CHRONICLES OF FATE
Chapter 4: Static Cling
Shadows of Destiny
Why rebel against Destiny? Because it doesn't benefit you.
Location: Metal City
Area: Highway system, heading towards town square.
Time: 7:34 pm.
"Don't let the target escape!" A soldier yelled.
"Just try to catch up." a voice responded.
In the hustle and bustle of metal city was a shadowed figure, weaving it's way through the torrent of the citizens along the sidewalks. Apologizing as the figure ran through, the civilians couldn't even pay attention as their focus lay on the entities chasing after it.
Several feet above the civilians flew several G.U.N robots. The metal city automatons were sleek frames with bulky ivory armor surrounding their torsos. Instead of feet, the mechanical creations had slightly bent rocket boosters, adorned with red and silver armor, which could resembled animals on their hind legs. The left arm of the vicious robots, covered in scarlet armor, were shields which could be linked to the protection of the bullets. The right arm, however, hid a a rather large cannon to which any civilian could guess it's use. In middle of the robot were engraved writings saying,
Elemental Hazard team
Seven cybertrons soared straight over the civilians, prompting few to cower down in fear from the rush of wind. Pushing between the crowd were several G.U.N sentries, armed with several sub machine guns with red dot sights. They began to bark orders, forcing the civilians to pave a path straight for the hidden entity.
"Fire if you have a clear shot!" A soldier barked out, aiming down his sights.
Some soldiers came to a stop and knelt down trying to get an aim, others continued forward. The lone mobian running away from the soldiers could only grin at the thick headed attempts of G.U.N. The figure suddenly felt the urge to give the soldiers exactly what they wanted. If they wanted to fight him, he'd give em exactly what they wanted and then some.
The figure banked left and ran through an alley with soldiers in hot pursuit. Even though regular alley's were known to be quite narrow, the escapee noticed how much space was located inside this area. He figured at least five minivans side by side couldn't even fill this place up. Though he ran for a long time, he finally came upon the dead end of the alley- exactly what he was looking for.
The unidentified escapee skidded to a stop, a small puddle of water below his feet. Instinctively, he was raised his arms into the air showing he was unarmed. The G.U.N sentries and robots shortly followed; several soldiers knelt down and brought aim towards the figure, red dots appearing all over the mysterious figure.
He merely looked at the dots before starting with, "Don't I look good with these dots?"
"You'd look good in prison stripes." A separate soldier inquired gruffly.
"Nah man, those attires have no fashion..no pizazz." The escapee responded, gesturing with his hands.
"How about we make you a special suit?"
The soldiers in front of the figure moved slightly away to make room for a more larger soldier who seemed to be the leader of the bunch. The new soldier was extremely bulky with platinum armor on his legs, arms and head. His torso was a scattered arrangement of black and red metals, with the letters EHT engraved in the center. Attached to his back was a platinum arch which really served no purpose but to distinguish him from the other ranked officers. In his right hand was standard EHT spear with a large prongs pulsating with blue electricity.
With a wave of his hand, he gestured towards the soldiers to turn on their flashlights. Upon command, dozen of lights flew out, outlining the mysterious escapee.
"Dang man, lower the light show a little." the figure yelled, slightly irritated.
The lights revealed a golden dog with dirty blonde chest fur, the fur resembling the shape of a a heart. The canine had spiky medium blonde hair that peaked up, however most if not all the dog's hair was covered due to the red and white Christmas hat located on the top of his head, the puffball on the top radiating a jet black hue. One thing that stood out about the hound was a golden boomerang shaped bang of hair on his head. His eyes were strangely coal black, almost fake like. It didn't matter as his eyes seemed to be shielded with jet black sunglasses that he used to shield the flashlights. Around his neck was an orange bead necklace which had a green and orange jack-o'-lantern in the middle of it. He wore a sleeveless snow white hoodie which is partially open revealing his chest fur and physical figure. On the back of the hoodie is an ebony cross with a skeleton chained to it, a rose between its teeth. His shorts were a light black and gray, a black bandana wrapped around his left knee. In his back pockets are two white, black and blue scarves that hang down. The final touch is a pair of white and black sneakers, lightly soaked in water laying in the alley.
