//------------------------------// // Sky Schooner Docks // Story: Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Quest // by Mister V //------------------------------// Our heroes soon arrive at the Sky Schooner Docks, where the Drow patrol 24/7, and Flynn explained what they have to do. "All we need to do is find their elite airship take it down and steal their Golden Propeller." Flynn said. "See? Simple! This is gonna be a piece of cake. Especially for heroes like us. Heroes who like cake." "Okay, we'll go get the Golden Propeller, and we'll signal you when we have it." Sunset said before leading our heroes off to find it. Along the way, Sunset was wondering how the other 4 Skylanders came to be who they are. "Hey you know we never got to hear the rest of your origin stories." She said to Spyro. "Well, I think it's Eruptor's turn to tell how he became a Skylander." Spyro said as Eruptor prepared to tell his story. "Well, it's like this, I am a hot-headed lava beast who hails from the sweltering underground caverns of a volcanic island." He began as a flashback occurred showing a rather literally hot city with lava monsters arguing at each other. "There, in the suffocating heat, arguments often boiled over. And lava creatures always argue. So it was no surprise when a ferocious fight broke out at a lava pool party. But this was no small squabble or shouting match. The fury of hundreds of fuming lava creatures created catastrophic pressure, until... KABOOM!" The scene changes to the volcano erupting, launching lava monsters throughout Skylands. "The volcano exploded, scattering disgruntled lava creatures across Skylands. The residents of Skylands had never seen lava creatures before and many misunderstandings followed." The scene changed again to lava monsters scaring everyone off. "Lava creatures are not only sullen, stubborn and easily angered, they are also very hard to understand. Several villages were burned as a result." The scene changed again to Eruptor enjoying the peace and tranquillity of Skylands. "But the Skylands atmosphere had a quite different effect on me. I unclenched my jaw, took a long breath of cool air and felt a lifetime of rage subside. Nowadays, I am considered calm and sensible - by lava creature standards, at least." The scene changes to him fighting evil doers with his eruptions "Still, trolls try my temper and Kaos causes crankiness, leading to me to as my name suggest - ERUPT! For this reason, Master Eon was pleased to invite me on board... although he tended to keep his distance." Soon the scene changed back to the docks "My my, that is rather surprising for a lava monster." Fugitoid said. "That's nothing to my tale of heroism." Lightning Rod said as his flashback showed him at a colosseum high in the clouds with storm giants competing. "We storm giants are the ancient athletic heroes of Skylands who like to be number one in every event. Aside from being able to bench-press 250 tons, few things are important to the storm giants than their grand competitive games." The scene changed to Lighting Rod presenting his skills "And the celebrated champion of the storm giant sporting elite is me. I am the storm giants' most talented thrower, and sat atop of the table in the thousand-metre lightning bolt hurl for many a year (that was until he sent a stray bolt into the crowd, electrifying a spectating cyclops in the process)." The scene changed to Kaos' giant projected head showing up and being evil as usual. "But it was during a different event - the triple gold ring lightning bolt toss with a twist - that I hit the headlines. Just as I was flexing for the throw, Kaos' giant projected head appeared above the crowd, demanding - as usual - that all in attendance submit to his rule." The scene change to Lightning Rod throwing a bolt right at Kaos. "But I wasn't used to sharing the spotlight, so he hurled his bolt skyward. So powerful was the throw that it ripped past the project and into Kaos himself, who was hiding behind in an airship." The scene then changed to Kaos' fortress leaving and Eon making Lightning Rod a Skylander. "Seething with anger and spitting blue sparks, Kaos had to accept defeat and flew away. But another attending Portal Master - Eon - had also seen the action, and immediately made me a Skylander." "Whoa, I wish I could have seen it." Karai said. "Yo, you guys should hear how I became a Skylander." Terrafin said as he began. "I'm the brawling shark boxer who likes close quarter combat." He said as another flashback showed a vast dessert with sharks playing and Terrafin being a lifeguard. "I built up my brawny biceps on the beaches of the Dirt Sea, where my worked as a lifeguard. In between fin-ups and jaw-curls he would patrol the dry, sandy waves and save struggling dune-swimmers from a lifetime of finding sand in unusual places." The scene changed to a huge explosion and sharks fleeing in terror and Terrafin rushing to save them. "One day, an explosion in the sky threatened every swimmer, surfer and jet-skier in (and above) the Dirt Sea. I leapt from my life-saving seat and cleared the area in seconds." The scene changed to the sand turning to glass in an instant. "Moments later, the blast burned across the sand