Chapter Two: Encounters
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
"WHOO! What a rush!" Sonic said, looking at the still-smoldering remains of the giant Metal Sonic. "Man, who'd thought they'd make Metal Sonics jumbo- sized! The bigger they are, the better the explosion..."
"But, it doesn't make any sense... why turn their attention from us to the Mazinger?" Crystallis asked. "And who the heck's the Brotherhood of the Metallix?"
"I've heard of the Brotherhood. Supposedly, it's a group of Metal Sonics built by Eggman... but, that was only in the Fleetway comics. This has no interest in Sonic, it seems." Ashura said.
"Eh, it's no big deal!" Koji said, approaching the group and removing his helmet. "If anything, Mazinger Z's enough to take care of them. If not, there's always Mazinkaiser."
"You got Mazinkaiser!?" Ashura said, eyes wide in excitement.
"Uh, hate to break this surprising moment, but there's something coming this way." Tails said, pointing up. The group turned to see a massive red, white and blue battleship head towards them and land a few hundred yards from the Photon Lab. One of the hatches opened up and a platform lowered with three people on it. One was a young man with black hair, the other was a teenage boy with brown hair. Both of them wore military uniforms. The third was a surprise for most of the group.
"Is that Anthony?!" Sonic said, spotting the familiar red armor of the Gamemaster's MasterTech gear.
"Well, I'll be! It is!" Ashura said.
"Heh... and he's with Amuro, eh?" Koji said, smirking as he reconized the boy.
"Amuro? Amuro Ray?!" Crystallis said. "Which would mean the other guy is..."
"Captain Bright Noah of the White Base." Washu said, approaching the group. "Well, this has got to be something huge to have those two and the Gamemaster here."
"I'd say... if anything, it's probably about that." Sonic said, taking another glance at the wreakage.
"I'd say you're right, Prince Sonikku." Bright Noah said.
"Woah, none of the formalities, man! It's just Sonic, 'kay?" Sonic said.
"Heh, that's almost the same thing Anthony said when we approached him and called him "Gamemaster"." Amuro said.
"Originally, I was going to talk to just Koji Kabuto and his associates, but seeing as you five are here," Bright said, looking at Ashura and the others. "I need to ask for your assisstance as well."
"About the Metallix, right?" Ashura said. Bright nodded. "No problem!"
"As well as some other things, mainly concerning you, Merc and Sabian." Anthony said.
"Me, Merc and Sabian?" Ashura said, a bit shocked. "What about?"
"We'll discuss it inside White Base." Bright said. He turned to Koji and the approaching Sayaka. "Kabuto, Miss Yumi, are you two willing to aid us?"
"Are you kidding? I'm RARRING to go!" Koji said.
"Anything to help!" Sayaka said.
"Good... uh, what about your friend over there?" Amuro said, looking over at the still sobbing Boss as his Borot is getting taken back in for repairs.
"I'm sure he'll join in once his Boss Borot is up and running." Sayaka said.
"Alright, then. Let's get your mechs in and..." Bright said. He stopped and looked at Koji, who was thinking. "Kabuto?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry! I was wondering if I should get Jet Scrander for Mazinger now or wait..." Koji said.
"Don't worry, I can bring it and anything else you guys need in a heartbeat." Washu said. "Just the perks of being the greatest scientific genius of Arcadia!"
"Trust me. She can." Anthony said to the others, smirking a bit.
"Alright, let's get everything ready and move on ahead." Bright said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
A hour or two later, the group had moved into the White Base and soon the massive battleship was airborne. A bit later, the group was gathered in a meeting room. Still hanging on Ashura's mind was what Bright wanted to know about him, Merc and Sabian.
"Something wrong, Ashura?" Crystallis asked, noticing the worried look on Ashura's face.
"Yeah. I'm worried about what Captain Noah wants. I hope he isn't gonna arrest me..." Ashura said, depressed. Even without psionics, the group knew Ashura feared going back to prison.
"Ashura, look, I..." Anthony began, not knowing what to say.
"Anthony, I know you were doing your job. The one who did it is still out there, I know he...or she...is. I'll find them and make them regret what they did to me and my life!" Ashura said.
"That's the spirit, man!" Sonic said. "Get out of the gloomy mood!"
"Heh, if you ladies and gentlemen are done with your chatter..." Bright said, a small smile on his face. He waited until the others quieted down before he continued. "First things first, we need to know about our enemy..."
"If DragonMetal or Metal Amy were here, I'm sure they'd know..." Tails said.
"From what Ashura said, we're dealing with robots with my speed! Though..." Sonic said.
"What is it, Sonic?" Amuro asked.
"...in their giant size, they were a bit slower... maybe even more that "a bit"." Sonic said.
"What makes you say that?" Koji asked.
"He took the attacks Mazinger Z and the other two dished out at him... and was unable to dodge them, something I'm sure I would have been able to do easily." Sonic said.
"In other words, these "Metallix" units sacrafice speed for power." Washu said.
"Defenantly a plus for us." Anthony said.
"I just hope they don't send the whole army at us..." Crystallis said, a bit worried.
"Who knows what could happen then." Sayaka said, that same uncomfortable feeling going through her as well.
"Next..." Bright said, turning to Ashura. "We need to fill you in some things."
"L-like what?" Ashura asked, worried.
