Chapter 14
As I started to ready the mystic weapon in my hands for battle, large surges of dark energy started to burst from all around the area like little bolts of lightning. As the energy bolts surrounded us like in a bird cage, I started to hear the voice of Sailor Mercury starting to say to all of us, "Oh my...Everyone, look out! The energy surge that I'm detecting with my computer is Ixis's energy level! It's greater than what we have ever expected! Be on your guard because Ixis could be trying to launch a sneak attack right about....!"
The Sailor Scout's words were then cut short by the voice of person that I never wanted to hear again. "Why, young lady, I believe that you might be right about my great power being increased slightly, but greatly mistaken about my strategy," the voice of the wicked old sorcerer began to say. "As for my dark energy bolts, they are merely just a small portion of what I could do with my newly gained power that I have absorbed from the three emeralds that I had.
"Now with that aside, I would like to go onto more important matters: like the great surge of power that the boy Miguel had just let loose outside of his body and displayed in front of all of you a few moments ago."
"What of it, Ixis?" Sonic began to say to the evil wizard's voice with an annoyed tone of voice of his own. "If you want the great power that Miguel has in his body, then you're going to have to fight all of us to in order to get it."
"Oh, don't you worry about that, Quickster, for that is exactly what I intend to do," Ixis responded to the blue hedgehog with a cunning evil voice. "Now that I have found the true source of the great power that I was searching for many years, there's no need for the boy to live in this realm! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
"If you're so confident in that you think that you might succeed, Ixis, then why don't you come out and fight all of us?!" Shadow said with an annoyed and angry tone in his voice. "Or are you too afraid that Miguel will just unleash the great power that he just released from his body like before?!"
The evil wizard responded to the black hedgehog's words by bellowing a loud, echoing, and terrifying laugh that sent chills to any human's spine. To me, the laughter that Ixis gave out sounded insane, mad even. But before the sorcerer could even show his excuse for a face, I saw that the dark energy that he was giving out started to disappear out of sight. In it's place, came a black fog-like cloud that is shrouded in both mystery and darkness. What came out of the cloud was none other than the dark wizard himself: Ixis Naugus.
As soon as the sorcerer made his appearance, I heard the shrilling voice of Sailor Moon starting to scream as soon as she saw Ixis. "Ew! What in the world is that horrible disgusting thing?!" she shouted as she held onto Tuxedo Mask's arm with a tight grip. "He looks like a fashion disaster waiting to happen!"
"That's what we would like to know!" I heard Uranus reply as I kept my eyes towards the old, ugly dark magician that kept on grinning at us like shark to its prey. "What kind of creature are you suppose to be anyway, sorcerer?! Are you some kind of mutate or something?!"
That was when Sailor Neptune started to join in on her cousin's words by saying, "Well, whether you're a mutate or not, all of us are not going to allow you to take away Miguel's life for the power that you have been seeking. That power rightfully belongs to him, not to the likes of anyone like you, you horned freak!"
That was when Ixis started to put out his clawed hand towards all of us and all of a sudden, three of the Chaos Emeralds that the warlock had in his possession appeared out of thin air. When all of us gasped in surprise at what we just saw, I then saw the entire area that we were in starting to turn dark, nothing but pitch blackness all around us. I turned to see what Ixis has done and saw that both the Sailor Scouts and the SEGA heroes were still visible to the pitch darkness that had surrounded us.
"What in the world is that horned freak trying to do?!" Sailor Jupiter asked as I saw her turning her head in all directions in order to see where she was. From the way that I saw the expression on her face, I knew that she was starting to become frightened about what was going to happen to us next.
"Ixis is starting to harness all of his dark energies as well as the Chaos Emeralds' in order to send us to another plane of existence, you guys!" I heard Mars responding with a fearful tone in her voice. "I can sense it growing to unstoppable strength! But what I don't understand is where is he taking us!"
"I think that I know exactly where that horn head is taking us!" Sonic said as I heard his voiced echoed throughout the darkness. "I'm betting both of my shoes that the jerk is planning to send us all to the Zone of Silence to get an unfair advantage!"
'Those are the kind of things that I should be saying myself,' I thought to myself as I kept my guard up for any surprise attack that Ixis might be planning. 'What is Ixis planning by sending us through this realm of darkness? Is this some sort of attack that he's planning to unleash on all of us? Or is he sending us all to the Zone of Silence so that he can have the home advantage like Sonic said?'
As I thought about the situation, Tails started to shout to everyone as his voice echoed throughout the darkness, "Everyone, Ixis is indeed transporting all of us to another plane, but it's not the Zone of Silence!"
