Talos, Maxios, Pyre, Elios, Kai, and Crux belong to Dragon. Of. Chaos97.
After Spyro woke up, Byrd told him about Spyro the Legendary's heroism until he was corrupted and then he killed off his friends, starting with his dragonfly. Spyro was shocked, not only had this purple dragon had his name, but a dragonfly with Sparx's name, and that the dragon had been corrupted.
"So, what you're saying is, this dragon got free of his prison and has now disappeared?" said Spyro once he found his tongue.
"Yes, but one thing that confuses me is that when Hunter reported to me about the disappearance, he said that he saw traces of a skirmish." replied Byrd.
"Traces of a skirmish...I have a feeling Legendary wasn't corrupted by shadow, but by somebody like Rage." said Skyler.
"Wait...you mean that crazed planet destroying lunatic that was once inside you?!" said Sparx.
"Don't remind me..." growled Skyler baring his teeth.
"INTRUDER AT THE GATE!" yelled a gate guard.
When the six dragons got to the top of the gate, their mouths dropped.
Limping towards the gate was a 35-year-old dragon with purple scales, two horns in the shape of Spyro's, the exact tail-blade, everything about this dragon matched Spyro except he was a good 15 years ahead of Spyro, his eyes were also an emerald color. One thing they noticed was that he had many wounds on him, cuts, burns, scratches, etc.
Skyler jumped down from the gate, followed by Byrd.
The dragon looked at Byrd with sorrow.
"Byrd...forgive me..." said the dragon before passing out.
Suddenly a shadowy claw reached out for the dragon, but retreated when a beam of heavily concentrated light hit it.
"Back off, Dark!" said Skyler his right hand aglow with Light energy.
"How dare you, Rage!" said the darkness, "This is my prize!"
"Sorry to disappoint but...Rage is finally dead."
"What! That fool! I'll get my prize one of these days Skyler and NOTHING YOU DO WILL STOP ME!" said the darkness retreating.
"Blaze, activate security protocol Alpha X-28." said Skyler lifting the unconscious purple dragon onto his shoulder.
Blaze appeared out of nowhere and started place rods in the ground that where filled with Light Energy around WarFang.
INFIRMARY
Spyro looked at Skyler.
"What is 'security protocol Alpha X-28'?" asked the young dragon.
"If somebody is corrupted by a being of dark energy, like Rage, the rods will send invisible light beams into the victim killing the darkness, or causing it to retreat. Very useful, especially for Legendary." replied Skyler.
"How is it useful?"
"Until Dark is destroyed, Legendary has to have a source of Light Energy protecting him or Dark will take control of him again."
"How do you know Dark?"
"Rage couldn't get into my memories very well, but I could get into his with ease."
At that moment Legendary walked out and looked better than before, but his eyes held untold sadness and Byrd walked over to him.
Spyro and Skyler then let the two friends be and went to the arena. Oce there, Skyler jumped into the arena and everybody gasped. Skyler saw his oppenent and he started laughing.
"I don't plan to kill you like last time, but...I've already won Maxios." said Skyler as he outstretched his arms.
In his left hand/paw a purple-black flame appeared, in his right a golden flame appeared. Soon fire started dancing in streaks around him, followed by the greenish-orange acid fire, then blue lightning, then orange and then the purple and gold flames started dancing too in streaks. All the while Skyler had a grin on his face. Shadows then started dancing around him.
"Is...is that a fury attack?!" yelled a spectator in the stands.
Maxios' eyes went wide as Skyler spread his wings and a massive blast of electricity struck him, followed by fire, shadow, light, Convexity, acid fire, and finally a blast of the elements combined. The blast sent him flying and Skyler walked over to him.
"Lucky I remembered I don't need to kill you anymore." said Skyler with the grin still on his face, "Although I was wide open to a counterattack while I built up the power."
Maxios got up and stumbled out of the arena and a big earth dragon, roughly 24 years of age, came charging at Skyler who morphed into Kakashi. The dragon swung at Kakashi/Skyler who ducked creating an after-image. The dragon then brought his paw down, but Kakashi/Skyler disappeared.
