Chapter 53: Before the Storm...


"I can't believe I said that..." Koar said with his face in his hands, although his suggestion was very dynamic; He just popped the idea of mounting a full frontal assault on Mumm-ra right out of the air.

Cheetara and Panthro watched the Portal Master regret from across the table. "This is probably the first time I've seen him like this..." Cheetara added as Panthro nodded.

"I wouldn't worry about Mumm-ra, Koar..." Flynn said walking up to him and slapping him in the back. "Cheer up! You got the Skylanders to help you and Lion-o out!"

"Not to mention all the troops we captured, Mumm-ra's probably on his last legs..." Panthro added gruffly. "Now would be a good time for an attack..."

"...Oh! That reminds me." Koar looked at Cheetara. "How's the progress on those defected lizards?"

"The lizards that had wanted to be free of Mumm-ra's allegiance were taken to WoodBurrow for rehabilitation in working..." Cheetara explained. The dragboar calming down as she spoke. "The Skylanders that went to Woodburrow to keep an eye on them sent a report saying: "No outbreaks or riots yet, But upon hearing from Salamandar on what Kaos did to him, became very worried that Kaos might have powers that could surpass Mumm-ra..." That's what they wrote in the letter..." Kit, Kat, and Snarf walked into the room as Cheetara finished. "Tree Rex and his team can handle the lizards at Woodburrow, we need to focus on Mumm-ra..."

"...And Lion-o?" Koar asked noticing the absence of the king.

"Spyro's taking him and Tygra to see Persephone. The fairy that lives next to the academy." Kit said to Koar as her brother followed.

"So...What's so special about her...?" Kat asked. "Who is she?"

"Persephone is a fairy who had helped the Skylanders for many years." Koar explained. At the mention of the word "Fairy" The twins eyes gleamed.

"A fairy! Does she grant wishes? Does she turn princes into frogs?" Kit asked excitedly as Koar chuckled.

"Well, no...But she has another talent that may prove useful to the ThunderCats..." Koar started before continuing. "She can convert gold and other treasures into magic, giving Skylanders new powers."

"That's...Actually very useful..." Cheetara said thinking. "The only treasure we're carrying are Thundarrian coins, and those are worthless ever since Thundarra fell."

"Treasure, coins, Whatever." Koar said twirling his finger around. "Money is just money, but it's what inside that counts...Even if the money is no good anywhere else on Third Earth, It MIGHT be worth something in Skylands..." He then looked at the cats confuse looks. "We have a treasure barter system in Skylands, the biggest jewel for the biggest sword. Any type of money is useable here, as long as it's made of real metal, crystal, and gold."

"But... isn't the metal the coins are made of from Third Earth...?" Kat said before Koar snickered.

"And that's what makes them valuable..." Koar replied with a sly grin, confusing the two.


Lion-o and his brother followed after the purple dragon towards the tree house that was planted just outside of the academy. "I'm surprise you didn't introduce us to this Persephone sooner." Tygra said to the purple dragon as they walked through the garden. Purple tulips were planting along the pathway.

"Well, with all that was happening lately, and the fact Persephone was on a recent vacation to The festival of flowers..." Spyro replied as he turned his head towards the two. "It wasn't a good time for introductions...But, she just got back from her trip and she may help us out-Woah!" Spyro was interrupted when a red blur flew by him, knocking him off his feet.

"Oh, Shoot!" Suddenly the blur that hit him flew back and stop before the three. A young fairy was floating before her, her legs were a wispy tail, she wore violet clothing and had red messy, short hair. "I'm sorry, Spyro. Didn't see you standing there, but to be honest you are the same color as the tulips..." She said gesturing to the patch of purple flowers.

"Good to see you too, Calliope..." Spyro said shaking himself from the impact. "Running some errands around town?"

"Yes, When I heard about the attack, I came rushing back here as fast as I can." Calliope said before adding. "I'm making some deliveries, the mail Gossipbird broke his wing yesterday, So I'm delivering a few packages in his place." Spyro chuckled before turning towards the two.

