I felt inclined to ask so I did. "Hey Extreme... when did ya get into extreme gear?"
"Well, I lived at Opas for quite some time, and my dad always used to take me to the competitions to watch them. After watching a few, I was inspired to try and do it myself. My dad repaired extreme gear in CrystalCall which is the main city in Crystalania. He taught me how to ride an extreme gear, the inspiration started when I was about 5." He seemed happy that I had taken an interest in his passion.
"When did you meet Dusk?"
"Oh, I met Dusk when I was...." He paused to think about it "10 I would say? What about you Dusk?"
"It was 10 because I remember you being attacked by Dregolas. You came up to ask me whether I was ok, and then he attacked you."
"Oh yeah..."
"Soon after, Dregolas accepted that we were friends, and eventually, he trusted you, and then didn't mind you ebing round. It was round about 14 that we got 'interested' in each other" Dusk explained to everyone, but Extreme mostly.
"Yeah I remember"
"Where did you and Extreme meet?" I just felt like asking questions.
"We meet at....." Dusk now stopped to think "It was at Berinstat, since Extreme told me his father had told him to go to here since CrystalCall was being attacked by, some evil maester."
"Evil Maester?"
"Yeah, The Maester Crystalline, was locked up for attempting to kill the main Maester. She thought she could get into power easier. She's still alive, actually." Dusk reminised.
"Any ideas where she is now?"
"In her own place she built, near the Petronian Plains, it's called Uranium, I believe" Dusk informed me.
"She even said, that she was going to destroy the world by bringing two people from the past to the future."
I paused. No.... We all paused.
I looked at Spear. Spear looked at me.
"But it's supposedly a rumour." Dusk added, breaking the silence that drifted round us.
"Good... I don't want to be someone who was summoned here to destroy everything"
"Me neither" Spear intervened.
Extreme changed subject. "Coming into Opas Port"
"Just focus for the race Extreme. And do ya best" Dusk hugged Extreme and then we all got off the boat. Power Demon behind us.

It was packed as we walked around all the ports. I was quite excited as I had never seen this type of sport in my life. "Extreme.... where do we go?"
"Well first, we go meet all other competitors, say our respects for each other and we pray that everyone does well, after that, we go to the main office for me to sign in, and we are shown to our... ahem, I mean my locker room, where I can tune up my extreme gear a bit, and get fixed up" He explained walking beside me.
We made it to one port. "This here are the CrystalCall Crusaders, a group that are pretty good at extreme gear, they're a group, but they go it alone individually." One CrystalCall Crusader walked up to Extreme.
"Lets hope for a good match." He shook Extreme's hand.
"Same to you, lets have a good race" The man left Extreme.
"Everyone's so pleasant" I mumured.
"Because if any wrong is done, Xandos, goes after ya, all part of punishment, and so, if we all be nice to each other, we hope that he leaves, for good" Extreme explained to me.
"Shall we meet others?"
"No need" Dregolas entered the conversation.
"Huh why not?" Spear looked up at the dragon warrior/ guardian of Dusk.
"It seems the CrystalCall Crusaders and Extreme are the only ones who turned up"
Everyone was shocked.
"Why? Surely there must be others?" Dusk reassured.
"This year seems bone dry, maybe not enough interest, or maybe people are not bothered this year" Dregolas had his reasons.
"Well, lets go and get inside before the crowds start" I hinted. "I get kinda claustrophobic."
"Well, I guess." Extreme lead the group inside the building after making it through crowds of people.
We walked up to the desk, and Extreme grabbed the pen, and then speedily signed his name in the designated box.
"Room is 17B in the western block"
"Right, thank you" Extreme said to her.
I walked with the group up the stairs to the left of the main hall. Extreme stopped outside a door that said 17B on it. He pushed the door open and was faced with benches, lockers, and tools lined up on a bench. "Awesome" Everyone came in. Dregolas stood next to the door, incase anyone tried to get in. Dusk sat on the bench and recouperated from teh arduous climb of stairs. Me and Spear sat next to each other, talking about Mystico and Quazon, Dusk was listening in loosely, and Extreme had set his extreme gear on the workbench and was busily upgrading it and fine tuning things.
