	=== Chapter 1 ===		=== Chapter 1 ===

	'~~'Whack.'' Once again, Raven hit~~ the training dummy ~~with enough force that a real enemy would have hit~~ the ~~opposite wall~~. She was only fifteen ~~years old~~, ~~yet~~ the fierce combat training required of her made her stronger than many twice her age. For years, she ~~would spend~~ her days at school, and her nights on the training grounds~~. She wanted nothing more than~~ to be a ~~famed~~ Sol Guardian, like her idol Blaze ~~the Cat~~. ~~How could she ever rest if she wanted any chance of being like her?~~		Raven's fists pounded against the training dummy, each blow ringing out like thunder in the silent gym. She was only fifteen, but the fierce combat training required of her had made her stronger than many twice her age. For years, she had spent her days at school and her nights on the training grounds, driven by a burning desire to become a Sol Guardian like her idol Blaze.

	~~Every once in a while, she had~~ to ~~admit that it was nice to pop back over to Earth. It was quiet~~, ~~grounded~~. ~~Less exciting~~ in ~~some ways~~, ~~but uniquely comforting in others. Lest~~ she ~~forget~~, a ~~helpless little~~ fox ~~named Vultro also~~ lived on Earth. ~~There was no way that~~ she ~~was going~~ to ~~let him go more than~~ a ~~''few'' days without checking~~ on him.		But despite her dedication to her craft, Raven still struggled with the weight of her own emotions. She had few friends in this life, so she very much cherished the bond she had formed with Vultro, a young fox who lived on Earth. Whenever she returned to Earth, she made a point to check on him... even if she tried to pretend that all that "emotion" stuff was beneath her.

	~~Though she liked to act tough and pretend that all~~ that "~~emotion~~" ~~stuff didn't matter~~, ~~deep~~ down ~~she really valued the friendship she had with Vultro~~. ~~She didn't have many friends in this life. Friendship was what made~~ the ~~sleepless nights of training worth it.~~		When Vultro approached her with an idea that lit up his eyes like fireworks, Raven couldn't help but feel a flicker of excitement too. "I want to go to space!" Vultro exclaimed, bouncing up and down. "I want to build my own spaceship and explore the stars!"

	~~Vultro seemed unusually excited today as she strolled into his little cave~~. "~~Hey~~, ~~Vultro. What's up~~?" she said ~~as she sat on a large rock~~. "~~Well... I have an idea. A really cool idea." She braced herself for whatever he was about to reveal. "Hit me with it, bud." Vultro~~'s ~~wide and somewhat awkward smile grew. "I want to go to space!" Raven took a moment to process this statement. She cleared her throat. "Space? Like~~, ~~outer space?" Vultro nodded. "Yeah!" He scurried over to her side. "I want to go to space~~, ~~and I want to build my own spaceship too!" Despite wanting to roll her eyes, she just stared at Vultro and blinked~~. "Yeah... yeah, you should. Could be cool." She doubted if a thirteen-year-old could even draw a spaceship, let alone build one. Yet alone build a ''working'' one. But she would never shoot down something Vultro was this excited about, so she let it slide.		Raven raised an eyebrow, skeptical but intrigued. "Space, huh?" she said. "That's pretty ambitious, even for you, bud."

	~~"I'm gonna go~~ to Techtown, ~~I'm gonna~~ find an engineer, and ~~I'm going~~ to ~~do it~~." Raven ~~let out~~ a ~~chuckle~~. ~~"Sounds great." Vultro smiled. "Yeah! I'm headed there this afternoon!" Raven returned his~~ smile, something she was ~~trying to be better about~~.		But Vultro was undaunted. He talked excitedly about his plans to visit Techtown, find an engineer, and bring his dream to life. Raven listened with a mixture of amusement and concern, wondering if he was in over his head but unwilling to crush his spirit. She could only smile back, something she was working on doing more often.

	''That was three years ago'', Raven thought to herself. She could not believe that she was now sitting on the very ship Vultro had dreamed of making that day. Not only that, but the damn thing was hurdling through space without a single problem... at least so far.		''That was three years ago'', Raven thought to herself. She could not believe that she was now sitting on the very ship Vultro had dreamed of making that day. Not only that, but the damn thing was hurdling through space without a single problem... at least so far.

