Eon: I've gathered you for a mission of utmost importance, so vital that the future of the academy relies on nothing short of absolute success

Eruptor: I hope it's Arkeyan robots. I hate those things

Star Scale: Nah, dragon hunters

Stealth Elf: Well, I hope it's Kaos. I still have frost in my ears from when he tried to freeze us

Eon: No, Skylanders, this time your foe is different, but no less formidable. It is the basement pipes. They are being attacked by a vicious clog of beard hair. Not mine

Spyro: Uh, we're unclogging pipes?

Eon: Yes. Before they explode and the basement is fraught with minor flooding, resulting in a dastardly plumbing bill! What are you waiting for? Hurry, Skylanders!

Jet-Vac: You heard the man. Up on your feet, people! We've got plum-bing to do. Hmm, plum-bing. Is that right? I know there's a "B" in there. Anyway… Go, go, go! What's the matter, Spyro, Star Scale? Are you two too good to clean some pipes?

Spyro: What? No, we're not too good to clean. It's just… *sighs* It's just that after battling Kaos and all the other threats that threaten the Skylands, this kind of mission seems a little… basic?

Star Scale: Agreed, I mean, fighting dragon hunters is pretty much a routine for me at this point. But it's still more exciting than this

Jet-Vac: Well, being a Skylander doesn't just mean fighting bad guys every second of the day. We provide many essential services to Skylands, great and small. And sometimes that means money-saving plum-bing missions. That still sounds weird

Spyro: Yeah, 'cause it's a soft "B", Jet-Vac. It's "plum-ming". You don't say the "B". It's… it's not a crum-buh. It's a crumb. And it's fine, we get your point

Jet-Vac: You better get it, because it's high time you learned to do things the Skylander way, Spyro!

Spyro: So… is this the Skylander way, huh? Also, did you have a mouse for breakfast? Do you have any idea how pungent those things are? They… they smell worse on the way out, by the way

Jet-Vac: Move!

The two dragons then went to the basement as Jet-Vac assessed the situation

Jet-Vac: Okay, what we have here is a category eight clog. Haven't seen one of these since the great back hair crisis of ought-six. If this thing blows, all the academy's plumbing will be disabled for hours! Maybe even a whole day

Pop Fizz: No! Not a whole day!

Jet-Vac: I know, Pop. It's the stuff of nightmares. Now, we need a miraculous approach, team. A foolproof plan of attack

Eruptor: Oh, awesome. So, what is it, Jet-Vac?

Jet-Vac: I'll tell you… as soon as I think of it

Spyro: Uh, JV, all due respect, but I… I don't think we have much time to think this through

Jet-Vac: As opposed to what? Acting first, then letting the chips fall where they may? Uh-uh. Skylanders do not fly off all willy-nilly, and neither will you. You do things the right way now, the Skylander way

Star Scale : But that pipe is about to unleash a knee-high nightmare for anyone who can't fly. That's all of you, except for Spyro. So we need to act fast

Jet-Vac: We'll act fast when I have a proper plan in place. Which I'd have already if you two weren't interrupting me

Stealth Elf: Guys, this is about to get ugly
