[\\-{Sonic The Hedgehog: Flightless Hope}-//]

Brego grasped hold of Lloyd, making sure that he wouldn't go off anywhere. Dan put his hand on Vlad's shoulder.
"What about that Amari girl?" Dan asked.
"She'll be fine." Brego snapped.

"Never a dull moment with you guys, is there?" Floyd asked retorically as he put his hand on Vlad's shoulder.

Moe slowly stood to his feet, growling. The figure grinned as Moe charged at him. Moe swung his fist straight towards the figure''s head, who just ducked under it and slammed his fist into Moe's gut. "Ugh!" Moe groaned as he stumbled back a couple steps, then he got back into his fighting stance. "My turn..." The figure said with a grin, then he ran forward at an incredible speed and did a punching combo so fast to Moe's head and gut that is was just a blur. The figure then grabbed Moe's head and threw him several feet into the air and shot a huge dark energy beam at him. "Gah!" Moe yelled in pain as he flew far back and out of the figure's sight. "Hmph... He isn't very strong now is he..." The figure said, thinking, "But just incase..." The figure continued.

"Guh!" Moe groaned as he slammed into the ground a few yards away from the group and slid into the side of a building. "Moe?!" Floyd exclaimed as he watched Moe get up. Moe looked at the group, and then back to where he came from. Moe growled, "Here he comes..." He mumbled, getting in a fighting pose.

X

I turned my neck to look at Moe. "Now what?" I looked at Brego.

The hooded figure slammed into the ground infront of Moe, grinning. The figure looked around and saw X. "What a surprise. We never got to finish our last fight, I guess now's the perfect time" He said as he started walking over to X, his hands sparking with dark energy. Moe ran forwards towards the figure, readying a punch, but the figure just shot a massive energy beam at Moe, making Moe fly back and slam through the building behind him. The figure grinned as his hands began sparking again and he continued walked towards X. The figure then threw a punch straight for X's face, the dark energy sparks flying off his hands and heading towards X.

(The dark energy sparks will practically burn your skin from the power of them. It's alot like the dark attacks in Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, if you've ever played it)

(Did he fight X or just Dex.. I forgot :/)

I let go of the others and teleported 10 feet back. A black spark formed around my hand.

(He fought X)

The figure grinned as he shot a massive dark energy beam at X. The figure slid back several feet due to the power of the beam.

Moe weakly stepped out of the building, a weak growl could be heard from his voice. The figure grinned looking at him, "You still haven't given up? Let's change that" He said as he ran towards Moe and slammed his fist into the bottom of Moe's jaw, sending him flying into the air, then he shot an energy beam at Moe. The energy beam collided into Moe and flew him high into the air and then slamming into the ground a few feet away from the group, causing a large crater around his body. The figure walked up to Moe's body, grinning, "Weak" He said as he loked at the unconcious Moe, charging up a dark energy beam.

(Two figures right ? :O)

X

I span shooting out my own beam from one hand. The force caused a smoke ripple around the area were the beam came from. This was something new something.. old.. The beam had lightning like sparks spinning around it.

(One figure)

The figure shot his own energy beam at X's, attempting to overpower him.

Floyd backed up to the wall of a building, trying not to get hit by stray energy beams. He kept looking back from X to the figure.

Moe's eyes shot open, they were glowing black. Moe stood to his feet with a roar. Moe pulled out the dark red crystal. It started to glow in his hands, and then a giant dark red beam of energy flew down from the sky and slammed into Moe. The energy beam then dissappeared and Moe stood there, covered in a dark red aura, his eyes glowing black with fire visible inside of them. Moe let out a tremendous roar.

(Trouble for the two soon :3)

X

I smiled slowly as the beams slammed into each other. "Let us see you is stronger.." I grinned manically as white beam shot down the middle of the black one.

(He can become quite ruthless when he's X)

"X! Hurry up we need to get out of here!" Floyd yelled at X as a bow appeared in his hands. He reached behind his back, grabbing an arrow out of nowhere, and shot it at the figure.

Moe shot two fireballs one after the other at the figure. The fire was a dark red color.

The figure did a frontflip, dodging both fireballs and the arrow, and landed behind X. The figure attempted to stab X in the back with a syringe and draw some blood.

