Hi everyone, welcome back for another Skylanders chapter.

Guess what, it's my Birthday today. I hope most of my readers from my other story read this. I usually post my birthday chapter on my other story, but unfortunately the chapter from my other story is far from ready.

New Skylanders for Trap Team have been announced, characters like Fling Kong (Air), Short Cut (Undead trap master), Tuff Luck (Life trap master), and Rocky Roll (Earth). I'm so excited!

I also saw the character poster showing the figures and the capturable villains, we have a few secret figures and villains. We know the secret characters in the Water, Undead and Life Element, but who are the ones in the secret Element? I don't know, but I really want to find out.

Anyway, please enjoy. (Warning: Long Chapter)

Chapter 3: Camp Conflict

Sparx and I followed the rest of the Magic Skylanders as they marched to the Training Field where all the other Skylanders would be training and relaxing.

Pop Fizz led the way while holding a shrunken Voodood in his right-hand. Anyone who had eyes could see Voodood was more than angry, he was down-right furious, to be honest, who wouldn't be? Not only was he now the size of an action-figure, but he had been humiliated in front of his team members, and he wanted payback.

We had an idea on who caused all this, two members of the Water Team. From what Voodood said, we were gonna find out who they were, one way or another, hearing him say that made me a little concerned. I've only been here half a day and things were already starting to stir.

Once we reached the field, I stopped for a moment to observe it. It was a big smooth field with green grass and beautiful flowers, there was a large clean pool-like pond, and a workout area with a wrestling ring and punching bags. I then noticed a large number of people in the field doing different activities, they were most likely the rest of the Skylanders, they certainly looked the part.

One face I recognised, Gill Grunt, he was with the rest of the Water team. It looked like they were practising swimming moves.

Voodood soon spotted them. "There they are." He said in his high-pitched voice as he pointed over to the Water team.

The rest of our team looked over to them and started marching over there; leaving me and Sparx behind. We both looked at each other. "I've got a bad feeling about this, Sparx." I said with a concerned look.

"I don't, we're finally about to see some excitement. If we're lucky, maybe Star Strike will get in a cat-fight with that good lookin' fish girl." Sparx said with a small smirk before he buzzed after them.

I sighed and shook my head before I followed them over to the Water team.

As we made our way over to them, Gill Grunt was teaching them how to do the Stroke move. "Ok, if we want to be the beat swimmers in Skylands, we have to get this right. So let's try this again, from the top." He said before he began moving his arms to look like he was swimming with the rest of his team copying him. "And one, and two, and one, and two, and watch my arms, don't screw this up." he sang.

"Hey, Gunt!" Pop Fizz called in an angry tone.

Upon hearing his name being called, Gill stopped his lesson and turned around to see us coming towards him. To my surprise, he actually greeted us with a smile. "Well, if it isn't the Magic guys, I thought you were staying inside to study or something." he said just before he noticed me and Sparx. "Oh, it's you two, looks like you've already settled in with your team." He said.

Star Strike looked down at me. "You've met him before?" she asked.

I looked up at her and nodded. "Right before I met you guys, yeah." I answered before we both returned our attention to what was happening.

Gill smirked at me. "So, how did things go at the camp when you arrived?" he asked curiously.

I was about to answer before Wrecking Ball stepped forward and spoke. "Enough with the small talk and friendly act, you guys went too far this time." Wrecking Ball snapped.

Gill's smile then went away. "Whow, what's the problem with you guys today?" he asked with a confused look on his face.

"I'll show you the problem." Pop Fizz said before he held out his right hand to reveal Voodood standing on his palm.

The rest of the Water team gathered around Gill Grunt as they looked down at him. After a silent few seconds, they all burst out laughing. They were laughing so loud that they were drawing attention from the other Skylanders. "Hahaha! Voodood? What on Earth happened to you? Haha!" A crab-like guy said.

"You guys happened to me! After you threw water balloons through Pop's window and messed up his potions!" Voodood said with an angry tone.

Upon hearing his high-pitched voice, they laughed even louder. "Hahaha! Your voice! It sounds like a mouse full of helium! Hahaha!" an Eel-like guy said.

Pop Fizz looked over to him. "You're one to talk, Zap." He said, earning a small chuckle from the rest of the team, but a glare from the guy named Zap.

Once Gill Grunt calmed down, he looked at Voodood. "Ok, I'm done…but seriously though, I don't know what you're talking about." he said with an amused smile still on his face.

"Two members of your team threw a bunch of water balloons through my window and wreck my equipment! Seriously Gill, i didn't think you guys would go this low!" Pop Fizz snapped.

I stepped forward. "Urr, guys, can I speak to him?" I asked.

However, I was just ignored. "Listen guys, as much as I would've enjoyed a good prank like this, I'm afraid you've got the wrong people, everyone from my team has been with me out here all day and they've never left my sight." Gill Grunt stated.

"And you expect us to believe you? You waters may be constantly wet, but you're not that slippery." Wrecking Ball said.

We all looked at him with awkward looks. "…Yeah…don't make puns like that again, Wrecking Ball. Seriously, you're not good at them." Dune Bug said before he opened his wings and buzzed over to Pop Fizz and landed beside him. "We know you guys did it, the water balloons speak for themselves, so why don't you just come out with it." he said.

Before Gill could answers, the fish-girl Sparx was talking about stood in front of him and gave Dune Bug a firm glare. "We didn't do it, Gill already told you that, so why don't you guys just go back to your magic lamp or whatever you sleep in?" she said.

Star Strike then pushed Dune Bug aside and glared at the fish-girl. "Back off, Punk Shot." She growled.

They both glared viciously at each other. Punk Shot was reaching for her crossbow while Star Strike reached for her fans. Sparx grew and excited smile. "Oh, here we go Spyro, we should've brought the video camera." He said as he buzzed up higher to get a better few.

But just before they were about to start fighting, a strong-looking fish guy gently pulled Punk Shot back and stood in front of Star Strike. "Hey honey, leave my girl alone." He said firmly.

Punk Shot looked at him with a raised eye-brow. "Since when did I become your girl, Riptide?" she said with her arms crossed.

Riptide then turned around to face her. "I…I thought during our late-night training session, we were getting a little-"

"Whow, whow, nothing like that happened at all. We were alone together, yes, did anything awkward happened between us, not that I know off." Punk Shot stated strongly.

The crab-guy from early turned to face them. "Honestly, is this really the best time? You two can't save this for later?" he asked.

Gill Grunt turned to face the two fish-people. "Wham Shell is right, better talk about your relationship problems later." He said calmly.

Punk Shot gave him a serious look. "There are no relationship problems, there's barely a relationship." She stated.

"What did I just say?" Gill Grunt asked.

"Can we please return to the real problem here?!" Voodood yelled.

The Water Team then returned their attention to us. "Sorry, you were saying?" Gill Grunt said.

"We were saying you guys did this to Voodood! Why don't you just admit it so we can get this fixed." Pop Fizz asked in a frustrated tone.

At that moment, I stepped forwards and placed my claw on Pop's shoulder. He turned his head to face me to hear what I had to say. "Hey…umm…do you mind if I ask him?" I asked nervously.

Sparx watched me with a raised eyebrow. "Urr, Spyro…what are you doing?" he asked curiously.

I didn't answer as Pop Fizz nodded. "Sure, let's see if you can get it out of him." he said as he took a step backwards to give me room.

With that, I took a step towards Gill Grunt and looked up at him. "Gill, I can see you're a nice guy and you're willing to protect your team. Trust me, if this was my team, I'd do the same. I'm don't want to see any fights, so please tell me the truth when I ask you this…did any of your team members do this to us?" I asked, hoping he'd tell me the full truth.

Gill gave me a calm look before he kneeled down to me and looked me right in the eyes. "None of us did it, we were here the whole time, ask any of the other teams, they'll tell you the same." He said.

I looked in his buggy fish eyes, but found no sign of deceit, I had an eye for spotting things like that. I turned to face the rest of my team and spoke. "He's telling the truth…they didn't do it."

Dune bug then walked up to me. "And what makes you think he's not lying? For a dragon, you're very naïve." He said a bit coldly.

"I can tell when someone's telling a lie or the truth, it's all in his eyes, he's telling the truth." I stated firmly.

"Oh really?" Voodood said before he looked at Gill Grunt. "Well if you guys didn't do it, then I suppose you wouldn't know who else could've done it?" he asked.

Everyone was silent for a moment before a yeti guy with four arms stepped forward. "Urr…I think I might know." He said with one of his hands raised up.

We all looked at him with curiousness. "Really? Well then, Slam Bam, tell us what you know." Gill said.

Slam Bam nodded before he looked at us. "Earlier today, I saw Scorp and Dino-Rang with a bunch of balloons heading over to the pond. After a minute or so, I saw them leave the field with them, they came rushing back afterwards." He stated.

After hearing this, we all looked at each other. "Scorp and Dino-Rang?" Star Strike said in confusion.

