Prologue
Hi, I'm Elijah Robinson. I'm part of a group of warriors called the warriors of light {W.O.L.} who are the protectors of planet earth or so as they claim. They have a bad rep for being self important and vastly ambitious which piss me off. Also they seem to want to control the minds of young children to train them to become the new warriors in they're so called quest for peace and justice. My life changed when they killed my family in a supposed error but I knew better than that, and I was lost in the streets of Jersey as the age of 5. All seem lost when a mysterious man named Moses help me out protecting me and learning how to survive. Years fly by as I plot my revenge at the W.O.L. Moses taught me how to fight with a sword, he says I'm the best he's seen for a long time. Also we travel the world learning about new places and people but sadly learn also of the W.O.L. unseen hold on the world. They're not known to showing mercy to foreign nations.
Time just went by as I train and fought, even taken down a few down, some of the best I killed. Violence is common when I was a kid seeing people getting wipe out by gang brutality, life is harsh learn that the hard way. The W.O.L. kept tracking me by sending warriors after me trying to kill me but that failed. So they believe I have potent of becoming of becoming a powerful swordsman.
But for some reason I can't remember after the time I got kidnapped by this group called Shadow X: A program that brainwashes children to protect the peace, yeah right. Total bullshit all of it, they were preparing us for some war. Now in present day April 12, 2007, I'm now about 17 years old, lean figure, light brown skin tone, 5'9 tall, short dark brown hair, brown eyes and wearing eyeglasses, now wearing a light bodysuit that cover my whole body below my neck.
After a mission with my team, we mad dash our way to Earth for a distress call. Now my story begins….
Chapter 1
Robotic Rampage
Elijah's P.O.V.After our last mission from the desert planet, it was bewildering but it didn't prepare me to witness what happen next. Around earth is a fleet of starships of all types blocking Earth. It's the egg fleet who belongs to a mad scientist known as Dr. Eggman. Despite his foolish name and appearance, his IQ is off the charts and he's someone you don't want to mess with.
Our starship, Nova is zooming through space as it reaches for earth. I look outside the window to see the planet dying from eggman's robotic forces."What the hell is he doing here?" I thought as I see starships pounding the planet with laser fire.
My leader Arnold notices an area that wasn't focus by the fleet. "New York isn't being attacked?" Arnold said receiving a sigh from me. He responds with a mad glare."Got something to say, Elijah", he asked in a non friendly way.
"No sir. Captain Oblivious", I said in a fake salute which got him steamed up.
Arnold and I never got along. Two different ways of seeing things, also his foolishly loyal to the W.O.L. following their example unlike me who oppose there practices. He have valor but blindly goes into situations without thinking and with me, I'm brave but I'm not stupid.
They go check out the city for any unknown activity, as we approach the big apple, a shadowy figure is watching on top of a skyscraper." Soon Elijah your figure out your purpose", the figure said as it vanished into the streets below.
As I get out of the ship, the city is a complete mess the only thing that's intact is the statue of liberty staying proudly on the harbor, strangely unharmed." There'll be hell to paid eggman ", Arnold said angrily.
When we appear in the streets it's chaos everywhere you look, bodies of soldiers being rip apart by lasers and explosives, blood painted the streets and buildings and the smell of death I'm too familiar with covered the us.
"This is crazy", Joey said as he saw the scene before his eyes, Joey along with Jak count for the rest of our team.
"Eggman is all about the crazy these days", I commented as a group of 6 foot humanoid robots armed with laser blasters attached to their arms they're swatbots: Eggman's grunts in his army.
"Humans attack", the bots fire at us their lasers to pass us by. We fight back as we block the attacks to go towards them.
I slash at the first, then to upper slash the second one in the air to send it crashing to the ground with a well placed kick slamming it to bits.
Arnold swings at the third bot a right hook sending it through a wall," Flame darts", Arnold create daggers of fire in his hands to throw towards the fourth one to dismember it's limbs.
"Lightning Charge', Joey is engulf in electricity, tackle the 3 others to destroy them quickly.
