Chapter 3: The First Battle
"What was that?" Sonic wondered aloud. He super spun the apron, hat, and chili off of himself and onto his protesting siblings. Ignoring their cries of indignation, he sped outside to check out the situation. He sped up to the roof of a nearby building to look around. "Hm, I know I heard something." Then he saw it, a Swatbot battalion walking down the street with a small boy in tow. He looked terrified. "Time to juice and jam!" and with that he bolted for the Swatbots and their young prey.
Sonic came to halt right in their path and held up a hand to stop them. "Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way." The Swatbot in the lead pointed his blaster at him, intoned "Priority One Hedgehog spotted" and began blasting. "Oh goody" Sonic said "The hard way!" He weaved between the blasts, grabbed the boy, and deposited him in an alley way. "Back in a minute" Sonic assured him and rushed back towards the Swatbots. Within moments he had reduced them to scrap metal. "That sure made me feel better! Now for the kid." He ran back to the alley and asked "You alright?"
"Oh, yes sir! I'm just dandy!" and then the kid began to laugh in a not so friendly fashion. "Okay, I'm confused. What's the joke?" A voice from the shadows answered "Just the fact that you feel into our trap." Sonic jerked around to find Sleet stepping forward and firing a beam of light at the laughing boy. He instantly morphed into Dingo. "Oh, wow I'm so scared" Sonic jeered "Let me guess. You want revenge for yesterday." Sleet's expression darkened but he answered "No. We're going to let him handle you."
Sonic looked beyond Sleet's pointed finger to notice a pair of glowing red eyes. The body attached to those eyes moved into view. Sonic gasped at what he saw. It looked like a robotic form of him. The body was the same shade of blue as his fur, the head was shaped the same, and even the shoes were identical. It stopped between Sleet and Dingo, who proceeded to simultaneously announce "Presenting Metal Sonic!"
"Okay I'll bite. What's going on here?" Dingo giggled and said "You're gonna die, that's what." Sleet continued "Metal Sonic was built with all of your statistics and abilities in mind. He can't be beaten." "Oh yeah…" but was cut off when Metal Sonic lunged at him. The real Sonic dodged and streaked off down the street. He turned to see Metal Sonic running perfectly even with him. "Okay, wise guy. You asked for it!" Sonic turned down a side street and significantly picked up the pace. He was shocked to find his doppelganger still keeping up. "Oh, it's on!" Sonic warned as he abruptly turned to tackle Metal Sonic.
The ensuing battle was an even draw. Sonic and Metal Sonic were evenly matched in strength and speed, so that it was difficult for either to get an advantage. Sonic muttered "Buttnick must be a real fan to have paid so much attention to me" before being punched in the nose. "Ouch! You're pretty good but I'm gonna win and do you know why?" Metal Sonic stopped and beeped inquisitively. "I, unlike you, have backup!" Right on cue a musical chord was heard on a keyboard and a bolt of pink energy blasted Metal Sonic backwards under a bridge. This was followed by a drum beat accompanied by an earthquake. The whole bridge came down onto Metal Sonic, battering his body horribly. Sonic said "And for our grand finale" as he materialized his guitar. Metal Sonic dug himself out only to have his head blasted clean off.
"Yeah, score one for the Sonic Underground!" Sonic exclaimed. He turned and asked "What took you guys so long?" Sonia responded "Finding you, for one thing, and also cleaning that chili off. Chili that wouldn't have been there" she went on turning to face Manic "if someone had kept their camera to themselves!" "Chill sis, I've learned my lesson. No more "Candid Camera" for me." Sonic responded to this with "Now that that's settled let's go celebrate another foiled Buttnick plan!" Sonia and Manic agreed and the siblings left for home. As they departed, the eyes of the decapitated Metal Sonic flickered to life.