	"~~Alright guys~~. We should be arriving at Ethos within the hour!" Vultro said~~. Wreck sighed to himself. "Finally." Despite Vultro's giddiness, the voice was grating to~~ his ~~ears~~. ~~"Frankie," he mumbles as he turns~~ to ~~his partner, "''Now'' will you tell me what I'm doing here?" Frankie chuckles. "Just a bit longer, sweetie."~~ Wreck ~~rolls his eyes and leans~~ back in his chair, throwing his arms up behind his head.		"Alrighty. We should be arriving at Ethos within the hour!" Vultro said over his shoulder. Raven looked over to see Wreck leaning back in his chair, throwing his arms up behind his head. "Finally," he mumbles. Frankie, who is sitting next to him, pats him on the leg affectionately.

	Cyncatia is standing next to Vultro, looking out the front window of the ship. Her triangular ears twitched as she stared out into the vast emptiness. Finally, Vultro's words register with her. "Vultro, didn't you just say we're almost there? At Ethos?" Vultro looks down at the dashboard, only to look up again in concern. He thumps on one of the radar displays with his finger. "What the..."		Cyncatia is standing next to Vultro, looking out the front window of the ship. Her triangular cat ears twitched as she stared out into the vast emptiness. Finally, Vultro's words register with her. "Vultro, didn't you just say we're almost there? At Ethos?" Vultro looks down at the dashboard, only to look up again in concern. He thumps on one of the radar displays with his finger. "What the..."

	"What's going on?" she asks. Vultro points to the radar scanner. "The radar is saying Ethos is right there in front of us... but it's not. I looked away for a minute, now it's gone." Cyncatia stares at the radar for a moment. "How strange," she says. The ship begins to shake, and she looks back out the window. As if out of nowhere, the horizon is now completely filled by a strange-looking, green and brown planet. "Vultro!" she yells as a fireball begins to form around the ship.

	Raven, ~~ears perked, jumps~~ out of her ~~chair~~. "Vultro, how did you miss that giant planet? It's a ''planet''!" Vultro ~~is looking around frantically at his instruments~~. "It's not on the radar Raven, it wasn't even there a minute ago! Ask Cync!" Raven exchanged a concerned frown with Cync, who could only nod ~~silently~~. Raven calmly turned back to her seat, throwing down her bag.		Raven could feel her heart pounding in her chest as Vultro struggled to regain control of the ship, his hands flying over the controls. She leaps out of her seat and up to the cockpit. "Vultro, how did you miss that giant planet? It's a ''planet''!" Vultro continues to toggle switches in a vain attempt to regain control. "It's not on the radar Raven, it wasn't even there a minute ago! Ask Cync!" Raven exchanged a concerned frown with Cync, who could only nod. Raven calmly turned back to her seat, throwing down her bag and rummaging through it.

	~~She rummages around in the bag for a moment and looks up again.~~ "~~Look~~, ~~I have the Sol emeralds," she admits. "Tell me right now. Are~~ we ~~crashing~~?" Vultro continues to fiddle with the landing controls, trying to prepare the ship for a proper landing. "Vultro Zeridia!" she barks. "~~Tell. Me. Right. Now.~~ Are we ~~going to crash~~?" "Yes! I mean, probably!" he snaps back after a beat. "I can't get the landing sequence to activate!" he yells. ~~Vultro~~ shut ~~his~~ eyes, full of fear and regret for ~~bringing his friends~~ along ~~to die~~. ''I guess this is it...'' he thinks as ~~he awaits the inevitable~~.		"We're going to crash, aren't we?" Raven asked, her voice steady despite the panic rising inside her. Vultro continues to fiddle with the landing controls, trying to prepare the ship for a proper landing. "Vultro Zeridia!" she barks. "Are we crashing?" "Yes! I mean, probably!" he snaps back after a beat. "I can't get the landing sequence to activate!" he yells. Raven shut her eyes, full of fear and regret for being so stupid as to bring the Emeralds along. ''I guess this is it...'' she thinks as she dives back into her seat and straps in.

	"I have an idea," Cync says. She slowly transforms into a the form of a yellow blood hound, complete with floppy ears and a fancy looking utility belt. "Tracker," Vultro said with a smile. Cync returns the smile, answering in the voice of their old friend. "You bet!" She points her snout into the air and begins sniffing. After a moment, she points away from the building. “Yeah.

