The Brawl in Soleanna
- Soleanna -
The scene shifts towards the beautiful city of Soleanna. There were a few large bell towers set up in each corner of the city. There were also humans in the city that consisted of citizens and GUN soldiers. That's right, there were GUN soldiers scattered all over the city thanks to the invasions again that were happening by the Black Arms. They had set up defense barriers all over the city as in order of the GUN Commander and they were suppose to keep a strict watch of everything that was going on in the city, just in case something happened.
We move closer towards the city to see a restaurant that showed people eating from the outdoors of the restaurant. Over at one of the tables, Larcen, Marisa Harmon, Samson, and Kera were sitting together in one table. They already ordered their lunch and they were currently waiting for their food to arrive.
"Ah, it's great to be back in Soleanna." Marisa said with a smile. "Don't you think guys?"
"It has been a while since we came here." Larcen said. "After all, it was Samson's idea to come here and have the day off."
"True, amigo. Besides, I've heard that Soleanna serves the best spaghetti ever!" Samson said with a grin while he puffed light smoke from his cigar.
Marisa let out a small laugh. "Well, that IS true."
"How do you like Soleanna, Kera?" Larcen asked.
"To be honest, I've never seen anything like it before." Kera said as she looked at her surroundings. "There are more people in the city than I thought there would be."
Marisa took a look for herself. "Well, Soleanna is a big place, so it would be pretty reasonable as to why there are so many people here."
Larcen took a glace of the people for himself. He had to admit, there were a lot people in the city today. He also noticed something that caught his eye. "You guys noticed that there are GUN soldiers here, too?"
"That's the reason why it's puzzling me." Kera replied.
"What do you mean?" Larcen asked.
"Take a look. You usually don't see GUN soldiers here in Soleanna, don't you?" Kera asked.
Samson also noticed it as well. "She has a point, senor Larcen. Normally, the only ones that would be protecting Soleanna are the soldiers that serve Princess Elise."
"The question is, why are they here?" Kera added.
Larcen shrugged. "Who knows? Honestly, it's probably nothing to worry about. Right, Marisa?"
Marisa nodded. "He's right, guys. We're suppose to relax and have some fun today. Let's not worry about it right now. Okay?"
Samson rubbed his chin for a moment before smirking. "Your right, senorita Marisa. Besides, all this talking is making me hungry."
A distance away from the city, we see the three villainous duo of Eve, Cesare, and Wrath. Finally arriving near the city, the plan was about to be launched. They observed the scene in front of them. Indeed, there were GUN soldiers in the city and near the entrance as well. The trio were hiding in a safe distance where the soldiers couldn't find them.
"Excellent." Eve smirked. "So Black Doom was right after all. Those GUN soldiers think that they have created the perfect defense against us? How sad."
"Once the red clouds arrive and the invasion begins, we attack." Cesare reminded.
"Way ahead of you, there. I'm sure Wrath is ready, no doubt. Right?" Eve turned to Wrath.
The grey tiger's eyes narrowed as if he was waiting for his prey to come out.
"I think he's ready." Eve noted.
Cesare looked up towards the sky. "Here it comes."
Eve and Wrath looked upwards to see the familiar dark red clouds slowly heading towards Soleanna from the other direction where the trio were standing.
Back inside the city, we see a waiter serving food to our heroes, Larcen, Marisa, Samson, and Kera. Carefully setting each of the plates of food down in front of the right person. Larcen had a steak sandwich along with French-Fries, Marisa had a cheeseburger, Samson had a bowl of Spaghetti and Meatballs, and Kera had a bowl of Ramen. After paying the waiter, he left the group and headed back towards the restaurant.
Samson pulled out his cigar and licked his lips. "This looks really delicious."
"Agreed." Marisa nodded once with a smile. "Let's dig in."
Suddenly, they heard a woman scream. The group quickly stopped what they were doing and turned their heads in the direction of a scream.
"Up there! Those clouds in the sky!" The woman shouted as she pointed her finger up at the sky.
Everyone, including our heroes looked up to see the familiar red clouds slowly covering Soleanna. Citizens screamed at the sight while GUN soldiers quickly got into position.
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me, amigo! I was just about to get my face stuffed." Samson said in annoyance.
