Dark Cyber Sonic, was flying below buildings. He looked down at clones destroying buildings, fires breaking out, people running in terror, it had no affect on him. A shell of a tank hit sonic and he went crashing into the ground. He landed in a crater with three Abrams tanks and a platoon of soldiers in front of him. "You're going to regret that.'' sonic said darkly, getting up. "Shoot the bastard!'' one soldier yelled. The whole platoon opened fire on the metallic protected hedgehog. Sonic fired beams of dark energy, the blasts exploded and flung the soldiers and the tanks back a few feet. A Abrams tank behind him fired a round into him, sonic stumbled forwards. He quickly turned around, he teleported below the tank barrel. Sonic grabbed it with both his hands and threw it over his head. Jenny was fighting off a group of clones with her fists. A few inches from her was brad and the sector v operatives hiding behind cover while firing at clones.
Brad looked over his shoulder once, than quickly turned around. The tank sonic threw was heading for jenny. Brad ran towards her and pushed her out of the way, along with himself. The tank smashed into the ground, rolling like a ball. Brad looked down the street and saw Sonic knocking out helpless soldiers. Brad aimed for his back and fired a single shot. The blast from his robot hurter hit sonic in the back, making him growl in pain. Sonic turned around and saw brad. "Incompetent fool!!!'' sonic thundered teleporting over to him. Sonic teleported, hovering right in front of brad. Sonic grabbed him by the throat, making him drop his robot hurter 9000. Jenny saw and gasped. She kicked sonic in the side of the head, making him drop brad. Sonic stopped hovering and put his feet to the ground. Jenny stood feet away from him.
"Listen here! I don't know who you are! You stay away from him!'' jenny yelled.
"Ahh, getting in my way, not too wise.'' sonic said.
"It'll be wise that you run right now!'' jenny snapped.
"I'm not going anywhere, now come, let's see if your strong enough to fight me.'' sonic raised his fists.
"It'll be my pleasure.'' jenny said and flying at him.
Sonic shook his head and grabbed her arm, throwing the robot girl right into a light post. Jenny took the light post out of the ground and swung it down on Sonic. Sonic put one hand up and grabbed it, he threw it over his head, along with jenny. Jenny got back control in mid air, sonic came flying up at her. She quickly moved out of the way and smacked sonic to a building wall with her mighty mallets. Sonic dislodged himself and turned back toward jenny, who just struck him in the face with her foot. Sonic grabbed her fist and threw her down on top of a car, crushing it inwards. Sonic came diving down at her, feet first. Jenny did a front flip out onto the street. Sonic smashed onto the car, then hopped off it. Jenny was breathing heavily.
"Already tired? You must be weak.'' sonic mocked.
"You better keep that mouth of yours shut!'' she snapped.
"Try and do it.'' sonic raised his fists.
Jenny flew at him, sonic threw a punch, but jenny grabbed it and picked him up. Jenny tossed him back downwards, she fired a large blast of her laser limbs right into sonic, forcing him to the ground even faster, resulting in a big silvery explosion. Jenny hovered back to the ground. Sonic teleported behind her and grabbed her by the throat and flew up into the air. Sonic flew above a building roof.
With his other hand, a dark energy ball formed and grew quite big. Sonic threw jenny down onto the roof, he then fired the huge ball of energy down into her. It impacted and crashed jenny through every floor of the building. Jenny crashed to the bottom floor, making a huge cloud of smoke fly out of the doors. The building then crumbled and fell down on her. A huge cloud of smoke lifted into the air. Sonic landed in front of the pile of concrete debris. Jenny's hand busted out of the debris, she then pulled herself out. Her arms were nearly broken off, dents and bumps all around her body. Sonic grabbed her by the throat and walked onto the street. Sonic dropped her and put his foot on her chest. She opened her eyes, she looked like she was about to shut down for good.
"This didn't have to happen, if you just let it go and stayed out of my way, you wouldn't be in your current state.'' sonic told her.
The sector v operatives and brad spotted the incident down the street. Brad gasped,
"Come on! We need to help her!'' brad called the operatives, and they followed.
"Tell me this…w-who ar-are you?'' she said weakly.
"What a good question to ask…Jenny.'' sonic said slyly.
"How do you know my name?'' she asked quickly.
"Oh I know you well.'' sonic grabbed his helmet and took it off.
