End Flashback
"Brother…. where are you? I wish I can remember your name." Rocky and Sonic were flying back after their 'grocery' shopping. Sonic was carrying a large sports canister, and Rocky was carrying another. Rocky was looking down spaced out. Sonic stares down and looks at him.
"Rocky you Ok?"
"Huh? OH! Yeah…..I'm fine." He said unsure.
"Well you did a pretty good job on your second hunt, especially for a young member."
"Really? Thanks Big Brother!" Rocky let out a little chuckle. Cheering someone up is one of Sonic's best talents."I wonder where he is now.Thought Rocky.
Back at Amy's apartment, Cream and Cheese were watching Saphron as she was changing. They both saw her as she was gunning and letting out a shout or two. Her skin was slowly turning paler, her fingernails got whiter and sharper, two wings were slowly sprouting from her back, and the tip of her ears were getting sharper like elves ears. Cream was looking at Cheese, who was now completely different now. "Oh Cheese, it seems like yesterday we were still picking flowers, now we've changed. I wonder if things will ever be the same again" As Cream was pondering this, Saphron's breathing started to slow down. Her body stopped shaking as she exhaled her last breath. Amy came in looking at Cream who gave her a certain look. Her look was all she needed to know to tell her that she was finished.
Amy walks over to Saphron, who was now completely changed. "So…I guess mobieans aren't the only ones who can change."
"Do you think she will be sad about her change?"
"Only one way to find out. Saphron….Saphron….wake up"
Saphron opened her eyes that were now Ruby-violet "Where...am...I.?" she asked. "Oh…Amy….Cream….what's going-"
"Don't speak" Amy then pulled out her hands and materialized a dark could and pulls out a new set of human sized clothes. Saphron was shocked looking at the new clothes in front of her. "Here put these on. They might be kind of snug but it's better than what you are wearing" said Amy.
"Ok" Saphron got up and took off her ripped up clothes. First she took off her pants put on a medium black skirt. When she was about take off the shirt, she felt something snag on in. She touches her back and was shocked to feel two wings growing on her back. 'Are these…..wings? Oh my god!" She ripped off the shirt completely. She then looked at her hands and gasped at her new claws. "What…what's going on?!"
"Calm down…." Amy said walking up to her. "Everything is alright, you're safe now"
"Safe!? What do you mean?! I got claws and wings!" Saphron was freaking out, but for some reason looking at Cream and Amy made her feel at ease. "And I….I kind of don't know how to put on this shirt.
"Uhhh yeah…it's kind of hard to put it on. Try shrinking them first, and then put it on"
"Shrinking?"
As Saphron was about to put on the shirt, Sonic and Rocky came in the room. "HEY, we're back! Huh?" Sonic and Rocky saw Saph changing.
"AHHH!" she screamed.
"AHHHHH!" Sonic and Rocky screamed.
"Get out Get out Get out!" shouted Amy pushing them out the door.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry I'm sorry!" Rocky said as he slammed the door behind them.
Moments Later…
Saphron was fully dressed. She had on a blue shirt with black skirt a green headband, and white wrist straps.
"There. You look so pretty" Cream complemented. Saphron was feeling round her body and her new clothes. She then looks at Cream and gives her a light smile.
The boys came in with the giant canteens. "Sorry about that. I guess we should have knocked first" Sonic said scratching the back of his head.
"Whoa! Saph! You looking good! How Do you feel?"
"Actually, I feel ok, actually I don't feel anything. I don't feel any pain in my heart, I feel relaxed, calm, safe"
"That's because we are here, you are surrounded by family" Said Amy handing her a cup of you- know-what.
"Family?" Saphron repeated in a question like tone. "I'm your Family?" She then drank the whole thing as if she had been in the hot sun all day.
"Hope you like it. Rocky drained that rapist all by himself. Said Sonic "
"It's Delicious!" she said smiling "Thank you!"
"Even though she istalkingabout blood, still it's so tasty" Rocky thought
Cream then gave Saphron a hug. "Are you feeling Ok now, Onee-chan?"
Saphron felt a little confused, but then she started to understand as two tears of joy went down her cheeks. "Yes…Yes I'm fine now" she said as she hugged her back.
"Saph, you're family now, and as family we will never leave ya behind" Sonic said as he gave a thumbs up"
Saphron looks at him for a second and then smiles. Somehow she had a feeling to believe him. "Thank you, both of you"
"Ok. Everyone, it's almost dawn. We need to get some sleep, Alright?" said sonic walking back with the others.
"I'll get some blankets for you Saphron. You can sleep on the couch" said Amy
Saphron's eyes widen as she let out a sheepish gasp. "Uhhhh….Ok!"
