As an intense battle between Sonic and Amy was underway, Sonic realized just how crazy Amy had become over the years... then Sonia and Manik arrived to rescue their father, while TodStar and Lara-Su managed to freeze Amy in place!
While King Sonic was safe, it turns out that Tikhaos' warning about Enerjak was right all along... Enerjak had successfully managed to unleash the out of control Perfect Tikhaos!
Why has Enerjak done this, when he has Queen Sally under his control? Can the King Sonic and the new Freedom Fighters defeat Perfect Tikhaos? And how long will Amy remain frozen? Find out in the next chapter of The Flashforward Saga!
Chapter Seven: The Great Calamity
Outside the cave where they held Sonic, Asunta was using her Sun Fans to blow away the clouds in order for the sun to shine through... and melt Amy's frozen state!
"There's nowhere to hide, my sweet passion..." Amy exclaimed after breaking free from the ice-cold Chaos Energy. This made Asunta bow before the pink hedgehog.
"Mistress Amy..." She said. "How shall I serve you?" A smirk suddenly appeared on Amy's face, as more creatures emerged from shadows on the ground.
"Allow me to get the Core of Sally Acorn."
From the exit of Miles' lab, King Sonic, his children, and everyone else could see a large green monster made from liquid Chaos Energy rise up from the Great Forest.
"So... you're sayin' that that is Tikhaos?!" Sonic asked TodStar, who nodded in response. "OK, next question... why would she do that? I thought Tikhaos was a peace-loving goddess!"
"She was... until something very dark happened in the past that made her become very unstable." Lara-Su pointed out.
"I'm surprised you don't know about this, Sonic..." Said Silver. "I mean, judging from what I've read about Tikhaos, you were there when that happened."
"I dunno what to tell you, Silver..." Sonic replied after shrugging. "A lot of that time is just a blur to me now..."
"All right, Sonic... what's the plan?" Asked Miles, making Sonic look at the fox in confusion.
"Dude, what're you askin' me for?" He asked back. "Sal was always the one with the plans!"
"Dad, if I may?" Asked Sonia. "I think I have something..." Sonic then gestured for Sonia to proceed.
"If either Manik or myself can build up enough speed or get up high enough, the two of us will be able to attack Tikhaos while she's like this. So Dad, Manik & I are gonna need you to pilot our car to get us high enough." Sonia said to everyone, with Sonic and Manik nodding in agreement.
"What about the rest of us?" Asked Melody.
"Uncle Miles can take you guys down to the surface so you can distract Tikhaos, while Manik & I attack her." Sonia replied. "We'll need every distraction we can get if we're gonna pull this off!" Everyone nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, within the master bedroom of Castle Acorn, the Prelate of Sally Acorn was patiently waiting for her targets, when she was suddenly zapped by electricity, and fell to the floor! Now that it was not functiong properly, this allowed Amy to tap the Prelate with her wand, causing the grey-coloured body of the Prelate to have a pink shade to it... it also reactivated, and bowed before Amy!
"Now... let's find out what it is about you that Sonic just can't live without..." She said as she teleported herself and the Sally Prelate out of Castle Acorn.
Minutes later, everyone but Sonic, Sonia and Manik were inside Miles' shuttle. Sonic was driving the kids' car that Sonia was standing on, while Manik was flexing his legs.
"Okay, everyone ready?" Asked Sonic, before he saw everyone nodding at him.
"Remember Manik, we have to switch our methods of attack in order to confuse Tikhaos, right?" Sonia told her brother, who responded by giving her a thumbs-up.
"Then let's do it to it!" Shouted Sonic as he put the pedal to the metal, while Manik raced alongside them out of Mobotropolis' underside.
"GO, TEAM GENERATIONS!" Yelled Manik as he dove down to the Great Forest, while Miles' shuttle followed him, and Sonic & Sonia approached Perfect Tikhaos above the treetops.
"Who came up with that team name?" Sonic asked his daughter, who placed her hand over his face.
"He did..."
"When?"
"Just now..."
"Oh..."
It was at that moment that Manik had landed within one of the trees in the Great Forest, only to see a large wave of water approaching! Just before he got washed away in the wave, Manik leapt out of the tree, and Boosted across the water! Tikhaos then used one of her tentacles to try and flatten Manik, but he got out of the way using Quick Step... and Melody raced all over the tentacle so it would sink into the water!
"Melody!" Exclaimed Manik.
"I'll cover you, Manik." She replied, before pointing to Tikhaos. "You just get Boosting!"
"Right!" Said Manik, before he Boosted towards the large monster, making Melody sigh as she dreamily stared at Manik. Seeing this from the shuttle, Lara-Su looked a little angry...
"Skye, can you cover me while I pick up Manik?" She asked, making the young fox nervous. But he nodded in response. Once he was close enough, Manik Spin Dashed into Tikhaos' body, slowly making his way up towards what appeared to be a brain. When Manik struck the brain, he was blasted out of Tikhaos, giving the goddess great pain. Pain that TodStar and Lara-Su felt, aswell. While Manik was airborne, Lara-Su managed to catch him, while Skye blocked what tentacles tried to attack by twirling himself in front of them, before flying back up to the shuttle. It was then that Silver and Shadow Android then jumped out of the shuttle, while Sonic and Sonia closed in on Tikhaos.
