"Welcome to the next chapter of THE V2, continuing from last time who is this cloaked man?, what is his plan?,and what is Merlina's plan to save her world?, find out here." TME said before speaking up again.

"Here are the three guests tonight, Nexus, Shiro, and Kuro everyone." TME said while the trio walked onto stage waving before TME continued.

"Welcome ladies, how are you this fine evening?, Hungry?" TME asked while the trio sat down before TME passed snacks around before Nexus spoke up.

"Not bad TME, nice ride on the way here." Nexus said before Shiro and Kuro spoke up.

"Yeah nice ride." Shiro and Kuro said before taking a few plates before TME spoke up.

"Well ladies lets get this story started..." TME started to say before he held up three fingers.

In 3!2!1! GO!

Time dungeon part 8/ Prequel arc

The scarring truth part 2

4 hours till time limit reached and 3 hours till robot compleation

last time

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 smiling 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.

Now

"What the hell do you mean Nocturn's body!?" Emerald said in great shock and confusion before ? spoke up.

"Simple my dear Emerald simple, it was all part of my plan after all, the changing of the Master Core, the banishment of Nocturn and the death of Helios, and you coming here to this world and this dungeon." The cloaked man explained before Lillum spoke up when she noticed that the others were stunned silent.

"But how?" Lillum asked in genuine confusion before the cloaked figure spoke up.

"I'm glad you asked my dear." the cloaked man said before the scene flashed back a few hundred years while he told his tale.

Original shrine/ unknown time


"You see, I was in the library of the shrine looking for a way to expand my knowledge and power when I found a most fascinating discovery." ? said while the scene switched to the man in the forbidden section of the library.

"Interesting, it seems that I'm not the only one looking for more power here." ? said before looking at a few more books to be sure before going deeper into the library.

"After heading deeper into the library I found a sealed door with seals from ancient times, I examined them for weeks, interested at what was inside, and found a keyword that led me into the deeper parts of the library that were never used sense the invasions for the Master Core." ? said while the scene shifted into the future.

"Finally I found the way, Hahaha!" ? said casting the unlocking seal on the door before it opened, he walked in and found a tome that emitted a massive aura of unknown origin.

"Interesting, very interesting." ? said before picking it up and the scene shifted back to the present.


Reality

"You see, that tome had knowledge that was not only forbidden but also very useful for making my plan happen, for you see I used one of the spells to convert the Master Core to its current more useful form." ? said before he started to walk down the stairs.

"What for?, The Master Core was more then powerful before, why convert it to what it is now?" Nocturn asked in confusion before the cloaked figure spoke up.

"I'm glad you asked Nocturn, you see it has a link to the original shrine so no one could use it in its present form because it was raw energy that only powered the beings already linked to it, I had no choice but to convert it to allow Emerald to use it." ? said further shocking everyone while the scene shifted.

Outside

"Did he just say what I think he said!?" Zack said in shock before Shunpei spoke up. "Y-yeah I think he said for Emerald to use, right?"Shunpei said while the others, even the Elemental's, were stunned silent while the scene shifted to Knuckles and Rouge.

With The duo a few minutes ago

Knuckles and Rouge teleported to the shrine before Knuckles used the Chant of Chaos to return the master Emerald to normal size before Rouge spoke up.

"Huh?, it seems I hear voices." Rouge said her ears perking in response.

"Where?" Knuckles asked looking towards Rouge before she spoke up. "Hmm... over there." Rouge said pointing towards the Cave of trials. "Lets use the telepad and see whats going on." Knuckles said before equipping the Helmet again and transformed into his knight form before they stepped onto the pad to teleport to the voices.

Cave of trials

After teleporting to the trial of blades pad and walking to the cave entrance, the two saw that Xan was there with a lot pf people in the area which surprised them both before Rouge spoke up.

"Whoa!, why are there so many people here?" Rouge said getting everyone's attentions before Tails spoke up. "Rouge and...who's that?" Tails said making Knuckles stumble which made the helmet come off before the armor to vanished before Cream spoke up.

