Chapter 3
The Chaotix detectives and The Rose Petals arrived at the music store. They picked up a box labelled CD 252 and sure enough there was a radio. Vector held the radio up to his mouth and pressed the button.
"Hello, this is Vector of the Chaotix detectives. What do you want us to do know Mr. X?" asked Vector.
"Proceed inside. You need to get to 25th floor it's there that they are holding Miles prisoner", said a voice.
"Ok then, time to smash some heads", said Vector.
"Er excuse me Mr. X. Do you know if the Chao disease problem originated here? Do you know if this Miles you're looking after has something to do with it?" asked Amy.
"I heard about that on the news. I'm sorry I don't know. Wait who are you anyway?" asked the voice.
"I am Amy Rose of the newly founded Rose Petals. Myself and two friends are looking for a cure to help the chao", replied Amy.
"Well I can only guess but seeing as that has something to do with Eggman you'll find your answers inside. Perhaps you 6 can work together in infiltrating the base", said Mr. X, "It is not going to be easy"
"He has a point. We both need to get inside", said Espio
"Yeah, let's work together", said Charmy.
"Agreed, let's move", said Amy. Perhaps all this adventuring might even lead to Sonic.
The six smashed into the towering base and were comfronted with an army of Eggman's badniks.
"Alright, this might actually be fun", said Vector, "Let's move out"
They started destroying the badniks one by one. The elevators only seemed to stop on certain floors so once they got to the top of one they had to get out and use the other, located on the other side of the building of course. All sorts of traps and badniks filled the floors of the base but were easily passed. The six soon found themselves on the 25th floor, standing in front of a big office doorway.
"This must be the place. Vector you ready, after 3. 1, 2, 3", said Big as the two smashed into the door as he said 3. More badniks filled the gigantic office but they were no match for the six heroes. They moved closer to the big chair at the other side of the main desk.
The chair turned round to reveal a two-tailed fox, with black stripes and a lot of metal armour. He had some sort of gun attached to both of his wrists.
"Tails?" asked Amy
"How dare you make fun of my mutation! I'm Miles Prower and I own this company", said the fox.
"No I meant are you Tails, as in Sonic the Hedgehog's sidekick Miles "Tails" Prower?" asked Amy.
"Amazing coincidence, but no I'm not this Tails person", said Miles.
"Wait! You're the person we're meant to be saving. This doesn't make any sense", said Espio.
"I think I'm beginning to understand", said Vector.
"So Miles, do you know anything about this Chao disease?" asked Amy. Miles laughed
"Know anything about it? My dear, I created it", said Miles.
"Then you know how to cure it. Tell me, NOW!" shouted Amy jumping on the desk, holding her hammer as if to strike Miles.
"Calm down Amy. Mr Miles, sir, could you help us please?" asked Cream, "My Chao friends Cheese and Chocola are going to die if you don't"
"Wait a minute, why did you create the Chao disease in the first place?" asked Vector.
"It doesn't matter. Probably Eggman hired him or made him do it. The important thing right now is to bring him to me", said Mr. X over the radio.
"But we need him to heal the sick chao", said Amy.
"I don't care, I just want my grandpa safe back home as soon as possible. If you don't bring him back immediately you can forget about getting paid", said Mr. X.
"Well that settles it. Amy you'll have to wait until he's back home", said Vector.
"But we need him now. Every minute wasted is another Chao killed", said Amy.
"If we wait any longer we wont get paid", said Vector, "You'll have to wait".
"No if we take you out first", said Amy bringing out her hammer again.
"So you want to fight to decide who gets Miles. Ok bring it on", said Vector.
The Chaotix detectives and the Rose Petals began to fight and Miles simply smiled. Looking on in the vents above them was Metal Sonic and Mighty.
"Excellent, everything is going according to plan", said Metal Sonic.
The Chaotix detectives stood panting, as did the Rose petals. Each team was equally as good as the other. Miles jumped on the table and pulled out a remote control.
"Well it's been fun watching you two teams go head to head, but it's time to end all this. Metal Sonic needs to copy your data you know", said Miles pressing a button.
"What!" shouted Amy before the floor electrocuted all 6 heroes.
"Pathetic, just like the other two teams", said Miles pressing the button to shut it off. All 6 lay on the floor unconscious.
"Excellent work Miles", said Metal Sonic, "This shouldn't take long".
