Trez starts his plans! First stop, feudal Japan!
Chapter 5: Feudal Chaos!
Ghost was out cold thanks to Trez and his chaos attack. That and the fact that hyper mode sort of took it out of him. He faintly smelt jerky. The scent of the salted meat snack slowly brought him back to consciousness. When he awoke, he was in the hospital looking at Amy's face waving the strip of jerky. Ghost started to scream, stopped halfway to snatch the jerky, and continued screaming. It was then that he really woke up in the neutral garden to the sight of Spic waving the jerky.
" He's awake!" She yelled as Ghost sat up and took the jerky.
" How long have I been out? Why aren't we at ARK? WHERE THE HECK IS TREZ!" Ghost asked panicked.
" You were out for about five days. Trez sealed the entrance to the Time Garden. Trez is in the TG." Flash answered.
" Why didn't you use the Froaster to blow the door open?" Ghost wondered.
" About that…he stole the Emeralds! I'm sorry! I would've tried to stop him! Whaaa!" Spic cried. A white hand brushed her tears aside.
" It's not your fault… It's mine. I was too weak to stop him. We can't beat him…" Ghost said as he started out of the garden. Scribbles nailed him with a rock to get his attention.
' Who are you?' the mute chao asked.
" I'm Ghost." Ghost replied.
' No you're not. The Ghost I know wouldn't just walk away after one cheap shot.' Scribbles wrote.
" If it weren't for you, I would never have seen Flame again." Flash said as he took the hand of his wife.
" Maria would still be but a memory if you wouldn't have helped me." Shadow reminded.
" Don't you get it? Trez won, we lost. IT'S OVER!" Ghost yelled. Shadow backhanded him across the face.
" Get a hold of yourself!" Shadow yelled.
" You decide if you want to roll with us or not. Either way, we won't hold it against you." Flash stated. Ghost looked at them and walked off.
"…Ghost?" Spic sobbed. Techno stormed back into the shelter as Espio secretly watched this scene from the bushes.
" So, this is how I use the time warp? I just need to type in the era and the location." Trez wondered in the Time Garden. It was just a stone platform floating in an infinite void.
" I need to go to feudal Japan to get the Shikon No Tama." The evil chao chuckled as he opened the warp and hopped in. He appeared on a bridge over a river when a group of travelers appeared in the distance. A girl on a bicycle rode behind a monk carrying a staff and a woman about her age with a huge boomerang strapped on her back. Leading this party was a man with silver hair and a red kimono. A pair of pointed ears rested on his head. A closer look at the girl revealed a necklace with a gem that shone brightly with a great power.
" There it is…the Shikon Jewel!" Trez smiled. When the party reached the bridge, they saw a wounded gray chao lying next to a skull crying. The dog boy went to kick him aside.
" Inuyasha! Sit!" The girl yelled as Inuyasha hit the ground hard.
" Curse…you…Kagome!" Inuyasha grunted. Kagome picked up Trez and hugged him. The evil chao saw his opportunity and snatched the necklace from her.
" Hey! Give that back!" A little fox demon kid yelled as he hopped out of the bike basket. Trez set his tail on fire. The monk removed the cloth from his one hand and unleashed a vacuum of wind to try and suck Trez in. The evil chao took Kagome's head and pushed it into the wind. Inuyasha began to get up when Trez repeatedly yelled sit. When he was done, Dog boy was in a crated a few feet deep. The boomerang girl tried to throw the boomerang at Trez when he Chaos Nightmared it back to her. A priestess with long black hair saw this spectacle and took aim at Trez when she noticed the smoke coming from her clothing as a Chaos Emerald in Trez's hand glowed bright red. Suddenly, the edges were set ablaze from this attack.
" One item of power in my grasp." Trez sneered as he jumped back into his time warp.
Meanwhile, in the present, Ghost was at Club Rouge drinking a mug of soda while thinking about what the rest of the gang had said.
" Ghost, I knew your father." Espio said as he sat on the stool next to him.
" What was he like?" the pale chao asked.
" He was the legendary Phantom Chao. The strongest chao in my dojo. He fell in love with a girl named Spectra and got married. He died trying to protect her from Trez. He gave this to me before that night. He told me to give it to you when the time was right. Right now, I can't think of a better time." The ninja continued as he slid a package to Ghost. When he opened it, a sword was inside along with some shruiken.
" This was your father's sword, the dragon fang. It has the power to turn the tide in any fight. It gathers power the longer the fight and gives it to the owner." Espio explained. Ghost looked at the blade for what seems like an hour and sheathed it.
" It's time to kick some butt!" Ghost yelled and dashed out, ready to fight Trez to the last breath.
It's time for Techno to figure out how to get the time warps working. Review!
