Act 1
Chapter 1: Arrival

-HEROES HQ- Outside of the HQ, Markus had set up a cook out for everyone and their guests. Food was made for everyone on the team and more, epecially for those with certian tastes. A grey koala enters the room, looking at the... whatever Markus made. Half of her left ear was torn off from an explosion, and is wearing a black suit with orange stripes. On her right hand, she wears a prosethetic where here arm was also blown off from an explosion. "What's up here?" Charlot spoke with an Australian accent.

"That's a dish that scans space." said Markus handing her a plate. "Its for commuicatons to the Ark and other space stations. With it we could try and have construction up in space for a secondary HQ"

"Ah, I see." Charlot said.

'Hopefully....everything's as quiet as its telling me it is"

"Alright, mate." Charlot said, and leaves the room

Charlot walks back into her room, thinking about a lot of things.

-With the Villians-
Little did he know, that in the deepest part of space, something dark and dangerous was approaching the planet, and it had plans of shaking the foundations of it, and for all of it's people. .

"Heh... So it looks like nothing is happening. Might as well reactivate my H.A.D.E.S cannon." A yellow lynx said as he, along with a wolf, were in a control room, the Lynx typing away on a holographic computer screen and keyboard, in an orbital satellite that looked to be space debris. But as we all know, looks can be deceiving.

"When will the cannon be operational again?" The wolf asked the Lynx.

"I would have to say in about twenty four hours unless we want this station to be detected by scanners of some sort." The Lynx replied to the wolf's question.

Just as he said that, something large and round is seeing heading towards the planet. Around it was a purple light that made it look like a comet.

"The fuck is that!" Mars and Saren shouted as they saw the object heading towards the planet.

"Might as well trace its trajectory and recover it before anyone else does. "Mase said.

"yeah... Agreed" Saren said as he traced the trajectory and where it was going to land.

The object smashes through the weapon that was spoken of before damaging it greatly before falling into the Mobian Sea

"Fucking hell! I'm activating the satellite cannon's auto repair sequence! In the meantime.. Both of us are going to find that meteor and it looks like it landed in the Mobian Sea." Saren said, pissed off as the meteor damaged his hades cannon.

"Alright then." Mars stated excitedly as he and Saren went to the hangar and got inside a sleek spaceship with the appearance of a submarine fused together with a TIE interceptor and took off towards the Mobian Sea in pursuit of the meteor.

In the middle of the sea, the purple glow seems to be growing bigger.....and bigger...as something, a dome, begins to rise.

"Um.. Saren, why are we heading towards the dome thingy?" Mars asked in a slightly panicked tone.

"That thing crashed into my fucking space cannon! Somebody must of been piloting it. I'm going to get access to the dome and find out why! Maybe even kill the asshole piloting the rock if the answer proves unsatisfactory to me." Saren said in an angry tone as he set the ship into hover mode and attempted communications with what he believed to be a ship. "Whoever is inside that dome better have a good reason for almost destroying my satellite cannon! I was going to use it on Soleanna later today!" Saren said through a comms device.

As soon as the Dome Rose up, it started to light up inside showing a Castle Like city inside,

"What the fuck!?" Mars and Saren said at the same time. "This is so fucked up... Maybe we should explore it a bit once the barrier goes down.

The dome opens up a small doorway and for them to walk on. On the ither side there was a rather dark looking male in green armor.

Mars and Saren disembark from their ship and walk through the doorway. "Holy shit this place is huge." Mars said.

"Yep, but that doesn't excuse poor piloting skills. They hit my space cannon when I was about to blow up a thorn in my side!" Saren angrily stated.

"On the contrary, your puny weapon was just in the way of our route. As we caluated months ago" said the figure who had just appeared behind them

"Au contraire, that satellite cannon has been there for more than it took you to calculate your space route, and now you cost me the best way to annihalate a group of pests! So unless you have a way to eliminate these pests, whatever your little plan is, it will fail and whoever is the head honcho of this place will be looking forward to a not so nice form of eviction." Saren warned in an annoyed tone of voice.

"Hmmmmmm, Im detecting a small trace of darkness inside of this life form. Come with me all of you, if you want to see our Empress, and take a tour of our castle town." he said putting his arms behind his back, sliding his way back into the dome*

"Might as well go see this empress of yours. Maybe I'll finally get an explanation for someone running into my space satellite." Saren said.. "Mars... Where did you get that generator and why are you eating it?" Saren asked, weirded out by Mars' eating habits.

"I got it from a storage room in the ship, and i'm eating it because I'm hungry and it generates electricity." Mars stated plainly.

As he stood on the road, it moved both him and Saren across many routes and junctions. "As you can see, our empire/capital is filled with moving sidewalks, making traveling by foot go by smoother, now, what is you name sir?"

"My name is Saren... The one with the strange eating habits is Mars" Saren spoke, introducing himself and Mars. "So who is this empress, and why is she on this dust ball of a planet."

"We are almost there, dont ruin your trousers now, boy" he said as they were moved to the Palace gates

"Why would I do that? I'm positive that this empress of your isn't that scary compared to what I have seen." Saren said in a genuinely curious tone.

"You mean like that time where you strangled someone with a turkey leg? Speaking of which... How the fuck is that even possible?" Mars asked.

"... That, brother dear is a secret." Saren said in a playful tone. "Just because I have a space weapon, and I'm a homicidal asshole doesn't mean I can't have fun."

"Here we are, the throne room. Now I do ask you all, dont try any funny business towards our Empress...the last one who did it....he was given a job that suits his foolishness.. " he said guiding them to her. "M'lady.....these fine aliens are the people who owned that eyesore of a object they had in our flight path"

"So this is tho one who ruined my chance to blow a certain group of nuisances straight down to hell along with that annoying city?...and my gun is not an eyesore, it's a doomsday weapon!" Saren said in an exasperated tone.

"You would do well to bow down you furry lifeform." she said sitting in the darkness.

Saren bows, with a strange grin on his face. "Humph, I may hate bowing. But you seem different from the rest of the herd."

"Um, Saren. Why are you bowing? I thought you hated bowing to anyone." Mars asked.

"Correction, I hate bowing down to those who are weak and think to hold power. This one is different. I can taste the malevolence radiating from her, and it's delicious." Saren chuckled out as he was feeding off of Shiori's emotions. "So just kneel Mars

"I want to see a demonstration of his power before I kneel." Mars said.

The shadoy figure rose from her throne and pulled a glove on her left hand. A White light emmited from it and shot Saren, covering him in a White Bubble. She then flung him into the wall and the to the celing and lastly onto the floor.

