Chapter 21: Trouble in the Shed (part 1)

Danville: West side of town

Sonic and his team were walking in the streets.

"Where could that Emerald be?" Buford wondered out loud.

Sonic shrugged.

"According to the Chaos Emerald the next one should be somewhere nearby." He said.

"I really hope we don't have any trouble getting it." Blaze said.

Buford agreed.

"Hey!" Silver exclaimed. "Isn't that…"

"Eggman!?" Sonic finished.

Sure enough, not far ahead of them was a large robot with the familiar symbol.

"What's he doing here?" Blaze asked.

"Wanna go ask?" Silver said jokingly.

"I think he means business guys." Buford said, as the robot turned toward them.

"Hallo!" The man in the cockpit said in surprise. "If it isn't my favorite hedgehog! What are you doing all the way over here?"

"Just paying a visit to this side of town." Sonic replied, then he turned to Silver. "Take the others and keep looking for the Emerald. I'll take care of him."

Silver nodded and motioned the others to follow him.

"So Eggman, ready for round 2?" Sonic asked.

"You bet!" Eggman shouted. "Prepare to be obliterated by my newest robot: The Egg Lancer 2.0!"

Sonic shook his head.

"Another 2.0 robot? How many of those do you even have?" He asked.

"Enough! It's time to die hedgehog!"

Danville: In S.H.E.D.

Knuckles, Isabella, and the Fireside girls were watching Phineas and the others work on the machine.

"I wonder how Sonic and the others are doing." Ginger said, looking at Knuckles.

"Hmm," Knuckles was still a bit upset that he couldn't go with the others. "I'll be right back." He said, walking outside.

"I wonder where he's going." Adyson said.

Tails looked up.

"He's probably going outside to think for a bit."

Several minutes later…

"There!" Phineas exclaimed. "Now the machine will be able to get more power from the Emeralds! This will make it a lot easier to get you guys back home."

"Awesome!" Tails said.

"But that won't happen." A familiar voice said.

Everyone looked toward the door and saw who it was.

"You again!?" Phineas said in fear.

"Hello again kid." Metal Sonic said, and walked in. "Don't worry, I'm not here to break anything or kill anyone." He assured them.

"Then what are you here for?" Isabella asked him.

"Like I said, I'm just not gonna let you help Sonic and his friends get home."

"Like you can stop us!" Tails exclaimed.

Phineas looked at him in surprise.

Metal Sonic was just as shocked. "Well, I guess I can make a small adjustment to my 'not gonna kill anyone' idea." He said threateningly.

Phineas saw Tails tighten his fists.

"If that's what you want, then that's what you'll get!" Tails shouted, charging at Metal Sonic.

Metal Sonic teleported behind Tails and grabbed him.

"That wasn't the best thing I've seen you do." He said.

Phineas and Ferb looked at each other, then they walked toward the back of the room.

"Let go of me!" Tails said, struggling to escape Metal Sonic's grasp.

Metal Sonic laughed.

"Well, you started it. Your rash actions have always given you nothing but grief and misery, and so will this one!"

Isabella and the Fireside girls were shocked at that.

"What are you talking about?" Isabella asked.

"Oh, so Tails didn't tell you?" Metal Sonic said, slightly surprised. "Well, I'm not going to get into it, since I'm on a timeline, but Tails has done some really rash actions, and one of them caused the death of an innocent person!"

"Shut up!" A voice shouted.

Everyone looked at the door and saw Knuckles.

"How'd you get out of the trap?" Metal asked, not happy.

"You seriously thought you could keep me boxed in a cage for long?" Knuckles teased him. "And no, the others don't know what you're talking about, because it's none of their business!" Saying that, he charged at Metal Sonic. Right before he could hit them, a black hedgehog jumped in front of Knuckles, taking the blow.

"Wha-!?"

Metal Sonic laughed.

"Sorry Knucklehead, but that won't work."

Shadow Android stood up.

"My turn now!" He crouched down for a couple seconds.

"What's he doing?" Baljeet asked.

Suddenly a purplish light surrounded Shadow Androids' hands, and he punched Knuckles with a lightning-fast attack.

"What was that?" Milly asked in shock.

Shadow Android turned to her.

"That was Chaos Nightmare." He told her. "A very powerful move that can knock out just about anyone, just like it did Knuckles."

He suddenly sped at the machine and took the Chaos Emeralds.

"Now," Metal Sonic said. "Lets' finish this!"

..

To be continued…

Can Sonic defeat Eggman again? Can Silver find the Chaos Emerald? What about Phineas and the others? What action was Metal Sonic talking about? Are Phineas and the others going to survive the attack?

A/N: Chapter 21 complete! Eggman finally is back in the action! I decided not to let him be idle while everyone else is fighting; I mean really, he's the main villain in Sonic. :P So, the rash action that Metal Sonic was talking about: In actuality it was not a rash action, but Metal Sonic is trying to make it sound that way because it had caused a bit of grief for them, mainly Tails. (If any of you figure out what it is, I will be really surprised, and I'll go read all your stories. [That's the only way I can think of to reward you]) So, where are Phineas and Ferb going? You'll see… If you are enjoying this, or have any questions, please comment (review) and I'll answer them. Thanks for reading!
