STH COM - Saga 5 Ep117

Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius
5th Saga: The Flashforward Saga

"Whoa... I never thought our kids could do THAT..." Said Sonic, as he stared at his super-powered children... {1}
"Well... they are your offspring, after all..." Said a voice that made Sonic turn to his side, to see Sally smiling up at him.
"Sally! You're OK!" Sonic exclaimed as he hugged his wife, who happily returned the hug.
"You didn't think I was gone for good, did you Sonic?" Hiding the truth, Sonic quickly shook his head in response.
"No. Don't be silly..." While she was skeptical about how her husband had answered her, Sally followed Sonic's eyeline back up to their children, who -along with TodStar- were about to take on Enerjak...

Episode 117 {2} - Chapter Twelve: The Return of Enerjak (Part Three) {3}

Both Super Sonia & Mega Manik Spin Dashed into Enerjak, but he merely swatted them away once they had rammed into him. But this gave TodStar the chance to strike with multiple Chaos Spears... that Enerjak managed to block. {4}
"CHAOS SPEAR!!" TodStar screamed before unleashing another wave of Chaos Spears at Enerjak.
"You seriously think you can defeat me, 'brother?'" Enerjak asked the super-powered green echidna. "Thunder Arrow!!" Enerjak sent dozens of arrows of Chaos Energy back. Some had blocked TodStar's Chaos Spears, while the rest actually struck TodStar himself. It was then that Super Sonia & Mega Manik Spin Dashed Enerjak in the back! But before they could anymore damage, Enerjak grabbed them both with his massive hands, making Sonia worried. "You children are SO pathetic!" The demi-god then attempted to smack the twins' heads together, but Manik disappeared before his head made impacted his sister's, so Sonia didn't get hurt as much as she thought. Manik then managed to Spin Dash into Enerjak's head, making him lose his helmet, and revealing the face of a certain red echidna...
"Yo, Ener-Tube! Ever heard of something called 'Cub Abuse?'" He stated, but that only made the echidna angry... making him roar as he unleashed an explosion of Chaos Energy that sent Sonia and Manik flying!

While the super-powered twins were distracing Enerjak, TodStar was holding his Chaos Blade up high in order to charge up an attack.
"C'mon, c'mon... the kids can't last much longer..." He said to himself, before Enerjak spotted him. "CHAOS BLAST!!!" TodStar then used his sword to fire a massive beam of Chaos Energy at Enerjak.
"Seeya 'round, Enerjoke!" Manik teased, before Enerjak suddenly unleashed a similar beam towards TodStar, making their attacks collide. "Guess not."
"Quick Manik, while he's distracted, we can take him down!" Sonia pointed out.
"Good thinkin' Sis!" He replied before they flew towards the demi-god. However, just before they could give Enerjak anymore injury, they impacted a barrier that was surrounding his back. "No!" {5}
"*chuckle* Now that the Master Emerald is under lockdown, the negative Chaos Energy within it has given me the strength I need to conquer Mobius... and NO ONE can stand in my way!!" Enerjak pointed out, before his beam of Chaos Energy grew larger and more powerful, making TodStar worried as it was overpowering his own. "Least of all, you... 'brother'..." The large beam from Enerjak had completely engulfed TodStar, making him scream in agony, and everyone else stare in pure horror as Enerjak laughed.
"TODSTAR!!" Cried Sonic, Sally & Miles.
"NO!!" Lara-Su screamed, before TodStar's body started to fall down towards the city. Before he could hit the ground however, Silver caught him using his Psychokinesis, which was when Lara-Su came rushing towards the green echidna. "Master! Master!"