Jak punch and kick the rest like a raging beast reducing them to scrap metal. Afterwards there was nothing left but the outskirts, junkyard." There goes the welcome wagon", I said.
Meanwhile as we go further the U.S. forces get pushed to the outskirts of the city by Eggman's robotic legion. As soon as we arrive upon a U.S Army encampment which belongs to 7th Ranger Battalion leaded by Captain Regal.
"Captain, how can we be of assistance", Arnold said as he salutes the Capt.
"Well guys the situation has gone from bad to worse", the Capt. said as I look on around me to see wounded soldiers with burns and lose limbs fighting the robot menace. The good doctor's robots are not known for showing mercy.
"How", I said curious and concern.
"Well you see. Eggman's forces seem to be protecting something. It has something to do with the statue of library" he said. I thought something was fishy with the statue.
"So what can we do?" Arnold said.
"Well you guys can help us break through the defensive line and destroy what they're guarding", Capt. said.
"I think we can handle it right guys?" Arnold said as we nodded in respond.
"Ok. You guys go in advance to soften up the defense and knock out the Plasma Mortar Cannons. Then once destroyed the battalion will come in and provide support. Next, you'll go to library Island, they say that there's a secret lab under the island. Once you get inside, find a way to destroy it. Understand?" he said as we all said "yes".
Within two hours the plan had started. We're closing in on the P.M.C.s. I stood on top of the building overlooking the site. I grab a sniper rifle from the side to prepare to snipe." Son, are you good at sniping? ", regal asked in my ear piece on the radio.
"I'm pretty good", I said as the captain laughs in my ear.
"Good. Alright get in position to take those metallic fuckers out", he said as he cut the radio.
I saw several targets around the objectives. I got behind a broken wall and perch my rifle on the hole of it to cover myself as I choose my first target. My first shot rings a loud bang as the bullet split a swatbot's head in half." Strike one", I said as I swiftly burst another one's head in two." That's Strike two", I said as the robots caught on where I'm hiding.
"Get him", the bots aim their blaster arms and fire me bashing the barrier with rapid force.
"This is making easy", I said in a sarcastisic tone as I manage to pop a swatbot in the dome with the large caliber round. "Strike three. You're out', I said as the marines and the other warriors begin to engage them down below.
"Nice work getting them distracted. Regroup ASAP', he said on the radio as it cuts off.
I put the sniper rifle on my back as I dash through the building to find them at swift speed.
They manage to defeat the squad and set a perimeter around the P.M.C.s as the captain and his squad begins to set the demo charges on the weapons the legendary warriors stand guard."Are you guys done yet", Joey said being impatient.
"Well kid, you got two things you can do. A. You can go out somewhere and get your ass blasted by bucketheads or B. You can shut the hell up and stand still", he said feeling very annoyed hearing him complain multiple times.
"Ok you guys are set", Arnold said as Regal and his squad mates got the charges prep to explode.
"They're all clear, everyone get away from the blast", regal shouted as all the guys clear the blast zone as the explosion tore the cannons to pieces and a plume of blue smoke tower over the metal ruins.
I stop to see the smoke overhead." They destroyed the cannons. That's one problem solved", I said as I continue to run for the location.
"Elijah. This is Regal. I want you to go to Liberty Island and destroy the lab. Your team will be sent there as soon as their done here. Good luck, Regal out", he said as he cut the line.
"Let's see what Eggman's hiding", I thought as I dash at top speed for the small landmass.
As the Marines and warriors prepare to leave a swarm of blue orbs start to fill the sky." Plasma mortars, take cover", a private called out as they hide for the blue balls of death to rain down on them.
Several soldiers got burn to ashes while others got terribly burn head to toe."Shit sir. They must have zero in on us from the smoke. Sorry sir', the private said in short breath suffering from first degree burns.
"It's alright. I'll get you and everyone out of here"; Regal said as he face the young warriors" You kids got your own mission and we got ours", he said.
"You sure about that, Captain?" Arnold questioned as the captain look at them.
"Yeah and you should go to lady liberty. Your teammate is there. Good luck", he said as the two groups split up.
"You think they're going to be fine", Joey asked.
