Tyrannis came to and he found his hands, legs, and wings tied up. The only part of him not tied up was his tail, he smirked as he formed the liquid metal tip into a bone-saw and began cutting the ropes around his wings. He had managed to get his wings free and flapped them a few times lightly to get the blood flow back into them.

'Whoever tied me up did it rather harshly' thought Tyrannis to himself as he moved onto his hands and after a few seconds they too were free. He grabbed the ropes and pulled them apart and he got up, popping joints. Suddenly his spine chilled and he barely dodged a punch that shattered the pillar behind him. In the dim lighting he was unable to see his attacker clearly yet his instincts screamed at him to, quote: "Kick said fool's a$$!"

He breathed a stream of Poison is 150 degree arc that his attacker easily dodged. Suddenly a Shadow Claw reached out for him but he easily dodged it before he did a Black Fire Tornado and advanced on attacker. When was within striking distance he stopped spinning and tackled the dragon, pinning him to the ground. Claws with serrated edges flashed in the dim light before Tyrannis saw the four neck scars. His eyes went wide before he backed up and retracted his claws, his heart racing.

"Why? Why must fate make me nearly kill a friend again?!" growled Tyrannis dropping to his knees and putting his head into his hands.

"Do I know you?" said the dragon getting back up.

"Yeah runt, you do." said Tyrannis before he got up and looked at his friend. He now noticed Lesh had a cybernetic left eye.

"Where'd you get the eye runt?" said Tyrannis tapping the lense.

+FLASHBACK+

Rivet crawled up Lesh's face and pulled out a measuring tape and stretched it across the gape that was once Lesh's left eye.

"Hmm, nice distance...very easy to fix..." muttered the tiny Autocon to himself.

"Can you fix my eye?" said Lesh to the small Autocon.

"Yes my boy, I can give you a brand new eye, but uh...you may want to be unconscious for the operation." said the doctor bot before he pulled out a drill twenty times his size and pulled the trigger causing it to roar to life. Lesh gulped.

"Nurse, give the patient his medicine!"

"What medici-" he never finished his sentence as a giant mallet came into view and then...blackness...

+END FLASHBACK+

Lesh looked away.

"None of your business." muttered Lesh.

"Let me guess everybody hates me for disappearing for a year?" said Tyrannis.

"What do you think?" replied Lesh glaring daggers at Tyrannis.

"Point taken. Whatever Emerald has to dish out at me, I'll take it."

The next thing Tyrannis knew was unreasonable amounts of pain that spread across his eyes. He clutched his face with both his hands and fell to his knees grunting in pain. He removed his hands to reveal the four scars that now ran between both eyes and he looked into the eyes of an enraged Emerald.

"I guess I deserved that...matter of fact, claw me again...I deserve to be punished." said Tyrannis looking directly into Emerald's eyes...and she complied.

He received 4 scars running down both sides of his face (4 on each side) and he didn't flinch.

"W-why? Why'd you let yourself get scarred?" said Emerald choking on her words.

"Because I messed up. Sand does not mix well with dimensional travel devices, see?" said Tyrannis holding up the portal gun which was now sparking before it blew up, "Oh well. Who needed it anyway? And if its worth anything...I'm sorry."

Emerald couldn't bear it. Here was Tyrannis, apologizing and he willingly received 16 scars on his face due to her anger towards him for leaving them for one year. She pulled him into a hug and he was shocked before he returned the gesture. After a minute or two they broke the hug and he cleared his throat.

"So, where are we?" said Tyrannis giving off a toothy smile, his teeth incredibly sharp and they twinkled with a "ping!"

"The Old Mountain base." said Lesh.

Tyrannis' mode dropped instantly at the name of the place and the two left him alone in the room. He picked up a rock and crushed it with his eyes closed.

"Whoever killed my father and destroyed WarFang...(Looks up with gold demonic eye)...will pay!" growled Tyrannis before a change came over him.
