Skylanders
I'm making this story purely out of enjoyment, its based of the franchise Skylanders and takes inspiration from Bakugan. I hope you enjoy so here's the first Chapter!
Chapter 1: Skylands
"Jason, come here I want you to see this caribou over there." Said Jorge, a cheerful, whimsical and short boy with strong arrogance.
"I don't care about caribou." Said Jason, a quiet, calm and individual person with long, brown hair.
"Jason become here right now and see the caribou!" Shouted Jorge, truly showing his arrogance.
"I'll see it. Moose are way better, so I need to see how sucky this caribou looks." said James, a smart, and obedient computer whiz.
"Well yeah, they're like the same thing." replied Connor, an inappropriate but caring boy with long blondish brown hair.
Connor was immediately pinned to the tree, and was face-to-face with the tall, brown haired boy, with an annoyed look in his eye.
"They are not! Moose and caribou are like not even close to the same thing! Moose have a bigger body but caribou have bigger antlers and their snouts are completely different!" James denied.
He then let go of his friend and continued as if nothing happened. These four boys were part of an overnight trip to Ottawa with their school. They were in the forest in a tour with the other grade 8's.
"Hey guys come over here they're talking about all the animals in the forest." called Gary, another one of their friends who has dirty blond hair and a knack for trash talking everyone.
The boys walked over to the group, interested about the wildlife within the Ottawa region. Once the tour was over the kids were given time to shop around the streets with their money.
The boys were walking towards a souvenir store when Gary decided to go to the bathroom back at the plaza and forced the boys to not move on without him. They did their quick shopping and started waiting for Ian.
"I need to ask something to all of you." yelled a familiar voice. It was a blond-haired girl with a lot of stubbornness.
"Oh hey Alice." said Jason, with a curiosity of why she wanted to talk to them as she never does voluntarily.
"We are wondering if you guys knew where the antique store is, our parents wanted something pretty so we want to give them something from there." Said a brown haired girl with a very calm and gentle voice called Skyler.
"Yeah, it's over that street turn a left then right and its right there." Answered Jorge.
"Thanks, babe." Said Alice, winking at Jorge and turning away. Jorge used to like Alice so she was attempting to charm him. It didn't work though as Jorge's feelings for her ended at the beginning of the year.
"What are you doing, hanging out with my friends?" Said a black-haired girl with a true talent for singing, backed up by her tall, blonde friend.
"Maëlyse, Lily, what's up." Said Jorge, sounding nervous as he knew there would be a fight.
"They're not exclusively yours, Maëlyse!" replied Alice, with ferocity in her tone. Skyler and Lily immediately moved to where the boys were standing as they didn't hate each other as much as these two did. They hated each other more than lions and spotted hyenas.
"They are my friends, not yours!" shouted Maëlyse .
"They are friends with us, aren't u guys!" yelled Alice.
"I will be if you sleep with me." Said Connor, letting his inner affections for women take over.
"Connor!" yelled all the kids excluding Connor.
"I tried to be friends with you, but you talked behind my back and said mean things." Maëlyse hissed.
"Those things weren't my own words, they were Marie's" countered Alice, but you could see she was a bit surprised by what she knew.
The girls then turned away, giving each other the silent treatment. Then, out of nowhere, the sky immediately turned grey, the clouds stirred up. Something was going on. The children had no idea what to do, when suddenly, a light beam shot from the sky to the ground, engulfing the group of young guns.
They were gone…
The kids have been transported to another dimension known to some as Skylands, filled with many creatures native to Earth. Jorge was transported to a lush and green forest.
"Where am I? Where is everyone?" questioned the short black-haired boy. He looked around to see the beautiful wildlife and green scenery.
Jorge was confused as to where he was, believing he was still on Earth. Meanwhile, in another part of Skylands, Maëlyse was stuck in the realm of the undead, creeped out by all the skeletons and dead trees.
"What is all this creepy stuff? Last thing I remember I was fighting against Alice in Ottawa and something tells me this isn't Ottawa. Whatever this place is, it gives me the willies." protested Maëlyse Elsewhere, others were in their own special environment. Jeremy was in the middle of an active volcano, evading the rising lava as best as he could. Alice was in what seemed to be the arctic slipping and falling all over the sleek sheet of ice like a person tripping over a banana peel. Connor was in the middle of the sky, and the only thing stopping him from falling were floating rocks suspended by gravity. Skyler was underground in caves, lost in all the network of tunnels and where they would lead her. James was in what seemed to be a high tech factory filled with all sorts of bombs and lasers which clearly freaked out James. Lily was in an ancient temple with lots of energy flowing throughout it. They were all confused as to where they were and what they were doing there, but it was all a plan created by an elderly man named Master Eon.
"These children might just be what we need to save the universe from the evil that is trying to steal the elemental energies to powering up their Skylanders to rule the world. I must send them the energies as soon as they get to the magical clearings." he decided
Jorge made it to the clearing fast, but was unable to go back the way he came from the thick foliage of trees blocking him. Maëlyse got to an ancient circle that seemed awfully scary and was instantly encased by a bunch of mystical bones blocking her escape. Jason was in a rock floating above the lava, streaming through the lava river like fish in a stream. Alice found a cave deep within the water and decided to go into it, but was blocked off by the water covering the entrance. Connor was stranded in a floating rock suspended high above the air. Skyler got to a clearing underground, but the rocks fell and blocked her escape. James was blocked off by automatic shutting gates, leaving him in an empty room. Lily was blocked by magical gates, forcing her to go into a royal room.
