Sonic The Hedgehog

Villain

Chapter 4

By, Spectral

I've changed my mind and decided to add some stuff from my other fic into this one.

Disclaimer: Spectral defiantly does NOT own Sonic the Hedgehog or related characters and themes. He does own the following characters: Mirage and Edwin. Now… on to the story!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Mirage trudged through snow. They were on their way towards another Chaos Emerald that Tails had located.

Mirage: *sneezes* How much farther, Tails?

Tails: Not far.

Mirage: 'Not far' as in I can warp there or 'not far' as in you're not sure?

Tails: Uhh…

Mirage: Thought so…

Amy: AAAAH! I can't take it any more! It's too cold!

Edwin: Then allow me to warm things up! (I know…bad line but it was the only thing I could come up with)

            The ground exploded sending all four sailing. Sonic landed on his feet, Tails hovered down next to him (no mech), Amy landed in a crouch, and Mirage landed headfirst in the snow. The ones that weren't stuck in the snow all looked up to see Edwin floating above them in an E-o-matic (his version of the Egg-o-matic) Hovercraft.

Edwin: HAHAHAHA! Hand over your Chaos Emerald now!

Sonic: Come and take it!

Edwin: Attack!

            The E-1000's swarmed forward. After a few moments, robot wreckage littered the ground and small animals were running away. Edwin glared down at Sonic and Co.

Edwin: It seems I'll have to turn things up a notch.

            Edwin flew the E-o-matic up into the clouds and then there was a flash of light. Moments later he fell back to the ground in his new and improved mech. It still kept the Egg Walker base design but now had a laser cannon, bazooka, and a grappling cannon (like Zero's arm) instead of an arm. Seconds later, Zero, and Metal Sonic dropped down on opposite sides of him.

Edwin: Now…Attack!

            Metal Sonic sped forward and knocked Sonic over. The blue hedgehog sprang to his feet and took off after the metal monster. Zero fired one of its hands at Amy but Mirage warped in front of her and kicked it away. Zero began to advance upon them and Amy drew her hammer. Mirage took a step forward and got ready to attack. Tails was going to help when Edwin shot the ground at his feet. The fox turned and looked up.

Edwin: Next time I won't miss. Hand over the Chaos Emerald or I'll take it when you're dead.

Tails: I'll never let you have the emerald.

Edwin: Very well then.

            Edwin opened fire and Tails took to the skies. Edwin continued to fire but the fox was able to avoid the laser blasts. Meanwhile, Sonic and Metal Sonic were racing across the area. Both made several attacks but neither did much damage. Also, Amy and Mirage were fighting Zero but things still appeared even. That is until Mirage warped on top of Zero's head. The robot tried to smash to fox but it just warped away. Zero only succeeded in revealing his weak spot. Amy saw her opportunity and went for it; she smacked Zero with her hammer, causing the robot to break down.

            Sonic and Metal Sonic clashed a few more times before Sonic nailed Metal Sonic with a Homing Attack. The robot went flying and slammed into Edwin's mech. Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Mirage all stood together and prepared to defend themselves. Edwin looked at the damaged Zero and Metal Sonic and then at his mech's non-functional weaponry.

Edwin: We'll continue this some other time.

            Edwin threw down a flash bomb and when everyone could see again, the villain and the two robots were gone. Sonic and co then continued towards their goal.

**Somewhere over the ocean**

            The E-o-matic flew over the ocean as Edwin made his way back to base.

Edwin: Blast! I'll just have to bring more firepower next time…now what's this?

            Edwin looked at the Chaos emerald radar he had installed in his hovercraft. It showed an emerald very close to his current position.

Edwin: Well…this must be the third emerald the doctor located. I'll retrieve this one instead.

