A good deed gone wrong
Part XI


The inside of the Final Egg had been built to house the majority of Eggman robot forces when he had used the base actively to take over the world, it had also served as the refuel point for the Egg Carrier and storage place for all of his weapons.

But it had never been built to handle something like Chaos's water shape, least of all his second strongest shape, Chaos 6, and definitely not if he was on a rampage. Badniks and Egg pawns alike were washed away or trashed before they could even attack the water monster that tore through corridor after corridor.

And to Chaos, the damage he caused didn't matter, all that mattered was finding the one who had been behind the attack on his defenseless chao. And when he found that person, there would a high prize to pay as he had still not completely forgotten the last attack he had seen on his beloved chao.

And even if Eggman hadn't been behind the attack in the distant past, he would still take out some of his anger over it on the fat scientist, he deserved that much for trying to use him, and attacking the chao over and over again with his machines.

At the same time far, far above the level that Chaos was on, Eggman was locked in battle with Sonic and Tails, feeling a bit of the same anger and resentment as he remembered all the times they had destroyed his precious machines, foiled his every attempt to take over the world.

And to his great annoyance and frustration, the hedgehog and fox simply refused to stand still long enough for him to rid his life of their presence. Instead he had blown up parts of the safety railing, left burn marks on the metal floor, and sent three missiles flying off into the jungle as Sonic had simply dodged each of them.

Tails had done much the same thing, while telling Sonic of the few weak points to his newly built Egg Emperor mark 2, all of them used by the hedgehog to inflict a great deal of damage to his system, the drill hand was useless as its power had been lost earlier and could only be used as a lance at this point.

Quickly moving across the controls, tapping in commands and activating weapon systems, Eggman growled as he took careful aim with his last batch of missiles, mentally adding in that the next version should carry more of them, and the strongest type he had.

"You're mine Hedgehog" Yelling out the words, he grinned as he saw Sonic standing on the lift leading down into the central shaft of his base, a correct hit would send both it and the hedgehog crashing to the bottom, all 79 floors down.

Or he would have fallen down, had that Blue rodent not moved to attack at the same time as he launched his missiles, the sound of the lift getting blow lose and sent crashing down, while a fireball formed. Instead all he got out of it was another hit on the weak armor plating surrounding the controls. "Blast!"

Standing still and watching the now gaping hole in the ground, Sonic smirked a bit as he faced Eggman's battle machine, the thing lumbering towards him. "Hey Eggman, why don't you just give up, that things no match for me, it's kind of boring to fight it actually."

Feeling his anger grow at the hedgehog's final comment, Eggman gritted his teeth together as he slammed both hands down onto the controls. The blue rodent was right, while the robot had tougher armor and better weapons; it was to heavy and slow moving to do much before Sonic would be gone.

It seemed his only chance of winning this was to use his final trump card, and no matter how much he hated it. It was a sure fire way to get rid of the hedgehog and fox, but at the high prize of a base and lab it wasn't something he really wanted to do.

But Sonic's death and the rise of the Eggman Empire was a prize he could handle losing a few things over. "Goodbye Hedgehog!" Yelling out the words, Eggman grinned as he slammed a hand down on a securely placed button off to his side. "I hope we won't meet again."

As he spoke, Eggman could feel the faint shaking of his last resort kicking in, the shocks waves caused by several explosives charges ripping the Final Egg apart were spreading up through the metal structure, causing it all to shake more and more wildly.

It couldn't be long before the buildings foundation gave out and they all ended up a smear on the jungle floor, except for him, his mecha came with built in hover engines.

Struggling to stand still, Sonic risked glancing into the empty hole that had held the central lift running up and down the main shaft. In the distance he could clearly make out the flashing light of several explosions. "Tails, grab onto me, we got to get out of here, Tails!"

Turning around to see why his buddy wasn't answering, Sonic blinked as he spotted the young fox staring in complete shock at something behind him, something that had come out of the main shaft, but what.

