Hooo ok. Now, I wish to thank everybody that reviewed, and there shall be a shortage of notes todayish.
So, since I have made it clear I don't want long notes, let's start!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ZOOM!
WHOOSH!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!" Yoshi screamed. Sonic bounded over a huge gap in the path, then bolted across an airstrip atop a carrier ship. GUN planes flew in from everywhere, bombing as much of the strip as possible to hinder the heroes.
Sonic put on a burst of speed and passed all of the missiles before they exploded, clearing the 'minefield' before it erupted in flames.
Way above, a gigantic rocket hurtled towards the ship, and in a massive, omni-deafening roar, the missile collided with the ship and erupted into a massive plume of flame.
Sonic cleared the ship before the missile exploded, but the shock from it caught him in midair, and propelled him into another ship a few leagues away. He and Yoshi skidded to a halt and watched as the ship sank backwards, with the front aimed at the sky like a big knife. The boat went under in a matter of seconds, what was left of it, and more GUN planes flew at the heroes.
Sonic was unable to outrun the bullets, and Yoshi erected a hard eggshell around the both of them. The bullets pinged off the shell, and the force of the bullets flung them off the side of the boat into the ocean. The shell bobbed right back up like a float, then shot away like a torpedo as Sonic and Yoshi teamed up, rolling the egg like a wheel.
Up ahead was the big flagship of the fleet surrounding the base, and everything was in a panic as GUN soldiers searched for the egg and its inhabitants.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Matt, Tails, Luigi, Pichu, and Ness watched the mushroom cloud in the distance shoot up into the sky, and eventually fade away into black smoke.
"I bet that was Sonic." Matt said, shading his eyes.
"That missile was huge!" Ness exclaimed. "What were they gonna DO with that sucker!?!?"
"That would be the government's business." Tails said. "They've been busy arming themselves for a while now…"
"Probably preparing to wage war against the remnants of the Super Smash Brothers, the 'Protectors of justice.'" Matt stated in an ironic tone. "Funny, how when people's views start to differ, or when people start jumping to conclusions about each other, they turn against each other…just like that." Matt snapped his fingers.
"I wonder if we'll ever be able to prove our innocence?" Luigi sighed dejectedly. "Are we going to be like this for the rest of our lives?"
"Not if there's something I can do about it." Matt said. "That's the thing with misunderstandings. If we have a chance to talk with the right people…and if they were reasonable enough, it would be all over."
"All this you see…" Tails said. "…Started when the GUN commander declared us all traitors of the world government."
"We need to find what made that decision come to be." Ness said.
"Right, well, let's g-"
A black blur shot past the smashers so fast, they weren't even sure if they saw it for a moment. Matt squinted his eyes and looked out over the water, just before the figure vanished.
"Was that…?"
"Sonic?" Tails asked.
"No, it isn't!" Amy said suddenly, having finally caught up. She held her knees with her hands and panted for her breath, then she finally felt she had enough rest. "I thought he was Sonic, and I went over to him, but when he turned around, he glared at me with these awful red eyes! He was with Eggman and this other bat girl."
"We'll look into this." Matt said. "I think I'm finally getting what's going on. But just to be sure!"
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Nothing yet!" Link called down from the third floor. He had just bashed down his twelfth safe, which was filled with useless junk.
"Argh!" Fox muttered. He wedged a safe open with his staff. The safe he was working on didn't budge, then in a fit of frustration, he activated his staff rocket spell, and let go. His staff hurtled like a missile, and blew the door to pieces when it hit. Inside the safe was a pile of fresh Chaos drives.
"May as well take them." Fox shrugged. "How's it on your end, Kirby?"
Kirby was at his twenty eighth, and final safe. He smashed it open with his mallet, and proceeded to inhale every last bit of contents. He was more determined than anybody to collect treasure.
"I can't hold off the robots for forever, ya know!" Paul yelled. He was in a sea of guard robots, and the fans below were blowing junk parts way into the air, and it was raining junk.
He used his Light spear technique and destroyed a bunch of robots with a column of damaging light energy, then he dashed through it and took out so many more robots. When he stopped skidding, he summoned a whorl of flames around his body that scattered burnt remains of robots hit by the Fire spell. He transformed his sword into a gun, then went crazy shooting Blizzard spells everywhere.
"No chaos emeralds here!" Link yelled.
"Poyo poyto!"
"None here, either!" Fox said.
