O.N: and we're at the climax...or we're near the climax check back with me at the end readers i am the OverNerd king of the hill called Team X-Over this will be our last play by play cause we're hiring a mascot.
GT: Yep. But, uh...it is a difficult process we're performing on that. *motions to the line of people outside* Interviews and all that.
Z0: Oh wait that's what the mascot will do...huh you know that would cut back on our talk bits. Oh well less work for me...
Sonic was strumming his guitar and singing as everyone regrouped and started to sing.
"Inochi aru bokura wa eien nado nai
Ikiru imi wo motomete samayoi tsudzukeru
Tatoe seikai janakute mo tada mae dake mitsumete
Mirai wo michibiku kibō wakachiatte
Teru mī yami ni kieta kioku sagashiterunda
Ai fīru yuā furēmu kimi no shōdō hikari tsuranuke
Onaji itami kanjite-itai
Wantsūsurī... Wantsūsurī... wizu sōru! I~ē! I~ē!
Kamu wizu mī, kamu wizu mī, gō fōwādo"
"Sonic we're trying to think here!" Tusk complained.
"Onaji itami!"
"Sonic's amazing singing talent aside..." Yamato pushed forward.
"Amazing? It's godly," Sonic stopped for a second. "I'm gonna call this one 'Go Forward.'"
"Chaos is four emeralds away from his true form. We are in dire straights," Tikal frowned.
"Gomen, Yamato-nii chan..Roll-nee chan...I thought that Raiju was Miyuki-nee san." Haseo pouted, blaming himself for losing their Chaos Emerald.
"It's okay, Haseo-chan. I know you have a stuffy nose right now from the pollen count," Roll assured.
"So what? We'll seal him if we have to."
"No, you can't! The more Chaos Emeralds he gets, the stronger he becomes. Once all seven are obtained, nothing can seal him!" she said, "You are all powerful in your own right but the seven Chaos Emeralds will create a being not even all of you can stop."
"How does that work? We're Mobians and run on the same power." Tusk said.
"No, your not. None of the Zyuohgers are using Chaos Energy." she explained. "Yamato is the prime proof of that."
"Eh? Yamato-san?" Roll repeated.
"Ah!" Amu blinked. "Earlier!"
"Ear….Oh, that weird reaction Chaos had." Tusk blinked.
"Yamato's energy went into the Emeralds...and caused them to go nuts. I'm sure if he had all seven, we'd be nuked." Leo pointed out.
"The same energy Yamato has is in all of the Zyuohgers. Chaos went after him because he has the biggest." she said. "However, Chaos is using negative Chaos Energy and that why the reaction was so violent."
"Chaos runs on Chaos Energy." Yamato spoke, "So does the Zyuoh Changer run on...Zyuoh Energy?"
"An explanation for when you're all truly ready." she said, sensing something, "I feel Chaos is moving...and I sense two Emeralds"
"Hey, guys! Two Emeralds are on the move!" Tails panicked.
"Wow! Who has two Emeralds?"
"Crap crap crap crap!" Manic panicked while running away. "I just stole one!"
"Get back here and gimmie that emerald!" the chinchilla of the Dark Legion roared, Moebas following after her.
"Why did it have to be the creepy one!?" Manic shouted before Sonic and Roll spin dashed into her Moebas. "Hey bro, hey Sis-in-law."
"Manic-nii," Roll greeted with a smile.
"Ack!" the Chinchilla stopped at seeing them. The enemy then all paled as a large figure stood behind them.
"Please...go home." ZyuohGorilla spoke as he snorted a gust of wind, pushing the Moebas away.
"We don't have a home for Lord Eggman!" Thunderbolt shouted before the Moebas grabbed her and ran.
"Hm," Gorilla grunted at seeing them leave.
"Sup, Yamato?" Manic smiled.
"Manic-san, you found two Chaos Emeralds?" Gorilla asked turning to him and stomping over.
"Found? I stole this one recently and I had the other one since we been here."
"...what?" they all asked in a deadpan.
"Yeah. Stole it. Pretty easy too."
"...Manic...WHERE exactly did you steal it from?" Sonic slowly asked.
"It'd help to know is all." Gorilla added to what Sonic was saying to keep the situation very calm and delicate.
"SPD. Some guys were using this one to make a battery, and this baby, well...I don't kiss and tell."
"Bro, hand those over."
"How much?"
"...what?"
"What's it worth to you guys?"
"...Oh My God…" Sonic groaned in english.
"Umm, Manic-san, we don't have any big money…"
"Then information."
"What? Information?" Gorilla asked confused, "Like how Roll always finds Sonic information...or?"
"Here's what I want: you want these priceless Emeralds. I'll take in exchange a place no one has gone to and stolen from and made it out alive."
"Oh…?" Gorilla asked as the Mobians all turned to him. "Well...there might be one place…" he awkwardly chuckled.
"Then details, man, details! ...I think I hear the sirens going off~"
"Ugh…" Gorilla sighed, "Well...that depends...you got a means to cross the ocean or would you like a place closer?" he asked.
"Trust me. I have my ways."
"Area 51." he spoke.
"Hubba wha?"
"Area 51. It exists." Gorilla explained.
"I thought that was a thing you humans just made up!?"
"Well...I found it." he chuckled, "Ehem...I'll tell you where it is and even fly you there."
"Nah. I like the challenge. You gave me a name, so here's your Emeralds." he spoke while tossing them to Gorilla and Sonic.
"It shocks me how good you are at this." Sonic told Gorilla.
"Like I said...I have books on how to handle you guys." he whispered as Manic left.
"Oh...well Manic's lucky sis and mom aren't here right now, otherwise...eh heh...trust me. It wouldn't be pretty."
"This also saved us a lot of time," Gorilla nodded while reverting to Eagle.
"Hai!" Roll agreed.
"Where is Sonia-san, by the way?" Eagle pondered
"She went with Knuckles to help him find the Master Emerald."
"Are you sure it's here…?" Sonia groaned, looking at the swamp they had to cross.
"I feel it," Knuckles explained honestly. "Besides, it's just a little dirt."
"That's a lot of dirt and what if there are underwater fish monsters there?!"
"What?" he asked, "Oh come on. This is not like that movie we saw with Yamato." he complained, "A fishman is not gonna crawl out and go after the prettiest girl it sees...which by default is you...but still! That's a movie. Yamato made it clear that it was just a guy in a rubber suit."
"BRAH!" a roar spooked them as something arose covered in swamp water.
"AHH!" Knuckles and Sonia screamed while hugging each other.
"Get out of my swamp, you pretty city dwellers!"
"Sure, sure! Anything you…" Knuckles then blinked, "Wait a second... I know that voice… Sticks?"
"Sticks?" Sonia repeated.
"Hm? Wait a second...Knuckles!" the creature said while wiping her face, revealing an orange and brown badger's face beneath.
"You're alive? We saw the Silver Sonic stomp on you!" Knuckles gawked.
"Oh that? Pfft! It just stomped me into a mud patch."
"How did you end up here on the Human World then?"
"Oh! Well, I was hunting for lunch and then a mouth opened in the sky and suck me in! The sky tried to eat me!"
"Okay. So, yeah, she got sucked into the cube with everyone else." Knuckles muttered, "Wait...how have you survived out here all this time?! There are no cities or towns for miles!"
"Ahahahaha! Come to my house." she replied while walking up to a tree with a door on it.
"I have to stop asking questions around her…" Knuckles breathed slowly as they followed and found a home looking like the fanciest suite hotel room money could buy, "...Say wha?"
"What? I just found the stuff," Sticks shrugged, "Even whittled and made a few...though I had to make sure they weren't watchin'."
"They?" Sonia repeated.
"The evil rock aliens!"
"The Deathgaliens?" Knuckles raised a brow.
"Yes! The blue rocky one wanted my stuff," she said, "Especially my lighrtblub." she pointed...at the Master Emerald.
"...I...have several questions…." Sonia muttered, feeling a headache form, "I'm calling everyone."
"I'm gonna go find a boulder to bash my head in with…" Knuckles added.
"In the closet," Sticks pointed.
"Not cool! Everyone knows Sticks died," Tails frowned on video as Sonia's Miles Electric was taken.
=Ooga booga ooga!=
"EEK!" Haseo screamed as he hid behind Aphrodite, his fur poofing up as he shivered.
"I'm...I'm...I'm gonna go invent a device to help me take back stupid comments." Tails groaned, "How?!"
"What's going on?" Amu asked.
"Sticks is alive."
"Wait...you guys didn't know?" Amu blinked.
"...Amu-chan, sweetie, beloved Shield Daughter, please explain to us how you learned she was alive and why you never told us," Aphrodite asked, brush out as she began to tend to Haseo's fluffed up fur.
"I found out last month when she was digging into Yamato's trash," Amu explained, "She said you'd all seen her do this before, so I assumed you all saw her already."
"...Amu-chan, what do we always say about assuming things?" Aphrodite asked.
"That it makes an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'..." Amu sighed, "Right...grounded...I'm off…" she sighed sarcastically, "Seriously it's Sticks. It's not like rules always account for her…"
"Amu, she was stomped to death by a giant Silver Sonic. We all saw it!" Tusk snapped.
"And again, it was not silver. It was titanium. Far more durable," Tails shook his head.
"Yeah, well... So is Sonic and we never assume it."
"It's true…" Tails muttered.
=Correction; he stomped me into a mud patch...a lot. Good thing I can hold my breath for a very long time. I woke up on my birthday= Sticks pointed out
"Okay!" Tails spoke up, "Let us consult the rules for this...and…" he checked his device, "Change the subject before we end up spending a whole day questioning one single thing she's done. This will be the holiday party all over again otherwise." he spoke as most everyone shuddered at the memory.
=Also, she has the Master Emerald and not handing it over= Sonia added.
"...Yeah, I'm done with today," Tails groaned as he threw his hands up.
"Should we go see her?" Yamato asked.
"Well, one: I'd rather avoid Sticks; 2: We need the Master Emerald secured; 3: who knows if Chaos or the Deathgaliens might go after it."
