Episode 14: All in the name of… Goo?


-Castle Blackthrone, Skylands-

At Castle Blackthrone, Kaos received the the news that the Skylanders got their hands on "his'' Golden Gear. He checked on his portal and saw to his dismay that it was true.

Kaos: MY GEAR! Do you see that?!

He pointed the gear on the portal to his Butler as he grabbed his head in dismay.

Kaos: They got my gear! My beautiful Golden Gear!

Glumshanks: Next they'll be after your goo.

He brought said glowing goo as it was in a flask. Kaos quickly took the flask and began ranting.

Kaos: Right. My goo! First it was my Golden Gear, now they're after my glowing, green goo!

Kaos was unknowingly spilling out the goo. Some of them fell on Glumshanks head.

Kaos: That tears it! No more mister nice guy!

Glumshanks: Um… I wouldn't exactly call ya…

Kaos didn't listen as he continued ranting and spilling his goo.

Kaos: Call out my Troll army! Launch a full scale attack! THIS MEANS WAR!

Kaos finished with his ranting, and then goo splattered on his bald head.


-The Core of Light, The Ruined Citadel, Skylands-

On the new morning in Skylands, Tyson and Belle were walking together to the Core of Light, along with Spyro and Cynder.

Tyson: Man, I feel so much better now. Ever since that experience with the cannon and rocket, it really made me sick to my stomach. Good thing Belle's soup helped.

Spyro: I know! Her family's recipe does wonders.

Cynder: Don't forget delicious!

Belle: Thanks, guys! I wonder what will be next to restore the Core of Light?

As they all reached the Core, they saw General Robot and Hugo speaking with one another. They heard them talking about the Golden Gear.

General Robot: An impressive gear. I wouldn't mind upgrading my own equipment with one of those. What kind of grease does this thing take?

Hugo: The rarest kind… Green Primordial Goo! But when the Core was destroyed, all the Green Goo drained out, and I haven't got a clue where to find more.

Hearing that, General Robot started to think about something. Despite his robotic face, they could tell that something is bothering him.

Belle: Is something wrong, General Robot?

The two took notice that the two kids and Dragons were present as the General spoke.

General Robot: Well, recently, the Troll military has taken a massive leap forward in terms of its technological capabilities. I'll bet this Green Goo business is behind it all.

The Skylanders quickly realised what this means; that Kaos' army already got their hands on the Goo.

Hugo: Oh no! This is terrible! If the Trolls have discovered the secrets of the goo, their forces will be virtually unstoppable!

General Robot: Our soldiers have been struggling to breach their main factory. If this goo is what you say it is, then failure is not an option!

General Robot then turned to Spyro, since he's the leader of the Skylanders.

General Robot: Skylander, we need your help! Can we count on you to shut down their factories and recover the goo?

Spyro: Yes, General. I'll prepare the Skylanders for the mission.

Tyson: Sorry guys, but after the experience with the cannon and rocket, I wish to stay low for another day.

Belle put a hand on Tyson's shoulder as he looked at her smiling at him.

Belle: Don't worry. I'll take your place. You can stay and watch over Diego and Alya.

A moment later, Belle was inside the cannon. Spyro already picked the Skylanders for the job and now Belle has to go to the Goo Factory. The cannon then aimed and fired Belle into the sky.

Belle: WOOOOHOOOOOO!

Tyson watched Belle flying and he definitely heard her shout of excitement.

Tyson: At least she enjoys it.


-Goo Factory, Skylands-

The Troll Factory, or better known now as the Goo Factory, is the place where the Trolls are mass producing the Green Goo to boost their technological weaponry. Right now they're in a turf war with the Mabu for control of this place and its goo. Which is why Belle was here. She took out her Portal of Power and called on the Skylanders.

Belle: Come! Boomer! Flameslinger! Ignitor! Bash! Lightning Rod!

One by one, the Skylanders Belle called has appeared through the Portal of Power.

Boomer: Bam!

Flameslinger: Looks like it's finally my turn to Blaze.

Ignitor: The same goes for me!

Bash: I'm ready to rock!

Lightning Rod: Today's forecast… Me! Haha

Spyro decided that today an extra Skylander should come. Belle and the Skylanders moved up ahead until they saw Snuckles up ahead. Instead of the Spy get up he last wore, he's now dressed as a soldier. Snuckles took notice of Belle and the other Skylanders coming towards him.

