Sonic BN Brawl Chapter 29 The 30,000 Year War

The skies were consumed with a gray atmosphere, rain suddenly beginning to pour down onto the decrepit, obliterated city. Sonic had prepared himself for this final battle, and it was time to settle it all. He began to dash to the sides of the mighty Chaos, who attempted to strike him by causing impenetrable twisters of water to attack him. They seemed to home in on the hero, but even so, he managed to maneuver away from every single one. "Is that all you got?" He dashed even faster towards the beast, who was preparing to unleash some kind of energetic blast from its mouth. As it released the blast, Sonic barely managed to dodge it, but even so, he was soon pegged by a numerous amount of energy darts that were the color of blood. As they pierced through his skin, he could feel the stings one after the other. It hurt, to say the least. "Damn!" He got back on his feet and dashed towards the monster once again, this time finding a way to damage it. As he drew closer to the beast, he noticed the creature's only weakness: the membrane. It was atop its skull, and if he was going to get anywhere, he would have to strike it. Right as he ran into the creature, he discovered that he could freely maneuver inside of it. "That's it!" He backtracked to gain more speed, and as soon as he was fast enough, he leapt into the beast, but instead of going straight ahead, he jumped high into its skull and dashed straight out of its skull, damaging the membrane.

Chaos began to crumble to pieces like always, but since there was a plentitude of water around, the monster reformed itself on the other side of the city. Sonic had discovered the one formula to victory: by picking up enough speed, he could jump into Chaos' membrane and strike it from the inside. This was the only way he could win; it didn't seem like a lot of work, but it was. "Let's give it another go!" He could feel his blood being pumped even faster than before, and he felt a new sense of inner strength. He jumped back down from the street he had landed on and began to dash across the water once again, determined to defeat his foe. This time, the spikes Chaos unleashed from its sides attacked Sonic at a much faster rate, and they seemed to inflict more damage, as well. Still, he managed to dodge them all, and once again, he dashed into the creature and jumped to the membrane, striking it and dashing straight out of it. Chaos once again crumbled to nothing but water, and once again, it reformed on the other side of the city. This seemed a little repetitive to the hero, but he didn't care; not if it was the only way to win.

Sonic began his next dash the same way as before, picking up just enough speed to dash through his enemy. The eyes of Station Square were all glued on him, watching as he dashed repeatedly through the city and damaged the almighty monster. His friends were all cheering for him, giving him more courage and strength to defeat Chaos. Mina, amongst everyone else, was just relieved that he was still alive. She couldn't be happier than she was to see him again. "Go, Sonic! Go!" It was as if though he actually heard her cheering; he felt himself going faster and faster right after she said such words. But the only other thing he was paying attention to was the rapid beating of his heart, which grew as he once again approached his enemy. Maneuvering through the rough tides of the water and making his way into the creature once more, he sprinted to the beast's skull once more and struck the membrane, once again causing Chaos to dissolve.

But for a while, Chaos refused to reform itself. Sonic simply stood as he awaited the retaliation of his enemy. He knew that after gaining the power of all seven Chaos Emeralds-even only as data-Chaos was far more powerful than this. It turned out, he was right. Moments after everyone had fallen silent, Chaos once again reformed itself, but this time, just its mere resurrection brought forth blistering tidal waves and uncontrollable, raging storms of rain to flood even more of the decrepit city. Chaos was, to the dismay of Station Square, gaining power. Now, it unleashed its attacks stronger and faster than ever before, and Sonic would have to be especially careful if he planned to even get near the creature. He dashed straight for it, barely dodging the onslaughts it fired at him. Spears that were sharper and more accurate than the ones before, larger, faster twisters of water, and even the ability to rapidly fire an energy blast from its mouth...and Sonic knew that this was just the beginning.

Going on the absolute offensive, Sonic managed to pick up more speed than he needed and dash straight into Chaos once more, striking its membrane and causing it to dissolve. But that wasn't enough, of course; the creature reformed itself once again on the other side of the city, eager to prove that it was truly a creature of immortality. Sonic was unable to accept this, and so, one more charge of speed was his answer to his enemy's resurrection. As he approached Chaos once again, he dashed straight through it, once again striking the membrane. And just as he expected, Chaos once again reformed on the other side of the city. He knew that, unfortunately, he was getting nowhere with this, and every time he landed a direct hit on the monster, it would only gain more power and become more fierce, until it didn't even need to reform itself after every blow; it could destroy anything by mere touch. "I have to think of something different...!" He clenched his hands into fists, and he could feel the aura surrounding him grow larger and brighter, filling him with even more power. He once again dashed straight for the beast, this time completely ignorant to the fact that he had far more than enough speed to dash through it. But that was probably because he had a new plan: he was going to do his best to destroy the membrane itself rather than strike it.