"You are certainly right about that, little fox!" Ixis started to say as I turned my attention back towards him and saw his shark-like grin growing wider than it did before. "I am taking all of you to the location of my new palace where I would establish my rule! And I think that your Sailor Scout friends might be familiar with its surroundings!"
"What do you mean by that, you horned-jerk?!" Venus shouted with an angry tone of voice as the sorcerer continued on laughing his head off as an answer to her question.
Suddenly, the pitch blackness started to faded from sight. When the blanket of shadows have finally disappear, all of us started to look around at where we were. When I first looked at the place, all I saw were ruins of an ancient city that looked as though it existed for more than thousands of years. From what I looked at, it looks as though the city were destroyed by a huge battle a long time ago. I then started to hear the horrified gasps of all of the Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask as I saw that the surprised expressions on each of their faces.
"Uh, are you all okay?" I asked the entire Sailor Scout group as they continued to become in awe at the sight that they saw. "Is something wrong?"
That was when Knuckles started to say to me, "I guess that's when Ixis meant for when he said that this place would be familiar to them. But what I really want to know is where in the world are we?"
The red echidna got his answer from Sailor Moon, who I saw was shaking in terror as to when she first saw the place that we were in. "The place that we're all in right now was a former kingdom ours, Knuckles," she began to say with a trembling voice. "We all once lived here together in peace and harmony before the armies of the Negaverse started to attack our home and..." That was all that Sailor could say before she began to cry in tears before she started to bury her face in Darien's black suit.
"Perhaps you should let me tell them, Serena," Tuxedo Mask said to his love as he held her with his arms and began to pat her on the back gently. He started to say his part of the history in order to answer the red echidna's question.
"You see, Knuckles," Darien began, "the ruins that you see before you, was once our kingdom that was on the moon's surface for about a long milliena, a place of great peace and prosperity, which was protected by a warrior of each of her own planet. We all lived a life of peace here in this kingdom in this until dark forces from another dimension called the Negaverse started to attack it. The former queen that once ruled here, Serena's mother Serenity, used up all of her life energy in order to save all of us from total destruction. Ever since then, we've each been reborn into the Earth as its defenders."
"W..Whoa! Wait a minute!" Tails began to inject as I saw him starting to fly towards the masked hero in the top hat. "Are you saying that all of us were transported from the city of Tokyo to the surface of this world's moon? That can't be possible! For one thing, all of us are still able to breath and..!"
That was when the young fox's voice was cut off by the voice of Sailor Mercury saying while she was walking towards him, "The reason why we're all still breathing, Tails, is because of the energy that these ruins still emit. You see, the Negaverse was able to devastate the kingdom, but didn't completely destroy the life energy that it emitted. That was the reason why we're all still breathing or why we didn't float up and down like balloons on the moon's gravity. Ever since then, we had only dreamed of re-establish the kingdom so that we could one day live in peace along with the people of the Earth."
When Mercury was finished speaking, I started to hear the evil voice of the sorcerer starting to say with a soft mad laughter, "Ha, ha, ha, ha! I'm so glad that all of you are familiar with the place that I've transported all of you in. You should also be glad to know that I've decided to re-establish these ruins of your former kingdom as a capital city of my new world order. Of course, I'm going to have to make a few changes on them firsts. Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee!"
After Ixis had finished saying those words, I started to hear the words of Sailor Neptune shouting angrily to the sorcerer in response to his words, "You Sicko! How dare you say that you're planning to make this place that was once peaceful into a place where you can set you're so called, "World Order!" We should all take you down right now for what you're about to do!" When I turned my attention to Sailor Neptune and saw her face, I can tell from the expression on it that she wasn't to pleased about what Ixis is planning to do.
"I agree with Michelle!" Uranus said as I turned and saw that she had the same tone of voice and angry expression on her face. "You're insane for thinking of setting up your new palace at where we once lived! If you also think that we'll allow you to get away with it, then you'd better think again!"
Before I could have the chance to even speak with the dark wizard, I heard the voice of Sailor Moon starting to Ixis with a voice that sounded sort of angry and yet confident at the same time. "Listen, you horned excuse for a horror movie monster!" she began to say to the evil warlock. "My mother gave her life to save me and the others from being completely destroyed! If you think that I'm just going to run and hide while you tried to build your new palace over our ruined former home, then you got another thing coming!"
That was when I saw the ditzy leader starting stand in front of the sorcerer and began to say her speech with a voice full of confidence, "So in the name of the moon, I, Sailor Moon, shall punish all those who worship the forces of evil and that means you!"
After Sailor Moon have finished her speech, Sonic responded to the blonde with an impressed tone while giving her a golf clap, "Now those are words that I never thought that I hear from the likes of you, Moon Babe! You're a whole lot tougher than I took you for when we first saw you!"
