Chapter 28

Next Day

Tyrannis was in the Mess Hall his head on the table and his gold eyes were dull. His mind continually replaying what Barren said about his and Siren's Tyrannis going bad and it upset him, a lot. He couldn't get it out of his head and he wondered if he wouldn't go bad again like the one those two knew.

'No! I'm never going down that path again! Lesh's neck scars are a constant reminder of how bad that is!' thought Tyrannis before his eyes regained their bright gold coloring and he went to the Mountain Arena. Tyrannis entered the arena and sighed before he spotted Barren.

'Still find it hard to believe that dark boy here is ol' smart-mouth.' thought Tyrannis before he began walking towards the Void dragon.

"So I hear you're more ruthless than ol' Blank here? Wanna spar?" said Tyrannis as he easily dodged a Void Blast.

"Yeah I'm worse, and I still have an animosity for you in a way and woe betide those who get me angry." said Barren giving Tyrannis a glare.

"You think you can scare me? My own past is my worst nightmare and you are nothing compared to it. I still shudder at the sight of Lesh's neck scars. *Shudders* Besides, I'm nothing like the Tyrannis...or Tyrannt...you know." said Tyrannis with a smirk as his gold eyes became demonic golden eyes.

"RAAAH!" roared Tyrannis as spikes erupted from his body and he curled himself into a ball and charged towards Barren who was stunned for a moment before he warped himself away from Tyrannis' attack path. Tyrannis uncurled himself and landed on his feet before he launched a massive black fireball at Barren who sent the fireball into the Void.

"Let's see you avoid this..." said Tyrannis with a smirk before he fired metal wires from his cyber arm that wrapped around Barren and became tight, "I win."

"Not quite." said Barren before he Void Warped out of the wires causing them to retract back into Tyrannis' cyber arm.

"Slag!" swore Tyrannis as he got into a melee match with Barren. Barren had to avoid the Stegosaur-like tail Tyrannis had and the spikes jutting out of Tyrannis' body as he attacked.

"Pulverizing Rocket Blow!" yelled Tyrannis as his fist connected with Barren's jaw sending the Void dragon flying and into a wall. He got up and winced before he noticed his right wing was dislocated. The spikes on Tyrannis' body then retracted and Tyrannis got up and into a stance. Barren charged and got backhanded into another wall and tried to get up but failed. Tyrannis then (barely) wrapped his metal claws around Barren's throat.

"Surrender." said Tyrannis calmly and not very threateningly.

Barren suddenly looks distance and began slamming his clenched paw repeatedly into Tyrannis's cyber arm until it shatters, breaking his paw in the process, grabs the still operational part and rips it off Tyrannis who staggers back in pain and clutches the now bleeding elbow. Due to the pain he is caught off guard when Barren tackles him and begans clawing at him.

"This is for Laya you sick son of a b**!" growled Barren his eyes glazed over.

Tyrannis manages to kick Barren off and tries to crawl away but is grabbed by a Void claw emanating from Barren's unbroken paw.

"You aren't getting away this time." snarled Barren before he began to claw at Tyrannis again when he's hit by a massive black dragon.

"STOP!" snarled Lesh as he got defensively in front of his injured friend, his natural and cybernetic eyes narrowing at Barren. Vines erupt from the ground and Emerald walks out of them and gasps upon seeing the bloodied form of Tyrannis.

"Don't worry...Emerald...I'll be fine...I always...am...*coughs up blood*" gasped Tyrannis still clutching his bleeding arm. Barren's eyes then come back into focus and he warps into the Void in shock.

Suddenly Rivet is there.

"Hurry! Stop the bleeding!" said the mini-Autocon as he pulled out numerous tools (20x larger than him) along with replacement parts for the now ruined arm. Rivet works on the arm as Emerald uses various healing plants to heal Tyrannis' many wounds which give him more scars, one of which is his left side being a big gash and had to be covered in metal.
