Central City. One of the most popular and biggest cities on the planet, stretching around 8 miles long and wide and beaming with life from both Humans and Mobians. Ever since the defeat of Perfect Chaos, the city had experienced a peaceful life for the most part, and having suffered no further attacks, it allowed the citizens of the city to rebuild and improve what was demolished and what was already there. It seemed to be just another normal day for everyone, but that was all about to change.
Suddenly, a strange shadow loomed over the city from above, one most managed to take notice of and looked to the skies to find out what was going on. An oddly looking Mobian, with red skin, strange black markings on his body, black sclera'd eyes with red irises, and spikey hair, was the cause of the shadow. He hovered just a bit outside the city and above the grasslands that surrounded the city, looking down on all the people with an expression of disgust. It was like they were bugs to him, insects even, and ones he was going to crush under his boot.
As he raised his right hand outwards and pointed it towards the city, a strange black energy ball the size of his palm, appeared at the end of his hand. The figure pushed his hand forward and fired off the attack directly into the centre of the city, and upon making contact with the ground, what was once a small energy ball burst out and expanded into a massive dome that consumed the entire city, however this blast was not designed to destroy.
While it did partially damage the buildings, roads and streets of the city, the true intention of this attack was to eliminate every single living thing in the city. Whether they were Mobian, Human, Plant, Pet, it didn't matter, once the energy from the dome made contact with them, they were incinerated into nothing but ashes, and then what was left was destroyed. As the figure felt everyone in the city disappear as his dome engulfed the city, a sinister smirk dawned on his face.
Across the planet, in the city of Mobotropolis, Logan and Xiro were taking a peaceful walk around the city. Even though Logan hadn't been able to use Chaos Heal to re-grow his arm yet, he'd managed to deal with it. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, it looked to be another quiet day for the two, until each of them sensed something horrid and stopped in their tracks with an expression of pure shock.
Xiro:"Did-Did you just feel that?" he asked as he turned to his brother, and he did the same.
Logan:"How could I not? So many people's energies…just disappeared!"
Xiro:"And that energy that destroyed them…it was so…evil…and powerful…"
Logan:"I don't know why…but that energy it's producing feels…familiar…something's going on here, and we need to find out what!"
Just then, before the two could go and do anything about what they just sensed, they were contacted by Tails on their com links, and they could feel the urgency in his voice.
Tails (on com):"You two, come meet us at Castle Acorn right now! You need to see this!"
With not a second to spare, the two flew off to the castle to see why they had been requested.
When the two arrived in the Castles living room, they found the Freedom Fighters, as well as King Elias, staring up at the big screen TV, showcasing a news report on the television. The screen showed images of Central City, now with a few buildings damaged or destroyed, several fires and clouds of smoke emerging from different areas of the city, and absolutely no signs of life. Along the bottom of the screen was a headline reading "VANISHING ACT FOR THE CITIZENS OF CENTRAL CITY" and under that was a little more clarification reading "Every citizen of Central City has disappeared in an apparent attack on the city".
Sonic:"Holy…"
Amy:"All those poor people…" she managed to get out before covering her mouth with her hands from shock.
Elias:"Surely nothing could cause that much destruction…"
News Reporter:"This is the latest image we have of Central City after the attack not even half an hour ago. Earlier, our satellites captured the image of a massive black dome consuming the whole city, and later after that disappeared, several blasts of black energy could be seen being fired across the city. We now take you live to the scene, with one of our reporters on the Heli Crew"
Heli News Reporter:"Thanks back in the studio! As you can see from what our camera man get capture, the city is in shambles. It seems that a mysterious force attacked the city, and while they didn't cause too much damage the actual city itself, the scans given to us by G.U.N have told us that every living thing in the city has been wiped out by this force. We don't know whether it was Eggman's army, or something else entirely that caused this, but whatever did do this, certainly has some serious power.
We-hold on. Do you see that?" he asked as he pointed out the Heli-Copter, at something slowly moving out of the city "It looks like a person is floating out of the city. They don't look like a Human, or even a normal Mobian! They appear to have some strange markings on them. Wait…he's turned to face us…he's raising his left hand out towards us, is he trying to signal us? Wait…something's glowing from his hand, it's getting bigger…Oh No! IT'S HEADED RIGHT FOR US! TURN THE HE-!" but the feed was suddenly cut off as the light reached the camera crew, and the feed was cut off.
Antoine:"Vhat on Mobius was zat?!"
Logan:"That person's energy was pure evil, and it was incredibly powerful. It won't stop with just destroying Central City. Sooner or later, it'll move onto the rest of the world, and there'll be no one to stand-up to that kind of power. I'm going down there to stop this thing before it gets out of hand!"
Xiro:"You're not going alone. That thing is way too powerful for you to handle alone! Plus you've lost an arm, so you'll be at a disadvantage! I'm coming with you. With our power, I have no doubt we can stop whatever this thing is!"
Sonic:"I'm going as well! I'm not gonna just stand by as this thing takes millions of innocent lives!"
Logan:"Alright then. That thing is still in the city, so that's where we're headed!"
The Hedgehog and hybrid walked up to Logan's left and right side respectively, and placed the opposite hand to the side they were on, on the Mangham's shoulder as he raised his right fingers to his forehead to preform Instant Transmission. After taking a few seconds to lock onto the energy, the Mangham commented "We'll be back!" before the 3 of them disappeared.
It took less than a millisecond for the three to arrive just outside the city's broken walls, and upon inspecting their location, they realised the reports on TV hadn't exaggerated. Destruction, fire, and absolutely no signs of life, making Central City a literal ghost town. After taking in their surroundings for a few moments, the three wandered into the city in search of the one that caused this. What was once such a busting and packed place, had become nothing but a desolate memory. The three grew angrier and angrier the further they walked through the city, observing all this unnecessary death and destruction was starting to get to them.