"They'll be fine", Arnold said with little concern in his voice.
I reach the landmark waiting for my team." Always slowpokes", I said as the others just arrive a few minutes later.
"Okay let's have a clean sweep of the island. Find that lab", Arnold said as we scoop the grounds for some secret entrance.
I look near the lady's foot to find a weird block out of its place."Odd", I press hard on it to reveal a lift." Guys I found it", I shouted as the others surround the elevator.
"Alright let's go", Arnold ordered as they got in the lift. I let out a big sigh.
"No one says thank you anymore", I said sounding a little upset by his rudeness. As we got on the lift to the lab, a figure on top of a skyscraper looks over the statue."So Elijah, what will you do? Fight your identity or for all you hold dear. Because after this your destiny has been set in place and it'll be the end for the light on this world", the hooded figure said as he vanishes in thin air.
Once the lift start climbing down, what I saw hit me pretty hard. There is a massive complex underneath the island. The others look the facility with the same amount of surprise."How can the United Nations miss something this big", Joey said in shock.
"That doesn't surprise me. Lately these so called leaders of the free world are getting so caught up by these useless wars in the Middle East that the strongest nation in the world can't notice shit under their doorstep", I scolded at our so called leaders as Arnold show me a look of spite.
"You have no loyalty to our new order of things", he scolded as I felt pretty mad at his arrogant, naïve views of the W.O.L.
"Like you give a crap about anyone but yourself", I said which strike a nerve at Arnold."Cat caught your tongue, fearless leader", I said sarcastically as the older boy seems to almost lose it until he cools himself down.
"You got some mouth you know that", he said feeling down but not out as the power to the lift got cut out.
"The hell is happening," Joey said as the elevator stop at the 11th floor.
"Damn. These metal bastards are sly ones alright", I keep clicking the reset button and nothing.
"So what now", Joey said dumbfounded as I pull my twin katanas from their sword holders at my sides.
"Simple", I drove my blades into the steel door with little resistance as my razor sharp blades tore a hole big enough for us to climb out of."Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out", I said as we head down the hall to the 20th floor."There is a Time portal down below, with it we can stop from doing anymore damage here by going to the main source", I said as we hit the 18th floor, a giant 15ft humanoid mech armed machine guns attached to its arms and missiles in its body. This mech is guarding the lift leading to the portal room.
"Foolish humans ready to be destroyed", it said as prepares to wipe us out of existence.
"Looks like this bot is ready for a fight", Jak said getting excited.
"Leave this one to me" I said as I pull out my katanas as I got into a combat stance facing my robotic foe.
The bot took aim spread laser fire my path. I roll under the laser barrage as I toss my swords like throwing knives to stab the arm of the machine stuck deep in the metal. I dash up to grab hold and slash the limb right off it.
The goliath mech back off as it fire missiles towards me homing on my position. I run the wall of the hallway for projectiles to beat up the sides with strong force. "Kendo strike", I jump off the wall to notice my opening as I swiftly chop the bot's head off in one clean move. The large robot went limp on the floor with a thud.
"That was amazing. How do you fight like that anyway?" Joey asked as I quickly make up a lie.
"The Internet", I said to cover up where I really got it from. A few minutes later we manage to get to the room."Yes we made it", I said as I pass out C-4 explosives to everyone." With these on the support beams, this whole area will collapse", we set the charges on the pillars
"Okay. Ready to execute", Jak said as I went up to the control panel and type in the coordinates 3238.
"Why are we going that far in the future?" Arnold said getting suspicious.
"We'll meet up with some old friends", I said getting excited at the thought of seeing them.
"Old friends, how the hell you got old pals", He said getting more suspicious and a bit angry.
"Let's just say I have connections in high places over the years", I said starting the portal up. The machine power up and a blue circle appear swirling around the device.
A large group of swatbots appear out the lift. "It's them, blast the humans", the robots fires their weapons at us as lasers just whiz pass our heads.
"You guys go. I'll catch up", I said as I fire my rifle at the horde to let them slip through the portal. I got about few dozen when my M16 click empty." Damnit", I cursed as I toss it at them." Well time to split", I said as I jump through the portal, not without a little surprise.