"The Earth team." Wrecking Ball growled. "We should've known they were the real ones behind this." He said with a slightly angered look on his face.

"Who are the Earth team?" I asked curiously.

Star Strike looked down at me. "The Earth team are the roughest team on the island, not to mention the most stubborn. They're complete loners, only looking out for their own group. They've been nothing but jerks ever since we met them, the only one we can actually bare being around is Flashwing, too bad she's not the leader." She said with her arms crossed.

"That bad, huh?" I asked before I sighed. "And just when I thought we were out of the woods." I said silently.

"Trust me, when it comes to the Earth guys, no-one is ever out of the woods." Gill Grunt stated.

I then looked up at him. "Well…where are they anyway?" I asked curiously.

Everyone looked around before Double Trouble spotted something. "They're over there by those rocks." He said as he pointed over to something.

We all looked over to where he was pointing and saw a bunch of tough-looking Skylanders hanging around a pile of brown boulders. Once he saw them, a glare appeared in Voodood's eyes. "Alright, lets settle this once and for all." He growled.

Worried that he was planning on starting a fight again, I walked over to Pop Fizz and looked at Voodood in his hand. "Wait, shouldn't we think this through first?" I asked.

"Nope." Voodood answered before looked at Pop Fizz's face. "Pop, get moving!" he said as he pointed forward.

Pop rolled his eyes. "I'll get moving, you little-" he muttered.

"What was that?" Voodood asked with a small glare in his eyes.

Pop looked into his small angry eyes and gulped. "Urr…I'm moving now." he said before he started walked towards the Earth team's location.

As a few of the other members of our team, Star Strike looked down at me and Sparx. "You two stay close, it's nothing big when it comes to the Water team, but the Earth team…different game." She said.

I nodded to say that I understood before the three of us followed the rest of our team.

The Water team watched as we walked away. "H-Hey! What are you talking about? We're just as tough of the Earth guys!" Zap called.

"No we're not." Gill Grunt stated simply.

"…No we're not." Zap agreed as he lowered his head in depressed way.

Meanwhile, we approached the rocks where the Earth team was hanging around. As we got closer, I examined them all.

There was a shark-guy arm-wrestling with a scorpion-guy.

A rock-guy with crystals for hands helping a crocodile-guy sharpen what looked like boomerangs.

A green turtle-guy breaking a bunch of rocks with his tale before actually eating the remains with his mighty jaws.

And finally, a rock dragon on top of the rock pile fanning a crystal dragon with a bamboo-palm, he looked very pleased to do so. "Bash, you don't really have to do this." The crystal dragon said with a small smile on her face.

"Don't worry, Flashwing, I'm happy to do it. Besides, it's a hot day, wouldn't want you're crystal wings to get…umm…dull? I-I-Is that what happens to crystals when they're in a hot place? They get dull or something?" Bash asked in a muffled voice due to the branch in his mouth.

Flashwing laughed at his confusion. "Haha, ok Bash, whatever you say." She said. Just then, she noticed us coming towards their spot. "Oh no, not again." she said.

Just before we could reach them, the rock-guy and the crocodile-guy leaped in front of us. They were ready to cast their weapons at us. "What do you guys want? It's Earth only over here." the rock-guy said.

"Get out of the way, Prism Break, we have something to say to your team leader." Pop Fizz said in a firm tone.

"Terrafin's doesn't have a meeting with anyone today." The crocodile-guy said in an Australian ascent before a smirk came on his face. "But…this is quite a change, usually it's Voodood as the moody stand-up guy. Has he finally given up on you and left Skylands?" he asked.

"Actually, I'm right here, you overgrown lizard!" Voodood said as loud as he could so he could hear him.

The crocodile looked down and saw Voodood in Pop's palm, then like everyone else so far, he and Prism Break burst out laughing. "Hahaha! What happened to you? Hahaha!" Prism Break laughed.

"It's a long story, ok?" Voodood said in slight embarrassment.

"Haha, oh really? Well how about you try and…shorten it down! Hahahaha!" The crocodile said; making himself and Prism Break laugh harder.

"Shut up, Dino-Rang!" Voodood shouted in anger.

They both stopped laughing. "Ok, ok, we're done…Just for the laugh, we'll let you see Terrafin." Prism said before he turned around and looked up at the shark-guy who was apparently Terrafin. "Hey Fin, you've got visitors." He said.

At that moment, Terrafin looked down at us while still arm-wrestling with the scorpion-guy. He smirked before he gave his arm one final thrust and flipped the scorpion off the rock, he then leaped down at stood before us. "Well, well, well…what have we hear? The Magic punks causin' trouble again?" he asked.

"You're the ones causing trouble this time, Fin! Look at what your guys did the Voodood!" Pop Fizz said before he held Voodood up to him.

Unlike the others, Terrafin didn't burst out laughing, in fact, he was only slightly amused by it. "Ha, now this is funny. The great Voodood, leader of the Magic camp…shrunk to the size of a bug." He said.

Sparx then buzzed up to his face. "Hey, I resent that, mister!" he said in a firm voice.

With Sparx still close to his face, he compared his size to Voodood's and laughed. "Ha! Even the bug's bigger than you." he said with an amused smile.

"Ok, you know something? Enough with the small-talk! We know you guys are responsible for this! You and your water-balloons!" Double Trouble said in a slightly angered tone.

"Keep your mask on, Hawaii 5-O, we didn't have anything to do with any water-balloons. Why don't you take this up with the Water team, sounds like something they'd do." Terrafin with his arms crossed.

"We were just over there, Slam Bam said he saw Scorp and Dino-Rang head over to our camp with a bunch of water-balloons, sounds like too much of a coincidence." Wrecking-Ball said.

Terrafin then turned around to face Scorp and Dino-Rang, they were shifting their eyes left and right. "…My claws are clean." Scorp said as he snapped his claws like a crab.

"Yeah right! We know you guys did it!" Pop Fizz said in a firm tone.

At that moment, Scorp jumped down from the rock and approached him. "Really?...Well, what if we did, what would you do then, fuzz ball?" he said with a dark grin.

"Those are fighting words!" Pop Fizz said as he put his fists up; preparing to fight.

What he didn't know was Voodood was still in his hand and his grip was squeezing him. "P-Pop…I'm still in your hand, man." He said with almost no breath.

Pop Fizz then unclenched his hand and released Voodood. "Sorry Voodood." He said before he tossed him over to me. "Spyro, catch!" he said loudly.

I then held out my claw and caught Voodood. Voodood was in a daze for a moment before he shook it off and gave Pop Fizz and angered look. "Hey!" he shouted.

Pop Fizz and Scorp looked like they were about to break out into a fight. But before they could, Bash leaped down between them and kept them away from each other. "Now c'mon guys, there's gotta be a better way of settling this." He said, trying to stop the fight.

Terrafin then stepped forward. "And I know just how to do that…fight -off!" he said.

Once they heard that, Scorp and the rest of his team smile with excitement. "Oh yeah, fight-off!" Scorp said before he faced Pop Fizz. "Now we're really gonna throw your butts down!" he said.

Pop Fizz grinned. "You're on, fight-off it is." He stated.

"What's a fight-off?" I asked curious as I stepped forward with Voodood still in my claw.

Everyone then turned to me with shocked and confused faces. "What's a-…what's a fight-…" Scorp tried to say before he turned to face the rest of my team. "Ok, who's the clueless dragon guy?" he asked with a raised eye-brow.

"Hey, that's Mr clueless dragon guy." Sparx said, trying to stand up for me.

I looked at him with my eye-lids half closed. "Thanks Sparx, that's really telling him off." I said sarcastically.

Star Strike then floated over to Terrafin. "That's Spyro, he's the new member to our team, just joined." She explained.

Terrafin then looked down at me. "A newbie, huh?" he said before he walked over to me. "Looks like the Magic team isn't the second camp to have the least members anymore." He stated.

After hearing what he said, I turned to look at the others. "Second? I thought you guys were the only team with the least members." I said in confusion.

They were all silent for a moment before Dune Bug realised something. "Oh yeah…the Undead Camp has only six members as-well, we kinda forgot about that." He said with a sheepish smile.

Terrafin rolled his eyes before he returned his attention to me. "Well, if you're the newest one in Skylands, maybe I should give you a…proper…Earth team welcome." He said before he and Scorp chuckled deviously.

Sparx and I just chuckled with them nervously. "*Nervous laugh*…Spyro, what does he mean by that?" Sparx asked threw a large nervous smile without taking his eyes of the two Earth creatures.

I did the same as I answered. "I don't know, but I'm feeling a uncomfortable chill in my scales." I said.

"That's a bit more information than I wanted to know, buddy." Sparx stated.

Terrafin didn't say another word as he turned around and walked over to Voodood in Pop's hand. "Ok, Voody…I'll make ya a deal. We'll have a fight-off to settle your little problem, if we win, you guys have support my Camp during every training session for the next week, and if you guys win, we'll clean up Pop's lab, We'll even help make a potion to help you grow back to your normal size. Deal?" he asked with a smirk.