"If slamming people into stuff is all you can do.. I'm hardly impressed at a show of basic telekinesis." Mars stated, not really caring that Saren was slammed into a wall.

"Ya know... Normally when one wants you to demonstrate your power, wouldn't it make sense to do it on the one who actually asked instead of the one who bowed?" Saren said as he stood up and popped his back, relocated his entire arm and popped all of his toes and his knee caps back into place. "That felt better, I've been waiting for someone to get the kink out of my back."

"That is just a sample of my Infinity Gauntlet."

"Alright Mars, let's just get down to business. Why were we allowed entrance into this place and what is your purpose here? Hopefully it's not to destroy this planet because I called dibs on that." Saren asked, genuinely curious as he summoned his scythe and used it to make Mars bow by slamming the blunt side of it on top of his head. Keeping it there as to not have Mars offend the shadowed figure by not bowing.

"The fuck was that for you asshole!" Mars shouted at Saren.

"I dunno, maybe so you don't offend the ruler of this place by not bowing and possibly getting us both killed!" Saren hissed at Mars.

"Because I am in need of heralds, and from the readings we've received, you and your posse will serve that position well"

"Might as well accept, because I highly doubt that this was a request and neither of us feel like dying yet." Saren said.

"Now there is an issue about a group of annoying pests that are stationed in a city called Soleanna. So... Got any plans on how to deal with them seeing as our original plan was tossed out the window thanks to this place hitting his satellite cannon?" Mars asked. Pointing to Saren when he mentioned the satellite cannon

"That is what I need you for".

"Saren... Does that mean we get to lead the biggest pains in our asses on a wild goose chase? Under threat of destroying major cities and causing immense havoc!?" Mars said excitedly.

"Mars... Yes it does, and I know the perfect way to drive that so called 'HEROES squad' on a wild goose chase that will allow our nameless empress/employer/bringer of an early Christmas to do what ever it is that she came here to do and piss them off! Can anyone say mass murder spree!" Saren said with equal enthusiasm as Mars. "Yep, we love our jobs." Both Saren and Mars said simultaneously in glee.

"Hmmmmmm~ Well there will be a spot for the two of you in my new empire once this planet's defences are taken care of. As for now, you should keep you destruction to a minimum. My armies and people love wrecking new worlds." she said smirking. "And...by the way...my name is Shiori, remember it well."

Chapter 2: HEROES Unite
It was midnight of the New Year and the party was heating up. Not a single threat was detected at all.

Markus: *sitting down he watches as his team kicks back and relaxes during the festivities.*

Charlot, out of her terasuit wearing everyday clothes relaxes on a chair.

Sam is running around doing anything fun he can find.

Ravoka was sitting on a barstool, facing the rest of the party while leaning one elbow on the bar. He already downed around half a glass of Caribou Lou (it's 151 mixed with Malibu rum and pineapple juice for those who don't know) (also just pretend he's over the legal age) as it was New Years and all.

"Hey, Sam. What're you doin'?" Charlot asked.

As the guests and other Heroes were eating and enjoying themselves, Markus thought it might be best to check on some things before relaxing himself. He entered the transport chute, which took him to the tower in the HQ

When Markus went inside of the tower he did a area scan of the ocean surrounding Soleana and the Island.

Markus: So far so good, no disturbances.....which....actually sound kinda questionable...

Suddenly a logo of a grinning cat with flames in his eyes appeared on every screen around the world, after a few seconds Saren's face appeared on it.

Saren: "Hello? Is this thing on!?... Oh goody!" Saren said before he cleared his throat. "Greetings, people of this pathetic dustball of a planet, my name is Saren and I have come to deliver an ultimatum and a demonstration of sorts! You see, I'm demanding access to G.U.N information network, supply manifest and the location of every single bloody base they have! Otherwise I will systematically wipe out the most densley populated cities around this pathetic planet! How you ask? I'm not telling you, it would ruin the surprise. In the meantime, turn your attention to the screen please." Saren laughed out as he proceeded to rickroll the entire world for five minutes.

After the five minutes Saren's face reappeared.

"How was that assholes! This threat slash global rickrolling was brought to you by the malevolent mind of Saren Arcturias and Mars the Lightning Wolf!!!.... HAIL HYDRA!!" Saren shouted out, his howling laughter rang out as he flipped the world off on camera, saying a famous movie one liner as well while making sure to leave the connection open to the HEROES squad.

Charlot: Who was he?

Markus: Bastard........ *he said gripping his fists.* He's trying to immtate Eggman. Flashy bastard! *he said rushing over to the others.*

Ravoka: Jesus christ! *smashes his glass on the floor* What's a wolf gotta do nowadays to enjoy a good Caribou on New Years?! *starts searching for the rest of the team*

Saren: Imitate Eggman? No, unlike him I'm not after global conquest, and unlike him I'm giving you guys an easy way to prevent more lives from being lost, good luck and I dearly pray on behalf of the people that you make the right decision... Otherwise, I'll just keep on doing this until I get what I want." Saren said with a tone drenched with mock sympathy.

"Well this is not good" Sam said very causally.

"It sure isn't." Charlot said. "We got to stop him somehow!"

"What's the plan?" Sam asked as he was looking for other members of HEROES

"Hah! Good luck with that babe!" Saren shouted, laughing as if Charlot had told the funniest joke. "You! Stop me!?... Oh god that is so funny! I've seen baby lizards more intimidating than any of you are!"

Markus cuts the commuincations with him off by putting up a massive fire wall. "I.....I dont know what to do everyone..." he said sitting down. "All of those people died..and more will join them.."

"And you're just going to let him continue to swallow up the population of this planet?" Charlot said.

"No. That's what we're here for." he said looking up. "But I cant just give into his demands. We need to gather everyone here who isnt busy with missions"

Charlot nods.

Sam agreed. "Right so us three and Rav are here, is there anyone else?" asked Sam.

"I think Verta and Aqua are around here." Charlot looks around.

"I dont know where Peppers is...." he said holding his ring looking worried about his girlfriend. "I hope......" he said stopping his sentence short.

Charlot lays a hand on Markus' shoulder. "I feel the same, Markus. My fiance died seconds after we married..." Charlot said.

"Someone try to communicate with her. I fear that Saren is still in our lines.....Charlot, Sam come with me....I think we need to talk about something."

