"Well, we could probably offer to help him find the other Chaos Emeralds, but I think that would take way too much time." |

Shadow paused briefly with his back still towards them, considering what they just offered. They offered to help him find the Emeralds, then another offered to enhance his own. He looked at it, considering the offer, then clenched it. "Never. The Emeralds are a balance. You disrupt that balance and there's no telling what might happen." He then turned halfway to face them and pointed at them with his free hand. "And I don't think anything you can offer me will persuade me to help you, but maybe I'll offer you some advice: Sonic always turns up when there's trouble." He lowered his arm and started to walk away again, though adding one final thought. "Pretend to create some. Who knows? Maybe it'll help you."

"Allow me to be the first one to say that the Chaos Emeralds are NOT a balance." Alestance says. "They are jewels from another universe, filled with sick and vial beasts." Alestance trembles. "That universe is alive, and it is eating. Eating everything. Those gemstones are the creation of the most evil being that has ever been allowed to live... A God of ultimate evil, and ultimate power. They are the opposite of balance." "We five, and another risked our lives to make sure that Chuziw, the demon God of Chaos would not devour another universe." Void continues. "And it appears that the one whom is not here has decided it was a wonderful idea to wake the beast... If its trouble that we have to cause to fix that fool's mistake, than how about I start with you?" "Void! Don't" Alestance pleads. "Thats not what we're doing here!" "Told you he was off his rocker..." Chris states. "Enough! I'm bored of being a negotiating party. I want some action. My nerves are shot, and I want to break something..." Void's eyes glow bright red. "Fool! If you're gonna pick fights with people then start with someone else!" Alestance yells. "Back off, Alestance! I'll destroy you if you don't!" Void threatens. Noah jumps in front of Void and knocks him down. "Stop being a jerk. Save that fighting spirit for something more important. Like what we'll be dealing with in the Chaos Realm." "Try that again without your precious Chaos Element Stone. You wouldn't have hurt me if it weren't for that magic..." Void drones. "Remember, I'm still a bad guy, I'll get you when you're least expecting it..." |

Shadow halted when the man began explaining the Chaos Emeralds. He paused, staring once again into the Emerald. True, nobody, not even the Doctor, had any clue what the origins of the Emeralds were. All he knew was that they contained ultimate power in both positive and negative forms, and when combined, untold power could be unleashed. Shadow knew, for he had shared the power with Sonic once, witnessed it another time, and unleashed the power himself to eliminate the Black Arms. Each and every time the energy had been used for good, so how could they possibly be evil? His thoughts were interrupted when the one apparently called "Void" became enraged and threatened to attack Shadow, causing him to turn and face them in a battle-ready stance, brandishing the Emerald, but the others were already restraining him. Shadow slowly settled a bit and lowered the Emerald, bringing his feet together. They knew so much about the very origin of the Emeralds and their power... and perhaps they knew more about Shadow himself: Shadow didn't need an Emerald to tap into the power of Chaos. The Emerald only acted as an amplifier. Could Shadow possibly be linked to this "Chaos Realm" himself? It looks like he was wrong: There WAS something they could give him, after all. "... I'll help you, but I want to know everything about the Chaos Emeralds, and why I can use Chaos Control even without an Emerald."

"You want to know everything?" Alestance asks. "Very well... I think its best if we start from Chuziw's Origin... His villainous monologue gave us just about everything we know..." "Apparently, the four Gods who watch over the entirety of the Metaverse, that is, every universe ever made, are really Mortals as well. They have a set life span of around 355 trillion Metaverse years, or, rather, how long it takes the farthest universe to make a full rotation around the center... Anyway, those Gods were born from the corpses of two Gods from the previous Age named Ashtar and Kavar. They had a brother named Menakar." "Menakar was not satisfied with his long life span and demanded true immortality. Using his very essence and life force, he created a new universe that was alive. So long as that universe lived, so Menakar will. That universe is the Chaos Realm. It was designed to expand at a continuous rate until all of the Metaverse was within it. Ashtar and Kavar managed to put the beast to sleep, and so it slept until when the four Gods we know were born. Thats when Menakar became Chuziw. He infected a halfgod and stole it's body, and thats how he was capable of waking the Beast once more, but, for some reason, he didn't... They continued to sleep until Nathan Walsh, a cult leader devoted to Chaos invented a doorway into this realm... But this doesn't explain why the Chaos Emeralds are here, nor why you can tap into their power naturally." Alestance sighs. "I think, at the very tip of this Universe is where the beast rests. Its likely that every now and again, an opening between the Chaos Realm and any Universe it's touching occurs, and thats likely how the Chaos Emeralds came here. How you're tapping into that power is not one I can easily guess. Perhaps you were subjected to a shard of crystalline chaos energy when you were born? If the Chaos Emeralds are Chaos Element stones, then there was likely an impact on Earth at one time, probably before Life existed. There's likely shards of the meteorite floating off into deep space as we speak." "At any rate, the Chaos Elemental Stones and the Chaos Emeralds have very similar properties, and they're not unlike any element stone found on Terra." Alestance continues. "Each Chaos Element stone has three different elemental properties within it. One Levos element, one Umbra element, and then Chaos itself. Its likely that the portion of the stone you're tapping into is just the Chaos portion. That is, when feeding off raw Chaos energy, you start to glow, much like Noah is, and you gain abilities far beyond your normal physical limits. Perhaps, though, you can utilize the other elemental properties of the Chaos Emerald, if they are from what they seem to be." |

