Chapter 4 of Chao In Space is now here... Enjoy...
Angel Chaos read the letter:
"Ha ha ha! Dear Angel Chaos, we took one of your heroes, she's with us now and there's nothing you can do about it! Ha ha ha! If you want her back, you must give up Hero Garden and let us have it! There is no other way out of this, unless we can have the gold chao!"
Signed, Dark Chaos.
Angel Chaos gasped, she didn't want Golden to be with that creep! Of all Chao, she should know better than to let her own daughter go with a dark beast like him. She studied the letter and thought of a decision. She sighed and looked up at the sky.
"Melody... You were supposed to spy and stay out of sight..." Angel Chaos sighed, she looked at Shadow and Golden from afar, they were at the top of Hero Rock, talking to Shiny and Ed. They all laughed, they sounded like they were having fun.
She finally saw Light Chaos flying down to her...
"Hey, what's up Angel?" Light Chaos asked.
"Oh, Light Chaos, I made a mistake... Melody is gone... She's been captured by Dark..." Angel Chaos goaned, she couldn't look at Light Chaos in the eyes... She was too upset now when the owl gave her the letter.
"Aw no... We must get her out of there." Light Chaos growled, he looked at the Hero Garden entrance, thinking of a plan that would get the hero swim type chao out of the Dark Garden.
"We need to give him Golden, it's the only way to free Melody. She was going to sing for the Hero Garden festival. The letter said he wants this whole Garden, but if we give up Golden, we can keep the garden so that hero chao have a place to stay." Angel explained.
"We can't give up Golden, she is your daughter, right? You and Xavier had her, so she's yours. Dark cannot have her and I won't let him take her from you. I'll go and free Melody. That way he won't bother this garden." Light Chaos replied. He flew off without giving Angel Chaos a chance to say good bye.
Golden saw what was going on from afar and flew down next to her mother.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Golden asked.
"It's Melody... She was captured... Light Chaos is going to Dark Garden to stop him." Angel Chaos explained to her daughter, not wanting to see the end of Hero Garden come so soon.
"My friend has been captured. Mother, please, let me and Shadow go and help her." Golden begged her mother at last.
"But you were already there, you just got back yesterday with Shadow." Angel Chaos gasped, she didn't want Golden to risk it all. Then she let out a sofft sigh and placed her chao paw on Golden's head.
"Alright, you can go and Shadow can go with you since I see some good in him." Angel Chaos nodded. Golden smiled and flew around her mother with glee, then she flew over to Shadow, Shiny and Ed.
"Shadow! Come on! We need to save Melody!" Golden pulled on his paw.
"Why? I thought she was here..." Shadow replied, he was looking at her. Ed and Shiny finally spoke up.
"Was she captured by Dark?" Shiny asked.
"Yeah, what happened to her?" Ed also asked.
"My mother knows that Melody is in Dark Garden, yes she was captured..." Golden replied, she looked at the ground and then Shadow. Shadow placed his paw on her shoulder.
"We will save her together." Shadow nodded.
"Do you want us to go?" Shiny asked with Ed by her side.
"Um... No. I think Shadow and I will do fine alone. You guys can stay here and get the festival ready!" Golden made her decision. Shiny and Ed respected this and let the young golden chao go with the young dark chao.
"We will return safely." Shadow flew down and passed Angel Chaos.
"Please return with Golden safely." She looked at Shadow for a long time before they left.
"I will make sure she's safe. Even if I have to die for her." Shadow nodded, he gave the Angel Chaos chao a determined look before flying off with his partner.
The other hero chao waved to them as they were off to fight Dark and get Melody back...
~OOO~
Melody was in her cell in the Dark Garden dungeon. She was deep underground with the best dark chao guards who only grunted and looked at her from time to time. She wasn't comfortable being in Dark Garden at all. She was going to miss out on the festival if she wasn't back soon.
She finally spoke to the guards.
"Are you guys going to let me free? We are doing important business up in Hero Garden and I need to be there." Melody shyly spoke to them.
"NO! No one leaves the cells! Once captured you have to stay here!" The tough looking swim type dark chao growled. The tough fly type dark chao grunted and sneered at her. He meant it too.
"Please..." Melody whined, but the dark chao guard banged on the cage with his steel staff.
