Chapter Fifteen

'Well well, something good seems to have happened!' a voice said.

Luke and Chloe leapt across the room, stopping in front of Sonic and the others; not out of surprise but out of knowing who it was. Everyone looked across the room to see a man dressed in brown robes and clothes. To Tails, Luke and Chloe, it was the one person they didn't want to see. To everyone else, it was someone they didn't know.

'Who is that?' Amy asked.

'Clivion' Luke and Chloe said in unison. The group looked over at the man before them.

'So that's the famous Clivion?' Rouge asked. 'Yes, indeed I am' Clivion replied.

'Time to get revenge for what you did to Tails!' yelled Sonic. Sonic started running towards Clivion, but was stopped by Chloe, who grabbed his and swung him around, sending him running in the opposite direction.

'What are you doing?' Sonic asked. 'I'll explain later Sonic, but right now don't lay a finger on him' Luke said, sternly.

'Why not?' Knuckles asked, itching to jump at Clivion himself. 'There are rules that even he must follow. That is the only reason Clivion is still alive' Chloe answered.

'Rules, rules, rules. Annoying aren't they' Clivion said, but in a different voice. This voice was stronger and more confident than Clivion's first voice. Chloe tensed both of her fists as the voice came out, urging not to kill him.

'Clivion, don't push it. And you do know what will happen if you try that with me? I won't have the willpower to hold back and no one else will' Luke warned, putting a hand on Chloe's shoulder to calm her.

'What was up with that voice?' Amy asked. 'That voice was… Tristan's voice' Chloe said.

'Tristan?' Knuckles asked. 'Later' Luke said. Everyone continued to watch Clivion, expecting him to try something.

'So why are you here?' Luke asked, not shifting his gaze for a second. 'No reason' Clivion answered.

'If you're not here to set the date then what are you here for?' Chloe asked. 'Blame Tristan. I heard the word Reincarnation and he jumped at it so I had to come here to see who the lucky one was. Was it Alexander, Anya or Elise?' Clivion asked.

'Alexander' Luke answered. 'And who is the Reincarnation? Foxy, one of the hedgehogs, the bat, one of the rabbits or the echidna?'

Luke and Chloe both stayed silent, signaling everyone else to be quiet. 'Is it her?' Clivion asked, putting a hand on Amy's head.

'What the?' Knuckles and Sonic yelled, jumping back. Amy was frozen in fear, Vanilla stood in front of Cream and took a few steps back and Tails and Rouge flew into the air.

Luke and Chloe, however, stood still as if they hadn't noticed Clivion and his speed. 'No' Luke said.

'Is it him?' Clivion asked, now with his hand on Sonic's head. Now Sonic was frozen in fear.

'No' Chloe said, still looking forward.

Clivion smiled, jumped and grabbed Tails and landed on the ground with his hand on Tails' head.

Tails was frozen in fear.

At first he didn't know why Amy and Sonic didn't move, but now he knew.

Tails could feel Clivion's power when he had his hand on Tails' head. It felt if he moved a millimeter, he would die and if he made a noise, he wouldn't make another one.

'Tails!' Sonic, Knuckles and Amy yelled. They started running towards Clivion but stopped. Luke and Chloe were standing beside him with their swords to his throat.

'So it's him then' Clivion said, taking his hand off of Tails' head. 'Go' Luke said.

'I'm already gone' Clivion said. Luke and Chloe took a few steps back as two slabs of earth rose from the floor and flew together, squashing him. They separated and fell to the ground as if nothing had happened. As before, Clivion was long gone and this shocked everyone except Luke, Chloe and Tails.

'Where did he go?' Amy asked. 'Anywhere' Tails answered.

Luke and Chloe looked at him, surprised he knew the answer, but reminded themselves that he had Alexander.

'So what, why didn't you kill him?' Sonic asked.

'Let's go somewhere else. The guys watching the security cameras will be having heart attacks when they see this' Luke said. Luke and Chloe walked towards the door and looked back.

'Ms. Vanilla, can we use your house for the next few hours?' Chloe asked. 'Why yes, you may' Vanilla said, politely.

