Chapter 20: One Last Chance.
Out of the bright flash of light came a creature that looked like the Biolizard from Sonic Adventure 2, the only difference was it's skin was more metallic looking and gray. It was Xerek transformed. He let out a menacing roar as he fell into the pool of liquid in front of the two children.
Dash looked a little intimidated but Violet put her hand on his shoulder, "Calm down. I'm not gonna let that monster hurt you, Dash!" she said bravely.
Xerek laughed, "You foolish brats think you can defeat me?!" he said in a gruff and deep voice.
"I don't think, I know!" said Violet.
She then looked at her little brother. "Dash, take care of the power source up at that staircase and I'll distract him." she said.
Dash shook his head, "No way I'm letting you fight that freak alone, Vi!" he said, almost fixing to cry.
Violet bent down and hugged him, "I'll be fine. Just do what I said, OK? Just trust me. I'll be all right." she said.
Dash reluctantly nodded before he hugged her and said, "I love you." and ran at super speed to the power supply. Xerek moved around in a circle, trying to bite Violet, but she was too fast for him. He eventually ran out of breath and Violet grinded on one of the pipes going to his life support system and threw a force field at it, damaging it and dealing Xerek great pain. He roared before chasing Violet again, only this time when he stopped he fired purple balls of energy at Violet, who avoided them with ease. She then slid up the pipe and attacked the life support system again. This process repeated a third time, with the energy balls getting faster. The fourth time, Xerek raised pink bubbles with gravity manipulation that Violet managed to bounce off of and attack the life support system again. This repeated a second time.
The final time, Xerek let out a roar and yelled, "YOU PEST! I'LL CRUSH YOU!" before he levitated Violet and the orbs with his gravity manipulation. Violet managed to maneuver through the field of orbs while some were shot at her. She attacked the life support system one last time, causing Xerek to roar in great pain before he limply fell to the floor.
Violet landed on the floor on her feet, "GET OUT, YOU UGLY PSYCHOPATH!" Violet yelled. By that point, Dash had destroyed the power source, preventing the cannon from being fired. He turned around and was overjoyed to see his sister alive.
"Violet, you did it!" yelled Dash as he ran down the stairs and hopped into her arms, "I'm so proud of you, sis!" he said. But before they could relay to their parents what had happened, Xerek shocked them both with an energy ball, severely weakening and injuring them before he disappeared in a flash of light.
The transceiver came online, "Come in, kids! Do you read us?! That monster is still alive! It attached itself to the cannon! It's pulling us towards Earth! We'll try and stop it! Join us as soon as you can!" said all six of the other heroes.
