The moment you guys been waiting for, Billy Hatcher is seen for the first time in this fanfict and he doesn't die like his portrayals in other fanficts I know. This episode will be pure nostalgia since Billy will have to defeat Dark Raven twice just like in the original game except he has some friends on his side to help him out. This chapter is going to be shocking at the end for two reasons and you'll find out what it is soon.

The next location was an elegant white kingdom that is now shrouded in darkness and plagued with the Legion of Subspace's henchmen. Since a large purple explosion is seen next to the passage way to the Giant Egg, that's a good sign that a Subspace Diffusion Bomb was deactivated to keep the heroes from seeing the Giant Egg up close. Speaking of up close, Dark Raven is seen standing in the same area where he and Billy fought before they finished the duel inside the Giant Egg. He knew that Billy would eventually find his way here so that the two could fight once more with his colleagues watching from the massive warship in the air. A few miles away, the Chosen One himself Billy Hatcher is seen defeating some crows and Golden Rhinos after cleaning up a puddle of darkness with his ginormous blue egg.

"I'm almost to the Giant Egg to fix the problem. Hopefully, Rolly and the others took care of Forest Village and the other locations for me," said the young chicken warrior.

He rolls his egg outside to see that the passage he usually takes to the Giant Egg is swallowed in the subspace. He yelled in response, but quickly got his head back in the game.

"Looks like I have to hatch a jetpack egg to reach the other side. Good thing there's some fruit surrounding it," Billy said before concocting his new plan.

He grows the egg, hatches it, and obtains his jetpack before reaching his desire destination. Billy yells while running and leaps as high as he could before activating the jetpack's thrusters. He hovers toward the small arena where Dark Raven stands with a look of determination on his face. He lands onto the ground and did a tough guys pose to show how determined he is to defeat his long time foe again.

"Ah, it's good to see you again. I've gotten stronger since our last encounter, Billy Hatcher," said Dark Raven.

"Your reign of darkness ends here, Raven!" Whether you have friends on your side or not!" shouted Billy.

Dark Raven grunts while swinging his staff to summon some puddles of darkness and levitates into the air with his force field.

"This is going to be the final day that you'll see the morning light whether it's the last thing I do!" shouted the tyrannical raven as he crows.

This is going to be one fight that Billy wishes that he'd never had to do again and must happen if he wants to save Morning Land. Billy cleans the puddles with an egg that he finds, which has a multicolored and traditional Easter Egg pattern. But the process was much harder this time since Dark Raven shot his heat seeking feathers at him to hinder his goal unlike the last time. Billy used his Egg Dash to speed up the cleaning process and dodge the feathers as they follow him dangerously. All puddles were cleaned well, which led to Dark Raven deactivating his force field and kneeling in pain. Billy does an Egg Bounce and allows the feathers to return to his master in a more painful way, like a similar tactic he did in the past. Dark Raven laughs and rises back into the air before summoning more darkness puddles for Billy to clean as Billy looks for more fruit to grow his egg. He looked back at him with a glare that could even scare an innocent chick.

"This is nothing, you still have a long way to go in order to defeat me," said the boasting Dark Raven.

"Oh yeah? There's plenty of more where that came from, you black winged pest!" shouted Billy as he cleans another puddle.

Dark Raven summons some crows that were needed to distract and attack Billy during this round. Billy smashed a few that got in his way and ignored the others to keep cleaning. Several of the cat-like crows kept hoping around the place to confuse the chicken warrior during his task. Dark Raven grunts when he realizes that this plan isn't working out as well as it should. He eventually found himself kneeling in pain again since all the puddles were cleaned up by his nemesis. Billy does few Egg Shots to knock the titanic crow against the edges of the arena, making him lose his balance. Billy does an Egg Dash in hopes of knocking him down, but was knocked away by Dark Raven before he started hovering again. Billy is knocked onto the ground while his huge egg rolled way with a huge crack on the front. More puddles appeared and Dark Raven was getting ready to send more feathers at the boy.

"Hey, Billy! Don't give up!" shouted a familiar voice.

He turned around to see his friends Rolly, Bantam, and Chick cheering for him along with their new allies Amy Rose, Joe Musashi, Gear, and Alex Kidd. They were giving him to courage to continue fighting no matter how improved his adversary was. He winks and slowly got back to his feet to much of his group's applause. Billy grabs the egg and dashes for his life to clean up every ounce of dark puddle that was formed and to dodge the feathers. They followed him again and he headed towards Dark Raven again, who was terrified of being hit by that tactic again. Billy dunks his own egg at his foe's head so that the feathers hit him again. Dark Raven is knocked down and kneels in pain, but this time a little longer because of the egg and feathers chain reaction. During the midst of the excitement, Alex Kidd notices a large blue egg next to him and got an idea.

