------------------------
Space Between Dimensions


"*yawn* Well, time to get some rest...." I said, putting the ship into stand-by mode for the night.
"Right....." Charmy said, pushing a button, which converted the ship for our sleeping quarters.
Charmy and I snuggled up in one bed and Sonic and Shadow each toke their own bed.
We were soon fast asleep.......and I began to dream..........

------------------------
9 Months ago.......

I awoke with a start and looked at the clock.
"Noon already....." I said, getting dressed and heading downstairs.
I ate lunch and headed towards my arcade room.
As usual, I started playing 5th mix on Doubles Maniac.
As I played, I looked at Charmy.....who was still wearing my Millenium Arrow.
It was somewhat comforting to know that a part of me would always be with her....but it still hurt. I placed my hand over the screen and closed my eyes.........
.....Three months had passed, not as fast as I would've liked....it just dragged on and on, and to make matters worse, something strange was happening to me...That presence from back in the cave had begun to show more of himself, he wasn't really wanting to take over, but he made his prescence known, he only called himself.......Dark.......I shook my head and finished playing.
"Figures." I said, the roulette selecting 'Can't Stop Fallin' In Love (Speed Mix)'.
I played with my usual passion, never giving in to pain.
After the song ended and the results screen came up, my eyes began to tear up.....I missed her too much and that song never did help.
I wiped my eyes dry and left....I couldn't let her see me like this.
I cleaned up and then went back to sleep.

That's pretty much how my days went for a long time. Sonic and Shadow would come over
once and a while to try and cheer me up...but it never did help much.
"Come on Ryan, snap out of it......" Sonic said.
"Yeah, dude...cheer up. They're must be tons of other girls you can find....." Shadow said.
"True.....but they wouldn't be the same as Charmy.......they want me because of what I am.....Charmy wanted me because of WHO I am....." I said.
"Well, try and get out of this funk, okay?" Sonic said leaving with Shadow.
"Don't worry...I'll try....." I said, getting out of my chair.
I really did have good friends....they were the only ones left after I beat Konamison.
I went to bed and tried to get some sleep.....

-----------------------
My House....3:42 A.M.

I was awakened by a noise.
"Oh, damn...." I whispered...this was all I needed, someone trying to rob me.
I got up, grabbing my lightsaber, and sneaked out of my room.
When I looked down over the upstairs railing, the front door had been blown off.
"What the....?" I thought, trying to sense who was there.
Then I noticed something by the stairwell......it seemed human, but....something was different.
"Well......" I said, jumping the rail,"Take this!"
I slashed at whoever this was and sliced off his arm....which came off and started to spark.
"What the hell?" I said, flipping on the lights.
The person seemed to be an anthro....but a robot as well.
"Who are you?" I demanded.
The robot grabbed his arm and addressed me...."Greetings....from the remanants of G.U.N........"
"But I thought......" I started to say.
"We are the last survivors of the G.U.N. Reps Project......we wish to avenge our creators and then carry out their plans......" he/it said.
"Well, I won't go down that easy..." I said taking a stance.
"Of course, " he said, reattaching his arm, "I would hope not."
Sadly, this guy was out of his league, I sliced him to peices...yet his head was still talking.
"Ha, it seems the reports on you are true.........." he/it said.
"Enough!" I said, stabbing my saber into his/it's head..........................

-----------------------
My House....3 days later

I was in the kitchen making lunch for the three of us.....Sonic and Shadow had come over and we were practicing for the next big tournament at the mall.
I hadn't told them about the other night....I was hoping it was just a coincidence.
Suddenly the TV show I was watching was interupted by a mysterious signal.....
"Sonic, Shad, quick!" I said, running to the living room and flipping on my big screen TV.

On the screen was a mysterious person...
"Greetings citizens of Earth...we are the last survivors of G.U.N.......you many have known them as a Earth govt. agency...but their plans were much more devious.....we were created near the end of their existence...now we will carry out their plans....and destroy those that do not submit.....and to those foolish enough to attack, you will be destroyed for your futile attempts at destroying us......and to Ryan...don't sleep...we'll be meeting soon enough..."
With that the screen disappeared and returned to normal Television.

