However only about 1.7 million have been discovered. This planet continues to overflow with species we have never seen. However...perhaps there are more species to be discovered in a different type of world? "Look over there." A voice said as several eyes looking through binoculars peered out through a forest seeing a small hooved animal walking through the forest. "That's the Japanese Serow." The voice added as several others all awed in wonder at seeing the small animal. The voices came from a tour group of a wildlife parks. It was full of families all deciding to take the day to have a small trip. Parents and children all stared in amazement this little trip to nature exciting them. The one who was telling them about said animals was a young man around 20 years old. The man was Yamato Kazakiri, he was the easiest to pick out among the group due to the overly large hiking backpack he had on. The orange sun was atop his head of black hair while he wore a red rain jacket over his torso covering the white sweatshirt and red and black flannel shirt under that, a pair of hiking boots and tan pants, along with a zebra pattern scarf around his neck. His appearance stood out among the normal park visitors wearing their normal clothing and coats. Yamato smiled to everyone as they watched the Serow graze the grass for it's meal. "Quite everyone, try not to scare it off, let's watch it's eating habits." He said, mostly to the overexcited children seeing such an animal for the first time. One child then walked up to Yamato and patted his arm to get his attention. "Ne-ne...what kind of deer is that?" The child asked pointing...to a wooden deer head sticking out from some bushes. Looking down it could be seen that said deer head...was strapped on to the head of an older man. The man was even wearing a full on matching deer costume. It looked like a fussy deer themed onesie, black hoof themed gloves included. The man turned to the group before picking out Yamato among all of them. "Oh! Hey Yamato!" The man called out to Yamat, who paled slightly at that, a look of embarrassment and shock. "What are you doing Uncle Mario?" Yamato asked/hissed to his newly revealed Uncle Mario as he ran up to the man in the Deer costume. "Huh...what do you mean? This is my usual training." Mario replied as if it were the most simple thing ever earning a good amount of chuckles from the tour group who found this incredibly funny. Yamato heard someone walking up to him as he saw a teen in a orange hoody, The Hood covering his face as he was wearing blue pants, stile sport shoes with Red lines on sides. He was wearing a black shirt underneath his hood. The teen face was seen in the hood as he had orange yellow skin and blue eyes and his blue hair could be seen from the hood. "Ah! Flash?! What are you doing out of the house!" Yamato whispered to him and ran towards him but was worried not angry." You know how you will get if your out." "Gomen,.. Uncle Mario went out and I was alone in the house, so I wanted to see the animals. I am in my disguise." Flash told him. Yamato just looked down and was worried." I know, But I'm only worried about you that's all." Yamato told Flash as he looked back at the tour Group as they were busy seeing the animals. Another kid ran forward calling for Yamato. "Yamato-sensei!" The boy shouted as he ran through the rest of the tour group, his hands cupped together. "I found an egg." He said, holding up a rather large bird egg. Both Yamato and Flash ran to him.Yamato walked up to him and smiled at the boy. "Leave it to me." He replied happily as he took the egg carefully from the boy before he tucked into his coat's pocket. He then reached into his large backpack and pulled out a rope. Yamato tossed the rope up and around the branch of a tree the boy said he found the egg. The rope now secured, Yamato put his foot to the trunk of the tree and began climbing up the tree. Once he reached the branch he found a large bird nest. Yamato smiled as he pulled the egg from his pocket and quickly put it back in the nest safely and carefully. "Yamato-sensei sugei!" The boy shouted in amazement at seeing how quickly and easily Yamato did that. "I want to be a tour guide." "His not a tour guide," Flash told the kid as he was still covering his face with the hood. "His right I'm not a tour guide, I'm a zoologist!" Yamato shouted back proudly. He then jumped down in one motion landing on his feet. As he did his backpack shook...and made something fall out. It was a large white cube with crack like marks in it roughly the size of a classic rubik's cube. Yamato heard the thumping of the cube as it rolled down the hill. "Ah! My good luck charm!" He shouted running after it. "Wai-!" He began before he tripped on a rock or root sending him tumbling head over heels, left over right down the mountains incline. "YAMATO" Flash ran for Yamato as he easily jumped from tree to tree sides to not fall.Yamato and his good luck charm began rolled down until they hit the end of the incline, and stopped at a stream. Flash had reached there when Yamato stopped. "You know, You really are clumsy holding on to the charm." Flash told as he helped Yamato up. "For a cube...this thing sure can roll…" he groaned as he saw the cube right in front of him. As he picked the cube up...it began to glow. Not just light up from light bouncing off it, but glow like a flashlight turned on. Multicolored light emanating from the cube. Yamato and Flash blinked at this before Both of them noticed another glow. Yamato stood back up. As a larger light over the stream lit up...forming into giant cube the size of a large car. It was made up of eight cubes connected by rectangular columns, with white squares in the center. Five of its six sides glowing in multicolored light. Except for one...which was white and pointing towards Yamato himself. Flash was surprised as he never seen this but soon something in his pocket shinned as he took it out to reveal another cube like Yamato's. "My family charm... It never did this before." Flash muttered seeing his charm reacting to the giant cube. Yamato took his hat off in shock. "What...is that?" He asked as he walked toward the mysterious floating super cube. Flash was busy seeing his own cube that he didn't notice him go. As he got closer the cube began moving pointing it's none glowing side right at him, and revealing a square slot in it as well. With the same dimensions and size...as Yamato's lucky charm cube. Yamato realized this as well, as even a crack pattern was seen in the back of the slot matching one of the crack patterns on his good luck charm. "Wait...does this?" He asked mostly to himself as he held his lucky charm up and then slid it into the slot. Flash got out of his thoughts when he saw Yamato do this. "YAMATO NO!" Flash yelled trying to stop him but it was to late. Suddenly the side he put his charm into the slot...lit up. The Cube then rose up before it began sliding around like a rubix cube before it's bottom portion opened up revealing a multicolored endless expanse. Yamato and Flash screamed in surprise before a red and Orange aura formed over both bodies and sucked them inside. The Giant cube closed slowly after eating the poor Zoologist and Teen up. The world still has much to discover, but with the hearts of five connected, the world can discover these things, for those Five shall protect it with a roar of victory.

Saikyou no ouja Zyuohger yasei no PAWAA de Chikyuu no nakama wo mamotte miseru Zettai teki shousha Zyuohger taiyou yori mo moeru Kokoro wa muteki sa Zyuohger! "Hmm?" A blue anthropomorphic hedgehog wearing a necklace around his neck blinked, seeing a large beam of light nearby. "If that's not trouble with a captial 'Egg,' then I don't know what is," He stated, twirling a sword in his hand. The hedgehog was wearing a red scarf with the ends tattered. He wore a white shirt with sky-blue detailing and jeans, said jeans sporting a belt with a hurricane-shaped buckle. He then rested the sword on his back before speeding towards the beam of light. A young twin-tailed, golden-furred fox looked up from a yellow, bulky tablet-like device to see the beam of light. His blue eyes narrowed a little as he put the device away into a satchel before dusting off his baggy brown pants while he stood up. "This better not be Eggman again…" he muttered as he put on an aviator's jacket over his white shirt and ran over to a blue biplane. He hopped into the seat and began to start up the machine. The propeller began to spin as the engine roared to life. Within seconds, the plane was off in the sky. On a floating island, a red Echidna was looked up from what looked like the remains of a shrine, a giant green emerald standing behind him. "...This better not be Eggman's doing again," the echidna muttered as he picked up a dark brown stetson hat, placing it on his head, before putting on a dark brown vest, 'Vector and the other Chaotix should be able to take care of things here while I'm gone' "Eh?" A young, midnight-black furred fox blinked a bit as he looked up, his twin tails (one being an invert of the other) swaying a bit behind him, "...Ano, O-onee-chan?" "Hai, Nii-chan?" A blond-furred hedgefox looked up from the checkerboard they were playing, her jade eyes blinking twice at the fox. "Th...there's a weird light in the sky," the young fox responded, pointing to the pillar of light in the sky. "Ah," the hedgefox nodded, the ponytail her hair/quills were in bobbing a bit, as she looked at the light, "You think it's the meanie Eggman-san again?" "...I...I hope not," the fox whimpered a bit, hiding his face behind his twin tails. "Don't worry, nii-chan," the hedgefox assured, patting his head, "Sonikku and the others can handle it. Though...it can't help but be there in case we're needed. We do owe Sonikku a lot." "...I...I suppose so," the fox shyly nodded. "Hai. And who knows. Maybe you know who will be there~" "E-eep!" The fox yelped a bit, his entire face in a heavy blush as he hid further behind his tails, knowing who his older sister was referring to. The hedgefox giggled before narrowing her eyes at the light, "Ikuze, Haseo-nii-chan." "H...hai," the fox nodded, the blush on his face dying down as he stood up. The light all were watching was coming from a large cube, much like the one found by the human lad Yamato and Flash. Said cube was flashing brighter and brighter, years of not being used resulting in this build up of its power. The residents of this world all gathered around the large cube...well, from a very large safe distance. With the guardians of the Link Cube being the only ones to get close to the mystical object. Everyone murmured as the cube began to twist itself randomly. As it did, it finally stopped before it slowly cracked open along the bottom. As the Cube opened up, a red and Orange light was ejected from within the cube. The red and Orange light seemed to be made of smaller cubes as it flipped through the air before the light faded revealing two being that painfully landed in the grass with a loud audible thud. With his head buried under some dry grass, the figure groaned in pain. The other one was unconscious. "Ite...ite...ite…" he groaned, the grass falling off his head. Yamato groaned as he flipped himself over and fell on his backpack. "What was that?" He asked as he looked up at the sky, part of him thinking he just landed in some clearing in his world, "...Where am I?" He grunted as he tried to move but before he could, the people crowding around the Link cube began gasping and pointing at Yamato. It was clear to the inhabitants of this world. The thing to be ejected from the Link Cube, were two hareless being known as a humans. To them, Yamato and Flash are possibly the second and third human to exist on this world, the first having not left them with the best of impressions of his race. As Yamato heard some of their whispers and mumbles, he looked back as the four Guardians of the cube walked up to him to inspect what the Link Cube ejected. Yamato's eyes met with four pairs looking down at him. But what stood out was the four humanoids looking at him...were anthropomorphic animals. In this case: a male Lion, his mane tied into dreadlocks falling around the sides of his head, his yellow messy clothes resembling clothing styles from Africa or Jamaica. The next was a female shark, she had a headband on her head keeping back several fins seeming to make up hair for her head, she was wearing blue clothing consisting of multi-colored tights and a blue dress. The third was a male elephant, his features standing out most of all due to the large trunk, ears with strange earrings as well, and the tusks his clothing was green and resembled something one would see a man wear in countries in India. The final one was a female Tiger, a white tiger at that, her choice of clothing was a mix of matching white and pink clothing that looked very warm and a lot like winter clothing for some. Yamato took a couple of seconds to take in the four looking down at him...and the four to take in his looking back at them. After another second all five of them screamed their heads off, in Yamato's case it was a normal human scream, as was the Shark girl's, but the Lion and Tiger's both turned into roars, as the elephant's was a shout from his trunk. In the crowd, many with more sensitive ears fell over holding said ears from the roar of the lion. "Leo!" The shark girl shouted as she covered the Lion...now named Leo's mouth shutting him up. "How many times do I have to tell you not to do that!?" She asked as Leo mumbled something into her hand. "Are you trying to blow our ears out?" "It ain't my fault if you have sensitive ears Sela!" Leo shouted addressing the shark girl by her name. "Shut up!" "Are they...really human?" The Tiger girl questioned as she hid behind the elephant. "You think Tusk?!" She asked pushing the Elephant...named Tusk...forward. "Ah...wait don't push, Amu!?" Tusk complained addressing the girl by her name. They can talk…" Yamato said as he backed away before he saw the crowd of beings who where all other animals just like the four he met. "Animals...a shark, lion, elephant, tiger...and others. Are standing, talking, and wearing clothes!" He shouted as he took this in. He then stood up as he saw the city not to far away and all the cubish buildings around them. Yamato's jaw was left agape as he took in this strange if not alien world. "Wow..." Yamato spoke as he looked around but soon spotted Flash on the ground unconscious." Ah Flash!" Yamato ran towards him and shook him. Flash start to get conscious. "Ah... What happened?" Flash muttered opening his eyes seeing Yamato in a worried look. " Yamato... What happened.. where are we." He asked as he got up. "I don't know, but you'll be surprised." Yamato told as Flash was confused but when he looked around he was shell shocked to see another unknown place with giant cubes, and animals walking around in clothes and like humans."what the?!" Flash whispers.He got up and looked around, Yamato did aswell. "Oi-Oi-Oi! Sela, what do we do about this?!" Leo asked in panic as they saw Yamato and Flash stand up and walk around. "They walked? You really think there human...they looks so...different.?" Amu asked Tusk. "Hard to say." He replied. "Where the heck are we?!" Yamato asked in a gasp as he was left in a mix of shock, amazement, wonder, and maybe a little fear. "Don't know" Flash spoke equally confused. "There not chubby." Leo whispered to his friends. "Or baldy mcnosehair." Amu added. "But he's wearing red. He has to be associated with him." "What about the other one," Leo asked. "Don't know?" Tusk told. "Hey, humans, are you an Egg?!" Leo shouted. "What is this place...everything...is square...and talking animals?" Yamato asked, ignoring the question. "Wait...egg?" He blinked in confusion. "What egg?" Flash blinked in confusion. "There not denying it! Get them before one of them Roboticizes us!" "No, not again!" Amu cried as they tackled Yamato and Flash. "AH! Why does the Lion weigh more?!" Yamato groaned. "I got the Egg!" Leo roared. "Hey let go!" Flash yelled trying to get out of Leo's grip who was holding him from one hand and the other was holding Yamato. "We're not an Egg..my name is Yamato and that's Flash I'm a...wait...how do I explain that job here…?" He blinked to himself as Leo pinned him down. "Ah! Claws! Claws! Claws!" He cried in pain, feeling his claws digging through his jacket. Flash tried desperately to escape his grip, suddenly his hoody cap fall off his head. When the others saw his head they were shell shocked and gasped so did Yamato when he saw flash cap had fallen back. The others were shocked because Flash had two yellow Fox ears on his head. Soon when he was struggling his yellow tail came out under the hoody. Flash felt his hair loose and checked his head and see that the hoodie came off. He looked back and saw there shocked look except Yamato who had a worried look. "Your... A Hybrid." Leo asked slowly. Soon he yelled out in shock and accidentally pushed Flash back with his strength as he was flung back and hit a tree. He soon lost conscious again and was knocked out. "FLASH!"Yamato yelled but was soon losing consciousness because of Leo digging his claws in as he was losing blood and soon was knocked out. "Hey I got them." Leo declared but soon was doped slap in the back of his head by Sela. "Baka!.. why did you nocked out the Hybrid!" She yelled at him. "Sorry! sorry! Leo got scared! Please don't hurt me!" Leo took a defensive movement not to get hit. "We can deal with you later first we should take care of them." Tusk told as he looked at both humans. "Let's take them to Queen Aleena on the double!" Sela ordered. "Yes, to the Council of Four!" "Oh, so Leo and the guys actually did their jobs for once?" The blue hedgehog pondered, looking from a distance, "Huh, but is that guy a robot or Eggman's good looking relative?" He asked twirling his sword, "And The Hybrid human doesn't look anything like eggman, What do you think Caliburn?" "I am unsure, Knave," a voice replied, "Though...I do not believe them to be allied with Robotnik." "You and this knave nonsense. This is why I talk to Shahra more than you." "Hmph. That is because she calls you with more respect, Knave, which is what I call one who cannot read the situation. If that human and Hybrid were with Robotnik, then would they have not fought Leo off the moment he felt the claws?" "Well, Leo ain't Knuckles, and isn't that dumb to fall for the weakling gag." "True, but even still, there reaction to our home. That was too innocent." "Maybe... C'mon. Let's go find Manic. They'll want the council's judgement." "Must we?" "He's my brother. He just has that nasty thief addiction to break. Besides, I love him more than you." He said as he ran off. "Okay, next time you bring a human and Hybrid? Don't drag them all over the floor." A nurse groaned, patching Yamato up. "Sorry," Leo apologized, scratching the back of his head, luckily he was just grabbing at his mane. He was then punched in the nose by Sela. "AH!" He groaned. "We needed to bring them back in one piece...idiot." She sighed at his antics. "Man you really hurt the hybrid aswell." The nurse nodded as she see the Human hybrid sleeping with a soft towel he suddenly grabbed," but glade he wasn't injured or I'll be madder then you think." "Sorry,Ah...Tusk...is it bleeding?" Leo asked. "Yes." Tusk replied calmly as Leo freaked. "Who got blood on the castle floor?!" "Ah son of a…!" Leo gasped as he stopped the blood from leaking from his nose with rolled up tissues. Amu, Sela, and Tusk both pushed Leo forward before taking steps back near Yamato. Leo gulped as he looked upon the lady before him. She was an anthropomorphic hedgehog much like the blue one, but her fur was a rich magenta with sapphire eyes. She wore an elegant dark-purple skirt ending just past her knees with a gold belt around her waist, dark-purple stockings, and a dark-purple tee. Around her neck was a silver necklace with a charm shaped like a keyboard while her quills/hair was set into the latest hairstyle. "So who did it this time?" She demanded. "Ahh, Sonia-hime! Lovely as always." Amu gulped. "Ah...you look especially good today." Tusk chuckled as both seemed the most afraid. "Leo did it." Sela bluntly stated. "Sela! Traitor!" Leo roared. "Sela, anything that comes out of your mouth when Leo is the first word makes me think it's related to your fight in the tournament...Also, if he did while you were all on duty, then you're all to blame. He's your leader after all." "Hehehe…" Leo laughed to himself. "Ah...claws hurt…" Yamato groaned, having woken up. "Was that a dream…?" And looking at his surroundings, "...Ahh! It wasn't a dream!" At that, Sonia freaked out as her necklace turned into a keyboard with a blaster on it, "Ahh, Human!" "Ah! Don't shoot!" Yamato freaked as he fell out of the bed he was laying in. "Ow…" he groaned before pulling himself back up. "Yep...not a dream…" he groaned, rubbing his bandaged up back before holding a pillow up as a shield. "You four idiots bought a human to the castle?! What if he's a bomb!?" Sonia snapped. "I'm not a bomb...why do you peo...uh guys keep thinking I'm some kind of Terminator?" Yamato asked, tired of all the things Leo accused him of. "He admitted! He's here to kill us!" Leo roared. "He is with Eggman!" "Leo, shut up!" Everyone but the unlucky human shouted back at him as that one was the loudest of the day. "Actually, we also have another one." Amu