"Sending another search party would mean putting many more skylanders at risk, their very lives on the line! And with diminishing numbers, leaving them a weaker target for the forces of evil that still were present in Skylands. "I understand the risks i am taking by making this decision, but i do not see another way around it", Eon searched through the documents placing each paper out on his desk of where her possible residency would be, the possible routes shed. The reports from other skylanders came from Earth but from different continents. So tracking her would be difficult. Hugo looked puzzled but well aware that Eon wouldn't be talked down from this mission. He read what he could, or more, what he wanted to read. The background and current actions from their lost student made him uneasy so he'd just skim through them and put them down.

"Who would you want me to assign this mission to?", Hugo gulped and though it never would be him to get a mission like this he was still shaking, his paws were shaky and clammy. At least have it be Spyro, Hugo thought, he's been lig-lagging on his work lately and maybe telling him if he returned alive he would get a 70% for his next quiz or if he returned with Her alive he will have a passing grade! Yeah it sounded reasonable, right? But then again he wouldn't be stupid enough to go on a suicide mission. In fact, it doesn't seem like anybody would. So how was he going to convince a skylander to go?

The following day across the academy were posters hung announcing:

Raffle tonight at 7PM

Four WInnners Will Be Picked at Random

Held at The Front of The Academy

There Will Be Real Neat Prizes

!FREE FOOD!

The free food seemed to catch the attention better than the announcement of Neat Prizes, and around 6 P.M. the academy was flooded with mabu's and Skylanders. They crowded the tables with appetizers, drinks, candy, etc. A bell rung announcing the beginning of the raffle, by this time everything was lit, there were colorful lanterns and neon signs decorating the academy. Flynn was the one to walk over to the speaker and grab the attention of the spectators after that a pair of mabu's brought out a Bingo Ball Machine. Before the event began the guests were given a ticket with a number and told if their number was called to make their way towards the academy door.

"Thank you all for attending! Now lets get to these prizes..hehe", Hugo said, the entire room was silent. He began rolling the cage four times until a numbered ball rolled out. The first number called was 14, "Wohoo!", Storm Blade shouted in excitement from the far left of the audience. The next was 47, Pop Fizz was picked and he ran up to the academy enthusiastic about what his prize would be, he stumbled over several objects on the floor. The following number called was 18, "Whoow!", Snapshot was next pick. He made his way up the academies steps and stood by the other three winners. The final number picked was 97, that was Wolfgangs. He rushed up onto that stage alongside the others.

Flynn was in on what was happening and lead the winning skylanders to where Eon would be waiting for them. Towards 9 P.M. the rest of the skylanders started to leave, some overstocking on the food. Storm Blade, Pop Fizz, Snapshot, and Wolfgang were now all at the observatory. Maybe their prize would include a far away trip? Or they would be the first to explore a new land? they thought. Their imaginations getting the best of them.

"Ah my fellow SKylanders, it fills me with great pride and honor to have you four as the bravest of the soldiers we have here", Eon said with gusto in his voice. "Are we finally getting a statue made for us?" Pop Fizz asked but Storm Blade was starting to question this, We just won a raffle why did Eon say we were the bravest of his students?

"What? Oh no but if you return from your mission we might as well have one built for all four of you", Eon had everything scattered on his desk about their lost soldier, as well as a few other trinkets. "What mission? I thought we were here for what we won? Oh i get it, you're lowering our hopes before you hit us with the great news of what await us!" Storm asked, and the rest nodded in agreement with her.

"Well i wouldn't say it would be great news yet but here take these trackers", Eon brought up the trinkets he had on the desk and gave one to each of them. Once placed it gave off their names, location, and time. "Is this all were getting?", Pop asked disappointed to only gain a watch out of all this. "For now yes, until i get the rest of the items from Mags", Eon went over to the desk and opened the documents he had bought.

"What about the prizes? We were promised Amazing Prizes?", Wolfgang asked waving the poster he had bought with him and showed to Eon. "I don't know about this? Where did you get this from?" They explained to him how there was a raffle out-front, how they won and how did he not hear the music, cheering, or see the lights flashing outside? Hugo waddled in and had them all stare in his direction. "Hugo, Is this how you chose the following skylanders?"

"Yeeeess-OH Im sorry Master Eon but i knew nobody was going to volunteer so i had to improvise!" Alright well if they weren't winning anything what were they chosen for? The skylanders, though now confused, were also nervous that they were chosen for some mission obvious to dangerous to even mention in the open. "Can someone please tell us whats going on!?" Snap Shot snapped and demanded answers. The tension in the room grew thick with the anxiety of the squad and the fact neither Hugo nor Eon wished to say what it was about. Maybe if Hugo would have informed Eon on this then they could have put them on a portal labeled Vocational getaway then dump them on Earth. But that seemed to much that would cost him his Skylanders' trust so it would be better to come clean and tell them what this was all about.

"I am sending you four to Earth in search of Eclipser", He finally stated, his tone low.

"What!"