"Like why we wanted Merc and Sabian's whereabouts." Bright said. "We need to talk to them about the Meteor incident."
"Why? What did they do?" Ashura said, a bit confused. "They stopped it!"
"Stopped it? Those idiots killed millions of people when they attacked it!" Amuro said, a bit angered.
"WHAT?!" The others said.
"We... we never heard..." Tails said, shocked.
"Of course, the Federation covered up the fact that they were the ones who did it. They said that our attack on Meteor had caused chunks of it to hit the Earth, but still... they want to talk to them about it."
"Whose orders?" Anthony asked.
"... President Luthor's." Amuro said, reluctantly. This caused some eyebrows to rise.
"Lu-lu-LUTHOR?!" Sonic said, shocked. "As in Lex "Hey, look, I'm Mr. Clean's son!" Luthor?!"
"Heheheheheh... yeah, the same." Bright said, chuckling at Sonic's crack, as were everyone else.
"It sounds fishy... I don't like it. Besides, I dunno WHERE those two are." Ashura said.
"Think that's fishy, wait until we tell you about why we wanted YOU!" Amuro said. "Not only are we hunting the Metal Sonics, we're also after a stolen Gundam unit."
"Stolen... Gundam unit?!" Tails said.
"Yes, the RX-78 GP-02A, codenamed "Physallis"." Amruo said.
"The Earth Federation's nuclear weaponed Mobile Suit, built to survive an atomic explosion and keep the pilot alive." Washu said. "A fearsome weapon indeed. Especially in the hands of someone evil."
"We were following it for awhile before it disappeared completely. We feared what could happened until we learned that a city had been destroyed by it..." Bright said.
"RiftRichmond..." Crystallis said. "But, they said "Gundam ARMOR", not "Gundam". I don't get it..."
"If everyone found out that we had a nuclear weapon ready to use, we'd be in a lot of trouble..." Bright said.
"And let me guess, Mt. Baldy made the changes..." Koji said.
"Which would lead to me being arrested..." Ashura said. "But, why me?! What did I do to him?! Maybe it was that time I chose something made by WayneTech instead of LexTech when Tails needed parts that one time..."
"Whatever the case may be, we need to find the person who took the Gundam." Bright said. As he said, that Crystallis' eyes went wide.
"Oh, my god... I know who could have done it!" she said.
"Who?! Tell us!" Anthony said.
"AfterAshura! It makes sense! It has to be!" Crystallis said.
"Not happy beating my fiancee, eh? Hafta go and take my home now, huh?" Ashura muttered darkly, his rage increasing. That got cut with the sound of alarms going off. "What the hell?!"
"Captain Noah!" the intercom blared. "We got Metal Sonic units just a few miles north of here in Satan City!"
"They're probably after Capsule Corp!" Sonic said. "I know they have Vegeta, Seiyuka and the young and old Trunks there, but we need to help them!"
"Agreed. We need to get all units launched the minute we get to the Satan City limits." Bright said.
"Alright, let's move!" Amuro said.
----------------------------------------------------------
In Satan City, the threat of the Metallix was much more than the others on the White Base thought. Not only were there giant Metallix units, but the basic Metal Sonic units as well. And the combined might of Vegeta, Buu, Future Trunks, Kid Trunks, Great Saiyaman, Great Saiyagirl and the Seiyuka- piloted Wing Gundam wasn't enough.
"There's too many of them!" Future Trunks said, slicing one down with his sword. "We take one down, more show up!"
"Man, I wish Goten was here! Then we could fuse and kick butt as Gotenks!" Kid Trunks said, knocking another away.
"Just make sure Capsule Corp isn't damaged!" Great Saiyaman said.
"Don't worry! Buu won't let bad robots hurt friends!" Buu said, knocking away a group of Metal Sonics. At that, he watched as Wing Gundam was knocked for a big loop.
"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Seiyuka screamed as Wing Gundam dropped to the ground. "They're too strong! Wing Gundam can't take much more!"
"Grrr... metallic FREAKS!" Vegeta said, blasting a bunch away, only to have more take him down.
"It's hopeless!" Great Saiyagirl said. Just then, a ring landed around the Metal Sonic she was fighting's ears. "What the...?"
"HERE I COME!" the familiar voice of Sonic shouted as he bashed through the Metal Sonic and a few others.
"Sonikku!" Vegeta shouted. "About time you got here!"
"And I brought some help!" Sonic said. The heroes looked back and saw Crystallis, Ashura, the Tornado X (holding Tails and Anthony) and a group of mecha consisting of the Mazinger Z, Diana A, and the RX-78 Gundam.
"Alright! The calvery!" Seiyuka said, trying to get Wing Gundam up.
"Here, I'll help ya..." Amuro said. As he did, he got a good look at the Gundam. "Hmm... never seen this model before. Did Capsule Corp make this themselves? If they did, they're good."
"Uh... yeaaaaah, they did!" Seiyuka said, not wanting to say that it was made in an entirely different universe. "But, they prefer to make other electronics than Mobile Suits."
"Understandable." Amuro said. As he said that, a giant Metal Sonic got close to the two and prepared to attack.
"BEHIND YOU!" Seiyuka said, knocking Gundam over and blasting the Metal Sonic with the Buster Rifle.
