"Welcome to the newest chapter of The Dimensional Saga, what is Bordux planning?, how will the Elemental's react to this revelation?, will they believe it or not?" TME said while he looked to the screen.
"Now for our tonight's guests, lets give a warm welcome to Terragaia and Nebula!" TME announced before two men walked in.
"Thank you for the invite TME I hope we were not a bother?" Nebula said with little sparkles appearing around his head before Terragaia spoke up.
"Kiss up." Terragaia said before he sat down before Nebula spoke up.
"Oh don't be jealous." Nebula said while taking a seat nearby before Terragaia replied.
"I'm not jealous!, your just being shallow!" Terragaia growled while standing up which made Nebula mimic Terragaia's actions before he spoke up.
"Shallow!?" Nebula growled before standing as well while electrical sparks emitted from his body.
Before a fight could start TME pushed a button on his chair and two glass like cages fell over the arguing duo which made them look to TME with confusion before he spoke up.
"Now before you two get the idea to attack the cage, I'd like to point out that this cage is from The Law of Ueki that I used on my previous account that reflects attacks back at the user, so I really recommend not doing any big attacks." TME said before he walked towards the main seat in the building before he spoke up.
"Now that the brawl was stopped before it began... lets start the story..." TME started to say before he held three fingers in the air before he continued.
IN 3!2!1! GO!

Last time
Emerald looked back up to the group before he spoke up.
"Yes... I'm 100% positive that the vision of Nocturn from the past said Borbux." Emerald said while Everyone looked at Emerald and then to the ground before they had various reactions, Lillum was clueless about Bordux which made her ask who he was which made Nocturn reply.
"Bordux is a sorcerer of great power, he was the main sage of the original shrine and was Nexus's predecessor and master, I have no idea what happened to him after I was banished but from what you might remember he might have been the one to alter the Master Core before I could stop him." Nocturn explained before Leonel spoke up.
Another dimension
"Hmhmhm, now then, I wonder how the Elemental's will deal with this info, HAHA I'll bet there will be discord now." Bordux said with a grin before he got up from hi chair.
"Now to put the final touches on my little greeting... now I wonder how you will deal with this Emerald, Hmhmhm!, HAHAHAHAHA!" Bordux said before he started to laugh while the scene fades to black.
Now
The scarring truth part 1
Dungeon party/ Emerald's group/ Trial of Blades/ floor 58/ Emerald, Nocturn, Leonel, Lillum, Core
The group walked down to floor 59 while Emerald thought that Nocturn was being oddly quiet before they walked along the path towards floor 60.
Looking around Emerald saw that there were no monsters or traps along the path like with floor 51-59 which was odd... because this seems too good for his tastes before he spoke up.
"Anyone else think this is too easy or is it just me being nervous?" Emerald asked which got the others attention before Core spoke up.
"Now that you mention it... your right, a couple floors empty... maybe, but 9 floors empty, now that's disturbing." Core said before drawing his blade Nova while the scene shifted.
Outside/ Cave entrance/ Xan's group/ Xan, Shunpei, Pluton, Zack, Vanilla, Cream, Chise, Tails/ Elemental group/
Everyone did wonder what was going on with the dungeon since monsters normally popped up way before now.
"I wonder what's going on..." Shunpei said with a nervous look on his face.
"Well... from what Emerald said earlier that is a really good question." Vanilla said when she heard both Emerald and Core speak up before the dungeon group got closer to floor 60.
"Indeed... lets just see were things go" Kamikazix said while the dungeon party got closer to the gate to floor 60 while the scene shifted.
?/?/ Knuckle, Rouge
"Finally made... it to the... chest here" Rouge said with an exhausted look on her face from the last fight before Knuckles spoke up.
"You can say that again." Knuckles said to Rouge before looking back towards the monster boss corpse that was twitching behind the duo before Rouge spoke up.
"let's open this thing and leave."Rouge said before she walked towards the chest after catching her breath.
Rouge opened the chest in question which made the duo grab one item each from the chest which caused the chest to vanish right before their eyes before they examined the items from the chest.
Looking at the items closely, the one Knuckles got was a red and silver helmet with a visor that completely masked his eyes while a jewel sat on the brow.(Picture Gawain's helmet from Sonic and the Black knight's but even older with a jewel on the forehead)
While Rouge got a pair of Boots that had a serrated blade on each shinguard before she spoke up.
