Chapter 4: Chaos is where the answers lie…
Wind had taken Rage and his group to a building that was once a small weapons shop that the Mystic Blades had taken residence in.
The group was sitting at a circular table made from wood they were discussing what had been happening lately however most of it was just basic non-critical, things that caught didn't seam to catch Rage's attention. Until Flux brought something interesting up;
"I heard that not far from here there is a palace of some kind, hear some of them are some kind of chaos guardian or something... heard they keep the chaos energy intact…" Flux says sipping his wine in the middle of it.
"Where is this palace?" Rage asks almost instantly, this had caught his attention for the last one of such Rage had witnessed die during an invasion against Eggman.
"About couple tens of miles to the east of here." Flux responds "But… tell me why would you have business with them? If there's one thing the are picky about who they let visit." He questions Rage
"Why, because I guard the Chaos Emeralds. I bet they may have some information on Mephilies whereabouts." Rage responds,
"Well then Id get heading there now… after that moon comes out… things get pretty ugly outside the city…" Leila says putting her empty wine glass down.
"Well then… Guess we need to be going." Rage says getting up "Thanks for the hospitality, If you need something give me a call" Rage throws a card at Wind who grabs it without turning his head away from the dart board that he had been throwing darts at.
After Rage and his group leave the city and are about a mile from the palace Alissica notices some smoke coming from their direction. "Guys that might be coming from the palace!" She says pointing
"You may be right lets go!" Rage blurts out running.
Around a half-hour later the team arrives at the palace it was on fire and only one person was standing outside.
"Hay what happened here?" Rage asks to hedgehog
"Why should I tell you what happened?" the crimson red hedgehog turns around, his red jacket flies behind him and give a glance of green tennis shoes.
"Why? Because I was told a couple of chaos guardians were living here were the Chaos emeralds giving me a false signal?" Rage asks
"Chaos Emeralds? You have them?" he asks
"all 7 of them plus the master emerald." Rage says
"Wait that must mean….. you guard them?" he asks
"Yeah, will you tell me what happened here?" Rage asks
"Yes…"
It was about a few hours ago… Quake, my brother Jake and I were having a normal day
"Say Quake, have you felt the unstable balance lately?" Jake asks
"Yes I have… it troubles me." Quake says
"What could it be?" I asked Quake
"I don't know," he says shaking his head when then he coughs up blood and falls out of his chair dead… and there was Mephilies who was suppose to be dead up on the roof beam laughing… he sets a fire on the roof and the place burns to ash…
"So, now I swear vengeance on him for killing Quake." He says. "Names Nova."
"I'm Rage, Rage the Hedgehog." Rage says
"how is Mephilies still alive?" Nova asks
"That still troubles me… I have no idea…" Rage says.
"Mind if I tag along… if your going after him that is…" Nova asks
"Sure," Rage says nodding his head.
