Truth or Dare

The mabu was feral. Like a wild animal it scratched and jumped around the room it was caged in. Through all that, the haunting black eyes remained the most terrifying feature. Spyro, Stealth Elf and a few other Skylanders stood in front of the imprisoned creature and stared at it with shock and horror.

“This is… disturbing.” Stealth Elf shook her head. She couldn’t keep her eyes off the mabu, no matter how horrible it was to look at. “How could this happen?”

“I have no clue.” Even though Spyro was able to finish his spa day, he had to endure a sleepless night thinking of all the lingering evils out there, and this was one of them. Everyone wondered what the cause could be, but Spyro’s choice was quickly made. “But if I had to guess, I would say this was-”

“Malefor.” Cynder finished Spyro’s sentence. “This is undead magic, I can feel it in my bones.” The dragoness shuddered after being reminded of the time when she was just like this corrupted mabu - nothing but a mindless beast.

“It adds up. Golden Queen can turn people into gold, not monsters.” Smolderdash’s look was as certain as it was concerned. She could only think about what could happen to Sprocket with enemies like these out there.

“And we’ve never seen anyone do anything like… this.” The mabu slammed its small body against the glass window while the Skylanders were conversing. “Malefor is one of the most powerful beings in Skylands, it wouldn’t surprise me if he was possessed this kind of power.” Spitfire backed off when a small claw dug into the door and moved downwards with a long, ear-piercing sound.

“If Malefor really did do this, that can only mean one thing…” Spyro’s suggestion caused the group to go silent and for everyone to take their best bets.

“He could never, you know Hex.” Cynder didn’t want to believe that Malefor was able to escape from the one person who defeated and trapped him. “He must have done something, but she couldn’t be…”

“If he did kill her, we need to find another way to restrain him this instant!” Stealth Elf already began looking for anything useful inside the isolated room of the Academy.

Cynder on the other hand was speechless. The elf glossed over Hex’ potential death as if it didn’t matter, regardless of the urgency. “We need to find out what happened first. Malefor is cunning, a strategist. He wouldn’t just corrupt people and disappear afterwards.”

“It doesn’t matter what happened, all that matters is that we find a way to stop him!” Stealth Elf raised her voice at the insulted dragoness. The two arched their eyebrows and gave each other threatening looks as they were about to open their mouths again.

“Guys! This is not the time!” Spyro interrupted the argument, causing his closest friends to move further away from each other. “Malefor is out there, that’s only possible through Hex. He’s alive because of her powers, so he couldn’t have killed her without perishing himself.”

A reasonable argument that eased Cynder’s mind, unlike Stealth Elf’s.

“We can’t defeat him. If Hex isn’t able to restrain him either we have to find another way to do it.” Spyro focused and thought of possibilities to trap the dragon, but knowing him, he would always find a back door, that’s what he did with Hex as well.

“Some Skylanders are already out on missions, we need to warn them before anything else.” Spitfire reminded the leader of the things he’s missed during his free day and wanted to protect the Skylanders just like him.

“You’re right. Smolderdash, Stealth Elf, deliver the news of Malefor’s escape. Cynder, Spitfire, try contacting the absent Skylanders about it.” Stricter than ever before, Spyro fulfilled his leader role by immediately dishing out orders.

His allies nodded and parted their ways, with Cynder and Stealth Elf leaving only after another angered look at each other. Spyro turned around to see the mabu one last time. This is exactly what he was afraid of. The reason why he couldn’t take a day off, there was always someone out to get them.

In order to prevent further villainy, Tidepool, Boom Bloom, Buckshot and Wild Storm were facing a feisty fight during their mission at Scholarville. The Senseis have been here before, looking for the Helm of Ultimate Wisdom, where they were already confronted by the local enemies, only this time there were far more of them.

Tidepool and Wild Storm remained to avoid any contact, which their friends found ridiculous at this point. Nevertheless, they did watch out for each other and fought the enemies as always, even though they kept their distance. While Buckshot and Tidepool eliminated the approaching warships with magical portals and powerful whales, Boom Bloom and Wild Storm took the smaller enemies on. Surprisingly, the ninja and knight were a perfectly harmonized team, jumping over each other and timing their attacks into impressive combos. After the monsters were defeated, the silent heroes nodded at each other rather than smile, since neither of them had a visible mouth.

The female Skylanders reunited and Boom Bloom immediately noticed that something was off, and she already had an idea what it was. “Don’t tell me you two will continue to give each other the silent treatment.”

Tidepool rolled her eyes, which was hard to see due to her lacking pupils. “I told you Bloom, there’s a time and place.”

“This is the time and place, Tide!” Boom Bloom usually sounded calm and collected around anyone other than Krankcase, but for the first time she was upset with one of her friends. “We’re all on this mission together! Not talking could jeopardize it and put both of you in danger!”

