1. Yes! Ha, ha!Copy !req
2. - Ah! It's good to be back.Copy !req
3. But don't you think
it's a little convenientCopy !req
4. that Spyro sent me on a totally pointless
mission with Captain Flynn?Copy !req
5. - Something with Spyro smells fishy.Copy !req
6. It's just the fish sticks
I ate for lunch.Copy !req
7. - Ugh.
- Look, I get it.Copy !req
8. Spyro went missingCopy !req
9. and mysteriously returned
looking and sounding differently,Copy !req
10. complete with new powers
and a preoccupied personality.Copy !req
11. But it's nothing to be suspicious about.Copy !req
12. We're talking about Spyro here!Copy !req
13. I know, but something
about all of this really stinks.Copy !req
14. And I'm not talking about your breath.Copy !req
15. Maybe you should talk
to Master Eon about it.Copy !req
16. After all, he knows Spyro
better than anyone.Copy !req
17. Master Eon and I don't really have
the same mentor-protégé bondCopy !req
18. that he and Spyro do.Copy !req
19. In fact, I don't really have
that kind of relationship with anyone.Copy !req
20. Well, why don't you just ask Eon
if he can take you under his wingCopy !req
21. and split time between you and Spyro?Copy !req
22. - Stealth Elf...Copy !req
23. I need you in the library, stat!Copy !req
24. And please hurry,
my schedule is filling upCopy !req
25. ever since I took that new protégé
under my wingCopy !req
26. and have to split time
between her and Spyro!Copy !req
27. Coming, sir.Copy !req
28. Yeah, definitely the fish sticks.Copy !req
29. Hmm, which look is more in keeping
with the new-and-improved evil Spyro?Copy !req
30. Bandana or spikes?Copy !req
31. Hey Stryks, which do you prefer?Copy !req
32. Say spikes, say spikes.Copy !req
33. I gave you one mission!Copy !req
34. Do you see the Map to Arkus in my hands?Copy !req
35. Do you even have hands?
From where I'm standing, you're all head!Copy !req
36. Enough! The time has come
to prove how evil you really are.Copy !req
37. Stealth Elf's suspicions have grown,
and I want her taken care of.Copy !req
38. You want me to destroy Stealth Elf?Copy !req
39. But she's my best friend!Copy !req
40. I mean, was my best friend.
Back when I had friends.Copy !req
41. Oh, I don't want you to destroy her.Copy !req
42. - I want you to turn her evil.Copy !req
43. Her instincts and tenacity
could be useful to us.Copy !req
44. But in order to complete this task,Copy !req
45. you must first procure
a possession of hersCopy !req
46. that she carries on her at all times.Copy !req
47. Hmm, she does have that Elvin bracelet
that she's pretty fond of.Copy !req
48. Perfect.Copy !req
49. I'll provide you with an evil spell
to incant over the bracelet.Copy !req
50. As soon as she puts it on,Copy !req
51. the spell will slowly begin
to devour her light,Copy !req
52. and make her our newest asset.Copy !req
53. Devour her light?Copy !req
54. This is your one chance
to prove your loyalty to the side of evil.Copy !req
55. So I'll be watching you.Copy !req
56. And go with the bandana.
The spikes are trying too hard.Copy !req
57. I'm not in trouble, am I?Copy !req
58. In my defense, I had no idea
my daggers weren't dishwasher-safe.Copy !req
59. No, you're not in trouble.Copy !req
60. Though we will be adding the bill
to your room and board.Copy !req
61. As you know, King Pen is still recoveringCopy !req
62. from the injuries he sustained
battling Strykore.Copy !req
63. But in order to fully heal,
he'll need sap from the Tree of Life.Copy !req
64. Kaossandra has volunteered
to make the journeyCopy !req
65. across the Skylands to retrieve it.Copy !req
66. It'll be an arduous two-day excursion
deep into the heart of darkness.Copy !req
67. But sometimes a girl
just needs to get away for the weekend.Copy !req
68. Tell me about it.Copy !req
69. But what exactly does this
have to do with me?Copy !req
70. I need someone to accompany me
on the mission,Copy !req
71. and I couldn't think of a more
qualified colleague than you, Elf.Copy !req
72. - Really?
