Chapter 4- New Rivals

While Kiokee is eating her ice cream, she saw a tall robot dragon sitting by himself on the bench. The robot dragon has crimson skin with black scales with a black underbelly, has green eyes, two horns on the sides of his head and one on his nose. He have white claws, and have white wings with red veins and can stand on his hind legs. Though as a robot, he look sad and lonely. Kiokee sits right next to him.

"Hello, sir." She greeted.

"Huh?" The robot dragon is surprised for her to talk to him. Kiokee notice he's antisocial and decides to have a conversation with him.

"My name is Kiokee Foster, the Ice Princess of Frostflake Village. What's your name?"

"Mecha, the robot dragon..." Mecha sighed and his voice sounds like a 10-year-old "To be honest, I wasn't always like this."

"Huh, what do you mean?"

"I was a normal dragon, back at Magic Springs. I was always playful to many dragons and fairies. Until one day, I was kidnapped by the sinister foe ever known, Dr. Doom the Coyote. Ever since, he always try to attack my home but I always stop his diabolical plans but that time, he made give up fighting when he's about to blow Magic Springs. Then he turn me...into this." He makes a fist as he looked down. "He used me to used to destroy my home and the worst part, it worked. Eventually, I break out of his control but everyone I know treats me like a monster ever since." He gets up and about to leave.

"I'm sorry I waste your time with my past." When he's about to leave, he felt a hand placed on his shoulder. "Huh?"

"You didn't waste my time at all." Kiokee said "You just need a hug." She hugged him much to his surprise. Its been a while for Mecha to have a close friend who don't think he's a monster so it's a bit overwhelming to him.

"Thank you..." He said and his voice is breaking as if he's crying.

Meanwhile, Bentley and Bartholomew is walking around the Central Park saw an Android Ninja Assassin Droid who wears nothing but white cloths over his body and a claymore katana on his back, the Albino Python who has red eyes, two sharp teeth, a small horn on his nose and wears a crown on his head, and the Chameleon has light-green scales and has black eyes. He wears a black colored outfit resembling a ninja.

"Wow, those fighters are the coolest." Bartholomew said

"Yeah, and the strongest..." Bentley said discouraged

"Don't be stupid! You're the coolest and strongest I ever have!"

Bentley blinked when his little brother said that. Sure, he's annoying most of the time, but he also backup his big brother.

"Thank you, Bartholomew." He rubbed his little brother on his head causing him to chuckle.

Blink, Ember, Flame, and Bandit saw four fighters. One of them is the lava monster who's body is made of red hot rocks and his hands and feet is bright yellow, he have blue eyes and a horn on his head. The other one is the blue feathered eagle with white feathered head, yellow beak, arms, and legs, have green eyes, have large wings and wears a metal belt that holds his laser guns. The other one is a white Catfish that can breath air and walk on land, have orange eyes, three long whiskers, his arms and legs are gray, and wears a red hat backwards. The last one is the four-legged winter wolf who have complete white fur, he have a mane like a lion but it resembles spiky hair and his horn on his head is long and narrow.

"Gee, the competition is fierce..." Ember said

"Think you should give up?" Flame asked

"No, of course not!"

"Relax, we trained for this. So, no one is a threat to us" Bandit asked

"Really now?" That voice belongs to elephant. He is huge, almost the same size of an elder, and is really fat, but not to the point of being morbid. He has a long snout, light-grey skin and black hair tied in the top of his head. He has black eyes. He wears a purple colored Sumo outfit.

"Whoa, big guy." Blink said

"My name is Sai the Elephant, the strongest sumo wrestler known in Kanto Island. I opened my own sumo academy, and I entered the tournament in order to receive attention for my academy."

"Cool, we wish you luck then." Flame said.

"Likewise." Sai said as he left.

Elsewhere, Yuki is searching for Kiokee in the alleys.

"Kiokee, she needs to realize that not all in life is fun and games." Yuki mumbled "In reality, you have to have a sharp eye for everything that is wicked."

"So, you know what you have to do?" Yuki's ears perked up when he heard someone at the dead end. When he's eavsdropping, he saw five figures. One of them is the Piranha that can breathe air and walk on land. He is rather tall and skinny creature. He has long sharp claws that cut anything like butter. The second one is the doberman, he have red eyes, and wears his black sunglasses on his head and black pants. The third one is the gray Shark that can breathe air and walk on live. He has green eyes and wears green pants and have a very big blue longsword on his back. The fourth one is the brown Rat, he has yellow ears, wears small earrings that looks like pins on his left ear, his right ear is half torn half, and wears a silver cape and a black belt holding his deck of cards. The last one is the brown coyote, he's muzzle and his furred belly is cream, his eyes is brown, he wears an black eyepatch on his left eye covering his scar, he wears a scientist lab coat with blue gloves and black boots.

"Yes, Dr. Doom. We will 'take care' of your targets during the match." The Piranha said.

"Good, Razor Tooth, Scar, Nail, Gambit, do not fail me." Dr. Doom warned.

"Yes sir." They all said. Gambit uses one of his cards and teleports out of sight.

"What are they up?" Yuki asked himself "I better inform Kiokee immediately!" Yuki uses his agile to get out the alleys.

Unbeknownst to them, someone else is watching them as well. She is an gray Arachnid who has complete purple eyes, dark purple lips, wears black and purple lounge suit, black and purple heels, and have six spider limbs on her back. She uses spider silk from her wrists and hang herself upside down on the fire escape stairway.

