The Tech Shadow Dragon
"You have done yell young heroes," Eon's spirit said to the Dread-yacht's crew, "But four shadow dragons are still at large and the earth is still in danger of destruction."
"So anyone care to tell me the full story on the shadow dragons and how they were created?" Alex asked.
"It's a long story," Spyro said as he and the others began explaining the full story on the Shadow Dragons
Over in the Underworld of Skylands things were more dangerous in the Sanzu District than usual. The pit which served as the most brutal prison for the worst of the worst had been seeing heavy business as of late as all those killed by the shadow dragons and who pissed off the Arkeyans were currently being tortured to the extreme and beaten to a pulp. Since they were already dead the torment was at its most brutal.
"Talk about a war path," T-Bone said to Agatha who returned from dragon's peak, "Your charge has not only taken Sophie from her flawed home life but she's killed every member of Sophie's family and all the in laws in the process just because her mother dishonored the Arkeyans by giving that brat Stacey therapy and to drive home her point, Kira summoned the entire Army of Anubis to kill all of Fiona's clients and every member of their family divorced or not as well. Agatha what the hell caused Kira to do such a thing?"
"Watch everything that's happened up to this point and you tell me!" Agatha snapped.
"Agatha's more pissed off than usual," Ghost Roaster said to Drill Sergeant and Chop Chop.
"Pissed off is too sissy a word. She's enraged," Chop Chop retorted as Agatha was already overseeing the constant torture of all those who pissed off the Arkeyans with everyone who stabbed Sophie in the back figuratively being literally stabbed in the back and on Hydrus' orders everyone who lectured Colleen was also to be tortured for eternity. "That dragon has enough power to destroy an entire planet if she gets mad and lets not forget that she joined Kira in leading the Army of Anubis to kill those people and joined the Phantom Arkeyan Civilization in slaughtering everyone who stood in Kira's way. She literally ate the last free mage who tried to stop Kira."
"That is why pissing Kira off to the point she'll call the Army of Anubis is an extremely bad idea and the scary part is she did all that with just the Vanguard," Drill Sergeant chimed in, "If she calls the main army then whoever pissed her off just doomed their entire civilization to extinction."
"Well that explains why Kira wanted us dead," Uncle said only he was now a ghost having died at the hands of the shadow dragons, "And why Army of Anubis attacked millions of people."
"Sensei let us remember the real problem," Tohru who was also a ghost reminded, "The Shadow Dragons are still able to destroy the earth and just one of them can destroy the planet."
"The Shadow Dragons have killed millions of people Tohru and I don't think the Arkeyan Governors are in any mood to wish any of us back to life. Not after how they feel we dishonored them, their leaders and their people,' Jackie said, "Some of us can't be revived by Shenron since he already revived us once before and there's no way that Genghis will revive us again. Not after what Valmont said to anger the Arkeyans."
"Which means we'll have to wait until Skylus has recharged, "Uncle sighed, "Skylus needs a year to regain his strength after granting a wish and Uncle suspects that somebody has already summoned him to keep the Skylanders from reviving us which means we'll have to wait at least a year."
Jackie and Tohru sighed but knew Uncle was right. Chop Chop, Ghost Roaster and Drill Sergeant heard everything and left the Underworld as Agatha returned to Kira's Castle.
Back on Earth the Skylanders had finished telling Alex of the Shadow Dragons.
"And that's basically the whole story about the shadow dragons," Flashwing said.
"Talk about holding a grudge," Alex sighed, "Reina and Rita said that they, along with their sisters Rose and Sara, lead the Arkeyan Empire, the most dangerous empire of sorcerers and robots to piss off but they didn't tell me about this."
"We didn't know about the dangers of over summoning Shenron," Rita said, "The Governors had to call Shenron just to repair the damage done by Malefor's attacks."
"We also had no clue that the governors themselves were the living vessels for years of pent up negative energy," Reina added holding the Arkeyan Crystal.
"Besides by defeating the Shadow Dragons we're removing the negative energy from the governors themselves," Luna said before adding, "Then we'll behead the trog and O'Connell for their crimes against the Arkeyan Empire."
"Speaking of the Shadow Dragons where are the remaining dragons?" Flynn asked.
"According to the compass, the Tech Shadow Dragon is somewhere on the border between Canada and the United States," Rose said, "Well hes' on the Great lakes to be precise but I have no idea why he'd be there. I'd expect Aqua or Ventus to reside there but why the Tech Dragon?"
"Because the Great Lakes are also home to Detroit," Chrissie said, "The auto capital of the world. With all the auto factories I wouldn't be surprised if the shadow dragon already hijacked one and made it into a new lair and began cranking out weapons or war machines."