"Uh, thanks... I think." Amuro said.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Over the skies of Satan City, Tails was trying to find a place to land to let Anthony out and it just wasn't working out.
"Man, everywhere we go, there's Metallix units!" Tails said.
"Don't worry about it, Tails. I can get down there myself." Anthony said.
"You sure?" Tails said.
"Trust me." Anthony said, smirking.
"One question before you go..." Tails began. "Why did Captain Noah want you?"
"He was hoping I knew something about the Metallix but, I was stumped as he was. I just wish he gave me time to get something to better combat these things." Anthony said, teleporting to the ground as he finished. As he reappeared on the ground, his Gamemaster armor formed around him and he began his assault on the Metallix.
------------------------------------------
At the mysterious Metallix base, the head Metal Sonic unit watches the fight, a smile forming on his face.
"At last, the Gamemaster shows his face." he said. "Now, I can truely start my plan..."
"Your plan, sir?" the other Metal Sonic said.
"The same plan my maker, the great Ivo Robotnik, the conqorer of Mobius began 10 years ago. To turn the world into a metallic paradise!" the head Metal Sonic said. "A world where robots rule all! But, with me, I'll take his grand plan to a grander scale! I'll turn ALL SIX Arcadian wolrds into robotic paradises. I'll make the Gamemaster pay for turning my great master into sniviling wimp! I'll make him pay for driving this world's Robotnik into hiding! I'll make him pay for killing the robotic version of my master! He and the rest of the fleshings will rue the day they messed with me and my brethren!"
"Sir!" the Metal Sonic said, looking at a panel. "Another Metal Sonic is heading towards the battlefield!"
"Hmm? Heheheheh... so, the traitor has arrived as well." the head Metal Sonic. "Perhaps... yes, I will."
"Sir?" the Metal Sonic said.
"I'm going to join them." the head Metal Sonic said, disappearing.
--------------------------------
"IRON CUTTER!" Koji shouted, making Mazinger Z launch his right arm, the two extended blades on its forearms slicing some Metallix units in half. "Man, they're getting tougher!"
"So, you noticed that, too!" Amuro said, having Gundam fire its beam rifle.
"BAH! This is NOTHING!" Vegeta said, growling. "Time to take it up a notch! GYAAAAAAAAAAH!" His battle aura flared up, turning from gold to gray, as the aura disapated, Vegeta had hit his Super Saiyan 3 level, due to the power of his Guardian Gem. The power alone caused some Metallix units to be destroyed or deactivated. He, then, began firing ki blasts left and right taking out more Metallix units only to get taken out by a large Metallix.
"Vegeta, are you okay?!" Anthony shouted.
"Butt out, Accountantmaster!" Vegeta yelled back.
"Gee, you're welcome..." Anthony muttered.
"You know he's always like that." Kid Trunks said.
"I know, but it makes me so mad!" Anthony said. As they were going at it, Future Trunks was able to drive away a group of Metal Sonics only to see Wing Gundam easily being overwhelmed.
"SEIYUKA, GET OUT OF THERE!" Future Trunks shouted at the top of his lungs.
"I...I can't! The cockpit door's jammed! I...AHHHH!" Seiyuka began saying before the Metal Sonic brought Wing Gundam to the ground.
"SEIYUKA!" Future Trunks shouted. He watched as Ashura, Crystallis and the Tornado X fight off the Metal Sonic unsuccessfully, he reached into his coat pocket with his free hand and gripped something.
'I...I gotta help them!' Trunks thought. 'I know mom didn't want me to use this until dad knew, but I have no choice! I just hope they can chalk it up to a power boost or something...' He pulled out the thing he grabbed and looked at it intently. 'I just hope no one notices...' Out of nowhere, an aura flare surrounded him and he flew towards the Metallix unit. In an instant, those fighting him off watched as it split in two.
"Wh-wh-what the hell?!" Ashura said, shocked. "Did you do that, Cryst?"
"No, not me..." Crystallis replied.
"What did that?" Tails asked.
"Trunks...?" Seiyuka muttered, having caught a brief glimpse of him.
------------------------
"What the?!" Washu said, watching the battle from her holotop computer. "Nonono! This CAN'T be true!"
"What can't be?" Bright asked.
"The power flux from the elder Trunks. It shot through the roof!" Washu said. "This...this can't be! He's not THAT powerful!"
"Maybe he's had time to be that powerful..." Bright said.
"No. I've watched everyone grow in their power since Arcadia added this world to its group and up til then, Trunks stayed at a certain level." Washu said. As she said that, she began viewing a video of the attack. She began closing up on the blur that was Trunks. Getting the picture at its clearest, she saw that Trunks had changed. Gone were the clothes that he wore since arriving from the past over 10 years ago, in its place was a classic-styled Saiyan armor complete with a cape. His hair had grown longer and taken a silver coloring. The thing that freaked Washu out the most was what was mostly obscured by Trunks' arm. Though she couldn't see it clearly, she knew it was a medallion.
'Trunks...he's... he's one of them!' Washu thought. 'But, who?! Is it Bulma or Vegeta?! Oh, man... whoever it is, this could mean something big!'
-------------------------
"These things are starting to fall back!" Sonic said, taking down another Metallix unit.
"It's about time..." Great Saiyaman said, panting a bit. "Anymore and I'd probably be dead meat!"
