Chapter 9: Ben's Triple Trouble! The Inheritance of Digital Courage!

Last time in the Tales of the Cosmic Wars Ben's second officially mission as an Enji Knight in training had begun. It seemed that the United States of the Zeon Federation is acting even more aggressively than expected and is all ready forcing worlds under its control to use as fuel for deadly weapons of massive destruction with the intent of giving a brutal bloody victory to their side as quickly as possible. Since the Enji Knights did not really feel fond of letting that happen Grand Master Myers and the masters have sent Ben and Squad 7, along with Lacus and her team, Ezan and his team, and Brad and his team to the aid of the world of Mobius to free it from the grip of General Ginias Sahailn.

After landing on the world and sneaking their way in to meeting the GUN commander under Twinkle Park to get a better grasp of the situation Squad 7 meets up with one of the hero's of the planet, the artificially created sudo ultimate life form Shadow the Hedgehog, and set off to the Mystic Ruins to find the best and most famous hero of Mobius, the speedy fun loving adventurer Sonic the Hedgehog! Ben goes forth with even more determination as he seeks to prove to everyone, especially those like Lacus and Ezan that his destiny to wield the Star Sword and save the universe is neither a hoax or a fluke, but little does he know that as hard as the mission seems to be, that the true scale of the ominous winds blowing is more than he is ready for!

The mission starts off good enough when Ben and co find Sonic's long time pal Tails 's place, and while the two tailed fox is not there Sonic 's, aggressive girlfriend Amy Rose is there, and helps the group figure out that Sonic and Tails are at the floating Angel Island with their friend Knuckles the Echidna! With this the plan seems simple enough but there path gets derailed when they are ambushed by robotic Zeon troops commanded by a native turn coat, the weasel Fang the Sniper! While Fang has some of the newest Droid hardware, some mysterious white monsters and even a foe from Cloud's past, the mercenary from the hidden mist clan Zabuza Momochi looking for revenge could not stop the hero's! However, while it seemed the battle had been won the truth was that things were just heating up, when Fang and Zabuza were brutally blasted by even more ruthless enemies!

Ben was then roughly introduced to two elite members of the group of powerful deadly warriors who freely embrace the power of darkness and have mysterious ominous goals. These two elite members of the Organization of Dark Enji are Axel, the man with the title of the "Flurry of the Dancing Flames" and Demyx, the man with the title of the" Melodious Nocturne"! It seems that the two black wearing man are really more on the world for their own cryptic desires but they are more than willing to help Ginias destroy the Enji Knights they also despise! After Axel shows how ruthless he is by coldly killing Fang and Zabuza without a second thought Ben realizes he is once more all ready in for more than he bargained for, but never the less for the sake of everything defeat is not a option! Can his team and Shadow overcome the odds? Only one way to find out, so with the force of a sonic boom it's time to race onward to are next chapter right now!


And so we now today's episode but before we begin back on the battle brewing on in the Mystic Ruins we quickly check to see how another Enji Knight unit is doing, and that would be the team Lacus is on! And as we do such a thing it seems Lacus, the rest of her squad and Rouge have successfully managed to break in to the Zeon occupied base on Prison Island and have managed to rescue the hostages with out to many casualties. Thankfully for them the prison on the island was mostly being run by GUN forces that pretended to turn over to the Zeon side and once the Enji arrived they quickly showed there true colors and helped insure not only that the Zeon forces could be swiftly defeated before they could call for reinforcements, but also insure that the deaths would not be as bad as it could be. Never the less people still died in the cross fire and at the moment Lacus is using some healing magic to patch up some GUN soldiers.

While Lacus is very skilled at white magic she and the others have not been able to get to some of the wounded in time and Lacus is currently seeing some guards removing the dead from the area. Lacus sees that some of the dead are even children before she clutches her right arm in disgust and takes a deep breath. Terra and Collette are with her and Terra sighs before saying,"

Lacus, it's all right to be upset. This is your first true mission, it's expected to be pained at such horrors. If you need to sit down for a moment I can cover for you."

Lacus flicks back some hair and goes over to another soldier while saying,"

It's ok Terra, I am upset but ill manage. I'll feel better by saving more lives anyway. It's just; to think they would treat even children this way. The Zeon Federation has no official cleansing program right? Then why, why are they killing people so carelessly?

" Terra looks saddened and says,

" It's because some of the races that are part of the Zeon Federation like the Skrulls, the and the Brutes of the Covenant have a long history of contempt for the humans that so populate the cosmos and are using this war to unleash that hatred. But, it would be wrong to say it's just a race issue, the human Zeon soldiers seem to be acting just as brutally, if not more so. Sadly, it's just like what I seen in the Gestahl Empire on my world, sometimes humans can be so cruel to everyone.

" Collette is feeding a dog that is warmed up to her, even though it was a Zeon hound dog and somberly smiles before she says,

" I saw the same thing on my world to. The hatred the Half Elf Desians had for the humans only brought in more hate in return, and it was that hatred that drove Mithos to such a bitter extreme path. Sometimes people seem to want to hate more than anything, but I know the hate won't prevail, I refuse to believe it! We have to help everyone see past the hatred, and stop those who are so willing to hate! I believe that every one of us combined will be able to take down whatever nasty machine the Zeon forces are building!"

Some of the GUN agents and native Mobians cheer at this and Lacus takes a deep breath while seeing many war machines in the distance and saying,

" Hopefully that will be the case. I, do hope between what we have and the people of this world that we will have enough. I know Ezan is suppose to be very skilled, and Brad's strength is great to but, I wonder if that will be enough. I mean, Ben's group seems, still very inexperienced."

Terra shrugs and says,'

The Masters had faith in Squad 7, since Ben was your old friend I figured you would have just as much faith.

" Lacus looks slightly agitated at her Captain's choice of words before she says,"

I know Ben has trained hard and if the Star Sword really is legit then he does have the power to make a different. Still, I do know Ben and, if he is the same person he was back then, I am not sure he can handle this kind of job, the burden it comes with. Ben, can sometimes be out of touch with how things are.'

Collette giggles and says,"

Ben is just a dreamer like Lloyd Lacus; there is nothing wrong with that. Ben seems to be able to handle himself, he was cut off from everyone and still came out alive and even saved another world in the process."

Lacus looks at her team mate and says,"

That's true, the Maverick hunters did prove that that's the true story. Still, Ben, most of the time he just seems so, childish, like he does not realize just what the reality of the situation is.

"Terra goes up to Lacus and giggles while saying,"

Why are you so hard on Ben Lacus? You almost seem to be trying to find an excuse not to believe in him.'

Lacus blushes and says," No, it's not that Terra. I, guess after all of this time I still am getting use to Ben being back in my life. He, thinks we can be as close as we use to be but, he has to realize that's impossible. "

Collette looks confused and says," Why is that impossible Lacus? Ben just wants to be your friend right? I thought you two were good friends for a while?

" Lacus rolls her eyes and says,"

We were close Collette, very close. But, that's when we were children and now we are adults. I don't have time to pretend and be a child anymore."

A worried Collette and Terra are about to retort before Yuna and Rouge run over to them before the female bat creature says,"

Normally I love girl gossip but we will have to cut it short. Some Zeon battle craft are flying this way, looks like the people we posed to play as their buddies are not cutting it and that means we better scramble.

" Terra nods and says," Got it. All right, Lacus, Collette, let's get everyone to the GUN submarine so we can try and meet up with the others."

Lacus nods and says,"

You got it Terra. Everyone, fallow me!" Lacus grabs Pablo and gives a smile of assurance before she guides everyone to the exit. She sees the boy refuge looking happy and saying,

" Thank you for helping me Miss Lacus. Those Zeon men are scary, but I feel safe being with such a pretty and strong lady.

"Lacus giggles and says,"

Thanks, I promise you won't have to die as long as you're around me Pablo." She then picks up her pacing as she thinks of what she just talked about and says,"

Ben, does everyone really believe so easily that you're a chosen warrior? Or, am I just taking what Brad said to seriously? Ben, it's not even that I don't trust you; it's just, I wonder if you really know what you are in for. Well, no matter what I do hope you survive to figure out if you can."

With this Lacus realizes she has little time to keep up her inner monologue and focuses everything on getting her job done. However with this we now leave the female Enji and her squad, to see just if Ben can survive like Lacus said!


And as we now turn back to the main hero's of this story, and as we return to where we left off on Ben last time it seems that he, the rest of his teammates, Shadow are preparing to find out just how well Axel lives up to his reputation! Ben is circling around Axel as he and the others are preparing to try and find the best way to attack. Axel sees them all looking nervous and chuckles before he says,"

What is this, a dance or a fight!

"Doug chuckles back and says,

" Keep talking wise guy, right before we slam that mouth of yours for good!" Cloud sees Doug looks like he is ready to charge before he curtly says,

" Cool it Doug, he is egging you on because he wants you to give him an opening. We can't afford to give him an inch."

Axel forms a devilish grin as he twirls his ring like weapons and says,

" What, too polite to make the first move? Fine, if you insist ill be all to happy!"

Axel at once throws both of his weapons at Ben and Cloud! Ben just barley manages to dodge out of the way and still gets slashed across his right arm! Cloud manages to dodge the incoming sharp object his way but to his shock the moment he does Axel is behind him and before Cloud can even turnaround he grabs his red colored object with one hand and unleashes a powerful fire ball from his other arm, blasting Cloud hard in the back! Cloud instantly stop drops and rolls to put out the fire and Axel takes delight at seeing the Enji Knights pain before he says,"

Man, at this rate we will be done here before I even got fired up! "

Cloud forms a confident grin and says,"

Please, if that's the most you can fire things up ill crush your fire in a heartbeat. "

Axel chuckles and says," My, more snarly then that cold face lets on eh? All right, you're on! "

Axel then throws both of his Charkams and has them both become consumed with fire as they head for Cloud! Cloud sees the duo of deadly objects are causing a trail of fire to be left in their wake and causes energy to pour in to his large blade. He then says,"

Great, this is going to be a real work out before we even find the Zeon Base. Whatever, that's how it is." Cloud then unleashes a powerful blue energy sword wave to blow both of the deadly wheels back and also blow away the fire with the force of the energy! Axel jumps up to catch his weapons and looks amused," Not bad, clear you earned the right to be called an Enji Captain spiky. But, in the end that still means your nothing compared to me! Oh?"

Axel hears something and glances to see Ben charging at him with the Star Sword before easily blocking the incoming blade. Ben continues to slash at the red haired man in front of him while saying,"

Even if that is true you punk, your still finished! After all we are all here to back Cloud up!

" Ben then unleashes a overhead swing but Axel casually blocks the slash with his own weapon and says,"

HAH, with back up like you who needs enemies? "

Axel tries to impale Ben with his spiky rings but Ben manages to dodge the strike. However, Axel fallows up with a swift kick to Ben's jaw that sends him crashing to the ground! Axel just continues to laugh as he twirls his rings around and has fire once more blaze around them before he says,"

Heh, that Lylat Kingdom really is a bunch of idiots if they think sending packs of amateurs will ever get, GUH!"

In an instantly a black blur proceeds to smash Axel in the gut before he is knocked back! That blur reveals himself to be Shadow before the GUN agent smirks and says,"

We are not all amateurs you freak. Time you learn your place, Chaos Spear! "

Shadow instantly forms a spear of yellow chaotic energy in his right arm and hurls it at his intended target! However Axel shows he is not one to be put down so easily as he quickly recovers from his injury and then spin his charkams s around very quickly to despairs the magical energy! He keeps up a slick grin as he then says,"

Touché you black insect. But the fact still stands that you're all dead meat. The only question that remains is how long you idiots are going to drag this out! "

Cloud shrugs and says,"

Guess there is only one way to find out." With that both Cloud and Shadow go to attack Axel and while Doug tries to join in to fray only to nearly get burnt again by a wave of fire! Doug then jumps back and says,"

Damn it, this guy is hard core all right."

Ben at last recovers from the blow his enemy inflicted on him before he sees Axel fight off his squad leader with a crazed look. He then says,

" That's one way to put it. He was both stronger and faster to me and it seems he is not even fighting seriously, talk about feeling weak."

James shrugs and says," He is one of the elite order of a very powerful group of beings Ben; don't feel like it's your fault. Yes, it seems the Dark Enji sadly live up to the rumors; hopefully we will be able to take him down. Well, he seems to be found of fire, maybe that means water attacks will hit him hard."

With that everyone hears another laid back laugh before the trio turn around and see Demyx chuckling with amusement! The Dark Enji with the gelled hair looks amused and says,"

Man, that lame plan is the best you idiots can get? What, we look like chumps to you? No way us elite beings are going down to such un sway plans! Still, Axel may got this in the bag but at this rate it could take a while. And, there is no reason to make this be a drag if I can help it!"