=The blocky blue rock alien tried, but I sent him flying off on a firework!=
"I...but...we...and Yamato...and Gorilla…" Tails sputtered, "Nope! I need a break! " he shouted before walking off, "Nicole, get the work room ready!"
"Minna, let's go check on your friend… It's best to keep the Emeralds all there in one spot...and besides, we can't risk Chaos breaking this place apart," Yamato admitted.
"You still owe me new electronics in the kitchen…" Roll grumbled.
"Azald, how did we find you floating in space with a rocket taped to your back?" Ginis asked curiously.
"That is a good question...I don't know," he replied.
"You're still an idiot, but we need you."
"Ginis-sama, I tried to find a recording, but our video feed of where Quval calculated he came from is jammed," Naria informed, walking up to Ginis with a security camera...covered in purple jelly.
"Ooh...grape," Ginis spoke, poking the jelly and tasting it, "Well...I guess we'll never know what happened. Anyway how is the Dark Legion doing?"
"We lost track of two Emeralds when Gorilla scared off the chibi," Quval explained. "We've also lost track of Chaos himself."
"Oh unfortunate, but oh well. Track the two they have and send someone more competent. Bring up the list just to be safe. You did rank it by IQ and skills, right?"
"Yes...very much yes." Quval spoke.
"Excellent." Ginis said as a list formed from his left arm rest, "Let's go with...the two big ones." he chuckled, "And to be safe, let us send the sneaky one."
"Shall I send an Egg B...correction. A Dark Legion Grand Master with one each?"
"Grand Master?"
"Lien-Da told me more about the Dark Legion before the fat idiot changed it to Egg Army."
"No, I just want a Gift prepared," he said, "And do it fast. I am so excited to see Chaos's perfect form."
"FACE SNATCHERS!" Sticks roared while attacking Leo, Sela, Tusk, and Amu, "You give my friend's faces and lives back!"
"Gah! Why does she always go for the mane?!" Leo panicked as he tried to pull Sticks out.
"Sticks-chan, darling, I can explain this in two simple words," Aphrodite informed, earning Stick's attention as she was biting the top of Tusk's head, "...Magic cubes."
"Oh…" Sticks spoke between mouthfuls of Tusk's head before letting it go, "Okay. Why didn't you guys say before you had magic cubes that hide you as Eggman copies?"
"Grr…." Tsuk growled, his eye twitching violently.
"You guys should be like mi amigo Larry," she smiled, "I wish he wasn't out of town right now."
"Your friends with Ossan?" Leo blinked.
"Yeah. Those are his books. We ran into each other two weeks ago and I moved him in." she said, "Apparently he had a freak out and ruined his hut. Can you believe that?"
"Ahhaha…" Yamato chuckled, remembering the reason why.
"Come to think of it...this guy has the same feel as Lary…" she lingered on Yamato for a moment, "What is he? Some kind of pet?"
"Iie, iie, iie. This is Yamato-san. Like you did with Larry-san, he's letting us stay in his home," Roll explained.
"...He's not like Eggman is he?"
"Nope. The complete opposite," Tusk replied.
"He's my buddy!" Leo roared, wrapping an arm over Yamato's shoulders.
"Plus look at this face. Eggman is so far away from his level of looks that it's weird." Amu spoke, squishing his face, "Plus he's just oh so…"
"We get it, Amu…" Sela deadpanned.
"Ike, Amu-chan, ike!" Aphrodite cheered.
"You can cheer her on after we save the world," Sela complained.
"...Where's Tails? Trying to hide from that nine tailed stalker of his?"
"Sister."
"Huh?"
"Turns out that she was his big sister."
"...I'm not buying it."
"Magic cube," Sonic deadpanned.
"Yes, that makes sense, but magic cubes don't create siblings. Silly Sonic," she pouted, "Oh, purple lady was here a few days ago."
"...Nicole?" Tusk asked.
"No, she's binary lady. I'm talking about the one who got Sonic and the others when the flying goose delivered them as crying midgets."
"MOM!?" Sonic and Sonia exclaimed, "WHERE'D SHE GO?!"
"Mmm hmm...Last I heard, she was following after a Lemur with a really stretchy tail...oh, and hiding a shiny."
"Huh?" they all blinked.
"A...shiny?"
"Yeah. A shiny….I SAW IT FIRST!"
"We'll get you a new shiny." Yamato offered, "But we need you to help us find the first one. So...will you please help us?"
"Hmm... Are you gonna force me to take a bath?"
"I'd like you to...but I guess it's your choice in the end." Yamato sighed, "I won't make you, and make sure no one else does as well. But we really need to find this item first. So...the faster we get it, the faster you can be happy no one will ever force you again."
"LET'S GO, TEAM STICKS!" Sticks cheered, jumping out a window.
"Amu, Leo, you're with me. Sonic...he's already gone, isn't he?"
"So is Roll and Aphrodite."
"Right. Anyway, everyone else? Stay here and protect the Chaos Emeralds and Master Emerald."
"Oh! Almost forgot. If you see the rock aliens, just jump on the barrels in the basement," Sticks informed, her head poking out of the window before going back out.
"Go with it…" Yamato sighed.
"I will complain the whole damn time!" Tusk shouted as he left.
"You can count on me and Tusk," Sela assured, she then whipped around as everyone swore they heard the actual crack of a whip, "Anyone messes this up...I will eat. your. face…" she frowned at the others as they all nodded rapidly in fear.
'I'm glad that Aphrodite asked Nicole and Tails to keep Haseo with them,' Tusk thought.
"Okay, that's the sixth one detected," Tails noted, "Nicole, Haseo, any luck on the seventh?"
=Stop tickling me, babies= Nicole told Kirin and Mogura.
"Please stop, minna," Haseo pleaded as he gently picked up the two Cubes before they jumped onto his shoulders to nuzzle him, making him giggle.
"Those little guys sure love being affectionate." Tails noted, "All of them...I wonder how use they actually are to others?" he muttered to himself.
"Well in my day, they used to spend all day and night in giant form." Tikal said, appearing next to him. "To keep appearance as royal gods."
"AHH! Stop that!" he shouted, trying to calm his sudden rise in heart rate, "I'm too young for this sort of stuff…"
"So why didn't you say anything to mom, Sticks?"
"Hmm? Well, she was yelling a lot. Even seemed mad the stretchy tail was following her, livid even!"
"That doesn't sound good." Yamato added, "We need to hurry and see what this is about."
"Come on, Sticks. Mom is super kind, Why would she…"
"'I can't believe I'm back on this stupid world'...direct quote," Sticks told them, "Well...not fully direct. She said some things that she said I couldn't repeat when she realized I was there."
"I'm sure it's nothing that bad…" Yamato offered as Sticks stopped, "Why are we stopping here?"
"Okay. Here she talked to a ghost man!"
"Ghost man?" Amu paled.
"GHOST! Come out here and fight Leo!"
"Ghost man seemed very polite to her, and she called him..hmm...Sora...Ventus….Ski?"
"Sticks-san?" Yamato asked as she was now lost in her own little world, muttering names that seemed related to the sky. How she got the Kingdom Hearts names he'll never know.
"Minna!" a yellow blur called out as it halted, revealing Roll with Aphrodite on her back, "We didn't see any sign of her."
"Sky!" Sticks pointed, "She was talking to a Sky!"
"...Okay, I think we ran into a part we might misinterpret," Aphrodite noted as she got off her daughter's back.
"Sticks began babbling about a ghost guy with a name related to the sky." Leo summed up.
"She also said Aleena-sama was angry at being here." Amu added.
"Angry? Why? This place is so nice, aside from the aliens," Aphrodite wondered.
"I swear that's not that big a deal normally," Yamato added referring to the alien part.
"Sky, come out you ghost man! Be polite!"
"SKY COME OUT! LEO'S GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!" Leo roared before a spoonful of peanut butter was introduced to the roof of his mouth, "Nah...nah…" he muttered as he began slowly licking it away as his tail wagged about.
"I'm so confused…" Yamato spoke as he walked forward past everyone.
=King Credentials detected. Welcome back, Queen or King of Mobius= a cybernetic monotone voice spoke from all around them.
"Hai?" Yamato blinked as he pulled his Zyuoh Changer and held it up.
=Hey wait a second...You're not Queen Aleena, but you have a Credential...Ahh, you must be a guardian or the new king...I wonder how long I've been on sleep mode= the voice spoke in a more person like emotional tone, but still a little robot like, at that a light from various trees projected a young sunkissed blond Hedgehog with a cluster of his quills covering his left eye. The Hedgehog appeared to be around eighteen with reddish-brown eyes and wore a labcoat over a red t-shirt and blue jeans while a pair of sandals nestled under his feet.
"Kimi wa…?" Yamato asked stepping towards the hologram.
=Skye Sakurai...Well, his eighteen year old self digitally stored as the hidden vault 13 AI= the Hedgehog greeted =Yo~!=
"Sakurai?" Yamato repeated.
"...E-Eh?!" everyone except for Roll and Aphrodite exclaimed.
"O-Otou-san?" Roll gaped.
"Sora-kun…" Aphrodite gasped.
=Hm? Now how did you know my pet name from A...Wait a second. Aphrodite? Oh my goodness! I didn't recognize you for a moment there! You look prettier than the day I was made by the original scanning of his brain and DNA sample turned into data=
"Skye-san?" Yamato spoke, getting the AI's attention.
=Yes, new king and or guardian? Seriously, are you the king or guardian? Those thing are a pain=
"Yamato...my name is Yamato. And...I'm a human, so I'm not sure I can be either. But...this device granted me power to save my world...and my friends'. So...Guardian is the best you can categorize me." he explained, "But, we don't have as much time to talk as I think would be desired."
=Right, right, right. Hold on...checking security cams and...Wow. YouTube, huh? Hold on...Okay, I got caught up. Thank you for livestreaming those giant robot battles. Really helped= he said with a thumb up to Roll, =The Internet was not as advance as when flesh me made me, but it was something he calculated for. Anywho, I know you're a human. Before I was made, Aleena and Original Me had been here like a 100 times=
"You have?" Yamato asked, "Later...later." he shook his head, "We have reason to believe Queen Aleena hid a Chaos Emerald here."
