Breaking the Barriers

Chapter 3: Strange Events


The team was just exiting a dense forest and entering Thorntail Hollow. The sun was beginning to set over the horizon and the sky was colored in a mixture or orange and red. The team was starting to fell a little tired and decided to stop at the hollow for the night and rest. The team went down to the area where Tricky's mother was first held when Dinosaur Planet was under the control of the Sharpclaw. The area was still the same, but at least it did offer protection for the team from the elements. The team sat their stuff on the ground and then pulled out some sleeping bags. They unrolled them and laid them out in various spots around the area.

"Well team, we will rest here for tonight and then make our way to the Ocean Force Point Temple. For now, we shall grab a quick bite to eat and then get some sleep. I would like us to leave as soon as the sun comes over the horizon. Go ahead and get some rest team, you earned it." Chris said as he pulled some fruit from out of his supply bag.

The team pulled out their food and ate it until they were satisfied. When they were finished, the sun had completely vanished and the sky was completely dark. Chris and Tails lit some torches nearby to provide some light. Everyone than got into their sleeping bags except Lex and Pyra whom were both still standing near the entrance.

"Lex, Pyra, are you guys going to bed?" Sonic asked.

"We will, we just want to take a look around for a bit." Lex said.

"Alright, but don't be staying up too long okay?" Chris asked.

"We won't be up long." Pyra said.

"Ok, goodnight guys." Chris said.

"Goodnight Chris." both Lex and Pyra said.

While the team fell asleep, Lex and Pyra left the area to the nearby stream of water that was running in the middle of the hollow. Both Lex and Pyra sat on the edge of the stream and took their shoes off. They dipped their feet into the water. The water was a little cool, but it felt just right for the two.

"Wow, look at all of these creatures." Pyra said as she observed the sleeping Thorntails.

"Yeah, this planet is supposed to be the home of many exotic dinosaurs. I actually did some research on this planet just before we left." Lex said.

"It's kind of sad that we won't be able to see this anymore, isn't it Lex?" Pyra asked.

"Yeah, but we have learned so much in our short stay in this world. We could use these qualities to help protect our world from any evil." Lex said confidentially.

Pyra couldn't help but turn her head face-to-face with Lex after what he said. "Wow...I never thought of it like that Lex. We could actually make a difference in our home. We may be young, but we have already went through so much in last couple of months. I never knew you had so much courage Lex..." Pyra said.

"I never knew that you could be so caring Pyra...I wish I got to know you more sooner." Lex said.

"I wish I did too Lex..." Pyra said.

The two continued to stare into each other's eyes for about a minute before they started to getting closer by instinct. Both embraced each other and then entered a passionate kiss, all done by instinct. They stayed that way for another minute before they released each other. When they both looked into each other's eyes, they both had a heavy blush on their faces.

"Erm...uh...hehe...Maybe we should be getting so sleep." Lex said.

"Yes we should..." Pyra said.

The two took their feet out of the water and placed them back into their shoes. They stood up and began to head back to the area where the rest of the team as sleeping. While their faces were pointed forward, their eyes were still looking at each other and both had a smile on their face.

"Wow...she is incredible..." Lex thought.

"What an amazing guy..." Pyra thought.


Meanwhile...

Tails was tossing and turning in his sleep as he was having strange thoughts enter his mind. Inside his mind he could see the tragic event repeat itself over and over in his head, but each time it went through slightly faster until all Tails could see in his mind was himself standing in the middle of white area. Cosmo appeared from nowhere and looked at Tails.

"Hello Tails." Cosmo said.

"Hello Cosmo..." Tails said.

"Are you okay?" Cosmo asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine...It's just that nothing is the same since that day. The image of me shooting still burns in my mind." Tails said.

"Don't worry Tails...something tells me that we could be reunited very soon." Cosmo stated.

"What? How?" Tails asked.

"I can't say, but continue to believe yourself and it will happen." Cosmo said.

"Please! Tell me!" Tails said with tears in his eyes.

Cosmo vanished and Tails immediately woke up from his dream, completely soaked in his own sweat.

"Me...and her...reunited?" Tails confusingly asked himself.


On a nearby cliff, overlooking the hollow...

Edge was standing on a cliff that overlooked the area that the team was sleeping in with his binoculars. He placed the binoculars in his pack and then opened his communicator. He activated a link with Leon and Leon's face appeared on screen.

