AN: Gasp! Metal Sonic speaks!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chapter 7: There is Only One Sonic
It was three hours past midnight, the storm was still raging.
Metal Sonic walked back to the brown backpack Sonic left him; the rain still dripping off him. He took out each box one by one, placing them carefully in a wide circle around him, each one containing the ultimate power. All seven boxes were set. He tossed the pack a little ways off. "01001100 01100101 01110100 00100111 01110011 00100000 01100111 01100101 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01100111 01101111 01101001 01101110 01100111"
Another bolt of lightning came down. Metal Sonic paused at the crashing thunder. He opened up one box; a yellow twinkle. Metal moved to the box to the right. He opened that one; a dim orange glow. The next one came; a glimmering purple. Another box opened up; a blue radiance added to the assembling rainbow. By now Metal Sonic could feel the power being slowly unleashed. He opened the next box; a shining red. All the Emeralds were slowly increasing luminosity with each other. One more box open; a brilliant green. All the water that had dripped had been pushed away and evaporated. The light brightened up the carrier and then some. The final box came. Metal Sonic slowly opened the last box; a blinding white light. The rainbow was complete. The flash of lighting was dulled out from the radiance of the seven Emeralds together. A booming thunder passed by.
A pillar of light surrounded Metal Sonic. Intervals, blends, and streaks of the seven colors lined the walls of the pillar. Metal Sonic stood firm; his fists clenched and his head down. Surges and streams of power flowed through Metal Sonic's body. He could now feel this power. Perhaps this was the feeling of absolute strength. As the power was traveling through his body, his shade of blue gradually got brighter and brighter. Metal Sonic was now shining just like the Emeralds. He lifted his head to the sky, throwing his arms straight out behind him. Then came a flash. The pillar shrunk down and exploded into a ring of light, expanding and dissipating in the air. Metal Sonic's color toned down from the blinding white to a glowing gold. A succession of lighting flashes lit the sky for another instant. Now the Emeralds were no longer in sight. "It's time to end this."
Metal Sonic blasted away with his booster, leaving a five foot wide whole in the hull of the Egg Carrier; the metal still melting on the edges. He moved through the sky like a beam of gold and white light. Behind him, on his trail, lighting came down. The collective thundering was unheard over the intense sonic booms Metal Sonic left behind. Metal could compare no feeling of mere flight to this.
Metal Sonic took the most direct path right back to Eggman's main fort. A wave of aerial defense robot numbering in the hundreds was guarding the fort. He was expected. Metal Sonic flew one circle around the fort in the blink of an eye. All the robots were sent disintegrating away in flames and ashes from the centrifuge. "Useless" Metal Sonic stopped, hovering in front of the north entrance. He was ten feet away from the building. Metal raised his right hand high over his left shoulder. In a flash he sent a slash of energy as he brought his arm down in an instant. The damage on the fort happened in delayed time. He watched as a slash tore into the fort a half second after his hand was already down.
Eggman was still in his pajamas as he frantically ran for any means of escape. Guard robots gathered from every storage tank to the fort grounds. They fired countless projectile and laser shots Metal Sonic. He almost ignored them as not one shot could come in contact with him from his shield. Metal Sonic looked down at the massive amount of robots. All created to do nothing but destroy. Metal ran another circle, now down low. Every robot on the ground was reduced to hot ashes in one round. Metal Sonic looked around at the destruction he caused. He felt no remorse or regret about it. He understood now that whatever brings destruction brings pain. He looked back up to the sky. "Robotnik! Show yourself!"
Eggman could only get to his standard Hover Egg. The slow and lumbering contraption would never outrun Metal Sonic even in his normal state. Metal spotted him. To Eggman, Metal Sonic just appeared in front of him out of nowhere. "It's over Robotnik." Eggman couldn't utter a word. He was paralyzed with fear. Metal Sonic slammed his hand into the hull of the Hover Egg and held onto it tightly. He dragged with him easily. He took Eggman with back into the fort. Entering from the open tear and not caring about any other obstacles as he blasted right through them. He dragged Eggman deeper and deeper into the heart of the fort. At last he found what he wanted: the central power core. It was a large and spacious chamber in mostly green and well lit. Metal Sonic threw Eggman's Hover Egg violently to the ground, breaking not only the machine, but Eggman's leg. Eggman yelled on impact. Metal Sonic lowered himself so as to be heard. "You've put me and many others through much greater pain than you will ever experience."
There were five large tubes pumping in coolant for the nuclear powered generator. Metal Sonic knew exactly what to do. He floated over to the main one, slashing it clean off. The temperature was already rising. "Wait Metal! You'll cause a meltdown." Metal Sonic watched Eggman as he slashed one of the secondary tubes. "That was the point." He slashed another tube. The cooling fluid falling to the floor, wasted. Eggman pushed every button on his Hover Egg's console but to no avail. The room was getting exceedingly hot as Metal slashed the two last tubes. Eggman was breathing heavily, about to pass out from the heat alone. Metal Sonic hovered down to the ground. He saw the console connected to the generator close by. He pushed a few buttons quickly. A lead dome rose up from the ground, covering the fort from the ground up. "I've shut us in and set the reactor to overload." Eggman couldn't even give a response from the heat a terror.
Metal Sonic calmed himself. His shining gold returned to his usual blue. The feeling of absolute strength passed. Now he could feel the uncomfortable heat. A monotone voice resonated in the chamber. "CORE_MELTDOWN_IN_20_SECONDS" Metal Sonic sat down and leaned against the console. "01010100 01101000 01100101 01110010 01100101 00100000 01110111 01101001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01100010 01100101 00100000 01101111 01101110 01101100 01111001 00100000 01101111 01101110 01100101 00100000 01010011 01101111 01101110 01101001 01100011"
*Back at the Mystic Ruins*
Sonic woke up abruptly from his sleep. He sat up throwing the bed sheets off him in an unthought-of frenzy. His face showed fear to as much as he could show. In his brusque movements Amy woke up. She was a little scared herself seeing Sonic like that. She sat up, putting her arm over his shoulder.
"Did something happen?" She said while gently rubbing his back. Sonic took a few heavy breaths before speaking.
"It's nothing. Just go back to sleep." Sonic got up and out of bed. "I'm just gonna get a glass of water."
"Ok. *yawn* I don't think I'll be waiting up." Sonic was almost out the bedroom door.
"It's ok." Sonic went downstairs.
On the dining room table he found the center piece, a bouquet of roses in the blue vase. He pulled a single rose out of the bunch. He walked to the front door as quietly as he could, trying not to wake up Tails. As he went outside, the storm was almost over. The last drops of rain were falling. Sonic walked all the way to the edge of the runway. He closed his eyes for a moment, holding the rose close. "We could have been real friends if we hadn't been enemies. I'll guess I'll miss you." Sonic held up the rose, and gently tossed it over the edge to the sea. "Goodbye my friend."