The blue blur stopped at one point while his comrades walked a little bit ahead, seeing something on the ground that caught his eye. As he knelt down and grabbed it, he found the item to in fact be a child's toy, a girls doll to be exact, and it was covered in her own blood. The hedgehog gripped it tight in his hand from all the rage he could feel burning through his body, but loosened his grip when he realised getting angry wasn't going to solve anything, and so put the doll back down before catching up to the Mangham's.
Sonic:"This is way past not cool. How could anyone do this? What could drive them to take this many lives for the sake of it?"
Logan:"Only people whose souls are pure evil could do something like this, and I think that's exactly what we're fightin. Though the more I look around, the more I think this wasn't done just for the sake of killing. It feels more like a trap that was set to lure us here"
"And that's exactly what it was!" a voice called from above, catching the threes attention.
Ahead of them all, standing atop a building at the end of the street, was the man that had caused all this, the 'prisoner' that the mysterious figure had released, though the three Freedom Fighters didn't know this. Knowing he had their attention, he slowly floated up off the building, and landed down on the street a few metres away from the three fighters.
Xiro:"You…you're the one who killed everyone in the city!"
Unknown:"Hehe, guess I am. I tried thinking of the best way to grab your attention, and I knew exactly what would get under your skin: the deaths of thousands of innocent lives! And it looks like it worked pretty well, wouldn't you agree, Logan?"
Logan:"Just who are you, and why are you here?!"
Unknown:"My name is Kilutro the Demon. I was created thousands of years ago, around the dawn of time if I recall correctly, and was placed deep within the core of this planet. Every time this planet has experienced some sort of danger, like Eggman's many schemes, Perfect Chaos, The Suppression Squad, and so on, the evil energy given off by them has been transferred into me and allowed me to grow stronger. I've been waiting there for so long, until the point where my power had grown strong enough to be able to fulfil my purpose!"
Sonic:"Would it be a stupid idea to ask what that purpose was"
Kilutro:"Hehe, probably. I was created to fulfil my master's desire of killing one certain individual, and that one is you, Logan Mangham!" he yelled as he pointed directly at the same Mangham with his right hand, before clenching that same hand into a fist and pulling it back as he charged at the trio.
Of course, he attacked Logan first, dealing the hybrid a punch off the same hand he pointed at him with, sending the Freedom Fighter flying down the street before the demon chased after him. He caught up to Logan whilst he was still flying down the street in no time, and began a skirmish of punches and kicks with him as they continued to soar down the street, each attack being thrown at incredible speeds.
After about 10 seconds of going at it, the two fighter's ended their skirmish by colliding their right elbows together, forcing them to back off one another and halted their flight down the road. Kilutro quickly followed up his strike with a jump front kick to the Mangham's face off his left leg, sending the young man straight to the ground, right before the monster began flying in the other direction.
The demon flew towards one of the tallest skyscrapers of the city, before he began flying upwards alongside the building, almost skimming it as he flew upwards. He sensed someone coming towards him, and sidestepped out the way as Xiro burst through the side of the building and attempted to left punch the monster, but instead received a right back kick in the head from Kilutro as he continued his ascension up the building. The Mangham took a minute to recover, before he looked back at the monster and gave him an angered growl, and then flew up after him.
While Kilutro was still flying up along the building, the hybrid caught up to him fairly quickly, and as the demon turned around, he began throwing multiple punches off each fist in an attempt to inflict some damage, however only succeeded in hitting and damaging the building behind the monster, as he was able to dodge each and every one of the Freedom Fighters strikes.
Eventually, the two reached the top of the building and flew above it, and it was at that point that Kilutro had grown tired of Xiros failed attempts at attacks, and so grabbed both of Xiros fists in each of his hands, threw them upwards to catch the Mangham off guard, and then dealt the Mangham a left hook across the face. However the monster wasn't finished, as he grabbed hold of the hybrids now injured face with his right hand, and threw him downwards and onto the roof of the skyscraper the two scaled, breaking through the roof on impact and falling onto the floor below.
Just then, Logan used his Instant Transmission to teleport next to Kilutro without getting himself detected, right before he dealt the monster a right spinning hook kick across the face, followed up with a right hook across the face, and a left spinning sidekick to the demons stomach, forcing him back a few steps. The Mangham dropped his guard slightly in order to see the damage he'd inflicted on his opponent, however was shocked when Kilutro simply turned back to him, completely unaffected by his attacks. The demon cracked his neck, before he rushed at the hybrid with incredible sped, and engaged in another skirmish with him.
While those two went at it, Sonic was running alongside and up one of the skyscrapers as fast as he could, and upon reaching the top, leapt up high into the air while trying to keep most of his speed and momentum. He quickly spotted the two warriors skirmish, and locked onto Kilutro before he began charging up a powerful spindash whilst still in the air and keeping as much of his speed as he could. Once he was at full power, he blasted off across the skies at Super-Sonic Speeds towards the monster, his attack gaining more and more power as he drew closer and closer.
It didn't take much for Kilutro to sense Sonics incoming attack while still in the skirmish, and decided it best to counter the attack if he didn't want to get irritated. He blocked Logan's right roundhouse kick to the face with his left hand, grabbed hold of his leg with the same hand, and then threw him flying downwards into the side of a tall building. The monster then turned to face the incoming blue blur, and readied his left fist to counter the Super Spindash when it reached him.
The Hedgehog began to yell at the top of his voice as he was about to collide with Kilutro, and the demon swung his fist back before throwing it forwards as Sonic reached him, the collision between the two creating a massive shockwave that broke the glass of nearly every building in the city. Once it was sent out, Xiro nearly fell over from the power of the shockwave, and Logan was nearly pushed back into the wall of the building he collided with, which he was now hanging onto.