"So, Dr. Doom made more mutants to do his bidding." The Arachnid said "Very well, then. If they want to fight me, they'll get it."

Shelia, Sgt. Byrd, and Agent 9 saw different fighters as they walk around the downtown. They saw the walking skeleton heading to the coliseum. He has a skull for a face, and has a dark purple body. They greeted the panther and the porcupine as well. The panther has black fur, blue eyes, he wears a white shorts with pockets for bombs while the porcupine is brown in coloration with black spikes and amber colored eyes. He wears an black short.

"My name is Harry the Panther and this guy is Spinner the Porcupine."

"Yo." Spinner greeted.

"Mine's Shelia, this is Sgt. Byrd and Agent 9." Shelia greeted herself and her friends "What are you two here for?"

"Smasher's here for testing his strength while I'm here to prove that I know how to fight with bombs."

"Why is that?" Sgt. Byrd asked.

"You see, most people called me a coward because I can fight with bombs. They thought using weapons as such is a cowardly way to fight so I'm here to prove them wrong!"

"And I was a coward child and don't like to fight, always a target to bullies, so I decided to become stronger. That's why I enter the games."

"Knock 'em dead!" Agent 9 said.

"You bet!" Harry said.

"See you at the Games." Spinner says his farewells.

Far from them, the ape is thinking out loud as he saw Ripto and his minions. "So, that big mouth dinosaur is here as well..." What he looks like is a burly large black ape with a purple face. Wears grey armor over his arms, leg area, and chest. Has green eyes. "I used to work with him until he banished me for accidently burning down his house. Since my experiment escaped, there is one dragon I will conquered who defeated Ripto more than once: Spyro. I know I'm stronger than that pipsqueak dragon and I will have my revenge against Ripto! Time to put my plan in motion..."

Meanwhile, Spyro and Sprax is chatting when they a voice from a small velociraptor. "Wow, it's you!" He is more skinner then Ripto and has a more reptilian jaw. He has green eyes and vertical slits for pupils. His scales are crimson colored and has black claws. He wears a grey short.

"You're Spyro the Dragon, right?" The Velociraptor asked

"Yep, the one and only." Spyro bragged.

"Cool! You're even cooler in person! My name is Jason the Velociraptor from Deep Valley. I'm your biggest fan and I heard your heroic deeds ever since you defeated many villains! With the help of your sidekick, Sprax the Dragonfly!"

"You heard of us?" Sprax asked.

"Yeah, you're the big talk at my home and now I entered the tournament aiming to gain experience to be a great hero, just like you!"

"Wow, good luck in the games."

"Thank you!" Jason run off to somewhere else

"I'm getting famous everyday."

"Don't get a swell head, Spyro."

"Oh, Shut it Sprax."

The two friends laughed as they walk some more.

"The Games is gonna to be fun once I fight bigger opponents." Cody said excitedly.

"You will indeed, Cody." Mike said

"We wish you good luck." Hunter saids his farewells as they left.

"Hmm..."

"What is it, Bianca?"

"I can't help but wonder but that guy looks familiar." The person she's looking at is a huge yellow and brown hippopotamus who have orange eyes and wears brown gloves, white scarf and a desert pot that holds lots of sand.

"Whoa, that's Behemoth! I heard this guy can punch someone to kingdom come."

"Wow, he's tough to take down. For you."

"What? He may be stronger with his sand attacks but I got the trick up my sleeve."

"Good luck."

"You bet!"

The butterfly flies around amazed by the landscape of the city and greeted residents of Dragon City and foreigns from other realms.

"Luna is very happy to be here, isn't she?" The Snowman asked to his gang.

"Yeah, Cryo. In fact, she's the reason why we're here." The Crane agreed.

"Yeah, dude. We can finally show our skills here." The Raccoon said in his surfer voice.

"I agreed. If she didn't convince us to come here, we'd miss the opportunity." The Pterodactyl said.

"Come on, Gust, Kit, Screechy, and Cyro! We'll miss the Games!" She flies to the coliseum.

"We're coming!" Gust said as they catch up to her.

Elsewhere, Spyro and Sprax saw a dragon all by herself near the lamppost. She looks sad. What she looks like is a sleek grey colored dragon with silver horns. Her horns stick straight up and she has blue eyes. The duo walk up to her.

"Hey, are you alright?" Spyro asked

"Uh, fine. Just fine..." She lied/

"My name is Spyro the Dragon and this is Sprax the Dragonfly. What's your name?"

"Shade the Dragon."

"Why you enter the Games?"

"I cannot said. Sorry..."

"That's alright. If it's too personal, you don't have to tell us." Everyone heard the loud noise from the megaphones installed on the coliseum.

Fellow Fighters and Spectators, please report to Dragon Coliseum immediately as it's about to begin.

"Time to go." Sprax said.

"Are you coming?" Spyro asked Shade.

"Yeah. I'll catch up."

"Alright."

When the duo left, Shade is drifting off with her thoughts while heading to the coliseum.

"So, Appa is after him... I enter the games to stop that evil ape from doing the same thing to me. He captured me and experimented me to become his slave. I will stop him."

A/N: Phew. Writing this chapter took a lot of me to write. I hope I did good on this chapter. Like I promise, the fights begins! Oh, I almost forgot. I set up the poll for this story so if you want, you can go to my profile and vote which set of characters are your favorite. This is for the fun of it, no contest.

EDIT: The reason I edit Snow the Wolf's fur is because he's too familiar to Tiger from Monster Rancher. To avoid copyrights issues, I have to edit him.