"Damien Angels, by order of G.U.N, the Elemental Hazard Team request that you admit defeat and return to G.U.N" The EHT general said, his voice firm.
"Any be probed by wires and violated in so many ways?" Damien questioned, feeling queasy from the thought, " NO thank you, I'd have to be a lunatic to be into stuff like that."
"Is that your final choice?" The general questioned.
"Let me think about it...YES!" Damien responded, adamant about his decision, " Why else would I would stay away from you guys.
"Ok then, soldiers, full force ahead!" The general bellowed, watching his soldiers run forward.
Many ran toward the canine while the others stayed behind an began to shoot off rounds of ammo. As the bullets whizzed through the air, Damien could only smirk. He lead up from the air, watching the bullets impact the metal wall behind him. He leaped to the left, evading the bullets, before pushing his feet against the left wall. The force of his feet sent him zipping towards the three soldiers that previously rushed towards him.
As he approached the enemies, he held his right hand out, watching a shell of dark violet energy weave around his fingers. Soon the dark energy formed a much larger replica claw of his hand. In seconds, the soldiers fell down as Damien slashed right through them, his right claw pulsing with energy.
He immediately gestured towards the rest of the soldiers and said, " Anyone want more?"
The dog's taunting managed to provoke seven soldiers toward him. Of course, the dog didn't need to feel any worry. They were just G.U.N soldiers after all. A rush of lilac wind began to encase Damien as he began to spin horizontally, rapping the wind all around his body. The hurricane like spin began to absorb the soldiers into it's eye, against their will.
Damien slammed into the seven G.U.N soldiers, his powerful force ripping their armor away along with a shockwave sending them flying past the general. However, Damien wasn't done yet. The canine kept up his rotation and began a course straight for the general himself. General remained in his normal stance and awaited Damien's attack with no worry at all. The lilac storm collided into the General, the full force unleashed upon him. The only problem with this was that the attack did not affect the general. In the lilac hurricane, Damien whipped around before dealing a crushing punch against the general chest. The force from Damien's punch didn't match up against the general, abruptly ending the canine's attack.
The general let out a loud chuckle, but Damien wasn't laughing.
"Hehe, I never noticed how strong and handsome in that armor you are." Damien joked, slowly backing away from the EHT general.
"I suppose that's all you have?" the general asked, seemingly unimpressed.
With a snap of his hand, more soldiers came running into the alley, fully surrounding Damien.
"Surrender!" the soldiers yelled.
"Over my dead carcass." Damien sneered.
"That can be arranged." the general responded.
Damien immediately held his hands around his body, a ray of static began to pulsate around him. With a stretch of his hand, Damien released a shockwave of electromagnetic energy into the soldiers. Though they felt no pain, the soldiers felt a force of energy repel them into the metal wall surrounding the alley. When they tried to move, their armor would be attracted to the wall, keeping them lodged there to witness Damien vs the general. With all the soldiers disposed, Damien only had to deal with the general and he'd be home free.
"Ok, incredible hulk, your next." the golden hound said, smirking cockily.
"What power could you possibly use to stop me?" the general spoke, clearly over confident.
"I'll give you a taste of my signature move." Damien muttered, his eyes lighting up.
Damien's stance tensed and his right arm came out in the open. Like a vortex, raging winds of dark chaos energy began to swirl around into Damien's palm. Static and sapphire electricity began to pulsate through his fingers as the concentrated energy began to skyrocket. The energy began to mold into a sphere of dark energy, neatly fitting in the hound's palm. Smiling, the golden hound lifted the orb until it was level with his hip.
Immediately he charged forward, orb of energy in hand. The general stood his ground and took a swipe with his taser spear. Damien easily weaved around that until he came face to face with the general. Though his face was shaded by his armored head, the general could still feel fear emanating from the sphere Damien held. With a smirk, Damien uttered the two words of his signature ability.
