Meanwhile,In a place far away from the scorching sands of Kestis Falls' desert, An unconscious Nitro Salazar was shackled down in chains,sitting in the middle of a crystalized platform,inside of what looked to be rather strange looking. Crystals and glass shards were floating around in a green and purple sky,As the shards were drifting across the sky,the sounds of a few voices could be heard echoing throughout this vacuum of space .

"10 years...?"* a trembling,almost mechanical yet human sounding voice called out,sounding utterly shocked,The sounds of paper being violently clenched and crumbling could be heard following it* 10 years!? In the ground! In the grave!? DEAD!!, 10 years!" Shouted the cybernetic voice sobbing*

"Marshall! Marshall!?, Where...Where is he? What did they do to my boy!?"" Another voiced yelled out of frustration,this one sounding feminine. By what could heard.A worried and concerned mother was calling out for their son and asking another group of people next to her about his whereabouts,seemingly like she was at her boiling point.*.

"No matter what you do,Nothing will ever make me give up! I-I'm not letting you hurt my friends,ever again!!!* Another female's echoed across the realm,followed by sound of ice forming and claws being sharpened against the frozen surface*And that's a promise! You metal freak!

"They've still gotta be out there somewhere,I just know it! There's no way they would just disappear like that.Right?* Asked the voice of a small rabbit girl looking up to the holder of the Chaos Demon who looked to be holding her trying her best to comfort her before she started to answer her question with a slight smile on her face* "I'm sure they'll turn back up, Isabella, They must have had some reason for leaving,Don't worry. They'll be back. " The voice of Yurei said in a soft tone*

"I-i don't know why you hate us so much but please.D-Don't take my father away, he's all I got!" A purple haired girl cried out,balling into tears as she got infront of a cybernetic figure dawning a hood,in an attempt to protect him despite the immense fear she had at that moment

"It just feels like the more this keeps going,the more it's tearing us apart.That's what he wants, to get in our heads! We can't just let him keep doing this to us! I'don't want to lose you!!! * The first female voice from one of the previous fragments sobbed l,sounding as if she was on the verge of balling into a fountain of tears*

"WILL BOTH OF YOU CUT THIS CRAP OUT!? God dang it! Both of you are sounding like idiots! L-Let me think!* The voice of Cassie Blaze could be heard inside of the next fragment,seemingly snapping at two other individuals who were close to her,,fighting against each other while a commotion was taking place inside of a small shack*

"I can help but feel like all of this is my fault. I already lost one family I had and n-now" Said the voice of a particularly rowdy blue hedgehog,sitting nearby a lake with someone else as he looked down at a twisted version of his reflection,one where his quills now appearing to be black instead of their usual blue and his eyes were turning to ruby red as he clenched his chest*I tore the only other one I knew apart,didn't I...?* He pondered,hanging his head low as he was looking down at the river* I've got to fix this somehow,I've got to...

The black hedgehog's eyes shot widen,gasping loudly in shock upon hearing the last few echoes of each crystal fragment ringing through his ears,perplexed by the voices he was hearing from each passing fragment, one after another,they all were starting to sound familiar to him, like they were the voices people he knew before the unfortunate predicament

He looked at his wrist,seeing that he he had now been shackled down from head to toe like a rabid beast. His breathing was thinner, his palms were sweating and his heart was beating quicker and quicker.He attempted to break out of these binding chains,shimming around to try to squeeze his hands out of the chain before the chains then started to glow with a yellow,luminous light,soon leading to the shackles to become tighter around the hedgehog's wrists and sending out an electric jolt through his body, causing him to let a loud,screeching yell of pain as he fell back on the concrete while the electric pulse continues to course through his veins. The hedgehog sealed his eyes shut and clenched his teeth,still desperately trying to breakfree from his imprisonment, in spite of the immense pain was feeling right now, he did not relent, not wanting to let his iron will faulter. He could not let it,he just couldn't! Not at a time like this, not while there were people that still needed. He has to pull through somehow

Nitro:( C-can't just back down now!, N-Not yet, come on ,Nitro. Keep it together! Ignore the pain this nothing!)* He said to him internally as he was trying to morph into his super form as he tried to get up, but the pressure that the chains were giving out made it more difficult than it should be for him as his quills were rapidly chasing in color,switching back and fourth from their usual black and red palette to a bright combination yellow and red colors each time,but he couldn't remain that other form for long,as it seemed like with each shock,Nitro's chaotic energy was depleting,practically being sucked out of his system* C-Come on...C-Come on!!!* He yelled in a almost blood curdling scream,straining his body ad he continued to try to pull through

???:Ah,you're finally awake,I was worried I might have lost you dear brother. Though I should warn you, Don't struggle ,it only gets worse the more you move..* A metallic voice called out of the shadows he was walking towards the enchained hedgehog before a purple light was shining down on the mechanical figure,revealing himself to be none other than the mechanical doppleganger himself, Fraxas.

Nitro:* He glares at the robotic duplicate, scoffing at him*You're no brother of mine,you degenerate!

Fraxas Prime:Oof! I see someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Or rather,the wrong side of the chain*He chuckled,putting his over his mouth*

Nitro:Where have you taken me? What is this place!?

