked the enemies.
"Okay!" Mikey responded before he brought down the old flag and raised the new one as the duo covered him.
"Not even a challenge for me." Flameslinger scoffed.
"Talk about lightweights." Terrafin agreed.
"Hurray, Sonata! This ice wall won't hold!" Slam Bam urged.
"Almost there!" Sonata responded while Trigger Happy provided covering fire as she finished. "Done and done!"
"Hold them back, my friends!" Chop Chop said as Pinkie was working on the third and final flag.
"Hurry..." Warnado tried to urge before a powerful blast knocked him unconscious.
"Warnado!" Pinkie shouted as the Trolls started laying more pressure on Pinkie's group. "This is really bad!"
"But it pays to have friends! Stone Wave!" Mikey roared as he and the others attacked from behind, hitting the trolls hard.
"Get the flag up. We'll cover you." Sonata added.
"Thanks!" Pinkie said in gratitude as the trolls were stuck in the middle of the heroes attacks before got the flag up. "There we go!"
The Skanders closed in on the Trolls, making them surrender.
"Thank you Skylanders! We've secured the factories, but the trolls are certain to retaliate. Let's hurry up and get this Goo back to the General. He'll be expecting it. Good thing our ride back's in this factory." Rizzo smiled.
"Get the prisoners caged up." Mikey ordered.
"Why?" Pinkie asked.
"POWs" Mikey simply answered as the group went inside the factory, then in through another door before the factory roof opened and a cannon came out of it and aimed at the Core of Light Ruins before firing them.
"WHOA!" Sonata yelped as the group soon landed at the ruins with Rizzo, Nort, the Troll prisoners and the Green Goo.
"Everyone okay?" Mikey asked.
"Looks like it." Sonata noted.
"Warnado is still unconscious." Pinkie pointed out before the goo started floating.
"Clockwork." Mikey said as Master Eon then appeared.
"The Green Goo of Primordia, made from the fossils of vast prehistoric Explodasuars. It pulses with unimaginable power." Master Eon informed as the vial went to the Core with the goo, causing a glowing green ring started appearing on the upper/inner and lower/middle circles of the Core of Light, the vines underground started glowing green as well before the glow faded as the green rings finished appearing.
"Casualty report, soldiers!" General Robot requested.
"Warnado's out cold right now." Mikey answered.
"His tour is done in this war." General Robot said.
"Probably for the best right now." Sonata agreed as Warnado was carried off.

Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
The Goofball Trio, Inferno and the Skylanders met up with Hugo as General Robot showed up.
"Glowing Green Goo acquired! Now we need the Eternal Tech Source. I don’t suppose your military intelligence has found out where it is?" Hugo requested.
"Don’t insult me, son. Of course we have! Intel says that the Trolls have the Eternal Tech Source hidden in their base. Unfortunately, they’ve already been using it to develop a slew of new weapons! That’s why I’m coming along for support. Are you ready, Soldiers?" General Robot asked.
"Who's game for warfare?!" Sonata called out.
"Bring the Boom!" Boomer laughed wildly.
"I'm coming, too." Stump Smash volunteered.
"I'm going." Gill Grunt added.
"I’ll come along." Sonic Boom agreed as Inferno tugged on Pinkie's sock, wanting to come before Pinkie picked him up.
"No, you stay here. Mommy loves you." Pinkie said after kissing Inferno's head as Inferno could only chirp and mewl before he hugged Pinkie’s face.
"I'll watch him." Stealth Elf volunteered.
"Thanks, Stealth." Pinkie smiled.
"I'm ready for war!" Dino-Rang added.
"I’ll come too." Voodood nodded.
"Alright, let's get to the front lines people!" Mikey urged.
"Giddiyap! Let’s go kick some stinky troll beeehind! No offense to that, Soldier." General Robot declared before saying that last bit to Boomer.
"None taken." Boomer shrugged before the group went into the hatch as a cannon came out while a jetpack emerged from General Robot’s back before the cannon fired the group as General Robot took off after.
"Whoo-hoo!" Pinkie cheered before the group soon landed, meeting Snuckles again as General Robot took to the battlefield.
"Oh thank goodness you’re here. I was just about to… Never mind. I’m not panicking. Well, kinda, but not really now that you guys are here." Snuckles said.
"Situation report, Snuckles." Mikey requested.
"Come on, Snuckles. YOU can do this!! Okay, the Trolls have overrun our defenses and our Command Team has been cut off! We have to get to them, but we don’t have much time!" Snuckles informed.
"Stay close to us and we'll get you to them!" Mikey informed as Boomer used one of his bombs to blow up a nearby barbed wire with a cannon just ahead.
"We got incoming!" Flameslinger yelled as there was weapons firing from a nearby tower, and with a little side moving, the cannon would line up with it as Pinkie grinned greatly.
"Prepare counterattack!" Pinkie declared as she lined up the cannon and fired it at the tower, bringing it down with one shot while Boomer blew up another nearby barbed wire, clearing a path.
"Into enemy lines!" Sonata added as the group moved forward, only to encounter a Gun Snout.
"Take cover!" Gill Grunt shouted before everyone ducked as it started firing.
"Any ideas?" Chop Chop asked before Dino-Rang summoned two Stonefist Traps as the Gun Snout walked forward to find the group, only to step on the trap and have its legs punched by the fists, knocking it down.
"That's weird but effective. Let's roll!" Mikey shouted as Pinkie and Sonata were surprised that Mikey said that first bit.
"We doing a war or what, ladies?!" Boomer called out with the two snapping out of it as they beat the Gun Snout before noticing Troll Grenadiers around them.
"Ambush!" Sonic Boom shouted.
"Wait, not all of them noticed us yet. And those who did think they can take us by themselves." Sonata said.
"Okay. Sonata, take Boomer and Flameslinger and play decoy." Pinkie ordered.
"Then the rest of us will split into two groups, heading left and right to take care of the trolls that haven't noticed us yet." Mikey added.
"Okay, I'll take Sonic Boom and Chop Chop and advance to the front." Pinkie volunteered.
"So you'll go right? Then me and the others go left from behind." Mikey finished.
"Okay, break!" Sonata shouted before the team split up as Sonata's team went up the stairs, Pinkie's team went downstairs right further into enemy territory, and Mikey's team heading left into a battlefield.
"There they are!" A troll called out.
"Come an' get us!" Sonata taunted before she and her team ran as the trolls chased them.
Meanwhile, Mikey and his group were fighting trolls in the battlefield.
"This very fun!" Voodood smiled while swinging axe at enemies.
"I know, right?" Mikey agreed as he was whacking trolls.
"I missed a lot!" Stump Smash noticed while smashing trolls.
"You did, bud." Gill Grunt confirmed while harpooning Trolls.
"I sure hope Pinkie's team made it!" Mikey said as he was swinging his hammer.
"I’m sure they’re alright." Dino-Rang assured while throwing boomerangs before Mikey noticed where the tower once was before Pinkie fired that cannon.
"Guys, this way!" Mikey urged as the group went to the tower before they spotted Trolls guarding some kind of treasure. "Who's up for looting?"
"Normally wouldn’t be sure, but from Kaos, it’s fine by me." Gill Grunt smirked.
"Let's go!" Stump Smash declared.
"Right-o!" Dino-Rang agreed while the trolls were bored lying guarding until they got attacked.
"SURPRISE ATTACK!!!" Mikey cried out as he and his group stormed ahead and attacked hard. "Aw yeah!"
"Hey, that's not yours!" A troll growled.
"Yoink! Pow!" Mikey quipped as he knocked out the troll. "Nighty-night!"
"We got the loot!" Gill Grunt informed.
"Sweet! Let's go!" Mikey declared as the group headed out.
With Pinkie's group, they moved forward, fighting enemies while getting a key.
"Burning Bone Ball!" Pinkie shouted as her attack hit the Trollverines before Pinkie grabbed the key.
"Let's hurry this war up." Sonic Boom urged as the group broke through some walls before getting a Soul Gem with the face of a machine on it.
"Who does this one belong to?" Pinkie asked.
"Drill Sergeant, a Tech Skylander." Chop Chop informed.
"Then let's find him!" Pinkie declared before she unlocked a gate with the key she had as the party girl went deeper into enemy territory and fought more trolls.
"You mind flying me over?" Chop Chop asked while mounting Sonic Boom.
"I'll try, but they might have anti-air weapons." Sonic Boom pointed out.
"Leave that to me." Pinkie assured.
"You sure you can keep up?" Sonic Boom asked.
"Of course!" Pinkie nodded.
"Okay then." Sonic Boom responded as she carried Chop Chop high above the enemies.
"Shoot them down!" A troll ordered.
"Skeletal Grasp!" Pinkie yelled before the attack grabbed the Trolls as Pinkie dashed through the forces while blowing up metal walls with cannons and finding keys to unlock gates before the three spotted Rizzo as Sonic Boom and Chop Chop came down.
"Rizzo, status report!" Chop Chop requested as Pinkie noticed Rizzo wearing a Napoleon hat.
"Ho there Skylanders! You three got here just in time! We need to get past their barriers, but we aren't having any luck. The good news is we've captured a troll stockpile, and there are a few Mega Bombs in it! HA! Good for our side! Bad news is, they're too heavy for any of us to move. Me included. Too many years spent planting flowers I suppose. Looks like a job for you three." Rizzo explained.
"Oh! I just remembered something!" Pinkie gasped as the two Skylanders turned towards Pinkie.
"We can handle it." Pinkie assured.
"Something up, Pinkie?" Sonic Boom asked.
"Yeah, BRB." Pinkie answered as she dashed ahead before dashing back past the group while carrying a Mega Bomb, much to the two Skylanders' surprise, before an explosion was heard, then Pinkie returned with Drobot's Soul Gem.
"She's unpredictable... I like her." Sonic Boom smirked.
"There's two metal walls, so we'll need two Mega Bombs." Pinkie counted.
"Simple enough." Chop Chop noted.
"Well, let's go." Sonic Boom said as the trio headed to the bomb stockpile. Pinkie was rolling one Mega Bomb as Sonic Boom and Chop Chop was rolling another.
"Fire in the hole!" Pinkie shouted as the group rolled the Mega Bombs into the metal walls, blowing them up. "WA-HOO!!!"
"OUTSTANDING! Now get in there and... OH NO!!!" Rizzo gaped in horror.
"What's wrong?" Pinkie asked.
"IT'S THEIR SECRET WEAPON!" Rizzo answered as there was a giant armored troll tank piloted by two Grenadiers, accompanied by a familiar machine.
"Drill Sergeant!" Sonic Boom realized.
"The trolls must be using the Eternal Tech Source to power that tank! You've gotta destroy it! Then you can "liberate" the Source and your friend yourselves! Thumbs up!" Rizzo said.
"Okay, Drill first. The men before the mission." Pinkie listed.
"Okay." Sonic Boom nodded as the trio charged at Drill Sergeant.
"Enemies detected." Drill Sergeant alerted before he fired homing drill missiles at the group.
"Skeletal Grasp!" Pinkie shouted as the skeletal hands rose and grabbed the missiles, but they were spinning tow quickly and drilled right outta them, still heading for the group as Drill Sergeant regrew his drills. Sonic Boom screamed, creating a sound barrier.
"When could you use that ability?" Chop Chop asked.
"I just got creative." Sonic Boom shrugged.
"Fresh Air Dome." Pinkie giggled.
"Drills charging!" Chop Chop called out as Drill Sergeant was indeed charging towards the group with a bulldoze and spinning drills. Chop Chop used his shield but combined it with his Bramble ability, and since he got his Soul Gem ability recently, his shield was covered in Cursed Bone Brambles. "That was different."
"Attack him now!" Pinkie ordered as Sonic Boom charged at Drill Sergeant and screamed before the two attacks clashed.
"Hit him left, Chop. I got right." Pinkie said.
"Forward!" Chop Chop added as the duo charged while Sonic Boom kept Drill Sergeant busy before the Auto-Blaster on top of Drill's head started moving as it fired at Pinkie.
"Sorry, companion." Chop Chop apologized while swinging his sword before he sliced Drill Sergeant, freeing him of Kaos' control, also causing Drill Sergeant to shut down before rebooting.
"Drill, you okay?" Sonic Boom asked.
"Rrrrrrrreboot." Drill Sergeant whirred as he then turned on.
"Pretty cool design." Mikey noted as he and his group showed up.
"Guys, you got here in time." Pinkie smiled as Sonata’s group then showed up.
"Good work, Pinkie! We rescued another one!" Sonata cheered.
"We’re not outta the woods yet." Pinkie pointed out as the tank started firing at the heroes.
"DUCK AND COVER!!!" Pinkie shouted as everyone scattered for cover. The tank then searched while turning around, revealing the engine behind it.
"Looks like normal attacks aren’t gonna cut it. Gonna need something with that extra kick." Pinkie noted.
"I'm right behind you!" Boomer smiled as he got up and ran around the tank, avoiding its fire while placing bombs.
"He needs cover! Open fire!" Mikey ordered as everyone attacked and fired at the tank to get its attention. The tank then aimed at the group with the Grenadiers on it ready to throw grenades. "Overgrown Barrier!" Mikey shouted as he charged up his Vine Whip even more before stabbing his hammer into the ground, causing roots to erupt and cover the group as the enemy opened fired and hammered hard at the defense.
"I hope this holds." Pinkie said before a large BOOM was heard.
"Huh?" The group wondered before Mikey withdrew the roots as the group saw the tank still standing with Boomer standing behind them. But then the tank suddenly fell apart before it exploded. Everyone then charged forward as the Trolls surrendered to the heroes before the group then noticed the Eternal Tech Source floating in the air.
"5 down, 3 to go." Mikey counted.
"Care for lift back to the Core?" A familiar voice offered as General Robot showed up.
"Make sure these prisoners are properly imprisoned." Pinkie said to Rizzo.
"You got it, Pinkie." Rizzo nodded.
"Next stop, the Core of Light!" Mikey declared as the group got onto General Robot before he blasted off. Soon, they arrived at the Core of Light Ruins.
"Home." Drill Sergeant said as the Eternal Tech Source started floating higher as Master Eon appeared.
"Amazing." Pinkie awed while picking up Inferno.
"The Eternal Tech Source, embodiment of all science and reason, balances magic within the Core of Light." Master Eon explained as the Eternal Tech Source went into the Core of Light as a big tech orb encircling clockwise and a small tech orb encircling counterclockwise, appeared while both having glowing green lines on them, causing the glowing green goo in the vines underground to glow through them with the golden gears on the vines and in the outer ring of the core to turn as the outer ring spun clockwise.
"Impressive." Sonata noted.
"That was awesome! Oh! I just remembered something!" Mikey gasped as he brought out the Legendary Treasure he and his team got from the trolls.
"Wow! The Royal Lynx!" Boomer noticed.
"We found it in the tower Pinkie shot down." Mikey informed.
"Wow! Maybe we can give it to Rarity as a present!" Pinkie smiled as Sonata and Mikey couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Meanwhile, at Kaos’ Kastle, Kaos and Glumshanks saw what happened as the troll was writing stuff down on a tablet of stone.
"You know, Glumshanks, despite your colossal failures, exemplified by you muttonheadedly losing the Eternal Tech Source, I am feeling particularly optimistic. And do you know why?" Kaos smiled.
"No." Glumshanks responded before he noticed a fly.
"Because the Darkness is becoming even more powerful! It’s spreading all over Skylands! Soon, no one will be able to stop it! Hahahahaha!" Kaos laughed.
"Uh-huh." Glumshanks simply responded while still eying the fly before it landed on Kaos' head.
"You know what they say; Red skies in the morning, Skylanders take warning." Kaos boasted as Glumshanks readied to squish the fly with stone tablet.
"Hmm, no one actually says that." Glumshanks pointed out as Kaos laughed before the fly flew into his mouth, making him choke as he fell off the portal window.
"I swallowed a bug!" Kaos hoarsely said as Glumshanks just shook his head at that.

Pinkie came over to Sonata, who finished finding out who Burpy was.
"Okay, after careful research... I don't have the slightest clue about what this thing is." Sonata informed.
"Oh." Pinkie noted.
"But I can't help but feel something familiar, so I'll keep finding out after our next mission." Sonata added.
"Okay, that's fair." Pinkie shrugged.
"Anyway, let’s meet up with Mikey, T-Bone, Hugo and the others." Sonata said.
"Right behind you." Pinkie agreed as the four headed over to the others.
"I see. Do you know where to find the Skeleton Key?" Hugo asked.
"Well, yeah. Some zombie bullies borrowed it and never returned it yeah ha ha you know, like they do. But if we put our heads together I mean uh figuratively we could get it back no problem. *To Mikey* Whaddya say?" T-Bone responded.
"Who's coming with?" Mikey called out.
"I’m in, mon." Zook answered.
"I’m coming along." Warnado added.
"Same here." Voodood agreed.
"I shall accompany." Drill Sergeant volunteered.
"Me too." Wham-shell said.
"Bring it." Prism Break declared.
"We're ready, but everyone the Number 1 Rule of Zombies: Don't get bitten." Mikey pointed out.
"Well… seeing as how you did help me recover the rest of my body, I suppose I could help you out." T-Bone noted as Pinkie, Burpy, Inferno and Sonata showed up.
"We’re in." Pinkie nodded.
"You're bringing the baby?" T-Bone asked.
"He can stay with me, again." Sonic Boom said.
"Thanks, SB." Pinkie smiled.
"Don’t worry, we won’t be long." Sonata assured.
"CHECK! Let’s go! Tell ya the truth, I’ve been dying to get back to that crypt! Well, not actually DYING… but you get the picture…" T-Bone said as he opened the door.
"Okay, everyone stick together and don't panic." Mikey advised as the group followed T-Bone onto the staircase before the door closed behind them by itself.
"Just stay calm" Sonata reminded before the group soon came down a staircase of skeleton ribs as the reached the bottom and arrived at their location.
"Alrighty, the Skeleton Key is down here in this crypt somewhere. And don't you worry, I won't run out on ya this time." T-Bone said as Sonata withdrew her swords and readied herself for hand-to-hand combat.
"Hey, range attacks only. No close quarters." Mikey pointed out.
"You forget I have ranged attacks in this form too, Mikey." Sonata responded.
"Yeah and it's unstable without our weapons, remember?" Mikey said.
"Now isn't the time to worry about that, remember the Soul Gems? Sonata's is the reason she can fight with those gloves without her elemental powers going bonkers!" Pinkie replied.
"Alright, but don't get bit." Mikey requested.
"Don't worry. I won't." Sonata answered.
"We getting close, T-Bone?" Pinkie asked as she and the others were getting ahead of T-Bone.
"Just be sure you guys don't run too far ahead, or else..." T-Bone tried to warn before gates suddenly closed, cutting off the group from him. "...We might get separated. Welp, guess I'll just wait out here then..."
"That was annoying." Mikey sighed as the group noticed a lever and a cannon before seeing Rhu-Babies up ahead.
"Be on guard. They may be as strong as Chompies, but do not underestimate them." Chop Chop advised.
"Stone Wave!" Mikey shouted as the attack easily beat the two small enemies as Pinkie noticed a stone wall with wood on it in the front, left and right.
"Everyone stand back." Pinkie requested as everyone got clear of the radius. "Triple fire in the hole!" Pinkie shouted as she fired the cannon left, forward and right while using the lever to change its direction, taking out all three walls.
"Anything useful?" Sonata asked.
"Hmm… See a Soul Gem guarded by Spider Swarmers and Spitters on the right. A zombie and some candles up ahead. And a scroll guarded by Spider Swarmers and Spitters on the left." Pinkie listed.
"Just to clarify, anymore Skylanders that are brainwashed?" Mikey checked.
"Seven." Prism Break answered.
"Then we'll free them." Sonata declared as Pinkie came back with the scroll and Soul Gem, which had the face of a blue elf-like woman in a black suit.
"That looks like Hex." Chop Chop noticed.
"Now we only gotta go forward." Pinkie said before zombie-like arms suddenly smashed out from the walls.
Sonata took a deep, sharp breath as energy crackled through her before she punched the wall, sending in energy through it. "You Rotting Robbies should’ve thought twice before trying to attack from the walls! Sendo Hamon Overdrive!" Sonata shouted as she the energy she sent into the walls surged through them as the zombie arms suddenly melted and burned until not even ashes remained. The group moved forward as Flameslinger easily beat the Rotting Robbie before encountering more Rhu-Babies and a couple of Bone 'n' Arrows.
"Skeletal Grasp!" Pinkie yelled before skeletal arms emerged from underground as she smirked before they pulled off the enemy skeletons' legs, making them fall apart.
"Team power levels extremely high." Drill Sergeant noticed while firing drills.
"Yep." The Goofball Trio nodded.
"Just keep moving!" Zook urged while firing before doors on the side walls opened, revealing more Bone 'n' Arrows.
"Keep up the pressure!" Wham-Shell added as the group beat the enemy skeletons before they noticed a locked gate on the left and rails up ahead coming from the left.
"We got more zombies coming!" Mikey pointed out.
"Run left!" Pinkie yelled as everyone did so except Prism Break.
"Prism?" Mikey noticed.
"Go! I'll draw them away!" Prism assured.
"What?!" The Goofball Trio gasped before Prism Break fired his beams and got their attention.
"I'm right here!" Prism Break called out as he started leading the zombies away.)
"Come on! He'll be fine 'til we catch up to him!" Mikey said.
"Okay." Pinkie responded as everyone forged ahead, knowing Prism will be fine. The group pushed some stone blocks, making stone block bridges before they encountered an Undead Spell Punk turning a Rhu-Baby into a Rhu-Barb, a GIANT grown version of the small red enemy.
"I hate Spell Punks." Mikey groaned.
"Let's make it quick." Pinkie declared.
"Mirror Clones!" Sonata shouted as 3 Sonata mirror clones appeared. "Mystic Slash!"
The attack slashed the Rhu-Barb, beating it as Pinkie beat a Rhu-Baby before the Spell Punk could make it grow.
"Wham, let's smash that Punk!" Mikey declared.
"Heh, no need to tell me twice." Wham-Shell nodded as the duo slammed their weapons hard into the Spell Punk, beating it.
"Gotta love your job." Mikey smiled.
"Yeah." Wham-Shell agreed as the group moved forward, beating enemies while opening a treasure chest and obtaining Trigger Happy’s Soul Gem before finding a cannon. They soon pushed it onto a rotating circle as they turned it a full 180 before putting it back to the position where they found it, aimed at a weak wall this time.
"Hey, guys." Prism Break greeted.
"Prism! Good to see you again, bud!" Mikey said as Pinkie fired the cannon, destroying the wall.
"Thanks. I lost the Rotters, but I'm not sure for how long." Prism Break noted as Pinkie went ahead and found a floor button before pressing it, causing two gates to lower as she came back to the others.
"Let's go!" Pinkie declared.
"Agreed!" Flameslinger nodded as the group went back to the gate they first got into the area they were in from and went left before encountering Spider Swarmers and Bone ‘n’ Arrows.
"Burning Bone Ball!" Pinkie shouted as Drill Sergeant fired his rocket drill at her attack to give it more speed while Pinkie charged her attack before spinning around with her flail out.
"Torpedo away!" Drill Sergeant said.
"YA-HOO!!!" Pinkie whooped as the rocket drills made Pinkie's attack like an exploding bomb. SKULL BOMB!!!
"Teamwork makes victory. Friends are team." Drill Sergeant noted as Pinkie unleashed her attack, causing an explosion that defeated all enemies in the area.
"That's right." Pinkie agreed.
"Keep up the pressure!" Mikey said as the group moved forward, destroying a stone wall before heading left as Mikey and Prism went straight as the group destroyed another stone wall ahead of them before finding a cannon aimed at them, but saw no one manning it.
"Weird. That seems random." Sonata noticed as Pinkie pushed a cannon before firing it at a weak wall, revealing a lever guarded by Spider Swarmers and Spitters.
"Fire again!" Zook shouted before Pinkie did that as the cannonball defeated all of the enemies in the area.
"That probably hurt." Chop Chop noted as Pinkie pulled the lever, spinning a rotate area to match the track’s direction.
"That was simple." Mikey noted as Pinkie pushed the cannon before firing it at another wall, revealing another lever.
"That's it? A lever?" Sonata asked before Pinkie smiled as she pulled it, turning another rotate area and connecting it to the railway.
"Let's get pushing." Mikey said as the group pushed the cannon before Pinkie fired it, opening a path forward gates lowered.
"Let's get moving!" Sonata declared as the group moved forward and went right through an open gate before the one in front of them closed as doors opened with Rhu-Babies and an Undead Spell Punk coming out of them.
"Attack!" Mikey shouted as the group beat all of the Rhu-Babies before the Spell Punk could make any of them grow. "I love my job!"
"Definitely, but where were you and Prism?" Sonata asked.
"Oh, just finding stuff." Mikey snickered.
"Man, you guys get a lot of gold." Pinkie noticed.
"It ain't stealing if it's Kaos'." Warnado pointed out.
"Touche." Pinkie shrugged as the group went forward and the now open gate before encountering Bone ‘n’ Arrows.
"Zook, play mortar sniper!" Mikey ordered.
"Well, gotta predict where the target’ll be, mon." Zook explained.
"Leave that to me. Just shoot where point." Flameslinger assured as he directed his friend where to shoot and Zook nailed them all.
"Haha!" Zook laughed.
"Great work, pal!" Flameslinger smiled.
"GAH! One of those Bone ‘n’ Arrows got me!" Mikey yelled in fake pain before Pinkie and Sonata turned around, seeing a bone through the turtle's head as the two girls screamed before Mikey laughed. "Gotcha!" Mikey guffawed as he took the bone off his head, revealing it to be a bone hat before he pressed a button as the hat truly looked like a bent bone now, causing Pinkie and Sonata to laugh.
"Wow, Prankenstein! That was a good one!" Pinkie giggled.
"Yeah, we like to have fun with the hats, too." Flameslinger chuckled.
"Especially with the boosts they give, right?" Sonata added.
"Hehe, yeah." Wham-Shell nodded as Mikey tossed the hat to Pinkie, who caught and put it on her head.
"Whoo… I feel faster and my elemental powers stronger!" Pinkie cheered.
"After you." Chop Chop said as the group moved forward before they encountered more Bone ‘n’ Arrows guarding a normal key.
"We need that key." Mikey pointed out.
"Time to see how my Screaming Skull upgrade works." Pinkie wondered as her flail skull grew as she charged her attack. "Eat this!" Pinkie shouted as she released a giant Screaming Skull as it caused an ENORMOUS explosion after hitting the enemies, defeating the Bone 'n' Arrows as the gate in front of them lowered. "Whoa." Pinkie awed as she grabbed the key as the group moved forward, seeing a locked gate in front of them. "That was quick."
