Station Square Park- 14:10
Swift had stopped running after a while, and decided to relax on a park bench. He couldn't really think properly during his jog; there were too many people staring at his little run, but he remembered that with his speed, people could mistake him for Sonic. So, he went to one of the quietest spots away from the team that he could think of- the park.
Relaxing on a park bench, Swift sighed as he thought to himself, 'I can't believe that I cannot read Frances. I've always been more than capable of scanning just about everybody else I've ever seen without much effort. But what's so dang special that I can't even get a reading?'
"HEY!" Swift's thoughts were interrupted by a shout. He looked up, only to see a certain echidna Chao marching up to the bench he was on, and the guy did not look happy.
"Can I help you?" Swift asked, jumping onto the ground to be at level with the echidna Chao.
"Don't play that game with me!" Spike growled, grabbing Swift by the front of his vest, causing an exclamation point over the hedgehog Chao's head. "I know that you know that I know that you have the Emerald. So, hand it over, and the most you'll get out of this situation is a broken arm. Refuse, and by the time I'm through with you, you'll be wishing to Chaos that you never came a hundred feet of the island!" Swift blinked at this.
"Oh," Swift smiled, "you're from South Island, too? It's nice to finally meet a fellow Southern Chao!"
"How stupid do you think I am?" Spike scowled, an annoyed swirl forming over his head. "If it's a beating you want, you can try to talk your way out of this." Swift's exclamation point turned into a question mark.
"So," he asked, "you're not a South Island Chao? And I was getting my hopes up." Spike drew back a fist, and punched Swift across the face, sending him straight into a tree.
Smirking while closing his eyes, Spike grinned, "That was only a sample of the Guardians' strength. Unless you would like a five-course meal of the power of the long line of Guardians, I suggest you give up and hand over-" he was interrupted by a super fast punch, courtesy of Swift. The speed and the force of the blow sent Spike through a trash can in the park.
"I'm going to have to clean that up later," Swift muttered while looking at the damage. Turning to the trash covered Chao, he stated, "I have no idea what your beef with me is, but that punch wasn't called for."
"Wasn't called for?" Spike questioned while getting up, shaking the trash off of him. "Listen here, Sonic." Swift's eyes widened at the echidna Chao's knowledge of his secret identity, and an exclamation point appeared over his head. "You're either going to hand over the Master Emerald right now or so help me, it'll be more than just a punch to the face you'll be worrying about!" Swift's exclamation point returned to normal.
"Master Emerald?" Swift questioned. "I still don't know what you're talking about, guy. Though the real question is how do you know about me?"
"That witness I was talking about?" Spike reminisced. "He said that you and he were enemies, and you stole the Master Emerald to prevent the Chaos Emeralds from being used against you in case someone gets the other four left that you and he don't have. Now, I'm not going to repeat myself… Hand. The Master Emerald. OVER."
"I don't have it, though," Swift insisted, sounding even more confused. Spike, annoyed by Swift's attempts to convince him that he did not have the Master Emerald, leapt at Swift, fists ready. Swift jumped out of the way, letting the bench be crushed under Spike's power. He turned around, and tried to roundhouse kick the echidna Chao, only to have Spike block the blow with his right arm. The two stared into each other's eyes before jumping back, and dashing straight at each other, fists blazing.

Chuck's Garage- 14:28
Chris and Danny walked into the living room, bored after a long day of school, to see Karin and Miles working on Karin's laptop. "Hey, Dr. Naka," Chris greeted her. "Where's grandpa?"
"Chuck was called to his lab downtown," Karin replied, not looking up from her laptop. To Miles, she said, "Maybe we should go with the seal Chao, after all. We could finally convince Swift to actually attempt to learn how to swim so it doesn't hold Chris back when he's Sonic, and he could always use a playmate."
"What are you guys talking about?" Danny asked, looking at the laptop's screen. It showed the official website for Chao in Station Square that were up for adoption. Miles turned to them, a smile on his face.
"After our minor victory over GUN a couple days ago," the fox Chao explained, "Chris thought it would be best for our team to get at least one more member before we start our international mission to gather the remaining Chaos Emeralds. So, we were looking into potential recruits today, with Swift scouting at the school and me at the Garden."
