Chapter 10: A look into the past

Two days go by and Ace was slowly recovering. Rage was with Celestia and Luna who were on their way to meet Ace once they go word from Fluttershy he had awoken. Pen and Ash were tagging along as well hoping to see how Ace is doing.

The four enter the cottage to see Ace sitting on the couch slumped over a bit with a cup of tea from Fluttershy the rest of the mane 6 stood looking at him. "Do I really have to drink this?" he asks

"It's a herbal tea it will help soothe the pain from the few attacks Rage hit you with." Fluttershy says reluctantly Ace sips it before noticing the four.

"Rage, Pen, Ash I see you brought Celestia and Luna too." Ace says

"Yeah but there is a reason they are here." Rage sighs

"Ace you harmed Princess Twilight and that upsets me greatly." Celestia says

"I am sorry… I had no control at the time. You see what happened was…"

After a long explanation Celestia looked at Ace "Hrm… unfortunately we would need proof of this." She says "But to do that the only option would be tap into his memories."

"But there's a problem there." Rage says

"What problem?" Celestia asks

"The issue is the spells from Equestria that are used to restore or view memories are only effective on ponies. Also the Chaos energy within Ace makes it impossible to break into his memories unless a similar force is used…."

"That's it!" Twilight says

"What's it?" Rage asks

"Rage remember the portal I used to return to Canterlot High when my friends needed help with the sirens?" Twilight asks

"Yeah… oh!" Rage says catching on "We could reprogram it to enter a recreation of Ace's memories!"

"Are you sure that will work?" Celestia asks

"It's a long shot but I think Rage and I can figure something out." Twilight says

"Hold up! There is no way I am doing this!" Ace yells

"It's that or execution." Luna says

"Fine…." Ace sighs

Palace of Friendship

Ace was laying on a couch with a helmet thing strapped to his head he was looking at it. "So will I be awake for this?" he asks

"No." Twilight says

"In order for us to safely reform your memories into a universe of their own we need you to be sleeping." Rage says adjusting one last wire "It's set to go!" he says

"How will we be able to see what's happening?" Celestia asks

"On the large screen there you will be able to see what I will see" Rage says

"How?" Luna asks

"Chaos Sight." Rage says "I was able to link it and my Chaos Sight ability. Wasn't easy but I got it to work."

"Will this hurt?" Ace asks

"No you'll be asleep." Twilight says "Otherwise… yes very much so."

"Alright Lunar Relic go ahead." Twilight says as Rage inputs some commands into a computer console and grabs a lever

"Alright." He says casting a sleep spell soon Ace was out and Rage pulls the lever. With some sparks a portal soon opens and Rage looks into it. "Well let's go." He says to his Ponyville pals "Pen, Rez, Xage, Ash stay here and protect them."

The remaining eight walk into the portal and after a white glare they see a lush landscape before them. "Where are we?" Twilight asks

"Mobius." Rage says "But… this was eons ago."

"Theres Ace!" Pinkie Pie yells seeing the gray hedgehog walking and a blue hedgehog next to him

"And Nazo!" Christain growls leaping at the blue hedgehog but he passes right through him "Hay what gives!" he yells

"We can't alter Ace's memoires Christain we are only viewing them. It's like we aren't even here." Twilight says as Ace and Nazo look at each other with smiles

"You know Ace, life is good." He says

"Yeah." Ace says with a smile "Nazo you and I will be together always right?"

"Yeah." Nazo replies as the two look up at the night sky "You ever wonder why it is only our Emerald had two Chaos Beasts originate from it?"

"No, why do you ask?" Ace asks

"No reason." Nazo replies

"This must be back when Ace and Nazo were good brothers." Rage says "Who knew Nazo could be so calm."

"But that doesn't help us!" Rainbow Dash says

"You're right Rainbow Dash we need to go farther in time but how?" Twilight asks

"Like this." Rage says throwing a Chaos Emerald in the air and with a flash of light the group is transported to a later time date. This time Ace was seen looking at Nazo who was pure red,

"Nazo! Please you don't have to do this!" he begs "I don't want to hurt you!"

"Enough Ace!" Nazo yells "You don't know how much power I can get from finishing you off and now that time has come!"