Snuckles: You must be Belle.

Belle: Yeah. And you're Snuckles, right? Why are you here?

Snuckles: The Captain was really impressed with my first mission! So here I am again!

Belle: Good for you! Can you tell us what's going on?

The Mabu nodded as he started to explain.

Snuckles: Here's the situation. We've been able to push forward to a position just outside the Troll Factories.

Belle took a little look from their hiding place and saw up ahead a small army of Trolls, but she knew there would still be some difficult obstacles up ahead.

Snuckles: The Captain took a squad up ahead, but that was hours ago! I have to stay behind to guard this position. You've gotta go find him! He'll know what to do!

Lightning Rod: Leave those little Trolls to us!

Boomer: Hey! I'm not little!

After a short laugh Belle and the Skylanders went up ahead.


Patrolling around the area where a group of Troll Greasemonkeys and Blaster Trolls. They were under order of Kaos to protect the Green Goo from the enemy. So far they were able to push back the enemy forces, but they weren't prepared for a force called the Skylanders.

Troll Greasemonkey: Huh? Hey, what's that?

All the Trolls stopped patrolling as they looked at one of them that's looking up at the sky. Looking up, they saw something falling… and it was a RAIN OF FLAMING ARROWS!

Troll Blaster: Look out!

Beginning to act, all the Trolls began dodging and running from the volley of burning arrows. Suddenly, the sky darkened, and then bolts of lightning fell from the cloud and struck multiple Trolls at once.

Trolls: AAAAAAAAAAH!

A group of Trolls huddled behind the wall of a ledge as they looked in fear at their fellow Trolls being electrocuted, as well as running away in fire as some of them were hit by the arrows. And then… a green bomb landed in front of them, and before they could react…

BOOOOOOOOM!

A mushroom of smoke was created from the explosion. As the smoke cleared all the Trolls were knocked out. The Skylanders jumped off the ledge and landed on the ground, with Lightning Rod gently releasing Belle on the ground as he carried her. With the Trolls defeated they moved on ahead. They made sure to take cover in case more Trolls came, until they saw up ahead the Mabu Captain who took notice of them coming.

Mabu Captain: Ho there Skylanders! Feels good to be in the midst of all this action, doesn't it? The name 's Rizzo!

The Skylanders approached the Mabu Captain, with Bash recognizing the Mabu.

Bash: Wait… didn't I see you a couple of times before?

Rizzo: You sure did! I used to own a flower shop, but then I started the Mabu Defense Force and then appointed myself Captain… Now I'm blowing stuff up! That's the life, I tell ya.

Boomer was happy to hear that as he wrapped his arm around Rizzo's shoulder.

Boomer: I know perfectly what you mean! Blowing stuff up is the best!

Rizzo uncomfortably stepped back from Boomer since he's a Troll.

Rizzo: The main factories are just around this corner, but these turrets have us pinned down.

The Skylanders looked around the corner, and sure enough there was a wall with turrets to shoot any enemy that approaches.

Belle: It wouldn't be easy to get through that even when we go all out.

Rizzo: Fortunately, our scout has reported a stockpile of MEGA BOMBS in the ammo dump at the top of the hill.

Boomer: I remember that! I designed them myself back when I was with the Troll Army! It is strong enough to blow up the wall of a Forth!

Rizzo: Be careful though… The entrance is being guarded by heavy artillery!

The group nodded as they headed to the opposite path of where the turrets are. After a while of climbing the path they saw around the corner another wall with turrets, just like Rizzo said.

Bash: Well there it is. Any ideas how to go through…

Lightning Rod was about to say something, but Bash stopped him.

Bash: … without making a ruckus?

Belle started to think of an idea until she got one.

Belle: I know who to call!

She brought out her medallion and called out a name.

Belle: Cynder!

Appearing in a flash of light was Cynder as she looked at Belle.

Cynder: Need any help, Belle?

Belle: We need you to take Boomer through that barricade and get a Megabomb. You told me you can drag others into your shadow, right?

Cynder looked at the barricade with turrets and looked back at Belle.

Cynder: No problem, Belle. Although I don't like carrying others much.

