2 nights ago Chaotix Headquarters
While Vector and Charmy panicked, Espio questioned the warrior, who had continued to put explosives on the wall. "Who are you and why are you doing this to us?"
That info is on a need to know basis, but you can call me Lock." the assailant's voice was a little like the chameleon's, but a little less scratchy and not as deep. Espio sensed deep pain in his voice. "Haven't seen you since before your ninja training started. You've changed more than your friends here. You aren't that punk that was barely surviving on Angel Island."
"Shut up!" the ninja shouted, trying not to remember that part of his life. He had been a punk, getting into trouble wherever he went. If it hadn't been for Knuckles saving him from his bookie, he would probably be dead. The guardian had introduced him to the Chaotix and he had soon begun his training. Suddenly, Lock stepped away from the wall and the Chaotix gasped. The wall was covered in bombs of all shapes, sizes, and levels of destructive force. Lock began to laugh.
"So what do you think, boys?" he asked, an evil smile on his face. "This is my greatest masterpiece ever. You see, I have set every single bomb to go off in exactly two weeks. When that happens, BOOM, no more Station Square! The boss will be proud." the bomber began to head towards the exit. "By the way, I wouldn't try to move any of those, because if you do, the city will be turned to rubble anyway. The only thing that would keep them from blowing up is this switch." Lock lifted up a small control pad. It was about the size of a Chaos Emerald and it was the same color as Lock's jacket. It had for buttons on it. "And now, I bid you farewell." Lock threw a smoke bomb on the floor. When it cleared away, the Chaotix's newest enemy was gone.

Today Mystic Ruins
Endigo jumped off of the Chaos Gamma's shoulder and walked over to Shadow. The hedgehog stood his ground, but the dark fox rose his arms. "Don't worry, Shadow I'm not here to kill you. I just want to take care of your so-called friends first." The others got ready for a fight, with Knuckles in front of Cream for her protection. " Gamma, kill them by any means necessary. "
C. Gamma was about to attack, when a missile broke in through the window and crashed into the robot. As he flew through the wall, Tails shouted "Not another hole!"
The group ran outside and saw who had fired the missile. "Omega!" Rouge shouted happily, seeing her old friend again. They were shocked when they realized who was sitting on his shoulder.
"Metal!" Sonic yelled, seeing his robotic counterpart. "What's he doing here?'
Omega ignored the blue hedgehog. He completed his analysis of the enemy robot. " Recognized as an early E-100 series. E-102 Gamma. Created by Dr. Eggman. Must destroy."
Endigo smirked "So you want a battle with my minion. Fine. Gamma, show him what you can do!" C. Gamma and Omega charged at each other, ready to prove that they were the strongest of the E-100 series.
The robotic warriors collided and the battle began. Omega jumped into the air and let a barrage of bullets fly at the his opponent. C. Gamma launched himself back and fired a pair of mini-missiles at the larger fighter. E-123 was sent into the workshop, causing it to collapse.
No!!!" the fox boy screamed, fainting from shock. Knuckles caught him before he hit the ground.
The wooden remains were set ablaze as Omega fired up his rockets. He landed next to Amy. "Come on, Omega! You can destroy that faker!"
"Negative. Power levels too high to be held by a C. Gamma. This is the real Gamma."
"That can't be the real Gamma. We found his remains on the Egg Carrier." Sonic turned towards the large warrior. "How could this be the real deal?"
This is unknown. Gamma is being controlled by a scrambler on his right knee joint. This is how Endigo is using him. Gamma is too fast for me to catch on my own. I will need Shadow to use Chaos Control." The group turned toward the dark hedgehog, whose mind was racing.
Will I be fast enough? Will Endigo counterattack? Does Chaos Control even affect him?
"You can do it, Shadow." the hedgehog looked up and saw Rouge in front of him. "We all believe in you. You've done it before and you can do it again."
"Your right, Rouge. I can do it. I'm going to be honest with you guys. Endigo scares me more than anything in the world, but I won't let it get to me now. Are you ready, Omega?"
"Affirmative."
"You fools!" Endigo laughed, causing the team to turn towards the psychotic fox. "Did you forget we were here. If could direct your attention to Gamma!" the group was shocked at what they saw. Gamma had charged up his arm cannon and it was larger than it should be. "I've given a power boost to that worthless contraption. He has enough power t demolish you all."
Just as the blast was about to be released, Shadow grabbed Omega's arm and shouted "CHAOS CONTROL!!!!" the emerald sent out a wave of power and time stopped. Omega immediately charged at Gamma and destroyed the control module.
"Objective completed. Will now wait for time to restart."
"There's one more thing you can do for me, Omega." Shadow said, a smirk on his face.

Mystic Ruins Train Station
"What is going on down there?!" Vector shouted, pointing to the large fire where Tails' workshop should have been.
"I don't know, but look who's down there in the middle of it all." Espio looked at their old friend.
"It's Knuckles!" Charmy laughed happily. "But who is he fighting?"
Let's go and find out!" the trio ran down the stairs, just as the next train arrived. When the doors opened, Lock stepped out.

The Battlefield
Time restarted and Endigo was shocked by the disappearance of Gamma. He turned to see where Shadow was and gasped when he saw the blast surging at him. He tried to grab his Chaos Emerald, but it was too late. The energy bomb crashed into him, sending him of the side of the cliff, exploding.
"Oh yeah, right on the money!" Sonic shouted, punching the air.
"Are you okay, Gamma?" Amy had run over to her old friend and hugged him, tears in her eyes.
"Amy? Where am I? The last thing I remember was running into an indigo colored fox."
"It's going to be alright, Gamma."
"Hey, Knuckles!" the echidna turned to face his old friends, the Chaotix, running towards him.
"Well look who's here just as the smoke clears, just like always!" the echidna laughed.
"I would say they're just in time!" the heroes turned to see Lock running towards them. He threw the sapphire emerald into the air
"Who the hell is that guy?!"
"He won't tell us his real name, but he goes by Lock!" Charmy shouted, getting into Knuckles face.
"Just great, anoth…" suddenly, the ground beneath Shadow blew up into the air. Endigo appeared and grabbed the emerald Lock had thrown and Shadow's.
"Now that I have obtained three Chaos Emeralds, I can use my ultimate technique!" the fox threw the emeralds into the air. As they fell in front of his hands, he shouted "REVERSE CHAOS CONTROL!!!"
