*Sigh* Don't make me repeat myself...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It had taken awhile for the whole entire family to gather at
the site where, mere minutes ago, Sonic, Shadow, and Tenchi took on
Achika herself! Waiting for them were the four fighters (Achika's evil
side now contained), Washu, Ryoko, Ayeka and, of all people, Metal
Sonic.

"Alright, Metalhead. Spill the beans. Explain what Eggman's
plan had to do with Achika!" Sonic said.

[Very well. This plan of my ex-master's was called Project:
Open Wounds.] Metal said.

"'Open Wounds'?" Kiyone said. "Why that name?"

[Because of what it did. It brought back people from the dead.]
Metal said. [In a odd type of way.]

"How weird?" Sasami asked.

[He cloned them.] Metal said. Everyone gasped, except for
Sonic and Washu.

"You mean....my mom's a clone?" Tenchi said. Metal nodded.

"Then...why don't I know of that?" Achika asked.

[Dr. Robotnik made sure your origins were never reveiled.]
Metal said. [If one knew it, then they would rebel, and he didn't want
that.]

"That must explain the reason why one would go evil, doesn't
it?" Shadow asked. Metal nodded.

[That was the fail-safe when one is in fear of questioning
their existance.] Metal said.

"Who else has Robotnik cloned?" Sasami asked.

[The list is endless.] Metal said. Everyone's eyes went wide.

"You're kidding me!" Tails said. Metal shook his head.

"That's all fine and dandy, but what's the deal with Achika?!"
Sonic said.

[*sigh* It's because of what happened about two months ago.]
Metal said. [And it's all Sonic's fault!]

"Wha?!" Ayeka said, in surprise. "How?!"

[During the battle with Metal Ryoko, he threw a device at her.
She deflected it and damaged it.] Metal said.

"So?" Sonic said.

[That device was what held the monster Kain in subspace!]
Metal said. The Masaki family's jaws dropped, except for Achika's.

"You're lying! Kain's gone!" Ryoko said.

[I wish I was...]Metal said. [Only a small bit of Kain was
released and it found its way to me. He commanded me to return to
Eggman, who, in turn, restored Kain almost to his former glory. He
had to use bits from a creature known as Kirby to fully restore him.]

"One question still lingers within me: Why are you helping us?"
Shadow asked.

[I'm not the Metal you knew.] he replied. [You see, having Kain
within me released memories of a time long forgotten. Of battles
forgotten. I was one of many who helped in a battle against a race of
cockroach-like creatures called Corshans and their creations: humanoid
androids called Rotans.]

"I think Metal has a few screws loose." Tails whispered to
Washu.

"Do you have any proof of this?" Washu said. Metal shook his
head.

[I'm pretty sure any proof of this was destroyed by the wish
to erase the memories of the battles.] Metal said. [All I know is the
identity of one of the few people who knew of this battle: Melfina.]

"Melfina? As in the Outlaw Star navigator?!" Ryoko said. "HA!
Good one!" As everyone got a good set of laughs at this, Shadow began
to double over in pain.

"ARRGH! The....pain." Shadow said, falling to his knees.

"Shadow! What's up?" Sonic asked as he approached his friend.

"Chaos Energies....heading towards us....." Shadow said
".....I sense....four sources. Three of them organic...."

"What is he talking about?" Mihoshi asked.

[No....he's coming!] Metal said, his scanners going off.

"Who is, Metal Sonic?" Tenchi asked

[KAIN! HE'S COMING!] Metal said.

"NO WAY!" Ryoko said. Everyone began searching the skies for
the creature. It was Sasami who spotted him.

"Is...is...is that him?!" she said, scared out of her life.

"It is him!" Tenchi said, as the ball of energy landed in front
of them and materialised into the creature they feared.

"That's Kain?!" Sonic said, walking up to him. "Looks like a
mime that met a steamroller!"

"You are Sonic the Hedgehog, are you not?" Kain said, looking
down at the hedgehog.

"No! My name's Mario Mario!" Sonic said, sarcastically.

"Then, where is he?!" Kain said. Sonic facefaulted.

"I'M SONIC! IT WAS A WISECRACK!" Sonic yelled. Kain grinned and
swatted Sonic away.

