//------------------------------// // Supercharged Future Part 2 // Story: Skylanders X MLP // by Skylander545 //------------------------------// After arriving at the Academy of this time period, the nine were given a lesson from the Master Eon of this time period explaining of the Fall of Echo Squadron and what they had to do in order to prevent the fall which was pointed directly to EQG Spike to light their darkest hour back home. They were soon told about the origin of The Darkness which revealed to be a piece of Malefor's influence summoned by the Dark Rift Engine from Convexity. There was no doubt about it that Kaos would attack the Academy after his former butler Glumshanks warned them, so EQG Drobot built a robot with the supplies and called him 'Blaster-Tron.' EQG Legendary Spyro, Snap Shot and Glumshanks journeyed to an ancient vault and recovered the Dark Rift Engine. Along the way, a mercenary squadron called 'Avenger Squadron' joined them in the fight against the Sky-Eater as the Supercharger flyers trained Mabu pilots for combat. Once training and preparations were complete, assembled in the Academy hanger, all Supercharger flyers were in their vehicles alongside a small squadron of trained Mabu pilots with Echo Squadron leading the charge. EQG Drobot was inside his Gyrocopter as he decided to make a role call on all wings, "All Wings Report in." Bowser was onboard his Clown Cruiser as he spoke, "Red Leader Standing By." Hurricane Jet-Vac spoke from his Jet Stream, "Jet Leader Standing By." Stormblade spoke from her Sky Slicer, "Slicer Leader Standing By." Astroblast spoke from the Sun Runner, "Gold Leader Standing By." Thrillipede spoke from his Buzz Wing, "Grey Leader Standing By." Super Shot Stealth Elf spoke from her Stealth Stinger, "Green Leader Standing By." EQG Legendary Spyro spoke, "Echo Leader Standing By." After all wings reported in EQG Drobot decided to give everyone the lowdown, "All right boys and girls, listen up. The Sky-Eater is on its way to stop us from using the Core of Light. If we all know Kaos, he'll probably monologue on how we are preventing our inevitable doom. That's when I'll strike at the Sky-Eater using an EMP missile provided by our friends from the patrolling Avenger Squadron. Once the Sky-Eater is disabled, that's when all fighters commence attack on the Sky-Eater. Our job is to ensure that our human Spike get inside the Sky-Eater and activate the Dark Rift Engine in the Control Center. Doing so would open the portal of convexity and kick The Darkness back to where it came from. Avenger Squadron is going to provide support for Spike to fly into the station." All green signal lights flashed at EQG Drobot as he smiled, "Good, Wait for my signal and then launch." He launched from the hanger and cloaked to prevent detection from the Sky-Eater. At the Core of Light, Mags was working to install the Eye of the Ancients into the machine, accompanying her was Sharpfin and Blaster-Tron as he scanned the Core's condition, "Machine is ready for Eye of the Ancients." Mags nodded, "It sure is ready, Blaster-Tron. I bet that Kaos won't 'See' that coming." She laughed, "Get it?" That wasn't such a good joke as Sharpfin face palmed while Blaster-Tron shook his head. Mags continued to laugh at her joke until everyone heard a sinister maniacally laughter as Blaster-Tron yelled, "Enemy Approaching!" They all looked up and spotted the Sky-Eater looming overhead as Kaos spoke over the intercom, "Attention miserable do-gooding fools! You may have thought you could hide from your doom! But you have only managed to prolong the inevitable. BEHOLD as I, KAOS! Personally destroy you and your STUPID CORE OF LIGHT!" Kaos was just about to activate his rift weapon until the intercom soon activated and a familiar voice caught everyone's attention, "Not so fast, Kaos!" Kaos soon recognized that voice, "You! I thought I've killed you!" "Ten years ago perhaps, but not today! Today is where you will not destroy the Core of Light. Today is the day where your evil schemes come to an end!" Kaos retaliated, "Oh yeah? With what? I have the most powerful station in all of Skylands and no Super-Losers are going to destroy it! Only I KAOS! Control the power of Land, Sea, and Sky!" A new voice soon came on the intercom, "I have waited ten years to see you pay Kaos! And you can't escape us anymore!" Kaos asked, "What? Who is this?" The voice replied, "You know who I am, you shrimp! I was a member of Echo Squadron until you killed them! I watched my brothers die, my human Drobot dying in my arms ten years ago!" EQG Drobot realized that this was coming from the leader of Avenger Squadron. What Master Eon told him, he and Sonata were shot down during the battle of the ultimate weapon. The fact that Avenger Leader mentioned him dying in her arms, he was going to save it for later as he decided spring his surprise, "Kaos, try to activate that rift. I dare you, I double-dare you, Shorty! Activate that Rift!" Kaos snickered, "You have just sealed your DOOM!!" The rift activated as EQG Drobot smiled, "Oh really?" He got a lock-on, "Echo 2 FOX 2!" The copter decloaked as the missile fired and struck the Sky-Eater. The EMP Shockwave is similar to that of a Crystal Geode exploding. The shockwave disabled the station's weapon and its shield. Kaos spoke in surprise, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY AWESOME DOOMSTATION OF ULTIMATE DOOMSTRUCTION!?" EQG Drobot replied, "Something that had to be done!" That served as a signal for all fighter groups to launch and join formation to attack the Sky-Eater. EQG Drobot smiled as he said, "Say your prayers, Kaos!" As all squadrons got in formation with Echo Squadron leading the formation, EQG Legendary Spyro spoke, "All right people, keep an eye out for any defensive fighters around the Sky-Eater. Avenger Squadron, create a perimeter around Spike. We need him to get inside the bad year blimp." EQG Spike replied, "The Dark Rift Engine delays my turning, I'll need you guys to keep me covered." Avenger Leader spoke, "Don't worry, my boys and I got you covered." EQG Drobot soon spoke, "Wait, you mentioned that you were a member of Echo Team and I died in your arms! Who are you, really?" Avenger Leader decided to transmit through vid-comm. She spoke, "I guess I couldn't hide myself forever...not even from myself." Her statement was towards Sonata as she was confused. Avenger Leader soon placed her hands onto her helmet and with a slight hiss, the helmet was removed, revealing a battle-scarred but still recognizable face of Sonata Dusk of this timeline. This got a shock to others as Super Shot Stealth Elf spoke, "Sonata? But I saw you go down ten years ago." The Future Sonata replied, "I did go down...but I survived and I wasn't alone." The image of Avenger 2 appeared, helmet also off as a battle-scarred, but recognizable face of the EQG Camo, "I'd like to talk about this, but now we have a Sky-Eater to destroy." EQG Legendary Spyro nodded, "Jet Group, Slicer Group, Gray Group, go after the Sky-Eater's defense turrets. Red Group, Gold Group, Green Group, you guys are with us. We're going after the fighters!" Future Sonata analyzed this strategy and spoke, "Avenger Squadron and Echo 6, we'll make our insertion run while the others draw their fire away from us!" EQG Spike, shaking off from that revelation replied, "Copy Avenger Leader, I'll be right behind you." Jet, Slicer and Grey groups descended to the surface of the station, several defense turrets started spinning up while the fighters were maneuvering out. Jet-7 spoke, "Heavy fire, boss. 20 degrees!" Hurricane Jet-Vac answered, "I see them. Stay Low!" As Slicer Group was weaving through enemy fire from those turrets, Gray group was also maneuvering out and in to draw enemy fire away from Avenger Squadron and EQG Spike. Suddenly, although carrying important cargo, EQG Spike's gyrocopter sped forward as he announced, "This is Echo 6, I'm going in." At that