Chapter 20 - Team Sonic VS Chaos

We were being attacked by Grimoire Heart, an underground guild. The sky was stormy, and rain was preparing to fall. While searching for Wendy, I ran into one of the members who was with a monster made of water. It was untouchable and impervious to my attacks. I decided to make a scream, which it absorbed, and it turned into water with electricity in its body. It raised its hand toward me, and suddenly lightning shot toward me, but I dodged at the last moment. The attack hit a tree, and it collapsed.

Chip: Sonic, his face looks familiar.

Me: Do you think he's your brother or something?

Chip: No, it's not that, it's an ancient entity. It's an ancient chaos!

Me: Wait, wait, I know chaos really well, and none of them turn into liquid monsters.

Chip: But he really looks like a chaos. What happened to him?

Me: If he's from Grimoire Heart, he's probably a poor chaos that was forcefully recruited and transformed with the magic of this planet. Well, we're going to do as usual: take him out of the fight.

He turned his hands into drills and chained attacks, which I dodged, but the last blow tore my right side, and it started bleeding. He was preparing another attack when Chip created a green shield around me, then grabbed me, changing his wings to fly away from him.

Me: Where are we going? The fight isn't over yet...

Chip: You're injured, and we have no chance of beating him right now. We need to find the others.

The monster followed us from the ground, shooting icy thorns toward us. It jumped and knocked us down with a paw strike. We got up on the cliff of the giant Tenrô tree. I still had my hand on the side to stop the bleeding. The rain began to fall heavily, and the monster was slowly advancing as the rain poured. It began to grow because of the water, and its form changed...(Chaos 2)

Chip: Natsu isn't here, or he could have made fire to beat him.

Me: And with the rain, he could become even stronger...

I had a knee on the ground, unable to stand. I felt the pain dissipating, and I sensed someone was beside me, healing my wounds.

Wendy (healing me): Then let's defeat him together.

Chip and Me: Wendy!

Carla: We found you thanks to Wendy's sense of smell.

Chip: Carla!

Me (getting up): You shouldn't have come here. Chaos is dangerous.

Chip: Chaos?

Me: I had to give him a name since he didn't have one.

Wendy: Don't worry, Team Sonic is now complete!

Me: Team Sonic?

Wendy: That's the name of our group, isn't it?

Me: I thought it was Team Wendy. Anyway...

I transformed into my hedgehog-werewolf form. Chaos slammed his hands into the ground, and suddenly we all fell from the cliff. Carla managed to catch Wendy, and Chip did the same with me. We landed softly, but a hand-to-hand fight began between me and Chaos.

Wendy: Physical enhancement: Deus Eques!

Wendy cast a spell that increased my striking power. Chaos's arms transformed into various weapon forms, but I managed to defeat him, turning him into a puddle of water multiple times. He charged at me and threw me into the river behind us. I couldn't swim; in fact, I hated water more than anyone. I managed to grab a branch to float, and Wendy and the others were running along the bank, shouting my name. Chaos had changed forms again (Chaos 4)

; he became a giant shark. He surged from the water to swallow me, but Wendy made him disappear with a long-range scream. We were heading toward a massive waterfall that could have been fatal for me. Chaos managed to swallow me after several attempts. I was struggling to breathe because he was strangling me. That's when I had an idea. I used my magic to create a repulsion that electrified the water and made him disappear, but I think I was losing consciousness...

Chip's POV

We saw an explosion in the water a few meters from the waterfall, and we saw Sonic emerge from the water at a great height. I rushed to him to catch him before he fell. I descended with him to the bottom of the waterfall, and we had no signs of Chaos in the water. I laid him down and noticed that he had lost consciousness due to lack of oxygen. Wendy and Carla arrived. Wendy examined his body and felt that his heart wasn't beating...

Carla: Wendy, what's happening?

Wendy (worried and almost in tears): I don't know. I can't feel his pulse.

Me: He has water in his body; we need to get it out!

Wendy began applying pressure to his chest and gave him mouth-to-mouth for two minutes, but nothing happened...

Wendy (crying): Sonic, you better not go... you promised me... if you leave... I...

Carla: Wendy...

Wendy: Come on, wake up!

She punched him in the stomach, enveloped in wind, and suddenly Sonic started coughing up water.

Me, Carla, and Wendy: Sonic!!!

