(Sunset Shimmer P.O.V)
Rage, Flash and I are in the middle of trying to save our friends and now I am curious why Rage has all of these enemies at his age! Nix? Nazo? Scourge? Mephilies? Dr. Robotnik or Dr. Eggman too I guess? What has he been doing his whole life? All we know is he Sonic and Shadow come from another world and have special powers much like how the girls and I have magic thanks to Princess Twilight. Oh well at this point it will have to wait!
(3rd person P.O.V)
"Scourge you let my friends go!" Rage yells
"Oh what?" he chuckles "You can't stop all of us at once!"
"He doesn't have to!" Sunset says "Flash and I will stand beside him."
"Yeah!" Flash says
"Guys…" Rage says "Free the others. I can handle these clowns!"
"Oh really?" Nix asks
"You seem so sure of yourself." Mephilies smirks
"Watch me." Rage says before he vanishes and appears behind Scourge kicking him in the back as hard as he could. A 'crack' was heard as Scourge fell down…his back was broken. With scourge out of the way only two more remained. 'Mephiles…' Rage thought ''take him out next, Nix will be the hardest to take down…' Rage then leaps for Mephilies who like Scourge didn't put up much of a fight. Then Nix hits Rage from behind.
"Gee looks like those two were good for nothing…" he says "Oh well guess that means I am going to have to kill you."
"In your dreams…" Rage growls glowing as he forces Nix off.
"Well then let's see how well you can fight like that!" Nix laughs forming a sword out of dark energy.
"It can't be…" Rage says "that's a…"
"Blade of Chaos!" Nix laughs "That's right…"
"Right…" Rage says summoning his own "Burn…Bueijingukaosu!" he calls as the sword transforms making Sunset and Flash, the only two who could see what was happening look in amazement at the swords form. "Ryuu Bureijingukaosu!" he yells
"Exalt… Dāku sakibure!" Nix laughs as his blade radiates a dark energy and he leaps at Rage who blocks the attack. The two start to battle both barely landing any hits on the other. Sunset and Flash watched as sparks flew. This went on for what seemed like forever until Nix grabs Rage's sword and points a finger at him "Dākubīmu" he says as a beam of dark energy pierces Rage in the chest and he stands there shocked.
"What happened?" Rage thinks "He suddenly got faster and I couldn't see him… no…that's impossible."
"I see you are wondering what happened just now?"
"RAGE!" Sunset yells running up and getting between the two and pushing Nix away "Rage!" she sobs.
"you stupid girl!" Nix yells grabbing her
"Put her down…" Rage says in pain "she has…" he pauses and coughs up blood "Nothing to do with this!" he stands up right again and leaps for Nix 'I have to win.' Rage thinks he slices for Nix and hits him with the tip of his blade. Rage then takes a second and heals himself before looking back at Nix who throws Sunset into a wall.
"Even still you fight…I am impressed I thought you were weaker than that." Nix smiles "But it will make killing you just that much more enjoyable."
"I am not going to let you win Nix!" Rage growls "I came to save my friends and I am not going to settle for anything less!" he yells running again as they clash blades again
"You are slow!" Nix says hitting Rage again this time he was unable to get up. "Look at you now…you are only human though your soul is not broken nor is your will you can feel it huh? Your body is dying and soon you will join with your predecessors. You have done many things here more then I thought you could do as a human but…your human body has a limit far lower than you do on Mobius you have reached that limit." Nix says as he raises his sword "This is the end Rage Chaotic."
'Come on…' Rage thinks 'I won't be able to save the others if I can't win…I can't move…move! I have to move!' he screams in his head. Suddenly he felt something…he was losing control of his body… "I told you…" a voice comes from Rage one that was not his own… "You are pathetic Rage!" it laughs as Rage is surrounded in a dark energy and his hair turns black, his eyes amber. He then grabs Nix's sword and stabs him with it.
"What…?" Nix coughs "What is this…who are you? What are you?!"
"I have no name…" the voice says in an insane voice "Now what I am is another story…I am all of that negative power of Rage has stored up…all of his primal instinct and desires! I am what his all of his family should be," it smiles
"So…you're what he should be?" Nix asks
"Yet look at him…he fights it. His friends wouldn't love him for what he really is…a monster!" it laughs "Now then…I am going to make you…
"Disappear!" Rage's voice calls "this is my fight!" it echoes as he returns to normal panting "Sorry…"" he says "That was an unfortunate intrusion where were we?" he asks
"What was that?" Nix asks
"Dunno." Rage says "but I am still going to defeat you."
"This is insane he is only human but that power…he refuses it!?" Nix thinks "But as that human form he should desire power and all the other instincts of a human so why is it he resisted?! It doesn't make any sense?!" Nix yells out loud this time. "All humans no all hearts, all beings are born in darkness and all so end!" he yells "You should be no different! Yet…you have none…no Darkness not in your heart…your mind… or your soul how is that possible?! No darkness even with negativity inside of you?"