"Wait," Danny questioned to Chris, "Swift was at our school and I didn't notice?"
"I didn't know he was at the school, either," Chris replied. Looking around, he noticed one thing was missing. Swift.
"Speaking of Swift," Danny continued, "where is the little guy?"
"On one of his usual runs," Miles replied. "Whenever Swift has been ticked off, he vents his anger by jogging around, trying to clear his mind of all stress. Don't worry, though; his runs last about a couple hours, anyways, and it gives him an opportunity to check out spots in Station Square we haven't looked." Chris just sat down on the couch, grabbing the remote before turning on the television. He did not like what he saw when he turned to the news.
The reason? Well, I would say something funny, here, but I haven't given a certain reporter any love for the past few episodes. So, here's Scarlet Garcia.
"Breaking news," Scarlet Garcia announced as she watched the madness unfold in Station Square's park. "What seems to be two mutated Chao are fighting to the death in our local park. So far, there has been about two thousand dollars of property damage done to the playground." As if to prove her point, she walked out of the way of the camera to reveal the playground that looked like it just went through a hurricane, as well as two blurs- one red and one blue- bouncing off of each other.
"Hey," Danny gasped while looking at the bent swing set, the flattened jungle gym, the broken monkey bars, and the shattered seesaw. "I happened to like that park when I was little!"
"We've gotten a picture ID on the two Chao," Scarlet continued, obviously not hearing Danny's complaint. The camera showed an angry red echidna Chao trying to punch a dark blue hedgehog Chao who ducked out of the way. Swift. "Man, is it just me, or has this city become a magnet for trouble? The police are not authorized to deal with insane Chao like this. It is not known why they're fighting, but someone should stop this. I'm Scarlet Garcia, Station Square News."
Tanaka, who had walked in on this report, sighed. "Should I start the car, Master Chris?"
"Not yet," Chris simply replied. Everybody looked at him in shock at his answer, Miles even getting an exclamation mark over his head.
"Dude," Danny questioned, "what do you mean 'no?' Swift's either going to get himself killed or cause a lot of property damage if we don't stop him!"
"That's the thing, though," Chris answered, a sense of leadership in his tone. Although Chuck was the actual leader of their little team, whenever he was gone, it usually fell on Chris to take charge of whatever situation they're facing. "If we dealt with Swift in person, then we would be discovered and facing every two-bit greedy organization with either an army or a huge supply of resources at their fingertips in the world in a race for the Chaos Emeralds when our actual mission starts. If we're going to do this, we have to do it discreetly."
"I see," Miles smirked as his exclamation returned to normal. Looking at Danny, he grinned, "We're finally taking to the field, Danny!"
"What!?" Danny gasped, surprised by what Chris meant. "Chris, you want me to break up the fight!?"
"To keep ourselves discreet," Chris explained, "you're the only option. We haven't found anybody else on the team to do this, and I can't use the Morpher when Swift is anywhere farther than ten feet away from me." Sensing Danny's nervousness, Chris grinned, "You took out three-count them- three GUN planes without batting an eyelash. All you have to do is fly downtown, grab Swift, and fly to wherever you have to in order to hide from the police or any news reports until we pick you guys up."
"It's true," Miles replied. "I may not be as fast as Swift on the ground, but I'll be damned if I haven't started to catch up to him over the years by at least the air."
"It's not that, though," Danny responded. "I still haven't fully figured out the Morpher's on and off thing!"
"Have Swift deactivate for you," Chris replied. "I'm sure he'll do it. Just name the place you want us to pick you up from." Danny sighed at this statement.
"Just pick me up from behind the Smoothie Shack." Turning to Miles, he activated his Morpher. "Chaos Soul, Take Flight!"

Station Square Park- 14:53
Swift dodged yet another blow from Spike, who just made a Chao fist sized dent in the slide. Swift was covered in a few bumps and bruises, and wiped a bit of blood from his mouth. "Man," the hedgehog Chap panted as an annoyed swirl appeared over his head. "You're a… stubborn Chao… aren't you?"
Spike grinned, showing a few bloody teeth- Swift had kicked him hard in the mouth earlier, breaking the seesaw in the process. Other than that, he looked fine. "Could say… the same… about you, Sonic," Spike replied.
