Chapter four: Nova

AN: Hey guys, it's me. I know it's been awhile since I posted anything or updated anything, but life has been getting in the way. I hope to get back on a normal schedule soon.

Tyber got into a combat stance, "Twilight, what are you doing?"

Twilight chuckled, "Tyber isn't it obvious? I'm going to kill you?"

Tyber shook his head and smirked, "You and what army?"

Twilight shrugged, "Who said I needed one?" With that he Chaos controlled away from Tyber and to another part of Omega Corps.

"Darn it!" Tyber called out.

Omega Corps Administration level: Robert's office

Robert's eyes shot open as an unknown hedgehog appeared in front of him, "Who are y-"

Robert's question was cut off by the hedgehog's fist connecting with his chin, which happened to be surrounded by Chaos Energy, knocking him out. He grabbed Robert by the shirt and teleported again.

Omega Corps living quarters: Mary's room

Mary gasped in shock as the hedgehog teleported into her room holding Robert by his shirt, "What are y-" She was cut off by a Psionic Pulse which knocked her our instantly.

Tyber shook his head and groaned, "How did I let him get away like that? I'm better than that."

"I guess you're not as good as you think."

Tyber spun around and was met by Twilight with both of his parents behind him, unconscious.

Tyber gasped, "Mom, dad?"

Twilight chuckled darkly, "They're alive, for now."

Tyber growled, "Let them go, now."

Twilight laughed, "And where's the fun in that?"

Tyber rushed him with Chaos energy in his hands and repeatedly punched the dark hedgehog.

After a few seconds of being pummeled by Tyber, Twilight chuckled and said, "My turn." A sphere of black energy formed in his right hand, and he pushed it into Tyber and it detonated, sending him flying.

Tyber got up from the floor, a black mark on his shirt. He said while panting, "What was that?"

Twilight smirked, "Dark energy, it's far more potent than Psionic or Chaos energy."

Tyber shook his head, "Darkness, isn't that the same energy that…"

Twilight nodded, "Yes, it's the same energy that destroyed multiple Psionic born. I've gained the same power."

Tyber gasped lightly, Darkness energy was well known to all Psionics; it was energy that no one dared use, mainly because it had the capability to corrupt its user. He growled at Twilight, "You know the risks of using Darkness!"

Twilight simply laughed.

Tyber's eyes widened, "You, you're not Twilight. Not anymore."

The dark hedgehog smirked, "So, the general finally figured it out. I'm his dark form, created by the dark thoughts and temptations of him."

Tyber got back into a combat stance, "Darkness or not, I will destroy you."

"So you say, but didn't I just prove that you are weak compared to me?"

Tyber smirked and held out his hand toward Twilight, "Psionic Strike!" A blue lightning bolt shot from his hand and toward Twilight, who deflected it into the floor just by moving his hand slightly.

Twilight grinned and said, "Now, you die."

Right as Twilight said those words, Mary and Robert stirred, and Twilight sent a black lightning bolt right through Tyber's heart.

Tyber staggered back a little, and slowly fell to his knees, then to his hands, and then with a final gasp he totally collapsed.

Twilight started laughing.

Mary Robert watched in horror as Tyber fell, but they were still too weak to do anything to Twilight.

Unknown

Tyber looked around and saw a green crystal like area, almost like it was a room made out of crystal. He was supposed to be dead, that bolt should have cut through him like butter.

"Welcome child."

Tyber spun around, "Who's there?"

The voice chuckled, "A strange greeting for one who just saved your life."

Tyber relaxed a bit, "Who are you?"

"My name is Chaos."

Tyber nodded slowly, "Ok, you're the one who created the emeralds."

"Yes, but we have a more pressing matter, namely your clone."

Tyber sighed, "I can't beat him, at the moment he's just too strong."

"Child, you're stronger than you think."

Tyber cocked his head, "Just how strong am I?"

Chaos chuckled and three objects appeared in the 'room', "There are two objects in the room. Pick one." One was a Sword, made of green crystal and the hilt has adorned with seven different color gems. One was a Shield, with a large green emerald in the center, and seven gems surrounding it. The third was a red lightning bold.

Tyber looked quizzically at the objects, "Uh Chaos, there's three objects here."

'So, he's the one who can unify both. This will be interesting.' Chaos though before saying, "Grab the lightning bolt, it's the only one that suits you anyway." The other two objects disappeared.

Tyber touched the lightning bolt, and a surge of power went through his body, when the power surge was over, he now had the same crimson stripes the Shadow had, and his eyes were crimson as well. 'This must be the power he mentioned.' He smirked before saying, "Well, that was unexpected."

Chaos laughed, "Well, now you far more power than you had. Go show Twilight why you don't mess with a Chaos and Psionic born."

Tyber's smirk faded, "But I'm dead, right?"

"No, I just transferred your soul to the Master Emerald for a few seconds. Time hasn't changed, go have fun."

Tyber nodded before a light engulfed him.

Twilight turned toward Mary and Robert, "You two are next." He took a step before a flash from behind stopped him. He turned around, "What?"

Tyber's body started floating and landed on its feet, the stripes formed on it, before a storm of crimson lightning surrounded it. After a few seconds Tyber opened his eyes, which were now crimson. He said, "Step away from them Twilight."

Twilight growled, "You forget your place!" He sent a black lightning bolt at Tyber, who simply teleported behind Twilight. Twilight turned around, a look of fear on his face.

Tyber thrust his hand out, and a crimson lightning bolt tore through Twilight's left shoulder. He cried out in pain, "How?!"

Tyber lowered his hand, "I'm stronger than you think."

Robert smiled inwardly, 'So he's the one who can fuse Psionic and Energy into one, Twilight is now in trouble.'

Twilight backed up slowly, "This isn't over." With those words he teleported away from the base.

Tyber went over to his parents, "Are you two alright?"

Mary smiled slightly, even though he almost died, gained enough power to destroy almost whatever he wanted, he was still their son first. Mary nodded, "A little dazed, but fine beyond that."

Robert nodded as well, "My chin hurts, but I'm fine."

Tyber smiled, "Good, let's get you guys to the infirmary, just to make sure."