As Sonic bolted for Chaos at an inhuman level of speed, he dashed straight through the creature before it could even acknowledge him doing so. But instead of the usual routine, Sonic prepared the LifeSword and it materialized on his right arm. "Suck on this!" The sword lowered and stabbed straight into the membrane, and it remained there for as long as Sonic could hold it. Chaos, the God of Destructuion himself, began to scream out in pain and anguish, and blood began to splatter from the destroyed membrane. Sonic glanced down at the necklace he had received from Mina when he was in the hospital, and he remembered its latent power. He placed his left hand on the necklace, and with a mere wish, the LifeSword doubled in power! The membrane itself no longer existed! Chaos, the menace of Station Square, had finally been defeated! The creature began to dissolve one last time, until finally, a large explosion from the destroyed membrane completely annihilated its chances of revival. Sonic had landed safely on his feet a few yards away, a smile lit across his face as he witnessed the destruction of his enemy. He lifted his hand in a thumbs up sign, and he grinned. "Game over!"

All of Station Square began to cheer uncontrollably, shouting their hero's name over and over in a chant, and throwing whistles and yells from all over. Mina could wait no longer to see her boyfriend, and so, she leapt from the building she was in and dashed over to Sonic. "Sonic!" His body turned to face the direction of the voice, and he smiled widely to see that it was Mina. She ran right into him, tumbling them down to the ground, laughing. "I'm so happy you're okay!" He rose to his feet, and offered his hand to Mina, putting her back on hers. But to his surprise, after a few moments of respite, she slapped him across the face, leaving behind a red hand mark. "What was THAT for?" he demanded.

"That's for scaring the shit out of me!" she yelled.

He blinked in confusion. But he managed to smile afterwards. "I'm sorry, Mina."

He could see a single tear fall from her eye. "Just...don't ever do that again!"

He held her tightly as she forced back her tears. "I promise. I won't scare you anymore."

She found comfort in his words, and she smiled while in his arms. "I love you."

He laughed slightly, his voice sounding a little deeper than usual. "I love you, too."

But their happiness was not to last. Moments after they had reunited, the entire earth began to shake with a ferocious magnitude. The water engulfing the ruins of the city began to rise in pillars, and eventually, they formed a massive monument in the shape of Chaos' head. But perhaps the most horrifying thing witnessed was that it actually turned into a solid, forming into a bloody, fractured version of chaos' head. The top where the skull was looked oddly enough like a throne room of sorts, and it was large enough for more than just a king to exist within it. After the throne was formed, a massive pillar of water suddenly emerged only feet away from where Sonic and Mina stood, and it began to materialize on top of the skull. What became solid was an ominous creature, one with seven spiked tentacles formed of liquid sprouting from its back. Its body was draped in a ceremonial robe, one that only an ancient lord or king would be caught wearing. Various markings of the Chaos Emeralds were seen on the robe, signaling that this could only mean trouble for Sonic. As the creature's head began to form, both Sonic and Mina were shocked as to see what it had become; the creature dawned a face similar to Sonic's! The only difference was that its body was completely blue, and its eyes were of the same peridot as Chaos.

The creature bestowed an evil, sinister grin, one that spread through its entire face. It began to laugh maniacally. "I guess not even a hero could hope to defeat the God of Destruction!"

Sonic clenched his hands into fists. "Chaos?"

Mina shook her head rapidly. "No way! It...It can talk?"

His voice echoed through the destroyed city. "Come, my friend! Join me once more in the heat of battle! I will admit that I've not had this much entertainment in more than 30,000 years!"

Sonic slowly released Mina and stepped forward, only to be pulled back by her arm. "Hold on! Let's get everyone to help out!"

He shook his head. "No. I have to do this alone."

"No, Sonic! What if something happens? You could...you could die!"

"I know. But it's a risk I have to take...for everyone."

"You're so stupid! Why? Why do you always have to act tough?" She began to cry.

He turned to face her again, and he hugged her tightly, refusing to let up. "I'm sorry, Mina. If I take you guys in there with me...all of you will probably die."

"What...?"

"Chaos is way too powerful now for anyone but me. Even I have help; I'm using the power of the Chaos Emeralds."

"But so is Chaos! How do you plan on stopping him?"

"I don't know...But I'll think of something. I have to." He released her and turned back around, but he was once again stopped by the sound of her voice.

"Wait!" She paused. "Just promise me this time...for real...That you'll come back alive."

He laughed slightly. "Of course. I promise." He jumped high into the air and off of the street, running along the water and scaling up to the throne where Chaos awaited him.

As he arrived to the top, Sonic witnessed Chaos sitting rather impatiently in his throne. He smurked at his enemy. "What, no hero's greeting? How boring."

Chaos' face lit with an evil grin, and he slowly rose from his seat. "Marvelous! Simply marvelous!"

"What? What is?"

"You, Sonic! Oh, how I've longed for such a sensation...the thrill to destroy and conquer over all! That is what chaos truly is...the destruction of all things living!"

"That's enough out of you!" He began to power himself up, his aura glowing rapidly and growing bigger.

"Oh-ho! So, do I get your FULL potential this time?" He laughed at the hero as if mocking him.

He smiled back at his enemy, and he readied his battle chips for the upcoming showdown.

"Absolutely."
