Twilight Forest

Tyrannis hid the crystals he had in a location only he knew and was currently wondering through Twilight Forest when he heard something form behind him and he turned around to see the group come out of a black sphere. Lesh was there too, his neck bandaged.

"So you've come to stop me. Good luck." said Tyrannis as he turned his back to them. Suddenly vines shoot out of the ground and grabbed him, restraining his arms, legs and gagging him.

"We're not gonna fight you, Tyran." said Emerald her paws aglow with green energy.

"You have no choice." said Tyrannis despite the gag and then the vines were incinerated in black fire causing them to drop him. He got up and went bipedal and got into a defensive stance while unsheathing his claws' serrated edges.

"Watch out for his claws!" said Lesh.

Blaze tried to Comet Dash Tyrannis but found one of his horns grabbed and then he was slammed onto his back, the wind knocked out him before a foot slammed into his rib cage causing him to cough up blood. Tyrannis dodges Fireballs from Laya and fires a Posion bomb at her which she avoids but then he does a cheap shot, throws dirt in her eyes causing her to stagger back rubbing her eyes. She was sent flying into a tree after Tyrannis delivered a back-hand. Emerald tries to tackle him but somehow misses, gets put into a headlock and finds a claw to her throat.

"Anybody come after me and her life is forfeit!" said Tyrannis holding the serrated edge of his claw to her throat.

At first nobody believes he's willing to do it but a look into his eyes showed he was. Blank then smirked when he remembered something.

"Okay everybody, let's leave coward boy here alone so he can leave let his girlfriend go." said Blank turning around and hoping he would get the desired effect.

"SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND AND I AM NOT A COWARD!" yelled Tyrannis forgeting his hostage and charging Blank.

'BINGO!' thought Blank as he looked over his shoulder before disappearing in a black sphere and reappearing behind Tyrannis to deliver a tail slap but then gets tackled by the enraged dragon.

"YOU'RE GONNA PAY YOU SMART MOUTHING WISE-CRACK!" yelled Tyrannis raising a paw, the claws extended.

"Funny. Ya fell right into my trap. I was only bait." said Blank before phasing through a black vortex on the ground underneath him leaving Tyrannis stunned until Alex plowed into him sending him flying through five trees.

"Next time we tell you to leave stuff to us, LISTEN!" yelled Alex giving the kids a side-glance stare.

"Sorry, sir." said everybody there except Tyrannis.

"Uh oh! TAKE COVER!" yelled Blank suddenly and he hit the dirt.

"What? OOF!" said Alex before getting sent flying by Dark Tyrannis.

"I'M GONNA RIP YOU APART!" yelled Dark Tyrannis charging the Chaos Dragon.

"Try it."

Both lock paws and despite Tyrannis being smaller and younger, he actually makes Alex fall to his knees in the strength test before kneeing him in the face, grabbing him by the face and throwing him into a rock wall, where he drills into it by at 30 feet.

"How pathetic. After all the talk I've heard of the Chaos Dragon, a mere twelve-year-old dragon kicks his butt." said Dark Tyrannis before taking off and leaving the group behind. Alex climbs out of the impression he made in the rock wall twenty minutes later.

"Please tell me that didn't happen." said Alex looking at them and their shocked expressions tell him otherwise, "Great. There goes my street cred."

He then fell over unconcious which surprised the group even more and so they had to drag him back to WarFang. Their hearts heavy and sad for they failed to get their friend back and any part of him that was their friend is gone.

WarFang; 1 Hour Later; Alleyway

"So why ya bring me here? I mean, why not meet in some place a bit...cleaner?" said Jazz as he sat against a wall.

"I called you hear because I'm not sure who to trust during this time. Tyrannis has two crystals and he's hidden them, where my Metal Head Scorpions have been unable to find out. Where do you think he would take them?" said Kor pacing back and forth.

"I don't know man. But I do know that something called the 'Night of Eternal Darkness' is in two days. Maybe they have something to do with that?"

Kor stopped pacing and looked wide-eyed at the too silvery Autobot.

"Transform Jazz. We have to get to the Ruins of Malefor(1) before Tyrannis!" said Kor.

"Right!"

Jazz transformed, opened a door for Kor, and took off. The silver car drove all day and night until they were at the Ruins of Malefor.

"Jazz, go into the cave and should I fail to stop Tyrannis, it is up to you." said Kor transforming.

"Will do big guy!" said Jazz running into the cave.

"Tyrannis stop this before its too late. You have NO idea what you are doing." said Kor to the horizon. His Metal Heads then set up a blockade near the entrance and they began patroling the area.

Tyrannis' Dream

A large dragon stood over Tyrannis as he rammed the Blade of Olympus deeper into his chest.

"Forgive me my son. You left me choice." said the dragon.

"No...choice?! You could...have...stopped me...before...now! It is...YOUR...fault WarFang...was destroyed! YOUR...fault Cynder...was killed! YOUR...fault I...turned out...this way!" said Tyrannis his voice slightly distorted.

"No, you chose the path of revenge, I tried to divert you, yet you wouldn't listen."

"You did no...such...thing!"

"Even now when you're at Death's doorstep you continue to defy me! (Leans in close) This will never happen if you stop your quest NOW!

Echoes: NOW! NOW! NOW! NOW! NOW! NOW!

Tyrannis shoots awake looking around in a panic and then when he noticed nothing from his dream he calmed down.

"Was...that...dad? I heard his voice...but...didn't see his face...Will I destroy WarFang and kill Cynder? No! It was just a nightmare! Nightmares do NOT come true!" said the dragon and he gathered the crystals and continued on his journey toward the Ruins Of Malefor. Landing a short distance from the cave, he notices its quiet...to quiet. A resounding screech fills the air and soon Metal Heads surround him and from atop a nearby Mountain Metal Kor lands in front of himm his tail swaying.

"Stop this now boy or else everything is DOOMED!" said Kor.

"NO! I'M NOT LISTENING TO AN OLD GEEZER LIKE YOU!" snarled Tyrannis getting into a fighting stance on his hind legs.

"Then so be it! Metal Heads, GET HIM!" said Kor pointing at Tyrannis.

The Metal Heads charge Tyrannis, each of them wanting to knock out the grey scaled-black striped dragon. Too bad none lay a claw on him. After thirty seconds the entire Metal Head group attacking him is dead.

"Looks like I have to do this myself! EAT CONVEXITY!" yelled Kor firing Convexity Blasts from his gems...