- Absolutely.Copy !req
73. You've been so welcoming to me,Copy !req
74. and I look forward to having some time
to get to know you a little better.Copy !req
75. Plus, Eruptor gets car sick
and I just had the vehicles cleaned.Copy !req
76. Elf, feel free to take some timeCopy !req
77. - to think this over—
- I'm in!Copy !req
78. Then, it's settled!
You two have fun and get that sap...Copy !req
79. A-SAP!Copy !req
80. All right, Doom Raiders,
all hands on deck!Copy !req
81. What the heck? Where is everybody?Copy !req
82. All the other Doom Raiders
took off for Mother's Day,Copy !req
83. which is rapidly approaching.Copy !req
84. Like, it's right now.Copy !req
85. Is it Mother's Day already?Copy !req
86. I hadn't noticed because...
I-I definitely do not miss my mom at all!Copy !req
87. Well, guess it's just you
and me, Dreamcatcher,Copy !req
88. manning the ship
and not getting emotional about our moms.Copy !req
89. Yeah, I love my mom,Copy !req
90. but she exists
in another state of consciousness,Copy !req
91. - so it's just easier to mail her a gift.
- Ooh! What'd you get her?Copy !req
92. The shrieking nightmares
of a thousand children.Copy !req
93. - And a scarf.
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
94. Hey, wait a minute! That's me!Copy !req
95. The Skylands Times
wrote an article about me!Copy !req
96. I'm finally getting the recognition
I deserve for my evil exploits!Copy !req
97. Our evil exploits. But whatevs.Copy !req
98. And more importantly,
I'm sure mother will see thisCopy !req
99. and realize how I'm thriving without her.Copy !req
100. Let's see what praise
they heap upon me. Ha!Copy !req
101. "After recently commandeering
a Series-5 pirate ship,Copy !req
102. local madman Kaos..." That's me!Copy !req
103. "... began an all-out assault
on the SkylandsCopy !req
104. and has failed at every turn."Copy !req
105. What? Hey!Copy !req
106. What is this drivel?Copy !req
107. "... ridiculous..."Copy !req
108. "Idiot?"Copy !req
109. "Incompetent?"Copy !req
110. This isn't a puff piece!
It's a hatchet job!Copy !req
111. They deem my pirating skills "buffoonish!"Copy !req
112. Oh, I'll show those crooked reporters
who the real buffoons are!Copy !req
113. Oof!Copy !req
114. - You were saying?Copy !req
115. Okay, time for a little incantation.Copy !req
116. "Noctum semper vix..."Copy !req
117. Wait, is that word "momomo" or "owowow"?Copy !req
118. Eh. MomomoCopy !req
119. Whoops! Almost forgot my bracelet.Copy !req
120. Elf, are you in there?Copy !req
121. Just wanted to check on your ETA,
estimated time of awesome sauce.Copy !req
122. Sorry, I already hate myself
for saying that.Copy !req
123. - I'm all packed and ready to hit the road.
- Thanks again for tagging along.Copy !req
124. But to be honest, the real reason
I volunteered for this missionCopy !req
125. is because today is Mother's DayCopy !req
126. and it's the first year
I'm spending it without Kaos.Copy !req
127. I figured having you in the passenger seat
will make the journey a lot less lonely,Copy !req
128. and a lot more fun.Copy !req
129. You know, I've never had
a maternal figure in my life.Copy !req
130. I mean, I was raised by a tree.
Long story.Copy !req
131. Actually, it's short.
I was raised by a tree.Copy !req
132. But since it's Mother's Day and all,
would you accept this bracelet as a gift?Copy !req
133. Even though you're not with Kaos,
you're still a mom.Copy !req
134. That is so kind of you, Elf.Copy !req
135. All right! Let's do this thing!Copy !req
136. Now that I get to spend some time
with someone as experienced as you,Copy !req
137. I was hoping to get your advice on—Copy !req
138. Come on, you stupid piece of junk!Copy !req
139. Ah! Ugh!Copy !req
140. It's not starting!Copy !req
141. Okay, you all ready, dear?Copy !req
142. Uh...Copy !req
143. Sure.Copy !req
144. You know, like I was saying earlier,
something's been weighing on me,Copy !req
145. and I was hoping to get your advice.Copy !req
146. Of course, dear.
You can talk to me about anything.Copy !req
147. Okay, so, let's say you have
this dragon friend,Copy !req
148. and he's been acting
a little off, lately—Copy !req
149. - Anyway, like I was saying, this friend—Copy !req
150. So I'm not really sure
what I should do about the situation,Copy !req
151. because this friend has been acting— Oh.Copy !req
152. Acting really suspiciously,
and my gut is telling me to—Copy !req
153. Forget your gut, and focus on his gut!Copy !req
154. As in, sock him in the gut
till he squawks like a songbird!Copy !req
155. - What? Whoa!Copy !req
156. - But he's my friend.