"Dark Repulsion!" Damien screamed out.
The canine thrusted the orb of dark energy into the chest of the general, the orb breaking into his armor. Within seconds, a dome of chaos energy began to form between Damien and the general as the orb of energy began to expand. The dome finally busted from the pressure, sending the general skyrocketing away from Damien, a stream of dark energy following. He went zipping out of the alley and crashed into the opposite area of the alley, frighting the civilians all around.
Some civilians began to scope out the general-dead. Others reluctantly checked into the alley to find only knocked out soldiers and other sentries stuck to the wall. However, the causer of the ruckus, all the damage, was gone.
Location: Metal City
Area: East Town Square
Time: 8:57p.m.
"Ha ha, even when I'm holding back, another few bite the dust." Damien chuckled, running through a crowd.
The golden hound weaved his way through the oncoming crowd of metal city, the citizens oblivious to the mishap not long ago. As Damien reached a good crowd of mobians, his pace descended to a soft jog as he began to scope out the entire area around him.
Only Megalo station could rival the beauty that was metal city. Though not as advanced, this city managed to pioneer the technology of Mobius. Unlike Megalo, there was only one level of this entire city. The entire city was filled with cybernetic skin like roads which managed to loop their way around this piece of land. As any city, large buildings surrounded the entire area. However the buildings carried what could be the most unique part of the city. Each building had the ability to merge a hallway into other buildings, allowing people to migrate between both buildings. This ability could have people saying the entire city was connected.
Damien himself was found in the hustle and bustle of the town square. Dozens of stores stacked on each other were located around each corner, filled with local citizens. A rather gargantuan fauna garden was located in the middle of the square with various wildlife thriving for all to see. If oncoming citizens need to reach higher metal city stores, metal plates located among the ground acted as open elevators to escort the citizens away to their desired location.
The golden hound himself wasn't going skirt shopping but was rather leaning for a quick way to escape from G.U.N and their hazard team. From recent word of mouth, it took Damien little time before he found out exactly why G.U.N was in such a hype.
"Elemental breakout." Damien uttered, walking by a few citizens
A few months ago, a project labeled: Solaris sparks was undergone to salvage the pieces and relics from the Soleanna god, Solaris. Pieces were recovered successfully, under Elise's nose, and were studied for future super soldier testing. Unfortunately, things got hectic.
The relics, or sparks as G.U.N called them, were uncontrollable. Just getting near it was enough to stir up negative energy from the sparks. During a few tests, a stray soldier managed to excite the sparks, causing a chain of unnatural reactions around the base. A nuclear explosion soon resulted, spreading a few of the relics soaring across the sky.
G.U.N became frantic. They exhausted all of their available resources to scour the world in search for the remaining Solaris fragments. It wasn't long before they found them. Their super soldier project did work, but not in the exact way they expected. Normal Mobians stumbled upon the fragments and some unexpectedly managed to bind with the fragment, bestowing upon them, elemental powers.
It wasn't a problem. Just contain the enhanced civilians and find a harmless way of extracting the fragments without a problem. Easy, right? No. Many started to enjoy their powers. Not every Mobian can be like Sonic the Hedgehog or better. With this outrageous opposition, G.U.N created a special Hazard team to round up all spark holders to be quarantined in G.U.N until they could extract the sparks from their bodies.
Well two days ago, during testing, a few spark holders managed to escape. How? No one was sure. The hazard team has been searching all around this planet just to find the users.
Damien let out a sight before falling back, landing roughly into a bench, watching the oncoming civilians go by. He lifted his arm up to his eye sight, scoping around his fingers. The hazard team had been looking for the users so much that they had begun rounding up normal mobians who happened to be blessed with abilities. Damien himself had been under G.U.N patrol. Even the dog himself wondered exactly what his powers were. It was hard to understand his powers and evade the G.U.N agents at the same time. Was it worth all this running away? One day, he would stop and face all of this, friends or not.