Not only had it created a massive shock wave, but a massive smoke cloud as well that hid the fate of the two fighters, though it was slowly beginning to fade. To everyone back home, they were unsure of whether the hedgehogs attack had been successful, though on the battlefield, the two hybrids knew exactly what happened the second the attack landed. As the smoke finally disappeared, the result was revealed, and there in the sky floated Kilutro, without a single scratch and now holding Sonic by the neck with his right hand, slightly strangling him in order to watch him squirm.
"Did you actually think, that you, with that tiny power level of yours, could really hurt me?"
Sonic:"If I told you yes…do I win something…?" he managed to let out despite his current situation.
Kilutro:"You humour me hedgehog! But that won't save you from your fate!" he exclaimed, before throwing the hedgehog towards the ground.
The blue blur hit the ground with such speed and force, he went skimming across the ground, leaving a small trail in the road from where he'd travelled, before finally crashing into a small shop on a street corner, and was buried in the rubble of the building, which collapsed onto him from he hit it.
Back in the skies, Kilutro looked down on the hedgehog with a face of disgust, being in the presence of so many weaklings was annoying him, and another thing that annoyed him was the slight nip he felt on the back his head. That nip was in fact courtesy of Xiro, who had managed to teleported behind the demon and deal a right sidekick to the back of his head, though like his brother moments ago, he too was shocked to find his attack didn't do anything.
The monster turned his head slightly so that his eyes locked with the hybrid, before he whipped round faster than the Mangham could dodge and was given a left jab to the face. However in doing so, he was left wide open for another right sidekick to the back, this one courtesy of Logan, though his attack seemed to anger the demon more than hurt him. The monster gave the young man a left back kick to the stomach, right before he grabbed hold of Xiro's incoming left punch with his own left hand, and dealt the Mangham a right punch to the stomach.
He then grabbed hold of both hybrids heads, and slammed them into each other, the pain of said move causing them to fall back slightly, and adding to that pain was Kilutro giving the brothers a black energy blast to the stomach, the small explosion of each sent both flying towards the ground, but they managed to stop themselves in mid-air. The two looked at one another and nodded, before they charged at their opponent once more.
Upon reaching Kilutro, the two hybrids looked like they were both going to right punch the demon, however right before the monster could block their attacks and inflict damage on them, the two disappeared from sight. He lowered his guard, confused as to what just happened, but he left himself wide open once again, and allowed the two Mangham's, who came flying at incredible speeds from above, to double punch him in the back together, and send the monster flying into the side of a building down below.
As the monster tried to get out, Logan came flying from above and right elbow barged him through the other side of the building, and slowly began falling towards the ground. While the demon fell, Xiro came crashing down from above and began unleashed a fury of punches on Kilutro's chest upon reaching him, right up until the point where the two reached the ground, and the Mangham flew away right before impact. The monster managed to stand to his feet and was about to attack the two once again, but stopped in place when he heard a strange sound coming from behind him, and was getting louder the closer it got to him.
The second he turned around to see what it was, he was dealt a left punch straight across the face at Supersonic speeds, forcing him to fall back a few steps before he managed to stop himself. Then, he heard the same noise coming from the other direction, and as he turned again, he was dealt a right punch across the face at the same speed he received he last, forcing him to fall back another few steps before managing to gain control of himself.
The supersonic fast assault was finished off when the blue blur came running directly at the demon, and instead of a punch, gave the monster a spindash straight to the face, with enough speed and power to send Kilutro flying across the ground until he hit a small building, and the whole thing collapsed on him.
The trio met up and raised their guards ready for in case the monster got up after their attack, and sure enough, seconds later, small black beams of light shone through the cracks in the rubble, right before it was all disintegrated and revealed Kilutro standing before them, with not a scratch on him once again. It was at that moment the three realised there was only one way to defeat this warrior, and that was to go Super.
The two Mangham's channelled all their latent energy, before unleashing it and were consumed into a small ball of golden light, one which Sonic had to cover his eyes from in order to not blind himself. Seconds later, the light vanished and the two hybrids now stood in their Super Forms. Logan and Xiro began charging up all their energy before unleashing it and transforming into their Super Forms.
Logan then grabbed Sonics right hand with his own, and began transferring all the energy he could, before a golden light erupted from the hedgehog's body and he transformed into his Super Form. Just like every time the blue blur turned Super, his fur all turned golden, his quills stuck up slightly and grew a bit spikier, and his irises changed from their usual green to a bright red. The Super trio all looked at one another, before nodding and then each taking their fighting stances against Kilutro, symbolising the start of Round 2.
Xiro teleported behind Kilutro and dealt him a right punch straight to the back, which succeeded in causing him to stumble forwards slightly, almost like he felt their attacks now. Taking advantage of this possibility, the Mangham began unleashing a fury of punches on the demons back, so much so he almost started grunting from the pain he might have been feeling.
The hybrid halted his attack and jumped out the way as Sonic came flying straight at the monster and spindashed him dead on in the stomach at incredible speed, which would've made Kilutro gawk if he had a mouth. The hedgehog then jumped up out the spindash and right roundhouse kicked the god-like warrior across the face, right before he followed up with a fury of punches and kicks similar to Xiro, who upon noticing they were managing to keep the monster at bay, joined the golden blur in attacking the demon.
While they kept him distracted, Logan flew up into the air and began channelling as much Chaos Energy as he could to power up his next attack, and once he reached the maximum amount he could charge, he threw his right hand above him, and seconds later, hundreds of yellow Chaos Spears were created and hovered above him.
Every one of the attacks turned slightly so they were all locked onto the monster, and the moment the hybrid threw his right hand downwards, every single Chaos Spear fired off and began homing in on the demon like missiles. The two Freedom Fighters spotted the incoming attacks, and teleported out of the way, allowing Kilutro a glimpse of what was about to hit him, right before every Spear hit him in unison, creating a cloud of smoke as big as an explosion given off by 30 tonnes of explosives.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, stood atop one of the highest remaining buildings, was none other than the mysterious figure. His identity and features were once again hidden as he appeared as nothing more than a pure black figure, and adding further to that mystery was the long brown and slightly tethered cloak he wore, which included a hood that he wore. He had stood there the whole fight, watching intently and eagerly awaiting the results. A smile dawned on his face the moment he spotted the smoke cloud emerge through the buildings.