Amy gave her an understanding smile and walked to the closet and got out some blankets and a pillow" "Now there just letting me sleep here?"She thought to herselfThey really care about me. Maybe this new life...will be great after all.
"Here" Amy placed the pillow and the blanket on the couch. "Good night. Or should I say Good mooring?" Saphron let out a light laugh and lay on the couch. Amy walked back to her room where Sonic was waiting.
A smashing get together.
"Yes! Another win!" Cosmo laughed triumphantly.
"Aww Come on! One More Time!" said Tails.
"I'm tired now, Blaze and Sliver are already asleep," She said pointing at Silver and Blaze who were on the couch asleep cuddling each other.
"Aww they look so cute together, just like us" said Cosmo.
"Yeah…just like us" said Tails smiling.
"Mmm Faster..Faster" said Blaze in her sleep.
"Blaze, I'm trying to be gentle, but it feels so good…." Said Silver.
"Oooo" said Cosmo wanting to hear more
"Ahhh lets go to bed!" exclaimed Tails.
"But it was just getting good…."
"Now! We're to young to hear this!"
"Oh alright" . Tails and Cosmo walked to the room. Tails laid down first on the bed. Even a twin sized bed was big enough for the two of them. Cosmo was able to lay right next to him.
"I'll need to get a bigger bed" said Tails.
"No, this one's perfect" said Cosmo hugging Tails.
"You sure do know how to use Link" said Tails
"Once I learned the controls the rest was easy" said Cosmo
"But I would not have been able to play without you. My hot fire fox"
"My violet-green, Azalea"
"Is that a flower?"
"It's a very pretty flower, Just like you" Then they looked lips for a deep long kiss. (Of course one of the best things of being dead is they do not have to take a break)
The gathering for the battle
Shadow was sleeping in a bed with Rouge, in her room. There was a knock on the door, and Shadow stirred until he got up, doing his best not to wake Rouge. He walked to the door, and opened it and saw Knuckles and Julie. "What?" said Shadow still half asleep?
"It's Darcy, she says it's time" said Knuckles
"Oh...Right" Said Shadow still trying to wake up. The three of them walked over to the living room where they saw Darcy, Omega, and Big.
"So, Shadow did you sleep well?" Darcy asked in a joyful tone.
"I slept fine" he said closing his eyes looking the other way. "Now, it's about time we got started isn't it?"
"Yes. Now what is it that you had in mind of doing?" Darcy questioned.
Shadow cleared his throat and started to talk.
"Omega..." said Shadow. Omega used his eyes to propjet a diorama of Soleanna. "This is the entrance to the Aquatic base. If GUN truly did commandeer the base, then we will have to strike. They shouldn't be too hard to get by. What will be a problem is fighting off the robots that guard the base. Shadow explained.
"The Chaotix are already there, and they reported the entire city is crawling with GUN Solders and Blue Agents." said Knuckles
"That's not all" said Julie. "There has been an investigation of multiple murders around the cities of Station Square, Central City, and Westopolis. They are mixing the disappearances of the teenagers with actual murders, saying that they were killed not kidnapped, and they said that we were the ones who were killing them"
"All of us?" asked Shadow.
"Yes even the Chaotix any mobian associated with Sonic and his friends are now conceded enemies to many of the people around the cities of the northwest continent Julie continued
"What happened to the teenagers anyway?" Knuckles asked
"They….are now Cramoisi" Darcy answered
"What?" everyone said in unison
"Scorch and Mist were the first, and they gathered more teenagers to join us those who either want to find love or are having lover problems, with another mate." She continued "But they did not assimilate a lot of people. We did not want to draw suspicion, but it looks like it was not enough"
"How many did they…assemble?" asked Julie.
"Mmmm….. about 13 teenagers"
"That's not so many" said Shadow.
"So where are they now?"
"In hiding of the criminal hideouts, feeding off the remains of the criminals that once lived there." said Darcy.
"So what's our plan of attack? Asked Omega egger to get out.
"We need to clear a way for at least five members; they are the ones who can free Zerach from his entombment" Darcy added
"In that case, we will make a clear path to the base" Shadow said pointing at the hologram. "Then we will make a run for the base. They are using Zerach as bait. Rouge and I will be the ones making a clearing through the city, to the base. Once that is done, one group will keep the outside army occupied while the other group goes in to the base. We then need to find the core of the base, that's where Zerach is more than likely being held." Shadow finished.
"The Chaotix are already in the city, so when do we strike" Knuckles added
"In 3 hours, we will make our move."
"But it will still be light." mentioned Knuckles.
"Leave that to me" said Omega. "I have an anti-ultraviolet Shield. All members will be protected. I will be sure of that."
"Well there you have it; the hoods that the children have will last long enough to get here." Said Darcy.
