Flash back
"Talking"
Chap: 6 Back to Knothole pt 2
Puma started to charge at the horde of robots and smirked as they lowered their swords and guns to charge at him. Thinking quickly, he then stabbed his spear in the ground and used as a pole vault to spin towards the army. Hitting one in the chest and knocking at least 7 of them to the ground, Raul landed on the struck one and started his attack.
Turning left, he struck on of the robots in the face with a quick flash of steel and then deflected the sword from one of the other machines from his right, and jabbed it in the chest with his spear. He kept this pattern for at least 2 minutes, then he swung his spear in an arc around him, sheathing the weapon on his back, and then started to run forward. As he went to thrust his spear in another one of Eggman's soldiers, it was caught by one of them.
Seeing this, Sonic was tempted to help Raul but was withheld by Rose.
"What the hell!? He's in trouble!" he argued.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine. Look at him now." she said with a smile at the battlefield. Sonic turned and was shocked at Raul's next move.
He then kicked two of the robots that charged at him, thinking that he was no threat without his spear. The puma then pulled back and bent his spear slightly enough for him to propel forward with the robot holding it. He then began to flip towards an unsuspecting soldier and placed his feet on his shoulder.
Locking his feet behind the victim's head, the puma then used the momentum he gained from his spin, he then twirled the body of the machine to spin himself around, spear extended to strike the ones who tried to attack the puma. He slowed down and did a front leg-flip on the one he held on to. Landing on its chest, Raul got up and saw the machines with the guns started to fire at him.
Thinking fast, Raul then twirled his spear in a rapid 360 spin to deflect the inbound gun fire. As he continued to spin his spear, he charged his other hand with energy. Smirking slightly, Raul looked at the enemy and raised his glowing hand.
"That energy…is that??" started Shadow as he saw Raul raising his hand.
"Chaos………BOLT!!!" shouted the puma as ten energy blasts shaped like crossbow bolts shot from his hand. They sped towards the machines firing at him, hitting them on impact, and destroyed them in a flash. This had both Shadow and Sonic scared and intrigued.
"Did you see that Shad???" asked Sonic slowly.
"Yea….he has Chaos powers as well…this is crazy…" said Shadow as he looked at Raul who got up and smirked at Eggman.
Back with Puma
Smiling, Raul twirled his spear and holstered it on his back. Eggman looked livid at puma and then smirked evilly as he saw Raul standing from that attack.
"You're very good, young one. A person like you would make a excellent warrior on my side against the Freedom Fighters and Sonic. How about it? Would rather stay with them or join me and become even more powerful?" asked the scientist.
" Get fucked, Eggman…I'll NEVER join you!" said the Puma as he pulled out his two swords and linked them together(Think, Cloud Strife's Sword from FFVII Advent Children) to form a stronger sword.
"You'll regret those words, you little asshole!!!" screamed Eggman as he pressed a button on his HUD and activated the Cyro-Flamethrower again. Aiming directly at the Puma, he then fired a full blast at him.
"Too slow fat man!" said Raul as he got up and slashed downward at the cannon. It didn't do much damage to it but it showed a weak point for the others to attack at.
"Guys I need help!!" said Raul as he on his feet. This was the invitation for Sonic and Shadow as they ran towards Eggman. Sonic jumped in mid air as Shadow drew Eggman's fire away from Raul. Taking advantage of this, Raul got up and charged his hand for another Chaos Bolt while Shadow charged his own attack.
Sonic himself kept busy by attacking the damaged weapon with both his spin attacks and the twin swords he had. Eggman then switched from attacking Raul and Shadow to attack the blue hedgehog. Fending off Sonic, Eggman then charged the attack from his Cyro-Flamethrower and fired at Sonic.
"SONIC UP HERE!!!" shouted Tails as he flew upward to help his friend. Sonic grabbed Tails' hands and held on as they pulled up. This left Eggman open to attack as he tried to shoot down both the kitsune and the hedgehog when he was attacked by both Raul and Shadow.
