Chapter 52: Retreat and Reconstruction.
A fleet of shield breaker dropships were charging towards the WorldHeart's barrier. The front of ships were design by Kaos to penetrate any magic barrier, allowing a platoon of troops to slip past. The dropships and their tipped bows started to slowly tear past the barrier before phasing through entirely.
"We have a breach! All Skylanders near the WorldHeart, Get to the point of attack and fight with all your might!" Koar ordered, his voice heard across the entire island thanks to his magic.
The dropships landed near the WorldHeart before the lizards inside jumped onto the ground. But suddenly...
"CHARGE!"
An equally large group of Skylanders jumped out as if from nowhere and attacked the lizards. "Born to Burn!" Eruptor cried out as he landed in front of a lizard platoon, the lava monster barfed up a river of lava to push back the frightened troops. The lava circled around, trapping the unprepared lizards in a ring of fire. Due to the Skylanders' unique fighting style, The lizards weren't ready for the sudden ambush.
"Yeah! You better run!" Cynder yelled before firing a burst of black lighting at a armored lizard troop as they started to retreat. "Volts and Lighting!"
One of the trap masters, Bushwhack; jumped into the air before landing in front of a lizard platoon. The impact from his landing called forth a giant tree. "Timber!" He shouted before using his axe to chop the tree in one strike, the oak started to fall in the direction of the lizards. They started to run away only to be caught in the tree's branches as it fell on them.
The lizards opened fire at the large team of heroes as the Skylanders took them out one by one.
"We should be getting closer to the bridge..." Sprocket said to the others. She was in front as the group quickly walked down the metal hall.
"Can sense evil magic..." Voodoo said, the orc took a deep breath. "...Mumm-ra is close."
"Wait, I picking up a presence...Around the corner." Sprocket warned when she picked up five blips on her radar.
"Everyone, Get ready to attack..." Lion-o whispered before they heard footsteps, shadows began to move along the edge of the wall. Cheetara then recognized the shadow's shapes.
"Lion-o! Wait!" But the time she said that, the king and the rest of the group ran around the corner of the hall weapons ready as they let out a battle cry. After a few grunts from combat, Suddenly; Stealth Elf walked out from the corner Lion-o disappeared to.
"Is this your team?" Stealth Elf asked urging the cleric to follow, when she turned around the corner...A hilarious sight was awaiting her.
Both Lion-o's team and Spyro's team were piled up, both in confusion of the attacks. Sprocket was standing by the pile, baffled by the situation.
"Well, this is a sad day for the Skylanders..." Spyro said towards Lion-o, the two were both on top of the pile.
"OW! Alright, who bit me!?" Gill Grunt yelled in pain when his foot was bitten.
"Sorry, Though you were Sprocket." Shroomboom said from within the pile. Sprocket sudden gasp turned to a grunt of anger before she struck the pile with her wrench.
"OW! What was that for!?" Terrafin said rubbing his bruised head.
"Sorry, Thought you were the fungus." She replied in an innocent tone as she hid the wrench behind her back.
"What is it with men and always throwing themselves in danger before women...?" Stealth Elf said shaking her head.
"I think it has something to do with chivalry or something." Cheetara replied as she watched to group pulled themselves apart.
"I'm growing impatient! Prepare another charge, Slith!" Mumm-ra ordered, the lizard commander walked over to the terminal before looking towards the island.
"Sir, There are still lizards on the island! If we fire now..." Slithe started before Mumm-ra hissed over his shoulders.
"Did I tell you to hesitate?...Prepare the cannon..."
"Dude, that cold!" Mumm-ra and Slith, along with any lizard on the bridge; Turned to the source of the voice. Lion-o and his team ran into the room during the two's dispute. "You're willing to kill your own troops!? Man that's evil." Terrafin said shaking his head.
"Evil and monstrous!" Lion-o replied as he shouted at the corpse. "Evil doesn't begin to describe what he done..."
"Evil, monster, They're all just words if you really thought about it..." Mumm-ra said chuckling towards the heroes.
"You..." Spyro started as he got next to Lion-o. "You destroyed a star and hundreds of lives...You killed Lion-o's father right before his eyes...You made an innocent cat fall into despair! And now, You're willing to sacrifice a whole faction of your army just to destroy something that's barring your powers!?" Spyro then backed away and crooked his head. "You do realized that there are other career paths than this..."
"That's it..." Lion-o said growling, the way Spyro laid out all of the mummy's deeds was enough to drive him. He then ran forward and started to jump up the machinery towards the main bridge. "I'm taking him out!"