That was when I heard the voices of three of the Sailor Scouts starting to say to the blue hedgehog with some comments of their own. "Of course she's tough, Blue Boy!" Mars said with an annoyed tone of voice. "I mean, sure that she can be a real pain in the neck sometimes, but she's really a good leader!"
"That's right, Sonic!" Sailor Mercury added with the same tone as Mars. "She might be a klutzy person and doesn't do her homework like she promises to do, but she's a real pro when it comes to a battling with a monster like Ixis!"
"This is real sad," I heard Shadow the Hedgehog said as he let out a sigh of embarrassment and annoyance while rubbing his head with his two hands as if he has a headache. "Here we are in some ancient ruins that are on this surface of this world's moon, which Ixis is planning to use as the seat of his rule, and here you guys are arguing like dogs fighting over a bone!"
"Shadow's right you guys," I heard the voice of Tails saying as I saw him keeping his attention towards Ixis. "Now is not the time to start arguing about things like this! Right now, all of us have other things to worry about..!"
Knuckles then cut in on the young fox's words by adding, "Like Ixis now trying to absorb the power of the three Chaos Emeralds that he has in his possession into his body 'cause that's exactly what he's planning to do!" As the red echidna pointed to where Ixis is standing, I turned my eyes to the direction that he was pointing and saw exactly what Knuckles meant.
What I saw at that moment was Ixis starting to wave his clawed hand around the three Chaos Emeralds that he has in front of him and started to move them towards his body. I saw the three emeralds started to literally go inside of the sorcerer's body, like it's made of either clay or mud. At that moment, all that I've ever saw the sorcerer do is stand there like a motionless statue doing nothing while staring into the sky with a expressionless look on his face with the Star Sword's silver blade trained at his direction. Despite what I saw on his horrible and ugly face, I knew that whatever Ixis was planning to do, it isn't going to be good at all.
All of a sudden, the evil wizard started to give out a small chuckle. Then he began to scream in which almost sounded like pain that is somewhat mixed in with mad laughter as he exploded with violent rays of emerald colored light that started to surround the ruins all around us. The light was so bright that it nearly made me go blind as I started to hear Ixis beginning to give out a loud echoing and menacing laughter.
As I heard the laughter growing louder by the minute, I started to hear the voice of Sailor Pluto starting to say, but barely becoming visible for me to listen, "Everbody...Ixis is starting to..." That was all I could hear from the Guardian of Time before I heard a large explosion that almost sounded like a regular bomb being set off near a building rather than Ixis's crazed laughter that roared throughout the entire ruined area.
When the light along his mad laughter started to die down a bit, I begin to blink both of my eyes in order to get them to focus while still holding onto the mystic weapon. When I finally got them focused, I turned all of my attention back to Ixis and saw a sight that I never wanted to see. I saw the dark sorcerer's entire form completed transformed into something that is much more terrifying than his normal form was. His body was now all huge and bulked up with muscles as he continued to stand there like a towering statue. His regular hand was the same as it was, but his clawed hand was now an even larger lobster claw with a hard black shell that looks impossible to break with even an metal crowbar. As for his face, other than the fact that it now has three large horns on top of his head and his beard is more hairy and messed up than it looked before, it's now even more uglier than it was a while ago.
As the transformed sorcerer stood in front of all of us with his face looking all possessed and insane, he immediately turned his ugly face towards my direction and pointed his now sharp claw at me. Ixis began to say to me with a low but screeching sounding voice while pointing his transformed demon eyes at my direction, "You, Miguel! I choose you to become the first of my victims! Once you're miserable existence has ended, I'll then gain the great power that you possess in your body as well as the Star Sword and pull this world into the Zone of Silence so that I could be able to claim it for my own! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
I almost trembled in fear for when the horrible and insane sorcerer had said those words to me, but I managed to keep myself from shaking uncontrollably with complete panic. But before I could think of something to say to the demonic Ixis, my view of the transformed wizard was soon being blocked by the glamorous figure Sailor Neptune, standing in a battle pose.
"I won't allow you to do that, you three-horned freak!" Neptune shouted to him as she readied herself for any attack that Ixis was planning to do. "If you're really planning to get the great power that you desire so much from Miguel's body, you have to go through me first!"
That was when I finally started to panic for her life as I started to hear Ixis respond to her words with an even more ugly smile on his nasty face along with an echoing laughter that made him sound like a giant. "HA! HA! HA! If that's the way you want it, Sailor Scout, then I'll do what you requested and quite literally go through your body in order to get to your boyfriend! SO PREPARE TO DIE, MORTAL!!"
