"Hello everyone and welcome to this action pact third part of the Time dungeon arc of The Dimensional Saga and this is TME here with Sonic and Tails again for the guest section." TME said before he bowed to the screen before Sonic and Tails stepped into the room before they spoke up.
"Hi everyone." Sonic greeted with Tails waving towards the screen before they sat down before Sonic spoke up.
"Welcome you guys, nice to see you here again." TME said before he bowed to the brotherly duo who bowed back before Sonic spoke up.
"No problem, we got the call and came." Sonic said before taking a seat with Tails sitting nearby before TME spoke up.
"Well guys, here are some snacks for you two while the story goes on." TME said before passing out food before Tails spoke up.
"Nice as always!" Tails said before he dug in with manners while Sonic spoke up with a cheerful tone.
"Thanks for getting the chilly dogs." Sonic said in a relaxed tone with what he had while TME responded.
"No problem, lets get back to the story." TME said before he looked to the screen.
in 3!2!1! GO!
Time dungeon arc part 3/ prequel arc
Trial of Blades/ 2nd Boss area/ Emerald, Nocturn, Leonel, Lillum
"Core!?" Leonel whispered to herself after she saw the enraged dragon before it looked around in confusion while Emerald spoke up while he felt shock go throughout his body.
"You know this guy!?" Emerald said in shock when he saw the behemoth like dragon walk around the room like it was searching for something before Leonel spoke up.
"Yeah, he is the elemental dragon, 1 of the 4 shrine guardians, I'm another guardian and Core here is the second." Leonel explained before Lillum floated over before speaking up.
"Well he seems pissed off for some reason!" Lillum said before hovering backwards past the duo sense the dragon gave her the creeps.
Just then Core roared in what appeared to be agony when a crest appeared on his forehead before he looked at the 4 party members and breathed fire which made Emerald shouted out in panic.
"HIT THE DECK!" Emerald shouted before the group scattered to avoid the blast before Leonel spoke up.
"What is that crest on his head?, it seems familiar." Leonel said after she landed next to Emerald before he spoke up again.
"No clue!, find out later!, INCOMING!" Emerald shouted before dodging another fire blast that headed their way while the scene shifted.
Outside the cave/ Elemental Group/ Kamikazix (Wind), Terragaia (Earth), Nebula (Lightening), Infernus (Fire), Oceanic (Water), Shiro (Light), Kuro (Dark), Nexus (Sage)/ Xan's Group/ Xan, Zack, Shunpei, Pluton
"Here's hoping they take the boss down!" Zack said before sitting down on a rock to watch the group when they entered the boss room before Shunpei spoke up.
"No kidding, the last one nearly killed Emerald!" Shunpei said while he sat on the ground nearby while he watched the screen as well before Pluton stood up before speaking up which got everyone's attention.
"My scanners are picking up four life readings." Pluton said before he looked behind the group to see that Vanilla, Cream, Chise, and Tails walk over with confused looks on their faces at all of the the extra guests while Shunpei stood up before speaking.
"What are you guys doing here?" Shunpei asked in a confused tone sense he never met Vanilla and Chise before Tails spoke up to explain.
"I had a strange reading on my scanners, and I was about to come here alone, but Vanilla stopped by with Cream to thank me for letting her stay the day yesterday, also the two wanted to come see how Emerald and Pluton were doing on Angel Island." Tails said while he explained the reason before Chise continued for her reason.
"I wanted to ask more details about the training items Tails gave me and just tagged along sense it sounded interesting." Chise said before she explained the items which made everyone sweatdrop at her reason for coming to the Island.
"The reason must be the cave that your scanners picked up." Shunpei said while he floated over in the hover shoes, but barely before Vanilla spoke up in slight worry.
"Cave?" Vanilla said in a worried tone before Kamikazix spoke up for Shunpei before he could speak up.
"Let me explain." Kamikazix said which surprised them all when she walked nearby before Cream spoke up.
"Who are you?" Cream asked Kamikazix which made Kamikazix smile at Cream before she responded.
"Child, My name is Kamikazix, and I am the Elemental of wind, also like Nexus nearby I'm a sorceress." Kamikazix explained while she pointed to Nexus who was reading her book before Cream spoke up again.
"Elemental?, Sorceress?" Cream asked which made Kamikazix smile before she spoke up again.