spoke "Another human" Sonia asked still pointed her keyboard blaster at Yamato. "Not exactly." She looked towards the other direction and was shocked to see a human fox boy sleeping at the patient bed with a soft towel as a plushy to sleep. "A human and fox hybrid, well that's one thing you don't see everyday hear." Sonia muttered as the young boy then finally woke up. "Ah~ Man, what knocked me out.." Flash muttered rubbing his eyes as he then looked around to see his surroundings, "yup it's not a dream," Flash muttered. "Ahh," Sonia screamed then pointed her blaster at flash who creeped out and fall back and the got up and hid behind Yamato. "We don't even know this Eggman person…" Yamato sighed. "Oh really?" A wise voice spoke. Everyone turned their heads to see a figure enter. She looked like Sonia, but a bit taller with periwinkle quills/fur instead of the magenta fur of Sonia. Her eyes were a soft emerald while she wore an elegant silver regal dress trimmed in gold. On top of her pulled back hair was a gold crown with various jewels embedded into it. "Aleena-sama!?" The four shouted in shock. "What? This is my house." She said as she looked at them. "This is...a castle?" Yamato blinked, looking around but keeping his pillow shield up...it was actually kind of funny seeing him do that. "Indeed," the hedgehog replied, hiding her small smile behind a hand at Yamato's action, "Sonia, put the blaster away. And Roll, would you please come out of hiding? It's safe." "H-Hai, Aleena-Joou-sama." The hedgefox peeked out from behind the double doors to the room and walked out. She wore a pair of jeans with heart going up the outer sides and a jean skirt over that, both held up by two pink belts connected by a silver heart-shaped buckle. She wore a pink shirt with a heart on the chest, stretched out by her ample bosom. She played with her hair a bit, avoiding the green bow in it. Aleena then walked up to Yamato.Flash saw her coming as he hid behind Yamato for safe cover. "Oh, You must be the Human hybrid." Aleena saw Flash who was still hiding from her." You can come out, I won't hurt you." But he still didn't. "Gomen, But he's scared from before because of he got attacked." Yamato told. Everyone else looked at Leo who looked at them then soon pointed at him self. The others nodded on that. "Don't worry, we won't hurt you." Roll told him but he still won't come. Roll looked at Flash and soon slowly came towards him."Ano, You don't need to be afraid, We won't hurt you,"Roll spoke in a kind toon. Flash finally looked at her who looked back. For some reason Flash can trust her," Don't worry, the lion man won't hurt you. Right Leo!" She demanded, "Hi!Hi!" Leo quickly spoke. "See, he won't hurt you. You can come out from hiding." Roll told Flash who took a second and finally came out of hiding."See not so hard." Flash just simply nodded and stand with Yamato. The others now see his blue hair and yellow tail. But something was bugging them. "Hey Roll, He kinda looks like you." Amu pointed out. "He does," Roll asked she then looked at him and her the only matching thing was her ears and tail nothing else." No we're only same by tails and ears nothing else is same." "Does the name 'Robotnik' mean anything to you?" She asked the human. "No...it doesn't. I'm sorry." Yamato said as he slowly stood up. "It sounds like a name...but not one I've heard back home." "Would you mind giving me the thing shining in your pocket?" She asked, holding her hand out. "Huh?" He blinked as he reached into his discarded jacket's pocket and pulled his lucky charm out. "You mean my charm?" He blinked. "Ahh!" The four blinked as they pulled out four of the exact same charm. "This has been missing for years now," Aleena noted. "Does this mean the human stole it?" Leo asked. "I do not believe it to be such as that. He would have been but a child back when it went missing," Aleena replied. "Oh…" everyone blinked at that fact. Yamato honestly didn't look all that much older than them when the cube disappeared.Flash looked at the cube and then took out his surprising them. "Wait you have one to!" Leo yelled. "How can this be. Only one cube went missing." Aleena asked,'But one was with her that time. Don't tell me.' Elena mentally thought. "Wait where did he get that." Tusk asked . "Ano...I got this when I was a child." Yamato spoke up, "Flash had his when he was a baby, so I don't know about him and I don't remember a lot...but I remember I was lost in the forest...then a strange bird...man gave me this…" he explained slowly as he held it close. "A Mobian from Zyuland most likely." "Mobian? Zyuland?" Flash repeated. "Welcome to planet Mobius and the pinnacle country, Zyuland." Aleena bowed. "Ah hai...I'm going to faint now…" Yamato said as he fell over from shock. Flash simply looked at him and then back at them. "Roll, pillow." Aleena sighed as Yamato fell. "Hai, Aleena-Joou-sama." Flash simply stood there just seeing this not sure what to do. "Okay...everything should be set up," a rather rotund, egg-shaped man noted as he moved back from a computer console, running a hand through his large orange mustache, "Cubot! Orbot!" At that, two machines came forward. One was a red orb while the other was a yellow cube. Both then opened and unfolded to reveal themselves to be robots with blue optics and lights acting as mouths. They also had rather misfitting five fingered hands in comparison to their ergonomic bodies. "All weapon systems are fully operational, Lord Eggman," the orb-shaped bot explained. "Good…" the man nodded before looking at the cube shaped bot, "and the EggPawns and Badniks?" "Arrr...We get them in ship-shape condition, me captain!" the cube-shaped robot replied. "...Ugh...I thought we finally fixed that problem with his voice chip," Eggman facepalmed. "Yes, but...well, after that whole Lost Hex and Zeti Incident…" Orbot began. "Enough!" Eggman shouted as he moved past the two robots, "Prepare for take off! Today's the day I finally destroy that blasted Hedgehog and his little group of Freedom Fighters!" "About that, Lord Eggman." Orbot spoke up suddenly, holding up a finger, "We've been monitoring the city of Zyuland...and well we found an anomaly. The ancient artifact known as the 'Link Cube'...well it..." "It be glowing!" Cubot stated bluntly, "Then it spit out another two fleshbags!" "Hmm?" Eggman raised a brow at that, "...Another human, you say? And there two of them ...Well then…" a smirk grew on his face as he sat down on a metal, egg-shaped chair, "Let's see if we can recruit them for our little cause." "And if they refuses?" "Either Roboticize them, or turn them into a member of my Egg Army," Eggman stated, "But enough about that, l-" "Let's set sail!" Cubot declared, pointing out to the distance with a wrench, "Bring me that horizon!" "...Orbot, remind me to change his voice chip after this is over." "Of course, Lord Eggman." "Oh...my sanity…" Yamato mumbled, waking up once again and taking in his surroundings. "Daijobu?" Yamato looked to his left to see the hedgefox looking at him, an apple in mid-peeling in her hand. While Flash was standing with her. "You're...Roll-san right?" he asked as he slowly sat up. "Hai...it's just..a lot to take in. An entire new world, filled with animals who are smart as any human...Not to sound rude, it's just...in my world only humans are like this. I believe the term is culture shock." "Soka…" Roll nodded before offering a slice of the peeled apple to him, "You're the second human we've ever seen on Mobius and Your the first human hybrid we have seen hear." "So...we weren't the first human to enter your world then?" Flash asked, slowly taking it and taking a bite, "Umai…" he said, happily eating the rest. "Hai, though from what I've seen...it would've been better if you had been the first human we met," Roll replied, a dark scowl passing her face almost unnoticingly. "Is this other human….a bad person?" Yamato asked carefully. "The worst," Roll replied, "He...He's done unspeakable horrors to Mobius during the last two decades he's been here." "Soka…" Yamato and Flash nodded slowly in understanding. "Demo…! You don't seem to be like him," Roll quickly added, "You seem like a nice person and you seem to be around kids often from what I can smell." "Arigato...I promise you Roll-san, I promise you...we will will never try to harm anyone here. I like animals...I want to protect them. Even if it's not exactly the same, we would never want to harm anyone in your world, to want to harm such a wonderful world like this...I can't call a person like that human." Yamato explained. "A person from your world clearly helped me when I most needed it...so your world must be full of amazing and kind people." "And I'm mostly half of your kind, I think so I can understand a little bit still. It's still feel different but I promise I won't harm anyone, I promise." Flash reassured. "Arigatou," Roll smiled, "...Ano...What did you two do in your world?" she gave a small sniff, "Both Your scent have children and animals in it." "I'm a Zoologist, I study all animal life on Earth...but really, I just act as a tour guide to people at a nature preserve I live on. I live in a big treehouse with my Uncle Mario. Ever since I met the bird man from your world, I've wanted to find a way to thank him...working with animals just made sense at the time." he explained as he sat up fully before gently swinging his legs off the bed he was laying in. "And I'm mostly half fox so I talk to animals alot and I can understand them and mostly go to the jungle to do some training." Flash explained "Sugoi…" Roll awed, "Oh! Please, follow me. Aleena-Joou-sama asked me to escort you two to the throne room when you awoke." "Soka." Yamato nodded before she handed him his shirt which was cleaned and fixed up. "Arigato...Ah, you fixed the holes your friend made with his claws." he smiled, putting on the t-shirt before his red jacket. Roll nodded, "I've had practice with my nii-chan's clothes when his clothes rip in small accidents." she opened the door, "Right this way, sir." "Right." Both nodded, following her down the hall. Neither noticed four heads peering from around the corner of the hall. "Why are we still here?" Tusk asked in a bored tone. "Well...Tusk and Leo hurt and insulted Human-kun and Half human-kun, so we need to make you apologize." Amu stated simply. "What?! Why do I got to apologize?!" Leo demanded only for Sela to punch the side of his head and slam him into the tile floor face first. "Hai...I'll say sorry." "Yay!" Amu cheered before looking at Tusk expectantly. "Wha...ugh…" he groaned slapping his forehead with his trunk. "Fine...I'll say sorry." "Yay!" Amu clapped her hands. "You better mean it, too." Sela threatened, holding her fist up to Tusk's face. Eventually, Roll opened a pair of large double doors that Yamato was sure that she shouldn't have been able to open on her own. Inside was a luxurious throne room with four thrones standing side-by-side with Aleena, the blue hedgehog, Sonia, and a green hedgehog in a red vest, an off-white wifebeater, and jeans with rips in the knee areas sitting in them. "Domo…" Yamato awkwardly waved his greeting to them all. "Hello.." Flash just greeted them all aswell. "Thank you for bringing our guests here, Roll. Please, stay with us," Aleena thanked. "Arigatou, Aleena-Joou-sama," Roll bowed. "We humbly apologize for the actions of our subjects in the way they handled the situation," Aleena apologized. "No..it's fine. Roll-san told me about the other human you've met. I don't blame you for feeling worried...I'm sorry, really I am. I'm sorry that the first human your kind met...and it was someone so cruel." "We accept your apology," Sonia nodded. "But please, next time be a little more careful. I don't want to hurt anyone." Flash told. "Yeah sorry about that." Sonia said apologizing for what happened before. "So what are both your name dudes?" the green hedgehog asked as he picked his ear with his pinkie. "Manic," Sonia whispered in annoyance. "What? Did the dudes who brought them here even bother asking for these dude's names?" Manic asked. "Yamato...Kazakiri Yamato." Yamato bowed his head respectfully. "Sentry... Flash Sentry." Flash bower aswell. "We are the Council of Four. I am Queen Aleena and these are our children; Prince Sonic, the eldest," Aleena motioned to the blue hedgehog, who was avoiding looking at the hedgefox, "Princess Sonia, the middle," Sonia gave a small wave, "And Prince Manic, the youngest." "Sup?" Manic gave a mock salute. "Ah. It's a pleasure to meet you all," Yamato bowed again, "This is the first time I've been in front of royalty…" he chuckled, scratching his cheek. "Dudes, it's fine. Just relax," Manic chuckled. "We have but a few questions to ask before we try to help you two find a way to your world," Aleena informed. "Of course…" Yamato nodded. "Arigatou.." Flash told. "What were you two doing before you ended up here? 'Cause Amu, Leo, and Sis-in-Law all smelled kids and animals on you," Manic noted, ignoring the look he got from Sonic. "Oh...I work as a Zoologist...I study animals in my world. But I mostly work as a tour guide for families. Kids like to hang around me for some reason." he chuckled, "It's not the most respected of works, but I love it. I love taking care of the animals in the forest, and I love the smiles of the families that come to see them." he admitted. "...Yup," Manic spoke up as he looked at Sonic, "This dude's the total opposite of Eggman." "Yeah, yeah," Sonic muttered. Aleena giggled with Sonia, "Loving your job is an important part of any job and you flash." "Well... I'm mostly go to the jungle and train myself with the art of Shinobi and kung fu. And mostly good at parkour and love to talk to animals." Flash told. "Wait, your a Shinobi like sis-in-law." Manic asked in surprised toon Roll was also surprised. "Yup, I have trained my self at the forest at the art of kung fun aswell, and mostly know a lot of jitsu to fight." Flash explained. "Wait, wait, wait, your saying you know tye jitsu stuff that sis-in-law knows and trained her self with... Your saying you can do that aswell." Manic asked interested so we're the others. "Hai it's true, I seen him train and believe me, if his animal instinct wouldn't have kicked in. His Shinobi instinct would and he could have burned the lion mobian, Leo I presume, would have been burned alive." Yamato told surprising them. "Wait, really," sonic asked. "Yup." "Sugoi" Roll spoke."so your just like me." "Well kinda, I'm half mobian, I think so I don't know still." "Well if you kinda see it, He was sleeping with a soft towel which you use aswell Roll to sleep." Sonia told "Really? Sakura do that alot aswell." Roll said as she looked at flash and start to see the difference and same things. "That…" Sonia began before a siren began to go off. "Nani kore?" Yamato asked before a pair of guards ran in. "Your majesties! Eggman's forces have been spotted approaching the city limits!" one of the guards informed. "They're approaching by the northeast, near the Link Cube!" the other added. "Eggman…" Roll growled before going off in a yellow blur. "Fast…" Yamato and Flash gawked at seeing that before a blue blur shot by them, causing Yamato to spin around until the guards halted his spin, "Ar...arigato…" he said slowly, his eyes replaced with spirals. "Activate the defenses and prepare for battle!" Aleena ordered as Sonia and Manic ran off, "Mr. Kazakiri and Mr Sentry, please come with me for your safety." "Hai?" he blinked looking at her before he began walking with her. "Is this...that Eggman person?" he asked. "...Yes," Aleena nodded slowly before looking up, "Nicole, give a status report on what's going on outside." =The turrets outside the city limits were knocked out by a EMP= a voice spoke up =Already setting up a barrier outside the city gates and the soldiers that were on patrol in the city are evacuating the citizens to the nearest underground shelters= "Thank you, Nicole," Aleena nodded. "Nicole?" Yamato asked silently, thinking it just someone in a room or something. Flash just simply fallowed. "Orbot, Cubot, how close are we to the targets?" Eggman asked/ordered. "It is within range," Orbot replied as he pointed to a screen, showing the Link Cube, "And it seems the soldiers are already making a defense perimeter around them." "Typical...so...where's those humans?" Eggman asked as he kept moving the way he was going. "Hm...not there." Orbot stated, making Eggman hit the breaks and send both Orbot himself and Cubot fly out of their seats and into a tree. "Then what was the point of coming this way first?!" he shouted at the two before robot extending arms picked them up. "Find me those humans first!" "Arr! Leave it t-" Cubot began before Eggman smacked him upside the head, "D'oh...Cubot'z head hurtz~" "...Just find me the humans," Eggman pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. "Of course/Yezz, Lord Eggman!" the two robots replied as Eggman let them go, letting the two fly off...though, Cubot kept bumping into a few trees as he tried to control his flying. "...ugh...I knew I should've brought one of my Egg Bosses with me," Eggman groaned before a blur shot past him, causing him to spin a bit in place, "Grr...And then there's this annoying blue rat!" "Wrong color, you bastard!" Eggman blinked at the very feminine voice before looking to see the blur had been Roll, a katana unsheathed and aimed at him. "...Who're you supposed to be? Another of Sonic's fan girls?" he asked unimpressed. "It doesn't matter," Roll replied, "All you need to know is that I will be killing you here and now." "Ooh...like I haven't heard that one over a hundred times before. Listen, I'd love to play games but I'm looking for humans. You know, a being that doesn't have hair over 100 percent of their body." he stated while leaning forward and rolling his hand dramatically. Roll became a blur and Eggman moved his vehicle out of the way before one of the wings on it was severed. "There's no games with me," Roll replied, "Not around a monster like you." "..Listen; I'm giving you a warning," Eggman began as he snapped his fingers, causing some robots to appear out of the woods, "You tell me where the humans are, and I might not have you captured and turned into a soldier for one of my Egg Bosses...or Roboticize you. Either way works." "..." Roll ran a hand along the edge of the katana, causing a scarlet energy to flare off the blade, "Kaosu…" she sheathed the katana, "...Giri!" In a blur, she repeatedly sheathed and unsheathed the blade, each strike unleashing a blade of the energy to shoot out and tear apart the robots around Eggman, the last slash managing to graze his cheek and draw blood. She flicked her katana and frowned as it shattered. "Kuso...That blade couldn't handle it either," Roll frowned. "Well...that was a good response...and to that I say...RUN!" he shouted, flying the other way. "Get back here and die!" Roll snarled as she made the chase before a blue blur slammed her into a tree and chased after Eggman, "Gh…! D-Don't get in my way…" she ran after them, grabbing one of the scrapped robot's blades on her way past them. "What's going on out there?" Yamato asked,, seeing small explosions in the distance. "I hope no one has gotten hurt…" Flash said. "Getting hurt is the least of the worries of the soldiers out there," Aleena noted, "It is if they are captured that worries them more." "..." Yamato and Flash just gave a very worried look out the window at that. He was so intent on looking outside he didn't pay attention to the guard who made his way over to them. "Joou-sama." he panted slowing down, "Eggman has suddenly turned around, it seems he is making his way here." "?! He must be after Mr. Kazakiri and Sentry," Aleena realized. "It would make sense...another real human in Mobius after so long." the guard agreed as they looked at the sad looking Yamato, "Most likely...he wants to recruit them." Aleena nodded before placing a hand on Yamato's,and a hand on Flash shoulder "Do not blame yourself for this. What's happened had happened, but we need to keep you two safe from him." "Soka…" Yamato nodded his head at that. Aleena nodded. At that, everyone heard screaming and something that sounded like a motor. They all looked outside to see a flying ship with Eggman and his two sidekicks as they flew around all wobbly. It appeared his ship was damaged. "Ow...my head. Cubot? Are you alright?" Orbot asked. "I am Groot..." Cubot replied, a small twig sticking out of his head as he floated up. "I'll Groot you!" Eggman shouted as his ship moved around even more erratically as he let go of the controls to throttle the cube shaped robot. Orbot grabbed the steering device to try his best from keeping it from flying into the wall and window Yamato and Aleena were currently staring at this scene from. "That's...Eggman?" Yamato asked in surprise. "How can a human...look like that?" Flash asked in surprise before he realized they were coming right at him. "Look out!" Both shouted, Yamato grabbing Aleena and shoving her out of the way as the vehicle crashed into the window and then the wall. ...ow…" three voices groaned from the downed vehicle. "Daijobu?" Yamato asked in worry to the Queen. "I am fine," Aleena replied as the guard stood ready to protect them, "Thank you, Mr. Kazakiri." "Orbot! Damage report!" Eggman snapped from the smoking wreckage. "It's broken." Orbot explained simply. "I am...Groot!" Cubot stated. "I can see that!" Eggman snapped before he noticed