Paladins

Fire. As far as the eye could see, that's all there was. It roared throughout the city, Mobotropolis was burning. Within all the flames, the citizens of the city suffered, their screams echoed throughout the many streets. The moonless night sky painted the landscape a pitch black, leaving the destructive flames as the only source of light. Amongst it all, two figures hurriedly sprinted down the street. One of the figures was an arctic fox, his name was Gold. His fur was a light blue color, same as his eyes. The tips of his tails ended in a simple white, his tails were actually quite a peculiar sight. He had, not one, but three tails. The second figure was a hedgehog. His fur was a dark brown and his skin was a common peach color. He went by the name, Sora the Ultrahog. He had ocean blue eyes and three small, slightly curved hairs on his forehead. Sora had made the choice to wear clothing, even though it wasn't considered a necessity for the Mobian race. He wore a black short sleeve shirt, a long sleeve hoodie; a pair of pants with a pouch on either leg, a pair of high top sneakers; some fingerless gloves and a crown necklace around his neck. On his back he carried a single shoulder strapped backpack of a midnight blue color.

Sprinting onwards, they came to a stop at an intersection. Four hostile beings stood before them.

"These guys don't let up," Sora puffed.

"No kidding," Gold replied.

The four enemies were humanoid looking creatures. There were no actual defining marks about them, their entire body was a pitch black. Only the claws sprouting out of the top of their fingers stood out. They had no face, not even a nose, just two red intimidating eyes staring straight at their targets. If it weren't for the fires lighting up everything around them, Gold and Sora would not have been able to see the four creatures ahead of them.

The four creatures ran forwards, Gold and Sora quickly doing the same. One of the monsters took a swing at Sora, the hedgehog ducked under the attack and dug his shoulder into its belly; knocking the two of them to the ground. Sora raised his body up and slammed an open hand onto the creatures face. Electricity arched out from his arm and hand as it flowed into the creatures head. It's entires body convulsed as it reacted to the electrifying onslaught. One of its allies ran over and kicked Sora off top of it, ending the attack. Sora rolled himself along the ground on his side a couple of times, putting some distance between him and his enemies. The two creatures went to run at Sora, only for a large piece of debris to come flying out of nowhere off from the right before they had a chance to. The debris sent the creatures flying away a couple of meters, one of them crashed through the window of nearby storefront. Something important must have been knocked out of place, as the building quickly crumbled in on itself; burying the creature beneath the rubble. Sora looked to the right, finding gold had been the one who sent the debris their way. His hands were still glowing with the energy that made up his powers.

"Gold! Duck!" Sora suddenly shouted, noticing imminent danger closing in on the fox.

Gold did as Sora had warned him. The claws of one of the creatures swiped straight over the top of him, slicing a few strands of fur off the top of his head. Gold spun around, slamming his fist across its face. He followed it up with a quick boot to the chest, knocking it back a few paces. Finally, Gold reared his fist back again. His energy swirled around it for but a moment, before he threw his fist forwards. His energy shot forward from his hand and connected with the creature, throwing it off of its feet and straight into the fire inside a burning building. Gold saw it slowly get back onto its feet, taking a few slow steps forwards. It succumbed to harsh flames around it, falling down to its knees and then onto its front.

He turned around to find Sora in the middle of a fight between the two remaining creatures. He was holding his own for the time being, but it didn't look like he could hold out for much longer. The creatures attacked at a frightening speed, their claws determined to cut the hedgehogs flesh and taste his blood. Sora finally made a move to slow them down and give himself some relief. He ducked down and swept his leg out, knocking one of the two off of their feet. The second was pushed back when he stood back up and raised his hands forwards, firing electricity out of his hands into the creature. With it stunned for the moment, Sora brought his arms behind himself. He flung them forwards again and an orb of electricity was sent shooting forwards, connecting it with the creature again. It convulsed and jerked around for a moment before coming to a standstill, it slowly fell back and hit the the ground with a heavy thud. Smoke flowed off of its now lifeless body.

Sora turned his attention back to the first again, only to find it now gone from its place on the ground. He turned around just to late to stop its attack. It shot its hand forward, sinking its claws into the left side of Sora's belly. Sora let out a scream of pain, blood slowly leaked out past the claws. With Sora immobilized in shock, he didn't have chance to react as the creature raised its free hand up; readying its claws to tear at his face. The sound of footsteps put a stop to it as Gold leapt into action. He jumped straight at the creature, taking the two of them down to the ground. Now that he was on top of it, Gold raised his fist up above himself. His energy flowed around the entirety of his arm this time. He brought his fist straight down on its head, crushing it in and creating a crater in the asphalt underneath it. Panting now, Gold got back up onto his feet. He quickly ran over to check on Sora.