moment, the gyrocopter's guns start going off as several explosions went off on the surface. As he flew into the debris from the explosion, he heard the future Sonata yell, "Spike, Pull Up!" He pulled back on the stick as he eased upward above the surface. He heard Stormblade ask, "Are you all right?" EQG Spike shrugged, "I got a little cooked, but I'm okay." Future Sonata stated, "You're still carrying that Rift Engine, Spike." EQG Spike laughed, "But that doesn't mean I can't fight. The engine only delays my turning for a bit." Future Sonata although agitated, stated, "Okay, You can help. But I'm putting you in charge of two of my wingmen. They're going to keep you cover while you help thin out enemy fire." She soon spoke to the future EQG Camo, "Camo, you and your son keep our friend covered." Future EQG Camo nodded, "Got it." He soon spoke to Avenger 3, "Sunblast, you're with me. We going to keep our friend from the past some cover." Avenger 3 nodded, "Got it, Dad." Two gyrocopters soon moved next to EQG Spike as Thrillipede spoke, "Watch yourself, there's a lot of fire coming from the right side of that deflection tower!" EQG Spike nodded, "I'm on it!" Future EQG Camo spoke, "We've analyzed the amount of enemy fire and determined that even drawn away it would still not be enough. It needs to be reduced before we make our run. We have three deflection towers around the mouth of station that would pick us off before we even make it inside. There are several fighter squadrons launching from that point and guarding it." EQG Spike nodded, "Red Leader, this is Echo 6." Bowser asked, "What do you need?" EQG Spike stated, "Destroy the fighter squadrons around the mouth of the Sky-Eater, so we can make our run!" Bowser nodded, "My group is on their way." Future EQG Camo spoke, "They will handle they fighters. We have to destroy those deflection towers." EQG Spike replied, "Got it, let's go to work!" The team soon started to cut across the exterior of the Sky-Eater towards the first deflection tower. Meanwhile, Echo Squadron along with Gold and Green Group were going after the fighters that are going to attack the Academy directly. EQG Legendary Spyro spoke, "Accelerate to Attack Speed, draw all fire away from Academy and the Core of Light!" Astroblast spoke, "Copy Echo Leader." The Sun Runner flew passed the fighters that were trying to act the Core of Light until its presence caused the fighters to go after the Sun Runner as Astro mocked, "Hey, I'm your target, not that machine!" EQG Legendary Spyro asked, "Dro, What is the capabilities of those fighters?" EQG Drobot did an analysis, "These are Kaos' Doom Jet fighters, they are capable for a multirole combat mission and depend on numbers to overrun any squadron. I'm thinking he called them Doom Jets because 'Doom' is his basic word. But they are also unshielded, their multirole capabilities is downgraded by their lack of shields." They saw several Mabu fighters swerve around and shoot down several Doom Jets that were trying to destroy the Medical Tower of the Academy. This was soon interrupted when an enemy fighter was opening fire on Legend as he maneuvered away from the offending fighter as he barrel-rolled over the fighter and used a missile on the craft, destroying it. All of a sudden, they spotted several more Doom Jets fly passed the Academy. EQG Legendary Spyro asked, "Where are those fighters heading?" His questioned was answered when he saw the fighters diving directly at the ship pulling the island. He yelled, "All craft, there is a squad of enemy fighters heading straight for the tow ship!" A Mabu pilot flying standard issue fighter craft spoke, "I'm on it, Echo Leader!" The Mabu fighter intercepted the fighters while shooting down two with the same shot as Super Shot Stealth Elf spoke, "Good shot, Green 2!" Legend noticed several fighters gaining on the Stealth Stinger, "Stealth Elf, watch out! Bogeys are on your tail!" Super Shot Stealth Elf spoke in surprise, "I see them!" The Stinger disappeared as Super Shot Stealth Elf finished, "Now they don't." The Doom Jet fighters were all confused by the Stinger's disappearing act until the copter appeared behind them as its cannons spun up as green cannon fire opened up on the fighters as both craft got confused and flew into the Stealth Stinger's crosshairs and getting riddled with holes followed by two explosions. Super Shot Stealth Elf announced, "Fighters down!" EQG Legendary Spyro spoke, "I see it, Stealth Elf, good work." He soon contacted Avenger Squadron, "Avenger, what's the status of those deflection towers?" Future Sonata replied, "Spike and two members of my squadron have already destroyed two out of three towers." EQG Legendary Spyro contacted Red Group, "Bowser, what's the status of those fighter squadrons?" Bowser replied, "Fighters are down to 20% Strength. We got this in the bag, just enough for your guys to make their run!" EQG Legendary Spyro nodded, "All right, keep up the good work!" He soon ordered Jet Squadron and Slicer Squadron to open fire on the surface guns and deflection towers in order to create a clear path for Avenger Squadron and Spike to make their run. It wasn't until he heard a transmission from Buzz, "All Fighters be advised, the black copter has been sighted!" Legend asked, "Where?" Mags spoke, "We've spotted him on the radar a few minutes ago. But he dropped off soon after. He may be in possession of stealth technology for his ship. Stay heads up, Echo Leader!" Legend nodded, "High Copy, Academy." Legend soon pursued a Doom Jet fighter that was attempting a strafing run on the academy grounds. The mere presence of the blue and gold gyrocopter caused the fighter to pull back as the copter pursued. He got a good line of sight on the fighter until he heard EQG Drobot yelled, "Spy, Look out, there are fighters on your six!" He realized the situation as he pulled away from his target with his pursuer behind him as he was maneuvering out of the way to shake him. So he decided to ease off on the throttle so the Doom Jet could get close to the copter. Once the fighter was close enough, Spy swapped to hover mode as the fighter flew past the copter before switching back to Jet-Mode. He was closing in for a shot with his cannon until he saw several fighters form up on his target. He heard Sonata speak, "Spy, use your SP Weapon on those fighters!" Legend switched from his missiles to his Advanced Long Range Air-to-Air missiles or XLAA for short. He locked on to four targets including the one that he was pursuing and fired the XLAA missiles. These were designed to launch and seek in on their locked-on targets. These missiles were also fired simultaneously and traveled at high speed towards their intended targets. The missiles impacted and destroyed the enemy fighters as EQG Terrafin spoke, "Nice work on the fighters, Spy!" The EQG pilot nodded as he replied, "Thanks." He soon contacted the others, "All groups this is Echo Leader, What's the situation at the Sky-Eater's mouth?" EQG Spike spoke, "This is Spike, we've destroyed the deflection towers. Red Group is currently keeping the fighters all tied up." EQG Legendary Spyro soon contacted Bowser, "Echo to Red, give me a Sitrep!" Bowser replied, "Bowser here, we've taken care of the fighters guarding the mouth!" Legend knew that this was the moment of truth, "Confirmed! Avenger Squadron and Echo 6, you are cleared to start your run!" Future Sonata spoke, "Roger, proceeding to insertion." The copters from Avenger Squadron soon formed up as Echo 6 joined them and flew into the mouth of the Sky-Eater. Future Sonata spoke, "This is Avenger Leader, we're in. But there are still fighters out and about attempting to come in after us!" EQG Legendary Spyro replied, "Got it! We'll deal with the rest of fighters. Be sure to send Kaos our regards." After that all flight groups began to pursue the remaining enemy fighters to stop any of them from going in after Avenger Squadron Legend