And the new OC Scarlet, by Broncogirl6 and for her, the OC Form didn't mean anything it was just the indicator for the form. Now let's begin!

Equestria—Rainbow and Rage's home

Morning dawns upon the two and slowly they get up and Rage looks out the small window "It's time…" he sighs

"Time for what?" Rainbow Dash asks him

"Time to head to The Dark World." He responds "The Dark Legion has drawn the last straw and the time for action is now."

"Are you sure Rage?" Rainbow Dash asks

"Yeah, I have waited enough and besides who knows how long we will have to look. My pal Xager told me that the fortress has moved… but he does not know where so we will have to find it." Rage says "Gather the others this is going to be a long trip."

"Alright Rage," Rainbow says as she rushes off.

Rage warps himself to The Palace of Friendship where he met Twilight. "Twilight, it is time."

"It is isn't it…" Twilight sighs

"When the others get here then we will go to the World of Darkness we have to find them and in order to do that we must search their own lands." Rage says

"But Rage are you sure that's a good idea?" Ace's voice comes from the entrance

"Ace," Rage says "You recovered quickly."

"As did you I see." Ace replies

"What do you mean Ace Rage wasn't hurt." Twilight says confused

"True but after my battle with Spade I lost a lot of my Chaos Energy and it needed to recharge but now I have it all back." Rage responds as the door opens and the rest pour in.

"Good we are all here." Rage smiles softly "Guys I hope you know why you're here." He looks at them and they nod

"But Rage why?" asks Applejack "Ain't goin to their world gonna just get us killed?"

"We won't have much time." Rage says "We can only be there for a maximum of one week. After that… unless we return our life force will begin to fade."

"Not if I can help…" a voice comes from the air as Nazo forms in the center of the room

"Nazo!" Twilight gasps

"Calm down I am not here to harm you I am here to help." Nazo says

"Likely story!" Rage yells leaping but Ace stops him

"Rage! No!" he grunts

"Ace get out of my way!" Rage yells

"I won't! Nazo is my brother at least hear him out!" Ace responds and Rage looks at him before lightening his stance with a nod.

"Why do you want to help us Nazo?" he asks

"Spade… that son of a bitch thinks he can waltz in and make a fool of me…" Nazo growls

(Flashback)

"Spade has no place here!" Nazo yells

"Is that so?" Spade asks leaping to Nazo in a split second "Then maybe that would change if I killed you!"

(End)

"He caught me off guard and Darkness threw me out thinking I was dead…" Nazo grunts

"Knowing the way Spade fought me… Nazo is more the likely telling the truth. Spade can land a punch even when I was in a True Chaos Form. He's strong and even Ace and I combined my not have a chance." Rage sighs "Now what is it you can do?"

"I can send us there in a way that prevents the affliction of the Dark Realm on you. After all if it did affect you then you'd never stand a chance against them, your powers would be drained too much." Nazo explains

"Well what are we waiting for?" Rainbow Dash asks "Let's go in there and kick some butt!"

Nazo opens a portal and the group enters it. After they appear on the other side Dark Spawns form everywhere "Damn… they must have caught wind to what I was doing." Nazo curses

"Leave this to me." Rage says throwing his hands up "Bladedancers attack!" he calls summoning Bladedancers that kill of the Dark Spawns but then are defeated in slashes of dark energy as Nix appears and Rage steps forward. As he does so a barricade surrounds the others

"Well it seem like we have some uninvited guests." He chuckles "My Rage you have grown since the last time we truly fought."

"I have you to thank for that." Rage smirks "In fact I have you to thank for everything. If it wasn't for you Icezer and Xage would have never been taken…. And I would have never followed them. That meant Dex would have never found me and my destiny would have never been revealed. I have trained for years to master Chaos all so I can rid the worlds of you and form the looks of it… it's about to pay off." Rage grins as Nix smiles

"Well it seems you are more observant then I thought…but here's my question to you…why did I take two nobodies like your brothers when I could have taken Sonic and Tails?" Nix asks "It was all my own doing… I planned to use that to force awaken your abilities as Guardian just so that I could force the darkness into you while you were young and unstable… but clearly that failed as now we stand here however my plan B did not… every time you use your Chaos Forms negative energy is formed as well and guess what… thanks to your battle against Spade… you have made your darkness." Nix laughs as a dark red hedgehog who looked like Rage appears "Rage, meet Dark Rage, Dark Rage meet Rage." He chuckles "I will leave you two to get to know each other." Nix laughs vanishing.

"Prepare to die Rage." Dark Rage says as he beams with dark energy and Rage summons his Blade of Chaos

(Music: Darkness of the Unknown~Kingdom Hearts II)

"Show me what you got!" Rage smiles as Dark Rage leaps and he blocks the attack and kicks Dark Rage back "Bureijingukaosu!" he calls as his sword releases to a more common blade like design. "No way I am gonna lose!" Rage yells blocking another attack from Dark Rage who then flash steps behind Rage and hits him from behind.

"That all you got Rage?" he asks as the red hedgehog stands up

"I am not even warmed up!" Rage responds forming a glow of energy "Now Burn Bureijingukaosu!" he yells as the sword morphs to a dragon wing like blade with the hilt remaining and Rage's right arm scaling up as if it was armored.

"What is that?" Icezer asks "I have never seen Rage do that before!"

