Everything fell silent for a few moments, neither side making a move in anticipation of one of them lashing out and attacking. The tyrant simply stood in shock at the sight of his brothers murder stood before him, though decided he had to retain a cool and professional look as not to lose face, and so shifted his expression of slight gob smacked-ness, and changed it to a slight confident smirk.
Felrikan:"So you're the warrior who murdered my little brother? I must say, with a power level like that, I'm unsure of how you were able to pull it off! Did he give you pity and only stay in his 3rd Restricted Form? If that was the case, then you using the Super Emeralds was completely unnecessary!"
Logan:"Actually he transformed all the way to his True Final Form, and my power from the Super Emeralds made me stronger than him"
Felrikan:"THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! There's no way you could have stood up to him in that Form, even with the Emeralds!"
Logan:"Well I did, and it wasn't too hard either. As much as I hate to say it, I'm glad I ended his life. Kelriza was nothing but a heartless, psychopathic killing machine, who cared about nothing but himself and securing his place as ruler of an empire built off the suffering and injustice caused to innocent lives. While the Universe is a slightly better place without him, it won't be able to rebuild itself and have peace until I end your life, destroying the Demonks grip on the Universe in the process!"
Felrikan:"If you truly believe you are capable of such a feat, then by all means, come at me with everything you've got! I require an actual challenge after dealing with these and so many other insects all my life!"
Logan:"Really? You want me to come at you straight away with everything I have?"
Felrikan:"Must I repeat myself?"
Logan:"Nah, but I gotta warn ya: If you don't come at me with everything you've got from the start as well…you'll die"
Just then, a bright blue aura exploded around the hybrid as he began to yell at the top of his voice, channeling his energy into increasing his power and transforming to the next stage. Before long, the Mangham's hair had started to stick up and spike slightly from some unknown power, and his blue aura had changed to a golden one. Then, in an instant, a small golden light burs from the young man's body, consuming him and almost blinding every else with its light, before it cleared away seconds later, and revealed the hybrid warriors Super Form.
There were some slight changes to his Form this time round, namely that the tips of all his quills and bangs had remained their white color, and instead of the markings on his body being black, they were now white. Not only that, but Logan's eyes were also a brighter green than usual, no doubt an effect from the Hyper Emeralds, or at least that's what he assumed to be the case.
"There you have it: my full power, just like you wanted! I know it's a little hard to take in, I was pretty shocked myself when I found out how strong I'd grown, but I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle, right Felrikan?" he questioned in his familiar cocky manner, though with a hint of sarcasm in his voice as he asked the question, something the group were not used to hearing in the hybrid.
The emperor didn't respond, as he was trying his best to retain a calm and serious demeanor, despite being completely shocked and blown away by the Mangham's power on the inside. The young man picked up on this factor, and was quick to act upon it.
"What's the matter Felrikan? Scared?" he asked, though it seemed that last word was what triggered the Demonk.
Felrikan:"SILENCE!" he roared before his aura exploded around him once more.
As the alien continued to channel his aura around him, he threw his right hand up and extended his index finger out so that he was pointing at Logan, and after charging some energy into his finger, he fired off a small but powerful purple energy beam that began homing in on the Mangham energy. Despite the energy attacks incredible speed, the hybrid easily smacked the energy attack away with his right hand, his movements even faster than the energy beam itself.
Even though he was more than shocked by this mere Mobian having the ability to deflect his attacks away, Felrikan was angrier at the fact it had happened, and in response, began firing off multiple energy beams towards the hybrid. Unfortunately for the tyrant, Logan was able to deflect all of these attacks as well, putting in the littlest effort with each and every one. Eventually the tyrant realized he wasn't getting anywhere with this strategy, and so ceased his attacks before lowering his arms and standing tall.
Logan:"Are you done flailing around like a kid, or can we actually fight?"
The Demonk let out a slight growl before he summoned some of his energy and made a charge for the Mangham, slowly raising his right fist ready to attack en-route. Upon reaching his opponent, the tyrant threw his fist out at incredible speeds and attempted to smack his fist down upon the hybrid, however in a move that looked almost invisible to everyone present, the young man stopped the aliens attack with a left open palm block, completely stopping the emperor in place and leaving both him and the Freedom Fighters in shock.
With his opponent perfectly vulnerable before him, the hybrid warrior raised his own right fist, before he brought it down across Felrikans face with incredible speed and power, launching the alien flying across the landscape. The tyrant travelled almost a mile before finally touching down with the ground, and was unable to stop his body from being dragged across the floor for a good few more meters afterwards, leaving a slight trail on the ground in the distance form where he had been dragged.
Xanaks:"…holy shit…"
Sonic:"That move was so fast…I only just managed to see it…!"
As the emperor slowly managed to get back to his feet, he was greeted with the sight of Logan teleporting from where he had once stood, and reappearing just a few metres from the Demonk himself. As Felrikan finally stood up straight, he glared at the young man whilst using his left hand to assist him in cracking his neck.
Felrikan:"Impressive Mobian, I'll give you that. Your power is incredible, but mine is still greater! I swear on my family's name, that I will destroy you for the injustice you have brought me, and show the Universe why the Demonks are the most powerful beings in the Universe!"
