Episode 20: Attack of Master Mogul
Not long, Sonic, Eve, Knuckles, Shadow, Jazz, and Tails have suddenly vanished and Mogul is the one who has done it. He also the one who has stolen Enerjak's powers and have the Destructix stole the Sword of Acorns to do just that. Now Mogul is starting to grow powerful with the incredible power he has now possessed, and has the Freedom Fighters and others captive.
Meanwhile in an unknown abyss that is surrounded by large pieces of land floating around. The unknown place also has white mist along with glowing sparks that come out a few times. On one of the pieces of land, Sonic, Eve, and the others are fallen on the ground, each one on top of the other. Jazz however is laying right on the top.
Jazz soon sits up and replies, "Chao."
"Hey Jazz," Sonic calls out.
Jazz looks down to see she is sitting on Sonic's head. Sonic is on Tials. Tails is on Eve. Eve is on Shadow. And finally, Shadow is laying on Knuckles. Jazz blinks her eyes with a confused look.
"You don't mind if you can get off of my head?" Sonic asks.
Knuckles grumbles in anger, "Will you mind getting off of mine?"
A few moments later, Sonic and the others are off of each other and standing on their feet. As of now, they are discussing some important matters. At the same time, Knuckles and Eve has discussed what really happened and how they never send anything to either of them.
"So wait, Dimitri came back as this Enerjak? I thought you both send him to space?" Sonic asks.
"We thought we did. He someone came back and attacked us, and recruited the Dark Legion," Knuckles says.
Eve turns to Shadow, "Not to mention he kidnapped me, our parents, and our siblings. I wouldn't be surprised if he was going to come after you eventually."
"Why would he do that?" Shadow asks.
"It's because we're part of his family bloodline. He wanted us to be a part of his legion, even if it means doing it by force, and he wants to get rid of his brother's family bloodline, Knuckles, Locke, and Athair," Eve says.
"He also planned to take over the Echidnaopolis, but that plan backfired somehow," Knuckles says.
"And I'll tell you another thing, Mammoth Mogul planned this all along," Eve says.
"Why do you say that?" Knuckles asks.
Tails says, "I understand what Eve is talking about. Mammoth Mogul must have known about the Sword's power. That's why Mammoth Mogul had the Destructix steal the sword, to use it to steal Enerjak's powers."
"After what I saw, it's very accurate. I'll bet he's the one who freed Enerjak from the ship and had him fall to where the Legion is. The invasion, us getting captured, and you all were called here was all part of his plan to gain Enerjak's tremendous power by getting him out in the open," Eve says.
Sonic clutches his fist, "Then Mogul tricked us!"
"But then, why did he send us to this weird zone?" Knuckles asks.
"That will be an obvious answer, Knuckles," Shadow says.
Eve and the others turn to Shadow with confused looks.
Shadow then explains, "Mammoth Mogul knew that you four, including Jazz are considered threats to his plans. He must have also knew about me and decided to be disposed here as well."
"That's why he gathered all of us here, so he can get rid of us to this zone," Eve says.
Then becomes concern, "And is planning to do the same with the others."
"Even Cosmo, Molly, Cream and Cheese, Leon, and Topaz," Tails says, worried.
"Chao Chao," Jazz replies with a nod and is worried.
"Alright, we need to get out of this zone and stop him," Sonic says.
"Question is how. Mogul sent us to this weird place and I don't want to know if there's anything willing to jump us," Eve says.
"Well this is just perfect. First it was our power mad ancestor, and now Mammoth Mogul send us into this hole," Knuckles says.
"I wonder what Jumbo did with the rest of our friends," Sonic says.
"I don't even want to think about that," Eve says.
"Sorry sis," Eve says.
Suddenly, they begin to feel rumbling from the ground.
"What the?! Some kind of rock quake?" Sonic asks.
Tails looks down and notices the rock's movement.
"Uh guys, I'm beginning to think this rock might be alive," Tails says.
"That's impossible," Shadow says.
"This is a different zone, so anything can happen," Eve says.
Suddenly, Sonic screams as mud forms and he is being pulled in. Just then, rocks comes out in form of monsters appear from the ground.