Demyx then extends his hand and water forms around him till it takes the shape of a blue guitar like weapon called a sitar that he named Arpeggio. Demyx strokes a few cords before grinning and saying,"

With you idiots as pathetic as you are, this will be an easy wash out! Come out guys!"

With that Demyx plays on his weapon and the Genji sees white strands of energy blast out of the ground before Ben sees the same mysterious white creatures from earlier form once more, with taller red armored beings forming in between them! Ben gets wary as he says,"

These guys again? What are they your pets or something?"

Demyx chuckles and says," Please, Like I would want to bother taking pests on walks. No, this is the mark of our Organization, the Nobodies! "

Doug rolls his eyes and says,"

First those dark beings that Vile and Nightmare used and now Nobodies? It's like someone had a garage sell for lame freaky grunts!"

Demyx shrugs and says,'

Hey they may be too stylish for your dumb senses to realize but they are far from lame! Theses Nobodies are forged by are magical energy, and are extensions of our will! They can go far and last longer than lame clones! So, with that, hope you guys are cleared up, it's always better to die with clarity right? All right, let's work up a killer tune boys!

" Demyx plays a few cords on the blue object he is holding before Ben gets annoyed and says,

" Don't think just because we are new to this that we are helpless you idiot! "

Ben then goes to dodge one of the smaller Dusk Nobody's attacks before stabbing it to take it down. Another Dusk then lashes him across the back but Ben takes the hit and roundhouse kicks the Dusk to the ground before taking it down as well. Another Dusk tries to hit Ben's neck but is shot and shattered by a energy arrow from James. James fires another volley of arrows as he says,"

That's right, we were chosen because people have confidence in our ability to get the job done, and none of us feel like failing!"

James sees one of the larger Nobodies, the Dancer class then extends its arm to try and punch James but the red haired Enji responds by having his hands glow before saying,"

Now, time you learn not to dismiss what even rookie Enji Knights can do, Quake!"

James then unleashes a powerful earth magic spell to cause the ground around his enemies to erupt and form jagged stalagmites that impale most of the Nobodies! Some of them jump up but Doug is ready for them as he grins and jumps up himself before saying,"

Eat this you albino freak shows, Thousand Steel Hurricane kicks!"

With that Doug unleashes a barrage of lighting fast kicks that pummel the rest of the Nobodies hard! Dymyx gets annoyed as he sees his summoned minions shatter as they touch the ground before he narrows his eyes and says,"

Oh man, don't make this hard, you're going to die anyway! After all there is no way someone as radical as me is going to ever be taken down by the three musketeers of fail!"

Doug chuckles and says," For being a washed up surfer moron you sure are one to talk about failing man. Seriously, even your music is the worst then claws on a chalk board!"

Demyx looks annoyed and says,"

Whoa man, haters may got to hate but don't go dissing my vibes or I might get a little too peeved off to remember to kill you smoothly!"

Ben points the Star Sword at Demyx and says," Well, you're the one who want to kill us, don't get mad when you walk in to something you can't handle!"

Ben and Doug both charge at Demyx before the Dark Enji all of a sudden has a angry face form as he says,

" Oh I'll show you what I can handle!"

With this Demyx strikes his sitar hard, and causes a powerful geyser of water to blast up beneath Ben and Doug before they even realize what happened! As the duo hit the ground hard and wet Ben coughs out some water before groaning and saying,"

Great, so all of these Dark Enji are like elemental masters or something?"

James eyes his foe intently as he says,"

Seems like it, we better be ready for anything if he could cause such a powerful spell in an instant."

Demyx snickers and turns to Axel behind him before saying,"

Hey Axel, I changed my mind! Theses rookie punks are getting on my nerves so ill teach them a few things while you keep the big shots!"

Axel dodges attacks from both Cloud and Shadow before unleashing a wall of fire to try and burn them before he glances at his comrade and says,"

Hey, you're not taking what is mine you lazy flip flopper! Huh?"

Axel sees Cloud come at him with two swords before blocking both slashes with his own weapons. Shadow tries to go for his spin dash attack to hit his target while he has his hands full, but Axel just grins and has a wall of fire flare up around him to knock back both fighters! Axel then looks at Ben and says,"

You should know I can roast theses Enji cockroaches in the blink of an eye!"

Axel then charges at the three members of Squad 7 before James clenches his fist tightly and says,"

This fire has burned enough, I summon you queen of ice! Come now Shiva!"

With that James has a barrage of green and red orbs form around him before a mystical blue symbol then appears in front of him, and Shiva appears!"

Axle stops his charge before looking amused and saying,"

Oh, so you're a summoner as well are we red? Even for a pack of rookies you're full of tricks I see."

James just points his hand at Axel and says," Told you we were picked for a reason, now Shiva, use Diamond Dust storm!"

Shiva then unleashes a powerful blast of ice that seems to be freezing solid the entire area around her! But as the ice hits Axel he just gets annoyed and has fire blast out of him before he says,

" Hah, no way any spirit can cool me off! "

Axel then has his charkas rotate fast before he unleashes an explosion of flames that melt all the ice, and blast away Shiva! James gets hit with the fire as well and as he grunt out in pain Axel chuckles darkly before he says,"

If you play with fire, you're going to get burned, got it memorized? Demyx, I told you this was my show so stay out of it! You don't even like fighting anyway!"

Demyx looks pouty and says," That's because I am not big on the whole bleeding thing dude. But these guys are too weak to hurt me so it's all clear!"

Ben is worried at seeing his friend in pain before he says,"

James, are you all right?" James nods as he is all ready using his own magic to suppress the burn before he replies with," Ill manage, but we better find a way to win fast."

Demyx chuckles and then says," Oh man, still trying to be calm? Forget it, you guys are finished!"

Ben starts to get angry before he says,

" There is no way I'll ever be defeated by an idiot scumbag like you!"

Demyx gets annoyed and tries to stab Ben right there, but Ben kicks some water up with his Star Sword to get water in his opponents eye, and then kick him in the face! Ben grins at seeing Demyx having a bloody lip before he says," Well, guess despite being good with water, your not its master!"

Demyx gets annoyed and says," Oh, think we are so clever huh man? That was just a cheap shot, don't think you have anything on me! Bah, guess I'll just have to smash some sense in to you on just what this beat is!"

Demyx then all of a sudden has water from behind him and give him a boost! He goes to attack Ben but Ben side steps his charging foe and gathers all the energy he can before saying,"

How funny, I was going to say the same thing!"

Ben instantly swings the Star Sword and unleashes all the strength he has in to an energy sword wave blast! Demyx is shocked at this before he says,"

Oh, OW!"

Ben sees his attack is hit dead on, and causes Demyx to lose a chunk of his side! Ben wipes some sweat off his forehead before he then says,

" Well, guess I am stronger than I thought. Looks like your all, huh?"

Ben is shocked to see Demyx flinch, before his entire body turns blue and dissolves to water! Ben slowly moves forward before he says,"

Or, he was weaker than I thought. What kind of life form is made out of water? Is, GUH!"

All of a sudden a barrage of solidified water spheres smashes Ben in the back and sends him crashing to the ground! He instantly hears the same cocky laughter before he looks up and sees Demyx looking smug on a rock above Ben! Demyx continues to jam on his weapon like a want to be rock star while saying,"

That's because it was made out of water, cuz it's a water clone sucker! Nice try man seems you do know how to fight. But despite what you think I know at thing or two, or three about fighting to! And I never just head right in to a fight without knowing who I am dealing with, even if they look like total lamers! If that's the best you got its time to smash you down the drain Enji! Cause it's clear that nothing you got will, huh?

"Demyx spots a glimmer of light before he turns and sees a massive blue wave of energy coming for him! Demyx panics and sidesteps out of its path, but still gets hit in the face! Demyx yells out in pain as he sees blood fall from his face before his eyes widen and he says,"

No, MY FACE! How dare you peons hurt me!

" Demyx sees Cloud land on the ground before smirking and responding with,

" Seems you should have more than one decoy when you fight wise guy. Enough, you wasted are time long enough. Demyx sees Axel still fighting Shadow and now Doug behind Cloud before he wipes the blood off his face and says,"

You want to end this blonde? Oh ill end it, ill end it with a bang!

"Demyx unleashes a water geyser right at Cloud, and the Enji Captain responds by sidestepping the spell. However, as soon as he is out of the painful surge of water's path to his shock Demyx is faster then he figured and is all ready coming down from the sky, ready to try and stab his heart with the sharp part of his Sitar!

Cloud manages to block the strike but to his horror that is just what Demyx expected because his foe instantly grins and extends his free hand, before he snaps his fingers! Before Cloud can react water explodes around him before Demyx laughs and gleefully says,"

Got you now Enji, Water Prison!

"Ben and the others are shocked to see that Cloud is now trapped in a sphere of water! Demyx then puts his hand over the sphere to cause the water's color to turn dark blue before he sees Cloud glaring at him and says," Don't blame me that you fell for my slick power Enji! Now I got you right where I want you to! Seems you're the strongest of the bunch here, and that means it will take a while to drown you.

But that's ok, as long as I keep my hand inside you're not going anywhere till I say so! Even if you're a Enji Captain, with my magical energy this water is stronger than steel and that water is too heavy for you to move a finger! You know what that means? IT means for ticking me off your going to have no choice but to watch as those who trusted you are going to die before your eyes before we get to you!"

Cloud is outraged but to his horror Demyx is true to his word and Cloud can barley use his energy to keep himself from drowning! Ben sees this and says,"

Cloud Sensei, no! Damn it, I underestimated him, but he really was more deadly then he let on. But, you're not going to get away with this Demyx! All we have to do is get that hand away from Cloud and your spell is done! And if you think you can fight us off with only one hand, you got another thing coming!"

Demyx then looks amused before he says," You know what, you're not so witty come backs are really boring dude so, I'll show you that I can and I WILL drown you all like the rats you are!"

Demyx then slams the ground with the Sitar before water explodes out behind him! He then has a murderous smirk before he says,"

It's high time we end this; we do have bigger things to do then waste time on runts! Die, as you know what true power is! Torrential Whirlpool Slam!

"Ben and James are horrified to see that Demyx is clearly not playing around, as the water forming above his Arpeggio is taking the shape of a giant raging watery cyclone! James looks alarmed as he then says,

" Damn it, we have to hit him before he can fire that off! "

James goes to aim an energy arrow and Ben tires to ready a spell but Demyx just laughs and says,

" To slow weaklings, SO LONG!"

Demyx then smashes the ground with the cyclone he created, and this causes it to break in to a giant wave of water that roars right for Ben and James! The duo struggle to figure out what to do but there is no time, as moments later they are smashed by the water! Doug, Shadow and Axel were out of the vicinity of this attack and as Axel sees Ben being swept away he gets annoyed and says,"

Damn it Demyx, ill teach you not to step in to my fun! "

Doug looks horrified as he sees Ben and James being swept to the edge of the area in the horizon before he says,"

No, Ben, James! "Shadow then grimaces and says,"

They will be swept right off the area, I can make it!"

Shadow at once dashes off to rescue the two but Axel snickers and says,"

Don't think so Shadow, better get use to despair because that's all you idiots are getting! "

Axel spins his charkams around and creates a wall of fire to block Shadow's path! Doug tries to dash right through the fire but the heat is too much for him before he then says," NO!"

Everyone then sees Ben and James fall right off the cliff and fall down to the depths of the Mystic Ruins below! Demyx laughs madly and says,"

HAH! I could have flooded the entire area but I rather not get my man Axel angry. Besides, you're all finished.

"Doug gets furious as he glares at Demyx and says,

" That's it, you're dead, Busting Machine Gun Punch!"

Doug then charges at Demyx faster than anyone expected and unleashes a barrage of angry punch's that collide in to Demyx! Demyx gets hit but the first blow but then gets annoyed and dodges all the other punches before then smacking Doug to the ground with his Sitar! He then snickers while saying,"

Looks like you can't handle the truth man! Too bad, because it's true that nothing you got can hurt me! Huh?"

To his shock he sees that Shadow is all ready in the air above him, looking quite angry! The black anti hero has red energy gather around him before he then says,

" Don't push your luck you creep! Chaos Blast!"

Shadow then goes all out and unleashes a powerful yellow blast of energy right at the Dark Enji! Demyx has his eyes bulge as he then says,"

Damn it, where did you hide all that power!"

Demyx tries to bat the blast away with his weapon but he quickly finds its more power than he expected and on instinct jumps up in to the air!

He glares at Shadow as he hears a explosion and says," Nice try, but you're not taking this bad boy down! Nothing you have can, huh? Uh oh."