"What can I do?" asked Big.
"You….you can help out the people who are outside of the shield. When the members are in the base, Omega will be there to help you with our solder problem." Said Shadow. "
"One moment, Big" Darcy turned to the large purple feline "Like these three you are also not a member. If you leave now you will be free from this burden, and not be at the risk of being killed. Are you sure you want to do this, even if you will be hated by others?"
"You can back out if you want, you don't have to help us if you don't want to." said Knuckles
Big then closed his eyes and sighed. "Vampires or not Amy, Cream and everyone else are my friends. I don't want to lose my friends. So I want to help you." He said.
"You are a brave cat, my friend" sad Darcy smiling.
"Humph, Now that that's settled. Darcy can you call every one over here?"
"Very Well"
Children….Children…it is time. Come to me now.
Amy's apartment:
Everyone was putting on their hoods, ready to walk out of the door. Amy made a cloak for Saphron. Saphron takes the cloak and puts it on.
"Is everyone ready?" said Sonic
"Yes my Blue Blur" said Amy.
"Yes big brother" said Cream and Rocky.
"Uhhh, yes Big brother?" said Saph. "Uhhh, do you think mother….will love me?"
"Don't worry she will treat you like one of her own." Said Amy.
"We will lead the way just keep your hood on"
"Ok" and with that they all flew to Night Babylon.
Tails' Workshop
"I used to love going in the sun light, now I covering myself up in a hoode" said Cosmo.
Silver was closing his eyes trying to focus.
"Silver, what is it?" asked Blaze.
Silver then opened his eyes.
"You're not going to believe this" Silver said with everyone looking at him. "We have a new sister and she's Human"
"Uhh Silver, she isn't the first human who has been bitten" said Tails.
"Oh yeah" Blaze lets out a little giggle
"What" said Silver.
"You're so cute when your naïve"
Silver gave a little confused look. "Now I'm cute when I'm naïve?'
"Come let's go" said Tails grabbing Cosmo's hand and flying away with blaze leaving Silver alone.
"I can't tell to ether be happy of upset, well she does love me and I love her so I guess its ok"
"Hey Silver let's go!" Blaze said already in the air
"Alright Alright" Silver then flew with everyone else.
In less than 30 minutes everyone was at Club Rouge and have discussed the plan to infiltrate the Aquatic Base. "So are you sure Omega can hold the shield long enough to get to the base" asked Sonic.
Duration for Anti-ultraviolet Shield 20 minutes.
"Well there you go faker, Said Shadow.
"Our hoods won't protect us for long. Once we arrive at the city, Omega will activate his shield" said Rouge "We will have 20 minutes to get to the base, and then we will have to fight our way in the base to the core. By the time we're done, it should be night fall, and we should have Master Zerach." "Has anyone heard from the Chaotix?" asked Knuckles.
"No word from them" said Julie. "But there's worse news take a look at this." Julie had shown a laptop computer that was titled GUN'S most wanted and it had pictures of everyone "you guys have got quite a reputation. It says here that Sonic the Hedgehog and his gang are guilty for murder and the disappearances, and everyone'spicture is on this page, even Knuckles and me."
"eh wouldn't be the first time' said Sonic. "Alright let's go"
"Wait!", Saphron spoke holding out her hand. Everyone turned there attention to her.
"uhhh I-I'm uhhh I just uhhh" Saphron stammered looking at Darcy.
Darcy gives her a welcoming smile and walks over to her. "Sonic, is this the child you were speaking of, the troubled one?" asked She asked sweetly.
"Yes Mother, This kid's been through a lot, and we took care of the ones who tried to rob her and rape her"
"And if they have friends who do the same thing, I'll kick them in the groin, and pluck out their eyes!" Amy said cracking her knuckles.
'Uh Amy…we do have kids here" Blaze reminded
"Oh….sorry"
Saphron sheepishly laughed at Amy after hearing that. Darcy walked over to Saphron and took her hand. "Tell me child, does this feel uneasy for you? If so you can stay here until we return"
Saph looked a little embarrassed, but she felt better if she was with them. In her life, she had never felt so conceited to people who cared about her. "I….I want to help you….Mother" She said
"Well then, Omega and Big will protect you as we head for the base stay with them at all times" Darcy instructed
"You got it!" Big said
"As you wish" Omega added
" Alright everyone ready, let's go" said Sonic. "Let's fly to Solianna.
As they were all about to walk out, Saphron looks at Shadow looking at her. Shadow was staring right at her. "Why is that black hedgehog staring at me?"
As Shadow was looking at her, he could see an image of a young blonde girl overshadow Saphron. Shadow closed his eyes and shook his head.
"Uhhh are you ok?" Saphron asked.
