A/N: I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog.

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG Z

The mercenaries

Sonic, Tails, Silver, Blaze, Amy, Cream and Cheese are all walking thru the Marble Zone. Tails is looking at his Emerald Radar, to see if he finds any signal of the Chaos Emeralds. They have to find them and quick if they have to stop Vortex from taking them.

"I think the there's a Chaos Emerald around here somewhere." Tails said.

"You think, or there is?" Amy demanded.

A blue vein sticks out from her head

"Amy!" Cream scolded.

"Hey! Geniuses make mistakes too you know!" Tails proclaimed.

"Will you guys cut it out? Vortex has all ready got two Chaos Emeralds and he might find the others if we don't hurry!" Silver explained.

"Fine." Amy sighted.

Sweat drop on her head

"Let's see." Tails looks at his radar and it shows a message that says "JAMMING SIGNAL".

"That's weird." Tails said.

"What is it, Tails?" Sonic asked.

"It looks like something's jamming the radar signal." Tails said.

CRUMBLE!

The heroes look at where the noise came from and the see three figures busting out from a temple wall. Two are riding Extreme Gear and the third is riding some ship.

"Who are those?" Blaze asked.

The Emerald Radar starts beeping loudly.

"SONIC! The emerald is with them!" Tails points at the three figures.

Sonic looks at the three figures riding away.

"Not for long!" Sonic said and he runs after them.

"Wait up Sonic!" Blaze and Silver followed Sonic.

That just leaves only Tails, Amy, Cream and Cheese.

"Good luck guys!" They called out.

As Sonic ran beside them from behind some ruins, he saw that the figures are none other then the mercenaries: Fang the Sniper riding his yellow orange ship and his henchman: Bark the Polar Bear and Bean the Dynamite riding they're Extreme Gear.

"Fang the Sniper? When did HE return?" Sonic wondered. "Well doesn't matter, he's not getting away with the Chaos Emeralds!"

"SONIC!" Blaze and Silver shouted from behind him.

Sonic looked behind him.

"Can you slow down a bit?" Silver asked getting tiered.

And Sonic runs back to grab both Silver and Blaze by the wrists and starts running at supersonic speed.

"WWHHHHHOOOOAAAAA!!!" Silver and Blaze screamed.

With the mercenaries…

"He, he, he, good job boys!" Fang told his men.

"It's a pleasure boss!" Bark said.

"Anything for you boss!" Bean said.

"All right, now all we have to do is trade this little Emerald for cash and then look for the rest of them!" Fang explained. "Once we give away all the Emeralds, we'll be swimming in cash!"

"AWSOME!!!" Bark and Bean exclaimed.

"He, he! Not even Sonic is going to stand in my way!" Fang said.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!!!"

Fang looks at the road and to his horror, he sees Sonic, Silver and Blaze standing right in front of him.

"ARRRGH, HALT!!!" Fang ordered and they all stopped.

Now the heroes and the mercenaries just stand there face-to-face.

"It's been a long time hasn't it Fang?" Sonic smirked.

"S-s-s-onic! What a horrible surprise!" Fang said, not pleased to see him. (And Sonic wasn't happy to see him either)

"All right you guys! Give us the Chaos Emeralds, if you know what's good for ya!" Silver ordered.

"Yeah, just hand over the goods and nobody gets hurt!" Blaze said.

Fang looks at Blaze. "Oh, and what you wish to do with it, tots?"

Blaze freaks out at what Fang called her and says: "You freak! We want the Chaos Emeralds to stop Vortex from destroying Mobius! And another thing: call me "tots" again, and I'll turn you into ashes!"

"Well sorry, but do you have any idea what value this little thing has?" Fang asks. "That's right, billions!!!"

"You want Chaos Emeralds for cash?" Silver asked.

The mercenaries nod.

"You idiots! Do you have any idea what power they have???" Silver asked.

"Enough talk! Just get out of our way!" Fang ordered.

"Not this time, Fang!" Sonic said. "Your not going anywhere with that Chaos Emerald!"

"Fine! Bark, Bean! Take care of his friends! I'll take care of Sonic!" Fang ordered.

"Yes, sir!" Bark and Bean said.

They first look at each other face to face. The fights are:

Sonic vs. Fang;

Silver vs. Bark;

And Blaze vs. Bean.

3…2…1…FIGHT!
