//------------------------------// // Supercharged Future Part 3 // Story: Skylanders X MLP // by Skylander545 //------------------------------// The two combatants struggled until Avenger Omega kicked away from The Darkness as Avenger Squadron moved the robot away from their foe as it taunted, "Come foolish Avenger Omega, come and face the All-Powerful Darkness!" Its goggle-like visor came down as a ring appeared. The male Spitfire spoke, "Guys, I see a Rift Surge Ring! If we go through several of those rings, Avenger Omega can launch a massive offensive on The Darkness!" Future Sonata spoke, "Thanks for the heads-up. Powering up Jet-Boosters!" The boosters of the robot fired up as Avenger Omega sped after The Darkness. Future EQG Camo spoke, "Spike, you've got the cannon for the robot. I've got the missile launcher while Rumble Jack handles the melee combat system." EQG Spike nodded as Magic Dasher spoke, "I'm on the elemental attacks." EQG Spike yelled, "Let's Go!" The Darkness sent out several dark fences to block the robot's way as Sunblast used the sun ball function to Avenger Omega as the robot fired at the dark fences. Future Sonata piloted the giant robot through a rift surge ring as the robot charged up to 50 percent. After dodging or destroying dark fences, they went through another surge ring as it charged the robot to 80 percent. The Male Spitfire spoke, "Almost there, just one more surge ring left!" The squadron acknowledged this as they approached one more surge ring as the robot's power reached its peak. The male Spitfire announced, "That's it! Avenger Omega! Supercharge Attack!" With a slight jolt, the giant robot charged at full speed towards The Darkness as its robotic fist slammed into its face, leaving The Darkness dazed as his visor goes up. The Male Spitfire ordered, "Rough him up, Rumble!" Rumble Jack used Avenger Omega's punching ability to give The Darkness a little beat down as the dark creature came back to his senses as he angrily stated, "You won't get away with this! I Am The Darkness!" The Darkness soon teleported away from them as he said, "You can't evade me forever!" Future Sonata spoke through the robot, "Oh really, from our point of view, you're the one who's trying to evade us. You claim to be powerful when in fact you are running away from those who are more powerful than you!” The Darkness grew agitated, ”Silence, Underling! You have no say for my powers!” Future Sonata stated, “I do have a say in it because I’m still a Siren.” The Darkness retaliated, “Siren or not, my power is beyond what magic you’ve consumed!” Future Sonata remembered the story, “Then how come you always run when there’s danger?” The Darkness was agitated more, “Silence, Foolish Siren! I command you!” Future EQG Camo joined in, “You ran when the Skylanders lured you to the Core of Light, you are already running away from us when we revealed Avenger Omega! You’re not the all-powerful Darkness, You’re a Coward!” The Darkness was furious, “You fools won’t be laughing at me when I turn your robot into scrap metal along with the Core of Light!” EQG Spike joined in, “Bring it!” The whole argument between Avenger Squadron and The Darkness was actually a diversion to have the male Spitfire pilot Avenger Omega through the surge rings as he turned over piloting controls back to Future Sonata as he said, “Avenger Omega Supercharged!” EQG Spike yelled as he worked the cannon controls, “Cannon Buster Attack!” Future EQG Camo spoke, “Missile Barrage!” The arms of Avenger Omega pointed forward as the cannon arm fired a massive laser while the launcher arm fired a barrage of missiles which impacted The Darkness as he grunted in pain. Avenger Omega followed up as the cannon arm turned back into a robotic fist as it clobbered The Darkness square in its face. The Darkness clenched his face in pain as he turned really agitated at the battle robot and spoke, “YOU WILL TREMBLE BEFORE MY TERRIBLE MIGHT, I PROMISE YOU!” Soon enough, The Darkness transported both him and Avenger Omega to a much more open area. He looked at the robot and said to its occupants, ”You’ve made a grave mistake challenging me where I am Most Powerful! Behold!” The Darkness summoned several of his shadow guardians to attack Avenger Omega, Future EQG Camo locked on to the shadow guardians