Chapter 4: Triple Chaos! Sonic's ancestor!
Sonic sat there in the back seat of the truck, holding Amy in his arms. His rage had calmed down a little, still mad at the beast Chaos, who now had 2 of the seven Chaos Emeralds. Amy cooed as Sonic patted her head.
"Sonic, thank you for saving me." She said, as the blue hedgehog petted her head.
Sonic smiled, "Anything for you Amy." He loved how his girl laid in his arms.
As the two lovebirds cuddled together, Shadow had his hand clenched, yet another emerald for the bad guys. Knuckles saw Sonic's dark rival mad and punched him in the shoulder lightly.
"Cheer up man," he said, "Chaos isn't going to get all eight."
"Who's to know? This Chaos is a lot more powerful then the last" Shadow said, with a cold expression on his face, "If he gets all of them, not even Super Sonic can destroy Chaos."
"Well, there might be a form that can beat Chaos is he gets all eight," Said Tails, Shadow and Knuckles looked at the young fox with a "What you talking bout" look. "Knuckles, you recall the events after we saved Angel Island the first time?" He asked his echidna friend.
"I think that Mecha Sonic was destroyed and that the Death Egg was destroyed as well, don't remember clearly." Knuckles said.
"Well, remember what happened when Sonic, me, and you collected the Super Emeralds? Well…" Tails thought for a while, wondering if it would be a good idea for him to mention the "Forgotten Forms". He thought it might be a good time to say it, and it was now.
But before Tails could say anything, there was a loud CRASH! The air bag hit Knuckles while the others were safely in their seats with the seat belts on. All 5 got out of the car, Sonic with the backpack with the Chaos Emeralds in there, looked at the engine.
"Goddamnit!" he said, "Smooth move Knuckle head!"
"Shut up!" Knuckles said, looking at the wreck that happened. The truck had slammed into a tree that was in the middle of the road.
"What's a tree doing in the middle of the road?" Shadow said as he brushed himself off.
"Sonic, we should get going" Tails said, his radar beeping madly.
"Right, come on guys we can't let that beast get the emeralds!" Sonic said, picking Amy up and running off.
The 5 began searching, Sonic and Amy in the lead. Shadow looked through the trees while Tails and Knuckles flew over them in the sky.
"Ok Tails, what could beat Chaos if he gets all eight?" the red echidna asked his friend.
"Well, don't say anything to Sonic or the others, but the only thing that can beat him is…" Tails swallowed before he gathered the courage to tell Knuckles. "Hyper Sonic" He said quickly.
Knuckles' response was just what Tails thought it would be. The two stopped in mid air to talk.
"Hyper Sonic?!" Knuckles asked, "But how?!" I mean…. the Super Emeralds can't leave Angel Island!" The echidna said.
"I know….but remember what Eggman said about the 8th emerald?" Tails said to the now shocked Knuckles. "Well, the Chaos and Super Emeralds together make Hyper Sonic, but since the Super Emeralds can't leave the island, Hyper Sonic can never be born again, BUT the 8th emerald has the power of all 7 Supers."
"Oh I get it," Knuckles said, "If Chaos takes all eight emeralds, then we can use all eight to form Hyper Sonic right?" all he got from Tails was a nod and frown
"But since Sonic hasn't been Hyper in so long, its gonna be tough for him. Remember Hyper Sonic was powerful, and he might not return even with the 8th emerald." Tails said.
"…That wasn't all was it? There was something else that I can't seem to remember…" says Knuckles, mostly to himself. Tails stops and begins thinking. There WAS something else that had happened on Angel Island, but he couldn't remember it either. All he knew was that it too had to do with the Super Emeralds.
Back on the ground, Sonic and Amy looked all over. Both kept an eye out for the Chaos Emerald they were looking for. Amy had gotten stronger and could keep up with Sonic's speed. Both looked and looked, until the backpack glowed.
"Sonic!" Amy said, pointing to his pack "The emeralds are glowing!" she said clapping her hands.
"You're right!" Sonic said, he knew that Amy was a smart girl. "Let's go find it!" he said.
The two hedgehogs looked around until they saw the red Chaos Emerald stuck in the ground. Sonic kneeled down and when he touched it, there was a bright flash. Sonic covered his eyes and when he removed his hand from his eyes. He saw the past again. Sonic looked around, he saw the echidna tribe burnt to the ground, and Tikal with a red hedgehog. Sonic ran up and watched the events of the past take place.
"Tikal, it must be done." He said, gathering what seemed to be all eight Chaos Emeralds in his arms.
"I know, but what if he is too powerful?" the female echidna asked.
The red hedgehog turned around. "Don't worry, we'll free him of his anger. Now, while I distract him, you get the Master Emerald ready." He said, sounding confidante.
"Please be careful Sky…" Tikal said as Sky's body began to glow, then there was a flash of white. Sonic opened his eyes; he was back in the present.
"Sonikku? Are you alright?!" Amy said, helping him up.
"Yeah, I think I just saw a vision…." He said, holding the red emerald.
"A vision?" Amy asked, "What kind?"
Sonic told Amy what he had just saw, as the two hedgehogs walked back to the others Knuckles saw that Sonic had what they were looking for. The red echidna was still deep in thought, Hyper Sonic wasn't the only thing they'd forgotten, but what else was there? Shadow however just leaned against a tree listening to the whole story without opening his eyes. Tails being a little kid seemed really interested in the story.
