Adventure Through the Unknown
Chapter 34 : Unwelcome Situation
- ??? -
A dark-colored portal appeared out of nowhere before two female Mobians— one fox and one mongoose— fell from it, landing on the hard ground on their faces.
"Agh!" the female mongoose cried out as she landed hard to the ground on her stomach, while the portal that had throw them out slowly disappears...
The female mongoose was none other than Mobius-Oracle City's biggest idol— Mina Mongoose, while the female fox thrown with her is Fiona Fox.
"Geez... That was painful!" Mina exclaimed, huffing aloud as she pushed herself to her feet, rubbing her skirt down for dust. "This is just unbelievable... I went on action to save you, but look at me, Fiona! I'm not succeed... It's all my fault!" Pause. "But wait! If I think 'bout it again... It was you the one who started it, Fiona! So it was your— AAGGH!" The mongoose put her hands to her head in frustration once she said that, turning her back away from the quietly-wincing fox.
"I-... I'm sorry, Mina." Fiona slowly stood up from the ground, sighing. "I was... driven by my desire of knowing other countries here in planet Mobius..." she sighs aloud. "... I'm really sorry, Mina."
"Errr... Ya know, Fiona? Never mind of what I said earlier. It's just that... I was so frustrated..." Mina told the fox, both her hands slip off her head, though one stops right on her face. The mongoose then turned her body to Fiona, and was about to say something when...
"Oh... my... gosh." Mina uttered out of nowhere, her body's next movement shows that she was in total shock right now— her green eyes grew as wide as a saucer, her mouth agape, and her body trembles a bit.
Confused at Mina's face that shows fear, Fiona turned to where the mongoose is facing to, and couldn't help but let a gasp of surprise escaped her mouth once she saw... a horrible view before their eyes.
They're now in a middle of a 4-way intersection of a... wrecked city. Buildings are all destroyed, several shards of broken glass were strewn about the ground, and rubbles are scattered everywhere— even in the road both female Mobians currently stood on. There are almost no sign of life in the city, and the dark sky only made the surroundings eerier, which makes both Mobians cringed.
The city's electricity seems to still worked, though— as both female Mobians could see some of the street lamps still shone like there is no tomorrow.
"F-... Fiona?" Mina inched closed to the red fox, looking around the wrecked city in fear. "W-... Where are we? Are we even still in Mobius...?"
"I don't... know." Fiona answered the mongoose's question, nervous, feeling her heart bumped heavily against her chest. "I had no idea about this place... I hate to say this, but maybe we're outside of Mobius right now, Mina."
The green-eyed mongoose gasped aloud at this. "Y-You're kidding!"
"H-Hey, chill down! I had no idea if what I say just now was true, so don't lose hope yet, Mina!" At this, the red fox turned around to face Mina, placing two comforting hands atop the mongoose's shoulders.
"I... I know that. It's just..." the mongoose shook her head, looking up so that her green eyes could meet Fiona's blue ones. "I... I'm sca—!"
CLANG!
Both Fiona and Mina tensed upon hearing the loud, metal voice, coming from all around them. Both turned their head... slooowwwly to the side...
...and quickly regrets it once they knew that a group of bizarre, varied-designed robots— having an average height of young nor old Mobians— has surrounded them, pointing what it looked like a laser gun to them. There are also another group of robots bigger in size behind the Mobian-height robots— a group of Pterodactyl-shaped bots— hovering above each heads of the Mobian-height robots.
Mina couldn't help but shrieks and clung to Fiona for her dear life once she saw the huge group of robots, while the red fox was grinding her teeth together like an angry person— even when fear has bubbled within her.
"Please say out the 'vow'. Rebel, and you'll face 'cold' and 'blackness'." one of the Mobian-height robots said, voice sounds stern and deadly.
"The... 'vow'?" Fiona arched an eyebrow up. "W-... What are you talking about?"
"W-We don't have any idea about this 'vow' thing, nor what you guys want!" Mina added fearfully, closing her eyes shut and turned her head away.
Upon hearing this, the robot who previously talked held its free hand to the side, a small group of red-colored nanites were summoned out of nowhere, circling around the robot's hand before a laser gun was made into the bot's grasp, which surprises Fiona and Mina. The action done by the bot was followed by other Mobian-height robots, while the Pterodactyl-shaped ones was charging up energy from its mouth.
Seeing this, Mina shrieks once again, while Fiona couldn't believe that her life was about to end fast as she held the terrified mongoose into her arms...
But before any of the robots could launch the attack, suddenly, a strange gust of green wind surrounded both the female Mobians and the robots around, which startles Fiona and Mina.
"W-Wha—" Before Fiona could finish her sentences, all of the sudden, some robots exploded for reason unknown, which again, startling both her and Mina. Looking around, they soon saw the cause of the green wind, who now stood right in front of them...
