Chapter 6: Ruins of Echindas, Kawaii Hiei meeting Chaos

The X-Tornado was flying over the jungle area, about 160 miles away in the west of Station Square. Sonic was on the ground running as usual, showing off amazing agility and dexterity of hopping/dodging large branches and vines while maintaining top speed. "Tails, do you have any idea where we are?" Marlene inquired as she looked down at the beautiful green jungle below.

"We're somewhere in the Lost World, a jungle area back in our world. I don't know why its here in the first place." Tails answered back. He was baffled greatly at this discovery. The jungle in his and Sonic's world was off-limits to any and all people, many claiming that it was haunted and that dangerous animals lived there. 'Maybe parts of our world mixed into this one after Chaos Control.' he theorized.

"Hey Tails, better land the jet. It can't go into this thick jungle, and trying to see from the air is impossible with all the foliage on top." Sonic called out from the receiver. Tails gave Sonic a mini-microtransiver, letting his blue friend talk to him in the jet while he ran on foot. "Roger that Sonic. We're coming down!" Tails replied before starting his descent.

The group landed in a clearing, Sonic meeting up with them fast. "So, what do we do next?" Amy asked. Tails took out a small circle metallic object. "My radar here says a Chaos Emerald is in the jungle, and I'm willing to bet that if we find the Emerald. we find Eggman." Tails answered. Marlene was now eager to find this doctor and demand that he give back Chibi Hiei. If not. well, the jungle would quickly turn from green to red fast.

"Well, come on then! No time to waste." Sonic shouted out before taking off into the jungle. "Hey, wait for me you speed freak!" Marlene called out as she changed into her demon form and went after him. Luckily for her, her youkai abilities helped her manage to keep up with the speedy hedgehog. Tails called out for them to wait as he zipped fast after them, with the help of his two tails propelling him along. Amy and Chris merely sighed and ran off to see if they could catch up.

As they all progressed into the heart of the forbidden jungle, they ran into some nasty creatures. However, they were all mechnical and seemed to be programmed to stop Sonic and his friends at all cost. Marlene punched a robotic mesquito away from her, mumbling on how she detested insects. Sonic was using his Sonic Spin and Light Dash Attack to destroy the Badniks while collecting some Power Rings to regain his energy.

Amy Rose was using her Piko Piko mallet to smash the mecha-badninks into scrap heaps while Tails used his two tails as blades to smash and the knock the robots into some murky swamp waters that were nearby. Chris was using his wits and the enviroment to his advantage, such as pulling back long thick branches and releasing when the metal menacies were at the right stop. You'd be surprised how far a mechanical bug can go after being hit like that.

"Man, where are all these mechanical morons coming from!?" Marlene exclaimed after stomping a large mechanical caterpiller on the head, putting it out of commission. Everyone was too occupied with their own troubles to notice her inhuman body. Sonic answered that Eggman must be here, sending the robots in to stall for time. "We got to hurry! I'm going to make that jerk squeal and tell me where Chibi Hiei is!" The blonde neko started to go deeper into the jungle, leaving a trail of robotic destruction in her wake.

Sonic shook his head and mumbled "She's more pushy then Amy." He followed close behind, the others catching up with them. If they all bothered to stick around a little bit more, they would have seen a large blue cat with a fishing pole on his back stumble into the area. His name was Big and was currently searching for his companion. a frog with an unusually long tail, who had swallowed his "lucky charm" and was soon taken by a robot.

~Deep in the heart of the jungle~

Marlene was running fast and furiously, soon coming up to a clearing and some ruins. She stopped in her tracks and scanned her surroundings. "Hey, Marlene!" a voice came from behind her. Marlene instantly turned back to human form and turned to see that Sonic and the others were catching up to her. "Man! You run almost as fast as me! And that's impressive for a human." the blue wonder panted out. After catching their breath, they all looked at the ruins that lay before them.

"Tails, what is this place?" Amy asked as they all walked towards the scattered and destroyed city. Tails digged deep into his mind, but no suitable answer came to mind. "Its one of the Echinda civilizations." a voice called from above. They all looked to their right and slightly upward, and were surprised to see that sitting on top of a ruined edge was Knuckles. He still sported red handprint marks on his face, but he seemed to be in better condition then before.

