Sixteen hours on the road. That's roughly 1040 miles. We must be somewhere in Colorado. I dunno, I do math, I'm not a geography robot. Is that how you pronounce geography? If only I could stop all this, this, THINKING. Why do I have such a big brain now? I mean, I know I'm short, but this is just ridiculous. But then again, I have built in toilet plunger guns, and that's pretty cool. Did it get colder? I can't tell. I'm not a thermometer either. So basically I'm a math robot who can fight. Would it have been so wrong if Activision made Wind-Up a complete genius like Drobot? Oh man, if we ever fight Drobot we'd be doomed.

"Hey, Wind-Up, you all right bud?" Ignitor asked from the back seat. Prism Break remained in the middle and Stink Bomb occupied the other window seat. After much training and getting a hold of their powers, they discovered Night Shift could fly as well. It was good for Whirlwind to have someone with her above the car. Wind-Up had called shotgun again once training was over. Even with one less person the fire knight, the rock golem, and the ninja skunk still were very crowded. Regardless, Stink Bomb was smiling felt as confident as ever, especially since being a fellow ninja like Stealth Elf, he got very specific training for his abilities.

"Oh uh, yeah, I'm alright, you?" Wind-Up said recovering from deep in his thoughts, which for him, that was as deep as it got.

"I'm fine, it's starting to get chilly though, and that's coming from a fire Skylander" Ignitor replied.

"We're going through some mountains and we're pretty high right now" Stealth Elf said from the driver's seat.

Prism Break shifted in his seat. "I don't know what you guys are babying about. I feel nothing."

"Is that on the inside or outside?" Stink Bomb teased.

"Huh? Wa's that?" Prism Break asked.

"Thick headed too I guess."

All of a sudden, Stealth Elf slammed on the brakes. Stink Bomb who hadn't put on his seat belt claiming he had the "reflexes of a cat on Red Bull" face planted directly into the back of Stealth Elf's chair. Prism Break grunted as the middle seat's seatbelt was only secure across the waist and it knocked the air out of him.

"What was that?!" Wind-Up shrieked.

"I don't know!" Stealth Elf said, wide eyed in confusion. She noticed Whirlwind land next to her door. Stealth Elf rolled down the window to let the unicorn in.

"What is that thing?" Whirlwind asked.

"I don't know!" Stealth Elf repeated.

Night Shift teleported to Whirlwind's side. "What on Earth was-"

"I said I don't know!" Stealth Elf yelped.

Ignitor finally stepped out of the car to investigate. The gang had driven to some area that was completely covered in snow except for the road. A wintery forest on the mountain loomed in all directions. In front of the car was a massive snowball about 20 feet in diameter.

"Where even are we?" Ignitor wondered out loud. "I don't think I know of a mountain big enough to have its own forest."

Prism Break grumbled from the car, "Don't know, don't care. You mind melting that thing down, flame head?"

Ignitor would've talked back, but they did have a destination to get to and he would have preferred to get there as fast as possible. He walked up to the giant snowball and the heat radiating off his body melted it within seconds. Satisfied that it was done, he went back towards the car.

"Woah woah woah, hold on" Whirlwind said before he could get in.

"What's up?" Ignitor turned around.

Next to Whirlwind, Night Shift approached. "That snowball was not what we saw. There was some fast moving…thing."

Ignitor shrugged. "A thing? Wow, I know exactly what you're talking about" he said sarcastically.

Whirlwind sighed. "Well whatever it was, it was dangerous looking and we need to keep an eye out"

Prism Break popped his head out of the car in annoyance. "Would you guys get in? I'd like to get a move on!" Then as if on cue, a snowball of a much smaller size nailed Prism Break in the face making the rock golem tumble back into the car and falling into Stink Bomb. The force made the door on the other side break and Stink Bomb to be shoved out into the snow covered pavement.

The ninja skunk jumped up. "What the crap was that!?"

The sudden attack made everyone get out of the car. Stealth Elf tensed into a fighting stance and stood by Ignitor. "What do you think, wild creatures?"

Ignitor drew his sword. The snow by his feet steamed as his radiating heat melted everything around him. "That snowball was too precise. I'm calling ambush."

