The moon glows: part 5

At the academy

“Hey, thanks again for helping with the robot head.” Cali walked by Carmen’s side, just now getting out of the academy library.

“Uh, no problem.” Carmen smiled. “It looks pretty cool on your wall.”

“Right?“ Cali beamed. “I kind of wish it didn't come from Moneybones’ raid.“

“Yeah, that sucked.“ the smilodon nodded. “Didn't he try to take on Eon, too?“

“Yeah, and apparently had a whole power up, too.“ the mabu stopped walking and looked at the ground, pondering as Carmen stopped right beside her.

“..How would he get a power up?” They raised an eyebrow, questioning what the skeleton was even trying to do.

“That’s what I’m saying.” She folded her arms, looking back at Carmen. “What did he use to try and one up Eon and why?”

He just shrugged, glancing at the ground then back at Cali. “Maybe because he’s just stupid?”

“.. Yeah that checks out.” The mabu nodded.

“Hey, what ya guys talkin’ about?” Flynn walked up to the two, smiling like a fool.

“About Moneybones being stupid.” Carmen placed his hands on his hips.

“Boy, ain’t that the truth.” The pilot mumbled. “Monkey bones might be the stupidest of stupid to exist.”

“Why did you decide to come over here?” Cali unfolded her arms, furrowing her left brow.

“Needed a small break from-“

He was cut off by the screaming of Lex getting chased by Glace in her ice dragon form, pissed. Oh jeez, what did he do now?

“GLACE, GLACE IT WAS A JOKE I’M SORRY- NO. DON’T FREEZE ME PLEASE- OH SHIT!” The emo screamed, still running from the Dohi, who was readying her ice breath.

“..that.” Flynn pointed at the two with his thumb.

“What did Lex do this time?” Carmen shook her head, annoyed with Lex’s antics, to which the pilot just shrugged with a ‘I dunno’ hum sound.

“.. Anyways, I just don’t get what would make him ‘power up’.” Cali continued, going back to the original topic. “Maybe some left over petrified darkness?”

“Or some weird crystal thing.” The smilodon replied.

“Or some strange tacos.. wait, what are we talking about?” Flynn darted his eyes back and forth in confusion, getting an eye roll from Carmen.

“Moneybones? His attack?” They grunted, somewhat frustrated.

“Oh right, yeah..” He nodded, acting like he didn’t just forget what they were talking about. “Whatever he used, Monkeybones won’t be getting that close to Eon after that! And if he tries, well.. time for me to kick some boney ass.” Flynn did his iconic smug grin. “Boom.”

Before anyone could add anything, a small rocket flew just barely behind Flynn, making him jump forward and yell.

“Sorry, Flynn! My aiming with this thing is a little rusty!” Mags shouted, holding the bazooka as Sagittarius stood next to her, slightly concerned. “Has a lot more kick than I remember, too.” The inventor looked at the weapon.

“It’s all fine, I guess.” Flynn straightened himself out, trying to look cool. (But alas.. he’s a fool)

“Anyways, that’s how far it can go, Sage!” Mags giggled with joy. “Pretty cool, right?”

“Uh, yeah!” Sagittarius smiled softly. “Pretty cool, Maggy.”

“Yup!” The inventor threw the bazooka over her shoulder. “I’m glad you asked to see this. Haven’t used this since you've started your training.” She chuckled.

“Why’d you stop?” The portal master glanced at the weapon.

“Tried using it to shoot off confetti and fireworks. Didn't go as I planned it too.“ Mags shurgged, getting a wide eyed look from her.

“.. I'm not sure why I’m surprised.” Sagittarius shook her head and changed back to her resting face.

“Yeah, welp, at least it's not jammed by confetti bits anymore.“ Mags patted the back of the bazooka as Sagittarius scratched her head.

“Hey, I'm also grateful we did this, but I do have to get going.“ The portal master moved her hand down, fidgeting with her fingers. “I um.. promised my friends I’d see them, and-“

“If you need to go, then go.” The inventor furrowed her right brow, smiling. “But don't try to sneak in my lab and steal somethin, just ask me if you need anythin’.“

“H-how did-“

“Sage, please, you've been doing this type of shit since you were nine, you think I wouldn't know?“ Mags cut of Sagittarius, giving her a tired look. “Just go see Spyro and Stealth elf.“

Sagittarius paused for six seconds, then walked away with a nervous expression on her face.

“But I did have fun shooting this!“ Mags continued, smiling like a little kid and lifting up the bazooka.

Mod notes: I love writing Mags like this she's so awesome bro yes gurl shoot that bazooka shoot Monkybones in the eye with it

The Moon Glows: part 3

At Main Street

This place still looked like shit. Some repairs were made and all the damaged decorations were cleaned up, but this place still looked like absolute shit.

“What I don’t understand is why Moneybones would try to attack Eon himself.” Jet vac ranted as he looked at the street with Pop Fizz.

“Me either. Then again, I don’t understand a lot of things.” Pop fizz scratched his fuzzy head.

“Whatever it was, we need to be on guard at all times.” Buzz grumbled, walking over to the two with Lex and Flynn behind him. “If that Monkeybones bastard is willing to try and take on Eon, who’s to say more evil hombres won’t try and do the same?”

“Maybe the next attack will be from Str-“ the gremlin immediately got shushed by the eagle man.

“Pop, we are not supposed to say his name.” Jet vac snared, to which Pop fizz just looked at him confused.

“Just say his name, it’s not like he’s gonna show up and kill you right here right now.” The older mabu rolled his eyes.

“Who this guy anyway?” Lex raised a brow. (I love using the same expression can’t you tell)

“The one who is more evil than evil itself..” Flynn dramatically and jokingly commented. “It is.. he who must not be named..” the pilot waved his arms and made ghostly groans in a mocking manner, getting a snicker from the emo.

“Very funny, Flynn.” Jet vac replied sarcastically.