Suddenly Vector started moving, moaning in pain.
"Mighty take care of him", said Metal Sonic.
"Right!" said Mighty picking up Vector. Vector opened his eyes slightly.
"Mighty?" asked Vector in a soft voice. Mighty immediately reacted by punching vector knocking him out.
"Poor fool. He has no idea what's really happening", said Mighty.
"Did you know him?" asked Miles.
Yes he, those two and myself used to be a team of detectives. We called ourselves the Chaotix crew. One day we were sent to protect the Chaos rings from Eggman. During that time we met the Metal Emperor, a suped up version of Metal Sonic. I defeated him alone but ended up trapped within the Emperor. They must've assumed I was dead or something. I was taken prisoner and brought to Eggman's most secret of secret bases. There I remained, trapped for years until he gave me this mind control crown and made me fight among you guys. I am now part of Eggman's Elite and enjoying every minute of it. They are nothing compared to us.
"Looks like we have more in common than I thought", said Miles.
"Right that's me. All I need now is the power of Chaos", said Metal Sonic.
"And where do we get that?" asked Mighty.
"Their home, the beach", said Metal Sonic pointing at the Rose Petals, "There we should find a special Chao and a small animal that once got posessed by the old Master emerald guardian, Chaos."
"Ok then what are we waiting for?" asked Miles, let's go. The three left the room.
While all this was going on the Sonic heroes had arrived at the Casino City base. They entered it just like the Chaotix detectives and the Rose Petals, unaware that they lay unconscious 25 floors above them. It wasn't hard for them to reach the top since the other two teams had done most of the work. They arrived at the top just as Eggman's Elite were leaving.
"Metal!" shouted Sonic, "Stop right there"
"Ah the Sonic heroes! What took you guys so long? For the fastest hedgehog on Earth it sure took you some time to get from Rouge's Mansion", said Metal Sonic.
"Before we wipe the floor with ya, tell us where the Master emerald is right now!" said Knuckles rather angrily.
"Forget you Knuckles I want to ask Miles some questions", said Tails.
"Now isn't the time. I'm one step away from becoming the Metal Overlord again. Miles give me the Emerald and grab hold", said Metal Sonic. Miles gave his the grey Chaos Emerald.
"That's a Chaos Emerald. Oh no! Get them quick", shouted Sonic immediately followed by a dash towards Eggman's elite.
"CHAOS CONTROL!" Shouted Metal Sonic before disappearing in a green aura.
"What? Metal Sonic can use Chaos control?" asked Knuckles.
"They have Sonic and Shadow's data, it's only reasonable to conclude he can do exactly the same things as them", said Tails.
Suddenly a soft groan could be heard from the office. The Sonic heroes proceeded to investigate and were horrified to see the other two teams just waking up, from what looked like an intense fight.
"Amy? Vec? What happened here?" asked Sonic.
"We had an argument over a Miles Prower that led to a fight. We both stopped for a breather and then suddenly the floor electrocuted us", said Amy.
"I saw them. I saw Metal Sonic but worse I saw Mighty", said Vector.
"WHAT? MIGHTY!" Said Espio and Charmy together, "He's alive?"
"I had just enough stamina to get up after the electrocution but he finished me off", said Vector, "What's going on is Metal Sonic collecting out data again?"
"We think so. The Eggman Elite has already got ours, Shadow, Rouge and Omega's data as well. We had a fight as well which ended in the same way", said Sonic.
"You sure it's Mighty? Why would he attack you guys?" asked Knuckles.
"I don't know, but I'm going to find out", said Vector
"Oh no! I just realised something", said Cream.
"What?" asked Sonic.
"Metal Sonic absorbed the data of Chocola chao…" said Cream
"AND FROGGY!" shouted Big
"And we left them back at the hut", said Amy
"Well we know where they went to then", said Sonic, "Everybody, to the beach"
The nine heroes left the base and out of nowhere a big robot slowly hovered down to the ground. It dropped slowly with its feet firmly on the ground. It looked like Omega but slightly bigger and had grey where Omega had red. On it's right arm was the code E-124. On it's left was a strange symbol that looked like an Alpha symbol that turned into an X.
"You guys keep back, we'll take care of this thing", said Sonic.
