Battles of the Century

Sonic watched as Metal transformed into his Super form. Metal's body turned gold, but was still slightly transparent. His eyes became a darkened red color. His tail became a bit longer, and two spikes grew out of his back, similar to the ones on his head. Sonic began to chuckle.

"You're supposed to be the fastest person alive, yet you take forever to transform."

"To have so much power takes patience, hedgehog." Metal finally finished his transformation. "Besides, don't you want this fight to be as long as possible?"

"Yeah, as long as I don't have to drag it out." Sonic grinned with a concerned thought going through his mind. "I don't know if I'll even be able to fight long enough. This Chaos Ring Tails gave me completely changed the strength and drain of the original transformation. Tails…" Sonic suddenly became angry.

"I WILL AVENGE HIM!!" Sonic yelled as he powered up.

"You will avenge no one! Now prepare to die!"

Sonic and Metal flew at each other at full force.

"CHAOS CONTROL!" they yelled as a bright light surrounded them. They began sparring, continuing their fight as time was frozen around them. After a while, they punched each other in the face, stopping the effects of Chaos Control.

Espio had a small grin on his face as he looked at Ixuma's body lying on the ground. Black Doom looked at Ixuma with disgust.

"What a fool. His stupidity cost him his life. Xunax, dispose of this foolish chameleon immediately." Xunax became surprised.

"But sir! You saw how he killed Ixuma in one hit! Seriously, the power difference between Ixuma's and mines won't make a difference!" Black Doom became angered.

"Are you saying that you'd rather disobey me than face death?" Xunax became scared.

"N-no sir! I'm just saying that fighting him is suicide! There's no point in it!" Doom continued looking at him.

"I'll show you suicide." Suddenly, Xunax froze in place, paralyzed.

"N-no, please!" Doom moved his hand as he held it out, so that Xunax was now floating directly in front of Espio. Espio smiled.

"Too bad you didn't have the guts to face me. You could have lived." Xunax had a surprised look on his face.

"You fool…" Xunax whispered. Doom smiled.

"This is YOUR suicide, Xunax!" Doom called. Xunax expanded a bit before he started glowing. Espio became surprised.

"Get down!" he yelled to Rouge and Charmy as he turned around and began to run. Xunax suddenly exploded, devouring Xuma's body also. The mountains around them crumbled, leveling the area around them. When everything settled, Espio was standing not far across from Doom. Rouge got up, uncovering Charmy, who was under her. They looked as Espio spoke with Doom.

"If you ask me that was a desperate move on your part. You should have tried a different approach."

"No one asked you anything, chameleon. I don't need any advice from you. I am the ultimate power, the immortal life form. All other beings bow before my feet, and soon this entire planet, along with the Chaos Emeralds, will be mine."

"Wow, you're funny. And to think you even have a chance…"

"You fool! I'm sure you've fought Shadow before! I bet you're NOTHING compared to him. And he is nothing compared to ME!"

"The Shadow you know is far surpassed what he used to be. And I am far passed that, too."

"Then let's settle this right here and now. It's time the universe began to know who I am and chant my name." They flew into the sky.

Sonic and Metal went blow after blow, neither one backing down. Sonic elbowed Metal in the face. He then kicked him, sending Metal sliding against the ground on his feet. Metal stopped and looked up as he put his hand up and shot a blast. Sonic dodged it and punched Metal in the gut. He then flipped over Metal and kicked him in the back of his head. Metal quickly turned around and shot another blast. Sonic shot a blast to counter it, but after the explosion Metal and Sonic punched each other in the face. They jumped back.

"Give up, Metal! You know you've lost!" Metal smiled

"That's exactly what your son said before I blew up the planet!"

Metal flew and began throwing kicks for the sides of Sonic's head. Sonic blocked them all, then got on the ground on his hand as he spun on it, kicking Metal in the face. Metal jumped back and flew at Sonic as they hit shoulder to shoulder. Metal threw a punch, but Sonic disappeared and reappeared, punching Metal in the side of his face. He then kneed Metal in the stomach, sending him back. Metal came back and threw rapid punches, each one missing Sonic.

Metal shot a blast, just for Sonic to grab it while pulling his arm back, and sending it back at Metal. Metal jumped over it and they began sparring again. Sonic dodged each of Metal's attack and jumped back with a disappointed look on his face.

