Three hours had passed before one of my brothers came home. Guess who.

"YO! LITTLE SIS LITTLE SIS! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

Razor Jack.

"I'm in the forbidden room! And no! I mean my room!" Bone yawned while I continued to read the magazine I picked up at random a couple minutes back.

"I DON'T ALWAYS CONFUSE THE TWO BRAWLY!"

A growl vibrated in my throat. Eon did I hate that nickname! I'm too old for that stuff now.

It wasn't long before Razor Jack opened my door, knocking on it. "Knock knock. Can I come in?"

"You're already inside."

"You're not even looking at me."

"I don't need to. You always do the same thing when you want to visit."

"…I not becoming dull am I?"

"Well considering you still use the same routine, yes."

Razor Jack stared at me before shrugging, stepping into my room and closing the door, smiling all the while.

"So, how ya doing sis?"

"Oh you mean other than the fact that once Blood gets home, I'm sure to be grounded for life? I'm great! Just dandy!"

"…Brawl, are you okay?" He came closer to my bed, looking at me concerned.

"Yeah, I'm just feel peachy!"

"Brawl." He stood at the end of my bed. "You can tell me what's wrong." I brought the magazine closer to my face, pretending not to hear him. The bed squeaked as Razor Jack sat on the end. "Roller Brawl, come on. You can tell me. I'm listening."

"…" Glancing at him, then back at the magazine, I sighed, tossing the article away and sat up. "I'm just…angry. That's all."

"At what?"

"You guys."

He looked a little taken back at this comment. "What?"

"You all keep babying me. Like I'm a helpless little girl who can't do anything without help. You guys…you guys just…hover over me."

"Brawl, we do not hover over you. We just watch over you and take care of you. Right Bone?"

We glanced over at Bone, who was curled up on my pillow sleeping away.

"…you are no help at all."

"Meow."

"Okay now you're just pretending to sleep aren't you?!"

I giggled. Bone had little to zero respect for my brothers and anyone else aside from me.

"Look, Brawl." Razor reached out and grabbed my hands, squeezing them. "We're just afraid that we'll lose you. Do you even know how many Undead are taken or killed each attack? We don't want you to be one of them." He looks me straight in the eyes. "You're our only sister. Our youngest sibling. And the thought of you being out there. It scares us."

"…" I was…surprised. I know they can be scared if there was an attack going on but…none of them ever told me in person of how they felt.

"Brawl, we only want what's best for you. And even if we are a bit over protective, we just want to make sure you're safe and happy."

"…" Wordlessly, I grabbed him and pulled him into a hug. I felt him flinch. No surprise why. I hadn't hugged any of my brothers in years. I won't even let them hug me. But, this was exception. Razor Jack, even if he's crazy at times, he knows what to say to me. He understands when someone needs the right words to be said to them and a voice of reason. He's a good friend and a good big brother when he needed to be.

It was a while before his arms wrapped around me, hesitating a bit.

"Ah Roll, I'm sorry that…that we hover over you or anything. We love you. And we don't want to lose or see you hurt in anyway."

"…I know."

We kept hugging each other for a few minutes till Razor pulled away, rubbing his eyes.

"I uh, ahem, I-I have something my eyes." He looked away. After about thirty seconds he sighed and got up. "Alright, so, we good?"

I smiled, nodding. "We're good."

"Great! Now, ah, I haven't told Blood or the rest of the bro's yet, buuuuuuut I sorta, kinda, maybe, probably, not a hundred percent sure." He started pacing, something he did if he did something he knew he would get himself in trouble for. "But I may have convinced a Skylander to take you to—"

"To the Skylander meeting dome?!" I shouted, jumping off the bed and onto my feet. He was kidding right?! The Skylanders are legendary! Not only are they keepers of peace, but they have incredible power.

"Yep! But don't tell the guys about this. I could get in reeeeaaaaaal big trouble for this!" He whispered.

"Oh believe me, I won't! So who did you convince to take me?" The smile I had on my face slowly turned into a frown when I saw the grin on his face. Oh no. He only grins like that if he's about to do something stupid. "Raz, what are you thinking?" He didn't answer me, he just walked by me to my window, opening it wide open before turning around to face me again with that grin still on his face. "Bro, I know that look anywhere. What are you—?"

"BUNZI!"

My mouth literally hit the floor as Razor Jack JUMPED BACKWARDS OUT MY WINDOW!

"RAZOR JACK!" I screamed, running to the window. Out of all the stupidest things he does, this one could kill him! My room is way high up off the ground. A fall from this height can break all his bones! "RAZOR…Jack." …oh by Eon you have GOT to be kidding me.

