Here's the next chapter, enjoy…
Chapter 18: Undead Rising!
MEANWHILE AT KAOS' LOCATION
The scene opens to where Kaos was given some message from his magical mirror within his base. And every word made the bald guy grin the ever more until the signal faded to show a map with a blinking dot.
"At last! It's Here! IT'S FINALLY HERE!" Kaos was heard making loud cheers without warning.
"Is your new Evil Genius Catalog arrived in the mail Lord Kaos, I know you been waiting for months since you refused to pay your postal services…" Glumshanks was asking in thinking maybe Kaos got something in the mail when…
"No Glummy, but thanks for reminding me to DESTROY the Postal Service for DENYING what is MINE, KAOS, Latest Copy of his Catalog!" Kaos exclaimed to say while muttering grit teeth of remorse for those that deny him his rights. "But no, I'm pleased because at long last…we found out where those Sky Fools have been hiding!" He proclaimed in which he can learn the location of his prime enemy targets.
"Really?" Glumshanks asked a bit surprised to hear they found the Skylanders new base.
"Yes, & it's somewhere in a remote place that has eluded by Doomlanders from finding!" Kaos points to a holographic image that revealed where the Skylanders were hiding.
"Oh my sir, that's where your old fortress Castle Blackthorne went down during your 1st final battle conflict?" Glumshanks stated in recognizing the location & what was there in that site.
"How DARE They! Nobody uses MY Old things without asking ME, KAOS! My PERMISSION!" Kaos snapped out loud in looking so angry, he's about to explode in rage. "Attention All Undead Doomlanders! Assemble yourselves, it's time to wipe out the Sky Losers!" He suddenly activated a com-link to announce orders…for an attack on the Skylanders.
"Wait…sir…your sending in…ALL Of your Undead Doomlanders?" Glumshanks yelps in thinking this was a rushing things a bit too fast.
"Make no mistake Glumshanks…those that use what was Mine, shall pay the price!" Kaos proclaimed forth in stating things as his own way of getting revenge.
"Well it's just, you made so many, aren't you going a little…overboard?" Glumshanks asked in thinking there was no reason to send in everyone.
"All's Fair In Love & War Glummy, & for me…only Chaos will remain!" Kaos smirked evilly in how he wants to do things just like that.
The camera zooms away as Kaos was still laughing evilly as the next event, will leave the Skylanders shock at what he will unleash…
LATER ON
AT THE SKYLANDERS BASE
After much time had passed, Unity's group return to Castle Blackthrone where they filled in everything that went down in stopping the Tree Of Might & what Kaos was plotting.
"My word, to think Kaos had somehow gain the Seed Of Might to plant it & it grew into the Tree Of Might. This is all so puzzling?" Brain stated in having heard this to be very shocked about what those here have experienced.
"It's a little over the top even for Kaos! How in blazes did the guy even get such a thing?" Sharpkin asked in thinking this was more then what Kaos usual does in his actions.
"The knowledge has been lost for nearly eons, but not many worlds endure it. The Tree Of Might can only grow on worlds with much life, but if it runs dry, our world would have become desoluated." Master Eon explaiend the dire threat of what happens if the Tree Of Might became so involved, their world…might not have survived.
"Sounds to me like we almost lost, we gotta find Kaos & put a stop to this!" Cali stated in thinking they need to stop Kaos before he does anything else that puts their world endanger.
"Yeah! We already built up a lot of new Skylanders! Lets take the fight to him, KaBLAM!" Tessa issued off with a cheery expression; raring to get going.
"Now hold them horses, little missy. We gotta reorganize everything. Not to mention, is this fortress even up & running?" Buzz interrupted to say this in having to know; they can't jump into things without being fully prepared.
"Well about that, I got good news & bad news." Mags stated in having something to report about the fortress's current state. "Good news, everything is just about running as smooth as can be. It'll be like she never fell in battle." She smiled in stating all things in this fortress are running.
"Well that's great…but…what's the bad news then?" Flynn replied off before pondering the next question that leaves some stump.
"Unfortunately, the engines to help this place float is shot. We need more time to repair & replace some things." Mags scratch her back head to sheepishly point out a problem.
"Well we got time before anything weird happens, right?" Unity smiled in trying to look on the bright side of things when…
"EMERGENCY!" Hugo was heard screaming as he entered the room exhausted.
"Hugo, what's the matter?" Master King Vision asked in seeing the Mabu completely out of breath.
"Pant…pant….There's a WHOLE Army…Pant…Of Doomlanders…Pant…Just Outside!" Hugo panted a few times before stating this with worry of what he just saw.
