Chapter 3: Welcome to Dark Mobius
The group walks up to the entrance of a temple before stopping for a minute "This is the place." Rage says
"The Gate is past here?" Shadow asks
"Yeah…" Rage answers "I can feel it…" he then runs in the others soon following. Inside was a large hall with a circular structure in the center.
"Okay….so how do we open it?" Sonic asks
"These Gates were made by The Chaos Guardians during The Shadow War. They could hold open a Chaos Control rift for a long period of time. However in order to protect them a security measure was added only a Chaos Guardian can open it." Rage explains walking up "Stand back." He warns "I don't know what will happen." The others take a few steps back as Rage summons his Blade of Chaos and slices the air in a pattern. Soon the gate glowed as a portal opened. Rage jumps in without a second to lose and quickly the others follow him.
On the other side they land in a small plain outside of a small town. The sky was a dark purple and the moon a blood red. "Is this Dark Mobius?" Sonic asks and Rage nods.
"Yes." He answers "Very few from Mobius have ever stepped foot here. Be wary ever since Nix was the ruler of this land Dark Spawns have roamed free."
"What about the citizens?" Shadaze asks as they start walking
"He doesn't care for the ones who do not worship him." Rage says with disgust in his voice "When I arrived here the first time most were happy to see a Chaos Guardian."
"Why would they be happy?" Sonic asks
"Because they knew I was there to kill Nix, and now… I hope for the same…" Rage answers before they hear a clank
"That sounded like…" Blade begins
"An Eggman robot?" Sonic asks before a scream was heard
"That's no accident!" Rage says as they run in the direction of the scream to see a pile of scrap metal around a group of citizens. "What?" Rage asks as he notices a shadow slipping away. "Sonic!" he calls running off and the blue hedgehog soon joins him
"What is it?" Sonic asks as they jump over some rubble
"Look." Rage says as he points to the moving shadow. "We have to catch them."
"Roger that." Sonic says as they split up and follow the figure soon leading it to an alley. Finally the two got a look at her face. Before them stood a dark pink female hedgehog with quills kind of like Amy but longer the tips highlighted with a mahogany color matching the eye shadow. Her eyes a deep green like the kind you would see on a military uniform. She wore a one strap top, jet black with some mahogany and military green on it. A jean skirt covered her legs a bit held up by a silver belt with a black center line. Her shoes were black boots with silver socks protruding up some. Her hands and legs had rings similar to Shadow. She put her hands that were covered in black fingerless gloves to her sides and drew two sais for battle.
"Hay hold up!" Rage says as she swings them at him and he dodges the attack.
"We are not your enemy!" Sonic says
"Is that so?" she grunts leaping for Sonic and slicing him.
"Arg!" he grunts feeling a cool liquid on the wound "What…is…this?" he asks feeling numb
"Don't worry only a paralysis poison." She says "Why were you following me?" she asks Rage
"We saw you slip away from the destroyed robots. Well I did, naturally I got suspicious about it so Sonic and I gave chase. You destroyed them didn't you?" Rage replies
"Hmph looks like someone can put two and two together." She smiles "Doesn't mean I trust you, who are you red head?" she asks
"My name is Rage Chaotic the Hedgehog, I am a Chaos Guardian." Rage answers "Why did you run?"
"I thought you were the guys who serve Nix." She answers and Rage shakes his head
"No we are against him." Rage answers "Also it's Christain not Nix."
"This time I'll go quietly Rage the Hedgehog but if we meet again…do not expect to be so lucky." She smirks before leaping onto a rooftop and vanishing. Rage then runs over to Sonic and begins using his magic to heal the cobalt hedgehog before they returned to the others.
When they arrive they saw a young fox no older the 4 Rage thought standing with them. "Who's this?" Rage asks as he gets a better look. The young fox was orange, his chest white along with the tips of his tails, muzzle, ear innards. His eyes were just black and his shoes a green-white combo.
"His name is Niles Power." Blade says
"Please call me Tales." The young fox answers "I want to help you?"
"Why?" Rage asks shocked
"Because…that gray hedgehog…Christain….he took Rush from me!" Niles growls
"I dunno…" Rage says
"Please?" the fox begs "I have nowhere else to go!" Rage stands silent
"Well Rage?" Shadow asks "It's your call, you're the leader here."
"Very well." Rage sighs "Perhaps he will be of some use."
