"CALYPSO?!" Said Robotnik. He was in pure shock.
"What? You know who this is from reading all those books, don't you?!" Remarked Shadow.
"Yes."
"So...TELL US!" Snarled Sonic.
Robotnik was too surprised to speak. Calypso just stood. She raised her arms and Elexis hovered to her grip. Sonic and the rest then knew who she was. She made the sword and bound Elexis to it.
"Why did you trap us here?!" protested Knuckles.
She held her head high. "Because there must be some to witness this glorious moment on the horizon. This great moment in vampire history. I need you to spread the word of the vampiric uprising and the mortal downfall. "
"What? What are you going to do?! SPEAK YOU OLD %$^$$!" Shadow dove for her, too confident. Calypso slashed him with her clawed hands.
Calypso let go of the sword, letting her float in mid air. The sword started to change shape. She molded around like clay. Faster she spun, causing a red blur to cover up the forming lump. The red blur popped, and Elexis, in her vampiric form, dropped to the floor. She was not awake.
"ELEXIS!" Shouted Robotnik. He started after her. Rouge held him back.
"DON'T, YOU IDIOT!" She spoke harshly. She let go and he stood still.
"It has begun. Be aware that this is no act of evil. It is for the better of this rotten world." With those final words, Calypso disappeared. Elexis still remained on the floor.
"Well..now what?" asked Tails.
"I don't know." Rouge said.quietly.
The sense of despair set in heavier than ever. In the air, these words sounded, " The time draws near..." It echoed threw out the entire Temple. The gate that had impeded their path was gone.
"HEY! I think we can go!" Sonic said, running for the exit, but he returned soon.
"What? What's.." Said Tails.
"The door shut." Sonic said miserably. "It just shut."
"There has to be a way out of here. We haven't explored the whole Temple yet."
The haunting words echoed again. It was Elexis' voice. But her body didn't move an inch.
"What about Elexis?" Robotnik questioned.
"Just keep 'er in the mecha." Sonic said, who was more than expecting that question to arise.
Robotnik put her in the mecha, and set it so it would follow him.
"Lets go." He said. But before they took their first step out the door, Elexis awoke. She stood up but said nothing. She revealed that she, too, had acquired large, black, feathered wings. Her eyes were no longer covered. Her eyes glowed like Calypso's, maybe brighter. She disappeared. Blood poured to the floor.
"LET'S GO." He said again, but this time he sounded more panicked. The words echoed again. After they all took their steps outside the room, it instantly shut. There WAS a good thing, though, in all this. The hallway was not as dark as it was when they entered. It was not as if a light was on, but it did show them their path.
They made their way cautiously down the seemingly endless hall. A faint scream in the distance. No one could decipher whose it was. Calypso or Elexis. Their voices where familiar in some instances. The kept going until they reached a door. Blood on the door. Shadow opened it. A sigh of sepulchral air escaped the inner chamber. The room was well lit and decent in size, about half the size of the main room. They explored.
The room started to vibrate and that sense of despair became overwhelming for everyone. Shadow and Tails seemed to have trouble standing straight under the weight of it. The scream was heard again. Then the words.
"Forget this room. If we're going to get out alive, we'd better keep going." Rouge said.
The door in front of them was, again, covered in blood. Sonic shoved it open. The scream and the words were getting louder.
"You think we should go this way?" Robotnik asked.
"Of course, this is the only way available for progress." Knuckles replied.
Opening the next door revealed Elexis and Calypso. Elexis was sitting on her knees on the floor with the sword going straight threw her. Calypso stood there.
"Is this the (ugh) destiny you wanted for me?!" Elexis groaned.
"Destiny is inevitable. I do not plan destiny. Give in." Calypso said, walking closer to her.
Elexis pulled the sword away from herself. She screamed in agony. "No. My soul will not consume it's own soul." And she threw the sword away. She took in some heavy breaths and...they disappeared. They were nothing but entities of the past. The words were repeated. They echoed relentlessly. Silence came over. There was but one door in front of them, so they had no choice but to go threw.
And there they were. Both Elexis and Calypso. Calypso was dead, lying on the floor. Blood streamed everywhere. The room looked like a chapel, without the seats. A huge stained glass window stood behind, depicting a scene as if a new beginning.
"She told me to." Was all Elexis said. With that, she raised her dark wings, raised her blue arms in the air, and a blue wisp rose from Calypso. Her soul. Elexis put her arms down. She appeared to have consumed the soul. And with that, the whole Temple trembled violently. Stones fell from the ceiling. Elexis fell to her knees, hands over her face in pain. More blood. The breaking of glass was heard behind them, then in front of them. The large window with a new era depicted shattered. Behind it was..nothing. Nothing at all. It was black. Shards flew everywhere, one piercing Knuckles in the left arm. It went right threw. He screamed in agony. Robotnik tried to flee, but the entrance in which they arrived was now blocked by a large demon that cannot be described. It let out a loud roar faded, as is it was being pulled back from existence.
Horror.
There was no escaping.
The place went pitch black and still. Lightening flashed and illuminated Elexis for a brief moment, still on the ground. Seconds later it flashed again, Elexis was now standing. Then was hovered in the air, her black wings in full bloom. The room remained dark for a few brief moments. Then, the black void that previously occupied the area behind the stain glass turned into a blinding light. Elexis followed into it.
"That may be our only chance." Said Rouge as she began walking toward the light.
"She's right." Robotnik followed her, leaving the mecha behind.
The rest soon joined them. Knuckles at first had trouble moving, but he got over it.
Walking threw the light did nothing. It merely took them back to the main room where they started. But this time, they noticed the bloody words were gone. Elexis was there, standing by the sword, her own ravenous soul. She lifted it in the air, and the sword looked as though it was inseparable from its master. She stood still in front of them and said nothing.
Sonic began to approach her, slowly. She raised the sword and pointed it directly at the center of his face.
