Two days have passed, days of peace and quiet, since the three Cyborg armies were defeated and since Carlos has not left the Academy, no major problems, attacks or even minor hits have been reported throughout Skylanders, it can be said that the enemy has withdrawn perhaps for a while or for good, because everyone knowing the strength of their new friend also knew that this time the enemy would think three times before attacking, so that day was equally calm, although most of the Skylanders Cadets were busy with various missions, mainly focused on reconnaissance of the surrounding areas, many of them did not feel fear, everyone was confident in faith that their new friend would effectively deter the aggressor's new actions to such an extent that there was even hope that their enemy would finally give up and leave their world alone.
On that day, in the Academy itself, between the arena, houses, observation towers, a white eagle Jet-Vac in blue armor and a pistol at his belt was walking, feeling more and more confident and happy, together with a red golem, Eruptor and a hooded friend in a dark blue robe Star Strike couldn't talk about anything but what happened right now. About three battles, the conversion of all bad guys, even Strykore who in the face of indescribable evil tried to outsmart indescribable evil and danger, about a new unusual couple, Chill and Gill Grunt and of course about the crazy idea of Brain.
- I don't understand why Brain wanted to do what he wanted, why he wanted to hit our unconscious friend, after all, thanks to him, Kaos, Malefor and Kaossandra, and Trolls and Strykore saw the truth, saw true evil, it's not serious. Said Jet-Vac looking intensely at the big building of the Academy's center where Brain was surely staying planning something special with everyone today.
- and I know, maybe he, as Carlos would say, maybe Brain succumbed to the power of a lie, I don't understand his logic, after all, without Carlos we would have no chance in the fight against the invader, it's not serious. Star Strike said as she adjusted her hood.
- frivolous, it seems our friend Brain has become very frivolous since Carlos came out of the shadows, you know, yesterday I was talking to our friend, and I think the best thing would be if Carlos didn't introduce himself, he just fought in the shadows, that's how I see it because look, when Carlos came out of the shadows and showed up at the Academy Brain got a veritable white fever, maybe it would be better if Carlos fought alone. He visited Eruptor looking only at the great arena where he had talked to everyone and the man the previous day.
- Eruptor, don't even say that, just said our friend from the human world. Jet-Vac asked.
- no, that's just me, because when he was in the shadows there were only questions, and now here you go Carlos came out of the shadows and what, Brain fell into a strange state of fear, and something else about them. Said Eruptor showing three silently walking friends, the first one was a purple dragon Spyro with a golden underbelly and horns, the second one was mabu, Flynn in a brown jacket and red scarf and goggles and the third one was a brown wingless dragon Bash.
The three of them passed silently watching the Eruptor and his gaze also landed on Star Strike and Jet-Vac.
- they are jealous, but for what. Jet-Vac asked.
- you know Jet-Vac, our friends Bash and Flynn have a right to be jealous, they like Flashwing and Cali a lot and lately they've been focusing their attention on people. Star Strike said.
- and what reason could Spyro have, well what. Jet-Vac asked.
- only that today it is not him who is the main topic of conversation but a man, Carlos. Eruptor said.
- with that I can agree, but not that Cali and Flashwingh are so interested in our friend. A woman warrior in a black and white kimono spoke up coming out of the alley with a white helmet on her head.
- I mean, what do you mean Aurora, right from what I saw you also look at him in a different way. Star Strike said leaning in front of Aurora.
- what!, me?, no. Aurora said with a slight smirk.
- I don't know, since yesterday you and Ninjini were jostling with each other and the Stealth Elf when you were training blade fighting with him. Jet Vac said.
- because me and Ninjini treat him like a champion we always wanted to have, and he is a champion, and an idol for many, you hear. Aurora said as three explosions rumbled outside the academy.
- what the hell is going on there. Eruptor asked.
- like what, our three friends, Bouncer, Trigger Happy and Flameslinger are also training with our human friend today, yesterday is not enough for them, no. Aurora said.
- oh yes, training with him is like fun for many of us, it's like watching small children. Jet-Vac said.
- because a man, Carlos is in his own way a small child, he also did not hide it as the fact that he never lies and fights against lies. She said Star Strike to the smiling white eagle, but his smile suddenly disappeared as a black familiar shadow appeared in the sky, and the natural fear of it made his right hand quickly go to the butt of the wind pistol.
