Skylanders: Shrink Squad

Ch. 8 Introduction

Tessa, Avril, and Sharpfin walk up to Flynn, Cali, and Mags following the battle of Woodburrow. Tessa is holding the book that the King of Chaos had dropped back in the Great Hollow.

She hands it over to Cali and says, "Thank you all for your help. Without you and the Skylander here, Woodburrow would have been Greeble grub!"

"Oh it's nothing!" Cali says. "We're just trying our best to help."

"And if that makes us heroes, then so be it." Flynn added. "We will happily carry that burden upon our heroic shoulders."

Tessa laughs. "Either way, thank you. I wish I could join you on the hunt for this mad wolf, but..." she gestures to the terrorized Woodburrow. "I need to make sure everything is okay here, first."

"Aye," Avril chirps in. "This place do be in a bit of a need for repairs now. Me and the frost elves can help get it back to its former glory in no time! We can even fortify it to be stronger than before, that way that wild dogboy will think twice before attackin' here again!"

"I like the sound of that!" Tessa exclaims.

"Yeah, and you can keep those there anti-mist blasters to help." Mags says. "I can always whip up a few more back at the academy if necessary."

"Then it sounds like a plan." Cali affirmed. She held the book up in front of her. "We'll have to take a look at this here book and see what insight it gives into the King of Chaos. In the mean time, we should get back to the Academy and see if Buzz has remembered the map to Atheneum yet."

"You mind if I tag along with you?" Sharpfin asked. "I wouldn't mind getting a few licks in on this fleabag. Chaos is bad for business, you know. I'm also a little bitter 'bout him destroying my ship."

"Sure, why not." Flynn says. "From one captain to another, there's nothing more heinous than wrecking one's ship. I can only imagine the pain you must be feeling right now."

"Right, well it's not that bad." Sharpfin said in a sharp tone. "I'm more disappointed from a financial perspective, not so much a sentimental one."

"Everyone grieves in their own way." Flynn nodded in agreement.

"This is remarkable," the Brain muttered as he pored over the King of Chaos's book. "According to this, our new chaos friend found an ancient text on summoning a being of mist out of evilized crystals."

"So it is like that little twerp, Kaos's plan that he used a few years back?" Flynn clarified.

"Not exactly, no." The Brain amended. "It's much more powerful it seems. Whereas you could actually fight off the evilized infection then, it's a much different story now."

Cali nodded. "He's right, we can't just use brute force on something like the mist."

"So what? We make a giant fan?" Flynn asked.

"I can get started on that right away!" Mags exclaimed in excitement. "I'll hook up some disco lights to it too to make it more fun!"

"That won't be necessary, Mags." The brain swiftly interjected. "According to this, all we really need is the Grail of Light."

"The Grail of Light?" Sharpfin asked. "Isn't that the supposed hidden treasure in the Temple of the Sun?"

"Indeed, it is." The Brain replied.

"Oh, that should be a piece of cake to get!" Flynn boasted. "I'm not just the greatest pilot in all of Skylands, I'm the greatest adventurer too. You know, I was the one who found the legendary Trolly Grail. I know, impressive! I get that a lot... I have told this story before, right?"
