Sonic Adventure 3

Chapter 9: 6 Down, 1 to Go



Sonic and the others ran towards the GUN2 base. Knuckles was leading the way, but Sonic would sometimes accidentally pull ahead of him. The finally came across a large military building.

"Look! There it is!" Tails shouted, blocking his eyes from the blazing and rising sun. Knuckles put his sun glasses on, while Sonic and Shadow put their hands above their eyes as Tails did. They made it into the shade and they looked around for any guards.

They noticed another group that was at least 30 feet away from them. Sonic took a step closer next to Shadow.

"Is that who I think it is?" Sonic asked.

"Eggman, with Dash," Shadow nodded. Then he noticed something else. He saw Metal Sonic and Chaos, watching as Eggman was talking to Dash. "What're they talking about?"

"Not sure," Knuckles said, coming next to the hedgehogs. Tails did the same.

"Maybe they're planning," Tails speculated.

"Possibly." Sonic watched them. Dash drooped his head. Eggman shook his head, and then they split up.

"I gotta get to Chaos! He possibly has the Master Emerald pieces!" Knuckles yelled, running away.

Sonic shook his head, "That knucklehead with his gems, what next?" He said with sarcasm while shrugging.

"We should get looking for the emeralds," Tails said to Sonic.

"Tails, you go look for one. Shadow and I will search for the other 4 emeralds!" Sonic ordered. Tails nodded and he twisted his tails and he flew off. "Well, what're we waiting for? Let's move it!" Sonic said as he gathered speed and he sped off. Shadow shrugged and followed him.

=====

Dash moved through traps and bars to find the Chaos Emeralds. He was partnered up with Metal. They later split up to find two emeralds.

Stage 3: Security Hall Dash

Mission: Find a Chaos Emerald!

Dash flipped onto a higher level. He could sense the emerald near him. He noticed a GUN2 Shield Hunter robot that aimed its gun at him. Dash dodged the bullets and lasers with intense speed and he used a summersault on the robot, blowing it up.

"Take that! Can of sardines!" He yelled at the remains of the dead robot. He smirked evilly and continued looking. He knew it was very close. He noticed a time switch near him. He ran for it and hit the switch. He saw a gate open, revealing a light blue Chaos Emerald. He had 5 seconds to get to the emerald, which was 30 feet away from him.

5....

Dash ran at top speed.

4....

Dash jumped over some gaps and continued running.

3...

Dash was near the emerald.

2....

Dash jumped for the cage.

1....

Dash jumped in, just when the gate closed. He grabbed the emerald.

"Games are too easy!" Dash taunted, as he did his usual back-flip and peace.

Score: 7000 Rings: 7 Time: 2:54:30

Total Score: 12470

"Who's the Hedgehog?" Dash said happily.

Stage 4: Inner Base Metal Sonic

Mission: Find 2 Chaos Emeralds!

Metal Sonic had been zooming around, here and there. Just when he was about to walk to a Chaos Emerald, he fell into a hole. He stayed calm and landed gracefully on the ground below him. He arose and looked at his surroundings.

"This appears to be an underground chamber," Metal said in his robotic voice. "I ca possibly find the other Chaos Emerald, then get the one at higher ground."

He zoomed straight forward. He gained some speed and kept his eyes crossed. He then saw a shimmer ahead of him. It was a door that was surrounded by fire.

"Finding mission," Metal said as numbers and screens appeared before his eyes. Then some arrows appeared started pointing and pictures of GUN2 robots appeared. "Mission: To destroy robots to get the flames extinguished. Then to get Chaos Emerald behind door."

He started looking around the area, destroying robots with his lasers. He destroyed the last one with ease and the door's flames disappeared. A gate appeared where the flames were and it opened, revealing a Chaos Emerald. Metal made a grab for it; he then clutched it in his hand.

"One found, another to gain," Metal said. He jumped and started floating because of his Jet Back. He saw a closing door on the ceiling. He went at full speed to make it through. His foot got caught, but then it slipped and Metal's foot stayed on. Metal then saw the next emerald, he jumped over robots and destroyed them with rocket launchers, and then he grabbed the emerald.

"Mission complete," Metal said.

Score: 7300 Rings: 19 Time: 5:45:30 Total Score: 18900

Stage 5: Iron Gates Dr. Eggman

Mission: Find 3 Chaos Emeralds



The Egg Walker's radar was beeping. "The Chaos Emeralds must be near," Eggman said, following the radar's signal. When the radar was a Crimson red, he knew the emerald was very close.

