Based on recent events, I guess the T rating really has a purpose now.

Fire X Saga: Chapter 36 - Preparation for the Demon's Arrival, Part 2
Early the next morning, Crystal, Ruby and Future Ruby were in Crystal's room. Future Ruby was sitting on Crystal's bed while Crystal and Ruby were sitting on the floor, looking at a maths problem.
Crystal pointed at a right angle on the paper. "If the top angle is 7cm, and the angle to the left is 5cm, find X."
Ruby picked up a pen and circled 'X' on the paper. "There it is."
Future Ruby began to laugh while Crystal put her palm to her forehead.
Later, Sonny and Shade were in the training room, firing special attacks at each other. Future Ruby and Future Max were in another part of the room, further away.
"Guess what, Shade? I learned a new skill." Sonny said.
"So what is it?" Shade asked.
"The light speed attack, or just light speed mode in general."
"I see, like the one from the adventure games. I've got a skill as well, but I need something called chaos crystals to really use it."
"Right, right."
Max looked over at the two of them. "So do you think you guys are ready?"
"Of course I am, I'm the world's fastest hedgehog!" Sonny exclaimed.
"That's only because no-one bothers to take that title away from you." Shade replied.
"Is that so? Care to race me then?"
"You're on."
Sonny and Shade quickly ran out the room while Future Ruby and Future Max shrugged, and then continued.
At Smal High, it was break time and Amber and Mads were sitting on a bench on the field.
"You got everything ready for that party?" Mads asked.
"Yep, and DJ is of course, the DJ."
"Too bad it can't last long, considering that demon is coming later tonight."
"No worries, after we beat him then there's still all night to continue."
"Yeah, but I get bored after a few hours so I won't have all night."
Kevin walked up to the bench moments later. "Hey guys."
"Hey Kevin, take a seat." Mads said as he moved up.
"Who are you again?" He asked as he sat down.
"The name's Mads."
"What kinda name is Mads?"
"It's Danish..."
"So Kevin, you coming to my party?" Amber asked.
"I don't know yet, I'll be spending some time with Crystal after school again."
"Personal space is your friend." Amber replied while Mads nodded.
"Well Crystal isn't like some of the other girls I know, she's different somehow."
"Heh, you have no idea." Amber grinned.
Mads coughed. "Hey Amber, remember that time you got to class late and came up with that lame excuse?"
"Yeah, that was this morning. Insert flashback here."
It showed everyone else in the class earlier that morning. Melissa was looking at her watch.
"I bet you 10 bucks Amber is gonna be late." Polly said to Melissa.
"Deal, there's still a few minutes left."
Soon, Amber ran into the classroom ten seconds after the bell went. "Hi sir, sorry I'm late, on the way here I ran into someone who needed my help, so I beat up some guys and that person gave me some money for being a helpful citizen." Amber said rather quickly.
"And this happened on that Land of Leisure game, right?"
"You play it too? What level are you?"
"Right now I'm only level 44, it's pretty good."
"Tru dat." Amber said as she walked off and sat down.
Melissa walked up to her. "I dislike you even more for making me lose 10 bucks." She then walked off.
When the flashback ended, Kevin said, "Good stuff." as all three of them slowly nodded for no reason.
"While we still have time, how do you two know each other?" Mads asked.
Amber cleared her throat. "Kevin doesn't really like explaining this but, back last year he was kinda picked on by a group of older boys. I beat them up, flawlessly may I add, and they didn't come back. I told him that if the time ever came, he'd owe me a favour. That favour was introducing him to Crystal. Plus it was Kyle's idea."
Kevin shrugged. "Well that doesn't seem like much of a favour, what are you getting out of this?"
"The satisfaction of seeing you and Crystal together since you two have a lot in common. Some people say I'm evil or really cruel, and maybe I am, but not 24/7."
"That's surprisingly nice."
"Yeah, I know, right?"
"So how did you and Mads become friends then?"