"Knuckles!?" Cream gasped shocked before the angered Echidna stood up while speaking up.

"Oh come on who else here is a living Echidna!?, armor or not." Knuckles growled out before picking the helmet up and putting the helmet back on which caused the armor to reform while the others to sweatdropped before Xan spoke up.

"Sorry but we have no time to hear explanations look." Xan said pointing to the screen with Emerald's group running up the shrine steps after a replica of Nocturn before coming up to the Master core which made Knuckles and Rouge confused before Knuckles spoke up.

"What's that?" Knuckles asked while looking at the glowing orb before time there froze. "That Echidna is the Master core, or the previous form of the master Emerald before it was sent here to this Dimension." Kamikazix said nearby which shocked the group that didn't hear about the book of ancients before Cream spoke up.

"Why was it sent here in the first place then?, wouldn't it seem smarter to guard it where it once was?" Cream asked while Kamikazix smiled before walking forward towards Cream before speaking up.

"Well sweety the place was once broken into before so to be safe we had to move it after it was altered, if we kept it there it might have been stolen, understand?" Kamikazix said before she looked towards the screen with the others looking in turn.

They saw the man clap a few times before saying some insulting complements to the two guardians, the succubus, and Nocturn, but what he said shocked them all when the man looked towards Emerald smiling which gave a great chill to all watching before he continued.

"Now the best for last, Emerald, the key to my plan." The robe man said smiling 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 before Terragaia spoke up.

"Did he say what I think he said!?" Terragaia whispered in disbelief before he saw Emerald's frightened look only confirm what he heard.

They heard Emerald ask how it was possible before the men spoke about the forbidden tome and how the Master Core was altered before they heard something that shocked them even further.

"What for, The Master Core was powerful before, why convert it to what it is now?" Nocturn asked before the cloaked figure spoke up.

"I'm glad you asked Nocturn, you see It has a link to the original shrine no one could use it in its present form because it was raw energy that only powered the beings already linked to it, I had no choice but to convert it to allow Emerald to use it." ? said further shocking everyone before Zack spoke up.

"Did he just say what I think he said!?" Zack said shocked before Shunpei spoke up. "Y-yeah I think he said for Emerald to use, right?" Shunpei said with the others even the Elemental's were stunned silent before the scene shifted back to the dungeon group.

Emerald's group

"What do you mean for my use?" Emerald whispered in a horrified tone at what that could mean before the the cloaked man spoke up.

"Simple, haven't you always wondered why you have those visions, those flashbacks, and those abilities, not only that but why aren't you afraid of the monsters here?, hmm?" ? said before he stepped to the level they were on.

Emerald in shocked more and more at the mans words could only stammer.

"Uh...ah..." Emerald stammered before the man chuckled before speaking up. "Hahaha!, well its to be expected, after all I bet no one saw this coming." ? said before Emerald remembered something.

"Y-Your that shadow like figure from before aren't you!?" Emerald said confusing all with ? smirking before the man spoke up again. "Good job Emerald." ? said as he kept his gaze towards Emerald before Emerald shouted at the man.

"WHO ARE YOU!?" Emerald shouted before ? spoke up. "Why Emerald, you should know that answer already." ? said walking up to Emerald with a smirk.

Just then Emerald got wide eyed before speaking up which shocked the Elemental's at what he said. "B-Bordux!" Emerald said before the man unclasped the cloak and spoke up as it fell to the ground.

"Well done Emerald, well done, seems the visions are as accurate as I heard." Bordux said while everyone took in the mans appearance.

Bordux wore a red trench coat that went down to his ankles and wore black boots with many clasps with a couple chains linking the two boots, his pants were oddly neat with chains there as well that were sown into the fabric somehow.

His shirt was pure black, his hair was red with black highlights and his eyes were pure red and they glowed a bit with some energy.

The real kicker was a crest that shined on his forehead before he spoke up.

"Why is there a crest on you?" Core asked with his guard up before Bordux spoke up.

