In Another Universe
Station Square - Time: 12:14 PM
April 4, 3543
In the outside of a large city filled with buildings that's the height of skyscrapers and filled with Mobians and cars, held a large set of plains with hills and trees, with a being sitting on it and staring at the sky. The being revealed to be the world hero, Ken the Hedgehog, a Brown hedgehog with a Grey arrow-like marking on his top quill, in which he now had multiple ones under his normal ones, Dark Blue eyes, and wore glasses, wore a Brown and Grey shirt, also having a Black one armed backpack with a Red circle on the top piece, Blue scarf with a Silver necklace, having sports tape on both ankles and forearms, also having Black pants with his Grey arrow symbol on it along with chains, Black and Grey shoes, a ring through his ear, and had White gloves with the palms being Black and wearing a Gold ring on his middle finger.
"The sky looks so...Much more peaceful today...Much more despite Mephiles and everyone else gone..." Ken thought to himself before he closed his eyes to rest them but then heard footsteps coming up, but he never once moved.
"Ken?" A female voice asked as he then looked to see it was his twin sister, Yune, a Grey Hedgehog with Green eyes and wore a Black hoodie, Khaki jeans, and boots. "Are...Are you ok?" He didn't respond and just kept looking at the sky, making her sigh and keep walking closer so she could rip his shoulder. "Come on. It's your birthday just as well as mine. Don't be so sad on a day like this." He didn't move, making her concerned. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. It's just...How many people died today, twenty years ago?" He suddenly asked, which took her back. "Twenty years ago...Is when our dad died by the hands of Xiran, and our clan. I just can't...Can't help but feel like I shouldn't be happy on a day...Like this." Yune sighed lightly upon hearing this.
"Don't let what happened before ruin it for you. If anything, mom and dad would want us happy." She said as he then looked at her, with her smiling. "Come on. Edge and Ariel are waiting, even Stone. Plus...We brought someone you might be surprised to see." His eyes widened a bit, thinking it is who he thinks this person is, and nods in agreement, which made her smile more. "Good. Now let's go. We don't want to make them wait." He slowly got up and the two of them walked back to town, while a humanoid shadow watched them in the distance, then disappeared.
Station Square - Uppertown - Time: 12:43 PM
Both of the twins finally made their way to the house and opened the door.
"Hey! We're home!" Yune yelled through the house to see Ariel, a old Red Fox, walk in with a bunch of presents inside.
"Thank goodness you're safe." She said to Ken and suddenly hugged him, which took him by surprise but he hugged back while Edge, a small nine year old Red Cat with Black and Grey clothing came out and saw him.
"Ken! You're here!" He said as he then ran and hugged him around the waist, with him smiling slightly and hugged back around his head.
"Yeah, I am." He said as Edge then grabbed his hand and started toward the kitchen, dragging him inside, making him smile a bit until it was dropped by seeing something, Gemstone, a Green furred Hedgehog with the same colored eyes while wearing a Grey T-shirt, Black skirt, Boots, and gloves, sitting on the coffee table with Stone, a Light Grey Hedgehog with the same colored eyes, now wearing a Black full-body armor with his gauntlets installed. "G-Gem..." She only looked down, not wanting to look at him.
"We found her around the area recently. After those events...We thought maybe this would give you the time to talk about what occurred six months ago." Stone said before getting up, then looking at the rest. "Perhaps we should go to leave them behind for now." They nodded and left both Ken and Gemstone alone, with they both staying silent.
"...Hi..." Gemstone said suddenly, making Ken nod slightly. "Are you doing alright?"
"...Yeah, I guess so..." He said, with the both of them still being a bit silent, but then sighed. "Look...I never asked them for you to come here. I didn't...I just-"
"No..No, it's fine." She said suddenly, interrupting him. "I'm...I'm sorry for hurting you that night...I only...I just thought that..."
"It's alright...I understand your reasons." Ken said before sitting down. "I'm just wondering...Why you decided to isolate yourself after what happened between us. Was it...Because of the shame of you breaking up with me? You didn't want to see me in pain? Or...Something between those lines?"
"No...It was nothing like those." Gemstone said as she stared at him in the eyes. "I isolated myself...Because I knew that if I stayed around, I'd only hurt you. So...I thought that...Maybe...It was for the best...Friends or not..."
"Gem..." Ken said as he grabbed her hand in comfort, but not out of love, with her looking at him. "We all still care for you regardless, even me. Boyfriend or not, I'm still here for you...As a friend, or whatever you want it to be." He then looked at Edge, who was outside. "Edge missed you the most out of everyone. Every day he asked when you'll be home, or if you're ok. If it was to stop me from being in pain, then...What pained me more is you never being in any of our lives." Her eyes widened upon hearing that, then looked at Edge. "We don't have to be in a relationship to be near each other. Let's be a group again, as friends." He offered his hand to her, with her staring but slowly smiled and took it.