"Okay, that was odd...and why did he finger you?" Shadow said, looking at me.
I told them of the incident the other night........
"This sounds bad, their probably targeting you because he defeated Konamison...." Sonic said to me.
I nodded.....and then noticed a odd noise.
"What the hell?" I said, running outside.
A huge dustcloud was heading down our street.
"I sense this will not be well..." I said, drawing my saber.
"Get ready guys!" I said to Sonic and Shadow.
As the cloud came closer, it became clear that we were outmatched.....
"We have to fight regardless...." I said, taking a stance.
The cloud soon dissappated showing twelve reploids charging at us.
"Charge!" I said, as the three of us charged the 12.
I slahsed and took out one, but another came from behind and knocked me unconscious.
Sonic dashed through two of them, but another stuck his foot out and Sonic tripped, crashing into a wall.
Shadow used Chaos Control and warped through them, destroying four.....but then he saw that they had us and he surrendered, and was immediately knocked out.

---------------------------
Neo-Gun.....Prisoner Complex

I woke up and my head was pounding.
"Ow, where are we?" I said, looking at Shadow.
"The prisoner complex of G.U.N.'s main base......this'll probably be the end." he said.
Sonic was throwing up in the corner.
"Ewww.....that's not pleasant." I said, standing up.
I looked around, not much....there was a TV in the wall though.
"Hmmm....." I said, looking at it.
Suddenly it sprung to life.
"Hahahahaha....it seems that the mighty Ryan is know nothing for than my captured prey....." Said the mysterious reploid.
"You....I'm guessing you're the leader...." I said.
"That'd be correct....my name is ?" ? said.
"? What kind of name is ? ?" Sonic said from his corner.
"I was never given a name...." He said.
"Um, then for the sake of ease, can we refer to you as No. 1?" Shadow said.
"*thinks* Okay, sounds alot better than ?....anyway, seems some morons are trying to save you..." No. 1 said.
The TV showed a picture of the outside....there was a battle going on.
"No...." I said in horror.
Outside was Knuckles and Tails fighting against the reploids, not holding there own.
"Bwahahahahahahaha! It appears your friends won't win.....too bad..." No.1 said.
Suddenly the screen cut off......

"Damn!" I shouted, it echoing down the halls.
Sonic and Shadow looked at me, I looked at them......we knew we didn't have much of a chance.
"Wait...." I said, looking for my saber......it wasn't on me.
"Crap! My saber's missing...." I said, sitting down.
"What does that matter?" Shadow asked.
"I could've sliced the bars and we could've made our escape." I said, depressed.
Suddenly, someone dressed in a hooded robe appeared outside our cell.
"Here..." The person said, tossing me my saber.
"Wha...?" I said, catching it.
"And make use of these too....." the person said, tossing Sonic the......7 Emeralds!
"How did you...?" Shadow asked.
"Your friend Knuckles is to thank for that.......now, good luck...." the person said running off.
I caught of flash of her under the hood and saw some blond hair.....
"That person seems....familiar...." I said, slicing the bars down.
"Ryan, perhaps you should use these as well..." Sonic said, placing the emeralds down in a circle.
"If I can..." I said, concentrating like Sonic and Shadow.
The emeralds began to spin around and float in the air.
A dazzling light appeared and we were changed.
Sonic became a dazzling gold and transformed into Super Sonic.
Shadow became a stunning silver and transformed into Super Shadow.
As for me, the feeling was incredible....my hair became a golden blonde as I was enveloped by a golden-silver aura.
"Wow, this is.....incredible. Guess this makes me Super Ryan." I said with a laugh.
Sonic and Shadow nodded.
"Well, which way?" I asked.
"Well, strangely the prison complex is smack dab in the middle of the base." Shadow said.
"So....we dash out and cause some chaos." I said, flying through the walls in one direction as Sonic and Shadow took off in other directions.

Meanwhile....

