Xiran Empire - Time: 6:03 PM

Xiran walked through the hallways, with Shai holding him around the arm in protection, until they both entered a large courtroom.

"Emperor Xiran has arrived!" A soldier said as everybody in the counsel looked to see him walking in, looking at Shai in which made her leave, and started walking up a pair of stairs to a chair on a pedestal, with other judges and leaders in them.

"So... I'm glad all of those in this room decided to come into this meeting." Xiran said. "So... I've noticed that the population in Station Square has been decreasing lately."

"So we've noticed." A fox leader said, with Xiran looking. "Aren't your men the ones normally killing them?"

"Yes, that's correct. But we need people to keep a community going." Xiran said with a nod.

"If that's the case, then why do you kill them? Just to make the world burn?" A Echidna leader asked as well.

"They are just merely rebels. Rebels of our empire. Anybody that goes against our rules; My rules." Xiran said.

"Do you have any idea on how much bullshit that's coming out of your mouth?" The fox asked. "Half of that maybe correct, but all of the other ones you kill just for getting rid of the old, wounded, and young!" He looks at the citizens of the counsel. "People and family inside the counsel, led me your ears! This man right here is nothing but a hypocrite and a traitor! He knows of the actions he's doing, and he doesn't regret a single action he took onto the lasting civilization of our people! The lasting thread of our once beloved people, being in the balance of this man!" He looked at Xiran again. "If this is also the case, and if you are to kill rebels like our own innocents, then answer on me on why the young brown hedgehog is STILL out there. He's fought against multiple of our men, painted... graffiti onto your posters and onto walls as if it's just... some sort of PLAYGROUND to him! Explain to me why HE isn't killed via your state of thinking!"

"It's because... I follow my own rules, even if it goes against the ones I created." Xiran said, with the Echidna looking at him in question.

"But that would also make you a rebel and an ever bigger hypocrite! Why do such a... unintelligent action in your state of mind?" He asked while Xiran stared at them.

"It is not because of this... Intelligence you beings of nature's way you talk about." He said as he looked at everyone. "To why I don't follow the rules I created, is to simply watch the entire world be put into chaos. For the past eighteen years of my creation by the man known as Robotnik, I've always wanted and seen chaos, chaos like no other. Fires burning homes, rebellion filling the now cold streets of this city, and blood spilling onto the ground by the hands of myself or the men I force to do them. To why I do this... Is because I can. And anybody that will get in the way of that... Will be killed."

"Then... What about that Brown hedgehog?" Another Fox, a judge said. "If he is also a rebel and you allow him to roam these streets, then why haven't you killed him now?"

"Let's just say... I plan to tackle that young hedgehog soon." Xiran said in which he closed his eyes. "He might just be a rebel, but he is no ordinary one... The son of Hamon." Everybody stared at him in shock. "The son of Hamon, and his sister, is dangerous to this empire and to myself. I've only learned of this child only today, only just a troubling teenage hedgehog... But learning of what he is... I plan to destroy him one way or another."

"I see... But what if we were to say that we'll do whatever we can to stop that from happening?" The fox leader asked, with Xiran staring at him.

"...Then I will kill anybody to do that action." He said as he took out the Red and Purple Chaos Emeralds, making everybody's eyes widen.

"Where... Where the hell did you get those?" The Echidna asked, with Xiran looking at him.

"...Do you honestly think nothing is out of my reach?" Xiran asked while he got up and took the Blue, White, and Yellow Chaos Emeralds out, shocking them even more. "Only five... Five of them are in my possession. The last two are out there... Somewhere out there... And when I do, I'll be sure the chaos I create... Will help expand the empire, and help me rule this forsaken earth."

"Do you honestly think that five of the seven can help you do that when you don't know where the last two are?!" The Echidna asked in anger.

"I can control this empire just fine without the remaining two... But I'll find them one way or another... In fact, I shall demonstrate my power with only five." Xiran said as he got up from his seat and rose his hand a bit, creating the Black and Red chaos energy while one Chaos Emerald glowed brightly, making the energy more darker and slightly bigger, until each of them did the same and increased it's size greatly while it became darker and Black electricity engulfed his fist. Everybody stared at the fist, including Xiran, until he aimed it at group of people and shot it, creating a large blast that destroyed more than half of the entire courtroom and killed them, leaving everybody in shock.

"N-No way..." The fox said in shock, with Xiran looking at him and made him flinch.

"Do you see the power I possess now? With six I can destroy cities... But with seven... I can destroy countries." Xiran said while closing his eyes. "With having all seven... I would have even more power, but with no limit. And remember this conversation and that demonstration... Because that was not only for show, I also only used half of my power with that blast." Hearing that shocked them.

"Only... Half?" The leader fox asked in shock and fear.

"If you get in my way... Then it shall be you to meet the same fate as those souls." Xiran said as he gathered the five Chaos Emeralds. "Is that all you wanted to ask me and to bring me here for?"

"Y-yes... That is all." The Echidna said until he was blasted by Xiran, shocking everybody.

"Kyle!" The fox yelled until he was blasted as well, making the judges scream until they too were killed off.

"Good... Meeting Adjourned." Xiran said as he started climbing down the stairs and walked toward the exit while everybody watched, until he stopped to see a small wolf crying over the remains of his dead mother, ignored it, and continued to walk away with Shai grabbing onto his arm.

"That was a very amazing performance my love. You really scared them." She said while kissing his cheek, with him not reacting to it and kept walking. "Not much of one for words hm? Alright, I'll leave you be in silence."

"Alexandria... You may come out." Xiran said suddenly, with her to come out of the certains that helped her conceal in the shadows.

"That was a entertaining act you did back there Emperor Xiran." She said while staring at him with a smirk. "Let me guess. You want me to help you find the last two emeralds?" Xiran stared at her and gave her the Yellow Chaos Emerald, matching her fur.

"I trust you with this. Use it as a compass. It pulls towards and pushes back to other emeralds, so use that knowledge to find them... And if our agent is still with the Brown hedgehog, make sure to-" Xiran explained.

"I know Emperor Xiran. Take that person to safety. I got it." Aleandria said as she walked away, leaving both him and Shai alone.

"It's only a matter of time my loving Xiran... Before you truly become a king, and me as your queen." She said with Xiran looking at her.

"...You can hardly pull you're own weight in this empire... All you have done is just admire me for my power." He said, surprising her a bit.

"But my love... I have always loved you for what you a-" Shai said until she was suddenly shot through the skull by a small black beam, making her body instantly fall and soldiers ran up to see it.

"Emperor Xiran... What happened?" One asked while Xiran starting to walk away.

"...Clean this mess up." He said coldly, leaving them behind as they looked at each other.
