Academy; Training Hall; 8:00 AM

Skyler entered the room without scaring the new students and took his usual place.

"Class, today's lesson is..." began Spyro and motioned towards Skyler.

His green-orange scales and fur began to be replaced by metallic versions, his eyes became optical sensors, and his wings looked like they couldn't help him fly.

"...beat Mecha-Skyler." finished Spyro after the transformation.

"If any of you hit my neck vents, you fail. Why? Because they are needed for breathing. Don't ask how that works." said Mecha-Skyler.

"First up, Klaxon." said Spyro.

The blue-green dragon walked into the training circle and waited.

"Begin!"

Mecha-Skyler charged and swung his right paw and sent Klaxon flying. Klaxon who was caught off guard for a second recovered in no time. Klaxon charged Mecha-Skyler only to get a tail to the face sending him into a nearby wall. Climbing out Klaxon overheard a student.

"Just because Skyler's his father, doesn't mean he should go easy on him. I mean look, Klaxon is trying but Skyler isn't really doing much."

Klaxon's eyes went from blue to red at hearing this.

'Going easy on me?! Toying with me?! I'LL SHOW YOU!' thought Klaxon.

Suddenly Klaxon's scales began to shift to metal, his eyes became red optical sensors, and his wings look like they could no longer provide flight. Black steam came from his neck vents.

"Going easy on me, are you?! I'll show you going easy!" yelled Mecha-Klaxon as he fired a green fireball which Mecha-Skyler swatted to the side.

'This isn't good. Klaxon has never used this form before and on top of that, the steam is black which means...Slag!' thought Mecha-Skyler as he evaded his enraged son's attacks.

"Spyro! Need some help here!" said Skyler as he evaded the attacks while delivering some of his own.

Spyro closed his eyes and his purple scales became black and when he opened his eyes they glowed like laterns, the spikes on his shoulders, knees, elbows, and his back spikes became longer and more serrated, his claws also became serrated.

"Klaxon, stop!" yelled Dark Spyro as he got into a fighting stance.

"Why don't you make me!" snapped Mecha-Klaxon, suddenly he turns his attention to Destra, "You! Always rubbing it in my face that I can't teleport, well guess what?! You're gonna pay!"

Before Destra can react he gets hit in the face with a metal fist.

"Speed beats teleporting!" growled Mecha-Klaxon as he pummeled Destra with blinding speed. Suddenly a black blur hits Mecha-Klaxon in the side.

"Leave him alone!" growled Dark Combu.

"Look who decided to grow a backbone. What are you gonna do, blow me up?! You're pathetic!" said Mecha-Klaxon.

Dark Combu and Mecha-Klaxon then charged each other and both struggled for an advantage against the other.

"This is new." said Mecha-Skyler watching with some interest and fear.

"Yeah." said Dark Spyro watching with a cautious eye.

Mecha-Skyler then had enough of watching the fight.

"BREAK IT UP!" said Mecha-Skyler grabbing Mecha-Klaxon by the neck.

*SMASH! SMASH!*

Mecha-Skyler drops Mecha-Klaxon as he clutches his throat.

"Can't...*GASP!*...BREATHE! *GASP!GASP!*"

Mecha-Skyler falls onto his back while still clutching his throat, after one final gasp his arms go limp and his optical sensors fade till they're grey.

"D-dad?" says Klaxon snapping out of his rage and reverting to normal scales as Combu helps Destra up. Spyro runs over and puts his head onto Skyler's chest and hears...nothing, no whirring, no heart beating, nothing.

"This isn't good." says the purple dragon who then claps his paws together and rubs them till electricity is arcing from them then slams them on Mecha-Skyler's chest, "CLEAR!"

Nothing

*Does it again*

Nothing

*Again*

Nothing

*Again*

*GASP!*

Mecha-Skyler face reverts to the green scales as he shoots up while clutching his neck.

"THAT is the closest I've come to dying yet." said Skyler as the rest of his mechanized body returns to green-orange scales and fur with hints of black & white. He then turns his attention to Klaxon, "I need to teach you how to control that form before you DO kill somebody. As for you, TALON, your lesson is worse now."

Talon gulps at hearing this.

"How many of you have heard of 'Shadow Skyler'?"asked Skyler with a cocky grin on his face.

Every student raised their paw.

"Good, then I don't have to explain anything."

"W-what do you plan to do?" asked Talon backing away.

"Twenty years have gone by, I now have complete control over all my Dark forms. Including the form that damaged this city." said Skyler his left arm becoming enshrouded in black mist, "Your new lesson..."

Skyler becomes completely enshrouded in shadows. When the shadows go away, Shadow Skyler is in his place.

"...is to defeat me in this form." said Shadow Skyler with a smirk.

Thirty minutes later

Talon was curled into a ball with his eyes wide in fear as Skyler returned to normal and class was dismissed. Destra had to go to the Infirmary due to his injuries received from Mecha-Klaxon, Talon was rushed to FEAR dragon Infirmary due to him not being responsive after his "lesson". Klaxon left the school after the final bell and went to the one spot nobdy but him knew about.

Twenty minutes later; Hidden Location

Klaxon landed near the Hidden Pond and looked into it. The image of his father being lifeless burned into his mind, it made him feel disgusted with himself.

'Is my anger that powerful? So powerful I could kill my own father? I won't let it! I will never allow it to do that!" thought Klaxon as he looked on into the calming waters unaware of a figure watching him hidden in the bushes.
