Van: Hey Snooky. I'm trying to figure out what would make my writing better I feel like I'm....missing something...

Van: I don't really know...

Snooky: Okay...

Van: Who's singing??

Zoe: (Singing) Cause if you wanna keep me, ya gotta gotta gotta

Van: Do you know her Snooky?

Snooky: Yeah, we're on the same squadron, the Alpha Squadron.

Van: Oh, cool!

Zoe: So, what are you doing here?

Van: I was actually writing some poetry.

Zoe: So you like to write hm?

Van: Yeah, don't you remember when you helped me get my poem back?

Zoe: Oh yeah! You really pinned Jenny down good there!

Van: Yeah, it was actually pretty fun!

Zoe: Yeah, and so was pinning my rival, Madame Pom! (Psychotic) Hahahahahahahahaha!!

(Drum appears)

Drum: Van, we need to talk.

Van: Sure, what about?

Drum: I already told you that you need accept the offer to train
to be an elite H.E.A.R.T.S agent, but I have to go back to the Buddy World for a month.

Van: Wh-What?!

Drum: Sorry kid, I hope you understand.. Zoe, keep care of him while I'm gone okay?

Zoe: I will, don't worry..

Drum: You and Snooky are some of his closest friends. You guys are practically family. I'm trusting you guys to be there for him (He goes through a portal) Goodbye Van..... See ya soon....

Snooky: Wow, a H.E.A.R.T.S elite agent! Van did you hear that you are coming to train with us-

(Zoe and Snooky notice Van is really sad)

Van: D-Drum......did that really......did he really just leave me?!

Zoe: Van, calm down!

Van: Calm down?! My buddy just left! (Runs away)

Snooky: Van, wait up!

(Scene changer: Van's badge)

(Zoe and Snooky are hot on Van's tail)

Zoe: Okay, do you tackle him or do I tackle him?!

Snooky: Tackle him?! Are you trying to get him emotionally stressed?!

Zoe: I am not! I'm just trying to catch him!

(Suzan, Logan and Monty are hanging out by a tree and they see Van run by, crying)

Monty: Did I just see Van walk by, crying??

Logan: Probably your imagination!

Van: (stops) What do you guys WANT!? You guys just don't GET IT!! As if you would care!

Snooky: Van calm down you're just mad! We get that you're missing drum and it hurts but he left so you can get stronger!

Zoe: Okay, time I get in and step in! (Does a double leg takedown) Snap out of it! (Slaps Van in the face)

Van: (slaps back) Wow you're really are mean Zoe!!

Snooky: Zoe calm down I can't tell who is being the bigger drama queen here, You or Van!

Zoe: Yep! (Notices what he just said) Hey!

Van: She's a bigger one! She just hates me! It would explain why she slapped me!

Zoe: I am just a strong diva!

Van: That's one way...

Snooky: Look, we can do this together! H.E.A.R.T.S agents never give up, and never say die!

Van: Alright then... If you say so... Let's do it!

(Scene changer: Snooky's badge)

(Zoe, Snooky and Van walk into the Multiversal Protection Squadron's main office)

Zoe: Welcome to the Multiversal Protection Squadron!

Van: Whoa... this place is amazing!

Zoe: There are 30 teams in this place. Each formed due to special occasions!

Snooky: And each team has the special three ingredients. Charm, Skills, and Leadership.

Van: And what is the recipe for?

Snooky and Zoe: Hinakos!

Van: Well, I got inspired by them!

Zoe: Ah, but what you DON'T know is that they are more Hinakos that meet the eye!

Snooky: There are 90 in total, 3 per team.

Van: Wait, what?! There are MORE Hinakos?! I never though there were 90! But, I'll roll with it.

Cajun Pepper: \*Sniff sniff\* Do I smell, blown mind??

Van: Huh?

Cajun Pepper: \*Sniffs Van\* P.U, P.U! You smell like you came from Dogs Playing Poker!

Van: Wha??

Snooky: Chef Pepper Jack, leave him alone!

Van: Wait, Chef Pepper Jack?? From Skylanders Trap Team?!

Pepper Jack: No, I'm Eleanor Rigby. Of course I'm Chef Pepper Jack!!

Van: Well, I'm Van!

Pepper Jack: Well, why don't you come and meet the rest of Team Bravo?

Snooky: Well, he wants to be on Team Alpha really.

Pepper Jack: Well then, there they are! (Points over to them)

Van: Oh, okay

????: Excuse me.

Van: Huh?

Gao: Do not be alarmed, I am Gao. I will train you.

Zoe: He's training with Team Alpha, so back off!

Gao: What you need is another dragon master.

Zoe: Just don't upstage him....

Gao: I won't.

(Drum appears)

Van: Drum?! You look different....

Gao: He is actually my Drum Bunker Dragon.

Snooky: Double trouble huh?