Unknown:"Hmhmhm…those fools…do they really think they can beat a warrior comprised of pure evil? Hehe, well…I look forward to watching him rip them apart one by one…"
Back with the three heroes, they eagerly awaited the result of their combined attack, hoping to have caused some damage, and their hopes were correct. As the monster emerged from the smoke, the Freedom Fighters were surprised to find a few bruises and slight burn marks on his person, as well, as the most annoyed expression across his face. Kilutro charged at Xiro faster than the group were able to counter, grabbed the hybrid by the neck with his left hand, and then slammed the Mangham into the ground, creating a small crater only as big as the one the monster held by the neck.
With Xiro in a position for Kilutro to take advantage of, the monster wasted no time in bring his right fist down upon the Mangham's face multiple times, and would've landed more than 4 hits had it not be for Sonic, who came flying from the left side and shoulder barged the demon using the arm corresponding to the side he came from. After the two got to their feet and stood a few metres away from one another, the golden blur attacked the demon with a fury of super speedy punches all up, down and across the warrior's chest and face, and while he did succeed in inflicting some damage, he succeeded in angering the monster more.
Not wanting to get more irritated, Kilutro grabbed hold of each side of the hedgehogs face, and pulled him forwards so he could slam his head into the golden blurs own. The demon then brought his left knee right under Sonics chin, teleported behind him and grabbed hold of his opponent's quills in his right hand, and finished up by slamming the hedgehog face first into the nearest building, forcing him to get stuck in the same spot he was slammed into. Right as the golden blur was going to attempt to get out, Kilutro striked him with a strong left punch right to the back, forcing him not only back into the wall, but through it, and so cause the rest of the building to comedown on top of him.
After a few seconds, a large chunk of the rubble from the building began to shake, before Sonic emerged from under it and threw it away from him, attempting to catch his breath. He looked up as a shadow loomed over him, which was in fact from Kilutro, who began to laugh upon seeing the small trail of blood coming from the hedgehog's forehead and down to his left cheek. The monster raised his left fist to bring down on the hedgehog, but before he was able to, Logan interrupted him with a well-placed left roundhouse kick to the neck of the demon, strong enough to send the evil being flying down the street.
The Mangham then teleported down the street and in front of the building Kilutro would end up hitting, and right as the monster arrived at said destination, the hybrid dealt the demon a right uppercut in the centre of his back, sending Kilutro flying straight up into the sky. The monster reached the same height as the tallest building in the city, and was sent sky-rocketing straight back down after Xiro teleported next to him and slammed both his fists down on the monsters stomach, sending him back down towards the ground where Sonic was awaiting at the point he would crash down.
The hedgehog had been channelling all the Chaos Energy he could for his attack, and had reached the amount he needed the moment the demon was about to hit the ground, and so with the yell of the incantation "CHAOS BLAST!" as he threw both his arms out to the sides, a massive red dome of destruction reaching heights of 30 feet and stretching for about the same distance, was unleashed in the area. The monster, of course, hit this dome, and was sent flying down the street once more due to its destructive power, and ended his flight with impact against a 200 metre high skyscraper, which, evidently, came crashing down on him seconds later.
The three fighters all met up together again and stared at the rubble that was left from Kilutro's crash, hoping to Chaos he didn't get up, but they probably knew better.
Xiro:"So…think that did something?"
Logan:"Besides pissing him off even more? Probably managed to break something"
Sonic:"That's not gonna stop him though, is it?"
Logan:"Not by a long shot"
The ground soon began to shake. The rubble left from the building all started to crack and shake before it all exploded and revealed Kilutro, this time with the tiniest marks on his person. He was breathing in a heavy and aggressive manner and his eyes were dead focused on the three.
Sonic:"Well you were right about him being even more pissed…"
Kilutro:"THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS BULLSHIT! I WAS CREATED TO KILL LOGAN MANGHAM, SO THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M GOING TO DO!"
The demon unleashed a mighty roar as he threw his hands down by his side, channelling his KI in the process, before seconds later, a black aura appeared around the monster, cracks were created in the ground around him that stretched for at least 5 metres in each direction, and in an instant, Kilutro's power level doubled.
He dashed at the 3 with speeds that were almost invisible to them, and upon reaching the Freedom Fighters, dealt a right punch straight to the hedgehog's stomach, sending him flying down the street. The Mangham's then tried attacking from the sides, with Logan coming from the left and throwing a right punch of his own, and Xiro going from the right and attempted to land a right roundhouse kick, but neither was successful. Kilutro grabbed each attack in both his hands, and threw the two hybrids to opposite ends of the city, in the opposite direction they'd attacked.
The golden blur came flying right back at the monster, and brought his left leg up to land a sidekick, however upon contact with the monsters stomach, he didn't budge an inch, only kept his angered expression. Kilutro grabbed hold of Sonics leg with his left hand, before bringing the hedgehog up above him, and then slamming him down on the ground behind him. He then picked up the golden blur by his quills using his right hand, and delivered five left punches straight to Sonics face, causing a massive nose bleed after he ceased punching him.
He followed up this attack by throwing the golden blur into the air, then flew straight up towards Sonic and slammed the hedgehog over his left knee, creating loud cracking noise upon impact, and forcing a yell of pain out of the golden blurs body. Knowing his opponent was now finished, the monster pushed the hedgehog into the air slightly using the knee he attacked him with, before brining both his fists down on Sonics stomach, sending him flying downwards and into the side of a building, which he got stuck in on impact for a few moments while he reverted back to his normal form, before he el down to the ground and didn't get back up.
