Gathering of the Seven
Author's Note
For those of you who haven't watch the Nazo Unleashed flash animation by Chakra-X, or Sonic in general, I highly suggest that you do before reading any more of this. For those of you who have but not in a while, I suggest that you do the same. For those of you who know Sonic and Nazo by heart, keep reading this.
For those who know Nazo, we know that he was a villain. But from being born of all the negative energy of the Cyan Chaos Emerald. What if that were the case? What if he wasn't truly killed but returned to the Chaos Emerald he came from? What if, he was meant to be the good guy?
Nazo was in the Cyan Chaos Emerald longer than even Knuckles, longer than the great Echidna Clan. However, there are other spirits besides Nazo, and they live inside their own Chaos Emerald. "Who are these spirits?" you may ask. This will explain everything.
This will explain the breaking of Nazo and that there are more things than meets the eye of a natural person.
Long ago, right around the time of the creation of the Master Emerald and the seven Chaos Emeralds, eight spirits were said to be sealed inside these eight mystical gems. The spirits that were sealed inside the Chaos Emeralds were said to be the protectors of the seven elements: Water, Plant/Earth, Fire, Wind, Ice, Lightning and Cosmic. It was said that the spirits were to keep the seal of the Master Emerald strong enough so the Shadow wouldn't break free. If one of the spirits were to break out of their Chaos Emerald, then the seal of the Master Emerald were to get weaker and weaker until the spirit is back inside the Chaos Emerald. If the seal is weak enough, the Shadow of the Master Emerald will break out and the seven spirits will break out of the Chaos Emeralds.
Once out, the spirits of the Chaos Emeralds are vulnerable without a protector of Light with them. The spirits doesn't choose the protector, but the Chaos Emeralds do. Once the seven spirits are gathered, the protector unlocks his ultimate form and is able to seal back the Shadow of the Master Emerald back into his place. This has happened twice before prior to the story.
I respectfully do not Sonic and co. or Nazo, they belong to their rightful owners. I only own the OC's that are in here. Please enjoy this story for I will enjoy taking advice from all of you fellow readers and your comments.
Yours Truly, Mina-Nanto.
Prologue
The moon shined its fullest high over an altar as seven different pillars circled around a large, green crystal. A cyan hedgehog with five quills standing on end, green eyes, 'v' shaped spikes on his back and red and blue shoes, stood in front of the crystal. He eyed it intently, as if he was searching for something. After a while, he felt a hand land on his shoulder so he looked up to see who it was. A yellow feline with amber eyes, white tipped ears, blue tipped tail, gray clothing and boots, was standing next to him with concern in her eyes. "Are you okay?" She asked.
"No I'm not." The hedgehog snapped as he yanked the feline's hand off his shoulder. "I Can't be able to rest peacefully for some reason, and it's driving me crazy."
"Is it because of Sonic and Shadow?"
"I don't know. Most likely considering those pests put me back in this hell hole."
"Would you two keep it down? I would actually like to get some rest." A tired, but yet, irritated voice said.
"The two looked up to see a young silver wolf with blue eyes and white warriors clothing. It looked like that she just woke up and they could tell because her fur was all messed up. "Sorry Katrina, Nazo is having anger issues again." The cat said striking a nerve on the hedgehog. Nazo delivered an irritated glare and the cat returned with a tongue sticking out for three seconds.
"Yeah, that's really attractive Aurora." Katrina said.
"Are we all having fights ore sleep problems?" Neither of the three had to look up since they knew the voice right away.
"Sure, that's coming from someone who starts 99% of the fight." Nazo said to a red feline with orange markings and wore flame clothing.
"And that is coming from someone who wants a fight." The feline said.
"Want to say that again, flame-head?" Nazo asked in a threatening voice as he walked up to the feline.
"Will you two stop acting like a couple of bratty children?" Aurora said as she stepped in between the feline and hedgehog that looked like they were going to get at each other's throats. "Scorch that is enough. And you, hedgehog, better not try to attack when I remove myself from this spot."
