Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius
3rd Saga: The Black Armed Nocturnus
Episode 78
Previously on Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius...
Sonic and Sally travelled up to Holoska's Mammoth Mountain, where they met the local Freedom Fighter group known as the Arctic Angels.
Meanwhile Eggman arrived at his base in White Acropolis, where he had a Mobian mammoth frozen solid. But not for long, as a shark by the name of Sharps managed to melt the ice, and free the mammoth!
Identifying himself as Mogul to Sonic and the Arctic Angels, he demands the Power of the Stars from Atlantinopolis.
Who is this Mogul? Why did Eggman have him frozen in his base? And what is this Power of the Stars in Atlantinopolis? Find out next on Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius!
Chapter Twenty Eight: White-Cold Battle!
As Eggman manages to get to a safe level of his base while it flooded, he noticed that both the mammoth and the shark were gone.
"*gasp pant* Blast! I forgot that Mammoth Mogul could control the minds of Mobians." He said as he gasped for air. "Prepare the Egg Fighters for battle! It's time for their test run..." Not long after he said that, a large door opened in the Robot Storage Room, revealing a large number of blue robots that had the heads of an Egg Pawn, but their bodies were a little bigger, and they looked slightly tougher.
About twenty of the robots emerged from the room (with a handful grabbing swords and shields), and marched out of the base.
Just outside the cabin of the Arctic Angels on Mammoth Mountain, they, Sonic and Sally have been confronted by a large mammoth who calls himself Mogul.
"Mammoth Mogul?" Sally asked in fear. "But... you were frozen in Permafrost by Eggman years ago!"
"Even while frozen, my dear Princess..." Mogul replied. "...my mind control can reach those I have already marked... like Sharps the Shark." This startled Flip and Sealia, before Mogul pointed to the Sword of Light. "And with that sword, I shall finally unlock the Power of the Stars!"
"You want it, trunky?" Sonic asked as he revealed the sword in all its glory, before jumping on a snowboard and moving down the mountain. "...come and get it!"
"That was grave mistake on your part, boy..." Mogul warned as he started flying after Sonic. Little did either of them know that Sonic had dropped his fake Chaos Emerald.
As Sonic moved further down the mountain, he saw some robots marching towards him, making him grin...
"Cool! Eggman's got some new toys for me to play with!" He joked as he and Mogul closed in on the battalion. While Sonic was about to jump into the air to attack one of the robots, Mogul used his power to raise them all above Sonic's reach, allowing the two of them to move down the mountain without a scratch. Whereas the robots all fell down to the ground.
"Cease running and fight me, coward!" Mogul demanded as he unleashed an orb of energy at Sonic, but he just swung his sword at it, deflecting Mogul's attack.
"Hey, I'll fight when I wanna!" Sonic replied, before realizing where he was headed: Icy cold water! When Sonic stopped at the edge of the ice, he started to lose his balance when he saw a shark waiting for him with his mouth open! "Uhh... you don't wanna eat me, buddy! I'm uh... not the kind of food you can swallow! *nervous chuckle*"
"He will not listen to you, hedgehog..." Said Mogul, before Sonic noticed the same diamond-shaped mark on both his and the shark's forehead. "For he is bound to me. Hand over the Sword of Light. Now." Sonic looked at his sword, before smirking.
"No can do."
"You are indeed a stubborn fool. Very well. I shall open a path to Atlantinopolis myself!" Mogul then aimed his hands at the water, before firing a beam at it, causing water to split into two sections, revealing a city deep on the bottom.
"Whoa... is that?" Sonic asked, amazed at the sight.
"Atlantinopolis..." Mogul replied. "...and in order for me to unlock the Power of the Stars within that city, you must be destroyed."
"Just try it!" Challenged Sonic as he prepared to fight the mammoth, unaware that the Mogul-controlled Sharps was still waiting for his lunch...
As Augustus ran down Mammoth Mountain and Flip & Sealia swam down as fast as they could, Sally found the fake Emerald.
"Oh no! Without this fake Emerald, Sonic doesn't stand a chance against Mammoth Mogul!" Sally exclaimed, before looking at the blue Chaos Emerald Rachel was holding. "Rachel, can I interest you in a trade?" The reindeer immedietly held the Emerald tighter.
"But... I'm a monster without this Chaos Emerald!" She said, looking worried.
"Without a Chaos Emerald..." Sally replied, as she approached Rachel and Guntiver while holding out the fake. "...this Emerald may have been made by a friend of mine, but I'm pretty sure it'll keep your power in check." This made Rachel look at both the fake and real Emeralds. "I know it's a scary thought Rachel, but you're going to have to learn how to control your power someday..."