On one side of the city, atop one of the many skyscrapers of the city, Xiro laid there still recovering from his impact. Upon managing to stand up, he heard a loud roar getting closer and closer to him from an unknown direction, however he was given a pretty good idea when Kilutro came flying and right front-kicked the hybrid in the back, sending him flying off the skyscraper he was on and onto the nearby one, with him only barely recovering in time before he nearly fell off the building, and watched as his opponent teleported before him. Believing to have an opening, Xiro struck the monster with a left hook across the face, and while his head did turn in response to the punch, as the demon moved back to face the hybrid, there wasn't even a mark on him.
Kilutro grabbed the Mangham's left arm with his right hand, and twisted it with such speed and force he almost broke it, though succeeded in seriously harming it. He then followed up with a quick right jab to Xiro's stomach, strong enough to make the hybrid gawk from the sheer pain that one move inflicted on him, before Kilutro grabbed the Mangham by the neck with his right hand, and flew up into the air while keeping hold of the Freedom Fighter and moving away from the building slightly.
Then, with one mighty and infuriated yell, the demon threw the hybrid diagonally at the building, causing him to break through one end of the building and come out the other, destroying everything above him from the point he pierced (which was a good 30% of the building) and sent him flying into a street in the middle of the city, with the Mangham creating a small crater on the point he crashed upon impact.
As the hybrid slowly moved his right hand underneath him, considering it was the only one he was able to use after having his other one nearly broken, and attempted to push himself up to his feet, but he knew it was useless from the start, and quickly collapsed to the ground as he passed out and reverted back to his normal form seconds later. The monster appeared before the now passed out warrior, and began to laugh at his pain, before he slowly raised his left hand and prepared to fire of an energy blast that would end his life here and there.
However, right before he could fire off the energy attack, he felt a slight something nip him on the back, and as he lowered his arm, causing his attack to disappear, and slowly turned around to investigate what had caused that nip in his back, he was greeted with an energy blast right to the face, the small explosion of which shrouded his face and blinded him.
As the smoke cleared, his face was revealed to be undamaged, and his once smug expression had changed to one of annoyance, and grew slightly angry as he spotted the one to fire off the attack, who was none other than Logan Mangham, still in his Super Form and stood atop a small pile of rubble while holding his right hand out. Despite being annoyed to see his opponent, he did begin to laugh at his efforts to hurt him.
Kilutro:"Hmhmhmhmhm. Come now Logan, what makes you think you have a chance of beating me? With my power, I'm practically a god! Do you really think you can stand up to me with your level of strength?" he questioned as he watched the hybrid slowly floated down off the rubble and onto the ground below.
Logan:"Not really, but throughout my whole life, I've always known one thing for sure…" he started as he slowly eased into his fighting stance "…and that's to never give up, no matter the odds!"
Kilutro:"Hmhmhm. Well, I think now would be a good time to ignore your instincts, because if you don't, I'm going to give you the most painful death imaginable!"
Logan:"I don't think so, cause I've still got a few tricks up my sleeve! Allow me to show you…KAIO-KEN TIMES 2!" he roared before his body became surrounded in a red aura and his power increased.
Kilutro:"Kaio-what?" he managed to ask, right before the Mangham teleported in front of him, catching him off guard completely, and landed a powerful right roundhouse kick across the demons face.
The monster managed to grab hold of the ground with his left hand, and drag himself down the street for a few metres until he was able to leap back onto his feet, right as Logan came flying at him and the two collided their right elbows together. The Mangham then quickly managed to land a backfist off the same arm, across Kilutro's face, who quickly returned the favour with a right hook across the hybrids face, before the two exploded into a skirmish of punches and kicks with one another.
Eventually, the demon tried attacking his opponent to end the skirmish, and decided to execute this strategy with a right front kick to Logan, but the Mangham managed to spot it coming in time, and jumped over the monster in time to dodge the attack. The moment he landed behind Kilutro, the hybrid charged at him and was quick enough to land a right sidekick directly to the god-like warriors back, succeeding in making the monster flinch almost for a second. He then retaliated by teleporting so that he was facing the Mangham, his hands now held out to face the young man, and unleashed a black energy wave out of his hands that grew to the same size as himself, and had enough force to send Logan flying down the street.
The hybrid soared down the street for a few seconds, but managed to recover himself and land feet first on the side of the building, but leapt off his landing point right as the demon came crashing towards him, fists extended out ready to perform a double punch on his opponent, but ended up going straight through the building and destroy it, as the Mangham had leapt out of the way before the monster could inflict any damage on him.
As the hybrid soared into the air, he turned back to face his opponent and fired off multiple energy blasts while he continued his ascent, however Kilutro burst out of the rubble fairly quickly and managed to deflect the energy blasts easily while simultaneously catching up to Logan, and as the two warriors met in the air, a skirmish of punches and kicks between the two quickly followed.
Kilutro:"I'll admit Logan, I'm impressed!" he yelled through their skirmish "That little technique you pulled off was very effective! While you aren't as strong as me, your power has grown enough for you to be on more even terms with me! But it won't last long, for my power will soon overshadow yours and destroy you!"
Logan:"Oh yeah?! Well if you really think that I'm gonna let that happen, I got news for you Mister 'Practically a God'! Maybe you aren't as powerful as you say you are!"
Kilutro:"Like all fools on the verge of feeling deaths embrace, you deny the truth! But you shall soon learn it!"
The monster let out a loud yell as, through the skirmish, he managed to throw his right hand directly into Logan's jaw, catching him off guard and sent the hybrid flying into the air, before colliding with one building, and then going through that one, as well as 3 more buildings before he just managed to come to a halt and stop himself on top of one building. The young man cracked his jaw and neck to throw off the pain he experienced from that move, before he flew up into the air to find his opponent.
