"Amy, are you sure you saw a Chao holding the yellow chaos emerald earlier? While a Chaos Emerald hiding in the Chao Garden sounds like a unique place for it to be in, it doesn't feeling like it adds up to any of the usual places it would hide in." The Commander asked.
"Yes, Commander. We saw a Chao carrying the emerald to the Chao Gardens. By the time we got there, we didn't see the Chao anymore. We do believe the emerald might be on one of the islands." Amy replied.
"Well, if that's the case, then get to finding that emerald. Team Chaotix is already searching for the green emerald. Find the yellow one and report back to me." The Commander instructed them.
"Will do, sir." Amy shuts off.
Amy, Cream, and Big flew across the gardens using their jetpacks borrowed from G.U.N. with the sole exception of Cream due to her natural ability to fly. They mostly saw various Chaos playing and dancing in their gardens. While Amy and Big search for the Emerald, Cream sees a Dark Chao eating a Chao Fruit to increase its capabilities. Cream looked slightly over the Dark Chao and saw the yellow Chaos Emerald.
Cream flew down to the Dark Chao's location and gave it a glare of anger, knowing how capable a Dark Chao is in its acts.
"I'm giving you one chance to hand over the Chaos Emerald. Otherwise, how would you feel if I beat your face in?" Cream threatened the Dark Chao.
The Dark Chao gives a wide-eyed look of false horror. It laughed at Cream before it starts to glow. The Dark Chao start evolving into its final evolution. Cream prepares herself for the worst outcome of a Dark Chao. It comes out of its cocoon, revealing itself to be in its Devil Chao form. Cream tries to remain calm through seeing a Devil Chao in person. The Devil Chao points up, making Cream see dozens of Dark Chaos.
"Oh no." Cream spoke casually.
Amy and Big arrived in the nick of time to fight off the Dark Chaos. The Devil Chao attacks Cream, which she started to fight back against it. Cream tries to hurt the Devil Chao, but because of its attained immortality, she couldn't cause any damage to it. The Devil Chao reacted by using its Strength, Speed, and Flying capabilities against her. Cream couldn't see any of the attacks coming.
Before the Devil Chao could deal a heavy blow on her, Big pops out of nowhere and belly flops the Chao into the bottomless sky. The Devil Chao recovers quickly and charges at Big with its Strength and Speed.
"Uh, should I be worried about that?" Big asked, confused.
The Devil Chao starts pummeling Big around like a ragdoll.
"AHHH! HOW CAN A CHAO BE SO STRONG!?" Big screamed.
The Chao sends Big flying with an elbow to the back. Amy boosts at the Devil Chao and grabs out her Piko Hammer. Amy whacks the Devil Chao around with her Piko Hammer.
"We can't do anything against a Chaos Chao! It's immortal!" Cream told Amy.
"What makes you the Chao Expert?!" Amy spat at her.
"Well, I'll have you know that these Chaos can become unbelievably powerful! If anything, that Devil Chao is probably an S Rank Chao!" Cream yelled.
Suddenly, Team Rose hears voices of Hero Chaos charging at the Dark Chaos. Team Rose flew out of the way and can only watch as the Hero and Dark Chaos go to war against each other. They would clash at each other in the bottomless sky, fight in various water areas. Team Rose watched with surprise as they have never seen so many of them clashing against each other, with the sole exception of the normal Chao.
Cream, taking advantage of the whole ordeal, flew to where they first saw the Dark Chao before its evolution. When Cream grabbed the Chaos Emerald, a Dark Chao appeared out of nowhere and Arm-Locked her. Cream struggled to break free from the Dark Chao before it sees the Devil Chao flying at her, unleashing a battle cry in the chaos. Cream squeezed her eyes shut.
She heard the punch, but she wasn't hurt. When she opened her eyes, her eyes widened in joy as she sees a familiar god-like water creature.
It was Chaos himself.
Cream sees Chaos blocking the Devil Chao's punch with ease. The Devil Chao looked up in horror as he sees the god that they worshipped.
"Lord Chaos! I didn't know you were awake!" The Devil Chao spoke in a teenage voice.
Chaos gave the Devil Chao a death glare.