Yamato, "...Oh. Well, this makes things so much easier then." "Omae...you're Eggman?" he asked standing up and revealing that he was standing a good head taller than him. "Yes...yes I am," Eggman replied as he stood up, dusting himself off, "A pleasure to meet you mister...uh…" "Yamato." "Right. A pleasure to meet you, mister Yamato," Eggman stated as Orbot and Cubot floated beside him, "Now then...I have a proposition for you." Eggman spoke but soon looked at Flash and soon was surprised and shocked,"Well, what do we have hear. A human and mobian hybrid. How interesting, and you look like the Fox girl that attacked me." Eggman told as he examined Flash up and down." You can become a fine specimen for my research on this boy. And I have a good proposal for you and him." Flash looked at Eggman for a moment. He began breathing harder from the amount of adrenaline pumping through him right now. The human body produces it upon stimulation of excitement...and anger. Flash quickly closed his hand as he took a deep breath and looked at Eggman with a hard glare. "We...don't want to hear any nonsense from a man like you!" Flash shouted before he swung his arm forward at Eggman's face. "Eep…" CRACK! Eggman was sent spinning around before falling to the ground, his nose broken from the punch. Eggman groaned in pain, unable to get up. Aleena and the guard were staring at Flash in surprise while Orbot and Cubot zipped over to the downed egg-shaped man. "You've tormented these people...you've hurt them far more than anyone ever has." Yamato stated, "How can anybody call themselves a human after doing so many vile things!?" "Wow...that's gonna hurt in the morning…" Orbot stated as Cubot poked Eggman, making him groan with each poke. "...Do not anger me…" Eggman groaned as he got back up, "Cubot...play the video." "I am Groot…" Cubot stated as his mouth widened, showing an image of sorts of a large metallic base. "See this? This is my empire," Eggman stated, "I have an entire army's worth of robots at my disposal, and my own personal army of Mobians I call my Egg Army. Should you refuse or go against me…" the image changed to a Mobian stuck within a machine of sorts, screaming out in pain before they were completely changed into a robot, "You will be Roboticized, obeying every order I make with no free will…" "Omae...omae...zettai ni...yurusanai!" Yamato roared at him making him jump. "You did this to living creatures! You're not a person who can get away with that!" he shouted at Eggman more. "Ooh..all humans have a lot of anger…" Orbot said, hiding behind Cubot. "I am Groot…" Cubot agreed, despite his mouth being a screen at the moment. "A man like you...should never have come to a place as amazing as this." Flash stated, still clearly angry at Eggman, "And you….you have the nerve...the GALL to think that I would join a monster like you?!" "Now you listen here, you no good…" Eggman began, only to blink as another punch hit his face making him spin in place. "Aaahhhh…" he groaned, falling over again. "Ow…" Yamato said, shaking his hand as he put too much force into that one. "Nice punch, but gonna take time to handle the pain.." Flash complemented. "...You two ...just made….a very fatal mistake, boy…" Eggman frowned dangerously as he stood up, his glasses falling off as he glared at Yamato and Flash, revealing his eyes being a pure red while the sclera was a pure black. "?!" Yamato's eyes widened at seeing his eyes. "You're...not normal…" he realized. "What gave it away.." Flash muttered. "Before I crashed, I sent out a few Badniks to the Link Cube," Eggman stated, "Should anyone try to pry them off, they will release an explosion that would total half the city…" he then pointed at Aleena and Yamato, "Should any of you try to attack me, I will have them go off, destroying both half the city, and the Link Cube itself." "..." Yamato took a step back at that. But Flash was on his guard. "Good. Now…" "Nicole, initiate Protocol Expel," Aleena spoke, a frown evident on her face. "?! You...I warned you! I…" =You warned both mr. Kazakiri, mr. Sentry and the queen…= the voice spoke as a swirl of data appeared in front of him, the data forming into a Mobian Lynx with a purple top held by a black collar on her neck, black skin-tight pants on her lower half, and a white skirt, a frown evident on her face, "You however did not tell that to me." "You…" Eggman began before the wall behind the lynx came to life, forming into a stone fist before it slammed into him, sending the man flying into the distance, both Cubot and Orbot flying after him. "Thank you, Nicole." "You're welcome, Queen Aleena," Nicole bowed her head a bit to the female hedgehog, the stone fist melding back into the wall. "Sugoi…" Yamato awed at that. "An...AI?" he asked, looking at Nicole. "Wow , I only sent them in the movies." Flash awed seeing Nicole. "That is correct, Mr. Kazakiri and Mr. Sentry," Nicole nodded in response, "My name is Nicole, and I helped create the city you now stand in." "S-Sugei…" Flash awed before he blinked. "Matte...Eggman said he sent machines to the Link Cube…" "I already sent out a warning to Sonic and the guardians," Nicole stated, "Roll is...notably annoyed that Eggman was sent flying." "Ano…" Yamato asked. "You don't need to be concerned with it," Aleena informed quickly, "Nicole, please keep an eye on the Link Cube and give continuing coverage of the process of removing his robots from the area." "Of course, your majesty," Nicole nodded as she disappeared in a swirl of data. "Sugoi…" Yamato said, still in amazement of that. It was something just so out of...well his world, "How…?" "I think it's Nanites that make her work" Flash theorized. =Yes it's Nanites, Mr. Kazakiri= Nicole answered. "Oh…" Yamato muttered, surprised she was still able to hear him. "I think it's best we move somewhere else." Aleena said as she began walking. "Hai…" Yamato nodded, Both following her, the guard quick in following. "I got it!" Leo shouted, tearing apart a robot with his claws. For added effect, he even began chomping on its head unit. "Grr…" he growled before spitting it out. "I hate the taste of those things…" "Then stop trying to eat them!" Tusk shouted as he lifted a robot...well, several, up above his head before tossing them up into the air. "And learn to control yourself…" Sela stated as she tore a robot apart, freeing the bird that was trapped inside, "There are still animals trapped inside these Badniks." "I nrow dat…" Leo muttered, holding a chunk of robot in his jaw before crushing it and letting a bird free. "See?" "Leo...that still could be held back." Amu said as she kicked a head off one of the Badniks. She then swung her hands quickly, cutting a hole open in it and letting a bunny out. "Hai, Usagi-chan." she said, scooping it up before her tail grabbed a Badnik and slammed it into the ground. "Amu...you don't need to pick up all of them." Tusk said, stomping the head of one. "But...it's so fluffy and cute." she countered, holding the bunny up to his face. "And most likely missing its family," Tusk countered as he grabbed a bee-themed Badnik that tried to shoot at him, using it to slam into a crab themed Badnik, freeing both a small skunk and penguin. Tusk then grabbed his Trunk, "Ah...why a skunk?!" he complained. The skunk huffed a bit at that as it walked off into the woods. "There are so many…" Sela complained as she chopped a badnik in half with her hand, "Eggman seems determined today." she sighed as Leo walked up, gnawing at another Badnik. "Leo…" "What...I like making sure it's dead." he explained, spitting it out as a bird flew out of it, "See?" Sela facepalmed before backhanding a Badnik that attempted a sneak attack, releasing another bunny from its wrecked cranium. "Aw~" Amu cooed, picking it up with the one in her hand already. "Look...they're twins!" she beamed before letting them go with the rest. She then stopped a badnik that was charging at her before she slid under its legs. It then turned around only to get two boots to it's chest sending it flying to Leo, who shredded it to scrap with his claws again. "Why is Eggman after the Link Cube now all of a sudden?" Tusk complained as his trunk grew out to a great length and he used it to whip several badniks sending them falling over. "My guess is because it activated," Amu noted. "What...no way that's it. I bet he just wants a paper weight." Leo stated, crossing his arms. "Yeah, that's totally why!" "Just because that's what you would do with it, doesn't mean everyone would." Sela stated before she kicked a badnik through the chest freeing another bird, "Plus...most likely, he would try to use its power to conquer Mobius. And given his track record with ancient items, it'll most likely backfire on him pretty badly." "He never learns," Amu shook her head. "Still, we can't allow him to get this one." Tusk stated, "Though...not that it matters. Aleena-sama has the last cube the human brought with him. So Eggman can't make it work either way ." "But wait about the other Cube which the Hybrid brought with him." Sela stated making tusk tense. "..." Leo let out a loud roar, startling the others, before he held up his tail where one of the badniks was biting at it, "Why do they always go for the tail?!" A mantis-themed Badnik was coming at him from behind, about to slice him with its blades, before a blue blur smashed into it, freeing the animal trapped inside. The blur shot about, destroying more Bandiks and freeing the animals within before it skidded to a halt before the four, revealing Sonic. "Is it just me or has Eggman become...sorta predictable with objects of ancient power?" Sonic asked. "Yes...it's almost sad," Sela said as Leo yanked the Badnik off before he yanked the skunk inside out before he punted it off into the distance. "Stop going for my tail!" he roared. *slice* Leo looked behind him to see another Bandik that seemed to have been trying to go for his tail split down the middle, the bird inside flying away quickly. "Thanks, Roll," Leo thanked as Roll cleaved another in two with her swiped blade. "Another sword broke?" Tusk asked. "Hai. I almost had him, too," Roll grumbled. "That's like...what, the 15th sword you've broken," Leo noted, "Why can't you get a sword like Sonic's?" "Dunno if there are any like Caliburn…" Sonic shrugged at that before looking at his sword, "Though I don't think they'd be as talkative." "As long as they don't all do the cut your hand off thing…" Leo muttered. "That is what happens when you tried to pick me up to use me to scratch thy butocks," Caliburn stated. "Oh one time! One freaking time!" Leo snapped at that, "A man gets a scratchy ass once and looks for any random thing and picks up the wrong thing and never hears the end of it!" he roared louder and louder, the sound causing many of the badniks to begin sparking until they fell over. "The messed up part is that freakin sword was better than Sela's scale comb!" he roared, making some badniks explode from how loud he was ranting. "You what?" Leo froze at the loaded question. "Ah...yabai…" SD Leo complained, looking back at an angry Sela. "Tusk told me to!" he shouted, only for fist to meet face, sending him flying into a larger badnik and through its chest. "Dugaw!" Leo cried before he crashed into a trashcan. "And it's good," Roll informed as Amu applauded. "You know I would never say that," Tusk shook his head as the Giant Badnik exploded. "Well...that's the last of them…" "Leo-kun's super rant fried their cheaply made circuits." Amu stated as she began using a hammer to crack the badniks open to free the little animals. "Nice thinking of reminding him of that, Caliburn-sama," Roll noted as she pried Badniks open with her sword. "Thank ye, Lady Roll," Caliburn replied as he was being used by Sonic to cut open the Badniks to free the animals inside. A small clang went off from Caliburn hitting Roll's swiped blade. The two holders looked at one another before they looked away from each other, stabbing the Badnik and freeing the startled fox inside, before moving away from each other. "Kawai!" Amu cheered, picking it up before she looked at the two. "Those two...are very transparent, aren't they?" she asked cutely as she stoked the fox's fur. "Help...Amu! Someone turned off the sun again!" Leo cried as he ran around with a garbage bucket stuck to his head. He then crashed into the remains of the giant badnik as Tusk picked up the baby elephant that was used to power it. "I'm enjoying this...no matter how wrong it is." Tusk stated plainly as he petted the baby animal to calm it down. "Well, at least nothing bad happened this time," Sela muttered. "Sela-chan...doshte…" Amu cried as she began shaking her friend. "Why do you hate us...why must you tease and taunt fate like that?" she asked crying into her shoulder. "Excuse me?" "I believe Lady Amu is trying to say...how did the knave put it? Oh yes...that thou has jinxed it," Caliburn stated. "Wait, what?" Sela blinked twice. "...Huh...nothing h-" Sonic began before Eggman flew into the area, riding a backup of his machine as his nose was bandaged up, "...I spoke too soon." "...mmm…" Eggman frowned as he looked at the wreckage of his Badniks. "Grr…" Leo growled as he ripped the garbage can to shreds, tired of the thing, "Aha! I turned the sun back on!" "Eggman…" Roll growled. "How...just...ugh…" Eggman groaned, rubbing his eyes. "First that upstart punk of hybrid brake my nose and then another human breaks me nose…" "Go Flash and Yamato." they all said in unison at hearing that. "And my Badniks have been torn to shreds!" Eggman complained, "Ugh...Nevermind. Good thing I brought a back up plan with me. Burnbot!" "Burn wh-" Leo began before a fairly large robot landed next to Eggman, the machine decked in gunmetal black and red armor, "oh…" he meowed out in surprise. "Burnbot, huh…" Sonic noted as he looked at it, 'So...what's this one do? Fire missles?" "No." "Does it have a flamethrower?" Amu asked this time. "No." "Let me guess, it…" Sonic began. "No! It has claws! Very painful claws!" Eggman snapped as Burnbot snapped its razor sharp claws. "Then why da hell you name it Burnbot?!" Leo shouted, tossing a rock at Eggman's face. Before it could hit Eggman, the Burnbot's claws were a blur, shredding it to bits, the rubble landing on the ground and spelling its name. Leo meowed in fear at seeing that. "Aha!" Amu thought of an idea as she grabbed Leo's tail. "Oi, Amu?" "Sorry," she said before chomping down with her large fangs. "?!" Leo's eyes began watering before he opened his jaw. "GAAAAOOOOOOO!" he roared, unleashing a huge shockwave that knocked the robot over and Eggman out of the air. "Ah...my tail! Why...why my tail?! It's my most awesome part!" he cried, rolling around in pain. "Bleh…" Amu coughed, "Ah...Leo...hasn't showered...for 5 months…" she coughed. "Again?" Sela questioned, "I thought the last time we got him clean, it stuck." "I don't like showers...it messes up my mane." Leo complained, holding his dreadlocks. "Why you…" Eggman grunted. "Die!" Roll roared as she lunged at Eggman, blade poised to strike before Sonic parried her blade. "We're not killing him!" Sonic argued, "We're taking him alive." "...Are you?" Eggman spoke up, pressing a button on the console of his machine, causing Burnbot's chest to open up, revealing a countdown timer as it began to go down, "In less than 10 minutes, Burnbot will explode, taking you all with it! Oh, and don't bother deactivating it..once Burnbot shuts off, his systems are locked, preventing anyone from hacking it!" "Onore!" Roll snarled. "Sonic, please tell me Tails is on his way," Leo said. "Not sure…" Sonic grunted out, trying to prevent Roll from getting to Eggman, "Hey, Nicole!" Think you can contain the explosion?!" =I'm sorry, but I am unable to hack the explosives nor Burnbot's systems. It's completely shut down= Nicole apologized. "Damn..." Sonic cursed, "Then what're we supposed to do?" =Manic is on his way with Sonia, carrying a generator to see if we can force it to activate= Nicole replied. "Good. tell them to hurry," Sonic said as he looked at the timer, which read 6:00 as it slowly went down, still holding Roll back from Eggman, "We only got a few minutes left." "Drat…" Leo muttered seeing that. "What do we do Tusk?" "It's like Nicole said...if we can't shut it down...our only options are move it away...or somehow remove all the air around it." Tusk groaned, scratching his head. "Hm…" Amu muttered before she looked at the Link cube. "What if we lock it inside the dimensional gateway between worlds, so it doesn't explode in either our world or Yamato-kun's world?" she offered, making everyone...even a flabbergasted Eggman gawk at her. "What...I passed physics class without having to copy off Tusk." "...Nicole?" Sonic spoke up. "It does seem very plausible," Nicole noted as she appeared next to him. "If my calculations are correct, if we send it in at just the right moment then pull one of the King Credentials out, it will be trapped in the tunnel between worlds. Since there is no space or matter to be affected by the explosion, damage will be the maximum of minimal, however that's not even considering the ripple effect on the gate way." she explained at a moderate tone but fast enough to not let the timer get the best of them. "Currently the last Credential is in the hands of the Queen and she is with Mr. Yamato." "She doesn't know that Flash has one aswell." Sela whisper to tusk who nodded. "Wha...I...but that's not fair…" Eggman sputtered. "Calm breaths, sir…" Orbot advised as he floated next to him, Cubot holding out a stress ball. "Well...do or die time...literally." Sonic muttered. "The lives of our people or the Link Cube...the answer is clear." Tusk sighed. "We need the final Kings Credential. Even if we get the generator in time...there is no guarantee Nicole can totally shut down the bomb, Eggman might have a dead switch for manual triggering." "He can't trigger it if I lop his head off," Roll noted, swinging at Eggman only for Sonic to parry again. "No one is dying." Sonic stated. "Sonic...move...now," Roll ordered, a dangerous look in her eyes. "Now is so not the time for this!" he countered, not at all bothered by the look. "Sonic's right...Now is not the time for any of this idiocy…" Tusk sighed, "I feel sick just saying I agree with the idiot…" "Well the feeling is shared, Rich-boy!" Sonic growled in annoyance. "Nicole, how fast can Aleena-sama get here with the final Kings Credential?" Tusk ignored Sonic now. "Hmm...on foot, five minutes. With fast enough transport...two and a half minutes." "And we're already down to three minutes," Tusk noted, looking at the slowly ticking timer. "Meaning we have only one option...and killing Eggman isn't one of them. We need to get the Kings Credential here and then shove that sorry excuse of a robot into the portal." he stated, "The only viable option is Sonic use his top speed and go pick it up...or the entire city will go up with Eggman." he worded in a way that would stop the little stalemate going on between Roll and Sonic. "..." Roll grit her teeth but backed away, "Once the robot's gone, I'm killing him." "If you don't get to, I'll do it! But we've got family to think about!" Leo roared. "I consider you my hand in killing him when you do," Roll nodded before her eyes widened, "Oh! My Kaa-chan is still at the castle with Tails-san. I'll call her and they can get here with the cube quick." "At this point, anything would be useful!" Sela complained as she kept a good watch on the timer. Roll reached into her shirt and pulled out a touch-screen phone, quickly dialing, "Kaa-san, go find Aleena-Joou-sama and tell her there's a bomb at the Link Cube. ...Hai, I'm here. ...Hai, he's here." she flipped Eggman off, "Hai, I flipped him off for you. Now hurry!" "I hate these kinds of close calls…" Tusk groaned. "You and me both," Sela agreed. "My only regret...I never got to force Roll and Sonic together." Amu stated, making everyone just face fault. "We aren't going to die," Tusk snorted. "Oh, let me be dramatic." Amu pouted. "Just get the Kings Credential!" Tusk shouted. "Okay, he should be…" Aleena began as they entered a hangar before a figure tackled Aleena. "Found you!" Yamato looked at the figure and blinked twice. The Mobian fox was rather shapely with ample child-bearing hips with an impressive bosom. She wore a magenta blouse and a maroon skirt ending at her knees, her shapely slim legs covered in magenta stockings. She giggled while moving a lock of her butt-length platinum blond hair back as she got off her, her pink-colored eyes shifting from amusement to urgency. "We need to get to the Link Cube immediately. Eggman has a robot with a bomb in it there that's going to go off and the only way we can not let it result in much of the city destroyed is to toss it into the Link Cube and shut it tight," the fox informed. "Eh…?" Yamato asked. "But...won't that send it to my world?" "Not if we close it immediately after we open it," Tails replied as he walked over, "It'll be stuck in-between and go off in there, damaging nothing." "Just in case, I already have luggage packed," the female fox informed. "Soka...eto…" Yamato blinked looking at Tails. "Who...are the two of you anyway?" "I'm Tails," the two-tailed fox replied. "Watashi wa Sakurai Aphrodite," the fox giggled, "You've already met my adorable daughter, Roll." she proceeded to start pushing the two to a nearby seven-seater plane connected to a comically oversized slingshot aimed right at the Link Cube, three