Wielders of Chaos

by Super Shadowsonic

Sonic and his friends were defeated. They lost everything, their homes, their planet, and their lives. Now overlanders most stand up and fight for them equipped only with the powers and guidance of the fallen heroes gifted to them. It's a fight to end the darkness that has encased the planet. But can mere children succeed where heroes have failed?

4. The Journey Begins

The Wielders of Chaos part 4

"The Journey Begins,"

Miles screeched to halt in the giant fields of Soleana. Miles had just casted off the darkness from this land with his Chaos Emerald. Miles admits that the discovery was very shocking, but confusing. It was worsen when Sonic couldn't properly explain it. Miles decided that if he wanted to know the full details then had to find another Carrier as they are dubbed now. Sonic told him that he sensed an emerald somewhere on the outer parts of the land. Miles knew Kingdom Valley was the best way out of Soleana and to the main land. However, he also knew that this area is where monsters were heavily populated. He thanked the Chaos Force the night sky was so bright tonight, but even with that as a fact he felt it better if he travel by day.

"Miles, you know we can't waste time," Sonic said from the Chaos Emerald on Mile's belt. "With my super speed you can breeze through Kingdom Valley in five minutes flat,"

"Oh, you mean that super speed I can barley control," Miles said.

"Well you need to practice at some point,"

"I'd rather not in such a dangerous place. Kingdom Valley is a valley between mountains. I'm sure you would have no trouble dashing and jumping between mountains, but…"

"But?"

"I'm…not so good with heights," Miles admitted weakly gripping his backpack as he approached the old castle ruins.

"You're afraid of heights?"

"…yeah…"

"Well, I guess this might be a problem,"

"Why don't you just go through Kingdom Valley for me, that way I wont freak out and slip on a rock and fall to my death?" Miles asked.

"No, can do. Because you gotta learn. Not just to learn how use my powers, but to face your fears,"

"But-?"

"You were scared of that mob right?"

"Yeah a little, but-,"

"You were scared of those monsters right?"

"Of course who wouldn't be but-,"

"And you were scared to jump out that window right?"

"Terrified!"

"My point is you did do all that, even though you were scared. Kingdom Valley will have to serve as your first real test,"

"Everything else was just a warm-up huh?"

"Yep,"

Miles sighed. He definitely didn't want this job. However, he couldn't simply leave Sonic out in the middle of nowhere and hope he falls into more worthy hands. According to Sonic there isn't anyone else more worthy. Miles supposed he'd have to put up with it for a while. Miles began walking around the old castle that served as the entrance to Kingdom Valley. Miles looked at the vast expansion of land, and the darkness that covered it. Miles gulped even more fearful since the darkness was beginning to roll back in.

"So, we only freed Soleana from this darkness?" Miles asked surprised.

"Ya didn't think it would be that easy didja?"

"I was hoping,"

"Rule number one Miles, it's never easy,"

"Duly noted," Miles said looking around trying to find a path to start the journey. He supposed Sonic had a point. He would find a place to rest after he left. Plus, since he does hold a very powerful object that Mephiles wants his hands on it would be best to keep him from getting his hands on it. Miles looked and looked, but he could not seem to find an accessible path from the point he stood. Miles crossed his arms. "There doesn't seem to be a safe way of starting out,"

Miles looked at the mountains and the valley that lies between them. He supposed that it was about maybe more then a one thousand meters. He definitely needed a path. Miles sighed then suddenly he thought he heard something. He counted it off as Sonic's sensitive hearing going off at nothing and decided to ignore it. However, he started to recognize the rhythmic pattern of footsteps. Miles turned to see someone approaching the castle with a brown cloak. Miles gasped as he quickly hid in the shadows. He watched the figure glance around then move into the old castle. Miles supposed it was just another bum and decided to go about his way knowing now the person presented no real danger.

"Let's follow em," Sonic muttered.

"No," Miles said.

"Come on aren't you curious,"

"I'd rather try and deal with the problem at hand before venturing to other things," Miles said. That's the type of person Miles is. He focused on getting on task done at a time. He didn't like to move to another task until the one he started was complete.

"Well think of it this way, this person seems to know where they're going. We don't have a clue what to do,"

"Haven't you gone through Kingdom Valley before?"

"I don't think so," Sonic answered honestly.

"Well…how do we know this person is trustworthy?"

