Chapter 7

"So tell me Megaman X," Eggman began. "What can you tell me about this Baby Elf?" Eggman looked at the Elf inside of a large test tube.

"Well for starters Cyber Elves can give reploids like me unlimited strength," Copy X explained. "There are three kinds of cyber elves. Animal, Hacker and Nurse. Animal Elves help improve abilities such as agility while others can provide back up support during battle. Nurse Elves can heal you. Very simple programming. I used these two types when I remodeled the M.S. 5."

"And what about the Hacker Elves?" Eggman blurted with inpatients.

"Keep your pants on human I haven't even finished yet. Anyway the final type of Cyber Elf, the Hacker can rewrite data. Some can make enemies disappear while others can increase your ranking."

"Truly amazing these Cyber Elves are,"Eggman replied as he poked the test tube. The Baby Elf smacked against the walls as if it were tyring to escape. "I suppose you would like to know about the Chaos Emerald I made you steal?"

"It crossed my mind a few times," Copy X entertainingly replied. "But since you brought it up."

"Well for starters there are seven of these emeralds all together. They also posses' great powers like your cyber elves. I use there power of these jewels to power my greatest machinery. Whenever Sonic uses them though it seems to give an upraise in power and it gives him a new form."

"I see," Copy X said as held an emerald in his hand. "Is this the only one you have?"

"No. I actually have two more of them. All we have to do is find the other four and we can combine the powers of them with that of the Cyber Elf and rule our two worlds."

The two villains threw their heads back and laughed.

Zero walked through the forests of Angel Island. He had never scene a place so beautiful. The world he was from was now a waste land. Zero stopped. He could feel a presence in the area. It seemed smaller than him and weaker than him too. He quickly turned around to see it was the same little tear drop headed creature. It had a big smile on its face. "I thought I left you at the house?" Zero said to the creature. "I don't have time for games. Now go!"

"Chao, Chao, Chao," the little being said.

Zero angled his eyes and continued walking on. The little creature's smile faded into a look of confusion and continued to follow him. Zero looked over his shoulder to. "Why won't it leave me alone?" he thought. He quickly drew his Z saber and pointed it at the small creature. "I'm warning you!" he yelled. The little creature let out a little smile and hugged the sword. Zero's frown faded into a little smirk. He slowly pulled his weapon away from the creature and raised his right wrist up to his face. A little holographic panel lifted from his arm. "Sending Maya."

Moments later a small monkey appeared before the other blue creature. The monkey looked at the blue creature and smiled. The monkey wrapped its arms around the blue creature and together they rolled around the ground as if they were playing. Zero couldn't believe what he saw. For the first time in a long time Zero was happy. He hadn't seen something so wonderful in a while.

"There you are came Tails' voice. Zero looked up to see Sonic and Tails. Sonic's wounds had been completely healed.

"Sonic your wounds are gone," Zero exclaimed with amazement. "Do the life forms on this planet heal so fast?"

"I'm just gifted," Sonic said with cocky look on his face. "I see that you've found a Chao. They're not usually found on this side of the island how did you get manage find one Zero?"

"A Chao?" Zero asked. "So that's what that thing is called. While we were hiking up the hill I found this thing hugging my leg."

Sonic looked down at the Chao and noticed the small creature it was with. He had never a small monkey before. "Hey Zero where did you find that animal?"

Zero looked at his the small cyber elf and snapped his fingers. The little monkey's ears twitched as it ran over Zero's side and climbed up to his shoulder. "This is a Cyber Elf. Remember the thing I told you about, you the Baby Elf."

Sonic thought for a moment trying to remember. Then it hit him. He gave Zero a quick nod.

"Well the Baby Elf is just one many of the beings we call Cyber Elves. How about we talk more about this at Tails' Workshop?" And with that the three walked back to the work shop.

This is the only short chapter you'll find in this story.
