His eyes are set on the pool,he intently watches two beings in another dimension. One slaps the other five. "That's two." thought the Figure. Then,as the figure watches even more intently,one brushes against the other as he streaks past. "And that's three!" shouted the figure out loud. Upon seeing this last event,he steps out of the shadows of this dark,cold,place. He places his hands on a glowing spot on his forehead,a green pulsating light. As the dark realm becomes brighter, the light on his head is revealed to be a chaos emerald,small and deeply embedded in his forehead. Now,as a beam of energy from the emerald bombards the boundary of The Realm of Silence,a swirling portal appears,The Void. The figure,now revealed to be an Echidna,his pink color ablaze, leaps into the portal. He thinks "Chaos Returns!". ________________________________________________________________ Later...in Knothole Village Blades and the rest had been in knothole for almost a week,and still,between Spykee and Rotor,nothing had given them a hope of getting home. Blades and Jennifer sit at the table in Sonic's hut,Blades impatiently taps the table. "Man! What's taking Spykee and Rotor so long?!" said Blades. "Relax." said Jennifer. "They're doing their best to repair Spykee's portable Void Actuator,but it was badly damaged when we fell on to that island." "I know,but Arcon's there all alone,who know's what could happen to him without us there!" said Blades. "I realize you're worried,but you can't let it get you down, I mean, you've just dicovered you have family here,doesn't that count for anything?" said Jennifer. "Of course it does!" said Blades. "But I've got the responsibility of protecting Hedgehog City and the rest of Psuedo-Mobius,and that has to come first!" "You?" said Jennifer. "Admiting you have responsibilities? Who are you,and what've you done with Blades?" said Jennifer,smiling. "Okay,okay,so maybe I'm taking this to hard." said Blades. "Sonic's cool,and I guess won't be a disaster if we stay a couple more days." "That's the spirit!" said Jennifer. "Now c'mon,I've got a surprise for you." Blades and Jennifer proceeded to go outside,where they were met by Sonic,Tails and Icurus. "What's the surprise?" said Blades. "Well,since you seem so bored and down in the dumps,we thought maybe you'd like to accompany Sonic on a mission to Robotropolis." said Jennifer. Blades smiled. "Way past,cuz!" Blades and Sonic immediately headed for Robotropolis. Sonic was surprised that Blades almost beat him there,he discovered that Blades could spin almost as fast he could run. When they arrived,Sonic filled Blades in on the mission. "Okay,here's the plan,that building over there is Ro-but-nik's power plant,we shut that down,he'll be outta commision for days!" said Sonic. Sonic pulled out a set of plans for the power plant. "Now,we can't go in the main entrance,Sal say's it's too heavily guarded,so we just-" Blades interupted him and pointed to the blank outer wall of the power plant. "There's a perfectly good door right there!" said Blades. "What?" Sonic looked at the blank wall,confused. "There's no door!" "Use your imagination,cuz!" Blades spun at the wall,and created a massive breach. "What was that? Cardboard? Greco uses a lot stronger metal than than that!" "Whoa! Way past,my man!" said Sonic,as they entered the plant. Suddenly,out of nowhere,a portal opened in front of them,and out stepped an Echidna. He was pink in color,his fists clenched. "Look out! It's Hyper-Knuckles!" shouted Sonic to Blades. But he soon realized this was not Knuckles,Hyper or otherwise. Around his neck hung a gold chain with a power ring on it,his eyes were red with black pupils,a black cape was draped over his shoulders,and his most striking feature,a small chaos emerald in the center of his forehead. "Greetings,mortals." said the Echidna. "I am Chaos,I thank you for releasing me!" "What?" Blades was still stunned by his appearance. "When you two relatives came in contact with each other three times, I was able to use the void to free me from the Realm of Silence." said Chaos. "Listen,I don't know who you are,but get out of our way,we've got a mission to complete." said Sonic. "I'm afraid not,you see,I know that the green one wants to return home, that would banish me back to the realm of silence,so I'm going to have kill you both." "You forget,you're outnumbered one-to-four." said Blades. "Yes,not quite fair,is it?" said Chaos. "You'll have to have a couple more people on your side to make it even" Chaos snapped his fingers, (or whatever it is echidnas have to snap!) and Knuckles and Slammer appeared. "Okay,what now?" said Knuckles. "Yeah." said Slammer. Blades and Sonic explaned what was happening,and Knuckles nodded. "I'll t'care of this creep!" Knuckles charged forward,fists clenched for attack,but Chaos was ready for him. Chaos planted a fist ablaze with green chaos fire in Knuckles' face. Knuckles was sent flying through the air,and landed face-up on the ground. "Hey!" shouted