"Hey Extreme, hope you have a good race out there" Spear said to Extreme, the said hedgehog looked round and briefly smiled while trying to unhook a speed chord.
"Yeah, I'll try, the CrystalCall Crusaders are dead hard, and I'd need a miracle to beat them"
"Try is the key word in your second to last previous sentence Extreme" Spear joked.
"Yeah, yeah"
Seems Extreme and Spear were getting on. I was happy.In the back of my head, I did wonder where Power Demon was though.

If you are reading this story, badger me with PM's to make keep doing this sotry. I am determined to, because this is one that I really wanna finish!
--------------------------------
Extreme had finished with all his upgrades. "Yep, race is about to start, and I'm ready to go out."
"Ok then, we'll be in the stands Extreme... near the northern stairs" Dusk informed him.
"Ok, I'll meet you in here afterwards" Extreme went out the door that led to the extreme gear track.
Spear, Dregolas, Dusk and I walked out the door to the main hallway and then took the nearest stairs to the seats. We then walked along aisles until we got to the northern stairs, where we said we would be. Spear and I sat together and Dusk and Dregolas sat next to each other. We were altogether though. "Look!" Dusk pointed. "There's Extreme!" Spear squinted to look. "Yeah! I see him!" He confirmed.
"Dusk, please be a bit quieter" Dregolas asked in his almost inaudible voice.
"Oh sorry Dregolas." I had earlier found out that Dregolas didn't like loud sounds. Maybe it was a dragon warrior thing.
We heard the people on the loud speakers defining the course and talking about the racers. They seemed to want this guy called Reginald to win, they didn't really care about Extreme, he was just there according to them.
After the race the group and me were back in the waiting room. Extreme came back in with a sad look across his face. "I'm sorry guys, I only came 3rd, that Reginald guy was good, I just couldn't get round him"
"Hey Extreme, it's ok, 3rd is still good, it's the top three!" Dusk attempted to cheer him up.
"Nah.. it's awful, my dad always told me that winning was the only option, I feel like a total failure." I took a stand.
"Hey Extreme! You tried your best, and in this world, like any other, your best is the ONLY thing you can do. You're better than some extreme gearists I know. Heck, you're probably the best extreme gearist I know!" I hoped this would cheer him up, and fortunately, it did.
"Thanks Amy"
"Hey no prob" I replied sitting down on the bench.
"It was actually a photo finish for 2nd, but the other guy just got there before you, by a millisecond"
"Yeah, I really pushed myself on that final lap, all my strength, all my speed, all my determination!"
Everything was interuppted by a smash and rumble. "What was that?"
"It seems the stadium is being attacked" Dregolas loudly roared.
"By what?!" Spear asked confused.
"Fiends!" Extreme blurted.
"We must terminate them immediately, before any damage is done" Dregolas ran out the door leading to the stairs onto the balconies, where the rows of seats were. The rest of us were following him loosely.
"It's a bird fiend!" A man shouted while running away from said fiend.
"One of the strongest known in Crystalania" Dregolas told us.
Extreme jumped down and hopped on his extreme gear. "It's show time!" A battle broke out as soon as Dregolas and I had gotten down there. Spear and Dusk acted as backups.
We were too engrossed in fighting the flying creature that we didn't notice another one come out of nowhere and capture Dusk in it's sharp talons. It took flight. "Extreme!!" She shouted. Extreme snapped his head round. "Dusk!"
"Extreme, you save Dusk, we'll take care of this thing" I told him. Extreme nodded, understanding the plan before racing off after the kidnapper. "I'll take his place." Spear ran up. "Spear strike!" My grey furred friend called as he shot three plasmatic spears at the creature. I followed up with a jump into the air, and a smash over it's head with my crystal sword. I then swiped at it's neck a few times. Dregolas used a special skill that I had never seen before, it copied the creatures last move. He then used this wind attack and inflicted some massive damage on it. It could hardly fly anymore. I jumped up again and ran down it's back while delivering stabs into it. I then hopped off and let Spear do the final move with a more powerful spear strike. Before he could fire the bird was already down. "But I didn't attack."
"Neither did we" Dregolas commented.
"No, it was I" A mechanical voice said. When the fiend had disappeared we were facing a blue robot, that looked strong and heavily built up.