"Wow how old are these?" Rouge said when she looked over the Items one more time.
"Hmm." Knuckles hummed before he put the helmet on, for a second nothing happens which made the duo shrug in slight disappointment.
Just then, before they could walk off of the platform they were one, the helmet shined a golden light which blinded the duo before they covered their eyes, or in Knuckles's case, close them as tight as he could.
The light died down after a minute and Rouge saw that they were outside of the cave somehow after she regained her eyesight after that light show.
"How did we get here?" Rouge said while she looked around the clearing before looking towards Knuckles which made her blush before she spoke up.
"Knuckles!, is that you!?" Rouge said which got Knuckles's attention before he spoke up a moment later.
"What do you mean is it me?" Knuckles asked with a confused tone before Rouge reached into her pocket before she pulled out a makeup mirror and showed Knuckles his reflection.
Knuckles looked into the mirror before he dropped it in shock at what he saw while Rouge caught the mirror before it could hit the ground.
The helmet turned brand new, not only that, but the shielded gauntlets turned into double crescent blades with chains linking into the gauntlets, a red breastplate was equipped to Knuckles's chest while his shoes turned into armor like boots that linked to the breastplate. (Picture Gawain in knuckles's place with a god of war fighting style from the blades of Athena from god of war ghost of Sparta)(If I get a job soon gonna save up for god of war collection for vita and for other games that come out)(wish me luck)
"Whoa this is some impressive equipment!" Knuckles said with wonder before hearing a voice speak up.
"Indeed, do take care of that helmet for me will you, it was forged in two separate dimensions, Not only that those blades are based on mine, Galatine." ? said which shocked the duo into looking over to see an Echidna spirit that looked like Knuckles's double standing nearby before Knuckles spoke up.
"Who are you!?" Knuckles said before he got his guard up before the ghost like being rolled his eyes.
"In another dimension, I am called Gawain, a Knight of the round table." Gawain stated to the further shocked duo before Knuckles spoke up again.
"Wait!, two separate dimensions!, how does that work?" Knuckles asked with a confused tone before Gawain spoke up.
"Not important now, what I have to tell you might as well make or break my reason for using my helmet to speak to you in this dimension." Gawain said which got the duo's attention.
Seeing as Knuckles and Rouge kept quiet, Gawain starts his tale while the scene shifts to the dungeon party.
Back to the slap up party (I really hope people get the reference.)
While the dungeon party walked to the stairs to floor 60 which came into view, the ground shook greatly which made the ground walking team fall while Lillum and Nocturn who floated above the group wonders what happened while Emerald, Core, and Leonel picked themselves up while Emerald spoke up.
"Ow... Whats going on!?" Emerald said while he rubs his head after getting up with Core and Leonel following suit.
After Nocturn examined the stairs he spoke up in a stunned tone.
"Someone altered the next floor!?" Nocturn explained which shocked all who heard, inside and out before Emerald group spoke up at the same time.
"WHAT!?" the others shouted at once while the scene shifted.
Outside with the observing parties
"The dungeon was altered!?" Xan gasped out in shock before Zack spoke up after rubbing his head.
"That a normal thing?" Zack asked hoping for good news before he scooted away from Xan in slight fear.
For a minute the group looked towards Xan with concern because he had a terrifying face before he got up to walked towards Kamikazix which got her attention before Xan spoke up with calm rage filling his voice.
"Kamikazix... I hope you can explain whats going on here because a Trial of blades is never suppose to be altered past normal parameters once the tester walks in." Xan said calmly though everyone could fell the rage rolling off of him in waves before Nebula spoke up.
"Now see here why don't you sit down and try to be nice to milady?" Nebula said smugly while he walked up to Xan.
"Boy!, you have no idea how sacred these tests are huh?" Xan growled out as his blood-lust starts to build which made everyone get their guard up before Nebula spoke up.
"No I don't, please enlighten me." Nebula asked with his cane in hand while everyone listened before Xan spoke up.
"Very well." Xan said while he started to calm down before he told his tale.
Trial of blades
"I'll give the short version then, the trial of blades is sacred for numerous reason..."
"But the main one is this... the test of the blade determines if the wielder is worthy of being the master of its power and is a way for the two to bond greatly, Not only does the blade read every single memory of the wielder, the wielder is granted a way to pass on the blade to whomever the wielder deems worthy."
