Gamelover41592: Thanks

Me when writing Three Stays Fresher: I don't want to have two Squid Sisters on one team, so I'll just do three teams! It will be a cute little thing and it's not like the game will ever do it

Me watching the Splatoon 3 direct: I AM A F!*KING PROPHET!

Yes, I am very pleased with myself. If I happen to have gotten any of the teams right, I will be even more pleased. Anyways, let's get back to the current story, shall we? Again, sorry this took so long. I was going back to school and needed to get everything back home all wrapped up.


As soon as the twin spouts were back in place, Hugo ordered everyone back to the docks.

"Now that the Twin Spouts of Ocea-Major-Minor are in place, we can talk about the Eternal Water source," Hugo reported to plenty of cheers. "Turns out it's located in a string of islands."

"String of islands?" Gurglefin questioned before laughing. "What are we waiting for? I'll get the boat ready!"

"You'll need more than a boat, I'm afraid," Hugo began to explain. "From what I've heard, the Eternal Water Source has returned to the sea-and can ONLY be summoned with the four ancient statues on these islands!"

"What's the but?" Ghost Roaster asked. He already knew where this was going and he didn't like it.

"BUT- I've ALSO heard rumors of a giant fish that lives in those waters. It's said that he eats whole villages! The locals call him LEVIATHAN." Hugo revealed. The present Water Skylanders all shared nervous glances. They knew about Leviathan and that he was not to be messed with.

"L-L-LEVIATHAN?!" Gurglefin sputtered. Clearly, he knew about the sea beast as well.

"It looks as if we have more than just Kaos and the Darkness to worry about. You'll have to be extremely cautious." Hugo warned the group.

"I concur," Eon said with a nod. "Sky and I will only remain on land for this mission, as much as setting foot could summon the beast to us."

"Aw. I wanna go swimming!" Sky protested as she crossed her arms.

"You can go for a swim later," Eon promised her, prompting Sky to cheer.

"Let's get moving!" She ordered before heading onto the ship. The other Skylanders were still worried, but followed her lead. They could deal with a sea monster if it meant defeating Kaos.


Upon arrival, the first thing that everyone noticed was the large amount of pirates.

"More of these clowns!?" Terrafin snapped.

"Like we don't deal with enough of them," Zap noted with a snarl.

"They might be looking for the statues in these islands too, so watch your tailfin out there!" Gurglefin warned. "Oh, and if you see a giant killer fish along the way, DON'T call me! Heh." Before the Skylanders could set off however, Eon got their attention.

"I believe Sky has an idea," Eon said with a smile. Sky eagerly nodded.

"Yeah! So, there are four statue things, right?" She asked.

"Yes," Chop Chop said with a nod.

"So what if we all split into four groups and meet on the last island to get the Source?" Sky offered. Several Skylanders smiled, as did Eon.

"That will be faster," Stealth Elf noted.

"It also means that we won't lose track of how many we have!" Gill Grunt realized.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Good idea, Sky!" Trigger Happy cackled. "You and Master Eon can meet us at the shrine!"

"Then it appears that will be the plan," Eon said with a nod. The Skylanders took that as confirmation to head off, splitting themselves up as they did so.

"So…how do we get over to the shrine without the monster eating us?" Sky asked.

"Well…I think your Hydra would come in handy," Eon noted. Sky eagerly gasped.

"You mean it?!" She asked, excitement clear in both her tone and voice.

"Of course," Eon replied. "As you know, Portal Masters are not supposed to use portals on themselves. It's only meant as a last resort. So, this would be safer."

"Hang on!" Sky declared as she held her staff up. Within a few seconds, the Hydra appeared overhead. "I've been learning a new spell to summon them!"

"Well done," Eon earnestly noted with a nod as he helped Sky onto the beast's back, before climbing on himself.

"Where too, Master Sky?" One head asked.

"Take us to the shrine over there!" Sky ordered with a point. Eon noted that she was trying her best to sound like him when giving commands and it made him quite pleased.

"You got it, boss!" Another head declared as they flew over. It was a short flight, but the two Portal Masters could see the Skylanders making plenty of progress towards their goal. The large amount of Hob n' Yaros were clearly making things a bit more challenging than the Skylanders would have hoped, but things were clearly going well.

"Whoa!" One of the heads yelled out. Leviathan had attempted to jump for them. Luckily, they were too high in the air to be grabbed. "Think we should head higher up?"

"Please do," Sky requested nervously. Leviathan had very big teeth and she didn't want to see them any closer than she had too. The heads all nodded and flew higher into the air. It didn't matter much, as they were almost to the shine, but it was still good to know for sure that the monster couldn't reach her.

"Here we are!" The lead head declared as he and the rest of his fellows lowered their body to the group. Even once Sky and Eon were on dry land, they remained on guard to protect them from any pirates that wanted to try their luck. And there were quite a few. Still, the Skylanders working together meant that soon, all the statues were together.

"There's a source!" Bash called out. The Eternal Water Source rose out of the water.

"C'mon!" Spyro called out. He, along with Gill Grunt, Trigger Happy, Stealth Elf and Jet-Vac all rush over. Eon, however, sensed something was very off.

"Wait!" He attempted to call after them. But it was to no avail as Leviathan swiftly popped out of the water, swallowing both the source and the Skylanders.

"Are they okay!?" Sky frantically asked.

"One moment!" Eon declared as he used his powers to make a viewing portal. Everyone began shoving each other to see what was going down. The five Skylanders were fine, but found themselves face to face with Kaos's holographic head.

