Chapter 27: Hiding & Seeking Medicine
SOMEWHERE AROUND THE ISLAND
The scene opens up to reveal Kooler's Armored Squadron flying through the air all over the island that had the camp site of those with a strong Imagiantor. They were given a task to find & destroy Unity by Kooler's orders.
"Urrgh! I don't get it? These scouters are not picking up anything?" Salza groans to complain as they were using left eye scanner devices that were not locating their prime targets. "It must be broken?" He exclaimed in having to guess why it was not working; busted.
"Hurgh! She's probably Dead!" Dore remarked off that the Skylander was probably dead. "No One's EVER got hit by Kooler's Death beam & live to tell about it!" He comments how they seen when Kooler hits a target, they don't survive to tell the tale. "As far as I know?" He muttered under his breath in stating he only knows that as a fact cause so far, none have ever come out of the Death Beam contact.
ELSEWHERE AT THIS TIME
The scene opens to reveal that Buzz was trying to help wake up the Flynn Brigade that were still knock out of the lop. Hugo, Cali & Mags watch on in hoping for a response: 7 then the 3 Imaginators began to awaken.
"Good work Buzz, they're starting to wake up." Cali smiled in seeing something was working.
"Heh, no sweat….enchiladas are Flynn's favorite, so course it work for these boys." Buzz laughs off to display what type of tool was used to do the job: Flynn's favorite food type.
"Hmmm…that smells good enough to eat!" Bling smiled in feeling like something tasty was right before them.
"Say ah, where's Unity you guys?" Captain Bam noticed that someone was not present & accounted for.
"Yeah, & where's Tessa & that other handsome Mabu guy Flynn we know?" Colonel asked off in seeing there were 2 others not here.
"Dat's wha we intend ta find out! Come on, we gotta locate them!" Mags insisted that they begin looking where the others have gotten to.
"Oh boy, our troubles just never seem to be over?" Hugo signed in feeling things are really becoming harder to get around.
In a nearby area was a small cave entrance, where something could use as an animal home: or for other cases, a hideout. And within it, Flynn, Tessa & Whiskers were comforting Unity as she lay against a nearby wall.
"Hey there Unity, you awake yet? Hey!?" Flynn spoke off to try to gently wake the Imaginator who was hurt real badly.
"AaGrrr…Flynn….Tessa?" Unity slowly began to open her eyes, & that was when she was able to see those before her.
"Hey there! Glad to see your awake." Tessa smiled happily in seeing their friend was still with them.
"Urrrghh…." Unity flinches from the pain as she cringes. "This is bad, that attack…it fried my body." She aches from feeling something that hurts really bad, it's hard for her to move.
"Ahhhh…what do you mean by…fried?" Flynn raised an eyebrow in not quite following this topic when someone says their body is fried.
"I heard from Master Eon that if Imaginators get too beat up, they cease to function because of how much strain that puts on their crystal." Tessa explained something that for Imaginators who are created by the Imaginate Crystal, suffer from what happens to the outer shell of their body. "Worse yet, if nothing is done then the crystal will feel the effects of the body & begin to crack until when it shatters, it'll means…the end." She stated in pointing out the serious case in what will happen if they do not treat their friend.
"Wait, by 'The End', you don't mean…" Flynn was seemingly bothered by what he's heard before a worried Tessa nodded that the Mabu was not wrong: it means the end of an Imaginator's life. "Holy Enchiladas That's Bad! We gotta find a Doctor or a Repairman, something?" He grasped his head in almost panicking that they gotta find some way to help.
Then at this moment, the entire cave was responding as dirt was falling & a small tremor quake shook everything. This caused those in the cave to become alert of what was happening.
"Woah…what was that?" Tessa yelped in not knowing what was going on outside.
"Hang on, I'll go check!" Flynn issued to say in going to see what the fuss was.
Now Flynn went out of the cave to inspect what was going on that there was so much noise & shaking. But when the Mabu looked out, he nearly shook within his boots. There was a lot of falling energy blast shots from the sky impacting & creating seismic explosions that were leveling the forest area before those hiding.
"Attention to Detail. That's why we're the Best!" Dore proclaimed as he & Neiz were seen firing energy shots from their hands all over the place. "We're so darn thorough!" He proclaimed in how he & the armored squadron were doing their job.
"Yeeeeah…We always Get The Target!" Salza responded in agreement as he & the rest continued firing a relentless assault of energy blast shots all over.
"BOOM…KABLAM…..BOOOOM….." All around, multiple explosions were destroying a beautiful forest area, even scaring the animals away.