The same time I pass through the gateway the C-4 went out in a terrible explosion destroying the research labs leaving them worthless.
"Sir, they manage to escape", the robot reported to the commander.
"No worries. Lord Robotnik will take care of them personally", it said."Tell the Doctor there not here. We need to check planet Attalla."
All of a sudden the others and I appear in a vast desert in the middle of nowhere." Where the hell are we?!" the group shouted at me.
"Guys welcome to the far future. Planet Mobius 3238 AM [Age of Mobians]", I said to the surprised group.
"They are in the far future", Arnold said sounding like he can't believe. I ignore him to check the area.
"This looks like the desert surrounding Depo city. There are two options. 1, we can head for the city in the west or 2 we can go to the forest towards the southeast", I said.
"I suggest going to the city and gather information about eggman", Arnold said. I let out a sigh from his naïve command.
"You're in Eggman's backyard now. He's controlling 95% of the planet in this period of time", I said made Arnold feel a bit upset." I think I need to go alone to the great forest "; I said sounding very serious as the others felt confused.
"Come on. We can put aside our differences, we got to stick to together as a team", Arnold said trying to reason with me but it failed poorly.
"That is so rich, like you give a damn about teamwork. With you everyone gets the short end of the stick especially me", my insides just snapped at his lies." You all been neglecting my actions for the past few years and I tried of it. I'm leaving", I said as I head for the forest. This was the final straw putting up with this crap.
"Fine, we don't need you no more", Arnold said losing his last nerve.
"Hope I don't see your faces again", I said with no regret in my voice.
I headed southeast running at mach speed across the desert. I knew what I said was harsh but I have to be done. I was going to abandon the W.O.L. soon or later. Better soon, cannot take the lies anymore.
"Why now?" I asked myself as a giant sand worm emerges from sand dune. Its multi eyes looked dead at me as it drools from its giant maws." Looks like it wants lunch", I said as the worm roar a bellowing sound that echo throughout the sand trap." Then I must be the side dish", I said as it charge right at me." Here it comes".
I draw my blades to block its tail whip, the force of the attack knock me to the desert floor. I leap off the ground to slash at the worm's skin but it failed." It's thick. Try thrusting, Sword rain", I rapidly stab the worm's skin for blood to gushing from the wounds." Success", I jump on top of the worm's back stabbing at its back more blood leaking from its injuries. It yelps in agony as the worm roll back and forth trying to get me off.
I dig my blade into the back of the beast. Then with the other blade I kept slashing at the wounds making it howl in pain. The worm flips on its back to crush me. With my reflexes I manage to escape the crushing weight of the worm, its soft belly is now exposed" Now's my chance", I run up thrust my swords into the belly and tore a gaping hole in the flesh for a stream of blood to soak the sands." Time to take a dirt nap, Sword beam", I charge up my blades as I thrust in the direction of the beast for a solid ray of energy to shoot out to rip through the worm's mid section, the force of the attack split the beast in half. Blood seem to rain down as the two huge chucks of worm meat flop on the desert sands. "Its blood must be poison", I collapse on the sand with my chest burning like it is on fire. I fade from the pain into darkness.
"Where…. Am I" I said. I see nothing but darkness around me. Only thing visible was the platform I'm on." Okay what do you want now", I asked to thin air.
"It's about time you ditch those loser friends of yours. They didn't treat you with the upmost respect for you", the unknown said which sounds familiar.
"Yo Moses is that you?" I asked as he appears before me from the shadows.
Moses is about 25 years old who's about 6'3 tall. He has red spiky hair, brown skin tone, dark green eyes, and a thin build. He's wears a dark clothing underneath his black trench coat .Also he has a scar over his left eye.
"Looks like you remember me", he said with a smile as I give him a firm handshake as I shed a tear.
"You haven't changed a bit", I said as I almost shed more tears for my old friend and master.
Moses just laughed." You have not changed either", he said as he passes me a tissue for me to wipe my tears." Ok. Let's talk business", he said as we sit on the stain glass floor.