Jenny widened her eyes, Sonic's dark form, his blank white eyes stared down at her. He held the helmet under his arm.
Sonic grabbed her chin, "You better keep your mouth shut, or I can just kill you now.'' sonic took his foot off her chest.
He pointed his arm down at her, a energy ball formed in his palm. Dark blue static electricity sparked from it.
"Goodbye Jenny'' he said.
Suddenly, a plethora of laser weapons from the operatives and brad hit Sonic. Sonic quickly but his helmet back on and shot off into the air. The six arrived with jenny.
"Jenny! Are you okay?'' brad said helping her up.
"Guys, you're not gonna' believe who that was.'' jenny said.
"Who was it? Tell us!'' brad exclaimed.
Jenny hesitated for a few seconds, "It…was Sonic.'' she hung her head low.
The six wore shocked faces. Now with some of the heroes knowing of his true identity, will they be able to reach the others in time to stop them from destroying Sonic? Or will Sonic destroy them? The red chaos emerald still lays on that building, with shadow still heading for it, can he reach it before Sonic? Or will the two cross paths and result in a brawl between the forces of good and evil? The time is ticking, Eggman will be firing his super weapon anytime now, can the city of New York be saved? Better yet, can Sonic be saved from his dark counterpart and save himself from his impending doom that waits only hours away?
Chaos and metal sonic crashed through five walls and fell outside. Chaos kicked metal in the stomach throwing him down faster. Metal stopped in mid air and fired his core blast up at his liquid foe. Chaos spun to the left dodging it. Chaos put his feet first and dropped right onto metal, with chaos's feet on metal's stomach, he slammed metal right into the concrete street with great force. Chaos hopped away and waited for his enemy to show movement. Metal sonic teleported above him and crashed his feet right into chaos, reducing him to a puddle. Metal stepped away and shook his feet, getting the liquid of his feet.
"Good riddens'' metal said before walking away.
Then metal dropped to the ground, chaos was in a puddle form with his hand stretched out of it, holding onto metal's leg. Metal launched up into the air, freeing himself from chaos's grip. Chaos rose from a puddle, to his normal form. Metal dived down at him quickly, chaos stretched his clenched fists right into metal's face throwing him back across the air. Metal got back control and teleported behind chaos.
Metal punched him in the back, and kicked him at the legs, making chaos drop to the ground. Metal armed his machine gun and pointed it down at chaos. Chaos grabbed metal by his machine gun and tossed him sideways, crashing into a car. Metal jumped out of the wreckage and saw chaos lunging at him. Metal hovered off the ground and kicked both his feet into the head of chaos.
Chaos went sliding across the street and bumped into a car. Metal fired a volley of rockets at chaos. Chaos quickly jumped to the side and letting the missiles pummel into the car, eventually causing it to explode. Chaos stretched his arm and wrapped it around a light pole. Metal sonic came flying at him. Chaos swung once around it and stretched his feet, smacking metal in the head with both. Metal impacted quickly into a building wall. Metal teleported behind his foe and let out a shot of his core blast. Chaos went slamming right into a car. Metal teleported over to him, chaos swung his arm at him, metal ducked and punched him in the stomach. Metal then grabbed him by the throat and flung him across the ground. Chaos jumped back to his feet, metal was already coming. Quickly reacting, chaos gave metal an uppercut. Metal flung upwards. Chaos stretched his hand and grabbed metal by the stomach and smashed metal back into the ground. Chaos ran at his motionless body and gave him a kick right to the face, throwing metal back a few feet. Metal teleported above chaos and fired a series of missiles down at him.
Chaos did a frontward's roll out of the missiles way. Chaos stretched his arm up at metal and wrapped it around the back of his throat. Chaos threw him and let metal go, leaving him to crash through a building wall. Metal flew out of the building and plowed chaos right into the ground. Metal punched left and right across his face.
Chaos grabbed one of his fists and threw metal off to the side, leaving him to get enough time to get back on his feet. Metal shook his head and glared back at chaos. Metal flew off the ground at chaos. Chaos jumped to the left and turned around, but metal spun around to chaos and punched him in the side of the head. Chaos stumbled back dizzily, metal fired his core blast right into chaos's stomach, throwing the liquid life form against a car that was in the middle of the street.