Moments later, the same demon came flying into the hybrids field of vision, looking ready to attack him in some shape or way, though Logan was going to be more than prepared to counter him. As the Mangham drew his fist back, the demon began to grow closer and closer, extending his fists out to try and land another double punch, however right as the monster reached his target, Logan ducked under him slightly to dodge the attack, and then uppercutted the god-like warrior right in the stomach, receiving a yell of pain and annoyance for his efforts.
The Mangham then flew above his opponent, who was temporarily frozen in place form the pain, before bringing his fist up above him, and the bringing it don on Kilutro's back, sending him sky-rocketing down into another main street. Upon impact with the ground, the demon bounced up slightly, leaving him enough time to jump to his feet, and then attempt to see his opponent's next manoeuvre, which was actually to dive bomb directly towards him.
The demon fired off several energy blasts that homed in on Logan, but as he continued his descent towards his target, he was able to easily dodge the blasts and lose no momentum. As the Mangham met with the demon on the ground, the two threw their right fists out and slammed them against each other, the sheer impact sending out a shockwave that caused cracks in the ground to spread for around 6 metres in each direction, a small crater about 5 feet deep to appear below where they floated, and a few buildings around them to suffer some minor damage, right before the two engaged in a deadlock between their fists.
Whoever gave way first was going to suffer some serious pain, and it was unclear who was going to be the loser. Despite the small difference in power, Logan was managing to hold his own against Kilutro, and it looked like there would be no victor to this struggle, until the monster decided to do like all evil beings do and cheat his way to victory. Using his left hand, the demon raised his hand right in front of the Mangham while still struggling against him, and unleashed another black wave of energy the size of himself that sent the hybrid flying down the street once again.
The god-like warrior caught up with the young man easily, and while in mid-flight, landed a right sidekick to the Mangham stomach, a right punch to the stomach followed by a left punch to the face, a left knee to the stomach, and finally grabbed both sides of the hybrids face and slammed his head over his right knee, before he then landed a spinning sidekick off his right leg to Logan's chest, sending him flying even faster down the street, though he just managed to stop himself before he hit the side of a building.
The monster teleported in front of the hybrid, and threw his left hand out to land another punch to the young man's face, however he didn't expect for his opponent to grab hold of his attack and stop him in place. Even with the knowledge that he was stronger than the Mangham, he was confused as to why he was unable to rip his hand out from his opponents grasp. He stared right into the Super Hybrids bright green eyes, who stared back with a vengeance before speaking up.
Logan:"Now it's my turn! KAIO-KEN TIMES 2.5!" he roared as his red aura became a little brighter, bigger and stronger, with that last one also applying to his power as well.
Kilutro:"Times-what-?!"
He gripped the demons fist tighter for a moment, getting a slight grunt of pain for a second, right before he lifted up and slammed his right knee straight into the monsters jaw. He followed up with an uppercut to the god-like warrior's jaw, a spinning roundhouse punch to the demons left cheek, and a left front kick to the stomach that pushed Kilutro back slightly. This in turn, left him open for the Mangham to land a front kick off the other leg, this time to the demons face, followed up by a right elbow that was slammed straight into the monsters chest, forcing him to gawk slightly from the pain, right before he was given another right punch across the face that was so powerful, it sent him flying across the skies of the city.
To finish off the attack, Logan teleported just above where Kilutro would end up, and as the god-like warrior reached him, the Mangham slammed his elbow down on the monsters back, sending him sky-rocketing straight to the floor, with a cloud of smoke appearing after his impact and making his fate. As the smoke began to clear, the hybrid teleported down onto the ground just a bit away from the 3 feet deep crater that was made from the demons impact, and slowly watched as the god-like warrior floated out of it, now with a trail of blood leading from his nose.
Logan:"Funny…I didn't think gods could bleed…" he remarked with a smug smirk on his face, right as his aura died down slightly, returning to what it was once Kaio-Ken times 2 was activated.
His remark succeeded in pushing the evil being over the edge, and left him waning nothing more than to finally end his target. The two warrior's teleported into the skies above the city, never taking their stare off one another for a second. Each of them could tell by their energy and the look in each other's eyes that this was the end of the battle, and it was going to be one final mighty climax.
The demon raised his right hand and pointed it towards Logan, right as a ball of pure red energy appeared at the end of his palm, and slowly began to grow in size, getting bigger and bigger and stronger and stronger with each passing second. It quickly grew past his own size and peaked its growth upon reaching to be 10 feet tall and wide, now with sparks of black energy going around the ball constantly.
The hybrid slowly sinked into a backwards junsuki stance and moved his right hand down by his side while cupping it slightly and channelling his energy. A bright blue ball of energy appeared at the end of his palm, growing to be the size of his chest within a matter of seconds, and though its power didn't charge as quickly, it was still tremendously huge. Small beams of light began to shine out of the ball upon reaching its maximum power, and it began to look like the Mangham was struggling to hold the ball at this point.
With both attacks now at their maximum power, the two fighters unleashed their power while simultaneously yelled the names of their attacks.
Kilutro:"PLANET CRUSHER!" he yelled as he threw his hand downwards, launching the ball towards the hybrid.
Logan:"KAMEHAMEHA!" he roared as he threw his hand forward, and the ball exploded out into a beam the same size as himself, soaring across the skies towards the monster.
Both attacks collided with each other after a few seconds, with both fighters trying their hardest to push the others attack back and claim victory. The Mangham succeeded in pushing the demons energy ball back slightly, only for the energy beam to be pushed back to being at an equal distance between the two fighters. Once again, despite the difference in power, Logan's attitude to never give up seemed to be what gave him the strength to stand against Kilutro's attack and keep him at bay, however the god-like warrior wasn't going to have that.