Sonic (coughing water): Never again... I fight an aquatic enemy...

Wendy jumped into his arms.

Wendy: Never scare me like that again...

Sonic: I promise... but you can stop now, you're going to strangle me soon...

Me: Sonic, you really gave us a scare!

Carla: Are you okay?

Sonic (returning to his human form): Yeah, yeah, I'm fine... wait, where's Chaos??

Wendy: I think you defeated him before drowning...

Sonic (smirking): Chip... you got the pictures, right?

Me (pulling out my camera): Yeah, don't worry.

I pulled out photos and showed them to Sonic, Wendy, and Carla. They were pictures of Wendy giving Sonic mouth-to-mouth, which I took without them noticing.

Wendy (hands on her face, embarrassed): Chip!! Why did you take those photos???

Sonic (looking surprised): Wow, she didn't hold back, but I'm not surprised.

Carla (paw on her forehead): You two are incorrigible.

Ellipsis: Team Sonic found Natsu, Lucy, and Happy, then headed toward Grimoire Heart's ship but were stopped by Bluenote. Gildarts became his opponent, and Natsu's group was reunited in front of the ship, where they found Hadès, the master of the guild...

Sonic's POV

Natsu: There you are at last! You attacked the old man??

Hadès: And you must be Makarov's children. Too bad you came all this way just to die. If you really want to fight, you can have fun with my pet. (He left)

Natsu (angry): Hey, where do you think you're going like that!?

The waves began to get stronger, and suddenly giant liquid tentacles wrapped around the ship. It was the water from the Sea, and I remembered who it was before a giant water monster appeared.(Chaos 6)

Me: Chaos...

Wendy: Is he still alive??

Natsu: What is that thing???

Lucy: A giant fish!!!

It opened its mouth and started sucking everything in front of it. We were being sucked in. Gray was the first to enter its mouth, followed by Erza. As Lucy flew toward its mouth, the monster was frozen by Gray's magic, and Erza cut it into pieces, both of them emerging in an explosion of ice.

Me and Wendy: Are you serious!?

Carla: Was it that easy??

Lucy, Natsu, Happy, and Lily looked at us with puzzled faces, as they had no idea how hard we fought to beat it.

Gray: Let's head straight to the final boss!

He created an ice staircase that allowed us to board the ship.

Natsu: Happy, Carla, Lily, and Chip, I need you to inspect the ship.

Happy, Carla, and Chip: Okay!

Lily (covering her ears): Whatever you want, just keep us away from the lightning.

We found Hadès, who was apparently waiting for us. He looked at us intently, and we felt a great demonic magic emanating around him. I noticed that he was staring more at... Wendy? I felt something was about to happen, and suddenly he screamed. I felt something rush toward her, and I was about to jump in as a shield, but she disappeared before I could intervene. There was silence as we saw Wendy's clothes fall, but her body was nowhere to be seen...

Natsu and Me (transforming into my hedgehog form): WHERE DID WENDY GO?!?!

My eyes turned blue, and my quills were glowing with electric wires running through my body. I had decided to call it the Thunder Aura. He had just taken the person who gave me the will to live, and I wasn't ready to let him live.

??? : Don't worry, I'm fine. (We all looked up) she said reassuringly.

It was Horlogium, one of Lucy's spirits, who had the form of a clock and appeared only when Lucy was in great danger. It was stuck to the ceiling, facing us.

Lucy: Horlogium? What are you doing here?

Horlogium: My internal clock warned me that someone was in danger, so I immediately appeared.

Lucy (angry): But why didn't you appear when I was in danger??

Me (calming down): But why are only her clothes here?

Horlogium: I wouldn't have had time to save her if I had teleported her with her clothes.

Gray: So you mean Wendy is naked right now?

Horlogium: Aaaaaah! She screamed, embarrassed.

Me (bleeding): Horlogium, turn around!

Horlogium: No way!!! She yelled, embarrassed.

Horlogium: Fortunately, I kept some clothes that might be useful to you, but unfortunately, I have to leave. Goodbye.

She disappeared, and we saw Wendy fall from the ceiling into my arms, now wearing a new outfit, in a wedding-style dress.

Me (smirking): Well, what an honor to be your savior, Madam State Minister.

I said this because her outfit looked like something politicians usually wear. I couldn't help but laugh as I saw her turn completely red. I set her down, and we prepared for the final battle.