The great black dragon Malefor landed from the sky accompanied by his black and navy blue daughter Cynder, after her father had an epiphany, transformation and saw the truth after breaking the lie by man and himself, Cynder today accompanied her father in patrolling the surrounding areas and seeing this Jet- Vac, still habitually anticipating trouble, had his right winged hand on the pistol again, just as he had met Kaos and Kaossandra returning from an expedition an hour ago, and earlier the new quartermaster Glumshank and many trolls fleeing from afar.
- I still can't get used to it. Said Jet-Vac, quickly withdrawing his hand from the weapon as the eyes of the great dragon fixed on him.
- don't worry, I understand, you have the right to be constantly disturbed by my presence here. Malefor said lowering his head.
- I don't see it that way, I don't see you as an enemy, but as a friend. Said Star Strike as she approached the black dragon from Eruptor and Aurora.
- Really. Malefor asked, his eyes wide as his heart suddenly began to tremble.
- of course, you are not our enemy and now we know that you never were, you just erred. Eruptor said.
- and you've changed, and what you're doing now is just right for you to become one of us. Aurora said.
- Thank you for everything. Thank you. Malefor said surprised and touched by the words of new true friends.
- Cynder, Malefor, how's the world, how are the movements of our enemies, you could see them somewhere. Star Strike asked.
- we haven't seen any traces of the enemy, it looks like they've given up, maybe they'll leave us alone eventually, I wish it would all be over, except for a strange incident in front of the academy where Bouncer, Trigger Happy and Flameslinger are training with Carlos this nothing interesting. Cynder said.
- Yeah, they're still the same, kids. Aurora said to herself.
- then, what now, what will we do, what will Carlos do. Jet-Vac asked.
- for now, we can only wait, and what Carlos will do, I know one thing for sure, he will always be here to protect us. She said Sure of her Cynder then ran with her father down the long street for another meeting and planning for the days ahead.
- it's amazing how everything has changed since the attack, at first everything seemed lost and here you are, Carlos fixes so much, and I'm deeply surprised how it happened that Carlos decided to stay here with us. Jet-Vac said.
- if you don't know, our friend is coming who convinced the man so much, hey Stealth Elf, tell me how you did it, how you convinced the man, because that's what you did. Aurora said but she was quickly interrupted, the green elf, in a brown costume, quickly disappeared and appeared in front of the female warrior grabbing her nose.
- Come on Aurora, not everyone needs to know. Said a slightly embarrassed Stealth Elf.
- But what?. Star Strike asked quickly and curiosity even began to bite into everyone's heads.
- like, Stealth you won't run away from us, I need to know how you did it, tell me. Said the Eruptor, lighting his head with a living flame.
- How, tell me, because I can't stand it. Jet Vac said.
Finally, cornered Stealth Elf let go of Aurora's nose and looked at everyone herself, not knowing how to get out of the current situation, her only chance was to simplify everything.
- Well, just ask, that's all. Stealth Elf said.
- ask, but how, first you grabbed his hands, looked him straight in the eyes and asked, how, I don't know. Aurora said chuckling under her breath.
At the same time, Hex, a blue elf in a black robe, burst out as if for salvation, waving her arms and saying something between deep breaths.
- well, what's with you in an hour, the ceremony, Malefor, Kaos and Kaossandra have already been summoned to the arena, and what about Carlos, where is he. Hex said.
- but what happened. Jet-Vac asked.
- you don't know, today is the swearing-in of the new cadets, but wait, does Carlos know about it. Star Strike asked.
- I don't think so. Eruptor said.
- of course not, it's supposed to be a surprise. Said the Stealth Elf, feeling very relieved that everything about her now disappeared, replaced by the matter of accepting new cadets.
- I'll go get our friend. Aurora said before being grabbed by the nose by the Stealth Elf again.
- I'm not going to get him. Stealth Elf said mumbling something under her breath.
- you're so jealous of him. Aurora asked, this time she didn't hear an answer, her friend first blushed and then disappeared and appeared from the other side of the intersection running to the gate where there was a loud party, training, whatever you could call it and Hex watching everything shook her head and giggled softly from the whole situation and the next competition.
Meanwhile, Brain, watching everything, from his headmaster's room from behind the desk and brown chair, still looked at the newcomer with great fear, he still had in his mind all the worst, his power, his humanity and possible future, i.e. the hegemony of man, today there was only one chance to solution to this problem, and was bonded to the three cadets who entered his room holding Flynn's last bag, the accompanying dragon Bash and Spyro waiting for the word and command of their friend and headmaster.
- everything is ready, just like the apparatus, the portal is stable?. Brain asked looking back.
- yes, almost, just need a few calibration settings. Flynn said.
- so the last task depends only on me, excellent, I will enter the appropriate bearings, behind me. Brain said as he rode in his chair.