"Simple my hotheaded friend, this is not my body, I'm controlling this past version from were I'm at, also Id like to say a few things to the group watching from outside." Bordux said before turning his head to the screen to talk to the onlookers while the scene shifted.

Outside

"What could he want?" Xan said looking towards the stunned Elemental's before Bordux spoke up.

"Well Elemental's, here is were we part ways, it was fun for awhile, but I got what I came here for at the Original shrine, my sincere apologize Nexus for not completing your training, so as a parting gift I leave my study and all it holds to you, what ever you decide its up to you." Bordux said while he faced the screen before Nexus shouted which shocked all who heard.

"What the hell!?, He pulls this then he just gives me his study?, What just happened!?" Nexus shouted out confused before Bordux spoke up.

"And to the other Elemental's I have nothing but a fond farewell to you all." Bordux said while the scene shifted back to the dungeon group.

Inside

"Who are you talking to?" Lillum asked looking around the room to see who Bordux was talking to before Bordux spoke up.

"Well my dear succubus, I'm speaking to the observers outside who are using a special vision magic to see in here with Emerald's friends, They heard everything we said as well." Bordux said before Emerald spoke up.

"Well I doubt they'll believe you." Emerald said shaking a bit before Bordux spoke up again.

"My dear Emerald why would I lie, I have nothing to gain by saying otherwise."Bordux said smiling while walking towards Emerald before the others got in front of Emerald on guard before Leonel spoke up.

"I don't know why you want him, but you wont get him while were here." Leonel growled out which made Bordux stop in his tracks and smiles before he looks towards Emerald before speaking up.

"Well then, I guess its time for a little test then to see how strong you all are." Bordux said before holding his hands straight out to either side of his body which confused Emerald and Lillum for a moment while Nocturn, Core, and Leonel, got ready for whats to come.

Just then Bordux summons a blade to his right hand that had runes and crests on the blade, the handle looked like a fusion of metal and wood, while an odd staff appeared on the other, it looked like a twisted piece of a branch with a handle carved into the wood near the top with runes that somehow glowed red, little runes were floating away from the imprints like smoke or something.

"Get Ready and hope you don't die!" Bordux said smiling before he charged the group and before they could move he vanished which made the group spread out a bit so they could keep an eye out for Bordux.

Emerald, Nocturn, Leonel, Core, and Lillum VS Bordux (Round 1)

Just then Brodux appeared near Core and started to fight one on one while Emerald and Leonel ran up and tried to back up Core while Lillum and Nocturn hanged back to support the trio.

Bordux then used a crest to summon a wall of fire between the group so that he can see how good each of them are one one on one before he resumed his fight with Core.

*CLANG**CLANG**BASH**CLANG**BASH*

The duo fought for a few minutes while the others looked on in worry before Bordux decided to take things up a notch and use his magic to boost his speed, grab Cores face and threw him into the wall nearby with a crest somehow crashing into Core right after which caused him to literately be stuck like a rock in a hard place before Core spoke up.

"G-GAH!, I-I can't m-move!" Core groaned out while the pressure strengthened before everyone shouted in worry.

"CORE!" The group yelled in worry sense they had no idea how to help before Bordux spoke up. "Well now, that was hardly fun I'd say." Bordux said while he dispelled the flames with a smirk before Leonel launched towards Bordux in anger.

"DAMN YOU!" Leonel roared out while her eyes glowed bright yellow while she charged with Spear and sword combo before Emerald called out in worry.

"LEONEL WAIT!" Emerald shouted before giving chase while having a bad feeling about this.

As soon as Leonel jumped to attack Bordux, he vanished, grabbed Leonel by the face like he did Core, and thrust Leonel into the wall with another Crest that held her there before Emerald yelled in worry.

"LEONEL!" Emerald yelled worried before Bordux spoke up in a slightly mocking tone." Don't worry, their not harmed much, after all I don't want others to interfere, Plus there is the added effect of an audience." Bordux said flickering into view after he moved to the middle of the room.

"What do you want with me anyway?, why attack us!?, And how the hell do I have Nocturn's body of all things!?" Emerald asked in a worried tone while looking at Core and Leonel when they tried to get free before Bordux spoke up.

