Later on I say said Alpha Nemesis, or Gamma Nemesis. This simply means Alpha X and Gamma's voice spoken by Nemesis respectively.
A split in the paths here now.

Apocolypse's Revival: A Sonic Heroes Story.
Chapter 6
The Egg carrier was silent and dark. The empty vessel returned to its lifeless state with the only evidence of the teams being there being a pile of rubble on the big green platform. Suddenly knives of light cut the thick blanket of darkness. The orbs that were once in Alpha X started to repair themselves. The Metal remains of Alpha X, E-101 Beta Mark 2, E-102 Gamma and Zero began swirling around a great orb of light. A large metal robot stood in the center of the platform.
"Scanning local area. Scan complete. The Sonic heroes, The Ultimate Rogues, The Rose Petals, The Chaotic detectives and Eggman's Elite not found", said the Machine
"They must have left already", said the machine in another voice.
"Did they find out about the Mother Egg?" it said in another voice
"Probably. So we know where they are, where are we heading then?" it said in one more voice.
"I want revenge on Amy Rose for destroying me", said the 2nd voice.
"Patience Zero. All in good time. First we must contact Eggman and get out orders", said the 1st voice.
"Ok Alpha X, you're the only one with a link to Dr. Robotnik. What are you waiting for?" said Zero's voice.
"We are one now. What do you think we should call ourselves?" asked the 3rd Voice.
"Actually Beta I was thinking of calling ourselves Nemesis", said Alpha X's voice.
"Do you think it's wise to have joined with Gamma?" asked Beta, "After scanning his program I've found his only objective to be the destruction of the E-series"
"I was unaware of production of later E-series Robots, E-123 Omega is now on my list", said Gamma the 4th voice.
"Excellent. We all have a reason to chase down the Ultimate Rogues and The Rose Petals. We also need to get to Eggman's elite to finish copying their data", said Alpha X, "Wait I'm getting a signal from Dr. Robotnik now. Hello doctor, what are you orders?"
"What are you?" asked Eggman
"We are Nemesis. The combined power of Zero, E-101 Beta Mark II, E-102 Gamma and E-124 Alpha X. We await your command", said Alpha Nemesis
"This is turned out better than I hoped. Proceed to Angel Island and meet up with me at the Master Emerald shrine", said Eggman.
"Affirmative", said Alpha Nemesis.
Meanwhile above the mountains of Angel Island the Tornado 2 flies with the Sonic Heroes in it. The plane just seems to be currently hovering about the Mountain Madness Zone.
"Hey Guys in all the rush I should've realised something rather important. We can't get to the shrine this way", said Tails, "Or only option is to go back"
"That'll take too long. How about we get off here and run through the mountain pass", said Sonic.
"Fine by me. Let's just hurry up", said Knuckles.
The 3 jumped out of the plane and slid down the mountainside. Tails pressed a button on a remote control and the Tornado 2 flew off.
"What did you just do?" asked Sonic
"I sent it back to my workshop", said Tails, "If we need it again I'll call it back".
They stopped and looked ahead to see lots of Eggman's Robots.
"He's here already?" asked Knuckles, "We better hurry".
Meanwhile the Rose Petals had followed the Sonic Heroes to the mountains and jumped off their plane too. They had quite a lot of catching up to do if they wanted to join up with the Sonic Heroes.
While the Sonic Heroes and the Rose Petals raced through Mountain Madness and Red Rock. The other two teams were standing outside the Sandopolis desert. The Ultimate Rogues suddenly noticed the Chaotix Detectives were following them.
"Excuse me guys, what do you think you're doing following us?" asked Rouge.
"We're after the treasure in the pyramids. What do you think we'd just let you get it when we could get it ourselves?" asked Vector.
"Tell ya what. How about we make it a race to see who can find the treasure first?" asked Shadow.
"Fine by us Shadow. If you think you can keep up", said Vector.
"Keep up. I'm faster than Sonic! We'll see you at the finish line", said Shadow.
"Oh boy a race. But who's going to start it?" Asked Charmy.
"I'll start a countdown. At Zero go", said Omega, "3….2….1….GO!"
The two teams raced through the Speed Sandcastle and then through the Pyro Pyramid.
Meanwhile Eggman's Elite had also decended into the mountains to follow Sonic. They blasted through Mountain Madness and Red Rock and managed to pass both The Rose Petals and The Sonic Heroes along the way. They reached the Shrine first where Eggman was just about to take the Master Emerald.