- Oh, is he if he's lying to you?Copy !req
157. You've got to sweat the truth out of him.
Snitches or stitches!Copy !req
158. Or do you not have what it takes?Copy !req
159. I just think your method
is a little too "aggressive" for my taste.Copy !req
160. Well, if that's too aggressive for you,
you'll never hack it as a real Skylander!Copy !req
161. I thought you wanted me on this trip
because you thought highly of me.Copy !req
162. I even hoped
that maybe I could be your protégé.Copy !req
163. You'd need thick skin and a whole lot
of natural talent to work with me,Copy !req
164. and I haven't seen
either of those things from you.Copy !req
165. - I love you more.
- No, I love you more.Copy !req
166. That's not possible,
because I love you most.Copy !req
167. You know, if you just gave me a chance—Copy !req
168. - No bikes in the car lane!
- Kaossandra, what are you doing?Copy !req
169. Why are you fighting me on this, Gary?
I said I love you more!Copy !req
170. Well, you can't always have it
your way, Claire.Copy !req
171. I can't stand you anymore!Copy !req
172. Well, I can't you stand you anymore. More!Copy !req
173. Stupid tree came out of nowhere!Copy !req
174. I have a bone to pickCopy !req
175. with the Mabu responsible
for this dreck written about me!Copy !req
176. Someone is about to get
a piece of my mind,Copy !req
177. and as you can see,
I have a very big mind!Copy !req
178. Do you have an appointment?Copy !req
179. Hmm?Copy !req
180. - Uh, no.
- Sorry.Copy !req
181. Without an appointment,Copy !req
182. you and your big mind
are gonna have to waitCopy !req
183. - like everyone else.
- Huh?Copy !req
184. Kaz? You can go in now.Copy !req
185. It's Kaos.Copy !req
186. - So, you want to lodge a complaint?
- You bet I do.Copy !req
187. I came here to say that I...Copy !req
188. Actually, can I have a minute?Copy !req
189. The wait kind of deflated my rage balloon.Copy !req
190. - Knock yourself out.Copy !req
191. The Skylands Times is an abomination!Copy !req
192. How dare you spout
such blatantly fake news,Copy !req
193. so readily available
for anyone's estranged mother to read?Copy !req
194. But I'll have you know
I'm a very capable swashbuckler!Copy !req
195. Huh?Copy !req
196. That was totally planned,
because I am an evil genius!Copy !req
197. Everything I do is totally...Copy !req
198. calculated.Copy !req
199. "Yo-ho-ho
and a bottle of dumb."Copy !req
200. Wow. Guess you showed them.Copy !req
201. This means war.Copy !req
202. Hey, Spyro. Why the long snout?Copy !req
203. I don't know, Spyro.
I'm just feeling really off, you know?Copy !req
204. I do know! I'm you, remember?Copy !req
205. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
206. I mean, sentencing my best friend
to a life of evil brainwashing?Copy !req
207. It just makes me feel not good.Copy !req
208. "Not good" is good! You're evil, remember?Copy !req
209. Man, this is confusing.Copy !req
210. Look, don't sweat it.
Just stop thinking about Elf.Copy !req
211. How hard can that be?Copy !req
212. You're not fondly reminiscing
about the friend you betrayed, are you?Copy !req
213. No, of course not, sir!Copy !req
214. Okay, just checking.Copy !req
215. "Take a vacation," they said.
"It'll be fun," they said.Copy !req
216. "Kaossandra won't turn
into a raving lunatic," they said.Copy !req
217. I guess it is Mother's Day.Copy !req
218. And she's without her son.
Maybe I should cut her a break.Copy !req
219. Hey, Kaossandra?Copy !req
220. I'm sure we'll find another way to get to
the Tree of Life to complete our mission.Copy !req
221. We just need to find
another vehicle to get there.Copy !req
222. I'm sure we'll be fine.Copy !req
223. So no hard feelings
about the whole "crashing the car thing."Copy !req
224. That's what insurance is for.
And seat belts.Copy !req
225. - What are you talking about?