"I am Machephoros! Ex-robot soldier of the CrystalCall army!" He introduced himself.
"Why are you here?"
"I shall tell you in due course." He then lifted up an arm and shot two missiles at the creature that had captured Dusk. It went down and disappeared, which made Dusk fall. I saw Extreme catch Dusk safely and bring her to solid ground. "You are strong" I confirmed to myself.
"I am but an ex solider, so I will naturally be adept for fighter combat" He walked sluggishly towards us. "You remind me... of someone.." His red neon eyes looked at me. "A man... named... Oreon"
"No!..." I stood back. "You..."
"Amy whats wrong?" Spear asked.
"He knows my father!"
"Yes... I do"
"And you... your father.." He pointed at Spear. "Lance was his name, was it not?"
"No way!"
"Both served in the CrystalCall army. I worked with them for the ten years I was in service. I was asked to travel with them, to find the cause of Xandos, never did. Lance was a summoner, and Oreon was a melee fighter"
"How can you know our fathers?!" Spear and I asked at the same time, a bit perplexed by this sudden turn of events.
-------------------------------------------
Just like the original, I'll develop the father thing a bit more.
Hey, be thankful that I UPDATED!

Mach continued. "Oreon was good man, and whenever Lance or I was down, he would always help us. Lance was the same, both were good allies with each other. It seems to show in their children" Spear and I smiled at each other while listening to the blue robot fighter.
"Both were strong and determined, heck, we all were, we all were curious to find the cause of Xandos."
"How come you never found it?" I asked
"My memory isn't too well at the moment, but I do remember them saying, they wanted me to find you both, and protect you against the laws that you may come in contact with. Some are very strong. Oreon and Lance both have a message, for their children respectively. Oreon says, to you Amy, keep your chin up, stay strong... and Lance says to you Spear... well actually, both said exactly the same thing, they don't want you to give in to the unlawful powers of darkness."
"Thanks Mach"
"You are welcome. Now. I wish to join you on your quest, whatever it may bee. I am in debt to your fathers, and said I would keep you safe."
"I don't know what we're searching for" Spear said. "I think Power Demon knows."
"Show me to this person you call 'Power Demon'"
The rest of the group including Mach and I walked back to the ship, where Power Demon was waiting. "Where have you been?" Power Demon spouted from the top of the ship, where the bridge conjoined the port to the vessel.
"We found someone who knew our fathers" Spear and I explained.
"Thats no reason, come on the ship's going soon" We all walked up the plank and onto the ship.
Mach took his chance and piped up to talk to Power Demon. I was watching from afar.
"So? You are Power Demon" He started.
"Yeah... and?"
"Supposedly, you know the objective of this quest"
"Yeah, we're going to find the cause to defeat Xandos, and bring about the peaceful age."
"The quest, I never finished. In that case. I would like to join your team"
"Why?"
"I swore to Oreon and Lance that I would protect their children. Spear and Crystal Amy. That is why I want to join your group"
"Suit yourself."
I smiled at the verdict of the conversation. I looked up and saw Extreme swinging on the mast. "Hey Extreme, you'll break the mast if you continue like that"
"Aww... Amy, I'm only having fun!" He called down to me.
Dusk now came in. "Extreme! Get down here now, before you hurt yourself"
"My feet are on Turbine, I won't hurt meself!"
"Now!" Wow, Dusk sure could control Extreme. The said brown hedgehog floated down, with a pouty sulk on his face.
Spear laughed at Extreme who just gave the grey one an evil glare.
I looked out to the water. My father... hearing about him made me swell inside. I missed him lots, as he was the only one I had for most of my childhood. My mum died when I was about 3, and my dad took over raising me. "He didn't fail" I then remember him disappearing. Without a trace. No idea where he had gone. I was about 10 when that happened. But now, I knew that he didn't die. He was still alive. Mach was my only source of knowledge for knowing about my dad. I could see Spear was happy too, but he was just showing it in his own way. A way only he knew. 'The Way of The Plasmatic Powerhouse' was what he called it. Weird name I know, but that was Spear for ya. I looked down below the oceanic depths. My eyebrows quirked. I could see the shadow of something, but it was hard to know what it was. I shook it off, thinking it was just a relatively large fish.
