Sonic Blitz: Order to Chaos

A/N: Some of you probably thought I gave up here and moved on since high school started for me, or some may have thought that this being posted up meant I gave up on yet another idea. But what really happened was two things. One, as some of you may not know, my parents have banned me from the site since my novel project got into full swing. I'm sneaking on for this last story, but I may not be able to update often due to this. They also banned me for a big reason, but only those close to me here will know about it for privacy reasons. Two, my computer completely lose all of its data in a huge crash, resulting in me losing everything on my current series, and God knows I wasn't writing that up again.

So I decided just to do this one last project before my 2 year anniversary when I plan to leave this wonderful place. It's gonna have loads of action, but unlike my other stories where action was mainly prominent my writing style has evolved so it will also have romance, tragedy, comedy, and more. So without further ado here's my greatest Dark Maelstrom project yet, Order to Chaos.

Chapter 1: Emerging Order

Location: Tails' Workshop

"Focus Sonic, focus," a deep and calm voice ordered.

"I'm trying, I'm trying," Sonic gritted, holding the jade chaos emerald in his hands. Waves of expanding energy released from the emerald and Sonic, who was surrounded by the green aura. He breathe in and out as calmly as he could despite the powerful energies around him threatening to spiral out of his control. "You're the Ultimate Life Form; for everyone else this is a hell of a lot harder."

"That's true, but Knuckles can do it, and truth be told you have just as much potential if not more than him. After all, you achieved the Super form way before the rest of us did, even me," the ebony furred and crimson streaked hedgehog responded. "Just focus, allow your chaos energies to flow in and become one with the emerald's."

"Alright," was all Sonic said before closing his eyes and controlling his slow breathing, the two energies becoming a rhythm that slowly synchronized.

The energies began to flow within one another, and Sonic could finally feel them becoming one, despite their turbulent state. It seemed as if he would finally get it. But then, all of a sudden visions of white and black flames shot through his mind, causing him to yell out without realizing it. He saw visions of destruction, chaos, and slaughter in a flash that lasted less than second, and he felt as if his body was being burned alive the core of the sun. And then all at once it faded, only leaving behind the lingering fatigue and agony of his vision.

The energy exploded and sent Sonic flying backwards in a heap, tumbling across the ground before he hit a rock that jutted out of the rocky flat below him. Shadow grabbed the chaos emerald from him and walked past without sparing him a passing glance.

"You're getting better at this," Shadow admitted. "A few more practices and you'll be okay enough in controlling chaos energy so that you'll be able to use it in combat...at least at an average level."

Sonic thought about what he saw and was going to tell Shadow about it, but he realized it was probably a figment of his imagination. By the time he got up again all he saw was a bright flash of light green-Shadow was already gone.

"See you too Shadow," Sonic commented sarcastically before looking towards a cavern in the mountains.

He raced for it at supersonic speeds, going through the twisting caverns before emerging at a small pond like water area in the middle of the caves, with an opening at the top which peered up into the vibrant and calm evening sky. Smirking, he held out his hand and concentrated as streams of blue energy all concentrated to a single point within his grasp. All the way back at the workshop, the soft tremors and bursts of azure flying up into the sky from Sonic's hidden training could still be witnessed.

Amy looked at the bursts of blue calmly with a smile on her face as she sat on the rocks by the water, knowing what Sonic was doing. She was actually quite shocked by his decision earlier on in the day. When she finally gathered the courage to ask him on a date, for the first time he said yes without hesitation. She didn't know what decisions he made, or why he suddenly took a real interest in her, but the smile on her face couldn't possibly wear off. Tomorrow would be her first real date with Sonic, and nothing could ruin her mood.

"Except for one thing..." Amy murmured softly. As she turned back towards the ocean she opened a letter she had previously hidden in her quills and opened it, reading over the contents inside once again with a worried and slightly sad glance.

Hey Ames, how's it going? I know it's been a long time since you heard from me, and I can understand that you may feel some anger towards me. But there were things I had to do for everyone's good, and I will see you soon. But be sure that when I come there is protection, as there are powerful forces that want me dead. But I won't let that happen. I have to see you again and protect you, no matter what. So hang on-I'll be there in no time.

-Gemini

"Brother...what did you really get yourself into?" Amy questioned, staring at the sunset.