[WARNING! WARNING! New combatant entering area!] a giant Metal Sonic said. He turned to where the combatant was heading from, only to get hit by a hail of Metal Sonic parts.
[Oh, c'mon! It's not like I'm gonna miss THIS party!] A voice said. Everyone turned to see DragonMetal Sonic standing on top of a building, arms crossed. [You mess with my friends, you mess with me!] He uncrossed his arms and held out his right hand, the Dragon Dagger ejecting from his forearm, a device connected to the weapon. He held his arm up in the air, showing that there are four buttons on his palm. [DragonZord, you're needed!] Pushing the buttons in a certain order, a tune began playing, followed by the ground shaking as the Godzilla-like mecha arrived on the battlefield. [Alright, DragonZord, Dragon Cannon...]
"Not this time, traitor..." a voice called out. A few seconds later, DragonZord was taken down by a mysterious force. The next thing DragonMetal Sonic knew, he was knocked into the edge of a building, bounced into another and crashed to the ground.
"DRAGONMETAL!" Crystallis cried out.
"What the...? Who did that?!" Kid Trunks said.
"Heheheheh... you fools." the voice said. Everyone turned to see another Metal Sonic, though much different than the others. Its head was more resembling a combination of Sonic and Shadow's, the shoulder guards were more longer, its forearms and shins were larger, its fingers were longer and sharper and around its waist was, moreorless, a cape.
"Who are you?! Are the one who did this?" Anthony said.
"Well, DUH!" the Metal Sonic said. "I am called the Metal Overlord. You can call me your future master of Arcadia."
"So, you're up for a rematch, huh, you piece of junk?" Sonic said. This caused Metal Overlord to leap down to the street and he motioned Sonic to attack. "Alright, Metal Overlord, time to put this at an end!" With that, he revved up his Super Peel-Out Attack and raced after him.
"Sonic, DON'T!" Anthony cried out in vain. What could have been an easy takedown turned out horribly wrong. As Sonic got close to the Metal Sonic, the robot took Sonic by suprise and clobbered him in the face, knocking him out.
"Hmph. I was told you were a challenge. For one who's the so-called "original Sonic", you are nothing. Maybe your brother is the real one after all..." Metal Overlord said.
"You...MONSTER!" Anthony said.
"No, YOU are! YOU'RE the one who turned my master into a sniviling wimp! YOU'RE the one who drove another one into hiding! And YOU'RE the one who killed a third! I will make my master Robotnik's dream a reality! And I'll start with YOU!" Metal Overlord shouted. At that, a hand bursted out from the ground and grabbed Anthony. The rest of the body came out of the ground, revealing that it was another Metallix unit. Despite the contrary, the same mecha reached out and grabbed Crystallis.
"GAMEMASTER!" Amuro shouted.
"CRYSTY!" Ashura shouted.
"Hmm... didn't want the Maiden, but she would make a good robot..." Metal Overlord said. Then, he turned to the others. "Now, you have two choices: surrender and we may let your friends live, or don't and we'll kill them... or probably roboticize them."
"We...we can't surrender to them... can we?" Sayaka said, concerned.
"But, what choice do we have?" Koji said.
[Urgh... don't... don't let them win...] DragonMetal said.
"Heheheh... looks like I already have." Metal Overlord said. "Metallix, crush those two. Make them choose." With that, the robot began squeezing Anthony and Crystallis, causing them to scream in agony.
"STOP IT!" Ashura shouted. "Stop hurting them..."
"So, what's your answer?" Metal Overlord asked.
"They DON'T surrender!" a voice called out. At that, the sky turned dark and storm clouds began forming.
"What the...? What's going on?!" Metal Overlord said, confused.
"It ain't supposed to rain today!" Kid Trunks said.
"GREAT BOOMERANG!" the voice called out.
"DOUBLE TOMAHAWK!" another voice called out. At that, three projectiles came from the skies, one a large red boomerang and the other two large black battleaxes with spiked mace balls on top, spun towards the Metallix units, cutting them down and freeing Anthony and Crystallis in the process. Ashura caught Crystallis as she fell, the crushing hurting her more than they thought, while Anthony was caught by Great Saiyagirl.
As the Metallix units fell, the projectiles returned to the skies. As they did, the clouds they entered seperated, revealing two mecha. One almost resembled Mazinger Z except its head plate and Pilader were different, the boomerang was its chest plate, it had blades on its forearms and upper legs and it had a winged jet pack. The other robot was much different. Its red head had three spikes on its head and two from its faceplate, yellow eyes and a blue "mouth" and head jewel. It's blue chest have two red chestplates over it and shoulder pads attached to it. It had light blue arms and red forearms with blades on its side. It had a yellow waist with two red stripes by where its legs are. Its legs are like the arms (blue on top, red on the bottom) except it didn't have the blades.
[New units identified.] The armless Metallix unit that had Anthony and Crystallis said. [Code names: Mazinga and Dragun.]
"Mazinga? Dragun? Where did you get those names? Off a toy?" the voice from the Mazinger unit said. "You're looking at the Great Mazinger..."
"And the Getter Robo G!" a voice from the Getter unit said.
"AARRGH! MORE robots?!" Metal Overlord said.
[Heh...heheheheh... I found them before I got here.] DragonMetal said, coming to.
