“Hey, who turned off the sun?” complained Zook, throwing aside his shades and snatching up his bazooka. Fun-loving and carefree he may have been, but Zook recognized a threat when he saw one.
So did Cynder. Her expression was darkening as quickly as the sky. This was no natural storm.
“It is the power of Darkness,” cried Hex. She threw her arms out wide, and crackling phantom orbs appeared in her upturned palms. “The forces of nature have turned against us.”
Cynder felt a drop of rain on her nose, followed by another. A moment later, the heavens opened, and water lashed down from those strange storm clouds.
“It could just be a quick shower,” joked Zook, ever the eternal optimist. “I mean, who ever got hurt by a few drops of rain?”
There was a scream from their left. The Skylanders turned to see a Mabu sinking into the soggy sand. He was already up to his waist in the quagmire. All around, fleeing vacationers were getting stuck, before being dragged beneath the dunes.
Cynder could feel the grip of the wet ground pulling her claws down into a clammy embrace.
“We need to do something,” she yelled, flapping her leathery wings to pull herself free with a wet squelch. “The dunes are turning into quicksand. Everyone is going to be sucked underground!”
Will Cynder rescue the Mabu from the sudden storm? Can the Skylanders keep Kaos from stealing the next piece of the Mask of Power? And what is causing the strange weather in Skylands?
