Solidus looks towards Raven, laughing. “I admire your courage. It’s a shame all three of my children will have to die.” Raven’s eyebrows raise. “All three of us? My father was a grey wolf killed by Ix, you monster.” Raven 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. | |||
“Did you ever wonder why he would disappear for weeks on end? He was a werewolf. He had your mother convinced he was someone he was not, only to flee when he reverted back to his pitiful self. Ix was the only one capable of destroying that part of me while leaving my true self intact.” | |||
Vultro | Raven grits her teeth. “That’s. Not. True.” Solidus smirks. “You know it to be true. He had three different wives, and kept them all a secret from each other!” Vultro looks down towards Raven. “Raven… true or not, we have to defeat him! Stay focused!” | ||
Raven takes a deep breath, and juts her hands forward. The seven Sol Emeralds start to glow. She transforms, taking on a blazing red aura and turning her fur a similar shade. Solidus laughs maniacally. | |||
“What are you going to do now? I can’t be harmed by any physical threats!” | |||
Suddenly, a rainbow-colored beam shoots from her hands 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 a bright rainbow color, their veins glowing. | |||
Raven winces. “This really hurts, Vultro. I don't know how long I can hold it!” | |||
Vultro: Don't worry, this shouldn't take long! | Vultro: Don't worry, this shouldn't take long! | ||

As the two foxes start to move towards Solidus, time appears to slow to a near halt around them. Solidus has his hand outstretched, his blade seeming to defy gravity as it floats halfway in between him and RavenCool. RavenCool's energy beam is moving at a snail's pace toward them, and it appears as if she is very slowly turning the beam towards the blade. Wreck is for some reason on his knees, an expression of pain on his face. Vultro notices an | As the two foxes start to move towards Solidus, time appears to slow to a near halt around them.

Wreck is for some reason on his knees, an expression of pain on his face. Vultro notices an after image of them being left behind as they fly through the air, realizing they must be traveling at an incredible speed. | ||
Vultro | Vultro looks at Jenny, and sees she is intensely focused, her eyes locked ahead of her. He turns back forward. As they reach Solidus’ chest, it appears that they pass right through him, as others had before. Vultro and Jenny land on the ground behind Solidus, as the dirt ever so slowly begins to explode upwards from the impact. Vultro turns around to see how he possibly could have dodged the blow. As he turns to face him, however, he notices a hole in Solidus's chest, as a series of cracks beginning to very slowly web out into his body. There are shards suspended in the air behind him, slowly moving towards them. | ||
RavenCool's beam is moving toward the blade, but not nearly fast enough. Vultro lets go of Jenny and starts to run towards the blade, 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. Before anyone can react, RavenCool is hit directly in the stomach by the blade. | RavenCool's beam is moving toward the blade, but not nearly fast enough.

Her aura disappears. | ||

Vultro: Well | Vultro: Well... perhaps you are somehow connected to the Sol dimension, like Raven is? It would explain why you felt pain at the same time as her. | ||

Jenny grabs on, as does Lightning, Shift, Terry, Tracker, and Frankie. Frankie reaches out to Wreck, and he grabs her hand too. | ||

But he's not sure what it is. He focuses hard, and pictures the rolling hills of South Island back on Mobius. He opens his eyes one more time to look at Frankie, and smiles. Closing his eyes again, he yells out the words at the top of his lungs. | ||
Wreck: DIVINE... SOL! | Wreck: DIVINE... SOL! | ||
Suddenly, silence. Thinking he must have | 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. Wreck walks over to Raven, who is still out unconscious. Vultro is still clutching on to her, trying to get her to wake up when he notices Wreck standing there. | ||
Vultro: HA! I told you so Wreck! I told you so! | |||
Wreck: That was the coolest thing I've ever done. | |||
Vultro: It's not over yet… we have to do something about Raven! | |||
A familiar, smug voice comes from behind them. "Did'ja forget about us?" Vultro looks over towards the voice. Shimmer and Penelope are standing a few feet away from the crew, smirking. "Shimm? Penny? What are you doing here?" Vultro asks. "How did you know where we were going?" | |||
"We saw the commotion you guys were causing, so we tracked you here when you teleported," Penny explained. She walks over to Raven and inspects the wound. | |||
"I think I can use my power to remove the blade without her bleeding out,” Penny said. "But I have no way to heal her once I do." | |||
"Well maybe I can cauterize the wound using pyrokinesis. It might keep her alive long enough to get help," Shimm said. He kneels next to Raven, his hands beginning to smoke. | |||
... | Penny nods, and closes her eyes. She lays one of her hands flat, and then swiftly motions up with the other. Like magic, the blade flies straight upwards from Raven's body. She clenches her fist, and the wound closes. Shimm then takes his glowing hands and places them onto the wound for a second. The two then both step back. | ||
"That should just about do it," Penny said. Shimm nods, and turns to Vultro, smiling. “Shimm? Doing something nice? And smiling?” Vultro asks. “Yeah, well… Turns out you guys aren’t so bad after all,” Shimm says. “Let’s get Raven to someone that can take care of her.” | |||
Shimm and Wreck pick Raven up, and they all start walking through the grassy plains. | |||
