Ch.10: Knuckles Unleashed
Everyone was speechless in amazement as they watched Chaos Knuckles shoot into the sky and plow into Nazo. The silver hedgehog didn't have time to evade as Knuckles slammed his chest with a hard jab to the ribs.
"He's strong" thought Nazo " let's see how strong,"
With that thought in mind Nazo charged at Chaos Knuckles with a super spin. But Chaos Knuckles dissappeared before he could even be hit by Nazo's attack. As the silver hedghog wandered where his opponent dissappeared to Knuckles reappeared behind him and struck Nazo with a Chaos Spear.
Nazo cried out in pain from Knuckles fierce attack and launched a shining blue Chaos Blade at the echidna. Chaos Knuckles dodged it with ease and released his own Chaos Blade once again making Nazo cry out in pain.
From the sidelines all Super Shadow could do was watch in open mouth amazement. Never before had he seen Knuckles generate so much power that rivaled both his and Sonic's, yet on a much higher level.
Of course it made since when Shadow thought about it. After all Knuckles was the last living guardian of the Master Emerald, and the inscription on the back of Locke's reffered to him as 'Chaos Child'.
If you asked Shadow a few days ago he would have said those things wouldn't have made any sense. but now they did, and this fight was living proof of it.
With amazement Super Shadow watched as Chaos Knuckles formed a spear out of thin air and jabbed it into Nazo's chest. The silver hedgehog once again cried in pain as Shadow and everyone watching from the ground gasped.
The spear had struck a fatal blow to Nazo's heart, but despite the reality Nazo didn't fall. Instead, he plucked the spear out of his chest and flung it to the ground.
"Fool" said Nazo to Chaos Knuckles " I have no flesh and blood form. I cannot be killed. My Chaos powers make me immortal!"
"Even immortality doesn't last forever" said Chaos Knuckles, grabbing Nazo's arm " and I'm about to show you why,"
Before the others could even blink both Nazo and Chaos Knuckles dissappeared.
-----------------------------------------------------------
When Chaos Knuckles appeared over Angel Island again, the silver hedgehog broke free of Knuckles grip and got ready to continue the fight when he noticed something about the island looked different.
No wonder, both them were floating over an ancient city, and it was crawling with echidnas.
" No" said Nazo to Knuckles " what have you done? Where are we?"
"When" said Knuckles " this is your past as well as mine,"
" You mean when I was...?" said Nazo.
Suddenly realizing what Knuckles was going to do Nazo chased the glowing green echdina all the way to the Brotherhood base. The Brotherhood was more than surprised when the saw Knuckles and Nazo burst in, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
An echidna named Spectre, who couldn't be more apley named since he dressed like one, glismped the mark on Knuckles chest as he sped by shooting Chaos Spears at Nazo.
Nazo dodged and launched a super spin at Knuckles, Using his Chaos powers hoever Knuckles slowed down time and hit Nazo hard on the head making the silver hedgehog land unconious.
Chaos Knuckles noticed Spectre looking at him and materlized a note out of thin air and gave it to the stunned echidna.
" If you're wise you'll heed my instructions," said Chaos Knuckles, and with that he dissappeared.
------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as Chaos Knuckles dissappeared Spectre approached the other members of the Brotherhood with the note in hand.
"What was that?" said Hawk, great grandfather of Knuckles.
" Apparently a mistake that a Guardian of the Future was trying to prevent," said Spectre.
"What do you mean?" asked Remington, EST cop.
Spectre handed over the note Knuckles had given him for Remington and the rest of the Brotherhood to read. When they were all finished reading Spectre spoke up.
" I know we fear the future" he said " but we cannot deny the strentghs of our own people. If the mainlanders war does come to us we shall find a way to fight it, without the use of the Chaos Force,"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in present day, Shadow got out of his Super form and joined the others around Sonic's body, whose wound was still pouring blood. When Knuckles reappeared in front of them, out of his Chaos Form, he was astounded to see that Sonic was still bleeding. Had the Guardians of the past not heeded his warning?
" Knuckles" said Tails running to hug the echidna " what happened to Nazo?"
" He's gone" said Knuckles hopefully " is Sonic all right?"
"His skin's very cold and his pulse is slowing down" said Rouge, checking on the blue hedgehog's status " I hate to say it, but Sonic the hedgehog is dying,"