Floyd started loading up his bow with another arrow as Moe walked over and touched the tip of the arrow, lighting the tip on fire. "Neat trick" Floyd said as he aimed the bow at the figure and let the string go, sending the arrow straight towards the figure's head with a twang.

(As you can see, this fight anyone can join)

X

I span and smiled. "Uh uh uhh" I flipped kicking the syringe from the figures hand. I landed back down and stood up. "Coming.." I teleported to the group. "Link now!" I grabbed onto two people.

"Shoot!" The figure exclaimed, he then caught the arrow Floyd shot at him midair and snapped it in half, dropping it to the floor. "We'll finish this later" The figure said to X, then he looked at Moe, "But we're not done yet" He said, shooting a dark energy beam at Moe. The energy beam slammed into Moe and knocked him back, through the building behind him. The figure soon ran in after Moe, his hands sparking with dark energy.

"I sure hope Moe can handle him" Floyd said as he put his hand on what he thought was Brego's shoulder.

Lloyd was holding onto Dan's shoulder instead - Brego had gone to try and deal with the two threats. He was charging up Honor & Valor whilst he had his sword drawn, sprinting toward the figure running after Moe.
"Get back here and fight!" He shouted, wanting to at least know what this guy wanted.

(I think you mean Floyd was holding onto Dan's shoulder?)

The figure grinned as he stood over Moe, who was laying on the floor, covered in debris from the building. The figure then heard Brego's voice and turned around with a smirk, "Perfect..." He said as a dark energy shield enveloped the building, making it nearly impossible to get through, even if you could teleport. The figure then shot a dark energy beam at Brego and then threw a dark energy bomb towards Brego.

Brego threw his sword forward as it glowed brightly, the incoming energy beam getting absorbed by the sword as it propelled itself towards the figure. He rolled underneath the energy bomb to avoid it, then pulled out Honor half-charged as he fired a quick five-shot pulse in one go at the figure. (Like the killshot pistol rounds in RAGE.)

(Ooo)

X

"Looks like we eon't be leaving after all.." I sighed anf walked towards the building when I stopped. "What the.." I turned and then backflipped as small needle like beams hit the ground. I looked up and gasped seeing a figure standing upon a buidling arms folded wearing a long white hooded cloack.

"It can't be.. Triplpous your dead!"

The figure laughed. "I no longer go by that name.. my name is now Harbringer!"

I teleported up to him but he vanished.

(Wow... Seeing your post, Dex, makes me really want to progress into my story. It get's really cool after the final fight)

The figure ran forwards and slid underneath the sword, then he frontflipped over Honor's shot(s?), landing infront of Brego as his hands started sparking with dark energy.

Moe pushed the rubble off of ontop of him and stood to his feet, then he ducked to the ground, barely dodging Brego's sword, and then he rolled to the left, dodging Brego's bullet(s?). Moe ran towards the figure, his hands on fire.

(BTW, Moe's fire powers are a result of the dark red energy beam, which, if you remember about the crystal, are due to the crystal. They will wear off soon enough, and then he won't be able to use fire powers until he activates the crystal again. Which, by the way, drains his power every time he uses it)

(:D coolio :3)

X

I growled. "He was dead!" I slammed my fist into the roof of the buidling making it shake and then crumble slowly.

Brego quickly reacted with what he hoped was to be a slugger of a punch as his sword started coming back toward him like it was magnetized. Vlad and Dan hid from the reinforcements that had came in - five tanks with several more heavily armoured APC and 4 gunships.

"Shoot!" Floyd exclaimed under his breath as he ran to hide.

The figure simply stepped to the left, dodging Brego's punch. The figure then did a backflip, dodging Moe's punch and kicking him in the back of the head, sending him straight towards Brego as the figure just landed on the floor, grinning.

X

I teleported down and stood still. Anger and hatred were coursing through me. Black sparks shot out of my body. My eyes were now pitch black along with the rest of me.