"Tell me this isn't happening again!" Marisa said as she looked up at the clouds.
Kera narrowed her eyes as the clouds started to open up. Black aliens started to fall from the sky as they landed on the hard ground. The GUN soldiers started to form up in a position.
"Attention all citizens! Evacuate and head for the main entrance gate that is to the north of here! I repeat; Evacuate and head for the main entrance gate that is to the north of here! We will stay here and take care of the Black Arms! Move it!" The GUN soldier informed.
The citizens wasted no time on following the GUN soldier's orders as everyone ran towards the entrance gate with a state of panic.
The heroes got up from their seats as they saw everyone heading towards the main gate.
"It looks like we're gonna have to help these GUN soldiers. There's no way they can take them all on alone." Larcen informed the group.
"Let's get going, amigos!" Samson said as he put his cigar back in his mouth.
"Right!" The group nodded their heads as they headed towards the center of the city.
The invasion was already underway. Black aliens started to cover the city while the GUN soldiers were trying to fight them off with their guns. Much to their dismay, the Black Arms were still winning easily as they fought back with their own weapons. It was complete chaos.
From the distance of the city, we come to a small island that consisted of a large castle. From the balcony, we see a female figure. She was a beautiful woman with short red hair that consisted of small feathers on the side of her hair. She was wearing a white dress, orange legs, and red heels.
"Miss Elise!" A maiden called, but the red-haired woman was still focused on what was going on in the city. "It's happening! The black aliens have invaded our city! What do you want us to do?!"
The woman, now identified as Princess Elise, spoke. "I feared that this was going to happen sooner or later."
"Miss Elise?" The maiden asked worriedly.
"The GUN soldiers are professionals on what they do. All we can do right now is hope for the best." Elise said.
"What about the Chaos Emerald?"
"Don't worry." Elise replied. "The Chaos Emerald is safe. They won't be able to find it. We just have to keep our hopes intact right now, okay?"
"...Your right. We must keep our spirits high and hope that this situation gets sorted out quickly." The maiden bowed before slowly walking away.
Even though she didn't like what she was seeing, Elise still kept her wits together and stayed strong. "Let's just hope that there won't be too many causalities after this is all over."
Back in the city, a group of GUN soldiers were trying to shooting their guns at an angry Wrath, but the grey tiger lunged towards them, knocking the soldiers down and dropping their weapons at the same time. The GUN soldiers were trying to fight back, but they soon found that to be impossible since Wrath was over-powering them. In the next minute, Wrath had taken out the defenseless GUN soldiers.
After glaring at the unconscious bodies, Wrath turned around in the direction of the castle. He knew his mission was to get the Chaos Emerald that was hidden at the castle, so he made his way towards the castle.
"Stop!"
Wrath turned around to see the four heroes standing some feet away from him. "Who are you?"
"We saw what you did to those defenseless GUN soldiers!" Marisa shouted. "Are you working for the Black Arms?!"
Wrath narrowed his eyes. "So what if I am?"
Kera spoke next. "What are these black aliens doing here?"
Wrath stared at the purple hedgehog. "That's none of your concern. However, if you are desperate to know, I'm here looking for a Chaos Emerald."
"A Chaos Emerald?" Marisa's eyes widened.
"Yes. And from what I have heard, the Princess of Soleanna is holding it in her castle." Wrath added.
"Wait, you mean..." Kera stopped mid-sentence.
"Yes. And I will destroy anyone that gets in my way of achieving that goal!" Wrath noted angrily as he got into fighting stance.
The group were somewhat taken back by this confession. Now that they knew there was a Chaos Emerald here, they had to find the Chaos Emerald themselves before the Black Arms got their hands on it.
"What do we do now?" Kera asked.
"Well, we have to see Princess Elise about the Chaos Emerald, but we can't do that if these black aliens are in the city." Marisa thought.
"I'll take care of him." Larcen spoke.
"Huh? Are you sure about this, Larcen? That tiger doesn't look like he's joking around." Marisa pointed out.
"No worries. I've faced far worse than this." Larcen reminded her.
"Well...that is true." Marisa slowly nodded.