"Your damn right I am... Also, an hour has passed and you know what that means?... Asshole time!" Saren said as he put on earmuffs and played a crappy animation of him holding peppermint hostage and with equally crappy drawings of the others with 'X's over their eyes, picking out choice words that he would use to describe them. "Markus and peppermint, the romance part three, when Saren kills you all!" Saren mocks them as he laughs at his poor jokes.

Ravoka finally catches up with Markus, Charlot and Sam. "Alright, let me keep this short and sweet. Who's a** do we need to kick to stop this?" he says in a slightly angered tone.

"Go to your stations and trace the call" he said as if he was full of angst and grit. He looked at Saren with pure hatered in his eyes. If Peppermint was captured and killed. There was no telling what he'd do, as shown now with his blue fur glowing and sparkling with elecricity. "Saren.....if she breaths no more... I swear I'll toss your body into the lowest pits of hell and trap you there my self!"

"Oooh anger! I like that!... THE CHASE IS ON BITCHES!! COME AND GET SOME!! Also, Mars does the lightning thing better then you, and Peppermint... Well I think I might just pay her a visit!" Saren laughed out as a dark aura emerged from his body. "Also, I would relish the chance of you actually killing me but we all know that your too much of a sanctimonious bitch to do so, so keep your empty threats to yourself, otherwise I might actually mail you peppermints severed head once I find her and get what I want from her." Saren chuckled before he closed the communication and proceeded to rig his location with enough explosives to make 'overkill' an understatement. "Might as well leave... Mars... We return to Shiori's castle... I want to introduce a new friend I made to her." Saren chuckled out as he prepared to tell his empress slash employer the good news.

"DAMMIT!" Markus yelled out as his electicity grew more violent.

"LET'S GO...!" Charlot runs to her battle station and puts on her Terasuit.

"Wait." he said stopping Charlot. "I think.....there's more to this." he said taking deep breaths to calm down. "At any rate, you and another person should go and evacuate people from Soleana and to make sure the Princess is alive."

"Saren, are you sure this is wise... We have no allies other than that empress you seem to have a fanatical worship for, and Markus seems to be very protective." Mars asked with some worry in his tone.

"Yeah, Mars... No matter what, I won't abandon you." Saren said as they finished rigging the location and enetered into the spaceship, taking off and heading to Shiori's palace as the comms hub they were at was wiped from existence in a multitude of explosions.

"I'll go with Charlot. Since I'm the fastest I can evacuate the people at a quicker rate" Sam suggested.

"Alright." Charlot said. "What about you guys?"

"I'll stay here and think of some options we have.....from the looks of it Saren is planning something big...too big for him..But never  the less we dont have time to stand around. HEROES GO!"

Charlot rushes out.

Sam goes off and starts evacuating citizens.

"Do you know where we're going, Sam?" Charlot said as they ran... somewhere.

"Watch it asshole! Otherwise peppermint might meet an unexpected and gruesome end.. Kinda like that one other chick I met, she was a fun one. This is a pre recorded message that I took the liberty of activating when I stole information from your databases pigfuckers!" Saren shouted out as he was seen laughing out. "I'm no idiot! I'm a paranoid motherfucker who has the lives of many others at the palm of my hands! by my fucking self you stupid little shits! Face it, I outwitted you all!" Saren ranted out in his pre recorded message. "Come find me bitches!"

"I guess we should get everyone out of the city and somewhere safe" Sam said a bit unsure.

"We won't be able to get to Soleanna fast enough on foot. We need to use a vehicle." Charlot said.

"Speak for yourself! I'll meet you there" Sam said with a cocky attitude as he runs off to Soleanna.

Charlot watches Sam run off with an annoyed expression on her face. She then runs to the underground hangar and jumps into the cockpit of the H5 Titan. She closes the canopy and presses a button on the hexagonal steering wheel that starts the loud enginge. She sets the GPS route to Soleanna. Charlot steps on the pedal, and 2 fans at the back of the car start up and blasts off.

Ravoka was still at HQ, since he hadn't been given any orders yet. He activated his ring so he could communicate with Xeno, who was at their home in Chun Nan with Pyrrhos, Luciana and Flip.

"Ravoka to Xeno, do you copy?". "Xeno to Ravoka, copying.". "Did you see what happened?". "I'm almost positive the whole world saw it. I'm on my way over there as we speak. How's the rest of the team going?". " Charlot and Sam are headed to Soleanna to evacuate everyone, Markus is at HQ, Pepper might have been captured and we still haven't heard from Aqua or Verta." "Wow. I can only imagine how Mark is feeling right now.". "Yeah, he's kinda angry with that fact. Of course, Saren doesn't give a shit.". "Typical. How did I convince myself to be one of those people?". "I'm sure we can figure that out another time. Just meet me at Soleanna. We'll need help evacuating everyone.". "Got it. I'll be over in a few minutes. Over and out." "I'll see you there. Over and out."

And with that, Ravoka started running to Soleanna while Xeno whipped up a plane and flew over.

Charlot arrives at Soleanna driving through a solid border wall to get inside the levelled city. She stops the car and stands up from the cockpit. "Hello to everybody left alive!" Charlot yelled for their attention. "This city is no longer safe! All of you need to evacuate NOW and QUICKLY!"

Ravoka arrive's not-to-far behind, followed by Xeno in a construct helicopter. The two start helping with the evacuation process, with Xeno contructing a megaphone to ensure nobody is left behind.

As the others are out doing their duties Markus is working to the BONE to try and figure out where Saren is. While working on something....huge.

Saren activates a little virus he placed onto the HEROES mainframe, knowing that it wouldn't really do any damage but it would give Markus the coordinates to the comms hub that he blew up when he left. Infact, Saren was hoping that they would follow the coordinates too the blown up comms hub so he could proceed to mock them all some more as he prepared to set G.U.N's robotic arsenal to self destruct.

By now Sam and the others have evacuated most of Soleanna. "We're almost done!"

"Okay, that's awesome!" Charlot said.

Markus finds the virus and fully destroys it. While he did so, he did indeed find out where it was sent. "Guys, how goes things in the Kingdom?"

"We got just about everyone out the city!" Charlot said

"What now boss?" Sam asked Markus.

"Well, we were given a small virus by the jerk-off himself, possibly trying to bait us out" he said shaking his head.

Saren is taking a rest stop twelve feet above Soleanna, making sure his ship is cloaked before he jumps out in order to inspect the chaos. Mars is inside the ship, waiting just incase Saren gets into trouble.

Chapter 3: Precursor to Invasion
Markus sent out a secret message to the other HEROES who havent reported back yet to be on the lookout fo anything dangerous. After wards he returns to the computers and tells those who are in Soleana to send the people over to the evacuation building for transportation.

