The Destiny Crest
Victor kept on searching through the thick dark parts of the forest and then found a ring lying in the nearby river. It was silver and at its centre was a sapphire. But what the true meaning of this gem was, still lay a mystery. Even as Victor held it in his fingertips up towards the shining sun he thought, 'Very interesting. So this is the famous Destiny Crest. No wonder those hooded guys are looking all over the universe for these things. I'd better find the gang and round them up.' "Leaving so soon." Victor turned around and low and behold he saw a figure in a black cape. The man had blonde hair, his skin was pale and white, his clothing was very dark bluish in colour. He was about six feet tall and he had a dark aura about him. His boots were black with a grey skull on each boot and his gloves were grey with bats as symbols covering his knuckles. He also had a purple masquerade mask on his face that curved at its ends to resemble bat wings. Victor smiled smugly and said, "Myotismon. I never thought you could actually come back to life. I mean you saw what Angewoman did to you and don't forget about back in the Digital World all those years ago." Myotismon raised his cape and yelled Crimson Lightning. As he did he jumped in the air and launched a large whip of red light towards Victor who took out his transparent sword of light and then sliced it into a million pieces.
"Oh come now!! You can't expect to beat me like that can you?" Myotismon then said, "If I were you, I would give over the Destiny Crest now boy!!" "Or else what? You'll actually fight for real? You know what's really sad is? You villains keep on getting sadder and sadder every day. You try to achieve the same little goals you seek out to do, but you always fail. Speaking of which, how in the world did you get here anyway? I thought only a selective few of mortals, data like yourself, and fate chosen could leave their home worlds and travel the universe." Myotismon then teleported and kicked Victor to the ground, but before he could grab the Destiny Crest, Victor used his Light powers to speed up and grab it. Myotismon then teleported in front of Victor and then created a dark portal behind him. He then continued, "Does that answer your question? Now then listen well boy. You and I have unfinished business to take care of and since you too can go into the worlds, tell those little pests of yours that we'll only keep on coming and coming until every hero is all defeated." Victor then thought for a moment and said, "So you're part of the Squadron I take it?" Myotismon nodded and said, "The Lord as he calls himself knew why we suffered and also requested that in exchange for helping him, we'd have our revenge on our enemies. That means in my case those pesky Digidestined." Victor tried to close his mouth for as long as he could, but couldn't help, but laugh. Myotismon then growled and yelled, "Might I ask what's so funny?" Victor continued, "You're really a sucker for punishment aren't you? This Lord you're talking about has no need for guys like you and I guarantee he won't keep his end of the bargain. Mark my words Myotismon, he will kill you." Myotismon then disappeared into the portal and Victor then thought to himself as the portal closed, 'I'd better go warn Tai and Kari about this. Oh man, this is déjà vu all over again. I mean what is this? A family reunion?' Victor then heard the sound of grunting coming from the woods and ran off into the thickets.
As Mickey stared down the hooded man, he looked all around him and saw an army of hooded men as well circling them. Mickey then said, "I guess some dogs never learn new tricks do they Duffleburgin?" The hooded man tore up his hooded suit to reveal a hedgehog no bigger than Mickey himself. He was black from head to toe, his shoes were white with black soles underneath, his hair like fur had grey linings, wore white gloves as well as white rings around each glove and each shoe he wore, had a white set of spoofed up fur on his chest, and his eyes were green like that of emeralds. Mickey gasped and then said, "Wait a minute!! You mean to tell me that the guy I fought with all those years ago was…" "A simple hedgehog from the Land of the Chaos Emeralds. It has been so. Thanks to Sonic however, I shouldn't even exist. It was so perfect. I became Solaris and could have ruled all. No. It was all too perfect. It was thanks to that boy. That same boy who helped his friends find the chaos emeralds. (Play Sonic the hedgehog for ps3 since some of the facts laid before you are in that game.)" Sora looked to everyone else and they all just shrugged. The grey hedgehog then said, "Regardless, I've got my orders. Attack my minions!!" From each hooded man came copies and copies of the hedgehog himself and they began to float in mid-air as did the grey hedgehog himself as well. He also began to glow purple.
"I hope you're ready your majesty. Because I'm looking for a re-match. Hahahahahaha." The hedgehogs then began to charge at the group in the thousands as the hedgehog powered himself up and began to created hundreds of copies of himself. Sora slashed twenty, Riku ran towards a tree with many of them right behind him and did a 'wall jump' behind them and slashed them in mid-air. Henry ran towards hedgehog himself and then jumped in the air to stab his heart, but was intercepted by one of his copies. The copy then picked Henry up and threw him to the ground hard. The hedgehog then teleported towards the boy and then said picking him up at the armour, "Why we need you just for some silly door I'll never know. Either way you're coming with me kid!!!" Henry then yelled as he struggled, "Never. Let go of me!!" As he struggled in the hedgehog's arms to set himself free. The copies began to overrun the group and slowly Sora, Riku, Donald, Goofy, and Kairi were clumped together in one short group. Mickey meanwhile holding off forty guys at once, blew them away with his Sword of Balance and his keyblade and then saw the grey hedgehog holding Henry to his right and Sora, Riku, Donald, Goofy, and Kairi getting overpowered to his left. Sora kicked one guy, grabbed another guy by his face and quickly stabbed him and then karate flipping another guy behind him. Riku even slashed a guy that tried to grab onto Kairi and said holding off another hedgehog copy, "There's too many of them. We gotta get out of here." Sora then asked, "Where? There's nowhere else to go. We're surrounded."
