Chapter Twenty-Five: Metal's Wrath
"Why bother trying to defy me? My conquest is imminent!" Metal Madness proclaimed as his vertically eyes gazed at the fifteen meddlesome heroes that surrounded him. "Eggman said his transformation is not complete yet." Espio informed his team. "Incomplete freak!" Charmy exclaimed. "This is our chance. Let's get him!" Vector ordered. Metal Madness swatted at Charmy, who was annoyingly buzzing around his head. But the bee was too small to catch. "Hold still, you worthless pest!" Metal Madness demanded. "Ha-ha, you can't catch me." Charmy taunted. But while Charmy kept Metal Madness preoccupied, Vector curled Espio into a ball and reel his arm back. "Sure you can handle this?" Vector asked. "Yes, just leave it to me." Espio assured him. With his massive strength, Vector hurled Espio towards Metal Madness' head. Espio quickly uncurled and performed a series of hand signs. "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu" Espio took a deep breath and then breathed out a large ball of flames headed for Metal Madness. Unfortunately, a metal tail came from out of nowhere and blocked the fireball. "What?" Espio questioned. Metal Madness' top eye caught sight of Espio and swatted him away with his tail. Espio dropped down on Vector and Metal Madness finally swatted Charmy away. "Insignificant pests." Metal Madness said.
"Looks like the idiot trio could use our help." Wave said. "Then what do you say we give it to them." Jet said. "Right, boss!" Storm saluted. The Babylon Rogue's break into a run before throwing their Gear out in front. The thieving birds jump to land on the gear and make their way to Metal Madness. "Hahaha. More worthless victims." Metal Madness said. Jet and Storm circled left around Metal Madness, while Wave circled left. Unfortunately, Metal saw this tactic coming and gripped his crab-like claw around Wave. Metal Madness held Wave to his dragon face and said "Time to die." Metal Madness opened his jaw and held Wave above before dropping her. Wave was only inches away from being Metal Madness' lunch until. "TIME BREAK!" Jet shouted. Time froze as Jet swiftly caught Wave in his arms just in time. When time was restored, Storm came out of nowhere and delivered a ferocious uppercut to Metal madness' head. Too bad Metal Madness recovered quickly and caught Storm with his spiked claw. "You are really beginning to annoy me." Metal Madness said. Metal Madness pulled back his claw and launched Storm straight ahead. Wave was enjoying being in her hero's arms until Storm landed on the two love bird and dropped them to the ground. "Typical." Wave complained. "What happened?" Storm asked. Wave bashed him over the head.
"Anymore challengers that wish to perish?" Metal Madness boasted. "Why don't you try us on for size?!" Metal Madness looked over to see Knuckles, Tails, and Cream ready to fight. "You must be joking." Metal Madness laughed. "You won't be laughing when your scrape!" Knuckles yelled. "Then come." Metal Madness challenged. Knuckles bashed his fists together to activate his echidna blood ability while Tails and Cream took to the skies. "Now, Cream!" Tails shouted. Tails reached for his backpack and threw a mess of explosive rings and Cream threw her chao at the metal monster. Unfortunately, Metal Madness' armor proved to be too strong and was left without a scratch. "Is that all? That was-AHH!" Metal Madness screamed in pain as Knuckles drove his burning fist into Metal Madness' torso. "Not so tough, now are you?" Knuckles mocked. In blinding rage, Metal Madness knocked Tails and Cream away with his claws and whipped Knuckles with his tail. "You will pay for your insolence." Metal Madness said as he opened up his crab-like claw. Metal pointed his claw to the small group and shot out a stream of fire. Not having enough time to get away, Knuckles willingly jumped in front of the flames. "Knuckles!" Cream screamed as she watched her friend collapsed from the attack, covered in scorch marks.
"Knuckles!" Rogue screamed as she quickly ran to his side, followed close by Omega and Chaos. "Rouge lifted Knuckles burned body into her arms wept openly for him. "You knucklehead!" Rouge cried. "What a foolish decision. Risking his life for those worms. How idiotic." Metal Madness said. "Oh boy, he's done it now." Chaos muttered. "I'll turn you to scrape!" Rouge flared before jumping recklessly to Metal Madness. Metal Madness swiped his spiked claw down to Rouge, but the white bat quickly jumped back and opened her wings to take flight. Rouge flew atop Metal Madness' Spiked head and spun downward to perform her signature attack. "SCREW KICK!" Rouge screeched. Rouge drilled into Metal Madness' head, giving him one massive headache. Metal roared as he used Chaos' ability to create a mechanical arm to catch Rouge's foot. "I've had enough of your foolishness." Metal Madness said. The metal arm started swinging Rouge in circles before throwing her down to the group. Luckily, Chaos stretched his arm to catch the bat and gently set her down next to Knuckles. "You stay here and take care of your boyfriend. Omega and I will take over from here." Chaos said. Rouge offered no argument and stayed behind as he team took charged at Metal Madness.
