Chapter 4: Sonic vs Sonic?
z-12: i wont say this again... if you interfere i'll have to dispose of you!
there was no time left to talk, completely decided, z-12 ran straight to sonic with a spin dash, wich sonic managed to stop on time with a kick, just stoping the spin dash to have z-12 grab him by the arm and threw him to the floor and giving him a strong punch wich sonic dodged on time to grab z-12 by a leg and smash him against the ground giving enough time to do a spin dash straight into z-12's back
z-12: -grunt- ahh! is that all you have?
with an almost perfect precision, z-12 grabbed sonic by both arms and lifted him to give him a kick straight into sonic's stomach and making sonic go out flying 4 meters ahead
Sonic: ugh... that hurt...
z-12: well what did you expect? mercy?
with a fast pace both hedgehogs engaged on a struggle, despite looking like just a copy, z-12 seemed to have more enhanced habilites, sonic was having a hard time holding him
Amy: we have to do something!
Tails: but what?
Amy: i have an idea!
without thinking twice amy charged to both hedgehogs with her hammer and used her hammer attack on z-12
z-12: what the!
Amy: TAKE THIS!
z-12: whoa!! let sonic take it instead!
still engaged with sonic, z-12 did a quick turn making sonic get the attack
Sonic: ouch! amy! what side are you at?!
Amy: -horrified- s-sorry sonic!!
z-12: you can apologize with him close!
with a judo-like move, sonic threw sonic straight to amy, crashing
Tails: if we just could do something... wait... i got it!
pressing a boton on a control, tails called the tornado X, that was about to land until...
z-12: a plane?? quick clonix! take care of it!
Clonix F-15: right away boss!
the robo-copter engaged in combat with the tornado X, but in a matter of seconds the tornado X was shot down, crashing and nearly hitting sonic and making z-12 end up right under it
z-12: what the... WATCH WHERE YOU AIM!
Clonix: sorry boss...
Tails: no! we need help!!
on the top of a building, rouge was watching the battle along with knuckles
Rouge: well what do you think... old eggman decided to finally make the kid fight sonic...
Knuckles: did you know about this?
Rouge: of course
Knuckles: and why didnt you tell us? why did you let sonic go down as a criminal? -angry-
Rouge: because he's... too cute, too bad he's on the wrong side of the track
Knuckles: whatever... i'll go stop that copy! sonic might be a fool but he doesnt deserve to go through this...
Rogue: oh you aint going without me...
both jumped off the building and landed right behind tails
Tails: whoa, where did you guys come from?
Knux: does it matter? i came to stop that foolish copy from causing destruction!
Rouge: and he's just being misused... maybe we can talk him out of this
Tails: how do you know?
Rouge: long story...
both ran quickly to the battlefield, the street was getting destroyed thanks to the intensity of the battle
z-12: -getting outside of the tornado X remains- i heard that... there's no talking out of this... i'll accomplish my mission and put an end to sonic!
Rouge: guillible as always huh
z-12: you! what are you doing here?
Rouge: just to try to make you use your little brain youngster... i reccomend you to abort this "mission", eggman is a bad influence, sonic is not the bad guy, eggman is
z-12: ...why are all of you telling me this? i dont get it! dr eggman isnt evil!
Knuckles: who cares who's evil or not! we got you now!
Knuckles charged after z-12 with his fists, but since z-12 is "another" sonic, z-12 dodged all the punches and knocked knuckles out with a kick to the head
Rouge: stop this!
z-12: catch him then!
he threw knucles against rouge making them both crash, but all of this made him lower his guard, sonic took advantage and punched z-12 right in his waist but making sonic's fist feel pain for some strange reason...
z-12: ugh!
Sonic: w-what was that? -shakes his hand-
z-12: none of your business! -kicks sonic away, leaving an injury on his right cheek- time to get serious...
Sonic: what do you have there?
the battle was about to get more intense... maybe it was because z-12 got an emerald on his hand
Sonic: what the... you got a chaos emerald?!?
Tails: wait a minute... what's with that colour?
z-12: ah, this? its just my custom chaos emerald, its the closest to a real chaos emerald, you could say its like an 8th chaos emerald, no matter how many times you use it, it will not consume, i call it the K-emerald(Klone)
Rouge: how original...
z-12: no one asked you! -angry, he went after rouge, but sonic tackled him onto the ground
z-12: ahh...
z-12: you... i'll finish you off right now! -he quickly moved away from sonic-
z-12: its now time for you to learn something new about the chaos emeralds...