"Guys, this is Calliope, She's a friend of me, Cynder and Master Koar." He said gesturing towards the fairy, who waved nervously at the two.

"Well...I wasn't a "Good" Friend a year ago..." She replied, the two felines gave a confuse look.

"What do you mean?" Lion-o asked as the two before Spyro and Calliope exchanged nervous looks.

"A year ago, Calliope was tricked by Malefor to steal me, Cynder, and Hex's powers, In exchange for finding her missing family." Spyro replied with a grim tone as Calliope hovered with a look of regret. "He nearly wiped out all the Skylanders, but if it wasn't for the efforts of Persephone and Calliope. I wouldn't been able to destroy that crystal that held all the Skylanders powers..."

"Woah..." The two brothers said at the same time.

"Yeah..." Spyro shook his head before continuing. "Even without the power he stole from the Skylanders, He still wouldn't stop fighting...So we tied his tail to an anchor and sent him towards the very bottom of Skylands..." He quickly finish that part as the two brothers gave a surprise look. "Ever since then, Calliope really started to change her ways."

"Yeah, I wished I didn't listen to that slimy serpent, It took months to rebuild the academy..." Calliope added. Spyro then looked towards her.

"Did that information Koar gave you helped?" Spyro asked the fairy, she sighed.

"It got me close...but not close enough...My family is still out there somewhere..." Calliope replied. "I still feel horrible for what I did..."

"Hey, your improving now. The reason why you worked with Malefor was because you grew up alone...You didn't even know how to find your family to began with..." Spyro said reassuring.

"I know how you feel..." Tygra said looking at his whip and clutching it.

"Ah, Shoot!" Calliope suddenly fluttered upwards. "I need to get the rest of these deliveries done or I'll get an earful!" She then zipped away towards the town. "She you later!"

"See-ya, Calliope!" Spyro called waving. He then started to show a concern look.

"What's wrong?" Lion-o asked the dragon.

"...Before we defeated Malefor, He started talking as if he knew me sometime before...And that was the first time I've even met him..." Spyro then shook his head. "Eon and Koar had been keeping me distracted ever since then...Trying to keep me from thinking about it too much...But it still bothers me sometimes..." He the shook again before turning towards the two. "Come on, Persephone's waiting for us!"

Spyro led the two to the door that was built into the trunk of the tree and gave it a few knocks, They heard a fluttering sound before one of the windows on the side opened and a blue haired fairy wearing a red tunic fluttered out to greet the two. "Hello, You must be the Thundercats!, Koar was speaking very fond of you in his letters; It's an honor to meet such famous heroes! Your practically know throughout Skylands ever since you started to work alongside the Skylanders...Does that mean that...You yourselves are Skylanders now?" She said looking at the two new felines.

"...We're still deciding...But..." Lion-o said rubbing the back of his head. "Hopefully, when Mumm-ra's been dealt with, we'll have time to make a decision...I'm Lion-o, Lord of the ThunderCats...And this is my brother Tygra." He then gestured to the cat behind him.

"Oh, Salutations! It is an honor to have another royal here at the academy!" Persephone sung spinning in place.

"Wait, Hold up?" Tygra said after hearing that. "Another Royal?"

"Some of the other Skylanders were of royal blood, but chose to be Skylanders to protect their kingdoms." Spyro said to the two. He then turned to Persephone. "These two could use some upgrades."

"Very well, Did you happen to bring any treasure? I accept gold, jewels or other precious metals." Persephone explained modestly.

"I have these old Thundarrian coins..." Lion-o said handing a bag to the fairy. "They're worthless ever since Thundarra fell though..."

Persephone then reached into the bag and pulled out a metal coin with a hole in the center and began to study it. "Hmhm...Very interesting, oh yes..." She then turned to the two. "The metal in these coins are very rare in skylands, Each of these coins is worth as much as a ruby."

"Really? The metal was found when Thundarra was first being built." Tygra explained to the fairy.

