This is a side story that takes place before "The Berbil Factory" Just an Idea my friend, General TigerDragon had. Most of the writing is his, But had to edit for clarity.
I do not own the characters of both franchises, I only own Koar.
Prologue, A Invitation from an Everliving.
The Skylanders, Koar, and the Thundercats were all gathered in the library, discussing about Kaos and Mumm-ra.
"...Ugh, Just after hearing about Mumm-ra is enough to make me not close my eyes. As soon as I close my eyes, I see the hideous face of Mumm-Ra in front of me, when he changes into a monster." Eruptor was shivering.
"And what do you think with whom we still have on the stump?" Panthro asked the fiery Skylander rhetorically. "...And this Kaos, is the most annoying guy I picked from all the people I could meet in my life..."
"I told you that he is very troublesome, and his sick desire to destroy everything with his insidious mind is a huge threat to Skyland, also for the third Earth." Koar said.
"And how can we be positive of Kaos and Mumm-Ra's threat level when they work together, Think they can do more damage then they could do alone?" Stealth Elf said after a moment.
"I would not be so sure about that." The Portal Master said skeptically.
"What do you mean, Koar?" Lion-o asked.
"We have been fighting Kaos for many years and I have found that it can be extremely two-faced. When it comes to alliances, you can expect him to stick a knife in your back." Koar replied to the young king.
"I know something about it, I used to have a friend, but he finally showed his true face when he started working for Mumm-Ra, helping him free himself." Panthro snarled reminding himself of a similar situation. "As a result, thanks to him I have these mechanical arms."
He was very literally as he showed his appearance.
"Apparently, but Kaos will certainly benefit from this temporary alliance. Not only to destroy us, but also to take what Mumm-Ra has..."Jet-Vac agreed with him.
"For example, the Sword of Plundar and one of the stones." Pop-Fizz fired scratching his head wondering. Everyone looked at him in shock.
"Pop, sometimes your statements give the simplest answer." Koar said after a moment.
"Really?" Pop lifted his eyebrow.
"It's stupid, even for him. That sword is way too dangerous, Lion-O, even carrying it on his back felt it's overwhelming evil in the mine." Tygra said unconvinced.
"That's why, Tygra, you do not understand it. Kaos is one of several people who can master the power of Darkness, and with this sword he can become much more powerful then Mumm-ra." Koar scolded him. "Even An ancient and powerful sorcerer like Mumm-ra is no match for a portal master of darkness...
"Just like your preferences." Tygra came in with a sly smile. Koar clenched his fist, It has been a week since Tygra discovered that Koar was gay and had a attraction to older, stronger males. A fact that Tygra tried to bring up to break Koar out of his shell.
"What preferences?" Lion-O asked looking between them.
"Nothing important, Lion-o." Cheetara replied with her elbow in the tiger's ribs. Tygra grimaced from pain, looking at her sorely, she looked at him firmly. Cheetara also knew about Koar's secret, and has been helping out by keeping Tygra's mouth shut. Much to Koar's gratitude.
"It does not matter to us, Koar is more than a leader and our mentor, he is our friend. If it was not for his help, no one knows what might have happened when Eon went missing." Stealth Elf said, jumping up and sitting on his shoulder, embracing him by the neck. Koar smiled softly, stroking the little elf's blue hair gently.
"Thank you, Elf, for your support. Okay, let's try to think about ..." Koar started, but something interrupted him.
"Master Koar ... Sir ..." It was Hugo who called him.
"As if this was not enough? What is it, Hugo, that you are interrupting us with an important council?" Koar rubbed his temple, turning to his assistant Mabu.
"Sorry for the interruption, Master Koar, but I have an important message for you." Hugo replied standing before his superior, bowing apologetically to his belt.
"What is this message?" The portal master asked crossing his arms.
"You have a very precious situation waiting in your office!" Hugo replied. Koar raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"I understand, I will be there right now." He said with full seriousness.
"Precious situation? What kind of?" Panthro asked with curiosity.
"Eh ... excuse me, it's a private matter." Koar answered quickly leaving. "We will discuss everything later."
"Did you notice how nervous he was at this?" Tygra said as soon as he left.
"I honestly say Koar has his secrets, just like Eon. We must respect that..."Jet-Vac said seriously, his arms behind his back.
"Oh, take it easy, Jet-Vac, are you not a little curious about this "precious" situation?" WilyKit announced slyly.
