Chapter 39: "The Final Showdown"

Day 9
Station Square
3:45 P.M.

	Super Sonic looked at Tikal. "What do you MEAN 'take it to the 
next level'?"
	"Sonic, you essentially ARE a Chaos Emerald. Use that power to 
up the powers you already have," Tikal nodded.
	"Right," Sonic nodded and started to close his eyes.
	Chaos knocked Sonic off the rooftop. "Not so fast! You are mine 
now!"
	"SONIC SPIN!" a voice cried out. A blue blur snun through Chaos' 
watery skin and into the brain. The blur bounced out and landed on 
the roof. There, stood...Sonic?
	"But...that's impossible," Sonic whispered.
	"YOU?! But HOW?!" Chaos roared.
	"FAIRY DUST!!!" a purple fairy cried, powdering Chaos with golden 
flakes. The dust exploded on contact with Chaos. She roared out.
	"What IS all this?!" she cried.
	"SPIRAL SPLASH!" a penguin yelled, darting though the water, up 
Chaos' body and hitting the brain. The blue hedgehog landed by Sonic's 
side. "Sorry we're late!"
	"Who ARE you people?" Sonic gasped.
	The hedgehog laughed. "Are you kidding?! It's me, Chaima!!!"
	"Chaima?! But he was a lil guy...! I least I thought he was..." 
Sonic stared.
	"We ultimized! Became the next level. And we came back to stop 
Chaos. We'll buy you time to change," Chaima said.
	Sonic looked up and saw a black hedgehog riding on the back of a 
red dragon. They waved.
	Sonic also saw a golden beetle and a silver female jester flying 
over the air, also waving. Sonic looked at Chaima. "Right!"
	"SONIC!" Bane called from above. He tossed him a sword. The 
Crystal Sword. "I believe this is yours!"
	"Thanks, Bane!" Sonic yelled and held the sword in his hand, 
concentrating. He started to close his eyes and began to glow.
	As he glew brighter, his fur became a cobalt blue again, but he 
started to look different. The wings of an angel, a cape with armour. 
With his sword held up high, he became the vision of the ancient 
prince of the past he once was.
	He soared before Chaos, telling the other chao to back away. He 
needed to talk to Chaos himself.

Speed Highway
4:03 P.M.

	Chaos saw the angel before him.
	"Could it be? But it's impossible.....you.....died!"
	"I am alive again. I didn't remember anything. But thanks to 
Tikal and Chaima, I remember everything. Please, this has to stop..."
	"But the warriors-"
	"The warriors are extinct. Whatever Robotnik has told you is all 
a lie. Lies passed on from Kalita. Shalita.....I have come to save 
you."
	The feelings of anger and hatred suddenly died away, and she 
rested her head on a cement slab of highway. Sonic landed before her, 
falling to his knees.
	Her eyes, once filled with hate, softened into sadness as she 
looked down at him. "I should of listened..."
	Sonic patted her snout. "I know. It's okay...."
	"What do I do now?" she asked, almost whimpering.
	Sonic bowed his head for a moment. "I'm going to heal you."
	"But...you might drown!" she whispered.
	"It's a chance I'm willing to take," Sonic said.
	She raised her head. "Okay.....I'm ready..."
	Sonic stood up and apprached her, entering the water body and 
swimming up to the brain. There, he grabbed it and started to pour his 
energy into her.

	Sonic traveled through a mist. He was still as he was as the 
ancient Prince Sonikku, but he was looking for someone. There he 
found Chaos 0.
	"Shalita," he whispered.
	"Sonikku," she called, reaching out with her hand.
	Sonic took it, and her hand changed from the watery claw to a 
flesh white hand...

	The same hand brushed Sonic's pale cheek as Shalita...the REAL 
Shalita, held his lifeless body in her arms. The royal family knelt 
around him, grieving for him, along with Bane, Tails, Knux and Amy.
	The chao approached them.
	"Shalita. We can heal Sonic if you let us," Chaima said.
	Shalita looked up to the chao and nodded. It was their last shot.
