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! "Leo...LEO?!" Yamato shouted as they already lost Leo while walking towards his and flash home. "Where could he have gone?" he asked, looking around in confusion. "Oh don't worry. Knowing Leo, he's taking a nap somewhere." Amu muttered. "Roll-chan, how many times have you known Leo to fall out of a tree in the middle of the city while taking a nap?" "What day is it?" "Wednesday," Tusk replied. "Since I first met him, he's fallen out of trees while taking a nap in the city 134,198 times," Roll replied with complete certainty. "See?" Amu smiled. "And yet he's still stronger than most of us." Sela sighed. "If something in him were serious...he almost might be respectable." Amu began to laugh, "Aahaha...oh...You were being serious." Amu blinked, seeing the look the shark was giving her. "Guys… That's not inspiring faith in Leo." Flash sighed in his discise. The group then heard people gasping and talking before the 5 of them slowly walked over to some trees where they saw families pointing and taking pictures...of Leo...in a tree. "ZzzzZZZzzzz...steak...pot roast...mutton chops…" Leo listed types of meat in his sleep, "Sushi...yellowtail." "...I take it that this is a normal occurrence for those that often come here?" Roll questioned, seeing none of them freaking out. "Uhm...I think they think that Leo is a cosplayer." Flash muttered. "ZZZZZZZZ!" Leo roared louder before he fell out of a tree, "Bwa! Who what where?! Honno Kakusei!" he roared, flashing into Zyuoh Lion. Sela, Amu, and Roll facepalmed with sighs, 'We need to not let him do that as a first response…' "Wow!" the voices of children awed, making the girls peek through their fingers as they saw kids hugging Lion. "What...who...why am I being attacked by munchkins?!" he asked in surprise. "It must be because Leo looks like a superhero." Yamato chuckled. "Yamato ,Flash!" Lion shouted, "Help...there's too many...and they keep touching! It's an attack of the cute!" "It's your own fault," Sela pointed out. "Aw~...They like Leo." Amu giggled. "Help...me…" Lion groaned from under a dog pile of kids. "Ah...come on guys…" Yamato sighed as he picked up kids off Lion as he groaned and flipped over to his back. "Ah...that was tiring...I'm beat nap time again." he snored, falling back to sleep. "Come on…" Flash groaned grabbing his leg and pulling him across the ground, his head bumping into several rocks along the way...yet it did nothing to awaken him. Roll shook her head, "He's a heavy sleeper, yet a fall from a tree easily wakes him up." "Let's just dump the body and be done with it." Sela stated brutally. "Sela...he's not dead," Amu pouted. "He's dead weight." she argued. "Zzzz…" "And he's asleep...again." "Let's just hurry…" Yamato sighed as the group made their way to...a huge wonderful looking Tree house...that was an actual house. "Sugei...Yamato-san, Flash-san is that your home?" Amu asked. "It looks amazing," Roll noted, her tail lightly moving. "Wow...I didn't know humans could live in trees like this." Sela blinked. "It's more our Uncle's house…" Yamato spoke before he remembered. "Ah!" he panicked. "I...I can't even begin to explain you guys to him." "Yeah, mine is a different story so he accepted that but you guys. That's gonna be different." Flash spoke. "Eh? Ano...You two did mention he tends to be a little invasive when trying to understand 'cause-play,' hai?" Roll asked. "Hai...but our Uncle he's...he's…." "Hmm?" the girls all blinked as Lion woke up, reverting to Leo. "Who's barking?" Leo asked. "Okay...uhm...something else hard to explain is…" Yamato began as he blocked the exit to the door as the four walked up to him. "Nani?" they all asked as they slowly went up the steps to the treehouse. "Well, you see... Our uncle takes his...uhm...work to a very strange degree…" Flash noted as they made it to the front door. "What does that mean?" Leo asked, opening the door before pausing and closing it. "There's some kind of Seal Mobian in there looking for his contact." he explained in surprise. "That's...Our...uncle." Yamato and Flash explained slowly. Leo took a second to think before clinging to the door. "EH!? Your uncle is a Mobian to?! How?! When?! Where!?" he shouted. "No...he's not a Mobian...he's wearing an animal costume." Yamato explained. "Costume?" the four otherworlders all asked. "You mean like little kids back home like to do for playing pretend, hai?" Roll asked. "Uhm...kinda…" Flash muttered scratching his cheek. "He's an artist, he mainly makes sculptures of animals. He thinks if he...acts like the animal he's sculpting...he'll be able to do a better job." he explained. "I...I don't get it?" Leo muttered. "His uncle is weird." Amu whispered. "I can somehow read your guys' lips...and yes he is weird." Yamato sighed. "I've been living with him since I was a baby, so I'm used to it. He helped me control my fox parts so I could control my animal half." Flash explained. "Wait, really.." Roll asked the human hybrid. "Yup,.." "Yamato, Flash was that you?" Yamato's and Flash's uncle asked from the other side of the door. Yamato in his panic pushed Leo off the railing. "AH!" he cried while the girls walked backwards down the stairs quickly as the door opened. "Ah it is you! Good. I need you to go pick up some new art supplies I need. Also, we need groceries. I got peckish and finished half the stuff in the fridge." the man explained, pushing the seal head up to reveal the face of a kind older male."Oh and Flash were we're you. I was worried when you didn't came back." "Gomen, I was training in the forest that time." Flash quickly told not to tell him. "Oh.. but next time try and tell me where you're going. Don't want to end up like last time as you got lost in the forest." "I was only 9," Flash argued. "don't worry Uncle Mario...we'll take care of it." he nodded simply. "I'm going to bring some friends of mine over later just so you know. They need a place to stay for a while." "Oh no problem. We got plenty of room but we have to keep Flash you know traits a secret." he told as he handed Yamato a grocery bag."And Flash remember to keep your animal parts hidden." "Don't worry, I will." "Hai, Don't worry they'll never know cause of ... There job ... But he'll be fine and I'll be home in a few." he smiled as Mario walked back inside as the door clicked closed. "Ah…" he sighed, leaning against the wall. "If 'peckish' means he eats half a fridge, I'm not sure if I want to see him when he's starving," Amu noted. "Ah...well to be honest...we tend to not have much in our fridge," Yamato explained, "My Uncle Flash and I have been living what he calls a bachelor lifestyle. Just enough for us to eat and get by the day." "That's not good at all," Roll noted, "You need good balanced meals every day." she picked up the grocery bag, "I don't mind cooking as thanks for letting us stay with you, Both." "Well, He does bring strawberry's, and I love to eat them." Flash told. "..wait you like strawberry's aswell.." Amu asked "Yeah, there the best snacks ever. But I mostly love the Strawberry milkshake which Uncle Mario make." Flash said happily his tail wagging aswell. The others looked at Roll who looked at Flash as she was seeing tye similarities between them self. "Thank you, Roll-san...but first, find a way to explain your appearance long term to our Uncle. Without that cube you guys might be stuck here a while." he sighed with regret. "We'll be fine. I'm sure it won't be to hard to find. Maybe it was just blown away and some human found it," Amu suggested. "In that case, we'll just have to treat finding it like one of Roll's many random pets." Sela muttered. "Help! I'm stuck in the flower patch!" Leo cried, buried halfway into a garden of flowers. "...Random pets?" Flash blinked twice, slowly looking at a blushing Roll that found playing with her tail more interesting than anything else. "She just attracts all kinds of little animals," Sela shook her head, "It's like she's some sort of magnet for cute little animals that cause all kinds of chaos." "Despite saying that, Sela likes taking care of them just as much," Amu stated, making Sela blush a little. "...What? Yamato needs to know all about us if we are going to be staying with him indefinitely." "Actually.. Flash also is like that." Yamato spoke," now that I think about it. Could Flash be related to one of your family members." The others were surprised hearing this but soon they looked at Flash who was looking at roll who looked back at him. Both were looking alike bit don't know how? "Help our Leo!" Leo cried in despair, his legs kicking around in anger. "Hey look! A mole is in here...AH! The Mole scratched my nose!" "Question: are you guys just used to ignoring his moments?" Flash asked the girls. "Yep." Sela nodded. "Mostly…" Amu murmured. "Hai," Roll sighed. "I'll dig him out...you girls can help me with shopping…" Yamato sighed before he grabbed his backpack and pulled out a hoodie, "Here...I can lend you these to hide if you want like Flash." "Arigatou, Yamato-san," Roll and Amu thanked. "It's better than attracting attention." Sela sighed as she helped Yamato pull out Leo. As they did, they noticed a sudden flash of Yellow from him. "Eh?" she blinked as she lifted him by his leg. "Pfft!" Leo's voice gagged as he spit out dirt. But...his lion face was gone...and replaced with...a human? "What's with the looks?" "AH!" the girls and Yamato screamed, dropping him Flash simply looked at him with surprised expression. "What?! What's on my face?" he asked touching his face...and he noticed. "WHOA! My fur is gone! And my whiskers...my nose...my mane!?" he asked grabbing his dreadlocks that had turned from brunette to blond. "Oh thank god…" "Leo...you...you look...like a human…" Amu said as Roll hid behind her, her eyes wide, "What did you do?" "I didn't do nothing! I just kept overhearing how I got to hide, and I didn't like that, so I thought, 'Hey...what if I-that's me, Leo-looked like a human? Like Yamato!'" he stated, explaining what he was thinking. "Then boom...I'm human. Guys...am I still pretty?!" never let it be said Leo did not have a high self image. "..." Amu and Roll shared looks before both held up a 7. "A...a 7...is that higher then Yamato?" "..." Roll held up a 5, "Not a big fan of the color red." Amu held up a 9. Roll and Sela looked at her. "What...he's cute." she argued. "What about Flash?" "..." Roll held up a 8," He's kinda cute and handsome like." Sela held up a 7" same" Amu gave a 8," your cute, But not cuter then Yamato." "Can I point out Leo...is human!" Sela argued, pinching both Amu and Roll's faces. "Ow-ow-ow!" they both cried. "AH! SHE'S RIGHT!" Leo roared, causing all three girls and Flash to cringe from the loud voice. "How is this even possible?" Amu asked, rubbing the side of her face. "I kind of want to be human too now…" she admitted. "Well...Maybe you can try what Leo did," Roll suggested. "Be an idiot?" Sela questioned. "Oi…" Leo complained. "Hm…" Amu muttered before a white cube of light formed around her head...and changed her face from its original white tiger Mobian state to that of a human girl with short hair. "Ah...did it work?" she asked, holding her face before she felt her hair. "Sugoi…" Sela muttered. "How did you guys do that...Roll-san can you do that?" Flash asked. "Mnnn…" Roll tilted her head, "I'm not sure, Flash-san. Demo...it kinda looked familiar." "Familiar?" Sela repeated. "Hai. Like when you all changed into those suits against that alien that became a giant," Roll noted. "Then...the Kings Credentials are what allow us to do this?" Amu guessed, "Sela...You do it, too." she ordered, pointing her new human hand and manicured finger at Sela. "Me?" she blinked. "But how...I'm not good at clearing my head like you two." "Hey!" the two former feline themed Mobians complained. "Well, Sela-san, maybe you just try to think about what you think you'd look like if you were human," Roll suggested, "Otou-san always said 'Never look at the world for what it is, dare to see the world for what it could be.'" "Hm…" Sela sighed as she facepalmed before the blue light changed her into a human form. Her hair that was once made of fins was now normal human-mammal hair braided around her head. "Did...did it just work?" she asked, not even opening her eyes. "Yep." "Yeah." "Seems so." "Hai." "You somehow still look scary…" Leo said, only to get kicked in his new human nose, sending him stumbling head over heels down a hill. "Leo…!" Sela seethed. "You look amazing, Sela-san," Roll complimented as she put her received hoodie on, "Mou...I'm kinda jealous now." "Well.. I'm mostly looking human so my animal parts can easily be hidden." Flash said putting his hoodie on and hiding his animal traits."Beside I don't need to hide them away with my cube which you guys did." "Until we find something for you...you'll have to hide your face as much as possible…" Yamato muttered. "You can go out as you are now and again, but it will be safer to hide a little. I can't guarantee everyone will give you warm receptions." "It seems you'll need to play the shy game for awhile Roll." Amu noted. "Hai," Roll nodded before picking up the grocery bag, "Ne, let's get going then! I have to make a good meal for everyone, after all." "Wait, Can you make anything strawberry related." Flash asked her. "Only, Alot! We Sakurai love strawberry so much and I know alot of recipes." Roll explained with excitement. "AWESOME!" Flash beamed with excitement as he loves it. The others see this and again they see the similarities between them. "Wait for Leo!" Leo cried, crawling his way back up the hill. "Ne...what's a mall again?" Amu asked. "Big store with lots of different stores inside." he explained. "Wait...even clothing stores?" Amu asked with stars in her eyes. "Hai…" "No time to waste!" she shouted, grabbing Yamato's arm and dragging him off, leaving a trail of dust behind them. "Roll...should we feel happy Amu has found a boy she likes...or sorry for Yamato for being said boy?" Sela asked her friend. "I'm surprised that a girls is demanding at Yamato.." Flash muttered. "Mmm...You know what Kaa-chan says, Sela-san," Roll giggled. Sela sighed, "Hai, hai. 'Love just is.'" Aphrodite looked up from counting a roll of paper money, "I felt Sela-chan just said my favorite phrase." a groan came from the beaten up overweight man in the alley she was in, "You hush it. Not my fault you didn't realize that 'no' means 'No.' Now I am confiscating this stuff since it was in your wallet, so it is most likely the cash in the human world." Tusk grunted as he began walking through the forest. He raised his trunk up higher as he began sniffing. What made Tusk very interesting even among his own kind was his sense of smell. Whereas most Mobians all had keen senses of smell, Tusk had a sense of smell so acute he was better than most dog mobians who had trained their noses. This had proven useful to him many times over, from simply telling if a fruit he wanted to eat was already rotten to smelling Eggman's robots miles away. It also helped to find people. Among the scents he had committed to memory, the current one was one he needed to find for a plethora of reasons. "If I was Tails...and I was trapped in some random new world...I would…" Tusk muttered as his trunk pointed to one side of the forest. "I would find a place with metal and oil smell...most likely a garage big enough for a plane and to hide in." he muttered, curving his trunk in a way to lessen his sense of smell. The Elephant mobian began his trek through the forest. As he did, he thought about what he'd have to do if he had to walk through the human city...To which a green flash changed his head. Tusk stopped near a lake as he noticed his new human face. Normal skin, short black hair, his once braided white hair now utterly gone. Tusk felt so...naked with this small nose and no well...tusks. "How do humans live looking like this…? Their noses can't do anything but smell." he muttered as he continued walking, following the smell of the Twin Tailed Fox. "Deka…!" Roll and Amu awed as the five entered the mall. "Believe it or not...this isn't even the biggest mall in Tokyo." Flash explained. "It's just one of many small ones." "There are places bigger than this?" Leo asked. "Of course." Yamato smiled. "But this is the closest to home so I come here very often." he explained before noticing the only person beside him was Roll. "Ara…?" he asked looking around. "Roll-san...where did they go?" "Leo went that way, Amu-nee went that way, and Sela-san went after Leo," Roll replied. "Let's...find them later. First, shopping." Yamato sighed as he took out some money and handed it to her, "Buy whatever you need. If you need more, come find me." "Arigatou, Yamato-san," Roll smiled. "I'll come with you roll, Beside I want to buy somethings aswell." Flash said "Ok, Flash-san we can shop together." "Just promise me to be careful. Flash can hide his animal features, You don't have this human power like the others," he added as he looked around. "Although...maybe you're not the one to worry about." he muttered. "Anyway, when you two are done, go wait near the fountain," he pointed at a fountain nearby, "I'll meet up with you two there...and then we can find the others." he explained as Roll happily saluted to his orders before walking off to the ground level grocery store. Flash following beside her. "I hope the other Mobians aren't casing to much trouble." "Achoo!" Sonic sneezed as he was running down the freeway. "Ugh...alternate world cold maybe." he shook it off as he smirked, looking behind him to see the police squad chasing him down, "Haha...Now this is fun! I've never had a chase this fun before!" he laughed as he sped up, turning into a blue streak of light down the freeway. "Why must you antagonize this world's task force?" Caliburn questioned. "Since in this world they don't go 'Oh I'm so sorry Prince Sonic' and let me do whatever I want. In this world, I'm not royalty...I'm just Sonic The Hedgehog! And I'm gonna enjoy it 'till we have to go home!" he smirked speeding up. "Live a little, Caliburn buddy! We are in a world from what I can tell has so many heroes alien invasions are a yearly problem. For once, we don't have to worry! This world is more or less taken care of, so we can relax!" "Antagonizing the task force of this world is not something that relaxes me," Caliburn replied. "Yap-yap nobility, chivalry, blah," Sonic joked, "Let's see how far I can jump this unfinished bridge!" he said, making Caliburn's eyes bulge at hearing that. "Oh no. Oh no no. Oh nononononono!" Caliburn spoke quickly. "WHOO!" he laughed shooting off the unfinished freeway like a blue bullet through the sky, "EARTH ROCKS!" he shouted at the top of his lungs as he flew through the sky from his jump. "Was that Sonic?" Tusk asked walking down the street "Hmm…" Yamato hummed, looking through the art supplies. A streak of blue flying past the stores window. Yamato blinked, thinking he heard something, but shrugged it off and went back to his task. "Mmm…" Roll frowned, "I'm not sure if I have enough…" "Oh please! Have a discount as a first time customer," the cashier informed quickly, a blush on his cheeks, "Sixty percent off your total!" 