"We don't, that's why we're investigating,"

"Can't argue with that logic," Miles said sarcastically. Miles decided to just peek in on the person to satisfy Sonic's curiosity. Miles stuck his head in the doorway of the old castle tower. The castle was actually farther into Kingdom Valley, this part they were standing on was merely the doorway per say. The tower was gigantic with only one way in and one way out. Miles observed the cloaked figure from a distance. "What is he up to?" Miles asked himself growing curious.

The person then raised both their hands then a great light appear before them. It took Miles by surprise so much he gasped loud enough for the person to hear him. The person quickly turned around.

"Whose there?" the voice commanded.

"Your…a girl," Miles said sticking his head in.

"Yes, I am, and who are you?"

"It's polite to introduce yourself before asking for someone else's name," Miles said walking since hiding at this point was pointless.

"It's also polite to not spy on someone," she retorted.

"Touché," Miles said folding his arms. He's been doing that a lot lately. "My names Miles, and you?"

"I am," the figure removed their hood. "Elise,"

"Princess!" Miles exclaimed before performing a small bow. "Sorry, I had no idea, I'll just leave you,"

"No, please it's quite alright. I'm curious to know what you are doing out here young one," she said coming closer.

"Your only five years older then me princess," Miles muttered.

Elise smiled at him. "True, but being a citizen of Soleana you are also my responsibility. This place is dangerous,"

"I know…but…I uh…"

"What is-," Elis began but noticed the Chaos Emerald on Miles's belt. She gasped startling Miles and making him turn around with fist raised.

"What? What happened? Are there monsters?" Miles said eyes jetting from side to side.

"No, but you have one,"

"Have one of what?"

"A Chaos Emerald," she said gasping. "Where did you get that?"

"I found it, or it found me hard to say,"

"How ya doing princess!" Sonic exclaimed.

"GAH!" Princess Elise exclaimed reeling back. "Did-did it just talk?"

"Yep it sure did," Sonic said.

"Getting him to stop is the real trick," Miles said.

"Wait…that voice…it sounds so…familiar," Elise said calming down. She bent down a bit at Miles's level. "Who is that?"

"This is Sonic The Hedgehog," Miles said holding up the Chaos Emerald.

"Hey princess, I'd bow and stuff, but I'm sure you can see why," Sonic said.

"I do see," Elise then let a bright smile come to her face. "Finally, this darkness that has plagued the world will finally come to an end,"

"What do you mean?" Miles asked.

"May I borrow him for a moment?" Elise asked politely. Miles happily obliged handing her the emerald. "Wow, it's so bright, and so warm. Your very lucky Miles, to hold this object,"

"That's what I've been trying to tell him,"

"I don't want to be this big action hero I just want to find you a proper place," Miles said, but then Miles thought of something. "Hey Princess Elise why don you keep him? I'm sure you don't mind being the savior of the planet,"

"A kind offer, but I cannot," Princess Elise said.

"Why not?"

"Because, I am not right for it. This Chaos Emerald feels so foreign to me. If I were to try and tap into its powers I would probably do more harm then good,"

"In other words, your still stuck with me,"

"Great," Miles sighed then looked at the princess again. "What were you doing out here anyway princess? I have some form of protection, but your all alone you could get hurt,"

She smiled. "Thank you for your concern, but I needed to do this. I was drawn here for some reason, and now I know why,"

"Why?"

"You must gather the other lights in order to cast out the darkness,"

"Lights?"

"Chaos Emeralds,"

"Oh right, well we just need to find a path through Kingdom Valley, and we'll be out of your hair,"

"I can help you find the right path," Elise said.

"Really? Great, and preferable one that isn't that high in the air please,"

"That's great and all, but what were you doing earlier with that light?" Sonic asked.

"I was trying to see if I could locate the other lights,"

"What do you mean?" Elise stood up and walked over to where she was originally. Miles followed closely. She handed Miles the emerald then reached her hand out towards the wall. Then the wall light up with the same circle from before the bright light was blinding, but their eyes adjusted. "What is this?"

"It's a part of the castle of old. It's a mystical tracker of sorts, revealed only to those of the royal family. It can find mystical energy, and pin point them. With your emerald we may be able to pinpoint them exactly,"

"That's great, Sonic's not to good at this sensing stuff,"

"Hey!"

Miles handed the emerald to Elise who held it up to the glowing circle. The circle let out another glow then image passed through the circle. "The first emerald has already been found, by you of course. With you activating its powers the other emeralds have regained their power, which means they are now traceable again," Miles nods in understanding. "The second can be found…seems like…a circus tent,"

"Interesting," Miles noted.