"...All right. Here." Said the reindeer as she and Sally traded Emeralds, before Rachel realized something... "Hey... I don't feel any different... this Emerald works!"
"That's great, Rachel!" Exclaimed Sally before she passed the real Emerald over to Carnage.
"Get that Chaos Emerald to Sonic as fast as you can!" Guntiver told the cougar.
"On it!" Carnage replied before running down the mountain on all fours.
Witnessing the Egg Fighters' being bypassed, Eggman was quite angry...
"Grr... that was a minor setback..." He pointed out as he attached his Egg Mobile to the Egg Hawk. "All Egg Fighters report to the perimeter of the base, and cover my escape." As the Egg Fighters surrounded Eggman's base, the Doctor himself flew away.
While Sonic was blocking and reflecting what attacks Mogul threw at him, he was still unaware that Sharps was waiting for him.
"Are you ever going to fight back, hedgehog?" Mogul teased.
"Ngh! Maybe if you'd stop with the magic stuff, I could land a hit!" Sonic replied. Just before Sonic looked back, Sharps was pulled underwater by Flip and Sealia, getting Mogul's attention, and allowing Sonic to jump towards the mammoth & start slashing! But Mogul had a shield around him, preventing Sonic's attacks from hitting him!
"Take this!" Shouted Flip as he punched Sharps, before Sealia hit the shark pretty hard with her tail. What neither of them were expecting was Sharps to fire lasers from his mouth, causing them to swim away!
"Sacre bleu!" Sealia cried as they swam. Before they could get too far though, Augustus dove into the water and punched Sharps from above! "Whoa... nice work, Augustus!" This made the polar bear blush slightly.
"Praise him later!" Flip told the seal. "C'mon, we still gotta beat this creep!" After that, all three of them swam towards Sharps.
Soon, Mogul shoved Sonic into the chasm that he created, but Sonic stuck his sword into the edge, allowing him to hang as he sighed with relief.
"Whew! That was close." He exclaimed.
"You realize I can just as easily throw you down there without a second thought, correct?" Asked Mogul, making Sonic looking up at the mammoth, before he spied Carnage getting closer...
"Tch. You're bluffin', big guy. I can tell." Sonic said to Mogul, enraging the mammoth.
"PERISH, YOU FOOL!" Shouted Mogul. But Carnage rammed into him and passed the Chaos Emerald to Sonic. "A Chaos Emerald?"
"That's right! Now get ready to see the true power of the Knight of the Wind!" Sonic replied before he attached the Chaos Emerald to his gauntlet, causing it and the Emerald to glow brightly... soon, armor that was a platinum colour started attaching itself to Sonic, and the Sword of Light changed slightly, and it also gained marks of light on it. As Sonic gained a light cape and a platinum helmet, he realized how much power he now wielded. "Whoa..." He was once again Excalibur Sonic, only this time he was much stronger! "Ha! Let's do this!"
As Excalibur Sonic engaged Mammoth Mogul between Atlantinopolis and White Acropolis, Sally, Guntiver and Rachel watched from Mammoth Mountain...
"Go, Sonic!" Cheered Sally, while Rachel was staring at the fake Chaos Emerald and thinking about what Sally told her...
"(I know it's a scary thought Rachel, but you're going to have to learn how to control your power someday...)" Rachel suddenly looked at Sonic fighting Mogul with determination in her eyes...
"Rachel? What is it, sweetheart?" Guntiver asked, but he didn't get an answer. Before either him or Sally knew it, Rachel grabbed a pair of poles, put a pair of skis on her feet, and started skiing down the mountain!
"Rachel!" Shouted Sally.
"C'mon, let's got after her!" Rotor told Sally & Guntiver as they jumped on a red snowmobile and zoomed after the reindeer.
Meanwhile, Augustus just landed another hit on Sharps, before he realized that he was running out of air, and he started to swim to the surface... only for Sharps to bring him back down into the water using his tail! Before Sharps could attack the polar bear however, Flip and Sealia started swimming around the shark at an amazing speed!
"Augustus! Get to the surface!" Flip shouted.
"We'll cover you." Added Sealia, as Augustus nodded before swimming up. As Flip and Sealia continued to swim around him, Sharps started to get dizzy... allowing Flip and Sealia to beat him up some more! Sharps tried to shoot lasers at the two, but they were too fast!
