Sonic Chronicles: The Series

Shine’s mind was rendered blank, unknown to what he just said. One moment, he was thrown into the cold pit of death; a warm light filled his entire body. It was as if a flame had been lit inside his very soul. It was soothing. He returned to reality. His eye lids flew open and the first thing he saw was everyone’s petrified stares. The chimeras jaw fell open with a questioning growl, the immune were as stiff as statues, and the new Guardian’s eyes were wide. Their looks made him feel alien to them.
“What?” Shine asked in confusion. “What’s everyone staring at?”
“Glow...” Chaos said slowly. “...Is that...you?”
“Of course it’s me.” Shine said, offended. “Why wouldn’t it be?”
“But you’re so...” Obsidian said, trying to find the right word. “...different.”
“Different? How can I be...?” His voice trailed off as he stared down at his new hands. “What happened to me?”
“He’s become.” Aero said.
“A guardian.” Frost said in awe.
The chimeras snapped themselves back into reality, the hydra being the first. The fiendish serpent reeled back its head and shot another current of water.
“Look out!” Heat cried.
Shine caught sight of the attack and jumped out of the way. Shine jumped twenty feet in the air to dodge, but he didn’t come down. Did the gravity stop working, he asked himself. The Guardians and immune stared impossibly, pointing at him. The reality of it all came to him like a jab in the face.
“I’m flying.” Shine said shockingly. He soon started laughing and yelled. “I’m flying!!”
“I thought I was the only one who could fly?” Aero said.
“Since when do hedgehogs shoot killer blasts from the hands?” Heat retorted, remembering Zionist.
“Fair point.” Chaos nodded.
The chimeras were mot as easily amused as the immune were. The hydra, clearly the leader of the pack, chocked out a gurgling roar. A moment later, over fifty flying chimera swooped down from the cliffs. Shine turned in one direction and zipped away with the flying chimeras following. The hydra returned its attention to its original pray; a painful sting stabbed its eye a moment later. The hydra, with its one remaining eye, found Heat with his fist held out; his fire fully reignited.
“That oughta burn you up.” Heat said, chuckling at his own joke.
“Leave the jokes to the professionals.” Chaos sweat dropped.
“Chao, chao.” Lucky nodded.
“Everyone’s a critic.” Heat muttered.
The hydra roared again and twenty different chimeras jumped out of the water. A crocodile chimera tried to snap its jaws over Heat’s legs, but Heat had already increased the temperature surrounding his body, making it too unbearable. The croc died of dehydration. All the while, Electra was trying to fend off a ravenous spider chimera. With one of her arms broken, she was forced to swat away its legs with the other. One of the spider’s long legs tripped her. It tried to stab its venomous fangs, but Chaos jabbed his fist into its mouth. The spider was soon dehydrated.
“Do you think we can take them all?” Electra asked; her back against the other guardians.
“Not like we have a choice.” Heat said, kicking back a lion chimera.
“Can’t the others help us?” Frost said desperately.
“Not likely.” Obsidian said, staring at the petrified immune. “Looks like the six of us are on our own.”
At that moment, five chimeras dropped in from the side. There was no way the six could move fast enough to avoid them. Suddenly, a whip cracked at two of there necks; two purple sphere disintegrated two of them; a grey blur clawed against the last’s chest. A fox, a shark, and the rhino joined by the heroes side.
“Need a hand?” The rhino smirked. “Or six?”
“You’re willing to help us?” Heat questioned.
“Of course.” The shark grinned. “We can’t let you six have all the fun.”
“Keep your guard up, because here they come!” The fox warned.
More chimeras formed from the water under the hydra’s command. Now it was the immune's turn to fight. The shark created another round of purple spheres that destroyed the chimeras on contact. The fox kept at a distance and cracked his whip the snap the chimeras necks. The rhino, an expert at close-range combat, ran up to a group smashing them all. Meanwhile, high in the air, Shine was keeping himself amused, despite the ongoing battle, by outstripping the other flyer chimeras.
“Come on, you can do better than that.” Shine sniggered.
Despite their adept flying abilities, none of them could ever hope to catch up with the golden flyer. Realizing this, they fell back. Shine, thinking they had given up, turned back and gave a sign of victory. Not one of his more brilliant ideas. The flying chimeras lined up in rows, opening their mouths to him. Over a hundred thin beams shot at him at once. Shine panicked and started panicking. One beams struck him in the shoulder, and another scraped against his shin. Shine plummeted into the lake below. His vision was blurry, but he distinctly saw the outline of a gigantic shark. Shine quickly swam backwards, not letting the shark out of his sight. It tried to clamp its jaw down on him, but its teeth broke when they came in contact with Shine's skin. The shark whimpered away as Shine joined his friends back on the shore.
“Whew, that was a close one.” Shine panted; his back against the shark’s “How are we doing so far?”
“Not good.” The fox informed, his whip strangled another chimera. “We might be able to hold them off for an hour at the least, but not forever.”
“And those cowards aren’t even lifting a finger to help.” The shark growled; His glare directed towards the immune. “After all our hard work, this is the thanks we get?”
“Somehow, I’m not surprised.” The rhino said disapprovingly. He clawed the face of another chimera.
“There are too many of them.” Chaos said. “The fox’s right, we can’t take them forever. Maybe we should just give up.”
“No!” Shine exclaimed. “We are not giving up!”
“But Shine, what can we do against them?” Electra said hopelessly. “We are out numbered and outmatched.”
“I don’t care!” Shine roared. “We have come too far too just quit now. I have lived these past seven years, following a path my father had left me. And that has led me here. This is just one obstacle that we must overcome.”
“What makes you so sure we can win?” The fox questioned.
“As long as there is a small light of hope, I will never stop fighting!” Shine said. “The only way to end it is if Mage is defeated.” He held a cold claw out; a green orb began to form in his palm. He thrust the orb into the sky, which took the form of a large portal. “This will take us directly into the dimension of Mage. What do ya say, guys?” Shine asked excitingly. “Shall we get going?”
“You go on, Shine.” Heat said proudly. “It’s your destiny to defeat him, ours is here.”
“We’ll be rooting for you.” Electra said.
Shine smiled at his friends. They believed in him, just as his father did. He pushed himself off the ground and zipped skyward through the portal. It closed behind him just as another swarm of chimeras began to emerge over the Cliffside.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The trip through the portal was not the most pleasurable experience Shine ever had. It felt like he was being force through a very thin tube; suffocating him. Finally, he could breath again.
“Fascinating items, aren’t they?” Shine whipped around as Mage walked under the light of the stones. “I, too, found myself staring at them for hours when I first saw them.”
“Should I even care?” Shine retorted.
“I think that you would.” Mage said. “Those are called Soul Stones. They represent each and every Guardian, monitoring their life.”
“Right now all I care about is kicking you’re butt.” Shine said arrogantly.
“You really think you stand a chance against me?” Mage laughed. “You are but a mere stepping stone in my path.”
“I think I proved myself strong enough.” Shine said, glaring.
Mage raised both of his fists to the ceiling and slammed them down on the floor. A sudden fissure formed beneath Shine, who jumped away seconds before falling in. Mage slammed his foot to the ground and razor sharp spikes formed from below. The formed a cage around Shine. With one flick of his claw, one huge spike formed below Shine and he had nowhere to go. From a close-up inspection, Mage could spot blood slipping down one of the spikes.
“The poor young fool.” Mage shook his head, walking away. “He could have lived longer if he had been wiser.”
“Don’t count me out just yet!”
Mage spun around on his heel. A light burst from the cage and smashed into the side of his face. The dark master was sent flying backwards. He sat up and found Shine with his fist held outwards. Besides the large gash on his arm, he looked perfectly unharmed. Mage glared; he saw something black fall on the ground. He touched his face and felt something he believed impossible: a cut. It was etched all the way from top to bottom on the side of his face. No one, not even Zionist, had ever been able to pierce his skin.
“Th-that’s impossible.” Mage stammered. “My skin in impenetrable. No one should be able to do that.”
“Then just call me no one.” Shine chuckled amusingly.
“Y-you’ll...” Mage shook, furious and frighten. “You’ll pay for you defiance.”
“I don’t even know the meaning of the word defiance.” Shine said.
“Acting brave will get you nowhere.” Mage growled.
“No, seriously, I don’t know the meaning.” Shine said embarrassingly.
Mage was not waiting to be made a fool. He pushed himself up off the floor with his fist held forward. Shine caught it with ease. Mage was red with anger as he pulled himself away. But there was one problem: he was stuck. Shine’s grip remained strong around Mage’s fist. Shine grinned broadly and he closed his palm. Mage’s fist was shattered. He cried out in pain and felt back in a crumpled heap, dying.
“Not so foolish now, am I?” Shine said prideful.
“You...you...” Mage spoke, but could think of nothing to say as his life disappeared.
“Well, he won’t be causing anymore problems.” Shine said; he focused around the dark corridor. “Now to return.”
“You’re not exactly one to talk.” A familiar voice echoed through the corridors.
Shine never had a chance to find out where it had come from. After that no one ever heard from Shine again.
---------------------------------------
‘Shine I promise I will find you.’ Chaos thought.
---------------------------------------
Back at the lair of Apocalypse, Nightmare was walking in the prison room. He walked for awhile before stopping at a certain cage. “So Shine, how are you doing today?” Nightmare asked.
“Fine. And you?” Shine asked.
“Smart. Because Apocalypse will take over all life. You and the other guardians should have opposed current life, which is why you will now all die.” Nightmare said.
“Let’s see about that.” Shine said before extended his claw onto Nightmare’s head.
VISION
“Nightmare, you have failed me for the last time.” Apocalypse said.
“Please master. Give me one more chance.” Nightmare begged.
“No more chances. You are now part of my diet.” Apocalypse said before he called his heartless to hold him down. “Goodbye Nightmare.” Apocalypse said as he snapped his jaws on his entire body.
END OF VISION
“I can’t believe it. What was I thinking; most of his minions have been eaten by him already. If I fail again he’ll eat me.” Nightmare said.
“You can prevent this from happening. Come back to the good side.” Shine said.
Nightmare responded by ripping the bars of the cage off. “Come on. We have to hurry and escape.” Nightmare said.

“Go, my pretties!” Apocalypse cackled, “Destroy! Destroy! Make the humans know that you are the masters!” Six dragoon nobodies were causing all sorts of chaos in the downtown of Westopolis. G.U.N. was on the scene, doing their insufficient best to fight off the monsters...because the bullets from their guns simply bounced off the dragoons’ hides as if they were mere rubber balls. Meanwhile, the dragoons were absolutely destroying everything with their spears.
“Hey, coming through!” Leon said in his usual cocky manner as he leapt off one of the buildings and right into one of the dragoons’ heads with a homing attack. He had also caught wind of this activity, and decided to have some fun. Apocalypse only chuckled in amusement. He had hoped that Leon would come, for he was an important part of his real plan.
“Smite that blue hedgehog, my pets!” he screeched, pointing at Leon. Three of the dragoons turned their attention to Leon, and threw their spears at him. Leon deftly dodged them, of course. Moments later, Blur and Geisy appeared on the scene, much to the surprise of the troops.
“Leon!” Geisy yelled. “Blur and I have come to help!”
“I’m fine, you two! Take down the other three!” he yelled back as he vaulted over a pair of spears. Blur and Geisy, without second thoughts, began their own attacks. None of them had any idea what Apocalypse was really up to.
Fool…I have him right where I want him, Apocalypse said to himself. He continued to watch the chaos from afar, waiting for just the right moment. His dragoons were getting beaten around by repeated homing attacks, but did not back down, for they knew their true mission.
As Leon vaulted over a dragoon’s head about fifteen away from Apocalypse, the trap was sprung. He cast a strange net at Leon, ensnaring him in midair. The dragoons suddenly stopped and began to fly away. They did what they had been told to do, and there was no need for any more destruction.
“Leon!” Geisy yelled when she saw this.
“Bring the seven Chaos Emeralds to the land of Mares!”
“Geisy! Blur! Don’t listen!” Leon yelled back.
-- -- -- -- --
“Hello Espia, Airshark…” Apocalypse said as he entered the main chamber, with Leon behind him, bound by hands and feet. Heartless and nobodies were at work around the area, but all stopped to see this guest.
“Excellent! You have the prize!” Airshark said gleefully to him before turning to Leon. “Well, look how the mighty have fallen!" He turned back to Apocalypse.
“So…what IS the big plan?”
“You’re such a nosy little shark!” Apocalypse replied with a chuckle. He began whispering something into Airshark’s ear, and the shark’s expression turned from casual interest to an evil grin.
“That’s fiendish! Absolutely underhanded! Such beautiful disaster! It’s brilliant!” Airshark screamed.
“What are you two creeps talking about?” Leon spat. “If I ever get out of these chains, I’m going to give you two such a butt-kicking!” Leon struggled with bonds, but to no avail. The two laughed at Leon’s pathetic effort.
“You can’t escape them!” Apocalypse mocked. “They were forged from dark adamant! It’s virtually unbreakable! The Doctor’s robots were also armored with the non-dark version metal.”
Leon was incensed by this statement. “You won’t get away with it! The bad guys always get what’s coming to them, one way or another!”
“Go, my pawns, get that fool out of my sight!” Apocalypse said. Three heartless grabbed Leon and dragged him away.
-- -- -- -- --
The television in the G.U.N. office gave only dismal news. “Nobody attacks continue across the globe as G.U.N. forces do their very best to contain this new menace that seems to have appeared out of nowhere.
The commander stood up from his desk when he saw the image of Geisy and Blur. He then smiled and sat back down in his chair. The work on his secret pet project was nearing its culmination. One of the officers burst in.
“Sir, Another attack in…um, what are you smiling about, sir?” the officer asked.
“All the work on of our greatest project ever is nearing fruition…I think it’s time we gave him a call…it’s time that the truth be known.”
“What are you talking about, sir?”
“That’s classified information, soldier…now…where was that attack?”
“In the European Federation capital, sir…we’re estimating 5,000 people injured. These creatures are unstoppable …”
“Blur’s going to be the one to stop them. You’re dismissed, soldier.”
The officer saluted the commander and left.
Extremely bored; these were the two words that could describe Leon’s state of mind as he sat there, languishing in the jail cell. Even after less than six hours, he was already about to go crazy. But his maddening solitude would soon be cut short by the arrival of someone who would change him forever…
“Lemme go, you black monsters!” a girl’s voice, somewhat deeper than Geisy’s, screamed as the metallic footsteps of Neo shadow heartless rang through the small stairwell. They came in, dragging a female hedgehog, no doubt the owner of the voice. She was struggling ferociously, but the four neo shadows managed to hold on to her before tossing her into a cell very close to Leon’s. As they locked the cell door, she tried to rush them, but she could not do anything. When the neo shadows left, she slowly calmed down.
The girl hedgehog, about Leon’s age, was a dark pink color, which brought out her nearly sapphire blue eyes. Her attire would have easily let her blend in at a rock concert. She had on a black T-shirt that had the Heartless symbol. Her jeans were ripped in several places, and her dark shoes were all dirty. Leon was eager for conversation, so he decided to ease the newcomer’s anger.
“Hello!” he said in his usual rash manner. The girl gave him a short glance, before beginning to pace the floor. Obviously she wasn’t in the mood to talk…but Leon was persistent, even when given the cold shoulder.
“So you wanna be rude!?” he called. The girl sighed, and turned to face the blue hedgehog.
“Hello to you, too…” she grunted, before going back to her pacing. Leon was incensed. No girl he had ever met had dared to answer him like that. So he tried again.
“The name’s Leon. I guess we’ll be stuck together for a while. So we might as well talk no matter how much we hate it. So…why don’t you give me your name, so we can actually make some decent conversation?”
The girl turned to face him again. “If you really want to know my name…it happens to Emily, HAPPY NOW?”
Leon stood up. “Emily, huh? That’s a pretty good name. I'm Leon.”
“You must have pretty lame parents,” Emily replied. She seemed to be getting interested. “What are they like?” Her expression turned from a cold expression of indifference to a small smirk of mild inquiry.
Leon stopped for a minute. “I don’t have any.” he replied. “I’m just a figure in the shadows bro n from the darkness of Blur.”
Emily’s look now shifted to a look of dejected sadness. “To tell you the truth…I am too.” Emily was silent for a second, as if she was trying to grasp what she had just said.
“You're living darkness too?” Leon replied in a surprising way that seemed very unlike what he usually was.
“You sounded like such an airhead when you said that! Oh, man, that’s rich!”
Despite the fact that he had just been poked fun at, Leon began to laugh along with her. It didn’t last long, but both seemed to be cheered up significantly afterwards. The dreary cell seemed to brighten just a little at that moment. Emily finally initiated a new topic.
“So…what does that dragon guy want with you?” she asked.
“Apocalypse? He’s trying to remake the universe so nothing, but evil remains.” Leon said.
Leon began to grow angry. He held up a clenched fist. “That monster…if we ever get out of here, I swear that he will pay dearly! Not just for capturing me, but stealing my life, I can't remember anything before I met him.”
“You…would do that?” Emily asked.
“I promise…but I can’t do that now…” Leon said.
“You’re kinda cool.” Emily said.
Leon blushed at the comment which Emily failed to notice.
‘I’m blushing? Could I be…feeling an emotion?’ Leon thought.
"Hey Leon." The two turned to see Nightmare and Shine before they ripped the bars off.
"You're helping us?" Leon said.
"I'll explain later, now let's get out of here." Nightmare said.
“Help me!” Blur said. While he was searching for a town he accidentally got his clothes stuck on some branches.
“This is so stupid.” Mach said trying to free Blur, but he was lazy while doing it and he just let Blur hit the ground when he was freed.
“I’m okay.” Blur said standing up. Soon everyone but Geisy was laughing their heads off.
“What’s so funny?” Blur asked.
“Look at your shirt.” Mach said. Blur looked at his shirt to see it all ripped up.
“Great. Now I’ve gotta get a new shirt.” Blur said.
“Don’t….worry…Blur…the next town…is just up… ahead.” Chaos said in between laughs.
A few minutes later they made it into the town, but to their surprise the only creatures were…echidnas.
“Echidnas? But I thought Knuckles, Shade, Rachael and Hammer were the only 4 left.” Chaos said.
“Well I guess that’s not true.” Dash said.
“Hey guys!” Everyone turned to see Leon with Emily.
“Leon. How’d you get away from Apocalypse?” Tech asked.
“I freed him” The group turned to see Nightmare and SHine.
“Shine.” Chaos said.
“Long time no see!” Star said.
“He’s a guardian?” Wing asked.
“Did we forget to mention that?” Electra asked.
“Hey Leon who’s your friend.” Geisy asked.
“This is Emily, Apocalypse locked her up to.” Leon said.
“Well one thing I do know is that we have to find the city’s cardinals. They have an ancient weapon that was used by god called the keyblade the we need to succeed in the land of mares.” Chaos said.
“This is gonna be fun.” Blur said before the whole town started laughing at him because of his ripped shirt.
“Once I get a new shirt.” Blur said rushing to a store.
“While Blur’s gone me and Leon will talk to the cardinals.” Emily said before she gabeed Leon’s hand and ran off.
“Who gave you permission to enter here?” the well-dressed middle-aged echidna, obviously one of the Cardinals, roared when Emily and Leon entered his room. He had been filing some papers when this disturbance to his work occurred.
“Excuse me…you’re one of the Cardinals, right?” Emily asked in a nervous manner.
“Of course I am! I’m a very busy echidna, and have no time for those who did not get an appointment. The matter would have to be of concern to echidnas everywhere before I’d listen to a word you say! Be gone before I call the guards.” The cardinal said.
“Is that any way to speak to a Blur Team member?” Emily yelled.
“Prove it, if you think you can.” The cardinal said.
Soon Leon pulled out the official Blur Team communicator. After awhile Leon and Emily explained the full situation.
“So, what’s this thing Blur has to do for you?” Leon asked.
“There is a great archfiend named Mares. He was sealed away ages ago, but the recent cataclysms have shattered his seal, and now he is wreaking havoc on our kind. He has being laying siege on this citadel for the past several days, but you arrive during a lapse of his activity.” The cardinal said.
“Does he have any connection with Apocalypse?” Leon asked.
“There is none that we are aware of. He always liked doing things his own way, and does not like taking orders without a good reason. We’re pretty sure this fiend is working for himself. Thankfully, we just so happen to have the very blade that sealed him away before. We Cardinals are willing to give it to your friend.” The cardinal said.
“Great. Anything else we need to know?” Leon asked.
“Yes…this will require that Blur enter the fiend’s own realm. He cannot be destroyed in this world, only driven out. His lands are dangerous and filled with his minions. Even the very atmosphere can be potentially toxic. The keyblade will be able to protect you, but should you lose it, you may very well die.” The cardinal said.
“Heh…that little matter certainly makes things a lot more interesting. I think we’re up for it!” Leon said.
The cardinal chuckled. “Your bravado surprises, and in a certain way, pleases me. The office of the curator for the Academy’s collection is just down the hall. He’s one of my fellow Cardinals, but I am the highest-ranking. He’ll lend you the sword if you tell him I allowed it.”
“Thanks buddy. You won’t regret picking the Blur Team for this job!” Leon said.
-- -- -- -- --
“Man, I’m glad you could get us these sweet rooms on such short notice, Emily!” Leon quipped as he hopped onto one of the beds in the room.
Emily seemed happy that Leon was happy for once. Leon was tempted to launch into one of his cheesy morality speeches, but felt like it wasn’t the proper time. Besides, something else was on his mind as well…something that had been gnawing away at him for quite some time. He had been itching to say it, but never had the courage to.
“Emily…I’ve been thinking lately…you know we’re friends and all…” Leon stopped before he continued. “We’ve been friends for a while, y’know?”
“You can’t argue with that logic.” Emily said.
“And sometimes…friends feel like becoming…well, more than before. And…I feel like we’ve gotten to know each other enough…that maybe we could be…more?” Leon asked.
“Well, I’m not sure that’s possible. I mean don’t we have no emotions?” Emily asked.
"I once thought that until we met, I felt something that moment."
Chaos walked in at that moment. “Guys, you've been with Apocalypse before. He probably has what you truely are with him, once this is over, I'm garrenteed you'll be as normal as anyone.” Chaos said. “But until then, the most important thing is that you follow what you feel right here.” Chaos said pointing where Leon would have a heart.
“But I don’t have a heart.” Leon said.
“Everyone has a heart Leon; you just have to find it.” Chaos said.
--------------------------------
The next day came and the some of the team was standing at the portal. Blur was holding the keyblade in his new shirt. (The only difference was the rad parts weren't there and the tornado was replaced with a Blue S)
“Get ready Mares, your going down.” Blur said.

“That’s weird…no guards.” Geisy quipped as she peered at the massive, swirling portal. “This is way too easy. I’m sure there’s an ambush or something.
“If there’s an ambush, I’m sure we can handle it. Even Tech here could give them a good thrashing…”
“I’m getting impatient…” Hammer grumbled. “Can we get started?”
With a nod, Tech marched out of the cover and stood next to the portal. He could feel a toxic atmosphere seeping out in tiny quantities, but he was not bothered. But he did have concern for Blur and Geisy. Soon, one of the demons strode out of the portal. With a swift swipe of his hand, he sent the grunt flying. More began pouring out at a stupendous rate.
Hammer and a hundred or more other echidna warriors then rushed out of cover and began to counter the river of fiendish soldiers. Rosie began blasting the monstrous soldiers a few at a time with her staff.
Blur and Geisy managed to avoid this frantic melee, and slipped through the portal. Blur drew the keyblade, and its light emanated out, shielding the two hedgehogs from the atmosphere.
-- -- -- -- --
The realm of Mares was a nightmarish one. The sky was entirely red, interrupted only by smog clouds. Grey mountains rose on the horizon, and great gouts of flame shot out of cracks in the ground nearby and bats flitted about in the sky.
The feature that dominated the area was an evil castle made of black rock, probably obsidian or something. It had to be the lair of the archfiend. It absolutely screamed “evil castle of doom” in the figurative sense.
“Talk about convenient…” Blur quipped. “He’s obviously not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Why would you place a portal to your world right next to your castle?”
“…Maybe so your troops don’t have to walk for miles to get to the nearest portal?” Geisy answered.
“That was a rhetorical question.” Blur said.
The two set off avoiding being seen by any patrols. It wasn’t long before they had reached the castle. They could now see that it was surrounded by a large lava moat.
“Geez…Mares sure lacks creativity,” Blur whispered. “I mean…lava? He could seriously do better. Even Egghog had more creative defenses.”
“So how do we get in?” Blur then wondered. “Those walls look pretty smooth…and the front gate is obviously out of the question…I wish we could just…”
As he said this, he felt an increased energy level behind him. When he turned around, it was Geisy, who had assumed her Super form, and had a broad smirk that screamed “In your face.”
“Geisy…that is so annoying, and yet…so cool; I forgot that you could do that.”
Blur went into his super form before the two began floating upwards, and both searched for an open window. They found one about thirty feet up, and entered through there.
-- -- -- -- --
The interior of the castle was just as clichéd as the outside…dark, gloomy, arching halls with creepy paintings and ominous statues that were staring at you everywhere you looked. Both hedgehogs were starting to wonder just what they were up against. There were very few guards around, so the two wandered the castle in relative safety, in search of the archfiend’s throne room.
As they rounded a corner, both encountered a tiny demon jester, all painted in white and black, and dressed in a blue and red jester’s outfit. Geisy immediately stopped short, and started shaking in fear. Memories of that incident came rushing into her mind…the very appearance of this unassuming jester terrified her down to the depths of her soul. Her reaction was rushed in the other direction.
“Geisy!” Blur cried and started off after her, unsure of why she had suddenly took off. The jester, however, tittered with fiendish glee, and followed them. The two intruders had no idea of the power he possessed…he was a demon who instantly knew the deepest, darkest fears of any being he laid eyes on. Still, he was surprised that Geisy had reacted in such a manner to his very presence.
Blur eventually managed to find Geisy in one of the castle’s dead ends, curled up the corner, shaking like a cold child. She was in tears.
“Geisy…what’s wrong?” he asked.
“Make him go away…the scary clown…he’ll kill us both…” Geisy mumbled. The sound of the clown demon’s impish tittering rang out, and Geisy shrank even more into her phobic state. Blur whirled around to see the Fool of Fear standing there.
“You…” Blur said with his typical tone of righteous indignation, “What have you done to her, you wretch?”
“She took one look at me and bolted. My mere visage seems to make her afraid!”
“You don’t scare me, you shrimp…I’m going to take you out real quick.” Blur readied the sword. But the jester was not intimidated in the least, and only cackled again. Geisy was now reduced to a whimpering, catatonic shell of her former self, and Blur was now really angry.”
“Stop tormenting her! Tell me who you are!”
“Me? Why, I’m Mares, archfiend of this realm! I am also known as the Fool of Fear! Isn’t that lovely, hmm? I know what you fear…” the imp tittered. “Oh, yes indeed-y.”
“Oh, really…tell me…what do I fear most?”
The imp simply raised his hand, palm facing Blur, and with a snap of his fingers, a veritable tsunami rushed out, plowing headlong into the blue blur. And, just like with Geisy, Blur’s dark fear, in this case, of being underwater. He struggled helplessly in the water, and soon blacked out…
-- -- -- -- --
Blur woke up to find that he was alive after all, and trapped in a dingy jail cell with Geisy. He glanced over to see the keyblade sitting on a nearby table. But for some unknown reason the keyblade returned to Blur’s hands. Geisy was huddled up in one of the corners again, but seemed okay. Blur sat down next to her.
“Well, isn’t this a fine mess we’ve gotten ourselves into…” Blur sighed. “We got schooled by an eighteen-inch-tall imp in a jester’s outfit.”
“Blur, about what happened…it’s my fault. If I hadn’t gotten all scared like that, we could have taken care of him right there…”
“Scared?” Blur exclaimed. “You were downright terrified. These type of fears are rooted in a horrid memory…trust me on this one.” Blur got very close, and put his arms around Geisy. In response, Geisy leaned on Blur’s shoulder.
“Now…tell me what happened…”
Geisy described that horrible memory…the clowns, the gun to her head, the laughing of their boss...all in terrifying detail. She finally admitted to him that she was absolutely terrified of anything relating to clowns...a full-blown phobia. Blur listened with surprising serenity, nodding on occasion.
“Wow…I can see why you’re so scared…well, I really don’t like water. I can’t stand being in more water than a filled bathtub. Total immersion gets me spooked. I got it because my father had it.”
“How are we supposed to defeat this demon if he can use our own fears against us?” Geisy sighed.
“We would have to conquer our fears, but that may be impossible…”
This touching moment was interrupted by Mares’ tittering as he came down the stairs to the dungeon. Geisy started to quake in fear, but Blur managed to calm her down with a simple nudge. The archfiend came into the room, flanked by two large, muscular bull-like minions armed with spears.
“Well, well…isn’t this touching?” Mares tittered. “Our two hedgehogs are in love! Let’s break it up, boys!” The two bulls opened the cell and snatched Geisy from the corner. She was far too terrified to fight, and started screaming in terror and pain, with the persistent cackle of Mares. Blur was immediately locked back up again and she was taken to another room.
The combined sound of her screams and the demon’s fiendish laughter had a strange effect on Blur. Something inside of him seemed to boil and rush through him. His fear was mixing around in his head, and something from deep within him was trying to burst out. Blur’s courage and bravery grew more and more, fueled by his desire to protect Geisy. Then, a barrier in him shattered…and a wave of inner power coursed through him.
His body flashed and his clothes changed they were now Red and Black with Red Cross markings that had silver outlines, he held a second keyblade in his other hand with the colors switched. (Think of Sora’s Valor form from Kingdom Hearts 2) he had become Valor Blur.
With clarity unlike anything he had felt before, Blur knew what he had to do. With a single kick, he knocked the cell door down. Blur rushed in to save the one he cared for most…
Blur kicked at the door to the room where Geisy’s screams are coming from. It flies off the hinges and lands with an unassuming thud on the floor. All three of those creeps look at Blur, and the imp squeals in surprise.
“Uh…boys…we have an intruder!” I heard the imp say uneasily. The two bulls dropped Geisy and strode towards Blur. He simply swung the keyblades twice at them, and they both turned to dust. Now Mares is scared himself.
“Oh…s-so you think you’re a b-big shot, huh,” Mares stammers, “T-take this!” He shoots another blast of water out of his hands, but it doesn’t scare Blur, as he hopes and it turns into a drop of water. Seeing that it doesn’t work, he drops onto his tiny knees and begs for mercy. It made Blur angry though…how dare this creep beg for what he gave no one else. Blur thrust a keyblade right through him, and then raised him up. He flailed there in pain, yelping and moaning before he turned to dust, just like his minions.
“B-Blur…” Geisy muttered.
“Save your strength, Geisy…” Blur said.
Apocalypse said as he watched the G.U.N. helicopter move toward their position. “They’re coming…just like I hoped they would.” The two stood on the roof of the base.
“So…what do you plan to do?” Espia asked. “And why do you need the Chaos Emeralds…as if I didn’t know!”
“Oh, you’ll see very soon!” Apocalypse said eagerly.
As the helicopter moved into position, Geisy’s and Blur’s heads poked out of the door. Apocalypse’s expression of evil glee turned more disturbing than normal. The moment he had waited for in so many millennia was at hand. Geisy and Blur deftly dropped from the helicopter, and stood face-to-face with the demon and the chameleon, the latter starting to back away. Meanwhile the helicopter had flown into the distance.
Apocalypse pulled out a remote and pressed a large button in the center. Each of the spires emitted an arc of electricity, and then arcing right at Blur. Blur was caught by the arcs, and Geisy was blown back. Immediately a large dome of green energy surrounded the roof, blocking any access from outside it.
“Blur!” Geisy cried as she futilely tried to break the barrier with her feet.
“I can’t believe you fools actually fell for that!” Apocalypse cackled. “Now my dream shall be realized! Let the ritual of transformation begin!”
The demon began to circle Blur, dripping a strange silvery blue liquid as he walked. With a wild look in his eyes, he screamed the words that completed the ritual: “Korea urban dos vain Hemi Volcano Dark!” The Chaos Emeralds began to flash rapidly, and shot beams of light right onto Blur, engulfing him in a massive glowing field.
Apocalypse watched in wild earnest as he awaited the result, while Geisy was struck in stupefied awe. When the light faded away, he cackled with fiendish joy. Blur had completely disappeared, and in his place was a huge dragon, almost forty feet long, with a wingspan at least twice that. Streaks of red ran across its back, and its long, crocodilian head was topped with a pair of awesome curved horns, and two eyes, peering out.
“Behold Volcanic, king of all dragon-kind! And he is under my control, making me the ruler of all dragons!
As Volcanic reared back to devour Geisy, he was suddenly interrupted by a smaller dragon who rammed him in the side, causing him to topple over. Two more dragons followed suit, one grabbing Geisy with its claws, and carrying her away. Apocalypse watched all this in astonishment.
-- -- -- -- -- --
“Ugh…where are we?” Geisy groaned when she came to. It was completely dark, and he couldn’t see anything.
“You are safe now.” A deep voice sounded.
“Who said that?” Geisy said, turning her head every which way to find the source of the voice. A huge gout of flame roared over her head, igniting a large pile of logs several yards behind them. The firelight revealed the three dragons that had saved her.
“Apocalypse must be exerting his influence through your friend’s soul. Volcanic and Blur, share the same body.”
“It seems you have strong feelings for the boy that’s in our king.” the first dragon said, “And if he shares the same affections, then perhaps you can get through to him. I know it sounds childish, but the bond between two individuals who love each other does hold surprising power.”
“I’ll try anything to save Blur…” Geisy said with no disguise of his desperation.
“Then try this recording.” The dragon said pressing the play button.
“If you are listening to this sound clip, the worst has happened. This contains everything one would need to know about the true nature of Apocalypse aka the Black Chaos Emerald.”
“We risked the destruction of the entire universe destroying him with the dimension Elemarious. It was the riskiest thing we ever did, but luckily the universe wasn’t destroyed, but the balance of the world was corrupted.”
“We soon learned the dimension of Poseidon was being attacked by a hedgehog the Black Chaos Emerald made; Zionist.”
“We knew we had to stop Apocalypse, so we created what people now call powers.”
"Blur…your our only hope now, Apocalypse knows you’re the key that will unlock the door the holds the knight of ice's heart prison and only you can open it, but more importantly you mustn’t be cocky all the time and use your own intelligence to help you fight and break Apocalypse’s seal."
“Apocalypse is planning, if he has not already done so, to use you for evil ends.”
“I know you are strong. From the day I first saw you, I could tell that there was more to your life than this. Your friends all hope for your prosperity.”
“Don’t let Apocalypse take your life away from you. I beg you…don’t become anyone’s tool…you must…live …your own way…goodbye forever.” The recording stopped.

