The Empire's Supporters and Enemies
In Kira's castle in Greyskull city, Sophie was living the life she always wanted, and she was far away from her backstabbing a-hole mother. The one who betrayed her by looking out for her worst enemy's best interests, instead of her own, forcing Governess Kira of the Phantom Arkeyans to step in, and remove Sophie from the home for good.
"Life has never been better for me. My new surrogate aunt Kira took me in as her own, gave me a new life, and my surrogate aunt's relatives, Kayleigh, Kylie, and Karen all treat me well. And they all say I did the right thing giving my worst enemies what they had coming to them," Sophie mused as she continued working on the slam site that she had created, with the new Laptop that Governor Techno of the Mechanist Arkeyans had given her at last,
"Thanks to the Arkeyan Empire, and the power of the Eternal Tech Source, I'm adding the information they had given me about every bad thing that my worst enemy and her pack ever did for their entire lives, and the site updates itself with any new bad thing that they do, including the endless teasing Trina had to endure, and the spilled juice that the brat spilled on Ice's friend's shirt. I should've moved in with the Phantom Arkeyan Governess earlier, when Shasta showed up on earth to get revenge for the humiliation one of the Royal Arkeyans endured, and that was added to the website."
Sophie continued typing away at the site, improving it with the data that Emperor Drake himself gathered on the bullies of Magus High, detailing every bad thing they ever did for their entire lives, and added every dishonor that the families committed against the victims of the bullying, as well which included the dishonor against Drago by his father and the dishonor against the entire Arkeyan Empire.
Over on Earth, Princesses Maria and Yukie of the Arkeyan Sorcerer Empire had invited the Magic Kids club, comprised of Sam, Eva, Lee, Trina and Wally whom the Arkeyans demanded be released from Juvie, cause as far as the Arkeyan Empire was concerned, Wally had the makings of being Governess Celestia's apprentice. Currently the seven of them were discussing the Empire's rage and all the events and crimes committed against them that led to the enslavement of Avalon and the conquest of earth.
"I cannot believe that our people enslaved all of Avalon, and slaughtered millions of people in their bid to conquer the Earth, just because of what Stacey did to us," Princess Maria sighed, "I never asked them to kill somebody, just like I never asked Drago, Ice, and Cody to banish Stacey to the tenderloins because she humiliated me about my bladder problem in front of the entire class."
"To be frank, I went over the bylaws of the Arkeyan Sorcerer Empire, written by our adoptive siblings ancestor King Cyrus I, the first Sorcerer King, and according to the bylaws, the Governors can personally step in when a member of the Arkeyan Royal family has been dishonored in any way, shape or form. Shasta was following the bylaws of the Arkeyan Empire when she came to Earth seeking retribution for the dishonor committed against you and the Empire as a whole, and when Tso Lan opened his big mouth, and Shendu had Drago, Ice, and Cody grounded for sticking up for you, the Arkeyans stepped in to eliminate the demons and the parents as well, as anybody who dared to stand in their way of doing so," Yukie spoke exasperatedly, "The Empire at that point kept all eyes on the affairs of Earth and Avalon since the failed attack, but it did show how dead serious we are about our people's honor."
"I'm glad the Arkeyans are stepping up at last," Sam spoke, before snarling, "For far too long the brat and her pack have bullied us and gotten slaps on the wrists, and when Wally tried to get revenge upon them, he got sent to jail when they're the ones who belong in jail! Coach Collins said he, Principal Ramsey, and the other parents were gonna make sure that ape son of his and his friends were punished to the full extent, but they instead gave them all slaps on the wrists by suspending them for a week, throwing that ape off the football team, throwing that brat off the cheerleading squad and splitting them up! They all deserved to die for their crimes!"
