Chapter 10: Demon Lord Ambush
Demacia…
Sonic and Spiral went to get some more supplies on their next journey while Kenny tinker with the Sandshark, checking if everything is in order and ready to go. The exceed check the fuel for the vehicle knowing it still good now that they have some more lacrima on the way to refuel it up. The hedgehogs arrive with the supplies and puts it in the back for the journey.
"Is everything ready?" Sonic asked.
"Yep. Everything's ready to go so I'm ready whenever you are." Kenny reported.
"Good to know. I'll start up the ride." Spiral said getting into the vehicle to start it up.
"So where do you think we'll be heading next?"
"I don't know, do you still have that map?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah. I'm sure there are still some places we can check out."
"Right."
"So did you happen to get some more first aid kits in case we need some?"
"Yeah. Got to be ready for anything, right?"
"Yep. You know it."
Fiora approach to the team catching the trio's attention. Sonic approach to Fiora wondering what she wanted.
"Come to say goodbye?" Sonic asked.
"Yes. And to wish you three the best of luck out there, hoping you all be safe." Fiora responded placing her hand on her waist.
"Thanks. We can take care of ourselves out there other than that, we've been through tough situations before because we're Team Sonic."
"Yes. I know and thank you again for helping us bring the lacrima to our beloved city of Demacia from those pirates. I am forever grateful of your help."
"It's no big, we was just only doing our job. It's what we do to help people."
Fiora smile at Sonic's comment. She then approach Sonic closely and kiss him on the cheek.
"Take care of yourself out there and that goes the rest of you. Please come back anytime, you're all welcome here to Demacia." Fiora offered.
"Thanks a bunch. We'll see you around Fiora and keep this city safe, it's very beautiful by the way." Sonic retorted.
"I will and so long."
Sonic smile and joins with Kenny and Spiral to enter in the sandshark and the group take off heading off wherever they go on their journey.
Meanwhile, around the Wastelands…
*BGM: Blue Stahli – I am the Beast*
The demon lords who are on the hunt for Team Sonic to kill them so that they can do whatever they want in this new world that they're in. Cocytus try to search for the hedgehogs from their scent as Lorelei and Kyoko look around the place.
"You know, this world isn't half bad from Mobius. Dar Gaia would be alive and we could've own Mobius if it wasn't for Sonic for putting the world back together." Kyoko admitted.
"Yes. This world somehow… it could provide the satisfaction I need and I sure can some new servants to serve me as my slaves. I'm sure there are a lot of water places that can provide the home I'm looking for." Lorelei responded.
"I have to admit, this world has potential. I am dying to see what's more out there and I'm sure there are a lot of men that can serve me as well. Especially Sonic, perhaps I can resurrect his corpse as a zombie, he'll forever be my guardian for the rest of the eternity."
"I don't care about that, all I want is to kill that blue bastard and get what I wanted." Acid said crossing his arms.
"We all do and right now we should be focusing on finding Sonic and once we find him and his cousin, they'll burn into ashes with my fury of flames." Molotov reminded creating the flames from his palms.
"True. We're just only socializing to kill off some time while Cocytus finds Sonic and his cousin." Kyoko responded with a smile.
"Hey Lorelei how is you're singing going on? Do you still sing for time to time?"
"Yes. I have a new song to attract Sonic's attention to his grave. He'll meet my serpents soon enough." Lorelei responded crossing her arms.
"Speaking of which, hey Cocytus have you tracked Sonic's scent yet?' Acid asked.
"We're working on it, give us a second." Cocytus answered in unison.
"We better track Sonic soon or else I'm going to kill you." The right head Phlegethon said.
"Shut up! I'm doing the best I can!" The middle head Styx retorted.
"Can it! Let's just find Sonic and break him into dust already!" The left head Acheron reasoned.
"I do remember they argue at times." Lorelei remembered.
"You're telling me sister." Kyoko agreed rolling her eyes.
The Cerberus try to pick up the scent of the hedgehogs. Styx, Phlegethon, and Acheron trying their best to catch the hedgehog' scent while the other demon lords follow behind. They decide to try the train rails hoping they could track it and Pharoeh ascends up in the air to scout around for the hedgehogs. Cocytus suddenly stopped, the Cerberus mobian suddenly caught the hedgehog's scents and notifying the other demon lords.