“Why thank you, JV.” Flynn smirked, placing his fists on his waist.

“I’m avoiding his name out of respect for Master Eon. You know how he feels about what happened.” The eagle crossed his arms.

“Oh please, if he can’t get over his family feud, than that’s his own damn fault.” Buzz pointed his stick at Jet vac.

“I mean, I can’t get over my problems with my own parents, so I can’t say anything .” The emo mabu mumbled to himself.

“Buzz is right about being on guard, though.” Pop fizz nodded. “Especially in case Str-.. he attacks.” The gremlin fuzzball corrected himself.

“I do agree with that.” The eagle replied. “We should be prepared, another attack can happen at any second.

“Or even ‘he who must not be named’… he could attack right now!” Lex squeezed on a ketchup packet, making it explode all over him and the pilot. “Blood everywhere, slaughter of millions!” The emo mimicked screams of terror as he lowered to the ground, playing dead.

“My act was better, bro.” Flynn wiped the ketchup off his face as Lex just looked at him, annoyed.

Buzz shook his head as he chuckled. “You two and your nonsense.” He smiled as the emo got up. “But you also need to watch your back, compadres. My secret ninja commando senses tell me something very bad is about to happen.”

Flynn scoffed at the comment, throwing his hand playfully. “C’mon, Buzz, I’m the best pilot in all of skylands for a reason, I can handle whatever your ninja tomato says is coming.” The pilot smirked once again.

“Glad you’re so confident about it, but what about him?” The commander pointed at the emo.

“I can handle myself just fine. I have the old hellraiser on my side.” Lex pulled out the flamethrower, smiling like it’s Christmas Day.

“You named it ‘hellraiser’?” Flynn looked at the weapon.

“Yeah. Got a problem?” The emo put the flamethrower back in his jacket.

“Well, you could pick a better name. Like ‘flame of thrones’, or ‘Dracula breath’, or ‘Ted’.” The pilot shrugged.

“Who fucking names their flamethrower ‘Ted’?” Lex raised a brow, confused with Flynn’s suggestion.

“Well, who names their flamethrower ’hellraiser’?” Flynn snapped back.

“Any chance you boys can save your banter later?” Buzz asked, getting the attention of the two morons.

“I’m not a boy, I’m a pilot!” Flynn shouted like a dumbass.

Jet vac did his best to ignore the mabus bickering as he looked at the Sky, hoping that he and the other Skylanders can face him if the day ever comes..

Mod notes: so let’s just ignore that I basically called myself a moron. Cool? Cool.

Heroes are made: part 10

Tw for some sexual humor (just something that Everest says that to me sort of counts as him talking about sexual harassment/assault so just in case)

The destruction was extremely evident in the street. Lights? Destroyed. Lanterns? Destroyed. Ornaments? Destroyed. The bar? Was the only thing that was okay somehow. Everything (except the bar of course) was left in pieces.

Eon sighed in agitation. All of this destruction, all for what? And the bar was the only thing that was fine?- how is the bar the only thing that’s fine!? Whatever, probably won’t get an answer anyway.

Everest and Hugo walked through the destruction, stopping at a broken star ornament.

“I’m sorry your first festival wasn’t very.. pleasant.” Hugo looked at the ornament remorsefully.

“It actually wasn’t too bad for me.” Everest shrugged. “I mean yeah, I almost died and the place is in shambles, but no one tried getting into my pants, so that’s something.” The binturong smiled very so awkwardly.

“Yeah, um..” the mabu scratched his head. “Maybe we can go to a calmer place next time.”

“Like a coffee shop?” The librarian suggested

“Yeah, coffee is good.” The assistant nodded, smiling softly. “Oh, there’s this one called ‘Bert’s brews’, and oh my portals, it is the most amazing place I have been to.”

“Really? Never been there before.” The binturong shrugged again.

“It’s really good place, we can go there if it’s not destroyed.” The mabu blushed slightly.

Everest looked at the ground, thinking for a bit, then turned back to Hugo. “Alright, Bert’s brews it is.” He nodded, also blushing (waow okay fruit loops/silly)

“Wonderful!” Hugo’s voice cracked. Noticing he did this again he cleared his throat. “What day sounds good?”

“Friday at seven?” Everest wagged his tail. (binturongs don’t wag tails when they’re happy but whatever Everest does)

“Sounds great!” The mabu smiled, still blushing.

“Great!” The binturong nodded, also still blushing.

Flynn watched the two from a afar, Lex and Glace standing next to him.

“See? They’re even planning their second date!” Flynn smiled widely. “Oh yeah. Best wing man in all of Skylands. Boom.” He smiled smugly, gently nudging the bunny as she rolled her eyes playfully.

“And you still have no girlfriend.” Lex commented, snickering as he got another annoyed look from Flynn.

“Well, neither do you, so you have no room to talk.” The pilot replied, getting an offended look from the emo while Glace giggled at the comment.

Cali walked with Carmen, who seemed a little overwhelmed after all of the wreckage. The broken lights were all over the place, pieces of glass surrounding them.

“Oh man..” the cat like mabu mumbled under her breath.

“Well, this isn’t the shit show I thought I’d be seeing tonight.” The smilodon crossed their arms.

“I’m sorry, Car.” Cali placed her hand on Carmen’s shoulder, trying to comfort him.

“It’s fine. Either or, it was probably all gonna go wrong.” Carmen still seemed a bit upset. (I mean fair bro you worked hard to decorate that place I’d be upset too it’s okay)

Spyro picked up a lantern, or what was left of it. Man, to think tonight was supposed to be full of fun and joy only to be ruined the way it was.

Buzz shook his head at the sight of the place. No one was injured (besides Spyro and Eon but they’re okay now), but he can’t imagine the amount of people the night scarred. What had Moneybones here in the first place? What could be so important to his ‘lord’ that he had to cause hell?

Sagittarius walked to Eon with a concerned expression on her face.