Demyx instantly feels a surge of power before he sees the moment he left his hand off the Water Prison spell Cloud instantly blasted out of it! Demyx sees Cloud's energy blast in to him before the spiky haired swordsmen grips his blade tightly and says,

" Oh, you're going to see what we can do, I promise that Demyx!"

Cloud instantly smashes Demyx hard with his blade and it unleashes such force that Demyx is smashed in to the ground! Demyx is being faced with so much pressure that the stone ground around him cracks and he digs in hard not to give Cloud ground. However, he just grins as he sees the fury in his opponents mako blue eyes before he says,"

I can see your angry but don't worry, it won't last long Enji! All of this, huh?"

To his shock Cloud's magical aura gets even more intense before the First Sword glows yellow, and splits open! To the horror of the Dark Enji knight theses new swords all glow before floating around Demyx! Cloud then says,

" This ends here, I'll teach you to try and kill my friends!

Omni Slash Version 5!"

Cloud in a flash shows how furious he is by unleashing a variation of his ultimate attack! Before Demyx can blink Cloud warps to one of his newly summoned blades and slashes Demyx hard across his side, before instantly dashing to one of his other blades and slashing Demyx with even more force! Cloud repeats this stunt again and again before he at last jumps high in the air and holds his large blade behind him, gathering all the strength he can giving a dazed Demyx time to look up, right before Cloud comes back down hard, slashing Demyx clean horizontally across his body! Demyx stood back just in time to avoid being completely slashed in half but he still gasps and coughs up blood from the impact before he then says,

" Damn, dirty Enji! I'll teach you to think, that such a, GUH!"

Demyx, and everyone else sees just how badly Cloud's attack hurt as blood gushes out all over the newly created gashes on his body! The man with the title of the" Melodious Nocturne" falls right to the ground and chokes out more blood before Cloud coldly glares at him and says,"

Anyone who endangers my friends is going to pay you scum.

"Doug whistles at this and says," Damn, I knew Cloud was hard core but, now I know never to get on his bad side." Shadow crosses his arms and grins before saying,"

Looks like that idiot learned the hard way, good riddance."

Axel sees Demyx writhe in pain as the blood around him gets bigger. He then face palms and says,"

Oh god damn it Demyx, this is why I said to let me handle this! Great, I told them not to pair me with this idiot. Still, if I let him die they are all going give me hell for this. Man, this is so NOT cool!"

Axel then unleashes a burst of speed before warping in front of Demyx! He instantly picks up his bleeding ally and jumps up in the air before saying,"

Well, lucky break for you losers, looks like it's time for a time out Enji! Guess you will get to live a little while longer but it's no problem. Heh, after all you're all ready lost half your force and you still want to save the day right? Hah, good luck with that! I can't wait to see if the Commander will finally pay attention to join in the fun, then you punks will be in for a real treat! Later!

"Shadow is all readying going to attack but Axel has a black and green portal open behind him before he jumps through it and warps him and Demyx out of the area! Shadow curses under his breath and says,"

That Axel, he is smart and deadly at the same time, a truly dangerous combination in a fighter."

Cloud solemnly nods and says,"

And he mentioned yet another one of them might be on this world. Well, even if this Commander is even stronger, they won't stop us. Next time, we will be ready for them."

Amy, hiding this whole time takes a large breath of exasperation and says,"

Oh man, that was so scary! I am glad you were able to take down that annoying guy mister Cloud!"

Doug punch's a nearby rock so hard that it shatters before he says,"

It's too bad they ran, I was going to play basketball with their heads! Ben, James, I knew this was war but, to die like this, to that punk, no way I'll get him get the last laugh!"

Cloud turns to Doug and sighs before he says,"

The Dark Enji and the Zeon federation don't have the last laugh Doug, not yet. I can sense both Ben and James's magical energy, its faint but they are still alive. "

Doug widens his eyes and says,"

Really? That seemed like a stiff drop to me, unless something broke their fall. Great, now even if they are not alive they could be capture or something if it was a Zeon ship that broke their fall!"

Shadow closes his eyes and says,"

Not necessary Doug. The Mystic Ruins have plenty of ruins and pathways that even now have not been fully discovered. Its, possible that your friends were swept in to one of the underground catacombs still buried beneath here."

Doug cracks his neck and says," Well then, we better high tail it to fallow their tracks!

Shadow opens his eyes and responds with,"

No, we should focus on meeting up with Sonic. He Tails and Knuckles have more experience with this zone then me, and we wasted enough time as it is."

Doug gets angry and says,

" Maybe my buds are low priory to you Shadow but we Enji have a code and part of that code is no one gets left behind!"

Cloud walks up to Doug and says,"

Doug, I know your upset but Shadow is right, the best course of action for both us , Ben and James is to meet with this Sonic. He and Knuckles will be able to help us find them better than if we just blindly searched on our own. Remember, we still can't afford to be detected, especially now that the Zeon forces are aware that we are here."

Doug takes a deep breath and nods before he then says,"

Well, guess you do got a point there Cloud. Hopefully are buds can hold out till we can put things together. Heh, who am I kidding this is starting to sound like a scaled down version of what happened to us on Mario's world and that turned out all right. Well, guess we should better focus on what we can do right?"

Shadow nods and says," Then let's heal up and move out, we are behind schedule as it is."

Cloud nods as he goes to take a potion out of his pocket to help recover his strength and heal his injuries before he glances at the watery section where Demyx flooded Ben and James before he says,

" Ben, James, I hope this choice is not the wrong one."

Shadow grins and says,"

Those two seemed to know how to get things done, I am sure they will be fine Cloud. So if you really do trust them stop worrying about it and let's go."

Cloud chuckles and says," Sorry, it's a bit of a habit of mine. All right, everyone ready?"

Doug, Shadow and Amy nod before they move at an even greater speed to their destination. However, as they go on to try and still complete their mission despite the setback. However, with that we leave the group to focus on those who are even more set back, and that would be Ben and James!


As we resume are view on the one who welds the Star Sword it seems that what Shadow predicted is true, Demyx 's attack flooded them down a underground tunnel! After being bumped around what seemed like one extreme water slide Ben and James at last are free from the embrace of H20, only to fall in to another underground ravine!

While Ben and James are both banged up hard but Ben has just enough strength to grab on to the rocky edge to his right and grab a hold to James before pulling him and his friend out of the water. For a full minute the duo are too tired and dazed to speak before Ben spits some water out and says,"

Well, that could have gone better."

James just chuckles and says,"

Most likely. Still, considering the situation it could have also gone a lot worst. At least despite how banged up we are, we are still alive."

Ben chuckles and says," Score another point for luck. If we are really lucky those psychos will think we are dead and leave. Wait; there is still Cloud, Doug and Shadow. Damn it, I feel so useless. I, really am just a joke compared to them. So much for me proving myself."

James wipes some dirt off his bloody knee and says,"

Don't be too hard on yourself Ben. They clearly lived up to their reputation as being some of the deadliest warriors of the darkness. The fact that you manage to hold your own for as well as you did is something to be proud of."

Ben looks at the Star Sword and says,"

I suppose so. It's just, I don't seem to have the sword skills of Cloud Sensei, Doug's raw physical reflexes and strength or anything close to your magical skills. I , admit even now I barley am above a grunt."

James shrugs and says,"

I was taught magic by a Enji Master for most of my youth and had additional training from the legacy of the Quincy clan while Doug had the training of one of the most renown martial artists currently living. The fact that despite you not having nearly as much as an education as us yet you still being able to hold your own shows your own skills. Look, we can debate how true your fate really is Ben but, we simply have to wait and see how things unfold.

"Ben gives a bitter chuckle and says," I guess your right James. Heh, you saying you're not sure the destiny of the Star Sword is legit either?"

James readjusts his glasses and says,

" I trust you Ben, and I have seen the Star Sword's power. I simply don't put an absolute trust in anything that does not have absolute proof of being real. However, what I do know is absolutely true is that it's logical for us not to remain here. "

Ben grins and says,"

Sounds like a plan to me, better let everyone know we are not dead. Huh?"

Ben tries to get his transmitter working but hears a static sound before pressing a few buttons. He then gulps and says,"

Er, I must have landed on mine or it got smashed on the way down because it would appear to be quite busted.

" James checks his own gear and grimaces before saying,"

I don't think it's you Ben; I can't get a single either. Great, either this cave has something that neutralizes are transmitters, or the enemy is purposely jamming us. Either way, I can still faintly sense Doug and Cloud's energy so as long as we can make it out of here we are all right. "

Ben looks around and says," Hopefully there is a place to get out of. Otherwise, we might have to get use to digging for a while.

"Ben looks around and sees that the stream he and James were previously and sees that the area seems to mostly be green and purplish rocks. Ben breathe a sigh of relief as he sees faint lights glowing around the Mystic cave before he says," Well, it looks like at least we are not completely cut off. With any luck this is a trail or tour or something. "

James nods and says," Well, guess there is only one way to find out. Oh well, at least this is a way for me to grasp the culture of this world some more.

"With that the two heal their wounds and proceed to go down the path. Ben remains on guard as he looks around and says,"

Man, with how things are going we are going to run right in to the, er, I better not jinx myself. "

James chuckles and says," Even if the Zeon base is not here this place could have booby traps."

Ben grins as he hops over a rock and says," Maybe so James but that is not very li, WHOA!"

As Ben lands on another rock the entire area around him crumbles and Ben quickly sees a sharp row of spikes waiting for him at the bottom! Ben on instinct stabs the rock in front of him with the Star Sword and manages to stop his descent. James just sighs and says,"

Looks like it's likely enough. "

James then uses his magic to create steps out of the wall for Ben to climb out of the impasse before Ben wipes some sweat off his head and says,"

Yup, thanks James. Well, looks like we will have to watch are step every step of the, huh? James, you hear something? "

James freezes before he nods and says," I do, and it sounds mechanical. James then goes down the hole himself and both rookie Enji then sees a pair of what seem to be large robotic fireflies fly by the area. James notices the machines briefly rotate around the area before flying on ahead. After making sure they are gone James and Ben climb back up before are wary hero says,"

Great, were those Zeon probe droids?"

James closes his eyes and responds with,"

I am not sure, they did not look like the design they are suppose to have. I suppose it could be a new model, let's find out."

Ben sighs and says," Great, even more surprises." The two then walk carefully down the path and get ready to fight as they hear more noises. After turning around a corner though, the pair our shocked to find a much wider area, and see various machines and robots of many shapes and sizes going around the area! Ben sees many small red robots lifting rocks around and putting them in machines behind them. Ben notices the red robots and also see that some of the machines behind them seem to have a human face on them before he whispers out,

"Your right James, this does not seem like a Zeon squad. Maybe it's one of their allies on this world?"

James looks around and says," It could be someone like Fang who was hired to help them find the Chaos Emeralds. Still, I wonder if, oh?"

The two then hear a roar and get on guard before they see some of the red robots and robotic fireflies circle around an area, before they all shoot out lasers! Ben sees theses lasers remain steady before the robots pull back, and seem to drag out with their lasers what seems to be a hoarse sized purple and white mole that seems to have a drill for a nose and smaller drills for its finger nails!

Ben watches with curiosity as the mole monster cries out with fury and slams its drill nose in to one of the red robots and shatters it! This causes a red and white mole shaped robot with a bizarre mustache to come forth and fire a black net out of its mouth, hitting the raging monster and capturing it! Are hero's see the drill nosed monster get shocked by electricity before the robots pick him up and throw him in one of the machines behind them! Ben is shocked as the mole then says,"

You jerks! Wait till my friends find I am captured, you're all going to get it! OW!"

The mole monster continues to rant and scream before Ben looks confused and says,"

What is this? Is the Zeon army finding monsters to have even more troops to use? Great, next thing I know they will be trying to capture the weather or something. Still, a monster that can speak, guess that means it's another native species right? "

James looks at some of the other monsters captured in the machines around him before he gasps and says,"

Wait, is this for real? Ben, they are not monsters, not quite. I think they are in fact, Digimon!"

Ben looks even more shocked as he says,"

Wait, you sure? Those are, digital monsters, that are like mutated by radiation right?"

James sighs with exasperation and says,"

Sort of, but its more complex than that. Digimon, they are part of the new phenomenon that has devolved from the extreme interaction of the different magical energies of the worlds throughout the years, or, to be more precise it's the result of many different kinds of radiation mixing unnaturally with each other.

It's, not exactly totally figured out but a genius researcher, Daimon Gennai Mizrahi, came up with the theory that the many different components of many worlds atmosphere could cause many unexpected results.

