Thumpback vs Frightbeard

After infiltrating the Pirate Fortress and getting back the clues to the Chest of Exile, The Skylanders now began setting a course for the Chest's location. Princess Luna saw Thumpback looking straight ahead on the horizon, she asked,

"What's wrong, Thumpback?"

Thumpback turned to the Princess of the Night and replied, "I knew that this would happen, I just never expected Frightbeard to make his move so soon."

Princess Luna spoke, "I'm starting to think that you have a past with Frightbeard."

Thumpback replied, "I knew that Frightbeard was the saltiest of all the seadogs back when I was once a member of his crew. He and his crew called me a traitor and a deserter for abandoning ship, but in truth, I was pulled overboard by the Leviathan Crab."

Luna asked, "I can see now why you wanted to leave Frightbeard's ship."

Thumpback laughed, "It turned out to be my lucky break because Frightbeard and his fleet were banished into the Chest of Exile."

Princess Celestia overheard their conversation, "I still don't understand. If Frightbeard was imprisoned in the Chest of Exile...how did he escape?" Thumpback and the Royal Sisters began to overlook ideas on how Frightbeard escaped from the Chest of Exile until their eyes widen in shock and one name came out of their mouths,

"Malefor!"

Thumpback continued, "I should've known, Malefor would free Frightbeard from the Chest of Exile. He is the only dragon that has that kind of power."

Princess Celestia stated, "If Frightbeard frees his fleet, they could go to Malefor..."

Princess Luna finished, "And build a new army!" It wasn't until they got a message from Master Eon on the Mini-Portal,

"You have done well, your Highnesses and I'm sure you know what could happen if Frightbeard releases his fleet?"

Princess Luna replied, "We know all too well about Frightbeard's intension on devastating Skylands and building Malefor's new army."

Master Eon nodded as he said, "Behold."

The Portal showed an image of Frightbeard climbing to the Chest of Exile as he said,

"Aye, it was long ago, when them blasted rust buckets locked me away in that cursed realm of nothingness. But as I reclaim me giant sword and unleash me giant pirate fleet, I will plunder Skylands, right down to their blasted skivvies!!" Frightbeard fired a cannon from his hat and laughed in his evil pirate laugh as he pulled his sword from the Chest of Exile. Once he pulled his sword out from the chest, it opened up revealing and releasing Frightbeard's fleet. He smiled as he said, "Aye, welcome back, me plundering pirates."

The releasing of Frightbeard's fleet has created a maelstrom as his ships were flying all around The Phantom Tide. The Dread-Yacht arrived at the maelstrom as it was occurring and Flynn said,

"I guess were a little late for the party."

Cali spoke, "Hurry, Flynn, we got to get the Skylanders to that chest, with luck, they could be able to stop it."

Hugo added, "As long as we don't get smashed to pieces." Until he was frightened by a sheep which hit the window. Flynn spoke, "Don't worry, as long as I have my legendary pilot skills." Flynn pulled a lever which fired a harpoon at a nearby island that served as an anchor. Cali looked at the rope that connects to the island,

"That will do, now the rest is up to the Skylanders."

In the Equestrian Portal Chamber, Master Eon was looking at Thumpback's progress to reach the Phantom Tide and confront Frightbeard until Star Strike, the CMC and the Swap Force Skylanders that they found, appeared in the Portal Chamber. Master Eon noticed Star Strike had the CMC hugging her as they reappeared, he put that aside and said,

"Star Strike, you have managed to find most of the Swap Force and the Core Skylanders, but its not over yet."

Star Strike replied, "I understand Master Eon. We need to find a few more, but I don't sense anymore Swap Force Skylanders."

The Alicorn spoke, "Only time will tell." Master Eon turned his attention back to the Portal of Power and saw Thumpback facing Frightbeard.

On board The Phantom Tide stood the most fearsome pirate, Frightbeard and the Water Giant, Thumpback coming face-to-face, the pirate grinned,

"Aye, you given me crew quite the chase. And now you are here to walk the plank, traitor."

Thumpback replied, "You know what I think, I think you've gone way too far. You might've freed your fleet, but I can still stop you."

Frightbeard spoke, "Ye can return with me and be a member of me crew again. Imagine an island worth of treasure, ye can be very rich."