"King Volcanic,” one of the remaining dragons whispered to Blur.
“Ah, good…you are awake, and free of Apocalypse’s control, just as we had hoped.”
“I was…under his control?” Blur exclaimed in Volcanic’s voice. In fact, Volcanic’s personality was in control of the body at the moment. “But, I cannot be controlled! No one dares tells Volcanic what to do!”
“You’re as headstrong as ever, my King,” the dragon replied with a chuckle. “But the one whose body you are using is the one bound to him. And he only obeys him because Apocalypse can control his actions while his conscious is in control. We must somehow prevent him from coming out or we must release him. Until that time, you must do your best to suppress him, and find the one named Geisy. She is the only one who can save him.”
“But how can we escape this infernal place? Even I cannot sunder walls of dark adamant…”
“Apocalypse wants you to live, remember? As long as you act as if you are under his control, his guard will be down. Now, tell me what you think of this plan…”
-- -- -- -- --
“My brethren,” Apocalypse began. “We are at the threshold of reviving your dominance on this planet! Your King has returned, and as long as he wills it, you must obey him!”
“Long live Volcanic, the Dragon king! Long live Apocalypse, The god of chaos!” the other dragons chanted. Unbeknownst to Apocalypse, their rebellion would soon be underway. All eighty dragons were there, carefully controlling their train of thought, to avoid giving away their plan.
“The Age of Dragons, the age ended so suddenly by the first Great Cataclysm,” Apocalypse continued, “We will soon be revived! The age of Mankind is at an end! Their capital is at our mercy. All that remains is for us to burn the seat of power to ashes, and the world is ours!”
“I’m afraid I must protest, Apocalypse,” Volcanic interrupted. “I have thought about your plan, and it is gravely flawed. You forgot one important detail…”
“King Volcanic? I think you have forgotten I can control you still!” As he raised his hand to try and maintain his control, the dragon King sat there, smiling contently. Apocalypse stopped, and he began to shudder.
“Blur’s conscious isn’t in control right now!” he exclaimed fearfully.
“Now!” Volcanic cried. All eighty dragons took wing, and before the he knew it, he was surrounded, and completely stunned by this sudden turn of events.
“Dragons, take aim…fire!” All at once, the eighty dragons unleashed their breath weapons, torching the him entirely…
But it wasn’t enough. Apocalypse survived the fiery assault. “You…fools…I…will…kill…you…AAAALLL!” Apocalypse growled loudly.
-- -- -- -- --
“So…you found a way,” Leon said to Geisy as they rode atop the dragons, trying to locate the dragon King and Apocalypse. “That’s great.” Geisy held a tape recorder, with the tape containing the sound file that the Professor made.
“Yeah…I just hope he will listen…” Geisy said dejectedly.
“He will listen…we did forget to mention something,” the dragon Leon was riding interjected. “The King himself is immune to mind control. I don’t know how that slipped my mind…”
“That certainly makes things a whole lot easier,” Geisy said with a sigh of relief.
“Not necessarily. I am certain that Blur is extremely distressed by all this…”
“Thanks for the encouragement…” Geisy mumbled. She glanced at the dragon, then toward the horizon, and back again. As her thoughts began to wander, her ears began to pick up roaring and explosion sounds to the west.
“Blur…he’s to the west…” Geisy gasped, before standing up and turning to Leon. “This is where I get off, Leon. Good luck with him…”
Leon smiled and nodded. Geisy did a standing high jump, and went into a dive. As she neared the ground, she curled into a ball and landed on a slope.
As Geisy dashed across the desert, two massive shadows suddenly appeared under her. She skidded to a stop and watched. It seemed two dragons, specifically Volcanic and Apocalypse, were high in the sky, dueling to the death.
Apocalypse delivered a fearsome double tail slap, sending Volcanic hurtling straight toward her. Geisy was quick to dodge the flying mass, which impacted the ground with great force, cracking the highway asphalt and leaving a shallow dent. Apocalypse followed up by diving at him, opening his jaws to bite him with his ten heads.
As Apocalypse got close, Volcanic grabbed his jaws and tried to hold them open. While he did, his tail whipped around and smacked the sides of his heads. After that he unleashed a burst of flame right in his face, sending him reeling, and leaving him stunned.
“Blur!” Geisy cried out. Volcanic turned around.
“Geisy!” Blur said. “I was hoping you would come!”
“I’m here to help you…”
“Leave this fiend to me…Blur would only get in the way!” the dragon responded. Apocalypse rushed headlong into him, sending him rolling away.
Geisy, despite knowledge that she shouldn’t interfere, leapt onto Apocalypse and grabbed onto his head spikes. Immediately, he stopped and reared back, trying to shake off the hedgehog, but Geisy’s grip was strong, and she wouldn’t let go, even when the other heads started attacking her.
As Apocalypse struggled with Geisy, the two souls within Volcanic begin to quarrel…one was under the fiend’s control but deeply concerned for Geisy, the other was intent on Apocalypse destruction, regardless of the cost. The struggle between the two minds caused the body to begin to tilt and sway. Then his spinning glance managed to catch sight of the small tape recorder Geisy had brought, which was thrown clear, but landed undamaged in a roadside thicket. Blur’s conscious managed to assume control. Apocalypse felt this and telepathically commanded him to do something else. He strode toward the tape recorder, not knowing what was on it. Blur pressed the Play button, beginning the message...
“If you are listening to this sound clip, the worst has happened. This contains everything one would need to know about the true nature of Apocalypse.”
‘True…purpose?’ Blur wondered. He continued listening.
“We risked the destruction of the entire universe destroying him with the dimension Elemarious. We were safe, but the balance of the world was corrupted.”
‘Corrupted?’
“We soon learned the dimension of Poseidon was being attacked.”
‘So it’s true Apocalypse made every evil being in existence.’
"Blur…your our only hope now, Apocalypse knows you’re the key that will unlock the door the holds the knight of ice's heart prison, but more importantly you must use your own intelligence to help you fight."
“My…intelligence?” Blur stammered.
“Apocalypse is planning, if he has not already done so, to use you for evil ends. I know you are strong. From the day I first saw you, I could tell that there was more to your life than this. Your friends all hope for your prosperity.”
“How could I forget them…and Geisy…she’s fighting for me…” Blur said.
“Don’t let Apocalypse take your life away from you. I beg you…don’t become anyone’s tool…you must…live …your own way…goodbye forever.” The recording stopped.
“I understand now. Thank you, Mysterio the blue star spirit. Volcanic…thank you as well.” Blur said.
Moments before the recording finished, Apocalypse threw Geisy off of his head, sending her careening a good distance before landing face flat on the ground. As Apocalypse landed over Geisy, a glint of light flashed in the corner of his eyes. As he turned around, he saw that the Volcanic was gone. In his place was something completely different…a figure clad in mysterious clothing.
“WHAT IS THIS?” Apocalypse roared in confusion. The figure turned to reveal he was Blur. His eyes were glistening with wrathful justice, and his entire body pulsing with immense power. Even so, the Apocalypse was not intimidated.
Blur confidently began to walk in his direction, his gaze locked continually on his. Soon he was right up in front of him. With only a toothy grin, Apocalypse raised one of his claws to strike the seemingly super-powered Blur. As he swung, he sidestepped the attack, grabbed Geisy by the arm and placed her nearby. She watched all this in amazement.
“Blur? Is that you?” She exclaimed seeing his new attire that looked like his Valor form only; it was Blue with Black in some areas with some silver flame markings (of Sora’s Wisdom form from Kingdom Hearts 2) he was now Wisdom Blur.
“I’ll explain later…” he assured her. Apocalypse had adjusted his position and was ready to take on his new opponent…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is way too easy, Leon thought as he dusted off his hands after dispatching yet another group of guard robots.
As he strode into the next room, the door, as did so many others, locked behind him, blocking any exit. He had been startled by this the first few times, but now it was no surprise to him. He eagerly awaited his next challenge, confident in his ability to overcome it. But instead of a large group of robots, in strode an old foe.
“Well, look who came back from the scrap heap!” he exclaimed in a jocular manner when he met his adversary. It was none other than Landshark.
“I have been waiting Leon…” Landshark said. “I shall defeat you…and Apocalypse will trust me. I have bigger plans now.”
“You always have to do it the hard way, don’t you…” Leon replied in a rash tone. “Well, I’ll make this quick…” Leon immediately dashed at the robot, attempting to trick him into guarding against it. But Landshark did nothing of the sort. As Leon drew near, he warped away. Leon skidded to a stop.
“You bore me, fool. Did you really expect me to react to that?” the robot said.
“Gimme your best shot buddy…” Leon replied. Landshark raised one of his claws, and stared intensely at the blue blur. A small mass of yellow energy formed on his claw.
“Shark Spear!” the robot chanted, and flung the energy, which turned into an arrow-like force. Leon managed to dodge it, but just barely. Moments later, another mass of energy formed, and Landshark flung it.
“Oh, this is simply too much fun! I’ve never enjoyed myself making you dance!” the robot said, with a minor change in his voice that disturbed Leon greatly.
How did he learn that move? Leon wondered.
“Had enough, weakling?” Landshark taunted.
“How did you…” Leon wheezed.
“…get these new powers? I’ve always had them,” Landshark chortled.
“No…you couldn’t have had them…” Leon replied angrily. “Just who are you!”
“Very well…” Landshark chuckled. Suddenly, he deactivated, and dropped to the floor. Suddenly Landshark grew wings out of his back and reactivated.
“So…what do you think of me?” He said.
“I don’t know who you are…but you’re not Landshark!” Leon replied angrily.
“If you must know who I am…I am Airshark. But for now…good night!”
First off Airshark transformed the same way Landshark did only he looked more like a pterodactyl. Airshark dashed forward at a speed even Leon could not equal, and delivered an uppercut that sent the hedgehog soaring.
-- -- -- -- --
“Is that all you’ve got?” Blur taunted as he avoided yet another of Apocalypse’s swooping claw attacks. The demon dragon, having tried to hurt him for about seven minutes now, was beside himself in anger.
“STAND STILL SO I CAN KILL YOU!” Apocalypse roared as he lunged at Blur again. Again, he quickly sidestepped his attack. With a leap he reached Apocalypse’s faces, and with a ferocious flip kick, sent his heads reeling back. He followed up with a mighty aerial flurry of punches and kicks.
Not about to be used in this manner, Apocalypse managed to smack Blur out of the way, and recovered his footing. Lunging again at his foe, he managed to bite at him. For a moment, it seemed the dragon was about to swallow him whole, but Blur managed to force his jaws open, leap out and do another flip kick.
Apocalypse staggered back to recover from this assault. He was getting tired, and knew that if he didn’t beat a hasty retreat, he would suffer a humiliating loss. As Blur rushed in again, he summoned a keyblade and unleashed a blast of magic as a last desperate attack. With the last of his rage gone, Apocalypse stopped.
“You were more powerful than I expected, Blur. I do not know how you managed to absorb the power of the Wisdom form, but I see that I am outmatched for now. We shall meet again, and when that time then I’ll crush you into dust with my true potential!”
“Oh no, you don’t!” He answered, and dove at Apocalypse, who teleported away before he could get his hands on him. Geisy, finally seeing that Blur was victorious, went over to him, with the same look of amazement.
“Blur…that was incredible!” Geisy exclaimed, a little short of breath. “You almost beat him!”
“I have you to thank, Geisy…” Blur replied.
-- -- -- -- -- --
After walking for several hours, the sound of a small plane rang across the desert, and the two looked up. Overhead flew Wing, with Rock in the back. Blur stopped and began waving, hoping to attract their attention. After a few seconds, the plane banked around and came in for a landing.
“What are you two doing all the way out here?” Geisy asked. “Were you looking for us?”
“Yeah, we need to get you to Angel Island, pronto!” Rock replied. “Hop aboard.”
“Um…we can’t fit…” Blur said hesitantly. “There’s no room, and I don’t want to risk riding on the wings again.”
“I’ve got that covered…” Wing chimed in. He pressed a button on his control panel, and two bowl-shaped seats extended out of the plane’s fuselage, one on each side. The two looked at each other, shrugged and hopped in. Soon enough, Wing’s plane was back in the air, heading for Angel Island.
-- -- -- -- --
“Leon?” Emily whispered. Leon’s eyes strained slightly to open, but he soon found himself in a bed. Emily was sitting on a small stone stool near the makeshift bed that he laid on.
“Where…am I?” Leon muttered, holding his head as he tried to get up.
“Some place called Angel Island,” Emily answered him.
“Where is he? Where’s Airshark?” Leon exclaimed.
“Airshark?” Emily asked with interest. “Who is…”
Before Emily could finish, they heard several people coming down the hall. The first to pop in was Rock, who smiled with relief.
“Ah, you recover fast, Leon,” Rock said. “How do you feel?”
“Humiliated.” Leon replied. “I can’t believe I got beaten so easily!”
“It happens…” Rock said with a slight mocking tone in his voice. “But come on, Geisy and Blur are back, and we have things to discuss. Bring along your girlfriend, too.” Leon and Emily were taken aback by so blunt a phrase, but yet, they both found a nice ring to it.
They followed Rock into the main chamber. On seven pedestals were the Chaos Emeralds. Standing nearby this display were Geisy, Blur, Wing and the Chaotix Jrs.
“So…what’s with the hubbub, bubs?” Glee asked. Vec rolled his eyes at this statement.
“Yes…enlighten us, Rock,” Esper added. “Why did you call us here?”
Rock stepped into the center of the group, cleared his throat, and began. “I have sensed great trouble in the world, and a few of us have made disturbing connections between seemingly unrelated events.
“Like what?” Vec asked.
“Well, the attacks by the nobodies and Apocalypse were initiated far too close together in time to be mere coincidence. In fact, after studying the island’s collection of ancient texts, we may be up against something we’ve never faced before.”
“How big are we talking?” Leon asked. “We’ve faced some pretty nasty foes before.”
Rock shook his head. “Dr Egghog was nothing compared to the threat that may be before us now.”
“Do you know of some guy named Airshark?” Leon asked. "I met him in the base."
Rock closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead as he dug through his memory. “Yes I saw him in a nightmare once.”
“So…what should we do?” Wing asked finally.
“I’m really not sure about that, right now. I’ll do my best to come up with something.” Rock said.

“What’s the big idea with ditching us, Rock?” Blur asked when he learned that Rock was going back to the base. He knew that the chaos emeralds had to be picked up, but there seemed to be another reason.
“I’m sorry...I just need to be away from everyone.” Rock said.
“Okay then, we’ll be seeing ya,” Blur replied.
“I wonder what’s up.” Blur asked Geisy. She simply shrugged.
-- -- -- -- -- --
“Hey, Blur…” Jasmine said as everyone got themselves ready to go to bed. “Where’s Rock? I noticed he wasn’t with you.” Blur stopped and tried to think of the best way to answer.
“He said he needed to be alone,” he replied.
“…And where did he go?” she asked.
“He went up to the base…” Blur said.
Blur was disconcerted by this sudden change in Jasmine’s emotional state. Normally she was cool-headed and even aloof…now she was an emotional wreck. He wondered what he had said.
“You had that vision again, listen…you’re not what you think you are…you know how Rock feels about you…and I won’t let that happen to you…okay?” Jasmine nodded.
-- -- -- -- --
Morning came as always. Not even the greatest forces of evil could stop the dawn “There!” Wave said excitedly, pointing to a stone spire poking out of the forest below. Rain and Rev saw it too, and looked at it wide-eyed.
“Wow…the Great Obelisk of Legend land!” Rev exclaimed. The spire was indeed an amazing piece of architecture, standing almost one hundred tall and ten feet on all sides at its base. Although it could not be seen from this distance, the entire tower was carved with images that recorded most of the major events in the history of the world…a history that started fourteen thousand years in the past.
Blur whistled in amazement. “Wow…now that’s a spire! I’ve never seen anything that tall outside of Future City!”
“Amazing…” Jasmine gasped. Everyone else gawked at it as well. Blur was the first to follow the path down the mountain.
“Hey, Blur…could you wait up!” Wing called to him, but the purple blur was already several miles ahead. Blur suddenly stopped when he noticed something in the distance: marching across a wasteland that suddenly began many miles from Legend land, probably ten miles away, was some sort of army. He had no idea of what it consisted of, but one thing was for sure…it was marching toward the great city, and that only meant trouble. Everyone caught up with Blur as they too saw this strange sight.
“Heartless…they’re on the march. No doubt that a certain General Darkside is behind this.” Chaos said.
“Never heard of the guy…” Blur said frankly. “I doubt any of us have, save you.”
“He’s a monster. Not sure how he came to be, but it’s probably a bunch of heartless mixed together.” Before he could say anything else, Chaos noticed something else…the sounds of battleships roaring in the distance.
“We need to hurry…these heartless may only be one of Legend land’s problems. I think we’ve got the nobodies and their general Twilight Thorn.” Chaos said.
-- -- -- -- --
“Well, here we are…Legend land,” Geisy said. The others were in sheer awe of this amazing city. It was like Westopolis in that it had great towers, but instead of being made of cold glass and steel, it was made of beautiful marble, and intricately carved with beautiful designs and awesome portrayals of tales and events.
“I better bring you to where my grandfather lives.” Geisy said.
“Lead on…you know the city better than any of us,” Emily said. Geisy led the three onward, winding through the streets of Legend land, pointing out important landmarks as they went. Soon enough, Geisy stopped at a simple, but well-made house with a red wooden door. She knocked on it and waited. A few seconds later, the raspy voice of an old man answered.
“I’m coming! I’m coming!” the old resident called. The door opened about twenty seconds later to reveal a hedgehog.
“And who might you be?” the old man asked.
“Grandpa…it’s me, Geisy…you don’t recognize me, do you?”
The old man was suspicious. “You look like her…but that’s not enough. There’s one thing I’d like to ask. “I'm kidding. Come and give your old grandpa a hug! I haven’t seen you in years!” Geisy rolled her eyes, and did so.
“I’ve never seen these people before…” the old man continued. “Are they your friends?”
“Who else would I bring to meet the legendary Shark!”
“Come in then…this house is welcome to friends of my granddaughter!”
-- -- -- -- --
“So you’ve retired from your duties, grandpa?” Geisy said with surprise. “Why? You seem perfectly capable of continuing them.”
Shark sighed. “Oh, dearest…I’m just getting too old for it…I’m nearly eighty now. I’m thinking about choosing my successor. But tell me, I didn’t quite hear the name of your group. Could you repeat it for me?”
“Blur Team’s the name, and don’t forget it!”
“Would you believe that Blur’s my boyfriend?” Geisy said happily, hugging Blur. The old man seemed delighted to hear this.
“Oh, I’m so happy for you!” Shark said gleefully. “From what I can see we‘re about to be attacked from Heartless and Nobodies, which means Apocalypse is back!”
“Yeah…we need to find the legendary teacher if we’re going to stop him.” Chaos said
“I knew that…and Legend land is prepared…but you four should get them all the same. From my visions, I judge that they’ll arrive by the new moon, and will likely attack under cover of darkness.” Shark said. “Now, how do we get to the shrine when this teacher is?” Chaos asked. Shark pointed to the room from whence she came.
“Thanks, grandpa,” Geisy said.
-- -- -- -- --
Everyone appeared in a room…and standing in front of the altar was a familiar figure.
“Welcome. I am Giga, the father of the guardians. The threats of Darkside and Twilight Thorn is too dangerous to defeat right now. You must take my training, and pass the tests before you can face them. Mach, and Blur step forward.” The figure said
Blur and Mach stepped forward nervously and waited. They saw a face fade in. Blur gasped.
“So, we meet again, grandson.” The face said.
“Grandpa Thorn…we have to fight you?” Blur asked.
“Don’t worry…I’m already dead, remember? Besides, this is why I’m still around. My spirit is stuck here until you beat me.”
“If we must defeat you to let you rest…then I will!” Mach said with determination. Blur suddenly transformed, with the power of his twin brother at his side he had become Limit Blur (Think Sora’s limit form from Kingdom hearts 2 Final Mix)
“Nice trick, but here’s mine!” Thorn said as he went into a Hyper Form.
“Alright then…give me all you’ve got…I won’t hold anything back, you hear me?” Blur asked.
“I’d expect nothing less than that, from the key.” Thorn said.
“What’s the matter, guys? Giving up already?” Thorn mocked. “Don’t tell me this is all you can do?”
Then Blur got an idea…they had been relying on their attacks alone. The two put their hands together and summoned a mixture of their attacks.
“GALE BOMBARDMENT!” The 2 shouted.
Impressive, Giga thought. They recognize that that uniting their strengths can cover their weaknesses.
The attack brought Thorn down while forcing the 2 to the floor.
“Nice job, you 2. Your worthy. As for me, I can finally rest in peace.” Thorn said.
“Nice job Blur!” Geisy said. Blur gave a thumbs up before returning to normal.
“Dash the Hedgehog, step forward and face your trial!”
Dash did so willingly. To his horror, the visage of a grey hedgehog appeared.
“Egghog…I…I…I have to fight you!” Dash gasped. He had contemplated this possibility, but he never thought it would come true.
“Somehow, I saw this coming…” Blur said under his breath.
“No! There HAS to be another way!” Dash cried.
“Too bad.” Giga said.
----------
For reasons unknown to them at first, Darkside’s army stopped in the middle of their march. But their general knew all too well what was happening. The barrier that kept the city invisible was down, but the city had at least ten other layers of defenses as ancient as the hills. He could crack them all without breaking a sweat, but he didn’t feel like wasting the effort. He had an inside contact.
“Is everything ready, Twilight Thorn?” Darkside asked.
“Everything’s good to go.” Twilight Thorn responded.
------------
“What is happening?” Rock exclaimed angrily when he saw flames rising from the city of Legend land. “I thought it was impossible to siege! Talk about horrible timing! I better get the emeralds and hurry back.”
------------
“Go, my minions! Destroy everything in sight!” Darkside and Twilight Thorn cackled triumphantly. “Destroy, pillage, maim or whatever action of mayhem strikes your whimsy!” Thousands of heartless and nobodies were pouring into the city, all thinking one thought…to tear legend land to pieces and destroy the people who had banished their kinds to the wastes.
----------
As the fight between Dash and Ghost Egghog continued, Geisy felt a sudden wave of despair cross her mind. Something terrible had happened in the outside world, she just knew it. What was worse, it was someone very close to her…her grandfather.
Blur noticed Geisy’s sudden change of mood and immediately asked what was going on.
“I can feel it…he’s gone…but not just him…” Geisy sobbed, while clenching a fist.
Even Giga noticed this, but the ancient warrior felt a disturbing energy growing inside the girl…it was the power that Shark had been able to restrain for years.
“Giga, let me out!” Geisy cried. “There are people dying in the city!”
“I cannot let you leave here until you pass your test,” Akuma said with regret. “I am gravely sorry, but that is how it all works.”
Geisy felt her mind slipping in and out of maddening rage.
“Geisy, you have to calm down,” Blur pleaded. “This is no time to go emo…”
“Emo…” Geisy growled…“Emo? I’LL SHOW YOU EMO!” Then it all came roaring out. The fight between Dash and Ghost Egghog ground to a halt as they beheld Geisy’s sudden explosion of rage as she became Super Geisy.
Emily was the first to try and reason with the enraged Geisy. “Geisy, stop this! We all know this isn’t you!” Geisy gave a cold glance to everyone in the room before uttering two words:
“Chaos…Control.” With that, she warped out of the room, much to everyone’s surprise.
“Isn’t this place supposed to be on a different plane or something?” Blur asked Giga. “And what did Geisy just do? You know something…spit it out!”
Giga dispelled the field that separated the others from the fight between Dash and Ghost Egghog.
“Does this mean I am victorious?” Dash asked.
“Yes, because a more important matter has come up,” Giga replied. “Your friend is in great emotional pain. It seems to much rage has built up in Geisy, and now she’s out of control. I’m afraid I have to cancel all the tests right now. You must go save her.”
Everyone went to the exit, but Giga pulled Leon and Emily back.
Giga shook his head. “I’m afraid that you cannot. Your test must proceed. Leon and Emily…it is time for your trial now. You may show yourself, Shadow Leon and Shadow Emily.” Full black versions of themselves appeared.
“I guess we have to fight our other sides…”
----------
“We had to show up just as the big invasion starts!” Wing complained as he dispatched another heartless with his shadow blasts.
“I don’t think we can hold them off forever!” Rain said. “I think this is where it all ends…”
“No!” Delight cried as she smashed a shadow creature with her magic paintbrush. “It can’t end this way!
“Not likely, Delight…” Rev replied as he delivered a whirlpool at a few nobodies, sending them soaring away, “But we can still give them our all! Let’s take as many down as we can!”
Jasmine then noticed what looked like Super Geisy in the sky.
What in the world…what’s Geisy doing? Jasmine wondered. And what is that awful power she’s exuding?
Geisy came roaring into the melee with her friends, scattering twenty heartless and nobodies, destroying most of them. One that did survive; she immediately grabbed and began to shake.
“WHERE’S DARKSIDE AND TWILIGHT THORN!?” she roared.
“Geisy!” Kumori called to her. Geisy turned to face Kumori. Neither made a move.
“What are you doing? Get out of my way!” Geisy yelled.
“Geisy, you need to stop while you still have some sanity left.” Kumori said.
“No one can help me now…” With that, Geisy lunged at Kumori, trying to land a forceful punch to her face. Kumori tried to block this attack, but found it to be far more powerful that first expected, sending her skidding back into a nearly collapsed building, stopping mere inches from it.
Kumori tried to go for a quick KO with a roundhouse kick to Geisy’s head, but this was grabbed, and Kumori found herself smashing into, or rather, through a building, and into another intersection. As Geisy leapt through the hole and prepared to finish off Kumori, when a blur smacked right into the berserking hedgehog. It was Blur, and Geisy instantly recognized his touch, and seemed to return to her normal self, and seems to be all too aware of what was going on, and started sobbing.
“I…I think I almost killed my sister…I don’t feel like myself anymore.” She managed to shift back to her normal form.
“This is no time to go emo, Geisy…” he said calmly. “Let’s get you back to the shrine.”
-- -- -- -- --
“Many of you will stay behind with me.” Giga said.
“So who has to go do this other deed?” Tech asked. “We can’t just sit around and do nothing!”
“The guardians, Lightrion and Ashura will go search for the element knights and a special heartless and nobody who have minds of their own. They cannot be controlled by Apocalypse so they can help us defeat his army.
“So…all we have to do is to go and find a special Heartless and Nobody, but how do we know the difference?” Chaos asked.
“They can talk unlike other heartless and nobodies and have green markings, but they shall not be easy to find because they are the species of the most common kind of heartless and nobodies, the shadows and the dusks.” Giga replied. “And they won’t stay still, considering that the forces of evil are probably looking for them as we speak. Make haste, and find them!”
“Chaos…I trust you to be leader in my stead for the searching group. Make sure that you find those two as fast as possible." Blur said.
“How come he gets to pick the leader,” Shine whispered to Aero.
“Don’t ask me, I’m not the author…” Aero replied.