It's had the same effect on sentient life forms; it's conformed to also be the cause of having the genetic mutations that have been causing the mutant phenomenon recently. It effects entire worlds, if I recall it was what allowed magic to return to Miss Terra's world, and somehow even caused Yuna and Tidus 's friend and mentor Auron to return to the dead thanks to the worlds, unique structure.

Digimon are like mutant monsters, but half of their structure down to their DNA is composed of data, the data of the many worlds brought to life. Needles to say, they have a ride range of skills and powers. As you see they can talk normally, and can also evolve, or Digivole. Mizrahi 's theory was that Digimon could even combined together to form even greater Digimon."

Ben nods, trying to pretend he knows more than he does as he says,"

Nice, I see you watched that special on Digimon as well, good to remember some of the things I missed. That Mizrahi, I did hear he was a genius, almost on the same levels as the Cid's or even the legendary robot master Doctor Thomas Light. Did he ever finish his theory?"

James sighs and says,"

No, I doubt he ever will. He died five years ago. The story was that he was visiting a friend's experiment and that experiment went bad, so bad that it exploded, killing them all. There were rumors that the experiment was related to Digimon, or at least a monster. Regardless of what the true story to that was, that and more made Digimon be a subject of caution. I don't know what is going on with whoever wants to capture theses Digimon but I know it's another problem for us.

"Ben nods and says," We should focus on getting out of here without getting caught. I hope those robots don't have sensors."

James grins and says,"

Even if they do, we can manage. Ill cast a variation of a lighting spell around us to dampen theses sensors. It should allow us to get out of here as long as we move fast."

Ben nods and says," Guess there is only one way to find out, ready?"

James nods and unleashes a small cage of lighting around the two. Ben and James then sneak around the robots and thankfully James's lighting spell is able to work since they don't seem to get noticed by the robots. The two then proceed farther down the cave, and notice that the path gets more structured and another minute later they are shocked to see a temple like structure in front of them! James looks amazed and says," Guess they are researching something all right.

"Ben looks even more amazed as he then says,

" Hey wait, this kind of looks familiar. No, wait, if this is what I think it is James, it looks kind of like the same place as where I found the Star Sword!"

James is dumbfounded at this and looks at the temple intently before looking even more intently at his friend. "

What, your serious Ben? But, the odds of Mushroom Kingdom and Mobius both having the same style of building are astronomically slim.

" Ben grins as the Star Sword shines with light before he turns to James and says,"

They did not have to build it, if the angels did. Hey, Gilgamesh said the other parts of the Star Sword were all over the universe, this might be one of them! Come on James, let's find out!"

James is shocked at Ben's eagerness before he looks at the temple and hears the buzzing noise of more machines getting closer in the distance before he says,"

Well, maybe it is destiny. Meh, it can't hurt and, this is getting interesting."

With that James fallows Ben in to the temple and they both quickly see that the same machines from before floating around the temple and remain on guard. Luckily the same jamming spell that James had up still manages to get the machines the slip and the cautions duo are able to proceed more or less while remaining there stealthily approach.

While the temple has some traps, like corridors with fire walls and some spikes its nothing the training of the two hero's can't get them out of, though it helps that it seems that whoever is behind the machines also has machines trying to convert this temple as several of its sections seem to be jammed or destroyed. After a few more close calls Ben and James at last run in to what seems to be a wide room with stairs and pillars.

Ben sees that there is a giant mural in the back, and several statues of what seem to be humanoid enchiladas in tribal gear! James looks amazed and says,

" Fascinating, this must be where the ancient people worshiped or something. This really is a relic of a lost culture once we are done with the mission ill enjoy going more in to this."

Ben looks around intently for any sigh of another passage before he says,"

Hold up just a bit James, we should figure out why someone is setting up shop around here. And, just give me a bit more time to figure out if there is another part of the Star Sword here. We might have missed something."

James looks around and only sees more statues before he responds with,"

I am not so sure Ben, some of the places were dark but it seemed rather straight forward. This place could very well have been made by the celestial ones but it might not be related to the Star Sword."

Ben moves around the area with a more frantic pace as he then touches some of the status and says,"

Maybe, but it just feels so, right James. I mean, this looks like it's about something important.'

James nods and takes a close look at one of the statues before he says

," Ill agree to that Ben. It looks like they are trying to pay tribute to those who fought in a great battle."

Ben then looks up at the mural in front and sees that it appears to be showing what seems to be a gigantic demonic shadow with red eyes looking like it what seems to be crushing what Ben presumes to be Mobius. There are plenty of other specks of darkness and light all around the mural but what sticks out in Ben's mind is seeing a large pillar of light right in the center of the large shadow, almost looking like a sword, the Star Sword! Ben then says,"

That almost looks like the Star Sword James, right there!"

James goes to where Ben is pointing and presses his hand before saying,"

It, does resemble it a tad. "Ben takes out the Star Sword and directly puts it to the image of the mural before the Star Sword glows with light, and so does the mural! Ben then sees blue wall panels then move around in front of Ben, and form a chain that leads to the ceiling! James sees all of these blue panels glow with light before the ceiling itself opens and he then says,"

Well Ben, looks like you are right after all, your instincts are rather keen."

Ben grins and says," Thanks James. Now, there has to be some way to climb up there. Don't see any place at all to grab on to though. Sigh, at times like this I wish I could do the fly spell, it would, whoa!"

Ben was simply trying to kick the panel in front of him to try and get something to come out, but is shocked to see that his foot sticks to the blue surface! James sees this and extends his own foot before it to attaches itself to the wall! James looks intrigued before he says,

" I get it; it's another safety procedure to keep out unwanted guests. Not bad, better have a spell ready in case they decide to drop on a seconds notice."

Ben chuckles sheepishly and says,

" No kidding. All right here we go.

' With that Ben and James run up the wall, and find in front of them yet another door, this one made up of crystals! Ben moans at this and says,"

Oh come on, this is starting to turn out like a bad joke!"

Almost as if responding to Ben's wishes the Star Sword glows again and the doors split open, revealing a crystal like chamber behind it! Ben gets excited as he says,"

All right, this is the same kind of chamber where I found the Star Sword! Wait, that also means I might have to run in to Gilgamesh again? Good grief, I am not sure I really improved that much since last time. Well, let's see what we have here."

James just nods as he continues to absorb all that's before him. The two then enter the chamber properly and Ben sees that there is alter in the center of the room. However, unlike before there is nothing that even resembles a hilt, all Ben sees is a blue gem in the center of the pillar. Ben looks at the gem closely and sees there is some sort of writing around it, a writing that might as well be Chocobo scratch to the young man. Ben scratches his head as he then says,

" This better not be a riddle, I have enough problems with them when they are in the language I can understand. "

James walks up besides Ben and spots what Ben is talking about before raising a eyebrow. He then says,

" Wait, I think I remember studying this, if I am not mistaken its ancient Xenogan. But, that race has been lost for thousands of years. I wonder what there link to this is, and I wonder what they are saying even more. "

James presses a few buttons on his personal computer before he shrugs and says," It's, garbled enough as it is but I can make out, Star and, friendship."

Ben grins and says,"

You sure do know your info James." His red haired teammate just readjusts his glasses while he says,

" Oh it's nothing much I assure you. The Enron family has strived to live up to their legacy for centuries, I just happen to excel on it. Now Ben, let's see if you can excel on your own fate." Ben's eyes burn with determination as he then says,

" Sounds like a plan James. All right, I am not sure what kind of test this is but, here we go."

Ben then points the Star Sword right at the blue gem, and to his relief the gem shines in unison with his blade! Ben then sees a small beam of blue light blast out, before this crystal shard flies out and floats above Ben's head before the owner of the Star Sword is relieved to see this blue crystal shard fly in to the area beneath the red crystal shard all ready in the center of the blade before it fits like a Lego block! Ben braces himself for something, but only sees the Star Sword shine with even more intense light. He then looks at James and shrugs before saying,"

Well, that was easy. Maybe Gilgamesh is trying to trick me?"

James responds with,"

Beats me, seems simple en, oh?"

James is shocked to see an even more intense pillar of light blast out where the crystal shard was, till what seems to be a blue egg rise up! Ben and James then see sparks of energy crackle around the area before Ben looks at the egg intently. He sees the egg tremble a bit before he says,"

What the, what is this? Oh man, did Gilgamesh get lazy and send a monster for us to fight instead? Come on, if I have to risk my life to find these things the least he could do is not take short cuts!"

Ben then sees the egg crack before James then gets weary as he says,"

Better get ready! "With that the egg cracks and explodes with energy and unleashing a blinding light in the process! Ben gets in to a fighting stance and says,"

All right, I don't care what you are, I am not going to lose to you! So show me what you, huh?"

Ben sees the Star Sword unleash another beam of light, before the light in front of him stabilizes! Ben is then shocked to see a shape of that of a small dragon with mostly purple and red skin! Ben braces himself for a fight but is shocked to see the eyes staring in to him seem to be wide round black eyes, nearly looking like a puppy!

Ben then sees that while it's clearly a dragon that is around his size looking right at him, and also notices that while this dragon has claws, wings, a tail, and even a horny spike on top of its nose the dragon seems to have a stance of that like a puppy more than a murderous monster, a feeling that is only intensified as the dragon starts to pant like a dog.

' Ben sees the dragon just stare blankly at him and James before the two Enji look at each other, look at the dragon, sees parts of its skin change like a chameleon before turning back to purple before Ben looks at James and says,"

Well, I can say I did not see this coming. So, now what?

" His responds is the creature before him just staring blankly at Ben before Ben shrugs and says," Er, hello?"

Ben is shocked to get a answer before the dragon turns his neck to the side and says," Hello?

"Ben raises a eyebrow and says,"

Ok, you can speak, spindled this will help things. Um, who are you?"

The dragon just responds by turning his head the other way and says,

" Who am I? Um, who am I? Do you know who I am?"

Ben face palms and says," Well, this is going to be fun. "

James crosses his arms and says,"

If he can speak, that means he is likely a digimon. Maybe, the cross mutation of the different energies of the world even reached such a holy place? He, nearly looks like a Hiryu, the wind drake kind of dragon. Tell me, do you know why your hear dragon?"

The dragon digimon turns to James and says,

" Do I know where I am? Where is here? What am I suppose to do?"

Ben sighs with exasperation before he says," If, this is some game this is getting annoying but, if you don't know anything then, I feel sorry for you. Do, you know your name?"

His responds from the creature is another look of curiously before he goes right up to Ben's face and says,

" What's a name? "

Ben rolls his eyes and says," That's it, like James said you look like a Hiryu and you seem to be a Digimon so, how about we call you Hiryuumon?"

Hiryuumon looks confused and says,

" What's a Hiryuumon? "Ben, sighs and points his finger right on Hiryuumon's nose before saying,"

That's you, that's your name Hiryuumon." Hiryuumon looks amused and says,"

That sounds, cool! What's your name?"

Ben grins and says," My name is Ben Auro Hiryuumon. I was chosen by the celestial ones to save the universe from the forces of darkness.

" James grins and says,"

My name is James Elrond, a friend of Ben. "Ben nods and says," I, am here to go through a test, I think. I thought I was suppose to fight a guy named Gilgamesh."

Hiryuumon looks around and says," Oh, so you want to fight this bad guy?"

Ben shrugs and says,"

Well, he is not really a bad guy anymore Hiryuumon. I just need to fight him to get more power to, be able to fight the true bad guys. Though, I figured I got the power all ready, and, you seem to be here. I wish Gilgamesh would show up all ready."

Hiryuumon looks around and says,"

You want to find this bad guy Ben? Well, you woke me up from, whatever I was doing so ill help you out! Let's see if I can smell him, my nose smells a lot of things! Um, I smell something all ready! Oh wait, that's you."

Hiryuumon then shifts around before going pass Ben and saying,"

Hey wait I smell more things! Are these the bad men? I hope so, I am hungry!

"Hiryuumon dashes to the exit before Ben cringes and says,

" Hey, hold up Hiryuumon!"

Hiryuumon seems to either fail to hear Ben or does not listen to him and just goes down the hall. Ben can all ready hear the digimon going down the temple before saying,

" Great, now he is not listing to me, I really got to work on that. I wonder, is this part of the test?"

James looks around before he says," If this is just an act, it's a good one. Well, if this Hiryuumon is what he appears to be or this is some elaborate test either way we have to act. No matter what angel he is really playing, if he gets the robots attention we are in trouble. "

Ben gulps and says," Great, let's catch him!"

The duo run off and try to catch Hiryuumon, but are shocked to find that despite the fact that the dragon digimon appeared to be just born as he is all readying requiring Ben and James to move at full speed! As the duo return to the mural room Ben manages to catch up with Hiryuumon and says,

" HEY! Hold it Hiryuumon!" To Ben's relief the digimon then turns around before looking confused and saying," What's wrong? "Ben takes a deep breath and says," Well, you see Hiryuumon we don't really want to get the bad guys attention just yet.