"We caught their scent, we can find where they are now." Cocytus informed.
"About time, I was starting to lose my patience." Acid said in relief.
"Yes. I was getting a little bored anyway so now we can find Sonic and his cousin." Kyoko added.
"So now that Cocytus has their scents, we can go and kill them now." Molotov exclaimed.
"Do you happen to know where they are by any chance?" Lorelei asked.
"Yes. They're twenty seven miles away, we can catch them by surprise if we can ambush them." Cocytus answered.
"Good. Now time to barbecue a hedgehog. I can get us there, let's all form up." Molotov ordered.
The demon lords group up and Molotov surround himself and the demon lords the whirlwind of flames and teleported to a different location.
Meanwhile, in the woods…
Team Sonic had driven miles away from Demacia, heading wherever they go on their journey. Sonic relax himself enjoying the ride and Kenny going through his computer, checking up some updates or news about what's going on around Fiore or different places and Spiral smile while he drove the vehicle. Spiral look to Sonic who is taking it easy and start to start a conversation.
"It's been quiet since we been riding smoothly huh?" Spiral asked.
"Yeah. It sure has. I wish we could listen to some… wait a second. I know I still have it here." Sonic remembered.
"Have what exactly?" Kenny inquired.
Sonic look through his backpack and takes out his music player that he has back when he was still at Mobius.
"I forgot that I have this." Sonic presented.
"That's perfect. We can listen to something for a change." Spiral responded.
"Well if that's going to make the ride to be exciting, I'm down to listen to whatever you guys want to listen to." Kenny said.
"Trust me buddy, you're going to love it. Also it's been a while since we listen to some music." Sonic remembered.
"Yeah. I totally forgot about that since we went up to Tartarus Island to get the stones."
"Enough with the talking, put it in already." Spiral demanded.
"Ok. Now need to be feisty about it." Sonic retorted.
Sonic hooks the music player up and find a song to play.
"So which song are you going to play?" Spiral asked.
"Hmm… let me see… oh I know a song we can play." Sonic responded smiling.
Sonic play a song that he knows very well, even Spiral and by that playing a song: Linkin Park – Numb. Spiral begin to bop his head remembering this song that he hasn't heard for years now.
"Oh this is my jam! I remember this song. We sing to this all the time when we hanged out." Spiral said.
With that, Sonic and Spiral begin to sing along to the song.
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Sonic and Spiral begin to jam at the song, Kenny started to bop his head liking the song and the rhythm of the song including the voice of the song.
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Kenny turn off his laptop and join in with the hedgehogs singing to the song and jam with the hedgehogs.
Can't you see that you're smothering me,
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you.
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you.
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take.
"WOO! Sing it Chester!" Spira shouted.
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you.
And I know
I may end up failing too.
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you.
"This is the best part. Sing it with me now!" Sonic shouted as Spiral and Kenny sing the hook with the blue blur.
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,
Become so tired, so much more aware.
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you.
That's when Sonic turn the volume up.
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
"Oh man I sure miss this song? That was awesome. Let's try another Linkin Park song, cousin." Spiral suggested.
"That's their band name. Linkin park?" Kenny asked.
"Oh yeah, they're awesome with the capital A. Here listen to this." Sonic answered playing a song.
Sonic begin to play a song: Linkin Park – In the End. Spiral even bops his head.
"Oh hell yeah! I remember this song, also you got to listen how Sonic rap to this Kenny." Spiral said.
"No, I don't think I should." Sonic refused.
"Come on, you nailed it down when we sing this song together."
"Well… alright, why not."
Sonic begin to rap to the lyrics as the song begin to play.
(It starts with one)
One thing I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
(All I know)
All I know time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
(It's so unreal)
It's so unreal, didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, did-didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
(Watch you go)
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard
Spiral and Kenny begin to sing the hook of the song.
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
"Talk to em, Sonic!" Spiral shouted while jamming.
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how I tried so hard
(I tried so hard)
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so far
(Far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end
(In the end)
You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard
Sonic join with Kenny and Spiral to sing to the song.
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
Spiral turn up the volume just a little more.
