Breathe in…Breathe out….

He told himself this over and over again. He felt something in his heart he has never felt before…fear. He has never felt like this, to be honest. Mostly he was fearless, and somewhat cocky. But…this was different. Today, he will begin to train as a Skylander…As soon as the ship comes and picks him up to go to the academy.

He has a few heroes he wanted to meet…and he plans to meet them all! The thought of excitement and fear stirred in his head as one, giant cloud. He felt like sleeping, since he been up last night, which he wasn't supposed to according to his grandpa. He just need one small snooze….

"Oy! Mate!"

The sound of an old mabu snapped him out.

"Are ye the kid, uh…" he paused to check a list. "Gizmo?"

"Hmm? Oh yea! That's me." He said rubbing his eye.

"Then come along then! I have places to be, and more students to pick up!" The mabu said, putting the list away.

Gizmo climbed the ship, just as his grandfather waved to him. Sadly, but proud. The ship sailed away in the air like a hatchling hawk flying. Gizmo sat down on the wooden planks of the ship, placing his bag in front of him.

"Are we there yet, Master?" A robot chirped, as a small robotic head popped out of his bag. Gizmo laughed.

"Not yet, H2Z. Not yet."

"Aww" The robot groaned "But I want to see the academy now…"

"Don't worry, H2Z, soon you'll have all the enchiladas you can …well…. somehow consume."

"Do you think the digestive upgrade will work, master?"

"It might." He chuckled nervously. "More or less…"

The ship stopped in a complete halt, Gizmo looked to see why they stopped. Before them, was land with water and aquatic sea animals.

"Why did we stop here?" Gizmo asked, as the bridge to the ship splashed in the water.

"Have to pick up a selkie, mi boy." He said smoking as comb pipe.

"What's a selkie?" H2Z asked curiously. The captain chuckled "In a minute, me robotic companion."

A seal popped out of the water and climbed on to the boat, and has transformed into a little humanoid girl within minutes. Awed and shocked, the two boys waved at her, with her waving back.

"Ah, so that's a selkie... I still don't get it." H2Z said, sounding dimwitted.

Hours later, they arrived at the academy, just as soon before Gizmo himself, got sky-sick.

"That'll be the last time, I ride on a ship…." He said, gagging.

He stumbling worked out of the ship, carrying his bag as the selkie girl followed. As Gizmo retained his vision, he saw the academy. Tall towers seem to nearly touch the clouds from here. The entrance has a statue of Master Eon himself. A tall, elf-like women with brown hair stood near the statue.

"Greeting! I'm Kim, and welcome to skylanders academy. Please, take your ID's and wait with the rest of the students for Hugo to give you a grand tour!" She said smiling as she gave Gizmo and the selkie girl their id's.

As they walked towards the group, Gizmo started thinking about his plans during his school year at the academy. And before he knew it, he was day dreaming! Oh how much fun he was going to be having! Before he knew it, he bumped into one of the girls in the group.

"Hey! Rude much?" She said angrily.

"Hey, It's not my fault I bumped into you," He said trying to break loose from her, but somehow couldn't "What am I stick on to, anyway?"

"Me, I am made out of tar!" She said struggling.

A tall bird man walked over to them.

"Allow me." With that he pried Gizmo as loose as he can, and with a huge success, they were got by a undead creature

"You must have been in a sticky situation there." She said giggling.

"Yeah." He said blushing "I guess."

"Ahem! Girls and boys, may we begin our tour?" A mabu with glasses said

"Ahem! Girls and boys, may we begin our tour?"