'A Furry Cosplay gal like this...with a cute figure and that chest...Sugei~!' Flash on the other hand glared at him making the cashier shudder when he saw his eyes. He did a hand motion saying'im watching you.' "Eh? A-Arigatou!" Roll beamed before she blinked twice, 'That sounded like Sonic-san laughing while Caliburn-sama was screaming about his recklessness...again.' "SOMEONE IS BEING LOUDER THEN ME!" Leo's voice roared, shaking the building slightly. 'And there's Leo…' Roll sweatdropped as she paid and left with Flash following her behind but still kept his eyes up at him but soon went out, unaware of the manager running up and whacking the cashier with a paper folding fan. Space, currently the location of the bow and arrow-themed ship belonging to the Deathgalien crew… "Haha…" Ginis laughed in...a monotone as he watched the video of the Zyuohgers defeating Jagged on a constant loop. "Oh...what excitement." he laughed on while taking a sip of his red wine looking drink, "Naria...replay." "Hai." she bowed, replaying the scene where Yamato became Zyuoh Eagle.Then went to Flash Becoming Zyuoh Fox and then making a fire ball to attack. "I knew Earth was full of colorful folks with powers...but this is the absolute best." he sighed, finishing his drink before putting it on a tray Naria was holding. "Okay, the grieving for Jagged is over. Prepare for the blood games." he ordered, getting comfortable in his throne. "Hai." the three aliens present all bowed to their master. "Let's see...the old order was Jagged, Azald, and then Quval. So Azald...you have the next turn." Ginis offered to the hulking blocky blue alien. "Haha!" he laughed, his reptile-like mouth curving into a sinister smile. "Leave it to me, Owner. I know just the guy to give those flesh bags a good lesson in pain!" he shouted, bashing his block like fists together, "Halbergoi!" At that, the door opened as an alien walked in. Its body was a clown like blend of red and blue, red curving rock forming a sort of tunic over half of its upper chest, and then for rest of its torso before separating and covering the upper thigh of each leg. The rest of his chest was blue in color with silver vein like accents, each of his shoulders were rounded beige striped red and white with blue dots, and his left had a fan like ridge while the right had a blue crystal spike. His face was kind of drooped with a nose like section that drooped down over his mouth and seemed to mold into his neck, the left side of his face was a blend of red, blue and white, before forming a fan off the side of his face, a second one on the right side of his face but smaller and hanging off his jaw, and connected to his one blue eye. His weapon was fitting of his name: a Halberd that was black with red rings around it; the blade was very irregular, and had a blue crystal edge to it. "Halbergoi of Team Azald reporting for duty!" he saluted. "Halbergoi...go down to Earth and team those meat bags the lesson of pain. Rain it down on them!" Azald ordered. "With much pleasure, Azald-sama!" he nodded, tapping his halberd to the ground before he took a handful of silver coins and walked off to teleport down to Earth. "Okay...that's everything," Yamato smiled, reading off his uncle's list of art supplies. It was mostly putty to seal cracks in his new sculptures, a new chisel, and some paint. "I hope Roll-san and Flash found everything we needed." he muttered as he walked over to the outdoor fountain of the mall, spotting Roll sitting near it with a few large bags and Flash was sitting with her with a board expression. "Oh! Konnichiwa, Yamato-san!" Roll greeted, looking up from a book in her hand. "Ah...you bought yourself a book, too?" he asked with a smile. "Not exactly..." Flash muttered. "The cashier gave it to me for free," Roll smiled, holding it up to reveal it was a book on Japanese culture. "I'm not sure I gave you enough for all this, though," Yamato blinked twice. "I got a sixty percent discount on my total purchase as a first time customer!" Roll beamed, her movement making her chest jiggle a bit. Flash simply gave Yamato a sign language saying 'is she not know or what' "Eh, really...must be a new promotion they're doing," he muttered. "Anyway...where are the others?" he asked out of curiosity. The three then heard a splash behind them, making them blink as they saw Sela in her Mobian Form as she jumped out of the fountain and then back in. Roll facepalmed, giving a sigh of annoyance. "Gomen nassai, Yamato-san Flash-san. I should've been paying attention than reading about this place's culture," Roll apologized as Yamato and Flash was gawking at the fountain. "Why Sela-san…" he gawked that the most level headed was the first he found goofing around. "Ah! The water is amazing!" she smiled, poking her head out of the water, "Do all human places have pools like this?" "Despite the size...that's not a pool…" Flash pointed out. "Sela-san loves anything with large amounts of water," Roll explained, "You should've seen her the last time we did a volleyball tournament on the beach. She and Amu as a team...nobody can win." "But that's a fountain. It's not meant for swimming," Yamato noted. "Ah...that's boring...This thing is like a pool," Sela pouted as she reverted/turned into her human form. "Didn't you notice all the coins in it or the sign that says no swimming?" Flash asked. "Sorry, sorry." she sighed as she got out. What Yamato and Flash found interesting was it seemed her clothes weren't even soaked. "Not...not even gonna question it...where's Leo?" he asked. Roll patted his shoulder before pointing at a tree where Leo was sitting in the branches and sleeping again. "Oh come on…" he sighed. "Nap spot on Earth number three…" Leo sighed, snuggling up in the branches, "200...more to find…" "Well...I guess as a male Lion...Leo's not really good at anything besides fighting, is he?" Flash asked bluntly but factually. "I'm still shocked he's good at art," Sela noted. "Eh?" Both spoke "Hai. That was surprising. Almost as shocking at how skilled his calligraphy is," Roll nodded while popping a blueberry into her mouth. "Yet...he can't draw that well for some reason." Sela muttered. "It's such an odd thing with him." Roll agreed. "Wait...Sela...Leo...Roll...Where's Amu?" Yamato asked as he counted those present. "...Most likely? A clothing store," Sela replied. "Or...smoothie truck." Flash pointed at Amu, still in human form thankfully. She was currently standing next to a food truck that sold smoothies. And the trashcan next to her had a mountain of cups. Amu was currently sipping on what they could only guess was her 30th cup. "Yummy! Blueberry, strawberry, wild berry, and a hint of lemon to add a sour taste." she smiled, going back to drinking. "Amu has an amazing sense of taste. She can tell what every single ingredient in a dish is after one taste." Sela explained, "No one can stump her. She can find the secret ingredient in everything, even in Roll and her mom's secret dishes she has found out everything." "We did have her swear to never reveal those secret ingredients," Roll noted. "You're lucky Amu doesn't care much for that. The moment you gave her the next dish, she just happily forgot," Sela chuckled. "Oh yeah, I-did she just say they have a blueberry flavor?" Roll asked. "Yep," Sela nodded. "Among many others." she looked at Roll...only to find no one, "Nani?" she looked at the truck to see Roll at it. "Free of charge," the male cashier informed, blushing as he handed Roll an extra large cup. "I'm sorry about him," a female worker said, bonking him on the head and knocking him out. "Eh?" Roll tilted her head, not really getting why she was apologizing. "Oh, just a thing with this one." she smiled. "Please come again, Miss." she said to Amu. "You're the only person to be able to pass the promotion of guessing the ingredients in your drink. Therefore, your drinks are on the house for this time." "Oh wow! Thanks!" Amu beamed, "In that case, I'll take ten more for the trip home...ah...right...Yamato-kun! Money!" she shouted. "Eh!?" Yamato gawked in surprise. "Why didn't you ask me sooner?" "I forgot," she smiled cutely. "Mmm…" Roll looked at the prices before taking out the cash Yamato had given her, Yamato noticing she hadn't even made a dent out of it and counted he was gonna ask but Flash put a hand on his shoulder and shook his head saying'Don't question it' , "This is enough for the ten, hai?" "Thank you very much," the female cashier smiled, taking the money. "Well...that was lucky." Yamato sighed as he noted Sela gone again, "..." He looked at the fountain as Sela was swimming from side to side faster than any human ever could. "..." he then looked at Leo, who was attracting a crowd of people again, "..." A tick mark formed on the young human's head at the antics of these three. Flash saw this and simply got back. "Arigatou for giving me money today to get groceries, Yamato-san," Roll thanked, giving him the remaining cash, "I'll make sure to make something really good for you and your uncle with what I got and I promise I will make a best strawberry cake and blueberries milkshake Flash!" "YES!" He cheered "Thank you…" he sighed before he turned to see the antics of the three Mobians in human guise: Amu going back to drinking her smoothies while she began looking at things to buy, Leo attracting a crowd of people from his sleeping in a tree, and Sela and her breaking all olympic records for swimming while in a fountain, "Mou…" he sighed, "CUT IT OUT, YOU THREE!" he shouted, making all three of them jump in shock. "Meep," Roll squeaked as she hid behind Flash who simply had a worried look, 'Yamato-san sounds mad.' "Crap!" Leo cried falling from the tree. "Uh-oh.." Sela and Amu said at the same time. "I get you three are excited, but you're causing a lot of trouble with this nonsense." he told all of them as the three fellow transforming heroes slowly made their way over to him, "Can't the three of you calm down just a little?" "Sorry...Yamato." the three all said like sad kids being scolded by a teacher. 'Yamato-san sounds like Kaa-chan when someone manages to get her to the breaking point,' Roll gulped. " Yup.. that's why I don't make him angry or mad." Flash told her like he was reading her thoughts," patients run out." "Ah…" Yamato sighed, trying to calm down. "Let's just go home…" he sighed. "Home…?" they blinked. "Well...until you can find the last cube...you guys need a home." Flash explained. "So...until then our home is your home." he explained as if it were simple. "...You two are the best!" Leo beamed as he hugged Yamato. Flash was standing back trying not to get hugged to death. "Ah...you surprised me, Leo." Yamato said. "You two the best guys in the world! You two officially my buddy!" Leo stated loudly as he slung his arm around Yamato's shoulder and flash "Will there be enough room for us?" Sela asked. "It's not the biggest of places, but there should be enough room for everyone. Worse comes to worse, you can have my room and I'll sleep in the living room." he stated. "Besides we have a ton of camping gear too." "And I can sleep on the floor. I learn to adapt to living so I know how to sleep well." Flash told. "Arigatou! Now I'm really motivated to make a big meal as thanks, Yamato-san and Flash-san !" Roll beamed. "Yay! Make lots of extra so we can take some to Tusk-kun." Amu cheered. "Thank you, Yamato and Flash." Sela smiled. "Of course." he nodded. "No prob.." Flash told "Oh...what's that over there?" Leo asked, seeing a store for video games. "That looks violent...I want one!" he said running off in that direction. "Ah...Leo!" Yamato called out to him. "Ooh...the clothes over there look so cute!" Amu cheered happily. "Amu?" Yamato, Flash and Roll asked sarcastically as she left. The three then looked towards Sela...who was staring at a poster for a water park with stars in her eyes, "Sela, mou…" they sighed. "Ah...I didn't want to do this but these three leave me no choice." Yamato sighed. "Eh?" Roll blinked twice. "This will be good." Flash muttered with a smirk "Wait right here...I know how to make them comply." he sighed, walking off for a second and leaving Roll to ponder what that meant. Flash simply just waited to enjoy the show. "Gomen…" Leo, Amu, and Sela all sighed sadly as Yamato literally went and put collars on them to keep them from running off again. Flash was behind them and was desperate to not laugh. "You three were acting like a bunch of hyperactive kids...it was the only way to keep you from running off again." Yamato groaned as he and Roll took turns holding the collars so they wouldn't run off again. "Leo...you actually chased a car." "The guy was honking at us...I had to rip the tires off." he muttered. "Amu-nee, did you have to try to buy everything in that store?" Roll questioned. "It was cute...and they had lots of white and pinks...plus fluffy stuff." she pouted. "Do you want to question what Sela tried to do or should I, Yamato-san?" Roll asked, glancing at their human friend. "You can have it…" he sighed as they walked through the forest to their new temporary home at Yamato's and Flash place. "Arigatou. Sela-san, why did you throw that guy out the window?!" Roll demanded. "He was looking at me and Amu for too long..mainly behind us." she stated with a slight crossing of her arms. "I'm pretty sure he was looking at your tails...those refuse to go away, you know," Yamato pointed out. Flash, Leo and Amu's tails wagging around for emphasis. "Come to think of it...why do your tails still stay?" Flash asked, "It seems rather odd, I don't have a problem with mine." "Perhaps some things just can't be removed even by...magic, I think?" Yamato offered. "This stinks… My tail is still vulnerable…" Leo sobbed in realisation. The realization that bad habit with things going for his tail...can still continue even in a human form. "Mmm...Come to think of it, a lot of the boys there kept giving you things for free in the stores," Amu pointed out to Roll. "Actually...I noticed that too." Yamato admitted. "Guys," Flash called out. He motioned don't ask. "They were? I thought that was just because they were being polite to a first time shopper," Roll noted. "Once is believable Roll...but 12 more times...you have to see a pattern." Sela sighed, "Sometimes you're more dense then one would think." "At least I didn't throw a guy out a window," Roll pouted. "It was kind of cool she did it with one hand." Amu pointed out. "Don't encourage that…" Yamato sighed as they made it to the treehouse. He then proceeded to take off the collars before putting them into one of the bags. "Are there any very important rules we should know before we enter, Yamato-san Flash?" Roll asked. "Just that try not to spook Uncle with your true forms...or in your case, Roll, try not to get too close to him until...we can explain all of this in a way that doesn't make him panic. He's an easily spooked man really." he explained. "I suppose the only other rule is when he's home and sculpting, try not to go into his studio...which is also his room." Flash explained as they began walking up the stairs, "Other than that, he's