Saren admired his handiwork for a bit before deciding to head back to the ship. "Might as well cause a little ruckus in order to meet these idiots face to face." Saren mumbled to himself as he sent out a pulse of dark energy meant to alert the HEROES to his exact position, which is on the outskirts of Soleanna with his ship still cloaked and Mars inside the cockpit.

"Ah!" Ravoka quietly exclaimed, placing his hand on the side of his forehead. "What's wrong?" Xeno asked in concern. "I sensed a pulse. Must have been dark energy. That can only mean one thing.." Ravoka replied as he started walking to the outskirts of town. "Wait, where are you going? Ravoka?! Are you even listening to me?!" Xeno yelled as Ravoka continued walking.

"What's going on?! Where's Rav going?" asked a very confused Sam.

"I dont know, but there's only one way to find out..." Xeno replies as he starts following Ravoka to wherever he's going.

Saren stayed silent as he sent out an even larger dark pulse, hoping to meet Markus face to face.

Sam ditches what he is doing to follow Xeno.

Charlot follows Sam's lead.

Ravoka feels the pusle again, but shakes it off as if it was nothing as he continues walking. After another half minute, he finally finds the center of the pulse: Saren. Upon sight, Ravoka almost immediately charges up a sphere of dark energy and throws it in Saren's direction.

As Xeno, Charlot, and Sam see's Ravoka's actions, Xeno practically drags Sam down to the ground behind the ruins.

After transporting the civilians and people of Soleana onto the Island, Markus tries to communicate with the HEROES again. "Is everything going ok on your end? Sam? Rav?"

"Umm things are getting kinda crazy down here. Saren is up to it again." Sam replied.

"Hmmmm. Hold him off for a little while longer. I'll join up with you all in a moment!" Markus had turned around and went over to the hangar and pressed a button on the east side of it which revealed an elevaor. "Its time"

"So... You think that you can beat me!? I have killed more people than I can count! The first time me and Markus met involved a fight that I won and a city like this one being reduced to nothing! You cannot stop me! No one can stop the darkness!" Saren shouted out in monologue before he roared out in fury. "Dark gladius!" A large roman warrior with a shield and a roman gladius seemed to form around Saren.

"You think you have this all figured out, huh? if you would've just shut the fuck up for two minutes, you would've known you're not the only one with a grasp of this power! What we have here is a classic case of having to fight fire with fire... so this would be a perfect oppurtunity to show you what TRUE darkness is like!" Ravoka shouted back, showing no signs of fear. His skin started turning black, as a purple aura surrounding slowly faded to black. "And you can be DAMN SURE THAT OPPURTUNITY IS NOW!!!" he yelled, as the ground beneath him started crumbling, as if a miniature explosion just occured. His transformation was complete.

"What the... RAV?! ARE YOU INSANE?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS COULD DO TO YOU?!" Xeno shouted at the top of his lungs, but to no avail. Ravoka floated up to the Dark Gladius' height and unsheathed the claws embedded in his knuckles. He was ready.

Saren just grinned out with bloodlust in his eyes as he shrunk down the roman soldier in to an orb, which he launched at the assembled group. "Come on... Try harder.. Try harder! Let me savor combat!" Saren shouted as he summoned his scythe and axe and with a flourish, threw his scythe in a spinning arc at Ravoka with a nearly invisible tendril of darkness guiding it. Nearly invisible because the tendril itself is about the same thickness as one hair folicle.

In the blink of an eye, Ravoka simply knocked away the scythe with his bare hand. He floated over to Saren and launched a flurry of slashes so fast that the human eye can't keep up. After ten seconds of this, Ravoka kicks back Saren and starts charging up a blast aimed directly at Saren.

Saren was startled by Ravoka batting his scythe away, to the point where his ghostly abilities activated by themselves, causing him to phase through Ravoka's punches and kicks while his scythe dispersed into nothing. "You think to defeat me!? ME!? I think not!" Saren shouted once he managed to regain his physical form, an image of a demonic black lizard with thickened scales hardened through warfare and bloody combat appeared behind Saren as he started taking on traits from the image. Such as the black, thickened scales appearing on his body and an even more hateful presence emanating from him.

A strain on his body caused Ravoka to fall down to one knee for a brief second. All his built-up emotion inside of him could be seen in his eyes. "This... is barely... THE BEGINNING!!!" Ravoka shouted in rage and hatred as he fired his blast at directly at Saren.

"Markus, where are you?! Rav could lose it any moment now!!!" Xeno worried, speaking into his ring.

Saren just opened his armored hand and just absorbed Ravoka's dark energy blast. Ravoka's hatred fueling Saren's power. "Looks like the foot's on the other table you pathetic excuse for a dark manipulator." Saren said with a calm tone with a hint of anger at the spectacle that is laughable in his eyes.

Realising that there was almost nothing he could do to damage Saren, Ravoka stopped the blast and powered out of his Dark form, collapsing to the ground. With Ravoka's whole aresonal rendered almost useless, Xeno decided to step in. "Enjoy plasma to the face, bitch!" He constructed his signature plasma cannon and fired at Saren from behind.

Saren just smiled, knowing that he was at the location where he told Mars to wait with the cloaked ship. "Enjoy lightning to the face, Dumb fuck!" He shouted in a cheery manner.

"Fuck you asshole!" Mars shouted as he uncloaked the ship and fired the two ZX-M1G2 Electron Mass Accelerator cannons located at the front of the ship, which were designed to take out enemy personnel by exciting the ambient electrons in the air and firing them as a massive surge of electricity, directly at Xeno.

Suddenly a large looking mech comes in and blocks the surge, as if it was taking it all in.

"Mars... Pilot the ship out of that things range!" Saren order on comms as he summons a chain hook made of pure darkness and fires it at the entrance ramp as the ship prepares to escape.

"Got it!" Mars responded back as he piloted the ship away from the robot, making sure to keep Saren out of the robot's grip as he escapes.

"Buff you asshole!" said the voice of Markus that was coming from the robot. He fires a missile at the duo hoping that it would hit.

"Piss off you bitch!" Saren shouted as he fired various bolts of darkness at the missile, holding on to the grappling hook as he did so while Mars made their escape.

"Engage! Flight Mode!" he said making the mech run up on the land and then transform into a flying robot with the shape of a Power Rangers Zord like machine.

Saren just smirked as he focused on taking out the engines with bolts of darkness, knowing that one needs thrust in order to fly.