"Why didn't the Air, Fire, Earth, and the Tech elements notify the rest of the elements earlier? We would have been glad to help." Cynder looked at Whirlwind as they sat on top of a hill that over looked the docks.

"They would've if they could. The messengers have been too terrified to actually go out and notify anyone. The first two attacks we didn't think much of at all, but when they got attack a third night in a row, that's when the real worry settled in."

Cynder nodded, gazing out over the docks. "How bad are these attacks?"

"Pretty bad." Whirlwind hung her head as her ears drooped. "They're relentless. We lose more innocent people each attack." She twisted her head to look away. "They got Twisty too."

Cynder gazed at her friend, sadness over coming her original look. "Twisty?"

Whirlwind nodded, tears brimming in her eyes.

"…oh. Oh Whirlwind, I'm so so sorry. I didn't know."

"It's alright. I…I know she wouldn't want me to morn over her all the time and would want me to keep heading on." She sighed, looking up to the sky. "But can't help but feel it's a bit my fault for not being there for her."

"Whirl, I know what you're feeling. But we can't help these losses. We lose go people thanks to these monsters." Cynder glared out to the open sky. "And if we don't stop them, more and more will die at their terror."

"…yeah…uh, Cyn?"

"Yes?"

"Are Ghost Roaster and Chop Chop suppose to be fighting each other?"

"WHAT?!"

Whirlwind jumped back, avoiding Cynder's wings. Cynder growled, electricity sparking in her mouth.

"I Thought I Told You Two No FIGHTING!" With an angry roar she took to the air, flying down to the docks.

Whirlwind watched her friend before looking at the docks herself. The docks were the place where air ships could dock in on the edge of the floating island. Most ships were simple boats with sails and propellers to steer. But one ship stood out from the rest. At the end of the dock, anchored and tied into place, was the biggest ship anyone has ever seen. It mainly looked like a pirate ship. A broken, rotting, black, torn, creeky, run down, old no wait, ancient, pirate ship. An excellent Undead transportation. But to Whirlwind, it was the creepiest thing she was looking at.

"OooOoOo." She shivered. "It's a good thing I have wings." Spreading her wings out, she took to the sky.

"I TOLD YOU BOTH TO NOT FIGHT ON THE WAY TO THE MEETING AND WHAT DID YOU DO?! YOU TWO GO AND FIGHT! WHEN THIS MEETING IS DONE YOU BETTER BE PREPARED FOR THE WORST CAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO BE MERCIFUL!"

Night Shift cringed as Cynder yelled at the two unfortunate Skylanders. He didn't exactly feel sorry for them, but he did pity anyone caught in Cynder's rages. It was not a pretty sight to see. Even for an Undead.

"If anything goes right for once, it might just be a good day." He sighed.

First there was a Nightmare attack, then there was the accident, then Whirlwind came with bad news, and now there was going to be two new graves to add once they got back. Joyous. What else could go wrong today? An earthquake?

"Alright, is everyone here?!" Cynder called out, gazing around the deck. "Where's Eye Brawl?"

"WAIT! HOLD UP! DON'T LEAVE YET!"

The docks started to shake as the sound of something pounding on the ground gradually became louder and louder. THUD! THUD! THUD!

Night Shift groaned, burying his face in his glove. "For the love of."

The source of the sound and the ground shake was caused by none other than the one being that was missing from the ship. Eye Brawl was, to say at least, a giant. Black was the color of his armor with a few gold trims, and his whole head was an eye ball with bat wings.

"WAIT FOR ME! WAIT FOR ME!"

"We are waiting on him." A ghoul with a chain ball tail sighed, also known as Ghost Roaster.

"You leave a guy behind one time and he always worries that he'll be left behind again. Unbelievable." An Undead elf sighed, petting the skull of a bird like skeleton.

Luckily for them, the slight earthquake ceased as Eye Brawl finally came to a stop next to the ship.

"Whew! Close one." He sighed, carefully stepping onto the ship to avoid crushing anyone by mistake.

"You did know we weren't going to leave without you, right?" Cynder eyed up at the giant. "You are kind of hard to miss."

"Can't be too careful."

"Right, right. Alright, let's set sail!" Taking to the sky again, she flew out into the open air, joining Whirlwind.

"Dock Departure!"

"Dock Departure!"

Werewolves on the dock grabbed the rope that tied the ship into place, loosening their grips on the poles till they came undone. Onboard, Skylanders went about, opening the sails and checking to make sure everything was in place. Night Shift watched all the hustle and bustle, leaning against the rail with crossed 'arms'. On the steering deck controlling the wheel was a female hexer, using her dark powers to spin the wheel and guide the ship out of the docks.

