Team Chaos
Chapter 9: Cradle to the Grave
Chris, Lex, and Pyra were riding the elevator up to the antenna cradle. Everyone was armed with their weapons and were waiting for the doors to open. Chris opened his communicator and noticed that he had a signal again. Chris contacted the team that was hovering nearby and waiting for their next orders.
"Team Chaos, come in."
"Yoshi here. What's your status Chris?"
"I am in the elevator and heading up to the cradle. Eggman is dead however. My mission now is to also eliminate Project 9. I also have a couple of people with me. I found them in a cell on the way through the caverns. Their names are Lex and Pyra."
"Eggman's dead? Project 9? Lex? Pyra? What's going on?"
"Wait a minute! Did you say Lex and Pyra Chris?"
"That is correct Tails."
"Can I see them on screen?"
Chris brought the communicator over to Lex and Pyra. Tails was able to see the two on screen in his Arwing.
"Lex! Pyra! It's me Tails!"
"Hey Tails! I haven't seen you in ages! How have you been doing?"
"I have doing very well Lex! How have you and Pyra been?"
"We've seen better days. However, we are ok."
"Ok guys, we need to get back to business. Yoshi, you may attack the enemy aircraft! Get over here and get rid of them! Make sure that you don't hit the antenna cradle. We can't risk the success of this operation at all."
"Roger that Chris! Team Chaos, let's go!"
The team's Arwings' engines boosted them towards the combat area. They immediately began to engage the enemy aircraft. Meanwhile, Chris, Lex, and Pyra took notice of what they saw. They noticed that the Arwings just passed by as the formation broke to attack the enemy aircraft. The antenna cradle was massive in size and seemed to be more like a base in the sky. The cradle was being supported by several towers around the outer regions of the base. The walkway connected with all of the towers and it also connected to the central operations area. The sky was gray and it looked like a storm was on the way.
"Impressive…I did not expect it to be this large in size."
WARNING! TEN MINUTES UNTIL THE ANTENNA CRADLE ACTIVATES THE ECLIPSE CANNON!
"The only way we can stop this is to disable to antenna's main computer. We better get on it guys!"
The three ran down the walkway as three soldiers were firing at them. Chris activated a temporary Chaos Shield to reflect the gunfire. Chris took out one guard with his rifle as Lex and Pyra killed the other two with their weapons. Chris threw a grenade at the spot where a couple of soldiers were approaching the area. The grenade exploded and the two guards flew off of the antenna cradle. The grenade left a hole in the floor though.
"We better be careful with these explosives. Otherwise we will end up falling off of this ourselves."
They got to the end of the of the walkway and Chris pulled out a pair of binoculars. He looked over the central operations area. The first floor was where all of the major activity seemed to be going on. There was a barracks, four guard towers, an armory, the computer building, and a communications building. The second floor had nothing but empty space and the dish that would send the signal to the Space Colony ARK. Chris took notice of the guards in the tower and an idea struck him.
"Hey Lex. Why don't use that sniper rifle of yours and take out those guards in the towers. That will make things easier in getting on that central operations area."
Lex pulled out his sniper rifle and aimed at the first guard. He shot the guard in the head with one shot. The guard's body fell out of the tower and onto the ground. Lex eliminated the other guards with just one shot each. Lex placed his sniper rifle back onto his back and rearmed his pistol. The three started down the path towards the central operations area as the team's Arwings flew over them as they continued to eliminate the enemy aircraft. Lasers were everywhere as many barely missed the cradle. After a few moments, they were able to get to the central part of the operations area. However, there were no guards in the area and that made Chris feel very uneasy.
"I don't like this…"
Then the three were surrounded by soldiers that appeared out of nowhere. The soldiers were wearing cloaking devices and had their guns pointed at them. A voice came on as it was heard over the entire base.
"Hahahahaha! I have been waiting Chris! Behold the final day for you and this world! I would kill you myself, but I have a world to conquer! My men will properly dispose of you! Kill him!"
Before the guards were able to fire at them, Chris and Pyra already knocked out several guards. Pyra pulled out her knife and stabbed a guard. She pulled out the knife and continued to eliminate the guards. Lex took out several guards with his pistol. Chris was using his sword to eliminate multiple guards at a time. Pyra slashed another guard's neck and threw him into two other guards. A guard came behind her and she threw him over her and stabbed him in the chest. More guards kept coming and the three went behind a building for cover. Chris produced a temporary shield over Lex and Pyra and vanished into thin air.
