Chromatic Terras

"Knuckles, lend me your power!" Kali yells as he rushes to Trigun. Knuckles begins focusing his chaos energy and feeding it to him. As Trigun begins throwing daggers at Kali, he blocks all of them with his now stone animated fists and gets into close range. Trigun then creates brass Knuckles and slams it into Kalis fist. "If it's a fist fight you want, then it's a fist fight you get!" He yells as him and Kali begin matching each other blow for blow. Astraea is now sitting up, fully healed after the shot to her side. She looks on as Kali and Trigun are locked in a heated battle. The thought of being the weakest infuriated her as she gets up and now rushes over to them. While Trigun was focused on Kali, Astraea comes in and punches him in the jaw, and then releases a stream of fire. The surprised attack had Kali stagger back as Astraea takes the advantage and begins beating Trigun relentlessly. Unable to adjust, Trigun takes each hit full on. He's finally able to grab one of her hands and puts her arm into a lock. "You will pay for that wench." he says forming a sword above her head. However, Kali then steps in again and rams his shoulder into Triguns chest. He slides backwards as Kali helps Astraea up and the two look at him ,ready to go again. "I've had enough of these games." Trigun says, forming a now much larger weapon with his hands.

Knuckles prepares himself as Trigun rushes at him. Taking a more strategic route out, he dodges Triguns attack and rushes to Astraea and Kali. "Are you two ok?" he says quickly turning back around to face Trigun. Kali slowly gets up, with the hole still healing. "It's pretty painful, but I can manage." he says standing next to Knuckles. As Trigun then attacks again, Knuckles begins to emit chaos energy as Kali transforms him arms into rock. As Kali goes in first to counter the hit, suddenly he feels surged with an immense power and completely shatters through Triguns dagger. He then knocks his arm clean off, as Trigun moved to the side, avoiding any more damage. As he looks back, he sees that the chaos energy from Knuckles was slowly flowing toward Kali. His arm was now covered in a green veil, and his wound had healed completely. Kali looked to Knuckles confused. "You hold the same power as the Master Emerald?" Kali asks. "I was "gifted" from birth one could say. I have the strongest connection, and essentially am a chaos emerald." Knuckles replies. Trigun looks to the two and thinks for a moment, as his arm regenerates back. "You seem to be pretty powerful rodent." he says looking to Knuckles.

As Angel Island reaches the vast sea. Knuckles looks off the side of the island with Kali and Astraea. "Does this ocean dwell deep?" Kali asks, holding out the blue gem over the side. "No one's made it to the bottom as far as I know." Knuckles replies. Kali looks back to the sea. "Then this shall be enough." He drops the gem off the side of the island and the three watches as it falls down and lands into the water. A few moments later, a dip in the ocean begins to form as a water tornado suddenly springs out and rockets past them into the sky. The group looks on as it disperses, leaving a large water ball to fall down onto the island next to the shrine. The water then forms into the body of a man as the reborn elemental stands up. He looks around for a bit until his eyes fall onto Kali and Astraea. "Well now isn't this a surprise. No only are an earth and fire element working together, but it seems you even resurrected me. I assume you wish to have a battle then?" the man says, walking towards them. "We do not wish to fight, we're in need of help. Please tell us your name." Kali says stepping in to confront him. "My name is Trigun, 3rd knight to Poseidons royal guard. For what reason do you require the aid of an enemy?" Trigun says stepping up to Kali. He was a lot taller than he way and looked down on him with confidence. However, Kali was a man of purity, and did not flinch. "This world is not our own, and it seems we are the only ones here. We need you help to find a way back so that we can be with our families again." Kali says looking to him in the eye. Trigun smirks and walks behind him. "A new world you say. Then I see no reason as to why we shouldn't claim it as our own." "There is no need to unbalance this worlds elements. They live in harmony with no need to--" Kalis words are stopped short as Trigun spins and shoves a spear into his chest. As he looks down to the spear and back up, Trigun then lifts him off the ground and swings the spear at the Master Emerald Shrine, slamming Kali into the wall. Shocked from the quick attack, Astraea quickly sets herself ablaze and charges at Trigun. She fires a flamethrower from her hands and steam begins to go everywhere. As it clears, she looks wide eyed as a massive shield made of water was in front of her, Trigun then comes from the side and slams a mace into her ribs. She goes rolling off to the side and he then turns and looks to Knuckles. "Two down." he says, switching weapons to two daggers.