“It’s not like I will stay quiet when there’s an enemy about to stab him from behind!” Tidepool turned around to follow the others who were heading further into town. “I couldn’t live with myself if I did.” The Quickshot silently said to herself.

As the Senseis were strolling across the brick road and passed the suburban houses, Buckshot suddenly grew anxious. His fur rose and he was struck by a feeling of unease.

“Are you feeling kinda… creeped out?” The faun asked his silent companion. “I mean, the helm is gone and the people released the sea monster into the sea, but something feels… off.”

“I don’t know what you mean.” Wild Storm looked over to a mabu standing in the corner of an alley, covered by shadows. “Everyone’s outside, no one is panicking, there’s nothing to worry about.”

The girls passed the lonely mabu as well after a brief look, not giving it a second thought.

“The inhabitants are very knowledgeable, they might be able to tell us where Golden Queen could be. Her family used to own many desert islands, so she must have gone to one of those.” Wild Storm informed himself about the goldling and her heritage, hoping it would help with the search.

“Yeah, I guess you’re right.” Even though Buckshot trusted his friend, after seeing another motionless mabu with its face turned away, he was certain that there was something wrong.

As the Senseis continued their journey, Buckshot was trying to figure out why all the inhabitants were acting so ominous, but the determination and hastiness of the others kept him from investigating the situation.

Across the connected islands and large vines spreading throughout the place, the Skylanders have finally reached the castle. There was no hint of anything suspicious, which was unfortunate since that’s exactly what they were looking for. “Alright team, we will take a short break here to plan our next steps.” Wild Storm stopped to inform his allies.

The heroes put their weapons aside and sat down in a circle. There was that awkward silence whenever Tidepool and Wild Storm were in each other’s presence, something both Boom Bloom and Buckshot have grown tired of. They moved closer to each other and started whispering so that the other two couldn’t hear.

“How long do you think will they keep this up?” Boom Bloom asked Buckshot, who’s always been a good friend of hers as well.

“Wild Storm could live the rest of his life silent.” Buckshot got to know the knight better after his separation from Tidepool, yet he remained very closed off and secretive. “And Tidepool used to be a spy, so I’m guessing she’s not any better.”

“She wants to talk again, but she doesn’t want to make the first move.” Boom Bloom was looking for ways to start a conversation between them, but by now she knew that every attempt would lead to them growing further apart. Then suddenly she thought of something that could make them talk. All of them in fact.

“Who’s in the mood to play a game?” Boom Bloom spoke up so that everyone could hear.

Buckshot, though perplexed, has been looking for an opportunity to take some tension off, so he happily agreed. “I am!”

“Boom Bloom, we’re on a mission!” Wild Storm cut through Buckshot’s enthusiasm and reminded them of their responsibilities. “We don’t have time for this.”

“We all know that all we will do is go into the castle behind us, look around and leave.” A sappy response from the mutant that Wild Storm couldn’t argue with.

The Knight Sensei looked over to Buckshot who gave him the expectant eyes, which he knew all too well. “Fine.” He groaned and leaned his head onto his hand.

All eyes turned to Tidepool who kept staring at the report card in her hand until Boom Bloom coughed to get her attention. “Oh. Yes, why not?”

The group listened eagerly, some more than others, as Boom Bloom was about to explain her spontanious game. “So, since we’re supposed to be a team, I thought we should play truth or dare.”

The group was silent. Tidepool and Wild Storm were anything but impressed by that idea, meanwhile Buckshot already thought of questions and dares to ask his companions.

“Who wants to go first?” Boom Bloom looked from one side to the other until she stopped at Wild Storm. “Wild?” Boom Bloom and Buckshot looked over to the knight, while Tidepool tried to avoid eye contact at any chance.

“Just to get this over with.” As unpleased as he was, Wild Storm agreed and started the game. “Truth.”

“Okay.” Boom Bloom tried to think of a suitable question. One that might even get Tidepool interested. “Tell us a secret that no one here knows of!”

“A secret…” The knight expected to have an answer right away, but thinking about it, there wasn’t much to choose from. He could tell them about how he’s been losing control over his beast form, but Tidepool already knew that. And he shouldn’t be thinking about that anyway, that’s what triggers it in the first place. So Wild Storm thought further, further back into his past. “I guess… I used to be a mercenary.”

“Everyone knows that Wild, try harder!” Boom Bloom looked over to Tidepool, hoping she would show some reaction, but the humanoid avoided looking into the knight’s direction.

“Ugh, I don’t know. I used to play with kites as a kid?” One of the few happy memories from his childhood. And even though he would never admit it, thinking about it made him slightly nostalgic.