in his room or out talking to clients for his next project...Or studying animals face to face. And sometime asking me to make sculpture of his." "You mean by using the costumes?" Leo asked. "Exactly." Yamato nodded as he opened the the door. Before he noticed a note on it. "'Yamato, Flash off to deliver a sculpture. Be back by dinner'" he read as he took it off the door. "Ah what luck he went out." he sighed. "Which way is the kitchen, Yamato-san?" Roll asked as Yamato opened the door, "I'd like to get dinner started as soon as I can." "It's that way through the double doors." Yamato pointed as he put the bag of art supplies down on the large table in the center of the room. "Arigatou," Roll thanked as she moved out, carrying the four large bags of groceries, a bag of blueberries carried by her tail. "I'm coming aswell. I want to help cook" Flash said following her with the strawberry carried by his tail. "I've never understood why she likes blueberries so much," Leo muttered, "They always turn Leo's tongue blue." "Well, most foxes tend to eat any kind of seasonal berry in the wild and Flash loves to eat strawberries more," Yamato noted, "Does her mother do that as well?" "Aphrodite-sama? Well...she loves strawberries more than blueberries," Amu replied. "Well, she could have gained the taste for it from her mother and Flash..I don't know how he gained it but I think him being half mobian which you all are may have gave him the personality." Yamato offered. "Well.. who would be his mother thought." Leo asked," I mean he mostly looks like Roll and Aphrodite-sama and loves to do Shinobi things and eat strawberries. So can his mother be one of Aphrodite family or from the sakurai clan." The others looked at each other and we're surprised by Leo making a statement. "Ok! Who are you and what did you do to our idiot lion." Amu demanded playfully. "Oi!.." Leo pouted," Leo can be smart to." "Why aren't you like this the other time." Sela muttered. "Oi..." Leo muttered."Sugei...this place is cool." Leo said as he climbed up a tree branch in the room to a little deck near the roof. "Leo's found his room!" he said as he curled into a sleeping spot to call his own. "I'm not shocked that he picked a high place," Sela shook her head. "Well at least he's getting comfortable." Amu smiled. "Hai." Yamato smiled as he grabbed some camping supplies. "Flash-san, what's this big white thing on the counter?" Roll asked Flash as he was helping in the kitchen. "It's a rice cooker," Flash replied while mixing flour, "Use a strainer to clean the rice, put it into the cooker, fill it with water to the point it says, and then close and secure the lid before turning it on." "Soka...Arigatou!" "No problem." Flash smiled while Yamato grabbing a folding chair before he grabbed a bag and began stuffing some fruits into it "What are you doing?" Amu asked. "I'm going to take your friend Tusk some stuff." Yamato explained. "He doesn't seem to like me...so at least I want to give him this...so he doesn't have to just sleep outside. With this camping gear, he can sleep and relax better. And some food so he doesn't have to worry about going out on his own to find some." "Don't bring him peanuts," Roll advised from the kitchen, "Just...please don't." "Hai, I know. Besides, I figure being an herbivore, Tusk would appreciate more fruits and vegetables." he smiled, holding up the fruit. "A smart move," Sela nodded before seeing curtain to one end of the living room, after pulling it back and revealing a...bathtub, "...I call that." "Th...The bathtub?" Yamato paused in his packing. "Why is there a bathtub in the living room?" Amu asked in a whisper. "Uncle Mario's doing," Flash replied while stirring the mixture , "I didn't question it...we have a full shower in the bathroom though." he explained quickly. "Oh thank god." Amu sighed, Roll sighing in relief as well at hearing that. Yamato nodded as he finished putting the last of the supplies he thought Tusk would need into the pack, "Okay. I'm going to go see Tusk now. Maybe Sonic will be there as well." he said as he walked for the door. "Have a safe trip. And don't worry if Tusk is cranky...he's always like that." Amu waved him off. "Amu-nee, Sela-san, I think we need your help in the kitchen," Roll noted, "It might take until Yamato-san comes back, even." "Hai!" Amu smiled as she walked into the kitchen. Before she came back and grabbed Sela by her leg and dragged her into the kitchen. "Ah...chotto!" she shouted in surprise. 'I owe her one,' Yamato thought as he left to go find Tusk. Tusk found an old worn out hanger for planes. Even if the hanger was a bit rundown, there were scattered bits of forgotten planes about, foliage growing on them. He sniffed the air slightly before he sighed. "Yeah...he's here." he sighed as he tried the doorknob...it was locked. Tusk blinked before he raised up his free hand. At that, Tusk's hand burst through the door...and unlocked it from the inside so he could open the door. "Tails!" he shouted while walking in. "Tails, it's me; Tusk! I can smell you!" he shouted while walking in, "Tails! Where are y-AAAAAAAAAAH!" he looked up to see a chain now wrapped around his leg and keeping him upside-down, "...I actually fell for this? I think I've been around Leo for far too long." "Nice try. You're not Tusk...Tusk isn't human." Tails's voice stated as Tusk looked at his reflection. "Right...I forgot about that." he blinked before a green flash reverted him to his Elephant form. "Wh-wh-what?!" Tails's voice gawked before a yellow blur shot down from the rafters above and gawked. "Told you," Tusk said as his trunk stretched out and bonked Tails on the head. "Now...get me down will ya? ...My head is big enough without all my blood rushing into it." "So you admit you have an ego?" Tails joked as he flew up to the top of the chain. "Very funny…" Tusk muttered as Tails pulled out a little bolt on a device the chain was going into before the chain came out fully...letting gravity take control of Tusk and bonk his head on the floor, "You know...I have half a mind to throttle you." "Eh-heh-heh...Sorry," Tails apologized before flying down, "But how did you look like a human, Tusk?" "This." he explained, holding up the transformed Kings Credential. "This use to be one of the Kings Credentials...but it changed...and gave me powers." he explained as he handed it to Tails. "I know magic and science aren't exactly the same...but well who else do I have to help figure this out?" he pointed out with a sigh. "This was one of the Kings Credentials?" Tails asked as he began to look it over, "Hmm...I'm not sure if this has ever happened before. How did it change anyway?" "Long story short...We got pissed off at some alien that was being worse than Eggman. So this changed, gave us powers, made us crazy stronger. But…" he trailed off as he looked at it, "It wasn't just us it gave power to." "Huh? Who else did the Kings Credentials change for?" Tails asked. "Leo...Amu...Sela...and…" he trailed off with a sigh. "That human...Yamato oh and That human fox hybrid Flash." "Really? Huh...Well, out of all Mobians, you four had the most contact with the Kings Credentials since you all guard it," Tails noted, "And Yamato had his since he was a kid. Maybe that constant contact with them let them do what they did and Flash has one aswell but I could have sworn that there were only 6 cubes not 7 and he's a hybrid so it may have worked for him." "Then why does Yamato have Eagle powers?" Tusk questioned. "Okay...yeah that one stumps me honestly." Tails sighed in admittance, "You should've mentioned that, though." "I figured I'd wait for when you made up a theory…" he joked sarcastically. Tails nodded, "...Now what's this about an alien being part of these changing and you five gaining new powers?" "Would you believe the humans have it worse than we do?" Tusk asked. Tails shrugged, "Possibly. There were some old newspapers in here, talking about things like masked heroes fighting monsters and a tabloid on this group of five color-coded figures fighting creatures." "...It's kind of ironic when you say that last part." Tusk muttered, "But from what I can gather myself… It seems evil aliens invading from space is nothing new to them." he explained. "There's even some intergalactic police force that deals with illegal aliens committing crimes on this planet." "You mean the SPD?" Tusk looked at Tails, "I fashioned a radio from some old rubber bands, an empty toothpaste bottle, and an old engine I salvaged here and it came on a talk show, talking about the SPD's latest case." "I see. Well, this world is interesting, but first things first: a way home. Look, the Link Cube was blown up by the alien. You're about the only one I know who can help me fix it, but that can wait for after we get the last Kings Credential," he added. "You lost one?!" "Yeah...we lost that one...somehow!" he growled in anger, "Ugh...nevermind. Look, we're trapped on an alien world. Who knows how many of us are here? We need to think of something, find the Queen...anyone." Tails nodded, "Well...Maybe I could make a tracer for Mobian signatures." "That's a good plan. But first, safety for those we do find. I don't want to call all humans bad...but...well, Eggman," Tusk spoke, earning a nod from Tails, "So I want to think of a way to keep them safe for our indefinite stay here." he muttered, his trunk scratching his head. "Wait but can't we use Flash cube to go back home. He has one aswell." Tails asked "We can't. We tried that actually, but it didn't work for some reason, it was like the cube was blocking his and not letting it in." Tusk explained." And for some reason he gives a vibe. Not like a human but a sakurai vibe like roll and Aphrodite-sama." "Well, where are Amu, Sela, and Leo? Did you find anyone else besides me so far?" Tails asked. "We found Roll stuck in a tree...and Sonic...well...he's your best friend...you know him by now." Tusk muttered once more with a groan. "Fell into a patch of water not even knee-deep again?" Tails deadpanned, earning a nod from Tusk. "Then after we beat the evil mineral based alien jerk, he just took off." Tusk added. "Well, that's Sonic for you," Tails sighed before flying over to a device and turning a few switches, "Maybe we'll find something on the radio." =This is an all points bulletin. All speed-related SPD units, there is an unidentified blue hedgehog humanoid of unknown alien origins= the radio spoke up =Current speed is at Mach 3 heading southeast= "Oh, for the love of the Mother Emerald!" Tusk shouted, trumpeting in rage, "Really, Sonic...Really?!" "Well...at least he's relaxed." "Is leaving him to be trapped in human prison while we all go home an option?" Tusk asked honestly. "Nope," Tails sighed. "Ugh...Alright, that's one headache covered. Next problem...those of us who can't outrun an entire world's police force." Tusk sighed. "Well...I suppose I should be happy that Yamato guy let the others stay at his place...now I won't have to worry about Leo shouting off the top of a building calling himself King of the World...again." "Wasn't he like crazy off catnip that time?" Tails asked. "He shouldn't even be affected by the stuff…" Tusk muttered. "Ugh anyway...time to work your impossible stuff, Tails. We need a way to recreate my human trick." "Well, what did you do when it happened the first time?" Tails asked, handing the Kings Credential back to Tusk. "I thought how it'd be a pain in my rear to deal with humans who would freak out a walking...well me." he explained, "That or people would think it's a well made costume and still bug me." Tusk was maybe just a little antisocial. "So you were thinking that you should probably look like a human so you didn't stand out," Tails noted. "Yeah. How'd you guess?" "You're so antisocial." Tails smiled. "I can snap you like a twig with my strength." Tusk stated bluntly. "Sorry...sorry." he chuckled not at all worried, it was just Tusk being Tusk. "So...you want me to..?" "This Kings Credential's energy isn't too different from a Chaos Emerald...and you made a fake to dupe Eggman once, didn't you?" he asked/reminded. "True," Tails nodded, "But let me be clear on this; you just thought of being a human?" "Yes." "Well, how did you imagine yourself looking like?" Tails asked. "I don't know. Just a human," Tusk huffed, unaware of the cube glowing and him changing again. "Ah...It seems to react to your thoughts," Tails observed. "It works for the most part." Tusk sighed. "It means we can go out all we want among the humans without some worry of being mistaken as aliens or monsters." he nodded. "I would like to go and buy parts for a plane without being harassed." Tails admitted. "So...we are in agreement then. Find out how this thing does it, copy it, and pass it out to others." "You make it sound easy." Tails said, crossing his arms over his chest. "Well...if you can't, then who?" Tusk asked. "Nicole for one, but I have no idea where she is," Tails replied. "This will be an optimal place to hide in until we are able to locate the others," Nicole noted as she looked around the abandoned warehouse she and Haseo had entered, "It is in the outskirts of the nearest city, people who come near this place are few and far between, the plumbing is still fully functional, and the wifi is optimal here." "S...soka," Haseo noted. "Furthermore...it would appear Sonic has attracted attention of this world's police force. Best not to be somewhere we can be associated with him at the moment." she added logically. "I assume the thrill of...rules applying to him make them more fun to break." "H...hai…" Haseo nodded a bit before he noticed her stagger a bit, "...N-Nicole-san? Daijoubu?" "I am fine. There are not many nanites here, though," Nicole replied, "I am unsure how long I will be able to maintain my current appearance until they shut down from being unable to recharge." "Eh?! A-ano...i-isn't there anything I can do to help at least?" Haseo asked, the young twin-tailed fox worried for the lynx. "I'm afraid for now all that can be done is to try not to waste my limited energy reserves." she explained, "Or in layman's terms...take it easy." she simplified, earning a nod of understanding. "Oh...o-okay…" Haseo nodded, though it was clear he was still worried about her. "Do not be concerned, Haseo. I will be okay," Nicole assured, "I was able to...acquire...some funds. Using them, I was able to acquiesce a generator. When it arrives, I'll be able to use it to recharge the nanites." "...O...okay," Haseo nodded a bit as he began to look around. 'This world is strange...but interesting,' Nicole thought, 'I was able to get what would seem enough for a month, but performing it was taxing even if they were easily hackable...I do hope we can find someone who can help make me something that works better then the generator I was able to obtain.' "Okay...We've got this much," Sonia noted as she counted the money as best she could, "Ugh...Why do they even use paper here? Rings are so much easier." "True, but lucky for us…" Aphrodite held up a guide book, "One of the perverts had this in their pack." "A guide book?" "Yep!" Aphrodite beamed, popping the 'p' at the end, "And it even includes what this stuff is called; Yen." she held up one of the paper bills and a coin, "The numbers on them tell us how much they're worth." she turned a page in the guide, "Ooh~ It even includes some of the finer hotels and...what the heck? A...Sonia, sweetie, look at this." "What is it?" "Are these people...sleeping in dryers?" Aphrodite asked, showing a picture of a capsule hotel. "Humans sleep like this?" she asked in surprise, "It looks like something from science fiction…" Aphrodite nodded before turning the page, "...Well this explains why it's been so easy to get all this currency; we're in the 'Red Light' district." "Red Light district?" Sonia pondered before reading about it, her eyes widening as a blush formed on her face, "...Oh. my. Mother Emerald." "Well, I think we have enough for one of the more conservative apartment places that accommodate 'Cause-Players'," Aphrodite noted, "Shall we leave this place?" "Please!" Sonia pleaded, "The sooner we're out of this perverted place, the better!" 