Astraea looks at the gem for a moment, and then back to Knuckles. "I'm sorry to say, but I have never met this one before. Our best option would be to revive him and find out who he is. Do you have a large body of water anywhere?" Knuckles points out to the horizon. "Angel Island will fly over the oceans in a few hours. We could drop him there." "Then we may as well wait." Astraea replies. She then looks to Kali, who was caressing the Master Emerald. "What in gods name are you doing?" "This emerald feels as though it talks to me." Kali says looking deep into it. "It's so soothing and full of life." "The Master Emerald is the very embodiment of like." Knuckles says walking up to Kali. "It also has it's own Guardians inside of it, Tikal and Chaos. However, it's been a while since I've felt their presence, they may have entered this world again for some purpose." (ooc: If I recall, one of you has Tikal running around, but did anyone take Chaos? I may wish to implement him in my story.)

As the trio make it back to the shrine. Astraea walks up to the emerald and sits on top of it. "So this thing is what brought you back huh. You must really trust me now to give away your only means of survival." "My past actions are irrelevant to what must be done now." Kali responds. "If only you knew how relevant they were." Astraea says hoping off the Master Emerald. "The reason we're enemies if because in our world, the elements must constantly expand. Because of this, the war on land is a non-stop battle. We fought a numerous amount of times, you and I." "As important as this may be, I would appreciate it if you didn't sit on the one thing keeping this island afloat." Knuckles says. Kali then motions Astraea to talk by the staircase. "If what you say is true," he begins. "Then right now the two of us being enemies would be meaningless. This world is already at peace with the elements." Astraea thinks for a moment and then looks at him. "Yea, i guess you have a point. But what should we do now about returning home?" "I'm unsure. However I'm sure we can work together on this." Kali says putting his hand on her shoulder. She smacks it off and steps away flustered. "Don't act like friends now because I decided to help you. We're still different elements and we definitely wont be friendly once we get home!" she yells. Kali laughs a bit and smiles at her. "You're right, I'm sorry. I wish things weren't so tense on our world." "The old you wouldn't have said that at all." Astraea says looking away. With them both on the same page, Knuckles walks up and pulls out the third gem he had found. "So with you two working together, Astraea do you know who this may be?"

Even when I don't like a specific stage, the musics good. That will never change with Sonic.

"I've lost most of my memory and we are no longer on our home world." Kali begins. "I'l need your help if we wish to get back. Astraea pauses for a moment and Kali gets off her. she sits upright and looks to Knuckles. "So what are you?" "I'm an Echidna, and as I said before, Guardian of this Island and the Master Emerald." Knuckles replies. "He revived me from my gem state as well as helped me revive you." Kali adds on. Astraea looks back to Kali and stands up. "We'll I guess calling you an idiot is out of the question. Fine then, I'll tell you about our past. Where is this Master Emerald of yours?" she asks Knuckles. "It's right this way." he exclaims as he leads the two back.

Knuckles starts to channel his chaos energy as Astraea turns her legs to fire and rockets toward him. He dodges her attack and fires a chaos spear that goes straight through her body leaving a hole. However, it instantly regenerates from flames as she turns around and launches a fire ball at him. "What is she, invincible!?" Knuckles yells to Kali, dodging for dear life. "She can transform her body into fire at her will! We need to keep the fight going!" Kali yells as his leg finishes healing and he rushes back in. Astraea turns to Kali and prepares another fireball, but he's too quick for her this time. His arms change color into concrete as he begins swinging punches left at right. After the first few go through her body, she then begins to start dodging others, and soon becomes in a panicked state. Knuckles uses this opportunity to slide through and knock her off her feet as Kali pins her down. "I don't know what life we had in the past, but I'm asking for your help!" he yells at her. This makes her look in confusion and seems to calm down a little. "What do you mean you don't know?" she asks curiously.