Chaos leaped into the air and stretched both his arms and grabbed metal. Chaos pulled him towards himself and gave him a kick to the chin, throwing metal sonic through a large window. Chaos stretched his arm and grabbed onto the small ledge, below the window metal crashed through, chaos pulled himself up, metal was already flying at him. Chaos quickly punched him in the head, throwing metal through two walls. Chaos ran through the two walls and stopped in front of metal's body.
Metal swung his arm at chaos's legs, making him trip to the ground. Metal jumped to his feet and grabbed chaos by his ankles. Metal swung him in two circles before letting him go, crashing out of the building and landing on a truck trailer, making it seep inwards. Metal stood in front of the hole and looked down at chaos, metal fired ten missiles at him. Chaos opened his eyes, he quickly did a back flip out of the way and landing on his feet. The missiles crashed right into the truck's trailer. Metal came flying through the smoke at chaos, metal gave his foe a punch across the face.
Chaos stumbled backwards, but charged back at him kneeing him in the stomach making him bend over. Chaos gave another well deserved uppercut to his metal foe. Metal flipped over once and landed face first into the ground. "I've had just about enough of you!'' metal charged chaos immediately. Chaos grabbed him by his neck, chaos grabbed his arm and tore it completely off. Metal stepped backwards in pain.
"You'll pay for this! I promise!!!'' metal yelled flying away.
Chaos tilted his head, he heard an explosion. Chaos turned around and saw his fellow heroes fighting off an army of clones. Chaos quickly took off running to their position to help.
Sonic was flying just above the streets, he saw the pokemon taking out a huge number of clones. Sonic huffed and flew over to them. "Keep it up you guys!'' ash yelled. Pikachu was letting out bolts of electricity at about ten metal shadow clones. Suddnely twenty metal sonic clones came from the crowd of clones that were coming. Bunneary jumped beside him. Pikachu nodded, so did she. Pikachu and Bunneary stood back to back. Pikachu let out a powerful blast of his thunderbolt. Bunneary fired her ice beam, all around at the clones. All but pieces of the clones the two pokemon destroyed, dropped all around them. Pikachu and Bunneary smirked at each other happily.
Suddenly, Sonic smashed his feet to the ground in front of the two pokemon making them jolt back in fear. Sonic looked down at the two frightened pokemon. "What is that?'' said ash "Piplup! Use your bubble beam on it!'' dawn shouted. The small penguin pokemon let out a burts of its bubble beam. Sonic turned his head towards the projectiles heading towards him, but he merely stood still. The bubble beam hit him directly, a cloud of smoke and an explosion occurred. "See? Easy.'' dawn said triumphantly
"You might wanna' look again Dawn.'' May said stopping next to her and looking out the cloud of smoke starting to clear.
Sonic was still standing still, not damaged a bit. "That ain't good!'' Dawn exclaimed.
"Blaziken give it a fire kick!'' may yelled.
Her Blaziken jumped over her, the fire pokemon lunged at Sonic with its fire kick. Sonic grabbed him by his ankle and threw him right into a parked van, making a large dent in it. Sonic pointed one hand at him and fired a dark energy ball. It impacted and exploded with a cloud of fire from the van. Sonic turned his back towards the pokemon trainers.
"Would you like to try again?'' sonic mocked.
"I'm still up for it.'' Ash said throwing a poke ball. His Charizard came out, firing a blast of fire into the air.
"Charizard! Give him your most powerful fire blast!'' ash shouted.
Charizard reared back and fired a huge column of fire at Sonic. Sonic merely put one hand up, a shield was put up. The fire hit his shield, but not even a spark or ember made it through. The fire ceased and sonic put down the shield.
"My turn'' sonic said holding his hands to his sides. He fired a beam of dark energy at the group, Charizard jumped in the way and took the painful hit. The fire pokemon went flying across the ground until he came to a stop. Sonic lowered his arms to his side. "Just what kind of person are you!'' ash exclaimed
"The one who just beaten your pathetic creatures in just a second.'' sonic said.
Ash gritted his teeth in anger.
"Don't complain Ash.'' Sonic said.
Ash raised an eyebrow, "How does he know my name?'' Ash said confusedly.
Brandy came through the crowd of trainers, "Guys what're you-'' she stopped noticing the metal covered hedgehog.
"No…it can't be…it looks like…'' she said to herself in her head.
