The next day, just behind Skylanders Academy, work was currently going on on a large destroyed island, some of the cadets were currently inspecting the lands, moving broken and non-functional steel parts, on the orders of Brain, who was currently on site, the cadets were reviewing parts and remnants of what was still there the previous day the menacing and destructive army of cyborgs was now nothing more than a broken and dilapidated heap of rubble and steel.

The purple dragon Spyro was working among the now looking through the rubble collecting everything for a couple of great heaps of scrap, he was just throwing aside a broken, destroyed pistol that once belonged to Grim Bot, now that weapon and most of it was completely destroyed.

- and what are we actually looking for here, after all, it's all garbage. Spyro said, but his condition was not shared by two friends, the brown wingless dragon Bash and the tall mabu, Flynn in a brown jacket and red scarf.

- I treat my work very seriously, I didn't show off last day fighting for all of us, today I can show off in this simple way, because today the newcomer is not here, Flashwing is watching and Cali too. Bash said, tossing and flicking his club-shaped tail at the destroyed parts of the once-mighty cyborg army.

- Yes, but this way we have a chance to show off. Said Flynn, moving the broken pieces as fast as Bash and helping them Spyro, who wanted to show off more in front of everyone when the role of the hero was taken from him by an unidentified newcomer, today is all he has left.

- you're right, this is the only way today, this newcomer has made too much of a fuss since yesterday. Said Spyro as he collected the shards and together with Flynn and Bash piled up the largest pile of broken shards currently.

- what do you mean, Spyro, what's the fuss about. Flynn asked.

- and look at our friends. Said Spyro, turning his attention to Bouncer, Trigger Happy, Eruptor, Flameslinger, Gill Grunt and Chill who were too distracted all the time working on their junk heap, telling each other stories of how the newcomer had smashed an entire army of cyborgs instead of to search through the shards in search of something useful, they preferred to stop every now and then and talk about what the newcomer did, how he did it.

- it's simply impossible, such reflexes, such accuracy, speed and attack from invisibility, it can't be compared to anything I know, the way he shoots with a bow, as if I would like him to teach me how to shoot like that. Said the green elf, a Flameslinger with a brown blindfold and brown overalls, now tossing aside the broken parts of the great cannon.

- cha is an understatement, how I would have toys like him, this rifle with four rotating barrels, man, that's something. Says red and yellow gunslinger Trigger Happy as he picks up two broken pistols.

- it's a pity that the enemy's armament doesn't work either, it looks like this. Trigger Happy added, looking thoughtfully at the cracked weapon.

- exactly, it looks like some kind of security system renders the enemy's weapons useless in case they fall into our hands, that's very interesting, or he, our amazing friend, sorted everything out even how he cleaned up yesterday, he devastated them all normally Wow, my head is on fire. The wound up Eruptor shouted, unable to fight the current emotions.

- whether it was him or the defense system, it is rather redundant for us anyway, because having such a friend, an ally, we have nothing to be afraid of. The way he uses his arsenal is unbeatable, but seeing him tired was something I didn't expect. Said the golden Giant on one wheel as Bouncer recalled the exhaustion moments of their otherworldly ally both Chill in the white-blue armor and the fish-shaped blue Gil Grunt looked at each other as they unlearn parts of the destroyed red rifle aside.

- well that was amazing but it also shows that despite his power he can get tired which is rather worrying to me more than this ultimate weapon, geez how he used this green glow power cannon and destroyed those four golden cyborgs, a whole army everything was and is amazing. Chill said not being afraid of the newcomer's power and that even he got tired.

- well, it must be said that this newest power of his really makes the biggest impression here, it was amazing. Gill Grunt said while helping Chill move another part of the broken landing gear of one of the transports.

