Whooooo… okay, let's see… I've got this chapter… and another… *sigh* and another… and another… and another… and another… :-p

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Location: Hero Base, Dallas, TX
Time: 10:00 AM

*Razor was awakened by his cell phone ringing, and he quickly answered it.*

Razor: Hello? *it was his team manager*
FTM: Hey, Razor… I made some calls around a few places, and Thrasher told me that they are needing some cover shots and a good story. Think you could do an interview?
Razor: No problem, when?
FTM: Two days from now… Is that okay?
Razor: Lemme think… I've got nothing that day… no… yeah… I'm available that day.
FTM: Alright, cool… meet them at 1:00 PM at the Tony Hawk Memorial Skatepark.
Razor: Okay, later man.
FTM: Later.

*Razor closed his phone, putting it in his backpack.*

Sparks: So… what exactly happened to you yesterday?
Razor: I was just on the Cosmic Interstate… looking for information.
Sparks: The Cosmic what?
Razor: The Cosmic Interstate… I can't really explain it… but… I guess I might show it to you sometime today…

*Sparks just looked at him confusedly, and Razor headed off, to get something to eat. Razor brought back a few burgers to split between himself and Sparks, and they ate happily. Razor and him hung around for a long while, and it wasn't until 1:00 until Sparks looked Razor's way.*

Sparks: Did you mean later like about now or later like evening?
Razor *standing up*: Oh, heh… I forgot… sure, let's go…

*Razor led Sparks around to the nearest portal. Razor stopped where the portal should be, and turned around to face Sparks.*

Razor: Give it a minute…

*After a little bit of wait, Sparks jumped as he saw the portal come up, and Razor looked back.*

Razor: Let's go…

*Razor looked back as he stepped through, and was glad to see Sparks hurriedly follow.*

Location: Cosmic Interstate
Time: ???

*Razor smiled as he saw the expression that came across Sam's face.*

Sparks: Whooo-hooaa… this place looks like—
Razor: A highway on acid? I know…

*This got Sparks to laugh, and Razor started to walk aimlessly throughout the Interstate, almost playing tour guide to Sparks.*

Razor: I'm not exactly sure how old this thing is, but my guess is that it has been around since before our Universe was created, because some of the places along the way look quite a bit older. Like this one! *walking toward an exit sign that looked hand-written* Exit 98, the Carsinack Dimension. One of the first portals I ever came across. The place is relatively safe… but it is… very warm. Probably because their entire universe is coming together in a Great Collapse. It'll probably not even be around 100 years from now. *Coming up to the portal* Feeling daring?
Sparks: Let's go!

*Razor chuckled, and put on a pair of sunglasses he always kept on him. Sparks stopped*

Sparks: Wait—wait—wait… is there going to be like a blinding light on the other side or something?
Razor: Well… no… not blinding… but *stops self, taking off sunglasses, handing them to Sparks* I guess you should take them… you need them more than I, because I'm used to the light.

*Sparks nervously put the sunglasses on, and Razor headed through the portal.*

Location: Carsinack Dimension
Time: ???

*Razor blinked a couple of times, letting his eyes adjust, and Sparks looked around, then up.*

Sparks: The sky looks like its white, what's the deal? Whoa, is that a moon?
Razor: No, that would be another planet…
Sparks: Freaky…

*Razor stopped as he nearly ran smack into one of the natives, who looked human, though it had deep blue skin, and was a little rough, and thick.*

Razor: Oh, excuse me, sir.
Native: Zinke nossing ahv eet.

*Razor nodded and continued on, and noticed that Sparks was chuckling.*

Razor: What? What's so funny?
Sparks: "Zinke nossing ahv eet." *starts laughing.*
Razor: Hehe… I guess.

*Razor turned around, feeling a little bit like headed somewhere else, because he was afraid that planet was about to crash into the other planets. Razor found another portal, and headed through, Sparks following.*

Location: Cosmic Interstate
Time: ???

*Razor sighed, and looked back.*

Razor: There are tons of dimensions that are even more different than that one was. There are dimensions completely underwater, and without ground, even. It's almost unbelieve— AUGH!

*As he was interrupted, Razor was knocked to the ground by a hedgehog, mostly orange, coming through as if he were on fire. He wasn't, he just looked the part, and Razor started to stand up, and looked at the hedgehog as it started down a path. Razor tried to keep him in sight, but he stopped as he realized exactly where he was headed.*

Razor: Polaris…

*Razor turned, and noticed the military agent. He headed over to the man, and as he got to him, he looked up into his eyes.*

Razor: Halkon, right?
Halkon: Yes.
Razor: What's up with the guy come blazing through here like he was on fire. *With a chuckle* He looked the part, too.
Halkon: Vilk! Where'd he go!?
Razor *slyly, pulling out his emerald*: Vilk, huh? *thinking* That dude ran into the wrong person... literally...

