Chapter 3 : More Powerful than Chaos
Eggbase – Off the coast of Angel Island
"MUHAHAHAHA" Eggman laughed, "this is it, this will destroy Sonic in a heart beat."
Eggman stared at a large robotic machine. It had 4 mighty legs, each a shining silver, with jets on the soul of the feet. A large metal frame, used as the body, with a round hole in the middle, for Eggman's hovercraft to be placed. At the end of the body, was a large tail, this tail looked like it belonged to a robot scorpion. It had a point at the end, that gives an electric shock to those who get stabbed by it.
"This is perfect. Sonic has never seen anything like this. He won't have a clue what to do," Eggman said, "But what to call it. Hmm…I know, the Egg-Scorpion!"
"Way to be original," a dark, childlike voice said from behind Eggman.
"What the? Who are you?" Eggman asked, looking around for where the voice came from.
"Who am I? Peh, you're a fool," The voice said, stepping forward. It looked to be a chao. It was a black chao, with big, dragon like wings, flame colored eyes, a pointed devil tail, and a flame pattern on it's chest, "I am Chemon, the most powerful of the Dark Chao."
"What are you doing in my lab? How did you get past my security!" Eggman asked in a raged tone.
"Please, those robots were easier to get passed than a new-born Light Chao," Chemon laughed, "I am here because I heard that you once managed to get Chaos to come out of the Master Emerald, and stop guarding the chao."
"You heard correct, but that plan didn't work. That blasted Hedgehog and his friends foiled it, once again," Eggman told Chemon.
"Well, I was wondering if I could get you to do something similar, for me," Chemon told him.
"Ey?"
"An ancient prophecy claims that there was once a more powerful guardian that Chaos. A guardian over the most evil, of Dark Chao. A guardian that could destroy a whole civilization, with one mighty blow of it's ice breathe," Chemon explained, "But this guardian, was defeated by Chaos, and the Light Chao. But only because it was weakened by the water Perfect Chaos needed to survive. If the guardian would have managed to get in the air a little quicker, it could have won, but alas, it didn't. When the guardian was defeated, Chaos split it's soul into two pieces, and sealed each piece away in a different emerald. One Piece, was locked away with Chaos in the Master Emerald, the other, was sealed in the Master Super Emerald, in a shrine north of Carnival Island. If both parts of the soul are released, the guardian could resort back to it's true form, and destroy not only Chaos and the chao, but the entire world."
"But, why would you want to destroy the chao, you are one, are you not?" Eggman asked.
"The Dark Chao are not associated with the rest of the chao nor Chaos. We are associated with this dark guardian. We would not be harmed," Chemon told him.
"I see. Now, what would be the point of destroying the world? You would be destroyed too," Eggman asked.
"Ah, that's where I come in. If I can convince the dark chao to ask him to not destroy the world, but simply control it, he would listen. We are his biggest weakness," Chemon said devilishly.
"I see," Eggman said, walking towards his machine, "but why would I help you? What would I get out of it?"
"You would work with us, and control the world," Chemon told him.
"I guess I could help…on one condition. You must help me destroy Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends," Eggman exclaimed.
"As long as you help me, I'll do anything," Chemon told him.
"You've got yourself a deal," Eggman said nodding.
"Good. You're first task is to go to the Echidna temple in the Mystic Ruins, there you shall find an inscription on the wall about Chaos, in the corner of that, a small inscription about the other guardian can be found. Figure it out, and report back to me. Then, our plan will begin," Chemon said.
