Meanwhile, Skylanders Academy, the purple dragon Spyro came out of the arena, today and for two days he was more than jealous, the first training in the arena, Stealth Elf and Aurora fought with great passion, mainly and only to show which them is better and impress the visitor from another world, but they were not alone, there were more among the fighting on many levels, the black and navy blue dragoness Cynder also took part in a duel of who could last longer without blinking against the white and blue Flashwing.
What Flashwing did from that day on was not what pleased the brown dragon walking beside him with a huge club at the end of the tail, Bash also did not hide his disgust towards the newcomer, and how Flashwing, his close friend who was never indifferent to him, reacted to him the biggest surprise and reluctance was marching high with a grimace on his face Mabu in a brown jacket and a red pilot scarf, with goggles on his forehead, Flynn shook his head at the whole situation when he saw a great golden giant Bouncer passing him, a green elf with a blindfold Flameslinger and the red-and-yellow gunslinger Trigger Happy, who with delight and flushed faces talked about the achievements of an unknown newcomer called a man.
- I still don't understand what's so great about him, he's an ordinary man, what they all see in him, what my Cali saw in him. Flynn said disgusted.
- worse what Flashwing sees in him, I don't understand it. Bash said shaking his head in an annoyance.
- this newcomer takes all my attention, I used to be a hero and here you go. Spyro said angrily.
- besides, it's naive to imprison in him, believing that he will help us. Said the fourth voice of what turned out to be the navy blue one-eyed director of the entire academy riding in a chair with wheels.
- Brain, it's a pity that there are only four of us, why no one else sees it, after all, it's madness, someday this unknown object will attack us, then everything will end and we'll be in a good septic tank. Spyro said not believing in the newcomer's good intentions.
- I see it too, most of us are too naive, too gullible. Bash said.
- I know, but what to do, what to do, nothing! Brain said, stopping his wheelchair in the middle of the academy, at the crossroads leading to the main academy, arena and shops.
- just out of pure curiosity, where are the other Cadets, I thought they would all come at the present time. Flynn said, directing the conversation to another topic because he was tired of talking about the man, especially when he saw Chill in the white-blue armor talking to the fish-shaped Gill Grunt about the newcomer and how he defeated the cybernetic army.
- that's right, good question, it seems like most of us have disappeared, strange, I don't understand it. Brain said trying to answer the question.
There are currently many members stationed at Skylanders Academy such as, Spyro, Cynder, Flashwing, Bash, Stealth Elf, Gill Grunt, Trigger Happy, Hex, Jet-Vac, Eruptor, Flameslinger, Sunburn, Star Strike,
Splat, Wham-Shell, Rattle Shake, Aurora, Pop Fizz, Sprocket, Chill, Bouncer, Crusher, Tree Rex, Ninjini, and supporting Flynn I Cali, but most of the cadets and members either never showed up or were never found, in each In any case, now the Academy was fortified and turned into fortresses to meet the new danger, many of the outgoing streets were closed off with stone and iron fortifications, and new towers stood armed with ballistae.
Despite all the preparations, Brain, riding on a chair, felt a deep fear, he knew that what was coming was something he might not be able to cope with, there was almost a tragedy once and four times but everything was stopped by someone who was as terrible to him as the whole army cyborgs, but Brain didn't want to think about it now.
- I don't know what happened to the other cadets, maybe they disappeared, maybe this newcomer kidnapped them, I don't know or maybe the Hymerians kidnapped them, until the enemy reveals himself again we won't know anything, and I hope that at least our old enemies will give each other gifts, why, why it all had to fall on us, on me, why my powers. Brain said, angry with himself.
- Brain, it means that your powers are constantly limited, I thought after the past shock and newly activated portals your power. Bash asked.
- no, unfortunately not, what hit me was specially prepared, so many of my powers have been discharged forever, our enemy knew what he was doing by hitting me with his shock bomb, today I am much weaker, it seems to me that I am just useless and nothing else, useless. Said the angry seed Brain only.
- oh come on, you're always needed, you're a great director and you'll manage, without your powers you can still be someone important, everyone is just as needed here. Spyro said placing his right paw on Brain's left tentacle.
- I know, but, wait, what's going on, alarm. Brain shouted as everyone was shocked by a loud alarm from one of the tallest towers behind the academy building.
It was then that the cadets began to run from the arena and other places and buildings, including a brown-red Tree Rex running with a great bang and a stone-gray Crusher holding his great hammer with both hands.
- what's going on, hey, Rex, Crosher. Bash asked.
Both Crusher and Tree Rex looked back, but only she briefly waved to her friends, the current headmaster of the academy.
