Hey, guys. The new chapter of Sonic Sega All Stars: Subspace Unleashed is unleashed (no pun intended). We are last off where Alex Kidd, Joe Musashi, Amy Rose, Rolly Roll, Bantham Scrambled, and Chick Poacher are against Aoi Satan, Neo Zeed, and a few Legion of Subspace goons in a race against time to save the Chicken Elder, Ora Ora. Goodle is sent by Reala to spy on them while his fellow Nightmarens were defeated easily. This is going to be a tough one since both guys are associated with demons. And now the chapter begins.
Joe Musashi and Alex Kidd jumped back when Aoi Satan did a sweeping motion to attack with his aura. Joe did his Hinotama no Jutsu to distract him while Alex Kidd runs behind him for a sneak attack. Aoi Satan emits more aura to push the boy towards the bars of the large tree cage behind him. Alex Kidd gagged after that impact and drops to the ground while losing consciousness. This led the ninja to pull out his blade and rush at the demon, prompting him to challenge him to a swordfight. He agreed by pulling out his blade and clash with the white ninja before the two begin to fight for real. Alex Kidd is still unconscious from the force of the blast, meaning that he couldn't help Joe at all. Meanwhile, Amy and Rolly are dodging the strikes from Neo Zeed's special hair as the maniacal organization leader laughs like a crazed old man. They both glared back at him like he's some deranged and dirty old man.
"Give up, girls! You are no match for my fantastic hair of Zeed!" said the hannya-esque man.
"You sure talk a lot for a fearsome organization leader, Zed!" shouted Rolly while dashing with her now enlarged egg.
This really pissed Zeed off to the point of sharpening his silver hair and shooting a flurry of needles at the girls! His eyes started to glow as well to emphasis how angry the organization leader was.
"It's Zeed, you foolish girl!" he barked.
Amy deflected most of the shots with her Piko Piko Hammer since she didn't have an egg to protect unlike Rolly. That purple egg she held could possibly be an egg that could hatch a helpful Egg Animal like Cipher and Datch judging by the stripes it had. Bantam and Chick were still taking on the LOS grunts with their Egg Animals as they swarmed them with no mercy. They both were determined to defeat them all for the sake of Billy and all citizens of Morning Land.
"How many of these guys are there?" asked the small chicken boy as Datch attacks a Goodles with a wind blast.
"I don't know, but we have to keep fighting at all costs if we want to make Forest Village have its morning like the other areas we've taken cared of," said Bantam.
Joe and Aoi Satan had a high speed sword fight that traveled to different areas of the stump-like arena, hopping over all the other fighters. Neo Zeed still swung his enlarged spiky hair to make sure that both girls were punctured until they bleed to death. Amy and Rolly kept dodging since they need to make sure that egg is full before its time to hatch it. The purple egg is now three times the chicken girl's size and glowed as it were a miniature sun. This gave Zeed a good sign that he needs to focus on destroying that egg. Rolly stops in an area further away from the other fighters to hatch it with her Chicken Crow. Zeed raised his hair like a cobra to get ready to strike the egg, but Amy threw some tarot cards at his face to stun him.
"Cockledoodledooooo!" shouted Rolly next to the egg.
The egg had shaken violently and hatch to reveal a small purple seal with a red bandanna on its tail and one around its neck. This is the legendary Egg Animal Ritchie, who's known for his ice abilities and usage of illusions. As Zeed removes the cards from his face, Ritchie charged at him in a form of an ice floe. He jumped out of the way to dodge the attack, but the purple seal split into three to fool him. The third seal rammed into him and encased the organization leader into a block of ice as he gasped. Rolly and Amy walked closer to see if the attack worked while the real Ritchie slip towards him master. In a sudden turn of events, the hair sharpened and broke Zeed out of his frozen prison for a rematch.
"You are now starting to annoy me, little girls! Time to die!" he shouted while elongating his hair for another ranged attack.
Amy and Rolly got back into battle to prepare for an even longer fight with the old fool. Alex Kidd got back to his feet while rubbing his head and decided to look around for Satan and Joe. It turns out that the two were still zipping around the area and clash blades together. Alex Kidd summons his Peticopter and hopped in for a closer look at the battle. Joe notices him and runs towards the gate, leaving a decoy to fool Satan. The boy eventually blasts the demonic swordsman with a series of shots from the Pedicopter. Joe runs towards the gate blocking the passage to break it in the midst of the chaos. Alex Kidd notices that Aoi Satan survived the blast and is heading towards Joe and launched himself out of the Pedicopter's cockpit.
He dived towards him and pinned him to the ground with a Jan Fist attack. Joe was given the opportunity to slash at the wooden gate while Alex holds down the silver haired demon. Zeed ignores the girls and stretched his hair towards the ninja while he's distracted. Amy tossed her hammer at him out of rage and Rolly commanded Ritchie to freeze his hair. Joe was almost done weakening the gate and some of the goons that were fighting Chick and Bantam eventually focused on stopping him. Amy retrieved her hammer from the knocked out organization leader and walked on his frozen hair to reach the baddies. Aoi Satan eventually knocks Alex Kidd off him and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Do you honestly think you can make a fool of the ruler of Hell! Now I'm going to reach my full power!" he shouts.
