The Arkeyan Crystal

by D.J. Scales

An Ancient Crystal kept by the Arkeyan Empire has been shattered and the forces of Darkness seek to use it's power to destroy the world. The Skylanders must team up with the Arkeyans to stop Malefor from using the Crystal to take over the world but with tension between the groups the task won't be easy. Set in my own JTeens Universe after JTeens the Darkness Strikes.

3. The Air Crystal

The Wind Crystal

On Planet Earth, Luna and team were finished making their rounds across the planet. Currently the entire universe bowed down to the Arkeyan Empire ever since the Shadow Dragons tore the planet apart.

"So far all of creation bows down to us," Link said, "And nothing anybody says or does is gonna change that."

"Not even that skank Alex," sneered Flannery "Just let her show up and we'll impale her on a stick and roast her."

"I vote we feed her to the sharks," said Marlon, "Just like we did to our enemies before Alex revived them via the Eternal Dragon."

"Relax will you," Roark said, "Shenron's gone, Skylus can only revive somebody three times, and Genghis isn't reviving enemies of the Arkeyan Empire or those who are related to enemies of the Arkeyan Empire unless he has good reason."

"Which means if anybody dares to defy the Arkeyan Weapon Masters then they're gonna suffer an even worse fate than that stupid lizard," snapped Jasmine as the entire planet was forced to bear witness to Shendu's Final Punishment of eternal torture at the hands of the Entire Arkeyan Empire past present and future until the end of creation.

"Oh that reminds me," said Kayleigh "It's almost time to watch the empire beat up on therapists who assist bullies and ignore their own kids."

Kayleigh summoned a magic circle as the team watched the Phantom Arkeyans go ape shit upon Fiona and all the therapists around the world as well as all their relatives.

"Serves that malicious slut and her bastard brother right for betraying Sophie," hissed Luna, "Now they're rotting away in the Inferno."

"Just like that idiot ex ruler of Avalon for stabbing his own daughter and Ice in the back!" roared Erika before composing herself, "Good thing we gave the Emperor's younger cousin all of Avalon to rule over otherwise this would've never worked."

As Luna and her team laughed maliciously and rudely they continued making rude remarks about the final punishments of their enemies all the way back to Woodburrow.

"Curtin up," Luna said, "Woodburrow is at peace and Kaos is history."

"Unless we're about to get some bad news involving Kaos from Tessa," said Roark as Tessa herself arrived.

"Hey Tessa how goes life as the new Chieftess of Woodburrow?" Marlon asked.

"It's tough but it's going good so far," Tessa said, "So far things have been quite dull since our previous adventure."

"Yeah but at least the Doom Raiders are finally behind bars," said Erika.

"True but there's more bad news," Tessa said, "It involves the Arkeyan Crystal. Emperor Drake wants you and the Dragon Skylanders to search for it. He was gonna call the JTeens but they're busy today so it falls to you."

"Well if we all go as a huge group then we won't have time to find the Sub Crystals before Kaos rips all of Skylands apart," said Luna, "Which means we're gonna have to split up into teams."

"Fortunately the Crystals are in the same resting places as the Eternal Sources were," said Link, "Which means I'm heading out to the Stormy Stronghold with the Skylanders of the Air Element."

The Air Element Skylanders nodded as they all followed Link into battle.

"One more thing," said Whirlwind, "What about the Superchargers?"

"They have to stop Kaos," said Roark, "And we've gotta get moving."

The other Arkeyans nodded as they bolted for their assigned locations.

At the Stormy Stronghold Link and the Air Element Skylanders arrived with the plan to reclaim the Air Element Crystal.

"Here we are," Whirlwind said, "The Stormy Stronghold."

"Never thought we'd end up back here again," said Sonic Boom.

"What did you expect?" Link said, "Let's go. The Air Crystal awaits. The sooner we get it the sooner we can take it to New Camelot."

The team got the message as they flew to where the Eternal Air Source rested. Unfortunately they ran into some problems in the form some Shadowkhan that Malefor had sent in to slow them down. Fortunately thanks to teamwork and agility Link and the Air Element Skylanders were able to defeat them and get the Air Crystal.

"Alright here's the crystal," Swarm said, "Now let's get out of here."

As if responding to Swarm's statement the Crystal glowed as it teleported itself Link and the Air Skylanders out of the Stormy Stronghold.

Meanwhile in the Armada Flagship Malefor, Avarona, and Vrak saw everything.

"Vrak what's the progress on the remaining Crystal locations?" Malefor asked.

"I've sent Shadowkhan to secure the remaining locations," said Vrak, "That should take care of those Arkeyans and Skylanders for now."

"Which leaves the issue of the new Superchargers," said Avarona. "I'm surprised they weren't with the new Skylanders."

"The Superchargers are not our problem for the moment," Malefor said, "Our biggest problem is the Dragon Realm's guardian. So far She and the Arkeyans don't see eye to eye which is good cause it saves us the trouble of eliminating her."

"Then shall we give Ayumi some extra help to beat her to a pulp?" Vrak asked.

"You and Avarona will go to the Dragon Realm and take a message to my dimensional counterpart," said Malefor, "Let him know that the Armada is awaiting."

"Yes boss," Avarona said knowing that Malefor's plan was going to work.