"Sonic!" Eve screams.
Sonic struggles, "It's got me!"
"I'm coming Sonic!" Tails says, flying towards him.
However, Tails begin to fly sideways as he grabs Sonic by his hand. Knuckles and Shadow punch and kick the rock creatures. Tails is able to pull Sonic out of the mud and places him on the dry dirt.
"That was too close," Sonic says.
"Yeah," Sonic says.
Eve uses her Chaos Energy that cause her hands to glow, "I got this."
Eve then create a giant Chaos Bubble and places herself and the other inside. Now they are floating in the air of the strange zone with Eve controlling the bubble.
"Nice work, Eve," Knuckles says.
"Thanks," Eve says.
"Now we need to get out of this weird place and stop Mogul," Sonic says.
"How do we plan to do that?" Tails asks.
"Chao Chao," Jazz replies.
Suddenly, they hear someone calling out, "Knuckles!"
That cause the group to become a bit confused.
Knuckles recognize the sound, "I know that voice."
Everyone turns their heads to see a glowing portal and in front of it, is an echidna that is very familiar to Knuckles and Eve.
"Athair!" Eve and Knuckles says surprised.
"What's he doing?" Tails asks.
Everyone looks to see Athair disappears as Eve carries the bubble to the hole. The next moment, everyone is being sucked through the portal while Eve still has them placed in the bubble.
"Where did he go?" Shadow asks.
"And in his place is some kinda black hole! We're being sucked into it!" Sonic says.
Eve says, "I think Athair is trying to help us."
"He helped me before when I was knocked out, and teleported me to where the others are. Either way, anything is a lot better than this weird place," Knuckles says.
"I just hope the others are still okay when we get to them," Eve says in concern.
Shadow places his hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry, we'll stop Mogul before he can cause any damages."
"Right. Then let's stop him," Eve says.
Eve then continues to use her Chaos Energy to have them be carried across the black hole. Thanks to Athair, they are able to get out of the strange zone, but hope they're not too late to stop Mammoth Mogul.
Meanwhile, Mammoth Mogul still has the Freedom Fighters, Chaotix, G.U.N agents, and other held in his power. Sally, and the others struggle to break free from Mogul's control, but it's impossible.
Fiona angrily says, "You won't get away with this Mogul!"
"Yeah!Sonic and Eve will stop you once they get back!" Amy adds.
"Afraid that is not the young young ladies.," Mogul says.
Then his eyes glow a bright green color, "I almost admire them… these young heroes, truly believed their abilities the equal of their courage! Courage! Against unlimited power! Power to make me…"
The next moment, Mammoth Mogul changes into a different form. He wears some gold armor and it also has a red long lace and cap, and a gray strap with gold hanging on the bottom.
"Master Mogul," He new form concludes.
Everyone becomes shocked to see Mogul has taken a brand new form. And is holding a cane in his hand.
Mogul then says, "The ones who may have posed a threat have been banished. Hopeless lost until I retrieve them… making use of their unique abilities as the elite strike force of my new world order!"
Unknown to Mogul, a vortex opens from above the sky, and Sonic, Eve, Shadow, Knuckles, Tails, and Jazz fly out of it.
Mogul then turns to the Freedom Fighters, "As for the others, they are useless… destined to meet a swift end…"
Sonic, Eve, and the others are not liking what Mogul is saying and know that he needs to be stopped. On the ground, many of the Mobians, Dingoes, and Echidnas are shocked to see the Mammoth Mogul. And begin to run away in fear.
The Mastermind adds, "When they cease cowering in the shadows and resign themselves to their final fate!"
Eve lands everyone on the building and looks down to see Mogul still has everyone captured in some bubble made of powerful energy.
"Hmph. I wouldn't say he got rid of us that easily," Knuckles says.
Eve shushes Knuckles, "Let's get him while we still have the element of surprise."
Sonic then brings out two power rings, "It's a good thing I brought these along."
"Sounds good to me," Eve says, taking one of the Power Rings.
Shadow brings out a Red Chaos Emerald, "Hopefully this can give us a bit more power."
"A Chaos Emerald? Where you get that?" Eve asks.