The hooded figure had made it outside and met with another guy in a black suit.
"So, do you think that'll work?" he asked.
"Well," The hooded figure said, taking off her robe, "It should."
"Well, shall we go babe?" he said, calling his car.
"Yes, our debt is now paid. We've righted where we went wrong." she said getting into his car.
The two drove off into the sunset.....

--------------------
Neo-Gun...Control Center

"No. 1, sir....we're getting reports of massive damage all over the complex." said a tiger reploid.
"Damn, how could those three have caused so much trouble?" he said, pounding the control console, "I've got no choice....activate K-01!"
I sped through the complex, letting them have it.
Until.....
I arrived at the Control Center.
"Hahahahaha.....nice of you to make it, Ryan!" said No. 1.
"You....prepare to die." I said, grabbing my saber.
"Hmmm, something's different about you......." No. 1 said.
"No, really....perhaps the green eyes...or maybe the spiky blond hair...or how about the fact that I'm now a human flashlight...." I said, putting on the sarcasm.
"Well, than how about this....." he said as a capsule came out of the ground.
A crackle of lightning and a clap of thunder happend as the contents of this capsule burst out.
"*blinks* It....it....it can't be......" I said.
"Aw, hello Ryan-boy......good to see you again...." said the mysterious reploid.
"Hahahaha, say hello to K-01.........or you can just call him....Konamison."
"Actually I prefer to be called Maximillian....." He said, thrusting his hand through No.1.
"Argh..why?" No.1 said, collapsing.
"Their can only be one number one...." Konami...er...Maximaillian said.
No.1 died.......
"Ha, *shakes head* another loser back to challenge me...." I said to Maximillian.
"Perhaps, Ryan-boy, but it won't be the same." Maximillian said, popping a machinegun out of his arm.
"Oh, crap...." I said as the bullets hit me.....and did no damage.
"*blink* Huh? What?" I said, noticing I took no damage.
"Hmmm, guess that won't work....Then..." he said, pulling out his own beamsaber, "Let's duel!"
I activated mine, "Yes, seems fitting, I beat you on your grounds...now I'll beat you on my turf!" I said, lunging at him.
Maximillian blocked and pushed me back.
"That all ya got?" I said.
"Nope, try this!" He said, chucking his saber at me.
I bent down as it flew by me and stuck into the wall.
"Nice try, but now....your finished!" I said, rushing at him, "Final Slash!"
My saber cut through him and sliced him into two.
"Ouch....." he said as both halves of Maximillian sparked.
I put up my saber.
"I win...." I said as Maximillian exploded.

Sonic and Shadow soon caught up, carrying the injured, but thankfully alive Knuckles and Tails.
"*phew* Thank God they're all right." I said.
Something in the background caught Sonic's eye.
Sonic tossed Knuckles at me.
"You guys go, I'll meet you outside." Sonic said.
"Um....Okay." I said, following Shadow out.
Sonic looked around and found what he saw.
"Oh, my, God.....they were going to....." he said, pushing a button.
A wall slid up and there appeared one golden capsule.
"Hmmm, good, he hasn't been fully programmed." Sonic said, lifting the capsule and taking off.

------------------------
My House.....2 days later.

In the end, the President sooned realized his mistakes and began to create a story that G.U.N. underminded his postions and went against him.
This, of course, was total crap...but we still went and accepted his small token of appreciation for stopping the reploids.
Some Congressional medal and a small reward.......that's politics for you.

Anyway, Knuckles and Tails are recovering fine and should be good soon. Well, now its back to the normal drag......something still bugs me though.
Who exactly was that mysterious person who helped us?
She seemed familiar.....I sensed her before, but where I can't remember......anyway, at least this experience has taken my mind off my loss for awhile.
But now I once again play the game, missing her.....and hoping for something good to happen one day............................

------------------------
Present Day and Time.....Space Between Dimensions

I awoke and was in a cold sweat.
I looked over and saw Charmy.
That made me smile and then I layed back down.
It awoke Charmy, "You okay Ry?" Charmy asked.
I smiled and kissed her, "What do you think?"
"I'll take that as a yes." She said, snuggling back up to me.
I soon was asleep again and dreamed a dream, of a typical new dream.............