So the conversation continued, fascination they still couldn't focus on their current duties, talking only about the past day, wondering who or what the newcomer was, because despite everything that had already happened, the stranger still kept his distance from everyone, he was still hiding in an unknown place, but the strong conviction that the newcomer would always come to their aid made none of the present feel fear, except for Brain sitting on a moving brown chair, who was constantly muttering something under his breath, his yellow eye was still scanning the area, afraid that today the newcomer would finally find them in sight.

Listening and watching, Spyro shook his head and golden horns, still feeling a stab of jealousy in his heart, because he wasn't the one being talked about at the Academy today, he wasn't the number one topic today, and he couldn't become number one because his power wasn't able to stop three cyborgs, let alone an entire army, so the heart of the purple dragon felt another pang of jealousy and everything was focused on one newcomer taking everything from him and how it was going to turn out more and not only him.

Marching with rubble in their hands and paws, Flynn and Bash now watched with regret and envy Cali and Flashwing as well as Aurora, Ninjini, Cynder and Stealth Elf competed at every turn and since yesterday, the blue and white dragoness Flashwing has been scooping up debris and shards of steel on their own mound, just like the black and navy blue Cynder running around the area, both treated this rivalry very seriously, wanting to show the other who is better here, who can boast more in front of the newcomer, everything was focused on him again.

On the other hand, there was a similar rivalry, as it turned out, Aurora in a white helmet and black and white kimono tried to take as much debris and destroyed steel as possible, trying to collect the largest mound as quickly as possible, just like the green elf competing with her, in a brown outfit and wearing a blindfold on their face, they both outdid each other for a step, there were even moments when both Aurora and Stealth Elf tripped each other on purpose.

Biggest forehead ache of all Flynn watching his great crush, Cali, disregarding her brown-yellow suit, shuffle through the shards and parts of huge cyborgs with great vigor, not even paying attention when some dirty part stained her clothes and hands, everything Cali did it was also focused on showing everyone who is the best and fastest in the current duty.

However, it must be admitted that the fastest and most efficient was Ninjini, a great blue Giant with red hair in navy blue armor, she could easily take the largest amount of broken and damaged shards on her hands, and thanks to the fact that she was floating on the genie's tail, no one was able to put her leg under, and all the time she was the one who took the lead in the current informal competition, which of course irritated the other opponents.

- and you see what we have here, all because of him, he provokes competition, because of him our unity breaks. Said Spyro angry at what he saw, angry at everything that was focused and related to the newcomer.

- I see it the same way, worse, what he did to Flashwing, I've never seen her so stupid, besides, it is not known who is hiding there under this armor and helmet, maybe some pimply man with scars. Flynn said as he adjusted his red scarf.

- that's right, exactly, maybe it's wrinkled, maybe it has big pustules, I don't know, it would save me. Bash said slapping his tail hard on Grim Bot's broken limbs.

- that too, but the most important thing is that our team loses unity, we become different, we compete, we don't see others, only him. Spyro said.

- That's how I see it too. Brain said then rang the bell hanging from the brown chair.

- Okay, break, that's enough work for today, you're all free. Too bad there's nothing useful here, too bad. Brain said.

Moments later, Brain, sitting on a moving chair, led everyone to the Academy, Cynder, Flashwing, Aurora, Ninjini, Cali and Stealth Elf, Bouncer, Trigger Happy, Eruptor, Flameslinger, Gill Grunt and Chill, Spyro, Bash, Flynn were talking again on the same the topic until everyone fell silent when the door of the academy opened and in the middle of the great hall, between the corridors and stairs, he was standing, a visitor from another world, standing with his back to everyone.

- it's him!. Aurora screamed wanting to take off to the newcomer.

- Am I dreaming, no! It's him!. Stealth Elf screamed, also trying to run.

- Move over, I was first. Said the pushing Ninjini.

- quieter, not so fast, maybe he wants to track us today. The cautious Brain said again.

- Oh come on, why would he attack us?. She said Cynder, peering behind Aurora and shoving her head between her and the Ninjini.