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
"That song was amazing! Never knew they would be so talented." Kenny complimented.
"I told you. They're awesome!" Spiral retorted.
"Yeah. I never had fun like this for a while and it sure brings back memories doesn't it Spiral?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah man. We never got the chance to have fun like this and boy was it wonderful. We should do this again more often."
"If we don't make too much noise to the neighbors." Kenny added.
"You know, you're right Kenny. Sometimes it would draw too much noise that would annoy the neighbors. Let's try to turn it down a notch that way we can avoid less attraction."
"Ain't that the truth?" Spiral commented.
Sonic, Kenny, and Spiral relax while enjoying the ride. Sonic went bac to taking it easy while Kenny begin to tinker with some few gadgets and Spiral kept driving. The trio continue to ride and head on wherever the journey leads them. Spiral then makes a turn to a new direction hoping this turn could lead a shortcut to wherever they're heading to. Seconds after, while riding the trio then begin to hear a voice, a female voice and it appears to be singing like a true siren. The voice was so smooth, soft, divine, and the way of the sweet melody echoing caught the trio's attention by the beautiful voice. Sonic, Kenny, and Spiral begin listening to the divine voice and Spiral begin to smile. Sonic then look over to Spiral asking him a question.
"Uh Spiral, did you turn on a song?" Sonic asked.
"I don't think so. I've been driving most of the time and didn't bother touching your music player." Spiral retorted.
"I know I didn't turn it on automatic like a repeated button."
"You did turned it off right, then why am I still hearing that voice."
"I don't know about you guys but I'm enjoying that voice sounding like a true angel." Kenny complimented.
"More like a siren if you ask me."
*BGM: I.O.N – Ignored*
Unware their surroundings, as Spiral continue driving still listening to the voice of an angel singing. Few seconds after, something came from underground and appears to be a geyser of ice rising from underground and it lifted up the vehicle that Team Sonic is riding. The vehicle flew up in the air after the geyser of ice lifted up that stop the three from moving, Sonic, Kenny, and Spiral jump out of the vehicle as Sonic did a corkscrew flip, Kenny activating his angel wings, and Spiral doing a double backflip and both Sonic and Spiral lands on the ground perfectly with Kenny descending down to the ground to join with Sonic and Spiral.
The three look at the big geyser of ice with spike and the vehicle begin crashing down as it roll three times before it stop as it is not a wreck. Sonic, Kenny, and Spiral wondered where the ice came from until something coming to their right and sees the tree coming down as someone is coming right at them. Sonic and Spiral got ready for whatever it is coming at them then suddenly, someone burst through the trees with a loud roar charging at Sonic and Spiral and clothesline both of the hedgehogs at the same time then it grab Sonic and swung him around tosses Sonic over to the vehicle and Sonic crashed brutally against it creating a big dent to it.
Spiral launches up in the air, deliver an axe kick but the monster then bit Spiral by the leg and slams him down to the ground. It was about to deliver a brutal punch to the wind dragon slayer but Kenny burst in, grabs Spiral just in the nick of time before the punch could impact him as it hit the ground inside. Spiral and Kenny roll on the ground before getting back up. Sonic, Kenny, and Spiral get a clear look to see the attacker and it was a seven foot Cerberus who appears to be a mobian and it roared.
"What the hell! Is that a Cerberus and it's a mobian!" Spiral noticed.
"I never in my life seen a mobian that appears to be a Cerberus." Sonic commented.
Sonic's Chaos Sense went off and look behind him and sees some flying flaming feathers coming at them.
"Look out!" Sonic warned.
Team Sonic gets out of dodge as the flying feathers coming at them so they evade the flaming feathers. Unaware, someone then comes in fast in super speed and start to beatdown Sonic and Spiral, delivering some slashes with its claws damaging Sonic and the Cerberus begin charging at them but Sonic and Spiral gets out of dodge. Kenny ascends up in the air, trying to fight back when a few more flaming feathers come out of nowhere towards Kenny, making the exceed to dodge away. Kenny then gets struck flying blades coming at him, slashing the exceed that attack Kenny and it made Kenny fall down to the ground. Sonic rushes over at Kenny to save him but he gets truck down by a metal ball to the ground.
