Viper's P.O.V.~

I quickly brought my tail towards my talons. The end of it looked like a harmless tail with metal strapped around the tip of it. Then on command it turned into a blade, I used it to cut through the ropes and using my claws the cut off the rest. I glared at End.

End's P.O.V.~~

"They...have a facility?" Venom asked.

I nodded "Yes, not only that but the-"

"ENOUGH!!!"

I shot towards Viper, seeing him standing and free from the ropes.

The others flinched from him, then Platinum glared. "How did yo-"

"How stupid can you be!?" Viper laughed "Geez, you guys are quite humorous." Viper smiled toothy.

"Well, enough about all that nonsense about Mechanics. It won't be very useful later, well at least to you guys."

I walked forward guarding everyone from Viper with my wings open. "Viper, it's all just between me and you. Let them be and we'll settle this somewhere else."

"Oh but that's where your wrong End!" Viper picked up a rope piece "You've exposed our secret, now they're all in danger."

"So it's true." Platinum spoke.

"Of course it's true idiot!! What!? Did you think that Mechanics just magically appear from thin air or something!!" I can tell by his voice that Viper was getting impatient.

He swayed his tail over to his front talons, relieving a blade of some sort.

It was like a medium sized sword, with spikes out the sides.

"Now, who's first up. Don't worry, I'll make it quick, probably." Viper laughed to himself.

No one took a step forward, Viper frowned. "You guys are no fun, funny, but not fun." he sighed. "I guess I'll have to choose huh?"

Viper eyes darted back and forth looking at everyone, then stopped immediately. "You."

Everyone looked at who he was looking at and it lead to Terran. Why him? Out of all of us, why would he pick him first? I gave it more thought then it hit me. If Terran dies, then he won't be able to heal us.

Terran accepted his challenge and took a step forward. "Let's get this over with sinister."

Viper smiled "Oh this will be fun!"

"No!" I said sternly. "If anyone's going to fight Viper first or at all, it should be me."

Viper growled "Who gave you the permission to talk traitor." I ignored Viper's comment and stepped towards him. "Viper, you and me are going to battle, that's how it should end, but knowing you, you won't let it end just like that, so if you beat me, then you can battle everyone, but if I win, then you will leave us alone, permanently." Viper gave himself some time to think, then smiled "I've been waiting to battle you for a long time."

He jumped out straight at me, catching me off guard. He tackled me down which cause us to roll off the ledge of the cave we were gathered in. I fell down on my back onto a flat rock surface below the ledge above. I groaned at the pain down my back then got up. I saw myself on a ledge then looked below me seeing Viper under my ledge. He was still gaining some consciousness so I took it as an advantage. I arched my back then built up a fiery lightning breath in my throat then shot it straight towards him. I couldn't tell if it got him or not cause some dust flew up and the blast caused some rocks to fall from the mountain.

Purple flames danced along the rock then died out, leaving me in a smoke and dust cloud. I flapped my wings causing it to clear up. I looked below me seeing no body of Viper's in sight.

"Looking for me." Viper jumped straight out of the remains of the smoke dust cloud and tackled me down. I pushed him off with my hind legs using my back claws to scratch while doing so. He lost balanced and fell to his side. I stood up seeing a mixture of green liquid and crimson blood on his torso, and a bit on his back, along with a few scorch marks.

He stood up and I pushed him to the rock wall. My talons were digging into his shoulders, causing him to hiss. "I've trained a lot for this moment!" I growled "I'm not just some pathetic dragon who you think you can control to do your dirty work for you!!" I dug my talons in further and he roared, then glared at me. "After escaping that facility, I knew someday we will have to come face to face and one of us would die in a battle between us. So I began to train, I studied the mechanics structures, both strengths and weaknesses!! And I battled mechanics using them as battle dummies!! This world is worth protecting if my friends live in it." I glared at him, a purple light building up in my throat. "So I won't have you ruin it for them."

Viper immediately clamped my jaw shut with his front talons, digging them in as well. "It's amazing that you think you can win." He pushed me away, causing me to lose my balance. He stomped his talon onto my tail. "Oh, End, do you really think I would fail my kind just like that, when they are depending on me." He dug his talons in, I winced at the sudden pain. "Lucky for you, I like to have fun while doing my job." His claws began to rotate, his talons weren't normal, they're mechanic. So it allowed him to have his claws rotate, tearing up the scales, skin, and muscle inside a dragon, but also allowing him to cause more unbearable pain.

I screamed at the pain while he stood there laughing. He reached out and grabbed my wing, pulling them towards him. He smiled looking at me with his free talons outstretched. "Let's see how you are as a sitting duck." Before he could've done anything, he let go immediately and fell back roaring in pain.

I pulled my tail and wing in immediately then looked at him. He was trying to reach to his back. He screamed and I heard the sound of scales sizzling and melting. His back came into view and I saw a big gash on his left back shoulder. Black was surrounding the wound, then the melting scales came to a stop when reaching the metal area. I looked up, seeing the dragons there looking confused, anxious, and scared. Then something black came out of nowhere and tackled down Viper, pushing him off the ledge.

I ran towards it and looked down, seeing Viper getting up. After all that, he's still somehow alive. He looked up and glared. "This isn't over End!! I'll be back with reinforcements!! The dragon race will be extinct!!" He jumped down a rock and then looked up one final time, smiling "In the meantime, enjoy the remaining sanity of Platinum." Then he flew off.

Terran was the first to come down, he immediately began wrapping my tail in bandages and cleaning my wounds. I looked over to who supposedly save me. He had smooth black shiny scales, no wings, eight legs, yellow eyes with split iris, a prehensile tail that split into four at end, and smooth horns coming out of his head "Who are you?"

He glanced over at me "Obsidian."