Voodood rubbed his chin as he thought about it. "Hmm…sounds a bit tricky, but I suppose we don't have much options." He said out-loud before he looked up at Terrafin. "Alright, shark-bait, you're on." as he held out his small hand.

Terrafin then lowered his hand down to him and stuck his index-finger out to him, Voodood grabbed his finger and shook it. When they stopped shaking, Terrafin turned his head to face the workout area. "Lets head over to the ring." He said before he and his team started making their way over to the wrestling ring.

Me and my team followed them, I caught up with Double Trouble and looked at him. "Hay, Double Trouble, right? This fight-off thing…what is it?" I asked curiously.

Double Trouble turned his head to face me. "Well…it's pretty much like a fighting match, only this is used when the other camps have a disagreement or fight. A while back, we all hated each other so much that we didn't want to even be on the same island, that was until we all had a negotiation meeting. We all decided to get along enough to stand being in the same place, but if we'd ever have a fight, we'd settle it in a fight-off, where members of the conflicting camps fight each other. The camp that wins the most rounds wins and the loser camp has to do the other a favour." He explained.

"Huh, I think I get it…this should be interesting." I stated as we continued to follow everyone.

Once we arrived at the wresting-ring, Terrafin turned around to face Voodood. "Here we are, should we go over the rules." He asked with the smirk still on his face.

"They're the same as always, we play a number of rounds and the winner is the camp with the most wins. Obviously, I'm in no condition to compete, but my team are. But the question is, which team's going first and makes the extra rules?" Voodood asked with his arms crossed.

Terrafin rubbed his chin before he noticed a few sticks on the ground. He picked two up, a long one & a short one, and held them behind his back so he could shuffle them; making him which one was which. After a second, the held them back in front of him and held them out to Voodood. "We'll do the 'straw' thing, the one with the small stick goes first, deal?" he asked.

"Fine with me." Voodood said before he looked up at Pop Fizz. "Pop, take one of those sticks." He ordered.

Pop nodded before he reached out and slid one of the stick out of Terrafin's grasp. "Ok, we open on three…one, two, three!" Pop said before he and Terrafin opened their hands; reviling who had which stick.

Unfortunately, Terrafin had the short stick. He smiled when he saw this. "Well, well, looks like I win." Terrafin gloated before he threw the stick away and held his hands behind his back. "We'll play three rounds, a person from my team with enter the ring and choose who he wants fight from your team. Then when that fight's done, a person of your team will go up there and do the same. Best two out of three, winner takes all." He said.

"Sounds good enough for me." Voodood said with a smirk.

"In that case…*chuckle*…let the game begin." Terrafin said with a devious grin.

A few minutes later

Before starting the match, we were all given a chance to warm up. We didn't know who was going to go into the ring or who they would pick, so we thought it would be best if we all got prepared.

Meanwhile, many of the other Skylanders from the other camps started to gather around the workout-area, including Gill Grunt and his team, obviously they all knew what was going on. I saw a lot of Skylanders I haven't met yet, but I was sure I'd get a chance to meet them all eventually.

Just then, I noticed Terrafin walking up to us and stopping in front of the bench where Voodood was standing on. He looked down at him. "My guys are ready when you are, shrimpy." He joked.

Voodood growled under his breath. "So are we, you gonna start this thing or are you worried you're gonna break a nail?" he said, trying to make fun of him.

Terrafin frowned at his comment. "So that's how you want it, huh? Fine." He said before he turned around and walked back over to him team. Once he reached them, he looked back at us before he faced his team mates. "Lets crush these guys." He said, some of them nodded.

A minute later, Terrafin climbed up on into the wresting-ring and stood in the centre. Pop Fizz grabbed Voodood and joined him up there until they were facing each other. They just stood there, staring at each other silently until Terrafin spoke. "Let the fight-off…begin!" he said loud enough for the crowd to hear; earning a cheer from them.

Terrafin then started walking across the ring and he spoke to the crowd. "As agreed, a member from my team will be the first to choose their opponent, and thanks to the straw method, the fighter has been chosen. So let's hear it for my right-hand bug…Scorp!" he said as he pointed at the corner of the ring.

The moment he did, Scorp leaped up and landed in the corner of the ring, releasing a spin-chilling hiss as he snapped his claws repeatedly.

With him now on the ring, Terrafin walked over to the edge on climbed out to re-join the rest of his team. Pop Fizz did the same and placed Voodood back on the bench.

Sparx and I watched Scorp parade around the ring with a confident smirk on his face, at one point he even swung his sharp-pointed down and stabbed through the floor of the ring; making us feel a little more nervous. I gulped loudly. "I really hope he doesn't pick me." I said out-loud.

Sparx turned his head to face me. "Why? You scared? Never known you to be scared." He said, teasing me.

I looked at him. "I'm not scared, we're supposed to be trying to get along with these guys, not starting fights with them on the first day. Also, he's a scorpion, I don't really want to fight a scorpion, he'll poison me and then cut my head off." I said with a timid look my eyes.

"So…you're scared." Sparx said with a cheeky smirk on his face.

I gave him a firm look. "I'm not scared." I said in an even firmer voice.

"Oh really? Well then, you won't mind if I do this." Sparx said before he hovered up high and looked at Scorp. "Hey bug-boy, we've got a fighter over here! He's small and purple, it'll be like fighting a grape." He called, trying to get his attention.

My eyes grew wide. "Sparx! What the heck are you doing?!" I said in a slightly loud tone.

Scorp looked over me and my team before he grinned. "I've made my decision." He announced to the crowd. "I choose…Star Strike." He said while pointing his right-claw at Star Strike.

Sparx looked at Scorp with his eye-lids half closed. "Oh I…I suppose I was just being ignored…so much for the excitement." He said.

I then reached my claw up and grabbed Sparx by the bottom-half of his body and pulled him down to my level. "Sparx, stop trying to get me in a fight, I don't want to fight anyone." I said threw my teeth.

"Where's the fun in that?" Sparx asked while smiling in amusement.

I groaned as I realised him.

Meanwhile, Star Strike had already joined Scorp in the ring and get ready to fight.

"It's show time!" Dino-Rang said before he looked over to Bash who was holding a fight-bell, he pressed a button that made a 'ding' noise, letting Scorp and Star know the fight had begun.

They both started walking in a circle, looking like they were ready to pounce on each other like a pair of angry cats. But soon enough, Scorp made the first move by throwing some kind of green ball at Star.

She saw this coming and quickly dodged it, Scorp kept doing the same thing and so did she. Eventually, Scorp got bored of this, he threw two balls to keep her distracted while he leaped forward, wrapped himself in ball, and rolled towards Star Strike.

Star Strike was too busy knocking the balls away to react fast enough, so once he got close enough, he made himself bounce and struck Star in her chest; making her fly backwards and hit the elastic barrier.

Scorp unrolled himself and held his claws up with a large grin on his face, most of the crowd cheered him on as he once again paraded around the ring.

We all rushed over to Star Strike and saw her eyes were closed. "Star Strike, are you alright? C'mon, talk to us." Dune Bug said as he reached his hand through the elastic barrier and shook her shoulder.

Star's eyes flickered open and she moaned. "Ohh…that sneaky little creep." She groaned before she got herself back up and pulled out a pair of paper fans.

While Scorp had his back turned, Star Strike summoned a small star above her. It dropped down and she hit it with one of her fans. The star shot across the ring before it stuck Scorp on the back of the head; making him fall hard onto the elastic ropes.

He pushed himself up before he slowly turned to face Star with a glare in his eyes. He growled before he spun around and charged towards her.

Star Strike reacted quickly by summoning a bunch of stars and they all fell down to her one at a time, she spun around repeatedly and hit all the stars towards him.

Scorp dodged a few, but knocked the others away with his claws. Once he was close enough, he shot his claws out in an attempt to grab Star.

Star quickly ducked before his claws could grab her, Scorp looked down for a short second before she smacked him with one of her fans; making him tumble a little. Star moved across to another part of the ring so she could face him better.

Once his senses came back, Scorp rushed over to her and shot his tail over his head towards her. Star dodged it, but he kept doing it again and again; desperately trying to hit her.

I had no idea if this was even allowed, I mean, a scorpion's is poisonous, right? One sting and she's a goner, unless his venom isn't really…you know …fatal, maybe it just slows people down and makes them go dizzy or something. Anyway, I dropped the thought and continued watching the fight.

The more Star dodged them, the faster Scorp's attack became. After doing this a few times, the last time she dodged his tail, Scorp swung it and hit her in the side; knocking her down onto the floor.

Scorp lifted his tail up high and shot it down hard, but despite her injury, Star managed to roll to the left; making Scorp's tail stab into the floor. He growled in frustration and tried to pull his tail back up, but it was stuck.

