Chapter 25: Real Threat On The Move!
LOCATION: SKYLANDERS ACADEMY
The scene opens to Skylanders Academy, where it's being clean of so much mess left by Kaos & his Doomlanders. Heck, there was even some 'evil' stuff that needed to be cleared off written & more. Many were beginning to feel like the academy could return to it's old self any day now. And at this moment, we spot Unity who after having some hours of rest, was fully recovered. And she was seen talking to a few friends while they were finishing on unpacking, etc.
"Ah…camping trip?" Unity raised an eyebrow in being offered something that was not a task to fight.
"Yeah, I just talked to those cool looking Mabus, & they agree that we should go camping to take our minds of things." Flynn pointed off with a smile to Bling, Colonel, & Captain Bam who were banging hammers to fix things about what the Flynn looking guys talk about.
"I like Flynn's idea! Now that Kaos has been defeated, things will be going back to normal soon." Tessa smiled off with excitement in liking a little R&R.
"Maybe, but there's still a lot of damage to cover up from when that boy went off & caused trouble." Buzz remarked off in having know what Kaos left them is a big mess to fix.
"No worries, the New Skylanders that Unity made are covering up to repair all the damage & catching any loose leftover Doomlanders that escaped when we retook the academy." Cali smiled in explaining how things are being covered in what others are doing as they speak.
"But what about those other voices in my head that are ponies from another world?" Unity asked in knowing she still has the elemental energy sources which in truth, are living ponies from Equestria: The Mane Six.
"No sweat! Master Eon & the Brain are talking it over with King Vision. Once the barrier separating the Earth & dat prison realm where de rest of them Skylanders are trap in are weak enough ta breach with Kaos no longer calling de shots, it'll be easy." Mags smiled off to state this as a means of when things are settled, they can not only get King Vision back to his world: Earth, but return the ponies as spirits in Unity back to their world: Equestria Prime.
"Well, I suppose I could like to just relax…I been working overtime so much, I might need a vacation?" Unity commented in thinking maybe she has been working too hard, maybe a break from all the fighting could be good.
"Then it's settle then! Hey fellas! Time to pack things up!" Flynn issued off to say before signaling those nearby of an answer response.
"Alright! CAMPING TRIP!" The Flynn Brigade cheered off loudly in liking that plan very much.
"Oh boy, dealing with one Flynn is bad enough, now 4?" Hugo signed to slap his forehead; he can tell handling 1 Flynn is hard, but 4 is almost impossible to imagine.
"Oh it's not only them Whiskers is coming too." Tessa smiled to pet her bird in knowing someone else will tag along.
"And we can do some training while camping. Heh, it'll remind me of the old days of training my Mabu Command Force?" Buzz smiled off to think how such a little trip might be good & they can do some training practice good for the body.
"Come on, lets hit the road before we get delay anymore." Cali stated to say that they better hurry if they wanna partake soon.
"Ohh, I'll tag along too. Sharpfin & his pals can handle de rest." Mags smiled off in sounding excited to not miss any of this.
Now we see everyone boarding Flynn's Airship as it was soon taking off to take them to a place where they can enjoy some peace & quiet time. And watching them leave from a room was Sharpfin as he was hanging with the holo-projector showing The Brain & Master Eon.
"Heh, well there they go…those crazy folks just couldn't wait to leave all the remaining work to me & my boys." Sharpfin smiled off to comment in seeing those leaving to have the time of their lives while everyone else works.
"Oh please, it'll be with my supervision that we can hurry things along." Brain issued off to remind those that he's the brains of the operation.
"Excuse me…am I interrupting something?" Then King Vision was seen entering to speak towards Brain & Master Eon.
"Not at all Young Portal Master, I assume you have rested. You played an important part in sending many Skylanders to help with the repairs all over the Skylands." Master Eon smiled to state this for a job well done for someone that helped them out.
"I have, but I wanted to show you something." King Vision stated before revealing something: an un-active shard. "After Unity fought Kaos, this was left on the battle site. I tried to find any records of it, but there doesn't appear to be anything like it? The magic within has just…cease to be there?" He explained the puzzling evidence of what he found that can't be answered it seems.
"Hmmm…perhaps I can be of assistance? After all, I AM an Ancient One & I have knowledge of so many things." Brain narrows his eye to study the shard before suggesting what he can do.
Then as The Brain uses his telekinetic powers to use a magic aura on the shard; it gave him a strange response reaction.
"Oh my…this shard is indeed not from our world?" The Brain exclaimed with a very firm & serious expression. "In fact, just sensing it has brought back a memory I long forgotten?" He stated in what he did get, was a memory he had long forgotten.