Tikhaos caught a glimpse of Sonic and Sonia and was about to attack with her tentacles, but a missile flew past her. When she looked back, she noticed Shadow Android's smoking hand as he was using his Air Shoes to float above the water. Just before Tikhaos could attack Shadow Android with her tentacles, Silver used his Psychokinesis to hold them in place!
"Sonia, now's your chance!" He shouted as Sonic flew the car in range of Tikhaos' brain.
"Here I go, Daddy!" Said Sonia, before she leapt off of the jet, and landed a Homing Attack with ease! When Tikhaos roared in pain, both TodStar and Lara-Su held their heads in the same pain.
"Ngh! Why does that hurt us too, Master?" Asked Lara-Su.
"*pant* I don't know..." TodStar replied. "But even if Sonia and Manik can defeat Tikhaos' monsterous form... I'm not sure if we can survive..." That was when Lara-Su gasp in realization.
"I think I know how we can neutralize her, Master..." She pointed out. "We'll use Tikal's Prayer!" "Of course!" Exclaimed TodStar, before picking up a communicator. "Listen up, folks. Lara-Su and I have a way to get Tikhaos back to normal, but she needs to be hit a couple more times in order for it to work."
Just before anyone could do anything, Tikhaos roared as she used waterspouts to lift certain pieces of the ground from their original spots!
"Whoa..." Exclaimed Manik, as Sonic flew overhead.
"*bzz* Silver, I'm counting on you to protect my daughter while she attacks Tikhaos. *bzz*" Sonic said via radio.
"I can't, Sonic." Silver replied as he revealed a Power Ring. "I need some time to restore my strength..."
"I'll take over, Your Majesty." Suggested Shadow Android.
"Sounds good to me, Daddy." Sonia added.
"*bzz* All right, go. *bzz*" Sonic replied, making both Sonia and Shadow Android jump out of the shuttle, ijust/i before Tikhaos fired a beam at the shuttle!
"Quick, everyone bail out!" Shouted Miles. Fortunately, everyone onboard managed to land on a floating tree before the shuttle was destroyed. Sonia was Boosting her way through the waterspouts that were supposed to block her path, unaware that her brother was closing in on Tikhaos by jumping from floating landmass-to-floating landmass.
Just as Sonia Spin Dashed into Tikhaos' body, Manik was climbing higher and higher. After Sonia blasted out of Tikhaos, giving her another dose of pain, Manik landed a Homing Attack on her brain, causing Tikhaos to sink into her resting place as the waters subsided. This was when TodStar and Lara-Su landed at what was left of the Pool of Tikhaos, and sat down in front of her.
"The servers are the seven Chaos..." They chanted in unison. "Chaos is power, enriched by the heart... the controller exists to unify the Chaos..."
"You never caused trouble in the past, Tikal..." Lara-Su said to the echidna girl within Tikhaos. "...don't make the same mistake your father did..."
"You're the Goddess of Peace, Chaos..." TodStar told the goddess within Tikhaos. "...if anyone needs to live up to that title, it's you..." Once TodStar and Lara-Su finished chanting, the liquid Chaos Energy became as calm as a pond, before a large amount of bubbles formed a sentence for everyone to see: PLEASE FORGIVE ME
None of them could hide their sympathy for Tikhaos when they saw that.
"Well... at least we stopped her before she could attack Mobotropolis..." Silver pointed out.
"Yeah, but now the Great Forest has been destroyed." Said Melody, who was very teary-eyed. "Where can she hide now if Enerjak wants to use her again?!"
"*chuckle* Fortunately for you all, I do not try the same thing twice." Said a familiar dark voice. When our heroes turned around, they spotted Enerjak floating above them.
"Except using my brother as your vessel?!" TodStar shouted, shocking everyone except Enerjak, who was merely startled by the green echidna's claim. "Yeah. I sensed that Knuckles' disappearence had something to do with you. Why him again? I ask you!"
"This time, it was not my doing..." Enerjak replied. "It was some fiend who thought he could control me..." This made Sonic angry...
"Eggman... it's gotta be..." He growled, startling Miles.
"But that's impossible, Sonic!" He told the hedgehog. "You told all of us how you beat him without even trying!"
"That's just it, Miles..." Sonic replied. "Eggman went down without a fight... so I always suspected he was still alive... and now I'm positive. Who else would try to revive and control Enerjak?!"
"Exactly." Said Enerjak. "And you all shall pay for your enemy's mistake... once I bide some more time..." Just like that, Enerjak disappeared.
"Hey! Where'd you go, you big fat wuss?!" Manik shouted, before a light-blue laser was fired in between him and Lara-Su. When everyone turned around, they were shocked to see Amy with Asunta, a large amount of Underworld soldiers... and a Prelate that resembled a certain Mobian squirrel that had her arms wrapped around Amy's arm...
"Sally?" Asked Sonic.
"Mom?" Asked Sonia and Manik. But Amy just laughed at the three of them.
"Too late, Sonic..." She replied. "Your precious Queen belongs to me, now."