"OK! OK! I'm sorry! I knew Team Rose would try to take the Emerald! So I found it and took it for myself! Please, don't hurt me!" The Devil Chao begged for mercy.
Chaos lets the Devil Chao go. Team Rose sees an orange female echidna floating to Team Rose. They knew it was Tikal emerging from where she was hiding.
"We are sorry that all this happened. We had no idea that this Chao right here could cause so much mayhem." Tikal apologized.
"It's okay. We are only here for the Chaos Emerald because-" Amy tried to speak about the horrors of Earth.
"We know what's going on. I don't think we've ever dealt with an evil being like this in a long time. And it just happens to be King Arthur." Tikal closed her eyes in sorrow.
"How can such a wise king fall into evil?" Tikal asked.
"He was bewitched by the scabbard of Excalibur. That's why he became the way he is." Amy explained.
"Well, now that we've awoken from our slumber, we should take action in joining G.U.N." Tikal nodded her head.
Chaos nodded his head as well.
"We'll contact the Commander and see if he'll let you join us," Big agreed with them.
Amy activates the watch on her wrist and calls the Commander. After a few moments, the Commander answers her call.
"Amy, what happened? There were multiple reports of shockwaves everywhere!" The Commander asked.
"We found the Chaos Emerald that a Dark Chao was holding for itself. We tried to settle things peacefully, but it attacked us and pretty called civil war on the Light Chaos. Thankfully, Chaos and Tikal stopped them before everything got out of control." Amy explained the ordeal.
"Chaos and Tikal?! Do they know what's going on?!" The Commander asked, surprised.
"Yeah, they only awaken during the time of crisis, and they know about King Arthur and his minions," Amy replied.
"Well, in that case, I think we should allow them to join us. We need all the help we can get if we want to defeat King Arthur." The Commander nodded his head.
"Will do, sir." Amy shuts off her watch.
"When do you think that Meteor will strike Earth?" Tikal asked.
"It'll take down Earth in 12 days. I suggest you, Chaos, and the Chao get ready." Amy replied.
"Will do." Tikal nodded her head as she, Chaos, and the Chao flew off to an unknown destination.
Team Rose boosted their jetpacks, and they flew from the Chao Gardens.
Team Chaotix rushed through a whole city where G.U.N. units and King Arthur's minions fight everything out. G.U.N. was becoming overwhelmed by the forces of the Underworld. Team Chaotix has grabbed a set of rock instruments in request from Vector, who Espio doesn't know what the plan was. They both see the center of the city where bands usually play.
The trio placed the instruments down in the center of the city.
"Vector, whatever plan you have isn't going to work!" Espio yelled.
"Espio, I understand your doubts on what we're about to do. But you have to remember we used music in the past, and we annihilated Eggman's robots because of that!" Vector sets up the giant loudspeakers he was carrying.
"That doesn't mean these instruments are going to have the same effect, if not greater!" Espio replied.
"Well, it's either this or the city's destroyed!" Charmy yelled, setting up the drums.
Espio sighed in frustration as he sets up the guitar. Vector, Espio, and Charmy all set their instruments to max volume. They both observed the chaos before them and nodded to each other.
Through Fire - Doubt
Espio starts playing the guitar, gaining the attention of everyone in the city. Charmy starts playing the drums to make the loudspeakers boom with shockwaves. Vector taps on the microphone before putting it near his mouth and starts singing.
I won't let you drag me down. (Drag me down, drag me down)
You've turned me inside out. (Inside out, inside out)
I might bend, but I won't break. I won't lay down, not this way.
I won't give up without a fight. Just when everything is going right!
You keep telling me what I'm never going to be!
Oh, oh!
I'm not listening and won't believe your lies!
Not this time!
The song that they are playing attracted the G.U.N. army and King Arthur's minions. They were all confused about what they were planning. One of them got agitated by the music and charged at Team Chaotix. Instead, the shockwave emitted from the loudspeaker, incinerating the minion. Both armies reacted with shock as King Arthur's minions attacked Team Chaotix.
"Killing them with music!? That is some Bullcrap right there!" A G.U.N. soldier commented.
You're the voice in my head when I'm at my weakest!
You're the ache in my chest, and I hate to feel this!