"What happened to the Nazo I knew…. The Nazo I loved as a brother?!" Ace asks before avoiding a Chaos Spear

"Gone." is all Nazo said with an evil smirk,

"Fine…" Ace sighs with sorrow "I see how it is…" then Rage feels a familiar energy as he sees Ace gather the Chaos Emeralds and glow with energy. At the same time a blinding light forced the group of friends to cover their eyes and when they opened them they were in a wasteland of sorts

"Where are we now?" Rainbow Dash asks

"I have no idea…" Rage says

"Look!" Christain shouts pointing at a worn out Ace and Nazo. Both still super charged

"They are still fighting?" Twilight asks "But how long have they been at it?"

"Well based on the location of the stars compared to the last vision… 12 days." Rage says looking at the stars.

"Look at that!" Rarity points a hoof to three white beings who made a loud echoing voice

"Nazo the Hedgehog beast of Chaos, this has gone on long enough as punishment for your heinous crimes for the rest of time you will be imprisoned!" they say in an echoing voice as Nazo is ensnared in a red orb of Chaos Energy.

With the battle finally over Ace floated down to the ground exhausted from the fight. "It's…finally over." He pants

"Wow he looks tired." Applejack says

"I know I would be… being in such a powerful Chaos form for that long would really drain you." Rage says as the gods walk up to Ace.

"Ace you have fought well to defend yourself but know in order to keep Nazo from ever being awakened you must share his fate as well." The creatures say and without a word Ace is ensnared in an identical orb but of blue.

"This must have been when he was put to sleep after his battle with Nazo." Rage says before a light begins glowing

"Here we go again!" Fluttershy sighs before they find themselves in The Mystic Caves where they saw a blue orb of energy in a chamber,

"That's strange this is The Mystic Caves." Christain says "Why are we here?" he asks before they see another Rage poke his head in the chamber and walk in.

"Man these caves go on forever." He says looking around the chamber "But this looks like another dead end."

"Rage that's you!" Rainbow Dash

"Yeah, this is when I found Ace a awakened him." Rage says as they watch the other Rage look at the orb of energy

"Wait… this is what was making that Chaos Energy reading." He says walking up to it and tapping it. Then it flies around before glowing and Ace forms from the energy.

"Thank you for releasing me." He says "I am Ace the Hedgehog a Chaos Beast."

"Name's Rage." Is all the other Rage was able to say before the group has a Chaos Spear fly through them and sends them off once again like the times before. This time to The Everfree Forest where they saw the scene of Ace turn into the Chaotic Hell form.

Back on the other side Celestia looks on the monitor "Well it appears as if they were telling the truth." She says.

"Well I think we have seen what we need to." Rage says opening a gate back "C'mon" he says as they all walk through.

Celestia watches them get spat out of the small portal and then notices something. "Where is Rage?"

"What do you mean?" Twilight asks looking at the group who came out "He- not here?!" she yells

"Where is he?" Ash asks

"How should we know?!" Twilight replies panicking

As for Rage he wakes up in a dark area that looked very ominous. "Where am I?" he asks

"You know you shouldn't have entered Ace's memories." A dark shadow says from the ground

"Who are you?!" Rage yells "Show yourself!"

"Foolish young Guardian you don't know what you are getting yourself into right now as we speak I am growing stronger and soon Ace will be mine!" the voice chuckles

"Oh yeah?" Rage asks "Why don't you show your face!" Rage yells summoning his Blade of Chaos

"Did you really just summon your weapon?" the figure asks as it molds into a blob like hedgehog form which made Rage think of ace a bit. "You cannot harm me you don't have the balls."

"What do you want with me?" Rage asks

"All I am here to do is to make sure you stay out of the way." The mysterious figure chuckles "Besides after I am done with Ace I will need you…"

"Well that isn't going to happen!" Rage yells slashing at the glob knocking it back "Not if I have anything to say about it!"

"So what will you do then? Fighting me will get you nowhere! You foolishly entered this realm with no means of escaping except the link made by that stupid portal. But guess what it's gone!" the glob laughs

"Didn't I?" Rage smirks pulling out a Chaos Emerald

"A Chaos Emerald?!" the glob yells in disbelief

"Never leave home without one." Rage chuckles throwing it in the air and catching it "Chaos Control!" he yells and in a flash of light he was gone.

