I slowed my breathing as the door slid opened and drew my weapon. The door slid to the side and I walked through.

The room was huge. It had various glass containers with bodies floating inside. I walked to the back of the room and found m crystal floating in one of the containers. The only problem with getting it out was that if I opened the container, then I would set the other subjects free.

Oh well.

I walked over the the control panel on the wall and pulled the lever. A loud alarm went off as the containers opened.

I rushed over to my crystal and crushed it.

"You will now obtain your first controlled Phase Shift: Flip."

The corpses got up and charged at me. I felt an energy flowing through me and initiated flip.

The lab spun at an alarming rate with me ending up facing the back wall instead of the entrance. I saw the corpses charging me out of the corner of my eye and ran in the opposite direction. After a little while of running I felt the power welling up inside me again.

I initiated flip and the lab spun around again, leaving me at the other side of the lab. The test subjects started looking around for me and I knew time was against me at this point. I snuck out the door and locked it.

After locking the door I proceeded to work my way out of the facility.

Finally! I was finally getting to leave this place!

I can't wait to breath the open air!

I walked through the halls, climbing stairs and ladders, hoping to find my way out. There were some test subjects prowling the halls still, but they were no match for me and my little friend. l kept walking, and walking, and walking. The walking was becoming monotonous. The never-ending metal walls and hordes of mutated test subjects strained my sanity to its limits. I needed to leave immediately before I went insane!

While I was walking I began to feel this empty feeling in my gut. It felt like my insides were empty and eating themselves! I tried to figure out what was wrong with me, when it hit me. This feeling was described as something called 'hunger'. And if I remember correctly, then I need to eat something to ensure I do not collapse and die of this 'hunger'.

There was a room up ahead so I walked over and opened the door.

Inside were various foods that were rotting and moldy. There was a tall metal box on the other side of the room so I decided to check it out. When I opened it I was disappointed to find only rotting foods.

I sighed and kept on walking.

I was beginning to lose hope when I felt air movement. I rushed to it and found a door. It was huge, but the sensor was broken. I decided now would be a good time to experiment with my element.

I stood there trying out all sorts of attacks, like a scythe leg sweep and a spear punch. I eventually found an ability which turns my arm into a long piece of metal with moving blades on it. I used this to break down the door, but had to cover my eyes slightly so I could see.

It was beautiful outside! There were colorful flowers and tall trees, bright blue skies and a wonderfully shining sun! It was wonderful!

I was still hungry though.

I walked through the woods searching for a meal. Anything would do!

After walking for a few hours, and falling down a small cliff-like area leading to a broken arm, I came across a family of deer.

With one swift movement I was standing on top of one deer with my left arm through its skull. I took the others as well and sat down to begin a fire.

After I had a fire started, the bodies spitted over the fire, and my broken arm set I sat back for a well-deserved rest, and after a few minutes I felt my eyes growing heavy, until my sight faded to pure blissful darkness, allowing the shadows to take my senses away, only to replace them with wonderful calming loss of feeling.

(Third Person POV)

One mile away a young dragon with purple scales is leading a group of dragons that were almost every color. A black dragoness with a scythe-like tail blade is flying next to him.

They are flying in the direction of the biological testing facility, completely oblivious to the dangers lurking in its rusty halls.

The black dragon noticed something on the ground beneath them and flew up to the purple.

"Spyro, we should land! I think I found something important!"

The purple dragon known as Spyro nodded and led their group to the designated area.

They landed and scouted the area, checking everywhere in the general vicinity for any signs of sentient life.

The black dragon and Spyro walked through the brush into Subject 001's camp and saw him propped up against a tree fast asleep. His food was done cooking so Spyro doused the fire.

Cynder walked over to 001 to look for injuries and was amazed at the amount of scars scattered throughout his body. She gently slapped his face to wake him up but screamed slightly when he grabbed her by the throat.

"Who are you?"

He turned to Spyro.

"And what are you doing in my camp?"

His left arm was a blade and the blade was pressed up against the black dragon's neck. His other hand held her right below her lower jaw, exposing the tender scales. Spyro flinched at the sight of his arm and what he would do with it if he didn't answer.

"My name is Spyro, and the dragoness you are holding is my close friend Cynder. We were sent to this area after we defeated the Dark Master. There is said to be an old building that actually has information on how to create a dragon, and a very powerful one at that. We could use this dragon to maintain peace in the realms, but only if you let us go."

001 pushed the blade closer to Cynder's neck.

"I don't believe you. I was supposed to kill him myself. He should not have been weak enough to be beaten by you. You're only, what, fourteen maybe fifteen. There is no possible way you could have defeated Malefor. He was shaped into the perfect killing machine years ago. He must have been really rusty to have been beaten by a couple of whelps like you."

Spyro growled angrily.

"I'm telling the truth! Please listen to me! The Dark Master has been defeated after he pulled the world apart. I managed to stop him then initiated a counter spell using the light side of convexity to repair the gravitational pull so the world could be held in place while the energy knitted the rock back together. I'm not lying. You should have seen, and even felt the blast of energy from the world's core. Please we don't want any trouble. Just let us go and I promise we won't go anywhere near you again."

001 sighed heavily and pushed the dragoness named Cynder towards Spyro.

"I will believe you. But do not, under any circumstances, enter that facility. It is full of enemies that still haunt my mind."

Spyro stood there with Cynder, both their mouths agape in astonishment. Spyro was the first to recover.

"You mean to tell me that you came from that place? You were really there?"

001 nodded his head.

"Then please tell us what was there! Oh ancestors the search is finally going to pay off! Tell me everything you know about the place. What was there? Written information on dragon creation? Rare crystals? Powerful weapons?"

Subject 001 stood up and let out a loud growl to silence him.

"There is nothing there but failed test subjects and broken machines. There isn't anything you want there."

Cynder spoke up when she heard about the test subjects.

"Those test subjects could be useful. Let's go grab a few of them."

They moved to get past 001 but he lifted his arm in blade form right in front of Spyro's face.

"Those things aren't what you need. They prowl the halls, lurking in the shadows and every little niche they can find, just waiting for their next meal of living flesh. Be it sentient or not."

Spyro gulped and stepped back.

"I have all important papers on me. Just take me to your city and I'll give you everything I know. Where do you live?"

Spyro sighed in defeat, but decided to have the stranger tag along so they could get the information they needed.

"Alright, we live in a huge city called Warfang. Follow us. There are other dragons on this exploration that are big enough for you to ride to the city."

001 nodded an affirmative and they started walking back to the group. When they arrived Spyro started talking to one of the bigger group members, and then returned with the huge male following him.

"This is Volcus. He will be your transport. Now let's move out people! We have what we came for!"

001 Jumped onto Volcus' back and they rose into the air.
