The green islands of Lost Island and the newly grown city of Mabu, from the very morning, since the opening of the portal, there was a great commotion in the whole city, as soon as the great gates of the portals were opened, since the cadets from the Academy came to the mabu lands, real panic began, the wooden houses trembled entire families of Mabu fleeing, and the leader of the cadets Flynn and Cali kept observing the space, trying to see in the thick clouds the approach of the enemy, and the enemy was already very close, thick storm clouds billowed from the western part and it seemed that their density was only increasing, as if it's on purpose.
- I do not know what to think about it, but this weather phenomenon is not accidental, it does not look like a natural phenomenon to me. Flynn said, adjusting the red scarf around his neck and brown jacket, expecting the worst, but the calculation was that the enemy would attack at noon, anything was possible today.
- so what's your plan, let me guess, you've got a plan, Flynn, just don't let it be crazy and dangerous. Said Cali in a brown-yellow vest standing next to him, but everything she said was to be confirmed when Flynn looked back at the four low-rise houses now empty and the green Duo Copter standing there. Where the other cadets were just approaching with important information.
- I think I have, but first, hey Ninjini, Kaossandra! How's the evacuation going?. Flynn said.
- It's good, if this continues, we'll probably be able to evacuate the entire city. Said a heavy breathing blue giant Ninjini in navy blue armor.
- the situation seems to be under control, or so it seems, and honestly it's nice to do something good for others, really, it's so motivating. Said Kaossandra, but as the woman in black and red looked at the black cloud, she felt a strange shiver of fear.
- but this cloud, it's strange, I don't want to worry you but, you know, I don't want to scare you here. She tried to tell Kaossandra but she too was afraid of an unpredictable, sudden cyborg attack and all the worst.
- I won't wait there, but I need to know how to evacuate. Flynn asked.
- Sunburn, Wham-Shell, Pop Fizz and Sprocket are currently coordinating the evacuation process, we have managed to evacuate half of the community so far. Said Ninja.
- so if it's so good, then I'm going to do some crazy stuff, I'm sick of this uncertainty. Flynn said then jumped into the cockpit of the green Duo Copter.
- Flynn, wait, what are you doing again, you can't get enough of taking risks, you're crazy. Cali asked, trying to jump into the second seat with flair.
- maybe I'm crazy again, but it's the only way to stop the uncertainty and fear, I'm sick of it Cali and please stay here, I promise you I'll be back. Flynn said and ignited the engines, a strong gust pushed Cali back and the Copter took off and flew straight into the blackening cloud that was getting blacker by the minute.
Cali could only watch helplessly as her friend risked again, as he returned to the dense cloud and with the silence there was nothing to see or hear, again all was just waiting.
- crazy, why is he doing this. Cali asked.
- you don't know, he wants to fix his big mistake, maybe even, aaaaah!. Said Ninjini as she was poked in the genie's tail by Kaossandra.
- not all at once, better listen, look, something stinks here. Said Kaossandra lowering her hands in readiness to fight as something strange started to rumble first from the cloud and then from behind her back.
Suddenly someone started screaming, Cali looked behind her and first she saw the portal breaking down which suddenly disappeared and that meant only one thing, the enemies are close and their manifestation of power from another galaxy was breaking the portals and the presence of spirits like Eon and Strykore, but it wasn't there yet worst of all, a gray Gremlin Pop Fizz and a golden Sprocket running up with a yellow key in their hands.
- they seem to be coming, the portal has collapsed, Sunburn and Wham-Shell, trying to calm the crowd, try to find some other way but I doubt it. Pop Fizz said with quivering high ears but his fear was about to deepen.
- what's going on there!. Sprocket shouted, pulling the key towards the black fading cloud with the power of great explosions.
- Flynn!. Cali screamed looking at the explosions.
A series of explosions even blew a huge black cloud from the sky, suddenly everyone saw a terrifying sight, three transports were crossing the sky and the red Dark Stunner cyborgs standing on the deck were firing their heavy guns, each of them, sixty of them, was firing after the Duo Copter escaping from them controlled by Flynn.