" Hiryuumon looks even more confused as he says,"

What, why not? You said you want to beat the bad guys right?"

James chuckles and says," Easy now, we are not even sure if the people around here are truly the bad guys. Even if they are, we can't just charge in as we are now. Unprepared and unconfused as we are such a battle just rushing in can be a disaster.'

Hiryuumon looks depressed and says,"

So, we can't win? I thought you guys said we can win!"

Ben gets defensive and says," I did not say I can't win , I just need to know what I am getting in to so I can know how to win while feeling the less amount of pain, got itHiryuumon? "

Hiryuumon itches his head and says,

" Not really. Well, if you don't want to fight the bad guys you better tell them because I think one of them is coming up here really fast.'

Ben gets alarmed as he then says," Wait, what do you mean Hiryuumon?"

All of a sudden Ben hears an odd roaring sound, before the wall in front of his eyes is blown down! Both Ben and James get tense as they see a giant red beetle like monster with four arms and scissor like claws in front of his face emerge! This new monster has its face claws grind together several times before Hiryuumon growls and says,"

That guy! Hey jerk, you want to fight? I am not scared of you ugly!"

Ben sighs and says," Great, here comes the trouble."

James readies his energy bow before saying," I think I seen this monsters profile before.

It's another digimon Ben, the beetle Champion level named Kuwagamon. Sadly, what I remember is that it tends to be very violent, very often. "

Ben sees Kuwagmon walking closer, and having droll roll down its fangs before he braces himself and says,"

Well, that's not helping me relax. Think we can take him?"

James grins and says," Well, since he is a champion level digimon and not a bright one, it's entirely possible as long as we don't screw up."

Ben grins and says," Oh well, I am never quite fond of screwing up when my life is on the line. Hiryuumon, time we fight the bad guys!"

Hiryuumon grins and says,"

Sounds like a plan to me! All right you stupid bug, you're done! Either Flame! "

With this the smaller Digimon widens his mouth and unleashes a large red fire ball from it that hits Kuwagmon right in its head! The beetle like monster roars in pain as the flames continues to grow over its body! James is impressed by this and says,

Not bad, despite being just born it seems to be a born fighter. Maybe it was grown to be Ben's opponent?"

Ben looks awed and comments with," Who knows, I am just glad he is on our side?"

Hiryuumon grins and says," Don't worry, I can take down guys like this for breakfast! Speaking of breakfast, I might as well eat this guy after he is done c, GUH!"

To his shock Kuwagamon shows he is not as done as his smaller opponent might think because he backhands Hiryuumon in to the air with one of his claws! Hiryuumon goes flying and Ben catch's him before Hiryuumon looks dazed and says,"

Ow! What was that!" Ben sees Kuwagamon bashing his own head against a pillar to put out the fire before he says,"

That was you making your enemy mad. Trust me Hiryuumon, that's not a good thing. Well, we can hurt it, but we better hurt it a lot more before it gets those claws in to us.

" James nods and says,"

This Digimon has a hard shell, but it's not totally unstoppable. We have to hit it were its weak. Well, it seems it wants to eat us and its mouth seems more variable then the rest. "

Ben nods and says," So that's where we will strike. Hiryuumon, try to focus your attacks on its mouth!

"Hiryuumon gets on his feet again and says,"

How do you know your idea is going to work anyway?"

James shrugs and says," It's logical, there for it's the best course of action."

Hiryuumon looks annoyed and says," That does not make any sense at all!

" Ben gets back in to a fighting stance and says," Look, just listen all right Hiryuumon? We are the ones who have the plans, so just fallow the lead of the boss ok?"

Hiryuumon grins and says,"

All right all ready, this better work!"

With this Kuwagamon has its wings flap up rapidly and it gets ready to try and skewer it's pray with its scissor like claws! Ben then steps forward and says," All right, now!"

Ben then dashes forward and slides down, stabbing the digimon right in its chest! The red monster roars in pain, before Hiryuumon then bashes Kuwagamon with his own head! Ben's new alley then grins and says," Keep those ugly teeth closed, they gross me out!"

Kwuagamon roars out and grasps Hiryuumon with its claws! Kwuagamon then tries to eat his attacked, while also grasping Ben with its arms! Hiryuumon struggles to keep from falling in to the mouth of his enemy before saying,"

Hey, I may not know a lot of things but I know I don't like the feeling down there!"

All of a sudden James jumps up above Kuwagmon and says,"

Don't worry, its menu has all ready been selected!"

James then unleashes an energy arrow and aims it to wiz right past Hiryuumon and go down its throat! A few seconds later an explosion sound is heard and smoke is flying out of the hostile beings mouth! James lands on the ground and says," Ben, now!"

Ben nods before stabbing Kuwagamon right in its stomach, causing it to roar even louder, before at last toppling over! If that damage was not enough a rock falls from the vibrations the battle causing the red hungry bog to get a rock in his mouth. Ben, Hiryuumon and James see the suffocated Kuwagamon twitch a bit before Ben grins and says,"

See Hiryuumon, that's why it's a good idea to fight with a good battle plan. Whew, as long as this is not one of those monsters that have little monsters inside it I think we are clear for now.

"Hiryuumon grins and says," Wow, that was really something guys!

"James shrugs and says,"

Thanks for doing your part Hiryuumon, it was a team effort."

Hiryuumon grins and says," No problems James, looks like you really can save the entire universe! Um, one thing though, what's a universe again?"

James chuckles before Ben groans and says," I know your excited Hiryuumon but you got it mixed up. I am the one who was chosen to weld the Star Sword and save the cosmos, not James.

" Hiryuumon looks confused and says," What, but James seems to have the plans, he is the boss right?"

Ben groans and says,"

Damn it, when will someone take me seriously? Well, Cloud Sensei is really the boss of us Hiryuumon, and I guess Grand Master Myers is his boss. Well, speaking of Cloud I think we should go back to finding him, and a way out of here."

James nods and says," Indeed, and I think I have an idea. Hiryuumon, can you use your nose to smell if there is others like us, other humans in this area? Even a faint trail is enough."

Hiryuumon nods and smells around before his eyes widen and says,"

Oh, I think I smell something all ready! If you mean someone that smells kind of like you then I smell something over there!"

Ben then walks forward in anticipation, only to cringe as he sees a bunch of robots swarm in to the area! Ben sees that they are the same robots from before, and also see that many of them are glowing red and having things that look like many kinds of guns form before he turns to Hiryuumon and says,"

You know Hiryuumon, these guys are not really humans, at all. In fact inorganic objects are rather far from being human.

" Hiryuumon wags his tail and simply points up before saying,"

No, not those thingies Ben, I don't even smell much from these things. I mean the OTHER thing!"

Ben is about to pry Hiryuumon for details when all of a sudden the ground shakes! Ben sees the walls to the right crack before he and James get ready for conflict once more! However, as the wall comes crashing down Ben is caught off guard as he sees what appears to be a red car like machine with big tires and a drill in front run out of the wall!

This car stops right in front of Ben, and the good guy trio hears what seems to be a muffled laughter before the black part of the car splits open! A man with a obese, but not extremely obese appearance, wearing a crimson jacket with yellow buttons, black pants linked to black shoes, white gloves, a bald head, a large reddish brown mustache, and black goggles over his eyes steps out of the car! This man just strokes his mustache and says,"

My, this is quite unexpected, I was sure this handiwork had Sonic's finger prints all over it. Tell me you two, just who are you? "

Ben remains wary as he says,"

Tell me your name, and I'll tell you mine.

"This mustached man chuckles and says,"

Very bold of you to be so confident when you don't know how it reward you, but your arrogance shows you clearly are tourists.

Well then my arrogant simpletons, its time you learn your in the presence of Doctor Ivo Robotnik, the man who with a IQ over three hundred and the greatest scientific genius of all!

" Ben and James at once step back before James says,"

So, your Doctor Robotnik, hardly what I expected."

Ben looks shocked as he says,"

Seriously, to be honest he nearly reminds me of my grandfather Albus. Well, at least the mustache and liking the knowledge and all that."

Robotnik looks amused at Ben's commit as he then says,"

Oh, so you do know of me boy? I see that my legacy can't help but spread in to anything that details this world! So, I take it you are new to traveling around Mobius? You should know, this entire area is a zone under my command, a place that I am privately conducting experiments on.

Normally I am not very fond of trespassers but since you're clearly clueless I'll be generous and let it slide.

" Ben and James look at each other before they nod. Ben then chuckles and says,

" Sorry, we did not know you were working here. We did not even plan to be here really, we kind of got blasted here when we were under attack by forces of the Zeon Federation."

Robotnik then puts his goggles over his head to reveal his black round sunglasses as he frowns and says,"

Oh, so those Zeon idiots are being even nosier are they? Bah, I had enough problems with Sonic, Shadow and GUN, they are just as welcomed as a incoming swarm of hornets! Those arrogant fools, they dare to challenge the right to own this world from me! They will pay dearly, all of them. Don't worry about the Zeon Federation you two, soon I will show them who truly has the superior might, and proper balance will be restored to Mobius!

Heh, theses Zeon barbarians think they are superior because they have more advanced technology? Fools, it's true some of their ships have greater specks and machinery then I figured but that's only because they likely have access to materials that are not available on this world! Once I analyze their systems and blueprints completely, I'll be able to evolve my genius to a new level and then no one will be able to stop me! So don't form a impression on the world it its current state my fellows, once I build the true glorious Egg man land you can see what true spender really is!"

Ben, noticing Robotnik is mostly ranting to himself at this point chuckles nervously and says," I see, well, the only way to do that would be to stop the Zeon Federation from occupying Mobius. It seems they are trying to work on some super weapon, if only we knew where they were."

Robotnik cackles madly and pats himself on his side before saying,"

Oh please, I know where those arrogant mongrels are playing around. There stealth systems are decent enough, too bad the ruined base that they laid out there little lair was built on the ruins of where I launched the Death Egg and the Egg Carrier all those years ago! Heh, a true genius knows how to get useful results even out of failures after all."

Ben crosses his arms and says,"

Nice, you really do sound like my grandpa, maybe you guys were from the same school after all. So, you know where the Zeon guys are working on their weapon? We are kind of looking for it, you see its are job to make sure they fail."

Robotnik narrows his eyes and says,"

Oh really? Bah, and they call me insane. You must be truly naïve if you came to this world expecting to free it on your own."

James then sighs and says,"

We are not on our own doctor, we are working with the people of this world along with are friends. You see, we are members of the Enji Knights, it's are duty to stop injustice."

Robotnik pauses for a second, before bursting out in to laughter before moving closer to Ben and James. He forms a wide grin and says,"

So, you two boys are part of the band of fairy tale heroes of the light are you? I admit, I thought such a story was only a rumor, you two don't fit hero material, even on this world."

Ben rolls his eyes and says,"

I get that a lot it seems, maybe after I advance past the Genji rank that will change. Hey now, we made it through those ruins, that proves we are for real right?"

Robotnik strokes his chin and says,"

True enough, you even seemed to take down that pain of a Digimon over there. Theses ruins are suppose to have an ancient power, even more ancient and even more powerful then the things that I found in previous ruins! However, it seems theses ruins are giving even little old me a hard time to decipher, it does not help that the energy of the entire planet has become even more scrambled thanks to all the different people coming down these days. Blast it, if only that blasted speedy idiot did not run off with most of the Chaos Emeralds! These Digimon are decent substitutes but they alone are not enough. If only I could find where the legendary monster is!" Hiryuumon grins and says,"

Hey, I am a monster! These guys found me in the secret chamber of this place, and I do feel special!" Robotnik is speechless as he has his machines float around Hiryuumon. They all unleash scanning lasers before Robotnik gets a green conformation sound on his terminal! He then gasps and says,"

No way, I can't believe this! How did you manage to find what my intelligence could not solve?"

Ben grins and says," Well, I doubt I would have found it normally but, I suppose you could say it was my destiny to stop it. See, short story is I was chosen by the celestial ones to fight the ultimate darkness or something so, I guess this guy is suppose to help me." Robotnik begins to furiously press the buttons on his terminal before saying,"

Even if I chose to believe such a laughable tale, I doubt you can utilize such power more then someone with my IQ young man. You see, if you truly want to save Mobius, it would be wise of you to hand over the Digital dragon there to me. Only I can turn that puppy like monster in to a true ultimate weapon."

Hiryuumon looks confused as he says,"

What, you want to make me stronger? So I can beat guy's like that ugly bug without worrying about being eaten? "

Robotnik forms a wide grin and says,

" Precisely my friend, you will be reborn and feel even greater power than ever, once I roboticized you of course!"

