Blitz meets some old friends!

Chapter 5: The Brotherhood of Thieves

The trio passed by a tree with a long vine when Blitz stopped.

" What's up?" Phantom asked.

" There's some business I need to take care of… Wait right here." Blitz ordered as he walked to the tree and pulled the vine. A doorway opened up in a nearby bush and Blitz entered. Inside the bush was a who's-who of bandits, thieves, and burglars eating and drinking. A silver chao sat in a throne overseeing it all.

"Hey, what's up Brother Blitz?" A gray chao asked with a red chao and an orange one.

" Yo Blade, Mauve, Sienna! Can I talk to you for a second?" Blitz replied. The group went into a small room beside the main hall.

" What's going on, Blitz?" Mauve asked.

" Yeah man, what's the big secret?" Blade questioned.

" Well, I'm gonna leave the Brotherhood pretty soon. I have something I need to do." Blitz answered.

" You know the rules, only King Ashnard decides whether or not to let you go. Besides, didn't you fail to lift those legendary swords?" Sienna reminded. Blitz said nothing as he walked up to the silver chao sitting on the throne.

" King Ashnard, I need to travel to the Scrap Brain Zone." Blitz requested.

" Blitz, you have failed your mission. You were supposed to steal the Dragon Fang, the Angelfire, and the Muramasa. Request denied." Ashnard requested.

" Either you give me permission, or I'll beat it out of you!" Blitz growled as he pulled out a pair of kunais and held them at the ready. Everyone in the hall went silent and stared at the challenger.

" You fool! You dare to threaten me, Ashnard the king of thieves? You will soon learn that those who oppose me don't live to do much else! Have at you!" the enraged king roared and unsheathed his sword. Everyone gathered around the two combatants as they circled each other.

Outside the hideout, Frost's eyes widened.

" What's wrong?" Phantom asked.

" There is a fight going on in there. Blitz is in it and he needs help!" Frost exclaimed. Phantom unsheathed both the Dragon Fang and the Angelfire. The white chao tossed the Angelfire to his companion and they both broke down the doorway to the hideout. What they saw was unbelievable: Blitz was wounded and was blade-locked with Ashnard's sword.

"Give it up, Blitz! Surrender and I'll overlook this little rebellion." The king of thieves ordered. Phantom unsheathed the Muramasa and threw it across the room into the waiting hands of Blitz. As soon as the blue chao gripped the hilt, the blade began to glow with a purple aura.

"What happened? The sword is glowing!" Blade exclaimed.

" T-that's the Muramasa! It gains power from the wielders suffering. The more abuse you take, the more power the sword dishes out!" Mauve exclaimed. Blade picked up a pipe lying on the ground and snuck up behind King Ashnard who was getting beaten by Blitz and his new sword. The king's sword shattered when he tried to slice through the Muramasa's cursed blade.

" We must aid the king!" one bandit yelled to his buddies but was stopped by Phantom who used the flat of the blade to knock him out. Frost plunged the sword into the floor and caused a shockwave to rip through the hideout while overturning tables and toppling pillars.

" Looks like this is checkmate, Ashnard! The Brotherhood is over!" Blitz yelled. Ashnard suddenly dropped to the ground with Blade standing behind him with a pipe. The rest of the Brotherhood fled from their former hall except for a red chao and an orange one.

" Yo, Blitz! Nice work on that rumble!" Mauve cheered.

" You were telling us about going to do something. Count us in." Sierra stated.

" Nice work! You now are the new king of thieves!" Blade whooped.

" No, I am a thief no more. Come on, guys! It's time to show Robotnick what happens when he messes with chao!" Blitz yelled as everyone ran outside and out of the Green Hill Zone.