"KNOCK IT OFF!!!" cried Eggman as he turn his fire at the puma and the ebony hedgehog.
"Damn, he's friggin' persistent! Shad, you got a spare ring on ya!?" asked Raul as he landed on his feet.
"Yea…what are you gonna do!?" Asked Shadow as he handed Raul the ring he had.
"A little Spin-Dash could help for a moment. When he gets open, hit him with a Chaos Spear. It may weaken him for me and Sonic to get the job done…" said Raul as he started to go into Ball-Form and started to spin rapidly.
" Gotcha…" Said Shadow as Raul then charged as fast he could towards Eggman and attacked.
The momentum from his spin kept Raul protected from the attack as he hurled himself to the cannon. Charging deep into the heart of the fire, Raul hit the main nozzle and caused it to dent inward. Back flipping away, Raul then ducked away as Shadow unleashed a Chaos Spear at the dented weapon, destroying the N2O tanks that fed the freezing gun.
"NO!!!" screamed Eggman as he lost part of his weapon. Sonic then released his grip on Tails and jumped up to go into Ball-Form as well. Recognizing this move, Tails kicked Sonic towards Eggman's Flamethrower and hit it dead on, further denting the main gun. Seeing this, Sonic then whistled Cream and Amy to join in on the fray with their own Thunder Shoot.
Joining their friends, Cream kicked Amy at Eggman while Tails then kicked Sonic at the same time as well. Seeing this, Shadow then fired at barrage of Chaos Spears at the cannon while Raul charge at him with his sword raised. The 4 attacks succeeded and the cannon was now clogged from the heroes' attacks. Knowing what would happen if he stayed in the machine for long, Eggman ejected on his personal hover and fled just as the machine exploded.
Landing on the ground, the flight and speed from both Team Rose and Team Sonic started to celebrate as Raul and Shadow smirked at the remains of Eggman's failed contraption. Shadow then turned his attention to Raul and saw the latter smiling.
"Fancy moves you got there…Who taught you to use chaos powers?" asked Shadow as he saw Raul look away.
"That's not something you should ask. I've had them since we grew up…you, me, and Sonic."
said Raul with a dark look on his face.
"…What do you mean 'Since we grew up'? I wasn't around Faker that long." Said Shadow as he had the look like he's been slapped on the face and wasn't even kissed.
"…I'll explain later… right now I need to report this incident to my boss. " said Raul as he separated his blades and holster them. He was walking away when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey ahh Raul was it?" asked the person that held Raul. He turned and saw a lilac cat holding his shoulder. If he wasn't single, he might have flirted with her but he didn't.
" Yes miss??"
"I believe we should thank you for saving both us and Sonic. Amy was really worried about him. And uhh….I thought I should say so…" she said with a blush.
"No problemo…miss ahh…"
"Oh its Blaze…Blaze the Cat!" said Blaze as she smile warmly at Raul, causing him to blush slightly. Seeing this, Blaze step closer to him and started to lean towards him. Lucky for him, Amy saw this and pulled him away.
"Sorry bout ol' Blaze there…she has a soft spot for tough guys." said Amy as she shook Raul's hand.
"Yeah…I can tell. By the way, I'm Raul the Puma. I take it that you and Sonic are…." he started but was stopped when she nodded her head.
"Yup, lovers. But I'm forgetting my manners. The name's Amy Rose. I'm wanna say thanks for healing Sonic." she said as she smiled.
"Like I said, no prob." smiled Raul as he left to talk to Rose and Sonic. Amy joined them later but Blaze stayed behind.
'Whoa…he's damn hot…I wonder if he's got a girlfriend?' she thought as she saw him laugh at one of Sonic's joke.
'Well…if any one's gonna get that hunk, its gonna be me!' Blaze thought as she walked over where Silver was.