as Future Sonata deployed a shield to protect the robot from attacks. Future EQG Camo yelled, “Fox 2!” The missiles fired as they destroyed the fighters as The Darkness gloated, “The Universe will be mine! You can’t stop The Darkness!” There were more shadow guardians trying to damage the robot’s shield, but EQG Spike used the robot’s cannon arm and shot more of those fighters down. The Darkness soon projected his emblem as he said, “All shall fear and obey The Darkness!” The emblem acted as a spotter for the dark being to attack. So Avenger Omega stayed out of its light as the robot charged towards The Darkness as he spoke in shock as the torso of the robot started to glow, “No…NO!” Magic Dasher yelled, “Core of Light Ability on! Eternal Air Source! THUNDER PUNCH!” The Thunder Punch caused the robot’s arms to turn into thunderbolts as a shocking punch to the face was delivered to The Darkness. The attack left their opponent dazed as several dark crystals were being thrown at the robot as the defensive shield was being hit. Future Sonata spoke, “Shields are down at about 80%” Future EQG Camo spoke, “Thanks for the tip, Sonata. I’ll reboot the shield, but we also need to make sure that The Darkness is weak enough to use the Core of Light.” They soon progressed on and destroyed anything that stood in their way. The battle robot used the functions to fight off the fighters and obstacles that block its way until The Darkness appeared as he said, “The Darkness has finally come for you, Skylanders!” The Male Spitfire said, “We’ll see about that!” He activated another ability of Avenger Omega, “Core of Light Ability on! Eternal Fire Source! FIRE SWORD!” Avenger Omega’s right arm soon shifted into a flaming sword as the robot charged as The Darkness was shocked, “NO…NNOO!!!” The fire sword attack dazed The Darkness as the robot continued on. The robot worked its marvels on the enemy fighters as well as the crystals that were trying to block their way. Soon enough The Darkness tried again for a third time as he spoke, ”This will be the Final Battle, Skylanders!” Future Sonata smiled, “And that it is…” She activated Avenger Omega’s next ability, “Core of Light Ability on! Eternal Light Source! SUN CROSSBOW!!” The right arm of the robot shifted into a crossbow that was glowing with the power of the Light Element as a bolt of Light was automatically loaded into the crossbow as it fired at the shocked Darkness, “NNNOOOOOO!!!!” The bolt struck The Darkness as he was dazed again as Avenger Omega reached a rift tunnel that leads back to Skylands. Once again, the robot had to go through several Rift Surge Rings in order to power itself up while evading the obstacles sent by The Darkness. The Darkness taunted the same thing about Avenger Omega not evading him forever. But they weren’t evading him, they were actually beating him. It wasn’t until they reached the last Surge Ring as Rumble Jack announced, “Avenger Omega, Supercharged! Core of Light Ability on! Eternal Earth Source! Legacy Power on! EARTH LASSO!” The robot soon held a lasso made entirely of earth as Avenger Omega lassoed The Darkness and pulled the dark entity towards the robot while delivering an elbow to the face of evil. The Darkness tried to retaliate until Sunblast spoke, “Legacy Power on! STAMPEDE!!” Soon enough a stampede of summoned animals ranging from rabbits to raging bulls as they charged at the surprised Darkness as they did more damage to the entity before fading away. The Darkness now grew more desperate, “You fools should know better than to mess with The Darkness!” EQG Spike asked, “We should know better? Maybe you should know better than to mess with us!” The Darkness bellowed, “Silence fool! You cannot hope to stand against my might!” EQG Spike replied, “We’ll see about that!” The robot continued the same routine which is go through the rings and dodge the obstacles sent out by The Darkness. But still, there was one thing that separated the heroes from The Darkness…It was hope and determination for peace for all living creatures of the universe. They fight for justice while The Darkness only wants domination. It was a clear description of the team when they performed another Cannon Buster/Missile Barrage attack on The Darkness as the entity yelled, “Don’t you know when to