Zap's Rant
In San Fran, the entire city was in ruins, as armies upon armies of Arkeyan Robots marched all across town and across the planet, slaughtering all who dared to oppose them, while sparing those who did not. The massive armada of the Empire was busy attacking the military of Section 13, with their superior training and technology.
"How's it going there?" Jade asked Cody, as she and the JTeens evacuated Section 13, as the Empire destroyed it and killed all the staff for the dishonor committed by Captain Black against Aqua's apprentice Colleen, for standing up for Wally. The Aquatic Arkeyan Governess personally led the attack on the base itself, and had butchered the head of Section 13.
"Brutal. The Arkeyan Empire's got armies of those robots, and who knows what else they have," Cody responded, as footsteps were heard, the origin being Ice and Chrissie.
"Hey guys, I'm glad to see you, but it's still brutal out there," Chrissie spoke, frightened, "The people have evacuated, but the Empire continues to march across the face of the planet."
"I cannot believe the Empire slaughtered our relatives, and eliminated not only everyone who dishonored their people, but everyone related to everyone who dishonored their people," Cody sighed, in shock of the quick turn of events.
"As far as I'm concerned, the Arkeyan Empire did us all a favor by ripping apart our enemies and their folks," Ice spoke bitterly, as Colleen, Drago, and Hsi Wu showed up, "Too bad the Empire had to kill my mom in the process because of the brat."
"If you ask me they should've eliminated Tchang Zu on the spot for us," Whirlwind spoke.
"And let's not forget the dishonor caused by that brat, when she humiliated Emperor Drake's adopted sister Princess Maria by making a joke of her weak bladder," Sunburn hissed angrily, "What the stupid lizard Shendu did about it was so dishonorable that it brought Governess Shasta to earth to enact revenge for the empire, and need I remind you what caused Flannery and the leaders of the Arkeyans in the Cloudbreak Islands to slaughter that stupid overgrown lizard?"
"Drago said the divorce was Stacey's fault, and it is that slutty whore's fault!" Camo barked.
Zap, Sunburn and Cynder all agreed with Camo while the other Dragon Skylanders did not and were completely shocked at what Camo just said. Jade and the JTeens, save for Drago and Ice, were equally shocked as well. But they held their tongues, since the Arkeyans slaughtered their relatives just because they said the hot water prank pulled by Stacey served Drago right, for saying the divorce was Stacey's fault.
"Camo, you're out of line!" Spyro said sternly to the life element Dragon.
"Is he?! Get a clue through your thick skull Spyro!" Zap fired back, "That whore's done nothing but complain about losing everything, she's ruined her mom and her brother's lives when it's her father who's a bad parent, she treats everyone around her like crap, she sent poor Wally to jail after pranking him for not having a date, she endless bullied Trina about her weight, took revenge upon everyone who crossed her, eliminated multiple Arkeyans, called her asshole dad a traitor just because he punished her like all the other adults after growing a spine, and freed Muir from prison! So yes, Camo is right by saying that Drago was right all along about what he said to that brat the entire time, Spyro! The divorce was Stacey's fault! Anybody who wants to say otherwise can take it up with my electric breath, because I will rip them to pieces here and now!"
Everyone was shocked, period. 'Cause in all the years they knew Zap, they never heard him make a rant like that, in all his years and with such ferocity never seen before.
"Zap pretty much hit the nail on the head, and so did Camo," Cynder finished, "But back to our main problem, the Arkeyans enslaved all of Avalon and soon they'll have taken over the earth."
"Blame the stupid lizard," Bash barked, "If he didn't punish Drago, then we wouldn't be in this mess! Now the Arkeyans are on the war path, and they're enraged beyond belief."
"Guess fighting alongside the empire has you sounding just like them," Alex retorted as she showed up, "I still can't believe my friends are ordering this all out invasion of Earth."
"There's one thing we're forgetting," Chrissie spoke, calming down, "How the hell did the Arkeyan Empire find out about this in the first place? They couldn't have known unless somebody tipped them off, and since affairs in Avalon aren't made public, then somebody on the inside had to have told them."
"We'll figure that out later Chrissie," Colleen spoke, "Right now, we've got an army to fight and a planet to save. If we can defeat the Arkeyan Empire's invasion leaders, we can get the attention of their leaders, and hopefully convince them to call off the invasion."
"Not gonna happen so easily, Colleen," Drobot boomed, "Most of the Arkeyan Empire blames you for the mile long list of dishonors and crimes that you and the people of earth have committed against their people, all because you refused to leave that slutty whore in the tenderloins. They'll rip all of you into pieces."
"Which means we have to fight for our lives," Alex finished, as another explosion rang out over the bunker, "We better get moving now and fast."
On the surface, Link, Marlon, Roark, and Flannery were leading vast armies of Arkeyan Robots, as they continued marching across town and conquering the planet.
"Keep your eyes peeled! The remaining relatives of all those who dishonored our people are here somewhere! I want them all impaled on stakes by day's end," Flannery barked cruelly.
"Looking for us!" Ice's voice rang out, as a fireball roasted many Arkeyan Robots.
"So, the JTeens show themselves at last," Roark spoke, preparing his hammer staff, and getting into a fighting stance, as Link got his bow and arrow, Marlon got his trident, and Flannery got her blades, while they got into their respective fighting stances. "Attack!"
The Arkeyan Robot Army charged towards the JTeens, who in return charged towards the army, and began using the moves that their teachers taught them to fight.