Meanwhile
"Anyway me , Max, and Rosie got to go. We got to report to Princess Sally. She's gonna have my head if I'm any later than now." said Raul as he walked but was forestalled by Tails and Sonic.
"Whoa…you know Sally?!" he asked Raul.
"Yeah! Princess Sally Acorn, leader of the Freedom Fighters and my commander. She game the post of her 1st Louie. I answer to her and Wally the Walrus as well. How do you know her? Asked Raul as he looked at Tails and Sonic.
"Well, we used to work for the FF a long time. We left when we started to pursue Eggman. But we lost touch with her." Said Tails as he smiled at Raul.
"Is that why you guys came here?" asked Max as he looked at the young fox.
"At first, yes but then old Egg-for-Brains attacked us till we were ambushed by some monsters." said Sonic as he racked his brains.
"Well, we're gonna head back there. Wanna come along?" asked Rose as she smiled warmly at the Sonic Team.
"Sure!" said Sonic and Tails as Amy and Cream nodded ecstatically. The others nodded as well.
"Ok…let see…where the flying fudge did I put that damn thing?" said Raul as he searched his person for something.
"What are you lookin for, hun?" asked Rouge as she cocked her head like she was confused.
"My Chaos Emerald…" he said, leaving the others shocked that he knew of them.
"How the heck do you know about those gems!?" asked Knuckles as he raised his fist.
"I'll tell ya later." replied the Puma as he looked for it.
"Oh Raul, wasn't on your spear?" asked Rose as she grabbed it.
"Oh…yeah… thanks babe!" said Raul as he removed it from his weapon. The blue gem shined in the light of the sun as Raul grabbed it.
"Want me or Shadow to help?" asked Sonic as he saw it.
"I got it." replied Raul as everyone linked hands and saw Raul flip it in one hand.
"Chaos….CONTROL!!!" shouted Raul as a light envelop the heroes and teleported them.
Knothole Village
A flash of light had appeared as the group appeared as well, causing a small commotion as the guards surrounded them but was relieve when they saw both Sonic and Raul. As they stood down, two other figures approached them and smiled. One was a brown rabbit with robotic limbs and the other was a brown squirrel wearing a blue vest and black jeans with a sword on her back.
"Ahh… Lt. Puma! You returned! I received word that you were fighting Eggman again. Is he still around?" asked the squirrel with a kind smile.
"No, your Highness… me and my men repelled him but we ran into a group of Mobians who claimed that they served the FF long ago." said Raul as he kneeled down in respect.
"Who---" started the Princess but stopped when she saw Sonic behind Max and Raul. Sonic smiled slightly as she looked at him.
"Sonic??? Is that…you?" asked the Rabbit as she and the Princess ran and hugged him with a smile and tears of joy.
"WHOA!!! Ok ladies, its bad that I have one girl doing that to me!" he joked and smiled as he hugged them back. They separated and smiled.
"How's tricks, Sally?" asked Sonic.
"Could be better…but the kingdom is…well a different story…" she said with a sad look.
"Why? What happened Sal?" asked Amy as she hugged her friend.
"We managed to restore my father back to power but… some creature killed him…and took over what both me and Eggman rivaled to take back. Not only that but several black creatures attacked the land in the creature's name." said Sally as she started to cry slightly.
The heroes were sadden to hear of the death of Sally's father. Now the land was in chaos again, but even worse as it entered a Three-Kingdoms era. This scare all as they now know that things were now bad and with only a group of fighters trying to stave off the people who attacked them were now being attacked from both sides.
"Sal…you said that the kingdom was attacked by some black creature. What does he look like?" asked Shadow as he got close.
"They have your colors but….they're more…reptilian like. They're aren't Mobians and they hate Eggman just as much as we do. They wield magenta sabers and some weird looking guns." she answered.
"NO!!!….it can't be….Not Black Doom!" said Shadow as he had a shocked look on his face.
Well, well, wellly well well! Looks like we got a tri-kingdom incident going on here! Well time to wait for the next chapter!