'Seems to be in his late twenties,' Manic noted as he looked at a man standing before a store from an alley, 'Business suit means he's a pencil pusher, but a few creases in places and some faint marks show he does his own suit instead of a cleaners.' the man opened his wallet and looked into it and at the store, the green hedgehog seeing the look in the man's eyes, '...Can't do it to the guy. He just saved enough to get a toy for his kid.' he walked to the other side of the alley and saw another man, 'In his late thirties and a bit overweight. Got the snooty vibe to him,' he looked at the board of the cafe and then at the drink the man was holding, 'The most expensive drink in the place, too. Add in that the name is unpronounceable without a lot of practice and you've got the rich vibe.' he smirked as he watched the man leave the place, 'Bingo. He doesn't even bother with cards, just keeps the cash all together.' He proceeded to walk out onto the sidewalk. He didn't try whistling or humming a tune and looked as if he were just looking about. He managed to suppress an eyebrow raise and confused look at a girl giving him a wave while dressed up as a catgirl and returned it. He walked past the man he had been looking at and just went on his way, passing by a brunette with a worried look on her face. A few minutes later, he entered an alleyway and chuckled. "Easy as eating one of Aunt Aphrodite's strawberry cheesecakes," Manic noted as tossed and caught a large wad of cash in his hand before pocketing it, pulling out a few lower cash notes. The brunette, who was down on her luck and needed just a few more dollars for a gift for her aunt, was shocked to find a few high numbered yen in her purse. Sonic kept running before he skidded to a halt. He turned around and noticed his tail standing up. "Oh don't tell me…" he sighed, remembering the last time this very thing happened to him and his friends. "Really? It hasn't even been a full day and we are getting another alien attack?" "It appears so," Caliburn noted. "I'm assuming the more the chill my spine feels, the closer I get." he muttered before turning to the left before he blured off down way. "Be careful," Caliburn warned, "We do not know if this one will be like the previous or different." "Well...it's better than letting this guy go around and do who knows what. The last one was bad, just imagine how bad his brothers or mother would be." he joked. Sonic then skidded to a halt coming upon a hill out-looking the city, and standing atop it was Halbergoi. The Alien was currently taking mental notes of the cities layout. "I bet if I destroy that part...and that part, then over there, I'll corral all the meat bags in one section...and then I can take out a huge chunk in one move." he muttered to himself as a Moeba wrote that down in an alien language on a holographic screen. "Hm...you know that could work in a real strategy game way." Sonic admitted, appearing next to Halbergoi. "Right...da! Who the hell are you, blue one!?" he shouted, grabbing for his Halberd only to grab a stick. "Huh?" "Looking for this?" Sonic asked, holding it up. "Give that back! Thats where all my powers come fro...I mean...that's my favorite stick." Halbergoi corrected himself to late. "Oh well, if it's your favorite...then now I have to take it." Sonic said, using the alien's own halberd to slash the Moeba. "Smell ya later, Rocky!" he taunted before blurring off. "...I hate it when they do that," Halbergoi groaned before whistling sharply and Moeba troops formed, "GET MAH HALBERD!" The Moeba's all saluted, one smacking himself in the eye and falling over. The Moeba who seemed more coordinated looked at their dumb brother before looking back at Halbergoi. "GET!" he shouted, making them all scramble to run after Sonic. "This always happens with him," Azald muttered, seeing the blue hedgehog do what he did. "Yes...his reliance on his weapon for power is rather...inconvenient," Quval added. "It does lead to a hilarious mini-game, though," Ginis chuckled, eating a bit of popcorn. "Owner...what's that?" Azald asked. "Naria found it on Earth. Humans eat it when enjoying entertainment. Mental note: Steal all of the Earth's 'Popped Corn' and keep it for myself," he chuckled, popping another handful into his glowing mouth, "Buttery." "Okay...so...I've studied the cube." Tails said as he walked besides Tusk, the latter in human form, and the former wearing a huge hooded aviator jacket to hide himself from humans. "And it's energy is amazing...but seems inert unless you hold it." "Meaning on its own...?" Tusk began. "Might not work for me, but that's just one problem to overlook." he stated as they walked past some houses. "Speaking of which...do you know where to get food? I'm...kind of hungry." "Not sure…" Tusk muttered as he began thinking. "Well...I suppose that should have been something we looked into before working on the correlations between magical doohickey and science…" he muttered, his tails wagging around while thinking as well. "By now, if she had everything, Roll would be done with one of her family's recipes…" Tusk muttered. "Ah...I would give one of my tails for some of her food." Tails joked before a dog barking made him jump into Tusk's arms, "I didn't mean it! I didn't mean it!" "Tails...it's a puppy." Tusk pointed out as the two looked down at the dog. "A...I knew that," Tails sweatdropped. "He must be able to tell we're not human." Tusk muttered as the dog kept barking at them. "Well...you at least." he joked. "Tusk, that's not funny…" he groaned. "Come on. It's a puppy." he sighed, dropping Tails on the ground. "Ow…" he groaned having falling on his rear. "You know you could put a person down gently." "Tails, you can fly." Tusk reminded as he picked the puppy up and moved it over to the front door of the house beside them. "Stay." he tolled it as it sat down. "Tusk, please food… My brain will grow weak without food…" Tails complained. "Ah,...would it help you to know I can smell something that smells like one of Roll's specialties being cooked a few miles away?" he asked. "Lead the way!" Tails, instantly recovered, declared, his tails now going nuts in excitement. "Come on, it's just a short trek through the forest." Tusk sighed as he began walking. The two began making their way back into the forest before long and made their way along the path. As the two walked, Tusk looked towards the creek where the Link Cube was being kept. Tusk sighed at the sight of the missing chunk of the ancient device leading to his home. The one thing that kept coming back to mind, his family. It hadn't been a full day or so, but already he missed his home. He missed coming home each day to find his father reading peacefully in his study. "Hey, Tusk, were you carrying camping equipment before we got sucked in?" Tails asked, the question cutting through his thoughts. "What?" he asked as Tails pointed at the green colored tent, a pair of folding chairs, sleeping bags, even a basket of fruits and snacks next to a fire pit that had been set up. "Wow...you work fast, why didn't you tell me you had some snacks of your own." Tails smiled as he pulled his hood off before jumping down and landing next to the small camp. "Come to think of it...since when could you set up a tent? You can barely work a radio, let alone set up a tent." 'But I didn't,' Tusk frowned as he looked at it all. The two then jumped as they heard rustling from the tent as someone crawled out. They saw Yamato as he finished setting up a sleeping bag inside. The young man gave a good sigh of accomplishment. "Yosha," he nodded before noticing Tusk and Tails, "Oh. You found someone, Tusk-san?" he asked. "Yamato?" Tusk asked as Tails dived for the food, taking an apple and eating. "Mmm…" he hummed happily at eating. Tails was very hungry, it been awhile since he ate even before he came to this world, "So juicy…" "...I just realized he has two tails," Yamato blinked twice, "Huh…" "No one's sure...that's just a thing with him." Tusk muttered. "Well...I'd by lying if I said he was the only single one...but he's the one most famous for it in general." "Yo," Tails saluted as he stood up while grabbing a banana with his tail. "Hi," Yamato waved. "You set all this up?" Tusk asked. "Oh...hai." he nodded slowly. "I get you must really miss home." Yamato explained. "And...you're not gonna open up to anyone here just yet. I assume you guys have been friends for a while, so you looked for someone you trust." he explained while looking at Tails. "That's right." Tails nodded before taking a bite of the banana. "So...I just wanted to help...I know you probably don't like me, let alone trust me, and I don't blame you," Yamato said as he pulled out his cube. "Uhm...I just wanted to give you this camping stuff as a peace offering. The weather is kind of hard to predict around here, so maybe a dry place to sleep would be nice." he added as he put the cube down. "And...I think this belongs to you." "It's true." Tusk said, picking it up. "This doesn't belong to you. Why it worked for you...I'll never understand. It should have never worked." "I don't understand it much, myself...but its power let me protect my home. So...that was all I really needed it for," Yamato explained. "Soka." Tusk said slowly." What about the hybrid.. I can understand his half mobian trait, but how does he have that cube." "Well..... Flash was found as a baby out side uncle door step. He had the cube with him all that time and uncle even tried to guess what it can do. But couldn't and also Flash hold on to it cause this is the only thing he has to remember his family. He had a tuff time growing up always being inside cause of his animal traits. When he got sick we had to call a special doctor for him. Uncle Mario friend who is good with animals helped him and keeps it a secret. We wanted to find who his parents are but couldn't because for some reason they couldn't be found on the data." Yamato explained making them raise there brow. "Wait, they didn't have any data on who his blood match with." Tails asked. "No.." Yamato told." He was so sad but he still keeps on going. Uncle and I thought him many things he knew how to read, so he was mostly interested in the ninja culture but he is sad when he can't go out to the outside world without hiding his animal parts." "..." Tusk didn't say anything after listening that," Seems to me like he had a tuff time." Yamato nodded slowly. Tails looked between them. Despite how it seemed, Tails had to admit it was better than most conversations Tusk had with others. He bit down on his banana once more, eating the last of it. "Ano...Roll-san and Flash are making dinner at our house. If you want, you guys can come eat with us." Yamato offered. "Well...Roll is a great cook…" Tusk muttered, looking at Tails who nodded happily, wanting to eat too. "And last time I turned down her cooking, she was pouting for a week…" he muttered looking away slightly. "No one likes a pouting Roll," Tails muttered, "Because a pouting Roll means an inquisitive Aphrodite-sama. And an inquisitive Aphrodite-sama becomes Mama Eagle Aphrodite-sama. And Mama Eagle Aphrodite-sama leads to…" Tails and Tusk shuddered, sporting haunted looks in their eyes. "Haha...species or race aside, Mothers are still mothers." Yamato chuckled. "It's not funny…" Tails sobbed. "Let's just go...before Tails eats all my food supply." Tusk grunted. "Hey…" Tails complained at that comment. "Three summers ago when we went to Downunda on my demanded two week vacation on Queen Aleena's orders," Tusk stated. "...Okay. Fair point." "Let's eat." Tusk sighed. "What should I expect from Roll-san's cooking?" Yamato asked. "Heaven," Tails stated bluntly. "It's great." Tusk nodded as the trio began walking until they spotted the tree house. "Is that a house in a tree…?" "Uncle Mario's idea," Yamato replied. "Cool." Tails said as his tails began spinning and he flew up to the front door rather than take the stairs. "Uhm...how is that...possible? I'm pretty sure tails...don't work like that well except Flash's tail tends to cause a bit problem?" Yamato muttered. "Honestly...we haven't a clue… He just began doing it one day after Sonic went and I quote: 'Hey Tails, why don't you try spinning your tails around like a helicopter?'" Tusk stated, making his voice sound stupid and silly while imitating Sonic. "Achoo!" Sonic sneezed as he tapped Halbergoi's spear on a Moeba's head, making it back off. "Tusk is making me sound stupid again." he muttered, using Caliburn to slash one of the alien grunts. "That is not difficult some days," Caliburn noted. "Ohahaha...yeah, like the time I slept in a rocket that got shot into space. How was I to know I was sleeping on a rocket test site?" he muttered, slashing the Moeba's away. "Shahra mentioned thou did not notice the rather large sign informing that it was a rocket test site." "Don't make me relive it...I landed in the ocean...worst day...ever." he shuddered, cutting down more of the aliens before he blured off as Halbergoi huffed as he jogged after him. "I...hate...that...whatever it is…" the alien groaned, following the blue streak left behind by Sonic. "When I get my halberd back...I'm going to skewer him and that stupid city…" "Gonna have to catch me first, champ." Sonic taunted, appearing behind him, before taking the alien's own weapon and swatting him in the rear, making him fall over. "GAH!" Halbergoi cried out. "Come on! Step it up," Sonic smirked. The Hedgehog then blurred off once more, leaving the Alien to groan and chase him. "We're home!" Yamato called, opening the door as Tusk and Tails followed in behind him. "We also found a friend of yours." "I was promised food!" Tails smiled. "Tails!" Leo roared, grabbing him in a hug. "Sela, look! I found Tails!" "I found him." Tusk said, chopping Leo's head and making him flash back into his mobian form. "And it seems you can also do that trick." "Ow…" Leo groaned, falling over and bringing Tails with him. "Ow…" Tails groaned, pinned under Leo. "What was that?" Amu asked, poking her head out of the kitchen. "Ah, Tails-kun!" she gasped. "Help…" Tails groaned. "Leo...eats...too...much." "It's all muscle…" Leo groaned. "Come on," Tusk picked up Leo while Amu helped Tails up before hugging him. "It's so good to see you again!" Amu cheered. "You guys, too… Can all of you do this human trick?" he asked, noting her human face. "I know...Ain't I cute?" she smiled as her tail wagged around. "I...have no frame of reference really…" Tails admitted factually. "Oh...Yamato, is Amu's human form considered attractive?" he asked Yamato, suddenly making him fumble around and trip, making him hang on to the wall to keep from falling over. "Uhm….ano...eto...ah…" he muttered getting his wits about. "Truthfully...Amu-san's human appearance is...by my standards at least...attractive." he said slowly as his cheeks tinted red slightly. "..." Leo was about to say something only for an apple to fly from the kitchen and jam itself into his jaw. "MMMM!" he panicked, falling over and forgetting to breath through his nose. "Whatever you were about to say...this was better," Tusk bluntly spoke. "You're welcome," Sela nodded as she walked out, carrying a tray with a few bowls of mixed fruit. "So Sela too...who can't turn human besides me?" Tails asked. "Just the Thr…" she looked at Human Tusk, "Four of us." she corrected herself. "MMM!" Leo groaned from the ground before Tusk stepped on his tail, making him spit the apple out. "Yeowch!" "Konnichiwa, Tails-chan!" Roll greeted as she walked out, carrying a few platters in both her hands, on her head, and on her tail. "Hey there twin tails." Flash called out carrying few plates like roll, he putt them on the table. "Please tell me you have enough for me too…" Tails prayed as he clasped his hands together before Tusk elbowed him. "Ow...and Tusk…" "Of course, Tails-chan. I think we both made enough for several bears," Roll noted, "Dessert will be a multi-berry parfait." "And strawberry cake and cream milkshake if you like." Flash told going back to the kitchen. "You didn't have to make a full meal, but thanks still Roll-san." Yamato smiled as he set the table with Sela and Amu. "Flash also helped in it..." Amu told."When will your uncle be back?" Amu asked as the front door was slung open suddenly. Sela kicked Leo, sending him head first into the kitchen, while Amu herself pushed Tails under the table with Roll zipping back into the kitchen. "Oi, I'm back." Mario grunted as he carried in an animal head carved from wood. "Look, I made a panther!" he said happily. "I'm going to go paint it." he smiled. Before he noticed the three in human form. "Oh you guys must be Yamato's new friends. I'm his uncle, Mario Mori." he greeted, shaking Sela's hand before moving onto Amu and then a confused Tusk. "Mah...thinking parts...feel great…" Leo mumbled, walking out of the kitchen still in Lion form. Mario turned towards Leo only for Sela to grab a plate and slap it on Leo's face, making him flash back to Human again. "Ow!" "Oh...who are you?" Mario asked Leo in worry. "I'm Leo...and I think my nose is bleeding…" he grunted. "Roll...can you get me a bandaid?" he asked into the kitchen. "There's more?" Mario asked. "Hai...our friend Roll. Ah...but she's very shy, so she takes a while to get use to new people." Amu quickly explained as she gently nudged Sela to play along with her. "Ne, Sela-chan, isn't Roll-chan a sweet girl but very shy at first?" "Oh. Uh, yes," Sela replied, "But she is one who tries to make good first impressions through her cooking." "That's right, so Oji-san please eat." Amu advised, sitting Mario at a seat. "It would mean the world to her if you liked it." Sela moved her way over to Yamato before she began whispering. "Yamato...have you thought of a way to explain Roll to your uncle? Or for that matter Tails, who is stuck under the table…?" "I'm trying...but I can't think of anything solid. Also...I don't want to tell my Uncle about the transforming thing…I know he knows about Flash but this is different" Yamato whispered back from where he was, knowing it seemed Sela had a strong sense of hearing. "Then what can we do?" Sela asked. "Uhm…" Yamato muttered. "Ok I made the cake.." Flash called out as he came in with the cake his animal features out. "Ah!." Mario ran towards Flash as the others looked." Flash you need to hide your feature, you know how they attract others." He whispered. "Don't worry, they think there fake because I work for you and love to wear fake tail and ears." Flash quickly said making an excuse. Mario signed in relief as the oters quickly got the message of what he said. "Hey Tails...come out from under the table!" Leo shouted without tact, Sela, Amu, Tusk, and Yamato and flash all looked at him in surprise at that, "What? ...Guy's stuck under the table after Sela was being mean and pushed him down there." he said before Sela spun around and kicked Leo upside the head, sending him back into the kitchen...a sound resembling a bowling ball getting a perfect strike being heard from within. "Why are there bowling pins in here?" Roll's voice asked. "Hm...someone under the table?" Mario asked, pushing his seat back as the four in the room all panicked. 