"Hey, how did you get here?" Chris asked. Knuckles jumped down and landed in front of Marlene and Sonic. "I followed all of you after you left me. For some reason, this place called to me. That's why I'm here." he answered. Marlene asked on why an echidna civilization was here, and why no other echidnas were around. Knuckles answered that even he didn't know, but all he knew was that the markings and formation of the buildings indicated that echidnas like him once lived here.

"Hey, look up there!" Tails exclaimed. He pointed in front of the group towards a large monument that seemed to rise above the others. All looked up and found another echidna at the top! From what they saw, it was a girl echidna that was light orange, having blue eyes, about 14 years of age, 3"1 tall, and about 52.8 lbs. She was dressed in ceremonial clothes, and floating near her was a creature they have never seen before.

"What the-?! Another echidna?" Sonic exclaimed. As far as he knew, Knuckleswas the only remaining echidna of his kind. To see another one was amazing. "Look, I think she wants us to come up there with here." Chris stated. Knowing they had little choice in the matter, everyone went up the steps and towards the teenage echidna. When they reached the top, Knuckles noticed something. "This place. this looks like a place for the Master Emerald." he muttered to himself.

"Welcome everyone. I see you all have received my call." the female echidna said softly. She introduced herself as Tikal, a daughter of a prominent chief from the Echidna civilization. "But, how is it you're here? And why did you say we got your call?" Knuckles inquired. Tikal simply smiled sadly and started to glow white. "You shall see now why I have called you all here. For now, the world is in grave danger." she said. Before anyone could protest, a flash of white light illuiminated the area! It lasted for only a second, and there was no one left in the entire surrounding area.

~Above the jungle~

Eggman was hovering over the jungle area, trying to find his wayward bot. He was looking for E-102 Gamma, part of a series of E-series robots constructed for battle and various other purposes. The robot had reported of finding a Chaos Emerald was trying to find his way to the good doctor, but was having trouble due to malfunctions. "Argh! Blasted robot. The humidity from this blasted jungle may have dampened his circiruts." Eggman grumbled.

Bocoe and his partner stated that it was a possibility and continued to search for the advanced piece of technology. They had detected a massive surge of energy somewhere nearby, but it was brief and Eggman concluded that it was probably a malfunction on the computer's part. The trio searched for Gamma, unknowing of the unusual cargo it was carrying.

~Back in the Egg Carrier~

Chibi Hiei was sleeping soundly on the floor in his cell, until an unusual sound woke him up. He yawned cutely and rubbed the sleep dust out of his eyes. "Uh? W-Where am I?" he asked to no one in particular. Once he regained his sight, the kawaii chibified demon gazed around the room and saw something weird outside near the door. It was a large blue being, seemingly made entirely out of water. It had golden eyes, around 7" feet taller or more, and looking like a bad cross between a shark and a humanoid frog.

Chibi Hiei went towards the being, but was separated by a thin but strong pane of glass. "Hello there, what's your name?" the boy asked. The creature just stared at the small demon, almost as if it were perplexed by him. "Hello, can you hear me?" Chibi Hiei called out again. The same result, only this time the creature cocked its head to the side slightly. "Listen, can you get me out of here? I want to play!" The creature seemed to understand him and used its razor sharp claws to cut the glass.

A large hole was now present in the glass pane, and the chibified demon laughed in delight on being free. "Come on, let's play!" he exclaimed loudly. The kid took Chaos everywhere, running around and playing with the machinery. He used the inside of the engine room as a jungle gym, pressed all the buttons on the control deck that triggered alarms, weapons, and even a self-destruct warning! Luckily, Chibi Hiei unknowingly pressed the right buttons to turn it off. He was having a great time, provided that Chaos merely followed him where ever he went.

Now, they were in the docking bay. Chaos was just following the kid around like a lost child, and the chibified demon was just hyper right now to notice. They came upon four robots, each one in a variety of color. Each one had a letter and number on its side; E-101 Beta, E-103 Delta, E-104 Epsilon, and E-105 Zeta. "Hey, more toys for me to play with!" Chibi Hiei cried out in delight. He zipped along the robots like an ant would to a cube of sugar. Unfortunatly, depending on person's point-of-view, Chibi Hiei touched a switch that brought the black robot (Beta) to life.