"I like what?" I asked with curiosity stirring up inside me.
"This planet used to be Earth. For the past several thousand years this world has changed. The humans are not the dominant specie on Mobius anymore. You see the humans are almost wipe clean by gene bombs drop by an alien force that wanted the earthlings to surrender because earthlings are not the most kind when it comes towards others," Moses looks pretty serious.
"Man, Moses. That's heavy. I'm one of the few humans left", I said as I feel sad at the massacre." So many lives lost."
"Well you're one of seven million earthlings left on Mobius. Now the moblans are the new dominant specie. The Mobians are animals that mutated from the genetic bombs and then they evolve with human behavior, emotions, and intelligence", the redhead said as he got up off the floor." Well time for me to split", he said as he simply disappears from sight.
"Where are you going?" I asked as my voice echo through the deep darkness.
"Don't worry we'll meet up soon but before I leave. I want to see your skills in battle. I call upon Tai dragon", he summon a mighty beast to test me. It soars through the dark space like the hot knife through butter. This dragon is large and strong with thin yet flexible wings, green in color, and triangular head with two yellow eyes on both sides and 30 feet tall. Its razor sharp fangs, claws and talons bare out as the flying beast prepare for an attack.
"Okay. Time to fight", I said as I whip out my katanas to get ready for battle. The beast burst a series of fireballs toward me as I evade the attacks with swift reflexes.
"Sword beam", I shot an energy beam from my blades to cut across its left wing damaging it. The dragon winces in pain as the blood ooze from the wounds.
The Tai dragon dive-bombs towards to the platform, trying to ram me to the ground. I toss the blade at its face for the weapon to pierce one of its eyes. It landed trying to pull the sword out, moaning in deep agony.
"Time to ground you, kendo strike", I use my remaining blade for me to jump high for its injured wing. With a swift powerful slash, I sever the large wing from its socket, and then I jump on its shoulder to leap off and grab hold of my weapon still impaled in its eye."Get ready for an open eye surgery, sonic thrust", I shove my other blade deep in its scales as I pull out my embedded sword and let loose a vicious thrust right through its eye.
As I leap off its eye pop out still stuck on my sword, the dragon winces in intense pain as blood splash on the stain glass floor. Despise its agony, the beast whip its claws at me in increase aggression as I dodge the claws the best I can but got caught. The dragon tries to crush my body.
I can feel the pressure from this beast's grip, I pull out my blade to stab the hand making it drop me as I counter by rapidly thrusting at its left leg causing it to bleed, then I upper slash the lower limb so hard that the skin rip off showing the damaged muscle. The battle took a huge toll on the dragon as it crouch to the floor in deep agony. "No more playing around. Use mystic flame", Moses voice echoed as the dragon raise its head to charge up huge amounts of red heat energy into its maul as it blast out a large beam of red energy aiming right for me.
"Sword beam", I shoot a beam of energy heading for the attack for the two beams to collide against each other, forcing one another with tough resistance until my beam is pushing back while the dragon is losing strength and focus on the beam. Then my beam finally cut through to strike the dragon's forehead busting the skull and destroying its brain, killing it instantly. The blood now stain the whole floor, the glass is now, a bright red.
My body is cover in the red liquid as I stare at the blackness. "Moses, how's that?" I asked as there is a still silence.
"You still got it. Take these as gifts." A pair of sleek katanas appear on the floor in there sheathes. Then a pair of gold rings with a blue gem and green gem on either one." These are mystic blades, sharpest swords known and are way better at using magic than your ordinary ones. Then these rings are the elemental rings, whoever is chosen by the rings can gain power over a certain element. This is wind, the green one and the water, the blue one" Moses said." I have a feeling your friends will make great use of them. Your time is short here, smell you later".
I start to gain consciousness as I appear inside a hospital room; I'm on a comfy bed with body covered in medical wrapping with a hospital gown over it. I feel sore all over my body," Damn, I was in a tough spot. How did I get here?" I asked feeling completely dumbfounded by who save me. I look around the room to spot a mobian sitting next to me lay her head on the edge of the bed. She looks familiar.
