## Plot

The plot of this game is focused on the capturing of Skylands' most wanted villains that have escaped from Cloudcracker Prison (Known in this Wiki as "cloudcracked". The story begins with Master Eon introducing the player to the world of Skylands as well as its protectors, the Skylanders. The veteran Portal Master then reveals that long ago, Skylands was ruled under the vicious grip of the most powerful Baddies called the Doom Raiders who caused havoc all over Skylands from their hideout in the Savage Badlands. Eventually, The Doom Raiders met their match when the Trap Team found their hideout, defeated them, and remanded them to Cloudcracker Prison.

Years later, Kaos, the primary antagonist, releases the Doom Raiders and other Cloudcracked by blowing up Cloudcracker Prison using his Frequency Modulator, The destrution of the prison also caused the Trap Team to be sent to Earth as well. At the same time, all characters from the previous games are at the opening of the Skylanders Academy presented by Buzz, who aids the Skylanders in catching The Gulper at Soda Springs, presumably not knowing he and the other villains were broken out.

After capturing The Gulper, Buzz and the Skylanders are informed of Cloudcracker Prison's destruction by the creator of the Academy, Mags, and sets to capture the remaining Cloudcracked. Meanwhile Kaos and the Doom Raiders are gathered at his new base, but the Doom Raiders are quick to reject Kaos, not even taking a listen to his plan. The leader of the Doom Raiders, the Golden Queen, allows Kaos and Glumshanks to stay, only to come up with a plan of her own, stating its "solid gold". After securing intel of the Doom Raiders at Know-It-All Island, the Skylanders head to Chompy Mountain, where they battle the Chompy Mage and his forces. In the Mage's final battle, he is officially trapped and bagged. Meanwhile, the Doom Raiders learn of the defeat, and dissent grows in the ranks as Wolfgang challenges the authority of the Golden Queen. Kaos, seeking to take back control, commences "Operation Sabotage".

The Skylanders are sent to track down the Fire-elemental Doom Raider, Chef Pepper Jack. Meeting up with Tessa at the Phoenix Psanctuary, they hold off the Chef's forces from getting their hands on a Phoenix Chicken egg to create a Spicy Omelet of Doom. Kaos intervenes to sabotage the plans, but his smoke rocket lets Chef Pepper Jack get away with an egg. Launching an assault on his Zeppelin, the Skylanders free all slaves imprisoned on board, and trap the maniacal cook with the cost of Flynn being injured. With three Doom Raiders down, Dr. Krankcase and Wolfgang are set to take action, but the Golden Queen still wants to build a weapon made of Traptanium. Much to Kaos's dismay, the Queen only wants all the riches in Skylands, not ruling the world as its overlord.

After acquiring an Information Squid from Mags's home village, the Skylanders want to know why the Doom Raiders are obtaining Traptanium. Eventually, Mags's Information Squid turns out to be Kaos in disguise who soon forms an unlikely alliance with the heroes. With Kaos being the only lead to where the Doom Raiders are, the Skylanders travel to Monster Marsh where they find Dreamcatcher terrorizing a Mabu village. They are able to stop her by waking the sleeping townspeople up, but Dreamcatcher escapes. The Skylanders head to Telescope Towers to prevent her from stealing secrets of Traptanium from the dreams of Mabu scientists. After many battles through the maze-like labs, Dreamcatcher decides to stop the Skylanders herself, but fails at the attempt and is trapped.

Though the secrets were lost, Dr. Krankcase still needs one final piece to the Ultimate Weapon, a large amount of "stinkocity". Kaos knows that the most powerful substance of that level is in the Secret Sewers of Supreme Stink. With Flynn back in action, the Skylanders go and cut off the supply of goo, earning the Gillmen workers' trust in the process. Ever crafty, Dr. Krankcase substitutes the goo for cheese, and comes up with a plan: bury it and go forward in time to when it is most stinky. Only one problem, they need a portal master to do it. Reopening Kaos's Wilikin Workshop for his own purposes, the Skylanders are lured to investigate with Kaos in tow,Finally battling the Mad Doctor, he traps Kaos in a barrel, but Wolfgang appears and takes Kaos for himself,. The Skylanders follow in pursuit, but not before trapping Dr. Krankcase.

The Skylanders and Flynn track Wolfgang to Time Town, where they get help from Da Pinchy. Fighting their way through town, they arrive too late as Wolfgang has already headed to the future. Arriving in that time period, they discover that Wolfgang has completely taken over and constructed the "Big Bad Woofer", a giant speaker that amplifies his painful music 10-fold. The Skylanders make their way to the sinister speaker and shut it down, fight Wolfgang, and cage the Big Bad Man-Beast before he can freeform the ultimate concert. However, the rotten cheese was sent to the Golden Queen in the present, and she completed the weapon. Holding Skylands hostage, she demands the surrender of all Skylandes, her fellow Doom Raiders to be freed and all the gold in the world as tribute. Oh, and to make infinite number of more rules.

The Skylanders and their comrades steal a rocket from the Trolls and use it to get to the Skyhighlands, where they find a crystal prism to locate the Golden Queen's lair. Traveling through The Golden Desert, Cali is turned into a gold statue by the Queen, and the Skylanders managed to fight the Queen's forces to rescue their Mabu friend. In an epic battle against the Queen, the Skylanders are victorious in trapping her and putting an end to her tyranny once and for all. But just when it looks like its over, Kaos takes the weapon for himself and absorbs the combined stinkocity and energy from the collected Traptanium. His skin turns purple as a result, also developing enhanced senses, being able to see everything. He then realizes it was not the Skylanders he had to destroy, but the one thing that was always in his way: the player, or the new Portal Master, and sets his sights on Earth.

With both worlds hanging in the balance, the Skylanders make their way through The Ultimate Weapon and battle Kaos, who transforms into an enhanced Traptanium version of himself. In this final battle Kaos uses the power of Traptanium to its fullest, but is finally defeated and put in a trap of his own. The Ultimate Weapon overloads as a result of the battle and explodes, freeing the trapped cities. The game ends with the residents of the Skylanders Academy celebrating its official opening.
