Hello reader! Part 2 here! Read and review!
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
The Creator's voice flowed through the minds of every living thing on the world. They seemed to all understand what he had told them, but many of them had doubts. Some, like Fox McCloud, had heard of these "Great Old Ones", and immediately knew the danger they posed on the Creator's world. McCloud, along with the rest of his crew, lived at the outskirts of the Great City, in their ship, the Great Fox, which had been modified into a home on the surface.
Others, like Ash Ketchum, had difficulty understanding what the Creator was talking about. To the young Pokemon trainer, who had still yet to understand puberty, "Great Old Ones" were not things he had heard of him.
And even more, like Godzilla, the great kaiju, did not exactly know what the Creator had told him, but he had a feeling he would be needed to defend this world. The huge monster waited, swimming underneath the vast sea that was beside the Great City, until he would be called upon to emerge.
And finally, there were those, like Mandark, Dexter's ever present rival, who doubted the words of the Creator. In his twisted mind, Mandark believed that the utter thought of the Great Old Ones, alien beings whom he had even studied through old texts and hieroglyphs, was absurd. But this was nothing new, because Mandark had always despised the Creator, mostly due to the fact he felt that he felt hated, by almost everyone in Great City.
Sonic scratched his head after hearing this sudden message from the Creator. Beside him, Amy wondered also what exactly he had meant.
"What do you suppose are "Great Old Ones?" the blue hedgehog asked Amy, who shrugged, and was obviously just as confused as he was. This was how the Creator was always like. Very discrete and never clear with whatever he said. But no one had actually seen or spoken to the Creator. He never made himself shown. Ever. Sonic kind of hated that.
"I don't understand", Amy said, her green eyes full of confusion, "What is this guy talking about? What does this Creator mean when he says "all you know will be gone forever in their wake?" Amy looked scared, at least from Sonic's point of view. As much as he never wanted to admit it, he did in fact have something for the girl, whether he wanted to admit to anyone or not.
"That's what I'd like to know…." Sonic replied, still wondering what the heck was going on. From across the street, the two hedgehogs, along with the three Rowdy Ruff boys behind them, watched as various people they knew gathered. A podium had been set up, and they could see a tiny figure getting up on it.
Sonic and Amy, along with Brick, Boomer and Butch, who nervously seemed to be tagging along behind them, approached the area where everyone had been gathering.
Edd, Ed and Eddy were close to the back, each boy sucking on jaw breakers as they waited for whatever was happening to begin. Sonic admired their carefree attitudes, especially that of Ed. On the other hand, Sonic had still not forgiven Eddy for the time in which he tried to swindle Tails out of a Chaos Emerald.
Also in the crowd, Sonic could spot more familiar faces. Jack, or more known as Samurai Jack, stood silently, his hand on his sword, as if ready to strike at anything at any moment. Brick, which, with his 6 year-old mind, understood little of what the Creator had said, but suspected Jack knew. He had always been a fan of Jack.
The red-eyed boy tugged on Jack's sleeve as he stood beside him in the crowd, hoping that the samurai wouldn't cut his head off in response. He merely looked down, his expression a bit serious, but acknowledging Brick as he spoke.
"You wouldn't happen to know what this is all about, would you, Jack?" Brick asked, as innocently as he could muster. The samurai looked right into Brick's eyes, answering his question in a serious yet calm tone.
"I would like to know that myself. It seems we are about to find out." Jack said, pointing at the podium at the front, where Dexter was, waiting for the crowd to be at attention. They began to quiet, and the Rowdy Ruff Boys flew up above the heads of those who were taller than them, to get a better view. Beside them, their longtime rivals, and recently friends, the Power Puff Girls, swayed in the air as they too floated up.
"Hi Boomer!" Bubbles, the blue-eyed, sweet member of the three, practically yelled out as she pounced on the boy, almost causing both of them to fall back to the ground. Her shout caused the entire crowd to turn, and up in front, Dexter looked very annoyed. Boomer blushed the brightest of reds, and next to him, he could hear his brothers holding laughter under their breath.