“Hey, Master Eon, I know that I’m prying a bit here, but who exactly is Moneybones ‘lord’?” She asked the elder portal master

Eon paused for a moment then turned his head to her, looking at her with a calm, yet blank expression.

“All I can say is it’s someone I do not want to speak of.” He answered, bluntly.

Meanwhile, somewhere in a cult like place..

Moneybones walked into what seemed like a throne room in an evil castle, ashamed with himself for his defeat.

“My lord, do forgive me.” The count bowed down to a dark figure in the room. “I have failed you so horribly, I-“

“Moneybones, do not fret.” The dark figure replied, walking to him. “You have proven the dark traptanium actually was worth creating. Please rise.”

“But I have failed to get Eon.” Moneybones looked confused, rising before the figure.

“Do not worry about it.” The figure turned around, walking to what seemed to be a throne. “My mistake was sending someone get him for me. What I really need to do is give him a reason to come here.”

“And, uh, not to question your plans, my lord, but what would that be?” The count raised a brow, wondering what reason anyone would come here for.

“Someone he cares about, someone he’d willingly save on his own.” The figure looked back at the skeleton. “Someone he may consider family.”

Moneybones smiled as he slowly realized and nodded. “Okay, despite the obvious villain cliche, I may have some ideas, lord Strykore.”

Strykore, the evil figure, turned to look at the skeleton with a small smile on his face.

“Do share.” The dark portal master nodded.

Mod notes: OKAY. Okay, kind of rushed but I do not want to let this get posted on the very first day of 2026. Anyways, chapter one is all FINALLY wrapped up. I better get on the next one. Happy new years!

Heroes are made: part 7

The sun was slowly setting, lanterns burned, and the lights shined bright as people gathered around the stage, ready for the festival to begin.

“People of Skylands, welcome to the fiftieth annual Star festival!” Eon shouted from the stage.

“You know, I still don't get how this is a real thing.“ Sagittarius, standing in the crowd with Spyro next to her, gestured her arm to the setup of the festival as Eon continued to speak.

“I think Eon made it a thing because he just wanted to.“ Spyro shrugged.

“Why call it a star festival though? What does it have to do with stars?“ she crossed her arms, looking at the sky.

“Maybe he just needed a really cool name.“ the dragon replied. “That, or he just really likes astrology.“ he added on, getting a chuckle from the young portal master as she rolled her eyes, both of them listening to Eon now that he was finishing up

“And now I say, let this celebration begin!“ the elder portal master exclaimed.

7 minutes later

There was much joy tonight. People catching up on lost time, children playing around, some people doing festival games, all around wonderful fun!

Hugo walked around with Everest as they both went on and on about books, magic, and random stories from their pasts.

“And ever since that day, I've done my best to avoid sheep.“ The mabu shivered even at the thought of sheep.

“Wow, that's crazy.“ Everest replied. “I'm sorry that happened.“ he added, trying to comfort the assistant.

“It's alright now. I just get mocked for being scared of those demons.“ Hugo laughed awkwardly.

“If it makes you feel any less alone, I've always hated eels. Something about the way they looked rubbed me me the wrong way.“ the binturong’s face expressed discomfort about the slimy beady little eyed creatures. “My younger sister would tease me for it whenever she got the chance.“

“Siblings are a lot like that.“ The mabu nodded. “Making fun of you for the smallest of things.“

“You sure you didn't just describe Lex?“ The librarian commented jokingly, getting a small chuckle from Hugo.

Flynn, a long with Cali, Carmen, Lex, and a bunny, watched the two gays from the bar, proud of getting the two together at this time.

“See guys? I'm not only the best pilot in all of skylands, I am the best wingman. Boom.“ the pilot smirked.

“Then how come you don't have a girlfriend yet, mr ’woman charmer’?“ Carmen jokingly commented.

“Well, that's because some people just can't handle my awesome charm, Car.“ He held a dramatic pause.

“Or your just not that great with women as you would like to think.“ Lex smiled in a cocky manner, getting an annoyed look from Flynn.

“Be nice to him, you guys, it's not his fault he can't flirt for the life of him.“ Cali replied, joining in on the teasing, smiling playfully.

“Ha ha, very funny.“ The slightly bigger mabu sarcastically responded while the emo one just snickered. “Look, just because I don't have a girlfriend myself doesn't mean I can't help Hugo with his popcorn loving boyfriend.“

“When did Everest ever say that he loved popcorn?“ The smilodon raised a brow.

“He never did, but he sure smells like he would. And he sure could learn how to share some with others.“ Flynn gestured to the grey binturong. “Am I wrong, Glace?” He asked the bunny, Glace. But before she could get a word out..

“Oh please, asking someone who’s obviously gonna side with you won’t help, bro.” Lex smirked, getting on Flynn’s nerves even more now.

“Hey, I was asking for her opinion, you asshat.” The pilot punched the emo in the shoulder, not hard enough to knock him over, but hard enough to get back at him.

Glace shook her head in some annoyance while the two continued their banter.

“Back on the popcorn thing, Flynn knows binturong don’t smell like that because they eat popcorn, right?” Carmen asked, turning to Cali.

“I doubt it.” The cat like mabu raised an eyebrow.

“..should we tell him?” The smilodon pointed at him.

“..Nah.” The adventure replied.

At the other side of the bar, Spyro watched the people celebrate as he held a filled glass with his upper foot (thats a foot right? Hand? Whatever). Everyone was having a great time, dancing, playing, talking, nothing could go wrong…

But Spyro couldn’t shake something off. He had this feeling something bad was gonna happen, he’s been having it for weeks, weird dreams, worrying thoughts, what if it-

“Hey, Spyro, you okay?” Stealth Elf walked up to the dragon, snapping him out of his trance at the ground.

“Hm? Oh, yeah. I’m fine, stealth. Just um.. thinking.” Spyro nodded, taking a sip of the drink.