Thumpback brought out his anchor, "You think me an idiot? I have no quarrel with a pirate like you! I would rather walk the plank than be a member of your crew again."

Frightbeard said sinisterly, "Methinks that you can stop me, but ye would not dodge me magic sword." He turned to his pirates, "Go get 'em, boys. The first one who brings me Thumpback's head will get an island full of treasure!"

Thumpback readied his anchor as Frightbeard sent out his goons to fight him, they might've been formidable, but they were no match for Thumpback's anchor and belly flop. The sight of Thumpback defeating Frightbeard's goons agitated the fearsome pirate and decided,

"Ye imbeciles, I'll deal with him myself!"

Thumpback joked, "Your move." Frightbeard snickered, "Ye cannot match against me magic sword. But lets see how well you handle these attacks."

Frightbeard began to move forward while slashing his sword side to side, leaving trail marks on the deck. Thumpback began moving backwards as Frightbeard came closer until the pirate was in position, Thumpback struck with his anchor. Frightbeard deflected the anchor as the pirate slashed at Thumpback, but was deflected by his adversary's anchor. Thumpback and Frightbeard moved in a circle like a fencing match, each time they would move, they would move in the direction away from the opponent. Thumpback saw an opportunity and struck Frightbeard off guard, Frightbeard retaliated with a Fire Slash, but missed as Thumpback stepped out of the way.

Frightbeard used his Sword's Earth ability to drop boulders on top of Thumpback, but it was all shot down when Thumpback used his belly slide and chomped at Frightbeard. Thumpback decided to end the fight by wrapping his chain around Frightbeard and dis-arm him of his sword. Thumpback was now holding Frightbeard's sword in his hand, he looked at the Chest of Exile and said,

"I think this should go back to where it belongs." Thumpback threw the sword to the Chest of Exile, used his anchor as a grappling hook and flung it at the Dread-Yacht. As he left the Phantom Tide, Frightbeard's sword flew through the air and landed into the Chest, Frightbeard yelled,

"Noooooo!!!" As the 'lock' was being restored, Frightbeard, The Phantom Tide and the pirate fleet were all sucked by in the Chest, not before Frightbeard swore,

"AHH, Curse ye, ye meddling fool. Mark me words, Thumpback, ye haven't seen the last of Frightbeard!!!!"

As the maelstrom created from the chest diminished, Flynn was telling Cali how he was the one to defeat Frightbeard until she mentioned the Skylanders. Flynn was hit with a book that came with Thumpback who was climbing the hull of the ship. He said,

"This cookbook came from one of Frightbeard's ships. Flynn, how about you go grocery shopping for our Victory Desert while the Royal Sisters and I deliver a report to Master Eon."

Flynn replied, "I'm already setting a course for the Desert Island!" He paused for a moment and then he said, "CAKE!!"

---

When Thumpback and the Royal Sisters returned to Equestria, they were introduced to the newly found Swap Force Skylanders, Free Ranger, Rattle Shake, Fire Kraken and Hoot Loop. The Core Skylanders, even Star Strike introduced themselves as they had a Skylander Reunion. Master Eon had an announcement to make,

"During our free time, the Swap Force and I built a portal, similar to the portal to the Variant World, but this portal leads to other universes, mostly alternate universes. But its still in the Prototype stage."

The Skylanders understand how important this 'Multiverse Portal is and is in the experimental stage, but Eon unveiled the portal before Flynn came through the Portal of Power with the Skylanders' very big Victory desert, "Did anyone order a huge Pirate Cake?!"

Eon chuckled, "Well, everything is done today, let us eat...but the size of that cake...we could share it with the rest of the city. Where did you find this recipe?"

Flynn replied, "In this cookbook that Thumpback recovered from one of Frightbeard's ships."

Later that night, most of Canterlot was having an amazing pirate desert.

Author's Note:

So it was a confrontation between Thumpback and Frightbeard, I read Thumpback's Back story and it told how he was a member of Frightbeard's crew, it mentioned 'The Phantom Tide' Frightbeard's Ship. But as for that portal, I'm going to add in a new 'Multiverse' Chapter that would involve Spike jumping through the portal to find what was stolen.

(SPOILER ALERT!!!)
