All right, guys. I know you've been wondering when Albedo The Red Hedgehog will make his debut. Well, he's not the only evil twin debuting. Now, time for the twin battle.
Chapter 6: Battle of the Twin Hedgehogs.
(Eggman's base)
"MWAHAHAHAHA!" laughed Eggman. His robots are in a lab with his 'secret partner' building something called 'Project Omni'. He was about to check in until the alarms blared.
"DRATS!" complained Eggman. His security robots went to search for the intruder.
In the bases hallway, Sonic, Rouge and Ben are running down. They stopped when the security robots surrounded them.
"Why does Eggman always use the same old robots?" annoyed Rouge.
"They need an upgrade." joked Ben. Ben slammed the Ultimatrix and transformed. His body turns black on the back and green in the front, except his head, which is completely black. The black side has green lines. His eyes turned into one green ring. The Ultimatrix symbol appeared on his chest.
"Upgrade" shouted out the transformed Ben. Upgrade jumped at one of the robots and oozed over it, changing it's appearance. It looks black on the red parts with green lines, the fingers changing into mini-pistols. The head turned into a bomb launcher as the nose, single visor, and laser grid as the mouth. The legs have turned into a gravity emitter, allowing it to levitate. The Ultimatrix symbol is on the chest. Sonic and Rouge stared at him wide-eyed.
"Sayonara, suckers!" joked Upgrade/Eggdroid as he fires missiles from his fingers, destroying the airborne drones. Upgrade/Eggdroid launched bombs from his nose cannon at the ground patrol, sending metal debris flying. One of the robots tried to sneak behind him, but Rouge axe-kicked it. Upgrade/Eggdroid turns to see a robot cut in half.
"Thanks, honey." thanked Upgrade/Eggdroid.
"No problem, sweetheart." replied Rouge. The trio flies to the end, thanks to Upgrade/Eggdroid having rockets in him. An explosion caught their attention. The trio went to the direction of the explosion and saw a red hedgehog with red eyes, a red jacket with black stripes, black t-shirt, grey pants, and red sneakers. The most noticeable feature is the 10 on his jacket, meaning that The Red Hedgehog is actually...
"ALBEDO!" shouted out Upgrade/Eggdroid.
"Can't believe you recognize me, Tennyson. And you got some new friends as well." smirked Albedo.
"Ben, you're right. This guy does look like you in red." said Rouge as she cautiously takes a look at Albedo.
"Give it up, Albedo. You're outnumbered three to one." stated Sonic.
"You're right, but you might want to recheck your math, Blue Hedgehog." smirked Albedo. Before Sonic could ask what he meant, he got tackled to the wall by Metal Sonic.
"Is that a Sonic robot?" asked Upgrade/Eggdroid as he disables the robot before oozing away and changing back.
"That's Metal Sonic, Eggman's failed duplicate of Sonic. It is the second enemy we face often, Eggman being on top. He can do everything Sonic can." explained Rouge. Metal Sonic and Albedo approach each other and face the trio.
"Before we end you, I want to know something. Why were you trying to prevent me from returning to my Galvan form by interfering with my DNA rewriter?(By the way, I made up the name.)" asked Albedo.
"So you wouldn't make everyone on Earth look like me." answered Ben.
"Why would I want to do that? Living in a world with more Bens is the worst nightmare possible.". shouted Albedo.
"I don't know. Your Humungousaur wannabe told me." replied Ben.
"You mean Hugh, the Vaxasaurian with glasses?" asked Albedo. Ben nodded.
"CURSE THAT VAXASAURIAN!" shouted Albedo at the sky. Albedo took a deep breath and calmed down.
"No matter. The teleportation also had a side effect on me. Observe." said Albedo as he transforms into the hedgehog version of Articguana, but with a few differences. The white part of his body armor is red, his blue fur is grey, and his eyes are red. Sonic, Rouge, and Ben stared shocked at Negative Articguana.