It was a Mobian— a male. He was standing sideways at the moment, making both Fiona and Mina got a clear look of how the male Mobian looked like.
The male Mobian was a hedgehog who has green fur, peach skin, and blue eyes. He wears a black leather jacket with flame designs on the arms, red sunglasses, and a pair of shoes colored green, gold, and black. Pointed fangs are shown on his grin, and there are two large scars on his chest.
"Well, well! Looks like 'old man' decided to attack the newcomers!" the green hedgehog said aloud, one hand placed on his hip while the other adjusting his red sunglasses, its black lenses blocked his blue eyes out of the view. "Don't ya know manners, 'old man'? You're not even here to greet 'em! Ya sure are a shy one, huh?" The sarcasm in his voice was as clear as glass.
As all robots pointed their weapons to the male hedgehog, he just chuckled. "Aww, using robots again, are we? Well, then would ya allow me to teach 'em a lesson or two, 'old man'?"
The robots just keep pointing their weapons to the green hedgehog, not responding his statement, which only made his grin wider. "Heh, so that's how it is... Well, bring it on! Can't nobody take down Scourge the Hedgehog!"
With those words, the green hedgehog— named Scourge— leaped up into the air before he curled up his body, spinning for a good second or two in midair before he bolted forward to one of the Pterodactyl-shaped bots, destroying its left wing.
"Guys! Bring the newcomers to a safer area!" Scourge exclaimed to no one, as he do a back-flip in the air before he glanced down to the previous Pterodactyl-shaped bot he hit. In a swift, the green hedgehog brought his left leg up before he brought it down hard to the said robot, destroying its right wing, making the bot let out a loud cry of agony before Scourge do a front flip in the air and stomped the bot very HARD on its back with his right leg, bringing the Pterodactyl-shaped bot to the ground as it exploded to nothing but shreds.
Fiona and Mina are awed by the green hedgehog's action, but it didn't last long when they heard a new voice— now belonged to a female.
"Roger that, Captain!" said the female voice, before both Fiona and Mina felt an arm wrapped around their waist before they were brought away from their previous spot, far enough from where the robots and the hedgehog named Scourge currently at.
"You both okay?" the same female voice asked once Fiona and Mina are brought to the ground. The fox and the mongoose quickly turned around so they'll get a clearer look of the owner of the unfamiliar female voice they just heard.
The owner of the voice was a female Mobian. It's hard to decide what species she is— she looks like a weasel, but at the same time, she also looks like a wolf. Also, she's a unique one— having only four fingers on each hands instead of the usual five.
The four-fingered female Mobian has blue eyes, dark gray nose, fangs, long bent tail, and purple fur— along with white fur from her chest above to belly below, and her muzzle. Her hair— which is long and has the same color of her purple fur— was tied to a low, unique-styled ponytail.
She wears a belly top colored as same as her blue eyes, brown fedora, brown gloves with metal plates, brown belt with a holster, and unique-designed boots colored brown and white.
"No reply? Well, I'll take your silence as a 'yes' then." the female Mobian said to both the fox and the mongoose, turning her back on them before she pulled out an antiquated-looking gun from her belt's holster. "This little 'buddy' of mine here is used to be a popgun, but now, it's redesigned to fire up laser shot to fight these... metal-made troublemakers." Her voice shows that she seems to hold the urge to say the robots are more than troublemakers.
She then turned her head to Fiona and Mina, giving them a reassure smile. "The name's Nicolette the Weasel, by the way, but you can call me Nic for short. Oh, and I'm a hybird of a weasel and a wolf— Tellin' that just in case you both confused. Anyway, stay here 'till we're done!"
With those words, the female wolf-weasel hybrid— nicknamed Nic— held her antiquated-looking gun with both her hands before she rushed off her spot, joining the battle to fight the robots.
"F-... Fiona?" Mina finally spoke after a long silence, as Fiona turned her attention from the battle to the mongoose. "W-... Where are we really?"
Fiona shook her head to the mongoose. "I... I had no idea, Mina... Though I wish I—" The fox was cut off by a new voice, coming from their backs.
"This place is used to be a peaceful kingdom... At least until that so-called 'doctor' attacks and took over the kingdom."
Fiona and Mina gasped in surprise once they heard the voice, and quickly turned around to see who was the owner of the voice.
The owner of the voice they just heard was a male Mobian, standing right before Fiona and Mina with his arms crossed. By his appearance, his species is obviously the same as Mina— a mongoose, though from his appearance also, he seems more serious and mature than Mina.
