Final Chapter: A New Super Sonic
Sonic Looked on in horror as Super Streak attacked the city brutally, he felt anger build inside of him unable to do anything… he looked over to his left and noticed Shadow's Ultimate Rouges and Metal's Metal Miscreants and The Hunters had gathered the emeralds again.
"I don't think they will do any good," said Miles
"Yeah, he beat your super form before Shadow…" Said Rouge
"But I have to try guys…" Shadow replied, starting his transformation.
"Damn it, if only I had my data, I could turn into Metal Overlord and take him on" cursed Metal
Sonic thought to himself. No one said I couldn't go super just because Streak was taken out… and even if they did, no one would know for sure… maybe I could…. Without warning he ran towards Shadow and knocked him out of the way
"What...?" said a confused Shadow
"Sorry bro, but this is my fight" Said Sonic
"That's crazy!" protested the black hedgehog "you can't…"
"You don't know that! And as you said I have to try…"
Shadow was about to protest some more but it was to late… Sonic was already using the emeralds, and just as he hoped they where reacting to his feelings… he closed his eyes as he felt his body surge with power…
"Oh my…" Said Spike
"Illogical…" Added Omega
"He can do it," said Shadow bemused
Sonic grinned, he knew he could do it... but then he felt different, he felt much more in control of his super form's power than the pervious times he needed to use it. He felt his transformation and he opened his eyes in response
"He… he's turned… Platinum coloured…" stuttered Miles "and… and his eyes… they are still green…"
Super Sonic looked at himself, it was true… his body was a different colour than usual… but there was no time to think about this, he flew off to do battle with Super Streak.
"Mwhahahahahahaha!" laughed Super Streak blasting all the surrounding buildings "Pathetic Mortals… this is too easy and way too much fun…"
"Laugh while you can Faker!" Super Sonic Yelled and punched him in the jaw
Super Streak recoiled from the hit, his eyes small, clearly showing his lack of sanity, his teeth seeming jagged; he brought his hand up to his lip and wiped off the small amount of blood. He looked at the smeared fluid on his glove and smiled "That actually drew blood… ha!" he gestured dramatically and then pointed to Super Sonic "Good for you goody-two-shoes… I didn't think you had it in you! Well done! By the way, that Colour suits you… silver for second best" he mocked
"Don't mock me" reacted Super Sonic "I'm the one that will be sending you to your maker, weather he be Man or divine"
"You kill me? Ha! Don't make me laugh! The only time you killed something it was big-bro-Biolizard, and even then, its only cause me and Shadow helped you, heck if it weren't for me you and Amy would probably be hitched by now!"
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" yelled Super Sonic, taking another swipe at Super Streak. He Blocked and countered as did Super Sonic, and so it went on for a few minutes. It was a furious battle as the pair stared pulling away and flying full force at each other, each blow more powerful than the last
Meanwhile on the ground below
"Who's winning?" fretted Joz through Rouges lips
"It seems pretty even so far," said Shadow "nether are gaining any ground nor giving any"
"Sonic has to win… He always does, I learned that the hard way" said Metal
"I second that mate" said Nack
"That's all well and good… till you remember that they BOTH are technically Sonic the Hedgehog" said Miles
"Miles has a point Metal" Agreed Mighty. The blue robot could only nod grudgingly. Just then Super Streak sucker punched Super Sonic and started pummelling the hero to an inch of his Existence. His friends below gasped with fear for the Platinum Hedgehog's life.
"He's losing!" Said Omega
"No!" Yelled Metal. He hated having his rival lose to someone else, even if it was an evil version of himself… his CPU raced, trying to think of something to do to help… then he remembered the Chaos incident… even though he was in stasis he remembered that the roar of the crowd had helped Sonic Gain the power to turn super, and again during the seven demons event. Maybe if the crowd cheered for him during his time of need, it might give him the power to win. He hovered onto the biggest pile of rubble he could find and used a dormant program to turn the large intake fan in his stomach into a loudspeaker.
"Metal what are you doing?" asked Shadow
Metal ignored him "People of Station Square listen to me! I know you all feel confused and afraid as the person you saw as your greatest hero has attacked you, but I ask of you, look at the golden one, and notice that this isn't the hero that saved you from chaos, or protected you from ARK. I Know this will be hard for you to believe, especially from me, but please trust me when I tell you that the golden hedgehog up there is actually he is an evil Villain Called Streak. The Bluish one that fights for your lives, and those of everyone on this planet, is Sonic, the hero you look up to so much!"
There were shouts from the near by buildings of the nearby the civilians, a mix of disbelief, acceptance and confusion: "He's right, look at their faces!", "don't be stupid everyone knows Sonic is golden or dark blue." "Could that silver one really be Sonic?" "What do we do?" and similar such comments where echoed thought the street
"Right now you can all see that Sonic is losing this fight, and if he is to win, he needs the support you all have shown him before when he fought in these very streets" Metal Continued "Who's With me?" again the citizens gave confused replies. Metal Sonic despaired, and desperately started chanting "Sonic! Sonic! Sonic!"
His allies next to him smiled and started to take up the chant too "Sonic! Sonic! Sonic!" immediately the citizens that believed Metal's tale began to take up the chant, it moved on to the confused, bewildered and silent until eventually even the unbelievers started chanting
"Sonic! Sonic! Sonic!"
