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

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

"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. All units available after the fifty-two car pileup, please respond immediately=
"You heard Swan. Deploy!" the chief ordered to the 6 humans.
"Hai!"

"Hai here you go." Yamato smiled as he handed a paper to a man. The paper has a well done drawing of the Kings Credential and Lost Item written along the top. It also has Yamato's contact information along the bottom.
"Here you go," Flash in his hoodie was handing out the paper to some school girls as they all giggled and went went off.
"Here ya go!" Amu smiled, handing one out. After the woman walked away, Amu sighed as she sat down. "This is so boring...when you suggested we go find the Kings Credential...I thought it be some exciting adventure in the human world. I'd even rather go shopping with Roll…" she pouted in boredom, "Plus the people we give the papers to keep throwing them away...that's just rude, I tell you."
"HEY! YOU...Take this paper...don't you run from me human!" Leo shouted, chasing a scared businessman. "Don't you run! Hey, tell me if you seen this Cube!" he shouted tackling him down some stairs, causing the papers in his hand to fly into the air and scatter around the mall.
"Speaking of, where is she?" Flash asked.
"She found a place available for the cafe idea," Tusk replied, "It seems like this mall has a high human traffic...plus, it will be an extra source of income...and we have Leo...so," he muttered, motioning to Leo as he was chasing more businessmen.
"Come back here, you wimps!" he shouted. "Leo needs to know what you know!" he roared, tackling into one of the more portly businessmen. "Tell me where the cube is!?"
"Shouldn't' we worry about lawsuits…" Amu muttered.
"Nope." Tusk replied as Leo reverted to his Mobian Form, scaring the poor businessmen even more.
"Hai…" Yamato and Flash muttered.
"Right...anyway, let's leave Leo to his devices." Tusk stated.
"Hey...oh pretty girl...hey...I'm Leo! What's your name!?"
"KYA!"
*SMACK!*
"Wait...Kya! You didn't talk to me!"
"Sela!" Flash shouted.
"Leo!" Sela shouted, dropkicking Leo and sending him flying into a water fountain.
"Heh heh….look. Stars…" Leo laughed in a dizzy manner, his eyes replaced with swirls.
"Anyway, ignoring that from now on." Tusk said, "While I'm not optimistic, I think Roll's idea will work for us. That and it'll make her happy...everyone knows Happy Roll...happy everyone else."
"Hai, plus it'll be more fun this way. And I'm bored again…" Amu complained. "Ne Tusk...do my work for me."
"No."
"Please!"
"No…"
"P~lease!"
"Do your own damn work, Amu!" Tusk shouted.
"But it's so boring...I want to go have fun with Yamato." Amu complained, still pouting.
"Wait...why am I involved now?" Yamato asked, blinking in confusion as he handed out more papers.
"Come on, Tusky...please~~~?" Amu begged as she gave him the puppy dog eyes.
"...Don't you dare quiver your l-" Tusk began with a frown before Amu's lip began to quiver, "Damn it…" he groaned.
"Stay strong, Tusk…" Flash cheered for him.
"Ugh...I'd sooner yank out my own namesake then do your work again...we're not in school anymore." Tusk groaned, avoiding looking at her face.
"Pwease~~~?"
"...Damn it, she added the baby talk…"
"Tusk...don't worry...I can take care of it." Yamato offered.
"No, you have to come with me!" Amu stated.
"Why?" both males asked.
"Yamato has money...Tusk is flat broke and useless here." Amu pointed out.
"So are you," Tusk frowned, "We gave all our Rings to Roll to get that place."
"Yeah, but Yamato-kun has Earth money." Amu argued. "That and he's much better looking."
"Wait…" Flash blinked. "You want Yamato to go with you...cause he's handsome...why?"
"A girl has her reasons," Amu giggled.
"...I...ugh…" Tusk groaned, slapping his face. "Know what…? We can manage… Yamato, go with her...keep her from stealing cute clothes and cake from stores." he looked to his fellow confused male.
"Are you sure?"
"Sela can make Leo focus." he stated.
"If you don't hand out those papers right, I'm making you eat fist for a week!" Sela shouted.
"Yamato, Flash save Leo!" Leo cried. "I'm sorry...please no more knuckle sandwiches!"
"I'll...I'll just trust you. Plus, I'll take the chance to go check on Roll-san." Yamato offered before Amu looped her arms around his before she dragged him off. "EH!?"
"...He's doomed, you know," Sela noted, dragging Leo over by his ear.
"It's Amu...she's more mature than we think...or at least we all hope." Tusk muttered.
"I…shall be the best man…" Leo spoke up. "When...Amu eventually drags him home to do that."
"Shut up," Sela tugged his ear.
"I'm going to see Roll so I'll be off, mina..."Flash told as he then went off.
"Well, soon Flash won't be the only hybrid ya know." Leo told as his ear was pulled again.
"Shut up," Both Mobians said.
In space, the Deathgaliens' bow-themed ship floated around the planets moon. It's occupants were all gathered in the Owner's throne room. Ginis sipped down his whine again as his three commanders...well two commanders and his secretary.
"So...what's new for today?" Ginis asked.
"Owner! I demand another turn!" Azald spoke up.
"Azald...you already sent a player; it's Quval's turn." Naria spoke up calmly.
"I don't mind it." Quval spoke calmly. "If anything, this will give me more time to study these Zyuohgers."
"Well...alright then. Azald, go ahead and take another turn." Ginis said.
"Great! I got just the player for this...Bowguns!" he shouted loudly.
At that, the doors slid open as an alien with a body made up of black and green armor walked in. Golden accents decorated his jester-like feet as a jacket colored in black and green with purple accents covered his body with several small tassels along the back. Its head...was huge and oval shaped. It was mostly white in color, save for the golden accents making a 'mouth,' and the large purple indents with green gems acting as eyes. Each eye also had a crosshair like pattern for pupils. It also had a horn at the top of its head and two fin along the side of its white oval shaped giant head. And true to the name Azald called it by, the alien was carrying a purple bowgun weapon in his hands.
"Greetings! Bowguns is gonna hit the bullseye!" the alien greeted with a bow.
"Ooh… What's this one do?" Ginis asked.
"He shoots really fast arrows, no species alive has been able to see his shot coming." Azald explained.
"This should be entertaining. Launch immediately." Ginis ordered.
"Hai, de gansu!" Bowguns saluted as he stepped on the teleporter and left.
"Naria...get back to hacking Earth television. I want to see what entertainment this world has before we kill it." Ginis ordered.
"Hai."
"I still find it odd he ends up loving some worlds programmings...but kills them anyway. Bringing more boredom." Quval muttered.
"Because I find them entertaining."
"Ginis-sama, I found one program you may enjoy. It is called 'Wrestling'. In it two men enter a boxed arena and fight one another with various complex rules." She exlained.
"Play it." Ginis ordered. "I swear if no one really dies, I'm blowing up this world worse."
"Sonic...why are we hanging out here in the middle of the city?" Tails asked as they were sitting on a building edge.
"'Cause the giant TV on that building shows a fun program where two humans beat each other up." Sonic explained, pointing at a dome shaped building. "This world has some weird but awesome entertainment."
"So...we're just gonna sit here and wait for that giant screen to give us entertainment?" Tails asked out of interest and confusion.
"Well, we could watch it on the TV at Yamato's and Flash's, but his Uncle is there and walking around like a Walrus." Sonic explained.
"That's...one explanation...but why do you like this so much?"
"It's just fun." Sonic explained. "You get to see people fight it out epically, and there is no danger...okay, there's some danger."
"Are humans stupid?" Tails asked.
"Leo fits in. …Let that make sense of it." Sonic countered calmly, "Go, Tiger head guy!"
"Wait...is that guy a Mobian like Flash?"
"No, he can't be…" Sonic muttered.
"But he has a tiger head." Tails countered. "Plus...what human is that strong?"
"..." Sonic was about to open his mouth.
"Don't say Yamato or Flash he is a hybrid Yamato isn't."
"Tiger Head guy." he said as they saw the fight on the screen. "How do humans get to be Eggman Robo sized?"
"I don't know...did he just throw him?!" Tails gawked seeing the Man with the Tiger Mask toss the giant man out of the ring and into a metal pole. "This is the greatest human thing of all time what's it called?"
"Wrestling."
"Wow we have alot in common with humans in terms of sports." Tails noted.
"So how's that thing Tusk asked you about?"
"The Disguises not good."
"Why?" Sonic asked curious.
"Sonic these things are much more complicated then chaos emeralds they'll work with anything for anyone, these cubes…"
"Let me guess if we're not Sela, Leo or Yamato…"
"Yep ain't gonna work, i would need a cube unbonded to anyone or at best i can make a temp replacement changer for Flash, Yamato and the guys." he said, "This is actually fun, I mean I thought I have problem fixing caliburn but i can do that in my sleep its like its in my blood or something."
"Yeah, but how are we gonna convince Yamato's and Flash's uncle about us? We can't keep getting lucky forever."
"The guy loves dressing up as animals, right and He knows about Flash animal parts right?" Tails asked.
"Yeah from what I hear. Wh….ohhh." Sonic nodded, getting the idea. "Will it work?"
"As long as everyone plays along. If Tusk wants what he asked, I'll need a King Credential that isn't bonded or activated like the others are."
"Which there is only one of...and it's kind of missing." Sonic pointed out.
"Yeah," Tails frowned.
"This is a tough one. Where could the thing have gone. I mean it's a shiny crystal cube. It's not like someone just picked it up and walked away with it...right?" Sonic asked...making Tails slap his forehead.
"...You guys never considered 'What if the guy who gave Yamato and Flash hace never left the sight,' did you?"
"So...what? We find Bird-man and get the cube from him?" Sonic countered.
"Sonic, we tend to take back Chaos Emerald day after day from even good friends…" Tails reminded, "It's how we've met most of them. I'm calling them." he muttered before seeing another match, "After this fight."
"Whoo!" Sonic cheered, happy at the prospect of more enjoyable violence.
"Amu...this is the clothing store on the clear otherside of the mall." Yamato spoke calmly holding six bags of clothing as Amu walked around in what he just called a pallet swap of her normal clothing.
"Oh...right right...we we're gonna check on Roll-chan...silly me. I forgot." she smiled, tapping her head while sticking her tounge out in a cute manner. "Just six more bags."
"You said that at the last store…" Yamato pointed out.
"Well...we wouldn't be in this one if you hadn't tried talking me out of it, now wouldn't we?" she countered with a smile. She then looked over to the woman at the cashier. "Ah, I'm gonna wear this out. Don't worry, he'll take care of it." she smiled, patting Yamato's arm.
"Eh…" Yamato blinked.
"Hai." the woman smiled as she pressed on the machine, making the numbers pop up. "That'll be 800,000 Yen."
"Ehehe…." Yamato muttered. "800,000 yen…"
"Oh wait! These too!" Amu smiled as she put in a few more stacks of clothes in varying shades of pink and white.
"Oh, one moment. 990,000 yen." the woman corrected.
"Uh…" Yamato groaned, falling over, "Sayonara...my money…"
"Yamato, are you okay?"
"Fine...just...I get the feeling this is what it's like to...know what? Not finishing that thought." he sighed, standing up and pulling out his wallet and handing his credit card to the woman. His eyes visibly began crying as she swiped it and he was forced to accept the charges.
"Oh, come on. I'm not so bad...Roll-chan already blew all her money for the cafe." Amu giggled.
"How do you…"
"...You were right." Yamato blinked at the cafe...or at least the lot that would eventually become one.
"Roll-chan is very useful in business things. Trust me. I've used her skills to my advantage many a times." Amu smiled.
"Amu-san...What kind of person are you?" Yamato asked.
"A very cheeky one," both jumped and turned to see Roll and Flash in his hoodie behind them, "I still don't have everything for the cafe, but thanks to Flash for helping me find a well place I got one of the optimal places for not only attracting customers, but a decent spot to any exits in case of a fire, quick access to the bathroom, and managed to get this for half of what they were selling it for."
"I helped her find this place a while ago, it's no problem actually, I can help in this cafe, I know a lot of dishes and can help in finding supplies or taking care of any pervert,"Flash told
"Arigatou na Flash-san"
"Told ya." Amu smiled.
"Oh, and congrats, Amu. You are going to be one of the maids," Roll informed.
"I am already settled for living with Yamato. Sela-chan will be glad to take it and be your man pervert barrier." Amu said, hugging Yamato's arm. Flash simply took his phone out and secretly took there photo before they could see.
"No...please take her off my hands." Yamato said quickly.
"I am cashing in that favor you owe me for the incident with Leo and the shampoo," Roll stated, making Amu freeze.
"Shimata…" she cursed, "Darn it...why do you have to do that, Roll-chan…? I was having a happy day buying things with Yamato-kun… Why…? You're so mean…" she complained like a little girl.
"Why does she keep doing 360s?" Yamato muttered to Flash who was simply watching this.
"That's just Amu-chan being Amu-chan," Roll shrugged, "And as for why? What you did last week to my strawberry parfait."
"...I told you I was sleepy."
"Wait, What did she did,"Flash asked her.
Roll gave him a look saying 'Noting great' as he got the message.
"...I'm gonna step out...silently...quietly…" Yamato said before blurring off.
"...I'm telling your mother you're blocking me," Amu pouted as she looked for a cosplay that she liked.
"Amu-chan, the store opens next week," Roll informed, raising a brow.
"I'll wear what I want!" she pouted in anger.
"Why did it turn in to a K-drama which I watch." Flash muttered.
"...hmm... That human in the tiger mask so promise." Ginis said. "I will admit...I wish he snapped the head off that tall bulky human...but I will say it. I'm entertained. Bring up that fight with that Yellow Devil character...I like him...He has a nice style."
"See? I told you brains wins over stupid brawns, " Quval told Azald, who paid him in space money.
"Man!" he complained slamming his blocky fist on the bar. "Curse you Tiger Mask!"
"Naria, hurry up ple…" Ginis started before the screen fitz and a brown and black-furred humanoid lynx was seen.
"..."
"..."
"So this is a thing…" Quval spoke.
=...umm...Good Evening?= Nicole waved.
"Naria...what is that?" Ginis asked.
"Ginis-sama...we are being hacked."
"Oh...so…"
"Yes, that is bad." Naria spoke.
"Oh...so...can I like not watch the Yellow Devil fight?" he asked.
"In a moment."
=... I'll be taking my leave = she said as she vanished and the screen showed the yellow devil slashing a man's throat with his sharp fingers.
"Okay, all is good." Ginis spoke calmly. "Azald...Quval, money on who wins?"
"Yellow Devil all the way!" Azald shouted.
"Ginis-sama...I'm going to do some tasks." Naria explained.
"Quval...translation?" Ginis asked.
"She's gonna kill the Earth creature that hacked us...possibly brutally." Quval explained.
"Azald, I'm borrowing your Player for a side mission," she said.
"Oi, Naria…"
"I'm borrowing." she said, glaring at him.
"Yes, Naria-sama...go ahead, Naria-sama." he bowed his head. "One day...I'm gonna enjoy hitting her."
"What was that?!"
"Nothing!" he shouted loudly as he backed away.
"I think even Azald is smart enough to know when to back down." Quval spoke.
"And slammed headfirst into the mat!" Ginis chuckled happily. "Oh look...the men in white are dragging the poor human away. I like this Yellow Devil human...Quval, hit loop."
"I believe I have made an error," Nicole noted.
"Eh? Wh….why?" Haseo asked, poking up from his makeshift bed.
"I...think I may have contacted the people behind the recent attacks on the city," Nicole sheepishly admitted, making Haseo nervously gulp."...We will be taking our leave of each other's company from here."
"E-eh?!" Haseo exclaimed at that, "D-demo, didn't you promise Kaa-san you'd look after me?!" his ears drooped a bit as he looked down.
"I am by ensuring your safety." she explained. "As it stands, the odds of survival with me have dropped drastically. The only way to increase those odds back to a number suitable for your survival is to be separated from me. I know of the consequences otherwise, but I suppose the term is, 'the lesser of two evils.'" she stated, "I am at an optimal efficiency that I believe I can contact someone of our world. Please wait."
-linebreak-
"...Oh sorry." Leo said as all the Zyuoh Changers rang. "Hello! This is Leo!" he said answering.
=Good evening, Sir Leo=
"Nicole?" Leo blinked. "NICOLE!" he roared in realisation.
*WHAM*
"IS HASEO-CHAN WITH YOU?!" Roll asked with the changer in her hands, Leo under her feet.
"I smell pain…" Leo groaned. "And sugar…honey, honey..."
"..." Yamato gently lifted the frantic Roll off Leo as Flash helped his friend up, "Daijobu?"
"Yamato...am I still pretty?" he asked, covering his bleeding nose.
"You're still the same old Leo." he smiled, patting his back. "...I wouldn't ask for a better wingman."
"Same, your fun to hang out with." Flash told patting him aswell.
"Yamato, Flash!" he cried hugging them both. "You're two are the best persons slash mobian friends , I know!"
"Hey…" the other Mobians all complained, minus Roll.
=Miss Roll, drop your heartrate to healthy levels or put on someone more calmer than you. In your current mood, you will be irrational in your responses=
"Where is Haseo-chan?! Is he okay? He better not have one bit of fur misaligned or I am going to find a way to load this annoying internet song Tails-chan found into you!"
"Roll." Flash said, holding out his hand, "Please, let me." he said in a tone that suggested 'no' wasn't an answer...Given the red aura of anger that formed, Yamato was surprised seeing this happened, Flash never gets that angry.
Roll whined a little, her ears drooping, as she handed it to Flash, "Please make sure my baby brother is okay, please?"
"I promise. I'll take care of everything."
=Who am I addressing at this moment? Do not let it be Roll trying to disguise her voice again=
"Ano... Flash the Hybrid." he explained. "Don't worry. I will try and keep this between you and me for now." he said before looking at the others, "Yamato make sure if any of them give her there changer to listen in...you're sleeping in the forest without a tent." he threatened to the others as Yamato nodded.
=How are you, Hybrid Flash? I was enjoying this 'cultural shock' of your world or may be your world. You come from a lovely place. I find it 98 percent similar to Mobius=
"Yes the parallels are obvious. But we can talk about this after you tell me what's wrong. Your tone earlier suggests something is going on." he explained.
=It would appear I will be terminated soon. Please have Tails track my nanite signal and retrieve Haseo=
"Terminate...nani?" Flash asked
"HASEO-CHAN'S IN DANGER?!" Roll freaked.
"Roll, calm down." Yamato frowned. "Now is not the time to panic…" he said with a serious look.
"...I love a man who takes charge…" Amu blushed as her tail made a heart symbol.
"...women." Tusk groaned.
=I have no idea. It is why you should have Tails track my signal now. If I had any ideas where I was, I would've made attempts to reunite with you all… Please put Tails on the assignment=
"I'm afraid I can't do that. To accept that request would mean I left you to die..." he spoke calmly, "No matter what...I will never let that happen."
=I am not alive. I am a machine = she said, =Haseo's life is more important as he is real...Now please be quick. The Deathgaleins will be looking for me=
"Don't Even think about that!" Flash yelled surprising the others and even Nichole.,"You think if your a machine that will change my opinion on who to save. You think other will throw you away and use you like a mindless robot, That's bullshit!" He yelled,"If your not alive then why the heck are you even worried for haseo, as a machine you will just have kept him quiet, but instead you called us for help. You care for him as any one else, so tell me, were you program to do that and just fallow," He asked.
"..." The other line was silent for a moment.
"She called herself a machine again, didn't she?" Roll whispered to Tusk, who shrugged.
"It would explain why Flash is saying that. And I think Yamato will do the same." Tusk explained, "Those two care about everyone...I'm sure to both, her life is as important to them as Haseo's is. Meaning there gonna save both of them at the same time."
=You still will require Tails to track me...Haseo, would you please enter that locker? Mister Flash, if you wish to be a man of your word, I implore you; track us down quickly= she said before hanging up after an explosion could be heard in the background.
"..." Roll was now hugging Flash's leg, tears in her eyes while she looked like she was a kicked puppy, "Please save my baby brother!"
"Don't worry...I promise I will." he replied. "Sela!" he shouted.
"Hai?"
"I need you to use your ears...see if you can hear an explosion." Flash ordered.
"Explosion?" she blinked before she closed her eyes and held a hand to her ear.
"Roll...can you make Leo be quiet, please?" Yamato asked her with a smile. "It'll make it easier for Sela-san."
*WHACK! BAM! SLAM*
"All yours, Sela-chan," Roll informed, sitting on Leo's half-buried body, keeping a hold of his tail before she whispered, "Say anything and cause me to lose my baby brother and I'll cut it off."
"..." Sela trying to listen to the explosion to see where they're coming from.The noises were cancelling her from hearing them."It's no use, I can't hear them."
Roll soon feel to the ground in despair as she was like having a panicked attack as amu and Yamato ran by her side." Is there any way to save him, please," she said desperately as tears were coming out of her eyes.
Flash saw her state and couldn't help but worry more.
A young Flash with his mobian trait wearing sleeping pajamas was sitting under a tree as it was raining and he was soaking wet. He was head down on his arms as the rain was falling on him.
"Flash... Flash!!"
Flash gritted his fist and then made his choice. He went to roll quickly,"Roll stand up." She looked at him as she did trying to stand up well. He suddenly put his hand on her head and closed his eyes, she was surprised and the others were confused of what his doing.
"Don't worry," Yamato told as the others looked at him,"He can find haseo by this."
Flash soon was standing in a dark void as he had his eyes shut. He soon start to feel a line as he opened his eyes in the void and saw a white and black line leading him to a direction. He opened his eyes in the real world soon,"Found him"
"Really where!" She demanded but he didn't answer in stead he ran to the other direction.
=FOX=
A orange light was on him and soon he was in his suite as he jumped on different buildings as he was going faster.
Roll only looked at his direction as she was gonna fallow but Yamato stopped her."Don't worry, He'll get your baby brother and Nichole back safe and sound."
"..." She didn't say anything but she was worried for her brother safety, but she must believe in flash to get him back." I just hope you're right."
"Hmhmhm…" Bowguns hummed as he aimed his crossbow and fired green arrows of solid light that blew up a wall, "This is so boring...nothing's moving fast enough to make this hard."
"Be silent and kill the hacker." Naria ordered as she was tapping away on a green holographic touchpad. "There." she pointed at a window on a second floor. "The signal for the hacker is coming from in there."
"Hai, de gansu." the alien sighed as he aimed and fired several energy arrows into the window, causing another explosion. His eyes began to focus like a sniper's scope as he peeked inside. "Nope."
"Now the signal is moving...impossible. They can't move that kind of equipment so quickly…" Naria muttered, "Unless...the hacker is the equipment."
"What's that mean, de Gansu?" the alien asked, scratching his egg-like head.
"It means, dead or alive, I'm taking it." Naria informed, "An organic super computer." she smiled. "I'm sure that would make for an excellent new PC for Ginis-sama."
"What does Ginis-sama even do on the internet?" Bowguns asked.
"...Better question; what can I do to you right now for even daring to ask me that?"
"Oh look! I see something moving, de gansu!" he said, shooting away.
"Please desist this unneeded violence!" Nicole shouted. "The chances of you actually hitting me are 50 percent! Your aiming is 35% unfocused and the rest is devoted to fear. You're shaking and it's messing with your aiming."
"Shut up, De gansu!" Bowguns shouted as he shot a rapid barrage at the walls, making multiple large holes, "Now I can see better, you stupid Earth animal!"
"I would be insulted if I was from Earth and if I was an animal." at that, a swarm of green numbers flew by them and out of one of the holes.
"Oh, and it's in my color." Naria said. "Now I almost want to keep it." she chuckled. "Bowguns, it is in the open. Reveal your true skills."
"Hai, de gansu!" he said as he got on a rood and aimed before he pulled the trigger. Before anyone could notice, things just began exploding, "There...and there! And There!" he shouted as buildings were blowing up left and right as he lead the stream of data where he wanted. "Got you, de gonsu!"
"HA!" a voice shouted as Bowguns was tackled off the roof by a Fire ball hitting him.
"What was that? Oh, don't tell me…" Naria groaned as she looked over the edge to see Zyuoh Fox slamming the Deathgalien Player into the pavement down below.
"Ah...it's the green alien lady." Fox blinked, looking back up. "But...we didn't kill the Deathgalien yet."
"Please don't kill me...Azald will kill me twice if you do…" Bowguns complained, "Also...ow, de gansu…"
=Inquiry... Flash the Hybrid voice recognition= the data stream noted.
"Nicole-san!" Fox said happily, "Yokatta...I made it in time."
"Get offa me…" Bowguns growled but Fox kicked him back.
"Is Haseo okay!?" Fox asked
=He is inside near the back of the building. I made sure to draw enemy attacks as far away as possible= Nicole explained before she reformed next to Fox.
Fox nodded as he did a hand gesture and his clone came he signaled him as the clone nodded and ran off to the direction.
"Zyuohgers…" Naria sighed as she was somehow already down on street level, her heels clicking against the road. "Oh...Your the fox hybrid…" she blinked, looking to him. "Anyway, why are you here?"
"To save the kid and her of course." Fox said as he took a defensive stance.
"So...you name your sentient Bio computers...cute." Naria spoke. "I'm surprised Earth has something so advanced, honestly. Your world is known for being rather backwater without the intervention of other beings. But a living computer made of nanites of all things?" she laughed. "What a one of a kind find! Ginis-sama will love this," she mused.
"...I don't suppose I could just apologize for accidentally hacking…?"
"No. I've decided to take you."
"Uhm...Bad touch…" Fox joked.
"Bowguns, take this Zyuohger out of my sight."
"Hai, Naria-sama!" Bowguns said getting up as he aimed his crossbow and began shooting.
Fox quickly start to dodge the arrows as one passed close to his helmet shades. He made two clones as they ran at the Deathgalien, He fired more arrows as one came from side and kicked it's head the other his stomach making him grunt back but he quickly got a chance and fired more arrows as it hit the clones making them disappear the other arrows cake at Fox but He quickly bent back as he dogged three more arrows coming at him and back flipped and doged the upcoming one from hitting him.
"You must be skilled Flash-san, His weapons can release arrows at the speed of light," Nicole explained, "Give me a moment a-" she tensed as she phased out a bit, "No...don't tell me I'm running low already…"
"Oh...Is the poor computer in need of a recharge?" Naria teased, walking forward.
"...This world is low on nanites...my current body will not be maintained…" she said, phasing in and out, "Power sources inadequate...solutions...zzz...rrtt..."
"Oh, poor thing...I do hate when my devices' batteries die while away from home." Naria taunted. "Don't worry, Ginis-sama will take good care of…" she started before a fox with black and white tails got between them, "Oh?"
"Kid?!" Fox yelled seeing the fox kid Infront of Nichole.
"Mmm…." Haseo whimpered a bit, a look on his face as he tried to be brave, "St….stay….away from her."
"Another one like the yellow," Naria blinked. "No matter, just another part of the Blood Game. Bowguns, deal with it!"
"Hai, de gansu!" he cheered, shooting.
"Ah!" Fox shouted as he pushed both Haseo and Nicole away, letting the energy arrows explode against him. "Gah!" he cried in pain as his suit was smoking soon diaper in a smoke showing it was the clone as the real one came from behind and fired lightning at them making them take back.
"Haseo was more important." Nicole pointed out logically, "Risking yourself for both insured your inju...zzzrt...ries."
"I...Iie," Haseo quickly shook his head , "I...I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for my sake, Nicole-san."
"But.." she was loosing power,
"Don't even think about it," she looked at Fox,"if you think that your nothing more then a computer, then your stupid to think that!" He told her in a angry toon."I ran hear not just for him but for you aswell,But you hear want to sacrifice your self thinking you can be replaced. Then your one stupid computer," he told her. "It doesn't matter what you are...you and Haseo are connected." Fox spoke as he gwent to them. "You both have a connection...that's all that matters. For those connections...I'll protect both of you." he explained.
"... Flash…" Nicole started before her lower half turn to nanites and not pulling back together. "Power at 6%..."
"...This is annoying, and Ginis-sama needs his wine poured…" Naria frowned.
"Naria, where's my wine…?"
"She went down to get you a new toy, Ginis-sama." Quval reminded.
"But...then...what about my wine…? Where does my wine come from if Naria's not here?" he asked.
"I don't know, the bar?" Quval countered.
"Ugh...I guess I'll have to move. I better get my new toy." Ginis sighed, moving to the bar. "I never pick my wine myself…" he paused. "Naria...please come back soon...Why are there so many different flavors?! Wine is wine."
"I will be taking the toy." Naria said, "I can't keep Ginis-sama waiting."
"So...Your his wife…?" Fox asked.
"That...would be too great an honor…" Naria froze.
"...Umm, Naria-sama?"
"What?"
"They're running." Bowguns said as Fox was running on building, his clones were holding Haseo, and Nicole, the twin-tailed fox holding the rest of Nicole's nanites.
"Why didn't you shoot them down?"
"Well…?" the alien began "I didn't want to break Ginis-sama's toy."
"...You are forgiven for thinking about him. I'll be back in 5 minutes. I need to select Ginis-sama wine."
"This one." Azald said, pointing at a barrel of wine.
"No, it's this one," Quval pointed at another.
"I said it's this one! So it's this one!" Azal snapped, punching the barrel. "Oops…"
"Great work, Azald…" Quval spoke in a long drawn out sarcastic tone.
"Now it's all over...Do I...lick it off the floor?" Ginis pondered as green coins dropped in and Naria appeared.
"Ginis-sama, wine time." she said, holding a bottle.
"Oh thank me." Ginis sighed in relief.
"Azald did it." Quval pointed at the alien, who was currently using a straw to drink up the mess he made.
"I have good news for you, Ginis-sama." Naria said, "Our hacker was a living computer."
"Oh, they have those here?" Ginis asked, sitting in his throne. "I have wanted one for so long since I blew up that one world that was filled with them."
"She claims to be from another world, and not native to this, so we have our next blood game." she smiled, "Oh, and before I forget, she's made up of nanites as well."
"Oh wonderful...I hope their screams are just as good as this world's." Ginis smiled, drinking his wine.
"Azald, stop drinking the mess!" Quval shouted.
"But...URP! It will go to waste!" Azald burped, "Never let wine go to waste! That rule one, you multiple Quval you!"
"Ginis-sama, I would also like to mention for some reason the game is treating her like...a person." Naria chuckled at the idea.
"Oh...what a novel idea. Treating a Bio Computer like a normal life form...ahahaha...That'd be like not treating a Blood Game like a sport." Ginis laughed. "Get me this computer, Naria."
"Only if you promise not to break it."
"I'll break it and fix it." he replied. "I mean if it can hack my ship, it must be one of a kind, of course I want to take it apart so much so I know how it's made. It's in my nature."
"Then I will not rest till you have it."
"Azald! That's not Wine! That's my foot!" Quval shouted kicking the blocky blue alien.
"So chewy~"
"Nasty!" Quval complained as he kicked the alien even more.
"Oh Nicole…" Tails said, examining the holo lynx.
"She's in bad shape…" Tusk muttered. "What do we do...there's no method of replenishing her the normal way here on Earth...is there?"
"No. Her nanites were keyed to her...in fact without her, our town is probably not even giving people baths or dishwashers aren't even working."
"Oh mom's gonna be piss." Tusk groaned. "Then...what can we do? ...Going home isn't an option."
=Inquiry why?= Nicole asked.
"Nicole, don't worry about it...just focus on saving power." Tails said as her arm fell off, "...I'll fix that."
"To think this is probably less stressful then Roll and Haseo reuniting." Tusk muttered.
"I'm gonna be safer in this big shoe box!" Leo shouted from inside one of Tails's lockers.
"...Leo get out! That…"
*BOOM!*
"...was a bomb made to look like a locker…" Tails groaned.
"Wohooo…" a charred Leo muttered in shock and awe.
"...What else is a bomb in here?" Tusk asked being careful.
"...It'd be easier to tell you what isn't…"
"...Nope. Still better then Roll and Haseo." Tusk shook his head.
"Hey! An apple!" Leo called out.
*BOOM*
"I know what you're gonna say...but it wasn't the apple...it was the chair." Tails stated.
=Inquisition: Tails, are you some kind of bomb fanatic?= Nicole asked jokingly.
"No…"
*BOOM*
"Maybe...maybe."
"Leo still got his apple!"
*BOOM*
"...That was not the apple; that was the seeds inside the apple."
"...We're taking away your bomb stuff," Tusk and Nicole said in unison.
"Leo has applesauce…No, mommy, Leo's sauce, not yours..."
"No one is taking away my bombs. You're not my parents!" he said
"..." Tusk gave him a look that said 'Really, that's your argument?'.
"And you're not even living with me, besides…. Are you complaining…?" he asked, pointing to Leo.
"Nom." Leo said, chomping on Tails's...tails.
"...just be thankful I tested painkillers I made."
"Why would you make painkill…?" Tusk started before pointing at him and Leo and then the zyuoh Changers. "...fair."
"It's nice to meet you again, Haseo-kun," Yamato greeted as Roll kept cuddling her younger sibling.
"H...hai. S-same here, Yamato-san," Haseo nodded before looking out the window, his ears drooping a bit, "Nicole-san…"
"Daijobu Tails will take care of her," he said.
"..But..she used a lot of power to keep me warm...and acted like a bed for me…"
"How long were you guys there?" Yamato asked.
"...Eto….a….a few days, I think…." Haseo replied.
"Why did the Deathgalleins attack you?"
"Nicole-san hacked the...inter..net...and she said she went into space to look for anything non-Sonic chase news related."
"..." Sonic whistled innocently as Roll leveled a glare at him.
"And try to find everyone and she accidently entered the green lady's ship," Haseo finished before his ears drooped further, "Sh...she told me to hide while she tried to lead them away…I….I feel like this is my fault..."
"Oh, there-there," Roll comforted, "It's not your fault at all. While I nearly had a heart attack from you getting between that green lady and Nicole-chan, I think you were very brave because you stood to protect someone you love." she held him a bit tighter, "You're not to blame, only those aliens are."
"Ahh, we'll protect you and Nicole-san." Yamato smiled, petting the young twin-tailed fox on the head.
"...A….arigatou, Onee-chan...Yamato-san…" Haseo smiled a bit, his ears perking up a bit.
"Tadaima.." They looked and saw Flash entering the house."I brought you some strawberry and blueberry cake for you." He came in as he put them down. But soon was tackled in a hug by Roll as he managed to kept his composure."Wow" he looked at her.
"Arigatou Flash-san, I can't thank you enough for saving my little brother today." She said in happy toon to flash.He smiled as his tail gave her a pat on the head.
"It was no problem, I did what I had to do.If you want to make it up to me. Can you make a delicious meal today," Flash asked.
"Hi! By the sakurai code I will make the best meal for you and all." Roll declared dramatically.
Flash went to the Young fox then as haseo saw him, He some how sense he could trust him.
"Yo, How are you na young hero." Flash greeted.
"Hero?" Haseo pointed at him self confused.
"Yeah you saved the Lynx girl na"
Haseo shook his head,"No, You were the one who saved us,"
"That may be true, But when I was fighting the Deathgallein you ran for her protection,"Flash grabbed his hands and made them fists,"Even thought you were scared, even thought you were gonna die, you still went to protect her. That's a hero in my book na." Flash told as he put his fist on his his chest.
Haseo looked at Flash and for some reason he saw someone else in his place.
"So as for your bravery and saving the lynx girl," Flash tail grabbed the cake box."Hear a complementary cake na" He opened the box and gave the strawberry cake to him.
Haseo took it,"Arigatou, Um... Can I have a request," He asked.
"What kind of request?" Roll asked her little brother.
"Well..." He played with his tails as he was being shy.
"Come on Haseo-chan say it." Yamato told.
"Well.. Can I call you Flash onni-chan?," He finally asked
"..."
"..."
"..."
The others were baffled hearing the child fox request.
"Ano, Why?" Flash finally asked
Haseo was quite for a moment,"Well, you look like nii-san also a human. Also when I'm with you, I feel like I'm safe."
Flash hear the young fox explanation as he understood he was scared but he felt ok when he was around. He looked at roll who was still in surprise expression but soon shook it off and then gave flash a nod." Ok you can call me that." He told
"Arigatou!" Haseo excitedly hugged flash surprising him. But he took it. The two saw the interaction and couldn't help but smile.
"Hah, Didn't know you'll find your long lost family member hear." Sonic said as he entered the conversation for feeling left out.
"We still don't know that, but we will still accept him no less." Roll told."But I want to ask what did you use to find haseo."
Flash let go of haseo and looked at her,"well the trick I used is known as spirit bond."
