Me (Soul): Okay guys, I have a few things to say. I am sorry for a week wait, but I have just wrote this after many reasons, and repeatetive deletions of this chapter after nor being satisfied with my work. *creepy music* Alright, in the next five chapters, I have awesome stuff planned, and I also plan to majorly extend my chapter to around 4,000 words a chapter. *cuts creepy music* but, I have some reviews to answer:

Krikanalo: Great chapter, though not much happened.

Me: Yeah, I know, but I am running dry on ideas at the moment, and I promise more stuff in future chapters.

Zgirl101: Okay... I think your about 17-18 years old, and, no offense, you are in NO way mature. And you should finish the story in the next 5-10 chapters and write it in better quality, less OC, and more realistic (basically, what you said).

Me: *laughs really hard* I don't even take the slightest offence to that! *stops laughing* I just laugh when people say that as I am the most immature person in the UNIVERSE! I even have worse memory than a gold fish! And, by the way, how the hell do I seem 17 - 18, as I'm like, 13! Also, I was going to try my best to do that, so thanks for pointing that out.

Now that's over and done with, I have something to do: Enjoy the chapter!

(LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK!)

No point of view:

Seven Chaos Emeralds cause Chaos Control or just destroy something, right? Well, that was their first function. And that function is now happening today.

Mephiles' castle of darkness is in the centre of the disorientated world, but in the core of the unstable dimension, rested a glowing deep, ebony, red and purple emerald, which was pulsing as if a heart.

It sat upon a dark blue alter, and on a small stretch of land. At the edges of the land, stood tall, proud pillars which kept the island suspended in the nothingness below.

The only light underneath the disasterous world was the glowing pulse of the infected and corrupted Master Emerald, and a endless well of purple, red and navy blue light, which seemed to not end for a long stretch that made Tartarus look like a new born baby's pinky toe.

Through the tunnel, at the very bottom, rested a pure golden sword with the infinity symbol near the tip of the blade, and down the side, 'Excalibur' was etched into the blade in Mobian hieroglyphics.

Now, back to the Chaos Emeralds. With the Master Emerald corrupted, the Chaos Emeralds cannot unleash their full potential power. Instead, they can only give the user's power a small boost - just like an emerald shard would.

In other words, the seven Chaos Emeralds are useless.

So, how did Sonic stop time? That answer rests with his blood line...

(LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK!)

Percy's point of view:

"The emeralds are useless though, remember? Without the Master Emerald, it's hopeless!" Knuckles shouted, gritting his teeth in fustration.

"Calm it Knuckle Head, we need to chill out here - " Sonic was cut off by the raging ruby echidna.

"Calm? CALM?! CALM?! I will NOT calm down, as how can you be calm when it's the END OF THE BLOODY WORLD?! We are dead, face it!" Knuckles roared in Sonic's face, and Sonic just rolled his emerald eyes.

"Do I look calm Knuckles? I have no vacation from saving the world! I nearly died on vacation this time Knux! Again! I'm sick of this! Just give me the Emeralds here, and I'll use my own energy and them to go back by myself and you guys take Kronos / Luke, Annabeth, Egghead and Mephiles out! Sorted." Sonic snapped at the red echidna, leaving us all awestruck.

"Wait, got a picture of the place, anything?" Nico suddenly piped up, suprising us all.

"Why?" Tails asked, handing him a small diagram.

"That's where I left the sword. when I left Camelot kingdom." Sonic explained.

"Good. I can get us there without an issue, but we need the gods to help us. All the gods." Nico replied, a small smirk playing at his lips.

"And that is what why we appeared here." A gruff voice said from me.

I turned around to see Zoe standing there, her volcanic eyes and slightly upturned nose the first thing I saw.

Artemis was by Zoe's side, with my father, Poseidon, Zeus, Hades, Athena, Apollo, Nemesis and a goddess and god I dislike - Melione, goddess of ghosts, and Ares the God of War.

"Hey Zoe." I smirked, and she just walked up to me, wrapped her arms around my neck, and pulled my down for a peck on the lips.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Artemis' silver eyes glow with hatred, and her face redden in anger.

"Well, Perseus, I see you found love in one of my ex-huntresses." Artemes glowered, and fear crept up my spine.

Not another Olympian after my hide! My mind screamed at me.

"Hurt her, I hurt you." Artemis warned me, before I was crushed in a hug from my father.