He shouts, "Hey Billy! Heads up and finish him off!"

The blue egg was then launched by Alex Kidd Jaken Fist: Pon Edition and flew to the point of being caught by Billy's hands. He hatches the egg to summon a small blue penguin under the name Clippen, who is known for his ability to control water.

"Ekaaayyyy!" shouted Billy so Clippen knows that it was time to attack.

He encases himself into a large ball of water and launches himself at Dark Raven to cause a massive splash. The massive raven crows in pain and collapse from the damage that he endured during the fight. Black Baron, Rokkaku Gouji, Reala, Lan Di, Cardinal Rowen, the KapuKapu leader, Silver Armlet, and Dural witnesses the outcome from their ship and converses about their next plan. They were honestly disappointed in the overall fight and had to think of a way to fix things here.

"I knew that black bird brain didn't have it in him to take his own foe on," said Cardinal Rowen.

"And to think I was the useless one like you fools said earlier," said Rokkaku as he fixes his glasses.

"This all could have been avoided if he called for some real back up to help him out," said Lan Di in a stern manner.

"How about we give him a boost of power with the help of the Shadow Fiends and the Giant Egg?" said Reala in a sly manner.

"That might not be such a bad idea. Everyone, release the fiends!" shouted Silver Armlet.

With that being said, the warship emits a fountain of purple fog onto the Giant Egg which resulted in something much worse. The egg turns purple and breaks before emitting more smog that spreads into Dark Raven's body and sucks him inside. This left Billy speechless and scared until his friends reached the same area Billy was. They were as shocked as him after witnessing the situation.

"Billy, what just happened?" asked Rolly.

"The Giant Egg was corrupted by some dark material and absorbed Dark Raven," said Billy in despair.

"I bet it was those same creatures that attacked the Station Square fighting tournament! They are sometimes hard to kill and can cling onto the bodies of anyone to make them stronger," said Amy.

"Looks like you have to get inside of the egg some how," said Joe calmly.

"I think I can help at times like this," said a godly voice.

A heavenly light shines on Billy and he does hearing gesture since he knew who it was. Everyone else wondered who this godly being was that spoke earlier and caused such light to appear.

"For those of you who don't know me, I am the God of Chickens Menie-Funie. I am the one who usually guides the four Chicken Warriors on their journey throughout Morning Land," said the voice.

Everyone was astounded by the fact that the god of this sacred land was not only speaking, but was willing to help them with this giant problem. Alex Kidd remembered the time such moment happened to him in his older quests. Gear smiled since this was the perfect miracle that was needed to help them at a time like this.

"Good thing you came just in time. We need to know how to get inside and defeat Dark Raven!" said Alex Kid frantically.

"I'll send you all inside the egg to defeat the leader of the crows. But in the current state he's in, only Billy can stop him," said the chicken god.

"Thanks, Chicken God. But what do you mean about Billy being able to stop him?" Gear asked.

"It can be best described as this. Light is the main weakness of darkness and Billy has the power of courage to turn his darkness into light," he said.

Everyone is enveloped in a bright light and levitates a bit to much of everyone's surprise. They eventually disappear from sight, making Goodle frustrated since he can't see what goes on. He crossed him arms in disbelief and took a while to think about what to do whenever their fight is over. Everyone winds up inside of the egg and they notice that they are on a floating structure in a dark dimension. Alex Kidd and the other looked around this unfamilar location and wondered what to do next. Billy notices something in the distance and gained a panicked expression since he knew what's about to happen.

"Look out!" shouted Billy as he jumps to knock Amy away.

It was a large shadowy crow that almost attack them and it slowly descends towards the ground to show how intimidating it is. It stared at its new prey with soulless white eyes and made a loud crow to make the situation tenser. This was the new and improved Dark Raven, thanks to the Shadow Fiends and the power of the Giant Egg. Everyone gained a fighting stance to show the demonic bird that they aren't afraid of him or the darkness.

"That's Dark Raven and we need to defeat him at all costs, guys!" exclaimed Billy

"So what do we need to do in order for you defeat him with light?" asked Gear.

"We need to distract him to the point of him launch shadow balls for me to convert. When it hit him with the balls of light, he's vulnerable to anyone during that condition," said Billy.