Flynn did what he could, he brought the Duo Copter into a spin by turning fast spinners but all he did was nothing, a hundred bullets hit his target, breaking two propellers and destroying the lower part of the fuselage, in front of everyone Duo Copter made a few spins and landed with a bang after on the expensive side behind four houses, and they themselves suddenly exploded with heavy gunfire, three red, black and yellow transports landed between Cali and the downed Copter, the rocket engines were turned off, the side door opened and armies of red and silver cybernetic soldiers began to come out from the deck and warehouses, the first to come out was Grim Bot now wielding two pistols in both hands and it was they ignoring some cadets who started a massive attack on Mabu city, the pistols went off and their incendiary force blew up the wooden, stone walls, roofs and ignited entire buildings, suddenly in front of everyone half of the city began to burn and the Grom Bot moved on, as it turned out, targeting families with children gathered on the other side, Mabu refugees who failed to escape through the violently closed portal.
While the Grim Bots were busy attacking the unarmed, the Dark Stunner turned their strength to the cadets, their great axe-bladed rifles aiming straight at Pop Fizz, Sprocket and Ninjini, Kaossandra and Cali, and Sunburn's yellow-red griffon dragon and brown mace crab approaching. in the hands of Wham-Shell, but as it turned out, their attack was also as ineffective as everything the world of Skylanders had to offer, even though Sunburn was throwing fire, half fireballs slightly melting silver armor and Wham-Shell was hitting with all his might with his great club, their however, their efforts did not do the slightest damage, they were not even able to stop the striding Grim Bots that had just passed through them, trampling them like garbage.
But the worst was yet to come when as many as fifteen blue Dreadnoughts emerged from the decks of three transporters, they dealt probably the biggest and currently loud blow, when the Dark Stunner fired one volley hitting the Ninjini trying to fight and Kaossandra throwing dark balls, knocking them down in semi-consciousness, then The Dreadnoughts fired their hand-held rocket launchers and blew up everyone else.
The rocket launchers fired, the unstoppable rockets pierced the sky and hit the escaping cadets with a bang, and the inches, inches turned a few turns above the ground and hit with a bang and once green earth, now black earth scorched by the power of flames and the power of rocket launchers.
- no, what's going on, why did they come so fast, did we not have time from the beginning. Sprocket asked, trying to get up holding the broken key in her hands.
- they probably planned it from the beginning, they surprised us again. She said Ninjini holding broken swords in her hands.
- we have to do something, we can't let them hurt innocent families, hey you silver rams I'm here!. Kaossandra shouted, throwing three black missiles at the marching Grim Bot army, but none of them ever paid attention, not them.
When the Grim Bot, their task was one, to destroy mabu the remaining cyborgs, Dark Stunner, their task was already simpler, and they aimed their red rifles again, one of them fired, smashing the black bullets and knocking the semi-conscious Kaossandra to the ground with a bang.
- you boors, you will pay me for this!. shouted Pop Fizz changing into a scarier form, but as soon as Pop Fizz charged and he was knocked down by a strong volley fired by two Dark Stunners, their next blow looked like the red cyborgs were playing with them more, provoking, waiting.
Finally, the rising Cali got another shock of her life as the five blue Dreadnoughts now aimed their huge cannons at the toppled Copter and Flynn trying to get out of the cockpit.
- Please, why did you leave us?. Cali screamed, and the bang of the shot knocked her out.
The five shells exploded and everyone, even the Silver Grim Bots, stopped and stared at the image of destruction and the falling black cloud, and Cali fell to her knees expecting only the worst, but suddenly, as if strengthened with new strength, she got to her feet, heard the melodies first, what meant impossible, it was the song "UFO's "Doctor Doctor" taken from the "Phenomenon" album" Cali and everyone, because again they saw the man wielding the Predator Bow from Crysis 3.
- Carlos, it's him, look! Ninjini screamed as she watched as Carlos nocked arrows to his bow again and fired.
The Dreadnoughts immediately fired their rocket launchers but everything was blown up by the fast-moving electrification arrows, just one arrow hitting the rocket and a powerful discharge blew everything up right in front of the Dreadnoughts themselves, the blue cyborgs took a step back and the others including the Grim Bot and the Dark Stunner turned around to the approaching man and Flynn who finally came out of the cockpit staring with wide eyes at the beginning of the battle.
Everything trembled again, the Grim Bot fired their pistols and Carlos, walking calmly forward with reinforced hardened armor, calmly and quickly sent explosive shots, arrow after arrow rushed hitting the target in the middle of the silver ranks, leading to strong and loud explosions, the metal cracked again, again the Grim Bot were falling apart and the force of the explosion knocked down dozens of cyborgs.
