Sonic and Metal Sonic clashed in a multitude of homing attacks and spin dashes. Both attacking harder and harder each time they came into contact.
"Chaos Spear!" shouted Shadow as he launched his attacks at Metal.
Due to Metal being focused on his clash with his archenemy he was hit by this attack and sent back. Before he could look up Shadow was attacking him like a ferocious cheetah. Without his inhibitor rings his power was no longer tamed and he was out for blood this time.
"Hey Shadow! He was mine!" huffed the younger hedgehog but his complaint fell on deaf ears.
"This time I won't hold anything back you creep!" stated Shadow as he kicked Metal into the air.
As the metal hedgehog was sent upwards Rouge was waiting for him and just as he reached her level she kicked him into a wall. Metal smashed right through the wall.
"That was fairly easy," she said unimpressed with Metal Sonic's supposed power.
"Oh it's not over yet," said Sonic still in his battle position.
"For once the hedgehog said something with sense!" called out Metal's voice.
"That really didn't do it!?" growled Shadow. He knew he wouldn't be able to keep this up long. He could feel his energy slipping away every second.
Metal walked back through the hole in the wall with his Black Shield surrounding him.
"If you think puny attacks like that will work then you might as well give up now!" the metallic demon said cockily as he started charging up a dark energy ball.
"Oh here we go..." said Sonic. He remembered Metal almost used this move on Tails when they battled before. Though Sonic stopped Metal from using this move he knew that this attack was deadly and this time Metal still had his shield up so he couldn't be attacked while getting his move ready. "Everyone we have to get out of here! This move is dangerous!"
"I'm not going anywhere!" growled Shadow.
"Neither am I! That shield can't be indestructible!" claimed Rouge as she flew as high as she could in the air. "I'll smash right through it! Special move! Screw Kick Maximum!" Rouge started spinning at incredible speeds and aimed it right at Metal's Black shield focusing on one point hoping to break right through.
"Shadow stop her!" shouted Sonic. "She'll never break through! She'll just get hurt more!"
"You're really suggesting running away? I never thought I'd see the day," Shadow said as he started to glow a red colour once again. "If it's a special attack he wants to use I'll just use a stronger one!"
"Shadow... You're not gonna use the Chaos Blast... You can't use the Chaos Blast! This place will be rubble! We will be under the rubble!" Sonic frantically shouted.
"Got any better ideas? I will never run! I am the Ultimate Life Form!"
"Being the Ultimate Life Form won't mean a thing if you're dead!" Sonic said while rolling his eyes.
Rouge was still attacking at Metal's shield not slowing down in speed or getting weaker.
"You're so annoying. It was a nice try but now it's time for me to end this!" Metal said as his shield attacked emitting static.
Rouge not expecting this slowed down her speed and the static started to get stronger. She was almost instantly thrown back.
"I can't kick through!"
Metal dropped his shield. "Well it was nice playing with you but I've got other things to take care of. Goodbye rats! Special move! Spiritus Raptor!"
"I refuse to let it end like this! Special move! Chaos Blast!" yelled Shadow.
"Oh crap! This won't end well!" Sonic shouted as he quickly grabbed Rouge and ducked for cover.
Metal sent out his large dark black and purple energy ball directly towards the heroes while Shadow's blast started to surround the area destroying the walls of where they were. The two special attacks finally collided and caused a huge explosion.
It took 10 minutes for the dust to clear and there was no sign of any of the fighters. All that could be seen was just rubble. It seemed as if there was no signs of life at all eventually there was some movement. Someone was trying to make their way out of the rubble. A metallic hand pierced it's way through the rubble.
"Stupid hedgehog!" the angry robot said whilst clawing his way out of his rubble trap. "He was willing to kill all of us just so he wouldn't lose. Well too bad that he failed," Metal chuckled. "Now. Let me scan for his body under all this rubble so I can dig him out and get this emerald." said Metal whilst activating his scanners.
He walked around until his scanners picked up a life signature and a Chaos Emerald.
"There you are!" smirked the robot while digging through the rubble.
Eventually he pulled out the limp body of Shadow.
"Still alive! Quite surprising! What great power. Dare I say even amazing. Too bad you have limitations," chuckled Metal. "You know... It's such a shame that you decide to fight for G.U.N. we could have done great things together. Maybe if you survive, which is highly unlikely, you could take me up on that offer but until then... I'll take this," Metal said while taking the hedgehog's Chaos Emerald. "Well it's time for me to go!"
"Leaving so soon?" called a voice.
"No! I can't believe it" Metal growled while looking up. "Why won't you just die!?"
"I have to say dying isn't really my style," smirked Sonic while holding an unconscious Rouge. "Now you better hand over that Emerald or else!" he said while gently putting Rouge down.
"Or else what hedgehog?"
"Or else you're doing to have to deal with a hurricane," smirked the blue blur.
"Oh look who's over confident!"
"Well don't say I didn't give you a warning!" Sonic said as his body began to vibrate and suddenly vanished.
Metal Sonic got into his fighting stance preparing for any attack.
"Didn't think you'd be a runner hedgehog!" said Metal said smugly. "I have you scared do-"
Before the metallic hedgehog could finish, Sonic spin dashed into the back of his body. Before he could recover Sonic disappeared and reappeared in front of Metal and upper cut him into the air. Sonic then charged his spin dash until he was surrounded by a light blue outline.