Stealth Elf pondered this for a moment while moving her hands to her daggers, prepared to defend herself at any moment. Then she turned to Stink Bomb who was hiding behind the car. She pointed, "You, come one, let's go investigate!" she whispered loud enough for him to hear.

Stink Bomb cowered a bit more. "Did you see that snowball?! That is a death snow ball if I've ever seen one!"

Stealth Elf glared. "A death snowball?"

Stink Bomb lifted a rock; one that Stealth Elf immediately knew was in the snowball. She was suddenly very grateful that it had hit Prism Break instead of anyone else. She turned to Wind-Up.

"You know who would throw snowballs like that?"

Wind-Up's eyes closed slightly in deep thought. "Well I'm thinking Slam Bam, but he's a lot more reckless. Freeze Blade isn't that violent, he's more of a prankster. Really that leaves Chill."

"That actually makes a lot of sense. She was quite a powerful Skylander, at least, when she was defeating trolls and not trying to kill us" Whirlwind piped up from her stance next to Night Shift. She scanned all of her friends and noticed something. "Umm, so how long are we gonna pose all heroically?"

The others looked at themselves and loosened up. Stealth Elf approached Stink Bomb and then grabbed his ear. "Alright, come on, time to test out your skills on a real enemy!"

Stink Bomb squealed like a child as his ninja companion dragged him off into the woods. Before the two disappeared, Stealth Elf turned to the rest of the group. "While we're gone, fix the car door. If we're not back in an hour, come looking for us. Hopefully if it is Skylanders, they'll be friendly."

With that, the two went into the forest. It seemed to go on for miles and after a couple feet it was almost completely impossible to see the sky. The atmosphere was blocked off by acres and acres of tree branches and bristles. The two ninjas left quite distinct footprints in the fresh snow. Reluctantly Stink Bomb finally stopped squealing and followed Stealth Elf.

"How do you even know where we're going?" Stink Bomb asked.

"Well, according to the trajectory of the snowball, it should lead us to the attackers." After seeing Stink Bomb's blank face, Stealth Elf repeated in a patronizing tone, "It looked like it was thrown this way, now we're following it."

"Ahhhh, why didn't you just say so?"

Stealth Elf put her face in her palm and sighed. If the ambushers don't kill him, I just might.

At that moment, they heard a rustling. Stealth Elf put her hand out to stop Stink Bomb from moving anymore. She looked up and saw some branches in the distance shaking slightly. She pointed at it and Stink Bomb followed her gaze in acknowledgement. She whispered, "They'll be able to see our foot prints, let's go in the trees."

Stink Bomb squinted and held his hand up. "Hold on…"

Stealth Elf's eyes widened in hope. Does he sense something? Are his skills finally being realized? Did I make a breakthrough? I knew it!

Stink Bomb punched himself in the chest and then belched loudly. "Hehe, now I'm ready."

With their position given away to anyone in at least a mile radius with the volume of the burp, Stealth Elf climbed into the trees followed by Stink Bomb. Both of them silently took branch after branch higher into the tree. Eventually, they both disappeared leaving only glowing white eyes to be seen. After reaching a comfortably high height, the two started hopping across branches in the direction of the previous rustling. Stealth Elf turned her head slightly. "You know, with your loud noises, we'll probably never know who attacked us-"

Stink Bomb jerked forward and grabbed her by the neck of her leather shirt. He clawed the branch he was on and stopped immediately.

"What's the big idea?" Stealth Elf whispered. He set her down next to him on the branch. When she turned, she saw the gap between them and the next branch would've been impossible to make in one jump. She would've fallen. "Oh…thanks."

With that, Stink Bomb leapt at the current trunk of the tree they were on and ran across its wall to the next tree branch. Stealth Elf followed and they continued their pursuit.

"You're welcome" Stink Bomb said once Stealth Elf caught up.

Still invisible, the two leapt at another branch and started to hear voices.

"Uhh, Ted, you can't just throw snowballs at people we don't know!" said the first voice. It was feminine, but dark and cold. But not an evil kind of cold, more of a genuine evil.

"But that flamey man melted my big snowball!" a second voice said. It was gruff and low, but had the tone of a nine year old.

"Yeah but, we didn't even know who they were. Or what they were! And how did you even get a rock in the ball anyway."