quit!?” He soon summoned his emblem to spot and strike at Avenger Omega. But our heroes were able to evade the emblem and get away from it when it spots them. They still had to charge up the robot’s power for another attack on The Darkness as they traveled through the Surge Rings several times as they performed a Legacy Attack which involved three explosive gears launching from Avenger Omega’s left hand and impacting on The Darkness as he asked in shock, “How are you doing this? I am All-Powerful!” Future EQG Camo replied, “We are Skylanders and that’s the reason why we are beating you!” Future Sonata spoke, “Now it’s time that we destroy you for good!” Rumble Jack shouted, “Let’s do this!” Sunblast stated, “For our family!” Magic Dasher yelled, “For our Friends!” Male Spitfire yelled, “FOR SKYLANDS!” He turned to EQG Spike, “Use the Core of Light!” EQG Spike nodded as he activated the Core of Light’s true purpose, “Core of Light on! Eye of the Ancients Activated! CORE CANNON BUSTER!!” Avenger Omega’s left arm turned to its arm cannon mode as it pointed towards The Darkness as he yelled, “I will not die! My Destiny cannot DIE!!!” EQG Spike Yelled, “FIRE!!” The Cannon unleashed a green beam similar to the effects that the Eye of the Ancients gives off as it impacted The Darkness as he yelled, “NNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!” The team saw The Darkness explode as they flew back to Skylands emerging victorious from Convexity. At the Academy, Mags and Buzz were looking at the portal hoping for a sign of the team returning. Soon enough, the massive robot emerged from the portal as several fighter pilots were cheering over the comm. Buzz smiled, “Boomsticks! They did it!” Mags was cheering as the fighters formed around Avenger Omega as it began to transform back into six gyrocopters while the Core of Light returned to its original position at the Academy. Mags stopped cheering and saw a bright light in the distance, “Check it out, Buzz. The sun’s comin’ up.” The old veteran knew what she meant, “Even after the Darkest nights, morning always comes after.” Soon enough, the male hybrid flashed in as he spoke, “And for those we lost, they gave their lives to end this war. Living this day to the fullest is the highest tribute that we can offer to their memory.” Soon enough, the copters landed as Avenger Squadron disembarked from their copters while Kaos himself ordered Glumshanks to bring his luggage because they are moving into Skylander Academy as the new Ultimate Evil Consultant of Ultimate Evil. Everyone agreed that the little guy could use a job at the Academy. As for Skylander Spike, he asked the hybrid, “Who are you really?” The hybrid shrugged, “What can I say…I’m just ‘Lucky’ that I got that name, Dad.” All of a sudden, EQG Spike started up his fully refueled gyrocopter as he said, “Come on, we need to go after Echo Squadron.” Dragon Spike realized what this meant as the hybrid spoke, “Don’t worry, we’ll meet each other soon in time.” Spike nodded and jumped into the copter along with Spyro and EQG Spike as they took off North-Northeast, locking on to Echo Squadron’s beacon. But as the sixth member of Echo Squadron soared off into the distance, Future Sonata approached the Male Spitfire, who was receiving a pat on the back from Flynn and said, “Spitfire, I have something that belongs to you.” He was curious and asked, “What is it?” Future Sonata held up an amulet that was in the shape of the Tech Symbol, but also merged with the Fire Symbol. It was something that was worn around the neck as it was given to him…he clicked open the amulet and saw a picture of his parents while his mother who had the same name as him was pregnant, “This was my father’s amulet…the amulet you told me about.” Future Sonata nodded, “Your father gave me the amulet in his dying moments when we were both shot down. Somehow I survived…but he didn’t. I also made a promise to take care of you guys...” Male Spitfire nodded as his grey gloves gripped the amulet, “And you kept that promise.” But they knew for certain that if Echo Squadron can change the past, things would change. Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, Echo Squadron pursued Dark Spyro’s copter all the way to his destination, it was a Pirate Train that was moving in mid-air and was guarded by Pirate Fighters. The fighters spotted the black copter and his pursuers as they began attacking the pursuers. This caught EQG Drobot’s attention, “Legend, we got several fighters coming in!” EQG Legendary Spyro realized, “It’s a Trap!” The sky-pirate fighters started to open fire on Echo Squadron as the team moved out of the way. Sonata spoke, “There’s too many of them attacking us!” EQG Terrafin spoke as he waved off the fighters, “We’re outnumbered by these fighters!” EQG Legendary Spyro looked at the sky-train and spotted EQG Dark Spyro sitting idle on the caboose of the train before going inside and a few minutes later, his copter launched to join the fight. Echo Squadron was outnumbered by this hornet’s nest of pirate fighters, but EQG Legendary Spyro shook off his shock and said, “Guys, go after the fighters, I’ll go after Dark Spyro!” EQG Drobot replied, “All right, usually attacking the Flight Leader would attract the attention of the fighters. We’ll keep the enemy fighters off of you.” EQG Terrafin warned, “Be careful, Spy. Remember Gadfly Glades, he would intend to use us to weaken you!” EQG Legendary Spyro replied, “I’m well aware of that.” Sonata spoke, “You can count on us to keep the fighters off of you.” Legend now ordered, “Echoes 2, 3 and 5, go after the fighters! I’ll handle Dark Spyro!” The squadron broke formation to go after the fighters as Legend spotted his rival’s copter. He soon got a transmission from the black copter, “There you are, Legend. I had a feeling that you would hurt yourself before the final act.” Legend spoke, “I’m coming for you, Dark.” EQG Dark Spyro replied, “We’ll see about that! You’re about to know how outmatched you really are!” Legend smiled, “We’ll see about that!” The copters soon dueled as the black copter got behind EQG Legendary Spyro as his rival opened fire on him. But Legend performed a counter-maneuver by switching to hover-mode and back so Dark’s copter can be in front of him. He opened up with his cannon as the cannon fire hit the black copter as Dark performed a Cobra Maneuver which soon had his rival behind him once again. Legend’s threat warning alarm went off as it indicated that Dark Spyro has fired a missile. But he pushed a button to release a chaff of flares to disorient the missile as it passed by him and slammed into the pirate train. He soon barrel-rolled over the black copter as he fired a missile and impacted the black copter which had his rival trail smoke. It was then he realized that EQG Dark Spyro’s copter was still damaged from their brief fight over the Academy. He chased Dark Spyro’s copter through the pirate fleet as several explosions went off due to the intense air duel. Dark Spyro soon used another Cobra maneuver to get behind EQG Legendary Spyro as he said, “Your skills are no match for mine!” As his rival opened fire, EQG Legendary Spyro’s vision slowed down as an image of how to perform a certain maneuver appeared as he shifted his craft upwards, killed the engines as his opponent passed him. He reignited the engines and shifted his craft forwards as his vision returned to normal. He soon spoke, “You’re good, but I’m better!” Dark Spyro retaliated, “You using my maneuver against me does not make you better, Legend!” EQG Legendary Spyro replied as he opened fire, “We’ll see about that!” He managed to get a bead on the black copter as it tried to use a counter-maneuver…but the leader of Echo Squadron countered that maneuver by easing off the thrust and opening fire on the black copter before passing by his opponent. He actually heard his opponent yell, “No! My Shields!” EQG Legendary Spyro knew that EQG Dark Spyro’s shields were down, but even without his shields, he still has the same combat capabilities as Legend. He flew underneath the Pirate Train as his rival was closing in from behind. He knew for certain that Dark would want to shoot him down at this very moment, so he continued to duck and weave hoping to throw his rival off track. It was working until his threat warning alarm went off indicating that Dark fired a missile, he dodged the missile as his rival opened fire on his copter. He continued to perform evasive maneuvers until he heard a voice yell, “Legend duck down!” He did so as two gyrocopters and a Mabu Aircraft strafed EQG Dark