“About what?” The elf grabbed a seat for herself. “How it’s great no one’s wasted so far?” She continued, getting a laugh from the dragon and ordering herself a drink.

“No, not really. But it is great, I will say that.” He nodded. “I’ve actually been thinking of these.. weird dreams Ive been having lately.”

“Like a bad weird or just weird?” She raised a brow, getting her beverage.

“Bad weird.” Spyro took another sip. “I’ve been meaning to talk to Eon about it, but he’s been pretty busy with this whole.. thing.” He gestured to the festival.

“Well, is it okay if I get some details on what these dreams are about?” Stealth elf took a huge swig of the liquid, looking at Spyro when she was done.

“Well.. basically it’s-“ he was interrupted by a loud thud and what felt like a baby earth quake (I guess in this case land quake). Everyone felt it, questioning what just happened. What caused the ground to shake like that?

“..What was that?” Stealth elf got up from her seat.

“That wasn’t me guys, I swear. The enchiladas chose peace today.” Flynn pointed his finger at the group with him, assuring them it wasn’t his stomach.

Buzz, with one of the mabus from his defense force, looked at the ground, knowing someone or something evil was gonna show up, he slowly pulled out his gun. “Make sure the rest of the force is ready!” He demanded, to which the younger mabu nodded and ran to find the rest of the force.

The land quake got more violent, cracks showing up in the ground, light shining through those very cracks, white mist flooded the area as the locals panicked.

Eons face went cold as he realized what was happening. An old foe from a long time ago.. a servant of.. him.

A black and grey coffin with a huge skull on the front, bones on the sides, and purple lining around the door rose with the mist, revealing a bright purple light shining through once opened.

Sagittarius and Mags were about six feet away from the evil coffin.

“Um, Mags. What’s happening!?” The young portal master exclaimed.

“Looks like old Moneybones is here..” the inventor answered, holding her staff tightly.

“Ah! Sorry I’m late to the party.” Moneybones, a skeleton with gold and purple armor walked out, in a pretty evil way.

“I do not recall you ever being invited, you boney bastard!” Buzz cocked his gun, ready to shoot the evil bone man.

“Now that is no way to treat a count, sir.” The skeleton shook his head.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever monkey bones, you still aren’t welcome!” Flynn shouted, walking up to the scene with Cali by his side.

“It’s Moneybones to you, foolish mabu!” Moneybones shouted,

“Hey. Watch it, wannabe skeletor.” Cali held her knife handle tight, not pulling it out just yet. “It’s only okay when we make fun of him.”

“Yeah, what she said!” The pilot shouted, smugly posing as if he just totally owned him.

“Whatcha want, anyway?” The commander mabu grumbled.

“Oh, it’s no matter to you, old man. I am only here to complete the task my lord has assigned me to.” The count looked at Eon from quite a distance. “But.. he never said I couldn’t rain on your parade.” He laughed evilly as an army of undead robots rose from the ground, ready to attack.

Mod notes: I’m talking to myself like that one “I’m tired of this grandpa!” “WELL THATS TOO DAMN BAD!!!” meme. Anyways, yayy we’re finally getting to the fighting yippie.

The moon glows: part 11

Tw this part contains: Blood, violence, needles, drugging, strangulation, and Cali and Flynn harm. (I apologize to the very specific Flynn fan and the very specific Cali fan)

Sagittarius picked up Kira like they weighed nothing and threw her as hard as she could into the wall, making it crack as the undead portal master fell forward.

The life portal master panted. Both of them were bruised, aching, tired, but they had to keep fighting until one of them was down. Kira grunted when getting up, trying to ignore the pain in her muscles.

“Not bad.” Kira smirked, giving the life portal master a small chuckle. “But I'm better.“ They clenched their hands into fists, purple magic surrounding her knuckles as she formed another orb to blast Sagittarius with, and.. she dodged it. Wow. Okay. People have some of the worst aim here, huh?

“You sure about that-“ Sagittarius started to question, getting cut off by the undead portal master tackling her then punching her lower stomach as hard as they could, getting a loud and pained groan from the other.

“Yeah. Yeah, I’m sure.” Kira answered, pulling out a syringe with the same green liquid Moneybones used on Spyro, then plunging it in her shoulder, getting a surprise grunt from the life portal master. “Maybe you just need some rest, yeah?” They asked, pulling out the needle after pushing in all the strange liquid.

Kira stood up as Sagittarius started to struggle getting up, eyes drowsy. “It might not work as well on you. I don’t know, I don’t think Strykore tried this stuff on portal masters before, but it works on dragons for sure.” They scratched their head, glancing at the ground as she pondered, looking back at Sagittarius, who was still struggling to get up, and getting even more drowsy. “I guess we’ll see for sure.” She shrugged, watching the life portal master drop back down, unconscious.

“Well, talk later then. I got a dragon to hold hostage.” Kira replied, walking out to the crazed battle that was happing outside. “Oh shit, you guys have been pretty busy.”

“You think?!” Melancholy shouted, snapping stealth elf’s leg as he turned it, breaking it as she screamed in pain. “This bitch is the most stubborn person I know.”

“Have you met Cali? She doesn’t know when to quit!” Moneybones shouted, dodging the mabus attempt to punch him as she panted. “I mean seriously, why bother- OW!” Cali punched the skeleton once more in the left eye. “Damn you!”

Cali giggled, tired from fighting the skeleton while holding her wounded shoulder. “I’m surprised you can still see at this point.” She snickered, getting an annoyed groan from Moneybones before he swung his staff at her head, making her fall down as her head started to bleed.

“You should talk less, it’d really help you in battle.” The skeleton chuckled, not noticing the pilot with a baseball bat right behind him-

Thunk!

Flynn swung the baseball bat right into the counts skull, making him yelp as he nearly fell backwards, catching himself.

“How’s that feel, Monkeybones?!“ The pilot yelled, trying to ignore the pain in his leg.

