Author Note:
Real quick. The final chapter in my little Sonic trilogy.. And I have, but one,
minor thing to say.. Why, oh why is it, that Armageddon has so few reviews? If
you people didn't read it, you won't know what the heck is going on in this one..
Or who anyone is.. Look it up, Mobius Chornicles; Armageddon. And while your
at it, if you never read the series that started it all, find Mobius Chronicles;
Christopher Aosis. Skar's been let go of his Author Note duties for now, what with
the wedding duties and all. Oops - Did I just let the cat out of the bag? Oh well,
you'd find out eventually.. On with the fic! AND FOR THE LOVE OF CHEESE, I BEG
OF YOU TO REVIEW IF YOU LIKED IT!!

Without one, the other could not be.

However, there are those who try to destroy peace..
Not realising that doing so will bring about their own destruction..



[Mobius Chronicles]
[The Final Chapter]
[Episode 01: The Chaos Prophecy...]



After Dimitri was taken into the Council's custody, things began slowing down in
Knothole Villiage back on Mobius. However, David's paid duties as a bodyguard haven't
been dismissed just yet; He might have himself a lifelong job at this rate. The Black
Isle Pirates have been dismissed of their past crimes for their recent actions,
however it's very unlikely they've changed their ways. Dulcy and Rotor are expecting
a baby dragon in about a year - How they got together hasn't been figured out
yet. And Sally's birthday is in precisely one month now, and she is expected to be
married the day she turns 18, not to mention another continent, ruled by the Thorn
family, is beginning to cause an uneasy tension with the House of Acorn..
And now, our story begins, as Sally is being escorted to her father's Castle..
And if you're wondering how things are going on Earth, well, everyone has had just
enough time to rent their own apartments somewhere in Station Square, so they're
all pretty much walking distance away from eachother. SO on with the fic.
(Note to the Reader: The episodes will be split into two parts on this fic, one
of which goes along with Mobius' troubles, and another with what is
going on back on Earth)




Deep in the forests that surrounded Knothole for miles around, a strange sight
could be seen on the hand-made trail. A white horse with pale blue tail and maine
could be seen with a young lady on top, while slithering near it was a giant
white-scaled serpent being ridden by an armoured wolf. In case you don't recognize
the pair, it was the mercinary, Viper, escorting princess Sally to her father's
castle. Sally sighed once more. David looked over towards her, leaving his helmet
on. "Is something bothering you, Princess?" he said, his helmet distorting his voice
so that it hissed on the 's'. Sally shook her head slowly. "No, nothing.."
David pressed the buttons on the sides of his helmet, a hissing of steam sounding
as he removed it, revealing his slightly scarred face - Still a cool looking guy despite
the couple of scars, in fact they add to the typical mercinary look. "Does this have
anything to do with your corination a month from now?"
"Must you remind me?" Sally said dryly.
"I thought you were ready to become queen." David said as his snake struck a nearby
dead rabbit and devoured it. Sally cringed slightly at the disgusting sight.
"I am fully ready to accept my responsibilities as crown princess.." Sally said, looking
back towards the road in case David's 'pet' found another half-rotten snack.
"Would it involve that strange, french-speaking guy who's the only suitor, the
one you've been saying you wouldn't marry if he was the last man on earth?"
"If I'm not mistaken, you aren't being paid as a counseler, you are being paid
as a bodyguard."
"I was merely trying to make you feel better, your highness."
"Well, stop it. It's annoying.."
"Yes, your highness." David replied, putting his helmet back on. The rest of the
trip was spent in an awkward silence after that.




=Meanwhile, on Earth..=



Sonic walked out of his apartment, locking the door behind him and making a mental
check as he began walking down the street towards the downtown area. "Let's see..
socks.. comb.. new soles.. a few snacks.." Sonic muttered to himself, trying to remember
everything he needed.
"Talking to yourself, Sonic? Tsk, tsk, a bad habit." a cool voice said behind the
blue hedgehog. Sonic turned around to see a black hedgehog catching up to him.
"Shadow, long time no see." Sonic said, before holding back a bit of laughter as
he saw the grocery list in Shadow's ringed hand. "The Ultimate Life, having to
go to the grocery store! Hah! Now that's classic!" Sonic said mockingly.
"Hrmph. For your information, Victoria has a horrid headache today, and she
needed someone to run the errands today."
"And.. you believed her?"
"Well.. yeah, why?" Shadow asked.
"You're married to a thief, Shadow. Think about it."
"Oh. Good point.. Wait a sec, you're not married, why are you heading towards
the grocery store?"
"Because, like you said, I'm not married! I have to take care of myself!"


The two looked at eachother as a competitive smirk crossed their faces..
"Loser buys winner's groceries." Shadow said.
"You're on!"

And the two dashed off at the speed of light towards the store, not aware of
a pair of red eyes watching from the alley nearby..



