Rampant Ruins
At the Rampant Ruins the heroes could see the area was being dug up by Kaos' forces in search of the petrified Darkness used to create the Evilizers.
"Are you sure this is the place?" Colleen asked Roark as they were flying on his partner dragon Hyouta this time.
"This is the Place Colleen," Roark retorted, "And the only reason Hyouta is even tolerating you right now is for the sake of stopping Kaos."
"That guy has caused untold problems in all of Skylands for centuries," Hyouta growled, "And he had the nerve to team up with your enemies. I for one am glad the Arkeyan Empire rules over all of creation including the earth."
"You tell them Hyouta," Roark said much to the joy of the Arkeyans.
"This is the Dig site that Snagglescale was talking about," Tessa said. "I hope the Skylanders can find some way of stopping whoever's behind this."
"Piece of Cake," Flynn said, "The Skylanders and I have been through sticker situations than this."
"It's true we fight the forces of darkness on a daily basis," Ice said, "And we've got the Arkeyan Empire on our side."
"All we need to do is figure out how to stop the forces of darkness from creating more Evilizers," Jasmine said, "And I think I know where to begin. Land here."
So Hyouta landed where Jasmine told him to land and they made their way to the Iron Tomb Trail where Skylanders of the Air Element were stronger. Chrissie took the lead with Whirlwind and Free Ranger leading the attack. They found themselves at a dual elemental gate so they sent Hoot Kraken in to explore it while they pressed on ahead to the Gibbon Antechamber where Skylanders of the Life Element were stronger and that meant Cody was to take lead with Camo and Stink Bomb leading the attack.
"Is it just me or does it seem odd that we're using a stone monkey to stop the forces of darkness?" Roark asked as Cody was leading the way through the Gibbon Antechamber.
"We've used weirder stuff than that," Cody said as they found themselves facing down Evilized Sugar Bats.
"Enough with the stories we can save them for later," Camo snapped as the Swap Force found themselves at the Orangutan Tower. "We should be talking about the conquest of the Arkeyan Empire and how the Arkeyans are already planning to select a candidate to replace King Ramses at Dragon's Peak should the Emperor despise him enough to have him killed just because of Vathek's actions against the Arkeyan Empire."
"Camo the last thing we need is a Civil War among the Dragons," Whirlwind sighed as they pressed onwards eventually finding themselves facing down an Arkeyan Rip Rotor.
"Jesus Christ the Empire's robots are turning against us?" Ice asked stunned as they fended off the Arkeyan Robot.
"It's the Petrified Darkness," Chrissie said, "This place was once a Graveyard for the Arkeyan Robots."
"Well this Graveyard is about to become a battlefield," Ice said as he, Blast Zone and Sunburn took lead since they were in the Simian Temple section of the Ruins and Fire Element Skylanders were stronger in that zone. "Speaking of which think the brat will die in prison of old age?"
"Make it death at the hands of the worst of the worst at Chor Gum Prison," Drago added as he Hsi Wu, Ice, and all the Arkeyan Sorcerers and Swap Force Skylanders as well as most of the Dragon Skylanders laughed loudly at that even as they fought off some Arkeyan Slam Shots before continuing onwards.
Eventually the team then made their way to the Simian Throne Room where Skylanders of the Fire Element were stronger. They noticed an Earth Element gate so they sent in Bash and Cody to check it out while Ice Sunburn and Blast Zone continued onwards through the Simian Throne Room.
"Here we are the Guardian's lookout," Roark said, "Skylanders of the Earth Element are stronger here."
"Guess I better take lead," Cody said as he Bash and Doom Stone took the lead in attacking enemies that stood in their way till they found themselves staring down Evil Glumshanks.
"Oh scales it's Kaos' butler," Hyouta sighed, "Roark and I will distract him. The rest of you try to get past that force field."
Roark got on Hyouta's back and began to distract Evil Glumshanks as their team was busy getting to the Stone Monkey. Once they found it they began to activate the light beams before jumping to the Monkey Monk's Pit to activate the second beam.
