CH. 2 Welcome To Skylands
As Squigly and Leviathan were making their way through the park, Leviathan noticed something at the corner of his eye. "Miss Squigly is that your face on that sign?" Squigly then looked into the same direction Leviathan was looking and also noticed the sign. "Why yes it is Leviathan. Let's get a closer look." Once they got up to the sign they noticed that there was a arrow pointing somewhere. Leviathan looked into the direction the arrow was pointing and noticed that there were even more signs leading somewhere. "Madame there's more than where that came from." Squigly than also noticed the other signs wth her face on them with more arrows pointing somewhere. "Leviathan maybe Filia and Samson made these so we know where to meet up with them! That was very nice of them to do so!" Said Squigly with optimism. Leviathan wasn't sure of this being the case but decided not to think about it too much. "Well than milady, let's see where these signs go to." After about three minutes of following the signs, the trail ended at some sort of outdoor theater. There was one more sign that read "Puppet Show". Squigly's face than lit up. "Oh Leviathan it's a puppet show just for me!" Squigly then took a seat in the front row as she waited for the act to start. Leviathan was feeling a bit suspicious about this puppet show. "Miss Squigly, don't you think this is a bit odd? A show just for you and with no one else around?" Squigly thought about it for a few moments but then answered Leviathan's question with optimism. "Oh Leviathan you're worrying too much now shh! The show's about to start." Squigly exclaimed in a quiet tone of voice. As the curtains raised, Squigly was a bit surprised to see a spider like actor but didn't think too much about it. "Lights in the house are dimming, prepare for the beginning, Roller Brawl come and take your seat!" This name confused Squigly since her name clearly was not Roller Brawl. "All the voices hushing as the curtains climbing, now your eyes are fixed on me! Run to your marks my pretties, and to your place my puppets, paint on your grins no time to frown! I have arrived to claim more then my share of fame, for one night only in your tooowwwnnn. I'll make you laugh and then I'll make you cry twist and tangle in my power all my enemies will cower! Stand entranced as my fingers dance, captivated when I sing, I'm the one who pulls your strings! The dances fuel the fury, the costumes are all flurry the music building to aroarrrrrr! I got you locked in nots, you really have no shot, cause I'm the one who's keeping scoooore!" As Mesmerelda said just that, Squigly and Leviathan were surprised to see that a long piece of string tied them up. "Hold your breath my deary, we're racing to finale, a tip of threat my name's in lights! Rise up now from your seat, it's time for your defeat, and we're looking for a fight! Then Mesmeralda's puppets then started pushing Squigly around while singing. "She'll make you laugh, and then she'll make you cry twist and tangle in her power all her enemies will cower! Stand entranced, as her fingers dance! Captivated when she sings, Mesmeralda pulls our strings! Mesmeralda pulls our strings! Leviathan was trying to cut him and Squigly loose from the string but to no avail. "Leviathan what do we do?!" Then a rift appeared and the puppets then began dragging Squigly into it. "Get in line. Stay in time. Kaos called, it's time to shine! Puppets dance in her trance! "You've never really had a chance! Becaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssseee! I'll make you laugh and then I'll make you cry twist and tangle in my power all my enemies will cower. Stand entranced, as my fingers dance, captivated when I sing I'm the one who pulls your strings! I'm the one who pulls your striiiinnngsss!" And with one final tug, Squigly and Leviathan were pulled into the rift. Once Squigly and Leviathan came through the rift, the first thing they see is a giant bird in armour made of tree bark clenching his fists. "Nighty night Skylander heh heh." Everything was a blur for Squigly after that. Dragged around some kind of fortress, thrown in a cage, and eventually brought into Kaos's throne room. "Ah look who we have here! Roller Brawl! Sooooo Roller Brawl have you decided to be my queen as we rule Skylands together?" Asked Kaos. Squigly was very angry and confused about everything going on and she definitely wanted answers. "For one, I am not this Roller Brawl person you speak of I am Sienna Contiello! And two, I demand to know where I am at once!" Yelled Squigly. Glumshanks then smirked a little as his suspicions have been confirmed. "See Lord Kaos? Told you that wasn't Roller Brawl." Kaos then became very angry. "Silence fooooool! No matter then! Sienna here will be my new queen instead! Ha Ha!" Squigly then became furious. "I will not be married with the likes of you! Do you hear me you ba*" Before Squigly could finish what she was saying, Kaos put his finger over her mouth. "Yeesh you're just like that pathetic worm thing that was in your head earlier!" Kaos said in annoyance. Squigly then felt the hole on the side of her head only to realize that Leviathan wasn't there. Squigly then quickly looked around the cage she was in to only see that Leviathan was no where to be seen. "Where is Leviathan!" Squigly yelled in anger and worry. Kaos then grinned a little when Squigly asked that question. "Oh the worm huh? Since he mocked my ingenious plan to rule over Skylands, I thought that it would only be appropriate to give him a very special prison HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" A lot of thoughts were going through Squigly's mind right now. Is Leviathan alright? How is she still controlling her mind and body? Without Leviathan, Squigly would be under the influence of The Skull Heart but right now she's alright. How is that possible? Kaos then ordered some Greebles to take Squigly's cell to the detention center. "You won't get away with this!" Squigly yelled as her cage was being carried away. "Oh I think I can! And there is nothing or that worm can do about it!" Kaos said in an evil tone. "He isn't a worm"! Squigly yelled back. Before she could say more, the doors closed as Kaos could be heard laughing.