"When the Ultimatrix interfered with the DNA rewriter, it created a link between my DNA and the Ultimatrix, allowing me to transform for a short time." explained Negative Articguana as he exhales his frost breath at the trio. Rouge flies up and grabs Sonic and Ben's arms to lift them up to dodge the frost breath. Metal Sonic used his back turbine to charge at the trio.
"ROUGE!LOOKOUT!" warned Ben. Rouge soars out of the base, along with Metal Sonic. The chase led them to a mobian city. Metal Sonic spin dashed in mid-air and hit Rouge, causing her to fall on a building.
"Rouge, you okay?" asked Ben. Rouge nodded and tried to stand up, but her back pained her.
"Metal Sonic struck my spine really hard." stated Rouge. Ben clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he turns to face Metal Sonic.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, YOU TIN COPYCAT!" shouted Ben in anger as he activates the Ultimatrix and slams it down. He transforms into a black-and-yellow hedgehog with pincers for hands, arched shoulders, and a metal hedgehog head floating between the arches.
"LODESTAR" shouted the black-and-yellow hedgehog. Metal Sonic spin dashes at him.
"Oh no you don't!" said Lodestar as he points one of his pincer hands at him. Metal Sonic suddenly stopped, and crashed to a building. He emerged, but looks frozen as if he is frozen in time. Lodestar used his magnetic powers to slam him on the ground, and kept repeating.
"NO ONE HURTS ROUGE AND GETS AWAY WITH IT, YOU HEAR ME!NO ONE!" shouted Ben as he raises Metal Sonic high in the night sky. He brings him down, and slams him on the ground as hard as possible. Rouge watched this in horror and guilt.
'He's destroying Metal Sonic, but not like he normally does to Eggman's robots. He's never this angry before. He cares for me enough to destroy anyone who hurts me.' thought Rouge as she watches the onslaught. Sonic watched the onslaught and decided that is too much.
"BEN, STOP!" shouted Sonic. Ben kept Metal Sonic in the air in case of a sneak attack and turns to Sonic.
"What do you think you're doing?" asked Sonic.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm making sure your robot twin never hurts anyone again." answered Ben.
"But you're doing it wrong. You've never been this violent before, and you're scaring Rouge." commented Sonic. Ben turns to Rouge and saw her feared look. Ben's angry face turned to a soft and gentle face. He released his magnetic pull on Metal Sonic and transformed back. He then walks up to Rouge.
"I'm sorry I scared you. It's just..." started Ben.
"I know. You were angry at him for hurting me badly. I would do the same thing if I was in your place." finished Rouge. Ben then activates his Ultimatrix and transforms into a gold robotic hedgehog with green gears inside.
"Clockwork" shouted Ben in a British accent.
"Allow me to heal you, my lady." said Clockwork as he fires a green beam at Rouge, and suddenly Rouge stood up as if she never got hurt.
"Let me guess, time powers?" guessed Sonic as he sees Rouge walk up to Clockwork. Clockwork changes back to Ben. Rouge jumped and hugged him.
"Thank you for healing me." thanked Rouge. Ben hugged back.
"No problem." replied Ben. He kisses Rouge passionately along with her. Sonic fakes a gag sound.
"Can't you guys get a room? The city's full of them." annoyed Sonic. They remained kissing until the need of air kicks in. Rouge flies off the ground and grabbed Ben and Sonic's arms and took them to base.
(Sonic Heroes Hut)
"Whoa, talk about travel by air." commented Kevin as he stares at Rouge approaching with Ben and Sonic. Ben sees Kevin staring at them and turns to see what until he remembers Rouge's clothing. He gritted his teeth.
"Rouge, would you let me down there?" asked Ben gently. Rouge turns to where he points at and steam came out of her ears as she nodded. Ben lets go and slams the Ultimatrix, transforming into an bulky orange hedgehog with black stripes and a white nuzzle and chest.
"LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, KEVIN ETHAN LEVIN." shouted Rath.
"Please don't." squeaked Kevin.
Battle of the Twins is over. The last scene is based on 'Con of Rath' when Kevin admitted he knew what was the problem the whole time. Anyway, my profile has a poll for Ben's girlfriend in Ben GX. This is an announcement and please vote.