Van: Guess so...

Gao: Anyway, best we head into the dojo.

Van: Alright, let's do this!

(Van walks into the dojo)

Van: Whoa... It's so big!

Zoe: You can say that!

Van: Yeah...

Gao: My dojo isn't as big as this!

Snooky: Anyway Van, meet some members of Team Alpha. Olive, Minka, Wolfgang, Pepper, and Snow & Ball.

Van: Nice to meet all of you.

Snooky: So who do you wanna train with first?

Van: How about Wolfgang?

Wolfgang: Haha! Let there be rock!

(From the shadows, a figure is watching)

????: Yes Van, get strong so I can knock you out.... Hehehehehe....

(Scene changer: Wolfgang's badge)

Wolfgang: Alright, now to become an elite, you have to master the 20 original elements. We will start with Undead!

Van: Okay then.

Wolfgang: Use this! (Throws him the Komplex Kabin Kube)

Van: What is this?

Wolfgang: An elemental relic.

Van: Sounds powerful....

Wolfgang: Well, it won't help your memories come back. Don't get too excited..

Van: Well how does it work?

Wolfgang: Just try and reform the Kube.

Van: Okay, I'll try (He does so)

Wolfgang: It's a bit tricky, but keep patience! It'll be worth while.

Van: I won't give up!

Wolfgang: That's the ticket bloke!

Van: And.... done!

Wolfgang: Good job kid!

(The Komplex Kabin Kube rumbles)

Van: Huh?

(The Kube then spawns out a hand and touches Van on the forehead, giving Van powers of the Undead element)

Van: W-Whoa....

Wolfgang: Impressed huh?

Van: Yeah I am!

Wolfgang: Then try using one of the abilities you got!

Van: Okay... (He shoots out a skull) Did I just do that?!

Wolfgang: Yep!

(Scene changer: Minka's badge)

Van: So, I mastered 5 of 20 elements, what's next??

Minka: Okay, the next element you must master is Paint. And I have a special fighting style to help me master this.

Van: You fight? I never knew you were into that stuff!

Minka: Well, I gotta defend myself.

Van: Anyway, what is the fighting style?

Minka: Paint Fu! I'm pretty good at it ya know.

Van: Well, when Van is out to play, I'll take on any challenge!

Minka: Well, why not take me on??

Van: Then show me this fighting style.

Minka: Okay, first things first, the pose! (She gets in a Fencing like pose)

Van: Okay... (Does the same)

Minka: The goal is to use your paintbrush to try and attack your
opponent. In which you have to knock the brush out of your opponent's hand.

Van: Interesting.

Minka: Reminds you of something huh?

Van: Yeah, it reminds me of my days as a fencer.

Minka: Fencer? You made fences??

Van: No! Fencing is a kind of sword fighting. Though I'm not really sure if you are similar to that.

Minka: Well then... Ready to go?

Van: Got it!

Minka: Then deal with this! (She does a front slash)

Van: Yipe! (Dodges) You're fast, (Knocks her brush away) but not fast enough however.

Minka: Wha- Amazing.... No one ever beaten me in my fighting style before!

Van: Well, I'm a sword fighter, it doesn't surprise me.

Minka: Well then, you are ready... (She passes Van the Ink Blob of INKT)

Van: Is this the elemental relic needed to master the Paint element?

Minka: Yes... it is...

(The blob then consumes Van and then spits him back out, giving him paint abilities)

Van: Well, that was odd... (He uses his paint abilities)

Minka: Great job! Next up is the poison element. Pepper will train you.

Van: Oh boy.....I'm guessing me and her are gonna be like fire and ice.

Snooky: Let me guess you guys are total opposites

Van: Oh you bet.

Minka: What do you mean?

Van: I mean she is all tough and strong and I'm more...well soft Intellectual...

Zoe: Oh come on Van, it'll be fine! I'll go and get her.

Van: Okay... I hope... \*Gulps\*

(Zoe heads into a different training room where she finds Pepper beating down a heavy bag)

Zoe: (Knocks on the training room's metal door) Pepper? Can I come in?

Pepper: (Through the door) Come in, it's open!

(Zoe then opens the metal door and heads inside)

Zoe: Yeesh... I know you want to be an MMA fighter.. though this room could use some decoration...

Pepper: Hey I don't need any, I got all the decor I need right here (Points to her training gear) Anyway what's up?

Zoe: Anyway, we have a new member here and I was wondering if you
 can use your Poison MMA techniques to help him master the Poison
Element.

Pepper: Sure, what's his name?

Zoe: His name is Van. He the one who has a bit of trouble trying to remember his past.

Pepper: Oh yeah, he's the poet you helped out right?

Zoe: Yes, he is.

Pepper: Oh right, now I know him.

Zoe: Anyway, you mind training him so he can master the poison element?