- but just pure curiosity what are you planning. Bash asked.
- definitely something big right. Bash asked.
- and a very big one, a solution to our common problems, behind me. Brain said.
Less than a moment later, behind the great arena between it and the wall and the tower, Brain, standing in front of the console and the great cybernetic circle, was calibrating the last setting, outlining the only way to earth, the world of people, loading the portal with the last force and crystals that could help send the man from where he came, come both Flynn, Spyro and Bash were jealous of the man, but this was the moment when they shuddered, because today they themselves did not know if the banishment of their friend, the hero, was right here.
- Brain is it good, him, if not for him. He tried to say for all Flynn.
- don't be naive Flynn, the fact that he defends us today doesn't mean that he won't attack tomorrow, when the enemies, the Hymerians are defeated, he will turn against us, I know who people are, he is no different from them. Brain said.
- if not, he's a madman, he's a little kid, he always tells the truth, no, I don't believe it. Bash said twirling the brown club on his tail.
- ooh, Bash, Flynn or Jam to remind you how much he has already taken from you, Cali, Flashwing are too interested in him, what do you need to stop being soft today, this is your only chance, Spyro and you, go ahead and tell me how it is your opinion. Brain said directing the last question to the purple dragon, when Brain was manipulating the console by entering the last data Spyro suddenly became gloomy because today he felt that not only that is being taken away from him
- let it be that way. Spyro said as his dragon face expressed only intensity.
- I'm with you. Also said Bash joining the conspiracy.
- only when we lure him. Flynn said.
- he thinks we're naive, so let him believe it, then he'll fall into our trap, we'll tell him we want to do the leads and nothing else, you'll do it, now, ha ha ha ha. Brain laughed in a truly crazy style, so strange and crazy that it was equal to the bad heroes of the known world.
Less than an hour later, the cadets present who were not busy with scouting duties gathered in the arena, they were Carlos, Stealth Elf, Hex, Ninjini, Aurora, Chill, Gill Grunt, Flashwing, Cynder, Cali, Eruptor, Bouncer, Trigger Happy, Flameslinger, Jet-Vac and Star Strike, all the benches were full with also escapees including Glumshank and many Trolls, Spyro, Bash, Flynn sat together in the last seats of the arena and their confused gaze changed to intensity and certainty as they looked at the blond man in the colored shirt and brown pants flanked by, Aurora, Ninjini, Cali, Flashwing, Cynder and Stealth Elf, and in the center appeared the three new cadets of the academy, Malefor the Eternals Black Dragon, Kaossandra a woman in black and red with a horned helmet and her son of Kaos today also clothed in a black robe, but their hearts were not completely black today, on the contrary, the three chosen ones felt great pride, joy and determination to do anything to correct their mistakes.
- today I am incredibly proud, today I see three new members of our heroic community, old enemies now new friends, thank you all that this day has come, thank you, Malefor, Kaossandra, Kaos, your transformation, your extraordinary strength and light, I am sorry that Strykore is not with us either, he and his light would give us as much strength today but you, your will and transformation show us all how proud I am of you today, and you should be. Brain said loudly, coming closer on his movable chair, and pride in the hearts of Malefor, Kaossandra and Kaos, they were just seething with pride and joy, the three bowed their heads waiting for their turn and something else because today they were also initiated into a certain secret.
- but it's not over yet, because someone else is missing here, the fourth cadet. Carlos Kozlowski, perform!. Brain said loudly.
Hearing his name, Carlos jumped up, not believing what had happened to him today.
- me!. Carlos asked surprised, because he had never expected anything like this before, usually such breakthroughs took place in his own world, in his own he could never count on such a great honor, honestly and honestly, because the human world was only full of interests and goals, people who went after others to gain fame and glory, it was all a republic of dudes who marked each other and chose each other, a world full of so-called pigs who replaced others by acquaintances.
- Carlos, go ahead, it's your big day. Said Stealth Elf, seeing indescribable joy and emotion in brown human eyes.
- All right. Carlos said as he walked down the steps and stood proudly next to Malefor who owed him so much.
- so new cadets, it's time for you to become part of our great family, serve the oath, and repeat after me, we will always be true to tradition and honesty, we will always defend the light and good, we will always be the shield and armor in the coming dark hours, so be it, we swear." Said Brain a Malefor, Kaos, Kaossandra and Carlos took oaths on the words of Brain, swearing always to be faithful and defend the world of Skylandrs.