“Everyone, I have your first training session today.” Giga said.
“So what are we doing?” Mach asked.
“There’s a city that’s being ruled by an evil dictator that works for Apocalypse, he plans to enslave the entire town by sinking it into the lair of Apocalypse. I need you to stop him, or all those innocent people will become heartless.” Giga said.
-----------
The group met up with Geisy, Hammer and Blur in a hotel room to stage their plan to stop the Lord’s crazed plan.
“I’d say the best thing to do at this point is to expose the fiend for who he is, and then let the law take care of him,” Vec suggested thoughtfully. “I mean, this city couldn’t possibly be a dictatorship, from what I’ve seen. It’s the safest way to do it.”
“I’m in agreement with the crocodile here,” Rain replied. Glee was assumed to agree with Vec in this case. Rosie gave a silent nod.
Rosie sighed. “As much as I’d like to see this mad lord suffer, it’s for the best. This regime change is going to be a peaceful one. I’m afraid you’re outnumbered, Blur.”
On a strange whim, Blur decided to take matters into his own hands. He snatched the tape recording from a nearby table, and in a matter of moments, had leapt out of the window. As Geisy rushed over to see what Blur was going, she saw him skid down the wall of the building, bound off the wall and onto another. He was obviously in a hurry, and Geisy feared the worst.
“Why does Blur always need to do something drastic?” Geisy asked herself.
-- -- -- -- -- --
“Sir, we have a problem…” a voice on the intercom in the Lord’s office suddenly said.
“What kind of problem?” he responded.
“There’s a purple…” the guard said before he was suddenly cut off. The Lord slammed his fist down in rage. He was mere moments away from his big “address”, at which point his plan would finally commence. But that accursed hedgehog Blur had to show up. He wasn’t going to let some hedgehog ruin his plan. He quickly pressed a black button under his desk to initiate his backup plan, then pulled a high-powered stunner gun from his desk and concealed it in his robe. He was ready for Blur.
Before he could make another move, Blur burst into his office at a high speed, skidding to a stop right at the politician’s desk with a very indignant look on his face.
“Well, well…it looks like I got here just in time,” Blur said confidently before he heard a siren go off in the building and the ground begin to shake. The Lord seemed very pleased.
“You’re too late, purple boy. I’m going to have my way whether you like it or not! This whole city is going to fall straight down into the earth in ten minutes…then Apocalypse will be free to control the citizens.”
“You’re going to destroy everything…just because you think being with Apocalypse puts you on the winning team! That’s it…you’re so dead!” Blur lunged at him, but was soon on the floor from a hit by the dastardly lord’s concealed stunner gun.
-- -- -- -- --
“What is happening?” Vec exclaimed when the earth began to shake. “Is this an earthquake or something?”
“No…there are no fault lines for hundreds of miles…” Geisy replied. “Something else is making the city shake…it may collapse. If we don’t clear out of here, we’re all dead meat,”
“I’d be more worried about Blur than us…” Esper replied. “If only we could stop whatever’s happening here…”
“It’s a long shot, but maybe we could do it…” Rosie replied. “Shall we go for it?”
“Raise the city?” Geisy exclaimed. “You must be mad!”
“I have a hunch it’ll work!” Glee chimed in confidently.
“Glee’s hunches are always good to follow,” Vec said. Rosie concentrated with all her might and everyone else began pulling the city up. The city stopped shaking, and slowly began to rise out of the great hole.
-- -- -- -- --
The Lord was beside himself. Somehow, by an unexplainable miracle, his backup plan had failed, and his master, Apocalypse said it couldn’t fail. Now his entire people would turn against him. But it soon turned out that he had more immediate worries when he was suddenly ambushed by Blur…but he was different. His entire body and was now pitch black and his clothes were a darker color while the white of his eyes were also black while the rest of his eyes were yellow, Blur had become Anti Blur (think of Sora’s Anti form from Kingdom Hearts 2). The Lord backed away, but Blur grabbed him and raised him up.
“Your public is waiting, buddy…” Anti Blur said; his voice with a echo. He then dragged the terrified leader before a crowd of angry citizens. Blur tossed the leader onto a podium.
“Ladies and gentlemen.” Blur began. “Your leader has been conspiring to kill you all! His twisted vision of a pure city would have involved mass killings, and ultimately, ruling of Apocalypse. I may look a bad guy to you, but trust me…I’d never do something like that! This so-called leader of yours deserves no less than to have his own life taken from him.”
The crowd began to cheer wildly. “Putrid inferior beings!” the Lord roared. “Can’t you see he’s trying to trick you? Don’t listen to this mad hedgehog! Get him!”
“That’s a bad way to command your people, big guy,” Blur taunted before turning back to the crowd. “Did you hear what he called you? I believe it was: Putrid inferior beings! That’s what you’ve been calling so many other people for so long! After today, I want all of you people to go back and think about just what kind of system you’ve been living in! But now, we get rid of one crazed leader!”
Blur quickly did a rapid hand slash attack on him. The last thing the Lord ever heard was this:
“Feel the pain of the ones you hurt…”
The leader turned into a puff of smoke, and then Blur went unconscious. He woke up later to see his friends around him.
“Who…what happened…” Blur mumbled. “I remember getting blasted one minute…everything was shaking…and now I’m here, and my head really hurts…”
“Blur doesn’t remember a thing he just did!” Hammer exclaimed.
“I think Blur's darkness allowed him to become a new form.” Emily said.
“Well we better get back to Giga.” Mach intervened.
“I can feel Subterra.” Obsidian said. “He is near. I can’t tell for sure…but I can…”
But before he could finish, the ground began to rumble furiously, knocking anyone who had their feet planted on the ground. Aero quickly took notice of a mountain not too far away, and it appeared that something was about to explode from the mountain.
“Guys…I think we found him…”
A second later, a huge hole was blasted out of the peak, and out came a gigantic golem statue…there was no doubt that this was Subterra. Obsidian placed the white chaos emerald in the hole where the eye would be and the statue began to crack until an explosion of light appeared. When it disappeared their was a giant castle like golem where the statue had stood.
“You have given back the chaos emerald to break my seal and return me to my original body…I thank you…I am already aware of the dark threat upon us. I shall lend you my power.” Subterra said.
---------------------
Blur awoke from his sleep one day to a scream of pain that belonged to Geisy, followed by a crashing. He heard Giga laughing heartily, almost maniacally. He was immediately afraid for her safety, and rushed outside. To his horror, Geisy was lying in a pile of rubble, while Giga was standing a few yards away without a scratch on him and looking very proud of the damage he’d done.
“GIGA, HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND!” Blur screamed at the top of his lungs, with tears starting to stream down his cheeks. Every muscle in his body was tensing up.
“Now, now, young one…Geisy and I were just having a more intense session of training. She just didn’t know what I meant.” Giga chuckled in a disturbing manner before approaching Geisy slowly. On instinct, Blur leapt into his path, only to be flung aside like a rag doll. Giga picked Geisy, kneed her in the gut and then grabbed her right leg and tossed her a few yards away. Geisy grunted from the pain, but couldn’t get up, let alone fight back. But now Giga’s attention turned to Blur, who was getting up from his last attack. As he did, an energy blast knocked him back.
“Well, it seems like someone ELSE wants an intense training session, judging by your attitude,” Giga chuckled. “Very well then, let’s begin.” He immediately began his assault by kicking him straight in the chest, knocking the wind out of him, then following up with a leg sweep to knock him down again, and flowed into a dashing punch.
Blur managed to get back on his feet and dodge a few energy shots. Now he went on the attack, but Giga dodged them all quite easily, which frustrated Blur a lot. A wild swing left him wide open, and Giga then continued to deliver a beat-down. But it seemed that Blur was made of sterner stuff, and managed to take each hit and stay up, at least until the father of the guardians delivered a furious jab to his throat, making him stop and clasp it. As soon as he let go, Giga grabbed him by it and hoisted him up with one hand.
“Well, well, you put up a good fight, Blur,” Giga said, “but I’m afraid you’ve lost. As punishment, I think I’ll blow your girlfriend into oblivion.” He pointed a finger at Geisy, and a ball of energy formed there. Blur watched in horror as it grew bigger and bigger, until it was the size of a basketball.
Please…oh heaven don’t do it Giga…you can’t do this to me…no, no…
In a sudden burst of energy, Blur forced himself out of Giga’s grip and kicked him, staggering him, and stopping the blast. Blur was pulsating with power, but not the kind from his Anti form. It was something else entirely. The power of Blur’s spirit went into him causing him to change into a new form.
Blur’s clothes were now yellow and black with dark silver X markings that had white outlines (Think Sora’s Master form from Kingdom Hearts 2) in his hands were his two keyblades, he had become Master Blur.
“What, aren’t you going to attack, Giga?” Blur asked with a little confusion in his still angry tone.” Giga finally began to explain what this whole mess was about.
“It was just as Geisy and I predicted…” Giga said.
“What do you mean, predicted?” Blur asked.
“It’s quite simple…she told me how you had obtained your Valor and Wisdom forms, well if you could just find your spirit you would’ve also had the Master form, so me and Geisy set this charade up.
“Okay Giga now I’m going to hurt you.” Blur said.
“Ah! Help he’s going to kill me!” Giga said while running away.

“Alexis?” Wing asked as the two relaxed on the fields.
“Well…I was kind of wondering what you think of all that’s happening lately…and what you think of me.” Wing said.
Alexis knew how he felt, but it seemed like she was responding at last. For most of the time that they had known each other, their relationship had been like being very good friends.
Wing sighed. “Well, uh…it’s a shame what happens to some people. I wish I could bring them back.”
“We can’t change what happened in the past. Besides, there are sure to be all sorts of new experiences ahead, right?” Alexis was now right up against Wing, who was quickly getting nervous, yet excited at the same time. It was now official…Alexis wanted to become his official girlfriend. As this idea sunk again, he found himself in Alexis’s embrace, and she had just given him his first real kiss. It reminded him of the time they first spent together.
---Flash back---
“You and me go to the carnival? I dunno, Alexis…” Wing said nervously. “I have lots of work to do in my shop…”
“Nonsense, my boy,” Terri replied. “I’m sure you and Alexis will have a great time! It should be your award for graduating at such a young age.”
“Okay…I’ll come.”
“Yay!” Alexis squealed as she jumped up and down. Alexis’s mother found this sight amusing, while Wing tried to hide his embarrassment. He couldn’t believe that he had to act like such a child…
---End of flash back---
That was the thing Wing was missing…he had never truly been someone other than a genius until he had met Blur. He had met so many wonderful people. He silently thanked him for that. The sun was going down now, and soon the night would be upon them…
------------------
“For so long I’ve been guarding a tool of evil,” Rock sighed as he and Jasmine were spending a little time together the next morning. “How could I have lived such a lie? I’ll never understand.” Rock was still trying to come to grips with the fact that the Master Emerald was created because of destruction to stifle the flow of life energy in the world, as well to seal the full potential of the Chaos Emeralds from the world. He banged his fist against the wall, making it ring like a tuning fork.
“All of the Guardians were fooled, Rock. Besides, you said yourself that the Master Emerald has been used for good. So it isn’t truly evil, right?”
“Yeah…but what sort of evil was the Master Emerald used for? There were no legends about the Master Emerald before it came to the echidnas…why couldn’t we know the truth!” Rock continued to punch angrily at the hole, eventually smashing a hole in it. The sharp metal slashed at his skin, cutting his arm in several places. Rock winced, and gripped his arm. Jasmine managed to stop herself from panicking, and told Rock to show her. As she ran her fingers along the arm, a blue aura that was barely visible formed around the white hedgehog’s arm, closing the wounds instantaneously. Rock was stunned by this sudden occurrence.
“Okay…that was weird,” Rock said. “I think I just…”
“Healed you?” Jasmine said. “I don’t know how, but I’ve always been able to do that.”
Giga, meanwhile, had been watching the two from a distance, and smirked. He knew what Jasmine just did and why…the girl was gifted with healing powers that she could not yet control.
He was surprised when Hammer joined in watching Rock and Jasmine.
“What’s the big grin, Hammer?” Giga asked.
“Well, my friend…let me put it this way…hopefully they fully understand their feelings for each other.” Hammer said.
-- -- -- -- --
“Okay Giga…what kind of toil and/or suffering are you going to put us through TODAY?” Blur groaned when everyone had lined up, awaiting the day’s tasks. Giga’s response was a big surprise to them.
“Actually, I’m assigning nothing at all, Blur. You’re getting the day off. Besides, I believe two of you have birthdays today.” He approached Geisy and presented them each with a small wooden box about the size of a shoebox.
“Happy fifteenth birthday, Geisy and Blur.” Giga said before flying off. Blur, after a few moments, started knocking himself on the head. He of all people, should have remembered her birthday. They were a couple after all. Geisy noticed this, and smirked.
She wasn’t hurt at all by Blur’s forgetfulness. It was just like him to forget things like this. It was like his mind was always in overdrive, and sometimes his mouth couldn’t keep up with his train of thought. Then again, with all the trouble that’s been going on, even she had forgotten about her own birthday.
“Geisy…I AM SO SORRY…” Blur moaned as he came up to her, walking on his knees, hoping he wouldn’t get hurt by her. “I can’t believe I forgot it!”
“I guess I should be saying the same thing, Geisy,” Leon replied. “I don’t know when mine is…long story.”
“Thanks guys,” Geisy said “Do you mind if just me and Blur see what Giga’s gift is?” Leon and Emily nodded, and went off to do their own thing, leaving the 2 to see what Giga’s present was.
Geisy's present contained two white rings that could slip onto her wrists, much like the black ones she had.
These were meant for your mother. Put these on your wrists. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
With a shrug, Geisy did so after removing her typical black rings. At first, nothing happened, but then she got an unpleasant tingling feeling, much like being affected by static electricity. It soon wore off.
“Okay…that was weird.”
“I’m sure there has to be some benefit,” Blur replied. “I’m sure something will come up sooner or later. So, since it’s the day off, is there anything you want to do?”
“Oh, just walk with you, talk with you…” Geisy said.
“So, just walking and talking, huh?” Blur asked.
Geisy nodded. “I guess the best gift I have is you being here with me.”
-- -- -- -- -- --
Leon and Emily were sitting together in a different garden when a question came to the hedgehog’s head, and he wondered why he never asked it up until now. “Emily…I never really asked you…about your past.”
Emily sighed, being unaware of the sincerity of Leon’s question. “You know what it is...what’s more to know?”
“I never heard about where you lived...I’d just like to know.” Leon said.
“I’m not really sure about that.” Emily said.
“I’ve barely had much of a life so far, I’ve only been able to remember being alive for 2 months now.” Leon said.
“The waves are getting a lot stronger,” Chaos suddenly. “I think Aquos’s close…real close. Tell everyone to get below deck…leave this to me.” Aero nodded, and went to spread the warning while Chaos turned his eyes back to the great expanse of ocean before him. He waited a few minutes, trying to key himself to the great water creature’s mind waves as best as he could, then raised his arms into the sky.
Moments later, the sea began to calm, save for a single great bulge slowly rising on the water’s surface. After a few seconds, the bulge burst open and sent water pouring onto the deck. This would have knocked Chaos into the drink had he not slammed into a railing.
When Chaos got up, he was in awe…it was a whale statue…but at least fifteen times larger than even the largest whales…its length, glistening with pure blue, stretched for at least a quarter-mile out to sea, and its great azure eye was the size of a small car. Chaos swam over to the statue and put the plue emerald in the blowhole and the statue came to life.
“You have awakened me from my slumber. I know of the world’s trouble, and I will join your cause whole-heartedly.” After saying that, the whale remained where it was. Chaos was puzzled at this.
“Uh…is there anything else that’s gotta happen, big guy?”
“I must go now…dark forces approach…”
The whale quickly dove into the water with almost no rippling in the water. A few seconds later, a black mass could be seen in the distance, and it was approaching rapidly. Chaos barely had enough time to get inside the boat before the creature, an immense dragoon, had landed on top of the boat. But it wasn’t alone…Espia had ridden it here, and was after someone specific. With a few swings of its spear, it smashed the door down and began his search. Immediately, he was met with with the guardians and Ashura.
“Move aside and I won’t hurt you.” Espia said.
Ashura found this humorous. She expected to defeat all ten of them? She had to be kidding. The hedgehog soon got his answer, when Espia sent all of them careening with her Phoenix flower jutsu, each punching holes in the walls and some of them falling into the water. For reasons none of them were sure of, they were all paralyzed by this attack.
“You should have stood aside, Ashura.” Espia said with a grin. “It’s amazing what a little bit of Apocalypse wing tempered into a attack can do.” Now that the main threat was disposed of, she could easily complete his mission. She burst into one of the rooms, and found his target: Lightrion.
“Just who do you think you are, punk…coming in here like you own this boat?”
Espia chuckled.
“Just as the boss said…you’re exactly what he’s looking for.”
“What do you mean by that, ninja-girl?” Lightrion asked in his usual manner.
“Oh, you’ll see…guardian of the talking nobody.” Espia said.
Espia pointed at Lightrion, and then he found a orb of pure darkness, but what shocked everyone who saw the event through the open door was that Lightrion had summoned into a Dusk to reflect the attack back at her sending her and the dragoon flying.
“I was hoping you wouldn't learn about that until we found all of the guardians.” Lightrion said.
-- -- -- -- -- --
“Work, you worms!” the voice of Apocalypse cackled over the loudspeaker in his metal tower. “I want this city to be a monument to me, and to the glorious reign of me and those who control your fate!”
Airshark was with him too, having just come back from checking out Legend land, which he now controlled and turned into a dessert wasteland.
“Hey, you seem to be really steamed at that blue hedgehog, Blur. I never learned why.” Apocalypse turned to Airshark, and stared intently at him, and drummed his fingers impatiently before answering.
“Steamed doesn’t begin to describe how I feel about that hedgehog. He’s the key, the one to stopping our plans, especially with the keyblade in his hand.” Apocalypse muttered.
“Land…oh, glorious land!” Obsidian and Heat screamed as they flung themselves off the boat and kissed the dock.
They had hated every moment of the sea journey, and were elated to be back on solid ground. But now the matter of finding the final knights was at hand. Chaos glanced at Aero, who was already looking to the skies for the last 3.
His attention was distracted when he noticed a black, shadowy head with two yellow eyes poking out from some boxes. This head quickly withdrew as the guardian went to investigate. As he peered over, the shadow creature leapt out of its hiding place.
“Don’t hurt me please!” The heartless screamed out.
“We found the heartless we were looking for.” Aero said.
“I have knowledge of the heartless, they are beings, who, quite obviously, lack hearts. That is all I can tell you.” Frost said appearing behind Aero scaring the heck outta him.
"Get back here." The two looked to see the heartless head over to Ashura before disappearing. "It was best if you didn't know until we were done that me and Lightrion were their protectors." Ashura explained.
------------
“Excellent, Airshark,” Apocalypse said. “We are finished now. You need to rest.” Airshark panted heavily. Apocalypse was planning for him to face Blur soon, so he was training him to be able to defeat him.
----------
“You’re really out of your game, Nightmare,” Aero exclaimed as he pulled in a pile of coins from the stump they were surrounding. He, Nightmare, Shine, Frost and Chaos were playing cards.
“I hate this game, I quit. You keep on playing if you want.” Nightmare slowly walked away.
“Just seeing the guy depresses me,” Frost sighed with a shake of his head. “He must have issues still from what he’s done in the past.”
“Who’s dealing, since Nightmare is out?” Chaos asked.
“I’ll do it,” Aero said, taking the cards, and commencing to shuffle them. “How about we do blackjack this time? I’m getting tired of poker.”
“I don’t know how to play, I’ll watch.” Frost said.
“Blackjack’s me favorite!” Shine said gleefully.
“Blackjack it is, then!” Aero said, and began to deal.
Chaos glanced at his cards, and knew that victory was his, but kept a straight face.
“I’ll stay,” he said. After all the bets had been placed, Chaos smiled, and flipped his cards.
“Blackjack,” He said. Aero’s mouth dropped open.
“Lucky.” Aero muttered before yawning.
“There they are!” Ashura exclaimed when they saw the final 3 guardians flying towards them with Aero.
“You have restored us to our true forms so we shall lend our aid to you and your cause. I sense that the other four have been restored as well; therefore we can combine our powers to assail the gates of Apocalypse’s realm. The other heroes have nearly finished their training…and now the time has come to take the fight to the enemy’s turf.” Pyrus said.
With that, they started away. A great feeling of relief swept over the group. But now the question was about how they would get back. After a moment of thought, Aero got an idea. He called back to Pyrus, who had just went over the horizon. The immense dragon returned, and again circled the group.
“Is there something more I can do?”
“Yes…we are far from where we need to go, and have no means of getting there fast. Can you take us to legend land on your back? Surely a dragon of your great size should have no trouble carrying us, even on the wing.”
“I suppose it wouldn’t hurt. But I cannot bring you in sight of the city. Apocalypse’s forces will spot me, and surely they have the means to destroy me. Please pardon my self-preserving intents.”
“I’d do the same thing if I was in your situation.”
Pyrus flew off a good distance, and landed before striding across the landscape, and stopped right next to the group.
“Everyone should get cozy. It will take me at least an hour or two until we reach your destination.”
Everyone began to hop onto the dragon’s back. Pyrus took off. The others sat back and watched the world pass below them. The sun was beginning to set, and it seemed that a bit of the sinister darkness that was hanging above them had dispersed.
-- -- -- -- -- --
“A new task is at hand for you…the time has come to use the skills you have learned, and use them to utterly crush the demon that holds the world in his fiendish clutches.”
“It’s about time…” Blur said, shaking a fist eagerly.
“Yeah…they’ll all pay for what they’ve done.” Geisy said.
“Legend land is now a dessert. You’ll have to cross it if you want to get to his lair. And Geisy I have just received news that your grandpa is okay.”
“Okay guys the final round is getting closer so don’t let your guard down.” Blur said.
“Now off with you. ULLTIMATE CHAOS CONTROL!” Giga shouted.
-- -- -- -- -- --
Everyone reappeared on the ridge where they first beheld the city. Just as they did, Leon noticed the dragon passing overhead. It began to circle them, slowly descending as it did. They started to hear the joyful cries of their friends calling from atop the dragon.
“That must be them…” Emily commented. Pyrus soon came to a stop near them before Pyrus took off back to the other knights to wait for the appointed time.
Something did not go unnoticed by the the group that had been training with Giga…no heartless and no nobody was with the others.
“What happened to the heartless and nobody, guys?” Leon asked with concern.
Their answer was given when they saw Ashura and Lightrion summoned a heartless and nobody right before their eyes.
“Sorry guys we wanted to tell you, but we couldn’t let Apocalypse get us, but it seems he knew all along.” Ashura said.
“Hey where’s Blur?” Lightrion asked when he saw Blur nowhere in sight.

The Blur Team had learnt that Blur went to face Airshark alone, but before they could make a plan Lightrion and Ashura ran off.
Lightrion and Ashura stood outside of Airshark’s floating palace and could only wonder about the fate of their friend Blur. But alas, the Lightrion could not get into the fortress. A feeling of despair came over them and they dropped to their knees.
“Oh, I wish there was some way some way we could get up there…”
“I don’t mean to distress you further.” Ashura answered, “But wishing will do no good right now.” But as if to contradict her, Geisy, who had been invisibly following Ashura and Lightrion suddenly appeared behind them, grinning.
“Who says wishing will do no good?” Geisy said. Both Ashura and Lightrion yelped in surprise, and Geisy let the two get their wits together before continuing. “I can get you up there real quick, if you like.” Ashura, hope now restored to him, turned to Lightrion.
“Lightrion, I advise that you get the others. I will let Geisy take me to Airshark’s lair.” Ashura asked.
“Okay. And…come back alive.”
With that, Geisy leapt high into the sky with Ashura piggy backing her, right to where Airshark’s sanctum was…

“Espia, your continued resistance pesters me,” Airshark boomed after throwing Espia into the wall for the fourth time. “Either surrender or die, already!” But the chameleon, bruised and dripping oil, he got up again.
“I…mustn’t…betray Apocalypse…” Espia panted, now unsteadily approaching Airshark again. But before he could get close enough, he heard Ashura enter the chamber.
“How did you get here?” Airshark exclaimed. “Very well, I’ll crush you, too!” He started to approach Ashura, but Geisy, barreled into Airshark, causing him to stagger backwards. Even after this, Geisy continued to buzz around Airshark like a fly, while the pterodactyl tried to swat her away to no avail.
“Guys, how’d you get here?!” Blur exclaimed. Ashurion simply directed Blur to Geisy, who was running around Airshark’s feet. She managed to land another solid blow.
“I'm serious about her becoming a female me. Now it’s my turn. MASTER FORM!”
In a brilliant flash of light that engulfed the entire palace, Blur transformed into what he thought was his Master form, but was much different instead of his clothes being Yellow and Black, they were Silver and Black with strange white swirly markings (Think of Sora’s Final form from Kingdom Hearts 2) he had become Final Blur.
“Thanks to you, I now have the power I need to put my mind at ease. Please, take shelter.” Ashura and Geisy nodded and went into a different room.
Airshark managed to get to his feet, and gasped in terror at Blur’s new form. He growled angrily before charging. But as he approached, Blur quickly summoned his two keyblades.
Airshark, realizing he was outmatched, decided to pull out his trump card. Getting back into the air, he suddenly called out to seemingly no one in particular, raising his arms up, opening them as if to embrace something.
“Lord ABIS, grant me…”
Blur grasped his keyblades and rushed at Airshark.
“…POWER!”
Just as Blur was about to make contact, Airshark glowed a bright white, and began to grow exponentially, soon causing his entire fortress to begin to crumble. Blur rushed out of the room and took to the air. He gazed down at the ground and sighed with relief to see the others safe and sound. But when he turned again, he gasped to see Airshark, now over fifty feet tall and seemingly composed entirely out of darkness.
“Ya missed me!” Blur said as he dodged Airshark’s attacks. The hedgehog, being much smaller than his opponent, knew that the crazed pterodactyl had made a grave tactical error, like so many other villains do: by increasing his size, he had slowed himself down, making it easy for Blur to dodge his attacks.
“GRAGH! KEEP STILL YOU RAT!” Airshark boomed as he swung a massive horizontal slap, hoping to deliver a crushing blow to his foe. Blur flew up away from the attack, still unamused by his opponent.
However, Airshark did have one advantage: the hedgehog couldn’t discern any distinct weak spots for him to attack into. It was a standstill, and neither side could gain the advantage, at least until Airshark suddenly blasted backward and raised his hands into the air.
“Gee, I wonder what he’s gonna do…” Blur said to himself sarcastically as he readied a stance much like a goalie. He was known to be one of the more versatile soccer players in school back before the world found out that Eggman had returned and he had to stop him being Sonic’s son, and now he would get the chance to see how well he could play goalie. Airshark had now formed a gigantic purple energy ball as big as he was.
“Try and dodge this, you filthy rat!” Airshark roared. “Even if it doesn’t hit you, it will blow the city, and leave it nothing but fine dust!” This would have intimidated others, but not Blur.
“Okay, lay it on me, ugly!” he yelled back. The genie reared back and with a roar of fury, heaved the massive ball of destruction right at the winged warrior. Blur managed to catch the giant energy ball in his keyblades, but its massive energy and velocity started pushing him backward, right toward the city. The hedgehog strained heavily against the projectile, grunting and growling as he tried to slow it down.
He turned around briefly to see that the people were in a panic, unable to truly save themselves what seemed to be impending doom.
“I’ve got to…push.” Blur said to himself! C’mon, Blur, PUSH! He put all his energy into pushing back the deadly orb, and he felt his feet touch a building just as he came to a halt. The entire city went silent in awe.
“Phew, that was too close…” he said to himself. Now it was his turn. He began to push again, this time to increase its speed back toward Airshark. He struggled to move the massive orb. But after striking it with his kyblades, he started to pick up a lot of momentum. Once he was clear of the city, he spotted Airshark plodding in his direction, and readying himself to catch it. Blur decided to trick him up.
Using his great speed to pass the orb, he suddenly got face-to-face with the mechanical pterodactyl, and stared at him for a few moments, hanging out at the bridge of his nose.
With a smirk, Blur moved his hand back, and then thrust his sword forward suddenly, delivering a devastating strike to Airshark’s own forehead, knocking the fiend off balance. Blur quickly dropped altitude, and the massive energy orb Airshark had created, smacked him right in the chest, shattering his chest, and stunning him.
That’s when he saw it…Airshark’s mechanical heart. It had somehow been forced from out of his chest by the attack. If anything counted as a weak spot, the heart probably counted.
“It’s time to end this. IMPERIAL STRIKE!”
The mighty Airshark let out a scream of agony. Finally, his body began to harden into a statue, which stood silently for a moment, then crumbled, the sound of its collapse resonating across the city.
---------------
"Lord Apocalypse the traitor has been silenced." Espia said.
"Excellent, now I can focus on my creation." Apocalypse chuckled.
The Blur Team was standing in front of the gates to Apocalypse lair; the doors were locked with 7 locks that were one of the colors of the 7 emeralds.
"Alright knights, it's time to break the locks open." Darkus said.
"Ready, Aim, FIRE!" Pyrus shouted.
They fired a beam at each of their respective locks causing them to break.
"The lock has been opened. You can now go inside his lair." Pyrus said.
"To bad it's not gonna happen." Espia said from above them with every kind of heartless and nobody with her including Darkside and Twilight Thorn. "Attack!" Espia shouted.
Everyone stood ready to face them until they heard. "Wait guys. There are to many for you to defeat." Lightrion said.
"Then what can we do?" Mach asked.
"Nothing. It's what me and Lightrion must do." Ashura said. The two summoned the heartless and nobody before they started glowing.
"They're sacrificing the heartless and nobody." Nightmare said in horror.
"CHAOS SACRIFICE!" The heartless and nobody exploded in a mass of energy that destroyed every nobody and heartless in sight.
"If I tell Apocalypse about this he'll eat me. I'm getting out of here." Espia shouted.
"No wonder people never use that technique." Blur said.
The Blur Team proceeded into the door to Apocalypse lair when they entered they saw Apocalypse waiting for them.
"Ah...about time you got here." Apocalypse chuckled.
"You'll pay for what you done, Apoca-sick." Nightmare shouted.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME YOU FIENDISH GUARDIAN? I'LL MAKE SURE YOU NEVER SEE THIS EARTH WHEN I WIN!" Apocalypse shouted before charging energy spheres in his ten mouths and shooting them at every one of the Blur Team members trapping them inside. When he was finish Blur was the only one not trapped.
“It’s just you and me.” Apocalypse said.
Blur went into his Valor form. “Bring it on.”
“I CALL FORTH THE ULTIMATE POWER. GIVE ME MORE STRENGTH THEN EVER! SO I CAN DESTROY BLUR.” Apocalypse shouted.
Blur went on the offensive and went to strike Apocalypse, but he was just smacked away by his hand.
“Is that the best you can do?” Apocalypse yelled.
“Barely.” Blur said before turning into Wisdom Blur. “Magic Blasts!”
Just as the balls of magic were about to hit Apocalypse blew them away.
“I’m sure you can do better.” Apocalypse taunted.
“And I can.” Blur said ascending to his Master form.
Blur went his heads and smashed his keyblades down removing the head. “Looks like the tide has turned.” Blur said. But he was soon shocked when he saw the head grow back.
“I bet that was your last trick.” Apocalypse said.
“Far from it.” Blur said transforming into Final Blur.
He grabbed his keyblades and rushed past all ten of Apocalypse’s heads. Five seconds later all of the heads fell off. “Looks like I win.” But he soon dropped his mouth open when he saw every head grow back.
“Looks like I’ll need the strength of 2.” Blur said before getting near Mach’s sphere and becoming his limit form.
“GALE BOMBARDMENT!” The 2 shouted. Apocalypse was struck by a storm of 1000 Chaos Gales. It looked like he was finished until every wound he had healed.
“He’s unbeatable.” Blur said. “Time for Anti Blur.” Blur said as he tried transforming, but it wasn’t working.
“Blur, you haven’t fully earned your Anti form. If you’re going to be able to defeat Apocalypse you’ll have to become it, but you must first...” Emily said, but before she could finish the last 3 words a heartless covered her mouth.
“Time to destroy you Blur Journey Blazer. With the power from the kingdom hearts by my side. I’ll never be stopped.” Apocalypse chuckled as a giant heart appeared behind him. But he soon heard it crack.
“NO!” Apocalypse screamed as his kingdom hearts was destroyed.
Blur then tried figuring out what Emily had said. ‘All this time I've been relying on the Positive energy, when I should have also been using negitive energy.’
When Apocalypse turned around his saw a white and black aura surrounding him. “Infinity and Silence, the two entities that keep balance of the universe. I ACCEPT BOTH OF YOU!” Blur shouted.
“No…no…NO!” Apocalypse screamed.
Blur then once again tried to become his Anti form and this time he succeeded. Apocalypse stared at the form with fear.
“Alright Apocalypse your rain of terror ends. I will unlock your heart today.” Blur said.
“Got your second wind, have you?” Apocalypse chuckled in all ten of his voices at once. “It won’t do you a bit of good. For all your power, I still have over a million worlds worth of power at my disposal!”
Apocalypse floated forward and struck at Blur, and tried to grab him in the jaws of one of his heads. But he was too slow, as he was able to lop off that head, and it disintegrated as it fell away from the neck. This time the head didn't return.
Soon he was attacked by another of Apocalypse’s heads. This time he was caught between its pincer-jaws, but managed to catch them. Still, it was a tremendous effort to resist their force.
But as he watched, he noticed one of the heads had a thicker neck and it seemed to have been concentrating as it had regenerated the lost heads.
“I think I figured out your weak point!” Blur said, pointing to the central head.
“CHAOS GALE!” Blur shouted as he vaulted over a head sent after him. Sure enough, the Chaos Blur scored a direct hit his central head’s eyes. All ten heads roared at once.
“Now, to unlock your heart!” Blur said. He called his keyblade to his hand.
“CHAOS…UNSEAL!” Apocalypse started changing, he turned into a creature made out of ice. He smiled and said “Thank you. I have returned to my true form, Freezios”
All across the world, the people cheered, for Apocalypse had been defeated.
-- -- -- -- -- --
The Team was back at Giga’s training grounds where they were saying goodbye to the knights.
“Thanks to you we can now start rebuilding the universe. There is still many evils that you’ll have to conquer, but I know as a team you’ll beat them all.” Ventus said.
“Son, I have to go with them for a while to help rebuild everything, but I promise I'll return one day.” Chaos said.
“Make sure you take care of mom.” Tsunami said.
“Bye, bye grandpa.” Blue said.
"And you have him to talk to now." Chaos chuckled.
Soon they all disappeared into a portal.
"Who is you're mom anyways?" Ashura asked.
"It wan't obvious from the story? My mom's Electra."
------------
An 18 year old Blur was twitching nervously and pacing around the hall. All the male heroes were watching Blur pace around and becoming quickly annoyed.
“Oh man, this is big. No, not big, this is huge!” Blur exclaimed.
“Calm down, Blur. You’re gonna wear a hole in the floor.” Rock joked.
“Do you think he'll go through the earth?” Scylla asked. (A member that will join in the future)
“Let’s hope not.” Rector chuckled.
“How can you be laughing at a time like this?” Blur exclaimed.
Mach had enough. The red hedgehog walked up to Blur and punched him straight across the face.
“Get a hold of yourself.” Mach ordered. “Is this really how a hero would act?”
“But...”
“No buts!” Mach cut him off. “Listen, we all know you’re worried, but there is no reason to be. Whatever you do, we know it’s the right choice.”
Blur’s nervous attitude suddenly disappeared. Just then, a unblinded teenage Rev entered the hall.
“Hey, everyone, Geisy’s ready.” Rev said.
“Well, better hurry up. You can’t miss your own wedding.” Mach joked.
"Har, har Mach. Har, har." Blur said.
--------------
Blur, Mach, and all the other heroes were gathered around Geisy. Blur stayed close to Geisy as he watched the bundle in her arms. The bundle was Blur’s first child, Blitz. He looked exactly like Blur only light blue.
“So, how does it feel to be a father finally?” Mach asked.
“It feels great.” Blur said joyfully.
--------------
In Geisy’s arms was Blur’s second child, Serenity. She looked exactly like her mother, only Pink with twice as many bangs each coming from one side of her forehead.
“She’s so small.” Blitz said.
“And she looks just like you, Geisy.” Chaos said.
“At least we don’t have to deal with another Blur.” Mach joked.
“HEY!!” Blur and Blitz exclaimed.
Blur soon woke up in his bed. He went to the window and opened it up. “That was no dream. That was the future.” Blur said.

