“So, you had Chaos Control activate again?” asked the voice of a vile Cybertronian.
“Not in my preferred ways, but yes, it occurred again,” answered another voice, cybertronic but of different origin than the first.
After a hum of quiet thought, the first voice then said “Interesting. Unpredictability it’s brought, but still interesting.”
In the Darkness that collected the worst of the worst of beings, members of the Brotherhood of Darkness have gathered together to discuss the aftermath of the recent events on Mobius. Galvatron, leader of the Decepticons and the Brotherhood, and Dark Oak, ruler of the Metarex, were the two highest authorities of the evil syndicate and called for a round table meeting with some other members. It was the day following of the Metarex ruler’s attempted attack of Team Sonic’s home planet, and anyone who had an involvement in the attack of that world, or any others simultaneously, joined the two in discussion. The aftermath left its mark in more than one way, and this allowed open doors of opportunity for the Brotherhood to take advantage of. This meeting was to look into what options were available, and what directions were best to take.
“So, what exactly did happen after the Chaos Emeralds reacted?” asked the Lich.
“After Tails’s interference, the machine that powered my newest ship into its destructive potential malfunctioned. It was unable to properly control the power of the emeralds, so their reaction resulted in a blinding light. I had escaped the ship before it happened, but what readings and visuals were transmitted from the ship to back here showed it all to me,” Dark Oak explained.
“Until that power destroyed your ship,” Gorrath addressed.
Galvatron then stated “And like the ship, nothing inside the blast was found dropping back down to the planet.”
“Nothing? But what about the parts of the ship that supposedly fell into the ocean?” asked the spirit of Evil Marik.
“Remnants of what was the ship not engulfed in Chaos Control,” the Metarex answered.
Aku spoke next, addressing two vital topics. “More importantly, we are left without the complete knowledge of what happened to those that remained on the ship- the Chaos Emeralds, and the two hearts one Dark Oak left behind Alive.”
“Yes,” concurred Jafar. “Where have those gems gone off to this time?”
“According to our readings, they’ve separated again, each in a different location,” Galvatron said.
“Sounds like a case of déjà vu,” Dark Phantom stated. “They spread back out across the planet again, haven’t they?” Neither leader of the Metarex or Decepticons answered the ghost’s question, so he then asked “Don’t tell me they’re spread across that galaxy again? Going through it last time was time wasted enough.”
“I agree,” added Dr. Tenma. “Depending on where the emeralds have gone, this could give any of us a chance to take action. What do you have to tell us, Dark Oak?”
The Metarex ruler just kept silent for a moment, but then informed them of what data he had collected from after his departure from that world. “Chaos Control has always worked in mysterious ways, causing unknown phenomena depending on their use. History has told us through Dr. Eggman that its first consequence, in interdimensional terms, sent those of that planet to the dimensional Earth parallel to Mobius, taking what was inside the blast there without a trace. It would seem that it happened again, this time showing a disappearance count for our particular targets to three.”
“Tails, Cosmo, and a Chaos Emerald,” Galvatron added. “According to Metarex technology, those are the only three that have not been found post Chaos Control, meaning they have traveled elsewhere.”
This news came as a mild surprise to the group, but it was still unusual for just one Chaos Emerald to vanish along with the Metarex’s prime targets. “And where have they ended up?” asked the Evil Marik.
“Somewhere undetectable. No traces can be found, and no known world shows signs of Chaos Reaction,” answered Dark Oak.
“Interesting, but what does that mean for us?” Hades asked.
None spoke at first, but when his thoughts compiled, Aku spoke next. “Interesting indeed. The disappearance of the emerald, fox and seed will put all of Team JAG in a state of unease. They will use every resource they have to look for them, scanning and exploring every known planet and the universes they are in. With all their sights on this, they may or may not see what could come up anywhere at any moment.”
“Exactly,” Galvatron said. He then stood up, and took long and giant steps around his syndicate of fellow Brotherhood members. “This is a rare opportunity for us, and we must seize it for our gain. With their disappearances from all known locations, there’s no telling where they’ve ended up, or if they can return. It is time we use this to our advantage, and plot another simultaneous wave of onslaught, a wave of sheer death and destruction to cause suffering to the foes that deserve it most. I am sure you all will agree to this, or I’ll take control of all your forces as my own.”
None of them objected, agreeing to this plan. “Then it is settled. While all the heroes are distracted with Tails and Cosmo’s disappearance, we attack,” proclaimed Dark Oak.
“Very well, but there still remains what is not known by anyone,” said the Shredder, “and that is where they have ended up, and if they will return before we make our move.”
A cold glare shined through Galvatron’s eyes as he thought of this, something that he and Dark Oak had in their concerns the most. All he said was “Wherever they are, they’re there with no way back to be seen. For all we know, or anyone for that matter, they may never return.” He then started to have a low chuckle, which evolved into a demonic laugh shared with Dark Oak. The two laughed harder and harder as others started to follow, and then started preparations for a new attack to take place.
