Y/n: What does 'take out' mean?
Spyro: Food.
Elf: Dating
Eruptor: Murder
Pop: IT CAN MEAN ALL THREE IF YOU'RE NOT A COWARD.

Eon: I've gathered you for a mission of the utmost importance, so vital, that the future of the Academy relies on nothing short of absolute success.
Eruptor: I hope it's Arkeyan robots, I hate those things!
Spyro: Nah, throw elves.
Eruptor: Robots!
Spyro: Throw elves!
Eruptor: Robots!
Hugo: Sheep!
Stealth Elf: Well I hope it's Kaos, I still have frost in my ears from when he tried to Freeze us!
Y/n: I just hope the Chaos Emeralds aren't involved.
Eon: No Skylanders, this time your foe is different, but no less formidable. It is, the basement pipes! They are being attacked by a vicious clog of beard hair, not mine, of course.
Spyro: Uh, we're unclogging pipes?
Y/n: You know, it could be A lot worse.
Eon: Yes, before they explode and the basement is fraught with minor flooding, resulting in a dastardly plumbing bill!
Y/n: Does...the Academy not make that much money? Wait who IS funding the Academy, Skylands doesn't really have any form of government to pay for the Academy.
Eon: It's best not to question, Y/n. Now, what are you waiting for? Hurry Skylanders!
Jet Vac: You heard the man, on your feet, people! We've got plumbing to do! Hmm, Plum-bing? Is that right? I know there's A "B" in there, anyway, go! Go! Go!
The team made their way towards the basement, Spyro lagging behind.
Jet Vac: What's the matter, Spyro, too good to clean some pipes?
Spyro: What? No no no, I'm not too good to clean, it's just that after battling Kaos and all the other threats that threaten the skylands, this kind of mission seems A little... basic?
Jet Vac: Well being A Skylander doesn't just mean fighting bad guys every second of every day. We provide many essential services to Skylands, great and small, and sometimes that means money-saving plumbing missions. That still sounds weird.
Spyro: Probably because it's A soft B, Jet Vac, it's plumbing you don't say the B, it's not crumB it's crumb, it's fine I get your point.
Jet Vac: You better get it because it's high time you learned to do things the Skylander way.
Spyro: So, is this the Skylander way? Huh? Also, did you have a mouse for breakfast? Do you have any idea how pungent those things are? They, they smell worse on the way out, by the way.
Jet Vac: Move!
Spyro ran to the rest of the team, who were already in the basement looking at the pipe.

*The Basement Pipes*

Jet Vac: Okay what we have here is A category eight clog, haven't seen one of these until the great back hair crisis of '06, if this thing blows all the academy's plumbing will be disabled for hours, maybe even a whole day.
Pop Fizz: NOOOO! Not a whole day!
Jet Vac: I know, Pop, it's the stuff of nightmares! We need a meticulous approach, Team, a foolproof plan of attack!
Eruptor: Oh, awesome, so what is it, Jet Vac?
Jet Vac: I'll tell you, as soon as I think of it.
Spyro: Uh, JV, all due respect but I don't think we have much time to think this through.
Jet Vac: As opposed to what? Acting first then the chips fall where they may. Skylanders do not fly off all willy-nilly and either will you. You do things the right way now. The Skylander way.
Spyro: But that pipe is about to unleash A high-knee nightmare for anyone who can't fly, that's all of you, well, I guess like, calf-high for Y/n, but regardless we need to act fast!
Jet Vac: We'll act fast when we have a proper plan in place! Which I'd have already if you weren't interrupting me!
Stealth Elf: Guys? This is about to get ugly.
Eruptor: Oh you ain't kidding, that pipe's ready to blow!
The pressure meter on the pipe was going haywire, spinning like A compass in the nether.
Pop Fizz: I can make some sort of potion that would dissolve the clog!
Spyro: There's no time, one of us with fire breath ideally could fly to the end of the pipe, open it and blast fire down it to incinerate the clog... right! I should do it!
Jet Vac: So if I suction one end of the pipe...
Stealth Elf: How do you think Spyro's doing?
Spyro: You shall not pass!
She shoots a fireball at the clog, destroying it.
Jet Vac: Elf could then insert her swords, the ends of which tipped with a disappearing potion from pop...
Pipes: Inconvenience averted.
Jet Vac: The clog worked itself out! It would appear that would've been a good plan.
Spyro: Actually I took care of it Jet Vac, nothing a ball of fire couldn't handle.
Jet Vac: You acted alone?! I told you we needed a plan!
Spyro: We did, my plan! Which I thought of while considering your plans which I'm sure would've worked too.
Y/n: Plus, if we waited any longer, the pipe would've burst! We had many options but Spyro acted first and got the job done, I could've Cylooped it, Eruptor also could've used fire, I'm sure Stealth Elf is smart enough to come up with something, and Pop Fizz...well he would probably just try to blow it up.
Spyro: So! Crisis averted before 11! Brunch anyone?
Y/n: Only if there's Chili Dogs.
The group left the sewers and went for Brunch.
