Apocolypse's Revival: A Sonic Heroes Story.

Chapter 5

The Sonic Heroes and the Rose Petals headed through the Hot Shelter. Once a place of heavy robotic activity now lay as quiet as a mouse. Perhaps it was a trap, waiting until they got further in to ambush them. No ambush came but they did reach a fork in their path.

"Great, which way to you want to go Amy?" asked Sonic.

"Erm, left", replied Amy.

"Ok then, we're going right", said Sonic.

"Oh come on Sonic, don't leave me again", said Amy.

"Sorry but it'll be better this way. Here take a radio", said Sonic handing Amy a Radio.

"If you see anything let us know", said Sonic.

"Oh! Alright, but when this is over we're getting married and I'm not taking no for an answer", said Amy. Sonic shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't you ever give up?" asked Sonic, "Come on Tails, Knuckles, we're going this way".

The Sonic Heroes went right; The Rose petals went left.

Meanwhile Team Ultimate and The Chaotix Detectives were exploring Eggman's old Bridge.

"You know I've been thinking," said Rouge.

"Well there's a first time for everything", said Shadow.

"Hey! Anyway as I said I've been thinking about out team name. Team Ultimate doesn't sound right", said Rouge.

"But Ultimate should be in the name somewhere", said Shadow, "How about The Ultimate Rogues".

"Perfect. First the 3 Shadows now the Ultimate Rogues, you come up with the best names Shadow", said Rouge. Shadow smiled back.

"Hey look a computer, maybe it's still hooked up to Eggman's network", said Rouge. Rouge dashed over to the computer and began hacking into it. The other 5 quickly gathered round the screen.

"Your telling me we can examine Eggman's computer files from here. That's great", said Vector.

"Yep, and I'm already inside. Eggman doesn't do much to secure his files", said Rouge.

"Except keep his only computers linked to his system in heavily armed fortresses", said Shadow.

"What have you found out then Rouge?" asked Vector.

"Oh no! This is bad!" said Rouge.

"What?" asked Vector.

"Alpha X is only the first off 24 new E-series Robots", said Rouge.

"I thought so, but why is that bad? It's not as if Eggman makes all the E-series robots at once", said Omega.

"I'm afraid that is the case. Somewhere in Eggman's base lie 23 more of those things", said Rouge.

"Doesn't matter how many there are I'll destroy them all", said Omega.

"Wait there's more. Remember the Shadow clone army we saw, well they're in Eggman's new base as well", said Rouge.

"An Army of stubborn sonic speed hedgehogs. Yikes! One Shadow is bad enough", said Vector.

"Speak for yourself loudmouth! Anyway have you found the location of Eggman's new base?" asked Shadow.

"Not yet, Oh! Eggman's Elite is sent to gather our data, but it won't tell me why. It does say however that they are in fact still here and Alpha X is on his way", said Rouge, "Not only to fight the other two teams but Eggman's Elite as well".

"That doesn't make any sense. Unless Eggman wants Alpha X to record their moves too", said Vector.

"Ah here it is. Eggman's new base, Mother Egg. It's a new space station so big it's being sent into space in parts. The Core, which is twice the size of Ark, will connect with 4 other sections, labelled A, B, D and E. C, the core is located within polar panic, the southern most point in the world", said Rouge.

"Anything else?" asked Vector.

"Yes, they need the Master Emerald to raise the core, but it says here the Emerald has not been obtained by him yet. A, B, D, and E are scattered around the world. A's in a huge volcano, B's within a Metal Metropolis, D sits in the middle of Frantic Forest, and E sits in Rail Rivine", said Rouge, "He plans for Sonic's team to head to A, Vec's team to E, Amy's team to D and us to B".

"Well it looks like we have our objective. If he wants a fight he'll get one", said Shadow.

"We better tell Sonic and Amy", said Vector.

"Wait, there's still another file. This one is heavily protected, it might take a while to hack into it. All I can tell you now is that it's labelled Apocolypse", said Rouge.

"How long will it take you to hack into the file?" asked Vector.

"Could take all day", said Rouge.

"Well you better start now", said Vector.

Meanwhile the Sonic Heroes had reached the end of their tunnel; waiting for them was Eggman's Elite.