"Bah! They're nothing more than pieces of junk! DESTROY THEM!" Metal Overlord shouted. The units still active began their charge towards the two machines. Undaunted, the Great Mazinger raised its right arm to the sky, its index finger pointed out. At that, bolts of electricity gathered around it. The Mazinger swung its arm back, it's hand over its shoulder, the swung it back out, pointing at the Metallix units.
"THUNDER BREAK!" the Great Mazinger pilot shouted. At that, the electricity shot forward from its finger to the Metallix units, the power of the bolts frying most of the machines. As the rest headed towards the two, the Getter G looked towards those robots, the "jewel" on its forehead glowing.
"GETTER BEAM!" the Getter G's pilot shouted. With that, a bolt of energy shot forth and blasted the units. All that was left was Metal Overlord.
"NONONONO! I...I can't believe this!" Metal Overlord said.
"Well, what's it going to be, robot?" Vegeta said.
"Grr... I'll be back. The Metallix hasn't lost yet!" Metal Overlord said, disappearing.
"Man, he got away!" Great Saiyaman said.
"For...for the better, I guess." Sonic said, coming to. "He gave us a major pounding."
"Anthony! Gamemaster! Are you alright?!" Washu shouted from the communicator on Anthony's armor.
"Yeah, I'm fine, Washu." Anthony said. "If it wasn't for those two robots, we'd be dead."
"That's good. You'd better get back here." Washu said. As the others began heading back, Sonic looked and saw the Getter G for the first time.
"The Getter Robo... they rebuilt it, eh?" he said, smirking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
"WHOO! What a rush!" Sonic said, looking at the still-smoldering remains of the giant Metal Sonic. "Man, who'd thought they'd make Metal Sonics jumbo- sized! The bigger they are, the better the explosion..."
"But, it doesn't make any sense... why turn their attention from us to the Mazinger?" Crystallis asked. "And who the heck's the Brotherhood of the Metallix?"
"I've heard of the Brotherhood. Supposedly, it's a group of Metal Sonics built by Eggman... but, that was only in the Fleetway comics. This has no interest in Sonic, it seems." Ashura said.
"Eh, it's no big deal!" Koji said, approaching the group and removing his helmet. "If anything, Mazinger Z's enough to take care of them. If not, there's always Mazinkaiser."
"You got Mazinkaiser!?" Ashura said, eyes wide in excitement.
"Uh, hate to break this surprising moment, but there's something coming this way." Tails said, pointing up. The group turned to see a massive red, white and blue battleship head towards them and land a few hundred yards from the Photon Lab. One of the hatches opened up and a platform lowered with three people on it. One was a young man with black hair, the other was a teenage boy with brown hair. Both of them wore military uniforms. The third was a surprise for most of the group.
"Is that Anthony?!" Sonic said, spotting the familiar red armor of the Gamemaster's MasterTech gear.
"Well, I'll be! It is!" Ashura said.
"Heh... and he's with Amuro, eh?" Koji said, smirking as he reconized the boy.
"Amuro? Amuro Ray?!" Crystallis said. "Which would mean the other guy is..."
"Captain Bright Noah of the White Base." Washu said, approaching the group. "Well, this has got to be something huge to have those two and the Gamemaster here."
"I'd say... if anything, it's probably about that." Sonic said, taking another glance at the wreakage.
"I'd say you're right, Prince Sonikku." Bright Noah said.

"Are you kidding? I'm RARRING to go!" Koji said.
"Anything to help!" Sayaka said.
"Good... uh, what about your friend over there?" Amuro said, looking over at the still sobbing Boss as his Borot is getting taken back in for repairs.
"I'm sure he'll join in once his Boss Borot is up and running." Sayaka said.
"Alright, then. Let's get your mechs in and..." Bright said. He stopped and looked at Koji, who was thinking. "Kabuto?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry! I was wondering if I should get Jet Scrander for Mazinger now or wait..." Koji said.

"Trust me. She can." Anthony said to the others, smirking a bit.
"Alright, let's get everything ready and move on ahead." Bright said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
A hour or two later, the group had moved into the White Base and soon the massive battleship was airborne. A bit later, the group was gathered in a meeting room. Still hanging on Ashura's mind was what Bright wanted to know about him, Merc and Sabian.
"Something wrong, Ashura?" Crystallis asked, noticing the worried look on Ashura's face.

"Next..." Bright said, turning to Ashura. "We need to fill you in some things."
"L-like what?" Ashura asked, worried.
"Like why we wanted Merc and Sabian's whereabouts." Bright said. "We need to talk to them about the Meteor incident."
"Why? What did they do?" Ashura said, a bit confused. "They stopped it!"
"Stopped it? Those idiots killed millions of people when they attacked it!" Amuro said, a bit angered.
"WHAT?!" The others said.

"Think that's fishy, wait until we tell you about why we wanted YOU!" Amuro said. "Not only are we hunting the Metal Sonics, we're also after a stolen Gundam unit."
"Stolen... Gundam unit?!" Tails said.
"Yes, the RX-78 GP-02A, codenamed "Physallis"." Amruo said.
"The Earth Federation's nuclear weaponed Mobile Suit, built to survive an atomic explosion and keep the pilot alive." Washu said. "A fearsome weapon indeed. Especially in the hands of someone evil."
