One day, a rift appears out of nowhere and pulls him to a faraway world: Skylands!

Soon, he and his fated partners reunite, and he finds himself aiding the newly-reassembled Skylanders in solving this rift crisis and taking back the Book of Dark Magic that caused it alongside nine other portal masters from Earth, all in hopes of finding a way back home... ║ Fancast for a hypothetical animated adaptation of Skylanders Ring of Heroes & Skylanders 15th anniversary project.