"The third…oh my…I fear the third emerald will be a test of your skills so far in order for you to get it,"

"Why is that?" An image appeared on the screen of the circle. "And, who is that?"

"That is the Ixis wizard himself, Ixis Naugas,"

"Oh, boy, that's gonna be a tricky one alright,"

"The fourth will be even more difficult for it is in the hands of Mammoth Mogul, founder of the Ixis magics,"

"M-Mammoth M-M-Mogul, as is in THE Mammoth Mogul! As in-,"

"Big immortal mammoth with crazy magical powers, and with a chaos emerald he has godlike qualities. Mr. 'I can say a whole speech in one breath', yep that's the one,"

"Oh, god, I don't think I can take him!" Miles exclaimed.

"In your current status probably not, but fear not each trial you go through you shall gain another ally. The fifth luckily will probably be as easy as the second emerald," Miles sighed with relief. "The sixth emerald rest within the G.U.N. federation,"

"Well that should be easy! I would have pull there," Miles said.

"Your parents were G.U.N. agents right?"

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"I saw the picture,"

"Oh," Miles said and he left it at that. He hoped Sonic would sense that's as far as the conversation would go, and luckily the hedgehog did. Elise decided to grab his attention again.

"Finally, the seventh Chaos Emerald….oh my…"

"What?" Miles asked as he looked at the figure.

"You will have to go against the nefarious Dr. Eggman in order to get this emerald,"

"Ya don't say. Ol' egghead is still around. That should be a real test for you Miles,"

"Dr. Eggman is one the world's most dangerous people I don't know who to be more terrified of him or Mammoth Mogul. He's even taken down Mammoth Mogul once or twice," Miles said.

"You must have faith Miles. Lastly, you will need to get to the controller, The Master Emerald," Elise said revealing the gem.

Miles looked at the circle curiously to see an image appear. Somebody was standing in front of the Master Emerald.

"Is that an Echidna?" Miles asked.

"Not just any Echidna, that's Enerjak,"

"Who?"

"A living God basically, with crazy Chaos powers. He would practically be on par with Mogul,"

"And it would seem he has the Master Emerald in his control as well," Elise added.

"Sonic, you had to bash these guys around back in the day, what do we do?" Miles asked looking in the emerald. Panic written all over his face.

"The first thing is to stay calm, the second is to not worry about it. Right now we're focusing on getting through Kingdom Valley, which suddenly doesn't sound so scary compared to all these guys huh?" Miles nods in agreement. "You wont be going it alone alright pal, I got your back, and once we gather some friends they will too,"

"You think?"

"Trust me, I've got a PHD in being the hero,"

Miles smiled a small smile. "Well, that's good to hear," Miles held the emerald in his hands, and noted Elise was indeed right. The emerald was very warm, and maybe he is lucky.

"Alright you two, I'll get you a path to Kingdom Valley, and it should be the quickest way through," Elise said.

"Up for it Miles?" Sonic asked.

Miles looked at the ground for a moment before giving a weak smile. "Yeah…let's do it," Miles hooked the emerald back to his belt then faced Elise. "I'm ready,"

Elise nods then turns toward the circle. Suddenly the circle displayed a path of some kind. "Jump inside and it will transport you,"

"Cool," Miles said. Miles pulled up his gloves a bit as he stepped back. "Thanks for everything Princess Elise, and I'll make sure I wont let you down," Elise smiled at him. Miles then charged toward the portal then leaped in. Miles then fell to the ground to slam on his feet. He noted that it was still very dark here and that he needed to watch his step. However, he did see a good path for him to follow.

"Alright, let's start off with your basic movements. In order to master my skills you gotta stay calm at all times,"

"O-Okay," Miles said nervously.

"Now, start by going at a nice easy pace down the path," Miles obliged charging off at about roughly 30 mph. He pumped his arms heavily trying to maintain his course and stay in control. "One foot in front of the other. When you hit a certain speed try running like how I usually do,"

"You…mean with your…arms back," Miles said panting slightly.

"Yeah, that way you wont tire yourself out with all that arm pumping, and you can just focus on your footwork," Miles took Sonic's advice to let his arms straighten out behind him then running a bit faster. Miles noticed he had a bit more control, and with how fast he was going he didn't really need to focus that hard on keeping his arms up. "Good, I think you got it. Now, here comes a bend here. Make sure you get a firm grip as you turn the corner and put one foot in front the other," Miles gulped slightly as he hit the corner. As he turned his body he felt his feet sliding. Miles quickly placed his hand on the ground to gain some extra traction. This allowed him to slid out the corner, and then charge off barley using losing speed. "You…you just drifted Miles! It took me a while to learn that trick!" Miles chuckled to himself and at his accomplishment. Miles looked ahead him to see the path was quickly coming to an end.