'Oh…it's nothing" Shadow said coldly "You just…remind me of someone"
"Oh…ok" Saphron walks to the door. Shadow stares at her as she walks out. Rouge walks up to Shadow and pats him on the back.
"She looks like her doesn't she?" she asked
"We have to get moving" Shadow said walking out the door. Rouge looks at Shadow and smiles.
"Yes…let's get moving"
A wound that will never heal
Within one of the buildings in Soleanna, Ginro , one of Klaus top generals, was standing at the end of the room with the two scientists sanding in the center of the room. A boy was sitting in the corner with his hands and feet tied up. The boy was in the corner sobbing like he just saw a ghost. The boy looked about 14 with medium long sized brown hair and slightly dark skin. He had on glasses a green shirt and blue short pants. Ginro was standing there with his arms crossed staring at the scientist who were surrounded by a horde of blue agents.
"Alright here" said a tall man handing a blue agent a flash drive. "This is the information you wanted, everything about project Solaris"
"Well now aren't you a busy buddy" Ginro said taking the flash drive.
"Now let our son go!" the woman scientist demanded. "We had a deal"
Ginro snapped his fingers and one of the agents ran over to the boy and untied him. The boy quickly runs over to the parents and hugs them as if he hadn't seen them in years.
"Well now…isn't that sweet?" Ginro said. At the top of the room, the mysterious figure with the glowing necklace was looking from above. Even though his body was merely a shadow in the darkness you could still see that his orange eyes were narrowed looking at Keon. "Do you have everything you need?"
"Yes..will leave you now...you'll never see us again' said the man.
"You're right, we won't…in fact…no one will see you again. Not now, not ever" Ginro pulled out his hand and drew his swords. "You know too much already…wouldn't want the word to go out or anything…"
The parents had an idea of what was about to happen. They look at each other and nodded. They then turn their attention to their son, who was looking at them. Without warning, the boy was pushed out of the way by his dad. The boy looks back at his folks. The two of them smiled at him.
"Jayden...you have to get out of here" said the man.
"What?" the boy asked "What about you?"
"Jayden…we love you so much…please don't be sad….we will see you again." The woman said sweetly
"W-wait...but" before he could finish asking, his eyes widen at what he saw, he saw Ginro's swords ran though both of his parents. He stood there in horror as he saw his parents fall to the ground. He runs to them and kneels down. His eyes were anything but dry at that point, as he saw his parents' eyes slowly closing. "Mommy, daddy! Please get up!"
"Jay…d…en….." the mother said weekly. "Be…st..rong….we..love…you….." She exhales her last breath and closes her eyes.
"Mom! Mommy! Mommy Please!" the boy screamed "Dad? Dad? Open your eyes! Please!" it was no good the parents did not respond to the boy's cries.
"What a waste" said Ginro "but it's like all trash, you use it and then you dispose of it that's how it works.
The boy looks at Ginro with his tear torn face. "Why….why did you do his" he said with gasp in between his words. "They didn't even do anything to deserve this!" Ginro gets his sword and swings his blade right at the boy's face. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" the boy screams in agony. He kneels down on the floor covering his face. He was crying loudly with tears and blood seeping through his fingers.
"Let that serve as a warning, boy. To not mess with people like us. Let this pain be a message for you. As it buns on your face!" One of the agents presses a button that opens up a trap door. Ginro pushes Jayden in the hole. Jayden screams as he falls through the hole. Ginro stands there laughing while looking at the whole. "Ahhh…I love my job! Everyone..lets head back to Master Klaus so he can…"
Out of nowhere Ginro felt a very powerful rumbling, like an earthquake. He then saw three rocks blocking the path out. He sees the shadow figure jump down from the roof. As he jumps down there was a loud boom, where he jumped. The jump makes a large crater. He stares at Ginro with an angry gaze. Ginro took a few steps back.
"Who are you?' he shouted.
The figure said nothing, as he pulls out his hand with it glowing a orange color.
Raid on the city of water
They were in the sky about five minutes away from Soleanna; they were all flying in pairs: Darcy was with Saphron, Omega was in front of everyone, Sonic was carrying Knuckles, Rouge was carrying Shadow, Cosmo carried Julie, and Cream and Amy were carrying Big.
"Just like old times Eh Mr. Big?" Cream asked
"Yup good times!" Big said smiling
Suddenly, there was something in the distance.
"Hey I see something" said Silver "up ahead I see…GUN Robots! Incoming!"
There were 5 Beetle droids coming from the city.
"Omega Take them out!" Shadow commanded. Omega launched five missiles at the droids that only took out three, and then Blaze fired two fire balls to take out the rest.