Logan:"You'll try, but you'll fail. I swear on my family's name that I will defeat you in the name of the Universe, and free it from your empires iron grip!"
Felrikan:"If you truly think yourself capable of such a feat, THEN WITNESS MY ULTIMATE POWER!"
The alien tightened his fists and channeled his energy to its maximum potential, and it wasn't long before small cracks began to appear all over his body, similar to some of Kelriza's transformations, except there was white energy seeping out of Felrikans cracks, instead of purple. Before long, his entire body was covered in these cracks, and then, in an instant, the cracks broke off around him like an outer shell, and a massive white light was released from his body, transforming him beyond his normal form.
As the light cleared away, the tyrants new Form was revealed, and it was nothing short of terrifying. The Demonk had grown at an exponential rate, now standing at 7'2, whereas before he was only around 6'2. Not only that, but his entire body had grown more muscular and defined, even greater than any Olympic athlete could achieve, and though his body did not border on a ridiculous amount of muscle, it was still incredible.
While the emperor's feet had remained the same color, they had grown out into the monstrous dragon-like look that Kelriza also had in a few of his forms. Whilst the white rings around his legs had remained the same, a small patch around his outer thighs had turned white, forming that curved purple pattern that Kelriza also had on his True Final Form. Aside from his fingers, which had remained purple, the alien's hands had transformed into a white armor-ish look that was accompanied by a small purple line down the middle of his hand.
Stretching from the purple rings around the Demonks wrists, was a purple armor like spike, very similar in style to the marking received on Kelriza's 2nd Restricted Form, and while this one also stretched up to his elbows, they actually stuck off from his arm like a piece of armor. Around both the tyrants biceps and shoulders, which were now white due to most of his body turning that color, was a thick purple line, the latter of the two stretching from the purple marking that covered his chest and abs, and also stretched up to his neck.
On top of each of his shoulders was that same tattoo from before, except now it was purple, and his tail had also transformed white to coincide with his new body color. The emperors quills had remained the same in terms of style, except for their color had changed obviously, and were now white with purple streaks, though his ears had now grown out and pointed up like spikes, similar in looks to Kelriza's ears in his 1st Restricted Form.
His bangs had grown out enormously, cutting off just above his abs, and were similar in style to both Logan's bangs in his Hyper Form, as well as Kelriza's in his True Final Form, and were even the same color as his brothers, now being white with purple dyed tips. The diamond in the middle of his forehead had also changed, going from white to purple, right at the same moment the last changes of his transformation were taking place.
The emperor's red irised eyes changed so that he had no pupils, essentially making his eyes full red, right before that same color began to leak out of his irises and consume his sclera's, transforming his eyes so that they were nothing but full red, almost like he was a machine. When he spoke, his voice had changed and become much deeper, and a little bit robotic almost.
Felrikan:"Ready to experience the most painful death ever conceived throughout the Universe?!"
Logan:"Funny...I was about to ask you the same question" he remarked as he cracked his neck and knuckles.
The Demonk let out a small annoyed grunt, right before he snarled and unleashed an angered growl, causing a small white compartment, much like mouth mask armor except it was made from his own skin, molded itself and covered up his mouth and muzzle, amplifying his voice and allowing his growl to be heard as being much deeper and even more robotic, though not completely.
The emperor rushed at the hybrid and threw his right fist out once again, though the young man countered his attack with a right punch of his own, the collision of the two attacks creating a small shockwave around them that created several cracks in the ground between them. Within seconds, the two broke out into a powerful skirmish of punches and kicks, though it was one that Felrikan seemed to be struggling in, as it was almost like he was unable to keep up with the Mangham's attacks.
Knowing he wasn't going to land a hit, the alien backed out of the skirmish whilst pulling his left hand back, and then threw it forward, firing off a giant 8 foot tall and wide purple energy blast from his hand, consuming the hybrid warrior and masking his fate. As the smoke began to settle, the outline of a figure started to become apparent, and as it finally disappeared, there stood Logan, almost unscathed save for his arms, which had been slightly burned from when he'd raised them into a cross block to protect himself from the blast.
He slowly lowered his hands, before he disappeared from sight, leaving the Demonk frantically searching for wherever he could have gone, though was given a clear idea when he felt a massive pain on his neck and was sent stumbling forwards slightly, and so turned around to find the young man had gifted him a right sidekick to the area that he felt pain. With that, Felrikan rushed at Logan and attempted to land a left roundhouse kick, though the hybrid leant back in time to dodge it, and was successful in landing his own left roundhouse kick across the tyrants face, throwing him off guard.
The emperor stumbled back a few steps but managed to regain control of himself, though it was already too late, as the Mangham rushed him and landed a solid right uppercut under the aliens chin, then landed a left hook followed by a right hook across both sides of the tyrants face, and finished his combo with a one-step sidekick off his right leg that hit the emperor straight in the stomach, and sent him flying across the landscape.
While Felrikan was still in mid-flight, Logan reappeared above him and slammed his right elbow into the Demonks stomach, forcing him to the ground below and created several cracks in the ground upon impact. The alien was slightly dazed after such a move, and gave the hybrid just the opening he needed to grab hold of the tyrants tail, right before he began spinning the emperor around and around multiple times, before eventually tossing Felrikan flying across the landscape once again.