"Lion-o! Don't just-!" Spyro growled in annoyance of the king's rashness. He turned to Cheetara. "Cheetara, you and the others keep the lizards off of us...I'm going to keep Lion-o from doing something stupid." He then flapped his wings before springing into the air, chasing after the king.
"Everyone, get ready!" Cheetara shouted as she readied her staff. Lizard troops were now closing in on the group of heroes.
"Time for the old-one-two..." Terrafin said before punching a lizard in the face, he repeated the notion and began to punch the lizard repeatedly before ending it with an uppercut. The lizard was shot into another group before Terrafin performed a belly flop on the whole lizard troop. It was total chaos from here on out as the Skylanders fought the lizards, they were outnumbered; but the lizards were overpowered by the Skylanders' attacks.
Cheetara and Stealth Elf were surrounded, back to back; a dozen lizards around the two. "I think this will require some teamwork..." Stealth Elf said to Cheetara.
"Gotcha, let's give something that'll make these lizards heads' spins..." Cheetara said before beginning to run around in a circle, confusing the lizards at first before a cyclone of green leaves burst forth from the center of the circle, multiple daggers started to strike the lizards out one by one, sending them off to Cloudcracker before the entire squad was wiped out. Cheetara then stopped her dash as Stealth Elf suddenly appeared, the two gave a nod of respect towards each other before looking towards the bridge.
Spyro landed beside Lion-o as they faced the dark mummy standing a few feet away from them, Mumm-ra growled. "You and these meddlesome Skylanders are really getting on my nerves..." Mumm-ra said coldly as he started to reached for the Sword of Plun-darr. "Time to finish this..." He began to breathe deeply.
"Ancient Spirits of Evil! Transform this decayed form into Mumm-ra! The Everliving!"
The sound of metal clinking filled the air as Mumm-ra transformed into his true Everliving form. Spyro shook his head when he saw Mumm-ra's transformation.
"You don't scare us! I met Malefor, And he's ten times more terrifying than you are!" Spyro countered as he and Lion-o got in a battle stance.
"It's over, Mumm-ra. You almost have no forces left..." Lion-o said getting the Sword of Omens ready for battle. Mumm-ra chuckled.
"...Kaos might be a fraud, but he has something that I respect..." Mumm-ra said towards the two. "Determination... No matter how many times he fails, he seems to get up with more power than before...And the large factions that are loyal to him, seem to also impress me..." Mumm-ra then shook his head. "Nevertheless... He is just a speck of dust to the overwhelming power of the Ancients Spirits of Evil... Although, they did seemed worried about the power he wielded..."
"What do you mean?" Lion-o asked as he kept the blade trained on him.
"The Darkness was once a conscious being, But all that's left is it's power..." Mumm-ra explained, he looked at his own reflection in the Sword of Plun-darr. "The power that was halved long ago..." He then looked at Lion-o and hissed. "But enough now." He charged at the king. "Your time has come! Lord of the ThunderCats!"
"Stay back, Spyro." Lion-o ordered the dragon before charging at Mumm-ra. He and Mumm-ra began to exchange strikes, their swords meeting and shedding sparks. The two continuing fighting until Mumm-ra knocked Lion-o back.
"Lion-o...!" Spyro exclaimed when the king slid up beside him, he looked at Mumm-ra as his mouth filled up with fire, he took a deep breath. "Daybringer..." Spyro then released a mighty ball of flames towards Mumm-ra. "FLAME!"
The force of the impact was enough to knock Mumm-ra next to Slith, who was standing at the control panel. "...Urf...You purple dragons...No wonder you were a revered species... While I love to rip you to pieces and discover what makes you powerful, I have matters of the "heart" to attend to..." He then turned to Slith. "Fire the cannon!"
Slith just stood there, watching the battle on the WorldHeart grounds. "What are you waiting for?! FIRE!" Mumm-ra ordered again.
Slith then looked at Mumm-ra before looking at his lizard troops by the WorldHeart. He then looked at Mumm-ra with a defiant look.
"No."
Mumm-ra grabbed Slith and threw him over the bridge railing for that act of defiance. Slith managed to hang on to the edge of the floor before he could fell off. "If you want something done, do it yourself..." Mumm-ra said before smashing the big, red button for the main cannon.
Suddenly, the back of the hull exploded as the energy built up, sending beams of energy straight out of the hull, taking down the surrounding fighters. The flagship shook as warning sirens filled the air. "WHAT!?" Mumm-ra yelled when he felt the ship tilt. "No! NO! NO! NO! NOOOOO!"
