//------------------------------// // The Oracle and Arkus // Story: Skylanders X MLP // by Skylander545 //------------------------------// Whirlwind and Spike appear in the Oracle's chamber. They saw a squid like creature. "Greetings, My name is Octavius Cloptimus. And you are Flynn, Cali, Ermit, Whirlwind and of course, Spike." Cali asked, "Wait, how do you know our names?" Flynn said, "When you're travelling the bravest and most handsomest pilot in all of Skylands. People intend to know you." Octavius said, "I know all. As the molekin told you, I am the Oracle of Skylands, created from the Dragon Chronicler, Ignitus. He made me as a feeling." Spike replied, "Spyro thought Ignitus was dead." Octavius turned to Spike, "Correction, Ignitus was deemed worthy by the former Chronicler and was made into the new one." He changed the subject, "Spike, I know where you came from, but your egg did not come from Equestria." Spike asked, "What are you talking about?" Octavius began telling them a story, "Many years ago, Starswirl the Bearded set hoof in Skylands. He contacted Faust, Celestia and Luna's mother to assist him. After meeting Eon, who told Starswirl about another Purple Dragon that is going to be born in Skylands. It was years after Malefor's defeat and two Purple Dragons were rare. Your kind is only born once every 200 years. Eon gave Faust your egg and returned to Equestria with you. She would have raised you herself, but she saw 978 years of Celestia's sadness after banishing Luna to the moon. While the Sun Goddess slept, Faust came in and set your egg right beside her along with a letter." Spike began to say, "So thats why I was always calm and didn't act like other dragons. I'm not from Equestria at all, I'm from Skylands." Flynn said, "Okay, since we got this whole revelation down..How are we supposed to get to the Lost City of Arkus?" Octavius said, "I will show you the way to Arkus unless the Skylanders complete a couple of trials. I always wanted to study Skylanders if they ever discovered me." Back in Equestria, Celestia and Luna were at a shock at what Octavius said. Celestia found out that the note was from her mother and Spike was from Skylands. She began to retell her sister the story of her time with Spike even when he was an egg. "When I first found the egg lying beside me, I took it to the Dragon capital for any thoughts on where it came from. I asked the wisest dragon and even the Dragon Rulers, but they didn't know about the egg. I decided to take it in and raise the hatchling as my child when it hatches, but it didn't hatch for 5 years. Most Dragon Eggs die out in a year, but after the first year I still felt something alive inside." She turned to a picture of a griffin being hit by a dragon egg. "The egg has put itself in danger sometimes. When the Griffins brought in a War Criminal for judgement, the criminal was going to attack me, but the egg appeared out of nowhere and landed on his head. As the Griffin attempted to smash the egg, he started moving slower and I pulled the egg back to me. I carried it under my wing, but I was so mad...I...I killed him." Luna replied, "He touched the egg which made you very mad. But it still wasn't right." Princess Celestia continued, "When I found out that the school used my egg for intiating a unicorn filly. I was so mad because they were using...My Baby for their test. I was about to put a stop to it when I saw the head of a dragon burst through the roof, thats when I realized that the dragon was in fact the hatchling...My Baby." Celestia began to smile at a more cheerishable memory, "Weeks later, I was looking out for the hatchling, Spike. From all the times I taught him how to send and recieve letters to all the times we spent together. When Spike would have trouble sleeping, I would..take him under both my wings and rock him to sleep while humming a tune. It was a strange tune because I already learned this after Spike was hatched. It was like the tune came with Spike after he hatched. I was a mother to a dragon, and I was proud to call him my son. I taught the tune to Cadance when I sent her to look after Twilight and Spike. She would do the same thing I did and he would sleep at night." Luna began to tear up over the fond memories of her sister's time with her dragon son. She never thought that something caring for a dragon would be so happy. Until one of the guards came up to her and said, "There is something strange going on in Ponyville right now. We saw six creatures swapping their upper bodies with their lower bodies. They were following three fillies an Earth Pony, a Pegasus and a