Talos, Maxios, Pyre, Elios, and Crux belong to Dragon Of Chaos97.

Dark Skyler advanced on the Bio-mech captain, but was stopped as a Knockout canister landed in front of him, releasing the knockout gas inside. Spyro, Cynder, and Talos were knocked out instanstly. Crux and Seven got gun butts to the back of their heads. Skyler refused to down and was only inches from slicing the captain's head off before he fell and he returned to normal.

'Where am I? I smell...brimestone? Only places I know around here would be the volcano or Munitions Forge. Guess they have a factory here...' thought Skyler as he regained consciousness in a prison cell.

He then spotted a Bio-mech standing too close to his cell. Skyler reached out and grabbed the soldier by the head and...

The others regained consciousness in another cell and looked around.

"Great! Another cell." said Seven getting annoyed.

"Wait. Do you hear that?" asked Talos.

"What?" asked Crux.

"Tapping on the wall."

"(Listens Intently) That's Morse code." said Crux.

"What's it say?" asked Seven.

"S...t...a...n...d, Stand. B...a...c...k. Stand back."

The group look at each other confused then jump back as the wall explodes. The dust was so think even Crux, Seven, Blaze and Hunter couldn't see thru it. Its not until a figure stumbles out do they see.

"Maxios?!" said Talos in shock.

"[Cough] For the love of the Ancestors, come on! Don't you know a break out when you see one?!" said Maxios motioning them to continue.

They look at each in shock, but then continue as they hear guards coming.

"Where's Skyler?" asked Cynder.

Suddenly another wall explodes and a screaming Bio-mech comes flying out and lands, legs first, in lava. The Bio-mech continues screaming until its head is engulfed in lava.

"Okay lets go!" said Skyler joining them as they made their escape.

Suddenly the gates close but Skyler continues forward.

"COMING THRU!" yelled the Fox Dragon plowing over the two Bio-mechs and smashing the Metal Gate down, leaving them stunned until the soldiers behind them start firing their carbines.

"{You fools! Get in the tanks and go after them!}" yelled the commander.

Soon three hover tanks were after the dragons as they continued to make their getaway.

"That's it!" said Skyler turning around and slamming his fist into the ground. Suddenly three Dark Crystal Golems erupted from the ground as did a Dark Crystal Wall, blocking the pursuing Bio-mechs, "Not sure how long those Golems or the wall will last...lets go!"

A fair ways away from the Bio-mech prison, the group head into a cave for shelter as it starts raining, hot acid rain.

"Maxios...why did you help us? Why help me?" asked Talos when he found his tongue.

"Because...because it felt...good to help...you when Skyler tried to kill you and you defending me dispite all the horrible things I did to you...It changed me, besides I still have a mark to show for my sins. [Points to ruins of the broken off horn] So...can we put the rivalry behind us now?" [Extends paw]

'Is this Maxios? No...it...it can't be...' thought Talos in shock before taking the paw and shaking it.

"Oh, uh, I never really wanted Pyre, I just did it to irk you."

Skyler silently chuckled to himself then used his tech vision to see if anything electronic was nearby and found nothing.

"The Bio-mechs have weapons that can kill in one to two hits, so you will all need armor." said Skyler heading to the back of the cave.

"Where are we going to find a Metalsmith out here?" asked Crux, "Or even the materials to make the armor?"

Skyler smirks at the question.

"Crux, remember those Young Bloods the day you 'died'?" asked Skyler.

"Yeah. Why?"

"I custom made my armor. I can forge any armor or weapon you can think of. I can add special properties to the armor, I am a master Weaponsmith and Armorsmith, so look no further for all your armor needs!" said Skyler.

"Hunter, Mining Mode."

"Yes sir!" said Hunter transforming into a Scorpion resembling a Blunder Tail, but has a drill for a tail, "Make way. Miner coming thru."

Hunter went over to a specific spot near the cave wall and began drilling as Skyler created an anvil from the nearby rocks using his Light powers and then brought out a hammer and once Hunter delivered a thick chunk of iron, Skyler began working on the armor and it wasn't until three days later, that he finished.