"I guess… you aren't… going… to listen," Swift sighed. He curled into his ball form, and started to spin at a wild pace, while Spike's claws manifested themselves. The two were about to charge at each other in a potential fight to the death…
Only for two large Power Rings (A/N: God, I've been meaning to bring these back into the story for a while, now!) to fly out of nowhere, and latch themselves around both Chao, stopping Swift mid-spin while Spike fell to the ground in shock. Both of them had exclamation marks over their heads at the sudden interruption of their battle. "Okay you two," Tails scolded them as he landed; strapping what looked to be a white, hi-tech rifle on his back, Tails added, "that's enough senseless horseplay for one day."
"Wha…?" Spike questioned while looking at Tails walking over to Swift and picking him up by the Power Ring, where he was struggling to get free. Upon seeing Tails' namesakes spinning before he went airborne, Spike yelled with a swirl over his head, "H-hey! I'm not done with him, yet!"
"Yes, you are," Tails corrected as he turned around. "You may wanna hightail it out of here when that Dummy Ring's paralysis wears off in a few minutes before the authorities arrive- they don't like creatures with superpowers like us." Spike growled as Tails continued to fly away.
"You can run, hedgehog," Spike yelled at Swift, who was still confused by the whole situation, "but I'll be damned if you can hide from Spike, Guardian of the Master Emerald!" Tails sighed at the echidna Chao's little tantrum. He clearly had no idea just who he was messing with. Did he not know that if Chris was around, that Chao would have been on a one way trip to the hospital in a body bag? Still, that Master Emerald thing sounded like something he should talk to Chuck about, being new to the whole thing.
'We rule,' Miles grinned. 'That Dummy Ring gun works like a charm!'
'It's a good thing my dad had been working on a gun shaped disk launcher, anyways,' Danny agreed. 'And these- Dummy Rings, as you call them- have the ability to paralyze basic motor skills, which is useful. Good thing we stopped at my house for this gun!'
A few minutes later, Swift could finally uncurl himself as the Ring around him disappeared into nothingness, so he stretched out in Tails' arm. He then awkwardly looked at the rifle on the kitsune's back. "…New gadget?"
"Yep," Tails calmly answered. "My human side's dad made it. He doesn't know about us, but he has a few prototype disk launchers at home, so he shouldn't miss one or two."
"And you loaded it with Miles' Dummy Rings?" Swift asked, a question mark above his head. Now, Miles had made two types of Power Rings. The first set of Power Rings were the ones that stimulate Chaos Energy throughout the user's body for three minutes a ring, however it made them exhausted almost immediately after the ring is used up. The second set is the result of Miles accidentally mixing a bit of snake venom into the materials he dips the Power Rings in to allow Chaos Energy to flow through them. When Swift first tried it, he was paralyzed for three minutes, not given his usual boost of energy. So, whenever Miles needed Swift to hold still but Swift wasn't cooperating, he'd poison the Rings and throw them at the hedgehog Chao when he was least expecting.
"Had to stop you guys one way or another," Tails replied. "You two were on the news… again for your part." Swift rolled his eyes- that meant that he was going to hear it from Chris, Tanaka, Ella, Karin, and even Chuck whenever he got home. "But we're going to get smoothies and you're going to help me get out of Morph."
"You still haven't figured it out, huh?"
"Shut-up. It's my first time in the field."
"And you didn't screw up so far."
---
Smoothie Shack- 15:28
Everyone on their team slurped their smoothies in silence, and all attention was clearly on Swift. Danny had returned to normal, thanks to Swift telling him the only ways to deactivate the Morpher manually in Laymen's terms: "Hit the big, shiny center, and you're normal!"
Chris was the first to speak. "What the heck were you thinking getting into a fight with another Chao, Swift?"
"Okay," Swift began, a swirl over his head. "First off, that red guy threw the first punch when I told him I had no idea what he was talking about… and he isn't from South Island."
"Don't try to change the subject," Karin replied. "I don't care who threw the first punch, all that we need to know is that you and he decimated a children's playground for no reason."
"And that he knows that I'm half of Sonic," Swift added.