"What!?" Master Eon yelped at the idea as everyone had the same worried expression.
Everyone that could move gazed outside of the frotress' windows, & saw a massive shadowy formation of many different Doomlanders on the move.
"How in Skylands did they find our location?" Cali asked in not knowing how the enemy found out where they been hiding.
"I know, right? It's like in one of those spy movies where someone lead them here OR….they been tracking us?" Flynn scratch his chin to slyly ponder a guess in how the enemy found them.
"Blimmey! Looks like having thrown a monkey-wretch or two finally got Kaos so upset that he sent in one huge army to come take us out!?" Sharpkin gasped in seeing the size of that army is outrageous.
"Judging by the auras they emit, they apparently are Undead types. This will be hard considering the undead can withstand things more times then those of the living." Brain issued to say in having to determine what opponents they got, not the easy ones that go down that's for sure.
"Well if that's the way they are gonna play it, then we'll fight fire with fire! But I'm gonna need some time…" Unity issued off in seeing that she will need time to prepare some new Imaginators to fight these odds.
"Are the fortress' defenses functioning right now that we can buy some time?" Master King Vision asked a good question about what can buy them some time.
"Yeppers! That should buy us some time & maybe with a little more, we can get this thing up in the air & scatter ourselves out of here!" Mags issued off to say in seeing what she can do might just turn the tide if they last long enough.
"Alright Troops, if Kaos wants a battle…lets show him what we're made of!" Buzz announced forth in trying to encourage those here.
"Oh Yeah!" Tessa cheered in liking the sounds of that.

"And you viewers out there, I know you'll enjoy it. Cause the author finally got me this gig! So lets get ready to spice things up, shall we?" Then he broke the 4th Wall in stating this off to the reader viewers without warning. "Hey, Mr. Author, careful how you make those details describe me…I have a sensitive side, you know?" The guy broke the 4th Wall again to say with a pouty tone.
"Attention Sky-Losers!" Then something appeared in the sky, it was Kaos except in a more spiritual form & just his head: lets call it Kaos' Spirit Head. "Either you surrender & leave my old fortress alone….OR We DESTROY YOU ALL!" He announced that those opposing him surrender, or be destroyed in defiance. "Personally, I'm hoping for the later…HAH-Hahahahaaaahh…" He lets off an evil laughter in hoping to destroy the fools.
Without warning, Castle Blackthrone had revealed it's hidden weaponry system & began to unleash a volley of attacks. Several explosions caused a few standby Doomlanders to yelp out & cry from the painful impacts.
"So they gone with the hard way….UNDEAD DOOMLANDERS!" Kaos' spirit head responded slyly before instructing those nearby. "You know what to do…" He proclaimed with an evil smirk in telling those what should be done.
Suddenly the massive army of Undead Doomlanders made loud battle cries to charge recklessly towards the fortress. Several explosives happen on the battlefield & many impacts against the fortress, & those watching from within the castle saw how things were going.
"Dang! Them fellas really are just charging without a second thought?" Mags exclaimed in what they were seeing, a simple charging in without a plan tactic.
"Boom-Sticks! We gotta get what little forces we have to really shake things up if they keep coming like drones!" Buzz stab his wooden cane on the ground in protesting the manner of how things were progressing.
"Right you are old man, my boys have trick out the weapons, now lets try other nice new features." Sharpfin smiled slyly in thinking they keep trying new things to hold the line.
While the battle rages on, somewhere in the castle fort we see those waiting for someone to come out of the doors to a chamber. And finally who should come out but Unity, except she seem to look a little spent.
"Unity….are you done? Is everything okay?" Cali asked as she went to help Unity up, she hasn't had much time to rest & now had to make more Imaginators on the clock.
"Pant…pant….yeah with the last of our Imaginate Crystals." Unity panted a bit from feeling spent. "Anyway, here are those I managed." She stated to move aside to begin the intro.
That's when some new faces came out of the chamber for everyone to bare witness some new Undead Imaginators coming onto the spot.
The 1st was an Undead Doe with dark grey fur skin, tan grey/blue color hair, & dark tan magenta color eyes, & had on tan dark grey/blue, violet, & blue theme outfit & gear.

He had a Wolf Head, had a Wolf Chest, Wolf Arms, Wolfgang Legs, & a Wolf Tail.

"You can call me Wolfarrow, I maybe kind of old, & smelly, but I still got a good aim on my soulder." The Undead Bowslinger Imaginator issued off to state about himself, bad & good alike.
The 3rd was a Mummy species with dark grey skin, blank white eyes, & had on tan light-blue/grey along with dark grey & pink color outfit & gear.

