Chapter 6: Light and Darkness Part 1

My name is Icezer Chaotic Rage should be doing this but if you missed last time he is in the hospital! Well it has been about a week since then. Knowing Rage he will be back in action soon anyways he and I met Dark Gaia and Mephilies after a heated battle Rage was victorious. Why are we battling them? Well I don't know since I just joined up with him but rumor has it that Christain one of Nix's old allies has decided to either continue what Nix started or and what I think he would do; restore Nix so that they may take over the light versions of Mobius. Why is Rage doing it and not Sonic? Well Sonic is here but Rage kind of has to it's his job. Well here we are at Kaiden's hideout. Rage met him a few years back when he took care of Nix. Kaiden and his friends are enemies of Nix and get this Kaiden is Nix's own son! Well here we go…

The group was sitting around a table with a holographic map of Dark Mobius projected on it. "So where is it Christain is hiding?" Blade asks

"Good question…" Kaiden replies "I have reason to believe that they are hiding in the old Dark Legion Fortress."

"Dark Legion?" Rouge asks

"Sounds like trouble." Sonic says

"Dark Legion?" Icezer asks as if he had heard the name before. "I think I read about them… the group that destroyed the Chaos Guardians during The Shadow War right?"

"Correct and Nix, my father was the last surviving member. He had tried to rebuild it but Rage stopped him early before he could take the world over. My father used to be a righteous man…but darkness corrupted him." Kaiden sighs "The power of The Dark Legion was great and their fortress still resonates it so if like Icezer suspected Christain wants to restore Nix then that is where they would be… however there is one other place."

"Where?" Shadaze asks

"I dare not speak of it…" Kaiden says "It is a forbidden place. A dark place."

"Tell us!" Icezer says

"The Caverns of Shadows…" he sighs as the door to the room opens and Liam another friend walks in with Rage behind him.

"Hay Kaiden Rage just arrived." He says

"Heh how convenient." Kaiden smiles as Rage and Liam sit down. "Anyways…The Caverns of Shadow is a dark place the place where Dark Energy is born and where the darkest of beings are forged… the dark energy is so potent it corrupts anything that enters…except there is one group from the worlds of light who can safely traverse these caves with no negative side effects." He then points at Rage "Only Chaos Guardians have been able to enter these caverns meaning should Christain be attempting to restore Nix within these caverns Rage only you can enter them and stop Christain and his allies."

"Something doesn't add up though" Rage says "Christain wasn't like this when I met him. I met him during my fight against Nix and he was against him too. Christain went as far as betraying Nix because he cared for the people of Dark Mobius not Nix's desires."

"For real?" Kaiden asks "Then there is only one other possibility."

"Nix corrupted Christain." Rage finished

"How do you know?" Liam asks

"I sensed a dark energy that felt like Nix's but I destroyed him and locked him in the Time Void a few years back. So how could Nix be here? Simple during his last moments he corrupted Christain so that he would be able to be resurrected later." Rage explains

"So what do we do?" Sonic asks

"I suggest we work on finding the Dark Emeralds first. Then we worry about Christain." Kaiden answers

"Right cause' as long as those exist Christain and all of his pals have more power." Liam notes

"So it's settled we look for the Dark Emeralds." Rage says standing up

"Are you sure you're in any condition to leap back into everything Rage?" Shadaze asks

"Shadaze has a point" Spark says "You looked pretty bad."

"I am fine." Rage sighs "I have a faster regeneration rate then a normal person." Rage answers "After all time is not on our side. The longer we wait the more likely Nix could be back."

"Damn he's right." Spark says "I don't know who this Nix guys is but I have heard he is a terrible man powerful as well."

"Well what you heard is not wrong." Kaiden sighs "My father is an evil monster."

"Even in his own son's eyes he is a monster." Tales says "He must be really bad then."

"You have no idea…Rage might because he is the only one who faced his full might. Nix is a monster that needs to be kept away at all costs his power is of no equal and only a full powered Chaos Guardian will be able to kill him should he be revived." Kaiden explains

"Well good thing we got Rage." Sonic says with a smirk

"Were you paying attention at all Sonic?" Spark asks "Rage is not a full powered Chaos Guardian yet he told us before back in the hospital!"

"Spark is right Sonic… I still have a lot to learn and so little time to do it." Rage agrees with Spark

"So what?" Sonic asks "With help from the rest of us you won't have to be!"