Mickey then looked right, left, right and then left again. 'How do I get into these situations anyhow? Oh well.' Mickey quickly charged with his weapons and slashed the copies of the hedgehog surrounding the gang on the left. Sora said, "Thanks. You're a life saver." The hedgehog was floating towards the sky with Henry in hand, but before anyone could react to this, a boy in a white hooded suit teleported and grabbed Henry. Henry's eyes brightened as he yelled, "Victor!! You came!!" Victor then pulled off his helmet and said smiling, "What can I say? You're like a little brother to me. And brothers stick together. Looks like more déjà vu all over again, eh Mephiles?" As the entire group looked at the hedgehog and then he laughed considerably and said, "So you're the pesky insolent fool that defeated me a few months ago. How perceptive. I would have never thought that a mere child could handle the likes of the darkness. Tell me Victor, how does it feel to have such great power in your grasp?" Sora then yelled, "You've got nerve!! You tie up an innocent girl, try to attack us and kidnap our friend Henry and now you're trying to taunt us?" Victor then said, "Let it go Sora. Mephiles is a coward. He like the rest of this little groupie they call a gang are nothing, but cowards!!" Mephiles then snapped his fingers and a dark portal appeared behind him. He then said, "That's right foolish boy. Let the hate flow through your mind. Let your anger spew out of your gullet." As Mephiles disappeared into the dark portal, Sora ran and jumped towards him, but went right through him.
Mephiles then said in his final words, "We shall meet again, boy!! I guarantee we shall!!"Moments after they untied Pocahontas, the group sat down and listened to every word Victor had to say about his encounter with the Destiny Crest and Myotismon. Victor apparently faced this enemy over nine years ago with a bunch of kids around his age who had data like friends called Digimon. Long story short they won the fight with a few close calls and sacrifice along the way. Even with Mephiles, Victor faced him as well with Shadow and Dr. Eggman with Sonic as well as Iblis and Solaris with Silver and all the hedgehogs together in the kingdom of Soleanna. Victor then went on to say that the Destiny Crests were a set of eight rings created by the Kings and Queens of Saryu, Terraneus, Ailiana, and Sanshobi in order to seal off a 'great monster' that used to terrorize their planets eons ago. If the rings were ever brought together, it would surely mean the resurrection of the beast and the doom of the universe as a whole. The Destiny Crests also had a distinct power that was not like that of the powers within the keyblade. Unlike the keyblade, the Destiny Crests did not unlock peoples' and worlds' hearts, but could unlock souls of the living and the deceased. "With that kind of power, there's no telling what the Squadron could do if they got one of these bad boys!!" As Victor passed it around to the group, Pocahontas then said, "Now that you mention it, my tribe did see another hooded man on the cliffside a couple of days ago with one of those. He said he was going off to a world they call, the Under Sea Dome." Victor then gasped and said, "Oh no!! I'm too late then after all." Sora then said grabbing hold of Victor's broad left shoulder, "There's still time to get there Victor. Plus we have a Destiny Crest. That means we're sure to face them anyhow so we'll just take it from them." Victor then shook his head and said, "It's not that simple Sora. These rings are really powerful. We would have to destroy the possessor of the ring in order to claim it. The rings are so powerful that they simply latch on to their master until he has no desire of possessing them and those guys won't give them up so easily." Pocahontas then said, "Here take this. It's the least I could do for you all since you saved my life." Sora was handed a whistle and as he blew it a white portal appeared and Victor snapped his fingers and said, "Perfect. With that whistle we can go to any world we want to. Can I count on you to take care of it Sora?" Sora nodded and then Pocahontas said, "I wish I could be of more assistance, but I have to go back to my home now. My father's most likely really worried by now." Mickey then walked towards Pocahontas and then smiled saying, "My have you grown. I remember the very first day I came here and your father made me swear to protect you no matter what. I just never thought so much time could pass by so quick." As the group entered inside the portal, Victor stood outside and then said, "Not to be a pain, but we have some business to take care of, if that's alright." Mickey turned facing Victor and then turned to Pocahontas and continued, "Take care now, ya hear. And once you see your father, tell him I said Hi will you Pocahontas?" The girl nodded and soon enough, they were off on inside the portal.
Meanwhile inside the Squadron's HQ, Mephiles and Myotismon were bowing before 'The Lord' in the main throne room of the building as a testament for mercy in their time of failure. "So I see both of you failed me. Myotismon, you failed to bring me the Destiny Crest and Mephiles you failed to bring me the boy. I swear you're both lucky I don't end your miserable lives right now!!", The Lord said punching a piece of his chair as the top half fell to floor. Myotismon then replied, "I have failed oh great one, but if you give me a second chance I know I will not let you down!!" Then a laughter appeared. A tall green being with a giant cone like helmet on his head, an insect like body, and a muscular like physique then said, "You both couldn't even fight your way out of a paper bag!!" Mephiles then replied to the comment, "Perhaps that can be arranged for your funeral Cell!!" "Enough!! All of you!! You work for me now!! So long as you all are under my wing, you do as I command. Mephiles you will take the southern quadrant of the universe and Myotismon will take the north." As Mephiles and Myotismon disappeared into dark portals, Cell then appeared in front of the Lord on his throne and then bowed down asking, "What would you ask of me to do then oh master?" "I have a special job for you Cell!!" Then Cell was transported to another location inside the main HQ of the Squadron.
(Well I did say there would be crossovers so there ya go. Just a tiny taste of what's in store.)
