Stage 10: Sonic's Hidden Power

The sun had set and the clear sky grew darker. The theme parks bright lights fell upon the ground, eerily illuminating everyone on it. Some of the workers turned on the searchlights to get signals on the scene. A helicopter even flew in what was left of the park with a searchlight of its own. Standing on the wide platform which what was left of Crystal Cavern was Sonic the Hedgehog facing the Egg Minotaur that had Eternal Sailor Moon and the Master Emerald trapped inside. His friends, the other Scouts, and the crowd watch in anxiety as the battle to decided the heroine's fate was about to unfold.

"You may have defeated the Master Emerald alone once before, Sonic," Eggman sneered, "But let's see how you handle TWO Master Emeralds!"

Sonic just grinned, "We'll just have to see now won't we, doctor?"

"Yes! Let's see!" the Egg Minotaur presided to slam its fist on to the hedgehog, but the Azure Wind jumped from it. Amazingly, platform wasn't damaged. Sonic then used his Homing Spin to damage it.

"Bah! Is that all you have!?"

"Not even close!"

"Take this!" Eggman shouted as he used multiple cross punches against the hedgehog who jumped over them with ease. As the battle commenced, everyone from down below looked on anxiously.

"I never thought that the day of someone using the Silver Imperium Crystal for evil would come," Pluto moaned with her hand over her mouth.

"And with something else that's just as powerful as the Crystal," Neptune nodded, "Dose that hedgehog really think that he could defeat something that strong?"

"He'll get fried!" Uranus agreed.

"Urg… don't worry about it," Knuckles grunted as he continued to wince, "He's done these thing many times before!"

"Get a load of this!" the Egg Minotaur fired five missiles from its back. Sonic spun into a ball and used the missiles like stepping stones and damaged it five times then land back on the platform.

"Gah! Let's see try and get away from this, Sonic!" the war machine then fired a twin energy cannon from its left fist and dragged it from left to right. Though Sonic eluded it, he could still hear Eternal Sailor Moon and Knuckles grunting in pain.

"Eggman, this isn't worth it!" Sonic shouted, "If you keep on abusing Sailor Moon's power, you'll kill her!"

"Normally I don't like killing, but if it means getting rid of you and her at the same time, that's a risk I'm willing to take!"

"Okay then, you wanna continue the party? Fine!"

"Dodge this if you can!" this time, the Egg Minotaur used rapid jabs on the platform, hoping to get the rebel in process. But with his signature speed never failing him, he avoided them. The machine then used its right fist to fire an energy machine gun and Sonic dodged it. The Egg Minator opened some components on its arms and some round projectiles came flying out. Sonic used them as stepping stones and damaged the head again with five more hits.

"Gah!"

"Another direct hit!" Venus shouted.

"He really knows what he's doing," Mars said, "Of course, I was the one who questioned his behavior…"

"That's right!" Amy smiled, "Sonic never gives up, no mater how big are powerful the enemy is!"

"Get a load of this!" Eggman used multiple lasers from the shoulders of his machine that still drained the energy of Eternal Sailor Moon and the Master Emerald. Sonic jumped over them with ease. He then used another power punch against Sonic, but like before he evade it and damaged it. Once again he used multiple cross punches but the Azure Wind jumped from. The machine than raised its arms over the platform and fired homing lasers at the hedgehog, "Ha ha! It's no use, give up!"

"Better not jinx it, doc!" Sonic shouted as he still dodged them.

"See if you can get away from this, Sonic!" Eggman shouted as he slammed the huge fist on the platform. Sonic ran up the arm as it came down and gave the head five hits again.

"Ah! He's not going to get away with this!"

"It looks like Sonic is actually wining!" Saturn gasped.

"Maybe he has a chance in this after all!" Jupiter smiled.

That was when the civilians realized that Sonic was truly the hero. Despite the difference in species, he was he to save them not hurt them. Instantly, everyone cheered his name, hoping that it would help give him the power to save their future queen.

"SONIC! SONIC! SONIC! SONIC! SONIC! SONIC!"

'You hear that, Eggman?" Sonic smirked, "At least these guys know a rotten egg when they see one!"

"This isn't over!" now really angered, Eggman fired the missiles again, but like before the Azure Wind used them as stepping stones to reach the head and hit it five times more, "No way! I don't believe this!" The machine's hit points were almost gone and now Eggman was getting desperate.

"Rah! I should have done this sooner!" Eggman snarled as he engaged the double shoulder cannons again, "ALL SYSTEMS FULL POWER!" As the cannons began to power up again, Knuckles and Eternal Sailor Moon's screams were so loud, they echoed throughout the park.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

At the same time, Sonic started to spin in place. When he stopped, he glowed in a green aura.

"Ready…!"

"I've waited a long time for this!!" Eggman shouted as he fired the lasers from opposite direction, but then the started to get to Sonic closer… closer… closer…

"GO!"

Before the lasers could touch him, Sonic blasted off in lightning speed and slammed through the chest of the Egg Minotaur, where Eternal Sailor Moon and the Master Emerald were being held. As quick as a wink, Sonic unhooked the Guardian of Life and Justice and cradled her safely.

"You came back…" she said weakly.