seats already occupied, "Now hurry up! We have about a minute and thirty seconds left to get there before it blows up and this is the best idea we could come up with in getting there in such a short period." "Yamato! Wait up." They heard a yell and saw Flash coming in soon he saw the Mobian female Fox."eh? Ano. Who are you?" Aphrodite simply looked at Flash but suddenly went to him in super speed and Hugged him tight."OH MY KAMI! Your so adorable!" She said while hugging Flash."You look just like my Rolly, except are human and have one tail." "Ah? Thank you.. But can you let me go now." Flash asked. "Oh sorry." She let go,"Watashi wa Sakurai Aphrodite, and who might you be young Human Fox." "Flash...Boku wa Flash Sentry." He introduced, for some reason he felt easy with her. "And what of your kaa-san and tou-san name." Aphrodite soon saw the sad look he developed,she must have triggered something."Oh...Are they.." "Flash doesn't know his parents." Yamato spoke,"His mostly lives with us cause he was found out side my uncle house as a baby that day." He explained Aphrodite looked at Flash," oh poor baby, it must have been hard for you." Aphrodite said. "A bit but Yamato and uncle Mario helped raised me." Flash explained "Well still. It's doesn't explain why you have those cute Fox ears and tail." She said while suddenly holding them making him blush a little," there's so soft and cuddly." "An-Ano. Can you not" Flash asked as she let go. "We can ask that later Aphrodite but we're in Crises remember." Aleena reminded her. "Oh right," she said remembering," So now we need to hurry there." "Eh…?" Yamato gawked at seeing this. "Chotto...this doesn't seem logical at all!" "If something's illogical, then you make it logical," Tails replied, "Plus, we installed airbags in every inch of it." "That doesn't inspire faith…" Flash muttered as he was seated in a chair. "We've done this so much, that this is like a Tuesday," Aleena admitted. "Everyone buckled up?" Tails asked. "The feeling of regret..check." Yamato joked, trying to ease his own tension. "Not the time.." Flash muttered. "No time for a checklist!" Aphrodite informed, pushing a big, red button, causing the slingshot to go off and send the vehicle rocketing out of the castle hangar. "Thirty seconds left," Amu informed. "Don't think you need to worry…" Sela stated, making everyone look at her as she turned around, "They used the slingshot...and someone is new to it." "That explains the screaming I hear," Tusk shook his head, "For a second, it sounded like Haseo when Leo tried teaching him to climb a tree two years ago." "Aunty Aphrodite was really mad at Leo for that," Amu recalled as Leo shuddered. "Ugh…" he muttered before looking up. "Uh...what's their landing strategy again?" "Landing...strategy?" they all asked before their eyes widened. "Duck and cover!" Tusk shouted, jumping to the side. "Meep!" Sela and Amu yelped, jumping away with Sonic and Roll going opposite sides. "Wait...wha...CRAP!" Leo roared as the plane hit the ground in front of him, sending him flying into the Link Cube face first. "Ow…." The top open and Aphrodite poked out, holding the Kings Credential, "Hurry-hurry-hurry!" "Good landing," Tusk rolled his eyes before the thrown Kings Credential bonked him square in the face, going into the air and landing perfectly in Amu's hands. "Catch!" she said before she tripped on something, "Kya!" "I got it!" Orbot shouted, grabbing the King Credential. "Punt!" Sela shouted before kicking Orbot, sending him flying into Eggman's face and the King Credential up into the air. "I got it!" Leo shouted as he ran to catch it, only to end up tripping on Cubot, "Gah!" "Cubot, grab it!" Eggman ordered, "EggPawns, distract them and help get me that King's Credential!" With that, a swarm of egg-shaped bots ran out of the woods and surrounded the group, their faces strangely looking like Eggman's. Roll's eye twitched. "Ooh...He really shouldn't have put his faces on them," Aphrodite cringed, slowly sinking into the plane. "He's boned," Leo's muffled voice added, his face stuck in the ground. Cubot grabbed the Kings Credential before Tusk's Trunk slapped the robot and sent him spinning with the cube flying up into the air. A severed EggPawn's head slammed into it, knocking it away from the slaughter of EggPawns orchestrated by a livid hedgefox. "Ten seconds left!" Tails freaked as Manic and Sonia ran over with a generator. "Ah…" Yamato gawked, seeing it flying, "Ore no...omamori…" he said before he jumped out of the plane. He then ran before he jumped over Eggman. He grabbed the falling Kings Credential and rolled on the floor, ending up on his feet. "Yamato?" everyone blinked seeing that. Yamato got the cube but soon a egg bot came and hit him in the back making him lose the cube. "NO!" Everyone yelled. Suddenly a orange blur came and grabbed the cube. The blur revealed to be Flash. "Flash" Flash ran through the bots for the Link Cube before he plugged it in. The Link Cube lit to life before it opened. "Hurry!" he shouted at everyone, making them all jump at the tone of his voice. "Stop messing around and move the bomb in right now!" "...Grr!" Eggman growled, reactivating his vehicle as a pair of large robotic legs and arms popped out of the sides, "Oh no, you don't!" "Please hurry!" Nicole called out, "Five seconds left!" Leo managed to stumble over to the Burnbot and threw it. Flash grabbeds the King Credential and pulled it out just as it entered slamming the link cube shut and making its light dim. Yamato then looked down at the Kings Credential as it began glowing. He then looked at the Link Cube, seeing that it began sparking from within. "What kind of bomb was that?" Yamato asked as the giant cube was rumbling. "Oh, I made it from a few things, including nuclear, atomic, hydrogen, nitroglycerine, and a hefty amount of Chaos Energy," Eggman replied, "Roughly the equivalent to an entire city's size of Chaos Energy." "You what?!" everyone minus Yamato exclaimed. "N...nani?!" a voice from the downed plane freaked as Haseo poked out from it, a military helmet on his head. "Then...what will happen to the Link Cube?" Yamato asked, seeing this. "Guess...it shall be destroyed...forever trapping you here," Nicole explained. "Teme…!" Roll snarled, facing Eggman as she summoned the red energy again on her 'borrowed' blade before it shattered, "...Your swords are shitty." "Then…" Flash muttered, looking at the Kings Credential in his hand as it was glowing in response to the explosion going in inside the Link Cube. "Can't we send the blast somewhere else?" "It is not likely. The Link Cube has other worlds connected to it." Nicole explained. "If I had to come up with anything...perhaps completing the tunnel will offer more room to allow it to let the blast disperse and fade." "So I just have to plug it back in?" Yamato asked calmly as Aphrodite put on a military helmet and ducked into the ship with Manic, Sonia, and Aleena. "There is a slight chance of failure…" she explained. "I have to at least try…" Flash said as he walked over to the Link Cube. "If it's destroyed...then that would mean not only we would be stuck here...but what if people from your world are still trapped there? They could never come home now." he reasoned, making them look at him in surprise. He was more worried at the slight chance Mobians from their world where trapped on Earth. 'A chance...for them to be trapped...a chance...for Sonic to be trapped…' Eggman thought after hearing that, a wide grin starting to grow on his face, "...I like those odds!" "You shut up," Roll growled, throwing the handle and clonking him square on the nose. "GAH!" Eggman yelped, his nose bent at an odd angle, "Why?! Why does everyone keep aiming at my nose today?!" "Well...your hypothesis is sound, Kazakiri Yamato and Flash Sentry." Nicole admitted. "However, it's also possible that if you put the Kings Credential in too soon...the result would be it sucking in everything and everyone within a large vicinity." "You mean the Link Cube would suck in everyone in the city into the human world?" Tusk asked. "More or less…" Nicole replied. "More-More or More Less?" Amu asked. "More More…" "...Now I'm really glad I packed these suitcases," Aphrodite muttered. "Isn't that too convenient?" Sela asked. "Always plan for everything. For example, I have a cable cutters in my bra in case we need cable cutters." "Is your bra some kind of pocket dimension, Aphrodite-san?" Sela asked in a deadpan. "One of the many mysteries of this city!" Leo stated, resulting in a right hook from Sela. "So...when should I put the cube back in?" Yamato asked as the effects of the Link Cube were getting far more severe by the second. Some egg bots suddenly came towards Yamato without him noticing but we're hot away by a fire ball. The bots exploded surprising them all as they looked at the attacker who revealed to be Flash as he was in a baseball throwing pose. "Your out." He simply said with a smirk. "NANI?!" everyone minus Yamato shouted. "Well look at all of you. Didn't I tell you guys, I'm a trained Shinobi. I have access to fire element and can easily manipulate it." Flash explained as he made a fire ball appear in his hand and then defuse it. "Ok, I seen enough, First the human came into this world and broke my nose and a Hybrid brat who is like a ninja like those one." Eggman said pointing at Aphrodite and roll who were still shocked seeing that." And mostly look like them. Is making my day worse." He shouted dogging another fire ball which came at him. "Enough talk.Time to bring up the heat." Flash suddenly did a hand symbol and made more fire balls and shot the egg bots easily destroy them. "Awesome," manic yelled seeing that." His even doing the jitsu which ninja do." "You sure his not your child." Sonia asked Aphrodite. "I wish." She told. While Flash was taking care of the drones.Eggman slowly reached out to Orbot while no one was paying attention. Once he had the red robot in his hands, he folded him up before tossing him up in his hand like a baseball. Eggman then tossed the orb shaped robot as it slammed into Yamato's back, making him stumble forward and the Kings Credential flying out of his hand. As it neared the hole it fit into, the energy of the Link Cube sucked it in like a magnet. After a pause as the sparking and rumbling stopped, the Link Cube flew high into the air before it opened and let out a blinding light. "Ah!" Yamato shouted at seeing that. "Eggman!" everyone roared in anger. "Ahahahaha...Ohohohoho!" he laughed, pointing at them. "Oh, the looks on your stupid faces!" Roll tackled him out of his machine and began to slug him repeatedly. "Ah!" Leo shouted in shock as he saw people floating up into the air. "The Cube is eating people!" "It's already begun. People are being drawn into the Link Cube...and released back on the Earth." Nicole explained. "Whoa!" Yamato freaked as he was being sucked up next. He then grabbed onto a tree to keep himself from floating up. "Eggman why?!" he growled. "So I…!" Eggman began as he was punched in the face by Roll, "Can finally! Be rid! Of Sonic! The queen and! Everyone else here! Will be a bonus, meaning my conquest of Mobius will be easy!" "You idiot!" Flash shouted, "You're human...That means you'll be sucked into the Earth, too, giving everyone what they always wanted: you no longer existing in this world!" he shouted logically, making Eggman realize the point. "Gah!" Eggman freaked before he slammed a foot into Roll, managing to get her off. "No!" Roll cried out before she was barely able to get one last strike in, her claws going right over his right eye just before she was sucked in next. "Good riddance!" Eggman shouted, holding a hand over his injury, "...Wait! I still have my Egg Army, m-" "Sir, your Egg Carrier three was dragged into it," Orbot spoke, "Also...didn't you call a summoning, to have them arrive just in case?" "...Damn i-" Eggman began before a rope grabbed him, "?!" "Eggman!" Yamato shouted, holding onto the other end. "You're not spending one more moment in this world!" he shouted, pulling and yanking Eggman with him up into the air. "Wah...no...no!" he shouted, grabbing Orbot and Cubot and bringing them with him. "I am GROOT!" Cubot screamed. "Eek!" Amu screamed as she began floating up. "Oh...good day to not wear a skirt." she muttered. "No...NO...Leo don't do heights!" Leo growled, holding onto a tree with his claws. "I picked a bad day to wear a skirt!" Aphrodite yelped, trying to keep it down while holding onto a few suitcases. "Really?" Tusk asked, floating above her. "We're being sucked into an interdimensional vortex and you still worry about the luggage?!" "It's a thing you'd never understand Tusk." Sela stated calmly swimming up through the air. "No man would." "So very true," Sonia agreed, holding onto a few suitcases herself. "Actually I do,"Flash told as he was standing easily on the ground. "Just keep your ears covered and eyes closed, little bro-in-law," Manic advised, holding onto Haseo's tail, "It'll all be over soon." "I brought a tree with me!" Leo shouted, holding onto an uprooted tree. "Leo...what are you gonna do with a tree?!" Sonic asked. "Well when we land and I have a tree to take naps in, you can't use it!" Leo shouted. "I am surrounded by knaves…" Caliburn muttered. "My only regret...I didn't bring my own suitcase." Tails stated, floating upside down. "Seriously...why is that so important!?" Tusk shouted. "I packed one for you," Aphrodite noted, her tail holding one with his two tails printed on it. "Seriously, why?!" Tusk asked his trunk trumpeting in rage and confusion."And how are you not being sucked in like the others?!" "Its an earth jitsu which helps me move on walls and trees easily and I can focus on standing in one spot easily as the earth stops me in one place."Flash explained. "SERIOUSLY?!"Tusk shouted,"Who thought you!" "Self thought." "Sugoi~" Haseo said seeing that,"Ano, Kaa-san, why does he look like onni-chan with the tail and ears," he asked his mom "Don't know." She told. "Mm...now I don't have one...I'll need to buy tons and tons of new clothes in the human world," Amu cried...before she blinked, "Wait...new clothes? Yahoo!" she cheered as she began pushing herself up higher, catching up to Yamato who pulled Eggman closer to the Link Cube. "Stop fighting it already!" Yamato shouted. "Never!" "Yamato-kun!" Amu cheered, grabbing his arm. "Amu-san?" he blinked as Eggman began gnawing on the rope around his leg. "Ne? Does Earth have lots of clothing stores?" she asked. "Wha...yes but…" "Yay!" she cheered, hugging him. "Freedom! So long suckers!" Eggman said as he began trying to paddle away before he got sucked up even faster. "Help me, suckers!" "For a fat guy...he flies fast." Yamato muttered. "I'm really going to snap that bastard's neck when we get to the other side," Tusk shook a fist. "So...what's the landing strategy?" Sonic asked, making everyone blink. "Oh come on guys...twice...really twice?" he asked. "Just try to land on Leo," Sela stated. "Yeah! ...Wait, WHAT?!" "This is the oddest day I've ever had," Nicole whispered, floating alongside Aphrodite and Haseo. "Agreed," Aphrodite nodded before handing Nicole a rope attached to Haseo, "Keep hold of that while we're going through please. I'd rather Haseo-chan be with someone that can keep him safe." "...I'll do my best to keep him safe, Mrs. Sakurai," Nicole assured while Haseo blushed brightly, trying his best to not look at the lynx. "..Ano, Why not onni-chan over there." Haseo asked pointing at Flash. Flash saw a bot suddenly coming straight towards The you fox and lynx. His instinct kicked in.. "Watch out!" Flash yelled as he ran and pushed the two back as the bot came and hit him. Making him lose his balance and was soon sucked in the portal. "Flash!" Yamato and Aphrodite yelled tye later didn't know but was worried more for the hybrid. "Then...I salute you, my home!" Leo declared, standing on the tree as he saluted his home. "I shall miss all my nap spots!" he cried, "The one in Tusk's bed was the best!" "You sleep in my bed?!" Tusk shouted. "Sela's is too rough!" "Leo?! What did you just say?!" Sela roared. "I also sleep in Sonic's bed and left that smell in it when I farted!" Leo shouted. "Oh, you little…!" Sonic seethed, brandishing Caliburn at Leo. "If Roll had not already been sucked in, I am sure she would call you a hypocrite at this moment due to you brandishing me with intent of murder," Caliburn noted. "My final admittance of guilt...I've eaten the food out of all your houses for the last 12 years! And I put the empty milk containers back each time!" Leo shouted. "Leo, if we survive this, you are hereby given the highest punishment I can give!" Aleena snapped. "I regret nothing!" he roared, being sucked in along with Yamato and Amu. "Oh well," Aphrodite shrugged as she was sucked in next, "Ciao, Mobius~!" "I hate all of you." Tusk said, going next. "Leo, I'm gonna eviscerate you!" Sela shouted, going in of her own will rather then let her be forced in. "Please keep close, Haseo," Nicole advised, wrapping the rope around her waist while keeping an arm around a blushing Haseo. "...H….h….hai, N-Nicole-san," Haseo shyly nodded as he and Nicole were sucked in next. "My only regret is that I was unable to convince you to assist Dame Roll in attempting to end Eggman," Caliburn stated, "For if we had, this would not have happened to us." "Oh, don't you start!" Sonic snapped as he went in next. "Welp...see ya on the otherside, sis," Manic mock-saluted Sonia as he went next, the green hedgehog reclining a bit in the air. "Oh sweet chaos…" Sonia muttered as she went next. Earth The Link Cube located back on Earth began to glow brightly before it opened and unleashed a large burst of light straight up into the sky. The light began branching out like a geyser as multiple lights flew out all around the country of Japan. The lights continued to rain down wherever until a final burst of light spit out several beings around the same area just next to the cube. "Ah!" Yamato cried as Amu landed in his arms. "GAH!" Leo shouted as he fell face first into a stream. He quickly got up before he spit a fish out of his mouth. "Lunch!" he laughed. "LEO!" Leo looked up just in time to get slammed in the face with Sela's heels, sending his fish into the water and off down the stream. "Gah!" Tusk groaned, landing in a bush, "Wait...what's tha...SKUNK!" he freaked, running off. "Tusk has a very sensitive nose." Amu stated as she helped Yamato stand back up. "Soka…" Yamato nodded, "Who else is landing here?" he asked "Ano…" everyone blinked at the voice before turning to look at a tree nearby, where Roll's skirt had snagged on a branch, "...Tatsukete?" "Don't worry, I got you..." Roll looked back and saw Flash standing on the branch as he then helped her down. "Arigatou, Flash-san," Roll thanked as Flash put her down...before something crashed into the stream. "Ah! Help! Help! I'm drowning!" Sonic freaked, his eyes shut tight as he surfaced, splashing wildly. "Ano ne...Sonic-san...that's about 5 inches of water." Yamato called out with a look of surprise on his face. "..." Sonic stopped splashing and looked at the stream, "..." he gave a sheepish shrug, "My bad." "I have never been more embarrassed of you than today, wart," Caliburn sighed. "Now I'm a wart?!" "What's a wart?" Yamato asked the girls standing next to him. "Uhm...I don't know...Roll?" Amu asked, patting her shoulder. "From what Caliburn-sama's told me, it's basically lower than a knave, considered as a young child that scrubs the floors with a rag, gathers the equipment for knight training..." Roll replied. "So...like a Kohai who is bullied around by their senpai to do things like bring them food and their homework?" Flash translated to modern parallels. "Possibly," Roll shrugged. "Sonic got demoted...hehe." Amu giggled. "Oi!" Sonic snapped at them before looking around, "So this is your world, Guys? Kinda nice so far." "I found Leo." Sela said, dragging a beaten Leo...who had a mountain of bumps on his head. "I'd like to solve the puzzle for 300 fish tacos…" Leo groaned, his eyes spiraling around. "...You didn't leave a spot for us?" Amu asked, looking at the bumps. "Eh? Why?" Roll asked before Amu whispered Leo's confessions, "..." she pulled out an old leather-bound book and began to leaf through it, 'I wonder if I can change targets to Leo…' "Roll-chan...dameda." Flash said, bonking her head gently."I may not know him but you can't go that far." "Ite…" Roll flinched. "Demo...I have one question." Amu said slowly. "Where is Eggman?" she asked, looking around. "Also on that note, Roll-chan? Where are your mom and brother?" she pointed out. "Aleena-sama isn't here, either." Tusk pointed out as he gripped the end of his trunk closed. Everyone looked at him for a second. "I still smell skunk…" he said, making everyone make an 'Oh' face in understanding. "...Ah! Kaa-chan! Haseo-chan!" Roll called as she zipped about, "Where are you?!" "Mom!" Sonic shouted while walking up to the others. "Hey Mom!?" he shouted louder, "Bro! Sis! Anyone out there?!" "They can't have landed too far…" Flash hoped. "Also...I think that might have been noticeable." he muttered in worry. "Oh come on...how noticeable would that have really been?" Leo asked stupidly. "Oh Leo...Leo...Leo..Leo…" Amu shook her head. "I love you like a brother...but even you can be too dumb." "Eh...what's that suppose to mean?" he asked. "She means thou hath jinxed it, wart Leo," Caliburn stated bluntly. "Oh