Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Sickle deserves his own post.)

Sickle stared at the things around him. The endless white void. The image of Kairi in her dress. He blinked. "Kairi...?" He asked, trying to get near her. when she grabbed his hand, he stopped all motion. As she raised it, he got an ominious feeling. "No... Kairi, No..." He gasped. As she leaned in, he was too frozen of what was happening to react. When she started to fade, tears threatened his eyes. "No. Kairi... you can't..." He choked. When she finally disappeared, he stood there, stock still. "Kairi?" He asked the emptyness. It was only a day of knowing her, but a lot can happen in a day. "Kairi?" He asked again, unsure of what to do. His eyes slowly turned to th necklace in his hand. The Shard of the Super Emerald shown birghtly in his hand, then dulled.

Suddenly, The events of what happened only five seconds ago unfolded into his very eyes as he watched as Kyle pulled the gun on her and fired three times. Time slowed as he watched, calling out, but no sound came. He watched all the bullets enter individually. He tried to shout out for her, but to no avail. He looked at Bullet, who was apparnatly rushing to top him. He felt a deep remorse for his untrusting attitude towards him. Here was the black wolf, trying to save someone he just met. He turned to Kyle, the Blue echidna. An undearing hate suddenly consumed him. His vision went red as it centered on him, and only him. He sudenly felt very different, and raised his hand towards him. Time strted to flow again as he shouted. "YOU (Yes, this is happening. Soul is going to type out a borderline swear word. I only type these when extreme emotional moments happen to characters. Hence, now.) BASTERD!" He shouted, breaking the silence around him. Instantly, he seemingly teleported to where Kyle was. Bullet and Sparky could only catch a glimpse at the, what was, the wolf.

Sickle's true form looked like that of a demonic killing machine then a wolf. The wolf's gentic engeneering had givin him the shape to Meta-morph, only being accesable in times of deep emotions. The genitic code was now bursting at his sudden rush of feelings, and the change was terrorfying. The fact that this being used to be the happy wolf seemed to far-fetched to be true. This thing's ears were completly gone, his eyes red, without an iris. Spines that resembled the quills of a hedgehog were spread down from his head to his back, and his tail was longer, which edged out to form his namesake. A Sickle. His legs looked powerful enough to cleave New York in two, and he stood as like a real world wolf, on all fours. With a sickeningly howl of despair for Kairi, he attacked Kyle with a powrful blast.

The Echidna didn't even have a split of a second to react. Taking the blast full force, He flew throught he metal of the truck and hit the ground, cratering a five foot diameter. Sickle was out of the truck in a flash, but oddly enough, a dark shroud consumed Bullet and Sparky, creating a dark realm of sorts, giving out a luminous deep purple glow. A disembodied voice, that only could be regestered as a demonic voice, whispered around them. "To protect from the moon. Just walk, you'll know where your going." It called. Suddenly, a 'mind's eye' of sorts appeared before them, and they could see 360 degrees around them, outside of the shroud.

Kyle was sent fifty meters into the air as a result of Sickle's second attack, and didn't even know he had a large object sticking out of his chest until he looked down. Sickle had stuck it into ima nd carried himself up with the echidna. "How dare you harm her!" The being shouted angrily, before stabing Kyle in the chest four more times with his tail. Swinging upwards, using his tail in Kyle as an anchor, he flew right up and was face to face with him. "You'll die more horribly then you could ever imagine." It barked. As if on cue, Kyle was sent into the ground, thousands of little spears of light converging on his position as he hit the ground.

Super flew through the forest at amazing speeds. His heart felt better then it ever had been. This was a relief, because at that moment in time, He was pushing himself beyond the bounds of what he could have put up with before. Blasting itno the scene a mere few seconds after the new arrival to this tangled web, he saw the damage, and to be honest, he couldn't figure out what was the most surprising.

A dark shroad of god knows what inside.

A fox holding the dead body of a new friend.

Or his best friend going postal on an unlucky echidna.

He decided first things are first as he approuched the fox quietly. After yelling his near insane calls, Super decided to interupt him. "Your gonna get yourself killed." He said, grabbing the fox by the shoulder and literally throwing him back. "Never be near that wolf when he's like this. He's liable to kill anything." He crossed his arms, eyeing Kairi's prone form. The attack. The light. This location. It clicked. "Kairi's death resulted in that beasts... lets say 'creation'." He said, choosing his words. "Otherwise, he's a happy go lucky wolf." He was trying his best not to break down due to the fact his limitations on his body resulted in this crises. "My guess? That Blue guy right there is the one who's responsible for those bullet wounds in her." His calm form hid the fat he was mentally melting. Where was Sparky? What the hell is that dark shroud? And why can he feel the precence of two familier objects.

