Darkness.
There was nothing BUT it.
It had remained for all eternity, and maybe many millennia more.
It would be trapped in the darkness forever. It didn't even know what IT was. Not even a thing at all.
Suddenly, in a split millisecond, a fiery red nebula exploded before the darkness!
A constellation of stars took form. It appeared to be of a person wielding a mighty sword.
Then, many stars collided together, exploding forth a massive nebula, a red fiery star in the middle of a swirling galaxy.
A massive swirly starry constellation rose out, pulling out a starry constellation of a blade. It then stayed still, as if putting itself unconscious.
Parts began to form on it. A Head, Eyes, Chest, Arms, and Legs. Then, it was bestowed a blade that shone brightly, like THE blade to banish the darkness.
Armor was added next. Shoulder Guards, Arm Guards, and Leg Guards.
It then stood in silence as the arms turned green, the face yellow, and the body black and red.
Then, something, someONE, spoke to him.
Evil can't stop your sword, Sir Hoodington.
Its eyes, HIS eyes, suddenly shot open, the sapphire blue burning bright.
He was the Knight of Fire.
Becoming a flaming meteor, he sped off towards the world fate and destiny guided him to, to protect it, the Hero's journey had begun.
His LIFE had begun.
…
It had been 6 years ever since Spyro and Cynder first came to Skyklands, and in just the previous year, a lot has happened ever since The Darkness was banished.
And by a lot, it meant a LOT!
Flynn had begun a mini-documentary series called "Under The Hood", where he explained the works and his own opinions on the SuperChargers' vehicles.
Baron Von Shellshock had sold the Battle Arena of BattleBrawl Island. It was now owned by K-Troll DJ Chill Bill, and now his co-worker, Broccoli Guy.
Spyro's hunch about Kaos returning was right. Gaining possession of the Book of Dark Magic, Kaos attempted to gain control of all the portals, but it backfired. Instead, unstable rifts were ripped open, with Portal Masters finding themselves in Skylands! After a great journey, the Portal Masters restored the Portal Network, returning home with the power to return at will.
Speaking of home, Skylands was now connected to Spyro's homeworld. Now, it seemed like the two had become one.
As for Spyro himself, after 6 long months, he, Spotlight, and Blackout had finally returned to the Skylander Academy with the four magical items necessary to build the New Core Of Light: The Golden Sun, The Silver Moon, The Eternal Light Source, and The Eternal Dark Source. It functioned very differently.
At night, The Eternal Dark Source would suck dark energy into the Core. At day, The Eternal Light Source converted the dark energy into light energy, thus making it normal magic, and expelling it back into Skylands.
Spotlight and Blackout had even become the guardian angels of Spyro and Cynder, due to the romantic bond they shared.
The other Skylanders even learned to harness certain amounts of their power. Their appearances changed back and forth, from Series 1 through 4, depending on the power they were harnessing. As for the SuperChargers, they would gain their SuperCharger appearances when they got into their vehicles. At full power, the Skylanders would gain their Awakening forms.
For certain missions, a small strike team would be sent out. This team consisted of Spyro, Stealth Elf, Eruptor, Jet-Vac, and Pop Fizz. Spyro had tried to think up of a name, but Team Spyro didn't quite sound right (Plus the others didn't like it as much).
Spyro had even raced Spitfire, wings against wheels. But this time, he was going up against a more familiar face.
"Alright, Stealth Elf!" Spyro said. "Let's do this! This time, try to keep up!"
"Don't get too confident, Spyro." The ninja said, stretching. "I've got a new strategy this time."
Pop Fizz was standing on a nearby crate. Clearing his throat, he began speaking in his best Pandergast imitation.
"On you marks!"
Spyro's eyes narrowed. The goal of this training exercise/race was simple. Get to the flag, then come right back to the finish line. And he had wings, so he knew he had the advantage.
"Get set!"
Stealth Elf focused. Spyro wouldn't DEFINITELY see this one coming!
Pop Fizz then drank a potion, transformed, then said "GO!" in beast language.
The purple dragon and the green elf took off!
