Sonic roared and dodged Lance's ax. He then sprang towards him and slashed him in the chest.

Lance yelled out in pain and dodged another claw swipe. "Your friends shall see the monster you truly are!" Sonic just snarled, and his vision was getting blurry. All he could see was everything in red. Sonic stumbled backward and glared.

"Even if you do beat me, you can't kill a god..." Sonic said and breathed fire onto Lance. An enormous explosion occurred, and Lance coughed. When the smoke cleared, Lance was still standing. He smirked and teleported behind Sonic. When Lance was about to chop down, Shadow suddenly appeared and kicked Lance in the face. Lance fell onto the ground, and Sonic flew out of the way.

"Why are you here?! You'll get killed!"

Shadow just rolled his eyes and said, "I want to get back at that bastard. Besides, you have no idea how strong I have gotten." Sonic just shrugged and watched as Lance got to his feet. He coughed up blood, and said, "Two against one? Well then, I'll fight you both!" Lance said, smirking. Sonic growled, and Shadow ran at an at the speed of light towards Lance.

Sonic watched, unimpressed. Shadow threw Chaos Lances and kicked Lance 12 times. He teleported back to Sonic, and Lance didn't even flinch. "I advise you to stop attempting to defeat me, mortal. This is a battle of demons." Shadow just rolled his eyes, and said, "I AM THE ULTIMATE LIFEFORM! I CAN DEFEAT A DUMBASS DEMON!"

Sonic just looked over at Shadow, then back at Lance. He roared and flew towards him two times faster than Shadow. He grabbed Lance and flew to a pond. He dove into the body of water, bringing Lance down with him.

Lance screamed in pain as he started to burn. Sonic smirked and swam towards him. He grabbed him and slammed him into the mud. Sonic then slashed him in the face. Blood poured out, and Lance glared. "Damn you! You know I'm weak to water, you bastard!"

Sonic just grinned and swam up out of the water. Lance swam out as he saw Sonic fly away.

Sonic landed in front of Shadow and Tails, and said, "He's all taken care of."

They smiled and went to Tails workshop.

Sonic walked inside and noticed quite a few changes. The inside of the workshop was like a base. It was metal, with inventions scattered all over the place. Sonic smiled, and said, "Nice place." Tails nodded and said, it took a few months to renovate, but thanks!"

"By the way, how did stopping the Genocide work out?"

"It was okay. I had to deal with you dying again, but I didn't go into a rampage like the first time. I haven't seen Tikal since I left this world, and, well, That Lance guy... I have seen him before. It was 2500 years ago..."

Tails gasped, and Shadow shrugged.

"I guess I'll tell you guys what happened..."

Tails and Shadow nodded, and Sonic told them what happened.

"When it happened, I was in my coma... Tikal guarded me, making sure there were no intruders, AKA my followers, were there to awaken me. I still hated humans as much as ever, if not even more. Then, one day, Lance came into the temple, and he had his stupid cronies pin Tikal down. He chanted something, and I woke up. I still despised Tikal since she foiled my plans, so It wasn't too pretty for her when I woke up.

I remember beating her up so badly she had to retreat. Lance told me he was one of my followers, and I followed him to his base. He then showed me a mech I can never erase out of my head. It was called Ravager, and it was supposed to wipe out all humans. I liked the idea, so I got in. It hurt like hell when I controlled it like a thousand knives were jabbed into my body.

I remember only wanting to kill, and I ran out of the base. I started to kill humans with the mech, and I heard them screaming as I lit homes on fire, and stepped onto people running in the streets. I saw Tikal fly up to me and flash a bright light, and I was ejected from the robot. But, there was something wrong with me... My vision was blurry, and I felt as though I transformed into something...

I remember seeing Tikal gasp, and I growled. Only this didn't sound like I was growling... It was like I was hissing... I heard her summon CHaos, and we fought. I was hit several times, I couldn't dodge too well. I noticed I was slightly slower, but that made up in brute force when I hit Tikal. She slammed into the ground, leaving a crater. I barely remember what happened after that.

Soon, all I could see was these... tentacle things... I also could see Tikal. She blasted me with a Chaos Blast, and I was knocked out. That's currently all I can remember...

Tails gasped and Shadow raised an eyebrow. "So... you were in some kind of form..." Sonic nodded and soon smelled smoke. "They're here!" He said, and Tails and SHadow knew Lance was back for more.

Lance stood outside of the building, smirking. Three animals stood next to him. They were a wolf, a rat, and a raven respectively. The rat and wolf grinned and stepped forward.

"This is gonna be fun..." The wolf said, cracking his knuckles. The rat nodded, and Lance looked toward them. "Hold the fox hostage. I'll deal with Dark Gaia and that pathetic mortal." They obeyed and snuck into the house. Lance looked back at the raven. "Well, what are you waiting for?!"

"..."

Lance just glared at the mobian bird and flew off.

Sonic and Shadow ran out of the house, seeing Lance. "What the hell do you want?!"

Lance just laughed and charged after them. Sonic roared, then summoned Reaver Shark. He slashed the evil lizard in the chest, and Shadow threw Chaos Lances. Lance yelled in pain, and yelled. A Pheonix flew onto the ground and screeched at Sonic and Shadow. They both rolled their eyes simultaneously and suddenly heard a shriek.

The rat and wolf we saw earlier were standing there, with Tails struggling in their hands. Sonic saw this and was instantly outraged. Sonic roared and flew at them. The wolf grabbed Sonic and spun him around. He then slammed him into the ground, and the wolf smirked victorously. Sonic got up, unfazed, and his eyes turned red. "Weakling. You thought a mortal could defeat a god?!" The wolf then cowered, and Sonic grabbed him by the neck. Tails kicked the rat in the face and begged Sonic to stop.

Sonic looked over, then dropped the wolf. He ran off, and Sonic just frowned.

Shadow, on the other hand, was fighting.

Lance was annoyed, trying to hit Shadow. "YOU BASTARD, COME OVER HERE AND FIGHT!"

Shadow teleported over and summoned the Chaos Emeralds.

"Oh no..."