"Get him men!"
They went around to where three was, but they noticed that Chris wasn't with Lex and Pyra. They started firing at Lex and Pyra but the shield was protecting them as they fired back and killed several soldiers. The guards retreated away from them and wondered where Chris was.
"What! Where did he go!"
"How!"
"Don't just stand their gawking! Find him!"
The guards started walking around. They noticed something glowing and all the guards besides their leader walked over to it. Chris then appeared and the guards instantly started to fire at him. All of the bullets reflected off of him though. Chris had a red aura around his body and it was growing brighter.
"Why aren't our bullets doing anything!"
"Chaos…Blast!"
The aura went within Chris and then came out with exploding force. The explosion sent all of the nearby guards flying off the cradle. The commander walked towards Chris with hatred in his eyes.
"You may have beaten my squad, but you can't beat me!"
The commander was firing a laser at Chris, but he reflected each shot his sword. A light blue aura surrounded Chris' body. The aura started to grow stronger.
"What are you up to now?"
"You'll see…"
The aura grew bright and Chris absorbed it within himself.
"Chaos…Blizzard!"
A blizzard came around the commander. Chris attacked using snow, ice, and strong, cold winds. In a matter of moments the commander was encased and frozen into a block of ice. Chris' sword then had a fire aura around it. Chris charged the sword and it became a sword of the flames of fire. He held the sword behind him as it charged energy. When it was charged, he unleashed one mighty swing of the sword and the fire came out of it in the form of a phoenix. The phoenix headed straight for the captured commander. The phoenix went straight through him and when it passed through, the commander was instantly gone. Chris walked to where he was and saw nothing but a puddle of water where the commander was. He called Lex and Pyra over as another message was heard.
WARNING! ONE MINUTE UNTIL ECLIPSE CANNON IS ACTIVATED!
"We better get to the computer now!"
They ran to the computer building and went inside. There was a door that required a security code to get in. Chris pulled out a decriptor and started to crack the code while Lex and Pyra waited outside.
"Come on…4...2...3...5..8..1...0...3...8!"
SECURITY CODE ACCEPTED. ACCESS GRANTED.
The doors opened and there was a large computer in it. He walked over and pulled out his Chaos Rifle. He then got a container filled with orange chaos energy and loaded it into the gun. He started to fire at the computer. He was firing several Chaos Spears at the computer. The computer exploded and Chris ran out of the building to hear another message.
WARNING! WARNING! ANTENNA CONTROLS DESTROYED! ECLIPSE CANNON SET TO FIRE ON THIS BASE IN 20 MINUTES! ALL UNITS EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!
As soon as Chris regrouped with Lex and Pyra, it started to rain heavily as lightning was covering the skies. Chris, Lex, and Pyra went upstairs and saw something standing in the open space. They walked towards what was Project 9.
"I've been waiting Chris…"
"Project 9...or should I say Rayoshi."
"Hmmm…how did you know it was me?"
"I can still tell your appearance, even if you're mostly a machine. You still have the skin that I will never forget. Also, those burn marks also came from your fall into the atmosphere. How did you survive the fall to the planet?"
"I just did…that is all that needs to be said. I was found by Eggman's soldiers. They rebuilt me to be the ultimate robot and they succeeded. My new body has given me the strength that I originally did not possess. During that time, I gained the trust of Eggman's troops and I got them to work for me instead of that fool…"
"So, why did you kill Eggman?"
"Simple…he would just be a nuisance in my plans so I had to get rid of him. I am surprised that he lived long enough to tell the tale."
"Even if Eggman was my enemy, I will destroy you for what you have done!"