'Crap!' all four shouted in their heads. 'Dammit, Leo!' Tusk and Sela thought. "So...do I come out now?" Tails asked, poking his hood covered head out from the other side of the table so Mario didn't see his face. "Oh, you must be this 'Tails' that Leo guy was talking about." Mario smiled. "Uhm yes that is I...I mean me. Tails, Miles Prower, but Tails is what everyone calls me." he said, standing up and dusting off his jacket. "Oh...well pleasure to meet you, Tails-kun." Mario smiled, holding out his hand. Everyone began sweating bullets at that. Once Tails turned around, Mario would for sure figure out he's not human. "Oh wait…" Flash remembered. "Tails, wait," she stated bluring up to him. "Shouldn't you take off your costume from the party first?" she asked, using her head to point to the bathroom. "Huh? O-Oh! Right. Thank you, Amu," Tails nodded. Everyone sighed and fell over to the ground from the stress of the situation. "Oh...Tails was wearing a costume...that explained the tails." Mario nodded in understanding. "The stress is too much…" Sela sighed. "How do sitcoms do this all the time?" Yamato questioned. "Leo is okay!" Leo called from the kitchen before they heard something slip and fall, "Leo is not okay!" "Sorry…" Roll spoke up. "I see stars...come here, stars, I'mma eat ya." Leo laughed. "Uhm…?" Flash asked. "He'll be fine." every Mobian in the house said at once. "H-Hai," Yamato and Flash sweat dropped as Mario looked over the food. "This all looks delicious,even the pastries though...Why are these hamburger patties blue?" Mario asked. "I marinated them in a blue sauce," Roll explained from the kitchen. "Ooh…" Mario said at that as he took a bite, "Umai~!" he said happily. Flash took a bite of his," yummy~! It's so much good. But I still take strawberry over blueberry." "Really?" Yamato blinked twice before he took a bite of one as well, "?! U...Umai~! Why is it so good?" "I could tell you...but then I'd need to silence you." Amu replied cutely. Mario chuckled. thinking it a joke...Yamato wasn't so sure that it really was Flash was to busy with his food. "Promise is a promise." she smiled. "We told ya she swore an oath of secrecy." Sela muttered with a smile. "Hey Roll...you have two sisters who look like you…" Leo said from the kitchen. "There's just me in here, silly," Roll giggled. "No, I see three Rolls...who are all doing the same thing as you...Hey! Stop copying your sister, other Rolls!" "What was the rule for Leo with concussion again?" Tusk asked. "Leave him alone?" Amu asked. "Leo, if you don't stop, you won't get food," Roll warned. "...Leo shutting up about your sisters now." "These noodles are a delight! How did you make them so flavorful?" Mario asked. "I put the cut vegetables in it on the open window for a minute to let their flavor be enhanced by the outside air," Roll replied. "Sugoi~! Roll-chan, are you some kind of chef?" Mario asked, eating some more, "Cause...you should...be." he said between bites of food. "I'm just a simple girl raised right by a loving mother and father and protective of her adorable baby brother," Roll sheepishly replied. "Good...sell the shy act a lot." Amu whispered into the kitchen. "Use all the skills passed on from your Kaa-san and do your best to be shy." she cheered her friend. "Normally...you don't get people telling others to be shy." Yamato muttered, enjoying his food himself. "I wouldn't be surprised if she opens a cafe with her family's recipes in a few years," Sela shook her head. "I bet it would be a hit." Flash agreed. "I can be their personal food critic." Amu smiled while drooling slightly. Amu sure loves her tasty food. "No worries, no secrets exposed of course." she stated proudly. "You would just spend all day eating their food." Sela pointed out. "You say that like it's a bad thing." Amu said in a tone of shock. "M-Minna…" Roll blushed inside the kitchen, "It...it's not really that good…" "No...Roll, it's great. But Amu just wants to be greedy and eat it all." Sela sighed. "Even though she thinks she can eat whatever she wants." "And yet I do...and my figure still stays perfect." Amu giggled. 'And yet who got the most free stuff at that 'mall' today?' Sela thought, glancing at the kitchen. "Sela...are you thinking something that will make me mad?" Amu asked with a pout...in spite of the white aura of fear around her that made everyone shiver. Except Flash who's fire aura was saving him form the cold as he was munching on the food. "This fruit salad is yummy, too. Ooh, blueberries…" Mario muttered, not noticing it as he focused of the good food. "N-No, not a thing…" Sela answered quickly, waving the thought off as fast as she could. How Amu seemed to realize people were thinking these things confused them all so much. "Leo is okay now," Leo informed as he stumbled out in his human disguise, a small ziplock bag filled with ice and wrapped in a paper towel taped to his head, "Why is my head cold?" "Don't question it...be smart for once in your life." Tusk stated. "Oka...wait...what's that suppose to mean?!" Leo asked. "I'm Plenty Smarts!" "Exhibit A." Tusk countered while looking at the others. "You've made some interesting friends, Yamato," Mario chuckled. "I guess I have…" Yamato chuckled himself as they continued bickering. "Let's just hope they won't freak out because of Flash animal traits.." Mario whisper to Yamato. "Don't worry... They'll accept him no matter how he looks. I promise.." Yamato told his uncle who looked at the others then back at Yamato and nodded. "Can I come out now...guys?" Tails asked from the bathroom. "Guys...ah man...this is like the road trip all over again…" "We do not talk about the road trip," all the Mobians stated in unison. "Best not to ask…" Mario muttered. "Agreed." Both Boys nodded. "I do wonder if Lady Roll would be capable of using this and not break the blade with that attack of hers," Caliburn pondered as Sonic continued on using him and the halberd on the Moeba and playing 'keep-away' with it. "We can test that later!" Sonic said as he jumped away from the Moeba. They became more annoying since Halbergoi reminded them that their weird double bladed swords could also be laser rifles. "A blade that becomes a gun...Such a strange concept," Caliburn noted as Sonic dodged a round of laser shots. "I find it kind of cool…but it actually would be cool if you know...they transformed in some way...otherwise it's boring. What's the point of a sword shooting if it doesn't change into a gun in some cool way? It's like...what's the point?" Sonic ranted cutting down the Moeba's. He then jumped back as Halbergoi lunged at him. "Return my Halberd…" the alien demanded. "Okay." Sonic said. "Wha...really?" "Yep…" He smiled as he began running in a circle, whipping up a blue tornado before he chucked the Halberd into the distance and past the horizon. "Go fetch boy!" Sonic clapped his hands. "You gonna go fetch?" he asked, treating the alien like a dog. "Y-Gh-g-Ah-You-hoo-hoo~!" Halbergoi was flabbergasted before giving Sonic a mean look, "You are very vindictive little blue creature." "I try," Sonic cheekily grinned. "That is a very vindictive little blue creature," Naria pointed out. "Seems it tries," Ginis chuckled as Halbergoi's leader banged his head against a wall. "I'm going to crush his head if he ever gets back here!" Azald shouted, denting the wall in the image of his face...fangs included. "Haha...it's amusing though." Quval nodded. "This is going into the blooper reel for this planet when the blood game here is over," Ginis ordered. "Okay...I think I bought us a moment to rest." Sonic sighed as Halbergoi was long gone after his weapon. "I hate to admit it...but I don't think just hitting him with you or a spin dash will do the trick…" he sighed, leaning on Caliburn while memoires of the powers of Yamato, Flash and the others flashing back to mind. "Indeed. As I am now, it would be a battle of attrition, one I believe we would surely lose," Caliburn replied, "Though the powers of the others. Surely, they would be perfect for ending this pile...of whatever he is?" he muttered, remembering how each time he cut at Halbergoi, he was not anything organic. It was like his body was made from some kind of mineral, "Perhaps it would be best if we find them posthaste...and not cause a fifty-two horseless carriage pileup of enforcers." "Oh come on. I'm sure they've given up," Sonic shrugged before he heard a siren as a bike was coming over the distance. "Well...most of them anyway." he sheepishly chuckled before blurring off. "Is...Is that bicycle moving upon a single wheel?" Caliburn asked. "Don't know, don't care!" "I've never been so full in my life…" Mario sighed in content, sitting in his studio. He then grabbed some pain and proceeded to paint the animal head he had sculpted. "Finally…" Tails sighed, having eaten his meal with a happy sigh. "Ah...nothing beats Roll's cooking...This is the kind of cooking that makes me consider mooching off Sonic for more." "Shouldn't that be the other way around?" Tusk asked. "You're the smart one." "Yeah...but this food is so good." Tails countered. "Dessert," Roll informed as she set a platter down with multiple multi-berry parfaits, "Enjoy." "Yay!" Amu cheered, taking hers. "Sweet, I got the strawberry one." Flash took his . "I'll go take our uncle his." Yamato said taking one of them. "Thank you very much Roll-san that was the best meal we've had in a long time." Roll giggled, "It's not a problem, Yamato-san." "You know it's almost not half bad here...like a vacation...where we still get to hit stuff!" Leo cheered, already in his makeshift room. "..." Roll rubbed her arm as she looked at the floor. "...We'll find them, Roll," Sela assured. "I'm still worried. I know Kaa-chan will most likely be able to handle herself out there, I'm worried if Nicole-san is still with Haseo-chan," Roll replied. "Oh right…" Tails remembered. "There are so many of us that got sucked up here." "Wait the little fox who looks like tails, right. He's your brother." Flash asked. "Hai.." Roll told with a sad look. "We need to try finding some of them." Sela agreed. "Maybe Tusk can sniffed them out," Amu noted. "I'm not a dog." Tusk stated. "But you…." Tails began before Tusk shoved a spoon full of desert into his mouth. "Sorry…" he cried, feeling it a waste of desert that way. "We'll find them one way or another. But it won't matter how many we find, we can't stuff them in Yamato's and Flash's house and hide them from his uncle. And the giant garage…" Tusk began before Tails raised his hand. "Hanger." Tails corrected. "...the Hanger Tails has turned into a workshop can't do so either...we need the last cube so we can take everyone home." Tusk stated to the others."And since Flash's cube doesn't work like the others so we're stuck till we find the one who took it." "Seems...we won't have much of a vacation after all…" Amu muttered in disappointment. "Alright." she smiled happily, once again making most everyone do a double take at that 180 change. "...Maybe if we bought a place here, we could set it up as a…" she looked at the book Roll had gotten at the mall, "...cosplay cafe with Roll in charge of cooking," Sela noted. "And what about when we all go home?" Tusk asked. "We'll figure something out." Sela waved off. "Besides between Roll's cooking and the combined brians of you and Tails, the business part will be a breeze." "Hey, I can cook aswell." Flash told. "You can?" "Yup, I was always in the house so I needed to do something, so I learned to cook and I know a lot of dishes so I can help." "That can work.." Roll said. "I would like to point out...Tusk is the one who has any kind of knowledge about the business world...I just build stuff." Tails pointed out. "There's also another issue," Roll added, "The currency of this world." "You mean of the entire world or this country?" Tusk asked, making them all look at him. "I pay attention to what folks say." "This country," Roll specified before pulling out a purse and opened it, "All we have are Rings and I'm not sure if Yamato-san and you would be happy if we asked for so much." "The currency of this country is called Yen. It seems to take numbers very strictly since it doesn't use separation of numbers. For example, we add a period after the first amount and then the change. Here, it's just 100, remove the last two digits to get a fair idea of the rate between what it's worth to us and them." he explained. "So...what's a 100 to us is...1 to you all?" Flash asked. "At least here that is...I wondered why it was odd when a store clerk asked for 10,000 for a few days worth of groceries. But it wasn't really 10,000, but 100." Tusk explained. "Sela, Amu, Roll, do you understand it?" he asked ignoring Leo. "Hey...why not me?" "Leo, you suck at math." Everyone said. "You once said two plus two was fish." Tails added. "It is! Take the shape of the two, flip another two around and put them together...boom Fish!" Leo shouted. "..." everyone blinked twice. "Hmm…" Tails pondered as he ate his parfait, "..." he swallowed what was in his mouth before speaking, "I think I heard something on the radio I made about platinum being worth a lot here. How many Platinum Rings do we all have?" "Five," Tusk replied. "One," Leo replied. "Three," Sela and Amu replied. "Ano…" Roll counted before pulling out thirty Platinum Rings, "Thirty." "Where'd you get that kinda money?" Leo gawked. "The maids all came down with the stomach flu at the castle, so I took over their cleaning duties for the day," Roll replied. "Question...how many does Sonic have?" Tusk muttered as Tails pulled out ten rings. "How?" "What? ...People respect the brains for a reason." Tails chuckled. "Where is Sonic, anyway?" Sela pondered. "Last Tails and I heard on the radio? Being chased by the SPD," Tusk replied. "SPD?" they asked. "Space cops." Flash simplified for them."And he had to make them cahse him." "For what?" Amu asked as everyone looked at her. "No...yeah I know, ask a stupid question." she sighed. "So...what's the worst we can expect?" Sela asked before they heard knocking at the door. "Guys! It's me! Please open up! There's some crazy dog guy after me!" Sonic shouted. "How did he find us?" Flash asked. "Dog guy?" Leo asked. "Never mind that!" Sonic complained. "I don't know...What's it worth to you?" Tusk and Tails asked. "What?!" "All your platinum Rings, please," Roll informed. "It's a small price to pay for not spending the night in Jail." Amu muttered. "I mean...who knows? Aliens might find you kind of cute." Flash added. "Alright alright…" Sonic sighed as he slipped a bag of rings through the doors mail slot then about 5 more. "That's it, I swear." he stated before he began trying to jam Caliburn through the mail slot. "Here...you can sell this for a few." he chuckled. "...I am going to pretend I did not hear that, Knave," Caliburn frowned. "Thank you for your bribe," Tusk chuckled, "Roll, open the door." "Hai!" Roll replied before she opened the door and Sonic shot into the room and ended up falling into the tub in his haste before Roll closed the door. "Ah thank you." he sighed before realizing he was in a bathtube. "Yikes!" he shouted jumping out. "There isn't even water in it." Flash laughed. "What was that noise?" Yamato asked walking back in before he saw Sonic sitting on the floor. "Sonic-san?" "Yo Yamato, hope you don't mind my staying the night to evade the Coppers." he chuckled. "Eh?" he blinked. "Don't ask." everyone sighed. "Ahem. Knave, do you not recall our activities prior to the canine officer chasing us?" Caliburn questioned. "Oh right, Aliens." "Huh?" they blinked. "Another of those Deathgeliens showed up, but he's kind of useless without his spear, so I took it. Then I chucked that thing into the ocean and I bet he's barely finding it." Sonic explained. "So I realized he'll be back tomorrow, and your tails will all shoot up randomly, so you know maybe avoid tail accessories for a while on Earth." he chuckled. "Amu, Roll, I'm looking at the two of you." "Hai," Roll nodded. "I'm not getting rid of my tail ribbons." Amu pouted. "Back up...to the evil space alien." Flash said. "No worries. His only tricks come from his spear or halberd...or harpoon," Sonic trailed off, "Anyway, if you can get close and disarm him, he's got nothing." "Wait, really?" Tusk asked before Roll gasped, "What is it?" "I need to show Tails-chan the video!" Roll replied, causing Tusk, Sela, and Sonic to face fault. "Really…?" Sonic asked. "She got to narrate a giant battle, of course she's serious," Amu nodded, "Still...kinda bad timing." "Gomen, Amu-nee," Roll laughed sheepishly, rubbing the back of her head with a sweatdrop. "Where were you and which way did you throw its weapon?" Sela asked. "Let's see...I was in the middle of the highway...began spinning then I tossed it to the west." he explained. "I used all my speed to make sure it flew." he explained with a chuckle. "So...that's all you did?" "What? Caliburn admits as he is now he's not cut out to cut him. Get it?" Sonic chuckled, earning a groan or two. "You neglect to mention that you merely toyed with them all and merely did light injuries instead of striking them as the others did earlier against the one called Jagged," Caliburn added. "..." Sonic developed an annoyed look before he opened the window and held up Caliburn before chucking him out into the forest. "Please don't throw swords into the forest," Flash frowned, "There are innocent animals in it that could get hurt." "He annoyed me. I wasn't just fighting for fun, I was keeping the thing from harming folks." Sonic pointed out. "I figured that more important." "It is, but don't throw him because he annoyed you," Yamato frowned, "We live near a lot of animals here and I don't want to be hurt by accident because you got annoyed." "Alright, alright, I'll never do it again." he promised. "But I'm not picking him up 'till the morning." he chuckled. "Pick him up now," Yamato narrowed his eyes. 