Two days of waiting passed and they were not nice days, they were days full of fear and uncertainty, no one knew what could have happened since Bash, Spyro, Flynn and Brain left the Academy, they gave no sign of life, and many today were very afraid that their friends could get into trouble today and the accusations themselves were on a daily basis, many even set out to search for nearby, close and safe areas, others simply bustled around the Academy feeling guilty that it was them who could have caused the tragedy, that it was because of their guilt and accusations, everything could end in tragedy.
When some blamed themselves, others tried to find a trace, it was who decided to act, not wait with folded arms and set off on the farthest journey to a dangerous area where, as rumors said and the invaders themselves, a great base called O.K. rested. and she wasn't alone, Cali today, mabu in a brown-yellow caftan had just finished reviewing the third last Duo Copter with an additional rocket attack that could easily outrun even a flying dragon, but as rightly noted in the warehouse behind the great arena the other three Duo Copters were in just as badly damaged on purpose, after completing the inspection Cali closed the engine cover from in front of the pilot's seat as she descended the small ladder and looked at the two worried dragonesses, a black and blue Cynder and a white and blue Flashwing who trembled with their navy blue crystal wings.
- Cali and how, it's worse than we think, tell me as soon as possible. Flashwing said, trying to control the trembling of her wings.
- unfortunately it's bad, Flynn knows how to damage the engine, he did it on purpose so that no one would follow him, it's all because of me, I shouldn't have accused him like that. Cali said with a trembling voice.
- so what are we going to do now, there must be a way, maybe a portal. Said Cynder was also overcome by fear of the unknown.
- no, unfortunately I have to give you bad news and it is common knowledge, and it is even documented, that the essence of these cyborgs and their main base causes a lot of disturbance if Bash, Flynn, Spyro and Brain flew to where there is the greatest disturbance and the Hymerian base itself, then we have no chance to open a portal there, we can't do anything. she visited Cali resigned because today she was already in a lost position and the next day of waiting, the third or fourth would be unbearable for less.
- why should I have done this to him?. Cynder said, angry with herself.
- After all, what I did could cost him his life, no!, don't even think about it. Cali, you have a plan, you must have a plan today. Cynder asked, fighting her extreme emotions.
- unfortunately I don't, I can try to fix the engine using parts from the other Copter, but it will take time. Cali said taking the repair wrench in her hands.
- how long. Flashwingt asked, handing Cali the bag with the remaining tools.
- until tomorrow, I don't know if you want to wait that long, finally you can fly you have a chance, of course the Copter flight would be much faster, but this way, if you want to fly, I'll join you tomorrow. Cali said and Cynder and Flashwing were torn apart again today, somewhere out there in an unknown place, their friends could be in big trouble, maybe only they could help them, but on the other hand, they didn't want to be apart anymore, they didn't want to leave Cali, yeah the mission was their joint idea.
So torn apart inside, Flashwing and Cynder looked at each other and nodded, agreeing to wait one more day.
- All right then, let's wait. Cynder said.
- and we will help, together maybe we will finish the repair by the afternoon, in the worst case by dusk. Flashwing said.
- so get to work, and thank you for not leaving me alone, I, come on today I feel a little guilty, you should go find them and I, I feel like a ball and chain right now. Cali said as she stopped in front of a white ladder stained with engine oil.
- Cali, even call me that, we're friends, and friends help each other, so what will you need. Cynder asked, searching for tools on the table and the red cabinet closest to the exit overlooking the entire Academy.
It was a moment when Cynder hesitated for a moment, because she was looking at the world again, quiet, calm, and yet so close to destruction and all the worst, but not from the old evil, which was Kaos running fast somewhere on the other side of the Academy.
- what's going on, hey Cynder, if you want to help, give me those screwdrivers, I need them, Cynder, what's up!. Cali shouted braggingly, not understanding the strange behavior of the dragoness until the warehouse trembled slightly at something indefinable.
