The first power was probably too well protected in this place… so he had to stop the second power from reaching it. He ran to the front gate, and waited there as the power approached, coming just as fast as before. Now that he was further from the first power, he could bear the growing pain of the impending collision of the powers… a cloud of dust was approaching. What was causing it was unknown, as of yet. But Omega could see 3 of some sort of flying robot behind the cloud, and they bore the insignia of Dr. Robotnik. He took the chain in hand, readying for battle. He could now see what was causing the dust cloud; it was some sort of red creature on 2 legs, with spikes on its knuckles and a white spot on its chest. And clutched to its chest was a large green gem.

Omega began running toward the red thing, slowly, then faster and faster as he kicked up a cloud of dust on his own. He now knew the source of the second power, but it wasn't malevolent… it simply was, much like the first power simply was. The red creature looked up at him in great surprise as he approached, but it didn't stop running. In fact, it narrowed its eyes and sped up. Omega ignored this, and leapt up with cat-like agility, over the red creature, into the path of the robots.

He swung his chain, wrapping it around one of the robot's wings. He jerked the chain, ripping the wings off, along with the engines. The engines spun loose, crashing into the second of the robots, causing an explosion of fuel and steel. The third simply passed him by and continued pursuing the red creature. "Foolish…" Omega muttered, lashing out with the chain again.

This action sliced the third robot cleanly in half, vertically. But the red creature didn't stop, once again speeding up and running toward the mansion. Omega ran after, feeling an intense need to stop the meeting of the powers. He was slightly faster than the red thing, but couldn't possibly catch it… it ran inside, into the building that Sonic, Amy, and Tails were in. Omega followed, some 50 feet behind. He managed to reach the room, just as the red thing collapsed on the floor. He raised his chain, ready to strike… but Sonic kneeled down next to the red creature, and Omega lowered his arm. "Who is that…?" he asked, coiling the chain next to his side again.

Sonic looked up at Omega. "No time. There were badniks chasing him-"

"Key word there; were. I took care of them. It wasn't too hard, and it seemed to be the right thing to do… I guess you're right, Sonic. Robotnik was just using me…"

Omega looked at his hands, the gloved hands… the back of them had Robotnik's insignia. He clenched his hands, and closed his eyes, squeezing the tears away. All his life… a lie. It was nothing but a lie. A damnable lie, of huge proportions… the rage in his heart toward Robotnik was building. And now, he wanted Justice, more than anything else. He growled, his emotions confused. He wasn't supposed to feel this way. He was a feline. Felines weren't meant to have emotion. His eyes snapped open, and he cried out in rage and sorrow, a call for justice from his very soul… and something very strange happened, stranger than any event he had experienced thus far.

The gem in the red thing's grasp began to glow, and reality began to fade away, leaving nothing but gray, the gem, and seven others, about 50 yards off. Everything else was totally still. The seven gems rose, as far as he could tell, and floated over to Omega. They orbited him for a moment, and then gathered around the larger green gem. A female voice started to say something… "The servers are the seven Chaos. Chaos is Power, Enriched by the heart. The Controller is the one that unifies the Chaos…"

And then a different, male voice started to say the same thing, as the female repeated it. "The servers are the seven Chaos. Chaos is Power, Enriched by the heart. The Controller is the one that unifies the Chaos…"

And a multitude of voices began to chant it, over and over… "The servers are the seven Chaos. Chaos is Power, Enriched by the heart. The Controller is the one that unifies the Chaos…"

And after an immeasurable time, after Omega had been quite overwhelmed, the chanting stopped. And a new voice spoke, sexless, ageless, emotionless, "I am Chaos Green. I am Strength."

A different, but similar, voice spoke. "I am Chaos Blue. I am Speed."

Five more, different, voices spoke, each in turn. "I am Chaos White. I am Agility."

"I am Chaos Violet. I am Strategy."

"I am Chaos Red. I am Stamina."

"I am Chaos Yellow. I am Skill."

"I am Chaos Cyan. I am Luck."

And all seven voices spoke at once… "Together, We are the Emeralds. We are Life."

"And they are Mine," a new voice spoke, quietly. "I am the Controller, the one that serves to unite the Chaos. They call me the Master Emerald. We have heard your cry, a cry we have heard many times, but never so powerful. You want Justice. Not Vengeance. You were fooled, tricked into a cause of evil. This is of no matter to us. The only thing that matters is how much you want the power to make your wishes true. So far, the Hedgehogs have been the only ones able to use the true power of Chaos. They were pure, they wanted NOTHING so much as to use the power… you want nothing so much as you want Justice. So how will you use the Chaos?"

"I… I will bring Justice to the world… I will. No matter what the cost. Justice will be had!" Omega replied.

Although totally intangible and invisible, and not even there, the voice seemed to be satisfied with this answer, even though its tone did not change. "Very well. Go back to the World. We will be there when the time comes for you to use the power."