"Lara..." TodStar said before he started coughing violently, making Silver hold him steady.
"Easy. You're hurt pretty badly." He told the green echidna.
"Never mind that. Lara... it's time I gave you something special... hold out your hands..." While Lara-Su was confused, she did what she was told, allowing TodStar to send an orb of Chaos Energy to her. Suddenly, the orb formed into the Chaos Blade, surprising both Lara-Su and Silver. {6}
"(So that's how she got it...)" Silver thought. [*1]
"I... I don't understand..." Said Lara-Su. "You're giving me the Chaos Blade?"
"Lara..." TodStar said before coughing again. "This is my final moment on Mobius-"
"No. Don't say that! Please..." Lara-Su tearfully begged, before TodStar held her cheek.
"You're grown into an amazing young woman, Lara..." TodStar pointed out as tears formed in his eye, aswell... [*2] "You are the daughter I never had... and I know you'll make... me... proud..."
"Mas... Uncle TodStar... don't do this..." Lara-Su begged once more as she hung her head, begging for her uncle to stay.
"Lara-Su?" Silver asked, making the echidna girl look up to see that TodStar had stopped breathing. "I'm sorry..." Lara-Su then tightly held the Chaos Blade in her arms and started crying, while Silver hung his head in sympathy.

Silver then heard Super Sonia and Mega Manik still fighting Enerjak, making him walk up to Lara-Su.
"You've gotta help them." He told her as he placed his hand on her shoulder. {7}
"I can't..." Muttered Lara-Su, still sobbing. "I can't lose another family member in one day..."
"You have to, Lara-Su. You're the only one who has the power to defeat Enerjak now." This made Lara-Su look up at Silver with fear and sadness in her eyes.
"You seriously want me to go up there and kill my FATHER?!" She tearfully screamed.
"He's not your father anymore, Lara..." Said a familiar voice. When Lara-Su and Silver turned around, they saw King Sonic standing before them. "After my encounter with Enerjak, I think it's safe to say he got rid of Knuckles not too long after he took control of him..." While this made Lara-Su even more upset, Sonic placed his hands on her shoulders and made her look at him. "Look at me. Your uncle never gave up hope, no matter what the situation. So you think you can follow in his footsteps?" Wiping the tears out of her eyes, Lara-Su gripped the handle of the Chaos Blade, before Sonic saw great determination in her eyes. {8}
"Uncle TodStar..." She said as she stood up. "... I promise you this: I will make you proud to call me your apprentice!" Lara-Su then used Chaos Control to warp up to the battle, where Super Sonia and Mega Manik were starting to look like they were getting weaker... which was when Enerjak grabbed them by their chests. {9}

"You two little runts seriously thought you stood a chance against the almighty ENERJAK?!" He asked the twins before laughing maniacally at them.
"Well... our father managed to-"
"SILENCE, boy!" Enerjak cut Manik off by starting to choke the hedgehog. "I will not be reminded of my most humiliating defeat!" [*3]
"Okay..." Said Sonia. "How'd you like to get sliced 'n diced by your 'daughter?'"
"What?" Just as Enerjak turned around, Lara-Su swung the Chaos Blade down towards him, making him release Sonia and Manik in order to block her attack. "So... my own daughter betrays me..."
"You're not my father..." She told him. "My father died the instant you came back into his life."
"Ahh, so the King told you the truth..." Enerjak then unleashed another explosion of Chaos Energy, making Lara-Su shield her eyes, and allowing Enerjak to grab hold of her arms and ram her into Castle Acorn's outer walls. "...however, I am willing to let you live..." As Enerjak was saying this, a dark mist was coming out of him and slowly making its way towards Lara-Su. "...so long as you take your place at my side." As the mist flew inside Lara-Su, she started moving around in pain. "Yes, Lara... let my darkness consume you, and we shall rule Mobius together, as father and daughter!" Just after Enerjak said that, Lara-Su eyes opened, but there was nothing but pink light that could be seen in her eyes.
"Don't count on it..." She said, before the same pink light started shining brightly, blinding Enerjak, aswell as everyone else. {10}

"Whoa!!" Shouted Sonic, Silver and Manik as they shielded their eyes.
"Lara?" Asked Sonia as she and Manik returned to their natural forms. As the light faded, Enerjak got a good look at how Lara-Su appeared now; She had lost her glasses, jacket, shirt and shoes, but she gained a gold helmet, a white shirt underneath a gold necklace, a white skirt with a blue stripe along it. She also wore gold-plated sandles, and had gold bands on each of her dreadlocks. [*4]
"What is this?!" Asked Enerjak, staring at Lara-Su's current state in confusion. "I do not sense any dark Chaos Energy within you at all!"
"That could be because there is no darkness in my heart..." She told him. "Maybe it's because my link to the Chaos Force is unrivaled... or maybe it's because my blood is too pure to taint with your darkness." Lara-Su then punched Enerjak away from Castle Acorn using Chaos Energy that sent him flying. "Take you pick. As long as I make you pay for your crimes, I don't care."
"So be it..." Enerjak replied before charging towards Lara-Su. "You shall regret not joining me!"

