Back at Skylands Academy's training island, Roller Brawl is running through a dangerous course with spinning blades and saws, destroying various obstacles. Once her turn is up, Stealth Elf prepares to enter it as Eruptor starts a timer, and the elven ninja runs through the course herself, using her blades and agility to dodge and stop the hazards. She arrives to the goal beating her personal record, and, relieved, tells Eruptor she is finally ready for the games, but also wondering about Spyro's whereabouts. Though Eruptor was told that he had "more important things" to do, they arrive on their house to discover a party is going on. Stealth Elf stops Food Fight to question him, and discovers that the cadets are throwing a graduation party even before the start of the games, complete with the veteran Skylander [[Ka-Boom (Skylanders Academy)|Ka-Boom]] as the bouncer. He stops them at the entrance despite it being their house, until Spyro arrives at the door to take them in. The two question the dragon's recklessness, but he responds that they need to have fun and distractions before their big day, and convinces them to join in. Though they, other cadets and other Skylanders party and have fun, Spyro ends up staying up much longer than the others, and by morning, a good deal of furniture and items from their house are scattered around the area and the roof. |

Skylanders Unite! is the pilot episode in the Skylanders Academy television series.
Synopsis
The cadets come together for graduation day, but Spyro will need to overcome his bad attitude and big ego to join his friends as a Skylander.
Story
The episode begins with the narrator introducing the viewers to the world of Skylands. A purple egg hatches into a baby dragon named Spyro, who wanders away from the nest and encounters three evil Greebles. The Greebles plan on eating Spyro, but the baby dragon defeats his enemies by breathing fire on the Greeble leader and knocking around another Greeble senseless. The third Greeble promptly admits defeat, with Spyro cheering for his own victory. A tall, old wizard known as Master Eon then approaches Spyro, having witnessed his efforts and coaxes him over with a half-eaten hot dog as a peace offering. Seeing how special Spyro is, the old wizard holds the baby dragon in his arms and carries him out of the forest.
Many years later, in Skylanders Academy, the headmaster assistant Hugo arrives from a teleport pad, racing through many Skylanders and cadets in an attempt to enter the school with a package. However, he is startled by a sheep that lands near him, which threatens him with fangs and red eyes until it is retrieved by Spyro, who was throwing it around. Though Spyro assures the sheep is harmless, it keeps making threatening gestures at Hugo, driving him to escape through a nearby corridor. Spyro, meanwhile, sights the dragon Flashwing, the sapient toy Wind-Up and the gremlin Trigger Happy below him, and lands to welcome the first-year cadets - however, quickly changing the conversation to be about himself.
At Wind-Up's request for a group selfie, Spyro zips through him quickly taking a picture of himself alone, disappointing the robot. In the gardens nearby, Spyro's friends, the lava monster Eruptor and the ninja Stealth Elf, call him out on his self-praise; but he refuses to listen and takes a picture of his backside to Flashwing, which, to Eruptor's surprise, made her happy. Disappointed at Spyro, Stealth Elf teleports around him to throw a sheep repeatedly against his face to call his attention, until Eruptor could call him to finish their game of sheep ball. Spyro is unfazed by the punishment and teases Eruptor, making him erupt from his head volcano in response, but before Stealth Elf could calm them down, the class bell rings. Other cadets and Skylanders quickly run or fly to their rooms, and though the purple dragon keeps trying to tease his friends about losing the game of sheep ball to go to class, he is ignored, prompting him to assume he won and declare his victory by drawing his name with clouds.
In the main classroom, the warrior Chill, the sorceress Hex, the vampire Roller Brawl, the Grumblebum known as Bad Breath and the artichoke Food Fight are waiting for the class to start, under the watchful eye of Professor Jet-Vac. He is quickly scouring the class for any students arriving late for their final class, and when Stealth Elf reappeared from her teleportation, he calls her out on her tardiness. However, when Eruptor bursts through a nearby wall to reach the class, thinking that he wasn't noticed, Jet-Vac simply respondes with bewilderment and changes the subject to Spyro being late. On cue, however, Spyro lands on his seat, pleased with himself; this angers the Sky Baron to rant about his lack of dedication, but this only serves to feed Spyro's ego more. Seeing this as an opportunity to punish the class for his actions, Jet-Vac fires a quiz in various paper balls from his blaster, angering the other students as well. Though Spyro insists it isn't his fault, Eruptor points out that his victory cloud drawing is visible from the classroom, and Spyro diverts the subject before turning his attention to the test.