- they're coming. Tree Rex shouted.
What are they, cyborgs!. Flynn shouted.
- no, it's not them, our trainee friends, a portal was created nearby on a large island, through it our trainee friends Kaos, Kaossandra, Strykore, Malefor and Glumshanks came out, gathering on the island together with their legions.
- let them, they still have to cut between old cheese and sour milk. Spyro said before suddenly whirling as Cynder passed him in the shadows, as did the speeding Flashwing knocking down Bash and running after Ninjini and Cali which spun Flynn in place.
- well, what's with you, what are you standing like bees in chocolate. Said Aurora, drawing her zig-zag swords and rushing off with the other skylanders racing and eager to fight old enemies.
- well, the same again, it seems to me that they want to impress someone, and I won't tell who, come on, it's time for us to impress someone too. Bash said.
- Right, come on, we've got a chance to prove ourselves. Flynn shouted as he ran to one of the Copters.
- actually, it's a great idea, the world and everyone will see me as a hero again. Said Spyro as he took to the air behind the speeding Cynder and Flashwing.
- I do not like it. Brain said because in the depths of his mind he knew that what would now take place near the Academy would only be on the hands of the banished, forgotten, Hymerians.
Less than five minutes later, all defenders Skylanders, Spyro, Cynder, Flashwing, Bash, Stealth Elf, Gill Grunt, Trigger Happy, Hex, Jet-Vac, Eruptor, Flameslinger, Sunburn, Star Strike, Splat, Wham-Shell, Rattle Shake, Aurora , Pop Fizz, Sprocket, Chill, Bouncer, Crusher, Tree Rex, Ninjini, Cali, Flynn, all gathered on the big island with huge armies of black shadows ready to rush into battle according to their leaders.
On the other side, behind his legions and the closing portal, stood the leading Strykore in a black robe and helmet, his hand clenching tightly and accumulating the power of darkness in his hands in the form of black thunderbolts, on both sides of him now stood the faltering Kaos, and Kaossandra, Kaos for a moment was not sure of what I want to do, especially when he looked at the purple dragon, he finally saved him from danger, but something rebellion, fight made Kaos fierce vengeful again just like his mother Kaossandra, she also despite looking at the green elf , in a brown outfit and a brown band covering her mouth, she staggered but only for a moment, and the great black dragon Malefor, who occupied the left flank, was most sure of revenge and such, although he did not show anger towards his daughter, he still had too much of it in particular to the purple dragon.
- how beautiful it is to see you all, to see you and to see your defeat, because today you will not stop us!. Strykore shouted, extending his right hand ready to give the order to attack.
- Strykore, can't you see what has begun, an unnamed threat is over our heads, an evil you haven't heard of yet wants to destroy us all. Brain shouted, trying with all his might to stop the madness of Strykore and his allies, but his words were in vain because Strykore laughed ominously.
- you're ridiculous, they only hunt you, that's for sure, but today we'll preempt them, we'll take over the Core of Light and then we'll deal with our new friends, yes, that's my plan, we'll have the biggest card and you, no no matter what you do, whether you surrender or not, from now on you will be our slaves. Strykore said.
- for everything you've done to us!. Malefor shouted, directing all his anger at the purple dragon.
- for constant failure failures. Kaos shouted, raising his clenched right fist.
- Boss, don't forget, for banishment and everything else. Said Glumshanks standing behind his master's back.
- yes Glumshanks, for everything, for failures and humiliations, you will pay us for everything. Kaos said.
- for failures and betrayal for everything. Kaossandra said avoiding the Stealth Elf gaze.
- so what are you waiting for, go ahead, I'm waiting for you, you my evil dragon. Said the blue elf Hex in a black robe, creating a black ball in the form of a skull in her hands.
- I thought we were going to be bored today, so who starts us or you?. asked the golden rattlesnake Rattle Shake, adjusting his brown hat and taking his shotgun out of his brown jacket.
- entertainment is entertainment, you must also remember about our main task. Said the white Jet-Vac eagle, grabbing the air gun hidden on the belt of his blue armor.
- you guys don't ignore us, you think it's some kind of fun, you treat us with so much belittling like garbage. Malefor said angrily and the black shadows roared simultaneously creating an invisible sound wave.
- oh, is someone offended here, is it good, in any case, I will burn you all. Said the red-gold griffin dragon Sunburn with satisfaction.
- do it together. Said standing next to Star Strike in a dark robe wielding two blades ready to fight like everyone else.
- so you wanted it yourself, take them. Strykore shouted as he gave orders to his legions.