=Ack! A-buh-buh-buh!= Skye hushed as he looked at the sky before flipping a finger =We have spies in the air=
"Well...How rude," Quval huffed.
"The computer is overheating…" Azald spoke before an explosion from the wall obliterated him, his head rolled around for a moment, "Computer blew up!"
=Also, ohh I love to help, but I got a problem. Original me had to put in strict programming: anyone looking for a Emerald, I must memory wipe...but my wife is with you, so free pass!= Skye gave a thumbs up before looking her over =...Oh. I...How long?=
"Huh?" Amu blinked.
=Her body's stance at the moment and the way she was looking at me earlier= Skye explained =The original passed on, so seeing me…=
"Oh…" Yamato spoke as he understood as well.
"Twelve years, sixteen days, and thirty eight hours," Roll informed.
=Well, that's...pretty accurate= Skye blinked twice before looking her over =...Is this...did Original and you have a daughter? Hoo! Look at you! You are...wow. All your pain receptors are on overdrive. What did you mess with?=
"Pain receptors?" Yamato asked at that.
"I'll explain later," Roll replied.
=Right, right right. Stupid aliens are watching us= Skye nodded =Okay! Time to do some 'magic'!= he cracked his knuckles before whistling and the group vanished before appearing inside a large storage room =Warp pads...I just love 'em=
"Ugh...I know…" Aphrodite groaned.
=Bathroom is to your right. Sorry, divine goddess of my original self, forgot you get sick from those=
"Blarg!" Leo shouted from behind a crate, "Oh...I did eat the last chicken...sorry!"
=Aw come on! I just said where the bathroom were! Who do you think you are? Captain Quark and Ratchet at the end of the movie?=
"It's all good! Leo can clean this up no problem!" he laughed.
"Yamato look." Amu said holding up a photo of Bud, Larry, Skye and Aleena in front of Mount Rushmore.
"Bud-san?" Yamato gawked, seeing the image of a younger red feathered Bud.
=Captain of the Guard and good speed chess player. Say, did we ever break that tie we had? Last I know, it was 1088 to 1088= Skye pondered, rubbing his chin.
"I don't know. He hasn't exactly had the time to talk about you," Yamato spoke.
"He keeps poofing in and out of our lives and being a badass swordsmen," Leo spoke, having returned.
=Ooh...If he's doing that, then the bad board happened= Skye cringed.
"Bad what?"
=Original me wrote up calculations on all kinds of probabilities and I kept it going until I went into Sleep Mode=
"Chaos is awake," Yamato explained.
=Is he a good thing or wanting to destroy the world?=
"He tried eating Yamato," Leo deadpanned.
=Okay! We're still on bad board then! So you're here for a Chaos Emerald that was stashed in here, then= he said, clapping his hands together, =I really want to, but I can't=
"Why?" Amu asked.
=Security measures that original me put into place without Aleena's knowledge to put the bad board onto the good board path=
"Uh…" the two feline Mobians blinked confused.
"He has a plan to help," a voice spoke, spooking the others as Bud walked in.
=BUDDY!= Skye cheered before Bud's blade pierced his forehead =Hologram~!=
"Damn it...I hate when you did that while alive...Now you can do it all the damn time," he grumbled, taking his sword back, "Oh well...This is good...for once. Leaving the one here with AI Skye means Chaos and the Deathgaliens can't get to it."
=And you slapped my daughter with the blade= Skye noted.
"Oi, I had a good reason." he countered.
=Which is why I'm not whipping the BFG 9000 on your bum!=
"How did you get in here?" Leo asked.
"I live here," he revealed, "Also, I scrapped that thing the moment you left...you think I'm letting you leave a deadly thing like that on Earth?"
=What did you do to it?=
"I turned it into a new blender."
=...Phew. That''s a relief. I was worried you threw it into a dump truck. That would've been catastrophic for the environment!=
"What am I, an idiot? I read instruction manuals." Bud complained, "I lived for a decade in peace 'till the ghost showed up...and now I'm back in university with you in the same dorm all over again!"
=You loved it and you know it. Especially when I shared the bento 'Dite-chan sent=
"Her godly cooking aside…" Bud muttered.
"We have questions…" Amu brought up.
"And I wish I cared...but I must say I'm glad Aleena, for all her life of mistakes, made a good choice."
=Yeah…=
"Oh, don't give me that look!" Bud snapped.
=Not why…=
"Your wife is behind me, isn't she?" he sighed lowering his head.
=Yep, but she doesn't have her rolling pin out, so you're safe=
"Good god! This is university all over again…" Bud grumbled.
"You two went to school together?" Yamato blinked.
"Manner of speaking…" Bud grumbled.
=We did! Buddy and I…= sword impaled his gut =Still hologram~= the sword was pulled out =...were roommates!=
"I thought he was an idiot at first…" Bud spoke.
=Then I proved him wrong when I started a bar fight and broke the legs of everyone, made them all traumatised of spoons, and would cry like little babies at the sound of someone whistling skip to my loo my darling all with basic calculations=
"...I needed to develop a high tolerance for rum…" Bud added.
"Can someone please give me a answer and what my mom was doing here?!" Sonic demanded.
=Oh sure. Jules, begin playback= Skye called as a hologram of Aleena walked in.
=Skye, wake up!= she snapped.
=*yawn* Oh hey Al= he smiled =What brings you here? Huh...Did you gain weight?= a rock was thrown at between his legs =Hologram~=
=I want this Chaos Emerald seal tightly and you're the only one I can trust. Also only one person can call me Al and you're married to her=
=Yes, yes I did. Now let's see what I've got for plans on storing Chaos Emeralds…Considering you brought it here, you don't want it detected through any means=
=Skye, I don't need your techno babble. I just want at least one out of the picture so no one, especially the Earthlings, find it=
=Okay, first they're called Humans, get the terminology right. And second, are you still mad about what happened?=
"Mad about what happened?" Yamato whispered to himself.
=Don't bring that up! Bud is already on my case about it and he stole from me= she went on.
"Tsk…" Bud looked away at that as he gripped his arm.
=Oh scenario 13...got you= he gulped =Okay... Just don't dump it in that trash can=
=Why not th…=
=It's actually an emergency rocket to Mars that will immediately return if it doesn't detect any lifeform inside of it upon landing, crash landing in Roswell, Mexico of the United States of America=
=What?=
=Okay. Look, I could go over it again, but I get the feeling if I do, you'll break stuff...so...how about I tell you something you want to hear...and you don't break something that's more or less part of me=
=Jokes on her. Original me didn't put them where she thinks they are= Skye chuckled.
=Just get this Emerald out of here. I need to leave and hide. My kids and your wife are safe in a human home. They'll be fine=
=Kay! But, uh...where is the Original?=
=Still on Mobius=
=Ah...=
"Well...it's not a lie…" Bud muttered to the hologram.
=I know. Still gonna initiate Protocol Ex on her though=
"...She knew where we were this whole time…" Aphrodite frowned.
=Yep. And judging by your increased heart rate and blood pressure, I am so glad I am initiating Protocol Ex on her=
"Skye…" Bud spoke, getting his attention, "Before you do, buy her time by YouTube searching addictive comedy videos."
=...Ooh~! You are evil~!= Skye chuckled =She hates comedy videos that are addictive. Sending her SMG4 videos! ALL OF 'EM!=
"And give me her location please," Aphrodite smiled but Skye saw a demon behind her.
=Um...S-Sorry, beloved dove of the oceans, but she made sure Original me made it that if she had to go into hiding, that I could not reveal her location if she's in one of the bunkers= Skye gulped, hiding behind Bud =Protect me, Captain of the Guard Bud=
"..." Bud looked back and forth before groaning, "I know where she went." he revealed before stopping everyone, "Before you ask...yes I hate her...and no, it wasn't so I could kill her...but so if I need something from her...to blackmail her cooperation. But I will give you that information...provided you never barge into my house again."
=...Aw man~You broke the tie, didn't you?=
"I distracted you by pointing out she was wearing the black lace."
"What?!"
=Yeah, that would distract me. Always a sucker for black lace=
"Now wait a m…" Aphrodite began.
"Look, I'll tell you. And you can come...talk to this goober whenever you want...but give me heads up. I...have certain habits I do when alone," Bud spoke.
=Oh, you mean like when I walked in on you m…= Skye began.
"I know where your image core is hidden and will tell her what happened that day!"
=Shutting up=
"They have such a fast pace…" Yamato spoke.
"I know, right?" Sonic nodded.
"Come to think of it...why don't I just stick you in a watch and give you to your wife again?" Bud asked.
=...=
"...Skye…"
=Crate 557-B. It's the hot pink one with her name engraved on the underside=
"Good God, man! Is there anything you're not ready for?!" Bud snapped.
=Yes= Skye replied =While I can calculate probabilities, some methods to prevent those are impossible= the bathroom door exploded =Such as full-proofing for a God of Water that is now a God of Destruction=
"Leo didn't do it!" Leo panicked.
"Next time I hide out in a place with an AI of my former roommate...I'm making sure meddling kids can't find it…"
=Oh, I have one of those bunkers for that= Skye noted.
"Skye, we're moving!" Bud shouted as Chaos 3 punched him through a wall.
=Oh, it must feel the Emerald on a Mystical Level...I hate Mystical Stuff...so hard to counter without more of it… 'Dite-chan, did Original me stop hating Mystical Stuff or grew to tolerate it?=
"He did," Aphrodite replied before ducking a crack of Chaos' tail, "Eep!"
=I'll direct you to the exit! The ones that can use the cubes to change into suits of power, please do so!= Skye ordered.
"Rah!" Zyuoh Gorilla shouted while tackling Chaos through several walls.
"Not...the...best...of ideas…" Bud grunted, "Yamato has yet to master his Gorilla form enough to turn off Yasei Kaihou."
"Wait...Yamato's gorilla form is like that 'cause he can't turn off its full power?" Amu asked.
