Somewhere in a Toy Store on Earth, there were a lot of toys on shelves or in display cases. But a specific toy started to glow red as it came to life, that toy for we all know is Kaos. Kaos looked around and noticed, "How did I get here?" He paced around and remembered, "Wait, It was Eon and those miserable Skylanders....and their pathetic Ponies!!" He decided to plan his next idea, "Step 1: After taking over Skylands, I will goto Equestria and DESTROY THEM!!" He saw a Television turn on and saw a familiar face,

"Glumshanks!"

His butler replied, "Lord Kaos, it seems your on some planet called, Earth. Its the homeworld of the humans." Kaos asked, "So what has happened since I was gone?" Glumshanks replied, 

"Well, Malefor has returned, there was a Christmas party in the Equestrian Isles..." Kaos interrupted, "Are you saying that....Malefor is back!?" The troll replied, "Well, yes he's back." 

Kaos was shocked knowing that his joint plan with Hektore to free Malefor has succeeded. Since Kaos didn't see a portal around the store he asked, "Can you ask Malefor to send me back?" 

Glumshanks said, "Why do you think you moved in the first place?" 

Kaos guessed, "Because I'm a Portal Master." 

Glumshanks face-palmed, "It was Malefor who released you from your statue form."

Kaos didn't have time to argue with his butler until he was consumed by a yellow light and disappeared back to Skylands.



In the Equestria Portal Chamber, Princesses and Portal Masters, Celestia and Luna were speaking with Master Eon about something very important. Eon's spirit head spoke,

"I need to tell you about the Giants. You must know that the Giants faced off against Malefor's armies before being sent to Equestria."

Princess Luna asked, "Why are the Giants so important?

Master Eon replied, "Because the Giants were the First Skylanders, back during the time of Malefor's conflict."

Princess Celestia asked in surprise, "They are the very first Skylanders?"

Master Eon said to the Sisters, "You need to call the Giants here, and the Portal of Power is being set to Malefor's conflict that nearly destroyed the world. The most notable event that involved the Giants was when the peaceful Mabu were enslaved by Gaul's Arkeyan forces. The Iron Rule of Gaul's Arkeyans will give rise to the Skylanders, trained by the Free Arkeyans who soon became the first Portal Masters."

The Royal Sisters called the Giants to the Portal Chamber where they would wait to be called to the Portal of Power. As soon as the Giants came to the Chamber, Master Eon said, "Now call two of the Giants to the Portal of Power." Princess Celestia called Tree Rex to the Portal while Princess Luna called Swarm to the Portal.



During Malefor's Conflict, the Mabu slaves were forced to work for Gaul's Arkeyans. They build monuments, war machines and were always punished if they rebelled. Thats when Tree Rex and Swarm appeared in a flash of light. They wandered the mining grounds for any sign of the Mabu slaves until they saw a Mabu being attacked by Bone Chompies. The two Giants defeated the Chompies and the Mabu led the Giants into the mines.

The Mines were full of Mabu slaves being forced to work for Gaul's Arkeyan Empire. A Stone Golem, who was in the mines introduced himself, "My name is Gigantus and I want to help, too. You two should follow me." Gigantus began to lift a boulder, "Its good to be Giant because you can do this." The Golem threw the boulder and walked to an ledge, "Here's another cool thing Giants can do. In someplaces...Geronimo!" Gigantus jumped off the ledge and through the cracked floor at the bottom. Tree Rex and Swarm did the exact same thing, and entered a Chompy Pit.

They fought through the Chompies and opened a Life gate. As soon as they exited the mines, they spoke to the Mabu, Norticus and pointed to the giant robot, "Ok, you two. Thats the Arkeyan Conquertron and believe me, he isn't a friendly guy." 

Tree Rex saw the Conquetron's platform being held over a pit, he said, "Maybe we can pull out those chains holding him up and you guys would be free." 

Norticus said, "You're the Giants and this is a time of war." He mumbled to himself, "I should've went to Warfang."

Tree Rex and Swarm went over to the first chain holding up the Conquertron and struck at it. Which got the Arkeyan's attention, "Anything that interrupts my ability to conquer you, this is not good." Swarm broke the chain which made the Arkeyan Conquertron say to them, "You have trespassed on the site of our glorious temples. Return to your post at once and continue serving your Arkeyan Masters." The Giants ignored the Conquertron's orders and continued towards the other three chains while battling the Apes and the Arkeyan guards. While on their way to a bounce pad, they saw a big Ape with a spirit gem as a sledgehammer surrounded by Arkeyan guards as his back-up. The ape said,

"Well, Tree Rex, we nabbed your Free Arkeyan buddies, but eight of you managed to escape our clutches....until now!"