Eye Brawl glanced out at the shrinking land, shaking his head and sighed.

So far, so good.

"Blood brother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine you two." Blood grunted, lifting a wooden pole off the ground single handedly. "What makes you ask?"

"You have been distantly quiet since this morning. Tell us brother, what troubles you so greatly?" Dead Note questioned, following their brother.

Blood remained quiet, slowly walking with the thick pole resting on his shoulder.

"Brother?"

"…" He sighed, placing the pole down next to a pile of cut up wood. "It's Brawl."

"You worry for sister?"

"How can't I? She…"

"She's, what?"

"…she…" He sighed, shaking his head. "…I don't know. I, really don't know."

"Don't know?"

"I don't know…if I can keep her safe."

"Safe?"

"Safe form herself."

The twins blinked, looking at each other before back to Blood. "How so?"

"Do you not know the damage she does when she goes out unattended? Or what danger she gets in? I'm telling you." He headed off, seeing to the repairs to be inspected. "That girl is like a magnet for trouble."

The twins watched their eldest brother go, standing there in silence before looking at one another.

"Magnet for trouble?"

"Or magnet for her?"

This! Is!

AWESOME!

I can't believe I'm actually going to go and see the Skylander Meeting Dome! Granted I won't be able to in the place, but I can at least see it! That's cool, right?

"Roller Brawl! Be quiet!"

My hands went over my mouth and my eyes widen a bit. Was I squealing like a fan girl or something? Well whatever! I'm still going to see the place! Oh if only Razor Jack was here right now, I could kiss him! No, wait, no. Not a chance. But still, this is the best thing any of my brothers have done for me! Ever!

Skylanders are Legendary! The guardians of Skyland! The keepers of peace! Protectors of the innocent! I could go on and on if I wanted to!

…okay. I really do sound like a fan girl.

"Brawl, you know what to do when we get there right?"

"Of course!" I whispered, trying to keep my excitement in check. "I just have a look around the place on the outside while you and the other Skylanders are inside having your meeting. And when it's over, you come and get me so we can leave then head back to my place before the rest of my brothers notice that I'm missing."

"And don't forget, you can not be noticed. By anyone! If anyone finds you there, you'll be in the worst of troubles!"

"I'll be fine. I've snuck in and out of my home plenty of times not to be noticed, so it should be easy for me."

"Right. Easy."

I rolled my eyes. "It'll be alright. And even if I do get caught, I won't tell them that you snuck me here."

"…"

"It'll be fine."

There was a slight pause before I heard him groan. "Fine. But you better not be bluffing about telling anyone that I brought you here."

"Cross my dead heart."

He sighed again, but that was all he did. The rest of the time was quiet. Real quiet. No sound or anything aside from the noise I hear outside of my hiding place. If I had a living heart, I bet I would be able to hear it beating right now.

"Brawl."

My body jumped, relaxing only slightly when I realized who was talking to me. "Yeah?"

"We're almost there, so get ready."

"Right!" I got ready, clenching my hands into fists. This is it. A big time dream about to come true. No turning back now.

The Skylander Meeting Dome is one of many places that only Skylanders are allowed in. Strictly Skylanders only place. Outsiders are not allowed in at any circumstance. Until today.

"All clear?"

"Yep. Nobody's around except us. So you can come out of there now."

"Good! It's cramped in here!"

"Oh calm down, let me just." Metal clicked and the dark area I was concealed in was suddenly filled with light.

"AH! Too Bright! Too Bright!" I screamed, trying as best as I could to block the sun's rays from my eyes. Seriously, why wasn't there an on or off switch for the thing?!

"Op, sorry. Let me just."

The brightness of the sun was blocked out. Blinking a couple times to get my eyes back to normal, a sigh escaped my lips. "Why does it have to be such a bright day today?" Growling as I shifted my body till my legs dangled out of the hiding compartment. "Thanks for letting me hide in there Eye."

"No problem."

I smiled up at Eye Brawl, jumping onto his open palm that he brought up to his chest with ease before getting down to the ground when he lowered his hand close enough to it.

"Okay, now remember, only look on the outside of this place. I'll come pick you up at that stairwell." He pointed off in some direction.

I followed where he was pointing at and almost did twenty takes. Stairwell? It was more of a tower than a stairwell! Granted though, I think the stairs are inside the thing but, THAT TOWER WAS AT LEAST A HUNDRED TIMES TALLER THAN MY OWN TOWER!