"But effective." Mikey added as Pinkie used the key to unlock the gate before opening it as the group moved forward, finding tracks, a cannon and Rhu-Babies that charged at them. "This is getting annoying!"
The group quickly defeated the small enemies before a Bone 'n' Arrow appeared.
"The key has to be close now." Sonata noted while she was swinging her swords.
"First, we gotta move the cannon to blow up a wall." Pinkie started as Sonata beat the enemy.
"Agreed." Drill Sergeant nodded as Pinkie moved the cannon onto the rotating platform before firing, blowing a wall open. Pinkie then pulled the lever three times, rotating the cannon 270 before firing again, blowing another wall open. Pink pulled the lever three more times before pushing it back and fired it, blowing up a third wall, revealing a treasure chest.
"Open it... Carefully." Mikey said as Pinkie just shook Burpie before the little guy let out a fire burp on the chest, turning it to ash while revealing all the treasure inside. "That also works."
"Only a few coins past the front gate, so we’ll go right." Pinkie informed.
"Affirmative." Drill Sergeant agreed as the group moved forward, finding another cannon with a wall in front of it before Pinkie fired, blowing the wall to smithereens.
"Can you stop doing that before this whole place caves in?!" Mikey pointed out as Pinkie pushed the cannon to a rotatable platform with a lever next to it.
"Nah, places like this are totally impossible to cave in, especially since there’s undead stuff." Pinkie informed as she pulled the lever, turning the cannon 90 to the left before firing it at a drawbridge, lowering it down, only to find a lot of Rotting Robbies past it. "Hey, at least we’re in the right direction."
"True." Sonata admitted.
"Let’s go, Burpy!" Pinkie declared as she shook Burpy before he let out a huge fire belch, incinerating all the zombies.
"Pinkie, take it easy with him." Mikey advised.
"Yeah, maybe we shouldn't bring him along for the next mission." Pinkie noted as Burpy just chirped. "The group moved forward, reaching an area before gates raised on all four sides, trapping them in as enemies came out.)"
"This should be fair." Sonata noted as she was twirling her left sword before Rhu-Babies rose out of the ground.
"Okay, that's timing." Mikey added before the group fought the enemies as the front gate soon opened, revealing a scarlet-robed Undead Spell Punk, responsible for the Rhu-Babies rising from the ground.
"Okay, let's go nuclear!" Pinkie declared while spinning her flail before Burpy let out a fire burp on Pinkie's flail, covering it in green flames without damaging it in the slightest. "Cool, power boost."
"CHARGE!" Mikey roared.
"Mikey, that Spell Punk's the only enemy right now." Sonata deadpanned.
"Sorry, got carried away." Mikey apologized before Pinkie attacked the spell punk, easily beating it as she picked up some large valuable treasure bars.
"Let’s head back into that area, maybe there’s more coming so another gate could open when we beat them." Pinkie wondered.
"Sensor confirms it." Drill Sergeant responded as the group went back into the area before the gate raised behind them before Bone 'n' Arrows, Rhu-Babies and an Undead Spell Punk appeared.
"Take them down!" Mikey saidf before they noticed another Undead Spell Punk accompanied by another scarlet one. "Oh jeez... Might need to use my Woodquake again."
"Get clear!" Wham-Shell called out as Mikey pounded his hammer into the ground, causing earth pillars and trees to erupt and beat all of the enemies in one strike, tiring out Mikey.
"Easy, Mikey." Pinkie advised.
"We got you." Sonata assured.
"Thanks." Mikey said in gratitude before the left gate lowered.
"Let's just hope this is it." Sonata noted.
"I got it." Pinkie assured as she walked left before she stopped at feeling the earth rumble when a skeleton key erupted from underneath. "Jackpot!" Pinkie cheered as she took the key and went back to the others. "Now let’s get back to T-Bone."
The group soon made it back to the entrance as they met up with T-Bone while having the Skeleton Key.
"Wow! You found the Skeleton Key! This’ll open the gates to the Creepy Citadel… HEY! But it also does this!" T-Bone informed as he grabbed the key before screwing his head onto the top of it, making his skull like a handle. "Amazing, huh? Comes in pretty handy looking through keyholes. HAHHHAHHAHAHA! Oh yeah, heh heh, save that for later."
"Glad Jack never did that." Sonata admitted.
"Come on, let’s head back to the Core Ruins." Pinkie giggled as everyone else agreed and headed back.
Soon, the group returned to the Ruins.
"Okay, top floor, ladies lingerie, house wares, Land of the Living." T-Bone commented like a bellhop.
"GAH! Good gracious! What’s your head doing attached to that key?" Hugo asked.
"Well uh heh heh it IS a “skeleton” key. Buh-duh-duh!" T-Bone punned with a rimshot before Pinkie and Sonata embarrassingly whacked him.
"That's for the lingerie remark." Pinkie and Sonata snarled.
"Dude, ya gotta work on your comedy." Mikey deadpanned.
"Anyway, with that all outta the way, we can leave for the Creepy Citadel anytime you guys are ready. What do you think?" T-Bone asked.
"Not yet." Pinkie answered.
"Okeee. Guess I’ll just stand here with my head attached to this key." T-Bone noted.
"Good." Pinkie smiled as Burpy chirped. "You come, too." Pinkie offered as Burpy chirped in a "Really?" manner.
"What is that thing?" Sonata wondered as she tried to figure it out.

Creepy Citadel
Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
Pinkie was feeding Inferno when Burpy waddled up to her.
"Well, I’m close to figuring out what Burpy is. Huh? What’re you feeding Inferno?" Sonata asked as she arrived.
"Beats me. Just some baby food Sonic Boom fed her kids. Before you ask, it's not regurgitated." Pinkie informed.
"Good, ‘cause I don’t think even YOU have the stomach to do that." Sonata sighed in relief.
"Relax, it's just some mashed up vegetables. So, what's up Sonata." Sonic Boom asked while flying.
"It’s not gonna be long now before I figure out what Burpy is." Sonata answered.
"At least he's harmless." Pinkie added.
"Come on! Let’s get ready!" Spyro said while flying by.
"Honey, our time for a fight!" Terrafin called out.
"Oh, I see." Sonic Boom noted.
"Don't worry, Pinkie. I can babysit." Sirena volunterred.
"Thanks, Sirena." Pinkie said in gratitude.
"Everyone ready?" T-Bone checked.
"Anyone else coming along?" Mikey asked.
"I'm coming." Slam Bam answered.
"Boomer come too!" Boomer added.
"ATTABOY, BUDDY!" Mikey cheered.
"I suppose I’ll come along as well." Stealth Elf volunterred as Sonata smiled that her loyal friend was coming.
"We’re all good to go!" Pinkie informed.
"Now you’re talking! We should have our bony hands on the Eternal Undead Source in no time. Well, my and Chop Chop’s bony hands anyway cuz, you know… skeleton. Yeah." T-Bone said before opening the door as he went into the spiral staircase with everyone braving the darkness and moved forward after him when the door then closed behind them as they soon reached the bottom of the bone staircase. "Welp, there’s the Creepy Citadel where the Eternal Undead Source rests in peace. Heh-he. Okay, lemme see if I remember… First, you’ll enter the Castle through the Main Gate. Then… After you fight your way through the castle, you’ll go to that Gateway over there. Then, if you play your cards right you’ll find the Eternal Undead Source. HA! Easy!"
"Thanks, T. You better get out of here. We can handle it." Mikey smiled.
"Oh here, let me get the gate." T-Bone remembered before he inserted the Skeleton Key as he grabbed his skull and turned the key clockwise three times before the gate lowered as he pulled the Skeleton Key out with his skull. "And don’t worry, I’ll be right behind you. And by that I mean right here. Hahahhhahha. Good luck!"
"Huh? There’s already a scroll to our right?" Pinkie noticed.
"What's it say?" Spyro asked as Pinkie picked it up and read it before giggling as she looked at the Skylanders with a mischievous smirk.
"A Battle Cry contest every year with the most frightening one and the best at making milk shoot out of other people’s noses win?" Pinkie snickered as the Skylanders were caught off guard by that.
"I know, it's silly." Spyro admitted as Mikey and Sonata stifled their giggles at that.
"Let's get going." Slam Bam declared as the group started moving forward before encountering Spider Spider Spitters and a Bone ‘n’ Arrow.
"This will be easy. Stone Wave!" Mikey shouted.
"Tidal Slash!" Sonata yelled.
"Burning Bone Ball!" Pinkie roared as all three attacks amazingly fused together and destroyed their enemies like a bomb
"HAHAHA! Boom-boom!" Boomer laughed.
"What was that?" Sonata asked.
"I think it was an Elemental Overcharge." Mikey noted.
"Huh?" Pinkie noted.
"Let's get inside and worry about it later." Flameslinger pointed out
"Drawbridge up ahead, and looks like a light beam puzzle we'll need to solve to lower it." Slam Bam called out as Sonata spotted a whirlpool and got an idea.
"You all go ahead. Me and Slam Bam will catch up." Sonata smiled.
"Okay?" Mikey said in confusion.
"Good luck." Pinkie added as Sonata and Slam Bam dove into the water while everyone solved the puzzle.
"The drawbridge is down!" Stealth Elf informed.
"Let's get inside." Mikey nodded as the group crossed the drawbridge, finding another puzzle along with more enemies.
"I got the lock! Just cover me!" Stealth Elf requested.
"Right! Sonic Boom, help her with anything just in case!" Pinkie ordered as Stealth Elf pulled a lever, changing a crystal’s direction.
"Okay!" Sonic Boom replied as the crystal was now beaming the light beam to another crystal before Stealth Elf and Sonic Boom used a teleporter, going to another area as they pushed buttons and moved blocks.
"Okay boys, who's first?!" Mikey quipped while twirling his hammer as he and everyone else kept the enemies busy while the girls dealt with the lock.
"Just about done." Stealth Elf said as Sonic Boom noticed an odd gate. "Soni, focus!"
"Right!" Sonic Boom nodded as the two girls soon got the lock undone, solving the puzzle as the light beams caused the pair of drawbridges to lower as the others beat the enemies.
"Girls, hurry back to us! We'll try and clear a path!" Mikey urged while fighting off ghouls when the two got back to the group as they crossed the bridges before encountering a Shadow Knight.
"Tidal Slash!" Sonata's voice echoed thrice as she erupted from the water with mirror clones before they sliced the Shadow Knight to pieces. Slam Bam then jumped out of the water, catching up with Sonata. "Took you guys long enough."
"Where were you?" Pinkie asked.
"Using the back door." Sonata answered.
"GET DOWN!" Slam Bam showed when he pinned Sonata and Pinkie down, dodging the horizontal swinging blade pendulums as they stopped for a few seconds after hitting a wall.
"Thanks, Slam." Pinkie smiled.
"Let's move when they stop. And when that sickle vice opens." Sonata planned.
"Okay, everyone move carefully." Mikey agreed.
"Right." Spyro sighed.
"You okay?" Sonata asked while dodging.
"Cynder could get through this effortlessly." Spyro sadly answered.
"Don't take this the wrong way... But we should be worried about Hex." Flameslinger pointed out.
"As a fellow elf, I agree." Stealth Elf nodded.
"If Kaos had used her for evil..." Boomer noticed.
"Hey, let's focus on getting through right now." Pinkie responded as everyone agreed and started dodging all the pension traps before they ran into more enemies, including a Shadow Knight that revealed itself.
"Ambush!" Mikey shouted.
"Form a circle! Attack and defend!" Sonata ordered.
"Let's go!" Pinkie urged as everyone formed a circle and attacked before the enemies came at them.
"Daybringer Flame!" Spyro roared as his attack cleared a way through.
"Everyone, moved forward!" Mikey said as the group moved past spinning floor circles and traps before encountering more enemies and a Gargantula.
"We don't have time for this! Skeletal Grasp!" Pinkie yelled as she destroyed the enemies easily. "We're pressed for time, people! Move!"
"You okay, Pinkie?" Sonata asked as the group moved forward before encountering Bone ‘n’ Arrows and a Shadow Knight.
"Every second we waste is more time Kaos has poisoning Skylands with darkness." Pinkie angrily responded while attacking the enemies.
"You sure you good? ‘Cause you’re starting to sound like Raph." Mikey noticed while hammering enemies.
"Soni, this a mother's wrath?" Sonata wondered while slicing her foes.
"Yeah, but she doesn’t know it yet, since she’s a bit of an airhead." Sonic Boom giggled.
"I heard that!" Pinkie shouted.
"Little Air Skylander humor." Sonic Boom shrugged off.
"Bottom line, it's okay to be worried Pinkie." Mikey said as he swung his hammer.
"Yes, but don't lose control of yourself. Believe me, I know." Sonic Boom advised.
"Thanks." Pinkie responded in gratitude as the group beat the enemies.
"Companions, over here!" Chop Chop called out as the group went down, only to see tons of immovable block-like creatures before Pinkie noticed a button in front of one.
"Start pushing.' Pinkie simply said as she stepped on the button, causing five creatures in front of her in a straight line from left to right go underground, revealing two more buttons. "Keep moving them." Pinkie added as she pressed the button on the right, causing five creatures in a + formation to go underground, revealing a pressure plate before the party girl saw a block to push onto it.
"This is annoying." Mikey sighed as Pinkie pushed the block onto the pressure plate, pressing it down, causing two creatures in a front and back line go underground. Soon, the rest of the buttons were pressed, leaving only two creatures left, and fortunately, they weren’t in the way.
"Okay, double time it!" Sonata urged as the group moved forward only to encounter Spider Swarmers and Gargantulas.
"BRING THE BOOM!" Boomer let out his battle cry while bringing a triple-bundle dynamite out before throwing it, setting off an explosion that damaged one of the Gargantulas while Terrafin and Flameslinger doubled team the other.
"I bring the pain..." Terrafin started off while punching.
"I make arrows rain!" Flameslinger finished as the two friends' Earth and Fire attack destroyed the monster before Sonic Boom grabbed a Soul Gem.
"Healer's back in business after this." Sonic Boom smiled as she was holding Whirlwind's Soul Gem.
"Good. Now let's get the Undead Source." Mikey said as the group moved forward while dodging traps before encountering Moon Widows and two Shadow Knights. "Stone Wave!" Mikey roared as he sent out his attack while Sonic Boom unleashed a loud scream, with the stone breaking the stones and fired them off as shards and destroyed the enemies.
"Huh. Guess opposite elements CAN work together." Sonic Boom smiled.
"Don't forget your vine attacks and mossy stone shields, Mikey." Pinkie added.
"It's just an instinct to use my Earth attack." Mikey shrugged.
"Remember, be strong and calm like the forest." Pinkie reminded, quoting Master Splinter.
"Everyone, the Eternal Undead Source!" Chop Chop said as the group moved forward while beating more Shadow Knights, Moon Widows, Bone 'n' Arrows. They then got a treasure chest open and got the loot inside before dodging traps and beating two more Shadow Knights before finding a stone block maze with hidden buttons, traps and a hidden light beam puzzle.
"I'm starting to hate this place!" Mikey groaned.
"You'll get used to stuff like this." Terrafin assured.
"Forward, friends." Chop Chop panted in exhaustion.
"Hmm… Probably gonna need to refuel." Pinkie noticed.
"I'm fine." Chop Chop insisted as the group got through the maze while dodging traps and solving the light beam puzzle, opening a gate.
"Let's go!" Sonata said.
"Oh! There's some food we can heal up with!" Pinkie wondered.
"Take it to go." Sonata advised.
"You sure? Look up ahead." Pinkie pointed out as there were Moon Widows, Shadow Knights and a Bone 'n' Arrow. "Better heal up right now."
"Okay, we'll cover you!" Sonata assured as Pinkie grabbed the food and pocketed them in her hair.
"Let’s move!" Pinkie urged as everyone charged into battle and attacked hard. Soon, the group beat the enemies and got to the Gateway as Pinkie panted. "Okay, let's take five and heal up."
"Go ahead." Mikey agreed as the group took a break and healed up from eating the food that Pinkie got. "Everyone ready?"
"Ready." The rest of the heroes nodded as the group got onto the gateway before they were suddenly teleported to some kind of rooftop arena in the mouth of a giant winged bony statue.
"Whoa!" Mikey gasped.
"If this doesn’t scream “Undead,” I dunno what does." Pinkie noted.
"Amen to that, sister." Sonata agreed before the group noticed something was building in the air and knew what was coming next.
"Pinkie, got any earplugs?" Mikey asked.
"Any reason why?" Pinkie responded.
"Kaos' voice." Mikey answered.
"Right." Pinkie answered before Kaos suddenly appeared.
"Well well well! I guess you thought you were just going to walk in here and take the Eternal Undead Source, eh? EH?" Kaos taunted.
"Well, we're scoring 5-0. Best make it 6." Spyro fired back.
"WELL YOU THOUGHT WRONG! HAHAHA! NOW, you’re going to pay for meddling in my plans! MINION!" Kaos called out as a skeletal ghost appeared with a spiked ball ‘n’ chain for a tail.
"Ghost Roaster!" Terrafin gasped,
"Now THAT’S a skeleton ghost!" Pinkie noticed as Ghost Roaster started attacking.
"Any weaknesses this guy has would be useful to know?" Mikey asked while dodging.
"Keep dodging until after the third Skull Charge!" Chop Chop advised.
"That's it?!" Sonata gasped as the group dodged the third attack before Ghost Roaster laughed spookily, leaving himself wide open.
"Nail him!" Mikey shouted as everyone hit Ghost Roaster hard, with the combined attacks were enough to knock his head off before that and Ghost Roaster’s body vanished, leaving behind some cake.
"Ooh! Cake!" Pinkie smiled.
"That was terrifying." Mikey said.
"He was an Undead Skylander, whaddya expect?" Pinkie shrugged while eating the cake.
"BAH! He means nothing! You still won’t be leaving the land of the Undead! Ever! Again!" Kaos said.
"I hate his voice." Sonata groaned.
"I SUMMON, MY EVIL UNDEAD SPELL OF DESTRUCTION!!!" Kaos shouted, causing the Eternal Undead Source appeared as he used it, causing ghostly spirits to fly around the arena.
"Bud Boulder." Mikey called out as a stone barrier appeared with flower shells as a white laser beam appeared, stopping against the barrier before it turned red, starting to damage the barrier. "It's holding."
The laser vanished before more beams appeared as the group started dodging them. Laser beams appeared and disappeared in various patterns, making it somewhat hard to avoid them, especially with the last group of lasers aiming at them while they dodged before the spirits faded.
"Huh. No matter. Plenty more where that came from." Kaos shrugged off.
"Cheap trick." Mikey scoffed.
"How about another Evil Undead Minion to round things out! Get ready for a real blast from the past, Spyro!" Kaos taunted as a dragoness appeared.
"Cynder, snap out of it!" Spyro called out before Cynder roared as she breathed out spectral lightning at the group before everyone dodged when Spyro just charged at Cynder. But then Cynder became a shadow on the ground as she dashed through/under Spyro as ghosts rose up and attacked him before she came out of the ground, allowing Spyro to tackle Cynder while she was thrashing to get free. "Cynder, I know you're in there. Look at me."
But then Spyro’s claws started turning black as Kaos smirked.
"Spyro, get off her!" The Goofball Trio screamed.
"Cynder, just look at me!" Spyro called out as Cynder started calming down
"Spy... Ro?" Cynder lightly gasped when Spyro’s legs started turning black as Kaos’s smirk grew before the Goofball trio tackled Spyro off Cynder.
"What were you thinking dude?! Kaos was counting on you to go after her!" Mikey pointed put when Spyro's corruption just stopped as Cynder started acting more dazed than controlled.
"It's me, Cynder. You know this isn't you." Spyro said before the black completely returned to Cynder as her glowing white eyes glared at the heroes, followed by her vanishing into the shadows, having retreated.
"Mwahahhahha! You may be wondering why I’m laughing. BECAUSE, I know you can’t keep this up. SOON, you will make a mistake, and then this will all be over!" Kaos laughed.
"Not likely." Spyro growled.
"NOW! I, KAOS, SUMMON MU PARTICULARLY EVIL UNDEAD SPELL OF TOTAL DESTRUCTION!!" Kaos roared while using the Eternal Source again as the group were dodging rotating, spinning, still and targeting groups of lasers before the spirits faded again. "Ha. Ha. Ha. I’m still laughing here. HA! See? There’s another one."
"Pinkie, I need a mirror!" Flameslinger requested, having a feeling of who was next.
"NOW, you face an even more powerful Undead Minion! ATTACK!" Kaos ordered as a blue elf in black clothing appeared.
"Got a plan, Sling?" Mikey asked.
"Just get her to see her reflection!" Flameslinger answered.
"Watch out for Hex's skulls and her bone walls!" Stealth Elf informed as Hex started shooting magical skulls at the group.
Pinkie gave Flameslinger a mirror as he rushed at her. "Hex, look at yourself!"
But then Hex raised a bone wall, sending Flameslinger flying back as well as the mirror before it was about to shatter on the ground, followed by her vanishing as Stealth Elf caught the mirror.
"That was WAY too close!" Stealth Elf sighed in relief.
"Oh come on! Really?!? Really?!?!" Kaos growled.
"Release my fellow Undead Skylanders!" Chop Chop ordered.
"FINE! I didn't want to do this. SCRATCH THAT! I TOTALLY WANT TO DO THIS! NOW, I SUMMON MY ULTIMATE EVIL UNDEAD SPELL OF COMPLETE AND UTTER DESTRUCTION!" Kaos roared, using the Eternal Source again as the group dodged spinning, still, random, and slow-moving lasers before the spirits again faded. "WHATTTT!!?????? But how can this be? You are NOTHING! Specs! Worms! Interlopers!"
"He's annoying." Mikey sighed.
"And now you're about to become EX-INTERLOPERS! Because, there's no way you can stand up to ALL THREE MINIONS at once! ATTACK!" Kaos ordered as the three Undead Skylanders reappeared, fully healed and recharged.
"I'll handle Cynder. Stealth will handle Hex, and the rest of you handle Ghost Roaster." Spyro said as Stealth rushed at Hex, dodging her attacks.
"Hex, look at yourself!" Stealth Elf pointed out as Hex was about to attack, but froze with glaring eyes while the green was holding the mirror right in front of her face. "See? This isn't you." Stealth Elf said while holding the mirror as Hex's glare started to soften. "Remember, your curse doesn't dictate you. You told me that." Stealth reminded, causing Hex to start backing off as she held her head and screamed in pain before soon falling unconscious. "Hex."
"Cynder, come on. It's me, Spyro." Spyro said while pinning Cynder down as his scales started turning black. "Think about how you changed. Everything we've been through. I know you can hear me." Spyro added as Cynder started holding her head in pain and growled while Spyro’s wings, tail, spines and horns started turning silver. "Cynder, I love you." Spyro finished before Cynder roared as an explosion of light erupted from the two dragons, and when that light faded, Spyro and Cynder were back to normal while the dragoness was unconscious.
"Keep hammering him!" Sonata said.
"Let's go!" Mikey agreed as everyone nailed Ghost Roaster hard and right into the wall, causing his jaw to drop,, then the rest of his head, knocked unconscious before the lasers faded away.
"IMPOSSIBLE!!!" Kaos yelled out.
"Not for us." Pinkie smirked.
"Take the Eternal Undead Source! But I promise you, SOON! You WILL regret this!" Kaos vowed before vanishing as the Eternal Undead Source lowered to the group when Chop Chop suddenly dropped his sword and shield and collapsed in pain and exhaustion.
"Chop Chop!" Mikey panicked before what seemed to be half of a Soul Gem floated down.
"Huh. That’s weird." Pinkie noted.
"Doesn't matter! Chop's hurt and we have to get him back to the core!" Mikey urged as Sonata grabbed the Eternal Undead Source before she and everyone else in the area found themselves back at the skeleton staircase.
"Mikey, set Chop Chop on my back." Spyro volunteered.
"What about Cynder?" Mikey pointed out.
"I got her." Sonata answered.
"Thanks, Nata." Spyro smiled as Sonata managed to get Cynder onto her back.
"But what’s your history with her?" Sonata asked.
"Let's just go back." Spyro insisted before the group started going back up the skeleton spiral staircase as they soon arrived at the Core of Light Ruins.
"Stealth..." Hex weakly said.
"Rest easy, Hex." Stealth Elf advised before the Eternal Undead Source started flying into the air.
"Thanks for being my best friend." Hex smiled.
"Hey, she-elves stick together, right?" Stealth Elf smiled back.
"Right." Hex agreed with a small giggle before Master Eon's spirit appeared.
"Give us the info, Master E." Mikey requested.
"Skylands is growing darker, young friends, but now you three and the Skylanders have brought back the Eternal Undead Source and its power to the Core of Light." Master Eon informed as the Eternal Source flew into the darkness of the Core of Light underground before ghastly smoke spirits erupted from the magma, flying upward and emerged from the mouth of the Skull Mask, flying around the machine before becoming an eerie circling grayish-purple mist.
"Screech, Scream, Shout... Wake up Uncle Chop Chop." Sonic Boom said to her three kids as they got ready.
"Wait, your kids have names?" Spyro asked.
"What makes you think they didn't?" Sonic Boom deadpanned.
"You never told us their names." Spyro answered.
"Now, back to figuring Burpy out." Sonata said as the griffon trio screamed, waking up Chop Chop.
"Gyah!" Chop Chop yelped as he flinched, knocking his shield painfully onto Cynder's tail, making her wince as she started coming to, but fired her lightning breath at Ghost Roaster on a defensive reflex.
"Hey!" Ghost Roaster said.
"What... What happened?" Cynder asked.
"A lot, you three." Pinkie simply answered.
Meanwhile, at the arena where the Eternal Undead Source used to be, red eyes gleamed in the shadows. "Finally, I'm back, and out of that weak purple dragon's body. Now I'll make sure that him and his pathetic little friends the true strength of the Darkness!"

Next Time on Equestria Ninja Girls...
Darklight Crypt
Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
"Okay, almost figured you out, Burpy." Sonata noted as Spyro finished telling Pinkie and Mikey about his past with Cynder.
"Whoa, deja vu." Mikey realized.
"That bites, Cyndy." Pinkie said while tickling Inferno as the griffin laughed.
"I know." Cynder sighed.
"You should totally meet Karai, you two would be awesome friends." Mikey noted.
"I'm not even sure I deserve friends..." Cynder lamented.
"Don't think like that, Cyndy." Spyro pointed out.
"So this is your best friend?" Sonata asked Stealth Elf.
"Yes, mistress." Stealth confirmed.
