Fire and ice
Chapter 14: Cyborgs!
Rouge felt sad. Infact, rouge felt devastated. She had always liked Knuckles. She got annoyed every time he ignored her hints. She had always hoped one day, he would just sweep her off her feet. He was big, strong, and loyal to his causes. Shadow was leading, keeping the pace swift, as they searched each room. Tails and Rouge were at the rear, shooting the soldiers who got to near. Shadow swiftly glanced around, then gave the signal to move on. The soldiers were coming in through the doors one by one, and a pile of bodies built quickly in each doorway. Rouge and Tails walked backwards, still shooting, into a hallway. They kept on reversing, at a rapid rate, the soldiers were delayed by the corpses blocking up the doorway. just as the pile fell, a hand roughly grabbed them, one hand each. They looked around to see Shadow, they were in a small room, with mops and cleaning supplies. The soldiers ran past, not noticing. Shadow relaxed. He looked around the room. It was littered with corpses. They were all in full armour, the armour of G.U.N soldiers. Shadow walked over to one, it was covered in bullet-holes. Shadow pulled one out and looked at it for a second.
"High velocity chaingun. Eggman custom brand. Fired about... five minutes ago." He said it without even a slight change in expression.
"Eggman!?!" Amy whispered, a mixture of shock, annoyance and a subtle hint of anger.
A light tuned on in a dark corner of the room. It dimly illuminated half a face. It was metallic. "Very good!" Rang out a voice from another corner. Out of the shadow stepped two hedgehogs. Firestorm and Kelvin. Firestorm was wearing jeans. They were ripped on one leg, exposing the fact that it was completely robotic. His Eggman symbol beeped and flashed as normal. His Right arm was also robotic. His spikes were messed up, they mostly dangled, like dreadlocks, from the side of his head. A few stood up, like a crown, and two draped over his eyes. He was wearing orange-tinted shades.
Kelvin Looked the same as before, except that one half of his head was completely metal. His eye was red, and gave out an eerie glow. He pulled out the emerald.
The team let out a collective noise of shock. Shadow looked unmoved. Suddenly, his glove began to pull. Out wriggled a chaos emerald, which floated in mid air. Out of Firestorm's core, flew 6, and the final flew out of Kelvin's hand. They formed a ring, and began to circle. Faster, and faster, until they were a blur. They began to give off a bright light. A flash, and the G.U.N fortress was levelled. Firestorm and Kelvin began to hover. Kelvin's eye turned gold, as did his spikes. His stripes remained blue. Firestorm's "Dreads" kinked upwards. In a flash, his spikes turned gold, all except for the very tips, which remained blood-red.
Shadow also floated into the air, going super. He looked at the others. Tails was blasted with light, and became yellow, with golden flickies. His bangs kinked upwards. Amy closed her eyes. She had never been super before. She vibrated with energy. Her spines tinted gold for a second, but she was blasted backwards by the sheer force. Shadow and Tails seemed not to notice, as they looked a this new foe. This was going to be tough. They knew it.
To be continued...
Notes: HAHAHA! Final battle. Will Amy go super? Will Tails and Shadow own the cyborgs? Will Moses learn to tap-dance while eating toast on a Tuesday morning in Canada? We'll see.
