The night sky was filled with stars. They sparkled above every island in Skylands, scattering light onto them. Snap Shot couldn't waste a single moment looking at them, since he was in a hurry to get to Cloudcracker Prison. He could hear many noises, among them the sound of fighting. The reptile already had an idea of what was going on, but he hoped that it was false. He summoned his Traptanium bow and arrow shortly before reaching the crystallized facility. What he saw left him shocked. All of the villains escaped and fought against a few Skylanders, who were obviously outnumbered.
Wallop used his hammers to dodge the burning peppers of Chef Pepper Jack. He couldn't hold his guard anymore and shortly before the chef could strike, Snap Shot slammed his arrow down in front of him, throwing the villain backwards.

"Wallop, what happened!?" Snap Shot helped his teammate up and demanded answers.

"All of the villains were set free!" The Earth Skylander flaunted his hammer at an incoming missile, destroying it instantly. "Someone found and used a button that opens every cell!"

The discussion was interrupted by a wicked laughter coming from the main entrance. Snap Shot turned around to see Golden Queen, walking with pride and smiling upon the chaos.

"You!" The Trap Master was outraged and approached the villainous goldling. "Golden Queen, why are you doing this? Didn't you redeem yourself?"

"Redeem myself? Pah!" The queen slammed her staff down to intimidate the leader of the Trap Masters. "If you really thought you could redeem the Doom Raiders, then you're a bigger fool than I thought!"

Snap Shot was grinding his teeth and gripped his weapon tightly. His sight went to a figure behind the Doom Raider that wasn't clearly visible. It almost seemed like it was hiding. The reptile's pupils shrunk, and he gasped after realizing that it was Wolfgang cowering behind Golden Queen.

The queen took notice of his reaction and dragged her minion into the light. "Come out Wolfgang, don't be so shy!" The villainess laughed with joy. "You see that Skylander? People don't change after all!"

Wolfgang wasn't even able to look at Snap Shot. He felt terrible for agreeing on Golden Queen's plan, especially after finally gaining Snap Shot's trust.
The Water Trap Master shook his head in disbelief before he became even more furious than before.

"You miserable coward!" Snap Shot's yelling was directed at Wolfgang, who kept on staring at the floor. "I should have never trusted you! I knew you couldn't change!" The Skylander's eyes started to tear up, but his sheer anger allowed him to hold them back. "I hate you!"

Golden Queen grabbed Wolfgang's jaw with her deadly nails and looked into his eyes. "You will go out there and keep those peasants from entering! Otherwise both you and your reptile friend will spend the rest of your miserable lives as statues! Do you understand?"

Wolfgang freed himself from her grip and put an intimidating, but also hurt face on. "Yes, my queen." The werewolf then leaped into the battle and started to fight the Skylanders with his bone harp.

Snap Shot remained angry and defended himself against the enemies' attacks. He looked around and spotted Gearshift, who split her Traptanium gear into two pieces and used them like blades. "Gearshift!" The Trap Master turned her head to Snap Shot after hearing his call. "Go get help! We won't make it on our own!"

"Understood!" The robot connected her gear and used it as a wheel around herself to quickly dash through the crowd and head back to the Academy.

Meanwhile, no one at the Academy suspected any danger. The prison was too far away for anyone to hear the fight, and the villains turned the alarms off without anyone noticing.

Stealth Elf was roaming through the Academy, looking for the mysterious Enigma and Star Strike. She hasn't seen them since she returned from the Path of Doors, but she knew that at least one of them was here. The elf saw many familiar faces, some returned a confused stare after seeing her so tense and observative. Finally, she found what she was looking for. Star Strike was floating over the hovering bricks which served as a path to the dimensional portal. Stealth Elf used it to escape from the mysterious realm and return to the Academy, so she already knew where Star Strike would go.
Before the Magic Skylander was able to enter the gate, Stealth Elf exited her invisibility mode after using it to sneak up to Star Strike and pushed her to the ground.

"You're not going anywhere!" The assassin pinned the alien down, not allowing her to get back up.

"What are you doing!? Let me go!" Star Strike tried to break free from Stealth Elf's hold, but the Life Skylander was stronger than her.

The other Skylanders turned around and wondered what was going on. Among them was Spyro, who rushed to the two Skylanders with both relief and anger. "Stealth Elf!" The dragon grabbed his friend and pulled her away from Star Strike, who brushed the dirt off herself after getting back up. "What are you doing?"

Stealth Elf used her arms to make Spyro loosen his grip and slip out of his arms. "She's hiding something!" The elf pointed at Star Strike, exposing her in front of everyone. "She's regularly traveling to the Path of Doors and is trying to open the gate to another realm!"

The crowd surrounding them gasped and mumbled. Some questioned what she was talking about, others have heard of the place and became worried.

Star Strike pulled out one of her fans and held the blade against Stealth Elf's throat. "How do you know that?"

"Because I followed you!" Stealth Elf was enraged and slammed the weapon away. "I followed Enigma, he's involved in this as well! Where is he?"

