It's time for an epic struggle!
Chapter 9: The Race.
Sonic stepped out of the shadows followed by Tails and Knuckles. All three were fully healed.
" Hey, you're standing… Not used to that!" Flash taunted. Knuckles started to charge at the chao, but was stopped by Sonic.
" Up that chain is Little Planet. Let's race to the top! If you win, we'll back off. If we win, you shine our shoes afterwards for a year!" Sonic smirked.
" How about if we win, you have to take Amy out on a date, call Shadow a wuss, and kiss Big…" Ghost said with a devilish smile. The white chao and Sonic shook hands. The two teams stood at the base of the massive chain. An Omochao suddenly appeared out of nowhere and shot a flare into the sky. Flash immediately zapped his legs with lightning and pulled ahead. Scribbles hopped on his snowboard and shot ice ahead of him while Ghost strapped the Froaster on his back and used it to propel his skateboard. Scribbles froze Tails' feet to the ground while Ghost tripped Knuckles.
" Cheater!" Knuckles roared.
' It's a legitimate strategy!' Scribbles wrote as he sped away. Knuckles then broke the ice around the little kitsune's legs and took off towards the chao. Sonic smiled while charging energy into his left hand.
" I'm not done with you yet! SONIC WIND!" the hedgehog yelled as he unleashed a twister at the tiny trio. It struck them and allowed Sonic to blow past them. Ghost used the Emeralds to go super and raced to win. Sonic turned super and proceeded to speed along the chain. The racers were above the deep lake and halfway there when Scribbles iced a chain link causing Tails and Knuckles to fall into the lake. Ghost shoved Super Sonic off the chain. Once he landed, Flash summoned some lightning to fry the lake.
" Maybe we were too rough on them…" Ghost said.
" Nah… They were in our way." Flash huffed.
' Let's hurry! We have about four hours left!' Scribbles wrote as the gang set foot on Little Planet. Trez was waiting for them, ready for a brawl.
" Good, you made it… Now we must fight!" Trez cackled.
" We ain't got the time! We have four hours before my kids get killed!" Ghost yelled. Trez summoned his dark blade and charged at the white chao.
" Trez! I'll ask you again… What drives you? Why do you fight? Who do you have to protect?" Ghost asked while he fought. The son of Phantom grabbed Trez and threw him into the ground. The trio then ran off. Trez sat there, thinking about Erin.
" Erin!" Trez screamed as he ran to his friend who lay in an alley. She was shot and was fading fast.
" Trez…I'm sorry. Promise me that you will show the world the same courage that you showed me. Bring hope to the world…" Erin gasped.
" Don't leave me! Please don't go!" Trez cried.
" Farewell, Trez…"
" ERIN!"
It was then that Trez rose.
" All this time, I've been going against Erin's wishes. She trusted me to help the world… But my soul was consumed by darkness that night. I swore to get revenge for her, but it never brought me joy…" Trez said to himself.
Sorry about the length! Review!
