Disclaimer: I don't own neither PSO nor Sonic. If I did, you'd know, because the 3d series would actually be better than it is (it probably wouldn't, but it's nice to pretend)

A/N: Finally! The action part of this story. I can't pretend it's still going to be exciting, but I made it the best I can. And if you're wondering why it took so long for them to take down a single enemy, and why I overpowered certain techniques, it's because there's eight of them. Why I overpowered techniques (and which ones I did overpower) it's because simply of what the technique is...read the bottom AN for more info regarding this topic.

"Ok, now that we've officially 'briefed' you guys, now we actually get to go down onto the planet." Seraph explained, leading them to what looked like a wall that had two guards. As he got closer, he waved to the guards, who seemed to recognize him, for they opened up the 'wall' and they were officially surprised. All that was behind it were a set of lights, not unlike the ones they came through to get to the Principal. Behind it, an endless void.

"Wait, so we actually go down now? Finally!" Sonic said, stretching out his legs from not moving for so long.

"Yep, we go down now! We'll hit the planet in a pre-determined location. Our goal: To find what happened to Pioneer 1." Seraph said. They left one goal unspoken, a mission that was assigned to them and them alone. Find what happened to Red Ring Rico.

"Let's go! Remember peoples" Chaos got cut off by Sonic and co. "And otherworldy peoples that we don't exact know what you are yet, it's the same way to get through these lights as it was the ryuker! So watch out peoples, because Chaos is here!" Chaos yelled, startling some pedestrians near him as he ran towards the lights and suddenly vanished.

"Since Chaos basically said what was needed to be said, here we go!" Seraph said, as he too stepped through and thoroughly disappeared. Sonic went next, reliving his previous experience as he too suddenly disappeared from Pioneer 2. Amy went after 'her Sonic' and disappeared also, but leaving a bit of time for the blue blur to escape. MRU and his bulky figure went next, disappearing as well.

Chris, startled by how fast things were going suddenly said, "Can't we talk this out a bit more? I mean, don't we need more planning!? Tails!" he said as Tails went after MRU, his figure disappearing as well. Suikoshi just looked at him. "Are you gonna go or what? We'll discuss what we do when we're down there. It's how we work!" she said, suddenly smiling at him mischieviously as she pushed him into the lights. Chris, unprepared, went nowhere.

"Uhm, how was I supposed to do this again?" he asked. Suikoshi sighed and pressed a button labeled "emergency teleport". "This is how!" she smiled as Chris disappeared. She stepped into the lights, and disappeared as well.

The two guards only rolled their eyes at the groups antics. "Just another one of those days without them…" one said to the other, "just one of those days…"

--

Chaos stepped forward out of the teleporter. He looked around, not seeing too much besides overgrown trees, grasses of every kind, and bushes that could hide everything.

"Look like a forest!" he stated into the air, as Seraph stepped out of the teleporter. He had heard only a little bit of what Chaos said, and already knew that his friend was sadly suffering from Force Syndrome.

"That's why they call this place Forest, after all." Sonic stepped through, looked around, and sped off into the distance. Seraph looked at where he was, and how vanished as if gone through a teleporter. "Chaos…please tell me you saw that?"

Chaos squinted at him. "Saw what, Sonic the Hedgehog suddenly speeding off to a world unknown?"

"Uhm…yeah. How do you know he's a hedgehog though?"

Amy came through. "Because if he wasn't, there's no way he'd love me the way he does!" she said, looking around and sighing at the 'romantic scenery.'

Dull thuds sounded as MRU landed. He quickly walked to where Seraph and Chaos were, and went into sleep mode to await the rest of them. Tails came down next, having the momentum from when he was going in, going back out and with only one stride to stop, he ran straight into Amy.

"Sorry Amy, I guess I was just going too fast…" Tails apologized, quickly jumping off. A sly grin went unnoticed by everybody. 'Ha ha, payback!' he thought.

Chris stepped out looking as if he was going to fall. The teleportation for him and come completely unannounced, and thus had no time to prepare for the inevitable landing. As he landed, he tripped from the sudden impact with the ground and fell flat on his face. As he was getting up though, with the help of Amy whom Tails had helped up earlier, Suikoshi came through and landed on him.

"I'm sorry! I didn't know you there…sorry!" she stammered out, quickly moving aside and off the poor boy's body.

"It's ok, how would you have known?"

"You guys done here yet?" Sonic said, speeding up out of nowhere. Suikoshi had wide eyes at the sight of Sonic's speed, and now that they could see him again, so did Seraph and Chaos. A roar interrupted the friendly conversation and questions.