The monster fired off two small energy blasts, similar in looks to his Planet Crusher, using the same hand he was using to control the same energy attack, and upon making contact with the already huge attack, the energy fused together and caused the demons Planet Crusher to grow from being 10 feet tall and wide, to 12 feet, increasing its power at the same time. The Mangham was no longer able to match this attack with his own, and could feel/see his Kamehameha slowly start to get pushed back towards him, which only spelled trouble for the young man.
Logan:"Damnit! His attack's grown too strong for me to be able to hold back, and I don't have any more power to try and counter it! Not only that, but I can feel the effect of the Kaio-Ken while using my Super Form starting to take affect! I knew it was dangerous to my body, but there was no other way for me to stand up to him! If I went to times 3, I could overpower him and save the planet, but I might destroy my body and possibly kill myself in the process…but I don't have a choice! If I don't stop him now, then Mobius is done for!"
Kilutro:"THIS IS IT LOGAN! I'VE PUT EVERY LAST BIT OF POWER I HAVE INTO THIS ATTACK, SO THERES NO WAY YOU'LL SURVIVE! NOW PREPARE YOURSELF, BEFORE I SEND YOU INTO OBLIVION!"
Logan:"KAIO-KEN…"
Suddenly, as the energy attacks were metres away from hitting him, Logan's attack stopped in place and kept the Planet Crusher at bay with no effort.
"TIMES…"
In seconds, the energy attacks were now back to being at an equal distance from each fighter, and no matter how much power the demon put into his attack, he was unable to make the Kamehameha budge an inch. Just then, like moments ago when Logan activated the Kaio-Ken times 2.5, his aura grew brighter, bigger and stronger than before, a tad more so than was caused by times 2.5, and his power increased once again, before he finished the last part of his chant with a mighty roar.
"THREEEEE!"
All of a sudden, the Kamehameha changed from being a bright blue to a bright red, at the same time it grew to be around 7'5 feet tall and wide, and the power of the attack increased dramatically, enough so that it completely pierced through Kilutro's own Planet Crusher, the energy of which disappearing after doing so, and the beam began sky-rocketing towards the monster with no signs of stopping, who was simply frozen from fear due to this turn of events.
Kilutro:"WHATS GOING ON?! WHERE IS THAT POWER COMING FROM?! NOOOO!" he yelled right before he raise his guard in an effort to shield himself form the pain.
However his efforts were in vein, as the moment the attack made contact with the demon, his guard was shattered and he was engulfed into the massive bright red light of destruction. He began to feel a burning sensation all over his body, forcing a scream of pain out of his body, which was in fact the last thing ever heard from him, right before he was incinerated into ashes from the light, and those ashes were destroyed by the red explosion of light that followed that was equal to size and power of one given off by 100 tons of explosives.
The city was relatively unscathed from the attack, considering the explosion happened in mid-air, so the only parts that had received damage were those areas that had received it earlier. Still hovering in the same spot he fired off his Kamehameha, and still holding his arm out while keeping his stance, was Logan Mangham. The battle has certainly done a number on him, as his clothes had several torns and marks on them, ranging from his shirt all the way down to his shoes, his knuckles were red, bruise and blood marks ran all over his body, and he had a massive blood trail coming down from his head.
The hybrid was barely maintaining his combined Super Form plus Kaio-Ken, and with the battle now over, the side-affects started to take place. As the red aura disappeared around him, the Mangham dropped his stance and arm slightly, almost like he had been hit in the back, and as the effect on his body from using the Kaio-Ken took its hold, the young man returned to his normal form and began plummeting towards the ground.
Luckily, a few metres before impact, Logan managed to regain control of himself, and instead of hitting the ground head first, just flipped onto his feet and slowly touched down on the ground, right before he collapsed onto his knees gasping for air. As he felt an incoming call on his com device, he slowly managed to lift his arm up and respond to it, and was delighted to hear the beautiful, but slightly distressed, voice of his girl Nicole.
Nicole:"Logan! Are you alright?! When the two of you began your beam clash, the cameras malfunctioned and we couldn't see what was happening! Now they're back online and you're nowhere in sight! Are you okay?!"
Logan:"Hehe…don't worry…I'm surviving…just…hehe…it's all over now…Kilutro's dead…and we're all still alive…but we're all pretty banged up…and I think I'm about to pass out…" he managed to get out before falling onto his back and taking in a few deep breathes.
Nicole:"Oh thank god! That's good to hear. I'm sending the others to come get you now!"
Logan:"Thanks babe…I'll see you soon…" he answered back right before the call ended, and he dropped his head as he began to pass out.
As Logan drifted into unconscious-ness, he spotted out of the corner of his eye, a cloaked and mysterious figure teleport a few metres in front of him, and began to slowly step towards the Mangham. Before the hybrid could question the figure and find out more about him, he finally passed out, but not before he began to hear the figure begin to talk to him it seemed.
The unknown stranger knelt down by the unconscious warrior upon reaching him, and after observing the condition he was in, the figure let out a slight chuckle.
Unknown:"You really are the warrior you're destined to be, aren't you Logan? Despite having such a huge difference in power, you managed to beat an almost god-like being, far beyond anything you were capable of handling, and you did it with such finesse. Of course, you had a little help, but you did most of the work, you always do when it comes to threats like these. It's in your nature, you don't want to risk the lives of your friends, in case there is a possibility of them getting hurt.
I could kill you here and now, get rid of you once and for all, and finally take my revenge for what you did to me! Even if you managed to wake up and try to fight back, you wouldn't stand a chance, for my power is a hundred times that of Kilutro's. I have all the reason to end your life, but I won't, not yet.