- what was that. Flashwing asked, running up to Cynder, looking first at the running figure in a black robe, and then at the small smoke coming from behind the walls of the Academy.
- I don't know, but something's going on. Said Cali, looking at the horizon until everyone was shocked by the roar of the running black dragon.
- well, why are you standing there, faster, your friends came back healthy. Malefor shouted and ran to the west gate.
- that's how!, girls, so what are we waiting for, come on. Flashwing said as she took off.
- I'll be the first. Cali said running.
- not me, Cynder said as she took to the sky and flew over the high wall.
- hey, that's not fair, I don't have wings. Said Cali, catching the great noise of the air, but she couldn't even catch up with the blue-and-white dragoness running in front of her.
Finally, the three of them were on the green earth, Cali, Flashwinhg and Cynder passing Stealth Elf, Ninjini, Hex, Bouncer, Eruptor, Crusher, Kaos, Kaossandra, Malefor and Glumshanks on their way and stopped in front of the smoking Duo Copter and a tired purple dragon lying on the pilot's window.
- Spyro, you're okay. Cynder she asked as she helped her friend off the hull.
- Flynn, tell me what possessed you, why you did it. She said Cali also helping mabu out in brown jacket and red scarf, Flynn looked at her, smiled and shrugged.
- Bash, you really are not serious, we were all worried about you. She said Flashwing as she helped the wingless bronze dragon that had just fallen out of the passenger seat to his feet.
- I, I mean, we found something very important, we Spyro, it's something really important and worth our crazy try. Bash said, dusting himself off.
- and very important, I've seen too much, I know what they want to do. said Spyro, and his words even caused a new wave of fear and fear.
- what they want to do, who!. Kaossandra asked, her black horned crown trembling with her.
- like who, you don't know, they!. Said Glumshanks also trembling green ears and all brown waistcoat.
- them again, Hymerians, their robo legions, what are they doing, tell us quickly, what's their plan. Bouncer golden giant said.
- tell us where they are, because that's all we care about, not how many and where they are. The blue Ninjini said, grabbing the swords from behind her navy blue armor.
- that's right, no matter how many, I mean, yes, yes, where they are, what they're doing. The red golem Eruptor asked, but hesitantly.
- It's always good to know in advance what they're up to, man it's a good thing I have a new hammer, but this time I won't let them take it away from me. Said the gray Giant Crusher, gripping the new hammer's handle tightly.
- wait a minute, listen to what our friends have to say first, and then we'll plan. The blue elf in the black Hex robe said, interrupting everything.
- that's right Hex, let's get to the truth first, everything, Brain tell me what you know. asked the Stealth Elf in the brown tunic.
- so listen, we went all the way to the edge of the known world, to the Outlands, there we saw huge transports fly by, there were nine of them, the transports divided into three teams, the first me, Flynn and Bash followed and we know for sure that their main destination is Lost Island Yes, Cali, Mabu's house. Brain said, shocking Cali so much that her hands trembled with excitement.
- then it's too late, please tell me if it's too late. Cali asked, waving Brain like a rag toy.
- Cali, slowly, let Brain speak, because Brain is what the situation is, has the attack already started.
- no, not yet, maybe tomorrow, by then according to my calculations there will be three different attacks at intervals equal to an hour, I don't know why but it will be, the most important thing is that until then we have a chance to intervene, do something, at least evacuate Mabu from Lost Island, in case the man doesn't show up. Brain said.
- Carlos will come, I'm sure of it. Stealth Elf said clasping her hands in front of her in anger.
- all right, but it doesn't change the fact that we shouldn't be careful, we need to deal with this matter as soon as possible, we need to save my home and my kin. Cali said shakily.
- we will take care of this personally. Flynn said, standing to attention.
- well, what about the other teams, what are they doing now. Eruptor asked.
- i took care of one of them myself. Said Spyro standing proudly in front of everyone.
- you yourself, you really have a bit of madness in you. Kaos said, nudging the Glumshanks standing next to him.