"SONIC!" Spiral cried.
Spiral gets out of the way from the Cerberus and rushes over to save his friend. Suddenly, a phoenix comes in, dive kicks Spiral down to the ground but Spiral kicks the phoenix away and Sonic charges at the phoenix and delivers a flying kick. The two hedgehogs then hear the voice singing once again and turn to see where the voice is coming from. They get a good look as the figure appears to be the female with the beautiful voice. It was a female hydra continuing to sing and it seem to be mesmerizing the blue blur.
"Come to me Hedgehog, listen to my song and drown in the water you detest so much." The female provoked.
Sonic being controlled by the voice, he then come to her and Spiral look over to his cousin. The female hydra smiled, then she begun summoning a serpent's head from her back then it start to attack and kill Sonic but Kenny tackles Sonic to protect and safe his best friend and snap him out of it.
"Sonic snap out of it! The voice in controlling you." Kenny reasoned.
Sonic shakes his head, back to reality and sees Kenny. Sonic then sees the Cerberus shot an ice beam from their mouths at the two so Sonic hold Kenny and dodge away the ice beam and Spiral dodging the metal spikes and regroup with Sonic and Kenny.
"Who the hell are these guys?" Spiral pondered.
"Yeah that's what I want to know." Sonic retorted.
"Look!" Kenny pointed.
Sonic and Spiral look over to see the Cerberus, the hydra, and the phoenix regroup and two more joining with them as the five of them slowly approaching Team Sonic. It was a grey green manticore and the grey kyuubi joining with the other demon lords.
"Who are these guys and what do they want?" Kenny wondered.
"I don't know but it looks like we're in for a fight." Sonic said with a stern look.
The Cerberus begin picking up the vehicle with his herculean strength surprising Team Sonic and tosses it over at the trio. Team Sonic eventually dodges away the sandshark and it crash towards the tree causing it to break into pieces as the Cerberus destroyed the vehicle.
"Oh man! That was my favorite ride!" Spiral shouted angrily.
"Who are you guys, what do you want from us?" Kenny asked.
"Looks like they have a cat. How adorable." Kyoko complimented.
"We're here to kill you Sonic and your cousin too. Since you guys have a cat involve we won't mind killing it too." Cocytus threatened.
"Lay one hand on my partner and you're ass is history." Sonic threatened giving the demon lords a warning.
"Your threats are meaningless to us demon lords." Lorelei countered.
"Demon Lords… no way…"
"Sonic, you heard about them?" Spiral asked.
"Tails was telling me about there were mobian demon lords through a book he read but I never knew they existed."
"That's because Dark Gaia had summoned us when the world shattered apart." Kyoko mentioned.
"Dark Gaia… what…?"
"Sonic, what are they talking about? Who's Dark Gaia?" Kenny asked.
"A dark beast that was hidden under ground of Earth ears ago. My arch nemesis, Dr. Eggman discovered Dark Gaia and was responsible to shatter the world apart. Luckily, Chip aka Light Gaia helped me travel all over the world to reconnect the world with the power of Chaos Emeralds and help defeat Dark Gaia for good. What I'm trying to figure out is how they have ties with Dark Gaia?"
"If you want to know, we've been imprisoned for years and there was no way to get out but Dark Gaia had sent its monsters to free us knowing what power we possess and just when we could rule part of the world that it promised us until you came in ad restore the world and it sent us back to our prison." Acid informed.
"Now we're free thanks to Scar, we can do whatever we want and what we want is REVENGE!" Cocytus shouted in unison.
"Scar… that name sounds familiar…" Kenny murmured to him.
"If you want my cousin then you demon chumps are going to have to get through me." Spiral said stepping in front of Sonic.
"We're not just going to kill Sonic, we're here to kill you as well Spiral." Molotov stated.
"They know who I am?"
"You're Sonic's cousin and we know about you. It'll make the job easier to kill both of you hedgehogs on the same day." Acid said.
"And once we're done, we're going to pick up where we left off and rule this new world that Scar promised us." Kyoko added.
"Like hell you are. Not if we stop you." Spiral countered.
"Yeah that's right, there is no way you're not going to create chaos in this world for your amusement." Kenny said stepping in.