"Found it on one of my missions for G.U.N," Shadow says.
"If we're doing here, let's teach Mogul a lesson," Knuckles says.
"Chao Chao," Jazz says.
"Alright gang, let's do this," Sonic says.
Back on the ground, Mogul raises the staff in their air and unleashes a beam to the sky. He then continues, "No one has the power to challenge the phenom I have become… the power to visualize reality with a six sense, functioning as a homing beacon, to direct and deliver death!"
Suddenly, a female's voice says, "Actually, we're of the option that you have a 'Sick sense of reality"..."
Then Mogul ends get receiving a hard hit on the back.
"And it seems that we need to knock some sense into you," Another voice says.
Then the sample voice shouts, "Chaos Spear!"
Mogul looks up to see spears of Chaos Energy flying down at them. Mogul then creates a protective shield around himself and the spears bounce off.
"Right now, I'm begging he wishes he keep his bragging to himself," Another voice says.
Suddenly, Mogul ends up receiving four fists at his stomach and face and is pushes back. Mogul looks up and grits his teeth in anger to see the three hedgehogs and the red Echidna.
"Hey Mogul, hope you're happy to see us again," Eve remarks.
"Chao Chao," Jazz replies.
"Impossible! Your imprisonment should have been inescapable," Mogul says angrily.
"Like you can get rid of us that easily!" Tails says.
"Chao," Jazz says.
Mogul angrily says, "I should not be defeated by you so easily!"
Mogul then fires the power at the group. Everyone quickly dodge out of the way.
Eve then brings out her sword, "We're not going to let you get away with this."
Eve then speeds as she prepares to strike with her sword. She swings her sword, but Mogul uses his staff to repel the attack. Eve continues to press her sword against the cane as Mogul isn't moving a single inch.
"Hmm, you have become stronger than our last encounter. Sadly, it's not enough to face this tremendous power," Mogul says.
He then fires his power at Eve and hits to the wall. Then she falls to the ground. Eve struggles to get up, using her sword for support.
"Eve!" Sonic and Shadow exclaim.
Just then, Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles are strikes be a slash of Chaos Energy and thrown to the ground where Eve is struggling to stand. Jazz flies over to them and is growing very worried. Tails runs over and is shocked to see the group are getting beaten by Mogul and his new power.
"Regardless of how you escaped to return to this planet, and obtain those rings and that Chaos Emerald. By my will, you once again depart…" Mogul says.
He then raises his staff, "But this time it will be from the mortal plane!"
He then fires his power at the four who have fallen. Tails and Jazz become shocked to see what is happening. Sally, and the others who are trapped gasp in shock. Suddenly, the Echidna and the three Hedgehogs begin to levitate from the ground and the power is not banishing them.
Much to Mogul's shock, "What?! They seem to bathe in my energy, almost absorb it like I did Dimitri's!"
Sonic, Eve, Knuckles, and Shadow close their eyes as they feel the Chaos energy surrounding them.
Mogul questions, "What this!"
Suddenly, the chaos energy explode around the whole area. The next moment, Sonic, Shadow, and Eve's fur has turned gold and gain their super form. Knuckles suddenly turns into a bright glowing pink color and feels super charged. Trapped in the bubble, The Freedom Fighters, Chaotix, and G.U.N are surprised to see what has become of the four friends.
"Whoa nelly! They all gain their super forms!" Bunnie says.
"Knuckles d-did too… I-I never knew he could do that…" Ray says, surprised.
Mogul looks at the newly super powered Mobians, "I see, so this is what these four are capable of."
Sonic, Shadow, Eve, and Knuckles see that they all gain their super forms because of the power Mogul has launched at them. Sonic and Knuckles are the first to fly over and punch Mogul right through the debris of the building. He then falls to the ground with some of the debris on him.
The next moment, Shadow gives him a hard punch at his stomach. Just then, Mogul's armor begins to fall into pieces. The super Mobians notices something off about him.
"What in the?" Shadow says, shocked.
Sonic, Knuckles, and Eve see the busted armor, but also see a Green Chaos Emerald on Mogul's chest.
"It's a Chaos Emerald," Eve says, shocked.