"Spirit Bond?" Sonic and Roll asked confused.
"See it is of a bond which one shares with another, when I use the technique feon before it helps me see the bond line of one person to find them. The stronger the bond the bigger the line.But I can only use it once a week. I'm still learning to control it so it will take time before I could use it often." He explained
"Sugoi~!"Roll and Haseo said in together with star in there eyes.
"Cool," sonic said,"But wait can't you find your parents with this technique."
"Well, No. You see eve if I try I still can't. I have no bind of them and not knowing who they even are, so I can't then." He explained sadly.
"Man it sucks then that you can't even use it for this one purpose." Sonic said feeling sympathy for him. He knows his family is still ok. But Flash doesn't know his, not even a memory of what they look like.
"But I won't feel down na." He spoke up,"Beside this isn't about me, it's about haseo and Nichole being safe right." He changed the topic not to feel the attention.Yamato understood what he was applying.
"Now we just need to think of how to keep her safe and sound," Roll frowned, "...Do you think Tails-chan could make her a robotic body as a temporary thing?"
"...M….maybe….or…" Haseo thought for a moment before he gasped, his twin tails shooting straight up, "M-matte! I just remembered something!"
"What is it?" Sonic and Flash asked.
"Hm? ...Oh!" Roll reached into her cleavage and pulled out a bulky handheld device, "Kaa-chan told me to hold onto it." she blinked twice when she saw Yamato, Flash and Sonic looking away, "Eh?"
"Why does she and her mom have to keep stuff in those places…?" Sonic mumbled, his cheeks red.
"...Eh?" Roll and Haseo tilted their heads.
"..." Yamato then cough and looked at them. "Umm before you do may I ask why it wasn't on Tails's person or something?" Yamato asked.
"Hmm...not really sure…"
"You don't think that it's weird that Tails, someone who knows how to at least fix Nicole, would have that himself?" Flash asked making them blink. "Gomen, I'm sure you are trustworthy..but how long as it been since Nicole used it?"
"Never since she became the city." Sonic answered.
"...How fast can Tails upgrade it?"
"Minna…" Flash asked, "Why are we making decisions for nicole?" he asked, "Roll, i know you were worried about Haseo, but you never once showed concern about Nicole equally that a bit mean you know." Yamato then looked at Haseo, "And, Haseo don't tell Nicole you blame yourself. She did her best to protect you. I'd think she be hurt if you said that."
"..." Roll's ears drooped, "Hai…It's just..."
"I understand. I have family too." Yamato said, "But you didn't even give Nicole a thank you."
"When it comes to Haseo, Roll and Aphrodite tend to just go blank to everything else," Sonic shrugged.
"Boys are very rare in the family and we often treat them as priority one in protecting," Roll explained.
"..." Sonic then silenced at Yamato's aura. Flash had only a look of 'I understand but I still feel disappointed in you.'
"Minna, I get your customs are...different, but your friends are important, too. Nicole burned her life out to make Haseo comfortable," Yamato reminded, making Roll's ears droop lower, "You have good reasons, and odd but interesting customs; but if you care for one thing and not your friends just as much, how can they treat you with the same love?"
"?!" Roll's eyes widened, "Ah! Oh! Y-You're completely right!"
"Ad you brought in 'love' around a Sakurai," Sonic facepalmed
"Sonic..." Flash said, "Swimming lessons."
"NEVEH!" Sonic screamed before blurring off.
"I don't care about your customs. They're important to you, but don't let them make you act less or more important than someone else. Nicole tried very hard and I didn't hear anyone give her a 'thank you.'" Flash said, walking off, "For now, we'll give you two your space."
Once Yamato and Flash left, Roll looked down at Haseo, "When we go give Tails-chan this, I am making sure Nicole-chan knows how much I appreciated her protecting you." she frowned, "I can't believe I forgot to give her a 'thank you,' too..."
"...Hello Sela, Amu. You both seem fairly lovely." Nicole greeted.
"How could you tell it was us?"
"Your heartbeats and voices. Can't fool me." she smiled, "I was unaware you all had shapeshifting powers."
"Wow! Nicole-chan, you're always amazing." Amu cheered. "Ne, what else can you sense? Oh! Can you tell if Yamato's heart goes Doki-doki when I'm around?"
"What about me?" Yamato asked.
"His heart rate is calm. He appears to be relieve...heart rate rises as I talk."
"You can sense my vitals… That's a little embarrassing." Yamato admitted.
"What about Flash heart beat?" Leo asked
"Well, his is calm but still in worry for some reason." She told, the others look at him.
"Don't worry, I'm just worried for her a bit, I'll be fine" he reassured them but still had a doubt.
"I serve many functions back on Mobius. It's my duty to ensure the welfare of the people." she said, "If you require me to stop, please ask."
"No. It's fine, Nicole-san, but for now, while you're resting. Try and keep the amazing things to a minimum. Save your energy." Yamato smiled. "Please...it'll make everyone happy."
"But without the city, most of my functions are useless…"
"Well we'll put you back in your handheld that…"
"...I refuse." Nicole said.
"Whoa! Nicole angry?" Tusk blinked shocked.
"Eh...why?" Yamato asked. "It could help you...is there a reason why you refuse to do it?" he asked calmly and out of worry.
"I politely refuse. I wish to enter rest mode now."
"Nicole-san…" Flash sighed.
"...this is gonna go back and forth for a while." Amu pointed out bluntly.
"Never seen Nicole angry before...kinda put my angry face to shame." Sela said.
"But you're always angry." Leo said; as Sela was about to hit him, Leo bit a cookie that blew up in his face and sent him flying through the roof.
"...I feel cheated out of my fun," Sela admitted.
"Mou...stop playing. We need to deal with Nicole." Amu reminded with a pout.
It was then a blur shot into the room and Amu was now holding a blinking Haseo, Tails had the handheld, and Roll was covering Nicole's cheeks with kisses and repeated 'thank yous.'
"Roll-chan's here." Amu said as she gently hoisted Haseo into Tusk's arms.
"...You're as confused as me, right?" Tusk asked the boy in his arms.
"...Please remove yourself...I am feeling irritable," Nicole said.
"Gomen," Roll apologized, letting her go, "I'm just really, really, really thankful you protected Haseo-chan for so long at the costs you gave and forgot to show my loving thanks."
"Hehe…" Flash chuckled. "The way you took my words so much to heart. It's really sweet, Roll-san."
"You guys kept this?" Tails asked, "I was asked to destroy the handheld." he blinked. "...Oh dang it. Aphrodite took my stuff again."
"You need a better password than 'Password' for your safe." Tusk pointed out.
"...I didn't make that password I ask Leo to…Leo!" Tails said, taking out his magic hands.
"It's the best password in the world!" Leo said as he grabbed the hands and began wrestling with them despite their being mechanic, "I will fight you on that!"
"Could you take it outside first?" Yamato asked.
"Kay!" Leo said, dragging Tails outside.
"Anyway...can someone explain to me the meaning behind this device?" Flash spoke up again as he held it up. "Or did Leo just Fox-nap the only person who can?"
"Oh, this is the real Nicole." Tusk explained.
"Eh?" Both spoke
"She wasn't always our entire homes." Sela added.
"...Yes…" Nicole nodded a bit, "I was created by Dr. Ellidy to map out and gather information within the digital space, able to set up and/or disable any form of security, and scan any computer. I was given to the princess of the Kingdom of Acorn, Princess Sally Alicia Acorn. I had been with her since she was a child, even after Robotnik had taken over most of Mobius...I have been a crucial member to the Freedom Fighters when Sonic, Sally, and a few others first formed it, helping to bypass Robotnok's security programs, map out the area for any of his robotic soldiers, and to help Sally with what she needed. As time went on, I eventually created myself a body using nanites, and...well, you've seen what I am able to do after seeing Mobotropolis for yourself."
"...wow...so Nicole been taking care of everyone for so long…" Yamato said amazed, "That's why you wanted to protect Haseo so much?"
"I still think of protecting as my primary programming...but in truth, I think of it and the word prison comes to mind…"
"Eh, prison?" Flash blinked.
"All my life in that handheld, I got to watch everyone laugh...cry...love...hug...smile…" she said, "All I could do was act like a machine...then I got my nanite body and all those emotions were finally accessible to me...but now you're all asking me to return to it…"
"Actually...I kind of get it." Flash spoke up, making everyone blink and look at him. "Finally...you're free out here...You get to be with others. You get to form bonds and connect with them. You don't want to lose that...nobody does."
"...Yes...I got this body by accident… If I lose these nanites who knows if I can return...or if I become unknown data...I won't give up this body…" she said, trembling.
"I said I kind of get it...this is a concept too surreal to me…" Flash spoke. "I just understand you're not wanting to lose the connections you've made. You have connected to so many people...Your life right now is happy. But...because of that, I think you should try everything to make sure you don't lose them forever. I know if I was like you, well still a little am...but I'd be more afraid of dying and leaving everyone I connected with sad." he spoke. "I won't force you, Nicole-san...but I want to just say one thing. When you've formed many strong bonds...your life is no longer just your own. You have to live it for everyone you're connected to." he explained as he gently took the device and set it down on a table nearby, "I don't want to lose you either, Nicole-san...I got the feeling I was finally starting to make friends with you, That we can understand one another."
"Thank you very much." Nicole smiled.
"Hmm." Tails pondered, "Everyone leave the room. I might have something, but I need no distractions."
"What happen to Le…"
"He stepped on one of my landmines."
"TAKE THIS!" Leo's voice roared as something hit Tails and exploded.
"..." Yamato then got his aura ready and stepped out.
"...Yamato-san is as scary as Kaa-san when she's mad when he's mad," Roll explained.
"He would make a great parent. Amu, that's not meant to be idea fuel!" Tusk stated loudly as he grabbed her by the ear.
"You don't throw bombs someone made for defense!" Yamato's voice snapped, "Especially when someone is trying to rest!"
"I'm sorry! Stop giving me that glare! It's scarier than Aphrodite!" Leo cried.
"We're gonna head home...Tails you okay?"
"I don't know how you guys do this all the time…" he said shaking it off. "Good thing that was my 'Scare People Away' bomb." he said, "I might have short term memory loss...I might have short term memory loss."
"You could just hang an angry picture of Yamato and get the same result." Sela joked.
"..." Yamato then came in, "Sela, you can sleep with Leo outside."
"Ah!?" she gawked in surprise at his being there.
"Hahaha…" Amu laughed.
"Home now everyone. Tails, call." Yamato said "Oh, and Roll? You're taking Sela as well no arguments."
"I was just going to ask her to help with the cafe before Nicole-chan contacted us," Roll replied, "Which reminds me...Nicole-chan, when you're nice and rested, I hope you can come to cafe to double check everything."
"Roll ask after she's better." Flash said calmly as his tail patted her head, "Home now come on."
"Hai, Yamato-san,Flash-san," Roll nodded, "Oh. Ano…" she whispered into Yamato's ear, "I'm not sure if there's enough space where I sleep for Haseo-chan."
"Haseo can have my bed." he said, "Haseo-kun, Nicole-san will be alright. Come with us."
"...O…okay..." Haseo nodded, giving Nicole one more concerned look as Flash picked him up and put him on his shoulder making him giggle.
"TadimaaaaaAAAAHHHHH!" Yamato freaked, seeing Sonic out in the open as he and Mario played limbo.
"Come on, man! Be the walrus, be the walrus."
"Be the walrus, be the walrus…" Mario grunted as he made it through the stick, "Yeah!"
'What is he doing?!' Roll thought, peeking out from behind Yamato.
Flash came in and saw the scene, He simply just looked at it and shrugged.
"Alrighty, m-" Sonic began before he noticed Yamato and Flash, "...Oh. Hey, Yamato, Flash."
"Ah!" Yamato freaked as he tackled Sonic into the kitchen with a loud cartoony crash sound coming from within.
"Sonic, where'd you go? It's your turn." Mario chuckled.
"Oji-san, Sonic and Yamato had something to talk about very important, they'll be right back." Amu said. Flash helping him stand properly. "Roll...go check on them!" she whispered while covering her mouth.
"Hello." Mario waved to Haseo who was behind Flash. "You're a cosplayer too?"
"...what?" everyone asked as Yamato and Sonic poked back in.
"One more time?" Yamato asked.
"Yeah. Sonic told me everything, his rich wife Roll loves cosplaying as certain animal and bought costume and Sonic and his friends tend to join in,..man, I'm so jealous. You all look so real." he said, pinching Haseo's cheeks gently. "Man this is real good work. You look so cute, kid!" he sighed, patting his head very gently. Haseo hid behind Flash still not in trust, Mario looked at Flash who had a look saying 'I'll explain later'. Mario accepted it.
"Thank you. Though, you are a bit misi…." Roll replied before Amu covered her mouth.
"Yes, that's right!" Amu agreed.
"Yes yes yes. They're so well made uncle they can even eat and sleep in it." Flash informed. "So don't be confuse or worry about them overheating or anything whatsoever!" Yamato agreed walking up to him.
"You kids have to promise you'll find one of those costumes for me. But other then that, welcome to our home!" he said happily. "Please make yourselves at home 'till you kids get all your affairs settled." he said, as he looked at Haseo, "You can have my bed tonight, young man."
"...A...ano...th-thank you…." Haseo replied with a small, shy nod.
"Don't worry boy. Sonic told me about your situation. Don't worry. Until you find your Kaa-san again, you'll be safe here in mine Flash and Yamato's home." he said, patting his head again while pushing his animal mask up. "I promise you that." he smiled as everyone swore they saw an old Yamato in Mario."Also please be friends with Flash," he requested
"Uncle, Don't worry they will." Flash told him. The others agreed aswell.
"...Wow... This family…" Tusk blinked.
"Now...who's up for dinner? Roll-chan, you and I will cook up a great big meal for everyone!" he cheered as his mask fell down again. "Ah...can't see…" he complained, trying to push it back up.
"Also I will like to cook, I promise Flash I will make the best dinner for him. He helped me find my baby brother from danger so as a thank you please let me." Roll asked
Mario pulled up his mask,"Oh he did. Well I can't say no to that, I'll help as well." The masks again fell down again.
"Sonic with me...outside." Yamato said, grabbing him by the quills.
"Look. I'm sorry for lying to your un…" Sonic started.
"That was a great idea!" he said happily while grabbing his shoulders, "Ah...you're much better at lying then I am...I owe you so much."
"Wow. Thanks, man…"
"No problem. I wish I thought of it sooner…"
"Honestly, I hate lying to the guy. He's so great! We were listening to music, watching comedies, he's a great uncle like my Uncle Chuck."
"Ah...Oji-san has been taking care of me and Flash for a long time. Honestly...I don't think I'd feel at home unless it was here.So does Flash,well he is the only one who is Family to him and me" Yamato admitted, "That's why I hated lying to him...but what can I do? I don't want him to worry about all the things related to the truth. I know he'd try and involve himself more in the dangerous things if he knew about you guys...and I think he'd have a panic attack if he learned about me and the well... transforming part. He had to get over the fact that Flash is a fox boy, but he won't sit well hearing this, he had once the tim-" he quickly shut him self up saying that.
Sonic looked at him hearing the last part with curiosity,"The time what?" He asked,"Let me guess, it has to do with Flash that time isn't it."
Yamato was quite giving him the answer he needed."I get it. It's your own secret I won't guess any further. Your secret's safe. But if he learn we were real, I'd think he'd freak out then hug us like plushies." he chuckled with Yamato.
"Don't worry, he'll eventually worm up." Yamato reassured.,"Where's Caliburn?"
"He's in timeout." he said, "...Hey. I gotta ask...have you see a necklace shaped like a guitar?"
"Necklace…?" Yamato blinked, "No… Can't say that I have."
"I must've lost it when we got sucked into this place… If you see it, let me know. It's a family heirloom."
"Don't worry. I'll keep a close eye out for it next time," Yamato nodded. Suddenly, he felt an itching sensation in his eyes, making him rub them.
"Everything okay?" Sonic asked.
"Hai...I just felt like I had something stuck in my eye. Guess I jinxed myself, hahaha." Yamato laughed.
"Welp. I'm hungry. Let's get chili dogs."
"You can eat that stuff?"
"Just try and make me eat something else." he smirked.
"Okay, you lost sight of the target and just went rampaging while I was gone?" Naria frowned.
"I'll find it! I promise in the name of Ginis-sama, de gansu!" Bowguns shouted in fear as he saluted to Naria.
"No, no. I'll find it; you go back to your game."
"What? Really?"
"Ginis-sama wants it now for sure. I can't allow you to screw it up." she explained, "And while I'm searching, your Blood Game will keep Ginis-sama entertained." she added. "And...please do try to keep him entertained. Or you'll become the target of my Blood Game." she threatened.
"Hai, de Gansu!" he shouted in fear saluting again and smacking himself in the face with his bowgun weapon. "Itai…"
"Why are Azald's players all such idiots?" Naria asked as she walked away. She pulled out the holopad as she began typing away. "Now...those color coded pests can't have moved to a different city...so somewhere within the limits of this Tokyo. But where?" she muttered as she pulled up a map of the city taken by the ship. "Hmm...hello? What's this?" she asked zooming in on one area. "A Blue blur running in between this location and this…" she muttered, zooming in. "Eh...just a tree...but what's this?"
"Hmm... Would you agree?" Tails asked.
"Yes. If I want to last at least six months, a red power ring would suffice.." Nicole said as Tails pulled out a power ring.
"And this…"
"At maximum of doing nothing...3 and half months." she said.
"Better than nothing." he said, hooking her handheld to a cord and putting the other end of the cord in her neck, "Are you ready?" he asked as the cube animals watched.
"Those cubes are cute." she smiled, petting eagle. "Are you all concerned for me?"
Cube Eagle cried out while flying up and circling around her. The rest all crying just the same and fidgeting around, clearly out of worry for Nicole.
"Okay, Nicole you might feel a slight tingle. I'd say bite on something, but I'm not a doctor." he said while hooking up the ring. "Three…" he said as Cube Lion roared, "Not you Chibi Leo."
"Chibi…"
"Leo wants us to call him that or Chibi Leo will tell on us." Tails explained as Cube Lion nudged his leg. "Hey...I called you it, didn't I?"
Cube Lion roared before he hopped up next to Nicole as it trying to remind Tails about her.
"Right...3...2….1…" he then slammed the power ring into Nicole as she let out a little yelp.
"Hmm?" Naria blinked at a massive energy spike. "Well...no normal machine uses that much energy at once, meaning it would be needed for something that requires a mass amount of energy...oh, you primitive life forms. You make this game oh so easy." she smiled. "Bowguns, wait a few hours to get back to work. I need you to make sure those Zyuohgers don't bother me"
"Yes ma'am."
"Hmm...interesting…" Ginis mused, seeing the energy readings Naria sent him. "This energy is truly something unexpected. I shall enjoy these games to come."
"Ginis-sama, Azald is still drunk!" Quval complained.
"Hehehehe...You're drunk!" he chuckled. "You...8 Qubuls...Qubels...Qu...qu...ah…" he groaned as he fell over, "Night night…"
"And there's your solution. Watch the game, Quval."
"..." Nicole then stretched her body as the cubes circled her in happiness.
"Well... looks like it worked." Tails noted as some of his fur was standing on end. "And only slight energy feedback...Nevermind. Pain pill wore off...ugh…" he groaned, falling over.
"I do not find that hilarious." Nicole noted as she help Tails up.
"Thanks Nicole… What's that…?" he asked, seeing a cube above her chest.
"Oh...It would appear a strange object got mixed into my body while I was fleeing from the Deathgelien known as Bowguns." she explained. "Strange...it feels as though more energy than anticipated has been produced." she explained as the cube was glowing.
"...I need to make a call. Ignoring pain."
"Zzzz...ZZZZZZ…...Gao!" Leo snored next to a wide awake and annoyed Sela.
'I will get back at him someway…' Sela thought with an eye twitch before she looked down, "Why is Haseo whimpering?"
Downstairs, a sleeping Haseo was whimpering as he was fussing in Mario's bed, trying to grab something. A teddy bear was held out and grabbed by Haseo before he snuggled with it, the whimpering ceasing. Roll sighed in relief, a pink teddy in her arms.
"Almost forgot that," Roll noted.
"Ah…" Mario yawned, walking past the room with noise canceling headphones on his head. "...oh, Roll-chan...is something wrong?" he asked, pulling the headphones off, "Oh do you need a pair of these? Leo-kun snores like a beast, don't he?"
"He does, but no thank you, Mario-san," Roll replied, "I just forgot to give Haseo-chan a teddy I bought for him. Neither of us can really sleep peacefully without something soft or warm to hug at night."
"Really?" He said while looking at him."Flash does that aswell. He couldn't sleep in nights and will always be in a funny mode in the morning because of that." He told her which surprised her again.
'We have so much in common, yet why can't we see were alike.' Roll thought.
"Morning mina," They turned and see Flash waking up in his sleeping pj's and was holding a big lynx plushie with him. Roll looked and snorted at that, He looked rather cute because of the look.
"Oh,Flash your up," Mario said,"I'm going out. Is there anything about your mother I should know if I spot her?" he asked as he grabbed a jacket from the hanger in his room closet.
"Hai. She dresses as a fox like Haseo-chan, but with a lighter shade of my coloring and likes to wear magenta clothing," Roll replied, "She loves to talk about love as well."
"Hai. What's her name?" he asked as he laid out a pick sign and took out a paint brush.
"Aphrodite Venus Sakurai," Roll replied.
"Ah, soka. What a fitting name. Like you said, she loves to talk about love. She reminds me of my nee-san." he smiled. "She was always so wise. She loved talking about how people are all connected." he mused. "I'll call if I run into her. Later." he said, taking the sign with Aphrodite's full name written on it, "Yamato, stop clinging to Amu."
"Eh..wha…" Yamato blinked, waking up to Amu clung to him. "AH!" he panicked.
"Ah...kids...I'm going to have to set up some ground rules. We have a kid in the house. Shame on you, Yamato."
"It wasn't me!" he shouted in defense.
"Wow Yamato, Didn't know you'll swing that way. Making a poor girl fall for you like that." Flash said dramatically
"Wait no it's not like that." Yamato tried to defend her self but amu kept her hold on him. Flash took out his phone and took a photo of them.
"We'll save this for later." He told roll who nodded with a sly smirk.
"Hai, hai. Leftovers in the fridge." he said, leaving. "Whose fake sword is being used as an axe?" he asked, leaving.
"Oh, that's where he is." Sonic blinked.
Once Mario was gone, Caliburn slid his plate down to reveal his scowl, "I am unamused, knave."
"But I am." Sonic smirked from the terrace on the treehouse. He took a sip of some water he got before the Zyuoh Changers beeped.
"Moshi moshi, who's interrupting cuddle time?" Amu asked, "...A cube?"
"Yeah, but it's too small to be a King Credential. It's even smaller than the cube mecha...no offense, guys." Tails apologized as the Cube animals were glaring at him while all standing on either Nicole's shoulders or her head. "Nicole, are you alright?"
"Yes, it seems to just be stuck, but I am detecting similar life signatures like the cute ones." she said, using her finger to scratch Cube Lion's chin.
"Uh...yeah... I think I need Tusk who knows more about this then me."
=Ah...mou okay...hold on...TUSK, PICK UP THE DAMN PHONE! IT'S FOR YOU!=
After a moment Tails heard the sound of a loud clunk and Tusk screaming in pain.
=PAON! OW MY EYE! AMU!=
"...yeah...Tusk? Tails. Think you guys have a new mecha..." Tails informed.
=You woke me up for that!? Couldn't this have waited 'till after breakfast?!=
"It's inside Nicole."
=Why didn't you wake me up sooner?!=
"There is no winning with this guy…" Tails complained.
=Paon= Cube Elephant nodded.
=Alright. I'm bringing everyone over=
"Why everyone?" Tails asked in annoyance.
=Is Nicole walking?=
"Yes."
=Then everyone. Who's the genius here…?=
"Touche my friend...touche." Tails admitted.
"I am insulted. I believe myself to be of equal intellect." Nicole said. "Also, you are not a genius here."
"Look, just hurry."
=You want hurry? Roll! Nicole's okay now!=
"What were you saying?"
"The highest intellect in this world stand at 600 and it belongs to a elderly gentleman known as Hongo Takeshi." she explained. "He is in his 60's, has multiple PHD's in almost all fields of science, and is a former motorcycle racing champion at the age of 19 after getting his first PHD. He lives primarily off of his Genius grants which give him great sums of money just for being the smartest man on Earth. He also had a butler at one point."
"I'm...I'm jealous." Tails muttered, he'd be lying if he said he never once dreamed of being rich just for being smart...oh and having a butler who does stuff for him. 'Man I want a butler...make me food whenever I want…'
"Don't be. You are still young. I am positive your IQ will raise…" Nicole then waved her hand, causing Roll and Sonic to be caught in a barrier, "Please mind the speed limits."
"Holy cow! Tusk wasn't lying...you're okay!" Sonic exclaimed in amazement as Roll snuck around the barrier and wrapped Nicole in a big hug.
"I am so happy you're better!" Roll beamed, "And thank you again for protecting Haseo-chan. AI or not, you are a Shield Sister to the Sakurai family now in my eyes."
"...Is this…"
"Yeah. A custom." Amu said.
"You guys are very Japanese...This country used to be all about customs and rules…" Yamato sighed as Amu was still hanging onto him tightly, her head resting on his shoulder as she snored lightly.
"...I am...honored?" Nicole shrugged
"So, What about Flash, He saved them from death," Tails asked.
"He, well haseo asked about calling him Onni-chan since for some reason he's calm when he's around." Roll explained
"Oh, That make sense since his half Fox," Tails said,"By the way where is he?"
"His at Home cooking breakfast for all of us and Haseo." Sonic said.Tusk looked at the cube above her chest.
"Hm…" Tusk muttered.
"Hm?" everyone repeated.
"..." Tusk somehow pulled a leather book out from his clothes. He flipped through it quickly before sighing and slapping it shut. "Nope...never heard of it." he shook his head. "This...this is something totally new to me. Or any of us." he explained as he looked at it closer.
"Humor attempt: does this mean I will have a boy or a girl?" Nicole tried to joke.
Amu gasped awake at that before she bumped Tusk out of her way, sending him face first into an explosive chair. Tails chuckling sheepishly at the looks he got for that.
"Say that again!" Amu said, holding Nicole. "You made a joke...You're becoming even better than before! You were awesome before, but now that you can joke! This is amazing!" she smiled hugging Nicole, "Roll, group hug!" she ordered.
"Yay!" Roll cheered, hugging both.
"So...what do we do about the cube?" Yamato asked.
"At the moment, it seems it's merged with Nicole...kind of…" he muttered. "It seems to be empowering her, meaning A) she's back to normal operational order; and B) the cubes have a kind of energy that can help her."
"...Okay. So no removing it from her unless it wants to," Roll noted.
"I still require a Red Power Ring. I do not plan to rely on this cube." Nicole informed. "Reasoning: I feel wrong using it like this."
"You're very strong and independent, aren't you?" Yamato smiled. "Yokata. I'll respect that wish and help look for a Red Power Ring….what are those?"
"It's a ring with a red star in the middle." Tusk answered, avoiding everything touchable in the room, "It's a great power source. Plus, it should help Nicole keep herself active for a time."
"Do you think some of them ended up here on Earth?" Yamato asked.
"Six months maximum." Nicole said, "And if I suspect we might have relics of our worlds likely summoned here...I detected...Chaos Emeralds briefly…" she said, having everyone but Yamato's attention.
"Uh...let me guess...Another object of amazing power?" Yamato took a guess.
"All seven will basically make you a god." Tusk summed up.
"Wait...do you think you know who and his sacred big emerald ended up here too?" Sonic asked.
"Are we ever lucky?" Sela asked.
"Fair."
"This might've become more troublesome." Tusk said.
"Wait...wait…" Leo spoke up. "Does that mean what I think it means?"
"What do you think it means?" Roll asked.
"My buddy Knucks is here!" Leo shouted in excitement. "I'm gonna find him!"
"Knucks?" Yamato repeated.
"Red echidna that can punch the ground so hard, he can set off volcanic eruptions," Sonic explained.
"That doesn't sound possible…" Yamato muttered.
"Story of my life." Tails spoke up.
"He's also gullible, even if he does make some really fun traps to get out of," Sonic added.
"He knows how to fly despite being an Echidna." Amu spoke up.
"Eh?" Yamato blinked twice.
"He's a dedicated person, though," Roll noted, "He takes his duty of protecting a special gem on his island home very seriously."
"He sounds like a good person," Yamato muttered.
"He ate a napkin...multiple times." Tusk pointed out bluntly. "Didn't he kind of eat some of your very fancy ones even that one time you invited him to dinner, Roll?"
"He did tell us they tasted good, so it was forgivable," Roll replied, "Now if he insulted or did something to the strawberries, then we'd have had a problem."
"Don't tell me...some Sakurai family law for Strawberries?" Yamato guessed.
"Not a fan of laws?" Amu asked.
"Not a fan of overreactions." he explained, "But mainly just seeing if I can understand the patterns. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with her family laws. Like I said they are still a practice here in Japan. But I'm just more…"
"Worldly?" Sonic guessed, "I mean far as I can tell, you seem like one of the most open minded dudes ever."
'And you're closed minded,' Roll thought, "It is a Food of Love, Yamato-san."
"Food of...love?" he tilted his head, Amu cutely mimicking him while standing next to him.
"Indeed. Many of our recipes use strawberries as an important ingredient," Roll replied, "And it becomes all the more special when the strawberry is coated in chocolate."
Amu then grabbed Yamato's chin and moved his head to look at Sonic. "Oh I get it." Yamato nodded. "So that answers that."
"Just don't do anything bad to them," Leo shuddered, a haunted look in his eyes.
"I... already know." Yamato muttered.
"How?!" The others minus amu asked.
"Well long story short, when me, Flash were young, we were with Uncle Mario and we're getting the groceries and some thugs try to rob us, one picked the bag Flash had which had strawberries and Smashed it on his foot. And the next thing he knew he was flung back and hitting the wall and also losing his teeths and some Blood, same could be said about the other thugs,"Yamato explained with haunted look,"That was the day we swore never to mess with strawberry or... Well, you get the idea"
The others blinked many time trying to process the new information.
"So all the nice boy and serious face, his that dangerous," sonic said with wide eyes. He seen roll do this aswell one time when he accidentally step on tye strawberry patch and he had to run for his life from an angry girl.
"Yup, and He did that when he was 5," Yamato told.
"Note to self. Never insult or do any harm to the strawberry," The others muttered. Roll on the other hand thought about what Yamato told.' Flash is being more of a sakurai, But how can this be? and how can he be half human and is hear?,I will ask Kaa-san if she is found.. and hopefully."
Amu then change tryed subject to ease the mood."Ne, what kind of animal do you think it is?" Amu asked, lightly poking the cube. "I wonder if it'll be something cute. I bet it'll be something adorable." she then got behind Nicole and began rubbing her face, "I mean, Nicole is adorable!"
"...please release me…" Nicole said politely, "I would like to assist Tails in his work and perhaps buy new equipment for his lab."
"Ehh? But…" Yamato started before Nicole twirled around and assumed a human form with her clothes, but facial features similar to Amu.
"I believe a human form would be adequate?"
"Oh my God!" Amu shouted. "Roll-chan picture, picture! We're twins!"
"Cheese," Roll giggled, holding up a camera.
"Maybe...it's because Nicole-san is a lynx...and Amu is a Tiger. And they are similar in that they are feline." Yamato talked to himself as Roll took pictures of the two.
"Irrelevant." Nicole stated, ignoring the face cuddling from Amu. "I used amu facial features, as sela loos would incite fear."
"Okay, I need to get a few things for the cafe," Roll noted as she looked at a list, "All we really have is the place and the costumes."
"So lots and lots of grocery shopping then?" Amu asked, simplifying the overall objective.
"And chair and table shopping," Roll nodded.
"Ooh! Ooh! I had an idea! What if we ask Mario-Ojisan to build them for us? He's a sculptor who works with wood, right? And he made most of the neat stuff in the house." Amu offered. "Plus, it might even be cheaper since you at least have to pay for the materials he'd use." she explained with a sense of logic that seemed more impressive than expected of her personality thus far.
"...Amu-chan, that's brilliant," Roll noted.
"Well of course. I had to learn real world skills given Tusk is so antisocial. And Sela and Leo are so temperamental that if they go and buy our groceries for the week, they get into a shouting match with the merchants in town." she reminded. "I know how to get the best prices out of them by reminding them so and so could sell it even cheaper."
"Amu is a brilliant negotiator." Nicole spoke bluntly. "Academically, her skills are not shown to full effect."
"Ano...why are we here?" Yamato asked as Amu's tail was wrapped around his wrist and dragging him along with them. Flash coming with them as his tail and ears were hidden in his hoodie.
"I believe it's because Tusk requested you two to keep an eye on Amu mostly Yamato-san," Nicole replied.
"That's right!" Amu smiled, taking it in stride, "Plus, you can't trust me alone with them! I'll trick them into buying me stuff."
"I like to think I'm the only one who falls for that." Yamato replied sarcastically.
"Don't worry, I also think you fall for that aswell." Flash said playfully.
"Oh, hahaha.." Yamato dryly laughed.
"No. She's done it to me, too," Roll sighed.
"It's 'cause our Roll-chan is so kind and loving." Amu joked, hugging her. "It's what we all love about her."
"Amu's definition of Love might not align to the rest of ours." Nicole said bluntly.
"Right…" Yamato and Flash nodded in agreement.
"Very true," Roll agreed before spotting something, "Oh, Amu-chan, the smoothie truck's here!"
"AH!" Yamato shouted as he was dragged off by a white blur.
"That didn't go as you expected, did it?" Nicole asked, feeling bad for poor Yamato as he was being dragged along the ground.
"It got her to stop bothering us. Though I feel sorry for Yamato-san," Roll admitted.
"Hai. He's paying." Amu spoke up happily.
"EH!?" Yamato gawked.
"I believe...you owe him big time." Flash muttered.
"Okay hear me out on this one." Sonic spoke as him, Tusk, Leo, and Sela searched the forest for the power ring they needed. "We find the last cube, and I use it."
"You want to join a team?" Tusk asked as he moved some branches out of his way.
"Mostly I want to see how that whole turning into a costumed super hero feels." Sonic admitted.
"It...is...awesome." Leo stated.
"I get the feeling there's more to it then that." Sela sighed. "Besides...I'm already blue. How many colors are left?"
"That's a good point...but I'm willing to risk it." Sonic admitted.
"You know there's a large chance you'll turn Pink." Tusk pointed out, smirking as Sonic paused.
"...Okay. We find the last cube and Nicole uses it then."
"Why not Roll?"
"Because she'd probably use it to find Eggman and kill him," Sonic scowled.
"True." Sela nodded.
"But Nicole is a lynx. That's, like, three cats." Leo pointed out. "And Flash is already a fox so we don't need two more Wouldn't it make more sense for a more interesting team given our name is 'Dobutsu Sentai'? Hello!"
"Why does that sound both stupid...but strangely clever?" Tusk asked.
"Because it's awesome," Leo nodded.
"First, we fix Nicole, then we find the cube, then we help Sonic think of a way to make Roll go home and leave Eggman here." Sela listed, "That way we all go home, Sonic has a clear conscious, and none of us ever...EVER have to hear that laugh of his ever again. Sound good?" she asked the boys.
"Agreed," Leo nodded.
"Big time," Sonic agreed.
"..."
"...Tusk?"
"Hm? What?" Tusk looked at Sela.
"We agree on leaving Eggman here and take Roll back home when we find the Cube?"
"Oh. Right. Agreed," Tusk nodded.
"Tusk...stop being negative...or I'm shoving your nose in Mario's Natto snack," Sela threatened, making Tusk freak and cover his nose as he backed into a tree.
"Why do humans eat something so gross smelling!? It's fermented beans...why?!" Tusk shouted, his fear of bad smells overwhelming him.
"It smells bad?" Leo asked; being a predatory race, Leo's kind have a lower sense of taste, and Leo himself doesn't have the best of noses.
"Given the smell of your laundry, I'm amazed you smell at all." Sonic admitted.
"Can I throw my ten cents in?" Tails asked, holding an energy tracker, "Tusk, Amu, Leo and Sela had their cubes the longest and so did Yamato since he was a kid no less. Flash had his since he was a baby as you told. It's obvious whoever had the most exposure will be who the Cube bonds to and chooses the most. So if I'm right and the birdman did take the Cube or it was taken by a bystander, there's a high chance it might bond and choose them and not work for anyone else." Tails stated, "Just because we're Mobians doesn't mean we'll get picked. I mean, look at Yamato. In fact, I'll place bets that the next Zyuohger is another human."