- You know.Copy !req
226. How you ran off the road
and crashed into a tree?Copy !req
227. Like, ten minutes ago?Copy !req
228. I did no such thing!Copy !req
229. Why are you making up lies about me?
Are you trying to gaslight me?Copy !req
230. Trying to make me look crazy?Copy !req
231. Well, I wouldn't have to try very hard.Copy !req
232. I will have you know that I am not crazy.Copy !req
233. What are you looking at, squirrel?Copy !req
234. Oh! Look! Nuts!Copy !req
235. I just love nature, don't you?Copy !req
236. Am I being filmed
for a prank show right now?Copy !req
237. - Uh-uh.
- Don't lag behind now.Copy !req
238. "Don't lag behind now."Copy !req
239. Look! Civilization!Copy !req
240. Maybe they can help us!
And bear witness to Kaossandra's crazy.Copy !req
241. Excuse me?Copy !req
242. We're Skylanders on a mission,
and our vehicle got wrecked when she...Copy !req
243. I mean, we ran it off the road.Copy !req
244. Do you have one that we can borrow?
It's urgent.Copy !req
245. - We do have a vehicle.
Great!Copy !req
246. - But you can't have it.
- Oh.Copy !req
247. - But you can borrow it.
- Great!Copy !req
248. - But not right now.
- Oh.Copy !req
249. - But you can—
- I'm going to stop you right there.Copy !req
250. What's the deal with your car?Copy !req
251. The vehicle and our entire village
are lorded overCopy !req
252. by the evil villain, Bomb Shell.Copy !req
253. He's enslaved our kind and forced us
to mine for Traptanium to fuel his bombs.Copy !req
254. If you want the vehicle,
first, you'll have to defeat Bomb Shell...Copy !req
255. - That's it.
- Great!Copy !req
256. Okay, Dreamcatcher, I need ideas
for daring feats I could pull offCopy !req
257. to secure a glowing review
from those hacks at the Skylands Times.Copy !req
258. Huh.Copy !req
259. I could rescue a damsel in distress.
Discover an undiscovered island.Copy !req
260. - Start a non-profit.
- Hey, Kaos, look at this.Copy !req
261. Is it an opportunity
to become famously infamous?Copy !req
262. Or better yet, infamously famous?Copy !req
263. - No, it's a chart.
- Oh.Copy !req
264. Every time the paper runs a story about
you being an idiot, their words, not mine,Copy !req
265. - the company's stock soars.
- So that means—Copy !req
266. The Skylands Times is making
a boatload of money off your incompetence!Copy !req
267. My words, not theirs.Copy !req
268. A "boatload," huh?Copy !req
269. If you make me a partner
in the Skylands Times,Copy !req
270. I'll give you exclusive access
to my pratfalls!Copy !req
271. Together, we'll make millions!Copy !req
272. Of dollars!Copy !req
273. Hmm. I'm intrigued.Copy !req
274. But how can you guarantee
you'll keep making a fool of yourself?Copy !req
275. What if you've peaked?Copy !req
276. He did just sit on a cactus.Copy !req
277. It's a deal!Copy !req
278. If you and I work together,Copy !req
279. we can defeat Bomb Shell,
free the gremlins,Copy !req
280. and make it to the Tree of Life
in time to help King Pen.Copy !req
281. - What do you say?
- I say we get this thing over withCopy !req
282. so I never have to hear
that cheery little fairy voice again!Copy !req
283. - Elf.
- Pick up the pace!Copy !req
284. I'm speed walking as fast as I can.Copy !req
285. A real Skylander knows the difference
between speed walking and speed trotting.Copy !req
286. - Clearly, you're not one.Copy !req
287. That's it! I can't take it anymore!Copy !req
288. I thought you could be my mentor.
But clearly I was mistaken.Copy !req
289. You've made this trip a total nightmare!Copy !req
290. I'm sorry, Elf, I haven't been feeling
like myself today, and I can't explain it.Copy !req
291. Maybe it's because I miss Kaos,
but that's no excuse.Copy !req
292. - I shouldn't be taking that out on you.
- Thank you for saying that.Copy !req
293. I mean it. From here on out,
I promise, I'll do better.Copy !req
294. Oh, there's Bomb Shell.Copy !req
295. I have a plan,
and it'll require us to work in tandem.Copy !req
296. But since we've come to an understanding,Copy !req
297. that shouldn't be a problem
for us two gals, right, Kaossandra?Copy !req
298. Help! This lady's crazy!Copy !req
299. That was not the plan.Copy !req
300. She's totally messing up
the feng shui in my shell!Copy !req
301. Kaossandra, that's enough!Copy !req
302. - Let's just grab the car and go.