The group turned, and saw what appeared to be a massive bear marching it's way towards them. Walking on two legs, it had a massive hulking body that led directly to it's head, with arms just to the side with long claws at the end. It wasn't moving very fast, but then again it was fairly far away. Seraph and MRU went straight into a battle stance. Seraph bringing his rifle's scope to his eye and finger on the trigger, ready to fire. MRU brought his pistol up into the shooting stance, altering it slightly so his bulky frame wouldn't get in the way.

Chaos went first, launching straight towards the thing. Suikoshi followed him, flicking on her saber type weapon into a stream of supercharged yellow photons. Chaos responded in kind, still running towards it. The bear flicked it's claws at them, and barely nicked Suikoshi. Shots rang out, fired from both the pistol and the rifle. Another fire, another hit. Chaos went into the things' back and roughly stabbed it with his own weapon as Suikoshi struggled to dodge it's claws.

As the normal team went to work, the other four watched as the other team singlehandedly, and with great teamwork, took down this thing. MRU and Seraph switched timing of the shots, so while one was firing, the other let their weapons do a cool down. Suikoshi worked the distraction, while Chaos went behind. Chaos was distraction, letting Suikoshi hit it as hard as she could.

The other team worked in tandem. Like they had done this for years against this thing, and soon enough it was taken down. It's eyes blank, it fell headfirst against the ground, the claws unusable. Chaos stabbed his saber into the body, and picked something up from the ground underneath the thing.

"This, is a monomate. These are helpful. They heal you. When an item is dropped onto the ground, it forms a protective shell around it so it can't waste any. Same with weapons and armors. See this? How it's green? This represents useable item. Weapons wrap themselves in orange, and armors blue." Chaos explained, smiling at their confused faces. Seraph looked in shock at his friend.

"That was…actually coherent! This could be a recovery!" Seraph said, wondering if Chaos was finally becoming normal again. Chaos suddenly laughed.

"Now that was awesome!" he said, handing MRU the monomate. "Here you go Mroo, something in case you need it."

"What was that thing?" Amy asked, wondering if the body would suddenly come back to life to attack them all again. She had been awed and humbled by the other teams use of teamwork.

"That was called a Booma. Their basic, but still kind of tough for some reason. The only things that aren't tougher are called Rag Rappies. You'll know one when you see one, their hard to miss." Seraph explained.

Hard to miss they were, as two more loud roars echoed across the landscape. Two more Boomas, both heading straight for them. This time the new hunter team led the attack, Sonic rushing in barehanded. They didn't like the fact they had to kill, kill!, these things, but if that's what they had to do to survive, then so be it.

Amy and Chris, finally getting the idea that they were supposed to run up and start fighting it. Chris, who had actually been studying the 'saber' weapon for a while, managed to figure out to turn it on. Tails came up with them, having no idea what to do with the disc thing Chaos gave him, and with his small cane thing started whacking the Booma.

Sonic was doing the most damage, simply by spindashing into it. It's skin wasn't hard, but the muscles on the inside were. This was indeed a very powerful creature. With all four of them on it, Chris with his saber, Tails with his cane, Amy with her unactivated saber, and Sonic with his spindashing were taking quite a toll on it.

Finally, after what seemed like an infinity amount of time the beast fell to the ground and didn't get back up. Seraph, Chaos, and Suikoshi came up to the four. "Are you guys alright?" Seraph asked, looking at the lifesigns of the Booma to tell if it was really dead.

Five more roars. "Are there More of them!? How many of them are there!?" Amy screamed, wondering what was going on to make all these 'monsters'. Seraph turned around, and nodded to Chaos.

"About time!" Chaos said, bringing in his hands and charging up a large amount of heat. He brought his hands together, and spread them out again, creating a line of fire in the middle. And discharging all this at once, he pushed an invisible speck towards the incoming booma's.

For a second nothing happened. Like that spectacular show of control and technique was for naught. Then, an intense explosion coming from the center of one of the booma's, utterly destroying it. The explosion caught up with the other boomas, and they too fell to it's power.

Chaos, for his part, fell to the ground from the exertion. Tails stared wide-eyed at him, wondering if he could possibly do that as well. Chaos got back up, and simply smiled at everyone. "And that, people, is how you clear crowds. Through the use of Rafoie."

"Bragger." Seraph said simply, handing Tails another disk he found on the ground.

"Hey, I have the right to be."

"He's right, at least this time." Suikoshi said, helping Chaos to his feet.

The four others simply stared at the destruction wrought be one technique. Small fires still burned around the initial explosion, leaving almost a barred wasteland around that one area. "Hey Chaos…" Tails started, walking towards Chaos.

