Quicksilver Vault

The JTeens and the Arkeyan Twins made their way down the Chain of Time to a grey glowing stone vault. The place looked like it was covered in clouds and fit the silver theme quite nicely. The team then saw a hologram of the Weapon Master.

"The Eternal Source of Magic was the Original Source of all creations." The Weapon Master Said, "But as we uncovered its secrets its power could not be contained."

"Okay but what does this have to do with the Oil we need for the Core of Light?" Ice asked.

"The Oil we need for the Core of Light is known as the Quicksilver." Rose answered, "It is the energy that flows through all that is magic and is the energy that will allow the Core of Light to receive the Eternal Magic Source."

"Sounds easy enough," Colleen said, "But knowing your Arkeyan Ancestors this vault is heavily guarded."

"It is guarded," Sara said, "Our ancestors put in numerous traps and placed plenty of Arkeyan Robots to guard the vault against all intruders."

"Guess they didn't want anybody else getting their secrets." Chrissie said, "They probably have security rivaling that of Section 13."

The team said no more as they all traversed the Vault with Chrissie in the lead and Whirlwind and Sonic Boom supporting her as they entered the Skeleton Gate. Wind Skylanders were stronger in that zone and they faced down the Arkeyan Blasters. The two Air Skylanders had a bit of trouble with them but with Chrissie's wind powers supporting them they blasted the drones.

"Those Arkeyan Drones don't play around." Chrissie said as she studied the technology, "Who ever created those drones really knew what they were dong. The Technology is amazing."

"Why thank you." The Arkeyan Twins said as Chrissie realized she was talking about Rose and Sara's ancestors. "We Arkeyans take pride in our craft."

So the Arkeyan twins kept talking with Chrissie about the tech of the Arkeyans when they ran into some new enemies called Gnashers. They were literally blue droplets of flames but with Colleen's help and that of the Eternal Water Source they were easily dispatched. They then ran into more Arkeyan robots called Arkeyan Defenders but Chrissie, and the two air Skylanders easily dispatched them.

"Wow Chrissie's really in the zone." Cody said as they continued walking through the Quicksilver Vault.

"Well we are dealing with robot guards in an area that hasn't been seen for over 10,000 years." Colleen reminded. "Of course Chrissie and the Twins can handle this with our support."

The JTeens continued making their way through the Skeleton Gate where they then ran into another new enemy. Only this one was the same Robot that Cody and Hsi Wu saw in the Molekin Mine.

"I take it that this is the robot you saw?" Rose said and both Cody and the Sky Demon nodded their heads.

"That's an Arkeyan Ultron." Sara explained. "It's an ancient Arkeyan War machine."

"So how do we defeat it?" Ice asked.

"Wait till its locking on to its targets and then we strike." Rose said.

So the team avoided and evaded attacks as the machine began to target one of them. As the Robot targeted them the unleashed everything they had on the Arkeyan Ultron destroying it.

"That was tough." Drago said, "but somehow I get the feeling there'll be more robots."

"Drago's right," Sara said, "We had best get going."

The team didn't argue any further as they headed to the teleporter and found themselves in the Main Gate Area of the Quicksilver Vault. There they ran into Magic Spell Punks but Air Skylanders were strong in that area as well. Chrissie, Whirlwind and Sonic Boom had little trouble dealing with the enemies. Soon the group went to get the key and teleported to another section of the Main Gate. The team then fought their way through more enemies before landing on the teleporter leading

"After you," Chrissie said as she and the two Air Skylanders were the last to step on the teleporter before fighting their way through the enemies.

The waves of enemies were stronger but they defeated them all and eventually ended up back at the gate next to the Weapon Master. The team then unlocked the Gate as Rose and Sara stood next to him while he began to explain.

"We Arkeyans once ruled all of Skylands. We guarded the Eternal Source of Magic to prevent future generations from discovering our secrets." The Weapon Master's Hologram said gesturing to the twins who stood on either side of him. "Beyond this gate is what remains of our defenses."