"Kenny, stay out of this. Me and Spiral can handle these guys, you just give us support whenever you can." Sonic ordered.
"Got it. I have plenty of useful bombs I've been meaning to try out since I did a few upgrades."
"Looks like the two of you against the demon lords. How are you going to stop us?" Molotov questioned.
"With this!"
*BGM: Blue Stahli – Let's Go*
Sonic let out a loud roar and begin transforming into Super Sonic, then ascends up to level three becoming Super Sonic 3.
"You want me, come and get me!" Sonic provoked.
Sonic dashes over at Cocytus and punches Styx right in the face and sends the Cerberus flying and crashing through a few trees. Sonic curls himself up into a ball and circling around and creates a light blue tornado and pulls Acid in and delivers a brutal heel kick knocking him a feet away. Spiral activates his Dragon Force and joins in on the fight. Lorelei hurls her serpents at the wind dragon slayer but Spiral pushes them back with wind blowing from his palms and dives down and kick her in the abdomen then hits her with a flash kick sending her up in the air and crashing down to the ground. Kyoko summon her two metal katanas and swung them at Spiral. Spiral uses his speed to dodge away the katana and gets behind Kyoko for a strike but the kyuubi smirked and summons the metal from underground and sends Spiral up in the air.
Molotov flew up in the air and damage Spiral with a couple of strikes and traps Spiral in the whirlwind of fire and snap his fingers causing the whirlwind to explode in flames. Spiral did an aerial recover and counters Molotov with a Wind Dragon Cyclone Fist knocking the phoenix away with a punch straight to his face. Sonic deliver some multiple rapid punches to Cocytus straight to the abdomen and delivers a brutal sidekick sending his flying away but Cocytus stopped himself and launches up in the air and clothesline Sonic making him flipping backwards then slam down his fist to the ground creating a small crater with cracks along with it.
Acid launches up in the air and dives down towards Sonic and readied his tail, Sonic Chaos Control and teleports out of the way as Acid slams his tail down, accidentally cause it to get stuck. Sonic reappear and spin dashes Acid then kicks him up in the air and takes out his bow and aims it as Acid and shot an arrow wit energy around it impaling Acid and cause it to explode damaging the manticore. Sonic launches up in the air and shot a few arrows as Cocytus charge in and try swinging his fists at the hero. Cocytus even breathe an ice beam from their mouths right at Sonic.
Sonic dodging the beam not wanting to get freeze until suddenly, Cocytus summons a big ice boulder and throws it at Sonic, hitting the hedgehog and sends him back down to the ground and cause the ice to shatter into pieces. Sonic rolling backwards and try to get back on his feet and Acid uses his speed and damage Sonic from different angles weakening the hero. Sonic had enough and slam his fist down creates a light blue shockwave of energy and stop Acid's movement using Chaos Impact, shocking him temporarily then Sonic blasted a shockwave of blue energy knocking away Acid using Sonic Wind. Cocytus comes out of nowhere and grabs Sonic by the face and slam him down to the ground, grinding Sonic against the ground leaving the trail then tosses him over through several tress and hits the ground.
Spiral dodging the fire and Kyoko metal balls and hurls them over at Spiral as one of them knocks him down as he try to dodge it. Molotov dives down with flames into his hands ready to burn the wind dragon slayer but Spiral blasted a shockwave of wind from his body with the use of his new ability: Wind Dragon Burst. Spiral creates stream of wind and hurl it over at Molotov and smack his away using Wind Dragon Wind Attack then dodges another metal ball and shot an arrow of wind over at Kyoko but she blocks it off creates a metal shield.
Spiral appears behind Kyoko to go for a strike but Kyoko somehow parries it, counters Spiral with a high kick and struck him in the abdomen pushing him back a feet away with her palm. Kyoko then summons her sais and charges at Spiral and strike him with the use of her ninjutsu fighting style. Spiral dodging her strikes, she was very quick on her speed and her speed is amazing and Spiral counters Kyoko but she counters back with a flash kick and a flying kick hitting Spiral in the face and shoot out multiple metal arrows at Spiral from her palms and tosses a few knives but Spiral dodges the knifes and got the arrows off of him knowing he's bleeding and use the first aid spray to heal himself up a bit.
