In a dark hot cavern, a cage was hanging from a long chain. Razor lied in the cage wrapped in more chains "Now, I know what you're thinking. Oh, no! Razor's in a cage. How did this happen? Well, sometimes you have to get captured just to get a straight answer out of somebody. It's a long story, but basically, I'm a bit of a hero. See, I spent some time on Mobius, fought some robots, saved the planet a couple of times, the universe once. Then I went searching through the cosmos for some magic, colourful Phantom Gem things. Didn't find any. That's when I came across a path of death and destruction which led me all the way here into this cage where I met you". He looks at a skeleton he was sharing the cage with, its jaw drops off "How much longer do you think we'll be here?". The cage suddenly opens underneath him. He drops down and the chain stops him just above the cavern floor. He spins around and faces a giant armoured lava monster with four tentacle like arms "Razor, son of Striker" "Iblis, son of a bitch. You're still alive. I thought my father killed you a half a million years ago". Iblis sat back in his throne "I cannot die. Not until I fulfil my destiny and lay waste to your home". Razor grinned "You know, it's funny you should mention that. Because I've been having these terrible dreams of late. Lost Hex up in flames, falling to ruins. And you, Iblis, are at the centre of all of them" "Then you have seen Ragnarök, the fall of Lost Hex. The great prophecy-" "Hang on!". Razor now had his back to him "I'll be back shortly". He slowly spun back around "I really feel like we were connecting there".
He finally makes it back around "Okay, so Ragnarok. Tell me about it. Walk me through it" "My time has come. When my helmet is reunited with the flame of Solaris I shall be restored to my full might. I will tower over the mountains and bury my claws in the Hex" "Oh, hang on. Give it a second". Razor again had his back to Iblis "I swear I'm not even moving. It's just doing this on its own. I'm really sorry". He finally made it back around "Okay, so let me get this straight. You're going to put your crown into the Solaris Flame and then you'll suddenly grow as big as a house?" "A mountain!". Razor nodded at his mistake "The Flame of Solaris that Striker keeps locked away on Lost Hex?". Iblis smirked "Striker is not on the Hex". This got Razor's attention and he listened intently "And your absence has left the throne defenceless" "Okay, so where is it? This helmet?" "The source of my power" he points at his armoured head. Razor narrowed his eyes "Oh, that's a helmet. I thought you had an outside skull or something" "It's a helmet" Iblis said defensively. Razor shrugged "Anyway, it sounds like all I have to do to stop Ragnarok is rip that thing off your head". Iblis laughed and stood up from his throne "But Ragnarok has already begun. You cannot stop it". He walks over to Razor and lifts him to eye level "I am the Hex's doom and so are you. All will suffer, all will burn" "Oh, that's intense. To be honest, seeing you grow really big and set fire to a planet would be quite the spectacle". He grinned smugly "But it looks like I'm gonna have to choose option B where I bust out of these chains, knock that fancy hat off your head, and stash it away in Lost Hex's vault" "You cannot stop Ragnarök. Why fight it?". Razor opened up his hand "Because that's what heroes do".
Nothing happens making Razor sigh "Wait, I'm sorry. I didn't time that right". There was a rumbling making Razor grin "And, now!" he breaks free and catches the Black Sword as it flies by. He lands on the ground in front of Iblis who growled "You have made a grave mistake, Son of Striker" "I make grave mistakes all the time". A large lava serpent climbs out of the dark "Everything seems to work out" "Whoaaa Whoaaaa Whoaaa Whoaaa Whoaaaa!". Thousands of Iblis' minions climb out of the rock and charged at Razor "Hey all (hey all) welcome to the greatest storm". Razor cuts a few in half before the others jump him "I know (I know) you have waited much too long". Razor summons a bolt of lightening taking the ones on top of him out and then begins killing the others. He then throws the sword which spins around him killing any who get close "And I (and I) I will be your shining star". Razor catches the sword and stabs it into the ground sending a surge of lightening killing all the minions "I'm here (I'm here) here to conquer near and far". Iblis growls and opens his mouth wide firing a beam of fire at Razor who blocks it with his sword "Like the sun (the sun) I run (I run). Into the heat of day". Razor leaps forward and gets multiple cuts on Iblis before stabbing right though his head "Like a knight (a knight), I'll fight (I'll fight). Until the fight is won". The helmet falls to the ground and his body seems to be absorbed into it. Razor picks it up and sees more minion surrounding him "Armand, I know it's been a while, but I could really use a fast exit". He raises his sword but nothing happens "Armand?".
At Chaos Control there was a grey rabbit wearing a blue shirt with yellow shoulder pads and an eye patch on his left eye. He was talking to two woman "Armand was an idiot. This job should have made him rich. Now, the job ain't easy but it does have its benefits. Chaos Control gives me access to everything the Nine Zones has to offer. I mean it's all mine for the taking. Behold…". He walks over to a stash of weapons and other objects "My stuff" the women were impressed. Jack took out two machine guns "I'm particularly fond of these. I pulled them out of a place on Mobius called "Lethal Highway. I even named them. Des and Troy. You see, when you put them together, they destroy".
Razor kept fighting off the minions when the serpent broke its chains and charged at him. Razor flew upwards breaking through the roof of the cavern. He lands back down and holds up his sword again "Armand, come on". The serpent crashes through the ground and tries to eat Razor. He drops his sword inside the mouth, and it drops down pinning the serpent to the ground "Stay! Armand? I'm running short on options".
One of the women looked back at the Chaos Control sword hearing Razor's voice "Um… Jack. Is that important?". Jack drops the dumbbell he was holding and ran over to the sword "You girls are in for a treat" he twists the sword.