All four chicken warriors grabbed the next egg and prepared to battle since there were no fruit available in this area. Alex and Joe get into their action poses as Amy and Gear prepares to do their stuff. The massive crow flaps into the air and skids across the ground with it's talons in hopes of attacking Amy and Gear first. They ran out of the way and kept moving along the edges to distract him. Joe and Alex Kidd sacrificed the fruit they found earlier to make all four chicken warriors' eggs grow for this final fight. Dark Raven lands onto the ground due to being tired and charged a ball of darkness. This was the perfect opportunity for Billy to convert it into a light ball and attack him with it. The dark ball was shot and grabbed by Billy, thus turning into a ball as bright as the morning sun. He made is his usual big grin and aimed for the perfect area to attack.

"Take this!" shouted Billy as he shot the ball back at Dark Raven.

This causes the infernal raven to be transformed into a small purple eye with a black slit pupil. This was his weakened state and gave everyone the chance to beat him. Joe slices it with his katana and Alex Kick shoots it with the Power Bracelet. Amy whacks it a few times with her Piko Piko Hammer and allow Gear to attack it at a blinding speed. The eye eventually raises itself into the air and recollects darkness to become its original crow-like form. It crows and flies into the air to escape everyone view. The area became pitch black with darkness to the point of everyone being lost and not being able to see a thing. Billy hears a familiar scratching noise and jumps out of the way when he notices a pair of white eyes charging at him. The area lightens up again and reveal Dark Raven landing back onto the ground to launch another shadow ball.

Billy steps in front of it to catch the ball again. The monstrous crow launches the ball and was eventually hit by another light ball thanks to Billy's plan. It eventually reverts back into its purple snake eye form and it was time to attack. Rolly, Bantam, and Chick attacked it with a barrage of Egg Shots to weaken it slowly. They all did an Egg Dunk to attack it from above before it eventually transforms back into its original form. This time, the crow made a ghastly howl that even terrifies Rolly and Amy before flying around the arena. During this phase, it launched a series of heat seeking feathers to attack everyone in sight. Good thing people like Gear and Joe were fast enough to outrun it with no problem. Alex Kidd and the others barely dodged it and keep focusing on the crow to land. It darkens the area again and this time tries to attack Amy. She noticed it and yelled in fear in response. Good thing she learned to jump out of the way when she had noticed the bird's eyes ahead of her. He turns around and aims for Gear since he was the closest.

"I am the fastest thing alive. You shall not touch me, foul bird!" he said while running out of the way of Dark Raven's sharp claws.

The area lightens up again to reveal him landing to launch another ball of darkness. Billy runs to the shadow projectile and grabs it to turn it into light while smiling.

"This is for Morning Land!" he shouts as he launches the ball at his shadowy nemesis.

He transforms back into his eye form and was struck by a four way strike from all Chicken Warrior's eggs. It shrieks in pain while levitating into the air before exploding to cause a bright light that enveloped everyone. Billy opens eyes and notice that the morning sun was shining on his face and that the the ship was flying away. He looks to his side and noticed that his friends were unconscious and they are back in the same area they was before entering the Giant Egg. This was a good sign that they were unconscious for a while before everything was purified. The Giant Egg was back to normal and looked good as new thanks to their hard work. He does a loud Rooster Crow to startle everyone that was lying on the ground. They eventually got back to their feet and noticed that they cured Giant Palance thanks to their teamwork. Amy and Alex Kidd high fived since they had accomplished something good for once and made Sonic proud. Gear feels something hard and picks it up in his hand with a shocked look. It was a blue Chaos Emerald that was probably given to them a reward for their hard work.

"Is this the Chaos Emerald that you were looking for?" he said as everyone looks at the shining gem.

"Yes, that's the emerald we were looking for all along!" shouted Alex Kidd while doing a "V for Victory" sign.

"Great, we have done our part for now. Where do we need to go next?" asked the white clad ninja.

"I don't know Joe. Maybe we should ask Tails and the gang for now," said Amy.

They set up the transmitters on their wrists to see how the gang was doing and waited for them to respond. Both screens revealed Tails tired face drinking a bottle of water. They sweat dropped since they can tell such a genius like him is bound to be tired out from all his hard work. He wiped his face and looked towards everyone that communicated with him.

"Hey guys, we are getting closer to our next destination at the moment. How did everything go?" asked the young fox.

"We managed to get Morning Land back to the way it was, defeated Dark Raven for good, and retrieved the blue Chaos Emerald," said Alex Kidd.

