Espia; Hey peeps! Chap. 1 here!
Crescent; Espia & Dawn don't own Sonic & Co.! Only the plot, & me & my friends!
Dawn; *giggles* Don't forget the bad guys! Oh...next chapter will be sooooooo fun!
Sam; Uh...Isn't that the one with Am-
Espia; NO SPOILERS SAM! Though that chapter was insanely fun to write ^_^
Dawn; Anywho, this chapter's kinda short. It would be a part of the prologue, but the prologue got too long XD. So, somewhat short chapter 1.
Espia; Fun starts next chapter! And translations for the language 'Mohade' (the crazy words you've been seeing in the ( ) w/ English words inside them) stop too, but only for those chapters.
Crescent; Oh, review! We wanna thank 'ABSOselfRBED' for the review! Well, all those characters were there simply because it's our base. The 4 of us aren't going to be the only fighters at base. Don't worry – besides the main Sonic Cast, you only have to remember myself (Crescent), Grey, Sam, Aqua, and possibly Aaron. Aaron's not too important though, besides creating the whole traveling-through-dimensions-device thingy.
As I stood next to Aqua, a silent tear fell from my cheek. Turning around, I thought No going back. Keep moving ahead. Keep going, and you'll make it through anything.
Looking at Grey, Aqua, and Sam, and whispered "We have to go. We have allies to find." With a single glance, we all turned around and headed back inside. Time was still frozen, but not for long. Heading straight for the portal to a world unknown, Sam swiftly stepped inside without hesitation, or even a glance back. Though, I could swear I saw a small tear in his eye; his friends were very important to him, and it was hard to leave. Even if he didn't want to show it. Grey vanished into the portal next, after glancing back once.
Leaving me and Aqua with roughly 20 seconds till time, and our foes, unfroze. With a deep breath, Aqua headed towards the portal. Just before she stepped inside though, time unfroze. Both of us stopped in horror. Time unfreezing = thousands of monsters unfreezing = we are soooooooooooo screwed. Pushing Aqua towards the portal, I shouted "GO!" Unsheathing dusoma, I blocked the monsters from our portal. I had to buy her enough time. I could jump in after, and then the portal would close within seconds. Hopefully, the monsters and their leader wouldn't follow.
After a second of hesitation at leaving me to fight the monsters alone, Aqua nodded. Holding out her hand, she summoned several water/energy orbs and shot them full-force at the foes in front of me. With a quick nod of thanks, I fell upon the stunned enemy, slashing away. After she jumped into the portal, I cleared my way towards it. I fought through wave upon wave of my foes, using my special 'Dark Wave' when needed. (A/N. Dark Wave is a special attack that uses the Orb of Darkness's energy combined with dusoma)
Eventually, I reached the side of the machine. Looking down, I spotted the three Orbs giving the portal power. Glancing back, and seeing the advancing blood-red, seething Shibibania charge at me, I snatched them from their holders. The portal could last a few minutes without them, but only just.
Swiftly, with the three Orbs in hand, I jumped around to the portal's face. Shibibania had almost reached me. Not good not good not goo- argh!
A monster had grabbed onto my ankle the second I had leaped. So, naturally, I was face down on the floor, with a giant army of monsters that wanted to kill me right there. So, in response, I flipped myself around and unsheathed dusoma at the same time. At least, I tried to. Giant, angry army leaders tend to get in the way of a lone heroine.
"You," he rasped – strange, his voice had been so strong before – "are not going anywhere soon."
"That," I growled back," is what you think!" Of course, I emphasized my point with a sword thrust on the word 'you'. Lucky for me; he hadn't been expecting it. Bad for me; angry beast trying to kill me just got injured by me, and is now seriously pissed off. Crap?
One angry roar later, I was dashing around in a circle, for my life. Glancing left as I passed it, I knew I had only seconds before the portal was gone. One circle later, I desperately jumped to the left at an extreme angle. I ripped my face from the sight of the angry, violet/red eyes of Shibibania to be greeting by a swirly, blue/grey field of light.
"Not today, Shibian. Not today," I whispered as the portal's light consumed me.
Espia; Well, that was entertaining.
Crescent; Not for me! My Garda, Dawn! How'd you let her write that!
Dawn; Uh…*backs away slowly while whistling inconspicuously* (Oh my Garda I spelled that right?
Crescent; No way…you DIDN'T…
Grey; Err…Did ah…anyone else think this could've ended badly?
Espia; Oh shut up Grey. You just wanna protect you girlfri-
Grey & Crescent; We're not- She's/I'm not- He's/I'm not-
Dawn; *Sigh* Well, whatevs. Please review! Or Espia'll get, uh…angry. Let's go with that.
Sam; Oh and anyone wondering- 'Oh my Garda' is a replacement for 'OMG' and such. It's an inside joke.
Sam; When Crescent says 'Shibian', she's referring to 'Shibibania', that's just her nickname for him. It is definitely not our lovely authoress/editoress's laziness.