After an explosion of black and pink Chaos Energy, Enerjak and Lara-Su rose up to the clouds and exchanged Thunder Arrow attacks. While Lara-Su used the Chaos Blade to block Enerjak's attacks, Enerjak kept getting hit by hers.
"THUNDER ARROW!!" Both Lara-Su and Enerjak shouted as they threw dozens of Thunder Arrows at each other. Most of them blocked each other, but the rest were either blocked by Lara-Su, or managed to harm Enerjak! While Enerjak was stunned, Lara-Su used Chaos Control to warp behind Enerjak and kick him down to the ground, resulting in the dark demi-god creating a large crater within the streets of Mobotropolis!
"Had enough yet?" She asked after warping down to his level. Enerjak responded by attempting to zap her with negative Chaos Energy, but she merely shook it off. "I guess not..."
"Enough of the games!" Enerjak shouted, as his entire body started glowing a bright red. Realizing this, Lara-Su raised the Chaos Blade high above her head. "The servants are the seven Chaos..."
"The servers are the seven Chaos..."
"Chaos is power, controlled by my will..."
"Chaos is power, enriched by the heart..."
"The controller exists to enslave the Chaos!"
"The controller exists to unify the Chaos."
"You shall join your uncle now, Lara... CHAOS..."
"Burn in the Realm of Iblis... CHAOS..."
"BLAST!!!" After their chants, Enerjak unleashed another explosion of Chaos Energy, but this one seemed much stronger... while Lara-Su fired a beam of Chaos Energy at Enerjak to prevent the explosion from consuming the city. Mere seconds later, Enerjak quickly realized that the explosion of Chaos Energy was getting smaller, and the beam of Chaos Energy was getting closer...
"Impossible!! I control the Master Emerald! NO ONE should be stronger than I!!" He bellowed.
"What if the Master Emerald was merely a vessel for the controller we both mentioned?" Asked Lara-Su.
"What?!"
"Ever since Chaos herself merged with Tikal the Angel of Chaos, the Master Emerald has been nothing more than Angel Island's string, keeping it airborne. And that mistake shall be your downfall." [*5]
"No... no... NOOOOOOO!!!" Enerjak screamed as Lara-Su's attack engulfed him, much like he did to TodStar, except Enerjak was completely vaporized in the attack.

After Enerjak's destruction, Lara-Su walked towards Team Generations and what appeared to be their parents, still in her high-powered state, before Manik raced up to hug her. {11}
"You did it, Lara!" He said to her. "You were awesome up there. And you look absolutely beautiful right now..." Hearing this, Lara-Su blushed.
"Th-thanks Manik... I thought you were pretty cu-COOL in your super form, too." Lara-Su said, making Manik blush right back.
"So, uhh... do you... wanna go on another date with me?" Manik asked, but someone else caught Lara-Su's eye. "Lara?"
"Oh, uh... sure, is next Thursday okay?" She asked back, making him nod. Lara-Su then kissed Manik on the cheek before running off, causing Manik to faint. Lara-Su started to make her way through the Mobians in her way before coming across a certain pink echidna. "Mom..."
"Lara?" Asked Julie-Su when she saw her daughter.
"Mom... *sniff* You're okay!" Lara-Su said with great relief as she and Julie-Su hugged and cried with joy. "But... Dad... and Uncle TodStar..."
"Shh... it's all right, sweetheart." Julie-Su told her daughter. "I know." Lara-Su nodded, before they shared another hug.

