Kestis Falls, A remote town located in the heart of a scorching desert, west of Nueva Vale and southeast of the location of the Inhuman Sanctuary. This very town is one of the very few locations around that has not been heavily effected by the imperial rule of the Numberon Task Force,for this town already had a group creatures that were out and about trying to keep the people out of harm's way during this time of war.

This town was also said to be upholding one of seven jewels that possessed power beyond the reach of one's imagination. A Chaos Emerald. One of the very things the task force, the two resistance teams were all hunting for. After only barely beating his intergation case back at the sanctuary, Turbo and his newfound ally would have recieved a device from his friend,Kisara, that was labeled as "C-EHL3" which was meant to serve as a locator that would help him track down the locations of the chaos emeralds, as well as any signs of energy that was adaject from the emeralds within said locations, which is what would lead the blue hedgehog into this mysterious new land.
[---------------------------------------------------------]
Turbo:So this is that place where locator was tracking,eh?* He said lowering his head.Panting as he was wiping off the sweat from his forehead,looking towards the sign as he glances over at a nearby sign that was pointing towards the desert town* Huh, looks a lot less tricked put than I thought it'd be.

The hedgehog faunus commented,astonished by the fact of how classical and somewhat modern the town appeared in contrast to the more authoritative, futuristic aesthetic that the city and a few of the other locations he has passed by during his travels to this place had. A surprisingly welcome change of scenery,in spite of the scorching
heat,tumbleweeds and desert sands. He took decided to take out a canister of water for him to drink, rehydrating himself and regaining his energy as he ventured further into the heart of the town.

Just from looking around this area,It seemed full of individuals from different backgrounds, most of which seemed to be of the beastman and monster variety, with there a few friendly human and androids going about in the area in the area,selling parts and supplies over to the other civilians in case they felt like they needed them for later if anything were to happen was to happen. On the other side,a group of townsfolk could seen pinning several posters across a bulletin board with a few of them showcased the destructive hybrid creature, Kudajira, being placed in the middle of the board. The monster already seemed to have made quite the impression around this borough.given the nifty price of $50.000 this creature has on his head, The gigantic monster shaped skulls, that were left standing outside of the town, demolished apartment buildings disheveled clock towe and courtyard,currently going under repairs at this moment after one of the beast's previous attack. Another one of the posters was also depicting a picture of the overlord,holding up three of his metallic fingers in the form of claws, menacingly staring back at anyone who was looking at the picture,

Turbo:But seems like both of those guys have been leaving their marks around this place too.* He gritted his teeth as he stared at the wanted posters of the two assailants,his quills were slowly starting to grow into a darker shade of blue,leaning a few inches away from his usually colors fading into black before he felt a small shock across his body,causing him to clench his chest tightly and shake his head l*Keep it together,Turbo. He's only trying to get under your skin, don't give into it. Don't. GIve. In

He recited quietly under his breath as his irises were continously from their usual emerald green colors to an almost demonic looking blood shot red as he continued to look all across the town,trying to keep his cool so that he doesn't unintentionally provoke any of the citizens,considering how some of the people back at the Inhuman Sanctuary didn't know whether they should fully trust him or not just yet, granted both his curious disappearance from the world before the war had begun, as well the uncanny similarities in apperance to Fraxas Prime,so if he had any chance winning the trust of the people in your.He definitely to keep his composure in check and prove he's not a threat here.

The disturbed needlemouse took in a few deep breaths as he closed his eyes.but before he could move further along,he would have started hear a small growling sound from behind,causing his shoulders to perk and shoot up,a shiver creeping down his spine once he heard that alarming growling,out of hesitation,Turbo slowly turned his head to see what source or the growling was before being met a familiar, neon red colored dinosaur staring back at him*

"State your business here.Hedgehog!" Demanded the dinosaur,standing perched on top of a small hill, glaring at Turbo with pure aggression and resentment in it's eyes as it leaned a bit closely to him,making Turbo back away from the enraged reptile as he was holding his hands and slowly backing away from them

Turbo:Cass?* He called out to the creature standing in front of him,referring to the creature by the nickname had for one of his former friends,given the striking resemblance the creature had to the scarlet haired blood dragon's monster form*I-Is that...Is that you?