The guards that came out of the APCs had more armour and better weaponry. There were two Heavy units that came out with a Marauder, too. Surely using a Marauder in a city full of people would be too dangerous...
"Spread out and search for the others! Tanks, focus your fire on the fight going on over there!" The captain said, who could be distinguished by a black cape going over his right arm. The tanks started to go towards where the others were having their fight, one having already shot a round in their direction that missed. As for the gunships, the robot angel from only moments ago had already got their attention, mainly because one of them had been shot down so quickly.

Brego tried rolling to the side, but Moe caught his shoulder and pushed him back a metre or two. He stood back up straight away as he caught his sword that continued to glow. At that time, he started mumbling.

"RETREAT! PULL BACK!" Donny yelled as a line of large box-like vehicles came out of the ground, four cannons mounted on the front behind the rotary blade at the front. A monster truck managed to break through their new front line and crushed a tens of enemy soldiers, but it became a great big target for enemy gunfire and was obliterated within two seconds. Every other M.R.A unit including Koln, who was starting to lose his temporary invincibility, started drawing back. However, as the ground units started to pull back, the air units continued their ruthless offense on the Doom Storm gunships and fighters. They needed to pull back too, since now most of the gunfire from the ground was being aimed at the skies. Donny pulled out his walkie-talkie.
"BLUE BARON, GET YOUR UNITS OUT OF THE SKY, WE'RE CALLING IN ARTILLERY!" Donny shouted over the continuous noise of gunfire and explosions.
"Donny!" Perco called to him. Donny looked at him, seeing that he was pointing at something in the distance. Donny turned round to take a look... about fifty heavy drop ships were coming in towards them, dropping some more soldiers with DAU upgrades, one dropship even deploying three flying mechs. Even with that, there were two huge mammoth tanks coming in that could be seen clearly over the vast enemy numbers, but the main thing that caught Donny's attention was the underside of a Space Cruiser appearing through the clouds from high above. The rest of the ship slowly started to come down, starting to reveal that it had the same amount of firepower as a small country's worth. Donny turned tail, grabbing Perco's shoulder as he sprinted over to where the Tiger bikes were parked. The others joined him and, only just, missed getting blown up as they spun round and sped off.

"The enemy are retreating." A soldier had told Gabe. He still wasn't fully satisfied.
"How are the sieges on the other two planets going?"
"Luxartha's fully under our control now. As for Ede-55, we are struggling. They aren't putting up as much of a fight as Mobius is, however."
"Send Operation Grimscale over to Mobius and the new X unit."
"You mean the Leviathan or the Kraken?"
"Those two are complete opposites to one another. I want them combined and I want their weapon power doubled."
"Yes sir." The soldier ran out of the office, leaving the other one alone in the room with him.
"When we have Ede under our control, we'll have every single unit of the Doom Storm empire focused on Mobius. We need that planet..."

Scizo, Aidan and Torrok (not sure if you remember these three? They'll be very important later) had managed to escape from the abandoned research facility, but they were still stuck in a snowy desert.
"Why were those guys coming after us?" Aidan was willing to find out. The three were taking shelter in a snow cave.
"Torrok's twin wanted him dead. As for Prozon, he wants revenge still..."
"Still?! Really? I swear he had turned to the good guys."
"He has. He just thinks we're the bad guys." She replied. Scizo and Aidan looked at Torrok, who was stood at the mouth of the cave on guard.
"Same happened to you, didn't it..." Aidan mumbled. Torrok looked round, his centre optic glowing green.
"I still hope he's dead." Torrok's voice blared, despite his tone being soft. "Dante never was a full on good guy. Part of him wanted to try and burn the world and if that group of people didn't get on his good side, we would be dead at least." Torrok stood firm with his opinion, despite only having seen Dante's bad side.
"We can only assume he is for now. We haven't seen him for ages..." Aidan said, sitting back as he looked at the icy ceiling.

Moe, after hitting Brego in the shoulder, stopped himself from falling and quickly turned around, firing two fireballs and a dark energy beam covered in dark red flames at the figure. The figure grinned as he just waved a hand and a dark energy shield came up besides the fireball and pushed it to the side. The figure did the same thing with the other fireball but in the opposite direction. The figure then raised both his hands infront of him, causing a dark energy shield to come up, blocking the energy beam from reaching him.

X

I brought my hand up and then fired a stream of black balefire at the figure.

(Which figure?)