Spyro’s copter, damaging it. One of the craft spoke, “Sorry we’re late, Legend! We had a hard time trying to locate your beacon until Spike showed up.” EQG Legendary Spyro asked, “Camo, Spike, Snap Shot, Nice of you to join the party!” Snap Shot spoke, “No problem mate! We just wanted to catch up with you guys.” He noticed the damaged black copter, “Your rival’s trailing smoke and is heading for that pirate train!” Spy saw this and realized, “He’s retreating back to the train.” EQG Spike spoke, “We’ll keep you covered while you land on the train to go after him.” EQG Legendary Spyro remembered, “Dark is not alone, Adagio will most likely be there as well…and I’m not going alone either.” He contacted Echo 5, “Sonata, you’re with me. We’re going to land on the Pirate Train to go after Dark Spyro.” There was a brief silence until Sonata responded, “Okay, I have a score to settle with my sister as well.” Spy nodded, “I understand.” Sonata’s copter formed up on Legend’s Copter as the two craft landed on the caboose of the train. After disembarking from their copters, EQG Legendary Spyro and Sonata looked at the group of Sky-Pirates in front of them as they readied their weapons. Legend spoke, “Adagio and Dark Spyro are in the front of this train. We’re going to have to sprint through and take down anything in our path.” Sonata readied her Shield blaster, “I’ll be right behind you!” Soon enough, the duo sprinted through the pirates while uses their weapons and abilities to take down anything in their path. As the pirates tried to fight back at the sprinting duo, Legend summoned a boomerang and threw it at the pirates as several of the defenders were taken down. Although their little brawl caught the attention of the ships outside as they nearly began to open fire on the train until the ships were destroyed by the still fighting Echo Squadron. The duo soon fought the pirates throughout the length of the train and is set to reaching the front where their foes wait for them to battle. The battle throughout the train was hard fought and the many ships that tried to open fire on the train were destroyed by Echo Squadron. As the fighting duo reached their destination, they blew the door to the front of the train open as they used the momentum to skid to a halt right in front of their foes that had their backs turned. Adagio turned to the duo and looked at Sonata, “So, the traitor has finally come to fight.” Sonata pointed, “You and I have a score to settle, Adagio.” Adagio smiled evilly, “I’ve been waiting for this moment to finally see you pay for your treachery.” She pulled out two Magic scimitars as her Siren wings appeared as Sonata unveiled her own Siren wings as the two clashed with each other. EQG Legendary Spyro had a sense to help her out until his eyes started to flash as time slowed down, that flash made him realize that danger is imminent. He turned and saw his Dark rival attempt to surprise him, but Spy did a backflip evading the attack as the two Spyros clashed in a duel. Spy was soon facing his rival as the Dark EQG spoke, “You’re not going anywhere. This fight is between you and me.” Leg. Spyro knew that it’s mono-a-mono for this fight; he got a quick glance at the dueling sisters and then back at his rival who was pacing with his Jagged Swords out. He soon ignited his Katanas as he shows that he’s ready to fight. EQG Dark Spyro charged forward as EQG Leg. Spyro charged as well as their blades clashed and used their powers for each of their attacks. As the rivals locked their blades, Dark Spyro spoke, “So this is our Round two in dueling.” Leg. Spyro spoke, “You won’t have to send someone in this time!” The good EQG pushed his strength towards his rival as they unlocked their blades as Leg. Spyro’s vision slowed down as his rival attempted to strike at him, but he lifted his swords causing their blades to lock as Dark Spyro spoke, “Your friends couldn’t defeat me. So why should you?” Leg. Spyro replied, “I’ve defeated you before and I will defeat you again!” Dark tried to push forward, but Legend pushed him back as he leapt over his rival and delivered a drop-kick which staggered him a little bit. But as the rivals dueled with each other, the dueling sisters were relentless in their fight. Sonata was quick to deflect Adagio’s attacks with her