MAXIOS' NIGHTMARE:
Maxios awoke to find himself, not in his room, but in a empty room filled with darkness and then he spotted another dragon, Vulcanus, who also spotted him.
"NO! Keep away! You'll only get me in more trouble!" screamed the fire dragon in panic.
"What are you talking about?"
"He'll...he'll...do worse than take my wings if I'm seen with you! Go away!"
That's when Maxios noticed that Vulcanus' wings were nothing but stubs now.
Suddenly a human with blank eyes appeared behind Vulcanus.
"No! I haven't done anything! He found me, I wasn't conspiring against you! Honest!"
The figure gave Vulcanus a thumbs down, then put his hand out and a living spear came out and wrapped itself around Vulcanus.
"GET OVER HERE!" yelled the figure as he pulled Vulcanus towards him.
"SUCKER!" yelled the figure before jumping in backwards into a portal.
"NOOOOOOO!" screamed Vulcanus before the portal closed.
Maxios wondered what that was about, when he heard footsteps behind him.
"Harley, are we in the right place?" asked a man in a purple suit who had green hair, white skin and a red, almost eternal, smile .
"Sure we are Puddin'! That's who we're supposed to teach a lesson to." said a girl in a jester-like outfit.
"Really? I was expecting the old dragon to at least give us a mental job worth something." said the man in a almost dramatic voice.
"Who are you?" asked Maxios with his eyes narrowing.
"Silly me! Where are my manners?" said the man as he smacked his forehead.
"Right here Puddin'!" said the jester girl pulling out a huge jar filled to the top with his "manners".
"[Hysterical Laughter]...Sorry...sorry...My name is the Joker." said the man extending a hand.
Maxios took it, but got a 50k volt.
"[Hysterical Laughter] That never gets old! Say, why the long face? You need a smile on that face." said the man extending a flower which spit a cloud of red gas in Maxios' face which began making him laugh hysterically.
"Hey, Puddin'?"
"Yes, Harley?"
"Skyler said we weren't supposed to kill him, just weaken him enough for Skyler to scare him."
"Oh, drat! I was just starting to have fun. Oh, well. We have other ways of having fun, right? [Hysterical Laughter]"
Suddenly Carnival music began playing and Maxios stopped laughing uncontrollably as the man brought out a jack-in-the-box on a tripod and began cranking it.
[The Monkey chased the Weasel starts playing]
[BONG!]
At the end a jack pops out of the box with a tommy gun and begins laughing as it tries to shoot Maxios, with the Joker laughing hysterically.
Harley then back-flipped up to Maxios and delivered a split-kick to his jaw. He got up and she noticed this before pulling out a huge hammer.
"If I hit the bell, I get a prize right Puddin'?" asked the girl to the Joker.
"Yep! [Hysterical Laughter]"
For her build, she was quite strong, because Maxios had to avoid her hammer with every swing she made until she finally connected.
[DING!]
Maxios could have sworn that he heard a bell when she hit him and he had gotten quite tired of this. When she was bowing to the Joker, Maxios got up and charged her, hitting her square between the shoulder blades. She screamed in pain before flying into a brick wall.
"Okay, I think we got him where Skyler wants him, soooo...Can we have our payment?" asked the Joker to the air before in front of him the green dragon appears.
"Don't do that! That's worse than what Bats does!" said the Joker before being handed a 90 karat ingot of gold, "Wow! Is THIS REAL?!"
The figure nods mutely and then quietly explains how it works, which Maxios is unable to hear.
"Okay, well bye. And don't worry, Bats will never know we talked. Oh, purple boy...Merry Christmas!" said the Joker before he and Harley disappeared in a poof of gray smoke.
Maxios found a present wrapped in a bow in front of him and eyed it suspiciously.
[TICK, TOCK, TICK, TOCK, TICKTOCK,TICKTOCK,TICKTOCKTICKTOCKTICKTOCKTICK TOCK...]
[BOOOM!]
When the smoke cleared, Maxios was holding his burnt snout as Skyler approached.
"You deserve it." said Skyler circling Maxios at a walking pace with his hands behind his back.
"What do you want?" growled Maxios.
"See if I can change your ways, like with how I'm doing with Vulcanus. Notice any thing different besides the wings?"
"No."
"Tsk. Too bad. You see, a few days ago, he and Crater were picking on Cynder. I teach them a lesson, Crater loses a few teeth and Vulcanus gets his black heart brought to the surface, in other words, I made his red scales blackish red and his crimson eyes black. With the way you're going, you'll wind up like him too."
"What'd you do to his wings?"
"He called me a coward, so I...removed his wings. By the way, just because you're purple doesn't mean you get respect from me so easily. You have to earn it and so far, all I see is a trophy. So...will you change your ways?"
"Bite me!" growled Maxios.