The explosions continued to rumble from two sides, the first being the Grim Bot battling, the next ranks splintering, the fire arrows doing a bunch of damage, Carlos shot his bow faster than the enemies shooting at him, and the second series of explosions shook the ground where Carlos walked because practically every shot and the Grim Bot fired, they bounced off the man's armor and scattered across the once green earth.
Carlos continuing to fire suddenly began to dash across the scorched earth aiming his shot further at the greatest and currently most melting force that was the silver cyborgs, now the Grim Bot hovered to chase the fleeing target, trying to aim at the attacker as fast as possible but Carlos was too ham for the monk, his speed jumps, and the slides were almost too fast, and he ran through the destroyed city, firing his bow further, the enemies suddenly began bombarding one place in the city.
Grim Bot, Dark Stunner and Dreadnought all fired their cannons, hundreds of shells hit the outskirts of Lost Island towns with thunderous force, everything started thundering again until between the Grim Bot Carlos stepping out of the shadow of the cloaking power suddenly hit his fist with all his might, yes so hard that the silver Grim Bots would break after one hit, Carlos now standing between the enemy began to spin at great speed continuing to fire this time with only penetrating arrows, the razor-sharp kinetic steel easily shattered the pectoral hardened armor and their kinetic force tore a huge hole in the cyborgs' backs, metal, processors and oil all spilled over the ground and the power of the arrows pierced all the way to the ten Grim Bots.
- the way he fights still impresses me, it's incomparable to anything else. Said still fascinated Ninjini.
- an understatement, it's downright shocking as his arrows, and how he can disguise himself, ha. said Sprocket, opening her eyes wide and looking with delight at the picture of destruction being done by their defender.
- but the most important thing is that despite what we've done, he's still here and helps us in the worst moment. Pop Fizz said.
- Well, you have to praise him again. Said Wham-Shell finally getting out of the ground after being stomped on multiple times.
- Hey Wham, I think you have a shoe imprint on your face. Sunburn said, brushing his wings off the blackened earth.
- You too. Wham-Shell said as he wiped his shell off Grim Bot's dirty boots.
- hush, look, Carlos, watch out for the right!. Cali screamed as she watched as again, this time fifteen Dreadnoughts fired hand-held rocket launchers aiming only at the man.
This time Carlos didn't fire, he stood and suddenly disappeared in the masking power, suddenly the ground began to tremble, a series of explosions shook everything, but none more than what followed, suddenly out of nowhere, from many points, one after another, electro-shots began to shoot and their power hit the hand-held rocket launchers right and left, and the shock and discharge blew off the cannon-headed blue cyborgs one by one, the fifteen Dreadnoughts spun in a circle and crashed to their backs, damaged but not yet destroyed, but it still gave another chance for man to bring order.
Suddenly, the Dark Stunner formed a great circle ending with the three transports, defending the Dreadnought in the middle and firing in every possible direction, the red rifles firing and their heavy incendiary bullets rushing in every direction to hit even an invisible enemy.
- heads down!. Screamed Pop Fizz throwing himself and everyone into a small hole, finally falling on Sprocket and then suddenly with a big blush falling on the road side.
- I mean, it's a coincidence.
- come on, I know it was an accident my fluffy gremlin. Said Sprocket keeping her head down and Pop Fizz in a tight hug against her face.
- I don't want to interrupt you, but I'm not going to hide, I need to see what's going on there, you're about to hear it. Kaossandra said slowly looking out of the crater with Cali and Ninjini.
- what the hell is going on there. Said Ninjini.
- what's going on there, hey, tell us. Sunburst said.
- something big, ha, these hammers couldn't even predict that, you see. Cali said, pointing to the fighting man as everyone peering out from behind the crater would see Carlos emerge from the veil and stand right above the fighting Grim Bots standing on the central transport.
Carlos drew explosive arrows, hit the transports first and their sticky goo stuck to them, Carlos fired again but this time targeting only red cyborgs hitting their backs and blowing up three ranks, a powerful explosion shook the red army, Dark Stunner turned their rifles in the other direction trying to hit the man but it was no longer possible, Carlos jumped high, carried higher and higher by the force of the explosion, three large transporters suddenly exploded with the power of sticky arrows, and a strong shock wave first knocked the Dark Stunner off his feet and pushed the man high above the entire city.