Chrissie used the power of the Eternal Air Source, and some Air Bending Techniques taught to her by Governor Ventus of the Wind Arkeyans, couples with some lessons Daolon had given her in chi magic to fight off the Arkeyan Robots.
Ice was fighting the Arkeyan Robots that were attacking him with the power of the Eternal Fire Source, and some Fire Bending Techniques. And his motivation was fueled by all the problems and drama his evil sister caused him and his friends, which led to the Arkeyan Empire enslaving Avalon and declaring war upon the Earth.
Cody, meanwhile, was using a combination of the Eternal Earth Source and some Earth Bending, to defend himself and fight off the Arkeyan Robots. He still couldn't believe that the Arkeyan Empire killed his mom and all his relatives, and millions of people just to restore honor to their race, and enslave an entire planet and invade another in the process.
Colleen had the most difficulty fighting the Arkeyan Robots that were attacking her. She could tell from the ferocity that the Arkeyan Empire wanted her head on a plate, for triggering the events that started the invasion in the first place, and even with the power of the Eternal Water Source the odds were against her.
"So, it has come to this. Once we kill you and enslave the earth, honor will be restored to our race," Flannery roared sadistically, attacking Alex who dodged a torrent of flames.
"You and your people don't have to do this," Alex reasoned, as a rain of arrows compliments of Link fired at her, "There has to be another way to restore honor to your people."
"Wrong! There is no other way for our people to regain our honor, and once we eliminate you and the JTeens, and conquer the Earth, then honor will be restored to our people and to all those dishonored by our enemies, once and for all!" Marlon snapped, firing a tsunami attack from the trident he carried at Alex. This forced her to dodge yet again, as she was assaulted by boulders and stone, compliments of Roark himself, before Flannery used another fire spell.
Alex, in desperation, then tapped into her powers and began fighting with everything she had. Flannery, Marlon, Roark, and Link fought hard, but Alex fought even harder and injured them badly and destroyed the Arkeyan Robots in the area. Her ferocity seemed to impress even the Arkeyans that she fought.
"So, this is the strength of the Dragon Realm's guardian. We didn't take you lightly, but we didn't expect this much power," Roark mused, leaning on his Hammer Staff.
"Enjoy yourselves now, 'cause you may have won this battle, but the war is only just beginning," Link said, as he and the Arkeyans in the area retreated.
Back at the underground compound, the team regrouped with Jade and the Skylanders. The JTeens were tired and weary, Alex especially. She had used her full power, and was now paying the price.
"So, how did today's battle go?" Whirlwind questioned worriedly, seeing the group's condition.
"We won, but the war with the empire is not over. In fact it has only just begun," Alex said disappointedly, "The Arkeyan Empire is an overwhelming foe."
"Too bad this is the Sorcerer Empire we're fighting," Jade sighed, "If this was the Robot Empire, we could just go after the Robot King, and remove the Iron Fist of Arkus."
"It's not that easy with the Sorcerer Empire," Spyro spoke, "The only way to call off the invasion is to face the Sorcerer King himself."
"On the other hand, the Entire School is glad that the Empire has shown up lately and reactivated the Slam the In Crowd website," Bash chimed in happily, "And they're even happier that the Empire forced Principal Ramsey to not only expel the ones who sent Wally to Jail from school, but also the entire school district, and the empire also had a website dedicated to posting its enemies on the web, and posting every dishonor committed against their people or their people's allies."
"The site has gotten a lot of hits, and everyone's venting their anger about the brat pack to the Governors directly and their praise to the empire for stepping in," Ice chimed, looking the bright side figuring that the Arkeyan Empire did them a favor.
"Seems the Empire cares more about you guys than your own parents do," Sunburn said, "They took your side when your parents took the sides of your enemies, and they butchered them and everyone else who sided with your enemies, and all their relatives as well."
"But all this killing isn't solving anything," Jade said, sniffling, "My friend Jimmy is dead."
"Jimmy was a stupid bastard who's mother ratted Colleen out to her parents after throwing the food tray at that stupid ape Mikey!" Camo roared, "I say she deserved to be ripped apart, and so did all her relatives, and so does that asshole Emily for giving birth to that ape in the first place! That whore Stacey also deserved to be ripped apart, and so did all the adults who lectured Colleen in the first place about how she stood up for Wally! The brat pack and all their relatives deserved to die, and they should've been killed in the first place!"
Spyro then yelled at Camo for saying he was out of line only for Camo, Zap and Sunburn to roar back at the purple dragon, and through it all Jade sat back watching the bickering between the Dragon Skylanders grow. The poor young girl looked ready to curl up into a ball and cry.
On Dragon's Peak, Adinda, Wendell, and Eon were showing the Dragon King Ramses the bickering about all the dishonor the empire's enemies have caused. The king reviewed the footage diligently, contemplating the situation.
"I've seen all I need to see, and this is much worse than I thought," Ramses spoke, "If Alex, Jade, the JTeens, and the Dragon Skylanders cannot keep it together, then they'll never save the Earth and free Avalon from the Empire's iron rule."
"Why don't we just split them up and split the JTeens up and let them fight the empire as individuals?" Wendell suggested. "That should curb the bickering."
"We'd be playing right into my people's hands Wendell," Adinda reminded sternly, "The Empire would just pick them off one by one, and then they'll have taken over Earth."
"And the Generals of the Arkeyan Empire are coming back any minute," Eon sighed, "At this point they have to work together as a team otherwise all will be lost."