"Obviously. Didn't you see him skinny as the mask and symbol changed for 10 seconds?"
"God damn eagle eyes."
=I know, right!= before Gorilla was sent flying back as Chaos looked around as if sniffing the air, =Oh, he actually sniffs for it...weird=
"Dear, directions please~"
=Keep going down that aisle and break left now!=
"Go! Go!" Bud shouted as he stabbed Chaos and pinned him to a wall before Zyuoh Gorilla pulled Chaos down to the floor.
"We got him!" Gorilla shouted, "AH!" he cried as Chaos swung him around and smacked him on the ground repeatedly, "We don't got him…"
"Yamato...please save that for when we actually have him, where the shark and elephant?"
"Protecting the other two emeralds."
"...wait. You have two, but he came here for just the one…" Bud blinked, "Skye!-!-!-!-!"
=Uh-oh! That's his 'I'mma kill him!' angry shout! We need to move! Bud is gonna be murderous levels of angry!= Skye panicked.
"Shut up and try and figure out why it would come for one emerald and not the other two that me and Yamato aren't near."
"What are we? Chopped liver?" Amu and Sonic deadpanned.
"I'll make you into some!" Bud snapped, "Now get going and do something productive!"
"B-"
"NOW!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Ahh, an angered Captain of the Guard. What else does one need for proper motivation in time for battle…" Caliburn sighed whimsically.
"So since we kinda have a moment…" Amu spoke as they all ran away from the fighting, "What was Bud's job anyway?" she asked the Skye AI.
=Captain of the Guard. Yeesh. He was the guy in charge of protecting Aleena. Had his own entire wing of the castle with his guards where he'd beat them all to a pulp, let them recover, then repeat it until they couldn't get beaten to a pulp so dang fast=
"Yeesh...I bet if he didn't like humans so dang much, things would have been different…" Leo muttered.
=Maybe, but that's in the past. The future is what needs to be looked at= Skye shrugged =Oh, and loudmouthed lion? Punch to the right=
"RAH!" Leo punched, getting his arm stuck in a crate, "...Uh…"
=Trust me. You'll need that crate stuck on your arm. Oh! Blue guy, I need something very specific=
"What?"
=That prosthetic leg up there= Skye pointed at a crate with a prosthetic leg sticking out of it at a very very high shelf covered in oil from a broken olive oil crate =And based off surveillance video from SPD satellites, you are the only one fast enough to climb up the oiled bars=
"Oh boy…" Sonic muttered as he ran the opposite way, up the wall and ceiling and essentially taking the long way around instead, "Done!"
"Why did you need that?" Amu asked.
=Hm? Oh, I didn't. I just wanted to know if he'd actually do that= Skye snickered.
"What?!"
"Oh, dear…" Aphrodite tried hard to not giggle.
=A-thank you. Thank you very much= skye bowed...before the fake leg was thrown through him =Still a hologram, blue boy=
"I will stick you in a real old computer, dude!" Sonic laughed, "I'm talking dial up old!"
=Oh ho~! Sneaky…= Skye chuckled before a watery claw shot into another crate =...And he just got the Emerald=
"WHAT?!" everyone shouted, throwing random stuff at the hologram before Chaos 3 lit up light a christmas tree as electricity engulfed it.
=...Which is store inside of a device that is currently generating enough amps and volts to short circuit the entire United States and blow up all their electronics=
"You...ugh...sneaky bastard…" Bud grunted, spitting up water.
Chaos soon started to tear the crate open.
=Huh. Weird...it should be stunned=
"Ahahaha! Leo's thunder is stronger!"
"Leo not now." Amu complained, "No wait! Yes now!" she said, picking him up with ease and tossing him into Chaos and away from the case for the Emerald.
=Punch with the crate!=
"RIGHT!" Leo's fist collided with Chaos's face, shattering the crate and engulfing Chaos in grey powder, "...That did nothing!" Chaos prepared to whip Leo before he froze in place, "Huh?"
=Instant dry cement! Just add water! Now someone grab the Emerald and book it!=
"Sonic! Go long!" Leo shouted, holding the container like a football.
"Okay!" he smirked as Leo tossed it, Sonic ran after it and caught it mid air before running off. After a few moments, he returned, "And hidden!"
Cracks formed on Chaos 3's form before it shattered. Chaos 3 narrowed its eyes at them before tilting its head up. It slithered off back to the bathroom before they heard a flush.
=And it's going after it by 'sniffing' for it. Dang mystical energy mumbo jumbo shtick…I will defeat you one day, magic!=
"How?" Bud asked bluntly.
=...Okay, make that another thing I haven't planned for= Skye slumped.
"I thought so." Bud spoke.
=You seem to have quickly gotten back into our old habits=
"Your personal orbit is too strong even from beyond life." Bud countered, finding a crate before he slashed a lock off with his talons and pulled out the wrist device he was told about before.
"Ano...Now that things have calmed down...why did you make these?" Yamato asked.
=The device? Oh, on the off chance that the Original died, it was made for me to be able to g…=
"No, no, no. Uh, this place I mean."
=Oh. Spying on humanity= Skye shrugged =And emergency hiding places on the off-chance that someone destroyed Mobius via a multitude of things including setting off all volcanoes at once or by locking an insane madman on Mobius that would convert all Mobians into robots with a bio-obliterator and pollute the lands, skies, and seas= he noticed the awkward movements =...Please tell me it was the volcanoes=
"No..." Amu sadly shook her head.
"You can tell you're dead by reading a room, but not that last one!?" Bud snapped at him.
=That reaction could have been any of the three! Sue me!=
"I can't...you also double as your own lawyer."
=And a gosh dang good one at that=
"Think they're alright? It's gotten quiet out there…too quiet..." Tusk muttered in concern.
"We're back!" Amu called out as everyone returned. "Whats with this feeling of bad juju in the air? Tusk, what did you trigger?!"
"What?" Tusk looked at her with a raised brow.
=...Did you or did you not just say that it's too quiet after saying it's quiet?= Skye deadpanned as all three Sakurai and Bud were glaring at the elephant.
"What? I…..I jinxed it, didn't I?" he paused, "Wait...What the hell is that?!" he pointed at the hologram.
*BOOM!*
=Is the robot mechsuit piloted by a chinchilla attacking any indication?=
"I blame you!" Bud snapped at the hologram, "You make that stupid Murphy thing happen! I use to say that all the time when fighting and nothing, then I met you and suddenly I say one thing and it triggers something worse!"
=Not my f-=
=FOR LORD EGGMAN!= Thunderbolt's voice screamed while her new mech-suit stopped.
It was different; it had a more Deathgalien design to it, it had sleek legs on its thighs were a pair of beam emitters, each arm was long reaching its knees, ending in pincer like claws with gun barrels at the top of each claw. Extending from its upper chest where two mechanical arms one ending in a drill the other a buzzsaw. Its large T-shaped head was opened to reveal a makeshift pilot seat in place of where its head probably use to be.
"Oh lord, it's the crazy fangirl again…" Tusk facepalmed.
"...I-I'm sorry. FANGIRL?" Bud repeated.
"One of Eggman's Egg Boses is a huge fangirl of his."
=...= Skye zipped behind Aphrodite, a hologram of a flamethrower in hand =KILL IT WITH FIRE!=
"I forgot you had issues with fangirls…" Aphrodite facepalmed.
"I find this creepy for a whole host of reasons…" Bud spoke.
"Does it help that even Eggman is creeped out by her?" Amu pointed out.
"Not as much as I'd hope." Bud sighed, "I wish that flamethrower was real…" he noted to the hologram AI of his old friend, "Anything ELSE I need to know, ones that don't borderline on the creepiness end?"
"...She has electric powers which amplify when she's angry?"
"..."
"...What? You asked."
"...Okay. A fangirl is one thing...but a crazy one with amplifying electric powers?"
=NOPE! SO MUCH NOPE!=
"I am Thunderbolt! With the power of Eggman's loyal slave Ginis, I will destroy you all!"
"..."
"...Why aren't you fearing me? START FEARING ME!"
=KILL IT WITH FIRE!=
"THANK YOU!"
=YOU ARE WELCOME! NOW BURN, YA SPAWN OF THE INFINITE INFERNO!=
"HEY! STUPID BLOND RAT!"
=HEDGEHOG!=
"HEDGEHOG?! ...Oh Lord Eggman is gonna love me for this…" Thunderbolt smirked before aiming her weapons all at Skye. "Oh wait. You're an AI, aren't you? ...Meh….wait a second...I remember you. You're the queen's chief R and D scientist."
=IT KNOW ME~!= Skye screamed.
"Of course! Eggman-sama killed you himself...well when he was Robotnik…"
=Ahh! I-wait what?=
"Yup..in front of your own family, too!"
=?!= Skye's eyes widened as Roll tensed.
"Oh I bet it was glorious...Lord Eggman probably did it to make sure everyone in Mobius knows their place! To know who their true ruler is...who woke their planet up from its so called peace and freedom!" Thunderbolt declared.
"...Woke...our planet up?" Roll repeated in a whisper.
"Hm?"
"Killing and tearing families apart...stripping people of their free will and lives...destroying the environment for his own personal gain…ruining the homes of innocents...How is that waking the planet up?!" Roll snapped.
"So?"
"...so?"
"Why do you all feel the need to go into a stupid speech? I just love preaching my love for Lord Eggman! I am not here to listen to your 'oh my daddy's dead!' 'Oh my parents were launched into space!' Who cares? My life was horrible 'till Lord Eggman came, so why should I ever care about your happiness that was stolen?!"
"..."
"But know what? I'm feeling generous right now...Swear loyalty to Lord Eggman and give him the Chaos Emeralds and those cubes that let you transform, and he may not Roboticize you...keyword being 'may.'"
"..."
"...WHY AREN'T YOU SAYING ANYTHING?-?!"
"'Cause we don't take this as serious as the fact the earth will die if Chaos gets the Emeralds." Bud spoke, "Also you...but that's based on personality...that walking death machine is literally the scariest thing I've ever felt. Must be nice to have a genius like the Deathgaliens to bankroll your new toys since clearly none of you idiots know how to make something like that."