Facing the shaft again, Sonic's gaze swept over the hole to land on a transparent figure standing proudly there, eight legs sticking out to the sides as a massive tails rose up from behind it, several eyes turning to stare at him as its mouth opened and closed repeatedly like a goldfish. "Chaos."


Having gotten the rather large gemstone out of the pit it had landed in, Rouge faced Amy and Cream who were both busy trying to wring as much water out of their clothes as they could without removing them. "There, we got it out of the hole, anything else you want me to do for you?"

Staring at Rouge, Amy grunted a bit before shaking her head. "No, thank you for your help Rouge." Her voice sincere even as her eyes were busy trying to figure out what Rouge wanted out of this. "You sure you're okay? You didn't look to steady on your feet before."

Next to her, Cream looked up as well. "Yes miss Rouge, you shouldn't be running around, you were hurt remember." Her voice taking on a slightly apologetic tone, when she remembered that Rouge and Omega had shown up to save the Master Emerald from the Egg pawn when she had been unable to do it herself. "You should be resting."

"Oh give it a rest." Rouge fired back as she planted both hands on her hips, ignoring the several bruise, bones and other injuries telling her what a stupid thing that had been. "I've been hurt before, and compared to those times, this is nothing."

Giving her a non-believing look, Amy simply nodded as she walked over to look at the Master Emerald, the thing looking much larger now that it wasn't stuck in a water hole. "So, where do we take this thing anyway, I doubt my apartment would be a good place to store it."

Getting an even more concerned expression, Cream wondered if she should tell Amy that her apartment was currently nothing more then a smoking ruin, well more like a washed out ruin by now. "Um, maybe we should just take it over to Tails home, it just up on top of that hill right?"

Looking in the direction that Cream pointed, Amy grinned a bit sheepishly as she had completely forgotten about the young fox home away home workshop and airfield. "Well, it's a place, plus it closer then my apartment."

And not burnt into a pile of rubble, Rouge thought bitterly as she watched Cream and Amy lift up the gem. Her own home was a pile of smoking bricks and concrete pillars by now. Her club burnt to the ground like that, the place she had struggled so hard to make ends meet with, the one place she could always count on in such a busy jewel thief's hectic life as hers, gone.

And what wouldn't Shadow say, he no longer had a place to hide out any longer, no place deemed safe spot from G.U.N's relentless hunt of him for something they didn't want to repeat. "Where do we go from now on?"

"Memory files indicate that it would be wisest for you to remain in Tails workshop for the time needed to heal." Omega blurted out as he moved to pick her up, already figuring out that she would protest this action, but that it was the most affective way to get the job done in.

Feeling the ground vanish as two strong and very cold metal arms picker her up, Rouge twisted to see Omega moved his eyes sensors away form her and towards the stairs leading up to Tails workshop. "Omega put me down, I can walk up these stairs on my own you know."

Regarding the female bat as she spoke, Omega began to walk up the staircase, ignoring her complaints and attempts to break lose, only offering out a s few words when she began to struggled to much. "Stop moving, or my computer tells me you will reopen a wound."

Smiling a bit at Rouge's stream out of complaints over getting treated like that, and Omega's simple reply. Amy struggled to make sure that the gem would fall back down and crush her as they carried it up the staircase. "You doing okay up there Cream?"

Struggling to hold the gem, Cream did managed to smile a bit at her friend even if it was a rather fake one. "I'm doing fine now Amy, but I don't know how much longer I can hold this."

Looking up the long flight of stairs they still had to walk up, Amy face fell a bit. "Just hold out Cream, we're almost to the test ground, and then we can take a break."

Still struggling, Cream nodded a bit as she used her ears to help her hold the thing up with as well. "If you say so Amy, but it better be soon, or I'm going to collapse." Above her, Cheese gave a loud chao sound in agreement.

