Sonic Adventure Zero – Death of Angels
By Master hunter
Chapter 11 – Frantically Chasing Death
Sonic and Tails jumped out of the way of Knuckles' attack.
"Tails you go and fix those stones emeralds. I'll take care off Knuckles", said Sonic.
Tails flew towards the emeralds but was knocked straight to the ground by Knuckles' fist. Tails smashed into the ground and lay there unconscious.
"One down, one to go", said Knuckles.
"He was just a kid", said Sonic, "You're going to pay for this"
Sonic dashed towards Knuckles and got in a few punches. Knuckles fell backwards a little smiling.
"Now the fight has really began", said Knuckles.
The fight intensified with kicks and punches being thrown left, right and centre. After a while they stopped to take a breather.
"Hey Knuckles you've been working with Eggman to stop us. Does he know about the Master Emerald?" asked Sonic.
"Yeah I let it slip. Well enough talk let's continue", said Knuckles.
"No. If that emerald can lift this giant Island, what could it do to the Death Egg? No we should be concentrating on restoring the Emerald and guarding it from Eggman", said Sonic.
"Your tricks won't fool me", said Knuckles.
"It's not a trick. If Eggman comes here…" said Sonic.
Sonic's speech was interrupted by a punch from Knuckles. None of them was going to get past them. Meanwhile Tails woke up and rubbed the spot where Knuckles had hit him. Sonic soon noticed and nodded him on. Tails jumped on top of the Emerald.
"YOU! COLLECT THE BLUE SPHERE'S AVOID THE RED", shouted Knuckles.
A confused Tails disappeared. Sonic then dashed on top of one of the stone Emeralds.
"Enough fighting. I'll prove I'm on your side. You take the last one", said Sonic.
Sonic disappeared inside the Emerald. Knuckles didn't care anymore. With the two intruders restoring the stone super emeralds he could finally finish the job. Knuckles jumped on the last remained stone Emerald and disappeared inside.

Eggman had been watching it all from the roof of the palace. He had heard everything and concluded that the Master Emerald would be the perfect choice in raising the Death Egg back into orbit. Though he had also overheard that the Master Emerald still needed to be restored. As the three fighters disappeared into the Emeralds he waited over the Master Emerald and grabbed it with a crane attached to his Eggmobile.
Don't pick now to fail Hedgehog.

Sonic, Tails and Knuckles reappeared from their Emeralds to find that the Chaos Energy had started to return to the Master Emerald, though Eggman had grabbed it already and lifted it from its resting place.
"Damn, he heard everything", said Sonic.
Knuckles didn't say anything as he jumped and clung onto the Eggmobile.
"I WON'T LET YOU LEAVE WITH MY EMERALD", shouted Knuckles angrily.
Knuckles started smashing the side of the vehicle. Two small metal arms appeared and electrocuted the Echidna. He fell to the floor while Eggman managed to escape.
"He's going to raise the Death Egg. We have to get on there", said Tails.
"How?" asked Sonic.
"You need…height right…. with me", said Knuckles panting.
Knuckles punched an extravagantly decorated door down and dashed towards an orb sitting in a golden machine. Sonic and Tails followed.
"On…transporter", said Knuckles still panting.
Knuckles jumped on top of the transporter and disappeared. Sonic jumped on the transporter.
"Come on Tails", said Sonic.
Sonic disappeared and Tails jumped on the transporter too. He found himself rejoining the others on ruins covered in moss.
"This is…Sky Sanctuary… Quickly…Run to the top…Perhaps you could jump onto the spaceship…before it returns to orbit", said Knuckles almost collapsing with exhaustion.
"Doubt it. I'll call the Tornado to meet us here", said Tails.
Just then the Death Egg appeared in the background. It was rising up through the air, through the clouds.
"Hey this place is floating in the sky", said Sonic.
"It always does. Its ability to float has nothing to do with the Master Emerald. Please Sonic, get the Master Emerald back", said Knuckles starting to regain his strength.
Knuckles jumped over a large gap and hit a switch. A bridge appeared allowing the two heroes to continue.
"What about you?" asked Sonic.
"I'm too exhausted. You two go. Save us all", said Knuckles.
"We will. Come on Tails", said Sonic.
As the two heroes ventured through the Sky Sanctuary they were confronted by several Badniks shaped like Eggman. They carried big laser guns but their shots were easily avoided.
"They are not too tough", said Sonic while racing through the ruins.
"Haven't you learned anything by now? They are only here to slow us down", said Tails.
Their speedy venture through the Sky Sanctuary was soon stopped by a Robot Sonic that appeared in Eggman's Eggmobile. It carried a huge wrecking ball that swung from side to side.
"Oh not this again!" said Sonic.
"Isn't that the first Eggman weapon you ever faced?" asked Tails.
"Yes. All you need is well timed jumps and it falls quickly", said Sonic.
Sonic was surprised at just how quickly it fell. Two hits each and the machine exploded and disappeared.
"Come on, there's no time to waste", said Sonic.
The two heroes continued on only to be stopped again by the Robot Sonic. This time it appeared in the same contraption they met in Eggman's Metropolis.
"Ah come on! You're not even trying", said Sonic.
Sonic and Tails defeated the weapon the same way they did earlier and continued on. They saw the highest point of Sky Sanctuary and it was quite close to the Death Egg. The Tornado could be seen approaching the area.
