Chaos Madness
-Chapter 10: It all ends Here-
"Where is Sonic?"
Chip was panting. "I…I don´t know!"
Blaze turned to see behind her, but saw that Sonic was not coming.
"I guess he stayed to help out Shadow."
"I guess so… we better find those Chaos Emeralds, now. It has to be done."
Chip nodded.
"Shadow said that the emeralds should come to us if they want to help us again. We need to get out of here."
"That won´t be necessary, Blaze!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Look!" Chip said pointing to something.
It was the red Chaos Emerald. Blaze and Chip walked to it, admiring how it was shining. Blaze took it and kept it with her.
"It looks like they DO want to help us…"
"Let´s find the others, then!"
Blaze nodded and both got out of Death Ruins, heading back to Central City, where they could look for the other emeralds.
-O-O-O-
One by one the Chaos Emeralds showed up in different places. Both Blaze and Chip traveled to Holoska, Spagonia, Water Palace, Night Carnival, in the blink of an eye; and finally to Green Forest, which was unknown for both travelers.
They entered and saw this green environment with ginormous trees and beautiful red flowers. There were vines hanging from them, and there were platforms that lead to higher places. There were also long trunks that passed through all the place. There was also a darker area that was deeper into the island: White Jungle. In the distance, Metal Harbor could be seen and what remained of Prison Island.
"We´re not the first ones… Someone was here before." Blaze said deeply as she looked the destroyed island in the distance.
"It seems that there was a HUGE explosion, doesn´t it?"
"Yeah. Anyway, let´s look for that last Chaos Emerald."
Both walked through the trunks, looking around for the emerald, gazing their surroundings.
"Chip, aren´t you also supposed to sense the chaos energy?"
"No, I just detect the Gaia Temples, which are like the shrines of the Chaos Emeralds. Holoska and Spagonia are places where some temples are located. The temples can restore the Chaos Emeralds if they have being sucked dry."
"Wow. It´s amazing how the world can have so many secrets."
"Yeah, and people say it´s a small world after all."
Blaze smiled. She enjoyed being with Chip. He was a nice guy and spending time with him was great. Passing through Night Carnival was like taking a kid to an amusement park. Chip ate a lot of chocolate and was really excited about being there, that Blaze had to remind him that they were looking for the emerald, not to have fun.
Suddenly, Tikal appeared in front of them. "Hello there, my friends."
"Oh, you´re the girl from before. Is something wrong?"
Tikal didn´t answer. Instead, she pulled out the white Chaos Emerald.
"Are you looking for this?"
Blaze and Chip just stared at each other in confusion.
"How… how did you..?" Blaze asked.
"Sonic and Shadow really need the Chaos Emeralds. Alongside with you Blaze, you´ll defeat Eggman Nega, and Dark Gaia will go. But you gotta do it, now! Go and find them. They must be still battling G.U.N. I sense the dark coming, and fast. Good luck!" And Tikal disappeared leaving the emerald in Blaze´s hand.
"Let´s head back then!" Chip exclaimed.
-O-O-O-
"How long this is gonna go on?" Sonic said furiously as more and more robots showed up shooting lasers towards him and Shadow, which were dodging them with no problem whatsoever.
"It´s useless to resist!" Jason exclaimed approaching to the duet with the finished version of the Diablon.
"Your efforts will be wasted!" Shadow said homing attacking Diablon.
"You hardened little hedgehog!"
"Heh." Shadow smirked. "How are you doing, Sonic?"
"I could use a little help here, you know!"
"I gotta deal with this, I´ll help you later."
"Shadow!"
"Ha! My troops will finish with you before you even notice." Jason exclaimed activating Diablon´s electromagnetic field, and shot missiles towards the hedgehogs.
"Seriously?!" Sonic said.
Both hedgehogs dodged its attacks and spin jumped to it, making damage to the robot. From the distance, a blazing fireball was heading towards them and crashed into Diablon, making Jason lose control over it. It was Blaze, and Chip who was waving "hi" when Blaze impacted in the machine.
"Sonic, Shadow. Your spiritual friend said there´s not much time left! We gotta defeat Nega and Dark Gaia right now!"
"All right… We´re almost done here." Shadow said.
Jason tried to drag himself out of Diablon when Shadow punched it and cracked its window. He pulled the Commander out and showed his face to the cameras, showing Shadow grabbing Jason´s neck. The GUN robots stop attacking Sonic and slowly backed down. A voice came out of the speakers:
"DO NOT harm the Commander!"
Shadow answered back.
"Why shouldn´t I?! After all he´s done, he deserves the worst…"
He threw Jason to the ground, seeing he was still bleeding from his leg. Sonic stood in the middle of them extending his arms, not letting Shadow pass.
"Shadow, you are seriously NUTS."
"Do you care?"