"Next." Kain said. Ryoko stepped forward.

"Last time we met, you were stronger than me," Ryoko said.
"Now let's see how powerful you are compared to me...WITH ALL THREE
GEMS!" She charged up a mighty plasma blast and launched it at him,
sending him into a grove of trees.

"I let you hit me." Kain said, as he rose up. "Now feel my
power!" He held up his right hand. "Big Bang Attack." With a grin and
little work, he release one of Vegeta's signature moves at Ryoko. If
it wasn't for her shield, Ryoko would have been dusted. Luckly, she
was only thrown back a few yards and into the house. "Heheheheheheh.
All of you are fools! Don't you think that you would have a chance to
win? That woman won last time because of that sword!"

"Oh, shut up!" Shadow said, releasing a hail of Chaos Energy
spears into Kain.

"GRRRARRRGH! Who are you?!" Kain said.

"I am Shadow the Hedgehog. I am the ultimate lifeform." he
said, his voice filled with confidance. "Now I see why Tsunami chose
me. To stop you."

"Tsunami? The Juraian Goddess?!" Kain said, in surprise. "After
I destroy you, I'll destroy all but that purple-haired brat and have
her reveil the secret of Jurai power!"

"Let's see you try, you monster!" Shadow said.

"But first, let's say goodbye to the hope of the future!" Kain
said.

"Huh?" Shadow said, in surprise. Kain grinned and raised his
hand toward Tails and Sasami. A force of ki energy swept everyone away
from the two.

"What's he doing?" Mihoshi asked, beginning to freak out.

"'Get rid of the hope of the....' Oh, god...WE HAFTA STOP HIM!"
Sonic shouted as he stood up. He tried to move to the kids, but the ki
energy shield was too powerful. "No....TAILS! SASAMI! GET OUT OF
THERE!" They tried, but the shield prevented them from escaping.

"Too late." Kain said. "Kame..."

"KAIN, DON'T!" Achika shouted

"...hame..."

"KAIN! PLEASE DON'T!" Ayeka shouted, tears forming in her eyes.

"....HA!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sonic and Tenchi shouted at the same
time. They watched in horror as he launched the famed "Turtle Wave
Attack" at the two. The blast flew from his hand and collided with them
creating a massive explosion. All was left of where the two were was
a massive hole in the ground. Kain dropped the shield. Sonic and
Shadow were the first to the hole. Sonic slid down to the bottom and
investigated. All he saw was a scrap of cloth from Sasami's kimono.

"No....please, no...." Sonic said, tears forming in his eyes.

"Please, tell me they're alive...."Ayeka said as she approaced
Shadow. All he could do was wrap his arms around Ayeka's waist and
began crying. Ayeka dropped down to her knees, wrapped her arms around
Shadow as he now placed his arms around her neck and began sobbing.
"It can't be true....no, please, it can't be true...." Everyone began
crying as well. Metal just turned his head.

"Oh, cry me a river, babies!" Kain said. "Don't worry, you'll
join them soon enough."

"Kain....you have made your first, last, and FATAL MISTAKE!"
Sonic shouted. His anger began rising. His eyes began turning blood
red. His left and right bottom and middle quills began pointing up.
This began to catch their attention.

"Wha....what's going on..." Ryoko said, looking down at the
hole. Washu wiped her eyes clean and activated her holo-puter. What
she saw after a few seconds was incredible.

"This...this is impossible!" Washu said. "He's going Super...
without the use of the Chaos Emeralds!"

"And this is bad because...." Ryoko asked.

"Without the Chaos Emeralds to CONTROL how much power he uses,
he's virtually a walking time bomb!" Washu said.

"WRONG!" Sonic said. "I know how to control them! WATCH ME!"
With that, a giant beam of golden energy shot up into the heavens,
blinding everyone around. When the glow subsided, they saw Super Sonic
hovering in the air. He had indeed knew how to control the Chaos
Energies. He hovered over the group and landed in front of Kain. "You
are an evil monster, Kain. Taking the lives of innocents! I'll stop
you, no matter what!"

