Chromatic Terras

(ooc: Oh dear indeed XD) 'But how did this happen?" I am unsure. I lost consciousness the same time you did. However, while we were traveling through space and time, I awoke to the sight of you. Normally I could only see what your eyes could, but at that moment it was like I was in third person. Next thing I knew, i awoke again to you moments ago. I think it had something to do with the machine getting tampered with before we successfully launched. "Do you still feel connected to me in anyway?" .....No. This is all weird to me. I knew how you moved and talked, but doing it by myself is just mind blowing. "Well that's good to hear I guess. Right now we need to find Gamma a chaos source. I think the warp drained him of his energy." Agreed, I'll grab the upper body. You grab his legs and lead off. "Exactly what I was........thinking....." ......Oh god it's like we're twins. "Well before we head out, you need a different name. under-sense is a little bland." I agree.....how bout...Ikiryo? "Hmm, alright. Well, let's get going."

Knuckles opens his eyes to the sight of trees above him. He rolls over and attempts to stand up, but loses his balance. As he sits there in a daze, he looks over to see Gamma next to him. He crawls over to the robot to which it looks like he's turned off. "This doesn't look good at all......" Knuckles says as he checks for any severe damage. He's finally able to regain his balance when he notices the dimensional watch near him. He picks it up and looks at it for a while. "Looks like Shadow was right abotu this thing needing to recharge. But why did Gamma come back with me?" He decides to go get help but freezes in his tracks to a strange sight. Laying on a tree next to him was a silhouette of himself. The only thing noticeable was that the crest on his chest, and his eyes as he began to open them, were glowing white. As he began to stand up, Knuckles walks over to him. "Are you....what I think you are?" That depends on who you think I am.

(Just cause I wanna write the rest before I forget) Gamma begins his final assault on the clones. His skills over the years make them easy opponents, however, trying to protect Shadow and knuckles at the same time has him at a disadvantage. He is quickly overrun and begins a fallback while firing his blaster. "Shadow, I request immediate assistance! Is Knuckles safe?" he calls out. Shadow picks up his radio. "Gamma....I need you to rush behind Knuckles, there is a switch on his warp I need you to activate. I'll cover you." "Understood." Gamma stops firing and sprints back to Knuckles. Shadow pulls out his pistols and begins firing at the clones to slow them down. As Gamma reaches the top of the warp, he sees there is no switch to pull. "Shadow are you sure--" Suddenly the machine goes quiet and then quickly reboots itself. The entire room begins to shake as a massive portal begins forming from inside of Knuckles and consumes the area. Gamma is too close to avoid and begins to get sucked in as well. "Shadow! I do not understand! What are you doing!?" he yells as he gets sucked away. The energy from the pillars spark all over the room as the portal begins to come to an end. Shadow raises his hand and the energy begins collecting onto it. "I'm sorry Gamma. There was no way you'd be able to survive if you stayed here." he picks up his radio to contact the other scientists. "General give me an update!" "We were able to salvage 90% of our data. The clones began following you once you headed back down to the basement. What's going on down there!?" the radio responds. "Don't worry about me. I'll make it out of here soon enough." The room begins to flood with water as Shadow crushes the energy in his hand, causing him to go into super form. The clones begin to surround him as he begins powering up. "Let me show you the true power of an ultimate life form." he says turning into a large red orb. All the clones spring at once as he explodes into a large chaos blast. The facility, and everything around it, gets completely vaporized.

Dylan and Survivor seem to have a rivalry going. However, my rivalry with Sonic shows my superiority and thus I will win.

Gamma and Shadow run up the spiral staircase and upon the door to complete chaos. Researchers were scrambling everywhere, trying to save as much as they could. The guards were attempting to keep formation but were constantly broken up. Clones were rampaging across every room, destroying things left and right. Multiple hull breaches were open and water began crashing in. Gamma looked to Shadow and gave a nod. They closed the door to Knuckles's chamber and ran out. As Gamma started shooting down clones one by one, Shadow started directing people to the quickest escape routes. Within minutes, he was able to regain control over the facility and got everyone on the same page. With the full power of the faculty, Shadow makes a push on the clones, and manages a safe path to the escape pods. He puts guards in charge or protection and gets radio contact with his first general. He then runs back to Gamma who was protecting the door to Knuckles. "They seem to know what's happening downstairs." he says as Shadow rejoins his side. "Then we can't let them get through. If it fails now, we may not be able to......LOOK OUT!" They both dive out the way as a group of Sonics spin dash straight into the door. With a combined force, they almost instantly break down the door and start heading down the stairs. "You hold them off, I'll stop that group!" Shadow yells as he sprints after them. Gamma gets up and continues his hold on the clones. He's able to hold it up for a little longer, however even more begin to rush in, forcing him to fall back. He hits the emergency shut down and starts running back to the room as large metal doors start closing behind him. He runs back into the room to see the dimensional warp going haywire. He looks to Shadow who was at the computer trying to impute codes. a trail of blood was running down his left arm. "Shadow, you need medical attention." "Not now! One of those clones managed to hit one of the trans-dimensional pillars I had aligned for a stable power circulation. Knuckles has gone unconscious due to the shock. If I don't stabilize it, he may not survive at all!" "What is the charge at?" "97%. This energy is completely unstable however! It's almost as if it had the same reading as......" Suddenly the door breaks open as the clones finally made their way into the room. "Gamma, I need you to hold them off! I think I have a way to fix this!" "Understood!" he says, and runs off into the clones. "You inferior models will not stop us." Shadow looks to Knuckles and closes his eyes. "It's been a while since I've been able to feel this kind of power."