"Yeah...also...you really expect us to believe Eggman is better than Ginis? That guy was so scary we couldn't even feel his presence at all."
"Of course I do! Eggman's the greatest in the galaxy, much more than that walking chess piece!"
"Naria, calm down. Calm down…" Quval spoke as he and Azald backed away.
"Every lifeform for themselves!" Azald shouted, running through a wall, "Someone get Squishy!"
"Why are you telling me to calm down?" Naria asked, "Ginis-sama is amused by her barking."
"Quval, my dear servant. Just let things be." he said, "Chaos's perfect form is nearly upon us, nothing can ruin this moment for me," Ginis went on before blinking as on the GIFT cam he saw a larger emerald in the building being used as a lightbulb.
"Hah!" Zyuoh Gorilla roared throwing a punch which Thunderbolt's GIFT took and didn't budge at all. "..."
"..."
"...This normally works…" Gorilla finally spoke as the ground around them had cracked and split apart from the force of his blow as everyone gawked.
"My turn~" At that, the Gift mech suit aimed all its firearms at Gorilla before unleashing blasts of energy from its thigh mounted blasters, electricity from inside its claws, and beams from the guns atop the claws.
Gorilla grunted as the blasts hit him, sending him flying away and through Stick's house. Gorilla kept going out the back wall before slamming into a tree. His suit was burned.
"Ahh! Now I gotta remodel again." Sticks frowned.
"Who's next?!" Thunderbolt laughed as she looked at the Master Emerald, "Ugh... That's too shiny." she groaned, about to open fire on it 'till something turned off all her weapons.
=Ooh...how wonderful= Ginis's voice came from the robot suit. =So pretty and powerful...Gift, retrieve it for your master=
=Yes Master=
"Hey, what's...?" At that, the suits torso opened up as her drivers seat was sucked in as a head unit rose up in its place. The silver head unit lit up and multiple red streaks formed its 'face' that was glowing a menacing red.
=Disengaging piloted mode. Returning to autopilot=
"Leo thinks he likes it better when it was being driven…" Lion gulped, only for it to ignore them and go for the Master Emerald.
"Crap. It wants the Master Emerald." Bud frowned. "Protect the Master Emerald!"
"Right!" the others shouted, getting in its way.
Everyone else transformed and pulled out their weapons if any and began attacking Gift, who blocked each swing with its large claws. Gift swung and tossed Shark and Tiger away. Gift then fired its leg mounted blasters at Knuckles, sending him flying into Gorilla. Gift then stumbled back from a spin dash from Sonic. It then raised its arms blocking a swing of Bud's Eagriser.
"Hey watch it! I'm still in here, ya know!" Thunderbolt's voice screeched from inside Gift, "Are we winning?"
=Processing...= Gift responded before firing a green laser from its claws, forcing the two away from it =Affirmative=
"Then don't stop! Destroy them for Lord Egg..."
*BZZT!*
"Did you just shock me?!"
"Guess it's smarter than you on the real leader you're following, ya little sparky!" Sonic taunted as he took Caliburn and handed him to Gorilla.
"My, you have a firm grip in this state," Caliburn noted.
"Sorry...my hands have to grip things hard...it's hard to hold things with these muscle sausage fingers." Gorilla motioned to his giant fingers.
"Just put all your power into swinging me. I'll cut through anything." Caliburn smirked as red fiery wind covered his blade.
=Dangerous weapon detected!= Gift spoke, blocking a slash only for the blade to embed in its arm.
"Oh?" Ginis pondered in excitement.
"Ha!" Gorilla shouted while swinging again.
=Begin bladed weapon counter protocol= At that, the gun barrels atop its arms fired off beams...that stopped and formed beam swords.
"Seriously?!" Everyone snapped.
"A fine test for a holy sword like me! Even if I'm not in my true form!" he said as the battle was now even, "Onwards to battle!"
Gorilla and Gift clashed blades as the beam blades bounced off Caliburn's blade. But, likewise, the same happened each time Gift blocked a swing from Caliburn. Both blades clashed multiple times, sending sparks and embers of beam energy raining down.
"This...is the most metal thing ever…" Lion spoke as the blades clashed again.
"What is that sword made out of…" Bud muttered as Caliburn was certainly more effective.
=Well, based on scans...An unknown form of alloy with minor traces of orichalcum, titanium, and several trace other alloys=
"Skye, did it sound like I was asking you at all?" he groaned.
"Where can I hit him and not kill her…" Gorilla pondered, struggling as Sonic jumped and landed on the Master Emerald.
=The joints, duh! Basic rules of robot combat! Well, all combat when it involves anything with limbs, but still!=
"Skye, it wasn't made by Eggman. It wouldn't be that predictable," Shark deadpanned.
"Okay, big lug! You want it?" Sonic grinned as he gathered energy into his body from it. "Yamato move!" he shouted as Gorilla did and Sonic, in a Master Emerald-powered spin dash, tore through GIFT, destroying its left arm, "Tusk, Amu, Leo, Sela, go to Yamato and share you power into Caliburn and shout Soul Surge!"
"Got it!" they all shouted going over to Gorilla as he put the sword forward.
"Buddy, help me keep this thing in their line of fire," Sonic added.
=Oi! Only I get away with calling Bud 'Buddy!'=
"I don't like the nickname is catching on." Bud groaned, "I'm cutting the next person to call me that…" he told the others as he used his Eagriser as a whip to keep Gift from getting away. He then blinked as he saw something before he cracked the whip as it stabbed into the opening on Gift's side, "Come here you little…" he grunted, pulling until he yanked out the control pod used by Thunderbolt.
"Ack!" Thunderbolt yelped.
"Won't be needing this anymore," Bud whistled, swinging his whip up and tossing the pod off into a distance as it became a little spec of light in the horizon.
=Darn it, Bud! We could've reversed engineered that for countermeasures on this happening again!=
"It had a fangirl inside of it…" he countered.
=Which is why we'd set the inside on fire first and get an old priest and a young priest to exorcise it!=
"I'm not apologising. Just like I never did for the time I threw that Project Love Potion out the window."
=I had a project called 'Love Potion?!'=
Caliburn's blade exploded in a dazzling rainbow show with an eagle flying out, then a gorilla, lion, shark, elephant, and finally a tiger.
Gorilla raised the sword up as the others got behind him and put their hands on his back. Gorilla roared as his muscles seemed to compress down for a moment, as all of them were glowing in their suits color.
"Shout from the top of your hearts, Zyuohgers!" Sonic instructed.
"Caliburn Sei naru ken!" Gorilla spoke, "Ima koso shinka! Hyakuju no ken! Soul…" he began as the blade shot a giant beam of light up as Gift looked up at it.
"SURGE!" all the Zyuohgers shouted as Gorilla swung down, bringing the giant blade of light down on the robot. Gift formed a barrier that cracked the moment the blade hit it. It was swallowed by the beam as its very body began disintegrating from the sheer amount of energy.
"Ahahaha! Encore!" Ginis clapped.
"They...they defeated a Gift...a custom GIFT at that!" Quval gawked.
Azald whistled in amazement as he watched the replay Ginis kept going.
"I knew that sword packed a punch. It hurt me alot." he groaned, rubbing his phantom wounds.
"Amazing! More! More Season 2!" Ginis shouted.
"Eh?"
"What? It's what humans say when they want more of something." Ginis chuckled, "Ahh, but it didn't get that rock...oh well. Next time."
'That new AI of theirs seemed to panic when the tiny chinchilla was there...Perhaps this 'fan girl' can be good research,' Quval pondered.
"Phwa…" Gorilla sighed falling over, for once not in his muscular state. Steam was coming off his suit and body enough to fog up the area.
"There is nothing I cannot cut." Caliburn smirked as Sonic picked him up.
"Wow. Yamato used up all his muscles!" Lion gawked.
"I'm worried about that showing up again on its own," Roll noted.
"We...we...ah...we can worry about that later." Gorilla got up, reverting to Yamato, "Right now, we need to get the Emeralds...and...the big one to safety."
"Too late on one of those, fools," a voice said as everyone saw Lien Da, "My god... Thunderbolt is the best distraction." she chuckled, holding up the two Emeralds the heroes had from before.
=...You didn't put them together, did you?= Skye deadpanned, looking at the others...with most trying not to look at him =...Wow. Either Aleena sucks at having people attend mandatory lessons on Murphy's Law or never implemented my suggestion=
"No!" Bud shouted, flying at her before Chaos erupted from the ground and smacked him back into the ground.
"Yamero! Lien-da, don't you understand what you're doing?" Yamato tried to reason.
"Yes I do: I'm destroying your world and getting on my new boss's good side, I'd say I'm being the smart one here." she said, holding up the Emeralds as Chaos 3 swallowed them.
Chaos 3 collapsed into a puddle before shooting up into the air with far more water than before. Its arms swelled up into large scorpion claws as it grew four scorpion legs. Its head sunk into its chest as it grew two more sets of eyes as a large mouth emerged beneath them. More metal bones formed inside of it, making a skull/ribcage with three emeralds in it.
"Well...At least it doesn't have the one that got flushed down…" Lion then blinked as Thunderbolt returned with said Emerald and covered in something that smelled...a lot.
=...CURSE YA, MURPHY AND FANGIRLS!= Skye shouted as Thunderbolt threw the sixth Emerald into Chaos 5, making it lose its arms and swelled up into a blob-like, armless scorpion form.
"Okay! Let's dance, God of Destruction!" Sonic challenged. "Yamato, you gotta recover and you guys need to find that last Emerald. I'll keep him busy." he smirked, "Come on, ya pile of sludge!" he taunted before running; Chaos 6 looked between Yamato and Sonic...and chased Sonic.
"Ahh! Now I gotta clean all this up!" Sticks complained, "And you all wonder why I can't have nice things."
"Sticks, where have you been?"
"The bathroom. It was clogged up." Sticks answered, "Now get out! Sticks needs to breaks some bones!"