"Uh-oh better stop!" Miles said beginning the phase of slowing down.

"No, speed up, you can jump it,"

"What?" Miles questioned. He looked past the pit fall to see another path a fair distance, but not impossible. "What if I don't make it?"

"Trust me you will, and if the off chance you don't leave it to me," Miles didn't know how Sonic could possibly recover from a drop, and not being the curious type he didn't want to find out. Miles charged on ahead picking up speed. "When you leap, leap out. Keep your body firm, I think the word for it is aerodynamic," Miles took a quick breath then leaped through the air leaping over the gorge that suddenly looked bigger up close. Miles looked out instead of down in order to stay focused. Miles landed somewhat gracefully then continued on. Miles sighed with relief. "Here comes another one,"

"You're kidding me," Miles said looking farther ahead, and sure enough another gorge was waiting. "Well here goes," Miles repeated the same thing making the gorge again. Miles started to smirk feeling accomplished.

"Don't be afraid to put a little style into it though," Sonic said. Miles rolled his eyes as he began to approach another gorge this one considerably larger. Miles picked up speed to jump. Miles then leaped out holding his form then performing a quick somersault then slides against the ground on his feet.

"How was that?" Miles asked.

"Good, now onto our next portion of training," Suddenly Miles heard movement. He turned to see Dark Ferals climbing up onto the platform he was currently on. Miles eyes darts around to see he was now surrounded. "Wow, perfect timing! Okay Miles here's your next step, taking down enemies,"

"I'm outnumbered, what do I do?" Miles asked trying to gain equal distance from all the creatures.

"Okay, rely on your reflexes Miles. You're faster then them, so it's best to play the waiting game. When you see a chance strike hard and fast!" Miles sighed then raised his fist to prepare for combat. The creatures all dived at him at the same time. Sonic instructed Miles to react not act. Miles looked to see, everything seemed a bit sluggish to him. The creatures seemed to be taking forever to pounce. Miles performed a somersault kick into the jaw of the one in front of him, and brought his feet down on top of the head of another Feral behind him. Miles then quickly leaped back avoid a claw swipe. Miles landed in the tree branch in the only tree of this part of the cliff. "Good moves. Focus on moving around them, and getting the best chance to attack,"

Miles nods then watches as the Feral leaped up at him. Miles leaned back dodging the pounce again. Miles wrapped his legs around the branch as he swung around. He reached up to grab the Feral's tail then swung forward to throw it to the ground. Miles came back down to the ground to see the monsters get back up. Obviously beating away at them wasn't enough. Miles noticed one came at him from the side taking him by surprise. As if by some strange reflex Miles actually leaned back so far his head almost touched the ground. Miles was surprised he actually pulled that dodge off. So surprised he fell on his back in trying to get back up.

"Nice dodge. Now try a homing attack. All ya gotta do is focus on your opponent then fling yourself at em," Sonic said. Miles rolled away from another claw swipe then swung his legs into the beast's face. Miles placed his feet underneath him to jump and then bring his body in tightly. He focused on the first then flung himself at it spinning with the energy quills surrounding his body. Miles bounced off and at the force of the attack the monsters was flung far off the cliff. Miles uncurled in midair mystified he pulled it off. "Okay strike three more times and these enemies are history,"

Miles did as told wiping out the rest of the enemies. Miles then turned to face the rest of his path. A brick wall laid before him. He walked over to it to give it an experimental push. It didn't feel sturdy enough to detour him. Miles took a few steps back then leaped forward with a flying kick smashing right through the wall.

"A part of me has always wanted to do that," Miles said. Miles continued down the path down a hill and then coming to a large cliff side. Miles stared up it noting it's large height. "Great, I guess I gotta climb it,"

"Just jump," Sonic said. Miles was about to say how impossible that was, but then again so was everything else that was happening. "You have my skills and powers Miles, so jumping up this little hill shouldn't be a problem,"

Miles sighed. "Okay," Miles crouched low to the ground trying to save up as much strength as he could. Miles then pushed off…extremely too hard as he went soaring over where his real target was. "AAAAHHH!"

