//------------------------------// // Stonetown // Story: Equestria Ninja Girls: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure // by RainbowRaptorDash1 //------------------------------// Everyone was eating hard, fueling up to get the Eternal Earth Source. "Everyone's stomachs full?" Mikey asked. "Oh yeah." Prism Break answered. "We're ready!" Zap said as Whirlwind nodded in agreement. "Perfect. Gill, how about you..." Sonata was about to ask. "Pass." Gill Grunt declined in a spiteful tone. "Was it something I said?" Sonata wondered in cofusion. "He really doesn't like pirates. He was in love with a mermaid before becoming a Skylander and she got kidnapped by pirates." Spyro explained as that hit Sonata hard. "That bites. Any other volunteers for water?" Mikey noted. "I'm game." Wham-Shell volunteered. "Take another breather, pal. I'll go." Zap assured. "Okay." Wham-Shell shrugged. "I'm coming along as well." Whirlwind added. "Cool! Double, you in?" Pinkie asked. "Why not." Double Trouble shrugged. "Prism Break, you in pal?" Mikey checked. "The Beam is Supreme!" Prism Break confirmed, letting out his battle cry as everyone started heading out while Sonata looked sympathetically at Gill Grunt. "Are you okay?" Whirlwind asked. "Yeah... Let's just get moving." Sonata responded as the group soon reached Diggs. "Say, how's about a visit to Stonetown?" Diggs checked. "We're ready." Mikey confirmed. "Okay, it's digging time! But we'll need to cross the Stone Bridge before we start. Follow me! Er, just tell me when we get there, okay?" Diggs said. "This won't end well." Pinkie dreaded. "Not if we makes sure he doesn't go off course." Prism Break pointed out. "Agreed." The group nodded as an hour later, they arrived close to Stonetown. "Alright. This is as far as I can take you guys. Stonetown is just beyond this Cyclops outpost. But the ground is shaking something terrible. All these vibrations... I sense something is very wrong here!" Diggs shivered in fear. "Yeah, that's actually a safe assumption." Whirlwind confirmed while flying as what she was seeing in the sky and distance, she was seeing a giant rampaging golem destroying a village. "Help! It's the Eternal Earth Source! It's become a hideous, horrific, terrible monster!" A citizen cried out. "And some kind of Dinosaur is throwing boomerang at us." Another citizen panicked as Whirlwind flew down. "We definitely have trouble." Whirlwind said. "Well, looks like this will be the hard way." Mikey noted. "A long hard way since we got Chompies and Eye Switches ahead of us." Sonata added. "Please, this is too easy." Flameslinger scoffed as he pulled out multiple arrows before firing them, defeating all the Chompies. "Now we gotta get to the Eye Switches." Mikey pointed out. "I can handle it... With my new Dynamite Nunchucks!" Boomer whooped. "Awesome!" Mikey cheered as Boomer took out the eyes fast. "Move it, everyone!" Boomer urged as the group got into the old Cyclops fort. "Enemies ahead!" Chop Chop informed as Sonata then had an idea. "Chop, use you bramble on my mark." Sonata requested. "Very well." Chop Chop nodded as Sonata connected her blades. "Now! Cyclone Slash!" Sonata shouted with Chop Chop stabbing the ground as the combined energy of both attacks caused a feedback, knocking the enemies back while also dazing the Chompies and Cyclops Choppers guarding the two towers with the Eye Switches on top. "Hit them hard! Vine Constriction!" Mikey shouted while swinging his hammer as vines started wrapping around the enemies and trapping them. "Easy target, guys!" "What was your original intention?" Chop Chop asked while slicing. "Mimicking a unique sword a friend of ours does. Bad idea, I know." Sonata admitted. "Nothing venture, nothing gained." Chop Chop shrugged. "Stealth, see if you can sneak by and scout the area ahead. Might give a tactical advantage." Pinkie noted. "Okay." Stealth Elf nodded before going invisible as everyone took cover "So your friend... Is he an