He tried to yank it out, but couldn't. This gave Star the opportunity to strike back and end this, and decided to use her best attack to do it. She began to spin around rapidity until she began to look like some sort of glowing spinning-top.

While still spinning, she moved backwards until she reached to elastic ropes, she kept moving backwards and stretched the ropes, it wouldn't be long until they'd reach their limit and fling her like a fling-shot.

Scorp saw watch she was doing and tried to pull her tail out harder, he grabbed it with his claws and pulled with all his strength. "C'mon! I didn't do it that hard!" he growled as he kept pulling.

As I expected, the ropes flung Star towards Scorp with great speed. He didn't even get a chance to see her before she slammed into her, not only releasing his tail, but also sending him flying out of the ring.

A part of the crowd moved apart to let Scorp fly past them and land hard into a mud puddle with a loud, gooey slash. Most of the crowd laughed at his humiliating position.

Meanwhile, Star Strike stopped spinning and stood in the centre of the ring. She put her fans away and raised her hands up as some of the crowd cheered for her.

Me and the rest of my team were cheering louder for our victorious friend. I couldn't believe what I just saw, her fighting skills were amazing. Sparx just smirked as he clapped his hands. "I've seen better." He said out-loud, but getting no response.

Pop Fizz got up onto the ring and held Star Strike's arm up. "Star Strike wins round one!" he announced; earning a louder cheer from the crowd.

Meanwhile, Terrafin walked around to Scorp and crossed his arms. Scorp pulled his face out of the mud and looked up at him to see her disapproved face. "I expected better from my right-hand bug." He scolded.

Scorp got up and gave him a firm look. "Well if you're so touch, you go up the next time it's our turn!" he said in an angered voice.

Terrafin put his hands up. "Calm down, I have everything under control." He said before he glimpsed over to us. "Besides, I may not get a chance. But if I do, I know who I'm gonna pick." He said.

"Who?" Scorp asked curiously.

Terrafin looked at him again. "None of your concern, now c'mon, we need to get you cleaned up." he said before he and Scorp began to make their way back around to their team.

After Pop and Star left the ring and joined back with us, we all congratulated Star on her victory. "Good going, Star Strike, I've never seen anyone fight like that." I said.

"Yeah, you were great. I know you said you fight with stars, but I always thought that was a figure-of-speech." Double Trouble said.

I couldn't see it, but I knew she was smiling in some way. "Thanks guys, but we need to focus back on the match. We need to decide who goes next." She stated.

"Let's go what the Earth guys did, lets do the straw method." Pop Fizz suggested.

"Good idea." Dune Bug said before looked around for a few sticks, once he had them, he held them out to all of us. "Ok, everyone except Voodood and Star Strike take one. The one with the shortest stick goes in." he said.

With that, we all nodded before we each took a stick, including me. We opened our hands at the same time, to my relief, I didn't have the short straw, neither did Dune Bug, or Double Trouble, or Pop Fizz, leaving only Wrecking Ball.

Her opened his claw to see he hand the small stick. "Aw dang." He said with a slightly scared look on his face.

Voodood walked across the bench to get close to him. "You have the small stick, Wrecking Ball, you're the one who has to go next." He said.

Wrecking Ball looked at him. "But I'm the weakest one in the team, how am I supposed to beat 'em?" he asked.

"It's alright, Wreck…just pick the one with the least power. Don't go for a strong one, go for a weak one." Voodood said.

Wrecking Ball thought about it for a moment before he nodded. "Alright." He said before he turned to face the ring and gulped. "*Gulp* Here I go." He said before he changed towards the ring with his tiny legs and climbed into the ring, although, due to his small size, he had a little trouble doing so.

Pop joined him in the ring and faced the crowd. "Now fellow Skylanders, get ready for round two, featuring my good buddy, Wrecking Ball!" he announced; earning some more cheers from the crowd.

Pop then looked at Wrecking Ball. "Remember, go for an easy target." He said before he rushed off the ring and joined back up with us; leaving Wrecking Ball up there by himself.

After a few seconds, he turned to face the Earth team and struggled to make his decision. "Aww man, they all look so touch, there's no way I'm gonna do this." He thought as he began to sweat.

While he was think about who he was going to choose, Terrafin turned his head to face Flashwing and nodded to her, she grinned and nodded back before she looked up at Wrecking Ball.

Soon enough, he looked over to Flashwing to see the sly smile she was giving him, unable to take his eyes away, he saw her give him a small wink. Memorized by her beauty, he said her name out randomly. "Flashwing!" he said out-loud before he realized what he had done and faced-palmed himself. "No, I mean…I…damn!" he said.

Ignoring his last words, the decision had been made and the crowd cheered. Flashwing looked as though she had no idea what had happened. "Me? What a surprise." She said innocently before she leaped up into the ring.

Bash walked up to the end of the ring and watched her approach Wrecking Ball. "Knock him dead, Flashwing." He said, trying to support her.

Flashwing stopped and turned her head around to face him. "I'll do my best, thanks." She said with a kind smile before she turned her head back around and continued walking towards Wrecking Ball.

Once she reached him, Flashwing looked Wrecking Ball right in the eyes with the sneaking grin on her face. "Don't worry, sweetie, I'll be gentle." She said in a sly voice.

Wrecking Ball began quivering at the sound of her voice and became breathless, he could barely move his legs. We saw this and Dune Bug buzzed up to the ring. "Snap out of it man! She's trying to play with you." he called.

Wrecking Ball then snapped out of it before he growled, looking brave, even though he was quite nervous. They both waited patiently until they heard the 'ding', which made Wrecking Ball jump a little.

A twinkle shun in Flashwing's devious eyes before she flicked her tail up and a small crystal shot out towards Wrecking Ball, seeing this, he quickly rolled out of the way and it missed him. She did this three more times and he barely dodged them.

For a moment, Wrecking Ball felt a bit of confidence, he smiled and chuckled slightly at his luck. That is, until another crystal hit im in the face; knocking him down on his back.

He quickly shook off his daze and over to Flashwing. "Aww, did baby get a boo-boo? Want me to kiss it better?" she asked, teasing him.

Wrecking Ball rolled over back onto his feet and took a few deep breaths. Once he was ready, he rolled into a ball and spinning around without moving, he started to glow green as he spun faster, as if he was charging up.

Once he was at full power, Wrecking Ball released himself and shot towards Flashwing. Catching her off guard, Flashwing gasped before he whammed into her; knocking her down.

Seeing this, Bash nearly ran up into the ring, only to be held back by a few of his team mates.

Upon hitting her, Wrecking Ball unrolled himself and smiled with victory. He looked around at the crowd and jumped up and down, trying to look big for them. But suddenly, he heard something, something like…weeping.

He stopped where he was and turned around to see Flashwing still on the floor, but she looked as though she was having trouble getting up, she was making a sound as if she was in pain.

Did Wrecking Ball really hit her that hard? The thought of it made him feel bad, he approached her and reached out for her shoulder. "Urr…Flashwi-UFF!" He said as Flashwing suddenly swung around and whacked him away with her tail.

As Wrecking Ball landed on the floor, she smiled with amusement. "Oh my gosh, I can't believe you fell to the old 'crying girl' act." She said in slight amusement.

As Wrecking Ball pushed himself up, he growled in frustration. "Alright, that's it…she's toast." He said before he spun around and shot his tong sticky tongue out at her.

Flashwing was quick to dodge it, he did it again and again until she actually grabbed his tongue with her claw. "Ah-ah-ah, no tongues on a second date." She said before she started pulling him in different directions.

Wrecking Ball's eyes became watery as he tried to pull his tongue free from her grasp. Flashwing started pulling him towards her and he tried to stop himself, but couldn't. Eventually he was close enough to touch her, that's when it happened.

Wrecking Ball released a loud gassy belch, it looked like he was burping green gas in Flashwing's face. Upon receiving this, she began to cough loudly, sounding like she was going to throw up. She eventually released Wreck's tongue and he was able to speak. "Sorry, that was actually an accident." He admitted.

Flashwing managed to fan away the bad air with her right-wing before she looked at Wrecking Ball. "Oh yeah, well so is this." She said before she did a powerful shiny spin on the spot; knocking Wrecking Ball across the ring again.

Her glow was so bright that some of us had to cover our eyes for a moment. Once she stopped spinning, the glow stopped; allowing us to see again.

Wrecking Ball got back to his feet before he and Flashwing glared at each other, they stood silently and drug their claws into the soft surface they were standing on. After a minute, Wrecking Ball made the first move by leaping forward and rolled towards Flashwing again.

However, Flashwing stood completely still with a normal look on her face. As Wrecking Ball got closer, we all became nervous as to what was going to happen. And then, just as Wrecking Ball was about to hit her, Flashwing stuck her tail out in front of her and surprisingly stopped Wrecking Ball with a single tap.

With the tip of Flashwing's tail touching what was supposedly his chest, he stood there, staring at her. He only became more nervous when Flashwing gave him another sly look.

