Chapter Twelve: Destiny's Gears Broken

"You created the Tenku family line?" the magenta female asked in a freaked out fashion, jumping back at these new revelations.

Relsea nodded slowly, allowing the feline to process the news she was just given. If these gods were able to create family lines, it wasn't much of a surprise what else they could possibly do. This also meant that Shyra's history could finally be revealed. She would be able to get the answers she had been waiting for like who was she? Where did her parents go? Were there any more Tenku family members alive?

"Well then give me some answers. I want to know about my past!" Shyra demanded, clenching her fist to emphasize the point.

The Goddess of Emotion let out a simple sigh and returned a sincere smile at the champion.

"I do suppose you do deserve to know about your origins. Very well, sit down because there is much you must know about." the female said as the two fell to the floor.

"Your parents names' were Shyron and Tensa Tenku, yes, they had gotten married before your birth. It was quite a beautiful wedding indeed and did Shyron ever put on a show." Relsea chuckled.

"So you knew my father pretty well huh?" the cat questioned.

"Of course, I did inhabit his body after all as his Released Form. Your father was such a good spirit and yet he made his life changing decision later on in life." the daughter of Tsumena stated.

"You see, you were born along with your sister and brother, Alexis and Marcus as triplets however you were the unlucky one. You had apparently contracted a disease when you were born and doctors didn't have a cure for you. Out of your father's own will and courage, he transferred my powers into you so you could live in the end."

"So that pretty much eliminated my father from the equation so what of my mother and siblings?"

"With me inside your body, your family lived a normal life until the discovery of your powers by your brother and sister. They labeled you a freak and despised you for what you were and it cost their lives as well. You unconsciously used my powers to kill your entire family and then I used my powers to erase the memories of the incident."

Shyra's majestic cyan eyes began to shake as tears began to roll down her eyes. A murderer and freak, that's what she was. How could her own flesh and blood do such a thing to her? So that's how she became an orphan but this couldn't have just been it. There had to be more Relsea knew.

"Where the hell is the rest of my family?" the cat grabbed the girl by her shoulders, shaking her desperately before sulking to her knees in defeat.

"They're all dead except one."

One of her family members were still alive? Maybe there was still hope for Shyra then. If she was able to find this person, they could help her and Omega defeat the Master and the Infamous Captains. Sadly, she still had to deal with this trial put in front of her.

"Who are they? No better yet, where are they?"

"Her name is Sheva and she is your cousin from your father's side of the family. Unfortunately, I only saw her once and that was when her family sent you to a shelter for orphans and that's where the story of who you are now began." Relsea answered, watching as Shyra stood up and smiled.

"At least there is someone I can turn to in this world. I'm going to get out Paraiso and find this Sheva girl! You're going to help me right?"

The goddess looked away from the heroine before getting an awkward glance from the cat who placed her hand on her shoulder. Shyra knew that it couldn't be, something must have happened that made Relsea reject her.

"Why did you reject me? You let me down when I needed you most."

Relsea turned around and pushed the girl down to the ground before shedding a tear.

"You needed me? You wanted me so you could use my powers for your vengeance against the death of that doctor! Your intentions may be pure but you let your anger and rage go off against Krystilly. You let me down!"

"Well you're the one who made me a freak of nature! I didn't ask for my father to give me life. If it wasn't for your damn uncontrollable powers, I wouldn't be in this situation."

"Of course not because you would be dead! I hated the fact of letting your father die but I didn't want you to die either. He made his sacrifice and yet you only fight to get revenge instead of using your powers for the sake of the world. You're a half goddess and thus you bear the responsibilities of us gods while holding the human world in balance."

"So I'm your little watchdog? I tried to do my best to use your powers for good but you're not the one who was always alone or was betrayed by the ones you loved."

Silence filled the prison they stood in.

Sighs of wrong accusations.

Attacks against each other's flaws.

Silence wasn't their best friend.

The two females came over to one another and embraced, their salty fluids dripping from their eyes as the emotions poured out from their heated argument.

