The Magic Inside Of Us

Chapter 1: A Call For Help

Rachel turned over as she dozed, snuggling into her pillow and pulling the covers closer to her chin. Crystal, her little sister, was beside her, also snuggling into her pillow and burrowing deep under the covers. In another bed, Kairi was sleeping soundly and Amelia was snoring lightly from her bed on the other side of Rachel and Crystal's bed. As they slept, a soft whoosh filled the air, but it was so gentle that it didn't wake the four up. A light brown cloud that was sparkling appeared over Amelia and gently rested over her. She shifted in her sleep, but didn't awaken.

The same happened to Rachel, Crystal, and Kairi as clouds of red-and-white, rainbow, and light blue colors settled over them respectively, making them stir, but not awaken.

Rachel felt herself enter a dream-like state and she heard a voice whisper softly to her. "Can you hear me?" It asked. "You have to help us."

She stirred, but didn't open her eyes. "Please," the voice begged before it suddenly grew in intensity. "HELP!"

That jolted the Tech Portal Master out of a sound sleep and she screamed in surprise, making the other three girls scream in surprise as they were jolted awake by her scream.

As all four girls tried to catch their breaths and make sense of their surroundings, the door burst open and Spellslamzer and Thumpback came barging in, looking ready to go into protective mode. "What happened?" The tall Spell Punk asked, going over to the two sisters and Amelia while Thumpback went over to Kairi.

"We don't know," Amelia said. "I heard a scream and woke up."

"Me too," Kairi said.

"Me too," Crystal said as they all looked at Rachel, who looked dazed.

"Sorry," she said, trying to get her senses back. "I...I heard a voice."

She sat up, feeling Spellslamzer place a hand on her back. "I must have been hallucinating," the girl admitted a moment later.

"You heard a voice?" Amelia said. "I did too."

Rachel looked at her and she nodded. "It was a female and she said she needed help, but...I couldn't understand what she meant."

"Mine was male," the older girl said. "He said they needed help and then he screamed 'help' and that scared me as it was suddenly loud."

Crystal looked a bit scared. "I heard something too, but it sounded friendly," she said. "Though I don't know who it was."

Kairi looked curious. "I heard something too, but the voice sounded familiar," she admitted.

Spellslamzer and Thumpback looked at each other. "Okay, it's not coincidence that you and I hear voices and the girls do too," the whale said. "Something's going on."

Crystal looked up at her Spell Punk partner. "You heard something too?" She asked.

"Yes," he said, picking her up and holding her in one arm while scooping up Rachel and Amelia in his other arm. "Come on. I think we all need to talk to Master Eon about this."

"What do you think it could be?" Kairi asked, holding onto her man.

"Don't worry, my mermaid," the whale said soothingly, giving her a gentle kiss. "Master Eon will know and we'll get to the bottom of this mystery."

Rachel remembered she was still in her pajamas, as were her sister and friends. "Wait, let's get dressed first," she said.

A quick step into the magical changing curtains the girls had in the room and they came out looking ready for the day. Kairi was wearing a blue t-shirt with blue jeans and blue sneakers, her long brown hair hanging down her back. Amelia wore a gray shirt and black jeans with black sneakers with her blonde hair done in a braid, Crystal wore a green shirt and green jeans with white sneakers with part of her hair pulled back into a ponytail while the rest hung freely down her back and two flower sparkling barrettes, one on either side, finished the look and Rachel wore a purple t-shirt with black jeans and dark-blue sneakers, her hair done back into a French braid. "Let's grab some breakfast on the way to Master Eon's office," Amelia suggested.

"Good idea," Spellslamzer said. "I'm starved."

Ghost Roaster had made donuts that morning and the four girls and two Skylanders grabbed some before heading down the hall, the Spell Punk using his magic to make hot chocolate for the girls and his friend. "Thanks, Spells," Kairi said gratefully.

Rachel took a sip. "Oh, just what I needed," she sighed happily.

Master Eon was outside his office speaking to Hugo when he saw the group come up to him. "Ah, you must have felt your ears burning," he said with a smile.

Crystal looked confused. "My ears aren't burning," she said, feeling them to be sure.

Amelia giggled. "It's just a saying, Crystal," she said gently. "What Master Eon means is that he was just thinking about us, no doubt going to look for us too."

"Does it have to do with the voices we heard?" Kairi asked.

"Yes," Master Eon said. "And what happened to you prior to your waking up."