"How bad?" Gold asked.

"It's deep," Sora replied with a pained groan.

He had his hand over the wound, but a steady stream of blood was still flowing past his hand and down his leg.

"Alright, hold still," Gold said to him as he prepared himself.

Gold placed one hand on Sora's should, holding his other open as his energy flowed around it. He moved Sora's hand out of the way and placed his own over the wound. His energy quickly got to work, knitting the flesh back together and repairing any minor internal injuries. Gold brought his hand away and took a step back as he assessed the injury, it could be seen that the wound was now completely healed.

"I hate those things!" Sora growled. "They give me creeps," he added.

"I know," Gold agreed. "They don't scream, they don't growl; not even when they're in pain. With how quiet they are, I know why we call them Hunters."

Off from behind them, they heard a deep throaty growl. It slowly deepened and grew louder. Gold and Sora froze in place upon hearing it.

"Oh no," Sora said with a gulp.

"I-Is that a... a Hellhound?" Gold nervously asked.

There was a reason the two Mobians were so worried about it being what was called a Hellhound. Hellhounds were vicious, fast and one of deadliest creatures they'd encountered so far. Gold and Sora slowly turned around, finding it was indeed a Hellhound behind them. It looked a bit like a Doberman. Instead of fur however, it appeared to have pitch black skin like the other creatures. It had two fiery orange eyes, a mouth of teeth as sharp as razors. It looked unhealthily skinny with the way its ribs could be seen under its skin. However sick it looked, it was by no means weak.

The hound raced forwards at frightening speed, leaping straight towards the two Mobians. Both of them immediately dived out of the way, the hound sailing straight past them. It hit the ground and its paws scraped across the asphalt as it turned itself around, immediately running for its prey once again. Sora sent some electricity flying towards it, unfortunately missing as it dodged out of the way. Gold tried his luck, sending a volley of his energy rapidly shooting towards it. Again, the Hellhound dodged everything sent its way. Having closed enough ground, the hound once again jumped towards one of its target. Unfortunately for Sora, he was the one it had chosen. As it soared through the air, Sora saw his chance. Raising his hands, he sent a current of electricity straight at the hound. It connected and the hound howled in pain, it didn't do anything to stop its approach however.

It landed straight on top of Sora and knocked him down to the ground underneath it. Sora raised his hands up and managed to catch it around the top of its neck, raising his knees at the same time and holding them against its chest. The Hellhound snarled and snapped at Sora, viscously trying claw at him at the same time. Gold ran up behind and grabbed its head with both his hands. The combined strength of both Sora and Gold was only just enough as they to sharply twisted its head, its neck let out a sickening snap as it broke from the sudden motion. Sora angrily shoved its body off of himself before getting to his feet.

"I take back what I said earlier," Sora said once he was he upright. "I hate THOSE things."

"No arguments here," Gold replied.

They both turned back to intersection, each letting out a tired groan with what they saw. Three more Hunters were now standing in the middle of the intersection, staring silently at the two Mobians.

"Oh, come on!" Gold groaned.

Down the road, off from the right hand side of the intersection, the roar of a car engine could be heard fast approaching. The Hunters turned in the direction the noise was coming from, headlights lighting them up as they did. They were to slow to move out of the way when, what appeared to be, a 1969 style Camaro came crashing straight into them. One of the Hunters was sent flying over the top of the car, the other two found themselves underneath the wheels of the vehicle. The sudden impact caused the car to veer off of its original path slightly, sending it straight into a nearby telephone pole. Gold and Sora watched the entire thing in complete shock. The car had fallen silent after its collision with the pole, but the sound of someone trying to restart the engine quickly followed. After a few squeaks and whines, the car roared back to life. The driver reversed the car back onto the road before slowly rolling it towards the two Mobians. Gold and Sora could hear two people speaking inside the vehicle.

"Dammit! My head!" One voice groaned.

"If you'd put your seatbelt on like I'd suggested, maybe you wouldn't have bashed it into the dashboard," a second voice replied.

"Hey, screw you," the first voice growled.

"You two are crazy, you know that right?" Gold said to them as he and Sora approached the car.

"I'm not crazy, I'm nuts!" The first voice replied. "Now get in the car before more of their friends show up."