"Hex is my name. Thank you for having my friends' back." Hex said.
"Reminds me of Shini." Sonata noted before Eon suddenly appeared.
"What up, Master E?" Mikey asked.
"Greetings, young friends. The ghostly denizens of the afterworld need your help. The undead are running amok, they are literally up in arms. You must find a way to restore their peaceful rest. Be brave, your adventure in the Darklight Crypt awaits!" Master Eon explained while on the tiny island to the left of the ruins, a giant pair of skeleton arms and hands emerged before digging into the ground, sinking under as a giant crypt erupted in its place when its doors suddenly opened, allowing bats to fly out of it.
"Okay, while our team is busy I want everyone else looking for the rest of the Eternal Sources." Mikey said.
"Hey! I’m coming along here!" Ghost Roaster pointed out.
"Me, too." Zap agreed.
"I will light the darkness!" Lightning Rod added.
"My circuits are ready." Drobot nodded.
"Same here." Voodood agreed.
"I'll go, too." Stealth Elf volunteered.
"No, I want you to look after your friend." Sonata responded.
"Are you sure?" Stealth Elf asked.
"Don’t worry, I’ll help ‘em drop the hammer on any enemies." Stump Smash assured.
"Please, Hex needs you right now." Sonata added.
"…Okay, mistress." Stealth Elf replied.
"Sling, you're looking a bit tired. You can hang back if you want." Mikey suggested.
"No. I’m not sitting back on the sidelines." Flameslinger pointed out.
"I'll go, too. Don't worry, pal. I'll hang back and defend you." Terrafin said.
"Heh, thanks." Flameslingers chuckled.
"I'll help. I should at be able to make you well enough to fight." Whirlwind noted as she fired rainbows at Flameslinger, and with her new Soul Gem ability usable, they healed the Elven fully. "Good luck."
"Thanks, Whirl." Zap smiled.
"Let's get moving!" Mikey said while Inferno and Burpy stayed with Sonic Boom as the Goofball Trio and the selected Skylanders went to the building before going inside it when the doors suddenly closed.
"It's okay, Ferny, Auntie Sonic Boom will take good care of you." Sonic Boom assured while Inferno whimpered a bit, worried for Pinkie's safety before the whole building started rumbling as it sank down into the ground.
"I'm not liking this ride!" Pinkie shuddered as the rumbling soon stopped as the doors opened, and when the group came out, the scenery was surprising pleasant and sunny.
"Okay... What's wrong with this picture?" Sonata noticed before Pinkie smelled something, causing her to sigh in bliss with a delighted shiver.
"I know that smell anywhere! Pie!" Pinkie realized when she ran off with Ghost Roaster following her before they arrived at a rather large gate with a small bakery in front of it.
"Dro, scan the area for... Anyone." Mikey said before the bakery door opened, revealing a baker mole as he seemed to recognize Ghost Roaster a bit.
"Blueberry-cream-pie! Is that you, Olav?" The baker mole gasped.
"Eh? *Notices mole* What the? Batterson?" Ghost Roaster noticed.
"Friend of yours?" Mikey asked.
"Yeah, before I was a skeletal ghoul. Batterson passed through the mountain-top village I used to live in." Ghost Roaster explained.
"Huh, small world." Sonata noted.
"Anywho, I'm so glad you're here." Batterson added in relief.
"What's the situation?" Lightning Rod asked.
"I've been having a terrible time with my baking business. *As Pinkie ate a cherry pie with whipped cream and the cherry on top* I set up my bakery just outside of this undead town because I figured who needs pies more than the Undead?" Batterson answered.
"No argument there." Ghost Roaster chuckled.
"And I was right! I started selling pies to lots of Ghost creatures. They liked them so my, that very soon they only ate my pies and stopped eating the brains of the living. It was a win-win situation!" Batterson smiled.
"Can't say it's not good for businesses." Mikey admitted.
"Uh-huh!" Pinkie nodded.
"...That is, until recently. Something happened and I don't know what. It's super scary in there. I know... I know... it doesn't look scary NOW, but in the Ghost World... *Sigh* sorry, it gets confusing around here. I'll show you what I mean." Batterson said as he only took a few steps past the bakery and his house before stopping at a golden and red platform with a yellow glow and a golden pillar that had a red button, golden wings and a sun symbol.
"Okay, here goes nothing." Mikey responded as he approached the button.
"These Spectral Shifting Platforms can switch you from the real world to the Ghost World, and back again." Batterson explained as Mikey pressed the button while stepping onto the center of the platform, completely changing the whole world as the gate, now looking different and more scary, opened. "Pretty neat, huh? See how that door is open in the Ghost World, but was closed in the real world? You’ll need to switch to and from the Ghost World to get past obstacles. So… if it’s a scary monster in the Ghost World, switch back and you’ll be able to pass him in the real world. It’s not as hard as it seems. Just like following a recipe." Batterson added as the pies were now bone and skull pies, spooking Pinkie before she laughed from the sudden fright.
"I think we should proceed with caution on this mission." Sonata advised before the group noticed some Rhu-Babies. "Speaking of which."
"ACK! I’d better change things back!" Batterson yelped as the platform and pillar were now black and blue, with the pillar having a blue crescent moon and black bat wings. Batterson went onto the platform and pressed the button, switching everything back to the real world as the gates closed. "Whew, that’s batter! Er, I mean BETTER!"
"Let's get going. We got skulls to crack." Terrafin said as Sonata noticed two petunia bushes on pots at where the Rhu-Babies used to be.
"Anyway, the bank is gonna take my pie shop if I don’t get some sales and soon! Could you find out why the Ghosts have stopped eating my pies?" Batterson requested.
"You bet we will! AJ is gonna be so jealous missing this!" Pinkie saluted with a giggle.
"Into the breach!" Sonata declared as Mikey pressed the button, turning everything into the ghost world as the petunia bushes transformed into Rhu-Babies again.
"Oh, and those are Clipperz." Batterson explained.
"Rhu-Baby lookalikes, huh?" Mikey noted.
"They’re normal petunias in the real world, but in the Ghost World, they’re… you know." Batterson said.
"Tidal Slash!" Sonata shouted as she beat the two Clipperz without any effort.
"That was too easy." Flameslinger replied.
"Never mind that. Everyone, move onward." Sonata said as the group went past the gate and moved while beating some Clipperz along the way.
"Sensors dedicating large life form deep with in." Drobot informed before a giant floating eyeball appeared.
"Hello, I am Occulous! In case none of you had noticed yet, I’m a giant eyeball! And most of you aren’t ghosts. But here you are in the ghost world. Neat trick!" The eyeball introduced himself before vanishing.
"That was disgusting." Mikey gagged.
"Really? After we went to Halloween Town, that was gross?" Sonata deadpanned.
"Yes." Mikey answered.
"Could be creepier." Pinkie shrugged.
"At least we're not watching Aria eating a rat." Mikey said as Ghost Roaster noticed something.
"Hold on. *Floats off before returning with his Soul Gem* And I already have the Haunt upgrade from Persephone." Ghost Roaster explained.
"How's it work, Roast?" Mikey asked.
"I’ll explain when we get back. I also beat some Clipperz on the way." Ghost Roaster said.
"Come on, people! Double time!" Pinkie urged as Lightning Rod picked up Drobot so he can continue scanning.
"Much appreciated, my friend." Drobot said. But after the group moved forward, they encountered a Haunted Knight as Pinkie moved a block, making a bridge for the higher ground.
"This is creepy." Flameslinger admitted while aiming his bow.
"That's why we're best friends: You got my back and I got yours." Terrafin pointed out as the duo took out the enemy before they noticed the road ahead was blocked.
"Something tells me we better go back to reality, and speak of the devil." Sonata noticed as the group saw another Spectral Shifting Platform.
"This is seriously confusing." Mikey groaned.
"And yet you managed to make sense of Dimension X, Mikey." Pinkie giggled.
"You're joking, right?" Sonata asked.
"Hehe, can’t really argue with Pinkie on that. Skylands is like Dimension X." Mikey chuckled.
"Let's focus on problem." Voodood said.
"Right." Sonata nodded as she went onto the platform and pressed the button, setting everything back to the real world when the stones were now flesh beings floating overhead on chains.
"That's lucky." Mikey smiled as the group moved forward before noticing the beings being lowered the the group passes under them. So they kept going until they found another Spectral Shifting Platform.
"Anyone else notice the lack of enemies around here?" Pinkie noticed.
"That’s because we’re in the real world." Ghost Roaster answered.
"It's just weird there isn't even Chompies here." Pinkie answered as Ghost Roaster went onto platform and switched everything with the real world with a statue on it and another statue not far becoming Haunted Knights before Ghost Roaster went into Ectoplasm mode, phasing through them and back to the others before going out of that mode.
"Any enemies we need to worry about are here in the Ghost World." Ghost Roaster informed.
"Yeah Pinkie, we can relax in one world." Sonata agreed as Zap managed to defeat both Knights.
"Oh well, let’s go." Pinkie shrugged as the group went up the staircase, across stone bridges found a treasure chest and went past a gate before finding an imp lock puzzle on another gate.
"EEEK! There’s somebody in here with me and he’s creeping me out!!!" The Lockmaster Imp yelped.
"Alright, calm down. Give me a minute." Zap said as he got to work on the puzzle while looking through the keyhole, seeing a fire imp in there. "Ah, nuts. This will be tricky." Zap growled. Soon, Zap managed to solve the puzzle while keeping the Lockmaster Imp safe from the Fire Imp, causing the lock to explode and sending the two imps flying as the gate opened, revealing Clipperz and Haunted Knights up ahead. "Whoops."
"Fight enemies." Voodood said.
"Skeletal Grasp!" Pinkie shouted as the attack knocked out the Clipperz while holding the Haunted Knights in place.
"You're toast!" Mikey said while swinging his hammer as he wrecked the knights.
"We should be getting close." Zook noted as the group moved past a gate before Ghost Roaster used another platform, returning them to the real world as the get behind the group closed with a key lock.
"Looks like we have some blocks to push." Pinkie noted
"Leave it to me." Lightning Rod flexed before he started pushing blocks as the group moved forward before a bounce pad was revealed under one as Lightning Rod pushed said block.
"Danger approaching." Drobot informed as the group used the bounce pad before Lightning Rod pushed a block, clearing the way and seemingly made a bridge to what looked like a fire gate.
"Anyone have a fire extinguisher?" Mikey joked as Flameslinger approached the fire gate before it opened up, revealing a catapult with lava.
"We'll just be a second." Pinkie said as she and Flameslinger went onto the catapult before it launched them to a distant area as the catapult rearmed itself.
"Wherever they went, they're bound to find a teleporter back." Ghost Roaster noted.
"We better keep moving." Mikey said before Sonata grabbed a key as there was a gate in front of them, but had no key lock.
"Uh, where's the lock?" Sonata questioned.
"Remember the gate we got into this area from? That one had a lock." Ghost Roaster pointed out
"That's probably it." Sonata admitted as Lightning Rod pushed a block, clearing a path for the bounce pad.
"Enemy close." Voodood informed before group bounced to the gate as Sonata unlocked before a tree demon was seen.
"A Stump Demon, straight from a haunted forest." Stump Smash noticed.
"You're a lot better than them Stump." Mikey assured.
"Another one to our left." Stump Smash added.
"Everyone, divide and conquer." Mikey ordered as everyone split up and took out the Stump Demons before Sonata noticed some pie.
"Whaddya know. Talk about luck." Sonata quipped.
"Anyone else hungry?" Mikey asked.
"Dunno for sure dude, but we better keep our health up in case." Zap said.
"Bottoms up!" Mikey replied as the group split up the pie and ate it before they continued moving forward, making it last more creatures on chains being lowered before running into more Stump Demons, along with Chompies and Chompy Pods.
"Stand back, friends!" Lightning Rod called out while grabbing Drobot.
"Gatling mode, engaged!" Drobot said as his eyes and wing screws glowed blue.
"Hit the deck!" Mikey shouted as Drobot’s eyes and wings started blasting blue beams.
"Ha! You are no match for us!" Lightning Rod laughed while nailing the enemies while as the beams hit them, the projectiles exploded.
"Hey, watch the friendly fire!" Sonata yelped while dodging.
"My fault." Lightning Rod apologized.
"The enemies gone?" Mikey asked as everyone saw the enemies defeated. "I’ll take that as a yes.
"Dro, your eyes are smoking." Sonata noticed.
"Eye blasters… overheated… Cooldown… required…" Drobot groaned as Lightning Rod tied him to his back.
"Come on, people. We got an eye to poke out." Mikey quipped.
"Leave the jokes to me, Mikey." A familiar voice fired back as the group turned around and saw Pinkie and Flameslinger, but the party girl was wearing a chef’s hat.
"About time." Mikey said.
"Sorry if that took a bit." Pinkie apologized.
"But we're here." Flameslinger added as the group went under more chained creatures before the went up a staircase and walked across them before finding another platform as Sonata noticed two petunia bushes.
"What do we have here?" Sonata noticed while connecting her swords before slicing the two bushes into ribbons.
"Find something?" Mikey asked.
"Why not shift to the Ghost World and find out?" Sonata responded as Mikey did just that, causing the two sliced-up petunias to turn into already-beaten Clipperz.
"Huh? Out cold already? Maybe they're taking a nap?" Mikey said in confusion.
"Doubt it." Sonata replied before the group noticed a gate open next to the staircase they just went up.
"Strange." Voodood noted as the group went across the stone blocks and went through the gate before finding another Platform.
"And back to reality we go." Pinkie quipped.
"Man, this stuff makes me dizzy." Terrafin groaned.
"Clearly showing Sonic Boom is the brains in your family." Flameslinger teased before Terrafin playfully shoved his best friend. Pinkie pressed the button, returning everything to the real world as the stone blocks became more green creatures on chains as they were lifted and lowered in a pattern.
"This world loves it puzzles." Sonata noted.
"I know Twilight and Donnie are gonna be jealous." Mikey snickered as everyone forged ahead to their enemy. But after making it past the beings, they saw a cannon up above. "Uh-oh."
"Wait, I think that's a good thing." Pinkie realized as she went up the stairs to the cannon before firing, breaking the chains and letting the creatures fall, breaking bridge while making a new one. "Now we can get across the bridge and pass the gate in the Ghost World since there's no lockmaster imp in that lock in the real world."
Sonata noticed a suit of armor. "Stump, stay here with me for a minute."
"Huh?" Stump Smash asked in confusion.
"Mikey, hit it." Sonata ordered as Mikey crossed back over the bridge to the Platform and pressed the button, returning everything to the Ghost World as the suit of armor became a Haunted Knight. "Mystic Slash!" Sonata shouted as she immediately beat the Haunted Knight.
"That was clever." Stump Smash admitted as Pinkie immediately went to the lock puzzle and soon solved it, making it explode and send the lockmaster imp flying while the gate opened.
"Looks like a village up ahead." Pinki noticed.
"Everyone, stay alert and check your fire. There could be civilians here." Mikey warned.
"Literal ghost town, ‘member?" Pinkie deadpanned.
"Better safe than sorry. We're heroes, not vandals." Mikey reminded.
"Ghost dead ahead." Ghost Roaster said.
"Let's try diplomacy." Sonata advised as the group went past the gate and entitled the village, meeting up with the ghost.
"Hey! Are you pie salesmen? Oh please tell me you are!" Gallant pleaded as Pinkie brought out a pie.
"Hungry?" Pinkie offered as Gallant looked around, seeing nothing wrong, before gulping the bone and skull pie down in one bite.
"Thank you, I feel better now. But at least he didn’t see it. That evil eyeball came and outlawed all pies in this town. Just about the worst thing a person, er… or part of a person, could do." Gallant lamented.
"Don't worry. We're here to stop him. Which way did he go?" Sonata asked.
"It won’t be easy though. You’ll have to make your way through some kind of crazy maze to get to his lair. His name is Occulous and he showed up a little while ago. He doesn’t approve of pies. He also wants us to do terrible things to the Living. But none of us really want that. We just want to eat pie. Is that so wrong?" Gallant said.
"Not in the slightest!" Pinkie answered.
"Food belongs to everyone!" Mikey agreed as the group moved forward, only to find trees blocking the way.
"Hmm… Could be a Platform in that house next to it." Ghost Roaster wondered.
"First let's knock. Heroism is no excuse for rudeness." Pinkie advised.
"Doors already open." Marie pointed out.
"Oh. Okay" Pinkie shrugged as the group went inside the house, only to encounter Haunted Knights, four of them.
"Time for the Electric Slime!" Zap quipped as he slid forward on slime he's making while it was automatically being electrocuted, sliding through the Haunted Knights while shocking them.
"Stone Wave!" Mikey shouted as the attack knocked the Haunted Knights into the air.
"Burning Bone Ball!" Pinkie yelled as that last attack shattered the enemies. "Brainless golems."
"Another ghost." Ghost Roaster noticed.
"Sorry." Mikey noticed.
"Who is that stupid eyeball to tell me what I can and can’t eat?!? I don’t like eating brains! I don’t like most things but I did like those pies. Help us bring them back! If I could just get through his maze, I am sure I could take Occulous down myself but he’s got blocks that can only be moved in the real world." Nasty growled.
"Leave it to us." Pinkie assured as Ghost Roaster went to a Platform and pressed the button, returning everything to the real world before the ghost was suddenly gone.
"We got to help them." Mikey urged as the group went out of the house, running into four Stump Demons.
"Firewood, anyone?" Flameslinger quipped while aiming his arrows before firing three at once.
"I prefer smashed!" Terrafin replied while throwing punched as he pummeled the Stump Demons while Flameslinger's upgraded Hellfire arrows hit the enemies as well.
"Tidal Slash!" Sonata roared as she sliced the Stump Demons. "These guys are weak."
"We're getting stronger, 'member?" Pinkie reminded.
"I know." Sonata smiled as Pinkie's ears twitched, hearing something.
"Let's get back to the Ghost World." Pinkie said.
"So soon?" Mikey asked before Pinkie already dashed off into the house as everything went Ghost World before Pinkie came back out with a ghost appearing.
"Call it looking for hints." Pinkie said while everyone was confused but followed her anyway
"I can see Occulous' maze. It's really quite simple, for a non-ghost, that is." Arcane said.
"Thanks... I think." Sonata responded in confusion.
"Anything we need to know?" Pinkie asked.
"There are four keys needed. They're easy to spot but hard for us ghosts to pick up. Because we're ghosts. And we can't pick anything up. Some blocks can be moved. Others cannot and are just there to fake you out. The only way to tell is to touch them." Arcana informed.
"This is annoying." Mikey groaned.
"Helpful though. Thanks." Pinkie smiled as shedashed off into a different house before coming back out and into the house that has the Platform as everything returned to the real world before Pinkie zipped back to the different house before returning with a treasure chest. "I solved a lock puzzle before switching things back. Now let's get to that maze."
"I stink at mazes." Sonata groaned.
"Easy solution to that, stick together." Mikey advised.
"Mapping maze now. Calculating best path, complete." Drobot said before the group got to the maze as they saw a key at the top of the lighthouse while pushing blocks and noticing a locked gate ahead of them.
"Drobot, can you find the keys?" Lightning Rod asked, but before Drobot could answer, the group ran into Chompies and Chompy Pods.
"This will be easy." Zap smirked as the group beat the enemies before continuing to move forward, reaching the lighthouse and ascended it, reaching the key.
"Sweet." Mikey smiled as he grabbed the key and everyone made their way back. The group soon reached the gate they saw earlier as Mikey used the key to unlock and open it, revealing three suits of armor and a Platform before the group noticed a gate further ahead with three locks.
"Keys located. Split up advised." Drobot said as Sonata sliced up the three suits of armor.
"Okay, the three of us will get the keys. The rest of you, hold this position." Sonata said.
"But who?" Mikey asked.
"You, me, and Pinkie." Sonata answered.
"Really? Isn’t that a bit obvious?" Mikey deadpanned.
"You asked." Sonata pointed out.
"Oh." Mikey noted as the trio spread out to get the keys for the lock. Ghost Roaster pressed the button, reverting everything to the Ghost World as the bushes became thorns. "Ow!"
Pinkie pushed a block many different directions while beating two Haunted Knights before making it fall into a pit, making a bridge. "Nice!" Pinkie cheered as Ghost Roaster then reverted everything back to the real world.
"Next time warn us when you're going to do that!" Mikey shouted
"Sorry." Ghost Roaster apologized.
But while the Ghost World was active earlier, Sonata got past a gate before beating four Haunted Knights and found another Platform. And when Ghost Roaster turned it back to the real world, Sonata beat a Stump Demon before finding a teleporter. Sonata went on the teleporter before finding herself in another area, spotting a key guarded by two Stump Demons. "Mirror Copy!" Sonata shouted as a copy of her appeared. "Mystic Slash!" Both of them yelled as the two beat the enemies as the real Sonata grabbed the key before she started pushing a block as Pinkie grabbed a key.
"I got a key!" Pinkie called out.
Meanwhile, Mikey beat some Stump Demons, got a treasure chest, a key and a pie. "I got money."
"A key too?" Pinkie asked as Mikey met up with the others at the gate.
"Yep." Mikey answered.
"That just leaves Sonata." Pinkie noted.
"I'm right here." Sonata informed.
"Got the key?" Mikey asked.
"You bet." Sonata nodded.
"Perfect. Let's go!" Pinkie declared as the Goofball Trio unlocked the gate and opened it before they and the Skylanders saw a bridge up ahead blocked by creatures that started parting, opening up their path.
"Whoa..." Zap awed.
"Time to move!" Pinkie urged.
"Charge!" Mikey roared as the group moved forward, reaching a ringular battlefield with Occulous in the middle.
"So you made it through my maze, huh? Well, I guess it’s time to get my tentacles dirty. I think it’s time I introduced you to my Stump Demons." Occulous challenged.
"Just give up, Occulous!" Sonata growled.
"Haha! You can’t touch me in the real world, you can’t use cannons in the Ghost World, and your attacks will be no more than tickles!" Occulous laughed.
"Then we'll just have to improvise!" Pinkie smiled as Ghost Roaster went to the Platform and reverted everything to the Ghost World as he and the other heroes saw Gallant.
"I’ve heard there’s a way to defeat Occulous but you have to be in the real world to do it. And since ghosts like me only live in the Ghost World, we’ll need you to do the honors. There are cannons in the real world. They’re just the things to shoot right in his giant eyeball. Use that Activator, and it will pull you guys and Occulous into the real world, then just fire that cannon right into his eye!" Gallant explained.
"Thank you for the information!" Lightning Rod smiled.
"Then we have a plan." Ghost Roaster added.
"Let's take him down!" Mikey said as the group ran from the eye laser before they went to the Activator.
"Time to spin it down!" Pinkie smiled.
"Go for it." Sonata nodded as Pinkie spun the Activator down, pulling her, the others and Occulous into the real world.
"Fire in the hole!" Zap roared as he fired the cannon right in Occulous’ eye.
"‘Eeeeey! That hurt! Okay, no more Mr. Nice Eye!" Occulous growled as Stump Demons appeared before a barrier appeared around Occulous while he fired a laser, destroying the used cannon before circling around while still firing the laser. The group dodged the attack by using the bounce pads as they beat the Stump Demons.
"That all you got?!" Mikey taunted while smashing before Occulous went intangible again. "Never mind."
"Back to the Ghost World." Ghost Roaster said.
"I'm on it." Stump Smash replied as he pushed the button, returning the group to the Ghost World.
"Take this! Fire the Terrafin Torpedo!" Flameslinger shouted as he was somehow using Terrafin as an arrow as the Earth Shark had a bead of sweat in the situation. Pinkie used the Activator again, returning the group and Occulous to the real world as the ghost was firing a laser. "Fire!" Flameslinger roared as Terrafin was loaded in a cannon with a few of his arrows before it fired, hitting Occulous right in the eye.
"Oh-hohoho, stop that!" Occulous shouted as he gained a forcefield and fired a laser again while slowing spinning, destroying the used cannon as more Stump Demons appeared.
"We're winning!" Pinkie cheered, but after everyone beat the Stump Demons and bounced over the laser, Occulous went intangible once more.
"Zap, with me!" Mikey urged as the duo pressed the button, returning everything to the Ghost World once more.
"Last one." Zap counted as Pinkie screwed the Activator down, taking everyone and Occulous to the real world.
"Booyahkasha!" Mikey let out his battle cry as he and Zap fired the final cannon right in Occulous' eye, making him scream in pain as he fell, spiraling into a vortex below.
"And stay down there!" Sonata smirked.
"You did it! Occulous' reign of terror is over! It's now time for the reign of pies!!! Come back to me when you're ready to hit up the bakery. But hurry, I'm starving!" Gallant said as Pinkie dashed off before coming back with a pumpkin hat.
"All good here!" Pinkie smiled.
"Mission Accomplished!" Mikey whooped.
"Are you ready to go back to the bakery? I hope so, I already know which pie I'm gonna order." Gallant asked.
"Unfortunately, no. We still have a big job to do." Sonata said.
"Come on! Let's at least get some grub before heading back!" Pinkie pointed out.
"Alright." Sonata smiled as the group were soon back at the bakery, and it was booming back in business.
"The ghosts are happy. I'm making a fortune and am REALLY happy! And it's all thanks to you guys!" Batterson smiled.
"It's the least we could do, old friend." Ghost Roaster assured as Mikey smiled at Ghost Roaster.
"Hmmm, I think I have another win-win idea. I'll have these ghosts deliver pies all throughout the Skylands. That way I'll expand my business and you can get extra health bonuses! Pies are very healthy, you know? At least here in our world. Keep an eye out for them. No pun intended!" Batterson said.
"Good luck." Sonata bid farewell as Pinkie was having a pie to go.
"Time to head back to the Core of Light!" Pinkie said as everyone took their meals and left.

The skies were getting dark as Sonata figured out was Burpy was. "Wow, who could’ve seen that coming?"
"What?" Pinkie asked as Inferno napped with a teddy bear.
"I found out Burpy is a minor demon." Sonata answered.
"Huh?" Pinkie said in confusion.
"Yeah, ya heard me." Sonata confirmed.
"Is he dangerous?" Mikey asked.
"Nah, this little guy is so harmless magically, he couldn't hurt a fly." Sonata responded.
"Expect his fire burps." Pinkie pointed out.
"Fair point. But not my first time meeting an actual demon." Sonata shrugged off.
"Huh?" Pinkie and Mikey said in confusion.
"Story for another time." Sonata simply replied before a train whistle was heard.
"Was that a train?" Hex noticed.