"I'm sorry I wasn't good enough." Shyra apologized.

"I'm sorry for getting all this mixed up. I didn't mean for all of this to happen. I made a mistake." Relsea replied.

"It's alright, we all make mistakes so we have to learn from them. So what's next?"

"I'm not sure honestly, Tsumena most likely will have us both executed or imprisoned for eternity. My mother was never the one to let anyone off easily. But right now, your friend is about to face a difficult challenge."

Omega must be going to fight Metal Sonic then. Hopefully he can do it because I have my own problems right now.

A stone soldier arose in front of their prison and opened the door, releasing Shyra and Relsea. He began to escort them back upstairs as they traversed the building. They reached a lengthy platform with numerous ivory columns and gold armor pieces adorned the doors' sides. A clear window showed the outside, a blue sky and fresh marshmallow clouds floated along. Standing in the middle of this room was Tsumena, a cloaked object standing leaning right upon a pillar.

"Please, leave me with these two. I'll be fine." the goddess said.

The minion released the two ladies before merging with the ground within mere seconds.

"What do you want from us mother?"

"Oh nothing my dear child, I just thought I should be the one to explain why this puny mortal is here and the history of our holy paradise."

The magenta and apricot scythe wielder laughed to herself before speaking.

"Holy paradise? Sorry but it's way off from that." Shyra commented.

"As I said earlier, I suggest you remain quiet you piece of filth. Relsea, you and Chaos are complete fools though I think imprisonment in the Master Emerald was enough. Now what should be your punishment? I have so many suitable choices." the Goddess of Judgment said.

"Do your worst to me, it won't make a difference." the Goddess of Emotion demanded.

"Surely but first, the mortal must know." Tsumena replied before turning to face the newcomer.

I might not get out of this one.


Westopolis, an incredible city that was under reconstruction after the Black Arms incident not so long ago. Now it was under the control of the world famous hero Sonic the Hedgehog's metallic copy. The streets were bustling with miniature copies of Metal Sonic except their colors ranged from yellow to red to green. E-123 Omega walked through the city, sticking out like a sore thumb however none of the robots came to attack it.

"Apparently, Metal Sonic must be aware of my presence because if that wasn't the case, these robots would be attacking relentlessly right now. That inferior machine must want to fight me itself."

"Indeed I am aware. It's been a while now hasn't it?" the Captain of the South descended from the sky.

"The last time I saw you was when Team Sonic defeated you when you transformed into Metal Madness." the hero announced.

"I see. Well they're dead and gone now so I guess it's just you and me left to fight now."

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I have no emotions so I know I am. After all, you're the only hero left since we killed that pathetic heroine Shyra. I'll be honest, she did put up a great fight against us but like you will right now, she died."

The end of that statement commenced the battle as Omega's feet carried it forward, flaring engines thrusting the hero towards Metal who maneuvered out of a swipe attempt effortlessly. With a quick turn, gunshots zipped through the air however the captain barrel rolled inside the volley. It boosted itself and tackled the Eggman creation to the ground, raising it up and kicking it away like a soccer ball.

"Surely you were aiming to be more than just a sidekick to the cat. This is pathetic as it seems you can't do much without the aid of her tremendous power."

The hero ripped itself from the rubble and switched to its flamethrowers.

"Your attempts at humor are pathetic but my fighting skills are yet to be truly shown. I shall actually try to use some of my true power now."

From the barrel of the weapon, orange, red and yellow combustion streamline into the sky however Metal easily flew out of the way, firing off a javelin of voltage. The counterattack was unexpected and struck Omega's right arm with extreme force, sending him off into a light pole. With its opponent left defenseless in a corner, the doppelganger summoned numerous darts of electricity before raining them down from the heavens.

Quick to recover, the crimson and ebony robot rocketed out the debris and dodged the assault before slamming its fist into the torso of the other fighter. Spinning like a top, it shredded through the chest of Metal Sonic easily though the cobalt machine smacked the scarlet one away before any more damage could be done.

"And I thought my fighting skills were pathetic."

"It's called luck Omega. Deal with it."