"What's wrong, Metal? For someone with 14 chaos emeralds, you are pretty weak." Metal smiled.

"Then let's see if you can handle this!"

Metal flew up and created an enormous energy ball as big as half the planet. He tossed it at Sonic. Sonic smiled as he powered up and shot a blast, sending the ball away from the planet.

"Metal! I know you're holding back! I felt it! Why aren't you at full strength?" Metal began to laugh.

"Because I can tell your transformation has a huge toll on your body. I'm just toying with you until you can't hold the transformation anymore. But now that you think you're ready for it, I'll go all out. I know you won't be able to stand long against me."

"We'll see about that!"

Doom smiled as he began powering up. A red sphere surrounded him as he raised his strength. A black cloud formed above him and began spreading around the entire planet. The wind blew violently as Espio covered his eyes and Charmy and Rouge ran behind a boulder to cover themselves.

Doom's horns sticking out the sides of his head bend backwards and the small horns on his head grew larger. The middle eye on his face flew off and moved itself to the back of his head, so that he now had two front eyes and one eye on the back. Two legs grew below Doom's body, so that he was not a floating upper body anymore. His eyes turned brighter red as he finished.

"You're finished, chameleon!"

Doom flew and head butted Espio, then elbowed him in the gut. As Espio fell, Doom teleported behind Espio and kicked him. Espio landed on a rock and flew up. Doom stuck his hand out and shot a dark purple blast. Espio powered up and flew out of the way. Doom threw another blast, this time hitting Espio. When the smoke cleared, Espio was seen with his arms up in defense, shaking a bit from the blast.

"What's wrong? Are you now realizing how low your chances of defeating me are?" Espio smiled at Doom's question.

"No, I'm just getting a bit chilly. Now it's time for you to see my real power."

Espio powered up to three-fourths his power and flew for Doom. He threw a punch at his face, then kicked him into the air. He began flying around Doom as Doom threw a blast, attempting to hit Espio. Espio dodged it and kicked Doom into a mountain. Suddenly, an explosion from inside the debris occurred. Doom flew out of it in anger.

"There's no way! It's impossible for you to be this strong and fast!"

"It's possible, Doom! And I can get even stronger AND faster!" Doom started laughing.

"Fool. Even I know you're almost at your limit. But I'm nowhere near mine. I COULD transform again if I wanted, but I know that won't be necessary."

"Don't say that just yet, this fight is just starting."

Espio charged at Doom and jumped over him, kicking him in the back. Doom landed on his feet, turned around, and threw a charged up punch at him. Espio dodged it and thew a powerful punch in Doom's gut. Doom shook in pain, but brushed it off as he tried to double axe-handle Espio. Espio rammed his head into Doom's eye. Doom fell backwards on the ground, his whole face in pain.

"YOU STUPID CHAMELEON!!!" he yelled, holding his eye.

Metal began flying downwards towards Sonic. Sonic stood and got in position, ready to fire everything he had in a blast.

"I won't be able to hold this form any longer." Sonic said to himself. "I have to destroy Metal NOW!"

After a second of charging, Sonic threw everything he had at Metal. When the smoke cleared there were a million pieces of Metal's body floating. They all formed to make tiny versions of Metal Sonic. The Metals laughed as they put their hands out and shots tons of blasts at Sonic. Sonic put his guard up as he blocked himself from the blasts. But when the blasts stopped, Sonic felt his power slipping, and he powered down back to normal. He fainted and hit the ground, his body stressed from his ultra form. The Metals formed back into one complete Metal.

"And now, to finish the job."

Metal put his hand out and shot a blast just strong enough to completely disintegrate Sonic. But when the blast hit, there was someone that blocked it from hitting Sonic.

It was Knuckles.

I'm sorry I haven't updated in a LONG time. School has gotten to me, especially since I'm trying to prepare myself for college. Anyways, I REALLY want to finish my series (especially this episode), and I'm sure whoever likes/liked EotW 1 &2 will DEFINATELY like EotW 3 (final episode). It'll have more emeralds, more Chao, more transformations, more explanations, and LESS rushing (as I'm doing with these last few chapters, which I don't like doing). Anywayz, continue reading and please R&R!
