Chapter 2: Heroes Reunited
Within the Ghost Zone, Danny and Shadow returned to Clockwork's lair. "You ready Shadow?" Danny asked.
Shadow just nodded his as the two just walked into a large chamber with a green light. Within the room were about fourteen people waiting. "Hey look guys it's Shadow!" a familiar voice said as everyone turned to face Shadow and Danny, while Sonic and Knuckles came face to face with Shadow. "It's good to see you again buddy," Sonic said.
"Same here Shadow," Knuckles said.
"Yeah it's good to see you all again. But who are they?" Shadow as he looked at the others in the room, "I can only recognize four people; Dante,"
"Good, at least you remembered me," Dante said wearing a red vest with a black long sleeved shirt with red jeans. And his sword, the Force Edge, and his guns strapped to his back.
"Samus,"
"Yeah I knew you had to recognize me, since I'm still look the same," Samus said in her zero suit.
"Vegeta and Goku,"
"Yeah, me and Vegeta still looked the same," Goku said in his standard orange fighting cloths, and Vegeta still in his dark blue suit.
"As for the others, I don't know who they are," Shadow said.
"Well it's been two years and some of us did change," a blond hair teen said as he wore a red tunic with black worn underneath and he had gold armor, gantlets, and boots, and he also had a sword and shield on his back. "I am Link, king of Hyrule" (A/N: Think of Link in his Magic armor without the hat from Twilight Princess.)
"I'm Sora," he said in a black leather jacket with a white undershirt and regular jeans and he didn't have the spiky hair any more, instead he let his hair grow to near shoulder length. "And this is Riku," he introduced Riku who was wearing a black coat with metal shoulder pads, he was also wearing a black vest and pants as well, but his hair was the same as it was two years ago.
"I'm Cloud," he introduced in the same outfit that he had only with shorted hair.
"I'm Squall," he said in the same outfit only he had longer hair tied in a ponytail.
"I'm Goten," he said in an orange fighting outfit with blue clothing underneath and regular length hair.
"I'm Trunks," he said in a black sleeveless shirt with regular jeans he also had a sword strapped to his back, he had a slightly longer hair.
"And I'm Ben," he said in a denim vest with a white undershirt and brown cargo pants, he also had shorter brown hair.
"It's good to see you all," Danny said.
"Same here," Shadow said.
"Good you all remember each other," Clockwork said as he appeared from a blue flame, "Now we can tell what's going on."
"We?" Link asked.
Soon in a small blue light Luther appear, "Yes we."
And in a miniature sand storm Kaileena appeared, "We're in charge of what's going on," she said.
"Hold on, why is Luther here?" Cloud asked, "Wasn't he with Black Doom two years ago?"
"True I was with Black Doom two years ago. But I was a spy sent by Soa to make sure Melbu Frahma doesn't get out, and if he did I had to help seal him up again," Luther explained.
"A likely story," Squall said.
"Don't worry about him. We should focus on why we brought you all here," Clockwork said.
"So why did you bring us here?" Ben asked.
"Well not that long ago a small town population died within an hour," Clockwork started.
"Yeah I've heard of that in my universe," Sonic stated, " And the news crew and the police died as well."
"Yes, by a mysterious man," Clockwork said," we don't know who he is or where he came from. He just appeared."
"We also checked every single file that Luther had on every person who ever existed though out time and there was no one like him," Kaileena added.
"Because of that, he's started to become a threat to the gods," Luther explained.
"That man even sent this message," Clockwork said as one of the clocks started to show the message.
It showed the man in the shadows with a big purple skin man also in the shadows and they couldn't see thier face, "Oh great gods," he started, "This is a message to all living things. What you have done to me cannot be forgiven. Your sins will cost you your lives. A war which you cannot win. To cleanse the universe from sinful. As you'll be wiped out from your thrones, as I use the very thing that started life to have all living things join me in death. In everlasting peace. The first attack starts tomorrow."
After the message was over, everyone was creep out at the message, "Whoa, that's just creepy," Ben said.
"Yeah, and I've been in hell before," Dante stated.
But for Sonic, he was surprise, 'It can't be. I sealed him away along time ago.'
"What's wrong Sonic?" Knuckles asked.
"Sorry it's nothing," Sonic lied, 'How did Erazor get out?'
"Well from that message those two attacked hell," Clockwork said.
"Why would he do that?" Riku asked.
"Well he went to hell and brought back the most dangerous villains and he also got the legendary sword of hell, So'unga. But it seems he also took three people who are still alive though," Clockwork finished.
"So you want us to chase this man down and stop him?" Shadow said.
"Yes," Clockwork said, "That man can do Chaos Control as well, so he'll be sending different villains to different universes. With Soa's help we'll send different groups of twos but some of you will be alone, or you might have a group of three."
"So do you know where they are going?" Danny asked.
"Well from the villains he brought back, we can guess where they are going," Kaileena answered.
"So shall we start this new adventure," Shadow said.
"Alright then, good luck everyone and let Soa watch over you," Clockwork said as a bright green light engulfed the room and everyone, except Clockwork, Kialeena, and Luther, were off to fight this new threat.
A/N: Well second chapter up and next will start the universal adventure to defeat the villains. And I hpoe you like the ideas of what some of the characters look like after two years.