'He's gone into that again!' Roll thought before she zipped out and into the kitchen, the sound of the supply closet closing heard. "Okay…" Sonic said with a sweat drop. 'He got Sonic to pick up after himself!' everyone except flash who had a calm look gawked in their minds. Only Sonic's own mother had been able to do such a thing till now. 'No wonder Roll hid,' Tails thought, a small shiver going down his spine, 'I'm not even the target and I feel like I'm getting stared down for something bad.' 'How does he do that? ...He's able to handle all this nonsense from them...and then get them to do as he wants...What is with this human…?' Tusk pondered mentally. "Ne, Tusk, Sonic said he was holding the guy's weapon, right?" Amu asked, earning Tusk's attention, "So why not sniff it out?" "What would be the point? We'll find him once he shows up." Tusk pointed out. "Besides...after that humiliation, I bet he's being yelled out for being stupid." Azald held his hand over Halbergoi's head before smacking the alien and sinking him into the sand beneath their feet. The Moeba's searching for his halberd. "Next time don't lose your weapon before the game begins!" Azald warned his player before he teleported back up to the ship. "Hai…" the alien groaned in pain. *poke-poke* "...Did you just poke with a plastic shovel?" Helbergoi questioned, turning his head to a Moeba that had indeed done that, "...When I get dug out this sand, you are in big trouble." The Moeba thought of that...and proceeded to poke its boss once again. Halbergoi growled in anger at that. "Why are you here?" Tusk asked Sonic as the two sat in front of a campfire near the Link Cube. "When I heard you were sleeping out here...I figured I'd give it a shot with you." Sonic explained. "Hiding Roll from Yamato's and Flash's uncle is already too much work. Tails, don't you agree?" he asked Tails, who was using a gadget to scan the Link cube. "I've got my Hanger and a bed made up for me there." Tails explained. "So I'm perfectly fine." "See?" Sonic smiled. He then grabbed the Kings Credential Yamato left behind. "So...why do you have two?" "It doesn't belong to him….so he left it to me." Tusk explained. "Tusk...that's a little mean even for you." Sonic pointed out. "He...I'm not wrong." Tusk groaned, reverting to his mobian form, his trunk grabbing an apple and lifting it to his mouth for a bite. "Is that what you want to believe...or just an excuse to keep the thing safe so you can go home?" Sonic asked. "I mean...I leave a spare house key with Tails, my Mom, my bro, sis, Sela, Amu, and Roll, plus you. You know why?" he asked with a smirk as he stuck a hotdog on the end of Caliburn and held it over the fire. "Because I trust you all to have a key over myself or rather someone I just met not even a full 24 hours ago." "Wart, I am a sword, not a stick!" Caliburn scowled. "Yeah but when you heat up, it cooks it perfectly." Sonic countered. "So what's your point, Sonic?" Tusk scowled. "You want to go home, right? To your mom and dad? You want to go home to your family's library, to kick back in your room with some new book?" Sonic asked. "I know Tails wants to go home and work on a new random gadget...or make a transforming fighter plane." "Hey...that's not a bad idea." Tails spoke up. "I want to go home so I can run around all those fields that I've worn trails into with my own sneakers." Sonic admitted. "But I don't blame you for wanting to keep that key home safe." he added as he picked up the cube that belonged to Yamato. "I don't get why they trust him so easily…" Tusk admitted. "We don't really know him." "True. He's a total mystery...but I know enough." Sonic countered. "He has...or rather had no powers or weapons except Flash who is also a mystery...yet he still ran in and saved you, Sela, Leo, and Amu. And cause of that 3 of my buds...and you are still around." "So you say we should blindly trust him with one of the items of power from our world?" "Not sure if I'd go that far, but this little trinket likes him. Think of it like your guys' version of this." he said holding up Caliburn. "Only yours is mute and does more stuff besides cut things and roast a perfect hotdog." "I am a sword; tis my nature to cut things," Caliburn informed, "Just as it seems the nature of these cubes are to bestow protection to others." "..." Tusk took the cube back and held it up over the fire to get a better look. "Hah…" he sighed as he put it inside his pocket. "It's getting late. We'll need to sleep." he sighed standing up. "Okay...but turn into that human form...I don't want your trunk slapping me in the face in the middle of the night." Sonic stated. "Who said you were sleeping in my tent?" Tusk asked. "Uh...I am." he shrugged with a smirk. "You know how the Wart is, Sir Tusk," Caliburn sighed, "It would require his mother or Sir Yamato to be here to dissuade him otherwise." "You're right Caliburn." Tusk sighed as he tossed Sonic the extra sleeping bag. "Keep your quills as far away from me as possible…" "Jeez. One time I jab you with my quills and you never let it go." he sighed as he unfolded the sleeping bag before noticing something, "Where'd my hotdog go?" "I gave it to young Tails since he has left for where he is residing in this world," Caliburn replied. "Aw~ man." "It appears I have another use; giving enjoyment to others at the cost of your own amusement," Caliburn chuckled, noticing the smile in Tusk's eyes. "Haha...let's get some Z's..." Sonic sighed before yawning. "Night!" Leo yawned from his little spot on the random ledge. The lion Mobian turned human curled himself into the spot with a pillow from Yamato before he snored himself off to sleep. "I could do it right now…" Sela groaned, realising they had to get use to Leo's snoring. As to what she meant...she was holding a pillow in her hands threateningly. "I have some earmuffs if that makes it better," Roll offered, resting in the supply closet. Apparently, it had a cot inside of it and Roll loved them a lot. "Thanks, Roll." Sela sighed as her hand held some up for her to take. "Good night." she smiled walking off to the random tub in the living room before she climbed in and rest her head against the pillow before putting on the earmuffs. "Good night, Sela-san. Good night, Amu-nee." "Night-night." Amu smiled as she laid down on a swinging couch hanging from a branch. The Tiger girl smiled as her makeshift bed gently rocked her to sleep. "Good night minna." Yamato smiled as he walked into his room. "Good night guys.." Flash went to his room. "Good night, Yamato-san, Flash-san" Roll nodded, 'Maybe some pancakes will be a nice breakfast tomorrow with blueberry serup…' Halbergoi growled as he walked up to a high spot overlooking the city. The Deathgalien held up his freshly reclaimed weapon before he shouted. A dark swirl of clouds then formed in the sky. "Let's bring the rain!" he shouted before giant versions of his halberd began falling from the clouds and obliterated a large building, whipping up a large cloud of dust and destruction, "After I'm done with this, I'm getting that blue bastard!" "Huh?" Amu asked as her tail shot up, sending her pink bow flying off and into the kitchen. "Ah mou…" Roll sighed in relief, barely managing to catch the thing before it could land in her pancake mix. She looked at her own tail to see it standing straight up. "It seems breakfast will have to wait," Roll muttered before walking out and tossing the bow back to Amu before knocking on Yamato's door, "Yamato-san, the alien found his weapon." Flash came out of his room with his tail sticking up." Looks like breakfast has to wait." "Time to go." Leo said as he walked past them before he walked into the kitchen and grabbed a few slices of bacon. "Snack!" he shouted running out of the kitchen. "Leo...that's not cooked!" Sela shouted. "It's my version of sushi!" "Guess he found it," Sonic noted as he looked as best he could at his sticking up tail. "Hmm…" Tusk muttered, seeing his tail doing the same, "Better get going." he sighed as he picked up the tiny Cube Elephant that was walking around the tent in its animal form. His face flashed to his human form as he began walking. "Sonic...try not to eat everything while I'm gone." "You make it sound like I'm Leo." he chuckled, munching on the last apple. "We've both seen you when you're hungry and there is not a chili-dog around, Wart," Caliburn deadpanned. "Whatever you say." Sonic chuckled as Tusk walked off. "There!" Leo pointed at the park as Halbergoi was pointing his halberd at another building. Currently only Leo, Sela, and Amu had made it in time. "Okay...which one...the big one...or the fat one?" Halbergoi pointed at two buildings one taller the other shorter but larger in width. "Which one will make the bigger boom when it falls apart?" he chuckled before his Moeba troops were all blasted by cubes of energy. "What now?!" he asked, turning to see the three Mobians still in human forms, all holding their Zyuoh Busters in gun form. "Humans this time? Well better then a blue spiky thing that is the bane of hell itself." "Does he mean Sonic?" Sela asked. "Maybe…" Amu nodded. "Kill em!" Halbergoi ordered. The Moeba's all grunted in acknowledgment of his order before they pulled out their weapons and charged at them. "Minna ikuzo!" Leo shouted as they pulled out their Kings Credentials. =SHARK~LION~TIGER~!= "Honnoo Kakusei!" the three shouted, twisting the top of the cubes =AHHHHHH~! AH~! AHAHAH~!= At that, the cubes of light formed around them before spinning and flashing away to reveal their color coded suits. The animal projections formed over their heads before biting down, completing the transformation with the formation of their helmets and chest printed animal symbols. "Ikuze!" Zyuoh Lion roared as he swung his hand like claws, striking one of the Moeba in the face with great force before he did the same to another. "These things...are...annoying!" Zyuoh Shark growled, repeatedly kicking one Moeba in the stomach before it fell over with a groan. She then spun around backhanding 3 of the alien grunts at the same time. "Guys!" Flash came running."Heh.. guess this is my first team battle." He took out his King Credential =FOX~!= "Honnoo Kakusei!" he shouted twisting the top of his cube =AHHHHHH~! AH~! AHAHAH~!= At that, the cube of light formed around him before spinning and flashing away to reveal his orange color coded suit. The fox projection formed over his heads before biting down, completing the transformation with the formation of his helmet and chest printed animal symbol like the others. "Ikuze."Zyuoh Fox yelled as he ran towards the Moeba's as he ran and start to kick all them back. He picked one up and hit him to the others and soon more came as he made fire balls and throw them back. He spun and kicked on alien grunt and made it fall back to the others."ok these guys are annoying as heck." He said punching more back. "Ha!" Tiger shouted as she jumped into a tree as the grunts tried, like idiots, to reach up and get her. "But...very stupid." she said before jumping and pouncing on them, knocking down four with her attack before she flipped away from the shots of other Moebas...invertedly hitting their own friends. "But not in any kind of redeemable way like Leo." "Yeah! ...Wait, what?" Lion asked as he flipped one around like a staff before slamming it back first into his knee with a crack. "She says you're a stupid idiot," Shark noted as she punched two Moebas before kicking a third. "But you're our stupid idiot." she added with a sigh as she spun around and kicked four more of the Moeba. "Ah!" Lion nodded as he swung both his hands down like claws and smashed a Moeba in the face, making it twitch and fall over. 'shes like a tasundra girl, of you see it." Fox thought blasting the Moeba's away with his lightning. The Four continued their attack on the endless horde of alien grunts as Halbergoi waited for an opening. At that moment, Yamato made his way to the scene of the fight. The human looked around before he saw the alien. "Minna, the Deathgalien is about to attack!" he warned by shouting at the top of his lungs. "Huh?" the Four asked before they all aimed their Zyuoh Busters at Halbergoi and began shooting. The alien used his halberd to block the energy cubes fired at him. "Hah.. Man this gun is good." Fox muttered shooting more. "Yamato, hurry up and transform!" Lion ordered as he used the Zyuoh Buster to pistol whip a Moeba, making it fall over, "Bad alien grunt, bad!" "I...uhm…" Yamato said before he dodged a swing from a Moeba before he kicked it away as best he could in his civilian state. "Wait...did you forget your Zyuoh Changer?" Tiger asked. "Zyuoh...Changer?" the others asked, tilting their heads...the Moeba's copying this for no reason. "Well...our weapon is Zyuoh Buster." she said, shooing a Moeba, "We call ourselves 'Zyuoh etc animal theme.'" She said, striking another Moeba in the neck, making it seem to gag and fall over in pain, "So...our new changing device should be Zyuoh Changer." she reasoned, shooting a Moeba in the face point blank. "Oh I get it." Lion nodded his head. "No you don't." Shark said as she transformed her Zyuoh Buster into a sword and slashed a grunt across the chest. "You're right, I don't." he shook his head before side stepping a pair of Moeba trying to dog pile him. "But more importantly...Yamato, where is yours?" Fox asked, shooting another Moeba. "I gave it to Tusk!" he explained, kicking the same Moeba in the face and making it stumble back before he ducked a swing from a second. He grabbed at the feelers on its face before pulling them and swinging it around and into a trashcan. Yamato then panicked as three more of the mass produced alien grunts began chasing him. "Eh?!" the Four exclaimed. "Why would you do that?!" Lion shouted as he grabbed one of the Moeba around the waist and performed a suplex, slamming its head into the ground. "It's…" Yamato began as he punched a Moeba in the eye before ducking a swing from one. "I just wanted to…" he started again before avoiding a swing for his head. "Trying to be…" he grunted, kicking the alien footsoldier away. "Ah, I'll explain later!" he shouted, grabbing the last Moeba in a headlock before tossing it away and into a fountain. "Well no need to get cranky about it." Tiger pouted behind her helmet as she leaned forward and kicked her leg back, hitting a Moea in the gut and making it stumble away. "Why does it always have to be in the city?" Tusk questioned as he exited the forest just as a yellow blur skidded to a halt before him. "Please tell me you still have both King's Credentials with you!" Roll spoke quickly. "Don't worry." he said as he kept walking, "It's true...I don't trust Yamato or Flash yet...but..." he trailed off at the end. "But you can't deny that both are honest guys?" Roll guessed. "Flash is still a Mystery...but he's a little trust ful aswell." "So is Yamato.." "If you know the answer already...try telling it to others." Tusk replied with a smirk to his tone as he kept walking, "Do me a favor...have breakfast or lunch...or brunch what ever ready by the time we get back." "Hai," Roll nodded, "But please hurry." she cringed as they saw an explosion in the city, "I think the alien is getting really mad at the others." "Leo's there...What do you expect?" Tusk sighed, picking up pace as he began jogging. "This is such a pain! How many does he