Blur was lying down on a open field snoozing the day away bac in his old clothes until… “BLUUUUUUUUUUUUR!!!” Blur shot right up and went into his Super form. “Blur relax it’s me.” Geisy said from behind him. Blur reverted back to normal. “What is it?” Blur asked.
“A message from Chaos.” Geisy said.
“From Chaos?” Blur stated more than asked.
Blur hurriedly shook the message from its container and unrolled it. Wondering why Chaos wanted to contact them.
The letter read:
Blur
Congratulations on once again defeating a serious threat to all the worlds.
Trillions of beings are forever in your debt.
You are in dire need of rest, and I dare say that you’ve earned it. But there is still great danger. I know that that’s the last thing you want to hear after all we’ve been through, but still...
Our dimension; New Elemarious has been attacked lately by these strange creatures, and are world has started to break apart, if we don’t fix it soon…the whole universe could implode.
I’m dearly sorry for calling you back into action so soon, but I’m afraid there is no choice.
Unfortunately, I cannot give you all the details through this letter; on the off chance it is intercepted (never hurts to be careful guys). Once we meet, I’ll tell you everything, that’s a promise.
Again, my sincerest apologies. I hope that you can forgive me.
Yours Sincerely,
Chaos, guardian of water.

The story begins at New Elemarious. Deep in the middle were the elements of Infinity and Silence. There were two men, wrapped in purple clothing, slowly pacing down the hall. They stopped at the end of the hall to face a black door etched with silver snakes. The last thing they would want to do is walk through, but they had no choice. One of the men Preysed his hand to knock when...
“Enter.” A small voice commanded.
The men were fearful, but hesitantly walked in. Once inside, you could understand why. The masked figure sat at the handmade stone throne. The men approached him and kneeled. The men stiffened when the felt something slither between them, but did not dare to move. The snake slowly crawled up the throne and watched protectively over her master.
“What is it?” The masked figure hissed.
“My lord...” The man trembled. “W-we’ve brought the report l-like you asked.
“And?” The masked figure edged.
“W-we’ve watched Blur’s movements like you asked.” The man continued. “We studied him, watched for his strengths and weaknesses.”
“And what have you found?” The masked figure questioned. Viper gazed hungrily.
“He has the ability to run faster than the speed of sound.” The other man stated. “And he has also been known to manipulate chaos energy. He mostly prefers it for his signature technique, Chaos Gale. He also can use chaos control and he can use the Super Form.
“And his weaknesses?” The masked figure questioned.
“Apparently, he can’t swim. We have also received word that he has a girlfriend named Blair Sol Marina.” The man continued.
“The swimming problem is one he most certainly can overcome.” The masked figure said thoughtful. “But the girl could be just the thing I’m looking for. I’ll look into it later. Now, what is the report on my other target, Ashurion?”
-------------------------------------------------
The team was on Wing’s latest creation: The Space Hurricane, that was 100 miles away from New Elemarious, but the scene changes to a vast ocean. It was a land filled with strange creatures no one would see anywhere else. The creatures also included real living aquatic dinosaurs. Wing would have a field day in this place. But somewhere in the center of ocean range stood a lone house made of rocks.
An anthromorphic shark suddenly swam out of the cave, he had 5 fins that started from the top and headed to the back of his head, he also had 1 axe shaped fin on each side of his head, he had 5 of his teeth from the top of his mouth sticking out, he had a fin on each of his arms and he had 3 blue scar shaped markings on each side of his stomach, and he had purple eyes and the white part of eyes was red for him, his name was Prey.
“What a boring day.” Prey muttered.
Prey continued to mumble to himself that he barely had time to realize he nearly hit a rock. He swerved past the mountain, barely scraping himself. Unknown to him, someone was already waiting for him next to that very rock.
“My lord, Prey has just left mountains.” The someone said to no one. “Shall I continue to follow him?”
“You are done following, Kai.” The masked figure’s voice hissed from nowhere. “The boy is getting nosy for his own good. Kai, you know what to do.”
“As you wish, my lord.” Kai said.
“Man, this search thing is not going too well.” Prey moaned to himself as he fell back on the sand. “I’ve looked everywhere and I still can’t find a single hedgehog.”
Suddenly he noticed something he missed before. In the background was a shadowed figure.
“What in the world is that?” Prey questioned. “Who are you?”
“You won’t live long enough to find out.”
Before he realized what happened, a torpedo flew out of nowhere. A moment later, Prey was caught in a shower of torpedos. He quickly flipped backwards as the torpedos started swarming around him. He landed promptly back on his fins the moment the showers ended. But it was then he noticed a new figure in the field. It was a Great White shark robot.
“Who are you?” Prey asked immediately.
“I am Kai, The masked figure’s faithful follower.” Kai introduced.
“You’re the masked figure’s lackey, huh?” Prey smirked. “Thought I smelled something foul in the water’s oxygen.”
“You would be wise not to insult him, Prey.” Kai said coolly.
“How do you know my name?” Prey asked surprised.
“You would be amazed at how much Lord the masked figure knows about the Elemental 8.” Kai said indifferent.
Prey looked confused for a moment, but only a moment. With a swish of his arm, Kai reached into his body and launched a barrage of torpedoes. Prey jumped behind a boulder to avoid them, but only got off with near misses when they sliced through the boulder. When the barrage stopped, Prey jumped out from behind the boulder with his palms held out. He formed orbs of blue energy in his palms and threw them at Kai. But the heartless killer didn’t seem troubled. He reached into his jacket and drew a giga-sized torpedo. He rose to the orbs of energy, which were surprisingly absorbed by the strange torpedo.
“What was that?” Prey questioned.
“In expectation of this bout, I forged this special weapon.” Kai explained. “It is forged from adamant like me; the made from the core of meteors. It can absorb any type of energy and render it useless, plus it’s the strongest metal in the universe.”
“Then we’ll have to settle this the old fashion way.” Prey smirked.
Prey charged forward, dodging left and right to avoid Kai’s torpedoes. Knowing he was too close for the torpedoes, Kai stored them. Kai jumped away when Prey threw a punch to him. But when he missed, Kai observed his attacker smashing the boulder behind him to rubble.
“He is far stronger then I predicted.” Kai thought. “I must watch myself around him.”
Prey swung around with his leg outstretched. Kai raised his arms to block, but that didn’t stop the impact from sending Kai flying across a garden of seaweed. Kai swerved back to his feet and just in time as Prey was already over him. Prey brought one of his side fins down to the ground, which formed a massive crater in his wake. Kai jumped back as the crater was formed below him. While still in the air, Kai observed Prey cup his hands, gathering a massive amount of energy to a single point.
“There’s too much energy.” Kai stated to himself. “My weapon can’t absorb that much power.”
“Let’s see you try to get out of this one!” Prey exclaimed. “AQUOS JET!”
Prey thrust his palms forward, expelling a stream of blue energy. Kai, being unable to move in midair, was hit full force by the blast. The after shock forced Prey to fall back and bang his head against a boulder. Lucky his head is hard.
“At least that’s over.” Prey said in relief.
“Really?” Prey twisted around in shock. Kai was leaning against a sand hill, perfectly unharmed.
“How did you got over there?” Prey stammered. “You were there and now you’re there.”
“You’re not the only one who has been granted gifts.” Kai said monotone. “But since you were willing to show me yours, I shall return the favor.”
Prey prepared himself for Kai’s attack, but it was pointless. Before Prey had a chance to blink, Kai’s fist was already smashed into his stomach. Prey doubled over in pain, but barely had time to take it in full. Kai swung his leg back and kicked his opponent backwards off the ground. Prey was hovering a few feet off the ground, but that didn’t matter to Kai. The machine loomed over Prey like a vulture to its prey. Kai started off with a knee to his back and an elbow to his gut. He swung his fist to Prey’s face, sending him flying for over a mile. Prey didn’t know what happened next, but it was very painful. Kai was all over him like a swarm of wasps and jabbing at Prey in every direction. And it all happened in under a minute. Prey collapsed to the ground in a crumpled heap.
He lifted Prey up off the ground by his top fin. Kai reeled back his fist and lodged it into Prey’s back. He pulled back and attacked in the same place. Kai performed the same thing over and over again; Prey cried out from every hit. Our hero was ready to pass out any second now. And the moment he did, he knew it would be the last time he ever opened his eyes. But Prey persevered. Knowing his tactics weren’t working, Kai switched. He reached into his body and pulled out a particularly sharp knife.
“I am sorry to say our little game ends here.” Kai said. “But don’t fret; you will be honored by being my first kill.”
“You’re a sick freak.” Prey groaned.
“This is where words fail.” Kai said indifferently. “And so does your life.”
Kai raised his knife and swung it around to Prey’s back. But inches before it hit, Kai’s hand stopped. Prey could feel his grip slowly releasing. Once he was free, Prey turned back at Kai with a confused expression.
Kai finally snapped out of his trance. What was it that he just experience? Who did those four voices belong to? They sounded familiar.
“Hey, pal!” Prey called. “You awake! I’m sure you would want to miss this!”
Kai was suddenly brought back into the fight against Prey. How could he have been so stupid to be distracted in the middle of a battle? While he was out of it, Prey had once again cupped his hands and formed the same attack from earlier. Kai tried to move, but he felt that his legs were suddenly weighed down. When he looked down, he found that Prey had tied his legs into the sand, preventing him from moving. Struggle as he might, Kai was trapped. Just then, Prey unleashed his attack.
“AQUOS JET!” Prey roared.
With only a distance of five feet apart, there was no way Kai would have enough time to duck out of the way. A flash of blue light that came from Prey’s attack lighted up the ocean. A large sand cloud was formed from Kai’s spot, Prey panted from the lack of energy. But when the dust cloud disappeared, Kai had been broken into millions of pieces.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The scene returns to the middle of New Elemarious. The masked figure was roaming down the corridors. All the servants coward against the wall as their master passed by. Viper stared at them with a hungry look.
“Now, now, Viper.” The masked figure said malevolently. “We need to keep a few of them alive. How else are we going to get anything done around here?”
Viper hissed in a language that only the masked figure could understand. Whatever she had said, the masked figure laughed. Just then, Tank materialized out of nowhere in front of his master. He looked weak and frightened; Sweat was dripping down his face.
“Tank, what are you doing here?” The masked figure questioned irritably.
“I’m sorry, my lord.” Tank gasped. “But I was unable to complete my mission.”
“That is unlike you, Tank.” The masked figure said in disgust. He walked past the rhino with Viper slithering at his side. “Don’t fail me again unless you wish to feel the wrath of Lord Neon!”
“My lord, we’re all falling.” Tank said suddenly. “Kai has been destroyed.”
Neon stopped in his tracks and turned to Tank with a look of interest.
“How can you be so sure?” Neon said apprehensively.
“I heard him.” Tank said. “That shark, Prey, from the Aquos section of New Elemarious managed to take him out before he could use his ultimate attack.”
“If what you say is true,” Neon said, suddenly cheerful. “Then this could be the opportunity we’ve been looking for.”
“But what about the Elemental 8 and traitor Ashurion?” Tank asked.
“Forget about him!” Neon screeched impatiently. “Let me worry about the boy! You just do as you are told!”
“As you wish, my lord.” Tank bowed
“Blur...” Neon hissed. “He could ruin everything.” He slams his fist into the wall.

The scene changed to Neon’s chamber. The evil tyrant was sitting on his throne, watching his viewing portals; a hint of amusement etched on his face. The Blur Team had just landed in New Elemarious and were being swarmed by his army of the undead. Just then, Tank’s face appeared on one of the portals.
“What is it, Tank?” Neon asked. “Can you not see that I am enjoying myself?”
“Master, this is urgent!” Tank said apprehensively. “Blur, Leon and Prey are heading your way!”
“That’s a relief.” Neon chuckled. “For a second, I thought I was going to get bored.”
“But, Master.” Tank said desperately. “How do you plan to...?”
“Have you already forgotten my little pet project?” Neon questioned; a malevolent smirk plastered on his face.
He craned his head over his shoulder to look towards the shadows of the chamber. Something long and large slithered across the chamber floor, but its face was hidden by the darkness. All that could be seen was two gleaming red eyes and a green opal stamped between them. Neon nodded towards the beast and it slithered out of sight.
--------------------------------------
Blur, Prey and Leon, who were walking along the thick, darkened hall. Prey could barely see his claw in front of his face, but Leon obviously had some ability Neon must have given him when they were on the same side.
“There is no reason to be so mistrusting.” Leon said; who could see Blur’ anticipation, despite having his back to him. “I have no reason to betray you. I’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to kill Neon ever since what he did.”
“But why now?” Prey asked. “You would have plenty of opportunities.”
“I had zero, especially when he is the underworld ruler.” Leon said logically.
“Why wait for me?” Blur asked.
“You are the only one people such as Neon fear, you are...the key.” Prey explained. Blur would always wonder why people kept telling him that, but now wasn't the time to ask.
The moment the trio stopped, light had returned to the darkened corridor. The source was provided by a colossal green sphere that hovered in midair. He sphere itself was as tall as a tower and as wide as a canyon. Blur and Leon had to shield their eyes from the shining light radiating from the sphere. Prey, having gone in and out before, was used to it.
“In there is one of Neon’s chamber.” Prey stated. “But that’s strange.”
“What is?” Blur asked.
“From what I hear, he’s very over confident in his abilities. But he should have some defenses” Prey said. “Maybe he expects us to walk – what was that?”
“What?” Leon asked.
“That noise, listen.” Prey hissed softly.
Blur and Leon followed his lead and remained silent. The corridor was empty and not a single sound could be heard other than their own soft breathing. They were ready to say that Prey was losing it when he heard it. The sounds of a sickening squelch slithering across the floor; a low growl followed in its place. The sounds disappeared as sudden as they appeared. Suddenly a creature over forty feet long jabbed between the three, knocking them apart. The 3 jumped to their feet just when the beast had hidden itself in the dark path of the corridors.
“What was that?” Blur questioned.
“I had a funny feeling Neon wasn’t going to mess around anymore.” Leon said.
“Welcome.” A deep, growling voice echoed through the corridors.
“And who are you exactly?” Blur questioned seriously.
“I am one of my Master’s 8 most loyal followers.” The growling voice replied. “The Master is my past, present, and future. If you wish to go against his will, you will suffer dire consequences.”
“And who exactly is going to stop us.” Leon said sternly.
“I guess you deserve to see the face of your death.” The deep voice said menacingly.
The 3 remained rooted to the floor, feeling apprehensive at what they might meet. The sickening squelches resumed their pace, this time coming from one direction only. They could see the outline of the beast as it roved under the light of the glowing sphere. The figure belonged to a massive crocodile beast that looked like it had some snake parts in it. Its skin was a sickening shade of red, but most of it was covered by the green armor that covered most of its body. It had five teeth on the back of its head and looked even more lethal with the spear-sized teeth in its mouth.
“I am perfection!” The crocodile hissed. “My master has made me one of the 8 most powerful of all his creations! I am truly the ultimate life form!”
“Ultimate or not, you aren’t getting in our way.” Prey said seriously. “Now stand aside or be slain.”
“You are in no position to be calling threats.” The crocodile growled; a hint of amusement in his voice. “I never had a chance to ever test my limits. The will be excellent practice.”
“The last you’ll ever get!” Blur exclaimed.
Leon shot forward with his fist held out, but the crocodile curved away at amazing speed. It lifted its tail and slapped Leon back into the shadow of the corridor. While Blur distracted it, Prey thought he would be able to sneak up behind the beast. Oh, how wrong he was. The crocodile’s heightened sense of smell detected Prey within seconds. The crocodile fell backwards; its teeth stabbing the ground inches from where Prey was standing. Realizing that his situation had been compromised, Prey flipped backwards away from the beast.
“He wasn’t kidding.” Prey mumbled to himself.
“And exceptionally good hearing.” The crocodile said smirking; its teeth pulled out of the ground. “Now you realize what you are up against. Maybe if you get on your knees and beg, the Master just might forgive you for your treachery.”
“I would rather die then bow to that filth.” Prey spat.
“Funny, you would choose those exact words.” The crocodile chuckled.
The crocodile held its head towards the glowing sphere with it maw wide open. A blue tornado sphere started to resonate between the jaws, filled with contents that looked like water. But water had never turned green as the crocodiles did. Then Prey remembered that the crocodile was part snake. If combined with water, the venom would be five times as deadly. Prey would run when he realized his leg was throbbing. It was bleeding; cut from when the crocodile stabbed its teeth. The crocodile aimed its poisoned liquid towards Prey with a look of satisfactory. Its jaw was snapped shut, canceling the attack.
“What the?” The crocodile asked muffled. Its gaze shift below its maw where Leon was who had his jaws binded together. “How dare you, you filthy fish. Release me this instant!”
“Not happening!” Leon exclaimed. He shifted his head around to Prey. “This is your chance! Strike him while he’s caught!”
He didn’t need to be told twice. Ignoring the pain in his leg, Prey stood tall with a Aquos Jet in hand. He staggered forward for a moment before breaking into a furious run. Only feet away, Prey leapt. His Aquos Jet cut clean across the beast’s middle region. He landed gracefully like a hero after the battle. A few seconds of silent pause passed before the unexpected happened: the crocodile laughed. It was still alive.
The crocodile swung its tail and snapped it at Prey behind him. Prey was thrown at one end of the corridor. The crocodile tried to separate his jaws; Leon straining to keep them together. But Leon was blown away.
“Hahaha!” The crocodile roared humorously. “Your friends have fallen and you are left to face me alone. Do you think you are up for the challenge?”
“Challenge? I wouldn’t exactly call this a challenge.” Blur joked. “Now trying to sneak out after a bill, there’s a challenge.”
“You this is a joke!” The crocodile roared furiously.
‘”Pretty much.” Blur shrugged.
“Insolent whelp!” The crocodile exclaimed. “I shall send you back from whence you came!”
The crocodile reared up its head again to summon up its diseased water and released a torrent of ill-infected liquid. Blur desperately held up his hands and surprisingly parted the current in two seconds before it could reach him. He looked down at his hands and saw his gloves had burnt off. He looked back to find that the water had burned through the floor behind him.
“He’s combined the water and the venom of the snake to turn it into acid!” Blur shouted in shock.
“So you have finally figured it out.” The crocodile sneered. “My powers have gone beyond the limitations of mere mortals. It doesn’t matter if you are legendary for destroying Apocalypse.”
“It seems to matter greatly since Neon is too afraid to face me personally.” Blur retorted.
“My master fears nothing!” The crocodile roared angrily. “He does not need to waste time dealing with rodents like you!”
“Then why do you?” Blur asked. “If you are ‘the ultimate life form’, then why do you need to waste your time?”
“I have had enough of your talk!” The crocodile exclaimed furiously; his face becoming as red as his eyes. “Just shut up and die!”
The crocodile reared up its head again for another attack. Blur needed to act fast. He couldn’t move in close because of the tail. He needed help, any help would do. Blur had no other options left. This was his only chance. Blur made a break for it as the crocodile positioned itself for the shot. The crocodile released its acid and Blur threw a Blur Gale. The Blur Gale sliced the acid down the middle. It propelled itself up the stream and through the roof of the crocodiles head. It screeched and flailed its head randomly before falling over on its side, dead.
“That couldn’t have been any closer.” Blur sighed.
He shuttered for a moment before picking himself up. He walked over to the crocodile just as Prey joined him.
“So much for the ultimate life form.” Prey muttered.
“If that beast was only half as strong as Neon, we’d best pray.” Blur said seriously.
“Fair point.” Prey said, walking under the glowing sphere. “Shall we get going?”
He walked underneath the glowing sphere with Prey and Leon at his side. But what the three didn’t realize is that they were not as thorough as they had though. The crocodile’s claw twitched as its eyes flew open and grabbed the three and threw them at the wall knocking Leon out cold.
The crocodile, succumbed to his rage, held out his open palm to form a sphere of green energy. Blur had no idea how to stop it. He didn’t have time to think as the crocodile threw it forward at lightning speed. It was over; he has failed everyone. Blur closed his eyes, accepting his failure. But the hit never came. Suspicious, Blur opened his eyes. But when he did, he wished he hadn’t.
Prey took the hit.
Blur was petrified. But he was not worried for himself, but for his comrade. Prey stood in front of Blur as he took the impact of the crocodile’s assault. The evil tyrant sniggered gleefully. It wasn’t what he had hoped for, but it was good enough. Blur Preyly jumped to his feet as Prey began to topple backwards. Blur caught him and laid him gently on the dry, dusty ground.
“Blur, are you ok?” Prey asked weakly.
“The one we should be concerned about is you.” Blur said. “Why did you save me?”
“Do you know what I see when look at you?” Prey asked. “I see hope. Hope that you will usher in a new revolution and restore our universe to its former glory.”
“Prey...” Blur whispered.
“Are you weeping?” The crocodile cackled. “The legendary Blur moaning over a hopeless fish.”
“Prey was not a fish!” Blur exclaimed.
“I’m right here, you know.” Prey said, clutching his head.
“Prey was an amazing warrior.” Blur said, ignoring Prey’s statement. “His heart was more pure and stronger than yours will ever be!”
“Don’t bother trying to fight back.” The crocodile said, noticing Prey’s movements. “Instead, just sit back and witness the beginning of a new era.”
“I will never accept you as my master.” Blur yelled.
“Then you will have the pleasure of being my first kill.” The crocodile laughed.
The crocodile was too busy collecting energy that he did not notice. Balls of light come together into Prey’s hand, forming a blade.
“I know what I must do.” Prey murmured.
The crocodile’s attack was almost complete. But the chance would never come. For a moment later, Prey jumped up and stabbed his blade through the crocodile’s stomach.
“CHAOS SACRIFICE!!” Prey yelled.
A mighty explosion erupted from the mark.
-----------------------------------------------
Blur woke up. He found that he was no longer in the chamber, but back at the front entrance of Water land. He wasn’t alone. The Blur Team witnessed the blast and swarmed to investigate.
“What’s happened to Prey?” Rev asked with concern.
“We were fighting a crocodile.” Blur explained. “I was trapped and he was left to fight for himself. He stabbed the crocodile in the chest and then the whole place was covered in a strange light. Next thing I know, I’m back here. Now I need to find out what happened to Prey.”
“Would that have anything to do with it?” Geisy asked.
Geisy pointed out to where everyone could see a small crumpled figure could be seen lying their in a cloud of dust. When the dust had cleared, the hero could see...
“Prey!” Everyone shouted.
Prey was on the ocean floor, panting heavily. Everyone instantly rushed to his side. The others hesitated for a moment, but eventually followed their example. He looked terrible. His body had turned dull and his feet were slowly dissolving and going up his legs.
“Prey, you’re fading away.” Leon said.
“That’s what happens when you put all your being into a single attack. Though people who are 1000000 years old don’t actually have true beings, right?” Prey chuckled weakly.
“Prey, what did you do?” Blur asked.
“I used the last of my life force to kill him.” Prey explained.
“What about you?” Emily asked.
“I’ve reached my limit.” Prey said. “This is where my destiny ends. I've lived to long anyways, now I can finally rest in peace. Blur, it's your duty from here. I've served my purpose. I'm finally free.” He finished as his body completely disappeared.

The Blur Team had went to an island that had just risen in water land because of the defeat of one of Neon's 8 strongest henchman. They were making the tombstone for Prey.
"Rest in peace. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten." Tsunami said.
"Blur Team." Some random voice said.
Everyone turned around to see Giga and a cloaked figure behind them.
"Giga! What brings you here?" Wing asked.
"I came to congratulate you on your first victory...and loss, the worlds created by the elements are in trouble and if you don't manage to stop Neon, it could mean the universe's end. You've already managed to restore Aquos at least." Giga said.
"We know that clitch, but who's the other guy with you?" Mach asked.
"I am the one who created the universe, I go by many names, God, Ag Es, Spode, Infinitos, Uno, but my true name." The man said removing his hood revealing a hedgehog that looked like Blur's Anti form only white with gold eyes. "Is Eclipse."
"Okay guys we need to find a way to get to the other element worlds since the Space Hurricane is junked." Tech said irretatively.
"Allow me." Eclipse said waving his hand and teleporting a red ship at was over 10 feet long. "This is the gummi ship, it will allow you to travel to any world, as long as you unlock the keyhole with this." He soon had the Kingdom Key keyblade in his hand and then he threw it to Blur. "I believe the one known as the key should be doing the job."
"Come on guys, let's get to the next world already." Tech said in a annoyed mood.
Everyone went on their new ship, but before Blur and Geisy got on.
“Geisy. Before I forget, I have something to deliver.” Eclipse said.
“Yes, sir?” She asked. Geisy wondered what god could possibly have to give her. Eclipse waved his hand, and Geisy began to glow.
No-not Geisy, her hand and a key shaped blade appeared in it.
"This is the keyblade known as Destiny Heart, another friend of yours should soon be getting a keyblade, but he can not earn it until the darkness in his heart is gone." Eclipse said before he and Giga vanished.

The gummi ship was flying over the element of Earth and landing into the world. When they exited the ship Aura soon stared screaming while she choked Leon.
"Giant Mantis!" Aura screamed. Everyone soon saw a Praying Mantis that was 10 times bigger then a normal one. "Relax, I won't eat anyone. My name is Mantix, the earth member of the Elemental 14." Mantix said.
"14, but I thought there were...oh yeah I forgot." Wing asked. "I guess no one told Prey yet, and I'm sad to here he's died. After the incident in the original Elemarious, new elements were born." Mantix answered. "There are 20 elements now, some are only depicted as semi-elements due to their power level. The main ones are Fire, Water, Lightning, Wind, Earth, Light, Shadow, Ice, Grass, Sound, Poison, Energy, Psychic, Gravity. The Semi-elements are Metal, Wood, Blood, Fear, Magic and Force."
"You catch on fast my friend." Everyone turned around to see a figure they thought was long gone: Darkrion wearing an Organization XIII cloak. "Darkrion!" Bur shouted summoning his keyblade. But Rock pushed him aside.
Darkrion just snorted. “Beat it rockhead! I’m not interested in fighting you.”
“We’ll you’re gonna HAVE to be interested!” Rock swung a fist in Darkrion’s face.
Darkrion caught it in one quick swipe…
Rock growled and fired his second fist at Darkrion’s face.
Darkrion caught that fist too… Darkrion shook his head. “I could’ve thrown you away after the first failed punch, you know.”
“Then… Why did you let me throw a second one?” Rock demanded angrily.
A cruel sneer sported Darkrion’s mouth. “So…I…could…do…THIS!” Darkrion started to grab tightly onto Rock’s fists…VERY hard.
“AGH!” Rock’ hands were suddenly infused with sheer pain. “Wh-What are you doing?” He groaned, as he felt Darkrion’s grip tighten each second. The pain was agitating at first, but slowly…it was becoming more than that. The pain started to become excruciating, as Rock felt like every bone in his fists was slowly starting to break.
“It’s simple, rockhead…” Darkrion threw Rock a murderous glare and scowl. “I’m going to hurt you like you’ve NEVER been hurt before…” He tightened his grip.
Blur’s jaw dropped in horror. ‘Darkrion…is he doing what I think he’s doing? Come on Rock…don’t give in…please hang in…’ His body began to shake.
Wing was shaking with fear. “Darkrion…please, stop this…please…” He begged for his brother's safety.
Geisy just stared. Her body was numb with tension and fear. ‘No…Rock…please…don’t hurt Rock…’
Jasmine was crying with anger, and fear as she watched her beloved being tortured. Fear for Rock’ safety…and anger towards Darkrion. ‘Darkrion…if you do something to Rock…I swear…I’m going to hurt you…’
Now the pain was becoming unbearable, and tears slowly began to trail down Rock face as he tried to break free. ‘I…can’t take it… So…painful…my hands…he’s…he’s crushing my hands!’ Suddenly…
CRACK! CRACK! Two sickening cracks were heard; the cracks of breaking bones.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!” Rock screamed in pain. Darkrion had just broken every bone in his hand.
Blur turned white as a sheet as he heard the sounds of breaking bones, he felt a violently nauseous feeling in his stomach, and resisted the urge to throw up.
Wing however, did not have Blur’s will power and fainted right on the spot, not being able to stand the sight.
Geisy let out a horrified yelp and shut her eyes, tears streaming down her face as she cried.
Jasmine couldn’t stand this any longer as she watched her loved one suffer so much pain. “R-Rock…how could he do such a thing to you…” Her hands were shaking. “Rock…speak to me…” She sobbed.
“M-My…hands…” Rock whimpered hoarsely. “Darkrion…crushed my hands…the pain…hurts so much…”
Blur had had enough of this. “Darkrion…” He whispered in a low growl as he stomped towards Darkrion. “You… You… You…”
"MY NAME IS NOT DARKRION!" He shouted throwing off his cloak and putting it back on as a cape showing the nobody mark on his chest. "I am number 12 of Organization XV, Dakronirx!" Dakronirx shouted before disappearing.
Blur asked. "What's Organization XV?"
"Allow me!" Mantix said handing Blur a piece of paper that read.
Organization XV is a group of Nobody's lead by Neon's nobody Xeneo. The members of this organization are:
I. Xeneo
II. Xaogzui
III. Zalxon
IV. Vinxo
V. Lixaor
VI. Axiln
VII. Saxil
VIII. Axlent
IX. Digyx
X. Leyxrd
XI. Marxio
XII. Dakronirx
XIII. Angst
XIV. Andersen
XV. Naomi
They are a group of nobodies who wish to be whole, but remember they don't have feelings so don't let them fool you.
"WHAT?" Everyone, but Rock yelled.
"Wait, that means some of the villains we faced are part of the organization." Wing said.
'But who are the others?' Blur thought
--------------------
"That move you made was risky Dakronirx." Xeneo said.
"Sorry, but I put one of their strongest out of comission for a while." Dakronirx said.
"That's a good thing for us, Tank head to the world of the earth element. It's time for some fun." Xeneo chuckled.

