Chapter 29
"Of course I want the rest of the Chaos Emeralds!" Sonic shouted back. He then mentally kicked himself for using the word 'want.' He doesn't like it when it seems that he is hungry for more power just because he is greedy. He actually needs the Chaos Emeralds.
"You're telling me that after all this, you don't know how to use the Chaos Emerald's power anyway you want? Sonic, I got to say that I am very disappointed in you." Spurino began to stir from his temporary unconsciousness. All of the hedgehogs looked towards Spurino and immediately sprung into action. Sonic headed towards Spurino while Shadow and Suprion immediately headed for each other. However, Silver was the only one that had done something productive. He raised his hands and stopped all of them from moving. "Sonic, as a protector of these gems, you really must know the secrets in them. The Chaos Emeralds can do a lot of things."
Sonic looked at Spurino who was smiling very sinisterly.
"Silver is right Sonic!" Spurino spoke. "In fact, look at how I can control the Chaos Emerald's power!" At the very end of 'power' Spurino was no longer consumed in green and he immediatly ran at top speed towards Sonic. With his right hand, Spurino grabbed Sonic's neck and dragged Sonic towards the entrance of the ziggurat. Oh no! Silver thought, once he realized what was happening. He never thought that any of the black hedgehogs would be able to figure out that his telekenisis powers actually used stored Chaos Emerald Energy. And by the looks of things, the great Sonic the Hedgehog might be put out of commission much quicker than presumed. Needless to say, Sonic was going to impact with the barrier again, and it may be much more painful than before.
While he was being carried, Sonic was struggling to get himself out of this type of hold. It is one thing to be put in a head lock, but it's another to be carried by your neck with your whole body stuck because of the telekenisis powers. In addition, the time needed to release Spurino's hold was much more than the time allowed and literally within a second and a half, Spurino was right in front of the entrance. When he reached, he slammed Sonic right into barrier, back first, and held him there while he stared right into Sonic's eyes and stated:
"Your time on this earth has finished Sonic!" Sonic simply screamed from the intense pain. This must have been a trick set up between Silver, Spurino and Suprion. Why else would Silver keep me paralyzed from his powers? Now Spurino was able to freely carry me to this damn place. ARGGH! Spurino held Sonic there for nearly 10 seconds before the thrust the barrier put on Sonic was too much for Spurino's power (Seeing how Sonic flew back extremely fast before). When Sonic was finally launched from the barrier, he screeched through the air at a speed which caused the water molecules on his body to vaporize from the heat of the friction. Also, because of the intensified heating that the friction of air rubbing against his body had created, a thunder followed immediately after (This was before he hit the forest by the way.). When Sonic cleared the forest clearing, he immediately crashed into numerous trees and collapsed many trees without losing very much speed. In seconds he had cleared the 600 metres that was between the ziggurat and a nearby cliff hanging over a large area of water. Sonic finally ran out of speed from the wind resistance and fell straight down, splashing into the pool far below (About a 6 second drop). Hissing sounds rose from the water as steam slowly made their way up from the pool before disappearing into the air. Many would think that Sonic was a goner. However, the one hint that dispelled these thoughts was that Sonic still had the red Chaos Emerald's power with him. In his mind was once again, darkness...
Sonic stood in the middle of a vast void, which was very like the one before when he collapsed outside of Station Square. Not again! Sonic thought. He looked down once more and this time he didn't see a single light at all. All around him was a sheet of blackness. Sonic sighed and ran forwards as fast as he could. He couldn't tell exactly how fast he was going because once again, he had no point of reference. Not even breeze to go through his spikes. Eventually Sonic stopped seeing that that joy of running had been taken due to the disappearance of the very same elements. Sonic simply stood there and folded his arms.
After about 2 minutes of standing there and thinking, an invisible punch impacted Sonic's right cheek. Sonic shook off the impact and looked in the direction where he thought he was hit. All he saw was a black sheet of nothing in front of him. Hardly five seconds later, the bottom of his jaw was impacted, and Sonic flew upwards from the impact and then landed on what he thought of a floor with a thud. Sonic laid there on his back trying to use his UA to "see" anything that was around him. However, in this world, it seems as if he had lost all of his senses with the exception of touch. Despite he can feel pain and where he was being hit, he couldn't feel any vibrations on the floor and therefore even his sense of touch was completely useless. Sonic got up from the floor. How am I going to see these guys? Sonic thought. And then a thought was returned right into his head along with something like a kick, which was delivered to his chest. He twirled in the air and landed back on the floor, this time on his side. You have the power of the Chaos Emerald. Sonic took that thought into consideration and went into deep thought. Silver said that I can use the Chaos Emerald's power in any way I want. Perhaps I can use it to see who exactly is hitting me. AGH! This time, just as Sonic got up again, he was tripped. He completely ignored it and instead focused on direction all of the Chaos Emerald's Energy into "seeing" what was ahead of him. For the first minute, all Sonic got was punches and kicks constantly, but he merely blocked out all of his other senses and focused on Chaos Emerald Energy. Come on! This gotta work! It will work! It has to!
Suddenly, it was like as if a gate in his mind had opened up and immediately he knew what he had to do. It wasn't like as if you forgot how to tie your shoelace or how to spell a word. It was like as if you forgot how to fold your tongue or you wanted to say a word but you couldn't remember it and then suddenly you do. For Sonic it was slightly deeper, and had a more familiar sense to it. He had unlocked another one of the Chaos Emerald's hidden powers and soon, he could see clearly what was hitting him. Just like before, it was Mario. Sonic decided to deal with this person quickly. He remembered clearly what happened after he defeated him. He grew stronger and ended up in his bed with Amy looking over him from the side with a worried face.
Mario was just about to punch Sonic once more, however, Sonic easily moved out of its way by leaning to the side. Mario's grin was replaced instantly by a look of utter amazement and shock. What? You never seen me kick your butt before? Sonic thought. Quickly, Sonic grabbed his outstretched arm and tossed him into the air. Sonic jumped up and above Mario and landed a kick right into his chest, propelling Mario to the floor. Mario bounced and then slid to a stop. Sonic didn't hesitate, there is one thing he has learned from the villains who he faced, never hesitate to finish your job. If you do, they can turn the tables with a single rush of strength. Sonic rushed towards Mario at near 100 km/h and kicked him into the air. Then by using Chaos Control, Sonic teleported into Mario's path. As soon as Mario met him in the air, Sonic kicked him downwards. Once again, Sonic Chaos Controlled onto the ground and as soon as Mario was just above the ground, Sonic spin kicked him forward. Sonic then teleported up into the air and initiated Chaos Rush. Sonic flew towards Mario, who was soaring through the air just above the ground, and smashed his foot into Mario's chest. Mario flew right through the invisible floor and fell away downwards. Sonic turned around and looked down at Mario with a puzzled look. I could have actually fallen through this thing? Mario simply kept falling faster and faster until he was out of sight. Sonic moved towards where he thought the hole that Mario created was. When he put his hands on the floor, there was no hole, not even a crack. This world is so weird. Sonic sighed, stood up and looked up. Just like he expected, he saw a sort of electrical sign above him. It said Level 2 of Power. The sign flickered and then changed to Level 3 of Awareness. After Sonic read it, the area around him grew brighter and brighter until it seemed as if light was being emitted from everywhere. Sonic squinted but then he had to keep his eyes closed or else he was sure he would sustain damage, especially since his eyes were rather big. Suddenly the light was gone and then Sonic opened his eyes. What he saw shocked him. He was floating on his back in the middle of the pool of water. He never knew he could do that consciously, let alone unconsciously.