"The metal may be common on your world, but it's very rare in ours, the metal has a very reflective property that can amplify magic." Persephone said looking at the coin. "We call it Arcanite in Skylands..."

"We been calling it "Shine Stone" in ours." Lion-o joked, Tygra just facepalmed at that.

"With this, I can convert it into very strong magic for you gear." The fairy said before putting the coin into the bag. She looked at the two, before saying: "Are you ready?"

Lion-o then looked at his brother, who nodded. "Hit us with all you got, Persephone." He said to her.

Persephone then nodded before closing her eyes, the bag then opened as it empty its contents. The coins floated into the air before bursting into blue dust, The dust then gathered into Persephone's hands, she then lifted up the ball of glowing dust to her face before blowing it towards the two brothers. The dust then started to merge with Lion-o's and Tygra's bodies, As the magic settled, Lion-o and Tygra then looked at each other.

"Huh, I don't feel different." Lion-o said looking at his arms.

"The upgrade I gave you was for the Sword Of Omens. I gave it the power to fire concentrated blasts of magic electricity." Persephone then looked towards Tygra. "I've also upgraded the cloaking device that's built into your armor, Not only can you stay invisible for a longer time, you'll also be able to phase through grates and enemies. Just make sure you're not phasing through anything when the cloak is about to turn off, I heard It can be quite unpleasant..."

Tygra then pressed the button on his wrist guard, causing him to fade away, He then reappeared again. "You really do know how to make a man happy, Persephone." Tygra commented.

"Thanks, Persephone." Lion-o said to the fairy. "I can't wait to try it out on Mumm-ra and his generals."

"We should head back, Koar and Eon should come up with a plan by now..." Spyro said before walking towards the garden's exit. The two followed after the dragon as Persephone waved goodbye.


The three walked in on the others as they were studying a map of Mumm-ra's pyramid that Panthro managed to draw up, using memory of the last time he was in there.

"Wow, Panthro, I had no idea you were a good architect." Cali said looking at the map.

"Cali's right...These drawings are very on the mark." Cheetara said looking at the map.

"Thanks, But I've only managed to memorized Mumm-ra's chamber, along with the rooms we been in." Panthro said stepping back. "We still have no knowledge of the rooms that might be used for troops and storage." Lion-o then studied the map and started to stare at the blank spots on the map.

"Wait, The Book of Omens recorded the inside of Mumm-ra's fortress!" Lion-o exclaimed. "Maybe it can give us a better idea of the room placement."

Mags thought for a moment before walking over to a nearby computer. "What are you doing?" Koar asked the mechanic.

"Well...Jaga was downloaded, along with the contents of the Book of Omens..." Mags then typed in a few commands before various schematics started to appear on screen. "It should be right...Here!"

Suddenly, a complete blueprint appeared on screen of the Pyramid's room placement. "The blueprints are a few hundred years old, But it's better then memory." Mags said to the group.

"Uh, Mags?" Pop Fizz started as he looked at the screen. "This is a diamond, Not a pyramid."

"That's because the bottom half of the fortress has been gobbled by sand." Mags explained. "I bet Mumm-ra doesn't even know that the rooms still exist."

"Koar, can you teleport us inside Mumm-ra's fortress?" Cheetara asked the Portal Master.

"Tried it once, No good." Koar said shaking his head. "I can't open portals where there's a lot of evil interference, The Ancient Spirits of Evil will most likely block my power inside the pyramid." Koar then pointed upwards with a smile. "I CAN however create a private channel that's linked to the Gauntlet of Omens, If Lion-o's inside, I can perform a Portal override and bypass the Spirits of Evil's spell."

"So, all we have to do is come up with a plan..." Tygra said thinking.

"Alright, team!" Buzz yelled as he was suddenly behind Tygra.

"WHISKERS! WEAR A BELL, BUZZ!" Tygra yelled out gripping his chest, having been scared to the point of death.

"Team," Buzz said standing straight. "It's time to discuss the plan for: Operation: Take Back!"
