We're coming to the end of this fic and oddly I haven't got much to say this time. I thought that I'd use this area to explain where the idea of Nemesis came from. One of the best bits of Amy's story in Sonic Adventure was Zero's persuit. I wanted that to be continued in the form of nemesis but ended up instead having it fight each team. By now Eggman's Elite and Nemesis have faced each of the other four teams and fought each other. The Security Robot was added at the last minute to give Chaotix and Rogues the same amount of fights as the other two teams (Sonic Heroes face the Egg Gorilla twice. Once in the arena, then once running down the center tunnel of the core).

Chapter 10
While the fight happened at the top of the core, the Ultimate Rogues had found themselves inside the Battle Control room. Nearby a robot lay in ruins near a console where the Master Emerald lay.
"This must be what's keeping this thing up", said Rouge, "Wow the Master Emerald is big"
"Obviously we're missing all the action. We should've gone left at that Junction", said Shadow.
"Don't worry sugar. We take this thing and not only do I finally get my hands on the Master Emerald, but this whole thing crashes back on Earth. We stop Eggman and then go after Miles", said Rouge.
"Strange activity happening in the area. Identifying source. Identification complete. That Robot over there is still active", said Omega.
Sure enough the Security Robot was repairing and preparing itself for another battle. It stood facing the Rogues.
"For the Glory of the Eggman Empire. I cannot allow you three intruders to touch that Emerald", said the Security Robot.
"Sorry, it's not as if you have a choice", said Shadow, "If we have to destroy you so be it"
The Security Robot dashed into the Rogues and threw them back in the tunnel. As the Robot left the Battle Control Room the entrance closed.
"We want to get back in there right?" asked Shadow.
"Of Course. Chaos Control?" asked Rouge.
"Now where would the fun be in that", said Shadow, "Hey Robot, there's no time for games. Back off!!".
The Rogues dashed into the Security Robot starting a surprisingly even fight. Eventually they won and the Robot collapsed into the ground again.
"Is that it? Omega he's not going to come back is he?" asked Rouge. Omega scanned the robot.
"Unfortunately my scans show an Apocolypse fragment in this thing too. We could get inside the Battle Control Room with Chaos Control but is it really worth it?" asked Omega.
"What do you mean?" asked Rouge.
"It's only the Master Emerald. Even if you did get it you'd still have to fight Knuckles. And Besides our real goal is the rescue of Miles for Eggman's Mind Control", said Omega.
"Right. So we should go back and go down the path we didn't take", said Shadow. Rouge Sighed.
"I suppose so. Lead the way Shadow", Said Rouge. The Rogues left heading back towards the core.
Meanwhile the Chaotix Detectives had found themselves at a dead end. Their tunnel looked like it led to a room but the door was locked. A sign above it read "Battle Control Room".
"Now what Vec?" asked Charmy.
"We head back. We can't get in there so our only option is to go the same way Sonic went", said Vector.
Just then Nemesis had walked down the tunnel. It froze when it saw the Chaotix Detectives. The Chaotix Detectives also froze for a second. Then they all smiled.
"Another Eggman Robot. This one's a big one as well boys", said Vector. Nemesis moved closer to the Detectives.
"We're surprised you three are here. Let us introduce ourselves, we are Nemesis", said Alpha Nemesis.
"We?" asked Espio.
"The combination of E-101 Beta, E-124 Alpha X and Zero", said Alpha Nemesis.
"Oh how nice. A robot with multiple personalities", said Espio, "Do I have to ask Vec?"
"Of Course not. Any Eggman Robot is worth destroying", said Vector, "Come on boys, let's show him what we're made of"
Nemesis Laughed, "You think you can destroy me. The Ultimate Rogues and The Sonic Heroes could not", said Beta Nemesis.
"But they must've beat ya. It wasn't all that long ago we were talking to Sonic", said Charmy.
"Enough talk!" said Espio, "Let me show you my Ultimate Ninja Power".
The fight between Nemesis and the Chaotix detectives started with Espio throwing several Ninja stars at its chest. The fight was fairly even with the Chaotix detectives holding an edge.