"Not on my watch!" Sam yelled as he charged at Saren hoping go distract him long enough so Markus could get Mars.

"Stupid..." Saren smirked as he used the darkness of his grappling hook as a medium to transport to the cockpit as Mars closed the entrance ramp to the ship.

"Saren.. It's about time you got here.. Now you can pilot this ship." Mars said as he swapped seats so saren could pilot the ship.

"Eat this assholes!" Saren said as he pressed a button and two machine gun turrets popped out, each aimed at the robot, and started firing .50 MG Explosive rounds at the robot. "Fuck you!"

"This isn't good!" Sam said worried.

A wall blocked the path of the rounds. A green wall.

"Oh no you dont!" Xeno exclaimed as he constructed a jetpack up to the ship and placed his hand on it. After a few seconds, he let go and dropped down to the ground.

"Piss off you annoying bitch!" Saren shouts as he jerks the ship to make a sharp turn right.

"Annoying bug... I hope our empress can help us" Mars mumbled to himself. "Saren, try and keep this ship steady while I get rid of this bug." Mars said.

Saren just set the ship on auto pilot as he followed Mars as he prepared to go topside, "Try not to damage the ship too much." Saren said while mars just smirked in response.

note from alphonse: I got Charlot following Sam. Now what?

(Im going to quickly end the chapter soon, before we all get too confused)

Markus flies in and one by one gathers his friends up, putting them in cockpits all round the flying mech. "Get in guys!"

"Okay" says Sam as he gets in.

Saren and Mars, after putting on their M.A.G boots, climbed up to the top of the ship and stood on it. Waiting for what ever move Markus might pull from that robot of his. "What pest you are." Saren started saying. "Poking us left and right." Mars finished what Saren was saying. "We'll make sure you experience the same pain and trouble you've caused us." They both said in unison, as a way to mock the assembled HEROES squad.

And...Charlot gets in, I guess?

BGM: I'm My Own Master Now

Suddenly a rather large serpent like ship starts to rise up from the water, swallowing up Saren and his Ship to protect them.

Saren and Mars high fived as they used their respective element manipulation skills in order to form two giant hands made of darkness and lightning, then they manipulated the hands in order to give Markus and the rest of the HEROES squad a pair of gigantic middle fingers as the ship they were on was swallowed up by the serpent ship. "Suck on it you dumbasses!" Mars and Saren's mocking voices could be heard along with their laughter, only subsiding a few seconds after they were swallowed up along with Saren's ship.

Charlot didnt seem to be affected because she does not have natural hands. "Now what?" She said.

Markus saw the massive ship go deep into the ocean, as to where he couldnt see it on radar anymore. "I..... I *sigh* I guess we go back to base..." and with that, markus carried himself and his friends back to HEROES HQ

Chapter 3a: More Issues
(This is a HEROES only Chapter, as to help people catch up and to introduce another plot point. The Villians Side of the Chapter will be called Chapther 3b)

With Saren and Mars being taken away by what appeared to be a benifactor of theirs, Markus had to carry his team back to the base and lock up his Mech. To everyone, this was new. Why did he hide it from them for so long, how powerful was it? Everyone was tired, and drained. But they had alot of work to do, for the end of the night, they would find at least some answers as to what the hell just happened.

Charlot basically just sits down, thinking about a lot of shit.

Markus: *pacing* the project was a sucess..... *pacing* but  Saren got away...and who's ship was that...

Sam stretches "I dunno but the situation doesn't look so good..."

"I honestly dont know what's going on, but I'm going to find out. Sam, I need your help with the scanner."

"Okay" Sam replies as he heads towards the scanner.

"Guys, wait. I don't think we'll be needing that. I should be able to track it from here" said Xeno, as his pupils glared yellow and close his eyes.

"i'm sensing their mana from here." pointing at the ship's position on a holographic map in the center of the room. "We'll need to act soon as we can. I can only grip onto it for so long."

"Ooooo pretty..." Sam attempts touching the hologram.

Charlot slaps Sam's hand with her prosthetic arm.

Sam steps back from the hologram while rubbing his now sore hand. (XD)

"We dont do a thing." said Markus who finally sat down in his leader's chair. "Xeno, whatever you do, track them. A ship that large should have a place to land to refuel. Sam, Charlot; I need you two to check on the Eurisheans in the Onyx Tip of the Island, they lost most of their home to these men, and they need to be told that things are being delt with."

"A'ight, Markus!" Charlot salutes.

"Got it!" Sam gets ready to head off.

"Let's do this." Charlot switches to her Terasuit and heads to the Onyx Tip.

"Meet you there" Sam runs off to the Onyx tip.

"I wouldnt think you'd need your Terasuit for just dealing with a few worried people...."

"Just in case." Charlot said, and goes to her destination.

At the Onyx Tip......

"Right so where are the guys we need to calm down?" Sam says as he stands with his arms crossed.

"...Only one way to find out." Charlot presses a random button on the console.

"What did the button do?" Sam asked.

"I guess it... did that." Charlot looks over to what just happened.
 * the button activates a bridge that leads to a port, where on it it says. "Skyline to Angel Island"

Chapter 3b: Creeps in the Deep
(This is a Villians only Chapter as to help people catch up to the plot, while the HEROES get introduced to a new plotpoint. This is also to help the heroes prepare for Act 2 of the RP)

The large Serpent Ship that had now dove into the bottom of the Mobian Sea was on it's way back to where it came from. Inside, there were beings of many races who wore the same outfit. Its disctription: tight black and purple jumpsuits with silver belt buckles and hoods that had a circular shape on it's mouth.

A group of these people helped Saren and his team with his ship as they directed them to their temporary room.

Saren and Mars were laughing as they were led to their rooms, more specifically about what they did to HEROES.

"Praise be the empress, she has the coolest stuff. Plus she gave me an early christmas!" Saren stated in between laughs.

"Yeah, I can see why you like her. She's like a dream come true for us! A fucking wakeup call to this planet!" Mars laughed out also.

"Im glad that my appearance here pleases you, Saren and Mars." said the person Mars was referring to. "Now, report to me in the left eye of the ship. I have something I want to show you."

"Got it." Both Saren and Mars stated as they proceeded to head towards the left eye of the ship, with Saren idly wondering if he should set his ship in a random location just in case someone would have put some sort of tracking device on it when he wasn't looking and Mars wondering just what plan their newfound 'empress' might have.