Luckily this time, the alien managed to bring himself to a halt and attempted to take a moment to recover, though the hybrid wasn't interested in giving him such relief, and instead dealt him another right punch to the face, though this one was powerful enough to break the small armor around his mouth, right before it sent him sky-rocketing straight into a nearby rock formation, destroying it in the process and caused the rubble of the formation to come crashing down on top of him.
After a few moments of silence, the Demonks right fist burst out of the rubble, right before it all was incinerated and allowed the tyrant to stand to his feet, showcasing all his new bruises and blood marks. After inspecting the damage done to him, he tightened both his fists in rage and let out a massive roar as his aura exploded around him once more.
Felikan:"I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS! I AM A DEMONK, THE MOST POWERFUL RACE AND FAMILY IN THE UNIVERSE! I SHALL NOT BE HUMILTE BY SOME LOW-LIFE WARRIOR! I'M GOING TO DESTROY THIS PLANET AND EVERYONE THAT LIVES ON IT!"
The emperor raised his right hand to the sky and extended his index finger like he had done moments before. Suddenly, that same small energy ball that looked like a tiny sun, appeared at the tip of his finger, and looked like it was beginning to slowly grow once again. While it seemed to be the same attack as previously, its power was much greater, and was sending out small fluxuations and shockwaves of energy as it merely charged. A smirk dawned on the tyrants face as his attack grew, as he knew his victory was pretty much sealed, though suddenly, his smirk disappeared…
…and was replaced by an expression pure shock and agony. His attack disappeared and he dropped his hand slightly, though still managed to keep it up despite being suddenly out of breathe and in such incredible pain. The source of his pain was directly in his stomach, and as he slowly looked down to see the cause, he was angered to find Logan standing underneath him with his right fist extended out…and piercing through his stomach. While the hybrids fist had not gone directly through the other side of the tyrant's body, it was still extremely close.
The Mangham slowly looked up so that is and Felrikans eyes met, the two glaring one another down for a moment, right before the young man twisted his fist whilst still inside the Demonks stomach, causing him to cringe slightly more from the new pain he was experiencing, right before Logan ripped his fist from the aliens stomach, allowing for a small explosion of blood to flow out of the hole made by the warriors fist, and forcing the emperor to back off from his opponent whilst growling and grabbing at the pain tha now flowed through his body.
"You…son of a…bitch…how dare you act this way to a Demo-" though right before he could finish, the Mangham teleported in front of the alien with his back to him, and raised his right hand up to deal a backfist to the tyrants face, forcing him to fall back slightly whilst grabbing at his face from the pain.
As he lowered his hand st glare and growl at the young man once more, he revealed the massive blood trail coming from his nose thanks to the punch dealt by the hybrid, who then slowly turned around to face his opponent.
Logan:"It's over Felrikan. You're done. There's no way you can match up to my power. You might have slaughtered billions and attempted to destroy my home, but I'm going to give you one last chance. The same chance I gave your brother, though he was foolish enough to decline. Leave my planet. Disband your empire and free the countless planets you control. Go to the furthest end of the Universe and start your life over. Don't ever think of hurting anyone ever again, because if I find you, I won't be merciful!"
Felrikan:"You stupid…fucking Mobian…" he started before he spit out a slight bit of blood "…I…am a Demonk…the most powerful race…and family in the Universe…I won't surrender…to a low-life like you…I'd rather die…than have my honor…permanently disgraced…by a defeat at your hands…"
Logan:"Then so be it…" he remarked as he raised his right hand up and towards the tyrant "…if you'd rather die, then I'll fulfil your request. The Universe may finally know peace with your death, marking the end of the Demonk Empire once and for all. When you get to hell, tell your brother I said Hello! So long Felrikan! CHAOS BEAM!"
With that incantation spoken, a small tennis ball sized ball of golden Chaos Energy appeared at the end of his palm, and was instantly shot out in the form of a small beam that was around the same size and width of the ball, and accelerated at incredible speeds towards Felrikan. It travelled so fast, the alien was barely able to see it, though it was already too late, as the beam pierced straight through the left side of his chest, at the exact area where his heart was, and exploded out the other side of the Demonk, incinerating his heart in the process.
The emperor was at a complete loss for words, and no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to form even a single syllable, only gawk from the overwhelming pain he felt throughout his body. It wasn't long before he began to stumble back, barely remaining on his feet as he held his new wound with both hands, before eventually, he dropped to the floor and let go of his injury, allowing his arms to fall motionless at his side as he felt the last seconds of his life slip away. As he let out the last few growls he could summon, as well as puking out considerably large chunk of blood, Felrikan finally rested his head on the ground, and his life energy depleted away.
All the Mangham could do now as stare down at the now lifeless body, allowing himself to revert back to his normal form whilst simultaneously thinking over his next course of action. The entire Universe would need to know of their last ruler's death, in order for everyone to finally have peace. There was probably a communications device in Felrikans ship that could be used to broadcast to every planet he had under his control, though he'd probably need Tails and Rotors help for something like that. But for now, he had to look at where he was now: home, and all the people he had to see.