- that's right boss, our new friend is a little crazy as a human isn't he. Said Glumshanks, and the words of the former foe and the green troll meant a lot to the purple dragon now.
- my hero, I'm glad you're okay. Cynder said.
- I must be crazy, but so am I. Malefor said.
- all right, Spyro, get to the heart of the matter because we don't have much time. Crusher said as he swung his hammer ready to fight.
- unfortunately it's bad, tracking three transports I saw their main direction, and it doesn't change from the beginning of disconnection with the others, I even heard a conversation from the deck, they want to attack Faylar Jungle, they want to suck all the power out of this place and disappear. Spyro said shaking everyone with another bad news.
- man, this day was supposed to start so nice and good and here you go, bad news after bad news. Said Ninjini grabbing her red hair with her left hand.
- that is another, because the second attack within an hour and starting tomorrow. Hex asked also not expecting something like this.
- unfortunately yes, the enemy goes to the next attack again and it's worse because the third group. Spyro said.
- wait, and this third group is who was spying. the woman in black and red asked Kaossandra.
- grraaaaa, that's what I took care of yaaaa, and I don't have much time. Said the twinkling spirit of Eon.
- what!, Eon, ale, so what is their direction, where will the third group strike. Stealth Elf asked.
- these are Winter areas, their main goal is to be Winter Keep. Graaaa, stop them if he doesn't come, I don't know, graaaa. Eon said his last words and disappeared back into his world, still feeling weak, still weakened by the manifestation of O.K. forces. and what I am O.K. did in the world of Skylanders.
- no, it's impossible, three more blows, three more attacks but this time in three more distant places, why does the enemy do it again. Ninjini asked, trying to find an answer.
- I don't understand why the enemy repeats the old mistake again, after all they know how their last assaults, three attacks and three defeats ended. Bouncer said.
- maybe they believed that Carlos left us, wait, that means we were bugged the whole time!. Cynder screamed.
- oh no, bugged, and if that's not all, if those piglets were spying on us!. Flashwing screamed.
- not that, me!. Cali screamed, blushing heavily on her face.
- does it matter now. Eruptor asked, waving his arms at the whole thing.
- Eruptor, you're lucky because you don't dress like me and Cali. She also said an embarrassed Stealth Elf.
- we too. Said the disgusted Kaos, rolling up his robe just like the embarrassed Kaossandra.
- come on, they certainly weren't spying on you, they mean important matters, and since they attacked again, they must have seen and heard the event that took place a few days ago, they must have seen how part of us wanted to expel a man and saw Carlos leave, maybe they believe that today we are alone. Crusher said, shaking his head because he didn't believe Carlos would leave them today either.
- if it is so that today he joined them. Said Glumshanks but was quickly knocked down by his boss' scream.
- Glumshanks!, don't even say that, I don't believe it, it's definitely not like that, if he was to join them then why are they sending their three armies again, that's not it, they blindly believe in something that doesn't exist, Carlos won't leave us and I'm sure of it. Kaos said.
- me too. Said Ninjini.
- Me too, Carlos, despite being our friend, come on, some of us made a mistake, I know he won't leave us. Said confident Bouncer.
- I know I made a mistake but I know, I feel it in my heart, that Carlos won't leave us. Flynn said, shaking Cali's hand to reassure her in her own faith.
- that's right, he won't leave us, so don't even say or think that. Bash said standing next to Flashwing.
- you have to believe it, I believe, Carlos will not leave us with the problem that has befallen our world. Spyro said confidently.
- I'm worried about something else. Malefor said suddenly, directing all his attention to the space of the known world.
- that means what. she asked Kaossandra.
Dad, tell us what's bothering you. She asked Cynder.
- maybe our enemies know what we know, maybe they believe what we believe, they have two options, either they will make a mess without realizing something that is hidden, or Carlos will reappear and they will go to the background. Malefor said, suspecting the worst but not what O.K. had planned.