Hundreds of black shadows began to rush to their goal, spreading elephants, talons and living blades, and the defenders of Skylanders, fighting for freedom, took their first steps where Spyro himself came first to the front of friends and loved ones.
- we will not let your shadow smother us again, we will not let your will threaten us all again, you are with me!. Spyro shouted.
- Always. She said brandishing two Ninjini swords.
- with you and everyone. Said Top Fizz taking the dark form of an angry creature.
- together we will defeat them again. Said the brown-red Wham-Shell crab, raising his club high as did Splat's companion, the pink mistress of the faun raising high his wooden club and the golden Sprocket holding the new battle key in his hands.
All the Skylanders cadets and their enemies, black shadows, leading Kaos, Kaossandra, Malefor and Strykore, started running on the ground ready to fight, ready for the great war, the battle for the Academy itself, many have already raised their weapons, threw their power, thunderbolts, fireballs and dark powers it all soared until it suddenly burst through a series of mighty explosions led by powerful Cyborgs called Warmongers.
Everything exploded in a deep cut, everyone was blown off the face of the earth, and as they began to rise, the good and the bad looked north at the ten great transports, four now unloaded and six waiting their turn.
- just not them, and I didn't say so, now we're all doomed!. Brain screamed in horror.
- You there, wait, we can make a deal. Said Strykore before he was knocked down in a massive explosion by the most powerful bot, more specifically by the phase cannons on his belt, called Exo Hegemon, in which sat Habironus himself. A large navy blue bot stood on top of the transport that unloaded the four-legged golden cyborgs, four Warmongers took a long position to be out of range to be able to conduct heavy fire on the positions, another three transports led by Hirusa, and Esina landed at the very island, the eye-gate opened and from inside began to run out first the Grim Bot, silver bots raised their right hands and fired their pistols leading the first barrage, the first ranks of the black legions were almost annihilated and to make matters worse everything, even the entire island was shaken by a powerful hand-held devastating fire from the Warmonger.
Three cannons, two side cannons and a breast one fired, and their power was so great that they easily threw even the great Giants, Ninjini, Tree Rex, Bouncer and Crusher over the heads of everyone and fell to the ground with a bang, completely inert.
- and what did you do!. Gill Grunt screamed in terror, gripping his harpoon gun in a trembling grip and, despite his fear, faced an equally terrified Chill.
- it's not our fault, if not us, from what I can see they would have come anyway, anyway. Kaos screamed in horror as hundreds of projectiles fired by walking three-meter red cyborgs called Dark Stunner rushed towards him.
Everything around Kaos and Glumshanks exploded like impermanent forms of black shadows.
- again the same thing, why them again, what do you want from us. Shouted terrified Aurora, come always brave today, seeing such great enormity and strength, she was not able to fight with the sense of her own fear. All the more so that ten Dreadnoughts fired their main guns.
Bullets rushing at dizzying speed cut through the sky and deliberately collided with each other causing hundreds of exploding shrapnel to hit the ground, blasting everything around, even Kaossandra rolled a few spins in the air hitting the hard and riddled ground of the great trembling island.
The three squads of cyborgs formed a perfect line, the Grim Bit were in the lead and fired their pistols to deflect every counterattack, even the black bolts of the Strykore were smashed to nothing, and the Grim Bot, supported by the strength of the taller Dark Stunners and their heavy guns, not only outnumbered, and their combined arrows shook the whole island again, so that everyone started jumping whether they were lying down or standing.
But the worst has yet to come, what gave a sign of great fear in the hearts of the rising giants, was the powerful fire from the Dreadnought rocket launchers and their main cannons, the sky shone again with the glow of rushing missiles, but this time none of them made it in time, the rockets bombarded the defenders' positions of Skylanders, and the great cannons crashed into the four giants and the black dragon Malefor, who was falling nearby.
- Dad, no, leave him!. Cynder screamed but also quickly froze, knocked down suddenly and violently by a Dark Stunner volley.
Meanwhile, Habironus, standing on the transport ship, watched the progress of his forces from the poison visor of his horned helmet with great satisfaction, victory was practically at his fingertips, all he had to do now was give the order to his Warmongers, and everything would be devastated, but he wanted to savor his final victory and he ignored the words of Hirusa and Esina.
- Habironus, what are you waiting for, order them to finish off, no time to delay. Hirusa said over the radio.
- Exactly, let's end this here and now. Esina said, but Habironus had his own agenda for this.
- take it easy my dear, can't you see, they're defeated, we'll do it another way, the Warmongers are to wait, I'll show them my power personally, let them see their fall, and when it's over, you'll use the magic winches, but first the legions will stand I want to break them personally. Said Habironus about which, armed with navy blue armor, Exo Hegemon rushed on rocket engines and stood in front of the terrified Skylanders, preparing his blades.