"You literally bare your entire soul to the blade to see if your worthy of wielding its power." Xan explained while some of the group were shocked at the info while some were understanding before Shunpei spoke up.
"I wonder what happened then?" Shunpei said before the group looked towards the screen before the scene shifted.
Back to the Dungeon group
"So what now?" Lillum asked in a worried tone before Nocturn sighs before spoke up.
"We continue, no point going back." Nocturn said before the group followed after Nocturn before the group came to an empty room leading down to the next floor.
"Strange... this is the smallest room here." Nocturn said before floating forward with the others in tow.
When the group walked towards the stairs leading down a floor, a magic crest appeared under them so suddenly that just before they could move another step there was a bright light, blinding both the dungeon group and viewers outside the cave before the light died down to reveal something that shocked to all who saw before the scene shifted.
Outside
"That can't be what I think it is!?" Terragaia said with wide eyes before Infernus spoke up.
"But it is."Infernus said while she tried to make sense of this.
"Man oh man what happens next?"Oceanic said before the scene switched to Knuckles and Rouge right before the dungeon party got to floor 59.
Gawain's tale
"My story starts here, in Camelot waiting with Lancelot, Percival, Galahad, and Lamorak... We we're waiting on Arthur and Merlin because of a summons to the round table." Gawain said while the scene flashback to the castle.
?/Camolot/ round table room/ Gawain, Lancelot, Percival, Galahad, Lamorak
"I wonder were his Majesty is?" Percival said before she looked around the room when Arthur and Merlin where nowhere to be seen.
"Well we came as soon as we were summoned, I suggest we sit down and wait." Lancelot said before he sat down in his chair.
The other knights sat down in there respective chairs to wait for their king and court Arch-wizard for a few minutes before the door was pushed open with great force which caused the knights to draw there weapons in defense before a voice spoke up.
"Lower your weapons, It is I." An authoritative voice said before a large armored knight walked into the room while a cloaked figure followed silently before Galahad spoke up.
"A thousand apologize your grace!" Galahad said before putting his weapon away before being followed by the rest.
Walking over to his throne at the head of the table, Arthur sat down and sighs before Lamorak spoke up.
"Is there something wrong your Majesty?" Lamorak asked in concern before Arthur spoke up.
"Merlin used some of his spells and found a malevolent force which left unchecked could destroy this world." Arthur said which shocked the Knights before Gawain spoke up.
"Where's Merlin anyway?" Gawain asked before Arthur spoke up.
"I don't know, but he left his granddaughter in his stead until he returns, before you ask... she is trained by Merlin himself so that should speak of her skills if he allowed her to aid us." Arthur said before the cloaked figure walked up to the table and pulled the hood back to reveal the face beneath.
She had auburn hair tided into a braid that trailed behind her back, she also has blue eyes and elf like ears.
Her cloak disappeared magically to reveal that she wore a pink robe with a purple dress underneath, she summoned a staff with a green orb as large as her head before she spoke up.
"Greetings knights of the round, my name is Merlina, granddaughter of Merlin the arch-wizard, I hope I can help you with this threat." Merlina said while bowing before Lancelot spoke up.
"What is this threat exactly?" Lancelot asked before Arthur spoke up.
"We have no clue what the threat is exactly, however Merlin told me before he left that the seals that were placed on the event point by him would hold for about a year or so, maybe two if we are lucky." Arthur said with a grim tone before Galahad spoke up.
"What can we do until then?" Galahad asked while looking around the room with a concerned look before Lancelot spoke up.
"We train, that's what." Lancelot stated like it was a normal thing before Arthur spoke up.
"Training might not be enough for this fight." Arthur said while looking at Lancelot before Lamorak stood up from his chair.
"What do you mean Milord?, my speed can out run anyone." Lamorak said with a grin before Arthur spoke up after chuckling for a moment.
"Hmhmhm, Lamorak as always, you never cease to amuse me with those boasts of yours." Arthur said while Lamorak blushed in embarrassment before he sat back down before Arthur spoke up again.
"Jokes aside, we need a plan or we won't win, our numbers aren't exactly great, and even though we have the entire table here, including Merlina and myself, we only have seven top tier fighters." Arthur stated with a grim tone while he looked around the room before Gawain spoke up.
