The only character that is owned by me is Kit Kat. If you want to use my character in your story you have to ask me permission. So on to the next compress chapters of ::A world beyond me::. One last thing I hope you catch up on your homework C-4. Make longer chapter senagirl and you'll do fine. Snoopy keep up the good work on your stories. I hope you're not too busy to update your POV Rahn. Ztarlight, I hope you got some good ideas on your future POV story.

Chapter 6: Compress, Cut, and… Copy?

The whole station seems to be shaking. Rahn and I slowly got out of our transport so we wouldn't fall down. All this rumbling in here is causing me to feel hungry. In reality I'm a skinny person, who has a high metabolism. It's no surprise to me that these traits are brought over to my character. Bell mumbled something but I was more worried about falling down. It's bad enough that I haven't landed once on my feet.

CLANG CLANG CLANG

Those noises...they came from above, from the other side of the vent. The bars began to bend lower towards us and the screws weren't budging so the area of ceiling they were drilled onto was stretched out further down.

"What the?" C-4 yelled as Sonic and Knuckles fell upon his back. CRACK! Ouch, that had to hurt.

"OUCH! G-GET OFF!" C-4 said, suffocating because of their weight.

After they got off C-4 took enormous breaths that were too hard to even swallow. But he managed.

His hands snaked behind his back and stroked his frail spine.

"Hey, what's the...big-Kn-kn-kn-KNUCKLES! YOU! HOW? IN THIS ROOM? WITH ME?" Babbled C-4. Whoa, so that's why he's called C-4.

The Sonic crew stared at us and ask who we were.

"Hey, I'm Bell! THE COOLIOSO NIGHTMAREN VIXEN!"

"Under these conditions, refer to me simply as Nokame."

"The name's Kit_Kat! And no, not the chocolate bar!" I replied, although I could use one right now. Lets see in my pockets... WHAT NO KIT KAT!! OH GIVE ME A BREAK!! :(

"...I'm Rahn..."

"Wow, my name is Serena! Pleased to meet you!"

"You already 'met' me. I'm C-4!"

"W-Who...are...YOU?" Knuckles stuttered.

"We're the 'Sensational Six'." Rahn told them, of course more sarcasm. It's a good thing he was being sarcastic or I would have to slap him silly. It's more of the Lost Fighters, or the Hex for six and the curse that is upon us when it comes to having a bad day or getting into trouble.

"Yeah, rigggght. Now tell us, what are you doing here?" Sonic asked.

Before anything was explained Rouge dropped in. Uh oh. I don't think Knuckles wanted to see her right now. Ah what yah gonna do about it.

"YOU!" Knuckles yelled in a threatening pose, and tone.

"The ARK is falling at a high velocity and- Who are those clowns?" Rouge asked.

"I HEARD THAT ROUGE!" Bell yelled at Rouge.

Okay, someone has been in space a little ttttttttoooooooo looooong.

"How'd you know my name? And how did you know what I was thinking?" Rouge said.

"I'm, uh, telepathic?" Bell told her.

A whole bunch of stuff happened, but I wasn't really paying attention. Eggman was babbling about his family tree, which of course is probably a twig. Tails was thinking about something bad I think because Tails turned a little white and Bell was giving a grin that made my fur stand on end as well. Bell told them what is going on and we were all going to go beat the Ultimate Lifeform when Sonic raised his hand.

"You guys stay here! It's too dangerous!" Sonic said.

WHAT!! Ah man, doesn't he know what we went through? Doesn't he know I got 8 more lives to spare? Wait, make that 6 from the other things that has happened to me. Ah well, bring out the frying pan cause it's snack time. Boo-yah!!

~Sometime later~

I was cooking over a fire. Bell looked concerned about something. It must be some new powers she has.

AHHHH!!