spotted three fighters gaining on Hurricane Jet-Vac, "Watch yourself, Jet-Vac! There's a flight of fighters on your six!" Hurricane Jet-Vac noticed, "I see those blasted fighters! Time to give them a plate of haggis! Jet 3, Jet 2 drop in on them." A Mabu pilot, Jet 3 spoke, "Got it!" Two Mabu aircraft dropped in on those Doom Jets and shot down those craft. Jet 2 noticed, "Three more fighters, coming in at twenty degrees!" Hurricane Jet-Vac ordered, "Move to the left, I'll take the leader!" The Mabu aircraft banked to the left as the Jet Steam flew in and fired its air blades at the Doom Jet fighter destroying it in the process. Stormblade was with her group as the Mabu fighters took down several Doom Jet fighters on their own. She trained these pilots for this battle and knew that it was the right decision until she noticed a fighter on her tail as she performed a counter-maneuver as the Sky-Slicer flipped over the Doom Jet and opened fire. The Doom Jet was destroyed as her squadron formed up on her craft. Thrillipede was flying his Buzz Wing through a group of Doom Jets surprising the enemy and allowing his Mabu wingmen to take them down. The Mabu were surprised by the millipede's courage and heard stories about the Legendary race with Flynn and how he said that he 'let Thrillipede win' but after witnessing it first-hand. It was more like Flynn was jealous of him. As for EQG Legendary Spyro, he spotted a group of Doom Jet fighters trying to dive into the Sky-Eater after Avenger Squadron. But Legend surprised the fighters and convinced the fighters that he was a top priority and not the infiltrators. Legend maneuvered in front of the fighters and switched to his SP Weapon. As he got in range, six red reticles appeared over the fighters as he pulled the trigger, "Fox 3!" The XLAA Missiles launched and impacted the fighters, destroying them and that was pretty much the last of them. Now with the sky sanitized they thought it would be a time to relax until EQG Terrafin yelled, "Legend, it's him, it's Dark Spyro!" EQG Legendary Spyro realized, "Oh no!" He looked through the explosions of the fighters that he destroyed and spotted the black and silver copter approaching at high speed as it launched a missile straight at Legend. He couldn't bank away because he was caught completely off guard. Until he sees the Sun Runner fly between the copter and the missile as it impacted the craft. The resulting explosion shook Legend's copter as he looked down and saw the Sun Runner spiraling down trailing smoke. He was now worried, he announced, "Gold Leader has been hit! ASTROBLAST!!" He followed the crippled ship as he spoke, "Astroblast, are you okay?!" There was no response for a while until a cough came on the radio followed by the Light Supercharger speaking, "I'm fine but the Sun Runner is done for." Legend replied, "Bail Out!" Astroblast replied sadly, "I can't, I keep pulling with both hands, nothing is happening." Legend desperately yelled, "ASTRO EJECT!" Legend now worried for his friend's life thought of a crazy idea to get Astroblast out of there after assessing the damage and the landscape beneath them. There was islands and water so he spoke, "Astro, Invert and stay in the invert!" Astroblast asked, "What are you..." Legend replied, "I'm going to shoot your canopy off and then drop out of the Sun Runner!" Astroblast tried to say, "I don't think..." Legend ordered, "DO IT!!" Astroblast inverted until the Sun Runner was completely upside down as EQG Legendary Spyro lined up his shot with the Sun Runner's canopy. He knew for certain that he's only got one shot at shooting off the canopy to save Astroblast. He got a lock on the Sun Runner and squeezed the trigger, firing the cannon at the Sun Runner, hitting the canopy as it blew off the ship with Astroblast dropping out of the ship as it explodes. He looked out to see the Supercharger hovering down as he announced, "I See Him!" Everyone was relieved to know that Astroblast was safe. But as EQG Legendary Spyro looked out to the distance and saw the familiar black copter speeding towards him as he spoke, "Dark." EQG Dark Spyro spoke, "Legend." Sonata shouted, "He's coming in head-on, Spy. Now's your chance, shoot!" He gunned his engines at EQG Dark Spyro's copter as he unleashed his missiles at his rival. There was an impact as Dark's copter rolled to the side as both copters passed by each other at a knife edge. Legend turned to see that his rival was trailing smoke flying away from the battlefield. Hurricane Jet-Vac announced, "Academy, I have one black Arkeyan Gyrocopter on my scope and in visual range." Buzz spoke, "That's Dark Spyro! He's flying North-Northeast." Not wanting him to get away, Legend spoke, "All Echo Members form up on me! We're going North-Northeast after Dark Spyro!" Blaster-Tron spoke from the Academy, "What is the status of Gold Leader?" Legend replied, "Gold Leader is just hitting the water." EQG Drobot asked, "Are you sure about going after him?" Sonata spoke, "Think about it, if we find out where he's hiding, we'll most likely find Adagio as well." EQG Terrafin warned, "Guys, I'm low on fuel." EQG Camo spoke, "So am I." Legend realized, "Everyone activate refueling pods so that we can refuel each other safely. After that, we go full speed after Dark Spyro." He looked and saw the fleeing copter trail smoke as he knew that getting him was the moment of truth. EQG Terrafin spoke, "There's no way were letting that knucklehead get away!" Legend replied, "We won't. Academy, Gold Leader is in the water. We're turning him over to Search and Rescue." Legend looked over to where Astroblast landed as Blaster-Tron spoke, "Gold Leader's Beacon is lost." Legend yelled, "ASTRO!!" He calmed down as he activated the refueling sequence and spoke, "Refueling pods activated!" All of the refueling pods were activated as the team docked with each other to refuel. At the Canterlot Portal Chamber of this time period, Celestia of this time period was speaking with the mysterious hooded quadruped as she began while the creature's hood was down, "They have entered the Sky-Eater with the Dark Rift Engine onboard the human Spike's copter." The shadowed head nodded, "I know, your highness. But onboard that copter, the human Spike had two passengers onboard the copter." Celestia asked, "Tell me, what did you sense?" The figure smiled as he spoke, "It's him, Celestia. His passengers are Kaos' butler, Glumshanks and...it's..." He soon started to show a tear of joy as he replied, "Him." Celestia smiled, "I know as well that he's with them as well." Pop Fizz's daughter soon joined in, "What do you intend to do?" He turned towards the unicorn as a white horn emerged from the shadows that illuminated a pair of emerald green eyes as he spoke, "The only thing that I have to do, Fizzy Sparkle." Big Bubble Pop Fizz smiled, "You are beginning to act like your father." The hood soon came on as he replied, "Determined, just like him." Now with his focus back, he soon turned to the remaining Next Generation Skylanders as he spoke, "Now with that aside, the leader and number 2 of Avenger Squadron are indeed survivors from Echo Squadron. Surprisingly, it was Sonata Dusk and our EQG Camo, they somehow survived the battle 10 years ago. And soon they became determined to get revenge on Kaos for what he did to the rest of the squadron. I'm guessing that they formed Avenger Squadron to avenge Echo Squadron." Fizzy Sparkle asked, "But what of the other Avenger Squadron members?" All of a sudden, the plant dragon/Pegasus hybrid soon sensed something as well as the Supercharger Spitfire. Fizzy asked the hybrid, "Sunblast, what's going on?" The hybrid replied, "When Avengers 2 and 3 joined with EQG Spike, I felt a familiarity in Avenger 3. He's..." Celestia realized, "He's your human counterpart." Big Bubble Pop Fizz soon spoke, "From what I remember, after the battle EQGs Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Spitfire