All Hail Prince Froggo
The Forces of Light continued fighting their way across Avalon until they spotted Xua Wing's Castle in the distance.
"There's the Castle," said Alex before looking closer, "But something's wrong."
Drago and Hsi Wu looked over at the castle and were shocked.
"Oh no," the Sky Demon replied as the Castle now had an Irish theme to it and the place had been covered in eternal Darkness as Magic was flowing from it and the land into a shadowy vortex above that led to the Egg Carrier III, "Froggo's taken over the Palace."
"And he's draining all of avalon's Magic and feeding it to power something evil," Rita spoke.
"Then we'll have to stop him," Reina said, "And eliminate him and his army once and for all."
"Wait by eliminate you don't mean kill him do you?" Colleen asked.
"Of course we do," Reina replied, "That's what the Arkeyan Empire does to enemies of the state."
"Putting them in jail doesn't help," Rita snapped, "Since the Arkeyans took over eliminating everyone who dishonors the empire is law. It's been that way for 10,000 years."
Alex sighed as Reina and Rita continued going on and on about the Arkeyan Empire and how they did things.
Meanwhile in the Empire's Garage Eon was having a word with Adinda as they were watching the scene unfold before them.
"Is it always like this?" Eon asked Adinda.
"I'm afraid so," Adinda sighed, "Ever since Tchang Zu tipped off my People they've been pounding into the heads of those who cross them about the ferocity and lethality of the Arkeyan Empire and how they do things. Day in and day out. Everyone I ask is too afraid to even speak to me out of fear that my people will slaughter them on the spot."
"Even with a truce the people of the Dragon Realm are still afraid of the Arkeyan Empire," the spirit of the veteran Portal Master said, "But I should've expected this with the death of the Emperor's parents and the power having gone to the Governors till he was old enough to take the throne."
"Which in his case was a year," the former leader of the Mystic Arkeyans sighed sadly, "I should've taken him in and taught him the ways of peace when I had the chance but I didn't feel like it was my place and Kira still hates me for siding with her mother and so does her predecessor Aunt Karen. It's such a shame that Phoebe was eliminated by the Ghost Pirates that attacked the team on the way to Arkus."
"Yes I know. Phoebe could've done a lot among the Governors but Governess Agatha stripped Phoebe of her Birthright, placed Kira with Karen and her relatives and named Karen heiress to the throne till she decides to hand it over to Kira. All because she gave theraphy to those who dishonored the Empire just like sophie's mom gave therapy to the school bullies. And do you know what Emperor Drake said?"
"I'm afraid to ask but what?" Adinda asked.
"If the Ghost Pirates didn't attack and eliminate Phoebe then his father Emperor Ryan would've eliminated her by impalement and the scary part is that he still stands by that statement to this day," Master Eon spoke causing Adinda to shudder at that moment, "I do hope I didn't frighten you?"
"No I'm alright but I'm still terrified at how my people can take a minor problem and escalate it into a full scale war," Adinda sighed, "And to make matters worse Malefor has already wiped out all the Stars Planets and Galaxies in Avalon's dimension and sucked them dry of all their magic and resources for who knows what."
"Don't forget that the Arkeyan Empire was tipped off about all that has happened lately," Master Eon replied, "Tchang Zu and Malefor were waiting for the moment where the Arkeyans would be enraged enough to eliminate an entire Dimension just like they did centuries ago."
"And now they have the opening they needed to enslave the universe and the Dragon Realm," Adinda sighed, "Just because the parents were only being parents. I should've stepped up more and asserted my place as a Mystic Arkeyan and rendered some of the bylaws the Arkeyan Governors put in to be inhumane and senseless. I also should've stood up for the parents more and again I didn't. Now they and the rest of the universe are paying the ultimate price under the weight of my people's rage."
"It's not your fault Adinda," Eon replied, "You couldn't have known the Governors of the Arkeyan Empire were gonna declare war on the universe. The only way to end this destruction is to take the fight to Malefor himself. However we need Xua Wing's help to do that and to do that the Skylanders, JTeens, and the Arkeyan Royal Family have to defeat Prince Froggo."
"Careful Eon," said Adinda, "Reina and Rita are gonna push the team to eliminate Froggo since Tchang Zu helped him and his henchmen escape from Avalon's dungeons. If Rose and Sara were there the team would've had more of a chance of keeping that goblin Prince alive yet making him pay for his crimes."
"Again you are right but I doubt your people are gonna be so forgiving," Eon said.
"Anyway you've got a task to do," said Adinda, "You're supposed to tell the team which Skylanders of which elements are stronger in which zones."
