The upcoming day for Sprocket began as usual; busy. The Tech Skylander just finished fixing the damaged vehicles and already got a new task. She headed to the library, where a new problem recently occurred. Besides having to replace a window, she also had to fix the fountain which has been completely dry since yesterday. The engineer arrived at the library and was awaited by the Dark Supercharger Nightfall.

"Nightfall? What are you doing here?" Sprocket was surprised to be greeted by the gloomy Skylander, who she barely ever talked to.

"I'm here to help you fix the window and fountain." Nightfall's mask made her voice sound raspy and almost distorted, it always made her sound neutral and have the same tone. "Everyone else was busy."

"Tell me about it." Sprocket attempted to smile, but after seeing no reaction from Nightfall she decided to stay serious. "So, where's the new window?"

"On its way." The Supercharger always answered short and direct. "It should be here in five minutes."

Sprocket looked over to the fountain. The reflected sunlight from the dry white stone was almost blinding. "Then let's take a look at this."

The Tech Skylander put her goggles on and observed the fountain carefully. There wasn't any visible damage and she soon figured that there must be a problem with the connection to the water source.

"Nightfall?" She called her partners name to get her attention. "Do you know a way to get to the pipes that connect the fountain to the water source?"

"Of course." The Skylander nodded. "It's right underneath us."

Sprocket looked at her with a blank expression and then at the ground. "But there's no door leading down."

Nightfall suddenly grabbed Sprocket and held her tight, before diving into a dark pool created by her hair. Sprocket found herself inside of the island they were just standing on and looked at all the pipes connected to the fountain with fascination.

"I don't need doors." Nightfall added bluntly.

"Incredible…" The tech-loving Skylander was blown away by the mechanics and parts she had never seen before. "Now let's see where the problem is!"

With determination, Sprocket started to investigate the pipes and made sure that there were no leaks for the water to pour through. She touched the main pipe with her hands and suddenly felt a tingling coldness, which was going all the way back to the source.

"Something's not right." Sprocket used her wrench to knock onto the pipes. While the half leading to the fountain sounded hollow, the other half leading to the source seemed to be completely solid. "It seems there's a problem coming from the source, like there's something… inside."

Nightfall wasn't nearly as impressed as Sprocket by the whole situation, but nevertheless tried to be helpful. "Why don't you open it?"

"I… could do that, but that may cause the whole room to get flooded." Sprocket always thought twice when doing her job.

"Even when it's solid and there's no water coming through?" Nightfall's question seemed more rhetorical than serious.

"… You're right." Sprocket finally agreed and screwed a section of the pipe open. What she saw had her in shock. "Ice!?"

Before Sprocket could continue, the Skylanders heard someone calling their names on top of the island.

"That must be the window. I'll get it." Nightfall told the confused engineer before creating another dark portal to reach the surface.

Meanwhile, Sprocket thought of a way to get rid of the ice and let the water flow again. "I can't melt or break through the ice. I don't think I can fix this on my own." Sprocket was talking to herself before finally having an idea. "I know who can help!" She was about to leave the underground facility before remembering that there are no doors.
"Uh, Nightfall? Could you possibly get me out of here?" Instead of getting an answer, the goldling was grabbed by a string of Nightfall's hair and pulled through the earth. Sprocket shuddered after that experience, but then continued with her plan. "I need to get someone! You can stay here and fix the window in the meantime." Nightfall watched the energetic Skylander leave before looking at the window next to her without any emotions.

Sprocket soon arrived at the entrance of the Fire Realm. Normally, everyone who wasn't of the Fire Element would have to wear a special suit to protect them from the deadly heat. Since Sprocket was a goldling, she was able to resist high temperatures without any suit. The engineer headed directly to the Scorching Vault, where the blacksmiths worked on new weapons and upgraded tools. Today there was only one Skylander in the vault and it was exactly who Sprocket was looking for.

"Torch!" Sprocket approached the blacksmith who was busy forging a weapon.

The humanoid with flaming hair stopped and took her mask off to properly talk to the visitor. "Hey Sprocket! What's up?"

"I came here to ask you for a favor." Sprocket was afraid that she was interrupting the blacksmith but asked her anyway. "There's a small issue with one of the fountains at the Academy. The water in the pipe is completely frozen and I thought you could use your flamethrower to-"

"Say no more!" Torch didn't even let the Tech Skylander finish and grabbed her trusty flamethrower. "I would love to help! And honestly I have nothing better do here anyway."

"Great!" Sprocket was happy that she found someone to help. "Nightfall is waiting for us by the library."

Torch was surprised to hear that name. "Nightfall?"

"I was as surprised as you are." Sprocket was referring to Nightfall offering her help. "She said everyone else was busy."

Torch equipped her flamethrower and was ready to leave. "Isn't Nightfall the one who's always busy?"

Sprocket started to walk alongside the Fire Skylander. "I guess she isn't busy when everyone else is." Both laughed and headed back to the Academy.