"Michelle, have you completely lost your mind?!" Sailor Uranus shouted to her cousin in fear for her safety. "You'll be killed by this monster if you stand in his way...!"
But the words of the Neptune's partner were then drowned out by the insane shouts of the Ixis as a sign that he is ready to strike the Sailor Scout of the Sea at any moment. As soon as the evil sorcerer began to charge towards Michelle at an incredible speed, I soon started to shout out Shadow the Hedgehog's special ability, "Chaos Control!" Before I knew it, I found myself traveling through the now paused scene and got to Sailor Neptune just in time before I saw that Ixis was about twenty feet away from his first victim.
When I unfrozen the time around all the area and as it begin to start again, I shouted to Neptune while pushing her out of the mad sorcerer's path, "Michelle, move!"
As the two of us separated from each other in order to escape the mad assault of Ixis, the evil warlock then stopped after he was about fifty feet away from either me, Sailor Neptune, the SEGA heroes, or the rest of the Sailor Scouts. Suddenly, without warning, the mad insane sorcerer began to shout to the top of his lungs in order to call forth a green sphere of energy in front of him. Ixis started to point the orb of chaotic energy to Neptune's direction with an insane look on his face that made death himself seem to want a vacation.
I soon found myself running towards the Sailor Scout once again as I used Shadow's Chaos Control ability to warp myself to her side and, before I even realized it, I was suddenly gliding through the air while holding onto Michelle's arm at the same time. I was curious at first about how I was able to fly, but in a dangerous situation that I was in, I didn't care.
As I was gliding through the surface of the ruined kingdom at a great speed, I heard the voice of Sailor Neptune saying to me, "Miguel, I didn't know that you can fly as well as your two friends Tails and Knuckles!"
"Neither can I!" I responded to the Sailor Scout while continuing to fly on through the air. "I guess that I was just lucky that I was able to just in time to get you out of...!" My words were then interrupted by the sight of a huge green energy ball that almost had the two of us by a long shot.
When the sphere of energy hit its undesired target, which is one of the ancient buildings, I looked around the area to see if Ixis was still hot on our trail. Sure enough, the insane looking wizard managed to caught up with the two of us while flying through the air on his own, with his face looking all determined other than looking what his face was really like: ugly. Ixis started to charge at the two of us at a ramming speed while pointing his clawed hand towards our direction. I then saw the huge claw suddenly started to transform, shaping its entire form into almost like that of a sharp sword blade.
Just when the sorcerer was about to impale his blade-like weapon at either one of us, I suddenly saw Knuckles gliding from out of nowhere and launched one of his white-gloved fist at the sorcerer's face, causing the insane warlock to fly out of our way and crash to the nearest wall of a ruined building. I landed to the ground just close enough for the two of us to see if the evil wizard wants more that was coming to him. But just when the dust cloud was about to clear itself in order for me to see what had really became of Ixis, Shadow suddenly appeared in front of us and launched powerful streams of yellow energy to where the wizard was buried.
As the arrows of yellow energy collided and exploded on contact with where the sorcerer was lying, I found myself saying to the two of them, "Whoa! Thanks you two! If it hadn't been for you guys, then Ixis would've killed both me and Michelle off with that energy blast or that dangerous looking sword of his! But, how did the two of you managed to catch up with the three of us anyway when we're flying at a high speed?"
"And did you finish off that monster?" Sailor Neptune asked as she looked at the debris carefully where the sorcerer landed as it was once a home to an ancient people.
That was when Shadow started to answer my question by saying while holding up what appears to be a Chaos Emerald in his hand, "I used the power of one of the Chaos Emeralds that was in your backpack in order to warp both Knuckles and myself to where the two of you were. Sonic and Tails stayed behind in order to prepare for one of Ixis's sneak attacks. When the two of us saw the two of you flying in the air like you did a few moments ago. We then started our assault against the freak with all of our strength without any questions of how you were able to fly on both our heads."
"However, I doubt that our combined attack wouldn't hold him down for long," Knuckles replied as he kept his eyes on pile of debris that held the sorcerer Ixis. "If all of us don't finish him off here and now, then not only will this world be pulled into the Zone of Silence, but all worlds would fall under his control."
"Whoa! Wait a minute! Hold on, Knux!" I responded to the red echidna. "Are you trying to tell me that Ixis's true objective was to pull all worlds into the Zone of Silence?! That sounds pretty insane if you ask me!"