"I have been waiting for you Saren, Mars." said the Empress who was still hiding in the shadows. "I'm very happy to inform you that we have done some intel on your enemies and have decided to hit them last. As for why I called you both here." she said standing up. "It is time for you to see the body of your ruler"

Saren and Mars both stood at attention, waiting to see what their empress looked like.

As she walked into the light, she had straps that were attached to some heeled sandales. She looked humanoid, with long elf like ears. Her skin was very tan, and her hair was a light gray. It was long and braided to the side with what looked like to be a crown stuffed inside of her hair on the left of her head. She had large breasts, and not much of a caboose, but it stuck out. Her long dress revealed much of her legs, as her top was opened toped. Her nose was sharp as were her eyes, that were gold. Her lips were a greyish purple as she licked her lips seeing her partners. "Am I not what you expected gentlemen?"

"You look both regally imposing and beautiful empress, that's really all I can say due to lack of words." Saren answered with complete honesty on his face while Mars nodded in agreement with Saren, not trusting his voice to accurately vocalize his opinion.

"Well then, I hope you ment that, because I want to hold a contest for the two of you. You both will gain a piece of my army to create your own forces. I will send the two of you out on this planet to find any or all power source that you can. As well as take over many of the capitals without harming any people or damaging any of the cities. The one that can do this....will rule by my side, as my husband, or partner~"

"It'll be just like what Mars and I used to do. Minus the lack of destruction or the gamble. Your army has cloaking and shapeshifting technology right?" Saren asked, already formulating a plan on how to win, involving a hadron collider, assassinations and having some of shiori's troops take the place of certain leaders. "It will be just like last time, only difference is that Markus or anyone else won't stop me. " Saren said in a whimsical tone that turned into spite and loathing at the mention of Markus.

Mars looked at Saren with slight concern evident on his face. "Saren... Don't do anything rash. Their deaths will come." Mars thought to himself.

"Hmmmmm we do have said technology, but as of recently..this planet's technology seems to have disabled all but 5 of our appearance changing devices. But Saren Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaarling, and you too my Darrrrrrrrrrrrrrrling Mars, you can do whatever you can to take control of these places for my rule." She handed them two maps, each of them had Spagonia, Chun-Nan and Shamar marked off.

Saren and Mars took the maps and looked at them before they looked at each other. "Hm, we always seem to work best together Mars but this is a kinda sorta a competition, so the first one to complete their objectives at one of the cities gets the second one. Agreed?" Saren asked Mars.

"Agreed." Mars said before they walked to their ships.

Shiori walked over to the ships and sent 50 of her troops on each of her ships. You two have 50 each from 100 men. Use them wisely."

Saren and Mars gave their indications that they heard her words as Saren headed on his ship while mars hopped in one of the ships used by shiori's troops.

As they docked thier ships. The Serpant opened it's tail to let them both out. "Good Luck my two warriors~ Because the loser will be bait for those interloupers..."

"Wait... Marriage!?.. I don't think that's something I should deal with right now... Hm.. Yeah i'm gonna throw it." Mars thought to himself as the troop transport headed to chun-nan.

"Marriage.. With an insanely cruel woman.. Dream come true for me, but I should be in the clear, Mars would throw this competition because he doesn't like the prospect of getting married." Saren thought to himself as he headed towards chun-nan and he activated a few charges on his vessel that would detonate when Saren pressed a remote detonator he has on him.

Chapter 4a: HEROES in the Sky
With the Onyx Tip of the Island opening it's path to the sky, it starts to open up box cars that had loads of space in them.

Charlot lifts her shoulders while looking at Sam. "Are we supposed to...?"

"I dunno?" Sam randomly shouted. "Should we call Markus?"

"I guess." Charlot said.

Markus was working on his secret weapon for the HEROES to use when he gets a call from Sam. "Did you take care of the people yet?"

"Ummm, not yet. Do we take the cars to Angel Island?" Sam asked.

"Yes...yes.... just apply the ermmhm..ye- Oh, yeah take them to Knux"

"Ok, let's go Charlot." Ends call with Markus. "So do you know who 'Knux' is?" Sam asked.

"Nope." Charlot said. "But... I guess we'll find out soon enough."

"All righty then". Sam gets into the car.

Charlot vaults inside the car.

The car starts and goes off to Angel Island.

Chapter 4b: Saren World Adventure
"Well now, looks like I arrived at chun-nan... So did Mars!" Saren said looking at Mars troop transport and laughing as the army disembarked. "Call another ship, i'm blowing up my ship because something feels wrong." Saren said to a random soldier who grinted and followed his order. "Everyone else, blend in. I want five others to accompany me." Saren said as five of shiori's soldiers started following him as he headed towards the location of chun-nan's leader.

Mars was silent as he ordered his detachment of soldiers to perform recon. Secretly planning to fake his death in order to get out of the mess Saren had gotten the both of them into.

"Let the fun.... begin!" Saren shouted as he noticed he was three quarters of the way to the location of chun-nan's leader. "Soon, I will conquer this city and plunder it dry."

Four hours later, Saren had take out chun-nan's leadership and replaced it with someone who would follow Saren's demands while being discreet. He also silently handed mars the detonator and told him that this will help you in your endeavors. He then boarded a troop transport and headed to the city of Spagonia, with Mars following suit.

The flight to Spagonia wasn't really an interesting one, with Saren and Mars deciding to play it safe should anything suspicious happen. Soon after, they had arrived at spagonia and repeated the same process of capturing the city and stealing Spagonia's energy supply.

Surprisingly enough, the actual process of conquering Spagonia didn't take as long as Saren thought it would, as evidenced by his pleased smirk and the fact that the two cities he visited don't look trashed in the least. "Hm, I took over the two cities and stole the necessary energy supplies from them.. That means I'm winning." Saren mumbled to himself as he and the ship Mars is supposedly on headed towards the final destination. "So far, it's been smooth sailing.." Saren started to say before the ship Mars was supposedly on was engulfed in a plume of fire before it broke apart and Saren assumed Mars was in the ship when it exploded."Mars.. Committed suicide?" Saren said in terrified disbelief as he had started to break down and silently weep until he had arrived at Shamar.

Saren had arrived at Shamar, though something was off with him. He seemed to be more frenzied and less calm, and he started muttering to himself, as if talking to voices in his own head. If one were to listen in they would hear the name "Mars" along with the word "Brother". It was clear that Mars' seeming death had affected Saren's very psyche. "I.. Want this city conquered." Saren said as the troops, along with Mars' regiment followed his orders and cut off all communications, like he did at the last two cities, before going to take Shamar's power supply. Saren however searched for Shamar's ruling officials and quickly killed him in his own home before destroying the body, he then had one of his troops tell the people about the new change in leadership before contacting Shiori in order to notify her that the deed is done.