Smiling a bit at the rather familiar and well missed scene, Amy sighed a bit as she continue to carry the gem stone up as Cream pulled on it to help. "It so nice to be back, I didn't really think I'd ever miss something so simple like this so much."

Grinning slightly, Amy continued to watch her surrounding as they carried the Master Emerald up to Tails workshop, truly seeing how alive this place was compared to the world inside the Master Emerald. And so much bigger then just the area around the shrine, no wonder Tikal also wanted to be free to experience it again.

And that was one thing she was sure off, Tikal wanted to be free, it had been clear in the way she spoke of having to return to the Master Emerald.

And Knuckles, trapped because he didn't want to have any of them be unhappy, she had meant to give him a bit of happiness so he wouldn't mope about all the time, and Tikal had seemed to cheer him up, however short her visit had been. So Tikal had been freed to help Knuckles become happy when she made her wish, so it was clear that Knuckles was more then happy together with Tikal then anyone else, otherwise both she and Knuckles would have been free.

But how to free them both without getting sent in herself, or anyone else for that matter? So Knuckles could be happy, Tikal free of the emerald to see the world and be with Knuckles, but most importantly, how to keep herself from getting trapped inside that giant gem again when they did free Knuckles and Tikal.

There was no way anyone would be willing to take her place right?


Reaching the small outcropping of rock and the still sparking body of Metal-Knuckles, Shadow narrowed his eyes as he saw the robot's sensors move to stare at him, it's eyes looking into his own. "Just hand over the fake emerald robot, and I'll leave you to rust."

Giving the robotic version of a laugh, Metal-Knuckles ignored the way Shadow narrowed his eyes. "I have no fear of you Shadow the Hedgehog, my systems are ruined beyond repair, I have only enough power for another ten minutes of run time, no matter what you do, it doesn't mean anything to me."

Returning to his silent observation of the sky above, Metal-Knuckles did noticed as Shadow leaned in over him, the sudden jolt of wires and sensors telling him that his chest plate had been opened. "So, you need this thing then, I guess Chaos got the Chaos Emerald you had, or you wouldn't be taking my fake one."

Shooting a dark look at the robot, Shadow stood up and frowned as the fake emerald took a few wires and connecting parts with it. "Stupid piece of." Reaching out to rip them off, Shadow froze as a faint humming sound of power ran from the emerald and into him.

Snapping his head up as the sound grew larger, Shadow stared as the foot of Eggman's base exploded into several large color fireballs, metal shards and concrete slabs flying through the air with each thunderous boom. "No!" Not wasting any time to remove the machine parts and wires still connected to the gem, Shadow called on the power hidden inside of it. "Chaos Control!"

The sudden warping sensation of space of time washing over him, down through the wires and into Metal-Knuckles, the robot giving a loud protesting sound it was dragged towards Shadow's destination.

The top of the tower were a glow had once more formed, this one followed seconds later by a roar that succeed in overpowering even the sound of the collapsing tower as it finally gave up and began to fall down completely.


Having made it to the top of the tower, Chaos wasted no time in lashing out, his first attack sending Eggman and his metal machine flying backwards through the air, several explosions ripping the mecha apart as it fell over the railing and into the destruction below.

After having dealt with the doctor, Chaos turned to face Sonic, sensing that the blue hedgehog had the final Chaos Emerald in his possession. While it wasn't needed anymore, the emerald's power could come in handy if the doctor were still alive somehow.

Staring at Sonic with impassionate eyes, Chaos finally gave a faint roar before storming forward, fully intent of taking the gemstone from the blue hedgehog. That way he could finally ensure that his chao were avenged.

"Take this!"

The sudden sound of the human he had worked for once, making the water monster stop, just in time to feel several solid objects enter into his body. The sheer force of them suddenly exploding inside of his body enough to send him flying in several directions at once.

