Once more, all the legal stuff is on the first chapter. For those who think the story boring so far, things should start to unravel in this chapter (I hope!). To avoid confusion, if there is any, the Metal Sonic in my fanfics also goes by the nickname, Mecha. You should be able to figure out what R.K. stands for (Robo-Knux). Also, I can't do accents worth even being called accents, so Bunnie and Antoine are going to be speaking normal English. Anyways, enjoy the story!

Chapter 3
Legend of The Sword
For the first time in a long while, Rahn was very tired. He had spent the last seven hours hanging around with Sonic, while he showed him around. He never thought someones ego could swell up so quickly and that big. He was just thankful he was away from him for a while. Sally had rescued him from Sonic and was now taking him to his new residence. They finally arrived at a small hut on the other side of the village.
"Well, here you are. Home sweet home." said Sally. Rahn entered the hut and flipped on a light switch. The place had a medium size bed, a desk, comuputer, bookshelf, a dresser, and a rug. Off on to his left was a door that led to the restroom. "It's not very big, so if you need something bigger I can...." "No, no, this is fine." said Rahn. He went over to the bed and lied his bag down on it, causing the small emerald he was carrying to fall out onto the floor. "What's that?" asked Sally, pointing to the emerald. Rahn bent over and picked it up. "It's an emerald of some sort. I found it about a week ago while I was looking for Knothole." Rahn tossed it over to Sally.
She tossed it around in her hand and looked it over. It was a beautiful, clear gold color and was cut the same way the Chaos Emeralds were. "Wow, this very beautiful. It looks a lot like one of the chaos emeralds." "That's what I thought at first, but it don't feel like a chaos emerald. It feels like.... It's more powerful of something." Sally handed him back the emerald and it started to glow. Sally was a little startled, but Rahn didn't flinch at all at the sudden change in the emerald. "Why is it doing that?" asked Sally, a little worried it might explode or something. "I don't know, it always does that when I hold it." Rahn walked over to the desk and put the emerald inside the desk drawer.
"Maybe Knuckles can explain it, he's the expert on these sort of things." said Sally, releaved that the emerald didn't do anything. "Whos's Knuckles?" asked Rahn, a little intrigued. Maybe he could find someone to take the stupid emerald out of his hands, then those nightmares would go away. "Well, we don't see much of him, he's only here on occasion, but he's mostly on the Floating Island, guarding the Master Emerald." Rahn thought about it for a moment. He always thought the Floating Island was just a myth. To know that it existed was something. Perhaps this 'Knuckles' could explain about his emerald. "When would be a good time to talk to him?" "Well, he's visiting tomorrow to get a few supplies, then he'll be gone for about a month." said Sally. "Well then, I guess I should get some sleep and be ready to meet him." Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then, goodnight." "Goodnight Sally." Sally exited and walked away. 'Funny,' thought Rahn, 'she hasn't changed a bit.' Laying down on the bed, he qucikly drifted to sleep.
"Oh man, not the same dream again?!" Rahn was seeing everything as he had before. People on the ground unconsious, the strange robot standing over Sonic, sword at his throat, the burning village, and Sally off in the distance, struggleing to get to Sonic. The robot lifted the strange sword to strike the final blow to Sonic when, all of the sudden, the picture froze. Rahn stood perplexed at the scene. 'This hasn't happened before' he thought. He started walking towards the robot to get a look at the face, yet he already knew who it was. It was wearing his poncho, his hat, and his sheath, the shoes were somewhat different though. He finally moved in front of it and saw the face for the first time. It was himself. The eyes were grim and hateful, while the crooked smile showed the pleasure of the deed he was about to perform. The left eye was shattered beyond recognition, someone punched him pretty hard. He could hardly believe it was him.
He studied the scene more carefully. He was able to move around a lot more now than before. He started looking over his robot counterpart. He had some strange metal alloy that made up his hull. He noticed a small gash in the armor and looked at it more closely. "Definitely a cut. Something did a good number on me, if that is me. Hey, what's this?" He looked more closely at the gash in the hull. "Is that? No, it can't be. Is that thing healing?" The gash had looked like it was cut, but evidence around showed that it was repairing itself. "Weird" was all Rahn could say.
He then decided to take a good look at that sword the robot was holding. He moved towards the sword and looked at it, as if it were a piece of magnificent artwork. It looked a lot like his sword. It had the same handle, and the same shaped blade. But the hilt had seven different colored jewles on each side of it, and the blade was a clear crystal blue, with a blue flame coming of the sharp edges. He was about to reach out and touch the sword, but then the dream ended with a brilliant flash of white light.
Rahn woke up from his dream, except he wasn't in a cold sweat like the previous ones. He looked out the window and saw the position of the sun. "Oh crap! It's nearly ten o'clock!" Rahn jumped out of his bed and headed for a shower. "First thing's first, get a shower, then see about finding Knuckles."