"Well... as to the attacking part, It is a test of sorts to see if you will be able to fight people at my level, or near it, after all you are the main point of my plan." Bordux said smiling while seizing up the succubus and keeping an eye on Nocturn before Bordux continued.

"As to the part about you having his body that's vary easy to answer, Let me ask you this, why doesn't Nocturn's powers hurt you like it hurt your Echidna friend?, how it reacted to Pluton scanning Nocturn's prison and charred his arm after?, Why did it react to your emotions after finding out about Pluton being nearly destroyed, and how did you manage to come back from losing your mind to the darkness?, and why do you have a darkside hmm?" Bordux said while he circled Emerald with a hand on his shoulder before Emerald and Lillum could react while Emerald shook at the questions before Bordux continued.

"And how are you able to fight against monsters you never fought before like that monster who nearly ate Leonel, and Core in his Dragon form." Bordux asked as he walked in front of Emerald who looked paler and paler as the Questions kept coming.

"Also finally where do you think Nocturn's body went hmm?, Elemental's can't normally die unless killed that's an Ironclad rule, though Shiro and Kuro were created by the Master Core to help keep balance as the new Elemental's of light and darkness." Bordux said before he continued.

"Helios's spell was not a killing spell, like you and others might have guessed, it was a powerful banishment spell if you can remember right?" Bordux said as he walked around Emerald again before he spoke up.

"You see, Nocturn's powers and mind are in that little gem there, His body on the other hand went to a dimension that barely had magic, It had to reform on a fetus that barely developed in a mothers womb and fuse with it in order to survive in that wasteland of non-magic." Bordux said which made Emerald turn pale again at what was said with Bordux noticing.

"Hehe, I see you get what I'm saying, not only was Nocturn's body reset so to speak, it was useful huh, barely getting sick compared to others, gets stronger only after a short workout, though from what I heard the workout didn't last long, not only that it adapted and absorbed a little darkness back every now and then after you came to this world, am I right?" Bordux said smiling when Emerald stepped back a bit before Bordux continued.

"And to the part about you being the key part of my plan, simple, you are the one who will kill the gods who reside where the new Master Core resides." Bordux said shocking all who heard before Nocturn spoke up.

"What the hell do you mean!?, not only will that make all magic disappear, it will destroy some dimensions that are dependent on magic to exist!" Nocturn shouted at Bordux when he didn't believe what he was hearing before Bordux spoke up.

"Not true Nocturn, Its the new Master Core supplying the magic, not the Gods, they regulate the Magic to worlds that barely need it and leave others with just a trickle, do you really think that's fair?" Bordux said before he started to walk towards a shocked Emerald before he spoke up.

"So what do you say Emerald, join me?" Bordux said before reaching his hand out to Emerald who froze from an odd pressure that completely restricted his movements.

Just then a wall of Ice appeared between the before they looked towards Lillum who spoke up.

"Your not taking Emerald from me that's for sure!" Lillum said before she summoned a few ice spikes that floated over Lillum, all aimed at Bordux.

Just then Bordux chuckled which confused all who heard before Bordux spoke up while his eyes flared with a red mist like light before turning to normal.

"Oh my dear, that's not your call I'm afraid, for you see..." Bordux then vanished which shocked all in the room before they heard Bordux's voice echo throughout the room.

"How can you make one when your pushed against the wall." Bordux said before he grabbed Lillum like Core and Leonel before being shot back so fast before she was pinned against the wall like the others with a crest holding her.

"LILLUM!" Emerald shouted in concern while looking towards Lillum but heard a voice that made him turn around in shock.

"You should really keep an eye on your opponent, It could get you Killed." Bordux said while Emerald turned around.

Looking over, he saw Bordux charging him before he could put a guard up, just then Bordux used his staff to break Emerald's building guard, he then use the staff to get Emerald off balance before he spoke up.

"Hope you like this technique of mine, I made it myself after studying multiple fighting styles in multiple dimensions." Bordux said while Emerald's eyes got wide before Bordux thrust his right hand forward in a palmstrike after his sword vanished while a blue colored aura covered his hand.