"Yes. It's true. My can was merely a mechanical construct, a ruse enabling me to safeguard my real Chaos Emerald," Mogul says.
"Okay. This is just going to get harder," Sonic says.
Eve brings out her sword, "We need to get that Emerald away from him."
"Then let's ram him," Knuckles says.
With that, Sonic, Eve, Shadow, and Knuckles begin to charge at Mogul. But then he swats them back and they all fall to the ground.
"You fools! You think you are able to stop me!" Mogul says.
Then raises his fist, "I be sure you are more than just banished from this world."
Before Mogul can attack, someone strikes him on the back. Then hits him at the fist from the left and from the right. Sonic, and the others stand up to see someone attacking him. The glowing small ball flies in the air and then flies back down. A close view, the glowing object is Jazz the Chao who has transformed.
"Jazz!" Eve exclaims.
"She gone super!" Sonic adds.
Jazz flies down as she fast as she can and screams, "Chaooooo!"
Jazz then begins to attack Mogul by swatting him as she flies by. Sally and the others are shocked to see this as well.
"I never knew Jazz can do that," Cosmo says.
"No kidding. She's a little squirt," Rouge says.
Eve stands up, "I got to help her."
Eve then flies towards Mogul with Sonic and the others behind. Jazz swats Mogul on his head. Then Eve kicks him in the stomach. Jazz then flies back and hits him at the arm, and Sonic counters by hitting him on the back. Knuckles and Shadow kick Mogul at the stomach at the same time. Finally, Eve then traps Mogul inside a Chaos Bubble.
Knuckles turns to Jazz, "Thanks, you sure are one tough Chao."
"Chao Chao," Jazz says.
"Let's finish this," Sonic says.
The five circle around Mogul and begin to use their power to defeat Mogul.
The four shout, "Chaos Control!"
"Chao Chao!" Jazz screams.
The five then use their Chaos Energy to keep Mogul trapped in place. At the same time, the Green Chaos Emerald is beginning to be pulled out of Mogul. However, Mogul is struggling to use his powers to break through the bubble.
All four shout, "Chaos Control!"
"Chao Chao!" Jazz shouts.
The next moment, the Green Chaos Emerald is pulled out of the Mammoth's chest and it falls to the ground. The light blinds the whole area. After the light disappears, Sonic, Eve, Shadow, Jazz, and Knuckles are back to their normal selves.
Eve gasps, "He's gone!"
Indeed he is. Mammoth Mogul is not where he is. The only thing around here is the Green Chaos Emerald. Jazz then flies down to the ground and picks up the Green Chaos Emerald. Then takes it to Eve. Eve, and the others are not sure, but they feel this isn't the last they see of Mammoth Mogul.
After the fight, everyone is not only exhausted, but also confused after the Chaos Control. They all gathered in one of the buildings where they can think about today's events.
"I still don't understand where Mammoth Mogul disappeared to," Sonic says.
"I know what you mean. You were able to stop him and got back the Chaos Emerald. I guess after the explosion he just disappeared," Sally says.
"Sounds logical to me," Archimedes says.
"But still an unknown answer," Knuckles says.
Sally holds out her father's sword, "One of the most important things is that we got the Sword of Acorns back, but it appears we need to take extra precaution to be sure it's never been used like that again."
"I agree," Geoffrey replies.
"Still, we need to figure out where Mogul went off to. Who knows what he's planning," Sally says.
"And that something we need to worry about," Nic says.
Fiona sighs, "I just hope we don't run into him again anytime soon."
"After this experience, I hope we never see him again," Amy says.
"Who knows. We just need to keep a close eye out in case," Sally says.
Sonic sighs, "For now, I'm just ready to relax. For the rest of the day."
"Where's Eve anyway," Knuckles asks.
Sally turns her head, "She's over there and it's good to give her some time to herself with her family."
Sonic and the others turn to see Eve with Shadow and the rest of her family. Eve is happy that her family is safe from this crazy adventure.
Meanwhile, in a meeting room in Haven, Locke decides to have an important meeting about what has happened in Echidnapoplis. Including the transformation Knuckles, Sonic, Eve, and Shadow transform into, including Jazz the Chao's transformation.