"Well, it seems that a mere human like you isn't as dim-witted as you first appear to be in my eyes!" I suddenly heard the voice of the wicked sorcerer say to me as it echoed throughout the entire ruined kingdom. "Hee! Hee! Hee! Then again, since having discovered that you are the key to the ultimate power, I shouldn't be surprised that you are brighter than you appeared to be! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
As Ixis's cruel and evil laughter continued to echo throughout the area, Sailor Neptune started to shout out to the dark wizard with an angry tone in her voice, "Show yourself, coward! Fight the four of us if you want the power that you desire so much!"
"Hee! Hee! Hee! Ha! Ha! Ha!" The evil wizard laughed as his mad laughter roared throughout the area like an echo in the mountains. "You mere mortals are very foolish for challenging me with my new found power to a fight that you couldn't hope to possibly win!" With those words, the rubble that Ixis is thought to be buried in, suddenly erupted with an explosion of rocks and green light as he began to rise in front of us.
With his whole mutated and ugly body rising to the sky in mid-air, Ixis started to point his demon eyes towards the four of us. When he sets his sights on me, he began to speak to me with an ugly evil smile on his face, "You really are really more impressive of all human beings for when I first laid my eyes upon you, Miguel. Do you and your foolish friends really believe that I would be satisfied ruling only this world? With all planets plunged into the Zone of Silence, I will conquer all beings from all across the universe and there will be no one to stop me! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
Before I could even respond to the mad sorcerer, Shadow started to respond to the evil sorcerer by saying with an angry tone, "You freak! I'd knew that you weren't planning on leaving any of other worlds alone! Now it's time to put a stop to you're mad plans right here and now!"
"And there's no words that you can say that could stop us!" Knuckles said as I saw him readying both his fists in order to get for battle.
That was when I suddenly started to say to the sorcerer while pointing the weapon's silver blade towards him, "You heard what all of my friends said, you walking and talking freak show! If you want the power and the Star Sword that you been wanting so much, why don't you come and get me?"
"Ha! Ha! Ha!" the wizard responded as he laughed with an insane tone as he began to glow with the same emerald-colored light that surrounded him before. "If think that you mere mortals could stand up to the awesome powers of a superior being such as myself, then you're only asking to die at my hands! So as like I have said to the Sailor Scout: ALL OF YOU PREPARE TO DIE!!"
With those words, the mutated and mad sorcerer started to fly towards the four of us with an incredible speed. Just when Ixis was almost about to close in on the four of us, a burst of golden sphere of energy collided with the evil wizard's chest and force him into wall of another ancient ruin. I was a bit curious about what just happened but then a shining golden figure started to shone in front of the four of us with a brilliance that was beyond the dawn. When I have finished blinking both of my eyes in order to get them focused, I soon found myself looking at the transformed version of Sonic the Hedgehog: Super Sonic.
He then said to the four of us as he spoke in a changed and adult-like voice, "Are you four alright? Good thing that I made it here just in time before that three-horned living nightmare could've become a permanent part of yours'."
Before I could even have the chance to speak with the super-powered hedgehog, Shadow started to speak to Super Sonic with a serious and annoyed tone in his voice, "The four of us could've handled that transformed freak by ourselves without your help, Sonic. Just when did you transformed into your Chaos Form anyway?"
"And where are Tails and the rest of the Sailor Scouts?" Knuckles asked with the same tone of voice as Shadow's. "Don't you know that they could get ambushed by Ixis when...!"
That was all the red echidna could say before his voice was cut off by Sailor Neptune saying to all of us as I saw her facing at a different direction, "Guys! All of the others are coming this way at fast rate and your fox friend, Tails, he looks sort of...different."
"How different, Michelle?" I asked the beautiful Sailor Scout as I turned my face to the direction that she was looking and saw what she meant.
As I saw the rest of the Sailor Scout group running towards us along with Tails, that was when I started to notice something about the little fox that I didn't take notice before. Tails flying towards the four of us at an incredible speed, without the use of any of his two twin tails. The fur on the young fox genius looked a bit darker than its normal color, almost close to the color red. I also noticed that his entire fox body has grown a bit, but not enough to match the exact height as Super Sonic. The look on his face almost makes him look like that of a excited teenage boy, excited about a fight that was almost about to take place. That was when I realized that who I was looking at was none other than Tails's own Chaos Form: Turbo Tails.
When the super-powered fox along with the rest of the Sailor Scouts arrived to where me, Sailor Neptune, Knuckles, and Shadow are, I soon started to take in a deep breath before I started to asked the now fully grown fox with a bit of astonishment in my voice, "Um, Tails, is that really you there?" I was still shocked at the fact that I saw the young two-tailed fox in his Chaos Form for the very first time, in person.
That was when Turbo Tails started to answer my question with a sarcastic tone while speaking with a voice that almost like that of a young teenager, "Of course it's me, Miguel! Who do you expect to be speaking to? That evil freak Ixis who taken over my body? Please!"