One such in particular was approaching him fairly quickly, and as the young man turned around, he was greeted by the joyous sight of his son running closer and closer to him, along with the rest of his friends following a bit behind. It wasn't long before the young hybrid reached his father, and leapt into his arms as the two embraced in a hug as father and son. Harikan was practically crying into his father's chest as the young man did his best to calm him down, whilst also sharing a few tears himself.
Harikan:"I thought…I'd never see you again…(sniff)…"
Logan:"Hey hey, it's alright now! I'm back!" he explained as he placed his son back down and ruffled his hair "I'm very proud of you Harikan. You've fought very bravely today, and you've grown so strong!"
It was at that moment that the rest of the group arrived and crowded round him slightly, all except for Dracton of course.
Xanaks:"You're back! I can't believe it!"
Sonic:"We missed you Logan, all of us!"
Xiro:"Still think it was such a bright idea to try and save everyone by yourself?" he joked as he nudged his brother's shoulder.
Logan:"Hehe, you got me there!" he responded as he scratched the back of his head in slight embarrassment.
It was then that the hybrid noticed the machine standing behind the group, staring at Logan whilst he had his arms crossed over his chest. Realising he still needed an introduction, the young man walked over to the robot and extended his right arm out to Dracton.
"I don't believe we've met. My names Logan, and it's nice to meet you!"
Dracton:"Names Dracton…" he started as he shook the hybrids hand with his own "…I'm one of the newest members of the Freedom Fighters"
Logan:"I sensed your power on my way here whilst you were fighting Felrikan with the others. You're pretty strong for a robot! How did you guys meet Dracton anyway?" he asked as their gesture ended.
Harikan:"It's a long story. You've missed quite a lot in the time you were gone!"
Sonic:"So why don't we head home and catch up with the rest of the gang?"
Xiro:"Doesn't look like that will be necessary" he remarked as he stared off into the distance.
The group all turned in the direction he was facing, and saw what looked like a plane closing in on them. Of course, this was none other than the Tornado, piloted by none other than Tails himself, and accompanying him in the co-pilot seat was Rotor, flying alongside the group was Bunnie, and standing on the wings was Sally, Amy, Antoine and surprisingly Nicole. The group touched down a few metres from the group, and quickly rushed over to join them.
Upon spotting Logan amongst the group, they quickly broke out into celebration and began discussing with him about how much they had missed him. Once all the welcomes were finished, Logan moved amongst the crowd to get to Nicole, who stood there giving him a loving smile that he returned all too happily. The two quickly embraced in a hug, with the A.I. quickly burying her face in his chest as she hugged him tightly, and he wrapped his arms around her and held her close as he stroked her hair and gifted her a kiss to the forehead.
Nicole:"I didn't think I'd ever see you again…"
Logan:"I said I'd come back…and I never break a promise…I'd especially never break one to you" he stated as the two separated from their hug but still held one another close.
Sally:"It's good to have you back Logan"
Logan:"It's good to be back Sally. I hear I've missed a lot while I've been gone?"
Bunnie:"Ya sure did sugah, we've gotta lot a catchin up ta do!"
Logan:"Well then, who'd like to start?"
Antoine:"Perhaps ju should ma friend. Vhere have ju been zees past 6 months?"
Sonic:"And sorry for asking the pretty obvious question here but: How did you survive?!"
Logan:"Ho boy…well…
...I have a pretty vague idea of how I survived. I was nearly dead anyway right as the bomb went off and the explosion was quickly approaching me. I was pretty much out of air, and I'd lost so much energy from using my Kaio-Ken with my Super Form, so I was pretty sure I was about to die. But of course I wasn't going to just give up, and attempted to use Instant Transmission to see if I could escape. I tried so hard to find an energy source, and it looked like I was screwed, but the very moment the explosion was about to hit me, I found the faintest hint of an energy source, and literally managed to teleport away as I was consumed in the explosion.
After that, I'm not sure where I ended up, but I know I was stuck drifting through the vacuum of space for a short while, the only thing keeping me alive was the littlest bit of energy I'd managed to keep to produce some life in me, and sheer luck. Eventually I got caught in some planet's atmosphere and crashed landed on it. I later discovered this planet was known as Agar, and it was very similar to Mobius. They weren't as technologically advanced as we were, and there was a lot more water and islands there, but the people were extremely kind and peaceful. Well, they were on any other day, but fate seemed to have me land on their planet on their most desperate of days.
Agar was under siege by an alien tyrant known as Kelriza, born from a race and family known as the Demonks, and was co-ruler of most of the Universe. He was attacking the planet for one reason only: He wanted the Super Emeralds. See, years ago when you guys were under attack by that A.D.A.M, and Tails and Shadow sent all those Emeralds into the Special Zone, they had to send the Super Emeralds somewhere else, so that they'd not only be safe, but also so the balance of Chaos Energy remained the same.
When they landed on Agar, the people discovered the true secrets and power the Emeralds held, and knowledge of this power existing quickly spread throughout the Universe, eventually making its way to Kelriza. While he was already extremely powerful, Kelriza wanted to cement his title of being the strongest I the Universe, and so though the Emeralds would give him the Ultimate Power that he desired.