Before Moneybones could even answer, he was hit by a missile that nearly sent him flying off the island again before getting caught by Melancholy then gently placed down near the tree.

“There we go!” Mags shouted, running to the scene and proudly holding the bazooka .

“Hang on, I’ll handle this one.” Kira tilted her head side to side, cracking her neck before running up to the undead inventor and attempting to blast her. To which Mags dodged by ducking, popping back up as she swung the weapon at their head, and.. They also ducked before actually blasting her this time, okay.

At the right side of the academy (I forgot Lex and Glace were here too just- just pretend that whole fight wasn’t very loud, cool? Cool.)

“Look, I said I’m sorry, okay!?” Lex shivered, looking at the bunny as she had her arms crossed. “It was just a bad joke! I just thought it would be funny.“

Glace’s eyebrows furrowed, pissed with the mabu’s awful ’jokes’. Lex sighed as his ears slightly went down.

“Sorry I took it too far-“

Lex started, getting interrupted by Mags as she fell face first right in front of the two, catching both of them off guard as the inventor grunted.

“Oh, hey Mags.” The emo commented.

“Hey guys!” Mags replied, darting up then running back to the crazy scene.

Glace glanced at Lex in confusion, uncrossing her arms as the emo shrugged in response before getting a look at the situation.

“What was that abou- HOLY SHIT.” He yelled, finally seeing what’s been happening as Glace took a look for herself, surprised by the mess but immediately turned her focus to the imp strangling Flynn with his middle arms, her gasp getting the emo’s attention.

“How's that for a spiderman?“ Melancholy seethed, tightening his grip as the pilot struggled to get the hands off his neck.

“Oh, absolutely the fuck not!“ Lex yelled, pulling out his flamethrower as Glace transformed into a dragon, the two sprinting at the imp while the dohi pounced on him, readying her ice breath.

“Oh, fuck off!!“ Melancholy yelled, kicking off Glace and darting up before getting wacked in the face by Lex with the hellraiser as the dohi froze his legs.

“You okay, Flynn?“ The emo ran to the pilot, getting his head under his arm and helping him up slowly.

“Yeah, don’t worry about me, I think Spiderman over there might’ve gotten a cramp in his hands while choking me.” Flynn pointed at Melancholy, who was struggling to free himself from the ice holding him to the ground as Glace shifted back into a bunny, putting the pilot’s arm around her shoulder to support him.

“You few really think you can just- OW!” Moneybones had another rock thrown at his left eye by Lex.

“Couldn’t hear ya, Moneybitch!” The emo grinned right before helping Cali up.

“Okay, seriously, this is getting old!” the skeleton yelled, annoyed with everyone hitting him in the eye, (I do admit I use the gag too much) but before Moneybones could attempt to attack anyone, he was shot in the back, making him fall forward.

“SHOULD’VE GONE BACK TO YOUR LORD MONKEYBITCH!” Buzz yelled from the airship as Carmen stopped it right at the side of the academy, the group running onto the island.

“Well, shit!” Melancholy grunted, finally just blasting the ice holding him and breaking it. “Kirs!”

Kira turned to the imp as she held Mags with dark purple magic, same color of aura surrounding her hands as the inventor squirmed and grunted.

“I’d say it’s time to fucking go!” He yelled, gesturing to Eon forming blue orbs around his hand with Buzz next to him, attempting to shoot Melancholy who.. ducked. Okay.

“Fair enough.” They shrugged, stopping their magic as they dropped Mags, who fell face first.

The evil three quickly gathered together as Moneybones pulled out his gold clock, teleporting the trio back to their home base.

“Damn it!” The mabu commander shouted.

Carmen was too busy worrying about Cali, running to her then holding her up help her stand. “Cali! Holy ancients.” They muttered.

“.. Are you an angel?” The mabu explorer asked with strained voice, getting a flustered reaction from the smilodon.

“..No.” He answered.

Mags got up, dusted herself off and turned to look at the inside of the academy, her eyes widening once she saw the unconscious Sagittarius. “Sage!” She ran over to her, getting on her knees and checking the portal masters pulse on her neck, sighing in relief when realizing she’s alive.

Eon, still outside of the academy, walked up to stealth elf and picked her up, carrying her.

“Stealth elf, where is Spyro?” He asked calmly, but concerned.

The elf paused for a moment, glancing at the ground before looking back at the portal master. “They took him.” She answered, unhappy to tell him the news.

Eon’s face went from concern to fear. What did he want with Spyro? More importantly, why did Moneybones and his other lackeys try to cause destruction? His facial expression changed back to some concern when he looked at stealth elf’s leg.

“Let’s go. We need to get help for everyone’s injuries.” Eon turned to Hugo, who nodded and walked with the elder portal master to the ship.

Mod notes: I could not stop giggling at the Moneybones flying part lmao OH but also also chapter three is starting soon!! Maybe.. Anyway, there will be angst for sure!!

Heroes are made: part 9

TRIGGER WARNINGS

This part contains: blood, gore, violence, death, and.. yeah that’s about it really.

Eon stood there far from the street, expecting Moneybones to show up and try to take him down.

“Hello there, Eon..” the count walked up to the elder portal master, slowly. “Your brother wishes to see you.. alone.”

“Then he can see me himself instead of sending his lackeys.” Eon held his head high, standing defensively.

“He would, but he's a little busy with things right now.“ Moneybones responded, pulling out a piece of traptanium that was.. exactly like the dark traptanium from earlier that day.

Eon silently gasped as his blood ran cold at the sight of the traptanium (take a shot each time I put Eon and cold in the same sentance. Actually don't do that don't- don’t take that into consideration. Please.), hearing whispers from this piece too. If Moneybones got that from his ’lord’, then that only furthers the suspicion that he made it.

“He gave me this as a nice gift! To make me as strong as him, and if not that, stronger.” The skeleton grasped the traptanium as it glowed a dark purple. “And if you don’t leave with me peacefully, I would be very happy to test it out.”