Razor calls his sword to him and flies away as fast as he can. The serpent flies after him. It closes in on him with its mouth wide open when the portal appears. Razor lands back in Chaos Control. Jack's two girls look impressed when the serpents head falls through next covering the two of them in green blood. The woman both screamed and ran out "Girls!" Jack yelled. Razor stared at Jack confused as he advanced on him "Well, well, well. Look who decided to pop in. Thanks for scaring away my company and drenching my workplace in brains" "Who are you?". Jack looked offended "Don't you remember? I'm Jack. We fought together on Jungle Zone" "Right. Where is Armand?" "That traitor. No one knows. He's a fugitive of the throne". Razor's eyes narrowed "Traitor?" "Yeah. Well, you see, Striker charged Armand with negligence of duty, but he disappeared before the trial. Hard to catch a guy who can see everything in the universe. Sure". Razor walked past him ready to leave but Jack shook his head "Hold on. I'm supposed to announce your arrival". Razor ignores him and flies across the bridge to the city. Jack sighs and runs after him.
Razor lands on a rooftop near the palace and sees a giant statue of Scourge with his arms outstretched "What the hell is that?". Razor walked past a crowd and saw that they were watching a play with two actors. One was a slightly larger shark who was playing Razor. He was holding a green hedgehog actor who was Scourge. The Razor actor was crying "Oh, brother. This is it. I take my leave" "You fool, you didn't listen". Razor actor looked back at four actors playing Uma and the three warriors "Lady Uma, get help!" "Somebody help!" the Uma actress yelled running off stage. Striker watched the play happily while eating grapes as the Scourge actor had a look of guilt "Sorry for all I've done" "Shh. It's alright. Hold on" "I'm sorry I tried to rule Mobius". The Razor actor smiled "They'd be lucky to have you" "I'm sorry about that thing with the Cube. I just couldn't help myself". The Razor actor nodded "I know" "I'm a trickster". He cried "So mischievous" "Sorry about that time I turned you into a frog" "It was a wonderful joke". Striker chuckled "Twas indeed hilarious". The Razor actor held his brother close "You are the savior of Lost Hex" "Tell my story. Build a statue of me" "We will build a big statue for you. I will tell father what you did here today". Striker watched intently before mouthing "I didn't do it for him" "I didn't do it for him" the Scourge actor said before pretending to die. A choir next to the stage started to sing as the Razor actor flung his head back and holding his hands up "NOOOO!". An old squirrel next to Razor started crying much to Razor's disgust. A dolphin dressed as Striker walked on stage "And so, Scourge died of his wounds giving his life for ours. He fought back that disgusting snake, he brought peace to the realm. Scourge, my boy".
A child appeared on stage wearing a box which was painted to look like flaming rock "Twas many moons ago I found you on that flaming battlefield. On that day, I did not yet see in you Lost Hex's saviour. No. You were merely a little red baby rock that melted this old fool's heart". Everyone applauded including Striker who gave a standing ovation "Bravo! Bravo! Well done. Bravo" the actors bow. Razor waves at Striker "Father". Striker takes a sip of whine when he notices Razor "Oh, shit. Uh, my son, Razor, has returned! Greetings, my boy". Razor walked over to him "It's an interesting play. What's it called?" "The Tragedy of Scourge of Lost Hex. The people wanted to commemorate him". Razor shrugged "Ah, indeed they should. I like the statue. A lot better looking than he was when he was alive, though. A little les weaselly, less greasy, maybe". Striker glanced away looking annoyed as Razor continued "Do you know what this is" he showed the helmet. Striker looked amazed "Oh, the helmet of Iblis. That's a formidable weapon!". Razor handed it to one of the guards "Do me a favour. Lock this away in a vault so it doesn't turn into a giant monster and destroy the whole planet". Striker stands up "Um, so it's back to Mobius for you, is it?" "Nope. I've been having this reoccurring dream lately. Every night, I see Lost Hex fall into ruins" "That's just a silly dream, signs of an overactive imagination". Razor shrugged and started casually throwing his sword into the air "Possibly. But then I decide to go out there and investigate. And what do I find, but the Nine Zones completely in chaos. Enemies of Lost Hex assembling, plotting our demise".
Razor steps closer to Striker now with a serious face "All while you, Striker, the protector of those Zones is sitting here watching plays and eating grapes". Striker nervously steps back "Yes, it is best to respect our neighbours' freedom" "Yes, of course, the freedom to be massacred" he threw his sword past Striker's head. Striker started looking at the ground "Yes, besides I've been rather busy myself" "Watching theatre" "Board meetings and security council meetings". Razor stepped closer to him "You're really gonna make me do it?" "Do what?". Razor throws the sword far away making the crowd gasp. He then stands behind Striker "You know that nothing will stop the Black Sword as it returns to my hand. Not even your face". The guards raise their weapons on Razor. Striker tries to move but Razor holds him in place "You've gone quite mad. You'll be executed for this". The sword got closer "Then I'll see you on the other side, brother". The sword was seconds away "Alright, I yield!". Striker morphs into Scourge and Razor pushes him aside. Razor catches the sword and the crowd stares at Scourge in shock. The cast members all look annoyed. Jack suddenly runs through the crowd "Behold!". He takes a breath exhausted "Razor". Scourge snaps his finger "No! You had one job. Just the one". Razor glares at him "Where's Striker" "You just couldn't stay away, could you? Everything was fine without you. Lost Hex was prospering. You've ruined everything. Ask them?". Razor walked towards him making Scourge back away "Where's father? Did you kill him?" "You had what you wanted. You had the independence you asked for". He falls back into the chair and Razor presses the tip of his sword to Scourge's chest who groans "Whoa! Okay. Okay. I know exactly where he is"