"Stealth, Wham, Terra you three with me. We'll investigate it. Everyone else, hang back in case there's trouble." Sonata said as the four went on over with Flynn and Hugo as they saw a train and Diggs.
"Wow! Am I the only one that didn’t know this was here? I mean, honestly… there’s a train here!" Hugo said.
"It's not like we've had a chance to explore the area." Stealth Elf admitted.
"Yeah, we've been fixing up everyone who's injured." Terrafin added.
"Did you say that there is a train?" Diggs asked.
"Right there behind you!" Hugo pointed out.
"Oh that explains the tracks. Huh. I’m not sure how I could have missed that." Diggs wondered.
"It couldn’t possibly be because he’s blind as a bat, could it? That’s right! …Boom!" Flynn declared.
"Hey! I can still hear, you know." Diggs pointed out.
"Flynn, that wasn't nice!" Mikey pouted.
"Now I understand how Cali feels." Sonata groaned.
"Listen, we moles were digging, searching for the Crucible of the Ages. But there was a terrible cave-in!" Diggs explained.
"WAIT! You know where the Crucible is? That’s one of the missing components to the Great Machine! It’s the only relic in the world that can contain the power of the Eternal Fire Source!" Hugo realized.
"Focus, there's innocent people in danger!" Mikey pointed out.
"I know. That’s why we were looking for… Wait. What am I saying? There’s no time to explain! The cave! There are moles trapped down there! I barely escaped, when the cave-in sealed the entrance shut!" Diggs panicked.
"Everyone, if we can open a path through the debris, perhaps you can recover the Crucible." Hugo noted.
"UH… What part of “moles trapped down there” don’t you understand?" Diggs pointed out.
"Terrafin, you and Wham-Shell head back and start rounding up all the Skylanders with superior strength." Pinkie ordered.
"On it!" Terrafin nodded.
"First, we'll need something powerful enough to blow up the debris that's blocking the cave! Then we can get the Crucible, AND save the moles." Hugo said.
"Finally!" Digs said before Boomer showed up.
"Blow up!" Boomer shouted with crazy laughter as he zipped and zoomed around the place, blowing up stone covered walls with bombs and throwing a bomb into a geyser before returning with two Winged Sapphires.
"What was that!? Was that another cave-in!? Oh no!" Diggs dreaded.
"Easy, bud. It's just Boomer going boom-boom crazy." Mikey assured.
"But we're going to need him if we're going to mount a rescue." Pinkie admitted.
"Don't worry. I can do controlled explosions." Boomer said.
"Okay, we got two, now we gotta decide six more." Sonata noted.
"No need." Lightning Rod said as he, Cynder, Wham-Shell, Terrafin, Flameslinger, Camo, and Double Trouble came up.
"Strength and demolition expertise... Perfect. But I want control and discipline while we're down there! Understood?!" Pinkie pointed out.
"Right." Cynder nodded.
"Are you ready to go to the mines now?" Diggs asked.
"Alright, we're ready to save the miners." Mikey answered.
"Okay, let’s go! Um… But first, will someone explain why it is we’re taking a train?" Diggs wondered.
"It's the fastest way there." Sonata responded.
"What’re we waiting for then?!" Diggs pointed out as everyone got into the train before it charged right into the tunnel entrance.
Later, the train came to a stop as the Goofball Trio and the Skylanders exited the train, seeing Blobbers.
"Oh, my lady! It's good to see you, Mistress Sonata." Blobbers noticed.
"Huh?" The others asked in confusion.
"I... Might've saved him from some of Kaos' forces a while back." Sonata admitted.
"But where did you come from? Nevermind that. I’m afraid we need your help once more! We were digging, um, well, I mean the Molekin were digging, and I was supervising. We found something! An ancient relic called the Crucible of the Ages! Dunno what happened, but some… some THING triggered a cave-in!" Blobbers informed.
"Don't worry. We'll save the miners." Mikey assured.
"They’re all trapped… the mole miners! You’ve got to rescue them!" Blobbers panicked.
"Let's get smashing!" Sonata declared as Mikey and the more muscular Skylanders started smashing through the rocks to clear a path.
"Here. *Brings out pickaxes* Use the mining picks to break through cracked rocks. Simple physics!"
"Thanks." Pinkie smiled while taking one as everyone kept smashing away until enemies started charging.
"Cynder, Camo you two help me lead them away." Sonata said.
"Those are Flame Imps, droplets of possessed magma." Flameslinger informed.
"Then I'm suited for this. Tidal Slash!" Sonata shouted as her attack easily beat the enemies before the group founded a Molekin miner.
"You okay, sir?" Mikey asked.
"Yeah! But hurry, there’s six more of us!" The first Molekin Miner informed.
"We'll find them. Get to entrance!" Mikey said as the Molekin miner fled before the group kept moving forward, only to encounter a Rocker Walker.
"Sonata, you and your team need to cover us!" Terrafin requested while punching rocks.
"He's right. We're clearing the way to the miners!" Wham-Shell agreed while swinging mace at rocks.
"On it!" Sonata nodded as she, Cynder, and Camo provided cover while the others kept searching for the miners.
"I found one! Over here!" Pinkie called out as she broke through a wall, finding a Molekin Miner surrounded by Flame Imps. "Skeletal Grasp!" Pinkie shouted as she used her attack to swat them away. "Go! Get to safety!"
"Thank you!" The second Molekin Miner said in gratitude while fleeing as Boomer went off before returning with a miner hat. The group soon encountered enemies on a bridge.
"Tidal Slash!" Sonata shouted while Cynder electrified Sonata's attack as the combo-attack knocked out the enemies before they saw a Lava King up ahead.
"You three handle him. We'll get the miners." Boomer said as he threw a bomb to the left, shattering a crystalline obstacle before he went down to the right from the bridge, setting off another bomb, shattering another crystalline obstacle, making a path up to the Molekin Miner. "Hurry! Get out!"
"O-Okay!" The third Molekin Miner nodded as he ran down the ramp and escaped before the group mined forward before encountering a giant fire robot.
"Guys, hurry up! We can't keep holding them back forever!" Sonata and her mirror clone said in unison, making her voice sound like stereo as the group beat the robot and mined to see a Molekin miner surrounded by Flame Imps.
"Stone Wave!" Mikey shouted as his attack attack cleared the way. "Shift is over! Get out of here!"
"Right!" The fourth Molekin Miner said as he fled before the group dug through the stones before encountering another Molekin Miner.
"Two left." Camo counted.
"Onward, friends! These miners shall see tomorrow!" Lightning Rode declared.
"Oh! There's something you'll wanna see!" The fifth Molekin Miner remembered as he pointed in a direction before fleeing as Pinkie found a scroll, reading it.
"Hmm... Ooh... I see... But something tells me there's more to it than that." Pinkie noted.
"What is it?" Mikey asked.
"The Core of Light Origin." Pinkie answered as the group mined through the stones, beating another giant fire robot before finding another Molekin Miner surrounded by Flame Imps.
"None shall hurt him!" Lightning Rod said while throwing lightning, destroying enemies with ease. "RUN!"
"O-Okay! Thanks for blowing up that crystal wall earlier!" The sixth Molekin Miner responded before fleeing through the opening Boomer made by blowing up the crystal obstacle earlier.
"…How did we not notice that before?" Mikey asked as the group kept mining before found two treasure chests, then Cynder’s Soul Gem.
"Haha! Nice!" Cynder giggled.
"There should one miner left!" Sonata noted as the group moved before seeing a Hob ‘n’ Yaro dash and swipe a key before running around in a room that had the last Molekin Miner.
"We don't have time!" Flameslinger growled while aiming his bow before he let an arrow fly, nailing the Hob n' Yaro.
"Come on, let's go!" Pinkie urged as Mikey grabbed the key.
"T-Thank you!" The seventh and final Molekin Miner said in gratitude as he fled before the group found Diggs by a locked gate with a relic.
"That's got to be the Crucible. Great job, Diggs!" Mikey noticed.
"You did it! You saved the miners! I'd gladly walk over and shake your hands but I'm afraid I must have injured my leg while down here and can't walk." Diggs admitted as Pinkie sped off and returned with a mine cart.
"Help me put him in here." Pinkie requested.
"I'll hold onto it while you push, even though it hurts." Diggs added as everyone was escorting Diggs back, Flameslinger's exhaustion was catching up.
"Sling, you okay friend?" Double Trouble asked.
"Not sure." Flameslinger admitted.
"Wait, where's the key?" Mikey asked.
"Used it to unlock that gate and found more bombs." Pinkie answered.
"Oh! Only bombs and cannonballs will break up Tzo Crystals." Diggs informed before Flameslinger sensed something.
"I don't think Cynder's was the only Soul Gem in these mines." Flameslinger said.
"Okay, go get it and catch up quickly." Mikey responded.
"I'll go with. You ain't looking well, bud." Terrafin urged.
"Very well." Flameslinger nodded before he and Terrafin went off before Pinkie started getting a bomb.
"Fire in the hole!" Pinkie called out as she threw the bomb before it blew up the falling Tzo Crystals.
Everyone hurried forward as Flameslinger and Terrafin caught up with the elf holding his Soul Gem. "Got it."
"Perfect. Let's get out of here!" Mikey urged as everyone soon reached the train.
"You saved everyone!! AND I have some good news! All this seismic activity has opened up a new tunnel back there. And there are new train tracks! Tracks that go deeper." Blobbers informed.
"Good. We'll check it out later. Right now, we got to take the Crucible to the Core." Mikey responded.
"Hey! Come on! Miner in terrible pain here! Grab that Crucible and let’s get outta here!" Diggs pointed out as everyone carefully loaded Diggs into the train and prepared to head back to the Core.
"Mistress, please let me accompany you back." Blobbers requested.
"If you say so." Sonata shrugged as the train departed.
Soon, everyone returned to the ruins with Blobbers and the Crucible.
"~We’re baaaack! ~" Pinkie called out in sing-song before the Crucible started hovering into the air as Master Eon appeared.
"The Crucible of the Ages, made to withstand the terrible forces of a thousands burning suns." Master Eon informed as the Crucible floated around the Core before placing itself at the center of the visible floor.
"Huh. Come to think of it, the Crucible right now looks like a stove burner." Pinkie noticed.
"Yeah." Mikey agreed.
Meanwhile at Kaos’ Kastle, the dark portal master was walking down the hallway. "Glumshanks!"
That shout made the troll drop the stone tablet of notes. "Uh, yes, lord Kaos?" Glumshanks asked as Kaos arrived in the portal window room.
"I have a job for you. Those cursed Skylanders, oh, and those meddling outworlders have interfered with my plans to become Emperor of Skylands for the last time! *After Glumshanks helped him get onto the outer side of the portal* But you, Glumshanks, you can stop them." Kaos said.
"Me?" Kaos asked.
"See, things are… very bad right for us now." Kaos admitted.
"But I thought you said the Darkness was growing, that it didn’t matter what they did. You said-" Glumshanks tried to point out.
"NEVERMIND WHAT I SAID! Look, Glumshanks, all we have to do is keep them from getting one, just one of the Eternal Sources, and it’ll all be over. Which brings me to you, old friend. All you have to do is make your way deep underground, sneak past the deadly lava guardians, withstand the scorching heat of a burning volcano to sabotage the tracks of the mine train. *Deep breath in* Meanwhile, I’ll go on ahead and simply go after the Eternal Fire Source myself. Hahahahaha! See? There’s more than one way to… DERAIL their plans!" Kaos punned terribly.
"Please tell me you didn’t just say that." Glumshanks groaned while turning away, covering his face.
"Oh, I did. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Kaos laughed as Glumshanks walked away.
Pinkie suddenly felt anger boiling inside her. "Oh no, he did NOT just do that!"
"What's wrong?" Sonata asked.
"My Pinkie Sense told me that a villain did a horrible pun! And I know that it was Kaos who did that! *Calms down* But seriously, was that pun made of paper? Because it was TEARRIBLE!" Pinkie punned as Sonata stifled a snicker at that.
"Okay, Pinkie. That was a good one." Sonata admitted,
"Thank you." Pinkie smiled while taking a bow.

Blobbers was cleaning the Core very thoroughly.
"Hey Blobbers, why don't you take a break and have some lunch." Sonata advised.
"Okay." Blobbers responded.
"The Core of Light is nearly complete, but we aren’t done yet. The caves underground go deep. These train tracks should lead you to the lava lakes, where you’ll find the Eternal Fire Source." Hugo informed.
"Okay, Gill you're coming with us. We might need you water powers." Mikey said.
"Alright." Gill Grunt nodded.
"Hex, whaddya think?" Stealth Elf offered.
"I'm good to fight." Hex agreed.
"Nice! Then I’m coming along!" Stealth Elf declared.
"I'm coming, too." Sonic Boom added.
"Don’t count me out." Prism Break volunteered.
"Sling, you still strong?" Pinkie asked.
"Of course." Flameslinger nodded
"I go too." Voodood added.
"Ooh… That sounds dangerous." Diggs noted.
"It will be. Only creatures of the deep dwell there." Hugo agreed.
"We can take them." Sonata assured.
"Well, at least it will be warm. And hey, my leg is all better now! I’ll get the train started. Are you ready to go now?" Diggs asked.
"Just need a Tech Skylander to come with." Pinkie noticed.
"I shall accompany!" Drill Sergeant volunteered.
"Sure. We could use your drills." Pinkie smiled.
"Okay! ALL ABOARD the express train to certain doom! Choo! Choo!" Diggs declared as everyone climbed aboard and were taken to their destination.
Later, the train stopped as Diggs wore a train conductor hat. "Alright. I guess it’s up to us to get the Eternal Fire Source. The track splits here. One way leads to the old mines, but it’s caved it. You’ll have to find a lever to switch the tracks so we can choo choo down to the Lava Lakes. I’ll just keep shoveling coal while you look around for the lever."
"Okay, Stealth and Hex you two come with me and scout ahead. Everyone else stand guard at the train." Sonata said.
"Right." Stealth Elf and Hex nodded as the trio went ahead and were soon ambushed by enemies
"Let me handle this." Hex assured before Sonata saw barrels around them with fuses connected.
"GET CLEAR!" Sonata shouted before one of the barrels suddenly exploded in flames as Sonata used her water powers to shield herself and the duo.
"Thanks, good eye." Hex said in gratitude.
"But who laid one of those fuses?" Sonata wondered before a Fire Spell Punk came out from one of the barrels before lighting another fuse.
"I hate Spell Punks." Hex groaned.
"Another barrel’s gonna blow!" Sonata noticed as Hex threw up a bone barrier and the Kunoichis got ready to strike.
"Permission to take point, Mistress." Stealth Elf requested.
"Granted." Sonata confirmed as Stealth Elf flipped over before slashing the Fire Spell Punk, allowing Sonata to rush forward. "Mystic Slash!" Sonata shouted as she defeated the rest of the enemies in the area before Hex spotted something to the left.
"I think I see some pickaxes." Hex noticed as Sonata gave one to her.
"Let's get moving." Sonata said as the trio forged their way forward and found some controls for the rails. "Help me with this."
"Right." Stealth Elf nodded as the three pushed the lever before it switched, spinning the tracks 90 degrees, making a path for the train.
"Get the train moving! Prism, you're with me and Sling on protection." Mikey responded.
"Alright." Prism Break said as everyone else got in the train before it moved forward with the trio. The trio beat a pair of Magma Walkers along the way before everyone soon stopped at another spin track.
"Oh what a surprise. Need to find another lever. HA! Who built this thing anyway!? They know nothing of Mole Engineering." Diggs laughed with a grumble.
"Come on." Mikey urged as Prism and Sling ran up, but Flameslinger started lagging behind. The lack of rest time was starting to catch up. "Easy, pal. We got you."
"Incoming Lava King!" Prism Break informed as Flameslinger tried to fight, but his body was too worn out.
"Prism, cover us. I gotta get Flameslinger to the train." Mikey said.
"You got it!" Prism Break nodded with his gems glowing before he gave covering fire as Mikey carried Flameslinger to safety.
"I'm... Sorry." Flameslinger apologized.
"Don't be." Mikey responded as Prism Break used Crystal Eruption, defeating the Lava King.
"You okay, Sling?" Prism Break asked.
"…I’m not sure anymore." Flameslinger admitted.
"Everyone else had time to rest, you haven't." Mikey pointed out.
"I can still fight." Flameslinger responded while Prism Break fired his beams at boulders, breaking them and revealing a cannon on a bigger set of tracks before looking behind him, getting an idea.
"You got an idea, Prism?" Mikey asked.
"Yeah, *Gets behind the cannon* but get back." Prism replied while getting behind the cannon as Mikey and Flameslinger got at a safe distance. "Here we go!" Prism Break declared as he refracted a small beam, lighting the fuse and firing the cannon, wrecking a wall and opening a way in.
"Not bad." Flameslinger noted as Mikey and Prism Break moved forward, finding a lever and a Soul Gem.
"Found Eruptor's." Prism Break informed as Mikey pulled the lever and the tracks changed before a barrel behind him and Prism Break exploded.
"Guys!" Flameslinger shouted as he aimed up and fired his Super Volley Shot, raining even more burning arrows as they managed to hit the Fire Spell Punk hiding, defeating it. "Mikey, Prism!"
"We're okay! Thanks for the save, Sling." Mikey said in gratitude.
"No problem. Let's go." Flameslinger replied as the trio went back into the train before the girls soon caught up.
"My turn!" Pinkie smiled as Drill Sergeant and Sonic Boom followed her.
"Full Scream Ahead!" Sonic Boom declared with her battle cry.
"Licensed to Drill!" Drill Sergeant beeped with his battle cry as the trio traveled ahead of the moving train while taking out some Flame Imps and Magma Walkers along the way before stopping at a gate.
"Hmm. This gate leads to the Crystal Grottos, but it's locked! See if you can find a lever to open it." Diggs notoced.
"Lever detected. Follow me." Drill Sergeant informed as the trio moved forward, finding a bomb before he fired at a barrel from his Auto-Blaster on his head, revealing a Fire Spell Punk.
"Burning Bone Ball!" Pinkie shouted as Sonic Boom unleashed her sonic attack, with the two attacks defeated the Fire Spell Punk.
"Right this way." Drill Sergeant instructed.
"Isn't that where we took this path?" Pinkie asked.
"Affirmative, but bombs found here are required to break through Tzo Crystals." Drill Sergeant answered.
"Point taken." Pinkie responded before she suddenly dashed off deeper before returning with a treasure chest.
"Pinkie..." Sonic sighed.
"Sorry SB, waste not want not." Pinkie smiled before dashing off as Sonic Boom grabbed the bomb before the two caught up with the party girl, returning to the train before blowing up the Tzo Crystals with the bomb, seeing a lever guarded by a Lava King and Flame Imps. "Strongest attacks at once!" Pinkie ordered as Drill Sergeant's upgraded drill rockets started spinning faster, ready to launch as Sonic Boom breathed in deeply. "Fire!" Pinkie shouted as Drill Sergeant launched his drill rockets before they exploded on contact, followed by smaller rockets flying at them as Sonic Boom let out an extremely loud shriek from all around her with the sonic waves bouncing off enemies while damaging them. "Burning Bone Ball!" Pinkie added as her attack defeated the enemies. "Double it, everyone." Pinkie urged as Drill Sergeant switched the lever, causing the gate to open before Pinkie returned with another treasure. "Let's go deeper!"
"Make it fast." Sonic Boom replied as the trio boarded the train before it moved down the tracks. Later, it came to a stop, due to missing tracks.
"What happened here? The track's been sabotaged! Hmmm." Diggs pondered.
"I think I know how." Mikey noted as he looked out to the right and saw Glumshanks mining out train tracks with a pickaxe before he noticed the turtle and ran away in fear.
"It'll take us hours to go around on foot." Sonata groaned.
"This looks like a job for a Mole! Push those giant stone blocks to bridge the gaps, then I’ll build new tracks on top of them." Diggs informed as everyone got to work and soon the new tracks grounds were laid.
"Alright, let's get moving." Sonata urged.
"Well done, everyone! We make one heck of a team! I’ll repair the broken tracks and we’ll be off!" Diggs responded before doing that as Pinkie returned with another chest. "Okay, done! And it went quicker since you guys helped."
"Everyone, in the train!" Pinkie said.
"Let’s move!" Diggs agreed as everyone got back in the train befoer it moved down the tracks deeper and deeper. Along the way, Glumshanks was in its path as he ran away with the train chasing him before he jumped off the tracks.
"That'll be a nasty burn." Mikey winced as the train soon stopped at the end of the tracks.
"Now here we are… the Lava Lakes. Let’s split up. I’ll keep this train running while you go find the Eternal Fire Source!" Diggs said as everyone forged their way through enemies until they reached the Eternal Fire Source while Pinkie was wearing a Lil Devil hat, making her feel faster.
"Who woulda thought that fiery vortex had the Fire Source?" Pinkie wondered.
"Something isn't right here." Gill Grunt glared.
"Yeah, no doy." Sonata deadpanned before Kaos’ hologram fake head appeared.
"OOooooooh NOO! I don’t know HOW you did it before, but NOT this time! The Eternal Fire Source is mine, I tell you! MINE! Er, even in the mine…" Kaos declared.
"Just shut up." Mikey groaned.
"Well, let’s see how you like my fire spirit knight! Hahaha!" Kaos declared as a fire spirit in armor appeared, ready for battle.
"Ignitor!" Hex gasped.
"Leave him to me." Sonata said.
"I wouldn’t underestimate Ignitor if I were you." Flameslinger warned as Sonata charged at Ignitor and they clashed blades with each other. Gill knew what Sonata was doing and readied his Power Hose attack
"Now!" Sonata shouted as Gill Grunt fired water at her swords, temporarily amplifying her water element powers. "Tidal Slash!"
Ignitor shot out a flame mortar from the eyeholes of his helm as Sonata dodged it before attacking with a powered up Tidal Slash, only for it to slip through gaps in Ignitor’s suddenly empty body before it crumbled into a pile of armor. Then a boom was heard behind Sonata.
"HOT!!!" Pinkie yelped.
"Nice job." Gill Grunt smiled.
"Thanks for trusting me." Sonata said in gratitude.
"Gill! Don’t you remember that Ignitor can shoot his spirit out and move about like that as an attack?!" Flameslinger pointed out.
"Nope. Mikey, now!" Gill Grunt shouted as Mikey slammed his hammer down and trapped Ignitor's fire spirit in stone, before the sealed fire spirit vanished with his collapsed armor.
"How did you know that would work?" Hex asked.
"Kinda obvious since everyone knows rock doesn't burn with normal fire." Mikey shrugged.
"HEY! You extinguished my Fire Spirit Knight! Now THAT really burns me up!" Kaos growled.
"Bad fire puns expected." Drill Sergeant warned.
"So in return, NOW I’m gonna REALLY turn up the HEAT! Hahaha!" Kaos laughed before the Eternal Fire Source appeared as he used it, causing an inferno to surround the area with flaming stones raining down on the group. Mikey, Prism Break, and Hex threw up shields to protect everyone as Sonata and Gill were dodging the stones before it soon stopped. "Oooooooh! Stand still will you!!! Why won’t you let me torch you!!!"
"Not likely." Sonata simply said.
"FINE! All that means is that you now get to face my faithful Evil Phoenix Dragon! And believe me, it’s got a burning desire to make ashes out of you. Hahaha, I can do these all day, you know." Kaos mocked as a phoenix dragon hybrid appeared.
"Voodood, Prism with me." Mikey requested as the trio charged at the hybrid.
"Sorry, friend." Voodood apologized as they were about to attack before the hybrid suddenly vanished before appearing in another location, leaving flames behind that Mikey, Voodood and Prism accidentally fell onto, burning themselves.
"That barely hurt." Prism Break scoffed before he blasted his energy beams at Sunburn, only for the beam to clash with a stream of fire from the hybrid.
"You go high, I go low." Voodood said as Mikey nodded before the pair attacked Firebird hard and fast, making Sunburn roar in pain before he vanished without teleporting.
"Two down, one to go." Mikey counted while twirling his hammer, Lifestone.
"Worst part is it's the grossest one." Prism Break warned.
"WHAT?!!! Not my Evil Phoenix Dragon! What did he ever do to you!!" Kaos growled.
"Nothing we're not going to do to you." Mikey responded.
"Now I’m steamed! And when KAOS gets steamed, doomed fools like you get pressed!" Kaos declared as he casted another fire spell, making the inferno appeare again before red-orange orbs circled out from the center of the fire pit while leaving mini fire eruptions in their wake. Mikey and the others threw their shields up again, only for the orbs passed through with the fire eruptions harming them.
"Just run!" Pinkie shouted as everyone managed to dodge the fireballs well, dodging flower-patterned flames, counterclockwise flames, crossing flames, split flames and double-crossed flames before the inferno faded.
"OH COME ON!!!" Kaos exasperated.
"You're fighting a losing battle, Kaos!" Pinkie pointed out.
"VERY WELL, you leave me no choice! My EVIL ERUPTOR will… SHAKE YOU UP! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA-" Kaos began to laugh before he started coughing and hacking as a being of magma appeared before Pinkie, Drill Sergeant, and Hex walked forward.
"Let's make it three for three." Pinkie declared as Eruptor started running towards the group while throwing lava blobs before she used her Skeletal Grasp to shield them.
"Sorry, Eruptor." Hex apologized while shooting skulls as they hit Eruptor, but he pushed through and when he got close, he erupted, spreading lava all around him.
"Gross!" Pinkie gagged before she jumped as Hex and Drill Sergeant backed away, dodging the attack.
"You get used to his lava barfs." Hex said.
"Hex, attack left! Drill, attack right! I'll go down the middle." Pinkie ordered as Hex started chanting, summoning Troll Skulls as Drill Sergeant revved up his Power Charge with Pinkie powering up her Burning Bone Ball. "...Now!" Pinkie roared as Hex threw the skulls up, making them rain on Erupter while Drill Sergeant charged and drilled through as Pinkie's bone ball coming in hot before all three attacks hit Eruptor, with the combined hit managed to defeat him as he vanished.
"I don’t understand it! My Evil Eruptor’s suffering from aftershocks!" Kaos punned.
"Enough with the puns!" The trio groaned.
"NO MATTER! There’s NO WAY you can stand up to my fire spells AND ALL THREE of my minions AT ONCE! HAHAHA!" Kaos laughed before Ignitor, with both fire spirit and cursed armor back together again, Sunburn and Erupter reappeared, fully healed as the inferno surrounding returned.
"Hit them hard!" Mikey declared before Flameslinger got up with bow in hand and quiver on back.
"No, I’ll handle them." Flameslinger said.
"You sure?" Mikey asked.
"I have to at least do something." Flameslinger responded as everyone backed up before he let our his Battle Cry. "Let the Flames Begin!"
