Part 1: By fate or chance
Running and breathing heavily. That's what Maggie has been doing for quite a long time. Ever since she got close to this city all she's been doing is running from these people who have been trying to attack her. If it wasn't for the magic that she has, she'd have died. The echidna manage to make it into town, but now had to play the hiding game in order to lose the guards that have been chasing her ever since. She looked out from an alleyway into the street, and found a couple of guards around the place. "Damn, this could get tricky..." Maggie mumbled.

A light blue mouse sitting near the alley stretched and hid behind a garbage can, looking at what the echinda was doing.

"Ack! No no no no no NO!" Xai yelled as he was pursued by guards. Cerberus hovered along beside him, and Flare was dashing along a nearby building. The trio ducked into the alley.

A red and yellow hedgehog had quickly jumped up and grabbed a ladder that was partially hanging down from a balcony. He ascended it quickly, jumping on top of a building so he could both hide and observe what was going on below him.

Maggie looked over to the trio with a confused look on her face. "The hell are you doing here?"

"The same could be said for you.." A lime gren wolf with a double colored tail composed of lime green and azure blue retorted to Maggie.

Ray slightly came out from his hiding spot, moving to the group.

"What do you think? Playing the clarinet? We were running from those strange people!" Xai replied to Maggie.

The red and yellow hedgehog quickly scaled down the building, landing beside Maggie.

Xai and his comrades held a combat stance. "You again?!" Xai yelled.

The red and yellow hedgehog laughed. "Me again? Are you surprised?" He asked sarcastically.

"To be entirely honest, nope. But seriously. The heck are you doing?" Xai replied.

"Shhh!" Maggie shushed the group. "For the love of light you're gonna get us caught!" The echidna looked around. "Okay, we need to get out of here, really quickly. We're gonna have to do something about some of the guards around, or we're going to have to sneak out. I think if we get to the Lion's Pride Inn, we might be able to find some help."

Ray walked and peered out the alleyway to the street. He saw guards around them.

The red and yellow hedgehog lowered his voice to a whisper. "Running from some...people." He replied. He looked at Maggie. "Lead the way, cutie." He said with a smirk.

Cerberus' voice sounded in Zerofuse's head. ''Do you call every woman you meet cute?! ''he exclaimed.

Mars was busy deciding on wether or not he should take his chances.

The echidna rolled her eyes and looked back out of the alley. "The Lions's pride inn is just a couple of blocks south from here." Maggie said. "If we sneak up onto the rooftops we might be able to get to the inn with no problems."

"Great." Xai said. He immediately scaled the building, up to the rooftops. Flare simply stuck to a wall and walked up it. Cerberus floated upward.

Ray climbed up the wall.

Zerofuse looked at Cerberus. "I flirt around. Once I find a girlfriend, I'm more uh...uh...faithful." He said, lowering his voice after every word. He was afraid of being heard and deemed nice.

"Sure you are." Maggie told Zerofuse, aimed her hand at the ground, and jumped to the rooftops.

Once at the top, Ray looked around for a route to get to Lions' Pride Inn.

Zerofuse replied in a more defensive and irritated voice. "You don't know me. I've had one girlfriend. Anyway, what do you care?" Zerofuse growled a bit.

On top of the roof, a strange creature waited. It appeared to be an albino Crimson Wisp, however the three tentacles on its underside were much longer than normal, and two other, shorter tentacles sprouted from its sides.

"What a pain.." Mars said as he scaled the building and looked around for the Lion's Pride Inn. Once he found it he started jumping across rooftops in order to get to it, electricity arcing off his fur as he did so. "Whoevers chasing you guys might come after me.. I'd rather not deal with it." Mars though to himself.

The creature noticed something behind it. It was a guard that had climbed the building. The Crimson Wisp-similar creature turned and blew the guard backwards with a bolt of powerful electricity from one of its tentacles. It then hovered into the air and headed towards the others.

Maggie smirked towards Zerofuse and winked. "That's the thing; I don't." She turned around and looked to the wisp creature and the wolf. "Things I never thought I would do today..." She mumbled. "So, who exactly are you?"

The wisp creature responded. "I am Gigawatt! I surpass all other Wisps!"

The wolf just shrugged. "The name is Mars, I prefer to enjoy the scenery but with people chasing me I'm guessing that won't be possible." Mars said with a sigh.

"I am currently pursued for unknown reasons. I have calculated that the most safe route, however humiliating, shall be to accompany you and your comrades." Gigawatt said.

Zerofuse sighed, slightly annoyed by Maggie's remark. He shrugged it off and looked at Gigawatt. "Wait wait wait. Pursued by whom?" He asked.

Gigawatt pointed a tentacle at the knocked-out guard. "More like that fool."

"So you're going to come with us?" Maggie asked. "Well, alright but just so you know...I'm an elemental..."

