The Eclipse slowed as it reached Angel Island. It decloaked and flew toward the island. The green shield was still up. As Sperk was about to open a communication channel, the shield shimmered and a bubble formed on the surface, "What is this?" Sperk raised his shields, but then realized something, "He can shape chaos energy." A beam of energy shot from the bubble and hit The Eclipse's shields. The shield themselves collapsed around the ship and began to crush it, "Damn it all!" Sperk robotized himself and flew out of the ship. The chaos shields slowly crushed the ship until it exploded, "I like that ship!" Sperk activated his thrusters and flew at Angel Island. The shield opened just enough to let him in. He landed on the outskirts of the city. Everyone was laying on the grown and glowing with an ghostly green color, "What happened!"

As he looked around, Vega dropped from the sky, "My new master has put them to sleep for the time."

Sperk turned toward the black hedgehog, "Where is Purge?"

"The answer to your question is, where is Leda?" Vega laughed.

Sperk activated his shoulder guns, but suddenly he derobotized, "Huh!"

"Your robotizer is powered by chaos energy. Even your elemental stone and your sword are powered by the chaos. My master can bend them to his will."

Sperk cursed and drew his sword, "You can't control this!" He lunged at Vega and swung. Vega moved to dodge, but his feet glowed green and he was stuck in place. Sperk sliced him in half through the torso.

Vega laughed as his top half hit the ground, "I see! Master doesn't need me anymore. He will kill you!" His torso exploded.

"LEDA!" Sperk took off running. Sperk reached the apartment complex. He spotted her balcony and threw his sword at it. The sword was imbedded into the balcony and Sperk used his sharp spurs on his knuckles to climb up the wall. He retrieved his sword when he reached the balcony. He ran in and froze at the sight. Leda was laying in her bed and Purge had his hand over her stomach. It was glowing violet. Leda appeared to be asleep and having a nightmare, "Leave her alone!"

Purge looked up, "Your early! But I was waiting for you."

"How!"

"That vision that Sally got was sent by me. I needed to split you three up and you are the easiest to manipulate. Having a wife and a unborn child was your biggest downfall."

Sperk gripped his weapon, "WAS!"

"I have sped up the birthing process. I will use your son to help me purge this world of vile biologicals."

"Like hell you will!" Sperk lunged at him, but Purge waved his free hand and Sperk was sent flying out of the window. Sperk hit the pavement hard.

Purge teleported to the ground, "Your dependence on chaos powers is your next biggest weakness." Sperk readied his sword and attacked again. Purge raised his left hand up and Sperk floated up, "Combined your chaos powers could resist me, but alone!" Purge swung his hand down and Sperk was sent flying into a car. The impact dented the car and Sperk fell to the ground. The bot pointed at the car and a single blast of energy shot from it and hit the car. The car exploded. Purge scanned the wreckage, "Target Deleted!" Purge turned away.

Sperk walked away from the wreckage, "Hey ugly!" His body was scorched and only could keep his left eye open, "Stay away from my wife!"

Purge chuckled, "Persistence! A machine like quality." He turned back toward the hedgehog, "But you aren't a machine! Almost a pity!" He held up his right fist, "DIE!" A huge violet beam shot from the fist. Sperk couldn't move. He just tried to slice into it with his sword. The beam enveloped Sperk and destroyed the building that was behind him. Purge laughed, "Now there is nothing to stand against my power."

Shadow fell out of his chair as small bolts of energy shot around his head. Sonic hit the autopilot and ran to him, "Shadow!"

The black hedgehog coughed and blinked a few times, "Something is happening!" Sonic helped him to his chair. Shadow rubbed his head, "I feel...I feel!" Shadow slammed his fist down, "A force! An ancient force." Shadow stood up, "We need to go to The Island of Time!"

"Why?"

"The answer to all of this is there. In the past, present, and future!"

"What about Sperk?"

Shadow leaned back, "If I am right, he will meet his fate. We will have the chance to save him again in the past."

Sonic shook his head, "We have to try!"