Eon readied a magic orb. “I’d like to see you try..” he said, obviously not just gonna leave.

“Lovely.” Moneybones replied, taking the traptanium to his chest plate thing (for the sake of the plot we’re having his chest plate thing have a hole that can take crystals and whatever okay? Okay) , gently placing it in there and absorbing the dark energy and.. looking the same just with dark purple aura light glowing. Huh. Lame.

With Sagittarius and Spyro

Sagittarius ran as if her life depended on it, trying to get to Eon as soon as possible.

“Come on, Sage! Move faster!” Spyro shouted, flying past her swiftly.

“I’m moving as fast as I can!” The portal master yelled back, frustrated.

“You should still move faster!” The dragon exclaimed, ahead of her.

“EASY FOR YOU TO SAY, YOU CAN FLY!” She yelled louder, starting to catch up to him.

“AND YOU’RE A PORTAL MASTER!” He yelled again.

Back to Eon and this epic fight

They circled around each other, slowly, one waiting for the other to just attack already.

Eon shot the orb, missing as Moneybones dodged and tried blasting back, also missing. The count tried blasting again, missed again, one more time, the skeleton missed him, again. Eon shot a blast back, actually hitting Moneybones this time.

“Gah! Good tricks, old man..” The Skeleton smirked.

“Why thank you, fossil.” The elder portal master smiled, calmly forming another orb.

“My turn.” Moneybones ran up and tried to tackle him, failing as he dodged, again. Eon grabbed the count and threw him against the rock wall.

“You’re not as skilled as you would like to think, Moneybo-“ Eon couldn’t finish before getting blasted by the skeleton and falling on his side, groaning in pain as the count slowly got up.

“Sorry, what were you saying about being skilled?” Moneybones smirked. “I couldn’t hear you over your groans.” He walked to the portal master slowly.

Eon blasted Moneybones right in the face, nearly blinding his left eye while the count screamed in pain.

“My eye! You’ve temporarily blinded me in my left eye!” The skeleton exclaimed, hand covering his eye.

“Please, that eye’s blind forever.” The elder man muttered, smiling before Moneybones growled and stabbed the portal master with a dagger, getting a pained yelp from him.

“Good thing he only said to bring you alive and not unharmed.” The count smiled once again, showing more malicious intent than before hand.

“Eon!” Spyro yelled, landing at the scene of with a horrified expression.

“Oh, by the evil ancients, do you ever stop interrupting important evil matters you overgrown winged gecko!?” Moneybones yelled, sending a blast to Spyro and who dodged it immediately.

“Work on your insults, you bootleg skeletor!” The dragon shot his fire breath at the skeleton, who shielded himself from the flame.

Sagittarius finally got there (slow ass), watching the battle between Moneybones And Spyro, then noticing the wounded portal master at the side.

“Eon!” She shouted, running to him in fear and lifting him off his back, feeling the blood through his robe. “Hang on, I got this.” She assured the elder portal master, pulling out the dagger then placing her hand over the wound as green aura started to heal the bleeding area.

With the others

After what felt like forever, the bone chompys and zombie trolls retreated to the underworld as Cali twisted off the last robot soldiers arm and squeezed its own head off with it.

“Boom!” Flynn shouted in victory, Glace returning to her bunny form next to him. “That was an awesome sauce battle, guys. Lots of bloodshed, lots of gears, lots of.. whatever bone chompys are made out of.” He shrugged.

“The important thing is that we all sent the rest of Moneybones evil army back to where they came from.” Jet Vac commented, watching the coffin portal slowly return to the ground. “But there’s still a problem we’re gonna have to deal with.”

“So Munchy bones is still here then?” The pilot raised a brow with some slight concern.

“More than likely.” The eagle nodded.

Mags ran to the group hurriedly, stopping right where stealth elf was.

“Have any of you seen where Sage went?” The inventor started catching her breath.

“I think she went with Spyro to take down Moneybones.” The elf answered, to which the purple humanoids eyes widened.

“So they decided to take down the big bad without us?” Lex rolled his eyes.

“That’s not what’s important Lex, we don’t know where they are or even if they need help.” Cali commented before a huge boom from pretty far grabbed the attention of the group.

“I think we found them.” Carmen replied.

Back at the battle

Spyro kept dodging Moneybones blasts, doing his best to wear down the evil count and distract him at least long enough for Eon to recover.

“I’ve had enough of your nonsense!” The skeleton yelled, grabbing the dragon and throwing him to the ground.

Spyro winced in pain, aiming his fire breath at the count, burning the same left eye and making him scream in pain again.

“My eye again! Why the fuck is everyone aiming for my eye!?” Moneybones groaned, covering his eye once again before stomping on Spyros rib cage, getting a pained yell from the dragon. “I’ve had enough of you, tiny dragon..” he snared, grabbing yet another dagger, except this time he wasn’t just going to wound him.

Sagittarius moved her hand from the finally healed wound, helping Eon up from the ground and they both gasped at the situation before them.

“See you in hell, Spyro.” The count raised the dagger.. then immediately got stopped by what looked like green vines wrapping around his bones, tying him up.

“What is this!?” Moneybones struggled, trying to get out of the plants tight grasp. “What in all that is evil is this shit!?”

“Grape vines, they’re actually pretty useful during combat.” Sagittarius smirked, green aura showing around her hands.

“And I’m actually surprised she didn’t use them when trying to fight me.” Eon nodded.

“Well, you said they were the only thing I couldn’t use on you.” The younger portal master raised a brow, smiling playfully while the elder one rolled his eyes and blasted the skeletons chest plate, breaking a part of it off with the traptanium piece still in said part.

Moneybones gasped as he realized he lost the ability to one up Eon now, feeling the dark magic slip away as the dark purple aura light.. stuff left him as well.

“Help Spyro, I’ll deal with him..” Eon looked at Sagittarius, who nodded, stopped holding the count with the vines and ran over to the injured dragon.