"Hey, what are heroes for?" he said with a wink. With that, he jumped up and crashed to the cockpit with the aura still protecting them.

In the cockpit itself, Eggman was yelling in fury. He used the power of the Master Emerald AND the Eternal Scout and he still couldn't defeat the blasted hedgehog. All that work for nothing.

"No, no, no, NO! How can this be!? How can that hedgehog withstand that kind of power!? It just isn't possible!" At that moment, the control panel crashed opened and the two heroes appeared out of the smoke. Sonic quickly swiped the two Chaos Emeralds that was hocked on to the controls.

"You won't be needing these now!" Sonic grinned.

In a flash, Sonic jumped out of the machine with Eternal Sailor Moon still in his arms as the war weapon exploded in a huge blast. As they were falling, Sonic noticed that she was losing consciousness.

"Hey what are you doing? Don't pass out on me now!"

As Sonic landed, his aura disappeared Eternal Sailor Moon was out cold. The Freedom Fighters and the Sailor Scouts rushed to their side.

"Hey, Knux, you okay?" Sonic asked him.

"I'm fine," he nodded, "But what about her?"

"Sailor Moon! Sailor Moon!" Tuxedo Mask cried as he shook her, but she didn't wake up.

"Oh no…" said Mercury as she was about to cry.

"She isn't breathing…" Amy said sadly.

"There has to be something… something that can help…" Sonic grimaced as he sub consciously glowed in blue light again. The seven Chaos Emeralds reacted and they all started to spin around Tuxedo Mask and the dying Eternal Sailor Moon.

"What are they doing?" Venus asked.

"It's like Sonic is allowing the Emeralds to give Moon Face some of their power," Uranus said in awe.

"But I thought the Chaos Emeralds were to be used for nothing but evil," Pluto gasped.

"That's not all true," Tails explained, "The Chaos Emeralds can be used for both evil and good things. In truth, the Chaos Emeralds can make miracles happen."

The Emeralds spun faster and faster around the couple until the dropped and stopped glowing. In an instant, Eternal Sailor Moon's eyes shot opened.

"She's alive!" Mars shouted with joy. The crowed around them also cheered ecstatically.

"D… Darren?" Eternal Sailor Moon spoke as she wrapped her arms around his neck, "What happened?"

"We thought you were low on energy, but the Chaos Emeralds somehow revived you."

"The Chaos Emeralds?" she asked baffled as she took the white Emerald and gazed at it, "They saved me?"

"Pretty weird isn't it?" Jupiter smiled, "We thought the Emeralds were nothing but evil, they turn at to be something else all together!"

"Speaking of which," Knuckles said as he turned to Sonic, "What happened to the Master Emerald?"

Sonic blinked as he realized his error, "Oops…"

"OOPS!? Oops isn't good!"

"You have that right, you medaling fools!"

Everyone looked up as they saw Eggman hovering towards them with the Master Emerald underneath the Egg Mobile, "Oh no!"

"None of my schemes seem to have gone as planed, but I still managed to get this!" he opened his hand reveling a small silver jewel, "It's a counterfeit of the real thing, but it is still just as strong! Sonic, you have interfered with me for the last time!"

"Yeah right! You say that every time I beat you!"

"But now I'm really angry! And now I can use the power of the Master Emerald and the Silver Imperium Crystal rebuild my beloved Death Egg II!"

"WHAT!?" the rebels could not believe what they were hearing.

"And after my Death Egg II is complete, I will wipe out the Islands of Adventure off the map forever!"

"Islands of Adventure?" Pluto whispered.

"We won't let you getaway with this!" Tails shouted.

"On contraire, I already have!" he pointed up and everyone saw a mass number of battle fleets in the air, "While you idiots were going out rounds, I took the opportunity to prepare my fleet. Now none of you can stop me!"

"Not if I can say anything about it!" Sonic declared as he jumped at the mad scientist.

"See you soon, hedgehog!" Eggman laughed as he disappeared in a shimmer of light causing Sonic to land face first into the ground.

"Tails!" The blue hedgehog shouted as he got up, "Get the Tornado II ready! I'm going after Eggman!" Without another word, he jumped to the ships as the rest of the Freedom Fighters took the six other Emerald and departed. As for the Sailor Scout, they and the moon cats ran to a hidden corner behind the sign.

"You guys, we have to beat Eggman to the Islands of Adventure!" Eternal Sailor Moon said.

"I know what you mean," Uranus nodded, "It was our faulted that this is all happening."

"Yes, we need to help Sonic and the others," Luna agreed, "Because if we don't the entire world is doomed anyway!"

"Okay, let's do it!" Jupiter said as she pounded her fist.

With that, the Scouts and Tuxedo Mask formed a circle with the moon cats in the middle. The glowed with energy as the prepared to depart. Their destination: the Islands of Adventure.

"Sailor Teleport!"

In the air, Sonic jumped from ship to ship in effort to find Eggman. Finally the Tornado II arrived and he hopped on the wing.

"What's the plan, Sonic?" Tails asked.

"Eggman must be hiding in one of these ships. We need to find him before he gets to the Islands."

"Roger!"

Sonic faced forward as the wind blew into his quills. Now it was a race against time.

"Watch out, Eggman! We're coming for you!"
