Our heroes soon arrived at the Battlefield were they met Snuckles.
"Oh thank goodness you're here." Snuckles said. "I was just about to... Never mind. I'm not panicking. Well - kinda, but not really now that you're here. Come on, Snuckles. YOU can do this!! Okay, the Trolls have overrun our defenses and our Command Team has been cut off! We have to get to them, but we don't have much time!"
"We're on it!" Sunset said as she and the others went off to find the Command Team. Along the way, Stump Smash told his origin story to the Ninjas and the Rainbooms.
"It happened some time ago." Stump Smash said as a flashback showed him as a magic tree. "I was once a magical tree in an ancient glade of wondrous woodland." We then see him wake up to see the forest gone. "But one day, I awoke to a bark-bristling sight. Every tree, shrub and sapling around me had been cut down and hauled away. Holding up in my branches in horror, I realized that I too had been 'logged'. All that was left were two wooden stumps in the shape of mallets." The scene then changes to show him becoming what he is now. "With a resounding roar, I uprooted myself and stomped toward the gaggle of lumberjack trolls responsible. I brought together my mallet hands, and WHACK! The terrified trolls ran screaming for their pointy-nosed googly-eyed lives. Even Master Eon heard the racket and set off to investigate. And, after learning my sad story, he brought me on board at once."
"That must have been awful." Fluttershy said to Stump Smash, who was a bit sad.
"It was." He said. "But I got some new friends to help me out." Soon Our heroes met Rizzo once again.
"Ho there Skylanders!" He said. "You guys got here just in time! We need to get past their barriers, but we aren't having any luck. The good news is we've captured a troll stockpile - and there's a Mega Bomb in it! HA! Good for our side! Bad news is - it's too heavy for any of us to move. Me included. Too many years spent planting flowers I suppose. Looks like a job for you guys!"
"Ah'm on it." Applejack said as she went to get the Mega Bomb and throws it right at the barrier causing it to explode.
"OUTSTANDING!" Rizzo said "Now get in there and... OH NO! LOOK!" He pointed to the hooded figure from the Goo Factory who revealed himself to be a scientist with a mechanical body made of gears and joints.
"Greetings meddlesome strangers!" He said to our heroes. "I am Mechanicus, the greatest of the great Skylands geniuses. To make a long story short, I'm going to destroy you once and for all. BEHOLD!" He then pointed to a tank the likes of which have never been seen, nor ever will be seen again.
"W-w-w-what's that?" Fluttershy said in fear.
"IT'S THERE SECRET WEAPON!" Rizzo answered. "Doctor Mechanicus and the trolls must be using the Eternal Tech source to power that thing! You guys gotta destroy it! Then you can "liberate" the Source yourself! Thumbs up!"
"Your more then welcome to try." Doctor Mechanicus said before pulling out three toy like statues encased in dark orbs with the tech symbol on them. "But some of you will have to deal with these three!." He then threw the orbs which transformed into three figures wearing the same mind control helmets from before. The first one of them is a troll with dynamite, the second is a robotic dragon, and the third was a train-like, drilling machine.
"Who are these guys?" Sunset asked.
"Boomer, Drobot, and Drill Sergeant." Spyro said. "Okay we'll snap them out of it. You guys deal with Doctor Mechanicus and get the Eternal Tech Source out of his secret weapon."
"You got is Spyro." Sunset said. She, Shini, Karai, Starlight, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Casey Jones, Rarity, Donnie, Applejack, and Raph then prepared to fight Doctor Mechanicus in order to get the Eternal Tech Source.
"Ohohohohoho!" Doctor Mechanicus laughed. "This will be very amusing!" He then pulled a list out and started writing. "Destroy meddling heroes." During the fight, a fairy conjured up a stage and got up it to play music for the battle.
— C minor, put it in C minor
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream
Of what I need
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood
(Like the fire in my blood)
(Like the fire in my blood)
(Like the fire in my blood)
(Like the fire in my blood)
Spyro and the others free Boomer, Drobot, and Drill Sergeant, who passed out while the others and Spike watched our heroes fight Doctor Mechanicus.
(Hero)
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
And he's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
(Hero)
Oh he's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
With the super tank destroyed, the Eternal Tech Source exited itself from the machine. Just then, a small door open on the smoking hull of the wrecked machine, and a large, gold, metal larva shaped pod shoots out. It sprouts green and black wings, and Mechanicus is seen in the drivers’ seat.
"You puny-minded fools thought you could stop Machanicles!" He said as he shakes fist "Ha ha, it is to laugh! I’ll be back and I’ll have my revenge on you, Skylanders!" The entire group looks at him as he flies off. Machanicles pulls out a scroll and begins to write. "Get revenge on Skylanders." he then swipes a finger on the escape pod and comes back with oil "Clean escape pod's wing." Our heroes soon checked on the 3 formally mind controlled Skylanders who just woke up.
"Uhhh, Spyro, what's up man?" Boomer asked focusing his eyes.
"Query, what's going on?" Drobot asked looking around.
"And from where did these lifeforms originate?" Drill Sergeant asked looking at the Rainbooms.
"It's a long story." Spyro said before turning to the Eternal Tech Source. "For now, let's get this back to the core of light." everyone soon grabbed the Eternal Tech Source, which soon turned into a rocket that blasted our heroes off toward the ruins with a Mabu Defense Force saluting them. When they arrived, they soon hear Eon's voice again from beyond.