"You guys go on ahead to the castle. I'll catch up with you later, after I take care of this guy. All right?" Larcen said to the group.
Marisa was slightly worried about him, but she figured that he'll be okay.
"Come on, amigos. Let's get going." Samson reminded the group.
Listening to Samson's words, Marisa and Kera followed him as they headed towards the castle, leaving Larcen behind to deal with an angry Wrath.
"So you want to be the next one to die, eh?" Wrath asked.
"Not a chance." Larcen said as he got into a fighting stance of his own. "I'll knock you out before you even get do that."
With that, Wrath made the first move by using his leg while Larcen jumped towards him by using his fist. The two attacks collided. Wrath's foot connected with the dark blue hedgehog's stomach while Larcen's fist made contact with the grey tiger's face. Neither move seemed to have any effect and it resulted in pushing each other backwards, skidding to halt as they stared at each other again. Waiting for the other one to make his move.
Larcen pulled out his dagger as he charged towards Wrath. The grey tiger saw him coming and ran towards with his claws ready to strike. The two collided again as a loud-metallic clash was heard. It was a battle of Wrath's claws versus Larcen's dagger, that were clashing with each other repeatedly. After a minute of doing this, the tide turned to Wrath's advantage as he used his foot again, connecting with Larcen's stomach once more, and sending him flying backwards with his back landing on the hard ground.
Wrath took this opportunity as he ran towards the fallen Larcen. The dark blue hedgehog slowly got back to his feet just in time to see Wrath coming towards him. Larcen used this opportunity to jump towards Wrath and punch him in the gut. He wasn't done there though. He continued the onslaught of punches and kicks on Wrath's stomach, making him stagger backwards. Larcen finished it off by jumping into the air and kicked Wrath in the face with full force, knocking the tiger off his feet and landing on his back in the process.
Wrath slowly got to his feet and glared angrily at Larcen. "You are stronger than I expected." Suddenly his body started to turn black and his eyes started to glow white. "But now, I must kill you!" After stating his words, Wrath dashed towards Larcen with amazing speed.
The dark blue hedgehog's eyes widened. He had never seen something like this before. That's when his necklace started to glow green around his body. His dagger was also glowing green as well. Seeing the monstrosity getting closer, Larcen met Wrath head-on with the same speed as the tiger. Both of them striked each other once again. Wrath with his claws, and Larcen with his dagger. Another loud metallic clash was heard and a large source of black and green energy exploded. The explosion killed the aliens that were around Larcen and Wrath.
After the explosion died down, the two fighters were no back to thier normal selves as they stared at each other intentionally while breathing heavily. After a moment, Wrath spoke.
"You are very lucky today." Wrath said.
"Huh?" Larcen raised en eyebrow.
"Lucky that I don't get to kill you right now. As much as I would want to do that, I'm afraid that I have more important business to attend to." Wrath noted as he jumped towards a building an ran off in a different direction.
Samson, Marisa, and Kera were quickly making their way towards the castle to see Princess Elise about the Chaos Emerald that she is currently holding. Some of the black aliens were trying to stop them in their path, but that proved to be fruitless as Marisa launched fireballs, while Samson used his pistols, and Kera using her Dragon Sword to cut down the aliens. Each one of the aliens were falling to the heroes one by one thanks to their efforts, but they still had a while to go before they reached the castle.
"There's just no end to these to black aliens." Marisa sighed.
Samson puffed some smoke from his cigar. "And yet, we still haven't reached the castle."
"All we can do is just keep going. If we can get to the castle in time, we might be able to beat them to the Chaos Emerald first." Kera noted.
"I wouldn't say that if I were you." A voice said.
The group turned in the direction of the voice on where it came from. It was Cesare, who currently had a smirk on his face.
"Who are you, amigo?" Samson asked.
"My name is Cesare." The crow greeted. "I see that you have learned of our plan about the Chaos Emerald. I'm impressed."
"Wait, your in this too?!" Marisa asked.
"But, of course." Cesare replied. "I've been recruited by the Black Arms to help them seize the Chaos Emerald that our dear Princess is holding at this very moment."
"Sorry, but there's no way that we are going to let you do that." Kera said as she pointed her Dragon Sword in Cesare's direction.