"You can't outmatched my ninjutsu, Spiral. You have no chance against me." Kyoko said getting into her ninjutsu fighting stance.
"No chance? Stop playing, we know you're going to be defeated you can't defeat Team Sonic." Spiral contered.
"Oh really? Tell me Spiral, how are you feeling right now?"
Spiral cocked his eyebrow wondering what she meant but start to feel funny and his Dragon Force deactivates and he knelt down clutching his head.
"What the hell did you do to me?" Spiral questioned.
"I put a curse on you, you will become mine soon enough my handsome dragon slayer." Kyoke answered slowly approaching the hedgehog.
"I will not become yours! I'm a free hedgehog you bitch."
"Come now, Spiral the Hedgehog. Become a part of me, I'll show you the greatest of all pleasures."
"No… NO!"
Spiral try fighting the curse but Kyoko continue to put the pressure on the wind dragon slayer. Kenny sees this and wasn't going to let that happen.
"This should be a great opportunity to test out my new gadgets. I hope this works." Kenny said.
Kenny pulls out a customize bomb and begin tosses it over at Kyoko and it hits her and explodes causing her to back away Spiral from the damage and Spiral felt the curse has lifted and begin charge up and harness his chaos energy.
"Alright, time to bring in the big guns!" Spiral shouted.
Spiral roared and turns into Super Spiral becoming super just like Sonic and deliver a brutal punch that sends Kyoko flying through a tree with a scream in pain. Lorelei intervenes and hurls her serpents, commanding them to attack but Kenny tosses another bomb and electrocutes the serpents even Lorelei and Spiral then creates a blue energy ball and tosses it at Lorelei which explodes once it made its impact to Lorelei.
"Thanks Kenny!" Spiral shouted.
"No problem, glad I can help." Kenny responded with a thumbs up.
Molotov delivers a flaming kick out of nowhere right in the face and creates sword made of flames and deliver some massive damage with a few swings damaging Spiral with the fury of flames then blasted a flaming shockwave of fire from his palms sending Spiral flying and hits the ground. Molotov then spin himself and creates a tornado made of fire and shot multiple fire balls around and hits the trees and creates fire around the area.
"Burn in hell!" Molotov shouted.
Sonic sees this and the woods is now encase by the fury of flames made from Molotov himself. Sonic then charges at Molotov to stop him but Acid comes in and bashes him with his elbows and stops the hedgehog and hits the ground. Sonic try getting back up but Cocytus begin to howl loudly and the sounds making the hedgehog dizzy from this then Lorelei then traps Sonic in the bubble of water drowning him. Cocytus shoulder tackles Sonic through the bubble and slams him down with a powerbomb that shatter ground. Acid dashes ahead to Sonic and deliver some brutal strikes with the use of his claws and poisoning the hedgehog that cause Sonic to revert back to normal. Kyoko summons her staff and struck Sonic a few times before sending him up in the air and Molotov begin to finish it off by creating a gigantic sphere made of flames and hurls it over at Sonic and cause a powerful explosion of fire sending Sonic flying and screaming in agony.
"SONIC!" Spiral and Kenny shouted.
Sonic hits the ground and he got up on one knee, taking every punishment from the demon lords. Kenny and Spiral rush over to help him up.
"Are you ok?" Spiral asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine in one piece." Sonic responded.
"What do we do now?" Kenny asked.
"Does your bombs have smoke?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Use it. We're falling back to think of a strategy."
"On it."
Kenny takes out another bomb and slams it down creating a smoke around the three. Molotov and Acid rush over, preventing them from escape and just when they catch the three they were already gone.
"Looks like they ran away." Acid said.
"Don't worry, we'll find him. Cocytus will find them with their scent." Molotov mentioned.
"That's right, we'll find them and we will have our revenge!" Cocytus said in unison.
"They shouldn't got far so we'll catch them in no time won't we?" Kyoko said smiling sadistically.
"Indeed. I will not rest until I have Sonic feel my watery wrath and my serpents can eat him as their meal." Lorelei said unsummoning the serpents.
"Let's move, Sonic and the others shouldn't be far from here." Acid ordered.
The demon lords head on out, going after Team Sonic to finish the job.
