No turning back. Where had he gone wrong? NO! Ekyt hit himself in the head. “I'm tired of feeling sorry for myself. I'm tired of being bent to the will of others. It's never been about who I <i>was</i> it's about who I become. And starting now, that's gonna be someone else.” Ekyt knew two people who could help him, though he hated to ask. Heck, he hated having to ask <i>anyone</i> for help. But he couldn't put it off anymore. He stood up so suddenly, that Tails, who had been following him, flew forward, right into his path. “Huh? Tails?” Ekyt helped him up. “What are you doing here.” “Ekyt, I felt. Me and Amy. You shouldn't have lost that fight. I'm going back, but this is from Locke. He says to open it only when you have a clear mind.” “Thanks.” Ekyt responded. “No, thank you for what you've done for me.” Tails flew back toward the island. Ekyt decided to read the note later.

Linda stood, stunned, in the referee's area. Had she really done that? She knew Ekyt should have won. Instead, she herself, had raised Staph's arm. And Ekyt left? She knew he was a man of his word, but to just leave? It wasn't like him. Then again, it wasn't like her to do something she knew was wrong. She turned to Staph. “Fine. I did it. Now let them go!” Staph smiled cruelly. “All in due time. For now, I have more for you to do…”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

“You want us to what?” Shadow and Tiffany (Shadowthe_Hedgehog), his sister, said in unison. “I'm tired of caring. I have an idea. If you both chaos blast me at the same time, I might get enough power to be an “ultimate life form”, even if it's for a short time.” “And if it doesn't work?” Shadow asked. “Then I'm in for a world of hurt.” “Fine.” Tiffany agreed. “Let us know when.” Ekyt nodded. “I'll be right back.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Ekyt tossed off his old clothes. The shirt, the shoes, the socks, the pants. The coat was harder to get rid of. He decided he could be an ultimate life form with it. He donned a red shirt, decorated with black slashes like his mask. He didn't have that anymore, it belonged to Linda. He pulled on black pants, already torn. His shoes were red and black, again similar to his mask. He stepped back out to Tiffany and Shadow. “Do it.” He said quietly. He tossed them each an emerald. Shadow made one last effort to reason with him. “Being an ultimate life form is lonely. Just look at me. You'll be part of an elite breed, if it works. Which it might not.” “Just do it Shadow. I've had the tragedy, the pain, just like you. But I've lost my girl twice. Yours is gone and won't belong to anyone else, while the love of my life is in the hands of my enemy. It's more painful than anything anyone could do to me.” Tiffany was touched, in a way. “Let's do it Shadow. On three.” One…(Ekyt bowed his head) Two… (The memories came flooding back…THREE (he accepted the pain.

The two hedgehog's watched as the red blasts struck the human, burning him. He was down to one knee. But then he got up as the burns started to fade. He glowed red from the insurgence of energy, but that was temporary. Shadow took a good look at him.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
He was changed.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Tiffany looked too, not believing that a far-fetched plan like that could have worked. Suddenly Ekyt smiled. “Shadow, let me have a pair of shoes like yours…”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

The three blasted at top speed. Shadow couldn't help but wonder what the strange look was for. The it hit him. “That look was pain, wasn't it? You remembered everything.” Shadow shouted, while skating. Ekyt kept up with both of them. “That's about it. But more than that. Those attacks took the caring out of me. The only thing I feel is anger.” “And what are you going to do with this anger?” Tiffany asked. She glanced at her brother Shadow, who smiled knowingly. “What I'm going to do…” Ekyt said, a malicious smile playing across his lips “…Is get revenge!” “This I gotta see.” Tiffany said. “Me too.”

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Ekyt got back up on the island, managing to stop the red glowing. He was confronted by the Chaotix. His old friends.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
<i>Old</i> Friends.

Espio spoke up “Look, we know you're upset, but you can't be back here. Your suspension isn't long and…HEY!” Ekyt punched him in the face. Charmy started to attack, but Ekyt sent him sailing in mid-flight. He didn't wait for an attack from vector. He used chaos control to get behind him and throw him by the tail. That left Mighty. For his part, Mighty grabbed Ekyt. “I know you're angry, but this isn't right.” “By you? I'm not here to fight you or the rest of them, but if you get in my way…” Ekyt smiled “Chaos Blast!” The shockwave sent the Chaotix, except for Julie-Su, flying.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
She stepped in his way. “Ekyt, please listen. My sister is having a hard time. She loved that guy for a while and now” “Shoot me.” “What?” “Shoot me. I see your finger tensing on the trigger. Go ahead. I mean you no harm, but you're in my way. Fire.” Julie-Su set the pistol to stun. “I don't want to do this, but you forced me.” She said quietly, apolgeticly. She fired, hitting him square in the chest.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Ekyt laughed. “Get your sister to safety. My fury is only for Staph.” “Ekyt, he's a guardian!” “What!” Ekyt yelled. Julie-Su nodded. “They made him a guardian. It's a tradition. If you beat the old guardian in combat, you replace him.” Ekyt squeezed his eyes shut. “Oh well. They can try to put me in jail.” He skated off, finding Staph being trained by Knuckles. “Oh, so you came back? What, I've taken your home, your job, your woman, and even your pride.” Ekyt stood deep, a hand in front of him. “If you think I'm so pathetic, attack. Go ahead.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Knuckles knew this would happen, sooner or later. And he knew at what point he would step in. For now he turned a blind eye to the fight.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Staph did as Ekyt chaos controlled above him, laughing. “What's the matter? Didn't see that coming?” Ekyt punched him, sending him skidding. “The nice thing about SoulTouch (The echidna/ Ekyt's ability to know your soul mate- N.G.) is that it let's you know when your mate is in trouble. Besides, I can sense it. You have something on Linda. Now unless you want…Ha!” Staph swiped at Ekyt. He flipped backwards and charged into the echidna, sending him into a wall. He threw him in to the wall again, the held him there around the neck. “Where is she? What have you got on her?” He snarled, squeezing. “Screw…You!” the echidna choked out. Ekyt let him fall, then yelled “Chaos Spear!” Red and black spears appeared from no where and landed on the echidna. No where vital, but it hurt. “You're trying my patience. Now tell me!”

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“I kidnapped her friends! They're being killed by the Dark Legion as we speak! I made her help me win that fight!” Ekyt's eyes widened. He turned to Shadow and Tiffany. “I need your help.” “It's not my problem. But fine.” Shadow said. “I'm in.” said Tiffany. “Good. Let's end this!”
