Autogyro Adventure
Over in New Camelot the Arkeyan Governors were watching the events that had transpired over in the Throne Room of the Grand Imperial Palace of the Lost City of Arkus.
"Kaos has the Iron Fist of Arkus, He has immense power and he's got the entire Arkeyan Robot Empire as his personal Robot Army," Techno groaned, "How the hell are we supposed to stop him now?"
"This means war! War I tell you!" Kira hissed, "I say we destroy Kaos once and for all!"
"And wipe out his mother, that thieving lizard Malefor, that insane alchemist and everyone else allied with him!" Shasta snapped.
"Hold it you two. If we're going to go after Malefor we need Sorcerer King Drake's help," Flora said before reminding them of something very important, "He's the only one who can cast the sealing spell to seal Malefor away."
"Flora is right, the sealing spell can only be casted by the leaders of the Arkeyan Sorcerer Empire and only those born into Arkeyan Sorcerer Empire Royal Family can use it but," Terrador said as he continued, "The sealing spell requires an extreme amount of Arkeyan Magic to cast it and it takes years of training just to even begin using it."
"And Drake's father King Ryan could not finish mastering the spell before he died casting it," Ventus spoke, "He didn't have enough power so it was incomplete and that's why Malefor was able to escape from the underworld and into Kaos' ranks."
"Let us hope that Drake is strong enough to use it otherwise we may have to ask for help from our bodyguards and King Ramses," Aqua said seriously.
"You do realize that in spite of all that has happened there is one more ally you eight can call upon for help," Ayumi said making an appearance in the meeting room, "You could always go and ask for help from the Oracle of Candracar."
The eight governors were stunned at what they just heard from Ayumi's mouth. They never thought that the most gung ho of all the Mystic Arkeyans would suggest that they ask one of the most powerful beings they knew of in the entire infinite dimension for help in defeating one of their most dangerous enemies.
As the governors were still getting what they just heard through their heads, Flynn, Cali, Reina, and Rita were near the entrance to the Caverns that would take them into the Lost City of Arkus. As expected the Zangyack Space Empire fleet was present around the city but the ships were too big to enter the lost city and the Gigant Horse was out of the question but that was an afterthought right now as the quartet was more concerned with getting to Arkus.
"Alright Cali this could be it, Rita and I are flying – Right into the Heart of the Lost City of Arkus. Guess what I'm trying to say is if I don't come back…" Flynn began before Cali interrupted.
"Flynn, Reina and I are following you in in the ship and so are the JTeens and the Skylanders remember?" Cali reminded as a loudspeaker rang out.
"Attention Arkeyan robot-minions. It is I, your new leader – Emperor Kaos!" Kaos' voice rang out, "Rise yes Rise and bear witness to the dawn of my glorious reign."
"Okay that's not good," Rita said, "We better hurry – It's only a matter of time before the Arkeyan Robots figure out Flynn's not one of them and the defenses kick in."
"And with Kaos in control of the Iron Fist of Arkus we cannot use our magic to negate the Arkeyan Robots and convince them we're not the enemy," Reina said. "We'll have to fight our way to Arkus."
"Right well tis won't be a problem for the greatest pilot in all of Skylands. Boom" Flynn said.
"Just get going, the others and I will meet you on the other side," Cali said seriously.
"Let's fly Flynn," Rita said as she and Reina hopped in with Flynn while Flynn flew the Arkeyan Autogyro through the Caverns of Arkus.
"Okay so how the heck do we fly this thing?" Reina asked having no clue how the Arkeyan Autogyro worked, "I may have trained in the Air Element but I have no clue on how to fly one of these things."
"Well from what I can see here this baby has a jet mode and a hover mode," Flynn said as he flew with the skills of Skylands greatest pilot, "I'm keeping this craft in jet mode for the time being."