"Julie-Su, is that you!"I said as I try to wake her up. She slowly opens her eyes to see my face. She looks like she's about to break into tears.
"You're alive. Thank you, lady luck", she hugs me tightly as my body ache.
"Nice to see you too" she let out of me feeling a little embarrass" So it been along." I said.
Julie-Su is a pink echidna who's about 18 years old. She has violet eyes, pink dreadlocks hangs to her back, lean curvy figure, and 3'6 tall. She's wearing a Blue tank top, Black shorts, and brown combat boots. She's tough, sweet and caring.
"Yeah it, so how's life treating you?" she said noticing a sad look on my face making her feel sad herself.
"Aw like crap. I quit the team" I said feeling a little sad.
"Aw boy looks like life really screw you over" Julie-Su said feeling sympathetic." What are you going to do now" she said.
"I want to fight in the freedom fighters" I said with a bright tone.
"You sure you want to do this" she said as I nodded my head.
"I want to make a real difference for once and shape my own destiny" I said as Julie-Su look at my smile which made her see I am serious.
"I'll take that as a yes. In a few hours, gear up. We're going to attack Eggman's moon base. You can help us destroy it" she said as I nodded yes. She hugs me again in a tender way." Nice to have you back, EJ" she said.
She said my nickname, only my closest friends called me that" Glad to have you back, Jay" I said as Julie-Su seems surprise by what I said.
"You're sweet. You remember my nickname you gave me. Well I got to prepare. See you on the shuttle" She wave goodbye as she went out the door.
I feel really happy right now. My best friends came back and on a new adventure with no W.O.L. to ruin it. I'm on a team that respects and cares about me. I look around to see the mystic blades lying on top of the table and the two rings next to them. I like it this way so much better.
Within a few hours, I made a quick recovery and gather my things. Then I notice a light combat suit that can cover my whole body below my neck with a helmet that covers my entire head." Well my old armor got pretty beat up" I said as I notice a note from Jay.' This will be useful. Love Jay' it said." Thank Julie-Su" I thought as I try it on. Like a glove, hugs my thin frame perfectly and the helmet fits will too. I put the swords in there sheathes and at my sides. I put the rings in my pocket." Ready to go"
I went outside see the large space shuttle perch on the grass on the outskirts of the freedom fighters main base of operations Knothole City. "This place change in the past several months" I said as I race for the transport in no time flat. I see Julie-Su there waving at me.
"Over here" she said with a wide smile as I reach her and she gives me a hug." You look like a space knight in that" She said admiring my armor as I tap my metal covered foot to the dirt blushing under my visor.
"Thank you. You look good too" I said as she look embarrass as a fake cough interrupt our talk." Oh. Do you remember Jet the Hawk" she said as I look at the green bird.
"Yeah, I do. Hey what up Jet", I said giving him a handshake as he shows his big grin.
"Good to see you too. Need all the help we can get" he said as he opens the hatch of the spaceship.
Jet the hawk is a green hawk that's about 16 years old. He's has gold eyes, yellow bark, 3'4 tall, feathers in large strands along his head to his back and thin frame. He wears energy gloves and yellow hovershoes. Also wears goggles on his forehead. He's cool, playful and a bit immature.
We start to board the spacecraft as we got in our seats, the pilot fire up the engines and took off." Where's Sonic at?" Jet asked Julie-Su as she cleans her sawed-off shotgun.
"He went on ahead to scout the base" she replied as we break the atmosphere and head for the moon base. I look out the window to see the big blue sphere; I never get tired of witnessing this beautiful planet. For some reason, this planet is more naturally breathtaking than it was 7000 years ago maybe it was not polluted with 21st century inconvenience.
"Look alive. We're going in" the pilot said as we reach the moon, Eggman's base called in to view. It looked huge from here" This is a research lab. Report say there making a prototype in there of new starship. Taking the lab out will destroy the plans too. Two birds in one stone as they say" the pilot said as we reach the docking bay. Our shuttle land in dock 2-A. "Okay. Overloading the pulse generators will be enough to blow this place sky up." He said as the hatch open.