Sonic: no thanks pal... i know all what is needed to know about them
Tails: that's right! we all know everything about them! so whatever you use will not work
z-12: that's wrong little fox... its time to know when your "inner fire" and the chaos emeralds join together...
focusing, z-12 started shining with a blue and red aura, he held the emerald tight onto his fist, it started shining more and more
Amy: -still wounded on the place where sonic crashed with her- what... is he doing?
Tails: this can't be good...
Rouge: oh no... not "that" attack...
z-12: bye bye sonic! CHAOS PUNCH!
he put his fist like if he was holding a spear and quickly dashed straight to sonic
Sonic: that wont take me out!
z-12: big mistake...
sonic tried to defend himself but it was useless, z-12 was moving so fast until...
Sonic: AAGH...
sonic went flying covered in that strange aura and crashed on a bus making it explode, the chaos energy combined with the vital energy of z-12 caused him to get badly injured
everyone: SONIC!!
Rouge: please tell me sonic has a chaos emerald... if not he's done for..
Tails: now that you mention it...
Amy: he said he would bring a chaos emerald... just in case
z-12: huh?
it was true, from the flames of the destroyed bus sonic came out, badly injured, but still standing
z-12: what??
Amy: that's my sonic!
Tails: good job!
he looked at his friends and gave them a confident grin
z-12: i-imposible! you just felt all the power of my vital force and my chaos emerald! i... i dont understand! how! tell me! how can you still stand??
Sonic: easy... i felt your power... its not big enough, besides, for what i felt on that "vital force" of yours... i felt nothing but pain, anger and loneliness... it seems you have no friends...
z-12: what the hell are you talking about...? what is that... friends... i dont understand!
Sonic: you dont know what friends are? wow... old eggman couldn't make a better copy of me? well, thanks for the lesson anyway... its time to see if i can do it the same way...
z-12: what?
Somehow sonic did the excact same thing z-12 did, a white light and a more intense blue aura covered him, it was more clear and more beautiful than z-12's
z-12: what...
Sonic: that happens when you fight from the wrong side!
just like z-12 did, sonic went after him with his original chaos emerald, thinking quick, z-12 managed to charge another chaos punch, he was actually halfway forming it from the moment he saw sonic smiling to his friends, and in that instant now, he was charging against sonic at the same time, both crashing, but staying there, like if both forces were struggling, for obvious reasons, sonic's energy was overwhelming z-12's
z-12: what's happening.. why is your energy greater than mine?
Sonic: simple you copy... i got a bigger source of power, my friends!
z-12: what?
Tails: that's right!
Knuckles: he got us with him...
Amy: he's never alone while fighting... so he will always win!
they were telling the truth, behind sonic, z-12 could see different energies, energies from the different people sonic met trough his adventures...
z-12: w-who are they... its... too much...
he couldnt resist anymore, z-12's chaos punch broke and he got hit directly, recieving greater damage and pain, going out flying and crashing on a wall
all of this was being watched trough the news channel by dr eggman... he wasnt happy
Eggman: how the heck did that blue rat learned that attack so fast?? its imposible... (he gets his microphone) there's a change of plans... stop the fight, let the authorities capture you, they will heal you and try to jail you, but dont worry, we'll use that for the phase 2 of your mission!
z-12: but... but doctor... -still attached to the wall- i cant lose... i cant fail you...
Eggman: obey! or i'll finish you off myself! i'll fry you out! remember if you dont obey i can dispose of you and create a better hedgehog!
z-12: copy that dr... but still, i wont leave this fight without giving my best...
once again both hedgehogs engaged, both injured and tired, but still willing to fight
in that same moment G.U.N. forces arrived to the scene, but they couldnt do anything yet, because the one leading them was there in the battlefield... and they had to wait for her orders
Soldier: what do we do now? -on a comunicator- shall we attack?
Rouge: no way... this is between sonic and his clone... you wont do a thing until i give you the signal..
Knuckles: the best we can do now is act! if we wait he will get away with all this!
Angered by the moment of humiliation the clone made him go trough, he went straight against both hedgehogs and did something stupid...
to be continued...