It didn't take Sprocket and Torch long to reach the library. They arrived to see Nightfall standing in front of a sparkling new window that clearly stood out from the rest.

"Wow, Nightfall!" Sprocket didn't expect the silent Supercharger to fix the window that well. "The window looks great!"

"Thanks." The dreadwalker's response was dry as usual, but she was glad that she could help. "I see you brought Torch with you."

Torch found it strange to point out the obvious, but nevertheless tried to smile. "Hi."

"She's here to help us with the fountain!" Sprocket gently hit her friend's back. "Her flamethrower is exactly what we need here."

"I understand." Once again, Nightfall grabbed the two Skylanders and transported all of them back inside the island, where the pipes from the fountain are located.

Torch almost tripped over after being released by Nightfall's grip. This was the first time the blacksmith traveled through hair. "Do you do that to everyone you meet?"

"If it's necessary." Nightfall kept her eyes on Torch who was still shocked and slightly terrified.

At the same time, Sprocket walked towards the frozen pipe and pointed it out with her wrench. "Our problem is right here."

Torch followed the engineer to take a look at the ice inside of the pipe. "I assume you want me to get rid of it with my flamethrower?"

"Exactly!" The Tech Skylander put her goggles on to protect her eyes from the flames. "Just point the opening of it at the pipe and the ice will be gone in no time!"

The Fire Skylander nodded and did as Sprocket said. Nightfall was further in the back, observing the operation in silence. Finally, Torch turned her weapon on and shot a string of fire right through the pipe. Sprocket smiled with joy after seeing the ice melt and the water flow again. She quickly connected the pipe to the other half and tried to close it with her wrench. The sudden momentum of the water streaming again made the pipe to heavy and it crashed to the floor, while the water continued to pour through.

"Oh no." Sprocket looked at the disaster in terror and started to panic. "What should we do now!"

Torch was as distressed as her friend and attempted to put the broken pipe back into place, but without success. "It isn't working! We have to stop the water!"

Nightfall remained silent and didn't bother to help the other two. Instead she floated towards the water source, which was located underneath the center of the Academy.

Sprocket soon noticed the Dark Skylander's absence and became furious. "Did Nightfall just leave!?" The Skylander could recognize something floating into the distance. It wasn't until she took her goggles off that she saw Nightfall leaving them behind, while the water was filling up the inside of the island. "Nightfall!"

Sprocket sprinted after the Supercharger, who already reached the water source. Before Sprocket could confront her, Nightfall used her hair to turn all the water in the tank into liquid darkness. The water at the end of the pipe vanished, while Nightfall was trying to contain the dark substance she created.

"Go fix the pipe." Nightfall's voice was shaking due to the amount of energy she had to invest in keeping the water contained.

Sprocket was amazed but rushed back to the pipe without hesitation. "We need to fix this right now!"

Torch helped the technician to put the pipe back into place. She didn't quite understand what's going on and started to question Sprocket. "What happened? Where did the water go?"

"No time to explain!" Sprocket finally connected the pipes with the help of the blacksmith, but realized that they wouldn't hold for too long. Her mind was processing countless ideas, until she finally knew what to do. "Torch! Use your flamethrower to fuse the pipes together!"

Torch's expression shifted from confused to determined and the Skylander directed her weapon at the pipes. She covered them in flames to connect them once and for all. "Done!"

As soon as the two Skylanders were finished, Nightfall couldn't hold the water anymore and let it flow through the pipes again. There were no leaks and no ice anymore and it functioned properly again. Nightfall joined the group again, appearing as if nothing happened at all.
The dreadwalker created another portal on the ground, allowing the remaining water to leave the inside of the island and pour into the infinite skies instead.

"Thanks." Sprocket was very grateful for the dreadwalker's help. She realized that she does care after all, even if she doesn't show it.

"You're welcome." Nightfall grabbed Torch and Sprocket once again to return them onto the island.

The team saw the fountain in all its glory again, with crystal clear water streaming out of it. Sprocket looked at her companions and couldn't help but giggle after seeing Torch.

"Torch… you're-" Sprocket had to laugh before finishing her sentence.

Torch was confused again and looked at the Tech Skylander irritated. "What? What is it?"

"You're bald." Nightfall finished Sprocket's sentence, realizing that the water extinguished the fire on the blacksmith's head.

The Fire Skylander looked upwards, before her whole face blushed. She did a quick head flip to ignite the flames on top of her scalp again. "Let's never talk about this again." She soon smiled alongside Sprocket and they went on with their day.

The day has come to an end once again and the Skylanders laid to rest. Everyone but Enigma, who once again got inside an air balloon while making sure that no one noticed him. What he didn't know is that Stealth Elf has been waiting for him. She was invisible and watched as the Trap Master entered the balloon. This time however, the Life Skylander carefully joined the mysterious mage and pushed herself against the side of the basket as much as she could. The aircraft took off before Enigma summoned the same laser as last time to lead the path. Stealth Elf silently wondered where he would take them, but she was prepared for anything.