"No one leaves!" He repeated.
Melody when silent... She was scared and she didn't want to be in there anymore.
She finally heared sound from above her, it sounded like Light Chaos talking to someone else. She knew it was him!
"Light..." Melody whispered.
~OOO~
I cannot wait until you get what you deserve! Let the hero chao go Dark!" Light Chaos growled. Dark Chaos laughed in his face and slammed him down with his foot.
"No... What makes you think I'll do that!?" Dark Chaos laughed and struck Light Chaos and sent him flying into a wall. Light Chaos shook himself off and attacked Dark Chaos, slashing him at full speed.
"Ow ow ow! You little!" Dark Chaos was about to blast Light Chaos with his dark beam, but Golden and Shadow showed up and saw this, they threw part of a mirror at the beam and they ran off. The beam hit the small mirror as the attack was sent back at Dark Chaos.
"Well, it seems like company as come..." Light Chaos grinned.
"Grrr! Guards! Find out who threw that damn mirror piece and stopped my attack! I'll continue to battle this stupid creep!" Dark Chaos ordered, the guards nodded and ran off to find out who messed up the battle.
"You don't even know who did it. So why have your lousy guards search? Can't you see who else is here?" Light Chaos teased and continued to fight back. Using his light beam, he blasted Dark Chaos into the walls. Dark Chaos slowly got up and huffed.
"You... Won't get away with that!" Dark Chaos growled. He was about to attack when one guard came up to him.
"That golden chao is here! She is trying to free that hero chao that you captured earlier." The guard panicked.
"Well, throw chains on her! Get her! Don't let her escape with that hero chao!" Dark Chaoss roared making Light Chaos more concerned now.
"Oh no..." Light Chaos pushed Dark Chaos out of the way and knocked him off of his feet. A few rocks fell on top of him.
"Ooooh... You won't get away with that either you bastard!" Dark Chaos growled.
Light Chaos made his way to the deep dungeon and saw Golden and Shadow. They were fighting off the guards who were trying to keep Melody in the cell.
"You guys must hurry!" Melody cried.
"We are, there's too many dark chao!" Shadow growled. He punched a power type dark chao out of the way and shoved a swim type dark chao into a fly type dark chao. Finally a few evil neutral chao came into the battle, they were on Dark Chaos's side. Wacky was about to get Shadow but Golden slammed him down.
Light Chaos was getting Melody free.
"Oh my god! Thank you!" She sighed. She was finally going to be freed.
Once the cell was unlocked, she was free. Light Chaos led her out of the Dark Garden once she was close, he let her go on her own. Melody knew her way out.
"Alright, I need to get Shadow and Golden out of there before they get killed!" Light Chaos flew back into the battle and grabbed Golden and Shadow. He flew out of Dark Garden. Dark Chaos was about to get them, but Light Chaos shoved him into the wall of the entrance, leaving him to hold his head in pain.
"YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS SHIT! YOU ALL WILL PAY! I WILL HAVE GOLDEN EVEN IF IT'S THE LAST GOD DAMN THING I DO!" Dark Chaos roared and pounded his chest like a gorilla.
"That was close! We need to get back to the festival and celebrate Xavier's death." Light Chaos sighed.
"Yeah, we ca't risk going back there, those dark chao are tough as hell." Shadow panted.
"Yes, they are tough." Golden sighed, she flew down near the entrance to Hero Garden.
"Are you coming?" Shadow looked back at her.
"Yeah... Let's go back in, we did our part." Golden smiled and nodded, they walked into the portal and they were in Hero Garden again. Melody was getting ready to sing her song. Shiny and Ed flew up to them, they were happy to see that they returned.
"You both came back!" Shiny danced around them.
"We thought you all were gone!" Ed was relieved to see them.
"Well, Light Chaos were there to help." Shadow pointed to the older chao who was talking to Angel Chaos about what they saw in Dark Garden and how strong the dark chao were over the years.
"At least you all are back in one piece." Shiny nodded to them, she had all of the hero chao fruit ready for the heros to eat after the announcement that Angel Chaos had for them.
