Leviathan Lagoon
The Teens arrived at the Lagoon where Hsi Wu the Sky Demon was once again recovering from Sea Sickness.
"Hopefully this will be the last time we have to sail on a boat to get to an Eternal Source." Hsi Wu groaned as he felt queasy. "I can't stand much more of this sea sickness."
"Relax Hsi Wu," Sara said, "The Eternal Water Source may be hidden in the Sea but I doubt the other Eternal Sources will be hidden in watery locations."
"My guess is that the other eternal sources will be hidden in locations that best match up to the elements they represent." Colleen said as the team got off the ship so Gurglefin could debrief them on the mission.
"And I've a theory that we should let Colleen take the lead on this Eternal Source." Rose said much to the surprise on the others especially Colleen.
"Why me?" Colleen asked, "I may be a good leader an all but why would I be best to hold this source?"
"Because you are the descendant of Irene, the Water Druid," Sara reminded Colleen, "And this source happens to be the Water Source, so we figure that the Water Source might enhance your water powers."
"Similar to what the Eternal Air Source did for my Air powers," Chrissie added, "I think that makes a lot of sense."
"If we're done talking can we please get back to the mission?" Gurglefin asked as he wanted to get out of this lagoon.
"Oh sorry fish dude," Ice said, "Go ahead and speak."
"Thank you Ice anyway to get to the Eternal Water Source you'll need to watch out for the Pirates. They'll be after the statues as well," Gurglefin said. "And if you see a giant village eating fish in the process. Don't call me alright."
"We'll remember that last part," Hsi Wu said as the team noticed the Giant fish swimming nearby as well as the shrine where they had to get the place the statues.
"You do remember what Hugo said right?" Rose asked as the team nodded. "He said the Eternal Water Source will only reveal itself when all four statues are placed in the shrine."
"Why don't we have Colleen lift the Eternal Water Source with her powers?" Hsi Wu asked as they made their way toward the first statue. "It would save us a lot of trouble. Ow."
"Hsi Wu weren't you paying attention?" Sara said as she hit him in the same manner that Uncle hit Jackie and Captain Black.
"If you saw everything as you said to have seen from our adventures," Colleen sighed, "Then you would know that his brain is due for an upgrade."
So the team arrived on the Pearl Cluster zone only to notice a red pirate looking figure called a Hob 'n' Yaro steal the statue and run away.
"That thing has the statue," Ice said as he tossed fireballs at the pirate, "Let's get him."
So the team chased down the Hob 'n' Yaro but it was too fast for them to catch, even with Chrissie using her air powers. Ice managed to summon some back up in the form of Flameslinger, he was an elf that wore a brown tunic with dragon scales, brown pants, boots, gloves and a shirt made of leather. The elf wore a leather belt that held a quiver of arrows and his bow. The elf also had a blindfold around his eyes.
"I'm ready to assist you fellow Portal Masters." Flameslinger said as Ice explained the situation. Flameslinger took careful aim at the Hob 'n' Yaro and with a quick shot from his bow defeated the pirate turning it into orbs that empowered him and recovered the statue.
"Nice work Flameslinger." Ice said, "I'm impressed."
"Thank you Portal Master." Flameslinger said, "Though you're name is Ice yet you have power over fire."
"His real name is Ignatius but he prefers to be called Strikemaster Ice or Ice for short." Colleen explained much to Ice's embarrassment about his real name.
Soon the Team had arrived at Turtle Island after they cleared the Pearl Cluster of the Pirates. Cody took the lead and summoned Stump Smash, a tree stump with logs for hands as Skylanders of the Life element were stronger in that area.
"Thank you for summoning me young Cody." Stump Smash said as he quickly demonstrated why he was called Stump Smash by smashing some of the Pirates that attempted to stop them.
"No problem Stump Smash," Cody replied, "But we better go find the statue and get the Eternal Water Source."
"Guys there's the statue," Drago pointed out spotting the statue, "We'd better grab it before the pirates show up."
