"Who woulda thunk that I coulda been possessed by my own mist self!" Mags exclaims. "Anywho, guess it all turned out just peachy in the end. And I got this here key for us!"
"Yes, that's what matters." The Brain says.
"And that you're safe, Mags," Cali quickly adds with a glare directed towards the Ancient.
Brain rolls his one eye. "Yes, of course." He holds up the rift key. "One of the oldest powers in all of Skylands is just as important as our dear friend Mags' life."
"Aw, that ought ta be one of the nicest things I ever heard." Mags gushes. "Yer just as important as that there key too, Mr. Brain."
"Thank you," Brain replies tersely. "Now with this key, all that we are missing is our Dark Portal Master. One, that unfortunately, will have to be Kaos. We'll have to appeal to his vain nature and convince him that the King of Chaos and Darkness are threats to him. That we are his only hope."
"Are you sure that will work?" Cali asks.
"It'd work on me." Flynn cuts in.
"It's our best hope." The Brain continues. "But that is hardly the biggest problem, first we need to find him."
"I might be able to help with that," Mags interjects. "My mind is still a lil' fuzzy 'bout everythin' but I think I remember somethin' the other me said back there about Kaos bein' trapped in the Lowlands."
"The Lowlands?" Brain asks confused. "What could he have done to get himself trapped in the Lowlands?"
"She made it sound like the darkness had trapped him there."
"Hmm," Buzz hums. "That might actually be perfect for us. If the Darkness has already turned on Kaos, then he's likely itchin' to get revenge against them, same as us. Not to mention that savin' him from the eternal pits of Skylands should put him in our debt."
"Very true," the Brain agrees. "That just leaves one question: is it worth traveling down into the dark depths of Skylands just to save Kaos?"
Cali steps forward. "If it's our only chance at defeating the Darkness, then absolutely."
Flynn steps up beside her. "I'm not much a fan of the dark, but this seems like destiny calling for the greatest captain in all of Skylands. And Cap'n Flynn never hangs up on destiny."
"Then it's settled." Cali agrees. "We're going to the Lowlands"
*******
The Dreadyacht soars through a void of darkness. Every light on the ship is turned on and pointed into the abyss. Occasionally, islands can be spotted passing close by as they continue further down.
Buzz and Cali stand at the stern of the ship looking out.
"How much further until we're there?" Flynn calls from the cockpit.
Cali looks down at the little device in front of her. "The heat signatures are only a little bit further down! We should be seeing them soon!"
Out of the darkness suddenly appears a great lighthouse tower. Flynn panics and quickly spins the wheel, avoiding it narrowly, and sailing out over darkened island.
"Wow!" Cali gasps. "It's an entire city below us!" The camera shows a bunch of shadows of houses and a great cathedral below them.
Flynn has to turn quickly again to avoid crashing. He swings them back around and sets them down in a safe spot on the island.
The three of them exit the ship.
"Alright, Skylander. The heat signatures are coming from the capital building out there..." She pauses as she realizes it's only darkness that can be seen. "Out there somewhere, we should be able to find it."
She reaches into her pack and pulls out a couple of orbs. "These are glowbulbs, Skylander." She shakes them and they activate, soaring up above hers and the Skylanders heads. "They don't provide too much light, but just enough that we should be able to find our way through this darkness."
"And if that's not enough," Buzz adds. "Me and Flynn will be circling around up above to give a little light here and there. Hopefully that should allow you to find Kaos."
"And do it quick!" Flynn calls from the ship. "This place creeps me out. I swear I just saw a shadow move out there!"
"He's right, Skylander." Cali says. "I don't think the Darkness is the type to leave their prisoners unguarded. So be ready!"