Sora and Gold complied. Jumping into the car so they could drive off to their next destination. Now in the back seats, Sora and Gold got a better view of the two figures in the front. In the drivers seat sat a human, his name was Connor Jenkins. Connor wore a white long sleeve shirt, a black leather jack; grey cargo pants and a pair of black boots. He had averagely long blonde hair, a blue left eye and a red right eye. He also had a scar along his left cheek. One thing not all people were aware of is that he wasn't completely flesh and blood. His right leg and left arm were robotic while his right eye was cybernetic.

The one in the passenger seat was a red hedgehog, this ones name was Scott Rider. He had long spiky hair and wore a black leather jacket, blue ripped jeans and a pair of black and white hi top trainers. Scott had a special ability of his own, his body had an accelerated healing factor. His wounds wouldn't heal instantly, but they would still repair themselves much faster than any normal being. His regenerative abilities weren't a natural gift of his, he'd found himself with this power after he had been injected with unknown substance.

They sped down the road in the Camaro. Connor had his foot to the floor and showed no signs of slowing down. He swerved out of the way of upturned cars and debris littered across the road, but swerved into any hostile creatures the headlights lit up.

"Who's car is this anyway," Sora asked from the backseat.

"It's mine," Connor replied, keeping his eyes on the road.

"Seriously?" He heard Gold say.

"Yes, seriously," Connor answered. "Which way to the post?" He asked Scott.

"Take a right up here," Scott directed, pointing at the turn they'd need to take.

Connor turned the steering wheel, making a very sharp right turn. He let the rear of the vehicle slide out a bit, it was so he could slam the rear side of the vehicle into a Hunter before speeding off again.

"Are you going to run down every one of those things you catch sight of?" Scott asked, turning his head to Connor.

"If I can help it," Connor replied. "They deserve no less," he added with a growl.

"You won't get any arguments here," Scott agreed.

Down the road behind the car, the group heard some frighteningly familiar howls. Gold and Sora turned in their seats to look out the rear window, catching sight of two Hellhounds racing up the road towards them.

"Have we got Hellhounds on our ass again?" Scott asked them.

"We do," Sora answered. "But what do you mean again?"

"Let's just say, don't let them get on the roof," Connor explained.

Gold and Sora looked at each other with a confused expression on their faces, that was until they noticed Scott leaning round his seat and pointing a finger upwards. They followed where he pointed to find three gashes sliced through the roof. The way the gashes had been cut, it was clear it had been done by some very sharp claws.

"Oh, that's not good," Gold noted.

"At your feet there Gold, do you want to just pass that to Scott," he heard Connor say.

Gold looked at his feet and found an object wrapped in a small blanket, he picked up and immediately passed it to the red hedgehog. Scott took the object and quickly removed it from the blanket, revealing it to be a sawed off double barrel shotgun. He opened the glove box and pulled a packet of shotgun shells, stuffing them into his jacket before winding down. Once it was down, all he had to do was ease himself out the window and raise his weapon. Scott fired off one of barrels, peppering the shoulder of one of the hounds with lead pellets. The Hellhound stumbled for a moment but quickly found its pace again, it let out an angry snarl and continued onwards. The other barrel was fired, but the Hellhounds dodged to the sides and avoid the blast. Scott broke the shotgun and reloaded, the wind wiping by deafened his ears and muffled the angry barks from the hounds. He closed the gun and took aim once more, but not before one of the beasts managed to jump and latch onto the roof.

"Are you going to kill those things or just keep dicking around?!" He heard Connor shout from the drivers seat.

"I'm working on it!" He shouted.

Scott swung the shotgun out like a bat, smacking the hound across the face. Before it had time to recover, Scott raised the gun and fired off both barrels. The hound had no chance, the pellets ripped into its face and blasted the top half of its head off. Its tongue flopped around in the air, adding to the gory sight before its body fell and rolled off the roof. No sooner was the first gone, the second Hellhound took its place. Scott broke the gun again and hurriedly tried to reload, the hound was unfortunately quicker. It swiped its paw out and sliced three deep cuts into the side of Scotts face. He let out a pained cry and recoiled back, accidentally letting go of his shotgun in the process. The weapon clattered on the road and disappeared from sight as Scott hung out the window. He was in danger off falling out onto the road, even more so when he looked back up onto the roof. The hound was peeking over the side, a viscous snarl on its face as a few drops drool fell from its mouth. He felt someone grab him by the top of his jeans and heave him back inside, it didn't take him long to realize it was Connor who'd saved him. Scott quickly pulled out his pulled out his pistol and began firing through the roof, they could hear the Hellhounds paws thud on the roof as it dodged left and right.