"What rock?"

"Uhh, Charles, what have we talked about!"

A third voice was suddenly heard. It was slightly raspy and jolly "I told you, call me Chucky. And besides Lois, it was funny!"

Stink Bomb turned to Stealth Elf and whispered. "I recognize those voices. I'm not sure exactly who, but definitely Skylander."

Stealth Elf responded, "Yeah, but by the sound of it I don't think they're evil."

"Come on, let's go meet them."

"Woah there cowboy, better safe than sorry. Let's keep an eye on them for a bit longer."

Stink Bomb nodded and the leapt to another branch to get closer. The voices became louder with each leap.

"Okay, Chucky, but that could have seriously hurt one of them!"

"That's why I made Teddy here aim at the one that looked like he was made of rocks!"

"Have you seen us? That guy could've been made of rocks for all we know."

"I'm hungry. I need food Loosie!"

"Oh my god, Ted you are nine years old! How are you still getting my name wrong?"

Stink Bomb smiled as he leapt. Sweet, I guessed his age right. Kinda buff sounding for a kid though.

After one final branch, the two ninjas could identify whom the voices belonged to. The dark voice belonged to a pale girl with blue eyes and lips. She had a helmet with wings on the sides and had a javelin and translucent shield attached to her back. Gruff but childish one was given from what looked like a form armed buff ice monster. The raspy jolly one came out of some weird raccoon cat hybrid with ice for hair and seemed to float across the ground with skate attached to his feet.

"Alright, I'm not the Skylander expert, you know them?" Stealth Elf asked.

Stink Bomb gave her an offended look. "Oh please, do I know them? That's Chill, the icy warrior who's only looking for redemption. Then there's the fun loving, snow cone eating yeti, Slam Bam. And then, umm, that one is clearly, umm"

"You don't remember?"

"Not a clue"

"I think that's Freeze Blade; the Swap Force guy I think"

"Wow, how do you know that?"

Stealth Elf froze. "Umm, well, uhh, actually that's a conversation for another day."

Stink Bomb, although confused about her avoidance of an answer, decided to move on and, in his mind, not care.

The elf regained her composure. "Anyway, they don't seem bad enough. You wanna do the honors?" she said after her whole body became visible again. Stink Bomb did the same and nodded. "Sweet" and with that last word, she pushed the ninja skunk from the branch and he fell to the ground. After somehow avoiding every branch on the way down, he face planted into the snow with a puff of snow splatting on his sides.

The three ice Skylanders turned in shock. Once Chill (or Lois) noticed the green skunk she sighed. "See! You made them angry and now they're coming after us!"

"It's okay Looey! I will pound them into the ground! They won't catch us!" Slam Bam (or Ted) growled.

Freeze Blade (or Charles, or Chucky, too many names to keep track of) clicked his tongue. "And all over a silly rock. That's sad. Prepare to get your butt kicked, weird green skunk thing!"

Prism Break stared at the door, and then at the hole in the car where it should be. He sat in the snow and placed his chin in his arms. Wind-Up, Ignitor, Whirlwind, and Night Shift stared with him. Silence embraced the snowy road for a solid fifteen minutes. Only a slight wind and some breathing from the Skylander crew could be heard.

Finally after dead silence for what seemed to be too long, Prism Break asked, "So, any of you know how to fix a door?"

In unison, the other four said, "Nope"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Stealth Elf leapt to Stink Bomb's side with her arms raised. "Woah, woah, woah, hold on there, we're not here to fight you!"

Slam Bam, Chill, and Freeze Blade stayed tense. Stink Bomb still hadn't recovered from his fall and kept his face deep in the snow.

"We just wanted to know who threw the snowball. It was really random and we hoped we weren't being attacked"

"How can we trust you?" Chill asked coldly.

"You saw how many there were of us. At least eight. But only two followed. What kind of revenge group would do that?"

"Silence, liar!"

Slam Bam stopped flexing his arms and raised a finger. "Actually, that's kind of a good point"

Chill sighed and turned to the yeti. "Oh, so now you start to be logical?!"

Freeze Blade had his arms flopped to his sides. He couldn't stop staring at Stealth Elf. When she noticed him, she asked, "Uhh, can I help you?"

