The Power of Chaos

Metal continued to stand there in shock.

"But, but how! I have all of the Chaos Emeralds! You can't transform! It's impossible! Was my data on the Emeralds wrong? Was there a flaw, a loophole, a minor detail I missed?"

"There is nothing wrong with your data." Amic was talking in Knuckles voice.

"WHA! Knuckles!"

"That's right. I told you that Amic and I would kill you. And here we are, ready to fulfill my prophecy! When I took the power out of the Master Emerald, THIS is where it went. And this will be the power that stops you in your tracks!"

"Hahaha! What a pleasure! To kill two birds with one blast!"

Amic's voice returned. "It's time we got to business now. Let's go!"

Amic went for Metal. They started punching and blocking one another. Amic grabbed Metal's leg and started flying around, smashing Metal into every building near him. He finally threw Metal back. Metal stopped and fired a blast. Amic quickly dodged it.

"You disappoint me, hedgehog! It seems like your using full power. And I am yet to be amazed. Too bad this will have to end so soon."

Metal quickly dashed at Amic and went for a punch. Amic quickly blocked it and kicked Metal back.

"Looks like I might have to go to over half power," Metal thought to himself.

"Listen, Amic." It was Knuckles talking to him. "When he finds out how truly strong you are, he might go to full power, or even take drastic measures. And if that happens then your training will be a waste of time."

"So what do you suggest we do?"

"I know a little 'poem' for you to tell him."

"A poem! What are you, nuts?"

"Just listen and repeat to him, but say it loud enough for him to hear."

Metal could hear Amic talking. "Are you talking to yourself? Ah, must be Knuckles. Either way, you're mine!"

Metal went for Amic again. But this time, Amic put his hand out. Metal quickly stopped.

"Wait! I want to say my last words before this ends."

"HAHAHA! Giving up so easily! I was expecting more of you! Fine, say your last words so I can kill you."

Amic put his hands together and bowed his head. He started glowing green.

"The servers are…the seven chaos…"

"WHAT? OH NO!"

"…Chaos is power, enriched by the heart." Metal started glowing green.

"The controller is the one that unifies the chaos."

"NO!"

"Chaos Emeralds! Come to me!" Amic yelled. Metal continued to glow, but nothing happened.

"Emeralds! Come!" Still nothing. Metal stopped glowing.

"I don't understand. That chant ALWAYS works." Knuckles became confused.

"HAHAHA! I guess the emerald protection technology built in me DOES work. I never thought that it had a chance with THAT strategy, but I guess I was proven wrong!"

"No. It was the best chance of defeating him and it didn't work. Damn!" Knuckles became very disappointed, and started to feel that there was no hope left.

"HA! You think I need a few WORDS to defeat you! You misjudged me, Metal! I'll beat you down with my bare hands!" Amic started spinning.

"Sonic Boom!" A sound as loud as an explosion burst into the sky. A sound wave suddenly hit Metal. Amic, in a ball, suddenly came up and rammed into Metal, pushing him into a mountain.

Shadow looked up at the battle. "Mitsuko, your dad may need our help. Be prepared to jump in soon, got it?"

"How come I gotta jump in? I don't wanna fight. Besides, my daddy's doing good."

"Because Metal might have a trick up his sleeve, that's why!"

Amic threw a lot of punched into Metal's stomach. Metal kneed Amic chin, then did a flip, kicking Amic into the ground. Metal came in for him, but Amic quickly jumped back. They started punching and dodging and blocking each other. Amic jumped back.

"Here's another trick of mine that I'd like to use! Chaos Control!"

Amic disappeared, but Metal did too. A boom was heard and out of nowhere, Amic flew right into a building. He made his way out of the pile of cement.

"You think I don't know that trick! You already forgot that I have all seven Chaos Emeralds in me?"

"Shoot! I didn't think straight that time. I should have known." Amic thought to himself. Metal landed and started walking towards him.

"Well, so far so bad. You have any other requests before you die?" Metal was in front of the lying Amic. Amic quickly put his hand up and blasted Metal, sending him into the sky. As it blew up, Metal flew out of the smoke and headed straight for Amic.

"You'll wish you hadn't done that!" Metal threw a punch at Amic, but he quickly rolled to the side, and Metal's fist went into the ground. Amic kicked Metal in the chin and jumped up and flew for Metal. When he stopped stumbling back, Metal shot laser beams from his eyes. Amic dodged them and punched Metal in the gut, and then kicked the side of his head. Metal slid on the ground.

"You've made me look like a fool for the last time, hedgehog! Now you will see my FULL POWER!"

Metal powered up and when he was done he had a blue aura.

"Now, let me show YOU my inventory of techniques!" Metal put his arms against his chest. Suddenly, he split into four. There were four Metals standing in front of Amic.

"Prepare to die!"

Two of the Metals disappeared. The other two threw blasts at Amic. Amic jumped into the sky. The two that disappeared reappeared on each side of him. Amic started blocking each of the punches they threw. They landed on top of a building and continued. One Metal kneed Amic in the gut, and the other one smashed Amic into the building they were on.

As the four waited, Amic blew the whole building up. He came out and kicked one Metal, then blasted another. One came from behind to punch him, but he blocked it and punched him back. Three Metals surrounded him, and the fourth one came down and rammed Amic in the back. Amic moved out of the way and kicked him into the ground. He flew at another Metal and kneed him and hand smashed him toward the sleeping Metal. He then punched another Metal and kicked it towards the Metal pile. He finally kneed the last Metal in the gut and kicked him onto the pile. The pile of Metals became one again.

"One again, you underestimated me Metal. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Metal looked up at Amic in much anger. "I WILL kill you hedgehog!"

Metal flew up and tried stabbing Amic with his fingers. Amic continued to dodge his shots, and finally grabbed Metal's arm. He threw Metal back on the ground.

"How can this be happening? How can I, with all 7 Chaos Emeralds, be outclassed by a hedgehog with ONE emerald?"

"Don't you see, Metal? My full power is way beyond yours! You lose! I think it's time for YOU to give up, and put your evil ways to rest!" Metal looked up in surprise.

"So he IS at his best! I guess the full power of the Chaos Emeralds IS bigger than the full power of the Master Emerald!" Metal started laughing out loud.

"HAHA! You must have gone crazy! Never thought you would be beat by a hedgehog AGAIN, eh?"

"No. Not at all kid. For YOU are the crazy one." Metal stood up.

"I never thought I would have to do this. But it doesn't bother me." Metal floated up and ended across from Amic.

"Here is another trick I would like to show you. One that even YOU can't overpower!" Metal balled his hands into fists. He started powering up. Before everyone knew it, Metal transformed, becoming Hyper Metal Sonic. His body was golden, and his aura was golden. But his eyes were red and demonic. The same eyes Sonic faced those many years ago before he died.

"I hope you enjoyed your life, hedgehog," Metal said in his devilish voice, "because this is when it ends!"
