Disclaimer: I claim no ownership of ANYTHING shown in this story!

Hours passed, the trio were searching for any chaos emerald or sign of Eggman. Sonic sat on a tree branch over looking the jungle. "See anything?'' brandy yelled from below. Sonic jumped down from the tree "Nope not yet.'' he replied. "Well we do have one.'' sonic said pulling out the dark blue emerald. Whiskers came running in, "I found a shiny rock!'' he said excitedly pulling out the green emerald. "Wow didn't see that coming.'' sonic said surprised.

Two emeralds down five to go. "What's this place?'' sonic asked walking out in front of a clearing, standing in front of him was a temple. "It's the mall.'' brandy told him walking next to sonic. "Maybe one of the emeralds are in there.'' sonic said smirking "Your not of thinking of stealing one are you?'' she asked "It's better than seeing Eggman's crazed hands on it, right?" he said then zipped off into the mall. Whiskers stood next to brandy "He's faster than you whiskers.'' she stated and walked in the mall along with whiskers.

They both found sonic running all over the place in search for any of the emeralds. Sonic stopped in front of the two. "I'd be surprised if this place hasn't have found any.'' sonic questioned looking around the mall. "Hey!'' sonic exclaimed pointing to one of stores which sold jewelry. In the window was the silver emerald. Brandy and Whiskers walked next to him. "So what's your plan?'' she asked. With quickness sonic ran in and came back out throwing up and down in the air the silver emerald.

"This is when my speed comes in handy.'' he mentioned smirking. Suddenly a large explosion destroyed the ceiling and came flooding in was an army of Eggman's robots, sonic saw one last robot jump through it was metal sonic. The blue blur stood in front of his two friends with his two fists clenched and raised and ready to fight. The army of robots lead by Metal Sonic waited. Sonic looked confused "Why aren't they attacking?'' he asked himself. The robots cleared a path and coming through the crowd was Dr. Eggman. "Hand over the emerald Sonic.'' he demanded.

"Eggman come on, can't you just say hi?'' he joked. Eggman growled. "I'm done with your games! Hand over the emeralds or be destroyed!'' he threatened. "Just try to fat man.'' sonic smirked "Attack!'' Eggman pointed to the blue blur.

The robots came flying at him, metal sonic stayed behind until he was needed. "Start running you two.'' sonic told brandy and whiskers they both nodded and ran for the exit. Sonic came running at the robots, he ducked under one and grabbed its leg and swung it around knocking out more robots.

Sonic tossed the robot to the ground, he spin dashed with blistering speed and bowled through groups and groups of robots. Sonic slid to a halt, robots surrounded him they fired machine guns. Luckily sonic jumped up and dived at the robots, his foot was driven into one of the robots head. Sonic avoided a missile, missiles continued firing.

Sonic stood his ground, he ducked and kicked two missiles at the same time with both his feet the two missiles came and impacted five robots. Three robots were in front of him, as well three behind him. Sonic waited where he stood. Another robot from above fired a missile at the blue hedgehog. Sonic jumped, leaving the three robots crashing into each other, at the same time he grabbed the missile fired at him and threw it down at the six robots below. A fire erupted from the spot. Sonic landed back on the ground, but metal sonic charged and drove his fist into Sonic's stomach which sent sonic flying and crashing into a column. Sonic shook his head and opened his eyes to see metal come charging again. Sonic ran up the column, metal sonic flew up after him.

The metal copy fired his machine gun wildly at sonic. The trail of bullets followed closely behind sonic, finally he jumped away from the column, but metal intercepted him by tackling him. The two came crashing through one of the support columns. Outside Brandy and whiskers waited for sonic. A loud bang crackled throughout the air as hunks of debris came flying out of the building.

The two screamed and started to run. A large piece of debris landed in front of brandy which shook her off balance and she fell. A medium sized piece of debris landed on her leg, she was stuck. She tried to escape but nothing came out of it. Sonic and Metal came crashing through the wall of the temple and impacted the ground both strangling against each other. The support column that sonic and metal crashed through came smashing through the wall of the temple and started to fall toward brandy. She screamed "Help!'' sonic kicked metal off him and heard the scream "I'm coming!'' he ran toward brandy. The pillar came closer to her. Metal Sonic came charging too.

At the last second, Sonic struck through the rock on her leg and picked her up. Metal unfortunately was crushed by the pillar, a cloud of dust puffed into the sky. Sonic was breathing slowly from the fighting, and the lack of energy he had left. Sonic looked at brandy "You alright?'' he asked "Yeah, that was close.'' she replied back. Sonic smiled and he carried back to the tree house.