- Yeah, he's not bad!. Flashwing shouted as she did the same between the Stealth Elf and the giant giant.

- Hey, where's the place for me. said Cali, pushing from behind.

- and we, too, have a lot to say, by the way. Trigger Happy said jumping up and joining everyone. Same as Eruptor, Flameslinger, Gill Grunt and Chill.

- aside, I'm first. Eruptor said.

- no because I. Flameslinger said.

- Hey, we're not going in there. Chill said she was the only one who didn't try to push as much as Gill Grunt because they both had their own ideas.

- you have to use your head. Gill Grunt said.

- I like your ideas. Chill said making Gill Grunt blush for a moment before firing his harpoon into the ceiling and giving Chill a fishy hand which turned out to be the last moment as all the crowd would finally be relieved by the oncoming Bouncer.

- from the path of herring. Said Bouncer accidentally hitting Ninjini and everyone except Chill and Gill Grunt fell inside.

Chill and Gill Grunt flew over everyone's heads and landed between them and the newcomer who was still standing with his back to everyone, while Spyro, Flynn and Bash and Brain were still unsure at the entrance to the Academy and it was he who started to cool everyone's dreams from the very beginning.

- carefully, let's be careful now, don't say anything, don't make sudden movements, we don't know how he will react to us. Brain said, at the same time the visitor from another world looked behind him and a certain note of uncertainty passed through everyone's hearts, but when the visitor raised his hands to the helmet to take it off, there was a loud gasp because no one was sure who was hiding under the helmet, finally the newcomer removed his helmet from his head revealing his delicate and normal because average face, a man with short blond hair and brown eyes, but what he already showed with his ordinary face made Bash and Flynn feel even more jealous especially when Cali and Flashwing took a deep breath as they stood up looking at a human as in a picture, which of course also spread, Stealth Elf, Aurora, Cynder and Ninjini.

- gosh how cute he is, I mean. Said Stelath Elf then jumped up and quickly covered her face so that no one could see her huge blush and feeling responsibility, jealousy and fear, Spyro and Brain came out first trying to stop everyone from a careless word or gesture, trying to say a word, but everything stopped the newcomer himself dematerializes his green-brown armor revealing a colorful shirt with fruit elements and brown trousers, bowing his head afterward and greeting everyone.

- hello, I'm Carlos Kozlowski, yes, I'm a man who came from another world, and I'm glad that it happened, that I can help you and there is something, oh yes. Carlos said introducing himself and greeting everyone, extending his hand, and his words, calm and warm voice broke all barriers, as if this man had never had any destructive power, everyone ran to the man, hugging him like the greatest friend, shaking hands and thanking him sincerely for everything from the fascinated Bouncer, Trigger Happy, Eruptor, Flameslinger, Gill Grunt and Chill to the most captivating human beings Cynder, Flashwing, Aurora, Ninjini, Cali and Stealth Elf.

- thank you for everything, for help, for rescuing, for everything. Said Ninjini as she leaned in front of the man and both deigned to squeeze his hand to finally hug him tightly lifting him high.

- hey, Ninjini, stop or you'll strangle him, you hear, now. Aurora said with a slight grimace on her face.

- you're not exactly alone here. Cali said, but before Aurora and Cali could thank the man when he was put back down, Cynder preceded them and hugged the man tightly.

- thank you, you saved my dad twice, thank you. Cynder said as she shed a tear.

- you really don't have to. Carlos said to the black and navy dragoness.

- oh, you have to pay for what you've done and are doing, if it wasn't for you, our world would be destroyed. Flashwing said, trying to pull Cynder away, but as soon as she succeeded, a Stealth Elf quickly took her place, also hugging the newcomer.

- I was so scared, so much, thank you, thanks to you I'm not afraid today. Aaaaa. Stealth Elf said before squealing as Flashwing and Aurora pulled her back by her blue braid to take her place.