The dog was quickly brought out of his thoughts when a symphony of screams began to ring out. His altered jet black eyes leveled up to see hundreds of citizens running west from the his direction. Immediately, the hound knew this had G.U.N written all over it.
He immediately hoped off the bench and skipped over too one of the many bushes around the square garden, thoroughly watching the citizens run away. It wasn't long before gunshots began to sound, signaling more screaming.
"Could they have found another elemental user?" Damien questioned.
He continued to silently watch as a string of G.U.N beetles flew forward before turning around to cut off any escape. His eyes shifted over to see several hazard team sentries running forward, guns blazing. However, what intrigued the hound wasn't the soldiers but what they were chasing. Out in front of the soldiers was a turquoise hedgehog, sprinting away from the sentries.
The figure was a young turquoise furred hedgehog and looked to be nothing but a measly ten years of age at least. The young anthro had two turquoise bangs flowing down from the side of his head along with spiky hair flowing backwards. His eyes were a mix of goldenrod and light gray and gave a look of fear and despair. His muzzle was a snow white hue coupled with a frown. Protruding from his back were two weird drooping spines which had zig-zagging lightning bolts etched around each one. His outfit consisted of a dark blue, short sleeve shirt with golden octagon symbols etched around the lining. On top of the dark blue shirt was an unzipped light blue jacket with amber gems embedded on the short sleeves. He wore light blue knee length shorts with a dark blue belt. Attached to his right arm was a golden metal bracelet, its appearance adorned with weird sparks of electricity. Adorned on his left arm was a sapphire charm bracelet. He wore dark gray shoes with a golden metal cover and blue trims. To complete his look was a golden necklace holding a turquoise gem.
Damien could only watch as the young hedgehog tried to evade the soldiers while navigating between the G.U.N beetles. Even Damien had trouble facing these enemies so he knew the kid alone couldn't handle them. The hound felt conflicted on whether leaving his spot or helping the young hedgehog. If he left, G.U.N would be on his ass, but if he didn't help the little guy, then he could suffer. And if there was a chance that he wasn't even a spark holder, then he deserved to be free from these tyrants. Everyone wants to be free from turmoil, right? Why rebel against Destiny? Because it doesn't suit you.
The G.U.N beetles hovering over the fox escapee , let out a short burst of bullets in front of the running anthro, causing him to trip over the potholes. The young hedgehog fell hard to the ground, skidding across the stone ground. Immediately, he raised himself of the ground, seemingly in a daze. His arm reached to the back of his head as he tried to comfort himself, tears streaming down his eyes. No more time did he spent crying did echo of the steps come to a stop, the soldiers stopping right above the kit's body.
As the beetles hovered in circles around the azure anthro, the soldiers slowly walked up on the hedgehog, examining the injuries of the young boy.
"Ok, sedate him and bring him back." The first soldier whispered.
"User #21, Azure Magnum." the second soldier replied, looking down at the boy, " Ok, take him in."
"Dark Meteor Repulsion!"
The soldiers quickly turned their gaze to see a dark flaming fireball soaring towards their direction. The orb of fiery dark energy impacted the ground before expanding, engulfing the soldiers and beetle robots. The orb slowly grew in size before erupting in a furry of raging dark fires, its purple glow emanating around the area. The turquoise hedgehog quickly scrambled away from the explosion, watching in awe as it's fearsome energy eradicated the area. He came to rest five feet from the explosion, watching a shadowed figure approach him. The turquoise hedgehog quickly scrambled away from the figure, but the shadowed mobian quickly reached out, offering comforting words.
"Hey hey kid, its ok." the figure, revealing himself to be Damien.
The hounds words seemingly comforted the young kid, " Your not G.U.N are you?" the young hedgehog asked.
"Nah, I would die before I join those sleezeballs." the golden dog responded, " The name is Damien..Damien Angels, and from what I heard your name is azure.."
"Azure Magnum, thanks for the save Mr. Angels." the young kid said, a wide smile on his muzzle.
