He flies towards Vultro and grabs him by the throat, lifting him up into the air. Vultro stares into his eyes as he struggles to break free, feeling some strange sense of familiarity that he can’t place. There is the slightest hesitation from Solidus as they lock eyes. Vultro uses the opportunity to grab onto his hand, touching the Shoten crystal. "No--!" Solidus yells. | He flies towards Vultro and grabs him by the throat, lifting him up into the air.

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. "What?" he says in disbelief. It glides to the ground, transforming as it lands into the familiar form of Cync. "Got it," she said. | 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.

Both Vultro and Soldius stop glowing, losing their connection to the crystal. | ||
“I admire your determination!” Soldius yells loudly. He | “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. 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 fox who wanted nothing but to hide his precious children from each other.” Raven’s eyes are twitching with rage. | ||
"He was a wolf!" Raven yelled. “Hmph. Did you ever wonder why he would disappear for weeks on end?" Solidus smirked. "He was a werewolf. He had your mother convinced he was someone he was not, only to flee when he reverted to his so-called normal self. Ix was only there to help me destroy that ''pitiful'' part of me." 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.” | |||
Jenny | Jenny stood frozen, her hands behind her back. Raven glared back at Solidus, gritting her teeth. “That’s. Not. True,” she says. Solidus chuckles. “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. Him disappearing for no reason. And his face. His face! The exact face that is standing before her. How could she forget? | ||
Vultro reaches out and touches her shoulder | 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, | “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 | Vultro’s eyes widen. “The Fuzion Form!” he says excitedly.

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 | Raven winces. “This—this hurts, Vultro!

Jenny smiles. “What do we do now?” she asks. “Go straight for his chest!” | ||
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. | 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 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. | “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 | Wreck also sits up. “I... I... when Raven was all powered up like that, I couldn't move." He rubs his stomach. "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.”'' | ||
Vultro's eyes light up with excitement. “Wreck, that's it! Remember what Metal Raven said? About you having a connection with the Sol?” Wreck raises his eyebrows. “Huh...?” | Vultro's eyes light up with excitement. “Wreck, that's it! Remember what Metal Raven said?

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 reluctantly puts on the chest plate, though it is quite hot and doesn’t fit right.

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. | 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.

Vultro darts back over to Wreck, holding | Vultro darts back over to Wreck, holding a badly cracked Shoten crystal. "It's damaged, 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. | “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.

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!” | ||
Everyone holds hands again, and Frankie reaches out and grabs Wreck’s arm. Wreck focuses, and gets back onto his feet. | Everyone holds hands again, and Frankie reaches out and grabs Wreck’s arm. Wreck focuses, and gets back onto his feet. | ||

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. His eyes roll back, and he collapses. “Wreck!” Frankie yells out. She quickly bends down, unhooks the smoldering chest plate, and throws it to the side. | Suddenly, silence.