The group could then see what the Weapon Master was talking about as they could see a vast platform where the vial of oil they were looking for could be seen.

"The Quicksilver Vault lies ahead." The Weapon Master said, "It will only open when the three energy beams are aligned with the three seals."

The Group could then see the three energy crystals they had to align. So they all slid down the chain to The Scion of Earth, the Vault area itself.

"Guys we're in The Scion of Earth." Rose said, "This is where the Quicksilver vault is and this is where Magic Skylanders are stronger."

"Then I'll take the lead here." Colleen said as she summoned Voodood to support her while Spyro took the helm of the attack. They ran into a few enemies but Voodood and Spyro's attacks combined with Colleen's water element easily took care of them.

"Here we are guys, The Grand Ballroom." Sara said as the team walked into said zone, "This is where the Weapon Master said to align the energy beams."

So the team easily aligned each crystal to get the laser to open to each path. The first puzzle started simple but the second puzzle got a little tougher and the third was complicated at first but thanks to Chrissie's skills they opened the puzzle and unlocked the vault.

"The vault has been opened." The Weapon Master Said, "You may at last retrieve what you seek."

the team said their thanks as the group headed through the teleporter to get back to the Scion of Earth. They then faced some more enemies and defeated them with Spyro and Voodood's help and soon they found themselves standing right before the Quicksilver.

"We pass unto you the very essence of all magical being…" The Weapon Master said, "The Quicksilver."

Rose and Sara then teleported the group out of the vault. The team then found themselves standing before the Core of Light as the Quicksilver hovered before them.

"The Quicksilver," Eon said, "To bind the magic within the Core of Light."

The Vial then added itself to the core as the silver runes on the great machine shone a bright silver.

Moments later the JTeens were then standing with Hugo before Rose, Sara and the Weapon Master.

"The Quicksilver is flowing through the core. I can't believe it." Hugo said excitedly, "Who knew that there are still remnants of the Arkeyans?"

"We did." Rose, Sara and the Weapon Master said in unison.

"Oh, um, well of course you did," Hugo said nervously before composing himself, "Please we must find the Eternal Magi Source."

"It's the last piece we need to restore the Core of Light." Colleen added.
"Can you help us?" Chrissie asked.

"Yes we can." The Weapon Master replied.

"I can't believe I'm talking to a real Arkeyan." Hsi Wu said, "This is a first."

"It's a first for all of us as well." Ice said, "We're in the presence of Royalty."

"I thought the Arkeyans all disappeared." Cody said, "At least that's what Hugo spoke."

"So did I." Hugo said, "its been over 10,000 years."

"In the case of the Arkeyan Sorcerers we have always been here." Rose said, "We have endured and grown and our way of life has survived."

"And we have also learned about the culture of skylands and the arts as well." Sara added before gesturing to the Weapon Master to continue.

"As the Arkeyan Sorcerer Queens said in some ways, we have disappeared but in others we have always been here," The Weapon Master spoke, "But for now, you will find the Eternal Source of Magic locked away in our ancient armory, where you will also witness the full expanse of our civilization… of our power. Would you like to go to our armory now JTeens?"

The Teens nodded yes to the Weapon Master and the twins.

"Excellent." The Weapon Master said, "Then the Arkeyan Armory awaits you. Rose and Sara will guide you will through the Armory."

Rose and Sara then led the JTeens across the great chain of time to the Arkeyan Armory. The Arkeyan Sorceress Queens knew that if the Armory was anything like the Quicksilver Vault then this would be the toughest source to retrieve yet.

Next Time:

The JTeens discover the armory of Rose and Sara's Arkeyan Ancestors and discover how powerful the twins' civilization was 10,000 years ago. They then have to do battle with the Arkeyan Defenses. Will they retrieve the Eternal Magic Source or will the Arkeyan Defenses do them in? Read and review to find out.