"Wait- Is that about that time you saw him leave in a balloon?" Spyro couldn't believe Stealth Elf. "Elf are you serious? This is none of your business!"

"It is if they are planning something against us!" Stealth Elf looked at Star Strike with suspicion and distrust. "Why else would they go when no one sees them?"

"Because it's been forbidden!" Star Strike hissed back at the distrustful assassin. "All we're trying to do is open a harmless door to a harmless realm! We would never do anything to endanger Skylands!"

"Eon forbid the trespassing in that realm because apocalyptic danger lingers behind any simple door!" Stealth Elf used one of the oldest rules to win the argument. "Even if you're trying to enter a harmless realm, the next door could unleash a black hole! It's too risky!"

The fight was interrupted by the sound of a gear rolling across the ground. "Everyone, we require your assistance! The villains have escaped and are battling against us!"

Everyone was shocked to hear the news, but the Skylanders didn't hesitate to ready their weapons and join their allies.

Stealth Elf pulled out her daggers. Before the elf ran off, she gave Star Strike one last look. "This is not over."

Everyone was heading towards Cloudcracker Prison, some quicker than others. Chill was among the last ones since her heavy armor prevented her from running any faster. While running, she took notice of one of the fountains they passed. It started to freeze as soon as Chill got near. The Water Skylander separated herself from the crowd to investigate the strange appearance. She slowly walked towards the pond, which was completely frozen by the time she looked into it.

"Chill." A strange voice sounded. "Chill." It repeated the warrior's name. Chill swiftly looked around herself, searching for the one talking to her.

"Who are you?" She asked without even knowing where to look.

"You know who I am." The pond started to glow in a tender white light, which caught Chill's attention. As the human was staring into the frozen water, two eyes appeared from underneath the ice. They had icy blue irises and pupils in the shape of snowflakes. "Don't you want to see your queen again?"

Chill gasped and couldn't believe what she was hearing. "No… it can't be!"

"Chill!" Another voice called the Skylander. It was Roller Brawl, who skated all the way back after noticing her friend's absence. "Come on! The others need our help!"

Chill looked back at the pond, it reverted back into regular water. "Of course, I'm coming!" She followed the vampire and tried to run as fast as she could. Even though Chill could no longer hear the voice, all she could think about was what she just experienced. After all these years of searching, she may have finally found the person she dedicated her life to again.

Back at Cloudcracker Prison, the Trap Masters were still battling against the escaping villains. Snap Shot used his weapon to shoot down any enemy that tried to escape. He fought through the monster hoards until he finally saw Wolfgang. The Doom Raider viciously attacked other Trap Masters, and tried to keep them from following him. The wolf ran away from the battle to get behind the prison. The Skylanders followed him but were stopped by Snap Shot.

"This one's mine! Take care of the others!" His companions nodded and left. Snap Shot was still hurt and frustrated by Wolfgang's betrayal, so he wanted to take care of him personally. The reptile soon reached his enemy and pointed an arrow at him. "Take one more step and this arrow will end up in your throat!" Snap Shot's hatred was reignited, and he could feel it burning throughout his entire body.

Wolfgang stopped immediately and turned around, he didn't want to fight. "Snap Shot-"

"Shut up!" Snap Shot roared and pulled his arrow even further. "We trusted you! We thought that you would finally stop this tyranny, but you betrayed us!" The crocodile's teeth gnashed from anger. "I trusted you!"

Without hesitating, the Trap Master shot his arrow. Wolfgang used his bone harp to dodge the attack, which was followed by Snap Shot running towards him. The two got into an intense battle. They exchanged heavy strikes and it was an equal match. Wolfgang decided to pull out an arrow and shoot it at the Traptanium bow, throwing it to the ground.

"You got that from me!" Snap Shot reminded the wolf of their training and was furious that he used his own techniques.

"I don't wanna fight Snap!" Wolfgang dropped his weapon to the ground. "I never wanted this! This is the queen's work!"

"Then why are you on her side?" Snap Shot didn't bother to pick up his weapon and instead yelled at Wolfgang from a distance.

"She's… our leader." Wolfgang wasn't proud of himself. "She manipulates all her followers to do her bidding, I had no choice!"

"Of course, you did!" The Water Trap Master took one step closer to his foe. "You could've fought alongside us! You could be a Skylander!"

Snap Shot stopped to talk after hearing the arrival of an army. He went back to the other side of the building to see countless Skylanders joining the battle. The Water Skylander was happy, but that changed after he realized that Wolfgang disappeared. Snap Shot took his weapon once more and decided to help his allies against the other villains.

Meanwhile, Sprocket entered Cloudcracker Prison without any villain spotting her. She wanted to fix the cells and make sure that the enemies can't escape once they're trapped again. In the heart of the facility, Dreamcatcher was absorbing energy from a crystal which powered the prison.

"Hey!" Sprocket shouted and held her wrench tightly. "What do you think you're doing?"