"Plenty of time", said Sonic.
A blue streak appeared out of nowhere and split the two heroes in two. Sonic and Tails turned to face whatever ran straight through them. It was the Robot Sonic. It had been painted Blue and was quite well armoured.
"Remember me Hedgehog?" asked the Robot Sonic.
"Huh?" asked Sonic scratching his head in confusion, "Metal Sonic?"
"No. I am the finished version of Mecha Sonic, the one you faced on the Death Egg", said the Robot Sonic.
"Another weapon I've already beaten. Ok then bring it loser!" said Sonic.
Mecha Sonic span into a ball and bounced right in front of the two heroes. The Robot bounced over their heads and landed with its spikes facing them. It jetted through the heroes, who jumped out the way, and appeared on the other side of the arena.
"Man he's fast!" said Tails.
"But not fast enough", said Sonic dashing off to hit Mecha Sonic as it stood still preparing it's next attack.
He didn't have long but managed to get a couple of good hits. Mecha Sonic span into a ball and managed to hit both Sonic and Tails. The two heroes quickly sprang to their feet and dashed to attack Mecha Sonic. They managed to get a few more hits. The fight continued like this until Mecha Sonic collapsed sparking.
Though there was no time to celebrate as the Death Egg had got above the Sky Sanctuary. It had crashed through Sky Sanctuary, destroying half of it, including the bit connecting the arena where the fight had taken place to the rest of Sky Sanctuary. The arena started to fall to the ground as Sonic grabbed Tails and ran up spiral slope that led to the highest point of the Sanctuary. The tower they were running around started to collapse also. Sonic ran as quickly as he could and made it to the top.
Tails then took over and flew them both to the Tornado. Tails jumped in the cockpit and fired some missiles straight into the wall of the Death Egg closest to them. It created a hole big enough for Sonic and Tails to fit through but no the Tornado.
"I'm setting it to Auto Pilot. Come on let's jump aboard", said Tails.
"No. You stay behind, this is something I have to do alone", said Sonic.
"Not this time. You need me", said Tails.
"What do you mean?" asked Sonic.
"Enough chasing this thing. Let's blow it up, and you need me for that. I doubt you're any good at computer hacking", said Tails.
Sonic paused to think.
"Fine. But as soon as we set it to self destruct you are taking the first escape pod back to Earth", said Sonic.
Sonic and Tails jumped inside the Death Egg while the Tornado flew off to a safe hiding place. The Death Egg was quiet until a loud message could be heard over the tannoy system.
"It's them! All units battle stations. Sonic and Tails have entered the Death Egg", said Eggman.
"Well he knows we're here. You ready to fight our way to the core", said Sonic.
"Ready when you are", said Tails.
Sonic and Tails ventured through the metallic fortress. Most of it was black, with only the white light of the Electric traps breaking the sea of Black metal. It was huge and filled with many Badniks and Gravity and electricity related traps. They managed to reach the core only to find that Eggman had properly protected it with a dangerous security system.
A shield of Black orbs, like the one's surrounding the Metropolis weapon only much bigger, surrounded the computer. They moved from the top of the computer tower to the bottom and back up again randomly. Every time either Sonic or Tails managed to hit the machine one of the Black orbs exploded and fired a barrage of spikes in all directions. When all the orbs were gone the security system went into full alert and the red eye, that was the centre of the security system, burst out of the tower surrounding itself with two big spiked platforms.
"Hurry Tails. Do your thing while I'll take care of this", said Sonic.
Tails hacked into the computer system and set off the self destruct sequence. The whole room went red from the lights that worked with the sirens blasting through the base, telling all about the self destruct sequence. Sonic smashed into the Red eye shattering it. It smashed straight into the ground revealing a secret elevator to the outer area of the Death Egg. An artificial atmosphere made it possible to move through the area without having to worry about breathing.
The self destruct suddenly went off as they started to venture through the outer area of the base.
"You fools. This is my space station I make the rules", said Eggman over the tannoy system again.
"Dammit, it was worth a shot though right", said Tails.
Sonic didn't reply, instead he raced through the area until he came across and elevator and an escape pod.
"Right Tails. It's time for you to go back to Earth. Get in that pod now", said Sonic
"Aw! Can't I stay and fight Eggman with you", said Tails.
"No. It's too risky. I won't let you die", said Sonic.
Tails reluctantly went inside the escape pod.
"See ya on Earth Tails", said Sonic.
"You promise", said Tails.
Sonic paused for a moment.
"Yeah, of course. Now go", said Sonic.
Sonic released the escape pod and entered the elevator. He arrived in a strange arena with a huge metal orb in the middle. At the sides were two elevators that obviously switched the gravity, he had come across those types of elevators before. The orb released some spiked buggies while Sonic bounced off the bumper shield the orb defended itself with. Sonic tried to attack again but he couldn't hit the orb.
Maybe it's another masochist.
Sonic raced into the elevator and used it to switch the gravity. The buggies fell spike first onto the roof which was now the floor. A couple sliced through the orb machine while some stuck into the ground. Sonic picked one up and threw it at the orb machine. More spiked buggies fell out of the machine. Sonic used the same technique again and again until the machine took enough damage to explode. It crashed into one of the elevators to reveal Eggman at a computer console. Eggman dashed off and got some distance before Sonic could start chasing.
"You're not going to get away that easily", said Sonic.