"YES, OF COURSE! I have to deal with you every day, and I don´t want to end up like this in a month!"
"Hmph." Shadow smirked. "Do you seriously think I´m going to kill him?"
Sonic looked doubtfully at him. "Maybe. Are YOU gonna kill him?"
"No. He deserves to live carrying guilt on his back." Shadow said looking at Blaze which was kind of terrified thinking in what Shadow was willing to do. Chip was also scared staring at him with great horror.
"So, are we good?" Blaze asked.
Shadow nodded and made her company on the way out. Sonic looked back to the main building and witnessed how soldiers where approaching the area to help out Jason.
"C´mon, Chip. Let´s get back to your little friend."
"Yeah… my "little friend."
Sonic smiled and both reached to Shadow and Blaze, which were getting out of Death Ruins.
-O-O-O-
"You´ve got all the emeralds?! You´re the best, Blaze!"
"It was not that difficult, Sonic. And Chip also helped me a lot."
"Yeah. I cooperated with Blaze and everything went out perfect!"
"Shadow was right. If the Chaos Emeralds wanted to help us, they would come to us, and they did."
"Good one, Shad!"
"Don´t get excited, Sonic." The black hedgehog replied rolling his eyes.
-O-O-O-
The group got to what Eggmanland once was, where Sonic and Chip went to the last Gaia temple. Eggman Nega was there to what seemed talking with Dark Gaia, which was already in its true, beast form again. Blaze pulled out the Sol Emeralds, transforming into Burning Blaze. She dashed to where Eggman Nega´s and kicked his Egg Mobile, which sent him flying to Dark Gaia´s main eye. It got really angry and grabbed the machine, sending it flying once again. This time, it landed at the other side of the place, where Sonic was.
"Heeeeello there, Nega!" Sonic said with his cocky attitude. "It looks that you´re a little lost here, right?"
"I´m not lost you idiot!" Nega said opening the Egg Mobile´s glass and pushed himself out of his broken invention. "What do you want?!"
"Just brought you a little present!"
"A present?"
"Yes, it´s called: Get Back to Your Own Dimension- inator!"
Sonic activated a button in his "present" which turned out to be Marine´s dimension travel prototype. The Chaos Emeralds surrounded Eggman Nega and slowly started to take him back to Blaze´s world.
"What?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! But, but I won! This can´t be the eeeeeeeeeeeeend!" And he disappeared in the white warp, leaving the Chaos Emeralds in the ground. Sonic took them at looked up to the sky.
"Well, that was easier than I thought. It looks like Nega is weaker than the real Eggman! Now the only thing is missing is to send back Dark Gaia where he came from."
-O-O-O-
"Are you sure it´s going to work?"
"It has to! Gaia Temples! Join with me!" Chip exclaimed inside Eggmanland´s Gaia Temple, making an earthquake appear, shaking the ground. Shadow leaned in one of the pillars and watched how the Gaia Temples were joining together, forming a giant, stone warrior. Unlike last time, the Gaia Temples were really close together, since Chip stayed with them underground, so it was really fast when they crashed together. The planet was becoming one. All the pieces of the continents were joining, and the Earth was going to be complete once again.
"See?"
"Alright, Chip. Let´s head back to the others, then."
"YEAH! Let´s rock!"
-O-O-O-
Sonic approached to the edge of the continent, where Burning Blaze was distracting Dark Gaia, going in circles around him. From the distance, Giant Colossus was seen by Sonic, flying towards Dark Gaia. Chip moved the Colossus and with its two arms, and it gave a giant smack to the monster. It roared fiercely and slapped Blaze, making her lose balance and almost falling to the burning lava that was beneath them, boiling hot. Sonic jumped to the Giant Colossus, landing in its chest beside Shadow. He pulled out the Chaos Emeralds, showing them to him.
"It all ends here, right?"
"Let´s hope so." Shadow replied.
They both powered up and became Super.
"If last time was almost difficult to defeat it, today is gonna be easier with you guys!"
"Let´s also hope that."
"I´m trying to help here, Shad!"
"Your voice isn´t helping a lot…" Shadow said looking at Dark Gaia which sent a punch to where both hedgehogs were standing. He dodge it and Sonic stopped its attack, holding it with his hands. In the meanwhile, Shadow dashed through one of his three left eyes, making it let Sonic go. Blaze returned to them and punched its three right eyes.
Dark Gaia roared in pain. It started throwing its arms heavily to Giant Colossus, which dodged its moves and punched it in the stomach. It backed down and created a shield surrounding him. It was supported by its tentacles. Sonic flew to them and started dashing to make the shield disappear. Shadow also helped out. Blaze headed back to Chip and waved him goodbye, just in case he had to go sooner, holding back Dark Gaia from returning to the surface. Chip also waved goodbye in form of the Colossus.