As the sun finally faded behind the horizon, she wondered if the dying light represented her hope to see him again. The message he sent was from a week ago; how long did it take a man with his riches to get to Mystic Ruins? As she got up spots of a darker shade appeared all over the bottom of her dress and her legs due to the spray of the water, and she put the letter back into her quills before leaping back onto solid land and heading back up to the workshop.

She would have to put her worries behind her for now. She just had to fake a smile to her friends and wait for tomorrow. After all, she has been waiting years for what was coming tomorrow, and she couldn't let anything get in the way of it.

If only she knew what her dear brother Gemini was truly going through.

Location: Angel Island

Knuckles didn't even know what happened. He was sitting there with Rouge on the stairs of the Master Emerald altar, thew two joking about which one of them deserved the emerald more. Their relationship began to evolve greatly over the last few months of complete peace since the Dark Gaia incident. It was no longer a heated rivalry but more of a normal friendship...well, at least as normal of a friendship as these two heroes could possibly achieve.

But then, as they were sitting there, Knuckles suddenly felt a powerful presence wash over him, and he could tell that Rouge could feel it as well. The air rippled with chaos energy and force itself upon the whole altar, causing it to vibrate. When it was finally done waves of pure cyan chaos washed over the area, and from where it originated right next to the Master Emerald was the God of Destruction and the Guardian of Chao, Chaos. His liquid water like form stood tense and ready for battle, his bright emerald eyes glowing with power.

"Whoa...what on earth is he doing here?" Rouge questioned, standing up in an instant.

"I don't know, but he's usually here when great threats of destruction arise or when the chao are in danger. But why now? There's nothing here with higher chaos energy than me, you, or him," Knuckles questioned.

There is, but you can't sense it, Chaos' booming voice echoed in the two treasure hunters' heads. We're not alone. There's something coming.

"What are you talking about? I can't sense a thing," Knuckles was about to say, but then he peered into the forest, and found a figure staring at him through the trees.

It was still daylight due to the height of the echidna's last traces of civilization, and though nothing about the figure could be seen besides the fact that was clad in some sort of hooded robe. The figure stood on one of the tree branches within the darkness and shadows, peering down at the shrine in the middle of the valley. Knuckles and Rouge also moved into fighting positions, but despite the threat the figure just stood there, looking at the group and the area with interest before settling his gaze on the Master Emerald.

"What do you want?" Knuckles asked angrily. "Show yourself!"

"He doesn't have to," Chaos said plainly. "I'll finish him anyhow."

Knuckles looked at Chaos with interest, who began to move his hands in rapid, unpredictable movement in the air in front of him. Waves of powerful chaos energy began to form in the air around him seen as specks of light blue, and then water began to form out of the very moisture in the air. Chaos then held his long arms in a cross as the water collected into large pressurized mass before unleashing the water in a loose, spiraling drill of powerful force. The mass rushed into the tress and exploded, sending a powerful spray of water everywhere.

The tress shook and the wind blew, and the cloud of dust shot up into the air. When it finally died down the trees were destroyed and the leaves fell through the air unceremoniously. The entire area was destroyed, but the figure was gone-not a single trace left behind. The three relaxed, and Chaos released the concentrated energy that he summoned to his will.

"Did you get him?" Knuckles asked.

"That was some serious damage," Rouge nodded.

He got away, Chaos communicated with regret. But this isn't over yet. The Master Emerald has been feeling many disturbances over the past few months, and I think this figure is connected. He will be back.

"What can we do next time?" Rouge wondered. "If the figure was able to avoid your attack without a trace, then if there's more disturbances like him how will we stand a chance and protect the Master Emerald?"

I will join you and we need to go and help your hero allies, Chaos commanded. Something is coming and it's not just a threat to the chao. It could be a threat to much more than you can imagine.

"Finally, there's an adventure!" Knuckles exclaimed. "Eggman pretty much disappeared off the map since the whole Dark Gaia thing, and we really do need something to happen around here."

It is true, but beware of the challenge ahead, Chaos advised, holding his hand out to the Master Emerald as it shrunk to the size of a Chaos Emerald and floated into Knuckles' quills. I have a feeling that this threat will be far greater from the others. Take the Master Emerald with you, if we're traveling with your friends it will still be easy to safeguard it.

"Got it. We're ready," Rouge confirmed.

Chaos merely nodded and called upon the powers of chaos bestowed within his god like being. And with a subconsciously guided Chaos Control they vanished in a flash of green light and shot through time and space to their destination.