disappeared when Echo Squadron was confirmed shot down and killed or so we thought. But if my calculations are correct, the remaining members of Avenger Squadron are the offspring of the original members." Luna of this time period replied, "That doesn't seem possible unless they were with child before that fateful battle." The Supercharger Spitfire spoke, "They must've been with child before that battle. I could even sense my human counterpart as Avenger 4." The hooded creature nodded as he spoke, "We better keep our heads up for any new updates." He watched as Avenger Squadron reached the interior of the station. Inside of the Sky-Eater, EQG Spike and Avenger Squadron travelled through the intake and erosion tunnels to get to the interior of the Sky-Eater. But there was still the energy orbs in the station and the interior defense turrets. Glumshanks asked, "Hey, um...Sonata, so when are we actually going to land?" Future Sonata replied, "When we are right next to the Control Center, so I can place my boot to Kaos' neck!" EQG Spike was worried, "Did our death really get her this vengeful?" Future EQG Camo spoke, "We've all been wanting to get revenge on Kaos for years. Today's the day that we get it." Glumshanks realized, "But, the only way to get revenge is to..." He soon spoke to EQG Spike, "They want to kill Kaos like he did to you!" EQG Spike was shocked, "Just because Kaos resorted to murdering me and Echo Squadron, doesn't mean they should do the same." Soon they heard Avenger 3 spoke, "We overheard your conversation. Yes, we are going to get our revenge...but we will not kill Kaos." Future Sonata spoke, "I didn't form Avenger Squadron so we can flat-out kill Kaos. It's not our way. Besides, from what I've heard, Kaos is only a pawn of our true enemy, The Darkness." Skylander Spike finally decided to speak, "If we can find a way to have Kaos see that he's being manipulated...he would destroy this station." Future Sonata replied, "Kaos is cocky, overconfident and too full of himself. But he has a sense of not being ordered around. We could talk him down from doing the bidding of The Darkness. If he refuses..." EQG Spike spoke, "I'll beat it out of him." Future EQG Camo replied, "You don't have to do that for us." EQG Spike stated, "But I have to do it. He killed me ten years ago and now we already have the requirements to go back to our time to prevent this. But I want to fight Kaos alongside my counterpart and end this thing." Future Sonata smiled, "You were always the risk-taker." All of a sudden, the radios on all copters soon spoke, "Academy to Avenger Team, Echo Squadron has pulled out of the battlefield." Future Sonata asked, "What was the reason, Buzz?" Buzz replied, "Dark Spyro has made his appearance and kicked it off by shooting down Gold Leader, but he ejected safely. Search and Rescue is underway to recover Astroblast." EQG Spike leaned his head at the moment that Dark Spyro was mentioned. He knew that the Dark EQG followed them to the future, but he's basically Echo Squadron's problem, with Spike being the sixth member of Echo Squadron. He soon heard Buzz asked, "So what's your status?" Future Sonata replied, "We're about to enter a Land Vehicle Zone. All Avenger units are preparing to switch to Land Vehicle Mode." EQG Spike asked, "Land Vehicle Mode?" Mags soon came on the line, "Your copter can switch between Land, Sea and Sky modes. There is a switch on the dashboard that activates the mode changing sequence. Switch it to Land Vehicle Mode." EQG Spike looked at the dashboard as he spotted a switch that was similar to the Flight/Hover switch. But this one is different since it was set to Sky mode. He pulled the switch as it changed to Land mode as he soon felt his flight capabilities going down, he checked his status panel and saw four wheels appear from the underside. He soon felt his copter land onto the Land Vehicle Zone track as the rest of Avenger Squadron followed suit. EQG Spike stated, "Okay Mags, I've switched to Land Mode, we'll be following the track to the Control Center." Mags replied, "Alright, ya'll better get to the Control Center and give that Kaos a good ol' butt whooping." Future Sonata warned, "Watch where you are going, guys. There are turbines that sprout up all over the path. Avoid them at all costs and Spike, you need to be careful as well." EQG Spike replied, "Copy Avenger Leader. I'll watch my surroundings." The now ground side Avenger Squadron and EQG Spike drove down the track of the Land Vehicle Zone of the Sky-Eater as they avoided the turbines that appeared at random and collecting the gearbits that are all around the track. As they reached an opening with two large switches that are supposedly powers the two ramps. All of a sudden, the monitor came on with an image of Kaos of this time period as a pinkish arm appears in dark magic. Glumshanks spoke, "Kaos knows that we are inside the station!" Kaos' voice boomed over the loudspeaker, "Foolish Sky-Losers! You think you could disable my Sky-Eater and get away with it? You saboteurs will soon feel the Wrath of EMPEROR KAOS!" The hand soon clenched into a fist as it attempted to crush Avenger Squadron. It wasn't until EQG Spike saw the dark fist and the two buttons as he got an idea on how to proceed on. He soon contacted Future Sonata and the rest of the squadron, "Guys, try to get the dark fist to smash one of the buttons. That could open one of the doors so we can get through!" Avenger 4 spoke, "I'm going in to have the fist smash one of the buttons." Avenger 4 caught the hand's attention as he moved towards the right button as the fist came down on the button, missing Avenger 4 in the process because the Gyrocar activated its nitro boost, similar to the Hot Streak. The ramp and door opened up and the squadron went through the open door as they made a turn around and jumped a ramp right towards the left door as all seven craft opened fire on the closed door as the missiles blasted a hole big enough for seven hybrid craft to fit through. They soon sped down the track as Avenger 4 spoke in an excited tone, "Now that is what I call an explosive entrance!" Future Sonata chuckled, "I knew you would enjoy that, Spitfire. Nice work!" He chuckled, "I get it from my mom." Glumshanks spoke, "We are not out of the woods yet. Kaos is aware that we are inside the Sky-Eater. Be careful of the defenses around the track, keep on your toes, Avenger Team...and to you as well Spike since I'm onboard your hybrid craft." Future EQG Camo replied, "Thanks for the heads up, Glumshanks." Future Sonata spoke, "You heard the troll, let's be careful." As they traveled down the track, they constantly heard Kaos' whining continuously saying, "You Meddlers will not escape the Wrath of EMPEROR KAOS!!" Future Sonata hacked the loudspeaker and replied with, "You won't have to look far Kaos. We're coming for you and your master." Kaos was confused as he spoke, "I have no master! I am my own master and I do what I want and no one, not even a supposed ghost is going to tell me what to do. The only thing I can do, is to DESTROY YOU!!!" As Avenger Squadron reached an area with three doors and three buttons, Kaos now spoke, "Now behind one of these doors is a way out and behind another is a surprise. But is it a good surprise or a bad surprise?" Glumshanks guessed, "Bad Surprise. It's always a bad surprise." Future EQG Camo spoke, "Heads up, guys! Kaos has sent a couple of tanks to try and slow us down!" EQG Male Spitfire spoke, "I'm on them in a hot streak." He directed his cannon and fired on one of the tanks, destroying it in the process. Future Sonata complimented, "Good shot, Avenger 4." EQG Spike noticed, "We've got air units attempting to strafe us!" Sunblast spoke, "Copy that, I'll focus on the attack fighters." His copter soon went to Sky Mode as he took to the air and pursued the fighters. Avenger 5 spoke, "Watch out, Kaos' fist is still trying to pound us. I'll lure it over to one