War for the Chaos Emeralds! PART 5: "Believe in myself".

(E-1000 has just absorbed the LAST CHAOS EMERALD!)

E-1000: Well, I'd say it's just about all OVER now, wouldn't you, fox boy?

Tails: I-it'll NEVER be over! Not as long as there are people like ME around!

E-1000: Yes, but how much longer WILL you be around?.

Tails: .... Long enough to BEAT you, I'll make SURE of it.

E-1000: (bored) Anyway, I think it's about time I gave this new form a test run- see just how much my potential has been INCREASED.

(E-1000 charges the blast cannon on his left arm)

VROOOO----

E-1000: TARGETING!.

BIP!. BIP!. BIP!

Tails: Huh? What's he up to- NO!

(Tails looks up, and sees that E-1000 is targeting the floating island! He runs over and immediately tries to stop him)

Tails: No, NO! I WON'T let you DO it! You CAN'T! You MUSTN'T I'll-

(But, Tails' efforts do nothing to even distract E-1000.)

E-1000: Get OFF!

(He smacks Tails with his right arm, sending him flying backwards into some rubble)

Tails: Uggghhh.. No...

E-1000: FIRE!

Tails: NOOOOOO!!!!

PHRAAAAMMM- KROOOOOOMMM!!! (Tails leaps up in an attempt to stop E-1000, but instead sees the Floating Island being shattered by E-1000's beam)

Tails: (with tears in eyes) No. How COULD you!? My friends! .. Knuckles, Amy. ALL the echidnas! They were my FRIENDS.. Ohh, I'll make SURE you go DOWN for THIS! I'm gonna make sure you PAY!

(Tails begins to glow bright white. )

VYYYYYYSHYOOOWW!!!

(The Master Emerald, falling from the destroyed Floating Island, is drawn towards Tails' light.)

Tails: Now you're gonna see what the power of the emeralds can do AGAINST you!

(The emerald flies towards Tails, and the glow becomes ultra-bright)

VWOOOSSSHHHHHH!!!

(As the light fades, Super Tails is standing there)

Tails: I'd say my odds have increased. wouldn't you?

E-1000: Not a CHANCE! Even the power of the Master Emerald pales when compared to all SEVEN!

Tails: We'll SEE about THAT!

(Tails apparently disappears, reappearing in front of E-1000)

E-1000: What the?!

KRANGGG!!!

(Tail kicks him in the face)

E-1000: (Thinks) This new from IS powerful! But still not powerful enough to beat ME!

(Suddenly, four bright lights appear, and circle Tails)

Tails: I wondered when you guys would get here!

E-1000: What?!

Tails: The SUPER FLICKIES! All RIGHT!

E-1000: You're KIDDING, right?

Tails: Oh YEAH?! Well, you're about to learn that it can be DANGEROUS to underestimate things! GOOOO, Flickies!!

(The four Flickies fly in line towards E-1000, and slam into him hard, denting his chest plate)

E-1000: AUUUGH!!! Still, It's not enough to-

(Tails leaps forward and pounds E-1000 with everything he has!)

E-1000: ARGGH!!! What are you DOING?!

Tails: I'm giving you a taste of your OWN medicine!

E-1000: Fine, fine. If you want to play the HERO, I guess I'll just have to crank my new powers up to the absolute MAXIMUM..

Tails: Uh-oh.

VOOOSH!!!!..

(After a little light show, E-1000 is using all his power!)

E-1000: Let's see how you like THIS!

(He swing s his fists forward and smashes Tails right in the face!)

KRAKK!

Tails: UGHHH! Too strong!.

KRUMP!

(Tails smashes into a wall and falls to the floor)

Tails: Ughh. It's all over.

(Suddenly, Tails hears a voice.)

Voice: Tails, don't give UP yet!

Tails: H-huh? Sonic?..

Sonic voice: Yep! The one and only!

Tails: But. where ARE you?

Sonic: Well, that's the kinda dodgy part. I'm in HERE!

(Tails looks, and notices the voice is coming from E-1000)

Tails: -But HOW?!

Sonic: I'm not even sure myself! I think when everything happened up in space, instead of DYING, I somehow ended up inside the blue emerald! Y'know, kinda like when Kintobor had to go onto that Mobius ring? And when E-1000 absorbed the blue emerald, he must've got ME, too.

Tails: I think I get it. then that means- YOU saved me, Sonic!

Sonic: Don't I always?- But this time it's up to YOU. I KNOW you can do this! I'm gonna use all the power I've got left to try and mess up E-1000's systems! The rest is up to you!

Tails: All RIGHT!

(E-1000 begins to fizz and spark)

E-1000: No! What's going ON? My systems are FAILING! -I have to finish this, QUICK!

Tails: No way, E-1000.

E-1000: Huh?

Tails: There's no WAY you can win NOW, E-1000. Sonic saved my LIFE earlier, and I think the best way to repay him is to get him OUT of you!

E-1000: Fool. You're STILL not strong enough to beat ME!

(E-1000 hits Tails again, sending him flying..)

Tails: I don't think I can beat this guy.. I need to think of a way.

E-1000: Just give up! It's totally useless! Even with the power of the Master emerald, you couldn't beat me!

Tails: That's IT! The MASTER EMERALD! It can control the power of the CHAOS emeralds!

(Tails runs over and picks up the Master Emerald)

Tails: Get ready for an ENERGY DRAIN, Creep!

E-1000: Huh?-AAAAGH!

(E-1000 begins to lose energy, as all the power he took from the seven emeralds is drawn into the Master Emerald. He turns back to his most primitive state.)

Tails: Hang on, I recognise YOU! You're that nasty little robot that blasted at me in the factory! (See part 1-Mark) So THAT'S how you knew where the emerald was..

E-1000: Uh-Oh. Tails: Now you're DONE for! Because you know what I'm gonna do? --I'm gonna put all this emerald energy into ME!

E-1000: Noo. NOOO..

Tails: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

V-SHYOOOOWWWW!!!!

(With a very bright flash, Tails proceeds to the next level! A level that he had never achieved before! HYPER TAILS!)

Tails: .. Now you're REALLY done for!

E-1000: No- NOO. Don't DO this! You don't know what you're DOING! You-you!

Tails: This is for all the TERRIBLE things you've done! GOODBYE, E- 1000!!!!!

(Tails charges into E-1000 at the speed of light, shattering him to pieces!)

WHOOSH!-

KRANNGSHT!

E-1000: NAAAAAAAAAAOOOOoooooooooo!!!!...

(A few hours later, tails is back at the Emerald hill base, alone. He's collected the seven emeralds from E-100's remains, and stored them in a machine to keep Sonic around. He's sitting in his room once more.)

Sonic voice: You were really great out there today, Tails.

Tails: Really? You think so?

Sonic voice: Yup! And I just know that I'll be back in my body sooner or later!

Tails: But what about Amy? And all the echidnas..

Sonic: We'll let the time stones worry about that one! Right after we get me back to normal! I can't STAND this!

(As Tails laughs, the scene cuts to an outside view of the emerald hill base, in the moonlight.)

THE END (but to be continued!)