They went into his office and he waved his hand in front of a viewing crystal. "Look," he said softly.

The view split into six different angles, showing the four girls, the Spell Punk, and the whale all sound asleep as clouds of something sparkly landed on them, each cloud a different color. A green cloud landed gently on Thumpback while a purple-and-pink one landed gently on Spellslamzer. "So I did feel some kind of magic," the Spell Punk said. "But I don't recognize it."

"And the colors are all different," Rachel pointed out. "What is it?"

Master Eon smiled gently before his face took on a grave state. "Are any of you familiar with Candy Land?" He asked.

Kairi gasped as she perked up. "Queen Frostine!" She exclaimed. "That's who I heard!"

"Candy Land?" Rachel asked before smiling. "I haven't played that game in a long time."

"What is Candy Land?" Crystal asked.

"It's a board game where players have to reach the Candy Castle," Amelia said with a smile.

"There's also a computer version too," Kairi said. "You have to help the inhabitants of Candy Land and they'll give you treats that you give to Gloopy at the Candy Castle and he'll help you, but you have to be careful of Lord Licorice, who doesn't want you to reach Candy Castle to get candy for the rest of Candy Land."

"Yes," Master Eon said before looking grave again. "I'm afraid Kaos has gone and teamed up with Lord Licorice this time to take over Candy Land."

They all gasped. "If he and Licorice take over Candy Land, they could possibly start conquering other parts of Skylands," Thumpback said in horror.

"The magic I sensed that settled on us felt strong," Spellslamzer said.

Master Eon nodded again. "The six protectors of Candy Land have given you six their powers," he said. "These powers will allow them to communicate with you as they are now part of you and you carry their hopes within you."

He now held up his staff. "As I call your name, come forward," he continued. "Kairi."

The Water Portal Master stepped up. "Kairi, you have Queen Frostine's magic within you and she has entrusted you with it. Use it wisely."

The brown-haired girl nodded seriously as Master Eon continued calling them.

"Crystal, you have Princess Lolli's magic; Amelia, you have Grandma Nutt's magic; Thumpback, you have Plumpy's magic; Spellslamzer, you have Jolly's magic; and last but not least, Rachel, you have Mr. Mint's magic."

Rachel's eyes widened. "The colors of the magics that we felt," she said. "They're the colors that the protectors represent, right?"

"Yes," Master Eon said as he got the Portal of Power ready. "You must all start at Mr. Pop's Candy Shop. That is a safe place and if anything should happen, you'll teleport there for your safety."

Kairi was excited about this and the others felt her excitement was contagious, despite the fact that they'd have to face Kaos and Lord Licorice. "Let's go, guys!" The Water Portal Master said. "I know the game by heart!"

The guardian of Skylands smiled. "That will help a little, but the obstacles you face will be different," he said. "Good luck to you all and return safely."

"You can count on us, Master Eon!" Amelia said.

"We'll beat Kaos and Lord Licorice!" Crystal said, standing tall.

"You will have to work fast," Master Eon said. "You will only have eight days to set things right."

"That's pretty tight," Thumpback said.

"Will that be enough time?" Kairi asked worriedly.

"Of course it will," Spellslamzer said reassuringly. "You Portal Masters have face all other challenges and have come out on top before."

"He's right," Rachel said. "We can do this, guys. All together."

She placed her hand out with her palm facing the floor. Spellslamzer lifted up Crystal, who placed her hand on her sister's hand and the Spell Punk gently placed his over the young girl's hand. Amelia placed her hand over his and Kairi stacked her hand on top of Amelia's hand while Thumpback completed the stack, his large hand covering Kairi's hand. They all nodded to each other silently before looking at the glowing Portal. Rachel picked up Crystal while Spellslamzer picked up both sisters and Thumpback picked up both Amelia and Kairi and they stood before the Portal before diving into the bright light, feeling the G-forces sweep them away in one direction. "Hold on tight!" Amelia called out as the four girls clung to their friends, who tightened their holds to help the girls feel safe.

Master Eon nodded as he watched them make it to their destination. "Good luck, my friends," he said softly as the glow from the Portal died down and all became still in Skylanders Academy once again.

Well, it looks like the girls and the two giants are off on another adventure, but can they stop Kaos and Lord Licorice? Or will the nasty duo succeed in their plans? Stay tuned to find out! :)

And please leave a review, but no flames! Remember, I am watching those reviews very closely.