As Knuckles and Kali now wait in the forest under the mountain, Astraea begins to come to. She slowly begins to stand up as Kali walks over to help her. "It's ok, I got you." he says aiding her to her feet. Being a little taller than her, she looked into his eyes for a moment, as if she was about to speak. Knuckles then walks over to introduce himself as well. "My name is Knuckles, Guardian of this floating island. I can only hope you remember Kali. We seem to have--" he losses his breath as Astraea kicks him in the chest, sending him flying. Before Kali can react, she animates her palm into fire and punches him in the gut, then releases a fireball knocking him back as well. The two shake off their injuries and look up dumbfounded. "I don't know I should grateful or take you as an absolute idiot for reviving me." Astraea says looking to Kali. She then sets both her hands ablaze and begins firing flames at him relentlessly. Kali quickly gets up and begins running to the side, trying to close the distance. "You misunderstand! We aren't in the same predicament as we were before Astraea! I need you help." he yells, but she then targets where he was running and hits him low, blowing his leg off. As he falls to the ground, she runs over and pins his shoulders down, holding her hand to his face. "So tell me why I should blaze your head clean off right now." she says looking to him furiously. However, shes stopped short as Knuckles drop kicks her from behind and then helps Kali sit up right. "Will you be ok?" he asks looking at Kalis leg. "Yea, give me a moment." he replies. "It'll regenerate once I concentrate enough." "I'll keep her busy then." Knuckles says, looking to Astraea, who was now more furious than ever.

Knuckles and Kali make it to the mountain and enter a cave. After some tunnel ways, they enter a large cliffside, inside the volcano, overlooking the magma core. "This should eb enough to revive her." Kali says, looking in the magma. Knuckles nods and tosses the red gem in. As the two look on, a bright light is seen coming out of the magma and suddenly it begins to rise. Kali then looks to Knuckles. "I don't think it's save here." The two turn and run as the magma now begins to rocket upwards, chasing after them through the tunnels. They sprint for their lives as the leap out the entrance and dive to the side as magma pours out down the mountain. "It's going to destroy half the island!" Knuckles screams in panic. Suddenly the magma begins to turn and form back into a circle. It then slowly morphs upward in a female body, then solidifying into a human being with red hair. She falls to the ground unconscious as the remaining lava retracts back into the cave. Kali then walks up to her and picks her up, looking at her markings, "This is definitely her. Let's get her somewhere safe until she regains consciousness." Knuckles walks up and looks at the young woman. Her markings were all over her hands and forearms, as well as her calf down. "So she's an emitter then?" he asks Kali, leading him back to the shrine. "Indeed. Hopefully, she has more memory than I of our past lives."

"Are those markings sappos to mean something?" Knuckles says, pointing to Kali's torso. "They determine what power we have. If the markings go all throughout ones body, like mine, it means our power is body enhancement. All of my strentgh and skill comes from transforming my body into the very power of the earth, either for strength, or defense. If the markings are only on someones forearm down, and legs, then they can emit their element from their body as projectiles. Someone with markings only on their palms can create any form of weapon to use i combat." Kali explains "Is there any advantage or disadvantage from one ability to the other?" "It is only an advantage if you can use it better than your opponent. Each fighting style has their own strength and weakness." Kali then looks off to the mountains of Angel Island. "Is that volcano still active?" "It doesn't erupt, however there is an entrance to its core." Knuckles points over to the side of the mountain. "Then that should be enough. We ca revive Astraea and hopefully acquire more answers." Knuckles nods and the two run off towards the mountains.

The man looks up at Knuckles and then to his surroundings. He gets up and puts his hand on the master emerald for support. "My name is Kali. I am the very essence of the earth. I'm unsure of why I am here, and not my own world." he introduces himself. Knuckles thinks for moment. "How is it that you are alive right now?" "This gem on my forehead acts as my life. Once exposed to the purist of nature, I can be created to take form as this body. If I die, I will simply dissolve into nothing but the gem, until I am taken back to be reborn again. How is it that you were able to revive me?" Kali asks "The Master Emerald is the source of power to this land." Knuckles replies. I am it's Guardian, as such I protect it, and all living things," "Then we are not much different in our purpose in life." "As it may appear so. But can the same be said for these two?" Knuckles says holding out the red and blue gem. Kali looks at them for a moment. "I cannot remember much about these two." "What do you remember?" "Our colors give our elements, however we can tell each gem apart once we meet them. This red one is Astraea of fire, and this blue one I don't know." "So I assume we need to revive them as well to find out more answers." Knuckles says, putting the gems away. "As it stands, that is indeed true." Kali replies. He then puts both his hands on the Master Emerald. "If this jewel is as you say, may I borrow it's power to reactivate my own?" "Of course." Knuckles replies. Kali then look into the Master Emerald and focuses. Suddenly, green vinyl tattoos begin to spread all along his torso.

