Sup guys? Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about Sonic. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Sonic, Sega, and a few others do.
(The Twilight Cage. Nocturne.)
The Zoah, Kron, N'rrgal, Voxai…. None of them would dare to attack the fortress of the Nocturne Clan….
But to Eclipse, he was stupid or brave… Or both, the High Praetorian launched a roundhouse kick which sent the girl he was fighting sliding back.
Said girl was someone Eclipse knew and respected…. Precurator Shade.
Behind him was a squad of Praetorians, all of which were guarding the throne room…. Before Eclipse had knocked them out.
He wished he had brought more soldiers with him, but he had sent them to carry out the backup plan in case he had failed.
"Out of all of us… You turned?"
Shade asked as Eclipse tossed his Leech Blade to his left hand as he fired the cannon on his right, Shade blocked the bolt with her leech blade, it slammed into the wall as she charged Eclipse, he parried the hit with his Leech Blade.
"I only turned because I know what Ix wants…. I don't wish for this, Shade…."
Eclipse responded, the door opened and a squad of Velite and a few Praetorians rushed in, Eclipse turned to face the soldiers before activating his Warp Belt.
Shade lunged at him but wasn't able to stop him as the other Nocturne soldiers swept the room.
Shade sighed, she had to get the Emeralds now or they would never return.
(Mystic Ruins.)
A month at most if he believed the rumors of the warp belt…. But he couldn't tell if Ix told another lie or not.
He looked down from the hill he was standing on, 4 of his Velites were taking care of the fight they had been in.
One of the Nocturnus Rebels slashed the Swatbot with his Leech Blade as another knocked it down, the other 2 ripped the head off another Swatbot at the machine crashed to the ground.
2 Princeps, the more experienced and Elite Nocturnus troops emerged as Eclipse slid down the hill and landed in front of the 6 Rebels.
They snapped to attention as Eclipse pressed a button on his wrist, exposing his face.
His skin was somewhat darkish red, but not entirely sunburnt like, his 8 dreads were tied up, part of tradition and to aid in combat before their armor was manufactured, each had a small amount of white on the end.
His cyan eyes looked at the rebels as he took a moment to breath before lowering his helmet again.
"Report."
He ordered and one of the Velites stepped forward to speak.
"Most of Ix's loyalists have taken the ruins…. We located one of the Emeralds…."
The Echidna said as he dropped the Blue gem into his commander's palm and stepped back.
Eclipse placed the gem in a slot on his armor, he knew he was fighting a losing war, their clan was more like an empire. Ix had thousands if not millions of soldiers in his army and while Eclipse had a few dozen Rebels, they weren't going to beat Ix with direct warfare.
"I won't ask how you got this right now, there are more important things at hand…. We need to find a way to get our Warp Belts repaired… If we can resist Ix and his forces till their warp belts break, then we will have won this war for now…"
Eclipse said as they heard a ding, there was a vehicle, a train departing.
"We move out now, we need to make sure Ix doesn't discover how many there is of us."
Eclipse said as he turned and rushed off, his Rebels followed as he flipped onto the train as his men did as well, the train carried the seven Nocturnus out as Eclipse looked at the Chaos Emerald.
He didn't want to know how his troops had captured the Gem, to him, it didn't entirely matter. Ix had been trying to capture all of the Emeralds, if his men had captured one, then that meant they had fought a battle with their loyalist brother and sisters.
"What then?"
One of the Velites asked as Eclipse turned to face the soldier as the train sped through the tracks.
"Then we try and counter their moves…. I will bring our clan back… But we will not conquer this planet to do so…. Shade is the biggest problem we have right now… But leave her to me… Just conserve your energy and be ready for the next battle."
Eclipse said as the soldier nodded, he sighed in annoyance, he didn't want to deal with Shade, it would pain him to do so.
But she was part of Ix's loyalists at the moment, he had to stop them before their plan was wrought.
He turned and looked at the rest of the unit he had sent to the ruins…. He would meet up with another unit and then they would all gather.
Author Notes
Phew, first chapter done! Yes, I know it isn't a longer chapter, those aren't something I'm good at with first chapters. As for Eclipse? I will explain him more next chapter, I really do love Sonic Chronicles. Next chapter will see Eclipse and his troops meet Tails and Sonic and will be on Friday. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
