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

Skyler was practicing on dummies once again ,but this time using both his Light and Convexity/Dark Powers. He had a armored dummy stand stock still as he charged up a Convexity/Light Blast and it was taking all his concentration to form the orb. He almost got it to its fullest power until...

"BOO!"

He lost his concentration and the orb was sent spiraling towards the wall, leveling it in a single blast. Skyler turned to see a shocked Sparx.

"Don't...do...that...again..." growled Skyler forming another Convexity/Light Orb.

After he finally got it to the right size, he pulled a large gun with something resembling a skull at the end out of a pillar of fire and put the orb into the ammo slot before taking aim and charging it even more with the weapon's own energy. Sparx had to shield his eyes from the glow of the weapon. Skyler fired the weapon and a loud 'crack!' was heard as the projectile struck the dummy, sending arcs of Convexity and Light in different directions for a few seconds.

"I still got the touch with the Peace Maker." said Skyler twirling the weapon in one hand.

"You are one seriously weird dragon." said Sparx.

"At least I fight and not make smart-mouth comments."

Sparx tried to say something, but instead flew off as Skyler prepared another dummy. Suddenly something went wrong with the dummies. They became enshrouded in black mist and Skyler put the Peace Maker away as he brought his claws' serrated edge out and got into a fighting stance.

Talos and Pyre were walking thru the market place of the city when a huge explosion was heard and pillars of smoke were coming from the training hall.

"What was that?" asked Pyre.

Her answer came as Skyler came flying in, but he plowed into a fuit stand, flattening it as he crashed. He got up with pieces of wood falling off him. A dummy then tackled him and he grabbed its head and slammed it to the ground. Soon at least six small dummies were attacking him along with 2 armored ones, but one thing that was strange about them was the black mist.

After 2 minutes each dummy was nothing but match sticks and the black mist faded away and Skyler's wounds seemed to be taking their toll on him.

"Something's...not...right..." he said before he fell over.

Talos and Pyre then brought him to the hospital.

3 HOURS LATER

A huge crowd surrounded two dragons having an arm-wrestling match and they were booing the greenish-orange dragon with black and white splotches on his scales and fur who wasn't even straining against Terrador. Terrador was sweating up a storm because Skyler's arm wouldn't move, not even an inch, and Skyler was reading a book of all things and not even trying. No Skyler wasn't cheating, because he had no arm spikes digging into the stone table, no Earth based abilities, and he wasn't even looking.

"You done yet?" asked Skyler not taking his eyes off the book.

Without warning, he moved his arm and slammed Terrador onto the ground and closed the book, leaving every dragon there stunned. One dragon went up to the book now resting on the table. The title read:

'HOW TO BEAT TERRADOR AT ARM WRESTLING'

Terrador saw this and was completely dumbstruck.

Skyler was relaxing at a sandy beach and was looking at the setting sun.

'Kind of nice to finally have a bit of down time.' thought Skyler, but something kept nagging at him and his tail's fur started bristling. His tail only bristled when an enemy was near, or somebody was watching. Scanning the area with his vision mods, he found nothing on Infared, Tech, or Neuro and so decided it was nothing and turned his back on the shadows unaware as a silvery tail disappeared.

Suddenly he heard explosions in the distance and teleported to the city's gates where thousands of Bio-mechs were advancing. Spyro, Cynder, Crux, Seven, Talos, and Maxios were then by his side as the Bio-mechs kept coming.

"Slag!" he muttered unsheathing his wrist-blades.
