Chapter X: Darkness arrives

[Music Advertise: SA2... in the groove]

I am Icezer Chaotic the hedgehog and chances are you know my brother as either Rage the Hedgehog or Prince Burning Rage. He is the guardian of Chaos and one of the best brothers you could ask for! Wait you mean to tell me Nazo and Scourge are coming!? Oh god how can this be possible!? Oh well I need to keep it together I can't be weak I know Rage is counting on me for help!

[music stop]

Rage, Christain and Icezer sit in The Palace of Friendship with Discord, Celestia, Luna, Shining Armor, Shadow the Hedgehog, Cadence, and the mane 6 with them. "Nazo and Scourge are coming and we don't have much time if we aren't ready then we can kiss Equestria good-bye." Icezer says to his pony pals

"But they are no match for Rage!" Fluttershy says

"Actually..." Rage sighs "These two are the only two that have proven to be major threats to me... In fact Nazo nearly killed me the last time I battled him and he wasn't at full power.

"So if those two are teamed up..." Twilight says worried "We may not have a chance at all."

"Hmph." Shadow grunts "If Sonic wasn't such a dumbass those two wouldn't be coming in the first place."

"We can discuss that later Shadow." Christain says "Right now we need to prepare to protect the ponies of Equestria."

"Here's the plan I had." Rage says "If each of you, Cadence, Shining Armor, Celestia, Luna, Xage, Icezer and Lunar Relic can go to one of the towns and keep a protection field up around the town we can keep all ponies safe. While you do that Shadow, Christain, Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and I will fight the two." Rage looks at them for their approval

"It is better then anything I can think of." Celestia says "Let's do it." with her approval the group splits up leaving the nine to prepare for battle on a field outside of Ponyville.

"Alright guys this is going to be the hardest challenge we have ever faced. This may be the last time I speak to you so I want to say if we do not get a chance later... goodbye." Rage says with fear in his voice

"Don't talk like that Rage you won't die we will fight alongside you so we will die with you." Twilight says and his friends nod in back-up

"Are you done with the mushy stuff cause looks whose here!" Shadow says looking to two balls of energy one green and the other a gray-blue. They land dispelling some energy as Scourge and Nazo look at the group. The heroes look in anger and determination at the two.

"Why who are these eight Shadow?' Scourge chuckles

"What are you looking at?" Nazo asks "Keep that look up and I will kill you."

"Nazo and Scourge?" Rage says acting like he doesn't know them "Am I right?"

"That is correct." Nazo says

"Sonic warned us about you." Rage says

"Figures." Scourge says "That hedgehog would go get anything to get away."

"Enough!" Rage says

"Watch your attitude little pony or you won't see the light of day again." Nazo says

"I will give you one warning now Nazo and Scourge the hedgehogs leave this place now or else."

"Oh such a brave little one." Scourge chuckles "Now just who do you think you are to tell us two of the most powerful beings in existence what to do?"

"My name is Prince Burning Rage Prince of unity and Guardain of this world and along with my friends we will force you out of here if we must."

the two look at Rage before cracking up as if he was joking "Now you have wasted enough of my time." Nazo says forming an orb of energy "Tell us where the Chaos Emeralds are and we will spare your lives."

"I have no idea what you are talking about." Rage lies

"You're lying I can sense the power of them." Nazo says launching the energy orb at them only for Twilight to protect them.

"Alright then have it your way!" Rage says "Shadow Christain now!" he says as he launches magic at the two foes.

"Chaos Spear!" Shadow yells as Christain summons his Shadowbreaker and slices at Nazo who had just avoided the Chaos Spear as Rage follows Scourge with a Fire spell.

"Dark Ball!" Nazo yells throwing a large ball into the sky making Rage look in fear 'Oh no!' he thinks he knew this move if he didn't change now that attack will kill all of them. Rage flys into the air as Nazo laughs as he follows it through the clouds.

In the air Rage starting from the head a ring of light changes him to his hedgehog form as he puts his hand up to grab the attack and as he falls he pushes to stop it.

"any minute now this world will be nothing but a wasteland!" Nazo laughs as the glow gets brighter and the ball almost impacts the ground but is then stopped. "What the?!" he yells as Rage stands up pushing the ball up with one hand and a beam of light shoots the ball back up and turns it to vapor. "Who the-" Nazo growls looking at Rage in anger

"Long time no see Nazo." Rage says

"Rage Chaotic the Hedgehog!" he asks "But what happened to that pony who went after the Dark Ball?"

"You're looking at him" Rage says summoning his Blade of Chaos "I am Rage Chaotic the Hedgehog the Last of The Chaos Guardians AKA Prince Burning Rage the Prince of Unity and the Guardian of Equestria!" Rage chuckles

"You are not getting away with this!" Christain yells "Dawn Slice!" he says striking Scourge with a slice of light energy

"Agh!" he yells in pain "You will pay..." he says before a foot hits him in the head delivered by Shadow.

"Chaos Tech 88: Flames of Chaos!" Rage yells forming fires striking Nazo "Dark Chaos Aura!" Rage says with a glow Nazo felt his healing deminish

"What the-" Nazo pants "my healing..." he looks at Scourge "very well... Dark Fusion!" he yells as he and Scourge fuse into one blue green hedgehog.

"Oh no." Rage gasps

"You are done for!" he laughs as he is hit with a light speed attack from Sonic "Who did that?" the foe asks

"Looks like I am not too late to crash the party." Sonic chuckles

"Sonic!" Rage says as Twilight and her friends attempt a Rainbow Blast only to have it deflected and hit them doing a number to them. Rage looks in horror at them. The closing his eyes in anger he summons the Chaos Emeralds "alright that's it... guys its time we end this!" he says as the Emeralds spin turning Rage into his Perfect Chaos and the other two to their Hyper forms as he and Shadow have their Inhibitor Rings fly off. "now Shadow, Sonic!" Rage yells

"Right." the other two say as the three yell "Chaos Control!" and they warp where Rage was as they form their Triple Fusion Radic

"What the who are you?" Nazo asks though they were fused Nazo must still have had full control.

"I am..." the hedgehog says before warping to the hedgehog and roundhouse kicking him to the ground "Radic" he says