This is how the applause sounded, everyone started running from the stands and hugging their new comrades and friends, many felt pride today, and commitment for the future, Malefor hugging his daughter Cynder tightly promised himself that he would always be close to defend the world and would do everything to repay the man someday . Kaos shaking hands with Aurora, and Star Strike, vowing never again to let the lust for revenge overwhelm him, come close to it after losing his father his spirit didn't want revenge so he also fought and won against it today, and of course Kaossandra hard hugged by Ninjini, vowing to never again follow the path that led her to evil.
There was much cheer, cheers and smiles except for Spyro, Bash and Flynn, they ended up stopping everything by asking Carlos to meet with what turned out to be Brain to check things out.
- it won't be long, we'll be back soon. Spyro said.
- exactly, Brain wants to discuss something with our friend, and it's not about his powers, is it Flynn. Bash said.
- exactly Bash, Brain wants to talk to you, like a principal with a student. Flynn said.
- If that's the case, I'll be there in a moment. Carlos said, his brown eyes showing extreme joy and pride that he had found more than just a home, that he had found his own world in a real place.
- in exactly a few minutes, give us some time with our hero. Cali said teasingly to her friend.
- maybe even an hour. Flashwing, the blue and white crystal dragoness, said with great delight, offering her front paws to the new cadet.
- maybe in ten minutes, but no sooner. Cynder said as she jostled with Stealth Elf and Flashwing.
The three conspirators muttered something and walked away into the darkness of the exit, and Kaos, listening and watching them, felt that look inside him, that strange whisper, all too familiar when he was still angry.
- they're up to something. Kaos said to himself and then slipped out of the arena, following the three conspirators, hiding from their joint behind the great wall of the arena.
It was here that Kaos saw the meeting, waiting Brain manipulating something on his keyboard, and the three conspirators, Spyro, Bash and Flynn.
- so when the man arrives, you said it's important. Brain asked.
- yes, we tried to get him to come now, but well, there are problems not with him but with others. Said Flynn now utterly determined to banish man from their world.
- yes, I expected it, but the most important thing is the man's answer to it. Brain asked as he finished tapping his two tentacles on the keyboard.
- he said he'd be here shortly. Said Bash also full of anger and determination.
- then we will banish him, from our world, this is the greatest threat to all of us. We will banish this hegemon forever. Brain said rubbing his tentacles.
- no one will take what he has from me. Spyro said.
Hearing this, Kaos suddenly shivered and began to run, running on small legs, until he fell head first into the ground in the very center of the arena. Looking looking for a man.
- where is Carlos, where is he. Kaos asked nervously.
- he already went, you know Kaos, to meet Brain, and what happened, the cyborgs are on their way. asked the great blue giants and the red-haired Ninjini.
- it's worse, Brain has gone mad, he wants to use the last crystal-charged portal to banish Carlos to his world!. Kaos shouted and his words caused waves of disbelief, but no one today had any reason not to believe in the words of their new friend and cadet.
- he went mad, what a fool!. Aurora screamed as she was the first to rush to the exit from the arena.
- if I catch him, why is he doing this!. The angry golden Giant Bouncer screamed.
- it's not just him, Spyro, Bash and Flynn are in it too, but it's not time for that fast. Kaos shouted and the sewn ones rushed to the exit beyond Cynder and Malefor who soared into the sky and landed in front of a glowing portal, a man standing inside and Brain laughing madly.
- today your hegemony and threat to the future ends forever man, away, cha cha cha cha. laughed like a madman Brain, until suddenly a strong light and a strong shockwave knocked everyone out.
When the light fell, everyone was shocked to see the man still standing, his face full of incomprehension, eyes full of regret until Carlos closed his eyes, materialized his armor, his helmet turned on Brain trying to get up and his hand grabbed the hilt of the sword, seeing this Brain screamed the same like the three conspirators, Spyro, Bash and Flynn, but Carlos didn't want to attack anyone, returning only to empty space.
- Carlos, please, no!. shouted the Stealth Elf, throwing herself at the man and grabbing his right hand, stopping Carlos in place.
- please, Carlos, I don't know what you want to do, I know you're confused, shocked, please, they didn't know what they were doing, they were afraid, please. She said Stealth Elf holding tightly to her right hand and green-brown armor Carlos didn't look at her though, all he did was lowered the hilt of the stirrer allowing the Stealth Elf to release him, but this was the moment he'd been waiting for, Carlos took off for the gate, grabbed his sword , crossed the space and stepped into the cracking portal without even looking back.
- Carlos, please it's not like that, please don't leave us, me!. screamed the Stealth Elf but it was too late, the portal shattered and closed and the beautiful day ended as badly as it could.