The height was getting to Miles making him flail. Sonic decided that it was best he take over for a moment. The navy blue emerald began glowing replacing Miles's chocolate brown eyes for emerald green. Sonic curled up to fling his body toward another path that was much higher up. Sonic slammed on to a new path of the old castle grounds, however he hit it too hard. With it's fragile nature it began to fall apart.

"Oh, no!" Miles exclaimed.

"Relax, you'll be fine," Sonic said jumping from one piece of rubble to the other until he was on a sturdy path. Miles noted Sonic's calm, but alert perspective of how he moved. His muscles were relaxed enough that he wasn't stiff, and tightened enough so he could move around easily. "You gotta learn to stay calm under stressful situations Miles. Panicking doesn't help you when you're at least twenty meters in the air,"

"Well, it's all a little hard Sonic,"

"I understand, but I don't wanna take over for very long. That was your one freebie," Sonic said as the emerald began glowing again. Miles's eye color returning too normal. "Alright let's go,"

Miles nods then walks forward a few feet noting his heart wasn't racing too much. Thankful that Sonic actually hadn't taken over too long. Miles looked on ahead to see the lack of a path. "Now what?" Suddenly he heard a large noise behind him sounding like big monsters. Miles turned to see two giant Ferals. "Great, things just keep getting better and better…"

"Let's read em a story so they can go to bed Miles!"

"Right!" Miles exclaimed. Miles leaped up to unleash a homing attack. However, it wasn't fast enough as the Ferals dodged it. Miles however kept spinning until he slammed into a rock wall earning himself a headache. Miles slid down it in great pain. The Giant Ferals wouldn't give him a moment to lament. They pounced but Miles quickly got his bearings with Sonic's guidance and quickly shot forward past them. The beast both collided heads with each other. "Uh…I think I was supposed to make a joke of that right?"

"It's too late the moments gone," Sonic said groaning.

"Sorry," Miles said jumping back from a tail swing. "Just keeping mid battle banter is-," Miles cut himself off as his back foot touched the edge of the cliff. Miles instantly looked down to see the long, long, long drop down. Miles's heart fell. Again Sonic had to take over for Miles to bring him back to focus. Sonic flipped forward landing on the head of the first Giant feral. He then punched it directly in the eye making it howl out. Sonic flipped off to land against the side of the cliff clinging to it for a moment. This made the other feral leap at him. Sonic pushed off the wall then aimed an axe kick right on top of the ferals head make it collide with it's partner below.

"Gosh, you bozos sure are the clingy type," Sonic said landing harshly on his feet. Sonic curled up against the ground then began to harshly perform a spin dash. The Spin dash actually began to break apart the entire cliff. So the boom Sonic released as he shot himself forward was powerful enough to give it the final blow. Sonic then began running alongside the cliff wall then proceeding to leap from one cliff side to another. "Miles-,"

"You don't have to say it Sonic, I know. I'm a screw up. I couldn't stay calm, and I almost got myself killed,"

"Yeah, but-,"

"If it weren't for you I'd be falling to me death like those guys,"

"Maybe, but-,"

"I also messed up your homing attack, that's your signature move and I messed it up! I feel so ashamed,"

"Miles listen to me!" Sonic exclaimed. Miles grew silent. "I knew sooner or later I would have to step in no doubt about that. I'm glad you did make it this far without my help. You can't count yourself out before you even begin Miles. Your worried about not letting me down, and that shouldn't be your concern,"

"Really?"

"To be honest with you I want you enjoy these powers not fight to control them,"

"Enjoy them! Sonic your powers are the key to saving this world, I shouldn't use them like a plaything!" Sonic kicked off the side of a tower then flipped forward to land on another path. Sonic deemed it worthy enough for Miles's skill level. Sonic instantly switched with Miles. "Sonic-,"

"Have fun, relax, and be free. Once you do that it'll all just come to you, trust me,"

Miles noted the hedgehog said that a lot, but he always did. Miles looked ahead of him to see a straight path. "Have fun…" he muttered. Miles looked to the sky of darkness then looked out. He then charged forward in his Sonic style run. He decided to go as fast as his body could handle. Miles decided to take Sonic's advice to simply enjoy the moment. Miles pushed away his fears and doubts and simply ran. As he put each thing behind him, he started to feel lighter, and be able to run faster. Miles actually put up a genuine smile at how good he felt. He noticed the path was ending. He noticed though a few castle towers jetting out of the water beyond the fall. Miles dared not slow down lest his doubts and fears catch him. "Here goes!"