=Back to Mobius=


High above the planet, inside a beautiful white marble palace surrounded by the
shining light of the stars, a dark figure sat inside a prison-like chamber deep inside,
a large heatlamp shining down on him, seven white-robed figures standing around him.
"I ain't tellin' you anything.." Dimitri said. "Ain't worth it."
"If you don't tell us, we will be forced to result to drastic measures."
"Drastic measures my--" Dimitri almost said before his mouth was magically closed shut,
making him temperarily mute.
"Allow me." said one of the cloaked figures, moving in front of Dimitri. He stared
down at the dimension conqueror, his blue eyes seemingly reading every thought in the
man's head. "If you do not cooperate with us, Dimitri, this entire universe could be
destroyed."
"No sweat off my back." shrugged Dimitri as the muting spell wore off. He smirked
as he sung in a dry mock-cowboy voice, "It's your misfortune and none of my own.."
"I hate to call anyone stupid, but you are trying our patience with your lack
of awareness, Dimitri. If this universe is wiped out, you'll be, too."
"Oh, now there's where you're wrong, council boy." chuckled Dimitri, before he
threw his head back in sadistic laughter.
"Explain yourself."
"Simple. You'll be dead..." Dimitri said slowly, as if explaining it to an idiot,
"... and I'll be rich!"
The robed figure slammed his palms down on the table in front of Dimitri, but
another robed figure took his place. "Dimitri," escaped a voice that sounded as if
a man, a woman, and a monster were speaking simultaneously, "allow me to put it
this way. If you do not help us, then you will be the first to die."
"Pch, yeah, right!" laughed Dimitri, smirking. "You old morons wouldn't hurt a fly."
"You must have dealt with the lesser ranks, Dimitri. Otherwise, you would know
better.." the head of the council said in a menacing voice. Dimitri blinked, the smirk
on his face fading as the white-robed figure closed his eyes.. DImitri yelled in pain
as his insides felt like they were being jabbed with jagged spikes of ice, his entire
body shivering from both the pain and from feeling like he was submerged in sub-arctic
water. Dimitri gasped for air, clutching his rapidily beating heart as the pain
ceased. "Now, let's try this again, Dimitri.. Where is your client?"

Dimitri slowly lifted his head, the shadows of the room accenting his face to
make it even more frightening as a half-conscious smirk crossed his face. "I think
you know where he is.. and I think you know who he is.. and I think you know that
you don't stand a prayer of a chance against him.."
"Tell us where he is, Dimitri." said the council leader sternly. Dimitri cackled
dryly.
"Why should I?" said Dimitri darkly, his eyes still hidden by shadow, as they
have been throughout the entire interrogation. "Even if I did, how would you know
I was telling you the truth?"
"If you value your life, Dimitri, you will not lead us wrong."
"And if I did, who's to say I wouldn't be long gone?"
"Do you enjoy acting a fool, Dimitri? The Council stripped you of your powers
before we even came in here. Now tell us who hired you, and tell us now!" the white
cloaked figure demanded, an aura of power surrounding him.
Dimitri chuckled, keeping his head down. ".. you poor, dilluded old fool.." said
the sorceror. He slowly looked up, his eyes becoming visable for the first time;
Dimitri stared at the Council, his eyes soulless, his face with a dry, feigned emotion
of pain and sarcasm. ".. Dimitri is long gone! Out of this dimension with newfound powers
of darkness granted by Gharan Kinesis!" cackled the decoy as the fake dimitri's body
turned darker and shrunk into a nearly skeletal man. The Council looked at eachother
and nodded, before six out of the seven walked out of the room. The skeletal man cackled
madly, his body breaking out into hives - Dimitri had placed a curse on the man, and
the afteraffect of it was taking hold. The remaining Council member shook his head slowly
as he walked out of the room. "Dimitri is a sick man.." muttered the robed figure as the
door slammed shut and the heatlamp disappeared.




Meanwhile, miles away from the Council..



In the deepest depths of the continent of Lyra, in a vast, black-sanded, cursed
desert surrounded by mist, the source of all this chaos lie in a spell-inflicted coma,
deep inside of a large, omnous underground temple. Black-robed figures stood in
the shrine, surrounding a magnificent silver and gold containment field that the
greatly feared Gharan Kinesis was trapped in, his body frozen in time with an angry
expression on his face, his last words probably threats of revenge. His followers
around him continued their chanting, their bodies slowly dying from lack of nourishment
and sleep. Words from an ancient language were enscribed along the hallways, and
behind Gharan was carved the unfulfilled Chaos Prophecy..


TO BE CONTINUED...



Note from the Author:
"Ok, if some of you are confused, read Mobius Chronicles; Christopher Aosis for a
while - you'll find the first appearance of the CHaos Prophecy. As for Dimitri,
well.. he's probably at a warm, sunny beach by now. Yep, that heartless villian
got away with it. But hey, that's real life, you can't catch'em all. Oh, and
for those of you who placed bets on the race, Shadow got to the supermarket first.
Sorry Sonic fans, but look at it this way, Sonic got to kick butt on the first
series :) Anyway, please review, and be easy on me - I'm not that good at romance,
and this story will be having more of it than any of the others I've written!"