"I have answered that one before somewhere…" Rage says thinking back Christain once asked him that but no…that was when Nix had control of him…using Christain like a parasite. Then he remembered something Christain had told him…
"Hay Rage if you ever see that son of a bitch Nix again be sure to do something for me." Christain says
"What is that?" Rage asks replacing his other inhibitor ring
"Give him a few punches for me." Christain smiles and Rage give him a thumbs up
"Alright you be careful now." He says before returning home with Chaos Control
"That's right…Christain asked me that once. Rage says
"And?" Nix asks
"I…don't know to be honest." Rage adds "Also he wants me to give you something for him"
"What would that inferior pest want to give to me? Why should I even take it?" Nix asks
"Because…" Rage smirks "You have no choice!" he yells leaping at Nix and punches him over and over again before ending with a powerful side kick.
"I can't believe this….you are still fighting! You can't still have energy left in that form! You are human, weak! Humans are corrupt always desiring more and more power and you want to deny it? The instinct of battle? How can you do that? Huh! Tell me!"
"I see…" Rage sighs "You don't understand it at all…" he looks at the dark man "Look Nix not all humans are that way. Some are more interested in friendship and unity. I thought the same thing after the way the humans on Mobius were… Anyway not all of them are like that." He says "My friends are all the exact opposite they live with each other and support them…they have proven that wrong." Rage then walks up and stabs Nix "You do not understand nor could you understand…that is why I am finished with you…Your mind is closed and your heart black with anger, hate and darkness this is the end!"
"No…" Nix says as he fades into darkness "This is only the beginning…" his voice echoes as Rage dismissed his sword and Sunset runs over hugging him tightly
"You did it!" she cheers
"I know…" he says looking at the other girls as they walk over and free them
"Thank you Rage." Twilight says "I was reading and then the next thing I knew…I woke up here."
"I was on my way home from the vacation when Mephilies abducted me!" Rebecca whimpers "He did horrible things to me…and the girls."
"Which is why I will never forgive them." Rage says "You guys free Sonic and Shadow I still have two more to deal with…" he finishes looking at Mephiles and Scourge who were just getting up.
"This isn't over!" Scourge yells "We can still-" he then is hit by a rock from Sunset as she runs over to him and grabs him by the hair bashing his face into the ground.
"Shut up!" she says kicking him across the room
"Ugh…Guess I have to do everything." Mephilies says aiming a beam at Sunset and firing it.
"Sunset look out!" Flash says running over as Rage does so to. Flash got there just before hand and pushes Sunset out of the way and the beam hits him in the shoulder.
"Flash!" she yells as Rage stops
"no…" he mouths as Sonic, now unbound grabs him before he falls over
"I got him!" he says "You guys finish things up here!"
"Got it." Rage says readying to fight Mephiles but then a Chaos Spear hits him and Shadow hits Mephilies down
"You are going to pay for what you did to Rebecca!" he yells glowing with energy
"Oh shit…" Rage says as he grabs all of the girls all while Shadow glowed brighter and brighter "Chaos Barricade!" Rage yells at the same time Shadow screamed "CHAOS BLAST!" With that a large red destructive force consumed the area making everything red for a while for Rage and the girls. When it dies Shadow stood on a severely burned Mephilies panting. Rage puts the shield down that he had made and Rebecca runs over to Shadow hugging him
"Thank you!" she exclaims "It's over now though."
"Come on guys…let's go home.
[The next day.]
"Rage can I ask you something?" Sunset asks as she sat in the music room with him
"What?" he replies
"Why do you have so many enemies what happened back on Mobius?" she asks
"Well I guess I do owe you that being your boyfriend and all…no secrets.." Rage inhales to begin his tale
Truth is really it began before I was even born but I was part of some prophecy given by the God Chaos. I was born millions of years later but… my parents died when I was 3 and I was adopted with my brothers. Life was simple after that until my 10th birthday when my adoption parents were killed by the same man and my brother abducted then I began my duty as Chaos Guardian. Since then all three of those guys who you saw last night have become my enemies… the won't leave me alone they want me dead.
"Well you saved everyone and that was amazing!" she says kissing him before they hear an "Ahem" and look to see Applejack in the doorway.
"oops…" Sunset says as the two blush
"Whatever." Applejack says "I have something for you Rage." She says tossing him the book Twilight gave him "I found it rumbling and making noise."
"Twilight wrote back!" Rage says opening it
Dear Rage,
I am glad to hear everything is okay now. It's nice to be able to talk to you and the girls still. I just heard that my brother and his wife Princess Cadence are having a baby! I am so excited I hope maybe you could come to Equestria sometime? I think Princess Celestia wouldn't mind when I told her about where you come from she seemed as if she knew about Mobius for some reason anyway write back soon!
Your friend,
Princess Twilight
"Wow!" Sunset says in surprise "She invited you to Equestria! That's quite the honor Rage." Sunset says "Are you going to go?"
"I think so…" Rage answers
"Awesome you are going to love it there!" Sunset smiles
"You'll tell us all about it won't ya Rage?" Applejack asks
"You bet I will!" Rage smiles
"I wonder what your pony form will look like…" Sunset says thinking "A Unicorn? Earth Pony? Pegasus? You know what would be cool?" she asks
"What?" Rage answers
"If you were an Alicorn." She answers
"And Ali what now?" Rage asks
"An Alicorn, part Pegasus and part Unicorn they are really interesting and so far only four exist and they are the four Princess, Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Twilight." Sunset explains
"Well I guess we'll see then?" Rage says rubbing the back of his head 'oh brother…' he thinks
