Welcome back, dear readers, to the ultimate in OC fanfics. It feels like this story is more popular then Wind of Time now, so this will be updated at a much slower rate. Don't expect some frequent updates past this point, but keep in mind that once Wind of Time is finished, you can enjoy the full fruits of this thing! Now then, let us see what is in store for Aaron now, shall we?
Chapter 4
The Chaos Fantasy
Sonic's POV
The remainder of our stay at Angel Island went by quietly. Aaron basically spent his time practicing that thing he did to kill that raptor, which he had dubbed the "Chaos Javelin". It was little more than a supped up version of Shadow's Chaos Spear, but had the additional bonus plowing right through the opponent, effectively eliminating entire rows of enemies. In due time, we were ready to head back to our place, and we headed home on the Tornado IV.
By the end of the day, he could use the Chaos Javelin perfectly, and had absolute proficiency over the standard Chaos Control. He is unable to use the Chaos Blast, or anything like that, but it was incredible to know how far he has gone in 24 hours. The next day, Tails and I found him lounging in the backyard, his sunglasses placed over his eyes for a different reason then yesterday. I walked over to him, and he only glanced at me.
"Mourning, Sonic." he greeted.
"Good mourning." I responded. "Penny for your thoughts?"
"I think your body is about to go through a whole lot of reconfiguration."
This freaked me out a little, but at least he had something going on. "What makes you say that?" I asked him.
"Chaos Fantasy." was the simple reply.
"W-What?"
"Chaos Fantasy. That's the umbrella term for the more… unbelievable skills I have." He slowly got up and indicated a tree not too far from where we were. "Watch that tree, carefully." I focused on the tree, as Aaron began his performance of one of his Chaos Fantasies. "Chaos Fantasy: breath." I heard him say. The tree started to vibrate, and suddenly the leaves and fruit exploded into a field of confetti. I heard Aaron groan in annoyance at this. Obviously, that was not what was supposed to happen.
"What was supposed to happen?" I asked him. He steamed for a few minutes, exlaining that the "Breath" variation is used to animate plants and nonliving objects. "I can't seem to get the hang of any of these abilities." He fumed at this sad observation. I placed a caring hand on his shoulder. This obviously upset him, so I suggested he try something else, volunteering to be a guinea pig for the next ability. Aaron was unsure about this, but eventually conceded. I stepped a little away from him, and he prepared another technique.
Aaron's POV
I didn't trust my ability to allow Sonic to be a test subject for the Fantasy, but he was dead set on this, and I had learned by now that there is no arguing with him. I decided to try the Gemini variation this time. The idea is to generate copies of the target, leaving as little as two of one person, or half-literally creating a one-man army. The only drawback is that the more duplicates you create, the more the attributes of the original figure is evenly split among the individual clones. And we all know the populace would prefer a single, full strength Sonic than an army of 100000 ridiculously slow weaklings. The weakened property can be exploited by the opponent, and can actually be put to use in battle, as a means of weakening the enemy.
I focused on Sonic and Imagined two of him standing side-by-side. "Chaos Fantasy: Gemini!" His chest began to glow, and fireworks started emitting from it. One was sent flying into the sky, but the blast would be impossible to see in broad daylight. I growled at the botched ability, and left the fastest firework display alive to his own devices. I explained my problem to Tails. No matter how hard I try, I just can't get the hang of the dang Fantasy! I threw in what I did to Sonic, but he did not react the way I expected. He laughed at the dilemma the blue blur was placed in.
"I wonder if he even noticed yet." The kitsune stated. We heard a soft moan come from the backyard, and another firework going off.
"Yup, he noticed."
Amy's POV
I was on my way over to Sonic and Tails' place, hoping that Sonic would be in the mood for some good loving. I had my ipod with me, and was singing along to the current track.
"Baby, you're a Firework! Come on, show 'em What your worth!
Make 'em go ah, ah, ah, as you shoot across the Sky-eye-eye!
Baby, you're a Firework! Come on, let your colors burst!
Make 'em go ah, ah, ah! Your gonna leave going oh, oh, oh!"
(A/N: I do not own this song, and I'll admit, I got the situation Sonic is in now from the music video to this song.)
This was one of my favorite songs, and Katy Perry was growing on me, I have to admit. Personally, this has to be her greatest hit ever. I reached the workshop in the Mystic Ruins, and was about to knock on the door, when some strange noise came from the backyard of the place. I turned off my ipod, and listened for that sound again. I could hear it a little better now, and it sounded like something exploding. I walked around to the other side of the house, and saw my hero standing there, staring at colored sparks flying form his chest. He moaned lightly, and laid down on the grass. This was clearly a mistake as the sparks began falling into his eyes, and he had to stand up again. I looked behind me, expecting to see a police officer ready to arrest him for the crime of possessing fireworks that were not used by midnight last night, but there was no one there.
I walked over the blue guy, and he classically fell over at the sight of me.
"Amy, what are you doing here at this time of day?" he asked me.
"What else, visiting you!" I answered. "So, would you mind explaining…" I gestured at his chest, and the large fireworks that were flying from it.
"Oh, this?" He pointed at the spot, and I nodded at it.
"This is just some FANTASTIC mess up." I was greatly confused by his use and emphasis on the word "fantastic". I was about to ask what he meant when I heard the back door open. I turned around to see a fox that looked remarkably similar to Tails except for his age and the fact that he only has one tail, walk out of the house. He was wearing sunglasses, so I couldn't see his eyes.
"Oh, hello there." He sounded friendly enough, so I introduced my self to him, as he did the same. Aaron told me about his "Chaos Fantasy" and understood the joke Sonic made earlier.
"Okay, can you undo this little change, please?" Sonic asked him.
"Sorry, but I have no idea how to fix a living fireworks display. Although, it should wear off by dawn tomorrow." This clearly aggravated the blue hedgehog, but it was kind of pretty, so I didn't say anything. Though I did feel bad for Aaron a little. I wondered why he was so against taking off those shades. I decided that would keep tabs on him, spy if I have to, and learn that secret.
Well, what do you think? Review, or you will die. And if any of you love the song referenced, let me know in your reviews.