come on…" he waved off. In space, a large alien vessel resembling a bow and arrow floated around the galaxy the earth called home. "Ginis-sama...we detected a strange energy from the planet in this solar system." a female voice spoke from the darkened room of the ship. "Hehe...interesting." a voice chuckled as two glowing eyes opened. "Naria...I think we've found the perfect spot for the next Blood Game." the figure said while rising up, revealing an alien with pure silver armor-like skin with golden accents on his chest, his body from the waist down a large podium, making him look like a chess piece. His head pointed behind him with a golden human-ish looking face. Glowing white eyes looked at the screen presented in front of him. He opened his mouth to chuckle as light escaped his mouth as well. "You better be entertaining...Planet number 100." "This should be a good one, right Owner?" a gruff voice asked as a tall blue colored alien whose entire body was made out of cubes walked forward. He was built strong with a large barrel chest and shoulders making him muscular looking. The Cube that acted as his head had a scaly fanged mouth that contradicted his appearance. The only thing that counted as clothing on this alien were the black shorts around his body. "Hopefully this one will put up a good game." a calmer voice replied as another alien walked forward. This one was colored in gold and silver armor, silver arms and legs while gold armor covered most of his torso, and formed gauntlets extending down from his arms. His head was large, rounded and silver, with a vertical blue light acting as his mouth and two blue colored eyes. "My Players...prepare for the game to begin." the being known as Ginis ordered as he sat down in a throne like chair. "Aleena-sama!" Yamato called out as they searched the forest. "Mom! Bro! Sis!" "Kaa-chan! Nii-chan!" "Your highness! Aunty Aphrodite! Haseo-chan!" "Queen Aleena! The crazy old lady! Haseo!" *bonk* "Don't call her a crazy old lady," Tusk snorted. "Ite…" Leo groaned. "Ah! Idea!" Amu declared, raising her hand. "Ano...Hai, Amu-san?" Yamato called on her. "Sela-chan, cover your ears." Amu ordered. "Okay." "Why are you having her do that?" Sonic asked. "Leo…" Amu stated, looking at her friend. "Gomen…" she said before, yanking his tail. "ITTTEEEEEEE!" Leo roared at the top of his lungs, shaking the entire forest. "What did that accomplish?!" Flash shouted as Leo was rolling around in pain. "I thought it'd work on letting them know where we are," Amu replied. "Leo's screams of pains are well known all over." Tusk pointed out as he looked at Sela who was passed out from the noise. "Sela's down." "Tail...my Tail...Why is it always my tail!?" Leo complained, hugging his tail like a baby. "Because it's an easy spot to grab," Sela deadpanned. "Ano…" everyone looked at Roll, "What if they ended up in a city?" "I'm sure that was heard even in the city…" Yamato muttered, looking at the city visible from the forest, "Oh! If we do go there, maybe you can cast yourselves as cosplayers." "Cosplayer?" the Mobians repeated, tilting their heads in confusion. "Just...so people won't freak out...I mean guys...look at how you reacted to me…" he reasoned. "And me... And I always wear a hoody and act as having wearing a costume alot to go out.." Flash told. "They make a good point." Sonic admitted. "You guys freaked out like kids in a horror movie when you saw his face." "Eggman," the others deadpanned. "..." Sonic threw his hands up with a groan. "Besides...Yamato is so much opposite of Eggman." Amu stated, "Eggman is evil and nasty, Yamato is good and nice. Eggman is ugly, Yamato's good looking." "Thank...you?" Yamato said slowly. "And Flash aswell... He mostly looks like a older haseo with the tail and ears.." Roll said "Thanks.. I think?" Flash said slowly."?!" "Eh? What's wrong?" Yamato asked before seeing their tails all stick straight up, "Nani?" "Whoa…" Sonic muttered. "Ah my tail;s okay…" Leo sighed. Sela looked at her tail fin as it was sticking up as well. "What is this feeling? ...This...bloodlust." Tusk asked, his tail sticking up. "Not even Eggman has had this effect on us…" "It...It feels so dark…" Roll shuddered, hugging herself as she shook, "I...I can't stop shaking..." "This...This is new..." Flash spoke feeling the danger,"But,.. what is this feeling of dread." "...Oh my…" Aphrodite blinked twice as she looked at her stuck up tail on a shoreline, "This is rather strange." "True," Sonia agreed, her own tail poking up, "It...I didn't expect there to be danger in Yamato's and Flash's world this bad." "...Th….th...this dark feeling…" Haseo whispered, his twin tails sticking up as he shook like a leaf, staying near Nicole, "S...such malevolence…" "I've managed to hack into an unused security satellite and am now trying to find what's causing this," Nicole noted as she kept herself and Haseo to an unused alley. "...N...Nicole-san…" Haseo whispered, staying close to the lynx, "I...I'm scared." "It will be fine," Nicole assured. "Something is coming…" Aleena noted as she looked towards the sky on the tallest tree she had found, "I pray for the safety of my people here and for the people of this planet." "Dude...This feels whack," Manic muttered as he snuck about in a sewer while trying to get his tail to go down, "What's this feeling….Eggman's not trying to revive a god of destruction...is he?" he shook his head, "Nah. Not even that guy's dumb enough to try something like that, like it being a giant inside the planet that makes people all negative in the night…" "...This can't be good," Tails whispered, seeing his twin tails sticking up as he stood in an unused airplane hanger, "What's this dark feeling? No way it's Eggman..." "Owner/Ginis-sama." the two aliens bowed their heads to the larger being. "Naria...name this world." he ordered to a female alien. "Hai." she nodded. Her body was colored in mostly black save for the golden hexagonal scale patterns across her chest and knees. She had green bulbs of some kind extending from her shoulders and around her hips, forming a sort of skirt. She had hair made of the same green bulbs and a black visor-like mask covered most of her face, stopping just under her nose, and had 6 eye-like holes; two of which were colored gold, and revealing the silver white skin of her face, her lips colored green. Naria, as she was called, held up some kind of holographic tablet before typing away. "3rd planet from this sun, known as Earth. A perfect planet with the right atmosphere and conditions to support a multitude of life." she read. "Anything worth noting?" Ginis asked. "Multiple alien races have come to Earth in hope of conquering...none have been heard from again." she explained seriously. "Oh...I'm going to enjoy this one." Ginis chuckled as he held his right hand out. Naria then grabbed a wine glass filled to the brim with a red liquid. Ginis took the cup before raising it to his lips and drank it, "So...who will get first dibs?" he asked, looking at the two aliens before him. "My team leaders...who would like to send in their player first?" "Owner!" a new voice shouted as an alien walked in. This one was colored in grey with blue veins running along his seemingly mineral like body. The blue veins forming armor plate patterns across his torso, long grey spikes extending from his shoulders and more going upward from his head like extremely spiky hair and a crown, his small red eyes peering out into the room. His right arm was made of the same spiky mineral armor only it turned into five normal looking fingers. However his left was swollen and larger, it was hollow and had small red lights along the top of his arm, it looked like a cross between an empty log and a futuristic literal arm cannon. The spiky texture body continued down to his knees where his body formed into an armor pattern again. "Jagged…" Ginis greeted. "I, Jagged, humbly request to go down myself to lead the first game!" Jagged stated, bowing his head to Ginis. "Oi, that's not fair! I wanted to see how you can break those squishy humans' bodies!" the blue cube alien complained. "Ah...typical examples of lowly evolved minds." the rounded silver alien sighed. "Azald…" Ginis spoke, getting the attention of the blue one. "Quval…" he spoke to the silver and gold one. "We shall allow Jagged to test the waters." "Yes, Owner…" they nodded accepting his orders. "Leave it to me. I'll begin burning down tons of hoomans!" Jagged chuckled mispronouncing the word 'humans'. "Humans...twit." Quval shook his head. "Whatever." Jagged scoffed, walking away. "Are you guys okay?" Yamato asked them out of worry as their tails refused to go back down no matter what. "Don't know this is something new to me." Flash told seeing his tail still up. "Ah...mou...the bow I put on my tail flew off!" Amu complained. "And it was my favorite pink one." she pouted as she fake-cried into Roll's shoulder. "D-Daijobu," Roll patted her head. "What could be the cause of this?" Tusk asked in annoyance. "Whatever it is...it's getting annoying." Sonic muttered. "Hey guys...what's that grey light?" Leo asked pointing at the sky as something flew down from the sky. "That's the picnic area...people are there." Flash realized. "Is this some sort of show the people who work here put on?" Roll asked. "No…" Yamato shook his head in worry. After a moment, they all jumped at the sound of an explosion before smoke began rising into the sky. "What was that?!" Sonic gawked. "Knave, the smoke is coming from the 'pick-nick' area!" Caliburn informed, "We must hurry to protect those people!" "Yamato already ran off." Sela pointed out as they saw Yamato running through the forest towards the picnic area. "Oh...he's faster than he looks." Amu noted."And Flash is also going there," she's pointed up at seeing him run from trees. "Let's follow them!" Leo roared, running next. "Let's go!" Sonic ordered as he zipped off, Roll following after him. "Speed types…" Tusk complained as he trudged after them as fast as he could. "Let's go!" Amu ran off, pulling Sela along. "Yahooo!" Jagged shouted as he aimed his left arm cannon and fired a ball of plasma that incinerated a tree. He then began to fire rapidly blowing up the ground and causing a fire to spread. "Moeba's! Burn this moss covered mudball down!" he ordered. A troop of aliens then walked out. Their bodies were mostly colored in blue save for the white gloves and boots along with bronze colored chest armor covering their torsos with hints of red in the center. Their faces were grey with 4 long tendrils hanging from their faces like whiskers, single red orbs being their eyes. Each one held a weapon consisting of two thick short swords connected to a handle with a ring like guard around it. The number of the Moeba's obeying Jagged was currently in the 50's. The Moeba's used their weapons to cut down trees and tables in the picnic area, scaring poor families who were still their. Jagged laughed at seeing the poor humans run in fear from the alien attackers. "Good! Scream more for me!" he laughed. "You're being hunted down by the unmatched Jagged-sama!" he laughed before one of the Moeba walked up to him and whispered...in what seemed to be his ear on the side of his head, "Huh? ...Oh, right! Owner wanted me to find that shiny thingamabob." he bopped his cannon arm into his hand. Another Moeba then held up a scanner as Jagged looked to the side. "That way, Moeba's!" he ordered. The Moeba's saluted and marched in that direction before some ended up tripping over the incline at the edge of the picnic area and rolling into the stream where the Link Cube resided. Jagged looked at it in interest for a few moments. "Hm...this is the thing Owner is interested in...meh. It's just a rock...I'd rather burn the fleshy things that live here." he muttered. "Moeba's go take care of that, I'll go have fun." he then walked back before he chuckled and began shooting at anything he saw moving. A tree collapsed, engulfed in flames from one shot, startling the animals. Jagged laughed, enjoying seeing the destruction he brought to the once peaceful forest landscape. "Ah I got to give it this rock has a lot of creatures for me to enjoy blowin' up! It's fun!" he chuckled before hearing the sound of footsteps as he saw Yamato enter the forest. "Oh...new meat." "Ah…" Yamato shouted in shock seeing the fires. "The forest...it's…" he said slowly, seeing the wonderful forest in ruins, the poor animals all running around in fear and panic. A burning branch nearly fell on a fawn before a blur shot by before the branch hit the floor. Roll skidded to a halt and let the fawn down before it ran off. She sighed in relief before Sonic jumped over her, cutting a falling tree in two before it could land on an older male another dear was running and a fire ball almost hit it but a orange blur came and saved it. The blur revealed to be Flash as he put the dear down and it ran away "Nande...what little animals popped out of the wood works this time?" Jagged asked at seeing that. "Yamato-san, what is that thing?" Roll asked, seeing Jagged, as the two zipped over to him. "I...don't know...I've never seen such a creature before." "And you're likely never will as well!" Jagged shouted. "I'm a Team Leader of the Deathgaliens! I'm the undefeated Jagged-sama, and be thankful, humans! Your planet has been picked for a great honor!" "What about this is an honor?!" Flash shouted. "Your world will be planet number 100 in our Intergalactic Blood Game! Where our forces come to your world and we murder every living lifeform!" Jagged explained, raising his arms, "And then...we turn the remaining rock into super awesome fireworks!" he laughed happily, "I'm hoping your world makes lots of nice blues and greens when it blows up." "That's horrible!" Roll gasped. "Dude, not cool!" Sonic barked. "Haha...that's what all you stupid lower life forms say when we come along." Jagged complained. "Organics...heh, just wastes of life. So the only thing you're good for is beasts for the hunt! Speaking of Hunting beast, oi, Moeba's! Got two new targets for ya! A large blue rat and a mix breeds!" "Rat?" Sonic's left eye twitched. "Mix breeds?" Roll's and Flash right eye twitched. "I…" Caliburn began. "Don't. Even. Start," the three glared at the sword before Roll gave a roundhouse to one of the Moeba's at the same time Sonic slashed one diagonally across its torso. Flash made fire balls and throw them at the Moeba's and then made lightning and Zapp the up in coming Moeba's. "Wait, You can shoot lightning aswell!"Sonic asked amazed. "Of course I learned it." "You have to teach me." Roll pleaded whole kicking a Moeba's away. "Then you must promise to use these power wisely my child." Flash told in dramatic toon. "Hai, my master." Both soon laughed "You know, you two act like siblings do," Both looked at him then at each other, but shrugged it off. "Oh...so they can fight back on this world. I was waiting for that." Jagged laughed, holding his right hand and stopping the Moeba's. "Moeba's, hold back...go dismantle the cube thing in the river." "What?!" the two Mobians, Hybrid and Yamato gasped. "You three… or four if I'm counting the bald one, get blown into dust!" Jagged shouted, shooting a plasma ball at them sending all three flying back from its force as it exploded against the ground in front of them. "Ah…" Yamato groaned in pain as he hit the ground hard. "Ouch.." Flash muttered "Ite…" Roll groaned before looking around, "Sonic-san?" "Mmph-mphm-mph." Roll looked down to see she was sitting on him, "Oh. Sorry." she got off as Leo, Sela, Amu, and Tusk ran over. "Well look at this; even more prey." Jagged laughed. "What is that thing?" Amu asked. "It's an alien called a Deathgalien." Yamato grunted, "It's hear to harm people…" "That's underselling it human...I'm hear to hunt and kill everyone!" Jagged laughed. "Adults, children, beasts, all of them just another target to blow up!" "Teme…" Leo growled at hearing that. "That's just terrible." Sela added. "Apparently, he has heard that from all the other 99 planets that they have blown up," Caliburn noted. "Oh...a talking sword! That's kind of cool...I might just graft it to my other hand after I kill all of you." Jagged laughed, holding up his right hand, "I think he might fit, too." "I would rather be melted into a pile of slag than be attached to an uncouth barbarian such as yourself." "You say that and yet you're clinging to the waist of a lower life form." Jagged chuckled before he looked at all his new targets. "Hm...quite a lot of you...yet you don't look like the dominant life forms of this rock...then...what the hell are ya?" "Mobians, asshole!" Leo snapped, "And you have personally pissed me off!" "You're not from this planet...are you?" Jagged realized. "Well...100 will be a good one. We can make your world planet 101!" he chuckled. "...I don't think so," Sonic frowned, brandishing Caliburn as he glared at Jagged. "Oh? Oh, is the rat gonna try and fight me?" Jagged asked with a laugh, "Oh. OK...go ahead and try it...I like letting the lower life forms of these rocks try and fight back. It makes the game so much more fun." he challenged, using his right hand to give Sonic the 'come on' hand motion. "You asked for it!" Sonic gritted his teeth before shooting right at Jagged, Caliburn at ready, "I'm not a rat! I'm a hedgehog!" "Like there's a difference." Jagged said as he blocked a swing from Sonic. He then pushed him back before through a punch with his right arm Sonic avoided by spinning to the right. Jagged growled as he swung his left arm cannon around only for Sonic to kick the arm up letting the round fly into the sky. Sonic then slashed Caliburn at Jagged, cutting his waist and making the Alien stumble back a step. Jagged chuckled as he picked up the fragments of of his body that were cut off. The Alien then surprised Sonic be tossing them like needles at him, forcing him to flip to the side and avoid them as they stuck into the side of a tree. "Ah good speed." Jagged laughed as the tree began to decay and rot. "My body is composed of something I learned is pretty poisonous to you organic life forms." he chuckled. "Okay new danger…" "Cutting him would only provide him more weapons…" Caliburn noted in annoyance. "That's right…" Jagged said as the red bars on his cannon arm lit up. "Full Charge." he said as mass of blue energy formed in his cannon. "Boom!" he laughed, unleashing a huge beam that shot past Sonic and burnt a path in the forest. "Ahahaha! Oh, the look on your stupid face when you saw that! Almost as good as if I did shoot ya!" 'This guy is way more different than Eggman…' Sonic sweated a bit. "Ah…" Jagged sighed happily. "I'm gonna enjoy this... Come on! Get back in the fight, blue thing." he said, charging at Sonic and punching at him. Sonic ducked back as the punch barely missed him. Jagged swung his arm back before he punched his cannon arm forward and began firing plasma balls. Sonic began batting them away using Caliburn while the Alien then slammed his cannon into the ground before he fired. Sonic looked down as the ground between them began glowing red hot before it exploded in a direct path towards Sonic. The sudden attack caught him by surprise as he was sent flying back and then into a tree. "Sonic!" Leo called out in worry. "Yahoo!" Jagged laughed as he began charging up again. "It's been fun, but this time you're gonna fry!" he laughed while shooting at Sonic only for a blur to move him out of the way and just let the blast hit the tree behind him, "Wha…" "Daijobu?" Roll asked as she put him down beside the others. "...Yeah...this guy's way more dangerous than Eggman," Sonic whispered, trying to calm himself after that close call. "Heh...well, that's a pain." Jagged growled in anger before a Moeba walked up to him. "Wha...dimensional energy...that hunk of junk?" he asked, looking at the Link Cube, before the Moeba nodded in confirmation. "Then...that's how these freaks got here then? Well now...isn't that just interesting?" "What are you thinking?!" Leo shouted. "He knows the Link Cube is our only means home…" Tusk figured out. "That's not good," Amu gulped. "Well...that makes me want to blow it up...even more." Jagged chuckled to himself. "...You wouldn't…" "Oh…" Jagged began as he aimed his arm cannon at the Link Cube, "I would!" he then fired off several blasts at the cube, the explosions even taking out some Moeba that were still down there next to it. Jagged laughed as he kept shooting until a huge chunk of the Link Cube was blown off. "Oh no!" Amu gasped. "Get away from it!" Leo roared as he grabbed a large rock and threw it at Jagged, bonking off the side of his head on impact. "Okay...just for that...I'm gonna enjoy this game." Jagged said shooting, another blast at the Link Cube. At that, it fell into the water with a crash. The light faded away as the Link Cube lost its power, the 6 Kings Credentials all flying off into the sky. "Now...you lot are next." he laughed. "H...He just broke our way home," Amu gasped. "No…" Tusk muttered. "That means…" Sela realized. "Teme!" Leo roared in anger. "Hahaha...listen to that. All the silly little life forms crying over the beggining of the game." Jagged chuckled as he just began shooting randomly, setting more of the forest on fire, "It hasn't even gotten to the good part yet! And already I can hear some nice cries." he laughed, raising his hand to his ear enjoying the sounds of animals running from the fire in panic. "This is terrible," Roll whispered. "Ah…" Yamato cried, seeing this. "What's happening.." Flash said seeing this. "Ahahaha!" Jagged laughed at his own-caused destruction. "Yaro…" Leo growled in anger at that he then saw one of the Kings credentials on the ground as he picked it up. "You're gonna pay for that crap!" he shouted as the Credential in his hand began glowing a bright yellow color. "That's never happened before!" Sonic yelped. "Oi! Leo...what did you do?" Tusk demanded as he, Amu, and Sela picked up one each. "What is this…? I feel something from it…" Leo said as it suddenly changed. No longer was it the white cube with colored 'cracks', a new item was in his hand entirely. The new item was mostly black in coloration with a total of four sides with images and segmented into three horizontal sections. The first face was colored red with 5 animals painted on the front, depicting an Eagle, Lion, Shark, Tiger, and Elephant. The second face was yellow in color and it just had the image of a cube in the center that slightly resembled the Link Cube. The third face was blue in color and had some kind of...robot face depicted in it. The fourth face was mostly black for the lower sections while the top was green with a symbol resembling a phone, in between the second and third section was a hinge as if to flip open the device. "SUGEI!" Leo roared in shock at seeing that. "It became a...ah...what is it?" "Nani?" Tusk asked, seeing the one he picked up flash green and became the same thing. Amu and Sela's also changed into the same device. Amu flipped her device open revealing the inside as it were. A red frame was formed around the edges of the lay out with the top half having a screen of some sorts which seemed to depict an Eagle with its wings held out, only the part where its head should have been was replaced by a window in a triangular cut depicting a red symbol. The button lay out on the lower half consisted of twelve buttons in rows of threes. The first row was a yellow button with a black cube, a red button with the same animal pattern as the side of the cube in white, and a blue button with the same robot face, the rest were simply numbered from 1 to 9. "Cell...phone?" Amu asked in confusion as the number 5 flashed on hers. "Aw...I wanted to be 1," Leo pouted, his number flashing '3.' "Maybe we press it?" Tusk asked, pressing 4 on his. "Soka." Sela nodded, pressing 2. As soon as all of them pushed the buttons, they felt a surge of energy rush through their bodies and then affect their instincts. It was as if information on what to do and how was uploaded right into their minds. Their hands then pressed the red buttons. =SHARK~LION~ELEPHANT~TIGER~!