He decided to rely on Sonic should he fall, but he would soar. Miles leaped off into the air toward the first tower. Miles flipped forward to kick off that tower then the feeling of flight overtook him as he went through the air. Miles flipped forward again to place his feet against another tower then kicked off of it. He landed on another path that moved through the lower regions of the abandoned castle. Miles moved forward not allowing his doubts to catch up. Enemies showed up but he plowed right through them with blistering speed. Miles ran into a tower then ran out the other side. He noticed the path was out so he leaped up to slam into the window of the other tower.

Miles performed a somersault then crashed into the ground. Miles looked to the side to see steps. Miles quickly ran up them, but as he did they collapsed under his feet egging him to move faster. Miles finally made it to more solid ground to look around and see where his goal was. Miles looked and farther down the he could see a big door. He thought that this must be the exit of Kingdom Valley. Miles placed his feet under him as he leaped forward again this time leaping up onto a tower. He then began leaping from one tower rooftop to the next in order to reach his goal. Suddenly flying creatures appeared to get in his way.

"Dark Phoenixes," Miles muttered as he narrowly avoided one of the explosives they like to throw. "They'll go down in a second," Miles said. Miles grabbed a stem sticking out of the tower then twirled his body around to quickly kick back the explosive at the bird. It squealed as it was knocked out the sky, but another quickly took its place. Miles looked to see he had quite a ways to go before he reached his goal. "Maybe these guys can be my shortcut,"

"Imagination, a powerful weapon aint it," Miles leaped up to hogtie one of the birds then force it to collide into a tower, but he jumped off before it crashed. Miles ducked as another one dove at him. Miles then grabbed onto another as it passed him. He was able to gain some form of control to direct it toward the exit. The other birds were not keen on this, so much so they launched attacks at Miles to land the bird. Miles was in a tight spot. The longer he stayed on the bird the more likely he would get shot down. Miles looked for an escape route, but all he saw was a thick pole jetting from one of the towers toward his goal. "Time for a grinding lesson!"

"O-o-okay, but I'm no skater," Miles stuttered slightly. He dove off the bird just as it was shot down. Miles placed his feet underneath him, and tried with all his might to focus his eyes on the pole and nothing else. Miraculously, his feet hit it, and he began grinding it down to where the door laid. Miles went flying off the pole then quickly tried to gain control of himself as he approached the door. "How do I get this open?" Miles then heard a roar and then turned his head to see a giant boulder being hurled at him. "Yikes!" Miles yelled leaping out of the way. The boulder smashed the door open, but also revealed a powerful new enemy. Miles looked to see a giant monster that was half the size of the tower. "Okay, time to go,"

Miles dashed past the boulder just as the figure reached for him. Miles ran down the dark path. He noticed two sets of stairs, one going down and one going up. Miles decided to take the one going up. He ran as hard as he could, hoping he left the monster behind. Miles ran until he saw an opening. He ran through it to come to a wide-open field. Miles gaped as he looked at the way he came. The exit he came out of was similar to what he came into. He returned his gaze forward to see the dry and dying field. The field is grey, replacing the green grass, and the dirt dead feeling the moisture from it as Miles's walks against it. He felt it was as dry as concrete.

"Wow, this looked like it was a nice place," Miles muttered.

"Yeah…we should probably keep moving toward where I sense that emerald at,"

"Which is…?"

"Try…going…straight,"

"Very descriptive," Miles said charging. His body was near to exhaustion, but he knew he couldn't rest there. He had to at least reach civilization. Miles noticed the darkness was getting heavier, not so that he couldn't quite see where he was going, but enough to worry him. Miles looked up ahead to see lights, but not just any lights. Search lights waving around, probably broadcasting something. Miles picked up his pace enough to push himself fast enough to where he was quickly growing closer to the lights. Miles approached it, until he saw a cliff. He immediately stopped then looked down it to see a city the lights were waving from its outskirts. Miles also noticed many windmills around in the area. Miles also looked to see what looked like a giant tent of sorts.

"A circus…where are we?"

"If I had to guess Apotos,"

"Really!" Miles said. "Wow, I've always wanted to visit this place. I wonder if we might swing by Spagonia, or Empire City, and I'd definitely love to see the Mobian city Mobotrobolis…" Miles smirked. He was also a traveler by heart always wanted to see something new.

"Well we might just be traveling all over the world, so who knows? Only one way to find out!"

"Right," Miles said nodding then he leaped down from the cliff. "Onward to adventure!"