So the team managed to make their way across Turtle Island blasting pirates that got in their path. Some of the battles were tough as the heroes had a little trouble but they managed to acquire the second ancient statue and made it to Shark's Tooth Island to go after the third statue. Unfortunately they ran into another Hob 'n' Yaro. Luckily since Flameslinger was still present he made quick work of the thief with his speed and his fire arrows.
"Now that what I call impressive shooting flame dude." Ice complimented as they acquired the third statue.
"The twins were right about you being the best archer in all of Skylands." Chrissie said though she was kind of worried about the blindfold Flameslinger wore to prove it. She figured that it was better not to ask about that right now as they went to try and find the fourth statue. They searched high and low and they even checked the elemental zones with help from Gill Grunt, a Gillman with a harpoon and a water pack on his back as well as Slam Bam, a four armed blue skinned yeti with white fur on his legs, arms, and head whom Colleen had summoned to help them out.
Soon the group headed back to where they recovered the third statue with bad news as they were looking a bit worn out.
"That fourth statue is hidden pretty well." Gill Grunt said, "We looked everywhere and we've got nothing."
"Don't give up so easily." Colleen advised, "We'll find the statue."
"But where else can we look?" Drago asked, "It's not like Gurglefin knows where statue is."
"Perhaps we should go ask him." Sara said as she spotted Gurglefin near a Cannon.
"About time you guys got here," Gurglefin said before noticing the looks he was getting, "What I took a Shortcut."
"A short cut?" Hsi Wu growled, "We did all that work and you took a short cut?"
"Anyway I have good news and bad news," Gurglefin said "The good news is that I know where the fourth statue is."
"So what's the bad news?" Gill Grunt asked with his harpoon at the ready.
"The bad news is that the pirates have taken the statue, loaded it up on their ship and are making a run for it." Gurglefin explained as they saw the Pirate ship in question.
"Chrissie, Summon Drobot, get him into the cannon and aim for the masts." Ice said as Chrissie did just that as she shot at the masts and managed to cause the Pirate Ship to get jammed between two islands creating a bridge as the back of the ship sank leaving the statue unharmed.
"Now that's like shooting fish in a barrel." Chrissie said as the group headed to get the fourth statue.
The team arrived at the shrine and placed the four statues in the shrine. The Shrine itself then caused the Eternal Water Source to appear much to Hsi Wu's relief.
"There it is." The Sky Demon said as he rushed forward to get the source with the others following behind but before they could reach the source they were swallowed up by the leviathan and found themselves inside the stomach of the giant fish as they saw a wrecked ship.
"Well at least the Eternal Water Source is still here." Cody said trying to look on the bright side but before they could get it Kaos' floating head appeared before the team.
"Well, well, well, look what we have here, It's a stupid half-breed trog, the foolish twins, and Eon's stupid Portal Master Apprentices! Ha!" Kaos taunted before continuing, "And I see you just happen to be looking for the Eternal Water Source. Scratch that, MY Eternal Water Source! Well you're TOO LATE! I AM KAOS, Emperor of Skylands and a REAL Portal Master and you're going to be sinking with the fishes for eternity." Kaos ended that part with a laugh.
"Bring it on baldy." Chrissie said bravely. "We'll kick your butt."
"And at least we don't hide behind giant projections of floating ehads unlike you dimwit."
"You'll pay for that insult with your lives," Kaos' floating head screamed, "My Evil Water Dragon will see to that. Attack!"
An evil version of Zap appeared and began attacking the heroes with lightning bolts from his mouth. The team dodged each attack and they sent their own powers at Kaos' Evil Water Dragon hoping to disable it. The Star of the battle though was Colleen as she used plenty of water to incase the evil water minion in ice before the team shattered it.
"Big Deal, I'm just getting started." Kaos' giant floating head sneered before yelling, "I SUMMON the DEADLY SHARK BATH OF DOOOOOOMSHARKS!"
"Deadly what of what?" Ice asked confused as Kaos began using the Eternal Water Source to create a wall of water that trapped them in a box.
"I think we're about to find out." Chrissie said as sharks began swimming toward them.