As the gang spoke the Dread-yacht sailed onwards to Detroit. They could see that numerous Arkeyan Robots and Arkeyan Autogyros were already terrorizing the entire city and all the cities near the great lakes on both sides of the border. The robot army was also terrorizing the lakes themselves.
"Yep I'm gonna say there's no doubt the tech shadow dragon has already set up shop," Flynn said, "So where do we find him? Detroit is a big city people."
"What about the factory that's producing all those Arkeyan Autogyros and all those Arkeyan Robots?" Cali asked as the Skylanders and company saw the factory in question.
"There's the shadow dragon's lair but we better hurry," Jade said returning from below the deck, "Ventus, Aqua, Terrador, and Flora have already begun the process of beheading Colleen and Drago for the crimes they committed against the Arkeyans."
"More like they already beheaded them and threw the bodies through a portal to the grudge hounds," Adinda said looking green in the face as she puked, "I knew we should've warned this world and its people about the Arkeyan Sorcerer Empire and the Arkeyan Robot Empire when we had the chance."
"So did I Adinda but that stupid idiot by the name of Xua Wing wanted to avoid revealing the existence of magic," Luna snapped to the head Mystic Arkeyan Sorceress, "At least that idiot's paying for his crime and so is everyone else who dishonored the Arkeyan Empire and if you think that we're gonna revive them think again. We're not reviving them period!"
"We can discuss whether or not to revive them and we can discuss execution methods later," Rose said, "Right now the shadow dragon's lair is up ahead and if I didn't know better I'd say that he's expecting us by now."
Right on cue a whole fleet of Arkeyan Autogyros began firing on the Dread-Yacht damaging the ship heavily. The Autogyros weapons were all set on fully automatic rapid fire and the missiles were unleashing dangerous razor sharp shrapnel.
"This is ridiculous," Flynn said as the Skylanders fought back, "We're out numbered."
"This is more than just numbers Flynn," Hugo said, "This is about tactics and gear. This shadow dragon is not only a genius in technology but also a master strangest."
"This is getting ridiculous," Spyro said powering up and unleashing an Electric Fury that wiped out the entire Autogyro fleet.
"Way to go Spyro," Zap said congratulating the purple dragon on is attack.
"Don't get cocky Zap," Drobot said, as a second much larger fleet of Autogyros were flying in, "More enemies in bound."
"Seems we only defeated the air fleet equivalent of the Vanguard," Cali said, "The main air fleet itself is incoming."
"Our only hope to stop them is to destroy the shadow dragon," Flashwing said.
"But we don't even know where the shadow dragon itself is?" Camo reminded the team.
"Try looking in front of you," Said a sinister voice as the gang turned to see an entire army of Arkeyan Robots and War Machines with Techno standing on the one in the rear which left little doubt that his body was being used by the Shadow Dragon as its vessel, "I am Gasket Shenron the Dragon of technology and I'm using Techno's body as my host vessel."
"Okay Gasket so we know what you are," Alex said, "Care to tell us what wish Techno made that created you and what act of revenge he did that caused you to possess him?"
"I was born when Techno wished for General Robot and the Mabu Defense force to be revived after they were attacked by an evil mage. After he revived them Techno then for General Robot and all of his equipment to be upgraded with golden Gears and Green Glowing Goo and that this would also go to the Mabu Defense Force. The act of vengeance he performed was beating an evil mage to death for attacking General Mabu and the Mabu Defense force. The mage in question was hired by the one you call Devitra and rumors tell she was a counterpart of that brat Stacey."
"Why am I not surprised that Devitra is responsible for this," Ice groaned, "That Victorian Era London brat has caused us nothing but trouble and I for one am glad she's dead."
"Malefor planned this all along but I'm surprised Techno made a revival wish. I didn't expect him to do that," Jade said, "But then again the other four dragons were formed from revival wishes."
"Hey it's what Techno wished for," Gasket said, "But either way let's get on with this. Arkeyan Robot Army, Attack and destroy these enemies."
"Guys evasive action now," Rose said as the Skylanders took action to evade the robot army, "This dragon is dead serious about using the robot army to destroy us."
"Gee you think?" Rita snapped as she bashed a swarm of Arkeyan Ultrons.
"Les talking more fighting," Ventus said summoning razor sharp winds to slice up more Arkeyan Robots, "Aqua time for our combination attack, you ready?"
"I'm ready and waiting Ventus," Aqua said destroying numerous robots with multiple water whip attacks and razor sharp ice shards to destroy the Autogyros. "Time for our attack."
