Chapter 12: The Diamond key in the garden of hanging pain.
"Sword of Omens...Give me sight beyond sight!"
Upon the command, the blade's hand guards began to grow before completely matching Lion-o's gazed. The Skylanders watched before Flynn turned to Panthro and asked. "So this sight beyond sight... It can make him see the...way, right?"
"Hey, I'm not an expert on magical techno mumbo jumbo... But, yeah that sums it up mostly." Panthro shrugged after finishing the pilot's question. He then looked around once more. "...Why do I keep having this feeling of Deja Vu?"
"Ooh! It's THIS ONE!" Pop Fizz grabbed a wooden key and ran over to the gate and shoved it into the lock...The gate suddenly opened. "Second try! BOOYAHHHHHHH!-" He didn't finish because a giant wooden fist, popped out and punched the alchemist all the way across the cavern. The fist then recoiled into the door, before the gate closed and locked itself again.
The sword of omens then shifted back into it's normal form as Lion-o lowered it and looked at Panthro and Flynn and said, "There's an area with three stone slabs in the deepest part of the cavern..I think those are the "Three swords" The riddle was going on about."
"But I'm so close!" Pop Fizz said looking around and grabbing a random key and ran off to the gate. "IT"S THIS ONE! I KNOW IT-"
There was the sound of water freezing before Pop Fizz came back to the group...Encased in a block of ice.
"...Lead the way, Lion-o." Tree Rex said gesturing to Lion-o. The leader then walked ahead and led the group towards a tunnel.
Panthro sighed before grabbing Pop Fizz's arm, which was sticking out of the block of ice. "Come on, you Popfizzicle..." He then dragged the magic skylander as he walked after the others.
Kaos and Mum-ra, along with WolfGang, were watching our heroes struggle with the gate riddle.
"...Look at them, they don't have a clue!" WolfGang said chuckling.
"No...He's getting close." Mum-Ra said to WolfGang.
"To getting crushed?"
"...Let's find out... These weapons however, I'm most interested in..."
The team were standing in the center of the surrounding three swords. "Where three swords meet..." Lion-o said as he thought. "The sword showed me the location of the key, but not what the key looks like..."
"So one of the keys that's hanging in the circle is the one that opens the door?" FistBump asked. The frozen Pop Fizz shook violently before breaking free and reaching for a ruby red key.
"IT'S THIS ONE! I FOUND IT!" Pop Fizz then excitedly ran back to the door...
There was the sound of burning and Pop Fizz's screaming. He came back, burnt to a crisp. And simply said. "I give up." He then fell face first to the cave floor and fainted.
"The key we're looking for is voided and contains no element," Lion-o said looking at each key before stopping. There, hanging before him, was a white silver key. unlike the others it didn't have any decorations or flashy design, it was just... Normal. "Well, it's the only key here that's dull looking. Guess duller is better." He then pulled the key loose from it's string.
"...I have to say, this place is great for a headquarters. Hard to believe Koar is letting us stay here." Tygra said as he and Cheethra walked down the grand hallway of Koar's castle. "Most sorcerers we met either tried to kill us or enslave us."
"...Which is why we can't let our guard down, even for a second." Cheethra said to Tygra. "At least until we know we can trust him and the Skylanders."
"Speaking of which." Tygra said stopping and gesturing ahead. Cheethra looked ahead and saw Koar standing before a large portrait that was hung up in the hallways.
"Hey, Koar!" Tygra call to him, startling the dragboar in the process. "What are you looking...At." Tygra stopped when he looked at the painting. The painting was that of a Dragboar that shared a similar fur pattern with Koar, however, the dragboar on the painting looked much, much older than Koar, evidence by the painting dragboar's long mane-like beard. And the armor he was wearing looked ancient.
"...It's a portrait of my Father, Master Kaboaris. Drawn back during the war with Maleafor." Koar said straighting his posture.
"So this is your father?" Cheethra asked studying the picture. "I bet he was a renowned sorcerer, a great leader and father." Koar's usual confident face turned to sadness. And Cheetra knew what made him feel so depress. The look he had...
It was the look that showed someone's family had died.
"So, how is he?" Tygra said bluntly, Cheethra then immediately kick him lightly in the ankle for being so insensitive.
"Oh! Uh, Well, he's...For a long time now he's..." Koar continued to stammer before Night Shift, the undead Swap Skylander, floated by and finish for him.
"He's dead," Night Shift said floating pass the three and continued onwards, causing Koar to look at the ground and said quietly. "Uh, yeah that..."
At that moment, Cheethra gave Tygra a glare for being so blunt before turning to Koar and comforting him. "He must have been a great leader. You should feel very proud to have someone to look up to."
"Thanks, I think," Koar said before turning and walking away. "I have to go check on Lion-o and the others."
"...What?" Tygra said confused at Cheethra continued glare. She sighed before saying, "You're lucky that I love you."
"I thought we couldn't let our guard down?" Tygra asked shrugging. "You were a bit too compassionate back there..."
"...Koar's honest. But...We need to be more aware on how much he knows about the two gems that brought Skylands here." Cheethra said thinking. "And what about Kaos? If what Koar said was true...He could be much stronger...and cleverer then Mum-Ra..." She then looked at Tygra and said with a serious tone:
"Who knows what he could be capable of?"
To be contiuned.