"You're pretty"

"Ooooookaaaaay" Stealth Elf mumbled.

Stink Bomb, having recovered from his fall, lifted his head from the snow. His mouth was humorously surrounded by a snow beard. "Wha-? Who? Oh, hello friends" he said, loopy as if coming out of a wisdom tooth surgery.

Chill giggled slightly. "Well, I can't assume you are foes after that" she motioned towards Stink Bomb in the snow. "So, if all you wanted to know was who we were, well, now you know so go on your way"

Freeze Blade almost choked. "Hey now, Lois, why not be a bit more hospitable for our new friends?"

"Hospitable?" Chill groaned, "Chucky, we're surrounded by snow. How can you be hospitable surrounded by the freezing cold?"

Slam Bam picked up Stink Bomb by the legs and put him in a fireman's carry. "This guy is funny. Can we keep him?"

"No you cannot keep him Ted! Man, being your big sister is really hard"

"Awwwwww" Slam Bam cried and turned to Stealth Elf, giving her a puppy dog face.

She put a hand on her hip. "Sorry big guy, he's not a pet, as much as he stinks though…" Slam Bam continued to pout as Stealth Elf got an idea. "Actually, there might be something you can help us with."

Freeze Blade perked up. "Of course, anything for you dear" he said and took Stealth Elf's hand. She immediately jerked it away and continued.

"Well, that big guy you hit" she talked to Slam Bam, "he actually was made of rock and it made him break on of the doors on our car. You think you might be able to fix it?"

Slam Bam, still pouting, nodded and then sniffed.

"Hold on, I have a condition if we are to help." Chill said. "You have to lead us out of here."

Stealth Elf looked at her. "You're kidding right. The giant snowball was on a road. You just follow the road and you'll get out of this mountain, eventually."

Chill thought. "Oh, my bad"

Whirlwind sighed out in boredom. "UHHHHHHHH, has it been an hour yet? I wanna go on a rescue mission or something. This door is STUPID!"

Wind-Up moaned. "It's been fifty-seven minutes. Not yet"

Prism Break stood up. "That's close enough for me frankly.

At that moment, Stink Bomb and Stealth Elf exited the woods, followed by Slam Bam, Freeze Blade, and Chill.

"Oh, well, at least now we're leaving" Prism Break mumbled.

When Stealth Elf saw the door still on the ground she laughed and elbowed Chill lightly. "See, I told you they wouldn't fix it."

"So I know that we cannot fit in your car, but do you think that going to Toys for Bob will fix all the Skylanders and turn them back to humans?" Chill asked.

"We don't know, that's what we're hoping, especially since it seems more bad humans were turned into Skylanders rather than good." Stealth Elf said.

Freeze Blade casually placed an arm on the ninja elf. "Yeah, whatever you say baby"

Stealth Elf casually flicked his arm off her shoulder.

"The Skylanders sound cool! I wanna get it when we get home" Slam Bam said. Night Shift thought he sounded like a nine year old. The yeti kept on talking about his newfound love for the Skylanders as he ignored everyone around him, placed the car door on the side of the car with his two left arms, and then froze it to the car with his right arm.

"Thanks again, stay safe guys" Stink Bomb said, slapping Chill on the back. The ice warrior glared at him and he jumped straight into the car in fear.

Stealth Elf said her goodbyes and everyone got into the car with Night Shift and Whirlwind flying above them.

Chill, Slam Bam, and Freeze Blade watched them leave in the distance. "Welp, let's go home" Chill said. Before they took their first step however, Freeze Blade fell flat on his face, passed out. "What the-!" the ice warrior noticed a small needle with red feathers stuck to her middle brother's butt. Seconds later, Slam Bam flopped on his side with his tongue sticking out. The needle with red feathers was in the side of his neck. Tranquilizers Chill realized were the projectile. She turned to see a purple hooded figure with a translucent purple staff pointed at her.

"Hello my dear" Enigma said, "I'm so happy you are helping me"

"You shot my brothers! Why on Earth would I help you?" Chill growled.

"Ahh, but young one, I'm afraid you have no choice."

Chill felt a small pinch sting her shoulder. She turned, slightly dizzy, and saw a dart with a red feather, sticking out of her arm.
