Countdown to Chaos


Last time on Sonic X: Ayla's Story

Dr. Eggman sent a strange new robot named Lucky to search for the last Chaos Emerald. Meanwhile, Knuckles decided that the only way to get back home was to convince the others to join up with Dr. Eggman, get all seven Emeralds together, and create Chaos Control. Eggman pretended to agree to the plan and fooled Knuckles and Chris into handing over all of their Chaos Emeralds. Ayla went with them to see if Eggman was plotting anything. Eggman then escaped with Chris and Ayla held hostage.

(Third-person POV)

*Tyler, Izzy, & Jake were on their way to the skatepark*

Izzy: I wonder where Ayla is. We haven't see her for two days now.

Tyler: She's probably on another Emerald hunt with her brother and friends.

Jake: What do you think is gonna happen when they find all of them.

Izzy: They'll probably use em' to get back home to their world.

Jake: I'm gonna miss em' when they leave.

Izzy: Me too.

*Tyler was about to say something, when suddenly a dark shadow fell over them. They looked up & saw the Eggfort 2*

Tyler: It's Dr. Eggs-for-Brains again!

*The ship flew right over them & headed towards the far end of the city*

Izzy: It looks like he's heading for the city dump.

Jake: Why would he want to go there?

Izzy: Probably to get more part for his robots.

*Suddenly, a blue blur went right by them & seemed to be following the ship*

Jake: It's Sonic!

Tyler: Looks like he's following Eggman. Let's go after him.

*Izzy & Jake nodded. All 3 got on their boards & went after Sonic*


(Ayla's POV)

*Chris & I had been strapped to the wall behind Eggman with metal bars & bolts*

Decoe: DR. EGGMAN. SONIC IS FOLLOWING US.

Chris: Sonic, hurry!

Ayla: Help!

Bocoe: HE IS GAINING ON US. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

Dr. Eggman: Who cares about him? Especially when the seventh Chaos Emerald is waiting for me *we soon arrived at the city dump. The robot called "Lucky" was waiting for us* Ah, there's my little good luck charm. I just knew he'd bring back the Chaos Emerald.

Bocoe: I AM SURPRISED HE DID NOT DROP IT.

Decoe: HE SURE IS A CLUTZ ISN'T HE?

Dr. Eggman: Hey, he is a bit clumsy. I better grab that Emerald. *he sent a robotic hand out of the ship* Lucky, come to Daddy!

*Before the hand could pick up Lucky, Sonic came zooming in & destroyed the hand, sending Lucky flying*

Sonic: Sorry Pops, you gotta be faster than that.

Ayla: Sonic!

Dr. Eggman: Why does that heinous hedgehog always have to ruin everything?

Decoe: THAT IS JUST OUR LUCK. BAD.

*Lucky landed on an old mattress*

Dr. Eggman: But - But my - my Emerald!

Sonic: Don't worry, I'll keep it safe and sound for ya.

Chris: Alright!

Ayla: You show em' bro!

Dr. Eggman: Don't even think about it, you little pest! That Chaos Emerald is mine, you hear me?! MINE!

*Lucky handed my brother the Chaos Emerald. I guess he's a good guy after all*

Decoe: HE WOULD NOT DARE.

Bocoe: WE MUST DO SOMETHING, DOCTOR.

*Suddenly, a robot shaped like a rhinoceros beetle came out of the garbage*

Sonic: Too bad. You just missed me. Nice try though, Doc.

Dr. Eggman: Was it your idea to send those robots?

Decoe: I DO NOT GET IDEAS, DOCTOR.

Dr. Eggman: Good boy.

*He patted Decoe on the head*

Bocoe: WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM, DOCTOR?

Soldier:*off-screen* Beetle 1 to Beetle 2, we're in position.

Soldier 2:*off-screen* Hang on, Sonic is in the line of fire.

Soldier 3:*off-screen* Sonic, this is an official Government operation. Please stand aside. I repeat, stand aside. We are launching an attack.

*My eyes widened. Are they crazy!? We're still in here*

Sonic: Attack!? But my friend, Chris, and my sister are trapped inside there!

*They didn't listen to him & kept going*

Soldier 2:*off-screen* We can't waste time. Open fire!

*They launched missiles at the Eggfort 2*

Dr. Eggman: Those fools, how dare they attack me?

Sonic: You gotta listen! My friend, Chris, and sister are -

*They still didn't listen & just launched more missiles, but Eggman managed to put up a shield in time*

Dr. Eggman: My my, that was a close one.