"What took you so long Sonic?" asked Metal Sonic.

"You kept running and hiding from us, remember?" said Sonic.

"Well that's all over, as is your life", said Metal Sonic dashing towards Sonic.

"Alright bring it on!" Said Sonic.

As Eggman's Elite and the Sonic Heroes fought the Rose petals also reach the end of their path. Waiting for them was Alpha X.

"I suppose it's time for us to fight ya!" said Amy, "Cream, Big let's show this heap of metal what we're made of".

The Rose petals fought Alpha X as the Sonic heroes fought Eggman's Elite. The Sonic heroes and Eggman's Elite stopped panting and sweating (Metal Sonic was sparking).

"Now, tell us where is the Master Emerald?" Shouted Knuckles.

"HA HA! You idiot, it never left the Island. We knew if we tried to take it as you were there, you'd simply use your sixth sense to find it and Eggman's base. We still needed your data so we told you Rouge had it in the hopes you'd fight Shadows team. Which you did", said Metal Sonic.

"Just what is Eggman up to anyway. Why are you collecting our data?" asked Sonic.

"To be honest, I don't know. Eggman has some top-secret plans that even we don't know about. We've been told to fight Alpha X", said Metal Sonic.

"That doesn't make any sense!" said Sonic angrily, "What the hell is going on?"

"Wait a minute, you mean the Master Emerald is still on Angel Island?" asked Knuckles.

"Yes, under a special stealth barrier. But I doubt it'll stay that way", said Miles.

"Let me guess you made it?" asked Tails

"Yep!" said Miles.

Suddenly a radio started beeping.

"Metal! I have a new assignment for you. Someone is hacking into my network. They must be up in the Bridge. Stop them, they're about to open my most top-secret file", said Eggman

"Eggman! What's going on?" asked Sonic.

"Oh Sonic you're here are you? Well just wait a little longer, I'm about to make a big announcement regarding Mother Egg", said Eggman.

"Mother egg?" asked Sonic

"Yes. Head towards the place where you fought Chaos 6, all will be revealed there", said Eggman.

"This isn't over Metal. We'll take you down soon", said Sonic.

"Oh believe me I know it's not over. But now I have a mission to take care off. See you on the deck slowpoke", said Metal before blasting off towards the deck, holding Miles and Mighty's hands.

"Slowpoke? When I get my hands on him I'll…" said Sonic angrily.

"Later. Let's get back to the bridge", said Tails.

"What about Angel Island?" asked Knuckles.

"If he's about to make an announcement he'll be in his base. After the announcement we'll head back to the shrine", said Tails.

"Agreed. Here we go!" said Sonic grabbing the other two's hands.

Meanwhile the Rose petals had beaten Alpha X.

"Ha! You were supposed to be a challenge", said Amy.

"Now what Amy?" asked Cream.

"Back to the deck. No doubt Sonic will be back there by now", said Amy. The other two nodded and they headed back towards the bridge.

Suddenly Alpha X began lighting up again. A third light appeared on his arm.

"Rose moves recorded. Initiating Recovery mode", said Alpha X.

"Alpha X, return to the Deck imediately", said Eggman over a radio.

"Affirmative", said Alpha X before jetting past the Rose petals.

"But how? We smashed it to pieces?" said Amy puzzled.

"Looks like it's heading to the deck, let's go", said Cream.

"Right!" Said Amy, "Follow me".

Meanwhile Rouge had been hacking into the Apocolypse file but finding nothing but dead ends. Then suddenly the computer went dead.

"What happened?" asked Shadow

"Eggman must know we're here", said Rouge. Suddenly Eggman appeared on the screen.

"Rouge! I should've known you rogues were up to something", said Eggman.

"Rogues huh! Hey thanks for that I think we have a new team name", said Rouge, "Shadow, Omega what do you think of the name Ultimate Rogues".

"Now that is a name to be proud of", said Shadow.

"I agree a worthy name", said Omega.

"Hey you fools I was about to tell you something important. Move down to where the others are going. I have an announcement to make to the whole world and I would like you 6 to see it", said Eggman.

"Should we do as he says?" asked Vector.

"Well I can't do anything from here. Might as well see what's going on", said Rouge.