Tree Rex and Swarm fought the Big Ape and his soldiers, Tree Rex used his Photosynthesis cannon on the Ape while Swarm used his swarms to take down the Arkeyan soldiers. Both Giants fused their powers and forced it on the Ape and soon it was defeated. They used the bounce pad and waved to the Mabu slaves until the Conquertron slammed his fist on the slaves and said,

"Interacting with others is prohibited." The Giants destroyed the second chain holding up the Conquertron, "Uh oh, Losing balance!" The Conquertron fell on its platform as it was nearly knocked out. But the robot slammed his arm on the cliff, but he failed to pull it out, "Uh oh, My stablizers seem inoperable." But he got it free and turned his attenion to the Giants who were at the final chain. He fired his laser eyes and said,

"Initiating...getting angry sequence." But when he saw that they were not getting hit, he said, "Initiating....getting REALLY ANGRY sequence."

The Giants avoided his lasers and destroyed the final chain holding the Conquertron up. The Conquertron lost balance and said, "Falling Sequence started." He broke off his platform into the pit, "AAHHHHH!!!!"

After defeating the Conquertron, the Mabu slaves fled back to their village, some even fled to Warfang, the Dragon City. Norticus said, "We are finally free, and if we keep this up we can be rid of Gaul's Arkeyans and change the tide of the war in our favor. That ape said something about capturing the Free Arkeyans, so you need to find them."



After Tree Rex and Swarm returned from their little flashback to the war, Master Eon spoke to the sisters. "You see, your highnesses. That was only the beginning for Gaul's Arkeyans has already spread far and wide except for Dragon City." The Portal showed an image of an army of robots and apes. "To truly stop them, after the Giants rescued the Free Arkeyans, they had to face the Robot king and remove the source of his power. The Iron Fist of Arkus." It soon showed the Giants appear ready for battle, The Arkeyan King ordered to attack. The Giants fought through the Arkeyans like they were nothing, and soon they faced the King, slamming the Iron Fist against a wall. Tree Rex delievered the final blow to the head and defeated the Arkeyan King.

"Without the Fist of Arkus or a king to command them, the evil robot leigon fell silent. But this victory came without a price." It showed the Iron Fist of Arkus using its power to sweep the Giants away from their world. "The Iron Fist used its power and swept the Giants from our world and into Equestria, where they have guarded the Crystal Empire ever since." The Flashback was over and Eon continued, "I believe that both Skylanders and the Giants are going to be needed very soon. Something bad is going on in Skylands, something evil."



At the Core of Light, Flynn was showing Cali his new airship called, 'Dread-Yacht.' Cali didn't want to know where he got that trash heap of a ship. Hugo came running toward them and discussed something, "Something is really stirring on the edges of Skylands!" Just as Hugo began to explain, two flashs of light came down in the shape of a life Giant and a regular Equestrian Magic Skylander. Hugo was surprised, "Whoa, Twilight, you came here in the nick of time."

Twilight asked, "What seems to be the trouble in Skylands?" 

The Scholar replied, "Thats the thing, we don't know whats going on in Skylands...but there's an old hermit who lives in the Outlands, who saw something happen before his eyes." 

Tree Rex said, "If you find this Hermit, we can find out whats going on." 

Hugo asked, "I guess the Princesses are going back to guiding you through your adventures now." He looked at Tree Rex, "And its good to have the Giants back."

Flynn got aboard the Dread-Yacht and said, "Time for the heroes to go back to action. And when I mean hero, I mean me." 

Twilight facehooved, "Very self-centered, Flynn. Very Self-centered." As they left the Core of Light with Hugo waving good luck, Twilight spoke to Tree Rex, "If this hermit knows about what he saw, then we should get there immediately." Tree Rex said, "We better and hope we're lucky that this thing doesn't fall apart on us like it nearly did when we went to that Christmas Party."



The Dread-Yacht docked at a repair yard where ship parts are bought and repaired onto any junked ships. Twilight and Tree Rex went on to the island and found a record player, 

"A record player? Is that what Flynn needs for his junkyard of a ship?" 

Tree Rex replied, "I get the feeling that it takes more than a record player to fix that ship. But he's not telling us everything." They took the part back to the ship where Twilight and Tree Rex were switched with Spyro and Ninjini. 

Flynn took them to the other side of the island because Flynn was restricted of going ashore. Not a lot of people like Flynn that much. They ran into their friend, Auric, who made an agreement with Spyro and the other Skylanders to set up a little shop on the Dread-Yacht. They found the ship parts they needed to repair the ship and journeyed to where the hermit lived.