Hsi Wu was fortunate that he could fly but he couldn't do much against the Skarks as everyone else was dodging and avoiding the surging sharks.
"Colleen this is getting ridiculous." Cody said, "Can't you do something about this?"
"Kaos is using the power of the Eternal Source." Colleen replied as she continued dodging sharks, "I can't do anything about it."
Soon the sharks stopped and Kaos began speaking again.
"You punks seem to be lucky sort of." Kaos said before turning serous, "WELL your luck has run out. You now face my EVIL AMPHIBIOUS GILLMAN!"
Kaos laughed as a shadow version of Gill Grunt appeared completely with a spear gun. The heroes dodged each of the Evil Amphibious Gillman's spear attacks as usual by having Bash be the distraction while Flameslinger shot at the Gillman from a distance. Soon the team had defeated the second of Kaos' Water Minions.
"You knaves may have defeated my Gillman for now but this is far from over - FAR FROM IT!" Kaos bellowed, "I SUMMON the even DEADLIER SHARK BATH OF DOOOOOMSHARKS!"
"Again with the Sharks?" Drago groaned as the water appeared once more and the sharks surged towards the heroes. The team all dodged, avoided, evaded and even flipped over the sharks to avoid them. This time the shark bath seemed to go on longer than the last time before the wall of water stopped and Kaos was looking at them in shock.
"Impossible! You survived my best water spell!" Kaos gasped before composing himself as he bellowed, "I MEAN, you survived a very MEDICORE water spell that I found laying around somewhere."
"Keep telling yourself that you fool." Rose said, "And we thought Hsi Wu here was cocky."
"Yeah." The Sky Demon said before realizing he was being made into the butt of a joke, "Hey! I resent that!"
"Can we get back to kicking Kaos' butt guys?" Ice said as Kaos bellowed at the team.
"I'm not impressed," Kaos yelled, "And neither is MY EVIL ICE YETI! ATTACK!"
An evil version of Slam Bam appeared on Kaos' command and as usual the heroes avoided and evaded the shots. Rose and Sara summoned the Dragon Skylanders that could fly and led them into countering the Evil Ice Yeti's ice attacks while giving the JTeens the time they needed to counterattack with help from Gill Grunt's spear gun and Flameslinger's fire arrows as they managed to take down the ice yeti as Kaos once again stated his usual speech.
"Okay… so perhaps you're 'slightly good' at fighting my water minions, one – on - one." Kaos admitted before adding with a bellow, "HA! Let's see how you fare against ALL THREE AT ONCE!"
Kaos finished that last part with a laugh as all three of his evil water minions appeared and began attacking.
"Okay now this is over the top," Ice said as they dodged the attacks from the evil water minions. Colleen was doing her best to try and use her water powers to try and incase them but with the constant attacks she couldn't concentrate. As soon as the Evil Water Dragon was down the Shark Bath Spell started up.
"Oh come on?" Cody groaned as the sharks appeared while the water minions attacked. "As if things weren't hard enough we have to deal with the Sharks again?"
"Not to sound rude Cody but suck it up." Rose snapped clearly annoyed with the sharks as she was using her powers of the darkness to try and blast the water minions and shield the team, "This is the home stretch. Besides we can do this."
Cody heard Rose's words and began to fight harder against the evil water minions. Once the last Minion was down and the shark spell was over Kaos yelled in disbelief.
"My Minions, My beautiful minions," Kaos yelled as the team stood standing.
"We kicked your ass Kaos." Sara demanded, "Now hand over the Eternal Water Source."
"Fine, Take it - take the Eternal Water Source fools." Kaos barked before adding with a sneer, "See if I care fools. SOON, you too will FEAR MY GIANT FLOATING HEAD like everyone else. Then YOU WILL PAY!"
Colleen didn't need any telling as she went to grab the Eternal Water Source as the source all teleported them back to the ruins. While the Source did though it strengthened her Water powers and made it easier for her to use them.
"Well done portal masters, you have returned with the Eternal Water source," Master Eon said to the team, "Now water shall return to the Core of Light."