"The Eternal Tech Source." He said. "embodiment of all science and reason, it balances magic into the Core of Light." As soon as our heroes got off, it turned into an orb that orbits the Core of Light. Meanwhile, deep underground, The Green Goo starts glowing and the Golden Gears start turning, and the foundation of the machine starts rotating. Meanwhile, Kaos was watching all of this from his portal with his followers and a calm look on his face.
"You know gentlemen, despite your colossal failures, excemplified by you mutton-headingly losing the the Eternal Tech Source, I am feeling particuarly optimistic." He said. "And does anyone know why?"
"No." Everyone said as Glumshanks noticed a fly buzzing around.
"Because," Kaos began. "The Darkness is becoming even more powerful. It's spreading all over Skylands. Soon no one will be able to stop it. HAHAHAHAHA!"
"Uh-huh." Everyone said as Glumshanks saw the fly land on Kaos' head.
"You know what they say." Kaos added. "Red skys in the morning, Skylanders take warning."
"Hmmm, no one actually says that." Glumshanks said as he rose a stone slab to hit the fly.
"Oh I'm sure someone says something like that." Meowsmerosis said before turning to his allies to whisper his orders. "And I'll soon be saying it very soon. Summon Count Necropolis." Meanwhile, the fly soon flew off and went inside Kaos' mouth as he was laughing, causing him to choke.
"I swallowed a bug." Kaos said. Back at the ruins General Robot was congradulating everyone for their good work.
"Su-PERB job, Soldiers!" He said to our heroes "You've done Skylands proud!" Suddenly they all heard that old door with the skull on it open up and ghostly voices calling out from inside. This changed General Robots personallity greatly. "I may be a great General, but when it comes to the supernatural, I am O - U - DOUBLE T - OUT! This is my last HU-rah! Good luck with the war soldiers!" He then retreated to who knows where.
"The General might have the right idea." Hugo said. "On the other hand, the spitits of the Undead don't cross over unless they are severely disturbed. Perhaps you guys should investigate. That noise is coming from the beach."
"We're on it." Sunset said as she and her team travel to the beach and to the big door where they heard the voices calling out again.
"RAAAAAAAAAAPH!" One of them said.
RAAAAAAAAAAINBOW DAAAAAAAAAAASH!" The other said.
"Hey I know those voices." Raph said peeking in.
"Yeah, me too." Rainbow Dash said joining him. Just then A skull popped out with Pinkie Pie and Mikey.
"BOOO!!!" The three yelled, causing a scared Raph and Rainbow Dash to jump into the arms of Fluttershy who just had a look of shock on her face, to scared to move. The look on Raph and Rainbow Dash's faces cause the three of them to laugh. "HA ha!"
"Uh, in case you weren't hip to it that's how skeletons say hello!" Mikey said to Raph who was suddenly mad when he got to his feet followed by Rainbow Dash.
"Do that to me again and I'll teach you how my fist say goodbye!" He said. Mikey and Pinkie Pie just hugged him and Rainbow Dash.
"It's good to see you guys too." Pinkie said. Raph soon regained his cool
"Well it figures if you didn't get it." The skull said. "See, I'm not much of a skeleton. Seem to be missing a bone or 2 or 204 more like. HA! Anyway, can't seem to find my body right now. Heh, Embarrassin', I know."
"Oh sorry, we forgot to introduce you guys." Mikey said as he picks up the skull.
"This it T-Bone!" Pinkie finished. She then pointed to the large door. "When we got seperated, we wound up in there where we met him."
"Heard you guys making a ruckus up here." T-Bone said. "Loud enough to wake the Undead HA! Little afterlife humor there." But noone was laughing. "Wow. Tough room. And you think I'M DEAD." Then he had an idea. "Hey, you're the Skylanders, ain't ya?! Oooh! You know, I could really use some help finding my body. What do you say pal? Huh!? You guys want to help me find the rest of me?"
"Sure T-Bone." Sunset said. "We can do that."
"AWWW! Thanks a MILLION, bub!" T-Bone said. "Y'know, I'd shake your hand, but haha I think mines out there somewhere. Nevermind. If we just follow the dotted line here that should help. Don't worry about me, I'll just put me go together as I go." Our heroes weren't sure where the dotted line came from but the followed it and found pieced of T-Bone, did put himself together as they went, first as a skull on a leg, then as a half done skeleton, and finally a fully complete skeleton. "Ohhh yeah, baby!" He said. "Feels good to rattle them again! Cha-Cha-Cha!" Hugo, who showed up, was observing T-Bone.
"Uh - no offence, Mr.T-Bone," He said. "but I can't help noticeing that your head would make a perfect receptical for the next Eternal Source. You wouldn't happen to have an extra head on you, would you?"
"Hmmm." T-Bone said. "Lemme see. Extra head... extra head... Course I don't have an extra head! Sheesh! The living. Can't live with 'em, can't - Oh, never mind. Actually, Chubs, I could tell you where to you can find a pretty good one. Not as handsome as mine, of course, but you know. Actually it's more like a mask. Will it work?"
"Perfect!" Hugo said. "And you can take the Skylanders and their friends there?"
"Well..." T-Bone said. "Seeing as how you did help me recover the rest of my body, I suppose I could help out." He then turned to Fluttershy. "Depends on you. Think you and handle going down to the Underworld." She then took a deep breath and nodded. "Right" T-Bone said. "Here we go! Oh, your going to love this." He then opened the door and led our heroes down to the Underworld with the door slamming behind them.