"I'll take that bet. Who's with me? Next one is a Mobian?" Sonic asked.
"Also, Sonic, the point of you becoming a Zyuohger would be pointless. Even as Zyuohgers, not even Yamato can constantly keep up with you given you beat all your records. The only real advantage he has is going over ocean terrains, plus as Super Sonic, you're much more powerful and indestructible then any of the guys so far. Flash on the other hand has the advantage over you cause of the Shinobi jitsu he knows and the way he can keep up. He also is very y dangerous of you see it on what Yamato told us."
"Oh yeah. Then come up with a reason for Roll."
"Simple; she's very focused on killing Eggman and very strict in her family's laws that you refuse to listen to when someone tries to…" Tails began to explain.
"Less talkey on Roll, more talkey on why it won't work for her."
"..." Tails sighed, "From what everyone told me, I think the Zyuoh Changers respond more to people who want to protect all life, not end it." Tails continued, "Besides, Nicole's a bit more complicated. She doesn't generate our energy."
"Ugh...Leo brains hurts from the big lecture." Leo groaned. "This is stupid...who cares about if they can or can't?! All that matters is you want to! That's all I cared about when I made it work!"
"Yeah, but Leo…" Tails began.
"Tails, I will belt you across the face!" Leo complained, wanting no more lectures.
"Then I'll tell Yamato." Tails said, "After all, he doesn't know about my real age~"
"..." Leo froze at that, imagining Yamato's glare at Leo. Leo, in his panic, pushed Tails down the hill.
"Did he break the tracker?" Sela asked.
"By some miracle, no." Tusk said in relief. "This would take forever without Tails."
"Oh. Good," Sela nodded before sucker punching Leo in the face, making him twirl before falling down the hill, "Don't do that again!"
"Ta-Da!" Amu smiled as she got her friends to sit around a table, each of them having a plate of perfectly cut cake in front of them. Everyone having a different kind of cake: Vanilla for Amu, Red Velvet for Yamato, Chocolate for Nicole, and for Roll…
"I have never seen...something more beautiful," Roll tried to not cry, looking at the red velvet cake before her, decorated in strawberries and a strawberry sauce.
"I know right," Flash said while having the same treat as roll.
"That actually looks pretty good," Yamato admitted, "But...I'll stick to mine." he quickly said, taking a bite of his own.
"..." Nicole slowly blinked as she looked at her plate.
"What's wrong?" Yamato asked as Amu happily ate hers before she put her decorative strawberry on Roll's plate.
"I...am unsure of what to do here," Nicole admitted, "I am technically composed of nanites, so I am unsure of how I'll react."
"Oh! Maybe you can have the nanites make you a tummy," Amu suggested, eating some of the white chocolate off her cake.
"...That...sounds like an interesting idea actually," Nicole nodded as her eyes flashed data green for a moment. She then slowly looked down at her cake before picking up a fork, using it to take a piece of the cake off before putting it in her mouth, causing her to tense up, "?!"
"Nani...are you okay?" Flash asked in worry.
"...I….I…."
"...Nicole?"
"I was unaware of how...how…." Nicole whispered as she swallowed her piece, sending a shiver up her back as a smile grew on her face, along with a bit of a blush, "...Delicious~!"
"Chocolate is one of the Love Foods. Of course it's delicious," Roll giggled, eating another of her strawberries.
"Yeah, Score One for Amu!" Amu cheered to herself.
"The way the sweetness combines with the starchiness of the cake and frosting...its...ahh~" Nicole gasped out in bliss as she took another bite, sending another shiver up her spine, "Ohh~"
"And we have succeeded in introducing another girl to the wonders that is chocolate," Amu fist bumped with Roll.
'Does she have to make noises with each bite?' Yamato and Flash asked themselves as Yamato took a sip of the coffee that he ordered with his cake when he decided to accept this was happening. Flash drinking his strawberry milkshake.
"It's her first time enjoying chocolate," Roll explained, seeing a small twitch in there expression, "Girls have a bit more...sensitive taste to certain things."
"Though none can compare to Amu's sense of taste." Nicole explained. "Her sense of taste is stronger than any ordinary being, it's believed a trait of her kind enhanced by her long exposure to the King's Credentials."
"Boring Superpower for the win!" Amu cheered earning her piece of cake happily. "Yummy. I can taste the vanilla extract, the rich cream, the hint of spice to balance out the sweet flavors, mainly the cinnamon."
"Having all those enhanced senses must be very helpful. I know I live with one" Yamato noted.
"True and me having Fox senses and learning Shinobi training, I have well power." Flash told
"See, even he has cool powers and he's like you," Amu said with a pout."Hm...if you ask me, Sela and Tusk have the better ones." Amu stated while chewing more of her cake. "I guess we cat types don't get the neat stuff...I mean Leo's power is his voice. One time, he stubbed his toe and, half the town couldn't hear a thing for half a week." she reminded. "Remember that Roll? You and Haseo kept shouting 'What' to each other for 2 days 'till you figured you could communicate with pen and paper."
"..." Roll's ears flattened against her skull as she frowned at Amu.
"Oh come on, Roll-chan. Leo can't help it...besides, could you imagine if his Dad or Mom had his super power? ...You might never be able to hear things again." Amu muttered with a pout, seeing the frown, "Leo is a good boy compared to the rest of his family. Now…" she grunted reaching over the table and grabbing the sides of her cheeks before forcing her to smile. "Smile...smile, I say…!" she grunted in much effort.
..." Roll gave a tiny smile...a tiny, vindictive one.
"...I am in much trouble, aren't I?" Amu asked.
"Let's just say that you don't get to pick your first cosplay for the opening."
"...You're a sly vindictive girl...I trained you well." Amu said, crying fake tears. "But you do realize, this means war!" she cheered in a cute voice.
"You two really are like sisters, aren't you?" Yamato muttered eating some of his cake.
"Of course. She's considered a Shield Sister to the Sakurai family just like Nicole-chan is,and Flash as a Shield Brother" Roll replied, reaching to hug Flash and Nicole, who growled while eating her cake, "Okay. No huggy while you're still eating your first taste of chocolate."
"Hahaha…" Yamato chuckled warmly at that. But after a moment, his eyes began to itch again. Like last night he began rubbing them to get the feeling out of them. But once he opened them again...everything before him began to zoom in as he saw everything miles away. "Ah…" he grunted, closing and opening eyes quickly as everything was back to normal.
"Daijobu?" Flash asked in concern.
"Hai...but it was weird...one moment everything looked funny...then suddenly I could see the park...all the way over there." he explained as the Four turned to see him pointing at a park...which was a good 10 miles away.
"I don't see anything," Amu noted.
"Me neither," Roll agreed.
"Me to," Flash said
"I'm just...weirded out…" he muttered before his hand shot up suddenly, making the others jump in surprise.
"An indigenous insect." Nicole noted, seeing in Yamato's hand was a Mosquito.
"It looks creepy," Roll moved behind Amu.
"Strange...how did you notice it, Yamato?" Flash asked.
"Eh? ...But it was moving so slow." Yamato explained as his finger slipped and the bug flew off very quickly to the girl's eyes at least. "Something must be wrong with me…" he muttered as his normal eyes became sharper and more threatening...almost like those of an eagle...but it wore off after Yamato blinked.
"Ok, is it just me or is Yamato getting the same thing I had when I start to get my powers," Flash said seeing the same traits happing to Yamato now.
"Hmm…" Nicole muttered putting the last bite of her cake in her mouth before she grabbed both sides of Yamato's head and peered into his eyes carefully and got in very close. "Interesting... Flash is right, the internal structure of his eyes...it's altering."
"Altering?" Amu and Roll repeated.
"Where once his eyes where Mammalian such as yours, now they are becoming avian." Nicole explained.
"Eh...you mean that's why my eyes have been feeling weird?" Yamato blinked.
"Pretty much, like what happened to me once remember," Flash said finishing his cake.
"His right, the lense of your eyes is being pushed forward, which is causing your retinas to look larger and slightly more intimidating." she muttered.
"And as a result, my eyesight has become binocular." Yamato added his own knowledge of the anatomy of animals. "Wait...I have Bird EYES?!" he gawked, causing the people around them to look at them.
"Uh...Yes! Though they should call them 'Rabbit Eyes' with all the carrots you eat," Amu spoke quickly. "Right, Roll-chan...right!" she awkwardly chuckled while elbowing her friend repeatedly.
"Uh...H-Hai!" Roll agreed, "Maybe we should have a rabbit mask instead of a bird one for you at the cafe, ne?"
"Yeah...Yeah! You'll like the eagle one better."Flash joined
"Oh...oh! Right...right...sorry...sorry...ahahaha!" Yamato laughed awkwardly as they were able to shake off the attention. "Gomen...gomen." he bowed to them.
"It would appear that exposure to the King's Credential and the Mobian power already inside of you has resulted in this...power," Nicole examined as Yamato kept blinking. "If the King's Credentials enhances his vision like Amu's taste, And Flash hearing and sensing, then it's fair to say he could develop telescopic vision, and it explains why things move slower for him. He can now process the information his eyes receive information faster for the sake of safety during flight."
"So like a normal eagle's vision...I can see miles away to spot prey...and to protect myself in flight." Yamato noted.
"Ano...let's not explain it that way...I feel like you're gonna fly off to chase a rabbit in the forest any moment now when you say it like that." Amu spoke up innocently.
"That'd be horrible!" Roll gasped. Flash quickly looked away not seeing them in the eyes.
"I'm not gonna go after a rabbit." Yamato muttered, calming them down.
"That's like saying Amu hunts down anything that comes into her home." Nicole countered, making Roll just stare at Amu with wide eyes.
"What...I don't do that...Oh, the one time I hit you with a pillow when you came over and you never let me forget it." Amu pouted at Roll.
"...How do you feel about maid outfits?" Roll asked.
"I'm telling your mom once we find her," Amu pouted even more.
"Totally like siblings." Yamato muttered bluntly.
"Yup," Flash said.
"Agreed…" Nicole nodded, "...Now if you will excuse me, I wish to test out some samples of food."
"Just don't eat too much…"Flash told
"...Mr Kazakiri, Mr sentry, I am an AI program with a body made of nanites. I highly doubt I'll get...as you call it, 'fat,'" Nicole deadpanned, "But enough of that. I must have some samples of food. Roll, Amu, would you two care to join me?"
"...I think you might've flipped something in her, Amu-chan," Roll whispered to the tigress.
"Score 2 for Amu." Said Tigress cheered, doing a little victory dance in her seat.
"Hmm….Devil's food cake...interesting name…" Nicole muttered, already looking at the menu, "...Mr. Kazakiri, I wish to try samplings of all the cakes on the menu here."
"...On second thought, I think I see what you mean," Amu sweatdropped a bit, seeing Nicole focus on the menu.
"Oh? Maybe one of each hot chocolate flavor drink as well they have here," Nicole went on.
"That's my girl!" Amu cheered. "Make that a double! Roll, you want in on this?" she asked in a sweet tone.
"No thank you," Roll shook her head, "I think Yamato-san's wallet is crying enough as it is."
"Arigato, Roll-san." Yamato thanked with his face planted on the table.
"Oh? Strawberry flavored chocolate milkshake? Interesting," Nicole noted, "I was unaware there was strawberry flavored chocolate."
'...Please no. Please no. P-'
"..." Roll pulled out her purse and looked into it, "How much is it? If it's in the right price range, I can put a bit aside from our food supply money for it."
"Roll-san...seriously...thank you…" Yamato sobbed happily.
"Oh, There's also a pudding cake." Nichole said seeing it. Yamato gained another look, suddenly Flash put down a lot of money on the table.
"I'm only helping you once buddy, Beside I got these from the red light district from perverts who were gonna do some things to the kids. Saved them and got my prize." He explained.
"Thank you,"Yamato gained sobbed in relief not even bothered by Flash method.
"Find it yet?!" Leo shouted at Tails, who wasn't that far away.
"No!" Tails replied.
"Oh...Find it yet?!"
"No!"
"...F-"
"Leo I swear if you ask that one more time, I'll superglue that mouth of yours shut," Tails threatened.
"Well...where is it?!" Leo countered. "We've been looking for hours...and Amu and Roll get a pass out of this boring stuff!" he added while running up to Tails, "I want to sleep!" he complained, shaking Tails.
"...Leo….do that to me again, and, if she's even here, I'll call my sister and tell her you manhandled me again."
"?!" Leo tensed as he dropped him.
"Yeah...don't want another 'cold attack' do you?"
"No no! Leo finally got his mane to thaw out after the last time!" Leo exclaimed, holding his mane as he reverted to his Mobian form.
"Then don't do it again….ever."
"I'm not afraid! I have Flash, he has fire power making her cold not great" Leo told back
"Wanna bet.."
"Leo, shut up! Tails, stop acting tough!" Sela shouted, making them both stand straight. "Find the damn thing so we can go home 'cause even I'm getting tired of this! And don't make me chew your ears off for wasting time with stupid macho stuff!"
so we can go home 'cause even I'm getting tired of this! And don't make me chew your ears off for wasting time with stupid macho stuff!"
"Leo's always macho!" Leo declared as Tails managed to get out of his manhandling and walked over to a lake.
"While he's distracted." Tails muttered, scanning the lake with his device before he leaned in close as it began detecting a positive signal.
"Tails!" Sela shouted, grabbing him by his collar and pulling him away before the water exploded and green arrows of energy shot out and destroyed several trees.
Sela fell back as she held on to Tails as everyone looked up at the now burning trees then back down at the lake. Sela, to be sure, tapped Tails head before she sighed in relief.
"What was that?!" Sonic asked before the water burst again and Bowguns rose up.
"Ugh...why did you move him? ...Know what? Never mind...the game's done." the oval headed alien groaned.
"...Caliburn, I know we fight, but that ass just shot at my Bro." Sonic frowned, taking out his sword.
"You...you're all friends with that Orange Fox jerk, aren't ya?!" Bowguns asked. "He made Naria and Azald-sama mad at me...do you know what they do when mad...they do the worse things you can imagine!" he complained as he held up his crossbow. "So I'm going to take you out, while Naria-sama finds your stupid...Living computer thing!" he ranted clearly upset.
"Uhm...did he realize he gave away her plan?" Tails asked hiding behind Sela.
"Yes...yes he did." Sela nodded, "Tails, find Yamato and Nicole and warn them."
"Uh...well I want to...but see...I can't." he muttered slowly before using one of his tails to point at the lake behind Bowguns, "The thing we're looking for is like...right there in the lake."
"Damn it..." Tusk groaned.
"Also, that guy fires at light speed. I'm fast flying and a runner but, only Sonic is at that speed. Well not currently mind you..." Tails muttered on.
"He fires at light speed!? How did you…"
"Nicole."
"Oi...stop ignoring me for the brat, de gansu!" Bowguns shouted as he began shooting...Only for each of his green energy arrows wat knocked out of the air by a blue blur. "What?! ...uh...Fire!" he shouted, shooting again only for the blue blur to knock them out of the air before even getting close to them.
"Boy...these Deathgaliens aren't so smart, are they?" Sonic muttered, leaning on a tree while tapping Caliburn on his shoulder.
"Ha! If being smart were a qualification, then I'd be on the other team...oops...shouldn't have said that maybe."
"Yeah... hold that thought…" Leo said, taking out the Zyuoh Changer only for Bowguns to shoot it out of his hand. "Oi!"
"I know not to let you hold those things!" he laughed only to be slashed across the back, making sparks fly. "Gah!" he cried as Sonic was behind him already, "Oh...you're gonna pay for that Blue spiky thing! Azald-sama will pay me handsomely if I bring him back your hide! You messed with his last player a lot!"
"Hold on," Sonic held a hand up.
"Huh?"
"Look at me…" Sonic said, "Now look at your weapon…" he ordered, "Look at me...look at your weapon. Back to me...I am not a bowgun; I was holding a sword...back to your weapon...Where'd it go?"
"Huh, where'd it go?!" Bowguns gasped.
"Now, look at my friends; they're transforming."
=SHARK~! LION~! ELEPHANT~!=
"...Dammit, he got me too!" Bowguns realized.
"Dammit! It got him too!" Azald snapped, sober once again as he bashed his head into the wall next to the old imprint of his face.
"It's almost like any random idiot can join your team." Quval muttered sarcastically.
"We need to enforce that whole IQ minimum thing at some point…" Ginis muttered to himself, "...Nah...another time."
"Thank you. Quval has admitted I have more team members! I win!"
"What!? No I didn't!"
"Hmm...Has Naria gotten my computer yet…?" Ginis asked sipping his wine as a few Moebas were ordered to give him drinks on command. "Oh hurry, Naria... The Moebas don't have your lovely company aura."
"I'm starting to wonder of the company I keep…" Quval muttered with thick sarcasm.
"I apologize…" Nicole burped slightly as Yamato looked at the mountain of plates before him, "I've never actually eaten before."
"...Yamato-san?" Roll pondered, waving a hand in front of Yamato's face as he kept staring at the plates.
"Hai…" he responded as he saw nothing come out of wallet but air, "Oh no."
"Don't worry, I paid them remember." Flash told,"Used all of it thought," he looked at Yamato wallet and his.
"..." Roll looked between her purse and the empty wallet, "...Amu is in deep trouble now…"
"I am adorable and lovely and he likes animals. I'll never get in trouble with Yamato, ne?" she smiled as he sighed and scratched her chin like a cat.
"Not with him; with me," Roll frowned.
"It's fine, Roll-san...I'll just put in some overtime at the park." Yamato smiled calmly.
"And I can do more saving in red light district and get the confused people out,"Flash told as he avoided tye look Yamato gave him.
"Why are you going there?"
"Cause my instinct say that roll mom may have accidentally be in the red light district,"
"Really?!" Roll asked.
"Yeah but know she's not there." Flash told her.
"Oh, well glade she's out of there but hope she's safe." Roll said with her ears flatt down.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine." Flash reassured her, suddenly he rubbed her head a bit annoying her.
"Hey... Cut it out" Roll said annoyed slapping his hand away as he laughed.
"Hm, Hey how about we test Flash DNA to see if his blood match one from your family." Amu spoke.
"Really?!" Flash asked surprised.
"Hai, I can do that once we're back at the base." Nichole told.
"That can work, "Flash soon made a face of excitement when he heard that. He will know his family soon. Yamato couldn't help but smile at that.
Roll soon developed a serious look,"...But Amu is still in deep trouble now…"
"It's fine, Roll-san...I'll just put in some overtime at the park." Yamato smiled calmly.
"Still adorable~" she smirked.
"I believe I should take some blame." Nicole said, "I believe as long as this cube is inside me, I can make a more accurate data response to organic things."
"It's fine really I don't mind it." Yamato shook his head. "It was just some money...I can get more back. Plus, it's not like I have a lot of things I'm interested in buying. As long as you guys are happy while here, that's all that matters."
"This wallet is mine." Amu claimed, "It's Yamato's, but by extension, it and him are mine!"
"..." Roll gave Amu a stare, "You are not allowed to service Yamato-san at the cafe and his meals and flash-san are all free as thanks for what they done for us."
"I would actually prefer Amu-chan…" he admitted, "I would feel even more awkward with anyone else…" he admitted that as his face was one of...even this was very awkward for him.
"Love bird" Flash muttered out of Yamato hearing
"Yes! I win, boss!" Amu cheered. "Pay up."
"Achooo!" Aphrodite sneezed, barely covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
"Are you ok?" Sonia asked.
"I believe that Amu-chan is expecting me to pay for a bet we never even made...again," Aphrodite replied.
"It's Amu. What do you expect her to find? A boy…" she started before catching a pickpocket, "Hey! Watch the hand…Manic?"
"Yo, Sonia."
"My Godbaby!" Aphrodite glomped him before starting to look him over, "Are you okay? Have you been eating right?" she sniffed, "Yep. Pancakes. You've been eating."
"Nice to see you too, second mom." he said, "You guy see Bro on the tv?"
"...I am smacking him upside the head when we find him again for doing that," Sonia admitted.
"Oh, who cares? I stole from fifty jewelry stores this morning." Manic said.
"Manic. The. Hedgehog."
"Oh come on," he frowned, pulling out some fancy rings, "Tell me you don't like them."
"...So….pretty…" Sonia trembled.
"I do not like them since they were stolen…"
"They were overcharging everyone and the majority of their products were made of cubic zirconium and fool's gold."
"...and now we're good," Aphrodite replied.
"So you guys wanna come back to this 5 Star Hotel Room I borrowed the keys to?"
"...In." Sonia instantly replied without even a millisecond of hesitation.
"..."
"Yes, the guy was a douche. Yes, I stole his wallet and gave the cash to someone needing it," Manic rolled his eyes.
"You are my favorite Godbaby," Aphrodite stated, nuzzling him in a big hug.
"You're welcome." he smirked.
"Sonic really made you eat chili dogs?" Flash asked.
"He mistook the concept of my real body," she explained, "I was fat for a day, but chili dogs were...I am not allowed to say."
"Why?" Yamato
"You don't describe the chili-dog; you live it," Roll replied.
"Ahahaha…" Yamato chuckled. Flash laughed.
"No, he burped then said 'Don't cheapen it with words,'" Nicole informed.
"You guys are a lot of fun," Yamato smiled before his Zyuoh Changer began ringing. "Hai Yamato." he replied answering it. "Oh hi Tails...oh...is everyone alright...the green lady isn't there?" he asked, "Hai...we'll keep an eye out...do you...hello...hello…? Mou, he hung up."
"Battle time?" Flash asked.
"We have to find them first." he said, "Nicole-san, can you…" he said before he saw her tapping at the air, "Umm...what's going on?"
"It would appear someone is trying to hack me…" she explained calmly. "I believe it to be the alien known as Naria."
"Oh, how cute. It can remember names," Naria's voice laughed, making them all look to see the green alien, "Now say Ginis-sama is the one true god of your life."
"No." Nicole said sternly.
"Ah well...I'm going to have to perform a factory Reset on you." she said before looking and frowning, "What are you doing?"
"You really shouldn't have tied your ship controls to your device." she smirked.
"Nani?"
"I do believe the term used on Earth is, 'got you.'" she smiled proudly.
At that, Naria's device began beeping.
=Naria...what's going on? The ship is losing orbit!= Quval shouted.
=BIG SHINY THING!= Azald shouted.
=Oh look. It's the sun...I hope you boys are fire proof= Ginis chuckled.
"Ginis-sama the computer is attempting to end your life by sending you and the ship to the planet star."
"If that does not work, maybe a black hole will...either way you'll be mightily inconvenienced I imagine, "Ginis-sama" the great and all powerful...to quote Sonic, I've heard it enough to boredom…"
"How dare you…" Naria snarled.
=Naria…= Ginis spoke over the line. =I think this one has...interested me. Not in the original way, though= he spoke. =Ahahaha...Ah good one though. My SagittariArc taken over by a bio-machine...truly a surprise=
"Ginis sama, I will break this machine for its insolen…"
=Naria, I wasn't finished=
"Forgive me…"
=I've never seen such a cocky AI in a few centuries. I kind of want to take it apart even more now...to take its code apart bit by bit...see what every byte of Data gives me on its personality...its dreams...I want to tear it apart and see what makes it tick even more= he spoke in a dark sinister tone, making those besides Naria just stare in shock as this Ginis spoke. =What's your name, computer?=
"Nicole the Holo-Lynx...and you will never break a Freedom Fighter."
=Freedom Fighter...how cute. Well...try not to be too cocky, Nicole the Holo Lynx...because sooner or later, like everything else in this world...you will become my play thing. But...till then, enjoy your freedom, Nicole The Holo Lynx.= Ginis spoke.
"You cocky…"
=Naria...return home. For now, we shall go back to the games. Also, cut off the ship's connection to your holo pad as well...she's using it as a door= Ginis spoke calmly. =Anyway Nicole...do me a favor...save yourself for me. Someday, you'll be one of my belongings.= Ginis chuckled darkly making everyone shudder.
Nicole's response was to force activate Naria's teleporter, sending her back to the ship and ending the conversation.
"Nothing has ever disturbed my circuitry like that."
"That was...Ginis." Yamato muttered to himself, finally he heard the voice of this big boss of the aliens out to harm his planet.
"He sounded scary," Roll noted, hiding behind Amu who was hiding behind Nicole, "Scarier than Eggman, even."
"Well...he is some leader of a group of aliens that blow up planets for sport...Eggman isn't on that level…" Amu added.
"I can agree to that, my animal senses were at hay wire."Flash said still having his stern look.
"Indeed. The chances are if Eggman believes we have a chance against this 'Ginis,' he will likely assist us." Nicole said logically.
"..."
"Sonic ordered me to prevent you from doing that before we left if we ran into him here," Nicole spoke up, picking up on the mood from the Hedgefox.
"No matter. She's not killing anyone," Flash said, causing Roll to look at him with wide eyes, "But I'll talk with her about that later." he said, "I'm more concerned about Leo-tachi."
"Yes, they will likely fight. But Tails should take priority given his age."
"What do you mean?" Yamato asked.
"Oh. Were you not aware? He's 8…"
-exactly 3 seconds later-
"...wow." Nicole noted, seeing Eagle fly off like the Zyuoh Fox running fast like lightning, All anyone heard was a loud sonic boom and flash of red and Orange as Zyuoh Eagle flew off and Zyuoh Fox ran. "Did you really all neglect that fact?"
"...I was making Leo owe me one." Amu admitted. "That and if he knew that back at Tails's house...he would have yelled at all of us...and I do mean all of us...except you, Nicole, 'cause you were hurt. And Flash will give the look of disappointment like your kaa-san does."
"Hai," Roll nodded, "...Do you need to hop on my back so we can go after them, Amu-chan, Nicole-chan?"
"Let's go! I honestly don't feel comfortable not joining with them in a fight!" Amu cheered.
"I will return to Haseo and see if Mister Mario wants more channels." Nicole explained. "I believe I can get back home via the Train system. It is amazingly accurate and advanced here in Tokyo." she added in a slight bit of appraisal.
"Okay, Nicole-chan," Roll nodded, "Stay safe, okay? I don't want to lose my Shield Sister."
"Don't worry. They have train cars for women only during this time of day," she nodded before Roll and Amu left, "...Strange. Roll is normally better at remembering important things. She already declared me her Shield Sister back when I saved Haseo when I first got this body…"
"This guy is cheap!" Lion shouted as the Zyuohgers fired back at Bowguns while Sonic blocked any shots coming at him.
"I suppose you wouldn't happen to be able to do something like become a firearm?!" Sonic asked Caliburn, while blocking arrow after arrow of green light energy. "Don't make me waste a soul surge!"
"Now die, De Gansu!" Bowguns shouted as he unleashed a large surge of arrows into the air that slowly arched and came down to rain on the five Mobians.
"Crap…" Lion said in slow motion as the arrows got closer.
At that, a powerful gale force wind blew the arrows away and lightning came flying in destroying the arrows as something red and orange blurred past them.
"HA!" Zyuoh Eagle shouted as he came down and slashed with the Eagriser, slashing Bowguns across the chest and making him stumble back. As the Deathgalien stumbled back, Zyuoh Fox came in hitting him with a fire fist on the face. Eagle rose back to his feet as he slashed Bowguns across the chest,as Fox spin kick him in the face leaving a red and orange streak in the air as they did.
"Yamato, Flash!" everyone called out.
"Why did no one tell me you had a child present!?" Both shouted at all of them. "Tails...Grounded!" Both stated, pointing at him. "Oh...so very grounded!"
"...you guys didn't tell them he was 8?" Sonic blinked.
"It never came up!"
"No excuses!" Eagle shouted, making them all flinch. "Sela, Leo, Tusk...laundry, shopping, and cleaning duty! Three weeks! Plus all your money from whatever work you do for Roll is given back to her!" he shouted. "Sonic...I'm honestly not sure how to punish you...swimming lessons?"
"I'll fight you with this, I swear! Roll and her mom already made it worst." Sonic said, holding Caliburn.
Zyuoh Fox ran to him,"Give me Caliburn and I let it slide this time."
"All your's" he tossed him the sword as Fox looked at him.
"Caliburn, let's cut down this evil, together." He told Caliburn.
"I'm with you on this, sir Flash,"
"In this suite, call me Fox" he stated
"As you wish sir Fox." Caliburn declared as Fox nodded.
"I'm here!" Bowguns cried, only for Eagle to kick him in the face sending him tumbling down an incline.
"I have more important issues then you." Eagle spoke coldly, "Oh wait...Deathgalien!"
'He just noticed…' everyone gawked mentally as Roll came up, Zyuoh Tiger hopping off her back.
"Minna, you're all grounded...oh he beat us here." Tiger noted.
"Why are you acting like a mother?"
"Cause his wallet is mine! I'm the favorite! Me!" Tiger gloated.
"We're never talking about that again." Eagle shook his head. "Roll, take Tails out of here." he ordered before he turned to face Bowguns.
"Wait. Yamato, the power ring we need is in the lake." Tails spoke up.
"Sela, go get it." Eagle ordered simply. "You have aquatic abilities, it should be no challenge for you." he ordered, "Leo, Tusk, cover Roll and Tails, Amu you're with me, we're gonna finish this fight as fast as we can!" he went on giving them all orders.
"I'm also in." Fox came holding Caliburn."I got a score to settle." He said taking stance.
Eagle looked at him worried,"Wait let us help in this aswell."
Fox looked at them then nodded as they got ready.
"Here we go, Tails-chan," Roll hefted Tails onto her back, "Hold on tight."
"Oi, where do you think you're going?! Full speed arrow!" Bowguns shouted as he pulled the trigger. His light speed arrow shot out...only for Eagle's Eagriser whip to knock them all out of the air. "Nani?!"
"I can see anything you shoot!" Eagle stated as Roll ran off. "Kono hoshi yo...nameruna!"
"Nameruna!" Tiger copied before the three ran forward.
Fox ran direct at him as several arrows were shot. He sliced them with his sword as he came and grab one arrow and send it back hitting him in the face making him yell in pain. Eagle jumped as he slashed down cutting the Deathgalien across the chest. As he landed on his knees, Tiger jumped over him by stepping on his shoulder. Zyuoh Tiger used the air as she pointed and slammed her knees into the monster's forehead making it stumble back. Eagle whipped his Eagriser as it extended and snagged Bowguns's leg and tripped him.
Eagle growled as he pulled with all his might and began swinging Bowguns around before smashing him through a tree. Eagle grunted as he spun around another time before he flicked his wrist and compelled his weapon to release the Deathgalien sending him flying up into the sky. Tiger and fox aimed there Zyuoh Buster in gun mode and began shooting as cube energy bullets flew through the sky and began juggling the alien in the sky via multiple explosions. As Bowguns began to fall, both charged at the Deathgalien. Before the alien monster could even hit the ground, both Zyuohgers swung their swords-the EagRiser and Caliburn -, their slashes sending him flying back and tumbling across the ground.
"Caliburn, I'm gonna try something, but it's gonna hurt, but will you trust me." Fix asked the sword.
Caliburn think a few moment and gave his answer,"I trust you sir Fox. If it means to cut this evil down."
Fox nodded." Fire na jitsu: Stage 4" He declared with a hand symbol. Suddenly Caliburn top blade part was on fire.
"Interesting, I don't feel the flame."
"I knew it will work." He said as bowgun got up. Fox ran at him as he fired arrows at him. Fox jumped on the arrows making the Deathgalien blink in shock as Fox came flying down."Blazing slash!" he shouted as he launched a fire slash in mid air as it came down hitting the Deathgalien on the chest as he was Fung back. Fox landed on the ground with the blaze on the sword gone but it was smoking.
"Oh...they make a good combo team…" Lion muttered as he and Elephant just watched.
"I suppose they've just gotten so use to one another's presence that they are in tune with one another." Elephant figured.
"Come on. We're missing out," Shark pushed the two towards the fight.
"I told you to get the red ring!" Eagle said, making them freeze.
"Hai!" they all gulped.
"Are we gonna die later?" Lion asked as Shark jumped into the lake, "Because I have a nap scheduled for the rest of the day after we blow him up."
"...Not even going to dignify that last part with a response," Elephant sweadropped a bit.
"Ugh…" Bowguns groaned as he got up, "Okay…Now I'm getting mad…"
"You have no right to get mad!" Eagle, Tiger and Fox shouted as they stabbed their swords into his chest, sending him flying back.
"Wow...it's like someone ticked off Mom and Dad and Uncle." Sonic joked, watching the two go to town on Bowguns.
"Yasei Kaihou!" Eagle shouted as he grew his wings before he jumped up. He then began spinning before he fired a barrage of red feathers that all struck Bowguns, causing multiple explosions.
"Yasei Kaihou!" Tiger shouted as her claws formed before she stabbed them into Bowguns chest. She then shouted as she slashed them down and ripping through his mineral based body. As the Deathgalien stumbled back ice began forming along the scratches in his body before it all began encasing him.
"Cold..cold...cold!" Bowguns cried as the ice stopped around his neck...leaving his giant head exposed.
"Yasei Kaihou!" Fox shouted as his claws on his feet and arm grow. He got the chance seeing the opening,"This is for the lives you took away for your sick game." He declared in anger, "Zyuoh Slash" He declared as the sword was now on fire and lightning. He soon launched 8 energy mid air slashes at The Deathgalien Hitting him in every direction making a large explosion of lightning and Fire as the slash hit him.
"Zyuoh...Shoot!" Tiger shouted as she pulled the trigger of her blaster, sending a giant cube of white energy before it unfolded into Cube Tiger as a blizzard-like aura of cold air coated it. The energy projection slammed into Bowguns, causing a large explosion of ice in the shape of a snowflake.
Eagle Tiger and Fox turned away as Bowguns's body exploded violently with embers and snow falling around them. Lion fell over in awe at that display while Elephant just gawked behind his helmet.
"When did they get that strong?" Elephant asked in his dumbfounded stupor.
"Found it!" Shark called out as she jumped back onto the land, holding the very ring they were searching for.
"I still don't get how they end up with that little star floating in them," Lion admitted as he sat up.
"It's best not to question it too much Leo." Elephant called out before he turned to the scattered remains of Bowguns's stone-like alien body, "Knowing this pattern…"
At that, the green coins landed on the ground before they separated to reveal an angry Naria. She quickly walked over to Bowguns's body.
"This is infused with Ginis-sama's cellular energy, don't waste it." she said, kissing the coin before she pushed into the coin slot on his shoulder.
Bowguns's eyes lit up as all the shards of his body reformed into his perfectly healthy self before he exploded in height. The giant Deathgalien stomped around, adjusting to his new center of gravity before he laughed and looked down.
"Thank you, Naria!" he shouted happily.
"Oh! Deka kita!" Roll declared, seeing the giant Bowguns from a few miles away.
"Why are we just getting used to this? How do lifeforms just grow big after beating them...and we just accept it?" Tails asked.
"No idea...But I get to do this!" Roll giddily responded as she pulled out her camera and mic once more.
"Well...whatever makes you happy," Tails muttered as he looked back at the equally giddy looking Bowguns.
"Just be glad we're at what is most likely the best distance to not be caught in any crossfire," Roll replied before scooping him into a hug, "And thank you for saying that. I have not heard that outside of my family in weeks."
"No problem…" he muttered, scratching the back of his head, "Oh...the robots!" he exclaimed as the 6 Cube Animals all grew to their giant size with their Zyuohger pilots jumping in at the same time.
"Oh, right! My cue!" Roll's eyes widened before turning to the camera, "Konnichwia, minna! This is Roll-chan reporting once more for another Giant Fight! With me is Tails-chan! Say 'konnichiwa,' Tails-chan."
"Koni...konnichiwa…" Tails awkwardly greeted, "Wait...isn't 'chan' more commonly used for girls?" he blinked in realization.
"You're eight. You are adorable, so you are a 'chan,'" Roll explained, "And here they go! Oh...I wonder what they'll be doing first in the fight?"
"Take this!" Bowguns shouted as he fired a barrage of arrows...only for all the Cube Animals to fold into cube form and let them bounce off with little harm.
Cube Eagle unfolded first as it flew up and began spraying energy blasts all over the Deathgalien. As Bowguns blocked with counter fire, he was blindsided when Cube Lion roared and unleashed a blast of lightning to his gut. As Bowguns backed away, he backed right into a trap as Cube Shark bit his leg. The Deathgalien paused for a moment as the pain traveled up his body and to his giant head.
"Ooh...That had to hurt," Roll cringed.
"AH!" he cried in pain hopping around trying to get Cube Shark off.
"Ike, Tiger-chan!" Zyuoh Tiger ordered as her Cube Animal roared and jumped while sweeping it's claws and scratching Bowguns face repeatedly like a mad cat.