"You got that right!" Trina hissed, "Stacey endlessly teased me about my body weight, calling me 'whale girl, rolly polly', and all sorts of other names regarding my weight. Frank, Rocko, and Charlie tried to stand up for me but she pushed them down, and I was so mad, I was gonna kill her. I couldn't finish the job, forcing the Arkeyans to do it for me. Governess Flora dropped a tree on her, Nikki, and Chelsea, but that stupid idiot Adinda revived them with the Eternal Dragon Skylus. Either way, Flora did cure me of my weight problem, using the power of the Eternal Life Source and her knowledge in herbs and chemistry. She should be our new chemistry teacher."
"Ventus even cured me of my breathing problems with the power of the Eternal Air Source," Lee praised, "I feel like a new man, and I'm stronger than ever. The Wind Arkeyan Governor even said he was going to train me in using the power of the Eternal Air Source."
"Speaking of whom, he and the other Governors sent word that their relatives are coming and Emperor Drake is back in charge," Eva soke, "Emperor Drake even stated that once the Arkeyans rule Earth, they'll get to work improving the school system, putting in harsher punishments upon the bullies, and putting in a bodyguard program where the victims of bullying have two Arkeyan sorcerers guarding them at all times. Ventus even said that the bullies would be sent to jail where they belong for life."
"I've had to endure endless bullying 'cause Stacey blamed me for getting Mikey grounded, leaving her without a date! They then egged my locker, threw me into the pool, stole my lunch, and dumped paint on me!" Wally snapped, "I had enough, and was prepared to kill them once and for all and landed in jail because I tried to fight back!"
The royals and the rest of the MKC couldn't blame Wally for all the bullying he was forced to endure and for attempting to fight back which triggered Sophie to work on her slam the in crowd website. They all wished the Arkeyan Weapon Masters intervened sooner.
In the underworld of Skylands, where the undead and the souls of all those who died on Avalon, Earth, or Skylands reside, the spirits of all who dishonored the Arkeyan Empire were sealed away in the deepest cells in the deepest pit in the underworld. In one cell in particular resided the spirits of Jordan, Katie, and Angus, who were forced to endure the daily arena fights. Currently the three were talking about all that happened so far.
"I cannot believe that it has come to this," Katie's ghost said, sobbing, "One minute we're going about our usual business, and the next we end up ripped to pieces by the Arkeyan Empire. I was only being a mother when I punished Colleen and made her take that online ethics course Captain Black ordered her to take for cyberbullying Mikey. And then Governess Aqua of the Aquatic Arkeyans roars at me saying that I'm taking Mikey's side, just like when Allie told us to either ground Colleen or she's gonna call the cops for throwing a food tray at her stepson for what he did to Lee. What did we do to bring the wrath of the empire upon us?"
"The Arkeyan Empire is an overwhelming force," Angus' ghost spoke, "They truly believe that not only did we commit high crimes against the empire for grounding Colleen, but Aqua herself wiped out our entire family and killed everyone else who tried to tell Colleen that she became Mikey's bully, for doing what she did by posting rude pictures on the Internet, and she then went on to kill all their relatives next."
Jordan said nothing, since the Empire sliced his vocal cords, but he knew that Katie and Angus were only doing the right thing. Yet here they were, paying the price for bringing the Empire's wrath upon them with their lives and sentenced to all eternity in the underworld by the Arkeyan Empire.
In another cell sat Tori's ghost, who continued sobbing ever since the Volcanic Arkeyans killed her and her entire family, except her son, for the high crimes she committed against them and the empire. Even after pleading for her life and begging for mercy, but those only fell upon deaf ears, as the Arkeyans ripped her daughter apart right before her eyes, sending her to the most brutal section of the underworld's deepest dungeon before doing the same to her.
In another cell, Jackie's ghost and Uncle's ghost were discussing the Arkeyan Empire and what to do next.
"The Arkeyans' rage grows and the conquest of Earth is nearly complete," Uncle's spirit spoke, "However, there is still hope to return to the land of the living, but also to erase the memories of the Empire's attack upon the world from the minds of everyone that doesn't know about magic and undo all the damage caused in the war."