Chibi Hiei saw the red eyes come on and stated "Cool!" Beta walked out from its storage and declared in a robotic voice "Must locate Chaos Emeralds." It then took off, blasting a hole in the Egg Carrier and going off on its own. Chibi Hiei was excited, saying on how cool it was to see it blast through the wall. Chaos was still looking on in a puzzling state. The little demon looked at the other robots and smiled widely and mischeviously. "More toys come to life!" he exclaimed before pushing a switch that was behind each of their backs.

The E-series robots came to life and declared the same statement as the black one. They all took off, on the same trail as the black one made. Chibi Hiei and Chaos looked out of the new hole that was created, seeing the walking metal bots go off. "Hey, let's go after them! Follow the leader!" Chibi Hiei exclaimed before running off after the mechanical powerhouses. Chaos just gurgled something and followed the little demon. Least to say, things were now getting interesting.

~Back in another time and place~

Marlene and the gang were covering their eyes from the sheer whiteness all around them. Tikal's voice came through though, "Please, open your eyes." They all did slowly at first, then they found out that the whiteness was gone and they were back at the place they started in when they found the ruins. "Hey, what gives?" Sonic inquired.

"My friends, we are in my memories. This is where it all started thousands of years ago, when the Echidna civilization. my people, were at its peak." Tikal's voice came from above. Marlene saw it was true. They were no longer at the edge of a ruined city, but rather in a bustling one with plenty of echidnas of all shapes and sizes walking about. Knuckles was amazed, seeing more of his kind rather a shock for him. 'So, this was what we were like before. very nice.' he thought.

"Wait, can't they see or hear us?" Chris asked. Tails said that it was unlikely, as they were all in a memory of Tikal's. "My friends, what you are about to see will explain all you need to know about the Chaos Emeralds, the Master Emerald, and the being called Chaos." the female echidna's voice rang out. The scenery suddenly fast-forwarded until day became night and the echidnas were no more. A few remained but they looked to be more like guards rather then civilians.

"Where are we now?" Amy asked, a bit shaken from this ordeal. Just then, a strong male voice boomed out loud "My people, it is time!" Everyone looked to their right to see a mob of echidnas situated near the steps of a small shrine. It was the same one that they were once on before Tikal used her powers on them. Sonic made his way to the crowd, the rest following suit. Knuckles was a little hesitant, not used to being so close yet so far from his own kind. They made their way to the front and saw what was happening. An old echidna, possibly the elder of the village, was giving off a speech of some kind.

"My people. Centuries ago, the gods themselves created the Chaos Emeralds for us to use. Sadly, other nations have been clamoring and making war over them. It was later on that these divine beings created the Master Emerald, an immense gem of power that neutrailizes the chaotic energies of the Chaos Emeralds." The elder was on a role now. "But now, fate is on our side! We have finally obtained all of the emeralds, including the Master one. With their powers, we shall be able to conquer all and put an end to these ridiculous wars!" This got a lot of cheers from the crowd.

"Crazy old fool." Marlene muttered. She was smarter then one gave her credit for. She had seen beings like these, be they human or no, with delusions of grandeur and thought by conquering all, they would bring 'peace' and 'rightousness' to all. Sonic was about to comment on something when someone appeared at the steps of the shrine. It was Tikal! And looking at the top of the shrine was the Master Emerald!

"Stop father! You cannot do this!" Tikal exclaimed while allowing herself to become a single human shield to the entrance of the Master Emerald shrine. "Please, you must stop! All of this fighting, killing, and stealing to obtain the Chaos Emeralds. its not right!" Knuckles and the others, minus Marlene, were shocked by this revelation. The only reason that Marlene didn't react was that she had a hunch on how the echidnas obtained all the emeralds, and her assumption proved to be true.

"How dare you, daughter of mine! This is for our people, a chance to become more powerful and ensure a lasting peace! Isn't that what you want?" the elder inquired. All of the rest of the echidna mob was ready to storm the shrine and make use of the emeralds, regardless if the chief's daughter was in the way.

"No father, not like this! The emeralds are too powerful for anyone to control, and their power would destroy us all!" Tikal was pleading for her father to turn away, to not take this path of destruction. "Bah! Enough of your nonsense! My soldiers, go forth and get the emeralds!" the old leader commanded. Six echidnas ran through the young girl, knocking her unconscious in the process. The whole world was going dark, but before it did. the gang got a good last look at the top of the shrine, and saw the soldiers getting knocked off by a large blue beast that appeared out of nowhere.