He has yellow fur, short black hair, and blue eyes. He wears a red-tinted round glasses, a black shirt with yellow angry-frowning 'smiley face' under a short-sleeved jacket colored red, studded wristbands, baggy blue jeans with a hole at the right knee, and a pair of shoes colored dark red. His left ear had two piercings of silver studs, and he seems to wear a belt— maybe hidden by his black shirt— as both Fiona and Mina could see a piece of a detachable-looking, belt-like thing colored red (and a bit yellow in the middle of the red belt-like thing) hanging loosely on the right side of his leg.
"So let me guess... You both new here?" the male mongoose asked, replied by a nod from Fiona and Mina. "I see... No wonder you both had no idea about the 'vow'..."
The male mongoose sighs. "... It seems like I haven't introduced myself, so allow me. My name is Ash Mongoose, or Ash for short."
Fiona and Mina sighs in relief, thanking their luck that it wasn't an enemy that stood behind them.
"Alright, so... Ash, right? I know it's impolite for us to not introducing ourselves back to you, but I need to ask you this..." Mina looked up to the dark sky, her hands extended to her side. "J-... Just what happened here? Are we even still in Mobius?"
Ash sighs at the question. "You're still in Mobius, alright? As for what happened here..." he began, but stopped in the middle, much to Fiona and Mina's confusion. But soon, their confusion changed to shock when Ash suddenly leaped and push Fiona and Mina, making them all fell to the ground.
"Agh! W-What are you—!" Mina began, but was abruptly interrupted when a huge laser beam collides to where the group had been just a moment before. The sight totally shocked Fiona and Mina, while Ash let out a sigh of relief escaped his mouth.
"Tch... It almost got us. Good thing we avoided it." Ash push himself off the ground, rubbing his clothes down for dust. "Anyway, follow me. I can take you both to a safer place."
"W-Wait! How about them?" Fiona turned her gaze to where the battle occurs, her eyes focused to the fast and agile Scourge and the sharpshooter Nic, who were still fighting the robots.
"Don't worry. They will be alright." Ash assured the worried fox. "Their fighting abilities are above great, not like mine here who lacks on it that I can't help them... D-Don't feel sorry to me for that! Just follow me!"
With that, Ash quickly fled to a haste away from the spot. Mina shrieks at the sight, shouting to the male mongoose to wait for her as she followed him from behind.
Fiona was about to tag along when all of the sudden, two Pterodactyl-shaped bots flew down and blocked her path, which really shocks her that she frozen in spot, her blue eyes were wide as saucers.
Am I... going to die? the blue-eyed fox thought in slight dread, her heart bumped hard against her chest as the Pterodactyl-shaped bots charging up energy on its mouth. The red fox then closed her eyes shut, waiting for any pain to coursed through her body.
When the Pterodactyl-shaped bots released the full-charged laser beam from its mouth, however, Fiona felt a pair of arms scooped her up off the ground before she felt like flying— maybe the one who held her now was leaping up high in the air?
Slowly, she opened her eyes— filled with both curiosity and dread. But shock quickly overcome her two previous emotions when she realize that she was brought bridal style in the arms of Scourge— the previous green hedgehog who were fighting the bots with the female wolf-weasel hybrid Nic.
"Frozen in spot 'cause dread completely filled your heart? Heh, I expected that coming from a newcomer like you." Scourge commented, looking to Fiona right in the eye as he smirks. "Anyway, I welcome you to Mobius-Moebius City— one of many kingdoms in Mobius said to be beautiful. But as you can see now, things have changed... I'll tell you the complete story later."
A weird feeling sneak into Fiona's chest as the red fox stared up to the hedgehog's blue eyes that seems cocky, yet calming at the moment. What's with this hard, uneasy feeling in her chest?
The fox's thoughts are interrupted when she heard Scourge's voice once again.
"Nic, retreat for now! We have newcomers who should we take care of and explained about the situation here!" the green hedgehog exclaimed, looking to his back over his shoulder. "Leave the bots for now! Let's go back to the hideout!"
Nic— who just shot and destroy the tenth bot— groaned in protest at this. "Gee, Scourge. The fun has just begun, and yet, we're retreating? That's so unusual of you to leave these robots be!"
She then sighs. "Ah, well. Guess we need to take care of the newcomers first before these guys... Alright, let's go, Captain!"
With that, the female wolf-weasel hybrid jumped back a few feet from the group of bots before she and Scourge— with Fiona still in his arms— leaped from short rubbles to high buildings, retreating from the battle for now...

Meanwhile, outside the planet Mobius...
"Ugh! You guys...! I told you... this is not... the right time for you... to show up!"
In the wide space outside the planet Mobius, a black hedgehog with fangs wearing a brown robe and long golden-yellow scarf was seen, floating in midair. Right in front of him are three comets.
"Lulin, Encke, Halley! You three are... are..." the hedgehog bit his lip, the anger and annoyance in him are so big that he couldn't anymore hold the urge to speak sharply to the mentioned comets short after, "You three are... so damn annoying! This is like... the thirtieth time... I found you three out of orbit! I might be your protector, but don't... piss me off that I need to... guide you three back to your orbits!"
