//------------------------------// // Eternal Magic Source // Story: Skylanders X MLP // by Skylander545 //------------------------------// At the Core of Light... Spike walked with Cynder and talked about the last Eternal Source. Spike asked, "Where are we going to find the Eternal Magic Source?" Cynder replied, "There's no speculation about the location of the Eternal Magic Source." Spike asked, "So, its going to be hard to find?" Cynder replied, "Indeed." Flynn walked up to the two and said, "Cynder, you know that statue, thats out near the chain?" Cynder replied, "Yeah, I know about that statue." Flynn finished, "Well, its moving." Cynder shouted, "Celestia, Luna, swap me out for Chop Chop!" Cynder disappeared and Chop Chop soon took her place. The Undead Knight said, "We better investigate this moving statue." At the Statue... The Statue was odd, and was moving. It saw the two Skylanders and said, "Ah, Skylanders have come. It has been years since my kind had an Arkeyan Elite." Chop Chop recognized, "Wait, you're an Arkeyan!?" Spike asked, "What are the Arkeyans?" The Statue spoke, "Before I cut to the story, I am called, 'The Weapons Master' and the Arkeyans once ruled all of the Old World. We were the first to fall to Malefor's Armies, and our Machines entombed. You seek something from me." Spike spoke, "We need to find the Eternal Magic Source." The Weapons Master spoke, "To obtain the Eternal Source of Magic, you need to prove yourselves. Then you can obtain the very essence of magic first, 'The Quiksilver.' The Quiksilver Vault is across the Chain of Fortitude, and you can go there if you like." Chop Chop nodded, "Lets get the Quiksilver." At the Quiksilver Vault... Chop Chop and Spike arrived to obtain the Quiksilver. As soon as they arrived, they saw a hologram of the Weapons Master appear. "Here you are, Skylanders. This is the chambers, where we kept the very essence of magic, 'The Quiksilver.' Like I said before, you have to prove yourselves trustworthy, by fighting through the Arkeyan defenses. Soon, you will obtain the Quiksilver." Spike asked, "How long did you hold out until Malefor conquered your people?" The Weapons Master remembered, "For so long, we held our ground against our ruthless mercenary foe. But we were betrayed, Arkeyans were possessed by Malefor's dark influence, we used the Eternal Source of Magic to seal Malefor in Convexity, never to return. But his second-in-command, Gaul has Malefor's ruthlessness. Gaul's forces hunted us down, but some of us hid. But there were too few of us, we knew that the Arkeyan Age was over." Chop Chop asked, "Why do I remember seeing Malefor being thrown into Convexity?" The Weapons Master replied, "We used our Arkeyan Elites, undead warriors to merge with the Eternal Source of Magic. Some were destroyed, while few were rendered paralyzed, you were among those paralyzed, Chop Chop. You said that you would sacrifice yourself to stop Malefor." Chop Chop realized, "I did. But Kaos plans to ressurect Malefor, if we don't get the Eternal Magic Source...he might succeed." Spike spoke, "Where do we find the Quiksilver? Time is against us." The hologram assured, "The Quiksilver Vault is passed a closed gate, that requires a key. You need to get the key and pass the gate." As soon as the Skylanders performed this task and reached a clearing that shows many chains attatched to a central chamber. The Weapons Master appeared and said, "The Quiksilver Vault is locked tight. The only way to obtain it is to align the three energy beams with the three seals above the Quiksilver to release it." Spike shouted, "Celestia, swap me out for Twilight!" Spike disappeared and Twilight took his place. Twilight was in shock knowing about obtaining the essence of Magic in Skylands. One of the pieces needed for the Eternal Magic Source to power up the Core of Light. Chop Chop spoke, "We better align the three laser beams to the central chamber and get the Quiksilver." Twilight and Chop Chop used the teleporters to each of the isles, and alignned the three energy beams with the three seals above the Quiksilver. They rode the chain down to the central chamber, fought a whole load of enemies and reached the jar, holding the very essence of Magic in Skylands. The Weapons Master appearred, "What we pass on to you, the very essence of magic, the Quiksilver." Twilight said, "This is the very essence of Magic! We could use it for the Core of Light!" Chop Chop replied, "The Arkeyans benefit this gift being used to build the Core of Light." He turned to the Weapons Master. "Thank you, Weapons Master." At the Core of Light.... As the Quiksilver was being merged with the Core of Light, the Skylanders watched from Equestria as the very essence of Magic is being merged with the other elements. The work of the Quiksilver left one thing missing...The Eternal Magic Source. Chop Chop was swapped out for Rarity, and Twilight was swapped out for Spike. But they were unsure, what to do now, so they decided to talk to the Weapons Master. As they approached the Arkeyan, Spike asked, "We need to find the Eternal Magic Source." The Weapons Master replied, "Traverse the Chain of Fortitude to the final resting place of our War Machines, we tried to use against Malefor, there is a vault deep within the facility, the Eternal Magic Source lies in the vault." "Then we better get to that Armory and find the Eternal Magic Source. But most of all, I'm not alone." "We are never going alone, Spike. We fought side-by-side against Malefor. Now you and Rarity are fighting side-by-side with the other Skylanders to prevent Malefor from returning." Rarity stepped in, "Where ever you go, I'm with you, Spike." Spike flared his wings, "Then let us go, Ladies first." Rarity stepped onto the Chain of Fortitude, then Spike stepped on. They began their journey to the Armory, where the Eternal Magic Source lies. On the Chain of Fortitude... Spike and Rarity were on their way to the Arkeyan Armory, but knowing that it wouldn't be for a while, they