"Ohhh, bad choice of words."
Before Maxios can react, Skyler bites a piece of his shoulder off and...eats it.
"Yuck! You taste like Blargian gnat cheese!" said Skyler hacking the piece up.
Maxios staggered back from the pain...wait! Weren't you supposed to wake up in a dream. Suddenly cackling laughter muffled in fire was heard behind him as a song started playing.

FREDDY'S COMING FOR YOU
Turning around he saw a man with claws for hands, burnt skin, a tattered red and black sweater, and a bowler hat.
"So Skyler, you taking over my department?" asked the man.
"No, Freddy. Just gonna give him a scare."
"Ohhhh, mind if I watch?" asked the man making a seat and a tube of popcorn appear.
"Help yourself." said Skyler advancing, "first a test. Lets see how hopeless you are."
A little girl with glowing yellow eyes walks up to Maxios and sees he's in the way.
"Could you please move? You're in the way of the angel." said the little girl with her abnormally large eyes.
"Get out of my way." said Maxios as he slapped the girl aside who began crying and she ran off.
"Daddy, the mean dragon hurt me!"
[Monstrous roar!]
From around the corner came a charging hunk of metal, with its port holes a bright red, its drill whirring, and it was heading right for Maxios. Before it hit him, it faded in mist.
"Failed the Little Sister test...You, Maxios the purple dragon, are hereby charged with a cruel heart." said Skyler.
Maxios had had enough with this dragon and breathed fire at him and Skyler screamed in agony before falling to the ground. Maxios was getting ready to walk away when Freddy began laughing.
"You know nothing about the dream world, do you? Even here Skyler is immune to fire, besides with me here with him we have control of your dream...or should I say 'nightmare'?"
Skyler got up, his skin dissolving to reveal black bones and he became bigger than any dragon, even Malefor, and his eyes became pitch-black.
"Hope it turns to morning soon, or you're a dead dragon!" said the Dark Skeleton dragon as it breathed shadow fire.
Maxios avoided it, but the skeletal tail grabbed him and before the buzzsaw point could kill him, a small fraction of light came in.
"Sorry, Fred. Its morning."
"Aw, man! It was just getting to the good part!" said Freddy before he turned to dust and was blown away.
"This was nothing more than a dream Maxios. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHA!" said Skyler before dissolving into black mist.
Maxios shot awake and looked to see the sun was rising. He got ready to get up when he noticed his right arm was sore. Looking he saw that his right shoulder was almost gone as his blood slowly flowed out and that's when he fainted.
In the garden section of the city,
Skyler may look in his 20s as a dragon, but he was truly over a million years old, yet none of these girl dragons got the message that he wasn't interested. It was like running from a ravenous pack of rancors and he was running out of energy fast. Finding himself in a dead end corner he turned around as the dragonesses crowded in and a lame, yet desperate plan came to mind.
"Look!" he yelled pointing behind the horde of girls and they listened and they all lost their attention on him.
Seeing his moment, he began climbing onto the wall and was over the wall before he heard them scream for him. The scents of the flowers overwhelmed his already strong sense of smell, nearly knocking him out. He recovered in half a second and decided for extra safety to hide. He began spinning extra fast and soon he was buried in safety under the stones of WarFang, sure Earth wasn't one of his elements but he did know how to manipulate it when he needed to. He leaned back in the little crevice he made and relaxed.
"How did I ever get so popular? What'd I do? If anything, they should be after Spyro, not a dragon who can control darkness...and light. Mating season...phf...who needs it?" he said to himself before his hearing decieved him and he heard the sounds of a siren singing.
'No don't go! If anything, you should know that singing that beautiful doesn't belong to a beautiful creature! Kratos taught you that when you and him went thru the desert to find Pandora's temple!' screamed his inner self, but to no avail.
When he burst out of his hidden spot in a shower of yellow-goldish rocks, his eyes came upon the singer's voice and they literally popped out of their sockets as his mouth dropped to the stone floor. He saw a beautiful ice dragoness and his heart was in his throat at the sight. He calmly walked over and looked her in the eyes and she did the same. His tail brought a mariad of flowers and she took them and spoke with such beauty he almost melt.
"You certainly know how to get a girl's attention. What's your name, big boy?" said the ice dragoness.
"Skyler." he responded love-struck.
"Care to escort me to the training hall?" she asked.
"Yeah, I have all the time in the world."
She got up from the bed of flowers she was on and walked forward, Skyler following her closely by her side.
Crux and Seven saw this and both their mouths were open in shock, Seven's second jaw was out and open also, as they saw Skyler walk away with a ice dragoness. Seven had a heart attack at seeing the two lock tails and Skyler put one of his wings over her.
[Brings out Paramedic heart-starter devices] "CLEAR!" yells Seven as the electricty courses thru him and sends him into nearby wall.
