Chapter 29
I might have to split this chapter in two 'cause I think it's gonna take me a while
for me to publish this if I keep this as one. Thanks for understanding.
Just then, Dr. Eggman appeared from the smoke, driving in his Egg Mobile. He
coughed a few times, but then growled with frustration.
"How could I lose?!" he said to himself. "This isn't over! I'll build
an Egg Dragoon Prototype-2 and it—" He suddenly heard a noise and turned his head.
There, he saw something slowly spawn from the lava.
It was a huge, black and blue, ugly monster about fifty feet tall.
The four heroes were flabbergasted at the sight of it.
Salley gasped. "That's the creature that separated me and Bone!"
"What?" asked Sonic.
"It's Dark Gaia!" said Chip.
As the monster lifted up its head, Dr. Eggman shouted out, "Yes! YES!! Dark
Gaia, crush these insolent little animals! Kick their asses to the outer limits of
space!" Just then, he saw a flash of purple light, which came from one of Dark
Gaia's tentacles. After it knocked away the evil doctor from the hot, fiery core,
he screamed, "Why me?!"
Dark Gaia turned its attention back to the others and aimed its tentacles at
them.
Just before the monster lunged it at the four heroes, Salley and Bone flew
away while Sonic grabbed Chip and jumped over to another rock, which was further away
from Dark Gaia.
However, once the four friends gazed up at the monster, a flash from its eyes
made Sonic feel weak and fall on his knees.
The werehog felt a sudden urge of pain inside his body that it made him
tremble.
The others noticed this and looked shocked.
"Sonic, what's wrong?!" asked Chip.
The werehog didn't reply. He just groaned as he dug his claws into the rock.
Salley began to feel worried. "Sonic?" Just as she was about to put her
hand on his shoulder, Bone pulled it back.
"Don't touch him!" he said.
Suddenly, as Sonic screamed in agony, he forcefully stuck his chest out and
large amounts of black aura were coming out of it.
The others saw that it was being suck away by Dark Gaia. There, the creature
began to grow three green eyes across its head.
"Bone, what just happened?" asked Salley in fear.
"It appears that Dark Gaia's absorbed the dark energy that Sonic possessed
inside his body," Bone replied.
Salley's eyes widened. "Then, that means…" She turned around to see
Sonic back in his normal state, kneeling with exhaustion.
"Sonic, you've got to get up!" said Chip as he tugged on his arm, trying to
get him to move. "Sonic!"
Sonic panted. "I…c-can't…move." He then collapsed to the ground.
Bone looked at him and then back at the colossal creature, filled with
anxiety. "It's no use. Dark Gaia's grown too powerful now. We can't stop it."
Salley gasped when she heard that.
Chip, however, changed his expression from fear to anger. "Yes, we can!"
The two vampires turned to him in surprise.
"Chip, do you realize what you're saying?" asked Salley.
Chip clenched his fist real tight. "It may seem crazy…" He turned towards
the others. "…but I have a plan to prove myself right."
Suddenly, they heard Dark Gaia roar again and began reaching its tentacles out
for the four heroes.
Bone defended Salley by embracing her.
Just then, a green, spherical shield formed around Chip and blocked the
attack.
The two vampires looked up and saw him, feeling astonished.
As Chip levitated in the air, he started this chant, "Seven lights of the
earth, rekindled…awaken, and gather here to me!" He then released the energy from
his shield throughout the entire world.
Meanwhile, inside each of the Gaia Temples, the Chaos Emeralds began to react
to Chip's power and glowed a bright, but rapid light. As it surrounded the temples,
they rose from the ground and started floating in the air.
Everyone all over the world was amazed by the sight of the temples.
Then, after a few seconds, they disappeared in a flash and warped over to the
volcanic core.
There, they all began to emerge into a colossal, personified structure with
Chip inside the head.
Just then, Sonic slowly stood up and looked around him, realizing that he was
on the shoulder of the temple-made colossus.
"Don't worry, friends," said Chip's voice inside the giant. "Just leave
Dark Gaia to me and then I'll give you the signal to when you guys can finish it
off."
Sonic smiled. "Okay!"
Salley and Bone nodded in agreement.
So then, the Gaia Colossus and Dark Gaia stood face to face with each other.
A couple seconds after that, the monster made the first attack by swinging
its clawed hands at the wooden giant.
However, the Gaia Colossus dodged them by moving left and right. Then, it
threw a punch at the creature's stomach. The giant tried it again after it dodged
the monster's attacks about four to five more times.
The last time, before Dark Gaia was about to lunge at the Gaia Colossus from
the front, the wooden giant used both of its hands to punch out the monster's torso.
Suddenly, Dark Gaia grew weak, but also very angry, so it grabbed the temple-
made colossus's head, as if it were trying to bite it off.
However, the Gaia Colossus tried its best to push it back, though the creature
wouldn't let go.
"Now!" Chip's voice screamed.
"Roger that, buddy!" said Sonic.
There, he, Salley, and Bone went to three separate paths of the wooden titan.
"Time for the big finale!" said Sonic as he ran to his post.
They each took turns in attacking Dark Gaia.
Salley started to run across the ancient zone. There, she used her vampire
speed to slip passed some purple animate auras that were trying to attack her. Then,
she jumped off a very steep ledge, flew over to Dark Gaia's right eye, and struck it
with her Black Aura Sphere. After that, she flew back to the temple golem and
summoned Bone next.
The wolf sprinted across his side of the field and jumped up to avoid the
attacking purple auras and barricades along the way. Then, after he reached the
ledge, he flew over to Dark Gaia's left eye and plunged it with his Purple Lightning
attack. Afterwards, he went back to the Gaia Colossus and told Sonic it was time to
end the battle.
Finally, when it was the hedgehog's turn, he ran through a pillared tunnel
and then avoided the purple obstacles.
There, he had reached his ledge and flew high enough to create a spin-dash on
the last eye. He flew backwards towards the temple and then landed on his feet.
The three heroes watched the hideous beast suffer.
I'm gonna leave it off to here for now. The final battle will be here next time. I
need to go and watch Vampire Diaries now. R&R, please!