"Were not done yet" Shadow said "We are almost to the shore. Everyone form a defense! Omega! put up the shield" when they arrived at the shore everyone got into a circle Shadow and rouge were in the front sonic and Amy were behind them, Julie and Knuckles were outside the circle, Tails and Cosmo were in the back, and Omega and Big were in the center with Darcy and Saphron. Omega launched a purple shield around all the members, Big stayed in the shield to protect Saphron.
"Alright everyone the entrance to the base is in the center of the town. Let's go!" Said Sonic.
The mournful good bye
"Are they gone?" asked Charmy. Espio looked out in the corner of the ally that the Chaotix were hiding in in.
"Yeah we got rid of them for now" said Espio.
"Man now their hunting us and we didn't even do anything!" said Vector.
"Maybe we were zombies and we didn't know it. And we did stuff we shouldn't have!" said Mighty.
"Will you cut it out with zombie mess already? We got to get with the others somehow!" commanded Vector
"BBBOOOOOMMM!"
"What was that?!" Vector asked
There was a massive explosion nearby. "Beep beep beep!" "Ding! Ding!" Heavy and Bomb were signaling the Chaotix.
"What did you find a way out?" Heavy lead Vector and Mighty to where the explosion occurred. There was a building being consumed by a massive fire. In front of the building, there was a 14 year old boy crying is eyes out, covering his face. At his feet were the two scientist laying lifeless on the ground.
"Hey little guy, what's wrong?" Vector asked walking up to him.
The boy looks up and just cries even more.
"Uhh uhh Mighty! do something!" vector ordered
"ME?" Mighty asked confused.
"Yeah! You're more of the less menacing type!"
"Uhh uhh, Kid?" Mighty walks over to him and tried to pat him on the back. "It's ok, we won't hurt you. Now could you tell us what's wrong?"
Jayden was inhaling sharply and looked at Mighty. "M-my…p-p-parents….t-t-t-they!" He didn't finish he just sat there crying uncontrollably.
Vector looked down at the lifeless bodies. "Oh..no…"
"These are his parents I presume?" Espio asked.
Vector nodded. "They resemble him, but they…" Espio knelt down walked up to investigate the bodies. He turns to look at vector nodding his head. "it's no good….they're gone."
"This is terrible" Charmy said with tears in his eyes.
"I'd say a proper burial is in order" Espio suggested
"We don't have time." Vector said softly "I know it's sad, but we have work to do"
"Alright, the authorities should take care of them. We need to tend to the boy."
'Vector and Espio walked back to Mighty. Charmy was still weeping a little
"So uhh….. kid you got a name?" asked Vector
Jayden tried to keep calm and answer. "J-J-Jayden, Jayden Callahan. "
"OK, Jayden who killed your parents?" asked Mighty.
"He can tell us on the way. We got to get to the others, we have got company!" Said Vector "Come with us Jayden"
"But my-"
"Jayden, there's nothing we can do for them now, but if your parents were alive, then they would want you to live, so come on" Jayden looks back and then looks at Mighty and gave him a nod. Then the Chaotix head for the center of the city.
Back to the fight
Everyone was just at the entrance of the base, doing whatever they can to survive. Many robots and Blue agent fighting the group, but they manage to survive, just barely. There was only 5 minutes left in the shield.
"We're almost there! Keep going!" said Sonic.
Knuckles was fighting of robots, tossing them around and throwing them on the ground. When he least expected it a Blue agent sliced him in the back. "GAHH!" he screamed as he fell to the ground.
"Knuckles!" Shouted Julie. As the Blue agent was about to give the final blow Julie fired her blaster at him.
"AAAHH!" screamed the Agent as he fell to the ground.
Julie ran to Knuckles and tried to help him up. "Knuckles! are you okay? Speak to me!"
"My arm…." Knuckles arm was cut in the back and was almost imposable to move
"Don't move! I'll help you up" Julie picked up Knuckles and helped him in the circle. "Big, he's really hurt! Can you take him?" asked Julie
"Yeah! Give'm here!"
Tails and Cosmo were taking out as many Blue Agents as they can. Rocky was destroying GUN Robots around the circle by kicking then with super vampire strength. Cream was doing the same while summoning cheese to attack the robots and the Agents with his new found strength. Sonic and Shadow were doing a homing attack to the many of the robots that came their way. Silver was pulling robots in while Blaze was burning them. Rouge was doing her kicks and throwing her bombs, while Amy was bashing them with her hammer. They were just about at the base, with a little under 2 minutes in shield left.
"Alright this is the entrance. Now we just have to open the gate" said Shadow.
"Leave that to me" said Sonic He kicks the gate open. "Heh-heh piece of cake!"