			=== Chapter 5 ===

			METAL RAVEN BACKSTORY HERE

			---

			Raven and Vultro appear in a bright flash, tumbling down through the tree tops until they hit the ground with a loud thud. They get back up, dusting themselves off. Vultro looks around, and smiles at Raven. “Wow... it actually worked! We escaped!” Their hands now free, Vultro jumps up to hug Raven. She returns the hug for a moment, quickly shaking her head. “Come on. Let’s find the others,” she says. Raven and Vultro make their way to the nearby cliff edge. Looking down, they see Cync and Frankie, who seem to be near the crash site.

			“Hey guys! Up here!” she yells at them. Frankie's ears perk up, looking over and smiling when she recognizes the voices. She leaps up into the air, flying over to them. “Vultro! Raven!" she said as she lowered her hands to them. They both grab on, and Frankie glides over to the crash site. "I’m so glad you guys are safe," she said as they landed. "Cync is okay, but Wreck went to try and find you. Um, Vultro—"

			“That's Wreck for you,” Vultro said, “Always getting into trouble.” “Vultro...” Frankie tries to interrupt. He continues. “Listen, guys. That wolf took the crystal back from me. If we can manage to take it again, maybe we can stop them!” "Frankie, where's Jenny?" Raven asked. Frankie takes Vultro’s hand. “I was trying to tell you. We don’t know,” she said. “Mist found us, and they got her... we tried to stop him.” Vultro frowns. “Great...”

			Suddenly, Frankie’s ears perk up. She hears a voice echo from far away. “Easy now, robo-freak! Hey, let me go!” “Wreck!!” Frankie yells. “Guys, grab on! Wreck sounds like he’s in trouble!” Raven and Vultro grab on to Frankie, who flies them towards Wreck's voice.

			Frankie lands in a small clearing, where Metal Raven has her arms around Wreck's neck. “Your connection with the Sol is strong, fox,” Metal Raven said. “Stronger than any Mobian I've ever seen.” Wreck breaks free of the hold, and steps back. “Sol? What are you talking about?" The robot ignored his question. "Wreck, isn't it?" Wreck tilted his head, suddenly recognizing the robot. "Hey wait... I know you! From the cave.” Metal Raven notices Frankie and the crew land nearby. Without hesitation, she leaps over to Frankie and grabs her by the arm.

			“If you won’t listen to me, maybe taking your girlfriend... again... will make you reconsider,” she said. “You put her down,” Wreck said. Raven turns and dashes towards Metal Raven, kicking her directly in the stomach. Metal Raven is knocked back, and let go of Frankie. Frankie turns and uppercuts Metal Raven’s jaw.

			Wreck goes in for a punch, but Metal Raven dodges and kicks him in the shins. He falls to the ground. Getting back up to his feet, he yells towards the crash site. “Cync, get over here! We need help!”

			Moments later, Cync glides through the bushes, in the form of a hawk. Metal Raven smirks, and disappears in a cyan flash. She appears in front of Cync, who tries to dodge but gets grabbed by the foot, and thrown to the ground. Metal Raven disappears, only to appear behind Frankie. Frankie notices and jumps up into the air, starting to fly. She lands on Metal Raven’s shoulders and begins covering her eyes. “Now’s your chance, everyone!” she yells.

			Once again, Metal Raven let out the ear-splitting mixture of a growl and a robotic screech. “Fools. Turns out I got your little friend after all.” Cync and Raven are running at her, but it’s too late. In a cyan flash she disappears, taking Frankie with her. “Frankie!” Wreck yells out. “We have to go after her!” Raven did not respond. She pauses to think. "I need that silver emerald. Maybe if we can find it, we can figure out what the hell is going on here." "But what about Frankie?" Wreck asked. "The more emeralds we have, the easier it might be to sense where the others are. And the easier it would be to defeat whoever these kidnappers are."

			"So you're saying we need to find your stupid emerald instead of saving Frankie?" Raven grabbed Wreck by the collar. "Wreck, I am not going to let anything happen to Frankie. Nothing. But we HAVE to find that emerald if we stand any chance of fighting back." She let go of Wreck, who was now glaring angrily at her. After a moment, he sighs in acceptance. "Alright. Where to?"

