Chapter XI: Assembling a team

I'm Rage, Rage Chaotic!

If I didn't know any better I wouldn't know what to think when I discovered the dark secret about my families blood and now it looks like if I can't find a way to stop Vlagh who I thought died back in Altestia then I guess you can kiss your world goodbye soon enough. The man Aster who was posing as my darkness for years finally revealed everything and now I must gather all of my friends... this battle will not be easy I just hope I can find Emerald my apprentice since he will be useful in saving the worlds. He was off on something to do with his family and I haven't heard from him since.

I hope you are ready Vlagh because I swear I will not give up easily my friends and I will succeed as we always do! And I know with our combined powers nothing stands in our way! Now all I have to do is get him out of Justin... easy the hard part will be finding him...

Rage stood at the edge of a cliff looking out among the skyscrapers of The Dark Legions City and soon he sees something... up on one of the walks ways of The Dark Fortress was Justin! This was his chance and he knew it as he leaps up and activates Chaos Control to meet the dark fox.

"So far so good..." Justin says before Rage appears

"Well well well... a little late to be here isn't it Justin or should I say... Vlagh." Rage says smiling

"so you figured it out hedgehog..." he chuckles "but how can you defeat me when I am in here?"

"Like this..." Rage smirks as he forms a claw of energy "Extract that which does not belong Chaos Tech 804: Judgment Claw!" he yells as he stabs Justin with it turning him back into Vlagh.

"Very well then... we shell decide this at the fated place... when you are ready meet us here and we will show you the way..." Vlagh says panting

"I would kill you hear but I will give you a fair chance." Rage says "You can count on it..."

"That might just be your death move..." Vlagh says as Rage fades into the shadows.

[Mobius- Hikari,Wind and Masons home]

(14:00/2 PM)

Rage walks up to the porch of the house and knocks on the door. After a few seconds Wind the Hedgehog answers "Oh Rage what's going on?"

"It's important is Hikari here?" Rage asks

"you just missed him. Hikari and Mason went out to exterminate the Dark Spawns that surfaced in Blue Ridge Zone." Wind replies

"Okay thank you." Rage says as the hedgehog closes the door and Rage departs for Blue Ridge where of course he finds Hikari and Mason.

"Rage!" Mason says noticing the crimson hedgehog

"Dad what brings you here?" Hikari asks

"I need you help." Rage says

"Do you now?" Hikari asks "What's going on?"

"You remember about the Vlagh guy I told you about?" Rage asks and the young hedgehog nods "Well he's back and it is time to put an end to him but I need all the help I can get." he explains

"Well count me in then." Hikari says

"I will come too if it's okay." Mason says

"The more the merrier." Rage says looking at the two "Thank you I have a few more people I need to get and then I will be back can you meet me on Angel Island?" he asks them and they nod

"Good luck Rage." Hikari waves as Rage runs off

[Westopolis- Appt. of Shaodow and Sonic]

{16:00/4 PM}

Rage walks up to the door of the small home the two famous hedgehogs lived in and rings the door bell for Shadow to answer it. "who is it Shads?" Sonic yells

"Its Rage!" he yells back

"Hay you guys got a moment?" Rage asks

"Yeah come in." Shadow says inviting the crimson hedgehog in to sit down. Sonic was on the PS3 playing Castlevania Lords of Shadow as the red hedgehog sits down he pauses.

"What's up Rage?" the blue speedster asks

"I need your guys' help in fighting Vlagh again." Rage says

"You mean the Vlagh the required you of all people to use a Chaos Fusion?" Sonic asks and Rage nods

"Yeah but he is even more powerful this time, and I am going to need all the help I can get." Rage looks at Sonic "Will you help me?"

"Sure thing," Sonic says with a thumbs up "After all you brought me back to life so I kind of owe ya anywho." he says as a gunshot is heard and the turn to see Shadow with his pistol aimed at a target

"Hmph count me in too I have waited too long to bust a cap in that poor sods face..." Shadow says

"You've met him?" Rage asks

"Long time ago, and a longer story better I don't speak of it." Shadow replies

"Very well." Rage says "Let's go Mason, Hikari and Wind are waiting for us on Angel Island to head for Equestria so we can stop him."

"Right behidn ya Rage." Sonic says as the two follow Rage back to the Mystic Ruins and Angel Island where their three sons awaited.

"It's like a family reunion... sorta." Wind smirks as he sees the three "Sonic and Shadow!"

"Like Rage said he will need all the help he can get besides they have a three way fusion that they can use if things get too bad." Hikari says "Are we ready?" he asks and Rage nods

"Prepare yourselves." he says before transporting the Island back to Equestria. As they arrive instantly they head for Twilight's palace to begin planning what exactly they will be doing to stop their foe.

"This may be our hardest challenge yet." Rage says as they pass the edge of the floating island. "I have no idea what we will be up against so expect the worst of the Dark Spawns in order to reach Vlagh."

"Bring it on! I'll smash em all up!" Sonic chuckles

"It will make great target practice." Shadow chuckles
