(OOC: READ LAST CHAPTER! Those who were not moved to the Chaos Realm, continue from where you were. Those who were moved there, you'll start there.)
Travesty had been commited, betrayal served, with the Goddess weakened, the forces of light would be most definately halted, hindered in their quest.
"Augustus, Rayne, help the Goddess to her feet, bring her to the Eternal River.. so she may recover from this vile assault.." said Aries "I know how you all must be feeling right now, and I assure you I feel the same.. but now that Shae has been pulled to the darkness.. we have NO time to waste.. follow me.."
Aries briskly walked down a set of cold stone stairs, waiting for the warriors to arrive at a large set of wooden doors. The doors were marked with countless symbols, from the different languages on Mobius. The symbols referred to what the room was; the Chamber of Time.

Stealth only grtowled as he followed the vangaurd. His face full of dfury."Oh hes a dead man all right. SHouldnt have let my guard down, I knew something was wrong on the bat....but I swear hes gonna get it."The fox growled as he cursed himself for his own weakness. He was too slow to react. By the time he had his weapons targeted on the bat he had done his deed. To stealth it was proof he didnt belong. Still though he was determined to teach that bat a lesson, even if it ment going along with this celstial bull. "Yeah that bnat is a dead man."he grumbled to himself.

Kuri, once again disorientated by the two consecutive teleportations, kneeled for breath as the goddess recited an abreviated version of what she had said earlier. Finally finding her legs, she was able to stand just as Shae interrupted Aurora. The next events happened so quickly - one moment Shae was yelling at Aurora, the next, the goddess was hit by purple energy and the bat was gone. Numbly, the dhole followed the other vanguard, still not understanding what had happened. "Why... Why did Shae do that?" she asked no one in particular. "It really doesn't make sense."

((OOC: Net has gone down at my place, so I'm gunna be a bit sporattic in posts for now...as if I'm not as it is, that is...))
Stealth was not the only one shocked and angered by this act. Luminous' mind was racing. He spoke no words, but his face showed it all. For the entire walk, his eyes were blaring white and his fur shone greatly. How could one who was given a home after all that had happneed turn against the one who shelterd him? It was not right? Even Lum, an Exile of Floating Island, would never do such a thing! Following the now familiar footsteps, he looked up, noticing the change in the atmosphere, the weight changing somewhat....Something had changed in the setting they were in, but as long as it helped them, he did not care.
His goal was now more apparant than ever.
Gain control of the light he fears so much, and fight for the protection of Mobius.

It took every ounce of strength within Psychosis to not let his emotions control him, and lose control of his powers. Still his heart pounded with rage, the treacherous acts of Shae, the former Vanguard, were of the most vile indeed. And he did not see it coming, with all his psionic abilities, he could not foresee this future. He walked, close to CC, his fists clenched as they followed Aries to the large wooden doors. Spade too was taken aback by what had transpired.
How dare someone attack the Mother of Mobius like that? It sickened him.. but at least now he knew, if only partially, why he'd been summoned. The Dark one was trying to free himself, he would fight and work his hardest to serve his Mother. The days ahead would be hard and grueling, and time was very, very short. Both Spade and Psychosis waited outside the large wooden doors.

As the betrayal shook the heroes emotionally, and some physically, the battle between Gulo and Andre went unchecked. There was a sudden wave of unbearable heat that would have otherwise destroyed Gulo, only knocked him unexpectedly backwards with Demockstro howling in a surge of dark flames that seemed to double in power. Something had obviously happened in Gulo's disfavor. His voice flared up again, and this time seemed to come from all corners of the the area.
"You have not even begun to scrape my knee, child of revenge! I have not come from the blackness of my Hell to be thrown back in by a whelpling of childish mind, who has been ignorant and belittleing of his opponent!" Andre screamed, flame sprouting up from the sides of his mask as he lectured Gulo with a rage not to be stopped. "Maybe one day you might have sated your insatiable lust to lop off my head and spike it on a platter. Maybe you have not known defeat before me! Or maybe you just do not want to let down whoever you serve. But know that this day, you will not kill me. The only person you shall kill, is yourself!" The giant stopped in his rant, the flames unrelenting. Nearby trees behind him back to catch aflame. "The only thing you are currently butchering is who you are. Now get out of MY WAY!"
And if by giving an example, Demockstro raised The Reckoner higher in the air. Flames wickedly began to wrap themselves about it as if ready to strike down their usurper. Andre Demockstro would carve Mobius in half if he had to.

Syth leaned heavily on his weapon, he had not dispelled it since Shae had attacked his previous Mistress, nor did he seem keen to keep it. It would seem that no matter what realm the deathog traveled to the bat was bound to darkness no matter how hard he tried or flexxed against it. Syntaru was a Complete Being and omni-present in all zones but all the same, to have that much influence on all the Shaes all over the multiverse. This particular factoid made the Reaper think. To have complete domination over a soul in all it's incarnations was no small task, even for a primary being like Syntaru. And certainly such an effort of will had purpose as the Dark God was not known for frivolous shows of power with out point.
The betrayal oddly enough, did not shock Syth all that much. The Goddess was constantly betrayed by those tainted and tempted by the darkness. The three new arrivals certainly didn't illicit much of a response, he knew their souls, the cat's even seemed familar. But only in the sense that he had worked with the raw spirit of cats before, nothing specific. A twinge at the far sides of his mind kept brining his mind back to the rough and tumble gal though. She as well as the others had all kept their distance from the brooding deathog. His very aura kept even the faint breezes of the Chaos Realm from his face. The Reaper's nature manifesting through his unconscious absorbsion of the relams essence. He had to remember to move about now and again or what he was leaning on would slowly disolve.
For not the first time the Grim One though about just heading home, he could slay a sentinel and absorb it's being. Granted, that would be VERY painful for the guard and it's death wouldn't be perminent but it would afford him enough energy to get home. But was it really home? Yes he lived for his work, and he was damn fine at it, he'd been doing it for millenia. But either it was being faced with his own twisted version of mortality or in loosing his only friend that made the deathog leery to return to his realm of residence at once.
Meanwhile;
A drowsy eyed Lucian entered the Eggman's lair. It would seem the creature had been working long hours and the toll had been taken on even his undead body.
"You summoned me, sir?"