			They decide to make their way back to the crash site. Along the way, they notice a clearing that they had not seen before. "Wasn't the crash site right over here?" Vultro asked. Wreck shrugged. At the edge of the clearing, they notice a red hedgehog and a pink hedgehog, who appear to be standing over something. Raven grits her teeth, now on guard.

			“I can't believe we found a Sol Emerald!” the red hedgehog said. “You think the others are here too?” The pink hedgehog nodded her head. “Let’s keep searching. Someone or something had to have brought them here.”

			“Give me that Sol Emerald right now!” Raven roars at them. They jump and both turn around. “Wh--why should I?” asked the red hedgehog. “We need these for research on the Sol dimension. We found it fair and square.” Raven scoffed. “The Sol dimension...? I'm the guardian of the Sol dimension!"

			The pink hedgehog glances at Raven's belt and notices the green emerald. She pauses for a moment to think. "Say, I thought Blaze was the Sol guardian?" she asks innocently. She smirks as she looks back up at Raven.

			“First of all, Shimm didn't steal it,” she said, “he found it. Aaaand, we can loan it to you, if you help us locate the other emeralds. Deal?”

			The pink hedgehog reaches her hand out to shake. Raven gives a disapproving look to Vultro, but reluctantly shakes hands with her. “When we need it, you'll give it back,” the red hedgehog said. “Understood?”

			Raven ignores him, clearly not intending to hold up her end of the bargain. The red hedgehog hands over the silver Sol Emerald. Raven adds the stone to her belt, next to the green one she took from Vultro. "What I really need is my chest plate back," she said. "Metal Raven took it from me."

			“Who are you two anyways?” Cync finally asks. “I'm Shimmer the Hedgehog,” says the red hedgehog. “But you can call me Shimm.” The pink hedgehog smiles. “And I'm Penelope, or Penny! And we just made a deal with you, so now we're a part of your team!! Right?” Raven rolls her eyes. Cync waves at the two. “Um... cool. I'm Cync.”

			“Nice to meet you Cync!” said Penny. “I'm Vultro the Fox." Vultro shakes both of their hands. Penny giggles. “Hi Vultro!”

			“We've lost our friends, a bat named Frankie and a fox named Jenny, to a bunch of villains,” Vultro said. “We could really use your help.” Shimm nods. “I’ll help you guys, but only to get those emeralds. I got nothin' better to do anyways.” Penny elbows him. “Ow!” he says. She turns to Vultro. “Don’t worry Vultro, we’ll find your friends ''and'' the emeralds. Let’s do this!”

			"I have an idea," Cync says. She slowly transforms into a the form of a yellow blood hound, complete with floppy ears and a fancy looking utility belt. "Tracker," Vultro said with a smile. Cync returns the smile, answering in the voice of their old friend. "You bet." She points her snout into the air and begins sniffing. After a moment, she points away from the building. “Yeah. I definitely think I smell something that way.”

			Raven holds her head up and begins to sniff as well. “Well... I smell a fox, and that has to be Jenny. It’s coming from the direction of the building.” Cync crosses her arms. “Let’s split up,” Vultro says. “We can cover more ground that way.” Wreck could only chuckle. "Yeah, that's worked so well for us this far..." Vultro heads west towards the building, taking Wreck and Raven with him. Cync starts to head the opposite direction, leaving Shimm and Penny standing there. Shimm looks over to Penny, who shrugs. They decide to follow Cync, and head into the nearby bushes after her.

	Vultro transforms into the same violet white he first saw in the cave. He tries to wrestle the Shoten crystal out of Solidus' hand, but they are now equally matched. Vultro looks down at Raven, noticing she now is wearing Soldius' chest plate. “She has the chest plate!” Vultro said, looking down towards Cync. “Now’s our only chance!" he yells. He manages to yank himself free of the choke hold. He then kicks Solidus' hand, knocking the crystal out. Solidus turns to grab it, but it is snatched out of the air by a red albatross.

Both Vultro and Soldius stop glowing, losing their connection to the crystal.