"A memory, I thought with your big brain, you never forget?" Sharpfin raised an eyebrow to remark about a brain creature easily forgetting stuff.
"Well it was a long time ago, but more or less it involves the Rare Imaginate Crystals…& what happen to them. As well as how a group organization called: The Demon Force, is involved?" The Brain explained that what he remembers, ties in with some other things they have lack of intel on.
"Yes, they were the ones who aided Kaos…" Master Eon firmly nods in knowing the Demon Force were those aiding Kaos; but why…
"It's more then that I'm afraid." Brain shook his head to state how there was more to the story.
"What do you mean?" King Vision asked in liking more answers.
"Well I can explain the long term of it, or give you something to show. So I'll do a big of both if everyone allows me access to their minds." The Brain issued off to say that he can explain & show everyone at the same time if they link their minds.
Everyone didn't argue, as they shut their eyes before something began to happen when The Brain started to use his powers to link them together.
"This is a tale from long ago, most likely it's never mention in the history books. But it's connected to how the Darkness ravaged many worlds & what happen to a race of Imaginators…" The Brain's voice explains things as the scenery goes dark as something began to appear…
THE PAST
At this moment, the song 'Reminded' from Drowning Pool was heard in the background to build up the suspense. Everything was pitch black at this time before voices could be heard.
"The Darkness! We're Coming For You! You World Destroying Monster! It's Over!" A voice was heard issuing out a man with a revolution against a great enemy.
"Down With The Darkness!" There were more voices heard sounding like an army of soldiers at the time.
Then an Unknown species who had tan yellow skin cloth surface, & blue eyes, & had black, silver, red & green theme outfit & gear. He had a Hooded Mystery head frame, wore a Buckles & Belts, Shell Arms, & Deep Sea Legs. His accessories were Double Guard shoulder pads, Spike Bracelets, & Old Faithful Leg Armor. He wields a Laserblade as his melee weapon of choice.
"So says I, Sir Hoodington!" The Fire Knight Imaginator proclaimed forth with sheer will & determination. "You Lived Long Enough! Actually it's been Too long for my own sake!" He was making rebuking remarks that such an enemy has been around for too long & must be stopped.
The scene focuses on an enormous nigh-invulnerable, demonic, horned humanoid being with blacken neo-magenta feature markings & pink-magenta color eyes. This was The Darkness in the past, as it raise but one finger that shows a tiny purple sphere that seems harmless.
"The Darkness! Listen Up! We QUIT! All Of US!" Sir Hoodington snaps off in announcing this as many of the other Imaginator Warriors were trying to stand their ground as they were hovering/flying within space. "Got It! We Won't Work For You Anymore!" He announced forth that their wills to serve this foe ends today. "WE'RE FREE! You Can Find Someone Else To Do Your Dirty Work!" He yells out this message, all while an un-fazed Darkness just lifts a tiny little ball of purple energy. "Oh Yes…There's One Last Thing!" He summons forth a large surge of energy to be coated around his sword.
"The World that brought forth the Imaginators rose against the Darkness trying to create evil monster versions of themselves. They secretly deployed Imaginates to arrive in Skylands, & their final effort was the Rare Imaginate they launch during the revolution. For Sir Hoodington confronts The Darkness even if he stood alone against the unfavorable odds." The Brain narrates this portion of the story as scenes shows a pod carrying a valuable color Rainbow Imaginate Crystal through space.
"This Is For All Those Worlds We Force To Destroy In Your Name!" Sir Hoodington yelled forth in announcing he will have revenge for what The Darkness made them do. "HERE!...HAVE IT!/PUSHFruvhmmm…" Then with a mighty swing, unleashed a large sphere heading straight for the enemy.
"Hahahahah…WAAAHHH-HAHAHAHAAHHHh…" But The Darkness instead lets off a wide grin smile as the tiny purple sphere, began to grow.
"TRospvhmm…" At that moment, the last ditch effort of the Imaginator's attack was instead absorb by the enemy's ever growing sphere of darkness: dubbed – Dark Supernova!
"NO WAY!?" Sir Hoodington yelled forth with wide shock eyes, not believing what happened.
There was much panic among the other Imagiantor Warriors, as the Dark Supernova approaches them. Sir Hoodington felt the 1st full effect of the attack as it was slowly destroying piece by piece of his outfit & gear…
"As the World Of Imaginators was facing it's doom, on the side was another enemy that observes from afar." The Brain narrates as the scene shifts to reveal a Spaceship seeing a large sphere slowly impacting a planet: & within the space, those by a command room watch everything on the split monitors.