"Sweat Enchiladas! OH NO!" Flynn yelped a bit before panicking to run back into the cave. "EVERYBODY TAKE COVER!" He yells this out as he hurries over to the others.
"FLYNN! WOoooH!?" Tessa yelped as suddenly the cave ceiling began to come a bit down on them as Whiskers expanded himself to cover everyone.
"FULL STOMACH, EH!? THIS IS THE GRAND FINALE!" Salza issued off as he & the armored squadron were continuing while preparing the final action.
"BOOM….BOOM…KABOOM…." There was so many bigger explosions that brought down some rocky cliffs & even broke nearby waterfalls. By the time it was finally settled: much of a lovely forest area was now a destroyed & level barren land covered in mountains of scattered dirt.
"Ooops…You think we Overdid it a little bit?" Dore slightly responded in seeing they turn half this entire region into a barren wasteland from having to level everything to take out one target.
"Nyah…But we will probably have a hard time finding their bodies…" Salza shrug off without thinking they overdid it much while stating a different fact on topic as the armored squadron was sitting nearby to marvel at their work. "Because they are probably in a Million PIECES!" He issued off to make a rhetorical joke that finding their target might be harder if they blew the opponent all over the place: causing him & Neiz to laugh at the dark humor.
"We put him through the shredder! No one could have survived that!" Neiz issued off to also taunt how it's likely the hero Unity is no more after they level everything all over.
"Oh no?" Kooler's voice was heard somewhere to remark that fact.
"Hugh?" The Armored Squadron looked up to notice Kooler hovering over their heads.
"Lord Kooler?" Dore address off to get up in presenting himself to his lord.
"Weak Minds are Easily Deceived." Kooler had his arms cross in stating how those of simple minds can be easily fooled if they believe such an opponent will go down that easily. "She's Alive….And I want you to comb Every Inch of this Place Until you FIND Her!" He issued that Unity was still alive & he wants his squadron to find her & finish her off.
"Yes Sir!/Sire!" Salza, Dore & Neiz saluted in hearing & obeying.
"They can't hide forever. They'll come out sooner or later." Kooler firmly issued in having figured out that sometime, those in hiding will eventually come out. "I don't like these games as much as you do. I would just rather BLOW UP THIS RECIDE WORLD!" He angrily stated that to him, this is a waste of time as he could destroy all of the Skylands if he felt like it. "But I rather see her die by my own eyes….And I will." Then he calms down to state that he wants to be satisfied in seeing the demise of Unity before destroying this world.
LATER ON
NIGHT TIME CAME
The skies were dark, but things have not change. Dore was seen scouting around his area in search of Unity. But he flew over Buzz's group that were in hiding. When it felt safe, they moved out under the cover of darkness.
"Coast clear, move out!" Buzz gave word as Cali, Mags, Hugo, & the Flynn Brigade moved out while evading from the enemy spotting them.
"Don't leave us!" Hugo whispered out to not be left behind.
"Wait a second fellas, my device is detecting something?" Mags alerted the group as her mini device was reacting to something as it gave silent vibrate buzz sounds.
"Is it Unity & the others?" Cali asked in hoping that thing was capable of finding their friends.
"Well this here will help us find Imaginator types, & since we got these three, if we're close it'll vibrate more. And which means, they should be over here." Mags explained off while pointing to a nearby fallen rocky rubble.
"Hey, you guys in there?" Hugo called out a little in wishing, praying that nobody had perish when…
"Tessa, it's us!" Tessa's voice was heard from behind the rubble; making everyone smile with relief that they found the others.
"We got a problem! Unity's hurt really bad!" Flynn's voice was heard stating the problem: which caused those to be alarm by the news.
"Hmmm, wounded hugh? Is she down there?" Buzz asked off after thinking what they heard while trying to determine the situation here.
"Yes, we're all together." Tessa's voice responded that everyone was together alright.
"Now hold on, we'll help dig you out." Buzz issued off that they will help dig their pals out from being buried under rubble.
"Don't just stand there, help out!" Mags issued off towards the Flynn Brigade to start helping out.
"Just a second you guys." Cali called to those behind the rocks as they each pitch in to help.
Soon the group cleared away the last rubble of rocks, revealing Whiskers having kept much of the ceiling from falling on Tessa, Flynn & Unity.
"Ahhh…fresh air. Thanks you guys." Unity signed with relief, almost having felt she suffocate being buried alive. "Is…everyone else alright?" She asked in not sure if everyone was alright since she was the one in worse shape.