of the buttons!" Future Sonata replied, "Be careful out there and remember what I've taught you." Avenger 5's craft burrowed into the floor of the arena as the hand followed him until he popped out of the ground near the button as the fist came down...but the craft avoided it in the nick of time. This made Kaos mad, "Stop doing that!" The center door opened as all seven copters drove through and Kaos now tried to intimidate the heroic squadron, "You are wasting your time. There is nothing you could do to stop my awesome and evil reign. Skylands is doomed. DOOMED I TELL YOU!" Future Sonata decided to speak, "How can Skylands be doomed when you now have a broken Sky-Eater to go up against Avenger Squadron?" There was no response as they thought they heard the sound of something dripping on Kaos' end as she finished, "I thought so, Kaos. There is no hiding from us now...and you might want to change your robe after wetting it." Kaos was angry, "I did not wet my robe!! Now will you excuse your Emperor for a moment while he uses the nearest changing room...of DOOM!!" Glumshanks spoke to the Avenger leader, "He did wet himself as always. When something he never expected would happen, he would always do that in shock." Future Sonata stated, "He didn't expect that we would launch a surprise attack on his station to counter him nearly destroying the Core of Light, sabotage the rift weapon and infiltrate his station." As the squadron jumped the ramp, they switched back to Sky Mode as they entered some sort of chamber with a strange liquid. Glumshanks spoke, "This is the Liquification Chamber: The place where the magic in Skylands is consumed by The Darkness. It's what powers the Sky-Eater...and other things." He turned his attention towards the mechanisms, "It would be a matter of time before the Sky-Eater regains is power, but if you switch to Sea Mode, you can disable the mechanisms and weaken Lord Kaos...I mean Kaos, it will also weaken the Sky-Eater's capability to regain power. It would buy us some time to get to the control room." Glumshanks saw an eel-like creature appear, "But, there's also a Hydra Hatchling in there, feeding on the magic. Can't ever have too many of those." Future Sonata spoke, "All right, team! Our target is the Hydra Hatchling feeding on this liquefied magic. But we have to destroy the mechanisms to drain it this magic out so we can lure the hydra. All craft prepare to dive!” All gyrocopters soon switched to Sea-Mode as the engine turbines converted to hydro-turbines as the dive rudders sprouted from the crafts. The gyro-subs soon dove into the liquid as they spotted the first mechanism blocking their path to the hydra. Future Sonata gave EQG Spike a rundown on Sea-Mode, "Quick lesson, Spike. In Sea-Mode, your missiles have been converted into torpedoes for enemy sea vehicles. You can also jump by diving and surfacing immediately. But if you see an enemy on your tail, you can lay mines to catch them in your trap." EQG Spike replied, "Got it." The squadron soon fired their torpedoes at the mechanism as it was destroyed. It soon opened a way into another area of the Sea Vehicle Zone as several enemy patrol boats trying to stop them. They managed to destroy the boats and the second mechanism blocking their way. As soon as they reached the next area of the chamber, Sunblast warned, "My sonar has picked up something. It's got to be the Hydra Hatchling we've been warned about." Future Sonata realized, "All craft, keep your eyes open for that hatchling!" Glumshanks spoke, "If the hydra was to attack, it would attack from below. Watch your sonar carefully and be ready to evade if you spot it beneath you." EQG Spike nodded, "You got that, guys?" All hybrid subs flashed green lights, "All right, let's take this thing down." The battle commenced as the squadron spread out to patrol the area and catch the hydra's attention. Future EQG Camo spoke, "Be patient and watch your sonars." Avenger Squadron moved around in an attempt to lure the beast out until Avenger 4's sonar went off, "Whoa, it's coming up under me! Evading!" At the exact moment as the sub moved out of the way, the purple hydra hatchling burst from the water as it snapped its teeth in an attempt to chomp down on one of the members of Avenger Squadron, but that failed and the hatchling looked confused...leaving it open for an attack as Future's Sonata and EQG Camo fired their torpedoes at the beast. The impact of the torpedoes caused the hydra to dive in shock...but also anger. The attack of the hydra hatchling also attracting the attention of some patrol boats. Future Sonata spoke, "Watch out, I believe we got their attention! And the hydra is now angry at us for disturbing its dinner and attacking it!" Avenger 6 spoke, "Got it, I'm handlin' the PTs! You guys deal with the big fish!" As Avenger 6 went off to deal with the patrol boats, the remaining members of Avenger Squadron and Spike went off around the battlefield looking delicious to attract the hydra hatchling. At an instant as the team moved away, the hatchling popped up trying to snatch one of the subs, but failed and left it open to a torpedo attack by the subs. After realizing that it had been hit again, it dove beneath and ambushed EQG Spike as it tried to get a nibble on the top engine. But EQG Spike dove underneath the snapping jaw and jumped up out of the water and unleashed a torpedo attack on the hydra. Enraged, the hydra dove underneath again as EQG Spike spoke, "That did it, now it's really angry! And it's almost down for the count!" Future EQG Camo spoke, "Got it. Keep it up! Once this hydra is destroyed we could be able to weaken this station's ability and get to Kaos." All of a sudden, EQG Spike's sonar starts pinging as he saw the position of the hydra and where it was going." Realizing this, he contacted Avenger 6, "6, watch yourself, the hydra is heading straight towards you!" Avenger 6 spoke, "I got the fish on my sonar!" Avenger 6 narrowly avoided the hydra as it popped out of the water and tried to snap at the sub. After avoiding it, Avenger 6 turned his sub around and said, "Fish fried tonight!" His torpedoes fired as they struck the hydra straight in the head. The hydra screeched one final time before going limp beneath the water as the substance itself drained out. Soon enough, Glumshanks spoke in relief, "That was close, who knows what that hydra would've done if it were fully grown?" Skylander Spike replied, "That wouldn't paint a pretty picture on the alternative." Glumshanks pointed, "The path to the Control Room is up ahead. But we'll have to land at the entrance to the control room and then confront Kaos." EQG Spike nodded, "Thanks. Let's go Avenger Squadron!" The subs switched back to Sky-Mode as the continued on. Meanwhile, North-Northeast of the Sky-Eater, in a stormy area of Skylands, there was a squadron of pirate fighters being led by skeletal aircraft with amps on it. The flight leader also had a refueling hose attached to a certain black gyrocopter as it was refueling. Once the refueling process was complete, the copter disconnected from the skeletal craft as the refueling pod jettisoned. The copter soon got in the center position with the pirate fighters escorting both copter and skeletal craft. What the squadron already knew is that Echo Squadron is already closing on their tail. As EQG Legendary Spyro spotted the black copter, he spoke, "That's definitely Dark Spyro!" The pirate fighters broke off to engage the offending squadron, EQG Terrafin realized, "Those fighters are probably trying to buy enough time for Dark Spyro to get away!" EQG Drobot spoke, "I handle the fighters while you guys concentrate on Dark Spyro!" He noticed that the skeletal fighter was staying by the black copter's side, so he ran a scan on the craft and the results were as he informed the others, "Guys, the aircraft that's not turning towards us is Wolfgang! His aircraft is the Sub-Woofer, a skeletal fighter that