~OOO~
"In celebration of my mate Xavier who was the best chao we could ever have, we start this festival by hearing a few songs from a few hero chao that you may know." Angel Chaos announced. All of the hero chao clapped and saw Magic come up from the fountain. He started singing his song:
Night Whispers
"Its been a long night... The suffering started back when I was around... I could feel a wind that burns my face.
I feel right into my space as the night whispers... It whispers to me, it whispers to everyone that I see. I fear, that one day I'll go on and be a spirit, that whispers into your heart...
My heart whispers for you as it whispers for me... Night whispers are full of memories that I can't get out of my head. Xavier was a true fighter, he fought to save his daughter. He won the battle but not the war... He whipsers to us all as he whispers, he gives us a gift... Oooh yeah, he gives us a gift... The gift of a life time...
Xavier, Xavier! You are the night whispers that come in my dream... You know that it's hard, you know that we stay strong, you know that we can fight and you know that we work hard...
You understand us all, you see us all sing out, for us all! Ooooooooooooooooh! You know, you know ooooh ooh! You know that you are our night... Whispers...
His song ends.
All of the hero chao clapped, some were crying. The song about Xavier was made by Magic himself. Magic bowed down and left the fountain. He swam down to the bottom of Hero Garden. There was a hidden lounge in there.
"Melody, your up next!" Angel Chaos called to her. The swim type chao came up to the fountain and placed the mic to her level so that she could sing. She began to sing her song:
Light Steps In The Water
Do you ever hear light steps? Can you see the river?
Do you know about the glare? When you watch, you see that one chao. And he just gives you
a stare...
Do I dare, to make others pay?
For what will they pay for?
What is the open door?
Where can I find it?
And where do we fit?
I can see the light steps, coming in the water! I can see the light steps flying through the air!
I can feel the wind! I can touch the light! I can see the light, coming near! Right there in the clear, I can see a deer! That deer looks like Xavier, Xavier was in our hearts as his light steps could be seen in the water...
I can feel his weight above me as I sing out this tune... Soon, I'll be ready, to take light steps myself... His steps were as light as a feather, whether or not, he guided us... Light steps in the water is clear! So near I can almost see it! Xavier was our savior! He saved Golden from he dark!
What happened to his mind?
What happened when he was kind?
Was right inside of a cave?
How was Xavier so brave?
Was it the light?
That shined so bright?
I can see the light steps, coming in the water! I can see the light steps flying through the air!
I can feel the wind! I can touch the light! I can see the light, coming near! Right there in the clear, I can see a deer! That deer looks like Xavier, Xavier was in our hearts as his light steps could be seen in the water...
I can feel his weight above me as I song out this tune... Soon, I'll be ready, to take light steps myself... His steps were as light as a feather, whether or not, he guided us... Light steps in the waster is clear! So near I can almost see it! Xavier was our savior! He saved Golden from the dark!
What happened?
Where is Xavier now?
Where are all the good chao?
Where is he?
Where could he be?
Where could he be?
Where could he be?
The light steps flow within the water...
The song ends.
The hero chao clapped for her song as well, her song caught everyone's heart the most. Xavier was their savior. He died for all hero chao and was blessed with a new life. From above, Angel Chaos could feel that he was watching over them and his daughter.
"That was a good song Melody." Golden smiled at her. Melody smiled shyly before going into the hidden lounge where she met up with Magic and Shiny. Shiny was ready to sing her song, she was the last chao to sing before they started eating that night. Shadow always wanted to know what hero fruit tasted like, but he could wait until the last song was over. Once Shiny was on the fountain, she began to sing her song:
Xavier The Warrior
It all starts with a burn. We all look back and turn. There is no where to run...
It all ends with a cheer, then it all turns into fear... We all cry like we won.
But there is only one warrior... It is Xavier! Xavier! He was the ture warrior that stopped Dark Chaos from winning! He was our father, he was the truth of all chao! We all won the battle, but Xavier protected us!
We can sing out to him and pray that we don't get killed.
Some dark chao may seem thrilled but we survived...
All of those lives, that Dark Chaos took, will get restored as light protects them!
We rush into wars, but something was not right. Despite the hero chao that we have, Xavier was the true warrior here... So don't you fear...
I need some sympathy on his name! Xavier was the one who saved us! He's a true warrior at heart! He was a gold chao with a start! He gave us a home in which we must protect!