- okay, that's enough. Said Brain but his opinion was never heard today instead, Aurora, Cali and Flashwing completely ignored him and not only they were able to thank the hero, even Carlos himself could not speak for a moment as his right and left arm were simultaneously squeezed by Trigger Happy and Flameslinger.

- man, I mean Carlos, what you did, how you shot them all is amazing, teach me how to shoot like that. Trigger Happy said, tugging Carlos with his right hand to pull him away from Flameslinger who had a similar request.

- no, teach me how to shoot with a bow, Trigger Happy is a rather difficult student. Flameslinger said also pulling Carlos's left hand trying to pull him away. Before they both suddenly went up, pulled away by Bouncer.

- little ones, take your seats, the bigger one has something to say here, Mr. Carlos. Bouncer said as he pushed his two friends aside.

- let there be only Carlos, Carlos kozlowski without Mr.

- sure, Carlos, man what you did, thank you all. Bouncer said, squeezing the man's smaller hand with natural caution.

- for everything, and it has to be said, you're really cute. Chill said chuckling under her breath.

- hey and me. Gill Grunt said.

- my little Gill, but you are more. Chill said touching the fishfish's nose.

Standing in the back, Spyro, Bash and Flynn looked at each other, took a deep breath and also greeted the human, but their current state did not allow them to be happy or grateful so much and the leader of all Brain finally found his moment to talk to human and ask him the most important question about how he got into the world of Skylanders.

- Carlos Kozlowski, yes, then tell me how you got here, have you always had such powers and who you are to us today, I need to know. Brain said and his questions, in particular who Carlos is to them, disgusted everyone who knew in man, but Carlos smiled at the creature's great brain and began to explain from the beginning how he got into their world.

- I don't know what it was, but it fell from the stars, it was golden, it looked like a Token with a double HH symbol, I knew immediately that what I found was something unusual, but as one gray man said, the last choice was up to me, and no, I didn't have any powers in my world, I guess it's a teleportation effect, anyway, I didn't give my choice to an undercover cop who wanted to take it from me, it was my choice because it's my truth, I always tell the truth, I never lie and I'm free from what makes my world so weak. Carlos said and his words and expression were very serious but not threatening so everyone listened to his words with natural curiosity and tension.

- your world is weak, pathetic, what do I mean by that. Brain asked.

- I have a question, do you know who people are. Carlos asked.

- well, yes, I have, I mean I had an antenna here, a TV and received transmissions from your world, I know what people are, and I don't understand why you are so different. Brain said alertly and attentively listening to the man's words.

- me and my friend Malinowski, we were, we are free from the forces that rule the world, we are crazy in our own way, he always saw everything bad in fear, fear is the beginning of all evil, and my friend's strength is madness and fighting fear, and my strength is truth and dreams, a common man, crazier than us, said that we are real madmen, exceptional above all, that's how he explained it and I believe it, I also see the same in all of you, I see the same innocence, purity, even in the hearts of your enemies, except for alien invaders. Carlos said ending his statement with a sincere smile.

- you see something good in them, in Kaossandra, Kaos, Malefor and Strykore, and Glumshanks. Bash asked in surprise, looking with Spyro and Flynn at the man who had just looked at them with his brown eyes.

- of course, they don't have that much evil in them, even the tall one in the black suit, I'm sure he's never seen the evil I've seen in my world, world wars, conflicts, quarrels, greed and lust for power, all of which always the same, lack of dreams, choices, come on, as if there were more in my world, and of course fear and lies, because that's the worst, anyway, I don't see anything in them other than regret, desire for revenge, but what I don't see in them I saw in the high-skulled ones, they have a predisposition for it, but they, and even more so you, besides the high-skulled ones, they were worried about you too, I saw it how that little robed big dragon, yeah a woman of undoubted birth, so reminiscent of my mother and a devoted troll, I believe in it and I say what I see, even the tall one is not that bad, he will soon see the face of evil if he hasn't already seen it. Carlos said, and his words caused Cynder and even Spyro to feel some warmth in their hearts, believing that someone like Kaossandra, Kaos, Malefor and Glumshanks could change.