"Okay. That's six emeralds down...one left."
=If you guys can't find it, it's probably in another one of Aleena's safehouses hand made by me...original me...but I still remember doing it, so I count!=
"How many did you make…?" Sela asked.
=Hehehehhehe…!= he laughed =Oh wait. That was a serious question. Umm...I'm not sure if more were made post-me, but at last count...= he turned into a mini version of himself to sit on Sela's shoulder and whispered it.
"?! THAT MANY?!"
=She gave me free reign. All she asked was it'd be able to hide Emeralds=
"So how many of you are there?"
=Just me. I hate the unlucky number of 13, so I get paranoid with that and made me to counter that bad mystic mojo=
"Well...time you made yourself useful." Bud spoke. "Let's hurry. I don't want the prince's death on my conscious. I'm actually starting to like him."
"Ah we need to ow ow ow…" Yamato grunted while he held his sore arm.
"Yamato, be careful." Bud spoke, "You have given it your all. Do not recklessly push yourself too far. Leave that to idiots like the Prince."
"Hey!"
"What? I said I was starting to like you." Bud countered. "Either way I think I know where she is. So if I'm right, she's heading to the next hideout; I'll get the Emerald from her."
"How do you know she has one?" Tusk asked.
"She wouldn't be hitting the hideouts unless she needs to hide something." he answered before flying off.
"Yes... It's nearly time for Chaos' true form. I'm at the edge of my seat." Ginis noted as he grinned. "Naria, prepare my special wine."
"Ohh~ The boss only brings out the good stuff when he's really happy."
"Finally after 49 wins, that fire is back. The excitement of a challenge." Ginis smiled as Lien-Da returned with Thunderbolt.
"As I told you, use what you can and secure the larger goal." she smiled, bowing to Ginis, "How else may the Dark Legion serve you?"
"You've done enough. Please relax and continue watching with us."
"Of course."
"Put me down…" Thunderbolt muttered, shooting a dirty glare at Lien-Da before she was dropped on her butt, "Ow!"
"You did say drop you…" Lien-Da smirked at the chinchilla.
"You didn't have to take it literal!"
"Oh shut up."
"I have to thank you." Ginis spoke, "Call it ironic. I'm sure you lot are worth putting down...hehe...it's why I like you all. But...the fact you're organic enough for the heroes to spare you...makes the game so...fun." he spoke while walking towards the monitor, "I mean...either you win because you have no limits to what actions you take. Or they beat you...and let you live, which is still a loss for them. And if they even do take that drastic turn...hahaha...it's a win because they've dropped to your level! A true Triple Win scenario!"
"This should be safe here." a cloaked figure muttered, holding the final Emerald.
"I knew you would be here." Bud voiced as he frowned, landing behind the figure with almost no noise, "Your patterns are predictable...Jou-sama."
"Bud. Goodness, you look like you're old enough to be my grandfather."
"Yes...a result of the years I had to give up to heal Yamato's leg. Had I not...he never would have walked again." he revealed.
"Always caring so much about the humans," she said, "You and Larry never change."
"Yamato is a special case…" he admitted, giving out a long sigh, he then stabbed his sword into the ground to show his peaceful intentions. "What are you doing?"
"I'm keeping the Emeralds away. Though against Chaos, that won't last long."
"It is only a matter of time until the beast somehow senses it." Bud spoke as he reached behind his tail feathers and pulled out the last King Credential, "However...if I send it...and all of you back to Mobius...the problem goes away."
"Ahaha…'The problem goes away,' Bud?" she laughed, "Did what I do go away for you? Does the hate you have for me after my crime faded?"
"...Just take your people and go…" Bud spoke simply, "We have hurt the humans enough already. We have burdened our people enough...children are fighting this resulting damage. Chaos...Deathgaliens...all of this is just being dropped on those children who had nothing to do with those events. Take them home to their families...let the warriors of Earth protect it."
"No."
"No?"
"Mobius and Earth will not survive unless Yamato leads them to fight the Deathgaliens."
"This burden should not be placed on him!" Bud argued, "After all he has been through, it is unfair to let him be some missing link between worlds… I refuse to let this responsibility be placed on him! I have seen him suffer enough…" he gripped his hand with his talons enough for small trickles of blood to drop.
"It's not your decision. It's been decided already. He, Sonic, Leo, Sela, Amu, Tusk, the sixth one, and you… You all are going to save us all."
"Please...don't make him…"
"Bud...why do you protect Yamato so much?"
"Because...had I never come here...Yamato could still be able to face….to face his…" he trailed off, struggling to finish his sentence.
"Bud...I lost the right a long time ago to ask you this, but just this once believe me when I say it. This was meant to be. As the Oracle told me and, like it or not, he will still fight for both worlds, regardless." she said, walking towards him and placing the Emerald in his hand.
"Why...why must I always be forced to stand back and watch the world make choices…?" Bud asked, unable to look up, "Why can I never be the one to take these burdens for the sake of those I wish to protect?"
"Once you find the answer, the King Credential will respond." She assured him, trying to hug him, but back away as he saw her cry, "...Tell my kids don't look for me this time...and Skye?"
"That idiot is more or less back from the dead as the case is…" Bud sighed after a moment, "I don't know how AI work...nor do I want to listen...again...but that annoying specter is here to stay. He will be of help...I get the feeling those kids could use a...sidekick."
"Actually, I want him to know if I find someone smarter than him, I'm gonna have him virtually spanked for Protocol Ex," she deadpanned, "But take that Emerald, tell everyone I don't want to be found, and I'm no longer the queen of Mobius. Its future are in the Zyuohgers' hands…"
"...Aleena…" Bud spoke, "I...forgive you." he finally spoke, "But...I can never forget. And...I hope one day you discover your own path for this new world you see that I can not. I hope that road leads you back to your family...no family should be separated forever. But for now...I shall leave you to your own affairs…" he said, blinking as she was already gone. Bud looked down at the Emerald as he held it up to eye level. He then grabbed his sword and flew off.
"Back sea scorpy back!" Sonic slashed away at pieces of Chaos 6 only for them to regenerate faster than he could cut.
"It seems with each Emerald his ability to heal his form drastically improves," Caliburn noted.
"Did you secretly chat with the AI when I wasn't paying attention?" Sonic asked as he slid under Chao's belly and slashed its body, making a good splash of water fall to the ground, "Ah...it's a good thing he's not dyed red or this would be really gross," Sonic panted as he looked around. "Aw shit."
"What is it, Knave?"
"We're back in the city." he realized that the fight had lead down the road with the city of Tokyo visible in the distance.
"Ah. I was wondering as to why I was hearing screaming earlier admits Chaos' roars."
"Crap!" Sonic grunted, "Samurai Dog's gonna kill me."
"Worse; Lady Roll is the one who shall end you," Caliburn noted, "Look to your right and see what is on fire at the moment."
"..." Sonic looked to see Roll's cafe was what was on fire, "...Shit. When did he do that?"
"Actually, that was you when you spanked your behind in a taunt and he turned into a giant stinger to stab you," Caliburn explained.
"Worth it," he replied with a shrug.
"Yes, I'm sure it was. Do you have a plan to defeat him?"
"Yeah. I need him to get all seven Chaos Emeralds."
"You...you do know…"
"Yes, I know he has 6 of them!" Sonic quickly said, avoiding multiple strikes. "But once he has the last one, the fight's in our favor!"
"...I think it's finally happened. You. have. Snapped."
"Don't be like that! Insanity is the new sane!" Sonic smirked as everyone and Bud arrived.
"MY CAFE!" Roll exclaimed.
"That was me...yeah... Not gonna lie or misplace the blame," Sonic said, still focused on dodging Chaos 6.
"Say what you will; A man that honest would be a decent spouse," Bud offered a form of praise.
"I know...but he's still going to be a waiter for a day when it's repaired," Roll frowned.
"I got the last Emerald." Bud said holding it up before shooting his hand up and letting Sonic run into Roll, "What is your plan, Prince?"
"Give it to Chaos," Sonic replied, his voice muffled.
"That...that is a terrible plan." Bud spoke as Sonic got off a blushing Roll.
"Yeah, but it's what happens after that matters." he said, "He's drawing on one kind of energy. We're gonna fight him back with the real power inside the Emeralds."
"Hmm…" Bud spoke, walking up to him, "I don't know if you're some sort of combat genius...or the dumbest Mobian I've met since Skye...but...I can understand your thought process." he nodded, "But...first I would be happy if we evacuated the people in town. No telling what will happen in between."
"Tails should be on it already."
"How do you know Sonic again?" Tails asked the SPD officers helping him with the evacuation.
"Let's just say Boss sees him as the best hunt as a police officer ever." a man named Banban smiled.
"I would prefer if he didn't taunt Boss like he does, though," a female officer in pink sighed.
"Boss is getting up there in Anubian years after all…" a man in green sighed, "It can't be good for his heart."
"Nonsense," two men in blue spoke.
"Boss is easily more physically fit then any human on earth." the man in blue and white spoke, the one in blue and black nodding in agreement.
"Also, I'm sure long after this child is an adult, Boss will still be around barking at rookies." a woman in Yellow smiled as she patted Tails's head gently.
"Well it's all up to Sonic and Yamato now." Tails spoke, not minding the action. The woman had a very warm presence after all.
"Hmm?" Ginis blinked, seeing Sonic present the last emerald to Chaos.
"What...the…?" Lien-da blinked.
"He's lost his mind," Quval spoke.
"Wow...He's gonna beat him at his own game," Azald noted.
"What?" Lien-da looked at Azald.
"Eh, I listened when Squishy told me about the times that blue guy's become a gold flying beat-em-up guy when those seven things are together. And they're all together, so we get to see him go gold flying beat-em-up guy. I gave Squishy a big bow this time for that neat information."
"Wait...what?!" Quval snapped, "You mean that blue buzzsaw of a species benefits from having all seven in one location!?"
"Yeah. Once he has those, he's basically him." Lien-Da pointed at Ginis.
"Come on~ Take it. It's what you want." Sonic smirked as he gave up the Emerald.
