A soft breeze blows through a peaceful blue sky full of drifting white clouds. It drifts on and on until finally coalescing into a solid being. Not just any being, the figurative and literal head of the Skylander Academy: brilliant, wise blue eyes; a blue-gray, horned helmet on his head; a beard white as snow; and just a disembodied head.
The game introduces him as: "Eon, Light Portal Master".
"Greetings, Portal Master!" He says in Patrick Warburton's voice. "I am Eon, and I have come to guide you on a great journey. Welcome... to Skylands!"
He moves aside, revealing beautiful green islands amidst an endless sea of clouds. Colorful hot air balloons drift about, carrying Mabu about their day.
"A magical world of wonder and adventure," he continues as the perspective drifts through the islands, slowly accelerating until the Skylander Academy comes into view. "protected by the greatest heroes ever known: the Skylanders!" The 32 Skylanders in Spyro's Adventure smile and wave at the camera. It moves through the Academy's interior far too quickly for them to be properly introduced.
"Long has the Skylander Academy trained Skylands' greatest to combat evil," the camera is now at the front doors of the Academy. The clouds coalesce into Eon once more. "And now, a new group has risen to the challenge: the Shrink Squad!"
The doors open up to reveal an empty sea of clouds. A 6'8" skeletal sheriff materializes, cracking his whip. He's introduced as: "Whiplash, Sharpshooter".
A 4'6" nymph rushes past Whiplash on a fiery 6'1" wolf, whirling her ax as seeds pelt her. They're introduced as: "Red Riding Hood, Alpha Wolves".
The camera focuses on where the seeds are coming from, a cackling 4'3" scarecrow named "Harvest, Pumpkin Eater".
A portal appears behind Harvest. A web drags him, screaming, into it as the camera follows. Inside the violet, cobweb-infested Dream Realm, a 9'8" Spell Punk's hooded face looms in the background: "Spellslamzer, Ultimate Spell Punk".
Harvest, still screaming, flies out of the dimension and crashes into the real Academy's kitchen. A 7'2" pepper and ice shark look up from their cooking pot as pans bury him. They're respectively called "Pepperjack, Celebrity Chef" and "Frost Bite, Sharkbait".
A four-armed, 6'4" alien named "Supernova, Faster Than Light" digs him out. He pours part of Pepperjack and Frost Bite's soup into a mug, blitzes out of the kitchen. As he moves into the commons area, he almost crashes into a 7'9" head. The camera momentarily freezes on "Dreamcatcher, Dream Shatterer".
Supernova sidesteps Dreamcatcher, reaches the commons area. A 6'6" angel named "Solar Flare, Shrink Squad Deputy" swoops down, drinks the mug's contents, flies back up to finish repairing the chandelier.
Someone clears their throat behind the camera. It turns to face a 6' spider person named "Dream Weaver, Black Widow". Dream Weaver snaps her fingers, returns the camera to the Dream Realm.
It reemerges Mabulon's library. It pans around, taking note of more wandering Skylanders. Two humans, measuring 5'2" and 5'3", are playing Shrink Stones at a table. They're respectively introduced as: "Sheep Mage, Sheep Eccentric" and "Bad Karma, Wild Card".
A 6'1" Mabu named "Nightshade, Honorable Burglar" and a 6'5", jackal-headed wizard named "Gate Reaper, Death Pharaoh" are browsing through the aisles. Gate Reaper accidentally steps on an 8'8" shadow dragon's tail, conveniently hidden by the natural shadows of the aisle. The dragon's two heads jerk up, growl at the disturbance.
Elsewhere in the library, a 1'9" eel in a 5'8" mech named "Shock Wave, Aquatic Scavenger" is using a computer alongside an 8'9" snake-hawk named "Snake Attack, Gale Force". They don't look up from their work while Nightshade and Gate make a break for the door, pursued by the dragon in the background.