"Ah! My eyes! Eyes!"
"Let's show him what we can do," Fox shouted as Cube Fox roard and delivery flame slashes on Bowguns Face and kicking him back on a mountain.
"Dang you Fox!"
"Leo, Sela! Dobutsu Gatai!" Zyuoh Eagle ordered.
=SAN~NI~ICHI~=
"Here it comes! The totem of Lion, Shark, and Eagle comes together to form and King of Beasts! The one and only…" Roll narrated.
"Kasei Zyuoh King!" Eagle, Shark and Lion called out as Zyuoh King grabbed it's King Sword and slashed Bowguns across the chest letting Cube Tiger jump away.
"Oh, now you're one robot?!" Bowguns asked as he raised his crossbow only for ZyuohKing to slash it out of his hand before slashing him across the chest again.
"No Mercy!" Lion ordered as Zyuoh King's sword was engulfed in fire as it swung and struck Bowguns making him back away as an explosion from the sword's impact sent him stumbling back into a mountain.
"Press on before he can shoot back!" Shark shouted as Zyuoh King slashed down at Bowguns, forcing the Deathgalien to use its crossbow as a shield.
Oh, that's actually a good tactic if you have a durable-enough crossbow," Roll admitted, "Oh, this is getting so excited, ne, Tails-chan?"
"Yeah!" Tails had to nod as he just enjoyed the giant robot fighting the giant monster.
"Perhaps you should not praise the Deathgalien for its ingenuity." Nicole's voice said from behind them.
"Ah! I-I wasn't praising it. I was praising the tactic," Roll argued, "He's still very bad, but the tactic is a good one for defending."
"Why are you here?" Tails asked.
"This wants to be with its friends." she said, pointing to the cube in her chest, which looked like it was pulsating with an orange light.
"Oh! Could it be that a new Zyuoh Cube ally wants to join?" Roll asked.
"Logically yes." Nicole nodded. "I can feel it's power growing even more, I do believe it is resonating to the emotions of the Zyuohgers. Primarily their leader, Yamato." she explained factually. She then winced as she took it out, "That was a bit painful...but I thank you for your assitance. Time to go do what you want." she said, holding a black and orange smaller version of the Kings Credential.
"Huh...It kinda looks like a King's Credential," Tails noted before the cube glowed brighter; it then cracked and revealed a smaller Zyuoh Cube with an Exclamation Point on it in white. The cube itself was an orange color with black spots. It then unfolded into...a giraffe.
"Aw~ Kawaii!" Roll cooed, "Cube Kirin-chan!"
"Cute," Tails agreed as Nicole looked at it.
"Thank you, Kirin," she stated, giving it a small peck on its head, "Time to go." she then looked at Zyuoh King, "Yamato!"
"Huh?" Zyuoh Eagle asked as he made Zyuoh King look to the side and they spotted Nicole.
"Nicole!" Lion gawked.
"..." Nicole then made calculations as she made a pitching movement. She then tossed the cube animal in her hand. And like the rest, it began growing as it flew through the air until it was the size of Zyuoh King's leg.
=CUBE KIRIN~!=
With that, Cube Kirin landed on the ground and gave a cry as its cylinder-like mouth began glowing. It then began to shoot beams of energy at Bowguns, causing large explosions.
"Ah! It fires beams!" Fox exclaimed seeing it from his Mecha.
"You little...Take this!" Bowguns roared as he began to fire repeatedly at Cube Kirin, who began to bounce around, dodging the shots.
"So very nimble, so very quick! Oh, look at how Cube Kirin is jumping so lickety-splick!" Roll exclaimed.
"...Did you have to rhyme?" Tails asked.
"It is adorable," Nicole replied for Roll.
"That's my Shield Sister!" Roll beamed, "Demo...I wonder how it combines?"
"Sugoi…" Eagle awed as Cube Kirin bounced around.
"Awesome, Kirin...Ikuze! Gattai!" Lion roared as Cube Kirin turned around and gave it's own battle cry of agreement.
Cube Kirin then jumped into the sky before its body locked and became stiff while its head pointed up, a handle extending from its neck just below its jaw. Cube Kirin now looked like a giant bazooka as Zyuoh King grabbed the weapon while it connected to the shoulder.
"OH! I see now! Cube Kirin may be smaller, but it holds a lot of power within! Becoming a mighty bazooka to be held be the king, they become…" Roll narrated.
"Zyuoh King, Kirin Bazooka!" the Zyuohgers shouted as Zyuoh King struck a dynamic pose while hefting the Kirin Bazooka up...somehow, a light shone from behind the mecha, making the rest of the area around it darker.
"...I want a toy like that," Tails stated, his tails going nuts as he looked at it with wide eyes.
"...Strange. I thought it would connect as an arm with a spear," Nicole admitted, earning some confused stares from Tails and Roll, "...I think I may have seen something similar in my skimming through news sites." she admitted quickly while turning away...as if out of embarrassment.
"What...now you got a gun, too?!" Bowguns demanded.
"Hey, Eggface! ...Wow so odd saying egg puns and not have it be Eggman." Lion muttered before shaking it off. "Incase you didn't notice, your little needle shooter don't compare to us and our Manly Kirin Bazooka!" he shouted, standing in his seat and flexing his arms...before Kirin Bazooka gave a squeaky sneeze, "...It's still manlier!"
"Leo…" everyone chuckled at that.
"Ikuze, Cube Kirin! Lend us your power!" Zyuoh Eagle shouted.
"Exactly, fight together with us!" Shark agreed.
"Ikuze Kirin!" Lion roared.
Zyuoh King aimed at Bowguns as the Deathgalien unleashed a large barrage of arrows all at once. But Zyuoh King just calmly pulled the trigger of its new Kirin Bazooka and fired a large orange energy ball. The energy ball blew through all the arrows before hitting Bowguns and sending him flying back a good mile from the explosion.
"Tinier than the other cubes, but Cube Kirin holds a ton of power!" Tails gawked.
"Now you must really want a toy of it," Roll teased.
"I advise if you do, don't let it be made by this 'Bandai of America.' It seems they're more...subpar in terms of robot toys," Nicole noted.
"Eh?" they both tilted their heads in utter confusion.
"Nevermind…" Nicole advised.
"Ike!" the Zyuohgers all shouted.
"Tusk, we can't lose out to the others!" Tiger shouted as Cube Tiger fired its pink energy boomerangs at Bowguns.
"Hai!" Elephant nodded as Cube Elephant began shooting its beams at the Deathgalien.
"Gah!" Bowguns cried at the sudden attacks before he was hit with another bazooka blast. He stumbled back before Cube Elephant slammed into his chest. Cube Tiger then jumped past him and slashed with its claws, making the Deathgalien stumble into the lake.
"Don't forget about me," Cube Fox came in Flying as it soon curled in to to a ball and soon spin around making a fire saw in mid air and soon hitting Bowguns face and soon he flew gear and there hitting him in every direction and finally kicking him back.
"Oh, look at Cube fox go, his on fire, littraley. And the blaze saw is amazing." Roll exclaimed.
"Let's end it!" Eagle ordered, taking out his Zyuoh changer and twisting it to the red face before plugging it back into activate the finisher.
"Kita! The hissatsu waza!" Roll cheered as Zyuoh King aimed at Bowguns, "This is going to be a blast!"
"You did not just make that pun," Nicole deadpanned.
"Kirin Bazooka...Zyuoh FIRE!" the three Zyuohger pilots shouted as the energy focused around the barrel before forming a huge mass of orange fire like energy.
It then pulled the trigger as it unleashed its blast with an explosion. The blast of orange energy shot forward before it tore a hole in Bowguns body. Zyuoh King turned around and pointed the Kirin Bazooka as it's barrel smoked.
"But I'm not a target …" After a moment, Bowguns fell over with a cry of defeat before he exploded, causing cubes to rain around Zyuoh King.
"Z-End...I guess." Nicole said as Kirin came off king's arm and landed before her, looking at her, "Umm...are you upset I threw you?"
"I think Kirin-chan thinks you're his Kaa-chan," Roll noted.
"You mean...it imprinted on Nicole due to being well...bonded to her?" Tails figured, "Just like how all the other Cube Animals just kind of like her."
Cube Kirin gave its same battle cry from before while shaking around. It then shrunk down and bounced around the ground, circling around Nicole.
"Shall we all go home?" Nicole asked as the Zyuohgers came back.
"Hey, where's Sonic?"
"Oh, you know him. Once he's not doing anything, he's off to look for excitement...We'll see him on the news or something…"
"Ahh! How'd you catch up to me?!" Sonic snapped, crossing swords with a dog man.
"Sonic the Hedgehog...you are going to Traffic School!" the blue Dog man growled, "You're in a lot of trouble, young man!"
"Catch me first and beat me!" he replied as he engaged further in the sword duel.
"To be honest, this is the most practice you've gotten in months...since we reunited,I had more fight with Sir Fox then you today." Caliburn admitted.
"Oh...your sword talks. Amazing." The Dog Man said before he grabbed Sonic's head and flipped him to the ground.
"This is gonna take half a day." Sonic grunted as he got up, "Let's go."
"I am the Jigoku no Banken...Doggie Kruger!" he greeted with a bow before he tore off his black trenchcoat uniform, revealing his buff body covered in white and blue fur underneath.
"Calburn, we might be here all day."
"...I have no qualms with that. The blade he wields is rather elegant in his hands," Caliburn replied, "Quite a beautiful song she plays as well."
"Let's do this!" Sonic whooped, "Engarde!" he shouted, spin dashing at Doggie.
"Shobu!" Doggie roared, charging at him.
-linebreak-
"Dinner's ready!" Roll beamed as she carried the last of the trays to the table, "I made Haseo-chan's favorite and Extra food for Flash-san today!"
"Now, Tails, you're living with u…" Yamato said before Tails stopped him.
"I am more comfortable living on my own...A crowd isn't my thing and I got so much to work on," he said, "Listen, I also don't think I should be here. I fly on my tails." he reminded, flying a little.
"How does that work?!" Flash demanded.
"I don't know. Haseo and I were just playing together and then it...it just happened," Tails replied, "Also, I think I'll find other Mobians faster on my own. But I'm also concerned about something."
"The possibility the hole we made might have suck in more things from our world?" Nicole asked.
"Logically, yes," Tail agreed, but before he could speak, a spoon full of food was shoved in his mouth along with Nicole.
"Ah...mou enough of that, we won the fight today, you two." Amu pouted. "Now, here's the rules, and no arguments, Tails do your thing but come in time and again to make Yamato happy, but promise you'll call if things get too heavy or you find a Deathgalien somehow...deal? Shake your head yes for deal." she said.
"Amu, take the spoon out of his mouth. You could've choke him." Yamato scolded.
"Hai~"
"...Okay, I'll call…" he said, "Can I get my food to go, please?"
"I will accompany and keep Tails company. I can work with him and keep you all on speed dial, so to speak," Nicole suggested.
"Good." Amu nodded her head in understanding, "Now...you have to promise you'll come back to visit Yamato or so help me, I'll sick Roll on you, Tails." she said with a warm smile...but, for everyone besides Yamato and Flash who was busy watching his meal, it was a smile that made them all shiver in fear. "Or maybe even worse...hehe."
"Your threats will be voided if Tails's sister is here." Nicole advised.
"Nicole." Amu spoke simply.
"Yes?"
"Zip." she said putting her finger on her lips. Nicole tried to talk but Amu just cut her off, "Zip."
"I am being ask to mute myself?" she asked before Kirin glared at Amu. "Calm yourself."
"Zip." Amu smiled, doing it to them both at once just confusing them that time.
"..." Kirin poked its head into the cup of water beside it before squirting a bit at Amu.
"Oh, now you're gonna get it!" Amu smiled happily, not at all angry.
"Amu-chan…" Roll shook her head, "No dessert if you keep going."
"Eh?!" she cried.
"And Leo's in the clear today," Leo smirked as he ate his food while everyone ignored him. He then stole food from Tusk while he was distracted.
"Beside I'm not afraid, we have Flash with us to mach her power." She declared making the hybrid blink in surprise as he stopped eating his food.
"Wait, who are you guys talking about?" He asked confused as chibi Cube Fox came in to view. He went to the table and saw Kirin. He growled making Kirin hid behind Nichole in fright."wow, easy there buddy, he won't do anything." He reassured his partner."so who were you talking about."
"You'll meet her soon. But Flash, please be ready to fight her. She can cause ice to appear and can freeze any one. So you'll be our main defense against her." Amu declared.
"Hah?" Flash tilted his head so did Cube fox.
"You'll meet her later flash." Roll told.
"Wait...You said it happened while you and Haseo were playing…" Yamato noted, slowly looking at Haseo, "Haseo-kun, can you also…?"
"H...hai," Haseo nodded.
"...Ho...I...This doesn't seem physically possible," Yamato shook his head in disbelief.
"But...you can fly...and our wings are barely the size of your own arms. Which is physically impossible as well... Normally to fly, your wings would need to be twice the length of your own body." Amu spoke. "Furthermore, you can take off at top speed from a standing jump. Also Flash is with you. His proof of being half human and mobian aswell. He can manipulate fire and lightning and can harness the energy of the earth to fight and bend at his will." everyone just gawked at that display of intelligence from her, some food even falling out of Leo's mouth.
"Well, all Sonic did was make my tails twist up and I let them go. Been flying ever since," Tails said, "Also…" he said, holding up a wrapped up plate, "Got my plate! Bye!" he quickly before flying off.
"Take care, shield sisters… Be good, Haseo." Nicole bowed as she left.
"Am I the only one still hung up on Amu knowing stuff I didn't?" Leo asked.
"I just read from the books in Yamato's room." Amu explained. "He takes well written and easy to understand notes about animals.Also read the manga which Flash has of The ninja kid who is like Flash but he has a demon inside his belly, what is his name again"
"'Naruto' and also there is 'Baruto: Naruto next generation' Those series and manga are good to read and learn."
"Oh. Can I borrow that to read." Roll asked haseo also wanted to read.
"Sure, I can lend it to you any time." Flash said making Haseo happy.
"Where's Uncle?" Sela noted.
"Huh? Where is he…"
"Oi! Miss Sakurai! I found your kids… Miss Sakurai!" Mario shouted while holding up a sign with Aphrodite's full name on it, "Miss Sakurai! I found your kids, A sweet girl named Roll, and a cute boy named Haseo!" he shouted while walking around downtown, "Oh...ah...my voice...I should have brought cough drops to help me with that...ooh lesson learned for tomorrow." he noted, "I'm done for tonight…" he sighed as he put up his sign. "Ah... times like this, I wish I was younger. Boy, I bet if I had a voice like Leo, I'd be done in no time." he smiled as he took out a water bottle and took a big drink. "Boy, I hope those kids don't get too wild at home with no adults present. Nah...just one more sweep down the block then back home to some tea." he said, passing a woman and two kids sonic's height with the older woman wearing headphones.
"Was that guy calling Mom-2?" Manic asked.
"Couldn't be. He was a total stranger…." Sonia replied while counting the money.
"Come on, Sis. Let me hold the money…"
"All you need is love, love, love. Love is all you need…" Aphrodite sung the song she was listening to under her breath before giggling, 'This world's music is lovely! They even have a song about Love!' she took off her headphones, "They even have songs about Love here. ...Aphrodite likey this world even more."
"Give me the money, sis."
"No!"
"You're gonna spend it on clothes!"
"What are you two doing?" Aphrodite questioned, giving them a frown.
"Um...nothing?" both replied.
"Sonia-chan, the money," Aphrodite did not request, but ordered.
"Yes, Aunt Aphrodite," Sonia replied, handing the cash to her...who proceeded to pull a purse from her cleavage to put it into.
"There we go. Out of sight, out of mind," Aphrodite nodded as she put the purse into her cleavage once more, "Oh, Sonia-chan, Manic-chan, they have songs about love here, too! By a group of beetles, even! Demo..." she tilted her head, "They misspelled 'beetles.'"
"No, mom, it's Beatles… They're saying the word beat and added les." Manic explained.
"Oh. ...Well, I still love that they have a song all about love is all you need," Aphrodite giggled.
"Me, Sis, and Bro will sing you one ourselves when we get the family back together." he assured.
"And my godbaby proves himself the best godbaby once more!" Aphrodite beamed, pulling him into a very tight hug of glee.

The nights life in Tokyo was as vast and full as the day. For every person you see during the day, you can see just as many at night. All either on their way home from another very late night at work, to people just living the night life happily.
"Okay, 1, 2, 3~!" two young men who were performing music on the streets began.
Before they could even sing the first notes, however, a large net fell over them. They tried to get it off them before it began to electrocute them. The net was pulled away into the darkness of the park as suddenly as it was thrown over them. A pair of girls were about to take a selfie together when the net appeared once more, electrocuting them both and pulling them away.
The one responsible was a large imposing alien being. He was wearing what seemed to be a brown trench coat with silver ring patterns all over it. Golden armor covered his chest, neck, and shoulders and appeared to merge with the aliens face as if it were his facial hair. The alien had a black helmet with two horns and a red-ish visor over his eyes. His left shoulder had a large axe blade sticking out of it while his right had a large drum-like piece of armor with a spike extending from the center. He walked down the streets with a net in his hands as he chuckled.
The alien walked over to a group of humans he had captured and trapped in his electro nets. He clapped his hands slowly. The humans slowly stopped their struggling to look at the alien with wide eyes.
"Congratulations!" he spoke in english before he swapped translation system back to Japanese. "You all have been chosen to be my prey in Team Quval's presents the Battle Show!" he greeted as a part of his beard opened to reveal his alien jaw filled with spiky teeth, "And I, Amigard, shall be the announcer, promoter, and draft decider! A triple threat in the industry!" he chuckled.
In our heroes house a certain hybrid was sleeping in his bed with his plushy in his hands. He looked like he was having a strange dream in his mind.
Flash looks around and find him self in a dark void like when he enters spirit bond. He looked around and saw nothing still. He then heard a growl and looked behind and saw his cube fox was in his giant form as he was looking down at him. Flash was surprised by this as he soon heard a voice coming to him. ' Mecha Blaze, Exceed' he heard those words and soon a light shine bring making him cover his eyes.
Flash soon woke up from his dream. He breath in a sign of relief as he looked around to find him self in his room still."Just, what was that dream?" He asked him self.
(Morning)
"Baaa~" he replied happily as he carefully sculpted the curls in a sheep's wool onto the statue. He then held his tool up as Flash gave him another one to finish the detailing.
"Flash, Did you see them any where?" Yamato asked Flash.
"Nope," Flash shook his head
"Haseo, did you?" Yamato asked the young Mobian, mainly since figuring his Uncle a not so useful lead due to being busy.
"I….Iie, Yamato-san," Haseo shook his head
"Ah...I wonder where they went..."
"Oh, they'll be right Baaack." Mario spoke up as he finished, Flash and Haseo giving a tiny laugh at the baa.
"Eh...where did they go?"
"They went to the store. I felt kind of Baaaad for sending two girls to run the shopping for me, and Roll-chan is busy too, so I'm watching Haaaaseo-kun for her. Flaaaaaaash volunteer to look after him." he smiled as he made Flash and Haseo laugh again. "Besides, they said they needed the experience. Boy, I wonder what kind of sheltered life those kids haaaad!" he laughed while tickling Haseo.
"Uncle, I'm going out to check on a friend." he said.
"Oh, is it that smart boy with a 300 IQ?" he asked, "Trust me. Those kinds of kids are hard to reach."
"Hai...well hopefully nothing else goes badly." he said.
"Yamato... Why do you tempt fate so much...." Flash muttered in sarrow.
"Eh?" Yamato asked confused.
"Ugh...why did i have to run into you two?!" a voice snapped as three figures walked along a path.
The first of them was a Mobian red echidna with his head fur pulled into dreadlocks. He had a 'crescent moon on its side' mark on his chest with an open explorer's jacket over his muscular form. He wore a pair of yellow/green shoes with the tops resembling LEGO bricks and a pair of brown jeans. His fingers were wrapped up in sports tape with a pair of fingerless boxing gloves over them to let the two spikes on his knuckles be shown. He wore a brown fedora with three blue buttons with red stars on them on one side and the corner bent on the other side, not really hiding his annoyed eyes.
The second figure was a female, pink hedgehog. She wore both a red hairband and a red one piece top with a white collar, yellow buttons on the her left side and a lavender sarashi around her waist. She also wore white gloves, purple sports tape, and golden ring bracelets around her wrists, purple stockings, and red-violet shoes with pink soles and toes, gray straps and pink plate with two yellow buttons on top.
The second female, and last member of the three, with him was a Mobian nine-tailed fox with soft creamish-white fur with her muzzle a soft ivory. She wore a elegant ice blue kimono with the center a soft snow-white, a few images of a few snow flakes on the hem of her kimono. Her eyes were a ruby-red color while a bit of her head fur hung off her head while she kept the rest in a ponytail, both held together by a ice-blue hairband.
"Sonic crazy fangirl and Tails's stalker... The gods must hate me." the echidna ranted, "What? You got a problem with that, stalker twins?"
"Mmm…" the nine-tailed vixen frowned a bit at him at that, the area starting to get a bit colder before she took a deep breath, the room warming up as she did, "As much as I like to argue with you, Knuckles-san, we need to find out where we are, and see if any other Mobian has appeared here, kyu."
"I'll tell you one thing. It's definitely Sonic's fault. I swear it." Knuckles said, "Every time weird stuff happens, he's at the center of it."
"Hey! It's not always him at the center of it!" the pink hedgehog frowned.
"Name one time we all got dragged into something and he wasn't the cause or somehow involved?"
"Well there was…" the hedgehog began before frowning, "Uh…"
"That's what I thought," Knuckles snorted.
"Mou, don't be mad at Amy-chan or smug just because she can't think of one at the top of her head, kyu."
"And we got lost further thanks to her tarot cards' prediction."
"They haven't steered me wrong yet," Amy argued.
"Yeah. It was at least useful for you when you learned about Fiona," he said as Amy backed away and Miyuki started to strangle Knuckles with her tails.
"I'm sorry, but whose name did you just mention, kyu?" the vixen asked with a very...very unnerving smile.
"Roll! Roll! Roll!" Knuckles gagged out.
"That's what I thought, kyu," The vixen said as her tails released Knuckles.
"This...This is getting pointless. ...I'm leaving." he panted.
"Hey! We should stick together…"
"You girls are slowing me down. Besides you only care about Tails and Sonic. I got more important things to care about," he snorted before he jumped up and began to glide off.
"Why….that...ugh!" Amy exclaimed in annoyance before she sighed a bit, "Out of all the people we had to encounter, Miyuki, why did it have to be him? Why couldn't I run into Sonic?"
"And why couldn't I run into Tails…?"
"...Seriously. I'm sorry if this is offensive..but are you really his sister?" Amy asked.
"Hmm?" The vixen blinked a bit as she looked at the female hedgehog, "Hai. I really am, kyu."
"Acchoo!" Tails sneezed.
"Is this everything?" Sela asked as she and Amu held several bags of groceries.
"I think so. Uncle Mario gave me one list, then Roll gave me another." Amu mumbled, pulling out two lists before she fumbled with the bags a little. "Ah...phew...safe." she sighed as her tail grabbed one of the bags so she could read the list. "Let's see...food...food...Tusk's book, Yamato-kun's work stuff, Flash-san Manga comics, Roll's order from that cloth shop."
"Girls!" Leo shouted catching up to them., "Why didn't you tell me you were shopping? Give me the bags! I'll carry them!" he happily said.
"Aw~ Thanks, Leo!" Amu smiled happily as she handed over all her heavy bags to Leo, who slung them over his arms.
"Sela, give 'em here!" he smiled, holding his hands out. "This way you two can focus on what you need to find." he explained with a big goofy smile.
"Not necessary." Sela stated bluntly as she walked right past Leo.
"Oh...come on, Sela, don't be shy!" Leo replied back with an oblivious smile.
"I'm not." Sela growled back turning to look at Leo.
Leo was about to retort with his own anger...before their tails and Sela's fin rose up. That same tingling traveled up their backs as a sense of danger and blood lust could be felt in the air all over the city.
"Deathgalien?!" Leo spoke first as he turned to where the feeling came from.
"Ikuzo!" Sela shouted.
"Ahh! B-but our bags!" Amu pouted.
"I'm taking them with me!" Leo shouted as he sprinted down the street.
"Mou... I'm calling Yamato!"
"Tusk should be near...hopefully." sela said running after Leo. "That baka is useless if that green woman shows up."
"Rahh! Leo gonna have fun today!" he cheered.
"My tail again.." Knuckles groaned, seeing his tail shoot straight up against his back, "hmm...feels near...in fact right below…" he said as he lost altitude. "Uh-oh…" he realized as he began falling. "Damn this world!"
While the others were feeling this. Some where in the city two eyes were seeing the view of the city. Soon it revealed to belong to a young Fox hub who looked like a baby with black mark over his eyes and orange fur and has two tails. He was looking at view of the city and was soon brought out of it as his tails shot up.
The young fox sense the presence of something dangerous as it soon went to find out about it and left the building.
"Ahh! I got…" Leo started before Knuckles fell on him, the resulting impact knocking him back to his Mobian form.
"Leo, are you ok?" Amu asked as she and Sela caught up.
"Something stupid and hard hit me!" Leo complained.
"I fell on something stupid and hard!" Knuckles shouted.
"...Knuckles?" they all asked.
"Huh? ...Sela, Amu? ...Leo?"
"How you know it was us?"
"Your chaos energy is unmistakable." he grunted, "But it's bigger now… Did you guys get stronger?" he asked as he and Leo stood up.
"Knucks~!" Leo roared, grabbing Knuckles in a bear hug. "Ah thank god! Somebody who understands me is here!"
"You guys know where Sonic is?" Knuckles asked.
"Why?"
"Cause I'm a gonna kill him!"
"Knuckles, what did Eggman tell you this time?"
"You found Eggman?!" Leo asked. "I tell you where Sonic is and you give me Eggman." Leo offered.
Both then found their heads bashed into one another knocking them over.
"Baka-tachi... Sonic is out running around this island nation." Sela explained.
"WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THIS WAS AN ISLAND!?" Sonic shouted as he reached yet another beach, "I'm stuck here!"
"Knave, your tail been erect for a few minutes," Caliburn informed.
"Don't use 'erect.' That sounds dirty...but that also means action!" he grinned before running off.
"Furthermore Knuckles...why?" Sela asked as both were now seated on their knees before Sela.
"Is she still acting like everyone's big sister?" Knuckles asked, only to get the Sela death glare.
"A bit…"
"She does know you're stronger then her, righ…"
"What was that?!"
"Nothing!" Leo and Knuckles shouted in perfect unison, the kind of synch from years of doing this type of bit multiple times.
"Wait...Why am I playing along with this? I don't have time for a comedy act!" Knuckles snapped, "Did you guys see the Master Emerald?"
"What happened to killing Sonic?" Amu asked.
"Next week's plan." Knuckles replied.
"Kay." Amu nodded, "You can find Sonic at dinner at our house sometimes if that helps."
"Amu?!" Sela shouted.
"Oh, you know he can't even do it. He's Knuckles." Amu replied.
"Is that an insult?! Give me a name, a place, and time and I'll beat Sonic!"
"...Leo feels like he forgot something…" Leo said as his tail stayed up.
"..." Sela facepalmed before she reverted to her Mobian form and slapped both Leo and Knuckles, leaving scratches along their faces due to her scales.
"OW!" both shouted.
"No time for your brand of stupidity. We have bigger problems. Deathgalien!" she reminded.
"Sela, you were wasting time scolding them, too, you know." Amu pointed out.
"Amu…" Sela spoke calmly.
"I know...I know…" she sighed as she pointed to the presence of the Deathgalien, "Going…" she pouted, walking off.
"...AH!" Leo roared, making Knuckles and Sela cringe at his voice, "I FORGOT THAT!" he ran off after Amu, "WAIT UP! I'M COMING FOR YOU, YOU ALIEN BASTARD!"
"...Alien Bastard?" Knuckles questioned.
"I'll explain on the way," Sela replied as they ran after them, "Want to punch an alien in the face?!" she shouted/asked as she kept running.
"I need stress relief."
"I'm glad you're finally ready to play, Quval." Ginis smiled.
"I got tired of the stupidity of Azald's players." Quval explained.
"Remember our deal, smart man! When your guy loses, you owe me a solid hundred!" Azald shouted. "Two hundred if the blue rat messes with him!"
"And like I said, in the event a random new beast thing gets involved, your deal is null and you owe me 300." Quval reminded.
"Hmm…" Ginis said, "Naria, what have you learn about these...things anyway?"
"They are definitely not from this world. They're visitors...I've stolen files from that...Nicole." Naria explained, adding much venom to her voice when saying 'Nicole'.
"Don't worry, my dear. You're still my number 1 secretary...Nicole just has a high chance of being of your coworker after I'm done with her." Ginis replied. "Anyway, you were saying?"
"From what I could gather, their world is called Mobius."
"As in a Mobius strip?"
"Uncertain." She replied. "Coincidental maybe."
"Aliens...can be very weird." Ginis shrugged his shoulders.
"Here's what got my attention; a human named 'Eggman' ruled over them for a few years, so them working with humans and defending them seems stupid to me."
"I would be more amused if they were at war." Ginis explained. "But, as far as I see it, Earth and this Mobius are linked, in some interdimensional manner, so that means...we destroy earth, we can destroy Mobius. That means we got ourselves a Two for One type game, my players. Let's make it even more worth it." he said with a dark chuckle. "Is there anything of interest about this Eggman?"
"Not really. He only wants to conquer, but Nicole has something listed as 'Priority threat to Freedom Fighters' among his weaponry."
"Oh…?" Ginis asked leaning in. "I think we have something to look into, don't you agree, Naria?" he asked with a happy chuckle.
"Ahahaha! Look at how he forced those two humans who are 'married' into fighting each other!" Azald laughed at the screen. "That was actually the easiest one...humans are so simple minded." he muttered scratching his rear.
"Yes...humans are simple minded." Quval muttered as he backed away.
"Oh. He's starting another round," Ginis noted, taking a sip of his drink.
"You two will be fighting to escape this stage," Amigard explained to the two musicians as he dropped them into a ring which was blocked off by spikes and a small bordering useless net.
"Fight? Us?"
"Like we ever would!" the other snapped as he ran to the edge of the open stage...only to scream as he was sent back, sparks coming off him.
"Only the one who fights, and wins, can escape," Amigard explained as all the people he had captured were looking on in terror, "Now, steel yourselves!"
"Gomen...Yuuji…" the Musician that didn't run into the electric field said with much regret as he stood back up. He then swung at his friend who was able to duck out of the way in time.
"No...stop...yamero." he tried to reason with his friend only for his 'friend' to attack him and punch him across the face, sending him falling into the center of the ring.
"Good...Good!" Amigard chuckled as he watched the musician fight one another. He could see the regret, the tears in their eyes. He saw the pain this was inflicting them, the conflicting pain between choosing loyalty and survival.
"So, what do you think, Ginis-sama?" Quval asked as Ginis got a new chalice of wine, "Team Quval presents the Battle Game?"
"Very nice." Ginis spoke with a chuckle in his voice "Seeing two friends betray each other, and suffer from that treachery, while fighting…" he took a sip of his wine, "A truly perverse idea. It goes quite well with this wine." he chuckled.
Leo and the others quickly found their way to the riverside amphitheater where Amigard was holding his little game. All four of them stopped and stared in shock at seeing the two human musicians forced to fight each other like that, the humans all trapped, and Amigard at the center of it all, laughing at this like a bad joke.
"What the heck?" Knuckles raised a brow.
"What the..?" Leo asked as he saw this. "This...this is different from the last two."
The two musicians roared as they performed a cross counter on each other. Yuuji groaned before he collapsed onto his back, a black eye on his face.
"Very nice," Amigard chuckled before holding the arm closer to the standing musician up, "The winner is released!"
A Moeba walked over and grabbed the 'winner' of the two. It proceeded to pull him away from the ring as Amigard walked over to the 'loser.' He held up his golden double headed axe and pointed it at Yuuji. A golden beam shot from the axe and to Yuuji before encasing him in a large barrel.
"W-Wait! What'll happen to Yuuji?" the musician asked.
"He shall travel space for the rest of eternity...because of you." Amigard explained with a sinister laugh.
"I don't think so!" everyone turned to see Leo, Amu, Sela, and Knuckles, the former three holding their Zyuoh Changers while the latter pulled out a pair of curved steel swords.
"Honoo Kakusei!" the three called out flashing right into their Zyuohger forms.
"Whoa," Knuckles was only slightly surprised, since Sela had explained this part as well during the sprint to this location, but this was still his first time seeing it.
"Zyuohgers...ara...I was lead to believe your red-colored member was an Eagle." Amigard muttered, looking at Knuckles.
"Shut up and let me beat you into a volcano."
"He can make them erupt. Trust us." Tiger said.
"God damn it!" Azlad groaned, taking out 300.
"Ah, what a lucky bet." Quval muttered, counting the money.
"Damn you, universe!" Azald cursed, banging another indent into the wall.
"You're welcome." Ginis replied...whether jokingly or seriously was unknown.
"Ikuze!" Lion roared as he lead the charge.
"Attack, Moebas!" Amigard ordered as the grunts charged at them.
Shark and Tiger attacked first in unison. They knocked the alien grunts out of the path as Lion rushed them and jumped at Aimgard who blocked his kick with his battle axe. Amigard knocked Lion aside before he blocked a swing from Knuckles. Amigard groaned before pushing the swords away, but was then punched across the face, making him back away.
"Knuckles! You go left; I go right!" Lion roared as they both charged.
"Bring it on!" Knuckles roared.
Amigard blocked Knuckles's swords again, only for Lion to jump and land a kick to his face. Knuckles then used this opening to push the alien back. Both then stepped forward and punched Amiard to the face at the same time, sending him flying back and into the seats of the Amphitheater. Shark pulled out her Zyuoh Buster Sword Mode as she slashed her way past several Moabas. Tiger did the same but used gun mode to shoot each Moaba Shark cut down.
"Amu, I got this!" Shark shouted as she cut down two Moebas. "Go get the people out of here!" she ordered.
"Got it!" Tiger saluted as she pistol whipped a Moeba behind her. She then swapped her Zyuoh buster to sword mode as she began slicing the nets and freeing everyone.
Amigard saw this and he twitched. He growled and grabbed Knuckles by his head before throwing him into Lion, sending them both tumbling over.
"Do you know how much work I went to, just to catch them?! Finding humans in such chummy pairs like that took all night!" Amigard complained as he pulled out another net and tossed it at Tiger.
"Amu!" Shark and Lion said at the same time as they both rushed and pushed Tiger out of the way; but ended up bumping into one another in the process, and left them stuck there as the electrified net fell over their heads.
"Sela! Leo!" Tiger gasped as the two collapsed, their armor vanishing. She moved to help them only for a Moeba to attack her, taking her by surprise.
"Two at once…" Amigard chuckled, "Perhaps my luck has turned around on me. Congratulations to me!"
"Ah!" Tiger gasped as a ring of light formed around him, with Sela and Leo in the same ring.
"Huh?" Knuckles asked as he punched a Moeba into the river. "Hey Leo!" he shouted, seeing him out cold.
"Bye and good riddance!" Amigard said as the light began to glow and slowly began teleporting them out of the area.
"Sela, Leo!" Tiger called out as the flash sent all three away. "They're gone…" she gasped.
"Where did they go?" Knuckles asked as he twisted the head of a Moeba around a 180 degrees.
"I don't know…" Tiger pouted, tapping the barrel with her blade in her pouting.
In her tapping, the tip of the blade poked a red button on the barrel. It glowed before vanishing, letting Yuuji collapse on his back. Tiger, seeing this, crouched down to check on him as Knuckles rubbed his eyes.
"Barrel...gone...how?" he asked dumbfounded. "What kind of barrel was that?" he asked.
"Oi...you okay?" Tiger asked in worry before she looked around. "Aw man...why today of all days."
Unnoticed to her the entire scene was sawn by the Young Fox as it looked at them from the sides.
"Amigard has captured two Zyuohgers!" Naria exclaimed happily as Azald slowly pulled his head free to turn to the screen.
"Well then Quval, I assume you know what I want to see next right?" Ginis muttered as he leaned his head on his hand.
"But of course, Ginis-sama, leave it to me. I'll ensure the next match is to your liking." Quval bowed as he walked off.
"Eh?" Yamato gawked in surprise as he got a phone call from Amu. "Sela and Leo were taken?!" he shouted before covering his mouth.