"Oh god! Your face!" Gold exclaimed upon seeing Scott's injuries.

"It's just a minor flesh wound," Scott growled back.

"Are you kidding me?! It sliced through your eye!" Gold shot back.

Scott's injuries were indeed quite gruesome. Like Gold had said, one of his eyes had been cut through. Bone could be seen through some of the injuries on his face, and blood flowed through all of them. It didn't take long for the red liquid to cover the side of his face and flow down onto his clothes.

"He'll be fine, we need to worry about the dog on the roof," Connor spoke up.

The moment the words had left his lips, three claws suddenly dug through the roof. They sliced backwards, creating some more large gashes in the roof.

"Hold on!" Connor shouted.

He began swerving left and right, trying his best to throw the hound off balance and throw it off the vehicle. The Hellhound was a stubborn creature however, it dug its claws in further and held on throughout the whole thing.

"We need to lose this thing!" Scott yelled.

"No shit!" Connor shouted back.

In the back seat, Gold caught sight of something out of the window on his side.

"Is that..?" Gold said, catching Sora's attention.

Sora followed his gaze out the window, quickly catching sight of what Gold had just seen.

"I'll be damned," Sora muttered.

What happened next took Connor and Scott completely by surprise. Out of the blue, a green hedgehog landed on top of the hood of the Camaro. The said hedgehog bore an uncanny resemblance to the ultimate life form, Shadow the Hedgehog. This hedgehog was not him however, this hedgehog was named Glimpse. Glimpse's fur was green, and gold where Shadows was red. His eyes were also green. He wore a pair of shoes like Shadows only without the skates, and a set of silver inhibitor rings.

Glimpse turned his gaze towards the roof, staring directly at the Hellhound. The hound caught his gaze and curled its lips back, baring its teeth as it let out another snarl. It leapt into the air, pouncing straight towards Glimpse. For once, this proved to be a bad move. Glimpse raised his hand into the air and created a chaos spear, throwing it straight at the hound. The spear connected and the dog was thrown back. It landed on the roof and dug its claws in, stopping itself from sliding off. Glimpse walked up the windscreen and onto the roof, raising his hand in front if himself with his palm facing forwards. A short burst of chaos energy shot out of his hand and blasted into the hound, knocking it back a little further still. Glimpse took a few more steps forward, he spun around and raised his hands together. His sword appeared in his hands as he came back around. Completing his spin, Glimpse swung his blade out; slicing cleanly through the neck of the hound. Its head was sent flying off to the side as its body crumpled down on the car. Glimpse walked forward and booted it off of the vehicle, it bounced off of the boot of the car and rolled a few times along the road. Glimpse banished his sword and walked over to one of the back windows, he leant down and gave it a tap which prompted someone to wind the window down. He eased himself in through the window and into the seat, finding himself sitting next to Sora.

"Sup," he casually remarked.

"Your awfully calm after that," Scott said to him.

"Not the first one I had to deal with, and it was on its own too. I did a runner when a pack of them started chasing me," Glimpse replied. "What happened to your face?"

"I don't have super powers like you," Scott answered.

His injuries had already started healing themselves, although they still looked quite painful. His eye was no longer sliced through, and the bleeding had come to a stop. The gashes were still there however.

"We're nearly there guys," Connor said to everyone in his car. "And thanks for getting rid of that bitch, Glimpse," he added.

"No worries," Glimpse replied.

Up ahead of them, they saw they were fast approaching their destination. The building that housed the Star Posts, it looked like a temple of sorts. The plan was to take the teleporter to Moebius. As crazy as it sounded, Scourge had joined forces with the people of Mobius to try and stop the creatures that were bringing the planet to ruin. They may be focusing on Mobius for the time being, but it was clear that they would soon shift their focus to a new world. It was how they had arrived in the world they were currently destroying, they finished off with one world and moved onto another. It was a risky move asking for help from an enemy, but Scourge wasn't entirely stupid. He knew a real threat when he saw one. Thus they had found themselves in their alliance, a rather fragile one at that.