Eggman looked at Lucian, chuckled, and turned around in his chair.
"Lucian m'boy, you look like hell.. I bet you could go for some fresh blood ne? Well you'll have just that chance.. much to Legion's credit, he's limited my supplies some.. you're going to change that.. along with my new pet here.. OH APOOOOOOOPHIIIIIIISS!! COME TO EGGY!!" said the Doctor.
And on cue, the large Dragon landed on the air deck roaring and blazing falme in a display of power. Back across the oceans, Gulo was holding his power. He waited for the right moment, and just as the Walker rose his sword Gulo moved in close, pushed his arm through the flame and fired off the max-charged plasma cannon in his palm.
The massive blast shorted out the cervos and circuits on the arm, but unleashed an incredible force in point blank range of Andre. Before the dust could settle, Gulo boosted back to the safety of the shuttle.. if this attack failed, he would retreat and conserve his energy, increase his power.

Lucian stared on at the creature in awe. The thing reeked of power and potential bloodshed. Man oh man I ain't seen compensation on this level since folks found out Dracula was hung like a horsefly. . .. The vampire snapped out of the daze in a moment or two.
"Goddess Damn Robotnik, if that thing were any bigger you'd need a pocket dimension just to store it's chew toys. So this is what you've been toiling on for the last couple of decades. I was wondering why the Freedom Fighters were still alive. A project THIS immense would certainly take up the mainstay of your attention. . ."
Turning to his employment, shrugging his shoulders and some of his lethargy, the vampire looked alert. He had work to do and he was about to find out what.

Demockstro had expected this sort of retaliation, but did nothing to defend against it. He had left an opening for an opponent in his rage and it had cost him dearly. The colossal beast from the Void took the blow on the chin, literally, and stood there afterwards. Much of the forest behind him had disappeared in the impossible time spanding seconds. The only parts that survived were the parts shielded by Andre's body. For a long time the demon just stood there as his mask had been torn away in the severe energy scalding Gulo had delivered. And for the first time in a long time the thing had revealed his face.
Smoke rose from the extinguished body of the Demockstro as he stood still. The face was mangled and hideously charred across the entire left side, though the wound itself looked old. The right side of the face was bare skin, smooth and a pale white in contrast to the other side of his head. A wide eye stared obliviously into the void once more to become a pitch black emotionless window to the soul he had lost long ago. The mouth of the not-so now demonic creature gaped open to perhaps curse the name of Gulo's reckless success. And without warning the creature toppled over with no second wind there to pick up him in salvation.
Andre Demockstro lay on the ground, his second death beckoning him forward back into the pit he had crawled out of.

"Nyes, he is impressive.. isn't he.. it has come to my attention, that Legion has a supply base of his own in the remotes of the Ice Cap Zone.. considering how far it is, it's relatively night all the time.. so you've no fear of burning.. this supply base is the only one that is run by his Mobian slaves and not his Hydras.. this is the one that supplies his Hydras with their energy cells.." said the Doctor "I want you and Apophis to wipe it from teh face of the planet.. there'll be plenty of fresh meat for you to feed on.. just keep enough alive to bring back for roboticization."
Gulo, in desperate need of repairs, retreated into the shuttle.. ordering the pilot to fire upon the useless ShogunBots, destroying them. The shuttle flew off, heading back for Robotropolis.. leaving the stowaway behind.. with the not-so dead Walker.

The vampire gave a short bow, and his preditor gleam shown on his pefect white fangs once more. Leaping high into the air, the darkling landed on the dragon's shoulder, where it got a good look at him. The two monsters met eyes, robotic and undead, neither turning. While the mechanized lizard had no eyelids, you could say that it blinked first, and lowered it's head a fraction of an inch. Stroking the long well armored neck of the creature, even though Lucian knew it couldn't feel it, they had bonded on some destructive level.
"Nothing quite like whole sale slaughter and a scorched earth plan to boot. I'll be sure to leave some scraps to join your mechanized army, what do you want me to do with Simon if he's there?"

"Though it's doubtful he would arrive on time, if he shows up.. kill him... the route to the Ice Cap Zone does have sunlight.. be sure to use your shield when necessary.. and take the oceanic route.. less chance you'll be spotted.. oh and Lucian.. if anything happens to my dragon.. I'll personally yank your fangs out and toss you into the sun.. from space.." said the Doctor.. with a serious tone.
In the Chaos Realm, Aries had opened the doors of the Chamber of Time.
"Enter here.. you will each be taken to a specific room that will hone your undiscovered potential and abilities.. you will endure tragedies past, alternate futures and realities, all with the intent of strengthening you.. though it may seem that years pass by, you will only be gone for 24 hours.. in here.. movement of time is a suggestion.. not a reality." said Aries, walking away. "Warriors can lose their minds in this temporal rift.. be careful.. and good luck to you all."
(OOC: Heroes, this is the first of many chances where you will be able to control the Roleplay. Each of you have free reign over what happens during your experiences in the Chamber of Time. Suggestions include; reliving things in your characters pasts, living out and facing their fears, things that will test your strengths, weaknesses and sanity. Good luck.. Villains and other folk.. you'll see where to go very shortly.)
