"So, this is the legendary Skylantis." Jet-Vac said in awe. "Otherwise known as The Cloud Kingdom."

"Indeed." Lightning Rod said. "It has been 5 years since I have been here last. Much has changed." He then noticed the many statues of himself. "Yet some have not."

"Welcome back, Lightning Rod." Queen Cumulus introduced herself to Spyro, Jet-Vac, Stormblade, Gill Grunt, Dive-Clops, High Volt, Trigger Happy, Cali, and Flynn. "You know, we had the bolt all ready for you, but then Kaos' forces arrived and, well, promised us 'safety' if we joined him."

"Hopefully, you did not." The fellow storm titan said.

"No. Naturally, most of us thought that this was an absolutely horrid idea."

"MOST of us?!"

"Well, one of us, Lord Stratosfear, is a little more concerpentive. He had a dissenting opinion. So, we're having a bit of a kerfuffle."

Suddenly, thunder ran all across the kingdom!

"Uh, so to speak…"

"Stratosfear!" Lightning Rod shouted. "That traitor!"

"Foolish lowlanders!" The storm giant yelled out. "Only Kaos can preserve the Cloud Kingdom! But if you wish so badly for the power of the Thunderous Bolt, then come and take it!"

More lightning cracked the sky. Many guards then came rushing to Cumulus.

"My Queen!" One gasped. "Enemy transport ships have begun landing and invading our city! They're filled with disgusting trolls! They're bringing in Inflatrators, Meteo-Trolligists, Storm Spawners, and Bitning Bugs!"

"Inflatrators?! Those cloud-eating trolls?! Oh my!"

"That's not all!" The second one said. "Stratosfear has also deployed a Storm Sequencer near the market! It's guarded by Crustation Crashers and Ship Sinkers!"

"And he's summoned a terrible fog!" A third guard said. "It's much bigger than usual! We'll need to use the Stormhorns at the plaza to clear it!"

"Don't worry, your highness!" Spyro said. "We're Skylanders! We know just what to do! Air team, you take down those transport ships! Water warriors, destroy that Storm Sequencer! Everyone else, get to the plaza, clear the fog, then go after Stratosfear and get that Thunderous Bolt back! And be careful when moving through the fog. Enemy forces could ambush you."

"With pleasure, dragon." Lightning Rod began billowing with thunderous rage. "Stratosfear was NEVER one to trust the underclass! Today, he will learn what happens to those who threaten my home!"

And with that, the teams rushed off!

"May the light protect you." Queen Cumulus blessed.

…

"Okay, I'm getting nine transport ships!" Stormblade said. "JV, lock and load!"

"Copy that, commander. Let's give these trolls a taste of the Sky Baron Squadron!"

Man, I REALLY need an official name for my Sky team. Stormblade thought.

"Heads up, enemy reinforcements!"

"I see them! Open fire!"

The two aircraft shot down the troll fighter planes that were defending the transports. Leading into an aerial pursuit that led into the Cloud Factory. Despite being shocked at how sheep wool was used to create clouds, Jet-Vac had no time to hesitate. Pursuing the remaining ship through unstable weather, the two ships managed to shoot down the last ship and make it out of the storm!

"Alright, that's the last of them!"

"Follow me! We're regrouping with the others!"

The two ships then flew back into the kingdom. Meanwhile, the foot team were getting closer and closer to the plaza.

…

"Looks like the doors are harmonically locked. Guess we should ring the bells to say hello!"

High Volt rang four times, and the gates opened. There, Stratosfear confronted them again.

"You Skylanders don't belong up here!" He bellowed. He then used the Thunderous Bolt to charge up the Storm Sequencer as the Water SuperChargers sped towards it.

…

"Uh oh!" Flynn gulped over the radio. "That looks like about ten bajillion gigavolts of angry right there!"

"Then let's give it FIFTY bajillion gigavolts of AWESOME!" Dive-Clops said.

"Storm Sequencer in sights." Gill reported. "Moving in for attack run! Watch out for enemy naval blockades!"

"Heads up! Looks like it can fight back!"

The Reef Ripper and Dive Bomber avoided electric shockwaves, water waves, underwater spinning blockades, and missiles.

"Dang it! This thing's got a force field!"

"It's not the only one! Those ships are armored to the teeth!"

"I have an idea! Make the Sequencer's lightning missiles hit them!"

Diving under, the two were able to make the missiles penetrate the ships, overload their defenses, and destroy them. It was then that the force field short-circuited and went offline.

"Alright, Stratos!" Gill said. "You want lightning?! I'll give you lightning!" The Reef Ripper got in close to the Storm Sequencer and set out an electric pulse, making it short-circuit even more and go offline!

"Haha, YES! It lost power!"
"Yeah, but we can't seem to destroy it. Better head back to the others. Maybe those electric barriers have been shut down as well."

The two set sail back to the mainland. At this time, the team had managed to get to the plaza.

…

"Alrighty, Lighty." Spyro smirked. "Care to do the honors?"

Lightning Rod took a deep breath, then blew the air from his mighty lungs, making the Stormhorns clear the fog.

"It is done. Now there is only one thing left to do." Lightning Rod said. "Confront the usurper-to-be of the throne and take that staff! Spitfire! Bring me to him."

Hopping on board the Shield Striker, Lightning Rod went face-to-face with his new enemy.

"You wish to challenge me, traitor?" Stratosfear laughed. "I was born to rule the skies! You shall pay for joining the underclass dogs!"

"No, Stratosfear," Lightning Rod said. "It is YOU who shall pay. FOR BETRAYING THE CLOUD KINGDOM!"

The two storm giants took to the air, with Stratosfear having a vehicle to help him gain the advantage.

"You would think me a fool to fight alone." Lightning Rod said. "Volt! You shall provide ground assistance!"

"Very well." High Volt said. "I will defend, you will attack."

Lightning Rod then flew up after Stratosfear, who began firing lightning at the titan, who threw bolts back at him. On the track below, High Volt steered the Shield Striker out of the way of lightning spheres, bringing up his shield if he couldn't make it. He then fired more bolts at the flying vehicle, stunning Stratosphere.

"GAH! Traitorous Titan! I have had enough of you and you underclassed lowlanders! THIS ENDS NOW!"

"Indeed it shall!"

High Volt dealt with other enemy aircraft while Lightning Rod charged up his Wow Pow. Firing at Stratosfear, Lightning Rod watched as the purple giant tumbled to the floor, met by Cumulus and her guards.

"We shall take care of Stratosfear, Lightning Rod." Queen Cumulus said. "The Thunderous Bolt, however, is yours."

"You have my thanks, my queen. Throw this traitor in the dungeon."

And with that, Rod and the others headed back to the Academy.

…

"Alright, all ten of all vehicles have been supercharged with ten jillion thunderbolts!" Spitfire said. "Now, who's ready to free a Portal Master?"

"I am!" Fiesta chimed in. "That muy, muy bad Count Moneybone will get a whopping for duping me! Time to break into his casa!"

"I'm pretty sure he speaks for all of us." Spyro smirked.

"Alright. Let's ride!"