"Yes child, I sent Emerald and Nocturn in there as a test to see if Nocturn really did change for the better, and it was so Emerald can handle the darkness so he won't go mad from it from prolonged use." Kamikazix explained which got horrified looks from Vanilla and Cream while Tails and Chise got confused before she spoke up again.
"Also the cave has a time dilation effect, so 12 hours outside is 4 or so years in total." Kamikazix explained which made Vanilla responded with panic lacing her voice.
"4 years!?" Vanilla said in a greatly shocked tone before Zack spoke up which got Vanilla's group attention after he took a few minutes to get over his shock at seeing a walking rabbit four foot rabbit with her daughter and a three foot fox.
"Don't worry, though the 4 year thing sounds scary, Emerald made a few allies in their and is about to be at the 51st floor after taking down the next boss." Zack said before walking up with a grin on his face at meeting new people, anthropomorphic or not.
"How long has he been in there then?" Chise asked worried about Emerald before a voice spoke up.
"About 6-7 hours outside, about a year and a half maybe 2 inside." Terragaia said near the cave screen which got Xan's groups attention.
"Who are you?" Chise asked after she looked over to see the rough looking man, Terragaia, who walked up to the group.
"You could say I'm an ancestor of the Zeo clan, Elemental's are immortal unless killed in battle, names Terragaia!" Terragaia explained nonchalantly while he pointed to himself while Chise thought that the guy was insane which made her speak up again.
"What!?" Chise said while she went bugged eyed which made Terragaia grin before he spoke up.
"Don't believe me huh?, well how do you think you and your family have shark like teeth and beast like strength to lift the heavy war-hammers your family wields?" Terragaia said before summoning his war-hammer to his right hand while giving a toothy smirk before Chise just sat down on the ground in stunned silence before she felt her teeth before another voice spoke up.
"Don't you have another family in another dimension that is also the Zeo clan?" Nebula said while he walked up to the group before Terragaia spoke up a few seconds later.
"Yeah... I think they are working with a clan called hyu-something... all I know they use some odd techniques called jutsus or something that deals with inner energy, may have a few more families in other dimensions." Terragaia said while looking up as he thought about the families and how they might have grown over the years.
"And who are you?" Cream asked Zack after that shocker sense she never got an intro from him which made him speak up.
"Well kid, names Zack Fair, Emerald rescued me from dying somehow and old man Xan here healed me up good as new, I'm waiting for Emerald to come out of the cave." Zack explained which confused the newcomers before Vanilla asked the question that Tails, Cream, and Chise were waiting for before he walked to the cave entrance.
"Rescue?" Vanilla said before Zack replied with a grin on his face.
"Yeah it went like this... and that's how I got here and how Emerald got pushed into the cave." Zack said after he finished his tale before placing his hand on the barrier which blocked the cave entrance which helped prove his story before Tails spoke up.
"Whoa!, Emerald just keeps surprising us and getting into more trouble huh?" Tails said while he sweatdropped with the others in agreement before they heard something that shocked them greatly which made them look around before another roar echoed throughout the field.
"ROOOOAAAAAARRRR!"
Looking back to the screen on the cave wall, the group was shocked in various ways, The Elemental's were shocked that another guardian was in there and were more shocked that a crest of sorts appeared appeared on Core's head.
Xan's group was shocked that a dragon of all things was next while Vanilla's group was shocked at the size of the monster and that there were monsters at all.
"How!?, why is there another guardian!?, Nexus nor I summoned any of them, and whats with that crest?, Isn't that his crest?" Kamikazix said when she didn't like this one bit sense things weren't adding up while the scene shifted.
Another dimension
"HAHAHA!, now then Emerald, what will you do now?, Force alone won't win this one without killing Core!" The red coat man said while a crest glowed on his forehead as the scene switched to the battle.
Back to the battle
"Damn!, we can't get close!" Emerald said after he jumped backwards when Core breathed a breath of Ice which surprised Emerald and Lillum greatly which made her shout in surprise.
"What the hell!?" Lillum shouted while she flied back when the ground erupted in ice spikes which split the team up before Core glared at Emerald before opening his maw.
"ROOOOAAAAAARRRR!" Core roared while shooting lightning from his maw in a quick arc which hit Emerald before he could react.
Emerald wasn't able to react from the sudden lighting attack which resulted in getting slammed backwards towards the stairs leading upward and slammed into the stairs with a crash before he roared in pain.