"I'll tell this one." Mads quickly said. "Well, around the beginning of last year I just sat at the same table as Amber at lunch one day. She asked if I like pie, I said yeah. I asked if she likes anime, she said sure. Then I said it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship, and it was."
The area was silent for a few moments. "Seriously?" Kevin asked.
"I'm totally serial." Mads replied.
Back at the HQ, Rush was fixing something on the control panel in the training room. Sonny and Shade walked in moments later rubbing their heads. Future Ruby and Future Max walked into the area and saw the two hedgehogs there.
"You guys back already?" Max said, seeming shocked. "So who won?"
"No-one." Shade replied. "We ran into a truck so we came back."
"Ouch."
"You guys better be ready for tonight." Rush said. "And tell Mads I need to see him for an upgrade."
"K." Sonny replied.
Later at Amber's house, Amber had put up a bunch of stuff in the living room. DJ was there sitting up a DJ booth in the living room. Ryan walked in moments later. "Hey DJ, still DJ-ing, huh?"
"Yeah, I got the mad skills."
"Have fun at your party, Amber, and make sure no-one divides by zero." Ryan said as he walked off.
"Bye Ryan, I'll make sure to." Amber responded.
Later at 6 PM, many people from Smal High arrived at Amber's house where she greeted them as they entered. Jason and Jared carried in a keg of beer while Jade carried in a disco ball.
Meanwhile, Mads met with Rush at the HQ with his suit.
"Hi Mads." Rush greeted him. "I can now upgrade your suit to use an option which increases offence and defence by a massive amount, known as Hyper mode or Max power mode, your choice."
"Great, let's get to it then." Mads replied.
It was now night time outside. Sonny and Shade were running through the streets and ran past Crystal and Kevin holding hands on the way to Amber's house.
"The night sky is beautiful." Kevin said. "Almost as beautiful as you." He continued as he turned to Crystal.
"I guess." Crystal said with a smile. "We should get going to Amber's house."
They walked off in the same direction Sonny and Shade took.
At Amber's party, Amber and Max were standing in the hallway.
"Ok Max, you know the drill." Amber said as she nodded.
"Right." Max said before entering the living room.
DJ was playing tunes at the DJ stand, the disco ball was up and people were dancing, sitting down and drinking or watching the TV. Max walked up to a few girls as he walked in. "Hey ladies, how you doing?"
Amber walked in and stood with her back to one of the girls with her hand out. "I can move you for five bucks."
One girl handed her 5 bucks then Amber moved her to an area on the right. Mike tried to call over to DJ to play a song but got a boot to the head by Jade while Polly ran around and tackled Jared.
Sonny and Shade arrived shortly after and spent most of the time sitting down drinking chaos soda. Shade walked over to DJ after a bit.
"Isn't this place banging?" DJ asked as Shade walked over.
"It'll make you rob somebody."
"Grab somebody." DJ quickly replied.
"Stomp somebody."
"Slap somebody."
"It'll make you wanna step to a bar and slip Bacardi."
"Why not? Who gives a damn, we're at the party."
Sonny walked over. "To each and every dude, what's happening?"
Shade and DJ both shrugged. Crystal, Kevin and Mads arrived a bit later. A bunch of girls were sitting on a couch and moved as Mads sat on the couch.
"Hey guys." Amber said as Crystal and Kevin arrived. "So where are the future siblings anyway?"
"Well I think Ruby went somewhere with Max, she's been pretty down lately."
"Can you blame her?"
"I guess I can't, where is the younger Ruby anyway, is she here?"
"Yep." Amber said as she nodded. "Which reminds me..." Amber looked over at DJ and nodded; he nodded back and then put on Jeh Jeh Rocket.
As it came on, Ruby walked to the centre of the room as people moved out the way. Max jumped into the centre and put a dance mat on the floor then quickly moved out the way.
Ruby began tap dancing seven seconds into the beat then started moving from side to several moments later as some girls yelled "Jeh Jeh!" and various sounds in the background. Ruby eventually started back flipping, someone soon threw a basketball into the area, and Ruby back flipped onto it and began spinning.