With Locke are five other Echidna, and each of them are sitting on a chair at the table. One is dark red with white stripes and wears a blue tunic and a monocle. A purple echidna that wears a blue vest, brown boots and belt. A red echidna that wears a green vest, green boots, a white spiked gloves, a yellow ribbon and a metal plate on his forehead. A black echidna that wears a black cloak and some silver helmet. The last one is a dark red color, he wears a green long sleeve tunic, green boots and white gloves, along with a strange robotic face set that is only covering his eyes that shows black and red. They just finish watching the events of earlier, and it's a surprise for them all.
"Hmm, I have to admit Locke, what Knuckles and those three hedgehogs did was a real surprise," The red echidna with the green vest says.
"Indeed Sojourner. I was surprised to see it myself. They were able to use Mogul's own power against him and gain powerful forms, even that little Chao was able to transform like they did," Locke says.
"You said that it happened to Sonic and Eve before. Only they were able to use the Chaos Emeralds," Sabre says.
"Yes. Knuckles told me about it himself," Locke says.
Sabre turns to the purple echidna, "What do you think, Thunderhawk."
"I have to say that this Eve Hedgehog girl gets more and more intriguing. given what we've learned about her and her family," Thunderhawk says, and crosses his arms.
"I must admit, that girl is proven that she should be kept a close eye on. After what happened, I'm not sure if the Legion is ever going to give up, with her father being a former Legionnaire," Sojoutner says.
The cloaked echidna says, "Yes. It appears that there are some secrets of the family that wasn't aware of at first, and now starting to gain knowledge of."
"You're right. From what Knuckles told me. Eve never knew her father, Cloud-Ra was part of the Legion, and that her mother, Obsidian was the daughter of a clan leader of the Dragon Kingdom before they got together," Locke says.
"I'm more surprised to know that she got her Chaos Energy by an evil alien race. And yet, she seems to gain the Power of the Chaos Force similar to ours from the Master Emerald Sword," Thunderhawk adds.
The echidna wearing the strange mask says, "But she doesn't seem dangerous. You and Athair met her personally. She may be a skilled fighter and has a powerful Chaos Force, but she also possesses a kind soul."
"You're right Tober. Despite the family bloodline Eve has with the Black Arms and the Dark Legion. Despite all the power she possesses, she uses them for good intentions. She uses her powers to help others and to stop a great evil from ruling our world," Locke says.
"Even so. We can allow her to be fallen into the hands of the Dark Legion, now that they know she and her family are connected to Dimitri," Sabre adds.
"You're right. Maybe we should keep an eye on her whenever she comes to the island. We'll ask Archimedes to report whenever Eve comes to visit," Locke says.
Tober stands up and walks toward the screen to see Sonic, Eve, and the others on the monitor. What catches his attention is seeing Eve hugging her mother and holds the baby spider as Cloud holds the twin Echidnas.
He sadly sighs, and says, "Cloud."
Sometime later, Sonic and the others are leaving the island to get back home.
Sonic asks Eve, "Are you sure you can't come with us?"
"No. Remington said that we need to be question about what has happened before we're going back home," Eve says.
"He's right. With then, being involved with the incident, it's best for them to stay here," Knuckles says.
Julie-Su says, "Don't worry, we'll keep an eye on them."
"Where are your parents?" Antoine asks.
"They're resting in a hotel close to building, Knuckles' mother lives. We all had a bit of a long day," Eve says.
"Yeah. Too bad, Shadow and the others had to leave," Tails says.
"Well, they're called for an important mission and needed to get back right away," Eve says.
Sonic says, "I hope to see you'll come back soon."
"And I'm sure we're all tired after the day we had," Sally says.
Amy yawns, "I'm tired."
"Me too," Cream replies.
"Well, I guess we'll see you when we get back," Cream says.
Eve says, "Bye guys."
"Bye!" Sonic and the others reply.
Sonic, and the others head into their planes, and ships. Then they head off back to New Mobotropolis. Knuckles, Julie-Su, and Eve wave goodbye to Sonic and the others as they fly away.
