Aurora glanced to the West of the temple, to a clearing where a dust cloud was dissapating.
"The hunter.." thought Aurora.
She raised her right hand into the air, forming a ball of air and electricity. She threw it into the sky, causing it to explode, sending an EMP wave throughout the Forest. All electronic devices were nullified, rendered useless.
"I must be sure to keep the audience at a minimum." thought the Goddess. "Limit it to only those necessary.."
Gulo's SwatBots began to short-circuit and shut down, he looked on in confusion..
"It's clear she knew we were here much sooner.. so why did she wait until now to send out an EMP?"
The bursting ball of electrity was bound to bring the rest of those needed to the Temple Grounds. This was her plan, to gather all the coming travellers.. so that they may see the larger picture.. to kick start their destiny.

Stealth jumped looked up in the sky as it lit up in an explosion, he stood their watiching till he hissed in pain as sparks and arcs of electricity came from his comm device burring into his side. cursing in the goddess name he threw the device to the ground in anger. "what the heck.."he said glancing back only to see his bike fall to the same. He cursed something had fried his equipment all he had left was his weapons, wich thankfully were not electronic enough to befall the fate as his gadgets.
Stealth shook his head at this and walked onwards at a faster pace, his gun held tighter in his paw, now at the low ready. His eyes scanning the area as he ran to the steps, placing a single foot on the stone surface as he brought his weapon to bear at the top of the steps. He was sure whoever made that explosion had to do something with the mystic energy source and they seemed to be dead set in keeping him away from it. Could it be eggman? Or mabey a paracriminal whom espcaped from a maximum security detention hall. The fox let out a low growl at that thought as he slowly moved up the steps.

Aurora quickly turned to the Western steps of the Temple, spying the Fox darting upward.
"Ah ah ah.. not yet little fox.." scolded the Goddess.
She formed a second ball of air, whirling its mass to a small tornado, the tornado swooped over the stairs above the fox, sucking him up into the vortex and carrying him back to her. The wind cleared and the fox was left floating there, upside down, his weapons on the ground out of reach.
"Your ambitious nature will be your eventual downfall, young Stealth." said Aurora "Now, you be a good foxling and stay put, you'll have your chance to complete your.. mission.. but for now, you are needed for another task."

Stealth stared into the goddess eyes defiantly. One moment he was running up the steps determined to get to the source of energy and complete his contract and mabey kick some paracriminal tail and the next moment he was sucked up like in some giant vaccume cleaner and carried up the steps cursing the whole pantheon of mobian immortals along the way, only to have his weapon belt and even the gun in his hand yanked from him and dropped to the floor.
So now here he was facing what only five minuets ago he considered religous boohah The goddess aroura. it had to be her . The wolfess seemed to ooze somekind of holy might and she was dressed like what he say in holy books as a kit. Still it was simple to say he was ticked, no one, not even an imortal had the right to treat him like this. Still though he was helpless spinning around upisde down in the air and he was getting woozey from the blood rushing to his head. So he stared at her defiantly and crossed his arms over his chest. "Fine...toots Just let me down and Ill do whatever you need me to do."he grumbled.

Aurora chuckled, gently turning the fox right-side up and lowering him to his feet.
"That's better, I do appologize for using such methods, but I cannot allow anyone access to the temple.. the evil forces seeking its powers must be bested first." said Aurora. "There are yet a few key mobians to arrive."
She sat on a ledge on the base of the temple's main walls, flipping her blonde hair aside, her bright blue eyes gleaming in the sunlight.

Psychosis slowly began to regain his consciousness after the blast of energy. He staggared to his feet, leaning on a nearby tree for support. He looked around to gain his bearings and stop his head from spinning.
"Such a power from this place.. truly part of a great evil lies inside here.."
He sensed someone approaching from his right, someone of incredible power, a being straddling between existence and death. As his head was still cloudy, he first thought is was the Grim Spectre, come to take him from this mortal coil, fearing he'd not just been unconscious, but was killed. He soon overcame the foolish idea and gazed upon the dark fur of a bat.
"Who.. are you?"

Stealth glanced up at the goddess as he crouched down to check on his weapons holstering his guns and exsrtending his staff with a metalic shickt sound as he stood up."looks like my weapons are fine."he mutered before leaning on his staff and glancing up at the goddess on the wall. A part of him wondered if this supposed immortal was just a looney witch but that was just a small part, something in his very soul told him this was the real deal still a thought pestered him.
"Hey toots you said you had a task for me....and what do you mean forces of evil, paracriminals?"he as he wondered what in the hell did a bounty hunter have to do with celetial planning.