The scene opens up to the lair of Organization. Xeneo sat at his chamber upon his throne with the Shadow Chaos Emeralds surrounding him. He summoned the board which Darkrion once used to keep track of the battle. Most of the heroes were scattered; a select few were at the gummi ship.
“Lord Xeneo?”
Xeneo turned sharply towards the sound of the voice; his face shown with irritability. His expression softened when he came face-to-face with Naomi, whom was flinching fearfully.
“What is it, Naomi?” Xeneo questioned.
“The others have successfully located two of the Shadow Sol Emeralds.” Naomi said, holding the green and red Shadow Sol Emeralds to present to Xeneo..
“That will have to wait another time.” Xeneo said. “For now, we must worry about the key bearers.”
------------------------------------
The scene alters to the Gummi ship. Mantix and Multis were in the workshop. Multis was hooked up the main computer while Leon was in a ‘Leon’ position. Apparently, Mantix was trying to find a way to make the Chaos Fusion technique stronger and not cause bodily harm. Blur was only there because he was bored.
“Are you done yet?” Blur moaned for the seventeenth time.
“The process is delicate.” Multis stated. “Every aspect must be taken with extreme caution. The slightest miscalculation could...”
“Ok, ok, I get!” Blur exclaimed.
“How did I get stuck with him for a rival?” Leon mentally growled.
Mantix shook his head before diving right back to work. At that moment, Geisy and Emily walked in
“Whatchu doing, Blur.” Geisy asked.
“Uh...you know...stuff.” Blur said.
“We’re trying to figure a way to strengthen the limits of the Chaos Fusion.” Leon explained. “We’ve managed to figure out how the fusion is operated. The problem is trying to figure a way for it not to backfire on us.”
“You know, you need a Chaos Emerald to do that, and they’re all gone.” Emily stated simply.
“WHAT?!” The heroes exclaimed.
“SO WE DID THIS FOR NOTHING?” Multis Asked.
Suddenly the alarm went off and Blur, Geisy, Leon and Emily ran out of the ship.
“Hey, wait for us!” Mantix screamed.
Mantix quickly grabbed Multis by his arm and dragged the massive robot away from the computer, which was a really stupid idea on his part. The cords that connected Multis to the computer were ripped, creating a small explosion that engulfed them.
“On second thought, we’ll just wait here.” Multis said.
------------------------------------
The scene changes to the ruined remains of the north section of Subterra.
"Destroying cities has lost it amusement.” Tank stated. “I guess that’s because they’re attacked so much. Maybe we should consider looking for a new battle ground.”
“While you do that, we’ll be kicking your tail!”
Tank turned sharply, only to find a purple blur scrape across his face. Blur uncurled from his ball form as he landed next to his teammates.
“Well, I was wonder what was taking you so long.” Tank smirked.
“You wouldn’t believe the traffic on the way here.” Blur joked.
Emily was the first the step into battle, despite the various warnings from Leon. Emily leapt towards the evil rhino. Tank smirked and held out his palm and gathered energy around it to summon a familiar large yellow arrow.
“CHAOS LANCE!” Tank roared.
The arrow shot from his palm and aimed for the area between Emily’s eyes. But the female wasn’t that easy to deal with a he had thought. Much to the surprise of others, including Leon, Emily twirled around in midair to avoid the attack. If you can all remember, Chaos Lance is connected to its summoner until the attack hits something. Emily grabbed the thin trail, and pushed herself onto the thin space of energy. She ran up the line and, to Tank’s shock, swiped a kick across the evil hedgehog’s face. The Chaos Lance finally faded when it blew a hole in the ground.
“Hah!” Emily cheered. But she stopped when Tank stared at her with a malevolent expression. “Uh oh!”
Tank quickly grasps her legs and swings her to the nearest Mountain.
Tank turned his head to the red hedgehog. Geisy had already summoned her Keyblade into her hand and zipped up to her target with her own speed. Tank pulled back his head nonchalantly as Geisy swung her keyblade around at him. Geisy landed and swung around for a second attempt. But Tank was clearly the superior hedgehog as he stopped the keyblade dead with just his forearm. She tried to pull back, but the evil hedgehog grasped the end of the keyblade. In one swing, Tank hurled Geisy over into mountain with Emily.
“Nice of you to drop in.” Emily said.
“Now to rid myself of these annoyances.” Tank said, forming a deadly blast in his palm.
“Stay away from her!” Blur roared. He held out his hand and formed a sphere of blue chaos energy to perform his signature technique, it seemed his rage fueled him as his attack got even bigger meaning it had evolved. “CHAOS STORM!”
Blur rushed and slammed the massive wind sphere into Tank’s chest. The rhino gasped in shock; his lethal attack faded, and was thrown into the building across the street, which happened to be a beauty salon. Blur was barely able to stand on his feet. He was laughing so hard when Tank came out where tons of make-up and a blond wig.
“Nice look for you!” Blur laughed harder. "Definately an improvement!
The make-up and wig quickly burned away as Tank’s anger flared to new heights. He moved faster than the wind and appeared right behind our favorite blue hero. He threw a punch at Blur’s backside, but the true purple hedgehog back flipped over Tank’s head. In his moment of distraction, Leon zoomed up and nailed his fist to the side of Tank’s face. It took a mere second to recover from the attack, but he did not anticipate for Leon to swing around and slam his foot into his chin. Tank was sent flying into the air, which was more then the opportunity they needed.
Blur, time to strike!” Leon called.
“What?” Blur questioned.
“Tank’s skills are worse when he’s airborne.” Leon explained. “Take him out while you have a chance because he’s heavy and will land soon.”
“You’re going to pay for that!” Tank yelled angrily, recovering from the assault.
Tank held out both of his palms and summoned two large yellow arrows into his hands, performing a double Chaos Lance. Leon was mystified at how someone could even obtain such a level, but he didn’t stare too long. Leon swiftly back flipped into the air to dodge the first attack. But when he thought about it, he soon found himself helpless to avoid the second oncoming attack. The second Chaos Lance was moving in fast and there was no way he could dodge in midair like Emily. But Blur knocked the attack away with his keyblade. Tank growled, but while he was, something else came to mind. Where was Blur? He did a double take and realized Blur was nowhere to be found.
“Now where did that filthy blue rat get off to?” Tank growled.
“Looking for someone!”
Tank’s head shot up, where he found Blur’s keyblade crashing between his eyes. While the evil rhino cried out in pain, Blur twisted around in midair and rammed his keyblade into Tank’s stomach. Tank was hunched over, blood starting to crawl out from his mouth. Tank tried to swung his fist around at him, Blur fell back and rebounded off a near by street lamp. Blur smirked with confidence as he curled into his ball form and shot at his enemy. Blur uncurled as he neared Tank and slammed his keyblade at the top of the rhino’s head. Tank fell to the ground in a heap while Blur landed gracefully.
“Man, you’re slow.” Blur grinned. "And I'm not filthy. I just took a week ago."
"EEW!" Tank yelled “This isn’t over yet.” Tank sneered.
“Actually, I think it is.”
Tank turned back, soon to be grasped around the throat by Leon.
“Welcome to my nightmare.” Leon said. “CHAOS HURRICANE!!”
But nothing even happened. “What?”
“You think he’s all right?” Emily asked with concern.
“He’s fine.” Geisy grinned confidently.
“But why...?”
“EARTH SMASH!”
A sudden avalanche emerged from the mountains, striking down everything in its path. Unfortunately, Geisy just happened to be in its path. Blur noticed this and jumped in front to take the hit. The avalanche knocked our blue hero back five feet, barely keeping him conscious.
“Blur!” Geisy cried.
“Geisy, get away.” Blur warned weakly. “Get out while you still can.”
“NO! Not without you.” Geisy sobbed.
‘What can I do? My powers are gone, Blur is out, and I’m the only one left, there’s nothing I can do. NO! I CAN’T GIVE UP! THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING I CAN DO!’ Leon thought. And at the same moment summoned a Keyblade without knowing how. This Keyblade was pitch black with a red rim around the handle. Its keychain was half sun and half moon and the end pieces form the shape of a broken heart. The Unlocker.
“A keyblade? But how?” Leon asked. Suddenly the 3 keyblades aimed at Tank and he was hurtled miles away out of Subterra.
“I’m going to need some explaining.” Leon said to himself.

But before Leon got an explanation Tank came back in a matter of seconds. And his impact caused Blur to wake up.
“If you four think you can beat me,” Tank said. “Then give it your best shot.”
Geisy looked for confidence in Emily and it with given in the form of a smile. With reassurance, Geisy resumed her stance. Slowly, they started to make their way towards each other, bring their hands together. They shot a quick pose in the opposite direction before bring their hands together again; only their index fingers were touching.
“FU-SION-HA!” Geisy and Emily chanted simultaneously.
Suddenly, a flash appeared from the points were their fingers touched. The light was a terror to Tank. The evil rhino was blinded by the strange light; his heart was too dark to be allowed to witness such a thing. As the light died down, Tank’s vision began to return. But before he could even blink his eye, he found a gloved fist smashed into the side of his face. The force of the attack sent Tank tumbling nearly fifty yards back.
“What the heck?” Tank cursed in anger. He quickly used Chaos control to teleport back to his previous spot. “Who do you think you are trying to...?”
But Tank’s voice quickly left him. Instead of two hedgehogs, they found one female hedgehog with a whole new look. She looked similar to Geisy, but her quills had Pink stripes She wore a fusion of Emily and Geisy’s clothes. She also had white gloves with one white and one silver ring bracelet. While Blur and Leon appeared stunned, Tank seemed angered.
“A fusion!” Tank spat. “Talk, woman! Tell me your name so I can kill you!”
“I don’t know.” The hedgehog said in Geisy and Emily's voices. “This is only the second time I’ve used this form. I know! Just call me Emeisy!”
“Emeisy, huh?” Tank said; his expression changed to one of delight. “You can pull whatever trick you like, woman. But in the end, it will be I who will walk away from this fight.”
“Never underestimate the power of a girl!” Emeisy exclaimed.
“Do you think she can win this fight?” Blur asked Leon.
“I don’t know.” Leon replied feebly. “But she’s the only hope we’ve got.”
Tank waved his hand to her as a challenge, one which Emeisy could never pass up. The fused female kicked off the ground and suddenly vanished in plain sight. Tank was caught off guard by this and was unprepared when Emeisy’s knee nailed him in the side of the head. Tank staggered backwards for a moment before holding his open palm to Emeisy. He had planned to summon a Chaos Lance, but was interrupted when elbowed him in the stomach. The impact forced the evil rhino to cough up a small trail of blood from his mouth.
“Aw, you tired?” Emeisy asked mockingly. Tank threw a punch at her, but she back flipped away. “Don’t you know it’s not nice to hit girls?”
“Will be courteous when I see one.” Tank chuckled.
“Oh no, he didn’t.” Blur said.
“I know he did.” Leon said.
“Oh, you’re in for it now, jerk!” Emeisy roared.
Emeisy zoomed behind Tank; her speed was double of what her usual forms were. She swung around and slammed her forearm to the side of Tank’s neck, sending him tumbling to the side. During a mid-bounce, Emeisy appeared besides Tank and ran her foot to his back. The evil rhino tried to regain control while in midair, but Emeisy’s speed clearly outstripped him in his current form. She reappeared in front of Tank in midair and started pounding away at him left and right. While down on the ground.
“Give up yet?” Emeisy said confidently. “Face it, there is no way you can beat me.”
“I wasn’t trying to defeat you.” Tank stated. “I was merely buying myself time.”
“By your time?” Emeisy repeated confused. “For what?”
“If you had taken notice, five minutes have nearly passed.” Tank explained. “In a matter of moments, the fusion will wear off and I will kill you on the spot.” Tank holds out his palm and begins to summon another Chaos Lance. “Your time will be up in...3...2...1!”
At one, Tank thrusts his hand forward and released the massive energy arrow. The form of chaos energy exploded on contact, forming a cloud of dust in its wake. Blur gasped horridly while Leon growled with seething anger. Tank smiled in the most malicious manner.
“As could be expected from a feeble pair of rats.” Tank said.
“Who are you calling a rat?”
Tank twirled around on his heel and stared in shock. Emeisy was crouching next to him, perfectly unharmed. Before he had time to process this information, Tank felt a fist smash into his chest. The evil rhino was thrown back half a mile and groaned loudly as he tried to force himself back to his feet.
“But...how?” Tank asked weakly. “How can you still be in that form? Five minutes have passed since you used the fusion technique.”
Emeisy smirked. “Unlike Chaos Fusion, this fusion not only prevents the users from being hurt, but the fusion lasts until we choose to seperate.”
“That’s impossible!” Tank exclaimed.
“You ready to give up?” Emeisy said confidently. “It’s obvious that you can’t beat me.”
“I would never think of surrendering to the likes of you! I’m one of Xeneo’s strongest 8!” Tank screamed hysterically. “NOW I’LL SHOW YOU MY TRUE POWER!”
In a flash of tremendous red light, Tank’s body was transformed from its regular state. His skin turned red, the iris of his eyes turned yellow, his entire body was covered in horns and the horn he already had become black and X shaped.
“This can’t be good.” Emeisy muttered.
“Get ready to die!” Tank roared.
Tank kicked up off the ground, forming a crater where he once stood. Before she realized it, Tank was standing in front of Emeisy with his fist reeled back. Acting fast, Emeisy curved backwards to avoid the raging fist which surely would have knocked her head off. Emeisy planted her hands to the ground and shot her foot upwards at Tank’s chin. But the red demon barely flinched. Emeisy, on the other hand, fell down and grasped her foot, which was in pain.
“Geez, what’s he made of? Cement?” Emeisy hissed.
“You didn’t really expect such a feeble attempt to stop me.” Tank grinned, crossing his arms. “I’m feeling a bit generous. Why don’t I let you have a shot to prove how weak you truly are?”
“You’re going to regret that.” Emeisy said.
Emeisy flipped back to her feet and twirl around to kick Tank’s head with her heel. But, again, the red Rhino didn’t even flinch. Realizing her old tactic wasn’t working, she flipped back a few feet away. She swiftly curled into a ball form similar to Geisy’s and started to spin in place. Tank’s raised his brow with intrigue as Emeisy suddenly released from her position and nailed Tank in the face. The red ball dived away and uncurled back to her regular form. Tank was sporting a nastily black and blue bruise on his face.
“This is getting boring.” Tank said monotone. “If you have any tricks left, perhaps this would be the best time to reveal them.”
“I do have one more move left.” Emeisy mumbled to herself.
“Are you quite through.” Tank interrupted. “I’m kinda in hurry, so let’s get to the killing.
“Whatever you say.” Emeisy said hesitantly. “Here goes nothing.”
Emeisy held up her hands toward Tank’s direction and formed them into the shape of a circle. Emeisy started muttering nonstop under her breath while watching Tank through the hole in the hands. Suddenly, the hole in Emeisy’s hands was being filled with a large amount of red chaos energy. Tank was surprised by the sudden show of power and put his hands up to defend himself. Emeisy’s hands were filled with so must energy that sparks were flying and destroying whatever they touch. Blur barely missed two random sparks. But after taming the force of the blast, Emeisy was ready.
“Let’s see how you like this one!” Emeisy shouted confidently. “CHAOS UNLEASH!”
To everyone’s surprise; a sudden red blast erupted from the fused hedgehog’s hands. The blast had the same force as Leon’s Chaos Blast, only with more form and direction. Tank held up both of his palms as a shield. When both forces came in contact, the area exploded in a ray of red light. As the light died down, a cloud of smoke remained where Tank stood.
“Yeah, that was tight!” Blur cheered.
“I can’t believe I just did that.” Emeisy said, half proud, half disbelief.
Emeisy waved to the two male hedgehogs with a proud sign of victory. Blur was ready to run over to her side when Leon suddenly stopped him. Suddenly a blur emerged from the cloud of smoke and dived behind Emeisy.
“Emeisy, watch out!” Leon warned.
But it was too late. By the time she turned and found Tank, not a single scratch on him, her right arm was almost completely severed from her body. Blur and Leon stared in horror as Emeisy was clutching her bleeding arm.
“You truly believed that you could beat me.” Tank said malevolently. “Now you know the price for attempting to defeat me. A fitting end for such a fool.”
We’ve got to help.” Blur said as Tank moved in towards Emeisy.
“With what?” Leon questioned. “In case you haven’t noticed, none of our attacks work on him.”
“Except.” Blur said with a mischievous smirk.
Leon exchanged looks with Blur, who, judging from his expression; seemed to have caught on with Blur’s plan, Leon started backing away until Blur acted like Emily dying. Back with Tank and Emeisy. The Rhino kicked the poor red hedgehog across the face and skidded down the destroyed street. Emeisy tried to get up to her hand and knees, but Tank kicked her in the stomach, forcing her to the ground again.
“Are you ready to submit?” Tank asked pleasurably.
N-never.” Emeisy spat furiously.
“Too bad.” Tank grinned. “And here I was hoping you would consider joining my army.”
“I would rather die than join you!” Emeisy yelled.
“That can be arranged.” Tank said. “CHAOS BLADE!”
On command, a thin red blade of chaos energy surrounded Tank’s hand. He held the blade to Emeisy’s neck, searching for a proper place to cut, before reeling his hand back. But just as he started to swing, a pair of voices called out that caused him to stop.
“FU-SION-HA!”
Tank, his Chaos Blade vanished, spun around towards the direction of Blur and Leon. Both hedgehog had, surprisingly flawless, performed the same dance Geisy and Emily did. No one will ever let Leon live that down. The point where their fingers touch emitted a flash of light brighter than Emeisy’s Tank was blinded once more, but quickly regained his senses to witness the birth of his newest enemy. His fur was Purple with dark blue streaks; and he wore a fusion of Leon and Blur’s clothes.
“It’s not possible!” Tank exclaimed in fear.
“Oh, but it is. You can callme Leur.” Leur smirked in Blur and Leon's voices.
“We’ll see about that!” Tank roared with anger. “You may have your fused form, but I am still the most powerful! You will bow to me!”
“Yeah, like that’s going to happen.” Leur smirked.
Tank held out his palms to summon another Chaos Lance, but by that time, Leur was gone. Tank search frantically around for the hedgehog with no luck of finding him. Leur could not be seen until he jabbed his elbow into Tank’s neck. The Rhino was sent flying through three ruined buildings until he tumbled across the street. Tank stumbled back to his feet and held out his hand just in time to stop Leur’s kick.
“Not bad.” Leur complimented; he back flipped away from Tank. “For a minute there, I thought this was going to be boring.”
Tank drew his arms together and began to gather a tremendous amount of red chaos energy around his body. From the time you’ve known Mach, this attack shouldn’t come as a surprise. “CHAOS BLAST!!”
The red energy exploded from Tank’s body, creating a blast of nuclear proportions. Leur brought his arms up as the blast suddenly engulfed him and everything within a five mile radius. Slowly, the blast died down with Tank standing in the center of a large crater he formed. Normally, any villain would be proud of what they had accomplished. But Tank only seemed even more frustrated.
“I am getting tired of this nonsense.” Tank said.
As the cloud of dust started to blow away, Leur could be seen covering Emeisy with his body. Leur looked unharmed. He lifted himself off of Emeisy, who was also safe from the blast.
“You ok?” Leur asked.
“I’ll be fine.” Emeisy informed.
“You’ve wasted enough of my time, Leur.” Tank said. “It’s time we put an end to this frivolous battle.”
“Fine by me.” Leur said. “I’ve had a killer technique that I’ve been dying to try.”
“How ironic.” Tank smirked. “Because you will be dying soon enough.”
Tank and Leur were caught in the traditional stare down. Suddenly, a pebble fell and the final clash began. Tank and Leur shot up off the ground with both their fists reeled back. They were within five feet from each other when they threw both punches together. The blow landed with a deafening thud. Leur’s fist embedded itself in Tank’s chest, but the dark hedgehog missed Leur by an inch. With an extra bit of strength, Leur forced Tank back fifty yards before screeching to a halt at the end of the crumbled street.
“This can’t be.” Tank gasped. “How can I lose to him? I am Tank, the Rhino.”
“Yeah, yeah, whatever.” Leur waved nonchalantly. “Lets face it, you can’t beat me.”
“Everyone has a weakness.” Tank stated. As he looked around, and idea hit him and he quickly smiled in a sinister way. “And I think I just found it.”
“What are you talking about?” Leur asked hesitantly.
“If you truly are a combination of Blur and Leon, then you share the same weakness: compassion.” Tank explained. “You care too much for the life of others. Especially those girls.”
“You wouldn’t!” Leur exclaimed.
“Just watch me!” Tank roared victoriously.
Tank swiftly drew out his hand and began to summon an orb of red chaos into him open palm. Emeisy was still weak and quickly realized that she was in danger. But because of her low energy, she had nowhere to go. Angered by the fact that was trying to kill Emeisy, Leur jumped blindly ahead at Tank. It was a lucky break, too. Before he even had a chance to fire, Leur planted his kneecap into Tank stomach. Caught off guard, Tank unintentionally dismissed the attack and clutched his stomach in pain. Taking the opportunity, Leur flipped backwards, kicking Tank in the chin. As Tank staggered back, Leur gracefully landed with his back to his opponent.
Tank, you dare to try and kill Emeisy.” Leur growled “Now you’ll have to pay the consequences.”
“Just give your best shot.” Tank challenged.
Leur raised his hand to the sky. Suddenly, waves of chaos began to emerge from the area around them and gathering into his open palm. The chaos energy began shaping together into a multicolored ball of light the size of a baseball. In one tense moment, Leur clutched the orb in his hand while turning towards Tank.
“CHAOS BREAKER!” Leur yelled.
All of a sudden, a bright blinding flash exploded from inside Tank; specifically, his left arm. When everyone could see again, they found that Tank left arm was blown off along with fragments of his chest and face, which showed he was dead.
“That was awesome.” Emeisy said, running over to Leur’s side. “You were Amazing, Leur.”
“I knew that attack would kill him.” Leur stated seriously. “He deserves it after what he did to you.”
“Oh, you mean my arm?” Emeisy asked. “It’s nothing to worry about.”
Emeisy closed her eye and strained to push as much energy she had into her arm. All of a sudden, to Leur’s shock, Emeisy’s arm completely healed as if it was never cut in the first place.
“Healing powers.” Leur said approvingly. “Emeisy, you are simply amazing.”
“Thanks.” Emeisy smiled. “I think we should get back to the Gummi ship before we get into anymore trouble.”

After returning from their battle against Tank, Blur and his friends appeared in the Ventus lands.
“Where do we go now?” Delight asked.
“We have to find the keyhole to take us to Organization XV’s base.” Dash explained. “But I don’t see any entrance.”
But just as Dash said those words, a cloud of darkness emerged. When the darkness vanished, an arched entrance could be found in its place.
“That’s convenient.” Rain said.
They swiftly dived through the arch into a small intersection. They soon found themselves inside a Grand Hall.
“Where’s Blur going?” Storm asked.
“I don’t know.” Selihpem replied. “But we better make sure he doesn’t get into any trouble.”
Blur raced up to the top of the stairs; his heart pounding with each step. He quickly reached the top under the shadow of a golden heart. Selihpem joined along side him, but everyone else was thrown back by an invisible barrier.
“Guys, you ok?” Selihpem asked.
“We’re fine.” Storm groaned. He reached out and felt the barrier. “Where did this come from?”
“It’s a trap!” Dash stated. “Blur, we’ve got to get out of here!”
But Blur paid no attention to his warnings. A strange sensation came to Selihpem.
“Why hello.”
Blur turned towards the top of the golden heart, where someone who looked like Selihpem could be found. He sat there with a malevolent expression while grasping a Dark blade in hand that was shaped like a bat’s wing.
“Who are you?” Blur growled.
“It’s not obvious.” The figure said grinned. “I am Selihpem’s older brother, Vile.”
“Wait a minute!” Blur exclaimed. “Selihpem, you had a brother?” Blur asked. “I’ve already lost the only family member I ever cared for because of him and my parents, you’ll pay for killing Vella.” Selihpem shouted.
“Forget about our stupid sister, her fate was decided when choose the path of light.” Vile said. He hopped down from his pedestal and gently glided down below the golden heart.
“SHUT UP!” Selihpem roared.
But Vile paid no mind to him. Even as Selihpem ran up to strike, Vile merely swatted him away with his hand. Selihpem was thrown across the room and beyond the barrier. Vile came up to Blur and held the Dark blade to his head.
Vile swung up the Dark Blade with a maddening look on his face. He swung it down with great force, knowing that nothing would be able to stop him. Blur wanted to fight back, but the pain in his heart was too much to handle.
“Don’t give up, son!” Sonic said.
“Be strong, Keyblade Master!” Elipse shouted.
“Blur!” Geisy screamed.
Those voices somehow brought Blur back to full strength. In a blinding flash, Blur summoned the Keyblade and halted its the attack. Vile looked on in shock as Blur stated to force him back.
“Forget it!” Blur roared. “There is no way I am letting you do any harm to anyone!” “Then feel the power of Xeneo’s remaining greatest 8” Vile said as he summoned Viper, the cardinal, the porcupine, and 3 other creatures and absorbed them with his blade.
Blur pushed Vile back fully and watch as the dark seeker flipped back onto his feet. Blur held his Keyblade in a battled position, but that did not concern Vile. He actually seemed to be more intrigued by the weapon itself.
Vile drew forth the Dark blade and the battle had begun. Blur started off by running up to Vile and throwing down his Keyblade vertically. But Vile merely dodge to the side and swung the Dark blade around once on his feet. Luckily, Blur curved backward so that the weapon barely missed him by an inch. But Vile had already anticipated the tactic and brought his foot up to Blur’s face. Blur tumbled towards the direction of the keyhole while Vile charged straight at him. Just as Blur stopped, Vile stabbed his Dark blade down upon him. Acting fast, Blur grasped Vile by the shoulders and flipped over him before the Dark Blade reached it’s target. Once he landed, Blur swung around and cut across Vile’s back with the Keyblade. Vile fell to his knees, but looked perfectly unharmed.
“Simply amazing.” Vile chuckled. “You truly are the Keyblade Master.”
“What did you expect?” Blur grinned. “There’s a reason the Keyblade chose me.”
“Even though all of the Keyblades originally belong to Eclipse, I cannot argue.” Vile said, turning around. “But of course this mean I have to get serious.”
“You were holding back.” Blur groaned.
Vile held out his hand as it suddenly as a surge of electricity surrounded it. Without warning, Vile threw out his hand and an electric disk erupted from his palm. The disk hit Blur, but it wasn’t as bad as he expected. But that was quickly changed when Vile ran up and stabbed his shoulder with the Dark Blade. Blur clutched his shoulder and remained firmed, despite the pain. But Vile spun around on his heels and cut across Blur twice to knock him to the ground.
“Are you ready to surrender yet?” Vile questioned.
“Not in this lifetime.” Blur said.
“I guess that’s good, seeing as you won’t have one.” Vile chuckled.
Vile brought down the Dark Blade, but Blur rolled away to the side. Unfortunately, the aftershock of the Dark Blade created a wall of electricity that crashed into Blur. While Blur was down, Vile attempted another stab at him. Blur held up his Keyblade and blocked Vile’ attack with the guard ring. Blur kicked the dark seeker in the chest and flipped him over his head. Blur quickly got up to his feet and swiped across Vile’ chest several times before he had a chance to get up. Vile was thrown back to the barrier. Blur swung his Keyblade down for the final blow when a sudden surge of electricity surrounded Vile’ body. A random bolt struck Blur the chest and sent him flying to the other side of the barrier. Blur watched as Vile slowly drew to his feet with a crazed expression plastered on his face.
“Don’t you see yet?” Vile said wildly. “The darkness is the ultimate weapon!”
“You’re wrong!” Blur stated. “I once thought that the Keyblade was the greatest weapon. But right now, I’ve realized there is something more powerful than any Keyblade: my heart.” Blur said tossing his keyblade aside.
“The heart is truly a magnificent power.” Vile nodded. “But as powerful it is, it can be easily broken.”
“Your wrong.” Blur chuckled. “My friends are always with me in my heart. As long as they never forget me, my heart shall never be broken.”
“Wake up from your delusional fantasy.” Vile said. “This is reality. Darkness is the strongest power in the universe.”
“Oh, yeah?” Blur replied. “Then prove it.”
“With pleasure.” Vile grinned.
Suddenly, all the light in the hall was absorbed by the Dark Blade. The Dark Blade started to hover into the air with its master along side it. before Blur had time to realize it, Vile charged forward with blinding speed. Blur dodged out of the way, only receiving a small gash at his side. he turned towards Vile direction, only to find that he had disappeared. Suddenly a dark portal opened to the side and Vile shot out of it like a cannon. Blur dived out of the way as Vile disappeared through another dark portal. Vile repeated this step over and over again until Blur was covered in nothing but bruises. Blur fell to the ground and Vile landed in front of him.
“Such is the feeble power of the Keyblade Master.” Vile smirked. “In the end, he was nothing more than a mere pawn.”
“I’m...not done.” Blur moaned.
“Oh, but I think you are.” Vile said, raising the Dark Blade. “And now we end this.”
Vile swung down the Dark Blade, this time with no interference. As Blur lay there, he began thinking why he was here. “I...” Blur whispered. “Won’t give up!”
In an amazing outcome, Blur somehow regained his strength and swung around his foot. His foot knocked away the Soul Eater and smashed across Vile’ chest. As Vile cried out in pain, Blur realized he had won. Vile fell back to the floor in defeat. Blur summoned his keyblade and finished Vile for good.
“Blur, look!” Wing shouted.
Blur looked over to the heart was really a keyhole. With Vile defeat, the barrier had disappeared and his friends were able to reach Blur.
“We need to close the keyhole.” Storm stated.
Blur walked over to the dark keyhole and held his Keyblade to it. But to there disappointment, a beam of light did not come and close the keyhole.
“It won’t work.” Wing said. “The keyhole isn’t finished yet.”
“How can we finish it then?” Blur asked.
“Because it needs me.” Selihpem said
Without giving it a second thought, Selihpem walked over to the Soul Eater. He slowly made his way over, partly not wanting to go through with it. But he had no choice. The others remained silent, but wondered what Selihpem was up to. When they saw Selihpem pick up the Dark Blade, their thoughts became clear.
“Wait!” Leon exclaimed. “There has to be another way!”
“We’ll think of something, we promise!” Jac yelled.
“Why are they yelling?” Rev asked, being the only one who couldn't see.
“Selihpem’s going to kill himself to save New Elemarious from collapsing!” Alexis explained frantically.
“CHAO!” Lucky cried fearfully.
Despite all their desperate yells and cries, Selihpem knew this had to be done. Selihpem turned to his friends with his pupiless eyes and surprised them all with what looked like a cheerful smile.
“Sorry, but this is the only way.” Selihpem said. “Rapid, you thought me how to love and be loved back. Blur, promise me you'll protect her.”
“Selihpem, stop!” Rapid cried hysterically.
“Goodbye guys.” Selihpem said calmly.
Of all of the heroes, Rapid was the only one who tried to stop him. But by the time she reached him, it was too late. Selihpem had turned the Soul Eater and ran it through his own heart. The Dark Blade was suddenly engulfed by a bright light radiating from his chest. The Dark Blade pulled itself from Selihpem and vanished from existence.
As the crystal demonic hedgehog fell backwards, he could only smile.
“Selihpem!” Rapid yelled. “Selihpem”
Rapid ran over to catch Selihpem. But when her arm wrapped around him, his body evaporated into tiny fragments of darkness. She could only stand there, watching, as Selihpem’s life was departing into the dark abyss. The only sound made was from Rapid desperate pleas.
“Selihpem!” Marine cried. “Come back, Selihpem! I…love you.”
Blur slammed his fist into the golden heart, and Rapid continued to stare into the darkness.
“Please, come back.” Rapid sobbed.
“He’s not coming back, Rapid.” Blur gasped. “He’s gone. Lost forever in the darkness.”
“But he promised we would be together forever!” Rapid yelled. “He promised!”
“Such sentiments are useless at this time. Especially when all of my plans had gone accordingly.”
At the sound of the voice, the heroes turned and found a new figure standing across from them. She looked like a hedgehog except for most of her body was made of black crystal and ooze. His eyes sinister green with a red iris around them, her mouth was nowhere to be seen, and her quills were made of solid crystal. She wore silver trench coat and a heartless necklace.
“Who are you?” Storm questioned seriously.
“I am Terror, Selihpem’s mother.” The hedgehog said dramatically.
“Stay back before we get serious!” Mach growled.
“We won’t let Selihpem’s sacrifice be in vain.” Blur said hesitantly.
Despite Blur and Mach boasts, Terror felt no threat in them. She held out his crystallized claw to await an attack when something happened. All of a sudden, Terror’s body began rigid and unstable. He looked like she was struggling against something.
“Impossible!” Terror roared.
Just then, feathers started to emerge from Vile’ body.
“No, you won’t harm them.” Predator screamed diligently.
“Predator!” Rapid exclaimed.
You’ve got to run!” Predator yelled. “The heartless and nobodies are coming! And our heartfull and somebodies can’t hold them off much longer, find Lash the Scorpion and ecape.”
A small band of Neo Shadows stared to appear Terror swatted Predator and KO’d him. Just when everyone started to kill of the Neo Shadow’s more began taking their place. Even some Wizards, Defenders, and Wyvern were starting to appear.
“There are too many of them.” Storm said, tossing a defender to the side. “We have to retreat.”
“I don’t normally say this,” Blur said, knocking off a Wyvern. “But Storm is right. We’ve got to leave.”
Tsunami formed a barrier to stop the heartless, which bought them enough time to run for it. Terror chuckled at Silver’s attempts and merely held out his claw to disintegrate the barrier and went after them with someone going ahead of her without her seeing him.
It was Selihpem. But he had changed; he looked as if he was evil again. Meanwhile, with our heroes. Everyone struggled endlessly to reach the entrance to the castle. Along the way, they were faced with more than they had ever seen before. And the fact they were getting stronger didn’t really help with the cause. Finally, after three levels of heartless and nobodies, the heroes made it to the exit. They pushed the door open, breathing in the air of freedom. But it was more bitter than anticipated. For once they opened the door; Selihpem could be found blocking the way.
“Going somewhere?” Selihpem questioned.
“Selihpem?” Rapid asked hopefully.
“It’s Selihpem the Dark, you worm.” Selihpem growled. Soon he and Blur were charging at each other.
“Wait!” Rapid cried out before they could start attacking. She gently grasped Selihpem’s hand. “Selihpem, I know you’re in there somewhere.”
“The good Selihpem is dead.” Selihpem stated. “The darkness destroys all those who are weak.”
“No, I know you’re still in there, Selihpem.” Rapid said. “Please, come back to me.”
Selihpem was torn. On one hand, he wanted to destroy the girl, but something in his dark heart was stopping him from doing so. Could it be that love had rubbed off on him enough. Before he even had time to ponder this, a group of Neo Shadow emerged from the floor and surrounded the group.
“DANG!” Mach exclaimed. “It’s a trap!”
And the heroes scattered into four different directions to battle the heartless and nobodies. But unknown to the heroes, a particular group appeared around Rapid and Selihpem.
“Just give up.” Selihpem said. “It will be over in a moment.”
“I’m not worried.” Rapid said smiling. “Because this time, I’m saving you.”
Selihpem looked bewildered. Would she really be willing to give up her life for him? Then again, Prey had done the same thing for them. Was this really what it felt like to be a hero? Was this how love was supposed to feel like? The group jumped and dived down on Rapid. At the last second, Selihpem dived on Rapid to shield her with his body. A few seconds later, the other heroes noticed the massive pile of shadows near the door.
“Rapid!” Flash called.
“We’ll save you!” Storm shouted.
But before they could take the first steps, a sudden ray of light erupted from the massive pile. The Heartless were blown to the walls and forced back into the darkness. The heroes could see it, but they would not believe it. The dark hedgehog had protected her from the Heartless, but not the way he was before. He had changed.
“Rapid, thank you.” Selihpem whispered.
“Selihpem.” Rapid replied happily. But gasped when she saw one of the biggest changes in Selihpem, he had become mortal. “Selihpem, you’re not a demon anymore.”
“Thanks to you.” Selihpem grinned.
“Selihpem!”
Selihpem turned and found his friends looked stunned to see him alive. Rev looked totally clueless, which was not a first for him due to being blind.
A new group of Neo Shadows emerged from the darkness and Blur, Geisy and Mach took it up upon themselves to summon their Keyblades, but a Wyvern came and snatched all 3 keyblades. Just as one of the Neo Shadows jumped, a scorpion appeared out of nowhere and cut it down the middle with a stinger.
“Lash!” Blur praised.
“Guy, you got to get out of here!” Lash warned. “They're everywhere!”
“Come with us.” Blur offered. “We can escape together.”
“I’m not leaving. Like Prey; me, Mantix, Predator and the other element 14 have served our duties.” Lash said.