Bocoe: IT IS A GOOD THING WE PUT THE EGG-SHIELD UP IN TIME.

Decoe: NEXT TIME, WE MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY.

Dr. Eggman: Quiet! Don't you mention that traitor again, you hear? Now let me see, how can I get my Chaos Emerald back?

Bocoe: DOCTOR, LOOK AT THIS.

Dr. Eggman: At what?

Bocoe: THIS IS THE INSIDE OF THEIR ROBOT.

Decoe: IT IS JUST LIKE YOURS, DOCTOR.

Dr. Eggman: How dare those underhanded hoodlums steal my ingenious robot designs to use in that revoltingly inferior hunk of junk monstrosity!

Ayla:*in her mind* Like your robots were any better.

Dr. Eggman: I'll show that gang of sneak thieves what happens when they cross Dr. Eggman!

*Hatches opened up all over the ship*

Bocoe: PLEASE DOCTOR, DO NOT BE RASH. LUCKY IS INSIDE THERE.

Dr. Eggman: Don't worry about him. With his dumb luck, he'll come out without a scratch!

Decoe: I WOULD NOT COUNT ON IT.

Dr. Eggman: Fire!

*The ship launched every missile it had the robot beetles*

Sonic: Hey, cool it, Eggman! Somebody might get hurt!

Dr. Eggman: That was the idea! Launch Egg Beam Cannonball! *a huge blue laser beam was shot from the ship & created a giant explosion* Looks like that one did the trick!

Bocoe: ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU ARE GOING TO BLOW UP THE WHOLE PLANET.

Dr. Eggman: It's a distinct possibility, Bocoe. But I'd rather do that than have Sonic get those Emeralds from me!

*Lucky went sailing right past us*

Decoe: THAT VOICE.

Bocoe: IT WAS LUCKY.

Dr. Eggman: Not that backwards bumbling bad luck charm again.

*They looked at the monitor to see that the robot beetles were still in one piece*

Decoe: THE ENEMY AIRCRAFT AND NOT A SINGLE SCRATCH.

Bocoe: THE DOCTOR REALLY KNOWS HOW TO BUILD A GOOD SHIP, UNFORTUNATELY.

Dr. Eggman: I wonder if it's possible to be too much of a genius for your own good . . .

Decoe: I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO -

*Sonic then appeared on the monitor*

Chris: It's Sonic!

Ayla:*sighed in relief* Thank goodness.

Decoe: THAT ANSWERED MY QUESTION.

Dr. Eggman: How could he survive the Egg Beam Cannonball?

Ayla: Looks like you missed.

*Dr. Eggs-for-Brains turned to me with a glare*

Dr. Eggman: I'll have you know the Egg Beam Cannonball is engineered to hit the bullseye every time!

Decoe: BUT SONIC IS A HEDGEHOG, NOT A BULL.

*I snickered at that*

Dr. Eggman: I'll try to forget you said that. There's no time to waste, we have to retrieve our boy Lucky and get back that seventh Chaos Emerald before he does!

Decoe & Bocoe: YES, DOCTOR.

*Justthen, a blast sent Lucky flying past us*

Dr. Eggman: Oh dear, I didn't know Lucky could fly so high.

Bocoe: HOW WILL WE EVER CATCH HIM?

Decoe: WHAT IF HE DROPS THE EMERALD, DOCTOR?

Chris: That Emerald doesn't belong to you anyway!

Ayla: They don't belong to anyone!

Decoe: SPEAK ONLY WHEN SPOKEN TOO!

*My brother used to the robot beetles to get to Lucky"

Bocoe: WOW. THAT WAS QUITE A LEAP.

*He jumped off the last beetle & went high into the air*

Chris: Sonic!

Ayla: You got this!

Decoe: WE ARE IN TROUBLE.

Dr. Eggman: What if he gets that Chaos Emerald away from Lucky?!

Bocoe: THAT WOULD BE VERY UNLUCKY!

*Sonic caught Lucky just before it hit the ocean below. For a second, I swear I could see pink hearts in the robot's eyes*

Dr. Eggman: What is he doing? Why is he flying away!?

*Lucky then flew past us, with Sonic holding on to him*

Ayla:*in her mind* I didn't think that thing could fly.

Bocoe: THERE GOES YOUR LUCKY ROBOT, DOCTOR.