What on earth? Dropping my pan, we all ran to the place where the others went. When we got there, we were all in shock in what we saw. Okay, there are two vixens right in front of me. One, is our friend Bell. Two, another Bell but with different attributes. Her name? Shade. Well, she looks like Bell, much like Shadow resembles Sonic. She's not a kitsune either. She's vixen with no tails just like her. Her ears were a little sharp, like a pair of devil horns yet not quite. Her thick fur coat was black. She had more highlights in her fur than Bell does, which were a light shades of orange and at the peak of her ears there was red. Bell apparently made a seconded character. Oh man, Shade is her name and she has control of the Biohazard. What is she doing? The whole place began to dissolve around us. A new world began to form. By the looks of it, it's from Paper Mario.

"What did you do?" Bell asked. A jade green dialogue materialized in a second flat, at first blank, but it typed:

[Bell: What did you do?]

"Is there an echo in here?"

[Bell: Is there an echo in here?]

"Hm...I wonder what's happening. Look at us. We're all 2 feet tall, and flat. Really flat. And there this little box that's copying whatever we say." I told them. His observation was right. It revealed all he said.

"Boo!" I ranted as it mimicked his holler.

[Kit_Kat: Boo!]

"OOGA BOOGA!"

[Kit_Kat: OOGA BOOGA!]

"Kit_Kat is the supreme ruler!" I said in a joking matter.

[Kit_Kat: Kit_Kat is the supreme ruler!]

"Thank you!(" I said with gratitude towards himself by smiling.

[Kit_Kat: Thank you!(]

"Cool, it typed the smile I made!"

[Kit_Kat: Cool, it typed the smile I made!]

"STOP ITTTTTTTT ALREADY! STOP WITH YOUR SHENANIGANS!" Shade yelled at me. I looked up to see if it would type out what she said.

[Malfunction. Unable to type user Shade sentence. Sorry for any inconvenience. Please try again later.]

Ha ha what a loser. Lucky for me that they don't type out what we thought. Anyways back to aggravation for complete humiliation .

"( ( ( :o B) :p &'...Hey I like making this weird face ( &' )!"

[Kit_Kat: ( ( ( :o B) :p &'...Hey I like making this weird face ( &' )!]

"Hey, look at it sideways! It looks so cooooollllll!"

[Kit_Kat: Hey, look at it sideways! It looks so cooooollllll!]

"And I thought I was hyperly strange." Bell spoke to myself. To be or not to be strange, my friend Bell, that is the question. Umm.... TO BE STRANGE YAH!! :)

"ENOUGH ENOUGH ENOUGGGGGGGHHHH ALREADY! SHUT UP! If you make one more face..."

":P Nani nani boo boo!"

[Kit_Kat: :P Nani nani boo boo!]

"ERRRR! Biohazard! Use your 'Bio Blast' on that wretched feline this INSTANT!" She demanded. So he did.

[Bio Blast!]

"Bio...Blast?" Muttered C-4 in doubt about what kind of attack this was.

A sphere of blue darker than the night sky at its gloomiest focused at the animated Biohazard's jaws. His demonic voice howled with the combination of two monstrosities speaking in unison.

"Here it comes." He said, each word lagging after the one that came before it.

What ever it was it shot forth towards us.

"Oh dear what have I done?" I asked myself. Shade does have issues. Maybe it's that time in season for PMS.

All of us were hit. All except Bell that is. A miss was above Bell's head. Lucky girl. Anyways Bell tried an attack but we all couldn't figure how we attack. Bell said all of these says for an attack but failed. That it we're doomed. All of a sudden Omochao showed up again. Some more useful information was delivered to us. Bell did this kind of awesome move that defeated Biohazard in one shot. Not very strong I say, either that or Bell is really strong. Just when we thought everything is going well. Shade the evil twin of Bell transformed into Super Shade. This must be some kind of hex that is trying to kill us all. The evil kitsune had the exact same features like Bell only Shade now has seven tails, each holding onto a Chao's emerald. Another thing that is different is the clothing she was wearing. It looked like something I saw from one of Nights comics. But I couldn't put my finger on it.