The creatures themselves were a mystery. Nobody knows where they came from, or why they were doing what they were doing. One thing was clear though, what they existed for. They lived to bring death and destruction wherever they walked. They would enter a city one day, and before long it would be nothing but ash and rubble. People were slaughtered by the thousands, no man; woman or child left alive. They never took hostages and they never showed mercy. The shear ferocity and brutality of their attacks was to much for some. Eventually, it was even to much for the heroes of Mobius. One by one they had fallen. Sonic, Tails; even the ultimate life form himself. They were gone. Amongst all the pain and suffering, some rose up. They survived, they pressed on. They refused to go down without taking as many of the invaders with them as they could. This is how the Paladins were born.

Just as there were the freedom fighters during the reign of Doctor Robotnick, the Paladins were formed to take the fight to those who sought their destruction. Their were many of them at first, all fighting together as one. Time had taken its toll on their numbers however, each death brought sadness through their ranks but fueled the fire that made them fight. Now, only six remained. Connor had been the one who coined up the name for the division, he wasn't the one who had brought everyone together however; that had been Sally Acorn. In her last few days, she managed to find some of the best fighters around the globe and create the division known as the Paladins. The heroes of Mobius were all a part of it, at least those who were still alive. At the time the division was put together, only Sonic; Shadow, Tails and Knuckles remained. They were all gone now, but they would never be forgotten. With all the death and all the friends lost during the war, Connor had made a new saying directed towards the creatures; it had become one all Paladins recited. Never Forgive, Never Forget.

As the group of five approached the building, it quickly became noticeable that a battle was currently underway. Hunters, Hellhounds and even a few other creatures could be seen running amok. Some were put down, others continued literally tearing apart their opposition limb from bloody limb. A voice suddenly crackled in over the UHF in Connors car.

"Connor! I can see you approaching. Drive on through and go straight through the front door," it said.

"Are you sure about that?" Connor asked into the radio. "What about all of you?"

"We're dead anyway. Best we can do is buy you some time. We'll hold em back as long as we can. Give you enough time to power up the Star Posts and jump through."

"If that's what you want."

"It's for the best. Little detail however, the whole place is rigged to blow in ten minutes. We know they can jump dimensions without the Star Posts, but we don't want to make it to easy on them."

"Copy that. See you on the other side," Connor said sadly.

"Hopefully not too soon," the voice on the other end finished.

Connor put his foot to the floor and sped up their advance, the building was now rapidly getting closer.

"Alright boys, hang on back there," Connor said to the others.

The clicking of seat belts quickly sounded as everyone did what they could to ensure their own safety. The passengers in the backseat took a hold of the seats in front of them as they braced themselves.

"You'd think they'd never been in a car crash before," Scott chuckled to Connor.

"Shaddup," Gold growled at him.

The car sped forward, flying past the ongoing battle and straight through the front door of the building. There was a crash and crunch of metal and stone. Debris rocketed inwards, rolling along the ground and crashing into the walls. Connors car was now well and truly done. The whole front end was caved in, all the windows had shattered along with it.

"Argh, everyone alright?" Sora groaned.

He received an, all good, from everyone before they all started piling out of the car. Connor grabbed a backpack as he left, slipping the straps over his shoulders. Once they were out a stream of ice suddenly flew past them, creating a wall of ice over the door Connor had just made. After it had finished, all attention was diverted to the one responsible for the ice wall. The culprit was a dark red hedgehog with dark blue eyes. He had five quills on him, three on top pointing up and two on the bottom pointing down. The hedgehog wore a black shirt over the top of a white long sleeve shirt, some dark pants; a pair of grey converse shoes and some black fingerless gloves. On his left glove was an emblem of a dark blue flame, while on his right was a dark red flame.

"Flare, I'm glad you made it," Connor greeted him, walking up and gripping his hand. "Last thing we need is to lose someone else."

"Likewise," Flare replied. "We need to move, I don't know how long that wall will last," he added.

A very loud and deep roar suddenly sounded from outside the building, bringing everyone to a momentary standstill.

"Not long by the sounds of that," Connor noted. "Let's go," he finished, following Flare deeper into the building.

"What the hell was that?" Glimpse asked.

"You seriously don't want to know," Scott answered, following after the others.

They moved onwards into the building, walking down a long spacious hallway to a large door. In the next room, they found exactly what they were looking for; the Star Posts. The room itself was quite spacious, probably about the size of the throne room in Castle Acorn. Connor walked over to the monitor next to the Star Posts and quickly got to work.

"Don't you need a password for that thing?" Sora asked.

"Yep," Connor simply replied.

"Would you happen to have it?"

"Nope."