"True but they're heading into a boss fight which means they'll need everything they have in order to stop Froggo and put Xua Wing back on the throne," said Eon.
Back in Avalon, the team arrived at the castle and saw Goblin minions marching up and down patrolling the place and to make matters worse Shadowkhan summoned by Malefor were also patrolling the area.
"Oh great," sighed Colleen, "Malefor's beefed up the security."
"What did you expect?" Rita snapped, "Spyro, Cynder, Reina, Yukie and I battled him before so we know what to expect from the Dark Master."
"But if he wanted us gone wouldn't he personally attack us like you and your people did to earth?" Cody asked.
"That's why Malefor's got his minions but since his grumbling army was destroyed and the Apes were cursed you'd think he'd do that," said Reina, "But Malefor's got a ton of dark magic on his side so I'm not surprised he's got the Shadowkhan."
"But how could he have broken into the Dragon Realm?" asked Chrissie, "That realm is difficult to break into. Master Eon said that the Arkeyans had to use up three entire fleets just to crack the barrier."
"The Arkeyans are strong but Malefor is much older and infinitely wiser in the ways of dark magic," said Alex getting odd looks before she explained, "I did some research on him in the Dragon Realm's library."
"Let's just find a way to get to the throne room," said Terrafin, "That's gotta be where Froggo is."
"Which means we're gonna have to fight our way inside," said Reina before cracking her knuckles, "This is gonna be good."
"Get down we can't just charge in there," snapped Roller Brawl, "There are guards and Malefor's got the place heavily armed."
"And Malefor does not take failure or treason lightly," Gill Grunt added, "From what Spyro told me and Trigger Happy the Dark Master cursed the Apes after he returned just for serving him out of greed rather than any true loyalty to him."
Alex and the JTeens shuddered at that before Trigger Happy continued.
"Basically once we defeat Froggo and revive Xua Wing the goblins are gonna be eliminated," Trigger Happy finished, "It's do or die for Froggo. Which means we'll have to go all out and kill him because if we don't then Malefor will."
"I know the guy is a jerk and so are his minions for teaming up with our school enemies but do we really have to kill them?" Chrissie asked.
"Let me put it another way," Rita replied, "If we were battling Malefor back in the time Cynder was once his servant and we faced him then that thinking is going to get us killed."
"Rita's right," said Spitfire, "I may not have been a Skylander as long as the other among us but Spyro and Cynder have been battling Malefor for years and they can tell you right now that it was war torn and full of battle. Every day was a struggle."
"We understand where you're coming from but you have to understand something as well," Colleen replied, "If we eliminate those who've caused us problems then we're no better than the ones who caused us those problems to begin with."
"Save the bullshit for somebody who gives a damn," spat Zap as he wasn't in any mode to hear it but the Supercharger Skylanders save for those who were originally just Core Skylanders knew that Colleen had a point.
Eon and Adinda were watching the scene as they saw the team making their way through the Castle.
"About time somebody tells them what I keep trying to tell the rest of my people," the Ex Mystic Arkeyan Queen said, "Unfortunately nobody listens to me now and it seems that even the Superchargers refuse to listen to Colleen."
"All I know is that they better get their act together or we are all lost," Eon replied, "The battle with Froggo is going to be the toughest one yet."
True to Eon's word the team had managed to get to the throne room where they saw Froggo already lounging on the throne having taken on features of Tchang Zu now that he was armed with the chi.
"Welcome to MY throne room fools," Froggo sneered before his enemies, "Avalon belongs to the Dark Master and so will all the worlds in all dimensions. All shall Fear and Obey us and The Darkness!"
"Give it a rest fish breath," Spitfire ordered, "Return the power of Tchang Zu or else."
"The only one giving orders around here is me. Get them!" Froggo ordered as his Goblin Army attacked the Skylanders and the JTeens.
"Stand Strong everyone," said Spyro as he and the Skylanders the JTeens, the Arkeyan Princesses, and the Dragon Skylanders attacked the Goblin Army while the Superchargers stood on standby.
"These guys remind me of battling Kaos' Trolls," said Bash as he used his tail to attack and curl up in a ball to defend himself.
"Just be thankful we're not battling X Borgs," Spotlight replied using her abilities to defeat and knock out some goblins while working in tandem with Blackout to attack.
"Yeah those things are brutal," Blackout added as the other Dragon Skylanders continued to fight back till they had rounded up all the goblins.
"X Borgs attack!" Froggo yelled as the X Borgs arrived, "Can't anybody stop these fools?!"