Up above Super Streak kept pummelling at Super Sonic, until he herd the chants from the city below "What trickery is this?" he asked glancing at the ground
Super Sonic Smiled, as he felt his strength returning. "Your End Faker!" He said and swiped at the golden Hedgehog, crashing him into a wall.
"What's this? But how? You where finished!"
"On the contrary, I've only just begun! CHAOS WIND!"
The Attack Shredded at his evil twin as he swooped at Super Streak.
"I'll get you for that!"
"I severely doubt it" said Super Sonic giving Super Streak the same Pummelling he was getting earlier, backing of for a small second. "You know, you where right, we are the same, expect in the way we fight, there we are very different. Your style is full of evil while mines is good, and if you read the same comics I have, you'd know the bad guy always loses…"
"You think that has any baring here?" said Super Streak, wiping the blood off his mouth "FOOL!" Fighting back, clearly without the upper hand
"Oh but it does, look at yourself, you can't hit me anymore, your tired out and your chaos energy is almost at zero, while mines is still very high"
"B"S"ERD!" Cursed Super Streak coming in for a Final Desperate attack
"Bad move" Said Super Sonic, Punching him in the stomach. The attack winded Super Streak and he fell to the ground, his super form gone. Super Sonic Landed next to his friends, looking at Streak who was a few feet away as he let his super form go. "Its over"
Streak managed to fight himself to his feet "NO! It cough CAN'T be over. I am the Ultimate Life Form cough! I can't be beaten by such a weak loser like you cough!"
"Give it up Streak, you've lost"
"Lost have I? Cough" he smiled evilly and stood up straight " you... You think that Prof. Gerald didn't have a back up for this too?" he started floating in mid air and the Chaos Emeralds floated around him
"What?" Said Sonic in disbelief
"Oh my… SONIC!" yelled Miles "That's Gerald's final addition to the Project Shadow Program!"
"What are you saying Miles?"
"Gerald Programmed in a final attack plan in case you failed against Shadow… the Chaos Implosion Technique"
"WHAT?" Sonic Yelled Horrifically
"That's right sonic, in 3 minutes, I implode, taking you, and your precious little planet with me! Prof. Gerald's Final Revenge will be Complete and you and your little friends will all die! How's that for "over?""
"MONSTER!" yelled Sonic, running at his foe
"Nuh uh! Naughty Naughty! If you hit me any earlier, I go off only a little sooner, it will be a much smaller implosion but I still take the city and everyone in it"
"DAMN!"
"There's still a way out of this Sonic" said Shadow
"What?"
"I Chaos Control him up to ARK, it's far enough away that it will save the planet."
"But… What about you?"
"I'll be gone too... but I'm willing to make that sacrifice to this planet… it was Maria's last wish you know…"
"Shadow…"
Shadow turned to his friends and allies from both eras… "Well I guess this is goodbye guys… I don't think I'll be coming back from this one…"
"Shadow… no," said Rouge and Joz
"There must be another way," protested Miles "I don't want to lose you again old friend"
"I'm afraid this is how it's got to be" Said Shadow
"Shadow…" Said Omega
"I haven't known you that long Shadow but… I can say truly that you are a hero mate" Said Nack, his team mate Nite remained Silent
"I hope you find the peace you are looking for Shadow," said Spike
"I don't know what to say," mourned Metal
"You've said enough already," said Shadow, turning to Streak to find Sonic in his way "No time for Games Sonic, get out of my way…"
"No" said Sonic, punching him in the stomach and winding him.
Shadow looked up at his blue furred Brother "…Why…?"
"Cause it ain't your time bro…" replied Sonic "and I can do Chaos Control just as easily as you can now"
"But…"
"As you said… and keep saying… "No time for games"" Quoted Sonic "I believe that Maria also wanted you to live, besides, it all started with me, so it will end with me" the blue Hedgehog walked up to his Dark twin
"No… What are you doing? Stop!" said Streak
"No dice brother… you started this… and now… I'm the one who has to finish it" he closed his eyes to concentrate… he knew what he had to do… "Shadow… one last thing… take care Of Amy and Tails for me, will you bro?"
The Black Hedgehog, unable to do anything else managed a nod
"Thanks… well this is it… Take care everyone… Chaos…CONTROL!" and with that the Blue Hedgehogs disappeared, leaving the emeralds behind somehow…
Up on space colony ARK they reappeared, Streak still brimming with power
"You Fool! You will die up here with me!" he said
"That doesn't matter to me now... All that matters is that I saved my home…"
"1 minute to go… you sentimental fool…"
"You're the fool… look down there… Doesn't the earth look amazing from up here? Cool and blue… just like us…"
"…"
"That's right… you can't appreciate it cause of all that stuff Gerald put in our heads when he created us… shame really… it didn't really have to end like this…"
"30 seconds…"
"Is that all you can think about?"
"… 20 seconds…"
Sonic Sighed... His twin was no fun…
"Well bro… see you in the here after then…" he turned to take one last look at his home…
"10 seconds"
"Good bye earth… Shadow… Knuckles… Tails… Amy…"
"5 seconds… 3… 2…"
Just then back one earth, Shadow had gotten his wind back, he tried rushing to the emeralds, maybe he wasn't too late to save Sonic. Just as he reached his favourite Green Emerald, there was an earth shattering noise from the sky above… he looked up and saw a bright light where Space Colony ARK used to be… he knew what it signified… he fell to his Knees… staring at the White light in all its horrific Beauty… he was to late…
His head fell into his hands as he yelled out in sorrow "SONIC!"