"Sonic do you understand the magnitude of this situation?" Rage asks

"It can't be that bad if a 16 year old is supposed to take care of it." Sonic smirks

"I may be 16 Sonic but I have more power then you!" Rage replies "Your arrogance is what will get you killed someday!"

"That's enough both of you!" Liam shouts "If any of us want to survive to see past this we need to work together not fight amongst ourselves!" he then looks at Rage "Now Rage do you know where we can find the Dark Emeralds? Can you sense anything?"

"I can sense a very powerful dark energy nearby in the mountain to the the west." Rage answers "But it could be anything."

"It's our best lead." Kaiden says "Christain has them guarded by a powerful warrior as wellso be on your toes."

"We already took one down." Sonic says "So that would mean 6 are left."

"Congrats Sonic you can math." Icezer says as the group packs up and exits the house

"How do we get up there?" Spark asks

"Simple, we climb." Rage says grabbing on to the face of the mountain

"Y-You guys go ahead I will stay here." Tales says shaking

"Whatever, that's your choice." Liam says grabbing a ledge.

"Incoming!" a voice yells as a blur smacks into the face of the mountain knocking the others down. Well excepr Rage since he was leaping and bounding up. But he notices the cash and leaps back down. The group looks then to see a large figure as the dust clears they could see he was purple & orange colored with teal, red, gray, blue, pink, silver, & gold streaks all over his fur & a fin, a eye patch over his left eye, 10 belly button rings, a gold nose ring, a yin-yang marking on his forehead, 30 lighting bolt shaped scars across his chest, gold wings with silver tips, devils' tail & horns, a halo, & silver & gold sequined tuxedo with extra glittering

'Oh for the sake of Chaos…' Rage thinks 'Who the hell is this clown?' Rage walks up to the large guy and grabs him by the collar of his tuxedo and to everyone's surprise lifts him up. "Who the hell are you?" Rage asks "And give me a good reason I shouldn't kick your ass for nearly killing my brother."

"What about us?" Sonic asks

"Shut it." Rage says making Sonic look shocked 'he must still be mad at me' Sonic thought.

"H-hay calm down man…" the guy says

"Answer my question…" Rage says

"I-I am J-J-Jackson Louis Morgan…a p-panda sh-shark hybrid…" the rather large guys says "Look I am sorry it's not my fault you see…" was all he said before Rage threw him off to the side summoning his sword in his free hand putting it up and blocks and incoming energy blast sending it up. The blast hit the mountain a couple hundred feet up and explodes. "Hay what was-" he starts but stops when he sees the man who attacked him… a black hedgehog with purple markings on his body that seemed to be flowing with energy his blood red eyes sharing the trait.

"It has been a long time….Rage Chaotic the Hedgehog!" he laughs

"Nix…" Rage says hatred filling his voice

"Y-you know him?" Jackson asks

"Stay back…all of you." Rage says leaping for Nix with a battle cry as he slices for his mortal enemy who just moves back some. "You saved me the trouble of finding you!" Rage yells bringing his sword up grazing Nix's chin.

"You….You bastard!" Nix yells wiping the blood from the attack "You have grown…"

"What would expect Nix?" Rage responds "A hug?"

"But you are not strong enough to stop me! Once I have regains my full power I will first use it to conquer Dark Mobius again! Then…I will kill you and seize Mobius so that it may become The Dark Empire!" Nix laughs

"Too bad I won't let that happen!" Rage yells dashing for Nix and attacking again but Nix vanishes. "Come back here your coward!" Rage yells to the air

"You can face me when I am at full power!" Nix's voice echoes "Otherwise it would be no fun!" he laughs

"Fine I will kill you then." Rage grunts turning back to the mountain and leaps up on to the lowest ledge

"Hay!" Jackson yells

"What?" Rage asks looking at him

"Who are you?" he asks Rage remains silent the stern look still on his face before he closes his eyes and lightens up

"Rage Chaotic the Hedgehog The Chaos Guardian." He answers "I am battling Nix."

"Let me join you!" Jackson requests

"Why?" Rage asks the panda-shark hybrid

"I know that Nix was the one who killed my parents." He says

"Join the club…" Rage says "If you can keep up." He says as they start climbing. It was silent before Rage speaks up "How long ago did he kill them?" he asks loudly so he could be heard over the winds.

"A little over 400 years ago!" he says over the raging winds "I am 428, you?"

"About 5 years ago! I am 16." Rage answers as they finally summit and see a cave in front of them.

"Well here goes nothing…" Shadaze says as Icezer gulps at the dark cave mouth