"Hey, what happened?! Chris called out. Tails answered that since Tikal was unconscious during that time, her memories on what happened next were blank. "That elder, what an arrogant fool. Power that comes to people like that is not true power at all." Marlene stated firmly. Sonic agreed with her, as did Knuckles. He was trained to be a Guardian, not a soldier and he was embaressed to see his people acting like crazed idiots. Slowly, the blackness was fading away but letting the group return to a scene that was quite horrible.

The city was on fire, stone buildings in rubble, and many echidnas lying in the streets. Some were dead, others dying, and many others injured. "What in the heck happened here?!" Amy exclaimed in horror. She went to check on some nearby civilians, but her hand just went through them like a ghost. However, upon inspection, the pink hedgehog saw that their time was nearly up.

"Look, over there!" Sonic called out. They rushed towards the shrine and saw Tikal looking up towards it. Atop the monument was Chaos, but a much different version. Its hands were covered in blood and its eyes were glowing with eerie radience. "What in the heck is that thing?!" Marlene exclaimed. Sonic and Knuckles answered that it was Chaos, a being that could absorb the Chaos Emeralds. They had tangled with it before and with each emerald it ate, it mutated and became more powerful.

Tikal was in a praying position and was whispering "Please gods, grant my request. I pray for peace in this world for all, and I wish to do so by sealing the guardian known as Chaos inside the Master Emerald. Even if my life is forfeited, I still wish for this. Please, grant me my request!" Suddenly, the Master Emerald started to glow a bright green! Chaos turned to look at it, and was slowly starting to get sucked into the giant gem! Sadly, Tikal was also being sucked into emerald as well.

"Tikal!!" Knuckles called out as he reached for her. His spiked hand grabbed Tikal by the collar, but it just went through. As they all saw the brave teenage girl sacrifice her life to seal Chaos away, Marlene and the others had some respect towards her. 'You were more brave and stronger then any of your father's soldiers, Tikal.' all thought. The world was once again consumed in brillant white light, and they were all back in the present.

Knuckles was on his knees facing the ruins, looking up at the now empty shrine. "So, this is why I have been guarding the Master Emerald for all these years. It was keep a monster locked in, to make sure a little girl's sacrifice was not in vain." he muttered to himself. He was ashamed that his people acted like they did, and it took the sacrifice of an innocent girl to make them open their eyes. Sonic went to him and put a hand on his shoulder, a silent gesture that he was not alone. The others looked at Knuckles in the same manner, as if saying that they understood what was going on within him.

"Thanks everyone." the red guardian said. He got up and went towards them, but something else got their attention. The jungle, which was teeming with activity, suddenly went quiet. Marlene and Sonic got their guards up, as did Knuckles. "Everyone, be careful. I feel something bad is going to happen." the neko demon stated. In a few minutes, something emerged from the foliage. It was. Dr. Eggman and his lackeys!

"Sonic! Long time no see." the fat scientist said with a smug grin. Sonic was going for a witty reply when Marlene just shoved him out of the way. "Where is Hiei, you bloated blimp?! Give him back!" she demanded. Let it be known that the old saying "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" is very much true.

"Hmph! Such a rude girl. And if you're referring to that brat of a kid I got from Knuckles, then its sad for me to say that I fed him to the sharks! Hahahaha!" Eggman responded. It was supposed to be a bit of a joke, a sick one at that. However, the answer he received was one he wished he never got at all. Marlene was now covered in an angry red aura, and he was growling like a cat. Sonic and the others backed off considerably to give her enough room.

A ways from the ruins, Chibi Hiei and Chaos were following the robots in the jungle when they heard and saw a large explosion! "Wow! Look at that! Come on, lets go see!" the kawaii demon squealed in delight as he rushed towards the mayhem. Chaos followed, not knowing that it was going to be in a battle of a lifetime!

(Author's Notes: Well, here is another chapter for everyone here. We hope you like it.

Saiyan Moon Goddess: DJ is using a mix of Sonic Adventure from his Dreamcast game with the cartoon show series Sonic X, so we apologize in advance if this seems a bit weird for any and all readers who are familiar with the cartoon show.

DJ: Next time, Marlene shows off her demon skills to a very scared Dr. Eggman. Chibi Hiei shows up with Chaos, and another epic battle takes place! Lots of action, thrills, and chills!