Hiryuumon looks confused and says,"

What is, robo, aside?

" James looks angry and says," What it means Hiryuumon is that the doctor here will turn you something like one of these machines here, a thing that has no heart or free will of its own! Doctor Robotnik, I did read up on you on our way here. Your views on others are, and what you do to them are far from noble. "

Robotnik grumbles and says,"

Let me guess, that infernal Sonic or one of his pals distorted my goals did they? Bah, they never could understand my genius; they never could see the bigger picture! It's not nearly as bad as the idiots may let you think; I am just removing all the flaws of a living being, and am trying to make a better world! I have even made sure the process would work by testing it on other digimon in the area! I assure you, I don't seek to make my genus result in the pain and misery of others. I want to make a better world.

" Ben sighs and says," Maybe I could by that, expect we kind of hear you like to blow up things, and unleashing demonic nightmarish monsters that nearly end all life on this world on a usual basis. That, hardly sounds noble."

Robotnik frowns and says,"

True progress will only be able to be made when the idiot mobians stop trying to interfere with my genius!

"Ben then points the Star Sword at Robotnik and says,"

Even if you are the smartest man of this world that gives you no right to enforce your will on the entire planet! No world where only one man's dreams are fulfilled can ever be rightfully called a paradise! Tsc, you may remind me of my grandpa physically, but that's where it ends."

Robotnik does not take well to Ben's sudden brazen tone and his serious look only angers him further before he says,"

Bah, tourists or not, I won't tolerate rudeness from anyone! Enough, I have been more then curious with you two but my patience is at a end! Bah, that Havoc Drashid was right; things will never change if idiots are crowding not just this world but every world!"

Ben gasps and says," Wait, you meet Havoc Drashid, the patriarch of Sithantos! What, did he want with you Robotnik?"

The Doctor looks down and says," He was the one who told me about this ruin, he, wait, I don't have to say anything to those who can't understand my greatness! All you need to know is that I have big plans, and I need that Digimon for them to work, for my revenge on all the clowns on this world that stand in my way! Hand him over to me, or you will see why no one wants me as my enemy!

"Ben sees Hiryuumon look confused before he gets in front of the Digimon and gets in to a fighting stance before he says,"

I hate making enemies, but I knew I could not be friends with everyone as long as I had this job. Sorry, but Hiryuumon is my friend and I won't hand him over to be experimented on! "

Hiryuumon seems to know what the word friend means because he looks shocked and turns to Ben before he says,"

I am, your friend?"

Ben grins and says," Course you are Hiryuumon. Sure we just met but you seem nice enough. Besides, if nothing else you seem to be related to my destiny and it would look bad if I lost something so important. Still, it's more the friend thing then the duty thing.

" Hiryuumon looks wide eyed in aw before he then says," All right, thanks!"

Robotnik then gives a commanding hand gesture as his robots once more rotate around the enemies of their master. The doctor then says,

" Oh great, another display of stupidly. Don't think I am afraid of fighting the Enji Knights; I won't let anyone interfere with my plans! You so called heroes have made a foolish choice that I promise!"

Ben then has the Star Sword shine with holy energy and James takes out his energy bow again before James says,

" Maybe, but we have chosen to live our lives as hero's, and expect the consequences."

Robotnik rolls his eyes and then puts on his goggles once more before saying," I don't think you realize just what consequences your arrogance has brought you, but by the time I take what is mine by force you will learn the hard way! Enough get them!"

The glass slides over his drill car again before his robots at once fire blaster shots and energy nets at the heroic trio!If that's not enough Robotnik himself has blasted cannons and missile launchers form from the sides of his craft but despite this are hero's stay calm and Ben at once defects a blaster bolt in to another fire fly badniks and then slashes in half an incoming net before saying,"

Hiryuumon, stick close to me and James and we will get out in one piece. Got it partner?"

Hiryuumon grins and says," You're the boss Ben, lead the way! Huh?"

The rookie level digimon sees the same mole robot from before dig underneath behind Ben's back and try and attack him before the dragon growls and says,"

You're not hurting the boss if I have anything to say about it! Dragon Punch!"

Hiryuumon then jumps up and punch's the mole robot right before it was going to fire a missile, causing the robot to be blown to bits by its own ammo! James then shoots down more of the fire fly badniks, before mixing up his assault with a lighting spell to short circlet three of the incoming red robots! Ben then slashes the head off the last robot standing and grins as it explodes before he says,"

Guess it was wrong to be worried that this would be anything worse then what the Zeon army has! "

Robotnik cackles form inside his drill car and the members of squad 7 can hear it over the projection system before the mustached man says,"

Don't get smug boys, those are the easy ones! Get them, GET THEM! HAHAHA, you Enji might be strong but you're not enough to endure the full force of my genius!"

James hears crumbling noises before he says,"

We did not come here to defeat you, we are here just trying to find are friends. And, I think we been delayed enough. Ben, Hiryuumon, we better make a break for it! I think, I know a way out, fallow me!"

Hiryuumon turns to Ben and his new friend shrugs before they both fallow the red haired Enji rookie to the right. Robotnik snickers and says,

" Don't think I'll let you escape my grasp after spending so much time on this!"

James chuckles and says,

" Don't think we will give up that quickly!

"James then aims upward and fires a barrage of energy arrows upward, blasting parts of the ceiling down! Robotnik charges through with his drill car and says,"

Oh no you don't, such a simple trick is not going to work on me! With that Robotnik corners the trio, and more of his robots arrive for back up. Ben sees only a cliff behind him before saying,

" Um, James, what is your plan again?" James grins and responds with,"

Well, I don't really have one. However, I can sense that Cloud and Doug's power levels are closer than before. We must be closer to the exit."

Hiryuumon looks down and says," Large black pits don't look much like an exit to me James, I am just saying.

' James sighs and has his hand glow before saying," True, but I hear running water nearby; you guys will just have to trust me."

Ben sheepishly sighs and says," Well, I guess that's the best we got."

Robotnik once more pops out of his drill car and looks angry before clutching his fist and says,"

End of the line boys. This is your last chance, surrender or pay dearly! I promise you, there are no other options!

"James grins and gets on his knees before saying,"

I figured someone as smart as you always realized that there is always more than one option!"

James then uses his alchemy styled magic to have the ground shoot out and attack not Robotnik, but the ground behind him! This shatters the wall, and reveals a downward stream! At once Ben, James and Hiryuumon run up the newly extended pathway before James stands at the end of his forged bridge and says,"

Also, word of the wise Robotnik, in the grand scheme of the universe a IQ of 300 is nowhere near enough to presume one can play god with the world. For someone who values his intelligence, such actions seem to make you appear to be quite stupid. Think about it."

James then shoots an energy arrow upward to cause another cave in to close the path between the two forces! Robotnik gets furious and says,"

No way, I refuse to expect this! Theses Enji Knights don't know what they are dealing with!"

All of a sudden a small red orb like robot with orbs and blue eyes pops out of the Doctors cockpit before it gives a smug robotic laughter and says,"

They did not seem to be afraid of you Doctor, ergo, you did not give off an intimating or formable impression. Ergo, your power and greatness is not as grand as you might think.

" Robotnik glares at the robot before he says,

Orbot, you're not helping. Bah, those Enji are clever, I'll give them that. But if they think they can outwit me, they don't know me very well! Bah, after what happened with Chaos, Dark Gaia and the others maybe in the end putting my stock on another monster might not be the best plan. Still, I want to see, just what they truly think they can do before I make my move. Let's see."

Robotnik presses a few buttons before a few radar screens appear on his terminal and he then looks intrigued and says,"

I see, either they are lucky or cleverer then I realized . How, very intriguing . For now, I'll leave the situation to my little stool pigeon. With how I set things up, it should get decent results. Heh, soon, soon Sonic Shadow and all their friends, the Zeon Federation, and even those Enji Knights and the entire Lylat Kingdom just how great my genius truly is! Hahaha, it won't be long now!"

Orbot then gets in front of his creator and says,"

You are displaying the same arrogance as usual doctor. Ergo, you will likely miss things like you always do, and fail as you always do. Ergo, once more your plans will amount to nothing."

Robotnik taps the side of his machine with exasperation before he says,"

Orbot , why did I create you again?"

Orbot salutes and says," I believe you created me to insure the processes of your plans go correctly and point out your errors."

His master then leans forward and says,

" I am aware of that, but I am also aware that you never seem to have any solutions either.

" Orbot instantly responds with," It's not in my design to, NO!"

Robotnik casually throws Orbot off the Drill car before turning around and saying,"

In that case that means you're a useless failure then. Well, I admit I , overlook things but I think I can work out things a bit better. Heh, I am a genius after all!

" Robotnik then instantly backs his car up and crushes Orbot without a second thought before going off and saying,"

That's right, with what I know now, I won't make the same mistakes as before! This world, all worlds, the true judgment is coming. And, when it arrives, ill prove I and my genius is worthy to live in the new age! So, let's get things ready for the show eh o, oh right I crushed him. "

Robotnik then goes off to move his plans forward, however for now we leave the not so good doctor and return the spotlight to those who escaped him!


Yes, the scene is now just after Ben, James and Hiryuumon gave Robotnik the slip, and are now sliding down the near water slide like structure, hoping it has a safe landing! As Ben swerves around and sees many snake like statues at the edge of the walls he gulps and says,

" Um, James, you know we could have just jumped in to some sort of execution pit right?"

James responds with," Its, possible but I still say it's unlikely. I mean ,just look right in front of you!"

Ben then realizes that James is pointing to a cliché he is happy to stumble on to, a light at the end of the tunnel! As the three swerve around the slide like descent Ben sees the light is getting bigger and says,"

All right, guess your right James! Might be a bumpy ride but at least we are getting out of here."

Hiryuumon yells out in excitement, making the most of the ride as he says,"

All right, this is a blast! Where are we going anyway?"

James responds with,"

Anywhere but where we are would be nice, especially if it gets us closer to the others! Hope they, huh? No, NO!"

To James and the others shock the three at last reach the light at the end of the tunnel, and as they are launched out they realize that they are not only entirely out of the Mystic Caverns, but also out of the entire area, leaving them with nothing but a whole lot of air waiting for them below!

Ben takes one second to notice that they are apparently at the top of the entire Mystic Ruins, another to notice they are above even some clouds, and then realizes there is nothing for them to grab before they at once begin to fall and Ben says,"

Damn it James, I told you this was a execution road!"

James franticly looks around and says,"

Do you really feel solace in being right! Never mind, I have to see if there is any tree or rock I can use magic on to help us before it's too late!"

Hiryuumon tries to stop falling with his tiny wings but is dismayed to see its not doing anything before he says,"

Um, boss, I changed my mind, falling is not really fun at all!

"Ben responds with,

" Trust me, being crushed is even less fun! Damn it, I knew from the start I should have focused harder on trying to learn flight magic! After all of this it can't, huh?" Ben notices the cloud to his near right, the very large cloud before he feels something and says,"

James, is there any way you can get us to that cloud?

"James looks bewildered before saying," What, have you lost it Ben?"

Ben chuckles and says," Maybe, but I think I sense something from that cloud!

" Hiryuumon shifts quickly and says," Hey, I think I smell something to! Don't know what it is but it's something!"

James quickly looks around and says

," Well, it's better to try then to die. All right, I am going to try something, get ready!"

James then sees that the water that slid them off to their doom is still around them and he quickly uses some ice magic to freeze the water around him! It's not enough to grab on to but James is prepared for it and quickly unleashes a arrow in fused with fire that shoots in to the area of the ice and explodes, causing a force of water that blasts the three forward! The trio then head right in to the large cloud, and are shocked to see that Ben's hunch is correct, and they see that there is a massive island that seems to be floating right in the air!"

James widens his eyes and says," Is that a, never mind. Your hunch was right Ben. Now, hang tight guys this is going to be close!

As the three now fly past this island James at once focuses his magical energy and has some of the ground shoot up and form three hand like structures! Hiryuumon and James are caught safely by this magically made safety net, but thanks to a unforeseen calculation the part of ground James cast for himself collided with the one he intended to catch Ben with, causing Ben to miss it! Ben turns pale as he sees his friends rapidly go out of his range of vision and says,

" Hey, not funny James! Oh man, this is a relay lame way to give me the finger luck!"

James sees Ben becoming a dot before swearing ,

" Damn it, I should have expected that! Ben, he is falling out of my range!"

As the red haired man is trying desperately to figure a way to save his teammate Ben is also trying out how to not make this the end of his carrier as he says,"

No, damn it Ben think of what Cloud taught you! Come on, we went over how to handle sudden drops right? It was, focus your energy and think of not falling. But, all I can think about is falling! Come on, I don't want to, whoa!" Ben all of a sudden feels a sharp change in momentum before all of a sudden, he stops falling!