The water source flew into the Twin Spouts of Ocea-Major-Minor as the spouts raised themselves in the air while water flowed through the pipes. Soon the water then began shooting through the two statues on either side of the machine.
Meanwhile back at Kaos' flying fortress he was laughing while eating a chicken leg.
"Master is everything alright?" Glumshanks asked considering the defeat that Kaos had handed to him.
"Of course everything's alright." Kaos said, "Why do you ask?"
"Well considering they got the Eternal Water Source I thought that things would be difficult." The troll butler stated.
"Ha. They can rebuild Eon's machine all they want but I'm still winning," Kaos laughed, "And that's because the Darkness is spreading."
Kaos then took a bite from his chicken and chocked as he then asked for a Heimlich.
"The Eternal Water Source is once again part of the Core of Light." Hugo praised.
"But the Darkness is going to still spread unless we get the other Eternal Sources." Rose said, "I can feel it growing stronger with each minute."
"In the meantime we should check out the beach again." Sara said, "There might be something of interest there."
"Sounds like a plan." Chrissie said as the team headed off to the beach. Hsi Wu had managed to filch a can of Oil in the process from the Oil Donkey.
"Wow this place is beautiful." Colleen said as they admired the newly unlocked part of the beach.
"Skylands is always beautiful Colleen." Rose said as the team found a strange one eyed machine groaning.
"Oil… Can…" the machine groaned.
"Sounds like somebody needs oil," Chrissie said as she went to go get some but noticed said Oil Can in the Sky Demon's hands.
"Well done Uncle." Drago praised as he Oiled the Machine, "For once you managed to think ahead."
"Bat boy thinking huh?" Ice joked, "That's a first."
"Thank you very much friends. I've been stuck in that position for ages." The Machine said.
"We're glad to help out but who are you?" Colleen asked.
"I'm a Clam-tron 4000." The Clam-tron said. "I'd like to thank you for helping me out. Collect some clams and I can make you rich."
The team confused went to get some clams for the machine. Once the Machine had enough clams it began to get to work creating a pearl for them. When it was done it created a black orb with a fuse.
"Ta-da." The Clam-tron said, "One pearl as proised."
"Uh dude," Sara spoke, "You didn't create a pearl."
"You created a bomb." Rose said pointing to the object.
"Oh no." the Clam-tron said "I've lost my talent."
"Good news everyone," Hugo called as he walked over, "I found another piece to the great machine!"
"So which piece are we looking for this time Hugo?" Cody asked.
"The Cyclopses have stolen the Crystal Eye." Hugo said.
"I'm not surprised; they always wanted the eye for their own." Rose sighed, "They even named their castle after it."
"How do we get to the Crystal Eye Castle?" Chrissie questioned.
"The bridge entrance uniting the temple to their kingdom has been blocked and it looks like we'll have to find another way to, Hugo said before noticing the bomb, "Is that a bomb? Where in Skylands did we get a bomb?"
"I made it myself." The Clam-tron said.
"Well that's just what we need to blast through the entrance." Ice said as he egarly took the bomb to the entrance of the bridge and blasted away the rubble revealing a bald mole like creature called a Molekin.
"Thanks for the help in breaking down the barrier." The Molekin asked, "My name is Diggs and I just escaped from the Cyclops Kingdom."
"Diggs right?" Drago asked as Diggs nodded, "While you were escaping did you see the Crystal Eye anywhere?"
"Well I did see the Cyclopses rolling something that made my normally blurry vision crystal clear." Diggs said, "It must have been the Crystal Eye."
"Great so can you take us to their castle?" Rose asked. "It's important that we recover the Crystal Eye."
"And we'll have to battle the Cyclopses in order to do so." Sara added. "Before they get a chance to use it for evil or hand it over to Kaos."
"Sure I'll take you across the bridge to their kingdom." Diggs said as the JTeens followed Diggs to the Crystal Eye Castle.
Next Time:
The Teens head to the Crystal Eye Castle to recover the Crystal but the Cyclopses aren't going to give it up without a fight. Will the teens make it back in one piece. Read and Review to find out.