They rushed towards each other though Metal disappeared before it reached Omega who glanced around to try and spot it.

"I'm a copy of Sonic thus my speed is far greater than yours."

Metal appeared behind the hero and swung for a high kick only to have its leg grabbed.

"That may be true but my strength out powers your own."

With a mighty swing, the hero threw the captain into some of its own metallic minions before dual missiles cruised, annihilating anything in its radius as they detonated. To add to the amount of punishment, the android grabbed a car and slammed it on the counterpart's body before batting it away with it.

Metal flipped over and regained its composure before charging static into its fists, slamming them together in a shocking dance of electric ballet dancers. Its rockets flared to life as it spun through the air like a pin wheel, threads of deadly lightning shooting from its fingertips.

"Try to dodge this you mechanical fool."

E-123 Omega's LED eyes would have widened if they could as it tried to jump through the streamers of energy however it was easier said than done. Luckily, it grabbed a car to protect itself from the full power of Metal's technique. With the threat out of the way, it threw the car at its opponent as a distraction. The navy blue mech flew under the automobile however it was overshadowed by the other combatant.

With the power of a raging bull, Omega crushed its fist into the back of Metal's head as they crashed down into the ground like craters, their fingers interlocked in a stalemate.

"Give up you robotic fool, there is no way that you can defeat all five of us by yourself. If you do happen to somehow finish me, you'd have four more fighters to face who are powerful as well."

"I will not give up because Shyra didn't give up, she kept on fighting until the end."

"And look at where that got her. It got her to a one way trip to the graveyard."

Metal used Omega's strength against it by shifting its weight and flipping it overhead before crushing his static covered fist into its chest. The hero crashed into a car, its body flailing like a fish during it painful journey. From the wrists of the villain, dual blades of megawatts shot out to aid it in battle. It dashed forward with its swords of voltage, the crimson hero ducking to avoid a strong slash that would have decapitated it.

"Surely you won't win this battle by dodging my attacks now will you?" the villain cackled monotonously.

"I have to pick my spots Metal so keep the attacks coming."

Not to be rude, Metal granted the robot its wish and fired off more arrows of electricity following it up with the hurling of cars and concrete pieces. The hero countered with Gatling gunshots to deflect the objects or arrows. It caught one of the cars that was thrown at it before resending it back to the robot who threw it in the first place.

The navy blue automaton ascended to dodge before dousing its body in total lightning, coming back down like a bolt from Zeus as Omega couldn't counter or dodge due to the attack's immense speed. The two robots collided as the ground ripped up from their conflict. The upper hand now belonged to Metal as it sent a barrage of punches and kicks toward the bulky machine who wasn't able to block.

"Come on, you can do better than this. I thought you were the greatest robot ever to be created by Doctor Eggman or was all that you spewed from your damn processors a lie?" the villain mocked.

Omega raised its arm to block before drilling a missile into the face of Metal that blasted it away.

"You may have the upper hand but the battle is not done yet. I still have a chance to turn this battle around." E-123 Omega stated

Suddenly, a javelin of lightning zoomed from out of nowhere and severed the left arm of the hero. Metal began to pry itself from the debris it had been put into. This didn't look good for Omega who now was handicapped at the moment.

"I must escape so repairs can be done. The chances of my victory are now slim to none."

With that, Omega dashed off as Metal Sonic saw the robot retreat. If it could, anger would be evident in its eyes and its gears would be grinding.

To be continued…


A/N: Well it seems that Omega has fled the scene of the battle as it is now badly injured. It's safe to say that it has bigger problems right now than Shyra does. As for the heroine, her history has been revealed and we now know that she has a cousin who is alive known as Sheva. Sheva came from the character from Resident Evil, she's pretty cool and I like her so I gave the character that name.

If you're confused, Shyra is a half-goddess meaning she may have the powers of a god but she can still die due to lack of immortality and she can't do all the stuff that the real gods can. Her half-goddess status will be explored more next chapter.

So if you don't mind, leave your stuff in a review! Thanks! Bye.