With those words said to me, I soon started to calm myself a bit while giving out a huge sigh of relief. As I started to regain my posture, I soon began to speak with the transformed fox, "So how did you and Sonic managed to transform into your Chaos Forms anyway?"
That was when I heard the answer come from the mouth of Sailor Mercury, "When both Knuckles and Shadow warped in order to catch up with you, Michelle, and Ixis, Sonic and Tails started to grab two of the four Chaos Emeralds from your back pack and began to transform right in front of us. Then Super Sonic started to fly off the distance at a incredible speed as his transformed friend, for who he called Turbo Tails, stay behind to protect the rest of us from any sneak attacks that Ixis might plan to use."
"Okay, now it's your turn to explain what is going on around here!" Sailor Mars started to say to the four of us as she used a stern but annoyed tone of voice. "Now, how is it possible for your four animal friends were able to transform into super-powered beings using the power of the Chaos Emeralds?! How...?!" The Sailor Scout's words were suddenly cut off by a mass explosion that came from the place where Ixis was lying.
"I think that we'd better save the explanations for later, Mars!" Super Sonic said as I saw him turn his attention towards the exploding rubble. "Right now though, I think that Ixis is planning on giving us one of his big comebacks!"
"And this time," Turbo Tails said with a sarcastic tone as he readied both of his fists at the rubble that Ixis was buried in, "I don't think that he's going to say, "I'm sorry," for what he's planning to do!"
When the evil mutated sorcerer emerged from the rubble of the ruin building, he started to turn his ugly face towards all of us and said with a booming tone to his voice, "Hee! Hee! Hee! Ha! Ha! Ha! Is that all that you can do, Quickster?! That harmed me no more than a little kitten's scratch! I'm even amazed at how you managed to reach such a level of power! I bet that the little fox's power of attack is the same! These words also fit these silly Sailor Scouts quite perfectly!"
"Hey! You'd better watch what you say around me, you freakish big horn!" Turbo Tails started to say to the dark wizard as he started to raise both of his fists for battle.
"Exactly what do you mean for when you said that all of us Sailor Scouts are weak?!" I heard Sailor Venus shouting to the sorcerer with an annoyed tone. "All of us are a whole lot stronger for when we combine our powers together!"
"That's exactly what we're planning to do with you, you horn-headed freak of nature!" shouted the voice of Sailor Jupiter with the same tone of voice as her friend. "No matter how much power that you gained, there's no way that you'll be able to beat all of us!"
"Oh, I think that I may have to disagree with you, young lady! Hee! Hee! Hee!" Ixis responded to the warrior of lightning as he cackled even worse laugh than he had done before. "You see, ever since I have accumulated the energies of the three Chaos Emeralds that I had, my senses have been heighten to great capacities that I never thought that I could ever reach. It also enhanced the power of my Sixth Sense which allows me to read the minds of other lower evolutionary creatures such as yourselves!"
"Just exactly what do you mean by that?" Sailor Moon began to ask the ugly wizard as I saw her with a curious and blank look on her face, considering the situation that we were in. "You almost sound like either Raye or Amy for when their trying to explain something strange to me."
The words that came from the blonde leader of the Sailor Scouts almost made the rest of us want to give her a small smack on the head for making such a comment in a situation that we were in. That was when I heard the voice of Sailor Mars starting to say to her ditzy leader, "Augh! Serena! What were you thinking about saying things like that in a situation like this?! I swear, you are about as dim as a dull light bulb!"
Before the leader of the Sailor Scouts could have a chance to respond to her friend/adversary, I started to speak to the two with a tone of both an annoyed and sarcastic tone of voice, "Uh, I don't think that you two would have noticed this, but we're being under attacked by an evil sorcerer who wants to take over the world here! So can you two just put a lid on this after...?!"
That was when my words were cut off by the voice of Ixis shouting towards us with an angry tone that sounded like a boom of lightning. "That's enough out of you, mortals!" he shouted with an annoyed tone as his voice echoed throughout the ruined kingdom. "I've had enough of these little distractions of yours! Either your friend Miguel, surrenders himself quietly or I'll give all of you something that would want all of you to beg for death!"
When the dark wizard had said those words, I soon found myself starting to fume with anger and hate that I have felt towards the sorcerer a while ago. Before I could have a chance at charging towards Ixis with the mystical Star Sword in my hands, Super Sonic began to say to the sorcerer with an annoyed tone in his adult sounding voice, "That's enough out of you, freak! If you want to get your hands on the power that you want so badly, then you're going to have to get through me in order to get it!"