Sometime later, at the Library, Hugo finally arrives and delivers his package to Master Eon, before sarcastically annoucing that he followed his orders to request Spyro's presence. Master Eon calls him out on his harshness as the Mabu leaves, before eagerly opening the package to reveal a beard spray; the wizard uses it on his frizzy beard to straighten it while singing the brand's jingle, before being interrupted by Spyro's arrival. Eon then questions him on his poor performance in an earlier quiz about Air Studies, but Spyro is convinced that, as the score is passable, it was enough. Noticing that Spyro was slacking off on his duties, Eon takes him to the second floor, where he reveals and opens the entrance to the Relics Room: a vault containing Skylands' greatest relics, from other Skylander teams' items to the Book of Skylanders. While he hungrily retrives a candy cane left in the vault, Spyro makes his way towards the book and asks for permission to touch it, only to be surprised and eletrocuted by the security system. Laughing at the dragon's naivete, Eon explains him that the book contains the portraits of every Skylander, and that he has longed for Spyro's time to be part of the group. Reminiscing about the purple dragon's childhood, Eon discusses how Spyro's talents may have inflated his ego to the point he no longer cares about others involved or putting effort into his actions, but unfortunately the dragon doesn't understand the point of the conversation. The wizard requests for him to perform well at the Skylander Games the next day and put his fears to rest, and to the dragon's dismay, starts to talk the villains that the Skylanders have to face with increasing frequency.
Elsewhere, in a guest castle next to a terrifying fortress, the troll butler Glumshanks arrives with a scalding hot beverage and greets his sorcerous master, Kaos. Quickly, Kaos congratulates it, only to throw the beverage on the troll's face with a yell. Glumshanks grudingly compliments his master, who explains to him that he had just finished burying a prisoner to get him to talk, however, Kaos appears unaware of the actual objective. Quickly changing the subject, he announces to his butler his (newest) plan to destroy the Skylanders, involving his discovery about the Book of Skylanders, whose magical bindings to the heroes allow anyone that posesses the book to physically control them. Though Kaos insists that this newest attempt, out of 314, would prevail, Glumshanks questions him as the book is hidden inside Skylanders Academy; but the sorcerer retorts that it is removed from it during the graduation day at the Skylander Games, the perfect time to strike. Happy with his well structured plan, Kaos implies that he'll celebrate by torturing Glumshanks, who pleads for them to eat cake instead; and unknown to them, the prisoner stuck underground gives up and calls for Kaos as he's ready to talk.
Back at Skylands Academy's training island, Roller Brawl is running through a dangerous course with spinning blades and saws, destroying various obstacles. Once her turn is up, Stealth Elf prepares to enter it as Eruptor starts a timer, and the elven ninja runs through the course herself, using her blades and agility to dodge and stop the hazards. She arrives to the goal beating her personal record, and, relieved, tells Eruptor she is finally ready for the games, but also wondering about Spyro's whereabouts. Though Eruptor was told that he had "more important things" to do, they arrive on their house to discover a party is going on. Stealth Elf stops Food Fight to question him, and discovers that the cadets are throwing a graduation party even before the start of the games, complete with the veteran Skylander Ka-Boom as the bouncer. He stops them at the entrance despite it being their house, until Spyro arrives at the door to take them in. The two question the dragon's recklessness, but he responds that they need to have fun and distractions before their big day, and convinces them to join in. Though they, other cadets and other Skylanders party and have fun, Spyro ends up staying up much longer than the others, and by morning, a good deal of furniture and items from their house are scattered around the area and the roof.
By then, Eruptor and Stealth Elf look through the rooms in the house after the dragon, but he is nowhere to be seen. At a loss, they assume he went to the Skylander Games early and leave to the arena, but unknown to them, Spyro is at the roof of the house, sleeping soundly even after slipping off of it and falling on the garden.