Cynder suddenly felt a weight on her back and turned her head around, seeing that Boomer hopped on her back without permission.

Boomer: Spyro had no problems about that!

Cynder angrily looked at Boomer.

Cynder: That's because I'm not Spyro!

Without any further argument, Cynder turned into her shadow and dragged Boomer with her, slipping over the wall without being noticed. Belle and the other Skylanders have to wait now for them, which they didn't have to do for too long.

BOOM!

The wall and the turrets were turned to smithereens by the explosion. And coming out of the smoke laughing was Boomer as he came down rolling a really big bomb that he was currently standing on. Belle and the Skylanders watched Boomer rolling down the hill as Cynder came to them. They both shrugged and began chasing after the crazed demolition expert.

Rizzo was still in his hiding post, watching the blockade until he heard laughter coming down.

Rizzo: Huh?

The Captain turned around and saw Boomer rolling down with the Megabomb. Boomer passed by with the Megabomb straight at the blockade. And just as Rizzo has hoped…

KABOOM!

The explosive sound of the Megabomb was heard as Belle, Cynder, and the other Skylanders came down to see Boomer's handywork. The smoke revealed the torched black Troll but with a happy and dazed expression.

Boomer: Now that is a Kaboom!

The Troll fell on his back and fainted.


After waking up Boomer, the Skylanders began speaking with Rizzo about their next move.

Rizzo: There are 3 Goo Factories around here. Raise the Flags each one to signal their capture. Then we can secure the goo!

Belle: With the explosion Boomer made, they must know that we are coming.

Cynder: Then we split into 3 groups.

Cynder started to choose the Skylanders.

Cynder: Boomer and Bash, you two will take the factory on the left.

Boomer jumped on Bash's back, with the annoyed Rock Dragon bucking him off.

Cynder: Flameslinger and Ignitor, you two take the one up ahead.

Flameslinger and Ignitor turned to each other as they both nodded.

Cynder: And lastly, Belle and Lighting Rod will come with me to take the factory on the right.

Lightning Rod: I'm ready to bring in the storm!

With their objectives set, the Skylanders split up as the Mabu Captain watched them go.

Rizzo: Good luck, Skylanders!


Standing above a ledge near a flagpole were a couple of Troll Grenadiers as they guarded one of the Goo Factories that's behind them. The Trolls heard the explosion and knew the Skylanders were coming, so they doubled their security by adding extra Troll Grenadiers and Troll Greasemonkeys.

However, they weren't prepared when the Skylanders attacked, or to be more precise, Boomer riding on a rolling Bash.

Boomer: Bombs away!

Boomer gleefully throws Triple Bundle Dynamites at the Troll Grenadiers before they can throw their own explosives. The dynamites exploded and sended the Trolls flying.

The Troll Greasemonkeys stood their ground to stop the Skylanders… but then they choose to run away as they have no way to stop Bash in his Pulver Roll state with just their wrenches. Some unfortunate Trolls got flattened as Bash and Boomer climbed all the way to the Goo Factory. Bash stopped and Boomer jumped off him as he threw a Bomblastic of the edge. Since the path went down, the Troll Bomb easily rolled towards the other runaway Trolls.

BOOM!

Boomer: (Cackle crazily)...

The Troll Skylander laughed at his fellow Trolls being caught in his bomb. Bash looked around in case there were more before looking at the flagpole.


With Flameslinger, he fired his Hellfire Arrows from a distance at the Troll Grenadiers. The Troll Greasemonkeys that guarded their Goo Factory watched their lookouts being taken down until they heard clanking footsteps. It was Ignitor with his flaming sword read. The Trolls charged in with their wrenches at him, but with a swift stroke of his Scorching Blade he cut their wrenches in half. The Trolls became terrified and ran away except a Trollverine as he raised his Wolverine claws. Ignitor retaliated as Flame Form came out of the armor and attacked.


With the third group of the Skylanders, Belle and the others were hiding separately. Lightning Rod was hiding behind a wall while Belle and Cynder were hiding behind a rock. Lightning Rod tried to take a peek but once his face was shown a booming shot was heard as the Storm Giant hid further as his hiding place was nearly blown off.

The shot came from a Mark 31 Troll Tank, backed up by several Trolls. The Skylanders were trapped since the shot from that Tank was dangerous.

Belle: We have to get rid of that Tank somehow.