Eggman saw a GUN2 robot. He started shooting at it, but a force field was absorbing the attacks.

"No! I can't believe this!" he shouted angrily. Then the robot had a piece of its armor torn off by something. It was small, but he had to try. He aimed his laser at the spot and shot at it. The sides of the missile touched the shield and exploded, but the middle made it through the small hole and went into the robot, causing it to explode. An emerald came out of the remains and Eggman got it. "Yosh!" he yelled. "2 more now!"

Since I have suddenly got lazy (or maybe Writer's Block), Eggman just finds the two Chaos Emeralds next to each other.

"Yosh!" Eggman yelled while his robot was jumping.

Score: 200 Rings: 0 Time: 10:00:00

=====

Sonic was walking around with Shadow.

"No sign yet," Sonic said.

"Same here," Shadow replied.

"Wait something's wrong he-WAH!" Sonic fell down a hole.

"Sonic!" Shadow yelled. He jumped in, yelling at the same time his friend was. They landed on top of each other and they got up.

Sonic groaned, "Where are we?"

Shadow got up, rubbing his head. "I guess we're in a base of some sort."

They walked around, and then they heard some machinery. They peeked inside, seeing two robots experimenting on something.

"A Chaos Emerald," Shadow mumbled.

Sonic looked at Shadow, "How do we get it?"

Shadow didn't answer. He walked from their spot, yelling, "Hey! Over here bucket of bolts!"

The robots turned around, seeing Shadow. "Intruders!" they both yelled.

-SEN AND EXE (terrible names)-

The two robots aimed at Shadow. When they shot, Shadow disappeared and knocked Exe down, easily killing it.

Sonic jumped to the ceiling, pushing off it and landing a head butt right on Sen's head, crushing him.

They both did victory poses.

"That was easy!" Sonic yelled.

"Nothing can destroy me!" Shadow yelled too.

They then grabbed the Chaos Emerald from the tank and quickly left the room.

=====

Sonic and Shadow had a feeling that someone was there.

Just on cue, Dash and Metal Sonic appeared.

"You, you haven't given up yet?" Sonic glared at Metal.

"Why would I give up?" said Metal in a taunting voice that made Sonic clench his fists. "I want my revenge on you!"

Shadow then looked at Dash, "As I want to do to you!"

Dash smirked, "Bring it on!"

-DASH-

Shadow and Dash stared each other down. Then they both started to fade out. Then they made quick attacks while fading. They kept hitting each other at the same time. This continued until Shadow yelled, "Chaos Spear!" The lightening bolts hit Dash, sending him to the ground.

Shadow stepped toward him, standing over him. Dash looked knocked out, when his feet were sent into Shadow's face, sending him to a wall, breaking it. After the wall shattered, Shadow fell, back aching. Dash then stood over Shadow.

Shadow groaned in pain. Dash said, "You ready to give up yet?"

Shadow opened one eye. He then said weakly, "Ne-never...."

"Pitiful," Dash mumbled. He put a foot on Shadow's chest, starting to crush him. Then Shadow's eyes flashed open as he did a beam toward Dash's face.

He yelled, "NEVER TAUNT THE ULTIMATE LIFE!" Shadow sent beams at Dash rapidly until Dash went unconscious. Dash fell, body with scratches and blood all over. Shadow won this battle.

=====

-METAL SONIC-

"You will die!" Metal yelled, voice as menacing as ever

Sonic rushed toward Metal, yelling, "Sonic Wind!"

The blue tornado surrounded Metal and closed all around him. Metal's head spun as he rushed toward Sonic and punched him in the jaw. Sonic yelled in pain and wiped some blood off his mouth. Metal approached him and powered up his laser cannon. It fired and hit Sonic in the stomach. Sonic's eyes went wide as it hit. There was a big scar where it hit. Sonic went unconscious. Metal Sonic claimed victory.

=====

Shadow picked up Sonic as Metal picked up Dash. They turned and looked at each other. They both said, "We will meet again." And at that, they turned around and walked away. Metal then could feel something behind him.

He turned, seeing a Chaos Emerald. Metal would have grinned if he could move his mouth. He picked up the emerald, needing only one more for the collection.
