Eleven:Chaos in the Emeralds
Sonic stumbled back as he recieved another blow from Kazu. "Ow!" The blue hedgehog yelled as he grabbed his nose."You just had to hit me in the nose!"
Kazu let out a dark chuckle."I guess I was wrong about you being strong. If you were,"The Black Chaos lunged for Sonic, fist poised."you wouldn't have complained about your injuries!"
Sonic smirked."Someone gets easily annoyed."He spun out of the way."That can be a weakness ya know!"
"Well, being ultra sensitive can also be a weakness!" Kazu turned and kicked the blue hedgehog, sending him crashing into a bunch of machinery. Sonic quickly jumped out of the rubbery and began a spin attack. He shot himself towards the Black Chaos. Kazu moved out of the way but was knocked off his feet by the sudden turn Sonic did while still in spin formation. Kazu stayed on the ground as Sonic walked up to him with a smirk in his face.
"Well, looks like we know who the weak one here, Kazu!"Sonic remarked, still smiling. His smile soon faded when he heard the Black Chaos burst out in an evil laughter."W-What's so funny?
Kazu laughed even harder."You still haven't figured out what is going on, Sonic. Why we stole the Chaos Emeralds and the Comet Treasure."
Sonic merely stared at the black hedgehog with confusion in his eyes."What?!" As if on cue, a giant rumble began shaking the ground. The blue hedgehog stumbled and fell onto the floor."What the hell is going on?!"
Kazu grinned darkly."Now you will see our true plan unfold before your eyes!"

Tails took a few steps back as Eggman reloaded his gun. What am I going to do now? He asked himself in his thoughts.
"Face it. You lost!" Eggman proclaimed as he started to approach the twin-tailed fox. He took aim."Now don't move and I will give you a quick and painless death!"
Tails looked around and finally spotted something that would actually be of help."I won't give up that easily, Eggman!" He rolled to safety as soon as Eggman shot. He rolled towards a nearby laser gun and grabbed it. He shot one bullet at the control panel of the Egg Walker sending Eggman flying out of his machine and crashing into the wall. The orange fox pointed the gun at the doctor.
"Now you don't move,"He said with a grin on his face.
Eggman gritted his teeth, dissappointed that he was oh so close in defeating his rival, but he knew that there were going to be other opportunites, and one of them was just right around the corner.
Before Tails could shoot, he was knocked off his feet by a sudden shake of the ground.
"What's going on?!"He yelled at Eggman.
It was his turn to grin."You will now witness the true power of the Comet Treasure! This is the end!"
---Minewhile---
It was beginning to be a long and tiring fight for Knuckles and Senka. Neither of the rivals were winning, neither of them were losing. All they were doing were attacking and defending each other's attacks.
Senka used a spin of her tail to collide with Knuckles only to be blocked by one of his attacks.
"Just give up, Senka!"Knuckles told the black cobra as he blocked another of her attacks.
"Why don't you?"Senka said between her teeth as she punched the guardian echidna.
"Why should I? The strongest should never give up."
"Well, then...GIVE UP!" She was about to give one last attempt to punch him when the ground started shaking.
Knuckles looked around."Why is the ground shaking?"
Senka looked around too."Look's like Kazu-san's plan is starting. She smirked at the red echidna."You're about to meet your doom right now. It's a shame that it won't be me that'll defeat you."

"Please!"Amy cried as she dodged one of Nova's punches."I don't want to fight you!"
"Well, you have no choice!"Nova yelled as he shot a spinning kick, knocking the Rosey Rascal onto the ground. Nova hesitiated to attack. He didn't want to hurt his sister too much.
Amy clenched her hammer tightly, then turned around and knocked the red hedgehog onto the ground with a spin of her hammer. Nova was so stunned that he remained on the ground."Will you tell me now why you're risking many human lives?"Amy asked.
Nova merely looked away."Get out of my sight."He managed to say."I'll let you leave with your life, so get out of here." Amy shook her head.
"Please tell me. Maybe I can help you."
Nova looked at the pink hedgehog. She's willing to help me, even though she knows that I might kill her. Maybe...just maybe...she'll accept me...He stood up. Amy responded by lowering her hammer, telling him that she won't give out any surprise attacks. Nova opened his mouth to begin, but was interrupted by the rumbling starting beneath them. He looked around then looked at his sister who had fear in her eyes. He knew that he needed to act fast.
"I believe you are ready,"Nova began. Amy looked at the red hedgehog with confusion in her eyes but said nothing. Nova closed his eyes and took a deep breath."give me your hammer..."

All that could be seen at the far right of Eggman's lair was flashing lights appearing and dissappearing in random locations. After a few more lights, Shadow and Mecha Shadow appeared across from each other.
"Looks like we're in a stalemate,"Mecha Shadow proclaimed.
Shadow smirked."Not yet, Faker." He attacked his robot self with a homing attack. Before he could hit, the Ultimate Life Form disappeared.
Mecha Shadow groaned."Not this again..." He turned around and punched, expecting the black and red hedgehog to be there, but he only hit air. Confused, he turned around and was launched into a wall by the Ultimate Life Form's Chaos Spear attack.
"Looks like you were wrong about this fight being a stalemate!" Shadow's voice rang around Mecha Shadow. Shadow appeared behind the clone and kicked him, sending the clone crashing into a bunch of machinery. Shadow walked up to Mecha Shadow."I guess this is the end!" He was about to give him the final blow when he was stopped by a sudden shake of the ground.
Shadow looked around."What the hell did you do?!"
Mecha Shadow smirked as he stood up."I didn't do anything. It's all part of Eggman's plans that will annihalate you and the rest of your rat friends!" Shadow glared at him, a face that warned the clone that he could take whatever he throws at him. Mecha smirked, highly doubting that he would be able to take on this.