"I am E-124 Alpha X. I have been sent to destroy all 9 of you and Shadow's team", said the robot
"So Eggman decided to just start the Greek alphabet again. How sad", said Tails
"Another E series robot. Come on guys; let's take this thing out quickly. Every minute away from the Master Emerald is a potential crash for Angel Island. I won't let that happen again", said Knuckles.
The Sonic Heroes began a rather one-sided fight with Alpha X. Perhaps if the robot had been fighting one of them it might've stood a chance but not against all 3 Heroes. Alpha X fell to the ground, sparking wildly.
"Eggman's slipping. These E series robots aren't exactly evolving are they?" asked Tails.
"We don't have time, Alpha X has been defeated and we need to get you Amy's hut. Here we go", said Sonic running off into the distance.
"Hey wait for us", said the other 8 heroes running off after him.
E-124 Alpha X stayed there sparking before getting back up to it's feet.
"Initiating Recovery mode", said Alpha X as a white light shone on him. The sparks stopped, the dents gone, it was as if he was brand new.
"Sonic Heroes moves captured. Upgrading software", said Alpha X. Soon a light on his left arm lit up. There were 3 more lights but they were off.
Just then Team Ultimate walked into the courtyard.
"Looks like we missed them", said Shadow, "But look a present. Another Eggman robot to destroy". Alpha X moved over to them.
"Shadow the Hedgehog, Rouge the bat, E-123 Omega, I am E-124 Alpha X. I have been sent here to destroy all 12 heroes", said Alpha X.
"E-124? How can this be, I am the last of the E-series", said Omega.
"You are now obsolete. I am first of a new line of E-series robots", said Alpha X
"So Eggman has made a new E-series. Doesn't matter I am still the ultimate E-series Robot", said Omega, "Let me show you why"
This began another fight, this time between Team Ultimate and Alpha X. It was less one-sided than the fight with the Sonic Heroes but Team Ultimate still won. Omega's Guns shattered Alpha X's armour, Shadow left some serious dents on him and to finish it off Rouge sliced it in two using The Annemuir.
"How pathetic", said Shadow.
"This is meant to be an advanced version of me, ha!" said Omega, "I am the Ultimate E-series Robot"
"So where do we go now?" asked Rouge.
"Last time Metal Sonic needed the Chaos data from Chocola chao and Froggy. They are most likely to be at Amy's Beach hut on Beautiful Beach", said Omega.
"Then that's where we are going", said Shadow, "follow me."
Just as they were leaving they heard a familiar voice talk behind them.
"Initiating Recovery mode", said Alpha X. With a white light the two parts of Alpha X merged back into one and all it's holes and dents disappeared. Alpha X repaired itself.
"Ok now that's impressive", said Rouge.
"No big deal, we take it out again right", said Shadow.
"Ultimate team moves captured", said Alpha X as a second light joined the one of his arm.
"If we destroy it again wont it just heal itself again?" asked Rouge.
"Good point. Perhaps we should run and find out more about it from Eggman", said Shadow.
The other two nodded and ran away towards the beach. Alpha X followed and blocked their path using a jet. Shadow, Omega and Rouge slid to a halt as Alpha X got out its machine gun and started firing bullets at the 3 Rogues. Rouge and Omega ran off to its side as Shadow jumped straight up. Rouge got out the Annemuir and struck at Alpha X, but it responded by changing one arms gun into a blade and blocking.
Meanwhile bullets were hitting Omega and it was his turn to find himself covered in holes and dents. Shadow noticed this and grabbed Rouge. He ran to Omega getting out his green chaos emerald.
"Rouge! Grab Omega", said Shadow grasping his emerald. Alpha X turned and aimed at them. Rouge Grabbed Omega just as the first bullet was fired.
"Chaos Control!" shouted Shadow as a green aura surrounded them. Then with a bright green flash they disappeared. Alpha X stopped firing bullets and turned his gun hands into regular hands.
"Dr. Eggman this is E-124 Alpha X reporting. I have fought the Sonic Heroes and Team Ultimate like you asked me to. I have their moves recorded and damaged E-123 Omega", said Alpha X
"Excellent work. My Elite team is heading to Amy's hut on the beach to get the Chaos data Metal Sonic needs to become the overlord. Go over there and challenge the other two teams", said Eggman's voice coming from a speaker on Alpha X's body.
"Affirimative", said Alpha X before leaving Casino City and heading to Amy's hut on Beautiful Beach.