accomplish swordsman?" Chop Chop asked. "Well, he is aiming to become the world’s greatest swordsman. He can cut through steel." Sonata answered. "In a dimension of pirates, we're friends with a band of pirates that actually act more like heroes." Mikey explained. "Gill might find that hard, or even impossible to believe." Zap winced at that. "Just because someone has a Jolly Roger doesn't mean they're evil." Pinkie pointed out as Stealth Elf popped out of nowhere. "There's a path we use to sneak by." Stealth Elf informed. "Where?" Sonata checked. "It’s through the Blue Water Swamp and the new Cyclops fortress." Stealth Elf answered. "Let's going but everyone stay alert." Mikey advised. "Okay." Stealth Elf nodded as everyone started sneaking until Double Trouble saw an attack coming. "Look out!" Double Trouble shouted as Chompies popped out of barrels as Cyclops Choppers showed up. "Double, can you summon your explosive copies as mines?" Mikey asked. "Yes, but how about a Magic Bomb?" Double Trouble responded. "But combine it with Pinkie's Burning Bone Ball attack." Mikey added. "Ooh! Above and below!" Pinkie awed in excitement as the duo got their attacks ready. "Burning Bone Ball!" "Ooga-booga-boo!" Double Trouble shouted/chanted as Pinkie charged her Burning Bone Ball attack and swung low, allowing the flaming skull to travel underground as Double Trouble summoned a magic bomb before the burning skull erupts the ground and collided with the bomb, causing a big explosion that took out the chompies. "Can you guys give us lessons on battle cries?" Pinkie requested. "Our catchphrases?" Flameslinger asked. "Yeah." Pinkie added. "I’m sorry, but we can’t really teach any of you three about that. The only think we can say is that it will come to you." Stealth Elf informed. "Yeah, that's fair." Sonata admitted while slicing. "Guess it can’t be 'Booyahkasha.'" Mikey noted. "Let's get into the fortress." Pinkie said as the group beat the Cyclops before moving forward, making a turtle bridge to the next isle while beating Squiddlers before encountering a Rock Walker. "What's that creature?" Mikey asked. "That’s a Rock Walker, and let’s just say they have fiery indigestion." Zap informed. "Ew." The Goofball Trio gagged. "Actually, Dragon Spike had indigestion that had fire burps while molting." Mikey remembered. "Skeletal Grasp!" Pinkie shouted as the skeletal hands grabbed the Walker’s legs while Zap spotted something on the right at a bridge/balcony combo. "There’s a key, we might need it." Zap pointed out. "Right behind you." Mikey agreed as the two moved and got the key. "Let's jet to the door and secure the area." Sonata said before chompies and more Rock Walkers appeared as she combined blades, switching her elemental power from water to magic. "Here I thought this was getting boring." "A lot of stuff are eventful in Skylands." Whirlwind explained as the group kept moving forward before they encountered chompies with stones flowing around them and an Earth Spell Punk. "Starting to hate these Spell Punks!" Pinkie growled while fighting as Mikey attacked the Chompies, only for his weapon to bounce harmlessly off them. "What's going on?!" Mikey gasped. "It's the Earth Spell Punk, it gave the Chompies armor." Prism Break answered. "Stone Wave." Mikey said as his attack hit the Spell Punk, knocking it into the air. "Easy target." Flameslinger smirked as he nailed the Spell Punk and the enemies lost their armor. "Here's an option: Run for lives and let us pass or..." Sonata started as she charged her swords, but the chompies charged at her anyway, making Sonata sigh. "Tried to warn you. Mystic Blades!" Sonata performed a cross-slash as it hit the Chompies, hitting them hard while the smarter enemies fled. "I got the key!" Zap called out as the group soon found Lightning Rod's soul gem. "This should make Rod happy." Whirlwind smiled as everyone headed into the fortress and found no one guarding it. "What the?" Sonata calmly gasped. "No one's