The X Borgs began attacking but this time the Dragon Skylanders took a breather as the Superchargers led the attack using their new supercharged powers to attack while the Dragon Skylanders recharged and replenished their health.
As each X Borg fell to the strength of the team Froggo was getting angrier and angrier. "Can't any of these blasted robots stop them?"
"Hey frog breath," Roller Brawl taunted, "Your robot army sucks and so does yoru fashion sense."
"That's it!" the goblin prince roared blasting at the heroes using the power of Tchang Zu, "Prepare to Perish!"
The Goblin Prince continued attacking and attacking but the Skylanders continued fighting off the X Borgs while the Arkeyan Princesses did battle with Froggo.
"Give it up Froggo," Reina said, "St Patrick and his druids may have shown you mercy by imprisoning you in another dimension but as Arkeyan Weapon Masters we won't make the same mistake."
"Prepare for the battle of your life cause when this is over one shall stand and one shall fall," Rita added as she brandished her swords while Reina got out a pair of blasters as they started attacking Froggo.
Froggo used the power of Tchang Zu to attack the Arkeyan Princesses but the Princesses dodged and countered with their own magic before they used a sealing Jar to Strip Froggo of the Thunder Demon Chi.
"Noooooo!" Froggo Yelled as he lost the power of Tchang Zu.
"Now you're next," Rita said as the X-Borg Army had been wiped out completely. "Any last words before we finish you off!"
Before they could finish him off Froggo however vanished in thin air just as the JTeens, the Dragon Skylanders, and the Superchargers arrived.
"What just happened?" Ice asked, "Where did Froggo go?"
"Don't tell me the two of you actually eliminated him?" Spyro demanded of Reina and Rita.
"We were about to but unfortunately Froggo vanished into thin air," Reina said.
"If it's any consolation at least we got his army beaten down," said Cynder only to see that the goblin army vanished as well. "Well that's just great the goblins got away."
"But at least the throne of Avalon is safe," said Chrissie but unfortunately for her a dark magic circle appeared as Kaos' face appeared.
"You'd think so wouldn't you fools!" Kaos sneered, "You're too late. The Core of Light is destroyed and Froggo's already drained all of Avalon's magic and the magic of every star and planet in this dimension, and fed it to power Malefor's magic. Soon he will enslave your world and then all you know and love will belong to The Darkness! Hahahahahahaha!"
The Magic Circle vanished as all the Magic of Avalon had been drained dry and a mega rift appeared to suck it dry till it was nothing but a dead husk.
Later on back at the Arkeyan Empire's Garage the Team gathered and were feeling dejected but master Eon and Adinda tried to give a silver lining.
"My Friends the fact that you've defeated Prince Froggo and prevented him from enslaving the Earth with Dark Magic proves that you've gotten stronger," Master Eon said.
"But just like before we lost," Cody said bitterly about the outcome, "How are we supposed to stop Froggo, Kaos, Malefor and the Darkness?"
"Eon and I know that a series of books that Chronicle the History and Defeat of the Darkness," Adinda said, "Those books hold the knowledge that we need."
"But if what Kaos said is true the Core of Light is destroyed and so are most of Drago and Hsi Wu's relatives," said Colleen, "And this time we can't revive them the same way we did before."
"Personally I'd rather see Tchang Zu dead again," Spotlight said, "Uncle said reviving him was a mistake given all the evidence we showed up."
"You're just saying that to kiss up to the Arkeyans," Alex said not caring that the Arkeyan Royal Family was present.
"No…no no…" said Spotlight with a stutter, "I'm Serious. Tchang Zu should've been destroyed."
"It's okay Spotlight," Blackout said, "You can tell us later right now we should figure out how to reassemble the Core of Light and use it to fight the Darkness."
"Blackout's right," Drake said, "Fortunately I sent my people out to rebuild the Core of Light. All we need now is to figure out how to use it to fight the Darkness."
"Well at least that's one good plan," Ice said happily as the team was back in the game, "But how are we gonna get the information?"
"I could take us to the Library in the Dragon Realm," Alex said, "Now that I have Tchang Zu's Chi I can use it to power up the rift engines to allow us to get in there without Malefor noticing."
"That could work," said Rose "You did remember to shield the Library right?"
"After the last attack by your people that was the first thing we did," Alex spoke, "But I fear that Malefor may have destroyed it."
"However we do have an alternate plan if that is the case but for now onwards to the Dragon Realm Library," Sara said as the team headed into the Dragon Realm using the power of the Newly Supercharged Vehicles to get there.