While Lara-Su and Julie-Su were having a family reunion of their own, Sonic and Sally were squeezing their kids quite tightly.
"Dad, you're squishing me!" Sonia complained, making Sonic let go.
"Mom. Mom! Choking... not breathing..." Stated Manik, forcing Sally to let go.
"Sorry. I just can't possibly be more proud of you two!" Said Sally, as Sonic wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"Took the words out of my mouth, Sal." Sonic added as Sally slowly removed his hand from her shoulder. "You two were awesome throughout this whole thing!" This made Sonia and Manik high-five each other.

However, from the remains of Robotropolis, a robotic hand rose from the rubble, bringing a large Overlander with it... {12}
"Ragh! Thank you, Freedom Fighters..." He said as Swatbots had followed the madman up from under the city. "...by defeating Enerjak, you have given me another chance to conquer Mobius. And this time, NOTHING shall stand in my way! Ahh hahahahahahaha!!"

The next day, Team Generations -along with their parents- had gathered at what remained of the Pool of Tikhaos. Lara-Su -who had reverted back to her natural state- had a bouquet of flowers in her hands as she approached TodStar's body on the bank of the lake. {13}
"Uncle TodStar..." She began. "...you always were my favourite uncle. And you were the greatest teacher I could ever ask for. I never got to say this to you before, but thanks for hooking me up with Manik, too. I really like him..." Lara-Su blushed while saying that, as did Manik. Even moreso when Sonic bumped his arm with a cheeky grin on his face. "I don't really know what else to say... except that I'm gonna miss you... *sniff* very much." After Lara-Su nodded at him, Silver used his Psychokinesis to lower TodStar into the lake, which started shining once his body was completely under.
"Do not worry, Lara-Su..." Said a voice familiar to her.
"Tikhaos..." Muttered Sonic.
"Your Master is happy, now that he and I are reunited once more." Tikhaos told Lara-Su. "And I promise to keep him that way for you."
"Thank you, Tikhaos." Lara-Su replied as she bowed before the lake.

Later, on their way out of the Great Forest, Manik and Silver were talking while walking with Lara-Su, who was listening in. {14}
"Stinks that you couldn't find anything here to save your future..." Manik said with a sympathetic tone in his voice.
"Yeah. But I'm sure my friends and I can think of something." Silver replied, before revealing a Time Stone.
"You be careful, Silver." Lara-Su warned him with a smirk on her face. "I still owe you a rematch."
"Well, if I ever come back to this timeline, it's on." Silver replied while shaking Lara-Su's hand. "Chronos Control!"

And like that, Silver was gone, leaving Manik and Lara-Su to walk back to the rest of Team Generations.
"So, we still on for next week?" Asked Manik, making Lara-Su giggle. {15}
"Of course. I haven't stopped liking you after just one day!"
"Good to hear, cause Team Generations would be pretty dull without you AND Silver."
"We're seriously sticking with that name?"
"It's grown on me." Sonia pointed out.
"Ditto." Added Melody.
"I don't mind the name." Stated Shadow Android.
"I love it!" Yelled Skye, who was getting the fur on his head all messed up by Manik afterwards.
"Course you do, Skye!" He told the young fox. "You and me, we're like brothers!"
"J-just like our Dads!" Watching Team Generations run around the Great Forest was Sonic, Sally, Miles, Mina and Julie-Su.
"Heh. That ringing any bells for anyone 'sides me?" Asked Sonic.
"Yeah, that's just how easily you and I clicked at their age, Sonic." Miles replied.
"So, you two don't mind if a Guardian should become Queen of Mobius?" Julie-Su asked Sonic and Sally.
"If she's as great as Lara-Su is, why not?" Said Sally as they all looked back at their children, and their robot friend.

Later, Silver had returned to his future, only to gasp in horror at what he was seeing; cities and park overrun by darker-looking Prelates, aswell as Mobians now either captured and/or enslaved. The one thing that horrified Silver the most was the statue in front of him... {16}
"No... it can't be..." He said as he walked back in fear. "My trip to the past only made things worse... not only is my master King of Mobius... but he's made an army return to destroy the planet!" The statue that Silver was staring at was of none other than Shadow the Hedgehog, [*6] and the invading army all looked like triangles... "Master Shadow... why?"