reminds him of being an undead werewolf; it has amps on it to also reminds him of his rock and roll arts." EQG Camo realized, "It looks like Wolfgang is riding shotgun!" EQG Legendary Spyro nodded, "Okay, we need to maintain pursuit of Dark Spyro. Don't get tangled up in those fighters!" All of a sudden, a Mabu voice spoke, "Echo 1, this is Whiplash 1, we're closing in on the two targets head on."EQG Legendary Spyro replied, "Got it, Whiplash 1!" While Echo Squadron was pursuing the Sub-Woofer and the black copter, Whiplash Squadron was flying straight towards the fleeing fighters. But the Mabu fighters were surprised when both aircraft opened fire and downed a few Mabu fighters as Whiplash 1 spoke, "Whiplash 2 and 3 are hit and going down!" Whiplash 4 spoke, "I see a couple of chutes!" EQG Legendary Squadron spoke, "Whiplash Squadron, Fall Back! You won't survive out there against those two!" All of a sudden, another voice spoke, "Don't worry, Spy. I've got your back." A conventional Mabu fighter swerved by Spy's side as the pilot waved as Spy realized, "Snap Shot, you crazy Trap Master! I thought you were back at the academy?" Snap Shot replied, "I found a vacant fighter and took off with Whiplash Squadron when I heard that you were pursuing Dark Spyro. Besides, his escort is turning to engage us because of my appearance." The Trap Master wasn't lying since they spotted the Sub-Woofer changing course and heading straight for them. As the Sub-Woofer started to attack them, Dark Spyro's copter was accelerating away from the battle. Snap Shot spoke, "I'll draw him off, you guys go after Dark Spyro! But Camo, you're with me on this one." EQG Camo knew what he meant because of Wolfgang dismissing him as a major threat back at the Wilikin factory. EQG Camo's gyrocopter soon maneuvered towards Snap Shot's aircraft as the rest of the squadron accelerated after the black gyrocopter. As the two craft got a visual on the Sub-Woofer, a voice spoke, "So it's come to this, Snappy? An Air Duel between the two of us and with a member of Echo Squadron at your side." Snap Shot spoke, "You were always overconfident and quick to judge your opponents before you fully understand them." Wolfgang replied, "Even if you do shoot me down, it won't be enough. But we don't really have to fight, Snap Shot. We can join forces and rule this time period." He continued, "I mean think about it, Kaos would be dealt with, there's no Doom Raiders and I spotted a pizza parlor that delivers in 30 seconds or less." Snap Shot asked, "You think I'm an idiot, Wolfgang? I don't abandon my friends for personal glory. I help them for the good of all Skylands." Wolfgang chuckled, "And I didn't want to rule this time period with you as well." His weapons powered up, "Let's just fight instead!" Snap Shot's aircraft soon evaded the deadly music notes that the Sub-Woofer fired. The Sub-Woofer soon got behind Snap Shot's aircraft as it started to open fire on the Trap Master. Unfortunately, the Sub-Woofer was soon hit by the number 4 of Echo Squadron, who stayed behind to help Snap Shot. This attack caused Wolfgang to pull away from Snap Shot's craft as EQG Camo soon pursued him. He decided to contact the werewolf, "Hey Wolfgang, remember me?" Wolfgang taunted, "Well, the one that Dr. Krankcase seems to fear. I don't know why he fears you when you are not worth pulling a trigger on." EQG Camo smirked, "There is a perfect reason why Krankcase fears me." Wolfgang was confused until he was ambushed by Snap Shot as the Trap Master's craft strafed the Sub-Woofer in the engines. Wolfgang was soon losing altitude as his craft was trailing smoke. Wolfgang tried to regain control of his craft when he heard a ferocious howl approaching him. This howl was more ferocious than his own as he looked to where it originated and spotted EQG Camo drop from the gyro-copter and took on his Werewolf form. Wolfgang was surprised by this as the beast used a vine whip to on the Sub-Woofer as it climbed the vine and up to Wolfgang. The large werewolf asked, "Surprise Wolfgang!" The smaller shocked werewolf didn't answer until he was lifted from his seat by Werewolf Camo, he stuttered, "Wait, why don't we...you know call it a draw?" He chuckled as Werewolf Camo smirked as he brought a fist up and pummeled Wolfgang until the Sub-Woofer crashed. But luckily, both Werewolves jumped off before it hit the ground. Snap Shot landed as Wolfgang was seal in a dome of energy. As the holograms of the Princesses of this timeline appeared, Snap Shot spoke, "Use an Undead Trap on Wolfgang!" Wolfgang was dazed on this turn of events as he spoke, "Oh come on, I didn't know that he was a werewolf! I thought he was just some weakling that Dr. Krankcase got scared of." All of a sudden, a thump of magic occurred as Wolfgang saw a vortex open up. He noticed his bone harp being pulled into the vortex as he jumped after it. He now knew that he couldn't get away from the vortex as he said, "Stick around for the ENCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" Princess Celestia held up the Undead Trap containing Wolfgang as he spoke from the crystal, "What? What happened? Oh well, the show must go on." He soon played a guitar solo briefly as Celestia spoke, "Your power cords of pain was no match for the side of good." Luna soon spoke, "We're sending you back to your time period and when you see us again ten years ago, you will fight with us." Wolfgang for the first time frighteningly said, "W...well, if that monster doesn't beat me up again, I better change my tune then." After that, the holograms vanished as Snap Shot and EQG Camo nodded after he went back to normal. The Trap Master spoke, "Let's go after the rest of the Squadron." EQG Camo spoke, "I can use my copter to lock on to their beacon. It's used for emergency purposes like getting lost." After that, they got aboard their aircraft and flew off after Echo Squadron. Back in the Sky-Eater, EQG Spike, his dragon counterpart, Glumshanks and Avenger Squadron landed near the entrance to the control center and unloaded the Dark Rift Engine as they pushed it into the Control Room. As the group entered, EQG Spike took a look around and noticed the amount of dark magic swirling in the center of the room. He asked, "Glumshanks, is that?" Glumshanks nodded, "Yep, that's The Darkness." Dragon Spike looked at it, "This is the thing that we've been fighting this whole time?" Sunblast spoke, "And now we are here to send it back to where it came from." Future Sonata spoke, "Be careful, I don't like this one bit." Avenger 6 had his magic and air powers ready, he spoke, "Kaos is probably baiting us somehow." Avenger 5 spoke, "I know that feeling, Magic Dasher. After what that shorty did to both our dads, I want a little bit of payback." Avenger 5 had his own punching gauntlets as Future EQG Camo looked around, "No sign of him yet." Glumshanks pushed the Dark Rift Engine close to The Darkness as Future Sonata spoke, "Let's fire up the Rift Engine and send The Darkness back to Convexity." She pulled a switch which caused the engine to power up. She stated, "It will be a while until the engine is fully charged. Kaos won't make this easy on us." All of a sudden, a floating throne appeared as a familiar laugh was heard as the chair turned around revealing Kaos in his emperor robe, "You foolish Sky-Fools have bothered me long enough, but I have an ace up my sleeve. The Cataclysmic Mega Rift is almost fully operational, the only weapon that survived that little shockwave which broke my beloved station." He noticed Avenger Squadron, "And look at you, the well-known Avenger Squadron of Skylands, come to face me to 'avenge' Echo Squadron. Have you've known better, you would've stayed away from the Sky-Eater. But now you are here to finally meet your doom." EQG Spike stepped forward, "They won't be facing you, Kaos. I will fight you for the fate of Skylands!" Kaos was laughing, "A mere time-traveling Skylander who's