"…Stairwell?"

"Yeah, yeah, I know. It's more of a tower. But trust me, there's stairs in there."

"…riiight…SEE YA!" And just like that, I was off before you could say fire, running to who knows where.

"JUST REMEMBER TO MEET ME AT THE TOWER! AND DON'T GET CAUGHT BY ANYONE!"

"I WON'T!" My smile was practically taking half of my face right now. Now, where should I go look first?

It was silent, ovoid of any noise of any kind. Once in a while thought, soft sounds of wings flapping against the air vibrated against the smooth stone walls of the hall. Each beat of the wings were quiet as the individual was in no hurry or rush. A soft sigh came out and the pattern of the wing beats came to a close as the individual landed, creating sharp clicking sounds as her feet landed on the marble white stone, folding her wings to her back comfortably. She continued on foot, letting her claws click with each step she took, swinging her tail side to side and held her head high and proud.

On occasion she stole a few side-way glances on the walls as she passed, glimpsing at just a minimal time of seeing the paintings and pictures that hung straight and inline on the walls. Each picture held different Skylander, each different in power and species, but held great and high respect. A notable factor about the paintings as she passed was that each Skylander in them was from the Air element.

The Air element. Rulers of the sky and masters of the weather in Skyland. The Air was a proud race, one that could live in the sky with no boundaries maintained the balance in keeping check of the seasons. Where ever the wind blew, they would follow.

Her green eyes went back to focusing ahead, bringing her pace to a stop at a pair of giant doors. The doors were light blue in color, decorated in swirls that covered each door evenly with the main Air symbol in the center of both doors. Without word, she touched the symbol, feeling the rush of Air magic following through her and into the door. The symbol gave off a soft glow of brilliant radiant colors before it jerked, slowly turning counterclockwise as she took her paw off it. It made a full 360 degrees, clicking to a stop where it had started and parted way. Ruffling her fur a tad, she stepped in as a conversation was underway as the doors behind her closed on their own.

"These attacks are getting us nowhere! Every Nightmare attack we face, more and more innocent lives are taken away and we can do nothing to stop it!"

Her entry went unnoticed as no one acknowledged her presence yet. She went over to a available seat, made of clouds pacifically for Air Skylanders, getting comfortable before laying down with her forelegs crossed and listened to the conversation.

"And what's worse, my feathers haven't been preened in forever!"

Collective groans went out, few even complained at the speaker's engrossment of himself.

"Sunburn, we are not here to talk about your looks. We are here to discuss the matter of attack on the Air, Fire, Earth, and Tech elements."

Sunburn, the only phoenix/dragon hybrid Skylander, huffed, ruffling his feathers slightly in annoyance. Most of his body was instinctive dragon parts as his main body, legs, and the three spikes on the back of his head had those features. But his feet, beak, wings, and his tail held that of a phoenix. Blazing red was his main body color with blue on his underbelly and around his ember eyes. "I was getting to that, Flameslinger! I just wanted to voice my discomfort of these horrid attacks in my view."

Flameslinger, a member of the Fire element, said nothing as he stood still in the respective side with the rest of the Fire elements. He was an elf, skin green and had his dark blue hair held up in order to keep it out of his face. Though, it would be highly doubtful that would be any hindrance as his eyes were covered by a red blindfold. He wore archers artier with a golden crossbow and quiver resting on his back.

"Now then, where was I? Oh yes! My feath—"

"SKIP TO THE IMPORTANT PART ALREADY! WE DIDN'T COME HERE TO BE BORED TO DEATH BY YOUR COMPLAINTS!" Night Shift shouted from the far side of the room. He stood all by himself and far from the others as, the way he put it, wanted to keep to himself.

Sunburn turned to glare at the vampire, opening his mouth to shout when someone clamped it shut. "Night Shift is right. We need to be focusing on what we should be doing about these attacks." The person was, at most, a living, breathing suite of armor with fire burning in his insides.

"Thank you, Blast Zone." A Tech Skylander came down, patting the furnace knight on the back, but only a moment so he would not get hurt by the heat he gave off. The Tech was, by far, unique. The upper half of his body was consist of human figure, but his lower half said different as he had four spider like legs. Spy gear goggles sat on his forehead as a grappling hook sat on his left wrist.

Blast Zone nodded, dragging the hot head bird back over to the respective element.

"Now, is there anyone who has at least some news on these attacks?"

Hands went up and the Tech gazed around. His eyes scanned each individual till he stopped on a particular Air Skylander. "Hmm…you, Scratch." He pointed at her.

Scratch blinked, looking around before pointing at herself.