"Doesn't matter that only adds to what I will have to do… after Nazo can piss Ace off enough it will be all over!" the blob laughs

Palace of Friendship-Equestria

The group was frantically thinking on where Rage could have gone when he appears out of nowhere. "Rage!" Rainbow Dash cheers "Where were you?" she asks him

"I had to take a little detour." Rage says rubbing his head "Don't know what happened exactly."

"So Rage what did you guys see?" Ash asks

"Everything." Rage replies

"It was quite the tale." Luna says

Slowly Ace begins to wake up… "All done?" he asks standing up and the others nod before Ace bends down with a groan of pain

"Ace what's wrong?!" Pen asks

"R-Run." Ace says confusing them

"What do you mean?! Why?" Applejack asks as a shroud of energy covers Ace and he changes back to the Chaotic Hell form.

"Ah it's good to be back!" he laughs

"That voice…" Rage says

"Why Rage what a surprise I didn't expect to see you so soon… it's been what 5 minutes?" he laughs

"What have you done to Ace?!" Twilight yells in question

"Ace is no more… I am Spade the Hedgehog." Responds the now darkened hedgehog

"Guys get out of here." Rage says "I will handle this one myself."

"Rage are you sure?" Twilight asks and he nods "Well you heard him, let's go." She says as the others leave.

"Well, well, well trying to play hero are we?" Spade laughs as Rage summons his Blade of Chaos. "Well then you will die!" he yells but soon stops midway and a translucent Ace could be seen as if he was trying to stop it

"N-no I won't let you hurt my friends!" he says

"H-How can this be?" Spade yells in shock as he feels something pull at him and with a blinding light the two are separated with Ace passed out and Spade was panting before standing up. He looked just like Ace's Chaotic Hell form! "Very well…. Now that I am my own being killing you will be much more fun!" he laughs leaping for Rage with a claw extended but Rage dodges with a roll to the side.

"We'll see about that!" Rage yells countering with an Inferno Chaos Slash which sent Spade back a bit.

"Take this!" Spade yells throwing an arc of energy at Rage who puts up a shield to block it. It was just enough to do so but it shatters and Rage is then hit by a following Dark energy blast dealing a shocking amount of damage to him.

"What…the…hell…" Rage says gasping the wind knocked out of him

"That's right!" Spade laughs "Hell is just one mere minute away for you Young Guardian… good-bye." He laughs forming a ball of energy and shooting at Rage which forced a puff of smoke. Spade laughs maniacally as the smoke clears he stops and yells "Impossible!" there was Rage still intact and alive with The Chaos Emeralds around him.

"I'm not done…not like this!" Rage growls glowing

"How can you still be alive?!" Spade asks before looking to see the battered Ace who had cast a Life Chaos spell on Rage to heal him enough to survive.

"heh." is all that he could say before passing back out,

(Music: Open Your Heart (Generations Ver.)-Theme of Rage Chaotic the Hedgehog version 2~Crush 40)

The Emeralds then begin to circle Rage as he glows with energy. Soon they spread out and then Rage absorbs their power and a bright glow forces Spade to cover his eyes. When he could look again Rage was floating just off of the ground with a bright red flare of Chaos energy around him. His fur was bright red almost pink and his eyes closed then he opens then to show two bright amber eyes glowing with fury as that happens his spines and quills flare up and being flailing with energy. His clothing had changed to a white jacket with two red wavy stripes. His pants were now light gray shorts with two dark red side pockets like they had on cackies. His shoes were bright green with a black flame on the toe and in his hands still covered by his gray fingerless gloves was his Blade of Chaos. His inhibitor rings were no longer gold instead they were a pale green.

'This is insane… I have never seen anything besides a Chaos Beast with some much Chaos Power' Spade says as Rage takes his inhibitor rings off and the flare of energy grows making Spade look in more surprise at the sheer power Rage had just unleashed. "Hmph impressive…" he chuckles "now what would you call this transformation Guardian?" he asks

"I am…" Rage then warps to Spade and hits him with a Holy Chaos infused kick "True Chaos Unleashed Rage." He says with a smile

"Damn…he's strong." Spade says to himself "But without his inhibitor rings he can't stay that way for long." He smirks getting ready to counter but True Chaos Rage gave him no time as he was once again hit from behind with another kick this time he felt his Chaos Energy become drained. 'I am no match for him right now… not without all my power still recharging from the separation…' he thinks before landing and disappearing but not before saying "This isn't over!"