"Right," Karin nodded. She took another sip of her strawberry banana smoothie, but her brain caught up with what Swift just said. She then spit out what was in her mouth on the table they were sitting at (much to the disgust of Chris, Tanaka, Danny, and Miles), and stared at the Chao. "What!?"
"Yep," Swift stated as the swirl over his head disappeared. "There's an echidna Chao- that I could've totally handled on my own, mind you- out there that knows I'm Sonic… or part of him."
"Why the hell didn't you tell us this the second we got here!?" Tanaka whispered to the hedgehog Chao, annoyed and scared that someone knows their secret and isn't in their inner circle.
"And risk our secret out even more in line as well as not get smoothies?" Swift questioned. "Hell no! Anyways, he's accusing me of stealing an Emerald from an Island… but I've grown up with my Chaos Emerald, so he's mistaken. Still, he'll try to hunt at least me down, so as long as I can draw him in, we can take him, easy."
"There you are!" a familiar voice spoke up. Swift's swirl over his head returned with a vengeance- he didn't need any hints as to who was behind him.
"Haven't you caused me enough karma damage, today?" Swift questioned while turning to see Spike, this time with Ahaw Kin- who knew Spike like a brother, and opt watched the battle from afar, only getting involved if it was too much for Spike to handle.
"I haven't finished kicking you around for stealing the Emerald!" Spike growled. Looking at the others, he stated, "And you have accomplices in stealing it, as well. Don't think you can overpower me in numbers."
"H-hey," Chris interrupted, noticing the looks they were receiving. "Are you guys new, here? Why don't we introduce ourselves over a couple of smoothies? Mr. Tanaka, could you…?"
"Yes, Master Chris," Tanaka agreed, knowing what Chris was doing- trying to distract everyone by changing the subject. Once Chris was sure that everyone was ignoring them before inviting Ahaw Kin and Spike to sit. The two did so, sitting directly across from Chris and Swift respectively. Chris easily noticed the murderous look that the echidna Chao was shooting his way, and mentally thanked god that looks couldn't kill. Soon enough, Mr. Tanaka returned with their smoothies, and everyone drank in silence. Almost a half hour passed before Chris got comfortable enough to speak.
"…So," Chris awkwardly whispered, trying to get on good terms with their unexpected guests that may or may not know their secret. "Who are you guys?"
"The two Guardians who are going to kick your asses if you don't agree to hand over the Master Emerald right now, that's who!" Spike growled.
"See?" Swift spoke up. "He's crazy and accusing us of something we didn't do."
"You're on thin ice, here, Sonic," Spike spat. "And I'm done negotiating, here. I'm giving you twenty-four hours to hand over the Master Emerald, as we have been told that it was you stole it. If the Master Emerald is not back in my and Ahaw Kin's hands in a day, I will hunt you all down."
"Chris," Danny interjected, "I've been meaning to ask as the new guy to the team, but what is the Master Emerald?"
"I thought Miles told you about the Chaos Emeralds," Chris stated, looking at the fox Chao.
"I left it out in my explanation," Miles replied. "Until now, it was never important to us."
"Never important?" Spike questioned, a swirl over his head. The next thing Miles knew, a red echidna Chao had him by his throat, giving him an exclamation point in shock, and was violently shaking him. "You mean to tell me that you didn't think that perhaps the most important gem on the face of the earth was important!?"
"Spike, that's enough!" Ahaw Kin finally spoke up. The red Chao let go of Miles, giving him a death glare before turning to Ahaw Kin, who sighed in slight anger. "I'm sorry for Spike's rashness… he's been on-edge all day. Still, the person we met says that he saw you steal the Master Emerald, and we have no other leads."
"Well, you're in luck," Swift grinned. "We can probably track that thing-"
"I'm afraid not," Ahaw Kin interrupted. "Until we are completely sure who's innocent and who's guilty, we have to rely on the evidence we have. And we both know that the hedgehog Chao is Sonic. So, I propose we settle this dispute with a trial by swords…."
"A trial by swords?" Swift asked with a question mark over his head.
"You mean you want to fight us to fight you to the death?" Chris gasped at this proposal. "I think we're both a little young and have lives ahead of us! Besides, as Sonic, Swift and I are too powerful against normal humans!" To prove his point, he showed Ahaw Kin his Morpher.
