Chapters Four and Five up!


Chapter Four: Return.

Gaming Force quickly made thier way to the portal on the beach, making thier way down the highway. The shroud of night gave them cover, but instead of going on foot, Joshua, Seb and Zac wanted to test out thier new toy...A large six wheeled battle-car which was painted blue, large lights which pierced through the night, as well as other multiple features. As they all climbed in, Joshua grabbed the controls, much to Zac's anger.

"No fair! I wanted to drive!" Zac yelled angrily.

Joshua simply smirked.

"Two problems, Zac. One, you are only fourteen years old. Secondly, even if you were sixteen, I doubt you'd even be able to see over the steering wheel!" Joshua laughed.

Seb and David chuckled before Zac gave his older brother a punch in the arm. He walked off to the back of the battle car and sulked. That was before he found the weird looking console that he hadn't noticed before. Playing around, he suddenly found the floor move upwards and he was placed outside on the roof of the Battle-Car, in a small sphere which had some sort of weaponry on it.

"So...Any ideas for the name, Seb?" Joshua asked.

"...How about the Fire Wave?" Seb suggested.

Joshua nodded before pressing a series of buttons, which caused the Fire Wave to move forward. Driving down the highway at a high speed, Joshua simply looked up at the moon to see a large shadow move over it. The stars slowly flickered, before a bright red flash collided with the Fire Wave. Joshua was thrown forward, Seb fell over, Aisha held on to Toxic, Veneno simply laughed as well as David, and Adis fell out of one of the beds.

"What the?! Zac! Do you see anything?" Joshua yelled.

There was a bit of static, but the message was quite clear.

"S.P.I.K.E robots! Coming in fast bro! Let me at em!" Zac yelled over the radio.

There was a green flash as the Fire Wave's weapons were fired, which caused scrap metal to fall from the sky. Everyone found robots on all sides. Steering towards the road to the beach, the car moved forward as more laser blasts struck it.

"Veneno! Grab the wheel! Seb! David! Follow me!" Joshua ordered.

As Veneno managed to steer the Fire Wave, Joshua and his friends rushed to the back of the car, where he pressed a red button. A hatch opened up above them, before they were on the roof of the car. Robots zoomed towards them. Seb grabbed his axe, Joshua drew his swords and David prepared his mace.

"Scrap Metal, coming in fast!" Joshua yelled.

Seb shot a blast of fire towards a group of robots, causing them to overheat and exploded. David threw his mace towards more robots, which collided with them, causing them to explode before returning to his hand. More of them kept coming, as all four heroes managed to fight them off, the portal was still nowhere in sight.

"Joshua! We've got company! S.P.I.K.E Guardian coming in fast!" Veneno yelled over the radio.

"Great! More Scrap Metal!" Seb exclaimed.

Sure enough, it was guarding the entrance to the portal. The robot was at least five meters tall, with multiple weaponry latched to it's body. Razor shards jutted out of the thick armour, which looked like it could tear people to shreds. Smiling, Joshua leapt of the Fire Wave and attempted to strike it's head with his swords. Not a good move.

"Joshua!"

The robot raised it's arm and swung out at Joshua, if it wasn't for the bolt of lighting that Seb had cast, he would have been seriously injured. Joshua gave him a thumbs up before twirling his swords in a circle, thrusting them into the robot and he jumped into the air, dragging the swords with him.

"CLIMHAZZARD!"

The robot fell back, before Zac created a large javelin of ice, which he hurled at the head. It pierced straight through, causing it to explode, but the robot still approached. Veneno and Toxic got out of the Fire Wave and got out thier Plasma Guns. The beams of energy had little effect. It slowed the robot down, yes, but it continued to advance. It seemed that is was determined to stop them.

"Zac! Get ready!" Joshua yelled.

Zac had leapt down besides Joshua and was slightly surprised when he was grabbed by the legs and swung around. It seemed he had a plan. Zac smiled and covered his fists with shards of ice, before Joshua let him go. He hurtled towards the robot and began to spin like a bullet. He pierced straight through it's armour, causing it to simply stare down at the gaping hole, before it imploded.

"Hah...Useless heap of metal..."

