Also, fans of the Original Spyro series (Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2, Spyro 3, etc) do not burn me for what I plan to do, if you must have Colonel Mustang do it for you. [Hysterical Laughter]

Skyler was walking towards Shard's place when suddenly the strange feeling of being watched crept up on him. Turning his eyes to Infared, he scanned the immediate area and found a lone figure watching. Forming a light whip, he launched it at the figure, wrapping it around him.

"COME HERE!" he yelled pulling it closer and put his right leg/arm on the figure when it spoke.

"{Skyler, don't kill me.}" spoke the one-eyed Vasudan before fading away and voices flooded Skyler's mind.

"Seek the Caverns of Time."

"Seek the ruins of the HummingBird Military Base."

"Don't go."

"Follow the path of the Fox Dragon."

"Redeem yourself."

Shaking his head, he looked to where he pinned One-Eye and found nothing.

"What...is going on?" he asked himself continuing toward's Shard's house.

NEXT DAY

Skyler was thinking things over and decided to visit the Guardians.

When he entered their chamber, they instantly noticed that he was nervous.

"Skyler, what is on your mind?" asked Terrador.

"Well...last night, I saw...One-Eye, but he faded away...then...voices filled my head..." spoke Skyler uneasily.

"Explain." said Volteer.

"The first voice sounded corrupt when it said 'Seek the Caverns of Time', the second sounded normal when it said 'Seek the ruins of the HummingBird Military Base', the third said 'Don't go', the fourth said 'Follow the path of the Fox Dragon', and the fourth one has me on edge...'Redeem yourself'."

"HummingBird Military Base? That place was destroyed when my grand ancestors were around. Why would these 'voices' want you to go there?" said Cyril.

"That truly is the question, isn't it? Yet, what of this 'Caverns of Time'? That place is nothing but a myth, althought I have no doubt that we could learn a great deal from such a place. If you happen to find it, will you tell me the shortest and quickest route to said place?" said Volteer.

"Skyler, I suggest you go to the ruins of the Military Base and see what you can find. Cyril will acompany you." said Terrador.

"Right, let's get on with it." said Cyril walking out the door followed by Skyler.

HummingBird Military Base Ruins

Skyler and Cyril wondered about the ruins until they came upon a statue of a tall dragon covered in centuries' worth of dust. Skyler brushed the dust off a plaque that read:

Here Lies Spyro the Legendary's good side before his Corruption

" 'Spyro the Legendary'? Why does that have a bad ring to it?" said Cyril while Skyler looked at the statue which when compared to the rest of the ruins, it looked brand new.

The two dragons soon found the ruins of what looked like a Command Center and went inside. Skyler stepped on a button without knowing it and a hologram appeared of a penguin with a damaged jetpack on his back.

"Commander James Byrd final report,

We are losing the war against Spyro and we have already lost Agent 9, may that good soldier rest in peace, and Bentley tells me I'm next due to my military capibilites. Bentley and Shelia plan to trap Spyro in a classified location while I give them time to prepare. I leave this message for those that encounter this threat. A purple dragon can be good, but they are not immune to corruption, such is the sad case of Spyro the Legendary. I will not let my friendship with him blind me, he will be stopped."

Suddenly a new voice was heard.

"Oh James, time to come out and play." said a distorted voice.

"May we end this darkness painlessly." said Byrd before the hologram ended.

Skyler whirled around as a metal penguin came into view with his hands, uh, make that flippers, in the air.

"Don't shoot!" said the penguin with the same voice, if somewhat distorted, as the hologram's.

"Who are you?" said Skyler bringing out a triple-barreled shotgun.

"Formerly Commander James Byrd of the HummingBird Air Force." said the penguin.

"That recording is well over 2000 years old, what'd you do? Build a robotic clone of yourself with your memories?"

"Exactly what I did. I believe you're the one the Chronicler told me about." said Commander Byrd.

"Anybody else survive from that battle?" asked Skyler lowering his weapon.

"I'm the only other one to survive." said a cheetah walking in with his hood over his face.

"Hunter of Avalar, correct? You don't seem to be over 2000 years old." said Skyler.

"You can thank my late girlfriend for that. Before Spyro the Legendary killed the others, she gave this green time gem to me so that I could keep an eye on the spot where he was sealed." said Hunter removing the hood and showing a hidden necklace around his neck with the green gem.

"Does the current Spyro know about this?" asked Cyril.

"No. We suggest he doesn't find out until later." said Hunter and Cyril nodded.

"Fair enough, but I have a bad feeling about something." said Skyler before he and Cyril left.

Once Skyler and Cyril were well out of ear shot, James spoke again.

"Tribe still not accepting you back?"

"No, old friend they're not." said Hunter impassively.

"I liked you better when you where hyperactive."

"[Chuckles] Times change."

END CHAPTER

READ AND REVIEW.

Like I said, sorry to fans of the ORIGINAL Spyro series for doing that to the Original (Spyro 1, 2, 3, etc), but it just seems to explain A New Begining in a way.

Note: I own nothing, but Skyler. And Blaze and (Decepticon) Hunter's designs.