"Well what do we do then!, roll over and let them walk all over us?"Gawain growled out in anger before Merlina spoke up.
"Of course not, I have a plan, and it involves my dimensional magic..." Merlina states before the scene shifts back to Knuckles and Rouge.
Back to Knuckles and Rouge
"That is how the incident started and how the plan was formed." Gawain said before he lifts his right hand and images appeared under it.
"If you can find people who look like this, then bring them here within a year, I'll tell the rest of my tale and summon the rest of the equipment to this world." Gawain said before Knuckles and Rouge took a closer look at the images.
Looking towards the images, the duo saw the entire knights of the round table without there helmets equipped, a blacksmith version of Tails, and a royal looking version of Amy.
There was also some humans there as well, the recognizable ones were Emerald, Shunpei, Zack, and Chise, the rest were unknown people.
"Well... we can take out at least half of these people if we need to search for the doubles, but the others... I have no clue as to where to look." Knuckles said while pointing to the people ready to call after talking to everyone about this before Gawain spoke up.
"Well when you do find bring them, point the helmet towards them, and the helmet will do the rest." Gawain said before he vanished before Rouge spoke up after a minute of silence.
"What now Knuckles?" Rouge said before Knuckles took a moment to think before speaking up.
"Hmm... first off, let's head to the alter to put the master Emerald back in place before calling Tails." Knuckles said before walking to the telepad with Rouge in tow while the scene shifts.
back to the dungeon party
After the bright light died down, the group looked around to be shocked and confused as to how they got here of all places before Lillum spoke up.
"Where are we?" Lillum asked in wonder before Nocturn spoke up before anyone else did.
"I don't know how... but it seems we are at the original shrine, or a replica..." Nocturn said before he looked around the place while a feeling of nostalgia hit him hard.
The group looked around before wondering were to go when suddenly a familiar man appeared behind them which got their attention.
The group looked at the man closely to be shocked to see Nocturn in his human form.
"Well, well, well, good looking... what's cooking." Nocturn said smugly with the others rolling their eyes before looking back to the double who looked around the area to their confusion.
the double Nocturn ran ahead with the others chasing after it while Emerald and Nocturn got a sense of dayjavu.
after climbing up the stairs, the group saw that the double Nocturn stopped to see the wounded guardians on the ground which shocked Leonal and Core greatly.
The group, minus Emerald and Nocturn, had no time to wonder what happened before the double Nocturn ran up the stairs and towards the Master Core before the group hurried after the double.
the group saw the double Nocturn stop at the top of the stairs before running forward while the group chased after and reached the top of the stairs.
Just then, time seemed to stand still after some weird mist seeped on to the field.
Looking around the area, everyone saw that even the faraway flying Items seemed to stop before the group heard clapping and looked towards the Master Core with confusion at what was going on.
Looking closer the group saw the robed man turn to the group while clapping before ? spoke up.
"Welcome, welcome, I like to congratulate you all on making it this far, Leonel the unwitting pawn, thank you for you service, Lillum, thank you for your magical help, Core the now out of control warrior to complete the fighting force, Nocturn, The starting point and the unwitting fool." The robed man said which royally pissed off the four mentioned before turning his concealed head towards Emerald before giving a chilling smile which sent a great chill to all watching before the robed man spoke up again.
"Now the best for last, Emerald... the key to my plan..." the robe man said with a smile which caused the group to go wide eyed before the robed man spoke up again.
"And the new owner of Nocturn's body!" the robed man said loudly while holding his arms out wide which caused everyone, in and out of the cave, to be shocked silent while the scene faded black.

The Scarring truth part 2
"Well everyone here is the next chapter of The Dimensional Saga, what is the Robed man planning?, how did the Robed man do what he did?, How does Merlina's plan fit into this?, Find out next time on The Dimensional Saga!" TME said before he looked towards Terragaia and Nebula before letting them out.
"Well gentlemen, how do you like this story so far?" TME asked before Nebula spoke up.
"Hmm, not bad really if I must say."Nebula stated before Terragaia spoke up.
"Could use more action."Terragaia stated before TME spoke up.
"There will be action next time I can assure you." TME said before he walked the two Elemental's outside before walking back in before speaking up.
"Well readers, see you next time!" TME said bowing to the screen before the screen faded to black.