- Yes! Just take it!Copy !req
303. Kaossandra, stop it!Copy !req
304. - Maybe bombs just aren't my thing!Copy !req
305. Nobody pulls me out of a fight
without a fight!Copy !req
306. What are you—?Copy !req
307. That's what this trip was all about.Copy !req
308. You wanted to get rid of me!Copy !req
309. - My instincts were wrong about you.Copy !req
310. You really are evil.Copy !req
311. - Two for the price of one?Copy !req
312. Don't mind if I do!Copy !req
313. Ha!Copy !req
314. Kaossandra, please!Copy !req
315. - Ah!Copy !req
316. What... what happened? Where am I?Copy !req
317. The bracelet!Copy !req
318. As soon as you put it on,
you started acting like a raving lunatic!Copy !req
319. - No offense.
- It must have been cursed.Copy !req
320. Then lucky me for breaking it.
What a coincidence!Copy !req
321. Yeah. What were you even doing out here?Copy !req
322. Oh! Uh, you know,
I just needed to get some fresh air.Copy !req
323. - We're a hundred miles from campus.
- Yeah, that's where all the best air is.Copy !req
324. But if this bracelet was cursed,Copy !req
325. it means someone was trying
to turn you evil, Elf.Copy !req
326. But who?Copy !req
327. I know only one person
who would benefit from this.Copy !req
328. - Strykore.Copy !req
329. Strykore! Man, that guy
just doesn't stop, does he?Copy !req
330. Thanks, Spyro.
At least I know I can always count on you.Copy !req
331. Well, that's what friends are for.Copy !req
332. Now let's go find that Tree of Life.Copy !req
333. All I have to do
is continue to make a fool of myself,Copy !req
334. and we'll be sailing in dough!Copy !req
335. This exclusive access
is really gonna pay off.Copy !req
336. So, uh, what's the first step here?Copy !req
337. Patience, my friend.Copy !req
338. You can't rush genius
or the complete lack of.Copy !req
339. Just give me a minute to think.
Huh?Copy !req
340. - Huh. I wonder what that thing does.
- It releases the cannonballs.Copy !req
341. Oh! Those cannonballs just annihilated
the front of that building down there!Copy !req
342. Check it out! Captain Kaos strikes again!Copy !req
343. - Ch-ching!
- That building was the publishing office!Copy !req
344. Do you have any idea
how much that will cost to repair?Copy !req
345. Uh...Copy !req
346. - No.
- Well, you will!Copy !req
347. Because as a partner
of the Skylands Times,Copy !req
348. you'll be paying for half of it!Copy !req
349. Eh, Dreamy, you don't have to tell
the other Doom Raiders about thisCopy !req
350. when they return, do you?Copy !req
351. I don't have to. But I will.Copy !req
352. Well, mission accomplished. Eventually.Copy !req
353. I'll go bring Master Eon the sap...Copy !req
354. A-SAP!Copy !req
355. Eon already made that pun.Copy !req
356. Man! We are like a hive mind, me and him.Copy !req
357. Elf, I'm so sorry
I mistreated you like I did.Copy !req
358. Although, to be fair, I was under
the hypnotic possession of a braceletCopy !req
359. cursed with dark magic and had no control
over my mental or physical actions.Copy !req
360. Boy, that takes me back to high school.Copy !req
361. I should've known that something was offCopy !req
362. when you started acting
stranger than usual.Copy !req
363. I knew you couldn't be evil at heart.Copy !req
364. You know, even though I did miss Kaos
this Mother's Day,Copy !req
365. it was really nice to have some company.Copy !req
366. In my few moments of lucidity,Copy !req
367. it felt like I was spending the day
with a younger version of myself.Copy !req
368. Really? You think I'm like you?Copy !req
369. You've got skill,
curiosity, and determination.Copy !req
370. But what really makes you special
are your instincts.Copy !req
371. Always trust your gut, Elf,
wherever it may lead you.Copy !req
372. So, I heard a certain someone named youCopy !req
373. was rescued
by a certain someone named Spyro.Copy !req
374. I told you
there was nothing fishy going on.Copy !req
375. More like something chicken-y
going on, am I right?Copy !req
376. You're right.
Spyro saved my life.Copy !req
377. But we still don't know
who Strykore got to curse my bracelet.Copy !req
378. I mean, it could be anyone.Copy !req
379. But how did Spyro know
to come save me in the first place?Copy !req
380. If Kaossandra could be turned evil,
then so could Spyro.Copy !req
