It's time for the chao to meet the Black Arms!

Chapter 2: Black Doom.

When the chao arrived at Westopolis, they were horrified at the sight. The city was in ruins. The pavement was torn up in places where lasers struck.

" Are we too late?" Flash asked as he gazed at a burning building. Scribbles' ears perked up at the sound of coughing.

' Guys! There's somebody in the building!' the mute chao wrote. Ghost and Flash dashed inside the flaming building. Once inside, the chao found a little girl trapped in a closet.

" Are you okay?" Ghost asked. The girl nodded.

" My teddy! Where's my teddy?" the girl started to cry. Flash found a half-burned teddy bear on the floor and picked it up while helping Ghost to get the girl out. It was then that the ceiling fell. Ghost whipped out his gun and shot a big hole in the roof.

" How're you holding out?" Ghost asked Flash.

" Fine, we need to get out of here now!" the sonic chao replied. Outside, Scribbles got the attention of some soldiers. They stood around the building, waiting for the chao to emerge. The second story wall was blown open thanks to the Froaster and the heroes along with the girl jumped. Ghost shot at the ground to slow their decent. The soldiers took the girl out of the city.

" Where are you taking her?" Flash asked a soldier.

" We'll take her to the Station Square Hospital." The trooper replied. Flash nodded as he went back to his pals.

" How did you know that you could do that?" The sonic chao questioned Ghost.

" I didn't…" the pale chao replied astonished.

" You put our lives on the line for a 'might'?" Flash yelled. Suddenly, Black creatures emerged from out of nowhere. These monstrosities with surrounded team Chao with no way out.

' What do they want from us?' Scribbles wrote.

" They sense the seven Chaos Emeralds in your weapon…" a voice said as the leader of the aliens rose out of the ground. He floated above the ground with strange chains dangling from his outfit.

" Who are you?" Ghost growled.

" I am called Black Doom. I lead the Black Arms on this crusade." Black Doom said. Shadow suddenly leaped into the fray with two machine guns. He unloaded them into the crowd, locked in another clip, and continued firing. Black Doom saw this as a good time to flee.

Back at Eggman's lab, the mad doctor stood before three chao robots.

" You are Team Metal Chao! Awaken, Wraith!" Eggman yelled as he activated the bot that looked like Ghost. He then walked to the one that looked like Flash.

" Awaken, Abyss!"

" Awaken, Scrawl!" the doctor said to a bot that looked like Scribbles. The red eyes fazed into view with all three.

" What is your objective?" Eggman asked his latest creations.

" Locate power source in Neutral Garden." Wraith stated.

' Take life forms Spirit and Rocky.' Scrawl wrote on an etch-a-sketch.

" Destroy chao at Little Planet." Abyss finished as they activated their jet thrusters and took off.