The two teams ran to the Chaos 6 battlefield, soon came Eggman's Elite, The Sonic Heroes, The Rose Petals and Alpha X.

"Hey what the hell?" asked Vector, "Eggman's Elite and Alpha X not attacking us".

"All in good time", said Metal Sonic, "But we too have been called here by our boss Eggman".

"It's true. They have no idea what's really go on either", said Sonic.

"Perhaps it has something to do with Mother Egg. A new huge space station that needs to be brought up in pieces", said Rouge.

"Another Space station? When will he learn no matter how big you build it I'll still take down any space station he makes", said Sonic.

Suddenly a Massive screen appeared in front of them. On it was Eggman in front of his Eggman Empire screen.

Citizens of Earth, I Dr Eggman, the greatest scientific genius in the world, present to you my latest big weapon. In 24 hours I will launch 5 massive fortresses, each with a cannon like before. Only this one will turn an area of my choice into technology that I will control. I would rather rule it as it is but if you don't surrender I'll take your will by force. In 24 hours you'll need to decide whether you surrender to me or face the Mother Egg and the Gatling techno cannon. I await your decision.

A countdown began and Eggman finished the broadcast with a maniacal laugh.

"Five Cannon's each with a cannon that transforms an area into technology", said Tails, "He's hiding something".

"What do you mean?" asked Sonic.

"Isn't it obvious. He's getting plenty of data on us, enough to create another Metal Overlord", said Tails.

"Then there's the Shadow army, the new E-series and this Apocolypse thing", said Vector.

"I see what ya getting at now. But couldn't they just be something to keep us busy?" said Sonic.

"Perhaps but we do know what he's going to do next", said Knuckles, "He's going after the Master Emerald"

"That's right! We need to get there to stop him taking the Emerald", said Tails.

"Ok here we go!" said Sonic.

"Hold it! What makes you think we're going to let you leave", said Metal Sonic. Tails sighed and got out a remote control.

"How do you think we're going to get to Angel Island?" asked Tails. Suddenly the Tornado 2 flew above them and landed. The Sonic heroes jumped into the plane.

"You may be tough but I doubt you'd last 5 minutes against my Tornado 2", said Tails.

The Tornado 2 took off from the battlefield. Metal Sonic grabbed hold of Mighty and Miles and flew off after them.

"We can't let them get to Angel Island", said Metal Sonic. Amy suddenly realised they needed Miles and he was gone.

"Argh! We still need Miles. Right Rose petals we know where to go next. Off to Angel Island", said Amy.

"Right, but how do we get there?" asked Big.

"We'll need to hire a plane. Come on back to the city", said Amy. The Rose Petals left heading back to the city.

"So what are we going to do?" asked Shadow.

"We still have unfinished business", said Omega.

"That's right Alpha X!" said Rouge.

"I've scanned it, it has two glowing orbs that I think give him the ability to heal", said Omega.

"But it looks like it has it's sights on those 3", said Shadow.

Rouge and Omega turned around to see The Chaotix Detectives taking on Alpha X. Strangely the managed to defeat it pretty easily.

"I don't believe it! Wait I got it. He was so strong against us cause he knew our moves. He now has all 4 teams data and if it recovers…" said Shadow.

"Already on it", said Rouge dashing towards the fallen Alpha X. She sliced it in two again and found the two glowing orbs. She then sliced both orbs in two. Each bit fell and smashed into even more pieces.

"Try recovering now", said Rouge.

"So that's it for Alpha X then", said Shadow, "What now?"

"Well I remember being told about treasures that were lost within some of Angel Island's temples. We know that Eggman's Elite will go to Mother Egg and we know where we have to go. Let's take some time out to find some treasure", said Rouge.

"I suppose we do deserve a break. Let's go", said Shadow. The Ultimate Rogues left; heading towards the city to hire a plane that'll take them to Angel Island.

"Did you hear that boys, Hidden Treasure on Angel Island", said Vector.

"And I suppose like the Rogues we could take a break and find the treasure", said Espio.

"Yeah! Let's go look for the treasure. We could do with the money", said Charmy.

"Right you are Charmy. Then let's go", said Vector. They left for the city as well.