"Typical," Shadow said, "You see your great grandfather or something"
"You know Shadow, you've been a real jerk lately." Sonic said
"Whatever Sonic, you always get into these things, and now you have a beast out there that has two of the emeralds." Shadow said, not moving an inch.
Sonic grabbed Shadow by the collar, "Are you saying that its MY fault that he got them?! As I recall Shadow, YOU lost an emerald to him before me" the blue hedgehog said as his rival finally opened his eyes.
"I don't blame anyone for that, nor do I blame you about Chaos getting the Chaos Emeralds. Now, before we argue more, let's get out of here." Shadow said, still in a calm voice.
Before Sonic could say anything, a tree by them fell to the ground, there stood Chaos, this time even more menacing looking. His head had reverted to his fourth form head, his arms still with two Chaos Emeralds in there. This time, his chest was more powerful looking. In the middle was a Chaos Emerald, and in his hand being dragged by the head was….
"Rouge!?!" Knuckles said, rushing up to Chaos, but was smacked away by a claw of Chaos. Knuckles got up again and charged at Chaos, Sonic put the backpack down and ran up with Knuckles. Both of them attacked Chaos's arms, Sonic kicked the left while Knuckles punched the right. Chaos dropped Rouge to the ground as his arms were hit by the two teammates. Knuckles bent down and picked Rouge up, lifting her head.
"You ok?" He asked. Rouge slowly opened her eyes, and saw Knuckles's face, she blushed a bit and turned to face Chaos.
"He took my Chaos Emerald!" She said jumping out of Knuckles's arms.
"Ho ho ho!" The team heard from Dr. Eggman as he floated in his pod by Chaos. "This form my friends is something you've never seen before. I am proud to introduce Chaos 3!"
"Chaos 3?" Sonic said, taking a fight position, "We've never seen him around before!"
"That's because last time you fought his 4th form because I gave him 2 Chaos Emeralds to him when he was in second form." Eggman said, as the great beast rose to its full height, "Thanks to you Rouge, you've helped Chaos reach his third form!" He said as Chaos 3 threw his fist at the team.
"Incoming!" Sonic said as he, Knuckles, Shadow, and Rouge jumped out of the arm's way. Sonic landed on the ground and rolled up into a ball and charged at Chaos. Shadow landed behind him and rolled up into a ball as well and both hedgehogs hit Chaos at the same time. The two soon realized that Chaos was now even tougher, the aqua like creature just bounced them off with his powerful water body. Knuckles turn to attack, the echidna ran at Chaos and threw right hooks, left hooks, uppercuts and round house kicks at Chaos 3. Chaos dodged all but 3 hits and smacked Knuckles away from him.
Rouge flew into the air and spun around, she then aimed at Chaos and did her drill attack at him. She hit the beast with a powerful hit, but Chaos just got up and recovered from his wounds. Chaos then took both of his hands and double punched Rouge hard. Sonic got up and held a blue light in his hands. He threw it at Chaos shouting its name.
"Sonic Wind!" the blue hero yelled as the ball of light soon exploded into a powerful wind force at sonic speed. The blast hit Chaos dead on in the chest; this attack did a great deal of damage more then the last one. Shadow got up and threw a couple of Chaos Spears into the water foe. The electric attack shocked Chaos 3 into a paralyzed state; Sonic then jumped into the air and kicked the beast in the gut.
Chaos 3 growled and his chest began to glow, Sonic noticing what was going to happen jumped as fast as he could to get away. Chaos 3's chest fired a blast at Knuckles, who was able to dig under it.
"Sonic!" Shadow said, "We better use Double Chaos Control!"
"Right!" Sonic said. Both hedgehogs held in their hands a Chaos Emerald, careful not to let Chaos get them both. The shouted in unison.
"Double Chaos Control!" The two soon disappeared as they said this. Chaos 3 looked around, trying to sense the power of the emeralds. This led to him getting hit in the back by both hedgehogs. Sonic and Shadow reappeared and threw the emeralds back into the bag that Tails had reopened.
"Give it up Chaos!" Sonic said.
Chaos 3 roared in anger and blasted Shadow and Sonic with two hydro pumps of water.
Sonic was beginning to get mad, this Chaos was not going down and he hated it. Just like last time his hue turned to a blue to a golden color, his eyes turned red as the 8th emerald gave him the power to turn Super.
"Yeah! Its Super Sonic!" Tails said as his best friend held up one hand to hold off the blasts of water.
"Heh, well Chaos." Super Sonic said as he floated closer to Chaos 3 as the blast of water was shrinking. Soon Super Sonic was right in Chaos 3's face. "Die" Super Sonic said as he threw a powerful punch right at Chaos' chest. A golden light shined and soon a HUGE explosion was heard. As the light dimmed, Super Sonic floated above a puddle of water, Chaos' puddle form returned to Eggman's pod and got inside.
"You'll pay for this Sonic!" Eggman yelled as he flew away.
"Showing off again?" Shadow asked as he got to his feet.
"Heh, I got mad," Super Sonic said as he reverted back to Sonic "He asked for it"
As the team rested up, something was on Knuckles, Tails, and even Sonic's mind. What were the forms long forgotten?