A few moments later, behind the Skylanders Academy arena, everyone gathered, Stealth Elf, Hex, Ninjini, Aurora, Chill, Flashwing, Cynder, Cali, Eruptor, Bouncer, Trigger Happy, Flameslinger, Jet-Vac, Star Strike, couldn't understand, no was able to break through its shock for a moment, today was a great and unusual day for their friend from the human world, and everything ended like the worst nightmare, now four conspirators, navy blue Brain, purple dragon Spyro, Mabu Flynn in a brown jacket and trembling with with him a red scarf and a brown wingless dragon Bash hiding behind his club on his tail, all four were forced to face something worse than an entire army of cyborgs, face pain, anger and rejection of their friends and loved ones.
- how could you, how could you, why, why, why are you so afraid of him!. The green Stealth Elf screamed, clenching her hands on the hilts of the blades, looking with her luminous eyes in a crazy way at Brain, who was protecting himself with tentacles.
- I meant well, he, I thought. Brain tried to explain himself, but suddenly, like an avalanche, everyone interrupted him.
- Well, what did you think, huh!. A furious red and yellow Trigger Happy shouted as his ears set high, quivering with rage.
- what about him scared you so much, well, what did he do to you!. The green Elf shouted his question, Flameslinger clutching his bow tightly, resisting the temptation to shoot a single arrow at the plotter chief.
- someone explain to me why, why you did it, Brain, explain why!. The golden Giant Bouncer shouted the strongest, even thundering voice, setting his tire on fire, which made a huge mark in the ground.
- I, have you not seen it, is a human, and any human would eventually turn against us, his power is too dangerous here. Brain tried to excuse himself by constantly shielding his yellow eye from Steath Elf's rage and Bouncer's wrath.
- that's why, that's why you were afraid of him because he was human, because he had powers, have you never seen it, Carlos has always stood out from all humanity, I've seen it myself, he was and is different, he's a madman, he's a child and an adult in one thing, he is ready to die for all of us, because now for the betrayal you committed, I don't know myself anymore, and I'm surprised that he didn't do anything to you. Said Star Strike shivering called blue and navy robe, hood and hands close to her two disco blades.
- and you know why he didn't attack us, you were here. Said Brain going on the offensive but only for a while.
- He didn't attack you because he doesn't hurt his friends, because he forgave you. An angry white Jet-Vac eagle in blue armor screamed.
- you hurt him so much and yet he managed to forgive you, but I don't know myself, in his place for such betrayal I would make pancakes out of you!. Chill, a female warrior in white and blue armor, screamed in fury, being held back with difficulty by Gill Grunt, a blue fish-like creature with a harpoon launcher behind her, until the roles were reversed.
- you should suffer the consequences for what you did. Gill Grunt said furiously grabbing his harpoon and this time he was being stopped by Chill.
- you keep talking about him as a terrible man, but this time you acted like people, I heard a bit about the human world, Carlos told me a lot about everything about the world he comes from, and today you are people here, and you Brain the worst of them!. Screamed the blue elf, Hex in a black robe, and her gaze was even more terrifying than the image of a cybernetic soldier.
- you are worse than people, why!. Stealth Elf shouted, picking up Brain and waving it around like a toy.
- for what Flynn, tell me for what!. Called an angry Cali, mabu in a brown-and-yellow jacket.
- Bash, tell me why you don't like him so much, what he did to you. She shouted in the brown dragon's face an angry Flashwing, flapping her white and navy blue wings, crossing her eyebrows at the terrified brown dragon.
- Spyra, tell me what it was supposed to be, I always considered you the most sensible, wise, thanks to you I found a new way, you helped me, and now you ruined it all with one act, why, Spyra, why, were you afraid of man too. Cynder, an angry navy blue dragoness, asked.
- I envied him, was it such a big sin, me, Flynn and Bash, envied him, how everyone looked at him, how he became a hero, the apple of your eye, I couldn't fight it, now I know that I made the biggest mistake, and he no longer expects pity. Spyro said as he bowed his head to Cynder and everyone.
- this will be very hard, how could you envy, after all, Carlos never did anything for fame and glory, his greatest gift all he wanted was to find in our world what he couldn't in his, outside his own inner world of imagination, and he found what friendship, acceptance and even. Aurora said but suddenly fell silent as she met the Stealth Elf's sharp gaze and the fact that they both knew something else.
- we didn't want it, it was stronger than us. Bash tried to explain himself.
- but you did it, and on his greatest day, today is probably the first time in my life I've seen someone with such happy eyes, such a smile, his tears of joy were real, he found what you took from him today!. The blue giant with red hair Ninjini screamed, then grabbed her two swords hidden behind the back of her dark blue armor.