Sonic sighed as they passed. He was too busy helping Amy who had fallen off the cliff and was hanging on for her life halfway down. Knuckles jumped off the cliff and grabbed hold of the wall next to Amy.
"Grab hold. I'll take you back to the top", said Knuckles.
"Quickly Knuckles. Any Minute now Eggman could get the Master Emerald", shouted Sonic. Knuckles quickly climbed up to the top of the cliff.
"Are you Ok Amy?" asked Sonic.
"Ye…" started Amy but was interrupted by Sonic running off towards the shrine at full speed. Amy got up and ran after them.
"Excellent my Elite! You're just in time. Looks like Sonic and Amy's teams have arrived as well. Fortunately they are too late", said Eggman grabbing the Master Emerald. Sonic ran as fast as he could, closely followed by Knuckles but it was no use. Just as they were about to jump to attack Eggman's ship the Island started to shake. Sonic and Knuckles lost their balance as Eggman got away with the Emerald.
"Damn it Amy, you slowed us down, as usual", said Sonic angrily.
"Hey! Sonic why are you being so mean to Amy?" asked Cream.
"It's because of her Eggman got away", said Sonic.
"With the Master Emerald", said Knuckles.
"You always get in my way. Just go home, we don't need you slowing us down", said Sonic.
"I don't like your attitude Sonic. Looks like you need to be taught a lesson", said Amy grasping her hammer tightly.
"Bring it on. We'll show you why were the Heroes and you're just second rate", said Sonic.
Eggman's Elite watched on as the two teams for no logical reason started fighting.
"How pathetic. I can't believe Sonic is so angry at failing to stop Eggman he's taking it out on Amy", said Miles.
"Well she shouldn't have put themselves in such a dangerous situation. If they had gotten here sooner they would've stopped Eggman, and they would've gotten here sooner if it wasn't for Amy", said Mighty
"Still. Fighting over that is foolish and irrational", said Miles.
"Foolish and irrational. The perfect words to describe all 6 of them", said Metal Sonic laughing.
Just then they were interrupted by Nemesis who had flown up to the shrine. The machine dashed towards Eggman's Elite.
"Who are you?" asked Metal Sonic.
"We are nemesis and we have unfinished business with you three. One of my four parts is Alpha X who still needs to record you data", said Alpha Nemesis.
"I guess we have no choice, those are the doctors orders. Ok Bring it on", said Metal Sonic.
Eggman's Elite fought Nemesis as the Sonic Heroes fought the Rose Petals. Meanwhile the Ultimate Rogues had found some treasure at the exact same time the Chaotix Detectives found it. They stood at opposite sides of a big room with the treasure in the middle, an equal distance away from both teams.
"Back off Vec, this treasure is ours", said Rouge.
"Over our dead bodies", said Vector.
"So be it", said Shadow dashing towards the Chaotix detectives. Epsio stopped him in his tracks using his ninja stars.
"Come on guys let's teach these losers a lesson", said Vector.
Now the Ultimate Rogues and The Chaotix Detectives started fighting too. Back at the shrine Amy had noticed Nemesis fighting Eggman's Elite.
"STOP!!!" She Screamed. The other 5 looked at Amy, each as puzzled as each other.
"Huh Amy? You can't just stop a fight because you're losing", said Sonic.
"But guys there's something you should see, look", said Amy pointing at Nemesis.
"Holy crap! What is that thing?" asked Tails.
"Another Eggman robot? Will he ever come up with something new?" asked Sonic.
Suddenly the fighting between Eggman's Elite and Nemesis had stopped to.
"Elite data recorded. Initiating Recovery mode", said Nemesis.
"So you have what you need now?" asked Metal Sonic, "Well then let's all head back to Mother Egg C"
"You go on ahead. I have some more unfinished business to take care of", said Zero Nemesis averting his attention to Amy.
"What about us Metal? Shouldn't we take out Sonic and co?" asked Mighty
"All in good time Mighty. But think about this logically. We've just had an intense fight, we are weak and so rest first", said Metal Sonic.
"I agree. Fighting them, even though they are also weak would be pointless, foolish and irrational", said Miles.
"So it's off to Polar panic then?" asked Mighty. Metal Sonic nodded and flew off towards Polar Panic soon followed by Mighty and Miles.