"Leon, Edge here. I am planning to go forth and enter the Ocean Force Point Temple. I am currently in Thorntail Hollow and Team Chaos is currently sleeping here. I will get to the temple before they do to get an advantage. This is likely my last communication since I won't be able to stop. I need to get to the core before they do." Edge said.

"Make sure you do. Do whatever it takes to stop that team! I can't have them know that I am alive again and plan on attacking ARK! If you fail, you better hope you get killed, because if you do fail, I will hunt you down and kill you personally! Now, get going!" Leon said as the screen turned off.

As Edge closed his communicator, an idea came to him.

"I got it! The ultimate distraction!" Edge said.

Edge aimed his hand towards the team through the opening of the roof. A faint beam of energy covered the team and went out quickly. Edge smiled evilly and then started proceeding towards Cape Claw.


Lightfoot Village...

"Hehehehe...this place will be a perfect spot." Edge said as he entered the outer region of the village.

Edge walked over to the gate and started to charge energy in his hand. When the energy was full charged, Edge jumped back and clap his hands in the direction of the gate. A large bolt of lightning instantly disintegrated the gate and Edge ran inside. He noticed that the sun was slowly starting to come over horizon.

"I better make this quick..." Edge said to himself.

Edge held his right hand high and a faint beam of energy came out of it. The beam was growing brighter and brighter until Edge closed his hand. He then aimed his hand towards the ground about ten feet away from him. He reopened his hand and a large energy beam came out of it and struck the ground. When the beam vanished, a large puddle of a black liquid was on the ground. The puddle began to shape itself as Edge ran out, laughing maniacally to himself...


The next morning...

The team just started to enter Lightfoot Village and they immediately took note of the destroyed gate. They immediately ran over to the spot where the gate was.

"Where did the gate go?" Tails asked.

Knuckles gave a soft grunt and Sonic turned to him and asked, "What is it Knuckles?"

"I sense the presence of a dark energy. Somebody destroyed this gate, but it was recently done." Knuckles said.

"I sense it as well. We better check it out." Chris said.

The team walked into the village, but as soon as they entered it, a large group of dark figures appeared from out of nowhere. The team was instantly startled by what they saw. It was them, but they were all black or wearing dark clothes. They had the same weapons and looks as the team.

"What the...a dark Team Chaos?" Amy shockingly asked.

"We will destroy you. We will defeat you." Dark Chris said.

The two groups charged at each other to begin the battle.


Sheila and Dark Sheila...

Sheila immediately struck Dark Sheila with an aerial roundhouse kick that sent Dark Sheila back. Dark Sheila rolled to the side and tried to give a sweeping kick, but missed. Sheila gave an uppercut to Dark Sheila's nose that sent her flying back about five feet. Dark Sheila stood back up and wiped the blood coming out of her nose. She ran for Sheila, but Sheila jumper over her and kicked her in the back of the head on the way down. Dark Sheila was knocked to the ground face-first. Sheila took at her .44 magnum and shot Dark Sheila multiple times until Dark Sheila melted into a puddle and disintegrated into the air.


Rayoshi and Dark Rayoshi...

Both were firing their assault rifles at each other and dodging the shots with excellent agility. Rayoshi pulled out a sub-machine gun in his left hand and started firing both weapons at the same time. However, Dark Rayoshi was still able to dodge the shots. Dark Rayoshi threw down his assault rifle and pulled out two 9mm pistols. He fired both of them at the same time, but Rayoshi easily dodged them as he ran towards Dark Rayoshi. He rolled on the ground and then kicked Dark Rayoshi high into the air. Rayoshi jumped back up and aimed his assault rifle upwards towards Dark Rayoshi. He shot him multiple times before he could even land back on the ground and Dark Rayoshi instantly disintegrated in mid-air.


Pyra and Dark Pyra...

Both of them were attacking and guarding against each other's attacks with outstanding agility. Pyra got behind Dark Pyra and stabbed her in the back with her combat knife. Dark Pyra grabbed Pyra and threw her over her shoulders. As Pyra was getting up, Dark Pyra pulled the knife out her back and threw it at Pyra. The knife missed as Pyra was able to catch the knife in mid-air. She through the knife back as it struck Dark Pyra in the middle of her chest. Dark Pyra's body began to disintegrate around the knife until she was completely gone and the knife fell on the ground.


Lex and Dark Lex...

