Stealth frowned not liking the look the hedgehog was gicing him. He was tempted to give him the one fingered salute but held it back.He just shot the hedgehog a dirty look and shook his head at the mention of transport."SOrry cant fly around and my bike was fried thanks to the goddess."he said trying to ignores shaes comments about the Evergreen Defense Force.
Meanwhile Legion was now enroute to his next destiantion. A samll supply base on the outskirts of robottropolise. If everything went smoothly with his field commander, he would come only upon rubble, if not then mabye he could have some fun with his hydra units. The swatbots had proven no challenge to his HYdra units. In fact there was one marked cassualty, strange enough while he was loading up the transports and tearing down his operations. Techs were analyzing the broken remains in hope to see what little sneak attack eggman threw his way. He sighed and pressed a button that had startred flashing. It was a tech informing him they got a picture of the attacker. With a nod he patched it through. What he saw though made his blood run cold. A figure of a strange pale overlander whose eyes seemed to blaz with the same curelty his eye was known to shine with. Simon frowned. How come this figure was so familer to him. Yet he never met the man before. Intresting. It would be something he would figure out later.

"Kurenai Takeko," the dhole said, smiling at the cat. "Though you should just call me 'Kuri,' since everyone else does." Shaking her head a bit, Kuri looked at the Templar, who had yet to speak.

OoC: Blah, sorry Ash, I got busy.. I'll make this quick since I have work.
Psychosis was errily quiet, intently staring into the emerald green eyes of the feline, CC. He shook out of it and nodded to her.
"There is much we have to discuss with you, CC Tomicat, it would be best if you were seated.."
He walked closely beside her as they head off.
"..My real name died long ago.. I am only known now as Psychosis."
---
Spade looked at these newcomers, and listened closely to their words. But he was doubtful, he was the type that needed proof of claims afterall.
"If you are who you say you are, then why don't you prove your words?"
Spade lowered his axe with a thud into the ground. He knelt down and carved a symbol in the sand. Standing back up, he gripped his axe.
"Only someone sent by our Mother will know how get accorss this barrier here."

Shae looked back at Stealth and smirked.
"Guess I'll just have to make a path for you throug hteh lava then." said Shae.
He dashed in the air and pummeled through some ruins, the large chunks of marble and stone being dropped into the form of a bridge acorss the lava river. He landed, dusted a few shards of marble from his shoulder, and started walking away.
Elsewhere; Gulo's transport shuttle arrived at the place of his defeat. Gulo and the ShogunBots departed, but he quickly ordered them back aboard.
"Hmm he's gone, I should have figured.. judging from the surroundings.. the scorched terrain and vegetation.. I'd say he was headed North." thought Gulo. "Pilot, we're heading North."
"Yes commander Gulo, sir."

Stealth sighed and shook his head."Freakin showoff I could have found a way to cross it myself ya know."The fox grumbled caustiously stepping onjto the bridge before finding it soldi enough he bolted across the structure. All the while cursing paranormals and espeicaly the bat.

"Hey, that's pretty nice work there, Shae." Thunder said. "Though I could've easily given him another cloud to fly on, but whatever works."
Thunder led the two back to a double-door, which was made of marble with power lines laced through it. Thunder emmited a signal from his hand, and the door reacted. The middle circle sounded with clanking as if a combination was being made. Once all that was over, the door slid open, and an elevator lift was revealed.
"Ok, let's get down." Thunder smirked as he stepped in.