"...As friends." She said, making each other smile while the group from the outside all high-fived each other. "C'mon. We have a party to start." They both got up and walked outside with the others, making them smile. "Hey guys. What do you say we finally get to our location?"
"Sounds good to me!" Yune said with a smile, then looked at Ariel. "Are you sure you want to stay home?"
"Yes, I'm fine sweetie. You all just have fun." She said before heading into the house, but it was suddenly shot and destroyed by a large fireball, killing Ariel with it in the process, which shocked them.
"ARIEL! NO!" Gemstone yelled, which shocked Yune and Edge the most as they begun to cry, then they all looked to see a large molten lava-like giant crashing and destroying through the city. "W-WHAT IS THAT THING?!"
"I don't know WHAT it is, but we've got to stop it!" Ken said until there was one thing that brought their attention the most, seeing a Hedgehog-like humanoid that was Light Brown with Black outlines around the eyes, quills that went downward, arms, Black Elf-like shoes, Blood Red outlines on his legs and Blood on his fingers, and Gold shoulder pads, ankle and forearm pads, and a circle in which held a skull-like symbol but had horns, seeing like it's on a final stage. "What...Is that thing on top? It's like its master!"
"You all must stall this monster while I try to obtain the Master Emerald from within the house! I brought it with me in case of such battles as this!" Stone said as he quickly ran to the ruins and attempted to look through it.
"You do that, I'll stall as much time as I possibly can!" Ken said as he took out the seven Chaos Emeralds from his backpack, and they begun to hover and spin around him, causing a small light to burst, turning him into Super Ken, who now had Gold fur and Red Ruby eyes along with a Golden Aura, same with anyone else who used its power. "Let's beat this thing first before getting to the main guy!" Yune looked over at him slowly, then suddenly got a large amount of motivation to stop it, in which she got up to look at Gemstone.
"Get Edge out of here as far as you can! I'm helping him block this monster!" She said as she walked over to Super Ken, with him looking as they nodded, and her quickly putting her hand on his hand to absorb the Super energy, becoming Super Yune. "Let's do this!"
"Right!" Super Ken said as the two of them rushed toward the large monster and begun to attack them with Chaos Spears, but to their surprise, it did little to no damage. Super Ken decided to restradegize and put a majority of his power into his chains and fists, making them more powerful as he begun to lash and punch at its chest, hoping to open up a spot so Yune could shoot at it for critical damage, but it still did little to nothing on him, making him do a last resort like he never did before. He begun to charge up as much Chaos Energy as possible in his spindash, with Gold orbs coming in, strengthening him more and more until he let it go, hoping to crack through it but nothing worked onto it as well. "Damn it! Nothing's working at all!" At the same time, the Mobian looked in the distance to see the running Gemstone and Edge.
"...You will not escape...Thundaga." He said in a morphed voice before swinging his hand toward them, suddenly striking a large amount of thunder at them, which was about to hit them until Stone finally saw after finding the Master Emerald.
"NO!" Stone yelled as he quickly ran to them, hoping to take the hit for them but it was too late as it then hit Edge, shocking him and eventually making his body in the ground, signifying he was probably dead, but was able to get in just in time to push Gemstone out of the way, making him take the hit as well and putting him in the same state as Edge now. They all saw this in complete shock.
"NO! EDGE! STONE!" Super Ken yelled before his anger finally reached its limit. "First Ariel...Stone...And NOW EDGE!" He suddenly bursted in power, enhancing his strength. "I don't know who you are...But I'll stop you before you kill ANYONE ELSE!" Gemstone slowly began to recover and saw their bodies, shocking her and then putting her into anger as well. "Yune! Gem! Let's do this!"
"Right!" Super Yune said as she lend Gemstone her powers, turning her into Super Gemstone.
"For Edge and Stone!" Super Gemstone said just before they aimed their hands at the revealing Master Emerald, making it glow as it gave the Chaos Emeralds more power, turning into Super Emeralds, and making all of their fur turn from Gold into multicolor before turning into White, becoming Hyper.
"...So, this is the extent of your abilities." The mobian said as he then crossed his arms to observe it.
"Alright! Let's do it!"Hyper Ken said as the three of them flew around in blistering lights, with the monster only observing slowly before attempting to swing its arm to fight it off but was suddenly punched in the shoulder by Super Gemstone, making it yell in pain and giving them the idea that they're now more powerful and begun to pull out a full all-out assault on it, shooting Chaos Spears all around as parts of its molten lava armor begun to come off.
"It's working! Just a little bit more!" Hyper Yune said as both her and Gemstone kept shooting Chaos Spear while Hyper Ken begun to charge up his Spindash with multiple colored orbs being abaorbed into him, but once he was finished, he formed a large rainbow aura around him but he kept Spindashing long enough to gain more power.