Decoe: HE MAY BE LUCKY, BUT HE IS NOT VERY LOYAL.

Dr. Eggman: BE QUIET! He dares to betray me, does he? I'll show that traitorous tin can not to mess with me!

Bocoe: DOCTOR, ARE THINKING WHAT I THINK YOU ARE THINKING?

Decoe: I THINK THAT IS WHAT HE IS THINKING.

Dr. Eggman: Good thinking. For the first time, I, the great Dr. Eggman, will transform the Egg Fort 2 into the greatest robot ever created. I was saving it for a special occasion, but why put it off any longer? After all, I'm feeling lucky! Get ready! Begin Egg Fort 2 transformation! Merge mode number 1! Merge mode number 2! Merge mode number 3! *the ship then transformed into a humanoid robot* Say hello to my ultimate robot creation, the Eggsterminator!

*The robot landed in the harbor below, creating a huge wave*

Sonic: My my, bet you think you're pretty impressive, don't ya? You may be big and strong, but I bet you don't move as fast as I do. *he ran circles around the robot* Come on, Eggman! What are ya waiting for?

Dr. Eggman: Okay, he certainly is impatient, isn't he? But I say why rush into things.

*A part of the robot in front of us came up*

Chris: The six Chaos Emeralds!

Ayla: What are you going to do with them!?

Dr. Eggman: Don't worry, I'm keeping them safe and sound for future use. In the meantime, I'll transfer a bit of energy from each Emerald into the Eggsterminator, so it can grow stronger. *one by one, the Emeralds went into the robot* Guess the Eggsterminator's got 'em on the run! Eh kids?

Ayla:*in her mind* He's using the Emeralds to make his robots stronger. I can't break free and Eggman took my board, what can I do? *I looked at Chris. he had a guilty look on his face* Poor kid.

Chris: I'm sorry!

*Sonic jumped towards the robot, but it zoomed behind him & punched him into 3 buildings*

Ayla & Chris: Sonic!

Dr. Eggman: That thing packs quite a punch.

Sonic: Yeah, he's got a good right hook.

Dr. Eggman: He'd better surrender. With six Chaos Emeralds to power him, my boy is unbeatable!

Ayla: He'll never surrender and neither will I!

Chris: Please Dr. Eggman, let Sonic go free!

Dr. Eggman: I'm afraid I can't do that just yet so sorry! Ah!

*The robot threw another punch at Sonic. The X Tornado then flew towards us & the beetles soon followed. The robot then destroyed all the beetles one by one. Luckily, the soldiers made it out okay*

Bocoe: WOW. HE REALLY IS POWERFUL, ISN'T HE?

Decoe: GOOD THING HE IS ON OUR SIDE.

Dr. Eggman: Even I'm impressed.

Sonic: Eggman! *he came towards the robot, limping* Listen up! I'm coming for Chris and my sister! And you better not try to stop me!

*He fell to his knees*

Ayla: Sonic . . .

Bocoe: HOW COULD SONIC SURVIVE A POUNDING LIKE THAT?

Decoe: I DON'T GET IT. HE OUGHT TO BE EGGTERMINATED BY NOW.

Dr. Eggman: So he should. He's much more resilient than I thought!

Sonic: I'm Chris, Ayla!

Dr. Eggman: He sure are a glutton for punishment! *suddenly, the Chaos Emeralds started glowing really bright & the robot started going bonkers* What's going on? Eggsterminator, quit wasting power, will you? We must converse between battle!

*But it didn't obey him & just kept going crazy. Chris was trying really hard to break free. It then picked up Sonic, who had been knocked unconscious*

Ayla & Chris: SONIC! SONIC!

Dr. Eggman: Alright Eggsterminator, enough fooling around! Drop him already!

Decoe: GOOD IDEA.

*It dropped him & then kicked him far out to sea*

Ayla & Chris: NOOOOOOO!

*Suddenly, in a burst of strength, we both broke free from our restraints*

Dr. Eggman: Why you - *Chris made a grab for the Chaos Emeralds* My Emeralds!

*Chris grabbed all the Emeralds & was sent flying into the glass window & I stood in front of Eggman, my Ring Blades out*

Ayla: This time you've gone too far!

Chris: They're mine . . . Mine . . . I won't . . . I won't let you take them away from me . . . Ever again . . . *he held them close to his chest as they started to smoke* Ever.