Slammer. "You can't do that to another echidna!" Slammer's metal fist poised for pounding,he charged forward,was met by the same retaliation,and landed neatly next to Knuckles. Blades turned to Sonic. "Got anything to give us a boost? We're gonna need it!" Sonic pulled a power ring from his backpack. "You know it,cuz!" Sonic and Blades both held the power ring,and then,energized,rushed Chaos. Chaos retaliated with the same treatment,but the power ring deflected it. Blades and Sonic spun full force at Chaos,he dropped to the ground. "Okay" Chaos got up. "Round two!" Chaos raised his hands into the air,and suddenly,they were in a strange zone. All around,Chaos Emeralds and Power Rings littered the landscape,the ground glowed. "Hey!" said Knuckles. "This looks like the-" "Unknown Zone!" said Sonic. "Hey...." said Knuckles. "Didn't we destroy that?" "Yeah,but this could just be a similar zone." said Sonic. "Enough talking!" said Chaos. "I'm waiting!" Sonic and Knuckles huddled,planning their attack. Sonic turned to Blades. "Okay,cuz,stand back,leave this to Super Sonic and Hyper Knuckles!" Blades looked at Slammer. "Think we oughta tell 'em?" "No,they'll find out." said Slammer. Quickly,Sonic and Knuckles collected 6 Chaos Emeralds and 50 Power Rings and transformed into Super Sonic and Hyper Knuckles. ________________________________________________________________________ Super Sonic and Hyper Knuckes rushed Chaos,and pummeled him to the ground. Chaos got up and fired assorted blasts of chaos energy at them. They deftly doged the onslaught. "Is that yer' best shot?" said Super Sonic. "No,this is!" Chaos grabbed a nearby chaos emerald. energy from his hands coursed into the emerald. It began to change,it became a feiry ball of Chaos energy. Chaos reared back,and threw the FireBall. Sonic had no time to react,even though he was a thousand times faster than normal,he wasn't prepared for this. Knuckles' super strength couldn't even slow it down. They both fell to the ground,the energy draining them. It covered them like sheet lightning,Knuckles turned back to red,and Sonic back to blue. Chaos stood over them,his fist now afire with Chaos energy. "And now,farewell!" said Chaos. But then,as Chaos' fist was falling,he was hit by a white spinning blur. It knocked him directly into a tall grey stone portruding from the ground. Chaos looked up from his fallen position to see a white hedgehog standing over him. "Call me Ultra-Blades,sparky!" said Ultra-Blades. Chaos stood up,eyes ablaze. As he prepared to strike Blades down, a golden fist struck him square in the jaw. Slammer blew on his golden first finger,imitating blowing vapor from a smoking gun. He was now pink,his metal parts were gold. Sonic finally managed to struggle to his feet. "You never said you could do that!" said Sonic. "You never asked.While you getting your hedgehog tail kicked up and down this zone due to lack of manpower,me and Slammer collected 12 Chaos Emeralds and 100 Power Rings,between us." said Ultra-Blades. "I was so awesome!" said Mega-Slammer. "Yeah,but I was the best!." said Ultra-Blades. "No way!" said Mega-Slammer. "Way!" said Ultra-Blades. "I hate to interrupt this,but Mr. Mean-Green's waking up." said Knuckles,pointing to the awakening Chaos. Blades grabbed a vine from a tree. He then grabbed a chaos emerald, and energized the vine with it. Then,he used it to tightly bind Chaos. "That oughta hold 'im!" said Ultra-Blades. "Now lets go,this white color is clashing with the surroundings ____________________________________________________________________ The four found a portal in "The Ultra Zone",as they called it,which took them back to knothole. When they arrived,Spykee and Rotor were waiting with Spykee's newly repaired portal device. "Well,it took awhile,but we did it!" said Spykee. "How was 'yer mission?" "We didn't complete,it but we brought back a trophy,anyway." said Blades, gesturing to Chaos. ____________________________________________________________________ After goodbyes were exchanged by the very different,but somehow kindred Freedom Fighters,The Portal was opened. But then,as the swirling vortex of "The Void" was opened,a green beam of energy knocked Blades down. Chaos had broken through the vines,and had fired upon Blades. "Looks like end game,hedgehog,and I win!!" Chaos prepared to finish Blades, but Sonic leapt forward and knocked him down. While Chaos was stunned,The four entered the portal. Before Blades left, he said "Thanks,now we're even!" Then,once all were through the Void,it reopened,sucking Chaos into The Realm of Silence. As he was re-doomed to that wretched zone he screamed, "I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ____________________________________________________________________ That night,Sonic went outside and looked at the stars,he hoped that one day,he would see his cousin again,and that they would be celebrating the downfall of Robotnik and Greco. "Catcha later,cuz." Sonic smiled and went inside.
