Great Lake Assault
Arriving in Detroit Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong, Alex and the JTeens arrived to see that the place was already looking more like a heavily patrolled military base with X-Borgs and Bruisers were already walking up and down like they owned the place. The team was in shock of the devastation that was going on.
"What happened here?" Donkey Kong asked.
"This City is under the iron rule of the Forces of Darkness," said Eon as he appeared as a spirit, "The only way to free the city is to defeat the boss of the Area."
"But how are we going to find out who is in charge of this city?" Ice asked as the Arkeyan Royal Family appeared via holograms.
"We've got that covered," Drake said, "While we look up the cities and who's taken over them you guys can go free them."
"But that could take months," Colleen replied, "And we don't have months."
"Then in that case your best bet is to go after the leaders of the invasion itself," Rose said, "Unfortunately we haven't figured out a way to break into Avalon without Malefor knowing about it yet."
"However we can tell you where to find the local boss that's producing those Egg pawns," said Sara.
"Where is it?" asked Ice.
"You must travel to the other side of Detroit to get to it. Fortunately for you the elemental bonuses have started to appear in this world," Rita explained.
"Okay so which Skylanders or Vehicles are best suited for this area?" Cody asked.
"Skylanders of the Earth Element are Stronger in this zone," Master Eon spoke.
"Guess this means Terrafin and I are taking lead," Cody said as Terrafin took the lead alongside Bash and Flashwing as they were making their way across the area. They ran into some X-Borgs but with a little teamwork from Alexandra, Cody, Terrafin, Bash, and Flashwing they were able to take them down.
"That was easy," Hsi Wu said seeing Cody and the Earth Skylanders make quick work of the X-Borgs.
"Those were only the first set of flunkies," said Bash, "I have a feeling that things are gonna get tougher."
The rest of the team nodded as they made their way forward while pummeling any enemy robots that stood in their way. They came across a lock puzzle but Chrissie easily solved it using her intelligence. The group then arrived at a new zone that was marked with a cloud symbol and with it a resident nearby.
"Are you guys here to help?" the resident asked.
"Yes we are what's going on?" Colleen asked.
"Some attack ships from Kaos' Fleet are raining fire upon us," said the resident, "If any of you can take them down you can defeat them before they takeover city hall."
"Let's get in there already," said the Sky Demon.
"Hold it," said Rita via hologram, "To enter this zone you need a Sky Vehicle."
"But how do we know which one to pick when we have no idea what the elemental zone for this area is like?" Chrissie asked.
"Yes what to do?" Rita asked before offering some advice, "Well you could go with the Stealth Stinger. It's very swift and agile in City areas. Then there's the Sky Slicer, if I recall correctly Stormblade designed the Sky Slicer to explore the unknown and when she's at the wheel it can out run just about anything. Then there's the Clown Crusier, Bowser's signature vehicle and with its fire power."
"So which one will it be?" Reina asked.
"Send us the Stealth Stinger," said Colleen.
"Consider it done," said Reina as a rift opened through which the Barrel Blaster left and the Stealth Stinger emerged.
"Good job but the controls on the Stealth Stinger might be a bit small for Donkey Kong," said Drago, "Not to mention he could use some rest."
"Good point," Cody said using his portal master powers to send Donkey Kong back to the Mansion before speaking to Terrafin, "Terrafin can you handle piloting this vehicle?"
"I think I can handle it," said Terrafin, "But I recommend we call Stealth Elf. This is more her department."
"Good point," Cody said using his Portal Master Powers to call Stealth Elf.
"Ready for this Stealth Elf?" Drago asked as Stealth Elf hopped into her vehicle.
"I was born ready," Stealth Elf said as the Stealth Stinger was supercharged before it was put to use shooting down the attack ships. The first one was down but more began to appear causing the Elf to feel overwhelmed.
"I could use some help up here," Stealth Elf spoke as more attack ships began firing upon her Stealth Stinger.
"Don't worry," Rita said, "We're sending the rest of the Sky Vehicles and their Signature Pilots over to help."
True to Rita's word a rift opened and the rest of the Sky Vehicles along with their signature pilots appeared and together they began to shoot down the attacking Armada and help clear the skies.
"Well done everyone," said the Resident, "You've freed the Skies from Kaos' fleet."
"Thank you very much but let's get back to the task at hand," said Terrafin as soon as the pilots of the Sky Vehicles returned to the mansion.
"You're right," said Alex as the group made their way to the land section where Donkey Kong and his Barrel Blaster took the lead as the group all took to the skies in the ship.
"Vehicles of the Tech Element are Stronger in this zone," said Eon as Donkey Kong made his way across town in the Barrel Blaster blasting away at any enemy or opponent that would get in the way.
"Brace yourselves," said Cody as Donkey Kong blasted more enemies while making it across town.
"Okay here we are," said Colleen, "We're on the other side of town."
"Now all we gotta do is get past more enemies and find the Sea area," said Chrissie.
"Unfortunately Malefor's not gonna make this easy and he's already feeding off the destruction and darkness in the universe," Ice pointed out as they defeated more and more Shadowkhan.
"What did you expect?" Sunburn said roasting some Trolls, "Kaos is going all out to make life hell for all those who crossed his clients."
"We better keep going," Spyro said as the forces of good continued the battle against the dark armies before they got to the docks.
"Okay the only way we're gonna get to the factory is by sea," said Cody, "Well that or we blast our way in by land."
"I vote we go by sea," said Colleen as she summoned Gill Grunt and his Reef Ripper.
Using the Reef Ripper Gill Grunt was able to disable the defenses around the main factory allowing the heroes to sneak into the factory. Once inside they began to do battle with the robot guards present before facing the boss which was none other than Rivett.
"Well well Malefor told me you'd be coming," Rivett said, "But this is where it ends. Prepare to meet your doom."
"Bring it on Rivett," Said Cynder as Rivett began to attack.
The forces of Light began their clash against Rivett and dodged whenever he struck. Sometimes Rivett would create shockwaves to attack but the heroes dodged them and struck back. At other times Rivett would call in minions but they would fall to the heroes like limp bundles of treasure and experience. Eventually they defeated Rivett and managed to free Chicago from his grip.
"Alright we defeated one of Malefor's Lieutentnats," said Spyro.
"With a lot of help from Alex and the JTeens," said Drobot.
"Now let's get back to base," said Cynder.
The team went back to base while watching as the Great Lakes were now free of Rivett's influence. Once they returned to the Arkeyan Garage Master Eon and the Arkeyan Royal Family had some good news.
"Well done young Portal Masters," Master Eon said, "Thanks to you one of Malefor's Lieutenants has been defeated and the forces of Darkness no longer have any control over the Great Lakes."
"So does this mean all the towns and cities in that area are now free?" Ice asked.
"Yep and there's more good news," Drake said, "We found a way to get you to Avalon. The Rift Engines can do the job but unfortunately since most of the legends are from England you'll have to break into Avalon from there."
"Then that's where we've got to go," said Alex, "Then once we do that we're going to my world."
"Unfortunately we'll need a bit more power to breech the defenses that Malefor has set up around the portals of your world," Rose said, "But we will rescue your world and take the fight to Malefor himself."
"Good to know," said Alex as she and the group headed through a rift that would take them to London.