"GAAAAAAAHHH!" Emerald roared out as he trashed on the ground before Emerald's group shouted at him in worry when Emerald got hit.
"EMERALD!" The trio shouted in concern when Core's attack halted while Emerald's body gave off smoke like mist from being electrocuted greatly before the scene shifted. (I'm pretty sure anyone would go down from an electrical attack, if not outright killed.)
Another dimension
"Oh too bad Emerald, Maybe your not the one I'm looking for." The men in the red coat said with a smile before he continued to watch for what might happen next.
With the others
"No!" Shunpei gasped in wide eyed shock before he fell silent.
"Dammit, come on Emerald get up!" Zack said in a worried tone while his hands tightens into fists.
"Unable to read life-signs, unable to confirm state!" Pluton said with eye cameras focusing for a closer look.
"Come on kid!" Xan said in a low tone while he looked at the screen.
"Please get up!" Cream said in a greatly concerned tone while Vanilla hugged Cream.
"Emerald!" Vanilla whispered in worry while he hugged Cream.
"Please win Emerald!" Chise growled a bit while her sharp teeth showed.
"Come on Emerald, you got people waiting for you!" Tails said while he sat next to Pluton and Shunpei while The Elemental's had different reactions.
"Come on kid, Don't let the fun die yet!" Terragaia whispered in attention while he rested his hammer on his shoulder.
"Is he the one controlling Core?" Kamikazix thought when she had an idea of who was doing this but didn't want to get ahead of herself sense things were not going for her plan.
"That had to hurt!" Shiro and Kuro thought while they sat next to each other while they sat near Nexus.
"Interesting crest, I wish I could examine it." Nexus thought when she saw the crest appear on Core's head.
"Hehe!, thought so!" Infernus thought smugly when she saw Emerald hit the wall.
"Damn that had to hurt!" Oceanic said after he flinched.
"Well here is the critical moment will he live or die." Nebula thought before he scene went back to the battle.
Trial of Blades/ 2nd boss room/ Emerald, Nocturn, Leonel, Lillum
"D-Damn...that... hurt!... I can't...mo...ve!..." Emerald thought before he passed out before Lillum flew over and grabbed Emerald before she silently brought him to Leonel and Nocturn who hid behind a big ice spike that blocked Core's view.
While that happened, Core thought he killed Emerald and started to look for the other three in the room before Leonel spoke up.
"Nocturn, can you heal him?" Leonel whispered while listening for Core before Nocturn replied.
"Yeah, I'll need a few minutes though, Lightning is my weakness." Nocturn said before he floats over to Emerald's charred body and starting the healing process which made Lillum speak up.
"Weakness?" Lillum asked in a confused tone sense Emerald was a different person before Nocturn spoke up.
"Yeah, it messes with my energy when I had a body, really hated it when I had to go to lighting based worlds, Helios said it was because my energy was unstable, even more so then chaos energy believe it or not." Nocturn said while he continued to heal Emerald while Leonel looked to Nocturn with a shocked look before she spoke up.
"How unstable?" Leonel said while she watched Core as he look around the room to only get more irritated when he couldn't find anything while Nocturn spoke up.
"Enough to short my powers out for a short time, Like 5 minutes or so depending on the voltage, Emerald just got hit with a lot of juice and he's now no stronger then a regular human without my energy boosting his strength, how do you think he survived this long?, even the gods of luck have limits you know!, I'll need 10 minutes without interruptions so can you two hold Core off in the meantime?" Nocturn said while he concentrated on Emerald's recovery while Leonel spoke up.
"Sure I can." Leonel said seriously before getting up which got Lillum to speak up with irritations lacing her voice.
"Hold on, I'm here too you know!" Lillum said while she floated over before Leonel gave her an irritated look in return.
"Yeah right, how is your magic gonna help huh?, Core is a elemental dragon so elemental attacks won't work sense he can counter them." Leonel said with a pointed look before Lillum spoke up.
"We won't know if we don't try, besides it's just to hold him till Emerald's back on his feet!" Lillum said with a glare before the two then butted heads with sparks coming from their eyes before they felt a little killing intent come from Nocturn who looked at the duo with anger in his glowing eyes before he spoke up.
"Enough!, Work together or so help me Chaos!, I'll zap you two to get you two going!" Nocturn growled out while he emitted a purple aura which made the duo flinch before they spoke up in slight fright.