"I will not ask you again,what are you doing here?" The creaturedd snarled,snorting out a puff of smoke from it's nostrils,squinting it's eyes at the blue hedgehog as they slowly began to light up with a crimson red color as it stared back at him,Preparing to fire a laser from it's eyes if Turbo didn't start explaining his case "I don't have time for any more of your illusions, And neither does this town...*

Turbo:Cassie, Look It's me, the real Turbo,I'm not trying to play tricks on you.* He announced in desperation,pleading his case that he was actually his real self and not his robotic duplicate that's been terrorizing everyone's lives.

"Lies! I've seen you use this same trick already, it's not going to work this time!" Cassie roared furiously,stomping her feet,hard pressed on the ground ,causing a nearby rock formation to split apart from the loud vibration that came from her stomping* "The real Turbo died a long time ago,and you decided to disguise yourself as him not once,but a second time!?* The blood dragon spouted grinding her teeth

Turbo:But I'm not! This isn't a prank or anything, I'm telling you! I'm not here to hurt you or anyone else. I'm only here to find the emeralds so we could beat Fraxas! I'm not trying to set you up!* He claimed l,shaking his head rapidly*

"Why should I believe you? For all I know you could still be that degenerate of a robot,waltzing around in a suit,still pretending one of my old friends,just so you could stab me in the back...again!?" The enraged demon hybrid asked,shouting vemonlsly as she pound from the top of the hill she stood as she started pacing around the blue hedgehog * " You have taken so much from me,my friends,my family, my home. And now you wanted waltz around here, wearing the face of one of the friends lost for a second time. So you could take advantage of my trust again?"

Turbo:No! No!. I'm not here to do that to you,I promise!*He tells her as he places his hand on his chest* I know about what it is that Fraxas had did to everyone else. I get it if you don't trust me right now. But I'm telling you truth,I'm not here to hurt you, I only want to help you and everyone else get their freedom back..*He said with honesty,his voice could be heard trembling a little bit as he spoke to the blood dragon,He slowly pulled out his locator from out of the pocket of his jacket to show to Cassie, revealing that he had came here in search of a Chaos Emerald that was located somewhere around here.

The blood dragon glanced at the device with curiosity as she tilted her head when viewing the screen,seeing that radar at this moment was trying to pinpoint the precise location of where the emerald was resting within the district. "I've looking for one of the chaos emeralds, this gadget has been telling me that it might be around here somewhere . I was thinking maybe if I could find them, maybe I could set things right for you and the others. I don't want you to suffer anymore" The blue hedgehog admitted the dragon. Feeling skeptical of his motives. Cassie found it really odd that she was hearing all of this sincerity from the blue hedgehog's words,making it a little difficult for her to tell if this supposed to be Fraxas playing trick on her,disguising himself as the friend she had believed she lost,or if this might actually the real Turbo,appearing in the flesh right in front of her, not looking he aged a day since the last time he was on the scene. As the blood dragon was about to open her mouth to answer the needlemouse's question. A loud scream could be heard coming from afar,causing the pair turn their head's to the side.

Turbo:What's happening?* He asked worriedly as he looked over Cassie*

Cassie:Oh no...* She growled,mumbling her breath as she quickly started running in the direction of where they had heard the screaming coming from,with Turbo deciding to follow suit to investigate.

As the reptile and the speedster dashed and ventured into the western broughs,the smell of smoke was the air the moment they got closer,seeing a group of people trying to flee from the scene to get safety as they passed through before stopping in front of a nearby museum that was burning down,and with it stood a,short but lanky humanoid invidiviual wearing a collar around his neck ,one who's body who looked to made out of magma and flames.panting profusely,hunching their back as he looked down at his fire filled hands,shaking with fear as he looked over to Turbo and Cassie.

???:Please! I-I didn't mean to. I‐I don't-!* The incendiary creature pleaded in a shakey,almost nervous and apologetic tone,sounding almost juvenile as he stumbling around his words,a stream of tears made from his flowing down his face*