"Purge will kill us! We need to find a way to match his power of chaos!" Shadow head sparked again, "We must hurry!" Sonic nodded and changed course!

Purge teleported back to Leda's apartment, "It will be any minute now. Soon the child will be mine."

"PURGE!"

"Imposable!" Purge turned to look outside, but there was nothing there, "Are my sensors malfunctioning?" He turned around and Sperk was standing in-between him and the sleeping echidna, "How can you be alive?"

Sperk held up The Sword of Chaos. It was glowing with crimson power, "I've been dead for along time." Sperk held it up, "And it is time for you to realize that! Strike me down a thousand times and I will rise every time." Sperk swung the sword and a crimson wave of energy lashed out and slammed Purge out of the apartment. The wave also demolished the entire side of the room. Sperk jumped out of the room and was surrounded by crimson light. Ancient style armor formed around him as he landed.

"That is samurai armor!" Purge stood up. A large burn mark was across his metal chest, "What are you? I sense no life energy, but you live." Purge held his hand out and it glowed violet. Sperk didn't budge, "Your power! It isn't chaos!"

"It is! It is yours!"

"What?"

Sperk smiled, "I know everything now!" His sword started to pulse.

The gem in Purge's chest started to pulse with it, "My Emerald of Darkness!"

"That emerald in your chest is mine! It is the true from of my sword!"

"WHAT?" Purge clenched his fist and a focused beam shot from it. The beam blasted through Sperk's chest. A hole was where his heart was, but Sperk stood. Purge backed away, "What are you?"

Energy shot around Sperk and the wound and armor healed up, "You can't kill me! You can't kill what is dead!" Sperk started to walk forward, "Your power is my power. Your soul belongs to me." Sperk pointed his sword at him, "I have no soul! So I will take yours." Sperk rushed at him.

Purge brought both of his hands up and fired twin beams of energy. The right one blasted Sperk's left arm off, but the other missed his right and Sperk plunged the sword into Purge's chest. The blade just missed the emerald by half and inch. Purge grabbed Sperk and pulled him off. He tossed him aside and ripped the sword free. It sparked with crimson energy and Purge had to drop it. The sword glided across the ground and Sperk picked it up. He stood up. No blood dripped from his wound. Purge backed away, "What manner of creature are you?"

Sperk smiled, "A dead one!" He bent down to attack, but then stopped, 'Leda! Her life force is fading!' Sperk slammed the tip of his sword into the ground, "Be gone!" Crimson lighting ripped through the ground and exploded around Purge.

Purge roared, "This is far from over!" Purge vanished in a burst of violet light.

Sperk left his sword in the ground and teleported back to the apartment. Leda was breathing heavily. Energy sparked from the stump of his arm and a new one bursted from it. He dropped to one knee, "Leda! You can't die. Not yet!" Sperk pushed himself to his feet and placed both of his hands on her chest, "Your heartbeat is weak. Your body has been drained." Sperk yelled out as green energy shot from his hands and into her body. Leda slowly opened her eyes, "Leda!"

"Speed!" Her voice was weak, "What happened?"

"That bastard sped up your pregnancy. You would have died, but my life force kept you alive long enough for me to save you."

"I don't understand."

Sperk closed his eyes, "This body is no more than a corpse held together by chaos energy. You have carried my soul since Bojack killed me a year ago!" Leda tried to speak, but couldn't. Sperk turned away from her, "As long as you live, I cannot die! But I cannot live either. I am trapped between life and death." He smiled, "Luckily our son will be fine. My soul and your strong heart will insure that."

"Why did you do this?"

"I left you alone to often! I vowed never to leave you again. Don't be sad, because of this, I can fight to my hearts content. I will be with you until the end. Not in body, but in spirit." He walked over to Leda, "I will protect you until your time."

"Speed!" Leda passed out.

Sperk turned toward the hole in the wall, "I may have dammed my soul, but I will be with you. For as long as you live."

Sonic landed The Hunter and Shadow ran out, "Can you explain this?"

Shadow stopped and turned toward Sonic, "The answers to all this lies in the past. The questions lies in the future. Only by searching the two, will we be able to save our present."