"I am not a fan of this idea!" Tusk threw in.
"I trust Sonic," Yamato said, walking up, "I know it's risky...but...we have no choice." he spoke getting everyone's attention, "Chaos can't be stopped by normal means. If this is our best chance, then I will trust in Sonic."
"Hai. I think I just realized what Sonikku's plan is, too," Roll noted, "Amu-chan, remember the last time Sonikku was near seven Chaos Emeralds?"
"Ah, soka…" Amu bopped her hands together, "Clever indeed. I can't believe I forgot that. But to be fair, this has been a stressful couple of days. I'm gonna need a few days at a spa for all these worry lines."
"Oh very much. Darling, any chance…" Aphrodite began.
"Minna!" Sela gasped as she pointed; the emerald energy was drained until it became pure black.
Chaos then spat out the others, now equally black as its body bubbled. His body burst into water that fell into the destroyed sewer entrance below it. Moments later, the ground began to rumble as cracks formed around the entrance. An explosion in the burning cafe gave way to a flood of water before more and more areas with water access erupted in watery explosions around them. All over the city, manhole covers, sewer grates, anything and everywhere water could come and go erupted in explosions of water, shattering glass and even breaking apart the ground. After several minutes, the group was now on the roof of the mall while the entire city was destroyed and flooded.
"Now we're at the finale!" Sonic smirked as Tikal appeared.
"What have you done?! Chaos is at full power now! He's drained the Emeralds of all their energy!" she began panicking.
"Negative." he said.
=Are you an AI?= Skye asked at the same time.
"What?" She asked Sonic.
"When I touched the Master Emerald, Chaos was covered in black and I looked at myself and I was covered in light. That's when I realize it: Chaos wants to use hate, anger and rage. I got something more powerful on my side," he smirked, "Friendship," he fist bump with Leo, "Kindness," he looked at Sela, "Courage," he and Amu smiled, "Bravery." he looked at Tusk, "Love." he wrapped his arm around Roll, earning a blush from her, "and most importantly..." he and Yamato smiled, "Brotherhood."
"Ah…" Yamato smiled, "...We have something that Chaos doesn't." he spoke as he put a hand on Bud's shoulder, "Hope...hope in a tomorrow where all of us will be happy."
"Then…" Bud spoke, "I shall bet on the future you kids make together. And I shall protect it until it comes true!" the Kings credential in his pocket began glowing golden again.
"That's the spirit, Buddy!" Sonic grinned as they all saw a small spark from the Chaos Emeralds, "Tails? Everyone in the city? Yeah, get them to cheer us on. We're gonna show Chaos and the Deathgaliens tomorrow belongs to us."
-line break-
"Okay, Sonic." Tails nodded as Ban picked Tails up and pointed him towards all the people, "Hey everyone! I'm a friend of the Zyuohgers!" he shouted, "They need to pick themselves up! Shout out as loud you can! Let them know we're fighting with them!"
"Come on, people! Let's give the new kids know we have faith in them!" Ban shouted, "Zyuohgers! Your Senpai are cheering for you!"
"Zyuohgers...ahh…! Leo and Sonic." Daisuke spoke in the crowd, "Ike! Leo! Ike Zyuohgers!"
"Zyuohgers! Zyuohgers! Zyuohgers!"
Everyone blinked as they could hear the chanting. Skye looked out and screamed, seeing a tidal wave approaching them.
"There we go." Sonic smirked as the Chaos Emeralds' light returned, it even seemed as if golden light rose from the ground into them, breathing new life into the emeralds. They began floating up off the ground into the air as they started to spin around Sonic.
"But...how?" Tikal asked.
"...Human and Mobians…" Bud spoke, "The two worlds that have met...they shall clash...but from that clash a new one will rise. A new tomorrow for both worlds. That is all I can say." he chuckled, his King Credential glowing bright gold so much so it caught everyone's attention.
"Let's do this, Super Sonic!" Sonic shouted engulfed in a pillar of gold light, "Style!"
The light began to die down as Sonic floated above the ground, his fur now a vibrant shining gold color, his quills lifted upwards now as his eyes opened revealing they where now red.
"Sonic...san?" Yamato asked in awe.
"This is the prince?" Bud asked amazed.
"Ohh~ gold." Azald admired, "Squishy told the truth!"
"Lord Ginis, permission to curse?"
"Mmm...Granted."
"Thank you," Lien-Da thanked before going into a cursive rant.
"What is with this planet?!" Quval threw his hands up.
"Ginis-sama…?" Naria asked.
"Haha...Hahahaha!" Ginis launched in response, "Naria...I've never been more happy! We could not have picked a better planet for our 100th game!" he laughed more while clapping his hands, "Earth, where have you been all my life?"
Super Sonic then walked to his friends and waved his hand as a golden wave heal all their wounds, and even restore their stamina to 100%. The pulse of the golden wave even dispersed the wave as it nearly hit them.
"Yamato, Sela, Leo, Tusk, Amu? Your hands, if you please," Super Sonic said, holding out both his hands.
"Ikuze, minna." Yamato nodded holding his hand out and everyone joined in forming a circle
"Now, unleash your wild instincts and go beyond them to super levels and shout it! Yasei Chou Kaihou!" Super Sonic ordered.
"Otou-san?" Skye looked at Roll, who whispered in his ear.
=Huh? Uh, sure I can do that? ...Oh yeah, you livestream fights involving a giant= Skye chuckled before digging into his jacket and pulled out a hologram of a camera and aimed it at them while blurring the unmasked faces of the Sentai in real time =Rolling!=
"Yasei Chou Kaihou!" the Zyuohgers shouted as an even more massive pillar of light erupted and in it blue, yellow, white, green and red flew up.
"Chou Oozora no Ouja!"
"Chou Araumi no Ouja!"
"Chou Savana no Ouja!"
"Chou Shinrin no Ouja!"
"Chou Setsugen no Ouja!"
"Dobutsu Sentai!"
"Super Zyuohgers!" the Zyuohgers shouted as they erupted out of the pillar in their new forms.
"Super Zyuohgers arriving in time to save the Day!" Super Sonic grinned, flying above them. "Don't you dare underestimate this planet!" he grinned, "Let's go, ZyuohFenghuang!"
"Eh?" ZyuohEagle pondered, noticing his suit had changed; the eagle head on his chest changed to the crested head of the mythical Chinese bird, the Fenghuang. His helmet even formed a red bladed crest atop his head. His wings grew out from his back as several long feathers formed coat tails that looped under his belt, "Zyuoh...Fenghuang…" he awed as he grabbed at the coat tails as they fluttered about.
"Nande? Our suits changed like Yamato's?" ZyuohLion asked as the lion on his chest became much more fierce with large fangs, the mane on his helmet became larger and made up of spiked tufts instead, his arms and torso seemed slightly more muscular as well, "Zyuoh...Nemean?"
"This is amazing." Tiger spoke as her she had developed multiple stripes as the Tiger on her suit was replaced by a tiger like Komainu head. Her skirt had spiral markings ending in fur lining at the ends. Her helmet formed curling streaks that branched off like hair and framed the face of the helmet, "Koma...inu or Komatora?" she blinked looking at her new form.
"This feels amazing?" Shark spoke as her shark was replaced by a sea serpent like beast, her helme changed as fins formed ear like shapes on the side of her helmet and two dorsal fins formed across the top of her helmet. Her skirt was now split into two fin like tails hanging beside her legs, "Zyuohg...Leviathan...Levia...for short." she shyly muttered.
"Yamato is this how Gorilla feels?" Elephant asked as his chest elephant was turned to three, the tusks on his helmet now golden and extending out as ear like armored plates formed along the sides of his helmet. His arms had shoulder pads with markings making them resemble elephant heads, "Wait...am I an Airavata now? Good thing my head didn't actually turn into three…"
"No this is much stronger." Fenghuang spoke, "This...is more amazing. Almost...limitless."
"Ohayo, minna," Roll greeted as Skye moved the camera to show her with the destroyed flooded city in the background, "If you're wondering what is happening, well...it's very very bad. Normally, I do mecha battles against giant monsters, but this time we need to do things differently..."
A massive screech erupted as an explosion of water went off, destroying a several story-tall building and exposing Chaos. Seemingly made of the flood itself, Chaos was massive, easily towering over even the tallest building. As the water rose, it gave way to a solid series of dark-blue scales seemingly radiating with a sickly green energy in-between the scales at points. It all culminated into a dragonic head with a pair of jaws littered with layers upon layers of razor sharp fangs, seemingly going through a constant shifting. Dreadlocks made of the 'scales' grew out of the sides of its head while it sported a massive spike growing out of the back of its head and a smaller clear horn growing between its eyes where a faint pink brain was sealed away within.
"...They're going to fight that using new forms," Roll gulped, paling significantly at the sight of the behemoth as it grew tentacles out of the sides of its body, "For the sake of making sure you can keep track of things, we're going to call it Perfect Chaos."
=Perfect Chaos?=
"Because Chaos 7 sounds redundant," Roll deadpanned.
=That is a valid argument=
"I have no idea how long our super forms are gonna last, so we gotta beat him here and now!" Super Sonic advised.
"Understood!"
Perfect Chaos then turned, sensing a threat and blinked as Fenghuang and Super Sonic hit him and actually hurt his body.
"ZyuohNemean, Komatora, hit him!" Sonic shouted to Lion and Tiger's new selves.
"Hai!" Komatora grinned while hitting a river made from the flood and sending a giant iceberg slamming into Chaos's body
"RAHHH!" Nemean roared, shooting litteral thunder out of his mouth blasting Perfect Chaos back.
"ZyuohLevia, Airavata, that's your cue!"
"PAON!" Airavata shouted, stomping the ground. Rock and concrete rose up from the ground and above Chaos. The Water-based deity looked up as a giant chunk of stone the size of a skyscraper formed above it, "HA!" he roared, swinging his arm down as the giant boulder dropped on Chaos causing a huge explosion of dust.
Water Tentacles then shot out to hit Airavata only for a giant dragonic looking shark made of water to bite down on them.
