Chapter 4: New World… Again.
Shadow: Now is Chapter 3 of Defenders. But before we start this chapter we need a brief recap.
Dani: Okay so last time Nightwing and Katara met Ben Tennyson and he took them to the Plumbers base in Space. Ben and Katara then learned that Nightwing dated Gwen while she lived in Gotham City. On another world Sonic found a similar artefact to the one Nightwing, Ben and Katara had and he touched it at the same time that Nightwing did and then flash of red light and the three main characters gone.
Shadow: Now we can continue with the Defenders and by looking at the title of this chapter I bet you will understand what will happen in some of this chapter.

The famous blue hedgehog stood up and looked around the area he was in. He noticed that the tower he was in a few minutes ago had disappeared and he was back in the grassy green plains of Green Hill Zone… but the hedgehog wasn't alone.
Lying unconscious on the floor were three humans. As Sonic walked close to them he noticed the watch on one of the humans scanned him.
"Whoa, where did these guys come from and what happened to the tower?" Sonic asked and then he noticed the artefact in their hand. "And why do they have the same sphere that I have?"
"SONIC." Sonic heard a voice yell and he turned around and saw his buddy Tails coming in his new plane that was conveniently large enough to carry 3 unconscious teenagers and two anthropomorphic animals.
"Hey Tails." Sonic said.
"I saw the explosion and I came as quickly as possible." Tails said. "What happened?"
"I saw a tower pop out of the ground and I found this thing inside it and when I touched it the place exploded and now those humans are oddly placed here." Sonic said. "Strangely enough they have a sphere that looks exactly like the one I found."
"That is suspicious. I think we should take them with me back to my laboratory back in Spagonia." Tails said. "Maybe there we can wake them up and figure out about the two spheres."
Sonic then helped Tails load the three teens onto the plane but when Tails got close to the kid with the watch he also go scanned by the watch. Tails then took a look at the design of the watch and realised it was the famous Omnitrix so this was the famous Ben 10.
They then took off in Tails' high speed plane and they flew to city known as Spagonia.
~00000~
Nightwing, Katara and Ben awoke all around the same time and noticed that they were each in nice comfortable beds.
They then saw a two tails anthropomorphic yellow fox wearing an apron walk in with breakfast.
"Oh you guys are awake." The fox said. "I thought you would be K.O'd for longer seeing as you have been asleep for three days."
"Three days?" Ben and Katara asked.
"Who are you? Where are we?" Nightwing asked, but in chilled way.
"I am Miles Prower but everybody calls me Tails, and you guys are in my guest chalet for humans above my lab in Spagonia." Tails said. "My friend Sonic and I brought you here after we found you unconscious in Green Hill Zone. We also discovered that you guys had an artefact similar to the one he had found in that exact area."
"Thank you." Katara said. "Do you know what our artefact is?"
"I don't know. I spent the three days you were unconscious trying to find information about the artefact but I found nothing." Tails said.
"Hey Tails are the others up yet?" Sonic asked as he dashed into the room.
Tails then gestured to the now awake teenagers. "Why do you ask Sonic?" Tails asks.
"Because there are some very strong robots coming this way because the artefact that they apparently have, and it looks like they aren't coming to be nice." Sonic said.
Just as Sonic said this they heard an explosion of energy outside.
Sonic, Katara, Ben and Nightwing then ran outside while Tails stayed inside to work on something.
They saw large robots that were about the size of a 1 story building. The robots were constructed as humanoids that looked like they were in body armour. Their colour scheme was black and silver, the body armour being black and the rest of the robots were silver. They looked every threatening and intimidating. There was one part of the robots that on the other hand didn't look very intimidating. There was a dial on their centre chest that had four weird symbols. The problem was Katara recognised those symbols and she cringed when the dial changed to the red symbol.
"Accessing Fire Benders." The lead robot said.
The robots then shot out blasts of fire towards the teens and if it hadn't been for Katara's quick interjection of pulling water out of the air and making it into ice then they would have been fried.
Ben then dialled the Omnitrix before he found the Alien he could use to attack.
"If you can't beat em, join em." Ben said before he slapped down the Omnitrix. "Heatblast!" Heatblast yelled as the green flash died down.
Heatblast then started attacking with a lot of pyrokinetic, Katara then jumped in and started used her hydrokinetic attacks. Nightwing and Sonic then took attacking from above. If they were to head straight into the battle then they'd be burned alive.
Katara tried using her sword to attack but it broke quickly and Sonic noticed that.
"Yo Kat… wait here I'll get you a new sword." Sonic said.
"Kat?" Katara asked while raising an eyebrow as Sonic ran towards some other area.
"Give us the artefacts humans and you won't have to die." One of the Robots said.
"You are not whelmed if you think we would give them to you" Nightwing said.
"Fine, accessing Earthbenders." The robots said. The robots then launched earth attacks at the three teens.
Ben then decided to change aliens into Armodrillo, and luckily this alien was more effective against the robots.
Sonic then came running back with a sword in hand. The sword had a silver blade that seemed to glow and a white hilt but the most iconic thing about the sword was that symbol for the Water Tribes in Katara's home world was on the hilt.
"Hey Water girl, catch." Sonic said before he threw it.
Now, one does not simply throw a sword and expect it to not harm the person on the receiving or anyone around but this sword was different. As the sword flew through the air it cut into several robots, without stopping, and destroyed them all before it turned around and the hilt landed safely in the hands of Katara before she accidently cut the head off of a robot.