In order to get the Emeralds, Kelriza and his men were slaughtering every single person on the planet, whether they had the Emeralds or not. I wasn't going to stand for anything like this, and quickly rushed off to find and stop Kelriza before he did any more harm. His soldiers and elite men were an absolute joke, though he himself certainly wasn't. I've never faced such a powerful opponent, his power was even greater than Kilutro's, and was much stronger than Felrikans Final Form that you guys saw earlier.
As our battle progressed, he revealed that his power was so astonishing and incredible, that in order for him to use it effectively, he had to place himself in Restricted Forms to control his power. He slowly let himself out of these Forms and grow stronger and stronger, forcing me to use my Kaio-Ken and Super to keep up with his different stages. As he reached his True Form, his power was immense, and I had no more energy to stand up to him, and so he wiped me out with his immense power before going off to the final village where the last Emerald remained.
Luckily I survived, and after using this magic eatable ball the Agarians gave me, I was back to full strength and took off to stop Kelriza, though I was already too late. By the time I got to the village, the last of the Agarians were dead, making their race extinct, and Kelriza had all the Emeralds. In that moment, I've never been so angry. To think I'd allowed this selfish and arrogant bastard to slaughter all these people with no consequences, no remorse, no care.
I wasn't going to allow someone like this to live any longer, and so after forcing him to transform into his Final Form, I used the Super Emeralds to transform into the Legendary Hyper Form and battle him. Towards the end of the battle, I tried giving him a chance to give up and start over. Even if he had slaughtered so many, I was still torn on taking a life, and our battle really had no point in dragging on, seen as the planet was about to explode and I was far stronger than him.
He didn't take the opportunity and tried to kill me, so I ended his life. I then used the Emeralds to save the planet and revive all the Agarians, before returning to my normal form. Seen as I was out of energy, and I couldn't teleport directly home, and id practically destroyed most of Kelriza's ship, I wasn't getting home as quickly. Luckily, the Agarians were pretty nifty with technology despite their planet not giving that impression, and offered to construct me a ship from what was left of the ship, whilst also offering me a place to stay until it was finished...
...whilst I stayed there, they helped me hone the new skills that I'd learned from the Super Emeralds, and even taught me a few tricks themselves. However I was all too anxious to get home, as during out battle, Kelriza explained how he had a brother that ruled his empire alongside him. While he wasn't as strong as Kelriza, he was still extremely powerful, and could pose a threat to everyone I love and care about. The moment the ship was finished, we caught word through the technology from Kelriza's ship that Felrikan was fast approaching Mobius, and so I rushed off to come help you guys"
Harikan:"Wow!"
Tails:"Amazing!"
Sally:"So what were these secrets that Kelriza was after?"
Logan:"Well the day that I came to Agar was the same day a special event can take place with the Emeralds. If a person is to gather the Super Emeralds and use their power on that day, that person is blessed with the ability known as Chaos Sight.
It's quite incredible really, as it allows the user to see things most can't, like unique kinds of energy, such as the ones produced from deity's, or someone's soul and their past life, as well as much more. The most notable ability that Chaos Sight allows the user to do, is to be able to see the future based off the way events are playing out and what is to come. It's only an on-occasion thing though, but it's still pretty interesting, and it's the reason my eyes look much brighter"
Amy:"Speaking of changes in look, what happened to your fur?"
Logan:"Oh yeah, another side effect of the Emeralds, as well as Agar for that matter. When someone uses the Super Emeralds to their full potential to transform into the Legendary Hyper Form, some of that power will stay with me afterwards, like the Chaos Sight, as well as some of the immense power the Form holds. The energy it gave me had an effect on my body, and because planet Agar is practically breathing full of Chaos Energy from the Super Emeralds, it also amplified those changes to my body"
Xiro:"What else did the Emeralds show you? And just how powerful was the Hyper Form?"
Logan:"They showed me a few Chaos ability's that no one's ever heard of, however some of them I was only able to perform in the Hyper Form because of their immense power and energy consumption, so I'm still working on pulling those off naturally. However I think it's important I'm one of few that have seen this knowledge, as this power is way too much for one person to have, and it could easily corrupt anyone if they were given it.
If this kind of power and knowledge fell into the wrong hands, who knows what they could do? As for the power the Hyper Form gave me? The Agarians did the calculations using the equipment leftover on Kelriza's ship, and it turns out the Hyper Form multiplied my base from by 400"
Dracton:"That's insane!"
Logan"Well, that's enough of my crazy 6 months, how have you guys been?"
Xiro:"It's been rough to say the least…
...a few weeks after your 'death', we were attacked by the Eggman Empires new leader, the Iron Queen. The battle against her lasted an entire month, and at one point she even managed to take control of the city, as well as Nicole, due to her techno, magic powers or whatever they were. She had such a vast army behind her and most of her followers were pretty powerful, though we found out a way to get rid of her back up and leave her open for us to defeat her.
She had this special connection back in the Dragon Kingdom, something to do with the 'House of Four Brides' or something, which was what gave her the ability to command her followers and army. We sent Sonic, Tails, Sally, and Monkey Khan, who had originally come to us about the problem of the Iron Queen, to go sort that out. The rest of us stayed behind to ty and take the city back, and soon the team came back after they'd disbanded the 'House of Four Brides' forcing her followers to abandon her, and leave her open for us to defeat her. Unfortunately during the confusion, Snively managed to escape with Eggman, and we haven't heard from them since. This is also where we met Dracton and he told us of what he'd been through after we beat her
After that, not much happened for about a month. A few small problems like something with the Wolf Pack that Sonic and Sally went to sort out, Rotors pack was taken over by Eggman, Bunnie found her Uncle whilst her and Sonic were helping out down in Sand Blast City, and Geoffrey St. John turned out to be a traitor working with Ixis Nagus. We haven't heard from in months, he hasn't made a move or shown his face in a while.