Dreamcatcher stopped the absorption and looked at the goldling with distaste. "Ew, what are you supposed to be? A low-budget version of Goldy?"

Sprocket didn't answer and instead rushed towards the villainess. As she tried to hit the head with her wrench, Dreamcatcher easily floated out of the way and launched a tornado at the Skylander. Sprocket quickly used her glove to build a turret. Instead of catching Sprocket, the cyclone enwrapped the weapon and tore it into pieces. The engineer pulled out one of her mines and used her wrench to toss it at Dreamcatcher. The Air villain took the hit and became furious. She summoned a mechanical claw with a bow attached to it, which dived right towards Sprocket. It grabbed the Tech Skylander by her shirt and lifted her into the air to face Dreamcatcher.

"Did you actually think you could beat me? You're too lame for that!" The floating head laughed, revealing her hideous teeth with braces.

"We will stop you!" Sprocket tried to free herself from the grip of the claw, but it made it impossible for her to do so. "The others will-"

Before Sprocket could finish her sentence, the main entrance slammed open. The Skylanders defeated the villains and guided them back into their cells!"

"They did it!" Sprocket smiled with joy and looked Dreamcatcher into the eyes with confidence. "Give up already, you've lost!"

Dreamcatcher remained calm and only laughed at Sprocket's statement. "Are you sure about that?"

The next thing she knew, Sprocket found herself on the floor of the same room she just battled Dreamcatcher in. "It… was just a dream." Sprocket looked around herself. There were no signs of Dreamcatcher, nor victory. She wanted to get back to the others, but every door was locked. "Hey! Someone get me out of here!" The Tech Skylander slammed against the door, hoping that someone would hear her.

The battle in front of the prison was still in full swing. The villains couldn't fight the Skylanders off to escape, but the Skylanders couldn't get the villains back into the prison either. It was an intense fight, and everyone did their best to succeed. Snap Shot lead the other Trap Masters in order to keep all the villains in sight. He soon noticed Wallop near the stairs leading to the entrance. It looked like he was about to hit someone, but he couldn't make out who. Snap Shot was able to get a glimpse of the villain laying in front of the Earth Skylander. He could recognize the orange fur anywhere.

"Wolfgang?" Snap Shot walked towards Wallop from behind, but didn't interfere.

Golden Queen watched as the Skylander edged closer to the wolf, she wasn't concerned in the slightest. Finally, Wallop threw his hammer behind himself and leaned forward to crush the werewolf. The Trap Master stopped shortly before the strike, he felt an unbearable pain in his stomach. The Trap Master looked down to see a blue Traptanium arrow covered in blood. Snap Shot pierced his ally with it before he could end Wolfgang. The Earth Skylander stumbled on his feet, until he finally fell to the ground with a heavy thump.
Snap Shot was paralyzed. He couldn't believe what he just did. He killed his friend to protect a Doom Raider. The reptile slowly turned his head around, he couldn't hide the fear in his eyes. All Skylanders and every villain stopped to look at the tragedy in shock. No one said a word, they had to process what just happened.

"My results were correct." Gearshift was the first one to say something, and this time even she sounded surprised.

"He killed him!" Tuff Luck was right behind Snap Shot and saw the murder with her own eyes. "He's one of them!"

The entire crowd became furious and started to shout in rage. They were angry at Snap Shot, who only moved away from them without even trying to defend himself.

"This is what I call a betrayal!" Golden Queen's powerful voice silenced everyone. The queen descended from the stairs and stopped in front of Wallop's body. "I did expect one of you to die, but not like this." The wicked goldling looked back at Wolfgang with satisfaction. "Good job Wolfgang, you really got this one."

"I-" Snap Shot couldn't force a word out of his mouth. He didn't want to kill Wallop, but he didn't want Wolfgang to die either.

"You don't have to apologize." Golden Queen reassured the Trap Master. "This was your decision wasn't it?" Snap Shot looked at the queen and felt panicked after her sentence. "You decided to kill your ally in order to protect your foe. That's quite… ironic."

The rest of the Skylanders were angry and shocked. They remained silent while Golden Queen was talking, but their looks were enough to let Snap Shot know how they felt.

"It seems to me that your friends aren't happy about that." The other villains, including Dreamcatcher, started to gather behind the sorceress and smile sinisterly. "Staying with them wouldn't be a very smart decision."

"What do you want?" Snap Shot broke free from his trance and yelled at the leader of the Doom Raiders.

"You're one of us now, Snap Shot." Golden Queen's mouth formed into a slight evil smile and she reached her hand out to the Water Skylander. "Come with us. You're not wanted here anymore."

Snap Shot took another look at his friends. Their expressions were spiteful, and he knew that he would be in trouble if he stayed. The reptile turned around and after a long moment of thought, he grabbed Golden Queen's hand.

The villainess smiled. "Now." She spoke a command which lead to Dreamcatcher creating a whirlwind around all the villains. It engulfed them to the point where no Skylander could see them anymore. After it vanished, they were all gone. Golden Queen, the villains and Snap Shot disappeared without a sign.