Breaking away from the Fox, he walked over to the currently unmoving shroud. "The Pendents." He breathed. Sparky was in there. And so was another pendent. "Bullet."

Sparky could only watch as the darkness consumered her, hoping that it would loosen the orb's grip on her body. Staring over at Bullet, she swallowed, before closing her eyes in fear. With everything that happened previously--she was terrified.
"..Super..." she muttered softly, before gripping onto her pendant tightly. As she did, the pendant slowly began to light up, before letting out a bright light--which somehow--formed a hole in the orb.

Bullet on the other hand was completely silent. He had been surrounded by darkness like this before. It was what he had to go through everyday and it would continue--until Moonshot was no longer sharing his body.

Sparky's pendant continued to flash through the darkness, and even though it wasn't penatrating the darkness, it was acting like a becon, flickering rapidly, signaling whoever dove in her save her to where she, or at least the fastest route--since every part of the darkness looked the same.
"Super.." Sparky mumbled, as she pulled her tail around, curling up into a ball. Her body--which hadn't been moved in a while, had now began to trob.

"We need to get out here.." Moonshot's voice echoed through Bullet's mind, as he sat in the darkness with his knees crossed.
"Be quiet you..." Bullet replied. "If I get out where, you'll take control.."
"That's the point..." Moonshock replied. "That way we can take Sparky without any trouble."
"...I'm not going to let you do that.."
"And why not?!"
"Because--even though i fight dirtyI will not take advantage of my sister when she's down."
"But you do that everytime you throw water on her."
"...It's not the same...I won't do futher harm to my sister by moving her.."
"...Softy.."

Tails looked over Kairi's dead body. "Kairi..." He muttered, ignoring the fox in front of him. "Sickle told her to stay behind." He mumbled. "I should have agreed." He shook his head. She wanted to talk to him after this was over. Now that could never happen. "I'm sorry, Kairi." He sighed, before turning to the newcomer.

"Hedgehog? Was he blue?"

Suddenly, Super flew through the darkness and saw Sparky and Bullet. "Well, Hello there you two." He crossed his arms. The shroud felt familier on the inside. Taking note of the moonlight outside, he figured it was Sickle's doing, even thugh his arch enemy sat next to him. "Did I miss something?"

"Dude, Your answering so oddly. Super is Lime green, but umm... Blue hedgehog is Sonic, but he ain't bossy and he doesn't have a wolf pal tht's insane... Alright, I'm lost." He shrugged. He had been muttering this while The other fox was going through a book. When he was asked another twenty questions, he raised his hands up in defence. "Whoa whoa whoa! Chill out!" He exclaimed. He figured thats what Sonic woud have said.

"Look, I dunno. Eggmans attacking, so she might have wanted to save all the people." He scratched his head. "Well, uh. I saw her for a brief period today, she was with Sickle and Knuckles. She apperantly read all about me in... Oh! I'm sorry, I'm Tails, by the way. anyway, uhh.." He scratched his head. "Look, I don't know much. She was sorta dragged into all this by her necklace, which is a piece of a Super Emerald." He crossed his arms. "Sickle really wanted to protect her. It hink they were going out or something." He let one of his fingers graze his cheek thoughtfully. "So that may be the thing of value you were looking for."

Coughing, Sickle stood up again. Kyle sneered downwards. "Still up?" He called down, decending rapidly. Landing neatly on the ground, the Blue Echidna smiled menocingly. "I'm surprised. Had you been any better, You might have hurt me." He started to laugh. "But that's impossible. I'm a god. Your of a mere mortal coil. G.U.N. Would have been pleased if I brought you in alive, but dead seems so inviting right now."

Tails stared at him for a moment. In truth, he hated people giving him orders, especially people he just met. But something told him that now wasn't the time. "Fine, fine. Just don't try and kill anyone, ok? We got enough of that going around today." he said, referring to Kairi. "You don't want anyone in the same pain you are in."

Sickles form twitched slightly. His demonic voice filled Haden's ears. "You best clear out before echdna boy kill you. Like he did Kairi." It snarled. It luanched himself at Kyle once more, and this time, they traded blows as they kept in a deadlocked area, not giving the other a quarter. Albiet him invisible, Kyle's eyes flashed towards him, his eyes locked into Haden's. "Another one? I'm flattered." He said, before getting kicked in the jaw. He traded off by kicking Sickle in the gut.