=Hai...and I also already kind of lost Knuckles= Amu added. =He said something along the lines of…= she paused to clear her throat before she spoke up in her best impersonation of a boys voice ='I got this,' then he ran off= her impersonation wore off rather quickly.
"Your friends all sound...colorful." Yamato muttered.
"Knuckles is an utter idiot." Tusk spoke up while folding his laundry...which was just copy upon copy of his normal outfit. "But he's good with sensing energy, so if anything he'll find them...if he doesn't get lost….ah damn it. Now I hate myself." Tusk groaned, pinching the bridge of his human form nose.
"Why? How many times has he gotten lost?" Flash asked helping in the laundry work
"As many times as he's been tricked by Eggman." Tusk explained, "Or, a more appropriate one, as many times as Leo roars."
"We're on our way to help!" Yamato said quickly hanging up as he and Tusk ran for the door, opening it and passing Roll on the way out. "Sorry ,Roll, gotta go! Sela and Leo are kidnapped! We have to find them! We'll be back by dinner!"
"Don't let Knuckles into this house!" Tusk added.
"...You guys found Knuckles-san?" Roll asked before the rest registered to her mind, "Eh, Sela and Leo are kidnapped?!"
"Don't tell Uncle Mario!" Flash's voice shouted as Zyuoh Fox began to run on trees and Zyuoh Eagle flew off, carrying Tusk.
"Ah mou…" Roll sighed before going inside, "I'm back!"
"Welcome baaaack!" Mario bleated, "I just finished your order!"
"Oh! Mario-san, you...you're making sheep bleats with your sentences?" Roll giggled.
"I knew she'd like it Haaaaseo!" Mario bleated again as Haseo giggled while standing next to him. "You Saaaakurai's are sure sweet." he smiled patting Haseo's head gently. "By the way, Roll, where did you go so early in the morning anyway?" he asked as Haseo nodded in agreement, wanting to know as well.
"Eto...well... the thing about that…" Roll muttered, scratching the back of her head, "I just had to take care of something important."
Both just shrugged at that before walking back into the workshop. Mario helped Haseo into the chair next to the work table before Mario himself sat down and they worked on the carved sheep. This time, the two were painting it.
"Well, Roll-saaaan!" Mario called out as he motioned to some carved furniture, and some that looked like some of his other furniture was made using branches themselves to give a certain style to them. "I have them most all done. With the Help of Flaaaaaaash, The bigger things like tables will take more time to make," he explained as he gently grabbed Haseo's hand and helped him with painting. "Just like this. Don't press too hard, gently now Haseo-kun." he advised calmly.
"H...hai, Mario-san," Haseo nodded as he carefully moved the brush on the sculpture.
"Good." Mario smiled patting his head. "hmm...Sela and Amu are taking forever with the shopping. And they have everything we need for dinner." he muttered, making Roll freeze at the mention of their names. "I figured it'd go faster when Leo left to help them."
"Eh...Leo went to help?" Roll asked.
"Ah yes, I must admit that boy was raised right." Mario muttered, "He's a bit loud and boisterous, but darn if under those dreadlocks, muscles and more muscles is a right good boy." he chuckled, "Like you, Haseo-kun!" he joked, tickling him.
Roll looked out at the two, smiling a bit of a bittersweet smile at the two. For a brief moment, Roll could see Mario replaced with a hedgehog, his quills as golden as her fur and eyes like her own with a hint of chocolate.
'Otou-san...I'm sure you would have loved Haseo-kun just as much as Kaa-chan and I do…' Roll thought before her hands clenched tightly, 'Eggman...You'll pay for what you did...I have to make you pay…Even if he sees me as...' she shook her head, "Ano...when did they leave, Mario-san?"
"Hmm...about an hour ago...give or take." he muttered. "Leo left like 20 minutes after them when I told him." he added in more detail. "He said, 'Eh, I need to go help them carry the heavy stuff! Wait for Leo!'" he chuckled, copying Leo's voice the best he could and earning a laugh from the Sakurai-siblings.
"That does sound like Leo-san," Roll shook her head, "May I borrow the phone to call Yamato-san or Flash-san? He might be near them."
"Oh, of course." Mario nodded. "We'll be here goofing around." he added as he and Haseo went back to what they were doing.
"Arigatou," Roll nodded, walking over to the phone in the kitchen and giving Haseo a light kiss as she passed by him, "Now let's see…" she picked up the phone and pulled out a slip of paper from her cleavage, "I am so glad we checked to see if we can call them using normal phones...Arigatou, Nicole-chan yet again."
=Moshi-moshi=
"Konnichiwa, Yamato-san. Leo-san, Amu-chan, and Sela-san aren't back here yet and I was wondering if you knew what happened," Roll questioned.
=Is that Roll?!= Tusk's voice asked.
=Hai, she's asking about the others!= Yamato responded.
=Tell her to call back when we're not flying through the air as 200 miles per hour!= Tusk complained. =Tell her to call Amu...YAMATO JET!=
=Eh...Oh...sorry!=
=Roll...please call Amu...we are busy right now, and I think I'm about to have some kind of panic attack!=
"Hai, Tusk-san," Roll nodded before handing up and then dialing Amu.
=Hai, Moshi-moshi, Amu-desu!= Amu replied in a cute tone.
"Mu-chan, is everything okay? Mario-san and Haseo-chan say you've been gone for a lot longer than you needed to," Roll noted.
=Oh that's right! Sela and Leo got kidnapped by a Deathgalien.=
"Eh?!"
=Shhh!= Amu shushed, =If you're at home, don't let Uncle Mario know, Roll-chan=
"Hai...hai...Ano...Oh! I want you to find Flash-san, Tusk-san and Yamato-san, Amu-chan," Roll advised, "When you do, have them meet me at the cafe. I have an idea on how to find Sela-san and Leo-san."
=Ooh you're thinky! I like it when Roll is thinky! Oh...We also have to find Knuckles-kun. We found him, then he said: I got this, and ran off to find them...but that was 20 minutes ago...and he flew off in a random direction...glided...glode...he glides…= she rambled.
"Hai," Roll nodded.
Zyuoh Fox ran over the buildings and was trying to sense where the others aura were but he couldn't focus much.
"Dang it not good, I can't pin point there place," He muttered," I still haven't master this but I gotta try to fin-."
"Kyu"
He stopped as he heard something, He looked around the roof of the building and soon spotted a Baby Fox looking at him. Zyuoh Fox blinked behind his helmet as he and the fox looked back at one another. Zyuoh Fox looked and examined the fox and saw it has Two tails instead of one.
"Wow.." He muttered," Either your a mobian Fox who came from the cube like the others, Or your some rare Fox hub with two tails.."
"Kyu.." The fox answered as it soon came towards Zyuoh Fox and looked at him.
Zyuoh Fox picked him up gently and examined him," Well.. your one mysterious Fox,B-But Your gonna be talked later. Right now I need to find my friends."
"Kyu,Kyu."
"Wait, you know what happened to them." The young Fox nodded." Ok can you help me then." The Fox nodded again.
"This way...no...that way!" Knuckles shouted as he ran around the street. "Uh nope...that's not right...why are there so many people in the middle of the street?!" he shouted stuck in the middle of Tokyo's famous crosswalk human traffic, "Ugh...I swear I'm gonna hurt Sonic for dragging us into this!"
"Honey, that man in the weird furry suit is scaring me a bit," a woman whispered to the man next to him.
"I'm not weird!" Knuckles shouted.
"Ahh!" the two yelped as they ran off.
"Yeah, you better keep running!" Knuckles shouted as he shook a fist at them, "Wait...what was I doing...ah right. Sela! Leo!" he shouted. "If you can hear this!?" he shouted before punching the ground, causing most of the block to tremor. "Then do that flashy thing so I can sense you!" he waited a good few seconds. "You're not doing it!"
"Wow...I was wondering what all the noise was about." Sonic spoke up, standing on a light pole as he looked down at Knuckles. "We...we don't have to keep you at Yamato's, do we?"
"Aha! You're in this giant metal box thing, aren't you?!" Knuckles shouted, punching a car door before yanking it off. "No...but this thing does look comfy...what is this? A mobile home?"
"...It's a car, Knucks," Sonic deadpanned.
"Huh?" Knuckles raised a brow as he looked up, "..."
"Now just calm down so w-WOAH!" Sonic yelped as he jumped off the lamp post just before the car door Knuckles threw could hit him, "The heck, man?!"
"Don't give me that crap! You're the reason we're stuck in this world to begin with!" Knuckles snapped at him.
"Hey! This time it so wasn't my fault! See what happened was I was fighting Eggman, he made a bomb that would have leveled the city, so we dumped it into the Link Cube." he explained
"You did what?!" Knuckles asked, "You...you destroyed another precious treasure of Mobius?!"
"Oh, it's not broken...well not by that anyway. It was broken by an evil alien." Sonic chuckled. "Oh...well when said like that...yeah."
"Sonic...Imma MURDER YA!" Knuckles shouted as he punched at Sonic, who ducked under it.
"Whoa! Whoa! Stop! Stop!" Sonic called out, "What about Sela...and Leo?! You're looking for them, right? Don't you want to save your friends?!" he asked, jumping over a punch that knocked a car into the horizon. "Hey, think of it like this, what'll you do when you do come home and Leo's Moms ask what happened to him?"
"I'll think about that as I tear you apart!" he snapped, taking out his swords.
"Okay, touche...but I have a retort; if you want to fix the Link Cube to go home, you need them and their Kings Credentials!" Sonic countered, "Which I assume with them gone means half the cubes we need are missing, and do you, Knuckles, of all people want to be responsible for three ancient treasures of our world to be lost in a different world? Think about it, Knucks…"
"So you want them for yourself!"
"...Knave, I think his rage has blinded him." Caliburn said as he saw Knuckles charged in.
"Yeah. I kind of figured...wait." Sonic muttered, "Don't you want to beat me to them?" Sonic asked, making Knuckles skid to a stop.
"What?"
"I'm going to find Leo and Sela first and get them before you. Heh, I bet you can't even find them, huh?" Sonic asked as he pretended to check his fingernails, "I mean, you could never beat me in finding them. I'm so much better at finding treasure then you are."
"Knave?" Caliburn asked before he noticed Knuckles looked even more pissed.
"You're better then me?! Hah! that's a laugh! I can find them with my eyes closed! I'll beat you to finding them before you even get a chance to take your first step!" Knuckles shouted.
"Bingo." Sonic chuckled to himself, his provocation of Knuckles working as he planned, "Bring it on!" He was about to take a step when a net came over him and Knuckles, "What?!"
*BZZZZZZZZRT!*
"I knew following the red one was a good idea," Amigard laughed as he reeled in the net before he hoisted both of them up, "Now I have the blue thing that has been the ire to Azald-sama and I have another of these beast things." he laughed before his teleportation ring formed in front of him.
"You're making quite a few dents, Azald," Quval noted as he watched the block alien hit the wall once more.
"Ah!" Azald cried in anger.
"Well, Azald, take solace in your players all being very powerful." Naria offered.
"And yet none could catch the blue one that steals their weapons," Quval chuckled.
"Hahaha...now we can see 4 Mobians in the ring." Ginis chuckled. "This will indeed be very fun. From what I can gather, all 4 of them are friends. Quval, I think this next round should be a free for all round...if you catch my drift."
"Of course, Ginis-sama. I shall inform Amigard at once. The next battle game will be the biggest yet." Quval bowed his head.
"Naria, be sure to record this one for later viewing," Ginis added as Quval left to talk with his Player, "Azald...you keep doing what you're doing." he said to the blocky alien as he went back to banging his head on the wall, "Naria."
"Yes, Ginis-sama," Naria nodded as she put up a plaque by the dents reading 'Azald's Wall of Dents Mini-game.'
"Ah...ow, my head…" Leo groaned waking up as he found himself looking at a high ceiling with bright lights flashing down on him. "Heaven?" he asked before he sat up and found himself in a boxing/wrestling ring, "It is heaven!" he shouted as he shot up.
"Leo, don't touch the rope!" Sela's voice called out as Leo did just that and was sent flying back by an electric shock.
"Gah...that hurt!" Leo groaned, "Not heaven...so not heaven! Heaven shouldn't hurt Leo! Wait!" he grabbed his tail and looked at it, "The tail is okay!"
"Ugh...what's with the screaming? ...I'm trying to sleep over here." Knuckles groaned.
"No wonder your emerald gets stolen so often," Sonic chuckled.
"Sonic!" Sela called out, helping him up.
"Knuckles's nap time is over! Time to bust free!" Leo shouted, kicking Knuckles awake.
"Ow!" Knuckles grunted, "Hey! What's th...Ah-hah! I found you both!"
"Oi, Knuckles, later. First things first, get out of here," Sonic sighed before he realized Caliburn was gone, "Caliburn?"
"This is rather humiliating," Sonic looked to the seats to see Amigard, some Moebas, and Caliburn stabbed into a rock that was being carried by two Moebas.
"Hello, Mobian-tachi." Amigard greeted as he held up Knuckles swords. "Good morning and welcome to...THE BATTLE GAME!" he declared over surround sound, making all 4 of them cover their ears with Sela getting the worse of it. "You four friends will be trapped in that White Jungle Ring, where you are to fight each other to the bitter end! Four go in, one comes out on top!"
"Yeah, right! Like we're gonna play your stupid game. Ikuze, Sela!" Leo shouted as he reached for his Zyuoh Changer he often hid in a hidden pocket in his shawl...but he pulled out nothing but air, "Eh…?" he blinked, taking off his shirt and waving it around to try and get his changer, "It's gone?!"
"Yoo~ hoo~" Amigard called, pulling out a tiny net with Sela and Leo's changers along with another net holding Knuckles's two swords.
"Our stuff!" Leo shouted.
"My stuff!" Sonic shouted.
"Their stuff!" Knuckles shouted, "And mine!"
"Idiots…" Sela sighed.
"So here's the thing, Mobians; fight. Tear each other apart. It should be easy enough. Two of you are carnivores, after all." Amigard spoke, motioning to Sela and Leo. "And two of you seem to be empowered by...whatever." he motioned to Knuckles and Sonic. "So, all four of you fight to the end, and the winner can go free with all of the prizes."
"...heh. Good luck. As if we.." Sonic began before Knuckles glared at him, "...Uh...knucks?"
"...I've been waiting a LONG time for this," Knuckles smirked as he cracked his...well, knuckles.
Knuckles then swung a punch at Sonic, only for Sela to grab his arm and use his own strength against him to toss him over her shoulder. Sela then quickly spun and twisted him around before she wrenched his arm behind his back and pinned it down with her foot, pinning Knuckles to the ground in under 10 seconds.
"That's enough of you idiots." she sighed, "Look we can't get out of this by playing to his game."
"Sela's right, it's clear we should just fake it, and let someone get out of here." Leo spoke. "So, we take a dive and Sela saves us."
"Why me?" Sela asked.
"Duh, cause you're less likely to get hurt that way." Leo pointed out, "So me, Sonic, and Knuckles take a dive, you win, and then you get us out of here! You don't get hurt, we get to go home, and kick Deathgalien ass...perfect!"
"Why don't I take the dive and you go save us?!" Sela countered.
"Ahahaha...that's funny, Sela." Leo chuckled. "I mean I couldn't beat you anyway."
"She...is really good at this...oof!" Knuckles groaned from the pressure to his arm.
"Come on, Sela. What does it matter who wins anyway?" Sonic asked. "I mean skill wise you are the better of us here. You did win the martial arts contest last year." he reminded, making her flinch. "Yeah, I'm fast and Knuckles is strong, so is Leo, but hey you won. That has to count for something."
"He's right!" Leo agreed. "So that means even if we did go all out, you'd beat us! So come on and just pretend you won."
"...What?"
"Oh, why did you say it like that…?" Sonic facepalmed.
"What? This is all some stupid Deathgalien game, so it don't mean anything at all." Leo pointed out. "I mean, Sela won the real thing back home. You all saw it, in the final round she won!"
"Yeah...she did...ugh...ah...cramp! Cramp!" Knuckles complained, tapping Sela's leg to get her to release his arm.
"Yeah. It was pretty neat. I mean, you had her on the edge until she managed to turn it around," Sonic nodded, "You two sent a strike at each other with Sela doing a punch and you an open palm, but Sela's hit first."
"That's right...besides this is the only way, if we don't do this we'll all just be stuck in here!" Leo shouted. "So come on, Sela, just stop thinking over nonsense and fight!"
"You're wrong," Sela's fists clenched.
"Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!" Knuckles repeated quickly from the tighter grip.
"What do you mean?" Sonic asked.
"Leo threw the fight," Sela narrowed her eyes at the disguised lion, "You took it easy on me, just because I'm a girl."
"Uh...I...don't know what you're..." Leo muttered turning away and crossing his arms,
"I knew it," Sela scowled.
"A guy shouldn't kick a girl's butt!" Leo argued.
"Wait, what?!" Sonic gawked.
"Leo, not cool!" Knuckles grunted in pain.
"Urusei!" Leo shouted back, "A man…" he muttered as he placed his fist to his heart, "A man is suppose to protect a girl." he said in a proud voice as if quoting somebody.
"...I seriously hate that." Sela said in a low tone as she let go of Knuckles's arm.
"Oh thank the emerald…" Knuckles groaned in relief.
"Huh?" Leo looked over at Sela.
"I hate that sort of thing! You've always been like this!" Sela snapped, "Back at that martial arts tournament, you stopped your palm just before it could hit me!"
"Ah...uh…" Leo muttered, trying to look away.
"Ooh...drama...love it." Ginis spoke, raising the volume.
"Popped corn, Ginis-sama?" Naria offered.
"Yes!"
"I couldn't be proud of a fake victory like that!" Sela snapped at Leo.
"That is really not cool, Leo," Sonic nodded, "Tournaments are supposed to be for going all out to respect each other."
"Hnnnn…" Leo groaned, "Ah, I know that!" Leo roared, shaking the arena. "But...how can I just go and do that…? How can I turn my back on every lesson my old man drilled into me?!" he roared back at them, "I don't care what you say or how you see it! To me, that is what my heart says is the right thing! That's all that matters to me!"
"This is strangely familiar to me," Caliburn admitted, "But the gender of the one saying what Leo's saying was different."
"Yes, yes, entertaining, but I didn't put you in this ring to hash out personal problems!" Amigard spoke as all four Mobians were shocked, making them all fall to the ground in pain. "If none of you fight, I'll disqualify all of you and trap you forever in barrels to be launched into the sun!"
"The sun?!" Sonic exclaimed.
"It's payback for your friend, Nicole the Holo Lynx, almost doing the same to our ship." Amigard explained.
"I had nothing to do with that…" Knuckles coughed, rolling back to his feet.
"Is she an acquaintance?"
"Yeah."
*BZZZRT*
"THEN YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO DO WITH IT!"
"Ah...damn it, Knuckles…" Sonic groaned, his quills now in an afro from the zap.
"We have no choice…" Sela groaned getting up. She then cast a glare at Leo as he looked up at her. "Leo...I'm going to fight you seriously...you better do the same. And for the record...I'll know if you hold back!"
"Sela…" Leo groaned.
"Come on, guys...we can think of something." Sonic grunted before Knuckles lifted him up.
"There's only one way out, Sonic." Knuckles grunted. "And I'm not getting in the way of their drama...so you and me!"
"Wha-Knuckles?!" Sonic yelped as Knuckles slammed Sonic's back right onto his knee, "GUH!" Knuckles then threw Sonic away from the lion and shark before charging at the hedgehog.
"..." Leo slowly got up as he glared at Sela. "Alright...you want me to go all out...then you better be ready to die for what you want." Leo growled as he reverted to his mobian form before he swung his first forward.
Sela was able to block with her arms, but the force of Leo's arm still sent her skidding back across the ring almost hitting the electrified ropes. She grabbed his wrist with an arm before shooting her other at Leo, who moved his head out of the way just barely. He looked back at her, revealing a cut on his face. He wiped it before the two began to fight.
"It took a while, but now they are finally going at it." Naria noted.
"Yes, but that was what made it worth it. The truth and problems of their friendship boiling forward to be revealed," Ginis spoke, as he slowly stood up towering over those present. "That's what makes this sort of thing truly amusing!" he laughed, "Why...just imagine if it had been two lovers in the same ring! Ones with such a tender relationship that was on the verge of snapping due to purposeful ignorance on one end! Seeing such turmoil...would provide a real good thrill!"
"Hehe...yes, and to think, the winner will have to know they let themself loose control and cost their friends' lives," Quval added, "The guilt will eat them alive and in the end...no one would win."
Leo grabbed a kick from Sela before he used it as leverage to knocker her down. The Lion Mobian jumped as he slammed a punch on the ground that she was at. He missed because Sela rolled out of his fist's path and got back up. Meanwhile, Knuckles continued swinging his fists at Sonic, who dodged all of them, before the blue hedgehog jumped off one of the ring's posts and slammed a drop kick to Knuckles, sending him stumbling back across the ring.
All four continued their fights while the Deathgaliens enjoyed watching them fight one another.
"Okay, why did you drag us here?" Tusk asked as the looked at the bare cafe.
"Roll-chan! I brought them except I couldn't find Flash but the others yes!" Amu called before Roll ran over.
"Yatta!" Roll beamed before pulling out three plastic bags, "Tusk-san, we need your nose."
"What? My nose?" Tusk repeated before seeing the contents of the bags, "Are...Are those…?"
"Their socks, hai," Roll nodded.
"Soka, Tusk's nose is so sharp he can pick up any specific scent." Yamato spoke. "That means if we let him sniff someone's scent, then he can find them!"
"EH! No way! No! I'm not a bloodhound!" Tusk complained.
"Hai! You're a bloodelephant!" Amu beamed.
"Why do I have to smell their socks?! Couldn't I just, like, sniff their pillows...or anything else?!"
"It can't be helped!" Yamato called out as he grabbed one of Leo's, "Now sniff Leo's sock!"
"EH!?" he shouted, backing into a wall. "No way...never!"
"Then Sela's!" Amu held up another sock.
"Never!"
"Sonic's it is!" Roll held up the last one...which made Yamato and Amu gag and move away, "What? He runs all day. Of course it's going to stink the most of the three."
"Even still...he can't sniff Sela's...that has its own problems..." Yamato muttered, looking at the innocent Amu, "Tusk...you have to choose the lesser of two...three evils!" Yamato spoke as Tusk looked between all of them before he grabbed Leo's sock.
Tusk paused for a moment before steeling his resolve and drawing on every ounce of bravery within him before he held the sock within smelling distance.
"Stop what your doing!" Flash yelled coming in.
'Oh Thank The Kami!' Tusk mentally shouted in relief.
"Flash-san Your back, So did you find a way to find the others." Roll asked him.
"Yeah.. Some one can help us find them." Flash told as he pointed down towards his feet as the others looked at what his pointing at and saw a young baby fox. It's only poked it's head out to see them all.
"Kyu.." It's spoke soon coming in to view as the others saw it.
Yamato blinked many times seeing the Young Fox. It had two tails and instead of a squeak it says 'Kyu' before he could question what it is? He felt a wind blew by him and the others as the young Fox was not there. The other boys turn and saw the young fox being looked over by Amu and Roll as they had hearts in there eyes.
" KAWAIIII~!" They yelled holding the young fox up and soon holding it on there hand.
"OH, Who So Cute hear!" Amu spoke."You are, Yes you are!" She said in baby voice.
"Where did you find this adorable little thing." Roll asked Flash as she held the fox close to her impressive chest. The fox only looked confused.
"Well, More like He found me." Flash said scratching the back of his head." I was busy finding the others were than suddenly this little guy was there. He knows where the others are." He explained.
"Hontō!" Yamato and Tusk asked. Meanwhile the girls were cooded the Fox.
"Ok you two, let Ki go now." He told the girls making them girls wine a bot as he grab the fox from roll and pull him but roll was holding on to him. He pulled many times and finally she let go.
"Ki?" The other three asked in confusion.
"Yeah, well he needed a name and I couldn't call him it, cause the movie was scary" he joked on the last part but the others didn't laugh," Well it's a tuff crowed. Any way we need to find the others first so for that." He put Ki down as ki looked around." Please help us find our friends."
Ki looked at Flash and nodded and soon it went out of the store." Fallow the fox, who ever finds the others first will get to keep him as there."
"MINE!" Amu and Roll shouted and went off in a blur leaving a very baffled Yamato.
"I have so may questions, But I'm just gotta wait and after we're done were gonna get the answers." Yamato muttered and the boys soon went off.
Sonic grunted as he was thrown against the post of the ring. He was able to raise his arms and block Knuckles's double punch. Knuckles then grabbed Sonic by his collar before spinning him around and tossing him into the middle of the ring. Sonic grunted as he rolled with the force before both charged at one another. Knuckles reared his arm back to punch, only for Sonic to jump and slam a side kick to the Echidna's chest, sending him tumbling back and against the ropes.
Leo roared as he grabbed a punch from Sela before he spun around and used the same trick as her and used her own momentum against her before he tossed her over his shoulder and slamming hard into the mat. Sela grunted getting back up as she charged at Leo, she began swinging punch after punch but Leo blocked each one before he swung his arm and hooked it around her neck and brought her into a headlock.
"Oi Leo!" Sonic called, out only to be surprised when Knuckles locked his arms around his waist.
"Ah!" Knuckles shouted as he fell back while curving his legs and back and slammed Sonic headfirst into the mat with what humans call the German Suplex.
Knuckles grabbed Sonic's leg before slipping him over to his back. The red Echidna then jumped and slammed his knee into Sonic's chest, making him cough in pain. Knuckles raised his fist and punched down only for Sonic to move his head out of the way letting the fist hit the mad. Sonic took this opening as he slammed his foot into Knuckles's back, sending him stumbling headover heels and off Sonic. Both grunted and got back up before Sonic sped forward and tackled Knuckles into the ropes, causing them both to get shocked and fall over.
Leo roared as he spun Sela around and tossed her down to the mat. The Shark girl grunted in pain from the repeated body throws, that Leo had been using to overpower her and use his superior size against her. No matter the amount of blows Leo took them and used it to get in close to overpower her. Said Lion Mobian grabbed Sela by her shoulder and forced her to stand back up. Leo growled before Sela was able to push his arm away, she punched at Leo who was able to block the fist with his palm. With the punch deflected, Leo's arm raised as he gripped his claws around her throat/gills. Sela gasped for air as Leo pulled her close.
"Is that all you've got?!" Leo asked as he pushed her clear across the ring and up against the ropes.
Sela gasped for air as she slowly pulled herself back to her feet. She looked up at the panting Leo as he wiped one of the bleeding scratches on his face. Leo's fur was unable to block out the scratching from Sela's scales, as seen from his clothes looking more roughed up and cuts all over his arms and face.
"Looks like it's winding down," Amigard chuckled.
"Sorry, Sela!" Leo looked at his claws, "This is it for you!"
"Don't do it, Leo!" Sonic called out only for Knuckles's punch to finally land as he struck Sonic across the face, sending him tumbling over. "Ow...that hurt…"
Leo roared as he extended his claws while he rushed in with a palm thrust attack. Sela shouted as she closed her fist and aimed a punch right for Leo's face. Time slowed as both got within striking range. Amigard watched with baited breath as this looked like the final attack from this pair.
"SELA! LEO!" Yamato's voice shouted, making everyone freeze.
Leo turned his head, letting Sela's fist graze his other cheek and leaving another scratch. Leo himself also stopped his arm short of striking Sela's nose. Both then took a step back as the door burst open and Yamato, Flash, Tusk, Amu, and Roll all ran in.
"Honoo Kakusei!" Yamato called out as the Four Zyuohgers among them transformed in flashes of light.
"Zyuoh Buster!" Elephant and Tiger called out, shooting at the devices that electrified the ring.
"EagRiser!" Eagle called out as he pulled out the handle before the blade extended out in whip form and snared the net holding the two Zyuoh Changers Amigard stole.
"Eh?!" Amigard gasped before a yellow blur shot by him, "Huh?" he looked at his other hand to see no net with swords in them, "Eh?" he looked over at the now empty rock, "Eh?!"
"Hi," Roll waved by Eagle, Tiger, Elephant, and Fox all three blades with her.
"EH?!"
"Hey...have we always had an Eagle guy in the group?" Knuckles asked, looking at Zyuoh Eagle."Also is that guy Rolls cousin or relative" He looked at Zyuoh Fox
"No...were new." Eagle explained. "Yamato." he greeted, holding his hand out.
"Flash," Zyuoh Fox called out.
"Knuckles." he nodded, shaking his hand.
"Amu!" Tiger cheered, treating that like a game.
"Here you go," Roll offered the blades to the two non-transforming Mobians.
"You pulled Caliburn out of a stone," Sonic blinked as he took the talking sword.
"Transform, you two," Elephant spoke as he tossed Sela and Leo their changers.
"Oi, Tusk...they should leave this to us." Eagle spoke.
"No, I'm fighting." Sela spoke, holding up her changer.
"Me too...This guy's got me all pissed off for making me turn my back on my pride as a man!" Leo roared.
"He got him to fight you seriously?" Roll asked Sela.
"Onore...How did you find us?!" Amigard demanded.
"It's thanks to my little friend over hear!" Fox explained as ki car in to view.
"Kyu." He called out and was in battle position but looked cute then threatening.
"What...is....that.... ADORABLE LITTLE FOXY VOXY~"Sela cooded seeing ki.
"We can explain later." Eagle called out.
"We were gonna use the socks to get us hear." Tiger added pulling out Leo's sock.
"Oi, that's mine." Leo spoke, seeing that.
"Why did you bring it?!" Elephant moved away frantically.
"I also brought Sonic-san's sock," Tiger held up the other one, sealed in the bag.
"WHAT?! WHY?!" Elephant snapped as he grabbed it and proceeded to shoot it till nothing, not even ashes, were left.
"Well, I'm going to be down a pair," Sonic quipped.
"It was...for the sake of Justice and all that is right in the galaxy." Elephant stated.
"I'm truly sorry for what we were gonna do, Tusk-san…" Roll apologised, his sense of smell has been bolstered even further since gaining these powers, "I'll make your favorites tonight as an apology."
"There is nothing that will calm my rage!" Elephant whined.
"...ugh." Sela grunted in disappointment.
"We promise to never talk of this ever again. Right, minna?" Tiger offered.
"Talk about what?" Knuckles asked.
"Exactly." Tiger smiled.
"I'm still here!" Amigard shouted before the three Zyuohgers all shot him.
"Do we care? The answer might surprise you."
"Ikuze, Sela! We're all gonna go wild today!" Leo shouted, "Zyuohgers, Sonic, Knuckles...even Roll is gonna go crazy with us!"
"Leo...you might be carried away." Fox spoke.
"Hai, hai," Roll agreed.
"I don't care! He stepped on a strawberry!"
"That red thing?" he blinked.
"...HE DIES TODAY!" Roll and Fox snapped.
"Welp...we lost Roll and Flash" Sonic muttered.
"Well, guess it's time for everyone to go wild then…" Eagle gave in.
"Ozora no Ouja! Zyuoh Eagle!
"Araumi no Ouja! Zyuoh shark!
"Savanna no Ouja! Zyuoh Lion!"
"Shinrin no Ouja! Zyuoh Elephant!"
"Setsugen no Ouja! Zyuoh Tiger!"
"Hono no Ouja! Zyuoh Fox!"
With that, the Zyuohgers all struck a pose with Lion and Tiger crouched down in front, Shark and Elephant directly behind them, Fox standing on the right raising his fist up and Eagle standing tall behind the five. Eagle then cracked his Eagriser loudly.
"Dobutsu Sentai!" Eagle shouted.
"ZYUOHGERS!" they all roared as a large astral projection of their animals symbols formed a large crest behind them.
"...How did they do that?" Knuckles asked, pointing at the astral projection.
"Kono hosh-" Eagle began before Lion and Shark jumped in front of him and pointed at Amigard.
"Kono Hoshi yo, Namerunayo!" they both shouted stealing his catchphrase.
"Ano...that was kind of my…" Eagle spoke as they ignored him and charged at Amigard.
"Next time Yamato," Tiger and Roll comforted him with pats to the back.
"But it's my thing…" he slumped before Tiger nuzzled his cheek.
"Pretty sure it's all our thing now." Tiger smiled, patting his back.
"Are they dating?" Knuckles asked bluntly.
"Soon.." Both Foxes told later fist bumped and went in the fight.
"Ikuzo, Sela! Keep up!" Lion challenged as he slashed at Amigard who blocked with his axe only for Shark to slash him across the abdomen, making him stumble back.
"I can do more then keep up, Leo!" Shark stated as they both stabbed Amigard and pushed him outside.
"Hey Tusk...your feet and my fist...on three." Knuckles smirked, cracking his namesakes.
"You got it!" Elephant shouted, "Yasei kaihou!"
With that, Elephant lifted his embiggened leg as he stomped down at the same time as Knuckles punching the ground. Green and Red cracks formed along the ground before the ground under the Moebas literally erupted with rock and magma, sending them flying up into the sky.
"Yasei Kaihou!" Eagle shouted, jumping into the sky as Sonic jumped and landed on his back, riding Eagle like a surfboard.
Both flew over the Moebas before Sonic jumped off Eagles back. Both then grabbed one another's arms before they began spinning around one another. Their speed picking up as wind and fire coiled around them. The two combined their spin-dashes forming what looked like Red and blue Yin and Yang symbol. Both then crashed into and then through the Moebas causing most of them to explode and be sent down to Tiger and Roll.
"Hai, Rolly, this is a loan!" Tiger said as she held out her Zyuoh Buster sword to Roll.
"Arigatou," Roll thanked as she entered a drawing stance, aimed at the falling Moebas.
"Yasei Kaihou!" Tiger shouted as she formed her claws. "Ikuze Roll-chan!" she roared as ice grew around her claws before they became giant claws of solid ice. Tiger pounced as she slashed with her ice claws slashing through the moabs as they kept falling towards Roll.
"Kaosu…" the Moebas nearly touched her head, "GIRI!"
The Moebas scattered from the slashes before exploding all around the two. Roll looked over the blade.
"...I want a sword like this," Roll stated.
"Hai, join us in fighting from now on and I'll let you borrow mine." Tiger saluted as her claws returned to normal. She then grabbed Eagle's Zyuoh Buster as he and Sonic landed next to them.
"Lucky I have two." Eagle chuckled, tapping his Eagriser on his shoulder.
"Excellent swordsmanship, Lady Roll," Caliburn complimented.
"Thank you, Caliburn-sama," Roll bowed.
"Ha!" Fox ran at the Moebas and split in to three taking on different Moeba's."Flaming Fist!" He shouted launching fire balls at the Moebas n high speed hitting them each and making them explode. He back flipped kicking a move from behind on the head. The spin kicked with fire in his feet."Lightning shoot!" He launched energy arrows on the incoming Moebas as they exploded.
"Yasei Kaihou!" they roared.
Lion slashed his claws across the Deathgaliens' chest making him stumble back before Shark landed her spin dash knocking him flying away. As amigard hit the ground he gasped as Shark once was spinning as Lion raised his claws sparking with electricity. He then slashed with them, sending streaks of lightning that collided with Shark and were transferred to the water enveloping her. Shark then shot forward with the electrified water aura as she crashed into Amigard, causing a large explosion.
"Ah!" the Deathgalien player cried as he slowly got back up.
"You don't seem like such a big deal to me!" Lion declared.
"For once, we agree."
"Guh...I can't allow such an insult on Team Quval. I am a mental fighter...not some barbarian like you beasts!" Amigard shouted.
"And yet...he looks exactly like a Viking." Fox pointed out.
"I believe now is the time to finish this," Caliburn advised.
"Good idea!" Lion nodded, putting an arm around Shark's shoulder before she grabbed and twisted it by the wrist and pushed him away.
"Minna, the hissatsu," Shark ordered.
"I got this one guys!" Fox told.
"But I want to finish this guy." Lion said.
"Sela if you let me finish this I will let you snuggle with ki" Fox simply told.
*Bonk*
Lion was in the ground with a bump on his helmet as Shark was holding the ki close as she gave him a ok sign.
"You made people fight with one another, and you made my friend Leo who respect women's, break his code, so this is for him!" Fox told." Yasei Kaihou" he shouted as he ran in a blur as a orange streak ran around hitting Amigard from every direction as he was pushed back.
"This is for all those who you caused pain and suffering!" "Lightning Blaze slash!" Fox both claws ignited in fire and lightning as he slashed Amigard on the chest in a X shape.
The Deathgalien groaned in pain before he fell down and exploded his body fracturing into shards of alien mineral. Roll frowned as she looked around the shards.
"Oh!" she shot out and stabbed the coin slot, shattering the shard with the blade, "There we go."
