After a few minutes, Flynn managed to upgrade his balloon with the propeller. As he and the Air Skylanders approached the Stormy Stronghold, Warnado was horrified, and amazed, at what he saw. A giant twister was ripping the castle apart! "It's just like the one I hatched in…" He said, astounded. It also looked like the tornado that destroyed Shattered Island. Flynn took a random guess. "Maybe those Drow buddies found the Eternal Air Source first." He said. "I guess this is the resulting failure after they tried to harness its power." "We gotta get that source!" Whirlwind said. "Any ideas?" "Well, we might be able to lower those lightning pylons." Lightning Rod said. "It should at least calm the twister down long enough for us to rebuild the bridge." "Then let's do it." Sonic Boom said sternly. "We don't have time to waste." The four managed to catch a miniature wind vortex that blasted them towards each pylon. With each pylon down, the tornado managed to quell down, and the bridge and castle were rebuilt. At the very center was a blue clear orb with a miniature twister inside: The Eternal Air Source! Quickly, the four raced to the castle to collect it, but an army of Drows, accompanied by Air Spell Punks and Windbag Djinnis, were all that stood in their way. Soon, Drow Spearmen, Drow Witches, and even Goliath Drow fell defeated by their allies, unable to withstand loud screeches, baby griffins, mini tornados, hard shells, lightning, storm clouds, and rainbows. Now, the Eternal Air Source was in the hands of the Skylanders. Now, to return to the Ruins and begin building the Core of Light!
Once back at the Ruins, the Skylanders saw Eon's Spirit emerge! "Well done!" He said. "Your retrieval of the first Eternal Elemental Source has summoned me back to these ruins. There is strong magic in this place, and by its power, the Eternal Sources know how to combine their power with the ancient machinery of this island to recreate the Core of Light." Whirlwind put the Air Source in the center of the blueprints. "I've never seen how the Core was built before." She said. "I know." Spyro said. "None of us have." Then, a massive whirlwind formed, and drew forth two stony statues on floating platforms. The two statues stepped forward, and the gust revealed a bronzy plate in the ground. The Core of Light had begun its reconstruction.
"WHAT?!" Kaos yelled. He was so stunned that he fell off the portal he was standing on. "They found the Eternal Air Source?!" Then, he noticed something else. "EHH?! WHA?! Is that…? EON?! But how?! I thought I killed him! Wait a minute. He doesn't have a body! So, he IS dead! But maybe someone's helping him! Other than those pesky Skyblanders, of course. But who?! And what are they up to!? Waaaaiiiiitttt…. Maybe there's another Portal Master! And they have one of the Eternal Elemental Sources, then that means…..." Kaos's eyes widened in shock. "WHHAAAAAAATTTTTTTT?! They're rebuilding the Core of Light?! I can't let that happen! I've got to tell my armies about this! They must find those other Eternal Sources before those Skyfools do!"
Meanwhile, back at the Ruins while Hugo was planning the next move, Gill Grunt, Slam Bam, Zap, and Wham Shell were investigating some sort of ruckus in the docks. Gill Grunt was a Gillman armed with a harpoon gun who hadn't given up on his search for his mermaid girlfriend, who was kidnapped by pirates. Slam Bam was a four-armed yeti with ice powers whose glacier was set adrift by Kaos. Zap was a water dragon with electric powers who was raised by electric eels. Wham Shell was a crustacean being with a magical mace that shot starfish bullets and was also the king of his underwater kingdom. Then, Gill heard voices. "If you're gonna eat me, you should know that I'm really salty and kinda high in cholesterol." "Ifb u arr eat me, I'b saltby and phat too! EHEHEHEHEHE!" "Oh great. Someone get me out of here!" "Summon getty underwear! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" When the four investigated, they saw a Gillman locked up in a cell, guarded by a Lockmaster Imp! "Woah. I didn't know this place had a cell." Gill said. He rushed over to save his fellow Gillman and the Imp retreated into his lock. After a few minutes, Gill was able to break the Gillman out. "Holy Carp, that was close!" "How'd you get here, anyway?" "Well, I came looking for you, but I ended up in this cell, and was almost made into Gillman Goulash!" "So, what's your name, fellow Gillman?" "Gurglefin." Gill was stunned. "Uhh, Gesundheit?" "No, Gurglefin's my name!" "Oh! Right! Sorry!" "Anyway, I come from a nearby island where trolls have enslaved my people! Will you please help me?" Wham Shell narrowed his eyes. Trolls had invaded his kingdom for oil, but he fended them off. Gill, meanwhile, was part of the Gillman Military, and vowed to protect all Gillman. He would not break that promise. So, the four of them agreed, and took Gurglefin's boat to Oilspill Island. "Oh yeah, and by the way," Gurglefin added. "You might wanna hold onto something." Gill was confused. "Why would we want to do thaAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Suddenly, the ship plunged off the island! Then, the boat flew off into the skies. "Whew. I keep forgetting boats in Skylands can do that." Gill sighed, relieved.