I may want you dead Logan, but if it's not fun, and doesn't hurt everyone you care about while also giving me the chance to watch you suffer, then what's the point in doing so? I shall let you live for now, so that I can plan something even worse to use against you in your defeat. Before I leave, I shall give you a gift. Just to show you how much of a 'nice person' I can be"
The stranger leaned over, and placed his right hand on Logan's left shoulder, before a small light appeared from his hand, and he removed his hand from the hybrids body. The light then took form where Logan's arm had been, and as it disappeared, Logan's arm had now returned to him, despite him not knowing it. With his deed now done, the figure stood up and began to walk away from the Mangham.
Unknown:"You can thank me later Logan. I saved you the trouble of having to use Chaos Heal on yourself, it's the least I can do after proving what kind of feats you're capable of. You may have won the battle, but not the war. Once I have put everything in motion, I'm going to crush and burn you into nothing for what you did to me! I'll be seeing you…" he remarked before he disappeared into nothing.
Even though he had been unconscious, the hybrid was fortunate enough to be able to hear everything the figure had said, especially that last part, which rung like a bell in his mind over and over again. Aindrea was right, someone did want him dead, and from the sounds of it, it was someone the Mangham knew, but how was that possible?
The voice sounded very familiar to him, almost the same voice he heard when he had transformed into his Dark Form, leading him to wonder if they were in fact the same person. If that was the case, then what did he mean by 'take my revenge for what you did to me' he wondered. The young man certainly didn't know the answer, but he was going to find out.
About an hour passed since he passed out, and as he slowly returned to consciousness, he was unsurprised to find himself still laying in Central City. A familiar noise soon made its way to his ears, almost like a plane engine, and moments later, the familiar sound and sight of the Tornado passed over him and touched down not too far away. However it was at that moment the hybrid noticed something different, something new, and as he turned over to his left, he was astonished to find his left arm had regrown and was fully healed!
How had it grown back, he questioned as he lifted it up and examined it in awe. No one had used Chaos Heal as far as he knew, so how did it grow back? Actually, the young man didn't care really, because he had his arm back and that's all that mattered. As he looked back to where he'd seen the Tornado land, he watched as the Freedom Fighters fanned out to his two comrades, who he'd conveniently landed near to, and watched as Sally and Rotor dealt with Sonic, Amy and Tails dealt with Xiro, and Bunnie and Antoine ran over to him.
Antoine:"Logan, your arm! It iz back!" he exclaimed as he and his wife brought the hybrid to his feet.
Bunnie:"Did ya use Chaos Heal already?" she asked as the three began slowly walking back to the Tornado.
Logan:"No I didn't. I don't even know how I got this back really, but I don't care!" he remarked with his usual smile.
Bunnie:"Hehe, maybe ya got a Guardian Angel?"
Antoine:"Come ma sherry, I do not think Logan, of all people, needz a Guardian Angel to take care of him. He can handle himself just fine!"
Logan:"Heh, you're right there Ant…" he spoke aloud before thinking to himself "(in his head) Whatever it was, it certainly wasn't an Angel…more like the devil…"
Elsewhere, across the planet on Angel Island, deep in one of its jungles, everything was quiet. Nothing was out of the ordinary, just a normal night for the floating island in the sky, but that was all about to change. Suddenly, the leaves of the trees all started to move towards a certain direction, almost like they were being sucked into some unknown force, but it was unclear what it was. Then, a strange portal appeared out of nowhere, and the leaves returned to normal.
After a few seconds of being open, two kids came flying out of the portal, before it disappeared as they touched down on the ground, but not before the slightest glimpse of a bright light was seen coming from the portal. The two kids consisted of one older and one younger. The older was around 15/16 from his height and body build, and the younger was around 10 because of the same factors, and the fact he had a tail, unlike his older counterpart.
The older one had purple fur, but black quills that were styled similar to Xiro and Shadow, along with black hair that almost merged in with his quills. He had black bangs that came down to his neck, along with yellow eyes that were quite bright. He wore grey trousers similar to what Xiro wore when he was younger, a grey shirt and black jacket that cut off around his waist and was zipped up. He also wore grey and black mountain boots, and had a black and grey holster strapped to his right hip, which held a familiar looking grey and black sword inside it. The most notable thing about this teenager, was he had a strange red mark in between his eyes that was shaped like an X.
The younger had white fur, quills and hair, the last two being very short and spiky but bared a resemblance to a certain Mangham, and his eyes also resembled that same Mangham, as they were a bright blue. He also wore a pair of grey trousers, but his were similar to what Logan had worn when he was younger, as they also had the black martial arts belt going around his hip. He also were a pair of familiar looking black and blue bracelets, black shoes with a white stripe going down the middle of them, along with a short black sleeved shirt that was strikingly similar to the one Vincent had worn in his childhood.
The older was on top of the younger, looking like he had been protecting him on the way through the portal so he wouldn't be harmed on his way through. Realising the portal had now vanished, the older stood up and took a look around to check everything was okay, before he helped his younger companion to his feet.
Older:"Are you alright cousin?"
Younger:"Yeah, I'm fine, I think we got through okay!"
Older:"I just wish we weren't the only ones who got out…"
Younger:"I know…but at least we're where we're supposed to be in the time space continuum…otherwise it wouldn't have mattered if we were the only ones to make it through"
Older:"Indeed…" he answered back, before taking out a small but very high tech and futuristic looking handheld device from his right pocket "…we're defiantly in the right dimension. This is the real Mobius prime, not like the one we were in"
Younger:"I still don't understand the whole different Timelines thing"
Older:"Me neither…" he answered as he put the device away "…apparently it happened because of things happening in the other Timelines and Universes that weren't supposed to happen, and because of those events taking place, we were born in the wrong timeline. This created two similar, but very different timelines that are both meant to happen, but can't at the same time"
Younger:"Oh it still hurts my head when we think about it…I heard Tails say that some of those changes will have affected this Timeline as well, like everyone being a bit younger or older"
Older:"Guess we'll just have to find out and see how they react…"
Younger:"Lets hope positively!"
Older:"Yep. Now come cousin, it's time to find our fathers!"