"Mr. Angels?" Damien said. "That makes me sound old, just call me Damien." he said, slightly chuckling.
"Sure mr..I mean Damien." the hedgehog clarified, a toothy grin of his face.
"Well you seem much better little guy." Damien chuckled, " When G.U.N came after, you were crying, now look at you all calm and happy."
With the mention of G.U.N, all the gusto in the kid's face vanished," It didn't used to be like this." he said, ears drooping in sadness.
"Oh, sorry little guy. I didn't mean to hit a nerve." Damien spoke, slightly guilty.
"No, its ok." the hedgehog soothed, I just wished things would go back normal so we could go home.
"We?" Damien questioned.
"Yeah, me and my twin sister." Azure clarified.
"G.U.N's picking on little kids now?" Damien muttered in disgust.
"Everything was normal until we both got hit by some shard, then my sister said our parents went into a deep sleep and we had to leave and not disturb them." the hedgehog recited, "Then the bad masked guys got us and stuck us in a creepy room but my sister managed to help get us out. I got out..but she didn't come out." he explained.
"Your parents went into a deep sleep?" Damien recited, thinking about the obvious lie the azure had been told.
"Yup, my sister said to play tag and that she was it." Azure said, " She wanted me to run and not look back or she would find me and I would be it."
"Oh." Damien said, fearing the worst from the young kid's story, "Do you have anything to remember her by?"
"Sure!" the turquoise mobian said in excitement.
The turquoise hedgehog reached into his shorts pocket and pulled out a small medallion to which Damien gazed out silently. Out of Azure's pocket was glowing turquoise medallion in shape of a star. However something was different. The medallion was severed in half and the hedgehog seemed to have the right half of the star.
"We both have a medallion which was split in half." Azure said, gazing at the star, " My sis has the left and I have the right."
"Hey, I have something like that too." Damien yelled out.
The hound himself reached into his pocket and brought a gold star medallion, its radiance casting a glow stronger that Azure's. However, unlike Azure's, Damien's was a full five sided star, not broken in half like the young hog's.
"Cool! Yours is so awesome Damien." the azure hedgehog screamed in excitement.
" Hehe, yours is pretty cool too." Damien said.
The golden dog then began to walk away, the young hedgehog gazing on.
"Wait! Where are you going?" the azure mobian yelled out, starting to grow scared.
"Where am I going?" Damien questioned, " I don't know where I'm going but I know WE'RE going to find your twin sister."
Damien could only blink once as the azure hedgehog ran up to grasp the dog in a tight bear hug, his azure eyes brimming with tears, " Really sir?"
"Remember, call me Damien and sure. Your game of tag isn't over yet. This time, its your turn to tag her." Damien said, winking at the young hog.
"Sure!" Azure agreed.
Damien put out his hand and Azure firmly grasped it in a handshake. The moment the two confirmed the handshake, the stream of static traveled across their arm.
Damien instantly pulled away, shaking his hand, "Ouch, static shock."
Azure, however, went frantic, " Damien I'm sorry about that."
"No worries kid, its just static shock." the golden dog said, " Anyways, lets go."
"That wasn't static." Azure mumbled, running after the dog.
TO BE CONTINUED
A/N: well I thought I'd get this up. No more updates until the end of may because I'll beginning extensive studying for my final exams at school. I'd thought I'd get this out so you guys wouldn't think I disappeared again.
To avoid confusion, so you know which scenario the chapter is about, the name of the scenario will appear below the chapter name so you know what story your reading about. This scenario is Shadow's of Destiny
Also, can you guess what Azure Magnums ability is? I made it a little too obvious but if you guess it right, you get a spoiler question of your choice.
Slash, tell me if I got Damien right
TRIVIA
Azure was originally meant to be a fox but I made him a hedgehog for no reason
This is technically the first scenario unveiled. The last 3 chapters are part of a scenario but those chapters are considered the prologue.
This is one of my favorite planned scenarios, you see when this story gets farther.