Cesare raised an eyebrow as a sign of interest. "Tell me. Are you swordsman?"
"That's swords-woman, but yeah, you got it right." Kera replied with a smirk.
"Then I propose a challenge." Cesare said as he pulled out his longsword. "I challenge you to a duel! You and me, one on one! A battle of the swords! What do you say?"
It didn't take long for Kera's response. "I accept."
"You sure about this, senorita Kera?" Samson asked.
"Don't worry about me. I'll stay behind and take care of this guy. You and Marisa go on ahead towards the castle. They must not get that Chaos Emerald." Kera noted.
"Right." Marisa nodded. "Let's get going, Samson."
"Right, amigo." Samson replied as he and Marisa ran off towards the castle.
Once they were gone, Cesare and Kera shared a stare down with each other, waiting for each other to make the first move. After a moment of waiting, Cesare made the first move by dashing towards Kera. The purple hedgehog met him head-on as they both clashed swords with each other. Each metallic clash they made could be heard almost anywhere. It soon turned into a test of strength with Cesare gaining the momentum, but it didn't last long as the Dragon Sword began to turn yellow, shooting electricity at the crow. The crow's eyes widened at this but he quickly had a backup plan.
"Demonic Formation!" Cesare shouted as the aura around him began to glow.
Thanks to the aura surrounding him, it stopped the electricity in mid-attack and shot it back towards Kera. The purple hedgehog was shocked by this that she didn't have time to dodge the electric attack that now made contact with Kera, electrocuting her. She fell to one knee after begin electrocuted by her own attack. Seeing his chance, Cesare dashed towards Kera, hoping to strike her with his sword. However, he didn't realize that Kera had recovered from her own attack, so she surprised him as the Dragon Sword turned light blue, shooting ice towards Cesare's feet, freezing him in his tracks. It was now her chance to turn things around as her sword turned red, shooting a stream of fire at the crow. Cesare yelled in pain as the burns on his arm started to effect him. His chest was okay however, due to wearing armor.
Cesare used his aura to break the ice after the burns on his body faded. The two glared at each other again.
"Ready to give up, yet?" Kera asked with a smirk.
Cesare took a few breaths before smirking. "As much as I would love to continue this with you, I'm afraid I must call we must call it a draw for today."
"What do you mean? Your just giving up?" Kera asked.
"Oh no, it's just that I'm not at my full potential today. All I wanted to see how strong you really were." Cesare replied.
"And?"
"I'm afraid I can't say more. I must be going now." Cesare said as he turned around and ran off in the other direction.
Kera was confused by this action. What in the heck just happened there? Why did he suddenly leave after calling it quits? It was just all too strange.
The two remaining heroes, Marisa and Samson, kept running towards the castle while taking out more of the black aliens along the way.
"We're getting close to the castle, aren't we?" Marisa asked.
"It should be. I remember seeing it when the invasion first happened." Samson replied.
"So it's in this direction, then?"
"That would be the most logical answer." Samson answered as the two continued to move forward.
"I wouldn't suppose that you two would be after the Chaos Emerald, are you?" A female voice asked.
The two stopped and turned to see Eve, whom was standing on top of a building. The white cat jumped from the building and landed in front of the duo.
"Let me guess. Your with the aliens too?" Marisa asked.
Eve glanced at her outfit. "And why should that matter? What matters is that garbage your wearing on yourself. It looks horrendous."
Marisa narrowed her eyes angrily. "Come again?"
"Face it, that outfit of yours is nothing but pure trash. And your hair color is terrible. Just like that princess and her short-haired brain. I'm just more beautiful looking than you are, human." Eve smirked darkly.
Marisa's fist tighten as the words of Eve started to anger her.
"Excuse me, senorita." Samson spoke.
"Huh? What do you want?" Eve asked with annoyance.
"Listen up. You may think your all high-and-mighty with your words, but that will only get you so far." Samson said as he puffed some smoke from his cigar.
"What are you talking about?" Eve questioned.
"Let's be honest here. Any woman that wears what your wearing would look absolutely ridiculous." Samson noted.
"What?!" Eve said in anger.