Neither has Eggman, even though he's somewhere out there. Cobrans still stuck and training in the End Zone. The only other danger we faced were these two strange Mobian twins, who we later found out were a pair of androids. They wouldn't reveal their creator, but they were made for the sole purpose of destroying us. They were pretty tricky and powerful opponents, but we managed to hold our own against them and eventually forced them to retreat...
...that was 2 months ago, and they haven't been seen since"
Logan:"I see. These two sound pretty dangerous, so we'll have to be on our guard if they come back"
Xanaks:"I'm sure we can all worry about that later, now shouldn't we focus more on celebrating the fact that you're still alive?"
Logan:"You're right Xanaks, we can worry about all that later, but we still have one last thing to do…" he stated as he looked at the corpse of the alien near to the group.
Moments later, the Freedom Fighters were all aboard Felrikans ship, and while most of the group were either exploring or waiting outside, Logan, Tails, Nicole, Harikan, Xanaks, Xiro and Dracton, were all on the bridge/control room of the ship. The young fox was using one of the advanced, holographic keyboards that came with the ship, and was going through all their technology and data whilst setting up a connecting to an unknown source.
Logan:"Almost done Tails?"
Tails:"Almost. This technology is incredible, and is light years away from anything we could ever produce. That ship of yours was pretty advanced as well. What design did the Agarians base it off?"
Logan:"There wasn't enough to construct me an actual ship, so we used what was left of their technology to construct one of their escape pods/small transportation units"
Nicole:"But the technology in that ship is equal to the kind of technology G.U.N use in their most advanced spacecraft's"
Logan:"Yep, the Demonks Empire is so advanced, that our best kind of space transportation could only just stand up to their escape pods"
Tails:"The connections set. Every single planet that the Demonks have under their control is now linked to the broadcast, and their main stronghold is also connected"
Logan:"Good, then lest begin…"
It was at that moment, that practically every plane throughout the Multiverse received a message. A message that as broadcasted to every form of media put in place on the planet by the Demonks: TV's, Radios and other communications devices, through satellites that sent the message telepathically to all those that couldn't hear it, and any other form of communication that could be established to each planet. They were all given the image of a black furred creature standing before them, who was in fact Logan, and he soon began to speak to them.
"Greetings Citizens of the Universe. My name is Logan Mangham, and I come bearing a message for you…
…for practically all your lives, you have been conquered and enslaved by the powerful and heartless Demonk army. They have slaughtered your friends and family, they have forced you into poverty and suffering, and they have dominated every aspect of your lives so that there is no shred of happiness for the rest of your days. And it is now that I say no more. As most of you probably know, Kelriza, one of the rulers of the Demonk Empire, was murdered around 6 months ago by a mysterious warrior. That warrior was me.
It didn't take long before Felrikan, the other ruler of this empire, decided to come after everyone I love and kill them to send a message to me. And so now…" he stated before lifting the now severed head of the former tyrant up to the camera "…he has joined his brother in Hell. There is no longer a ruler for the Demonk Empire, and soon it will crumble and destroy itself, allowing all of you to be free and live your lives peacefully.
For those of you that are part of the Demonks army, it is over. You have no leaders, you have no man power to be able to take over any planets, and you will not cause any more suffering or pain to anyone. So here's what's going to happen form this point on: The Demonk Empire will disband itself, and any member of the empire must turn over a new leaf. Start your lives over, and never harm anyone ever again, or there will be consequences.
In a few months' time, I'm taking a trip to the Demonks home planet and main base of operations. If I find that the Demonks Empire isn't disbanded, and that you are still causing harm and suffering to others, I will track down every member of the empire and kill them myself. This is your only warning. Give the Universe peace, or you'll be resting in peace yourselves!"
And with that, the feed cut out.
Xiro:"Think they'll listen to the message?"
Logan:They'd better if they know what's good for them. Besides, those two were the most powerful opponents I've ever faced, and with their power they've conquered countless planets. No one wanted to challenge their power, and now that they know these two 'god-like' beings are dead, and that the warrior who killed them is threatening them, they'll have no choice but to disband"
Tails:"Well for now, I think it's time we just relax. You're alive and you're now even stronger than anyone could ever imagine. We have absolutely nothing to worry about"
Logan:"You're right Tails. Now let's round up everyone and head home…" he remarked as they began to leave the room.
Later that same day, as the night began to fall…
...Two figures could be seen soaring across the skies of Mobius, the larger figure of the two seemed to have quite a lead on the smaller one, who seemed to be trying to catch up. These two figures were in fact Logan and Harikan, the former of the two racing around the skies in a playful, childlike demeanor, as he flipped and rolled all across the sky.
