Sonic Rebirth
Author's Notes: Once again, remember there's Japanese, and that the underlined words are words said in English no matter what, since I assume they are speaking Japanese the whole time
This is also the first chapter you get to meet the future Chaotix, the Chaoti. I'm not sure if it's clear in the story part but Fusion is the daughter of Espio, Edge is the son of Mighty, Sector (Intersector) is the son of Vector, and Rune is the son of Charmy.
Chapter 11
I am Seraphim the Echidna. But just call me Seraphim. There has yet to be a time when I've had a full weekend to myself, but that'd be asking for too much. Practically every free moment of my life since I was five, was spent training to be the guardian to the Master Emerald. Nine years later and nothing has changed that much, except for the fact that I'm not the only one anymore. Instead four of my close, and sometimes not so close of friends are being drug through this routine though not as intense as some "sessions" I remember growing up. They're part of a team called the Chaoti or the "Chaotix", they're a rather odd team of furries who are being trained to take place of the original Chaotix in "assisting" the guardian. Today was no exception to our training through hell.
"Sector! Edge! Go left!" Seraphim shouted, veering to the right.
As she charged toward the stationary turret, she glanced around looking for any sign of a semi-transparent blur. She didn't have much more than a second to confirm that her other friend was still okay before she stepped into the active zone of the turret. During the few seconds it took to rotate into position, Seraphim could feel her heart start to race; this was the moment she lived for.
The sentry finally locked into placed and let loose a barrage of shots. Seraphim wove between the projectiles as she closed in on the cylinder shaped machine. As she neared the blind zone that was dead in front of the sentry, it stopped firing at her and turned away to another target. She didn't have to look to know that it was Rune who it was targeting, she heard his buzzing a few seconds ago and so far the diversion plan seemed to be working like a charm.
As the sentry busied itself trying to foolhardily hit the agile bee, Seraphim charged straight up at the machine not even stopping as she forcibly punched straight thru the machine. Her fist sunk easily through at least half of the machine's three foot diameter, breaking through the outer metal shell was a feat not easily matched. As she pulled her arm out of the smoking and decimated machine, Rune flew down to her eye-level.
Rune was the oldest of the Chaoti, he was also one of the most serious, but he always has been impressed with Seraphim's innate fighting abilities. Since he was the smallest member, he also was the weakest and the only robots he has ever managed to destroy have been by his skill to lead them into traps. It was possibly a combination of those feelings that always made him more apart from the rest.
"Looks like that robot's scrapped," he said neutrally.
Seraphim padded the dust off her gloves admiring her handiwork of making a fist-sized hole through the front of the machine.
"Un," she said, turning to where Rune was looking.
The other guys, Sector and Edge managed to tag-team two of the sentries on the other side. Edge was just finished smashing the targeting lens eye out on the severed top of the sentry. Edge was the only furry or human for that matter, that could match Seraphim's strength, and only three other people were either nearly equally matched or slightly better than her. One of which being her father, who she happened to catch a glimpse of off the side of the "active area," with his arms crossed and looking unmoving as always.
"Hey, Seraphim!" Sector shouted, "Kimi ga osoi yo!" the young alligator said teasingly.
"Yappari, bokura shouri wo sameru zo!" Edge joined in, grinning.
"Fun. Tatakaeba sunawasa katsu yo," Seraphim replied glancing at the two team members paired up with her.
Rune was just hovering on her left trying to not act amused at his team mates' teasing antics. To the right was Fusion, the only true girl member on the Chaoti since Seraphim wasn't exactly a member, more of the leader. Fusion was a ninja and also had a twin brother, Gamut, who wasn't as well versed in ninjitsu as she was. She was standing rather sternly while idly moving a shuriken slowly between her fingers. There were only three turrets left, one left on Sector and Edge's side and the other two that are on their side.
Seraphim spun around in the direction of the next sentry turret, after catching a slight nod from both of her companions, "Yoshi! Iku zo!" she shouted as they charged towards the new turret. Like before the two split off Rune to go high to distract fire if needed as Fusion ran around to the side to throw off its targeting by tossing her shurikens around it's sensory field.
This time the sentry turret was completely occupied trying to find the phantom thrower of the shurikens and the alluding bee to busy itself at attacking Seraphim at all. She decided upon a different tactic this time, instead of punching thru to its core she leapt at it, crushing in the central processing center with her foot. Unfortunately, it didn't go exactly as planned, since a second before she could hop off its head it self-destructed sending her tumbling towards the next turret.
Hitting the ground wasn't the worse part, since managed to land tucking into a ball as she did one roll forward before coming to a stop. It was when she realized a second later that she was dead in the turret's sight with no time to get out of the way.
"Seraphim!!" Rune shouted frantically, immediately realizing the severity of the situation.
Seconds before the turret could fire a half dozen shurikens whizzed by her sight breaking the targeting lens with the others punching small dents in the metal cap to expose a wire. Seraphim turned to the direction they came from to see Fusion half uncloaking from being invisible ready to toss the final shuriken with pin-point accuracy. She quickly jerked back to the sentry a couple of feet away from her, noticing that the wire exposed looked just like the one she tripped when the other one exploded on her.
"Aa, shimataa!" she screamed in horror as the shuriken sliced through the wire.
Seraphim rolled onto her stomach just as the exploding bits roared past above her. Despite being a fairly normal sized turret, it was packing quite a bit of explosives. Luckily none of the flying parts rolled close enough to the ground hit her. After waiting for a moment for the dust to settle she peeled herself off the ground, standing on her hands and knees in a cloud of smoke looking back at the remains of the turret.
"Oh, no! Seraphim!" Fusion called out.
"Daijoubu ka!? Serafimu!" Sector and Edge yelled at the same time while running over.
Rune happened to glance back and catch Seraphim's father, Knuckles, casually walking over to the grouping. The exhausted alligator and armadillo arrived and took up a semi-circular configuration around the settling cloud of dust. Seraphim slowly walked through the cloud toward the dark forms she could see on the other side, trying to avoid choking on the thick, musty dust. Finally reaching the edge of the cloud she stepped out covered in a layer of dust.
"Ah! Seraphim!" Fusion exclaimed pouncing onto her friend, embracing her, "I didn't know it would explode on you like that, honestly." She said profusely, before finally releasing her as Knuckles came to a stop a foot back from the group.
The group turned around and split to two sides, with Sector and Edge on one side of Seraphim and Rune and Fusion on the other, with her father standing right across from her.
"Next time you guys should take more care," he said plainly looking between them all, "And it's not the issue of speed, its accuracy and precision."
He turned to leave, when Seraphim spoke up. "Hey, papa..." she said.
"Hmm?" he said stopping to face her.
"Is this one of your jokes?" she said, mock annoyed as she flicked a tiny colored ball at him no bigger than the size of a marble.
He easily caught it between his thumb and the mitten of his gloves, as it started to ooze out a pinkish liquid.
"Putting paintballs in the guns when you've rigged them to blow up?" she finished, crossing her arms in front of her dusty black and red vest.
Knuckles looked down at the small paintball and grinned at it before tossing it to the side as he turned to leave.
"You always have to expect the worse, Seraphim," he said walking away, "Besides you wouldn't have tried so hard to dodge the 'bullets' and end up setting off the explosives if you knew they were mere paintballs."
Seraphim furrowed her brow slightly, shouting rather loudly to herself as she stormed off, "I knew it! He sets me up every time!"
