Chapter Twenty-One "What Became of Sonic?"
Sonic was lying on the base floor, still.
Spike was faced up against the base wall, his eyes opened slowly.
"What was that?" said Spike.
Spike looked at Sonic just lying there.
"Looks like that hedgehog wasn't much use to me after all...well." he thought but then took out something.
Spike had a chaos emerald.
"Well, I was saving this emerald in case I needed it, and if I keep it secret he might not take it, if I give this emerald to him I might not get it back, but it's better then just sitting here doing nothing." said Spike to himself.
Spike went over and leaned over Sonic.
Sonic still wasn't moving.
Spike took out his emerald and held it over Sonic.
"This emerald might restore his energy, I'll have to find a way to give its energy to him." said Spike.
Spike turned Sonic over and put the emerald in his hand.
The emerald started glowing; all around Sonic was the same glow.
Spike stepped back.
There was a quick flash and when it was gone Sonic was standing there, glowing off the energy.
"Well, look who's up, about time Hedgehog." said Spike.
Sonic looked at the emerald in his hand.
"Did you just give me an emerald?" said Sonic.
"No hedgehog, you can just borrow it, now go get rid of that robot, if you think you can handle that much." said Spike.
Sonic ran out the base door.
Tails was in a corner with Trixie behind him.
Metal Sonic's eyes were glowing dark red.
Trixie looked over.
"It's Sonic! IT'S SONIC!" yelled Trixie jumping up and down.
Tails looked behind Metal Sonic.
Metal Sonic turned.
Sonic started fighting Metal Sonic.
"Tails!" Trixie shouted hugging Tails with a sad look in her eye.
"Can we stop them? What if Sonic gets hurt again." said Trixie.
Tails smiled.
"I don't think so, Sonic's a powerful guy" said Tails.
"Then can we do something to help him?" asked Trixie.
Sonic kept trying to get a hit on Metal but Metal seemed to be blocking every punch; his two chaos emeralds still had an advantage on Sonic.
"I know, he has two chaos emeralds and Sonic has one, what if they had a reaction somehow, maybe the emeralds would scatter themselves and Metal would loose his, then he'd be just a normal robot wouldn't he?" said Trixie.
"No not average at all, he still knows every move Sonic's going to make, I think that's why he keeps blocking all of Sonic's kicks, if I only had a computer I could ruin his system." said Tails.
There was a ringing noise and a beeping sound right then.
"What's that?" Trixie said following the sound.