"We were following it for awhile before it disappeared completely. We feared what could happened until we learned that a city had been destroyed by it..." Bright said.
"RiftRichmond..." Crystallis said. "But, they said "Gundam ARMOR", not "Gundam". I don't get it..."
"If everyone found out that we had a nuclear weapon ready to use, we'd be in a lot of trouble..." Bright said.
"And let me guess, Mt. Baldy made the changes..." Koji said.
"Which would lead to me being arrested..." Ashura said. "But, why me?! What did I do to him?! Maybe it was that time I chose something made by WayneTech instead of LexTech when Tails needed parts that one time..."
"Whatever the case may be, we need to find the person who took the Gundam." Bright said. As he said, that Crystallis' eyes went wide.
"Oh, my god... I know who could have done it!" she said.
"Who?! Tell us!" Anthony said.
"AfterAshura! It makes sense! It has to be!" Crystallis said.
"Not happy beating my fiancee, eh? Hafta go and take my home now, huh?" Ashura muttered darkly, his rage increasing. That got cut with the sound of alarms going off. "What the hell?!"
"Captain Noah!" the intercom blared. "We got Metal Sonic units just a few miles north of here in Satan City!"
"They're probably after Capsule Corp!" Sonic said. "I know they have Vegeta, Seiyuka and the young and old Trunks there, but we need to help them!"
"Agreed. We need to get all units launched the minute we get to the Satan City limits." Bright said.
"Alright, let's move!" Amuro said.
----------------------------------------------------------
In Satan City, the threat of the Metallix was much more than the others on the White Base thought. Not only were there giant Metallix units, but the basic Metal Sonic units as well. And the combined might of Vegeta, Buu, Future Trunks, Kid Trunks, Great Saiyaman, Great Saiyagirl and the Seiyuka- piloted Wing Gundam wasn't enough.
"There's too many of them!" Future Trunks said, slicing one down with his sword. "We take one down, more show up!"
"Man, I wish Goten was here! Then we could fuse and kick butt as Gotenks!" Kid Trunks said, knocking another away.
"Just make sure Capsule Corp isn't damaged!" Great Saiyaman said.
"Don't worry! Buu won't let bad robots hurt friends!" Buu said, knocking away a group of Metal Sonics. At that, he watched as Wing Gundam was knocked for a big loop.
"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Seiyuka screamed as Wing Gundam dropped to the ground. "They're too strong! Wing Gundam can't take much more!"
"Grrr... metallic FREAKS!" Vegeta said, blasting a bunch away, only to have more take him down.
"It's hopeless!" Great Saiyagirl said. Just then, a ring landed around the Metal Sonic she was fighting's ears. "What the...?"
"HERE I COME!" the familiar voice of Sonic shouted as he bashed through the Metal Sonic and a few others.
"Sonikku!" Vegeta shouted. "About time you got here!"
"And I brought some help!" Sonic said. The heroes looked back and saw Crystallis, Ashura, the Tornado X (holding Tails and Anthony) and a group of mecha consisting of the Mazinger Z, Diana A, and the RX-78 Gundam.
"Alright! The calvery!" Seiyuka said, trying to get Wing Gundam up.
"Here, I'll help ya..." Amuro said. As he did, he got a good look at the Gundam. "Hmm... never seen this model before. Did Capsule Corp make this themselves? If they did, they're good."
"Uh... yeaaaaah, they did!" Seiyuka said, not wanting to say that it was made in an entirely different universe. "But, they prefer to make other electronics than Mobile Suits."
"Understandable." Amuro said. As he said that, a giant Metal Sonic got close to the two and prepared to attack.
"BEHIND YOU!" Seiyuka said, knocking Gundam over and blasting the Metal Sonic with the Buster Rifle.
"Uh, thanks... I think." Amuro said.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Over the skies of Satan City, Tails was trying to find a place to land to let Anthony out and it just wasn't working out.
"Man, everywhere we go, there's Metallix units!" Tails said.
"Don't worry about it, Tails. I can get down there myself." Anthony said.
"You sure?" Tails said.
"Trust me." Anthony said, smirking.
"One question before you go..." Tails began. "Why did Captain Noah want you?"
"He was hoping I knew something about the Metallix but, I was stumped as he was. I just wish he gave me time to get something to better combat these things." Anthony said, teleporting to the ground as he finished. As he reappeared on the ground, his Gamemaster armor formed around him and he began his assault on the Metallix.
------------------------------------------
At the mysterious Metallix base, the head Metal Sonic unit watches the fight, a smile forming on his face.
"At last, the Gamemaster shows his face." he said. "Now, I can truely start my plan..."
"Your plan, sir?" the other Metal Sonic said.
"The same plan my maker, the great Ivo Robotnik, the conqorer of Mobius began 10 years ago. To turn the world into a metallic paradise!" the head Metal Sonic said. "A world where robots rule all! But, with me, I'll take his grand plan to a grander scale! I'll turn ALL SIX Arcadian wolrds into robotic paradises. I'll make the Gamemaster pay for turning my great master into sniviling wimp! I'll make him pay for driving this world's Robotnik into hiding! I'll make him pay for killing the robotic version of my master! He and the rest of the fleshings will rue the day they messed with me and my brethren!"
"Sir!" the Metal Sonic said, looking at a panel. "Another Metal Sonic is heading towards the battlefield!"