Hugo was passing by with many books, but the poor Mabu was quickly caught in the path of the two and was spun by their speed.
The two raced around the flag, then darted back to the finish. This time, Flynn was the hapless victim.
"HOLY SMOKES, NOT MY SANDWICHES!"
After the two zoomed by, Flynn tried desperately to catch the sandwiches.
"Easy there." He said as one sandwich fell on him. "Daddy's gotcha."
"Come on, Stealth Elf!" Spyro chuckled, far in the lead.
The two made it across the finish line, with Spyro the winner.
"You can't win if you don't try!"
Stealth Elf said nothing…
Suddenly, she vanished!
"WHA?!"
"Who said I didn't try?"
Her voice coming behind him, Spyro whirled to see the REAL Stealth Elf waiting for him.
"Amazing you could best my copy. Soon, we'll see how you fair against the real me."
"Why you cheating little-!"
The dragon was cut off by proximity alarms. That could only mean one thing…
Skylander Academy was under attack!
The clouds darkened as a bolt of purple lightning zoomed across the sky, ricocheting off the tower tips. Pushing Spyro out of the way, then leaping out of the way herself, Stealth Elf watched with the others as the lightning headed into the library.
The suspense and intensity increasing by the minute, they watched as purple dark clouds oozed out, with the door banging violently.
Then, they burst open, revealing a gigantic Biclops monster!
"WOAH!" Spyro gasped. "WHAT IS THAT?!"
"I don't know!" Stealth Elf answered. "But I bet it doesn't have a library card!"
Spyro took to the air, then blasted his fire at the Biclops.
However, the fire didn't even make it flinch! Whatever this thing was, it was seriously invulnerable!
It swatted at the dragon, then focused on the ninja.
Stealth Elf dodged each of its attacks, teleporting to get the advantage. However, with such a single blow, the Biclops was able to knock her aside.
Suddenly, the skies lit up as three figures landed. One was a tree-like being, the other was a small skullgirl, and the last one was a penguin with arm blades.
"Masters! You've returned!"
"Woah! You know these guys?!"
Roaring, the Biclops charged! Blocking its fists, the penguin was dragged back, but managed to counter with a freezing breath. With the Biclops frozen, the penguin dealt a fierce uppercut, knocking it back.
The green one struck next. Slashing with its sword, it managed to get in a few blows from the Biclops' immense guard, before ultimately breaking it with bamboo.
The skullgirl went next. Throwing her head to get its attention, she spun with her axe to trip it, then struck it in the chest.
Getting back up, the Biclops suddenly found itself struck by all three simultaneously! It fell with a crash, defeated.
"You…" It spoke. "You may have bested me now, Senseis, but I still have what I came for." It conjured up a book it somehow stole from the library before making it disappear back. "Those who STILL think they can best me, meet me at the Cradle of Creation. My master and I will TRULY finish things THERE!"
The Biclops then became lightning once more as it zapped off.
"So, let me get this right," Pop Fizz said. He pointed to the treeman. "That green sword guy was the one who found, raised, and trained you," He then pointed to the other two. "And those guys helped you with your training."
"No." Stealth Elf said. "I was raised by a being called Forester. I was trained under him and Grandmaster Cami Flage. Ambush, Chopscotch, and King Pen are teachers, however. Just not MY teachers."
"Then, how did you know of them? Who told you?"
Suddenly, as 15 other figures arrived, a familiar face appeared out of thin air!
"MASTER EON!"
"Greetings, Skylanders!" Eon said. "It is I who told Stealth Elf here about the newest additions to the team: The Senseis!"
"Senseis?"
"It means teacher." Spyro answered.
"Indeed. Not only are they masters of their own Elements, but also of ten unique Battle Classes!"
"Battle Classes?" Spyro asked. "Is that like Elements?"
"Indeed. But rather than focusing on powers, Battle Classes are more weapon-based. Like Elements, there are ten of them: Brawler, Sorcerer, Smasher, Bowslinger, Knight, Quickshot, Sentinel, Ninja, Bazooker, and Swashbuckler.
Brawlers are strong heroes, with a mastery of hand-to-hand combat.
