We open our little story to a hidden lab where things were going up in smoke as a cloaked figure with a knife was running out and heading for the door.
"Hey! Stop! I brought you back! You should be following me!" a familiar scientist Yo-kai said.
"You? While I am thankful for my new life. I never said I would follow you." the figure said. "No, I have better plans in mind."
"Please. What could be more important than my revenge?" he said.
"Revenge of my own." the figure said running out. "I wont stop till I have it. I will put an end to you….Hope the Victor, for taking what belonged to me!"
The figure traveled across from world to world for a bit before coincidently ending up on the same train as Hope was.
"Why do i get the feeling a guns being pointed at my head?" Hope asked.
"There's no gun. But I think the person in that cloak is staring at you." Tulip said pointing to the figure in the back of the car as it stared at Hope.
"You think its a friendly look?" Hope asked nervously.
"No, I've seen that look before in soldiers and assassins. That figures stare is saying...I'm gonna kill you." Kenshin said.
"Were you planning on killing me?" Hope asked as it shook its head yes. "I was afraid you were gonna say that." Hope said as it pulled out a knife and ran at Hope, attempting to stab him in the heart. "Whoa! Take it easy!"
"You killed her. You took her from me. I won't stop until your dead." the figure said.
"Who? Who did i kill, does it look like i kill?" Hope asked.
"You don't remember me do you? Let me give you a hint." she said removing her cloak. The figure was a young girl with stitches all over her body with different colored body parts with a familiar face and short black hair.
"Mukuro Ikusaba?!" Hope asked.
"Thats right. " Mukuro said as her profile appeared like all Ultimates.
Mukuro Ikusaba
The Ultimate Soldier
"I'm back from the grave so I can get vengeance for you killing my sister!" Mukuro called out as Hope was struggling to keep the knife off of his person.
"I didnt kill her, she killed herself!" Hope said.
"I know she did. But you were the reason she did so in the first place. Therefore, you are the one responsible!" Mukuro said.
Kenshin then intervened as he knocked the knife from her hands.
"That's enough. There are innocent people on this train." Kenshin said.
"Besides, what has that psycho ever done to you being your sister?" Hope said.
"Well I…" Mukuro then went silent and changed to a blushing face.
"I mean, that bitch went and killed you and desecrated your corpse. Doesn't sound like a good sister to me." Hope said.
"Yes but….she has always wanted to kill me." Mukuro said gushing.
"What the heck is wrong with you!?" Leonis said in shock
"Its like shes a completely different person now…." Hope said.
"She was with the Ultimate Despair, and was sisters with Junko Enoshima. Its possible some of Junko's despair could have rubbed off on her during life." Tulip said.
"Well, I guess I know what to do. My secret despair draining technique." Hope said.
"You mean like when you jab your hand into someone's heart and suck all the despair into yourself?" Zexi said. "But is that gonna work on someone who...kicked the bucket once?"
"Good point there." Hope said. "I know Im asking for it, but…"
"Wait, I have a better idea." Abby said.
A few minutes later, Mukuro was tied up with all of her weapons confiscated.
"There. She won't be able to break free of this knot and there isn't anything she can attack with." Abby said.
"SO were just turning her in the minute we hit the Academy?" Hope asked.
"Bingo. She's a wanted killer and criminal. She needs just punishment." Tulip said.
"Well, I dont think she's bad, I mean… shes mislead." Hope said.
"Mislead? She tried to kill you five minutes ago." Leonis said.
"I know but... do we really have to turn her in?" Hope asked with pleading eyes.
"Ugh. I really hate it when people beg like that. Fine. We won't turn her in, but she's staying tied up until further notice." Tulip said.
They arrived at the Academy and saw it at all its glory.
"Wow. Its so….so." Leonis said.
'Yeah. I thought this place would have more appear." Zexi said.
"You'll get used to it." Hope said as he saw some veteran Skylanders on a racing line. "Sweet, we get to watch a race."
They saw as Spyro and Stealth Elf raced across the academy against each other before Stealth Elf stealthily crossed the finish line first. But as soon as the race was over, a strange purple light entered the Skylander Library.
"That aint good." Hope said as a Biclops in armor broke out of the building holding a large book. Spyro and Stealth Elf attacked it only to do minimal damage. But after that, three strong looking figures descended down from the sky as they did battle with the creature before it retreated away.
"Master, youve returned." Steath Elf said.
"Wait, you know these guys?" Spyro asked.
"Those three….King Pen, Ambush and Chopscotch. There have been legends about them, but I never considered them true. There they are though. The Senseis." Leonis said.
"Yes, We are the Senseis, which is A; awesome, and B; means we can train a Portal Master's Imaginators." King Pen said.
"Imaginators?" Tulip asked.
"I think its better so you do not complain, and let our true master Eon explain." Chopscotch said as Eon appeared.
"Greetings and welcome to Skylands. When our world was young, the ancients created our world using Mind Magic. Somehow, this power has been reawakened and now, they're using this power to make monsters. The portalmasters will now use mind magic to create heroes of their very own and to do this, I have sent in the best of skylander senseis ever assembled." Eon said before vanishing.
"And that would be you. But you all look different in style and combat expertise." Abby said.
"Thats because we train Imaginators based on what Battle Class they are. Its only natural that we do." Ambush said.
"Battle Classes?" Leonis asked.
"Theyre special combat styles senseis and Imaginators can lock into." King Pen said. "There are 10 different classes, Brawler, Sorcerer, Bowslinger, Knight, Swashbuckler, Quickshot, Ninja, Bazooker, Smasher, and Sentinel."
"Oh, I get it." Hope said. "So that means King Pen, judging by those bladed flippers, youre a Brawler…"
"Cool as any Brawler can be." King Pen thrusted out.
"Ambush has a Sword, so hes a Knight…" Hope said.
"An all natural one at that." Ambush said.
"And either Im goin crazy, or with that big axe and that small body, youve gotta be a Smasher, Chopscotch." Hope said.
"Correct to you, o boy in blue." Chopscotch said.
"Portalmasters from all over are creating imaginators as we speak. So lets get going and track down that monster, shall we?" King Pen said.
"I'll come too. No sense in a veteran assisting you guys." Spyro said.
"Why do we gotta put labels on these things? Let's just get going." Zexi said.
"Okay." Hope said before looking at Mukuro. "Oh, and shes coming too. Could someone carry her?"
"Ive got it." King Pen said carrying her.
"Onward!" Abby said as the adventure began.
