Infinite: No matter how I look at it, I can't feel but be amazed... The soul prism that binds souls.
Sonic: The Ruby's ability to hold souls even after death and my ability store memories in the ruby gave me the idea. The day albatross died i understood how easily a life can be lost.
Caliburn: with this you won't have to worry about your family and friends dying in your absence. Truly a amazing artifact.
Sonic: Just a few tweaks here and there and... We are done. Let's go meet them.
Sonic warps directly outside the meeting room and walks in through the door. The room is like a conference hall with all founding members of the blades except those on missions sitting in their seats and technos is sitting with Mavin opposite Sonic's seat.
Sonic: Hope you didn't have to wait a lot. Let's get right to the point.*sits* I have a announcement to make and our friend here wants to negotiate with us.
Technos: I will be frank and not hide it but the citrons and espers alongside any being affiliated with them or connected have long been treated as outcasts or mere tools by almost everyplace except the federation Territory.
Dynomo: That is nothing new to us, prejudice is almost ingrained in most nobles of the empire or politicians of the alliance.
Technos: But there is something that has never been made public. The reason why the citrons and espers lost to nations was not because we were weaker but... Sonic or should I say king have something that is related to that.
Sonic instantly realised what technos meant.
Sonic: the emerald, they used that to neutralize the powers of citrons and espers.
Technos: Correct. In the past there were tales of an alliance between many strong races across the galaxy to fight against a foreign race that used supernatural powers, the animaloids were one of them and possessed power that matches what Sonic describes as his.
Sonic: I see.. I understand it now... The highest.
Dynomo: Highest?
Sonic: Beings who wield laws of reality themselves as their weapons, each born with their own law predestined at birth. The lack of chaos energy and the empire possessing it all makes sense now.
Technos: Can you explain it a little better?
Rex: Ye we understood all the highest beings and stuff but what is it about lack of chaos energy?
Sonic: The highest themselves have a fatal weakness, they have no chaos energy in their bodies and can't produce them but they can manipulate the existing energy to their wishes... Your ancestors sealed away the galaxy's chaos energy and removed any chance of future generations inheriting their powers because they feared the highest.
Infinite emerges from behind Sonic with the ruby in his hand.
Infinite: It looks like we are in middle of crisis then. We can't connect the worlds without chaos energy and the highest can't attack in lack of chaos energy.. we are in tie from both sides.
Technos through taken aback at appearance of infinite calms down at the lack of reaction from others.
Sonic: We have no option then... Wait!, Technos what were the beings who sieged the galaxy described as?
Technos: They looked to be from random races with black eyes with bloody pupils and dark blood flowing down them.
Sonic: Hahahaaa, it seems there is still hope. It was the fallen faction that attacked and not the guardians.
Technos: Is there a difference?
Infinite: A big one actually, the fallen are highest that are best described as living embodiment of evil, they are demons who wish to have the world in their hands and will go to any length for them... The guardians however can be described as the angels that oppose the fallen, through both are highest but the angels are no evil or good but rather neutral and have quite a few worlds they saved from the fallens. There is another one but we currently have no idea of their stance.
Sonic: The moment I came here i remember killing 45 of those fallens so, it should quite easy to negotiate with the neutral faction.
Technos: You killed... 45 of them? I don't even know what to say anymore.
Sonic: So let's get right to business, the fallens are probably still receiving after their recent loss and guardians will be the ones who will arrive first so there is minimal risk. I have decided that we will raid the empire's base soon and I want all of you to be ready for it.*puts the prism on the table* this will be our lifeline for the mission.
Dynomo: What is it?
Sonic: A safety measure, everybody will bind themselves to it and if because of any reason, someone dies then we will be able to revive them through they would have restart from stage 1 again. The moment all of us gather back will be the day we make way to the empire. Until then focus on your training and preparations, that was everything we can leave now.
One by one everyone left until Only Sonic and technos were left to themselves.
Technos: I didn't expect someone to kill 45 of them all alone.
Sonic: and i didn't expect a guardian highest to make his appearance in this world.
Technos: *chuckles* You saw right through me. I am quite intrigued by world you belong to now. How did you even find me out anyway?
Sonic: You have no biological heart and I can't see your thoughts. This is not your body is it?
Technos's voice changes into a somewhat deeper and wise voice.
???: Amusing.. you are correct again, this child is my apostle that follows me. He can hear us but if I leave his body there is a chance I will die from lack of sustainment... I will introduce myself, the first elder and current leader of the citron and the guardian highest of citron race, Technioum