He absorbed the Shadow Fiends that were lurking in the area and started to give everyone an uneasy feeling. He grew horns, longer hair, a fanged mouth, purple aura, and bloodshot eyes to show how powerful he had become. Joe eventually destroys the gate and turned around before gasping in surprise. Aoi Satan roars in a deep demonic tone and slowly headed towards Zeed to give him some of his power. Amy defeated the henchmen and reunited with the group to witness Zeed's transformation with a shocked look. Zeed dissolved into a pile of flesh and formed a large bald, fleshy creature with pulsating skin. This reminded Joe of the creature he fought in one of Zeed's research labs that he destroyed in the past and made him even more nervous at the thought. It roars loudly and two large, fleshy claws formed from the main body for combat.
This was serious business and everyone including Chick and Bantam, who were done defeated the other goons, joined forces for a heated battle. Aoi Satan charges at Joe and clashes swords with him. Since he was much stronger than before, Joe is struggling to defeat him. He was tossed aside like a rag doll from the shock of that last strike and Alex Kidd was slapped away for interfering. Rolly gets another egg that she grew with fruit and charged at him. He effortlessly breaks it with a single punch, in which he force of the egg's crack sends Rolly to the ground. Rickol breaths fire at him while Datch attacks with a fire wind blasts. But both animals were easily obliterated by a fire aura blast that Aoi Satan shot, leaving Chick and Bantam defenseless and crouching in pain. Ritchie retaliates with an illusion ice attack that froze Satan easily. The ice was eventually broke by a blast of aura that Satan emitted from his body and grabs him by his neck. He was strangling the poor seal that was gasping for air, making Rolly cry and cover her eyes from the sight. This also made the rest of the group, especially the more serious Joe Musashi, even angrier than before.
"Since you are foolish enough to cool me down, then you are going to be sent to hell like the other fools that I killed!" he shouted.
A streak of blue light appears and knocks Aoi Satan towards Zeed's new form, causing them to collide and lose some Shadow Fiends from their bodies. Amy was shocked and looked as the two were already were shedding some of their power.
Who was that earlier? Can it be really Sonic helping us already?
The streak drops in front of Amy and friends as Ritchie slowly slide towards him to thank him. It was a blue haired young man wearing a blue trimmed shirt, dark colored shorts, and had bandages around his feet and hands. Everyone looked in awe and wondered who this mysterious young man was. He turned to his new friends and gives them a thumbs up as Ritchie was picked up by the crying Rolly. She wiped her tears and hugged her beloved Egg Animal since he carelessness could have costs his life. He turned back to the two demonic villains and clenches his fists in anger to show that he's ready to defeat them.
"Time to end this right now!" shouted the blue haired boy.
He jumps into the air and launched himself in a form of a blue flaming spinball to rupture Zeed's massive head. He hisses and reach his fleshy hands into the air to catch him. But the target was too fast for him and ripped through his fleshy head with another attack. The boy spins in midair again and rammed into his head for the last time to defeat the fleshy creature. It rears up and lets out a mournful roar while melting into a large pile of red bubbling flesh. This prompts Satan to charge at the boy while he's down. The boy runs out of the way and kicks him a heavy blow to his head. This caused him to cough up more of the Shadow Fiends and lose his demonic appearance. Aoi Satan cringed in pain and coughed up some blood after losing all the Shadow Fiends. The boy looked back at him with a serious expression and watched as his foe gets even weaker compared to how he was earlier.
"Impossible, there's no way I can lose to a "third party". Who the hell do you think you are?" he said.
"I am the Blue Sonic Gear from the Segua Army. That is all you need to know, Sega villain," said the blue haired boy.
He dropped to the ground and dissolved into a pillar of light to show that he no longer exists and couldn't escape to Hell after his fight with Sakura Shinguji. Gear turns around and smiled since everyone left to the top of the hill to recover the Ora Ora's golden egg. Gear laughed a little and ran up the hill to catch up with everyone else. Goodle was trembling in the bush since he's afraid of sharing the bad news with his master back at the ship and feared for his life being lost like most who had failed Reala before. The transmitter showed an image of Reala and he stared at his minion since he was expecting a message.
"I'm sorry master, but a "third party" appeared out of nowhere and defeated Aoi Satan and Neo Zeed," said the green wearing minion.
"As expected, "someone else" was aware of our plan. Don't worry, Morning Land isn't 100% recovered yet since there's still Giant Village to worry about," said the laidback Nightmare.
Goodle started to make a weak giggle to show that he's glad that Reala had spared him for now since he's his most trusted minion.
"Good to know, Master. Where do I go?" asked he.
"Keep an eye on the others and that "third party" and don't get caught!" Reala threatened.
"Aye aye, Lord Reala," said Goodle.