	“I admire your determination!” Soldius yells loudly. He ~~turns~~ to ~~look at Raven~~. “It’s a shame all three of my ''children'' will have to die.” Raven’s eyebrows raise. “What is he talking about?” she says to Vultro. Solidus chuckles. “You know,” he nods. Raven clenches her fists. “My father was a grey wolf killed by Ix, you monster,” she says. “Your father,” said Solidus, “was a pathetic ~~fennec~~ fox who wanted nothing but to hide his precious children from each other.” Raven’s eyes are twitching with rage.		“I admire your determination!” Soldius yells loudly. He flicks his hand towards Cync, and the crystal is magically yanked from her hands. He catches the crystal, though he does not start to glow again. “It’s a shame all three of my ''children'' will have to die.” Raven’s eyebrows raise. “What is he talking about?” she says to Vultro.

	~~“Did~~ you ever wonder why he would disappear for weeks on end? He was a werewolf.

Vultro lands on the ground, speechless. "Raven, Jenny, Vultro. My children. Thanks to my teleportation of your ship to Eilaela, I finally have all of you right where I want you.”

Solidus ~~smirks~~. “You know it’s true.” Raven forcefully closes her eyes. Images of her father keep entering her mind. Him playing games with her. Teaching her to fight, how to defend herself.

We have the upper hand,” he says ~~reassuringly~~. He ~~steps back and grabs Jenny’s~~ hand. Raven ~~smiles~~, the first time she has done so in a long time. She takes it and brings it near the plate. It begins to glow, pulling itself in until it forcefully snaps into place in the very center with a loud clink. There is a bright flash. The chest plate begins to spark as the colors of the emeralds begin to course through her veins. Raven falls to her knees, wincing.		Vultro reaches out and touches her shoulder. “He’s desperate, playing with your emotions. We have the upper hand,” he says. "Do we?" Raven asks. He holds out his hand, revealing the Shoten crystal. "WHAT!?" Solidus yelled. He squeezed the apparent crystal in his hand, only for it to evaporate in a flash of light. Jenny reveals her hands, glowing with Chaos magic. "We do!" Jenny said. Raven smiled, the first time she has done so in a long time. She takes the crystal and brings it near the plate. "NO! IT CAN'T BE!" Soldius roared. It begins to glow, pulling itself in until it forcefully snaps into place in the very center with a loud clink. There is a bright flash. The chest plate begins to spark as the colors of the emeralds begin to course through her veins. Raven falls to her knees, wincing.

	“Raven!!” Vultro yells out. The energy is now coursing through her entire body, and she is barely able to take it. Slowly, ~~she~~ raises her head, and looks back up at Solidus. Her face is twitching. ~~“You…~~ will ~~never… be…~~ our father.” She transforms, taking on a blazing red aura and turning her fur a similar shade.		“Raven!!” Vultro yells out. The energy is now coursing through her entire body, and she is barely able to take it. "It's like the Sol Emeralds have been super charged!" Jenny said. Slowly, Raven raises her head, and looks back up at Solidus. Her face is twitching. “You... will never be... our father.” She transforms, taking on a blazing red aura and turning her fur a similar shade.

	Vultro’s eyes widen. “The Fuzion Form!” he says excitedly. Solidus freezes. “Nothing can destroy me...!” he says with a hint of uncertainty in his voice. “We’ll see about that.” Raven juts her hands out, and a rainbow-colored beam shoots into Vultro and Jenny. There is an explosion of light and energy, knocking up a cloud of dust. As the dust settles, Vultro and Jenny are now ~~flashing like a bright rainbow~~, their fur violet white.

There is an explosion of light and energy, knocking up a cloud of dust. As the dust settles, Vultro and Jenny are now glowing the same red aura, their fur violet white.

	Raven winces. “This—this hurts, Vultro! I don't know how long I can hold it.” “Don't worry, this shouldn't take long!” Vultro yells back. “Oh my god! Look at us, Vultro!” Jenny says. “Raven is channeling the Shoten crystal,” Vultro says. Jenny smiles. “What do we do now?” “Go straight for his chest!”		Raven winces. “This—this hurts, Vultro!

	Solidus snarls and looks over at Raven. He pulls out a large glowing dagger and turns to throw it at her.		Solidus snarls and looks over at Raven. He pulls out a large glowing dagger and turns to throw it at her.