Tracing the path that the missiles had taken to get into Chaos, Sonic smiled a bit when he noticed Eggman hovering in the air, this time only using his Egg-O-Matic to move in. "I see your trashcan didn't survive the fight Eggman?"

Smirking back over at Sonic, Eggman held a fist and shook it at him. "Laugh all you want hedgehog, next time it will be me who wins. You can count on it" Turning the Egg-O-Matic around, Eggman began to fly away, still grinning as he looked over his shoulder at Sonic. "And in case you forgot, it is only a matter of time before my fortress is completely destroyed hedgehog, and I doubt even you can escape that."

Laughing darkly as he faded away into the horizon, Eggman ignored the sight of Sonic giving him the bird in his rear view mirror; he was in too good a mood to let something like that upset him. The Hedgehog couldn't escape the collapse, which meant he was free to take over the world whenever he wanted.

Running over to stand next to Sonic, Tails stopped as a sudden sprout of water erupted below the hedgehog, the water carrying him higher up into the air as lights began to flare around it. "Chaos!"

Moving to try and help his hero, Tails gave a loud yelp as he felt a hand clamp onto his shoulder, the force of it making him turned around to see Shadow look at him with a dark expression, Metal-Knuckles remains hanging onto the fake emerald in his hand. "Shadow, you got to help Sonic!"

Titling his head to look up at the water sprout as it began to glow with even more power, Shadow shook his head as he pulled Tails in closer. "Forget it, the faker can handle this himself, Chaos Control!" Once again drawing on the Emeralds power, Shadow focused on the one place he knew to be a safe spot at the moment.

As the black and Red hedgehog warped away, the water sprout pulled in on itself to form a ball of water, four limps forming as a pair of large ice like wings shot out of the back of the sphere, the rest of the water reforming into a dragon like body that hovered in midair, seven different colored sparks coming from inside of its body.

Tuning his head to face to the Jungle, Chaos narrowed his eyes as he spotted several robots running away from the collapsing base. The sight causing the massive water dragon to open his mouth as a beam of green light shot out, it force ripping through the robots and setting part of the jungle on fire.

Inside Chaos's water dragon form, Sonic smirked as he saw Shadow save Tails, the fact that two tailed fox were gone meant he was no longer in danger, and the blue hedgehog could do the one thing he knew was the right to do at the moment.

Closing his eyes, Sonic felt the power of the Chaos Emeralds in the water around him, flowing freely into both him and Chaos in a steady amount, power that could allow him to put an end to this mess once and for all. Opening his eyes again, they had turned completely crimson as his fur began to waved and spark in a golden color, each of them showing the amount of power running through him.


The master Emerald glowed steadily as the seconds passed, each of them spent the same way as the last one. "So, got any ideas?" Amy finally asked, as she looked up, her eyes a bit bleary from staring right into the glowing gem for a long time without blinking. "Cause all I can think of it getting a few plants and use their life-force to free them, but a plant can't make a wish so I'm kind of stuck."

Turning her head to see Cream napping on the nearby couch, she sighed and moved to cover the young rabbit with a blanket when a faint ringing sound reached her ears. The sound making her turn to face the giant gem stone as it pulsed a bit brighter then before, each time drawing her closer to it. "Now what?"

Looking closer at it, her eyes widen as she spotted a small image forming inside of it, an image of Sonic hovering mid air as his fur became the color of solid gold, glowing regularly from the sheer power inside of him. "Sonic!" Her sudden and loud scream awakening the sleeping Cream who nearly fell of the couch from shock.

As well as cause Rouge to move out of the other room, her eyes half open as she cast an irritated look over at the pink hedgehog. "What are you yelling like that for?" Her voice showing just how tired she was as she slowly began to walk over to stare at the gemstone, trying to find out why Amy hadn't even answered her. "What the?"

"Is that Sonic?" Cream asked as she hovered up over the two of them to see what they were looking her, her eyes wide as she saw the glowing hedgehog hovering in the air, her eyes picking out several streams of water swirling around him. "What's with the water?"