"If you mean Alex reasoning with the Sorcerer King, then I do not think he is in any mood to listen, and neither is the Arkeyan Empire," Jackie's Ghost said as a guard showed up, and shoved Captain Black's ghost into the cell, "Captain Black, are you alright? What happened out there?"
"The fights are getting worse and worse Jackie," Black's ghost explained, exhaustion clear in his tone, "The empire is sending the spirits of the most powerful and skilled Arkeyan Sorcerers in to the arena to fight us, and that's not all. They've even got the spirits of all who dishonored their people cleaning the arena after each fight. We try to teach the JTeens that fighting fire with fire is not the best way to combat bullies, and the Arkeyan Empire declares war upon Avalon and the Earth, because of the crimes they say we committed against them and their empire. This is the pits, Jackie."
"By the way, I know this is a bad time to ask, but what of Xua Wing and his family?" Uncle's ghost asked, "If Xua Wing is dead, then the Arkeyans will be free to rule over all of Avalon and the magical community. If the boss who wants the JTeens dead hasn't already done so by now."
"The Akeyan Empire sentenced Shendu to Eternal Torture for all eternity, as a final punishment for the suit of armor polishing punishment he gave Drago," Black's ghost said, as Shendu's screams of pain echoed across the entire underworld, as the spirits of all the Arkeyan Sorcerers from the Past combined powers to torture Shendu, and force him to endure the rage of the entire Arkeyan Empire past and present for all eternity.
"Then there is no way to convince the empire that peace is an option, ow!" Jackie spoke, as Uncle smacked him upside the head, "Why did you do that?"
"There is still hope, Jakcie. We must always remember that," Uncle reminded, "Alex mentioned the Arkeyan Sorcerer Empire's bylaws and after careful studying of the laws, the root of the problem is the cause about the Empire's honor."
"How does that help us?" Captain Black wondered.
"The Clause states that if an Arkeyan Sorcerer or anybody the Arkeyan Empire sees as an ally or surrogate relative has been dishonored in any way, shape, or form, then the empire can step in and eliminate whoever caused the dishonor. Upon further studying the clause also allows the empire to declare war upon the civilization of whoever caused the dishonor," Uncle said, "It was written by Emperor Cyrus I, the First Sorcerer King of the Arkeyan Sorcerer Empire."
"All we have to do is convince Sorcerer King Drake to adjust the law or reverse it, and we can avoid a war," Jackie spoke, "But getting to the King will be the easy part. Convincing him will be something else entirely."
"Knowing Alex, I'm sure she'll think of something, but the fact is that bylaw written by King Cyrus I is the reason we're all dead," Captain Black spoke, as he knew it was up to Alex, Jade, the JTeens and the Dragon Skylanders to save them now.
Meanwhile at the safe house, Tchang Zu was watching Shendu's eternal torture. The thunder demon was laughing his head off as the Arkeyans were frying Shendu's spirit to a crisp, but he also knew that if the JTeens got to the Arkeyan Sorcerer King and convinced him to change the law created by Emperor Cyrus I, then all would be lost.
"Where is Malefor when you need him?" Tchang Zu growled, "If he doesn't show up, I may have to use the Chi Disease to eliminate the Emperor and his relatives myself."
"You called?" Malefor said, showing up at last, "Sorry I'm late, but I had to avoid detection from the Empire. The main fleet just showed up and they're solidifying their hold on the planet."
"Never mind, yet, did you get the muscle I need to take over the magical community, should the Arkeyans fail?"
"Yep, and I got that spell to wipe out the Arkeyan Empire, but they could just use an Eternal Dragon to undo it and hunt us down."
"Then we better cover our tracks carefully, otherwise you'll be first on my to kill list!" the Thunder Demon snapped to Malefor, before leaving.
"Enjoy yourself now, Tchang Zu," Malefor sneered maliciously, "Because when all is said and done, and the Empire finds out you're the cause of the Demon Mutates and everything else that happened, I'll have the last laugh as Xua Wing strips you of your powers and banishes you from the magical community forever. Provided the Arkeyans don't kill you first."