"Ahh, good idea!" Fox spoke up at seeing that.
"Oh...Nice job, Roll!" Sonic complemented, making Roll blush a little.
At that, Naria appeared and chuckled before putting a coin in one broken piece that use to be Amigard's head. The golden coin seemed to melt into it as the glow spread to all his shards.
"Eh? What's going on?" Tiger asked as the shards reformed into Amigard before turning gigantic.
"Thank you, Naria!"
"NANI?!" Lion roared in shock.
"Ah mou...That was a bait and switch!" Roll realized
"Not exactly. The coin slots are just modifications we make. It makes it so much easier." Naria explained. "You little girl are indeed smart, I shall give you that compliment. But all that matters is we get the coin inside their body." she said, "Also never do that again or I will punish you." she said, "It's an annoying hassle and a waste of Ginis-sama's playtime."
"Then you really shouldn't have made me think you just needed that slot," Roll pouted.
"I...will...punish...you...understand, and I will start with your sibling." she said.
"...You try anything to Haseo-chan and I'll do to you what I'm gonna do to Eggman," Roll growled.
"I was talking about him." She pointed at Fox confusing him and her."Oh don't act so innocent, I scanned you and her and you both have the same DNA except different genetic."
"NANI?!" The others shouted surprising them.
"Such innocence." She scoffed before disappearing.
"W-wh-what does she mean that were siblings? Is, is that true?" Fox said confused and bewildered.
"I-I don't know?" Roll on the same boat.
"We wil find about that later, guys." Eagle spoke, he was also bewildered , "But now's not the time. Minna, Dobutsu Gattai!" he roared.
"Oh!" Roll blinked twice before running off, setting up the camera at a good distance away to not get hurt but also have both fully seen in the background, "Konnichiwa, minna! Roll-chan back again!"
"Hey Roll, the fight is this way!" Knuckles pointed as Zyuoh King landed in front of Amigard.
"That 180 is annoying at times." Elephant sighed.
"We good here?" Lion asked Shark.
"Shut up and fight."
"I'm takin' that as we good!" Lion stated as Zyuoh King charged and punched Amigard, knocking him back. "Let's mess up his stupid face and beard!"
"Oh, look at how pumped up Zyuoh King is right now! It seems that the anger that Zyuoh Lion and Zyuoh Shark is surging through each blow!" Roll cheered as Sonic ran over to where she was broadcasting with Knuckles on his back, "Ike, Zyuoh King! Ganbatte!"
(Insert Song: Zyuoh King theme)
Zyuoh King punched Amigard in the chest multiple times before backhanding him, knocking him back. Amigard grabbed his enlarged ax and swung at Zyuoh King, the mecha blocking with the King Sword. Zyuoh King pushed the ax away before slashing Amigard across the chest repeatedly, making him stumble back. Amigard then grunted as he was attacked by Cube Tiger as it scratched at his face.
"Onore!" he grunted before Cube Elephant jumped up and closed into cube mode before dropping down on his foot, "EEYOW!"
"Zyuoh Elephant-san should really stopped sneaking treats to Cube Elephant…" Roll sweatdropped.
"I neither confirm nor deny," Elephant spoke to himself.
"Yamato, Leo has an idea!"
"...umm, what?" Shark blinked.
"Leo, hit me with it." Eagle said.
"Let's show him what friends can do working together! Let's switch Zyuoh King's legs up repeatedly! Me and Amu first."
"Huh...I actually like that idea…" Eagle spoke. "Yosh! Ikuze, minna!" he ordered as Zyuoh King broke apart it's three components all rushed and tackled Amigard, knocking him over.
"Oh? What are they planning now?" Roll pondered as Cube Tiger, Eagle, and Shark spun around, "Oh! Mix and Match time!"
=SAN~GO~ICHI!=
Zyuoh King reformed with Tiger taking the middle spot. Zyuoh King grabbed Amigard by his shoulders before the claws unfolded on it's knees. Zyuoh King then began rpeatedly slamming its knee claws into Amigardr's chest repeatedly.
"They look a lot faster in this mode…" Sonic noted.
"That's because all of them are fast animals!" Roll beamed.
"Punch him in the face!" Knuckles shouted. "No...not kick...Punch! Punch!"
"Zyuoh...King of the Jungle Kick!" lion and tiger said as the mecha jumped high into the air and perform a dropkick covered in ice and lighting.
"Gahh!"
"Sela, Tusk, your turn! Tag!" Lion shouted.
"Oh! Here we go again!" Roll exclaimed as the cubes rotated.
=YON~NI~ICHI!=
Zyuoh King in its newest form stomped forward before punching Amigard repeatedly. The Mecha then kicked his side before grabbing his head by his horns. Zyuoh King then wound up its fist.
"Oh, here it comes! Here it comes!" Knuckles cheered as Zyuoh King landed an uppercut that sent Amigard up into the air for a second before landing on the street, shaking everything.
"Wow! With the power of an elephant put into it, that was a really strong punch!" Roll yelped, managing to keep the camera in place with her tail.
"You think they have one that's an Echidna?" Sonic asked, "Because if they did a punch and missed, I'm pretty sure every volcano on the planet would go off at once."
"That sounds like something from a bad spy movie." Knuckles muttered.
"First off. That's something we should talk about with Tails present. He's better at the theory thing."
"Oh, Tails is here, too? I was with his supposed sister earlier," Knuckles spoke, "I still don't trust her." he shook his fist at the sky.
"...We're talking about that later," Roll stated before yelping, "Oh no! Ah! That meanie! I call foul! Foul!"
"What?" Sonic asked before seeing Amigard laughing while keeping a foot on the netted Cube Lion and Cube Tiger, Cube Fox came in Flying and scratching Amigard face making him let them go.
"Oh, hear comes Cube Fox to the rescue!" Roll cheered.
"Yeah, turns out his one of your siblings, either from your mom side or your family" Sonic reminded her.
"We'll talk about that later." Roll told not wanting to get in that argument.
Zyuoh Fox control Cube Fox as he ran on buildings to fight the Deathgalien. He was having a tuff time,"Dang it, I can't merge with the others, I gotta hang on then." He muttered suddenly the remembering the dream from last night." Wait that dream." He remembers the certain words he heard in his dream." Hear goes nothing. MECHA BLAZE, EXCEED!" He shouted.
Cube Fox suddenly ran further and soon it split from his claws and face. The cube suddenly opened showing a humanoid robot in side as the cube separate and Folded in to legs. The claws came and attached them to the legs. Arms came out from his side as it made the fist and the Fox head came in the robots making a Helmet and making shades appear and a face plate. A 7 was marked on his right arm. The mecha soon got in to position.
The others were now soon dumbfounded seeing the cube Mecha Transformed into a humanoid mecha.
"Nani?! Flash Cube can transform without another cube!" Lion yelled.
"Ok, that is cool." Sonic muttered.
Roll was fuming with excitement seeing the Mecha first hand.
"Get ready to face my burning desire," Fox voice was heard from the Mecha," Meet my new friend, Zyuoh Blaze!" He declared.
"Minna, Now Entering the ring is a brand new Mecha Zyuoh Blaze" Roll cheered. Ki was sitting on another building seeing the action happen.
Amigard grunted and got up," So what you got another Mecha, It won't sto-" he was cut off by a fire ball hitting him.
Zyuoh Blaze fist was smoking with fire he then ran at him and high speed as he kicked him on the face and flipped in the air to deliver a drop kick on Amigard head and soon a spin kick. Amigard was send back hitting the ground.
"Sugoi~!" Roll cheered." Zyuoh Blaze is quiet fast and agile in combat, his Mecha is made well to run fast on land and use his attack."
Sonic blinked twice as he got an idea "Hmmm...I'll be right back." he said before blurring off and coming back.
"What did you do?" Knuckles asked.
"Borrowed an experimental ray gun from Tails...Caliburn, this might tickle."
"Wait, what?" Caliburn said before Sonic threw him.
"Hey Flash catch!" he said, firing the ray as Caliburn grew to the Zyuoh Sword's size.
"WHAT?!" Caliburn freaked.
"EH?" Fox blinked before he made Zyuoh Blaze grabbed Caliburn, "Caliburn...dekai-na!" he gawked.
We are having words later, Knave," Caliburn's eye twitched.
"You can talk about it later, Caliburn-san," Fox said, "For now we have to deal with the Deathgalien so let me use your power."
"Hm, Very well then, I'm with you sir Fox, let's cut down this evil!" He declared.
Zyuoh Blaze slashed Caliburn and left a deep scratch along his body. Zyuoh Blaze quickly twisted its wrist and slashed upward, cutting the net and freeing their friends.
"You are so sharp." Fox admired.
"Why thank you, Sir Flash. I-wait, was that a pun? You have been speaking with the Knave too often."
"It was a pun?" Shark asked, getting a shrug from Elephant.
"Stealth pun for the win," Roll giggled, winking at the camera.
"Right, Time to finish this Zyuoh Blaze!" Fox ordered.
"Oh! Here it comes! The Hissatsu Waza time!" Roll cheered.
The Zyuohger set his cubes back in for the finisher before he stood up as energy surged all throughout the command room of the mecha.
"Zyuoh... INFERNO CALIBURN SLASH!" HE shouted as astral projections of Caliburn formed in his hand in his matching color before he slashed with Zyuoh Blaze.
Zyuoh Blaze slashed Caliburn as he was coated in Orange energy. The slash cut through Amigard. After a moment the giant alien slowly slid apart sliced into two halves. After a scream of pain, Amigard exploded brightly.
"Aw...I was hoping for a last line from him," Roll noted in disappointment, "Like…" she pretended she had been cut by the attack, "Battles are...more fun to watch…"
"What is this power…" Fox blinked astounded at Caliburn before said sword yanked out of the mecha hand and flew towards Sonic, shrinking back to normal as he grabbed it and twirled him.
"You threw me!" Caliburn snapped, "You honestly threw me! Do I look like I am an arrow?!"
"You're straight like one...or maybe not since you like guys so much," Sonic smirked.
"You did not just go there, Knave!"
"See you guys later." Sonic said, giving Zyuoh King and Zyuoh Blaze a thumbs up.
"We did it!" Lion roared, as he ran over and hugged Shark inside the cockpit of Zyuoh King. Shark grunted before she elbowed him, sending him falling over. "Love you too...Sela…" he joked.
"And that's all once more, minna!" Roll waved to the camera, "Bye-bye~!"
"Who are you talking to?" Knuckles asked, blinking at the camera.
"Ah...ow ow!" Leo groaned as Roll and Amu treated all the wounds Sela inflicted on him; More to be found under his shirt, leaving Leo bare chested in the living room.
"Wow...your muscles are easier to see without the fur." Amu joked, poking his sixpack abs.
"Where's Knucks?"
"Ran off to search for his Master Emerald. Even ran from the offer of treasure, so you know he's convinced." Tusk said.
"Well, it's his duty to protect the Master Emerald," Roll noted, "No one knows why, but he takes that duty seriously."
"Ah he'll be back. I promised him free food!" Leo smiled as he flexed to try and get the soreness from all the fighting out.
"Did he say anything about someone..."
"Oh, he said he was with Tails's sister and Amy…"
"NOOOO!" Sonic cried, running through the walls and kept going till he made a sonic boom.
"Ano...Tails has a sister?" Yamato asked.
"She's quite fun to talk to," Roll noted with a small giggle.
"Isn't she the one you guys been making me fight.." Flash asked
"Yes and you one day will, just not today." Amu said
"And who is this Amy?" Yamato asked, looking at Amu. "Is she related to you?"
"Roll's love rival and Sonic's stalker."
"Stalker?" Yamato and Flash blinked.
"Big time." Amu nodded. "But she's not so bad outside of that though." she added. "But either way, we know two more people out and around."
"We can find them later." Tusk sighed.
"Yo!" Mario shouted, entering through the front door with Haseo, both carrying bags, "You kids took forever to get the stuff, so me and Haseo get them ourselves!"
"You know women and their shopping," Leo said.
"Oh true that, son...true that." Mario sighed, "Oh, Knuckles-kun! Bring in the rest." he said as Knuckles walked in, holding even more stuff.
"I'm only doing this 'cause you gave me the apple pie, understand, old man?"
"Hai hai. And as a reward, you can camp under my home," Mario added.
"I don't wanna camp. I gotta look for something. I'll visit, ok?"
"Ok." Mario smiled.
"Hey uncle Mario can I ask you something," Flash called out.
"Sure my boy, ask away." Mario said putting the grocery bags.
"I found a new friend, well mostly he found me while I was on a walk and he wouldn't leave me alone. So I though of I could, you know keep him." Flash sheepishly told.
"A new friend where is he?" Mario asked looking around.
"Kyu" he looked down and saw a fox behind Flash legs as he got in to view. Mario looked at him and then at Flash.
"Well looks like I found another bizarre thing, a two tail baby fox..." Mario said."Well I can't say no to you. So ok."
"YES!" Flash and the girls cheered.
"But you have to be the responsible one then remember, so take care of him." Mari told in strict toon.
"Hai, I will." Flash nodded.
"Ok then." Mari said.
"Why do I feel like he won somehow?"
"Because Mario-Oji-san is always a winner," Roll smiled before grabbing Leo's ear and tugging it hard, "Just like Leo-san loses when he makes certain sentences."
"..." Leo then had her let go of his ear, "Leo don't lose to sentences. Leo loses 'cause he chooses to lose!" he said before running off as Sela frowned.
"...You know, we are gonna have to tell mom about Leo throwing the match in that tournament," Sonic frowned, having returned while everyone was distracted.
"Yeah, well make him care...and get past his 9 sisters and his moms."
"Wait...Moms...as in plural?" Yamato asked.
"Yes, he has multiple moms." Amu nodded.
"...I...I shouldn't be shocked...I mean, it works like that with lions here…" Yamato muttered as he fell into a seat, "One male, many females…"
"Leo has a long future ahead of him once he's crowned the new head of the Lion clan." Tusk muttered.
"...One day...one day for sure...I'll definitely fight you evenly…" Sela muttered as Leo was standing on the terrace.
"..." Leo scratched his hair as he reverted to his Mobain form, "Ah...a real man roars to let it all out! GAAOOO!" he roared shaking the forest. "A real man protects women even at the cost of his pride. I am Leo of the Zyuohgers and I am a MAN!"
Deeper in the forest, a small hut shook from Leo's roar as a hand covered in black fur grabbed a cubed cup that fell from a cupboard. A gorilla mobian wearing a red/yellow/green jamaican shirt and knitted cap, with a pair of cargo pants and a tan jacket sighed as he put it back before went back to the tea he was making.
"Daijobu...senoritas?" a voice asked Miyuki and Amy, the latter have scraped her ankle, "Don't worry, I have some medicine around this little shack of mine." he smiled, standing a good foot taller than both of them before he looked in a higher cupboard and pulled out a first aid kit. "Here you go, Senorita." he said while handing her the kit. "I shall go out and collect some herbs to help with the healing," he smiled as he slipped on some sandals and walked to the door.
"Thank you…" Amy said before dropping her tarot cards, "Oh darn, I….huh…" she blinked seeing the cards fallen in a certain order, "...at the cost of life...the monarch of the jungle will awaken his massive strength…"
"Hm...did you say something?" the gorilla Mobian asked as he wrapped a scarf around his face and put on a pair of sunglasses. He then noticed the looks, "Oh, this is my human incognito mode in case I stray too close to the human city." he explained with an embarrassed chuckle, "Anyway, please feel free to treat my small home as yours for the time being Senoritas." he said leaving.
"Oh...ano, thankyu," the nine-tailed vixen nodded a bit.
"...whose life...will awaken the king's strength…?" Amy pondered with worry as she looked as a card showing her a man with massive muscles with a burning crimson red aura around him and a gorilla face on his chest. Then another came into view,"Huh this one looks like it's from a further future..." She said."... When the truth will reveal.. The sleeping beast will awaken from his slumber... The hell will lose once he comes..." She now felt scared as she looked at the card as a Humanoid Fox was seen and soon replaced by a monster with crimson orange skin and blood thirsty eyes and sharp teeth.
Eggman's Legal Troubles! Part 3
"What?!"
"Yes, Lord Eggman! We located a signal that seems to be one of the Egg Bosses."
"Excellent...good...good." Eggman smiled as he jumped up off the ground. "Well, where is it?"
"SPPACCE!" Cubot shouted.
"What?" Eggman gawked before he slapped them both. "Idiots, how am I…" he motioned to himself before he pointed directly up, "Supposed to get all the way up there without any of my machines?!"
"Recycling?"
"..." Eggman was about to yell before he saw the city dump. "...good idea."
"Wait...Cubot had a good idea?" Orbot asked.
"Yes...I'm just as flabbergasted as you are. But I suppose every 'bot has his day." Eggman replied. "Let's get this done." he smirked walking into the junkyard.
Time Lapse-One Week Later-
"Hey, boss! I've been seeing giant cube robots fighting all this week."
"Shut up, Cubot! I'm busy stealing power from the city." Eggman replied as he hooked cables up to a somewhat decently made spacecraft forged from junk and scrap metal. He clicked the cable in as power began to falter around the city, "Eggman: supreme genius!"
"Sir shouldn't we worry? After all, this is a rather obvious crime here." Orbot pointed out. "And it's not like the cops can track it down to here."
"Oh please. I rerouted all the cables around town for a day. It take a human with a computer for a brain to find us in time!" Eggman gloated before they heard sirens. "Curse you, Orbot!"
At that a...Robot walked out of the car. The robotic man had heavy armor colored in a light teal color his helmet had two large red eyes with a cover covering his face. His chest had components and a police badge in the center over his heart.
"Oh no, boss man! It's Robocop!" Cubot panicked.
"No, not Robocop!" Eggman freaked, "Wait...he's a movie character. He's not real."
"I am Mobile Cop Jiban!" Robotic man stated. He then pulled a police badge out from his chest. He then held it up. "I am allowed to arrest any criminal I deem as committing a crime without a warrant!"
"Wait...wait...that's unfair!" Eggman shouted. "I'm just...trying to get home. I'm from…"
"SSSSPPPPPAAAAAACCCCCEEEEE!"Cubot filled in.
"Grr….SHUT UP!" Eggman snapped as he threw a wrench at Cubot, causing him to twitch a bit.
"D'oh...my head…" Cubot groaned, having two, maybe three, circuits acting as hair of sorts before he noticed Jiban, the cube-shaped bot letting out a high-pitched scream "AHH! Robocop!"
"Maximillian Type 3!" he shouted, shooting Eggman with stun rounds, making him twitch and fall over. "There that will keep him passive while I shut this dangerously unsafe and childish system down." Jiban said, stepping over the spasming Eggman. "Good robots." he said ignoring Cubot and Orbot.
"He ignored us...he must think we are stupid because of you Cubot." Orbot figured.
"Why you little!" Cubot growled as he strangled Orbot.
"I am not childish!" Eggman said rising up.
"Huh? How did you…"
"He's more use to having spasm from mental breakdowns…" Orbot informed.
"Shh-shh...there there crazy." Cubot said, patting Eggman's leg.
"I am not childish, you're childish especially you ghost sonic!" Eggman accused pointing at conveniently shape scrap as he got up and looked at jiban, "officer this is a misunderstanding i'm just trying to get off this mudball."
"I'm to your left…" Jiban sweatdropped. "Sir plese clearly you are tired, overworked, and possibly suffering nerve damage and possibly a massive shock to your mind."
"Oh is that all, pssh, I thought he was just another one of those weirdos." Cubot chuckled.
"I had more massive shocks to my head then you had reprogramming, try having a speedy monster kick you upside the head blow you up while inside mech suits while trying to perform world domination enslavement of an inferior race and the glorious rise of the eggman empire or eggman land!"
"Is that a confession to past sins?"
"YES!" At that, Eggman found his hands cuffed by large metal handcuffs probably meant for monsters rather than people, "Ahahha! What is this? You think a cell can hold me?"
"It can if you're stupid enough to never ever let him out." Orbot muttered.
"Orbot, stop giving him ideas," Eggman ordered.
"Come along." Jiban said before dragging him away to the car.
"Officer, do you have a permit to arrest me?"
"Why would I need one?"
"Because I come from another planet, you fool!"
"Okay. Name your planet."
"Mobius."
"Never heard of it." Jiban shook his head, "You must be another interdimensional threat to the universe...better kill you."
"Ahaha! You can't! That will cause intergalactic war….and I won't go down without complaining to your superiors."
"Wait a second…" he said looking at him closely, "i have files on you, you're the missing teacher, Ivo Robotnik."
"Teacher?" Orbot and Cubot repeated.
"He's talking nonsense."
"Also to explain to you, I am a police commsioner, and have been given the righs of the UN Interpol to judge any criminal as I so chose." Jiban explained as his badge displayed the data.
"You still can't do this to me!"
"No iI won't kill. I have a lot of questions for you, Ivo."
"No!" he said, bursting through the window as Cubot and Orbot followed him
"Halt!"
"Inside now!" he said as they jumped into the ship, "We're taking off!"
"Matte!" Jiban said as he pulled out a rifle and aimed at Eggman before he growled and lowered it once the ship blasted off. "He's space sheriff problems now…" he said, "The case of the missing school teacher and students just got reopened."

(begins Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger opening theme)
Haruka oozora e jiyuu ni habataku
Kibou mitsumeteru shounen no hitomi
Eagle, Shark, Lion, Elephant, Tiger, Honnō Kakusei!
Saikyou no ouja Zyuohger yasei no PAWAA de

"Hai, here." Yamato smiled as he handed out papers to people on the street. Once again, he had gone out with the others to give out flyers asking for hints as to the Kings Credential they lost. Yamato wa salso wearing a black version of his normal jacket, his red one got ruined in a fight between Leo and Sela.
"Please come to the opening tomorrow!" Amu beamed, handing out not Kings Credential flyers, but ads for the Cafe, "Free dessert to the first hundred customers!"
"Amu, are you looking for help for the credential or advertising for Roll?" Yamato asked as he walked over and looked over her shoulder.
"...both?" She pouted in a false confusion as she tilted her head.
"I should have figured…" Yamato sighed.
Amu was about to retort before Tusk smacked her upside the head with a rolled up stack of papers.
"Do it elsewhere then. We call this spot for the Credential." Tusk stated bluntly as he walked off.
"Oh, you're just moody 'cause Tails had Nicole-chan lock us out." Amu frowned, holding her head.
"What does he do all day?" Yamato asked.
"Build random things that amaze the world." Sela explained bluntly.
"Hehehe...he once made a toaster using wood...and it worked! Till I left it plugged in and it lit on fire..." Leo muttered.
"That was Leo's birthday present...he also made him an anti-Sela barrier."
"Did it work?"
"Tails said, 'you asked me to make one...you never asked for it to work.'" Amu smiled.
"Yeesh...I couldn't eat my food for a week. Kitchen Mom had to blend up my breakfast for me." Leo complained, leaning on his head.
"Oh, don't get us started when he made a bomb disguised as Leo's moms." Amu joked.
"It was dark!" Leo countered.
"You fell for it each time," Sela countered.
"Why pick on Leo? It's not like you love them. That time he made your brother that hoverboard, you freaked and almost bit his head off." Leo pointed at Sela.
"Sela.." Yamato frowned.
"It was dangerous!"
"Kids are kids."
"..." Tusk rolled up more papers before he smacked everyone upside the head, making them all groan. "Work." he reminded them as he handed a larger stack to Leo.
Flash was sitting on a tree branch as his mobian traits were out. He was thinking back of what he found out. Ki was sitting beside him as he was snoozing there.
"Flash nii-san are you ok." Roll came in to view as she landed next to him and not waking up ki."You.. looked out after what you found out." She asked in worry.
"I'm.. I'm not sure if I am." Flash told honest as he looking down." All my life I thought of many things. My parents may have abandoned me because of my traits or I was just a lost cause and was lucky to be found my uncle Mario on his door step."
"Don't say that!" Roll said." Your family didn't abandoned you or anything. They love you as you are."
"How do you know that. Your just guessing that and all." He muttered in sarrow.
"Us sakurai are know for love and honor. I believe that who ever was in our family would have loved you no matter what. We don't abandon any one.There must have been a cause to this." Roll declared putting a hand on his shoulder."Once we find kaa-san. I will ask her. Beside I know we can't tell Mario-san this yet but right now when the time comes we will get our answers."
Flash didn't say anything. He looked down for a minute then looked at her with a smile."Thanks. I appreciate that." He suddenly hugged her but she didn't have a problem as she hugged him back.
He soon let go as he thought of something."So looks like we're family na. So does that make us cousins then right." He asked.
"Hm.. I guess." Roll nodded.
"So that means I am a badass cousin then. Cause I know the jitsu and can do cool abilities like Naruto ha." Flash smirked cockily.
"Hey I can do that to. I have know to be the best swordman sharp skills and am best at cooking." Roll told with her own smirk.
"Wanna bet.."
"Your on!" Roll said with a smirk as the two family members were now in a challenge state.
"Man...where is it...where is it…" Sonic muttered, looking around.
"Knave, you have search the whole island and yet you still haven't found your necklace…"
"Okay, this is an island...I've combed over every forest on the thing!" Sonic groaned as he stood up. "I mean, where else could it have gone?!"
"A river?" Caliburn asked. "The ocean...after all, it is as you say, an island."
"Are you still mad I lent you to Zyuoh Blaze?"
"That? No...no, not that. It was nice being in the hands of someone who knows how to actually use a sword." Caliburn countered.
"Oh very fu…" he started before his tail shot up, "Huh?"
"Knave, there seem to be a migration going on…" Caliburn blinked, seeing several flying objects in the sky.
"Huh?" Yamato blinked as he looked up. His eyes did the same old zoom thing as he began to see things far away, his vision seeing past the blue sky that was earth's atmosphere, there he saw the triangular ships of the Deathgalien coming down to earth in a large attack force. "Ah! Deathgaliens!" he called out pointing at the sky making the others all look up to see the ships only barely come into their field of vision.
"Finally! Something Leo enjoys!" Leo declared "Minna ikuz…" something large shot by them overhead, "HUH?!"
The object in question was a large, white plane that was 12.3 meters long with a 7 meter wingspan. The back of it was larger, letting the red engines be shown with smaller wings on them and near the yellow-tipped nosecone. It had four seats, separated into two covered parts. Yamato looked at it to see…
"Oh! Tails-san! What are you doing in there?!" Yamato freaked.
"Tails is in that?!" Amu asked in surprise.
The plane then flew around and the cockpit open as the Zyuoh Cubes jumped off and landed in their partner's hands.
"Chibi Leo!" Leo cried, catching his Cube Animal.
"Even Cube Kirin," Yamato noted, the tiniest member of the Cube Animals squeaking in his hand.
"I swear if he's building a battleship next…" Tusk sighed.
"Oh look it!" Amu awed as the plane flew towards the ships.
"What is that thing?" The Deathgalaien player asked.
This alien looked more organic compared to those of past Deathgalien. His body was a hot-pinkish color with blue veins all over his arms legs...and his head. Said head made up all of his torso with his arms coming out of the side of his head and his legs under his jaw; his long beast like jaw filled with razor sharp teeth. He had golden gauntlets, and greaves with three blues claws on each leg, and his head was clad in a golden helmet with a red bladed ridge along the top.
"Whoa! It's fast." he blinked as it zoomed by before it looped back and changed, now having arms, and it punched a ship into another, causing them to explode. "Ahh! Shoot him down before it gets me!" he ordered, slapping the Moaba piloting his ship.
"Ooh~! Looks like it was worth lending him those ships..." Ginis noted, watching the airfight.
"That idiot...Gaburio!" Azald groaned.
"Curious...why did you send your Dumbest Player this time?" Quval asked.
"'Cause I want him to eat that rat!" Azald shouted.
"Understandable. Gaburio is able to eat and digest anything...even dark matter." Naria muttered. "Hmm...the plane is interesting...Ginis-sama, a child is flying that."
"Ahahahah!" Quval laughed at Azald.
"What?! That idiot is being beaten by a kid!?"
"Well clearly a kid who's IQ is on the other end of Gaburio's." Ginis stated. "Oh. The colorful ones are here."
Tails looked at the pursuing ships and smirked as he dived down in time to lure them to Cube Eagle's line of fire. Cube Eagle unleashed its beam vulcan attack and destroyed the ships, letting their remains fall to the streets below.
"AH! The Zyuohgers are here too soon!" Gaburio shouted, his giant jaw opening wide in shock.
"Save some for Chibi Leo, Yamato, Tails!" Lion demanded as Cube Lion roared and unleashed thunder on more of the ships.
"Sheesh...talk about overcompensating." Tiger muttered.
"Amu, Leo, Cube Kirin, gattai!" Eagle ordered.
"Aye Sir!" Tiger cheered; Amu's been watching anime.
=SAN! GO! ICHI! Zyuoh~ King~!=
Zyuoh King skidded to a halt before Cube Kirin grew to max size and unfolded into Bazooka Mode and docked to the shoulder. Zyuoh King then took aim as it unleashed a blast of orange energy that burst like a shotgun shot and took out a large cluster of the Deathgalien shots.
"Ahahaha! Fire! Fire! Fire!" Lion shouted.
"Wait, Leo! Tails…" Eagle started before Tiger tapped his shoulder. "...he clipped Tails, didn't he?"
"Just a little." she said, holding her thumb and index fingers apart slightly as Eagle saw one of the wings of Tails's jet slightly smoke...Eagle looked in closer and he could see no damage...but the paint is ruined. "Wait...something's falling…"
"Eh?"
The plane then looped back and followed the falling object. Said Object was Gaburio, who was screaming in his fall. Tails's plane came in to grab the alien...only for it to bite off the entire hand that was trying to grab him. Tails's plane smacked him further away and faster in his descent to the ground before making a crash landing. It seemed that the Deathgalien ate a crucial part.
"Tails!" Eagle shouted as he jumped out of Zyuoh King and flew off towards the plane at top speed.
"He really needs to learn to wait." Lion said as he saw Tiger on the phone.
"Yep. You missed it...the whole thing." Tiger said on the phone.
"Who are you calling?" Lion asked.
"You mean 'who did I call?'"
"Mou!" Roll pouted, hanging up.
"What?"Flash asked as Knuckles was with them as he put down the last of the tables, only doing it as a small favor.
"I missed recording Zyuoh King and the other Cube Animals fighting an alien flying invasion," Roll pouted.
"What.. dang it I wanted in on the action."Flash said.
"So..." he said, "Okay. I'm off. I gotta get back to looking for a way home or the Master Emerald. Whichever comes first. You can find Miyuki somewhere in the forest….north of here."
"Arigatou," Roll thanked, "Next time you come here, your meal is on the house."
"The girl you mentioned hah. Well I'm off to." Flash told leaving.
"He fell in the forest to the north!" Zyuoh Elephant shouted as he watched where the Deathgelien fell.
"Tails is more important." Shark and Eagle said.
"We'll find the Deathgalien eventually. Once he gets up, our tails will raise up!" Lion added.
"Leo just smarts-ed!" Tiger joked as they all ran off.
"There he...oh…" Eagle blinked, seeing the intact plane missing a piece, as Tails kicked the cockpit open and jumped out, dusting himself off.
"I was not expecting it to eat the hand," Tails noted as Cube Kirin bounced over, squeaking, "Oh there, there. You want Mama Nicole?"
"Tails!" Eagle called out as he landed on the plane next to Tails.
"Hey, guys! What do you guys think of X-Tornado?" Tails asked.
"I think it's probably the most amazing plane on Earth… You know, for one that doesn't also transform into a giant fighting robot." Eagle corrected himself, living in Japan...he'd seen many a giant robot.
"I don't have the parts or power supply yet," Tails shrugged, "Besides, it's better than my old planes...but those are still my favorites as well." he noted, "I gotta thank Cube Eagle for letting me examine him to make this."
"Wow, what happened hear." Zyuoh Fox came into view seeing the view." What did I miss." He asked.
"Just tails using his plan to fight the Deathgalien." Tiger explained.
"Soka, I'm just glad this thing is clearly built to take damage." Eagle sighed.
"Yeah...but...as for how that Deathgalien just chomped the hand off...that's honestly beyond me here. That couldn't have happened…unless he has a black hole for a stomach...or capable of dark matter consumption…" he tapped his chin, "I need to check with nicole…" he said before an ice wall separated the Zyuohgers from him, "What?!"
"Tails!" Eagle shouted in surprise as he pulled out his EagRiser.
"Amu, did you…" Elephant began.
"Iie, iie, iie!" Tiger shook her head.
"I got this!" Fox yelled as his fist was now on fire and he punched the wall down." Ok who ever you are get out before I bur you up."
"Gomen, but I had to make sure you were okay first before you try anything reckless," a voice spoke up, causing them to turn and see a Mobian nine tailed vixen stand there, "I saw the plane crashed and...well, something inside me sensed you were in there, Tails."
"Omae wa dare da!" Fox shouted as he jumped in front of Tails with his fists on fire.
"M-matte! I'm not here to harm him, kyu!"
"Matte…" Eagle muttered as he looked between the two Fox Mobians. "You two have the same facial features."
"It's just a species thing," Tails said, "It's like saying all lion Mobians look like Leo."
"I am a handsome devil." Lion smirked.
"No...really you share the same facial features." Eagle stated, "I can see that kind of stuff now,"
"Yamato has telescopic eyesight now." Tiger explained.
"Anyway…" Eagle said as he hid his Eagriser away and flashed back to Yamato. "Who are you?" he started before blue blur came in.
"Hey guys, what's u….oh hey Miyuki." Sonic greeted zooming in.
"Sonic-san," the vixen nodded.
"Miyuki-chan~!"
"Eh? That sounded like…" Fox began before a yellow blur tackled into the female fox.
"Kita!" Roll cheered, hugging the fox.
"Roll-chan!" Miyuki beamed as she returned the hug.
"Miyuki?" Yamato asked confused.
"She says she's Tails-chan's sister." Roll informed, "I'm convince because they look similar."
"It's just a species thing," Tails deadpanned.
"Iie. You both have something just...alike," Roll argued.
"I am an orphan, you guys, so please stop this…" he said before a pink blur tackled Roll and nuzzled into her chest.
"I got you, Sonic~"
"Ahn~!" Roll blushed.
"Ano...wrong person." Tiger said flashing back into human form Amu.
"...Huh?" Amy blinked as she looked up, seeing she was nuzzling Roll in her bosom, "..." she then let go, "oh damn, it's you." she frowned.
"..." Sonic then backed away before blurring off.
"And he's off!" Amu cheered. "Girls, see who can get him first!" Amu ordered the two to chase.
"...you!" Amy blinked, looking at the Zyuohgers, "I've seen you guys in the cards!" She said but when she looked at Fox she suddenly saw something different of him." Hah? Who's this guy. Is he your cousin or something."
"He is. But he's well different." Roll told.
"Ah!" Lion roared, making everyone cover their ears. "It's Amy! Amy, why are you here?!"
"Wait... What do you mean in the cards…" Elephant asked.
"...This is a big reunion." Yamato noted as Tails crossed his arms. "...minna can we talk peacefully and not disturb the forest?"
"I need to fix my plane." Tails said.
"And we need to find the Deathgalien." Tusk said, flashing back to his human form.
"But...our tails aren't tingling." Amu pointed out as she presented her tail to everyone, "So...he must be dead." she figured as nobody noticed Gaburio's legs jutting out of a hill directly above them.
"Either way, I'm not leaving. If you guys don't mind, give me space to work peacefully." Tails said, looking at Leo.
"Hai...Amy-san, correct? ...Can you take us to a place to talk?"
"Hey...I hear something." Leo said, turning around to see someone in the bushes.
"Oh No! Humans!" the figure shouted before running off.
"Deathgalien!" Leo roared as the Zyuohgers all ran after the figure.
"Wait!" Amy called out, defending the thing in the bushes while holding a hammer, "What do you think you're doing?!"
"AH!" Leo shouted as he and Yamato tackled the figure down while the rest just tripped after them.
"Got you now, Deathgalien!" Yamato shouted as he turned him around...only form to come face to face with a gorilla Mobian. "Gorilla?"
"Eh?!" the others all gawked.
"..." Leo and them all gulped as they looked at Amy with her hammer, "...uh…"
*PIKO! PIKO!*
"Mou...Strikes first, asks questions later…" Roll sighed, facepalming.
"A Mobian?" Yamato asked, standing up while holding the bump on his head.
"Ah...you humans know of Mobians?" the gorilla asked.
"Of course we do! We are Mobians!" Leo said as they changed back, "Gao!"
"Don't you guys have something to say to Larry first?" Amy frowned.
"Only if you have something to say to them, as well," Roll frowned.
"They tackled him, Tits Magee!"