- that is, what do you mean. Brain asked as he climbed into the chair pulled from the damaged Duo Copter.
- see for yourself, Carlos defeated three great armies, right. Malefor said turning his attention to everyone.
- exactly. Flashwing said thoughtfully.
- I was a witness of it myself, his extraordinary courage and madness. Cali said pressing harder on Flynn's hand.
- Well, what about what it might mean?. Cynder asked with full attention.
- and that the enemy wouldn't repeat his mistake knowing that Carlos would defeat them again, it doesn't make sense. Malefor said.
Suddenly there was silence among everyone, everyone thought the same, wondered until everyone looked at each other expecting the worst, expecting an unknown trap.
- does that mean it could be a trap!. Ninjini screamed.
- a trap for Carlos, but, so what can we do, how to stop it. Stealth Elf asked with trembling hands.
- it is not known if it can be predicted, it seems that only them and Carlos, in their hands will be everything, whether their trap will succeed, but as rightly stated, it is not known what their trap will be, we can only keep our eyes open. Hex said, clenching his fists tightly, dreaming of only one thing, to get the Hymerians and make them boots.
- that's right Hex, that's where you have to start, you have to do everything to protect other people in need, we have until tomorrow, you have to act and as soon as possible. Brain said.
- and I even have a great idea what and how to do it, I know you won't like it, but there is no other way. Spyro said.
- just not that, don't make us split up again. Kaossandra said taking a step back.
- does it always have to be like this, you know that such a separation usually ends badly, Carlos told me about it. She said Flashwing which of course quickly triggered the dragoness, mabu and jealous elf.
- Wait a minute, he told me about it. Cali said.
- not because of me. Cynder said.
- basically, he was the one who told us all about it. The Stealth Elf said sarcastically, looking at the three possible competitors from under her shining eyes.
- how funny, even now you can argue, you'll argue after everything, today and tomorrow we have our duties, so, Spyro, what's your plan, you want us to split into three teams I suppose. Said Ninjini putting her hands behind her back.
- Yes, and it's not just my idea, Flynn and Bash and Brain agreed when we landed outside the Academy. Spyro said and there was no one who would disagree with his idea today, there was no way out, three places he needed help quickly, in the worst case evacuation and there was no time and no chance to come up with another plan.
- first you need to summon the others and I will open the portals, three portals of course, before the power of interference closes them and there is not much time for that, may the enemy be free as I calculated, may we gather everyone ready to fight by tomorrow, help in evacuate i. said Brain as his own voice suddenly trembled.
- don't be afraid Brain, I know that Carlos will help us, I feel inside. Said Stealth Elf until suddenly she jumped slightly as Ninjini leaned over her and whispered something in her ears.
- you're not the only one who feels that. whispered Ninjini.
The stealth elf didn't reply, just stepped back and blushed.
After all, in less than three hours before dusk, many cadets gathered at the Academy, divided into three groups led by Spyro, Flynn and Bash, and Brain, the leader of everything, opened three great portals using machinery and power drawn from the Core of Light itself.
The three larger portals were opened and with them the road to the three currently endangered places, the expedition of the cadets began before nightfall and their success was more uncertain today, because anything was possible, but the hearts of many burned with the belief that their friend, Carlos Kozlowski, he would come to their aid again, even though the man hadn't been seen for days, even though Carlos hadn't given a sign of life since leaving the Academy after the four penitent conspirators had betrayed him, deceived him, stabbed him in the back, despite all the cadets, the stealth elf, the four conspirators, Brain, Spyro, Bash and Flynn believed in man and at the same time, like Malefor, they expected the unexpected, new problems they had not yet seen and had no contact with, because everything was possible, everything except one.
L
So many possibilities, so much depended on so few, there was a lot and the finale of all this is not certain because everything is possible, because the enemies would not repeat their mistake, but one thing is uncertain here, what Carlos Kozlowski will do, whether he will help or not forgive and will be a passive observer.