Eventually, he took a sharp turn straight up into the air, preforming multiple aileron rolls like a plane upon his ascent, and upon reaching a high enough altitude, the hybrid cut off all his energy so he momentarily hovered in the air, giving him a beautiful view of the stars, the moon, and the moonlight reflecting off the oceans below him, right before he began to plummet towards the water below him.
However, right before he touched down into the water, the young man burst off and began flying at incredible speeds above the water, causing the water to slightly part and fly off behind him as he flew. After a few moments, the Mangham ceased flying over the water, and began ascending into the air once more, preforming a few rolls along the way, before finally stopping in mid-air and taking in the view once more. As he continued to stare out, the boy managed to catch up to his father, and hovered up to his side as he also took in the views.
Harikan:"Would you mind telling me why we came all the way out here?"
Logan:"Sorry son, it's just…I've missed these views…not saying that planet Agar is a hell hole or anything, it's one of the most beautiful gems to be found throughout the Universe, but…(sigh) it's not home…"
Harikan:"I know what you mean…it was lonely some nights while you were gone…watching the stars…wondering if you'd come crashing down and say hello…ironically it didn't really help how the stars are your favourite view…and I was enjoying it by myself…"
Logan:"Hey…" he started as he put his arm around his son "…let's not have any of that sad talk. I'm home, and that's all that matters"
There was a silence between the two as they stared out over the view once more, and was only broken when the young hybrid raised a question, one that seemed to off put the older slightly.
Harikan:"So…you and Nicole huh?"
As he finished the question, the boy felt his father's hand twitch slightly before removing itself from his shoulder.
Logan:"Oh…you know about that huh? Listen son…it's not-"
Harikan:"Dad, there's no need to worry about it, I understand everything that went off. Timeline changes right? That sinister force that's been after you manipulated mom. Uncle Xiro explained it to me, though he mainly understood it because Mom explained it to him"
Logan:"Wait…she explained it to him? When was this?"
Harikan:"At your funeral. She came with Uncle Vince, Auntie Gracie and Uncle John, as well as Grandma and Grandpa. They had a private talk during the whole ordeal, right before your metal copy came in and crashed the place, and Xiro beat the crap out of him for it. But that's not the point.
She didn't mean to do all that stuff, and we both knew you shouldn't have been banned. I don't blame you or her, as none of you were in the wrong. I know things are a bit messed up at the moment, but Nicole's been keeping you happy at a time when you aren't at your best, and that's totally fine. One day we'll set everything right, and then everyone'll be happy, for real!"
The older Mangham was at a loss for words at the boys own words, and the only reaction he could muster was a warm smile, before ruffling the boys hair.
Logan:"You really are something else, just like your old man! I didn't think you'd understand any of that at this age, but you've certainly proved me wrong. One day we'll set things right, I promise you that"
Harikan:"And it's a promise that neither of us will break. I'm gonna take off, it's getting pretty late and I'm really tired after today"
Logan:"Alright son. I'll see you at home"
Harikan:"Later!" he called out before he burst off into the distance.
"Nice kid isn't he?" spoke a mysterious voice from behind the hybrid.
As he turned to find out the identity of this mystery figure, he was surprised to find it was Dracton, who slowly floated p to his side and stared off into the distance as well.
Logan:"Well he takes after his father"
Dracton:"Indeed, though speaking of which, you seem…different…"
Logan:"Heh, sure you can make that judgement when we've known each other for not even a day?"
Dracton:"True, but from the stories the rest of your team and family have told me, you seem slightly off. A bit harsher, more serious, and a tiny bit less un-caring when it comes to killing"
Logan:"Yeah, I can see where you're coming from, but there is a good reason for it…"
Dracton:"Then share"
Logan:"…I'd never encountered anyone like Kelriza before. He was heartless, a psychopath, and there wasn't a shred of decency, humanity, or even Mobianity in him. He took pride in slaughtering others and bringing pain to people's lives. Even after encountering a demon comprised of pure evil energy, Kelriza was 1000 times worse. He took pride in the fact he'd slaughtered an entire race just to achieve his goals, and that pushed me over the edge.
To know that such a heartless bastard existed in the Universe made me angrier than I've ever been before, and it made me even more angry how I hadn't been there to stop him and save all those people he's hurt. I wasn't going to allow him to breathe anymore after what's he's done, so I ended him without question. Even after he saw he was outmatched, and after I summoned up whatever decency I had left in me to give him a second chance, he still decided to stick to his evil ways, and so it gave me even more reason to kill him.
During our battle, he told me about his brother, and how they ruled their empire together. From that I could tell he was already as bad as Kelriza, and that he would need to be ended as well. Just thinking about the fact that there were these two people that had enslaved and destroyed the lives of billions throughout the Universe enraged me more than anything in my life…"
Dracton:"It's easy to understand how you felt put in your position and given your morals. Most people would feel the same way, so there's no reason to be ashamed for what you did"
Logan:"Well that makes the burden a little easier to handle. But that's enough about me, let's talk about you"
Dracton:"Me?"
Logan:"I still don't know anything about you, and the fact that you're a machine makes it a little harder to see into your soul, despite the fact that one is present in you. So would you be so kind as to fill me in on your life?"