fate was sealed ten years ago? I will enjoy killing you again!" Dragon Spike also stepped forward, "If he's going to fight you, then I will too." Glumshanks spoke, "Lord Kaos, you don't have to do this! Stop this before it gets out of hand!" The symbol on Kaos' forehead flashed as the Dark Portal Master looked in confusion and soon decided, "Save your breath, Glumshanks! I've made up my mind and you've made up your mind when you joined their side!" He now stated, "Now, prepare, all of you to meet your most ULTIMATE of ULTIMATE DOOMS! At the hands of Supreme Emperor KAOS! Dark Overlord of the UNIVERSE!" Soon both Spikes were on a dispersible platform as a voice spoke to Kaos, "Now Kaos, show these fools the true power of The Darkness." Kaos spoke, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it, I got it." Kaos soon expanded from his normal size to a large size as he floated over the duo. Dragon Spike transferred some of his powers over to his human counterpart as Kaos started throwing spiked balls from the pieces of the platform at the duo. Dragon Spike used his traditional Fire Breath on Kaos as the Portal Master thrashed around trying to shake it off (no pun intended) but EQG Spike had his elemental swords charging with Electricity as he clashed them together and shot them at Kaos. Kaos soon jittered in agony as he was being electrocuted. He shook off the electricity as he warped around the platform trying to ambush them. But the Dragon and human Spike were always one step ahead of him to the Portal Master's surprise he called, "Glumshanks, come here and protect me at once!" He soon realized, "Oh wait...forgot!" He laughed at his own joke. As Kaos warped, the duo stood back-to-back waiting for Kaos to appear again. But when he did, he made three more copies of himself as they surrounded them. They soon realized the difference between the copies and the real Kaos. The copies were not wearing that crown while to real Kaos wore the crown. But the copies will still attack them, so they dealt with the copies before going after the real Kaos. The copies were easily disposed of as the real Kaos warped back to his throne as he spoke, "Fear me and my awesomeness!" He generated a shadow hand, "Now made even more awesome by The Darkness!" The hand pulled out a sword as EQG Spike saw the vision of himself getting impaled through the chest by Kaos, ten years ago. But he pushed that aside as he dodged the shockwaves that the sword sent out when it slams down on the arena. Kaos did this several times until he warped back to the platform creating five more copies of himself and surrounding the duo. He spoke, "Why don't you just surrender already!? You know that you can't win this!" All of a sudden, a voice spoke, "That's where you're wrong, Kaos!" A fireball slammed into the real Kaos as he thrashed about until he put it our. But that was not it, it was followed by a blast of crystal power and magic power as Spyro appeared along with three cloaked and hooded creatures as Kaos recognized, "You from the past?! How dare you interrupt my glorious victory!" The center hood spoke, "Glorious for you, Kaos. But disastrous for us, my father didn't stop fighting until he knew that Skylands was free. And now I'm here to see that it's done along with my sisters!" At that instant, a white claw gripped the hood and cloak and in a slight tug, the cloak came off revealing a unicorn/dragon hybrid similar to Whirlwind, but this one was a male and had a white body with green spines, underbelly and tail. He also possessed feathery wings as they flared like they are ready for battle. The two others to his side removed their cloaks as two unicorn/dragon hybrids emerged. They were more equestrian as they had hooves instead of claws. They both had dragon-like wings unlike the male. Both had the colors of purple and green in their manes and tails as their wings flared for battle. The only major differences with these two were the colors of their coat and their eyes. The one on the left had a purple coat with emerald green eyes while the one on the right had a snow white coat and blue eyes. Their Cutie Marks were in the shape of a special diamond, the purple one had an Emerald Cutie Mark while the white one had a Jade Cutie Mark. The male hybrid spoke, "We are the children of Equestria's Purple Dragon and we are here to see that you know the error of your ways!" Kaos sarcastically said, "Oh, I'm shaking in my robe! HA!! Even if you are the children of the second thorn in my backside, you will never stand a chance against me!" The male hybrid smiled, "Dad always said that you were cocky." He looked towards his sisters, "Emerald, Jade, you girls ready to give him a taste of what we believe in?" The hybrids smiled as the purple one spoke, "Always with you, little brother." The white one replied, "Until the very end." Kaos tried to use his sword to send out the shockwaves again, but the trio actually shot the sword out of Kaos' phantom hand. Kaos looked in shock at this as the hybrids teleported next to Dragon Spike as the trio smiled at the dragon. Skylander Spike smiled as well as he jumped up towards Kaos and unleashed a flurry of melee attacks like the claw strike and tail swipe. Kaos decided to teleport and use his clones to try and destroy the 'miserable Sky-losers' if it were so easy. He even said, "Hold still, so I can destroy you already!" But Kaos was struck by an Electrical Charge attack by EQG Spike and Spyro as EQG Spike asked, "What is that you're doing, Kaos?" Kaos was frustrated, "What does it look like I'm doing? Victory, Victory for ME!!!" He teleported back to his throne as he prepared his sword and said, "Prepare for your inevitable defeat!!" Spyro saw the sword and yelled, "Not this time! All powers merge for a mega strike!" All members of the team formed up as all of their powers merged to one as they fired a fury of multiple powers at Kaos' sword and destroyed it before it could strike. This shocked the Dark Portal Master as he yelled, "NO! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" Suddenly, that eerie voice spoke, "Oh Kaos, you are disappointing me." Soon two phantom hands appeared as the voice ordered, "Now Kaos, go forth with the full might and power of The Darkness!" Kaos said in joy, "Yeah, that's what I'm talking about!" The hands soon started to flip the platform pieces in its shockwaves as the team evaded. Spyro decided to look for a way to strike at Kaos until he had an idea. He looked at the team and said, "Guys, I have an idea, but the human Spike will have to undergo this plan." EQG Spike asked, "What do you mean?" Spyro replied, "We are going to merge our powers with yours. It will give you an edge against Kaos." EQG Spike asked, "But what if..." Dragon Spike replied, "Think about it, all of us has the blood of the Purple Dragon, even the hybrids may look different..." The male hybrid finished, "But our blood is Purple Dragon blood." EQG Spike thought about this until he dodged another attack from Kaos' dark hands as he yelled, "DO IT!!" Soon enough, the elements of Fire, Electricity, Ice, Earth, Magic, Crystal, Laser and Flight surged through EQG Spike's body as a sudden flash occurred which actually caught Kaos' attention as he stopped attacking. He yelled, "WHAT IS THIS!" As the flash faded, EQG Spike hovered over the platform, swords equipped with spiky hair, jacket and pants changed to yellow. He also had yellow and white dragon wings until he opened his eyes to reveal his new red eyes as Kaos yelled in shock, "IT CAN'T BE!!" Super EQG Spike twirled his swords, "But it is, when the powers of the Purple Dragon is united with a human with the blood of a Purple Dragon, he becomes unstoppable!" Kaos angrily stated, "Even with your mystical Purple Dragon malarkey, It will be no match for the awesome power of The Darkness!" Super EQG Spike smiled as his swords powered up, "I was hoping you would say that." As Kaos lashed his dark hands at