"Destroying a few generators, it'll be a piece of cake" Jet said as he charge up his energy gloves as we got out the spacecraft, we reach the door.
"Don't get cocky. You can end up dead in the next 5 minutes" She said as a panel appears alongside the door.
"Enter pass code" the computer said as Jet points his hand at the console to blast a beam of energy to open the door. The alarm went out; the hallways went red and sounds buzzing in all directions.
"Way to go, Jet. Our element of surprise went out the window. Let split up take on each generator" I said as we divide to go to each generator.
Julie-Su runs through the halls to face resistance as several squads of swatbots begin to fire at her. She ducks behind a crate for it to absorb the damage. She loaded flash bangs into the weapon fire twin shots to blast a bright flash to blind the whole group. She switches out from her shotgun to her laser SMGs in each hand sending out volleys of laser fire tearing up the tens of hundreds of grunts in their wake. The remaining bots stood up from the massacre as the female warrior whip a powerful kick to send a robot flying to a wall, scattering into pieces.
She loaded blast shells into her equipped shotgun to launch a twin shot to blow the robots into scrap metal."This area is secured. Jet you're up" She said on the comlink.
"Alright" Jet said as he cut out the radio as Jet charge up his gloves and shoes as he glides across the metal floor with several goliath mechs guard the generator. He let loose an energy ball to blast a hole in the large robot as it fell to the floor with an echoing thud.
"Get him" the mechs spray there machine guns as rains of lasers pepper the whole hallway.
"Shit, I hope this works, light shield" he put his in front of him to focus on an energy barrier to block the barrage. The shield worked successfully repelling the laser fire as he push front to get in striking distance." Here's goes nothing, light lash" he bend the energy shield and make it whip around to slash a nearby mech in half, then to rapidly rip through several of the others until they are all reduced to metal dust. "That's nuts. Okay this area is clear. Elijah it's your turn" Jet said through the radio,
"Copy that. Time to bust that generator" I said as I cut the line, I reach for a room to search for the generator. When I inspect the room, I realize what it is" It's a control room" I said as a lone chair sits in the middle of the room. Then I hear a laugh, a female laugh.
"Will. Will. Will. You must be Moses favorite buddy" She giggled as she confused me.
"Where is Eggman?" I asked as she turns around in her chair to face me as she show a bright smile.
"The doctor is not here nor is the generator. Only little old me, Amber" she said as she whip out her magic wand.
Amber is about 19 years old. She has blue eyes, dark long hair, pale skin tone, 5'7 tall and a skinny frame. She's wearing a white battle gown, a blue pointed hat, black heels and white gloves.
"Look I'm not playing Harry potter with you so get lost" I have a bad feeling about this girl.
"Let me show you what happens to people when you ally with a traitor, arctic barrage" she cast a large shower hard snowball from thin air to pepper the area I'm in as I evade out of the way. I see lots of dents in the metal.
"She must be that other one I fought at the desert world, time to get busy" I draw out my magical katana blades from their holders." Sky fang" I slash the air to release an energy crescent going at high speed for the ice magician.
She create a wall of ice to protect herself as she cast a beam of ice of the tip of her wand to aim right for me. I roll out of the beam's path but when it hit the floor an explosive force knock me off balance.
"Your mine, frozen blast" She cast a ball of cold energy to shot out in rapid speed. I put my blades in front to catch it trying to push it back.
"Eat this" I successfully push the spell back for to nail amber to make feel a little numb." Sword rain" I run up to the girl and unleash a barrage of sword stabs at intense speed to make her shed blood, her white dress is starting stain with red.
"I underestimated you. Not this time" She summon waves of ice spears ripping through the floor as dodge and chop down pillars with more replacing them by the second." You can't get close enough to hit me" She taunted.
"Watch me, strike raid" I toss my sword to smash through the spears of ice reach the magician to cut her arm and stab into a wall right behind her.
"You'll pay for that" she said as ice grip my feet as it start to rapidly cover my body." Say your do's, frozen damnation" an icy explosion engulf me intense pain surge through my whole body.