"What have you done?" Dark Rage asks

"This is my fully released Blade of Chaos Bureijingukaosu, or Blazing Chaos that strongest of all the Blades of Chaos! This weapon is what darkness fears…" he replies pointing it at Dark Rage "It's over!" he says drawing it back and running at Dark Rage who counters it perfectly.

"Too predictable!" he scoffs

'damn…' Rage thinks 'he seems to know my every move!' Rage then blocks an attack from Dark Rage 'we are equally matched even with my fully released Bureijingukaosu what do I do?'

"Rage!" Twilight yells as he notices the barrier shock his friends

"Guys!" he yells as Dark Rage leaps in front of him before he could run to them.

"Yeah, I guess we should have told you if you take too long your friends here well they will be gone!" he laughs before looking back at Rage.

"Well…" Rage grunts "Time to stop messing around."

"Please what will you do? We are equals you and all of your chaos powers are mine as well Rage Chaotic and it makes you too predictable!"

"Well try this on for size!" Rage says as he extends an arm and a strange energy flows on to his arm then spreads through his body. As it passes his neck he grew sharp spiny looking neck fur and his head grew more quills. His fur was darkened and his eyes glow amber but were still emerald green underneath.

"Who's this?" Dark Rage asks "What's this forms name?"

"I am…" he responds in a gruff voice as his arms from into blades "Blood Rage." He says dashing at high speeds slashing at his opponent who keeps dodging to the best of his ability but soon he gets stabbed in the chest.

"Ack!" he gasps as Rage removes the blade hand and Dark Rage coughs up blood before Rage turns his arm back to normal and reaches into Dark Rage's chest making his grunt again before Rage pulls out his heart which was still beating in his hand. "No…" Dark Rage begs looking at his heart in Rage's hand blood seeping from it "p-ple…" he was unfortunately unable to finish as Rage squishes the heart in his hand making blood spurt on him and the ground around him.

(Music end)

Rage powers down and uses some magic to clean himself before breaking the barricade on his friends and helping Fluttershy, and Rarity who had taken the most hits from the shocks up. "Are you guys okay?" he asks

"Yeah…thanks." Rainbow Dash says

"So now what?" Ace asks

"Why don't we ask around?" Christain suggests before a red fox comes out of nowhere and stops by them obviously it was a female. Over her left eye was a scar along with a patch of white. Her hair was done up in a ponytail. On her neck was a spiked choker. She had on a leather jacket that was unzipped to show a gray T-shirt. On her hands was a pair of black fingerless gloves which were put up in a battle ready position. Bellow that was a pair of green shorts and orange sneaker. Her most distinctive feature was the fact like Miles she had not one but two tails.

"C….can you help me?" she asks panting "th…they're..after me" she looks to see Dark Spawns advancing after her

"I got this one." Icezer says his hand glowing light blue "Polar Wind!" he yells as a gust of wind freezes the dark spawns into bitter ice before they fall down and shatter to millions of bits and shards.

"Thanks…" the fox sighs "I was fighting just a few then more and more showed soon I was out numbered and ran. I was lucky I ran into you guys. The name's Scarlet the Fox."

"Well I am Rage Chaotic the Hedgehog." Rage says then points out his pals "This is, Ace, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Christain the Hedgehog, Axel the Hedgehog, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Lunar Relic, Nazo, Chip and my brothers Iceer and Xage Chaotic the Hedgehogs" he introduces each of them.

"Rage Chaotic as in the Chaos Guardian?" she asks

"How did you know that?" he replies

"I overheard Eggman talking about you one time when I was one of his damn lab rats." She says "You're a hero aren't you so what brings you all here?"

"The Dark Legion." Icezer replies

"They are a group that has been causing trouble in Mobius and Equestria which we thought we defeated but they are back." Twilight adds to Icezer's explanation

"What about you? Why are you here?" Ace asks

"Well I was following this man who had taken a laser from me which I stole from Eggman. I got it back but it's busted." She says "He was large and wearing some kind of black coat then he called those beasts on me and well you know the rest." Scarlet responds

"Did he smell of alcohol by any chance?" Rage asks and she nods "That would have been Noah, he's one of the Dark Legions lower members."

"Lower?" she asks

"Well they have levels based on their power, the strongest are their Dark Masters. In fact from the sound of it he probably was following orders from one of them." Rage explains as they begin walking

"So you are looking for them?" she asks and they nod "Can I join you guys? I want to show them a thing or two for messing with my stuff!"

"The more the merrier." Rage shrugs "you guys okay with that?" he asks but no objections were thrown "Alright Scarlet," he says "You can come along. Real quick are you good at anything in particular?" he asks,

"Why would you want to know?" she replies

"Each of us have our skills." Twilight says "I am the bookworm who can get all the info we need on certain things. Icezer is good with stealth. Xage is a gifted engineer along with Rage. Ace is good with battles and using Chaos as well as Rage. Applejack is good with the muscle stuff, Fluttershy's a good medic, Rarity is good with keeping everyone's clothing nice and tidy. Rainbow Dash is an amazing scout. And then Rage is kind of our leader you could say, he knows this place better than anyone else besides Christain who is our other darkness expert. Rage is skilled at fighting, Chaos use and magic he is quite the unique guy. Then pen is…well I don't know much one her yet but she is useful!"

"Twilight that's enough." Rage says before turning to quill as they walk along the forest path "The other thing about me is I hate being in the spotlight. I don't like boasting and hate others boasting about me and my abilities or accomplishments."

"Makes sense so where are we headdin'?" she asks

"Right now we don't know." Ace replies