Location: Green Forest

The hooded figure walked through the mutated, corrupted undergrowth of the Green Forest. The island was left ravaged after Shadow, Rouge, and Eggman blew it up so long ago, only leaving behind malfunctioning robots that destroyed anything in their path, regardless of alliance. The light from the full moon above shined down through the toxic spores that hung over the area like a barrier to the outside world. The hooded figure dashed through the sickly yellow trees, weaving his through the plant life. Adrenaline pumped through his veins as he ran off the edge of the clearing and descended into the forest below, maneuvering out of the way for the rivers of molten waste.

The cloaked being rolled to absorb the shock of the fall and continued running, but before he go much further fatigue caught up to him and he eventually slowed to a halt within a clear were there were less of the abnormally pale yellow trees. The figure's cloak was almost completely white, save for the black bolts that ran across the limbs and down the middle, ending in rims full of the same black bolts. The hood was also outlined with the black as well, and though the moonlight should have revealed some of the figure's face, at least the eyes, the face within the hood was incredibly dark, as if some other force was keeping the identity concealed. He also had on white gloves and boots with black cuffs and lines going down them.

"She's not much farther," the cloaked figure told himself in a slightly tense voice. "Just a little more, and I'll be with people who will keep me safe."

The cloaked figure continued to breathe in sharply, as if he had running for hours. He leaned up against the tree for a while and looked up at the bright moon. Despite this light his face was still not revealed, and his hood defied the laws of gravity by not falling off. He sat there until his breathing became regular before standing up completely and continuing to walk. But before he could get far a hot white portal with a black outline appeared behind him and a figure with the exact same attire as him stepped out-he was a just a big taller and bulkier and had two white sheaths in a diagonal cross strapped to his back.

"So this is really what you want?" the other figure questioned, almost in an angry tone. "You want to lose everything you joined for, all of your friends, just for her?"

"You wouldn't understand," the figure argued. "How did you find me, anyway?"

"It's hard not to find you-have you forgotten how long we've been friends, Gemini?" the other figure snapped back angrily. "Everyone thinks no one else understand what they're thinking-their own brand of justice. It's pathetic and sickening. I hate it."

"You saw what they did to her, Aersus!" Gemini yelled angrily. "And yet you still stand by them! You know its wrong! You have no right to talk about the terms of justice with ME!"

"She was just one of them-even He said that she served only a temporary purpose," Aersus argued. "You knew that from the beginning. Do you even realize what they will do to you if you leave now? They will hunt you with all of their forces to the ends of the Earth and kill you dead."

"No one there would miss me," Gemini snapped back. "The only two people that would aren't in Ragnarok. One is the exact opposite of what you guys are now. And the other you helped to kill!"

"Shut up!" Aersus shouted, pulling off his hood. Waves of chaos energy shot through the air from him as his presence was revealed. Light blue fur covered the jackal's face, with small streaks of white fur surrounding his eyes, mouth, cheeks, and ears. "I hate you...I hate you so much! What do you even care about anymore?"

"Do your job, Aersus," Gemini said, this time more calmly as he took off his hood. Deep rosy fur covered his face, while jet black flame like pieces of fur went all across his face randomly. He had a very pale muzzle, a short nose, and gold sunglass that he had placed on his forehead and away from his eyes, which were a sharp amber. "You were sent here to kill me, so do it."

"You could turn back now, Gemini," Aersus said weakly. "You could easily pull off an excuse and go right back. If you don't and defect to these other people you know, there will be no return."

"Fight," Gemini said flatly. His point was made.

Aersus hesitated, but as Gemini leaped at him he put both hands back and pulled both large swords out of their sheaths, revealing long and elegant golden swords that had a sharp side but appeared to be more for crushing that cutting due to their unique inwardly curved shape. A semi circle flat side laid where the point would be on a regular sword, a green sphere sitting in the middle of each semi circle. Both swords had white guard and hilts to match the sheaths, and were of impressive size, each almost as long and him and about half as big.

"You're going to regret this, Gemini," Aersus said quietly to himself as Gemini was within a few feet of him. He spun around quickly with both swords out, lashing out with a powerful shock wave that blasted out like a ring from him. "You're wrong. Three people would miss you and one would be from Ragnarok. I would."

The echo of the clash could be heard across the forest. The battle had begun.

To Be Continued...
