Tales of Near Victory!
Tale One
To defeat the Skylanders, Kaos arranged an army of Bone Chompies and Bone ‘n’ Arrows to attack the village, with his plan being for the Bone Chompies to serve as close-range fighters while the Bone ‘n’ Arrows would snipe Skylanders from afar. Thinking his plan had no chance of failing, Kaos sent the bony armies out and went to sleep… But while he was sleeping, Hot Dog had come to rescue to village, and had not only defeated the bony minions, but buried them as well—much to the disdain of Kaos, who found the sight upon waking up and visiting the village.
Tale Two
After his previous failure, Kaos gets the idea to Evilize Flynn, which not only turns Flynn evil, but makes him intelligent as well. The now-Evilized Flynn sneaked into the Skylanders’ camp and stole all their weapons, then convinced them to tie themselves up as part of a magic trick he had planned to do. Just as he was about to signal to Kaos with Zook’s bazooka, however, he had pointed the bazooka upside-down in his clumsiness and set himself on fire, which knocked him unconscious and freed him of the Evilization. By the time Kaos had stormed in with his troll army, Flynn had freed the Skylanders, who then promptly defeated Kaos.