- well, we did something very bad today, show us but stop yelling at us, we know what we did, we know that you can never hurt a friend, but what good will it do today!. Flynn screamed, falling to his knees and holding his head tightly in shame in front of Cali and all.
- the worst thing about your stupidity is that today we may have been left alone, he may leave us, I've never seen such a great shock in his eyes, in his eyes, shock and disappointment, you let everyone down and yet he forgave you. Said Stealth Elf dropping from Brain's hands who hit the ground and trembled before the unknown, until suddenly standing aside Kaos, Kaossandra, Malefor and Glumshanks stepped in front of everyone, as it turned out, defending the four conspirators.
- it's really enough, they've already got theirs, your words, your anger hurts more than a thousand blows, they made mistakes and we know what it's like to first err and then, like today, still fight with guilt. Said the great black dragon Malefor and his daughter Cynder also lowered her head knowing how her father felt now.
- they know that they did wrong today, out of jealousy, out of fear, how much you remind me today from the beginning of my bad career and today when I understood my actions, evil deeds and mistakes, you can't punish them today, they also need support. Kaos said the youth in the black robe and the others including Trigger Happy, Bouncer and Flameslinger looked at the ground and their gaze started to soften.
- you're right, boss, I remember you from those times, pain and jealousy, you needed help but no one gave it to you. Said the green troll Glumshanks.
- they suffer enough already and please don't add more to them, try to reach out to them to give them a second chance like they and you gave us a second chance. Said a woman in black and red, with a horned helmet, Kaossandra defending the four conspirators.
So something happened that was almost impossible, four former enemies, evil, rotten to the core, today they repentant, knowing their own mistakes, stood up to defend the four conspirators, even asking everyone's forgiveness, something that was almost impossible but now after the Hymerian invasion and O.K. and the arrival of man to the world of Skylanders, so much has changed, Brain, Spyro, Bash and Flynn looked with great surprise at the four new friends, once enemies and suddenly their hearts felt perhaps the greatest pang because of pure guilt, suddenly their jealousy and fear, everything what motivated them so far cracked like a false image created by a lie, the image of an evil man who would one day take over or destroy their world, take away their loved ones, now it has all cracked and crumbled like a house of cards.
- I shouldn't, never again, I don't even have the right to ask you for forgiveness. Spyro said, but widening his eyes, he saw Cynder give him a paw first.
- everyone makes mistakes, it's important to see and admit a mistake and then fix it somehow. Said Cynder with behind her father Malefor who does a lot to correct his own mistakes.
- can I ask for forgiveness, Cali, you, probably not, but I'll do everything to fix my mistakes, just let me do it. Flynn begged as he got up from his knees.
- it's hard but I forgive you, and now you have to think how to fix your mistakes. Cali said as she helped her friend up, looking right at Kaossandra.
- I know you hate me today. Bash said, ashamed to look not only into Flashwing's eyes, but even into the eyes of Glumshanks standing close by.
- hate is too strong of a word, I doubt I could hate you even if he defected to the Hymerian side, no, I can't hate but I'm angry, besides oh you. Flashwing said hugging Bash in her heart forgiving him everything out of the corner of her eye also looking at Kaos who knew that he too had been forgiven so much.
- what have I done, did you, you. Brain asked looking at everyone.
- we'll forgive you, the question should be what Carlos will do about all this. Said Star Strike feeling now only fear of the unknown future.
For a moment, no one knew how to answer this question, many even felt fear that their friend, after the betrayal committed by the four conspirators, would cause such a stir today and strike a man that Carlos would never help them again, but there were unwavering hearts here, binding into a man despite what the conspirators had done to him.
- Carlos is a hero, a crazy man, one of a kind, he will always be out there somewhere, always, I believe it. Aurora said.
- I believe in it too, even though we let him down, he won't let us down, I believe because today you have to believe in something, believe in him despite what happened to him today. Said Ninja.
- I will always believe. Said the Stealth Elf as she left everyone, the arena and the four conspirators who are left today only to ask for more of themselves to forgive themselves.
- Stealth wait. Ninjini screamed and together with Aurora they ran after their friend.
Stealth Elf, hearing the voice and footsteps, quickly ran to the academy until she herself, not knowing when she found herself outside the academy in front of a large crater where her friend Carlos fought a truly heroic battle in the past days.
- I don't understand why they were so afraid of him, envious for what. She said Stealth Elf sit on the rim of the crater.