- thank you for believing in my dad, thank you. Cynder said, widening her eyes at the man.

- and most importantly, Kaos, Kaossandra, Malefor and Glumshanks told us to give you thanks. Eruptor said.

Just out of curiosity, who were your parents?. Aurora asked, but seeing the man's gaze on the ground, she felt stupid, even feeling bad that her question could hurt a man, the more knowing that Carlos landed in another world and maybe he left there someone who was important to him, family, loved ones, friends.

- I'm sorry. Aurora said.

- no, nothing happened, it's just a memory, besides, in my world, I never felt at home, I've always been the other one, just like Malinowski, we've always been different, and my mother, well, I hope she's not worried, rather no, after i came along and my spanish father left us my mother became as hard as a rock, i doubt it would bother her especially now that she has someone by her side again, a new husband and a baby, but that's behind me now, and really don't be afraid to ask indiscreet questions I will always answer honestly, unless I keep silent which will mean that I don't want to answer. Carlos said winking at the six girls who now wanted to outdo each other in asking the most important question for themselves, fighting their own embarrassment until Chill interrupted everything.

- Carlos, did you have a girlfriend in your world. Chill asked causing everyone, even Carlos, to stutter.

- Um, it's a bit complicated, I couldn't fall in love with my world, I never found the one, because I could always feel it for a girl from my own imaginary world, because I treated my world as an unreal world, as if it was an illusion, because the world built under the power of fear and lies must be an illusion, that's the only truth, but I can fall in love probably like this, I think so. Said Carlos blushing nevertheless answered honestly sharing with everyone what he believed, what was his strength and what he could not hide from anyone, because he believed and saw that this world is free from the evil that ruled his world.

- and our world, or him. Stealth Elf asked logically in her head some facts waiting for the human's answer.

- your world, as I said, and I can confirm it today, is free of these forces, but evil has found its way in the form of invaders. Carlos said giving the Stealth Elf the answer she was hoping for because it meant her world was free and therefore there was a small chance that Carlos might feel something more.

- i knew our world was special. Gill Grunt said.

- everyone is special even in my world, everyone, but here more and I'm happy that I can help you. Carlos said.

- Speaking of help, Carlos, tell me if you'll become our master, that's how you fight with a sword. Ninjini said before she was quickly interrupted.

- Yeah, it's like a bow shooter. Flameslinger said.

- the way you shoot is thrilling, you will teach us everything you know, we have an arena here. Trigger Happy said jumping in place.

- why not, if you have time, I'll be happy to teach you something, go ahead. Carlos said materializing his armor.

- then follow me!. shouted Bouncer.

- won't follow me!. Eruptor shouted and everyone ran out of the Academy chamber, keeping the man talking all the time.

only Spyro, Flynn, Bash and Brain stood in the almost empty chamber sharing their fears, fears that even the spirit of Eon, appearing for a moment, had before man.

- he's too strong, too crazy, human, maybe he's not human, aaarrr, but he's, rrrrrsssss, dangerous, you have to be careful. Eon said before disappearing back into the spirit world and Spyro, Brain, Flynn and Bash looked at each other sure of one thing, problems.

L

Sometimes I prefer to live my own world, which is better than what surrounds me, a world full of evil, wars and corruption, and all because of fear and lies, fear and lies will always be the greatest evil for me, jealousy works differently and these three can show off envious such as Bash, Flynn and Spyro, and fear and fear can show off Brain and the spirit of Eon, basically they have something to be afraid of, because something great will always give rise to fear in uncertain hearts and that is Brain, on the other hand, many are fascinated by a man and even more so who did something extraordinary and decided to appear at the Academy, come on, it could be his big mistake.