Sorcerers channel the energy of Skylands with their enchanted staffs.
Smashers pulverize their opponents with enormous smashing weapons, such as clubs, axes, maces, and hammers.
Bowslingers are trained in the ancient art of archery, defeating foes over great distances.
Knights are brave warriors, highly trained in the noble art of swordplay.
Quickshots deliver justice over great distances with pinpoint precision, quick on the draw with their dual pistols.
Sentinels are agile warriors who wield double ended weapons.
Ninjas are skilled and nimble, trained in the art of the throwing star.
Bazookers use enormously powerful weapons, such as rocket launchers, to cause massive destruction.
Swashbucklers wield two blades and use agility to outwit their enemies."
Then, he assigned old Skylanders Battle Classes.
Blades, Chop Chop, Eruptor (when SuperCharged), Ignitor, Krypt King, Thunderbolt, High Volt, Wash Buckler, Flip Wreck, Gill Grunt (when SuperCharged), Rip Tide, Knight Mare, Doom Stone, and Knight Light were of the Knight Battle Class.
Terrafin, Night Shift, Nightfall, Jawbreaker, Spitfire, Fist Bump, Fryno, Boomer, Slam Bam, Trap Shadow, Wind-Up, Pop Fizz (in Beast Mode) Roller Brawl, Free Ranger, Grilla Drilla, Eye-Brawl, and Tree Rex were of the Brawler Battle Class.
Stink Bomb, Dino-Rang, Stealth Elf, Lob-Star, and Stormblade were of the Ninja Battle Class.
Splat, Chill, Fright Rider, Grim Creeper, High Volt (Yes, some were assigned MORE than one Battle Class!), and Fire Kraken were of the Sentinel Battle Class.
Trigger Happy, Wash Buckler, Astroblast, Fiesta, Food Fight, Torch, Cobra Cadabra, Bouncer, Magna Charge, Punk Shock, Jet-Vac and Rattle Shake were of the Quickshot Battle Class.
Smash Hit, Wallop, Stump Smash, Wham-Shell, Voodood, Sprocket, Bushwhack, Ghost Roaster, Rip Tide, Thumpback, Rubble Rouser, and Crusher were of the Smasher Class.
Dive-Clops, Countdown, Food Fight, Chopper, Ka-Boom Bumble Blast, Gill Grunt, Terrafin (when SuperCharged) Zook, Pop Fizz (when SuperCharged), Stealth Elf (when Supercharged), and Drill Sergeant were of the Bazooker Class.
Snap Shot and Flameslinger were of the Bowslinger Class.
Double Trouble, Dune Bug, Enigma, Hoot Loop, Deja Vu, Zoo Lou, Bat Spin, Lightning Rod, and Hex were of the Sorcerer Class.
Ninjini was the only one of the Swashbuckler Class.
"Now, Senseis, while I prepare the others, why don't you introduce yourselves to those who do not yet know you?"
As Eon left, the Senseis did just that. First off, they said that they weren't banished to Earth at all, just like the SuperChargers.
King Pen hailed from a militaristic unit of penguins who protect the Cloudmelt Glaciers. During an epic battle, King Pen was trapped in an avalanche and had to take refuge in a nearby cave for the remainder of the winter season. During his solitude, he was visited by a mysterious Yeti Master, named Snow Wah, who began teaching him an ancient combat style known as "Flipper-Fu". King Pen was already a skilled fighter, but the wise teacher helped him to understand the spiritual and philosophical nature of warfare, turning the penguin into an unstoppable force. When he finally emerged from the cave, tales of his newfound abilities spread far and wide. When Eon caught wind, he recruited King Pen into his top secret training program, where he quickly rose up the ranks to become the leader of the Skylander Sensei. Years later, King Pen returned to the site of the avalanche to thank his teacher, but no evidence of Snow Wah or the cave was ever found – leaving many to wonder if the Yeti had ever existed at all.