"Lemme guess! You were wondering if YOU could do that as well!?" Chaos interrupted, turning around and almost falling straight onto Tails.

"Uhm…yeah."

Chaos, once again, laughed. "Nope! But what you can do is this!" Chaos said, putting one arm to his side while the other arm was outstretched in front of him. Seraph, Suikoshi, and MRU just stood by, wondering how big this 'explosion' was going to be. They knew it was only going to be a basic foie, but it's still fun to pretend it's going to be a Ra technique.

Chaos's hand lit up in flames, dancing over his hands but never burning the skin. He focused on this flame, bringing it together to form a single ball of fire. And he shot it in the general direction of his outstretched arm.

"Are you saying I can do that!?" Tails asked.

"Nope! I'm saying you can do the same thing minus the little flame part in the beginning. That was just for show."

As Chaos instructed Tails on how to do the simple 'foie' and as well the simple technique 'barta' which Seraph had just given him, Sonic, Amy, and Chris went up to the three others.

"Are they all going to be this tough?" Chris asked. Suikoshi looked annoyed at him.

"Are you saying these things are tough?" she retorted.

"No…I guess not." Chris said, submitting to the pressure. Sonic and Amy just stared at him, wondering who this new Chris was and why they weren't told he was being replaced. They just shrugged it off however. The eight continued on, with Tails and Chaos talking to each other in the back.

They walked into the next area, a large clearing with a small creek running through it. They could see another area on a hill to their right. They weren't concerned about the glowing red teleporter on said hill. They were far more concerned with the three things that fell right in front of them. All three were a bright yellow, with small wings. They're most identifying feature was the small antennae on the top of their heads. As they walked closer, they suddenly got up and started walking towards the group.

"Ok, these guys are pretty slow. These are the Rag Rappies, and they're total wimps when it comes to combat. Just hit them a bunch and they'll play possum." Seraph explained, shooting one through his rifle. MRU also kept shooting with his lockgun. Chris, finally trying to 'prove his worth' to his team, suddenly charged, hoping these rappies wouldn't hate him too much for this.

It wasn't that they hated him, it's just the fact that he was the one charging. As he started to hit one, it flinched. Suddenly it went back upright, and 'pecked' Chris. One would seem like a peck wouldn't hurt anything or anybody, but this was proved wrong as Chris went flying back to the two rangers. He struggled to get up to find the one wound he gained, a deep chest wound that missed all vitals, suddenly disappearing. He looked to MRU, who simply pointed to Chaos.

It seemed that Chaos was also a healer, as he continually healed Chris' wound. "Best be careful, these things, they may not look like much, but they hurt like all hell. Which is why I'm back here instead of up there." He explained, almost smiling in a way. This 'smile' soon turned evil when all of a sudden he shot one of his foie's at the bird like things.

Luckily for it, it decided to play possum then. Unluckily for it, it wasn't believed. And soon shot at. And soon it finally relinquished it's item in hand before running back for the safety of the forest. The other two soon followed, but not without giving up their items to the unusual team of eight.

Chris panted, wondering if this is what it felt like to adventure with Sonic. Sonic and Tails have always told him of their adventures being full of fast reflexes, a ton of badniks, and overall a ton of speed. Yet this is slower, but seemed a bit…more combat than what his ideas of Sonic's stories were. He decided to approach Sonic and Tails on this issue.

"Hey…is this what your adventures are always like?" Chris asked.

"Not usually. This has a lot more blood and death than all of mine combined," Sonic shuddered at the thought of using his speed to kill things that were alive rather than save. He knew it had to happen, but it didn't mean he had to like it.

Especially since if he didn't, he was going to be most likely killed.

"So, this is unusual for you?" Seraph asked.

"Almost as unusual as being a giant pinball."

"I'm going to pretend you didn't bring that up Sonic" Tails said, who had unknowingly sent Sonic into that hell hole.

"Do we want to know?" Suikoshi asked. The group was still walking, but sometimes stories like this made the passing of time much easier.

"No…no you don't." Sonic answered. As they entered another clearing in the forest, the first thing they see is a teleporter, similar to the one they used to get to the forest in the first place, but red. Also, several wolf like beings blocked the way.

"Well…time to go to work!" Chaos said, rushing in.

A/N: well, hope people enjoyed it. Hopefully it won't get worse. So, if you have any ideas what I can do better (besides power down the RA and eventually GI techniques) then drop a review. Yes, I do realize Rafoie was extremely overpowered, but I said 'hey it's a giant explosion it should be freaking powerful'. Especially when you apply normal physics to Ragol.