"Wow, she's good." Amber said as she raised an eyebrow.
"A little too good." Crystal replied.
They both looked back to see Ruby spinning on the basketball while juggling 4 cans of chaos soda. Some girls were shouting "Jeh Jeh!" and many different noises in the background.
"You never told me your sister had the mad skills, I now like her even more." Amber said.
"Yeah, great." Crystal said sarcastically.
Half an hour later, some people had left the party including Sonny, Shade, Crystal, Mads and Kevin. Crystal and Kevin were sitting in the same park area where Sonny was hit by the beam of light. Kevin looked up into the night sky and saw a full moon.
"Hey, look, the moon is out tonight."
Crystal looked up at the moon and her eyes began to glow slightly purple. She then closed her eyes and shook her head.
"My dad doesn't really approve of me being in a relationship." Crystal said.
"I understand. Some people also think we need personal space."
"I don't care what other people think as long as I'm with you." Crystal said as she looked into his eyes.
"Insert romantic line here." Crystal and Kevin slowly leaned in to kiss each other, Kevin then noticed something very high up in the sky. "Wow, look up there, it looks like a meteor."
"A meteor?" Crystal turned around and saw the meteor coming towards the city and then sighed. "Just my luck. I'll be back in a sec." Crystal got up and moved back a bit. She then hit him in the back of his head and knocked him out. She picked him up and put him over her shoulder. "Can't risk you getting hurt." She said before walking in the opposite direction.
In the city, many people saw the meteor up in the sky and were running away from the city. SA2 was driving a motorbike through the area and ran over several people as he drove by. Sonny and Shade were standing in a street wearing their team outfits when Rush contacted them. He told them to meet him in a park area then disconnected the link. Sonny and Shade looked at each other with a serious expression on their faces.
"This is where the real battle begins." Sonny said.
"Let's do this, Sonny." Shade said as he looked at him.
Sonny looked at Shade and they both nodded then ran along the streets.
At Amber's party, Rush also contacted her about the meteor, she then took out her phone which was purple and had an image of Blaze the Cat on it and called Ryan. "Hi Ryan, I'm gonna have to go out for a while, could you get down here as soon as you can and supervise the place or something?"
"Sure, I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Great, if I somehow don't come back alive, I just wanna say I love you."
"…I love you too."
Amber hung up and ran over to Max. "Keep an eye on things until Ryan gets here."
"Can do."
Outside, the meteor was quickly approaching the city while everyone was running away. Mike was walking down a street eating a hotdog as it came towards the city. The meteor landed on him and slid along the ground, knocking many cars out the way before it came to a halt.
In the park area, Crystal arrived to see Sonny, Shade, Amber, Mads, Rush, Zoom, Jawo', Jessica and Kyle all there without their helmets. Rush was wearing the same black leather outfit as the others. They all got into a circle as Crystal arrived.
"Isn't anyone gonna wear their helmets?" Crystal asked.
Shade shrugged. "There's no point, as soon as you wear the suits nobody notices your face." Everyone then looked at Rush.
Rush cleared his throat as the Sonic Adventure 2 Story Select theme started playing. "Alright everyone, I think you all know it's time and most of you probably saw the meteor. Ruby and Max said they'd be making their own way there so don't worry about them. Some green hooded kid was crushed when the meteor landed but I doubt anyone cares about him. Everyone here is ready for this, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"Good, now we don't know if we can win, regardless of the training but we gotta try anyway. I received a message from Raizor saying he was gonna pull an Eggman and help us good guys defeat a villain more powerful than himself so he'll be helping us shortly. Others may turn up unexpectedly as we'll need all the help we can get if this guy did destroy the world in another timeline.
If we don't win, I just want everyone to know it was great being able to work with you all. There won't be any super power of teamwork crap, we go out there to win, and to save the future, now let's go kick some demon ass!" Rush said before running ahead.
Everyone else beside Crystal and Jessica ran on ahead. Crystal and Jessica both nodded at each other and then ran to catch up with the others.