There were many mysterious things in the Mystical Bamboo Forest, but none more so than Ambush. The forest was considered to be one of Skylands' greatest natural wonders, and no outsider, good or bad, was ever permitted to trespass. But that didn't stop Kaossandra! After deciding that the ancient trees would make an exquisite display in her Royal Courtyard, she commanded her army of chainsaw-wielding trolls to chop down the entire forest. This angered Ambush, the mystical tree-knight, who saw the atrocity and swore revenge! Wielding his mythic sword, he fought off the trolls and forced Kaos' mother into hiding. When Eon heard the story, he knew that the mysterious sword master would make the ideal Sensei, and promised to "go green" himself if Ambush would join the Skylander team. Ambush now trained other Knights - and those who are not environmentally conscious cower in fear!
The only thing that ever mattered to Chopscotch was mastering her weapon of choice, the giant axe, while rocking out to her favorite musical idol, Wolfgang. It never bothered her that she was short in stature or that all of the other ghouls in the Underworld laughed at the way she spoke in rhymes as she made up her own lyrics to Wolfgang's guitar jams. So when Wolfgang joined the villainous Doom Raiders, she was devastated. But instead of letting it destroy her, she chose to put her axe skills to good use, and fought Wolfgang and his Moon Goons when they attempted to curse her entire town during an evil concert. Her willingness to stand up to her long time hero came as a surprise to everyone, and soon all of the villagers were speaking in rhymes in her honor. Soon after, she met Eon, who was so impressed at her fighting abilities and positive outlook that he recruited her as a Sensei for the Smasher Class. Now she taught new Skylanders how to fight… and how to rhyme!
Before he began training Brawlers, Air Strike trained birds – especially the rare Blue Zephyr Falcons. They were once one of Skylands' most endangered species, but Air Strike taught them how to defend themselves from predators... and not fly into windows. Birds would come from all over Skylands to learn his proven techniques. But despite their new defensive skills, the Blue Zephyr Falcons continued to be hunted by a band of evil trolls, who liked to use their eggs in blue-bacon omelets. So it was time for Air Strike to strike back! He journeyed to the peak of the Zephyr Mountain and single handedly took down the trolls, rescuing the stolen eggs. After returning them to their mother, one of the eggs hatched, revealing a very energetic Falcon that would not leave his side. Air Strike named him "Birdie" – and together, they now used their skills to train Skylanders, despite Eon's crippling fear of falcons.
Aurora was the niece of Master Eon. For years, he tried to keep her identity a secret so that she would remain safe from harm. But as she grew older, Aurora wanted nothing more than to become a Skylander, but Eon would not permit it. So without telling him, she wore a disguise and studied swordplay and combat arts under the name "Boss Blades McSlashinator." Soon, everyone was talking about this new mysterious hero and her amazing abilities. Even Master Eon was notably impressed, but when he learned the skilled fighter was none other than his own niece, he once again refused her entry into the Skylanders team. However, before she could protest, Eon smiled and told her it was because he was immediately promoting her to his Sensei program, where she would train the Swashbuckler Class under her true name and identity. Although he did later admit that "Boss Blades McSlashinator" sounded pretty cool.
Barbella was the best fitness trainer in all of Skylands. Not only did she possess otherworldly strength, she was also a firm believer that a healthy diet and exercise led to true happiness. With such a positive message to spread, Barbella decided to open her own fitness center called "Flex-a-lot", where she hoped to instill good eating and workout habits with all of her patrons. But one day, the gelatinous villain known as The Gulper destroyed her gym, and it took all of Barbella's strength to keep it from collapsing while everyone fled to safety. It was then that Barbella realized that bad guys were more hazardous to your health than anything else, so she began to train in the ways of the Sentinel, where she quickly became one of the greatest masters in the world!
Boom Bloom was created in the laboratory of a mad scientist! After using his mutation goo to change deadwood into evil creatures, Dr. Krankcase began experimenting with live plants! But it had a much different effect. Instead of becoming subservient villains, the mutated plants instantly rebelled against their creator and tried to destroy his goo factory. Dr. Krankcase and his henchmen were able to thwart all of these insurgent plants, except for one - Boom Bloom! Her mutation gave her extraordinary Ninja skills and a thorny whip, which she used to unleash a flurry of martial arts moves that forced Dr. Krankcase to flee his own factory and vow never to experiment on plants again. Now as a Sensei of the Ninja class, she uses her incredible abilities to teach new Skylanders how to protect nature... and unleash its fury!
