Chapter 21: The Metal Trio
Dylan and Shadow came to a grassy plain with a few trees and a mountain in the distance. Hiding behind a tree, Dylan checked the radar. "Looks like we found it." He looked at Shadow, who was looking at the clearing.
"What is it?"
"Take a look."
Dylan looked. In the clearing, to Dylan's surprise, was metal versions of Team Sonic. They had apparently found the emerald first.
"Well done you two. First objective complete."
"Heh. One down, six to go."
"Quiet. You're almost like your weaker counterpart."
"CARE TO REPEAT THAT!?"
"SILENCE, both of you."
Dylan looked at Shadow. "Great, Eggman's little goon squad beat us to it. Now what?"
Shadow smirked. "We take it back." With that, he strode towards them.
Dylan stared, and then shrugged, running to catch up. 'Whatever.'
"HEY! BOLT HEADS!"
The trio turned to the two heroes.
"Who are you?"
"None of your concern!" snapped Shadow. "Hand over the Emerald and you won't need a trip to the shop!"
"What he said!" added Dylan.
"HEY! Don't forget us!"
Naruto and the Mario Bros. came running up. Dylan smiled.
"About time."
"You're not taking all the fun, you two!"
Metal Sonic chuckled. "Ah, you all want to play. I will enjoy this, especially with you Shadow, you who humiliated me in our last fight."
Shadow smirked. "That makes two of us. Bring it on."
The two sides charged.
Dylan and Shadow were dealing with Metal Sonic. Shadow slowed him down with Chaos Control long enough for Dylan to connect with a Volt Blast. Shadow followed that with a Chaos Spear. Metal was slammed into several trees. Dylan and Shadow charged after him.
Mario and Luigi were using their tag-team skills to dodge Metal Tails' missiles. "Resistance is futile." said Metal Tails as he fired another wave. The two brothers hopped up the missiles and slammed the metal fox with their hammers. The fox hit the ground, but got up quickly.
Naruto and Metal Knuckles were staring each other down. "Surrender human. You can't beat me."
Naruto was unmoved. "NO WAY! You're going down, you tin can! Believe it!"
"HAHAHAHAHA! Oh really?! You and what army!?"
Naruto's grinned and made a handsign.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Several waves of Narutos appeared next to the original. MetalKnux's laughter ceased abruptly.
"Uh-oh."
"LET"S GET HIM!"
The Narutos converged on him.
Dylan and Shadow were dodging Metal Sonic's laser blast. The first combo made Metal angry and he was attempted to make several holes in both of them.
"Dang it! We can't get close enough to attack!"
Dylan was angry too, but then an idea entered his head. "Then we bring him to us! Follow my lead!"
Dylan bolted up a tree and started waving his arms.
"HEY! SONIC WANNABE!"
Metal put on the brakes, confused.
"WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE SONIC? ARE YOU A FAN, OR DO YOU HAVE TO COPY HIM BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO POWER OF YOUR OWN?!"
That hit Metal too close to home. "HOW DARE YOU HUMAN!" Forgetting he had weapons, he charged at Dylan claws first.
Dylan jumped down. Metal followed to find Dylan and Shadow, each with a hand on their yellow Chaos Emerald.
Both were glowing red.
"AW CRA…"
"CHAOS BLAST!"
The blast sent Metal flying to land in a heap.
Mario and Luigi were trying to keep up with Metal Tails' attacks. Since the first combo The metal fox had sent its missiles in more erratic patterns. The brothers looked at each other. It was time for an old classic.
Mario nodded to Luigi, who ran in front of Mario.
"CHOPPER BROS!"
Mario hammered Luigi into the ground.
Metal Tails was confused. 'Why did he attack his friend?'
Then the ground started shaking.
WHAM
Luigi burst up from under Metal Tails, hitting it with a lightning-charged Super Jump Punch.
Metal Tails hit the ground near Metal Sonic, sparking electricity. Metal Knuckles joined them a few seconds later with dent on almost every part of his body.
The five heroes looked down at their fallen enemies.
"Ready to call it quits?"
Metal Sonic got up. "Not just yet. OMEGA FORMATION!"
Both of the other bots got up and stepped to either side. It looked like the Power formation.
Dylan was surprised. "A special attack?"
Shadow tensed. "This isn't good."
The three robot started glowing. Then Dylan felt a huge surge of energy from them.
"GUYS! LOOK OUT!"
They tried to dodge, but the Metal Trio slammed into them, sending the quintet into several trees before they landed.
The Metal Trio landed.
"That's strange." said Metal Sonic. "The attack should not have been that strong."
Metal Knuckles looked at himself. "WHOA! We're repaired!"
"Indeed. It seems our Chaos Emerald is the cause."
Metal Tails walked up, carrying the yellow emerald. "Another emerald is collected. We should gather the rest now."
Metal Sonic nodded. "Yes, let's go."
The trio ran off, leaving the heroes behind.