Flashwing soon pulled her tail away before she took a step closer and started rubbing under his chin with her right-claw.

Then something even more surprising happened. While still rubbing his chin, Flashwing quickly leaned closer and gave Wrecking Ball a warm kiss on his right-cheek; leaving him stunned and even more breathless than before.

Flashwing pulled away and giggled before she tapped Wrecking Ball with her claw, he then fell down stiff as a board, he was blushing so much that his body colour was changing from blue to red.

However, Bash didn't find this amusing at all, he was gritting his teeth tightly, trying hard not to pound his tail against the ground.

While Wrecking Ball was trying to settle his spinning mind, Flashwing walked around him and gently grabbed his red antenna-like things on his head with her mouth, she then picked him up and walked over to the end of the ring.

Once she reached the end of the ring, Flashwing lifted Wreck over the elastic robes before safely dropping him onto the ground and out of the ring.

The moment that happened, the crowd cheered loudly for her. Terrafin got up into the ring and rushed over to Flashwing before raising one of her claws up. "Flashwing wins round two!" he announced, making the crowd cheer louder.

Meanwhile, we all walked over to Wrecking Ball to see the daft look still on his face. "Hey, Wreck, are you ok?" Pop Fizz asked as he shook Wreck's stiff body.

Wrecking Ball's eyes were spinning. "Dah…I like turtles." He said, talking silly.

Voodood rolled his eyes before he looked at Pop. "Pop, have you got any normal water in that bag of yours?" he asked curiously.

Pop Fizz raised his eye-brow. "Yeah, but why do you want-" he said before he realised what he wanted it for. "Oh right, got ya." He said before he reached into the backpack he was wearing on his back.

He then pulled out a vial of water before he pulled the cork off and slashed all the water over Wrecking Ball; snapping him out of his daze and returning his colour to normal. "Huh! Wha-…what happened? Did I win?" he asked.

We all stared down at him. "No, you didn't win. Flashwing used a powerful weapon on you, her own charm." Voodood said before he groaned. "I thought I told you to choose a weak one! Why? Why her?" he asked loudly.

"B-But I thought I did choose a weak one." Wrecking Ball stated in defence.

"What made you think she was weak?" Double Trouble asked in confusion.

Wrecking Ball turned to face him. "Well…she's a girl." He said, not realizing what he said. Saying that got him nothing but a humorous slap across the face from Star Strike who was more than offended by that.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the area, Flashwing and Terrafin joined back up with their team. Prism Break and a turtle guy walked up to her. "Nice goin', Flashwing, that little worm never saw it coming." Prism Break said.

"Yeah, especially that last part. He'll probably be dreaming about you for months." The turtle guy said.

Flashwing grew an amused smile. "Well there's no surprise there, Slobber Tooth, I have that effect on people." She said.

Overhearing what they were saying, Bash grew frustrated, he was beginning to think Flashwing didn't like him as much as he thought, that she didn't see him as the guy she wanted. But he soon grew a plan that would prove he was.

"Well guys, it's our turn again, so shall we draw the straws to see who goes up?" Terrafin asked as he held the sticks in his hand.

"No." Bash said as he walked towards him; getting everyone's attention, especially Flashwing's. "I'm going up there next." He said strongly.

"But…we're supposed to do the straw thing to make that choice. I mean, it's the rules." Terrafin stated calmly.

"I don't care, I wanna fight next, I'm not afraid." Bash said as he began to slowly calm down a little.

Flashwing grew a slightly concerned look. "Bash, are you sure you want to? I mean, what if you get hurt?" she said.

Bash turned his head to face her. "I've got rock-hard skin, how can I get hurt?" he said.

The rest of their team looked at each other before they returned their attention to Bash. "Ok then, Bash, you're up next." Terrafin said.

Bash grew a smile of courage before he started making his way towards the ring. Flashwing watched him with even more concern before walking up beside him. "Bash, you don't have to do this." She said, trying to stop him.

Bash stopped where he was and looked at her. "Yeah I do, I want to prove to everyone I'm strong…and…worthy to be by your side." He said with his head down before he looked back up at her. "I want to prove I'm a better warrior than they think, even better than Wrecking Ball." He said before he returned his attention to the ring and climbed up onto it.

After thinking about it, Flashwing realized what he meant, she gasped before she rushed up to the end of the ring. "Oh Bash, that meant nothing. It was…I mean, I just…oh no." she said with worry as she watched her friend reach the centre of the ring.

Meanwhile, we all saw Bash in the ring. "Looks like Bash is up." Star Strike said.

"Who do you think he's gonna pick?" Dune Bug asked curiously.

"Maybe he'll choose Wrecking Ball. I mean, he just saw his girl kiss him, he's probably pretty mad." Double Trouble said as he looked over to Wrecking Ball who was sitting on the bench holding and ice-bag against his sore cheek.

"No way, he's already played and lost, he can't go back up there, it's against the rules." Voodood stated.

Over by the Earth team, Terrafin was standing beside the ring telling Bash the same thing. "I know you want to get back at Wrecking Ball for what just happened, but you can't yet, he's already been up and he can't be chosen again." he explained.

Bash took some deep breaths before he turned to face him. "Alright, I'll give him a break, but who else should I pick?" he asked; getting a devious grin from Terrafin.

Meanwhile, I was slightly nervous, Terrafin said he'd give me a 'proper Earth team welcome' and two rounds have already been played, if they were gonna pick me for one of the fights, this would be it. I began nervously clawing the rubber tarmac beneath my feet as I watched Bash talk to Terrafin. "Aww man, he's gonna pick me, I just know it." I thought as I began to sweat slightly.

Just then, I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I turned my head to see it was Pop Fizz with a calming smile on his face. "Hey Spyro, how are you holding up?" he asked.

I returned his smile before I answered him. "I'm alright…just worried that he might, you know…pick me." I admitted.

Pop Fizz removed his hand. "Don't worry, Spyro. The Earth guys may be a bit mean, but they're not cold-hearted like that. They know you're new and not used to these type of things, the ones they're likely to pick are one of the few that's been her longest. The old and predicable ones, if you will." He said with a smirk on his face and his arms crossed.

Meanwhile, Bash stood in the centre of the ring and looked over to our team. "I choose…Pop Fizz." He announced; making the crowd once again cheer loudly.

Upon hearing this, the smirk of Pop's face disappeared. "…Well, I know when I've been made a fool of." He said, remembering what he just said to me.

With no choice, Pop Fizz got up into the ring and walked over to Bash. He stopped a few feet away from him and they both stared at each other; waiting for the bell to ring.

After a minute or so, the bell rung and Pop was quick to make the first move. He quickly reached into his bag and pulled out two purple potion vials. He wasted no time in throwing them both towards Bash.

Bash quickly leaped out of the way before the vials smashed against where he was standing and made a small explosion. At a safe distance away, Bash raised his front-legs up and stomped them on the floor.

Once he did that, a pointy rock shot up through the floor in front of Bash, he swung his tail and destroyed the whole thing, expect for a large part of it that was heading right towards Pop Fizz.

Pop Fizz reacted to this by grabbing a green vial and throwing it at the rock. Upon smashing against it, the green liquid coated it and started burring it away, it must've been powerful acid or something. So by the time it hit Pop Fizz, it was nothing more than a harmless stone that Pop simply brushed away with his foot.

Bash got frustrated with this before he rolled into a ball and rolled towards Pop. Pop Fizz quickly jumped out of the way and Bash missed him, but Bash had control over his ability, he actually turned himself around and continued to roll after Pop Fizz.

By now, the fight had turned into a chase, Pop was running around the ring yelling while Bash rolled after him. It was both embarrassing and amusing to watch.

But at some point, Pop pompously dropped one of his vials behind him and Bash rolled right into it; breaking the vial and causing it to explode.

The small explosion sent Bash flying backwards until he hit the floor on the other side of the ring. Flashwing saw this and covered her mouth with her claw. She looked worried…really worried.

Pop Fizz stopped running and grew a smile once he saw what had happened. "Ha! What's wrong, Bash? Getting slow?" he called.

Bash slowly got up before he turned around to face his opponent. "Alright you little blue hair-ball, give me your best shot! I can take it!" he said loudly.

Pop Fizz then grew a devious smirk. "My…best shot, huh?" he said before he reached into his bag and pulled out a blue potion. "Well if that's what you want." he said as he flicked the cork off of the bottle.

Bash crouched down and growled, ready for whatever he had to throw at him.

Pop Fizz held the vial up as if he was going to throw it, but to our surprise, he didn't, he opened his mouth and drank the potion instead. He drank it until there wasn't a single drop left.

Pop wiped his mouth with his arm before he looked at Bash with a devious smile and threw the empty vial away out of the ring.

At that moment, something began to happen to Pop Fizz, his eyes began to twitch and his teeth were grinding. He held his head with his hands, as if something was crushing his brain from the inside. It wasn't long before his body started to change, his legs grew another few feet and his body became brawny, his light-blue fair turned dark and scruffy.