            Edwin altered course. Soon he came to an island that was floating just above the surface of the ocean. The hover craft circled the island once before Edwin hit a button. The craft began to transform once again. This time it became a mech with a verticle oval shaped red body with a glass canopy covering Edwin and the mech's controls. Feet and legs decended from the mech and then arms ending in claws appeared as well. Jet boosters opened on the mech's back and it landed on the island.

Edwin: This must be Angel Island…then it must have been the Master Emerald on radar…I suppose I could find something to do with it…

            The mech proceeded forward and after about 20 minutes is came to a large staircase. After boosting up to the top, the mech stopped at a giant glowing emerald.

Edwin: The Master Emerald…and its all mine…

            The mech reached for the emerald but suddenly pulled back and jumped to the side. About a second later, Rouge hit the ground where the mech had been standing. She looked up at the mech.

Rouge: Back off, Eggman! This emerald's mine!

Edwin: What?

Rouge: The Master Emerald belongs to me, Eggman!

Edwin: As much as I enjoy having people think I am him, I'm not Dr. Eggman.

Rouge: What?

            The glass lifted up and Edwin stood up. Rouge raised an eyebrow and took a step back.

Rouge: You're just a kid! What're you doing here and where'd you get that machine.

Edwin: My name is Edwin. I'm here for the Master Emerald and I'm not going to let you stand in my way!.

            Edwin's mech closed back up and launched four missiles. The missiles spun in the air a few times before flying forward and attacking Rouge. The treasure huntress dove out of the way and ran at the mech. Edwin moved his machine out of the way and launched four more missiles. Rouge shielded herself but the blast from the missiles sent her flying into the wall, knocking her out.

Edwin: And now what I came here for…

            Edwin turned his mech to grab to Master Emerald but it was gone.

Knuckles: Looking for something, Eggman?

Edwin: Well, if it isn't Knuckles…

Knuckles: Get lost before I lose my temper, doc.

Edwin: I'm not Eggman.

Knuckles: Like I'm gonna fall for that!

            Edwin opened his mech again and stood up. Knuckles was a bit shocked but quickly regained his tough appearance.

Knuckles: Look kid, I don't know who you are and I don't really care, so why don't you run along and play?

Edwin: Oh but you should care.

Knuckles: Oh? And why's that?

Edwin: Because Eggman's gathering the Chaos Emeralds again.

Knuckles: What?! How do you know?

Edwin: I'm trying to stop Eggman.

Knuckles: You?! You're just a kid.

Edwin: That may be so but I built this mech and I managed to get two Chaos Emeralds before Eggman. Well I had them until Sonic took them…

Knuckles: Sonic took the Emeralds from you?

Edwin: Yeah. He said that he could stop Eggman without me but I've built a machine that'll render all of Eggman's machine's useless. Think about it, has Sonic actually ever stopped Dr. Eggman? Eggman gets away every time. With my machine he'll be captured for sure! All I need to power it is the seven Chaos Emeralds…

Knuckles: Then why were you trying to steal the Master Emerald?

Edwin: I thought it was a Chaos Emerald…so. Can you help me get the Chaos Emeralds? I'm not sure if I can take the ones back that Sonic stole from me…

Knuckles: Alright. I'll help.

Edwin: Great! I'm going after the next emerald on my radar. I last saw Sonic heading towards the mountains.

Knuckles: I'll get the Chaos Emeralds back from Sonic.

Edwin: Perfect…

            Knuckles jumped out of the area and Edwin turned to leave. He was about to take off when…

Rouge: Hold it…you're not gonna get away with this!

Edwin: I already have…and now to finish you off…

            Edwin locked onto the bat but just as he was about to fire, something slammed into him. Edwin glared at whatever had attacked him.

Edwin: Who's that?

            A black hedgehog stood between Edwin and Rouge. Edwin's mech wasn't in any shape for battle so he just threw down a flash bomb and took off.

Next Time:

What is Edwin's next course of action? Will Knuckles be tricked yet again? Who was that black hedgehog(like you all don't already know…) find out next time!
