Niice, 6 star segment Frost. I graetly enjoyed reading that~
Also, sonic has a lot of good songs no?
----------------------------------------
"Incoming"! The room spun around 360 degrees as Latios performed a spinning maneuver though a group of storm troopers. Sonic spin dashed at the Trooper nearest him before he could make a move for his gun. His lightning reflexes kicked in and he snatched away his weapon as he fell "I don't think he has any use for this any more" Sonic yawned, tosssing the weapon to Mari.
"Thanks Teach" Mari Grinned, then imbued the weapon with magical properties and used it as a makeshift club to bash some poor troopers head in.
"Thats uhh... that's an effective way to use the weapon". Sonic coughed.
"Isn't it?" Mari said, it was impossible to tell if she was joking or not, "What are you looking at"? Mari suddenly demanded to a trooper next to her who'd been trying desperately to be invisible.
"I...I...ahh"...
The walls echoed with a solid smack as the Trooper went flying 50 some feet, only to vanish a ways down the hall.
"Harsh Much"? Xiroey mused, suddenly back in the fray after having transformed.
"What are you on about Xiro"? Mari inquired.
"it's just that you didn't let him... Ahh"- he ducked sharply as Mari's Gun-club went whizzing over his head. A faint scream was heard as another of the Master's minions collapsed. "Do you
mind?"?
"He was about to shoot you" Mari said without emotion.
"Oh"... Xiroey began, "T-thanks then. I guess".
"We're all going to be toast if we don't move it out of here pronto". Charizard growled, whilist chucking a trooper against the wall.
"Not our fault" Xiroey grunted.
"Isn't there supposed to be a switch or something that opens the way into the next sector. We're all sitting ducks as long as we're stuck here". Sonic bounced against a wall, narrowly evading several rounds of enemy fire. He hit the ground rolling, then delivered a rising kick to the backs of some troopers. "Too slow" Sonic taunted.
Xiroey whistled as yet another trooper went flying over his head. "These guys are awfully aerodynamic aren't they"? he noted drily.
"You'll be awfully aerodynamic if you don't quit standing around". Charizard threatened.
"I love you too buddy" Xiroey said, then summoned his guns. "Okay, who wants some"?

"I won't let you come near him" Del said resolutely, he ducked a claw swipe from Mephiles, then delivered a sweping kick at his legs. Mephiles reacted quickly however, and managed to sidestep the attack. "Tick Tock" Mephiles taunted, laughing at Del's frantic attempts. He raies his palm toward him and shot several dark spheres towards the pair of brothers.
Del merely glanced at the attack, and it rebounded off a solid barrier. "My turn" He pointed his hand at the ground and it the moisture instantly cooled and turned to ice. Mephiles leaped back as a circle of icy stagmites shot out of the floor.
"Nope nope, times wasting" Mephiles said, taking sadistic pleasure in Del's anguish.
Just need a few seconds and I can...
Del had to think fast. How could he distract Mephiles long enough to tend to Luco's wounds? He spun a quarter circle and launched an icy spear at Mephiles before the hedgehog could flank him.
"Oh too bad" Mephiles said with fake syphathy as he evaded the attacks, he curled into a ball mid-dash and spindashed at Del's legs. Del seeminly had no time to react to the attack, and was unable to prepare a counter-attack before Mephiles reached him.
But Del was feinting. Mephiles leaped out of his dash and tried to dispatch Del with an acrobatic kick to the face, but his attack ended up meeting another one of Del's barriers. Grunting in frustration, Mephiles bounced off of it and briefly took to the air.
Fool.
Del made. A sweeping guesture with his arm toward the ground. A circle of stalagtites fell from the ceiling, directly above the spot Mephiles was flying towards.
"Not bad". Mephiles complimented him. He managed to summon an energy shield around himself just in time to vaporize the ice before it did any real damage.
"Thank you" A voice said from behind Mephiles. The hedgehog started. he looked toward the ground and realized that the previous Del had vaporized into mist.
Mephiles grunted as he was sent flying across the room. Del recovered from the recoil of his water blast and teleported behind Mephiles again, only to deliver a vertical roundhouse kick to the Hedgehog's face.