"Wow good throw." Katara said quietly before she continued to attack.
Within a matter of time they had managed to destroy most and drive away the other robots. And now they were sitting inside Tail's living room discussing the manner of events.
"Okay so now we know that there is someone else who wants these artefacts… but who?" Ben said.
"What worries me is how they got the secrets to the bending of the elements that are in my world." Katara said. "I especially know that no one could have built those or sent them here."
"Actually, Katara I wanted to ask about that." Nightwing said. "When we were back in the Bermuda Triangle your bending was more powerful and more focused. What happened here?"
"I don't know. It felt like half of my power was cut off." Katara asked. "If it wasn't for this sword Sonic gave me I wouldn't have been able to fight."
"Actually that sword is also a head scratcher. When we went up to the Plumbers HQ and you explained your world you showed me the symbols for the four nations. Then how did Sonic happen to get a sword with the exact symbol for the Watertribe?" Ben asked.
"Well a while ago I was sucked into an alternate world with knights and all that." Sonic said. "At the end of my adventure in there my friend Merlina gave me another sword, the one I gave Katara, to say she was sorry for the trouble she caused."
"Wait Katara you said your powers were dimmed right and those robots were using the same bending styles that your people use right?" Tails asked.
"Yeah." Katara said.
"Where exactly does your power come from?" Tails asked.
"Well the first waterbenders learned from watching how the moon pushed and pulled the tides of the waves." Katara explained.
"Wait the moon?" Sonic asked. "Tails didn't Eggman blow up half of our moon?"
"Yes then he replaced that half of the moon with another half made completely out of metal." Tails said. "And the robots could apparently waterbend a lot better than Katara could."
"Wait, are you telling me that your arch nemesis was working with those robots preparing for when Katara would be on this planet?" Nightwing asked.
"No. You see over 70 years ago a space colony was made for the purposes of science. Then 50 years ago an ultimate life form known as Shadow the Hedgehog was created. But that same year Shadow's best friend died upon the ark and he was sent to earth. He wanted revenge on our planet because he blamed us for the death of Maria so he joined up with Eggman." Tails explained. "Eggman wanted to use the Eclipse Cannon on the Ark to threaten the world into submission while Shadow wanted nothing less but absolute destruction of the planet. That plan accidently backfired when they shot the moon."
"Later on Eggman tried to get the world to forgive him by trying to fix the moon..." Sonic said. "… but Eggman had been captured by one of his inventions and was in able to do that."
"So you think that those robots might have somehow rigged that whole thing just to make sure that killed Katara. To have her weakness." Nightwing said. "Then we might have to check out the Space Colony Ark for clues."
"Then I guess we have to go find Shadow." Sonic said.
~00000~
They then travelled to the city known as Soleanna where there was conveniently a GUN base located.
Sonic knew that the place was large and he knew that only one person would know were Shadow was.
"Hey Rouge." Sonic said.
"Sonic, Tails what brings you and those guys to GUN." Rouge said.
"Where's the faker?" Sonic asked.
Before Rouge could answer Shadow appeared right in front of Sonic.
"Well if it isn't the Blue Fake himself. I heard you are looking for me. Well you found me." Shadow said before he noticed the people behind Sonic. "Hm Katara of the Southern Watertribe, Nightwing the Former Protégé of Batman and the adopted son of Batman and Ben Tennyson the wielder of the Omnitrix. All with Sonic the Hedgehog."
"Wait you know them?" Sonic asked.
"CHAOS CONTROLL!" Shadow Yelled before he, Sonic, Katara, Nightwing and Ben disappeared.
~00000~
They all appeared on the Space Colony Ark.
Shadow then began skating in one direction before he stopped.
"Do you want answers or not?" Shadow asked.
The others then followed him to the main engine of the Eclipse Cannon.
"Shadow, do you know about this artefact?" Katara asked as she followed behind.
"I know nothing. I only know what to tell you." Shadow said. "And before you ask, everyone who was on Maria knows but they all died. I know because I was programmed with this information."
"Shadow, did you really name this place Maria?" Sonic asked.
"Did Amy really name her new car the Sonic?" Shadow asked as a reply.
"True." Sonic said.
Shadow then reached the engine and opened it and on the inside they saw the water tribe symbol again.
"You see when this place was created it had one simple goal, to blow up half of the moon. But this place needed another reason so they made it a science lab. Eventually it became about the Ultimate life form and the original dream was abolished. But of course everything had gone so badly out of proportion that those Robots took control of GUN and came here and killed everything and everyone and tried to kill me but because of my immortality and the fact that Maria sent me to earth stopped their plans momentarily." Shadow said. "They then decided to manipulate Eggman into doing their bidding and the moon died. But because of a special mark they placed in this engine there was something left on the moon, some kind of electronic water. Then they fixed the moon and would you look at that professional waterbenders."
"Shadow, who built them?" Nightwing asked.
"Don't know, nor do I care." Shadow said before he took out one of their artefacts and tossed it into their hands and took out the other one and started pressing buttons. "But what I do know is that there is meant to be 6 of you, so look for he who walks between worlds and she who is artificial. You 6 have stumbled over something big and you might die. So be smart and don't die."
Shadow then threw the last artefact at the four behind them, before he teleported out of the room. Then there was a bright flash of red light and once that light disappeared they were gone.