When Buckshot was young, he and his siblings were banished to the Magic Realm of Mysterious Mazes by an evil Spell Punk that wanted to rid Skylands of all Sky-Fauns. Buckshot spent years looking for a way out, but found no way to escape the enchanted labyrinth. Over time, however, the magic of the realm began to grow within him, strengthening his already formidable powers. While his siblings had lost all hope of freedom, Buckshot continued to test the boundaries of the maze, using his mystical bow and arrows to try to penetrate the walls around him. Eventually, Buckshot's powers became so potent that he even learned how to teleport. With this new ability, he was finally able to open a portal back into Skylands and free his siblings. Now as a Sensei of the Bowslinger class, Buckshot always keeps one eye on the target – and the other on the lookout for the Spell Punk that had banished him!
No matter what he was doing, Chain Reaction always prided himself at being the best at it. Despite his impressive skills, though, the two chainsaw swords he regularly wielded tended to scare most people away. As a result, Chain Reaction was often lonely. But that all changed the day he witnessed a group of young dwarves getting picked on by an evil gang of ninja rats, the dwarves looked at Chain Reaction as their hero, and followed him everywhere he went. While Chain Reaction appreciated the company, he knew that he could not protect them forever, so he decided to teach them all he knew so that they could one day protect themselves. Sometime later, Eon heard rumors about dwarves from a small village who had successfully defended themselves against a large army of ninja rats thanks to the teachings of a great master. He knew at once that he needed to find Chain Reaction and make him a Sensei.
Ember was raised inside the Dragonfire Dojo, having come from a long line of Fire Sentinels that were skilled in the art of Dual-Blades. It was the dream of her father that Ember would follow their tradition and take over the family training facility, and so she practiced every day. She was naturally gifted, and soon even the greatest Dual-Blade Masters were no match for Ember. When Kaos heard of this, he took over her village and banned martial arts entirely, for fear of an uprising. But Ember fought back, unleashing an impressive barrage of Samurai pyrotechnics that drove the invaders away. Even though her village was free, she knew then that there was a greater evil out there that needed to be stopped, and so she joined the Skylanders to train others in the art of the Sentinel Battle Class. One day though, Ember planned to return to her homeland and reopen her family's school, but not until Skylands is safe once and for all.
When Flare Wolf was young, he worked all summer to earn the coveted Fireworks Badge from the Wolf Scouts. In doing so, he had earned the right to light the fireworks in the annual St. Wigglewort's Day celebration - an honor of which Flare Wolf was extremely proud. But on the day of the celebration, a band of evil Ice Ogres attacked his village and took the entire community hostage! The only weapons at his disposal were the town's supply of fireworks they were saving for the evening festivities. One by one, Flare Wolf lit them in the center of the Ogre camp, launching a dazzling display of pyrotechnics that sent the Ogres running. Not only had Flare Wolf saved his village, he had also given its residents the most spectacular fireworks show they had seen in over 100 years! Even Eon himself was impressed, and offered Flare Wolf a position at the Academy as the Official Fireworks Launcher. But after seeing him in action, he quickly realized that Flare Wolf had much more to offer as a Sensei!
For centuries, Mysticat and the great Sphinxes guarded the entrance to the Enchanted Desert with their famous riddles, which few could solve. Mysticat was a curious creature, and had his own question that even he could not answer. He was puzzled as to why others wanted to enter the Enchanted Desert so badly. So he decided to venture himself to find the answer. But instead of finding answers, he was attacked by wandering gypsies and evil sand raiders that scoured the desert for lost treasure. After fighting them off with his impressive sorcery skills, he returned to the elders and explained what happened. It was then that they revealed the true nature of the desert to him. They told him that what he saw was a vision of his own destiny - and that he was meant to protect all of Skylands, not just the Enchanted Desert. Eon was then invited to enter the desert to meet Mysticat to see if their two destinies were intertwined. When Eon emerged the next day, it was clear to him that Mysticat was meant to be one of his best Senseis... and that he would one day shave his beard. But he kept that part to himself.