"Well done boys. Now lets head back to the core", said Vector, "Espio lead the way".
"What about Nemesis?" asked Charmy pointing to the fallen Nemesis.
"It's obvious we can't destroy it. With those weird orbs in Alpha X the thing will just regenerate. Best to get out of here while we can", said Vector.
The Chaotix Detectives left as Nemesis was getting back up. The door to the Battle Control Room opened with the Security Robot standing in the doorway.
"Intruder identified. Subject Nemesis", said the Security Robot, "Subject ally to Eggman Empire".
"Oh and who might you be?" asked Nemesis
"I am the Security Robot assigned to protecting the Battle Control Room", said the Security Robot.
"Battle Control Room. Say does that allow access to the security cameras?" asked Zero Nemesis
"What are you planning Zero?" asked Alpha Nemesis.
"The Cameras will show the location of Amy Rose. She is all I've thought about since I've been created. Chasing her down the halls of Twinkle Park, Final Egg and Hot Shelter, fighting her on the Egg Carrier, all led to one thing. Her destroying my old body", said Zero Nemesis, "I want revenge!"
"What about the other teams?" asked Beta Nemesis.
"Amy first. I've waited patiently haven't I?" asked Zero Nemesis.
"I suppose so. So Secutity Robot does this room have access or not?" asked Alpha Nemesis.
"Of Course", said the Security Robot.
The Security Robot led Nemesis to the central computer in the Battle Control Room. The screens showed the Sonic Heroes fighting Eggman, the Rose Petals and Eggman's Elite going head to head, the Ultimate Rogues heading towards the Petals and the Elite, and the Chaotix Detectives heading towards the arena with nothing in their way.
"Seems like those Detectives have no-one stopping them. Why don't you go after them while we go after the Rose Petals. Then we'll tell Eggman's Elite to take care of the Rogues", said Alpha Nemesis.
"I don't know. Why should I leave my post? Furthermore why should I take orders from you?" asked the Security Robot.
"Because we all have to do out bit for the Eggman Empire. I'm sure if Dr. Robotnik was here he would say the same thing", said Alpha Nemesis. The Security Robot took a moment to calculate their proposition.
"Agreed. Just make sure you destroy those pests", said the Security Robot.
The Security Robot left the Battle Control Room heading towards the Chaotix Detectives. Then Nemesis left heading towards the Rose Petals.
Meanwhile the Rose Petals and Eggman's Elite stopped fighting for a moment. Both teams were exhausted after having a rather even fight. Suddenly a loud crash could be heard from the arena.
"Well it sounds like Sonic has won", said Metal Sonic, "We can stop this fighting for now"
"Huh? I don't understand", said Amy.
"Simple. Why waste energy on your three when we were only told to hold you back?" said Metal Sonic.
Just then the Rogues closely joined the two teams.
"You three again?" asked Metal Sonic.
"Miles? You've aged terribly. Oh wait, you're 62 aren't you? Then you don't look half bad", said Shadow.
"Thanks Shadow. But you're acting as if this is the first time you've seen me since the freezing", said Miles.
"It is. That other Shadow was just a very well made Robot", said Shadow.
"Get out of our way children. Let the grown ups handle this", said Rouge to the Rose Petals. Amy looked as if she was about to explode anger.
"Children! CHILDREN!" shouted Amy.
"Miles we're here to free you from this torment. Those are Gerald's Mind Control Crowns I knew it", said Shadow.
"You wish to free Miles? How illogical. You know you'll never get close enough to take it off his head", said Metal Sonic.
"Listen bolt brain. That there is my best friend next to Maria. About 50 years ago Miles, a bat named Joz and myself teamed up to fight Gerald Robotnik. We were known as the 3 Shadows", said Shadow.
"And even though my grandpa can only be here in spirit. He is here to fight with Shadow and hopefully reunite them Shadows. We've met those crowns before so we know what we're up against. Nothing is going to stop us", said Rouge, "Dammit Grandpa get out of my head!"
"Wait a minute what are we supposed to do?" asked Amy.
Just as Amy finished that question it was soon answered as Nemesis caught up with them.