'Let's go then. If you want an explanation then come along or do you want to explain how Tails came back to life?' Luke asked.

'Sure' Tails said, walking towards the door.

'As long as it isn't as long as the last one' Amy said, following Tails.

'Let's go Cream, Cheese' Vanilla said, looking at Cream. 'Yes mother' Cream said, walking with Vanilla towards them. 'Chao chao' Cheese answered, saluting to Vanilla and flying after Cream.

'Rouge, Knuckles?' Luke asked. 'Sorry hon, but you guys can work this one out' Rouge said, walking through the door and flying away.

'Well, I've got to go watch the Master Emerald so if you guys need me, I'll be at Angel Island' Knuckles answered, following Rouge's lead and leaving.

'Sonic?' Chloe asked. Sonic closed his eyes, shook his head and answered 'No, if Eggman is still out there then I have to deal with him'

'Sonic, you obviously want to deal with Eggman, but those machines he had were obviously new to you all. If you want to stop him, I'll respect that but if my theory is true, then you have no chance against him without us' Luke said.

'I've stopped him hundreds of times, what makes you think I can't stop him again?' Sonic countered. 'Sonic…' Chloe started.

'Luke, Chloe let me deal with this' Amy interrupted. The second Sonic heard Amy's voice, he opened his eyes and looked up.

'Now Sonic, shall we do this the easy way or the hard way?' Amy said in an evil voice, slowly walking towards him.

'Now Amy' Sonic said in a scared voice, raising his hands and slowly backing away in the same pace as Amy. 'Let's not get angry here.'

'You have till three. One' Amy said.

'Amy' Sonic answered, getting more scared.

'Two'

'Amy!'

'Three!'

And with that, Amy leapt onto Sonic and started to wrestle him, raising a dust cloud so the others couldn't see.

'Does this happen frequently?' Luke asked in amazement.

'Unfortunately, yes' Tails answered, sighing at the end.

'Aren't you going to break them up?' Chloe asked, with the same amazement as Luke. 'I find it best to let them play' Vanilla asked.

'Poor Mr. Sonic' Cream said, worried about what Amy could do to him. 'Chao chao' Cheese agreed.

They watched for another minute before the dust cloud settled. Amy was holding Sonic by the ear and walking towards them. Sonic followed her so she wouldn't pull. 'Great news, Sonic agreed to come with us' Amy said, tugging on Sonic's ear.

'Yes, yes alright I'll go!' Sonic yelled in pain. 'Good, let's go then' Luke said, walking out the door with the others in tow.

'Useless machines!' Eggman yelled, kicking the remnants of his machine.

'Doctor, shouldn't you relax?' Decoe suggested. 'Yes Doctor, you need to keep your blood pressure down' Bocoe followed. 'Quiet!' Eggman yelled.

'He said these robots would crush Sonic, but they didn't do anything!' 'Doctor!' Decoe and Bocoe shouted in surprise.

'What?' Eggman shouted back and turned around from the machine he was kicking to see the man who gave him the machines.

'You! You said these robots what beat Sonic and his friends but they barely made a scratch!' Eggman ranted.

'Calm down' the man in brown said in a strong voice. Eggman closed his mouth before anything else came out.

'I said I would give you robots that could beat him, but I didn't say these were the robots. I used these to test something and thanks to that I have gained useful data' he said.

'But what about my robots?' Eggman asked.

'It has taken longer than I thought to get them all so I only have one of them' he answered. 'But this one should be enough for you to beat him' The man clicked his fingers and a robot rose from the ground.

'It's a bit rusted and torn, but if you are as good as you say, then you should be able to repair it' the man said.

Eggman was shocked at what he had brought him. 'I wanted to beat him, but this…' Eggman answered.

'Why would you bring such a thing here!' Decoe asked.

'Get it out of here at once!' Bocoe exclaimed.

'Silence!' Eggman yelled. 'I see your logic. Desperate times call for desperate measures'

'Yes, exactly what I was thinking' the man answered.

'I'll have the other ones ready soon, but they'll be in a worse condition'

'It's alright, this is more than enough for me' Eggman said, laughing evilly.

A bit shorter than the last one so sorry about that.
