"I've been around the world don't speak the language, but your upgrades don't need explaining!" Freeze Blade sat on his chair with a pair of ice blue headphones on, yowling along to the song playing. "All I really need to understand is when you, talk freezey to me!"

Night Shift came in and took his seat without a word.

"Talk freezey to me!"

The undead Skylander silently browsed over the script for the episode.

"Talk freezey to me!"

He neatly folded the script away and placed it under his chair, after which reaching for a warm cup of herbal tea placed on the coffee table.

"Talk freezey to me!"

He raised the cup to his lips, taking a long sip and allowing the calming liquid to take its effect.

"Talk freezey to me!"

"Freeze Blade!" The cup was slammed down on the table. "Would you put a sock in it?!"

He lifted one speaker up, "But it's a good song! You should try listening to a few chart toppers some time."

"I think I'd rather get squashed by a giant, like you nearly did last episode." Was the retort from Night Shift.

"I'm still alive aren't I?!"

"Yes, but I'm not sure how long that will last."

Freeze smiled, showing his pearly white fangs. "You know what they say, 'let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young'"

"Now you're just quoting random song lyrics."

"Oh, have you heard that song before?"

Night Shift looked startled, "Of course not! I just...heard it on the radio the other day."

"Sure."

"I meant to ask you," He switched the subject and turned to his co-host. "How did it go with Chill?"

Freeze Blade shut his eyes and leaned back in his seat, looking reserved. "It went well, why do you ask?"

"Just wondering." Confused at his sudden change of mood, Night felt it was time to introduce the guest. He turned to the audience with his useral brisk fashion of address.

"Greetings Skylander fans young and old! We've got another terrifyingly great undead warrior on the show today."

"I didn't know Chop Chop was coming on!" Freeze Blade looked excitingly up from the script he had started reading. "There's a question I'm just dying to ask him."

"Is it appropriate or will it get your fur ripped off?"

"Possibly..." He didn't seem too concerned.

Night Shift made a mental note to keep an eye on his co-host while their undead guest was on camera, Chop Chop was not one to be toyed with and would probably deal some real damage if provoked.

"Please welcome Chop Chop to the studio!"

To the song 'Dr Sawbones' the arkeyan warrior came into the studio, his metal boots clanking on the polished floor boards. He sat down and faced the audience with his fixed, creepy stare. More than a few watchers nervously shifted under his unblinking gaze.

"Hey Chop, stop disturbing the audience! That's our job."

The skeleton whipped round to face the ice cat, making him jump slightly backwards.

"Tell me ice cat of Lava Lakes, why is it I'm here?"

"You're here to answer some questions for the fans." Night Shift cut in. "If that is okay with you."

Chop Chop kept his swords close. "I will play along for now, but this better be good! I'm allergic to idiots."

"That makes two of us."

As always, the comments went over Freeze Blade's head. Ignorance and naivety being two qualities most Skylanders faced when met with undead sarcasm.

"First question Chop, we hear that your twin blades are indestructible, but what exactly are they made of?"

"Indestructible they are indeed." He held one of the gleaming blades up for the audience to see. "But I can not reveal the substance of their creation, it is an ancient arkeyan secret that has been guarded for centuries."

"I bet it's an alloy."

Dark fire gathered in the skeleton warrior's eyes.

"They are certainly not an alloy, only the purest metal went into their creation."

"Then why don't you tell us?" Freeze Blade wouldn't let it drop. "They must be an alloy!"

"They are not!"

"You just don't want to admit it!"

"They're not an alloy!

"Are too!"

"Are not!"

"Are too!"

"Are not!"

"Children!" Night Shift slammed his fists on the table and brought the argument to a grinding halt. "Freeze Blade, stop it right now or you can go sit on the naughty rock again!"

Freeze dropped his ears and eye line.

"And you!" Night Shift jabbed a gloved hand at Chop Chop. "Behave or I will call Auntie Hex!"

Chop Chop instantly sat up strait and placed his blades away beside him. Auntie Hex was not someone you would like to meet on a dark night.

"Now," The vampire spoke in a calm yet firm voice. "For the next question Chop Chop, could you tell us what you use to keep your armour looking so good? You've fought in hundreds of battles yet it still remains almost brand new."

"It is a spray-on liquid named E-S-B, I get it from a supplier in Rampant Ruins." He flashed his flawless arkeyan shield. "Never fails to give a spotless result."

"Thank you for that, I'm sure there are some who will find the information useful."

"Hang on!" Freeze Blade had been going back over the script and was now looking accusingly at Night Shift. "You made that question up!"

"I didn't- Oh fine!" He knew there was no point in keeping the act up. "But my buckle has been looking a little rusty lately, some of that E-S-B should do the trick."

Freeze Blade sniggered, "#NightShiftisarebel"

"Wasn't there a question you were just dying to ask?"

"Yes!" Freeze remembered and looked towards Chop Chop, who was now polishing his shield with some E-S-B. "This question was requested and I've been thinking about what the answer would be, so here it goes. Chop Chop, how the heck do you go to the bathroom?"

"You've got to be kidding me."

Night Shift facegloved, giving up any hope he had for a sensible question, Chop Chop halted in his polishing to stare, Freeze Blade waited for his answer and somewhere in the audience Eruptor barfed.

"Is that really what you wanted to ask?" The skeleton looked puzzled, not quite sure if the ice cat was serious. "Isn't it obvious? I just don't."

"But...that's weird." He didn't seem satisfied with that reply.

"Freeze Blade, we're undead. We don't need to." Night Shift tried to explain it a bit more carefully. The studio underwent an awkward silence as everyone considered this. The silence was smashed when the eye part of Eye Brawl swung down from the ceiling on a metal chain.

"I came in like an eye ball! I've never hit so hard in fright! All I wanted was to shoot you down! All you ever did was attack me!"

"What in high heavens?"

"Hey, I like this song."

"That is an embarrassment to our element!"

"I came in like an eye ball!"

Night Shift and Chop Chop ran around the studio trying manically to stop the lose eye ball while Freeze Blade strolled up to the camera lens.

"Shifty and Chop seem a little busy right now so I'm gonna end this episode before things get rowdy. Hope you have a nice day and remember to talk freezey!"

"Look out!"

A confused yelp was heard as a swinging eye ball smashed the camera.

I have nothing to say about this...

Can anyone guess what E-S-B stands for? There are some clues in the text (the answer will be reviled in a later chapter).

Zenet: The sidekicks would be an interesting addition, I wonder see what kind of mayhem they would cause!

Technow: I'm sure another giant will appear at some point, maybe one that would just about fit in the studio.

Guest: Oh God XD The salmon thing is a running joke between me and my friends, no one else really understands it.

Mpuppy4: It was fun putting Stealth Elf out of character, thanks for favouriting!

Lily Windwave: I don't really like Chill and Freeze Blade either, but it's important for the storyline. Jet Vac will be on around chapter 13.

Skylander0711: That's one of my favourite chapters too :)

Bandicoot Sauce: Yeah, most of the inspiration for this came from the Night Shift shortcut. I'm glad you like it and I'll defiantly be keeping it coming for a while yet!

I never thought I'd say it, but this story has hit 50 reviews! Cyber cookies for all! (I totally didn't let Pop Fizz near them...)

Next chapter: This character would never be caught eating sushi (Unless he wanted to be a cannibal!) and is not new to Swap Force.
