Ultimate Chaos Control: Chapter 2
The Rising Storm

Outside Earths Atmosphere
Space Colony ARK

The space colony ARK floated adrift in space, silent and dead with no signs of life even seen. In it's endless rotation around the orbit of Earth. Suddenly, it fired it thrusters and the Eclipse Cannon was aimed at the alien ships near Pluto. All the lights turned on and all of the Cannon systems were starting up. A brilliant green light started to gather at the tip of the Eclipse Cannon, and ions of energy were flowing up the cannons lateral lines. The light disappeared, and then a beam shot out in the infinite space. It split into two separate beams as it passed the planet Jupiter racing at hundreds of thousands of miles per hour. The beams collided into two of the alien ships, ripping through their armor like it was nothing. The atmospheres of the ships were spewing out into space along with the crew and other ship components. The ships then violently exploded hurdling debris into space some colliding with other ships.

"Lord Nakashi, the Intrusion and Nova have been destroyed." Lieutenant Sonato added in mass panic his blood red hair was now in a mess to find out what happened, "the Cartographer and the Nemesis are heavily damaged."

"Call all of the fleet to a full stop!" Nakashi ordered. The massive amount of ships, nearly a quarter million in all, started to shut down their engines, slowing down to a complete stop. "Admiral Le-Fang find out what in Gaia's name hit my fleet." Nakashi turned and started to head to his quarters he look over his shoulder and said, "And do not fail me Admiral because if something happens like this again it will be your last."

Le-Fang fully knowing what this meant because it was how he was put into his position quickly said, "Yes, sir." And started issuing orders to his subordinate officers who frantically told other to help them find out what went wrong.

Fortunately barely anyone saw the beam that was fired from the ARK. This was mostly because everyone was asleep. Those who did see it though were reminded of the time five years ago when the ARK fired its first beam at the moon.

And also some of our hero's saw the beam. Knuckled was currently gliding over the Kyoto region when he saw the beam. It caused him to jump and he started a free fall before he was able to regain control of himself and continue his journey towards Tokyo which at his current speed would be just half an hour.

During this time he recalled the events that happened five years ago. He wished that he could go beck to those days and relive the adventure. He then noticed the lights of the city and wondered how long he had been thinking about the past. When he was close to Sonic's house he started his decent towards the ground. After he took the elevator to his friend's apartment he walked towards the door and knocked. Minutes later he tried to see if the door was open to see if Sonic was home. It was locked and Knuckles started to get impatient. He sat down by the door and decided to wait for his friend. He soon drifted off into the world of dreams. Strangely Chaos was in them.

Alarms were blaring on the moon base, and personnel were running towards their emergency stations. The person who was the most surprised to see this phenomenon with the ARK was the lead scientist Tails. If fact he was looking directly at the abandoned space station before it fired recalling memories from five years ago.

The soldiers on the moon base were prepping gear and checking all weapon systems incase the ARK was hijacked and the person was planning to fire on the Earth or the moon. The only problem was that if the ARK fired upon the moon the base and the remnants and repairs would be completely destroyed.

Tails walked up to one of the Sergeants and told him to get a squad ready for infiltration and just in case a firefight and meet him at the landing bay. Tails plan was to take a drop ship to the ARK and see if anyone has taken it over. If no one had, then Tails would simply deactivate it. Tails hoped and prayed that it was the latter, because if it wasn't the ARK had enough defense systems to wipe out a small army in a single volley.

Sonic was walking back to his apartment when he saw the ARK fire he shuddered at the memory and then a wave of sadness hit him when his mind thought of Shadow. He would never forget that day because of the death of an enemy who became his friend. It was now nearly dawn in Tokyo and Sonic started to head back to his apartment to get situated and contact his friends to see if they knew anything that happened.

When he arrived at his door he nearly jumped because he saw Knuckles was outside sleeping. He was surprised that one of his friends beat him to the punch. He unlocked his door and watched the sunrise from the balcony outside the door. After a dawn Sonic roused Knuckles from his sleep. "Hey Knuckles, wake up."

* * *

Knuckles was dreaming of some sort of space battle of another race on Earth that was before the Emeralds were made according to Chaos who was narrating. The Earth ships meet in space against the alien ships and opened fire. After what felt like hours the barrage of weapons stopped and there were only scratches on the alien ships that were hit with missiles that had the power of a nuclear warhead.

The alien ships returned fire and destroyed the entire Earth fleet in a matter of minuets. This made Knuckles frightened because he had never seen anything with that much power. Chaos then told Knuckles urgently "You must stop." He was then jostled from his sleep and he opened his eyes to see an old friend in which he needed to give urgent news to. Before he got up he connected the dream to what he saw in the Master Emerald and he knew that it had to be a fact.
