Live Fast Die Young

Chapter 3

Girl Power

Shadow and Scion were questioning, each other, Shadow keeping up his tough guy façade and Scion actually acting serious, unlike his father. After swapping stories of what they were up to for the past 13 years, Shadow finally asked the question that would set their future. "So, where's you father?" Scion, closed his eyes and looked down, the image rushing through his head.

"… I don't know…. All we saw was this black mass crash though one wall and out the other and fly off with him…" Shadows eyes suddenly widened as he realized the two possibilities of who they may be facing. But knowing that one was destroyed fourteen years ago, he jumped to his 2nd conclusion.

"Scourge…."

Silver, Mobius, Eclipse, and Scions eyes all widened at the mentioning of that name, all of them knowing the stories. Scourge had been formed from Sonics evil half, a being of pure evil. If this was his work, they had their work cut out for them. Scion looked off into the distance, in the direction that Scourge ad taken Sonic. "Then we'd better catch up…… Mom and Sonia went that way already, they sent me to find you."

Silver stared in that direction and began to ponder what Scourge was really up to. "Well, we'd better get going…." Silver took to the skies and began to fly in that direction. Mobius turned bright green with dark green markings, his spines aimed straight back, aerodynamically, then lifted into the air with a gust of wind and took off after his father. Eclipses shoes began to thrust and he flew after them using his bat wings, and Scion and Shadow ran after them. These five matched each others speeds and took off toward the west, the fog slowly clearing.

After a few moments of flying and running, they came across a torn battle field, with two hedgehogs, a bright purple fox, a male and a female echidna, and a mass of Overlords. Scion ran into the fray and leapt over them, shouting to his family. "YO, DON'T GOVE UP SO EASILY!"

The red echidna gave an Overlord a strong uppercut to its chin, tearing the head off. "No way I'm giving up!" Knuckles was suddenly surrounded from all sides, immobile in the air. Suddenly, a bright blue hedgehog girl ran toward him and summoned a bow staff into her hand, spinning it as fast as she could. Her mother Amy ran up next to her with her hammer.

"Give em your best shot Sonia!"

"Got it mom!" They both leapt into the air and thrust their weapons down on the Overlords heads, freeing Knuckles from any chance of being attacked. As the three of them landed, the female echidna, wearing a black outfit with green lining, ran up to the closest Overlord and covered her fist in violet light, then uppercut the metal beast, cutting it in two. Suddenly, a second female echidna dove down from a cliff and covered her fists in light and darkness, landing between a troop of them and as she landed, the resulting explosion swallowed them all and left them melted ton the ground, the echidna herself, Liz, standing among them with her arms crossed. Knuckles and the 1st female echidna turned toward her and smirked.

"Good going sis!"

"Awesome kill aunt Liz!"

"Thanks bro, thanks Tikai!" As Liz ran toward them, off to her side, the frightened lavender fox girl was surrounded by Overlords, all of them slowly closing in on her. Silvers eyes widened as he saw this, his adopted daughter in danger. "DANI!"

Dani was slowly backing away, until they completely boxed her in. Her fear quickly turned to a playful smile as she stared them down. "Fooled ya!" Dani quickly rose her hands and the four of them were crushed by her psychokinesis, leaving nothing but crushed scrap. Silver smiled at this, knowing it was her plan all along to lure them in, then ran into the fray and all the heroes gathered into one point. Suddenly, they had a shadow cast over them as a flying Metal Overlord hovered over them. Liz smirked as she announced another heroes arrival. "Get em Grim."

"ONI BLITZ!" Before the others knew what had happened, a red hedgehog with black streaks shot into the air and kneed the Overlord in the face, breaking off its head and causing it to explode as he dove down through the flames, and as he landed, they could clearly see that he was wearing a white cloak of some kind, clearly belonging to some sort of clan. Liz ran up to him and hugged him tight, then gave Grim a quick peck on the cheek.

"Everyone, this is my husband, Grim. I know it's a little sudden, but we fell in love fast and just couldn't wait." Knuckles stepped up to his new brother in law and shook his hand quick.

"Welcome to the family, but we don't have time for this. Look over there." Knuckles pointed into the distance and they could clearly see a troop of about thirty more Overlords headed their way. This wouldn't be an easy fight. Or would it? Scion turned toward Dani, Sonia, Amy, Liz, and Tikai, then smirked a bit.

"I say we let the ladies handle this." The five women in the troop turned to him and smirked back, knowing just what was on his mind. Dani was utterly clueless though, and would just go with it. Scion turned to Dani and smiled a bit. "And you'll be the team leader. Take the lead with your psychokinesis." Dani looked clueless for another moment before smiling wide and jumping to action.

"Come on everybody! Lets play!" Sonia, Amy, Liz, and Tikai ran after her, and were suddenly lifted into the air by her psychokinesis. Amy summoned her hammer and Sonia summoned her bow staff, while Liz and Tikai forced themselves into drill spin, Liz covered in orange and blue eclipse energy, and Tikai covered in indigo Twilight energy. "GO!"

Dani leapt into the middle of the troop and began to swing her arms in a crazed and playful dance, aiming her friends toward the Overlords as they began to bash and tear away at them one by one and the metal scraps came crashing down. As an overpowered and larger Overlord towered over them, Dani smirked and swung her arms toward it, causing all four of the girls to fly toward it and crash into its head, and on impact, sparks began to fly and they backed away just before it was engulfed in a fiery explosion. But then, another one came out of the flames and charged in for an attack, but the heroes had no time to react. Last second, a black cat with white markings wearing a green miniskirt and top dove down off the cliffside and spun into it, razor light emanating from her claws, tearing a hole right through it.

As the cat landed among them, Scion ran up yelling out to her. "Hey Ashez!" Ashez turned to Scion and smiled, her tail flicking in the air.

"Hey Scion. Heard your dad was in trouble, so I thought I'd join in!" Ashez ran over to the others and the entire team finally met up, exchanging stories on how they got involved and what they were to do next. And to Scion, it quickly became clear, his fathers burning soul passed down to him.

"This is it then…. We go in and show Scourge what we're made of, free my dad, and let him finish them off. And if he cant do it……. I will."
