Skylanders Quest For The Core

Ch 18 A matter of life

(Stealth elf's point of view)
When the team returned to the academy, the first thing Arbo did was plant the seeds. Spyro got a bucket, got some water from the core, and passed it to Stealth elf and Flameslinger, who gently poured some for the seedlings. "Are you sure this will work Arbo? We don't have time to wait for seeds to grow," Stealth elf said politely. "Don't worry, nature has given us a short cut," he replied, "Here boy!" Glurt ran up to the spot the seeds were planted and licked at the ground. His green slime acted as a fertilizer that helped the plants grow within mere minutes.

"The roots of these plants will tell me where to find the eternal life source!" Arbo exclaimed exitedly. He knelt by the plants and placed his hand gently on the roots. All of a sudden he jumped up with a look of horror on his face. "The great forest is in danger! We must save the tree of Life!" Without questioning him, Stealth elf and Flameslinger rushed to the Dread Yacht, while their confused dragon teammates followed.

Arbo wasn't joking, as soon as they found their way to the great forest. They saw shrednaught mechs everywhere, cutting their way through the trees towards the tree of Life. Stealth elf led her friends into the battle. While it was important to find the next eternal source, stopping this act of evil had to be done first. The great forest was her home before coming to the academy. This is the very forrest her tree-like master taught her the ways of Stealth along with her close friend Cami, who was like an older sister to her. Her home was in danger and it was time to defend it.

Flameslinger was just as angered by this, believe it or not, he lived out in the great forest himself. However he had lived out here alone, teaching himself how to survive and training in blind archery. Seeing the troll army of Kaos trying to destroy his beautiful home was quite infuriating.

As the battle ensued, Stealth elf caught something in the corner of her eye, a bright glowing green light, high up in the tree of Life. After taking out the last baddies, she and Flameslinger raced up the tree with their incredible speed. Spyro and Cynder flying not too far behind. Stealth elf and Flameslinger had actually tied for the fastest Skylanders, and fastest things in all of Skylands, they were the only ones able to keep up with eachother, and they actually liked it that way.

The life source glowed brightly giving off a brilliant warm green glow. All of a sudden, Stealth elf felt extremely energized, she couldn't explain it, but she felt like she had a power boost of some kind. *Perhaps it's because of the eternal life source, I match it's element after all,* she thought to herself.

But of course, it wasn't going to be that easy to get the source, because Kaos appeared once more to try and stop them. "So what if you've made short work of my stupid chainsaw trolls! I've got powerful life element minions who are loads stronger than you!" He laughed hysterically as he called upon his four twisted life henchmen. They were dark and pitch black like the water minions, but with a green glow instead of a teal one. The first minion looked as though he was crafted from wood and carried a razor edged shield, the next one was a broccoli with a wizard staff, one looked like a giant bird brawler, and finally and quite hilariously, the last one resembled a sheep with guns sticking out of his wool.

As the team confronted the baddies, they noticed this fight seemed a little trickier. Especially since the broccoli was healing his teammates, but he also blocked all attacks coming his way. So, while her friends kept him busy, Stealth elf snuck up on him and surprise attacked him. As soon as she struck him with her daggers, he popped into energy. Without the aid of their healer, the team were able to make short work of the corruption-born baddies.

Infuriated, Kaos just left without taking the source again. Stealth elf wasted no time in getting in, and heading back to the Dread Yacht.

Meanwhile, back within the storm of corruption, Kaos laughed hysterically, despite another humiliating defeat to the teenagers. "Sir, they seem to be more of a threat than we could have imagined, why are you still laughing?" His Butler Glumshanks questioned. "Because the corruption is spreading you fool! Soon it will engulf Skylands, and no matter what those insignificant children try to do, nothing can stop me. He continued to laugh, meanwhile, the heroes made their way back to the core to put the source of Life in it's proper place.