"Sonic was trapped by Chaos." Tails answered as both he and Shadow popped up in the room, both of them looking over at the three girls. "Hey, when did Amy come back?" Tails asking the question as he briefly spotted her still staring into the gemstone. "And where's Knuckles?"

Waving a hand to shut him up, Rouge focused her attention on the master Emerald again. "We'll tell you later okay, right now we got to see this."


Hovering above the battle ground as the flaming wreckage of the tower collapsed completely, Chaos roared out in joy and triumph as once again the full power of all seven Chaos Emeralds flowed through its body, once again it had the power to seek revenge on everyone who had dared to hurt its off spring

And this time it had succeed, despite the appearance of the black and red hedgehog whose body flowed with the power of its own, it had won, the two tailed fox had disappeared into the realm of chaos with the strange hedgehog, and the creature who had freed it so long ago was soon to be dead.

The Chao killer was gone, his evil no longer destined to foul up the world or endanger anything, all that was left was to destroy the remaining traces of his presence, and the world would be a much better place to live in.

Opening his mouth to spit out another searing hot beam of chaos energy at the burning jungle, Chaos stopped as a shock wave rippled through his body, the origin coming from the blue hedgehog who had been swallowed along with the last Chaos Emerald in order for him to be complete.

Opening his mouth again to eject the hedgehog's body before it did more damage, Chaos opened his eyes wide as the power of the Chaos Emeralds flowed away from him, their power getting drawn into this small creature making it hard to maintain flight, let alone focus on anything else but drawing back on that power.

Opening his eyes, Sonic felt his battered and oxygen deprived body grow warm again as power flowed through him, heedless of the fact that his transformation was turning Chaos Body into a twister of water as each emerald power was seeped away from him, Sonic stood up straight and accepted the change he had grown used to.

And with a final shockwave of power shooting out from him, Sonic ceased to be just a normal hedgehog as his body adapted a shining golden glowing color, his eyes blood red, but still filled with the joy of life and amusement he drew from facing a tough challenge each time he went up against Eggman.

Turning to face the water monster as its body was ripped apart and sent flying away by the last stage of his transformation, Super-Sonic narrowed his eyes as he focused on the space that the water had begun to hover towards. This was going to be the final confrontation between him and that creature if he had anything to say about.

"Chaos." And Super Sonic's words were plainly heard by the massive water dragon as it reformed several feet away from him, dragon like legs glowing with the chaos power he still had left to fight with. This time facing off against the one who had beaten him back in the past, when he had tried to get revenge on the world for nearly killing off his beloved Chao.

Rearing back his head as he gathered up power, Chaos shot it forward and let lose with a beam of pure Chaos Energy, the force of it ripping into the cliff face of the mystic ruins heavily, the rocks and tree getting blow up or torn down in a rock slide.

But the Yellow glowing hedgehog hadn't even been affected by it; it didn't even look like he had been pushed back at all by his attack. Moving forward to try a more direct attack, Chaos snapped open his water jaws, forming several sharp teeth as some of the water was frozen into ice.

Watching as the jaws moved to snap shut around him, Sonic simply lifted out a single hand in front of him, the chaos power inside of hid body flowing into it at his will. As the jaws finally closed in around him and he could feel Chaos's water form try to drain him of his chaos power, Sonic smirked as he let lose the power he had gathered up. "Chaos Control!"

And the world lit up with pure white light as an ever-expanding sphere formed in the air, Chaos barely having time to give a roar of surprise before he was swallowed up by it.

TBC.

AN: One last chapter to go, and the whole thing should be solved. But seriously, I had a lot trouble with this one, the final part of the plot wouldn't look good no matter how often I re-wrote it, but I'm hoping this last one will at least be somewhat decent.

A lot shorter then the last one, but you'll all have to live that.

One last chapter to go folks.