They were both trying to shoot each other with their pistols, but they were able to dodge the shots. Lex used his tail to knock Dark Lex to the ground and then stomped on Dark Lex's stomach. As Dark Lex groaned in pain, Lex reloaded his pistol and aimed towards Dark Lex's head. He fired one shot and it struck Dark Lex in the head.


Amy and Dark Amy...

Amy swung her hammer at an extremely fast speed that knocked Dark Amy several feet back. Dark Amy struggled to get up, but Amy swung her hammer again and this time it sent Dark Amy high into the air. Amy took the opportunity to pull out a sub-machine gun. As Dark Amy came to the ground, Amy kicked her, which sent her flying away several feet. Amy shot Dark Amy as she landed on the ground multiple times. Dark Amy's body disintegrated into nothing but black particles that floated into the air.


Rouge and Dark Rouge...

Both of them were engaged in fierce melee combat as they were using a variety of high speed kicks and punches. Dark Rouge flew into the air as well as did Rouge. Dark Rouge pulled out an assault rifle and started firing at Rouge, but she was able to dodge the shots. Rouge delivered a spinning kick into Dark Rouge's face and it sent her falling back to the ground. Rouge then aimed her feet towards Dark Rouge and went down spinning at high speed. She delivered the blow right in the middle of Dark Rouge's chest which instantly killed her and made her vanish into nothingness.


Knuckles and Dark Knuckles...

Knuckles was punching the helpless Dark Knuckles multiple times with his iron fists. Dark Knuckles was knocked to the ground and started coughing out blood as Knuckles lifted a huge boulder from the ground. He threw it on top of Dark Knuckles body. Nothing else occurred except the black particles coming from under the rock and into the sky.


Sonic and Dark Sonic...

They were running around the large field at high speeds, but then they ended running into the area where Fox, Krystal, Dark Fox, and Dark Krystal were all fighting in. Krystal and Dark Krystal were both attacking each other with their staffs while Fox and Dark Fox were firing their blasters at each other. The two hedgehogs speed distracted Dark Fox and Dark Krystal just long enough for Fox and Krystal to eliminate them. As Dark Fox and Dark Krystal vanished, Dark Sonic was cornered by Sonic and Sonic gave a barrage of ultra-fast kicks and punches that easily eliminated Dark Sonic as his body disintegrated.


Yoshi and Dark Yoshi...

Yoshi and Dark Yoshi were engaged in fierce sword combat. The metal of their blades clashed many times as each of them were trying to hurt each other. However, when Dark Yoshi least expected it, Yoshi kicked his knees and sent him falling to the ground. Yoshi aimed his sword downward and thrusted it into Dark Yoshi's stomach. Dark Yoshi screamed as his body vanished into thin air.


Chris and Dark Chris...

Dark Chris was trying to attack Chris with his sword, but Chris kept him at bay with his Chaos abilities. Chris launched a Chaos Spear at Dark Chris and it struck him down to the ground. Chris walked over to Dark Chris and pulled out his Chaos Rifle.

"You haven't won yet Chris...This isn't over..." Dark Chris said as he looked towards the ground.

Chris shot Dark Chris multiple times and Dark Chris disintegrated into nothingness.


Tails and Dark Tails...

Tails chased Dark Tails to a secluded area of the village where nobody else could see them. Dark Tails pulled out an RPG and fired the rocket at Tails. Tails barely evaded the rocket blast and struck Dark Tails with his two tails. Dark Tails was knocked to the ground, but quickly got up. Dark Tails tried to punch Tails, but he was able to dodge it. Tails then struck his dark self with a kick to the chest that sent him flying into a wall. As Tails prepared to finish Dark Tails off, he felt a strange energy within himself. Before he could realize it, he fired a purple energy beam from his right hand and struck Dark Tails. Dark Tails was instantly vaporized by the beam's power. Tails stood still, looking at his shaking hands.

"Wha-What did I just do?" Tails asked himself.

He walked back to the team without saying a word and the team left the village and continued to the entrance of the Ocean Force Point Temple. Upon arrival, the team noticed that the seal of the temple was destroyed by the same energy. The team entered the temple, unknown of the evil of Edge that is ahead of them...


A/N: Well, it took me a while to think how this one would go. I'm sorry for not updating in a while due to that. I have the next few chapters planned out so I should be able to update sooner! Read and Review!