*Walks out covered in dust and explosive burn* I assume you did that to tick me off, cause it definitely won't stop me from winning.

Sorry. Father or not, I'm gonna have to win this one.

Shadow looks to Knuckles as he tries to break free. "We have to protect the base!" he yells as he tries removing his restraints. "No!" Shadow yells back. "If we turn it off now, we'd have to recreate the whole thing!" Shadow runs off to the communication and punches in an emergency number. "All staff in the facility! This is a code white! I repeat: Code White! Evacuate immediately!" he puts down the phone and looks to Gamma. "We have to protect this room at all costs. Where are they entering from?" Gamma does a quick scan. "They have us surrounded all outside. However they can only enter from the main bridge down to this room." Shadow walks past holding his gun. "Then we know what we have to do. Knuckles, I promise you, you will get back to your world. Don't worry about us." he then sprints off up the staircase. Gamma looks to Knuckles, who gives him a nod, and follows after Shadow. You're just going to let them go like that? "They would only get mad at us for not trusting in them. Remember, they're just as strong as our Shadow and Omega back home, if not stronger. They won't get taken out by some outdated clones." Still.....I'm gonna miss them. "Yea...me too." The machine begins to grow louder as it approaches 40% charge.

*Trips Dylan into a mine* Now I'm winning.

(2 months have passed since the day Shadow began working on the inter-dimensional warp chamber. Knuckles had joined Gamma in the survey ops and fought alongside him against the army of clones Eggman continued to unleash. Throughout their time. Knuckles under-sense had grown a brotherhood with Gamma. Being able to hear him gave someone to talk to, and share opinion with on not being a full organic. As a result, Knuckles began to see himself as two separate people. With the days slowly closing in on him returning to his own world, he was worried of what would happen to his undersense. Having it re-become one with his subconscious seemed natural, but it didn't feel like the right thing to do. As the weeks went on, the day had finally come....) Knuckles was sitting in the lounge looking out into the dark abyss of the ocean, when Shadow entered the room. "The device is complete." They walk back into the underground lab where the watch that Knuckles gave Shadow, was now suspended in mid-air in the center of the panel. Shadow walks over the his computer and begins pulling up data. "By my calculations, if we place you at the center of this rig, it will create a massive energy spike and send you back to the dimension you came from before here. From the readings, it isn't your main world, however it is filled with chaos energy, so the dimensional watch should be able to recharge. Because we've never seen it do so before, I don't know how long the recharge will take." Knuckles looks to the ground. "I see...." "You look troubled about something. Rest assured, we will do our best in this world." "No, no just that....what about my under-sense, as Gamma calls it." Shadow pauses for a moment, and puts his hand to his chin. "I am unsure. It wouldn't necessarily disappear, but at the same time, it wouldn't stay as well. I've tried looking into the cause hundreds of times, however my under-sense simply thinks the same way I do, due to my creation. Therefor I've never been able to learn anything from it. We can only hope for the best." It's alright Knux, I doubt it will be that bad. Plus, I had a great time. I can't be picky about getting to exist in the first place. Knuckles nods and shakes Shadows hand. He slowly walks up to the warp point and Shadow begins initiation. Suddenly, green electric chains begin forming and grab hold of Knuckles. "Those are to keep you steady as the device analysis you for departure." Shadow states. "Once everything is fully powered up, you'll be off in no time. Suddenly a large explosion is heard from outside the room. Shadow panics at the thought and runs over to the door. Gamma is there to warn him. "We've been found!"

Oh, we're doin this? Very well then. I will take the last post.

I'LL PUNCH YOUR CHOCOLATE A THOUSAND TIMES OVER TO TAKE THIS WIN!!!