"Well, well, well, look what we have here! A bunch of stupid Skylanders! Ha! And I see you just so happen to be looking for the Eternal Water Source…Correction: MY Eternal Water Source! WELL, you're TOO LATE!" Kaos taunted.

"Yeah right!" Spyro taunted right back. "We're not leaving without that source!"

"YEAH!" The other Skylanders agreed.

"HA! I am KAOS, Emperor of Skylands-and YOU are never getting out of here alive!" Kaos declared before bursting into laughter. "My Evil Water Dragon will take care of you! ATTACK!" Kaos then summoned a corrupted copy of Zap for the five Skylanders to battle.

"Wait, is that supposed to be me?" Zap questioned as he looked over his clone. "He got so much wrong! My horns are not that sharp! And my fangs are bigger than that!"

"I don't think he was trying to be accurate," Eon noted. Dark Skylander clones. That could be a problem in the future. Still, the Skylanders, honed from their constant spars with each other, were able to deal with the Zap clone with no problem.

"So you defeated my minion. BIG deal," Kaos scoffed. "I'm just getting started! I SUMMON the DEADLY SHARK BATH OF DOOOOOOOOMSHARKS!" Within seconds of that declaration, the Skylanders were dodging shark heads Kaos summoned.

"But…they're just sharks?" Sky questioned, confused about the attack's name.

"I think Kaos just has an addiction to saying doom," Slam Bam joked, causing Sky and several Skylanders to snicker.

"Hmm. You seem to be lucky-sort of," Kaos noted once he saw that all the Skylanders currently facing him were still alive. "WELL-your luck has run out! NOW you face my EVIL AMPHIBIOUS GILLMAN!" He burst out laughing once more before summoning an evil clone of Gill Grunt.

"Aw, c'mon!" The real gillman protested. "I look way better than that!"

"Now is not that time to focus on that!" Jet-Vac ordered as he shot a blast of air at the clone. Once again, it didn't take very long for the clone to fall.

"BAH!" Kaos scoffed, trying to hide how annoying he was getting. "You may have bested my Evil Amphibious Gillman for now, but this is far from over-FAR FROM IT! I SUMMON the even DEADLIER SHARK BATH OF DOOOOMSHARKS!"

"So…can the source do that normally?" Hex has to ask as she watches more sharks attack her comrades.

"Not exactly," Eon began to explain. "The sources will only answer to Portal Masters, but what exactly they do depends on the alignment of said Portal Master. It is reacting to Kaos's dark powers, which is why it summoned the sharks." Hex simply nodded in understanding.

"Impossible! You survived my best water spell!" Kaos snapped. Clearly the attack had finished when they finished. He then realized what he just admitted. "Ahem. I MEAN, you survived a very MEDIOCRE water spell I found laying around-somewhere. I am not impressed!"

"Right…" Stealth Elf noted. Kaos snarled.

"And neither is my EVIL ICE YETI! ATTACK!" He roared as Slam Blam's evil copy was summoned.

"I am NOT that hairy!" The real yeti protested as he crossed his arms. All four of them.

"You're fluffy!" Sky replied innocently. Slam Blam decided to not say what he really meant and just gave the kiddo a pat on the head. Once again, the Skylanders took the clone down with little effort.

"Okay…so maybe you're 'slightly good' at fighting my water minions one-on-one." Kaos begrudgingly admitted. "Ha! Let's see how you do against ALL THREE AT ONCE!! HAHAHAHAH!" True to his word, Kaos summoned all the clones back onto the field, while also calling the Doomsharks forth once again. While this round was easily the hardest, the five Skylanders were still able to prevail.

"YES!" Spyro cheered as the final clone vanished.

"Ahh! My minions! My beautiful minions! GRRRR!" Kaos snapped. "Fine! Take it-take the Eternal Water Source, FOOL! See if I care! SOON-you too will FEAR MY GIANT FLOATING HEAD like everyone else!-Then you will pay!" Kaos then vanished, leaving the source for the Skylanders.

"Um…how do we get out of here?" Stealth Elf had to ask. Almost as soon as she finished the question, Leviathan spat them and the Source out. "Well that works." Eon and Sky rushed over to collect the source before it could vanish again.


Everyone watched as the Eternal Water Source inserted itself straight into the group. The center pillar rose up, which caused the Twin Spouts to begin spraying water. They were slowly getting closer.


Unlike the Skylanders, Kaos was very much NOT pleased at the moment.

Or at least that's what Glumshanks was expecting.

He wasn't expecting to see his boss happily laughing, that was for sure.

"Um, Master?" He had to ask. "Is everything alright?"

"Of course everything is alright!" Kaos replied. "Why wouldn't everything be alright?"

"Well, I just thought that since the Skylanders got the Eternal Water Source-" Glumshank began, only to get cut off.

"HA! Do you hear me?! I say HA!" Kaos declared. "Those fools think they're winning! Well they're not! Know why!?"

"Why?" Glumshanks earnestly asked.

"Because the Darkness is spreading, Glumshanks!" Kaos proudly declared. "No matter their feeble attempts to rebuild Eon's machine, I AM STILL WINNING!" Kaos then began another round of evil laughing before taking another bite of his chicken…and then choking on it, causing him to once again fall off his portal. Glumshanks rolled his eyes.

"Now is everything alright?" Glumshank asked.

"Heimlich!" Kaos begged, earning himself another eye roll from his minion.


Writing Kaos is still so much fun. Anyways, see you all soon! Also, TEAM ROCK FOR THE WIN BABY!