"That's The Guy right THERE: Sir Hoodington!" Dore's voice was heard with a rough gruffly tone in his voice to identity the perpetrator of a revolution.
"He doesn't look so frightening to me? Anyway, he pales in comparison to us!" Salza was heard remarking how such an opponent hardly seems like one to worry over. "And there goes the whole Imaginate Farm! Now This is Live Entertainment." He makes cruel remarks in watching as a whole planet of a world is about to be destroyed. "Hmm…what's this? Something is trying to getaway? Magnify the Image!" Then Salza noticed something on another screen monitor before ordering Neiz nearby to work on focusing.
"Right! I'm on it Salza!" Neiz responded as they change from a destroying planet to a single space pod flying through space.
"I want an Interior View as well!" Salza issued in what he wants next; as the monitors reveals a rainbow crystal aboard the pod.
"That's it! Got it!" Neiz issued in having done it, & now they are seeing what was on that concealing pod ship.
"Where does that pod think it's going with that crystal?" Salza remarked off in demanding to want answers here.
"It looks like the pod is taking the crystal to a planet world called: Skylands." Neiz looked at the navigation controls to determine where the pod was going. "Intercept course?" He turns to ask if they are intercepting the pod.
"Yes." Salza firmly issued for them to go after it: no Imaginate should escape their reach.
"Delay that order." Then another voice was heard in calmly declining the order to intercept: causing the crew to yelp.
"Sire!/Yes Sire!" Dore & Neiz bows on their kneels to respond obediently along with Salza when a hovering pod chair comes down.
"But…a crystal is escaping?" Salza issued out a problem & wanted to handle it.
"Kaossandra is in charge of that quadrant, let her clean up The Darkness' own mess?" The mysterious figure issued off about leaving such matters to others as he passes by Neiz. "I got 7 Worlds to Destroy by the End of the Day." He remarked off about his own busy schedule as he passed by Dore. "Why should I allow Myself to get behind schedule just to cover Anyone's mistake." He remarks off that he should not be bothered to handle other people's work load. "Besides…it's just a single crystal. It's no threat to us." As he stops besides Salza in comments that there is no threat from a single ordinary crystal. "Ahhh, look at him!? What Foolishness!...The Darkness is so pleased with himself & his arrogant pride in guiding others to the darkness." He remotely remarks in bear witnessing how the mightiest evil is letting un-rivial power to blind them. "That could be Kaossandra's unborn child on that space pod for all he knows." He remotely stated that if there was someone on that pod ship, The Darkness would not even be intrigued.
That's when the guy slowly turns around to reveal himself. A Demonic Race species with light purple & dark purple scale skin & white scale armor skin outfit & gear, & had red eyes. He had a Bug Shot frame head, Monster like eyes, had an Exoskeleton Chest, Bare Arms, Raptor Legs, & Raptor Tail. His accessories were Seashell Shoulders, Dragonscale Arm Guards, Centurion Leg Armor, & Skeletal Spine on the backside. He wields the Skullclap as his close combat melee weapons.
"There's a lot to learn, dear creators." The unknown Dark Brawler individual issued off with a cold attitude when he looked away. "Let's get out of here." He gave the order for this ship to leave the area as the monitors revealed the planet was exploding.
The scene shows the spaceship rotating to take off in another direction just as a bright flash occurred where the Imagiantor's World exploded into a supernova that flash within space. With that, everything began to faze out as the screen darkens. During that same time, the background music was reaching it's conclusion…
THE PRESENT
Everything returns to where everyone was at after the Brain's telepathic event of sharing a memory was over. But for many that opened their eyes, many had either remain calm, or showed caution, or concern in what they witness that was truly the evil actions of long ago.
"Dang! I knew Kaos was bad in handling him or any villain's scheme all over Skylands. But what I just saw makes me think those days were small potatoes." Sharpfin exclaimed from feeling almost out of breath, witnessing an evil that makes their villains, even Kaos, seem like chump change.
"I knew that when I banished Kaos it was because of the evil action he took. But I was never aware that what brought about the Imaginate Crystals to Skylands…was only after the acts of an evil hand of long ago." Master Eon issued off to mention that while he knows the evil actions of those in the past, he never knew how the Imaginate Crystals came to them because of what evil destroyed their world.
"Just who is that one enemy? Even from a memory, I felt a dark power almost matching what destroyed that world." King Vision asked in sounding concern over who it was they saw in that memory event.