"Y-yes sir!" the duo said with shock before shooting towards Core as stealthily as they could while Nocturn was left to heal Emerald, though Nocturn had a grin on his gem plated face before he had a few thoughts.
"Might as well upgrade a gift and throw one in might help here." Nocturn thought with a grin before he willed his aura to cover Emerald's body while the camera panned to the sneaking duo.
Leonel and Lillum sneaked over to the other side of the room while trying not to be seen to allow Nocturn to not be interrupted by Core.
Just then The crest shined on Core's forehead which made him turn to the duo before unleashing a roar before he breathed fire to melt the ice around them which made Leonel shout to Lillum.
"Damn!, stealth time over!" Leonel roared as she charged Core by summoning a Spear and khukuri, the spear in her left hand, the blade in her right. (look up the blade and you'll all see what I mean)
Lillum started to move her hands while she chanted an unknown language before a crest appeared in front of her which created a large Ice spike that flew towards Core which landed in front of him to block the breath attack from hitting her while the scene shifted.
Emerald's mind/ Dream Master Emerald alter/ Emerald
"Ugh!, I may have said this before but that hurt!" Emerald thought while he walked to the Dream Master Emerald clearing and saw the Emerald glow a bit.
"Why am I here now of all times?" Emerald asked while he walked up to the Master Emerald and put his hand on it which resulted in making the gem glow brightly which caused Emerald to shield his eyes from the light and when he lowered his hand he saw to his shock he was in a different place entirely.
?/?/?/?
"How the hell?" Emerald whispered sense he wondered were he was while he looked around the area.
This place looked amazing, It had people flying on Blades and special automobiles that flied through the air, there was 4 pads connected to a floating palace in the sky, Emerald then looked down past the railing and saw a massive metropolis with people walking and moving around in ways that were insane to say the least.
Some were on flying blades, some were on floating pads, some walked, and some even vanished in a flash of light, all in all it looked like the most advanced city he ever seen.
Just then someone walked up behind him which got his attention while he felt something odd happen to his body, like he lost control.
"Hay Nocturn, lets go, well be late if we take to much time!" ? said while Emerald looked over and saw who called him.
"Sorry Helios, lets go." Emerald said before his body walked on autopilot towards the temple as he followed a woman who looked like a goddess to him.
Helios wore a outfit that looked like it came from roman times, she Had C-D cup breasts with hourglass shaped hips, she had pure white hair and a staff that had a floating crystal in the middle.
"Still using that old staff Helios?" Emerald said with a joking tone while they passed a few hallways.
"Oh Nocturn you dunce, This staff not only has history it has a few tricks that are still hidden!" Helios said before they neared the place they needed to be at.
"Sure, sure, and I'm going to be the king of space!" Emerald chuckled before he was hit on the head by the staff itself while Helios started to walk again while Emerald held his head before the pain faded.
Before Emerald could move he looked into an open room and saw a mirror while he saw something that shocked him greatly though his body, or Nocturn's most likely when he took a closer look in the mirror.
Emerald saw that this guy looked slimier to himself though he looked a little older, more rugged, and wore a outfit that made him look like a vampire lord or some kind of noble, he had black hair with purple eyes that gave a slight glow before he continued to follow Helios while rubbing his head.
He walked to Helios who stopped near a room with a large table with many chairs that circled it before Emerald spoke up.
"Geez Helios, I can take a giants fist like its nothing, but you are in another dimension of strength altogether, and that's ironic sense we travel through dimensions!" Emerald said while rubbing his head before Helios spoke up.
"Well that aught to teach you not to insult me!" Helios said before she walked into the room with Emerald in tow.
"Hehe!, maybe, but that's why I love you!" Emerald said while he moved behind Helios and hugged her from behind which surprised her.
"N-Nocturn!" Helios gasped while blushing at Emerald's actions before he spoke up.
"Hehe!, feel how much I love you!" Emerald said as he pushed up against her which made Helios blush more before they heard a voice speak up.
"Oh looky, looky at this cookie!" ? said which made Emerald and Helios look over to the see the source of the voice voice before Emerald and Helios froze in shock.
they saw Kamikazix, the other Elemental's, and the red coat man, to see that they were grinning at the duo, but Infernus was fuming while Helios blushed again before shrieking in embarrassment.