"Shockwave Cannon!" Bordux said with a grin when the attack connected with Emerald's stomach before Emerald flew back to the entrance of the room before skidding to a halt before gripping his stomach not only from pain from Bordux's hit but confusion while Bordux himself grinned while the others looked to Emerald in worry.

Emerald then felt an extreme amount of pain radiate from where Bordux hit before feeling ill which made him cover his mouth.

Emerald then felt weak, extremely so, before he fell to his knees before he threw up a great amount of blood that pooled in from of him before he fell forward onto the pool of blood while Emerald's groups froze in shock while the scene shifted.

outside the cave

"No!" Vanilla whispered while covering her mouth in horror at what happened while the others stayed silent before Zack shouted in anger.

"DAMMIT CANT WE DO ANYTHING!" Zack shouted before Kamikazix spoke up. "For once I agree, but we won't make it, even if the cave allowed it they are 60 floors down." Kamikazix said to Zack before she looked towards the screen before Chise spoke up.

"Ugh!, I hate not being able to do anything." Chise said while rubbing her stomach from where Bordux hit Emerald from seeing Emerald on the ground while the scene shift.

Back to battle

"Hahaha!, well Emerald what now?" Bordux said which knocked everyone out of their stupor before Nocturn rushed to Emerald to help.

"HANG ON EMERALD!" Nocturn shouted before he sped towards Emerald before a crest appeared above Nocturn which slammed him down before pinning Nocturn there while Emerald weakly spoke up.

"N-no Noc-Nocturn!" Emerald stammered before trying to get up but failed when he fell back down to the pool of blood under him while his stomach erupted in pain.

Battle end

"Pity, I thought you could put up a better fight then that, Oh well seems I was to early." Bordux said before he turned his back towards Emerald while his weapons vanished before speaking to himself.

"Now what to do with you all, hmm, Oh I know I can put Core under my control again and use him as a soldier or make him stay as a dragon and send him to die in a gladiatorial fight." Bordux said smiling while Emerald froze in shock before Bordux continued.

"Now what to do with Leonel, Ah ha, perhaps I can control her as well, or maybe I can have her turn back into a lion and Have her killed and stuffed or skinned into a rug." Bordux said before giving a chilling smirk while the others froze in terror while Emerald kept silent.

"What to do with a Succubus, maybe strip her of her powers and send her to a brothel in a separate dimension, or maybe call one of my men to tear her apart and use the components as regents for spells, decisions, decisions." Bordux said before his grin a chilling grin got wider while Everyone but Emerald tried to get out of the crests grasp and notice Emerald wasn't moving which got Bordux's attention.

"Dead yet?" Bordux said walking forward to Emerald before everyone heard Emerald speak while Bordux stepped in the pool of blood.

"Why?" Emerald whispered when he begged for an answer before Bordux replied with a grin.

"Why?, ah about that, why not ask yourself that Emerald." Bordux said while he leaned down over Emerald before Emerald spoke up.

"W-What?" Emerald said while he tried to look up to only that Bordux walked away before speaking.

"Well its obvious really If my plan worked or not, If you never came to this dimension Ivo Robotnik would have never made Steel and all those people wouldn't have died, Not only that Vanilla and Cream would have never been taken and poor Cream would have never been scarred because you were to slow to rescue her, and you were definitely to slow to Help poor Pluton, he repaired well but the fact of the matter is you were to slow and weak to help anyone." Bordux said which made Emerald freeze while making the others really pissed off, in the dungeon and out.

"Not to mention Poor, Poor, Shunpei" Bordux said holding his hand over his heart before grinning while Emerald's head shot upwards to look at the mad sage before speaking up.

"What?" Emerald whispered in horror before Bordux continued.

"Well you heard Shunpei right?, his parents died back in the Steel incident after all, and its because you were too slow to help like usual." Bordux said as Emerald looked back down with a wide eyed look before Bordux continued after tapping his chin a few times.