- as Carlos would say, they let themselves be taken over by a lie, that's all, I know it doesn't justify them, but they need to be understood and forgiven. Said the Ninjini sitting on the right.
- the question is will he forgive them and us, today I saw people's delighted eyes, his joy, and then shock and silence, his eyes closed, everything it could mean, but I don't know. Aurora said sitting on the left side.
- I don't know what he must feel now, he trusted us first, he helped us out of purity of heart, out of nobility, not wanting anything for his help, that's why he left the academy after the first meeting, but maybe I did wrong asking him to stay with us, he should go on my lonely way, but I couldn't do otherwise, he!. Stealth Elf screamed now angry at herself, squeezing her hands tighter and tighter.
- I also regret what happened. Said Ninja.
- but now we can't give up, we can't. Aurora said.
Suddenly a surge of anger welled up in the Stealth Elf's heart as she looked right at Ninjini and left at Aurora, knowing something else.
- so be it, I've seen it, and I see it, I won't stand in your way.
- but Stealth, you're crazy, I, I know what appeared in your heart, I've seen it for some time. Aurora said blushing slightly and avoiding her friend's gaze.
- you said you saw it, so why haven't you told anyone yet?.
- because friends keep secrets, besides you don't have a competitor in me, I like him, Carlos is for me like a champion that I didn't have, the way he fights and how he teaches is something amazing, it's a fascination and nothing more. Said Aurora, now looking confidently into luminous eyes full of hope.
- that's how I see it too, Carlos was and is only an inspiration, nothing more, I treat him as a master, friend and nothing more and you, Steath, can't give up either. Ninjini said confidently and both Stealth Elf and Aurora looked at her.
- what do you mean by that.
- Stealth, listen, just because Carlos was hit very hard today doesn't mean he won't stop being our friend, I believe that, but today you have the most to do here, Carlos was hurt, he can't be alone when you meet him talk with him even if he doesn't want to and don't be afraid I know, I believe that he won't hurt you, I saw and heard how you can stop our friend, you persuaded him to stay here with us, you held his hand and stopped him him from escaping for a while, and that's no coincidence, you have a big influence on him, probably the greatest of all of us. She said Ninjini and her sincere words made a great wave of hope in the heart of the brave elf.
- Ninjini, that's really how you see it, I mean, but is it possible?. asked the Stealth Elf, her eyes wide and her hands trembling slightly.
- I can't disagree with our friend's words, there is something in what Ninjini says, see for yourself, you kept him at the Academy, you stopped him from his first attempt to escape after what the four conspirators did, you must fight not to give up when he meet again, I know for sure that you will keep him, you will do anything. Aurora said holding her green friend by the left hand.
- really, yes!, I will, I will fight, when I meet him, I will do everything to stop him, everything. The Stealth Elf said, squeezing her friend's hands tightly in a white kimono.
Stealth Elf looked at the crater full of determination, feeling in her heart that everything that had already taken place, how she stopped and convinced the man could not be without reason, a certain strong hope appeared in her heart, so strong that she was ready to fight the whole army of cyborgs if she had to, the Stealth Elf rose abruptly from the edge of the crater ready to go, to do anything to meet the human again, to apologize to him and do everything, to convince him, to beg him to return to the Academy with her again, but she did not know that someone was also watching that day an entire academy and now a tiny crow-like bot shot up from behind a tiny island, rushing with new information for what is now the biggest threat to the entire world.
Two hours later, in the bridge, in a great circle on six black chairs, the Hymerians gathered, banished, forgotten, they, the perpetrators of all the evil that now fell on the world of Skylanders, Habironus in a red-blue robe with a big smile watched recorded videos showing betrayal and an attempt to banish man, the same smile was also shared by Hirusa dressed in a blue toga with a golden shawl, she also saw a great breakthrough in it, Orous with a furrow on his forehead, in a white toga with orange insignia was focused exclusively on the four conspirators, understanding their logic, Gieta in a green robe and black with her shawl, she was focused on the naivety of the Skylander cadets and sincerely made fun of their forgiveness, naivety, Nytus, fat in a brown toga, wrinkled a white tattoo on his forehead because he did not expect such a thing from the hands of the cadets and their headmaster, while Esina scratched her head, brushing her cashmere hair with pink robe wondered how this could be used, and this question was asked now.
- since the enemies split up, they betrayed their hero, what now, does it mean that Carlos will cease to be our enemy as he was before. Esina asked.
- here we would have to ask our master planner how the calculation of O.K. what do you think, is the naivety of the cadets confirmed by anything. Nytos asked, stroking his big belly devouring another Tacos.