Spark just barely missed Mercury's fliying rocks. He quickly summoned a lightning bolt and threw it towards the Glider who dodged it easily."You stupid Glider!"Spark yelled."Stop dodging my attacks!"
"Like I would do that!"Mercury responded."AND STOP CALLING ME GLIDER, YOU PORCUPINE!!!" He raised his hands, ready to unleash another attack, only to lower them once again. Spark, too, lowered his hands when he saw the look of sadness in the mahogany glider's face. He cocked his head to one side, wondering what made his rival stop all-of-a-sudden. Mercury took a long look at his silver bracelet. A look of rage immediately formed on his face, causing Spark to take a step back. Mercury then did the least expected: he yelled.
The Glider's yell caused all the dirt and sand from the ground to rise and spin around him and Spark. Spark looked around, then looked at Mercury who was finally calming down. Mercury, now calm, stared at his hands.
"What did I do to deserve this?"He spoke in a soft voice.
"Well, because you are a villian who makes other people suffer just to get what he wants."
"Not that, Stupid! Why I'm a...why the hell am I talking to you?! You would never understand how I feel! You never had the feeling of losing the one you love! You have never been sent to be killed by your own family! You will never understand why I'm doing this! I'm not working for Eggman because I want to! I would never want to work for a fatass like him! It's all because of who I am! I have to do this...to prove that I am no Glider!" And with that, Mercury ran off, leaving the dumbfounded Spark behind.

The Heroes managed to meet up in the same place where they had separated.
"What the hell is all this rumbling?!" Knuckles wondered out loud.
"I don't know,"Sonic answered as he looked around."but whatever it is, the Chaos Emeralds and the Comet Treasure are behind this. Do you know what the Comet Treasure is, Spark?" When he recieved no answer, the blue hedgehog turned around to face his friend."Spark?"
"Huh?"Spark looked up."Uh---I don't know---I---uh." He looked down at the floor once again, thinking about what he had just heard about Mercury.
Sonic rolled his eyes and turned back to the rest of the group. He noticed that something was missing, make that someone.
"Where's Rose-san?"Shadow asked as if he read Sonic's mind.
"That's what I was wondering right now,"Sonic answered.
"Maybe she got beaten up by that one hedgehog,"Spark said, still in a pensive voice.
Those words sent the Ultimate Life Form running faster than a speeding bullet."Rose-san!" He called out, his pace never slowing.
"Shadow!" Sonic began chasing after the red and black hedgehog."Wait up!" Everyone else began to follow as well.

Amy stared at the mysterious red hedgehog who was staring straight back at her. Those calm jade green eyes somewhat looked familiar, but where she'd seen them was a mystery. She didn't know if she could trust him, but she wanted to help him. He seemed like someone that one could trust. She took a quick glance at her hammer then handed it to Nova. He took it in his hands with care as if it was his own.
"You called it the Piko Piko Hammer, I recall. Your brother gave it to you almost four years ago, did he not?" Amy nodded, surprized that he knew all of this. Nova continued. "He gave it to you...about two weeks before...he left...he didn't want to leave, but it was crucial...for the sake of your life, for the villain who I am working for was about to kill you."
Amy stared at him with shock in her eyes."How...how do you know all of this?"
Nova gave her a small smile."It's funny that you still don't recognize me even though I have given you all these clues so you could figure me out,"He gave out a deep sigh."...my name...is Nova Rose..."
It took a few seconds for that name to sink in. Those last five words churned in the Rosey Rascal's head. She opened her mouth to speak, but found no voice. Her eyes slowly filled with tears when her voice finally returned."N---Nova?" She squeaked.
The red hedgehog gave her another small smile."Hey, little sis." And with that, Amy engulfed him in a hug. Nova was surprized at first, for he expected that she would despise him for the rest of her life, but then his eyes began to fill with tears and he hugged her back. He was glad that she had accepted him as a brother again. Amy then broke away from Nova when she remembered that she had some questions for him.
"Why are you working for Eggman?"She began."Why did you abandon me that day? And why did you didn't tell me this sooner?!"
Nova made a face. He knew that this was coming."I already told you why I left you that day. Eggman threatened me that he would kill you if I didn't go with him. He told me that I would come back way before you'd wake. Apparently, his expirement left him with no other choice but to lock me in a pod."
"Experiment? What experiment?"
Nova sighed then he took off his jacket and turned around. On his back were several long bloody scars. Amy gasped when she saw this. He carefully put his jacket back on.
"Eggman used me as an expieriment, to see if he could actually be able to insert the power of telepathy into me. The machine somehow got corrupted and it attacked me brutally, leaving me with these scars and a newfound talent."
"Telekinesis?"
Nova nodded."Now. I'm working for Eggman because I knew that was the only way I could find you and it worked. I didn't tell you sooner because...I was afraid that you wouldn't accept me after all that I did to you."
Amy smiled at him."Well, after all you have told me, how can I not accept you Oniichan?" She gave him another hug.
"Rose-san!"
Both Amy and Nova turned around and saw the rest of the Heroes running towards them.
"Let her go!"Shadow yelled, preparing for a Chaos Spear attack.
"Shadow no!" Amy ran in front of her brother, protecting him."He's not who you think it is! He's Nova! My brother!"
"You're what?!"Everyone yelled.
"You never told us that you had a brother!" Sonic said.
"I do,"Amy answered."I just..."Before she could say anything else, the ground started shaking even stronger.
Nova looked up."It's awakening..."He spoke softly.
"What's awakening?" Spark asked.