home." Pinkie said before two Cyclops Choppers attacked. "We stand corrected." Mikey revised. "Oh well, let's go!" Pinkie shrugged as everyone charged in, beating the two Cyclops Choppers and soon found a locked gate. The gate had three locks, which requires three keys, one of said keys being to the left of the gate. "That's convenient." Boomer noted. "Better split up." Sonata advised as she took Stealth Elf and Flameslinger while Pinkie took Prism Break and Double Trouble. Sonata, Stealth Elf and Flameslinger went right, finding the second key after a few right turns. "That was easy." Sonata smiled before a Hob ‘n’ Yaro appeared and took the key before running away. "Sorry." "I knew it couldn't be that easy, so no harm done." Flameslinger responded. "Thanks. Stealth, you left. I'll go right. Sling, shoot when you got the shot." Sonata said. "Very well." Flameslinger nodded. "Understood." Stealth Elf agreed as Flameslinger jumped to a different position. Sonata got in front of the Hob 'n' Yarb which made him run straight into Stealth Elf. "Going somewhere?" Stealth Elf quipped as the Hob 'n' Yaro jumped to get away, only to get right into Flameslinger's line of fire. "Thank you very much." Sonata smirked as she grabbed the key before Flameslinger fired, hitting the Hob 'n' Yaro dead-on. "That was... Kinda fun." Stealth Elf admitted. "A fight can be fun when the people you care about are with you." Sonata said. "Really?" Stealth Elf asked, answered by Sonata's smile as Flameslinger gave her a thumbs up. Back with Pinkie... "Are pushing giant stone blocks like this always this tough?" Pinkie panted. "Nah, ya get used to it." Prism Break answered. "I got the key." Double Trouble informed as he has crossed the bridge, getting to the key before grabbing it. Everyone returned, only to find Mikey playing cards with the rest of the group. "Hey, guys." Mikey greeted. "Hi, Mikey. *Whew!*" Pinkie exhaled. "Let's get out of here." Sonata said as those holding the keys inserted them into the locks before they shattered as the gate opened. "Say what you will about Cyclops, but they're great with architecture." Mikey admitted as the group got outside as they went down the stairs before breaking down a stone wall barrier, seeing a lot of enemies. "Friend of yours?" Pinkie asked as she picked up a boomerang. "Yeah, but he isn't here." Prism Break informed. "Let's get the Eternal Earth Source! CHARGE!" Mikey shouted with Boomer letting out a laugh as he threw bombs and dynamite around before one of the bombs blew up a blocked entrance, revealing a path to a soul gem with the face of an Earth Dragon on it. "Is there a dragon for each element?" Pinkie noticed. "Uh, yeah. It's kinda obvious." Zap pointed out. "Okay, just asking." Pinkie said. "GUYS, GIANT ROCK CREATURE!" Mikey called out before he noticed the huge stone block bridge puzzle in front of him and his friends. "This will be easy." Whirlwind said as of later, the group solved the puzzle and got across the stones, making it to the town outskirts before the giant golem ran off and knocked away a Mabu. There were also more enemies as they ambushed the group, with an Earth Spell Punk to boot. "I took down one giant... This one won't be different." Mikey assured. "We gotta get past them first." Prism Break pointed out. "Let's give a fireworks show, Boomer. Burning Bone Ball!" Pinkie shouted as Boomer threw a giant bomb and the two attack fused into a huge explosion, beating the enemies in front of them. "We got a Rock Giant to destroy!" "Come on, people... It's Hammer Time!" Mikey roared, letting out his battle cry as everyone looked at him in confusion. "No good?" "It's fine." Double Trouble responded. "Wow, thanks." Mikey smiled as everyone thundered towards the golem and saw another brainwashed Skylander with him "Dino-Rang!" Prism Break called out as Dino-Rang glared at his friends. "Guys, we have to fight him." Mikey pointed out. "Time to give my new upgrade a test run!" Pinkie smiled. "I'm