Daniel crosses his arms. "Maybe he's just able to use their power because that's what his creator designed him to do. Use the power of chaos to restore some order to this world." |

The history was about as detailed as Shadow expected it to be, and it revealed more to the Chaos Emerald lore than he could have ever imagined existed. Had he any memory of the monster Chaos -- he was still under ice when that event took place -- he might've drawn links between the beast's Perfect form and the supposed other elements within the Emeralds, or indeed parallels between Chaos and the supposed "God of Chaos" itself. Unfortunately, neither of those events were familiar to him, so there goes a great potential story device. The man could not explain Shadow's ability to tap into the power, which did not surprise Shadow but disappointed him nonetheless. He thought about his creation; no, Professor Gerald Robotnik's collaboration with a totalitarian alien. Surely Black Doom would have known more about his abilities. Even the Professor, perhaps. Unfortunately, both of them were dead. "Nobody alive knows why I can use the energy." Is it my destiny to never know what truly lies in my past? A brief image of a young girl flashed in his mind before he shook his head to remove the scene. Now was not the time to think of her. In any case, the one who had just spoken wouldn't know anything about his true purpose; that was hidden to himself. He had served two creators, only to destroy one. Though he had been made to serve Black Doom, it wasn't until Shadow decided to forsake his past that he stood against him. |

"Well, Shadow, sometime's ones past is best kept secret." Alestance comforts. "My past... has been riddled with nothing but pain and sorrow. From the time I was born, to now, I have lost every friend I've ever known. Everything I've held dear has been lost to time. I've been created as a warrior of Light to win the universe I belong to. From what I've come to understand the two Gods of Balance play a war game to decide the fate of that universe. The winner makes it the way he or she wants." "I was supposed to die after my purpose was complete, but something went wrong. Perhaps that was your fate too? Perhaps the reason you know nothing of your past was because you weren't meant to live past the point you've forgotten?" "However, telling you everything, I can tell you're disappointed with the information I relayed. If you wish to withdraw your assistance, you wouldn't be wrong to do so. I didn't have the answers you were seeking." "I do have to ask you though." Noah interrupts. "Show me your Chaos Emerald. I would not mind teaching you how to use it differently. I just need to know it's color." |

Shadow looked at his Emerald as he processed what the man was saying. He didn't believe what he was saying was true. In fact, he had suffered amnesia before even his "designed purpose" was fulfilled: To collect the Chaos Emeralds for Black Doom 50 years after his creation. Only, that purpose had diminished when the Professor went mad and attempted to reprogram him to destroy the Earth, instead. It was his heart and compassion that eliminated both goals, all thanks to her... Shadow... Please... Do it for me... For a better future... No. Shadow had not outlived his purpose. "I live to protect all of humanity..." He muttered this, so it was possible that the others did not hear what he said. He was looking at the ground but now looked up at the man who asked to see the Emerald. He did not show it to him yet; he wanted to know something first. "Why? Will it better equip me to protect this Earth?" |

"It very well could. I do believe the Chaos Emeralds and the Chaos Element Stones are infact the same type of gemstone. If this is true, they hold more power than you've been tapping into." Noah says. "Knowing every way you can control the energy it holds can always give you an upper hand in the battle to save the universe." He holds his up. "This specific stone is orange. Within it, it holds the elements of Fire and Ice." Noah closes his eyes and focuses some of the energy back into the stone, then his aura stops flashing multiple colors, and, instead, glows red only. Then he opens his eyes and holds his empty hand out, and a stream of fire is created. "Not bad, huh?" Chris scoffs, "Show-off." he mutters under his breath. |

Shadow watches the demonstration. To be quite honest, he didn't think he needed much more energy besides what becoming Super Shadow granted. Then again, those powers were only mega-amplified versions of his own abilities... Without saying anything, he held out the Emerald, loosening his grip so that he could see that it was white. |

