My loyal readers I am back with the next chapter. Thank you SonicFreak2008 for your review (as always) this chapter will be dedicated to everyone who has reviewed, or added this story to their favorites. Before I forget, there is a reason why Axle got his powers (no plot hole is involved), and about Seymour…he has that name for a reason (want a clue what it is, I chose his name after naming Axle's mom and dad (meaning that I named them after video game characters from the same game (or a game and its sequel)) their skills, and personalities are more or less the same as who they were named after, can any of you guess who they were named after (I'll be giving you a hint as to who Axle's mom was named after in this chapter) if you can than you get a cookie and an award. Oh and one last thing, if anyone gets an award through one of my stories I will have the name of the award and the name of who won it (I will now be offering an award for the first person who can tell me what I based Axle's powers off of before he gets his third power)

Chapter 6 Astral mail

The injury Tails had sustained was nothing to be worried about, so…well…no one did. After the battle Titin told Axle he would explain it all later when everyone was awake because it was night "well I called Vanilla and she's ok with Cream staying here for the night" Tails said

At this time Amy took notice of what Axle was doing "um Axle, what are you doing?" she asked

Axle was sitting next to a now sleeping Cream while humming a tune "just humming a lullaby for Cream" he replied

"It's nice, did you write it?" Amy asked

Axle just shook his head and said "no, my mom did"

"She did?" asked a now confused Tails

Without moving his head he just said "yeah she did. My mom told me she wrote when she was pregnant with me as a lullaby"

Knuckles scoffed and asked with a sarcastic tone "what, was she a song writer?"

Once again, still maintaining the position his head was in he replied "to tell you the truth, yes she was" he said emphasizing the was

Needles to say this embarrassed Knuckles quite a bit "you walked right into that one Knucklehead" Sonic said while sporting his trademark smirk

Just now getting into the spirit of it Axle (with a gleam in his eyes) said "you know, in my world echidnas are a type of anteater"

Knuckles was dumbstruck (partly because Sonic, Amy, Rouge, and yes even Shadow were laughing at him (…ok so Shadow was just chuckling but come on that's something for him right?)) "Oh does little Knuckles want an ant snacky poo?" cooed Rouge

If looks could kill than the one that Knuckles gave Axle would have killed him and still have enough power left over to destroy his ghost "you just had to give her ammo, didn't you?" Knuckles asked Axle rhetorically

For the first time this chapter Axle decided to move his head, and when he did everyone saw the big grin on his face "ammo? Oh no my friend, what I gave her is the shotgun equivalent of a rocket launcher" he replied

Knuckles was about to make a comeback (that could have and would have been used against him) but was stopped by Shadow who said "Knuckles, just quit while your 3 laps behind"

Axle didn't yet have a home so Tails let him stay with him for now (because as Axle put it "I can't crowd up the Tails mans swinging bachelor pad forever" this made Tails blush like crazy) so he went up to the room that had been made for him "well my peps, it's been real but my brain and I got to hit stage 5" (if you don't get this than don't worry you're not alone) he said before going upstairs

Sonic looked at his friends and seeking answers asked "what did he say?"

Axle came back down and replied "I had a lot of fun but I need to sleep before I crash" and after that he was upstairs again

Now they got it, which was evident by their response "oh"

Later, in his dream, when Axle was asleep. "Axle…Axle" called out a mysteries voice

Axle was scared "w-who are you, what do you want with me?!" he asked terrified

The voice just chuckled "have no fear young one for I bring thee tidings of peace and good will, I hath no intention to harm thee, for if I did than thee would be dead before knowing of my doings in it" it replied

Axle was so relieved that this voice wasn't out to get him "thank goodness…wait…but if you don't want to kill me than what do you want?"

If Axle could the face of the voice (assuming it had one) he could have sworn it was smiling "I am Maser and I am here to thee" it replied

Before this conversation went any farther Axle needed to know "um don't take this the wrong way, but are you male or female? He asked

The voice who was now known as Maser still seemed calm "no offense has been take, for none was given. To answer thy question I am male, and to answer another question that troubles thy mind; I do indeed posses my own body and am speaking to thee in thy dreams." Maser replied to the surprise of Axle "Oh what's this…it seems thy powers still very much dormant. Here…two gifts I have for thee, the first; in the morning cut thy strongest friend on the arm but not too deep, than focus thy power on the cut, the second; on the next full moon seek the Master Emerald" he said before disappearing

Whoa that's some major mumbo jumbo there, who's this Maser guy, and what's with his gifts (cut a friend?) if you can figure out his first gift than you get an award (I don't expect you to get his second since it won't make sense until Ever ever after Part 6: Fantasy quest, when I reveal who Maser is (after part 1 you won't hear from him until part 6)) Thanks again to my most loyal reader (you all know who I'm talking about by now right?) Read and review but remember if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all