with you, Blasting Buddy!" Boomer laughed. "Ditto." Double Trouble agreed as the fire on Pinkie's flail suddenly burned blue. "Hot!" Pinkie yelped as the trio slid down and an Earth barrier came up, preventing escape. "Guess it's a one-way trip." Dino-Rang prepared to fight. "Guess this is the hard way." Boomer added. "Time to do this." Prism Break declared. "You guys fight the golem. The three of us will fight Dino Rang." Pinkie said. "You got it!" Mikey responded as he and everyone else raced at the golem. "Remember, don't hurt him too bad. He's just brainwashed." Pinkie pointed out as Dino-Rang threw his boomerangs at the trio. "Whoa!" Pinkie yelped as the trio dodge the attack as Double Trouble started summoning explosive duplicates. While the doubles jumped at Dino Rang, he threw his boomerangs around him, knocking the doubles away. "Try and keep him off balance. He can't hit the three of us at once." "Just be glad his boomerangs aren’t upgraded." Double Trouble said as the trio circled Dino-Rang and attacked him from all sides. He was so confused, he threw his boomerang and ended up hitting himself hard as that made him dizzy with mini boomerangs spinning around his head. "That had to hurt." Pinkie winced as getting knocked by his own weapon luckily snapped Dino Rang out of his trance. "Oy, what gives?" Dino-Rang asked. "Easy, Dino. You okay, buddy?" Boomer checked. "Boomer?" Dino-Rang noticed. "Can you fight?" Pinkie asked. "I think so, shirley." Dino-Rang answered. "Okay? Let's go help our friends!" Pinkie declared. "Right-o!" Dino-Rang agreed as the group found the others struggling against the rock golem. "Falling rocks, stone barrier and pinball boulders?! What next?" Mikey deadpanned. "I have a plan: My Burning Bone Ball, Plus Boomer's explosives, and Double Trouble's copy equals..." Pinkie started. "One big bomb." Boomer and Double Trouble finished. "A few sandwiches short of a picnic that one there, eh?" Dino-Rang whispered to Prism Break. "A bit." Prism Break admitted as the Rock Golem lowered its guard "NOW!" Pinkie shouted as the trio threw the biggest explosion they could create and destroyed the golem. "Yeowza...!" Sonata gasped at that. "I LOVE MY JOB!" Boomer laughed. "Whoa...!" Mikey yelped. "Look." Flameslinger pointed out as the Eternal Earth Source appeared before them. "Yep, that's the Eternal Earth Source." Prism Break confirmed. "Grab it and let's go." Pinkie said as the group grabbed it before they went back to Diggs as they headed back to the ruins. "Diggs, you ok?" Mikey asked. "Yeah, I'm fine." Diggs answered as the Eternal Earth Source started floating before Master Eon appeared. "You have brought the Eternal Earth Source, the eye within the eye, the very foundation of all Skylands." Master Eon informed as the Eternal Source went into the Crystal Eye while the outer shell of the pillar lowered, revealing some fancy ancient tech as the Crystal Eye then looked straight up into the sky, before the giant crystal underground fired an energy beam upward, which fired out of the Crystal Eye straight up the sky, shedding some light. "Looks like the core is coming along nicely." Mikey smiled. "I should talk to Gill Grunt." Sonata said. "You sure?" Spyro asked. "Yeah. It's fair that I should explain to him." Sonata confirmed as she walked up to Gill Grunt. "One more step and I shoot." Gill Grunt threatened. "Gill, I just want to talk." Sonata responded. "Alright, but be quick." Gill Grunt scoffed. "Not all pirates are evil, Gill. I know a bunch that are good-natured and fun loving who'd rather party hard or play the role of heroes." Sonata informed as Gill Grunt found that hard to believe. "Please, my friends and me might be pirates but we're on your side." Gill Grunt scoffed as he walked away. "I'm sorry." Spyro apologized. "It's okay, I'm sure he'll come around." Sonata assured. "I hope you're right. I really do." Spyro admitted as everyone didn't know that their next trip could take them to the seas.