The three Fire Skylanders charged at Flameslinger before he suddenly dashed, dodging them while leaving behind a trail of fire, damaging them before he fired three explosive hellfire arrows, hitting all three of them before Sunburn suddenly teleported behind him. Flameslinger flipped around and fired three more arrows, hitting Sunburn and knocking him out. Erupted ran forward, throwing lava blobs as burning rocks fell from above before Flameslinger dashed towards him. When he was close enough, Eruptor was about to erupt when the elf suddenly ran around him while leaving a trail of fire as Eruptor erupted, but none of the lava hit hit as Flameslinger finished circling around him, creating a Column of Fire, hitting Eruptor dead on as he fell unconscious. Ignitor slashed at Flameslinger, who dodged by dashing before the knight sent out his Flame Form Mortar as the elf dodged it and started running from the Fire spirit within while leaving behind more trails of fire and dodging flame orbs and erupting flames caused by them. Flameslinger soon performed his Super Volley Shot, making hellfire arrows rain down as they hit the fire spirit and the armor. Ignitor yelled out in pain before the fire spirit was whooshed back into the suit of armor, sending him flying onto his back out cold.
"Glad he's on our side." Sonata noted.
"No… NO! NOOOOOO!!! Okay, you may have claimed the Eternal Fire Source, but there is still one more piece left. And let me assure you, I Kaos am not giving up Skylands that easily." Kaos growled before vanishing as the Eternal Fire Source lowered down with the other half of Pinkie’s Soul Gem when Flameslinger collapsed from utter exhaustion.
"You’re way overdue for a long break, Flameslinger. Thanks." Pinkie said in gratitude before picking up Flameslinger as she grabbed the other half while carrying the elf on her back. "Can anyone else carry the other three?" Pinkie asked as Hex preformed a spell to lift Eruptor, Voodood carried Ignitor, and Stealth Elf and Sonata picked up Sunburn before Mikey approached the Eternal Fire Source as Stealth Elf blushed madly at how amazing Flameslinger looked back there.
Everyone was soon transported back to the Core as the two halves of Pinkie’s soul gem flew out and merged back into one before being absorbed into her.
"Well, I’ll check it out later." Pinkie said as the Eternal Fire Source then started floating into the air as Master Eon appeared while Flameslinger was gently set against a pillar with Terrafin standing guard.
"Fire, a force of destruction, yet also possessing the power to burn away all things evil." Master Eon informed as the Eternal Fire Source flew into the Core of Light before Flames started flowing upward underground without burning anything as the Crucible of the Ages started emitting fire from its holes.)
"Just one left." Mikey counted.
"I think all of us deserve a break right now." Pinkie advised.
“Agreed.” Sonata nodded as everyone started taking it easy.

Dragon's Peak
Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
"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.

Everyone was eating lunch except Terrafin.
"He's not hungry." Mikey noticed.
"He hasn't even moved away from Flameslinger." Boomer added.
"Anyone else find that worrying?" Sonata asked.
"Not really. My husband and him are best friends." Sonic Boom replied.
"There’s only one Eternal Source left to find, the Magic Source. But magic is certainly no exact science… and from what I can decipher, the Core needs a very special, ancient kind of oil that allows every other element to receive the magic. But my book says nothing else about it… I don’t know where to look." Mikey informed.
"The answer has to be somewhere." Mikey agreed as Flynn showed up.
"Hey you know that weird ancient statue out in the water that we’ve all been wondering about?" Flynn reminded.
"Uh-huh. So?" Pinkie replied.
"…Yah, well… it’s moving…" Flynn answered.
"What?! Guys, can you go investigate? I’ll continue to search for answers." Hugo gasped.
"Rod, Wham, Boomer... you three are with me." Mikey said.
"Right." Wham-Shell nodded as Mikey and his muscles went to the statue and were ready for a fight.
"Who are you?" Mikey asked as the statue was unresponsive before it opened up and started floating, showing its real appearance, having six arms.
"Greetings Skylanders. You have awakened us from our 10,000 year slumber… we are what is left of an ancient civilization. The Arkeyan Weapon Masters. We understood the connection between magic and technology. We are the keepers of many secrets. We have waited for one to come, to pass our secrets to. That which you all pursue is near." The statue informed.
"Get Drill, I got an idea." Mikey said to Lightning Rod before the Storm Giant left. "Where is the Eternal Magic Source?"
"You cannot obtain the final Source yet." The Weapon Master responded.
"Why not?" Mikey asked.
"Remember the oil Hugo mentioned?" Wham-Shell pointed out.
"We need something special for this element?" Mikey asked.
"Yeah!" Boomer answered as Pinkie and Sonata came with Chop Chop, Prism Break, Zook, Warnado, and Double Trouble
"Are you all prepared to cross the great chain of time?" The Weapon Master checked as everyone shrugged before giving a nod. "Good. New discoveries await you."
"How are we supposed to get where though?" Sonata asked.
"Simple. Travel by chain." Chop Chop answered as he pointed towards giant chain with his sword before everyone carefully walked the chain.
"Glad Ferny is with Sonic Boom." Pinkie said in relieve.
"Worried he can't fly yet?" Sonata noted.
"I just starting parenting." Pinkie pointed out.
"True." Sonata shrugged as the group soon arrived at an unknown place, getting off the chain as they looked at their surroundings, soon arriving.
"Wow, can't say I expected this." Mikey admitted before a hologram of the Weapon Master appeared.
"The Eternal Source of Magic was the original source of all creations. But as we uncovered its secrets, its power could not be contained. You must prove your worth if you are to be trusted with the energy that flows through all things magic: the Quicksilver." The Weapon Master informed.
"Incredible." Sonata awed.
"Welp, let’s get going." Pinkie declared as Double Trouble sensed what they need.
"Follow me." Double Trouble said as the group moved forward, breaking vase obstacles before encountering two Arkeyan Blasters that popped out of the ground.
"That's all the security they have here? Zook, you mind?" Mikey requested.
"Locked and Loaded!" Zook laughed with a battle cry while firing two bazooka shells at the blasters before the two enemies suddenly ducked, retreating underground and dodging the shots as they came back up unharmed, followed by Mikey tapping the bottom of his hammer, causing vines to restrain the turrets.
"Try again." Mikey offered.
"Hehehehe!" Zook chuckled as he fired again, nailing the blasters this time and wrecking them.
"Everyone, stay alert." Mikey warned before the group then saw Gnashers with blue flames on their heads up ahead.
"That's not good." Pinkie noticed.
"Blue flames do burn hotter than normal ones." Ignitor informed while arriving.
"He's actually right." Sonata agreed as Wham-Shell fired three Starfishicus Superioralis bullets as they homed in on three Gnashers and hit them, defeating them as there were three more.
"Ignitor, with me companion. We'll draw them away, everyone else go get the Quicksliver!" Chop Chop said.
"You sure?" Pinkie asked.
"GO!" Chop Chop urged as the two knights drew the attention of most of the enemies and lead them away.
Mikey solved a lockmaster imp puzzle and got a treasure chest. "I think the key's in the path to the right."
"You're right, Mikey." Sonata agreed, unintentionally doing a pun before a rimshot was heard as Pinkie held a voice/sound recorder.
"What? Someone had to do it." Pinkie shrugged.
"Not the time." Sonata pointed out as the group moved ahead, encountering an Arkeyan Defender.
"If it's anything like the Hammah..." Mikey noted.
"We can take it" Sonata assured as she attacked the Defender, only for the enemy to not be damaged at all. "Doh! Forgot about that! We gotta get it to attack!"
"Easy enough." Prism Break responded as the Defender was about to attack Sonata before a crystal fell on it from above, defeating the enemy.
"Where did that come from?" Sonata asked.
"It was me, I summoned a crystal shard." Prism Break answered.
"Nice. Double, still sensing the Quicksliver?" Mikey checked.
"Yes, this way!" Double Trouble nodded.
"Key, remember?" Sonata pointed out.
"Oh, right." Double Trouble replied as the group moved forward, encountering another defender and three blasters.
"We don't have time for this!" Pinkie groaned.
"Whoa! Pinkie, chill! Your hair’s deflating!" Mikey yelped as Pinkie touched her hair, getting... saliva?
"That's being done by... Drool?" Pinkie responded in confusion.
"Hmm, I’d recognize it anywhere. It’s Wrecking Ball. He may be waiting for us at the end." Double Trouble noted.
"Good, let's go!" Pinkie declared as Boomer threw three triple-bundle dynamite, blowing up the three Arkeyan Blasters.
"Nice one, Boomer!" Mikey whooped as the Defender was about to attack before Warnado launched mini-versions of himself from his Whirlwind Flight at the enemy, following by a Turtle Slam, defeating the Defender.
"Lead the way, Double." Sonata said as the group kept moving forward before encountering two Blasters guarding the key. "War, I got an idea. Start a tornado and me & Wham-Shell will shoot water into it."
"Alright." Warnado nodded as he charged with attack and the pair fired water in, making a hurricane attack. Warnado then flew over the two blasters, getting them wet before he did another Turtle Slam, making a huge splash that defeated the two enemies. "We should've done these attacks ages ago!"
"Heehee, there’s a time for everything." Sonata giggled as the group went back to the three way path and saw the road that went forward.
"Look!" Pinkie called out as Chop Chop and Ignitor were fighting there way through another path.
"Let’s meet ‘em up ahead!" Sonata declared as the group went straight before going left and right, beating Gnashers, Blasters and Defenders as they soon arrived at a gate and unlocked it.
"That was enjoyable." Ignitor noted.
"Ah, good to see you all again." Chop Chop greeted.
"Glad you two are okay." Mikey said.
"Do not worry, I have my Fire Forged Armor and Chop Chop has his shield." Ignitor assured while pointing to the shield on his back.
"Great, any luck getting ahead?" Pinkie asked while she solved a Lockmaster imp puzzle and got a treasure chest before looking ahead. "Well, there’s Arkeyan Defenders up ahead."
"It's just one." Mikey miscounted.
"Three actually." Sonata pointed out.
"Got an idea. Prism, fire a crystal. Ignitor, heat it up." Pinkie ordered.
"Alright." Prism Break responded as he summoned a super crystal shard as it fell and crashed onto the ground before Ignitor jumped out of his armor using his Fire and Brimstone Flame Form Mortar and into the crystal, which reflected his fire right at the enemies as the Defenders were about to attack when they got hit head-on.
"Companions.... I like these three." Ignitor smiled as he flew out of the crystal and back into his armor.
"You okay, Ig?" Mikey asked.
"Of course." Ignitor nodded as the group moved forward before encountering an Arkeyan Ultron guarding a Soul Gem.
"I got this. The rest of you go!" Mikey urged.
"There's a locked gate right past it, but I don't see a key anywhere here!" Sonata pointed out.
"Leave it to me." Double Trouble assured as he fired his Arcane Eldritch Beam at the enemy, only for it to be deflected as the machine fired missiles into the sky.
"Scatter!" Sonata shouted before the enemy's eyes aimed laser pointers at Boomer, with its shields dropping.
"Boomer!" Pinkie shouted as she used her Skeletal Grasp to shield him before four missiles rained on the shield, exploding but Boomer was safe before two outer rings of missiles rained around him, hitting some of the others.
"Okay, now I'm mad." Prism Break growled as the enemy’s shields were up again while it fired more missiles into the air.
"Wham, you're with me!" Sonata said.
"Right!" Wham-Shell nodded as the enemy started aiming again, dropping its shields once more, allowing Wham-Shell and Sonata to strike hard and fast with the double attack was enough to beat the Ultron as the missiles exploded midair. "Nice."
But then a teleporter appeared with the hologram of the Weapon Master reappearing. "The key for this gate is through the teleporter."
"Stay alert, everyone." Mikey warned as Sonata grabbed the Soul Gem, which looked like it belonged to Wrecking Ball.
The group managed to defeat the Spell Punk as they walked across the chain bridge, encountering to Defenders guarding a treasure chest and a key.
"We're getting close. I feel it." Double Trouble noted.
"Incoming enemies first though." Sonata pointed out.
"Leave it to me." Double Trouble responded as the enemies were about to attack before he summoned a Rocket Powered Double as it lunged at one of the Defenders, defeating it as another double emerged from the fallen enemy and attacked the other Defender, defeating it.
"Great job!" Mikey smiled before Pinkie picked up the treasure chest as Sonata grabbed the key.
"Now let's find another teleporter." Sonata noted.
"Over here." Chop Chop informed as the group went to the nearby teleporter, only to find themselves against two Magic Spell Punks and a group of Gnashers.
"You call this an ambush?" Sonata scoffed.
"I don't think it's supposed to be an ambush." Pinkie pointed out as Mikey slammed his hammer down and stones pierce the enemies, defeating them instantly.
"Nice to see what my upgrade can do." Mikey smiled.
"Let's go!" Pinkie declared as the group used another teleporter, encountering two Defenders and an Ultron. "Burning Bone Ball!"
"Pinkie!" Sonata and Mikey shouted as the two tackled Pinkie, canceling her attack.
"We gotta get them to drop their guard first!" Sonata pointed out.
"Oh. Oops." Pinkie apologized.
"Seriously?!" Mikey deadpanned.
"When did you become Raph?" Sonata and Pinkie noticed.
"Oh." Mikey simply said as the Defenders were about to attack with the Ultron aiming before the Goofball Trio smirked.
"Gotcha." The Goofball Trio snickered before they struck the enemies hard while unknowingly defeating three Gnashers.
"That was impressive." Sonata noted as Chop Chop followed up the combined attack with Cursed Bone Brambler, defeating the Defenders and Ultron.
"Excellent, friend." Ignitor nodded.
"I certainly try." Chop Chop responded.
"Follow me." Double Trouble said.
"…Actually, Zook and I will catch up in a bit." Mikey noted.
"Ok." Pinkie shrugged as the group went ahead of Mikey and Zook, taking a teleporter as they arrived back at the locked gate.
"Wonder what they found." Wham-Shell pondered.
"We'll find out soon enough." Sonata replied as she unlocked the gate, opening it.
"We Arkeyans once ruled all of Skylands. We guarded the Eternal Source of Magic to prevent future generations from discovering our secrets. Beyond this gate is what remains of our defenses. The Quicksilver Vault lies ahead. It will only open when the three energy beams are aligned with the three seals." The Weapon Master informed.
"We got a... Grub?" Pinkie said in confusion as an unknown figure was bouncing towards the vault, like it was guarding it.
"Wrecking Ball." Ignitor recognized.
"Well, we don't have time to waste." Sonata declared as the group slid down the chain bridge, arriving at the Scion of Earth and seeing a locked gate to the right.
"Where's the key?" Pinkie asked.
"Somewhere in the left path, that's for sure." Sonata assured.
"I'll get it." Chop Chop said.
"Um, I don't think anyone can go there alone. There's an Ultron, Gnashers, and a Defender." Pinkie pointed out.
"I'll go." Ignitor volunteered.
"Not without me. Better safe than sorry." Pinkie responded as she and the two knights raced and got ambushed by Wrecking Ball. "What the?!"
But then Wrecking Ball shot his tongue out, grabbing Pinkie before bringing her towards him and her head into his mouth.
"Grab her legs!" Chop Chop urged as he and Ignitor did that, pulling Pinkie out of Wrecking Ball's mouth.
"Well, my private candy stash was looted. Still have some left." Pinkie noted.
"Wrecking Ball loves food." Chop Chop informed as Wrecking Ball let out a belch before rolling away.
"After him!" Ignitor urged before the trio encountered the Gnashers, Arkeyan Defender and Ultron Pinkie spoted earlier, guarding a scroll.
"Get Wreck. We got them." Mikey assured as he and Zook came in and started fighting the group of enemies with the turtle was wearing a unicorn hat.
"When did you get back here?!" Pinkie asked.
"Focus on Wrecking Ball." Mikey pointed out as the trio rushed ahead before crossing a chain bridge and went onto a teleporter, finding a laser puzzle at the location they appeared on.
"I can move these." Ignitor assured.
"I think all of us should work on this, that way it will be done quicker." Chop Chop noted.
"Let's get to it." Pinkie declared as the trio moved around blocks and crystals before they got the laser puzzle solved as a seal was unlocked, opening a gate.
"We're coming, Wrecking Ball!" Ignitor called out as he, Pinkie and Chop Chop slid down another chain bridge, encountering another laser puzzle as they later solved it, unlocking another seal and opening a gate.
"Just one more." Pinkie counted before Wrecking Ball stomped around acting like an angry Rottweiler. But before any of the three could call out or react, Wrecking Ball rolled away.
"Let’s go!" Chop Chop declared as the trio slid down the chain bridge, finding one more laser puzzle.
"This is getting annoying." Pinkie groaned.
"We have already gotten used to it." Ignitor responded before the trio later managed to solve the laser puzzle as the final seal was unlocked, opening the Quicksilver vault.
"The vault has been opened. You may at last retrieve what you seek." The Weapon Master informed as a teleporter appeared.
"Our companion first!" Chop Chop pointed out as Pinkie looked at the distance before paling.
"Actually, I think I know where he’s heading. So let’s just go!" Pinkie urged as the trio went pnto the teleportor, appearing on a small island with a key as Pinkie grabbed it before they crossed the chain bridge, encountering Arkeyan Blasters and Magic Spell Punks.
"Out of our way!" Chop Chop growled as the three fought their way through, encountering Gnashers and more Magic Spell Punks before defeating them. They then fought Arkeyan Defenders before they found everyone else fighting Magic Spell Punks and an Arkeyan Ultron.
"We'll hold them back. Go!" Sonata ordered.
"Actually, we’re staying here right now! ‘Cause-" Pinkie tried to explain when a green ball of magic energy rolled in, attacking and bouncing off the group before exploding, revealing Wrecking Ball. "What timing!"
"Forgive us, friend." Ignitor apologized while readying his sword, but as Ignitor was about to attack, a forcefield suddenly surrounded Wrecking Ball as he rolled around like crazy.
"That's not good." Pinkie noted as Chop Chop shielded himself, Ignitor and Pinkie.
"Don't worry, the force field shatters in a few seconds." Chop Chop assured.
"Okay, here's the plan. Chop goes right, Ig goes left, I go down the middle." Pinkie planned.
"Hurry!" Sonata urged as Wrecking Ball stopped spinning, causing the force field to shatter, leaving him open.
"Attack!" Pinkie shouted before Wrecking Ball lashed his tongue out. "Skeletal Grasp." Pinkie yelled as skeleton hands emerged and grabbed the tongue, but it slipped through and kept rocketing forward. "Not this time!" Pinkie countered as right when Wrecking Ball's tongue was about to hit Pinkie in the face, she bit the tip of it, stopping the attack. "*Muffled* I've heard of cat caught your tongue, but this is ridiculous!"
"Now, friend!" Chop Chop declared as he used his Cursed Bone Brambler Soul Gem ability with Ignitor reading his Double Mega Slam, making his sword burn magenta. The double attack sent Wrecking Ball flying back as Pinkie let the tongue go.
"Yuck." Pinkie gagged as the others managed to defeat the Magic Spell Punks and Arkeyan Ultron while Wrecking Ball fell unconscious.
"Rest, friend. We'll get you better." Ignitor assured as Pinkie used the key, unlocking and opening the gate.
"Now the Quicksilver" Pinkie said as the group, with Double Trouble carrying Wrecking Ball, went up to the top and found the vial of Quicksilver.
"We pass unto you the very essence of all magical being… the Quicksilver." The Weapon Master simply said as Sonata carefully grabbed the vial.
"Alright, now let’s head back." Sonata declared.
"Agreed." Ignitor nodded as the group soon returned to the ruins.
"What happened?" Wrecking Ball asked.
"A lot." Sonata answered before the vial floated out of her hand. "Whoa!" Sonata yelped as Master Eon then appeared before the.Quicksilver floated out of the vial.
"Quicksilver, to bind the magic within the Core of Light." Master Eon informed as the glob of Quicksilver flew to the Core of Light before dropping into the symbols, causing them to glow quicksilver gray.
"Wow." The Goofball Trio awed.
"Nice. Now let's rest up before heading out for the last piece." Spyro advised.
"Yeah, I'm beat." Mikey agreed.
"Welp, time to take it easy for a bit." Pinkie shrugged as everyone took a break.

Flameslinger struggled to get back to his feet as he was feeling a lot better.
"You all good, bud?" Terrafin asked.
"Yeah, I'm good." Flameslinger nodded as Mikey came up.
"Don't push yourself, bud. We're going to need you against Kaos." Mikey pointed out.
"Got it, Boss." Flameslinger nodded.
"Come on, let’s get back to the Weapon Master with Hugo." Spyro said while flying by.
"Get Stealth, Drill Sergeant , Zap, and Sonic Boom. We might need them." Mikey responded.
"You got it." Spyro nodded.
"Count me in too!" Eruptor volunteered.
"Hehe, don’t forget about me." Ghost Roaster added.
"Same here, mate." Dino Rang agreed.
"Alright, let's meet up with the girls." Mikey said as the group soon met up with Hugo, Pinkie and Sonata at the Weapon Master’s location.
"The Quicksilver is flowing through the core! I can’t believe it! Who knew that there are still remnants of the Arkeyans?" Hugo cheered in excitement.
"We did." The Weapon Master replied.
"Oh, um, well of course you did…" Hugo stammered in embarrassment.
"Can you tell us where the last Eternal Element Source is?" Sonata asked.
"Yes! Please! We must find the Eternal Magic Source! It’s the final source we need to rebuild the Core of Light! Can you help us?" Hugo agreed.
"Yes we can." The Weapon Master answered.
"I can’t believe I am speaking to a real Arkeyan! I thought you had all disappeared." Hugo gushed, still excited.
"In some ways, yes, but in others, we have always been here… But for now, you will find the Eternal Source of Magic locked away in our ancient armory, where you will also witness the our expanse of our civilization… of our power. Would you like to go to our armory now, Skylanders?" The Weapon Master offered as the heroes nodded, ready to save Skylands. "Excellent. Then the Arkeyan Armory awaits you."
"Let's go!" Pinkie declared as the group walked across the chain before they soon arrived at the Arkeyan Armory, walking onto an area as a hologram of the Weapon Master appeared.
"These caverns hold much of what is left of our once proud civilization. Restore power and you will find the Eternal Magic Source within. But be warned, Skylanders. Restoring power will also awaken the ancient Arkeyan defenses that have lain dormant for thousands of years." The Weapon Master informed.
"Drill, see if you have a scanner to detect any power relays or something." Pinkie requested.
"Acknowledged. Power source straight ahead." Drill Sergeant informed.
"Lead the way, buddy." Mikey said as it didn’t even take ten seconds and the group already found the power switch.
"That was easy." Sonata noted.
"At last, it is time. After untold ages of darkness, LIGHT!" The Weapon Master declared as Pinkie turned on the power, turning on the lights and defenses, revealing the place and giant robots.
"HOO, I'M GOING TO LOVE THIS MISSION!" Pinkie cheered.
"Dude! Donnie and Twilight are SO gonna be jealous that they missed THIS!!!" Mikey gushed with starry eyes.
"TOTALLY!!!" Sonata agreed.
"Uh, guys? Elemental Source, then look." Spyro pointed out.
"Uh, right. Sorry. Drill, this is your territory. Lead the way." Mikey request
"Acknowledged." Drill Sergeant replied as the group went down before they got a scroll of Arkeyan History.
"Wow, that’s a lot." Pinkie noted.
"Pinkie, come on." Sonata urged as the group moved forward before encountering a Defense Drone dispenser and a Control Tower as it created a Defense Drone with it taking flight before Sonata effortlessly destroyed it. "That's the best this place has?"
But then another Drone popped out as Mikey cleared his throat. "Control Tower."
"Right, sorry." Sonata apologized as Mikey hammered the control tower, destroying it, the dispenser and the drone as Pinkie spun another switch, moving the barricade to where they entered the area from while opening a path forward.
"There's not a lot of security guards here. No offense, Drill, but your race was really easy going on security." Stealth Elf noted.
"It is only the beginning of this mission." Drill Sergeant responded as the group moved forward, encountering four blasters, two drone dispensers and a drone control tower.
"Skeletal Grasp!" Pinkie shouted as the attack grabbed the Arkeyan Blasters before she squeezed her hands, causing the attack to crush the blasters.
"I gotta admit. I never thought the Arkyeans had all this stuff." Spyro noted as Sonata withdrew her swords and charged up her fists.
"If they're ancient, makes sense you didn't think that." Sonata responded while pummeling the control tower, taking out the drones and their dispensers.
"Still, that's the fun about archeology." Stealth Elf added as the attack destroyed the blaster behind the wrecked control tower before the group kept moving forward, encountering four dispensers and a control tower.
"Eternal Magic Source detected, friends." Drill Sergeant informed as Mikey used his vine lash attack, destroying the control tower, knocking out the drones and dispensers before Pinkie dashed off and returned with a treasure chest.
"Went left, beat a control tower and found this. BTW, I also flipped the switch, so now we can go forward." Pinkie mapped.
"Lead the way, Drill." Mikey said as the group moved forward before the Goofball Trio's jaws dropped at what they saw, a giant Arkeyan robot with an empty control station in the head.
"We get to drive that?!" Pinkie gasped.
"Ohboyohboyohboyohboy!" Mikey gushed.
"WHAT'RE WE WAITING FOR?! LET'S GET IN THIS BAD BOY!" Sonata declared.
"I think I'll fly." Spyro admitted.
"Same here." Sonic Boom agreed.
"Okay, you two cover us from above!" Mikey ordered.
"Stealth, ride Spyro in case they need ninja support." Sonata added.
"Right." Stealth Elf nodded.
"Dino, hop on." Sonic Boom offered.
"Right-o." Dino-Rang accepted as he and Stealth Elf hopped aboard their flying friends as the rest started the mech with the robot activated as it threw some punches before stepping forward.
"Incoming drones!" Spyro called out as Mikey panicked and pressed a button, causing the robot to shoot laser eye shots, shooting down the three drones before Sonata flipped the right switch, causing it to throw a right punch, destroying the platform an Ultron was on.
"It's working!" Sonata smiled.
"Incoming bridge! Has an Ultron and five drones!" Sonic Boom informed.
"Then let's show them our power, my friend." Dino-Rang added as he, Spyro, Sonic Boom and the robot shot down the drones and Ultron down as it then punched the bridge.
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Ghost Roaster noticed.
"Yeah!" The Goofball Trio answered as the group kept moving forward, beating enemies and destroying obstacles while noticing the floor soon started to get hot under the robot, then later saw lava oozing out of the walls. Soon enough, they arrived at an island above lava.