Carlos wandering through the air, carried by the force of the detonation, started firing again at the completely surprised red cyborgs, Dark Stunner started shooting again but their shot was completely incoherent, they fired blindly, falling, lying, and getting up, their rifles crashing down hitting their own soldiers, some Dark Stunners were shattered by their own shot, heavy incendiary rounds easily blasting red tempered armor now broken by combat, shockwaves and shards of steel rushing at dizzying speeds.
Carlos finally hit the ground and his laydown sent hundreds of broken shards flying upwards, Carlos again strung a barrage of steel arrows, the steel arrows hit the cracked red armor breaking it and everything around it, the kinetic force of the arrows was so great they easily knocked down even up to five standing Dark Stunners, their oil mixed with the others' oil and hydraulic fluid mingling across the once-green earth.
Carlos started running again at breakneck speed firing electric arrows, quickly turning around, Carlos stopped on his right knee and slid over a series of speeding projectiles, Carlos fired electric arrows one after another and their main target was the spilled radiator fluid and oil, suddenly strong the discharges reached the remaining Dark Stunners that were left on the battlefield, a series of electric arcs of ten arrows stopped the red cyborgs, then everything suddenly started to explode, and only one arrow was enough to blow up the first red cyborgs, suddenly a series of explosions began to shake the island again, Mabu running in shock and watched with a hint of hope as the once-great army of cyborgs was now reduced to now fifteen rising blue cyborgs.
- man it was amazing, you saw it!. Sunburn screamed with delight, flapping his wings under the pressure of his own emotions.
- it's impressive, as always. Wham-Shell said, in a good mood like everyone else, but for a while, because suddenly everyone was shaken again by a series of explosions and Dreadnoughts shooting at everything.
- not again, Flynn!. Cali shouted having for nothing the four missiles coming in her direction, worrying only about her friend who was running to the other Mabu wanting to help them, to do anything and now he and the escaped Mabu found themselves in a collision course with eleven missiles and the Dreadnought was preparing for another attack.
Everything was blown up again, Cali, Sunburn, Wham-Shell, Pop Fizz, Sprocket, Ninjini and Kaossandra stared wide-eyed at the thickening cloud first looking at themselves and then at the image that appeared after the fall of the black cloud.
- man, he did it again. Said Kaossandra looking at herself for bullet holes.
better look over there, he's done it again, he's saved us all again! Ninjini shouted, pointing to the city, Mabu and Flynn where a black cloud descended and no one suffered a scratch.
- you better look over there, Carlos. Said Sprocket, jaw dropped as the man stood in front of a row of fifteen Dreadnoughts and their cannons aimed at him.
- what is he doing, is he crazy, why is he standing like that. Cali asked terrified.
- he's probably waiting for their first move. Said Sunburn trembling with his red wings.
- but why, did he go crazy. Wham-Shell asked.
- the fact that he's crazy is rather known for a long time, Carlos is not entirely normal, and that makes him something special, but what is he up to?. Pop Fizz asked.
he challenges them. Said Ninjini, looking confidently at the man and the Dreadnought standing in front of him.
- that how, but why. Sprocket asked.
- but why, what he wants to prove. Kaossandra asked as her horned helmet trembled as did she.
- challenges them to protect us, he draws their attention to himself. That's why he does what he does, look. She said Cali as she watched the Dreadnought start firing their cannons one by one.
It was a moment, a second, Carlos drew arrow after arrow, heavy steel arrows with an explosive tip and fired, his hands racing like lightning at the same speed as the rushing arrows, Carlos not having to draw an arrow any more than not having to reload the magazines he fired with dizzying speed, and his shots like sniper bullets fell into roaring cannons, and one by one, from right to left, Dreadnought began to explode, huge cannons, whole bodies, Dreadnought bursting from the inside with the power of their own bullets, reinforced with the power of arrows, huge and powerful clouds of fire, speeding steel, everything spread in space and in front of the destroyed city, shards were falling in front of the city and the mabu trying to get up, the series of explosions was so strong that there was no one who could watch and listen, Cali, Kaossandra, cadets, everyone for a moment they covered their ears and took shelter behind craters and ruined buildings, and when silence fell, they all looked at the center of the broken ground where he stood.
- Cali!. Flynn shouted running out from behind the destroyed building.
Confused by the bang, the destruction, Cali only came out of the crater and was suddenly hugged by her friend, finally regaining control over herself and orienting herself in the current situation, she looked confidently and menacingly at the suddenly frightened Mabu.