"I think it's time you admitted it Mecha. Your lost and you know it." said Robo-Knux. "I'm not lost, you idiot! There is a jamming device set up near my tracer, making the signal hard to follow! I've already said that before!" Mecha and R.K. had been walking through the forest the entire night, following Mechas 'supposed' tracer located inside one of his severed arms. The two had been argueing the entire night, Robo Knux saying that Mecha had led them on a wild goose chase, while Mecha denied it. They also had to travel through a lot of underbrush, tall grass, and bushes to avoid any Freedom Fighter night patrols, if there where any. Add the difficult terrain with someone you don't like, and see if you don't kill eachother.
The two continued argueing about being and not being lost when all of the sudden, the ground fell from under Mechas feet. He was teetering on the edge with the one foot, but regained his balance. He looked down at the hole he almost fell into. It was obviously dug and concealed to stop anyone from approaching the area through the underbrush. Mecha then felt a sudden shove from his back, and fell in, cursing at Robo Knux the whole twenty feet. He landed with a loud 'ka-thud'. Robo-Knux just laughed his metallic butt off. Mecha got up, and looked up to Robo-Knux. "Real mature, you red rust bucket!" yelled Mecha. "I'm a mechabot, I don't have to be mature, you blue paint can!" Mecha ignited his engine, and flew out of the hole. He hovered there for a second, then landed. "Well R.K.,I believe that this hole just proves that we are close to our destination. I told you we weren't lost." said Mecha. "Pft! Whatever. Since you think you know were your going then which way, boy scout?"
Mecha flinched, if robots can flinch that is, at that name. He pointed to his left, and the two started walking towards that direction, towards Knothole.
Knuckles had arrived early that mornig to get his supplies. It wouldn't take to long, especially since there was a teleporter that led to the Floating Island concealed somewhere in the forest. Knuckles waswalking through the village, considering the fact it was 10:15 in the moring, there weren't many people up. He walked toward the war room to tell Sally he had some for the needed supplies. He walked right in, not knowing that there was a meeting inside. Sonic, Sally, Tails, Rotor, Bunnie, Amy, Antoine, and Shadow were inside. "Hello Knuckles, I wasn't expecting you to come this early." said Sally.
"Sorry if I'm interrupting, I just thought the earlier I came for those supplies, the quicker I could get them back to the island." said Knuckles. "Not a problem Rad Red, we were just talking about a new recruit we got yesterday, trying to figure out what we could use him for." said Sonic. "Really?" said Knuckles. He pulled up a chair and sat down at the table. "What can he do?" "Well...., from what Sonic told me about him, he seems very capable at fighting in hand to hand combat, but he also seems to have a pychic stealth capability from robots, so he'd be good for recon. We just can't really decide." said Sally.
"I personally don't trust him all that much." said Antoine. "I mean, the guy is a bounty hunter, and is skilled in many weapon arts, which to me would suggest assassin, maybe hired by Robotnik!" "Oh, come off it Ant. If he was an assassin, he would of killed us while we were sleeping. Plus he saved Sonic from Mecha, and he personnally knows Sally, and you. How could you not trust him?" said Rotor.
"Trust who?" came a voice from the door. Everyone turned and saw Rahn standing at the door. "Oh nobody." said Sally. Rahn already knew who they were talking about. He had heard them through the door, and some of the negative things that Antoine said. But that didn't bother him, Antoine always made aquisations like that since he had met him all those years ago. "I can assure you guys, I'm not going to kill anyone." 'Hopefuly' he added mentally. He then noticed the red echidna get up and introduce himself. "I'm Knuckles, nice to meet you." he said, holding out his giant gloved hand. Rahn extended his and the two shook. "Ah yes, the guardian of Angel Island. I'm Rahn, nice to meet you to."
"Um.... Rahn? Aren't you going to show him that emerald you found?" said Sally. "What emerald?" asked everyone. "Oh yes. Right" said Rahn, slinging a small bag from over his shoulder and handing it to Knuckles. Knuckles sat back down and took the object out of the bag. He pulled the small, clear gold emerald out of the bag and looked at it. "I don't see anything special about it." Rahn, who had also sat down , reached across the table and picked the emerald up. That's when it started to glow. Everyone in the room, except for Rahn and Sally, were startled by this sudden reaction. "Is it a chaos emerald or something?" asked Tails. Knuckles just stared at the jewel, wide eyed. The emeralds power just shot up. He couldn't detect it earlier, but now it was shooting out more power than the Master Emerald. Knuckles rolled that thought in his head for a second, then it finally occurred to him what this emerald was.