"Don't forget about me, Sonic!" Turbo Tails began to say to his super-powered friend as both he and the golden colored hedgehog started to emit an emerald-colored aura that means to me that the two of them are getting ready to fight.
"Hey, don't forget about the two of us, you guys!" I heard both Knuckles and Shadow shouting as I saw the two landing next to their friends.
Before I could figure out the meaning for their actions, I suddenly saw Super Sonic throwing what appears to be a Chaos Emerald towards Knuckles, allowing the red echidna to catch it with his huge gloved hand. Before I could even blink or even think about what the two serious type SEGA heroes were doing, I saw them starting to emit a powerful green aura that was beginning to surround their bodies. That was when I saw both the red echidna and black hedgehog starting to transform into their own Chaos Forms: Hyper Knuckles and Super Shadow. Super Shadow almost looks like Super Sonic, but his fur is all silver and still has all of the red streaks on it. Hyper Knuckles has a color that is almost like an electric pink and he has very long dread locks that were longer than the ones that he had before.
As I saw the four SEGA heroes standing in front of the transformed wizard as they all faced him with brave and determined looks on each of their faces. That was when I started to go up with the Chaos-powered heroes and said, "Do you guys think that I would allow you four to have all the fun without me? Well, fat chance of that happening!"
"Hey! What about the rest of us?" I heard the voice of Sailor Uranus saying with a tone of amusement in her voice, "Surely you guys would need all the help that you can get."
"My cousin is right, you guys," I heard the voice of Neptune adding with the same tone of voice as her relative. "How do you expect all of us to just stand here and watch you have all the fun?"
That was when I saw the four super-powered heroes starting to have puzzled looks on their faces for the moment. Then that was when Super Sonic started to say to me with a little chuckle in his adult voice, "Well, if all of you are going to join the rest of us in battle, then you're going to need a major boost of power in order to fight."
"But how?" I asked the golden hedgehog while putting the Star Sword down for the moment as I started to wonder about what the meaning of Super Sonic's words was.
Then suddenly, from out of nowhere, about more than a hundred dozen Power Rings appeared in front of me out of thin air. From what I could guess, almost about five hundred golden rings were floating around in front of me in mid-air. As I was staring thoughtfully at the rings that appeared right in front of me, I heard the voices of the Sailor Scouts started to shouted too incoherently for me to understand the words that they were saying. That was when I started to see some of the golden rings flying away from me and flew right in front of the whole group of Sailor Scouts as they each stopped talking to one another in order to be shocked at the sudden appearance of the talismans.
"What in the world...?!" Tuxedo Mask started to say as he just stood there and watch the ring that was hovering in front of him with awe on his masked face. "Why are those rings starting to hover all over us all of a sudden?"
"Could somebody please tell me what's going on here?!" Sailor Moon shouted as she began to grow in both fear and panic as she watched the rings starting to hover closer to her. "It's as if these huge rings want to get closer to us and it's really freaking me out!"
That was when I turned my attention towards the Chaos Emerald-powered SEGA Heroes and saw them holding out their hands to me and the Sailor Scout group. But, before I could have the chance to ask them a question, Turbo Tails started to say to me with his teenaged voice, "Everyone grab a hold of those Power Rings! They'll be able to increase your powers to their very maximum for a short while, but it'll be enough for all of you to take on Ixis head on!"
"Just what does that mean?!" Sailor Pluto said as she looked at both the rings and the four super-powered beings. "Are you guys saying that in order to face off against this horned freak, we'd have to touch these golden rings and become powerful for a short amount of time?!"
"Okay, now this just enters the category as the "Most Weirdest Thing That Just Happened to Me Ever!" Sailor Venus said with a smart tone as she continued to stare at the golden rings that were hovering in front of her.
"Well, whatever they are, these rings are emitting a large portion of energy that the Chaos Emeralds were giving out earlier!" Mercury said as I saw her scanning the golden Power Rings with her own computer scanner device.
That was when I started to hear the voice of Ixis shouting at a louder tone of voice than he did before, "WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT, YOU FOOLISH MORTALS?! IF YOU DON'T RESPOND TO MY QUESTION SOON, THEN I'LL....!!"
That was when the mutated sorcerer's voice was cut short by the appearance of dozen of energy arrow spears and spheres as they collided with Ixis dead on. As the evil wizard flew a great distant away from all of us, I saw Super Sonic, Hyper Knuckles, Turbo Tails, and Super Shadow starting to fly towards the direction where mad sorcerer went.
"Well, what are you all waiting for!?" I heard the voice of Super Shadow shouting to us as he and the others started to fly to where Ixis landed. "Absorb all of the Power Rings as fast as you can while the four of us buy you some time by beating the daylights out of this freak! Then help us put this sorcerer down for good when you're done!"