“Ah, shit.” The count muttered.

While Eon beat the ever living hell out of Moneybones, Sagittarius held Spyro as she placed her hands on the broken rib cage, green aura healing it.

“Thanks for the distraction.” She commented. “Sorry I took so long though.”

“It’s all fine, I guess.” The dragon groaned.

Eon blasted Moneybones one final time, defeating him. “Tell your ‘lord’ he’s going to have to come here personally if he wants to see me so bad.”

The count growled, unhappy with his defeat. “He will only cause more destruction than me, you know that..” he snared, grabbing onto a gold clock and teleport to who knows where.

Eon furrowed his eyebrows, turning to the dragon and younger portal master, who just finished healing him.

“Perhaps we should meet with the others.” He walked down to the street, hands behind his back as the two followed him.

Before they were halfway down, Mags, Cali, and Stealth elf ran up to them, seeing if everything was alright.

“Glad to see you guys are okay!” Mags shouted giving a thumbs up to the three while Sagittarius gave one back.

Mod notes: if my hand would stop that weird cramp thing that would be great yay thanks

Heroes are made: part 8

TRIGGER WARNINGS

This part contains: Blood, gore, violence, and death. (I’d put swearing here but at this point it’s just expected that somebody will swear lmao)

“And of course another villain attack happens today! What joy!“ Jet Vac exclaimed with sarcasm as he shot nets at the robots, causing them to fall down tied up.

“Pop, Eruptor, grab the locals and get them out of the crossfire!“ Jet Vac ordered, to which the gremlin fuzzball and the rock creature nodded and ran to help the innocent people.

“Fire the canons!“ Buzz yelled, shooting the robot soldiers repeatedly until their metal heads exploded.

The defense force fired, canon balls shooting the mechanical army over and over, taking down one by one, but they just kept coming..

One of them tried attacking Carmen by smashing its fists into him, failing as the smildon dodged the fists while Cali climbed up as fast as she could, grabbing this bolt buckets head and twisting it off with what looked like no effort, jumping off the robot as it fell to the ground.

“Huh. New house decoration.“ The adventurer smiled while Carmen stared at the headless robot.

Flynn threw a grenade at the robots headed towards them, scattering robotic parts everywhere. “Is that the best you got, Monkey bones?“ the pilot exclaimed.

Moneybones smiled as bone chompys and zombie trolls rose from the ground and attacked.

“..I guess that's a no.“ Flynn mumbled, tossing a grenade at the bone chompys, turning around and gasping once he realized..

“Glace!“ he shouted, running to the her while witnessing the bunny get surrounded by the robots.

Glace shifted into an ice dragon almost immediately, freezing the robots and flying out of their way, making them collapse into frozen pieces of metal as she continued to freeze the chompys attemping to attack.

Flynn sighed heavy in relief.. Before Lex got thrown into him like a baseball, making him fall.

“Ah, shit!“ The emo grunted, slowly getting up and helped the pilot up from the ground. “You alright, dude?“

“Yeah, yeah, I'm all good. ’matter fact, I'm better than good.“ Flynn smiled before turning his head and noticing a horde of zombie trolls coming their way. “Hey, by any chance, do you have a chainsaw on you?“

“No. But I do have a flamethrower.“ Lex pulled a flamethrower from the inside of his jacket, smiling like a kid who found candy.

“..How did you fit that-“

“You just asked me if I had a chainsaw, and you're questioning how I fit a flamethrower in here?“ the emo raised a brow.

“.. Yeah, okay.“ The pilot pulled out another grenade from his pocket, pulling the clip off and throwing it at the troll horde while Lex just ran and started burning the trolls while smiling menacingly.

Everest and Hugo were cornered near a building by the zombie trolls accompanied by bone chompys, making the two back up until they hit the wall.

“Dammit!” Everest muttered, holding Hugo’s hand tightly as he saw these things close in on them. “Hey, I know it’s probably a bad time, but how you do feel about romcoms?”

“Yeah, this is actually a really bad time.” Hugo nodded nervously.

“Okay. Um.” The binturong wrapped his tail around his leg. “Sorry, I’m not great with this about to die thing, it’s happened before, just not like this.”

“No, it’s fine- I’m sorry, what?” The mabu almost forgot about the fact that they’re gonna get killed.

Mags ran up to one of the unused machine guns and started shooting the evil horde that cornered the homosexuals, blood spilling from the wounds from the trolls and the chompys just poofed into dust as they got shot.

“You fellas alright now!?” She shouted to the two, getting a thumbs up from Everest.

Stealth Elf threw her blades at the zombie trolls around her, slicing them into pieces, grabbing their heads and breaking their necks then aggressivly snapping their arms.

Buzz kept shooting at the evil army left and right, up until he ran out of ammo. “Gah! Son of a bitch!” He grunted, pulling out a grenade and throwing it, blowing up the chompys and trolls attempting to attack him. “Booyah!” He shouted, throwing his fist in victory.

Eruptor and Pop Fizz were leading the local people away from the battle, noticing a mabu family getting cornered by the robot soldiers

“I’ll get the family, you take these guys out of here!” Pop yelled, running to the scared family.

“If you say so!” Eruptor yelled back, shooting fire balls at the trolls attempting to attack.

The gremlin fuzzball threw potions at the robots as he ran, drinking one and transforming into a stronger form, clawing up the robots once he got there.

“How’s that for size!?” He yelled, chewing off the head of one of the robots and spitting it out. Once he was done and transformed to his normal self, he looked at the frightened mabu family.

“Alright, we gotta get you guys with the others.” He smiled like a goober.

Cali ran with Carmen by her side, stabbing whatever tried to attack the two.

“How’s it going on your side?” The mabu yelled, slitting a trolls throat.

“I’m not dead, so I guess that’s something?” The smilodon answered, throwing blades at the chompys.

