Hello everybody! I realized after reading some reviews about one of my one shots that some of my data was a little off. Some of the things I had written weren't even possible. I'll try to make sure that in the next one shot that I try to stick to things that could possibly happen. But enough about that, here's the next chapter.

Rise of the Chosen One

Chapter 9: Enter the eternal guardians

Road to the Yellow Chaos Shrine: Zaos's POV

"Lightning eh? Nothing heard of him." I responded. Why this fox would ask a random stranger where her 'colleague' is seemed strange to me. But then again, that's what any other Mobian would do. "I see…He must not be heading to this Shrine then, sorry to bother you." Frost went to turn away but was stopped by Kaiza. "Hold on, how exactly do you know about the Chaos Shrines?" Kaiza asked the girl. She turned around and answered very bluntly, "It would be pretty hard to miss huge Shrines in the middle of giant plains." After she answered she walked away, making Kaiza look like a fool. Though we kept walking forward I had a feeling that he wasn't entirely convinced.

Road to the Blue Chaos Shrine: Sonic's POV

Me and the rest of the gang, Lightning now including, continued to walk down the road with a new objective, recover Lightning's memory. We continued to walk until we saw a city up ahead. "Hey is that…" Tails began to say, however it was Lightning who finished, "Central City…It was where I was captured, I think." He said as he continued to walk toward the city. I shrugged and followed him into the city.

Central City

We continued to walk down the streets of Central City wondering how being here was going to help Lightning regain his memories. What I also wondered is how I could never notice the huge Shrine a couple miles away from Central City ever before. "Was that always there?" I asked as I looked at the Blue Chaos Shrine in the distance. "No Sonic, the Shrine's only appeared one month before this all began. It would be fairly hard to locate them before that considering that the Shrine was located hundreds of feet underground." Just as Larnet finished and explosion was heard in the distance.

"Oh that can't be good." I said as we all ran toward the explosion to find none other then the fat man himself. "Hello Sonic and you too Lightning." Eggman said pointing at the yellow hedgehog. "Eggman, what the hell did you do with my memories?" Lightning yelled pointing a finger at Eggman. "It's simple really; I just blocked them from being accessed by your brain using the little device that used to be on your head. However now that it's off they should come back soon. Too bad you'll be dead before then." As Eggman finished his sentence his Egg-Mobile morphed into his Egg-Walker and he land a couple yards in front of us, next to another familiar robot. "Metal Sonic!" I yelled pointing at the blue robot. "Metal Sonic, you take care of Sonic. I'm going to destroy Lightning!" Eggman yelled as he shot a few homing missiles toward Lightning.

Lightning jumped into the air to avoid them but the missile continued to follow him as he tried to outrun them. Metal Sonic lunged forward and took a wild swipe at me but I leaned backwards to dodge it. However I cringed in pain from the wounds that I had received in the previous battle. This cost me as Metal Sonic spun on his hands and kicked me in the chest, causing me to fly backwards. I regained my balance just in time to see Lightning lead two missiles toward him, then jumped upwards causing the missiles to collide with each other and explode. He then ran toward Eggman and dodged a few bullets and kicked his Egg-Walker, causing it to stumble backwards. I had to jump backwards to avoid another kick from Metal Sonic and I rebounded off a building, using the momentum to head butt Metal Sonic. This knocked him back but not without causing pain to myself as well.

"Ah damn it!" I yelled holding my head in pain. This also happened to be the worst possible time for my previous injures to start acting up again, as I coughed up a reasonable amount of blood on the ground. Lightning turned around to see this happen, "Sonic!" He was about to run toward me only to be shot through his torso by Eggman. "Ha! I got you!" Eggman yelled as Lightning fell to the ground in pain. Metal Sonic was about to blast me point blank with a laser when a certain two tailed fox tackled him. "Leave Sonic alone!" Tails yelled as he went tumbling down the street along with Metal Sonic. Metal never got the chance to retaliate as Tails hit him with his namesakes. Metal was also hit over the head with a rather large hammer. "You stop hurting my Sonic! You hear me you hunk of junk?" Amy yelled as she used her hammer like a baseball bat and sent Metal flying into a building.

Tails then pulled out an arm cannon he had been hiding in one of his tails. "What the hell? Tails when did you get that?" I yelled as he pointed the cannon at Metal Sonic. "Just finished building it!" He responded as he fired a rather large blast at Metal Sonic. Metal looked at the blast coming at him and sweat dropped before he was hit dead on by the blast. As it cleared Metal Sonic was still standing, but was heavily damaged, he wouldn't be fighting anytime soon. "What about Lightning?" I yelled looking over to where he was.

2 minutes earlier, Lightning's POV

I lied on the ground in massive pain. The fat ass had just shot me! I clutched my chest in pain, right where the bullet had entered my torso. Eggman approached me and pointed the gun at my head, "This is where it ends you little rat." Eggman said in a deathly calm voice. But before he could ever pull the trigger the gun literally exploded in his hands! Eggman had pulled his hand back before it could be scorched and looked over in the direction from where the blast had come from. He was looking straight at one pissed off looking Saiyan.

"How many times do I have to tell you Eggman? Stop messing around with this prophecy for your own damn good!" Larnet yelled as he approached me and the scientist. During this time something crazy happened, the bullet that was in my chest popped right back out and as soon as it did the wound healed itself! Larnet stopped and looked at where the wound used to be for a second before he muttered something to himself. He then looked back at Eggman, "The only thing that keeps me from killing you is that it could affect the timeline of events. However you've almost killed a Chosen One candidate…" He said pointing toward Sonic, "…And a guardian of Mobius." He said pointing toward me. My mind filled with questions, what did Larnet know? What is a guardian of Mobius? I would have to ask him later. "So if you keep it up I'm afraid I'll have to kill you anyway, timeline or no timeline." Larnet said in a threatening manner. Eggman grunted and instantly retreated. Metal Sonic followed him.