Dr. Eggman: That mealy-mouthed little crybaby shouldn't be so reckless. After all, those Emeralds are powering the Eggsterminator, and without them, this thing would be sent plummeting into the sea!

Decoe: IT IS INTERESTING, DOCTOR.

Dr. Eggman: As a matter of fact, we should be plummeting any moment now.

Decoe: I AM SORRY, DOCTOR. BUT DID YOU JUST SAY, PLUMMETING!?

Dr. Eggman: DON'T JUST STAND THERE!

Decoe: YES, DOCTOR!

*I then took a step forward & all 3 of them flinched*

Ayla: You won't have time to do anything when I'm done with the three of you!

*Just then, Knuckles came crashing through the window*

Knuckles: Ayla! Your hurt! What happened!?

Ayla: This is nothing. Right now, we've got bigger problems.

Knuckles: Right. *to Eggman* Where is Chris!? I'm taking him and Ayla with me!

Dr. Eggman: Well if it isn't our good friend Knuckles. How nice of you to drop in for a visit!

*Knuckles stomped his foot*

Decoe: I THINK HE'S UPSET.

Knuckles: They're coming with me, and that's that. I said, where is he? What did you do with him?

Dr. Eggman: Uh . . . Funny story. *suddenly, the Eggsterminater moved & grabbed something. I turned around & saw it was Chris & Rouge, but the Chaos Emeralds where no where in sight* The Eggsterminator is malfunctioning, all because of that thieving brat!

Decoe: THAT'S RIGHT.

Knuckles: Where's Chris!?

*The robot tightened it's fist. Suddenly, a bright light appeared from the ocean below & I felt a lot of power surging through me. My quills turned yellow, my hair fell loose from it's ponytail, my eyes turned red, & I floated in the air. Just then, the fist holding Chris & Rouge broke into a million pieces*

Decoe: DOCTOR, SOMETHING IS HAPPENING! THE EGGSTERMINATER IS LOOSING IT'S GRIP

Bocoe: THIS IS NOT GOOD. WHAT DO WE DO NOW, DOCTOR?

Dr. Eggman: We do nothing. Right at this very moment, those seven Chaos Emeralds are mingling together way down in the bottom of the sea. The great moment has finally come.

Decoe: ARE YOU SAYING WHAT I THINK YOU ARE SAYING?

Bocoe: YES, I THINK THAT IS WHAT HE IS SAYING.

Dr. Eggman: Let Chaos Control begin!

*I flew outside & floated next to my brother*

Sonic: Ready to rock, sis?

Ayla: Ready to roll, bro.

*The Eggsterminater threw a punch at us, but we both blocked it with one hand*

Sonic: Well Knuckles, your wish came true.

Ayla: So, be patient for just a little longer.

Sonic: Eggman . . . Take this!

*We both charged at the Eggsterminater & together we sliced it up until it exploded. A white light suddenly filled the whole area. It was the same light that brought to this world*


(Third-person POV)

Izzy: What's that light?

Tyler: I think it's the Chaos Control Ayla told us about. It must mean that she's going home.

Jake: But it can't be! We didn't even get to say goodbye!


(Ayla's POV)

*Me & Sonic were now with Chris in a space of white*

Sonic: Can you hear me, pal?

Ayla: Chris, are you alright?

*He opened his eyes*

Sonic: We're finally going home . . . thanks to you, Chris.

Ayla: We'll miss you.

Chris: Sonic . . . Ayla . . . Take me with you, please. I don't wanna stay here. Not without you. *together we sent out a green light & healed him. he then hugged us & we hugged him* Sonic . . . Ayla . . .

Sonic: It's gonna be okay. I promise.

Ayla: We'll always be with you.

Chris: Sonic . . . Ayla . . . Please don't leave. You're the best friends I ever had. I don't want you to go away! I'll miss you so much! Please don't go! Please!


(Third-person POV)

*Both Sonic & Ayla disappeared from his grip. He stayed in that spot & cried*

Chris: YOU CAN'T GOOOOO! *suddenly, in another flash of light, a floating island appeared over the sea. The X Tornado flew past it. Dr. Eggman & his lackeys were also on the island where he found a strange stone tablet. Chris had also ended up on the island. Sonic & Ayla appeared in front of him* Sonic! Ayla!

Sonic: Hey! Long time no see!

Ayla: Hi there.


(Ayla's POV)

Ayla:*in her mind* Looks like our adventures in this world aren't over yet.