"Too slow!" said Kakashi/Skyler reappearing behind the dragon, "A Thousand Years of Death!"
The dragon was sent flying and plowed head first into the stone wall knocking him out cold and Skyler returned to normal, before another dragon, this time fire, came charging at him. The dragon was medium build, highly competetive, had two horns that curled back and touched his neck then curled upwards into spirals, his scales were bright red, his underbelly was blue, his wings matched his scales, his eyes were a marine blue, and his tail blade looked like a cutlass.
The dragon let loose a massive fireball which engulfed Skyler and once the smoke was gone, the Fox Dragon was brushing the ash off his scales.
"You done?" said Skyler and the fire dragon was stunned.
Suddenly flames engulfed Skyler and Scorpion replaced him.
"GET OVER HERE!" yelled Scorpion/Skyler launching the living spear at the dragon which wrapped itself around him and was sent flying towards Scorpion/Skyler who morphed back to normal and delivered a knee to the dragon's stomach, grabbed him by the horns and threw him onto the collapsed earth dragon.
A third dragon, this time an ice dragon, walked in. He then noticed...
"Ah, SLAG!" said Skyler as he realized it was...Shard.
She charged him, but it soon turned into a game of cat vs. mouse, Skyler being the mouse. The other dragons watched in awe as Skyler jumped onto and off the walls to aviod and attacks from Shard.
Suddenly she hit him with a blast of ice and he walked thru the ice storm towards her.
"I didn't want to do this but...forgive me."
Suddenly Shard fell over and Skyler fell to his knees as his Shattered Eye went back together. Picking Shard up, he carried her to the side-lines and gently put her down. Walking back into the arena's center ring, he saw Legendary and Kai advance.
"Two against one? Let me even the odds." said Skyler splitting himself in two.
"You think I'm dangerous as one. How about trying it-"
"-when there's two of me!"
Legendary then fired a bolt of electricity at both Skylers who easily dodged the attack.
"Too Slow!" said one morphing into Kakashi.
"You can't hit what you can't see!" said the other morphing into Reptile and disappearing from sight.
The two dragons then focused on Kakashi/Skyler who dodged Legendary's Ice and Electrical attacks, Kai's Pain and Darkness attacks with ease.
Suddenly Reptile/Skyler tackled Kai. Legendary was shocked, how could one dragon beome two yet fight together(?) suddenly he felt a presence behind him.
"Like I told the Earth Dragon, don't let your enemy get behind you. A Thousand Years of Death!"
Legendary flew into the wall and went unconscious. Kakashi/Skyler then returned to normal and watched as Reptile/Skyler attacked Kai.
Suddenly Reptile/Skyler leapt off Kai and returned to normal before merging back together with his double.
"That was fun. Now lets end it!" said Skyler snapping his head in a 180 degree turn and snapping it back. The crowd cringed at the sight.
Kai suddenly felt a a figure looming over him and barely managed to dodge a foot to the ground as Skyler came down. He looked at the one that was in front of him and saw it turn into spear that fell over.
Soon Kai was locked in a stare with Skyler as the Shattered Eye took its effect on him, he tried to fight the effect but with little success, his eyes were drooping and his legs were feeling weak. Before he knew it...blackness.
Skyler looked at the dragons he had so easily defeated, Kai though, something felt familiar about that dragon...he shrugged it off as Shard came to and he walked out of the arena with her.
Legendary came to and got off the other KO'ed dragons and stumbled out of the arena.
"I need to practice my skills again...I'm out of style..." he mumbled to himself as he continued stumbling.
The fire dragon, who we now identify as Crater, was the second to come to.
"So much for a small amount of payback for the teeth..." he mumbled before falling unconscious again.
Meanwhile in the Prison,
"They can't do this to me! I had every right to kill that dragon! He's a freak! They're all FREAKS!" yelled Shock pacing back in forth in his cell.
"Shock..." said a ghostly voice.
"Who's there?!"
"I have come to offer you power...beyond your wildest dreams..." said a shadowy figure crushing the guard's head.
As the cell opens the shadow engulfs Shock and a truly sinister grin appears on his face as he vanishes from sight.