"Wait a minute; Ventus and Aqua have a combo attack of their own?" Cody asked confused, "I thought Ventus could only use the Tornado Flame with Shasta."
"Actually we Arkeyans invented a combo attack for every situation," Luna said destroying more robots as Ventus and Aqua combined powered and summoned a massive icicle hurricane which wiped out most of the Arkeyan Robots and the Arkeyan War Machines, "That's the Hurricane blizzard, Ventus and Aqua's combination attack. Basically this wipes out all enemies within a 30 Miles radius and leaves the area covered in snow."
"Great technique but I could use some help over here," Sara yelled battling back the last of the Arkeyan Robots, "These Robots are tougher than usual."
"You're forgetting something," Terrador said destroying the last of the robots, "Somebody has to remove the shadow dragon from Techno's body and fast."
"Relax guys, Adinda's covering the exorcism spell this time," Reina said as Adinda casted the exorcism spell and extracted Gasket from Techno's body, "She seems to be avoiding most of the battles as of late and she's been puking since you Ventus, and Aqua forced her to watch as Luna beheaded Drago and colleen with the Sanzu Axe."
"For the record I'll just make it clear that beheading people is sick," Alexandra said.
We can discuss this later. Right now the Shadow Dragon is still present and he's getting ready to destroy us," Chrissie said pointing out the dragon was still breathing.
The shadow dragon was now a massive bronze dragon with an armored battle suit forged from adamantium metal, an alloy that is indestructible.
"Of all the metal that dragon could've selected for his suit he had to pick the one metal that's indestructible," Bash grumbled as he tossed boulders at Gasket Shenron.
"This is why we created the new staffs from adamantium metal," Rose said, "So we can't destroy them again."
"Let's attack together at once. We'll find a weakness in that armor of his," Alex suggested as the heroes all attacked the shadow dragon as a team in the hopes of finding a weakness.
Over in Kira's Castle in Skylands, Agatha had gone to check on Sophie. Kira had already given Sophie her very own room in the castle and gave her free reign to post every bad thing that her enemies ever did all over the internet. Kira also told Sophie that she was free to vent all her issues about Fiona to the entire universe for everyone to see and to the entire Arkeyan Sorcerer Empire. The Undead Element Dragon had come to see that Sophie was already working on her travel plans for college and she was already enjoying life in Kira's castle and living with the Phantom Arkeyan Governess.
"Enjoying your new life away from all those who stabbed you in the back Sophie?" Agatha asked, "Especially from that traitorous whore of a mother? You'll be happy to know Kira eliminated her and also eliminated your backstabbing uncle. She's also gone ahead and killed your worst enemy and her gang of brainless idiots."
"Oh hello Agatha, I'm enjoying my new life here in Aunt Kira's Castle," Sophie said, "Kira's been making sure I've been keeping up with my school work and she's even told me how she and the Arkeyan handle bullies by using brute force and slaughter though Kira says Adinda is an asshole by suggesting that bullies get therapy when she should be using brute force on them like the other Arkeyans."
"I can only assume form your response that you're not surprised Kira killed your own mother. She already told you how she inherited the Phantom Arkeyan Throne and she's also told me how your mother has treated you."
"Yep and I didn't know Kira's been watching everything nor did I realize that her past sounded like my old life. I guess that's why I was so happy to tell Kira all my problems Agatha; she's the only one who understands me."
Agatha left as Sophie went back to applying for her plans to go to Hawaii after High School. She was finally living the life she always wanted thanks to Kira having gotten her away from her whore of a mother once and for all.
Back on Earth the shadow dragon was currently overwhelming the heroes. Even with Techno's help the heroes were still at a disadvantage as the shadow dragon began firing wing blasters and eye lasers forcing the team to go on the defensive.
"Okay this is getting us nowhere," Ice said after he and chrissie tried the Tornado Flame on the shadow dragon only for it to have no effect on the armor, "That dragon's armor makes regular attacks useless."
"Maybe so and the Armor is strong but it has a weakness," Rita said, "The eyes. We'll have to target the eyes of the dragon. It's the only way we can defeat Gasket Shenron."
"Leave it to me," Luna said, "You guys keep Gasket busy and I'll take the shot."
The group took turns keeping Gasket busy till Luna aimed a magic bolt right into the dragon's eyes causing it to thrash about as it fell over dead and dissolved in black smoke.
"I take back what I said about beheading people being sick. Shooting an arrow into the eyes is very sick," Alex said as the team regrouped aboard the Dread-Yacht and sailed onwards to the location of the next Shadow Dragon.