"Humph don't get cocky!" Alright Omega Big, Rocky, Cosmo, Amy, Saphron, stay out here and Guard the perimeter everyone else lets go inside. Now move! " Shouted Shadow. The couples were seeing off their partners
"Cream, please be careful alright". Said Rocky
"Alright!"
"Please, be save Tails" said Cosmo while hugging him.
"No problem!"
"Sonic, come back alive!" sad Amy.
"Hey, remember who you're talking to!" said Sonic. Amy smiled while rolling her eyes. "I'll stay behind" said Julie
"I'm not leaving Knuckles"
"Do what you want. Let's go!" said Shadow.
"There it is!" Charmy was pointing at the building where the gate was.
"Alright let's go!" said Vector. The Chaotix were fighting of as many robots as they could. They were somehow able to make it at the Base. They all saw the rest of the group fighting off the enemies.
"Hey looks like you could use some help!" said Charmy
"Oh thank goodness you guys are here" said Amy
"Well ma'am, is always a pleasure to help out those in-"Vector was cut off by Amy.
"Our bodies can take this sunlight much longer can you take over while we rest a bit"
"Sure, take all the time you need" said Espio.
Poor Vector just stood there as a gust of wind blew by. "Ahh boy" he said. The Chaotix took place of the people fighting with the exception of Omega, Big, and Julie.
Knuckles was lying on the wall of the entrance of the base, he was breathing hard, trying to keep consciousness. Rocky was tending to his wounds.
"I…I guess I… really messed up. I don't think I'm gonna make It." said Knuckles.
"Don't say that! Hold still." said rocky putting bandages on him. Knuckles was grunting in pain. As he felt the bandages on his body he hardly felt any recovery.
"Let me see what I can do" said Cosmo putting her hand on Knuckles wounds. Her hands were glowing a green glow.
"I keep forgetting you're a plant, so you have link to pretty much any remedy don't you. Said Rocky.
"Yes, but I don't think anything I'm doing can help". Cosmo said sadly
"No…."
"Jayden stay here, you will be save" Mighty instructed
"Ok…" Jayden sat on the other side of the base corridor from Knuckles. Amy saw Jayden crouch his arms and legs together sobbing quietly. "Sniff…Sniff…mom…dad…"
"Hey…what's wrong with him?" Amy asked Mighty.
"His parents were killed right in front of him." He answered.
"What? Who?"
"He told me that it was two men in Blue-green robes."
Amy's eyes widened at the very mention of the men "The Council" Amy then went over to Jayden and gave him a hug. "There-there I'm here for you okay. Saph can you help him?" said Amy Saphron then walked over to him as she saw him, even in his misery he looked somewhat attractive. Jayden saw Saphron. She sat down next to Jayden to give him a small hug with her arm. These two had so much in common; they were both alone in this world, now they found each other. "You comfort him, I'll keep those jerks busy"
Into the core of the base
Sonic and the others were walking around the entrance of the base. "Man, this place hasn't changed at all" said Sonic
"Sonic…" Darcy walks up to Sonic. She then slams her hand on the ground. A dark aura surrounds the area where her hand was. She lifts her hand and from the dark cloud came a long black sword. It was dark looking yet somewhat beautiful. The handle was encrusted with amethyst and sapphires. Sonic and the others look at the sword in awe. "I want to take point with you"
Sonic looks at Darcy and smiles. "Aright"
"The rest of us will take the high road. Go" Shadow ordered
The two of them ran down the hallways of the base, coming across many guard robots. Sonic uses his homing attack to blow through the bots one-by-one. Many of the bots were still coming up to Darcy and the others. Darcy swung her sword once and out came a booming wave of energy out from the sword, destroying everything in its path. After the bots were destroyed Darcy follows Sonic to a room with a large gaping hole. Both of them jump up and fly over the hole. As they flew more bots appeared out of nowhere.
"Dang it! They don't give us a break do they?"
"No…I am the one who will break them!" Darcy swings her sword at one of the bots. With one swing the bot explodes taking all the other bots with it. Sonic was amazed at the power Darcy has. "Come, we must hurry"
"Right!" Sonic said flying to the other end of the gap. At the other end they came into a large room with multiple doors. "Which way do we go Shadow?"
"We need to find the way that leads to main lab" He said
"Let me look for a way." Tails offered as he flew up looking for a switch or some sort of clue. He sees an open door across from the room. He flies to the door and sees a group of more bots everywhere. 'Heh! This should be cake." Pulled out his hand and made a yellow fire ball appear in his hand. He throws the ball at one of the bots setting it on fire. He then lets out a small gasp, as if he figured out something. He runs straight at the robot and kicks it in it's metallic chest. Tails jumps back and sees the bot blow up in less than a second. He smiles as he sees the rest of the bots blow up at the same time. He flies through all the bombardment to a switch at the end of the room. He hits the switch which opens a door, where the others are. Tails fires back to where Sonic was. Sonic saw Tails with three flaming tails coming from his back.