"I don't get it. How is it you're alive and you're not thinking, well, like me?" Bell asked her.

"If it hadn't been for Reala, I'd probably be another sorry moron like the rest of you." She said. Reala? REALA? Oh yah the Nightmaren

"Bell. Care to explain?" Nokame asked.

All heads turned to her.

"Reala...is NiGHTS dark counterpart. Like Shadow was too Sonic and Shade is to me, right now." she replied.

"So it appears I AM your counterpart. But doesn't mean you're as powerful as I am. Not at all." She said.

"You cheater! You used the Chaos Emeralds to power yourself up!" I exclaimed.

"Cheater? Cheater?? You can't 'cheat' in a battle. There's no way. If someone gets the upper hand, then they are merely getting the upper hand. It's not 'cheating'. I just took what opportunities I had in front of me to my advantage. It isn't because my opponents are all now weaker that I am 'cheating'. I had a plan and I'm carrying it out. There's always one of you heroic fools who try to save their world like you. And you will fall just like them too!" She went on and on. Blah, blah, blah, blah.

"You sound a lot like a little kid for a person who uses so many large words like that." Serena said. This frustrated Shade further. Her glare fell on us.

"I know why. I created her in my mind so that someone built her, I'm not naming whom, and to look and stay the way she is and has an intellect to match her body. But it's her voice that still needs to grow. So she's really like 7 years old but looks like she 15-17ish." Bell explained.

"Shut up and FIGHT ME!" She said turning back into a 2D sprite. Didn't look so scary...But she was.

Her eyes were pools of blue flickering on as the drawn ground below us crackled off a little underneath her, only to hurl at us.

Shade attacked, knocking us all over the place. All hope seem to vanish right before our eyes, when... Bell? Is she alright?

"What happened?" she asked C-4. All that C-4 did so far was smiling right back at her.

"BELL! YOU'RE-YOU'RE...Um...Super?" He said.

She peered down to look at what we was. Her body glowed a golden colour.

WHISH WOOSH WHISH WOOSH

"What's that sound? It's coming from behind me...What's so heavy on my back?" she continued to asked. Turning around to see seven new golden tails dangling on her rear. Bell had a smirk upon her face and looked up at Shade, who is right now having a hissy fit.

"This...can't be." Shade said.

Oh you better believe it. I was grinning so hard it felt that my teeth were going to shatter.

"You're not so smug now that I meet your standards, huh?" Bell taunted her.

"Of course not! I can still defeat just the same!" She denied.

"Fine, let's have a one on one battle. No using any of my friends as hostages either. I wouldn't do that to you. That is, if you had any friends." I said.

Bell just burned her. Alright. Hey wait she isn't fighting this one all by herself is she?

"Fine. Will fight in the outer orbit of the ARK, where no one has enough strength to fly to but us." Shade said fleeing to boundaries of the ARK's radius.

"Wait, Bell, you're not ACTUALLY going to fight are you?" Nokame asked her while she turned to follow.

"Yeah, don't worry. I can make it. I mean, Sonic did in the game." She reassured us. But that was just a game. Who knows what will happen.

"What should we do now?" C-4 asked.

"Go find Sonic and the others. I know they're not dead. You should be able to break into the inside by that manhole over there." I pointed over to a lid on the metal floor.

"Okay, good luck!" They told me.

"Thanks, but I'll manage get Shade someway. She'll probably survive even if I do make a good attempt at killing her. Look at Eggman! He's been around for a LONG time." she said. We all laugh little at the joke. I hope she's right on this.

They both left the ARK to duke it out, and there is nothing any of us can do. All we can do is hope and pray that Bell will succeed. Slowly each of us began to turn around to go look for Sonic and the others. Maybe they can help out in this fight. That's all we can do now to help Bell. Good luck Bell.