"Ha-ha Hey now! Curse Pharaoh is here, so you better be ready to watch me pull off some moves!" The Undead Sorcerer spoke forth with a guy getting jiggy with it with a bright up-beat persona.
The 4th was a Vampire who had dark grey skin, dark tan turquoise hair, & yellow eyes, & had on a dark tan blue, tan light turquoise/grey outfit & gear. He had a Nightwalker form of head, Supersonic Ears, had on a Vampire Chest, Gothic Arms, & Tuxedo Legs. His accessories were Gargoyle Horns, Bird Pauldrons, Spider Arm Armor, Batty Greaves, & wore a Gothic Cape on his backside. He wields the Bat Ray Zappers for long distance shooting combat.
"I, am Batshot, when you look into my eyes, you'll drop your guard before realizing, you been shot!" The Undead Quickshot Imaginator spoke off with a Transylvania accent & acted like a count sort of person.
The 5th & last one was a Drow species with with light blue skin, white-grey hair, & turquoise color eyes, & had on light purple, dark purple, & silver color theme outfit & gear. He had a Soldier Head frame, Rounded Ears, had on a Desert King Chest, Double Belt Arms, & Caveman Legs. His accessories were Hair Spikes, Doomed Dome Shoulder Armor, Axeblade Arm Guards, Knight Leg Armor, & had on a Skelesaurus Spine on his backside. He wields The Shriek as his basic smashing close melee weapon.
"Hi there, Rokgut, I know I don't look as scary as the others, but…well…I'm good at being scary when I'm motivated." The Undead Smasher Imaginator exclaimed to say with a bit of a sheepish front while being honest.
Now all of the Undead Imaginators were present & accounted for. But strangely, the low number that was made seem to catch some a bit off guard because…they thought there be more?
"Um Miss. Unity, I hate to be the barer of bad news, but…" Hugo started to say in feeling a bit hesitated until… "You only made 5 Imaginators, & there's a Whole Army outside!?" Even he knew that 5 agaisnt an army sounds like impossible odds.
"Sorry, but I could only make so few Undead, especially since we're short on Imaginate Crystals." Unity sheepishly apologize that there was not enough crystals to go around to make more Skylanders.
"Short! But, weren't we loaded?" Hugo aked in a panic in thinking they should have more Imaginate Crystals to make more Imaginators.
"Calm down Hugo, if we're short then we need a way to get more. But where?" Cali calm her friend down while trying to think up an answer.
"Too bad we can't just go over & borrow a few crystals from Kaos' bunch cause he keeps making more of them fellas." Flynn shrug off to simply state something that without knowing it, caught someone's attention.
"Flynn, that's it! We can get our Undead to mix in with Kaos' own, & have them swipe a few Imaginate Crystals." Tessa smiled off to proclaim a plan that is gonna get them out of a tight spot.
"It's a tall order, Kaos maybe careless, but if he were to notice those he didn't create within his army…" Cali started to say in thinking the risk was too great.
"Have faith in your friends, just as I have faith in what Unity may have in mind." King Vision proclaimed in being nearby to think it's a risk they have to take if they believe in their friends.
"Thank you master…" Unity humbly bow to thank her master for the encouraging words. "Alright, this mission will be difficult, are you guys ready?" She issued to say this to her Undead Skylander friends.
"To boldly try to blend in as the only vampire, werewolf, mummy, drow & an undead doe against an army of Doomlanders. Oh yes, we're VERRRY excited to go?" Batshot was rolling his eyes as he remarked every word of his.
"Come on now Batshot, you're eager to go. You just don't wanna show it." Midnight Doe smiled off to eagerly elbow the guy to not be so negative, they all know what he's thinking.
"You do realize they have not just an army, but GIANTS over there, right? They could crush us if they notice anything out of the ordinary." Wolfarrow pointed off in knowing it's not just numbers, the Giant Doomlanders look like bad news.
"You mean besides your smell, don't worry…all them undeads smell TERRIBLE! We'll blend right in." Curse Pharaoh issued off to make a light joke as he was brightening the mood.
"Don't worry about us, we handled how to assemble us, so…just leave the rough stuff for us to settle." Rokgut spoke off to sound a bit more optimistic about things as they will handle it.
"Thanks." Unity thanks this group of brave Imaginators for offering to perform this gamble. "Okay, then lets start Operation: Blend In!" Unity nodded her head with a confident smile.
The scene began to fad out as a new plan was in motion. Hopefully it will either get the Skylanders out of this mess or, well lets not go too far deep in the thought just yet…