"You're not the only one who's upgraded metal head! Special move! Light Speed Rush!" chanted Sonic and he disappeared in a flash.
Sonic reappeared above Metal and elbowed him towards again. He disappeared again leaving only afterimages and then reappeared below Metal. Before Metal hit the ground Sonic roundhouse kicked him and Metal soared through the air. Sonic dashed to catch up with him with ease and caught him in the air and leaped into the air while holding Metal up. Sonic crashed into the ceiling smashing Metal right through it and let Metal go leaving him to drop at a high speed. Metal was almost at the ground but was met by a spin dash coming from above which was so fast that it caused a sonic boom.
Metal smashed through the rubble on the ground and Sonic reappeared next to Rouge's body with the light blue outline disappearing from his body.
"I told you! Never underestimate the original!" Sonic stated looking rather proud of himself. He knew that Metal would have survived that attack but at least he was down for a minute or so. Sonic looked at Rouge and Shadow. "Rouge will be okay but Shadow needs attention right away. I've got to get out of here!"
"You're not going anywhere you rodent!"
"Ah great. Just when I thought you learned your lesson," said Sonic as he rolled his eyes.
Metal flew back up through the hole he was smashed through.
"My data doesn't say anything about you being this fast!" Metal said furiously.
"Well numbers and data aren't always right. Especially when you're dealing with someone as awesome as me," the hedgehog said smugly "Besides Egghead's last attack made me realise that I need to push myself beyond my limits and create new ones and I'm doing a pretty great job if I do say so myself!" grinned Sonic. "Where is Dr. Eggman anyway? Whenever you're up to something he's not far behind,"
"Wow. The Doctor may not have been as useless as I thought if he managed to drive you to be serious. Maybe if I knew that I wouldn't of... disposed of him," chuckled the metal being.
"Wait... What!? What do you mean 'disposed of him'? You couldn't have..."
"Oh, but I did, and it was so easy!"
"You're a monster! You won't get away with this!"
"Ha! I did you a favour and you're still not grateful! No matter. You'll meet the same feat as your precious foe. You may have broken your speed limits but that will not stop me from destroying yo-"
"Sonic!?" yelled a familiar voice from close by.
"That sounds like... the pink nuisance! Ugh! So the great 'blue blur' had to call for back up? Oh how the mighty have fallen!"
"If you're so tough why don't you take us all on?" growled Sonic.
"I've already wasted enough time here besides got what I wanted," Metal said as he pulled out the Chaos Emerald he stole from Shadow. "Farewell! Chaos Control!"
"Oh no you don't!" Sonic said as he leaped after the metal hedgehog but before he could grab him Metal disappeared. Sonic landed on ground. "Damn! He got away again!"
"Sonic!? Are you okay!?" Amy shouted as she and the rest of the team ran towards the destroyed walk way. "Oh my God. What happened here?"
"Metal is what happened and he got away too," Sonic said annoyed at himself.
"Oh no! Shadow is in terrible condition! He's barely alive! We need to get him out of here!" Tails stated frantically.
"Rouge looks in pretty bad shape too. Metal is gonna pay for this!" growled Knuckles.
With that G.U.N. soldiers and medics showed up.
"Better late than never I suppose," Knuckles said rolling his eyes. He thought G.U.N. were the most useless organisation in the whole of Mobius.
The medics took Shadow and Rouge to the medical as quickly as possible.
"Where is Metal Sonic!?" said the lead soldier.
"Maybe you would know if you came straight away!" Sonic said. "Before this place was totalled by Shadow's Chaos Blast move there was a camera on the wall. Why didn't you send back up once you saw Shadow getting his behind handed to him! Some team you guys are!"
"You don't get to question us you vigilante! You're lucky we don't take you all for questioning!"
"How rude! We have helped you people for years and you still treat us like criminals. If you wasn't for us, 5 months ago Engman would have actually taken over the world and even then you can't respect us!" Amy said clearly frustrated.
"Let it go Amy. Let's just see how Shadow and Rouge are doing." Sonic said walking off.
"Hey! You can't just go!" said the leading soldier.
"Watch us!" said Sonic as he continued walking with his gang following behind him.
End Of Chapter.
So sorry that this one took so long guys! Life and stuff got in the way lol. This was a pretty fun one to write lots of action and interaction between Sonic and Metal Sonic. Also we got to see that Sonic is much faster than he usually is in the games. This is all down to Dr. Eggman's last plot which will be revealed more when the story goes on! We also got to see quite a few special moves in this one. Metal's Spiritus Raptor in actual action and Shadow's Chaos Blast which as you guys read have quite a bit of power behind it. Fun! (Lol). We also got to see Rouge's special move Screw Kick Maximum. I was inspired by her Screw Kick move in Sonic X and kinda just made it stronger lol. Also along with Sonic's faster movement there's a new special move from him. The Light Speed Rush which was fun to write! We also got to see the Freedom Fighters 'relationship' with G.U.N. and it's obviously not a good one lol. Well I hope that you guys enjoyed this one and it was worth the wait! Thanks for reading! Please comment!