- I can't tell, the man is too chaotic, he didn't do anything, his eyes were blank and more importantly he didn't say anything, it looked like he swallowed it all, understand the madman here. He said O.K. and his steel eight-horned face appeared on the big screen in the middle of computers and charts.
- but he must have felt something, it must have hit him somehow, there is no other way, something like this always hurts and it's from the hands of friends. Gieta said, expecting the only answer that could satisfy her today and she finally got one from O.K.
- I'm sure today the human, Carlos, will be very disgusted, it will surely hurt him, maybe even give up defending the whole world of Skylanders. He said O.K.
- and I was waiting for it. Gieta said, rubbing her hands together.
- but. Tried to say O.K.
- well, there's always a but, come on O.K. tell me what's bothering you today. Gieta said, pushing her head and skull against her hand and clenched fist.
- the cadets from the Academy may also be right, even though he was hurt, there is a high probability that Carlos will continue to defend the world because it's the naive nature of a hero, but not a madman, it seems to me that he can do both, reconcile a lot against everything So I can't tell what a person will do. said O.K.
- yes, that was to be expected, we can only hope that in three weeks when six armies are created, it will eventually weaken the man enough to defeat him once and for all. Orous said, clasping his hands in front of him.
- but is it enough, the man has surprised us many times, survived three battles, it is not known what power he still has,. almost O.K. stated that man has a particle of power from the cosmos, everything can be possible here. said Hirusa.
Meanwhile, Habironus, who was listening to the conversation, suddenly looked suspiciously at the big screen and O.K.'s face, because at one point, when he was listening to his words, he heard something very important, he understood that there was more than one "but".
- O.K., tell me what other one you have, but go ahead. Habironus asked, and everyone looked first at him and then at the cast steel face and the smile that appeared, which was rather unusual for a non-senting machine.
- I don't think we'll have to wait three weeks, maybe. He said O.K.
- you found a way to defeat him. Hirusa asked with her jaw dropped.
- you know how to stop it. Nytus asked nervously stroking his belly.
- how to surprise him, lead him into a trap, O.K. tell us quickly. Gieta said, leaning forward on the black chair.
- we won't have to wait for the contract of six armies, only three will be enough, because after the third I will lead a man into a trap, instead of creating the other three, I will use all the power I have to destroy him, I'm ready for that, my eight horns are ready, just weaken him for enough to deal a devastating blow. He said O.K.
- ha ha, that's what I was waiting for. Gieta screamed, getting up from her seat.
- so when do we start. Orous asked.
- we should as soon as possible, unless the man does not show up. Esina said.
- if he doesn't show up, we'll have less problems on our minds and when I pull the power of the world, even he won't be able to handle me at full strength. He said O.K.
- so I'd love to know the date of the attack, the locations, everything. Habironus said, picking at his beard.
- in six days, then we'll hit three places, I even have a pick, green jungle, dark places and ice villages and mountains, and one of these places will be the last place where man will be a problem for us, but the battles are supposed to start an hour apart from myself, one, an hour later, a second, and a third, and I wish I'd had time to build the latest Exo skeleton for you, Habironus. He said O.K.
- a new skeleton, that is. asked Habironus, rising from his chair and listening to O.K.'s honey-sweet words with a big smile.
- experimental armor, Ultra Exo Emperor, armor five times stronger than Exo Hegemon and twenty Warmongers, my pinnacle, unless you'd rather wait. He said O.K.
- no, today I'm not so patient, not at all, I would love to try the new armor on a human, but I prefer not to risk it, besides, I rely on your great plan my great friend, so be it, in six days we will hit three places, let the world Skylandrs will shudder if a man decides to continue defending traitors so be it, O.K. you trap a man and destroy him, and then the whole world of Skylanders will tremble before our power, power in the form of a decision over the essence of this world and its destruction. Habironus said squeezing his hands tightly.
O.K., he closed his eyes, agreed with Habironus and all the Hymerians, then began to prepare his grand plan, the question was eyes Carlos these days will continue to fight for the world of Skylanders or not, but whether or not it will seem that the enemy has everything answer and is able to take advantage of practically every situation that arises in the coming times.
L
In the end, the lie and the unconscious alliance with the Hymerians took its toll, though everything was so beautiful, Carlos found what he had never found in his world, it was given to him, but that same day by a stupid conspiracy with the power of fear and lies, all that it was beautiful it was taken in a brutal way, Brain, Spyro, Flynn and Bash betrayed, lied and cheated, they dealt probably the worst blow that could be dealt, the worst, because what could be worse than that, I would love to know.