"That doesn't look inviting." Sonata noted.
"Incoming guard Ultrons!" Stealth Elf informed.
"Clear away!" Sonata shouted as the group beat the Ultrones and Drones before encountering another giant robot war machine, blocking the way.
"Guys, better land. We can handle him!" Mikey advised as Pinkie held a hammer and a boxing bell.
"Final Round!" Pinkie commentated before ringing the bell with a *Ding ding!*
"FIGHT!" Sonata shouted with the two war machines started fighting as the Goofball Trio won, making the enemy sink before they noticed a gate to the right.
"And I think that's our way out." Mikey noted.
"Affirmative. Eternal Magic Source close." Drill Sergeant informed as the War Machine moved forward before the gate opened, allowing the heroes to pass through before the robot stopped, allowing everyone to get onto land.
"Okay, stomach not doing well." Eruptor groaned, clutching his belly.
"GET BACK!" Stealth Elf yelped.
"LAVA BARF!!!" Eruptor gagged as he vomited barf made of lava, much to the girls' disgust.
"I'm seriously hoping Ferny can't do that." Pinkie dreaded.
"Then for his sake, don't let him see that." Sonic Boom advised.
"Agreed." Pinkie nodded as Spyro flipped up a switch.
"Behold, the Eternal Magic Source. You will find the Eternal Magic Source in the main vault, at the center of our temple. In order to unlock the main vault, three switches must be activated in smaller vaults. These vaults will require a security key card. *Shows a hologram of said key card* You will find this security key card somewhere in the lower level of our temple. Find it and bring it back to the main security panel." The Weapon Master informed.
"That's a big and round key card." Mikey wondered out loud.
"Yeah, seem unorthodox." Pinkie noted.
"Random?" Sonata guessed.
"Uh-huh." Pinkie nodded.
"Still this maybe the easiest Source we could recover. No sign of Kaos' subordinates." Ghost Roaster cackled.
"Dude, remember the Arkeyans?" Zap pointed out.
"That's more automated security than anything else." Ghost Roaster responded.
"Roast has a point there." Mikey admitted as Pinkie flipped a switch, opening a path forward.
"Well, might as well keep our guard up." Pinkie shrugged as everyone moved forward, cautious of an ambush before encountering four Arkeyan Defenders.
"These guys don't know when to quit!" Mikey groaned as the two on the front were about to attack before Stealth Elf countered, slicing them apart.
"Well done, Stealth!" Sonata smiled.
"Two more incoming from the back." Stealth Elf informed.
"Mirror Clones!" Sonata shouted as the other two Defenders were about to attack before they were sliced by Mirror Clones of Sonatas. "Perfect!"
The group moved forward, only to encounter two Defenders and eight Blasters.
"Allow me." Ghost Roaster said as he charged forward with his Fright Bite Skull Charge, attacking the Blasters.
"Great job, buddy!" Mikey whooped as the Defenders were about to attack before he whacked them with his hammer.
"We're defeating them easily!" Dino-Rang smiled.
"Just because we know how they work." Sonata pointed out before purple fireballs started raining down. "What was that?!"
Dark laughter was heard, getting Spyro's attention. "Was that...? No, it couldn't be."
"Huh?" The Goofball Trio asked in confusion.
"Let's get going." Spyro urged.
"Spy, whoever it is we can take him." Mikey assured as the group went to the main vault before Pinkie flipped a switch, opening a path down while closing the path to where they got to the vault from.
"This way." Pinkie said as the group went down, encountering three Blasters.
"Tidal Slash." Sonata shouted as the attack defeated the enemies before Mikey returned appeared with a chest.
"Had to beat a blaster and a control tower." Mikey explained.
"Great!" Pinkie smiled as Spyro was still on edge
"Also found this bad boy surrounded by rocks that I broke through." Mikey added as he brought out some kind of controller before Sonic Boom saw something in the distance.
"I'm gonna be away for a bit." Sonic Boom informed.
"Good luck." Sonata responded as Sonic Boom flew off somewhere before the group moved forward, encountering a lot more blasters, drone dispensers and two control towers, with all of them guarding a key card.
"Don't stop now! We're close to the last source!" Mikey urged while fighting the enemies.
"Mikey, it's a key card. So not that close. And besides, the blasters and control towers are rooted, not to mention we can beat the drones easily." Sonata responded.
"It's called Motivation, Sonata." Mikey responded.
"She knows that." Pinkie assured before the enemies were soon beaten as they got the key card and found Voodood's Soul Gem.
"Excellent, you have found the security card. Now bring it back to the security control panel." The Weapon Master informed.
"Let's g... Spy, you okay pal?" Mikey noticed.
"I'm fine." Spyro answered as Sonic Boom returned with a wizard hat.
"Nice hat." Sonata smiled.
"Thanks. Let's move." Sonic Boom responded as the group went back up, encountering and defeating a group of Defenders, two Blasters, and a duo of Ultrons.
"Spy, you're on edge. What's got your attention?" Pinkie noticed as Pinkie switched the pathway doors again, clearing a path to the control panel.
"Seriously, I'm fine." Spyro urged.
"Guys, let's go!" Pinkie called out as the group went toward the control panel and inserted the key card.)
"You have succeeded. Now deactivate the three switches within the smaller vaults." The Weapon Master instructed.
"Simple enough." Mikey shrugged.
"Better split up to make this quick." Sonata noted.
"Right, divide and conquer! Ghost, you and Dino are with me." Mikey said.
"I'll take Spyro, Stealth Elf and Eruptor." Sonata added.
"Everyone else is with me!" Pinkie finished.
"I'll go low." Mikey noted.
"Heehee! Right!" Pinkie giggled.
"Then I'll go straight ahead." Sonata concluded as each group ran towards their respective gates. While Mikey’s group went down and Pinkie’s group went left, Sonata and her group went straight ahead, arriving at a gate. "This will be... Easy?"
When the gate opened, the group was suddenly sent flying by a pair of giant burning horns made of flames.
"Hehe, wow. I can’t believe you didn’t expect that." A dark voice chuckled.
"By the ancestors… It is him." Spyro gasped.
"Spyro, you have a nasty looking brother." Sonata guessed in confusion.
"That’s no brother! It’s…" Spyro tried to explain.
"Heh! Two sides of the same coin, Spyro! Let’s see how your friends like my dark powers!" The black Spyro declared as he headbutted the group again, dealing plenty of damage. "I’m not like that weak half of mine! I am Dark Spyro!"
"Fighting for good isn't weakness. You want Spyro, you'll have to go through us." Sonata said while twirling her swords before Dark Spyro chuckle as he raised a clawed hand and fired dark energy as Sonata, who ducked. "Okay. *Sheathes swords before readying her fists* Time to shed some light on the situation."
"What's the plan, Mistress?" Stealth Elf asked.
"The plan's to help Spyro beat his dark double." Sonata answered while cracking her knuckles.
"Agreed." Stealth Elf nodded.
"Hehe! Born to Burn!" Eruptor chuckled, letting out his battle cry.
"Hit him hard!" Sonata declared.
"You guys sure about this?" Spyro asked.
"You're our friend, Spyro." Sonata assured as Spyro chuckled with a puff of fire.
"Thanks guys. Really appreciate it." Spyro smiled before the group charged at Dark Spyro as Sonata took in a deep sharp breath with her fists glowing with crackling energy)
"Let’s go!" Sonata shouted as the group started fighting Dark Spyro.
"You think I'm weak like my other half?!" Dark Spyro growled while fighting.
"Not really. Zoom Punch!" Sonata shouted with her right arm crackled with energy as she threw a right punch, making her arm extend as that hit Dark Spyro before Stealth Elf disappeared, causing three Scarecrow Spin Slicers to surround the enemy while attacking him.
"You think relying on others make you strong?!" Dark Spyro hissed.
"Heh, that’s what you don’t get, buster!" Eruptor responded as he erupted, but it was quicker, stronger and three made mini volcanoes appear, spewing out fireballs for a few seconds before fading away.
"The Skylanders protect each other!" Stealth Elf added while throwing kick after kick with Dark Spyro defending while growling before he leapt into the air and ground-pounded the ground with his head and horns, sending out a shock-wave that knocked the group back.
"He's tough, I'll say that." Sonata admitted.
"That is me after all. If he wants an Earth Pound, I'll give him an Earth Pound." Spyro said as he flew up and did the same move, knocking Dark Spyro back as Sonata got an idea.
"Spyro, shoot a Daybringer Flame at me! Eruptor, barf out a Mega Magma Ball and Stealth Elf will kick it towards me!" Sonata ordered as everyone looked confused but did it anyway
"Doesn’t matter if you all team up! It’s useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless!" Spyro mocked, making Sonata angry as a memory flashed her mind.
"Oh, *Right fist sparking with energy* we’ll see who’ll be the last one standing! *Spins forward while her right first caught the Daybringer Flame and Mega Magma Ball* It’s… *As the burning punch combo attack collided with Dark Spyro’s Earth Pound before it suddenly knocked the enemy back with a bad burn* OVER!!!" Sonata roared as that attack sent Dark Spyro spiraling before he stopped himself mid-flight.
"I'll be back, just you wait!" Dark Spyro growled maliciously before he flew off.
"Good riddance." Sonata scoffed.
"Well, better get going and press that button he was guarding." Spyro informed.
"After you." Sonata replied as Spyro approached the switch's button and then pressed it.
"All switches are now unlocked. You may now retrieve the Eternal Magic Source, the final component of the Source of Light." The Weapon Master presented.
"Sounds like the others got the rest of the switches." Eruptor noted.
"Let's get the source." Sonata declared as the Eternal Magic Source floated out of the Main Vault before everyone regrouped at it.
"Well, this is it. The last piece of the puzzle." Spyro counted.
"Let's show Kaos a sunrise he won't forget." Mikey declared.
"This is gonna be awesome!" Pinkie cheered.
"Time to head back, everyone." Sonata said when the group suddenly floated up towards the Eternal Magic Source before a bright light flashed then faded, revealing the group and Source to be gone.
Back at the Core of Light Ruins, the group suddenly appeared with the Eternal Magic Source as Master Eon appeared while Inferno went up to Pinkie. "Heehee, hey sweetie."
"Pinkie, Mikey, Sonata, you and the Skylanders have retrieved the final Element, the very essence of Skylands, the Eternal Magic Source. The Core of Light... is reborn." Master Eon explained as the Eternal Magic Source flew into the machine and under ground before becoming absorbed into the giant crystal, causing the machine to temporarily shut down before it was kicked up 100% with the ooze and crystal glowing, while above ground, the mask's eyes and quicksilver symbols were glowing as lightning crackled from the Crystal Eye before it shot a big beam of light into the sky, eliminating the looming dark clouds and restoring Skylands, causing a spinning rainbow shine from where the beam is shooting from on the Crystal Eye, leaving the Goofball Trio completely speechless.
"Worth it." Sonata smiled.
"Well, we better rest up and train hard. 'Cause we got a job to finish sooner or later." Spyro advised as everyone else agreed with the Core starting to work.
Meanwhile, at Kaos' Kastle, Kaos was walking while pondering as he past by a charred, smoking, burned, pained and dizzy Glumshanks before he lightly groaned, catching the dark portal master's attention. "Why, what's the matter, Glumshanks? You look, uh... different somehow." Kaos noted as Glumshanks silently growled, that being the last straw with him about to speak his mind and give Kaos what for before the windows flew right open, with light shining in, blinding the two. "AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH! What the-Are you kidding me?! *Walking blindly* Glumshanks!"
"Master!" Glumshanks called out, walking blind too.
"Glumshanks!" Kaos called back.
"Master?" Glumshanks asked as the two crashed soon into each other before Kaos pushed Glumshanks.
"Glumshanks! Get us out of here! Full speed ahead! To the Outlands! *Roar of fury/sadness* My darkness! My beautiful darkness! *Determined* Well... I'm not beaten, YET!" Kaos declared as his Kastle flew away, retreating to the Outlands.

Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
Everyone trained hard and even completed specific heroic challenges for them set up by Cali.
"Not bad." Cali noted as Pinkie was rocking Inferno to sleep.
"Thanks, Cali." Pinkie smiled.
"The Core looks amazing." Mikey noted.
"Maybe I should come up with challenges like that for everyone back home." Sonata wondered.
"We did it! Wowsers! The Core of Light finally assembled! Now a grateful Skylands thanks me again. And you are welcome. Boom!" Flynn celebrated.
"Ugh, get over yourself." Cali groaned.
"Flynn..." Pinkie shushed while trying to keep Inferno asleep.
"Besides, things don't feel like they're, y'know, done yet." Cali pointed out.
"Ah. Ohhh yeah, I see where you're going. That's because we haven't had our date yet. DOUBLE BOOM!" Flynn added as Inferno pouted, getting annoyed with him.
"Flynn, you'll wake him." Pinkie urged.
"No. Cali is right. The Core of Light has saved Skylands from The Darkness, but not from the wrath of Kaos. Whatever weapon or power that he used to destroy the Great Machine before… we should assume that he could probably do it again. It’s not over." Hugo reminded.
"Then we take the fight to him." Mikey declared.
"But this time... Everyone is playing." Sonata added as General Robot showed up.
"TEN HUT! Sounds like we've got a job to do! Like private said, we're going to take the fight to the enemy right where he lives, his home base. Before he can launch a counterattack. The Core of Light has revealed his location in the Outlands. I have the intel report right here." General Robot informed while bringing out info map sheet as Inferno stirred, upsettingly starting to wake up.
"It's okay, Ferny. It's okay." Pinkie assured as Hugo looked at the info.
"That's it!!! General Robot, I could positively kiss you!" Hugo cheered.
"Um... At ease, soldier." General Robot respomeded.
"Uh, quite right. Of course... *Ahem* Now that we know the location of Kaos' fortress, our Skylanders and friends can mount a final assault!" Hugo declared as that made Inferno wake up, crying as Pinkie panicked a bit mentally, but she managed to calm Inferno down as he fell asleep again.
"Yeah, but how do you plan on getting them there?" Cali pointed out.
"Why the Core of Light, of course! Are you all ready to take on the Evil Kaos and rid Skylands of him once and for all?" Hugo asked.
"You bet we are." Mikey nodded.
"Cali, please watch Ferny." Pinkie requested.
"You got it." Cali confirmed.
"Everyone else is good to go." Sonata added as Hugo went to the button panel.
"Splendid! Now I’ll just use the Core to send you all there and… Hmmm… Let’s see… I simply punch in a few coordinates here and…" Hugo noted as he pressed some buttons before the Goofball Trio and all of the Skylanders were enveloped in a huge bubble with it started floating off into the sky and away. "Well… I guess the Core works pretty fast."
"I sure wish we could go with the Skylanders and the others. Then we could ALL take down Kaos together." Cali noted.
"I agree, Cali. But somehow I think this is something our heroes must do themselves." Hugo responded.
It didn’t take long for the bubble to approach the fortress.
"Alright, what's the plan?" Spyro asked as Mikey threw his hammer across his shoulder.
"OKAY, PEOPLE! Here's the game plan! Me, Pinkie, and Sonata are going through the main path and meet Kaos head on. Everyone else, start tearing this place apart! Kaos has a lot of toys here, so let's break them!" Mikey declared.
"Hold on, eight of the Skylanders should come along just in case." Sonata noted.
"No, better all of go and destroy this place." Terrafin replied.
"We'll meet up with you later." Stealth Elf assured.
"Okay, at least at the Kastle." Pinkie noted.
Meanwhile...
"WHY CAN'T I FIND THE SKYLANDERS?!" Kaos growled while looking into his portal window as he was surprised when he heard an explosion outside. "Oh, I see. Trying to pull a sneak attack? Nice try, but my defenses won’t show any mercy."
Back with the others, the bubble had popped and everyone was out.
"You have arrived at the moment of truth, friends. Only you can defeat Kaos and rid his evil from Skylands once and for all. But beware, Kaos’ elemental servants lurk throughout. Go forth and find the entrance to Kaos’ Kastle. It is there you will meet your destiny. Good luck, everyone." Master Eon informed as he then faded away before everyone thundered forward as Kaos' forces tried to counterattack.
"A horde of fire imps for the first wave? Won’t take long." Sonata noted.
"Stone Wave!" Mikey shouted as the attack clear away the horde before a teleporter appeared.
"Let's level this place to the ground." Sonata declared.
"Hold on, leave that to us Skylanders. You three should go on ahead and find that entrance. Don’t worry, eight of us will catch up with you." Cynder responded.
"Good luck." Pinkie said as Goofball Trio used the teleporter, appearing on a higher level. Everywhere they looked, their Skylander friends were tearing Kaos' fortress apart.
"Let's go." Sonata responded.
"Charge!" Pinkie roared as she, Mikey and Sonata moved forward before encountering four flame imps, beating them easily when they found a Lava King guarding a key.
"Mystic Slash!" Sonata shouted as her attack landed before she fused her swords into a double-ended blade as more enemies kept coming, but they kept getting beaten.
"You guys are barely trying!" Mikey scoffed while swinging his hammer.
"Like you're not at full strength." Pinkie added while burning them as Sonata grabbed a key before using it to open a gate.
"Huh. Food on the left, treasure on the right." Sonata noticed.
"Why pick when we can get both?" Mikey sarcastically asked.
"Yeah, one of us go to one each." Pinkie agreed.
"I'll hang back." Sonata said as Mikey went right and Pinkie went left, also they returned so fast they didn't get captured while the path ahead opened.
"I'll save these for later." Pinkie noted while stuffing the food into her hair.
"Hello, dinner." Mikey smiled while counting the gems.
"I have a feeling that we should watch out for what's going on ahead." Sonata advised.
"No problem. Let's press on." Mikey said as the group moved forward before they dodged mechanical spider legs that released electricity when they hit the ground before they encountered four flame imps and beat them easily.
"I'll be back in a bit." Sonata informed after noticing something.
"Good luck." Pinkie responded before headed off right as Mikey and Pinkie fought a Lava King before it erupted out two Flame Imps. The duo beat the enemies while dodging more electricity robo spider legs before seeing another split end. So Mikey went left, getting Double Trouble’s Soul Gem, while Pinkie went right, getting some cake and banana split before they continued forward while beating a pair of Drow Witches and dodging more legs. After that, they did same thing, getting more treasure and a scroll.
"If we weren’t here to fight Kaos, I’d pity him." Mikey admitted as he and Pinkie kept moving forward, dodging more legs while beating a pair of Arkeyan Blasters and Lava Kings before they got more food and gems, then a treasure chest and a Superior Regalia Jack-in-the-box.
"Hopefully that’s the end of that. Let’s keep moving." Pinkie said.
"Wait up!" Sonata called out as she showed up wearing wabbit ears. "Found a treasure chest there too."
"Let's go." Mikey declared as the Goofball Trio moved forward, walking on counterclockwise-spinning floors and dodging clockwise-spinning floor blades before moving down, encountering a Drow Witch, a Lava King and four Flame Imps as the Lava King erupted out two more Flame Imps.
"Let's take these guys down!" Pinkie shouted as the trio fought the enemies before a pair of Shadow Knights came down the stairs. "Burning Bone Ball!" Pinkie roared as her attack pummeled the Flame Imps and Drow Witch.
"Kaos, if your hearing this... We're coming for you." Sonata said, using her double-ended sword as she sliced up the Lava King and Shadow Knights.
"We have a triple-locked gate." Pinkie noticed.
"There's a key!" Mikey called out as the group went up the stairs before Sonata grabbed the key.
"But there’s a split path, and I see more of those shock legs. So stay on the edge of the platforms." Sonata pointed out as Mikey and Pinkie went to the other two. "Good luck, guys." Sonata said before Mikey and Pinkie then floated away on the edges of the platforms, going different directions as Sonata decided to wait. Meanwhile, everyone ducked as Boomer did a bombing run. "Good thing I have my emergency taco stash."
"Mind sharing?" Terrafin asked as he showed up with Flameslinger.
"Sure." Sonata confirmed as the three had some food, definitely feeling better.
"I feel much better." Flameslinger smiled.
"Especially waking Stealth Elf up that one time?" Sonata giggled.
"I'm not going to live that down, am I?" Flameslinger deadpanned.
"Hey, Stealth Elf was your sleeping beauty." Sonata shrugged.
"Yep, it's going to haunt me." Flameslinger groaned.
"Come on, you can't deny that felt good, Sling." Terrafin responded.
"Guess not. Here come the others." Flameslinger noticed as the rest of the Skylanders arrived before Pinkie and Mikey returned with keys.
"Found a treasure chest too." Mikey added.
"Next stop: Kaos!" Sonata declared as the group went to the gate and unlocked it, making it past another spinning floor with spinning floor blades, beating two Tech Spellpunks and a Drow Witch before they soon reached the bottom next to the transport when suddenly three Drow Witches and a Lava King ambushed them.
"GET OUT OF OUR WAY!" Mikey roared while swinging his hammer as that beat the Drow Witches and knocked back the Lava King before a pair of Shadows Knights appeared with the Lava King getting back up.
"Tidal Slash!" Sonata shouted as that attack sliced up the Lava King while Chop Chop slashed the Shadow Knights before a pair of Tech Spellpunks appeared, aiming laser strikes.
"Pour on the pressure! They're weakening!" Mikey informed while pounding with his hammer as the group defeated the two Spellpunks before two more Shadow Knights and a Lava King showed up.
"Skeletal Grasp!" Pinkie yelled as the attack hit and held the enemies in place. "To Kaos! CHARGE!"
But then hordes of enemies showed up as Flameslinger pulled back a burning arrow. "We can handle them. You three take Spyro, Stealth Elf, Cynder, Gill Grunt, Eruptor, Trigger Happy, Whirlwind and Bash and get going."
"Okay, you guys keep doing damage and double back to us later." Mikey admitted.
"Right." Zap nodded as the Goofball Trio and eight Skylanders got onto the platform as the others held the enemies off before it floated up and towards the kastle.
"Remember everyone... We're stronger together." Mikey reminded.
"Right." Pinkie nodded as everyone agreed before they started to arrive when the floating kastle suddenly turned upside down, revealing an arena. "Be ready for anything."
The platform then connected as everyone on it got off and entered the arena, approaching Kaos who was in a giant throne with crystals at four diagonal corners.
"So the coward faces us." Sonata growled.
"FOOLISH HEROES! You’ve played RIGHT INTO my hands! HAHAHAH!" Kaos laughed.
"Dude, you got nowhere to hide. This whole place is about to be nothing but rubble." Mikey deadpanned.
"SO WHAT if you’ve managed to survive and take all of the Eternal Sources! BIG DEAL, if you restored the so-called “Core of Light”! It’s all for NOTHING! Because NOW you have followed me into MY realm! And here I am ALL powerful. And YOU ALL, are NOTHING!" Kaos declared as the lower section of the throne started spinning counterclockwise with the whole throne started floating upward with a dark twister underneath it.
"Scatter!" Mikey ordered as the group did that before Kaos’ throne dropped and slammed down.
"Open fire on it!" Sonata added as the group attacked before Kaos’ throne lifted off again, not having a scratch or dent.
"I have to laugh. Hahhahhahhahhahahahhahahahahhahaha! Haahahahhah! I HAVE TO! Because even so though you somehow managed to not get squashed, you now face the most hideous and powerful of ALL my minions." Kaos declared as the arena started floating into the air.
"We taking you down, Shorty!" Pinkie scoffed.
"Meet the same minion who destroyed the Core of Light, and will do so again! Meet the beast that sent Eon to his well-deserved bodiless OBLIVION! MEET, my Hydra!" Kaos introduced as a four-headed dragon soon appeared, growling.
For a minute, the Goofballs seemed afraid but stood their ground before the green head roared, summoning vine and leaf hurricanes before red insects leading green energy balls appeared, heading for the group.
"Moss Barrier!" Mikey said, summoning moss-covered stones as the defensive ability shielded the group against the attacks before the green vortexes faded.
"That thing is huge!" Pinkie gasped before the black magma head roared, summoning fire vortexes as fire eruptions suddenly appeared, traveled and vanished after reuniting while the group dodged them while Sonata used her Tidal Slash as a defensive shield.
"Very creative, Mistress." Stealth Elf noted before the skeleton head roared, summoning dark ghostly twisters as white beams strewn across the field before they turned red, becoming offensive attacks.
"We got to attack." Pinkie pointed out as Sonata shielded the others against the beams before the Life head attacked again with the group striking the red insects, with a few blows even hitting the throne.
"Give up, Kaos!" Mikey growled.
"We're not going to let you win!" Sonata added before the blue head roared, summoning hurricanes as water sharks swam across the arena with the group narrowly dodging them, healing the heroes as they landed a few attacks on the throne.
"You're not gonna win, Kaos!" Pinkie declared.
"Hmmmm… Interesting… It seems you three are more skillful than Eon after all. Perhaps there IS something special inside you… And I think I’ll just have my BRAWLERS bash it out of you so I can get a better look at it! HAHA!" Kaos laughed as dark clones of Eruptor, Stump Smash, Slam Bam and Ghost Roaster appeared.
"Earth..." Mikey started.
"Fire..." Pinkie continued.
"Magic..." Sonata said.
"Blast!" The Goofball Trio shouted as they launched the attack, only for the clones to dodge it while the combo didn’t hit the throne.
"HA! Did you really think it would be as easy as that? WRONG!" Kaos laughed.
"Wasn't aiming for them, Stupid!" Mikey scoffed as the attack nailed the Hydra, making it mad.
"HAHAHA! That only sealed your DOOM!" Kaos laughed as the Life and Water heads combo attacked as Dark Stump Smash and Dark Slam Bam did a double twister attack.
"Okay, new plan. Beat the clones." Sonata said.
"Easy!" Mikey smiled.
"Gotta leave 'em wide open first." Pinkie noted as the group dodged the double twisters, the Skull Charge attack and Eruption attack before finding the openings they needed.
"Mystic Slash!" Sonata shouted as she, Stealth Elf, Eruptor and Cynder attacked the clones hard, beating them before they teleported to Kaos, looking exhausted.
"Fools! I've had it up to here with your incompetence! Actually no, even higher, up to HERE! BESIDES, I have four more minions who are much more deserving of this privilege!" Kaos declared as Dark Clones of Stealth Elf, Wham-Shell, Chop Chop and Ignitor appeared before they destroyed the other four and absorbed their energy, powering up.
"That's disgusting! Your throwing them away like they're trash!" Sonata growled.
"You get used to it, Mistress. Let's go." Stealth Elf said.
"Counterattack!" Pinkie shouted as Mikey, Gill Grunt, Bash and Spyro clashed with the dark clones as the Fire and Undead heads combo-attacked.