"This is it! Here...We...GO!"Hyper Ken yelled until he flashed behind the large monster in split second, suddenly cracking a hole through both sides of it and giving both Hyper Yune and Gemstone enough time to quickly finish the attack off with a large barrage of energy, making the cracking grow more and more until it covered its whole body and suddenly break apart, destroying the large giant.
"Yes! We did it!"Hyper Gemstone said as they landed on the ground to see the giants remains falling, with a whole arm landing as well, and the Mobian slowly starting to descend onto the ground.
"This power...It even defeated the Pulse Fal'Cie; Titan. That is simply remarkable." He said, but closed his eyes and crossed his arms. "But...Your newest powers cannot match up to mine myself. You may try all you want, but it will be nothing."
"You must REALLY think you're all talk, aren't you?"Hyper Ken asked anger. "After all the damage you did to us, and this city. You're going down big time!"
"If that is what you think...Then may you have the first strike." The Mobian said after looking at Hyper Gemstone.
"Alright, if that's what you want!"Hyper Gemstone said as she then punched the Mobian in the chest with all her power, but it did not hurt him by any mean, which shocked her until he slowly grabbed her wrist softly.
"...Blizzaga." He said, suddenly freezing Hyper Gemstone's entire body into ice, shocking them. "...Simply easy." He took his hand to aim it at her, and then forced a sudden burst of energy to do what was never expected: Hyper Gemstone's body that became one with the ice, broke, killing her as it shocked everyone.
"N-NO! GEMSTONE!" Hyper Yune said in shock, but then yelled in rage as she quickly shot a barrage of Chaos Spears alongside Hyper Ken, which didn't affect him at all and he countered them by shooting a burst of energy to send them back harshly through multiple buildings. The mobian slowly walked to where they went, seeing Hyper Yune now returned to normal and knocked out, but Hyper Ken on one of his knees and breathing heavily.
"...You are all that remains of your group now. Are you yet ready to surrender, Ken the Hedgehog?" He asked as Hyper Ken slowly got up weakly, but also in anger now.
"You...Who...Who are you?" Hyper Ken asked after finally getting up, in which the Mobian only stood and shook his head.
"...Did all the time since you've last seen me finally get to your memory? The amount of time it's been since you've done the deed?" He asked but sighed. "I'm sad to know that. But regardless, it's time to finish off the very last member of your group, and finish what I have started." Hearing this made Hyper Ken mad prepare himself.
"You come to MY WORLD and hurt and kill MY FRIENDS, and you act all nonchalant about it! You won't get away with this!"He yelled as he suddenly bursted into a rainbow aura, increasing his power as parts of the ground nearby crumbled a bit. "I WILL protect this world, and STOP YOU FROM DESTROYING IT!" He quickly dashed toward the Mobian and begun to punch him harshly in the face as harshly as possible, making each and every punch stronger and stronger through rage, and did make his head move but did no damage. On the last punch, it was suddenly stopped by his hand, which shocked him as it did no damage to him at all.
"...You were never this weak before." He said until his hands were covered in flames, making Hyper Ken actually scared. "...Firaga." The flames suddenly bursted in front of him, making him scream and flying through another building. He slowly walked to him to see that Hyper Ken is now back to his normal form, still awake but now weak. "...It is time to put you out of your misery..." The Chaos Emeralds near Ken begun to rotate around him, along with the last remains of Titan, as the sky begun to turn Red with the same colored lightning in the sky, destroying remains of the earth alongside its inhabitants. Ken slowly begun to get up, but ever so barely, and witnessed what was happening. "...Farewell, Ken the Hedgehog." He suddenly faded away in a mist of Orange, leaving him.
"N-No...I-I failed...I-I failed..." He said to himself as the earth began to disintegrate, along with the universe, with him slowly looking around. "Y-Yune? Yune!" He looked quickly to see her unconscious body about to fall through an opening of the earth and into the nonexistent space created by the chaos of the Mobian. "NO!" He quickly ran as fast as he could, leaving behind the remains falling into nonexistence, and just when she was about to fall, he grabbed her hand to stop her. "Yune...Wake up...Wake up, please..." The universe then made a large boom, making him lose her grip. "Please...You're my only family now...You're all I've got left..." She didn't respond or wake up still, but when another boom came up, he lost his grip on her, making her float away. "NO! YUNE! YUNE!" He looked down in sadness, with tears flowing as the universe was just about to explode as the rest of the remains of earth disappeared.
He closed his eyes, waiting for the blast but there was a sudden Green light inside space, hearing twinkling from nearby, seeing that on the inside was some unknown energy and suddenly covered him in Green energy tendrils to halt him, and forced him to watch a vision where the Mobian and Ken himself are suppose to destroy another world that was filled with Green field and towns, with him seeing it in horror until a bright light hit his left forearm, making him scream in pain until he was let go and put into some sort of portal of sorts, possibly sending him into the world on nonexistence.
