Part six
WHAT THE F#%$ IS GOING ON HERE?! Marble said a little louder then was neccicary. I dont really know man. Im just as confused. Max replyed. I think I might know whats going on here... I think that Robosonic has gone... well... mad,
What else is new? The others replyed No no no you dont understand. I think that when Robosonic blew out his overlord chip he, kinda started to malfunction. He thinks that killing us is some kind of game. A tournament if you will. He wants us to play in his little game. He knew we were comming and set this whole thing up.
I WILL NOT BE A PAWN IN HIS CHESSMATCH! Max yelled
I'm afraid we dont have much choice, I said feeling just as fustrated as Max.
What if we just kick Roboknuckle's and Robosonic's collectve butts! Marbe yelled indignantly
Its not going to be that easy. When we fought the Ragebot... the armor was made of somthing i couldnt identify. Well I ran it through the computer and it seems to be... a plymonium steel composite. Max said as he looked at a completly lost Marble
What Max is trying to say is that Robosonic or Robotnick managed to make a metal almost as good as plymonium steel! And the odds are Roboknuckles has the Dark Inferno as well.
What I dont get is how Roboknuckles managed to throw me back! I fellt this aura around him that seemed... familiar.
Oh no... I said figuring out what happened.
Max questioned.
Its the Chaos Emeralds! ROBOSONIC GOT HIS HANDS ON THE CHAOS EMERALDS! You remember when Sonic and Knuckles fought Silversonic2?! Sonic and Knuckles the game It could use the power from the Master Emerald. THATS WHY AMY... I died down. Marble didnt know his mom was put incharge of the master emeald. I knew Robosonic must have killed her in cold blooded murder. This wasnt somthing i wanted Marble to know just yet. He had enough on his plate.
What. What about my mom? Marble asked jerking out of his stupor.
I said not truly beleving the truth myself.
Well now we know how all the pices fit together. I'll bet that all that memory storage was made for Knuckles. So he could remember the secrets about the emeralds!
I... dont believe it I said letting the truth wash over me like the Angel Isand Waterfall.
Well now that we know whats going on here we'd better prepair for whats comming. Marble said with more forsight then i gave him credit for. There was a general murmur of agreement from the rest of us as we began to prep for whatever challenges were to come. I pulled somthing out of my sachel that i carryed with me. It was that powercell you gave me. I loaded it into the Gradis Cannon and reved it up. The i soon realized was a superpowerd cell. The cannon was now at its peak. I pressed the multicolor buttons in the precise order and told the cannon to go to prepair to fire at maximum fire. The voice recognition wizzed for a second and then replyed Confirmed: User Miles Perhour.
If this thing doesnt go through him nothing will! I said with a comic evil grin on my face.
The question is, can you fire it with that arm? Max said looking at my damaged arm. I had bandaged it up with an old shirt i had in my bag. It was now a bloody Tropical Flowerprint instead of my normaly yellow fur. I think I can hold my own I said rubbing my arm.
Max at the time had his sword out and was checking the edges for nicks. I was totaly unsuprised when he announced that it was in perfect condition. Marble was working on his spindash quote final flash attack, I knew he wished more then anything to be able to preform that one attack. I thought then that without the emeralds he was dreaming. Just then Max stood up. He pulled the Linear Edge up to his chest. He pointed it forward with the hilt right next to his armpit. He stood there in his stance, perfectly still. Thats when I knew why Knuckles had said he should be the next gurdian of the emeralds. The edges of the sword started to turn pink. Then red. The edges of the sword were literaly on fire. Then I saw a symbol start to get red near the middle of the sword. It shined out. An anchent rune that the anchent echidnas used that ment I knew this because i remebered those anchent rune classes you always used to make me take. Smoke started to eminate from the sword as it reached its limit. Then, like in slow motion, Max rased it over his head and when he came to the downslash. Its hard to describe. The sword and max instantly moved like lightning. A red line was traced in the air where the sword had been. Then, on the wall, an incision opened up large enough that i could shove marble in there all the way. We both gawked at the swor... no Max's power. It was insane. The edge of the sword must have been 6 feet from the wall and yet. Max walked up to the wall. I'm out of practice, he said.
We spent the rest of the halfhour practicing. I tweaked up my cannon and reviewed my self defence. We were nothing compared to Max though. He was using a teqneke i had never seen before. Then our half hour was up. It felt like 6 minits. Right befoe we left i spoke to max You know. Are you going to be able to fight your own brother?
was all that he said. He had the look of a man who just found the person who had destroyed evrything he loved. Marble's expression was that of a scared child. And i cant remeber what i felt during those last seconds. But i do remember thinking This is it. This is the big battle yove been wating for all your life. I noticed that when you get scared you start thinking in 3rd person. Oh well.
The light of the central dome was as bright as ever. Though now our eyes had adjusted. We saw huge stands of robots of all kinds looking like they were having a good tme. In the center of the arena was... Roboknuckles. He looked like a bad take on that human movie a good third of him was still biological including half of his face and the upper right part of his chest. The rest of him must have been completly blown away. It was just mettal and cables. Even I could feel the chaos power comming from him. BOTS! ROBOS! AND GADGETS OF ALL AGES! Robosonic yelled. MAY I INTRODUCE THE FIGHT OF THE BEST THAT MOBIANS HAVE TO OFFER VS. THE BEST THAT WE HAVE TO OFFER! STARTING WITH THE ROBOTEAM! IT IS I ROBOSONIC! (cheers) AND ROBOKNUCKLES! THE NEWEST ADDTION TO MY PARTY! AND THE OPPOSING TEAM! MILES PROWER, SONICS FORMER SIDEKICK! FACEN HEDGEHOG, THE ONE SON OF MY COUNTERPART! AND FINNALY MAXIMULAN ECHIDNA! THE BROTHER OF MY GREATEST CREATION EVER! The cheers were enough to bring down the dome. Then quite suddenly the nose stopped. the lights dimmed to a normal level. And the fight began.