Pit Boss was a member of a powerful order of snake philosophers that lived high up in the Great Twisty Mountains. Travelers would come from miles around and make the treacherous climb just to seek out the snakes' wisdom. Each visitor was permitted to ask one question, but Pit Boss became alarmed when the same question was asked by several different people – how to deal with the growing threat of Kaos! With such a great concern, Pit Boss knew that it was time for action, not words. He left the Order of the Snake in search of this threat, and soon it was clear that Kaos was worse than Pit Boss had imagined. Knowing he could not stop Kaos on his own, Pit Boss joined the Skylanders, and due to his great wisdom and mystical powers, Eon enlisted him into the Sensei program as a Sorcerer Master.
There is no record of the person who originally built Ro-Bow. By the time his basic systems were fully online, his creator was nowhere to be found. Ro-Bow searched far and wide, but since his programming was incomplete, he was unable to communicate with anyone. Eventually he stumbled upon the remains of an old lair that had been built by Kaos, and discovered a strange device inside the Matter Refactoring Room. Ro-Bow was able to access the device and download a staggering amount of information from it, which gave him the ability to speak, albeit in a slightly strange language, as well as shoot driller arrows with pinpoint accuracy. He also acquired a lot of details about Kaos himself. Even though Ro-Bow's past was a mystery, his future became quite clear - his new prime directive was to seek out Eon and help fight evil. With this incredible archery knowledge and skills, there could be no better trainer for the Bowslinger Class, so Eon made him a Sensei on the spot.
No one knows where Starcast came from, including Starcast himself! He was first seen falling out of the sky and landing directly on top of Eon, after he had made a wish for a Ninja Master to train the new generation of Skylanders. While it appeared that Eon's wish had come true, it was later revealed that Pop Fizz had simultaneously made a wish to get out of anger management lessons with the old Portal Master. Therefore, it was impossible to determine if Starcast was the result of one wish or the other. But after a brief martial arts display, it was clear to all that the mysterious Starcast was a very skilled ninja warrior. And seeing as how Master Eon had to walk around on crutches for the next few weeks, it was also clear that anger management class would have to be postponed – so it was a win-win!
Long before she became a Sensei, Tidepool was an undercover agent for a top secret organization known as the Aqua Marines. However, one day she was betrayed by her superiors, who were part of an even more top secret organization intent on destroying Skylands. Using her spy training, Tidepool made it her personal mission to seek out every member of this evil shadow group and bring them to justice. This did not go unnoticed by Eon, who felt that someone of her caliber would be perfect to train new Skylanders as a Sensei of the Quickshot class. However, Tidepool was not easily convinced that she could even trust Eon and the Skylanders after being deceived by her last organization. To earn her trust, she requested that everyone pass a truth test that she would conduct. Thankfully, all of the members of the Academy passed with flying colors... except for Flynn, who insisted that he was 50% Mabu and 50% enchilada sauce. Tidepool felt that he was 100% meathead.
Long before he became a Sensei, Tri-Tip wandered Skylands searching for the mythical Warping Walnut Tree, rumored to never be at the same place long before moving to a new location. After many years, he found the tree - and just before it vanished once again, he took from it a Golden Walnut, which was said to reveal life's purpose to those who could open it. But to his dismay, the enchanted walnut could not be cracked no matter how hard he struck it with his thick head. Realizing that only a weapon of immense power could crack the magical shell, and not his head, Tri-Tip forged a mighty mace and trained with the greatest warriors to become the ultimate Master of Smashing. But on the day when he was finally ready to open the shell, he paused. It was then that Tri-Tip realized his true purpose – one that the unopened walnut had been teaching him all along. His purpose in life was to use his skills to protect Skylands. He then gifted the unopened walnut to one of his students and left to join the Skylanders.