The armor took most of the blast but my body stings like hell. I collapse on the floor as approach me, staring down at my face.
"Moses is a joke to train someone like you to take us down" she laughed in my face saying my best friend is a joke. Then reaction I sever the woman's left hand to make her scream in agony.
"Bitch, no one talks about him like that when I'm around" I said in spite but I lay on the floor as blood leak out of her exposed wrist.
As amber raise her wand to blast me to death but a sudden rush of wind start to surround us as a blue blur knock into amber with such force that she crash into a wall leaving a huge dent in the metal.
"Damn. EJ, you look like you need some backup" a familiar voice said as I look up on a pillar to see a blue hedgehog.
"Sonic!" I cried in surprise as my friend appears to save the day as he shown his trademark grin.
Sonic is a blue hedgehog that's about 17 years old. He has green eyes, lean frame, 3'7 tall, and his quills are curved down to his back. He wears white gloves and red running shoes. He's friendly, impatient and sarcastic.
"Sorry I'm late. Try to find that last generator but I can't seem to find it" he said as he leaps off the pillar to land beside me.
"Can you take over? I need to rest" I said my muscles ache from exhaustion as sonic tap his foot on the steel ready to blast off.
"You deserve it. Hey bitch. I teach you lesson about messing with my best friends, homing attack" he charge after her as he curls up into a ball.
She got off the wall to summon a wall of ice to block Sonic advance" This is so not over" she lash out columns of Ice spears to appear out the ground as sonic launch himself off the ice wall to avoid the sharp floor." Time to kick it up a notch" he leap on a pillar with ninja like grace as he jumps one pillar at a time getting closing to Amber.
"Arctic barrage" she cast a mighty storm of hard snowballs to aim right for him. He swiftly hops on each snowball to get even closer to Amber.
"Got yeah, light speed dash" he rolls into a ball and rapidly pound on amber in lightning speed beating her to a bleeding heap." Give up or suffer the consequences" he said as she got up with her body pushing to the blink of death.
"I'm not going to die by some rodent. Arctic graveyard" She unleash a powerful wave of ice spears to surround her destroying everything in their path. She looks around to see no corpse impaled on the spears. Then she felt a hard chop across the back of her neck." Impossible" She said as she drop to the floor finally suffering from her fatal wounds.
"Well that's care of that" Sonic said as he picks me up." You alright" He said with concern as I nodded yes. I gain my strength back.
"The sores stop hurting. Let set this place a blaze" I said as I press a button to set the self-destruct on. "Come on. Let's get out of here" We race out to get to the shuttle in no time with everyone inside.
"Ok, guys let's move it" the pilot said as we jet through space with the engines pushing at max to escape as we hit halfway, we can feel a big shockwave as it rip apart the moon base." Damn that's an explosion. You guys did well out there. We're heading for Knothole in 10 minutes" he said as the blue planet called into view.
"That was intense out there" Jet said as he stretches his legs in front of him and his hands in the back of his head.
"You guys did great and Sonic thank you" I said as shake his hand.
"It was nothing. Glad to help. I heard you decide to join us" Sonic said.
"Yeah, I sticking with you guys now" I said as I slap Sonic a high five.
The spacecraft softly landed on the soil as the hatch opened up."This is where I take my leave. So long" the pilot said as we got off the craft. The shuttle zooms out of our sights.
"Once we get back, I treating us all to a 4 star buffet" Jet said as Sonic sucker punch him on the shoulder.
"You're on" they run for the buffet as I have a distracted look on my face, Julie-Su tip-toe to cup my face in her small yet strong hand.
"Are you okay?" She said her normally rough voice became tender and gentle all of a sudden. Her pretty purple eyes show deep worry.
"It's nothing. Just thinking" I said as she pulls me in a strong hug.
"If you need to talk at anytime, give me a call" Julie-Su said in a caring tone as she follows the others. I stare at the lake as the moon shines on the surface reflecting a white glow.
I was wondering how it will come out in the end but I feel that it's only the beginning of something terrible. I feel it will get worse, a whole lot worse here on out.