"Hmm? Heheheheh... so, the traitor has arrived as well." the head Metal Sonic. "Perhaps... yes, I will."
"Sir?" the Metal Sonic said.
"I'm going to join them." the head Metal Sonic said, disappearing.
--------------------------------
"IRON CUTTER!" Koji shouted, making Mazinger Z launch his right arm, the two extended blades on its forearms slicing some Metallix units in half. "Man, they're getting tougher!"
"So, you noticed that, too!" Amuro said, having Gundam fire its beam rifle.
"BAH! This is NOTHING!" Vegeta said, growling. "Time to take it up a notch! GYAAAAAAAAAAH!" His battle aura flared up, turning from gold to gray, as the aura disapated, Vegeta had hit his Super Saiyan 3 level, due to the power of his Guardian Gem. The power alone caused some Metallix units to be destroyed or deactivated. He, then, began firing ki blasts left and right taking out more Metallix units only to get taken out by a large Metallix.
"Vegeta, are you okay?!" Anthony shouted.
"Butt out, Accountantmaster!" Vegeta yelled back.
"Gee, you're welcome..." Anthony muttered.
"You know he's always like that." Kid Trunks said.
"I know, but it makes me so mad!" Anthony said. As they were going at it, Future Trunks was able to drive away a group of Metal Sonics only to see Wing Gundam easily being overwhelmed.
"SEIYUKA, GET OUT OF THERE!" Future Trunks shouted at the top of his lungs.
"I...I can't! The cockpit door's jammed! I...AHHHH!" Seiyuka began saying before the Metal Sonic brought Wing Gundam to the ground.
"SEIYUKA!" Future Trunks shouted. He watched as Ashura, Crystallis and the Tornado X fight off the Metal Sonic unsuccessfully, he reached into his coat pocket with his free hand and gripped something.
'I...I gotta help them!' Trunks thought. 'I know mom didn't want me to use this until dad knew, but I have no choice! I just hope they can chalk it up to a power boost or something...' He pulled out the thing he grabbed and looked at it intently. 'I just hope no one notices...' Out of nowhere, an aura flare surrounded him and he flew towards the Metallix unit. In an instant, those fighting him off watched as it split in two.
"Wh-wh-what the hell?!" Ashura said, shocked. "Did you do that, Cryst?"
"No, not me..." Crystallis replied.
"What did that?" Tails asked.
"Trunks...?" Seiyuka muttered, having caught a brief glimpse of him.
------------------------
"What the?!" Washu said, watching the battle from her holotop computer. "Nonono! This CAN'T be true!"
"What can't be?" Bright asked.
"The power flux from the elder Trunks. It shot through the roof!" Washu said. "This...this can't be! He's not THAT powerful!"
"Maybe he's had time to be that powerful..." Bright said.
"No. I've watched everyone grow in their power since Arcadia added this world to its group and up til then, Trunks stayed at a certain level." Washu said. As she said that, she began viewing a video of the attack. She began closing up on the blur that was Trunks. Getting the picture at its clearest, she saw that Trunks had changed. Gone were the clothes that he wore since arriving from the past over 10 years ago, in its place was a classic-styled Saiyan armor complete with a cape. His hair had grown longer and taken a silver coloring. The thing that freaked Washu out the most was what was mostly obscured by Trunks' arm. Though she couldn't see it clearly, she knew it was a medallion.
'Trunks...he's... he's one of them!' Washu thought. 'But, who?! Is it Bulma or Vegeta?! Oh, man... whoever it is, this could mean something big!'
-------------------------
"These things are starting to fall back!" Sonic said, taking down another Metallix unit.
"It's about time..." Great Saiyaman said, panting a bit. "Anymore and I'd probably be dead meat!"
[WARNING! WARNING! New combatant entering area!] a giant Metal Sonic said. He turned to where the combatant was heading from, only to get hit by a hail of Metal Sonic parts.
[Oh, c'mon! It's not like I'm gonna miss THIS party!] A voice said. Everyone turned to see DragonMetal Sonic standing on top of a building, arms crossed. [You mess with my friends, you mess with me!] He uncrossed his arms and held out his right hand, the Dragon Dagger ejecting from his forearm, a device connected to the weapon. He held his arm up in the air, showing that there are four buttons on his palm. [DragonZord, you're needed!] Pushing the buttons in a certain order, a tune began playing, followed by the ground shaking as the Godzilla-like mecha arrived on the battlefield. [Alright, DragonZord, Dragon Cannon...]
"Not this time, traitor..." a voice called out. A few seconds later, DragonZord was taken down by a mysterious force. The next thing DragonMetal Sonic knew, he was knocked into the edge of a building, bounced into another and crashed to the ground.
"DRAGONMETAL!" Crystallis cried out.
"What the...? Who did that?!" Kid Trunks said.
"Heheheheh... you fools." the voice said. Everyone turned to see another Metal Sonic, though much different than the others. Its head was more resembling a combination of Sonic and Shadow's, the shoulder guards were more longer, its forearms and shins were larger, its fingers were longer and sharper and around its waist was, moreorless, a cape.
"Who are you?! Are the one who did this?" Anthony said.
"Well, DUH!" the Metal Sonic said. "I am called the Metal Overlord. You can call me your future master of Arcadia."