decided to talk. Rarity went first. "Spike, I want to ask you something." Spike asked, "Whats on your mind?" Rarity explained, "About all the Stallions, that I thought could be my True Love. Most of the Stallions only wanted my help, but others were arrogant. But, you...are differant, though you are not a Stallion." Spike began, "I'm differant because I care about you, Rarity. Its not because, I'm a Skylander, its because I always cared about you since the day we first met. But when I heard that you liked Prince Blueblood, I decided to let you go. But soon there was my time with the Soul Gem Omnitrix and how Blueblood froze you solid when you warned me. When Blueblood froze you, I snapped and became Sonic Boom. Then came my Negative Growth Spurt, when we were falling together. What we both experienced came to the arrival of the Skylanders, when I was exposed to a Positive Growth Spurt, I gained the ability to harness energy from a gem, but lost my appetite for them. But I still accompany you on your Gem Hunts along with Bash and Terrafin." Rarity spoke, "About the aftermath of your Negative Growth Spurt, you said that you always had a crush on me before I cut you off and smiled. I did not know at the time though, but I have been focused on being known by all of Equestria. When Sweetie Belle and I met Hex and Chop Chop, and they mentioned you..I cared about you as well. When I saw the new you with your wings and your zig-zag horns, I thought the Spikey-Wikey, I knew was gone forever." Spike assured Rarity, "I might look differant, but I'm still the same Spikey-Wikey on the inside. I know I can draw energy from Gems, but I can control it. Remember, when I gave you the Fire Ruby?" Rarity remembered, "That Fire Ruby was in the shape of a heart. Why do you ask?" Spike replied, "When I found that Fire Ruby, I thought it would be my dinner. But when you noticed it, I had a feeling that the Fire Ruby would be more to you instead of me plus, I was giving you something that I described because of its shape." Spike paused for a moment before continuing. "My Heart." Rarity smiled, "It was very generous of you and it was amazing. Your Heart would be a great way to describe the Fire Ruby." At the Armory... Spike and Rarity reached the depot where all of the Arkeyan War Machines lie dormant. Spike had to turn on the light to power on the facility. Rarity found transportation to the vault where the Eternal Magic Source was held, an Arkeyan Battle Robot. They guided the robot, shot down the flyers and punched platforms and Automatons, even faced a Battle Robot. They came to the Vault and saw a sphere of Purple Energy beneath a sheild, The Weapons Master appearred, "Behold, the Eternal Magic Source. The Sheild was to keep our enemies from getting to it. Now you must deactivate the sheild by deactivating the generators. But first you need to end the security lock-down, there is a keycard on the lower level. After the lock-down has ended, deactivate the generators and you will obtain the Eternal Magic Source." Spike and Rarity went down to the lower level and grabbed the key-card, went up to the upper level and placed it in the security terminal. Well, an Air Elemental Gate caught the duo's attention, Spike hollered, "Celestia, Luna, Swap me out for Rainbow Dash!!" In a flash of light, Spike disapppeared and Rainbow Dash took his place. Using her Air Ability, Rainbow Dash opened the way and flew into a gust of wind, teleporting them to the other side. Rainbow Dash and Rarity worked together to solve the puzzle and soon found a present that had a hat in it. As soon as they were finished, Rainbow Dash was swapped out for Spike. Spike and Rarity coutinued to shut down the generators powering the shield. As soon as the last generator was shut down, the shield was disabled and the Eternal Magic Source was revealed. In Equestria.. Master Eon's spirit appearred and told Celestia and Luna. "You have obtained the final piece, The Eternal Magic Source. The Core of Light is reborn, thanks to you two." Celestia replied, "We did what we had to do, Master Eon. Skylands is saved, not because of my sister and I. But the Skylanders are very responsible for saving Skylands." Luna finished, "Skylands is at peace now, because of the Skylanders." Back in Skylands... Kaos was pacing around when his troll butler, Glumshanks walked in, all fried up. Kaos asked, "Whats the matter, Glumshanks?" The troll was about to speak, when a flash of light blinded them both. Kaos yelled, "Hey, what the? Are you kidding me!?!?" He tried to find his butler in the light, "Glumshanks?" Glumshanks asked, "Master?" Kaos asked. "Glumshanks?" Glumshanks replied, "Master?" They bumped into each other, and Kaos yelled, "Get us out of here, Glumshanks. TO THE OUTLANDS!!!" As their castle pulled away, Kaos cried, "My Darkness, My Beautiful Darkness!!" He now assured himself, "But I have enough to start the Ressurection Ritual!! I'm not beaten YET!!!" At the Core of Light... Flynn was cheering, "Wahoo, we won. And everything is back to normal." He held up two thumbs up, "BOOM!" Cali said, "I still don't think, we're done." Flynn guessed, "I guess we haven't had our date yet." He did the same thing again. "DOUBLE BOOM!!!" Hugo told Flynn, "Cali is right, I feel it too." Spike added, "So do I. Kaos has acquired enough Darkness to ressurect Malefor." General Robot came up and said, "I have the intel on the enemy's home base." Hugo read it, "These are the coordinates to Kaos' lair in the Outlands! General Robot, I could kiss you!" The Military Robot said, "At Ease, Soldier." Hugo got back on track, "Anyway, with these coordinates, Spike, Rarity and the rest of the Skylanders could launch a final attack!" Rarity asked, "How do we get to the Outlands?" Hugo replied, "Why...The Core of Light!" Hugo now turned serious. "Are you ready to take on the Evil Kaos in his lair and rid Skylands of him, once and for all?" Spike and Rarity looked at each other, nod and turned towards Hugo. Spike said, "Its time to end this."