have?!" Zyuoh Lion demanded as he slashed another group of Moeba down with his sword. "I stockpiled in case that annoying blue thingy came back!" Halbergoi laughed. "That's annoying!" Shark and Tiger snapped, shooting while back to back. "He brought an entire army!" Yamato shouted, punching another Moeba across the face before more charged. "Ah!" he panicked, running as the alien grunts chased him across the park. "Why do they chase me?!" "Easy pickings!" Halbergoi replied. "Well you're ugly!" Lion shouted at the alien as he slashed another grunt. "See? I can play the insult game, too." he laughed. "Help!" Yamato panicked as he was being chased by even more Moeba's. "This is like almost all of them now!" "He's right." Shark did the math in her head as she shot another Moeba. "Good job, Yamato! Now hold them off 'till we kill the boss!" Lion called out loudly. "..." Tiger and Fox slapped Lion upside the helmet. "Gah! I was just joking…" he muttered sheepishly, knowing Amu and Flash were glaring at him. "Why?!" Yamato asked as he was chased by at least thirty Moeba all grunting and swinging their weapons around like a mad mob. "That's just ridiculous." Zyuoh Foxstated as he rushed over to help. "Agreed." Tiger nodded as she dragged Lion to go help their human friends. "You're all a bunch of idiots!" Tusk's voice shouted as a series of energy cubes hit a few trees. The Moeba's stopped before the trees slowly began falling towards them. The grunts realized the danger too late as the trees fell on them. Yamato sighed in relief at seeing them all downed. "You guys really are useless." Tusk sighed, walking past the three who were in-suit. "Leo, you can't focus. Sela and Amu, neither of you prioritize order and just hit Leo more than the enemy." he scolded the three for their faults."Flash... Your good. You focus on the job." "Well…" the three muttered. Fox simply smile behind his helmet. "Which is why I vote we pick a new leader." Tusk said, suddenly making the Four do a double take. "Are...they...they are! They are ignoring me for their own drama!" Halbergoi shouted. "Tusk, is now really the time for this?" Shark sighed. "Really...I mean we are in the middle…" Tiger began. "This is the best time, because none of you are any good in a team unless you have focus. Last time we did okay because all of us were pissed off." Tusk stated as he pulled out the other Zyuoh Changer, "That's why I elect the only person in the world that can get you stooges to focus except Flash cause his different." "Stooges?" they asked as Tusk walked over to Yamato. "Tusk?" he asked as Tusk put the Cube back in his hand. "Keep it safe…" Tusk stated with a scowl as he looked away. "If you can use it...then you may as well." he stated. "Hai..." Yamato nodded slowly. "Arigato, Tusk-san." "..." Tusk just nodded to the human before they turned to face Halbergoi as he fished out two more coins from his person and turned them into a final battalion of Moeba. "BEAT THEM SENSELESS FOR IGNORING ME FOR THEIR OWN DRAMA!" "Ikuze, Yamato." Tusk stated. "Ah," Yamato nodded as both held up their recently dubbed Zyuoh Changers. =EAGLE~ELEPHANT~!= "Honnoo Kakusei!" they called out as red and green cubes formed around them. =AHHHHHH~! AH~! AHAHAH~!= At that, their suits formed in flashes of light before projections of an eagle and elephant swept over their heads, forming their helmets and the animal symbols. At that, all six stood side by side with Eagle in the center, Lion and Tiger to his right with Shark and Elephant to his left. Fox standing with lion and tiger. "Ozora no Ouja!" Eagle shouted as a burst of fire formed around him as he jumped while striking his pose from his first transformation, "Zyuoh Eagle!" "Araumi no Ouja!" Shark stated as a surge of water formed around her, "Zyuoh Shark!" "Savana no Ouja!" Lion growled, holding his arms up like claws as lightning fell around him, "Zyuoh Lion!" "Shinrin no Ouja!" Elephant declared, stomping the ground as green wind picked up leaves around him, "Zyuoh Elephant!" "Setsugen no Ouja!" Tiger cheered as a blizzard formed around her, "Zyuoh Tiger!" "Hono no Ouja!" Fox declared as lightning and Fire came around him,"Zyuoh Fox." Eagle held out the handle for his sword/whip the EagRiser as the blade extended from the crossguard before he held it across his arm. The green of his helmet lit up as he performed the movement. "Dobutsu Sentai!" he shouted as his EagRiser turned into whip mode as he swung it down with his left arm, while he held his right fist up into the air. The other four crouched down and posed in front of him while fox stood up pointing his fist up. "Zyuohgers!" they all shouted as a symbol of an Eagle with a Lion, Shark, Tiger Elephant and Fox formed behind them. "Huh?" Halbergoi blinked at that. "Kono hoshi yo." Zyuoh Eagle stated as he cracked his EagRiser loudly. "Namerunayo!" he shouted, pointing at the Deathgalien. "Heh...get em!" Halbergoi ordered the Moebas. "Yasei Kaihou!" all 6 Zyuohgers shouted as the animal eyes on their suits lit up. Lion and Tiger formed their claws, Shark grew her dorsal fin, Elephant's feet grew larger, Eagle sprouted his crimson wings, Fox hand formed claws like Tiger but we're sharper and his feet grew fox type claws. Eagle shouted as he flew forward and tackled through the Moeba troops. He then pushed himself up higher into the air before he dove back down. He then began spinning around as flames and embers came out of his wings. Before he became a spiral of fire that drove through more of the Moeba incinerating them. "GAO!" Lion roared as he slashed his left claw, unleashing a flash of thunder from each claw taking down a group of Moeba. He swung his right taking down even more. He then raised both his claws up then down, unleashing a wide barrage of thunder bolts on the Moeba, making them explode. "Ha!" Shark shouted as she jumped into the ground...and to her, it became water. Her fin was the only thing visible as she began corralling the Moeba into a group. She then jumped out before spinning into a ball with water surging around her before she flew at the group of Moeba and sawed through all of them at once. "PAON!" Elephant trumpeted as he stomped his feet, making the ground around him crack as green shockwaves made it all explode and send the Moeba flying up into the air. "Ha!" he roared as he spun around and began kicking chunks of concrete with his feet, covering them in a green aura as he sent them flying at more of the Moeba and crushing them. "Ha!" Tiger shouted as she slashed with her claws while rushing past the Moeba. Each one she slashed grunted as frost bite began spreading through it's body. She then jumped into a tree before she began swinging her claws quickly, unleashing pink energy blades at all the Moeba's gathered on the ground, causing large puffs of snow and ice before all the grunts were frozen until shattering. "Ha!" Fox shouted as he ran in speed by his feet and slashed many Moeba. He slashed with his blazing claws and soon kicked the others away with fire kicks and spin dash. He then gave uppercut to one and grabbed his leg while he was in thin air and smashed him with the others. He then hit the others with lightning blasts as they all were soon shocked to the core as there bones were being seen. "Ah…" Halbergoi blinked as he saw the utter destruction of his small army of grunts. "You're the only one left!" Zyuoh Fox growled as the Zyuohgers all stood side by side. "Grrr...I will kill all of you!" Halbergoi growled in anger as he slashed his halberd, sending a slash wave at all of them. Shark and Lion jumped forward with their Zyuoh Busters swords and countered the attack from the Deathgalien player, resulting in a huge explosion. Halbergoi laughed in victory only for two figures to rush out of the smoke. "Ha!" Elephant shouted, slashing Halbergoi across the chest and making him stumble back. "Yamato!" he shouted, holding his hand out as Eagle grabbed it. Elephant then swung Eagle around as he kicked Halbergoi across the face, making him stumble back. Both Eagle and Elephant then jumped forward and slashed the Alien making him stumble back more. Fox came in a d then slashed Halbergoi across the chest with his claws before Elephant stabbed the alien, making it stumble back even more as sparks flew off the contact. Elephant then grabbed Eagle's arm before swinging him around. Eagle used the leverage to add to his next slash as he left a large scratch in Halbergoi's body. As Eagle's feet touched the ground, he used the same momentum from Elephant to swing him around. Elephant used this moment as he extended his leg out with all his might and kicked Halbergoi, sending him flying back and across the ground. Both Zyuohgers stood side by side, swords at the ready as the others all ran back up to join them. Halbergoi roared getting back to his feet as he raised his Halberd up. The blade then began to glow with a purple aura before the blade itself began to grow to the size of a large vehicle or small building. The Alien swung his newly sized weapon around with no difficulty. The Zyuohgers all cried in shock as they scrambled to dodge the giant blade coming down on them. "Sonic really should've just gone as far away from him with the thing as he could and dump it in a volcano," Shark muttered. "That would imply Sonic thinks!" Elephant shouted as he ducked another swing. "I always wanted a sword the size of a house...but not like this!" Lion cried as he flipped over a low swing. "Wait for it." Eagle stated more calm than the rest as he saw Halbergoi set up for another low swing. "Tusk, jump now!" he ordered. "Huh...got it!" he shouted as he jumped as the swing came at them. "HA!" he shouted as his feet grew again as he stomped on the tip of the blade, the force of his foot coming down on the blade imprinting it into the ground. "Nani?!" Halbergoi gawked. "Pin it down!" Eagle ordered as he jumped on the blade next. "Got it!" Lion shouted as he, Fox ,Shark and Tiger all pushed down on it with their hands, keeping Halbergoi from swinging it around. "Oi!" Halbergoi snapped as he tried to get his halberd out to no avail. "Get your heavy selves off mah Halberd!" "How rude!" Tiger shouted. "Only Tusk is heavy! You don't call girls heavy!" "You should know," Tiger and Shark deadpanned while looking at Lion. "...I wonder what'll happen if I move my foot?" Elephant asked, making the three look up at him. "Yes. Please move your foot." Halbergoi ordered. "Tusk...you heard him." Fox said before he backflipped off the blade. Eagle doing the same as Elephant then lifted his foot as Halbergoi pulled...and ended up falling at the loss of leverage, the other three doing the same at the sudden action. "Tusk...Yamato...Flash...mean." they muttered as they all stood back up. "You had it coming for wasting time," Elephant stated as his feet reverted to normal. "Still mean…" Tiger pouted. "Agreed…" Halbergoi groaned in annoyance. "All together now." Eagle ordered, holding up his Zyuoh Buster sword. "Let's end this." Elephant added, holding up his. "Okay!" Lion shouted, holding his up as well. "Right!" Shark and Tiger agreed, their own swords up. "I got this." Fox said as he start to make a energy ball of lightning. =ZYUOH~ SLASH~!= Halbergoi heard that and then looked up as all five Zyuohgers jumped into the air while glowing with energy. Their pooled energy then began to combine before the five heroes merged into a giant claw made of gold energy. It raised up five fingers before five claws colored in white, yellow, red, green and blue extended. The Claw raised itself up before slashing down and cutting into Halbergoi with five streaks of light. Fox threw the energy ball at Halbergoi making him fall back. The claw construct then fell apart to reveal the 5 Zyuohgers, all standing their with their swords held out. "No fair!" Halbergoi cried as he exploded. "Gah...that idiot…" Azald groaned, smacking his own head. "Naria...continue…" he groaned, leaning against a bar in the ship. Ginis tossed Naria a gold coin as she bowed respectfully. "Hai." she said as the green coin thing covered her as she teleported down once more. "Ah finally…" Eagle sighed. "That was a work out." Tiger admitted, stretching a bit. "Don't be so sure we're done," Fox advised as he looked around, "What if that alien woman shows up again?" "Oh please. We beat him up even better than the other!" Lion roared, "No way they'd be able to do that again!" "...3…..2….1…." Shark counted down as Naria appeared, "And you jinxed it, Leo." "Damn you!" Lion cursed the universe. "This is infused with Ginis-sama's own cellular energy, please don't waste it." Naria said, kissing the medal before inserting in the slot no one noticed on the alien till now. "A...A coin slot?" Lion gawked. "Didn't Jagged have one too?" Elephant asked. Halbergoi's eye lit up as his body rose up and regenerated before he began growing rapidly until he was around the same height as many of the buildings around them. "Thank you...NARIA!" he shouted, holding up his halberd. "It did it again!" Lion roared. "Hai...hai. ...Yeah, it grew," Tiger spoke on her Zyuoh Cube, "Okay, take care." "Who did you just call? And this actually works as a phone?" Shark asked. "Whoa! Guess they didn't break it up enough, huh," Sonic noted as he looked out to the city where the giant Halbergoi was laughing. "I need to get a sample of that creature's body. Whatever caused its cells to change and revive it must be amazing." Tails nodded as the two sat on the edge of a skyscraper. A yellow blur stopped by them and the two looked just in time to see Roll pulling out her camera on a tripod. "I am so glad I just finished making breakfast when Amu-nee called," Roll spoke in excitement as she made sure everything was working on it. "Roll...what're ya doing?" Tails asked out of innocent curiosity. "Wait for it…" Roll replied as she looked out towards the giant Halbergoi while pulling a microphone out, her tail wagging like mad in anticipation. =ZYUOH CUBES~EAGLE~SHARK~LION~ELEPHANT~TIGER~FOX~!= "...Y...They have giant robots," Tails blinked twice, "...Oh mother emerald, Sonic, did…" "Yep." "And she…" "Yep." "...Well...I guess 'congrats on getting to do one of your childhood dreams', Roll?" Tails sweatdropped. "Let her enjoy her fun." Sonic chuckled getting comfy. "The show's about to get awesome." "Ikuze!" Zyuoh Eagle ordered as Cube Eagle began raining laser fire on Halbergoi. "I'll show you real rain!" he shouted as he summoned the dark storm cloud as it began showering halberds down on the Cube animals. "Oh boy!" Eagle gulped as Cube Eagle folded back into cube mode while spinning, deflecting all the halberds away from his team. "Konnichiwa, minna-san!" Roll winked at the camera, "Watashi wa Roll, desu! As you're seeing right now, the Zyuohgers are within another giant battle! With me are Sonic, Caliburn the sword, and Tails!" "If anything, they just need to take the guy's weapon from him. Then it becomes hilarious," Sonic snickered. "Who's she talking to on that?" Tails asked. "Let's go, Mini-Big-Me!" Lion roared as he spun his control cube. Cube Lion roared as it unleashed a blast of lightning at Halbergoi, making him stumble back. "Bite!" Shark ordered as Cube Shark bit Halbergoi's arm. "GAH!" he cried in surprise before he heard another chomp sound. He saw Cube Lion biting his other arm. "AH!" he cried in shock, trying to shake them off to comical effect. "And it seems they're trying to get Halbergoi to drop his weapon!" Roll noted, "And here comes Cube Tiger and Cube Elephant to get in on trying to get it away from him!" "Ike!" Tiger cheered as Cube Tiger's claws began scratching as Halbergoi's legs. "Let's go!" Elephant ordered as Cube Elephant began firing green energy blasts from its trunk that blasted Halbergoi's chest. "Get off me!" Halbergoi shouted. Cube Fox came in running as his claws glowed and he jumped up and slashed him with fire attacks. Making him stumble,"I'll show you my blazing passion." Zyuoh Fox said as Cube Fix then made a energy ball in his mouth and blasted it at Halbergoi. He was hit back and fall down. "Oh! Looks like Cube Fox is showing his blaze and thunder. Look at him go." Roll cheered," Wow the energy claws are amazing so is the lightning ball." "We can't finish him off like this. We need to combine again," Eagle ordered, pulling his Zyuoh Changer out of the control cube and pressing the blue button, forming the three golden square hoops in the sky. "Cube-shaped hoops?" Tails blinked before they ignited, "...Huh. For some reason, I want to see Leo go through one by himself." "Not this time." Tiger giggled as Cube Tiger grabbed Cube Elephant with its claw. "Oi...Amu!" Elephant cried as Cube Tiger jumped towards the hoops with Eagle. "Oh? A new combination?" Roll pondered. The three passed through the hoops, forming their number inside. "Dobutsu Gattai!" Eagle shouted, pressing the buttons and closing the cube. The three Cube Animals folded back into cubes as the three pilots twisted the tops of the cubes, letting them line up. =YON~GO~ICHI~!= "What's going on?" Tails blinked as he saw the key from the previous combination appear. "When three warriors and three animals unite, the king of the Zyuoh Animals comes forth," Roll replied, "And it's name is…" =ZYUOH KING~!