100 Percent Power

Amic turned his head and faced Metal with a smile on his face.

"You're going to have to do better than that if you want to hurt ME."

Metal stepped back a big, surprised that his punch, which he put all of his power into, did nothing to Amic. He then gave a small chuckle.

"Heh, if it's my best you want, then it's the best you'll get."

Metal flew back and put his hands into the air. He summoned energy between his hands.

"Because I am able to harness the power of the emeralds, I can also use attacks that were used WITH the emeralds. This attack is from a well known being called 'Chaos.'" The energy in his hands gave a colorful glow.

Chaos? He can duplicate the powers of Chaos himself? But how? I'm pretty sure Sonic would've been able to do the same when he fought Metal

"Maybe…" Shadow said, going into thought, "Metal can redo anything the chaos emeralds were used for because of the technology built in him. But if that's true, then…"

Then he could duplicate… oh no!

"Are you ready, hedgehog?"

Metal threw his hands out towards Amic. A huge colorful beam that looked exactly like the beam Chaos used long ago. It headed for Amic as he looked at it in confidence. He put his hands out and completely stopped them beam. But then he noticed that he started to slide back, inch by inch. The beam was getting stronger, bit-by-bit.

"Shadow! Mitsuko! Get from behind me!"

As they got out of the way, Amic was pushed back as the beam continued. He put his arms up and protected himself as the beam went through him. Amic struggled through the beam as he put his hands out and shot a beam, breaking the beam in half. It headed straight for Metal.

"No way. NO WAY!"

The beam hit him and blew up. Everyone except Amic took cover as it blew a lot of dust everywhere. When the dust cleared, Amic still stood, and so did Metal. But Metal's skin was badly scratched everywhere on his body. A wire sparked on one of his legs. And a small purple color shone dimly from inside it.

"Enough of this! You are DEAD!"

Metal flew at Amic and swung at him, but he disappeared. He reappeared high above him and waved. Metal flew up and swung again, but Amic moved his head to the side, dodging him. Metal kicked at Amic, but he disappeared again and reappeared behind him.

"Just give up, Metal. I'm obviously too powerful for you. You have no chance against me."

"Maybe if you would stop RUNNING, I would be too powerful for YOU!"

"Heh, I doubt it."

Metal became furious and quickly turned around, making a left hook at Amic's face. He continued to punch him in the face. After a while, Metal stopped and flew back a bit to see the damage he had done. Amic's face looked really bad, but he gave a smile.

"Do you STILL believe that running is the only reason why you're losing?"

Amic! Listen up! Don't let Metal attack anymore. He may not be as strong as you, but he is just as dangerous.

"Don't sweat it, Knuckles. I have everything under control. You just sit back and let me handle this."

You don't understand, Amic! He has the ability to use an attack that can destroy this entire planet. End this fight now! If you don't, he might use the-

"Hold that thought. Metal's coming."

Metal flew at Amic and went for a punch, but Amic quickly flipped and kicked Metal to the ground. Amic landed and started walking towards him. Metal started firing rapid energy blasts at him. He kept going and going, but when he finally stopped, Amic continued walking towards him. They were finally face to face. Metal had a surprised and scared look on his face. Knuckles started talking through Amic.

"What are you so afraid of, Metal? Isn't this what you wanted, a challenge? It must be if you continued to kill people! I warned you! I told you that we would kill you! And now that you're seeing the prophecy come, true, you're afraid. Because you know that we are going to destroy you!"

Metal became surprised and quickly flew into the air. He put his hands out and green energy started to form in them. He put his hands together and the energy became a huge ball with green particles being absorbed by it.

Oh no! We're too late!

"HERE YOU GO! THIS IS SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO HAVE! I'M GOING TO BLOW UP THE EARTH, AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO!"

"Yeah, well we'll see about that!" Amic started to charge an energy attack.

"SORRY TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE, HEDGEHOG, BUT ENERGY ATTACKS WON'T FAZE THIS ATTACK! ANY ENERGY THAT'S USED AGAINST IT BECOMES PART OF IT, MAKING IT STRONGER!"

Amic fired his blast at the enormous ball, but it went straight into it and made it even bigger. Amic stared in surprise and fear.

"…Oh…no…" Amic knew that there was nothing he could do to stop Metal from his madness. He looked down at the ground.

"Daddy, get out of there! He's gonna do it!" Mitsuko warned his father, running to take cover.

"No…no matter how far we run, we'll still blow up with the rest of the planet." Shadow looked down. "It's…over."

"ECLIPSE CANNON!"

A gigantic beam was fired, getting bigger as it got closer to the earth.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Shadow yelled.

"Daddy, aren't you going to do something?" Amic continued to look down, disappointed in himself, wishing that he had listened to Knuckles. He looked and saw Shadow, down on his knees, shaking with fear. He looked back at Amic as a tear went down his cheek.

No…we can't lose the fight…not like this… Amic, there has to be SOMETHING you can do!

Amic still continued to look down, with nothing on his mind that he could do.

"Nothing will work. None of the techniques that I learned while training in the ARK can save us now."

Then try an old one!

As soon as Knuckles said this, an idea quickly flew into Amic's mind. Mitsuko and Shadow looked as Amic quickly turned into a ball and spun very fast. Suddenly, a huge amount of energy flew from the ground, going towards Metal's attack. The energy hit against Metal's, and started pushing Metal's ball of energy back towards him.

"How is he doing that? I thought Metal said that energy would be absorbed if it touched his attack?"

Shadow looked up in surprise, seeing that Mitsuko was right! There WAS energy pushing the Eclipse Cannon back. But he started to look even harder.

"Look really close, Mitsuko! It's not energy that's pushing the energy. It's AMIC pushing the energy!"

And right Shadow was. Amic was spinning in a ball, using his energy to push him to push Metal's attack back at him.

"NO!NOOOO!IMPOSSIBLE!"

As the energy slowly went up, Amic's energy became bigger than Metal's. Amic's energy began to overlap Metal's as Metal's energy disintegrated. Metal tried as hard as he could to push the energy away, but it continued towards him.

"NOOOOOOO!"

As Metal put his arms up to guard himself, the energy began to engulf him. Metal was completely torn apart from Amic's energy. It continued to go into the sky, and eventually into space. As Mitsuko and Shadow looked up, all they could see was light. And Amic was falling from the sky. He hit the ground as Shadow and Mitsuko ran towards him. They helped picked him up.

"I'm alright you guys. I'm ok."

"You did it, daddy! You destroyed Metal! Now we can go home!"

"Not quite, you guys." Shadow said as he pointed up. Floating in the sky was a surprised and completely scrapped Metal. Part of his head was gone, his left arm and part of his right arm was gone, his leg was gone, and one of his feet was gone. And as they looked up, Shadow noticed the Chaos Emeralds that were wrapped in wires, hanging from Metal's head, arms, and leg.