Everyone had gone threw the exit and when they were through they saw a giant hallway full of dead bodies full of bite marks.
“AH!” Rev screamed; everyone nearly jumped out of their skin. “This place is creepy.”
“And a little suspicious.” Selihpem said usually serious. “Watch out. They could be anywhere.”
“Hey, we’re fine.” Blur assured them. “All we’ve got to do is keep or guard up.”
“I didn’t think you would make it this far.”
Xeneo appeared behind them with.
“Sorry to disappoint you, Xeneo.” Dash growled.
“Oh, don’t worry, I’m not.” Xeneo grinned. “I was hoping I would get the chance to finish you myself. Now unless you want to die, I would suggest you leave this place immediately.”
“Not a chance!” Blur exclaimed.
“You were always such a fool.” Xeneo sniggered. A sudden wave of darkness surrounds him and disappears just as quick. Xeneo was now wearing a dark blue suit the covered every portion of his body. A tattered white cape hung from his waist and the heartless symbol stamped on his chest. “You are nothing without the Keyblade. The darkness will destroy you.”
“You’re wrong!” Blur stated unnerving. “The darkness can destroy my body, but it can never touch my heart. My heart will always be alive inside my friends. It will never die!”
“Oh yeah!” Xeneo said challengingly. “Let’s just put your little theory to the test!”
Xeneo thrust his hand forward, emitting a single dark orb from it. Blur pushed everyone back for safety and covered them with his body. They pleaded with him to run away, but he remained unmoving.
“And his theory is right!” Someone suddenly yelled.
There was a sudden screech and a minuscule thud. Blur jerked his eye open and realized he wasn’t dead. They all looked up and saw that they were surrounded by the Elemental 14.
“Sorry, they’re not going anywhere.” Bullet stated firmly.
“Hey, guardians!” Zap shouted. “You coming or what?”
The 14 guardians jumped out of nowhere and stood beside them.
“So you have you little troupe together, big deal.” Xeneo said irritantly. “You 61 are still no match for me. You don’t even have a weapon, Blur.”
“I know now I don’t need the Keyblade.” Blur said confidently. “I have a better weapon: my heart!”
“You heart!” Xeneo said in a roar of laughter. “You have been reading too many fairy tales. What can that weak little thing do for you?”
“My heart may be weak, but it’s not alone.” Sonic said. “It’s grown with each new experience and found a home in all the friends I’ve made. I’ve become a part of their hearts as they’ve become a part of mine. And if they remember me, if they don’t forget me, then our hearts will be one. I don’t need the Keyblade! My friends are my power!”
“What a touching little speech.” Xeneo said monotone. “But I’m afraid it will take a lot more than a few words to defeat me.”
“I’ve had enough!!” Xeneo screeched insanely.
The dark hedgehog jumped into the air; his feet kicked against the ceiling. He whipped his blade around and stabbed it into the ground; the heroes scattered when Xeneo came close. The force of the strike formed a scar into the floor that reached from one end of the room to the other.
“That’ll leave a mark, permanently.” Rector commented.
Rev foolhardily waved his hands wildly and shot a number of water orbs from his palms. Xeneo swift and severe, lashed his Blade across the orbs with pinpoint accuracy, evaporating them. Rev was too wild with his blasts that he didn’t realize she was getting closer to him until he was in his face. Xeneo kicked the young hedgehog in the face and knocked him down to the ground. Xeneo raised his Blade and nailed it at Rev, But Aura jumped and pulled her away in time to save her. Aura swerved past Xeneo’s constant slashes and locked herself onto his shoulder. Xeneo tossed and turned to push her away, but Aura remained firm. Xeneo summoned another torrent of darkness that lashed Aura away from him. Dash jumped up and caught her before setting her down. Dash charged like a bull towards Xeneo with his head low. But to their surprise, Xeneo merely held out his hand and halted Dash in his tracks. In a surprising feat of strength, Xeneo actually raised Dash and tossed him up to the chandelier. Mach jumped in and tossed a horde of chaos bombardments. Xeneo twirled his Blade, which formed a shield to block the attack. Mach touched down, but Xeneo had somehow moved in front of him in under five seconds. The hedgehog jabbed his fist into Mach stomach.
“You’re pathetic.” Xeneo murmured, Allowing Mach to drop to his knees.
“Such a pity one such as you should die.” Xeneo smirked as he raised his Blade. “Ah well, him to his own ends.”
Xeneo took a vertical swipe at the hedgehog’s head, but a blur came out of nowhere and blocked it.
“You forget someone?” Blur said.
“You don’t stand a chance, Blur.” Xeneo grunted. “I know in the past you were a loser. Nothing has changed.”
“You’re wrong.” Blur smirked. “I’m stronger than I’ve ever been.”
“Well, we’ll just see about that.” Xeneo said.
Blur pushed back and Xeneo back-flipped to the center of the room. Blur jumped and clashed his fist with Xeneo and was thrown back. Xeneo swung left and right, but Blur mimicked his movements. Blur aimed for his legs with a Chaos Storm, but Xeneo kick flipped over his Blur’s head and landed behind him. Once he touched ground, Xeneo swung back with his Blade. Blur, familiar to Xeneo’s fighting style, side flipped to stop the evil blade from severing his neck. Blur spun around and pushed Xeneo away. Xeneo came up again, but this time, he did it in a different fashion. He spun around on his heels like a top and outstretched his blade arm. Blur was slightly nerved by Xeneo’s sudden change and did his best to hold him back. With his guard down, Xeneo kicked Blur into the wall.
“What were you saying?” Xeneo grinned. “Something about you being stronger?”
“It’s not over yet.” Blur groaned, pushing himself to his feet. “I’m just getting warmed up.”
“Please.” Xeneo rolled his eyes. “If Leon couldn’t defeat me alone, how could you?”
“Because he’s not alone!”
Xeneo turned on the spot where he witnessed Geisy kicking him in the chest. The force of the kick pushed him up off the ground, where Kumori skidded under. She held out her open palm and fired two chaos spears at his back. Xeneo was nearly to the ceiling when he regained his stance. Rector and Leon held their hands out for Blur to jump up. Blur kicked off towards Xeneo, who brandished his blade. But it was suddenly knocked out of his hands by a psychic screw Wing fired. Defenseless, Xeneo could only stare as Blur brought down a Chaos Storm.
“Game over, Xeneo!” Blur cried.
The Chaos Storm made contact and Xeneo was shot into the crack he made earlier. Xeneo jumped to his feet, his shoulder aching from where Blur hit. But just when he was ready to go again, his armor and Blade faded. He was defeated.
“You may have the darkness, Xeneo.” Blur said, joined by his friends. “But I have something better: my friends.
“This isn’t over, Blur.” Xeneo panted.
With the last of his strength, Xeneo fled.
“We won!” Delight cheered.
“We beat him!” Rosie also cheered.
“I always believed in you, Blur.” Rector said.
“I’m not surprised.” Chaos said. “Your heart was strong. You could never lose with that. But that was only one member of XV, if we continue, we’ll likely face them all.”
The room suddenly started shaking like an earthquake. “Just as I feared.” Chaos said.
A sudden wave of darkness erupted from beneath ground and reached to the sky. The heroes resumed their stances, awaiting anything that would emerge from the sky. But what they found was not to be expected. A creature with the body of Devil Doom with the heads of Organization XV’s number 1 - 12.
“I did not see that coming!” Multis exclaimed.
“And just when you thought he couldn’t get any uglier.” Flash commented.
“I would suggest you don’t mock me, rat.” Xeneo said.
The colossal monster emitted a gulling roar before spewing a massive fireball from its mouth. The heroes split up. Rock and Rector climbed up the tall vines until they were hanging overhead of Xeneo. Rector jumped from his spot and slammed his fist into Xeneo's head. The demon didn’t flinch, only flicked the annoyance off his head. Much to Rock’s’s agony, Xeneo spotted him. Xeneo’s grasped the tiny hedgehog.
“Gotcha.” Xeneo spoke.
“Oh really!” Rock roared. “FIRE FIST!”
A fire shaped like a fist formed from Rock’s hand. The fist lodged itself in Xeneo’s Eyes, forcing the beast to release Rock while it cried out in pain.
Delight cupped her hands, Aura jumped out of Delight’s hands ten feet into the air. Aura thrust two aura orbs from her palms at Xeneo’s eye. But in an unexpected twist, Xeneo’s head moved.
Xeneo shot around as Blur came flying in with his Spin Dash. Unfortunately, the demonic figure caught the blue hedgehog into his palm and threw him to the side. Wing made a dive to catch him. Rock and Aura jumped from the sides to make a second attempt towards the Eye. But as expected, Xeneo would always have a trick up his sleeve, or it this case, back. Two wings formed between the two covered him; Rock and Aura were thrown back. Xeneo held out its arms and summoned up a hoard of meteors. But instead of crashing down, they shot yellow lasers down on the heroes. Storm was running around hysterically with his tail feathers on fire.
“Wings, laser, fireballs.” Tsunami listed off. “This guy doesn’t know when to quit.”
“And do forget around the small heads moving.” Shine added.
With no way of getting near Xeneo with the lasers, Blur called back his group and jumped behind a mirror like wall. Xeneo tried to cut them off by spewing another fireball, but the heroes were already in safety before it hit the ground.
“Well, this is just great.” Rock said sarcastically. “We’re trapped under a mirror with an unstoppable monster ready to kill us.”
“Nothing is unstoppable.” Rector tried to reason. “We already know that his Eye is his weakness, we just have to figure out how to get to it.”
“That doesn’t seem likely.” Mach said hopelessly. “Even if we get past the fireballs, we still have to get past the lasers.”
“And even if we get past the lasers, we still have the wings.” Aura added.
“And if we get past the wings, it will just moves the heads.” Rapid added also.
“Look’s pretty hopeless to me.” Jet said sadly.
“No!” Blur exclaimed going into his Anti form. “We’ve come to far just to give up now. What about New Elemarious, and the whole universe?! Are we just going to let them rot while Xeneo takes over the universe?”
“Then what do you propose we do?” Dash questioned seriously.
“I have an idea.” Blur stated.
The group huddled together to listen to Blur’s plan.
“Why delay the inevitable any longer?” Xeneo said. “You cannot hope to defeat the kind of power that I know possess.”
“That’s where you wrong.” Blur said as he and his team emerged. “In fact, we’re just getting started.”
“Let’s end this forever.” Xeneo stated. “Who will win: the positive or the negative?”
Xeneo gave out another gulling roar before hurling another fireball from his mouth. Blur nodded to his teammates, who replied, as they initiated their plan. Sonic prayed that it would work. The sixty one heroes charged forward directly in the path of the fireball. Rev started by firing his water at his faces to prevent any fireballs. Next came the lasers. The meteors took their positions in front of Xeneo. But before they had a chance to fire, they were suddenly exploding one by one. Rock, Wing, Mach, Leon and Aura held back to handle the laser situation as the others went on ahead.
Everyone else went for the wings and held on tight. Xeneo, realizing the situation, tried to recall his wings. But they were stuck.
“Unhand me!” Xeneo ordered.
“Time for the big finale!” Blur shouted.
Blur jumped high over Xeneo’s head. As expected, the head tried to make a get away. But a set of hands was holding him down. The eye roved over and found Geisy pinning him in place as Blur landed in front of him.
“What is this?” Xeneo questioned.
Xeneo couldn’t believe what had happened. He had been outsmarted by a pint-sized blue rat. With his final breath, Xeneo watched as Blur summoned a once again evolved signature attack and the Chaos Hurricane crushed him down the middle. The head started to spilt open for a moment before it evaporated into the darkness with the others.
“I can’t believe that plan worked.” Rector said in disbelief. “And here I thought you were hopeless.”
“Hey, what’s that supposed to mean?” Blur shouted.
“Sarcasm.” Rector smirked. But he received a punch to the face from Blur.
-----------
“I congratulate you and your friends Blur, you have managed to beat almost anyone who gets in your way, but now it’s time for you to face Egghog Nega.” A hedgehog smiled.

The scene opens into the Blur Team base, inside the storage room. As you may already know, the room contains relics of the Blur Team’s past victories, which now holds the Trinity Emeralds. Chaos was peacefully meditating on top of the Master Emerald as usual. And Jac was staring at the Universe Emerald.
“I can’t help it, but…I always wonder what my dimension was like.”
Jac sighed heavily and left the room. He dragged himself to the table, where Geisy was serving lunch and Alexis was feeding the newly evolved Lucky. (He’s a neutral chaos chao now)
“Good boy, Lucky.” Alexis smiled. “You’ll grow big and strong soon.”
“Here you go, Jac.” Blair said, setting a plate in front of him. It was Amy who noticed Jac’s sad expression. “Hey, what’s wrong? Dimension wondering again?”
“How’d you know that?” Jac asked surprised.
“Who doesn’t know?” Alexis laughed.
“So what’s the matter?” Blair asked.
“I know this is my home world now.” Jac said sadly. “But I always wonder where I came from; I know I had friends…and a loved one, I don't want to be haunted never knowing who I once was.”
“Well, there might be one way.” Alexis said. Jac looked at her in anticipation. “There’s a flower that, rumor has it, can bring lost memories back. That how it got its name: Memory Lily.”
“How do you know this?” Jac questioned.
“Alexis knows a lot about plants.” Blair said. “Even more then a normal person.”
“But if this thing exists, why aren people still having amnesia?” Jac questioned.
“The Memory Lily blooms once every year.” Alexis explained. “If I’m right, its next blooming period should have started today.”
“Then that’s my mission.” Jac said seriously. “I’ll find that flower and bring my memory back.”
----------------------
The seen changes to a far-off island several miles west of South Island. The island was a paradise untouched by modern day technology. Though a paradise it was, there ruins scattered across the land and several marking made by beasts. In the center of the island stood a mountain. Jac, using Nexus Warp, landed safely at the foot of the mountain.
“Alexis said the flower would bloom at the highest point of the island.” Jac muttered to himself. The most obvious point would be the mountain. But when Jac stared up the mountain, he nearly toppled backwards. “Why are things never easy?”
So, somewhat unwilling, Jac forced himself to climb up the side of the mountain. But unknown to him, he was being closely watched.
“It seems we have some company.” A person said amusingly.
“What shall we do?” somebody asked.
“Just do your jobs to stall him long enough while I move the flower.”
“Yes, sir!”
Back with Jac, he diligently crawled up the mountain side with his mind set on his target. If he completed this mission, he could finally remember his past life. This set in his mind, Jac pushed himself harder. A few minutes later, Jac crawled up to a cliff. Panting, he looked up. He was still only half way up the mountain, but he was making excellent progress.
“I guess those rock climbing contests with Rock are finally starting to pay off.” Jac chuckled. “Only a few more and I’m there.”
Jac reached to grab the mountainside when a sudden black blur darted toward him. Seeing this, Jac back flipped away, nearly falling off the cliffside. After maintaining his stability, he looked back and found three soldiers in his path.
“We’re here on a mission.” A soldier said. “We must stop you from reaching the Memory Lily at all cost.”
The three soldiers swarmed around Jac from all sides, making it impossible for him to make an escape. With three soldiers in front and a fifty foot drop in back, things didn’t suit too well for our hero. Simultaneously, the soldiers raised their claws and drove them into the ground. The force of the impact shattered the cliffside away, taking Jac along with it. The three soldiers looked down the broken cliff they created, looking for any sign of Jac’s survival. There was none.
“See anything?”
“Nothing. Looks like he’s finished.”
“You know, I wouldn’t have expected it to be that easy.”
“That’s because it isn’t.” Jac said.
The trio turned on their heel surprisingly. Jac was dangling from the mountainside, clutching the purple trinity emerald in his claw.
“Miss me?” Jac said amusingly.
“Kill him!”
Unfortunately for them, Jac now had the advantage. Having the higher ground, Jac could target the soldiers and thrash them back with his extended arms. One of the soldiers tried to do the same thing, but met with an unfortunate result. With no way to reach Jac, the trio of soldiers tried to throw anything they could to knock him down.
“Get down here and take it like a man!”
“But I’m not a man.” Jac stated.
“You know what we mean!”
“You know, I’m getting bored.” Jac stated. “Why don’t we end this quickly.”
Jac released himself from his position and dropped down to the cliff below. While in midair, he curled himself into a ball and started spinning in circles. Once he was close to the ground, he released himself with his foot held out. His heel made contact with the ground and created an impact that Rector would be proud of. The remaining fragments of the cliffside broke off; Jac stretched his arm with Nexus Stretch to grab the mountain. He watched, disappointedly, as the trio of soldiers tried to mimic him, seconds before hey were crushed under the weight of the rock fragments.
“I must admit, even I feel sorry for them.” Jac shrugged.
Jac returned to his mission; the sky was starting to get dark. His time was nearly up. Realizing this, Jac quickened his pace. In a matter of moments, Jac heaved himself over the last rock and found himself at the top. The scenery was unexpected as Jac found himself in the ruins of an ancient temple. Jac wandered inside the temple, checking every corridor in search of the fabled flower. His search had been unsuccessful until he reached the center of the temple. He had walked into a circular chamber; the roof torn off, revealing the starry sky. Under the moonlight, Jac spotted a pink lily growing through the cracks in the floor: the Memory Lily!
“Finally, I found it.” Jac gasped, racing over to pick the lily.
In an unexpected appearance, another soldier who was the general dropped down from the sky and twirled around to kick the lily from his hand. The glistening flower was tossed over to the floor near the wall.
“Pleasant to see you again, Jac.” The General said.
“Wish I could say the same. If I actually knew you.” Jac growled. “Look, I’m already ticked enough from those soldiers you sent after me. Why don’t you make it easy on both of us and get out of my way.”
“No can do.” The General said amusingly. “I have specific orders to stop anyone from getting that flower.”
Jac swung around and launched his claw directly at the general’s back. Even without looking, The General had already seen his attack. He gracefully jumped over his hand and back flipped in midair.
“Not bad.” The General commented. “You certainly are more aware than before.”
“?” Jac thought.
Jac shoved the general’s back, retracting his arm, and swung around for a low kick. The General tripped backward, but flipped back on his hands just before Jac stamped his foot down. The General flipped into the air, tossing his the floor plates at Jac in the process. Jac tumbled across the floor, smashing down the wall he collided with. He groaned, throwing the weight of the broken wall off his back. Once he senses were regained, he noticed something in front of him: the Memory Lily. He grabbed the lily, seconds before The General grabbed his ankle.
“Not so fast!” The General roared.
The General tossed Jac up into the air, forcing him to let go of the lily in mid flight. Jac was thrown against another wall, toppling it. As Jac dug himself out, The General picked the hovering lily out of the air.
“G-give that back.” Jac said weakly. “I need it.”
“I don’t get it.” The General said intriguingly. “Why would you go so far for such a little thing?”
“Myself...” Jac said weakly. “I need it to bring my memory back.”
“But why? You don’t look like you need it.” The General asked.
“I’ve lost the memory of my dimension.” Jac stated. “I’ve just been trying to give myself; a second chance.”
The General remained silent from that point, staring down at the ghostly flower in his hand.
“You want to know about your family and other friends?” The General asked heavily.
“More then you could ever know.” Jac replied.
“Then, I shall grant you this.” The General said, holding out the Memory Lily.
“But, why?” Jac asked in shock.
“I think we both know who deserves this.” The General said. “Besides” The general said pulling his mask off showing he was a fox, but not any old fox, Kazuki Fujiwara. “You’re my friend after all.”
“You are? But what about you orders?” Jac asked.
“I tried and failed.” Kazuki answered simply. “Take it, Jac.”
Jac looked at Kazuki as he walked away disappearing into the night.

It was another calm and normal day at the Blur Team base. Aw, who am I kidding? Once again, Alexis was bugging Wing to take her on a date and Wing was turning her down.
“Come on, Wing. Just one date.” Alexis pleaded, giving him the puppy dog eyes.
“Why can all girls do that?” Wing questioned, feeling himself giving in. “The answer is still no.”
“But why?” Alexis whined.
“Because we have to be alert.” Wing stated. “We never know when there’s going to attack.
---------------------------------------------------
At the Nega-Carrier, Metal (Don’t ask why he’s alive, I don’t wanna spoil anything) was reading a book called ‘So you’re a robot and you’re working for an idiot’. He was reading the chapter that suggested taking therapy until he heard a sickening sound coming from the room next to him. Mecha then ran out of the room and quickly slammed the door behind him.
“What was that?” Metal asked.
“Apparently the ‘genius’ ate some bad fish and got a stomach virus.” Mecha said. “Now we can’t do any missions.”
“What about Atoma?” Metal asked
“Computer virus.” “Mecha responded.
“Bukon?” Metal asked.
“He is a virus.” Mecha stated. A sudden rimshot came from nowhere. “Where the hell did that come from?”
-------------------------------
“Ok, that was a bad example.” Wing said.
“Hah! Now you don’t have an excuse!” Alexis smiled wickedly.
“Yes I do.” Wing said. “I need to help Rock train.”
“Rock is on a date with Jasmine.” Alexis smirked.
“Darn.” Wing cursed. “What about Dash?”
“On a date with Aura.” Alexis responded.
“Jet? Blur? Tsunami? Ashura? Leon? Lightrion? Mach? Rev? Tech? Hammer? Storm? Multis?” Wing asked desperately.
“Date with Wave, At a jujitsu training school with Geisy for the next week, Taking care of Blue, Asleep, On a date with Emily, Cleaning the pipes, On a date with Kumori, He's blind, He's impatient, On angel island, At a restraunt, Working on his child.” Alexis said in order.
“What about...Wha!” Wing exclaimed at the last one.
“It's complicated.” Alexis stated.
Wing groaned at his predicament. Practically everyone was out doing something and Wing was caught. But lucky, a savior entered into the room. Flash walked into the living room while trying to wipe off the slime on his face. Delight also followed him.
“Are you ok, Flash?” Delight asked softly.
“Yeah. I just need to wipe this off my face.” Flash said.
“Perfect timing.” Wing whispered. Wing shot away from Alexis and rested his arm on Flash’s shoulder. “Sorry, but I can’t go. I’m busy with Flash here wiping the slime off his face.”
“Perfect! Then we can all go on a double date!” Alexis cheered.
“Say what?!” Wing questioned.
“Yeah. Me and Wing could go on our date and Flash and Delight could join us.” Alexis smirked. The boys tried to object, but Alexis beat them to the punch. “Great! We’ll meet at Twinkle Park in 20 minutes!”
Alexis walked past the boys and smiled proudly at herself. Wing and Flash remained in the same spot, mouths in gape, trying to contemplate the situation. Trust me, it’s that confusing.
“What just happened?” Flash asked.
“I was out smarted by my girlfriend.” Wing said.
Flash and Wing hung their heads and dragged their feet away. Meanwhile, Delight looked down, closed her eyes, and held her hands to her heart. Her heart was beating over a hundred miles per hour at the thought of the upcoming date.
“A date...with Flash.” Delight thought. “This...could be my chance. Today, I will tell Flash my feelings.”
“What am I doing here?” Wing asked himself.
Wing, Flash, Alexis, and Delight were walking through the vast amusement park to begin their date, much to Wing’s displeasure. Flash surprisingly enjoyed the day with Delight, but Alexis was dragging Wing everywhere. Now he knows how Sonic feels. They went on the roller coasters and played at the booths while Wing was brooding in a corner somewhere.
“Wing, stop acting like a baby.” Alexis said. “See, Flash is enjoying it.”
“He’s young; he’s supposed to enjoy it.” Wing replied. “I could be preparing myself for an attack, but instead I’m stuck with two children and insane woman.”
“What was that?!” Lucky growled.
“Nothing.” Wing said quickly while he and Alexis stared at Lucky. (They didn’t expect that coming)
But it was too late. Lucky reeled back his fist and punched Wing’s lights out. Meanwhile, Flash was testing his luck at the ring toss. Unknown to him, Delight was watching Flash from a distance. Her heart was about ready to jump out of her chest. This was the perfect opportunity to tell him.
“I need to tell him.” Delight thought. Delight moved away from her hiding spot and walked up to Flash. As she came closer, she was starting to have second thoughts. But she made it this far, she should go for it. “Uh...Flash.”
Flash turned to face Delight. But as Delight’s luck would have it, a rock and tripped her. Delight fell...Straight into Flash arms.
“You ok, Delight?” Flash asked.
Delight’s face turned a deep shade of red. Here she was, in the arms of her crush, and was making a complete fool of herself. Delight looked up and saw how close their faces were to each other. Delight squeaked and jumped out of Flash arms and ran off in a random direction, leaving a confused kid.
“Did I forget to shower again?” Flash questioned sniffing himself.
On the other side the park, Ashurion (The fusion of the heartless and nobody Ashura and Lightrion had protected) was disguised as a lemonade vendor and poured a love potion into one of the cups. Just then, Wing walked up to the stand, holding his left eye in his hand.
“Crazy woman.” Wing muttered.
“You sound troubled.” Ashurion said. Ashurion handed Wing the cup with the love potion. “Here. It’s on the house.”
“Thanks.” Wing said.
Wing took the cup without realizing the danger. Ashurion was chuckling sinisterly as Wing tipped his head to consume the drink. The potion was almost to his mouth, but fate had other plans. Delight accidentally ran into Wing and caused him to spill the potion. Ashurion gasped in horror as his potion splashed everywhere. But one particular drop flew into the air and landed into Delight’s mouth.
“Delight, are you ok?” Flash asked why helping her up.
“Yeah. I’m just...” Delight trailed off when she stared into Flash’s green eyes. Delight’s earlier shyness had disappeared.
“This juice is brown. YUCK!” Wing complained.
“You can complain later.” Alexis said as she grabbed Wing’s wrist. “Right now, we have a date to finish. How about The Tunnel of Love next?”
Alexis pulled the purple hedgehog by his arm and dragged him away from the other couple. Wing looked back desperately and gave a look that said ‘help me’. Flash giggled at Wing’s expression.
“I wouldn’t want to be Wing right now.” Flash laughed.
“You know, The Tunnel of Love sounds like a perfect place to visit.” Delight whispered.
“Huh?” Flash nervously.
“What’s going on with Delight?” Flash thought.
“Let’s not wait around! Let’s go!” Delight cheered.
Delight grabbed Flash by the arm and started to drag him away. All the while, Ashurion was staring with wide eyes at the events that played out.
“Okay, now it’s time to use force. NO let’s crush them.” He argued with himself before leaving. (I guess that’s what they mean by split personality, pun intended)
“Flash, stopping being a baby. It’s perfectly fine.” Delight said.
“No way!” Flash exclaimed. “There’s no way I’m letting go.
After hearing Delights plan to ride Tunnel of Love, Flash panicked and used his feet to cling to a lamp post. Delight was tugging Flash by his ears to try and pry him off. People were staring at them crazily. No matter how hard Delight tried, Flash wouldn’t let go. Finally, something sliced the post off and Flash was thrown over Delight’s head and into a wall.
“Why me?” Flash whined into the wall.
“Flash, are you ok?” Delight asked in concern.
“I could ask you the same thing.” Delight turned around to face Ashurion. “Be afraid. Be very afraid.”
“Of a lemonade vendor?” Delight asked. Ashurion looked down to see that he was wearing his disguise. Ashurion grabbed his disguise and tore it to shreds to reveal his true self. “Of the heartless Ashura protected. NO of the nobody Lightrion protected. NO the both of us combined!” Ashurion said. “Now time to punish you.”
Delight stepped back as Ashurion advanced towards her. Delight stopped when she was forced back into a wall. Ashurion placed talons on his wrist before raising them above his head. Ashurion was ready to swing until he felt himself suddenly stop. Ashurion looked down to his feet and saw his shoes melted.
“Come on!” Flash exclaimed. Flash grabbed Delight’s wrist and ran for it. “Why is he after you?”
“I don’t know!” Delight yelled.
“Oh, I really wish Wing was here!” Flash cried.
Ashurion struggled to move, but was failing. Ashurion removed his shoes in order to move. Ashurion turned his head to the retreating children. In a flash of blinding speed, Ashurion reappeared behind Flash and jabbed his knee into the back of his head. Delight gasped while Ashurion ran ahead of the flying hedgehog. Ashurion appeared in front of Flash and slammed his elbow into his chest to plow him into the ground.
“Now it’s time to die.” Ashurion said in a low voice. He attempted to stab Flash until he felt a foot connecting to his face. Ashurion was thrown back and looked mad. “All right, who did that?” Ashurion stood up to see only Delight, who was shaking and holding her head down. “You! You’re going to pay for that, you rat! I don’t know why you 2 are alive, fused, and evil; but I’m gonna kill you” Delight looked up and stared at Ashurion with flames of rage in her eyes. Ashurion was scared.
“You hurt my Flash!” Delight yelled in a higher pitch than usual. “You’ll pay for that!”
Ashurion stepped back in fear. Delight suddenly jumped forward and kicked Ashurion hard in the face. Ashurion tumbled back a few feet and landed on his face. Before he could get up, Delight stomped on his head and plowed him into the ground. Ashurion pulled himself out of the ground. Ashurion stumbled back and feared for his life.
“Uh, you know I think I left the oven on!” Ashurion screamed and started to run.
“I did it!” Delight cheered.
“Wow, Delight, you were amazing.” Flash said in awe.
“Thank you.” Delight giggled and blushed.
Just when they thought it was over, Ashurion appeared in a puff of black smoke.
“Oh no!” Flash exclaimed and jumped in front of Delight.
“I’ll kill you later.” Ashurion said. “I’m already mad that I failed to successfully administer the love potion.”
“Love potion?” Flash asked. “What are you talking about?”
“The love potion that the girl drank.” Ashurion pointed to Delight.
“Wait. So that’s why she’s acting like this?” Flash asked.
“No. It doesn’t affect her.” Ashurion said.
“Huh?” Flash questioned.
“The potion does not affect those who are already in love.” Ashurion explained.
“What does that mean?” Flash stuttered. But before he could he could get his answer, Ashurion disappeared in a puff of smoke. “Wait! You didn’t answer my question!”
“I think I can answer it, Flash.” Delight said.
“What do you mean?” Flash asked as he turned to Delight.
“He said it doesn’t affect me is because it doesn’t work on those already in love, right?” Delight asked. Flash nodded. “There’s something I have been meaning to tell you for a long time.”
“What is it, Delight?” Flash asked.
“I...I lo...” Delight stuttered. “I lo...I lov...I love you, Flash!”
The truth was finally out. Delight had finally admitted her feelings towards Flash. Flash stared at Delight with his mouth hanging wide open. Delight felt good knowing she had finally expressed her emotions. Just then, Wing and Alexis came back from wherever they were. Wing looked funny because he had melted kissing marks all over his face.
“What happened to you?” Delight asked Wing.
“Don’t ask.” Wing said with a dark aura. “I’ve suffered enough as it is.”
“Did anything happen while we were gone?” Alexis asked.
“Nope!” Flash and Delight said.