"NOCTURN YOU PERVERT!" Helios shrieked before she pushed Emerald into the wall which made him crash into it before sliding down the wall in a comical way before he spoke up.
"U-ugh!, T-That's why I-I love you!" Emerald said while he laid near the wall at an angle with the others thinking that Nocturn was an idiot before Helios spoke up which got everyone's attention.
"Before Nocturn gets up, let's start the meeting!" Helios said before she sat in a chair with a blush on her face before the red coat man spoke up.
"What's on today's agenda?" the red coat man said before the meeting started.
After people started to sit down with Emerald still stunned on the ground, but before anyone could talk, the scene shifted to midnight with Emerald in Nocturn's body while he rushed to the Master Emerald alter after getting a bad feeling when he arrived at one of the guardian's telepads to see a shocking sight.
He saw the 4 guardians badly hurt on one of the pads before he rushed in the main shrine and saw a robed figure chanting near the Master Core before it started to spark and change before Emerald spoke up with venom lacing his voice.
"I don't care who or what you are!, move away from the Master Core or Ill kill you in the most painful way possible!" Emerald said before he summoned a sword of darkness in his right hand before the robed figure spoke up.
"I don't think so." ? said, which sounded like a man's voice, after he finished the chant and the Master Core changed from being a completely round ball of energy to it's current Emerald version while Emerald's temper spiked greatly.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" Emerald roared while darkness cloaked his entire body before the robed figure spoke up.
"Its very simple Nocturn, but you won't find out until its to late!" ? said before he vanished before reappearing in front of Emerald instantly before he chanted a spell while a familiar crest appeared before Emerald could react.
Emerald then felt himself start to fall unconscious while the robed figure touched Emerald's forehead before he looked at the robed mans smiling face to be shocked beyond belief at what he saw.
"Bor...dux?... Why?" Emerald muttered before he saw himself from another angle all of a sudden before Nocturn fell backwards before the scene shifted to the main hall with Nocturn in chains with The Elemental's looking at Nocturn with various levels of anger or disappointment before Kamikazix spoke up.
"Nocturn for altering the Master Core, you will be banished and stripped of your body never to be seen again." Kamikazix said with a grim tone before Nocturn spoke up.
"Why!?, Where's the proof?" Nocturn said with an angered face while he looked to each Elemental's one by one before Kamikazix stood up from her chair before chanting which made a screen appear and made Nocturn gasp at what he saw.
The screen showed Nocturn chanting the same spell that Bordux was using before the Master Core changed to is current shape and Nocturn Being blasted back by a wave of energy that knocked him unconscious as a result before the screen vanished.
"Anything else?" Kamikazix said in a cold tone before Nocturn thought for a moment before he spoke up an idea he had.
"What about the guardians?, they were injured!, what about them!" Nocturn said when he remembered that they were on the pad so they might remember what happened before a voice growled out.
"Their being treated you traitor!, they told us how you attacked them before walking into the alter room!" Infernus growled out which shocked Nocturn when he thought that this was insane, its not even a real trial.
Just then Helios walked up and and said something that shocked him greatly to the point of stunning him silent.
"Nocturn." Helios said while Nocturn Looked over at Helios which made her speak up.
"I'm sorry... but I can't love someone who lies to me." Helios said sadly which shocked Nocturn silent when Helios of all people would say that before he looked down to the ground.
Helios then started to chant suddenly which made a seal appear under Nocturn who looked at Helios with a shocked look on his face while the other Elemental's were wondering what she was doing before Nocturn gasped when he recognized the seal.
"HELIOS DON"T!, THAT' WILL KILL YOU!" Nocturn begged while the seal was nearing completion while he struggled in the chains while he confused the Elemental's into looking at one another in confusion.
"I'm sorry Nocturn, but it's the only way." Helios said before the seals reached completion.
"NOOOOOO!, HELIOS!" Nocturn yelled while he reached to Helios before the seal shined white before Nocturn vanished soon after.
Helios then collapsed before the Elemental's rushed to her in concern before Kamikazix spoke up.
"Helios!, what was that seal!?" Kamikazix said in a worried tone when she noticed Helios's energy fading rapidly before Helios spoke up.
"Hehe!.. a way for the truth!, a way ...for...the...tr..uth!" Helios said with a smile before her heart stopped before her aura faded completely which made the Elemental's both saddened and confused at what happened before the scene shifted again.