"Dang!" Paul yelped. He dived out of the way of a team rush of robots, then destroyed them with a massive thunder bolt. "Sheesh, just how much metal is there in the universe, anyways!??!?!"
"Lots." Fox replied unhelpfully. He drew his blaster and sniped a bunch of the robots from his perch, and Link and Kirby joined in on the shooting fest.
"That one's mine!"
"Hey, I shot him first!"
"Poyo!"
Paul climbed up a level amidst the confusion, then started firing another barrage of icy balls of energy. They were at it for awhile, when there was a whoosh, and something whipped past all the smashers and stole the weapons they were holding.
"Hey!"
"Was that you, Fox!?!?!"
"How could it be me!?!? I'm here!"
"POOOOOYOOOOOOOO!!!"
"There!" Link said suddenly. He pointed at a shadow up near the ceiling. The figure gasped, then flew towards a hole in the ceiling and shot up the shaft into an upper room.
"Too bad for whoever it was." Paul said. He summoned his sword back to his hand, and above there was a shout of surprise. "C'mon, let's get up there!"
The smashers jumped off walls and pipes in their hurry to get to the top, then they landed on a platform with a handle attached to a cable. They grabbed it, but nothing happened.
"We're too heavy, but this should fix the problem." Fox claimed. He held onto the handle with one hand and drew his staff, since it was his gun that was stolen, and then summoned up another burst of energy. The push sent them flying into the air, and they let go of the handle before it wound up into its pulley, and they pushed off each other before hitting their heads. They shot way past the floor, and headed up towards the ceiling, then curved down and splatted on the ground.
"I have the intruders in sight. Requesting orders."
There was another machine like the one codenamed Bigfoot that Paul fought before, but it had no legs for landing. The pilot was inside speaking into his radio.
"Was it a trap!?!?!" Paul yelled, blushing with shame.
"No, I accidentally tripped the alarm." A feminine voice said.
A female bat wearing a black rubber suit with a heart across her chest, and two white boots walked out of the shadows, holding three gems in her hands. Her fur was white, and her green eyes had a mischievous glint to them.
"But, that doesn't put us on the same side."
"You're going up against us?" Link asked.
"Don't ignore me!" The soldier inside the machine yelled angrily.
Everybody jumped back, and looked at each other menacingly. Rouge the Bat pocketed the blue, purple, and light blue emeralds and looked at the smashers and the GUN machine warily, Link Paul Fox and Kirby braced themselves and got into their fighting stances, and the GUN soldier charged up a laser blast.
They all rushed at each other, and in a clash of metal, weapons, and body parts, the room erupted into unbearable noise, DEFINITELY a sign of battle.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Matt ran up a staircase around the north side of the prison's perimeter, and everybody else followed him as he rushed to the top. When they got there, they saw the mysterious Sonic "Imposter"
"So…what business do you mortals have here with me?" The hedgehog asked in a deep masculine voice.
"Who are you?" Ness demanded.
The hedgehog turned around and looked at the smashers through emotionless amber eyes. "My name is Shadow the Hedgehog! I am the ultimate life form!"
"Bring it on!" Matt said, bringing his sword into position.
"B-Bring it off!" Luigi stuttered, shaking like a leaf in a gale.
"Hmph." Shadow said. "Chaos…CONTROL!!!!!"
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Rouge flew at Link who blocked a drill kick with his shield. He was unable to block a barrage of bullets from behind, and the attack smacked into the metal plates on his Magic armor and knocked him over. The machine shot towards Rouge, and she flew out of the way only to be smashed out of the air by Fox's staff.
Rouge did a back flip and landed on her feet, then dashed out of the way as Fox rushed at her. He used his Fox Illusion one last time, and grabbed his gun back from her pocket. "I'll be taking that back now!" Fox said.
"Darn, I wish I'd seen that coming." Rouge said. Fox fired lasers wildly at her, but she dodged each one of them by leaning and ducking in different directions, then she ran up close and performed a powerful spin kick that caught Fox on the chin. He flew into the air and over the edge. Before he fell, he grabbed the edge, and kicked Rouge when she ran towards him.