"They are in the proper places? Begin the transport immediately!" Eon commanded. As soon as the command left his mouth the Core of Light started emitting a strange light. A magical energy was exerted from the machine and into the rest of Skylands, seeking out its new masters. Eon turned around and saw that he was face-to-face with the villains ship!
"We will give you 5 minutes to give us the elemental energies. I suggest you hurry up. We don't like to be kept waiting." ordered the ship. Eon scrambled around trying to finish the last step of his plan. Eon projected his face and showed to the new 8 Portal Masters.
"You eight children have been chosen to defend the elemental energies. You must defend them at all costs, or your world and this world, Skylands. The eight elements; Life, Undead, Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Tech and Magic will be given to each of you eight children." instructed Eon.
"Your time is up. No elemental energies? Prepare the cannons." the ship ordered. The cannons were getting ready to fire, and Master Eon gave the last instructions to his young apprentices.
"These Skylanders will be your partners for now and will help you protect these energies. I will also provide you with portals, character cards and will teleport you back to your world. Take care of yourselves, you know what to do." The cannon fired. The island which Eon stood upon was now nothing more than a pile of rubble. The children were surprised as a random flow of energy appeared around them and started to surround them. Then, a sudden flash of light blinded them and, lo and behold, their magical Skylanders appeared before them. Jorge, deep within the forest, was taken by surprised as a green ninja had suddenly appeared as if from thin air.
" Hello, Jorge. My name is Stealth Elf and I am here to help protect the Life energy alongside you, my partner." Jorge was at a loss for words as the life warrior stood in front of him.
"Uh.. okay." was all Jorge could get out. Maëlyse was dumbstruck by the skeletal warrior who had been sent to protect her and the energy.
" Hello, my mistress. It seems as though my partner is a beautiful girl. I hope you're a good battler, though. We wouldn't want the bad guys to steal the Undead energy. My name is Chop Chop. At your service." and the undead warrior bowed. Maëlyse could only nod in agreement. Jason found a lava monster before him.
"My name is Eruptor. Ready to go, Jason?" Eruptor said before he let out a huge belch. Jason, amazed and disgusted by his new partner said "Yeah I'm ready"
Alice found a wet fish creature and was completely grossed out.
"What are you screaming at, girlie. Are you Alice?" said the fish. Amy nodded. "Well, hello Alice." the fish said, changing his voice to a more mellow, seductive tone. "My name is Gill Grunt and I am your knight in shining armor." he said making a 'hero' pose.
"You have got to be joking." Alice repulsed. Connor was not so hostile, as he saw the magical unicorn-dragon hybrid form in front of him.
" Hello, Connor. my name is Whirlwind." Whirlwind introduced in a soft, soothing voice.
Skyler met Terrafin, a land shark who was quite the character. James met Trigger Happy, an energetic little gremlin with dual pistols. You could say he was on a sugar rush all day every day. Lily met Spryo, a purple dragon with horns and powerful wings. You could tell by his voice that he was a natural born leader. Once the children all had met there Skylanders, they started to begin the transport back to Earth. In a second, they were all gone replaced by a flash of light.
The kids arrived back to Earth and it seemed as though time hadn't moved since last time they were there.
"Hey guys, what are all you doing here?" asked Gary as he came back from the bathroom.
"Where are we, guys?" asked Eruptor. Oh no! The kids didn't know if other people were able to know who the Skylanders were. Jason quickly made an excuse.
"Uh… voice crack?" Jason told in a confused tone.
"You're gonna keep growing!" Gary responded in a marveled expression. Jason could only give a small nod. All the kids had a good nights sleep and then the next day, they went back to school on the bus. They all agreed to meet up next Monday recess outside, since no one wants to be outside in the snow. It was tough hiding all the Skylanders from all their parents and some grew suspicious as to what they were doing.
Meanwhile…
On the ship that had caused Eon's demise, there were eight people in what seemed to be their teens, discussing what seemed to be important matters.
"I can't believe the energies got away from us, oh it makes me so mad that that old weasel tricked us!" shouted a big guy, with black hair and a red biker jacket and black ragged shorts.
"Quiet down, you fool. Your so loud it hurts my ears." complained a guy with white hair and a purple shirt and purple pants
" I can't! When im mad, I'm like a stampeding bull, no holding me back!" replied the big guy.
"Oh my god, boys are so ridiculous." complained a girl with brown skin and brown and tan shorts as she rolled her eyes.
At the end of the table, there was a man with orange hair, blue jacket and pants with a purple shirt. He seemed calm and composed and spoke up.
"Eon simply transported the energies elsewhere." he spoke in a calm manner. "Our radar detected eight children being transported here and teleported away."
"Well how do we know who it was, we just know the people were transported here." consoled the girl.
"Easy, our radar detects names too." replied the orange haired man.
"What, since when." demanded a little boy with a orange shirt, shorts and brown hair.
"Ever since I started working on the ships tracking system." boasted the white haired boy. The orange haired boy brought up the names of those people, or as they quickly found out, children. Jorge Garcia, Maëlyse Lambert, Jason Marlon, Alice Brooks, Connor Crawford, Skyler Rose, James Ross, Lily Quinn.