As the robot vanished, the portal suddenly became active. The light around it was sucked in, as was all of the heroes. As they floated in the void which led to the Video Dimension, something went wrong. On the planet where they were going to arrive, it was destroyed by Dr Robotnik. Meaning...that anything could happen now...everything went white....

Joshua awoke in the middle of a large forest in the middle of nowhere. The sunlight shone down on him, causing him to feel slightly better. He looked around....

"Huh?! Seb?! Zac?! David?!" he yelled.

No reply. His voice echoed through the remainder of the trees.

"Remains of the trees...? Oh no..." Joshua muttered.

The entire forest had been burnt down, leaving nothing but ashes and dust. It blew around him. The dark scene made him
stagger back and trip over. He landed on the ground with a thud, only to hear someone softly crying. Adis.

"...Why...How did...this happen?! How could they do this to my home?!" she whispered to herself.

Joshua looked down at the weeping Adis and gently placed his hand on her shoulder. She turned around, tears
in her eyes, looking up at him with surprise.

"...."

"Adis. I know how you feel...I've felt the pain of losing my home and friends too...But...Crying isn't going to bring them back. We have to keep moving,
whoever did this could still be nearby. We have to go." Joshua said softly.

Adis got to her feet and wiped the tears from her eyes, before hugging Joshua softly.

"Uh...Adis...It's okay. I promised to make sure you didn't get hurt or get sad...I'm here with you."

Adis kept quite before whispering...

"Thank...you..."

======================

Chapter 5: Destruction.

Seb slowly awakened from his state of unconciousness. Everyone else was still out cold. After searching the Fire Wave, everyone was there...except Adis and Joshua.

"Hmmm...We must have been seperated. I wonder what happened..."

Seb got on top of the Fire Wave and looked around. His calm expression turned to anger when he saw...the entire planet had become a war zone. Robots and heroes alike
had fallen, blood and oil stained the dry, barren ground. Forests had been destroyed, rivers had dried up...oceans were polluted with toxic waste. Fires blazed, thunder rumbled and thunder shot down from the dark sky.

"This is terrible..." Seb muttered.

He searched around for any signs of life. Something was moving slowly...He leapt off the Fire Wave and raced towards the object or person. To his dismay, it was a seriously wounded rabbit with a gun in it's hands, bleeding badly. It's right ear was missing as well as part of his left leg.

"What happened here?" Seb asked.

The rabbit breathed in heavily and fell to the ground.

"Ugh...We...were...attacked...Dark...Robo..ts...and ...evil...dark..on..es...the..y..c..am.e...and...k il..led...us..all..." it groaned.

"Who was leading them?! Do you know?!" Seb asked loudly.

"Da...rk...Kn..ight...Th..The..." the rabbit fell silent and stopped moving.

Seb looked down and shook him gently.

"Hey! Hang in there! I'll get you to safety! Just hang on!" Seb yelled.

The rabbit's reply was coarse and soft...

"Ther...e...is..no...saf...ety...Our...planet...di. .mens..ion...is...doo..me..d..." it groaned, before he breathed his last.

"Dang it! He's gone. No pulse...or sign of life..."

Suddenly, a nearby series of robots came to life, their eyes flickering red. Determined to take Seb down with them. Drawing his axe, Seb simply
put on a angry glare and looked at his foes.

"Come. I stop you here!"

Seb span his axe in a full circle before slamming it down into the ground. Fire appeared from the cracks in the planet and began to
come together, creating a wall of flame, incinerating the robots. But they simply shed thier armour and a new set appeared. Seb was
taken by surprise. These robots were getting smarter!

[Destroy...]

Seb lunged at the nearest robot, before slamming it into the air with his axe. He leapt into the air after it, before charging up an aura of fire around his axe and
slamming it straight down into the robots, causing it to split clean in half. The others were below him, lasers ready.

Seeing this, he twirked his axe in front of him, turning his entire body into a large fireball which collided straight into
the ground, creating flame and small explosions around him. The robots continued to advanced, but were cut short as something
slammed down on the top of one's head. A staff with wings.

"Aisha!"

The young girl smiled, before creating a whirlwind which swept up the remaining robots, the wind tearing thier bodies apart until
there was nothing but pieces of metal scattered around them.