Emerald's house, years later
"Come on boy time to eat." Emerald said before he let his dog out to eat while the scene played out like last time before Emerald was teleported above Angel Island and a bright light engulfed Emerald which temporarily blinded him when the scene shifted again.
Emerald's mind/ Dream Master Emerald alter/ Emerald
Emerald waited for the light to die down before he saw the Master Emerald glow for a minute more before it died down to the regular green glow.
"Why show me this?" Emerald said which made the gem glow before he put his hand on it again as the visions appeared again.
The first 2 visions of the wolf girl and Onimusha played out in front of him like they did before, and a new 3rd one was showed.
It was himself, Leonel, Lillum, Nocturn, and a man in multi-color armor in front of the original Master Core alter with the group walking towards it before the vision faded.
"Again, why show me this?" Emerald said in a confused tone before he was shocked when he heard a voice echo in his head.
"First for the truth, and second two gifts." ? said before the Master Emerald shined brightly before Emerald awoke with a start.
Reality/ Trial of Blades/ 2nd boss room/ Emerald, Nocturn, Leonel, Lillum
Emerald opened his eyes slowly before he sat up with a gasp before he looked around to notice that he was now sitting near a pillar of ice before a voice got his attention.
"Welcome back to the land of the living." ? said which made Emerald look over to his right to see Nocturn floating near him.
"How long was I out?" Emerald asked in a concerned tone before he rubbed his head in slight confusion.
Before Nocturn could answer though, Leonel and Lillum flew by like they were launched backwards before Leonel landed on her hands and feet like a cat when they land while Lillum floated to the ground after regaining her balance.
"Girls!" Emerald said in a surprised tone before running to the duo with concern which got their attention.
"Emerald dear!, your OK!" Lillum said before she flew over and hugging Emerald tightly which made Leonel's eye twitch.
"Lillum!... let... go!" Emerald said while he tried to pry Lillum off before Leonel spoke up.
"Will you two give it a rest!, we have company!" Leonel said when the temperature increased exponentially which got Emerald and Lillum's attention.
The group looked over to the massive ice spike before they saw that it was melting from the intense flame blast that was coming their way.
Outside the cave/ Elemental Group/ Kamikazix (Wind), Terragaia (Earth), Nebula (Lightening), Infernus (Fire), Oceanic (Water), Shiro (Light), Kuro (Dark), Nexus (Sage)/ Xan's Group/ Xan, Zack, Shunpei, Pluton
"Oh man!, Emerald's up, but how can they take a giant dragon?" Shunpei asked in a concerned tone for the group before Zack spoke up.
"No Idea." Zack said while he watched the battle with concern showing on his face.
Back to battle
"Scatter!" Leonel said before the Ice spike broke in half from the temperature difference after the group split in two, with Emerald and Lillim in one group, and Leonel and Nocturn in another group.
Emerald and Lillum went around and attacked from the side with Emerald jumping with darkness enhanced legs while Lillum floated back while chanting which created Ice pillars under Emerald for him to jump off of to get closer.
While on the other side Leonel was throwing spear after spear with good aim to distract Core from using a fire breath when they came too close to his head.
"Lillum, I need to get above him!" Emerald said to the succubus who spoke up.
"Right!" Lillum said before grabbing Emerald's hand and lifted him above Core before she started to swing him around while the scene shifted.
With the others
"Come on Emerald!" Shunpei said when he saw Lillum spin faster and faster. "You can do it kid!" Xan thought when he saw Emerald grip his right hand. "Please win!" Cream thought in worry. "Please return safely." Vanilla whispered when she looked on.
"Take him down Emerald!" Zack said punching a fist into his palm. "Go Emerald!" Tails said looking on. "Show us the impossible!" Pluton thought. "GO EMERALD!" Chise cheered while above them an eggbot was recording the footage on the screen to send back to eggman's base.
back to battle
"100% TO RIGHT ARM NOCTURN!" Emerald roared before Lillum tossed Emerald as hard as she could before flying to Leonel and Nocturn while Nocturn emitted a massive amount of energy before he spoke up.
"Right!" Nocturn said before he sent energy to Emerald while Core turned his head in Emerald's direction after hearing Emerald shout and breathed a blast of fire at Emerald which got closer at an extremely fast speed.
outside with Elemental's
"Charging straight ahead, Fun very fun!" Terragaia thought while he focused on the fight.
