The Fire Crystal

In the Lava Lakes Railway Flannery and the Skylanders of the Fire Element were looking for the Fire Sub Crystal. Sunburn, Flameslinger, Eruptor, and Ignitor couldn't believe that the Crystal had been sent to the same location that the Eternal Fire Source was located.

"What are the odds that we'd be coming back here?" Sunburn asked.

"Try a million to one," said Flameslinger, "I never thought the Fire Crystal would be here."

"Wait a minute," Hot Head said, "You've been here before?"

"Yeah to claim the Eternal Fire Source," said Eruptor, "We needed it to rebuild the Core of Light after Kaos called his Hydra to destroy it the first time."

"Well that would explain the massive explosion that hit all of Skylands last year," said Flannery.

"Yep and while the Core of Light was disabled the Darkness began spreading across all of Skylands," Ignitor said, "Even as far as the Cloudbreak Isles."

"Fortunately with help from Rose, Sara, and the JTeens we were able to rebuild the Core of Light and Defeat the Darkness," Eruptor said before sighing, "We used to be friends now we're falling apart."

"Thanks to the brat," Snapped Sunburn, "She dishonored our people and the parents only made things worse and then Kaos and the Armada teamed up with our enemies!"

"When this is over I can't wait till the day we finally give Malefor and the armada as well as his team the boot," said Flannery, "Then my people and I can resume our rule over all of Skylands."

The Fire Element Skylanders all kept silent as they and Flannery made their way through the Lava Lakes Railway. Fortunately for them they were taking the train so it was easy for them to get as far as they could to the source.

"This is the easiest Crystal we'll probably get," said Fire Kraken, "Fortunately for us it's just a simple walk to where the Eternal Fire Source was located and we'll be home free."

"Careful Fire Kraken," said Blast Zone, "In my years before joining the Skylanders one thing I've learned is that a mission like this is never that easy."

Once the group were close to the Crystal the Lava began bubbling heavily as Lava based monsters emerged and began to attack the team.

"Like I said," Blast Zone replied while using his bombs to attack a fire monster, "It's never that easy."

"Yeah you made your point Blast Zone," said Ka Boom as he was using his traptanium weapon to blast away the lava monsters.

Flannery was using her blade skills to slice up some Lava monsters while the other Fire Element Skylanders were using their abilities to fight off the waves of Lava Monsters.

"Where's Spitfire when you need him?" asked Flameslinger

"He's training the new Superchargers to be Skylanders and the Emperor is even calling in two new allies from another dimension to help us," said Eruptor, "And there's more. Some of us might be chosen to join the Super Chargers."

"Really?" Flannery asked, "Whose gonna be selected?"

"It's up to the rift engines to decide," Ignitor spoke, "Spyro mentioned before we left."

"Well let's hope we can get back there and see who the Rift Engines choose," replied Flannery, "Hopefully our counterparts in Alex's dimension have been busy working on a way to take the Dragon Realm back from Malefor."

"We can have Eon go check in on them after we finish up here," said Wildfire as he used his shield to block attacks and protect Flannery while Ka-Boom and Flameslinger continued to lead the offense with long range attacks with Blast Zone assisting them.

The waves were tough but Flannery and the Fire Element Skylanders continued to fight back until the last wave of Lava Monsters was defeated.

"Let's just get the Crystal and get out of here," said Flannery as she grabbed the Crystal which in turn caused the crystal to teleport the group back to New Camelot.

Once they were back at New Camelot Flannery went to go find Spitfire so as to have a word with him.

Meanwhile in the hospital of Alex's home dimension, Alex had quickly recovered from her injuries due to the fact that she had training to wield multiple elements. Once she was outside she went to the front desk to check herself out.

"Well you're cleared to leave but I suggest you take it easy," said the Clerk.

"Thanks for the advice but with my home in the wrong hands I need to get back there and protect it," Alex replied, "By the way who brought me into the hospital when I was out cold?"

"Somebody by the name of Ayumi," the Clerk said much to Alex's shock.

"You're kidding right?"

"No I'm not. She actually seemed generally concerned about your own wellbeing before her own and here's the odd part. She was actually an Arkeyan Mage from the Radiant Isles."

"Where is she?" Alex asked wanting answers from Ayumi.

"She's outside right now," the Clerk spoke as Alex went outside to find Ayumi leaning against the post.

"Back on your feet already," Ayumi spoke, "I'm surprised. I didn't think you could heal so fast after the damage that Malefor handed you."

"Never mind that I got a couple of questions," said Alex, "When Malefor had me destroyed you could've eliminated me like your bosses wanted you to yet you did not why?"

"Arkeyan Bylaws," said Ayumi simply, "We don't attack opponents that were already attacked. There's no honor in that."

"Okay then let me ask you another question," Alex replied, "Even though the Governors said that I just made myself an enemy of the Arkeyan Empire you still choose to take me to the hospital instead of leaving me to rot."

"Like I said. We may be brutish, hypocritical, and close minded as you say we are but we have standards," Ayumi spoke although as she did Alex sensed that Ayumi didn't have the usual hostile tone unlike most of the Arkeyans, "Cousin Adinda used to pound into the heads of the Mystic Arkeyans to show mercy to our opponents and to our enemies."

"At least the empire has one saving grace," said Alex.

"Whatever. Anyway I'm out," said Ayumi, "Emperor Drake wants me to greet some special guests from another dimension. He thinks that they can help take back the Dragon Realm from Malefor. Like it or not we all have to team up otherwise the Dark Master could spread his dark magic all over Skylands, Avalon, and the Earth."

"At least you're saying something that actually makes sense," Alex said before going to Avalon while Ayumi left for Skylander Academy to prepare for the welcome of the Emperor's special guests.
