Chapter 52 - The Next Guardian issue 52

Ekyt and Linda-Su both got cleaned up. She had to work the next day. Ekyt always worked. He walked into the chaos chamber and sighed at the hole in the wall. “Geez, it smells awful in here. Those stupid explosions.” He had a bag of gas masks. The chemicals could be hazardous. “How am I gonna fix this?”

“Perhaps I can help.” Ekyt spun around, hand on his staff, ready for a fight. “Relax. I just want to help. Great party, by the way.” “Uh, thanks…” “I'm Blain. (Mr_Gimp) Shadow's my dad.” Ekyt coughed on the water he was drinking when he heard that. “Oh, Shadow never mentioned he had kids. Um, okay, so, how should we fix this?”

“Chaos control,” he answered simply as he warped time and finished the wall in seconds. Ekyt had gotten used to chaos control by now, since it had saved his life. But he'd never seen anyone but Shadow or Star (Violet_Rose) do it.

“Blain, how old are you, if you don't mind my asking.” “I'm twelve. But dad says I act older. I dunno if that's good or not.” Ekyt shook his head. “Coming from your dad, I'd say that's a good thing. Thanks for your help.” “No problem. Okay if I hang around? Dad says I don't get out enough.” Blain just shrugged. “Um, sure.”

Knuckles came in. “Nice job on the wall.” he said to Ekyt. “Thank him,” he cocked his head toward Blain. Blain explained who he was to Knuckles. Knuckles shook his head. “Shadow has a son…man! I thought I would have kids before him.”

At that moment, Ragnarok (Sega_Man7) walked in with two others. He introduced them as Gaia (Sega_Man7) and Mariic (Sega_Man7). Mariic gave Ragnarok a fond look. So did Gaia. Then they gave each other a look that said She's mine!

“We came to help with the damage from last night. Wasn't there a hole over there?” Ragnarok asked. “There was, but Blain fixed it.” Linda-Su walked in next.

Around her neck was the pendant that Ekyt had given her. They exchanged fond glances before getting to work cleaning up. Sonic zoomed in next, with Tails in tow.

“Hey group, what's the word?” he asked. Ekyt handed him a gas mask. “what' this for?” Before anyone could answer, Gaia began to glow strangely. “What the…”

They all began to glow. They all blacked out.

When they woke up, they were on a weird planet. “What is this place?” asked Knuckles. Ragnarok sighed. “Gaia, you really need to control this goofy power of yours.” She turned to Knuckles: “Welcome to Zoness.”

“Zoness” was a world full of water. They had somehow landed in a village. The inhabitants seems to be scared to their surroundings and kept in their houses. “Whatever you do, keep those masks on. Everything here is polluted. So, until Gaia transports us back, we're stuck here.” She didn't look overly enthused to be back on her home planet.