"You're not the only one with a fancy wristwatch," Ahaw Kin replied, showing his red Chaos Morpher, making them all gasp.
"A third Morpher?" Miles questioned, looking at it while Swift had closed his eyes. Miles questioned, 'But how? I'm the only Chao on the planet who knows how to make one of these things, and I don't remember making one that was red.'
"Your Chao experienced first hand Spike's power," Ahaw Kin continued, snapping Miles back into reality. "The man who told us about you stealing the Master Emerald said something among the lines that one Mobian Echidna was as strong as five strongmen. In other words, should this watch be legit, I'm more than capable of defending myself."
"But we just met, and you have a Morpher," Miles stated. He inspected the Morpher, getting close to Ahaw Kin's wrist, somewhat making the boy awkwardly back away. "Instead of fighting us, why don't we help you? Swift, do a quick Chaos Sense Scan of these guys and see if their levels match each other enough for them to use the Morpher."
"Already did," Swift replied, looking grim. "These guys have the same levels of Chaos energy… they're a perfect Morpher pair." Everyone else was surprised at this bit of news.
"So," Spike grinned, "do you feel like handing the Master Emerald over now, or do you wanna try fighting us?" Chris and Swift looked straight at each other, completely silent. "Not talking… that's not going to keep us away.
"If you want to accept our challenge," Ahaw Kin explained to Chris, "then come straight to those odd metal buildings by the water tomorrow."
"You mean the abandoned warehouses near the docks?" Chris questioned, realizing what the guardian boy meant. "Why there of all places?"
"It's a large area where we can do battle without interruptions and risk of others getting in the way of our fight," Ahaw Kin replied. "You must reply to our challenge within twenty-four hours… otherwise, I will not be held responsible for what my little brother does to find you." With that, Spike and Ahaw Kin stood up, and walked away, Spike shooting death glares at Swift.
Once they were out of sight, Chris turned to the others. "So," Chris began, "we have until four tomorrow to find this 'Master Emerald' that these guys are talking about or for me and Swift to fight them. I've never had this much of a deadline before outside of school. I don't want to fight anyone I don't have to, and I only took on GUN and the Speed Team because it was the only way I was guaranteed to get out of there not arrested… or dead. What are we going to do?"
"I can't help you there, Chris," Danny replied. "Speaking of school, it is a school night, and I have to get home, lest I worry my mom senseless."
"Master Chris," Tanaka replied, "I am not one to encourage you to fight, but I did teach you self-defense for such an occasion. You are a decent fighter on your own and even stronger as Sonic… though I hate to admit it. I am sure you and Swift will be able to at least hold your ground while we locate this gem."
"Though it will hurt like hell," Swift announced, still recovering from all of the pain. "That echidna Chao had a mean right hook. So we better either find this Emerald of theirs or find a way to outlast them."
"I'm not doing this fight thing," Chris insisted. "This is all a misunderstanding on their part."
"You have to," Swift retorted.
"I'm not fighting them, damn it."
"We have no idea where this Emerald is and they're not going to realize that we don't have it… so we have no choice but to at least beat them down to a point that they'd listen to us."
"I'll get started on locating the Emerald with Chuck's help," Karin added, standing up. "In the meantime, you and Swift get ready, Chris. This guy doesn't know how you fight, but I've seen you take down robots that look tougher than you, so this should be simple."
Chris looked nervous at this. Everyone here was expecting him to fight these guys that none of them even know. Sure, he'd take on anyone who threatened his friends and family, but these two… Ahaw Kin and Spike, was it? They were clueless as to whatever happened. Whoever set the duo against him was clearly lying… but why?

Rose Residence- 21:25 that night
Helen Rose and Amy were bored. The girl and her Chao had finished going over Helen's homework hours ago, and played some games to kill time, especially since Helen's parents were out for the night (it was their wedding anniversary, after all). So, after Helen climbed into bed, the two decided to talk.
"Do you think Chris is not over the fact that he couldn't save me?" Helen asked Amy as the hedgehog Chao climbed into her little bed in the corner.
"I dunno," Amy answered, fluffing the pillow she liked to nestle in. A question mark appeared over her head as she asked, "Why… has something happened after that Sonic guy first appeared?"