"Now who else, ah how could I forget the soldier, Zack fair right?, you may have saved him but left him no way home, may as well call him a ghost in his world." Bordux said before he walked around the room while continuing.

"And how can we forget poor Nocturn, he may have been banished because of my plans, but your the one who has his body." Bordux finished with Emerald looking towards Nocturn who was still pinned before Bordux continued.

"Lets not forget Chise as well, she was a simple bystander who got caught in this thanks to you after all, like all the others who wanted a hero but couldn't because you were to slow as usual" Bordux said before he looked to Emerald before speaking up.

"So any rebuttal to my claims?" Bordux smiled as Emerald couldn't even speak before Bordux spoke up.

"You know I may just leave with my prizes and you alone again, we can see if you are stronger next time." Bordux said before he waved to Emerald while he walked towards Lillum who in fright.

"KEEP AWAY FROM ME YOU PSYCHO!" Lillum shouted while she struggled against the crest.

over with Emerald

"NO KEEP AWAY FROM HER!" Emerald shouted while he tried to get up but failed and fell while Bordux ignored Emerald to reach towards Lillum while we go to Emerald's thoughts.

Emerald's thoughts

Emerald had various thoughts but the main ones were like this

"Is it my fault?..." Emerald thought before another thought shot into his head.

"Have I really brought nothing but trouble to others..." Emerald thought when he remembered what Infernus said about Steel's creation was because of him before another thought shot into his head

"Am...Am I really a burden?" Emerald thought while the scene went to reality

Reality

Just then Emerald rose his fist before he hit the ground and shouted which caused all to look towards him, some confused, some in shock, while Bordux kept his grin.

"WHY AM I SO WEAK!(Do you want Power?)" Emerald shouted before he tried to get up but failed again.

"WHY CAN'T I PROTECT ANYONE!(Power to protect your Friends and loved ones?)" Emerald shouted once again as he started to hit the ground with his right fist.

"WHY WAS I EVER BORN IF I JUST KEEP BRINGING PAIN TO OTHERS!?(Power Enough to destroy all in your way?)" Emerald shouted before he hit the ground one more time, this time with a spiderweb crack that formed on the ground before he continued.

"First Pluton nearly dies because of my stupid request!" Emerald said while he looked down before dark energy started to leak out of Emerald which shocked all who saw before Emerald continued.

"Then Vanilla and Cream get taken by that Steel bastard!" Emerald said before he started to get up while the Dark lines appeared again which shocked all in the room while Nocturn looked to Emerald in worry while Emerald continued again.

"Cream got hurt... because I was to damn weak... and slow!" Emerald said before he got to his knees with more darkness leaking from him while Bordux grinned before summoning his weapons again while Emerald continued.

"Shunpei lost his family... because I was so damn slow, and all those people died... because Robotnik made that bastard Steel!" Emerald said while the Darkness started to grow across his body.

"Zack maybe stranded here... all because of me!" Emerald said as darkness leaked out of his legs and arms next.

"Chise... she had nothing to do with this and I got her hurt as well!" Emerald said before darkness leaked out of his back and shoulders while the scene shifted.

Outside

"WHAT THE HELL!?, HOW CAN HE BLAME EMERALD FOR ALL OF THAT!?" Chise shouted while some of the others voiced an agreement.

"I don't know, and honestly I don't care, I just want to knock this bastard around." Zack said pissed off at his friends state before Pluton spoke up.

"Affirmative, I would like to.. how some would say .. Beat the crap out of him." Pluton said as the rest agreed before looking back to the screen.

The others looked back to the screen while they saw that more and more darkness poured of Emerald and he took a familiar stance that caused Pluton to shout which surprised everyone, even the Elemental's, sense Pluton was normally the calmest of the group.

"EMERALD DON'T, THAT COULD KILL YOU!" Pluton shouted while the screen switched back to the battle.

Replica shrine

"I won't let anyone here die... even if it takes away my humanity... even if it kills me... even if it destroys my soul or whatever I don't care!" Emerald said before he took a familiar stance confusing all but Bordux who's grin spread further across his face before Emerald spoke up.