"When it is precious, it does not arouse any curiosity in you?" WilyKat added. Their tails moved simultaneously full of curiosity.
"Listen carefully, kids, I do not tolerate one in my life - rebellious cadets. Koar let you join the Skyladners, among other things, because he trusts Lion-O and the other Thundercats. You, on the other hand, assigned cadets to the Academy, so remember that you are not allowed to do anything without permission, Is that clear?" Jet-Vac thundered at them, looking at each of the faces of the twins, who stood with horror on their faces.
"As bright as the sun!" The choir twins responded to attention.
"Hahaha ... I like it. A bit of discipline will be useful to the twins, applause, Jet-Vac." Panthro chuckled at seeing the situation where the kids were. Jet-Vac turned his face to the general smiling proudly.
"Jet-Vac, relax, Kit and Kat are right. This whole "precious" situation is already arousing curiosity in me." Spyro said appearing behind the twins embracing them with two of his paws, attracting to himself. The twins grinned broadly at this support.
"Spyro, maybe you should respect Koar's privacy, you know you can get hit." Stealth Elf was skeptical about their idea.
"I agree with the Elf. In the end, he has his reasons to hide a lot of things." Cheetara agreed with her.
"Like why he likes to smell Panthro's old clothes?" Tygra raised a cunning eyebrow.
For that, he was hit again in the ribs. Panthro and Lion-O did not understand this, having a confused look on their faces, Spyro and the twins then quietly slipped out the door.
"Okay, who's going to catch Mumm-Ra in Koar's office?" Everyone heard Spyro's voice ring out.
"Mumm-wha..." Pop-Fizz was in shock.
"Come on!" Lion-o thundered to the rest of the group as they dashed off to catch up with the twins and Spyro.
The group burst through the doors of Koar's study just to see him talking with Mumm-ra, Pop Fizz released a battle cry and charge at the everliving...only to go right through his body and headbutting Koar's desk. "Everyone, Stand down, He's only here via an Astral Projection..." Koar said hands raise, he then looked at Mumm-ra. "...But if he was here, I would've smacked him across the jawline..."
"Hmp...You yet to tell your allies of my intrusion." Mumm-ra said before looking at the others coldly, causing the group to get in a battle stance. "I have only come here to offer a challenge to both Lion-o and Koar, including his Skylanders..."
"What's going on here?" Lion-o asked, Koar sighed.
"For the past five flipping days, Mumm-ra had been astral projection himself past the WorldHeart's barrier, I was about to banish him when you guys came in." Koar explained, Lion-o and the others lowered their guards. "It's been driving me insane..."
"So...He's not really here?" Tygra asked.
"Yes...But At the same time he is..." Koar growled as he looked at Mumm-ra's projection.
"A venomous tongue, no difference." Mumm-ra then began. "Tomorrow is the annual Skylands Battle Royal, The greatest warriors will be competing in the tourney, I will be entering the tournament myself, but I find no challenge in the competitors there, That's why I anticipated you will join the royal as well."
"And if we don't?" Lion-o asked.
"Then I'll destroy the coliseum along with the ten hundred oblivious spectators there." Mumm-ra said evily, causing the others to reel back in shock. Mumm-ra then left behind a maniacal laugh as he disappeared, having cut the connection.
"...Usually, I despise following the demands of a derange lunatic who rocks a red cloak, But he really made us bite the hand of peace and reason." Koar said before looking at Lion-o and the others. "You guys up for some classic gladiator skull cracking?"
"Even though it's possibly a trap and Mumm-ra might eviscerate us." Lion-o said sarcastically. "Sure, I'm gamed."
"This might be the perfect opportunity to apprehend the corpse!" Jet-Vac said arms crossed, Trigger Happy then jumped up on the air barons shoulder.
"When we catch him, Leave the talking to me..." Trigger Happy said before adding. "...And the trial, the verdict and the imminent execution."
"You can't be the Everliving's Judge, Jury, AND Executioner!" Jet-Vac said distress. "Don't I get to do anything?"
"You can be the guy who types out the events of the trial using one of those typewriters..." Trigger Happy added, causing the bird to sigh.
"Still, I thought Mumm-ra was above senseless violence." Stealth Elf asked. "Isn't he the more of the Senseless Killing type?"
"Now that I think about it, why would Mumm-ra be participating in a tourney filled with heroes..." Koar said thinking. "Hmm...I wonder..."