"When will you fools learn that you can never win?" Metal Madness questioned. "I may have a brain, but I don't use it very often." Chaos said. There was an awkward silence. "That didn't come out right, did it?" Chaos asked. "Negative!" Omega replied. "Very well. I will no longer hold back." Metal Madness said. Metal Madness swung his tail to the two, only to have it caught by Omega's impressive strength. "Primary target captured!" Omega stated. "So you think." Metal Madness said. Metal Madness swung his tail out of Omega's grip and swatted him into a nearby wall. "That can't be good." Chaos said. "It isn't." Metal Madness said. Chaos returned his attention to Metal Madness just in time to avoid the spiked claw aimed for him. "Whew, that was a close one." Chaos said. "It doesn't end there." Metal Madness said. Just then, Metal Madness lifted one of his claws and fired it like a missile. Chaos was surprised by the attack and had no time to avoid it. The second the missile came in contact, Chaos was frozen in a sphere of ice. "It is an impossibility for me to lose." Metal Madness said. But just as fast as he was frozen, the ice was reduced to a puddle. Chaos body was literally boiling before it returned to its normal state. "You forgot that I can change my body temperature." Chaos said. Metal Madness ignored his comment and swung his tail to knock Chaos away.
Metal Madness had defeated twelve of the troublesome heroes, which left only the all girl team. "Now, where are they?" Metal Madness questioned. His question was answered when two hard objects and a burning sensation hit his back. Metal Madness turned around to face Amy, Blaze, and Kumori. "Please. If the others couldn't defeat me, what makes you think you can?" Metal Madness questioned. "We're different from the others. We're tougher." Kumori boasted. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves." Blaze whispered. "If that's what you think, then prove it." Metal Madness challenged. Kumori gladly accepted the challenged and curled into her ball form to se a homing attack. Metal Madness merely swiped his claw to push Kumori through the wall nearby. Metal Madness felt a burning sensation in his back and turned his head completely around to see Blaze creating a fiery tornado in his back. "How futile." Metal Madness said. Metal Madness whipped his tail and knocked Blaze to the side like she was nothing. "All of Sudden, Amy jumped from out of nowhere and Brought her Piko-Piko Hammer down on the dragon head. The force of Amy's attack was so strong that it left a major dent in his head. "You'll pay for that." Metal Madness said as he pounded Amy down to the steel floor.
Amy attempted to get back to her feet, only to fall back t her needs. "Now I will have my revenge for the misery you caused me three years ago." Metal Madness said. Metal Madness raised his tail and brought it down on the pink hedgehog. Amy closed her eyes and covered her head to await the final blow, but it never came. Amy opened her eyes to see Recter holding Metal Madness' tail. "You ok?" Recter asked. "Yeah." Amy replied. Metal Madness tried to pry his tail from Recter, but the red hedgehog wouldn't let go. "Release me!" Metal Madness demanded. "Whatever you say." Recter said. In an amazing feat of strength, Recter pulled the tail and ripped it off. Metal Madness roared in horrid pain. "Now to finish this." Recter said as he threw the tail away. Recter charged in fury to the metallic monster until Metal Madness launched the spikes on his back. Recter screeched to a halt as the spikes surrounded him and created a dome of crystal spikes. "Recter!" Amy cried. "He's finished." Metal Madness stated. But just when he thought he had one, Recter crashed through the floor and aimed directly at Metal Madness' chest. "Take this!" Recter yelled. Recter drove a punch to Metal Madness' chest that crashed straight through him to create a big gapping hole.
Recter jumped straight back to land in front of the fifteen Heroes as the watched Metal Madness' mechanical body went limp. "Looks like we didn't need that blue idiot's help after all." Recter said. "Ha-ha-ha-ha." Metal's laughter echoed though the air. All of a sudden, Metal Madness' body reactivated and gave out a mighty roar. "You thought you had defeated me. Think again." Metal Madness laughed. Then, to everyone's surprise, the hole and all of the injuries instantly healed. "Ok, what's going on here?" Jet questioned. "Hahaha, it's really quite simple. While you were 'defeating me', I was secretly absorbing your chaos energy." Metal Madness explained. "WHAT?!" everyone exclaimed. "And now I have enough power to complete my transformation." Metal Madness roared. Metal Madness commanded the lightning to strike him again as he once again transformed. Metal Madness sprouted claw-like wings from the sphere on his lower body and detached himself from the battleship. Metal Madness had become Metal Overlord. "How fitting for a Metal Overlord to rule an Metal Empire." Metal Overlord laughed as he flew into the sky. "Now what?" Chaos asked. "It's up to Sonic, Shadow, and Silver now." Blaze said.
Sonic, Shadow, and Silver had been watching the entire battle from below and witnessed Metal Overlord's transformation and departure into the sky. "Looks like we have our work cut out for us." Sonic commented. "I suggest we hurry up and transform before he causes anymore damage." Shadow said. "Hey Silver, did we ever transform during the whole 'Solaris' thing?" Sonic asked, having no memory of the Solaris incident. "I'll tell you everything when this is over." Silver said. Sonic, Shadow, and Silver gathered around and placed their hands together as the chaos emeralds floated above their heads. The seven chaos emerald began circling around the trio, filling them with the positive energies of chaos. And for the first time since Solaris, the trio of hedgehogs became Super Sonic, Super Shadow, and Super Silver. "Let's rock and roll!" Sonic cheered. Shadow and Silver nodded their heads in agreement. Sonic, Shadow, and Silver took of into the sky for the final battle with Metal Overlord.
Finally, the final battle is upon us. This time I promise, the next chapter is the final one.