"Oh thank you Rage!" Tales says "You won't regret this I promise."
"Don't worry kid." Rage smiles "I won't"
"Alight so we know Eggman's mechs are here but why?" Sonic asks "How did he get them here?"
"From what Rage told us it would be impossible." Shadaze sighs in thought
"Don't give yourself a headache over it." Blade says to Shadaze and Sonic
"My guess is they were taken by Christain." Rage suggests "I mean think about it. They are perfect for civilian control, parts or even doing small jobs. I wouldn't put it past anyone to take advantage of that."
(Meanwhile)
Christain was sitting in a throne made of a dark substance with blood red cushions. To his right was a banner with a logo of him and to his left the banner of The Dark Legion. Soon an armor clad guard walks in. "Sire, the man you have requested his here.
"Good bring him in." Christain smiles. Soon a tall figure clad in an armor black a night walks in and takes the helmet off to reveal a scaly head like one of a dragon or lizard. "So you are Obsidian Prime?" he asks
"Yeah…" was all the man said
"Well I have a certain target I want emliminated." Christain smiles
"Depends…will you pay?" Obsidian asks
"His bounty is currently one million dollars." Christain answers
"Anything else?" Obsidian asks
"Yes." Christain sighs "First of all keep your guard up and strike him when he is alone. Second the target is a slippery one and a crafty one too, avoid facing him head on. Finally bring me his head as a proof of kill."
"The target?" Obsidian asks and Christain throws him a picture
"His name is Rage Chaotic the Hegdehog." Christain explains
"Very well I will return." Obsidian answers.
(With the others)
Rage and the heroes were walking in the forest outside of the small town. They were looking for a safe place to stay for the incoming night. "How do we know day from night here?" Shadaze asks "There is always a moon out!"
"The red moon is the night moon, and the white one is for day." Rage answers before stopping.
"What's up?" Sonic asks
"Wait…" Rage says walking a few steps forward and puttinghis hands in front of him. The area around his wrists was warped as he did son and he quickly pulled back shaking his hands. "Just as I thought…"
"What is it Rage?" Tales asks
"A containment barrier." Rage sighs summoning his sword and slicing it open to see the other side was normal. "But for what?" he asks before he is knocked into. Rage looks to see a purple furred wolf with grey eyes and stands a bit taller than he did. She was wearing a black long sleeved leather jacket that was zipped up and black shorts with boots trimmed in silver. On her right wrist is a black bracelet that seems to be infused to her skin. She was panting and in her hand was a black gemstone. Behind her were Dark Spawns and she hides behind Rage panicking as he puts his sword out for combat.
"What are those things?" Shadow asks
"Dark Spawns." Rage replies leaping at them and destroying them in quick sword moves. "Weak ones at that." He sighs before looking at the wolf "Why were they after you?" he asks
"Cause of this." She answers showing Rage the stone and he looks at it curiously before he senses it…
"This is a…Dark Chaos Emerald." Rage says in shock "But how?"
"A Dark Chaos Emerald?" Sonic asks
"Yeah or The Dark Emeralds." Rage sighs "They are a legend in Dark Mobius but they were said to have been destroyed in the Shadow War in order to open the way to Mobius."
"Then how did this stranger come across it?" Shadaze asks
"I am Spark thanks for asking." She says rudely "If you must know I stole it from a guy named Christain the Dark."
"Christain?!" Rage looks at her. "That was a grave mistake…"
"Why?" she asks
"Christain will not go about that loss quietly he will hunt you down Spark." Rage warns
"Then let me come with you." She says "please?" Rage stands there before nodding.
"Come on guys I think I see cave up ahead!" Rage says as they run up into the cave and Rage stops them. "I'll scout on ahead wait here." he says walking in and lighting his hand for fire. A few minutes in Rage feels some energy nearby and sighs "I know you're there." He says "Come on out." Rage then watches a blast of shadow energy fly form him but he rolls out of the way. "Who's there?!" he yells before a sword flies up to him but he dodges it and hits his attack with a gut shot. The foe looks up and slices again as Rage blocks the attack "Chaos Lance!" Rage yell throwing a Chaos Lance at his enemy who grunts in pain as the clatter of armor could be heard. "This time I'll let you live…" Rage says "Next time…I might kill you." He then walks to the entrance to let the others know it was safe and they all got in the cave for the night.