All eyes were on Pop Fizz during his transformation, Bash had a small look of fear on his face, but he shook it off and put on a brave face.

By now, Pop looked completely different from before. His large beast-like hands covered his face as he breathed deeply, his breathing sounded like what you'd hear from a bear or a large wolf. After a moment, he removed his hands and revealed his new monstrous face. His eyes looked crazy, his teeth had grown sharp and…well…he looked just down-right scary as hell.

Pop's shadow shrouded over Bash as he approached him, each step made the ring shake. "You wanted my best shot, here it is." Pop said in a deep voice before he punched his fist into his left-hand. "Now, let's get this over with." he said.

Bash growled before he spun around and swung his tail towards Pop Fizz, the spiked-ball at the end of his tail hurled right towards the side of his face, that was until Pop suddenly grabbed it before it could touch him. "Nice try, rock-boy." Pop said before pulled on Bash's tail and lifted him up off the floor.

Pop Fizz then swung him over his head and slammed him down hard on the floor. The Earth team looked worried for their friend, especially Flashwing, a part of her could barely watch.

As Pop lifted him up again, Bash managed to swing himself up and bite Po's arm. "OW!" Pop yelled in pain as he dropped Bash and grabbed his bitten arm.

Once he hit the floor, Bash swung his tail against Po's legs and made him fall over with a hard thud. Bash swung his tail up again and attempted to hit Pop with it, but he rolled out of the way before his tail could hit him.

Pop Fizz got back up onto his feet and sharp claws came out of his fingers, he roared loudly before he charged towards Bash. Bash crouched down before he also charged, preparing to head-butt Pop Fizz.

But once he was close enough, Bash rolled into a ball again and passed right between Pop's legs. Pop Fizz immediately stopped and spun around to face him, only to get hit in the chest by his tail.

The Earth team cheered for him. Due to holding her breath during the whole thing, Flashwing exhaled in relief, but was careful not to let anyone notice.

However, the fight wasn't over, Pop Fizz shook off the pain and marched over to Bash. But Bash was getting tired of this and marked towards him.

Once they reached each other, the both struck at the same time, Pop threw a powerful punch towards Bash's face while Bash swung his tail again towards Pop's.

Both their attacks hit each other at the same time and timed seemed to slow down, they were both sent flying backwards away from each other and hitting the floor on each side of the ring.

Shocked and concerned for Bash's safety, Flashwing nearly climbed up to the ring to see if he was alright, but fought the urge to do so. Instead, Terrafin climbed up and rushed to him. Terrafin got down on his knees and put his hand on Bash's stomach, he was relieved to feel him breathing and turned his head to face his team. "He's alright, just knocked out." He stated; putting his team's worries at ease.

Overhearing them, Dune Bug smiled. "Then that means…we won! Haha, yeah!" he cheered.

The rest of the team soon joined him in celebrating, I was only smiling slightly. "Huh…that passed easily." I said out-loud.

Sparx gave me another smirk. "Told ya there was nothin' to worry about. Sometimes I think you make up these problems just to get attention." He joked.

I rolled my eyes at his comment.

"Wait!" Terrafin sound loudly for us all to hear. We all watched as he approached Pop Fizz and nudged him a little before a grin grew on his face. "This guy's out cold as-well." He said.

After hearing this, everyone but me gasped. "Oh no..." Star Strike said before she turned to face all of us. "You know what this means, don't you?" she asked.

"We sure do." Voodood said before he placed his hand on his forehead in frustration. "I was hoping to avoid this." He said under his breath.

I looked at everyone's faces, they knew something, something bad. I stepped closer to them. "Urr…can someone tell me what's going on?" I asked curiously, expecting one of them to answer.

But before any of them could, Terrafin beat them to it. "You all know what this means, right?...Sudden Death!" he announced; making the crowd cheer loudly again.

Meanwhile, Dino-Rang and Scorp got up into the ring and picked up Bash's uncurious body. They carried him back towards their bench, but had a little trouble getting him through the elastic ropes.

Flashwing watched as they nearly dropped him and stomped forward. "Hey, be careful with him!" he said strongly; making everyone in the Earth team stare at her in shock.

Realizing how she sounded, Flashwing cleared her throat. "*Clears throat*…You don't want to drop him…he's alright been hurt enough for today." She said, trying to sound more professional.

Dino-Rang and Scorp looked at each other with confused faces before they took her words into consideration and carefully got Bash out of the ring without dropping him.

Once they rested Bash down on the bench, Flashwing walked over to him and placed her claw on his back. "I hope he's ok." She thought as she slowly rubbed his rock-hard back.

Everyone in the team saw this and they all looked at each other. "And she keeps saying there's nothing going on between 'em." Prism Break said as he crossed his gem arms.

A few seconds after that, Pop Fizz shrunk down back to his original self and groaned in pain. With promotion from Voodood, Dune Bug and Star Strike got up into the ring and collected him before bringing him back to our bench to rest. Due to his small size, it was easy for them to do it.

Terrafin was no re-educating the crowd with the rules of Sudden Death. "As you all know, Sudden Death is a bonus match that is only played when a fight-off has no official winner, and the leader of the team that began the fight-off, that's me, will be the one who fights an opponent of his or her choosing." He explained.

Listening to this, I understood it but Sparx didn't, he looked at the others to get answers. "What does he mean by all that?" he asked curiously.

Dune Bug turned to face him. "It's simple really…Sparx, right? You know how there were only three matches to play? Well we won one, and so did the Earth team, but the third round had no winner, making it a tie. This match, Sudden Death, is a bonus round to settle the score, kind of like a fourth round."

After getting the simpler version, Sparx understood completely. "Ah, I get it now." he said before he returned his attention to the ring. "This is gonna be fun to watch." He said with a simple smile on his face.

Meanwhile, Terrafin grew another devious smile. "So…who wants to see a Sudden Death match?!" he said loudly.

The crowd cheered even louder to let him know that they definitely wanted to see it.

With that, Terrafin turned to face our team, I felt a chill run down my spine as he looked at me for a moment before looking over to someone else in the team. "Now, who should I pick?" he said as thought about his choses.

He could only choose between me, Double Trouble and Dune Bug…and Sparx if he wanted to make it super easy. And after a moment, he made his decision. "I choose…the new dragon guy." He said as his finger pointed directly down at me.

My eyes instantly grew wide. "What?!" I said loudly.

"What?!" Sparx said just as loud.

"What?!" My Team said at the same time.

"What?!" Dino-Rang said over by the Earth team. The other Earth Skylanders looked at him with confusion and he noticed this. "…I haven't said anything in a while." he stated.

I was completely shocked, he had chosen me, I knew this is what he meant by 'A proper Earth team welcome', he's been planning this from the start…then again, maybe not, he may have been trying to get into the third round but Bash went up instead for some reason. "M-Me?...I…I can't…I…urr…" I said nervously.

I really didn't want to do this, I wouldn't usually shy away from a good fight, especially a challenging one, but I was supposed to work with these guys, not fight them in some feud I've never been part of.

Terrafin stepped forward. "You have to, purple boy, it's the rules of a fight-off. You coward out, your team loses and we win." He stated with a smirk.

With that, I looked at the rest of my team to see they were all staring at me, waiting for my answer. I looked around at everyone else to see they were doing the same thing, I even noticed Gill Grunt nodding his head with a grin on his fishy face.

After a moment of thinking, I made my decision. "Fine." I said.

Terrafin grinned. "Great! Haha, this is gonna be good." he said deviously.

Sparx then suddenly looked at me with a worried look. "You're actually gonna do this? Dude, you can't do that, he'll break you in two!" he said.

I looked at him with a raised eye-brow. "You've been trying to get me up there all afternoon!" I said in a slightly loud voice.

"Yeah, but I never thought it would actually happen. Don't go up there, man, we don't want to cause trouble with the other teams, especially these Earth team guys." Sparx said, trying to talk me out of it.

"Oh, now who's over-worrying?" I said before I changed the subject. "Sparx, I have to go up there now, otherwise my team loses and they'll blame me for it." I explained before I turned to face the ring and walked over to it.

"C'mon, man! Don't do this!...How am I gonna explain this to Mom in the letters?" Sparx called as he watched me approach the ring.

Ignoring him, I climbed up into the ring and joined Terrafin in the centre, we both looked at each other normally.

Terrafin looked very calm about this, in fact, he looked like he felt more confident than me. "Now I don't think I have to explain things, but I will, just so we're clear. Both our teams have won one round, but due to the lack of a winner in the last one, this one will make up for it. There won't be any new rules, it'll work the same as the last three, we try to knock each other out of the ring…or just plain out-cold…and the team of that winner wins the fight-off. Get it?" he asked.

Understanding, I nodded. "Yeah, I get it." I stated.

"Good." Terrafin said as he put his fists up, ready to fight. "Then lets end this once and for all." He said as he hopped back and forth like a boxer.