"As will I." Tenchi said, clutching Tenchi-ken in his hand.
"Sasami and Tails were like brother and sister. They were family." He
activated the blade. "You mess with my family, you mess with me!"
One by one, the others joined Sonic and Tenchi, each vowing to stop
Kain once and for all.

"Very well. I'll destroy you all! You shall feel my power!"
Kain shouted.

"Feel THIS!" Super Sonic shouted, ramming into Kain at top
speed. The two went flying into the forest. Sonic stopped, allowing
Kain to fly farther into the forest. "Is that all you got?"

"Hah! Barely!" Kain said, recovering. "I've yet to begin to
fight!" With that, Kain began a strange transformation. His pinky and
ring fingers fused into one finger as did his middle and index fingers.
He began forming legs and two claw-like toes. Super Sonic reconised
the form he was taking.

"Chaos! Did he absorb him?!" he said. His shock enabled Kain
to get the upper hand. He stretched his arm out at Sonic, his hand
balled up into a fist. The sheer power of Kain knocked Super Sonic
for a loop.

"Next." Kain said, advancing to the group. Ryoko and Shadow
came up.

"Let's double team 'em!" Ryoko said, grinning. Shadow nodded.
The two ran to Kain as fast as they could and swung their fists at him,
only to get nothing but air.

"Blast it! Where did he go?" Shadow asked. That was answered
when two blasts of ki energy came flying at them, connected dead on.
The impact sent them flying into the crater.

"And those were the ones to show me they were the toughest."
Kain said, snickering. "Time to show them who's the toughest!" Kain
held out his hands, electricity flowing. "FEEL MY WRATH!" With that,
he released the electricity, shocking everyone, including the
recovering Super Sonic.

"AAAGH! STOP IT!" Tenchi shouted.

"It hurts!" Mihoshi shouted.

"Heheheheheh. Now to destroy you all!" Kain said. Still
electrocuting the group, he began gathering ki. "Now you'll know how
I felt when you destroyed me in subspace!" In mere seconds, he had
gathered enough to launch the intended attack. "Now, you DIE! FINAL
FLASH!" With that, he launched the massive attack at them, stopping the
electrocution in the process.

Big mistake.

Allowing the shocking to cease enabled Ayeka to put up a
last minute barrier, blocking the attack. When the smoke subsided,
Kain saw everyone in their battle outfits (Shadow had went Super
in panic and Washu removed any barriers blocking Achika's full use
of her Juraian powers, allowing her to access her battle outfit.)
"You survived?! Impossible!"

"You made the biggest mistake of allowing the shocking to end,
blackie!" Shadow said.

"Now, you'll pay for the deaths of Tails and Sasami...IN
SPADES!" Ayeka said.

"A real chalange. I like that!" Kain said. "Let's see what
you're made of!"

"No problem, Kain." Sonic said.

TO BE CONTINUED...

In the next installment....

S. Sonic: YOU MONSTER! I'LL DESTROY YOU!
Tenchi: That monster killed Tails and Sasami. Now its payback time!
Knuckles: Leave some of that monster for us, too!
Vegeta: Yeah, it wouldn't be nice!
Tenchi: Don't worry, everyone'll get a chance next time in "Payback"
S. Sonic: It's defenantly just that!

AUTHOR'S NOTES:
---------------

::Walks out wearing armor resembling Gundam Deathscythe Hell::
Now before you all kill ME for killing Sasami and Tails, just think
for a second: In the two COOL Tenchi-verses, the main characters always
came back from dying or being dead, so don't worry. Now, I have a favor
to ask you.

For the final part of the story, I need someone to pay the
ultimate price to put Kain back into subspace and keep him there. But,
who? The only people who can be classified to do this is Metal Sonic
and Achika. What I'm asking is that in your review say if you want
Achika to go in or Metal Sonic. The one with the most votes will pay
the price. I already got a vote for Metal by a friend who read this
already, so it's Achika:0 Metal Sonic:1

One final note, because of trouble with how to do the
Knuckles/Ryoko story, "Sonic Muyo Adventures" will be shortened to
three chapters. Sorry.

As always, Live and Learn....wait, that's not right. I meant read and
review! (That's what I get for listening to the SA2 Theme Song)