"Stone Wave!" Mikey roared as the attack knocked the enemies up into the air, leaving them vulnerable.
"What goes up must come down." Pinkie quipped.
"Into a world of pain." Sonata finished while spinning her swords as she, Pinkie, Whirlwind and Trigger Happy attacked, shooting the enemies down while damaging the throne a bit before the four dark clones appeared before Kaos in defeat.
"MINIONS! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU! All you have to do is defeat three measly heroes and eight Skylosers! BAH! Never mind. I have four minions more, that should do the trick!" Kaos scoffed as dark clones of Cynder, Camo, Sunburn and Zap appeared before they destroyed the other dark clones, absorbing their energy and powering up.
"I can handle another four." Pinkie panted as she brought out some cake and ate it, feeling better before the Fire and Life heads started attacking with the dark dragon clones firing their breath attacks. "Burning Bone Ball!" Pinkie shouted as she spun the attack, blocking the breath attacks. "Dragon for dragon!" Pinkie smirked as Spyro, Cynder, Whirlwind and Bash came out before attacking the dark dragon clones while everyone dodged the elemental spells. "You're going down, Phonies!"
Sonata dashed as she slashed the dark clones before they appeared in front of Kaos, defeated. "How is it possible that ALL of the lame evil minions work for me?!? HOW?!"
"Luck." Mikey mocked.
"WHATEVER! Even if my next four minions are lame incompetents, at least they're far-shooting lame incompetents. HAHA! And they will spell your final DEFEAT!!" Kaos shouted as dark clones of Hex, Flameslinger, Gill Grunt and Zook appeared as they destroyed the other four clones, absorbing their energy as they powered up.
"Take them down!" Mikey ordered as the dark clones started circling around the ground while firing at them as the Water and Undead Heads combo-attacked. "Stone Wave!"
The attack shook throughout the area as the heroes dodged the attacks with the Stone Wave knocking the dark clones into the air.
"Burning Bone Ball!" Pinkie yelled as she, Eruptor, Stealth Elf, Cynder and Gill Grunt attacked the dark clones while landing plenty blows on the throne while dodging the elemental spells before the four faced Kaos in defeat.
"All I need is my Hydragon to defeat you, fool! THAT, and my super-strong, ultra-destructive, ALL POWERFUL mechanical suit, that is. Hahahahhahaha! HAHAHAHHA!" Kaos laughed as he destroyed the dark clones as his suit throne and the hydra absorbed their energy, powering up while Sonata withdrew her swords and cracked her knuckles. Everyone attacked as the remaining Skylanders came to help. But then the Hydra unleashed a powerful blast that knocked the Skylanders to the ground but sent the Goofballs to their knees. "Tell Eon I said hello."
As the Hydra fired, Mikey and the girls used their weapons to hold the blast back. Even when they started to lose ground, they stood firm.
"No matter what... We won't budge!" Mikey struggled.
"Even if we fail... Someone else will stop you!" Pinkie agreed as the Skylanders saw their friends' spirit and got up.
"Everyone, open fire on the trio! Give them all your strength!" Spyro ordered.
"Because... That's what heroes do!" Sonata finished as everyone attacked Mikey and the girls to give them more strength.
"Now is the time. Show Kaos the strength within you three. *The trio getting stronger* DO IT, SKYLANDERS!" Master Eon urged with a final supporting push as the trio channeled all the Hydra's energy to their weapons.
"Skylander... *Firing* VICTORY!" The Goofball Trio shouted as they redirected the blast before it flew around Kaos and hit the Hydra dead-on, making it fall as Kaos decided he had enough and dropped the throne suit on the trio, only for them to dodge as Sonata gained a yellow aura.)
"How my heart resonates! I’m pulsing with heat and life! *Roars with yellow flames on her hands* My very blood is a symphony within me! *Delivers a wave of punches against Kaos and his throne suit* Sunlight Yellow Overdrive!" Sonata roared as the attacks wrecked the throne suit with them also bruising Kaos before Sonata delivered a final right punch, right on the forehead at his sigil as she backflipped back to the others.
"You’ve lost, Kaos." Sonata declared as Kaos was unaware of the throne suit malfunctioning.
"You think this is over? HA! You think wrong! In fact, I think you think I think I cannot win. I assure you, I can. There WILL come another day, oh not now maybe, but soon. And we will meet again. And on that day, I KAOS will introduce you to your sweet, SWEET OBLIVION. *Not noticing the throne suit charging up power* Hahahahhahahaa!!!" Kaos laughed maniacally before the throne suit exploded, sending him flying into the air before he fell flat on his face with a little bounce. He then got up in a daze. "Fear my giant floating head…" Kaos dizzily said as he fell onto his back with a leg in the air before it fell to the ground, showing that he’s out cold.)
"Stealth, take Kaos into custody." Sonata ordered.
"On it, Mistress. And I know just the cage to hold him." Stealth Elf confirmed as everyone started to take Kaos away.
Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
At the Core of Light, everyone smirked as Kaos was carried in a sphere. "FOOLS! Release me at once or face your unimaginable doom! Do you really think this cheap magic trick can hold me, KAOS?! *Touches sphere, getting shocked* OW! HEY!"
"Hey! Cool your jets, small fry. We've heard enough outta you." Flynn scoffed as Pinkie was feeding Inferno with a baby bottle.
"You talk more than the three of us." Pinkie noted.
"And that's saying something." Mikey added.
"Definitely. And finally, something we agree on. You know, you're okay when you're not putting your foot in your mouth." Cali admitted.
"Hey Flynn... Thanks for being a friend and ally for us." Mikey added as Flynn smiled, knowing he made some good friends.
"I can definitely agree with that." Sonata nodded.
"Heehee! Ditto." Pinkie giggled.
"*Deadpan* Okay, seriously? I'm gonna barf now. *Upwards* Eon! I know you're here somewhere. You and your "apprentice portal masters". Go ahead! Send me back to the Outlands, it won't do any good. I'll just keep coming back again, and again, AND again, until Skylands is mine!" Kaos dismissed.
"Actually, Kaos, you won't be going to the Outlands this time." Master Eon pointed out.
"Uh... What?" Kaos asked, confused as Flynn and Cali shrugged.
"I have something more fitting in mind for you. Hugo, would you please?" Master Eon requested.
"Me? Oh, thank you, Master Eon!" Hugo smiled as he went over to the Core of Light keyboard.
"You don't look smug now, Shorty." Mikey smirked.
"You're gonna love this. We've made a few upgrades." Hugo chuckled as he pressed three buttons, making a ring appear on and float around the spheroid.
"Three." Mikey started counting down.
"Okay, look. Let me go and we'll split this place. 70-30, whaddya say?" Kaos offered as Hugo pressed two more buttons, making another ring appear.
"Two." Pinkie continued.
"Uh, okay. How about 60-40?" Kaos revised as Hugo pressed another one, making a third ring appear.
"One." Sonata added.
"50-50?" Kaos asked with one last offer as Hugo pressed one final button.
"Zero." The Goofball Trio finished.
"Okay! Uh-oh. *As the spheroid blasted off into the sky with him* YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF ME!!!" Kaos vowed before he kept screaming as the Skylanders celebrated.
"Wowzers, now that's fast!" Flynn noticed.
"And don't come back!" Pinkie shouted.
"Now, I think it's time for you three to go home." Master Eon informed as Mikey and the girls dropped their Skylander weapons before the portal master restored their normal weapons.
"Well, it was good meeting you guys." Spyro noted.
"I have a feeling we'll come back, Spyro." Mikey responded.
"Thank you for being great allies and better friends." Sonata said in gratitude.
"And thanks for helping me find another member for my family." Pinkie added.
"Think nothing of it, Pinkie." Sonic Boom giggled as the trio went for the portal with both sides struggling to stay strong when Sonata noticed Stealth Elf.
"Hey, Stealth. I-It's okay to cry." Sonata assured.
"N-No, I'm fine, Mistress. But you're the one who looks like they're about to cry." Stealth Elf argued.
"*Voice breaking* No, you first. *As silence rang for a few seconds* Forget it!" Sonata whimpered, turning away as both she and Stealth Elf comically and silently shedded tears, helping the mood lighten up a bit.
"I'm gonna miss them, too. But like Mikey said. Probably more for us to do here." Pinkie shrugged.
"Later, dudes." Mikey said.
"Take care of Burpy!" Pinkie requested.
"Until next time!" Sonata bid farewell as the Goofball Trio and Inferno left through the portal. Meanwhile, Kaos kept yelling while being propelled throughout portal gateways.
"Hey! What the?! Everything's getting bigger! *Shrinking* Wait! I'm getting smaller!" Kaos screamed as he crashed somewhere on Earth. "Eh! Ooh! What?! Where?! Where am I?! Ugh, what's that's smell?! *Screams as a dog was heard barking* A horrible monster! Goh! Yuck! Cut it out! This is no way to treat your emperor! Oh, this stinks!"
In Canterlot City, a portal opened as the trio jumped out.
"Guys, I gotta go introduce Inferno to the family. Catch ya later." Pinkie said.
"It's okay, I gotta tell about my sisters about the gloves, feathers and headband anyway." Sonata admitted.
"We'll catch up later." Mikey agreed as he and Sonata later told the others everything and Donnie started making a chart.
"Fascinating. These portals seem to be dropping us off in places that are in need of help on a situation. First Wumpa Island, then Sly Cooper's World, then Halloween Town, now Skylands." Donnie said while reviewing notes.
"Actually, Jack told us that there were other ways of getting to Halloween Town. Especially through spooky routes." Rainbow Dash added.
"Yeah, we could've gotten a new key a lot sooner if we knew that." Aria admitted with an embarrassed blush.
"Point is we should be prepared for anything when this happens." Leo clarified.
"Where's Pinkie? I thought she went with you two." Sunset noticed.
"Funny you should ask that." Mikey replied.
Meanwhile, Pinkie was introducing Inferno to her family and explaining how he happened.
"Whoa…" Gemma awed.
"Am I in trouble for Inferno?" Pinkie asked.
"Well, it’s not like you did anything." Maud dryly responded as Pinkie knew what she meant and blushed at that.
"NO WAY!!! I did NOT do that! I only found the egg and kept it warm." Pinkie explained.
"Well, then you're not in trouble, but he's your responsibility." Igneous said as Inferno started to sneeze.
"DUCK!" Pinkie shouted before Inferno gave a light weak sneeze.
"Something suppose to happen? *As a small ember spark ignited her hair* Anyone else smell burning hair?" Limestone noticed as Marble pointed towards the top of her head.
"We might need fireproof some stuff for him." Pinkie pointed out as Limestone panicked.
"Anything else?" Cloudy checked.
"Well, try to get used to his arms." Pinkie answered as Inferno tried to touch Gemma and revealed his arms were nothing but bones.
"Wow!" Gemma said in surprise.
"Better keep an eye on him, Pinkie." Igneous pointed out.
"Okay." Pinkie nodded.
Back in Skylands…
"Are we really going to see them again, Master Eon?" Hugo asked.
"Indeed, Hugo. Michelangelo Hamato, Pinkamena Diane Pie and Sonata Dusk have done well. We may have seen the last of Kaos and the Darkness for now, but there is more to do for them, their families and friends. The ninjas’ journey with the Skylanders is only just beginning." Master Eon answered as he knew that the ninjas will return.

Later that night in Canterlot City, Rarity, Karai, and Adagio's cellphones turned on remotely and Sly Cooper's logo came on screen before it glitched for a few seconds, showing two different symbols with a bit of red.
Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
The Goofball Trio were doing another patrol in New York City.
"No sign of trouble on this side of the city." Mikey noted.
"Yeah." Pinkie agreed.
"So boring." Sonata sighed out of boredom.
"Something wrong?" Pinkie asked.
"I'm just bummed you two got that Halloween Town adventure. I love that town." Sonata answered.
"It’s okay. Besides, you should’ve seen Pinkie! She was totally awesome!" Mikey smiled.
"At least the Doctor modified your keys to allow you three to come anytime without Equestrian magic." Pinkie said before the air suddenly grew cold
"Here we go again." Sonata sighed as a portal opened up, but it started surging with electricity.
"That’s strange." Pinkie noted before the electricity surge towards the trio and zapped them, infusing them with power then sucked them in.
"What’s going on?!" Mikey asked.
"I don't know, but we got tag alongs coming up from behind!" Sonata informed.
"Huh?" Pinkie responded as the Goofball Trio saw eight balls of light, one purple, one yellow, one gray, one green, one sky-blue, one brown, one red and one blue.
"Going our way?" The purple light asked, revealed to be a dragon.
"If so, to where?" Sonata replied with her own question.
"Skylands. Wham-Shell, Lightning... Grab the girls. I got the turtle." The dragon answered as the blue and sky-blue lights revealed themselves as a cloud titan and an anthro crustacean with a mace.
"Got it." The crustacean known as Wham-Shell responded.
"Understood." The cloud titan known as Lightning Rod agreed as the duo grabbed the girls and the dragon glided under Mikey.
"Hang on!" The dragon said.
"Whoa! Okay!" Mikey responded as he and the other two goofballs held on tight while they and the other five lights sped towards the end of the portal.
"Brace for impact!!!" Sonata shouted as the goofball trio and the eight creatures exited a portal, only to see an anthro mammal.
"WHOA! Spyro! You and the others have returned!" The mammal gasped in relief.
"Hey Hugo, uh take two steps back." Spyro requested.
"O-Okay." Hugo responded as he did that before the eight creatures came down with the trio. "Wonderful, you all are okay!"
"Uh hi, we're new." Mikey said.
"And you brought help. Excellent!" Hugo added.
"Wait, why’s everything flying somewhere?" Sonata asked.
"This is Skylands, a world of floating islands. But something is very wrong here." The gray light noticed, revealed to be a skeleton known as Chop Chop.
"But what should we do?" Pinkie asked.
"Let's investigate. You three are welcome to come along." Spyro answered.
"Really?" Sonata noted.
"Of course. You three know how to fight?" The green light checked, revealed to be a female elf known as Stealth Elf.
"Uh-huh! We wouldn’t be ninjas otherwise!" Pinkie answered.
"Then let's roll." The brown light declared, revealed to be a dirt shark known as Terrafin.
Everyone walked further into villages and saw strange green creatures attacking the people.
"What are they?" Sonata asked.
"Chompies. Bad news." The yellow light answered, revealed to be a troll known as Boomer.
"Alright, everyone. Hit them hard!" Spyro ordered.
"Right behind you." Mikey responded as he and the girls ran at the Chompies, but the second their weapons made contact they shattered.
"Oh no!" The Goofball Trio dreaded as the Chompies lunged and bit down on them. "OW!!!"
As they tried to throw them off, Pinkie suddenly caught on fire "GAH!!! HOT HOT!!!" Pinkie yelped before skeleton arms and hands emerged around her and grabbed the chompies on Pinkie as she then noticed that she was controlling these.
"Undead?" Chop Chop noticed.
"Fire?" The red light added, revealed to be a male elf known as Flameslinger.
"What’s happening to me?!" Pinkie asked before Sonata suddenly released a blast of water
"What the?!" Sonata gasped as a burst of magic then blasted from her. "What’s going on?!"
"Magic?" Spyro said.
"Water?" Wham-Shell noticed as plants started growing around Mikey while spikes made of stone erupted around him.
"My Medallion?" Mikey wondered.
"Life?" Stealth Elf gasped.
"Earth?" Terrafin added.
"Guys, focus on the Chompies!" Boomer pointed out as he threw dynamite at the chompies.
"Agreed!" Lightning Rod nodded as he and the others kept fighting and soon defeated the chompies.
Soon, after everyone helped the villagers evacuate, Sonata stopped one. "Is there anyone left in the village?"
"Just the royal Mabu family on the other side of the village!" The mabu known as Blobbers answered.
"That can’t be good!" Mikey dreadded before the Blobbers fled as the Goofball Trio and the eight heroes went further into the village.
"Hey, down there!" A voice called out.
"Huh?" The Goofball Trio wondered in confusion as everyone looked up and saw a person on higher ground next to a hot air balloon.
"For you three new ones, name’s Flynn. Hugo told me to meet you and the others. Boy, you all got here just in time! I can see what’s causing this island to shatter. Come here and I’ll show you! Use those bounce pads. They’re super springy!" Flynn informed as everyone bounced to his position. "Ya see that twister?"
"Yes." The group answered.
"It’s a big one all right! But I’ve got an idea. What we’re gonna do is-Whoa!" Flynn yelped as a boulder came flying in before he got onto his hot air balloon and flew off while the Goofball Trio and the eight heroes jumped off to the entrance of a castle being torn apart by the twister.
"Guys, looks like they have prisoners!" Mikey noticed as he directed everyone to a royal family)
"We need a key to unlock that gate!" Flameslinger informed.
"There's too many not those things to fight. Hey Spyro, can you fly up and get the key?" Mikey asked.
"I wish I could, but for some reason, I can only glide and most of my powers were sealed away. Same with the others." Spyro answered as his friends nodded, confirming that.
"Okay, change in plan. You go up and get the key. The rest of us will keep them distracted." Mikey said.
"I'll go with him for muscle." Wham-Shell volunteered.
"Good. But I see a way we can get that key, but it’ll take heavy artillery." Spyro noted.
"Okay, everyone else will create a distraction." Sonata said.
"And we’ll try to help." Pinkie added as she and everyone else charged at the Chompies while Spyro and his crustacean friend snuck by.
"Okay, Wham. See that stone wall?" Spyro asked.
"Yeah." Wham-Shell answered.
"The key’s behind that, but we’ll need to move the cannon towards it and fire to destroy it." Spyro informed.
"Leave it to me, buddy." Wham-Shell responded as he started pushing the cannon to line up with the wall.
A Chompy snuck up behind Stealth Elf and pounced.
"I don't think so!" Sonata quipped as she kicked the chompy away.
"Thanks for the save!" Stealth Elf said in gratitude.
"No problem. I'm Sonata." Sonata introduced herself.
"I’m Stealth Elf." Stealth Elf responded with her own introduction as a Chompy bit Mikey's knee and forced him to the ground.
"Not so fast!" Boomer yelled as he smashed the ground, sending the chompies flying off Mikey. "You okay?"
"Yep. Thanks." Mikey answered as the troll helped him up.
"Name's Boomer." Boomer introduced himself.
"I’m Mikey." Mikey responded before everyone ducked at the sound of a cannon firing.
"What was that?!" Pinkie gasped before a Chompy bit her arm hard. "Ow!!!"
The Skeleton charged and swung his sword at the Chompy, sending it flying away from Pinkie. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, thanks a bunch." Pinkie said in gratitude.
"Chop Chop." Chop Chop said, introducing himself.
"I’m Pinkie Pie." Pinkie Pie responded.
"We got the key." Spyro informed.
"Spyro, behind you!" Terrafin informed.
"Huh?!" Spyro gasped before a Chompy came from behind and clamped down on him as three more ambushed Wham-Shell.
"Can you three throw me up there?" Terrafin requested.
"Sure thing!" Sonata answered as she, Pinkie and Mikey picked up the shark and threw him to his friends, before he then threw punches at the Chompies, knocking them away.
"You two okay?" Terrafin asked.
"Yeah. Thanks Terrafin." Spyro answered.
"Let's get the Mabu and leave." Wham-Shell urged as he tossed the key to Mikey, who used it to open the cage.
"You all better come with us." Mikey said as he, Sonata, Pinkie, the eight heroes and the royal Mabu family climbed into Flynn's balloon and fled from the storm. "Wow, this is a spacious balloon."
"Pretty awesome, huh?" Flynn smirked.
"Where are we going?" Sonata asked.
"We’re going to the Core of Light. Or at least what’s left of it." Hugo answered.
"Can we get an explanation on what's going on now?" Pinkie requested.
"Okay." Hugo responded.
After they got to a safe distance, a spirit appeared. "Greetings, my friends."
"Hello?" Mikey said in surprise.
"I am Eon. A portal master of light." The spirit introduced himself.
"Where are we, Eon? And what's going on?" Sonata asked.
"You are in Skylands, a magical world of wonder and adventure. But we need your help." Master Eon responded.
"Give us the short version." Pinkie requested.
"I used to have a physical body, but I grew weak with age. And when Kaos attacked, he sent a monster and destroyed the Core of Light. Eight Skylanders were banished from Skylands by that explosion. I survived the explosion, but became a spirit in the process. Fortunately, those eight Skylanders have returned and with you three arriving when they did." Master Eon informed.
"What about these powers? We've never had them." Mikey asked.
"It must be the energy from Skylands, they gave the three of you two of eight elements." Master Eon answered as the trio tested a small sample in their hands. "But they appear unstable. These weapons should help." Master Eon said as Mikey gained a hammer, while Pinkie got a flail, and Sonata obtained two scimitars.
Soon, they arrived at the Core of Light.
"Whoa… It’s in ruins…" Sonata gasped.
"I'm sorry, Spy." Mikey apologized.
"None of us thought it would be this bad." Pinkie added.
"So as you can see, with our Core of Light destroyed, Skylands is in great danger. I’m sure that tornado was no accident. This is Kaos' handiwork." Hugo said.
"Kaos. Ooh, that guy really grinds my gears. If you guys are taking down Kaos, you can count me in!" Flynn declared.
"Us, too. We're not going to let innocent people get hurt." Mikey agreed.
"Not to sound like a downer... But 11 fighters against an army aren't winnable odds." Pinkie noted.
"Psh! And when has that ever stopped us before?" Sonata asked with a smile.
"All the same, we need reinforcements." Pinkie reminded.
"Don’t worry. We’re not the only Skylanders." Spyro informed.
"Where are the others?" Mikey asked.
"We're not sure." Stealth Elf answered.
"So, we find the others." Sonata said.
"Indeed." Flameslinger agreed.
"Wonderful. Cali has agreed to help." Hugo informed.
"Ah, Cali." Flynn sighed with a smile.
"Who's Cali?" Mikey asked.
"A friend of ours." Stealth Elf answered.
"And a trainer." Wham-Shell added.
"Good. We'll need some practice." Mikey smiled.
"First, gets some rest. You all look a bit exhausted." Hugo pointed out.
"Phew! Definitely!" Sonata agreed as she and everyone else walked over to Auric shop and ordered some food.

Next Time on Equestria Ninja Girls...
Perilous Pastures
Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
The group were having some food at the Core Ruins as the Goofball Trio told the Skylanders some of their past adventures.
"Man, I thought we had crazy adventures." Spyro noted in shock.
"Sorry to hear about Master Splinter." Terrafin apologized.
"Thanks. Hey, where's Stealth?" Mikey asked.
"She said she was going to train for our next destination." Flameslinger responded.
"I'll go check on her." Sonata volunteered.
"Okay." Pinkie smiled as Sonata went off and soon found Stealth Elf slicing apart a training dummy.
"I think he gives up." Sonata pointed out, catching Stealth Elf off guard.
"GAH! M-Mistress!" Stealth Elf gasped.
"Worried about your captured friends?" Sonata asked, responded by Stealth Elf's silence at that as her grip on her blades tightened. "Relax, Stealth. We'll find them."
"Thank you, Mistress. I'm grateful you and your friends came here." Stealth Elf said in gratitude.
"I’m glad my friends and I showed up too, because now we can help you guys save your Homeworld." Sonata responded.
"I'll need to report to my superiors on this matter real quick." Stealth Elf informed.
"Take your time and catch up as soon as you can." Sonata said before heading back as her friends were testing their weapons.
"No new powers." Mikey sighed.
"Not surprised. We need to find Persephone since us Skylanders somehow lost more of our powers too, leaving us with only two attacks." Spyro explained.
"Oh! I think I found these at the Shattered Isle and Perilous Pastures." Pinkie remembered as she brought out two objects, one that had Chop Chop on it, and the other having the face of a living tree.
"I see you have found a fragment of my power and of Stump Smash’s, a Soul Gem." Chop Chop noted as the Soul Gem that had him on it suddenly flew into the skeleton. "But due to the loss of my powers, I cannot use it yet."
"Don't sweat it, CC. We got your back." Mikey smiled.
"That's what a team does." Pinkie agreed.
"What’s goin’ on here?" Sonata asked.
"Just explaining that we can unlock more powers... With the right key." Drobot answered.
"Nice." Sonata noted.
"Wait a second… Since the abilities of Mikey, Sonata and Pinkie have been changed here, I wonder if…" Lightning Rod started to wonder.
"If their powers can be upgraded?" Spyro finished the thought.
"We'll worry about that later. Let's get moving. Boomer, you stay here and rest." Mikey requested.
"Okay." Boomer responded.
"Everyone in the balloon. Let's go." Sonata said.
"Ready to take off into the wild blue with Skylands’ greatest pilot?" Flynn asked.
"Just don't get us killed." Sonata responded.
"Guys, wait up!" Stealth Elf urged as she arrived.
"That was fast." Sonata noted as Flynn started taking off and everyone helped Stealth Elf in before Flynn hit the pillar again.
"Oh yeah, that’s two for me! But who’s counting. Oh yeah… I am." Flynn boasted.
Soon, the heroes arrived at the Sky Schooner Docks.
"Wow, this place looks pretty busy." Pinkie noticed.
"All we need to do is find their elite airship, take it down, and steal their Golden Propeller. See? Simple! This is gonna be a piece of cake. Especially for heroes like us. Heroes who like cake." Flynn said, unintentionally offending Pinkie a bit.
"Be wise, Flynn." Pinkie snarled.
"Doesn't look like we can sneak through. Looks we got to go loud and proud." Mikey noticed.
"Right behind you, Mike-o!" Terrafin agreed.
"Heavy attack!" Wham-Shell added.
"It seems we will be traveling a long distance." Drobot noticed before he and everyone else charged at the Drows, defeating them until the wind started attacking them
"What's going on?!" Sonata gasped.
"Scanning wind attacks." Drobot said before he and Lightning Rod figured out what that was.
"An Elemental Djinn!" Lightning Rod realized.
"I see it, up in the tower! And there's a fairy there!" Sonata noticed.
"Spyro, with me. Sling, cover us!" Pinkie said.
"Got it!" Spyro responded.
"Understood!" Flameslinger agreed as Pinkie and Spyro rushed to the tower, but the Djinn saw them while the blindfolded elf readied his bow. "Focus on me!" Flameslinger called out as he fired a burning arrow at the Djinn, drawing its attention to him while he kept shooting at him. "That's right! I'm right here!" Flameslinger taunted as the Djinn attacked him, but forgot Pinkie and Spyro.
"Bone Ball!" Pinkie shouted as she twirled her flail and threw her attack as Spyro gave it extra strength before she landed her striker on the Djinn, defeating it as the fairy was freed.
"Who's she?" Sonata asked.