and scorched it into a solid sheet of glass." We then see Terrafin being a boxer in a tournament. "Now unemployed, I trained myself as a tournament boxer. I even developed his own signature move: the risky 'over under', where I would punch, dive underground, and surface for the finishing blow." One final scene shows Terrafin hanging his belt and joining the Skylanders After body-slamming every suitable successor into stunned submission, I hung up his boxing belt. Now, at Master Eon's suggestion, I only dukes it out with enemies of Skylands - and often daydreams of knocking out Kaos in bare-knuckled bout." "Whoa, you must have had a lot of competition." Sunset said in awe. "Oh, I did." Terrafin said before turning to Chop Chop. "Okay, Chop Chop, it's your turn to tell your origin story." "Well if you insist." Chop Chop said as he began his solemn tale. "I was once an elite warrior belonging to the ancient race of Arkeyan beings." He said as his flashback showed him being a soldier in a mighty army and Chop Chop being brought into the world. "Like many of the Arkeyans, I was created from a hybrid of elements - in my case, undead magic and technology." The scene changed to him showing off is swordsman skills. "I is a relentless, highly-skilled soldier who wields a sword and shield made of an indestructible metal." The scene then changed to all the Arkeyan machines standing still. "With the Arkeyans having vanished long ago, all that was left of the Arkeyans were their machines, toiling away evermore. One of those machines was me, the last in a line of elite guards." The scene then changed to Chop Chop leaving his home to see the surface. "But I got fed up. There's nothing more tedious than being an Undead machine. It never seemed to end! So he stomped up to the surface to seek out new orders." We then see him wandering as time moved by him. "I wandered for centuries without a creator or a clue. Until that is, I stumbled upon another 'last of my kind'; Master Eon. No sooner had we met, my indestructible sword and shield were put to good use in the battle to protect the universe." "It must have been awful being alone all that time." Fluttershy said, feeling sorry for him. "It was, but now I have more friends than I ever knew I could have wanted." Chop Chop said. At that moment they heard a dog barking behind a door. Sunset immediately recognized the barking. "Spike is that you?" Sunset asked in anticipation. "Yeah it's me, and Shini and one other girl is here too." Spike said. "What does she look like?" Spyro asked. "Well, she has blue hair and eyes, red clothes, and strangely wings and a tail of light where her legs should be." Spike explained. "She must be a fairy." Spyro said before backing up. "Okay you three, stand clear of the door!" Spyro then charged the door freeing all three prisoners. The fairy was friendly and greeted everyone with a smile. "Hello extremely!" she said with a grin. "So much fun that the Skylanders are back! We fairies always dance with Skylanders. I am Persephone." Our heroes soon noticed the Drow's elite airship in the distance. "Oh dear! At it again, silly Drow! I'd best go back to the Core of Light. I will meet you there later for dancing. Happy luck, great Skylander." Persephone then left flew away and our heroes went on. Along the way, Spike and Shini talked about how they got locked up in that room and met Persephone. They soon saw the Drow elite airship with the Golden Propeller on it. They soon had a plan to shoot it down with the nearby turret, which it what they did. Soon the airship was going down and the Golden Propeller fell off and landed nearby. They soon acquired it and saw Flynn's balloon land nearby. "Impressive." Flynn said. "Almost as impressive as me. Boom! Well, now we should be able to fly even higher!" Our heroes soon got on the balloon and headed off. Soon, they return to the ruins where they saw Persephone again. "Happy to dance in this old place." Persephone said. "Here is bright and smooth, with many secret parties. We'll play here for a while time. I will wish luck on your journey. I will! I will!" Persephone soon went to a far part of the island. Flynn soon met our heroes. "I can see you hit it off with Persephone." He said. "Strange girl, that one...seems to be immune to my charms, poor thing. Well it's gonna take me some time to install this propeller, so why don'tcha cool your jets, take a load off." "Okay, we'll do that." Our heroes soon layed down and rested nearby. It wasn't long before they were woken up rather suddenly by Flynn. "Finally!" He said "An awesome balloon for an even more awesomer pilot. BOOM! It's got a fuel injected croc-a-gator, a vacuum seal-a-tron, and jet-stream thrust capacitor. Oh yeah, I'm so good I did it all by myself...even had a few parts left over!" "A few parts?!?!" Fugitoid asked looking at the pile of spare parts. "Ready to go, chief?" Flynn asked. "Yeah, let's go find the Eternal Air Source!" Sunset said. "Okay!" Flynn said. "Let's see what this baby can do!" Our heroes soon blasted off into the wild blue yonder, unaware that a evil looking storm cloud was following them with a voice speaking from inside. "IT'S THUNDER TIME!" The voice said as it zoomed after the balloon.