Other Skylanders fought hard and rough in the battle (I am NOT writing every single Skylander individually in this scene you can NOT make me)

Spyro breathed his fire at the army, clearing his way to get to Moneybones as he ran and attempted to tackle him, but Moneybones teleported right behind Spyro, who turned around in a defensive stance.

“My lord will not be pleased with the wait.” the skeleton rolled his eyes before getting blasted by some green aura and falling down.

“Your ‘lord’ can piss off, we’re not giving you what you want.” Sagittarius snared, readying up another aura blast as Moneybones got up.

“Stupid girl, you think I expect you to hand him to me?” He laughed. “What fool do you take me for?”

“A pretty big one, actually.” Spyro replied, smiling even more smugly than Flynn. Somehow.

“Oh please, my lord just wants to have a chat with your master.” Moneybones smiled. “In fact, he’s dying to see him!” The count cackled as he teleported once again, this time all the way to where Eon was.

Spyro looked at Sagittarius, both sharing confused and concerned looks.

Darkness bleeds: Part 3

Probably the part with the most angst and edgyness

In the waiting room

“You'd think maybe they'd have better magazines.“ Buzz grumbled, looking at the pile on the table while Jet Vac stood next to him, looking a bit annoyed.

“.. Buzz, those aren't the important thing right now.“ Jet Vac commented.

“Well, then why don't we look for Stry-“

The eagle quickly shushed the old mabu, getting a grunt from him. You're not supposed to say that name!“

“Oh, like he's gonna show up and kill us all right now?“ Buzz cockliy replied. “Just saying, we'd be better of tryna find him and his cult group instead of sitting here doing nothing!“

“We don't know where he is! And even if we did, the one pilot we have is injured and our supercharger vehicles more than likely wouldn't get us there!“ Jet vac nearly yelled, straightening his stance and exhaling. “I'm going to go see how Eon’s doing.“ he mumbled, walking away as Buzz just rolled his eyes before glancing at the mabu and dohi next to him.

Lex bounced his leg up and down, a mix of nervous and pissed. Nervous about how well Flynn was gonna be, and pissed at Carmen (Okay, PETTY.) while Glace figeted with her fingers, a little more nervwrecked after that whole situation.

Carmen just walked into the room. They must be done checking on Cali.

“Hey, Car. She holding up okay?“ Buzz asked.

“She's still a little dizzy, but other than that she's doing okay.“ He answered.

“Wouldn't have been in this mess if you stayed to help.“ Lex murmered.

“Whatcha say?“ the silodon questioned, only hearing half of what the mabu said.

“I said this shit wouldn't have happened if you stayed to help!“ He repeated himself, not much louder, getting a look from Glace that basically said ’dude, what the hell.’

Carmen sighed, slightly aggravated with the emo’s comment. “Seriously?”

“Yeah, seriously!” Lex quickly got up from the chair. “You fucking left them to deal with some cult freaks and look what happened!”

“Cali told me to get help!” They snapped back.

“Oh, so you just do whatever your girlfriend tells you then?” He crossed his arms.

“She’s not my girlfriend!” Carmen snared. “And it’s not like you helped either.”

“I was fucking frozen!” Lex gestured to Glace, getting an aggravated reaction from the dohi as well. And as she got ready to speak-

“You probably deserved it!” They pointed at the mabu, unaware that he just basically inturrupted her.

“And you still left them!” He moved her hand away, while Glace just groaned before she threw her hands in the air, frustrated, getting up from her chair and walking off.

“You have some nerve, kid-“

“Oh, I have some nerve?!“ He inturrupted them, getting the smilodon to grumble.

“Yeah, you have some nerve! You think I wanted to leave them to deal with those guys?“

“You sure like doing whatever Cali tells you to!“

Buzz just watched from the side as the two argued back and forth, getting tired of their nonsense. “Alright, alright, you two cut it out. We can deal with this later.“

“Oh, shut it, old man!“ Carmen exclaimed.

“Don't yell at him, you dickhat!“

“I'm not yelling at him, I'm yelling at you!“

“Look Car, it's not my fucking fault your brother is de-“

Carmen punched Lex in the stomach before he could finished that sentance. I mean, he kinda deserved it. Buzz winced a bit with a ’oooo’ in a somewhat sympathetic manner. The smilodon was even more angry now..

“Don’t.. you dare mention him like that.“ He bared his teeth, feeling his eyes water up a bit.

Lex growled before tackling her to the ground, punching back at them in the face, more than once. Buzz practically darted up from his chair to pull him off.

“That is enough!“ he yelled, yanking on the emo’s jacket, pulling him away from the smilodon as they got up. “We don't need more of us injured! Understand?“

“But Buzz-“

“No ’buts’ boy!“ The old mabu commander pointed his crutch at Lex before pulling it back and sighing. “I’ll go get Glace. She's been waiting to check up on Flynn.“ he grumbled, walking off to get the dohi.

Lex looked at Carmen who just growled slightly, still feeling teary eyed. The emo was.. Surprised that his words made that impact. (DUDE YOU BROUGHT UP THEIR DEAD BROTHER THE FUCK WERE YOU EXPECTING TO HAPPEN-) He reached his paw to them, retracting it as the smilodon backed up.

“I’ve been trying to get over what happened to him, and you just bring it up like its nothing?” They tried his best to hold back the tears.

“Carmen, I didn't think-“ the emo stopped himself, not having the guts to apologize. “I'm.. gonna go check on Flynn real quick.“ he mumbled, walking away while looking at the smilodon with some guilt.

Carmen wiped her eyes, taking deep and slow breaths, trying to calm down. The incident.. Had quite the impact on them. They were close with their brother before it happened and.. Well, you know what happened. At least Cali was willing to stay by their side no matter what.

Mod notes: Okay, i think we can all agree what Lex said was NOT necessary. We can understand he's a kid and he's gonna do dumb shit, but we can also unserstand it was still uncalled for and Carmen lowkey had every right to be upset dude. Anyways, BYE-