"Whoa…Nice light show, buddy" Sonic complemented
"I can see your inner powers have yet to be awaken young one" Darcy said
"Powers?" Sonic looks at Darcy and then back at Tails.
"Heh heh…it happened when I changed."
"I didn't know Tails had it in him" Blaze said smiling
"Humph! I guess" Shadow said
"that's soo cool! Will I get powers like him?" Cream asked
"In due time my child, right now we must find my husband." Darcy instructed. They all ran to the door. The all were fighting their way through the base fighting off the bots and guards.
"How far are we to the core?" Sonic asked
"Not much farther now" said Shadow.
Vengeance from an unknown source
Somewhere else near the base, in the blazing inferno, stood the shadowy figure with the glowing neck. He was standing over the bodies of ten blue agents that were lying dead on the ground. In front of him was the body of Ginro with his body cut in half. The figure stands there holding a large weapon. His eyes were glaring at Ginro with a cold stare. He then walks up to a machine with a glowing red stone in it. He takes the diamond shape stone and walks to a hidden door He looks back at the corpses.
"Be lucky I was merciful" he said in a young, deep voice walking through the door, and into a large base. 'You deserve far, far worse than that" He then gets out a little wrist communicator. "I'm walking out now. I just need to get one last thing."
"Understod" said another person from the other side
"One more thing…." He inhales and exhales sharply "I need you to tell the doctor to bring two capsule bod-pods to the city."
"The occasion?"
"Just more torn lives"
"Understood, I'll send a few more of the bots to your location"
Got it.
Return of the king
While they were all fighting off robots, Darcy pauses for a minute. She feels a strange force unlike any other, but to her he can feel it deep within her. She knows what this is. "He's close…" said Darcy. "It's faint, but I can feel it." The others felt the same feeling.
"Yeah…. so can I" said Sonic
"Me too" said Rouge.
"So can I" said Blaze.
"Me three" said Silver. They then saw the figure jump out of the shadows, had something glowing on his neck and also had something glowing in his hand, a red stone. In his other hand he had a big mallet slightly bigger than him.
"Who are you?" said Shadow. He said nothing but gave a little chuckle. "Hey! I am talking to you!"
He just smiled and chuckled not reviling himself. Shadow then launched a chaos spear at him, but as the smoke cleared he was gone.
"Who was that" asked Silver
"I don't know, but something tells me this isn't the last time we will see him. Said Shaodw. They finally reached Core of the base. It was a giant laboratory with test tubes and capsules; at the end of the room they saw a large box.
"Is that-?" Rouge spoke. Darcy closes her eyes to focus, in a second, and then later opens them.
"It's him. It's really him" Darcy gasped. They walked over to the coffin. Darcy kneels on her knees in front of it. It was a white and gold coffin with different colored gems scattered all over it.
"So how do we open it?" asked Sonic.
"It's is said that when one royal has been awakened, the second royal's sleeping chamber must be opened by the first royal along with four followers"
"Well come then let's go!" said Blaze.
Sonic, Rouge, Silver, Blaze and Darcy opened the chest with all their might. The coffin let out a bright shine as it opened up. Everyone felt the light as it pulsated in the air. Even the vampires outside looked up near the base sensing the presence of a new entity. As they opened it, they saw what was inside the shining casket. It was a golden shrew with gold wings; he wore a white shirt with pants and gloves to match with a silver lining. He had on a white cape and white boots.
"Whoa! So this is-" Sonic started.
Darcy gasped lightly, her hands were shaking and she started to weep. She lays her head on the body of the shrew. Rouge looked at her with worry. "Mother are you OK, He's not-"
"No, he is alive" she said gasping "I'm just so happy to see him again" Darcy got out another valve with venom, and drinks the venom. She meets her lips with his and gives him the poison. Darcy then pulled herself away and saw his finger. "Oh no, where is it?" she said looking around. "No, It's gone"
"What's gone? Cream asked
"Zerach's ring is gone without it we can-" before Darcy had a chance to finish he heard grunting sounds she turned back to Zerach who was wakening up. When he opened his eyes they were glowing a ruby violet just like Darcy's, the first thing he saw was Darcy with tears of joy in her eyes.
The search for her long lost husband had finally come to an end.
"Dar..cy?" he grunted
"yes-yes it's me! Oh we've finally found you!" She then hugged him and he hugged her back.
"Darcy…My love how long has it been?" asked Zerach.
"3000 years. Oh Zerach I missed you, my love."
"And I you my sweet" The two of them kissed each other for a brief moment. After a good two minutes, Zerach turns his attention to the others. "Are these our newborns?"