- Come on, what are you waiting for, come on. He said to all the Habironus.
We didn't have to wait long for the greatest reactions, especially when the steel legions stood still according to their master's will, the first one to attack was Ninjini, she hit the smaller opponent several times, the two blades whirled, but already in the first blow speed and precision at a staggering level made Habironus hold Ninjini's swords on his handblade and suddenly knocked her down in a sweeping full rotation, two handblades shattered two swords, knocking Ninjini to the ground.
Crusher, holding his hammer tight, swung with all his might, but Habironus was ready for that too, he slid past the hammer, spun around, hit the hammer, smashing it whole, and hit the screaming Crusher with the other blade, the great stone golem fell face down on the ground, and Habironus laughed out loud to show everyone their power.
Running Tree Rex with a mad charge stuck out his elbow wanting to ram the opponent but all he did was bounce off the steel opponent, Habironus kicked with all his strength with his right shoe, strengthening his blow with the power of the rocket engines, Habironus circled in the air and the knocked out Tree Rex did a few spins after and fell straight to the clean ground.
Afterwards, Haboronus deployed two fusion cannons and targeted Bouncer and charging Malefor, a bright volley, one pull of the trigger was enough to shatter everything, the luminous bolts flew to their target and two powerful explosions knocked both Malefor, Bouncer and everyone around, Kaos, Kaossangra, Glumshanks, Pop Fizz, Sprocket, Chill, then Habironus, firing his guns, took off into the air on his engines, firing again, strong explosions everywhere, fleeing Bash, Flashwing, Cali, Flynn, went into the air and fell next to the now half aware Gill Grunt, Trigger Happy, Hex, Jet-Vac, Eruptor, Flameslinger, Sunburn, Star Strike.
- what is it, what is this something. Eruptor asked at the border of his forces.
- I am your undoing, this is Exo Hegemon. Habironus shouted, throwing another attack at the battling Strykore, despite the terrible black thunderbolts nothing impressed Habironus because he blocked each lightning on his blades crossing them in front of him.
Habironus charging his blades suddenly separated them and a huge wave of thunder, kinetics and strikes swept across the battlefield, knocking down the first shocked Strykore.
- what is it, nooooo!. Strykore shouted for the first time in his life feeling so much power on himself.
- I asked you, but even your help would not change anything. Brain said as he lay close.
- perfect, is there really no one here who would be able to fight me, well, there is!, and there is probably every little elf, go ahead, show what you can do girl.
- for more than you think, scoundrel. The Stealth Elf screamed charging at the big opponent but before she could land the blow Habironus hit with his right blade creating a great discharge everything was thrown back a great distance including the Stealth Elf she fell to the ground grabbing her head and blue hair feeling huge headache and confident Habironus signaled to Grim Bot and Dark Stunner.
- ok, you can finish them off, but not with ammo, it's a waste of bullets here, but first, I forgot, it's time to use the magic devourers. Habironus said.
At the chief's command, the silver Grim Bots raised their left arms wielding blades and the Dark Stunner raised their rifles with axes attached, the two squads of cyborgs slowly began closing in on the vanquished good and bad, all walking with the image of an impending end, and three transports overhead The island began to open the central gate ready to shoot great cybernetic paws designed to drain the power of magic from the known world, today prepared to do it with the Academy itself and the Core of Light hidden there.
And Warmonger, four golden four-legged bots, still held positions on a small island out of everyone's reach, waiting only for the order of their master, the leader.
As the time of the end approached, Habironus stopped before the green elf lying on the ground and her great fear painted in shining eyes, Habironus put the blade in front of the Stealth Elf's nose, pulled off his long-skulled helmet for a moment, showing his face so that the terrified Elf was the witness of the last countenance in his life, a gray face with blue eyes.
- now you see the face of the ultimate, mine, the face of true revenge. Habironus said.
- today I see the face of a pathetic creature, today you will defeat us but what will it give, someday someone will pay you back for it, you will pay, you will see, evil will lose someday, you will lose. She said Stealth Elf, despite her fear of the hand blade, she still had the same strength to keep fighting the evil that was Habironus.
- ha ha ha cha, how funny even now, so tell me something else, if you believe in your doom, say it!. shouted Habironus, raising a blade charged with pure power.
It was the moment when the Etealth Elf closed her eyes and waited for the end of everything until suddenly she opened her eyes and her pupils dilated so much that even Habironus seeing it was unable to strike because a quiet melody called The Only Thing They Fear Is You .