Fraxas Prime: Let's just call this place my personal playground, my domain if you will * He says walking forward to Nirto before grabbing onto a crystal floating around in the air, one that depicted two images inside of it, One showing the soul reaper known as Phantom, and the other presenting a rather grim and omnious hulking figure with beaty red eyes glowing from the side of it,the creature itself looked like some of demon* Or as the old bird had once called it, a Nexus Point.

Nitro: A Nexus Point...? * His ear sprung up at the moment he what Fraxas had just said to him,making him raise an eyebrow in confusion.* As in‐?

Fraxas Prime: A center in which all reality originates. Where old memories go to die and new ones are formed. Or I suppose in my case, where the wildest of dreams and most terrifying of nightmares are brought into being.* He hummed lightly as he he let's the crystal float away from him the air*

Nitro: Wait,But how would you have ev-

Fraxas Prime: Managed to access this place? Well....* He chuckled lightly as he pulls out a green Chaos Emerald and a square shaped device containing a blue liquid inside of it from out of his pocket as he glances over Nitro with a smirk* I may have come across a couple souvenirs while I was looking.

Nitro ( In His Mind):( A Chaos Emerald?)* He says internally gazing at the green at the emerald before his eyes cut towards the next direction as he saw the other item the mechanical over lord had pulled out until his pupils started to dilate once he recognized the device* (The amplifier too!? )* He thought go himself looking in shock upon seeing both of these items in Fraxas' hands*

Fraxas Prime: Had to get past a little rabbit just to get my hands back on these.* He commented, sighing as he rose his hands up the air, raising a group of stones up in air before form them a makeshift throne for himself to kick back for a moment* A scrappy little one for such a sweet girl. Her tenacity is admirable, I'll give her that. Heh....She almost reminds me of you in a way* He remarked,closing his eyes

Nitro:( A rabbit....*gasps* Isabella! She fought this thing!?),* He pondered,rasing his head up as he was looking over Fraxas direction as he clenches his fist.

Fraxas Prime:Actually you know what? I could have sworn some of those gadgets she used struck quite the resemblance to your own designs. I suppose she wanted to follow along in your footsteps. *He hummed,leaning back against his throne *Even her fighting had some aspects of your own and then some. Not as brutal as yours but it came close.

Nitro: What did you to that girl?* He asked him with venom and a hint of anger and worry building in his voice, his hands were scrunching into fists,shaking around in the cuffs of his shackles when looking back at the overlord* I swear if you laid one finger on him.I .Will-!

Fraxas Prime:Don't get your undies in a twist, She's fine, Dear brother, I can assure you. For now at least. Besides, the rabbit's not my target .She was merely an obstacle. Another number. * He says in a low tone of voice as another crystal fragment soon started to float nearby him. One showcasing Turbo,his new companion,and Cassie alongside mutated flame haze in Ketis Falls before one side of the crystal started to show the hybrid kaiju roaming in a demolished city,roaring thrumpantly the sky?* There are bigger targets at hand.

Beaming his eyes in the direction of the Fraxas shard, curiously looking at the rapidly changing being shown within of,they appeared to be some sorts of visions,that of moments passed. One of which showcasing two blood dragons fighting off against a horde of Fraxas's soliders,valiantly holding off their own against the invading group,only for one of them to overwhelmed and restrained by the robots. Another vision showcasing Serena,presumably taking place a few years back where she is sent bursting out of the walls of a castle by while holding onto a winged creature after having got into a squabble with it and few others from inside, Kisara could also be seen riding on a wave of water as she was trying to get closer to the two individuals to break up the commotion. There was also a third vision showcasing the hulking demon from one of the previous shard visions, this time,the beast was holding an orb,smoking orb of energy in it's hand before slowly raising up his head while being faced against a shivered haired angel and cyborg, who at that moment were trying to make a break for to get away from the omnious creature.

Before the end result of this clash could have been shown,a crashing sound could be heard from across thr realm,a rebel was currently being flung across the place before they were sent crashing onto the ground,causing Nitro jump a bit of surprise,while Fraxas turned her head around in the solider's direction as he laughs

Fraxas:Ah, Believe we'll be having some company here,Nitro. The lieutenant has arrived.

Nitro:You're lieutenant

He rose as he glanced over the direction of the beaten down solider before he see a figure floating down from the sky and landing on top of the platform they all stood. The figure was emitting rather powerful aura just from their mere presence alone,something about this individuals' aura felt similar to that of the Rainbow Dragon but seemed much more harsh,cold and chaotic to it's energy,the aura itself was starting to appear in the form of the dragon's spirit,which now appeared to be much more disjointed and elongated,with their also being two additional heads appearing on the body of the dragon spirit

???: You know.This beautiful light makes it easier, to see how pathetic you are...* A feminine voice said as a figure with pink skin,black and dark purple eyes and long white hair,slowly approching a weakened solider ,she then grabs the fighter by the back of their collar.* Oh come on now. I know you've got more fight in you than that, I'll play with you again and again until I get bored of this game.* She said with a bit of sadistic sounding giggle before pointing her finger towards her opponent with a red beam slowly surging around her finger.

Oddly enough,something about her voice was evening beginning to sound familiar to Nitro, this voice sounded like a somewhat older,warped and more sadistic sounding version of an ally to him one that use to be such a playful and upbeat personality to their group. One who was also said to be the holder of the Rainbow Dragon's spirit herself. But this couldn't be he was starting to think this could be could it? Could this actually be.....

Nitro:(N-No that can't be. Kara!?)