It was night time at the base of the Blur Team. Everyone was in bed except Blur, dreaming their usual dreams.
“Blur...” the voice said softly.
“Hm...Mach, was that you?” the only reply he received was Mach’s sleep talking. “Guess that answers my question. Well, if it wasn’t Mach, who was it?”
“That would be me.”
“I know that voice.” Blur said and he looked at the world rings on his bedside table. “Shahra?”
“I’ve been trying to reach you all night.” Shahra said.
“Couldn’t it wait until the morning? And I thought you were dead” Blur asked.
“No time! King Shahryar needs to see you right away!” Shahra exclaimed.
“Why? What’s the problem?” Blur questioned.
“You’ll see once you get there. Now hurry!” Shahra screeched.
“All right already.” Blur groaned as he made his way out of the room.
Blur made his way to the workshop where Wing, Wave, and Tech were usually tinkering. Blur walked past the Super Hurricane and stopped in front of the entrance of the storage room. Blur placed his hand on the scanner to access the storage room where they keep all their valuable items. Blur walked over to the podium that held his own book and opened it to the chapter of Sand Oasis, where the king resides. Blur would willing go, but there was a problem.
“How am I supposed to get in?” Blur asked. Just then, a hand reached out of the book and grabbed Blur by the ear. “This will hurt.”
The hand forcefully pulled Blur into the pages and disappeared as the book closed all on its own.
----------------------------------
The scene takes place in the tall white place that lay in the vast desert of Sand Oasis. Blur fell from the ceiling of the palace and landed on the cold stone floor on his head.
Blur looked over his shoulder to see King Shahryar at his throne with Shahra, Ali Baba, and Sinbad at his side. “Welcome back.
“Back at ya.” Blur said nasally while fixing his nose. “What do you want this time?”
King Shahryar’s expression seemed stern and serious. Not the kind you would usually see on Sonic’s face. King Shahryar stepped up from his throne and walked down the long hall with the others by his side. Upon passing Blur, King Shahryar said.
“Follow me.” Blur willingly followed as they made their way to the palace doors. “Do you remember when you defeated Solaris and restored the Arabian Nights?”
“Remember? How could I forget?” Blur asked.
“When you returned the Arabian Nights to its original state the book was incomplete.” Sinbad said as the group walked outside.
“Say what?!” Blur exclaimed.
“The original state of the Arabian Nights was incomplete because more stories were being made.” Shahryar explained. “But just yesterday, the last page was filled. And that’s where the trouble begins.”
“What do you mean?” Blur asked.
“When the book was incomplete, King Shahryar could easily keep stability amongst the Arabian Nights.” Shahra explained. “But now that the book is full, it has become too much for the king to handle."
“What am I supposed to do?”
“In order for King Shahryar to maintain stability, he must have a...” Shahra trailed off.
“A what?” Blur asked, but no one answered. “Come on. Tell me.”
“A queen.” Shahryar said. “To maintain stability, I must acquire a queen.”
“Whoa, that’s a big step, fella.” Blur joked. “So, you drag me here all the way just to get you hitched. Come on, you're the king. I’m sure you could have any woman you want.”
“It’s true, but I desire a queen who is kind and pure of heart.” Shahryar said. “Blur, my friend, it is up to you to find someone who is fit to stay by my side for a reason other then wanting my fame and fortune."
“You can count on me.” Blur said as he turned to Shahra. “Shahra, I wish we were at the most populated page in the book.”
“Your wish is my command, o master.” Shahra said.
And with a flick of her wrist, Blur, Sinbad, and Ali Baba were transported to another location. The group soon found themselves in a large desert city similar to that of Sand Oasis, only drier.
“Where are we?” Blur asked.
“If I remember correctly, this is the former sight of Erazor Djinn’s castle.” Shahra said. “It was reconstructed when Solaris was defeated.”
“Funny. When I imagined coming back here, I thought it would be a lot creepier.” Blur said.
“We must find a queen for the King and soon.” Ali Baba stated. “Or else the book will start to unravel.”
The four traversed through the street market I hopes of finding someone fit enough to be Shahryar’s queen. Blur had suggested many women, but nearly all of them only wanted to steal his money. And others he picked would only agree if it meant ruling the Arabian Nights. Ali Baba kept a sharp look out for anyone who might be fit for Shahryar and spotted someone down the street. The woman looked like Katie, but wore baggy white pants and a simple white top. The woman was known as a thief, but only did it for those in need. Ali Baba and the others approached her just as she was stealing a diamond necklace.
“A bit much, don’t you think?” Ali Baba said, startling the thief.
“Whoa, you startled me for a moment.” The thief said. “Well, I wasn’t really going to steal it. I was...uh.”
The thief was trying to come up with an excuse, but couldn’t think of one. Strangely enough, Sinbad somehow seemed to recognize her.
“Marina?” Sinbad asked.
“Sinbad?” Marina replied.
“You know her?” Blur asked.
“Of course. He and I were partners sailing the high seas until the Rukh came and took him.” Marina explained.
“So, is she suited for the king?” Shahra asked.
“Yes, she is.” Sinbad said. “Except for one thing.” Sinbad held his and her hand out to reveal two golden rings on each of them.
“I knew that was going to happen, in my world they look like my girlfriend's parents.” Blur said.
“We were married when we returned to Basra.” Marina explained. “Which reminds me, we never finished our honeymoon.”
“You guys go on ahead. I have some unfinished business to take care of.” Sinbad said.
Sinbad grabbed Marina by her arm and dragged her off down the street, leaving the others in their dust.
“He’s not coming back, is he?” Shahra asked.
“I wouldn’t if I hadn't finished my honey moon.” Blur said.
The group, now down to three, once again set out to find a suitable queen. While, Ali Baba and Shahra wanted to venture on, Blur noticed another girl near the market’s fountain. The girl looked like Blaze, only she wore red Arabian clothing. Blur tugged at Ali Baba’s cloak and asked.
“Who is that?”
“That’s Jasmine, the princess from the story, Aladdin and the Magic Lamp.” Ali Baba answered.
“Is she a good person?”
She is one of the purest in the whole book.” Ali Baba informed.
“Perfect.” Blur said as he raced towards the princess.
“Wait!” Ali Baba called out. “You should know that...”
But Blur wasn’t listening. All he could think about was finding a queen and getting back home to sleep. As the princess relaxed near the cool, gentle waters, Blur skidded out of nowhere and stopped in front of her.
“Can I help you?” The princess asked.
“Yeah. I supposed to be looking for someone to become the king’s queen.” Blur explained shortly.
“I would be happy to help.” The princess said. “But there is a problem.” Blur looked at her with a confused look. “It’s my fiancé, Aladdin.”
“Who is this, Aladdin?” Blur questioned. A moment later, someone tapped on Blur’s shoulder. Blur looked over to see Silver, only wearing a crimson vest and black sash. Blur could only guess that this was Aladdin. “I’m leaving.” Blur said running away
“Is there anyone in this book that isn’t married or have someone that could kill me?” Blur asked.
“Well...there is one person.” Ali Baba said.
“Who?!” Shahra and Blur exclaimed, startling Ali Baba.
“Her name is Scheherazadea (This is the actual name), a famous story teller.” Ali Baba stated.
“I remember her.” Shahra said. “She and the king were supposed to be married since the creation of the Arabian Nights. But When Solaris attacked, she was lost forever.”
“She was not lost. She was merely hiding.” Ali Baba stated.
“Do you know where she is?”
“She is...” Ali Baba was interrupted when a violent storm erupted from out of nowhere. The storm created a funnel that crashed down to the ground. The funnel disappeared and revealed none other than Ashurion.
“Hello there.” Ashurion said calmly.
“What are you doing here?” Shahra questioned.
“I could sense that the king’s power was growing weaker.” Ashurion stated. “I thought that with this opportunity, I take over the Arabian Nights, I’ll even let you be my queen, Shahra.”
“Never!” Shahra spat.
“Very well. Have it your way.” Ashurion said as he whipped out his razor blade.
“You’ll have to get past me first.” Blur said as he went into his Anti form.
“With pleasure.”
Ashurion and Blur charged towards eachother and dived at one another. In a strange turn of events, Ashurion returned his blade and fell slightly backwards. When Blur was in range, Ashurion swung his leg upward to kick Blur into the air. Ashurion followed and whipped his razor blade to take numorous swipes at Blur’s body. Ashurion purposely missed all in order to prolong his suffering. After having his little fun, Ashurion held out his hand and conjured a ball of fire. Ashurion threw the ball, along with Blur, into one of the merchant store and burned it down.
“Blur!” Shahra cried.
“I would not worry about him.” Ashurion smirked. “In a matter of moments, he will be dead.” Ashurion disappeared and then reappeared in front of Ali Baba. Ashurion grabbed Ali Baba by the neck and forced his mask off. Once the mask was gone, Ali Baba turned out to be Amy, only her hair was messier and more wild. “You really thought you could hide from me, Scheherazadea.”
“Scheherazadea?” Shahra repeated. “So the true queen has been in front of us the entire time?”
“You won’t win, Ashurion.” Scheherazadea stated. “I no longer fear you. Once Shahryar and I are reunited, you will beg for mercy.”
“That is where you are wrong.” Ashurion smirked. Ashurion whipped out his razor and held it to Scheherazadea’s neck. “Now to end this.”
Ashurion held back his blade and swung it across the hedgehog girl’s neck. But just a split second before the blade hit, time suddenly stopped and Scheherazadea had disappeared. Ashurion turned completely around to find Blur standing protectivly in front of Scheherazadea.
“So you’re the queen?” Blur asked. Scheherazadea nodded. “And you couldn’t have told us that sooner?”
“You just don’t know when to die.” Ashurion said.
“Well, I couldn’t just keel over.” Blur smirked.
Blur crouched down with his arms crossed and purple bands behind his back. At that moment he threw his arm forwards and his bands stretched out and caught Ashurion allowing Blur to repeatively kick him until he collapsed.
“What...did you...do?” Ashurion gasped.
“I learned that after my week at Jujitsu school.” Blur smirked.
“This...isn’t...over.” Ashurion said.
Ashurion, knowing he was defeated, evaporated into a puff of black smoke. Shahra and Scheherazadea gathered around Blur as they watched Ashurion disappear from the book. Later, Blur and Shahra returned to Sharyar’s palace. Blur kneeled before the king, bearing news of their adventure.
“So Ashurion returned?” Shahryar asked. They nodded. “And you defeated him?” they nodded again. “And after all this, you still fail to find me a queen.”
“Now, I wouldn’t say that.” Blur smiled.
Blur and the others turned to one of the palace columns and watched as Scheherazadea made her presence know. Blur smirked at shahryar’s shocked expression. Shahryar slowly descended from his throne before running to embrace his queen.
“Scheherazadea, I can’t believe it’s you.” Shahryar said with joy.
“I was afraid of Solaris’ power, so I hid.” Scheherazadea explained as she broke the embrace. “But now I no longer have a reason to fear. Now that I know that heroes like Blur will always be there to save us.”
“So, does that mean that you will become my queen once again?” Shahryar asked hopefully.
“I promise nothing will separate us again.” Scheherazadea said.
The two embraced once more, this time with nothing to stop them.
“So, that’s it?” Blur asked.
“Yes. Now that the King and queen are together, the Arabian Nights is safe." Shahra said. “Now, I believe it is time for you to return home. Thank you for saving us...again, Blur.”
“Anytime.” Blur shrugged.
And with a wave of Shahra’s hands, Blur evaporated and disappeared from the confines of the book pages.

The scene opens up with Mach in the workshop. He set up his tools to work when Jet suddenly came in.
“Hey, Mach, how’s the car coming?” Jet asked.
The emerald bird moved closer to inspect the car when Mach suddenly smacked him upside the head.
“Don’t – touch – the car!” Mach seethed.
“What’s up with you?” Jet asked rudely. “I only wanted to see it.”
“Whenever you get near my car, something bad always almost happens to it.” Mach stated.
“Name one time.” Jet challenged.
“The Ark of the Cosmos incident.” Mach began. “My car was suspended for three months. Last week, I was waiting for the engine...”
“I said one time!” Jet cut in. “Chill out.”
Jet leaned up against the car door. The next thing he knew, the door fell sideways. The scene alters to the hallway outside the workshop. Rock, Jasmine, Wave, and Geisy were talking.
“It’s unusually quiet around here.” Jasmine stated.
“Eh, probably not for long.” Wave said. “If my calculations are correct, things should be kicking off in three...two...one.”
“YOU’RE DEAD!” Mach roared.
There was a loud scramble of noise coming from the room next to them. A moment later, Jet ran out of the room.
“What’s up?” Blur asked casually.
“Mach...car.” Jet wheezed.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what he meant. Mach emerged from the workshop. He was surrounded in a thick layer of red chaos with his eyes blank. With a scream of panic, Jet, along with the other heroes, burst down the hallway. Mach chased them all around the base, not caring that Blur or the others were not involved. They flung in and out of random doors, through the thick forest outside, even ran across the ceiling. Wing was unfortunate to be stampeded by the herd. The chase lasted until they reached the storage room near the hanger.
“Quick!” Blur shouted. “Into the book!”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The six were flung into the Arabian Nights were they all landed in a massive pile up. With much difficulty, they separated from each other.
They turned on the spot where they found Shahra the Ring Genie floating closer to them, followed by King Shahryar and Queen Scheherazade. The queen had seriously changed dramatically since she was Ali Baba. She now wore a ceremonial white gown with a golden floral crown around her head. Upon seeing the royal duo, the heroes realized they were in King Shahryar’s palace.
“It’s about time you showed up.” Shahra huffed at Blur.
“Calm down, Shahra.” The King said.
“How can you say that, your highness?!” Shahra asked hysterically.
“What’s going on?” Jasmine asked.
“Oh, it’s nothing.” The Queen shrugged. “Ashurion’s just trying to take over the kingdom.”
“Again?” Blur asked.
“Again.” The king nodded.
“Funny, you should ask that?” Called a familiar voice.
The voices tone carried a chilling scent in the air. Blur looked up and, sure enough, saw a black huff slipping into the room. The small huff expanded into a cloud of smoke as it shot down at the group. The heroes and the Arabians jumped back from where the smoke landed between them. Jet was luck to trip backward as a razor blade nearly clipped his beak. When the smoke cleared, Ashurion stood with his signature razor unsheathed.
“Greetings, pathetic insects.” Ashurion said simply.
“How kind of you to join us, Ashurion.” The King smirked.
“Why wouldn't I join you?” Ashurion returned. “Not when I am trying to gain the kingdom.” He turned to Shahra “And maybe afterwards, you could join me at my side, Shahra.” Shahra stuck her tounge at him. "How discreet."
“Better leave before things get serious." Rock said, bashing his fist.
“Then come if you dare.” Ashurion challenged.
Ashurion unsheathed his razor blade as Rock charged headlong into an attack. Ashurion swiped across his head, but Rock slid under it with his head back. Unknown to the djinn, Jasmine was in the air above him. She held out her heel and started spinning in place for her signature attack.
“SCREW KICK!” Jasmine shouted.
Unfortunate enough, Ashurion had turned on the spot from Jasmine’s yell. At the same time, Rock was charging for a second strike. To counteract them both, Ashurion grabbed the Jasmine by her leg and tossed her into Rock’s path. Ashurion could only smirk when he realized he had other problems. Both Geisy and Wave ran at him. Ashurion blocked them with his blade. He could tell they were much stronger than they looked. The initial contact forced Ashurion to his knees. Realizing his position, Ashurion summoned a ball of fire in his hand and plunged it into the ground. A moment later, the floor erupted beneath Geisy and Wave, throwing them across the room.
“Any other foolish enough to challenge me.” Ashurion asked.
“Hey, we haven’t had our fun yet.” Blur said.
Before he could realize what happened, Ashurion found Blur’s foot lodged in his gut. The speedy hedgehog jumped away before Ashurion could grab him. Jet ran up after him and kick flipped Ashurion in the chin. Ashurion staggered back, holding his chin, before he saw Blur and Jet charging at him. Both jumped and kicked the evil to the ground.
“You filthy rodents.” Ashurion grunted, staggering to his feet.
“Give it up!” Jet commanded. The others joined at his side. “There’s no way you can beat our team. We know each other like the back of our hands.”
“Is that so?” Ashurion said; his grin growing more menacing. “Well then, what do you say we put it to the test?”
The mighty clapped his hands together, gathering a large amount of dark magic. He began chanting and the light in the room suddenly started to fade. The only source of light was the rainbow colored ball formed in Ashurion’s hands. With a mighty howl, Ashurion hurled the orb at the heroes. The orb made contact with everyone and everything went black.
“Do you think they’re all right?” The Queen’s voice asked.
“I am uncertain.” The King’s voice replied. “Perhaps we should wait until they’re awake.”
“Maybe I could prod Jet awake.” Shahra suggested hopefully.
“Shahra, no!” The King said sternly.
What’s going on was the first thing that entered Jet’s mind. He didn’t feel any prodding, so he guessed Shahra listened. He groaned as he sat up and opened his eyes. What he first saw was all his friends lying in beds lined up against the wall. It was The King who noticed Jet first waking up.
“How are you feeling, Wave?” The King asked.
“I’m just fine, I...” Jet said momentarily. When “Why did you call me Wave?”
“Because that’s your name.” The King said confused.
“No, I’m Jet!” Jet exclaimed.
“Uh...this is awkward.” The King said.
“What?” Jet asked. “What’s going on?”
The King didn’t answer, but instead grabbed him by the arm and dragged him out of bed. He noticed he was taller than usual. And when where his feathers purple? They were supposed to be gold since the battle with Pyrus. The King stopped and pushed Jet in front of a full body mirror. Only his reflection showed Wave instead of himself. He scratched his head and Wave did the same. Then it hit him: he was Wave. Knowing this, he started screaming. The scream was enough to wake the whole team. It wasn’t long before everyone figured out their predicament. Rock and Jasmine, Jet and Wave, Blur and Geisy all switched bodies.
“Get out of my body!” Jasmine screamed at Rock.
“You think I like this?!” Rock roared back.
Blur and Geisy didn't seem to have a problem as they just sat there.
"And why are you not panicking?" Rock asked.
"Cause I always think Geisy's becoming a female me." Blur said.
'I am?' Geisy thought.
“What happened while we were out?” Wave asked.
“When Ashurion’s spell hit you, I conjured enough magic to push him out of the palace.” Shahra explained. “We brought you here and tried to examine you for any magical changes. But from the looks of it, I wasn’t thorough enough.”
“Ya think!” Rock exclaimed.
“There must be someway to reverse the process.” Wave said thoughtfully. “If you could direct me to the library, I will start looking for a way to change us back.” Nobody moved, but eyed Wave awkwardly. “What?”
“It’s just weird.” Blur said. “Jet and books don’t really go together.”
“Yeah, I – HEY!” Jet snapped.
After an awkward confrontation and understanding, everyone scattered in their own directions. The Queen directed Wave to the library; she still received strange looks. She spent over two hour taking down ancient dusty scrolls; some of them actually tried to bite when you picked them up. Wave was looking up an old journal created by Ashurion when Jet walked in. At that moment, Wave wanted to scream. Her body was covered from head to toe in food scrapes, while Jet was eating a bucket of chicken wings.
“What have you done to me?!” Wave cried hysterically.
“I was so hungry.” Jet said tiredly; he chewed on another wing. “Honestly, Wave, don’t you ever eat?”
“Get that out of your mouth!” Wave shouted with authority.
“No!” Jet whined.
Wave grabbed the wing and tried to tug it away, but Jet pulled back. Wave’s body was the tallest and oldest, but Jet’s was clearly more fit and durable. Back and forth, they tugged at the small wing until they both let go. The wing hit against one of the shelves, knocking it over with the contents. That shelf knocked another and another until the entire library looked like a stampede came through. The contents of the shelves piled over Jet and Wave.
“I’m not cleaning that up.” Jet said; Wave groaned.
Rock and Jasmine seemed to be having the hardest getting along with their new bodies. Jasmine, whom was not used to using Rock kind of strength, was dragging Rock’s arms across the ground everywhere she went. Rock was not fending any better. He had no idea how use Jasmine’s jet pack, so he couldn’t rely on flying anywhere and he wasn't used to the weight.
“Stop dragging my hands like that.” Rock grunted. “Show some pride.”
“I’m not a stupid boy!” Jasmine replied. “And stopped leaning over.”
“It not my fault you weigh more.” Rock stated.
“How dare you!” Jasmine screamed.
Using whatever strength she had her arms, Jasmine slapped Rock across the face, feeling a bit awkward hitting herself. In retaliation, Rock slapped Jasmine across the face. Quick enough, both anthros were locked in the usual squabble. Jet and Wave didn’t bother looking as they passed by, but Shahra felt a bit concerned.
“Shouldn’t we stop them?” Shahra asked.
“Nah, they’ll get over it eventually.” Wave shrugged. “Jet, get that cake out of my beak!”
"I'm getting Gold!" Geisy said holding a video camera.
Over and hour later, things were finally staring to calm down. The King had ordered Shahra to go to the medical wing and to call everyone to lunch. Shahra returned momentarily with the group groaning behind. Rock and Jasmine had the same number of injuries as they usually did. Jet spent most of the afternoon laughing at them. Shahra kindly asked the heroes to sit down around a cleanly polished wooden table filled with an abundant amount of succulent treats. But before they could fill their bellies, Wave charged in.
“I’ve been doing my research.” Wave stated; she still received strange looks. “After long study I have come to one conclusion: We’re stuck.
The others facefaulted.
“Calm down.” Wave said. “Look, we may be able to use Shahra’s "magic" if we figure out what kind of spell Ashurion used.”
“But I had never even seen that spell before.” Shahra stated.
“Then we should get Ashurion to tell us.” Rock said. “The sooner I lose this jetpack weight, the better.”
Jasmine looked ready to kill, but Geisy cut in before she could move.
“But we don’t even know where to find him.” Geisy said. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, a thunderous roar, and the sound of people screaming coming from the Bazaar. “Never mind.”
“Be careful, my friends.” The King forewarned. “No doubt Ashurion has grown more cautious after that previous battle.”
The heroes nodded and quickly shot out towards the bazaar. They arrived a moment later with the crowd running in the opposite direction. And the heroes couldn’t blame them. Ashurion had defiantly taken precautions. He had summoned a gigantic dragon that had two more heads than it should. The main body was grey, but each of the heads had a different color: Rec, Yellow, and Blue. And sure enough, Ashurion stood proud on the middle head.
“Well, I wasn’t expecting to see you here.” Ashurion laughed. “At least not in those forms.”
“Yeah, you’re a barrel of laughs!” Jet snapped. “Let’s just make it easy and switch our bodies back.”
“Switch you’re bodies?” Ashurion repeated. “The spell I conjured was supposed to turn you into insects.”
“So you’ll change us back?” Geisy asked hopefully.
“No.” Ashurion sniggered. “You see, my Hydra is very hungry and I was just about to feed him. I’m sure he would love some toasted chicken, frozen rats, and whatever you are.” He pointed to Jasmine.
The six heroes charged at the hydra, two going for each head. Jet and wave for the red head, Blur and Geisy for the blue head, and Rock and Jasmine for the yellow head. Unfortunately, none of them knew how to work each others bodies, other than Blur and Geisy. Though Jet kept looking for Wave wrench, but couldn’t find it. Wave, who did not believe in magic, tried desperately to use Jet’s Time Break attack. Rock and Jasmine were still going through the whole body phase. Ashurion did his best not to bust a gut.
“This is hilarious.” Ashurion laughed. “I should have sold tickets to this. Feast, my pet.”
On command, the hydra swarmed. Its three heads lengthened from its body and snapped their jaws down onto the heroes. The hydras turned their heads and opened their mouths to breathe. It came as no surprise that the red head spat out fire, but what they didn’t expect was the blue head to spew ice and the yellow head to zap lightning at them. The six were forced back by the mighty torrent of attacks from the triple threat.
“This is too much, we’re getting killed.” Jasmine said hopelessly.
“We’ll figure this out.” Rock said. “We just need a plan.”
“What’s the point?!” Jasmine exclaimed. “We’re going to die! There’s no way we can fight like this.”
“Jasmine, listen to me.” Rock said, grabbing his face. “We have to learn to trust each other. Do you trust me, Jasmine?”
She hesitated for moment then said. “I do rockhead.”
The touching moment between the two seemed to have a ripple effect on the others. Jet and Wave remembered that they spent their entire childhoods with each other. If they didn’t know each other by now, they never would.
“Let’s just beat the bad guy already.” Blur cut in.
So much for that. The heroes stood up again and charged at the hydra again. Only this time, things were different. The red dragon released a wave of fire when Jet and Wave soared by. They each located their weapons and swiped past the head with their fans/wrench. The red head was severed a moment later. Rock finally got the hang of Jasmine’s jetpack and swarmed around the yellow hydra’s head. While it was distracted, Jasmine used her new strength to grip the hydra by its neck and rip it from the main body. Back with the hedgehogs, Geisy went into Blur's Anti form and he used the bands and snapped the last head's neck.
“That was tight!” Blur cheered.
“I can’t believe we actually did it.” Rock said in shock.
“This isn’t over just yet!” Ashurion said as he reappeared. “This time’ ill finish you once and for all!”
Ashurion clapped his hands and began to chant again. Similar to last time, the sky went suddenly dark and the only light came from the rainbow orb created by Ashurion. Jet tried to jump away, but Wave held him down and the others followed her example. Ashurion threw the orb and watched as it made contact. The light returned to the Arabian Nights and Ashurion stood proudly with a hint of triumph. But when the smoke cleared, he knew he was dead.
“All right, I’m me again!” Jet cheered.
“We’re back in our own bodies.” Rock celebrated. “Finally, I can get back to crushing boulders.”
“I think we should thank Ashurion for his help.” Geisy hinted.
Ashurion went home a broken man.