Unicorn. We suspect that these new creature might be more Skylanders." Princess Luna asked, "I have never heard of a Skylander that could swap. But this is something I should look into." She tured her sister, "I'm going to Ponyville to talk to these suspected Skylanders." Celestia said, "I wish you luck, I hope these are Skylanders." In Octavius' lair, Whirlwind and Spike have just one more task to complete. They had to complete the Trial of Value. Octavius asked, "Would you prefer the Value through Wealth or Intelligence?" The two Skylanders made a choice so Spike stuck with Whirlwind's story and chose intelligence. They met Octavius again. "Well done, Skylanders. You have given me so many research data. I have never had this much since Ignitus taught me the names and creatures of Avalar and Skylands." Whirlwind asked, "But where can find Ignitus after this is done?" Octavius answered, "Journey to the only whole continant, Avalar. Seek out the White Isle. Ignitus studies his research and chronicles the triumphs and failures. Find him in the Celestial Caves of the White Isle." Octavius turned his attention to Spike, "I will show you the way to the Lost City of Arkus. I'll even throw something in so you can be undetected." Back on the Dread-Yacht, Spike and Whirlwind reappeared and an Arkeyan Copter flew alongside the ship. Flynn has the coordinates for the Lost City of Arkus' secret passage. Now they planned to get into Arkus and stop Kaos before he gets to the Fist. Master Eon called to Princess Celestia. "You have done well.." He noticed Luna wasn't there. Celestia replied, "Luna has gone to Ponyville to talk to some Skylanders that can swap." Master Eon recognized what she said, "You have discovered the Swap Force, Your Highness. But now is not the time to talk about the Swap Force." The Portal showed the image of Arkus, "Here is the Lost City of Arkus. It seems that we are too late to stop Kaos from getting to the Fist." The Portal showed Kaos approaching the Iron Fist of Arkus. "At last, The Iron Fist of Arkus is mine! Now all of Skylands will tremble before me and my Arkeyans. Malefor will be pleased!" He placed his hand into the fist..but nothing happened. Kaos went inside the Iron Fist and he turned into a giant robot. He evily said, "Fear my Giant Robot Head!" Spyro saw what was happening and said, "When we reach Kaos, send Twilight, Sparx and I in." Sparx buzzed around, "Hold up a minute, Spyro. Kaos has the Fist of Arkus. He has an Arkeyan Army and a big robot form!!" Spyro glared at Sparx, "Did we retreat when we had to attack the Destroyer?" Sparx said in defeat, "No, I guess we didn't." Meanwhile at Ponyville, The CMC were having a lot of fun with the Swap Force until Princess Luna arrived to talk with the CMC and the Swap Force. Wash Buckler noticed and looked at Magna Charge, "Magna Buckler and Wash Charge..Go!!" Magna Charge's upper body swapped with Wash Buckler's upper body. Sweetie Belle said to them, "Hold on, its just Princess Luna. She's a Portal Master just like Princess Celestia." Wash Buckler and Magna Charge returned to normal. Princess Luna said, "You can actually swap." Night Shift replied, "We can swap, but Roller Brawl and Countdown are Core Skylanders, Skylanders who can't swap." Countdown said, "But I can do this." He fired his rockets and used his own head as a weapon. Roller Brawl went next, "I can slash with the blades on my arms and fire the blades on my roller-blades." At the Grand Imperial Palace in Arkus, Spyro, Sparx and Twilight were dodging traps and fighting their way to bring order to Kaos. They ran into Auric again and bought a healing powerup and the skystone for the Arkeyan Conquertron. As they reached the Arkeyan Throne Room, Sparx felt that Kaos was baiting them. Sparx was correct when Kaos burst from the floor and yelled, "Behold it is I, Kaos. And as you can see, I am Awesome. Of course, I have always been awesome, but now I have the Fist of Arkus and controlled the most superior and powerful robot in all of Skylands, I am SUPREMELY AWESOME!!" Spyro yelled, "You are really full of yourself, Kaos!!" Kaos looked at Spyro, "You think you are so powerful because you saved the world so many times over. But soon when my army leaves this place we will go to Malefor and help him build his new army! So now from my point of view you are now a DRAGONFLY!!!" Spyro said, "So this is the thanks I get for saving your behind back during the fiasco with the Machine of Doom?" Kaos yelled, "Since this conversation is over, I suggest you start running now." Spyro smiled, "I was hoping you would say that." Spyro