" A bit brutish for my taste but passable!" Nebula said before Infernus spoke up.
"Hmph, he's not out of it yet!" Infernus said with a frown on her face while she looked to the fight.
"Wonder what will happen next." Shiro and kuro thought while they held each others hands for comfort.
"Maybe I can look at that crest later, If still there." Nexus thought while she focused on the crest on Core's head.
"Go kid!" Oceanic Thought while he rooted for Emerald.
"Well... the moment of truth." kamikazix thought before the scene shifted.
Back to battle
Emerald swings his arm forward before he met the flame head on with Darkness against Flame which resulted at a standstill.
Another dimension
"Hoho!, who will win this struggle?" The red coat man said while he leaned back in the chair before watching this outcome while the crest on his head glowed brighter.
battle
"Dammit!, I need more power!" Emerald thought when the flames grew stronger before Emerald remembered his dark side and hope this idea of his worked.
"Oi you hear me dark?, If your really there, then give me power or we are both dead!" Emerald grunted out sense this was a life or death situation.
At first nothing happened, but then a voice echoed in Emerald head with a malicious tone.
Emerald's mind
"Hehehehehe!... Very well Light, just remember that you asked for it!" Dark said with a grin on his face when his own plan was working before he looked to the gate next to his feet before he held his hand over it before it opened to show a void of darkness before a pillar of dark energy shot out of it before the scene shifted.
Reality
When Emerald heard his darkside say that, he felt a rush of energy a moment after that made his body shudder before he felt his heart beat intensely before something snapped inside of him.
*heartbeat**heartbeat**heartbeat*
*SNAP*
with the other dungeon divers
"How long can Emerald last?" Leonel asked in a worried tone when Core's flames grew stronger.
"I don't know!, I'm sending as much as I can but I don't want Emerald to suffer backlash from absorbing to much energy!" Nocturn explained to the worried duo before Lillum spoke up.
"What can we do then!?" Lillum asked worried when Core's flames nearly covered Emerald's body.
"How should I know, It's not like we got any other cards to play!" Leonel said in a worried tone for everyone's safety.
Just then the trio felt a massive pressure of some sorts that made them freeze in shock before a blast of energy emitted form Emerald which made them Looked over in shock to see a large ball of dark energy where Emerald was.
Before they could react, the ball shrank and a figure was seen emerging slowly from the ball as it condensed, the ball shrank till it was absorbed into the persons chest, and what they saw shocked them.
It was Emerald and he looked like he was in his dark mode when he fought Steel, but it was different in a few ways.
1. dark mist was constantly seeping from him, like it could barely be contained in his body.
2. Instead of the regular mist like hair it was more like dark fire that trailed down his back. (The best I can say is think of Hades from Disney's Hercules if he had longer hair, instead of blue in color it was pure black in color.)
3. He was holding Cores fire blast back with a wall of darkness like it was nothing.
4. But Emerald looked like he was in Pain somehow, like the power he got was hurting him or the heat of the flames somehow hurt him, the three on the ground couldn't tell from where they were as the scene shifted.
outside
"The hell!?" Zack said in shock before he stood up to get a better look at Emerald.
"*gasp* E-Emerald!?" "Vanilla and cream gasped out at the same time from seeing the form Emerald took.
The rest of the group was stunned silent while the scene went to the Elemental's.
with the Elemental's
"What the hell!?, why does he look like Nocturn when he goes all out!?" Terragaia said in a shock tone when he saw Emerald's form before Kamikazix spoke up.
"I don't know, But I have a bad feeling things are about to get worse!" Kamikazix said in a worried tone before Infernus spoke up.
"How can things get worse now!?" Infernus said while the rest of the Elemental's were shocked silent at Emerald's display before the scene shifted.
Back to battle
"I got to end this fast!" Emerald thought while his body flared up in pain again before he flew upwards to avoid the breath of flame then towards Core before he put as much energy into his fist and swinged forward while Core got distracted.
The resulting blow hit Core straight on which resulted in a loud band before he heard a voice echo in his mind.
"Please help Core!" ? said which shocked Emerald when he didn't recognize the voice.
Before Emerald could wonder who spoke, Core was knocked onto his hind legs and fell to the ground injured but still alive before the scene shifted.
?/?/?/?
