Chapter One: Snake Attack!
 
 
Since you’re reading this book, the chances are you’ve never had to fight a Water Viper. For this, you should count yourself very, very lucky.
 
Some of you may not even know what a Water Viper is. If that’s the case, imagine a snake. One with a wriggly, muscular body and lots of scales. Oh, and long needlelike fangs, too.
 
The snake in your head is probably pretty scary, right? Like something out of a nightmare.
 
Well, a Water Viper is worse. Much worse.
 
First, take the snake you just imagined and make it the size of a house. Not a small house—a really big house.
 
Now, color its scales aqua-blue, and make them super-slimy. Finally, give your snake glowing red eyes and fangs as long as your arm. Actually, make them twice as long as your arm.
 
If you’ve done all that then, you’re halfway to imagining just how insanely terrifying a Water Viper actually is. Fortunately for you, they don’t exist in your world. They live in Skylands, the most magical place in all of creation. Here in Skylands, millions of trillions of gazillions of enchanted islands float in a bright blue sky. These islands are filled with amazing creatures as well as terrifying monsters. Water Vipers fall into the latter category.
 
Luckily for the people of Skylands, there is a band of heroes who fight monsters and other followers of The Darkness. These are the Skylanders: courageous champions who will stop at nothing to keep Skylands safe from evil.
 
Courageous champions such as the three who heard a cry for help coming from Mabu Market and rushed to find a Water Viper attacking the timid Mabu who worked there.
 
“No gold, no glory!”
 
Trigger Happy was the first Skylander to leap from the Portal of Power, which had transported the three heroes to Mabu Market. He was a giggling gremlin, covered in rust-colored fur and with a ridiculously long tongue that lolled out of his permanently grinning mouth.
 
But his tongue wasn’t the first thing people usually noticed about Trigger Happy. No, the first thing was that he was holding two massive golden guns.
 
Trigger Happy was the best shot in Skylands. In fact, he still is. He never misses, but his guns don’t fire bullets or missiles; his shiny shooters fire gold coins. This is why people cheer when Trigger Happy appears and sends bad guys packing. Not only does he drive wrongdoers out of your hometown, he leaves so much gold ammo lying around that you’ll be rich for the rest of your life.
 
Usually Trigger Happy likes to shoot first and answer questions later (most of the time he forgets to ask the questions at all). However, even he paused when he saw the state of Mabu Market. Trigger Happy had appeared on the top of a large market stall, but the rest of the place was in chaos. Most of the other booths were underwater. The entire market was completely flooded. Waterlogged Mabu struggled in the flood, bobbing among crates and pots in water that was as choppy and rough as any sea.
 
“But that’s impossible,” said a voice beside Trigger Happy. It was Food Fight, a Life Skylander. Like Trigger Happy, Food Fight carried a large cannon—but this one fired massive ripe tomatoes and other assorted fruits and vegetables. As his name suggested, Food Fight didn’t just play with his food—he fought with it!
 
A third figure materialized beside the others, dressed in jet-black armor that highlighted her burning red eyes.
 
“This doesn’t make sense,” said the newcomer, Smolderdash. “There isn’t any water for miles. No lakes, no seas—nothing.”
 
“That’s right,” agreed a monocle-wearing creature who was swimming toward them. It was Auric, a trader in magical artifacts and potions. He had worked with the Skylanders plenty of times, but now he needed their help. When he reached their perch, a shadow fell over them. Then he pointed at the sky and added, “But there is that!”
 
High in the air, a huge face loomed into view. It was connected to a long, scaly body. It was a Water Viper!
 
Before the Skylanders could react, the Water Viper opened its gigantic jaws and spewed a column of water right at them. Trigger Happy and the others leaped out of the way as water crashed into the market stall, smashing it to pieces.
 
This Water Viper had Skylanders on its menu!
 
 
Chapter Two: Water Fight
 
 
Watch out!” Food Fight shouted as another burst of water blasted toward them—but his fellow Skylanders weren’t going to end up as snake snacks today. Before Trigger Happy splashed into the floodwaters, he fired off a volley of super-shiny coins. They cut through the air, sunlight reflecting off their gleaming faces and dazzling the giant snake before the coins bounced off the monster’s scaly skin.
 
The other Skylanders didn’t waste time, either. Landing nimbly on a floating barrel, Smolderdash threw up her hands. Soon, a group of blazing Solar Orbs flew from her palms. The shining globes erupted into flames near the monster’s head, confusing it even more. The beast flailed around, sending torrents of water everywhere.
 
Food Fight, meanwhile, was treading the choppy water, but that didn’t stop him from sending a barrage of bright red tomatoes into the air. The fruit splattered against the snake’s scales, smothering its skin in pulp and tomato juice. That gave the Life Skylander an idea.
 
“Hey, Smolder!” he yelled as Trigger Happy burst through the surface of the water beside him. “Feel like doing some cooking?”
 
Smolderdash grinned in reply. “I’m ready to turn up the heat if you are!”
 
While Trigger Happy continued dazzling the snake with his coins, Food Fight went into overdrive, covering the Viper’s scaly hide with red sludge. Soon, it was impossible to see the snake’s skin through all the tomato pulp.
 
“Over to you, Smolderdash. Old Snake Eyes is ripe for conquest!” Food Fight shouted to Smolderdash. 
 
The Fire Skylander leaped from her barrel and threw herself toward the monster.
 
“Lighting the way!” she cried as her entire body began to glow like a miniature sun—even Trigger Happy and Food Fight had to protect their eyes from the fierce glare. But that was nothing compared to what happened to the Water Viper.
 
As Smolderdash flared, the tomato pulp baked into a rock-hard shell that creaked as the monster desperately tried to wriggle free.
 
“Hey, Trigger Happy,” Food Fight said, still squinting in the light. “Can you get me up high? It’s pulping time!”
 
“Yeah, yeah,” Trigger Happy jabbered, producing a giant pot of gold. “Stand on this!”
 
Food Fight did what he was told and leaped onto the gleaming cauldron, which was already vibrating beneath his feet. This wasn’t any ordinary pot of gold—it was an exploding pot of gold.
 
“Pa-pa-POW!” Trigger Happy shrieked with glee as his golden grenade detonated, throwing Food Fight into the air. As he rocketed skyward, the Life Skylander blasted the Water Viper with flying fruit, covering its writhing body once again. The serpent was smothered from head to tail.
 
“Bake that snake!” Trigger Happy giggled wildly as Smolderdash did just that,...