Ben is too dazed to think more beyond that but then hears a young but calm voice then says,"

Don't worry, you're going to be all right I got you!"

Ben then looks around and looks up before he is shocked to see what seems to be a humanoid fox with two tails that are spinning around like a propeller! Ben nearly freaks out of this saviors grip as he says,"

Oh great, did I die or am I just in a coma?

" Ben hears a older voice give a calm chuckle before it says,

" Nah, relax kid your alive. It was close, but we got you."

Ben then turns to the left and is surprised to see what would appear to be an anthropomorphic red echidna with a white crescent symbol on his chest with dreadlocks for hair. Ben notices this new red friend has spiked large claws for his hands, one holding Ben's right arm firmly and one stuck to the wall! Ben then realizes he is still alive and says,"

Wow, thanks guys, I thought I was finished.' The red being then smirks and says,"

You still might be finished. Are you a friend of Shadow and the one named Cloud?"

Ben widens his eyes and says,

" You know Cloud sensei? Yah, we are part of the same squad and working with Shadow. Thanks for saving my life guys."

The red spiky man just shrugs and says," All right, seems like your legit but if you trick me, I swear you're going to pay! All right let's get back up, the others will be happy to see this.' With this the two animal like beings help Ben get back on solid ground and Ben takes a deep breath and says,

" Whew, that was to close." Ben is about to go on before he hears noises and sees James and Hiryuumon running up to him before Hiryuumon says,"

BOSS! Are you all right!"

Ben chuckles and rolls over his back and sits up before he says,"

Well, it was close but thanks to these guys it worked out. By the way, thanks for saving my life mister, um, red and yellow guy."\ The fox chuckles before extending his hand and saying," My name is Miles" Tails" Prower, though I am fine with just being called Tails.

Here is Knuckles, my friend and the guarding of the Master Emerald and the Angel Island. By the way, this is Angel Island."

Ben grins and says,

" So, it's just like Shadow said, that means the others are ok?" Knuckles crosses his arms and says,"

If you mean the two blond guys then yah they are fine. They seemed more worried about you and we were all going to go looking for you till Tails and his machines picked up some wacky stuff. Then that Cloud guy said it might be you so, yah. Guess we better find them, they seemed worried. Well, they still might be at the altar. By the way, who is the dragon dude? Did Sonic make a new friend that I was not aware of, again?"

James chuckles and says,"

Not to be ungrateful but it's a long story and since we are short on time it might be best if we wait till everyone is present to give a summery.

"Tails nods and says, "Fair enough, we have to act fast anyway or even Sonic won't be fast enough to save the day this time!"

Knuckles nods and says,

" All right guys, fallow me.

" Knuckles then leads everyone to where the others are, and two minutes later Ben sees a alter in front of him, one with a giant green emerald shinning with light with several smaller different colored gems on pillars. Ben also sees Cloud, Doug, Amy, and Shadow all looking tense before they spot their comrades! Doug at once spots his friends and says,"

Ben, James, you guys made it! Nice, two for two!"

The other members of Squad 7 then run up as Cloud says,"

We sensed your energy, as faint as it was we knew there was no reason to give up hope. Glad you pulled through, are plan was going to either take as serious detour or you two would have had to wait for a while." Ben grins and says," Sorry to worry you guys, I screwed up and only realized how deadly Demyx really was before it was too late."

Cloud nods and says," You two did all right, it's your first battle with a elite Dark Enji after all and thankfully it was not your last. You just did what you could do at the moment, and since you seemed to navigate your way back to us both of you seem to have a knack for improvising out of the unknown."

Ben grins and says,"

Guess we just tried to make the best of the situation. Looks like it worked for the both of us since you guys are here safely."

Doug nods and says,"

After you guys went AWOL Cloud owned that punk Demyx hard core. Axel then field to save his sorry rear and after that we decided the best thing to do was to continue the plan. Thankfully it all seemed to work out." James nods and says,

" Understandable, as unpleasant as it is to be left behind it's even more unpleasant to see a world destroyed. So, I see you guys meet Sonic's friends Tails and Knuckles, does that mean you found Sonic himself?"

Shadow is about to comment on that before all of a sudden everyone hears a wild cocky male voice then say,"

They made it to the party just in time, and it seems you guys just managed to jump over to the boat before it sailed!"

Ben, James and Hiryuumon look around before they hear that voice yell out in excitement! Ben looks up and sees what seems to be a blue furred humanoid hedgehog with spiky quells, light peach skin, greenish black eyes, wearing light weight, hyper friction resistant red sneakers with a white strap cuffs and white gloves with sock-like cuffs descend from the sky riding a skateboard like object! This new arrival lands right between Ben and Cloud before forming a cocky grin and saying,"

So you're the rest of the E team eh? Sonic's the name, speeds my game! It's a blast to meet you I am sure!

"Ben nods and says,"

So, you're Sonic the Hedgehog, the great speedy hero of this world? My name is Ben Auro, and it's a pleasure to meet you. So, you're really as fast as they say?"

All of a sudden he feels someone tapping him and is shocked to see its Sonic! Sonic chuckles before he seems to wrap around the area like a blue blur before he then wags his finger in his most preferred manner and saying,'

Nah, I am way faster! So, you guys made it through some nasty times eh? I meet your friends, they seem like cool guys. So, you up for an adventure that's going to be more than a little intense?

" Ben chuckles and says," Well, guess we will find out soon enough if I really am ready but, one thing is for sure and its theses Zeon maniacs have to be stopped!

"Sonic's eyes get a tad more serious before he kicks up the skateboard he was using up and says,"

No joke man, whatever this Zeon Federation says it's about, all I see them act like, are like a bunch of grade A jerks! Even that smelly Eggman does not stoop to some of the stuff theses self absorbed punks are doing! I mean, they tried to capture me because they said I had a," Trouble maker" history and took me to meet there general! However, there flight was horrible, no movies, food, or even a decent seat! So I gave them the slip, took the Chaos Emerald they had stolen and gave them the slip! Heh, they think they were so great but I was so fast that they had no clue I went to vist Knuckles! "

Tails groans and says," Take them seriously Sonic, even all of us and the GUN forces combined are not enough to take on their entire division!

" Cloud nods and says," Don't worry Tails, that's why we are here. This General Ginias may have hired more men than we expected, but, together we and the others should be able to help you free your world."

Sonic grins and says," Well, seems you guys are all right, this might be even more fun then I realized! "

Doug pounds his fists together and says," No doubt about it Sonic, looks like we are shaping up to form one lean mean commando machine here! We even got a dragon dude now! Who is he anyway, one of your pals?" Sonic Shadow and the others all notice Hiryuumon before Sonic raises an eyebrow and says,"

Oh, I never seen this fella before in my life. You know who he is Shadow?"

His rival shrugs before Cloud says,"

You seem to have worked with this new ally Ben, he is an ally right?

" Before Ben can respond Hiryuumon grins and says,"

Hey everyone, my name is Hiryuumon and it's nice to meet you all! Ben and James here hatched me from the egg I was sleeping in so since they seem like nice cool guys I guess they are my partners! If your all Ben's friends, then I guess I am your friend to!"

Cloud looks shocked and says,"

Hiryuumon, that means, you're a digimon? Wait, so, you hatched him Ben?"

Ben chuckles and pats Hiryuumon on the back and says,"

Well, it's kind of a long story. Still, at least everyone is hear so here it goes.

" With that Ben and James explain just what happened after the battle with the members of the Organization. After James fills out the things Ben misses and the story is fully told the audience of their tale takes it all in before Sonic whistles and says,

" Man, you guys seem nearly have as much knack for wiggling out of trouble as me! So, that's what that idiot doctor is up to theses days huh? I knew he would not sit still during this mess. Well, as much bad news as he usually is as long as it does not make dealing with Zeon worst then we can afford to put him on hold.'

Amy then giggles and says,"

Hopefully Doctor Robotnik will be able to see what is for the best and help us defeat the Zeon Federation. Then everything will go back to how they should be!"

Ben nods and says," Don't worry Amy, together we will show all the Zeon higher ups just how bad a "business investment" making such a stupid war will be!

"Everyone cheers in agreement and all of a sudden Hiryuumon goes right up to Amy and shifts her! Amy freaks out at seeing the dragon move his head all over her before she jumps back and says,"

Ew, what are you doing you rude thing! Are you thinking about eating little old me?

Or are you trying to, " evaluate" me? Either way, back off now before you regret it!"

James grimaces at his new friends careless rudeness and pulls Hiryuumon back before saying in a scolding tone.

" That's enough Hiryuumon. A word of the wise, it's rude to get up in someone's face and smell them without permission, and that goes double for females."

Hiryuumon turns to James and says,

" Oh really? That sounds odd. Sorry James, it's just that this Amy girl smells, different than others.

" Ben sees Amy forming a even deadlier glare and sees Sonic, Tails, and even Shadow are looking tense before he chuckles nervously and says,"

Hiryuumon, I know it smells funny but that's just perfume. Some girls may put on some, exotic smells but it's a girl thing trust me." Hiryuumon narrows his eyes on Amy and says,"

If you say so Ben. It's just, I can't smell anything from her at all, just like those robots! Here, ill prove it! Dragon Punch!"

With this to everyone's horror Hiryuumon quickly lunges up and smashes Amy in the right side of her face so hard that she goes flying through the rock behind her! Everyone is dumbfounded as Knuckles says,"

Hey, what do you think you're doing! Sure Amy can be annoying but there is still something called manners you know!"

Ben looks mortified he says,"

What is wrong with you! Even if you think something is wrong you can't just attack an ally! Er, are you all right Amy? I am really, really sorry about this! I promise this is not the policy on how Enji Knights do things!"

Everyone hears a growing sound and braces themselves, before they see Amy emerge from the other side of the rock! However, to everyone's shock Amy is even more furious then they expected because her left eye is red, and sparking! Amy is glaring at Hiryuumon and says,"

You digital brat, HOW DARE YOU!" Cloud clears his throat and says,"

Um, guys, just what powers does she have?"

Shadow gets wary and says," Aside from extreme rage and stubbornness that causes Sonic to fear her more then his worst enemies, none. Wait, those eyes, her face, Hiryuumon might have been right after all!

"Amy then lowers her hand before everyone sees the left side of her face has a dent, and is metal! She then giggles bitterly and says,"

You disgusting digimon, you ruined everything. I spent so much time perfecting this girl's annoying behavior, to the point that I duped you morons! But, now it's all ruined because I forgot to input a scent to the masking protocol!"

Sonic gets angry as he then says,"

All right, shows over faker! Amy may be a pain but she is one of us so return her to us pronto!

" His responds is this red eyed being grasping her hands before saying in a all of a sudden dead cold tone,"

I can do better than that Sonic the hedgehog, I'll send you and your comrades to where she will soon be going herself! Yes, as things are, it's time to move to the next phase anyway!"

Everyone then sees the Amy imposter turn to a entirely liquid shape before the entire body of this being morphs in to what appears to be a robotic dark blue version of Sonic! Sonic at once recalls the blazing red eyes glaring right at him before he gets angry and says," Metal Sonic! What the, how long have you been pretending to be Amy?"

Doug swings his arm around before saying," Well, that explains why she, or it, hurt like hell. "

" Metal Sonic laughs before saying,"

For two weeks now my inferior organic counterpart. The doctor decided this time it would be best if he started his plan before you were even aware, and I kidnapped her and in turn assumed her identity one night to get close to you all! It's to my great pleasure that you were not even aware of my true identity. I wanted to destroy you before you know what hit you, but I can fix this, error to the plan. You should be aware Sonic; I am even stronger and faster than before! On top of that I have the data from those like Gemerl and others assimilated in to my power, this time I truly am superior to you in every way!

" Everyone gets ready for a fight as they see the metal quills on Metal Sonic begin to rotate like a chainsaw before Sonic rolls his eyes and says,"

Yawn, been there, done that! I don't care how much upgrades Eggman gave you, between all of us here there is no way this is not ending with you back in the junk yard!"

Metal Sonic then has his eyes glow red before he says," The power levels of some of you are indeed impressive. As things stand now my chances of victory are not as high as I would like. I suppose ill have to do something to rectify that!" With this all of a sudden a blinding flash of light blasts out of Metal Sonic's eyes with such intensity that everyone is blinded! Ben then tries to look around but it hurts to keep his eyes open and so he widely swings around and says,"

What the, what happened?"

James franticly tries to look around before he says,"

He blinded us Ben! And, we can't even sense him since he is a machine!"

