Skylanders: Second Leaf

Chapter 22 ~ True Friendship

"Carry on!" Buzz smiled as he turned towards the door. He motioned for the two Skylanders he had brought with him to follow him out.

Grilla Drilla grabbed Kaos, holding the Dark Portal Master's arms to his sides tightly. Leaving no room for Kaos to even attempt to escape. His beefy fingers almost able to wrap around Kaos' chest. Then headed for the door. The class stared in shock as Buzz and Grilla Drilla, holding the limp, incapacitated body of Kaos... upside down now for some reason; exited the room and closed the door behind them respectfully. A few seconds after, the casual chatter and constant whispering they had been doing before the entire incident. As if it had never happened. Everyone seemed to have resumed the regular schedule. Everyone... accept Flarius.

"Hey, hey, hey! You cannot just take my student like that, you animals!" Flarius ran out of the classroom like a speeding bullet, flames trailing behind him. "GIVE HIM BACK! HE'S MY STUDENT!"

Flarius ran after Buzz and the Skylander, his feet barely grazing the ground. Flickering tendrils of red-hot flames snaking up from the ground he tread on. When Flarius had caught up to them, he came to a screeching halt before Buzz and made a grab for Kaos. Before he could be successful at his attempt though, Buzz swung his cane towards Flarius, pointing the end of it at the elf's throat.

"I know you love your students," The ninja commando mabu sighed, rolling his good eye slightly, "and I wouldn't take one away without a good reason. Don't worry. Kaos'll get his lesson one way or another. A video recording or something might be nice. Worked for me."

Kaos moaned in an agonized tone. He felt as if his skull had been caved in from the impact of the Skylander's fist to his face. Kaos' vision finally starting to slowly defog as his eyes fluttered open. The world seemed to be smudged together. Colors blending into nothing but murk and muck that no color should be able to become. As the blur cleared, Kaos started making out faint outlines and shapes... standing on the ceiling?! No... he was hanging upside down. Painfully, Kaos tilted his head so that he could get a better look at his captor holding him. The picture his broken mind was receiving was still blurry as heck, but it was slowly starting to clear. As it faded together into an actual, discernible image, the confusion and shock of the entire situation finally settling onto him like a bag full of cinderblocks. He let his head fall back into place, blinked a few times, then yelled at the top of his lungs. Making everyone jump.

"WHAAT!? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS, FOOLS! I DEMAND AN ANSWER! NOOOW!"

In the sudden confusion, Flarius took action. He lunged at Buzz out of rage, tackling him to the ground and snatching Kaos from the confused Grilla Drilla. The life Skylander may have been powerful, but his brain was no bigger than a spec of dust. Flarius ran as fast as he could back into the classroom, locking the door behind him and sighing in relief. A panicked look still on his face as he glanced around the classroom. All the students had fallen silent at his arrival, staring at him with shocked expressions.

"Uh, nothing to worry about, trainees. Just a small misunderstanding. Now, back to the lesson." Flarius smiled sheepishly.

Flarius walked back to his own desk and laid Kaos down underneath it. Blocking him from view of anyone that wasn't on his side. Kaos glanced around the underside of the desk, then not realizing where he had been taken, tried to sit up. His head slammed into the bottom of the desk's surface and Kaos fell back onto the ground. His head had still been aching like heck, but now the bone shattering pain had been renewed like an overdue library book. Fed up with this, Kaos attempted to get out from under the cold, metal desk, but Flarius knelt down next to Kaos and put his hand on Kaos' chest. Applying just enough force to keep Kaos down.

"Calm down, Kaos. There was just a little... misunderstanding with your motives at this school. Although, I'm sure the men had good reasoning to back their choices up, I choose to believe you have good motives. Am I correct?" Flarius asked quietly as the class continued to chat amongst themselves about what they believed to have happened out in the hall.