As the four beings flew out of sight, I suddenly started to put the Star Sword back in the hilt that was on my back and started to reach for the Power Rings that were hovering right in front of me. Then all of a sudden, some of the rings started to respond to my reach by going through each of my arms and hung on them. As I wandered about the meaning of the rings' actions, I started to hear the voices of the entire Sailor Scout group beginning to gasp in surprise as I turned to their direction. I saw that each Sailor Scout, including Tuxedo Mask, having almost about twenty-five rings on each of their arms, which to me looks like about fifty for each group member.
"What in the world just happened here?!" Sailor Jupiter started to ask as she looked at the huge golden rings that were on her arms.
"I don't know exactly know what's going on, guys," Neptune responded as she looked at the rings for the moment and then turned her face to me. "Miguel, do you happen to know why these rings are on each of our arms?"
That was when I started to take in a deep breath and started to say to the entire Sailor Scout group, "I think that the time for explanations would be best kept for later, Neptune. Right now, Super Sonic and the others might need our help in order to defeat that freak of a wizard if we don't get going to where they went."
As I waited for the response of either of the group of Japanese heroes, Sailor Moon started to say to me with confidence and, what appears to be, a bit of anger in her voice, "Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to fight that Exis guy for trying to make what was once our home a part of his crazy plans! There's no way that I'm going to stand around here crying and do nothing while that horned-freak is going to take over the world using our former home!"
That was when the entire group of Sailor Scouts started to gasp in shock and surprise as they all stared at their leader. "Uh, Serena," Mars started to say to her blonde friend as she is still shocked at what she just said, "Are you all right? I think maybe that you're starting to get sick from the food that you had from a while ago."
"And by the way," I started to say to the blonde with a tone of a little concern and a bit of annoyance in my voice, "in case that you forgot this, the name of that sorcerer freak is Ixis."
I then saw Sailor Moon started to respond to her black hair friend and I as she look at us with a expression of what looks to be seriousness on her face, "Raye! This is serious! My mother gave her life in order to see that all of us were safe and reborn on the Earth so that we may one day restore it to its original state! But now that horned freak of a wizard shows up and wants to use our former home as a part of his crazy empire! Well, I'm not going to just stand around here and allow that to happen!"
That was when I heard the voice from Sailor Neptune starting to say to the leader of the Sailor Scouts, "She's right everyone! If we just let Ixis to do what he pleases with this world, then not only will this world be pulled into the Zone of Silence, but other worlds from other realities will suffer as well!"
"Well, then," I started to say to the entire group of anime super heroes, "what are we all doing around here just standing? We got to get to Son...I mean, Super Sonic and the others and help them stop that horned-freak of a wizard once and for all!"
"Yeah! Let's do it!" the entire group started to cheer with confidence as they raised their arms to the sky.
"Okay, now that it's settled," Sailor Pluto began to speak as she looked at every one of us with a look of seriousness on her face, "how should all of us be able to help with the attack on Ixis? It seems to me that the sorcerer shouldn't be taken lightly. So what are we all going to do about it?"
The answer to the Guardian of Time's question soon came out of my own mouth as I said to everyone in the Sailor Scout group, "I'm going to go on ahead with Super Sonic and the others in order to help them fight with Ixis. All of you Sailor Scouts then follow behind and use the power of the Power Rings to amplify the strength of your powers so that all of us could be able to take on Ixis at the same time. But be careful around the area where Ixis is. That horned freak might try to do something sneaky to get what he wants."
As I was starting towards the direction where Super Sonic, Turbo Tails, Hyper Knuckles, and Super Shadow were fighting Ixis, I heard the voice of Sailor Neptune shout for me, stopping my feet from moving just when I was about to leave at super sonic speed. "Miguel, wait," she said as I turned towards her direction and saw her beautiful face looking at me with a concern expression on it. "Are sure that you and your friends are going to be alright with fighting Ixis by yourselves? What if you all are...?"
That was all I could hear from the Sailor Scout's mouth before a loud explosion of energy suddenly starting to erupt out of the place where I was about to go to. I faced the direction from where the explosion was being emitted and then looked back at the worried face of Neptune for the moment, who was hoping that I would reconsider the course of action that I was about to make. I then turned away from her face without saying anything and started to run at super sonic speed to the direction where the explosion had come from and hoped that Super Sonic and the others will be alright for when I get there.
'I just hope that the Sailor Scouts are able to figure out the secret of the Power Rings before it's too late,' I thought to myself as I continued to run to my destination where the huge real battle is about to begin.