"You heard me, senorita. I just just couldn't bare the fact of seeing senorita Marisa or senorita Kera wearing that awful outfit. And besides, I can't women like you. Thinking your more beautiful than anyone else. That just shows how truly despicable really you are." Samson finished as he puffed more smoke from his cigar.
That was just about it. Eve had just about enough of this as she pulled out a large scythe from out of nowhere and pointed it at Samson. "Shut up! You don't know what your talking about! I'm better-looking than anyone in this stupid planet!"
"You go on ahead, senorita Marisa." Samson whispered. "Get to the castle while I distract the witch."
"All right." Marisa nodded as she was about to take off before stopping. "Oh, and Samson?"
"Yes, senorita Marisa?"
"Thank you for sticking up to me. That was really cool of you." Marisa smiled.
"It's what are friends for, amigo." Samson reminded her. "Now get going."
"Right." Marisa nodded again before dashing off towards the castle.
When she was gone, Even and Samson had a stare down with each other.
"So, you intend on taking me on alone?" Eve asked with a smirk.
Samson pulled out his trustworthy whip before striking it once on the ground. "I've never been one to fight girls. However, your an exception that I can't refuse."
"Then I'll make sure that you regret it!" Eve said as she raised her scythe into the air.
"I'm afraid it's YOU who's going to regret it." Samson said as he puffed more smoke from his cigar."
Around five minutes later, Marisa finally arrived at the castle. She finally made it. Now all she could hope was that the Chaos Emerald was safe.
"I better go see if the Princess is all right." Marisa said to herself as she went inside the castle doors.
After entering the castle, Marisa looked around to see where Elise could be. That's when her eyes widened in the middle of the room.
The dark familiar figure known as Mephiles was holding a yellow Chaos Emerald in his hand. Next to him was an unconscious Elise. For some reason, however, he didn't see Marisa standing at the door.
"Finally, the Chaos Emerald is mine." Mephiles laughed evilly before disappearing into a cloud of dark energy.
After he was gone, Marisa ran towards the fallen princess to see if she was alright. Indeed, Elise was unconscious but she decided to help her nonetheless. She placed on hand underneath her head as she slowly lifted it. Marisa used her other hand by releasing light healing magic into Elise's head. When she was done, Elise slowly opened her eyes.
"Are you okay, princess?" Marisa asked.
Elise moaned slowly as she looked to see who it was that spoke to her. "W-who are you?"
"My name is Marisa Harmon. I'm here to help you." She replied.
Elise held her head, trying to regain her composure. "I...I think so."
"Can you tell me what happened to you?" Marisa asked.
"Well...all I remember is that I went to check the Chaos Emerald, but when I got there, something attacked me and I was knocked unconscious." Elise replied.
Marisa looked down on the floor. She remembered seeing that figure the moment she opened the castle doors. She couldn't tell what or who it was, but something was telling her that it wasn't good news.
Outside the door, the large shadows that covered Soleanna started to disappear. Marisa went to see what happened. She saw that the red clouds were gone, and everything was back to normal.
"I'm guessing that those black aliens disappeared?" Elise asked.
Marisa turned to see Elise slowly walking towards her. "Princess, are you sure your going to be okay?"
Elise nodded. "I'll be all right. Thank you for coming to check up on me. I feel very grateful." She bowed.
Marisa smiled. "Don't mention it."
After leaving the castle, Marisa was met by her friends, Larcen, Samson, and Kera, whom were making their way towards her.
"Hey guys!" Marisa waved.
"Marisa! Are you okay?" Larcen asked with a concerned voice.
"I'm all right, Larcen. What about you guys?" Marisa asked.
"We're fine, amigo." Samson smirked while puffing more smoke from his cigar.
"Is the Chaos Emerald safe?" Kera asked.
Marisa slowly lowered her head. "I'm afraid that the black aliens beat us to it."
The group slowly lowered their heads in shame. Now that the Black Arms had a Chaos Emerald in their possession, our heroes could only hope but wonder where they will strike next.
Thanks to these new villains, the Black Arms now have a Chaos Emerald. Will our heroes find a way to make up for their loss of the Chaos Emerald? Where will the Black Arms strike next? And how will the Sonic Heroes and Sailor Scouts react to this news? Find out on the next Black Conquest!