Buckshot giggled before being caught by a sharp look from Wild Storm. Boom Bloom was happy to hear a genuine answer. “There! That’s better!” The ninja looked over to Tidepool once more, but she kept staring at the bricks underneath her. The Sensei sighed and continued. “Now Wild Storm asks Buckshot.”

“Dare!” Before Wild Storm could speak, the faun already announced his decision.”

“Fine.” Wild Storm had to come up with a task. He wanted his friend to do something challenging, since he’s been very lazy during their recent training sessions. After a few more seconds, he had the perfect idea. “Get to the top of the roof in less than five seconds!” He pointed to the roof of the castle behind them. The only way to get up the rather high building was by climbing the vines surrounding it, but five seconds was nearly impossible.

“No problem.” Without any doubts, the goat got up on his legs and jumped on the spot with a cocky smile, pretending to warm himself up. Wild Storm started to count down from three. When he yelled one, Buckshot quickly created a portal, jumped through it and appeared on top of the building. “Dare completed!”

While the faun was cackling, Wild Storm palmed his face. He forgot to mention that he wasn’t supposed to use his powers. “You win this one, but I won’t be as inattentive next time.”

Once Buckshot returned to his spot, he had to ask Boom Bloom. “Truth or Dare?”

“Hmm…” Boom Bloom wasn’t certain if she wanted to tell a secret or do something embarrassing, Buckshot had no mercy when it came to such things. “Dare.”

“I was hoping you’d say that.” Buckshot already had a smile on his face and didn’t hesitate to dare the plant mutant. “Do your Krankcase impression!”

Boom Bloom looked at Buckshot with disbelief. “I will not do that!”

“You have to, it’s the rules.” Buckshot’s smug smile made Boom Bloom shift her bewildered expression to an angry one.

The Life Ninja sighed before clearing her throat and taking a deep breath. “Boom Bloom! What did I tell you about rebelling against your creator? You are supposed to obey!” One of Boom Bloom’s skill not many knew about was the ability to distort her voice, so it sounded exactly like the mad scientist. Even the villain himself wasn’t sure why she could do that, but it was always very entertaining for Buckshot. Once the Magic Skylander stopped laughing due to his stomach hurting, Boom Bloom moved on with the game. “Your turn Tide.” The mutant thought of another question, one that could involve Wild Storm as well and finally break the silence. Ultimately, she decided to go with the same one as before. “What’s a secret of yours that no one here knows?”

“What?” Tidepool was confused. “I thought we could choose truth or dare?”

“Yes, but since we already had two dares and it’s four of us, you have to take truth.” Boom Bloom felt a little guilty for sealing her friend’s choice, but it was just a game after all. “It’s the rules.”

Tidepool looked up. Her eyes went from one member of the group to the other, until she saw him. She looked Wild Storm straight into the eyes, something she hasn’t done in a long time. Was this it? Would she finally confess the feelings she kept hidden for years? Even though she tried to forget them, whenever she looked into the knight’s glowing white eyes, she couldn’t deny the feelings. “I knew about the Aqua-Marines’ plans.”

“What?” Buckshot and Boom Bloom asked in sync.

Tidepool realized what she just said. She was so focused on not confessing her love for Wild Storm that she just revealed another secret. “No… I mean.” Tidepool didn’t know what to say. She had to give them an explanation, otherwise they would take it the wrong way. “I knew that they were planning to overthrow the Skylanders all along.”

There was silence. An unpleasant tension filled the air.

“I… I was going along with the plan.” Tidepool wasn’t proud of her past, but she wanted to clarify that it’s behind her now. “Until I met… you.” Even though she was addressing all of her allies, her eyes kept shifting more and more to Wild Storm.

“I have to go.” Tidepool got up and hurried away from the group without another word.

The others looked after the Quickshot, most of all Wild Storm, as she made her way back to the city. “Tide, wait!” Boom Bloom snapped out of her petrified stare and quickly ran after her friend.

Lost in thoughts, Tidepool pushed herself through the crowd of mabu that suddenly appeared in the center. “Why did I say that? I should’ve just admitted my feelings already!” She thought to herself with frustration.

“Tidepo-” As Boom Bloom was catching up to the Water Skylander, she saw the hoard of mabu, and what exactly was going. “Oh no.”

Tidepool remained unfazed and just continued walking, until she bumped into one of the creatures. She looked down to investigate the mabu’s face and what she saw caught her off guard. It had deep black eyes with no sign of emotions, or life in that case. It unleashed an eery screech before it jumped onto the Sensei.

“Tidepool!” Boom Bloom started running towards the ambush and used her whip to smack the creature off her friend. “Are you alright?” She fell onto her knees to get a good look at Tidepool, who, besides a few scratches on her arm, wasn’t injured.