"Rattle Shake and I will lead along with Ice since Skylanders of the Undead Element are Stronger in this zone," Cynder said as she Rattle Shake and Ice began to fight off the robots in the area as they got to the second light beam which was located in the Eastern Watch, an area where Skylanders of the Undead Element were also stronger.
"I gotta say the Skylanders of the Undead Element are personally my favorite yet," Hsi Wu said.
"And when this is over we're going to check on some Prisons built by the Arkeyan Empire for thousands of years," Zap added as they somehow got the Monkey Statue activated to pummel Evil Glumshanks.
"Oh no what did the wicked monkey do to you?" Glumshanks said to himself, "Wait a minute what would Kaos do? I know he'd use Plan Z!"
Glumshanks got the machines fired up as he drove into a pit.
"Brace yourselves guys this is going to be a very long fight," Cody said as Roark and Hyouta joined them for the match against Evil Glumshanks.
At first Evil Glumshanks tried to ram the heroes via the Spikes but the heroes dodged them and attacked the machine doing heavy damage to Glumshanks. When he was nearly at a quarter of his health he began to summon enemies but that didn't make a difference as they continued to kick ass till the darkness faded.
"Gha! Pull yourself together Glumshanks," Glumshanks said to himself, "You're evil enough now. Do you want to go back to washing Kaos' dirty socks? This is your shot! Oh who am I kidding."
The machine then blasted Glumshanks off as the JTeens and the Skylanders celebrated.
Back at Kaos' Fortress Glumshanks came back singed much to the surprise of Malefor, Kaos and Vrak
"Glumshanks what are you doing here?" Kaos asked.
"Never mind that you're not evilized anymore," Malefor snapped. "Oh and Kaos your mother is back."
"I knew we should've taken a more subtle approach," Vrak grumbled.
Kaos turned to see his Mother was on the magic mirror.
"You know Vrak's got a point," Kaos' Mom said, "When I attacked the Cloudbreak Isles 100 years ago with a swarm of fire vipers at my command I managed to get the Swap Force banished leaving the Isles unprotected for 100 years. Now they're back thanks to your all out invasion Kaos."
"At least when I pulled out an all out invasion I had more success," Malefor said, "And I'll use the Shadowkhan to finish them off. But first I think a little Jail Break is in order and I'll have one of my Dragon Generals lead the Jail Break. Avarona!"
An Ice Blue female Dragon appeared before Malefor and knelt before him.
"You called Malefor?" Avarona said.
"Fly to the Arkeyan Prisons and break out the Empire's most hated enemies and bring them to me at once," Malefor said, "I've got a little plan in store to stick it to those stupid Arkeyan Mages!"
"Malefor are you sure you want to piss of the Arkeyan Empire even more?" Glumshanks warned.
"Quiet Glusmshanks," Vrak said , "Malefor's plan is genius and once he puts it into action the Arkeyans will be too busy to notice what I've got in store."
"Yes Lord Malefor," Avarona said flying off to do just that.
Back in Woodburrow Rufus and Sophie were already praising the heroes.
"Welcome back to Woodburrow," Rufus said, "News of your heroism has spread across the Cloudbreak Isles and many have offered to help in anyway they can."
"We could use all the help we can get at this point but where are the Arkeyans?" Hyouta asked.
"Emperor Drake's in a meeting with the Arkeyan Governors about tightening Security around Chor Gum Prison and Hell's Gate Prison and his sisters have gone to check on the security at the prisons themselves," Sophie explained, "Personally I hope they torment the brat and her friends till the end of creation as well as that piece of shit Fiona for that matter. She's nothing but a back stabbing traitor and if you ask me she deserves to rot in hell for all eternity and so does Finn for that matter for stabbing me in the back as well as everyone who took the side of my worst enemies!"
The Arkeyans were glad to see that Kayleigh's newly adoptive cousin was firmly on their side as were all the Swap Force Skylanders as well as those who supported the Arkeyan Empire as they continued talking about how things had gotten better since the Arkeyan Empire officially ruled all of Skylands and the Universe.