"What about Lightning?" I heard Sonic yell from over to my left. He turned and looked at me, only to see me perfectly fine with no injury. "What? But that doesn't make any sense." Sonic said as he approached me and Larnet. Larnet seemed to know what was going on though, "He is a guardian of Mobius. Lightning, this might sound strange to you but you've more than likely lived a few hundred years if not more." He said and everybody but Larnet and I gasped. "What? But that's not physically possible!" Tails yelled. But Larnet just shook his head, "You should know by now Tails that nothing is impossible. Lightning has been guarding the planet for a couple hundred years along with two others known as…" Larnet never got the chance to finish that sentence as I said, "Flare and Frost." Immediately I remembered everything. I was a guardian capable of using lightning and helped to guard the planet from major disasters, with Frost the Fox and Flare the Echidna.

"Wait a minute…You're saying that Lightning is…" Sonic began but Larnet cut him off. "He's immortal Sonic, al least when it comes to aging, which he doesn't age. But he can be killed, right Lightning?" Larnet asked me matter of factly. I answered rather quickly, "Yes Larnet, I can very well be killed and many people, or should I say monsters have tried over the years. None have ever succeeded." Larnet seemed to ponder this over for a minute. During this time I looked down the street only to spot somebody who would take this situation completely the wrong way.

"Uh oh." Was all I had time to say before she spotted us. Frost looked directly toward me and began to walk our way. Larnet had heard me and looked over his shoulder only to be met with a boot to thee face. I had to stop Frost from hurting them any more then she already had. "Hold on, Frost stop!" I yelled at the ice blue fox. She turned her head toward me and then looked back at Larnet who was picking himself off the ground. "Not exactly the best hello I've had in a while…" Larnet said as he stood up. I looked back and forth between the two, wondering if they were going to start fighting. I stepped in the middle of the two, "Alright hold on for a second, Frost? Can I talk to you for a second?" I asked leading the girl away from everybody else. "What is it Lightning?" She asked me. I explained to her that these were the people that had helped me recover my memory when it was sealed away by Eggman, and they were my friends.

The thing she said next kinda upset Sonic, "Ha! Are you really so much of an idiot that you can't stop one obese scientist?" She said out loud while laughing. Sonic was pretty angry then, "Hey, Lady! I don't know who you think you are but I doubt you could do any better!" Sonic yelled at Frost. Frost's expression turned from calm to angry in 2.5 seconds. "Really? How about you back up that claim. I challenge you Sonic the Hedgehog." Frost said while advancing toward Sonic. "Gladly." Sonic said before trying to Spin Dash Frost. Big mistake, Frost used an ice blast to knock Sonic back and seal him against a wall. She teleported in front of him and prepared to pummel him until her hand was caught.

"Try your hand against me." Larnet said before tossing her away from Sonic. He was out cold from the one blast. Frost looked up at Larnet before responding, "Fine if you want to die instead of the hedgehog then I'll oblige." "First we should move out of the city, you know as well as I do that if we fight here too many innocent lives will be lost." Larnet responded before pointing at a large field out of the city. They both flew toward it while the rest of us followed. This wasn't going to end well.

Field outside of Central City: Larnet's POV

Frost and I touched down on the ground before Frost charged me. I quickly jumped into the air to avoid a kick and launched a blast down toward her. She batted it away with ease and sent an ice blast three times the size of mine toward me. I phased out of site to avoid the blast and phased in right next to her. I tried to kick her but she caught my kick and threw me toward the ground a few yards away. I slowly stood up from the impact in a little bit of pain. "Now do you see the difference in our power?" Frost asked me. I sensed her power level to be somewhere in the area of 900,000. "He, sorry to burst your bubble but I've been holding back!" I yelled and brought myself into a power-up stance. I began screaming at the top of my lungs as a red aura surrounded me. That aura slowly began to turn gold. "What is this power?" Lightning yelled as he watched the fight. Even Frost seemed a bit worried. A few seconds later my power level skyrocketed and my fur became a deep gold, my eyes were an emerald green like Sonic's. "This is what we Saiyan's call, a Super Saiyan." I said smugly as I looked at Frost. She had powered up to her max which was a power level of 1,150,000. My power level was 1,200,000. This was going to be a rather close fight.

I charged toward Frost and threw a series of punches, which she continued to dodge. I changed tactics and kicked her in the stomach then grabbed her head and tossed her into the air. She recovered and shot three quick ice blasts toward me. I rolled to the left to avoid them and shot a few of my own blasts at her. She dodged the first three but was hit by the fourth and fifth ones. She fell toward the ground but flipped in midair and landed on her feet. I ran at her and tried to punch her in the face but she swayed her head back and managed to kick me in the chest, sending me backwards a few steps. She then punched me a few times in the stomach before I caught her wrist and slammed her into the ground. I then punted her in the stomach which caused her to fly through the air. She recovered and began to charge up a huge ice blast. "Let's see you try and dodge this!" She yelled and launched the blast toward me. I just smirked, "Won't need to, KAMEHAMEHA!" I yelled as I quickly thrust the blue beam forward. It completely destroyed the ice blast and hit Frost dead on as she floated there in stunned silence. A huge explosion followed soon after.

I powered down before saying, "I win."

That's all for this chapter. I will write another one tomorrow. See ya then!