"Well," Helen reminisced, "The Monday after the incident, he looked kind of spaced out. After that, he started falling asleep towards the end of our home economics class, and sometimes he falls asleep during lunch."
"Sounds like he seems bothered by something," Amy agreed, the question mark fading. "I have to agree, it's not like him to be tired during the middle of the day. He and Danny are the smartest humans I know, so he can't be having homework issues."
"Maybe I should talk to him next chance I get," Helen suggested. "I ought to reassure Chris that Sonic having to step in and save me from being eaten by a giant metal chicken will not affect our friendship."
"Atta girl," Amy smiled, climbing out of her bed and walking over to Helen's. She then thought aloud, "Speaking of Sonic, is it just me, or does he remind you of someone?"
"What do you mean?" Helen questioned, not getting what the Chao meant. The small pink Chao had a heart over her head, happy at the thought.
"Look at his personality. He's helpful, brave, strong, determined… a hero among Mobians if there ever was one, despite his negative relationship with the police. If he was a billionaire kid whose parents were murdered so he traveled across the globe to get into the criminal mindset and trained to be a ninja, he would be a Mobian equivalent to Batman. However, the closest person that even resembles most of those qualities…." This was interrupted by a sudden knocking noise that both girls picked up. The knocking seemed to come from just outside of Helen's bedroom window.
'That's strange,' Helen thought while looking at her window. 'Mom and Dad said they would be gone until eleven. And I don't know anyone who would use the window.' It didn't take much to realize someone or something was trying to get her attention. Amy decided to go to the door, and lock it just in case anyone else was in the house.
"Be careful, Amy," Helen warned while sitting up in her bed, slowly reaching for her cell phone that was charging on the nightstand, just in case whoever or whatever was knocking was watching her every move. Amy, just in case, was reaching for a mallet (which just so happened to be the Chao equivalent of a war hammer) that happened to be under Helen's bed.
Once the Chao found the mallet, she stated, "I will be." Just then, the doorknob of the bedroom room had a giant hole next to it, courtesy of a golden metal hand. Both Helen and Amy gasped at the sudden random break-in, Amy having an exclamation mark over her head.
"Would it kill the doctor to give a reason why we're doing this?" a robotic voice muttered to itself as the hand started feeling for doorknob. Amy's grip on her hammer tightened, not knowing who would come first- the one at the door, or the one at the window. Amy, just to be safe, started to attempt to barricade the door with whatever she could lift and was in the room. Meanwhile, Helen grabbed her phone, and started dialing the first person she could think of- Francine "Frances" Burns.
"Come on, come on," Helen whispered into the cell phone. "Pick up, pick up, pick up…!"
"…Helen?" Frances asked into the phone. "What's up?"
"Oh thank god," Helen breathed into the phone. "Frances, someone's broken into my house, and is trying to break into my room."
"What!?" Frances gasped. "Someone's in your house right now!?"
"Not too loud," Helen whispered. "…Listen, Amy's blocking the door, but that's not the only problem. Someone's at the window… I don't think they're human."
"You don't think Sonic's stalking you, is he?" Frances questioned.
"This isn't a time for jokes," Helen snapped into the phone. "I need help, and I need it now! My parents are too far away, and you're the closet person to my house!"
"What are you calling me for?" Frances questioned back. "Call the police or something!"
"I just wanted someone to know!" Just then, the golden hand found the doorknob, unlocked the door, and started turning it to open the door… only for the door to run straight into a barricade of various stuffed animals and a hamper full of clothes.
"Oh for the love of god!" the owner of the gold hand yelled. "Bokkun, help a brother out, here, will you?"
"Oh, fine," a new voice answered, this time coming from outside. Before either Amy or Helen could turn around, a small, black blur crashed straight through the window, sending broken glass all across the tan carpet, and delivering a powerful kick straight into the back of Amy's head, knocking her out. The black blur revealed to be a rather large black Chao with small red demon wings, pure white eyes, a pair of red devil horns and a devil tail, a toothy grin, and a large spike ball over his head- a Dark Chao.
Now, Chao are neither good nor evil creatures when they're born. In fact, they're just normal. The way they're raised will affect whether they will become Light Chao with halos over their head like little angels, or Dark Chao with spike balls over their heads and demon-esque characteristics like tiny devils. This Chao, Bokkun apparently, was a Dark Chao.
