Chapter Eight

Big Bad Ice Bomb

Grim Creeper couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Wizbit,” the reaper pleaded. “He’s tricking you. Surely you can see that?”

The Mabu scratched behind his ear with his staff. “All I know is that Kaos told me that you would arrive, claiming to be Skylanders. Claiming to be my friends.”

“We are,” said Eruptor.

“Liars!” snapped Kaos. “I know you are agents of the Nightmare King, sent to capture brave Wizbit and stop him from carrying out his plan. I know the truth.”

“Truth?” exploded Eruptor. “You wouldn’t know the truth if it crept up and bit you on the bottom!”

“You leave my bottom out of this!” Kaos yelled. “Evil burns in your hearts, all three of you. I know it, and so does little Wizbit here.”

“Burns in my heart?” Eruptor scoffed, unable to keep his temper under control anymore. He was steaming, quite literally. “I’ll show you what burning really means.”

A deep rumble could be heard from Eruptor’s body. The other two Skylanders tried to inch away from their fiery friend, knowing what was about to happen. Eruptor was about to live up to his name and erupt into a pool of boiling lava. It would be worth it. As soon as the magma burned through Wizbit’s rope they would be able to teach Kaos a lesson once and for all.

Eruptor screamed, the rumbling reaching a climax. “I came, I saw—and I burned!”

Slam Bam screwed his eyes shut, ready for the scalding lava to roll over him, but nothing happened. He opened one eye to check, but could only see Kaos snicker to himself.

“What’s the matter, Eruptor?” the evil Portal Master asked. “Get cut off in full flow?”

“I—I don’t understand,” Eruptor said, looking down at the ropes as they glistened in the gloom of the cave. “Why can’t I erupt?”

“Those ropes do more than bind you,” Wizbit explained sadly. “They stop you from using your powers.”

“You are as helpless as a newborn sugar bat!” Kaos sneered. “Finally, I have you where I want you, FOOLS!”

“See?” said Grim Creeper, pleading with Wizbit to believe them. “Kaos just wants to stop us from stopping him. He’s using you, Wizbit. Don’t trust him!”

Wizbit looked at his accomplice. “Do they speak the truth, Kaos? Are you just using me?”

Kaos rested a hand on the Mabu’s shoulder.

“See how they seek to confuse you, old friend? If I was using you, why would I have promised to sneak you inside King Nefarion’s castle?”

“He’s promised you what?” Slam Bam asked.

Wizbit looked down at his sandals. “I shouldn’t say.”

“No,” Kaos said. “Do it. Talk me through your BRILLIANT plan, one more time.”

Wizbit looked nervously at the Skylanders, who were still trying to break out of the impossibly tight ropes. “You mean, in front of them?”

“They are powerless,” jeered Kaos. “Thanks to you. Tell them how you will defeat their master once and for all! Tell them how they’ve FAILED!”

Wizbit nodded. “Very well.” He wiggled his nose and a bomb appeared in the air, floating in front of him.