"Don't you worry nothing little lady, we're all as tough as nails." Buzz issued forth that even the old commando is tough enough to help lead those here to survive the best they can. "Alright you lot, we gotta move fast. We need a team to go out & find something that can help patch up Unity's injuries in a jiffy. The other half will stay here to hid the girl. But we're pretty much sitting ducks out here so don't any of you that heads off waste anytime." He firmly gave a lecture to help command those in which part everyone was gonna play: a Rescue Team & a Defender Team.
"Right!" Everyone except for Unity nodded as they will take their own respective roles.
"And best you all take an airship. I installed a camouflage function to hid it in case enemies tried to scout us when traveling by air." Mags issued to say in what those here best use, a means to fly while not being detected.
"Sweet! I always wanted to try flying….in Stealth Mode!?" Flynn smiled in sounding excited by this news of a stealth airship.
"Alright, best a luck to you all. And stay safe." Buzz issued to say in hoping those here partaking will be alright.
"Well don't you worry, the Best Pilot if the Skylands will get us to where we gotta go!" Flynn boasted that he's the best flying in Skyland, he'll get them to where they need to be.
"Oh before I forget, don't forget to stay above high altitudes, it'll be safer since the enemy is so close to the ground searching below then around up." Buzz issued to explain in knowing what military tactics to use that will benefit their side. "We're counting on you all." He stated that all hopes are lying with the Rescue Team.
"Right." The Rescue Team composed of Flynn, Hugo, Cali, Tessa along with Whiskers responded.
"I input coordinates fer ye all ta find something dat'll help Unity, remember ta bring as much as possible. Alright, good luck!" Mags issued to explain what else she did to provide some helpful aid.
At this moment, the background began to play 'Stay And Drown' from Finger Eleven for a suspenseful intensive event. As the scene focuses to show Salza flying in the night sky, looking at the ground to find anything suspicious.
"It's too dark! I can't see anything from down there?" Salza narrow his eyes to complain that his vision can't see when it's so dark.
But unaware of things, neither Salza or the Armored Squadron could see from above was Flynn's Airship flying overhead in the cover of night.
"Good job, I don't think they saw us." Cali smiled in seeing they are perfectly unseen by the enemy.
"Alright then, lets hurry along & find something to help Unity." Hugo stated in hoping they can get moving to find what they seek.
"Well hold on to your seatbelts, cause I'm gonna give it everything she's got." Flynn issued forth to say in gently having the airship speed a tiny bit up as the engine was in silent mode.
"Wow! I didn't even know this thing could fly as fast as Whiskers & not make as much racket?" Tessa issued off in surprise as she & Whiskers held on tight.
While the Rescue Team was out seeking what can help an injured friend, at a different location, was a well made hidden cave with some rocks surrounding the outskirts. Buzz was seen looking out firmly if any enemies were nearby.
"Ye alright?" Mags was seen checking on the old Mabu commando who seem distracted.
"I'm just hoping that lot doesn't get caught. We need something to help Unity." Buzz issued to say in knowing they gotta hope their Rescue Team pulls this off.
Everyone was on some near high edge even with the Flynn Brigade acting as support bodyguards, all while Unity was seen in pain even while she was trying to take it easy. Apparently she was still hurting, if nothing is done, she might not make it. Back with the Rescue Team, they were still on a plot course as the nighttime was nearly ending.
"How's the airship holding up Flynn?" Tessa was seen flying with Whiskers as she asked in hoping the airship can continue to fly a bit more.
"She's holding good, I think we're almost there." Flynn issued to say in how fair his airship is making it.
"Look! There it is! That's the nearest island that might have something to help heal Unity." Cali pointed off in noticing a flying island nearby that has some civilization structure & working lights.
"Few…we made it, I was afraid we might not have gotten here on time?" Hugo signed with relief that they found what might help them out.
"Let's park our ride & check to make sure everything is in working order & then go find what we need." Cali instructed Flynn in what they need to do to provide a better way of approach.
"You got it Cali!" Flynn replied off in preparing their ride to head for the destination.
"Just hang in there Unity, we'll be back soon. We might not be Skylanders, but we'll help any friend out." Cali looked out in praying their ally & friend can hold on just a bit longer.
"Hey you guys! I think I found something that might sell some magical healing items." Tessa appeared again while riding Whiskers; informing them of having discovered something.
With this news, the Mabus quickly found a spoke to park the airship when they arrived on an inhabited island. At this moment, the background music began to cease being heard in closing the scene of events occurring. Now everything fads out for what the team will do to secure that which may save Unity's life, remains to be seen…