"Not to mention we ran into Joe Musashi and Gear on the way," said Amy cheerfully.

"Gear? May I ask who's that?" asked the concerned Tails.

Gear looks at the screen on Amy's wrist to reveal who he was to Amy's friend. He wanted to show how friendly he is by greeting the fox in the best way possible.

"I am Gear from the Segua Kingdom. I defeated Neo Zeed and Aoi Satan for them to save Ora Ora," said the blue haired warrior.

"You know, Gear. You actually remind me a lot like Sonic and I wouldn't be surprised if you were fast as him," said Tails jokingly.

"Actually, I'm the fastest thing alive and could be evenly matched with this Sonic friend of yours," said Gear in his usual bragging rights manner.

Tails was speechless and wondered if this was coincidence or not. He thought about it at first until he heard a deep roar.

"Not now, well talk later! We apparently ran into some rogue dragons at the moment," he said.

The transmission ended and Gear freaks out when he notices the emerald missing. He touched all over his shorts in an attempt to look for the emerald and everyone else panicked as well when they knew exactly what went wrong.

"What happened to the Chaos Emerald?" he demanded.

A high pitch snickering can be heard from the sky and everyone looked to see Goodle riding his purple bird Goodle to catch up with his crew. He had a shining gem in his hand that they had at first and glared at the sinister minion.

"Now you guys failed at securing a single emerald. Reala will be so proud of me for what I did," said the pint sized Nightmaren.

Gear is the angriest of the entire group since he least expected someone vile enough to steal the gem that he worked hard to retrieve. He jumped after him in an attempt to stop the pint sized troublemaker, but was knocked out by a mysterious force. Gear dropped his jaw when he noticed what stopped him. It was none other than Chamelan the Magician, a reptilian second level Nightmaren that is know for his magic tricks. He takes off his top hat and bows towards his "audience" before the battle begins. He disappears in the sky as everyone else gets cautious. Clippen, who was released by Billy earlier, sensed him and attacks his "invisible" hiding spot. He is eventually revealed and Gear attacks him viciously with his speedy attacks. He dodges his last strike and disappears, this time leaving his cape behind with a few floating cards levitating in different directions.

Each card was a different type and half of them were transparent. Joe uses this as an opportunity to sense for him as Billy and friends attack the other cards. Alex Kid uses the Wizard's Wand to levitate towards where Joe points and punches the air to reveal Chamelan from his hiding spot. He blasts him with the Power Bracelet and allows Joe to attack him with a powerful "Rakurai no Jutsu" technique. The reptilian Nightmaren shrieks and disappears for good while each part of his body vanishes slowly. This was good sign that he was defeated, though that didn't stop the fact that Goodle stole the Chaos Emerald. This led to everyone being depressed, especially Gear who felt responsible for losing the emerald that easily. He looked at the ground in despair, like how he did when he failed a mission in the past.

"I can't believe that we lost the emerald that easily," said Gear.

"It's alright because the others already found one by now," said Alex Kidd.

"Guys, take care of Morning Land while I'm gone. I'll join these guys for now," said Billy.

Rolly and the others waved and left to see how the citizens were doing. Gear tried his best to calm down and let it go, but he's still grieving over the fact that he had failed his new friends' mission. Everyone else felt sorry for him, but knew that they had more important things to worry about. All except Amy, since seeing him this depressed reminds her of how Sonic felt one time in the past.

"Thanks a lot, Billy. Now we need to find out where to head to next," said Joe.

"We can catch up with Sonic and the others since we have no idea where the other emeralds are for now," said Amy.

"We might as well go since that's our only option," said Gear sadly.

Alex and Amy rode the Sukopako Motorcycle and Billy rolled his egg as Joe and Gear followed being on foot since they are fast enough. A red robot can be seen standing on the Giant Egg and watches them. He looks exactly like E-102 Gamma except something seemed different.

This is a pretty great chapter only Morning Land was saved, but another Legion of Subspace commander was lost at the hands of the heroes. This chapter was also shocking since Goodle stole the emerald from Gear while everyone was distracted and Gamma makes an appearance at the end of the chapter. Considering his other reincarnations, it's currently unknown whether he's working for Eggman or helping the others get the emeralds. I'm a little torn on whether I should focus on Knuckles or Sonic' group in the next chapter. I think about it over the weekend and in the meantime, wait for next week's exciting chapter of Sonic Sega All Stars: Subspace Unleashed.