"Don't worry Amy. We'll take care of you", said Zero Nemesis.
"Elite, take you keep the Rogues busy. We have unfinished business with the other three", said Alpha Nemesis.
"Hey! Just because Eggman's busy with the Sonic Heroes doesn't give you the right to boss us around", said Metal Sonic.
"What's the matter Metal? You scared of us or something? You want to fight the weak children?" asked Shadow sarcastically.
"It's not that. I just don't like being ordered by a low level machine", said Metal Sonic, "If that's the way you want it then fine".
"Weak Children? WEAK CHILDREN? We'll show you why you shouldn't underestimate us. We'll take out Nemesis for good. Something you guys couldn't do", said Amy angrily.
Nemesis laughed, "Very funny Amy. I wonder what your words taste like, perhaps you'll tell me just before we kill you", said Zero Nemesis.
The Rose Petals dashed past Nemesis; Nemesis turned and chased the Rose Petals down the corridor.
"We knew it was a bluff. You can run Amy but you can't hide", said Zero Nemesis. The Rose Petals brought them down to the tunnel out of/into the core.
"Big you get yourself anchored somewhere. You'll know why when it happens", said Amy, "Cream get yourself beside that switch. I'm pretty sure it closes these shutters".
Amy stood pointing at shutters that looked like they sealed the core from the tunnel. Nemesis caught up with them.
"Hey Nemesis. It's me you want, over here slowpoke", said Amy. Amy led Nemesis down the tunnel to a section with glass windows. Nemesis completely ignored the other petals, it was too obsessed with getting revenge on Amy. Amy dashed past Nemesis so she was between Big and Nemesis. She grasped her hammer tightly and smiled.
"Now we have you", said Zero Nemesis, "Why are you smiling?"
"Let me show you. Big, Cream get ready to fish me back into the core and seal this tunnel", said Amy.
"Running away again. Sounds like a good plan but those Shutters won't hold is back", said Zero Nemesis.
"No, but this will", said Amy. Amy smashed her hammer into the glass window. A huge vacumm filled the tunnel as Big's line snagged on Amy. Nemesis was sucked through the hole out into space.
"Now Cream!" shouted Amy as Big brought Amy back into the core. Amy passed through the shutters as they closed not only sealing the tunnel from the core, but over the tunnel completely. This made sure Nemesis couldn't return at all.
"That takes care of that loser", said Amy, "Now let's go help Sonic".
Meanwhile, as the Ultimate Rogues fought Eggman's Elite and the Sonic Heroes fought the Egg Gorilla, The Chaotix Detectives were about to meet their next challenge. The Security Robot had caught up with them.
"Stop right there Chaotix Detectives", said the Security Robot.
"Oh great another big robot. How many more are we going to have to fight?" asked Charmy.
"Well let's get this over with boys", said Vector. Vector led the assault on the Security Robot who proved to be quite a handful for them. The Detectives won by pushing the robot back into the Battle Control Room and sealing it inside. After a loud crash the door opened to show the Security Robot had been crushed by something much bigger.
Meanwhile the battle between Eggman's Egg Gorilla and the Sonic Heroes had intensified. The Machine could create powerful shockwaves with its huge arms, and its laser was difficult to dodge. They managed it however and halfway through the fight the Egg Gorilla retreated down the core's central tunnel. The Sonic Heroes followed the Egg Gorilla and finished it off inside the tunnel. It dropped into the Battle Control Room and blew up. It took out the Security Robot with it.
The Ultimate Rogues stood above the fallen Eggman's Elite. Shadow removed the crown from Miles as Omega removed the crown from Mighty. Metal Sonic got up and saw it all. He realised he was alone now and it would be suicide to keep fighting them. Metal Sonic retreated to the Battle Control Room. The Ultimate Rogues followed with Rouge and Omega carrying Miles and Mighty respectively.
The Rose Petals also ran towards the Battle Control room after hearing the Egg Gorilla crashing into bottom of the core. Meanwhile Eggman regained consciousness and saw that the Sonic Heroes had turned their backs on him.
Perhaps now is the time to awaken Apocolypse.