"That my dear friend is someone who relates to a being you all recall: The Darkness." The Brain issued off to mention this which shocks everyone to believe what they think they heard. "Apparently he & Kaos' Mother came across a powerful shard from another world, & used it to create the 1st most powerful Dark Doomlander from that world when snatching a few Imaginate Crystals: he was called Kooler." He explained that some certain acts of familiar evil & powerful foes created such an evil Dark Doomlander.
"Kooler, as in like a cooler from a refrigerator?" Sharpfin raised an eyebrow in looking surprised how someone got such a name.
"Don't assume to make fun of a name of a being who's power can match that of The Darkness." The Brain lectured that one should be careful in how they judge others.
"It can match The Darkness!?" King Vision asked in sounding surprised to hear such a thing was possible.
"Yes indeed, maybe more. I suppose the scary thing to think about, is that because Kaos' Mother was involved in his creation long before her involvement with the Swap Force. Kooler is almost like her 1st son to be a weapon of destruction. Lord knows that means he's like a half-brother to Kaos, if that was possible to believe." The Brain rolled his eyeball in making a snarky remark comment about how Kaos' mother was involved in helping to create Kooler, the 1st Dark Doomlander to rival The Darkness.
"So then are you saying that….Kooler started his own evil organization, created more Dark Doomlanders for his own personal army." King Vision asked in slowly following what they have been told up to this point.
"Yes, however because she feared he grow too powerful to be controlled when the Darkness was banished, Kaos' Mother had to exile Kooler off our world since she alone couldn't handle it by herself." The Brain explained another manner that also surprised & shock many to here this.
"Exile…so you mean this guy has sent his own members to do the dirty work?" Sharpfin raised an eyebrow to question the logic in how one sees things.
"Yes, so if these Demon Forces are indeed his army, then it may mean the battle is far from over." Master Eon issued off to firmly state sternly how things are not over.
The group heard this to become more concern then before. They just defeated Kaos, but if a larger, more bigger problem should come, then they will need a miracle to get out of this alive.
MEANWHILE
ON A REMOTE PLANET FAR FROM SKYLANDS
At this moment, the background began to play 'Poison' by Dust For Life to build up extra suspense & tension of what is happening. The scene suddenly changes to an unknown blue & green atmosphere cloud covered planet not to far from the Skylands World. On the planet's surface were harsh winds blowing across a barren wasteland of dry rock surface & dead trees. But somewhere on the surface, there was a famialr alien spaceship that docked nearby, & just ahead…were those from the Demon Force.
"What's That?" Kooler responded off in somewhat firmly stump surprise. "Kaos was defeated by a single Imaginator? That's Absurd! How could one Imaginator generate enough power to defeat him?" He protest sternly that such a thing was impossible given that what Kaos wielded should have made him impossible to beat.
"It happened my lord…this Imaginator is a Skylander from the Skylands World." Neiz issued to humbly address this as he & Dore sat on stone seats while Salza stood near Cooler's scuptored thrown. "It seems the crystal left the Imaginator's World before it was blown up & given a form." He explained everything about what intel they managed to dig up: the Imaginator in question was one from the world destroyed but escape when it was still a helpless crystal.
"Hmmm…Oh well, I never did like him very much." Kooler hums to himself with shut eyes to calmly take this information to remark the fact: that he didn't much care about what Kaos would achieve or not. "And now he goes & disgraces The Darkness & I by getting defeated some Imaginator being a Skylander." Now he opens his eyes after making this remote matter as he soon stood up from his thrown as the others notice this action.
"The Darkness always allowed those to become spoiled from a taste of power & Kaossandra couldn't do a thing for that bald brat." He makes harsh remarks within his mind about how Kaos has truly revealed that those that learn to wield the darkness, are no supreme forces to be feared. "Salza!" He spoke off in addressing to one nearby.
"Sir." Salza humbly crosses his right arm to the chest to bow while saluting; awaiting orders.
"Prepare the ship for departure." Kooler gave the order; they are preparing to leave at once.
Neiz & Dore responded to stand up & salute in hearing & willing to obey.
"I don't know who this Skylander thinks they are, but no one disgraces those of the darkness & lives…/BREAKSvhmm…" Then as Kooler was making this angry degree, his tail completely shattered his solid stone frame thrown to pieces & dust in the wind. "No One!" He issued again to make his valid point extra clear now. "Plot a course for the Skylands World." Now Kooler shows a wicked sly smile that their next stop: is the world of Skylands themselves.
The scene begins to darken at this time as the suspensions rose. At this moment, the background music slowly began to cease to be heard. A new threat is about to come to the Skylands, & it's a danger that no one will know just how great a crisis…their world will soon face…
