Ep 6. Space Invaders

In the sixth episode of Skylanders Academy season 1, entitled "Space Invaders," the Skylanders are called into action when an alien race invades Skylanders Academy. The episode begins with Spyro and Eruptor playing a video game when they get a message from Master Eon about the invasion. They quickly assemble a team and head to the academy, where they find that the aliens are using a portal to come in and out of the school.

As the Skylanders attempt to confront the aliens, they realize that the aliens are not interested in causing harm to them, but rather need their help to save their planet. The aliens explain that a dark force has taken hold of their world, causing a perpetual nighttime that is killing their crops and starving their people. The Skylanders agree to help, and they travel through the portal to the alien planet.

Once on the alien planet, the Skylanders are met by a hostile robot that attacks them. The robot is quickly defeated by Stealth Elf, but it is revealed that the robot was a friend of the aliens that had been taken over by the dark force. The Skylanders are then led to the center of the planet, where they discover a massive crystal that is the source of the darkness. Before they can destroy it, they are ambushed by the aliens' enemy, a menacing figure known as the Dark Master.

The Skylanders engage in battle with the Dark Master, but he proves to be too powerful for them. Just when it seems like all is lost, one of the alien children steps forward and reveals that he is the key to defeating the Dark Master. With the Skylanders' help, he is able to destroy the crystal and defeat the Dark Master, restoring light to the alien planet.

Back at Skylanders Academy, the aliens bid farewell to the Skylanders and thank them for their help. The team reflects on their adventure, and Spyro points out that it was the video game that helped them to defeat the Dark Master. The episode ends with Spyro and Eruptor playing the game once again, satisfied that their gaming skills saved the day.

Overall, "Space Invaders" is a fun and action-packed episode that highlights the Skylanders' bravery and willingness to help others. The introduction of the alien race and the Dark Master expands the show's universe and sets up potential storylines for future episodes. The episode also leans into the humorous aspects of the show, with Spyro and Eruptor's video game obsession providing a running gag throughout the episode.