Rage then powers down and reattaches his Inhibitor Rings "Well that was a waste of my Unleashed modifier." He says as he walks over to Ace and puts his hand over it and it glows light green with Life Chaos and he gets up.

"Thank you Rage." He smiles

"I should thank you for giving me that heal before Spade could end it." Rage says

"It's nothing." Ace says "But…now what?" he asks as the others run back in and Rage is hugged by Rainbow Dash and Ace by Twilight.

"You're okay!" they both said to the one in their grip

"Why wouldn't we be?" they both reply

"We felt the surge of energies." Luna says

"We had feared the worst." Celestia adds

"So what do we do now?" Applejack asks

"We keep on waiting until we know what they are up to." Rage says

"But when will that be?" Rainbow Dash ask "I am ready to go kick their tails now!"

"Who knows…" Rage responds "It could be days…weeks… or maybe a month or two…" Rage then yawns loudly "But for now I need some rest." He says "Today was a real exciter you know?" he smiles softly

"Yeah." The others agree

Rainbow Dash & Rage's house—the next day

Rage and Rainbow Dash were sleeping in the bed with Rainbow cuddled up next to Rage as the sun comes up. Soon the light of the sun hits the two warming their faces causing them to wake up at the same time. "Morning Dashie" Rage says

"Morning Rage." She says as the two slide out of bed.

"So do the guys up in Cloudsdale have anything going on today?" Rage asks

"Well I know the Wonderbolts are holding a competition today it is supposed to be for recruitment for them and I was hoping we were free today so I could head up there with Scootaloo."

"Well as far as I know unless The Dark Legion decides to do something out of the blue we are free." Rage responds taking a brush and fixing his bedhead.

"Alright then it's settled want to come to?" Rainbow asks

"And pass up a chance of spending the day with my special somepony? I wouldn't have it any other way." Rage smiles as they walk out together.

"Hay you know what Scootaloo would love… to see you compete!" Rainbow Dash says with a grin

"I dunno Rainbow Dash…. I know I can fly fast and I have the Rainbolt but you and I both know I can have problems keeping control at high speeds." Rage replies

"Well if Scootaloo wants you to what do you say?" Rainbow Dash asks

"Then that's a different story." Rage says as they find the filly playing around on her scooter. The two land and are greeted with a smile from the young Pegasus "I bet you 20 bits she won't"

"Morning Rainbow Dash, Good morning Prince Rage." She smiles "What brings you here?"

"Well Rage and I were heading up to Cloudsdale for the Wonderbolts' flight competition today. We figured we would see what was goin' on." Rainbow says "We wanted to know if you wanted to tag along."

"Really!?" Scootaloo yells leaping with joy "Would I!"

"Well come on then!" Rage says crouching down for the young Pegasus to get on.

"Wait you mean…" Scootaloo says surprised Rage was going to let her ride on his back

"Why not?" Rage smiles

"Thank you!" she says leaping on to his back "You know what would be cool Rage?" she asks as they get in the air and were flying for a bit Rage turns his head to let her know he was listening "If you entered the contest!"

"I don't know kid." Rage says "I don't think I am quite that good yet…" he says still not too sure about the whole contest

"Please…" Scootaloo begs giving him puppy dog eyes.

Rage sighs 'Dammit please not the puppy dog eyes' he thinks looking back to see them. 'Cream if you weren't so good at them then I would be saying no still' he chuckles in his head remembering how Scootaloo's face looked so much like Cream's when she would beg him to read her a special book when he was helping out at the Library her mother ran. "Fine…" he sighs

"Yahoo!" Scootaloo cheers

"I owe you 20 bits Rainbow Dash." Rage says as they land "make sure to remind me after the competition."

"Oh don't worry I will." She says before looking at Scootaloo "Come on let's go find a seat." She says as they walk into the Cloudsdale Coliseum

As for Rage he went over to where Soarin was manning the registration. "Well morning Prince Burning Rage you thinking of signing up for the competition?" he asks

"Of course." Rage replies as Spitfire walks over

"So looking for some sporting excitement outside of your usual life huh Prince Rage?" she asks and Soarin hits her

"Spitfire get his name right he is royalty after all." He says

"It's alright, actually I prefer Prince Rage better." Rage responds "Since I was just called Rage my whole life." He smiles rubbing the back of his head remembering his childhood on Mobius.