	Raven's beam is moving toward the blade, but not nearly fast enough. Vultro lets go of Jenny and starts to run back, but it is too late. The beam disconnects from them and in an instant, time reverts back to normal. Solidus suddenly shatters as if made of glass, scattering into a million tiny shards. The ground explodes into a crater where the two had landed. Raven is hit directly in the stomach by the blade. There is an explosion of energy that forcefully ejects the crystals across the battlefield, knocking her onto her back. Her aura disappears.

	The energy blast shatters the ice spikes holding Metal Raven down. She gets up, head twitching, and reluctantly turns to run away.		The energy blast shatters the ice spikes holding Metal Raven down. She gets up, head twitching, and reluctantly turns to run away.

	“What do we do, guys?” Jenny asks. “Whatever you do, don't remove that blade,” Vultro says. “It'll only make the bleeding worse. Wreck.~~.. are~~ you okay?”		“What do we do, guys?” Jenny asks. “Whatever you do, don't remove that blade,” Vultro says. “It'll only make the bleeding worse." Frankie, who was knocked out of the air, sits up and dusts herself off. She notices Wreck also on the floor. "Wreck! Are you okay!?” she yells.

	Wreck ~~stands back~~ up. “I... I... when Raven was all powered up like that, I couldn't move. It felt like my insides were being ripped out.” Vultro's ponders this for a moment, when he suddenly remembers back to Wreck's earlier encounter with Metal Raven. ''“Your connection with the Sol is strong, fox. Stronger than any Mobian I've ever seen.”''		Wreck also sits up. “I... I... when Raven was all powered up like that, I couldn't move."

	Wreck turns around and sees Raven, passed out, the knife still embedded in her stomach. He nods his head slowly. “You're right, you're right. So what do I do?” Vultro goes over to Raven and ever so gently unhooks the charred and cracked chest plate from her. “Put this on. I’ll get the emeralds.”		Wreck turns around and sees Raven, passed out, the knife still embedded in her stomach. He nods his head slowly. “You're right, you're right.

	Wreck reluctantly puts on the chest plate, though it is quite hot and doesn’t fit right. He sees Vultro darting back and forth, picking up the gemstones that were scattered about. Vultro hands them to Wreck one by one, and he slots them into the chest plate. He begins to feel an unusual sensation coursing through his body, as if something was flowing through it in every direction. “I don’t know if I will be strong enough,” Wreck says.

	He darts back to Wreck. “If anyone besides Raven is strong enough, it’s you,” he says as he places the last emerald in Wreck’s hand. Wreck takes a deep breath and slots it in. Vultro grabs on to Raven’s hand, reaching out to Jenny with his other hand. Jenny grabs on, as does Cync and Frankie. Frankie reaches out to Wreck, and he grabs her hand too.

	Vultro darts back over to Wreck, holding ~~half of the~~ Shoten crystal. "It's ~~cracked~~, but... it might give you the boost you need." “Tch, yeah. Maybe a little too much of a boost. You saw what it did to Raven,” Wreck said. Frankie walks up to Wreck and turns his head towards her, smiling. “You can do it sweetie, I believe in you. You’re strong enough.” He pauses, and nods slowly. He grabs the cracked crystal and brings it towards its slot, and just like before it snaps forcefully into place. In a bright flash, it begins to spark. Wreck’s veins begin to glow, and he falls to his knees. “It’s... it’s so hot...” he says weakly.

	“Take it off, take it off!” Frankie yelled out. “Wait!” Vultro said. “Wreck, are you okay?” Wreck’s entire chest has become charred as the energy continues to course through him. His entire body is now glowing the colors of the emeralds. With great struggle, Wreck stops yelling and grits his teeth. ~~“Yes…~~ I’m okay. ~~What…~~ What do I do now.” Vulto’s eyes are wide. ”Just-- just picture where you want us to go and say the words, I guess!”		“Take it off, take it off!” Frankie yelled out. “Wait!” Vultro said. “Wreck, are you okay?” Wreck’s entire chest has become charred as the energy continues to course through him.

	Suddenly, silence. Thinking he must have failed again, Wreck opens his eyes. He instead realizes they are back on Mobius. He looks around, and everyone made it with him. He looks down at his arms and his fur is a glowing white, his feet hovering slightly above the ground. "Wreck has a Fuzion Form..." Vultro says in disbelief.