"This is Persephone the Fairy." Chop Chop introduced.
"Hello extremely! So much fun that the Skylanders are back, my friends! We dairies always dance with the Skylanders. As Chop Chop said, my new friends, I am Persephone." Persephone greeted.
"Ms. Persephone, can you upgrade our powers with your magic?" Mikey requested, but before the fairy could answer, the group heard a Drow ship moving.
"Oh dear! At it again, silly Drow! I’d best go back to the Core of Light. I will meet you there later for dancing. Happy luck, my friends." Persephone said as she then vanished.
"Oh, rats." Mikey groaned.
"We'll worry about that later! We've got Drows to beat up!" Terrafin pointed out.
"And the ship would be the suitable bridge for us to get across." Drobot added as the ship came to a stop and lowered the right drawbridge as Drow came out to attack.
"Mikey, heads up!" Terrafin called out as he threw a Drow.
"Huh? WHOA!" Mikey yelped as a huge Drows swung at him, but he dodged just in time. "Easy there, Tiny." Mikey quipped as he swung his hammer around as the light end grew a vine whip as it lashed the Drow multiple times.
"A Goliath Drow?!" Stealth Elf gasped as she and the rest of the group saw a giant Drow with shield gauntlets.
"Wham-Shell, Stealth Elf follow my lead and keep up with my speed!" Sonata informed.
"Got it!" Wham-shell responded.
"Understood, mistress!" Stealth Elf added as the trio ran around the Goliath in a circle.
"Attack him now!" Sonata shouted as Wham-Shell launched launched starfish shuriken anf Stealth Elf lunged with her blades. The Goliath Drow took each attack, unable to defend himself. "Time to fall, Tiny!" Sonata smirked as sheSonata and her swords glowed purple before an azure astral copy of her appeared on the exact opposite side of the Drow. "Tidal Slash!" Sonata shouted as she and her copy slashed the Drow with both swords from both sides at the same time with their Elemental Water power.
"Nice trick, Nata." Wham-Shell smirked.
"Excellent technique, Mistress." Stealth Elf smiled.
"It just somehow felt natural." Sonata responded as she was rubbing the back of her head in embarrassment with a smile.
"Wow, magic mirror copies, huh?" Spyro noted with a smirk as everyone soon reached a turret.
"Sling, you should handle this." Mikey said.
"Very well." Flameslinger accepted as Stealth Elf opened the hatch before he jumped in and closed it as the back of the turret guns gained symbols. "Keep an eye out for the Elite Airship."
"Right, and when we tell ya when it’s in your range, shoot it down!" Pinkie agreed as she and everyone else watched Flameslinger shoot down airship after airship until the Elite Airship arrived. "There it is!"
"Thank you, but I do not think it will fall in a single shot. So multiple will have to be sufficient." Flameslinger noticed.
"Understandable, buddy." Mikey admitted.
"But wowee! That turret’s shooting real fireballs!" Pinkie awed in amazement as after a series of heavy shots, the airship came crashing down before everyone saw a an axe-wielding Skylander walking towards them.
"Voodood!" Spyro gasped when the airship crashed through a locked gate, tearing it apart as the Golden Propeller broke off of it before Voodood brought his axe out. "Easy, buddy. It's us, your friends." Spyro called out as Voodood tightened his grip while glaring at the group.
"Guess we'll have to knock some sense into you." Mikey said.
"Here we go!" Pinkie declared as Voodood started attacking his friends hard.
"Lightning Rod, can you generate low level electricity that's non-lethal when mixed with water?" Sonata asked.
"Indeed." Lightning Rod answered as the eye sockets of the skull at the end of Pinkie’s flail glowed red before it breathed out fire as she swung the flail around Voodood.
"Pinkie, Chop, Sling, try and restrain Voodood." Sonata ordered.
"Okie-dokie!" Pinkie responded.
"Understood!" Chop Chop agreed.
"Agreed!" Flameslinger added before Pinkie threw Bone Ball after Bone Ball as Flameslinger fire arrows that surrounded Voodood.
"Sorry, comrade." Chop Chop apologized in advanced as he then used his shield to imprison Voodood.
"Ready?" Sonata checked.
"Yes, I am." Lightning Rod answered as he threw the weak bolt.
"This wave may be a bit of a shock!" Sonata quipped as she threw a light water wave and the combined attacks electrocuted Voodood. The attack definitely affected Voodood, but then he got angry as his axe sparkled with electricity. "Terrafin, hit him now!"
"You got it!" Terrafin responded as he rushed forward and punched Voodood right in the jaw. "Knockout!" Terrafin roared as that final punch made Voodood fall unconscious.
"Is he going to be okay?" Mikey asked.
"Yeah, that was a light tap." Terrafin answered.
"LIGHT TAP?" The Goofball Trio repeated in shock as they and the Skylanders grabbed the propeller and Voodood.
"Golden Propeller secured." Drobot said as Flynn then showed up in his balloon.
"Well, that’s impressive. Almost as impressive as me. Boom! Now we should be able to fly even higher!" Flynn said.
"Yo Wham, give me a hand with Voodood." Terrafin requested.
"Right." Wham-Shell responded.
"C’mon! Let’s get back so I can get to work! We’ll slap this baby on, fly on up to the impenetrable stronghold, pick up the Eternal Air thingy, and then be back in time for my date with Cali. If she doesn’t faint from anticipation first." Flynn boasted.
"Don't count on it, buddy." Mikey said as everyone boarded the balloon with Voodood and the Golden Propeller as it set off to head back to the Core’s Ruins.
As they arrived at their base, Voodood started waking up.
"Hey, somebody make sure his binds are secured." Sonata requested.
"Ugh… Huh…?" Voodood groaned as Flameslinger took aim.
"VD, you there bud?" Spyro asked in concern.
"Spyro, what happened?" Voodood said in confusion as he found his hands tied together. "Okay, better question: What's going on?"
"He’s back to normal, everyone." Spyro smiled after a sigh of relief.
"Sorry, pal. You were under Kaos' control." Stealth Elf informed as she cut him free of his binds.
"What?!" Voodood gasped in shock and horror.
"It's true." Spyro confirmed in exhausting as Persephone appeared.
"Happy to dance in this old place. Here is bright and smooth with many secret parties. We’ll play here for a while time. Before you leave, I will help you. I will! I will!" Persephone smiled as she went to an area that recently opened up.
"Secret parties?!" Pinkie asked, extremely excited.
"She doesn't speak English too well does she?" Sonata noticed.
"Not really." Stealth Elf responded.
"Half the time it takes a while to decipher what she's really saying." Wham-Shell added.
"I can see you hit it off with Persephone. Strange girl, that one… seems to be immune to my charms. Poor thing. Well, it’s gonna take me some time to install this propeller. So why don’tcha cool your jets. Take a load off." Flynn suggested as the Goofball Trio and Skylanders walked over to Persephone.
"Can you give us new powers?" Mikey asked.
"Hello extremely once more! Indeed I can." Persephone answered.
"You three might need this." Terrafin said as he brought out a treasure chest filled with riches. "Managed to grab it from some of the Drows back at the docks."
"Hmm… Somehow that reminds me of Adagio." Sonata said to herself.
"Will this cover our upgrades?" Pinkie asked.
"Indeed extremely! One for each of you. But you can choose which one you will want." Persephone said as three sets of five upgrades appeared, one set for each of the Goofball Trio, while the fifth upgrade of each of the sets seemed to be locked and have a purple background.
"Nothing happened." Sonata noted.
"Those locking mechanisms weren't on your swords earlier." Lightning Rod added.
"Besides, you have to choose which upgrade you want at the moment since what Terrafin got is only enough for one upgrade for each of us right now." Flameslinger informed as Sonata connected her swords and a mystic energy surged through them.
"That's cool!" Pinkie awed as she thrusted her hand down and a skeleton hand came out the ground
"Let me try!" Mikey said as he tapped his hammer on the ground before a tree erupted right in front of the hammer. "Awesome!" Mikey cheered as the Skylanders chose their upgrades.
"We’ll choose these ones!" The Goofball Trio declared as the riches suddenly turned into magical energy as they suddenly beamed the Goofball Trio and Skylanders from all sides before they exploded, the group completely unharmed, but feeling stronger.
"I think we should name our weapons... Lifestone." Mikey smiled.
"Scorching Skull." Pinkie smirked.
"Mystic Tides." Sonata grinned.
"Now THOSE sound awesome." Spyro said, impressed.
"You guys get your powers back?" Mikey asked.
"A bit, but not all of them. At least we can use our third abilities now." Spyro answered as he took off and flew, same with Drobot.
"Whoa... We knew you could fly, but this is awesome!" Sonata awed in amazement.
"Totally!" Mikey agreed.
"Yeah!" Pinkie cheered as the Goofball Trio were gonna train and rest with the Skylanders until the balloon's ready.

Stormy Stronghold
Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure
The Goofball Trio met up with General Robot. "Su-PERB job, Soldiers! You three and the Skylanders have done Skylands proud!"
"Sir, thank you sir." Mikey saluted when out of nowhere, darkness fell over the sky.
"I may be a great General, but when it comes to the supernatural, I am O-U-DOUBLE T-OUT! This is my last Hu-rah! Good luck with the war, soldiers!" General Robot said as he retreated into the hatch.
"Your tour is done, General." Pinkie added while she was rocking Inferno in her arms.
"The General might have the right idea. On the other hand, the spirits of the Undead don't cross over unless they are severely disturbed. Perhaps you should investigate. That noise is coming from the beach." Hugo informed.
"Okay. Terrafin, Flameslinger, Stealth Elf you three come with us for support as a precaution." Sonata ordered.
"Alright." Terrafin nodded.
"Very well." Flameslinger added.
"Yes, Mistress." Stealth Elf agreed.
"I will accompany as well." Chop Chop volunteered.
"This is just scouting, but sure." Sonata accepted as the scouting party went down to beach and to the stone door near Clam-Tron. But when the group approached the door, it suddenly opened, then a skeleton head with eyes jumped out.
"BOOO!!!" A skeleton head shouted, making Sonata, Pinkie and Mikey scream at that as Inferno only laughed while the stone door closed. "HA ha! Uh in case you weren't hip to it that's how we skeletons say hello! *Silence* Nothin'. Huh."
"That wasn't exactly funny!" Pinkie pointed out while trying to calm Inferno down, who noticed the skeleton only being a head.
"Well it figures. Not much of a skeleton right now. Seem to be missing a bone or two or 204 more like. HA! Anyway, can’t seem to find my body right now. Heh. Embarrassin’, I know." The skeleton head said.
"Okay, we'll help you." Mikey shrugged.
"It's okay, sweetie. Mommy's here." Pinkie assured a crying Inferno.
"By the way, I’m T-Bone." The skeleton introduced himself.
"Well, let's find your body." Sonata said.
"Actually, heard you making a ruckus up here. Loud enough to wake the Undead. HA! Little afterlife humor there. *More silence* Wow. Tough room. And you think I’M DEAD." T-Bone joked.
"No, I've just heard these jokes before." Sonata explained.
"HEY! You and your friends are Skylanders ain’t ya!? Oooh! You know, I could really used some help finding my body. What do you say, pals? Huh!? You want to help me find the rest of me?" T-Bone requested.
"Sure, pal. Just point the way." Mikey answered.
"AWWW! Thanks a MILLION, bub! Y’know, I’d shake your hands, but ha ha I think mine’s out there somewhere. Never mind. Don’t worry about me I’ll just put myself together as I go." T-Bone said before Inferno’s hands jumped off as Inferno chirped and mewled, like his hands were finding something in the sand.
"Ferny, we'll play in the sand later." Pinkie tried to tell Inferno.
"Wait, I think he senses something." Stealth Elf noticed.
"Indeed, possibly T-Bone’s pieces." Chop Chop added.
"Go get Slam. He can help dig." Mikey said before Inferno chirped and mewled in excitement, indicating he found something.
"Stand back." Slam Bam responded as he arrived, but when he got to Inferno’s talons, there was a pile of bones.
"Those your bones, T-Bone?" Mikey asked as T-Bone headed into the pile before coming out as a skull and a leg.
"Alright! Ooh baby! I’m feeling better already! C’mon! Keep lookin’!" T-Bone answered.
"Good thing we have a guide." Sonata smiled as Inferno chirped and mewled, excited again.
"Dig over here!" Pinkie said before the group soon found another pile of bones as T-Bone was later a right leg, a left arm/hand, a head, a pelvis and a midsection.
"Hey, looka me! Er, actually, I’m a body’s half full kinda guy. Hhhahhaha. Just need one more pile o’ bones, baby, and I’ll be the death of a party again. HA!" T-Bone laughed as Inferno clawed at the last spot. After making some turtle bridges, the group to the last pile of bones, helping T-Bone become a complete skeleton. "Ohhh yeah, baby! Feels good to rattle ‘em, again! Cha-cha-cha!"
"Good boy, Ferny." Pinkie smiled as Hugo showed up.
"Uh, no offense, Mr. T-Bone, but I can't help noticing that your head would make a perfect receptacle for the next Eternal Source. You wouldn't happen to have an extra head on you, would you?" Hugo requested.
"Hmmm. Lemme see. Extra head... extra head... Course I don't have an extra head! Sheesh! The living. Can't live with them, can't. Oh. Never mind. Actually Chubs, I could tell you where to find a pretty good one. Not as handsome as mine, of course, but you know. Actually, it's more like a mask. Will that work?" T-Bone wondered.
"Perfect! And can you take our Skylander heroes there?" Hugo asked.
"Well... seeing as how you did help me recover the rest of my body, I suppose I could help you out. Depends on you guys. Think you can handle, going down to the Underworld?" T-Bone checked.
"It's your hometurf, Pinkie. Your call." Mikey said as Inferno chirped.
"Yeah, let's do it!" Pinkie cheered as Inferno mewled in excitement.
"Right! Here we go! Oh, you're gonna love this." T-Bone grinned.
"Down we go." Double Trouble quipped.
"Mommy has work to do. You play in the sand. Sonic, babysit my son till we get back!" Pinkie requested.
"Right." Sonic Boom responded.
"Let's get going!" Pinkie urged as Lightning Rod appeared with Drobot.
"Don't count us out." Lightning Rod said.
"We will accompany you." Drobot added.
"Then let's get going, boys." Mikey declared before T-Bone opened the door as the group went inside to the staircase spiraling down with him, then the door closed by itself. "This is very spooky."
"Sometimes, it's really fun to be scared!" Pinkie smiled as Sonata hummed 'This is Halloween' before they arrived. The group noticed that the staircase they were walking down were now spines held up by ropes as they reached the bottom.
"Skull mask… Skull mask. I know exactly where it is… I think. If you think about it, it’s kinda redundant having a Skull Mask in the Underworld. You know, WHO’D WEAR IT! HA! We’re all skulls! Kinda silly." T-Bone noted.
"Thanks for the direction. You can head back up." Pinkie said.
"Oookay. Should be fine. Just as long as we don’t run into any spiders. *Spider drops in* WAAAAHHHH! Sorry, bub! You and your friends are on your own!" T-Bone yelped as he ran back up the staircase with the spider chasing him.
"Whimp. Come on, let's find that mask." Sonata urged as the group moved forward, breaking past a stone wall before encountering a few Spider Swarmers before Pinkie threw a piece of burning coal at them and easily destroyed them. The group broke past another stone wall while moving through cobwebs before encountering many more Spider Swarmers.
"These guys are just much of vermin as Oogie!" Sonata groaned while the group easily beat the enemies before Pinkie grabbed a bomb and threw it at a cracked wall, revealing more Spider Swarmers and a Spider Spitter.
"What I would give for a can of bug spray!" Flameslinger quipped while shooting flaming arrows.
"Aye, my friend! *Charging lightning* But a bug zapper is just as good!" Lightning Rod agreed as the group noticed protective clouds floating around him while the cloud titan smirked.
"Here's a conductor: Tidal Slash!" Sonata shouted before Lightning Rod fired a lightning bolt with his cloud, electrifying the attack as it hit the Spider Swarmers and Spider Spitter, beating them before Pinkie looked up to the left and saw a key on higher ground.
"Could be a bounce pad around here somewhere." Pinkie noted.
"Let's look around." Chop Chop added as it didn't take long for the group to find some bounce pads.
"Sling, keep an eye on that key. I have feeling there's trouble close by." Mikey requested.
"Blindfold, remember?" Flameslinger pointed out.
"You know what I mean." Mikey responded.
"Yeah." Flameslinger nodded while he and the others stayed alert as Mikey went for the key.
"Got it!" Mikey called out.
"Nothing happened." Sonata noted as the group moved forward before spotting a gate with three locks.
"Oh, rats." Pinkie groaned before a Fat Belly Spider dropped in, having a large behind filled with spider goo.
"Ew." Sonata gagged.
"With enemies like this, the aftermath of beating them is worse." Slam Bam explained.
"Then let's get the keys so we can get to the mask!" Mikey urged as the group attacked the spider and beat it before it exploded, leaving behind a puddle of spider goo.
"Disgusting." Sonata heaved
"Another cracked wall to the right, so we'll need a bomb. I wonder where that bounce pad goes to." Pinkie noticed.
"Let's find out." Stealth Elf added as the group used the bounce pad, heading upward and finding a bomb.
"Handy." Double Trouble noted as Pinkie grabbed the bomb and threw it at the cracked wall from above, blowing it up and opening a path forward.
"Anything on your sensors, Drobot?" Lightning Rod asked.
"Two Fat Belly Spiders and Hob 'n' Yaro, one of the spiders is behind a cracked wall with a key, and the Hob 'n' Yaro has a key." Drobot informed.
"Another bomb then." Pinkie added.
"Sounds like a plan." Sonata smiled when Pinkie was suddenly carrying another bomb.
"There was another bomb back there." Pinkie explained.
"Fire in the hole!" Mikey shouted before Pinkie threw the bomb as it exploded, taking out the wall from the inside and the Fat Belly Spider, while the key was unharmed.
"I'll get it." Stealth Elf said.
"Then I’ll handle the Hob 'n' Yaro." Flameslinger added.
"I'm right behind you, buddy!" Terrafin responded.
"Then I shall take care of the other spider." Chop Chop volunteered.
"Try using this." Pinkie said while offering her flail.
"Hmm?" Chop Chop noted.
"Just try it." Pinkie insisted.
"...Very well." Chop Chop nodded as he took Pinkie's weapon and charged. "Let's see how my bramble attack does with this." Chop Chop wondered as Cursed Bone Brambles covered the weapon, turning it into a mace. "Burning Bramble!" Chop Chop shouted as the Cursed Bone Brambles suddenly lit aflame before he defeated all of the spiders with it. "Of course... Some of elements weaken each other, but others enhance our strengths." Chop Chop noticed before the group heard spikes lowering into the ground. "Uh-oh."
Pinkie looked over and saw no enemies past the spear gate. "Looks like it's just Spyro's Soul Gem."
"Excellent. Grab it and let's go." Chop Chop said.
"Sure thing." Pinkie nodded as Stealth Elf returned with her key.
"That'll make Spyro happy." Stealth Elf smiled as Flameslinger returned with his key.
"Hob 'n' Yaro was tougher than last time." Flameslinger noted.
"But nothing we couldn't beat." Terrafin added.
"That's all three keys. Let's open that gate." Sonata counted.
"And get out of here." Mikey pointed out as the group unlocked the gate and moved forward before the area darkened as Spider Swarmers and Spitters dropped in.
"These vermin are everywhere!" Slam Bam growled while punching spiders as Chop Chop destroyed a wooden wall.
"Don’t worry, I made us a path forward." Chop Chop assured.
"Move it people!" Mikey urged as the group went into a hallway filled with piles of bones.
"Nobody look down." Sonata warned.
"Don't tell me, you think there are spider enemies under those piles?" Pinkie guessed.
"Oogie experience. Just slowing move forward and don't touch the bones." Sonata informed as the group slowly crept forward in the hall, but Mikey accidentally knock a bone over as it rolled into the other pile of bones. But nothing happened. "Huh... Never mind." Sonata noticed as Mikey sighed in relief before the bone piles suddenly scattered as Spider Swarmers and Spitters erupted from them. "OH COME ON!"
“LET'S JUST RUN!” Mikey shouted before Lightning Rod attacked with his Zapper Field, electrifying the Spider Swarmers and Spitters.
“Great job, Rod!” Pinkie smiled.
“One Strike and You’re Out!” Lightning Rod quipped, letting out his battle cry.
“Come on!” Mikey said as the group exited the hallway before the lights brightened back up.
“That's better.” Slam Bam smiled.
“Stop!” Pinkie shouted before spikes lunged out of the ground upward in front of the group after they stopped, narrowly avoiding the trap.
“Nice save, Pinkie!” Mikey said in relief as the spikes lower into the floor.
"Move!" Pinkie pointed out as the group got past the trap before encountering a Moon Widow.
"What's that?" Sonata asked as the Moon Widow moved around very quickly, leaving behind webs on the ground before the group noticed a Fat Belly Spider.
"Let's just keep moving. Stone Wave." Mikey said as his attack beat the spiders before the turtle noticed a cyclops switch from the Cyclops Castle beyond a spinning spike column trap and a bomb to their left.
"This is sad." Double Trouble sighed.
"We only have four seconds to activate both switches before the gate raises again." Drobot informed.
"Okay, four of us get to the switch and someone at the gate." Sonata planned.
"Actually, there’s another switch on higher ground that will need a bomb thrown to it." Pinkie noticed.
"Okay, we'll just rush it." Sonata admitted.
"We better get ready to hit them at once." Mikey said as everyone got ready.
"NOW!" Sonata shouted as the group attacked the switches with their abilities and the bomb, fully lowering the gate. "MOVE!" Sonata urged as the group moved forward, past traps and fighting Moon Widows, Spider Swarmers and Spitters. "It's like my first Halloween Halloweentown visit!" Sonata smiled while swinging her swords, catching Chop Chop's attention. "What?"
"GIANT SPIDER!" Pinkie and Mikey yelled out as the group encountered a Gargantula.
"Great, I hate these things." Slam Bam groaned as the Gargantula fired a string of web, hitting Sonata before pulling her in.
"Wrong me." Sonata quipped as she suddenly transformed into an astral clone. "Mystic Slash!" Sonata shouted from behind as she attacked the Gargantula.
"These things are a lot tougher." Flameslinger said as he was shooting flaming arrows.
"We can handle that." Pinkie smiled.
"Then let's take this beast out!" Lightning Rod nodded.
"Let's go!" Mikey shouted as everyone started hammering the Gargantula hard. The group soon defeated the Gargantula before it transformed into five Spider Swarmers and attacked the group.
"Nasty." Sonata gagged while slicing the Spider Swarmers before Pinkie noticed a key and a locked gate just up ahead.
"A key?" Pinkie noticed as she grabbed the key and unlocked the gate before opening it.
"Sweet." Mikey smiled as the group went into another hallway before it darkened when Pinkie saw a small ball like creature as it chirped.
"Hey little guy, wanna come with us?" Pinkie gently asked as the creature walked up to her. "I won't hurt you."
The creature's cheeks suddenly bloated up green with his eyes turned ready before it let out a HUGE green fire belch at a wooden wall, before it turned to a pile of ash.
"Whoa." Chop Chop simply said.
"What the heck is it?" Sonata asked
"Beats me." Pinkie shrugged.
"Can we focus on getting the mask?" Mikey pointed out as the group moved forward to a room, seeing a HUGE pile of bones at the center of it.
"You think it's another brainwashed Skylander ambush?" Sonata checked.
"Nope." Pinkie shook her head.
"Still, stay alert." Mikey advised as it took quite a while, traveling through the dark, beating spiders and blowing up walls before the group got two keys and soon found the gate with two locks.
"Let's get through here." Pinkie said as the group got out of the dark before tens of Spider Swarmers, Spitters, Moon Widows and a few Gargantulas dropped in. "Okay Burpy, a little help here." Pinkie requested, but the creature now known as Burpy did nothing, before the party girl got an idea. "Sorry, Burpy." Pinkie apologized as she started shaking Burpy rapidly.
"Get clear!" Mikey yelped as Burpy bloated up before letting out large fire burp on the area in front of the group, reducing the enemies to ash before a few Spider Swarmers came out of them.
"Be careful with that... Whatever it is." Slam Bam warned.
"I’ll take a look when we get back." Sonata volunteered.
"Let's just get the mask." Flameslinger pointed out as a gate lowered before the group saw the mask just ahead.
"Success!" Lightning Rod cheered.
"Definitely." Sonata agreed as the group got the mask and soon returned to T-Bone at the base of the stairs.
"Heeeey. I’m impressed. You actually got the Skull Mask? Not bad for most of you living-types. You might smell kinda funny but you guys are alright. Hey, sorry about before. It’s just, you know, spiders like to, steal my bones. Long story. Tell you over some ribs." T-Bone said.
"Wanna help us save Skylands, Burpy?" Pinkie asked as Burpy chirped. "I'll take that as a 'Yes'."
Soon, the group got back to the Core of Light Ruins with the Skill Mask.
"Here's the next piece." Mikey noted before Master Eon appeared as the Skull Mask started floating.
"Excellent! The Skull Mask of the Philosopher King Mortalannis, first Lord of the Undead." Master Eon explained as the Skull Mask floated towards the ring center with the sideways vertical gear rotating counterclockwise before its eyes glowed, causing a pair of purple eyes to glow and appear deep underneath the Core of Light.
"Awesome." Mikey smiled as Hugo showed up.
"The Skull Mask fits perfectly! Now we just need the Eternal Undead Source!" Hugo listed.
"You know where it is, T-Bone?" Sonata asked.
"Nice. Hey, sirenthroat, if you’re, uh, looking for any Eternal Undead Source, I might know a guy…" T-Bone was about to suggest.
"Uh, we’re not looking for AN Eternal Undead Source, we’re looking for THE Eternal Undead Source." Hugo clarified.
"Well o’ course! I knew that. What other kind is there?" T-Bone responded.
"Splendid then! Let’s go get it!" Hugo declared.
"Wooooooooah, slow it down there! You can’t just walk in and get it! It’s being guarded by some ghouls over in the Creepy Citadel! It’s uh creepy. You know says so in the name. What we really need to get in there, is the Skeleton Key!" T-Bone pointed out.
"You can explain more later, I’m party-pooped." Pinkie yawned as Inferno crawled up to his mom. "Oh? *Picks up Inferno* You wanna take a nap with me, Ferny?" Pinkie asked before Inferno kissed her. "Aww… Is that a yes?"
"I'm beat, too." Sonata admitted.
"Whew, better tuck in for now." Mikey agreed as the Goofball Trio were gonna take a well-deserved nap.