"What in the name of Chaos is going on here?" A voice shouted. The four turned to face a deep blue hedgehog with sky blue eyes, a lighter blue vest, pants and boots. On his right was a emerald fox with jade eyes and plant-like clothing. On the left of the blue fox was a lavender and white wolf with royal purple eyes and white clothing. She was giving Nazo a really nasty glare that could kill.
"Nothing you need to worry about because it ended, River." Aurora answered.
"No one was asking you, Lightning Wielder." The emerald fox said.
"I suggest that you cool down Jade or I'll do that for you." Nazo threatened as his hands were glowing in an icy aura.
"Nazo now is not the time for that." The lavender wolf said calmly. "Right now, we have bigger problems to worry about."
"What do you mean by that, Mira?" Scorch asked.
"You remember how you broke out of the Chaos Emerald because you had so much negative energy many seasons ago, Nazo?"
"Something I will not forget." Nazo replied.
"Well it was because of that action that we have the bigger problem." River said, sharping Aurora's and Nazo's curiosity. "When you freed yourself, the seal of the Master Emerald was getting weaker. When those hedgehogs put you back in your place, the seal was to the point of its breaking. Now Raze will be able to break free of the Master Emerald and not even you will be able to stop him in your ultimate form."
It was then that a dark void appeared in front of the moon, creating darkness over the shrine. The void spread across the sky as a powerful gust came from the very center. The crystal was surrounded in a dark aura as it changed from green to purple. The crystal then split open, sending a black beam to the center of the void. A hedgehog figure flew out of the crystal and towards the void. Soon, the altar started to crumble and the creatures hovered in the air. They followed the hedgehog towards the void.
On Angel Island, things were much worse as the Master Emerald were shattered. Knuckles, Tikal and Chaos in their solid forms, were staring in horror as a dark beam shot up from the spot where the Master Emerald was suppose to be resting. The seven Chaos Emeralds circled around the beam and spirits were starting to alternate from appearing to disappearing and appearing again. Then suddenly, a wave sent the Chaos Emeralds in all directions and a hedge-hog hopped out of the beam. He looked directly at the two echidna's and the God of Destruction, sending chills down the trio's spines.
"Well, this is a surprise." The hedgehog said. He had nine quills, five sticking up and four hanging down behind his back, purple streaks down the five quills and eyes, black clothing with purple symbols, and purple boots with a single white stripe. "I expected more echidnas, but they did die out when a certain someone couldn't control his temper."
"Alright, how the hell did you manage to break free of your damn cell?" Knuckles asked. As he got ready to fight the hedgehog.
"You mean to tell me that your ancestors didn't tell you about the legends of the Master Emerald and the Chaos Emeralds? Wow, some kind of Guardian you turned out to be."
"What was that?"
"Knuckles, please calm down." Tikal urged Knuckles. "Let Chaos take care of this, we have to get out of here before it gets way out of hand for us."
"You're not going anywhere, Tikal!" The hedgehog said as he gathered energy to his hand. He formed a spear out of the energy and tossed it towards the ancient echidna.
Before the echidna could do anything, the spear hit her in the chest but it didn't go through her. However, blood was still leaking out from where the spear hit. Chaos and Knuckles rushed to her side. Knuckles pulled out the spear and Chaos used his healing abilities to stop the bleeding. Thankfully, the spear wasn't close to the heart or she would've died instantly from that.
"Who the hell are you?" Knuckles questioned.
"I think that it's better to keep that a little secret. For now, you three are what I need to complete phase one of my plan." The hedgehog said as he glowed in a purple-black aura.
Suddenly, the environment on Angel Island changed and it disappeared in a black sphere. Down on Mystic Ruins, one of the spirits from the Chaos Emeralds was watching the entire scene, but she couldn't be able to anything to stop the hedgehog. This is bad, this is very bad. She thought. If Raze has taken them and Angel Island to that one place, then Tikal and Chaos will be wiped out from existence and Knuckles will lose his life without telling anyone who the heir to protecting the Master Emerald is.
The spirit was very weak and was nearly out of chaos energy. She then ran in a direction that seemed like Station Square as dark clouds covered the area in which Angel Island used to be. If my theory is correct, then one of Knuckles' friends is in that city, I just hope that they can help me find the other protectors.
