SONIC RESURGENCE

Chapter 28

What must be done... ...The servers are the seven Chaos.

Chaos is power. A power enriched by the heart.

The controller is the one who unifies the Chaos.

...Feel within... The sea of Chaos... And the ancient waves.

May the light of its power shine down eternally and protect us all.

Cobalt-Hedgehog Cabin, Never Woods, Christmas Island

It's been six months since the Nazo Incident and nearly a month since Sally, Amy, and Cream arrived on Christmas Island. Within the three weeks, Sally and Amy's growth had been phenomenal. Through training separately and together, Sally managed to increase her stamina to battle as long as the pink hedgehog could while improving her agility to react to Amy's overwhelming speed and power. At the same time, Amy had also made great strides with incredible results.

Though her fiery nature remained, Amy's emotions drastically improved, allowing her to perfectly channel her Pathos Magick and incorporate Vibe Shifting in her combat. While she did not have much use for it due to having her Piko Piko Hammer nearly all the time, through Sally's insistence, Amy touched up on her kickboxing to curb the pink hedgehog's overreliance on the hammer.

After learning the secrets of Deep Power Stones, Gwendolyn the White guided Sally on how to suit it to Sally's battle prowess and personality. This led to the development of a new magic based on the stones' link to the Source of All; Source Magick.

When testing this new kind of magic safely, Sally used Cream under Wendy's supervision to test trials of applying the princess' magic to warrant the desired results. It was here that Cream learned the nature of Sally's newly made magic; mainly suiting the role of a tactician and field leader, Sally kneads Source Magick from her body and casts it onto a person of her choice, enhancing the matter composition within the person.

This effectively made Sally a sorceress and the first enchantress within the House of Acorn.

With Sally's training in casting different enchantments, Cream became more durable, her stamina increased, and her power drastically improved temporarily.

A swell of pride rose from both Sally and her teacher.

As the days passed, Gwendolyn the White eventually finished crafting the new weapon promised for Amy. Much to Amy's astonishment and wonder, Amy was given a beautiful golden hammer that was half the size of her normal Piko Piko Hammer. The hammer had crimson accents, reminiscent of her original weapon, however, at the center of its flat surface was a round silver engraving of a clover in the style of Celtic Knot. The hammerhead was shaped as a dynamic arrowhead, making the hammer resemble an ax. The cylinder component that holds the crimson-red and the hammerhead was golden and had an oval-shaped ruby embedded in it. The lower half of the handle was wrapped in a white cloth while the pommel was shaped as a golden cylinder with multiple faces as if it were a prism.

This was the Piko Piko Hammer's strongest form, Paladin the All-Hammer.

To finish the weapon, Wendy spat on the All-Hammer and blessed it, asking that it be wielded wisely and strike true, and when its job is done, that it may be put down.

While Amy asked why it looked and felt different when wielding it, Wendy explained that she converted her original Piko Piko Hammer into a Vulcan Arm; a legendary brand of weapons found in the Sol Dimension. She tells Amy that while she can summon a copy of her Piko Piko Hammer and use her standard abilities with that Hammer at will, it would pale in comparison to the All-Hammer.