(ooc - no worries Rick, figured it had to do with rl stuff!)
CC smiles at Kuri, "tis a pleasure to meet you Kuri," and then looks with a bit of shock at Psychosis, "no one has called me that in a long time... " for the first time since the little fight with the goons the cheerful expression on the cat's face turns to a frown, but the curiousity of the situation gets the best of her and she beckons to the two, leading them out of the alleyway and into the brightly florescent light lit street. It is noisy, as if the alley had created its own silent bubble and the full force of smells and sounds hits the small group.
The dark furred cat takes a deep breath in and sighs happily, coughing up a bit of blood and wincing, almost forgetting that she probably had a few broken ribs and who knows what else. Rolling her eyes she trudges on regardless, it is obvious that she knows the area very well as she dodges in between the bustling crowds, looking behind her to make sure that the two are following still. She takes a few turns and eventually comes to a suspiciously nioce looking diner on a quieter corner, when she enters the door she is met with looks of approval and the waitress behind the bar - a spunky looking cat with blue eyes nods and smiles. "Heya CC, looks like your fight didn't go to well..."
"Bah, wasn't the fight, that went just fine! It was the after party that was a bit rought on me," CC replies with a slight grimace on her face.
The waitress looks shocked for a moment but then covers it up easily, such things were not unheard of in this area and especially not unheard of when dealing with the unique honesty upheld by CC. "Just the usual for me please Denise... and these two are with me- my tab"
Denise the cat smiles and looks towards the Hedgehog and the Dhole, suprise again filtering across her face, her surface thoughts were along the lines of the strangeness of CC bringing people in, especially anyone she may consider friends. Though always kind of friendly, she did not tend to hang out with anyone, being a bit of a lone cat.
CC walks over to a table and waits for the other two to order and then follow.
__
The chasm was deep and as the lemur crossed it nimbly she spared a look down, realizing that she could not see the bottom. SHe reached the other side and landed gently, looking back to see that Shade had taken a different route, going along the shadows at the side. Realizing that he was still following she nodded and continued along, a little to late to realize that another trap had been set off. Spikes flew out from the wall next to her, piercing through the fur on her shoulder and she rolled out of the way. It was a chain reaction though and trap after trap was set off... she ran. It was the only thing she could do.
The first hit had gotten the shoulder of her mechanic arm, but it was not a bad hit and it only managed to dent the outside. She did not even notice as she jumped over spikes coming from the ground, using her mechanic arm to press down upon the tips of one of the spikes, flipping over it and landing gently on the other side. This time spikes came from either side of the wall and she rolled through them, just barely missing being skewered. She got to the end of them all, breathing heavily and staying close to the ground, chancing a look back to realize that Shade was having a tough time of his own as he had not been able to stay to the shadows for long with the spikes coming out of them - they could still easily pierce him and in fact there was a hole where normally there should be blackness.

Kuri, though definetly not as nimble as the cat she was following, made her way through the crowd of mobians, constantly mumbling apologies as she bumped into people. Narrowing her eyes to try and find CC, the dhole walked on, finally turning onto the same corner, eyeing the nice diner. Following CC in, Kuri smiled, "Uhm, I'll have a water please." She walked to the table and sat across from CC.

Psychosis waited behind, sending an avatar to follow CC. To her and the Dhole, it looked no different than he. Passing through the crowds of people, gamblers down on their luck, sedious streetwalkers.. the Casino Night Zone, was the only Zone on Mobius where it was always night time. And it was in the heart of Casinopolis City.
They arrived at the diner, and while the other's were distracted with the waitress, Psychosis nulled the avatar and teleported in its place. He glanced around, making sure there were none of the Prophet's followers there. Then sighed and calmed himself.
"I shall have nothing, I have no desire for sustinance at this time."
The waitress quirked a brow at him, shrugged, and went on back to the kitchen. He looked at CC, took a deep breath and spoke, keeping his voice low enough for only he, Kuri and CC..
"Ms. Tomicat, Kuri and I have been sent by the Goddess Aurora, she has asked that we recruit you in a battle against the demon, Syntaru, more commonly known to the Mobians as The Prophet."
He paused, as the waitress returned with their orders, waiting for her to leave again before continuing.
"You see, the demon is trying to free himself from The Void by gathering up the shards of his SoulGem, scattered across Mobius in 13 temples, we have already failed once at stopping him, we cannot afford to do so again, we have been asked, to take you back with us.. into the Chaos Realm."