Hey Doubt, there's no doubt. I'm here to prove you wrong!
You're dead to me now! I'm done living with this doubt!
The shockwaves boomed at a minimum range as King Arthur's minions charged at Team Chaotix, but always resulting in them getting incinerated. The G.U.N. army stared at the event in front of them, appalled. They all turned to see more minions running and flying at them. Vector, Espio, and Charmy looked at each other with smiles and banging their heads to the music.
"We have to protect Team Chaotix! It's the only chance we have at winning!" One of the G.U.N. soldiers screamed.
Hey doubt, you're back again. (Back again, back again)
Just when I thought I was over it (Over it, over it)
You show your face, I know it well.
You're turning me against myself.
You place your hands around my neck.
And now I feel you stealing every breath!
As you're telling me what I'm never going to be!
But in the end, you'd be nothing more than a memory in time! When I say goodbye!
As Team Chaotix continues to play the song, the shockwaves from the Loudspeakers become louder and bigger. The G.U.N. army sees a Giant holding the Green Chaos Emerald in hand. The G.U.N. army started shooting at the Giants, only for their bullets to do nothing against its armor-like exterior. A Tank rolls out of nowhere and fired a missile at the creature. All it got out of it was its left arm blown off and half of its torso missing.
"Team Chaotix! That Giant has the Chaos Emerald. We don't know if we can get it off its hands! But we may need backup now!" A G.U.N. soldier called out to them.
You're the voice in my head when I'm at my weakest!
You're the ache in my chest and I hate to feel this!
Hey doubt, hey doubt! I'm going to prove you wrong!
Hold on, hold on! I've listened for too long!
You're dead to me now! I'm done living with this doubt!
The shockwaves from the loudspeakers reach maximum rate as King Arthur's minions get incinerated by the music. The G.U.N. army attempted to shoot down the Giant holding the Chaos Emerald. The Giant powers through the bullets and missiles.
The tank that shot the Giant was easily carried and thrown into the sky. The Giant threw its ax at the unmanned tank and sliced it in two.
"THAT WAS OUR LAST TANK!" A G.U.N. soldier screamed in fear.
"Team Chaotix! You need to finish the song right now! We can't hold the Giant off any longer!" Another soldier yelled out to them.
I'm not giving in, won't let you win, going to push you out!
I'm not giving in, won't let you win! It's over now!
The Giant approaches Team Chaotix, struggling through the shockwaves. Vector, Espio, and Charmy see the Giant holding the Chaos Emerald. They nodded to each other to finish the song.
You're the voice in my head when I'm at my weakest!
You're the ache in my chest, and I hate to feel this!
Hey doubt, hey doubt, I'm going to prove you wrong!
Hold on, hold on, I've listened for too long!
You're dead to me now! I'm done living with doubt!
The Giant slowly gets incinerated as he tried to punch Team Chaotix. As the arms of the Giant disintegrate, the Chaos Emerald falls out.
I'm done living with this doubt!
I'm done living with this!
I'm done living with this!
I'm done living with this doubt!
You're dead to me now! I'm done living with this doubt!
Vector holds the green Chaos Emerald in the air, ending the song with Team Chaotix with their poses. The G.U.N. army cheered in their victory. Vector's watch rang as he received a call from The Commander. Vector activates his watch to communicate with him.
"Vector, what was all that music?" The Commander asked, confused about what just went down.
"Oh, that. Well, we had to improvise to defend the city against King Arthur's minions. And low behold, it worked, sir!" Vector explained the ordeal.
"You mean to tell me that you could use music to stop King Arthur's minions? You know what, forget I asked." King Arthur said, unable to believe what he heard.
"Did you at the very least get the Chaos Emerald?" The Commander asked.
"Yeah, we got it right here, sir! Now, what about the other three emeralds?" Vector asked.
"I'll get into that once you arrive back at base. Regroup with the other teams." The Commander replied.
"Roger that!" Vector nodded his head as he deactivated his watch.
As the G.U.N. army continued to cheer on Team Chaotix, Vector, Espio, and Charmy walked from the city.
"By the way, you owe me 100 rings for doubting us, Espio!" Vector smirked at him.
"Yeah, yeah..." Espio brushed his comment off as the three walked into the distance.
