Sonic Adventure 3

Chapter 6: The Enemies are Matched

Everyone had what they needed for their adventure. Tails had recently created a Cyclone 2. He'd only use it if he was a bit tired though. They didn't know about the new enemies on the Dark Side. They moved out in the city, looking around. Just then, some police came up.

"You are all under arrest!" the policeman called.

"Uh-oh!" Knuckles said. "What did I do?"

Shadow turned to Sonic. "Sonic, I'll take care of these guys. You guys run!"

Sonic turned around. "Right then. We'll meet at the pyramids!" he said. The others ran away. Shadow turned to the police and there was a robot there.

"Battle time!"

-SWIFT LIZARD-

"This is Swift Lizard, reporting to headquarters. The intruder was found and will be destroyed."

"Copy that."

Swift Lizard lived up to its name. It was awfully fast. Shadow was too. They moved in a very fast battle. Shadow had hit the robot really fast. It was eventually destroyed.

"Why don't you humans get it!? I'm the Ultimate!" Shadow yelled while doing a pose.

=====

Sonic kept running. He jumped on a building and watched out for anything strange. Just then, he felt a presence behind him. Sonic turned around, to come face to face with a hedgehog named Dash.

"So," Sonic murmured. "You're Dash that I've heard about."

Dash smirked evilly. "That would be me."

Sonic growled. He threw a punch at him, but Dash moved stealthily to move away. "You're faster than I thought."

"You aren't the one I have to fight!" Dash said, he held up one hand. "Metal Sonic shall fight you!"

"Metal Sonic?"

Metal Sonic appeared in front of Dash. Sonic gasped.

"You're alive?" He asked.

"Better than ever, my old nemesis," Metal replied. He went into a fighting stance. Dash turned.

"I need the Chaos Emeralds. So I will be gone." Dash said as he faded away from existence.

"I'll destroy just like I did 5 years ago!" Sonic said loudly. He went into a fighting stance similar to Metal's.

"You wish!" Metal said.

-METAL SONIC-

Sonic started by jumping back. Metal did the same. They both powered up a spin dash and they hit each other at incredible speed. They both landed 6 feet away from each other, unharmed.

Sonic went into spin-ball mode. Light surrounded him and he came out surrounded by a silver light.

"Light Speed Dash!" Sonic yelled.

Sonic was launched at light speed and he surrounded Metal. Sonic then hit Metal's torso with all his energy. Metal's torso plate cracked. Then some wires came out of his back and the crack was instantly repaired.

"What the...?" Sonic said, amazed.

Metal laughed. "I have been improved, Sonic! I can repair anything you do to me!"

"Grrr...." Sonic growled.

"We shall meet again!" Metal yelled. He disappeared in a small flash of light.

Sonic panted. He then ran away to find the others.

=====

Tails ran through a highway. He jumped over a fence to see Eggman in his Egg walker. Eggman had spotted him as well. They stared at each other for a minute. Then they approached each other.

"So, you are hunting for the Chaos Emeralds as well, eh?" Eggman sneered.

"Maybe," Tails replied, glaring at Eggman. He whistled. A red walker appeared behind him. It had the same designs as the Cyclone. On the side in bold white letters, it said "Cyclone 2". Tails hopped in.

"If it's a battle you want, it's a battle you'll get!" Eggman said.

-EGGMAN-

Tails aimed at Eggman with his rocket launcher. He fired some missiles at Eggman. A shield appeared in front of the Egg Walker and the missiles bounced off and exploded.

"What the...?"

"Ha-ha!" Eggman laughed. "I'm not the only one who made modifications!" Eggman fired some missiles of his own at Tails. Tails fired some more just in time to make the missiles collide and explode. Tails was away form the explosion, but Eggman was caught in it. His machine was smoking and looked as if it were going to break down.

The walker malfunctioned and sent Eggman's pod flying into the air.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The Cyclone 2 started jumping. Tails shouted, "I did it!"

=====

Knuckles climbed the walls of a skyscraper. He moved stealthily so he wouldn't be noticed. Once he made it to the top. He found a familiar puddle in front of him.

"Chaos?" Knuckles said to himself.

The puddle rose and formed into Chaos. Knuckles noticed the strange box machine in what should be his throat.

"That would be I," Chaos said. He noticed something shimmer in Knuckles' right hand. It shined green, it was the Master Emerald. 'Maybe if I shatter it, I'll find the pieces and return it to my master.' He thought.

Knuckles then noticed something was wrong. "Huh?"

Chaos's left arm stretched and knocked the Master Emerald from Knuckles' hand. He then tossed it and shattered it with one of his beams.

"No!!!" Knuckles yelled. The pieces floated away, scattering across the state. Chaos then turned around.

"I promise, we will meet again." He murmured. He became a puddle and disappeared in a drain pipe.

Knuckles turned around as well. "Time for treasure hunting again." He then glided off, searching for his emerald.

=====

Shadow jumped and grinded down a pole. He thought GUN2 might have a Chaos Emerald or two. Shadow walked around, he then saw something behind him. Dash appeared in front of the other hedgehog.

"Searching for them as well, right?" Dash asked.

"Yes," Shadow replied. "What are you doing here?"

"Same thing as you. And you know perfectly well that we both have Chaos Emeralds."

"And you think I'm going to give them to you that easily?"

"Well, we'll fight for each other's emerald then."

"Fine by me." Shadow got into his usual stance. Dash stayed the same. Shadow spin dashed Dash. Dash dodged and sent a kick at Shadow's side. It hit with massive force. Shadow could barely move after that powerful hit. He struggled to get up, but all he accomplished was more pain.

Dash walked up to him and took the emerald from his twitching hand. "I'm sorry, for that." He said, a tear ran down his red green eye. "Chaos Control!" He disappeared.

'What did he mean by that?' Shadow asked himself in his head. He was later found by Sonic. Sonic, being a really nice guy, helped him up; they went downtown to discuss their next attack.
