The Year of the Sun Dragon (A Skylander fan-fic)

Unlikely Alliance

It has been some time since the Anti-claws' great discovery. The Dark Dragonslayer, one of the most powerful warships known in Skylands, was found in a valley not too far from the village. It was once thought to be completely destroyed by the Arkeans many years ago. However, it is in need of great repair, and the Anti-claws don't have the materials nor the knowledge to fix their great ship.

Which meant getting help from an outside source.

Like the other trolls. Who had abandoned the Anti-claws on the island.

And there was only person known in Skylands who dares trust the trolls enough to want to convince them to help the Anti-claws...

Kaos.

Oh boy.

Scorpius knew it was a bit of a stretch: telling Kaos of all "people" about a great warship that needs to be repaired with the help of the more technologically advanced trolls. More then risky, given how desperate Kaos can get about wanting to take over Skylands. Everyone knows. But Kaos was one of the few people that trusted trolls enough to let them run things. He even gave them whole islands to live on, which really is a good thing for Kaos, again of all people, to do. Sure, there were others who trusted the trolls, but Scorpius wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea of talking to the giant crustaceans known as Titans. So, Kaos was the next "best" choice. If you could call it that.

It had been almost a week since the letter was sent to Kaos. Scorpius knew it would take some time for the letter to reach Kaos's Castle, but he should've responded sooner. Earlier that morning, however, Scorpius received a letter from the little devil himself saying that he was interested in this Dark Dragonslayer and he would come over to talk about allowing his trolls to help repair the mighty ship. At least they got his attention.

Scorpius has since been training. He wasn't going to let Kaos possibly try and take the Dark Dragonslayer for his own desires. After all, Kaos has been trying for years to take control of Skylands and be it's ruler, and he was desperate. He got an Elemental Hydra to destroy the Core of Light and banished the Skylanders to Earth. He still lost. He revived the Arkean Army and tried to rule with a literal Iron Fist. He still lost. He used Petrified Darkness to attempt corrupting all of Skylands. He still lost. He released the Doom Raiders, plus dozens of other villians, from Cloadcracker Prison and tried to use Traptanium to fuel his "Ultimate Weapon of DOOM". He, well, still lost. He tried using the very Darkness itself to conquer Skylands. Him and the Darkness lost. He even teamed up with the rebellious Ancient Brain to create unstoppable warriors of doom. And...

You guessed it. He still lost. Scorpius kinda didn't blame Kaos for not winning when he tried using the Darkness to conquer Skylands. The Darkness tried to use him to conquer Skylands for itself. Of course Kaos managed to screw it up so the Darkness couldn't take what he thought was his. He actually saved Skylands for once. Once.

As much as it may seem like Kaos is a pushover or anything, he really wasn't if you think about it. He was a Dark Portal Master, and that meant he was powerful and quite dangerous. He has been able to access things that most in Skylands couldn't, like the Petrified Darkness. Scorpius felt he had to prepare for the event Kaos or his minions tried to take the Dark Dragonslayer or the Anti-claw tribe.

Scorpius's idea of training? Hunting dragons down of course. He enjoyed it to death. Their death that is. They call him traitor and psycho and out-of-his-mind, but he had long been immune to their criticisms. They had hurt him before, but the pain had now become void to him.

Slash, snap, bite, and crush. Strike their hearts like they struck his. It was times like these that made Scorpius truly at peace with himself.

Jagged: Figured I'd find you here.
Scorpius: Oh, Jagged. Has Kaos arrived yet?
Jagged: Just came a couple of minutes ago. The other trolls are keeping him occupied right now.
Scorpius: Good. I'll be there to greet him soon enough. Have someone come and tend to these corpses will you? Their horns will make good helmets and their teeth are just small enough to make our valued ruby necklaces.
Jagged: I'll see to it that these are taken care of Scorpius. Good luck with Kaos.