"What happened to Annabeth?" Athena sneered at me, her intense, calculating grey eyes glaring into my soul.

"You Olympians are so stupid it's unreal." A certain emo ebony and blood red hedgehog chuckled from the shadowed left corner of Sonic's tree house.

"And you are?!" Zeus thundered at Shadow, electricity crackling from his body.

"Shadow the Hedgehog, and that is all you need to know." Shadow's ruby eyes glared at the King of Gods, pulling out his classic Magnum 44 and cheaked his current magazine, and saw eight rounds left in the gun. He put it back to gether in satasfaction, cocking the gun.

"Why do you remind me so much of Thanatos?" Hades inquired, and Shadow arched an eyebrow.

"You mean Death, or Grim Reaper?" Shadow asked, pulling out a rather dangerous silver knife and twirled it in his fingers.

"Yes, but this is Thanatos. He is the primoridal God of Death." Hades answered, and then a black glow appeared next to him, revealing a hodded figure with two black angel wings. A pair of startling amber eyes shone underneath the hood of the tattered cloak, and I knew this person too much, as I had saved him during my quest to Alaska.

He was Thanatos, Guard of Tartarus and God of Death.

The amber eyed death magnet slowly stepped over to Shadow, his wings lightly flutterinf with each step he took.

"Shadow the Hedgehog, creation of Gereld Robotonik, Son of Black Doom?" Thanatos asked, and Shadow nodded.

"Why you asking?" Shadow cocked his head to the side, shealthing his knife and gun.

"Becaause, Shadow, seventy. Years ago, I blessed you, my champion." Thanatos' voice suddenly rose, and I could hear a few of the gods gasp, especially Hades and Athena - both with looks on their faces that each said as clear as day, 'how did / how could I not know?'.

"My first time on Earth was a week ago." Shadow glared at the Thanatos, ruby flames lighting up his eyes.

"And you, Chaos' Champion." Thanatos turned to Sonic, and a symbol that was an eye with flames coming from it lit up on the blue blur's left fore arm, glowing bright gold.

"That is how you stopped time..." Silver muttered.

"I think so, but if so, I don't know my own power." Sonic admitted, his eyes not leaving the mark on his arm.

Then, on Shadow's shoulder, shone an amber symbol of a skull, proving that he was in fact the Champion of Death.

Then, on the small of my back - where my Achilles Heel once was -, I felt a burning sensation. I clutched that area of skin, and my father came rushing over to me along with Zoe.

Zoe lifted up my shirt as I could've sworn that my flesh was burning. Then, dad gasped along with Zoe.

"Champion of the Hearth..." A warm voice filled my mind - Heista.

All of the sudden, the pain subsided, and I rose to my feet, curtisy of Zoe.

"Well then, as this is all over, can we get on with the plan?" Knuckles asked, silencing us all.

"What of my daughter though?!" Athena asked again, anger in her eyes.

"Lady Athena, she betrayed us all for Luke Castellan." I answered simply.

"Alright then; Nico, Sonic, Hades and Melione - you four shall go and get Excalibur, as in Sonic's hands, it can be quite helpful. Zoe, Percy, Artemis and Thanatos - you lead a attack on Luke / Kronos and Annabeth, as they would most likely be staying together. Knuckles, Athena, Zeus and I shall lead a team against Doctor Eggman. Meanwhile, Shadow, Silver, Poseidon, Ares and Apollo lead the main attack on Mephiles the Dark. The rest of us shall be split evenly between all the teams except for Sonic's team, which are to retrieve the sword known as Excalibur. Once retrieved, they come through the portal as well, and aid anyone of their choice. Got it?" Tails asked.

"Anyone object to this plan? I'm suprised that this boy isn't one of my children." Athena announced, and Tails blushed slightly.

"Tails, you take the new model of the Tornado, as it would be helpful against good ol' Egghead." Sonic added.

"What can't Tails do?" I asked, and Knuckles shrugged.

"He can build a few robot armies to help us if needed." Knuckles joked, and Tails just shook his head.

"I don't have the time Knuckles. I need a month to do that, and a month we don't have. We have two days at the most."

"Wait, Hephestus is on Olympus, right? Call him, and you (Tails) and Lady Athena can rebuild that plane that was blown up by Eggman." Zoe suggested, her volcanic black eyes lighting up with hope.

"That might work actually..." Athena mumbled, her dark brown hair cascading over her face.