The time was now, for Andre Demockstro. He was an intimidating figure for his size, standing at six foot and seven inches as his burning body marched towards the carbon throne of the most dreaded figure in the zones. His body was charcoal black, the flames of a slight violet constantly wrapped around it. All that was fairly obvious was the haunting sight of a mask that unnerved even the hardiest of combat veterans. For a face that was not alive, it certainly seemed as if it could snap one's head off if one wandered too close. A large velvet cape trailed behind him, similarly on fire. The thing whipped around and grabbed at the air, as if trying to escape it's owners influence. Another prominent feature was the unruly claws that extended from his expert hands. Each finger protruded an unhealthy four inches from the hand and ended in menacingly sharp blades.
Andre approached the dark throne, it being a pain to gaze upon the guise of The Prophet. He kneeled down to the master of the void with his claws rested against the top of his right knee. His stare was melted to the floor as he spoke. "A pardon, Syntaru. But I wish to inquire as to when I will be sent to Mobius. It has been some time since the deal has been made." Andre's voice was deep and distorted, the cackling flame adding to the effect. There were not many denizens of the void quite like him.

Shae outstretched his hand to the fallen hedgehog, helping him to his feet. He then bowed his head.
"My name is Orion Shae, you may address me as Shae though if you'd prefer." said Shae. "I am the Vanguard of the Goddess Aurora, she has wished me to bring you to her.. your help is needed."
Shae lead the black hedgehog to the temple grounds, where he noticed the Goddess speaking with a grey fox. This made him weary, but the Goddess did not seem to be in peril, so he let it pass.
"Hardly a 'paracriminal'.. my dear fox.. I speak of the one true evil in this world, the source of the everflowing River of Darkness and Destruction.. my brother.. Syntaru and his cult of followers." said Aurora to Stealth. "He is sending one of his generals here to reclaim a piece of his SoulGem.. which is what was causing the strange readings on your devices."
Down in The Void, in Syntaru's crypt;
"Hrmph, insolent Shadow Walker.. you will be sent up to that realm when you are recquired to be there.. you will know when that time arrives.. bother me no more with this frivolity." said Syntaru.
The black shadowed demon waved his hand, dismissing the Walker from his presence.

The flame-shrouded Andre nodded, not daring to speak further. He was lucky that he had even been accepted an audience with The Prophet. Slowly did he rise to his bare enflamed feet, turning his back to Syntaru and walking the way he had come. When he was required? Was he to be put to use immediately upon arrival? That notion did not appeal to Andre, unless it involved some notion of wetting his blade. He did not like the idea of serving as an errand boy.
But neither did he want to suffer the dull existence of being locked up in the Void for much longer.

Stealth shook his head looking like he half believed her, he was after all just sorting these events wich were shaking his belife system. "Geeze for a guy who thought the gods and goddeses where just kid stories, this is alot to take in, but it would explain why that energy came in so strong on the orbital satlaite sensors wich alerted The EDF hunter corps in the first place. Still If that bastard wants that gem thing, well to bad that general aint getting it."Stealth growled patting his staff afectionatly.

Psychosis stared wearily upon the temple, because of his curse, he could not see the outcome of his actions. Nor that of what would occur by following the strange bat, but still, the urge persisted. He followed the bat upward to the top, just short of the entrance. He glanced at the grey fox, then back at the bat, and then lastly to the glowing Goddess, in her wolfen form. He stood in awe, his mouth open from shock.. he was in the presence of his creator.. the creator of all life.. Aurora. "My Lady Aurora, I am humbled to be in your presence."He dropped to one knee, honoring the holiness of the beauty before him. |

"Arise Templar, you act as though you are unworthy to see me, but you are far from such a disgrace, you are an integral part of my designs.." said Aurora.
Shae glanced at the fox as well, eyeing him up and down.
"And who, may I ask.. are you?" said Shae, somewhat arrogantly.
To the South, Gulo sat in watch, observing the increasing ammount of mobians arriving.
"Hmmm without those Swats, I'm on my own, not that I need them, but they are a nice way to draw fire away from myself.. if I'm going to secure this Temple for father I'm going to have to make a move.." said Gulo to himself.
He sat, resting his back against a tree.