(Shimata!) *Punches chocolate* You're plan to foil our battle will not keep me from the win!

*Grabs tree and throws it at Dylan but hits Cheerleader instead* I'm winning this!!!

....*Punches Dylan* So I win now?

the original last post started by saying what powers of your avatar gave you the ability to win. Before I became Knuckles, I had Dark spines sonic as my avatar and would say stuff like "my eternal flames will snag me the victory" and other stuff like that. you can agree that simply saying "I win because I want to" will get boring after a while. As long as we don't overboard it, we'll be fine. :D Mmmm your reasoning of Red and blue are true, but my strength will give me the win. Oh and no super powers. I think that's an easy ban to keep things regulated lol

(lol it won't turn into an RP unless we make a story out of it. Just saying I win because of my cape is fine.) Although I agree with you, in the situation of Blue capes, I will win and take the last post as well!!!

*Walk in with Blue cape* Ah, my Red cape nemesis. We meet again. I will secure the win in my triumph over you.

Gamma and Knuckles walk into the North Wing and before them, stands Shadow in a lab coat. He looks over to see Gamma enter, and then nearly drops his notebook when he looks at Knuckles behind him. He quickly grabs a pistol from his waist when Gamma raises his hand for re-assurance. "It's ok, this is the Guardian Prime." Shadow lowers his weapon and walks over. "Guardian Prime huh....so I guess you're from a different dimension." "Yes I am, and Gamma's filled me in on your world dilemma. I understand I have to return to my own, however I still wish to help you any way I can." "Your care for others takes me back Guardian. The you in this world has changed after all of the trauma he's been forced to endure. I can only pray from him and the others safety now....Come with me, I have a device that may be able to send you back to your own world." Knuckles follows Shadow as Gamma walks off in the opposite direction. "I will go back to report the data I found today." he says and heads off. Shadow leads Knuckles to a lower floor in the base and into a massive room with a contraption in the center. Shadow turns on the lights to reveal what looks to be a teleporter of some kind. "I've been trying to create a transportation machine for a few years now, however without Chaos energy, we don't have any resources abundant nor strong enough to power it." What about that dimensional watch thingamajigur we found when we first got here Knux? Knuckles takes out the dimensional item he found and holds it up to Shadow. "Do you know what this is?" Shadow takes it and looks at it for a moment. "Hmm, either I'm dreaming, or you have the most ridiculous stroke of luck I've ever seen. From what I can translate out of this device, it has the power to transfer you between dimensions, however it requires chaos energy to do so. Now it's already filled for one trip, but it's been put into a sleep mode." "You got all that just from looking at it?" "I've picked up a few things from becoming the Ultimate scientist lifeform." he says smirking. "Now if I were to connect it to my machine, I should be able to unlock it and send you back to your time. However, it may take a while." "How long is a while?" "We'll when you put in the calibrations and field testing to ensure you don't get ripped apart....a few weeks by the looks of it." "I see. Then I guess I better get situated around here and help out while you figure this thing out." Knuckles gives a quick nudge on Shadows shoulder and runs to find Gamma. Shadow watches him go and looks back at the two devices. "This place really has taught me more about my emotions. I hope that Guardian can keep his family safe." He sits at his desk and begins to work.

My chaos powers will stop you from winning, and take it for my own.

Knuckles and Gamma ride onward down the underwater highway. Finally knuckles asks a question. "So what got Shadow into being a scientist anyway?" he says while popping a wheelie. "Even as the ultimate life form, he felt powerless with the loss of his chaos powers. He's the only one who hasn't given up on creating a way to get the chaos emeralds back. Through his discoveries, we've been able to advance in every other aspect of technology, such as creating these hidden bases, and weapons to aid against Robotnik. Currently he's been working on dimensional travel, in hopes that the chaos emeralds were simply moved, rather than destroyed. Our only hope is that he too doesn't become a mad scientist. If we lose him, we would lose almost everything." Eh, our Shadows had some sketchy pasts actions, but he finds the light one way or another. Gamma looks off for a bit. "I am happy to hear, however in this world, there isn't much light to find anymore......we have arrived." The two go down a short hill and before them lays a massive dome underground. They slow down and get our their bikes to head to the front gates. Gamma places his hand on the wall, and it is scanned and recognized. The door opens and what lies before them is a massive factory of vehicles, weaponry, and labs. "Follow me." Gamma says and walks towards the area labeled as North Wing. Knuckles follows him silently as he looks around at the many different things people are building. He was astonished to see how far things had gotten in the few years that have passed.

So i want it thus I get it.

But what if i want it?

*recreates the moon* There, don't need any oceanic disasters. Also I'm taking the win back.
