"OWCH! MY BEAUTIFUL EVIL HEAD!"

As birds cleared out from the hideously blue skies above, Kaos grunted and glanced around this awful, absolutely horrendous place the portal-poster and those utterly insolent Skylosers sent him too!

It was some kind of dirty alleyway filled with huge dust bunnies, and round metal bins as large as his castle that all lined against tall brick buildings which scraped the skies above him. Light poured in from an open passageway, light so bright that Kaos's eyes watered from the heat. Had they sent him to a world where everything was gigantic? If they thought that could stop him, the almighty Kaos, they had another thing coming!

Kaos went to lift his arms, but he couldn't. No much how much he grunted and struggled, he couldn't move any part of his body save for his eyes! It was like he was a statue, doomed to only perceive the world around him as it passed him by… Or perhaps… A toy?

Bah, what a silly idea. It didn't matter if he was a toy, or a statue, or six inches tall! No matter was it to him if he was in the Outlands, or some dingy little corner of the universe he couldn't bother to remember the name of! He'd find his way back to Skylands, and make those stupid Skylanders and their even stupider portal master bow before him! That's right, he was the almighty evil overlord, Kaos! No minor setback could stop him from conquering Skylands as its supreme evil overlord like fate intended him too!

"MARK MY WORDS, SKYLANDERS!" Kaos proclaimed as he shook a fist to the skies—or at least, did so in theory. "WHEN I FIND MY WAY BACK TO SKYLANDS, YOU'LL ALL PAY! YOU'LL PAY IN THE MOST UTTERLY HORRIFIC, GRATIFYINGLY EVIL WAY I CAN THINK OF!"

Kaos paused for a moment to clear his throat. "MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA—"

"Uh, Lord Kaos? I can hear you."

"Eh?"

Kaos stopped short of his evil rant while his eyes glazed around the dirty alleys before him. For a moment, he could've sworn that he heard Glumshanks' voice! But, why would Glumshanks be here? Glumshanks was nowhere near him when he was banished away to this dead-end place!

Kaos frowned as his eyes fell onto a speck of green hidden behind a particularly wide metal bin. Could it be? Kaos strained as he reached out for a moment, his inability to move completely forgotten…

In a miracle itself, his arm stretched forward! Kaos gasped as a surge of magic burst through him while his whole body sprang with life! He wiggled his toes, swerved around his head… Finally, he could move at last!

Kaos immediately sprang to his feet, and as he got himself balanced, he skittered over to the speck of green. Sure enough, it was Glumshanks! Oh, poor Glumshanks, frozen in a look of absolutely terror as he held up his hands. Now, Kaos would never say this to anyone's face, but at a time like this, he couldn't possibly be happier to see his old, reliable butler!

"Glumshanks!" Kaos cried as he heaved up Glumshanks and leaned him against the bin. "How did you get here?"

"I'm not entirely sure myself!" Glumshanks replied. "One minute I was polishing your portal, and the next moment, there was a big explosion and the portal started glowing! Next thing I knew, I ended up here!"

Kaos crossed his arms and turned around as he hummed. Truly an interesting predicament…

"Glumshanks! Pack our things." Kaos strode off into the bright open of the pathway in front of him. "We might be here for a while…"

"How can I?" Glumshanks cried, though his objections were on the back of Kaos's mind. "We're already here!"

"NO OBJECTIONS!" Kaos raised a finger to the sky. "If we're going to get back to Skylands, we'll need every—"

Kaos stopped short as he heard something that sounded like a dog panting. A shadow cast over him, and gave his evil eyes sweet relief from that utterly atrocious light, but there was no time to be relieved!

Instead, Kaos whimpered as he gazed over a gigantic, shaggy mutt with a cherry pink tongue as it loomed over him!

"Uh…" Kaos winced and stepped back. "Nice doggie?"

The dog barked and chased Kaos down the lane! No, not this, anything but this! Kaos screamed as he darted over to Glumshanks, heaved Glumshanks off the ground, and frantically dashed further down the alleways, all while the resounding, utterly sickening barks of that ferocious dog rang in his ears.

"Glumshanks, pick up the speed!" Kaos demanded as he ducked under a stray piece of paper. "I can't run and carry you!"

"But Lord Kaos, I can't!" Glumshanks said in return. "I can't move at all!"

"GLUMSHANKS—"

Before Kaos could finish, he barreled towards a brick wall and skidded to a stop! Much to his utter, evil horror, he was completely cornered—walled off on one end, and faced with the gigantic fuzzball that was his persecutor on the other!

"Uh…" Kaos winced and stepped back. "Sit?"

The dog panted for a few more minutes, the wag of its mangy tail so great that it sent pounding beats through the air, and it grabbed Kaos by the back of his robe as it bound off.

"WHAT? UNHAND ME THIS INSTANT, YOU WALKING FLEABAG! YOU MANGY MUTT!" Kaos screamed as he flailed around in some fruitless way of freeing himself from the canine's grasp. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"

Kaos cringed as dog slobber dripped down from that stupid dog's maw and completely drenched him!

"CURSE YOU, SKYLANDERS! AND ESPECIALLY YOU, PORTAL-POSTER!"

Kaos's angry cries were all that could be heard as the dog ran down the streets with him and Glumshanks still firm in its grasp…