I stroked my tail across the floor as I waited for the bell to ring. Nervous about how this would play out, ny heart beat against my chest. I was starting to get restless, it felt as though the bell was never going to ring…Until.

*DING*

The moment the bell rung, Terrafin grew sharp eyes and leaped into the air before diving down towards the floor. He broke through it to the Earth below. It was a bit of an odd way to start a fight, until he suddenly shot out from under my feet and knocked me half-way across the ring.

I landed on my hard back and groaned. "…Ow." I said before I slowly rolled back over onto my feet and saw Terrafin charging towards me.

I quickly moved out of the way as he threw a punch at me, he kept on throwing skilful punches and I kept dodging them. "Terrafin…we don't have to do this. I was sent here to fight with you, not against you." I said as I kept dodging his attacks.

Terrafin stopped throwing punches. "Don't think of it as 'fighting against each other', think of it as a friendly fight, people on the other islands do it all the time." He stated.

I felt a little calmer after hearing this. "Oh…well…in that case, I suppose it's alright to-UFF!" I yelled as Terrafin threw another punch and it hit in the side of my head.

I stumbled backwards and placed my claw on the place where he hit me. Terrafin laughed smug way. "Haha…first rule of team fighting, never let your guard down, it'll get you hurt." He said as he put his fist up again.

For a moment, I growled it anger, but I took a deep breath and calmed down. "C'mon, dude…that wasn't cool." I said with a calm tone.

Terrafin smirked. "Maybe not, but this is." He said before he dove down through the floor, tunnelled over to me and shot up in front of me. "Belly-up, BOOM!" he said in mid-air as he spread his limbs out and tried to belly-flop on me.

Reacting, I quickly spun around. Time seemed to low down as my tail hit into Terrafin and smacked him away. He was sent flying backwards until he hit one of the corner posts.

I then turned around to see what I had done. "Oh my gosh…I…I'm really sorry, I did…I mean, I didn't mean to…" I said, trying to explain myself.

Terrafin looked at me before he stood up. "Good shot, kid…but now I think play time's over." He said before he charged towards me again.

Once he reached me, he started throwing punches again. I dodged a few, but he eventually hit me in the head again, and while my senses were messed up, he punched me in the side of my body and I fell down.

He allowed me to regain my senses, but when I tried to crawl away, he slowly followed. I turned my head to see him as I continued to crawl away. "Where do you think you're goin'?" he said before he lifted his foot and stomped down on my tail.

Upon feeling this, I felt something quickly rushing up through my body, it went up my throat with great speed until it reached the inside of my mouth. That's when I unleashed a powerful fire ball towards Terrafin, it stuck his face and made him stumble backwards off my tail. "Ahh! What the heck?!" he shouted with his hands over his face.

With one hand still covering his face, Terrafin started swinging his free fist around to try and hit me. He couldn't see, so this was an advantage for me.

I quickly ran over to the other side of the ring and spun around to see Terrafin was starting to remove his hand from his face, but his vision was still bad, all he could see was a small purple blur. I then crouched down and lowered my head so my horns were pointing at him.

With my head still down, I sprang towards him. The close I got to him, the more my speed built up. Everyone was watching with suspense, wondering how this would play out.

And the moment Terrafin was able to see properly again, I rammed into him hard and he was sent flying backwards, he hit the elastic-ropes only to be flung back towards me.

I waited for the right moment to deliver my final strike, then once it came, I swung my tail again and it whacked him right in the face; making his body flip under my tail and land hard on his back.

Terrafin opened his eyes for a brief moment to say something. "…Ow…that was hard-core…" he said before he passed out.

At that moment, everyone burst out cheering. My team were cheering as loud as they could, but they were mixed within the cheers of the large crowd. I stood there in the centre of the ring, all eyes on me and Terrafin's uncurious body lying next to me. Many of these people I didn't know, but now I had already gained their respect without even talking to them. I didn't realize it, but a small smile grew on my face.

Suddenly, Sparx buzzed up to me. "Ya did it, bro! I knew you could." He said with a proud smile.

I raised my eye-brow. "Weren't you trying to talk me out of it a few minutes ago?" I asked with a smirk on my face.

Sparx gave me a fake confused look. "Did I? You must've been hearing things, you do that a lot, haven't you notice?" he said with his arms crossed.

Just then, the rest of my team came up into the ring and joined us. "Way to go, Spyro! You were on fire!" Wrecking Ball said as he jumped up and down.

"Yeah, you knocked him out cold." Pop Fizz said as he walked over to Terrafin's uncurious body and looked down at him. "Who's laughing now, shark butt!" he said.

While on Star Strike's hand, Voodood looked over to him. "Pop Fizz, don't act like a spoil-sport. We may've won, but we don't need to gloat about it." he said.

"Sorry." Pop Fizz said as he stepped away from Terrafin.

Voodood then looked at me. "Nice moves, Spyro, you're tougher than you look. I think you're gonna fit just fine in our camp." He said with a proud smile.

I returned his smile. "Thanks Voodood." I said politely.

Just then, Scorp came up into the ring and made his way over to us. We all watched him as he stopped in front of us and crossed him arms. He glared down at Voodood for a moment before he stuck his claw out to him. "Congratulations, you won the fight-off." He said with a calmer look.

Voodood then grabbed the tip of his claw and shook it up and down. "I expect you to keep your promise, you know." He said.

Scorp pulled his claw away. "And we will, just let us all rest up for a while, we'll meet up with you guys again when we're ready." He stated before he turned around to face his team and moved his claw in a way that told them to come up.

Dino-Rang and Slobber Tooth then came up into the ring and went over to Terrafin. Dino-Rang picked up his body and placed him on Slobber Tooth's back, he carried him out of the ring with Dino-Rang following behind.

Scorp looked at us one more time. "We'll get back to you soon." He said before he turned and walked away from us.

We all watched as Scorp climbed out of the ring and joined back up with his team. "That guys gives me the creeps like you'd never believe." Sparx whispered to us.

"I've been saying the same thing for weeks." Pop Fizz stated.

Another few minutes later

The crowd, including the Earth team, had now gone away from the workout-area, leaving only us sitting on the benches. Dune Bug was tending to the bruises on my body. "Ah." I said in pain as she touched a painful spot.

"Sorry." Dune Bug said as he waved his staff over my bruise and used his magic to make them disappear.

"You know, Spyro, you've impressed me today. No-one's ever taken on Terrafin like that and won. You must've had some practise back were you're from." Voodood said standing beside me.

I looked down at him and smiled slightly. "Well…there was a lot of trouble back in Warfang, you know, trolls and stuff. I was always keeping the streets safe, Sparx always helped of course, he's gotten me out of more jams than I can count." I admitted.

Sparx smirked proudly. "Yep, that's me alright. Always there to save Spyro whenever he screws up." he stated.

Star Strike hovered closer to me. "Well you definitely showed Terrafin a thing or two, he'll probably have to think twice before he challenges you to a fight again." she said.

"I believe so as-well." A voice said.

We all looked to where it came from to see Master Eon standing a short distance away from us. We were all surprised by his sudden appearance. "Master Eon! W-What are you doing here?" Pop Fizz said.

"I came to congratulate you on your victory, and to also see if your new recruit is feeling better." He said as he walked over to us.

I gave him a nervous look. "You mean…you saw the whole thing? Oh my god, I'm so sorry, if I had known you were watching, I wouldn't have-" I stopped as Eon raised his hand.

Eon then gave me with a calming look. "It's alright, Spyro. You had to go up there and fight, it was the rules, after all." He said.

I grew confused over what he said. "Wait…you mean you let these fight-offs happen? I thought someone like you wouldn't like them." I said.

"Well, I wouldn't say I like them, but I was the one who approved of them when it was made." Eon stated.

This made me more confused. "But…why would you approve of something like this?" I asked curiously.

"Because, like Double Trouble already explained to you, they're the only thing keeping the other Skylanders from tearing each other apart. I didn't have much of a choice…but every time there is a fight-off, I watch them to make sure they don't go too far. In fact, I was rather concerned when you shot fire into Terrafin's face." Eon said.

I was then worried that I was in trouble for doing that. "But…th-that was an accident! He stepped on my tail, I couldn't control it." I said in my defence.

"I know, Spyro, it happens to many dragons. But just try to be more careful where you're shooting the flames, we wouldn't want to have a serious accident to happen." Eon said in a calm tone.

I nodded to tell him that I understood.

Eon smiled before he saw Voodood in his small size. "Voodood, what happened to you? Do you know how silly you look?" he asked.

"I know, Pop Fizz shrunk me with one of his experiments and I've been stuck like this all day!" Voodood said loud enough for Eon to hear him.

Eon looked over to Pop Fizz with a raised eye-brow. "It was an accident." Pop said as he put his hands up.

Eon then looked back down to Voodood. "Hold still, I'll fix you." he said before he pointed his magic staff down towards Voodood.