"Then how are you going to get access?" Sora asked, somewhat uncertain this time.

"As I'm sure your aware, I don't have any real superpowers," Connor began. "So I've spent the most part of my life acquiring as many skills as I possibly can. One of the skills I excelled at just so happened to be," he stopped talking as he pressed one last key, the monitor lit up and allowed him access. "Hacking," he finished.

The monitor let out a few beeps, it was shortly followed by a soft whirring noise to signal the Star post was ready to have the coordinates entered.

"Does anyone have the coordinates we need?" Connor asked.

"I know them," Flare began. "I'll put them in if you li-" his sentence was cut short when another roar sounded from outside the building, it was followed by a heavy crashing noise.

"Oh shit! This is gonna get messy!" Scott shouted.

"Get away from the door!" Connor roared.

Doing as he said, everyone moved out the way from the door. Heavy footsteps could be heard pounding down the hallway towards them. By the sounds of things, whatever it was; it was running on all fours. The footsteps progressively got louder and closer, and then the door was thrown across the room. The creature responsible stalked through the doorway, it was like nothing any of the others had ever seen before. Connor and Scott knew what it was however, they'd had the unfortunate chance of meeting one just like it earlier on. Just like all the others, this creature was covered in a pitch black skin; the only difference was it had a dark brown tint to it. The creature was massive in size, if it were to stand on its hind legs it would easily tower over the group. A peculiar thing about it, was it had an exoskeleton. Each bone the same black color as its skin. The most defining point by far however, was its head. Upon its head was a large thick crest, adding to its already intimidating figure. If it had any eyes, they weren't visible. Just a set of sharp teeth inside its snarling mouth.

"What in Eons name is that?!" Gold shouted.

"Charger!" Scott shouted back.

"Sounds like the name just about sums it up," Flare commented.

"Don't bother attacking its head," Connor explained. "Its crest is impervious to just about everything we've hit it with, powers and bullets."

"Well how did you take last one out?" Glimpse asked.

"We didn't," Scott answered. "Last time we fought it, it was in a room much like this one. We had to do a runner, and it would seem it managed to follow us."

"Brilliant," Glimpse muttered to himself.

From behind the Charger, a second monster walked through the doors. It looked like, and was the same size as, a Mobian gorilla. Its pale grey skin had the texture of muscle fibers, making it appear as if it had no skin at all. The two creatures reared their heads back and let out a blood curdling roar, right before they charged for the group.

"Stay the hell away from the gorilla thing!" Connor shouted.

"What do you mean?" Gold asked.

"Just don't let it grab you!"

The Gorilla like creature ran straight for Glimpse and Flare, the two of them were standing side by side. Glimpse zipped off to the side using his speed, hitting it with a barrage of chaos spears afterwards. Flare raised left hand towards the beast, a stream of ice erupting from his palm. The ice connected with the beast, slowing down its movement. It jumped straight into the air and raised its fists above its head, slamming them down as it fell back down. Flare dived off to the side, avoiding the crushing blow. Still on the ground, he raised his right hand this time. Fire erupted from his palm and the flames licked the creatures body, charring and peeling its skin back. It turned to face Flare and slammed its fists on the ground, roaring angrily at the hedgehog. Flares eyes widened as he scrambled to his feet, quickly putting some distance between himself and the beast.

Over with the others, Scott dived out of the way as the charger went flying by him. It crashed into the wall and quickly turned around, deciding who to charge at next. Gold sent a large orb of energy straight for it, connecting it with its head. The beast hardly even flinched from the attack, it shook its head and ran straight for the fox.

"What did I tell you about its head!" Connor shouted.

Gold jumped out of the way and the Charger ran straight past him, at the same time Connor ran straight towards its side. He jumped into the air and landed on the Chargers back, drawing two knives from inside his jacket. He raised them up and then brought them down. One after another, the knives stabbed into the Chargers back. It got something of a reaction out of the beast, as it started spinning around to force Connor off of its back. It didn't take to long to take effect, the force became to much and Connor was thrown across the room.

"I think we're just pissing it off!" Scott shouted.

Connor flew across the room and skidded along the ground straight past Flare and Glimpse, the two were still fighting off the gorilla like creature. It had several heat and frost burns over its body, curtesy of Flare. It also had a few deep gashes along with them, Glimpse had summoned his sword out for a moment. The beast charged and knocked the two Mobians over before they had a chance to react. As Glimpse fell to the ground, it grabbed him by his arms and pinned him up against a nearby wall. Glimpse struggled and thrashed about to try and break free, but this only made the beast tighten its grip. A black mist slowly began excreting itself from the creature, flowing towards and through Glimpse before expelling up into the air. Pain rippled throughout Glimpses body, he gritted his teeth as he tried to bear through it.