The GUN machine charged at the trio watching Rouge and Fox fight, and they all dived out of the way as it began spraying the ground with its machine guns. The pilot steered the machine around in a big turn, then came back at the smashers. Kirby super inflated himself and made his skin super doughy with his star rod, and when the bullets hit him, they bounced everywhere and a few of them hit the machine. She machine stopped for just a second, and that was all Link needed. He grabbed a bomb from his infinite pockets, and tossed it at the machine.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The GUN machine flew back from the explosion, but finally stopped, and flew back at Link. It released a homing laser burst that caught Link off guard a second time, and he skidded across the ground on his back. Paul and Kirby fired stars and fireballs at the machine, and in a few seconds it was down and smoking.
Clang! Bang! Shing! Beum! Whoosh!
Rouge kicked at Fox skillfully, using only her legs as her weapons. Fox swung his staff back and forth, blocking a kick here, and blocking another kick with the other end of his staff, but unfortunately for the two fighters they were evenly matched.
Rouge did another spin kick which Fox blocked, then she leapt into the air and came back towards him like a drill. He dived out of the way just before she hit the ground, and he countered with his Fox illusion. She managed to avoid the attack barely, and they clashed for a few more seconds and ended up in a staff/foot lock.
"You're good, I'll give you that." Rouge panted.
"You're not so bad yourself." Fox groaned, pushing against his staff.
"I have some business to attend to, so I'll be seeing you later."
"Not so fast!" Fox said. He pulled off a surprise attack by twisting his staff and breaking it free, then pushing the handle right into Rouge' chest and knocking the wind out of her. She was knocked back a distance, and Fox rushed her at top speed.
He knocked her over the edge, but not before stealing the blue emerald and Link's bow back.
There was a flapping noise and Rouge flew back up, with a smile on her face. "Nice try, handsome. I'll play with you some other time. Toodles!"
"Wait!"
Fox ran towards the edge, but she vanished so quickly, it was almost as if she weren't there to begin with.
"We managed to get what we came for." Paul said. "We should probably be getting out of here now."
"Time to find the others!" Link said. Link, Paul, Fox, and Kirby jumped over the edge down to the lower levels, and used their skills to slow their descent.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Shadow vanished in a bright flash, leaving everybody standing by, surprised.
There was another flash, and suddenly, Shadow expelled a huge sphere of chaotic energy that slashed everybody wildly with chaos energy, and they all fell back to the ground, burnt and slashed.
"I went easy that time. Cross me again, and I will be sure to destroy you." Shadow said. He smiled darkly, then pressed a button on a device in his hand and disappeared across over the rail.
Beep.
"Ugh…" Ness moaned. "I've never felt power like that before!"
"Shadow…" Matt muttered. "Why didn't he remember me and Tails? And why is this happening all over again?"
"Huh?"
"Nothing." Matt assured Ness.
Beep.
"What was that?" Tails asked, his ears standing up on end.
Beep.
"It came from over there!" Luigi said.
Beep.
The smashers walked over to where the offending noise was coming from, and spotted a small box, about the size of a candy bar, with Eggman's emblem on it, and a glowing green timer.
"IT'S-IT'S A BOMB!" Matt yelled.
"I'll take it out!" Ness said.
"NO! If you touch that, it's set off to explode! If ANYTHING touches it, we'll go up in flames!"
"What do we do!?!?!?" Luigi screamed.
"Well, in a time like this, I'd say…Run." Matt said.
The words sank in rather slowly, then everybody turned away and walked slowly, and picked up speed. Before long they were running away at top speed, screaming their heads off.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Link and his partners had finally crawled out of the vent shaft when Matt and co. slammed into them and they all splatted on the ground.
"Whoa!" Tails yelled. He tried stopping his machine but it tripped on the pile of smashers and smashed them.
"Boiyoh!" Kirby yelled.
"Mommy!" Luigi cried.
"We were just looking for you." Link said, ignoring the weight sitting on his back.
"I have great news for all of you." Matt said sarcastically. "The island's rigged, and it's going to explode in…five minutes."
"WHAAAAT!?!?!" Link Paul and Fox screamed in unison. Kirby gasped loudly.
"Yeah, and we ran into somebody that looks almost exactly like Sonic!" Ness said.
"But he didn't remember me or Matt!" Tails said. "We've met him before, but time's rewound itself somehow…"
"I think each of the worlds may have experienced a time paradox." Matt said. "The reason we weren't affected is because we were in a different dimension all together!"
"So, we kept our memories and such because our dimension wasn't affected by a time disruption?" Ness asked.
"…That's the most logical explanation I can find to this." Matt said.
"How odd." Paul said, stroking his chin.
"…" Matt looked out over the water, and he had a depressed frown on his face.