"Lion-o!" Spyro yelled as he charged up another DayBringer Flame, this time; aiming it at Lion-o. He fired it towards the king.
Lion-o smiled as he raised the Sword Of Omens behind his shoulder and hit the giant ball of fire towards Mumm-ra. The power from the Sword of Omens increased the magic inside the flame, causing it to transform into a lion's head as it got closer to the corpse.
"DAYBRINGER ROAR!"
The burst of magical fire was enough to launched Mumm-ra out of the glass windows, leaving a gaping hole where he was shot out from. Mumm-ra managed to transform into his crow form before weakly flying away.
"Yes! That was awesome!" Spyro shouted excitedly as he ran over to Lion-o. The others joined them on the bridge, where Terrafin and Gill Grunt helped Slith up from falling.
"Two words..." Terrafin started as they finally got the commander onto the bridge. "Diet...and...exercise..." Terrafin exhaustly said as he gestured to Slith's round body.
"Hey!"
The group then turned and saw Sharpfin, Along with Panthro, Ghost Roaster, and Wildfire. Who were on Sharpfin's ship, floating outside of the broken pane of glass. "This ship is going down! Hurry up already!" Sharpfin shouted. Lion-o then gestured the others to follow him. One-by-one, SharpFin's ship was boarded. When Slith boarded however...SharpFin leered. "Don't tell me this tub of lard is coming along with us?"
"I can hear you..." Slith hissed at the land shark.
"Just get us out of here!" Lion-o ordered. The speedboat then dashed away from the sinking battleship as it started to sink below the clouds. Tygra and the other Superchargers then joined beside them as they got closer to the saved WorldHeart.
The Mabu were busy, repairing damage done by Mumm-ra's forces. The lizards...Along with Slith were all rounded up and taken to CloudBreak for questioning.
"Don't feel so bitter, Lion-o..." Koar told Lion-o as they walked through the damaged streets of the Mabu town. "The evacuation was a success...No one was killed or injured..."
"But the mabu lost their homes...The battle was supposed to be between me and Mumm-ra...And I feel guilty dragging you and your friends into this..." Lion-o said stopping to face the Portal Master.
"The Mabu can easily replace the buildings that were lost...A life, however. Is too valuable to lose." Koar mused gesturing to the salvaging Mabu.
"I guess you're right..." Lion-o said shaking his head.
"And besides, It is clear to me Mumm-ra is too dangerous to leave alone...With you having all but one stone...Mumm-ra will continue to attack you and our friends until he has all of the power stones..." Koar explained, Lion-o replied by nodding. "And I would like to assist you in any way possible...Your majesty." He then extended a hand towards Lion-o, the king smiled before shaking it with gratitude.
"So, Let me get this straight..." Tygra said as an animatronic arm lowered to the table he was sitting at and began to pour a cup of tea. "Jaga...THE Jaga, Is the one pouring us drinks?" Tygra asked as the animatronic continued to pour tea for Mags, Koar and the rest of the Thundercats.
"He has control of most of the systems, total immigration." Mags replied before Jaga projected his form on the center of the table.
"Most of the WorldHeart's functions are mandatory, But I imagine you needed to relax after that battle." Jaga said as the mechanical arm moved the teapot over to Panthro. "I prepared this herbal tea to sooth your tired souls."
"OW! HOT! HOT!" Panthro yelled when the tea was accidently spilt on his legs.
"Ah, that reminded me, the tea may be a little hot..." Jaga said slightly chuckling.
"You think?" Panthro growled towards the hologram.
"It's great to have you back, in whatever state you're now in, master." Cheetara said towards her mentor.
"Still, We have a certain problem." Koar said taking a sip from his tea. "TWO, certain problems actually."
"Mumm-ra and Kaos..." Hugo said as he brought in a plate of cookies and a bowl of sugar cubes, he set them down on the table. "Kaos is scary on his own, but after hearing the way Spyro described Mumm-ra's power..." Hugo then shuddered.
"There's no telling when they'll attack again..." Lion-o said looking into his cup. "And if Kaos launches his betrayal at this moment, he'll have the gauntlet of Plun-darr in his clutches..."
Koar got up.
"Master Koar?" Hugo asked as the portal master walked towards the window.
"Lion-o..." Koar began before turning towards the group. "I think it's time..."
"Time? Time for what?" Lion-o asked the Portal Master.
"To bring the fight to Mumm-ra."
To be continued, please review.