But then the boat started rocking. "Whoa, these waves gettin' choppy or what?" Extreme blurted out as he slipped across the deck a bit.
"I just think it's dumb-minded fish that wants to play" Spear suggested.
"I don't think it's a fish" Dusk looked over the side.
"What could it be then?"
"I dunno, I just don't think it's a fish"
"But only fish swim under water..." Wrong answer.
"Could be a seal, a whale, a dolphin, and they aren't fish, they're mammals" Dusk corrected him.
"My mistake" Spear sweat-dropped.
The rumbling got bigger...
"Geez, somebody, whatever it is sort it out!"
"I think it might be a giant squid." Dregolas commented.
"It doesn't look like a squid" I looked over the side. The shadow I saw got bigger... then a bit more bigger. "Whatever it is.. it's getting bigger!"
"Huh?" I was still leant over the side and I looked back. Suddenly a big waterfall of water splashed over the boat.
"Waaaaa!!!" This big white tentacle, with suckers on launched itself at me, and then wrapped around my form. Binding me, attempting to make me lose air.
"Amy!" Spear screamed. The said hedgehog charged up plasma and shot it at the long arm. But it was weirdly evaded. The tentacle recoiled, going under the water again, taking me with it.
Under the water I could see it. It was huge, with over 15 large tentacles. It was clinging to the bottom of the boat. I couldn't hold my breath for much longer, as the grapple around me was getting tighter. I then looked up to see a splash. Something was swimming down to me. I then realized it was Spear. He used plasma attacks on the tentacle, burning it. I was swung around, since the beast had felt pain. I saw myself heading towards the boat. I collided with it. I faintly saw Spear swimming over, then I blacked out from the damage due to me smashing into the boat.
I opened my eyes and saw mostly blurs. I coughed up water and my vision focused. "You ok Amy?" Extreme asked, towering over me.
"What happened?" I asked, curious as to what had happened to the beast.
"We beat that kraken." Dusk gave me a little insight.
"It was tough fiend.. but with teamwork, and Mach's projectiles we managed to send it packing" Spear told me.
"It just slammed me into the boat"
"Yeah.. we felt it"
"Luckily Spear dived in to save you. He didn't give any hesitation, like it was instinct" Dregolas spoke.
"I would never let a friend die, especially not Amy" Spear explained to Dregolas.
I got up and breathed deeply. My breathing soon got back to normal with a few breaths.
"Where are we now?"
"In the middle of the ocean"
"Where were we headed?"
"The Masachu Highroad"
"Oh... there"
"We have no time to waste!" Power Demon came in and interrupted. "We have to get to the Highroad immediately!"
"Ok, lets head there then..." I said.

Be thankful that I get urges, and be thankful that I am completing this... you lucky people!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Why are we headed there?" Spear asked.
"I heard somethings happening there." Power Demon told us.
"Like what exactly?" The grey ones eyebrows quirked.
"They're setting up cannons and the like, Xandos is apparently going to be sighted there"
"He'll decimate them all though?" Extreme thought out loud.
"Single-minded, we'll try anything to get rid of Xandos"
"That desperate? Makes ya think what the world is coming to" Extreme sighed.
"Ya never know..." Dusk piped up. "It may work"
"I hate to sound pessimistic but I really doubt that it'll succeed" Extreme spoke.
"The only thing they'll achieve is getting Xandos more angry, and in turn, more powerful" Power Demon explained.
"He'll become so powerful that maybe not even we can defeat it" Dregolas woefully said.
"Indeed" Power Demon closed his eyes and nodded.
"Hey guys! We can't be so down! There's a way, and everything has a weakness!" Dusk tried cheering everyone up.
"Thats right." I agreed.
"Lets focus on whats ahead now, nothing else" Power Demon changed the subject.
"You know that evil Maester you were talking about?" I hinted.
"Yeah, what about her?"
"Maybe she summoned Xandos"
Extreme laughed. "She may be powerful, but not that powerful!"
"just a suggestion" I put my hands up in defense.
"You do come up with some wacky ideas don'tcha Amy!" Extreme smiled.