= The tower slowly turned around as the giant key plugged into the 3 cubes, before Eagle's arms unfolded, while Tiger and Elephant split into legs. The Elephant legs feet bigger than the Lion legs while the Tiger cube's claws then unfolded forward as Zyuoh King's face revealed itself. "Kassei Zyuoh King!" Eagle, Tiger and Elephant shouted in the shared cockpit for Zyuoh King. "Yay! I get to be in the big robot this time!" Tiger winked. "Amu, focus!" Tusk shouted. "I am." she pouted. "Hey wait...you guys took our spot!" Lion realized. "I wanted to be in a giant robot mode this time." Fox pouted. "Ah...Better luck next time, Zyuoh Lion, Zyuoh Shark, Zyuoh Fox" Roll spoke, "But what will this new formation of Zyuoh King be capable of against Halbergoi?" she rang a gong her tail pulled out of her bag, "Start!" "Ikuze!" (Insert song: Dobutsu Gattai Zyuoh King) Zyuoh King stomped forward before raising its new leg and kicking Halbergoi in the chest, making him stumble back. The giant alien growled in anger, only for Zyuoh King to raise its knee and slam the claws into its chest, making sparks fly. "These are a lot more deadly than they look." Tiger giggled as Zyuoh King patted the claws extending from its legs. "This form is quite the kicker, huh?" Sonic noted. "I would not like to be the one receiving the ends of those knee claws," Roll observed, "Oh! And it seems that Halbergoi is getting rather livid s evident by his shaking his weapon at Zyuoh King. He looks madder than when Sonic-san ate that gorilla's banana." "I have no regrets." Sonic smirked. "I will crush you!" Halbergoi shouted, charging only to trip on Cube Shark. "We're still here too, toga boy!" Shark shouted. "That's a toga?!" Lion asked as Cube Lion bit on Halbergoi's leg and began dragging him down the streets, "Grr...grr!" he said happily as the Alien scrambled to get free. Cube Fox came from behind and clawed him in the back with fire claws making him fall forward but he still stood. "Even if they're unable to assist by combining with Zyuoh King, Cube Lion Cube Fox and Cube Shark show fierce loyalty in assisting in the battle!" Roll narrated, "Ah! Zyuoh King has noticed its chance for an attack!" "Ikuze!" Elephant ordered as Zyuoh King moved on the commands they input. Zyuoh King charged over to Halbergoi, weaving around buildings before kicking the Alien in his stomach as Cube Lion let go. The Deathgalien rolled across the ground before coming a halt. As Halbergoi, looked up it saw Zyuoh King weaving around buildings despite its size and weight. The Mecha got close before slamming another strike with the knee claws to Halbergoi's chest, making sparks fly. "Oh...Tusk's love of football makes that big lug lighter on his feet then you'd expect." Sonic chuckled, seeing the moves of Zyuoh King. "I thought they called it 'soccer' here from what the radio I made picked up," Tails noted. "Could be a difference in language," Roll shrugged. "Now for the finisher!" the three pilots shouted in unison as they pulled their cubes out and slotted them back in with the red face pointing out now, activating the finisher for the mecha. "Yatta! It's the hissatsu waza!" Roll cheered as she saw the mecha glowing. Zyuoh King began pouring the power of the three cubes that comprised its body into its legs. Using all its power, it jumped high up into the air. Halbergoi gawked at the clear ignoring of physics as the Mecha kept its rise into the sky. Once it reached the apex of its jump, it aimed its right leg down at Halbergoi. "Zyuoh...MEGATON KICK!" all three pilots shouted as the voice of Zyuoh King as it shot at Halbergoi like a missile. Cubes of energy formed around it as it flew at Halbergoi before the cubes shot at the alien, trapping it in place just as the kick connected with his body. After a moment of struggle, Zyuoh King's attack won as it tore through Halbergoi's body. The mecha skidded to a halt across the street as the Deathgalien had a square hole in his body. "AH!" he cried, exploding in a large explosion as blocks made from whatever material he was formed of fell around Zyuoh King. "YATTA!" Roll cheered, "Zyuoh King has won once more! Here's to another victory, Zyuoh King!" she turned to the camera and waved, "Until next time, minna!" "Seriously, who is she speaking to?" Tails asked. "I decided not to question it." Sonic stated as a block of material landed next to him and Tails. "Hey Tails...there's your sample." "..." "Um...Sonic?" "Yeah, Tails?" "It landed on Caliburn." "I know," Sonic nodded. "Uh..." Tails was about to ask again. "No...he likes it like that." Sonic joked. "..." Tails and Roll just shared looks. "Yes." Eagle cheered as he high fived Tiger. "Yay!" she smiled behind her helmet. Eagle then turned to Elephant with his hand held up. Elephant just ignored it. The three were currently standing on Zyuoh King as it walked through the early morning sun of the city and back towards the forest. Tiger had talked them into letting Zyuoh King celebrate the victory with them. "I may have to make more pancakes if the Cube Animals aren't their normal size," Roll sweatdropped. "Oh they don't need to eat." Tiger waved off. "Besides." she said, taking a shrunken Cube Lion off Zyuoh Lion. "Look! They are so cute when small." she said holding it up to Roll. "See...see." she cheered. "Well, he is kawaii at this size, but still really tough, too," Roll complimented, earning a squeaky roar from Cube Lion. "Even when Mini-Me is Mini-Me, he's the toughest!" Lion roared, Cube Lion roaring with him. "But it's more cute, though. But my Cube Tiger is much cuter." Tiger chuckled as Zyuoh King began shrinking, giving them a sign to jump off. "Nope mine is more cuter," Fox said as Cube Fox squeak and jumped around him and soon on Roll head. "Well, He's cute." Roll said as she patted Cube fox. Sonic and Tails jumped off followed by the Zyuohgers with Tiger carrying Roll as they all landed on the ground. Zyuoh King now toy size before folding into cubes and separating into its three cube animal forms. "I guess they can't maintain it for long," Roll noted as the three cubes unfolded and went to their respective partners. "Ah...you're such a good girl." Tiger stated petting Cube Tiger, as her suit flashed away, revealing Amu. The others all dispersed their suits as Cube Eagle landed on Yamato's shoulder and Cube Elephant climbed up Tusk's leg and into his hand.Flash Cube Fox ran at him and on to his hand. "What kind of pancakes did you make?" Tails asked. "Chocolate pancakes filled with chocolate chips," Roll replied, "With a blueberry syrup and a strawberry syrup and for Flash Strawberry pancakes with and chocolate syrup." "Let's eat!" Leo and flash cheered,As Leo wrapping his arms around Yamato and Tusk. "Yeah...let's." Tusk sighed as he pulled Leo's arm off his shoulder. "Ah...he's warming up to the place." Amu smiled. "That's good to hear," Roll smiled. "Let's just eat, we can tease our tsundere type later." Sonic chuckled. "I am not a Tsundere." "Aw~...It's okay, Tusk-kun, we still love you." Amu smiled patting his shoulder. "This is not amusing one bit," Tusk deadpanned. "I don't know; I'm amused," Sonic smirked, "Then again, it could be worse." "How could it be worse?" "You could've been a Yandere," Sonic replied to Tusk's question. "I'm going to kick you...in a place so that you never pass on that curse of being annoying to the next generation of Mobians." Tusk stated in calm anger. "Wow...you're mad…" Sonic chuckled nervously, hiding behind Roll and Yamato. "Tusk-san, if you don't behave, you won't get to have homemade whipped cream on your pancakes," Roll warned. "You're just protecting your boyfriend," Tusk argued, making her blush slightly. "Someone just lost whipped cream." Flash stated. "Your uncle Mario isn't allergic to chocolate, is he?" Roll asked. "No, of course not." Flash shook his head. "Yokatta…" Roll sighed in relief, "By the time I ran out of pancake mix, I realized I didn't know if he was or not." "No worries, Oji-san has few problems like that." Yamato explained. "But I worry what we'll do about food once you guys go home and take Roll back with you." "It always happens. When a Sakurai cooks, you know that the eaters are going to get hooked," Tusk shook his head. "Indeed." Amu nodded. "I know my mom and I love Roll's cooking a lot!" "I bet my family must be missing Roll and her mom," Sela smiled. "I get to still enjoy it!" Leo cheered. "It...It's not really that big…" Roll blushed harder. "Let's just enjoy our day." Yamato smiled at his new friends. "We already took care of the Deathgalien...so we can enjoy our day in peace." "Okay!" everyone agreed. Flash on the other hand just looked as they were going he was soon feeling down after hearing that."... Family..." He muttered. Roll stopped and looked back seeing Flash not coming,"Flash-san, were leaving! Aren't you coming!" She shouted making him snap out. "O..Oh...No I'm coming." He told as he ran twords them as he passed by her. She soon saw his fake smile as he ran to the other. Roll looked back at him going with the others,'He's feeling sad.' she thought. She didn't know why but she went on ahead with the others soon. Unnoticed to them the hooded Figure from before was alone this time and was watching the others go. But she was more focused on the certain hybrid. Eggman's Legal Troubles part 2 "Ugh…" Eggman groaned, climbing over a wall. "Finally...I'm free of that old person's home…" he grunted, landing on the floor. "The free supply of pudding was nice though…" "I stole the recipe for it," Orbot informed. "And I stole the medicine cabinet." Cubot added, wearing a knitted cap with dreadlocks hanging out. He was also talking in a Jamaican accent. "Why?" Eggman asked with a groan. "Why not, man?" Cubot laughed happily. "Ugh…" Eggman groaned, slapping his face. "Okay okay...enough. Listen; while stuck in that home for the ancient and lonely, I was able to hack a computer and learn that those SPD folks who were following Sonic all day. They have tons of nice robot parts we can use." he laughed while holding up a holographic pad. "Um...sir? You're not suggesting we 'borrow' those parts, right?" Orbot asked, "Because correct me if I'm wrong, aren't these 'SPD' people space police?" "So? They couldn't catch even Sonic, which proves that they're really incompetent at their job," Eggman scoffed. "Hey take it easy man, you gots to relax." Cubot said as he hopped after Eggman. "I'll relax once I've dealt with that blue pest Sonic, find my base, and then get back to Mobius and conquer it," Eggman countered as he began to grin, "With Sonic and most of the Freedom Fighters out of the way, I can finally realize my full dream and rule Mobius...no, Planet Eggman!" "Boss man...you need to try Limbo, it will help relieve some of the stress you be feeling." Cubot ignored all of that ranting and continued with his pushing relaxation on his creator. "I'll show you relieving some stress," Eggman frowned, grabbing Cubot and punting him into a tree. "Now...wait!" he shouted, stopping at the sidewalk. "I'm not risking bringing that blue glorified traffic cop back… Find the crosswalk." he ordered to Orbot. "Exactly 1.5 miles ahead at the next corner," Orbot replied. "I hate this world…" Eggman grunted. -One long and extremely tiring trek through the city on foot later- "Ugh…" Eggman and Orbot groaned, finally making it to SPD headquarters...which was...a giant robot head sticking out of the ground. "...That's...rather disturbing," Orbot admitted as Cubot floated over, six dots on his forehead. "What a waste of a robotic head." Eggman muttered. "Okay...most of the base is under ground...start digging." he ordered, presenting Orbot with a jackhammer and shovel, "Once we get in, I'll dominate the entire world!" "Overconfidence is a flimsy shield," Cubot stated calmly. "Just dig you waste of circuits." he ordered, dropping the equipment on them. Cubot moved out of the way, catching the shovel, "Do not be discouraged, everyone begins in ignorance." "Just Dig!" he ordered as Orbot began breaking concrete with the Jackhammer, "...Know what? After we get in, I'll use this as a new base, and turn this entire city into a new Robotropolis so I can conquer this world, then Mobius! Ha ha! It'll be like Roboticizing two birds at the same time!" "Pray tell? What is this 'Roboticizing'?" a voice asked "Hmm? Oh that's easy. You see, first I toss a animal, Mobian or human into my Roboticizer, and after a few seconds, boom! They come out as a machine with no free will, and as to do whatever I say!" "Eh…?" a new voice asked in interest. "That doesn't sound ethical." a third voice added. "It's very ethical! Don't have to worry about paying them, and if they start to break down, I just 'retire' them and use their spare parts to fix any of my machines and such!" "Nonsense, that just sounds plain maniacal." "So? I did it for years before I got 'dethroned' by a stupid blue hedgehog and his siblings. But no matter. All I need to do is break into this base, take control of it, and rebuild this city into a new base for myself," Eggman went on as Cubot wisely surrendered his shovel to one of them. "What's wrong with blue?" two voices asked at once...one ending their sentence with a growl. "Lord Eggman, ignorance is the sure path to failure," Cubot advised. "What are you talking about...uh?" Eggman blinked, turning around and seeing a total of seven people standing there. "So...you're trying to break into my base?" a tall humanoid german shepherd with blue and white fur asked. He was wearing a long black coat with sunglasses over his eyes. "Once...okay 1, I allowed it, 2...I put it underground. 3...no way in hell." he stated. "This old man must be senile." A woman wearing a yellow uniform muttered, holding the shovel Cubot surrendered. "So...he seems just plain stupid." a short woman in a pink uniform replied. "Nonsense, 'stupid' would imply he's smart at times." a man in a white and blue uniform stated. "Old Timer, why you messing with our base?" a man in a blue and black uniform asked. "Hm...no matter how I think of it, he's probably just another space criminal." a man in a green uniform muttered. "Hehe...oh, I've missed these random little adventures," a man in a bright all red uniform smiled. "Gh...I...Just another criminal?! Why you...listen here! I am Dr. Robotnik! The greatest scientific genius in the world!" Eggman snapped. "We cast Judgment on the last person to say that." The man in blue stated. "And then the next." the man in green stated. "And the next." the two women added. "And the next." The man in white said. "You're just a small fish in a great big pond, tubby." the man in red smirked. "Tubby?!" Eggman growled before seeing Cubot accepting the handcuffs of the woman in yellow, "Cubot?!" "In anger you defeat only yourself," Cubot informed. "What?!" Eggman shouted. "We can do this one of two ways." The man in red stated. "Put on the cuffs, or Murphy." "Murphy? Who's Murphy?" Eggman then felt his shoe was wet as he looked down to see a white robotic dog...releasing a blue colored coolant on his foot. =Arf!= it barked up at Eggman before walking over to the woman in pink. "Did that dog just...whizz on Lord Eggman?" Orbot realized. "An interesting observation," Cubot replied. "Who are you people?!" Eggman shouted in anger and confusion. "Special Police Dekarangers." the humanoid dog stated. "SPD, also known as Tokusou Sentai Dekrangers." he stated, pulling out a badge looking device. "And for your admittance at past crimes on whatever world you came from as well as attempt to repeat such crimes here on the Earth...Judgment!" he shouted, flipping open the device as a clock formed around Eggman. "Now the narrator shall explain how this works." The girl in yellow stated. "Narrator?" Orbot repeated. The Dekarangers have the ability to call upon the galaxies most wise jury. Their judgments are absolute and final. The Ultimate jury to judge any criminal in the galaxy. At that, the timer stopped as a Red X formed over Eggman. "Guilty!" the man in red smirked. "Delete approved!" "Delete...what's that mean!?" "We get to blow you up." the woman in yellow stated bluntly. "WHAT?!" Eggman and Orbot yelped. "It is time to pass on to the Iris," Cubot merely accepted his fate. "Murphy!" the woman in pink said tossing a...bone to the robot dog. After Murphy bit down on it...it transformed and unfolded into a double barreled cannon. "Run!" Eggman panicked. running in a random direction, grabbing his two robots. "Fire!" the humanoid shepherd ordered as Murphy fired twin balls of plasma that flew after Eggman. "AH!" Eggman cried as the blast hit the ground and launched him flying into the sky. "So...we weren't really gonna delete him, right?" the girl in pink asked. "No...that was just a joke app I downloaded." the humanoid canine explained whimsically, "But damn if I'm letting it happen a third time." "Where do you think he'll land?" the man in blue asked. "Who cares?" the man in white asked, "He just spewed nothing but Nonsense." he stated, wagging his finger. =Attention, the blue humanoid hedgehog has appeared once more and is heading northwest.