*With this, the emerald started to glow, and Razor ran the glowing emerald across the back of his calf, causing it to glow the same shade of blue that the emerald's glow was. He looked at Halkon, and immediately began to slow down his timestream in order to catch up with… Vilk.*

Razor *accidentally overly bold*: Follow the trail, I'llgetyourman!

*The last part sounded so quickly said to Halkon because the spell had completely run its course, and before he knew it, Razor was out of sight, leaving Sparks in the dust. A trail of blue was conveniently left, and Halkon and Sparks chased after him.*

*Razor saw Vilk in sight, and he quickly whipped a second pair of sunglasses he had with him, heading right up beside Vilk and slowing down so that he was… well, walking, right beside Vilk, even though Vilk was sprinting. Razor looked casually back, and then looked at Vilk with what looked like a casual anger.*

Razor: You brought the military down this path? Are you stupid!?
Vilk: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but I had to get away…
Razor: Well guess what… *with this, Razor stuck his foot directly in Vilk's path, causing him to trip at full speed. Razor quickly bound the fellow to the ground, and with a chuckle removed the glasses, returning his time stream to normal.* You failed.

*Razor watched as Vilk struggled to get up, a vain attempt, and then looked at Razor fiercely.*

Vilk: What the fuck!?
Razor: You aren't going anywhere, Vilk.
Vilk: !? How the bloody Hell did you know my fuckin' name!?
Razor: …
Vilk: Let me go, damnit!!
Razor *sarcastic*: Wow, could you make it any more obvious you did something wrong?

*Razor noticed that Halkon and Sparks were getting fairly close, and he chuckled as they got close enough for Vilk to see. Halkon looked over at Razor, obviously amused, and Vilk looked at the two of them.*

Vilk *screaming*: Oh… so you work for the goddamned military!? Decided to fuckin' head me off and cage me like a motherfuckin' animal!?
Razor *wearily*: Will you shut him up? I can't take the cussing. Besides, he's not making any sense.
Vilk *screaming*: Fuck you!!!!!!

*Razor watched as Halkon got out the same sort of restraining unit that he apprehended Nagisoki in. As Halkon put the restraining unit around Vilk, Razor removed the spell which pinned the fellow to the ground, and shortly after the unit was off the ground. Razor soon felt relieved from the atmosphere of vulgarity, and Razor soon noticed Halkon studying him, contemplating something. After a moment, Halkon spoke.*

Halkon: What is, exactly, that emerald in your possession?
Razor *half-joking, heaving a sigh*: Ready for a kinda long thought?
Halkon: Yes.
Razor: It's what's known as a Chaos Emerald. They possess an energy that many would find impossible. If you know how it works, it can be your best advantage, but if you don't, it could end your life just as easily. The Chaos Emerald is something that seems to possess its own life. For it to do the more complex stuff it asks of you, it must be cared for.
Halkon: Wait, did you say that it seems to possess its own life?
Razor: Yes sir. The emerald is a magical element; miracles can be worked with it, as can black displays. In the right hands, it's a great peacemaker, yet in the wrong hands, it's a weapon of mass destruction more powerful than most people could ever imagine.
Halkon: How powerful?
Razor *wearily*: I couldn't begin to describe it… but, to put it in at least some sort of context… it would be greater than the power of 100 hydrogen bombs, each being 50 megaton warheads.
Halkon: Impossible!
Sparks: Yeah, what he said.
Razor *chuckling*: Only if you don't believe in it. I'm just glad that those in the Polaris Dimension have never laid hand upon one of these.
Halkon: Polaris Dimension?
Razor: Yeah, that's where Vilk was headed, and that's where Evil Sonic resides.
Halkon: How do you know all of this?
Razor: It's my family's legacy, sir. My family went through this interstate several times, trying to find every portal. I've been going in and out of this place ever since I was 5, as have I been practicing how to use the emerald. My family wrote the book on how to use these, or should I say books?
Halkon: Excuse me?

*With this, Razor brandished the first volume of the ten his family had written, showing it to the agent.*

Razor: My family literally wrote this book, and 9 others, explained simply enough to teach yourself. And, I would like that back, please.

*Halkon handed the book back to Razor. Razor remembered Vilk, and saw him still quite active.*

Razor *with a slight chuckle*: I guess you should be going. Adieu.

*Razor turned around and headed further down the Cosmic Interstate, looking for another portal that might interest Sparks.*