"Interesting. I was kinda hoping it were the green one." Noah said. "Anyway... let me try to remember... White was, hmm..." "I'm not too fond of Air and Space..." Alestance says. "What are you talking about?!" Noah reacts surprised. "I had a lot of fun with that! Why didn't I remember before?" "You having a lot of fun with that was why I'm not fond of them..." Alestance retorts. "Air and Space allow you to create points of outward and inward pressure, like a jet of Air, or a Vaccuum. See if you can try it." "I don't think he knows how." Chris says. "Thats the whole reason why no one here knows about their abilities. We Terrans have been subjected to constant elemental energy, so utilizing and manipulating that energy is something young children learn before they even talk." "Oh... Right..." Noah says. "Well... how can I describe the flow of energy, then?" "It takes a lot of practice to control energy, a very basic exercise you can try is closing your eyes and feeling the energy flow. If you can feel it with your mind, you can also ask it to do what you tell it to. Feel it as if it were an extention of your body, and then bend it as naturally as you bend your elbow. Try to make the energy flow to a fixed point and we'll see if we can make it work." "Once you make it flow, make it flow back into the emerald. Ask it to grant you the power of one of it's elements. Air will create a thrusting pressure to push your enemies away, and Space can create a pulling force that can draw your enemies closer, or save your allies." Noah finishes. |

Manipulating air and space sounded useful, sure, but the "exercise" sounded hokey to Shadow. And if it wasn't Chaos energy, then Shadow had a feeling he could not manipulate as easily -- if, indeed, at all. Though when he thought about it, in a way, he could control time and space using Chaos Control. A "vacuum" just seemed like a more advanced technique. He thought perhaps, with that thought in mind, it would be simple. He looked around then setled on the air just before his raised left hand, which he clenched into a fist and focused. Instantly, a small dark sphere appeared. It appeared to be sucking the air around it into the sphere, but to test it further, he scooped up a small pebble and held it just outside the sphere. He could feel the pressure on his hand as he let the pebble go, and it was sucked into the sphere. Then he made it vanish and reappear in a different location to his right. Then he changed the energies within the sphere, causing the energy inside to blow outward, including sending the pebble skyward. "... It's just a more advanced version of Chaos Control. It's not difficult." He sounded almost disappointed. |

"Well, looky there!" Noah said excitedly. "I knew you could do it!" "Well, why don't we tell him the powers of each stone, then?" Alestance suggests. "I don't see why not." Noah scratches his head. "I'll have to take back that comment I said earlier, you're much cooler than Sonic!" "As was mentioned before, each stone has two unique powers. The Red one, which Noah mistaked for Orange holds Fire and Ice inside it, the Blue one, Water and Steam, the White one, as you know, has Air and Space, the Green one holds Earth and Electricity, the Light Blue one has Matter and Anti-matter, the Yellow One holds Light and Darkness, the Purple one holds Mind and Soul." Alestance explains. "Complex usage of the Chaos Emeralds can lead to very powerful attacks and abilities ranging from simple explosions to creating life. Use them wisely." Alestance closes his eyes, and before him a rock spire rises. It is shaped by Alestance's unseen force into a humanoid form. The shape opens it's "eyes" and begins walking around. "Using the Mind and Soul element with any other element can create lifeforms from basic to complex. You can effectively clone yourself with the Matter element with enough practice." Alestance says, as two more of himself appear beside him "I wouldn't recommend that, though, as the people who discovered this on their own 8000 years ago died because the complexity of the design and the concentration required was too great for them." The stone creature and the Alestance clones disintegrate into nothing. "The more complex and intricate the energies flow and interact, the more complex and creative the result can be, but the more taxing it can be on you if you can't concentrate hard enough on it." Alestance continues. "If you are willing to utilize the alternate powers the Chaos Emeralds have, stay with the basics until you're comfortable with all the abilities, then try different combinations and techniques, progressing in complexity as you grow comfortable with it. Knowing your own limits is important. If you start feeling fatigue and even pain, thats when you know you've been pushing your body's limit of controlling the elements. Unlike Chaos Energy, your body can only hold and manipulate so much. But, like any muscle, your body can become more used to it, and it's tolerance can become much better with exercise." "By the sound of all of that, I'd say we're ready to hit the road." Void says, very irritated at the long exchange of information. "One more question, then, Shadow. If you're willing to help us find Sonic and Tails, would you also be willing to join us in the Chaos Realm?" Noah inquires. "Considering you're fascinated about the Origin of the Chaos Emeralds, and why you're able to use them so easily, I feel that taking you there might at least give you some of the answers you desire. It might open some of the doors you haven't been able to open, or even open some doors you might not have noticed before."

Shadow wasn't exactly sure that learning to use the innate abilities of each Chaos Emerald interested him; it was his link to Chaos that was more concerning. And now they offered him a chance to perhaps find the answers. "... I'll go with you." |

"Very well." Alestance says "You'll begin to see what's really going on..." "Enough dawdling. Lets get going." Void says, rather irate. "Our universe and countless others are in danger." "Given the fact that we've all been using the free flowing chaos energy thats been available, its not an unlikely conclusion that Shadow has enough latent energy to use Chaos Control on all of us, taking us where we need to be." Noah concludes. "Providing he chooses to, of course. I don't mind running either. I could probably keep up." |

... that, and it would also mean that I consider Sonic X -- aka one of the top ten worst cartoons I've ever seen -- null and void, so it means I wouldn't have needed a replacement for what's-their-names in the first place.