"And you hitting them with your hammer wasn't just as bad if not worse, little girl?"
"Well, at least Sonic likes me, Miss Self-proclaimed wife."
"You did not just go there, bratty little fangirl!"
"Cat fight..." Tails groaned.
"Ok Enough!" Fox shouted making them all jump."listen hear. We accidentally took the innocent mobian for the Deathgalien so we were sorry. But it doesn't give you the right to hit them!" Fox schooled her.
"But they."
"But nothing!" Fox shutting her up." Also never say this or anything to my cousin got it or the next time your skull will be having the dents of your own hammer got it." Fox told darkly making Amy scared as she nodded quickly. The others were getting sacred aswell except for the other mobian.
"OH! Amigos!" Larry shouted, making Fox blink out of his thoughts and everyone blink as he hugged them, "Ahahaha! I never thought I'd see even more of my kind!" he said as he happily hugged them.
"It's true...the Gorilla are the strongest of all Mobians…" Tusk grunted.
"Hello sorry for the scene back there." Fox apologize as he powered down revealing Flash.
"Oh it's ok. By the way why aren't you showing your mobian form." He asked.
"Um.. well the thing is. I'm a..." Flash had a hard time telling.
"Flash is a hybrid and is half mobian and half human." Leo bluntly told getting a bonk on the head from Sela.
The mobian liked at him in slight fear but he shook it off."what?! My amigo this is... This is out standing." He said in shock.
"Wait his half human?!" Amy asked.
"Yeah we could tell you later in another palace." Amu said.
"Ok then. Ah, little Amigo!" Larry cheered as he grabbed Tails into the hug.
"Hello…" Tails said, "...Aren't you the human researcher that went missing years ago? Larry the Gorilla, right?"
"Ah...what am I supposed to do now?" Gaburio asked from the hill he was buried in, still not found by them as they walked away from the area.
-Line break-
"Gaburio, that useless piece of…!" Azald growled in anger, slamming his head once more into his wall, " I'm gonna go get him! And if I see him, I'm gonna kill that blue rat….maybe in the reverse order."
"Hahaha...and once again, Team Azald's mental deficiency trait has made itself clear," Quval chuckled at his fellow alien's misfortune, "Getting attacked before the game even starts, even…"
"Azald...if you're going down, at least sober up." Naria joked.
"SHUT UP!" he shouted "I am sober! That's why I'm mad!" he added, kicking over a table before he punched a Moeba Cleaner, "The game's just starting!" he shouted while walking out.
"Heh...babysitting his own player...how sad." Quval laughed.
"No...this might actually make things more interesting." Ginis muttered as he grabbed his new chalice of wine, "Very...very interesting."
"Will you guys please apologize for tackling into Larry?" Amy frowned, her clothes disheveled and her quills a mess.
"Senorita, it's ok…" Larry replied calmly as he patted her shoulder "From what my little amigo tells me, they had good reasons." he smiled, "If I was all wound up from fighting monsters, I'd do the same thing," he laughed, "Well, if I was a good few years younger." he chuckled.
"Thank you for the understanding, Larry-san," Roll thanked, her clothes, fur, and quills a mess as well.
"You to still fought even when I told you guys not to." Flash said.
"She wasn't listening cause of being a brat."
"Says the one who's brain went to her chest." Amu shot back. Both girls glare at one another but we're soon hit on the head.
"You to are clearly taking my patients away." Flash told in an angry toon.
"Sorry.." Both said in fright
"So weird being around a Mobian who didn't suffer under Eggman or know about him at all." Tusk admitted.
"Ah...I'm sorry to say...I was not able to be there with my kind," Larry sighed as he served tea for everyone. "Ah...truly much has happened while I was on my research trip.
"Larry, would you look at my notes here?" Tails asked, showing Larry a yellow device that reminded Yamato of an oversized PS Vita. "It's in regards to what I've learned about the King's Credentials."
"Let me see, Nino." he said, holding the device, "Soka soka...amazing work, my boy." he smiled, patting his head. "A mind like that puts an old bag of muscle like me to shame!" he laughed, continuing to gently pat Tails's head, "Ah, but look here, you noted the energy of the credentials allows for the human change. Now near as I know, the credentials can only be used by one at a time. So your guess on it being working for specific Mobians is indeed right. However, it's even more specific. It locks to whoever awakens it and bonds to DNA." he explained, "But I'm sure you would have found it yourself after a little more research. A young man like you must have a thousand things on the mind at any time."
"Well, my friends here tend to be demanding." he said as Miyuki glared at them.
"Ahahaha...then just learn to be able to amaze them more. Friends help one another, so make them wish they asked sooner by blowing them away." Larry offered advice. "Sides with your youth, soon you'll be so wise, their silly requests will be as easy as…" Larry snapped his fingers making a loud snap, "As snapping your fingers!" he laughed.
"Thanks...if you'll excuse me, I'll be getting back to my plane." he smiled as he left with Miyuki following him.
"Ah good boy, right good boy." Larry smiled before he grabbed a wooden box. "Ah so can you now tell me about your self um !"he looked at Flash.
"Flash, Boku wa Flash Sentry bit now that I found out about my family I think now it may be Flash Maelstrom Sakurai." Flash introduced.
"Wow amigo. So you are very unique and you must be her family then. What is your family name." He asked.
Flash developed an unsure expression."Well you see. I lived my hole life hear in the human place."
"Nani" Larry soon developed a scared expression.
"Yes I lived hear with Yamato. He's human like me well I'm like him but a bit."
"Ah yes, I'm human." Yamato said, making Larry pause and look at him.
"NOOO~!" Larry shouted, as he smashed through his wall and ran.
"Larry…" Amy panicked. "Oh no! Not again."
"Hey...wait...Ossan!?" Leo shouted, running after him.
"Daijo…" Yamato started before Amy held him back, shaking her head no.
"Aw... Yamato-kun, what did you do to him?" Amu asked.
"I didn't do anything." Yamato quickly shook his head.
"Please just Mobians after him…" Amy insisted." Also Flash you should stay hear aswell. It's just for safe occasion."
"I might as well see if I can fix that hole for him," Roll noted, pulling a box of nails and a hammer from her cleavage.
The Mobians of the Zyuohgers and their friends were able to find Larry at a lake fed by a waterfall from the river. Larry himself was sitting on a rock as he sighed and looked at the water.
"I'm done interacting with humans." Larry explained himself as the younger Mobians all found him after he left Larry-shaped holes in the forest. "...sorry if I'm rude to the company you keep…"
"Larry-san, Yamato is a good boy and Flash won't hurt you...I'm sure you can…" Amu tried to reason.
"Gomen," he shook his head.
"But...you came here to study humans… What happened?" Sela asked.
Larry took a long sigh at that, "That was long ago." he explained. "The thought occurred to me. 'I should learn to get along with humans if I'm to live in this world.'" he sighed, "But…"
-Flashback-
Larry walked over you a couple sitting in the city park before he took a deep breath.
"Hola!" Larry shouted happily to them.
"Ah! Gorilla!" they cried running away. Other people also began running in panic away from Larry.
The Gorilla Mobian looked around at the fear in the people's faces. He tried again, but got the same result. He tried again, but once again the humans ran from him in fear. The poor old Mobian lowered his arms in sadness at the fear he received from the humans he enjoyed to study. He then turned his head as a police officer ran over to him before pulling out his firearm. Larry panicked as the officer began shooting. The poor Gorilla avoided three shots before he ran away in fear, but as he did one bullet still grazed his shoulder.
-End Flashback-
Larry held his arm, where a hole was patched up in his sleeve. "Now...humans terrify me."
"But you know…" Leo said as he jumped on Larry's sitting rock. "Yamato's not gonna hurt you. So is Flash Both are real nice dudes."
"Maybe…" Larry sighed, holding his arm.
"So...Yamato,and Flash right?" Amy asked, "You two seem nice...I'm sorry about Larry's freak out." she apologized, "He's been through a lot." she sighed, "But when he's ready, he should tell you."
"You're very grateful to him huh?" Flash asked as Roll worked on fixing the Larry-shaped hole.
"Yeah. Me and Miyuki have been with him for awhile, so he's been nice to us...so you've been with fatty over there and my Sonic, huh?"
"Oh, bite me, shrimp…" Roll muttered under her breath.
"Hai…" Yamato chuckled nervously. "What's your relationship with Sonic-san?"
"I'm his soulmate and he and I are destined to be! The cards let me meet him and they told me I'll always be in his life." she swooned.
'As a little sister figure, maybe…' Roll thought.
"...By the way, you two...the Zyuohgers...are there seven of you right now?" Amy asked.
"Eh? ...No. There are only six of us...but we are looking for the 6th Kings Credential." he explained.
"Listen to me carefully. At the cost of a life, the Monarch of the Jungle will rise."
"Jungle...no Ouja?" Yamato and Flash asked.
"She saw someone dying to make a new Zyuohger in those cards?" Roll pondered before her tail shot straight up and her eyes widened, "?! I~te!"
"Someone...dying…?" Yamato asked in worry as Roll sucked her thumb where her hammer had hit.
"Also there was a future prediction I saw aswell but this was a further future I saw."
"Hah?" Yamato and Flash said while roll checked her thumb.
"When the truth will reveal. The sleeping beast will awaken. Thus hell will brake lose."
"I thought it will be her but now that I saw you it will eather be you or her." Amy explained.
"Nani?" Yamato blinked. "But...that doesn't explain anything…" he blinked. "Someone dies...for a new Zyuohger?" he asked, scratching his head." And finding the truth as a demon rises."
"Could be metaphorical..." Roll mumbled through her thumb-sucking to deal with the pain.
"Actually...in Tarrot reading, 'death' doesn't mean 'to die,'" Flash explained, making them look at him, "As I watched from fortune telling. It means 'transformation' and the tarrot 'truth' means of' looking deeper in one self.'"
"The cards never lie, trust me. A life for a new Zyuohger...it's true! I've met Sonic thanks to these cards." she said showing him...blank cards.
"Soka…" Yamato nodded slowly while looking to Roll, who just shrugged.
"Don't look at fatty there. I'm more reliable than her."
"It's not fat. It's milk," Roll mumbled as the pain faded.
"Amy-san...you don't have to be rude." Yamato sighed, sounding like a parent tired of settling silly arguments, "Besides you were nuzzling up to her rather lovingly earlier."
"I was not!" she screamed, embarrassed.
"Amy-san, Amy-san...it was a joke. I was just joking," Yamato replied calmly.
"She doesn't know how to take jokes," Roll noted, "Then again, she is just a twelve-year-old in a magically-aged body."
"Well at least I don't let stupid laws dedicate my love for Sonic."
Roll's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Are you insulting my family, Ms. Rose?"
"Yeah I am! And if you wanna go, let's take this outside!"
"We're already outside, you little brat!" Roll growled.
"Mou yamete!" Yamato and Flash shouted, making them both jump in fright.
"Duck and cover!" Roll squeaked as she hid behind a rock to not see Yamato's 'scary face.' It got worse after he developed his Eagle eyes. Amy hid and was trying not to get hit by Flash.
"Knave, you should just take them both. You're a prince…" Caliburn tried to advise.
"I'm not into harems," Sonic rolled his eyes.
"It's not a harem. One is your wife, the other is the concubine or mistress. She's not a an emotional partner."
"Okay...stop, stop right there. Stop it. Seal that thought away and then never think it again." Sonic ordered, "A: If I was to get into a relationship with multiple partners, then it would have emotion. B: As I've learned from Leo's Dad, if you are gonna do the whole multiple girls thing, you need to do it with respect and love for all who are involved. C: As I learned from Leo's moms...they need to like each other for it to even be considered. D: Do do it without any equal care for all involved just makes you a Grade A; Total Jacka-" he went on before bumping into someone, "Oh. Sorry."
"Watch where you're going, blue rat!" The tall figure shouted, shoving Sonic out of his way.
"I'm not a rat! I'm a hedgehog!" Sonic snapped.
"...Wait a second...it's you!" Azald shouted, "You're that annoying blue spiky thing that keeps distracting my Players! Why you hate my guys? Why don't you bug Quval's guys?!" he shouted.
"I'm sorry, do I know you or care?" Sonic smirked.
"I am Azald, the leader of Team Azald, and you keep bothering my players as they play the blood game! Because of you, I've looked like a total fool!" Azald shouted, pointing his cube hand at Sonic.
"Wow, is it that hard?" he asked.
"Are you making fun of me?"
"Maybe." Sonic began before he twitched as his tail shot up. Sonic then looked up at Azald...and took a step back. Azald's lips curled into a smile as a vicious bloodthirst aura came off him...worse than bloodthirsty...the only apt comparison...was the aura of death. "Caliburn...I need all of your attention on this."
"Indeed," Caliburn agreed, "It is akin to when Lancelot did not hold back...but far worse…"
"Yeah 'cause he would've kept me alive."
"I am Azald…" Azald spoke as he held his hands out...and cubes formed off his body before they reformed into a giant cleaver/sword easily as big as Sonic. "And I enjoy to cause physical pain!" he introduced himself, "And your spiky fur...will decorate my room!" he laughed as his teeth seemed to grow sharper due to his excitement.
"That...that's a big...sword..." Sonic gulped as Azald raised it up.
"Why thank you...All the better to kill you with!" Azald shouted, slashing it and cutting down several trees.
"Kinda slow, though," Azald turned around to see the hedgehog, "Plus...I think you're just compensating with how big it is."
"...I AM NOT COMPENSATING!"
"Ooh...Even Azald's getting it from him," Quval noted in amusement.
"Heh...he's terrified out of his sneakers," Ginis chuckled, "Yet he still makes his quips. How amusing...in how useless it is in trying to keep his spirits up to live."
-scene cut-
"...Seriously, why won't you leave me alone?" Tails asked, focusing on his plane as Miyuki stood apart from him.
"I...I just want to make sure you're alright, kyu," Miyuki responded.
"...well don't bother…" Tails snorted a bit, "Never needed you before when I was growing up, don't need you now…"
"..." Miyuki sighed sadly as her ears drooped, "I can understand why you hate me….I wasn't there when Eggman took over...I wasn't there when Kaa-san and Tou-san…" she paused as she looked down, "...I….I tried to look everywhere for you, but...I couldn't find any trace of you within the city...I...I searched the entire planet for you, Tails, hoping you were still alive…"
"..."
"I...I should've been there for you...for when you needed family the most...for when…..SHE hurt you…" Miyuki whispered, tears dropping from her eyes as they started changing into small ice crystals, "I...I felt so heart broken...knowing you were hurt...that you were all alone as a baby...I...I'm sorry…" she began to quietly sob to herself as she wrapped her arms around her body, "I'm so sorry…."
"..."
"...I know I should be happy to see you're safe, Tails...but...if you hate me...if you want me gone from your life for not being there…" Miyuki whispered as she turned around, "...I'll do that for you...I'll still visit Roll-chan to say 'hi,' but I'll leave you alone. But know this, Tails...deep down, no matter how much you hate me...no matter what kind of things you do to me...I...I still love you, Outouto…"
Tails said nothing as he laid down underneath the plane while Miyuki walked away, small ice crystal tears falling from her eyes as she walked away.
"So...that's the story…" Yamato muttered as everyone went to Yamato's and Flash's house after all of that, "I suppose I can understand why Larry-san doesn't like me."
"That's so sad…" Roll sniffled, blowing her nose in a pink handkerchief.
"Yeah...but if things were different… We'd all have been through the same," Leo spoke, the serious events calming him down to an extent of maturity, "Just because we're Mobians…" he sighed sadly as he leaned against the glass door.
Leo then looked up as Mario appeared at the glass door, holding a large hatchet, "Leo-kun."
"NYAAAAAH!" Leo cried in fear spooking his friends as he ran away and hid behind Flash, "I'm human! I'm human! Ningen desu!"
Mario opened the door and walked it, "Leo-kun, what are you talking about? I was trying to remind you. Today was your turn to chop firewood. It was your chore for the day." Mario sighed, shaking his head.
"Mou...Bad, Leo-san," Roll scolded.
"Roll-chan...you got scared, too." Amu giggled as she was holding up Roll in her arms.
"Leo-san's roars of fear are almost as scary as Yamato-san's glares or Flash Nissan bonking," Roll mumbled, blushing as she got down from Amu's arms.
"I forgot…" Leo chuckled sheepishly as he got out from behind Yamato, "Sorry, I'll take care of it now."
"That boy…" Mario shook his head as they left to go take care of the chore, "Oh, Roll-san. Haseo-kun was feeling a bit warm earlier, so I had him go to bed."
"Eh?!" Roll gasped before running to Mario's room to check on Haseo, leaving Yamato, Flash,Sela, Amu, and Tusk in the living room.
"Um, I'm gonna go and check in him aswell." Flash quickly told as he went after her.
"Hmm.. Flash for some reason is hanging around Roll and Haseo more often these days."Mario asked.
The others looked at each other in concern as they didn't wanted for Mario to find out about them yet.
"Oh,T-That's because Roll had a brother before when she was young who loved to dress up as a Fox boy"Amu quickly told as the other got her swift.
"H-Hai,He actually.. died because of a sickness a few years ago when Roll was young." Yamato said.
"Yeah, Flash reminded her of him more so does so she spend time with him to get to know him." Sela told,"So that's how both of them tend to see each other as siblings some time."
Mario looked at them as they all made sheepish smiles hoping for him to buy it."That is... GREAT NEWS."Mario cheered as the others sign in relief."Flash could use some family more na. The boy had a ruff life growing up you know. So it's atleast good for him to meet roll then. Hoping he will get out of his Truma." He muttered the last part as the other Mobian heard this.
"Truma?" They asked making Yamato and Maro looked at them.
"..Well, we'll tell you when it's the right time. It's personal a bit." Mario said as tge others got the picture as Mario left to finish the chore.
"Honestly...I can understand how the humans felt." Tusk spoke up, making them look at him. "I'm sure to them, Larry's alien appearance must have scarred them, almost like when Eggman first came to our world...or when we first met you, Yamato and Flash."
`"Yeah. only difference is Yamato and Flash had left a very good first impression. Eggman didn't." Amu pointed out.
"But still, we're talking about a totally different life form." Sela added. "When Yamato and Flash first arrived...we were all afraid...another human...another Eggman." she sighed sadly as she walked over and put a hand on Yamato's shoulder. "I'm glad we were all completely wrong. So wrong we looked stupid." she chuckled, "I'm sure Roll would say something like: I never was afraid of him at all." she joked not doing something like copying her voice.
"That's right, we all had our first impressions just by how Yamato looks, but we are more glad to get to know him. Even Tusk-kun." Amu smiled.
"Maybe…" Yamato nodded his head, "But the thought of Larry-san being in pain just from even seeing a human…Its almost as how Flash had when he was young." he trailed off as even Tusk turned to look at him from amazement at the lengths of Yamato's kindness but soon when heard the last part made him curious and not just him but the others.
The next day Larry was out in the forest, searching for herbs and plants for dinner in the forest. The Gorilla Mobian carefully looked over plants, finding what was edible and safe to eat...For him at least. As a gorilla, he had a strong stomach that could handle different foods compared to other Mobian races; but he also had to cook up something for his guests so he had to more mindful of what he gathered.
"Larry-san!" Amu called out as she, Sela, and Roll walked over to him.
"Hola Senoritas!" Larry called out happily as he put some herbs into a basket. "What brings you out here?"
"I'm here to take care of those broken parts of your hut," Roll noted, holding up a toolkit she had bought on the way back to Yamato and Mario's home yesterday, 'And avoid all this to be safe.'
"Ah! Si! That's very nice of you. It's been rather drafty," Larry nodded. "Here, let's see if we can find some more to help with dinner tonight. That way all of you can join us. After all, it's better to eat with company. The food tastes much better with others."
"No problem!" Amu beamed as she and Sela went to help while Roll ran off to the hut. "Foods always better eating together! Right, Yamato?"
"That's right." Yamato nodded...appearing out of nowhere.
"That's...ah…" Larry muttered turning to see Yamato. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he shouted as he got up and ran off...tackling through several trees.
"Well, that was a failure," Tusk bluntly stated.
"No! We're not through here!" Leo declared.
Amy looked at her cards, trying to make sense of her recent prediction, before smelling chili dogs.
"Soni...oh…" Amy frowned, seeing Roll with her kit, "What do you want?"
"I'm just here to fix up the holes here for Larry-san," Roll replied.
"...he's out right now." she said before seeing a blue blocky monster wrestling with the jungle no ouja in her cards, "No...I keep getting the same answers."
"Honestly, you're thinking too literally," Roll sighed, "If Yamato-san is right, then it might mean the 'death' is just the 'death' of someone's old perception of life."
"And you're still the same stubborn foxhog," she frowned, "My cards were literal about where I met Sonic, how I would meet you unfortunately...and you never complained when I helped find Haseo that one time."
"Because that last divination wasn't vague," Roll rolled her eyes, "It literally said where he was."
"It helped still." She said as she soon saw a vision of a beast fighting with another but this one had glowing eyes and teeth and Nine tails like the other."Ok this one is scaring me. Either it's you or it's your Half human cousin. Still can't believe it."
"Well you should na. Also I think the prediction which Flash told of 'Truth' Meaning he will see some one in different light. Will it be good or bad we don't know. But we do know is that what ever the beast is won't be him." Roll told.'But I won't say it won't be me aswell.'
"You still trying to kill Eggman?" she asked, trying to make conversation.
"Yes," Roll replied with a sigh, "There's...not really much time left…"
"You need to give up on that," Amy said.
"I was ready to give it up last year, but…" Roll briefly had a bitter, pained look to her face, "...those options were taken from me."
"...Listen, I give you crap, but I like you. I really do, honestly. I admire your body and like you as a person...but you really don't understand Sonic… He's never going to let you kill Eggman. He'll fight you and you'd have to kill him to get what you want."
"Killing Eggman is not something I want to do, it's something that I need to do," Roll frowned.
"I know. I read your family's rules, and like Sonic, I just don't agree with how life-dedicating they are." she sighed, "And really? 'Need to do?' ...You don't think Sonic ever felt like that...especially after Sally?"
Roll frowned, "I do...but unlike him, he has more time…" she turned from Amy and slid her shirt up, causing Amy to gasp at what was on her back, "Me? It ends on the sunset of my birthday."
"You...don't get it still...Sonic is not going to stop protecting Eggman and what's more...he's never gonna let you go…" she said to Roll, "...So if I was you...I'd solve this before Sonic does what Sonic does and you should know the cards agree on one thing; Sonic never loses."
Roll just gave a dry laugh as she put her shirt down, "He already made it a no-win case for me with what he said last year…"
"This is what stops you and me from being friends… You don't understand him as well as you think you do." she said, "...come on. You look like you could use a bath. There's a hot spring nearby."
"Thank you for the offer," Roll nodded, "And I do understand Sonic-san. He always follows what he believes is right." 'But what he believes in will just be for naught…'
"Well you seem effective on him…" Sonic smirked as Azald tried to stop staggering.
"What the hell? That sword burns." he muttered tapping his shoulders as it was glowing...but was unharmed.
"Humph. Who do you think I am, knave?"
"A blade that's effective on the cube alien here," Sonic replied as he whirled the sword. "And my partner." he then charged forward as he clashed with Alzad.
Larry grabbed a wooden pole and several buckets as he walked around the back of his hut.
"Oof...okay, I'll be back, Senoritas." Larry spoke as he walked towards the river.
"Good luck," Roll waved, a bit steamy from the quick hot spring dip, as she nailed another hole shut.
Larry walked his way down the path he had made for himself in the years he'd been stuck in the human world. As he did, he found Leo and Tusk walking his way.
"Oh, Ossan!" Leo shouted as they walked over to him. "Going to get water?"
"Oh si!" Larry smiled, "My hut doesn't have natural plumbing, so I need to collect quite a bit of water to do my daily chores and such. Even more with the two senoritas staying with me."
"We'll help you out." Tusk offered.
"That's right, you need two strong dudes like us to do the heavy lifting!" Leo claimed as he flexed his arms.
"Ahahaha! Thank you!" Larry smiled as they walked off down to the river.
The three then began using a smaller bucket to scoop water into the three larger ones. After a few times doing that, they filled the smaller one to get the largest possible amount of water they could with the one trip. Leo and Tusk grabbed the back end of the pole while Larry grabbed the front. They then all lifted it up, with Tusk and Leo grunting at the difficulty. While this might have seemed simple, the task at hand was one that put much strain on a person's muscles. While Leo and Tusk were the strongest of their group of friends not counting Knuckles, this task was one that pushed even them to the brink of their physical limit.
"Gah...Larry...you must be real strong…" Leo grunted as they began walking...uphill.
"Strong nothing...he's amazing!" Tusk groaned.
"Hahaha...I'm just strong enough to match you two youngsters!" Larry laughed.
"Ah...that's amazing, Larry-san!" Yamato spoke as they got within distance of Larry's home.
Larry stopped with a snort as he turned back to see Yamato helping Tusk and Leo. "NOOOOOOOOOO!" he roared as he pushed the pole and sent it and Yamato flying back through the forest.
Yamato slammed into a tree, making him cough in pain before he fell down. Yamato slowly got up, dazed more than anything, before the water from the buckets splashed over him. After another second, the buckets all fell on Yamato, knocking him down.
"Yamato!" everyone called out when they saw that.
"You!" Larry pointed at Yamato. "Why can't you just leave me alone?!"
"Oi, Ossan, that was taking it too far!" Leo shouted back in defense of his buddy.
"Shut Up!" Larry shouted, "I want nothing to do with any of you!" he shouted, pointing at everyone, "If you're gonna keep bringing that human around here!"
"Larry-san, we suffered under Eggman, but we're making best friends with Yamato," Amu said.
"NO!" he roared, "If you bring him back here, I don't want anything with any of you! Just keep away!" Larry shouted as he ran off.
"...I guess...I tried too hard...didn't I?" Yamato asked slowly as he got up, soaking wet.
Larry was now sitting behind his home as he was now in a sad expression.
"Hello Larry-san." He quickly looked and saw Flash standing there with a bag as Ki was on his shoulder."Hi, Thought I could come and talk."
"Is..Is the human with you." Larry asked him.
"No, Yamato is some place else. I thought of coming alone because I know how your feeling now." Flash told.
Larry nodded soon as Flash came and sat with him as Ki hopped off and was sitting by Flash side. Both didn't say a word as they were waiting for someone to speak.
"So, I heard what happened to you." Flash spoke thus breaking the tension."Roll told me on how your encounter went with humans."
"Amigo.. Are you mad at me.. for what I did to your family." Larry slowly asked not looking at him.
"..." Flash didn't say anything." Yeah a bit." He told him but not in anger."But I kind a see why you were like this."
"Hm?"
"I... I was actually once like this when I was a kid." Flash told thus surprising Larry.
"Really Amigo?!" Larry asked in bewilderment."But you look calm and friendly to others and only mad q bit."
"Well.. The thing is when I was young. Yamato came to visit every time when he wasn't with his parents. I was always at home and couldn't go out much without a hiding my self." Flash explained while Larry paid close attention."You see when I was young I went out to play in the jungle. But there were a problem. You see there were kids there who were playing with Yamato that time and I wanted to play. But soon when I came to them they saw my animal features and soon got scared. They started calling me a freak of nature. Yamato went and defended me from them but.."
(Flash back)
"Why are you helping this freak. His a abomination." The kid said as the other had grabbed Flash and we're holding him back. Flash struggle to break free.
"..Cause..Cause his my brother." Yamato shouted as he got up and pushed the kid back."You don't get to call him that or anything."
"Your his brother. Then your just like him." The kid mocked as he kicked Yamato in the stomach making Yamato fall back.
"YAMATO!" Flash yelled as he saw his brother being beaten by the bully.
Suddenly the one holding him from the left and right were soon flung back. The other kids were shocked. Soon the turn to see Flash as his eyes were now red instead of blue. He growled as the others stopped what they were doing and slowly got back in fright. Flash soon pounced at them.
(End)
As Flash told the tail. Larry had an expression of pure shock as he heard this.
"After that. I soon blacked out and when I woke up. I saw... I saw the kids were beaten and bruised and so was Yamato." Flash told.
"Amigo.. You... You had a tuff time." Larry said in petty."What happened next?"
"Well. The kids were still alive and so was Yamato. But,But I couldn't help but blame my self for that." Flash told in despair.
"Boy.. it wasn't your-"
"It was. It was and I caused harm to them and my family." Flash cut him off as he looked at his hands."Now I can't even go out well except with others. I hide my true feeling because of the past. Yamato and uncle Mario don't blame me but I do blame my self. But I still manage to go on with there help." Flash told him as Ki was on his lap for comfort.
"..." Larry looked down thinking what he told.
"Don't judge Yamato like the others. He's kind and will always do what it takes to help others." Flash said."He helped me,So I help him." He soon opened the bag."By the way, I brought some yogurt. I have banana and strawberry ones." He said taking them out. Larry accepted that and ate.
"Yummy~, this is so good." Larry cheered."Why haven't I try this before" he start to eat.
Flash laughed,"Careful if you eat to much, you'll get brain freeze." He told as he gave a scoop to ki as he ate.
"Gahhh!, My brain hurts!" Larry shouted holding his head.
"Oh hey, Miyuki...Tails?" Amy asked as she and Roll saw a pouting Miyuki walking by the hut
"..." Roll walked over to Miyuki and away from the hole she had finished mending, "Daijobu?"
"...he still hates me, kyu…." Miyuki whispered.
"I don't think he hates you... He's just...confused." Amy said.
"Hai," Roll agreed, giving Miyuki a reassuring hug, "I just know that your love for your little brother will get through. Just don't give up."
"...I hope so…" Miyuki whispered.
"Yeah...he just needs time. I mean...a female fox showing up, claiming to be his sister after what happened the last time he met a fox…"
Both fox and hedgefox frowned at recalling that.
"Plus he's been through a lot...I mean..he fought and beat Ixis Naugus's sister..and then the two of them together by himself...he defeated Eggman a few times...and he makes a lot of great things...I mean, everyone has a Miles Electric these days," Amy added. "He's only 8 years old, but...you gotta admit, he's grown up in ways you weren't planning I bet." Amy assured, "I know; I'm a younger sibling...put yourself in his shoes...think about him not as a sibling you want to spend time with but...as the famous Miles Tails Prower." Amy suggested.
"..." Miyuki thought on that.
"Try again...go on...I'm sure he's sorry." Amy insisted as Miyuki nodded.
"What do you think? Was I a bit too mean?" Tails asked Cube Kirin, who gave a squeak, "...You're right. I was...I shouldn't have reacted like that…" another squeak, "Heh... How did I first meet her you ask...well…"
-Flashback-
"Gah!" Sonic choked, being strangled by Miyuki's tails, "Help! Help! Mad fox! I don't even know you, lady!"
"No...but you know my little brother, kyu," Miyuki stated with a slight frown, "And last I heard, you had went out with a girl he had a crush on, kyu…" the area started to get colder as ice began to form on her tails.
"Huh? Tails don't have a sibling! Besides, he'll thank me later…" Sonic waved off despite the strangling before he finally felt the ice, "Oh god that's cold!"
"I am his older sibling, and you should've taken his feelings into account….further more…" Miyuki paused as he moved him closer to her face, "I demand you tell me where that backstabbing, abusive little bitch that smacked him is, kyu."
"How did you get so much detail about this?"
"Forgive me, Sonic, she tried to freeze me…" Nicole bowed apologetically.
"I apologize about that again, miss," Miyuki nodded to the lynx before glaring back at Sonic, "Now then….where. Is. This. Fiona Fox?"
"You can put my brother figure down." Tails said, holding his arm cannon to Miyuki's back.
"...Tails?" Miyuki whispered with wide eyes, her tails letting Sonic go as she slowly looked over her shoulder, "...it...it really is you…"
"...What? Do I…" Tails began before the nine-tailed vixen pulled him into a hug, "?!"
"Oh, thank kami-sama! You're safe, kyu," Miyuki sighed a bit as she held him close, all nine of her tails swaying happily as the area began to warm up, "I have been searching all over for you, kyu. When I heard what had happened, I hurried over and tried to find you, little brother."
"...I don't have a sibling." he said. "I think you have me mistaken…miss..."
"Miyuki. Miyuki Nanaya Prower, kyu,"Miyuki introduced herself, "And I really am your onee-chan, Tails."
"...Prove it."
"...Eto...well… "
"Are you a robot? ...Are you Eggman trying to play with my heart again?" he asked with a frown, "If so, you can stop. I'm not opening my heart to another fox Mobian and letting them hurt me again."
"?!" Miyuki's eyes widened at that as Tails began to walk away, her heart feeling like it was put into a vice as she stared at the twin-tailed fox, "...Tails...I….I am not a robot, nor am I…" she looked down sadly as Tails was no longer within hearing distance, "...Tails….gomen…"
"Honestly, Kirin… I know she's a nice person… I know she's likely my sister or definitely, but I've been alone…" he said, "Can't ask me to believe in family after the one I made with the freedom fighters...but...maybe...I should give her a chance..what do you think?" he asked Kirin, who nodded, "Yeah...when I have the chance, I'm gonna talk to her." he said before sensing something, "...protect the plane." he told Kirin as he flew off seconds before Miyuki returned.
"Phew... Three soul surges and he's still standing…" Sonic grinned. "Looks like I'm in for a good time."
"If I had my true form, this evil would be vanquished." Caliburn noted, irritated.
"I'm gonna squish ya...Rahh!" Azald said giddy before he got shot in the face multiple times but each one just bounced of his body with no harm.
"You okay, Sonic?" Tails asked, landing next to him holding the arm cannon.
"Doing fine," Sonic nodded, "This guy's really tough, though. He's taken three Soul Surges, crashed through several trees I tricked him into hitting, and a pile of nails to the feet I tricked him into stepping on."
"Well... no wonder he's still standing. You forgot to trick him of a cliff," Tail joked as he prepped the cannon, "Shall we?"
"We shall." he smirked as the both readied a spin dash and went flying at the leader.
"Heh...I'm getting tired of playing with my meal." Azald smirked as he hefted up his sword before he swung it unleashing a blinding flash of light.
"Do they really think they can win?" Quval asked, unamused at Tails and Sonic's teamplay against Azald.
"It's the blue one I like more. I see that face of his… That's the face of someone who hates losing." Ginis chuckled, amused.
Yamato sighed as he used a towel Roll gave him to dry himself off. He sat on a rock in the middle of a spot in the forest he often wandered into. This was his thinking spot. He sighed as he had to change his shirt. Luckily, his friends were fast enough to get him his spare black jacket from home.
"Hah…" Yamato sighed before he looked up to see a Deer had stumbled upon him. Yamato smiled as the animal walked closer to him, letting the young hero pet the wild animal. Ever since he became a Zyuohger, animals had become even more friendly with him then before like with Flash. "Ne...do you think I tried too hard back there?" he asked the deer. "Yeah...I think I did too." he sighed, answering his own question as he began having a one sided conversation with the wild animal.
It was this sight that Larry stumbled onto. He froze and quickly hid behind a tree, peeking out at the 'conversation.'
"Ne...What do you think would get him to like me? ...No idea, huh?" Yamato sighed, "Gomen." he chuckled, stroking its head, "I can only imagine how hard it must be for Larry-san. He suffered a different kind of pain then the others. One I don't think they understand... Except for Flash. He suffered a same pain as a kid. So now his a bit, no a lot scared of him self. But I help him to keep him happy. That's why I want to be his friend; to help him like I did with Flash."
Larry listened to that as he backed away. In spite of his fear...Larry felt bad for what he did to Yamato. His fear had not left his heart...but now he was conflicted with sadness for harming an innocent person the way that he did.He had his previous talk with Flash and his fear. Both had suffer from there past and are in Truma because of that. Larry stepped back and, in the process, crushed a stick under his foot, making it snap. The deer Yamato was petting heard this, and turned to see Larry before it ran off.
"Larry-san?" Yamato asked seeing him, Larry turned to run off like the deer as well. "Matte, Larry-san...gomen." he spoke quickly, making Larry freeze in place.
Larry took a few moments to think before he turned to face Yamato. "You...you like animals?" he asked, trying to make conversation in his own way.
"Hai…" Yamato nodded, "So much so I became a scientist who studies them." he explained, "Like you." Larry looked at Yamato at that, "You liked humans so much you wanted to study them. Then the thing you liked...became the thing you feared. I can imagine how terrible that must feel to you.I live with one who suffered the same fear like you." Larry reached to the patch on his jacket as Yamato stood up and walked up to him, "That's why I'm not scared of you, Larry-san." he took one of Larry's hands in both of his, "I'm not going to hurt you."