"Good Bye" Del said emotionlessly, He clinched his fist and a magical symbol appeard on the floor, at the exact spot Mephiles was headed. The hedgehog looked down just in time to see his doom before the Symbol was ripped apart with water, with the hedgehog in it.
"And good riddance" Del finished. Wasting no time, he teleported back to Luco and began working on a heal spell.
"Come on..." He chanted in his head. Why wasn't Luco waking up?
"Awww... Looks like your wittle friend has already died... I'm sorry". Mephiles said mournfully.
Del didn't even waste time turning around, He pointed his free hand at Mephiles and lauched a water orb at him.
"Sorry Kiddo, but that's life. Your brother's gone, his soul belongs to the master now".
As much as he didn't want to let the Hedgehog's words get to him, since that's obviously what he wanted, Del couldn't help clenching his fists in rage".
"He's not... dead..."
Mephiles tilted his head. "Okay? He's not then, go on believing that if you wan"-
Del spun around without warning and lauched a pair of water orbs at the hedgehog. "You're anoying"! Mephiles easily dodged the attack, but Del was already counting on that. He raised his hand and a thin hollow circle of water appeared in front of him. Just as Mephles landed, he launched the projectile, which spun at Mephiles like a Buzz Saw. Mephiles raised an eyebrow at the attack, already preparing to toss up an energy field in defense.
"Outa my way fuzzy" Shouted a familiar Blue Hedhog as he rammed Mephiles in the back.
Mephiles grunted audibly as he went flying yet again, but managed to halt his flight mid-way and levitated in mid-air.
"I see your friends are back" Mephiles said with a hint of bitterness
"You bet your foot we're back"! Mari shouted, then tossed a glowing assault rifle at the hedgehog's face.
"You shouldn't play with guns like they're toys" Mephiles bantered, easily destroying the weapon before it drew clsoe.
"You should lighten up and have fun more" Said another voice from Mephiles side. The hair on the hedgehog's neck stood up as he turned around, suddenly coming face to face with Xiroey, who was grinning form ear to ear.
"Hi" He said cheerily, then gave Mephiles a hearty Luster Purge to the face.
Meanwhile on the ground, Mari was swiftly rushing to Del and Luco's aid.
"He's hurt" Mari observed.
"Don't come near him". Del said instictively. He was reluctant to let anyone come near his brother in his weakened state.
"Relax" Mari said softly "I'm a friend" She knelt down next to Luco and began administering an advanced heal spell to treat his wounds. Del watched a little dubiously, but made no move to stop her.
"It's all right now Luco. Come back to us"...

The Battlefield outside of Impact
----------------------------------------------------
"Rediculous! I saw we blast these fools out of here
now, it's obviously a trap"! Typhlosion howled, why couldn't any of these idiots see reason?
"I'm with General Badger-bear" Bowser growled, the only other person around with any bit of reason.
"Because it wouldn't be in the spirit of what this city stands for if we confronted them on such shady terms" Latias countered, "We wont' let them anywhere near the City. Let them send a runner over to deliver their message, if it's a retreat, then we can get out of this battle without losing any more lives."
"Latias speaks reasonably" Cheif Braviary added, "Let them send a runner".
"Aaaagh"! Typhlosion roared, the blaze on his neck shot of another few notches. "Fine! Let them send a runner. I'll tear his stinkin limbs from his body if they try anything sneaky"!
Latias nodded, it was obviously as good an agreement as they were going to get.
"We should send the message over then, I'll communicate it to them telepathically.".
----
The runner was surprisingly unimposing. For such a ruthless and diabolical group as the dark one's, one would expect the runner to be more... Intimidating...
"Message from our head commander" Disclosed a small scrawny man with a rat-like face. He opened a formal pachment and held it in front of his face, somewhat helping block out the hostile stares the members of Impact were giving him. "Ahem..." he began awkwardly "Surrender your city to the master now, and we will promise to spare everyone in"-
The man got no further before he was cleaved in half by a blade of light, launched directly from Latias' scythe.
The other generals looked upon her with disbelieve written all over their faces.
"It was a clear declaration that they had every intention of taking our city. No use in letting him live in that case". Latias said simply.
"Rodent deserved what he got" Typhlosions spat. Then tilted his head up and roared loudly for all to hear. A general sturring went up amongst the Dark One's ranks as the cry carried all the way across the field.
