Part 10:

"Shut up!" Christain yells "Mephilies you want to show him?"

"With pleasure!" Mephilies chuckles snapping his fingers

"Well what is it your are showing…" Rage gets out before a dark figure glides by clawing at him, then going up next to mephilies

"Some guardian you are!" She spits

"What do you mean you took the fake emerald." Rage chuckles opening his eyes

"Wait….. CHRISTINA?"

"Correction…My sister!" Christain laughs

"I hope you don't mind I took her while you were gone." Mephiles says

"….I….will…KILL YOU!" Rage yells emitting a dark energy

"Rage Calm down you know what happens when your Darkness gets the best of you!" Icezer yells

"…" Rage says nothing when he finishes all he does in disappear.

"Where is he?" Asks Christain

"If I knew I would tell you!" Mephiles says

"Chaos Beam!" Dark Rage yells from behind Mephiles

"oof!" Mephiles grunts the chaos emerald flying out of his hand.

"I'll take that!" Rage says back in his normal form

"You will pay for this!" Mephiles growls warping his team away

"Rage, is your team ok?" Sonic asks

"Yeah, were ok." Rage says "we got the chaos emerald."

"Lets get to theshrine and Rendezvous" Sonic says

"Hmph meet you there" Rage chuckles

Shrine of the Master emerald; 09:00

"Sonic you made it!" Rage says as Sonics team runs up the stairs to the shrine.

"Rage, Sonic We have very bad news" Says Tikal emerging from the Master Emerald

"What is it?" Sly asks

"I bet its not good…" Light says

"Well duh she did say it was Bad News" Sj says

"Hay are you doubting me?" Light growls

"Maybe.." Sj says

"Light calm down…Sj pleas try to be less annoying remember last time you did this.." Rage says Annoyed of their bickering

Flashback…

"Sj shut up!" Shadow yells his rings coming off of his wrists.

"Chaos…."

"Ah shit…" Rage says

"BLAST!" Shadow yells releasing a burst of Chaos energy

End of Flashback

"Oh yeah…" Sj says not really caring

"Ugh…" Rage says face-palming

"STOP IT!" Amunet screams "You guys are acting like little kids!"

"Anyway… before I was rudely interrupted… guys Mephiles has designed dark versions of the Chaos Emeralds with the 2 he has." Tikal growls

"So that's the Dark energy I've been feeling." Rage says

"But that's not all… He has special people that control the power of the emeralds. To defeat Mephiles you need to kill all 7 of them to weaken the Dark Emeralds enough to even have a fighting chance."

"Of course this won't be easy…" Sonic says rolling his eyes

"Also G.U.N. found that there is a total of 10 rifts in to the Dark Realm. All located in different locations." Tikal says

"Do you know the locations?" Dash asks

"Well not exactly I only know the Zone they are in. There in, Blue Ridge, Robot Metropolis, Death Mountains, Station Square sewers, The one in Westopolis you already found, One in the Ruins of Central city from when the Black Arms attacked, One in Green Hill, there is one in Eggmans old Techno Base where Rage and Jet Raced, and the last one is for some reason on Prison Island." Tikal explains

"How strong are the guys that Mephiles made?" asks Cranic

"Wait I got to more Rifts detected one on the ARK and one in Eggmans old Death Egg that's still orbiting earth." Tails says

"They are supposed to be Dark Variations of ones who can use the Chaos energy from the Chaos Emeralds." Tikal says

"So like me, Sonic, shadow, Sj, Cranic, Sly, and Amunet?" Rage asks

"I don't know who exactly so they could be." Tikal says.

"Well then we should get going to the first Rift." Light says

"Yup were is the first rift Icezer?" Spectra Varin asks

"I know were it is… I just ran out of it…" Says a yellow hedgehog with bat wings, holding a sniper, with black trench coat, jeans, and Chain Mail peeking out from the edges of the pant legs and the shirts sleeves. On his waist was a belt with an M1911, ten daggers in a small pouch with the handles. The belt had a sword sheath connected that held a German long sword.

"Why should we trust you? Cause I know you're a 1/2 demon don't hide it." Rage asks

"Well Because I just escaped from Mephiles and my dad." growls the hedgehog

"Well what does that prove?" Light asks

"That Im not evil." He Barks

"Light, He's good if he was evil he would have killed us by now or at leased attacked us." Rage says "What's your name?"

"Zeb Cuson. Just call me Zeb." The hedgehog grins

"Ok, were is the rift?" Icezer asks

"Its in the Desert near by." Zeb says

"Allright, we should get going we may not know what lies ahead so everyone are your ready?" Rage asks

"Well I need to get A chili dog first. Be back in a jiff!" Sonic says dashing off, only to come back 5 seconds later "Ok lets go!"

"Ok, Zeb lead the way to the rift!" Rage says

"with pleasure my spiky red friend!" Zeb chuckles

"Okay Christtina Im coming to save you!" Rage thinks as the run off
