AS: Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Everything is hectic at home.

-Nemics POV-

The light was dimming. I, the fox spirit known to all as Nemic, looked up at the sky from his position of a high cliff. The moon was bright, but even it couldn't hide the coming darkness. I could sense it. The girl, Ariel, had his scent on her. I am worried. My brothers and sisters, what do I do now?

-Ariel's POV-

I was listening to the others practice while I made lunch.

/They are good, but I miss home. Oh well, the sooner I find the jewels, the quicker I can leave./ I thought.

/But will you want to leave./ a voice in my head asked.

/Of course I will. This isn't my home./ I answered. /So, back off, Suri./ Suri didn't say another word. I was so distracted by the conversation that I never noticed the figure that appeared behind me. The figure tapped my shoulder and I let out a scream and spun around. Sonic was behind me, grinning. I let out a growl and he backed up.

"Do NOT sneak up on me again!" I yelled at him. He winced. "Anyway, lunch is ready." Sonic perked up at those words and dug into the mountain of chili-dogs I made for him. Sonia and Manic entered and ate the rest of the food I had made.

/Help us!/ a male voice yelled in my mind.

/Hurry!/ a child's voice cried.

/Please!/ a woman's voice screamed.

"Ahhhh! Be quiet!" I yelled and clutched my head in pain.

-In Robotropolis (3rd person POV)-

An orange furred, red haired fox was walking through the streets. Her golden eyes watched everything. She let out a low growl.

'I heard a rumor about the blue blur being here. He knows where Miles is. I know it.' she thought. A shiny stone on the ground caught her attention. It was the shape of a heart, but it was cracked down the middle. She picked it up.

/That looks very pretty./ a voice inside of her said.

/Chaos, shut up!/ she screamed internally.

/Nope. I like talking to you and driving you insane./ Chaos stated back. The fox ignored Chaos and kept walking. She never noticed the silver fox that was watching her from the shadows.

-Ariel's POV-

"I have to go. 'Buttnic has three jewels!" I yelled. Sonic and the others were trying to calm me down. I took a deep breath. "He has Star, Water and, Lightening. If he can figure a way to fuse the powers, we're all doomed."

"What can those three do?" Sonic asked nonchalantly. I glared at him.

"Electricity and water do not mix, add in the meteor attack of the star, and you get raining balls of electrified water," I stated coldly. They all shivered. "We have to move out. He's in Robotropolis. We go now!" I lead the way to Robotropolis. When we arrived Buttnic was waiting for us, more specifically me.

"Hello, Hedgehogs," he sneered. "I'm not surprised you're here, no not at all. In fact I'm glad you're here. I can finally get rid of you!" He threw both of his arms in the air and the three jewels arose from the ground and were glowing.

'That's impossible. I'm the only one who can summon the true spirits of the jewels, unless….I am going to kill Ares!' I thought and ducked underneath an overhang on a building.

/You must summon all of your power. Release the Phoenix!/ I heard a voice say. It sounded a lot like Nemic. I clutched the two stones I felt were the best suited for this, Sun and Moon.

"I summon forth from days long past,

A warriors call to thee I bless.

A single tear,

A wordless cry.

I summon on the Phoenix's wings

And Fly!" I chanted and brought out the bow. I felt my body changing to the, what I now call, hybrid form. It was basically the same form that Sonic had seen the night in the woods, even the ears were still there. The only difference was that I was wearing a red robe and had a fire bow in my hands. I aimed the arrow at the sky and it loose After a few seconds the sky was alive with fire. A large, golden phoenix descended from the sky onto the jewels. Buttnic ran in fright. All the jewels came back to me. I changed back into a hedgehog.

"Man, now that was cool," Manic stated. I let out a sigh and fainted.

-Mysterious person we know as Ares's POV-

'Damn that fox. He always ruins my plans. She can summon. This is not good. I have to find a way to stop her.' I thought as I watched the battle and saw the lovely hedgehog faint.