Dracton:"If you insist…
…I was a simple warrior in my early years. I lived in the Dragon Kingdom, and trained every day to be the greatest the planet had ever seen. When I was just 25, I got into a fight with some powerful opponents, and not only did I end up losing, I ended up dying. I awoke in the place you know as Otherworld, and it was there that I learned my purpose, and the path that I must take in life. I was to become one of the mightiest warriors the planet had ever seen, and use my incredible power to help a warrior known as Logan Mangham, along with his friends and family, to protect the planet from any dangers that would threaten it.
Of course it was because of this factor that I would be allowed back to the world of the living, and during my stay in the Otherworld, I was given someone to take care of me. A man from an alien race in another Universe by the name Piccolo, was to be my mentor and train me in his ways until I had to be sent back. It was from him that I learned about the Legendary Warrior Son Goku, and how he had trained a boy named Logan for his own purpose later in life, and this was the same man I was to help.
It wasn't long before I was sent back to the world of the living, and continued to hone my skills for a good 2 years right until I was attacked again. Luckily I was prepared this time and was able to beat my opponents, but during the battle I had sustained some heavy damage, and they had infected me with a rare poison that was slowly eating away at my body. The only way to keep me alive was to transform my body so that it was more machine, and so my skin became metal, and my insides were now a fusion of organs and technology. While I don't really need to anymore, I can still eat, drink and sleep like any other Mobian, and the only downside really is that I still get tired like any other fighter.
Many years later, I returned to the Dragon Kingdom, hoping to live a peaceful life back in the place I was born, and hone my skills ready for when Logan Mangham would need me by his side to defend the planet. Unfortunately, it seemed the Iron Queen had other plans when she attacked my village seeking me, as she'd somehow caught word of my incredible power, and wanted to add me to her empire.
I held my own against her forces, but due to being a machine, she was able to use her magic to put me under her control, and so I became part of her empire. We soon joined up with the Eggman Empire and assumed control, and our first course of action was to take over Mobotropolis, which was where I encountered you friends...
...they freed me from the Iron Queens control, and so after defeating her, I vowed to fight by their side as thanks for giving me my freedom"
Logan:"Man, to think you've been trained in Otherworld as well, and by Piccolo of all people!"
Dracton:"He was a strict, but kind mentor. He helped me to become very powerful, and when I became a machine, my power became even greater"
Logan:"Well then, how bout we put that power to the test with a little late night spar?" he asked as he took his fighting stance in mid-air.
Dracton:"I would enjoy that very much!" he responded as he also took his fighting stance.
The two warriors smirked at one another, right before they charged at each other and engaged in a skirmish of punches and kicks, and the two fought well into the night.
Meanwhile, at a secret base hidden in the Dragon Kingdom…
…Doctor Carnage was hard at work at his computer, going over blueprints, forensics, scans, calculations, as well as much more that was plastered all over his many monitor screens. He heard a pair of footsteps walking up behind him, and he didn't even have to turn around to acknowledge the two new shadowy figures in his presence.
Carnage:"What do you two want now?"
Unknown:"We just want to know when we get to attack those Freedom Fighters again? I would like to satisfy my programming's desire to end their lives"
Carnage:"Not yet, it's not the time. Last time the group almost took you out, and if you go out to fight them as you are now, they'll destroy you. Plus, I'm not exactly in the mood to put the two of you back together, should and when you get destroyed by them"
Unknown 2:"Well maybe if you'd allowed us to use our Fusion technique the last time, we would have them beat by now!"
Carnage:"I've told you before: Your Fusion is a last resort if something goes wrong, or an even more powerful opponent than the Freedom Fighters presents themselves! In order for you two to beat them, you're going to need backup, and that's why I have a little mission for you"
Unknown:"And that would be?"
Carnage:"You see, I created you two completely from scratch. I designed your endo skeletons, your power generators, your outer bodies, everything. Now that you two need backup, it'll take me another year or so to do all of that again, and we don't have that much time until 'Project: Perfect' is complete.
That's why I've had the bright idea to use some unwilling but powerful subjects to transform into androids and use to our advantage. It'll take much less time to reprogram and fix them with the right kind of upgrades, and they'll be strong enough to give you two the edge you'll need. Here are your targets" he explained as he handed them a small file.
The first of the two figures opened the file, and inside contained a picture and profile sheet of two particular people, and on the profiles, it was stated that the two shared the last name 'Williams'.
Unknown 2:"What's so special about these two?"
Carnage:"Through my spy cameras, I've caught word that Logan Mangham is alive, and has returned home. Seen as my initial goal was for you two to destroy him first and then his friends, and now that the two of you need backup, I thought I could break him at the same time we beat him. These two are some of his childhood friends that he's very close to, and I know that he could never must the courage to fight his friends, it would be too devastating! That's why you two shall bring them to me!"
Unknown:"It will be done…" he answered as the two of them disappeared into the shadows.
Carnage:"I'll call Eggman and see if I can have some of his forces attack the city, throw the group off and leave them open for you to capture. The plan is finally coming together! After years of hard work, 'Project: Perfect' is finally nearing completion. My only concern will be controlling him, as he seems to be going against all the commands I input into him, though when those two fail at destroying the Freedom Fighters, he will have all the data he needs to finally destroy Logan and his friends once and for all! Then, I will no longer need Ultimate Power, for I will have Perfect Power in my control!"
