Disclaimer: My own characters are multiplying! I own Metal Sonic 2 (I call him Metal for short), Garion, Rolm, and Zeon. I do not own the others.

Onwards!

~~~~~ROLM

I held the purple chaos emerald in my hand and stared at it. Would we be able to pull this off? How much of a chance did we have against Zeon?

'But it doesn't matter,' I thought to myself. 'We must at least try, for the sake of the world.'

"I see an opening!" Tails shouted, breaking my train of thought. I looked ahead of us to see a black hole in the sky above where Angel Island used to be.

"Let's try to work together. Then we might actually stand a chance," Garion said.

"Here we go!" Tails yelled as he fired the boosters.

Inside of the hole, everything was black. A dull-purplish glow surrounded us, providing us with a little light, but for the most part we couldn't see anything. We walked forward for about a minute.

"Ah. Back for more?" A voice said from ahead of us.

"Zeon! You're going down!" Sonic shouted.

"I'll never give up!" Tails added.

"For the sake of the world..." Garion stated.

"I'll kill you for controlling me!" I yelled.

"Hand over the Master Emerald!" Knuckles demanded.

"For my friends, who you have caused harm!" Metal finished as he began to hover with energy.

"BWHAHAHAHAHA! You fools are pathetic! I will crush you like the insects that you are!" Zeon boomed.

"Bring it on!" Sonic taunted.

"You can't be serious! You are challenging me? Why, I'll..." Suddenly he noticed something slip on his waist.

~~~~~KNUCKLES

A few seconds earlier...

I began to sneak slowly around to the back of Zeon while he was talking. Sonic provided me with the necessary time as I snapped the belt onto my enemy. He suddenly stopped talking and turned around to face me.

"You pesky brat! You will die for that!" he shouted.

"I'm not done with you yet!" Sonic yelled as he fired a bunch of ice missiles at Zeon's back. The missiles suddenly melted in the air as a fiery shield appeared on Zeon's back.

"So, you want to die first?" Zeon taunted as he turned around again to face Sonic.

"It's my turn now," Tails said as he fired a lightning bolt at Zeon. Zeon just shrugged off the blow and continued glaring at Sonic.

I charged forward at Zeon's back and smashed him with my fists. My spikes dug into him as he howled in pain.

"You little nuisance! I am taking care of you right now!" Zeon shouted as he turned around to face me again. He shot out a black orb of energy at me and it smashed me backwards. I lost consciousness...

~~~~~ROLM

I watched as Knuckles was smashed backwards and knocked out. I would have to watch out for that energy orb.

"Combine your attacks! We have to use our numbers to our advantage!" Garion shouted as he shot a fireball at Zeon.

'Wind helps the flame...' I remembered from my training. I shot out a blast of wind and watched as it connected with the fireball, enlarging it to about the size of a piano. The blast smashed into Zeon and when he shouted in pain I knew that the attack was a success.

~~~~~TAILS

"Tails! Let's try to do a combination!" Sonic said as he fired a stream of water at Zeon.

"OK, Sonic!" I replied as I used as much lightning as I could onto the water. Sonic stopped sending the water at that moment and the electrified water smashed into Zeon, who fell to the ground and started shaking. "All right!"

"You...little...fools," Zeon said slowly. Suddenly, he stood up with the Master Emerald in his hand. "Did you guys forget that the Master Emerald can stop the power of the Chaos Emeralds?" With that said, the Master Emerald began to glow.

"Crud! None of our spells will work now!" Rolm said angrily.

"Exactly! So NOW what are you going to do?" Zeon said with a smile as a shield of fire slowly surrounded him.

Sonic used his Spin Dash attack to smash through the barrier and into Zeon.

"Ouch! Man, that barrier is even worse than yours, Garion!" Sonic said as he started brushing ash off his body. "I'm not trying that again!"

Zeon smiled. "You see, there is nothing you can do..."

~~~~~METAL SONIC 2

I fired my power laser directly into Zeon. It cut through his flame shield and smashed him backwards. I flew towards him and smashed him with a Homing Attack.

"I HATE fireproof robots!" he shouted as I dodged his orb.

I circled around him as he fired some more of his orbs at me. I fired my rocket launcher at him and watched as all my missiles hit their target. Zeon was blown backwards. I ran after him and fired my power laser right in front of him. He yelled in agony as the beam cut through him. I held my beam on him as he slowly fell to the ground. But he still wasn't dead. Damn! He was tough!

~~~~~SONIC

Wasn't Metal going to turn off his beam? Doesn't he know...?

"Hey, Metal! Turn off your laser! You'll run out of energy if you use it for too long!" I warned.

"Sonic, get out of here! I'm going to hold him here, get out with the others while you can!" Metal replied.

"No! You're coming back with us!" I shouted.

"No, Sonic! I'm the only one who can end this now..." Metal said. "Get out of here!"

I ran and picked up Knuckles and ran towards the exit along with the others.

"Metal, you better not mess up!" I shouted.

"Don't worry about me! When Zeon is defeated, this dimension will collapse! Get out while you can!" he shouted after me.

I put Knuckles into the back seat of the plane, and climbed into my own.

"We're out of here!" Tails shouted as he guided the plane towards the exit.

Suddenly I heard a huge explosion from behind us, and I turned around to see that a wave of fire was coming towards us!

"Hurry Tails!" I yelled as the wave got closer and closer and...

KA-BOOOOM!!!

Maybe I'm too evil...