Saren contacted shiori. "I have successfully conquered the cities of Shamar, Spagonia and Chun-Nan. Their energy supplies are also in the cargo ship. However, Mars died thanks to the ship he was in exploding..." Saren told Shiori with a calm tone that betrayed the madness welling up inside of his head. "I will find the ones responsible, and I will kill them slowly and painfully." Saren promised with maddened glee.

"Oh, in that case, the marriage can wait...how about this.. as an engagement gift, bring me the 7 Power Souces that lead my people here, and together, we will find who did this to your friend!" she said with a evil smirk.

"Alright... Does that mean I can raise hell again?" Saren asked in what sounded like a hopeful tone before a thought popped up in his head. "But what are these 7 Power sources anyway?"

"My sources say that they are the Chaos Emeralds......I think one is on that floating Island. I want you to capture whatever is on there."

"The only emerald on that floating island would be the Master emerald. A rock that is more powerful than the chaos emeralds, or so the rumors say. But taking that emerald would be so much fun." Saren said with a grin as he steered the ship towards angel island.

(Note: I'm going under the logic that something more powerful than the chaos emeralds would be bound to have rumors spread about.)

Chapter 5: Angel Island Assault
Knuckles: *sitting in front of the road that appeared on the Island with the Master Emerald in hand.*

The hum of a lone ship's engines could be heard as Saren finally arrived on Angel island, a few miles away from the M.E shrine.

Knuckles: That isn't the HEROES's evacuation car...... *he said standing up*

"So... This is where the Master Emerald is..." Saren said with a dark look on his face as he stared at knuckles, arriving faster than normal because he shadow travelled towards the M.E by tracking it's immense power. "At least the island itself looks pleasant.... Now.. Hand over the emerald or I will personally take it from your cold, dead corpse." Saren threatened Knuckles, excited at the possibility of carrying out his threat.

The car appears and Charlot jumps out of it, aiming her grapple hook at Saren. (so.... this is it, right?)

Saren turns his head and rolls to the at the sound of the car before immediately returning fire with a few dark pulses. (yeah)

Charlot barely misses the pulses, rolling over to her right.

"Die..." Saren simply said as he rushed towards her while summoning his scythe in a reverse grip and launching what appears to be three claw like slashes made of darkness at Charlot.

(so basically, saren hits charlot?)

(I left it vague so that you could decide wether it hits or not.)

Charlot rolls to her left, barely missing the slashes.

Sam jumps out of the car "Well it looks like it's time to fight this guy agian." He said as if it were nothing.

Knuckles stood there wondering just what was going on. When he saw the car had stopped he went inside to start it back up. "Hold on everyone, just a few more miles to go!"

"Got it" Sam yelled.

Knuckles and the car left the area leaving the combatants to thier scuffle

Saren just stayed silent as his hands glowed with dark energy, before making a come hither motion. "You couldn't stop me in Soleanna when I nearly destroyed that city, you won't be able to stop me now when I tear this island apart amd rip the Master Emerald from his corpses!" Saren shouted out before launching two more bolts of dark energy, this time adding a bit more force to them.

Charlot couldn't react fast enough to the dark energy bolts and was thrown back, hitting the car.

Saren just silently walked towards charlot, his scythe in his hand as he prepared to sever the arm cannon. "...... Vengeance, will be served."

Charlot tries to get her grappling hook to work. The light on it turns green, and then uses it to grapple Saren's bottom jaw.

Saren saw this and panicked, struggling with all his might before an unearthly scream tore out from his throat, his bottom jaw lay next to him as he was bleeding profusely. Saren looked at Charlot in a rage before grabbing his jaw and attempting to slam it into her cranium and knock her out after a few hits.

Charlot falls unconscious.

Saren kicks her for good measure before melting into the shadows in pursuit of knuckles and the M.E.

Sam quickly runs up to Charlot and tries to wake her up. "This is bad! But I gotta stop Saren quickly before he gets to the car". Sam started to follow Saren. "Get back here!" Sam yelled as he caught up to Saren. "Hey stop and fight me!" He said hoping to stall him.

Saren just looked at Sam with one of his most menacing stares. "I took down that bitch in a robot suit with my own jaw bone, dealt with dark using wolf and that plasma using bitch.. You won't be able to do shit to me!" Saren shouted as Sam's own shadow silently started forming tendrils to restrain him as saren would continue in search of the M.E. "I know where the M.E is... I will not fail... Even if it means killing him."

"Ooooooh my this is not good" Sam thought to himself. "Iiiiiimmmmm just gonna quickly wake Charlot, then I'll be back!" Sam shouts as he runs off to Charlot.

Sam reaches Charlot and keeps on poking her until she wakes.

Charlot's healthy supply bar seems to be rebooting. Her eyes suddenly open. "Sheldon?" Charlot said.

"Who's Sheldon?" Sam asked. "Never mind that we got a villain to stop!"

"Right!" Charlot gets back up and reloads her grappling gun. She uses her grappling hook to swing from column to column at a quick speed, gaining on Saren.

Saren caught up to knuckles and this time he decided to forgo banter and just attempted to attack knuckles from behind in order to knock him out, derail the car and hopefully get the Master Emerald.

"You'd fight me here? In a car with innocent people? Who are you?!" he demanded.

"You speak as if I give a rats ass about them... Now I'd suggest handing over the Master emerald... Otherwise I'll just derail this car and take the emerald from your corpse." Saren said in a gurgled voice after he forcibly attached his lower jaw to speak.

Knuckles cracked his neck as a responce. "Funny, nobody's come up to steal this thing in years. The first person who comes up here is a maniac. Tell me, why do you want it? To power some device? Or to just crack it?"

"Oh wow.. Why use it to power some sort of device when I could use it's power to augment my own..." Saren lied in response to knuckles question. "Now... I'd suggest you hand it over unless you want to have the blood of all these people on your hands." Saren threatened as he willed the shadows of the innocents in the transport to start spawning tendrils that will painfully wrap around them to the point where they would be screaming at the top of their lungs.

Charlot, who is standing on top of a stone column, grapples the shit out of the shadows, destroying them.

Saren visibly snarled before firing off two consecutive blasts of dark energy at Charlot in the hopes of them hitting her. "Annoying girl.."

Charlot jumps off of the column, which got destroyed by the blasts, landing roughly on the ground, taking a bit of damage. She gets back up and aims her grappling hook towards Saren. "I'll grapple your balls off!"