Pepper: Well the kid's got a good rep.

Zoe: So is that a yes?

Pepper: Well, I like the kid, so yeah!

Zoe: Of course, the person you REALLY like is Captain Cuddles.

Pepper: (Blushes) Oh shut up. (Playfully punches Zoe in the arm)

(Scene changer: Pepper's badge)

Van: Look Snooky, I don't wanna have a personality clash with her!

Snooky: Oh come on, that's impossible!

Van: No it isn't. One wrong move and she will probably KILL me!

Pepper: (Appears near Van) The only people that I would KILL
would be anyone under the command of Silas, lord of venomous Snakes. And
 that guy was a pain in the tail...

Van: P-Pepper!

Pepper: That's my name, don't wear it out.

Van: \*Sighs\* Alright, let's get this over with....

Pepper: Alright then, now let's get started! Now as an up and
running MMA fighter, you gotta have strategy! And after mastering the
Poison element, I used some of my MMA moves to combine with the element
to K.O my foes!

Van: Interesting combo. Like how I use my dragon element powers
and my sword skills to slice apart my enemies. (Thinking) Hey... we have
 sorta the same strategy.... Maybe me and her aren't so different.

Pepper: Yeah. Anyway, the first move is the serpent back-fist.
Watch and learn! (Heads to a punching bag and then starts do punch it
and then does a spinning back-fist which summons a snake to attack it)
Like that.

Van: Okay... (He does the same move Pepper did) Whoa... that's so cool!

Pepper: See? Next is the Venom Knee strike. Watch this. (Grabs
the head of a sparring dummy and knee strike it, having it dissolve
right before their eyes)

Van: Wow, that was amazing

Pepper: See? And last but not least, my most powerful move... The Rattlesnake Roundhouse!

Van: Sounds powerful...

(Pepper then does a roundhouse which makes a sand bag coil up due to the impact)

Pepper: Yep.

Van: Wow, just... wow...

Pepper: Impressed?? I thought you would. Congrats kid, you're now a master of the Poison element.

Van: Thanks.

(Scene changer: Poison symbol)

Van: Okay, I've mastered 10 of 20 elements, so what is next?

Zoe: Next is the Ice element. Snow Dog and Frost Fight will be your coaches.

Van: Who are they?

Zoe: We found them in Alaska, I'll go and get them.

(She heads over to a room with an icey door on it)

Zoe: \*Knocks on the door\* Snow Dog? Frost Fight?? You both in there?

Frost Fight: Yeah, come in!

(Zoe comes into the icey room to see Frost Fight wrestling her little brother)

Snow Dog: You're pretty tough sis, but I'm better!

Frost Fight: In your dreams! (She pins him) Who's better now??

Snow Dog: Oh no fair!

Frost Fight: (Notice Zoe) Oh, hey Zo!

Zoe: Quit roughhousing and get to the dojo! Van needs you to train him!

Frost Fight: You mean the new kid?

Zoe: Yes!

Frost Fight: We're on it!

(Scene changer: Frost Fight's badge)

Van: So how am I doing?

Zoe: Just a little ways to go.

Snow Dog: And me and my sis are gonna train you!

Frost Fight: Yep!

Snow Dog: You show him the first technique of your Ice-Jistu training.

Van: So what's first?

Frost Fight: The first technique is called the Ice Spike.

Van: Sounds sharp.

Frost Fight: Just try jumping and unleash an ice spike. Like so. (She jumps up and shoots out an ice crystal)

Van: Okay. (Does it perfectly)

Snow Dog: Great job! Next up is the Snow Ball Comet blast!

Van: Okay..

Snow Dog: Just do this! (He unleashes a snow ball from the palm of his paws)

Van: Alright. (Does so) Wow..

Snow Dog: Congrats, you have mastered the Ice element!

????: (watches from the shadows) Soon Van. You are almost there...

(Scene changer: Zoe's badge)

Zoe: Okay, time for the last element, Music!

Van: Alright, let's do this!

Zoe: Now then... (Gives him her microphone) This will help you..

Van: Okay... (He then turns the mike on and it shocks him, giving him Music abilities) Wow, that was intense... Did it work?

Zoe: Yes, now you are an elite agent.. I'm so proud of you!

Van: Wait.. you're proud of me?!

Zoe: Yes.. congratulations..

(They both smile at each other and then a dark pulse shoots at them)

Zoe: What the?!

Van: Whoa what was that?!

????: So you are the rising warrior.. Little Vanny is the rising warrior, what a joke. (Laughs)

Gao: (shows up) Hey who are you calling me little bub?!

Zoe: Who are you?!

Van: That's Purgatory Knight! Me and Snooky faced him before!