"Call him. You need to get started now though. Get Hermes here too." Zeus ordered. "Earth is falling apart as it is. We need to end this battle now!"

Great, I thought, I'm going against Annabeth - AGAIN!

"Alright - Camelot Castle, Dungeon of Secrets." Sonic said to Nico, Hades and Melione. Nico then grabbed Sonic and dragged him into the nearest shadow, Hades and Melione following.

(LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK!)

(A/N: Would end the chapter here, but I'm feeling a bit too generous today.)

Sonic's point of view:

Hephestus and Hermes arrived in mere minutes, and then Nico, Hades, Melione and I were on our way.

Shadow travel was freaky - air that was as cold as the dark side of the moon bit into my blue fur.

All of a sudden, Nico was covered in. A bright glow as he was turned back into his human form. There was nothing but darkness around me, and the cold was sending shivers up my spinee. Strange, demonic noises filled the air, and we were going so fast, I felt as if my face was peeling off.

We then melted out of the shadows, and in a pit - and we was falling.

Wait...

FALLING?!

I looked around with haste, and saw that around us were dark red, navy blue and dark purple lights, giving this endless pit.

Hades and Melione looked around in shock - along with Nico.

"This place is bigger than Tartarus..." Nico muttered under his breath, and I looked up. The lights were endless, and I certainly didn't put Excalibur in this place, as I would most certainly remember where I left that sword.

As if on cue, we all hit the ground, and Melione let out a very un-girly 'omph'.

"What the Hades?" Nico asked, and Hades glared at his son.

"Where in my name are we?" Hades asked, and it was Nico's turn to glare at his father.

"Even you use your name as a curse!" The Necromancer grumbled.

"It is my name though, Nico di Angelo!" Hades glared at his son.

I saw Melione roll her eyes at the two's antiques.

I then noticed, at the corner of the room, sat a familiar four and a half foot golden sword. The infinity symbol was branded into the tip of the blade, and the word 'Excalibur' was inprinted down the side in Mobian hieroglyphics.

"Bingo." I smirked to myself as I walked up to the sword, and it pulsed a strong gold as I grabbed the hilt of the blade. I removed it from it's stand and admired the blade.

"We're done I take it?" Hades impatiently asked, cutting my train of thoughts.

"Yeah... But first, we should see what is at the top of this place." I said.

"This place is deeper than Tartarus itself! I'm going back to your land to enter the portal. Melione, Nico join me." Nico obeyed his father and left with Hades, while the Greek Goddess of Ghosts stared at me.

"Why are you still here?" I asked her.

She suddenly shifted image so she looked like a dark red hedgehog with aqua highlights, and ghostly white energy surrounded her.

"What's going on?!" I asked her, and she shifted to a pale skinned boy, with dark red hair, and startling aqua eyes. A sickly scar ran horozontally through his left eye, as if he was abuse when he was young.

"He is my son... A special child would be much more suitible for him. He is more than just a Demigod, as for who his father is." Melione answered, shifting back into her ghostly form.

"Who is his father?" I asked her.

"That, is something I cannot tell you. Farewell, Sonic the Hedgehog." She then faded from existance... But that hedgehog was awefully familiar.

I shrugged the thoughts off, and set myself the target to escape this place.

I then jumped high into the air, and leapt from each side of the endless pit and made my way upwards, as something awaited me far above me - I know it.

(LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK!)

Me (Soul): Alright, now, I bet people are wondering why I gave randomly gave Thanatos a champion... Just say that it suits Shadow's personality. I only wrote this last night, and been up for 76 hours non stop... So I'm going to sleep. And why Melione was there - her son, who I have planned out for the sequel to this story.

Sonic: I know who he is!

Me: Oh, just shut the HELL up!

Sonic: No!

Random druggie: SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY!

Me: Ignore that junkie, as it is a retard to smoke that shit. So, yeah, GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS AUTHOR'S NOTE!

Thalia: SONIC!

Sonic: Damn... Those Stolls put the entire blame on me. *runs off*

Thalia: GET BACK HERE! *runs after Sonic*

Shadow: Just Read and Review so Soul don't get Thanatos and I on you! *puppy eyes*

Me: O.o Cut that out, cos' that is just freaky! Shadow the Emo Ebony King Hedgehog has just used the puppy eyes! *shivers* Read and Review so you never see that sight, as it is more scary than finding your mum in bed with Uranus!