By the time he was 10 years old, Wild Storm had already mastered the Air Blade. With no family of his own, he spent much of his youth traveling throughout Skylands, offering his combat services to the highest bidder as a soldier of fortune. On one such occasion, he was hired by Kaos to break into a pirate outpost in Skyhighlands to steal their legendary gold detector. But little did Wild Storm know, he was only being used by Kaos to scout their defenses – and he was captured by the pirates! While imprisoned in the highest tower, the powerful winds blew through his cell, fueling his anger. But Wild Storm would not be contained! Harnessing the storm's energy, he grew 3 times his size and exploded out of his prison – vowing to put a stop to Kaos once and for all. Soon after, he met Eon, who agreed to help him, provided Wild Storm would share his skills in swordsmanship with other Skylanders, as a Sensei of the Knight Class!
As soon as they finished, Eon returned.
"2 years ago, I assigned ten villains who wishes to change their ways and become good a crucial task." Eon said. "They had to rearrange all the books in the Academy's library. Now, their hard work pays off." He turned to the SuperChargers and Senseis. "You need not worry. They are one of us now."
The now former-villains then arrived!
"I give you your newest Senseis!" Eon announced. "The Golden Queen for Sorcerers, Wolfgang for Bowslingers, Tae Kwon Crow for Ninjas, Pain-Yatta for Smashers, Blaster-Tron for Knights, Bad Juju and Juju Junior for Swashbucklers, Chompy Mage for Bazookers, Dr. Krankcase for Quickshots, Hood Sickle for Sentinels, and Grave Clobber for Brawlers! And plus, we have one more unexpected surprise."
"Huh? What would that be?"
"I believe our old enemy, Kaos, has stumbled upon the ancient energy of Mind Magic. With it, he may be creating monsters just like the one you just faced. Well, I believe the first thing he may have created was none other than a clone of himself! Figuring that no one in the universe, including the Skylanders, could ever stand up to more than one Kaos, he unleashed his clone in his quest to take over Skylands. But to Kaos' surprise, the clone –also being Kaos– wanted victory for himself! As a result, he decided to fight against his creator, in turn helping the Skylanders in their endeavor to defeat the real Kaos!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
The team turned to see what appeared to be the clone do a dramatic entrance.
"Behold! It is I, Kaos! And in an unexpected turn of events, it appears that I will be hall…hiiiiiiii…HELPING you take down that imposter!" The clone choked out.
"Wait, you said something about Mind Magic." Spyro turned back to Eon. "What's Mind Magic?"
"Well, young dragon, I am glad you asked." Eon said. "After a long journey and research, I have finally discovered the TRUE origin of Skylands! The Ancients used this powerful force to create everything in the world! Anything they could ever imagine popped into existence! This very force was even responsible for creating the ten Elements themselves! However, the Ancients realized that this force would be really dangerous if it got into the wrong hands. If used improperly, it could tear the very fabric of creation in two! So, they hid it away. But it didn't stay hidden for long. Now that Kaos has it, he may create an army so vast, even all 155 of you will be outnumbered!"
"Yeah, that's not good."
"However, I believe there is a way we can fight back against this threat." Eon continued. "You see, when beings like Kaos' new monsters are created, ideas are left behind. They become crystallized fragments of a powerful material stronger than Traptanium: Imaginite. They can form into powerful Creation Crystals, which Portal Masters can use to turn the tables on Kaos. If he can create his own army, so can they!"
"You mean…?"
"Yes. This new generation of Skylanders are called the Imaginators. The Senseis here will be in charge of training them all. They will be our key to being the infinite army against this equally infinite threat."
"Hey, that Biclops guy said that he would be with his master in the 'Cradle of Creation'." Spyro said. "That book he has MUST be important, so we've got to get it back, right? And if I'm right, that 'master' MUST be Kaos!"
"Indeed." Eon said. "Spyro, you must journey there to stop the beast. If you are lucky, you might find an Imaginator there."
"You got it! See you guys later!"
And with that, Spyro took off.
"Ah, what the heck, I'm going too!" King Pen said. "I just HAVE to demonstrate what a Sensei can do!"
And with that, he followed the dragon.
A new adventure had now begun…