"You fools, try and fight me if you will, but the consequences will be severe.'' sonic told them.
"We won't give up! Who are you?!'' Dawn exclaimed. Suddenly Aang and the gang flew over on Appa and landed behind the group of heroes. They all got off and ran into the group of heroes.
"Why are you guys standing around?'' asked Katara.
"Take a look'' Brock pointed to Sonic.
"Whoa, who's that?'' asked Aang.
"We don't know'' said Misty.
"Enough of your small talk! Hold still and let me finish this.'' sonic charged two powerful energy balls in his hands.
All the heroes stood firm, except brandy who stood still. Blaziken lunged at sonic from behind. Sonic grabbed him by throat and flung him back at the heroes. They ducked from the incoming fire pokemon.
"Gyrados! Hyper beam!'' misty shouted. Gyrados charged up his attack,
"Pikachu use your thunderbolt!''
"Piplup! Bubble beam! Bunneary ice beam!'' dawn shouted.
All the attacks fired at Sonic, Aang fired two strong fireballs, Toph launched a huge boulder. All the attacks hit at the same time, resulting in a huge bright explosion. The heroes covered their eyes until it started to vanish. Some of them gasped, Sonic was still standing, with a dark energy bubble around him, he then made it vanish.
"Truly pathetic'' sonic noted.
"Use iron tail!'' ash yelled.
"Steelix! You use iron tail too!'' brock shouted.
"Gyrados! Tackle him!'' misty shouted "Give him a good peck piplup!'' dawn yelled. Sonic grabbed pikachu by his tail and slammed him into the ground, then he kicked him back across the ground.
Jenny, Omega, Brad, and the sector v operatives were running down the street to them. "Wait! Stop!'' jenny yelled. Steelix came down at Sonic, sonic fired a wide blast of dark blue energy right into steelix, throwing him back behind the heroes.
"Stop attacking him!'' shouted kuki, still running.
Gyrados came lunging at him, sonic fired a strong energy ball right into his throwing gyrados right beside steelix. Sonic grabbed piplup by his beak and tossed him across the ground, stopping at dawn's feet.
"Piplup!'' dawn held her pokemon close, he was injured.
"You're an evil person!'' dawn yelled with tears starting to form.
Sonic huffed, "Please…your mere words won't affect me, nor will your pokemon.'' sonic laughed.
Bunneary was standing next to the injured pikachu. She then glared at Sonic, she lunged at him with a dizzy punch. Sonic grabbed bunneary by her ears, he then tossed her hard against a car, luckily it didn't mishape the car in anyway. Pikachu growled and leaped into the air over Sonic. He let out his most powerful thundebolt, it hit sonic and illuminated all around him, but he kept standing still. It stopped, a blast of dark blue lightning came back and struck pikachu. Pikachu came falling down, luckily ash caught him just in time. Dawn ran over to bunneary and picked her up, then ran over to the heroes. Bunneary wasn't breathing. Dawn finally shed tears,
"YOU MONSTER!!!'' she screamed.
"Your tears will do nothing beside embarrass yourself.'' sonic said darkly.
Sonic then widened his eyes, he saw on his radar a bleep coming from behind him. Omega was reaching for his helmet. Sonic quickly turned around and grabbed his wrist and threw omega in front of the group of heroes. Jenny formed a small buzz saw and flew at Sonic,
"Now it is time…TO DIE!'' sonic aimed a large dark energy ball at the heroes.
Jenny flew over him and cut the helmet in half. Jenny hovered over to the heroes and retracted her buzz saw back in her arm. Sonic's helmet split in half, both halves fell on the ground.
All the heroes had shocked faces, they all looked at what was their enemy, but their once before ally. Brandy of course was more effected most. Sonic glared at his foes,
"No…it can't be Sonic!'' Katara exclaimed putting her hand to her mouth.
"Yes, about time one of you got me, but now, I can't let you live.'' sonic said starting to charge an energy blast.
The heroes looked at him, his blank white eyes glaring at them, his head all dark blue, along with his six spikes bathed in a dark blue color. Sonic then noticed, hopping across buildings he saw shadow in the distance. Sonic stopped charging and shot up into the air, after the same thing shadow is after: The Chaos Emerald. With our heroes finally knowing of his identity, will they be able to get him back on their side in time to save him from his nearing death?