shouted, "Celestia, send in the Winged Boots!!" In a flash of light, two Winged Boots appeared over Spyro and Twilight. They began running as fast as possible to lure Kaos to the Red Avalanche button. When Kaos was about to smash them, Spyro pressed the the button and a lot of rocks collapsed on Kaos. After that, a teleporter appearred, but Twilight said, "That was too easy. How could his robot body not handle the falling rocks?" Spyro replied, "I think he might be trying to ambush us again." Just as they reached the teleporter, The Fist of Arkus rose up and with it, Kaos. "You think you are so smart because you found my secret red avalanche button, but I can hit buttons too." He pressed down on the teleporter, destroying it in the process. "See, now your trapped, Skylblunderers! Especially you, Spyro and your idiot Unicorn friend too! And neither Eon or any of your idiot friends are not here to help!" Just then a familar voice called out, "Why don't ye pick on someone your own size!!" and a familar blue Arkeyan Robot jumped down to confront Kaos. Spyro called out, "Ermit, you fixed your robot? What were you doing while we were gone?" Ermit said, "I'll explain it later." Machine Ghost said to Ermit, "Apparently he is technically larger than us." Ermit said, "Well, thats kinda close, right?" Kaos stood up and yelled, "What? You dare challenge me? ROBO-KAOSS? Didn't you hear how awesome I was earlier?" Ermit replied, "I didn't quite catch that." Kaos assumed his battle stance, "Oh, you just made a big mistake. Fine, you want to play Tag-Team, huh? Well I summon my own Robot Minions. AARRRKEYYANNNSSSS!!!" As the Robot fight erupted, Kaos yelled, "Fist of Arkus, sheild me from this fool!!!" As Kaos held the robot down, Machine ghost said, "Skylanders, that is the Iron Fist of Arkus. Hit it." Spyro used his fire attacks even his powerful Comet Dash. It soon got Kaos' attention when he pulled his hand back and screamed. Spyro yelled, "I don't know if Robots can feel pain, but you are a perfect example!" Kaos yelled, "Stupid pathetic Dragon!" Kaos summoned his bad spell emitter, but was completely destroyed by Spyro and Twilight. Ermit's robot wasn't doing so good because it was being held down by the head again by Kaos. The Fist of Arkus started to glow a lavender color, Machine Ghost suggested, "The Fist of Arkus is experiencing strange activity, I suggest Twilight attacks it." But as soon as Twilight attacked the Fist, both her and Spyro are consumed in a flash of lavender magic, which caught the two robot's attention. It showed Spyro and Twilight hovering above the ground. But soon as the magioc faded, Spyro reappeared with the color blue and gold, and Twilight appeared to have wings. Machine Ghost said, "Apparently, the Fist of Arkus had a positive effect on Twilight and Spyro. Spyro has become Legendary Spyro and Twilight has become Alicorn Twilight." Ermit saw an advantage and attacked Kaos. He held Kaos by his head and said, "Time to turn the tables!" Machine Ghost said, "I am not familar with that motive." Ermit replied, "Neither am I." Machine Ghost said, "I suppose. Now Skylanders, use your new forms and attack his head." Twilight said, "I wasn't prepared for this, but we still have an enemy to defeat." Spyro replied, "Then lets finish him off." They attacked Kaos' 'Giant Robot Head' so many times, he revealed the Fist of Arkus again leaving it open for attack. They attacked the Fist of Arkus and soon it rebelled Kaos and he was defeated. Kaos was back to his normal self and he said, "My Iron Fist, My beloved Iron Fist!" He was going to get the Fist of Arkus again when it began to move on its own. He chased it through a forest of collapsing robots. He was going to become a robot again when another robot kicked it like a soccer ball. Kaos' failed attempts to get back into the Iron Fist failed again when the Conquertron grabbed him and flew away from the ruins. When he tried to order the robot to go back to the island, he began to shut down like all of the other robots. Kaos and Glumshanks were in for a big surprise when they crashed into an island. Back in the Portal Chamber, Celestia was shocked to see the transformation that Twilight went through when she and Spyro returned. It was almost as troubling as ever, but Eon had an idea and turned to Spike. "Remember your time with the Soul Gem Omnitrix?" Spike replied, "Yes, I do remember. I remember that you showed up and sucked Spyro's Soul Gem out of Blueblood." Master Eon said, "That spell required a fully realized Portal Master and the Watch itself. But Celestia and Luna are still in practice on trying to