"Hey, ugly," a voice said off to the side.

Both Glimpse and the beast turned their heads towards the owner of the voice, they found Connor sprinting towards the two of them. He jumped into the air and reared his left fist back, the creature opened its mouth and let out a roar. Connor came towards it and slammed his metal fist into its face, causing it release its grip on a Glimpse and fall off to the said. Flare ran up to the two and aimed his left palm towards the beast again, letting loose his ice power again. The freezing blast kept coming and Flare gripped his left wrist with his right hand, letting out a battle cry in process. The beast got back to its feet and started to run towards the three, it slowly came to a stop as its entire body eventually froze over. Glimpse summoned his sword and ran towards it, he let out a roar of his own as he swung his blade at the beast. The sword slashed through the monster, smashing it into an assortment of pieces. Flare slumped against the wall, breathing deeply. Glimpse dropped down to one knee, holding an arm against his chest as he waited for the last of the pain to subside. A roar from across the room immediately got their attention, reminding them all of the last remaining threat.

"Flare, we need that portal open. You're the one who's got the coordinates," Connor said to him.

"What about that thing!?" Flare exclaimed, pointing at the Charger.

"We'll deal with it," Connor answered.

Flare gave him a nod and ran for the console for the Star Post. Glimpse got to his feet and turned to the ongoing battle.

"Let's do this," he said, going to sprint towards the beast.

However, when he went to use his super speed; he ended up tripping over his own feet and falling to ground. Glimpse jumped to his feet and turned to Connor.

"What the hell?!" He very nearly shouted.

"Shit," Connor muttered, running his hands through his hair.

"Do you know what's going on?"

"It's how they got Knuckles," Connor explained. "That mist, it suppresses super powers; makes them go dormant. I didn't stop it fast enough, I'm sorry."

Glimpse looked down at his hand , curling it into a fist. He uncurled his fist and create a chaos spear in it.

"It didn't take everything from me, let's go," Glimpse said before he and Connor ran towards the fight.

Sora was standing in place, his back against the wall as the Charger lined him up. It made its move, dipping its head as it ran straight for the hedgehog. At the very last second, Sora dived out of the way; sending the Charger crashing into the wall. From where its head connected, cracks began forming upwards along the wall. Pieces of the roof crumbled to the ground as the cracks widened. As Flare was about to enter the last digits into the console for the Star Post, a cracking noise sounded from above him. He looked up just in time to see a section of the roof falling down towards him. He jumped out of the way, saving himself from being crushed. However, the console was unfortunately destroyed in process.

"Oh no!" Flare gasped.

"What is it?" Scott asked, diving out of the way of the Charger.

"I didn't finish the input, we're stuck here!"

The moment the words had left Flares lips, Star Posts came to life. A blue vortex swirling between the two posts, waiting to teleport its passengers.

"I thought you said you didn't get it," Glimpse said to him.

"It doesn't matter, we need to get out of here. This whole place is coming down!" Connor shouted over the noise of the building falling apart.

"Are you crazy?! We don't where that will take us!" Gold shouted at him.

"Would you rather be stuck in here with that?!" Connor yelled at him, pointing towards the Charger.

Gold followed his finger, seeing Sora and Scott desperately trying to cause some sort of damage to the beast. He let out a growl and ran straight for the portal.

"Everyone! Get through the Star Posts!" Connor roared.

Everyone was more than happy to listen to him. Gold and Flare were the first to make it through. Connor and Glimpse attacked the Charger to attract its attention, allowing Scott and Sora to jump through.

"Glimpse! Go, I'll follow you," Connor said to the green hedgehog.

Glimpse gave him a nod and ran for the portal, he stopped and turned his head to the human.

"Never Forgive," he spoke.

"Never Forget," Connor finished.

Glimpse looked towards the portal again and ran for it, jumping as he disappeared inside. Connor turned his attention back towards the Charger, it scraped one of its front feet along the ground bared its teeth before doing exactly as its name described. Connor dived out of the way and reached inside his jacket, drawing out a grenade. He pulled the pin and tossed it at the creatures feet. The grenade exploded, any damage done to the beast was masked by the dust it kicked up. Connor didn't waste any time, he ran straight for the portal and dived through.