- Flynn, how could you, why did you risk so much again, I asked you not to, do you really want to end up like a whole army of cyborgs, come on tell me. Cali asked, grabbing Flynn by the brown jacket.
- I know, I wanted to do a lot, repair my faults, and show off my courage, but I will never be like him, strong, brave, I will never grow up to his heels and I will not stand in your common way. Flynn said and his words made everyone look at him, except for the man himself and his attention focused solely on the destroyed army and slightly trembling right and left hands.
- Flynn, are you crazy, you really thought, but why. Cali asked.
- I guess it finally explained why our Flynn envied Carlos so much, which means that both Bash and Spyro, oh my gosh, I wouldn't have expected that. Said Sprocket shaking her head and red words.
- gosh Flynn, where did such an idea come from in your head, moron. Ninjini said, looking from Flynn to the man and his trembling hands with concern.
- and how was I supposed to treat your words about courage and how cute Carlos is, you looked at him that way. Flynn said, but before he could say anything else, he was suddenly tugged on a red scarf and kissed by Cali.
- silly, why did you think that, I, you know, I always felt more for you and now I know what it is, I love you Flynn and only you. Cali said.
- how stupid I was. Flynn said as he hugged his beloved.
- very stupid, why only now did you see, you waited so long, like children in the mist, innocent, always seeing the truth in the fire of danger, would it really take Carlos to show you the truth and open your hearts, how stupid. Wham-Shell said shaking his head and his last gaze lingered on the human.
- Carlos, wait, thank you. Cali said but Carlos said nothing as he adjusted his visor helmet, opening a small portal leading to one of the two infested areas.
- Carlos, wait, will you ever forgive us, me?. Flynn asked. But there was no answer, Carlos didn't look back and entered the portal.
- thank you for everything. Kaossandra screamed and it made Carlos pause for a moment in the portals between the two places.
- I believe in you, and thank you, I hope that someday you will forgive us. Said Ninjini.
- our mistakes, our friends. Pop Fizz said.
- Carlos, please be careful, you can't get tired again, Malefor said it could be a trap. Wham-Shell said.
- you have to be careful, we don't want to lose you, whether you help or not, be careful. Sunburn said.
- you don't have to do so much for us, if you don't feel up to it, we'll understand. Said Ninjini but as before, Carlos didn't prompt and suddenly walked through the portal and his silence was all too understandable today, a silence only broken once.
- so what now. Sprocket asked.
- Now I'm sure our friend will help us, if someone didn't believe it, he should apologize to him. Cali said holding her beloved's right hand.
- after what he did for us, my faith is unchanged but I'm afraid that he was so focused, silent today, today I know for sure that he will do anything, even sacrifice his own life to save us, how stupid I was, how stupid, I see it all too well now, but I promise I'll make up for my mistakes. Flynn said, also squeezing Cali's left hand tightly.
- you've already done it, you've done too much, first with Spyro, Bash and Brain you were spying on the enemy and now this and Carlos forgave you for it otherwise he certainly wouldn't have saved you today unless he did it for Cali but I believe that he did it for all of you, for us, for you. Said Ninjini.
- that's known, but the question is what are we doing now, you don't know how we will open the portal, Mabu. Pop Fizz said.
- it's probably not needed anymore, look over there. said Wham-Shell, pointing to the re-opening portal through which Brain, riding on a brown chair, passed.
- what happened here, he was here!?. shouted Brain.
- It looks like we couldn't defeat the entire army on our own. Sprocket said.
- so all is not lost, but where is he. Brain asked, looking from the cadets to Mabu standing behind him.
he went on, surely to Faylar Jungle, or Winter Keep. Said Ninjini and Brain first smiled, then finally became furious and sad at himself again.
- I was a fool, such a big fool, I should never have done what I did, why did I want to banish him, oh why, I'm a moron. Brain said, slapping his tentacles on his big undulating head.
- but you're right, all is not lost, since he helped here, it will be the same in other places, behind me. Said Brain leading the cadets to the open portal and new hope shone in everyone's hearts.
L
Despite what happened, Carlos is not a passive observer, but whether he does it for himself or for others because he has forgiven it is difficult to say, but his actions finally opened the eyes of beings in the mist, finally the truth was revealed and the illusion of lies disproved, Flynn and Cali , both found themselves even though they could have done it for a long time.
