Trez's darksoul is unleashed and the resurrection is nigh!

Chapter 9: Nushaia Awakes!

Flora fell from the wall where she was chained and hit the ground. Trez ran to her and took his wife in his arms. There was no breath or heartbeat from her.

"…Flora. NO! YOU WITCH!" Trez roared as the darkness in his soul took over and sent him rushing at Serene with his eyes filled with blood lust. Serene went down and was savagely beaten by Trez.

" Heh, go ahead. It won't bring your beloved wife back from the dead. Soon, the goddess of chaos will awaken." Serene said. Trez held his arm out where black flames surrounded it.

" You're right… But it's going to feel good! Die you murderer!" Trez yelled as he tried to finish Serene off, but found that he couldn't move his arm. When Trez whipped around, he saw Ghost holding the blade back. Techno immediately walked over to the body and began to examine it.

" What are you doing, Ghost?" Trez asked.

" Stopping you from making the worst mistake of your life!" Ghost replied while he tightened his grip.

" Let me go! She killed Erin and Flora! She started all this! I have to finish it!" Trez yelled. Techno placed his hand on the red puddle next to the body. The violet scientist felt the liquid and tasted it. Almost immediately he spit it out.

" Trez! SIT!" Techno shouted. The pendant around Trez's neck got heavy and forced Trez to lie on the ground.

'What was that?' Scribbles wrote.

" The pendant I gave Trez has a failsafe that generates a high gravity field causing the wearer to fall. But, that's not important right now. That isn't blood it's motor oil! That is not the real Flora but an Omochao that Serene made to closely resemble her." Techno explained.

" It did the job for me. Trez's darksoul is ripe and ready for Nushaia!" Serene cackled and took off. Flash and Scribbles took off after her while Trez struggled to get up. Ghost stood watching his rival rise.

" Ghost! Get out of there! Trez's darksoul will take over any minute!" Techno yelled. Trez rose with a dark aura surrounding him and sent Ghost flying through a wall.

"Trez…You can't let that thing take over! Think about Flora and Death!" Ghost reasoned. Trez stopped for a moment. In his mind, a familiar voice sounded.

" Trez! Stop it!" Erin said as she sobbed uncontrollably. Ghost closed his eyes and somehow saw into the mind of his friend. The white chao saw a beautiful girl in a white gown crying.

" Who are you?" Ghost asked her.

" I'm Erin. I have been watching over Trez ever since my death. It seems as if I can't get through to him, but maybe you can. Please, you must stop him before it's too late!" Erin pleaded. Ghost rose to face Trez with Erin's words in his mind.

Outside, Maverick looked at a sensor that was on the car.

" Boomer! I'm getting a metallic reading underground!" the blue chao reported.

" Well, what are we waiting for? DIG!" Boomer ordered. Red, Maverick, and Hood began to dig into the ground when Bud brought an orange chao who held a small red button.

" Here he is, sir!" Bud saluted.

" In case you haven't noticed Standbyer, we are at our limits with these Omochao and we need your standby skills to help us. If you cooperate with us, we set you free and erase your records. If you team kill, we'll execute you without a second thought!" Boomer explained. Standbyer silently bowed and walked off to survey the situation. The three diggers pulled up a blue capsule with a green glass cover. The cover slid open revealing a hologram of an old man in a lab coat.

" It's…Dr. Thomas Light!" Boomer exclaimed.

" So, you've come… X, I gave you the ability to choose your own path in life and I hoped the world would allow you to choose a peaceful one. But, now it seems like you are destined to fight. Because I thought the world might need a new champion, I have… Wait! You aren't X! Just get in the capsule… I didn't wake up for nothing." The hologram sighed. Boomer hopped inside the capsule and received a suit of armor meant for Megaman X! This armor was jet black and closely resembled a ninja. The rest of the troops hopped in and donned the Shadow Armor.

" Sweet! Let's go kick some Omochao butt! This time we make our stand!" Boomer yelled as the troops dashed off.

Flash and Scribbles managed to keep on Serene's tail until they reached the dungeon where Scribbles decided to freeze her feet to the floor. Flash grabbed Serene by the throat.

" Where's Flora?" Flash growled.

" Flash? I'm in here!" Flora called from a cell. Scribbles iced the bars and made them brittle. Flash then broke the bars with a well-placed kick.

" Can you walk?" Flash asked as the two boys helped Flora to her feet.

" She broke my leg. But, I'm worried about Trez." Flora said. Elsewhere, the battle between Ghost and Trez raged on. Trez knocked the sword out of Ghost's hands and pinned him to the wall.

" It looks like this is the end for you, Ghost!" Trez sneered as he held the blade close to his opponent's throat. It was then that Flash, Scribbles, and Flora limped in.

" Trez! No!" Flora screamed and limped in the way of the blade.

" Flora… You're alive!" Trez exclaimed as his dark aura began to fade. The gray chao then dropped to the floor writhing in pain. A dark cloud poured from Trez's mouth and took form. In seconds, Trez's darksoul stood there. Outside, the sky turned blood red and dark clouds swirled around the castle.

" I sense a vessel…" a voice hissed as a purple haze seeped in from the windows and was absorbed into the darksoul. The eyes glowed red and a red gown adorned the vessel.

'Is it?' Scribbles wrote.

" It's her, Nushaia!" Ghost exclaimed.

Nushaia awakens! Review and prepare for a major fight on both sides!