A long bolt of magic lightening then struck Voodood before he slowly started to grow. It continued to do this until Voodood was back to his original size. Eon pulled his staff away once it was done.

Voodood looked at hands and smiled. "Yes! I'm back, baby!" he said with joy.

"It's about time, we were tied of carrying you around all day." Star Strike said with her arms cross.

Voodood then looked back up at Eon. "Thank you, Master Eon, you have no idea how annoying it was being that size." He said.

Sparx gave him a small glare. "Hey, I'm that size all the time, dude. You trying to insult me?" he said firmly.

I quickly looked up at him. "Sparx, shhh!" I said, shushing him.

Not hearing what either of us said, Eon smiled down at Voodood. "You're welcome, Voodood." He said before he looked at the rest of us. "No, I have to return to the palace. I'll see you all tomorrow to observe your training session. Get some rest, you all need it." he said before he turned and walked away from us.

At that moment, I remembered that he wanted to talk to me about something. I stepped forward. "Wait, Master Eon, didn't you want to talk to me about something?" I asked.

Eon stopped where he was and turned his head around to face me. "Hmm?...Oh, yes. But it can wait until another day, for now, just get settled here. We'll talk some other time." He said before he turned his head back around and continued to walk away from us.

We all watched as he walked away until Voodood looked at us. "Well, you heard him, lets get back to the camp." He said before he also walked away with the others following behind.

I then sighed before I looked up at Sparx. "It's been a crazy day, hasn't it, Sparx?" I said with a small smile.

He looked at me and returned my smile. "Yep, but nothin' we can't handle, right?" he said.

I nodded. "Yeah, nothing we can't handle." I said before I looked over to where the others were and saw that they were quite a distance away from us. "C'mon, we better catch up with them." I said before I took off into the air and flew after them with Sparx following behind.

That night: Magic Camp

After returning to our camp, everyone went inside to relax, but I was outside enjoying the cool air of the night. Sparx wasn't with me, he was inside, I was a little glad, I just wanted a few quiet minutes to myself.

I sat on the swing-chair looking up into the beautiful sky, the sky here was much different than the one in Warfang, there wasn't a single cloud, there were more stars and even shooting ones. Part of me just wanted to stay where I was, maybe even sleep there for the night, but I wasn't going to of course.

Just then, I heard someone talking nearby. I looked around and saw nothing, I then head it again, only I was able to pin-point where it came from, it was coming from the path leading out of the camp.

I got off the swing-chair and walked over to the camp exit, I didn't see anyone, but there was someone nearby. I walked down the path until I reached a corner, I peeped my head around it and saw the weirdest thing, Wrecking Ball and Flashwing talking to each other. I stayed where I was and listened in on their conversation.

"Listen Wrecking Ball, I don't usually do this, but I just want to apologize for what happened before. I hope I didn't hurt you in a bad way." Flashwing said with a small look of sorrow on her face.

Wrecking Ball smiled. "It's alright, I'm sorry for…you know…belching in your face. It's just like what happens with Eruptor and his lava vomiting, it can't be controlled." He stated.

Flashwing smiled with amusement. "Yeah, don't worry about it." she said before he smile disappeared. "Anyway…look…about that…that kiss I gave you. I…I just want you to know that it…well, it wasn't…" she said, lost for words.

Wrecking Ball gave her a comforting smile. "It's alright, I know it wasn't real, you just did it to stun me and win the round…kinda worked, haha." He chuckled. "Besides, it probably wouldn't have worked anyway. We can't date outside our own Elements. Also, I wouldn't want to come between you and Bash." He said.

At that moment, Flashwing grew wide-eyed and blushed deeply. "Me and…me and Bash? W-What do you mean? There's nothing going on with me and Bash." She said.

Wrecking Ball raised his eye-brow. "Sure there isn't." He said sarcastically with a cheeky smirk.

"There isn't!" Flashwing said in a slightly firm tone.

"I'll take your word for it." Wrecking Ball said with the same smile.

"Seriously, there's nothing between me and Bash, we're just friends. Besides, I don't have time for a relationship, I'm too busy…urr…training and…urr…stuff." Flashwing said strongly.

"Uh-Huh, I bet you are." Wrecking Ball said still wearing the same smiling.

"I am!" Flashwing said loudly before she calmed herself and returned to the real matter at hand. "Forget it, let's just get back to the real conversation, ok?...I'm sorry if I was a little mean in the ring, I was just trying to act mean for my team, alright?" she said.

Wrecking Ball nodded. "I understand, I sometimes have to do the same thing for my team…sucks, right?"

"Tell me about it." Flashwing said in agreement. "Anyway, we should get back to our own camps, don't want anyone to know we've actually been talking to each other." she said.

"Yeah, we should." Wrecking Ball said. "Goodnight, Flashwing." He said before he turned and walked away from her.

"Goodnight, Wreck." Flashwing said as she began to walk away in the other direction.

Seeing him coming this way, I quickly flew up into the tree above me. So when he came around the corner, he walked straight past me without noticing me.

Once he was gone, I dropped down from the tree and smiled a little at what I just saw. Two Skylanders from different Elements bonding like friends, I never expected to see that so early. "Huh…maybe this'll work out after all." I said to myself.

"Good at fighting and hiding, you're a very interesting dragon." A familiar voice said behind me. I spun around to see Flashwing leaning against a tree with all four of her legs crossed. "Before you ask, yeah, I've been standing her for the last few seconds." She said with a grin.

I smirked back. "Well I might be good at fighting and hiding, but you're good at sneaking." I said, complimenting her.

Flashwing stood up properly and came closer to me. "Not as much as you think, everywhere I go I'm always noticed…it's a curse really." she said as she spread out her pretty crystal wings.

In a way, I could see what she meant, she was hard to miss, especially looking the way she does. "Yeah…you kinda stand out." I said with a kind smile.

"Thanks." Flashwing said as she closed her wings.

I then decided to change the subject. "So…how's Terrafin?" I asked, wondering if he had woken up yet.

"He's fine, has a black-eye, but fine. But honestly, we all wanted to give him a black-eye at some point, you just happen to be the one that gave him it." Flashwing said before her smirk turned into an impressed smile. "By the way, those were some wicked moves out there, my scales are as hard as rock and you even gave me chills. You're quite the fighter for such a little guy." She said.

"Thanks…you were good out there too." I said before I changed the conversation again. "So, you and Wrecking Ball looked as though you were getting along. Never thought I'd see something like that." I said.

Flashwing smiled before she looked down the path Wrecking Ball went down. "Yeah, I think we're the first two Skylanders from different Elements to ever become friends, the rest of my team, on the other hand…well…they won't even talk about the other Skylanders." She said with a small frown before she sighed. "Sometimes…I wish we could all get along, you know. It sounds crazy, but this fight's been going on longer than anyone can remember. Don't you think it's time for a change?" she asked me.

I was silent for a moment before I nodded. "Yeah, I do think that." I said before I gave her a nice smile. "In fact, the way you and Wrecking Ball were treating each other is exactly how I want the other Skylanders to treat each other."

"Same here." Flashwing said before she cleared her "8Clears throat*…Anyway, it's getting late, I better head back before my team starts looking for me, you won't believe how protective Bash can be." She said.

I chuckled. "Haha, I'll take your word for it. Goodnight Flashwing, see you tomorrow." I said kindly.

"You too." Flashwing said before she turned around and began to walk away from me.

I turned around in the opposite direction and started making my way back to my camp, but before I could.

"Hey…Spyro, right?" Flashwing's voice called.

I turned my head around to see her. "Yeah?" I called back.

Flashwing gave me another kind smile. "Welcome to Skylands." That's all she said before she turned her head back around and continued to walk away from me.

"…Thanks." I said quietly before I turned my head back around and continued to walk back to the camp.

Once I got back, I entered the large crystal dome that served as our tent and went to my room to relax for the rest of the night.

All the while, I couldn't help but wonder what the next few days would have in store for me. It was my first day and I've already made friends with my team, been involved in a fight, and earned the respect of many of the other Skylanders by winning it.

If this all happened in just day one, imagine what might happen in the next few days.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Sorry it was so long.

I really hoped you all enjoyed this chapter, I've tried my best to put enough detail and action in it for you. And if you want more action, then wait until the next chapter, the Skylanders are going to go toe-to-toe with one of the trappable villains from the new game, Skylanders Trap Team. It'll be one of the 3 villains in the Poll I've posted on my profile, go onto my profile and guess which one it is.

Speaking of Trap Team, two new Elements have been revealed. The symbols for them are a Sun and a Moon, probably a dark and light thing going on there. By the looks of it, we'll be getting 4 unknown figures and maybe some villains based on them, plus Adventure Packs.

If any of you are interested in following me on Tweet, PM me and I'll tell you my Twitter name.

Anyway, please remember to review or PM.

Next chapter will be up after the next chapter of A Wish Come True.