"So, you're up for a rematch, huh, you piece of junk?" Sonic said. This caused Metal Overlord to leap down to the street and he motioned Sonic to attack. "Alright, Metal Overlord, time to put this at an end!" With that, he revved up his Super Peel-Out Attack and raced after him.
"Sonic, DON'T!" Anthony cried out in vain. What could have been an easy takedown turned out horribly wrong. As Sonic got close to the Metal Sonic, the robot took Sonic by suprise and clobbered him in the face, knocking him out.
"Hmph. I was told you were a challenge. For one who's the so-called "original Sonic", you are nothing. Maybe your brother is the real one after all..." Metal Overlord said.
"You...MONSTER!" Anthony said.
"No, YOU are! YOU'RE the one who turned my master into a sniviling wimp! YOU'RE the one who drove another one into hiding! And YOU'RE the one who killed a third! I will make my master Robotnik's dream a reality! And I'll start with YOU!" Metal Overlord shouted. At that, a hand bursted out from the ground and grabbed Anthony. The rest of the body came out of the ground, revealing that it was another Metallix unit. Despite the contrary, the same mecha reached out and grabbed Crystallis.
"GAMEMASTER!" Amuro shouted.
"CRYSTY!" Ashura shouted.
"Hmm... didn't want the Maiden, but she would make a good robot..." Metal Overlord said. Then, he turned to the others. "Now, you have two choices: surrender and we may let your friends live, or don't and we'll kill them... or probably roboticize them."
"We...we can't surrender to them... can we?" Sayaka said, concerned.
"But, what choice do we have?" Koji said.
[Urgh... don't... don't let them win...] DragonMetal said.
"Heheheh... looks like I already have." Metal Overlord said. "Metallix, crush those two. Make them choose." With that, the robot began squeezing Anthony and Crystallis, causing them to scream in agony.
"STOP IT!" Ashura shouted. "Stop hurting them..."
"So, what's your answer?" Metal Overlord asked.
"They DON'T surrender!" a voice called out. At that, the sky turned dark and storm clouds began forming.
"What the...? What's going on?!" Metal Overlord said, confused.
"It ain't supposed to rain today!" Kid Trunks said.
"GREAT BOOMERANG!" the voice called out.
"DOUBLE TOMAHAWK!" another voice called out. At that, three projectiles came from the skies, one a large red boomerang and the other two large black battleaxes with spiked mace balls on top, spun towards the Metallix units, cutting them down and freeing Anthony and Crystallis in the process. Ashura caught Crystallis as she fell, the crushing hurting her more than they thought, while Anthony was caught by Great Saiyagirl.
As the Metallix units fell, the projectiles returned to the skies. As they did, the clouds they entered seperated, revealing two mecha. One almost resembled Mazinger Z except its head plate and Pilader were different, the boomerang was its chest plate, it had blades on its forearms and upper legs and it had a winged jet pack. The other robot was much different. Its red head had three spikes on its head and two from its faceplate, yellow eyes and a blue "mouth" and head jewel. It's blue chest have two red chestplates over it and shoulder pads attached to it. It had light blue arms and red forearms with blades on its side. It had a yellow waist with two red stripes by where its legs are. Its legs are like the arms (blue on top, red on the bottom) except it didn't have the blades.
[New units identified.] The armless Metallix unit that had Anthony and Crystallis said. [Code names: Mazinga and Dragun.]
"Mazinga? Dragun? Where did you get those names? Off a toy?" the voice from the Mazinger unit said. "You're looking at the Great Mazinger..."
"And the Getter Robo G!" a voice from the Getter unit said.
"AARRGH! MORE robots?!" Metal Overlord said.
[Heh...heheheheh... I found them before I got here.] DragonMetal said, coming to.
"Bah! They're nothing more than pieces of junk! DESTROY THEM!" Metal Overlord shouted. The units still active began their charge towards the two machines. Undaunted, the Great Mazinger raised its right arm to the sky, its index finger pointed out. At that, bolts of electricity gathered around it. The Mazinger swung its arm back, it's hand over its shoulder, the swung it back out, pointing at the Metallix units.
"THUNDER BREAK!" the Great Mazinger pilot shouted. At that, the electricity shot forward from its finger to the Metallix units, the power of the bolts frying most of the machines. As the rest headed towards the two, the Getter G looked towards those robots, the "jewel" on its forehead glowing.
"GETTER BEAM!" the Getter G's pilot shouted. With that, a bolt of energy shot forth and blasted the units. All that was left was Metal Overlord.
"NONONONO! I...I can't believe this!" Metal Overlord said.
"Well, what's it going to be, robot?" Vegeta said.
"Grr... I'll be back. The Metallix hasn't lost yet!" Metal Overlord said, disappearing.
"Man, he got away!" Great Saiyaman said.
"For...for the better, I guess." Sonic said, coming to. "He gave us a major pounding."
"Anthony! Gamemaster! Are you alright?!" Washu shouted from the communicator on Anthony's armor.
"Yeah, I'm fine, Washu." Anthony said. "If it wasn't for those two robots, we'd be dead."
"That's good. You'd better get back here." Washu said. As the others began heading back, Sonic looked and saw the Getter G for the first time.
"The Getter Robo... they rebuilt it, eh?" he said, smirking.