Syth narrowed his eyes at the koala, he was seriously trying the Deathogs patience.
"You know who I am lad, that should be enough, but so be it. I'll break your ward not as a member of your Mother but as a member of my OWN clan. If that is not enough than I'll leave you to your people. . ."
The reaper slammed the butt end of his scythe into the turf, the weapon making a funny sight but no one staring at the two warriors was laughing. Syth clapped his hands and the leather gauntlets vaporized. What was only slightly visable before the gray bones from upper forarm to finger tips were born for all to see in their lack luster glory. Standing close to the glyph warded wall of force, the deathog took his stance and thrust his finger tips forward.
At first, the air seemed to bob and wave, the two opposing forces of life and death fighting one another and repeling at full strength. But like a sheet of paper the unliving fingers of Syth poked through the bubbled aura of protection. Beads of sweat formed on the deathogs brow as he flexed his arms and exerted himself. Either Spade was a great deal stronger than he looked or he was no where near fully healed when he left the chaos realm.
But the thoughts of Shade fading away forever, his friend and compatriot filled his mind. This leg was one part of many on his quest to finally deal with Syntaru. And fueled with his anger, the very stem of his power when enforcing his will on the world of the living it suddenly seemed all to easy to rend the wall of protection into ribbons of light and magic.
A crackle of energy rent between the two and the very earth was scorched black, neither knew it but it would be centuries before anything grew there. The very stone was rent lifeless. The two fell down on their rears, one wide eyed that his defenses had been defeated and the other beleaguered at the effort it took. Revenge it seemed, was not so easily had for the reaper.
Meanwhile; Lucian finally made it back into Robotropolis. A faint rap tap tapping came on Eggman's door. The automatic locks disabled and he was before the good Doctor himself in no time.
"It would seem an old friend of yours is returning for a bit of chat boss?"

The Doctor seemed detatched and confused, as Lucian had arrived just as the Doctor had slumped over asleep in his chair. Eggman looked at Lucian, cockeyed and high browed.
"Hmmm? Who wha? Huh an old friend? What are you yammering about Lucian?"said Eggman, trying to hide a yawn.
Elsewhere, Gulo was getting anxious, the path of scorched brush was blazingly apparent. This was the path that the Shadow Walker was taking. He leaned back in his chair for a moment.
"If these calculations are correct, his current path will bring him to Mercia, and with his current speed he should reach it before Sunfall in that area.. we'll have to cut him off." thought Gulo. "Pilot, set course for the Emerald Sea.."
Shae glanced around as the elevator descended. His arms crossed, he quietly grumbled to himself;
"We don't have time for this, but since Aurora hasn't transported us yet, she must be waiting for all the Mobians to be ready..." said Shae. "Thunder, what is this place?"
Shae spoke with curiosity in his voice, the place was clearly ancient, but technological in the same sense.

The some what drained overlander articulated his earlier meaning with haste. "Myes, a rather tall wolf, grey fur, mechanical eye, aura of blood thirst thick enough to choke a swatbot with. Ring any bells?
Him, his army, and a legion of Hyrda Destroyer Units have found a chink in your armor here, here, and here." Lucian pointed to a hologram map that sprung up from the console's projector."He should arrive, presumably shortly after nightfall, so I have some preperations to make first and foremost. I remember him from MY Realm and I have some serious pay back to deliver in the style only my kind. Cold and messy."
Turning on his heel, Lucian made his way to last surviving mobian in his "cafeteria". He had plans for this one, and the battle would be sweet indeed.

Eggman studied the map not noticing the vampire leave the command room. He stretched his arms and pressed a switch that pulled up a blender.. he mixed in some pre-cooked eggs and some coffee grinds, gulping the disturbing mix down with a slurp.
"Hmm, there's only one force on Mobius who would know my defenses that well.. Legion." said the Doctor "Set the city defenses on Egg-streme and have Project 2501 prepped and ready for use.."