Ness looked at him from the corner of his eye, and by the look on Matt's face, he knew something was wrong.
"…DANG!" Matt yelled. "we're sitting here wasting precious time, when we should be looking for Sonic and Yoshi! We have three minutes left!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Fwhoom!
Sonic and Yoshi fell through a bunch of leave ridden branches, and landed on a platform floating in the jungle. In the background, there was a huge explosion as the flagship exploded, courtesy of Sonic and Yoshi.
"That blue hedgehog, of all places!" Shadow sighed in frustration. He was on a branch above, in the act of zipping away, when the two heroes shot through the canopy.
"I found you, Shadow!" Sonic said. "Come on, what are you doing up there?"
"That is none of your business, fake." Shadow said.
"What's happened to you!?!?" Sonic asked. "We-We used to do stuff together, fighting against Eggman and other stuff!"
"I have no idea what you speak of." Shadow said bluntly. "I've never even really met you before, my whole life. You would have to be older that fifty years! Ha!"
"Is your amnesia acting up again?" Sonic sighed, shrugging helplessly. "Here, let me jog your memory a little bit! Get down here!"
"With pleasure." Shadow smiled. He shot down, and in a flash, the two hedgehogs went head to head, bashing the daylights out of each other so fast Yoshi's eyes rolled around in his head like gyros.
Sonic and Shadow punched, kicked, and karate chopped at each other, but they gave and took what they got.
Shadow finally got in a chaos charged uppercut that sent Sonic flying into the air, and Shadow warped up and was about to rocket kick him back to the ground when Yoshi launched an egg right in his face.
Shadow wiped egg goo from his face, then glared sullenly at Yoshi. He suddenly felt rooted to the spot by fear. Shadow snapped his fingers and an explosion of distorted energy enveloped Yoshi, sending him into the air.
Sonic had all the time he needed. He zoomed over and tackled Shadow, then leapt up into the air behind him and did a spin attack on his back. Shadow warped away and charged up a ball of energy in his hands, then released it.
"Chaos Spear!"
Sonic shot out of the way just in time as bunches of yellow rays hit the spot where Sonic was. Sonic shot into the air again, and knocked Shadow down with an axe kick. He fell back down towards Shadow, who rolled out of the way and kicked Sonic's legs out from under him.
Yoshi long jumped towards Shadow and aimed both of his feet at him for a vicious double kick, but Shadow dashed though him like a ghost and threw a speck of distorted space at Yoshi that exploded. Yoshi fell in the water with a yelp, but managed not to melt.
Sonic leapt at Shadow and spun around in the air like a windmill, kicking Shadow hard in the stomach and knocking him over. He bounded back up and rushed back at Sonic, and the two hit each other at top speed.
BAM!
They flew back from the collision, both of them breathing raggedly as bruises started to show.
"Shadow! What are you doing!?!?" Eggman's voice yelled over a walkie talkie Shadow had. "Get off that island before it blows up with you on it! Stopp messing around!"
"Blows up!?!?!" Yoshi screamed in fear.
Shadow gaped at the device in shock, and looked back at Sonic and Yoshi, then jumped back and zipped off before they could say so much as jack squat.
"We need to get outta here!" Yoshi cried.
"Hang on!" Sonic yelled. He grabbed Yoshi's hand, and took off faster than ever before.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Everything was in a panic back at the main pier.
The smashers ran everywhere wildly, calling Sonic's and Yoshi's names over an over again.
"Thirty seconds!" Matt yelled. Everybody called more frantically.
Suddenly, there was a sonic boom, and Sonic shot over the edge above and landed nicely by Matt, holding a very freaked out Yoshi by the hand.
"Let's get outta here!" Sonic said.
"Well said." link sighed with relief.
"That's everybody!?!?" Amy yelled.
Everybody gathered up.
"I hope this works!" Tails said. "Tornado! Transformation!"
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hour huge fiery pillars of white hot flame shot up from the island, destroying any assets GUN may have had there.
The last blast obliterated the whole island, and the Tornado flew away from it, with all the smashers and Amy clinging to it in a long human chain, screaming their heads off.
The explosion slowed up and the plane shot out of the reach of its fiery wrath, shooting towards the coast.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Dang, I need to be going to bed. It's a school night, of course!
So, I hope I did good. I think everybody should be seeing some of a twist already.
Now, I will talk about it some other time. thanks for reading, and see ya next time!
With that said, Adieu, and Review!