"Yeah I guess... it helps to have an imagination" One point to me.
"Ugh! You! Are you saying I don't have an imagination!?" Extreme felt insulted by what I had said.
"Nah, I'm just saying, no personal attacks whatsoever"
"Good... because I DO have one..." Incoherent mumbling after.
I changed the subject back. "Why would Xandos be headed there?" Mach answered this question.
"Because. That is where it releases it's Spawn, to become fully fledged fiends."
"The Spawn then turn into monsters and attack us" Power Demon added.
"Can't we just like... do something to kill the spawn so they never grow?"
"That would mean that we would have to inject a highly powerful chemical into Xandos. In other words, it'd be impossible. We just have to kill them, one by one"
"What did we even do to provoke Xandos' awakening?"
"In the ancient past, something happened, people turned into mindless drones. Full of anger, greed and hatred, and full of lust, the lust for power. This enraged the gods and they sent down a beast, of enormous power, one that would not die completely and permanently until people saw the error of their ways. It can be defeated, and that brings about the Peaceful Age." Extreme stopped suddenly.
"But Xandos would keep reviving, and the cycle would start again. Groups of people would set out to try and destroy Xandos, and bring about the said Peaceful Age. But, they never survive."
"How come they never survive? Does Xandos kill them and die out by that or summink?" I asked.
"The Summoner gets the Crystal Summoning, a god specially used to defeat Xandos, but the Summoner has to give up their life, and soul to use it. The Summoner, and the Summoning amalgamate together, and the power rips Xandos apart, and destroys him."
"But he keeps coming back, and another life is lost. That must mean..." All eyes on Power Demon.
"Yes. When we get to the Last Temple. My life shall be offered up... to defeat him."
"Whats the point?"
"I'm doing this for the whole world. One life to bring about a Age of harmony. It is my wish. For everyone to not live in terror, live in dread, live under the shadow of such an ugly monster. We can't rectify our past mistakes, but we can forget them. Forget them along with the destruction of Xandos." Everything went silent.
"How long is the Peaceful Age?" I broke the silence.
"15 years" Power Demon replied.
"And then Xandos is reborn" Mach said.
"15... My lucky number... the number of years people have to be happy... it shouldn't be 15... heck it shouldn't even be a number.... it should be forever" Everyone nodded.
"Hey guys. I hate to break up the moment but there's a tidal wave headed for the cliff. It's pretty far off"
"That's where the Soldiers are set up. That must be wave made by Xandos!" Power Demon growled.
The boat landed at the pier slowly and before the plank could go down Power Demon had leaped down to the ground. "Quickly!" He said in a raspy voice that sounded like a dogs bark. The plank went down and the rest of us went down to where Power Demon was eagerly awaiting. He dashed off for the cliffs. Extreme got on his extreme gear and helped Dusk on and then rode off. Dregolas was flying behind them. Spear looked up at me and smiled before skating off. "Yeah, I don't have a cool way to run or anything. Actually..." I made crystal in my hands and made a trail of crystal through the air by crystalizing moisture. I then started grinding along as I made the trail longer. I changed the way my body facing by jumping and turning. I was quite high in the air. I grinded downwards and slid along the trail next to Spear. "Which is better? Skating or grinding?" Spear laughed at my question and sped up. I then crouched down to make myself go faster and caught up to Extreme, Dusk and Dregolas. "Which is better? Extreme gear riding and flying or grinding on crystal?" Extreme smiled and high fived my raised hand. "I dunno, I guess it's preference" He shouted over the roaring of the wind. I saw Spear catch up while skating and then jump onto my own trail. I smirked and then made a barrel roll followed up by a loop-de-loop in the sky, and then came back down in front of Extreme, Dusk and Dregolas but behind Power Demon. Spear had jumped off the crystal trail now and was skating again.
We made it up the cliff and I slowed myself down and stopped my trail. I flipped myself off and landed with a crouch. Spear skidded and lowered himself to the ground. Extreme Dusk and Dregolas landed too. The brown hedgehog's extreme gear went on his back. "Easy... we made it here in no time." Extreme brought a fist to his chest.
"The wave is getting closer!" Power Demon's scythed hand pointed to the tsunami.
"We have to alert people now!"