"Yes you. I got a feeling that you have something on your mind you want to share."

"…you know me pretty well Spy Rise."

"Of course I do." Spy Rise smirked.

Scratch shook her head slightly, looking at everyone around her through her golden mask. "…last night during the attack, I've notice two things during the course of the three previous nights. The first being that the Nightmares seemed to be mainly focused on our defense. Doing whatever they can to get to our strongest members, taking risks in getting close to our medical wing. They seemed to want to weaken us at any cost. Second…it was just one or two attempts, but…the Nightmare were focused on the main tower. We were able to manage to keep them at bay and keep the tower safe for now. But I suspect they were after something. Something important."

Whispers went quietly amongst the Skylanders, pondering on this new information. Spy Rise, adding this info to his interior knowledge, nodded his head at Scratch, turning to the rest of the Skylanders. "As this info is shocking, I must speak out for the Techs that we also have had the same attack pattern on our home. And I can assume that both Fire and Earth had similar battles." He glanced at the two elements, receiving nods and murmurs of agreement. "Then it is safe to say that these attacks have been, as one could say, not at random. No. I believe that these attacks have been planned out, strategies, thought through. These attacks by the Nightmare are clearly saying something." Spy Rise stated, pacing the floor with his hands clasped behind his back with the others following his every move and word. "But then there would leave the big question. Why? Why attack the main towers? Why go after the defenses? And why are they persistent on doing the same attacks?" He stopped, holding his chin. "…I have a theory. I believe that something may be ordering these monsters to attack us."

"Ordering to attack us? That's insane! No one can control those beasts!"

Waves of agreement rang throughout the air. Spy Rise remained unfazed as he turned to face them.

"As I have said earlier, it was only a theory. I am not certain that they are being controlled, or maybe even not following orders, and are just following on whim."

"Spideys right! You can't just get mad at him for his idea-ma-thingy!"

Spy Rise's eyes went wide before groaning and hold his face. "Theory, Fire Kraken. Theory." He gritted his teeth, forcing his willpower to not strangle someone.

"That's what I said!" A small mass of yellow, red, and blue hopped over to him from the Fire element. "Idea-ma-thingy!"

Fire Kraken, everyone's favorite firework maniac, was to say a dragon. In some ways. He didn't have wings, as he was more Asian dragon, donned with samurai like gear. Twirling in one hand was a baton used as both weapon and fireworks displays.

"Th. Eor. Ry!" Spy Rise glared at the grinning dragon. "It's theory."

"Fire Kraken, leave Spy Rise alone." Blast Zone came forward, reaching out to grab the firework pro.

"No!" And before anyone could stop him, Fire Kraken latched himself onto one of Spy Rise's legs.

"GA! Get him off! Get him off this instant!" Spy Rise screamed, trying to shake his 'pest' off his leg as Fire Kraken giggled like he was in a ride. Blast Zone immediately went to his aid, grabbing Fire Kraken and tried to pull him off. Fire Kraken's grip though was ten times stronger than what he expected. Soon it became a tug-a-war, or, tug-a-leg game that Spy Rise was not enjoying by the slightest.

The others however had mixed feelings on the scene before them. Some laughed and pointed at the robots misfortune as well as Fire Krakens kid-like behavior, while the more serious Skylanders could only sigh and shake their heads, though a few did find this amusing.

Spy Rise was flailing his arms about, yelling at both Fire Kraken and Blast Zone, clearly ready to kill someone. Blast Zone had only managed to pry the end of Fire Krakens tail off the robots leg and was trying to pull the dragon off. With no success. Fire Kraken just held on, grinning at his game. Not a moment after, Rattle Shake and a few others came to the furnace knights rescue.

Night Shift stared at the chaos unfolding before him. First the meeting was going smoothly, then this?

"GET HIM OFF ME! NIGHT SHIFT! HELP ME OUT AND GET THIS PEST OFF ME!"

Night Shift remained unfazed and unmoving. He sighed as the three kept on their little game. "This day just keeps getting better." He rubbed the side of his head.

THIS DAY JUST GOT BETTER!

The Skylander Meeting Dome is exactly how the stories described it as! The dome was as tall as five castles! The island was rich and thick with plant life! The air was clean and clear! And the place feeled like it was lost in time! Awesome!

I basically had a whole lay down of the place in my mind, so this girl isn't forgetting this place anytime soon!

…although.

My eyes wondered back over at the tower. It was just a little ways off from the dome. And basically, it did seem to just be a tower. Sooooo.

There's no harm in peeking, is there?

Read and review and tell me what you think!