"Pluton If you can hear me I'll be using one of your techniques and warping it for my use." Emerald said before he thought to himself.

"Get ready Dark, because if not we both die, I want so much power that I can tear this son of a whore apart." Emerald though while the scene shifted to Emerald's mind

Deep in Emeralds Mind

Looking up from a giant gate that had various crests and glyphs the gate started to open before Dark spoke up.

"Hehe!, yeah I know, get ready for this Light because this really gonna hurt after patching you up!" Dark said before ablack pillar erupted from the gate behind him before he spoke up.

"After all, this is much more Darkness then last time, hope that plan of yours works, or I'll step in." Dark said before the scene shifted to reality.

Reality

What happened next would shock all in horror, after he took the stance, a purple aura erupted from his body before he roared out which surprised everyone.

"IF THIS DOESN'T, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL!" Emerald roared before he roared out one more time.

"DARKNESS OVERDRIVE!" Emerald roared beforea massive pillar of darkness erupted under him before turning turning blood red before it started to warp and twist into a vortex while the rest could only watch in horror because unlike last time, were Emerald was OK Mentally, this time Emerald was unstable.

The vortex then sped up and shrank before a form was seen which made everyone look at Emerald in horror.

Emerald now looked like a demonic looking monster, he looked like a demonic version of himself, His entire body glowed red in various areas, red mist was leaking from him, his nails now looked like claws, and his teeth looked extremely sharp, veins were bulging in various place like his body could barely contain the darkness surging inside while a pure black aura emitted from him like a storm.

His eyes opened shortly after his body appeared, they were pure white for a moment before turning completely black, then purple catlike eyes with no pupils appeared right after.

All in all, Everyone was horrified at the transformation while the scene faded to black.

3 hours and 45 minutes till dungeon completion and 2 hours and 45 minutes till robot retairs

next time

the scarring truth part 3

"Well people here is the next chapter of THE V2, what could that transformation be?, What will happen to the dungeon group next time?, can I stop asking rhetorical questions and get to the next chapter already?" TME asked while Shiro and Kuro giggles before Nexus spoke up.

"Well that was a interesting read." Nexus said when she looked over the material before TME spoke up. "Thanks I try my best, also just a reminder I use a disclaimer for all but OC's and their moves, that means I don't own sonic and company and other characters and there respective worlds." TME said when he looked over the screen for typos.

"I'm looking for constructive reviews to help make this story better, please help if you see typos, misspells, or cut segments for some reason." TME asked the viewers before Shiro and Kuro spoke up.

"Kinda hard if you have no viewers though." Shiro and kuro said which TME fell to his hands and knees in shock before he cried out.

"It's not my fault that my story barely gets around and I can only type so fast alright!?"TME cried out with tears before he got up, wiped his eyes, and spoke up.

"So... aside from mocking me how was the story?" TME asked before the trio thought for a minute before Nexus spoke up.

"well it seemed kinda rushed here and there to me." Nexus stated before TME sweatdropped before speaking."OK, 1. I went over that on a previous chapter or two ago, 2. This is the prequel arc, It doesn't go on the canon stories till later." TME states while Nexus nodded before Shiro and Kuro spoke up.

"Why give Emerald a hard time?" Shiro and kuro asked before TME spoke up.

"Hmm that's a tough one to answer, I guess you can say its based on my own experiences just warped into the story for flare, also to those who get here unlike Emerald I'm still a virgin sadly, Trust issues mainly, so no friends sadly, Id rather die of old age a virgin then just give it up to a random women I barely know." TME said while the three looked at TME with looks of pity which made him cry out again.

"I don't need your pity!" TME cried out before he fell to the ground with tears falling to the ground while the trio said goodbye to the viewers before they left while TME struggled to get up before he spoke up.

"W-well folks you know my secret, please don't pity or laugh, I try to make good stories alright!, now its time to upload this now so good-bye and see you next time." TME said exhausted at the jabs the twins shot him with while the scene faded to black while he sat back down in the chair.