Saren just grinned as he activated his phase ability. Making sure to keep in mind the five minute time limit for the ability as a whole. "Not only are you weak and pathetic, but your accuracy is complete crap!" Saren mocked.

(How I count this ability is that each post involving Saren's phase ability would equal 30 seconds in RP time. So it'd be 10 posts before his ability automatically shuts down, correct my math if i'm wrong.)

"Really?" Charlot just laughs at his statement. She pulls the trigger on her grappling hook, only to find out that it's recharging.

Saren stepped out of the grappling hook's way before willing Charlot's own shadow to launch spikes at her back in an attempt to pull a surprise attack. "Yep." Saren said with a grin on his face.

Charlot was confused at what was happening to her own shadow.

Charlot's shadow started dancing wierdly before needles made of her own shadow started to poke out of it, giving a clear indication that her shadow is about to launch thin but sharp needles at her back, this would be easy to dodge due to the clear indication that was given by the shadow.

Charlot moves quickly out of the way of her shadow.

Saren smiled as he cancelled his phase ability and grabbed her grappling hook. "Wanna know something fun about grappling hooks?" Saren asked with an oddly cheery smile on his face.

Charlot shook her head, a bit scared.

"Well too bad!" Saren laughed as he let go of the grappling hook before he used the shadow of the grappling hook to sever the grappling hook in the same manner of a pair of scissors cutting through a thin sheet of paper.

Charlot gasps in shock. "Crap!"

Saren just laughed and flipped her off using both of his hands. "Fuuuuuuck yoouuuuuu Chaaaaarrlooooot!" He said in a mocking manner similar to what a certain south park character did before his bottom jaw started to fall off and he felt light headed. "''Shit!.. Need to get the Master Emerald and return to Shiori before I bleed out!" ''Saren shouted inside his head in a panicked tone.

Sam charges in at speed too fast for anyone to react, however with little to no plan. "I'm here now!" Sam yelled as he charged into Saren at high speeds.

Saren just smirked and reactivated his phasing ability, only able to use it for three minutes and thirty seconds.

(I think there were only 3 posts by me that involved his phasing ability.)

Sam skidded to a halt. "Wah!? Oh no, uhhhh CHARLOT WHAT DO I DO????" Sam yelled mindlessly, not sure on what he could do.

"Don't die!" Charlot yelled, having no ideas.

Saren chuckled at Sam's expression before unphasing and attempting to kick him off the monorail. "Stupid rabbit."

Sam barely dodged Saren's kick. "Hey! While I may not be the smartest, I am the fastest so hitting me might be a struggle" Sam commented with a smirk.

Saren just grinned as he willed the shadows of the civilians to strangle them. "I would waste time with you... But I have an emerald to deliver."

"Meh, normal people aren't really hard to avoid" Sam said to himself. "Charlot, any ideas on how we can stop them without massively hurting them?"

"I don't know." Charlot said. "My grappling hook's destroyed!"

"Call for backup maybe? The normal people aren't really a threat I think" Sam said casually. "Maybe we can just go around them?"

Markus was on his way in his new armor, watching the events take fold in his helmet. "I have to hurry!"

Charlot tries to call Markus via her terasuit microphone. "Markus, we need more backup!"

Saren just grins as he walks towards knuckles with his lower jaw in his hands. "Now give me the MASTER EMERALD!" Saren shouts after he temporarily reattached his jaw.

Knuckles spat on his face, making shure blood was on it. "H-heh.....Up...your as-"

Saren just remained blank as he wiped the spit and blood off of his face, his left eye started twitching as the blood vessels in and around his eyes became visible, an indicator as to just how angry he was, he then willed Knuckles own shadow to spawn tendrils in an attempt to restrain him as he used his own dark energy to create a shadow construct in the form of a serrated dagger and he detached his lower jawbone and held it in a tight grip as he walked towards Knuckles with the intent on torturing him so he'd talk and because of the shit he was put through in his efforts to find the Master Emerald. His face also a gory mess with blood, both coagulated and fresh, spattered every where from his upper mouth and torn cheeks to his neck. Blood also soaked his fur, staining it with a crimson red hue. "GRRRAUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!" He roared out, another sigh as to how frustrated he was.

Knuckles was knocked out due to the pain. He only had a smile on his face.

Saren got even more frustrated but he remembered something, he was able to track down knuckles by tracking the M.E's incalculable energy levels, so what's to say that Saren couldn't do so again, saren smirked before left to go find the Master Emerald after kicking knuckle's unconscious body off of the moving vehicle.

Charlot looks to Sam. "Sam, you gotta try and distract Saren somehow!"

"Right, I'll go now" Sam said as he ran off.

Meanwhile, Saren was tracking down the M.E, using it's energy signature as a homing beacon of sorts. Allowing him to trace the emerald while in the shadows. After a couple minutes of searching Saren had found what he was looking for.

"Finally!" Saren shouted after he put his jaw back on. "Now I can leave this damned island!" Saren shouted again as he willed shadow tendrils to grab onto the emerald and drag it into his shadow where it would be stored until he got back to Shiori.

"NOO! Stop!" Sam said as he skidded to a stop.

While Sam does his thing, Charlot tries to put her grappling hook back together, but apparently fails time and time again.

Saren just ignored Sam as his shadow tendrils finally finished dragging the M.E into his shadow. Once the task was finished he chuckled darkly for a few seconds, then burst out into full blown maniacal laughter as he jumped off the moving vehicle, his bottom jaw in hand, and started to make his way back to his ship by shadow travel.

"Oh... whoops" Sam said to himself. "That didn't go too well".

Charlot just facepalmed.

Saren got back to the ship he arrived on angel island at and took the M.E out of his shadow once he got inside and set the ship on auto pilot with the destination set for Shiori's own dragon ship. He then activated comms and contacted Shiori, his adrenaline starting to wear off.

" I... Got.. The Master... Emerald and currently on.... my way to your... Ship...."

Saren said, now starting to succumb to his injuries and blood loss.

"If you.. Have a transporter on your transport... Vessels... Now.. Might be........ A..... Great time..... To use... It......" Saren said before finally collapsing with a loud thud.

(He's not dead, just in critical condition.)

Charlot tried to catch up with the ship but it was too fast. Charlot panted out of breath as she slowly came to a halt. "No!" She said.

"Soooooo... What now?" Sam muttered.

Markus arrived only to see the ship leave with the Master Emerald. Luckily, due to technology, the Island wont fall. "I came here too late. what's the status of the civilians?"