Cynder: Or use it. I have an idea.

Before Belle said something, Cynder sunk into her shadow and came out of their hiding place. The Tank noticed the shadow and fired, but it missed as the shadow moved quite fast. The shadow then entered the Tank while the Troll commandeering it was confused as he had lost sight of the shadow… until Cynder appeared beside him.

Cynder: Hey.

The hatchet suddenly opened and the Troll was thrown out of his seat. The Trolls were confused at this until they saw the Tank turn around and aimed the barrel at them as Cynder smiled.

Cynder: And now you should run.

And that's what the Trolls did as they ran away while the Tank started shooting at them. Seeing that Lightning Rod came out of his hiding place and gathered thunder in his hands.

Lightning Rod: Feel my THUNDER!

The Storm Giant unleashed a fast Thunderation, hitting all the runaway Trolls.

Back with Rizzo, he along with Shuckles waited to see the flags being raised by the Skylanders, and they did as all three locations raised a red flag, signifying that the Skylanders succeeded in getting all three Goo Factories.

Rizzo: They did it!

Both him and Shuckles cheered at the Skylanders success.


The Skylanders regrouped at one of the Goo Factories, and Rizzo and Snuckles came as well as the Mabu Captain was congratulating them.

Rizzo: Thank you, Skylanders! Thanks to you we've now secured the factories, but the Trolls are certain to retaliate. Let's hurry up and get this Goo back to the General! He'll be expecting it.

Belle: Um. How are we gonna bring this Goo back to the Core of Light?

Snuckles laughed at that.

Snuckles: (Laugh)... Fortunately, all these Goo Factories have a transport feature. We'll be at the Citadel in no time!

Everyone entered inside the Goo Factorie as Belle followed them.

Belle: What kind of transportation it'll be, I wonder?

Belle's question was answered once they were all inside. The place was cramped. Suddenly a sense of dejavu crept on Belle as the girl was now figuring out what kind of transportation this is.

Belle: Good thing Tyson isn't here. He'll feel nausuous again.

The roof of the factory opened and out came a cannon as it aimed in the sky.

Belle: Yep! We're in a cannon.

The cannon fired off its passengers and Belle could be heard shouting in excitement again..

Belle: WWWOOOOOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOOO!


-The Core of Light, The Ruined Citadel, Skylands-

Belle, and the Skylanders were back at the Citadel. Floating near Hex was a blob of the Green Goo that's suspended by her magic.

Belle: Man, being fired from a cannon really is fun!

Tyson: Not for me! I really hope that I don't go inside another cannon again.

As Belle comforted him, Cynder nodded for Hex to send the Green Goo at the Core of Light.

Master Eon: The Green Goo of Primordia, made from the Fossils of vast prehistoric Explodasaurs, it pulses with unimaginable power.

The glowing Green Goo poured on the sides and started forming a circle beneath the ancient letters of the platform, as well on the pedestal where the Crystal Eye and the Twin Spouts are. Underground, the goo was flowing through the roots and vines created by the Eternal Life Source, as its glow can be seen in it.

Hugo: Glowing Green Goo acquired! Now we need the Eternal Tech Source!

Tyson: I hope it isn't soon. I don't want to use the cannon again for a long time.

General Robot: I hate to disappoint you, Soldier. But I know where the Tech Source you're looking for is, so we'll leave tomorrow in the morning!

Hearing that, which means using the cannon again, Tyson fainted.


Eruptor

Bio: Eruptor is a force of nature, hailing from a species that lived deep in the underground of a floating volcanic island until a massive eruption launched their entire civilization to the surface. He's a complete hot head - steaming, fuming, and quite literally erupting over almost anything. To help control his temper, he likes to relax in lava pools, particularly because there are no crowds.


Sonic Boom

Bio: Long ago, Sonic Boom took refuge high atop a mountain peak in the far reaches of Skylands, hoping to keep her Griffin hatchlings safe. But despite her precautions, a devious Wizard tracked her down and placed a wicked curse on the Griffin eggs. Once hatched, the young hatchlings can live for only mere moments before they magically return to their shells… only to be hatched again in an endless cycle. Wanting to prevent such evil from happening to others, Sonic Boom joined the Skylanders and has trained her young to defend Skylands each time they are hatched.