The two mechabots had finally found Knothole. They saved the longitude and lattitude of the village so they could send an attack force over when they got back. Robo-Knux noticed quite a few freedom fighters moving about. Mecha on the other hand noticed the war room, with Sonic and the rest of the main freedom fighters inside, including his mysterious attacker. "Over there" he whispered to Robo-Knux. The crimson robot looked towards the war room, noticing the stranger inside. He didn't seem all that much to him. "Don't tell me that's the Mobian who sliced your limbs off." said R.K.. "I'm going to kill him." said Mecha, about to leap out of the brush and attack, but Robo-Knux grabbed his arm and stopped him.
"Are you nuts? We are out numbered approximately 85 to 2. It would be best to use stealth. We can't kill or capture anyone, but we can find out what they are plotting inside." Mecha rolled this thought for a moment. Although he didn't like the fact he couldn't kill his nemeis or his attacker, and the fact that R.K. was right, he aggreed. The two moved through the brush near one of the open windows in the war room, and tuned their hearing sensors to listen in.
Rahn had put the emerald down before everyone went blind from its light. Knuckles still looked at it in awe. It couldn't be the emerald that was fortold, but then again, the eveidence was pretty conclusive. Sonic started snapping his fingers infront of Knuckles. "Hey Knux, wake up!" Knuckles came back to his senses. He looked around to find everyone was wating for him to say something. "Um...., you guys want to hear the long story or the short story?" asked Knux. "We've got a lot of time ahead of us Knuckles, so lets shoot for the long one." said Sally. "Okay......, here go's"
Everyone relaxed in their seat and listened to Knuckles words. "You see, there were orginally eight Chaos Emeralds when they were first created. While the seven we know of come from the Master Emerald, the eighth one came from another emerald, supposedly, it came dircetly from where the master came from. It was to be kept with the Chaos Emeralds, but, over time, it was lost. It had to be kept with the other seven emeralds because of a prophecy predicted almost two millinia ago. You guys remember that chant I said on the ARK, and during that Chaos incident? The contoller is the one that unifies the chaos?" Everyone nodded, except Rahn and the others that weren't around during those incidents, who had no idea what he was talking about. Rahn did recall ARK though. He always thought that large space stations should be best avoided being built. That incident just proved it more.
"Well, it wasn't talking about the Master Emerald. The master is sort of the backup until the real controller appears. This controller was to be selected by the eighth emerald, the Emerald of Power. This emerald has five times as much power as the master, and was to choose the contoller by casting a light whenever he or she touched it. Then they were supposed to gather the eight emeralds together, and use them for their original purpose, to forge the Sword of Chaos. This sword can only be forged and weilded by the controller. It was prophisized later that he would be joined by two allies, one from the past and one of alien orgin. The three would then join together with their allies to destroy the Ultimate Evil and the Ultimate Power."
Knuckles took a deep breath and finished talking, leaving everyone perplexed by the story. Even Shadow had been impressed by this story, which is really hard to do. Rahn got up and started paceing about the room, removing his hat and rubbing his hand through his quils. "You okay Rahn?" asked Shadow. Shadow and Rahn had gotten along great the previous evening and became friends rather quickly, so he was a little worried. "I'm fine, Shadow. This is just sort of weird to me, that's all." "Hey, don't worry about it Rahn. This is nothing really compared to all the stuff the rest of us have done" said Knuckles. "Ya, I mean, the whole thing about that other stuff could be a bust" said Rotor. "Ya, what are the odds of there being something more evil than Robotnik?" said Bunnie
Rahn put his hat back on his head and thought. This was going to be a drastic change for him. "Alright then...." he said "where are the Chaos Emeralds?" Everyone put on a sort of solmn look. "Well...." started Tails "We kind of got rid of them after ARK, to make sure they weren't used again. We gave them to Knuckles, who then scattered them all over the globe." "..........Not exactly.........." said Knuckles. "I kept them on my island in a hidden vault. They are all safe, but it won't open for another two days. It has been set on a time lock."
"Well, that saves us a trip across the globe." said Sally. Knuckles started telling when he could bring the emeralds to the village when he was interrupeted by an explosion from the other end of the room. The entire village had heard it and went towards were the sound originated. When the dust had cleared, everyone turned towards where the southrn wall of the building used to be. Everyones eyes widened at the scene. Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Shadowgot into a fighting stance; Rahn drew his sword; Bunnie activated her arm blaster; and everyone else drew a laser from their belt or boot. They all concentrated their stare at the robot duo in-front of them Metal Sonic and Robo-Knux.
Oh boy! Fight scene coming up! Yay! ^__^ Sorry I havn't updated in a bit. You try building a deck, competing in a choir competion in Williamsburg, and a whole month with crappy internet that won't connect 98.9% of the time. Anyways, next chapter should be coming up soon. Please send in your reveiws and comments, and I'll keep writing.