The Chao moved the clutter from the door, and opened it to reveal Decoe and Bocoe. "About time," Bocoe snapped at the Chao.
"I got us in, didn't I?" Bokkun shrugged. Turning to the girl, the Chao saw that she was staring at him while on the phone. Before anyone could predict, the Chao shot over, grabbed the phone from her hand, and threw it out the window. Landing on her lap, the Chao flashed a mischievous grin. "Message for you!" the Chao greeted.
Helen screamed.

Kingdom Rider92's Notes: Yes, I went with damsel-in-distress. Forgive me, female readers. However, for the whole Knuckles introduction, I did originally plan for something like this- I needed to give Sonic a reason to come to the docks. Also, I must apologize. I'm going to be doing a different project over the summer vacation that has nothing to do with Chao Chronicles. In order for it to even be on deviantART by the end of summer, I took time off of this story to get started. Hell, I might not finish it at all by the end of summer, and have to wait until next year. So once season one of Chao Chronicles is done, it will be on a few months hiatus so I get used to college life. This is a warning in advance: if there is a sudden hiatus around August, you now know why.
I like how Bokkun turned out, here. In Sonic X, he was just a messenger robot with a crush on Cream. Not in Chao Chronicles, though. He's still a messenger, but he's a slightly badass Dark Chao bred by Robotnik himself! I mean, doesn't Bokkun somewhat resemble a Chao in Sonic X? Well, if you don't like him, don't worry too much… he only appears when necessary.
Edge's Corner: Such as in my comment show right now!
Bokkun: Yay! I'm answering crazy comments! Okay, first comment…
Salamander Hanzo by Bokkun: That's a great philosophy. Though I prefer C4-laced tape recordings, TV bombs, and tabloid grenades, boxes with dynamite is a great way to deal with problems.
SPark681 by Edge: Yes, it's kind of obvious who did the crime, and thank you for not spoiling things. Just for that, I'll let you all know that the second arc in Chao Chronicles is about to begin after episode five. Two words: Mayan Vacation.
Kitty Seville by Bokkun: I believe your internet will be in the mail. Anyways, I didn't even know Shadow was a religion. I have to ask the Doctor about this. He'll definitely know if this is a religion! Anyways… wait, a Swift drawing? We're only five episodes in, and he already has fan art? That's it! Just for this alone there is a DVD player and DVD mine with his name on it!
White Hunter by Edge: Here's your answer to what happens next. Swift gets in fight with Spike, the two are broken up by Tails who is starting to get a hang of his powers like Sonic has gotten, Chris and Swift are challenged to a duel by Ahaw Kin and Spike, and Helen gets her house broken into by Robotnik's two usual lackeys and today's co-host. Also, did you notice the "Kingdom Rider92, out!" thing that the author does at the end of these notes? He does that in reviews, too.
SuperSpeed by Bokkun: See Edge's last answer.
Zohaku by Bokkun: Uh, slight typo, dude in Frances' name, but I'll let it slide as how you manage to aggravate the author by figuring out what happens next. Like right now. I see him venting that you figured out who built the Morpher, who will the technology next, and leaving everyone wondering how he got it if they read your reviews. Also, just for this, Kingdom Rider92 is going to leave you all hanging until next chapter as to how Knuckles looks. *cough* Tribal Punk *cough*
DFuture by Edge: One, interesting name. Two, I'm glad to see someone caught the Meteor Tech reference to Sonic Riders Zero Gravity. It was my suggestion. Now, just to establish this once and for all, anyone who uses a Chaos Morpher will be called a "Neo Mobian." There will be a reason for this later. Now, does this mean that the Babylon Rogues are in here? Damn straight. Will they be a trio of Neo Mobians? I'm not allowed to reveal that kind of info. Will Meteor Tech go evil? That depends on whether the author wants to do it.
Kingdom Rider92's Notes: And with that, I think I'm done with reviews, today. Thank you, Bokkun, for taking time out of your debut to actually come and do these. Things should be wrapped up in part 3 of episode 5, and we can get to the actual first cool not monster-of-the week format story arc. Kingdom Rider92, out!