Super EQG Spike, the hands moved right through him as they exploded, leaving both team and Kaos in shock. Emerald spoke, "He took them down without even moving!" The male hybrid corrected, "He did move...we just didn't see it to the naked eye." Jade nodded, "You're right, brother. He moved really fast." Kaos was shocked, "NO! MY BEAUTIFUL HANDS!" He glared at the EQG, "So that's how you wanna play, do you?" He charged up a magic attack, "Well, take this!" He flung a magical orb at Super EQG Spike as he caught the orb and flung it back at Kaos as it impacted the Portal Master as he was shaking in desperation, "THAT'S IT!" He charged at Super EQG Spike as the EQG's eyes started to glow as Fire, Electric, Earth, Ice, Crystal, and Laser rings formed around him as Kaos impacted Spike. The Elemental Rings soon formed around the midget as he struggled. Kaos asked, "What are you doing! My power is supposed to surpass you! Why can't I defeat you!?" Super EQG Spike replied, "Because, a Dark Portal Master's power can never surpass that power of a Purple Dragon which is in my blood! And why can't you defeat me? The answer is, because I'm aware of what you did to me ten years ago!" Super EQG Spike's swords formed into twin dragons which launched at Kaos as they began to bite what's left of his power as the portal master was reverted back to normal. He soon fell through the platform as Spyro and the hybrids disappeared. As EQG Spike and Skylander Spike touched the floor of the control room, EQG Spike wasn't super anymore as Avenger Squadron looked at the downed Kaos. Magic Dasher spoke, "For all of his talks of him being a superior overlord, he does get dethroned pretty easily." Avenger 5 nodded, "At least, he's defeated and not dead." Soon enough, there was a ding from the Dark Rift Engine as Future Sonata spoke, "That fight bought us enough time for the Rift Engine to charge up." Future EQG Camo spoke to Avenger 5, "Rumble Jack, would you like to do the honors?" Rumble Jack spoke as his right punching gauntlet vanished, "For the ones we love." He reached for the lever on the Rift Engine when suddenly, he froze as an ominous purple magic covered them in complete stasis, "Why...can't I move?" The rest of the team felt it as they were frozen in place as they saw the face of The Darkness appearing over them as it commended, "I am impressed, Skylanders. Sabotaging the Sky-eater and activating the Dark Rift Engine was pretty strategic...and yet I am on the verge of total victory and you're still fighting. Unfortunately for you, it all ends now." The team noticed Kaos getting up as the little guy stood by its side as Glumshanks spoke, "Lord Kaos, please don't do this!" The Darkness spoke, "Foolish troll, he answers to me now. Isn't that right, Kaos?"Kaos was about to speak, but stopped as The Darkness stated, "You see, Glumshanks? That's how you handle your minions. Now Kaos, destroy the Rift Engine and crush their hopes once and for all!" Kaos soon stood at the Rift Engine as he prepared his spell until he heard a voice in his head saying, "Kaos, don't do this?" Kaos mentally spoke, "But...I must, destroying the Dark Rift Engine will further my chances of ruling the Universe!" The voice stated, "You're not doing this for yourself. You're doing this to satisfy The Darkness!" Kaos mentally stuttered, "But...but it can't?" The voice spoke as Kaos saw the glowing green eyes from the many stasis victims, "The Darkness is controlling you through the emblem on your head. It seeks out followers to manipulate and further its plan." Kaos spoke mentally, "I've been had! And I know just what to do. I thank you for telling me the truth about the snitch that used me, Human Spike." Just as Kaos' spell was at its peak, he stopped and pushed the lever forward on the Dark Rift Engine, activating it. This shocked The Darkness as Avenger Squadron was freed, "Kaos, what have you done!?" Kaos stated as he threw down his crown, "No one tells Kaos what to do except Kaos. And that's me and I'm him and CONVEXITY AWAITS YOU!!" As a portal to Convexity opened up, Future Sonata was shaking off being frozen until she noticed, "I don't believe it, Kaos...saved us." Future EQG Camo replied, "Kaos found out that he was a pawn for The Darkness and did what he had to do." Soon enough, there was a few explosions going off as Avenger Squadron decided that now was the time to get out of the Sky-Eater. They all went back to the copters, followed by Kaos and Glumshanks, who was happy to have his master again. But as they left, The Darkness was struggling not to go into the portal as it stated, "I won't go back, the universe is mine! You'll pay for this, Kaos! No one betrays The Darkness! KAOS!" As the squadron made their escape, the Sky-Eater exploded as cheering went on from the Skylander Academy. EQG Spike looked at the explosion and said, "That is what I would call a boom!" His new passenger, Kaos decided, "I've wanted to ask on how you spoke with me through my head?" EQG Spike smiled, "I gained a few new powers after going super. Some of these new abilities are quite bizarre to learn." Kaos now asked, "But can you ever forgive me for killing you ten years ago and that's a first that I've asked for forgiveness." EQG Spike nodded, "I forgive you." Future Sonata spoke, "Academy, this is Avenger Leader, Sky-Eater has been destroyed." Buzz spoke, "Mags and I saw the station go down. All units, it's the end of the war!" There were cheers of Mabu and Skylanders saying, 'They finally did it!' 'Avenger Team did it!' 'They took that eater out!' That noise of cheering would probably be a time for celebration. But it was too good to be true since the portal of Convexity was not closing and keeping the portal open, using the parts of the Sky-Eater as a body was The Darkness. It peaked out of the portal and spoke, "You didn't really think this was over, did you? You can't defeat me, fools! Skylands will be doomed and the Universe is mine. All shall fear and obey me! I AM THE DARKNESS!!" Avenger Squadron soon heard a voice in their heads, the voice of the Princesses, "The Darkness is trying to escape from Convexity. You cannot allow it to cause havoc on the universe!" spoke Celestia. Luna stated, "Everything we all fought for prepared us all for this battle. The malevolent reign of The Darkness ends here and now!" Master Eon's voice soon spoke to them, "And now would be the time to unleash our secret weapon. Avenger Squadron and Echo 6, go to the Core of Light!" Soon enough, all Gyrocopters went to the machine as it linked with the copters. It generated its power and was lifted off of its base. The machine separated as the copters began to merge with pieces of the Core of Light and transform. The seven Gyrocopters began to take the shape of large robotic arms and legs along with a robot head with the Core of Light serving as the torso covered in Arkeyan armor. The robot had large jet boosters on its back and feet, a cannon on the left arm and a missile launcher on the right arm. The robot face had a molded faceplate with a battle helmet with horns similar to Eon's helmet. The robot's chest had all ten elements of Skylands as well as the insignia of Equestria. Inside the robot, all members of Avenger Squadron as well as their passengers were sitting together as Future Sonata spoke, "Avenger Omega, Ready for Battle!" Future EQG Camo spoke, "This will be awesome." Sunblast yelled, "Look out, Darkness!" Male Spitfire spoke, "Because we are now coming for you!" Magic Dasher stated, "And this time..." Rumble Jack spoke, "By the end of this day..." EQG Spike finished, "One shall stand one shall fall." The Darkness saw Avenger Omega stop in front of him as he asked “Why throw away your lives so recklessly?" Avenger Omega spoke in EQG Spike's voice, "That's a question you should ask yourself, Darkness!" The Darkness yelled, "NO! I'LL CRUSH YOU ALL WITH MY BARE HANDS!" The Darkness struck as he pulled Avenger Omega into Convexity.