Sonic and Shadow managed to deactivate it temporarily. They gave a sign to Blaze and she dashed through its other two left eyes.
The monster slapped Sonic and Shadow back, making them fell on the Colossus head. It stroke back to the inferior temples, which by the impact, floated away, going back to its original countries. Just the Colossus head was left, making Chip unable to attack again.
Sonic and Shadow stood up. Blaze approached to them.
"It sure is more powerful than before!" Sonic exclaimed amused.
"And you said it was going to be easier." Shadow said sighing.
"Guys, you can´t just give up like that! Let´s continue!" Chip exclaimed encouraging the team.
"Do you have a plan, Chip?" Blaze asked.
"Look, we´re just missing its middle eye. How hard can it be?"
Dark Gaia roared again, but louder. It recreated its eyes and its shield again, but they seemed stronger and the group´s attacks were now taking less damage.
Sonic, Shadow, and Blaze tried to dash through the shield, but it was impossible.
"Shadow! You´ll have to do a Chaos Blast!"
Shadow nodded. "It´s the only way if we want to get to Dark Gaia. I suggest you stay with Chip for the moment."
Sonic and Blaze did as Shadow said. He approach as much as he could to the monster, dodging the rocks it was throwing now. "CHAOS… BLAST!"
The blast cracked Dark Gaia´s shield wide open, creating a big hole where Sonic and Blaze quickly entered before it regenerated. Sonic and Blaze spin together and went through the creature´s main eye.
Dark Gaia slowly fell to the lava, disappearing into it like the last time. Chip and Shadow watched how Sonic and Blaze returned.
"Guys, thanks a lot! But, you have to go now, before the Earth finishes joining." Chip said sadly as everyone else nodded. The heroes left, leaving Chip once again in the underground, protecting the Earth from Dark Gaia as it should be. As Sonic reached the surface, he whispered: "Farewell, Chip." And a small tear rolled through his cheek.
-O-O-O-
Sonic, Shadow, and Blaze returned to their normal states. Sonic gave Marine´s device to Blaze.
"I guess you´ll have to go now." Sonic said.
"Indeed. You know that both sets of emeralds can´t remain together for much time, now. So, I´ll be going."
Shadow just nodded and Sonic stretched his hand. Blaze shook hands with him and waved goodbye to both. Blaze pushed the button and the Sol Emeralds started to go around her.
"Blaze?! Just one more thing!" Sonic shouted.
"What is it?"
"Tell Nega to come back soon, so we can see each other again!"
Blaze smiled but didn´t answer. She disappeared in the warp before she could say a word.
Sonic turned to Shadow just to see him looking at the horizon, where the Chaos Emeralds were being divided again and the sun was setting in the mountains.
Shadow turned to Sonic.
"It looks like the day was saved once again, huh?"
"Yep. And all thanks to us. Now the president will be busy restoring the cities. Imagine how much work it´ll take to save the countries and all that stuff. It reminds me how…"
Sonic continued talking while Shadow tried not to lose his patience as they walked to nowhere. Now that the world was again safe, who knew what challenge could arrive the next day.
"…things were with Perfect Chaos. I mean THAT, was CRAZY! All Station Square was flooded. Talking about Station Square, that city is cursed or something. Because, you know, every time it is destroyed. I mean is kind of confusing, right? Anyways, going back to the beginning…"
"Sonic, I get it. You can shut up now."
"Okay, fine."
Shadow smiled as Sonic rolled his eyes.
"Where do you want to go?" Shadow asked him.
"I dunno. Hmm. I have an idea! Let´s go to Chun-nan and in the way there, let´s help people out."
"Alright. Why do you want to go to that place?"
"Just because it´s great! I didn´t get to know it pretty well when I was with Chip, I want to really explore its surroundings!" Sonic said happily.
"Okay… Let´s go."
"Yay! We´ll have lots and lots of fun together, you´ll see!"
"Hmph, fine!"
Sonic took the lead and both headed to Chun-nan, hoping to see a new venture, when the sun rose the next day.

"!"
"So, decided to void your return ticket now, did you?"
"Why are you here? Did you ruin this world?"
"The answer´s yes and no. Perhaps it´s better to show you. *SNAP*"
"?!"
"Yes, that´s you. After the world was devastated by Iblis´ flames, what do you think happened? A search for the guilty. Who did this you may ask? Humanity wasn´t just jealous of your power. They feared it."
"…"
"They used this incident as an excuse to hunt you down. Come with me, Shadow. Let us punish this foolish world of humanity. It is only fair to give back what was intended for you. You have every right to want justice."
"That´s absurd… Wait, no… Actually, you´re right… Let´s punish the world for what they did!"
"Yes, Shadow! Let´s end with humanity!"
That ending... Familiar?
Thanks again for all the support, guys!
Stay tune for the final part of "SURVIVE"
See ya until then!