= The four then walked up together. "I don't get what this thing is, but I feel it's useful!" Leo stated. "More importantly...I just want to kick this bastard's pointy ass! It's one thing to blow up the Link Cube...but now he's just hurting folks here for no good reason. You guys with me!?" "I don't like this guy much either." Sela agreed. "He's really made me mad." Tusk admitted. "Roll-chan, Yamato-kun, Flash-san please stay back." Amu told them. "Wait, Why did you called him Kun and me San" Flash asked but moved back. Roll nodded as she grabbed Yamato's hand and pulled him behind one of the larger rocks there. The four then followed the new instincts as they held the cubes up before twisting the top section around a full 360 making it light up. =AHHHHHH~! AH~! AHAHAH~!= At that, energy lines formed around them, slowly building a cube shape that was standing on one of its points. The cubes were colored in Blue for Sela, Yellow for Leo, Green for Tusk, and White for Amu. The four Mobians then slowly moved their hands to the sides, making the cubes spin around rapidly before they lowered their elbows down and shot their cubes up while flipping them open. "Honno Kakusei!" they all called out in unison as the lights molded around their bodies, becoming suits. Each suit matched the color of the energy, with Sela and Amu having skirts that lopped under the silver belts each of them had, they had gloves and boots colored in white with jagged black lines around the edges of the boots and gloves. The next thing to happen were spiritual projections of animals that matched them then formed behind all of them. The Lion projection 'bit' down on Leo, forming a helmet that encased his entire head. His helmet had a section of thick armor resembling a lion's mane while a pure yellow mask formed over the front of the helmet. A black visor formed over his eyes with a point resembling a fang formed just above the visor and red lights at the top of his helmet adding to the Lion design. Black lines then formed along the front of his chest before it took the image of a Lions face. The Shark projection 'bit' down on Sela as it also formed into a helmet matching her light blue suit. Her helmet had a dorsal fin above her head and two smaller fins along the sides of the helmet, purple eyes formed at the top of her helmet as small divots along the side of the helmet made gill shapes. Her visor was more wide and oval like. Black lines formed along the front of her suit, forming a shark image with its jaws wide open. The elephant projection merely passed over Tusk's head as it formed his helmet...which seemed to fit his ears and trunk into a very human sized helmet. His helmet was solid green as the ears of an elephant formed ridges along the upper sides of his helmet, yellow eyes formed in the middle of his helmet's forehead. The trunk separated his visor into two sections with the elephant 'tusks' formed over each visor. Black lines formed an elephant head over his torso. The Tiger projection bit down on Amu's head, forming a pure white helmet over her head, but with ridging patterns that resemble tiger stripes. Two cat ear-like spikes formed atop her helmet while pink eyes formed just above her black visor. Finally black lines formed into a tiger head on the front of her suit. "Nani?" Yamato blinked in surprise at seeing all of that. "They transformed!" Sonic gawked. "Sugei~" Roll awed. "Nani? Sentai da!" Flash gawed seeing them Transformed At that, another new instinct took over the four. "Savanna no Ouja!" Leo shouted as lightning formed around him. "Zyuoh Lion!" "Araumi no Ouja!" Sela called out as waves of water formed around her. "Zyuoh Shark!" "Shinrin no Ouja!" Tusk shouted as a gust of green wind and leaves formed around him. "Zyuoh Elephant!" "Setsugen no Ouja!" Amu shouted as a blizzard formed around her, "Zyuoh Tiger!" "..." Sonic blinked twice, "I'm just having a weird dream, aren't I?" *smack* "OW!" Sonic glowered at Roll, who pinched herself in the arm. "Ite," Roll mumbled, "...Iie. I'm not dreaming either. Leo-san did gain the power of lightning by making a funny pose while Amu-nee, Sela-chan, and Tusk-san became superheroes." "Oi! Why am I the weird one in all of this?!" Lion roared louder than ever before at them. "Ite!" Roll groaned, covering her ears, "It sounds like an entire planet's worth of thunder just went off..." "Oi! Don't yell, Some have Sensitive hearing you know." Flash yelled covering his Fox ears. "Is this not normal?" Yamato felt compelled to ask as he took in the...transformation. "Not in the least, Mr. Kazakiri," Caliburn replied, "Wart Leo has always been rather loud, but this is not normal." "I can feel a huge amount of energy from this suit…" Elephant stated, holding up his hands. "I've never felt this strong before." "Is this the power of the Kings Credential?" Tiger asked as she noticed their tails were gone, "Ah...my tail!" "Well...less chance of something happening to Leo's this way." Shark pointed out. "Yeah!" Lion roared happily. "Okay, you guys! Let's get to it!" he ordered, pointing at Jagged who was flabbergasted at this sight. Jagged shook his head before he aimed his cannon at them. "Moeba's...attack!" he ordered as the Moeba soldiers all began to charge the four. "I-K-U-Z-E!" Lion roared before they charged at the Moeba troops. "Does he always have to spell it out?" Sonic muttered with an eye twitch. "Charge!" Jagged shouted as both sides ran at one another. Zyuoh Lion punched one of the Moeba in the face before he swung around and kicked another. Lion leaned back and kicked the chest of a Moeba before jumping back and used the force to send himself into another of the alien cannon fodder. Lion tackled over the Moeba before he jumped to his feet. Lion then reared his head back before he roared unleashing a yellow shockwave, sending the Moeba's flying back and into one another. "...I can make shockwaves with my roars? ...Leo is loving this!" Lion whooped before kicking a sneak attacking Moeba behind him, "No tail is there for you! HAHAHAHA!" "Leo…" everyone muttered. "Ugh." Shark shook her head as she struck one of the Moeba, making him flip over and land on his back. Zyuoh Shark then kicked another of the alien grunts before she turned around and clapped her hands on the weapons of one of the Moeba. She then pulled it away, suddenly making the poor alien grunt lose its footing and force its legs to slide apart, causing it to do the splits. The Moeba groaned before Shark kicked it in the head, knocking it over. She then spun around and backhanded several of the Moeba, making them stumble back. Shark then jumped over the Moeba before the dived down and tackled down several of the Moeba. "Feels like a light training simulation from Nicole," Shark muttered before backhanding a Moeba trying to come up behind her, grabbed it in its dazed state, and proceeded to use it as a club on another Moeba. "Sela's taking out her rage on grunts again." Elephant noted while holding a Moeba up by its face before he tossed it into a group of its 'friends.' Elephant shouted as he punched a Moeba, making it fall over in pain. He then swung his arm, landing a lariat to the neck of another Moeba and sending it flipping through the air to to the force. Elephant then grabbed two Moeba before he began pushing, sending them into a group of their fellow alien amoeba. Elephant then gave off another trumpeting sound from his currently non-existent trunk as he lifted up a large cluster of Moeba before tossing them like a boulder at yet another troop of the alien grunts. "How can he blow his trunk when it's shoved into that masked helmet with his ears and namesakes?" Roll tilted her head. "That's what you're asking?" Caliburn questioned before seeing Yamato thinking, "...You're both pondering that at a time such as this?" "Yay!" Tiger laughed as she walked over the heads of several Moeba before she jumped and punched on another. "This is fun!" she giggled. Zyuoh Tiger growled as she jumped and climbed up tree before jumping off and pouncing again. She then kicked a Moeba before grabbing its head and flipping it around with a 'snap' sound. She then swiped her hands like claws, scratching at the eye of several Moeba. She then crouched down before she pushed herself up on her hands and kicked her legs back, sending a Moeba flying into its 'friends.' Tiger then rolled forward while landing an axe kick to the head of a Moeba, sending it falling down to the ground limp. "Ano...Is it okay for her to act like that in a fight?" Yamato asked. "While she may seem to be...attention deficient...it's merely her unique way of fighting; be unassuming and strike with her hidden fury," Caliburn explained. "Soka..." Yamato nodded. "Look! I rolled one into a ball!" Zyuoh Tiger laughed before tossing it back and letting it clonk another Moeba on the head. "Amu…" Elephant muttered as he stomped on the back of a Moeba while walking over to her. "What? If you squish them enough, they become moldable like clay." she shrugged her shoulders. *squish* Yamato cringed a little. He knew that elephants had been used in another country for that kind of execution where they'd have it just walk all over the person on the death sentence...but didn't think he'd see it happen himself. Beside him, Roll's and Flash cheeks turned a little green while Sonic shrugged. "Like that," Tiger pointed at Elephant's foot, where the head of a Moeba was flattened. "It's like a cartoon!" Lion laughed before a Moeba tackleded him from behind, "Gah! Oh you mother…!" he growled as he decked it hard across the face, causing it to spin in the air a few times before it fell on the ground face first. He then ducked another swing from a Moeba, "This is getting annoying now." "Did you try this?" Elephant asked before pulling a gun out from behind his back. It had a white handle and base with two blocks on the top. One red with an Eagle, Shark, and Lion image; the other blue with a Tiger and Elephant image. "Zyuoh Buster!" he shouted as a square shaped barrel popped out and he fired a block-shaped bullet of energy that blew a square hole in the body of a Moeba. "Sugei!" Lion gawked. "Where did that come from?" Tiger asked in awe. "I felt something inside the suit...guess it was this," Elephant explained. "Found one!" Lion said, pulling out his own Zyuoh Buster. He then pulled the blue cube off and pushed the red cube forward. A blade then unfolded and extended out to full size, "Ooh~It turns into a sword, too! ...You think I could use it as a backscratcher?" "Give me that!" Shark shouted, taking it out of his hand before kicking Lion in the rear. "Gah! How?! She still hit the tail!" he complained. "Focus and do your job…leader." She growled, holding the sword to his neck. "Hai...gomenasai." Lion sweated heavily through his helmet. "I still think Sela-san or Tusk-san would have been better leaders…" Roll admitted quietly to herself. "Sela...skin Leo for bedsheets for your brother later...kill alien now," Tusk reminded. "Wait, she was gonna do what with the who now?" Lion asked, sweating even more, some now falling out of his helmet. "Attack!" Tiger shouted, taking the Zyuoh Buster from Shark's belt while taking her own out. "Hai" the others all agreed as Tiger gave her extra one to Lion. The Four then ran and slashed at the Moeba's, cutting them down while moving past them. Lion slashed a Moeba before he took his sword and stabbed it through another. Shark slid across the ground as she slashed left and right, rapidly cutting many Moeba's and clearing a path through them. Elephant continued using his gun as he shot any Moeba that got too close and punched those he got close to himself. Tiger jumped over Elephant's shoulders before she slashed while spinning, taking out a huge group of Moeba. "Wow...surprise surprise…"Jagged muttered at seeing that. "A blade that can be altered into another weapon…" Caliburn observed. "Something up?" Sonic asked. "Nothing of importance to you," Caliburn replied. "Dude...what's with the being cryptic?" Sonic complained. "All that's left is you, spiky bastard! I'm gonna turn your hair into a scratcher!" Lion roared. "Leo, his body is poi-hmph!" Tiger muffled as Shark covered where her mouth should be. "No, no, no. Let him figure it out on his own and just get a camera for when he does," Shark advised. "You tell his family why he's sick then." Elephant said, making Shark shiver in fear. "They're all so much louder…" she shivered. "Oh? You think you're so tough, do ya?" Jagged chuckled in amusement. "We just beat your little goofballs!" Lion countered, pointing his sword at him. "Not all of 'em!" Jagged pointed up. "What's that sound?" Shark asked, looking up. "It sounds like…" At that, everyone looked up to see more Moaba's...with jetpacks and using their weapons as makeshift wings for flight. "They're resourceful," Roll blinked twice. "Fire!" Jagged ordered as the Moeba's wings began shooting lasers down on the four suited heroes. "Scatter!" Tiger panicked, jumping to the side as beams hit the ground around them. "Teme! None of us can fly!" Lion shouted in anger. "Leo that's the point!" Elephant said as he tried shooting them down but they scattered around and began shooting back. "Boom!" Jagged shouted as he began shooting himself, sending ball after ball of plasma at the four, "Boom! KABOOM! AHAHAHAHA!" "Whoa!" Lion shouted, jumping out of the way of another plasma ball. "This is crazy!" Shark complained as she used her gun to shoot some of the Moeba's, only for a plasma ball to explode next to her, sending her flying away. "Ah! Sela-chan!" Tiger gasped, mis-jumping and ending up getting shot by another plasma ball. "Amu!" Elephant shouted in worry before another blast hit him in the back, sending him flying forward. "Teme!" Lion roared at Jagged. "This is almost fun!" he laughed, shooting a barrage of blasts at Lion who deflected them with his sword. "Hah! My sword's faster than your burning basket balls!" he shouted, ignoring the Moebas that began raining lasers on him from the sky. "Gah! I hate you flying bastards!" he complained before Jagged punched him, sending him flying into the others. "Leo...skip snack time…" Tiger groaned. "This is so uncool," Sonic scowled as he looked around at, looking at the burning scenery, "If even one of them were still not burning, I could've run up one to nail those flying amoebas." "Then...what can we do?" Flash asked in worry as the flying Moeba's circled the four. "Ugh...Why do all of us have to be so grounded?" Elephant groaned, trying to get back up. "I told you we should have had a bird join our group," Shark grumbled. "News flash...Birds don't like us much." Tiger pointed out. "I didn't even yell that loud and that one hawk dude punched me." Lion grumbled. "Yes you do," the other three countered in a deadpan. "Oh please! My dad yells ten times louder when he snores!" Lion complained. "They can enjoy that peace in their sleep...their endless sleep." Jagged chuckled as his arm cannon began charging up for a big blast. Sonic looked around, trying to find anything to help. His eyes landed on something nearby. Zipping over and then back while dodging a few laser shots from one of the Moeba, he smirked. "What are you planning?" Roll asked before Sonic held up a Kings Credential, "?!" "Heh-heh," Sonic smirked before looking at it, "Come on. You gave those guys some armor to help…" no response from the cube, "..." Sonic shook it, "Come on, come on." "I don't think that's how it works," Roll noted. "Oh what do you know?" "A lot more than you, as usual," Roll frowned. "This thing gave our friends powers...so it logics that I should be able to." Sonic countered. "Maybe this one's broken…" "One, it's 'logical,'" Roll corrected, "And two, what good would you having it do? You can't fly." "But I can run," Sonic smirked before shaking it harder, "Come on! Change already! ...Hey wait. Yamato, this is yours." he blinked, seeing a little tag with his name taped to the side. "Eh?" he asked as he took it. "It's the tag I put on incase I lost it." he realized. "You'd think that get burn off by the energy and plasma explosions." he blinked. "Well, now we settled that important thing…" Sonic clapped sarcastically. "Oh, don't you start," Roll slapped the back of his head. As the two bickered, Yamato and flash looked out at the burning area. Both looked around at all the damage done to the forest they loved. Both could still see some animals that were running from the fire. Yamato...couldn't suppress the anger building inside of him. His hand gripped the Kings Credential tight, a faint red glow emanating from it's core. Flash, He lived and trained in the forest his hole life and saw it as his second home. But these aliens are taking it away, all because of a sick game. He also didn't notice but the cube in his pocket glowed orange. "And another thing, none of this would be happening to us if you had just let me kill that fat bastard!" "Oh...so it all comes back to that?! We are not killing him, dammit!" Sonic argued before a glow made the two look at Yamato and his glowing cube, but they didn't see flash cube glow. "...Oh come on!" Yamato ignored the two as he just felt more and more rage surging from his heart. He glared at Jagged, who laughed as he charged another blast. "Mou...yamate…" Yamato whispered through grit teeth. "Yamato?" Sonic blinked, hearing that. "Yamato-san?" Roll pondered. Flash didn't say anything but was mostly mad from inside. "Why...does this have to happen...to these poor animals...to this forest…?" Yamato growled, the cube glowing more. "I...can't accept this…" "So what shall you do, Squire Yamato?" Caliburn questioned. "Hey, Caliburn...What are you asking all of a sudden? Yamato's not like us!" Sonic hissed at the sword. "Nor am I like you," Caliburn replied as he kept his eyes focused on Yamato, "What is it that you shall do in this situation, Squire Yamato? Will you raise your proverbial blade high and fight to protect your lands no matter the cost?" "Ah…" Yamato nodded slowly, "I can't stand by… Even if I'm not like you...this is my world...my home. I want to protect it!" he shouted, running off as he saw Jagged finish charging his cannon. "Full charge fire!" Jagged laughed as he aimed at the four, but he failed to notice Yamato who tackled into his side and aimed his arm up at the sky, letting the beam shoot into the air and dissipate. "Yamato-san!" Tiger gasped. "Yamato!" Flash called out to him. "Yamato!" the others all gasped in shock. "Get this thing off me!" Jagged shouted as he pulled Yamato off before slamming his knee into his stomach, making him cough in pain. "Filthy lower life forms...now I'll have to clean myself…" he growled as he punched Yamato across the face, making him stagger back. "One's not enough!" he shouted while slamming a punch to Yamato's chest, sending him stumbling back across the ground. "Gah!" Yamato cried in pain as he coughed up blood from the punch to his face. "You think you're tough, huh?" Jagged asked. "Yamato, run!" Lion shouted. "Please leave this to us." Shark added. "Yamato-san…" Tiger said in worry. "Get out of here, Yamato!" Elephant called. "What is he thinking?" Sonic questioned, "You did something to him, didn't you, you rusted overgrown broken butterknife?" "Hmph. I did no such thing. I merely asked what his resolve is," Caliburn replied as he saw Yamato get up back, "And I find his resolve worthy on par with that of a true king's." "Huh?" "Ah…" Yamato groaned in pain as he held up the cube, "Please...Kings Credential...lend me power?" he asked of the cube. "It doesn't have to be for long...just enough to protect this forest...all the lives in it…" he begged of the device as its glow started up again. "It's no use, that will only work for a Mobian like us!" Elephant shouted. "Why not?!" Yamato shouted as he stood back up slowly. "What's different between us!?" he demanded as the glow grew stronger. "Humans...humans are animals, too!" he shouted as the Kings Credential shattered into the same device as those of the others. Everyone gasped in shock at seeing that. The only one who did not gasp was Caliburn, who merely kept a cool gaze at the human. Yamato held the device up and slowly flipped it open as the Number 1 began glowing bright red. Yamato pressed the button quickly. =EAGLE~!