It's almost time for the final showdown. I've got a nice surprise for you guys! Oh, and Random Chao… I made Peach a girl if that's cool.

Chapter 11: Return to ARK

' How did Trez know where we were?' Scribbles wrote while Ghost sat. He then remembered the Master Emerald.

" He used a Chaos Emerald to find the Master Emerald in the Froaster." Ghost muttered. Spic noticed her friend like that and went to comfort him.

" I-I'm sorry about what happened to your parents…" Spic said. Techno looked up from his laptop.

" There's only one more item that Trez needs. The Master Chaos Drive." The violet inventor said.

" Where's that?" Flash asked.

" It's back on the ARK." Techno replied. Ghost silently rose.

" Let's go…" he ordered as they ripped open a time warp. Meanwhile, on ARK Trez stepped into the room where the MCD sat. When he went to pick it up when an orange fist stopped him.

" Thief! Get away from the Master Chaos Drive, or you shall feel the wrath of Peach!" Peach yelled as she stepped into view. She wore a pendant with a green gem. A red chao followed her.

" Yeah! And don't forget Red, too!" The red chao added.

" Oh, I'm not trying to take it… I came to warn you about a group of chao that are trying to steal it from you. Their leader is a white chao called Ghost." Trez lied.

" Thanks for the heads up. How would you know about them?" Peach asked.

" I've been trying to stop them from collecting the items." Trez continued. It was then that Ghost and company dropped into the space colony.

" Keep your eyes peeled. No telling where Trez is at or what he's planning." Ghost said. Flash, Scribbles, Flame, Spic, and Span all nodded at their partner and charged to the room. Ghost shot the door down with his trusted gun, looked inside, and motioned for the others to enter.

" There! There it is! We beat Trez to it!" Flash whooped as he ran past a pile of pipes to get to the item. Ghost pulled him back as a kunai whizzed past Flash's face. Peach stepped into view.

" You are Ghost, are you not?" Peach asked.

" What's it to you?" Ghost replied as he unsheathed the Dragon Fang.

" We won't allow thieves like you to steal the Master Chaos Drive!" Red yelled as he tried to punch the pale chao. A poster board sign blocked his blow.

" Scribbs! These guys won't listen to reason! We need to fight them…" Ghost said. Scribbles nodded and began to fight Red while Peach picked up a sword of her own and rushed at Ghost. Scribbles picked up a pipe, twirled it like a pro, posed and motioned for Red to attack.

" You cocky little punk! I'm going to kill you!" the crimson chao growled as he picked up another pipe. Peach was matching Ghost, blow by blow.

" This is all a misunderstanding!" Ghost said as he dodged a slash.

" A misunderstanding? Right, I'm sure that the nice chao with a skull on his head would lie to us. You thieves are all alike, you lie through your teeth!" Peach shouted as she blocked a strike by Ghost.

" What? That chao is the bad guy! He's trying to use you to get to the Drive!" Ghost yelled back, still trying to talk some sense into his adversary.

" Lies!" Peach growled.

" I guess that talking won't help. Fine, if you want a fight, you've got one!" Ghost roared as he head butted Peach, causing her to fall. Red was getting beaten by Scribbles.

" How can you be so silent?" Red asked. Scribbles was silent since he dropped his marker. He dropped his pipe and sat down.

" Hey! We're still fighting here!" Red yelled. About this time Ghost held out his hand to help Peach up. She took his hand and kicked his legs out from under him. She didn't notice Trez behind her with a pipe. He hit Peach in the back of the head and took Red down as well.

" Hear me, Ghost! If you want the items back, you and your pals must fight me on the Radiant Emerald! I will wait for you!" Trez yelled as he tore open a warp. The hole remained.

" Uhh…Trez. Listen, Ghost take this pendant with you. It shall protect you all. We're counting on you and your friends." Peach said as she slipped her pendant around Ghost's neck.

" We'll get it back. Count on it! You ready guys?" Ghost asked his teammates.

" Yeah!" Flash exclaimed.

' We're with you till the end!' Scribbles wrote.

" We'll help." Flame confirmed as she looked at her two friends.

" We've come this far. No backing down now!" Span yelled.

" I'll follow you forever, Ghost." Spic whispered. Ghost nodded as they all leapt into the portal.

The fight is starting! Review for the fight of the century!