Though the fanged-hedgehog sounds so serious just now, his body tell another story— his face was deathly pale, and at the moment, he grimaced in pain while clutching his chest with his right hand. His left hand was holding his head, clutching it hard.
"U-Ugh... J-Just... Just go back to your orbits, you three!" With those words, the black hedgehog move his right hand from his chest as he swung it around, creating waves of aura colored dark purple that quickly covered the three comets the hedgehog mentioned before. As soon as the auras done in covering the comets, it teleports the comets from the hedgehog's sight— probably sending the comets back to its orbit.
Once the comets were completely out of sight, the black hedgehog suddenly felt a rush of stinging pain coursed through his head, making him wince as he held his head harder with his left hand.
"D-... Darn..." The hedgehog's right hand is back to his chest, his red eyes almost looked vacant. "I... n-never use this much power... in my entire life. W-Who would've thought... it'll be this painful... o-only by... forcing myself to use my strength... e-even though I'm already feel like... I would faint?"
More waves of pain are flowing through the hedgehog's head, making him winced hard as he closed his eyes shut. "Urgh... F-For Mobius' sake... P-Please, no more comets that out of its—" the fanged-hedgehog began, but was cut off by a new, echoing voice, which was heard like it belonged to a male.
"Ahh... So you're here, Black Doom. Or should I say, Mobius' Demigod of Comets?"
The black fanged-hedgehog— Black Doom— is shocked by the voice that his red eyes shot opened as a gasp escaped his mouth. He swiftly turned around, panting heavily, still fatigue of using his power too much.
Not long after Black Doom do so, a black portal was formed in midair, a few meters from where the black hedgehog currently at. Stepping out from the portal was a figure in a black cloak, who soon floating in midair as the portal behind the figure disappears.
Looking from the figure's height, it is assumed that the figure was a Mobian.
Black Doom watched the cloaked-figure cautiously, wincing quietly. "W-... Who are you?"
The black-cloaked figure chuckled at the question, almost evilly. "My, my... Hiding the tremendous pain that right now coursed through your body, I presume?" he chortled, a smirk was visible from his hidden face. "Black Doom, Black Doom... You're dense if you think I could be fooled by such act."
Though surprised by the exact true statement, Black Doom is not letting the mysterious figure see him pained, so he kept hiding the pain that grow even bigger within him while giving the cloaked-figure a deathly glare that he manage to make out of his face. "Just tell me... who you really are..." his grip on his chest are tightened. "H-How did you... get in here... a-anyway?"
The cloaked-figure seems amused by Black Doom's stubbornness. "You don't need to know how did I get here. Also, I'm surprised that you choose to hide your pain from me, demigod Black Doom. But..."
The last part of the statement— the part where the cloaked-figure hardened his voice— quickly prompted Black Doom to getting into his own battle stance, ignoring the pain that grew even bigger within him.
Darn it... Black Doom gritted his teeth. My power right now isn't enough for me to transform to my demigod form... Guess I need to finish off this damn guy before I'm really run out of power.
"Black Doom..." the cloaked-Mobian muttered, his voice is now deep and darker, echoing through the wide space as black auras formed out of nowhere as it surrounds him. "Hiding everything for yourself... is never considered as a good thing to do."
Two demonic-looking wings made out of aura colored dark purple was formed behind the cloaked-figure, floating just behind his back.
"You've got to share your feelings, Black Doom... or else, they'll eat your heart out one day..."
Black Doom gasped at the statement, surprised that the mysterious figure could say such thing to him. But being quite a stubborn guy, he instead said, "S-Shut up! You don't know a thing about me!" the demigod winced as he felt more pain coursed through him, but he was able to keep the glare on his face. "L-Look, what I want right now is a good rest, but then you came out of nowhere to disturb me! Don't ever hope I accept any of your damn apologies, you freak!"
The black cloaked-figure is once again amused by the demigod's stubbornness. "Interesting... Such foolishness, if I should say. So... you choose to fight me back even with your condition right now, demigod Black Doom?" the cloaked-Mobian muttered, chuckling evilly as he spread his aura-made wings a bit. "But I'm a good person who give chances, so very well. Let's see if you can entertain me, demigod Black Doom. Besides, I believe this fight with you would be a good warm up for me before I could do my other plans..."
The cloaked-Mobian and Black Doom then stared to one another, both looking determinate to fight. "Now then," the black-cloaked figure began, arms extended to the side as his aura-made wings spread further. "...let's BATTLE!"
(Dun dun duuuun!) Aaaaaaaaaand that's Chapter 34, everyone! :D ..Sorry for the LONG wait, once again... ^^''