Glimpse hit the ground with a heavy thud, he felt slightly dizzy after his trip through the Star Post. Behind him he heard a determined scream followed by another heavy thud. Looking to his side, he found Connor rolling himself onto his back.

"I hate teleporting," Connor growled.

Glimpse chuckled slightly at the statement, although his laughter was cut short when an all to familiar roar tore through the air.

"Oh god no," he heard Connor groan.

They both turned their attention down towards their feet, the Charger appeared out of thin air and landed on the ground with a crash.

"You've gotta be kidding me," Glimpse groaned, slowly getting to his feet.

Connor followed after him and the two stared directly at the beast ahead of them.

"I can't believe it followed us," Connor said. "I honestly thought the building would collapse before it got through."

"I wish you had been right," Glimpse said to him.

All of sudden, the two heard screams of terror erupt around them. Looking around themselves, they saw what appeared to be ponies of all different colors sprinting away.

"I don't think this is Moebius," Glimpse said slowly.

"We'll worry about where we are later, we have a more pressing issue to deal with right now," Connor said to him.

"Couldn't agree more," Glimpse agreed with him.

The Charger ran straight for them. Glimpse and Connor moved out of the way, running in opposite directions. Looking around himself, Connor saw they appeared to be in some sort of city. All the residents had abandoned the area once the beast had appeared, leaving the street totally empty. The sun shined brightly up in the clear blue sky, a rare sight for those from Mobius. Turning his attention back to fight, Connor saw the Charger had chosen to go after him. Up behind it though, he saw Glimpse jumping into the air straight after it; sword drawn and a determined expression on his face. He landed on it back and drove his blade into it, sticking it just a little back from its neck. The next thing he did was put all of his strength into pushing his blade to the left, causing the Charger to veer off to the left. It crashed into the corner of a storefront, creating several cracks in the bricks and causing part of it to fall apart. The Charger spun around and ran off again, jerking and shaking itself to try and remove the hedgehog from its back. Glimpse began twisting his sword, slowly creating a bloody hole in the beasts back. Connor realized what he was doing and an idea sprung to his mind, he reached inside his jacket and drew out another grenade. He looked back up at the Charger and threw it.

"Glimpse! Catch!" He shouted.

Glimpse looked up and saw the grenade, he raised his hand and caught it. Looking down at the hole he'd created, he realized what Connor had planned. He pulled the pin and dropped the grenade, stamping his foot on top of it for good measure before leaping off. He landed next to Connor and the two watched onwards. The Charger spun around again and went to run straight for them, not before the grenade went off however. The grenade exploded, sending pieces of flesh flying of in several directions. Most of its neck had been ripped apart, its black blood oozed from the wound and out from its mouth. Finally, the Charger fell. It was finally dead.

"Why didn't we just do that to begin with?" Glimpse asked.

"Don't know, probably because we didn't have any room to maneuver," Connor answered.

"Makes sense I guess. Any ideas on where the others might be?"

"Your guess is as good as mine. They must have come out somewhere else, let's just hope they're not to far away."

"Agreed, we'd better get moving," Glimpse finished.

Connor gave him a nod and the two turned to walk off, only to come face to face with several swords pointing right at them. Either held in the mouths of iron clad ponies, or levitating in the air.

"Well, shit," Connor muttered.

"We could take them," Glimpse whispered to him.

"I don't doubt that. But I know you well enough to know you'll agree with me when I say its a bad idea," Connor replied.

"Yeah. Only just got here, last thing we need is to start making enemies already."

They turned their attention back to the sword wielding ponies, they were currently talking amongst themselves as to what to do with the Connor and Glimpse.

"We'll take them to the dungeons, the Princess' will decide what to do with them," one of the ponies finally said.

"Oh joy, the dungeons," Connor sarcastically said.

"Quite you!" One of the ponies growled, using the hilt of a levitated sword to hit Connor over the head.

"That tongue of yours is going to get us into serious trouble someday," Glimpse said as the two of them were led away.

Connor didn't reply, in fact, nobody spoke a word for the rest of the walk.

As they walked off, one goddess of the sun landed on the ground in front of the dead Charger. She stared at in a mixture of horror and curiosity. She directed her attention to the group currently leaving the area. She decided she would have quite a few questions for the two strange beings, but first, there was the matter of the other creatures that had popped up in Equestria. More specifically, in and around Ponyville. This was starting to turn into quite a strange day for her.