It all starts with a burn. We all look back and turn. There is no where to run...
It all ends with a bend, as we twist and look at the trends. We all cry like we won.
But there is only one warrior... It is Xavier! Xavier! He was the true warrior that stopped Dark Chaos from winning! He was our father, he was the truth of all chao! We all won the battle, but Xavier protected us!
We can sing out to him and pray that we don't get killed.
Some dark chao may seem thrilled but we survived...
All of those lives, that Dark Chaos took, will get restored as the light protects them!
We rush into wars, but something was not right. Despite the hero chao that we have, Xavier was the true warrior here... So don't you fear...
We need some sympathy on his name! Xavier was the who saved us! He's a true warrior at heart! We was a gold chao with a start! He gave us a home in which we must protect!
It all starts with a burn, we all look and turn. There is someone we can run to.
That chao is... Xavier...
It all starts with a burn, we all look and turn. There is someone we can run to.
That chao is... Xavier...
He is our warrior until the end! We cannot stop until we get his name out!
We cannot give up! We are the new heroes who came... To stop the darkness...
As a Shadow comes to save us from the evil that burned our home! We will have a new warrior! But for now, Xavier is our main warrior who saved us all. Every hero chao, every dark chao and every neutral chao can see that we all live our lives...
We cannot give in...
We can win!
We can start a whole world! We can be warriors, if we tried! We can reach the same level as Xavier! If we all go and burn, we burn together...
It all starts with a burn, we all look and turn. There is someone we can run to.
That warrior that we turn to, is Xavier...
That warrior that we turn to is Xavier...
The Song ends.
Melody clapped from below the hidden lounge along with Magic, her song was the final one and it was the best song any chao could have sang. Angel Chaos loved it too. She loved all three of the songs. Golden liked Shiny and Melody's song the most. While Shadow liked Magic's and Shiny's.
After all of the songs were sung, they all celebrating by eating the hero fruit. Shadow liked the hero fruit, it tasted good and he went to get more. Golden enjoyed the food. She was eating super fast. Angel Chaos sat on her float above Chao Rock. Light Chaos was sitting next to her.
"You know, I enjoyed the music." Light Chaos smiled.
"Yes, my hero chao can sing. What about your chao?" Angel Chaos asked.
"They can sing too, but we are still trying to rebuild. We got rid of the fire, but now we need more trees and more grass land. Some neutral chao came back though." Light Chaos repled.
"Ah, I see... I'm sorry about what happened to your place..." Angel Chaos sighed.
"Oh don't worry in a whole year the Garden will be back to normal." Light Chaos grinned.
"Right... I can't wait to visit your garden instead." Angel Chaos purred and rubbed her head against the Light Chaos chao.
"Don't worry, you will see our garden again. For now, it's best that we neutral chao clean up first." Light Chaos laughed. Angel Chaos laughed too.
~OOO~
"Sir we are so sorry, those hero chao are just way too smart. Not strong, but they-" Rainbow was slapped.
"I don't give a shit! You all should have fucking killed Shadow! He came back and abandoned us to live with Angel and her group of pathetic hero chao!" Dark Chaos slammed his paw on the table.
"Are you okay Rainbow?" A fly type dark chao helped him up.
"Yeah..." Rainbow growled.
"Sir, I don't know what we are going to do." Wacky was going crazy again.
"Wacky, you are new, so you don't even know about this whoe plan." Dark Chaos growled at him. Wacky stopped stomping on the ground and listened to the conversation.
"What will we do now? Are we giving up?" A normal dark chao asked in the crowd.
"No! We are going to take over Hero Garden by force! Nothing will stop us! And that Golden chao will be ours!" Dark Chaos laughed.
And with that... All of the dark chao cheered as Wacky was stomping on the ground again. Shadow's brother Rocky was also going to be on the new mission.
Dark Chaos left the room, leaving all of the dark chao to cheer. Rainbow was beind a wall, lookng at his leader. He wasn't happy with being slapped, he was going to join Angel Chaos's team when he gets the chance to. He no longer wanted to be on his side anymore.
"I don't need this shit, I'm going to leave and never return." Rainbow hissed.
Wacky heard what he said, we knew that this would be news for Dark Chaos. He snickered and tip toed away from the dark power type chao...
To be continued...