"Heh. As Sonic would say: You're too slow!" Teased Flip. Before Sharps knew it, Augustus came back down and punched him so hard that he fell down into the depths of the sea!
At that moment, Excalibur Sonic was easily slashing through Mogul's shield, only to find that Mogul wasn't even inside the shield!
"What?" Sonic asked in disbelief.
"It seems you are as gullible as you are foolish." Said Mogul from a distance. When Sonic looked around, he saw that Mogul was fast approaching Atlantinopolis!
"No!" Sonic shouted before he chased after the mammoth. Before Mogul could reach the city, he was hit by a beam of light that severly drained him of his power!
"Blast you, hedgehog!" He screamed out in pain.
"That wasn't me, chief..." Said Sonic, looking at where the beam originated... it was coming from Rachel's antlers, as she had the fake Chaos Emerald in the snow beside her!
"You... cannot... deny me... my destiny!" Mogul shouted as he disappeared, and Rachel's attack ended.
After Sonic changed back to normal, the Arctic Angels gathered around him while Sally hugged him.
"I knew you'd do great, Sonic." Sally told him.
"Hey, I shouldn't be getting all the credit here!" Sonic pointed out.
"That's right. You all did an amazing job to help Sonic!" Guntiver told Flip, Sealia, Augustus, Carnage and Rachel.
"Merci, mon capitaine." Sealia replied as Rachel blushed, and Flip, Augustus and Carnage high-fived each other. Sonic then looked at the water that had covered Atlantinopolis, and it got him thinking...
"Guys? What's that Power of the Stars thing that Mogul mentioned a few bajillion times?" He asked the Arctic Angels.
"Rotor?" Said Guntiver.
"The Power of the Stars is something that nearly destroyed Mobius and the Sol Zone when they were just one planet." Rotor replied, which shocked Sonic.
"Mobius and the Sol Zone were once one planet?" He asked in disbelief, before Rotor nodded. "Well... I guess that explains why there're Mobians in the Sol Zone... but how come the planet was split in two?"
"According to some ancient scrolls I found down in Atlantinopolis..." Said Rotor. "...the Power of the Stars was too much for the planet to handle on its own. So Chaos and Iblis seperated the planet, with the Sol Zone on the other side of the galaxy, and Mobius staying right where it is now."
"It is said that those who wield the Sword of Light here and the Jeweled Scepter in the Sol Zone can access the Power of the Stars." Sealia pointed out, making Sonic realize something...
"(Blaze...)" He thought before coming to a conclusion."I wanna see this Power of the Stars."
"But Sonic... you can't swim!" Said Sally, looking worried.
"I know... but we can't let creeps like Mogul or Eggman get their hands on it! It just seems iway/i too dangerous." Sonic then turned to Flip and Sealia. "Think you two could give me a lift?" Both of them nodded.
"How about us?" Asked Sally, getting Sonic's attention.
"Shouldn't be a problem, right Sealia?" Flip replied.
"Non, no problem at all." Said Sealia.
"Sal, are you sure?" Asked Sonic, before Sally placed her hands on his face.
"Sonic... I don't want to be apart from you again." Hearing this, Sonic smiled.
"Yeah. I guess that's fair."
Later that night in the Sol Zone (within the royal castle, to be exact), Princess Blaze was walking within the castle walls, wearing skin-tight white pants, a purple coat with a red and faint-gold lining, and her shoes appear to have the same style, except for the pink strap.
"Princess Blaze! What are you doing up at this hour?" Asked Gardon, making the cat angrily sigh.
"Gardon, I'm seventeen." She told the koala. "I think I'm old enough to take care of myself."
"(That's what they all say...) Very well, Princess." Gardon replied. "Good night."
"Good night." Before Blaze entered her bedroom chamber, she suddenly got the urge to do something she hadn't done before... "I wonder..." Blaze then walked away from her bedroom chamber, and headed down to the Treasure Room, where the seven Sol Emeralds and the Jeweled Scepter were located. "I only hope there's no repocussions for this..." After twirling the Jeweled Scepter over her head, a portal opened up, much like when she helped Sonic get home (sorta). Blaze then jumped through the portal with the Jeweled Scepter, letting a note fall to the ground.
At that moment, Mammoth Mogul appeared within a trailer where Mina Mongoose was sleeping...
"Rest easy, for I shall soon need your assistance, my Second..." He said as he placed his thumb on Mina's forehead, leaving a green diamond shaped mark that eventually seeped into her head. Seeing this, Mogul vanished without a trace.