*Skylander Academy*
Matt couldn't believe that right before his eyes he was looking at the Skylander Academy. "Wow" was all Matt said as he looked in awe. Spitfire noticed Matt's excitement and smiled. "So here it is Skylander Academy. Watcha think?" Spitfire asked despite knowing what Matt's going to say. Matt then looked at both Spitfire and Roller Brawl and smiled. "What I think? This is amazing! Never in my life did I think that I would be here or in Skylands!" Matt said in excitement. Roller Brawl then looked around impatiantly and this caught the attention of both Spitfire and Matt. "Hey guys I gotta go" Roller Brawl said in a hurry. As Roller Brawl skated away, Matt had become a bit curious. "Hey Spitfire, what's up with Roller Brawl?" Matt asked. Spitfire knew why Roller Brawl hurried away and sighed. "She's still looking for her brothers isn't she?" Matt asked. Spitfire was a bit surprised that Matt knew this. "How did you know that?" Asked Spitfire. Matt then chuckled a little when Spitfire asked this. "Spitfire I know a lot of things about Skylands including the Skylanders. Like I mean what did you expect?" Matt asked with a bit of pride. Spitfire was glad that Matt was a veteran portal master but he knew that they needed to meet up with Master Eon. "Glad that you know your stuff! But we need to meet up with Master Eon, he's in his office." As Matt and Spitfire walked through the academy, Matt was giddying with excitement inside but didn't want to show it. Once they reached Master Eon's office, Spitfire opened the doors to allow themselves in. Once Master Eon saw Matt he immediately greeted him. "Ah so you must be Matt! Welcome to Skylander Academy and Skylands!" Master Eon then reached his hand out to shake Matt's hand. After shaking each others hand, Matt had been anticipating to ask about this mysterious artifact that Spitfire and Roller Brawl mentioned back on Earth. "So what's this artifact that I was told about?" Matt asked with curiosity. Eon then put a more serious face on. "I am not sure what it exactly is but it is some sort of skull. I need you and Spitfire to go and seek it. We've had reports of it last seen Motleyville." Matt then realized that was where Sharpfin lives. "Motleyville huh? Maybe we can ask Sharpfin there if he's seen this thing." Spitfire then decided to ask Eon if it was ok to bring along another Skylander just in case if the trip didn't go according to plan. Eon allowed it and decided to get Wild Storm to go along with them. Once enough supplies were packed for the trip, Eon wished the three good luck and on their way they went. After a couple days of travelling, they finally reached Motleyville. Sharpfin was waiting for the three of them and especially waiting for Matt. "Ah so you're Matt huh? Name's Sharpfin and I'm the Baron of Motleyville!" Matt smiled at the welcoming greeting but knew they had to get down to business. "We're here for the mysterious skull artifact do you happen to have it with you at the moment?" Sharpfin's smile turned into a from when he heard that. "Unfortunately not mate. My crew was holding onto it for the time being but wouldn't you know it Kaos is up to his old tricks again!" This surprised the two Skylanders and Matt. Wild Storm decided to ask what exactly happened. "Kaos? But how? He's in the academy trapped in the brain's jar remember?" Wild Storm asked. "Well he clearly escaped if he was here! Sharpfin, do you know exactly where Kaos went?" Asked Spitfire. Sharpfin looked a bit down when Spitfire asked this. "No unfortunately. But I'd suggest confronting ol baldy if ya want that skull thing. Who knows what he can do with that thing!" Matt agreed with Sharpfin and decided they needed to find Kaos and fast. "Right. Come on guys we need to find Kaos. Sharfin does your crew got a lead on Kaos?" Matt asked. Sharpfin luckily did know and once he gave the three the direction to Kaos's new lair, off they went. But little did they know that not only they had to find that artifact and sneak out of Kaos's lair undetected, but also save the person who would be the key to destroying this dangerous artifact for good. And for the sake of the entire universe, they were gonna need all the help they could get.