While Flynn, Reina, and Rita flew the copter Eon and the Oracle were watching from Candracar but they were joined by a yon man in his early 20s with black hair brown eyes and wore a black trench coat with blue jeans and a green shirt with an enchanted Iron Fist with a gem in the center of the Iron Fist.
"See King Drake, you had nothing to worry about," the Oracle said to the youth, "Your sisters and their friends are doing very well in their quest to stop Kaos from using the Iron Fist of Arkus to take over the Arkeyan Robot Empire and ruling all of skylands."
"True but if I recall telling you Oracle, Kaos is still a dangerous enemy and with the likes of Azula and Muir he'll be harder to stop but now that he's got Malefor and the Zangyack Space Empire to do his bidding he'll be nearly unstoppable," Drake said to the Oracle, "By the way did I ever thank you for letting me train here with Cassidy, Halinor, Kadma, and Yan Lin in the ways of the elements as well as training with Luba, Tibor and the rest of the Council of Candracar in the Sealing Spell cause if I didn't then I'd like to say thank you."
"You've already said thank you to the Oracle, the Council of Candracar and the Previous guardians over 100 times young King and Portal Master," Eon said to Drake, "But I fear Kaos is gaining allies to help him take over all of Skylands and to make matters worse the Arkeyan Governors have already sentenced and eliminated Shendu to eternal torture every day until the end of creation for making Drago polish every suit of armor for yelling at that brat even if she did deserve it."
"Serves him right," Drake said much to Eon's shock and the Oracle's visible surprise, "I'm the one who gave the Arkeyan Governors the order to sentence Shendu to Eternal Torture every day until the end of creation. It serves him right for dishonoring our people to that extent. Now if you'll excuse me I have a sealing spell to work on."
Drake then left to go finish training in using the Sealing Spell as Eon and the Oracle both had worried looks on their faces knowing full well that the Arkeyans were extremely dangerous and unpredictable and there was no telling what the Arkeyans would do next to anybody else who dared to dishonor them or their people even to the mystic heart of a world like Elyon or the keeper of a mystic heart like Kadma or even to somebody like Luba.
Back in Skylands in the caverns that led to Arkus Flynn had landed the chopper after Rita fired the weapons to clear out an Arkeyan Ultron.
"Here we are the Maze of Myth," Reina said summoning Spyro, Pop Fizz, and Ninjini to lead the attack as she and Rita got out while Flynn waited by the copter.
"And we have to get yet another key and fight our way through numerous Arkeyan Robots and who knows what else, bring it on," Rita grinned as she and the Magic Element Skylanders fought the enemy while giving Reina enough time to find the key and take it to the slot to open the gate so they could continue onwards.
"Whatever you guys did in there worked- nice going!" Flynn said as the door opened while Reina and Rita hopped back into the seats on either side of Flynn.
The trio flew through the caverns until they entered the source and they saw that the war machines had begun marching across the area looking for intruders. Soon they flew into another part of the caverns and ran into another shooting door. Fortunately Rita's firing skills and Reina's aiming carried them through. Soon they arrived at another door which required a key and it was inside the Hall of Silence where Skylanders of the Air Element were stronger so Reina summoned Swarm, Whirlwind and Jet-Vac to lead the attack while Rita went to find the key.
"How much longer are these Caverns?" Rose asked as she, Sara, Cali, Hugo, Ermit and the JTeens minus the Sky Demon were on the Dread-Yacht following Flynn, Reina, and Rita to the Lost City of Arkus.
"Ease up Rose the good thing is that we cloaked the ship in a spell so we haven't been attacked yet," Sara said, "But Kaos and his random announcements are annoying."
"Either way we better be thankful Reina and Rita are doing what they can," Hugo reminded as the viewing window showed Rita placing the key into the slot, "We should also be thankful that they even trust Chrissie with flying this ship at all and that they haven't stripped Rose and Sara of their power s either."
