There was a flash of silver metal and then explosions rung out through the small city, buildings, cars and anything that got in the way of this lightning fast onslaught was destroyed in an instant. GUNs drones had already been called into action but they were proving as very little threat to what these strange creatures were.
The people couldn't believe there eyes whenever they finally managed to get a glimpse of the beings destroying their homes as they seemed so familiar yet foreign to their eyes.
A lone GUN troop pulled himself from under the wreckage of what had once been one of GUN Big Foot arsenal; he was badly injured but would live. He brought his radio to his mouth and spoke in short breaths.
"I…I don't believe it…they have all lost it…the Sonic Heroes are destroying Station Square…"
He didn't want to believe what he was saying, what his eyes were telling him but after what had happened on Prison Island he wasn't to sure, all he could do from where he lay was to look up at the small army of figure standing atop a far roof. He couldn't make out any great detail but he recognised the lead figures shape…Sonic the Hedgehog…
OOO
A young boy bee had been sitting awake in Spike's apartment for quite sometime. Charmy had always prided himself on being one of the very few people who could get by on very little sleep and retain their youthful energy all day round.
He was currently trying to be as quiet as he could as he flew from room to room, making sure to not wake any of the sleeping bodies. At the end of the party the previous night everyone had really just slept where they fell, most of the girls had either a bed or couch, or something soft to sleep on while the guys made do with the floor.
The young bee had loved the party, it had been the first time in a long time he'd seen the whole Chaotix crew just having fun, ever since they had thought Sonic dead everyone had become quite a bit…darker in a way. Sure they went out every now and then but last night's party was different, they really were having fun.
He let out a slight laugh as he recalled how badly Espio took losing at twister and how Nack had managed to beat Vector in a drinking contest, and the fact that Nite and Knuckles had been arm wrestling for two whole hours with neither of them gaining the upper hand.
For time in ages, Charmy Bee was actually happy.
He buzzed over to the TV and sat down in front of it, lifting the controller and switching the device on but making sure to keep the volume turned right down so as he didn't wake the other. He planned to watch some cartoons until the other awoke of their own free will.
Maybe than new anime is on
He grinned widely.
What's it called…I Turn To You?
He shrugged, and frowned the instant the TV was on as it was currently switched to 24 hour news. Well he should have guessed seeing as who lived in the apartment, but just as he was about to change the channel when something caught his eye. Mainly the headline, "Station Square Chaos!"
Then his eyes went wide as he saw what looked like himself only coated in silver smash through a row of cars, soon followed by a silver version of Vector lifting a truck and tossing it into a building with a rather large explosion.
"WE'RE DESTROYING THE SQUARE!
Then something registered with the little bee's mind.
"Wait…if we're here then how can we be destroying Station Square…unless we're not actually here but there and I just think I'm here but I'm actually out destroying stuff but then why would I want to destroy my own home…ohhhhhhh"
The bee whined.
"My head hurts…better tell Vector before it hurts more…"
"CHARMY!" came a rather familiar crocodile's voice as Vector practically kicked the door to the room open, "What have I told ya about yelling in the…WHAT THE!" his eyes locked on the TV, and he blinked several times "…I'm on TV?"
OOO
Everyone seemed on edge and rather annoyed that people thought they were destroying Station Square, especially after the amount of times they had saved it. After watching the news and summarising that they now each had been copied somehow, they had decided it was Eggman's fault. It usually was so it was the logical choice. But they weren't going to solve anything if they just sat around shouting about how they never get a rest and how Station Square should have a better police force by now.
"Alright everyone…" spoke up the white female wolf, from what she had seen so far on the news Trance was the only one to not have a copy and as she was the calmest out of everyone at the present moment she had decided to try and take command, just until someone better qualified managed to clear their mind, but from what she could sense from everyone it wasn't going to happen too soon.
All eyes in the room turned to her, and she suddenly felt very small, but she just swallowed hard and continued on managing to brave the rather intimidating group, "They're obviously split up into different teams, namely metal versions of your own teams…I think you should split up and track down your team's copies…"
They continued to stare at her and she looked away, her bravery finally fizzling away.
"But I'm sure whatever you decide will work out just as well…"
All of the heroes turned to each other; they had already subconsciously split up into their old teams. They all then turned to Sonic, he had led them in the past and they had succeeded, so there was no reason that he wouldn't succeed once again.
The blue hedgehog just shrugged a familiar confident grin on his face.
"Sounds like fun, and after my LONG vacation a little work is in order, so let's get this party started!"
With that all of the groups took off in different directions, heading for where their metal copy cats had last been seen but Nite paused next to Trance for awhile, smiling caringly at her.
"Trance…you could try to keep us all up to date…you know…psychically, its good to now you got our backs"
With that the black wolf took off running after his old team, leaving Trance standing outside the green porcupine's apartment, a pink blush across her cheeks as she smiled after the wolf.
"Thank you…N-Kun…"