Larry looked down at his hand in Yamato's. Larry...didn't feel fear...he didn't panic like before. Instead, he felt calm as if a part of him that had long since felt gone...A part of him that likes humans. Feeling kindness from the species he had been interested in, but shunned him... Part of Larry was happy.
"Yamato…" Larry spoke looking at him. "You're a very good boy aren't you?" he chuckled trying to break his own awkward tension.
"Larry-san." Yamato smiled happily.
"I.. I also had a talk with Flash a while back." Larry told as he looked at him." He told me about what happened back then."
Yamato soon developed a slight serious look."He.. he told you what happened?"
"Not everything. Just about what happened when you were being beaten and nothing else." Larry quickly told.
"So.. he is still a bit troubled but doesn't remember what fully happened." Yamato muttered.'He doesn't remember her then.'
Larry looked at Yamato a bit weird when he heard that.Larry then stopped as he felt his tail bone tingle. Contrary to what one would assume, even Mobian apes like gorillas still have tails, albeit very tiny stubby ones….Like the one Larry had.
"Nani...what is this feeling? This bloodlust?"
"Tails! Tails speak to me!" Sonic pleaded to a wounded Tails, "Tails!"
"Oto!" Azald said, grabbing Sonic by his quills and lifting him up. "Focus on your own life!" Azald demanded, bashing his fist into his stomach. "What...not cocky anymore, you stupid Hedgehog?!" he laughed, raising Sonic to headbutt him, sending him flying into a tree.
"..." Sonic then got up as he staggered together, "Yeah...i'm not too happy right now…" he said gripped caliburn harder as he cause a sonic boom and Azald started to clash with Sonic who fought like a man possessed.
"Oh ohoho...i like you like this!" Azald said as he blocked with his giant cleaver sword before he backhanded Sonic sending him flying back. "But I have no more time to waste on you! I have to start my Blood Game up again. Now do me a favor and wait 'till then! I'll like seeing Gaburio eat your head!"
"I don't like waiting…" Sonic groaned, pushing himself up.
"Huh...you would'be made a great Leader on our team…" Azald chuckled, "Just joking! Little pests like you are a waste of time for me!" he said, kicking Sonic in the face and sending him rolling away. "I don't care what you like or what you want, you're all just something for me to crush to death between my fists! Now...play the game right or go to some world where they give a crap about what you think!" he shouted, getting no response "Eh...must have killed him. Whatever, now...where's my player…" he started before he was slightly surprise by a slash in the back, "what the hell…"
"I told you... I don't like...waiting." Sonic panted.
"And I told you I don't give a crap!" Azald shouted, grabbing his head and slamming him face first into the ground.
"..." Azald saw Sonic still trying to move.
"Oh that does it! I'm killing you now!" he said as he lifted him up. "Owner only wants the Zyuohgers for fun, you're just a stupid distraction!" he said as he began punching Sonic repeatedly while keeping a firm grip so he wasn't sent flying away, "You have angered me for the last time, Hedgehog!" he growled as he dropped Sonic before grabbing his cleaver sword. "Just di…" he started before ice covered his feet, "huh…" he blinked, looking at that. "What's this cold stuff?" he asked, breaking it off, "Heh. Too…" his legs were soon engulfed in ice, "...okay. Now I…"
"Kyu…." a voice growled out, a sudden cold wind blowing through the area as ice began to form along the ground.
"Nande…?" Azald asked. "What are you...another lifeform who wants to piss me off?!"
"No…." the voice spoke as Miyuki walked into the area, a frown evident on her face, "Just a very….very...very pissed off kitsune, kyu…"
"The hell is that?!" Azald asked walking forward. "Ah whatever...you're not important to the game," he said, lifting up his sword as he aimed it at Sonic. "But it won't be able to begin until I collect his head!"
"...I didn't come alone….teme," Miyuki frowned.
"Eh?"
"Where's the talking sword, kyu?" Miyuki questioned.
"Huh?" Azald looked at Sonic, not seeing Caliburn.
"Kaosu…" a voice spoke before a series of energy-made slashes slammed into Azalad, "GIRI!"
Azald let the attack hit him, causing an explosion. The alien just walked out of the smoke, unharmed, and looking even more angry than anything else.
"Okay...Who did that?" Azald demanded.
"You're really durable, Caliburn-sama," Roll noted as she stood between Azald and Sonic.
"Thank you, Lady Roll. Though please do not do that again with me. It feels...strange."
"Oi...you!" Azald spoke, pointing at Roll with his block hand. "What you think you're doing interrupting my Blood Game?"
"...We might have our differences right now, but Sonic-san is important to me," Roll informed, "I won't let you kill him."
"Eh...why should I care about that? Such reasoning is as interesting to me as the dirt under my feet!" Azald stated. "I want to begin the game, and he got in my way." he explained, "That's it and all there is to it." he snarled as he gripped his sword, which began glowing.
"Lady Roll, Lady Miyuki, leave now!" Caliburn panicked as Azlad lifted his blade.
"ROT IN HELL, YOU LOWER LIFE FORMS!" Azald roared as he slashed his sword, creating a giant crescent of raw energy that flew at them.
As the shock wave came at them, Sonic and Tails appeared behind the girls. Tails smacked Miyuki a far distance with his namesakes while Sonic kicked Roll away. The two girls cried out in shock as Sonic and Tails took the blow themselves.
Flash tail had rose up as he knew the danger."Looks like trouble is hear." He soon ran.
As he was going on his way the hooded figure from before was there and was looking at Flash.She suddenly ran in a blur as she went behind Flash. Flash had less time to react as he was suddenly knocked out by a chop on the neck. He soon was clouded by darkness. The figure looked at the unconscious boy as he laid there. Ki came in as he saw this. He saw the hooded figure and suddenly ran at her happily like he knew her. The figure knelt down and petted him.
"It's good to see you Ki. Looks like you found him." She spoke as she scratch his ear making him purr. She looked back at Flash."Your not ready to face him my boy. You may lose control again." She thought in worry.
"Is this a good idea." She heard but didn't look back as the other hooded figure came in from behind.
"I'm doing this so he won't hurt him self again. You know what happened." She told.
"I'm just as worried as you. But are you sure you could keep on not to involve your self with him. He will find out one day."
"That day isn't today. When he will,he will," she strictly told.
"..." The other didn't say anything."I just hope that Ivo be alright."
"He will be bud. I want let anything happen to them even if what I'm now. Once the time comes the truth will be told to him." She said,"About everything, about me,about Ivo, about Storm and about Her ." She had venom at the last sentence.
"I just hope it won't turn out hell." Another voice came in.
"We won't be sure." Was all the hooded female could say as she looked at the sleeping Flash. She rubbed his hair gently as she looked at him.
"It came this way." Tusk said as they ran towards the area the fighting was heard before hearing Roll and Miyuki's screams.
"Guys!" Leo shouted, running towards the screams.
"Minna!" Amu called out as they entered the area of the explosion and quickly finding a motionless Sonic and Tails, "Oh no…"
"Sonic! Tails!" Leo shouted as he ran up to them. "What happened?!" he shouted, sliding along the ground as he stopped next to Roll as she held up an out cold Sonic, a large bruise across his chest visible through the tear in his cloths and through his fur. "Oi...Sonic!?" he called out in worry.
"Sonikku…" Roll whispered, tears welling in her eyes.
"Tails….Tails please….wake up…" Miyuki whispered as she held an unconscious Tails, blood dripping from his mouth, "Please…"
"Heh...I told them to run." Azald spoke up as the smoke cleared. "But then they went and pissed me off!" he ranted as a sudden gust of wind knocked most all of the Mobians back. Their tails all shooting up and shaking so much...it actually kind of hurt.
"...take them away…" Tusk frowned as he kept his eyes on Azlad.
"Good advice; all of you get!" Azald shouted. "I need to find my player, Zyuohgers. Come back when the game starts. Be smart unlike those two idiots right there."
"Shut up teme!" Leo snapped, "If there's one thing great about them is Tails is smart and Sonic is a jerk but he never gives up!"
"Well 'cause of that, I had to beat him into a coma." Azald countered, "He's not dead. I can't smell death." Azald explained sniffing the air. "If anything they'll be awake in a few days."
"Well another thing he is regrettable...is our prince...and if he can't give up, it's a bad example for us to dishonor him by running." Sela frowned "And you hurt a kid. I'm definitely not forgiving you."
"The Brat did it to himself by shoving the cold woman out of the way. He should have let her take the blow." Azald countered. "If anything…" he spoke pointing at Roll and Miyuki. "It's their fault they ended up like this."
"..." Miyuki said nothing as she held Tails close, her hair shadowing over her eyes as she stood up.
"..." Roll flinched as she scooped up Sonic, trying not to aggravate any open wounds.
"Tusk said run away! Now RUN!" Leo roared as the two freaked and ran off; for once, Leo as well as the others had a very enraged aura. "Minna...Ikuzo!"
"Hai!" they all agreed.
"Honoo Kakusei!" they called out in unison.
=SHARK~LION~ELEPHANT~TIGER~!=
With that, the four charged forward at Azald while they flashed into the Zyuohgers. All four of them aimed and fired their Zyuoh Busters, but each shot just bounced off Azald. Azald grunted as he blocked all their swings before he grunted and a pulse of 'Killing Intent' sent them all stumbling away.
"What is he?" Tiger asked in surprise.
Lion roared as he formed his sword and slashed at Azald who blocked with his arms. Azald then blocked another slash from Shark. Tiger and Elephant both jumped and slashed Azalds' back. The Alien grunted as he spun around and knocked them all away. Azald grabbed his sword as he slashed Lion sending him stumbling back before he swung and fired a shockwave at the other three.
"Minna!" Yamato's voice shouted as Azald looked up as Yamato ran over to the scene with Larry right behind him.
"Now the whole crayon box is here!" Azald complained. "Why can't none of ya just listen to me and wait for the game to begin?!"He shouted,"Wait only five of you. Where's the Fox half breed orange one. Never mind he will be later. He seemed stronger then you."
"Who is that?" Yamato asked.
"I'm Azald!" said alien shouted again, "I'm a Deathgalien Team Leader!"
"No! What you are is a cold heartless monster!" Shark roared.
"Why thank you!" Azald said as he punched the ground, making everything shake and caused them all to fall over. "That's the sweetest thing any prey has ever said to me!"
"Stop acting big! You didn't scare Sonic, so you don't scare us!" tiger growled.
"Huh...you're saying that blue rat wasn't scared?" Azald asked, "Ha! That's a laugh...He was shaking in his shoes when I shrugged off his big shiny sword trick. And the look when I punched his brat into a tree? Now that was pure...terror." he laughed, making them all just stare at Azald in shock and anger. "And I loved it...the look on his face as I hit him while he worried over the brat! That was fear and it...was...sweet!"
"...Repeat that…" Yamato said as he trembled.
"I beat the ever living life out of both of them...the short one went down the fastest...one good punch. Too bad...I wanted to hear a nice loud...snap from the blow to his chest." Azald chuckled as Yamato walked forward.
"Honoo...Kakusei." Yamato said as he flashed into Zyuoh Eagle.
"Ah...so we doing this then?" Azald asked.
"Ozora no Ouja...Zyuoh Eagle!" Eagle roared as he charged forward with his Eagriser.
"Araumi no Ouja! Zyuoh Shark!" Shark said as she joined him.
"Savanna no Ouja! Zyuoh Lion!"
"Shinrin No Ouja! Zyuoh Elephant!
"Setsugen no Ouja! Zyuoh Tiger!"
"We don't have Flash right now. Don't know were he is so you'll be dealing with us." Eagle shouted.
With that, all five of the Zyuohgers charged at Azald who swung and missed before all of them began attacking at once. Each of them slashed at his body attacking his joints making him stumble about.
"Teme...the only thing Sonic was worried about was Tails's well being! How dare you mock his love for his friends!" Lion roared as Eagle jumped off his back and came down with a slash.
"What do I care?!" Azald asked as he punched Eagle in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him. "This only happened because none of you stupid lifeforms know the word 'go away!'" he said, tossing Eagle away before he blocked Lion's sword and backhanded him. "The game is all that matters to me!" he shouted as he grabbed his sword and slashed Elephant before blocking Shark and Tiger. He then spun around while lighting up his sword, unleashing a shockwave that knocked all five Zyuohgers away from him.
"Ah!" Elephant cried in pain. "How strong is he…?" he grunted.
"This is the power of the Deathgalien higher ups?" Tiger grunted as she slowly got back up.
"We're the Ace when you need him the most." Lion grunted.
"He better have a good explanation for not showing up in time." Shark said.
"Stay back…" Larry said as he lead the others away from the fighting. "Ahh... poor amigo…" he spoke softly at seeing Tails.
"Ha!" the Zyuohgers shouted, attacking Azald as he blocked all their attacks.
The Team Leader swung his sword as he struck Elephant and Shark knocking them away. He then blocked a slash from Lion and Tiger before pushing them back. Azald was then slashed by the whip mode of the Eagriser.
"Come on, he's just a kid. Make another damn baby!" Azald shouted grabbing the whip before yanking it and swinging Eagle and slamming him through several trees. Azald then swung his sword, sending a shockwave at Elephant and Lion and knocking them over.
"Yasei Kaihou!" Tiger and Shark shouted. Shark jumped as she began spinning before Tiger slashed her claws, her energy claws hitting Shark before freezing her water into a circular saw blade made of ice. Shark then shot forward at Azald, who used his sword to block the attack.
"HA!" Azald roared as he pushed Shark away before he swung his sword and slammed it into her, sending her flying away and flashing out of her suit.
"Sela-chan!" Tiger called out in surprise.
"Yasei Kaihou!" Lion and Elephant shouted as they ran at him. Elephant stomped his foot, sending a shockwave, as Lion slammed his claws on the ground. Electricity surged along the ground with the shockwave, making the ground flash yellow. As the shockwave hit Azald, a large explosion occurred before a bolt of lightning shot up...and summoned down a huge thunderbolt ontop of Azald.
"Did we get him!?" Lion asked.
"HA!" Azald roared as he launched another shock wave at them from his sword. The attack hit with a big explosion, sending both Lion and Elephant flying back as their suits flashed away, letting Leo and Tusk fall to the ground.
"Leo, Tusk?" Tiger asked as she helped Eagle stand up.
"Teme…" Eagle groaned pulling out his Zyuoh Buster in sword mode. "AH!" he roared, charging at Azald and slashing at him only for each strike to bounce off his body.
"Just go wait till the game begins!" Azald roared, punching Eagle and knocking the wind out of his lungs.
"Omae...yurusenai…" Eagle groaned, grabbing Azald's arm.
"What do I care?!" Azald roared as he slashed his sword across Eagle's chest...leaving a gash in his suit's tunic.
"Yamato!" Tiger gasped.
"You stay where you are!" Azald shouted as he swung his sword, sending yet another shockwave that hit her and knocked her out of her suit.
Larry came back to see Eagle taking flight to try to get a better advantage over Azald, "Strange...How can a human use a Mobian eagle's power?" he asked in curiosity as Roll rushed past him to check on the others, a medical kit in hand, "Oh! Is it something to do with the Kings Credential? Does it grant humans the use of Mobian powers?"
"HA!" Eagle shouted while swooping in and attacking Azald, actually making him stumble while trying to swing at him.
"Get back here you!" Azald roared, grabbing Eagle's leg. He then slammed the Zyuohger leader into the ground hard before lifting him up and doing it again. "There…" he grunted, turning around before Eagle grabbed his leg. "Nani?" he asked, turning to look at Eagle.
"I...won't let you get away with treating life like this…." Eagle grunted. "My friends...aren't part of your stupid game...life isn't something you can play with like this!"
"Tsk…" Azald clicked his tongue as he lifted Eagle up. "You've got a real big mouth on you, don't ya?" he asked as he lifted his sword up high. "We don't need five Zyuohgers to play!" he shouted as he slashed his sword down and cut through Eagle's suit.
After a moment, Eagle's suit faded away in red light. Yamato stood there...a large gash in his clothes, revealing a large cut along his torso. Yamato coughed as he stepped back, his eyes losing all signs of life slowly. Azald swung his blade, sending another shockwave and struck Yamato.
"Yamato!" the others all cried in shock as he was sent flying away.
"Heh...stupid lower life form." Azald grunted as Yamato fell to the ground before rolling down hill and into a river bed.
Larry, hiding in the growth, made his way towards the hill and looked out, seeing Yamato laying against a rock, not moving. Larry looked down at the poor boy and the wounds he sustained. Yamato's words from before suddenly rang in his head…
'I'm not scared of you...I'm not going to hurt you.' The words of Yamato rang in Larry's head...the first human to show him kindness...to respond to Larry and resonate with him...The first human Larry connected with.'Yamato was the one who was always there for me. Even in my hard times he and uncle always looked out for me. Cause that's just how Yamato is' Flash words rang in his head.
"..." Larry jumped down as he looked around before he spotted Yamato's Zyuoh changer. "Hang on...I'm going to help you Yamato!" Larry stated proudly as he held up the Zyuoh changer and walked over to the human. Larry then gently placed the changer into Yamato's hand before holding his own hands over it.
At that point, Leo, Sela, Tusk, Amu, Roll, Miyuki and Amy arrived to see what was happening. Larry gently closed Yamato's hand around the Zyuoh changer before he bowed his head.
"Oh no…" Miyuki whispered with wide eyes, seeing the fatal wound on Yamato.
"Ouja no shikaku…" Larry spoke "Please...lend me your power...let me help him!" he begged of the ancient item as it began glowing brightly. After a moment, a red aura began to glow around Larry before it moved along his arm and to Yamato. The aura spread over Yamato's body before it began healing all his wounds, every cut, bruise and the large slash across his chest...all of them faded away as if they never happened.
"Larry-san...he's healing Yamato?" Amu spoke.
"Larry is sending his power into Yamato." Tusk explained in shock as Yamato's wounds vanished into thin air. "...wait...Amy...what was your prediction?"
"When the truth will reveal... The sleeping beast will rise.. and hell will lose upon us."
"No the other one!"
"...At the cost of life...the Jungle no Ouja will awaken his massive strength...the moment has been prepared."
"Masaka…" Leo muttered, hearing that.
Yamato's eyes slowly opened as he looked up at Larry. "Larry-san?"
"Hola!" Larry greeted happily as he let go of Yamato's hand. "How are you feeling, champ?"
"I felt a warm power flowing over me…" Yamato replied as he slowly sat up against a rock, Larry nodding in response to that, "Larry-san...did you save me?"
"We're amigos, aren't we?" Larry replied simply as he pushed the Zyuoh Changer to Yamato's chest. Yamato smiled happily with a nod.
"Tough luck!" a voice shouted as Azald jumped over the other Mobians before he brought his sword down to strike Yamato and Larry. Yamato pushed Larry aside in time as Azald hit nothing but random rock.
Yamato flashed into Zyuoh Eagle instantly as he turned to face Azald who jumped and slashed down on the shoulder he wounded before. But Zyuoh Eagle grabbed his sword...and held it there. Azald pushed...but his sword refused to budge.
"He blocked it?" Leo blinked twice.
"He blocked the blade?" Roll's eyes widened.
"You blocked that?!" Azald asked in surprise.
"Nani….?" Eagle asked equally shocked. "A power like I never felt before is swelling up inside of me…" he grunted holding Azald in place.
"Yamato's gotten stronger…" Tusk noted in surprise.
"Yeah...he was almost dead…" Sela added.
"Yamato!" Amy called out, getting his attention, "The Ouja of the Jungle is waiting!"
"Soka!" Eagle shouted as he pulled Azald's sword aside against the alien's will. "I get it… This is...this is the power Larry-san gave me!" he roared, tossing Azald away from him.
"Huh?" Azald blinked at that...no life form has ever overpowered him.
"Honoo...Kakusei!" Eagle roared as he raised his hand to his mask and he grabbed the yellow 'beak' of his visor before pulled it up...and to everyone's shock, that portion of his helmet just slid up like a visor; revealing the screen he used to see was larger and extended down into streaks, framing his new silver face mask resembling the nostrils of a gorilla, the green 'eyes' still in their same spot.
At that, a huge burst of hot air formed around Zyuoh Eagle as the namesake symbol on his tunic lifted off...and evaporated. His tunic then became black before red lines formed the shape of a gorilla's face. After a few seconds, his arms began swelling in size along with his torso. Eagle's chest buffed up to almost twice if not three times the size. The red suit...strained trying to contain the new muscles underneath.
"Jungle no Ouja! Zyuoh...GORILLA!" Gorilla roared before bashing his fists together, creating a loud bang. He then jumped up and slammed his fists down, causing the ground to shake before he flexed his new arms making them ripple with power.
"N-nani?!" Miyuki gasped.
"Amy's prediction was right…" Tusk said in amazement.
"That's the most manly thing I've ever seen…" Leo muttered. "He turned into a gorilla!" he gawked as Gorilla banged his chest.
"Wow!" Larry gawked, seeing Yamato's new transformation.
"Told you it was metaphorical," Roll deadpanned.
"Roll not now." Sela frowned.
"Sugei! He's so big!" Amu awed as Gorilla glared at Azald who glared back.
"You hurt Tails...a little boy…" he said, taking a step, "You hurt Sonic and mocked his care for his friend…" he said as he banged on his chest loudly, "You hurt the people I call my friends...I won't forgive you, Azald! Sa...prepare yourself!" he roared charging at him.
"You think you can compare to my power just 'cause you beefed up!?" Azald countered, swinging his sword...only for Gorilla to backhand Azald across the face, sending his sword flying off miles away. "What the-?!" he asked before he was belted across the face.
"HA!" Gorilla roared, punching him across the face again. "Come on! Where's that strength you like flaunting so much?" he demanded, delivering a punch to Azald's gut, making him double over. Gorilla then defied gravity as he flipped forward and slammed a hammer fist strike to Azald's back, crushing him into the river bed...and shaking nearly the entire forest.
"Yeah, that's it! Keep going, Yamato!" Larry cheered.
"Sa...who's the strongest...is it me or is it you?!" Gorilla roared as his new gorilla nature compelled him to begin banging on his chest again; each time he slapped his chest, a loud clash could be heard. "Or maybe you like fighting kids more?"
"...Just make another damn kid…" Azald groaned before Gorilla grabbed him by his shoulder before landing a left hook to his face.
"Koi!" Gorilla growled, dragging Azald off.
"That's right! Left then right!" Larry cheered on happily as Gorilla began punching Azald across the face; each time, small chips forming in his head. "Get that son of a bitch!...pardon my fren...ohh.." Larry groaned, staggering before Amy caught him. "Ah thank you Senorita…" he groaned, "I suddenly feel very tired."
"Larry...come on...I'll take you somewhere." Amy said in worry as she helped him away.
The others all followed Gorilla as he dragged Azald back into the forest. The new Zyuohger punched Azald repeatedly and pushing aside all of his punches like nothing.
"What are you doing? Slapping me?" Gorrilla demanded as he took enough punches, "What, you can't hit harder?!" he snapped, banging on his chest. "Come on! This is my jungle!" he roared, grabbing Azald's fists as he tried a double punch.
"He is really getting into the act of being a territorial Gorilla Mobian," Roll sweatdropped.
"No...he's just really mad." Amu said.
"Is there a difference in attitudes?" Leo joked before Sela slapped the back of his head.
Gorilla and Azald wrestled there before Gorilla slowly pulled Azald's arms down. He then grunted lifted Azald up before leaning back...and slamming Azald headfirst into the ground. Gorilla didn't stop there as he grabbed Azald around his waist before lifting him up. Gorilla roared as he slammed Azald back headfirst into the ground with a pile driver making a crater in the ground. Azald groaned, getting up before Gorilla wrapped his arms around his neck and trapped him in a choke hold.
"Let go...let go!" Azald grunted, smacking Gorilla's arm and elbowed his side.
"You asked for it!" Gorilla growled as he jumped up before spinning around in the air and coming down headfirst, slamming Azald into the ground once more.
"Ugh…" Azald groaned, dazed, before Gorilla lifted him up.
Gorilla then spun Azald around before pulling him in close and landing a powerful close line to his neck and sent the blue alien flipping through the air. Azald flipped over and got back up as Gorilla turned around. The Zyuohger then took a deep breath before he snorted and unleashed a powerful gust of wind from his mouthguard, the wind quickly becoming a hurricane force gale wind that began pushing Azald back along the ground then into and through several trees, creating a new route in the forest.
Azald slammed into a tree with a grunt before he looked up...and Gorilla slammed his shoulder into Azald's chest. Azald gasped as he was once again sent through the forest trees and bushes uprooted from Gorilla's full force tackle.
"Yamato-kun, sugoi!" Amu called out as everyone ran after the fighters.
"Yamato is as strong as Azald." Tusk gawked.
"That's the manliest fight I've ever seen!" Leo roared as Gorilla closelined Azald again, sending him flying back.
"COME ON! POWER BOMB HIS ASS INTO OBLIVION!" Miyuki snapped, earning wide-eyed looks from the others, "...Ahem. Gomen…"
"AH!" Gorilla roared as he began punching wildly at Azald.
"GAH!" Azald shouted as he punched back.
Both giant fighters began swinging back and forth their arms, rushing past one another in their mad rush of attacks. Both then slammed their fists into one another, causing another shockwave that shook the forest. Both growled before they began swinging again...despite their heavy builds, their fists were swinging at amazing speeds. To most of them...all they could see were the shockwaves of their fists clashing against one another. The wind and shockwaves from each powerful clash...were even pushing the others away.
"...Gahh!" Azald cried as he held the last arm he clashed with Gorilla.
"Eh..what happen?"
-5 second rewind-
"HAH!" they roared as Azald's fist covered in his aura collided with Gorilla's fist. After a moment...Azald's arm lit up as joints and segments within began exploding.
-Normal time-
"He overpowered that blocky guy," Roll awed.
"Ah…" Azald groaned as his arm went limp...it even seemed to be dislocated.
"Yamato Kazakiri...I always saw myself as a good guy...I love animals..I love my adopted brother even if his from a different family and is different from others....I met Mobians..I loved them at first sight... I could talk to them...we could talk back...they suffer...humans suffer...He suffered....We have so much in common...I let my friends live with me.. Flash when ever is down I help him up from his depression.....Leo snores and keep me awake, but I'd still be his wingman...Tusk is a bit mean, but I still enjoy talking with him...Sela uses all the bathwater, but I'll still take her to the waterparks or beach, Roll and Haseo are lovely siblings and are important to Flash. He and I enjoy their company...Sonic and I have fun races...Tails...impresses me everyday with his inventions...Amu forces me to go shopping with her, but I like her smile…" Gorilla growled as all his muscles began flexing and looking even bigger as the air around him grew hotter and hotter, "But Deathgalien...they make a furious side of me come out...and I don't like it...I have to smash you...all...because you're evil...but you….you...nearly killed a little boy and laughed at Sonic for caring...If Sonic could, he would've destroyed you...now I need you to send a message to your boss."
"Nani?" Azald asked, completely confused by all of his talking.
"The winner of fights are often called 'justice'...now take the justice...of Zyuoh Gorilla to hell, AZALD!" he roared as his entire left arm ignited with fire, "Super GORILLA PUNCH!" he roared as he slammed an uppercut to Azald's chin, making him clench his teeth before he was sent flying into the sky; the blue alien flew high into the atmosphere until he became nothing but a small glint in the distance.
After a few moments, though...Azald's body came back down...burning red from atmospheric reentry before he slammed into the ground like a meteor. Azald groaned as red sparks came off him.
"...Bakana...A lower life form like you…" Azald groaned before chuckling in pain as he looked at Zyuoh Gorilla, "For an inferior lifeform...that was pretty good."
"We told you, didn't we?" Gorilla remained as he turned away before looking back over his shoulder, "Kono hoshi yo...nameruna yo." he growled, walking away.
"...ahahaha...ahahaha...ahahahah...HA!" Azald laughed before he exploded, cubes falling all over.
Gorilla began banging his chest again as he roared at the sky.
"Unbelieveable…! First that half breed fox defeat Jagged, then this gorilla defeated Azald?!" Quval gasped in shock.
"...Zyuoh Gorilla...you do indeed deserve this round...I look forward to the next…" Ginis smirked, "...Naria...those files you stole from Nicole...I need to see them. I want to break that hedgehog."
"Hai…" she nodded before walking to the teleporter.
"Oh, and Naria...he won't be needing a Continue," Ginis added, making Quval and Naria look at him in shock and confusion. "Oh, I am loving this planet."
"Ite-ite-ite-ite-ite!" Leo hissed as he tried to back away from the alcohol-soaked cotton ball Roll was using on his cuts.
"Wait...Tails finished his medibot...we should go get that," Tusk said.
"Iie," Roll replied, "That is being used on Tails-chan and...Sonic-san…"
"He has multiple…" Tusk sighed.
"...He just had two on hand…" Sela said.
"...Yamato...you, okay?" Amu asked, petting his shoulder.
"Ah...I'm fine." he nodded simply.
"Man, you surprised us back there, man! We were all worried because you looked dead, but then you got up and whooped that Pop Art-looking bastard's cube ass to bits!" Leo chuckled as Roll dabbed his cheek. "Ah! Jeez, that stings…"
"It's all thanks to Larry's power." Yamato muttered, flexting slightly to joke around.
"Hey... We owe Tails money! He's said the next Zyuohger'd be a human. He never said it'd be the same human, so he wins." Leo chuckled.
"Ahhahaha…" everyone chuckled.
"I knew we could count on Amy-chan's predictions! They never lead me wrong." Amu cheered as Yamato blinked in realization.
"...cost of a life...a new Zyuohger..I didn't die...Tails and Sonic are on the brink...then...where's Flash and Larry-san!?"
"Eh…" everyone blinked.
"Where's Amy as well?" Roll pondered, not seeing the pink hedgehog.
"Eh…?" Yamato asked, looking around. "Ah...Where did they go?"
"You don't think…" Leo freaked.
"Miyuki-san, Roll-san, take Sonic and Tails to his hangar. Minna, let's search for Flash Larry-san and Amy-chan!" Yamato ordered.
"Begin the search!" Amu agreed.
"But wait does that mean that Amy prediction about the sleeping beast and he'll coming could that be true aswell." Tusk suddenly said making them stop.
"Well.. well think about that later first we gotta find them." Yamato said in serious toon.
"Ok mina it's time to search for a missing fox and gorilla and a childish girl." Amu cheered.
Eggman's Legal Troubles! Part 4
"...space...the final frontier….we're boldly going where..no man...has gone before..this...is Captain Kirk Cubot of the Eggman Enterprise…" Cubot spoke, his voice once again altered.
"Are you...you are. You're William…"
"Ah...trademarks." Cubot cut off Orbot.
"His name's not trademarked…"
"I am...in voking...both...modern and classic Krik..its..not..going well. Mister spock It is up here." Cubot spoke.
"Can it, you rust buckets, before I throw you out of airlock," Eggman threatened.
"We...do not..need to breath."
"With your Self Destruct activated," Eggman added.
"But...no air...no boom." Cubot argued dramatically, "Besides I am prepared..for death...with the ship!"
"I...seriously need to do something about your voice chip…" Eggman shook his head, before seeing a silver space ship, "There! My Eggboss is in there...Orbot, who's in there?"
"...Thunderbolt."
"...Turn the ship around," Eggman ordered.
"No...full speed ahead, Scotty!" Cubot declared, pressing the thruster button.
"Hey! I'm the leader here!" Eggman snapped, clonking Cubot with a wrench.
"...Mister Spock reporting in…" Cubot said, holding his hand up, "Live long and prosper...ramming speed, Captain."
"Ramming!? Wh…"
"Ahh!" a man panicked, feeling a quake, "Earthquake!" he shouted, jumping out of his chair and grabbing a leather jacket. "Wait...this is impossible." he muttered.
"Also...we're in space." a woman wearing an alien uniform of some sorts, colored in silver and purple; spoke. "Also, you were dreaming about Itsuki again…"
"...No I wasn't…" the man replied.
"Itsuki, you fill out that racer suit so nicely, you tigh…" she quoted in a sleeping voice.
"Ah! Ah! That's totally illegal."
"Not when your partner is a sleep talker."
"I so am not a sleep talker...you read my mind with your alien powers...yeah, that's it." he muttered.
"Geki...I don't have that power."
"Ahahaha! I bet it's Lord Eggman here to free his loyal Eggboss, you stupid filthy monkeys!" a small, yellow, Mobian chinchilla shouted, trapped in a dog cage.
"Oh yeah...we found this weird alien." Geki noted, leaning forward. "Ne...what planet do you come from? We can drop you off at home...if you stop attacking me!"
"I come from Mobius but now that you have capture me your pitiful world will be captured by the Eggman Empire! And he's gonna Roboticize you."
"He's gonna what…"
"Turn you into robots and enslave you like he did all my people back home 'till that blue hedgehog rebel got in the way! Now free me and bow before Eggman! Bow to him!"
"Hai...What was that last part?" Geki asked, writing that down.
"What are you doing?" the alien girl asked.
"Oh, writing this down so the Space Sheriffs can legally go to this world and arrest Eggman." Geki explained, "I'm sure for his crimes, he'll be sent to life in prison... Since, you know, senpai got rid of the executions."
"How dare you!" the Mobian snapped, firing a thunderbolt from her mouth.
"Whoa!" Geki cried, dodging it as it hit a door, making it open, "Hah! Missed!" he teased as he pulled his eyelid down, taunting the...well...he describes it as a humanoid chinchilla, so that is what he calls it.
"Too bad. She's so cute...in a killer dog kinda way…" The alien girl chuckled.
"I am not a dog!" the chinchilla snapped, sending another at the alien girl.
"Meep!" she cried, ducking it as it hit a wall and bounced off...and directly back at the Chinchilla.
"Oohhh yeah~! I like that…" she giggled as it recharged her.
"This thing's unnerving…" Geki complained.
"..." she then squealed.
"Why are you squea…?" Geki started.
"Surprise!" Eggman declared, tackling Geki.
Geki, however, took that, rolled forward, and locked Eggman's arms behind his back before locking him in the hold with his face left plastered in one of Geki's many stains on the ship.
"Who the hell are you, fatty?" Geki asked tightening the grip.
"You damn poacher! Let go of my lovely Thunderbolt!" Eggman demanded, 'Ech! Ech! Orbot, I'm dismantling you for this!'
"Eeee!" the chinchilla squealed at that.
"Thunderbolt?" the alien girl asked.
"Yeah, you poacher…"
"Whoa, whoa! Sir, we're not poachers…"
"You're not?" Eggman asked.
"Yes sir..mister…"
"Eggman…" Geki then whipped out a sword, "...She said something about me being a tyrant again, right? I am so sorry. She has such an overactive imagination…"
"Eh...is that so?" Geki asked, keeping the sword tightly against his neck.
"Do I look like an overlord of an entire planet? Look at me. I need the gym so badly."
"You look like a tubby Einstein." the alien girl smiled.
"Oh come on! I got that enough in middle school gym from the girls!"
"She's an alien…" Geki explained. "Why did you ram into my ship?"
"I thought you were kidnapping. She has a tracking device...Orbot! Cubot! Come in..," he said as they did, "They tracked her here." 'And crashed the ship because I did not want to come here for her!'
"It's true, officer. We simply came to collect. We were prepared for war." Cubot stated, holding up a random box.
"Oh! A present?" Geki asked.
"Don't listen to him. Please, sir...I can tell your vessel has more than enough power to wipe out a small city." Orbot spoke.
"You're not wrong...is that supposed to be Spock?" Geki asked as he and Shelly approached Cubot.
"Yes. I have his voice down perfectly."
"Oh cool! What else you have down?"
"This." he said before pinching their necks.
"..oh...no…" Geki said as he and Shelly went down.
"...Now I'm unsure if downloading those movies was a bad idea or not," Eggman noted, "Wait... running, snatch, and run!" he said, grabbing Thunderbolt's cage and running as Cubot and Orbot stole the fridge, and some papers before bailing…
"Shelly, I can't feel my legs. What happened…?"
"I think we got Spocked."
"...Darn Vulcan Nerve Pinch.
"BOOK IT!" Eggman shouted as they flew off. "Are they following...please tell me they're not following!?" he shouted, shaking Cubot roughly.
"I knew you'd come for me, Lord Eggman!"
"Bitch, shut up and give me useful info!"
"Oh! Well, I have the tracker for all the egg bosses."
"That's useful." Orbot replied as he was driving. "Also...we could have you know...stolen the ship but no this is fine and whatever…"
"As long as...nothing goes wrong, it'll be smooth sailing from here, captain…" Cubot said as no one was aware of another ship sneaking up on them. Cubot looked out a window before he saw a red eye glare at him from it. "Oh no."
To be continued.
