Chapter 16: Source Of Life

HOURS LATER

ARRIVING AT CASTLE BLACKTHRONE

The scene opens up where the Airship piloted by Flynn was approaching the new HQ of the Skylanders. But something was seemingly wrong with the Mabu pilot…?

"Pant….pant….attention all passengers! This is….pant…your Captain Speaking…Pant…pant…" Flynn was heard while deep breathing from feeling a strange exhaustion as he wiped sweat off his forehead. "We'll arrive at HQ in a few…moments…gasp…cough-cough…." He gasped & coughed as if not feeling so hot.

"Flynn, are you okay?" Unity asked in noticing that the Mabu did not look his best.

"Ehh, maybe I'm just out of breath from piloting too much?" Flynn shrug off to sheepishly say while showing he hasn't any idea what's wrong.

"Hey fellas!" Mags voice was heard from an open window at the fortress. "Get inside, hurry now!" She issued off for those to get in & not delay.

Wasting no time, Flynn had to park his airship vessel closer to the castle fortress. Once everyone got inside, Flynn started to feel a bit better for unknown reasons. And that's when meeting everyone that waited for them had serious looks.

"Well it's about time you got here. There's a new problem on the arisen!" Sharpkin remarked off in pointing out a new problem that just rear it's ugly head.

"What's the problem? No, let me guess…Kaos, right?" Unity was about to say until she stopped to remotely state who the problem causer is most likely to be…

"Right, Master Eon just felt something happening just moments ago." Cali stated in sounding serious of what is happening as she speaks.

"All over Skyland, the Life Magic Force is being drain, if nothing is done it will bring dire consequences." Master Eon issued forth to proclaim how sternly serious this next crisis was.

"Yes, for instant, without natural green plant life for clean air, the breathing for many could become harmful. As I'm sure you no doubtly saw signs?" The Brain issued off to roll his eye in commanding about the topic that for many, they need to breath & without clean air, one will suffocate.

"We just got this place running to provide protection so we can breath easy. But I'm worried that we might lose it and all suffocate?" Hugo exclaimed in fearing this isn't enough, if anything goes wrong, they won't have any air to breath.

"But luckily, we managed to learn where the cause is happening. And it isn't hard to miss." Buzz proclaimed with a sly smile to assure those here, they found where the problem occurred from.

"When me and Whiskers were flying nearby, we spotted a weird tree that grew into a GIANT Tree over the pass few days! The Biggest thing in all of Skylands!" Tessa issued off in having mentioned this that really caught everyone off guard.

"I don't remember there existing a tree so big that it's not relating to most over plant & nature islands. But the real problem Master Eon told me, is that it's slowly harming the Core Of Light as well as all parts of Skylands." King Vision firmly mentions this as a serious case that if nothing is done, all of them will not see another tomorrow.

"So let me guess, the only ones that can approach it are Life Element type of beings. Then I'll get to work straight away!" Unity signed in knowing she has a lot of work to be doing here; & that means making more Imaginators.

Unity had to quickly gather some Imaginate Crystals, & begin creating a new group to help on the next destination: hopefully they have enough time to make it…


MEANWHILE

AT KAOS' NEW EVIL HQ

The scene returns to the Skylands Academy, where as Glumshanks was bringing a tray of food for his master. But when he saw Kaos, he seem to be pouting as he taps his hands on his thrown with an impatient look.

"Hmmm…." Kaos narrow his eyes in looking like they will pop out from his growling grit teeth: he looks angry.

"Lord Kaos, is everything well?" Glumshanks asked in having a bad feeling in what he sees.

"Oh let's see…I just been told by Smythe, that the Sky-Losers have thrown a large Wretch in my EVIL Plan to build my army with an UNSTOPPABLE GIANT ROBOT ARMY!?" Kaos remarked to say before angrily protesting how his plans for having a large giant robot army was stopped; again!

"Oh, that bad hugh?" Glumshanks slightly yelped in seeing how upset Kaos was about this.

"Yes, now no doubt those FOOLS will try to interfere again like the little meddlers that they are!" Kaos issued off in knowing precisely what the heroes are gonna do. "But lucky for me, I'm ahead of them. Thanks to my efforts, my Greatest work is almost ready!" He proclaimed to mention this as he has a secret plan…

"But aren't you still upset that the new Imaginator Unity has been foiling your precious plans so far?" Glumshanks pointed out that from one Skylander, Unity kept ruining Kaos other plans.

"Yes, thank you for reminding me of something I tried to forget that made me ANGRY!" Kaos had a frown look in apparently wishing not to be reminded of his previous failures thanks to one new hero. "But no matter, I've just about completed my work with the Undead Element, but the Life Element has been the REAL Source of power I wanted to keep those FOOLS away as long as possible!" He boasted to proclaim this as he had a diabolical plan that involved the use of a major source of power.

"Forgive me for asking Lord Kaos, but one was one element suppose to be more important then the others that you unleashed chaos all over the Skylands?"

"It's true that I had an evil motive for the others. Fire to Burn Them, Water to Drown Them, Wind to Knock Them Away, Earth to Crush Them, even Depleting their Magic or Making their Tech useless against my own forces. But those were just the beginning!" Kaos went off to mention this as all that happened were nothing but small starters for the real task mission at hand.

"Of your Overly Complicated Plan, I assume?" Glumshanks simply stated in having to guess what Kaos was trying to say.

"Precisely! You been keeping up haven't you Glumshanks." Kaos smiled in sounding pleased that the troll was able to follow along. "Thanks to a good benefactor of ours, the seed has grown and soon the fruit of my labor will be ready. And sweet victory will be MINE!" He issued in having announced something that shall benefit him thanks to those that provided him the tools to victory.

"Exactly what kind of seed did you receive?" Glumshanks asked in not understanding what Kaos was referring to.

"The Seed for the Tree Of Might!" A voice was heard as a strange shadowy being slipped through the darkness.

"Hugh!?" Glumshanks yelped from the sudden arrival of a certain Doomlander of shadows appeared: Shadow Demon.

"Ah, Shadow Demon…so good of you to join us." Kaos smiled with a cocky grin to see who show up.

"Yes, well I bring news…it seems you been struggling lately. If the results aren't better, 'he' may have to give you more help then needed…" Shadow Demon issued off to mention this as a means of letting the Dark Portal Master understand things.

"Oh they will be!" Kaos issued to say that the next results, will be far better.

"Very well then, I suppose I can observe & see what plays out…" After having said this, Shadow Demon disappears back into the shadows…

"Good, then what I have plan, will be a stroke of genius!" Kaos smiled off in still boasting about such matters.

"One can only hope in this case?" Glumshanks signed to shake his head in having heard Kaos say that so many times before…

"Don't worry, I got this breathing mask over my mouth." Flynn proclaimed to show off the breathing visor mask he's got on his mouth. "A shame to cover it up to deny the world a chance to see a handsome face with a dazzling smile." He issued to say in knowing that to conceal his good looks, is a real shame.

"What do you see?" Unity came up to see what got the Mabu's attention.

"That tree thing you were talking about. Course, I was expecting it to be bigger?" Flynn stated in noticing where they are heading, it looks like the target's grown plant is not as big as they believed.

"Ugh, Flynn…aren't we several miles away?" Unity asked something in having realized their distance until they arrive at the destination.

"Woah….that's…pretty big? Wonder if the fruit are the size of a ship or even a house?" Flynn replied off in thinking if that was true, then what size was the fruit compared to a gigantic tree.