"...Okay, to be fair, I did not know that that form of hers could do that," Roll informed as Skye was displaying the chat freaking out about the water shark/dragon/thing, "This is first time use of these news forms, watchers."
"Hah!" Fenghuang roared, grabbing his coattails and detached them, revealing them to be gold twin Eagrisers. "Ikuze Chaos!" he shouted, flying at him; Chaos fired water bullets that the Super Zyuohger easily slashed through, "HA!" he shouted, spinning around and slashing as a spinning cyclone of blades.
Chaos roared as it launched several tentacles of water at Fenghuang. However all of them were slashed and diced to pieces.
"Look closely, Chaos!" Fenghuang shouted, "Your negative energy isn't the correct path! We'll keep moving on with hope!" Zyuoh Fenghuang shouted as the others flew next to him and their energies merged.
"Grit your teeth, Hakaishin!" Nemean growled.
"'Cause we'll make our future..." Komatora added.
"And the dark past that ties you down..." Levia spoke loudly.
"Will be shredded to pieces..." Airavata added.
"BY OUR CLAWS!"
At that, the Zyuohgers shone golden before forming a giant clawed hand, its claws all glowing in their corresponding colors. Perfect Chaos roared before releasing a purple laser from its jaws at them. The clawed hand shot forward, tearing right through the beam after a moment of struggling, before stabbing through Chaos' body, making it cry in pain. The claw then turned around before slashing once more, leaving multiple streaks of light behind its claws in the process. Chaos' eyes then closed as, in a final earth shattering roar, he melted into the floodwaters as several lights each belonging to Sonic and the Zyuohgers landed on the streets as their power ups time limit was reached. Their suits then faded away in specs of light, leaving all of them in their civilian attires, and the Mobian members back to their true forms. Skye once more had to do real time digital editing to hide their faces as the flood waters began to recede.
"Whooo!" Leo shouted, "I feel great!"
"Yeah! Me too! I feel like I had the best sleep of my life." Sela grinned.
"Mmm~" Amu yawned stretching her arms, "What a surprisingly nice feeling that was."
"Minna!" a voice shouted as Roll and everyone ran up to them.
"Good job, Yamato, prince, and you little kids as well, I guess." Bud chuckled.
"Hey!" everyone complained as only Yamato got called by name.
-So glad we ended the recording once the big guy was beaten- Skye thought.
"What? I said I was only starting to like you." Bud chuckled before they all heard screeching as the Cube Animals including Kirin and Mogura arrived.
"Mini Leo! Come give daddy kisses!" Leo called as the Cube Animals went pass them all as they turned to see Chaos in his original form, looking at the group.
Chaos stood up before falling forward to one knee. The God of Destruction seemed...exhausted of all its power and stamina...even its very will to fight. He then blinked as Cube Gorilla and Cube Eagle nuzzled his hands as did the other Cube Animals. They seemed to roar/squeak at him, clearly communicating with him.
"Chaos…" Bud spoke, being the one to walk up to him, "The past can not be undone; your pain and suffering will forever exist." he spoke crouching down, "But stand!" he spoke loudly, making Chaos look at him, "Don't let their pain lead you down a dark path...you are able to choose your path, Chaos. Find the one that will make you happy. Move on from your tragedy…"
Chaos then stood up as it looked at them all and then Tikal, the cube animals then made shouts as everyone look at them. Cube lion then let out its roar and to everyone surprise flying in were little creatures that seemed to be the size of teddy bears. Their bodies were mostly blue with yellow on the ends of their paws and feet and the tops of their heads with a yellow ball floating above their heads. They all had big eyes and tiny pink fairy wings.
"Ahh! The chao!" Amu gasped.
"But...how?" Tusk asked shocked.
"How much of Mobius got sucked in…?" Sela gawked.
"Chao chao chao~" they called out to Chaos, jumping around him in joy.
"Amazing…" Yamato spoke walking forward as several of them floated over towards him in interest. After a moment, the Chao began to nuzzle him happily, "So adorable…"
"Yeah and those are neutral ones. You see, the white and black-oh there some right now." Sonic smiled looking at pure white variants with angel wings and a halo instead of a dot and mischievous looking black ones with devil tails, fanged mouths, and horns.
"Kawai~!" the girls all cooed as they floated all around them.
"Where...where were they?" Tusk asked as several landed on his head and trunk.
"...Chaos...the Chao haven't been tormented by the past. We should follow their example." Tikal smiled, "Come. Let's accept the future the Zyuohgers believe in and support it."
Chaos stood up and looked at everyone before reaching his hand out to nuzzle one of the Chao. Chaos' eyes seemed to arch in a way to indicate he was...happy.
"Ahh let's go." Tikal smiled as the Chao started to fly off; Chaos began to float after them as did Tikal. "Zyuohgers, let us meet again. I thank you for showing me the correct path as well." she waved goodbye as did Chaos and the chao.
"Bye god! Bye Tikal!" Leo shouted.
"Bye adorable little Chao!" Amu added.
"Good bye, Tikal." Bud spoke with a sigh, "Thank you...thank you for annoying me so much." he then blinked as his pocket shone again as he pulled the cube out as it began peeling to reveal...a Zyuoh Changer. But it wasn't just a normal one...it was pure gold.
"Ahh that's not good," Sonic gulped, looking at the mess that was the city.
"I don't hear roaring or explosions so I think we won." Tails spoke up. "Hmm... well that's good."
=Tails, the city looks like it'll take months to repair...shall we test those?=
"Yep." Tails smirked before pushing an app resembling a handyman toolbox.
-line break-
At Tails' house/hanger, the hanger bay opened and inside were thousands of small ships resembling pliers. The ships split apart into trios of robots with multiple built in tools. This was Tails' secret project: Project Pliers. These miniature robots use technology that lets them recycle materials and, like 3D printers, recreate what was damaged. So these little robots got to work using stockpiled images of the city before its damage to restore everything to a 'before' state.
"What the…" Leo blinked as the mini bots came from the sky and started fixing...literally everything in sight. Roll squealed as her cafe look like it did on its opening day.
"Tails, fair warning? Roll is going to hug you to the point of unconsciousness...again," Sonic warned, seeing the look in her eyes.
=I am prepared= an image of Tails in padded football gear, helmet included responded =Hey, wait! What what?! Ahh!=
=Borrowing this kid! We'll have him back!= Banban shouted on the camera.
=Kidnapping!= Tails panicked his arms flailing around in panic.
"Oh boy... Guys, I need to go save Tails. Mind holding down the fort 'till I get back?" Sonic asked his friends.
=...Does this happen often?= Skye asked =Him getting kidnapped, I mean=
"We have rules for when this happens." Sonic chuckled, "Rule Number 1: Always wait for Sonic to come save you. Later~!" he cheered, dashing off.
=...Is that…=
"Sadly, yes," Tusk sighed, "Ahh! The last cu…" he blinked, seeing Bud had already left, "Aw rotten peanuts."
"Yamato! You have a note on your jacket." Amu spoke as she took it off, "Eh...his hand writing is bad…" she muttered, "Let's see…'Yamato, I am going off on a little spiritual trip. I will be back after I have cleared my mind of all doubt and negativity. If one of your friends mocks this, I swear I will punish them. But until I return, enjoy the Earth and all its splendor, young Mobians'." she read, "'PS: Tell the prince his mom is okay and I will drag her back one way or another.'"
"Back to square one," Sela sighed before she smiled, "But...I guess I don't mind spending a little more time on Earth. There are so many more things I wanted to try." she admitted, scratching her cheek.
"Me too!" Leo cheered, "I'm gonna have more fun here! Then I'm bringing back my siblings a ton of souvenirs!"
"It is nice to have a cafe that isn't constantly in danger of robots," Roll admitted.
"Yamato...it looks like we'll be staying for an extended time...will that be okay?" Amu asked.
"Hai!" Yamato smiled happily.
"Truly...truly...this is the best planet." Ginis chuckled. "Wouldn't you agree?" he asked as Metal Sonic walked in.
=You enjoy the challenge=
"Indeed and I'm starting to tear up. Where will I ever find a world this fun again? ...Ahaha!"
"Uncle Mario, we're ba...AHH!" Yamato freaked as Sticks and Mario were playing around, the latter in a badger costume.
"Homewreckers!" Sticks shouted.
"What?" Tails blinked.
"Yeah. I read your mind. Living all alone in a hangar isn't good for kids." the yellow SPD officer told him.
"Well...technically I kinda live with my sister and a-" Tails began.
"No excuses. Besides, we could use smarts like yours here."
"Hey, I won't even be here long. Sonic's coming to bust me out."
"...ahaha…"
"Oh come on!" Sonic complained as Doggie stood in his path, "Let me through!"
"No. We need intelligence like his."
"...Seriously, let me through. If his sis finds out he was kidnapped...what's the coldest weather you've guy have dealt with?"
"We found his sister. She's burning out a caffeine rush." he said, "Besides," he said assuming his stance. "I like fighting with you, Sonic."
"Alright," Sonic sighed taking out Caliburn, "Caliburn, wanna make kissy face with his sword?"
"...I swear if I was enchanted to burn the hand of one who I deem unworthy...that...that would be where your hand would be burnt," Caliburn sighed, "Still, a battle is a battle. En garde, good sir!"
"Koi!"
"And of course I'd forget that the one swordsman Sonic keeps running into for breaking the speed limit is the chief here…" Tails facepalmed as Jasmine, the officer, patted his head.
"Oi, Ban."
"What is it, aibou?"
"Aibou ja nai!" he snapped, "Anyway, remember that guy who tried to steal the base? The fat egg looking guy?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"He looked familiar. So I ran a facial scan and look who I found."
"...Doctor….Gerald Robotnik…" he read, "...Masaka…"
"Ahh... Looks like Case Shadow might need to be revisited."

Tusk: That's it! I'm going for a walk!
Ginis: Well let us begin a new round of games shall we. From now on, Dark Legion commanders shall lead a Player into battle. So...find a monster you like.
Tusk: Oi, oi, oi! I didn't do that!