All of a sudden everyone hears a humming like sound before Knuckles gasps and says,"

Wait, no, not this, not again! Stay away from the Master Emerald you creep! "

Everyone slowly regains there sight, just in time to see that Metal Sonic is charging for the Master Emerald, with his chest glowing red! Small black wires then extend out of its chest and head for the smaller gems in the area before Metal Sonic chuckles and says,"

I don't think so you organic vermin. I learned well from previous battles, I won't let you use the power of the Chaos Emeralds against me! With the power of both the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emeralds I will be stronger than any other being in the planet, in the galaxy! It's time for all of you to, GUH!"

All of a sudden everyone sees a strong dent appear in the right side of Metal Sonic's head before he rockets to the ground so hard that he leaves an impact where he lands! As pieces of ground go flying up Ben chuckles and says," Man Sonic, you really are fast." Sonic looks embarrassed as he says,"

Well, I can move this fast and more Ben but, that was not me."

Before anyone can commit further an amused chuckle is heard before a cold voice says,

" Don't delude yourself you pathetic machine, there is absolutely no chance of your victory. I will see to it personally."

Metal Sonic then gets up and turns around to face his attacker, and to everyone's surprise it's none other than Ezan! Metal Sonic sees the silver haired warrior calmly looking at him before he says,

" Who are you, another one of theses so called warriors of light? Bring as many as you like, ill destroy you all! "

Ezan takes off the shades he was wearing before saying,"

That will hardly be needed. Tsc, I don't know why the others are being sloppy but the mission has no time to waste on minor nuisances.

"Metal Sonic gives off a robotic bitter snicker before he says,"

Hah,you really think you can defeat me you pathetic human? You may be fast enough to get me by surprise but now I know your there, and I won't stop attacking till your dead!

" Ezan just calmly takes out his Soul Eater sword before closing his eyes and saying,"

My, I did not expect such arrogance from a mere robot. I wonder, will you also be able to display the proper dismay when you realize what your fate is?

" Metal Sonic then rotates his fist and punch's the ground before he says,

" ENOUGH!" Metal Sonic then bends over and prepares to do his variation of Sonic's spin dash attack as his quill blades rotate even more intensely and also glow red!

Metal Sonic then dashes like a buzzing cannon ball at his target, ripping the ground up as he goes off, and to everyone's shock Ezan does not move at all! As Metal Sonic finishes his charge he lands on his feet he sees Ezan has not moved a inch and while it's a hazy view thanks to his own attack he laughs once more and says,"

HAH! See, you can't keep up with my speed, you can't even touch me when I am on the offensive!

" Ezan then turns around and looks at Metal Sonic with a confident smirk before he says,"

Actually, I just did. "

Metal Sonic sneers as his chest extends to form red energy before he then says,"

Enough! I'll show you your place, once and for, RAHH!"

All of a sudden Metal Sonic begins to have sparks crackle around his body, before he is horrified to see that his body is splitting in two! Metal Sonic roars out in fury as he sees Ezan is calmly gazing at him before he says," It, must be a trick! How did you attack me without moving! It must have been a trick like Chaos Control; there is no way a mere human can move at such speed."

Ezan then forms a cold grin as he says,"

True, but I am no mere human you pitiful tool. I am a super elite warrior, and as you perish let the last thing you compute be what such a difference is!

" Metal Sonic's eyes begin to flicker back and forth before he weakly chuckles and says,"

Oh, I will remember this, Enji Knight! Yes, don't think, this is the end. Merely losing a body will only slow me down. Once I, analyze your data, ill have revenge on you all! You will all, RAHHG!"

With that Metal Sonic's head and chest fall to pieces before a barrage of explosions blast out of his body till he is nothing left but a pile of scrap. Everyone watches in awe as Ezan slowly puts his blade away like a samurai before he then says,"

Bah, if this is the extend of are resistance, the enemies will pay dearly for being so foolish."

Sonic just whistles in amazement before saying,"

I don't know who you are man but you all ready got my respect for how fast you are! Seriously, even I have to push myself fast enough for Metal Sonic to not even notice, and you made it seem like it was a cinch! "

Ben crosses his arms and tries not to look emasculated as he says,"

Well, I have to hand it to you Ezan, there is no doubt that you earn your reputation as the number one Genji.

"Doug nods and says," As uptight as he is, at least he can put his money where his mouth is. Still, he really is an elite warrior if he can just show up to save the day like that.

' Cloud chuckles and says,"

Its, not to random that he is hear Doug. I did contact Squall Terra and Sabin when we arrived to tell them where to meet us. It would seem Ezan was just faster than the rest."

Ezan then instantly turns to Cloud and the rest and salutes him before saying,"

Captain Strife, I am glad I was able to make it in time to help the stability of the mission. Captain Lionheart and the rest of the squad will be arriving shortly, as will the others. I came ahead to secure the area, good thing I decided to fallow the plan."

Cloud nods and says," Good thing you did, seems there was even more unexpected factors in this mission."

Ezan nods and says," Understandable, I came to this mission to do what others could not for the sake of justice, and I see that it was not for nothing. "

Ben shrugs and says," Metal Sonic was tricky but we could have handed it. Still, thanks for making this whole problem easier Ezan."

Ezan gives Ben a dismissive glance before he says,"

Bah, maybe if you could do your jobs correctly I would not have to do yours. Oh well, I don't mind extra excise."

Ben tries to keep his cool as he says," Let's just say, there were a lot of complications popping up left and right today Ezan."

Ezan walks sternly up to the wieldier of the Star Sword before he says,"

War always brings complications; if you cannot adapt to handle them that means you are unfit to ever have hope to be a warrior. But alas, has your squad found anything related to the succession of the mission?"

Cloud looks up and says,"

We know the Zeon Federation is so determined to kill anyone that gets in their way they are not only working with any mercenary that they can hire but even some of the elite members of the Dark Enji. We fought two of them; I nearly killed one of them but the other escaped with his comrade before I could finish him. Seems between the enemy you just destroyed and what Ben and James found on their detour it seems the local enemy of this world Doctor Robotnik is also on the move.

"James nods and says,"

Yes, it led us to finding Hiryuumon, and another one of the Crystal Shards for Ben's star sword. Furthermore, we have a lead on where the Zeon forces are working on their weapon."

James is about to elaborate before Ezan turns to James and says,"

Ah, good then you can conform if the info I acquired is correct. The source I, extracted the info from implied that the forces under General Ginias Sahalin are trying to gather the resources of this world to make some super weapon, a mobile armor named the Apsalus." James readjusts his glasses before he says,"

I see, are you sure the source of information you found was correct Ezan?"

Ezan chuckles before he tightens his fist and says,"

Well, since he saw what I did to his comrades, what I did to him, and what I was about to do to him there was a rather good chance that he was telling the truth. If that private was lying I can always return to follow through with my threat but for now between that and the information the man named Espio gathered there is enough chance that the area where General Ginias is constructing the Apsalus in the area around what is known as Red Mountain for us to act on it. Shadow nods and says,

" That area has had a history of being hard to monitor, even more so lately. It's entirely possible."

Sonic taps his foot and says,"

Then let's do this! No way I am letting theses jerks ruin are world for their own profit! Not to mention finding the real Amy in whatever box that smelly Egg man stuffed her in, it's going to be a long day all right. Oh well, those are the funniest days anyway!

"Cloud nods and says,"

You have my word Sonic, we will do everything in our power to stop General Ginias and save your world regardless of who is on his payroll. Are forces will all be here shortly, so we will just make final preparations and begin this. Shadow, if anyone else wants to join in, now is the time to let us know.

" Shadow nods and says," Ill contact Rouge and the GUN commander to see who will be able to fight. Rest assured, this world won't just let others give it its freedom."

Knuckles pounds his fists together and punch's the air above him before he says,"

You got that right Shadow! I had it with theses self absorbed Zeon punks! I'll give them independence from my fist before they know it!"

Doug nods and says,"

I sure as hell would love to get back on those black wearing punks for messing with us. I don't care how powerful or special they are, anyone who acts that full of themselves deserves to get there face smashed in!

" Ezan snickers and says," That aggression will get you killed before you know it you fool. Those who are not aware of the situation in front of them are the first to die."

Doug gets angry and is about to say something before Cloud raises his hand and says,"

However bluntly he is saying it Doug, Ezan is telling the truth. There is no doubt that General Ginas will have his headquarters heavily fortified. I, fought with him during the Irazos Civil war, and I know he is a man who takes every precaution. Who knows how many others he hired to guard him, at the very least we will have to take down Axel, maybe Demyx, and maybe even that commander Axel was talking about.

This is going to be rough, make no mistake about it.

' Ben nods and says,"

Maybe so, but I know we can do this! Together, I know we have what it takes to do this!

"Sonic just looks excited before he says," Don't worry, I know we got this down."

With that Ben hears something and sees a few ships descend in to the area. The hero's of Mobius get tense but Cloud sees the marking on the shuttles and says,

" Don't worry guys, those are our allies. Looks like the others were able to successfully sneak through the Zeon blockades sensors. All right, time to plan the moment of truth. Let's go guys; we have a world to save and a battle to win."

Ben sees in the distance people all ready stepping out of the shuttle and realizes that one of the people is Lacus before he sees Hiryuumon looking confused and just grins before saying,"

Well, sorry it is so jarring Hiryuumon. Wish that we had more time to go over things."

The Digimon just grins and says,"

I am fine Ben, ill just fallow you guys and I know it will all be all right. After all, the chosen hero is not going to lose to theses jerks right boss?"

Ben grins and pets his new friend before saying," You got it Hiryuumon. I won't let you, or anyone else down today, I promise."

Ben then sees Squall, Terra, Rouge, Zidane, Brad and others also landing out of the shuttles before looking in the distance and thinking,"

It's been one long day all right, and it's just going to be even longer before it's all over. But, no matter what other surprises are in store, I refuse to die today! Now more than ever I know this destiny is no dream of mine, and I am not going to blow it! I will prove to everyone I am no joke, for the fate of this world I have to, we have to pull it off!"

With this Ben fallows his friends and comrades to meet up with the rest of those who are to take part in the battle that will decide the fate of the entire world of Mobius! But, before we can see if the good guys have what it takes to win we will have to wait a bit longer because this is where we call it a day! Well, Ben and James narrowly escaped the jaws of death and managed to meet Hiryuumon before meeting Sonic and his friends, and seeing just where the source of all the trouble on this world is! However, now he and the others know where to go, can they do anything to stop defeat? Things are going to heat up to the boiling point so tune in next time to the next action packed chapter of Tales of the Cosmic Wars!

In are next chapter the battle for Mobius truly begins as The united freedom fighters of Mobius and the Enji Knights launch a full scaled assault on the Zeon headquarters dubbed the "Zeon Garrison Zone" to stop General Ginas from getting the White Chaos Emerald powered mobile Armor the Apsalus from lifting off and turning all of Mobius to a grave yard as a statement of the power of the Zeon Federation! However, sadly as soon as the mission begins thanks partly to Brad's arrogant bloodlust any hopes of a stealthy start to the mission are blown away and everyone has to fight through their lives to get through the countless trenches of death that their enemies have set for them! The good guys find that getting to the Apsalus is had enough thanks to the forces being led under former Enji Master Craft, but thanks to Doctor Robotnik and the Dark Enji both having their own agenda, that on top of the shadowy third Dark Enji and his agenda makes this battle turn in to one downright case of hard core insanity! Can Ben, Sonic and co survives such insanity or will this war end with the victory of the ruthless forces of evil? Only one way to find out so stay tuned to

Chapter 10 : The Battle for Mobius, Struggling Past the Grinder of Devastation!

See you there! But, before we go, just a few authors notes. First of all, I know things were a little different then how they were in the original chapter but, well, I figured they were all just minor modifications to make the story even better so hopefully no one minds too much. Let's see, just to fill things out if it helps the place where Ben and James found Hiryuumon could be said as a mix of the Mystic Caverns from Sonic 2, and the Lost World level of Sonic Adventure.

On top of that to help give people a better image of Ben's digimon pal the best way to say how he looks is for him to be a cross of Guilmon and Monodramon. If your Digimon fans hope that helps, if you're not, hopefully Digimon Wika can help with that lol. Another minor note, just to clear things up Orbot is from Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colors, he is just the annoying sidekick that only is there for comic relief and bashes Robotnik, which is odd since the Egg man created him. I know technically when this story started Sonic Unleashed was not out yet but, I don't think my stories timeline is bound to a little recon , and it was mostly for a bit of humor and for me to show my, disgust with needless useless henchmen. Sigh, Sega, do you really want Robotnik to lose all creditability and give him minions even more worthless then the Sonic Cartoon witch Scratch and Grounder? Eh, with that I better end it here before I get in to rant mode lol.

So with that, hope everyone enjoyed this Chapter, till then, that's all folks.