shield and counter-attack with her sword. Her Siren Wings gave her the ability to generate her Light Powers into her shield’s blaster power. She lunged forward and used her sword arts on Adagio’s dual scimitars. Both Sirens were quick and decisive in their attacks until Adagio launched her scimitars at Sonata as the former dazzling timed it at the right moment and raised her shield, deflecting the spinning scimitars back to Adagio, striking the enemy Siren as she knelt down. Adagio said, “You…you are more powerful than I thought. The Skylanders have taught you well.” Sonata replied, “I may be powerful but I still have a lot to learn from them. But you have nothing more to offer me.” Adagio stood up as she yelled, “We had a purpose! We’re Sirens and we are supposed to feed on magic! You threw it away to join the Skylanders!” Sonata replied as she merged her weapons into her Mega Blaster, “You can say that, they are more accepting and see the benefit of having a Siren in their ranks. Let me show you why.” Sonata powered her blaster up and pointed it at the shocked Adagio as her vision showed the images of the EQGs Leg. Spyro, Terrafin, Drobot, Camo and Spike appear until their elemental forms stood beside her, pointing their weapons in Adagio’s direction. This action soon caught the attention of EQG Dark Spyro who was struggling against his good counterpart. The Dark EQG abandoned his duel and ran towards the shocked siren as he pushed Adagio out of the way as Sonata opened fire. The beam struck the Dark EQG as he was knocked into the air and fell down to the ground tumbling around as he landed on his stomach. He tried to get up, but he soon went limp as he passed out and encased in a dome of energy as the princesses appeared in a hologram. EQG Leg. Spyro said, “Use a Magic Trap on Dark Spyro.” Soon enough, that familiar thump of magic occurred and a vortex opened up. It snapped Dark Spyro back to consciousness as he looked up and noticed the vortex and Adagio running towards him. When she reached him, she said, “They will not have you!” She pulled out a remote and pressed the button, opening a Time Portal as she gave him a sealed container as he asked, “Adagio, what are you doing!?” Adagio spoke as she was blocking Dark from being sucked in, “I’m sorry, but this is the only way!” The Dark EQG was confused until the Dazzling pulled off her pendant and gave it to him, “I don’t want them to have you…so you’re going on without me!” Dark Spyro was shocked, “No, I won’t let you do it!” He was trying to convince her until the Dazzling leaned in and linked her lips with his. Although struggling against the vortex, she pushed Dark Spyro into the Time Portal as he yelled, “NNNOOOOOO!!!” She was soon sucked into the vortex as it closed as well. Both EQG Legendary Spyro and Sonata were shocked by this turn of events. Not only EQG Dark Spyro got in the way of Sonata’s blaster attack, but Adagio allowed herself to be captured and allow him to escape. They would’ve thought about it until they realized that the train was falling apart. So they ran back to the gyrocopters and escaped. As they returned to Skylander Academy, Echo Squadron was pretty much ready to return to their time period. Blaster-Tron also wants to return with the rest of the squadron. But before they were sent off, Master Eon halted them for a moment, “Before you heroes leave, there is someone that wants to see you off.” He stood aside and revealed a Supercharger Skylander that EQG Leg. Spyro recognized, “Astroblast, you’re alive!” Astro chuckled, “Luckily, they managed to pick up my distress beacon and pick me up.” Spy nodded, “It’s good to see you’re okay.” But then he spoke to Eon about Blaster-Tron, “If we do change our fate, would Blaster-Tron still exist?” Eon nodded his head, “Blaster-Tron was created by Drobot and when you reshape the past, the robot will still exist.” He looked at the group and said, “You have a great battle ahead of you. For our time period to change, all of you must survive.” EQG Spike nodded, “We won’t let the future down.” Future Sonata replied, “We know that you won’t let us down.” The cockpits on the copters closed as the squadron lifted off and into a Time Rift created by the Rift Engines to return to their time period. Eon wished, “Good Luck, Echo Squadron.”