"Then try me…"
Rayoshi's hands turned into arm cannons and he started firing plasma bolts at Chris. Chris evaded every shot and continued to wait to find the best time to attack. Rayoshi's left hand turned into a rocket launcher and he locked onto Chris. He fired a barrage of 10 homing rockets at Chris. Chris ran and destroyed most the rockets with his sword. There was still one more rocket following Chris. Chris ran towards Rayoshi and jumped over him and continued to run. The rocket damaged Rayoshi and his left arm was gone. Pyra took the opportunity to stab Rayoshi in the remains of his arm to slow him down even more. However, Rayoshi took notice and fired a weak plasma bolt at Pyra. The bolt knocked Pyra back and Lex carried her body to a safe distance. Lex took a look at Pyra and anger filled up inside of him as he charged at Rayoshi. Rayoshi shot Lex with a weak plasma bolt and knocked him back with Pyra. Chris produced a shield to protect them and continued to fight Rayoshi.
"I am not going to fall to the likes of you again!"
Rayoshi turned around and fired his fins at a fast pace. Chris dodged every one of the fins and Rayoshi retracted his right arm and a large energy sword appeared. Chris pulled out his sword as he dodged Rayoshi's swings. The sword clashed for several minutes as the lightning appeared ever time the swords met each other. Rayoshi swung from Chris' leg but Chris jumped over it and sliced Rayoshi's right arm off. Rayoshi was panting as he wasn't going to take much more.
"No…I won't lose!"
Rayoshi' tail extended to a very long length and began to attack Chris with it. He struck Chris with a very hard blow and it sent him into the dish's base. Chris slowly stood back up from the ground as he was wincing with pain from all over his body. He still had a smirk on his face. Chris picked his sword up and prepared for Rayoshi's attack.
"Ha! Is that all you have left!"
Chris ran over to Rayoshi. Rayoshi swiped his tail at Chris, but he jumped over it and thrusted his sword into the top of Rayoshi's head. Rayoshi was motionless until he collapsed onto the ground. Chris pulled the sword out of Rayoshi's head and he saw the small pool of blood that was coming out from Rayoshi's normal self.
Chris ran over to Lex and Pyra, who were both aching with pain. Marks were showing on where they were hit. A gold aura surrounded Chris and after a brief moment, Lex and Pyra felt like new. Lex and Pyra stood back up and looked at Chris, who was still being troubled by the pain in his body.
"Wow, thanks Chris. Are you going to be okay?"
"Yeah...I'll be fine. A little pain never hurt any-Get down and watch out!"
An enemy aircraft was barreling towards the cradle. The ship crashed into the spot where Rayoshi's body was and exploded. Flames and smoke were rising from the wreckage as Chris, Lex, and Pyra stood back up. Chris opened his communicator and contacted Yoshi.
"Yoshi! Get the team out of here! The Eclipse Cannon is going to fire at any moment!"
The Arwings pulled away as Chris got Lex and Pyra together.
"Chaos...Control!"
In a bright flash, they were gone from the antenna cradle and were in a open field. As soon as the Arwings were at a safe distance, a giant laser came and struck the antenna cradle. Fortunately, it was set at a low power. The antenna cradle began to explode and collapse as the laser continued for several more moments. Eventually the entire base collapsed and the laser vanished. Flames and smoke were rising from the ashes as the wind carried them into nothingness. Chris saw it all from the field and spoke with Lex and Pyra.
"His heart was filled with evil and I had no choice. He had to be eliminated for the good of the world. Anyway, Lex, Pyra, that was an outstanding job you did out there. I didn't expect you two to be this good. How would you two feel about joining the team?"
"We would be honored Chris. Maybe we can find a way back home while we are with you."
"Maybe."
The team's Arwings landed nearby and everyone jumped out of their cockpits. Tails and Lex high-fived each other as they were happy to see each other again.
"Long time, no see Lex!"
"Same here!"
"Well everyone, we completed out mission and we have two new team members. I would like to introduce you all to Lex Prower and Pyra Mind. Now, let's go home at let everyone catch up on their business."
Everyone jumped into the Arwings and took off from the field. They flew away from the smoldering wreckage that was the antenna cradle. On the way home, Chris was in deep thought.
"Hopefully Rayoshi's soul will find peace in the afterlife..."
A/N: Wow, this is my longest chapter yet! It took me quite some time to make this! Anyway, if you have a fan character and you request it into the story, I will try to get it in as soon as I can. However, I have the story set in my mind for quite some time. Also, if you want your character to still be a part of the adventure, you can go to my Team Chaos Roleplay forum. It may not be the main story itself but it can be just as good! Read and Review everyone!