"Excuse me, Boomer." Dexter said from his podium, the small microphone attached to it amplifying his voice. "If you would please let me continue, so I can explain to everyone what exactly is going on here!" Dexter stated, his accent thick. Boomer nodded, and the young red-haired boy in the front began his speech.
"Hello my fellow…." Dexter struggled to look for a word to describe the group, seeing that many weren't human, and Jack Skellington wasn't even alive. He coughed, ignoring his sentence and continuing anyway.
"Never mind. The reason you are all here is so I can explain to those who need explaining.", the little genius, who began feeling a little pompous at the moment, began pacing back and forth as he talked, with his right hand gesturing as he spoke. Mandark rolled his eyes, and Sonic sighed in annoyance.
"As this, Creator, or whoever he wants to call himself, has told us, something is coming to this world. These things, which are known as the Great Old Ones, are on their way to this world. That sign you all saw, was the sign of R'lyeh. It is a symbol of their coming.", Dexter continued, his glasses glinting against the sun as he paced.
"'Ey Dorkster!", a loud voice yelled out from the crowd, and it was from none other than Numbuh 4, a member of Sector V of the Kids Next Door. "Can you stop borin us all to death with your nerd speech, and just tell us what these really Oldy things ar'?
Numbuh 4's incompetence annoyed the genius, but he kept his cool and did not burst. In the crowd, he could see Mandark smiling evilly at him, and Dexter ignored him and Numbuh 4, continuing his speech.
"If you'd let me explain, I would tell you. The Great Old Ones are ancient and powerful alien creatures from beyond time and space. They are immense in size, each probably being at least close to the size of Godzilla."
Sonic remembered the kaiju that roamed the sea next to the city, and the hedgehog knew he would probably help them against these aliens.
"They are powerful in many ways. According to ancient texts I have studied, they each have powers both physical and mental. They are even said to drive some insane by merely looking upon them. They are cosmic forces to be reckoned with."
"And what do you suppose these things will do when they arrive, Dexter?", Amy exclaimed, surprising Sonic next to her.
"Well….that is quite simple, Amy….umm….", Dexter struggled to say, an obvious red creeping on his cheeks. Sonic sighed, and Knuckles, who was only a few feet away from him, laughed under his breath. Dexter realized what he was doing, and quickly regained his composure.
"It's really quite simple. Just as the Creator said, when they arrive here, everything will end. These things will wipe us all of the face of this world."
"WHAT????", Numbuh 4 yelled out, as he ran around in circles, panicking like a 4-year old. Beside him, Numbuh 2 snickered, and Numbuh 1 looked away in embarrassment.
"So you're saying…we're all going to die?" Timmy Turner asked out loud, and Dexter nodded silently. The boy's face changed into a look of utter fear, and above him, his two fairies, Cosmo and Wanda, embraced as they cried their eyes out.
Everyone seemed to go into shock. Shock, Lock and Barrel, who were normally unafraid of most things, were beginning to bawl into tears as they hugged each other goodbye. Cream held her Chao Cheese tightly, tears welling in her eyes. Shadow looked away from everyone, pretending as if he didn't care at all. Knuckles, who tried his best to remain strong and stone-faced, was caught by surprise by a crying Rouge, who tightly hugged the echidna as she let her tears out.
"This is the end then….", Sonic said, putting his head down. Next to him, he felt a presence move closer, until Amy had fully hugged him. He didn't push her away, but he kept his head down. He could hear her beginning to cry as well.
Suddenly, a boom of force could be heard that reverberated throughout the Great City. A flash of light exploded beside the crowd, and they looked to see what was happening. The light glowed bright, and when it finally began dying down, a figure could be seen bathed in it.
He was in normal garb, and he looked like he might be young, at least 17 years old. A regular black T-shirt, jeans, along green and black shoes was what he wore. On his tan face, black glasses sat, and his hair went up in a small afro. This was the Creator.
"Well, I've had enough with the god routine." this boy said, "I'm just going to be myself this time. The name's Kareem, and yes, I'm the Creator. And I'm here to help you all stop these aliens from coming and destroying this world of mine."

And what's going to happen next? You'll just have to wait and see....