As the light dies down, Knuckles looks back to the shrine to see a dark skinned man laying on the ground. He slowly comes to as Knuckles helps him up. "Are you ok/?" Knuckles begins to ask as the person comes to. "Ugh my head." he replies. Removing his hand from his forehead, he reveal the green gem Knuckles had placed on the Master Emerald. It was now implanted on this person and glowing faintly. (ooc: I need to leave right now, but I'll be back to explain some more. And yes Locke, it would be unjust to not credit you for my return.)

Knuckles makes it back to the Master Emerald Shrine, looking over the gems respectively. He then notices the green one beginning to glow slightly. (ooc: it's good to be back, and with Locke's motivation, I have another story line for my favorite hero. I'll try to stay in it for this one.) "This must have some connection to the Master Emerald then." he says looking to the huge jewel. He sets the gem on top of it and steps back. The servers are the seven chaos. Chaos is power. power enriched by the heart. The controller is the one that unifies the chaos. Bring this slumbering power back to it's original state. The gem begins to glow brightly as a flash of light blocks Knuckles view.

(ooc: I do suppose it's time) Knuckles looks on as Ikiryo and Gamma stand before him in front of a star gate. They now prepare to leave for their own world once more. "It's been quite a long time since I met you guys, huh?" Knuckles says with his arms folded Heh, don't get all sappy with us now. "You have done much for us Guardian," Gamma begins. "We will not let this information go to waste." the two then activate the star gate and walk through. Knuckles looks on and sighs to himself. "What a wild ride. What am I gonna encounter next?" As he turns to walk away, the star post begins shinning even brighter than normal, until suddenly turning off. Confused, Knuckels walks up to inspect it, and finds 3 small gems on the floor. He picks them up, and looks in wonder. "I guess it came to me faster than I expected." he says, running off to reach Angel Island.

Yes, I do believe so O_o

lol I lie how we all opened i and said what was inside anyway. They're probably building up for some game where they become in use again and its ultra powerful. In reality, there are only 7 in terms of the games world, and they always scatter upon use, if I'm correct. Being able to find all 7 in a "lost world" doesn't really sound like it makes sense.

Well that makes sense I guess.

It is true they shouldn't through things out the window, but the sad thing is, they've thrown out quite a lot so far. I see it more as they should go take it out of the trash, refine it, and implement it into the new stuff they're trying to do. The chaos emeralds I don't know. They used them in generations but I don't own lost world yet, and apparently they weren't used in colors. As for Blaze and Silver........yea......

In my opinion, to get all the characters, like the chaotix, GUN, and silvers crew back, theyre gonna have to make another redo in terms of character. They already redid Sonics image and games, now they need to recreate some journyes with other characters so that this generation of players as well as older ones can get a refurbished feel in the Sonic Universe, rather than just tossing characters in without any significance like generations did. If they want a new look, then they gotta go new all the way. Have a game with merica and GUN, make a renewed Knuckles and chaotix, and then have Silver and Blaze(if game-wise, they're in the same zone) come in to help sonic change the future. Then they can go back to Sonic centered games and have random character appearances of everyone. Or even better, if people liked all the separate games, they can keep that going for a while.

afraid not friend

Too mainstream and would be ridiculous since everyone moves at like 100mph. Locke, I concur with the unlimited panty shots SA had. They must have been trying to imply something, god only knows what. I want another sonic shuffle also, or just any kind of board game. I don't care anymore if people say "oh Segas copying Nintendo by creating a bunch of sports, racing, and board games with characters." There's no law on what people can make so all the haters can take an egg carrier to the face.

I actually have 17 forms of life insurance right now. all of which go to Julie-Su if she ever decides to come back from wherever she went.

Oh right. I'm uh......in a master emerald coma