realize themselves as Portal Masters. It will take three Portal Masters to perform the spell." Princess Luna, who was returning with the CMC and the Swap Force in tow, "We don't have a third Portal Master." Master Eon noticed, "I will have to be put in a Pony body, Alicorn in particular. But it requires a new look for the Portal of Power." He noticed the Swap Force, "And it will take the Swap Force Skylanders to change the portal." At an instant, the Swap Force gathered around the Portal of Power and raised their arms sideway generating a magical energy which transformed the Portal of Power. Just as the Portal of Power transformed, Eon's spirit disappeared and a light-blue Alicorn stallion with a horned helmet and white beard appeared on the Portal. The Skylanders knew from the start that it was Master Eon. All Skylanders shouted in joy, "Master Eon!" Eon's Pony eyes opened, "Skylanders." All Skylanders were in joy about seeing their old Portal Master in a new body. Master Eon turned to Celestia and Luna, "Are you two ready?" Both Princesses nodded and Eon turned to Spike, used his magic and the Soul Gem Omnitrix appeared on his left foreleg. Even though Spike walks on all fours, it doesn't mean that he can't use his claws again. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Master Eon generated their powers towards Twilight and Spyro while Spike directed the watch's energy to Twilight and Spyro. Their forms broke down into particles and were stored in two soul gems. Twilight and Spyro were back to normal again. Master Eon walked over to the Soul Gems and picked them up with his magic. He spoke to Twilight and Spyro, "If you want to become your other forms, you just have to holler and the Royal Sisters will toss the soul gems into the Portal of Power. You and any other Skylanders were blessed with a great gift. Spike, you and Rarity unleashed your dark and legendary selves in Kaos' lair and your soul gems have already been in Celestia's possession." He turned to the CMC, "I will like to thank you three for discovering the Swap Force and bringing them back to normal." On the Equestrian Isles Victory Party, Half of the Skylanders were partying in the isles while the others were partying in Ponyville on Kaos' defeat. Sweetie Belle came to where Rarity, Spike, Spyro, Twilight, Pop Fizz, Cynder, Flashwing, and Bash were. Bash said, "It turns out you were a real hero for discovering the Swap Force and rescuing your friends." The Filly replied, "I did half of the work on rescuing them. The Swap Force did the most of the work." Spyro replied, "At least you didn't panic this time. You, my friend are really brave at helping the Swap Force." Sweetie Belle chuckled, "Its like what Rarity told me when she became a Skylander." Flashwing spoke, "I hear that you want to become a Skylander yourself." Sweetie Belle asked, "You really think its possible?" Rarity assured her sister, "Anything is possible." Sweetie Belle smiled and thought, "Sweetie Belle, Skylander of Earth." Twilight said, "Well, you magic might develop when you get older." Sweetie Belle said, "Sweetie Belle, Skylander of Magic!" The group chuckled until Pop Fizz yelled, "Look!" They looked up over the city of Starswirl and cheered at the fireworks that were being fired by Ermit and Machine Ghost. The duo also lit up a sign that says, "Thank You Skylanders" The fireworks show also happened in Ponyville when Canterlot lit up in fireworks. As the fireworks show went on, Thumpback thought he saw something in the clouds. He took out a spyglass and zoomed in on the mysterious object, but what saw was very familar which made him get mad about it. He saw the most fearsome ship in Skylands, The Phantom Tide and Thumpback's former captian, the most fearsome pirate in Skylands, Captain Frightbeard. He saw Frightbeard holding a spyglass as well, they both had eye contact through spyglass. After Frightbeard saw him, he turned the Phantom Tide away from the isles. At Kaos' Kastle, Kaos and Glumshanks returned. "Well, that turned out better than I expected. No matter, I have 37 more evil plans to take over Skylands and destroy that irritating Dragon once and for all!!" But what Kaos didn't know is that the Skylanders have called someone to wait for him when he gets back to his castle. Glumshanks saw someone approaching them and said, "Um, Lord Kaos, is that who I think it is?" Kaos looked to where his troll butler was pointing and he frightenly said, "Mother?" Glumshanks said before disappearing, "Uh oh." The troll disappeared behind Kaos and it looks like Kaos is going to have a lot to talk about with his Mother.