"Yes… without their valiant efforts we would not be seeing each other now."
Zerach slowly gets out of the coffin and stood to see the five. He looks and smiles at them. "On behalf of the dark dwellers, and I as the white fang, I thank you" He then bowed, and the others bowed back. Zerach felt his finger. "My ring…"
"its gone, I don't know where it is dear"
"That is….. Unfortunate"
Sonic walks up to Zerach. The two of them were looking at each other. "Heh heh, it must have been one heck of a sleep, huh? I'll bet you've been begging to stretch your legs"
"Indeed" Zerach said smiling.
"So…are you really the king?" Tails asked
"Correct; I am the white fang Zerach Amadeus de Blanc Cramoisi. It's very nice to meet you all.
"I'm Sonic, Sonic the hedgehog" Sonic introduced.
"I already know, your names. Sonic, Tails, Cream, Blaze, Sliver, Rouge, and Shadow."
"Whoa….how did you know?" Tails asked
"I have been watching you through my dreams. All of your courageous efforts to save me and re awaken the Radiant Dark resonance. I'm also impressed by your work too" Zerach looks at Shadow. "You are truly a being worthy of accepting the resonance.
"Well, he may have helped us, but he still has one last thing to do."
"That's right" Blaze agreed
"So…Shadow. What do you say? We got Zerach. Do you want to join us?" Sonic asked
Before Shadow even moved his mouth, the others hear a noise coming from the door, in less than a minute a ton of GUN solders robots and Blue agents come in the room. Also the GUN commander and the leader of the council step into the room.
"You see commander? Your so-called agent just put the entire word in jeopardy, even if you ask him he will simply not do it" said the leader.
Shadow quirks his eyebrow "Do what?"
The commander sighs and looks at Shadow with a stern look. "Shadow, stop this now and come back to GUN. Are you really going to give up the sake of the world just for your own pleasure? Make your decision Shadow."

Do Not Touch!
Richter and Chrome were walking around the laboratory under Soleanna. The come across a room with big machines and computer panels.
Alright let's look for the Emerald" Chrome said
"Yes..Sahib" Richter said bowing
The two of them look around in the room. Richter comes across a machine with some kind of helmet. "Ohhhh pretty!" Richter puts on the helmet.
"Don't touch anything" Chrome said with his back turned looking at something else.
"Don't touch anything" Richter mimicked. "How old do you think I am, 4?" Richter lays his hand on the console. The console then makes a loud humming sound. "Oh boy" Richter tires to take the helmet off but, to no avail. Richter was then shocked by an electrical current. Whoop whoop whoop! AAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Help meeeeeeeeeeee! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" he screamed as the electricity coursed through his body. It shook his body violently
"Now Richter don't be so whiny" Chrome said still not looking and Richter screaming "Just keep your head up and think of what good we're doing.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" the machine finally stopped shocking Richter. The helmet comes off his head. His body was black all over and his bangs were standing up. "Ohhhh would you like coffee with your mac and cheese?" Richter stumbles on another machine and presses a green button. He walks all the way to a pod that traps him inside. "huh?" Richter saw a lightning rod on top of the pod that emits a large red beam that hits Richter. "Not again! WHAAAAA-HHHAA!" There was a big flash and Richter turns into a large fly with big orange eyes and six arms. He turns back to normal and gets hit again. "WHEEEE-HEE-HEE-HEE!" He then turns into a small squid with big eyes. He changes back again and gets shot again. Ahhhdit-dit-dit-dit-dit-idit-dit-dit-dit-dit!" He turns into a big gorilla like creature with one eye, and changes back. Meeeeeheeeehheeeeeheeewhaaaa!" the beam shoots him again and he turns into a giant green swamp monster. Blibbliblibilbilbilbblibiblb (babbling) He then turns into a large bug with multiple eyes with a big mouth.
"Quit fooling around and look for that emerald!" Chrome ordered
"I'm not fooling around, you ninny!" Richter gurgled in a demonic voice.
"Intruder!" shouted a GUN robot coming in the room with back up.
"Crap" Chrome said slapping his face.
"Bibibibibbibbibiblbiblbil" babbled Richter as he turned back to normal. "Oh! Hey! I'm back to normal!" He was happy for a minute but lifts his head in question. "Why do I have a craving for worms, rotten eggs and marshmallows?
Chrome unleashes a wind of cold air freezing all the robots. "Let's go, Richter!" he shouted running out of the base.
"Got it!" Richter said following him.
"You just can't help yourself to machines can you?"
"Blargen beksipo no hip" Richter babbled
"What?"
"uhhhh….sorry I still feel weird."
"Let's get out of here!
"High Gee gee!"