That was the signal to advance they'd all been waiting for. The members of Impact charged forward again, eager to drive this sinister force far
far away form their city once and for all.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"That should do it" Mari sighed. The light from her hands steadily began to fade. Not a visible scratch was left on Luco's body, and he appeared to be sleeping peacefully.
"So fast"? Del said with disbelief "You couldn't have finished treating him so quickly! Look he still hasn't"-
"Your bother will be fine" Charizard said with such an air of finality that Del had no choice bu tot believe it.
Mari nodded her head toward the dragon in thanks, "Charizard's right, he's just sleeping now. Each of his vitals are fine, there's no more threat to his life now than there was when he brought you here".
"Speaking of which" Charizard butted-in, "how did you manage two manage to teleport all the way over to the core anyway"?
Del sighed, the toll of what had just happened was still weighing heavily on him "It was no real feat once my brother and I conjoined powers. We should be able to repeat it once he wakes up".
Charizard looked at Mari, to del, then back to Mari again. Mari saw the message and already know what Charizard was getting at. "Perhaps I could perform the other half of the spell in Luco's place"... Mari began.
-------------------------------------------------------
"Great, Now I have to fight
you do I"? Mephiles said with clear annoyance.
"Preeeety much" Xiroey said without sympathy, he tossed his gun up in the air, then caught in in his other hand. He then pointed it at Mephiles and fired. The bolt bounced awkwardlya cross the ground, splitting into two identical bolts with each bounce it made.
"That's the best you can come up with"? Mephiles scoughed. He simply levitated, and the attack pased beneath him harmlessly.
"Yeah" Xiroey agreed sadly, from inside Mephile's ear "but then again, I reeeally suck at fighting." He blasted a shockwave at the side of Mephile's head. The hedgehog just barely had enough time to toss up a barrier before the attack rammed itself against it.
"Haaiii-Yah"! Xiroey grunted as he teleproted forward and chopped the barrier with his fist, the energy field shattered instantly, admitedly stunning Xiroey a bit as the energies dispersed.
"Idiot". Mephiles shook his head, He raised his palm and shot a greed beam at Xiroey's chest while he was stunned.
The beam traveled swiftly. Xiroey watched it come helplessly, very nearly about to be dealt with the very same way Sonic was, and the same way Charizard almost was.
"Ow". Xiroey said blandly. Mephiles eyes widened and he half-turned to see Xiroey standing there looking comically hurt.
"Why are you looking like that"? Mephiles said in his best unamused tone.
"Your attack" Xiroey complained "I tried looking into it because it kind-of looked like a colidascope if you stared at it in just the right way, but then I realized that staring at bright things can give you retna damage, so now my head is kind of hurting, which is wierd considering that one of my attacks is actually a giant blast of li"-
Xiroey was cut off mid-ramble as one of Mephile's claws came scant millimeters away from his nose. "Hey, cut me off why don't ya"? Xiroey said, leaning back from the attack. He teleported a safe distance away, and re-summoned his guns.
"You go explode now. Okay". He began shooting the weapons rapid-fire. The bolts traveled in a wide variety of different ways. Some flying straight, some curving in and out, some bouncing across the ground, some flying in a high virtical arc. They each had one thing in common though, and that's that they were all traveled almost too quickly to be seen... and that they were all homed in on Mephiles.
"TakeThisAndThisAndThisAndThisAndTHISAnd"~ Xiroey chanted cheerfily as he fired his weapons with glee.
Mephiles managed to evade most of the shots, but many either traveled in too awkward a way to predict , or otherwise flew at him at just the wrong moment, so he ended up getting hit more times than he'd liked.
"This wiiiillll end it"! Xiroey said from behind Mephiles as his clone was still firing his weapon. He pointed hsi hand at Mephiles, completely oblivious to the electric bolts that bounced off of him, and lauched a shockwave at the back of Mephile's head.
Unfortunately, he was greeted with rather painful explosion as the clone of Mephiles exploded on him. His clone instantly phased out as his concentration was broken, and he was stunned breifly.
"Got you with your own coward tactic" Mephiles teased. Xiroey looked up and saw a rapidly growing Hedgehog foot quickly drawing closer to his face.
Xiroey cursed, then wend down under the attack. Mephiles pounced on him as his back hit the ground, and began clawing mercilessly at Xiroey's eyes.
