If you want me to release the prequel, The Starrunner Terminals now, tell me in the reviews. If you have no idea what the prequel is about, read the description at the end of chapter 29.

The group continued to trek in the forest and there was little sunlight due to the trees blocking the sun. Finn was holding Lorina's disk as they were walking. "According to my calculations, the Gem of Light is still far away," she said. This only worsened the situation and Gumball groaned.

They group walked a little further when suddenly lasers zoomed by. "Oh great," said Gumball. The lasers continued to come and the attackers emerged from the forest which were several Kronosian warriors, Kronosian wolves, and ten Kronosian elite warriors. "Not them again," snarled Nicole. "Relax, remember that we've fought them a lot of times before?" reminded Sonic. After he said that, he and the rest of the group raced to fight the Kronosians.

Sonic spindashed them, Finn sliced through them, Jake squashed them, The Mane Six attacked, Spike shot fireballs a lot at the Kronosians, Julie-Su blasted them to bits while Mighty and Vector punched them high into the sky, Knuckles smashed them to bits, Saffron and Charmy destroyed the Kronosians by stinging them in their cores, Espio tossed ninja stars so precisely that it hit their cores, Rouge screw-kicked them, sending them flying into trees, Omega mowed down the Kronosians with machine gun fire but it took more firepower to penetrate the armor of the Kronosian elite warriors and Shadow destroyed the Kronosians with Chaos Spears.

After the fighting, the remains of the destroyed Kronosians all disintegrated. "That was nothing but an obstacle," said Sonic. "Yeah, and if Xanazor thinks that we're weaklings, he thinks wrong,"said Finn. "Don't forget about the mechbeasts," added Jake. "Speaking of mechbeasts, I wonder what will he send next," said Finn.

But right after he said that, a cloaked skeletal figure carrying a scythe emerged from behind the trees. "You just had to say it," groaned Rainbow Dash. "Doesn't look like much to me," said Sonic and then he spin-dashed the figure only for it to stick out its hand and slow down time and it easily dodged Sonic's attack and hit him right back to the group right before making time flow back to normal.

"It can control time?" remarked Twilight. The figure didn't respond and it jumped close to the group and unleashed a wave which slowed down time. Everyone tried to move to stop the figure but they were too slow thanks to the time flow and the figure easily defeated them all, using its scythe.

Omega stood up and fired rapidly at the figure but it only slowed down the flow of time in the field around it and knocked Omega offline with its scythe. But right after it, it was hit by a gun blast from Julie-Su. It turned and saw her and went to kill her with its scythe but was tackled to the ground by Knuckles. The two fought each other until the figure utilized its time manipulation and threw Knuckles off of it with ease.

Then the figure headed for the rest of the group who was recovering from its previous attack. The group all leapt to attack it only for it to slow down time and dodge their attacks very easily and it jumped up and took down each one with its scythe.

When it seemed that it took out each one of them, Silver suddenly hovered up to face it. The figure used its time powers but Silver was surrounded by his blue aura, making him immune to its time powers and flew to face off against it.

The figure's red eyes seethed with anger and it picked up its scythe to face off against the hedgehog right after disabling the field. It slashed toward him with its scythe but he dodged it and used his pyschokinetic powers to toss the figure against a tree. Angered, the figure created a portal behind it and punched into it and a portal appeared behind Silver and hit him in the back. The figure then used the portal attack again and once again Silver did not expect the attack but as it was preparing to use that attack again, it got struck by a rock and it saw that Gumball threw that rock at it.

Indignant at that, it created a portal and was about to strike its scythe into it when it was hit by a blast by Silver and went right through the tree, shattering it.

The figure recovered from the attack and went to face Silver and the two engaged in another fight.

While they were fighting, none of them noticed Shadow getting up and he saw the two fighting and put his energy into a Chaos Spear and used his might to throw it at the figure, which went clean through its body and destroyed a tree and Shadow fell unconscious after putting his energy into the spear.

The figure was destroyed by the attack and its body collapsed onto the forest floor and its scythe fell onto it as well and both disintegrated.

Silver floated down to the ground after the fight and went to his friends. "It was nice going there," said Sonic as he got to his feet. "How'd you manage that?" asked Rainbow Dash at him. "Something that my master taught me," he replied. They looked at the others who were also recovering but then several laser blasts zoomed by and several robotic roars sounded. "Not again," said Sonic.