= "Honnoo...KAKUSEI!" Yamato roared as he lifted the device up like the others, forming the cube of energy colored in bright crimson red light. "Die!" Jagged roared, unleashing blasts of plasma that hit the cube and exploded. The flames then dispersed all of a sudden as Yamato stood up perfectly fine. He was now clad in a bright red version of the suit like Leo's and Tusk's. Yamato looked down at himself before everyone heard a loud screech from the sky. A projection of an Eagle then flew over Yamato, painting an eagle's head on his chest as a mask formed in front of him and into a bright red helmet. Yamato's helmet had ridges at the top to resemble feathers, green eyes resting above his visor , and a bright yellow mouthguard resembling a beak. As if to add flair to his transformation bright red wings of energ formed from his back before dispersing into feathers. "How'd he end up as bird?!" Sonic gawked. "...Do you think it's because of the Mobian who gave him the Kings Credential?" Roll suggested. "May be..." Flash shrugged but was amazed seeing Yamato's Transformation Yamato looked up before he took a deep breath, the fires around the forest seemed to fly around him as he jumped up before he swung his arms around in front of his chest with his pointer and little fingers pointing out as he struck a heroic looking pose. "Ozora no Ouja!" he called out as the flames dispersed in a large gust of wind. "Zyuoh Eagle!" "Zyuoh...Eagle?" Lion asked in shock and awe at seeing their human friend...transform like them. "Kono hoshi yo…" Eagle cooley stated as he put his hand to his helmet and slowly slicked it back as if fixing his hair, "Namerunayo!" he shouted at Jagged. "What you say to me, you lower life form punk?!" Jagged shouted before he pointed. "Moeba's blast him into dust!" "Zyuoh Buster!" Eagle declared as he aimed and fired perfectly, hitting several Moeba's and knocking them out of the air. The eyes of the eagle on his chest then began to glow. "Yasei...Kaihou!" he shouted as he spread his arms out...at that, red feathers burst out of his back as he grew bright red wings connected to his arms. "Wings?!" Lion shouted in shock. "Yamato grew wings!" "Ha!" he shouted, pushing against the ground with his legs...causing the ground beneath his feet to suddenly cave into a large crater as he flew high into the air with a spin. "Did he just break the ground taking off?" Sonic blinked twice. "We do that when we run at full speed from a standing position," Roll pointed out. "Yeah...but that's that...This is flying. From a stationary standpoint, no less...not even normal bird Mobians have shown that much power." Sonic pointed out as Zyuoh Eagle flew around the Moeba's much faster than them. "At least...none I've ever met. The guy who Yamato met must have been crazy powerful." "Hai, hai," Roll nodded as she watched their human friend fight. "Ok that's bad ass" Flash spoke seeing the fight. Zyuoh Eagle flew around the Moeba's before he stomped on the jet packs of several of them, sending them plummeting to the ground. He then flew off at great speeds, catching up to several of the flying grunts before he used his wings to smack them out of his path. He then suddenly stopped midair and let his wings catch a gust of wind, sending him suddenly flying backwards. His wings backhanded two more of the Moebas as he did. He then spun around before flapping once and sending himself back up into the air. He then leaned and flipped forward before he began spinning forward...as he was encased in fire and crashed into the Moebas as a spinning flaming ball. Oh...the Spin Dash…" Roll noted as Zyuoh Eagle ran through several Moeba's, "...Version Kaen, even!" "How'd he learn to how to do that?! I never showed him and I don't think he's even met Tails," Sonic frowned. "Sugei…" Lion gawked as Eagle used his wings to bash more and more Moeba's out of the air. "He's so fast." Tiger awed. "What are you waiting for?" the four looked over to the sword calling to them, "If he is capable of performing something such as that, why can not you all do so?" "He's right…!" Lion shouted standing up. He then began to growl as the lion's eyes on his suit lit up, "Yasei Kaihou!" "Yasei Kaihou!" the others all shouted. At that, Lion and Tiger's hands began to grow as claws poked out of their gloves and pads formed inside their hands. Shark grew a huge dorsal fin from the back of her suit while Elephant's feet began growing to the point they looked like the feet of an actual elephant, even with three black toes. "What the heck? Their hands and feet just swelled up and Sela's suit just lost its tightness in the back," Sonic frowned. "If I am correct, then there is far more to it than that, Knave," Caliburn replied. "Oh...my claws got bigger!" Lion said before they all looked at Jagged. "Let's not let Yamato have all the fun! Attack!" he ordered. "Hai!" they all shouted. "Gao!" Zyuoh Lion roared as he swung his claws, sending a surge of lightning at Jagged. "What?!" Jagged asked before he was hit with the lightning, making him stagger back sparking. "Gao~" Tiger said in a more cute way as she swiped her claws quickly, sending multiple pink-colored slashes of energy at Jagged. "What tha...ah! Cold! Cold!" Jagged cried as each blast hit him and coated him in ice until he was totally frozen over. "Hah!" Shark called as she flipped forward while water surged around her. She then began rolling forward as the water moved with her. Her dorsal fin making her spinning form resembling a buzzsaw. "Ike!" Elephant shouted as he raised his foot up and kicked Shark forward like a soccer ball. "Ike masuyo!" Shark shouted as she began moving around hitting Jagged from multiple angles. Each of her attacks cutting into his body. She then dove for the ground...and literally dove into it as if it were water to her. "Where...where did she go?!" Jagged demanded before Shark flipped out of the ground in front of him and kicked him in the face while doing so sending him stumbling back. "Paon!" Elephant trumpeted as he stomped his foot into the ground, it then began to crack and glow green 'till it reached Jagged. The ground then erupted with green energy, sending him flying up into the sky. "Oh...good distance Tusk." Lion complemented while patting his back, his large claws digging into his back by accident. "Ah! Claws, Leo! Claws!" Elephant shouted. "They...just shot lightning, made ice, water, and even broke open the ground," Sonic blinked twice. "You thought they could do that because Yamato-san can fly and use fire, Caliburn-san?" Roll asked. "Indeed. They have five powerful elements on their side now," Caliburn replied, "Let us see how they will defeat this fiend." "Oh right. Yamato." Sonic remembered as Zyuoh Eagle finished the last of the Moeba with a kick to its back, crushin its jet pack. Eagle then turned to see the flying Jagged. Eagle shouted as he flapped his wings, sending himself right at the alien. He then clapped his hands in front of him before he began spinning in a spiral. Wind and Fire began to spin around him until he turned into...what could best be described as a drill made of fire. Eagle shouted as he crashed into Jagged and sent him flying into the ground with a painful crash and even forcing him to dig a trench in the dirt with the force. Eagle flapped his wings keeping him stationary in the air as he looked down at Jagged, who groaned in pain as he got back up. "You...lower life forms...are pushing back me?! Jagged-sama!" he shouted in anger as he began firing at Zyuoh Eagle. "Yamato!" everyone gasped. "Ha!" Yamato's voice shouted as the smoke cleared, revealing Zyuoh Eagle with his wings gone. He held his hand up and everyone noticed a sword in his hand, but his was different. His sword was a long sword with red wings as a hand guard, a black handle, a red eagle symbol in the center, the blade had silver razor edges and a silver point, but the interior was black and seemed segmented. "EagRiser!" Eagle shouted as he held it with both arms before he swung down, slashing Jagged down the chest and leaving a deep cut in his chest. "Rather sharp," Caliburn observed, "But I feel there is something...more...to it as well." "What do you mean? ...It's just a sword." Sonic muttered in confusion, "But...why does Yamato get his own personal weapon though?" he asked, scratching his head. "Maybe it was a gift from the Mobian who gave him the Kings Credential all those years ago," Roll crossed her arms under her bust. "Then that sword holds importance," Caliburn noted. Eagle swung his sword, deflecting each blast sent at him. 'Doshte...Why do I know how to fight like this?' He asked as he sliced a plasma ball in half before he charged and slashed Jagged across the chest. 'Was I always this strong? Or is this the Kings Credential's doing?' he asked as he kicked Jagged and used the force to separate them from one another giving them distance. Eagle then swung his sword blocking another blast and then flicked his wrist. At that, the blade seemed to double in length as he cut down yet another plasma ball. As he swung his sword up, the segmented portions all began to click and break open, revealing a thin cable connecting all of them. Eagle then swung his weapon down and like a whip it cracked and hit the ground. Eagle swung his new whip/blade around before he swung it at Jagged. The long prehensile blade flew at the alien and slashed him across the chest quickly before the crack of the tip made him stumble back. Eagle then began swinging his arms around quickly making the long snake like blade swing to his will, and strike the alien multiple times. "Gah! Ah! Ite! Stop it!" Jagged cried in pain as he tried blocking with his arm, only for the tip...to suddenly curve up and over his head. The tip then round his rear and struck their. "YAH!" he cried holding his rear in pain. "What are you? Some kind of sadist?!" "Eh...I didn't do that." Eagle shook off the notion. "It's a whip...the sword becomes a whip." Sonic muttered in surprise with a blank expression. "I believe the term is; 'I told you so,'" Caliburn chuckled softly. "...For some reason, I imagine a white-haired lady in S&M using it until she's turned into a frog and crushed," Roll sweatdropped, causing Sonic to look at her with a raised brow. "Uhm...I think you have a lot of repressed...things," Sonic muttered, backing away a few steps. "Which can go away if you don't…" "We're not killing him," Sonic deadpanned. "Oi, you two!" Flash shouted, "Have a lovers quarrel later! After they dealt with the alien rock with a laser arm!" "We're not lovers!" Sonic snapped, both blushing. "He's getting back up!" Roll called, shaking the blush off her cheeks. "Ugh…" Jagged then thought of an idea he saw the other three where they were as he then made another shot and fired at the three. "Guys get out of the way Now!" Eagle yelled sonic and Roll did but Flash didn't he was standing there only."FLASH GET OUT OF THE WAY!" But Flash simply raised his hand and soon stopped the blast in mid air, surprising them. He then looked at Jagged with hate in his eyes. "You came to our planet... And invaded it by hurting the humans, Animals and Those who I love...." He said with venom in his toon." I... Will never forgive someone who does this,Never!" He then threw the attack back at Jagged sending him flying back. "Wow.." sonic muttered seeing that. Soon to everyone surprise the cube in flash pocket glowed. He took it out and soon tye cube glowed and changed in to the one which the others have. "Ok, his a hybrid so we can see that.." Elephant spoke. Flash flipped opened the phone as the number 7 Glowed. He then pressed it. =FOX~!= "Honnoo...KAKUSEI!" Flash roared as he lifted the device up like the others, forming the cube of energy colored in bright orange light.He was now clad in a bright orange version of the suit like the guys. Flash looked down at himself before everyone heard a loud roar from the the forest as a projection of a orange fox came and planted a fox head on his suite and a fox helmet with Black shades. "Honu no Ouja"Fox said as heade a hand jester of reaching something and then grabbing it and then hit his fist on his his chest"Zyuoh Fox!" "Sugoui~!" Roll shouted in aw as she saw Flash transformed in to a fox hero. "Yamato," Fox spoke as Eagle looked at him" I got this, so let me fight him." Eagle looked at him and soon nodded. The others then got the message and got back as Zyuoh Fox looked at Jagged. "So another one of you suite hero came. Big deal. I still crush you." Jagged taunted as he soon fired blast at Fox bit he simply raised his hand and stopped them in midair like last time."Nani?!" "You forget, I can control fire and your blast are nothing to me." Fox said as he soon fired the shots back at him making explosions as jagged fell back. "Ok, Yamato's fore and his are different. Hows that possible?" Sonic asked. "It's a Shinobi thing. But that kind of power is mostly trained to a hellish level. Flash I Don't know how he got to that level." Roll told. "Impossible...I'm Jagged...a team leader...I can't be defeated by a bunch of inferior life forms!" Jagged coughed as his spikes were all broken and most of his body seemed cracked. "I...I...I CAN'T LOSE!" "You already have!" Fox stated he then ran at high speed like sonic and roll and start to deliver kicks and punches in different directions and soon his fist was on fire as he hit jagged on the face sending him back. He then did a hand symbol and soon two clones of his appear in a puff of smoke. "Wait he can... You know what never mind. He's a fox Shinobi. I should have seen that coming." Elephant muttered. Soon the three ran twords jagged as he got up and saw the three coming but soon the three went off in a blur and came from each direction and star to deliver fire punches and finally he kicked jagged back, as the clones disappeared he then put his hand up as the fire around tye jungle start to form around his hand and made a giant fire ball. "You cause harm others, But the fire you used.. is gonna be your own demise." Fox yelled as he ran at Jagged and soon made the fire ball small and hot him in the chest sending him flying up."Sayōnara" "Impossible!" Jagged cried before he exploded, leaving him in chunks with his upper torso landing on the ground as his eyes lost color. "That....Was.... Awesome!" Roll yelled as she saw that. She ran towards fox and was now Infront of him." You were amazing Flash-san! The way you manipulate the fire and the way you make clone jitsu..." "Shadow." "Eh..?" Roll asked confused. "That was shadow clone jitsu, it's different and stronger then normal clone jitsu, an enemy can sense the fake clone and see which is real. But in shadow clone jitsu the clones have chakra energy in them making the enemy hard to see which is real." Fox explained. "Wait, How did you know shadow clone jitsu then. I don't know how. I only know clone jitsu and that's not even done straight." Roll told. "Practice...." He simply told her. The others were simply seeing the back to back talk. "You know, they're like family siblings." Amu muttered before looking at her reflection in the water, "Oh wow~! These are so cute!" "So...what do we do with it?" Lion asked as he found a branch and poked the giant slab of alien stone that was Jagged's upper torso. "It's dead...whatever it was." Elephant stated. "I know your rule Sonic...but this being was much worse then Eggman ever was… Furthermore, it was too dangerous to allow to be on this world." "Ah...I get it. Besides...hard to call that thing alive," Sonic said with a long sigh as he looked at what remained of Jagged. "What worries me…" Eagle spoke up as they looked at him, "Aliens...don't invade alone." he stated, making them all freeze. "Yup, they always come in a group..."Fox spoke up making them worry more. "Oh sugar honey iced tea," Roll whispered. "Those things killed Jagged." Azald stated in shock. "We need to attack." Quval stated. "Hmm...Naria." Ginis said as he grabbed a coin before it flashed gold with an orange crystal inside of it now, "Give Jagged a Continue." "Hai Ginis-sama." the female alien bowed, gently taking the coin before she walked off and was teleported away in a beam of green. Everyone who had fought Jagged or witnessed stopped as they heard the sounds of...coins? They looked to see green coins of energy stack on the ground to the side of a person before it dispersed to reveal the black and green colored Naria. "This time it's a woman…" Tiger noted as they all looked at Naria. "This coin is infused with our master Ginis' own cellular energy...please don't waste it." she stated, walking up to Jagged's remains. She then kissed the gold coin in her hand before she slotted it into a coin slot in his shoulder. At that, Jagged's eyes lit up bright red again. He then began laughing, making those not use to this 'Continue' gasp in terror. At that, the remains of Jagged floated up before his body began...regrowing until he was back to his perfectly healthy state when he first landed on Earth. He then began growing...and growing...until the once normal sized Jagged towered over them at almost 50 meters high if not more. "Thank you...NARIA!" Jagged's voice boomed as he looked down at the female alien. "Impossible! He was dead!" Elephant shouted. "Hehehe…" Naria laughed at them. "Such simple minded life forms...You still believe life and death are so simply understood. In the face of my master's power...death is but an inconvenience." "...Oh sweet spirits above," Roll's eyes widened, "They consider death as just losing a life in a video game!" "Please tell me your new abilities have something to deal with that," Caliburn noted, glancing up at the giant Jagged. "Anything better than going the Attack on Titan rout." Eagle complained. "Attack on what now?" the Mobians asked. "It's a manga and anime in this world." Fox told,"Mine is Naruto and Bleach mostly that's how I learned about my training." "Oh...a what?" they asked once more. "I'll give you guys all the earth entertainment afterwards!" he shouted, making them all jump. Why was Yamato shouting so scary to them anyway? It could be since they saw him as kind and quiet normally. "You'll get used to it soon." Fox told. At that, the cubes they used to transform began beeping. "Nani?" Eagle asked as they pulled them out. He flipped his open as the number 1 and the yellow button were both flashing. "I think your hopes are answered, Caliburn-san," he stated. He then pushed the yellow cube and '1'. =ZYUOH CUBES~!= "Those things sure like to sing," Sonic blinked twice. At that each cube in their hands lit up as 5 cubes of energy formed colored in Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, and White. They then reformed into solid shapes. A red cube with a white '1' painted on it, a blue cube with a white number '2' on it, a yellow cube with a black number '3,' a black and green cube with a yellow number '4,' and a white cube with a black number '5.' The Red Cube landed in Zyuoh Eagle's hands before it unfolded two arms that became wings, while an eagle head folded out. =CUBE~ EAGLE~!= The Blue Cube landed Zyuoh Shark's hand before it unfolded a shark head and extended out a tail and dorsal fin. =CUBE~ SHARK~!= The Yellow cube unfolded into a blocky Lion in Zyuoh Lion's hand. =CUBE~ LION~!= The Black and green cube unfolded into a small Elephant in Zyuoh elephant's hand. =CUBE~ ELEPHANT~!= Finally the White Cube unfolded into a white tiger in Zyuoh Tiger's hand. =CUBE~ TIGER~!= "Sugoi!" Roll and Tiger cheered. "...Why do those cubes sing?" Sonic groaned. "Hehehe...Look, look! I get a mini me!" Lion cheered. "It's so cute!" Tiger cheered, holding her's up to her mask. "Kawaii," Roll cooed. "This is what we got?" Eagle tilted his head as his Cube Eagle flew around him and perched on his shoulder. "Cool, let me try." Fox told as he took out his phone and press the 7 button. Soon it glowed crimson orange. =CUBE~ FOX~!