"Aaaah, get
off"! Xiroey grunted, he'd just barely managed to throw his arm over his face in time to prevent being blinded, but then his arm ended up getting cut up badly. In a last ditch move, Xiroey's body began to glow. Mephiles recognized the attack and backed off.
Not quite.
Xiroey's feint had worked. He focused on the floor in the spot Mephiles was standing in and spikes hot upwards at the hedgehog's feet.
That'll take care of him...
Or so he thought, the spikes manged to connect, but they did no damage. The ones dirctly beneath Mephiles broke off at the base, falling over as if his feet were made of lead.
"What in kant"- Xiroey began, then was hit with Mephiles foot way too quickly for him to have just been standing across the room.
"Your attacks are Pathetic" Mephiles scolded.
"Really? How about mine" A feminine voice said, rushing at the hedgehog as Xiroey flew away from the attack.
"Mari, my sweet. If only you weren't so stubborn, you could've lived like a queen at my side. The dark queen you were meant to be". Mephiles shook his head sadly. "But alas, you choose to align yourself with these..."
"These people are my friends" Mari said, as she delivered a speedy kick to Mephiles face, surprising even him!
Mephiles grunted as he flew back, but he managed to halt his momentum before he crashed up against the wall.
"Fine, you've made your decision, you can rot with the rest of these swine"! Mephiles retaliated with a series of dark attacks. Each of which were countered by Mari's light spells.
"Is that the best you can do"? Mari yawned.
Mephiles face grew a tenge redder as his anger grew, His attacks grew more frantic, and he teleprted near Mari in the middle of one of his attacks and tried to land with a whirling kick.
Mari easily ducked the attack, a light barrier dealing with the dark bolts at her side. She focused on Mephiles as he flew overhead and aimed a powerful, but unfocused burst of psychic energy straight up. Mephiles was caught in the attack and began to ascend rapidly. The energies binded his limbs, surprisingly preventing him from moving as easily as he could.
"Sorry Mephiles, but I don't plan on comeing with you ever. So you can just kiss that dream good bye". She raised her arm upward and began chanting in a stange language.
Mephiles could do nothing to avoid the attack since the energies still pushed him upward, and some sort of hex prevented him from teleporting away.
"Already knew you'd try something like that". Mari said, finishing up the first of her spells. She began chanting again, this time powering up a particualarly powerful light spell.
Xiroey, now recovered, saw what Mari was doing and added to her efforts. He telported up to Mephiles and held him in an upside down Choak Hold.
"You're not going anywhere" Xiroey hissed into Mephile's ear.
Mari's spell was complete. A circle of light glowed above her, and a massive beam of pure light energy shot up at the pair flying upward in the air.
Xiroey watched the attack coming, and timed the moment perfectly when he needed to telport away to safety. The attack hit Mephiles square on, and he swiftly dissapeared from sight.
"That get him"? Xiroey asked as he teleported back to Mari's side.
"I think so. But then again, Mephiles is slippery, he could very easily have survived that... somehow".
"I don't doubht it" Xiroey sighed sadly".
Mari began to walk wearily toward where Luco was laying. Charizard, Sonic, and Blaze, Magolor and Marx were there. Guarding Luco as he slept.
"Thanks guys. Did it really take all of you to look over one person though"? Mari said as she walked near.
"Mari!" Nice job, you blasted that creep all the way to dreamland and back!" Marx cheered.
Mari blushed at the compliment despite herself, "It was nothing, really".
"My foot it was nothing, That was pretty d*mn sweet Mar~"! Xiroey said cheerily, coming up behind Mari and slapping her a bit too hard on the shoulder.
"Xiroooo..." Mari said darkly.
Red alarms went off, Xiroey instantly began to regret his decision. Mari turned on him.
"Ahh"! Xiroey cried, as Mari glomped him. "Nice job, holding that creep down. I swear if he had escaped again.. I woulda..."
"...agh... no... problem"... Xiroey forced out, still a bit confused.
"So, you were going to join up with Del to teleport us to the next Generator"? Charizard said, bringing the two back to the present.
"Right"! Mari said, suddenly releasing Xiroey so he could breathe.
Del looked up at Mari. "You ready"? he said.
"You kidding? The sooner we get out of here the better, lets do this already".