He scurries up the hill to check on the others and tried his best to avoid being sense or seen by the more dangerous members of the heroic group. On his way up there, a loud rooster crow can be heard and he made a sinister grin in response. Then, the sky cleared up to reveal the bright morning sun that blanketed the entire forest village like a nice warm blanket. The chicks and chickens throughout the village cheered since this was the work of one of the Four Chicken Warriors. Ora Ora thanked the heroes for saving him from his golden prison and flew off towards the heart of the village to see the other chicken citizens.
"We did it, guys!" shouted Chick with glee.
"And it's all thanks to our new friends Musashi, Alex, Gear, and Amy," said Bantham.
"We could have not done it without you guys," said Rolly with a smile on her face as Ritchie clapped.
Goodle jumps into the nearest bush to watch the heroes as they talked. He observes Gear since Reala specifically said to eep an eye on him for special reasons.
"Mr. Gear, I have a serious question to ask you," said Amy.
"What is it, young lady?" said the confused Gear.
"Where do you come from and why do you remind me so much of Sonic?" asked the pink hedgehog.
"I am from the country of Consume where many countries fought for notoriety. But I am not familiar with this Sonic person you bought up," said Gear.
"He's just like you in terms of the blue hair, fast speed, and heroic personality. Except for the fact that he's a hedgehog like me," said Amy.
Gear rubbed the back of his head in bewilderment and Amy laughed at how adorable this response was. He eventually crossed his arms and smiled at her happiness.
"The similarities are so uncanny that it's merely coincidental. I might as well meet him in person to see what you are talking about," he responded.
"We could check on Sonic and the others, but for now we have to fix Morning Land completely," said Amy.
"If my calculations are correct, Billy must be in Giant Village by now planning to redefeat Dark Raven since he's the Chosen Hero," said Rolly.
"We must make it there as well since the other members of the Legion of Subspace are there as we speak," said Joe in solitude.
Suddenly, Ritchie jumps from Rolly's arms and slide towards the wooden gate and destroyed the fencing. A crow portal can be seen and these are usually known for transporting them to the nearest crow available. Everyone decided to follow him inside of the hollow tree and stare at the portal. Roll and the other Chicken Warriors were the least shocked since Billy told him about when they usually appear and how they'd normally work. Gear was the most shocked since he's unfamiliar with such a portal since he's not from this country.
"Good job, Ritchie! You found our ticket to Giant Village!" shouted Chick in glee.
"Now we have got inside to help Billy reclaim Giant Village," said Alex Kidd.
Everyone stepped onto the large crow symbol and were sucked into a large purple portal that appeared above them. Goodle, who was watching the whole time, ran up to the pedestal and jumped into the portal to follow them while giggling. Meanwhile, Omochao is seen hovering above the now peaceful Forest Village to see what a good job everyone did.
"Everyone did a fantastic job at cleansing this area. If only Sonic were around to see this," said the mechanical Chao.
He stopped and noticed a familiar colorful ship flying with a miniature F1-Tomcat fly by his side. It was Opa Opa and AGES, who were doing some espionage work for Rouge and the G.U.N., flying by. This caused Omochao to fly after them despite being a slow flyer thanks to his outdated technology and lack of other special upgrades.
"What are they doing here? I need to see what those two machines are up to," said Omochao.
Off into the Legion of Subspace mothership, the three doctors were checking on everyone and their positions. One of the warships was one their way to a different location, another was hovering above Giant Village, and the third one was near a large canyon. Dr. Z sipped his tea and Dr. Bad Boon finished his daily banana snack. Eggman still focused on the map since he's making sure that everything goes well during this dastardly plan.
"It seems that we are going well so far, except one of the location is 85% purified," said Dr. Z.
"As long as we have the Shadow Fiends by our side, there should be no problem. Not to mention Nack is having his repairs to get back at Sonic," said Eggman.
"Eauggh eauggh ook ook!" said Dr. Bad Boon as he shows his translations to the two doctors.
It said that Death Adder, Neo Zeed, and Aoi Satan are dead while Sonic and friends are heading to Dragon Canyon. This led both scientists to having a "face fault" moment in response to this unexpected failure.
Eggman quickly got back up and wiped the sweat of his bald forehead. He eventually got back to his seat and said, "There's no need to be too upset since the Land of Dragons is full of fearsome beasts that would take them down."
Ulala is seen in the back of the room, recording their conversation with the most serious expression that you'd never see this reporter do.
Now that that chapter is over, you have to look forward to the next one. Since the heroes were in trouble, a "third party" hero named Gear (the protagonist of the manga/anime Aoi Sekai no Chuushin or known as World War Blue in the English manga that was localized this summer) joined the fray and defeated both foes for them. This lead to Ora Ora being saved, Forest Village being purified, and Alex Kidd and the crew to transport themselves to Giant Village to check on Billy Hatcher. Goodle is still following them as ordered and the curious Omochao is wondering what AGES and Opa Opa are up to. Eggman and the other scientist heard the news, but aren't too worried since the dragons might give Sonic and his crew a major problem. Wait for a week and you'll find out what happens next! Later, loyal fans!