Purgatory Knight: So van......Why did they choose you to become
an elite? Oh wait, I know. Because they only did it because the Hinakos
asked them to. They really don't care about you. Only them

Van: Shut up. The head games won't work on me ANYMORE

Purgatory knight: Then let's get right to it then (he summons his buddy Demios)

????: Somebody call us??

(Three pets appear. One of them is a tumbleweed skined calico,
one of them is a beagle dressed as a superhero and the other is a poodle
 dressed in MMA gear)

Demios: (appears) Hmmmm? Who are these freaks????

????: Now son, I don't think it's nice to call the friend of my brother a freak.

Purgatory Knight: Who are you?!

Mason: Name's Mason, Mason Hinako

Demios: it doesn't matter you will all perish!

Mason: Not if my six shooter has something to say about it!! (Shoots Demios)

Van: Wait a minute, you guys are Hinakos?!

Mason: Well ya! I'm Mason!

Jackson: I'm Jackson!

Maya: And I'm Maya Hinako!

Purgatory Knight: Well admit it!! The only reason you chose to train him was because the Hinakos put you up to it!

Maya: Van is a better fighter then you!

Purgatory Knight: Oh really?? Well then.... Let's see about that...

Van: I'll destroy you. (He equips my dragon blade Drumsword)

Mason: We're helping out as well pardner!

Demios: You will have to face me!

Gao: Mind if I help? (He equips steel dragon fist dragon knuckle)

Mason: Well Mr. Dumb-i-toes, you're about to get a face full of silver bullets!

Demios: NEVER disrespect a purgatory knight (slashes)

Gao: (Jumps out of the way) Not today buddy! (punches him)

Mason: Well you should never bring a sword to a gun fight! (Starts shooting Demios)

Demios: Gr.... (He turns into shadow and reappears behind Mason and slashes him)

(Meanwhile with Van and PK)

Mason: Grah! \*Falls to the floor\*

Van: Eat this!! (Slashes at PK)

Gao: MASON!!!! That's it I cast.... (a giant flame sword appears)
 GARGANTUA PUNISHER!!!! (the blade slashes Demios and turns him back
into a card)

Demios: Gaaaaaah!!

Gao: And that is how it's done

Mason: Sis, bro, help me out...

Purgatory Knight: You have no chance, I have MORE!! (Slashes at Van)

Van: Gaaaaaah! (falls)

Maya and Jackson: Van!

Mason: That little varmint is nothing but trouble, let's wipe 'em out!

Demios: I will not let you hurt my master!!

Purgatory Knight: (comes forth) let's get to work

(Van then gasp at what he said)

Van: I-I remember that! Someone close to me said it but I don't know who...

Demios and Purgatory Knight: Time to DIE!! (they are about to slash them)

van: I.... Won't... LET YOU!!! (He shoots them with undead power)

Mason: Let's get 'em compadre!! (Hits Demios with a cactus)

Purgatory Knight: Excellent show me your true strength

Mason: You got it! Maya, show 'em your strength!!

Maya: On it!!

Van: Chill out!! (His blade glows with ice power and freezes Demios)

Purgatory Knight: Demios!

van: time to paint u a beautyful end (slashes him with a paint attack)

Wolfgang: Now that's how you do it Undead style!!

Minka: And wait to use the Paint element!!

Frost Fight: And way to freeze 'em bro!

Pepper Clark: Give 'em the Rattlesnake roundhouse!!

Van: Got it! (He does what Pepper says and it melts PK's blade)

PK: My purgatory blade!!!

Van: Hey, don't blame it on me... Blame it on the BOOGIE!! (He uses a music slash)

Zoe: Way to groove Van!

Van: Now it's time for my finisher! Olive is it ready?

Olive: Go for it. It's ready!

Van: Perfect! (He pull out a card) I cast impact.... (A giant blade with all the elements powering it is summoned)

PK: What Is this?!

(PK's distortion punisher is glowing and is locked from use) Why can't I use my card?!

Van: Because this is the power that nullifies the darkness... The
 blade of justice (the sword raises) ELEMENTAL PUNISHER!!! (it slashes
down with the power of all the elements)

PK: Gaaaaaaaaaaah!! (he then disappears into the darkness)

Olive: It worked!!

Maya: What did??

Van: It was a secret weapon I was working on while training. It's my ultimate Gargantua Punisher. The Elemental Punisher

(they all look at Van, jaw dropped)

Mason: Wha- why you sneaky little varmint....

Van: Well, thanks... I guess....

Minka: That. Was. Amazing!!!! How did you figure out how to combine the elements like that?!

Olive: Well we were able to study the Gargantua Punisher blade
and we realized it had enough in it to store the power of each element

All: Wow...

(Scene changer: dragon world flag)

(The agents are at the ceremony for Van becoming an elite, and all of his trainers are there)

Hawkwerk: Van, for stopping Purgatory Knight and mastering the
twenty original elements, I make you an elite member of Team Alpha,