"Hugo's right and our task at this point is to stop Kaos from getting the Arkeyan Robot Empire geared up and ready to attack all of Skylands," Chrissie said flying the Dread-Yacht.
Back with Reina, Rita, and Flynn the three of them were flying through the caverns until they found yet another door they couldn't shoot through so they had to find yet another key to open it. This time they were in an area known as the Gear Box and that was where Magi Element Skylanders were stronger so Spyro, Pop Fizz and Ninjini were to lead the attack while Reina and Rita went to go find the Key to the door.
"How many doors do the caverns leading to the Lost City of Arkus have King Drake?" an elderly blonde woman wearing a robe similar to the Oracle's asked Drake as they were watching the scene from Candracar in the viewing stone. "Your people must be very concerned about their security system or are they taking things over the top?"
"Well this is the Lost City of Arkus, the Royal City of the Arkeyan Robot Empire Halinor," Drake said to the former fire guardian, "What did you expect, a red carpet leading straight to the Grand Imperial Palace?"
Halinor shook her head knowing that the Sorcerer King would go into detail about the Arkeyan Robot Empire and the Lost City of Arkus in the process.
Back in the caverns Flynn, Reina, and Rita resumed flying the Autogyro through the caverns unaware that they were being tailed by Malefor himself as he had decided to follow them into Arkus and left Azula to watch the Gigant Horse.
"Ninja Shadowkhan go to world of Metamoor there's somebody there that I want you to free and eliminate anybody that prevents you from doing so. Bat Shadowkhan go to the world of Candracar, destroy the Aurameres, eliminate the fortress in Candracar and anybody who tries to stop you from doing so," Malefor ordered, "I want nobody interfering in my plan especially not that blasted Oracle!"
Right on cue Swarms of Bat Shadowkhan and swarms of Ninja Shadowkhan appeared and jumped into shadow portals to carry out the Dark Master's orders.
Meanwhile Reina, Rita, and Flynn arrived at the Machine where Skylanders of the Water Element were stronger so they had Thumpback, Zap, and Chill to lead the attack while Reina and Rita summoned Colleen to activate one of the gears.
"Are you sure it was a good idea to summon Colleen to activate one of the three gadgets needed to open the final door to Arkus?" Rita asked as they were battling Arkeyan Robots before sending Colleen back to the Dread-Yacht.
"To be honest no it was not a good idea despite Colleen leading the JTeens but it's part of her 130 day probation that our older brother Drake put her on," Reina said activating the second of the three gadgets before they made their way to the third gadget which once they activated caused the caverns to start rumbling.
"These Arkeyan Robots sure don't like visitors. Guys time to leg it this place is coming apart," Flynn yelled as Reina and Rita returned to the copter and they began flying their asses out of there and back through the Caverns which lead to the final door to Arkus.
"Here we are the Lost City of Arkus," Rita said, "Let's get back to the Dread-Yacht!"
"We'll need to regroup and come up with a plan," Reina said, "Kaos and Malefor are sure to go all out."
Once the group was back on the Dread-Yacht Reina, Rita, and Flynn gave Cali the news as to what happened in the caverns and what else was next.
"I'll spare you the details of how awesome and heroic I was back there," Flynn said.
"Flynn get over it you've been talking about it for the last ten minutes," Cali said annoyed.
"Okay so what's the point of that?" Flynn retorted.
"The last time the Arkeyan Robots were in power Skylands was nearly destroyed," Rose said.
"Now that Kaos has control we need to find him and stop him at once," Sara said, "And we need to find and defeat Malefor once and for all."
Back on the Gigant Horse which Malefor had somehow managed to tow into Arkus via his extensive mastery in magic, Azula was already using a window to hear and see everything that was said.
"Try all you want Malefor will destroy you and then Kaos will use the Arkeyan Robot Empire to conquer not only all of Skylands but also all of the known dimensions before taking over some new ones," Azula sneered quietly before breaking out into evil laughter that rang out through the Gigant Horse.