= His cube folded into a crimson orange fox who landed on his hand as it squeak out a 'roar'. "This is even more kiwi." Roll cooded at the young fox. "Do not underestimate anything in life, Sir Yamato," Caliburn informed, Sonic's head snapping to look at him with wide eyes, "If they were created by these Kings Credentials and responded to this situation, then there is something about them that can help deal with this giant." "Right. Zyuoh Cubes." Eagle ordered. "Lend us your power!" The Six cubes all gave out adorable high pitched animal cries as they began glowing. They then flew up into the air...Where they began growing...and growing...and growing until each was roughly a third the size of Jagged. "Deka!" Lion shouted in amazement, Roll falling over from trying to look at them all at once. "I think we pilot them." Eagle said before he jumped and entered Cube Eagle. He found himself sitting in a chair resting inside of a red cube frame while in front of him was a podium with another red cube with a number 1 written on the sides, except for the face pointing at him; it had a slot that fit another cube. "Soka!" he said, putting his Kings Credential inside. "Cube Eagle, Go!" At that, Cube Eagle let out a powerful eagle cry before it flew at Jagged. The turbine-like portion above its head began glowing before unleashing a barrage of red energy blasts down upon the giant alien. "Ah!" Jagged shouted, surprised by the attack. "Oh...that looks awesome! Count me in!" Fox agreed as he jumped into Cube Lion, finding the same kind of cockpit like Eagles only all yellow and his cube had 7 written on it, "Cube Fix, Go!" he shouted. Cube Fox roared like an actual beast, the sound spooking Jagged as he turned to find the Cube bite down on his rear. "AH!" he cried in pain. "Gabu-gabu!" Zyuoh Fox cheered, "Oh, Im loving this." "We can't let them have all the fun." Shark sighed with a shake of her head. She then jumped into Cube Shark landing in the blue version of the same cockpit as the others. Her control cube having 2 written on it. "Cube Shark, Go!" "Me too!" Tiger called, landing in Cube Tiger's control room. "Cube Tiger, Ike!" "Cube Elephant, Go!" Elephant called out already in his pilot seat. "Cube lion, Go!" Lion shouted I'm the piolet seat. "Oh come on!" Jagged complained as he began shooting, each shot causing more fire. "Ah!" Eagle called out. "Leave the fire to me!" Elephant shouted as he turned Cube Elephant around. It then began spraying supercooled water from its trunk, dousing all the fires. "..." a soaked Sonic glowered at Roll, who was smirking under an umbrella she had pulled out of nowhere. "Haha...You must always be prepared, Knave." Caliburn chuckled, enjoying Sonic's luck...or lack thereof. *THUNK* "...I am not amused, Knave," Caliburn noted from the trunk he had been embedded in. "Yosha!" Eagle nodded as the fires were put out. "Reinforcements!" Jagged shouted as triangular ships flew in and began shooting at them. "I'll take care of them, minna!" Eagle shouted. "The rest of you attack Jagged!" "Got it!" Lion roared. "Understood!" Shark agreed. "Hai! Leave it to us!" Tiger cheered, winking behind her helmet. "Got it." Elephant nodded as the five all charged. "Hai!" Fox shouted. Cube Eagle flew up and crashed through the alien ships, obliterating them. It then began shooting its turbine lasers, destroying more of the ships. Zyuoh Eagle then noticed ships coming at him from behind. He quickly twisted the control cube forcing Cube Eagle to make a sharp turn before it began flying in a circle as all the alien ships followed. Cube Eagle began flying in a circle, causing a huge tornado after enough speed was built up. The winds knocked the alien ship off balance and sent them all crashing into one another, making them explode. "Gao!" Lion roared. Cube Lion mimicked him as its jaw opened, unleashing a stream of lightning. Each bolt hit the space ships, destroying them. The extra bolts all hit Jagged, making him stagger back in pain. "Play time, Cube Tiger-chan!" Tiger cheered. Cube Tiger roared as its claws began swiping, unleashing pink energy boomerangs. Each one hit several ships. After clearing out a small battalion of them, the alien ships were taken out and the boomerangs flew at Jagged and exploded on impact, sending him stumbling back. "Teme!" he growled, aiming his cannon at Cube Tiger. "No, you don't!" Zyuoh Shark shouted as Cube Shark jumped and bit the cannon arm, its teeth gnawing away at his weapon limb. "GAH!...AAAH!" he cried as he realized Cube Lion was biting his rear again. "Gao...gao!" Zyuoh Lion chanted as the two kept chomping down. "Paon!" Zyuoh Elephant trumpeted as Cube Elephant mimicked him. Its trunk began unleashing a gatling gun-like barrage of green light blasts, bombarding Jagged's chest. "Gufaw!" he cried, stumbling back. Cube Lion folded back into a cube, making Jagged trip over it as a result. "Gah!" he groaned hitting the ground. Cube Shark let go of his arm and jumped up before folding back into cube mode as well. It then fell and landed on his chest, slamming him into the ground more. "My turn!" Fox cheers as cube fox claws glow orange as it ran twords jagged and slashed him with fire claws and then hit his legs on his face making him fall back. "Oh...they're using the cube modes as a means of attack!" Caliburn awed, seeing that from his spot on a tree. "Ganbatte, minna!" Roll cheered. "RAH!" Jagged roared, tossing Cube Shark off his chest as he got back up. "I'm sick and tired of you lower life forms!" "Stop calling us lower life forms!" Zyuoh Eagle shouted from Cube Eagle. He then made Cube Eagle fold into cube mode and crash into Jagged's chest, "Ha!" he shouted as he began spinning the control cube rapidly. Cube Eagle began spinning as well, grinding against Jagged's chest and push him back across the ground. After a few miles of being moves Cube Eagle unfolded and unleashed its laser barrage point blank into Jagged's chest, sending him flying back into the side of a mountain. The Cube Animal then flew straight up into the sky to get away from the kaiju sized alien. "Hm?" Zyuoh Eagle asked as his cube was beeping again. "Another new thing?" he asked pulling it out as the numbers 1-2-3 where all blinking with the blue button. "Soka…" "What's this?" Lion asked, noticing the same thing. "I think we press these." Shark muttered. "Yosh." Eagle said pressing the three buttons and then the blue button. =EAGLE! SHARK! LION!= At that, three golden squares formed in the air before lighting on fire. Eagle, Shark and Lon jumped through them only for Shark ,Fox and Elephant to be blocked from going through. "Eh...first come first serve?" Tiger asked. "Pretty much." Fox spoke. "...For some reason, seeing the lion one go through a flaming ring seems right," Sonic noted, "...And now I want to see just Leo do that in a tent." "Then twist!" Zyuoh Eagle, Shark and Lion all said, twisting the top of the cube to get the blue face matched up. They then plugged them back into the control cube. "Dobutsu Gattai!" At that, their Cube animals folded up and floated around before lining up in a specific order by number. =SAN! NI! ICHI!= As the countdown happened, all three cubes stacked with Lion as the base, Shark as the center, and Eagle as the top; their numbers pointing at Jagged. They then all slowly turned around as something fell from the sky. It was a large spear-like weapon or key of sorts considering it plugged into the turbine of Eagle and inserted through the three cubes. The end of the key had a block colored in red, resembling a crown, with a tiny gold bit. The wings of Eagle unfolded but instead transformed into arms, a face slowly revealed itself from the block atop Cube Eagle. The eagle head unfolded before Shark and Lion's cubes...split in half and formed a waist and legs. A shark's face acted as the belt as two lion faces were on each knee. =ZYUOH~ KING~!= "Kassei! Zyuoh King!" Zyuoh Eagle, Shark, and Lion called out, their seats all in one huge cockpit. "Oh!" Eagle gawked. "Sugei!" Lion shouted. "...I always wanted to do something like this," Roll giggled in excitement before digging around in her purse before pulling out...a microphone and a camera on a tripod. "Do what?" Sonic asked in confusion. "Konnichiwa minna! Watashi wa Sakurai Roll desu! I'm reporting live from a nature preserve in the human world where two giants are about to go head to head!" Roll spoke into the camera before moving to the side to show the two giants, "Jagged from outer space against Zyuoh King!" "Who are you even talking to?!" Sonic asked. "Ike, Zyuoh King!" Tiger cheered from inside her seat. "I don't know what you just did, but bring it on, you weak wimps!" Jagged roared as he charged. "Oh! And Jagged opens up with a charge at Zyuoh King! Even from here, I can feel light tremors from his stomping," Roll commentated. Zyuoh King blocked a swing from Jagged before punching hic chest, making sparks fly off the impact. A sword then flew from Zyuoh King's crown before it caught it. The Mecha swung the blade cutting Jagged's chest making more sparks fly. Jagged aimed and fired his cannon at Zyuoh King only for the ball of plasma to explode on impact and a smoke cloud to cover the mecha. "Oh no! That sneaky Jagged managed to get a direct hit! Ganbatte, Zyuoh King! Don't lose!" Roll commentated. "Ahahaha!" Jagged laughed. "Not so fast!" Zyuoh Eagles voice shouted confusing Jagged. (Insert song: Dobutsu Gattai: Zyuoh King) Zyuoh King's arm swung out from the smoke the blade in it's hand cutting the smoke and then through Jagged's cannon arm. "AH!" Jagged cried as his cannon arm sparked and crumbled, leaving only cubes made of whatever his body was composed of. "My Sti-cannon arm!" he cried, holding the arm. "That is one sharp sword," Sonic noted. "Indeed. It was sharp enough to cut through his limb as if they had heated the blade and used it upon soft butter," Caliburn noted, "Even with the size of them both, the force behind that swing must have been staggering." "With Jagged down a limb, Zyuoh King is dominating the battle! Delivering slash after slash, Zyuoh King is showing why it has the ferocity of a shark, the might of a lion, and the grace of an eagle!" Roll commentated as the two continued their fight. Zyuoh King slashed Jagged again before punching him, making stumble back even more. The giant mecha stepped forward, shaking up clouds of dirt with each stomp of its legs. Once close enough, it slashed again, making Jagged cry in pain once more. "Let's end this fight!" Zyuoh Eagle ordered. "Yatta! They're calling for a hissatsu!" Roll cheered as Zyuoh King readied itself and began glowing. "How are you so sure?" Sonic asked. "All giant robots glow when they use their best attack," Roll replied with a wink. At that, the three pilots took out their cubes and began twisting them around to the red face again before plugging it back in. At that, Zyuoh King swung its arm around as cubes of light formed in a triangle pattern around it. "King Sword!" The three pilots called out, "Zyuoh Giri!" they shouted, spinning the control cubes as large energy projections of their zyuoh cubes formed from their control seats. ZyuohKing swung the sword down as it was glowing in red, yellow, and blue before slashing through Jagged. Zyuoh King sped past the alien in the process of its attack. Jagged began sparking with energy all over his body for a moment as he turned around to face Zyuoh King's back. "This...it can't be...how could I lose twice?!" he cried before his body exploded, causing it to rain cubes colored like him. (end song) "Yatta! Zyuoh King wins in its grand debut!" Roll cheered, "Here's to more battles in the future, Zyuoh King!" "Seriously, to who is this going to?!" Sonic asked, looking at the camera. "YEAH! WE WIN!" Lion roared. "Yatta…" Eagle cheered with a happy sigh. "Nice work," Shark noted. "Arigato...Zyuoh King." Eagle thanked. As everyone cheered, two figure walked up to the Link Cube and found the last Kings Credential. A clawed hand then picked it up before the two start walking away. Not before the other figure look towards Zyuoh Fox Mecha before going off. "Did you find the last one yet?" Tusk demanded as he poked out from behind a tree. "I can't find it in the stream," Sela replied as Sonic skidded to a halt. "I couldn't find it the way I went," Sonic replied. "Leo's stuck in a tree!" Leo called from a nearby tree. "Leo...we talked about the third person thing." Amu sighed. "I couldn't find the Kings Credential the way I went, minna," Roll noted as she ran over, "And without it…" she looked at the Link Cube, her ears pointing down while her tail drooped, "...We can't get home." "You mean...all of us are stuck here?" Leo asked, getting free. "No...we're just able to rebuild the ancient Link Cube, but it lacks the final battery...Of course, we're stuck here!" Tusk snapped at Leo. "And don't forget all the poor citizens that got sucked in, too," Sela added, "Along with Sonic's siblings, Queen Aleena, Aphrodite-san, Tails, Nicole, and Haseo." "You just had to bring up that last one," Tusk pointed at Roll, who was now curled up before a tree in fetal position, sighing sadly. "Don't worry, Roll-chan. We'll find everyone who is lost then we'll all go home." Amu said, hugging Roll. "And you can leave Eggman trapped here where he won't be able to bother any of you." Flash offered. "Here he has almost no power, and will undoubtedly get arrested sooner or later." "Guy makes a good point." Sonic agreed happily. "We can trap Eggman in a world where he has nothing, and no power. Worse than anything we could do back home." he stated, "Now...I'm gonna go...explore." he said before he blurred off, leaving everyone behind. "I can't do that," Roll stated, "Even if you say that, I can't let Eggman stay alive. He's done too much to just be punished like this." "Roll-chan, Sonic left already. You're arguing with nobody." Amu pointed out. "I wasn't arguing with Sonic-san," Roll frowned, "I was referring to what Flash-san said about Eggman trapped here. You know why, too, Amu-nee." "Even if you can't agree with it, Roll-san," Yamato spoke up, "Your revenge doesn't matter right now. You need to find your friends and family first. Right now...Eggman doesn't matter. If you chose to ignore the family you have...revenge will be meaningless." he stated, "People who have family they can still be with...should focus on protecting them above all else." "I know, Yamato-san," Roll replied, "Family comes first to me always. But if we do run into Eggman, I will end him then and there." "You're just dragging on a pointless argument," Tusk complained. "We need to find the final Kings Credential." Amu considered on something before shaking her head, "We also need to be ready for a long stay if we can't find it soon." she pointed to the west, "See? It's already turning to night." "...Ah!" Yamato said. "You can all stay with us," he offered with a smile. "Really?" Amu, Roll, and Leo asked, looking at him. "Hai...but...how to explain all of you to our Uncle?" Flash muttered. "...Ano...Maybe we could be those 'cause players' you mentioned," Amu suggested. "That'd work for the city...but my uncle...He makes costumes. He's liable to invade some personal space to find out how you made yours…" Yamato muttered regretfully. "Plus he already knows my animal traits but it's better to not tell him about yours." Flash told "...He better not grab Leo's tail…" Leo grumbled, petting his tail. "I'll reboot him." Sela said before grabbing a branch and nailing Leo upside the head, knocking him out. "Well...I guess we should get going then." Yamato said. "Go on ahead." Tusk sighed. "Tusk...you're not coming with us?" Amu asked. "No," he glared at them. He then walked over to the Link Cube before just standing there. "Ano...is he okay?" Flash asked. "Tusk...is very hard to get used to new folks." Amu explained, patting his shoulder. "Hai…" Yamato nodded slowly before Roll ran over to Tusk and handed him her umbrella on the chance it rained. Omake: Eggman's Legal troubles! "Cubot...Orbot!" Eggman shouted as he dug himself out of a dumpster. "Right here, sir," Orbot replied, falling out of a rain gutter. "Eeyup. Ah'm right here, pardner," Cubot replied, a stick of wheat in his 'mouth.' "Oh joy...another change." Eggman groaned, taking a banana off his head. "Where are we?" "Best guess, Sir...Earth." Orbot explained as they saw normal humans all trying to avoid the trio. "Damn it! That no good Yamato trapped me back here on Earth!" Eggman growled, "...Wait. Then that also means Sonic is trapped here as well…" "Yes...but so are we...with no means to go home." Orbot reminded. "I know that!" Eggman snapped, "No matter. I just need the right tools and such, and I can build the Eggman Empire here on Earth!" Eggman laughed as he began walking and walked off the sidewalk. Before Eggman could continue jaywalking, he stopped at hearing the sound of sirens as he turned to see a figure in a bike ride up to and then in front of him. Riding the bike was a figure wearing bright blue armor with a signal light on his chest of green, yellow and red, red siren lights on each shoulder, and knee pads resembling the same stop lights as well. He wore a motorcycle helmet on his head, with a black visor and a metal mask resembling sculpted lips. The figure slowly got off the police bike before he looked down at Eggman Cubot and Orbot. "Upholding the traffic rules of justice! My name is...Signalman!" he stated as he pulled out a ticket book and wrote on it, "Young humans who can not follow the basics of traffic safety...should stay home and eat pancakes." he said, sticking the ticket to Eggman's forehead. "What?" he asked, taking it off before his eyes bugged out. "5...5...50,000 dollar fine for jaywalking?!" "I'm taking it easy on you, old man. Return to your retirement home." Signalman ordered, poking Eggman's nose. "Old man?! I am Dr. Robotnik! The greatest scientific mind in the world!" Eggman snapped. "Soka...then you can afford the full ticket." Signalman said, taking the ticket and giving Eggman a new one. "100,000?!-?!-?!" he shouted in outrage. "You know what I think about this?!" "What?" Singalman asked before Eggman stuffed the tickets in his pants and then took them out and stuck them on singalman's face. "Now piss off!" he muttered, walking away. "Resisting and breaking the laws of Traffic safety…" Signalman said as he crumpled the ticket. "Signizer!" he shouted, taking a badge-like device with a stop light theme before unfolding and extending a baton. "Shock mode!" he shouted, poking Eggman's back. "Shock...shock mode?" he asked as Signalman pressed the trigger. "GAH! BZZZRT!" he cried as he was shocked so much, his skeleton became visible. "Law breaking monsters like you do not deserve pancakes." he said as a charred Eggman fell over, landing on Cubot. "Erg!" Cubot grunted as he poked out, sparking a little from a few shocks from Eggman's body and wearing an Italian mustache, "That's a spicy-a meatball-a!" "Oh my...Um, officer…" Orbot began. "Accomplice!" Signalman shouted, bonking Orbot and shocking him, before he bonked Cubot and shocked him, knocking them both out. "Yosh…" he said, writing another ticket and sticking it to Eggman's forehead. "Uh…." Eggman groaned. "Don't tell me...200,000?" "One Million!" Signalman stated. "...screw that!~" Eggman shouted, picking up his robots and running as fast he could. "Chase in progress!" he shouted, mounting his bike before changing his Signalizer into a gun, "Smash Beam!" he shouted, shooting a yellow laser that hit the back of Eggman's head and knocking him down. "Ow! The back of my head." "Your skull is harder than normal, perp. But it won't matter...you're going to intergalactic traffic jail!" "Traffic jail?" "It's like Traffic school...that you can't escape from." he stated, cuffing Eggman to his robots and slinging him over the bike. "Pft! Please I know someone who really breaks those laws in seconds." Eggman said. "Hi, Eggman! Bye, Eggman." a blue blur said, blaring by and causing a speed tracker to blow up. "Hm!" Signalman said, a glint forming in his visor. He cuffed Eggman to a light pole before mounting his bike once again. "Upholding the traffic rules of justice! My name is...Signalman! I'm going!" he shouted, driving off while sticking another ticket to Eggman's head now that he can't remove it. "...What does it say?" Eggman asked. Orbot managed to look at it, "...Um...You do not wish to know, sir." "You have 1 billion dollars to pay," Cubot said in the voice of Dr. Evil from Austin Powers. Even holding Orbot's pinky finger to his mouth. "...How do you get all these things?" Orbot questioned, seeing Cubot wearing a grey business jacket. "Gahhhh!" Eggman shouted. "I hate this world!" "Don't worry, Sir. I will have us free soon." "How long?" "An hour." "No one's gonna catch Sonic. That guy's gonna be chasing him forever." "Hey… What's with that weirdo over there?" some onlookers asked. "He argued with the legendary Signalman...Is he stupid or something?" "Totally super stupid." people began pointing and laughing at Eggman. "Piss off!" Eggman snapped before multiple cop cars flew by.. "Well, at least one of them noticed us." Orbot said...at that one cop car stopped. The officers looking at them. "Oh, way to go, Orbot," Cubot commented sarcastically, "And in case you weren't paying attention, that was sarcasm!" "But…" "Zip it!" Cubot said and when Orbot tried to say something, "Zip it!" "Alright sir, come on. We'll take you back to your old folks home." the cops said putting Eggman in the back seat and driving off leaving the robots behind. "I AM NOT AN OLD MAN!" Eggman barked. "Sh…" Orbot began, only for Cubot to hold a finger to his mouth. "Zip." Cubot said, making Orbot glare at him.