The scene opens up to the beautiful oasis of Emerald Beach. Rector, Ebon, and Rave had decided to spend the day upon Rain’s suggestion. They didn’t have anything better to do since Sonic and Shadow were repairing their house. A word of advice, never piss off Rector Rose, especially when you burn his money. Early that morning, Jac had joined them. It was around noon and most of them were done for the day. But Rector, Ebon, and Rave could only watch as Jac sat on the sand and stared out into the open ocean.
“How long has he been like that?” Ebon asked.
“He’s been out there since this morning.” Rave replied. “What do you think is wrong with them?”
“It was six months ago that I found Rain out on this very beach.” Rector said. “Maybe something happened here.”
Rector had no idea how close his answer was. As Jac stared out into the ocean, only one person kept popping into his mind: Strawberry.
“I feel so helpless. Maybe I’m not destined to see Strawberry again.” Jac said in monotone.
“I don’t believe that.” Rain stated.
After two hours of self pity. Ebon was calmly meditating, Rave was experimenting on his medicine, and Rector just fell asleep. Rain thought it would be fun to poke him awake. But the minute she poked him with a stick, Rector grasped it and snapped it in half.
“I get really cranky when I don’t get my sleep.” Rector mumbled.
“It’s true.” Rave said. “I had to heal Ebon for two days after he woke up Rector.”
“Well, we’re done here.” Jac said sorrowfully. “We should be heading back to the base.”
“But before you do, mind handing yourselves over to me.”
The four heroes turned shot around behind them, just seconds to avoid being shot by a blinding purple beam. They quickly jump to their feet and found Ashurion floating above the sand with a horde of heartless surrounding him. Each of the warriors held a long purple blade in hand as they stepped aside for their master.
“Ashurion.” Jac sneered. “Figures you would show your ugly mug to ruin us.”
“Best watch that temper of yours.” Ashurion chuckled.
“What do you want?” Ebon asked, looking cautiously between the alien hordes.
“I do hate repeating myself.” Ashurion sighed. “If you refuse to hand yourselves over, we’ll just have to take it by force.” Ashurion stated. “Heartless, attack!”
“Bring it!” Rector grinned.
With a wave of his ashen hand, Ashurion sent out his mass of Black Arm warriors. Rector, being the most eager for a challenge, was of course the first one to jump in. He flipped over one of the warriors, grasped it by its shoulders and threw it towards another. The red hedgehog jabbed one warrior in the face while backfisting another warrior behind him. Ebon was dodging left and right between three warrior’s swords. The trio of aliens lifted their swords again, but by the time they reached up, it was too late. Ebon grabbed his sword, holding it backwards, and swung around at blinding speed. As he sheathed his sword, the top halves of the aliens fell over. Over with Rave, he was weaving in and out between the mass of Heartless. Along the way, he was secretly pouring red powder at their feet. Once he was out of the hive, he tossed a lighter at the powder. A second later, the powder blew up with the Heartless along with it.
“That was awesome!” Rain cheered. She started throwing her fist around like she was fight. “Yeah, give him a left! And another left! No, you’re other left!”
“Once I’m finished with you, there will be nothing left.”
Rain screamed as Ashurion floated behind her. “You’re more ugly up close.”
“I’ve had enough of your insolence.” Ashurion growled. He held out his black hand to her. “Surrender and I might be persuaded to let you live.”
“You just have one problem.” Jac jumped between Rain and the alien overlord. “You’ll have to get past me.”
“I was hoping you would say that.” Ashurion said sinisterly.
Jac ignored the last comment and jumped straight at Ashurion. He gathered a large amount of nexus energy around his fist and sent it crashing into Ashurion’s face. Unexpectedly, a fist shot out of his chest and slammed into Jac’s face, landing next to Rain.
“You ok, mate?” Rain asked.
“I’m fine.” Jac groaned. “Wonder what that freak show has this time.”
Jac pulled himself up to his feet as Rector and the rest of the team joined at his side. They watched as the rest of Ashurion’s broke away to reveal his newest body.
“Now that’s the freakiest thing I’ve ever seen.” Rave stated.
“Oh, things will only get worse.” Ashurion chuckled. “You have yet to discover the power behind this body.”
“You don’t look so tough.” Rector said amusingly.
The red hedgehog ran forward with his fist tightened at the new Ashurion. But the new overlord merely swatted him away, sending him crashing in the middle of the ocean. Ebon grasped the handle of his sword and growled lightly, feeling threatened at Ashurion’s presence.
“Any other takers?” Ashurion smirked.
“Jac, take Rain and go.” Ebon commanded.
“Forget it.” Jac refused. “I haven’t had my chance in the action.”
“That’s exactly why we want you to leave.” Ebon said. “Just take Rain and leave.”
“But I...” Jac muttered.
“Just go!” Ebon roared.
But unfortunately, Jac was too stubborn to run away. Realizing he wasn’t going anywhere, Ebon and Rave jumped in front to block his way to Ashurion. Rector swam back and flopped on the sand, completely drained. Ebon pulled out his swords and held it in his style. He charged forward to the human Ashurion and spun around like a tornado. But when he stopped spinning, Ashurion was gone.
“What the?” Ebon asked confused. “Where did he...?”
“Looking for someone?”
Ebon looked to his right and was stunned to find that Ashurion was standing weightlessly at the tip of his swords. Ebon growled, muttering something about polishing the filth off. In one swift motion, Ebon spun around in another circle, puling Ashurion of his sword and striking him. But unfortunately, the overlord somehow blocked the steel weapons with his forearm. Ashurion grasped the blades. He, with unexpected strength, forced the hilt of the blade into Ebon chest. He gasped momentarily before falling back and passing out.
“Ebon!” Rave cried.
“Such a frivolous waste.” Ashurion said, throwing the swords near Ebon’s head. “And I had hoped for a better challenge.”
“Why you?!” Rave seethed. “You stay away from him!”
“Or else what?” Ashurion said in a bored manner.
Rave, feeling nothing but anger towards the overlord, charged head forward at him. There was only one problem: he was a weakling. Rave kicked his foot at Ashurion’s face, only leaving a red mark from where his shoe hit. Ashurion lifted his hand and swatted her away into the ocean like Rector. He held out his hand, preparing to kill him once he caught sight of her. All of a sudden, a think cloud of silver powder jumped out of the water and covered Ashurion. Ashurion hunched over as Rave pulled herself out of the water.
“What have you done to me?” Ashurion questioned
“It’s a fresh batch of stomach virus I made this morning.” Rave said proudly. “It’s my own special recipe; it has no cure.”
“That would have work, if not for one problem.” Ashurion chuckled malevolently. He slowly straightened up, not at all what Rave would have expected. “I have strong will power.”
“But that was my best batch.” Rave moaned.
“And it failed.” Ashurion said as he held out his hand. “Farewell.”
Five small clouds formed around Ashurion’s body. Suddenly, five meteors emerged from the clouds and aimed for Rave. Rave looked horrified until Jac jumped out in front of her. He quickly created a barrier of nexus energy that shielded them from the barrage of meteors. When the assault ended, Jac lowered the shield so he could have a clear view of Ashurion.
“So, it has come down to this.” Ashurion stated. “Just the two of us in a final clash.”
“Don’t forget about me.” Rain piped.
“I have no time to deal with a little girl.” Ashurion waved.
“Little girl?!” Rain screamed
“I think he heard you.” Jac said, rubbing his aching ears.
“Just stay out of our way.” Ashurion said. “Why don’t you just run along and play like a good little girl.”
“That was the final straw for Rain. She roared in anger and started swinging her hands around as she charged at Ashurion. Jac tried to call her back, but Rain was too far lost in her own world. Instead of swatting her away like the rest of her team, Ashurion held his hand out, stopping her in her tracks. Rain continued to struggle, despite the fact that she was running in the same place. Ashurion sighed and merely flicked his finger to her forehead to knock her back.
“Are you quite done yet?” Ashurion questioned. “I have other matters to attend to.”
“What’s the hurry?” Jac called.
Ashurion looked over to his side, where he found Jac with a mass of nexus energy around his hand. Jac thrust the hand forward, creating a sphere of nexus energy. Where normal villains would feel threatened by the attack, Ashurion didn’t even twitch the slightest. The nexus sphere made contact and exploded around Ashurion. Just when Jac thought he had defeated the alien overlord, the human Ashurion burst from the cloud of sand and slammed his fist into Jac’s face. Jac tumbled back slightly and groaned as Rain helped him sit up.
“Is that truly your best shot?” Ashurion chuckled humorlessly. “You put up as much of a fight as that little girl.”
“I’m not a little girl!” Rain screamed.
“But how?” Jac asked. “I put a quarter of my energy into that attack. There’s no way you should have survived that.”
“Hold it, mister!” Rain shouted as she jumped in front of Jac. “Ya want to get to him; you’ll have to go through me.”
“For a minute there, I thought there was going to be a challenge.” Ashurion said.
Despite Rain’s best attempts to make herself intimidating, there was no scaring the alien overlord. Ashurion held out his human palm and started gathering a mass of black chaos energy into the shape of an orb. Rain didn’t know why, but as Ashurion walked closer, Rain suddenly opened her palm and a bright green orb suddenly shot from it. Ashurion was surprised by the attack and didn’t react in time to block it and it sent him flying backwards into the sand.
“That looked it hurt, huh?” Jac smirked. “If you know what’s good for you, you’ll leave now.”
“Not a chance.” Ashurion said. “Just because it works once, doesn’t mean it will happen again.”
“Then this’ll show ya.” Rain grinned, throwing her palm out. Unfortunately, nothing happened. “Uh oh.”
Ashurion saw this as a perfect opportunity. He kicked off the ground and dove directly at the fallen duo. Jac tried to conjure a barrier to protect them, but that was before he realized Ashurion would absorb it. Ashurion spun around and slammed his heel into Jac’s face while pushing Rain away with his hand. Jac was thrown down the beach, where Rave was healing Rector and Ebon. Rain was tossed one way. It looked like Ashurion would win.
But in a stunning turn of events, a great sound wave suddenly crashed down on him.
“What is this?!” Ashurion exclaimed.
“I will not allow you to lay a hand upon them.”
The sudden sound of the voice gave Jac the strength to stand up and run towards the spot. As the smoke began to clear, he saw a female fox.
“Strawberry!” Jac cried.
“You think I can be defeated by some parlor trick?!” Ashurion roared.
“No, but I think this should do the job.” Strawberry grinned.
Strawberry reeled back her hand and showed a large guitar in her arms. In one swift motion, Strawberry hurled a sound wave at Ashurion. Normally, Ashurion would have dodged it easily. But the moment it escaped from Strawberry’s hand, it rapidly started to increase in size. Realizing he stood no chance, Ashurion fled into the sky.
“This isn’t the end, you filthy cretins!” Ashurion shouted before vanishing in a flash of light.
“Well, that was fun.” Strawberry said. She turned to the rest of the group now awake. “You guys look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
“Strawberry!” Jac shouted joyfully.
Rector, Ebon, and Rave welcomed Strawberry to their world. But what Strawberry noticed the most was that Jac was the only one who didn’t greet her. Jac remained rooted to his spot, not believing what he was seeing. Strawberry smirked and walked over to the confused hedgehog.
“Aren’t you happy to see me?” Strawberry asked playfully.
“I am, it’s just...how do I know this is real?” Jac asked.
“You can thank Kazuki the next time you see him.” Strawberry smiled brightly.
“Welcome, Strawberry.” Jac said.
“Thanks, Jac.” Strawberry whispered.
“Now that leaves one question.” Rain said happily. “How did you get here anyway?”
“I don’t know.” Strawberry said confused. “I’ve been searching for a long time a way to come to this dimension after Kazuki found you, but found nothing. Then all of a sudden, next thing in knew, I was on this beach.”
“I bet the Sol Emeralds called you here.” Jac suggested.
“That sounds about right.” Strawberry nodded. “By the way, I saw what you did to Ashurion, Rain. Very impressive.”
“Yeah, but I don’t know how I did it.” Rain said. “Do you know?”
“I haven’t the slightest clue.” Strawberry shook her head.
“I guess we’ll have to find out sooner or later.” Ebon said.
They all nodded in agreement and figured they’ll find out about the secret of Rain’s powers eventually. The sun was beginning to set across the horizon and the heroes decided to take this opportunity to watch it. Jac and Strawberry grasped their hands together; knowing this time there will be nothing to separate them.

"Casinopolis is running again after 2 years of reconstruction. No thanks to Egghog." Rock irritadively.
"Relax, Rock. We still have our assignment here." Jasmine said elbowing Rock.
"Welcome to Casinopolis, Mister Rock and Miss Jasmine." Said a robot who was none other than Dukow.
"That's Dukow! Do you think..." Jasmine whispered beore she was interupted by. "Good Morning to you Mister Furion." Dukow said to someone. The 2 turned to see none other then the former Darkrion in a Blue Tuxedo with a With female hedgehog.
"Thank you Dukow, and hello there Rock and Jasmine. Nice to see you again." Furion says as he bows.
"Is he for real?" Rock whispered to Jasmine. "Let's just play along, for now." Jasmine whispered back.
"Your investors' meeting is ready sir." Another robot who was Bokkun said.
"You must excuse me right now." Furion said as he followed Bokkun.
--------
Blur and Geisy were standing in Green Hill Zone, the place where it all started for Blur.
"This place was the start of so many memories. It's where I met you, Wing and Rock, and when we first saw Jac." Blur said confidenly.
"I remember the moment I first laid my eyes on you, it was love at first site, but you didn't have any feelings back then." Geisy said in a disturbed manner.
"We had just met, I wasn't ready for that kind of relationship yet." Blur chuckled.
"But the one thing that triggered everything that's happened in the past, was when Eggman attacked Future City. After my father beat him for good, we all thought we saw the last of him, until 9 years later he suddenly attacked. I knew in a few seconds my life would change." Blur said looking up into the sky.
FLASHBACK
4 year old Blur was half shocked, half scared when saw his father brutaly beaten up.
"Honey are you okay?" Amy asked for his safety.
"I'm fine, but I'm not as strong as I used to be. I can't fight him." Sonic said barely standing.
"But we can't let Eggman take over. What are we gonna do?" Amy asked in fear.
"I have no choice, Blur it's time I pass the torch to you." Sonic said regreting it.
"You mean, I...get to be a hero." Blur asked confused.
"Sonic he's only 4, he can't beat Eggman." Amy said fearing for what would happen to her oldest child.
"Mom, I don't think I have a choice. I'll do it father!" Blur said.
END OF FLASHBACK
"I knew it was a step I probably couldn't take yet, but I knew something had to be done. But I'm glad I took it, if I hadn't I probably would have never met any of the friends I have today." Blur said.
"Well how sweet!" A voice called as a storm of bombs flew in the air.
"Sure took you guys long enough to go offensive." Blur said dodging all the bombs. He sooned learned his attackers were Bean and Bark. But soon an army of snakes came and surronded him. "SNAKES! OH COME ON!" Blur screamed still being a little freaked out by snakes.
"Perfect." Nack said aiming his bazooka at Blur and firing a sleep dart at him.
"Blur!" Geisy screamed.
"He's ours now. If only you could get the help you need. Let's see how far you get in 10 seconds." Nack said hoping he would get her, but sooned growled when he saw Geisy's speed.
---------------------
"Great..I'm locked up in somewhere I don't know." Blur said to himself. He had just woken up from the sleep dart.
---------------------
Geisy had been running back to the base with nack on her tail.
"Geisy, why do you look like your about to be killed?" kumori asked.
"Blur's been kidnapped. I need the others help." Geisy said with half of her breath left.
"The others left on a mission earlier. So you've only got me." Kumori said while sweat dropping.
------------------------
Geisy and Kumori had arrived at Casinopolis.
"You sure Blur's here?" Kumori asked thinking Geisy was out of her mind.
"I heard Nack say he was being taken to Casinopolis, and this is the clostest place like that..." Geisy said before she was interrupted by. "No worries guys, you're in the right place." Rock said noticing the 2.
"What are you doing here?" Geisy asked.
"At 3:00 AM the commander asked me and Jasmine to investigate the sudden restoration of Casinopolis." Rock said looking annoyed that he got no sleep.
"If you guys are looking for Blur he's trapped in the bar." Jasmine whispered loud enough for them to hear.
----------------
Blur was getting annoyed because his captors made him the pinbball in their own pinball machine.
"Everybody down!" Rock yelled. Before using his fire punch to free Blur.
"About time. Order's up." Blur said as he slid Bean across the table and spin dashed bark in the stomache.
After a while all the thugs were knocked out cold.
"We still have one dirtbag left, Darkrion." Rock said.
"Allow me to get him. YO DARKY GET YO BUTT OUT HERE!" Blur shouted distracted most of the gamblers.
"What is the meaning of this?" Furion asked as he heard Blur's yell.
"You put a bounty on Blur for villains!" Geisy shouted.
"Putting a bounty on a innocent young man?" Lightria said.
"NACK! WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN USING THE BAR FOR?" Furion screamed.
"We're busted." Nack said.
The thugs all were chased out by Bukow.
"Okay now I'm confused." Blur said scratching his head.
"When you defeated Apocalypse, I was restored again, but since he couldn't taint me with evil I was restored as my good side Furion. So you don't have any reason to not trust me anymore." Furion explained. "But do know, if I was brought back, the others should have also returned the same way."

The scene opens up in a small town in the country side. The sky was dark and Rain poured down heavy on the people below. The town folks were trying to escape the rain, and at one roadside restaurant, a hedgehog remained, the hedgehog looked like Furion but had his mother's streaks and bangs. The hedgehog’s name “Mystic” was on his shirt, Mystic was sitting in a seat near the window, watching as the rain pattered against the glass window. One of the waiters came up to him.
“Can I get ya anything?” He asked.
“No really.” Mystic said. “Unless you know where I can find someone.”
“Not many people stop in this town.” The waiter said. “They usually just pass by. Who are you looking for?”
“My father.” Mystic answered. “I was only a year old when I last saw him. I keep getting close to finding him, but he always manages to get away from me.”
“Oh, sorry about that.” The waiter said. “I don’t know what I can tell you, except to keep at it.” Mystic nodded and stood up before making his way to the door. “Where are ya headed now?”
“Who knows, man?” Mystic said. “Who knows?”
With all things said, Mystic opened the door and exited into the downpour outside. He aimlessly wandered the outside of the town, no real goal set in his mind. Making sure no one would see him, Mystic shot off the ground and zoomed skywards over the horizon. But as luck would have, he had been seen.
--------------------------------------------
The scene alters to the Casinopolis. But all the while, Furion sat quietly in his office.
“Mystic, where are you?” Furion thought.
“FURION!” yelled a voice.
“I got a delivery for you.” Bokkun said. “Some guy named Naja.”
“What?!” Furion exclaimed.
“Greetings, old friend.” Naja hissed. “Anyway, I think its time we put an end to our former partnership. Meet me at the grounds outside Central City. Oh, and bring your soldiers, I’ll be bringing my own.”
Furion grumbled. “Naja you will regret the day we ever met.”
------------------------------------------------
The scene alters a few hours later in the open field outside Central City. Naja the Snake and his loyal subject, Dino Grong, were patiently waiting for Furion and, Furion came hovering from the sky.
“Quiet an impressive array of servants.” Naja commented.
“Where are your soldiers?” Furion questioned. “You specifically said you would be bringing your own.”
“And I have.” Naja said pleasingly. “Shall you do the honors, Dino Grong?”
“My pleasure.” Dino Grong said monotonously.
The blue raptor raised his hand over his head and snapped his fingers loudly. A moment later, several clouds of darkness began to form from the ground. When the clouds disappeared, four new creatures were found in their place. They were human-sized creatures wearing white clothing with a grey mask and a pair of swords strapped in back. On their sleeves, the bared the symbol of their species: an upside-down heart with a spiked cross.
“You think those four can stand up against a group of my black soldiers.” Furion chortled.
“Actions speak louder than words.” Naja hissed menacingly. “Let’s see what you make of them. Attack!”
“Don’t let them get past!” Metal ordered.
The Samurai and the black soldiers charged forward in the middle of the field. In a moments notice, the entire group of black soldiers was reduced to a mass of black ash. Furion seemed taken back by this unexpected turn.
“But how?” Furion gasped.
“As you can see, Furion.” Naja said pleasingly. “Our warriors easily surpass those made by mere mortals.”
“No heartbeats, but still has a living essence.” Furion said. “Tell me, they wouldn’t happen to be Nobodies, would they?”
“How do you know about the Nobodies?” Naja questioned, genuinely surprised.
“After I thought you were dead, I stole your research” Furion explained. “After reading all your finds and works, I learned about everything you were studying. About the Heartless, the Nobodies, and the Unbirths.”
“You were always a nosy fool.” Naja hissed. “But it was only through your financial aid that I was able to conduct my research of the heart. It almost makes me feel bad about what I had done with your wife in the past.”
“But why would you harm Lightria?” Furion asked. “What has she done to you?”
“It was your fault.” Naja hissed menacingly. “I suggested that we perform experiments to create the ultimate life-form; a rebirth of Shadow the Hedgehog. But you denied me the funding needed to perform the process. I knew I need to motivate you.” Naja grinned wickedly. “That’s where you wife came in. Knowing you would be emotionally broken, I persuaded you into continuing my research. That eventually led to the Mystic we have come to today.”
“You a sick, twisted, heartless snake.” Furion growled.
“You are correct in more ways than one.” Naja said malevolently.
Furion stared in a confused manner until Naja began removing his chest armor. Once off, Furion was greeted by a sight he did not anticipate. There was black heart with red thorns tattooed on his chest.
“You’re a Heartless.” Furion said stunned.
“A Heartless Commander to be precise.” Naja explained. “I was lost in the darkness. But then I was rescued by a man named Ansem. He saw the darkness in my heart and allowed me to return as one of the Commanding Heartless. All he asked for was one thing in return: Find the creator of the Heartless.”
“But according to your research,” Furion cut in. “The Heartless were created by a man from a world called Radiant Garden.”
“That’s what I thought at first as well.” Naja said. “But then I learned that the Heartless were long created before the man was even born. They were formed by beings whose technology once surpassed any other worlds and unknowingly created a virus in the image of god.”
“Who?” Furion asked.
“The Babylonians.” Naja’s replied.
Furion finally knew Naja’s alternative motive. Besides seeking revenge against Streak the Hedgehog, Naja was assigned to capture the Babylon Rogues. But Furion could say anything on the matter, two objects crashed into the ground between them. As they dust cleared, Dino Grong was found weakly trying to get to his feet while a bulky soldier had tooken his weapon from his back. Dino Grong had three long claw marks cut across chest.
“I have failed you, Lord Naja.” Dino Grong said. “I couldn’t defeat him.
“There is no need to trouble yourself, Dino Grong.” Naja said. “Return to the base and we will discuss this matter later.”
“As you wish, Lord Naja.” Dino Grong bowed, before vanishing in a portal of darkness.
Naja hissed malevolently, growing an arm. “Farewell...Darkrion.”
Before Furion had a chance to realize it, Naja threw grew an arm and it extended farther than normal. It made a direct course for Furion. Just when the evil serpent thought it was over, a Lightrion zoomed out of nowhere and struck his hand. Naja hissed in pain. Furion was utterly confused until Mystic floated down from the sky and gracefully landed on the ground. Mystic had a confident smirk on his face while Naja hissed with the utmost rage.
“Not feeling confident now, are ya, slither-face?” Mystic grinned.
“You?!” Naja hissed. “You are just as meddlesome as your father, Mystic.”
“Mystic?!” Furion exclaimed.
“If you know what’s good for you, you’ll leave us alone!” Mystic shouted.
“Not a chance!” Naja yelled back. “I will not let all my careful planning go to waste!”
“Ok, your funeral.” Mystic said confidently.
Naja reeled back his other arm and shot it forward like his previous attack. But Mystic showed no signs of cowardice. He pulled back and cupped his hands together. Metal and Furion watched in fascination as Mystic slowly started together dark crystal chaos energy into his palms.
“BLACK CHAOS CANNON!” Mystic yelled.
Mystic thrust his hands forward and ejected a stream of dark energy from his palms. The ground erupted in a flare of bright black light, blinding everyone in the vicinity. When the light faded away, a large carter was found in Naja’s place. The small fading wisps of darkness signified that Naja had escaped.
“Aw man, he got away.” Mystic complained.
“You did well enough.” Furion said, walking up to his son. It was an emotional moment for Furion, having reunited with his only son after 10002 years. “You know, I’ve always dreamed of this day. I had hoped that somehow, you would still be alive somewhere, just waiting for me to find you.”
“Well, I got tired of waiting.” Mystic said. “You weren’t exactly looking too far with all your world conquest plans as Darkrion.”
Furion looked proudly down upon his son. “You know, you look just like me when I was your age. But you have you mother’s eyes, and I am guessing her personality as well.”
“Let’s just hope I don’t end up as fat as you were once.” Mystic laughed.
“I was not fat!” Furion screamed.
“Hey, Dad!” Mystic shouted. “I was wondering, why is Naja so obsessed about keeping Blur a secret!”
“That’s the thing that worries me the most!” Furion shouted. "Blur is the key."
Multis was using the base main frame computer, suddenly something odd went up. "A virus on the internet? I thought a virus could only get on your computer." Multis clicked on the sorce of the virus and saw a picture of someone he and the others thought they'd never see again. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Multis used his new wheel mode feature and rushed out of the base to The Blazer residence.
At Blur's house, Lightrion was on the computer typing a letter to Delight. "Dear Delight, I'm sorry about that incident a week ago after your love declaration, I feel worse then the time I threw up in your shoes and forgot to tell you before you put them on, you like painting so what's a few rainbows between friends. Love Lightrion, NO I MEAN FROM, I MEAN...AW, I can't decide!!!" Lightrion said falling backwards in his chair. "I'm okay that she said she loved me, but I can't seem to tell her I feel the same way."
*Ding Dong*
Lightrion got up without noticing he sent his e-mail, with him saying Love Lightrion, and he opened the door to see Multis sweating oil. "What's up Multis?" Lightrion asked before Multis screamed. "I THINK APOCALYPSE IS BACK ON THE INTERNET!" Multis drove off with Lightrion before he could say anything.
-----------
"So is everyone here?" Multis asked. Everyone gave a thumbs up. "This morning I saw a virus on the computer, when I found it's location I saw the face of Apocalypse on it, and by the time I rounded everyone up Ashurion and 2 other figures have joined on." Multis explained. "So what do you want us to do?" Lightrion asked. "I can dowload us onto the internet to fight them. First off to be safe I'll need Ashura and Lightrion to test it." Multis said sternly. Lightrion and Ashura went into tubes and Multis downloaded them onto the internet. "Don't we need a password to get on?" Lightrion asked once they were in the connection tunnel. "Use mine, it's Egghog's old password MARIA." Multis said. Soon Lightrion and Ashura were in a strange room. They soon saw Naja, Dino Grong and Ashurion. "Let's sneak up on them" Ashura whispered. "White Chaos Blast." Lightrion shouted ignoring Ashura, frying Naja's back. "That's sneaking?" Ashura shouted. "Shadow darts." The villains started dodging their attacks and then Ashurion went on the attack with his infinite abilities. "Poison belch." Ashurion said before he spat acid out of his mouth, one landed on Ashura's leg and would've melted his leg if it weren't for his powers protecting him. "Nice trick, watch mine." Naja Grew arms and grasped Ashurion and Dino Grong in them, Soon Naja absorbed them and became a hairy snake like raptor. "Venom Shooter!" He shoot purple goop at the two and they felt limp soon.
"Just perfect. Mach, Dash, Geisy and Kumori we'll need you next." Multis said before downloading them.
"Who's next?" Naja asked himself before being blasted by a barrage of Chaos Spears. Dash gets behind and charges his Chaos Spiral. While Mach fires a Chaos Pulse. "Gagh!" Naja screams as he's attacked from both sides. "Take this, CHAOS HURRICANE!" Geisy screams as Naja is hit by her Chaos Nova attack. "I'm not threw y..." But before Naja could finish his a speeding black blur attacks from all sides unseen and then smashes his skull killing him. Multis quickly sent everyone onto the internet to fight this black blur, when it stopped Anti Blur was standing right there.

"Oh it's just Blur." Flash said in relief. "I'm over here." Blur pointed out, when the Anti Blur look alike turned to face them they saw a black emerald embeded into his forehead, and when he spoke, the voice almost killed them from shock. "Oh really?" The voice was just Blur's with a growling effect. (Think Sonic the Werehog) "Your not Blur imposter, stop acting like it." Geisy shouted. "Your right I'm not in mind, but at by body I am. It is I, APOCALYPSE!" Apocalypse shouted. "But how?" Dash asked. "Do you remember the first time Blur went Anti? Well after he was knocked unconscious I sent the true essence of my being into him because his power was greater then mine, you did destroy my body, but I had my spirit inside Blur. So for the past half year, every time Blur went Anti, I started to steal his anti form essence. And last night I finally took full control of it, but I needed time to recover, so with Blur's Anti form and Anti form voice I went into the internet disguised as a virus to heal. Now I'm free to do want I want, but now I'm even stronger!." Apocalypse said. Mach was furious and attacked in him in rage. "Grrrrrrrrr..." Apocalypse growled. "I know Blur to well, you have a disadvantage." Mach smirked, but that smirk went away when Apocalypse became unseen and struck almost everybody, the only ones still conscious was Blur and Geisy.
Back in the real world Multis couldn't believe what was happening. Everyone around the world was sending emails to the Blur Team asking what was happening. "No, it can't end like this. And these e-mails are making the computer freeze." Multis said in anger.
In the internet We go into Blur's mind Blur was just laying there, Geisy somehow enters his mind. "Blur it's me Geisy. Don't give up now...listen I don't have anything to help you, but your not alone, we're all here. Apocalypse powers are beyond we can defeat by means alone now that he has one of your strongest forms as his body. Now it's time we lend are powers to you, fell our hope feel our strength!" Geisy cried. "I...I feel it!" Blur said opening his eyes. Back outside of Blur's mind now everyone was unconscious Apocalypse chuckled in victory, until suddenly started shinning in a bright light. Causing everyone to regain conscious. When the light faded there stood Blur, but he was in a whole new form. "The power of our friendship." Mach spoke. "And the power of others." Dash finished. "They fused together to transform Blur into..." They both spoke. "OMEGA BLUR" Blur finished. "So I guess we'll have the ultimate fight in the internet." Apocalypse said with a smirk like look. "Bring it" Blur said. Then the two charged at each other.
Blur and Apocalypse were fighting each other for half an hour already, neither showing signs of giving up, they were equal in every stat making this battle one either side could win, We just hope that Apocalypse doesn't win. "So, your harder to kill than I thought." Apocalypse said in amusement. "That's because I'm a good guy, and good always beat evil." Blur said. "Then let's see if you can destroy me in a minute!" Apocalypse shouted before planting a bomb in the internet center. "If you can't defeat me before time runs out, you lose." Blur was ready to strike, but Apocalypse kept jumping to a random area, and when Blur caught sight of him again he repeated the process.
"Oh no, we have to power to beat him now, but not the time. If only we could slow him down." Multis grunted. "Well hurry and figure something out we only has 30 seconds left!" Flash screamed. "Of course when I got to many e-mails on the computer it froze, if I send them to Apocalypse he'll slow down. Okay Apocalypse..." Multis said selecting all the e-mails. "YOU'VE GOT MAIL!" Selihpem shouted.
Back in the internet Apocalypse was about to move again when the e-mails arrived freezing him. With 10 seconds left Blur rushed over and tried to rip the emerald of his head.
10 "Let go!" Apocalypse shouted.

8 "It's stuck." Blur said in panic.

5 "Hurry!" Geisy yelled.

1 "AAAAAAAAAAAH!" Multis screamed.
00.01; A sudden rip was heard as the Black Emerald flew out of his head. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Apocalypse shouted as a sudden flash engulfed the entire universe.
----------------------------------------
Back in the real world eveyone was back where they were. Flash panicked when he saw he had sent his e-mail. "Oh man. I'm screwed." Soon he got an e-mail from Delight. 'Thanks for the e-mail Flash, I knew you cared. Love Delight. PS, I know what you were trying to tell me.' It read. Flash only smiled. "Who says life doesn't have happy endings?"