"Alright well what title you looking for?" Soarin asks "Stunt or Racing?"

Rage thinks a minute and then decides "Racing." He says and the two Wonderbolts look at each other in surprise "Rage you know I am flying the racing right?" Spitfire asks

"Oh?" Rage asks "No I didn't"

"Well you see today's contest is to see who meets closely to who is best a speed and who is out best stunt flyer." Soarin says "Spitfire is our fastest flyer and our best stuntpony is Fleetfoot."

"Well then I look forward to the race Spitfire." Rage smiles

"Good luck Rage." She smiles back

Up in the stands Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo sit down after the Cloudsdale national anthem finishes and a gray Pegasus takes spot on the podium "Good morning Sports fans and Wonderbolts fans! Today we have the Wonderbolts annual Speed and Stunt contest to see who might be even better than the Wonderbolts themselves! Starting the day off with the stunts is Dumb Bell." He announces

"Ack Why do they have to start with the stunts first?" Scootaloo asks

"Well they tend to take longer and besides they know everyone wants to see who can beat Spitfire in the cross country race track they use every year." Rainbow Dash says "Nopony really cares as much on the stunts well not the ones here anyways. Those ponies tend to stay home and watch the live broadcast."

After about an hour they announce the winners of the Stunts with Fleetfoot winning by a hair. "And now fillies and gentlecolts the event you have all been waiting for… The Cross Country Race!" the gray Pegasus says as cannons shoot confetti and streamers "Today's contestants are Ditzy Doo, Bulk Biceps, Cloud Chaser, Lightining Dust, The Wonderbolts own Spitfire" As the names are announced each pony takes a lane in the start box.

"Where's Rage?" Scootaloo asks

"But wait there's one more… our last contestant is Equestria's own… Prince Burning Rage, our Prince of Unity!" the Pegasus announces and Rage takes the final slot in the box. "Not we all know this course but first put in your vote to who you think will win."

"Rage is going to win." Scotaloo says

"No way Spitfire will" Rainbow Dash says

"You wanna bet on it?" Scootaloo asks

"How much you got kid?" Rainbow Dash asks

"75 bits." Scootaloo smiles

"You're on!" Rainbow Dash smirks as they both put their votes in

"Alright here we go with 49% we have Spitfire as our winner and Rage in second with 48% now let's race!" the pony grabs a string and pulls it firing two more confetti cannons which two streaks dash through instantly. One blue, yellow and a smidge of red and the other was gray and red. Rage and spitfire were the first two out but Spitfire had a small head.

Ten minutes later

"Ha! See ya Rage!" Spitfire smiles as she catches to the final stretch with Rage nowhere in sight "I got this!"

"Well folks it looks like Spitfire is going to be our winner." The sportscaster pony says

"Yes!" Rainbow Dash cheers

"No!" whines Scootaloo

"Get ready to pay up." Rainbow smiles when a loud crackling was heard

"What in Celestia's name was that?" the sportscaster asks as they look to the corner before the final stretch to see a rainbow colored lightning bolt swing around the edge and pass Spitfire not even a second later and then crosses the finish line less than a second before Spitfire. "Who was that with that Rainbolt?" the Pegasus asks as they show a slow-motion replay of the bolt which was just slow enough to show Rage with a grin on his face "Well I don't believe it! It looks like the winner is Prince Rage by a fraction of a second!"

"Yes!" Scootaloo cheers

"NO!" Rainbow Dash whines

"Pay up!" Scootaloo says holding a hoof out

"Here I am a pony of my word." She says putting 75 bits into the young filly's hoof.

One hour later Rage and Rainbow Dash's home

Rage and Rainbow Dash enter the house with smiles on their faces from the fun they had. "That was fun Rage." Rainbow says "They way you bolted around in the end.

"Literally" Rage chuckles

"Of course." Rainbow smiles "Now you still owe me 25 bits."

"Oh right." Rage says handing her over what he owed with a kiss

"Oh you." She chuckles with a blush.