Back in Pyro Pyramid the Ultimate Rogues and the Chaotix Detectives were panting and sweating heavily. They were surprisingly evenly matched.
"You three are as bad as Knuckles you know. Just give up and let us take what's rightfully ours", said Rouge.
"Hey Rich girl how about sharing the wealth for a change. It's not as if you need another Mansion", said Vector.
"All the worlds gems belong to me!" shouted Rouge making a dash towards the detectives. Then suddenly she froze still.
"Not you aswell Rouge? I was hoping the obsession for Jewels wasn't heriditary", said Rouge, "Grandpa, what are you trying to say?… I'm saying that they have a point. Our family has always had it good and wealth isn't everything. Let it go and give them the treasure, they need it more than you do".
Suddenly they realised while they were fighting the room had filled with Sand and if they didn't get out soon they'd be crushed.
"Just our luck. We finally get some good money and we don't have enough time to collect it all", said Vector.
"Everyone grab what you can and then come here", said Shadow grasping his Emerald. The 5 took all they could of the treasure and stood in a circle, either touching Shadow or someone touching Shadow. Then they warped out of there using Chaos Control.
Outside the 2 teams piled together the treasure they collected and then without warning it all turned to sand. They all looked shocked.
"Well easy come easy go eh boys!" said Vector laughing. They all began laughing and shook hands.
"I haven't laughed that hard in ages", said Rouge, "Well come on guys, we're off to Metal Metropolis"
"See ya later. Come on boys, we're off to Rail Rivine", said Vector. The two teams split up and left Angel Island.
Meanwhile Nemesis had dashed and grabbed Amy. He shook her about and threw her to the ground. She was dragged along the floor by the force.
"That's strange. This new machine went straight for Amy", said Tails.
"Hey bolt brain! Over here Slowpoke! Aren't you meant to be fighting me?" asked Sonic
"I'm not fighting Amy under the doctors orders. I'm fighting for personal reasons", said Zero Nemesis. Then suddenly Nemesis froze.
"I won't let you hurt her", said Gamma Nemesis.
"That voice? Gamma?" asked Amy.
"Wait a minute, Rouge destroyed Alpha X next to the ruins of Gamma, Beta and Zero", said Tails.
"What are you trying to say?" asked Sonic.
"I think I get it too Tails. This thing is a combination of Zero, Beta, Gamma and Alpha X. The Zero side wants to kill me for destroying it on the Egg carrier while the Gamma side remembers me as a friend", said Amy.
"So their conflict is stopping this machine in it's tracks", said Sonic. Nemesis stood still.
"You figured it out. I am Nemesis and besides following Eggman we have out own objectives. Zero does want to get revenge on Amy and Gamma needs to destroy Omega, him being an E-series Robot", said Alpha Nemesis.
"Well don't you know there are 23 more new E-series Robots on Mother Egg somewhere?" asked Sonic
"There is?" asked Gamma Nemesis.
"Yes Gamma there is. My Orders were to capture all 5 teams data and copy the file into each of the new E X series robots", said Alpha Nemesis.
"So that's his real plan", said Sonic.
"I doubt it Sonic. Eggman is still planning to launch Mother Egg. He also has the Shadow Army and Metal Sonic collecting all the data", said Gamma Nemesis.
"Then there's that whole Apocolypse thing", said Tails, "Don't you know anything more about it Gamma?"
"None of us know anything about Apocolypse", said Gamma Nemesis.
"Why are you helping them Gamma?" asked Beta Nemesis.
"Because they are my friends", said Gamma Nemesis.
"Alpha, we need to do something about Gamma. With him on board he'll reveal all of Eggman's secrets and stop me from achieving my goal", said Zero Nemesis.
"Well let's go after Omega first. Once he's gone we'll expel Gamma and go after Amy", said Alpha Nemesis
"What?" said Gamma Nemesis.
"Sounds like a plan. Ok Amy, I can wait. Just remember, we will be back", said Zero Nemesis before flying off.
"What do you think we should do now?" asked Amy.
"I reckon we should all just go ahead with the split. Each go to where Eggman wants us to go", said Tails, "After all we have no other leads".
"But what about the other stuff?" asked Sonic.
"Well we'll just have to be careful. We don't know Eggman's real plan but we do know he is going to raise the Mother Egg and we'll find answers there", said Tails. They all nodded and headed off towards their destinations. The Sonic Heroes to the volcano and The Rose Petals to Frantic Forest.