"An elemental? Of what sort?" Gigawatt curiously asked.

Zerofuse lit a flame on his finger, demonstrating his powers without having to speak.

Ray blinked and wondered what an elemental was.

"I'm an arcane elemental." Maggie said.

"I command the great power of electricity! I have minor light powers as well, but they only extend to infusing my electricity with light energy." Gigawatt said.

Xai lifted his hat to show everyone the spike of ice growing from his head. "Ice elemental here!"

Flare generated a small fireball in her hand, showing that she was a fire elemental.

Ray made an ice spike form on his hand, showing he was an ice elemental.

Zerofuse sighed. "Are we going to sit around and show off? Or can we get to our damn location?" He said, his voice getting groggy with exhaustion.

"Wait, you're all elementals?" Maggie asked. "No wonder they're so many here! They're-"

A couple of guards somehow managed to get on top of the roof. "They're over here!" One called out.

"Uh..." Maggie started. "Run." She turned and ran across the rooftops towards the south.

Zerofuse smirked. "I got this." He said, turning to the guards. He shot some fireballs at them, trying to kill them off so they wouldn't be followed.

Ray followed Maggie and ran.

Xai, Cerberus, Gigawatt, and Flare ran across the rooftops. "Knock them out and get over here!" Xai yelled to Zerofuse.

"Let me do it." Mars said as he called down lightning to strike the guards, not really paying attention to how much voltage he put into the lightning as he followed Maggie. "The wisp isn't the only one who's a lightning elemental ya know."

"Upstart." Gigawatt muttered.

Mars heard Gigawatt thanks to his canine ears. "Can the peanut gallery keep the commentary on the down low please?" He asked in an offhand manner, as if he were talking to a spoiled child.

Zerofuse's fireballs were mixing with Mars' lightning, creating a devastating mix of elements. "Alright. That's enough. Roll out." He said, easing up on his attacks.

"Yeah, that should take care of anyone pursuing us. Hopefully it will delay them as well." Mars agreed as he stopped shooting lightning and kept moving.

Zerofuse nodded and followed behind Mars.

Maggie led the group over the rooftops till she stopped at a blue roofed building. "This is it." She said. "We need to get in there, and find some people to help us." She dropped to ground and entered the dimly lit building, filled with several shady characters all about. "Ugh, it smells awful in here." She grumbled.

Mars jumped down in a similar manner to Maggie and followed her in. "You're telling me, I swear it reaks of urine, alcohol and desperation... Kinda like back home." Mars said in a whistful tone.

Ray jumped down and walked in as well, looking for people he knew were in there.

Xai's trio dropped down inside. Gigawatt grabbed onto a wall with his three long, mutated tentacles and clambered down.

Zerofuse chuckled at Mars' remark. He lit a dim flame on his finger and put it up to his nose, the smell of fire overpowering the stench.

Before Maggie even had the chance to do anything in the pub, a grey mobian wearing a white jacket and black pants approached. On his belt was an odd looking silver rapier with what looked like a colorful revolver above the handle. "Excuse me." He said in a slow, meticulous voice. "Would you happen to be Margot Chrome and company?"

"Yes..." Maggie said. "I'm Maggie Chrome."

The grey mobian smiled maliciously, looking over the entire group, particularly Mars and Zerofuse. "Interesting..." He said.

Zerofuse looked at the gray mobian. "And why does it bother you?" He asked, a fireball in both hands.

Mars looked at the man, observing his every movement down to the twitches in his facial muscles as small black sparks started arcing off of his hands.

Ray looks at the man, wondering who he is.

Time Spinner watched how Zerofuse and Mars both looked ready to fight and smiled. "I really do hope you try something." He looked back to Maggie. "You see, my dear, I am a chronomancer, I walk the timeways, consult the time vortex, I can see the life of anyone I walk by, everything and anything that can happen to them I see." He sighed. "Here's where things happen to get complicated. Right here is a fixed point in time, in which I am here and your group is not. No matter how I look at the time stream, you all shoud not be here. No matter what time stream I look at, some of you are dead, and the others are gone, in this time stream, none of you should be alive, but here you are." He looked around and grimaced. "As a chronomancer I have to deal with that, and make the call to decide whether I destroy you, or help you."

Zerofuse heard the word destroy lightly. "Destroy? Heh. I wish." He said, his balls of fire getting slightly bigger.

Cerberus hissed. ''Time... I too can view it, being based off of Silver's DNA. We should not be here. We should not exist. But here we are. We persist against all logic. ''Cerberus' voice sounded in everyone's head.

"Yes, destroy." Time Spinner said. "But...it always come down to the same question. Are you here by fate, or by chance?"

Zerofuse shrugged. "Does it matter?" He asked, not really having an answer.

Ray shrugged at the question.