“I’m fine. I can’t say the same for the citizens though.” The Skylanders looked behind themselves to see that all of the mabu possessed those terrifying black eyes.

Wild Storm and Buckshot soon appeared as well to check on the missing members. “Is everything alright?” Buckshot yelled across the center of the town.

“There’s something wrong with the people!” Boom Bloom answered. “They’re cursed!”

Buckshot was struck by a shiver when he saw the mabu as well. “I knew there was something wrong here.”

It was a quiet moment, seemingly frozen in time. Everyone stared at each other blankly without moving, until all the mabu went feral. They dashed towards the Skylanders with the intent to kill them. They started to fight, trying to keep the mabu away from them while also not hurting them, they were innocent people after all.

“We have to get back to the ship! Whatever’s going on here we can’t fix it now!” Wild Storm advised the group, to which everyone nodded and pushed themselves through the wild creatures to get back to the ship they arrived in.

On their way back, mabu launched themselves at them from left and right, which they could all dodge easily. However, Tidepool saw a bigger mabu on top of a house, eyeing Wild Storm as he was leading the group back. It was about to pounce the knight, and Tidepool was the only one who noticed. “Wild Storm watch out!”

The knight looked back at his ally before looking up and moving out of the way before the mabu could hit him. They proceeded their flight and he kept looking at Tidepool for a few more seconds after nodding in gratitude.

The Senseis entered their ship and turned the engine on. They flew away from Scholarville right before the mabu could latch onto them.

“What was that?” Buckshot asked with utter shock. “It’s like they were…”

“Monsters.” Boom Bloom finished. “It looks like there’s another enemy out there causing chaos as we speak.”

While Buckshot and Boom Bloom discussed their theories, Tidepool tried to contact the Academy and Wild Storm was steering the ship. In the same moment, both of them looked over to each other and their eyes met once again, only this time they didn’t turn away. They just kept staring at each other, almost like they wanted to say something. Suddenly a voice answered Tidepool’s device and she looked away to answer, while Wild Storm directed his sight back to the front.

Guilty, yet far away from the Skylanders’ troubles was the destructive duo of Hex and Malefor. After corrupting her first victims and unleashing Raven and Zion to hunt her prey, the witch moved on to spread her deadly powers across more villages and kingdoms of terrified creatures, all of them meeting the same fate.

Watching as loved ones turned against each other under her curse, Hex was levitating at the edge of the town she just ambushed. Malefor, always by her side, dwelled in the terror his nemesis was orchestrating. That wasn’t the case for Hex however, she just kept her usual neutral expression. “Aren’t you enjoying your work?” The dragon had yet to figure out why Hex was doing all this. “I thought the screams of those pitiful creatures would satisfy you.”

“I’m not you, Malefor.” Hex responded with an ice-cold tone. “They deserve this, but that doesn’t mean I enjoy it.”

“Then why are you doing it?” Malefor was skilled at looking through someone’s facade, but in his current position he couldn’t allow himself to make any false assumptions. “What is your plan? Cursing them until they’re all dead?”

“Of course not.” Hex kept her sight at all the people going up against each other. The ones who weren’t possessed were overwhelmed by their emotions and the incoming attacks, unable to choose between their own life or their loved ones. “This world has treated creatures like me and you exactly like this. Going after them blindly, not caring about who they are or what they’ve done. I want them to know what it’s like to become a monster. One way or another.”

Malefor didn’t expect the sorceress to be this spiteful towards the mortal world. Yet, it was what he was hoping for when she left the underworld as an undead. “And what about the Skylanders? They will find out about this eventually.”

“They should.” Hex responded. “They’re not any different, they shall meet the same fate as those before them.”

Clenching her fist, Hex showed a sign of anger for the first time since she left the underworld. Malefor used that opportunity. “So why don’t you destroy them right away?”

“It would be foolish to attack them now. Even the two of us can’t win against all of them.” Hex was aware of what the Skylanders were capable of, since she did spend many years with them and knew all their strategies. “They need to destroy each other, only then may we be rid of them.”

“And when they find out that you’ve turned against them?” Malefor already thought in advance. “They will find a way to stop you. To stop us.”

“They will, yes, but they won’t be able to do so if we play our cards right.” Hex has precisely figured her plan out and made sure that there were no flaws in it. “The only way to destroy you is to destroy me, which would go against their moral law. They know that my powers can be taken from me, so that is their only option to take both of us out.” Even though she always kept her distance, Hex has picked up and memorized the way things work with the Skylanders and is now using it against them. “All we have to do is occupy them with a greater threat. Compromise their forces and keep them from getting close to me, then we will prevail.” Malefor’s sinister smile was all the approval Hex needed. “And the Skylanders will fall.”
