A revenge unsatisfied
Disclaimer: Metal Amy and Fistika are mine, the other two fan characters probably won't appear in this chapter, and if they do there still mine. Now don't forget... oh and Sega and Sonic team own the rest.
"So brother, where are these twenty emeralds?" Metal Knuckles watched as Metal Sonic pulled out a yellow device which looked like a portable television.
"Well, according to this device..." Metal Sonic studied it momentarily. "One of the chaos emeralds is constantly moving, so presumably someone has that one, the rest are in two groups, one on the floating island and one... somewhere I don't recognise, presumably a military base." The Tails doll tried looking over Metal Sonic's shoulder, while Metal Knuckles began checking his weaponry "So, the floating island first?" Metal Sonic nodded.
"Hay, guys, are we overlooking a little problem?" Asked Metal Amy. "You know, the fact anyone could see us building the final death egg a mile off?"
"Don't worry, I know of one of Eggman's old bases which would be perfect for this. His underwater pacific base." Metal Amy nodded, as if to approve the base.
"So, shouldn't we get to the floating island?"
"Patience Metal Amy, we need to be fully prepared for Knuckles or any other hazards which may arise." Metal Sonic tossed his emerald tracker aside and picked up a bag. "Brothers, are you all packed?" The tails doll and Metal Knuckles both nodded. Metal Sonic rummaged through a near by chest, occasionally stuffing a weapon into his bag. "There should still be room in this bag for the emeralds. Right, we're off, come brothers!" Before Metal Sonic could fly off Metal Amy grabbed him.
"Hay, what about me?" Metal Sonic turned to face her.
"You're not made for combat, of what use will you be?" Metal Sonic prepared to fly off again, but Metal Amy swiped his bag. She then threw it into a hidden compartment.
"I have a lot of space." The Tails doll walked up to Metal Sonic.
"I don't think we can rid of her." Metal Sonic laughed.
"I always admire a rebellious streak, that's what got me to where I am. Come on brothers, and Metal Amy." Metal Amy made a gesture which could be translated as a smile (for someone with no mouth). The four of them flew off in the direction of the floating island. As they flew off Metal Sonic turned to Metal Amy. She was defiantly different.
On the floating island Fistika was leaving to pursue his revenge on Knuckles. Tikal stood behind him as he boarded his vehicle.
"Must you do this Fistika? You already killed his farther, why must you do the same to him?" Fistika didn't even look back at her.
"Because of General Knuckles, I lost everything, and are currently being forced to do the bidding of others. Thanks to him I am here. Only one person I know is still alive. My life's purpose of power is slowly running away and I can't take chase. That is why I have to do this!" Tikal put a hand on his shoulder.
"Maybe your thirst of power isn't completely blameless."
"Maybe, but it's part of my purpose. Without it I might as well be dead." Tikal let go of his shoulder. "You forget. I am the bad guy, and the bad guy kills." There was a tone of sadness in Fistika's voice. He sat in the pilots seat and made the vehicle hover slightly. "Oh, and is that blue dude going to be okay?" Tikal smiled slightly.
"You're not that strong Fistika." Fistika smiled as well. With the spirit lightened slightly he decided to make his exit.
"Who's that, my scanner doesn't recognise him." Metal Amy turned to the other robots. They had been able to get to the floating island in next to no time thanks to a few moderations Metal Sonic had made to there thrusters. Metal Sonic looked in the direction Metal Amy was facing.
"Lets see... Fistika? How can he be here, he's meant to be in a G.U.N prison." Metal Sonic double checked. Yep, Fistika was there. "Wait, of course! He want the emeralds to turn into that monster again!" Metal Sonic turned to the other robots. "Were changing course, get him out of the way first." Everyone nodded and followed Metal Sonic.
"What's that?" Fistika pointed at four dots in the sky. No sooner had he finished his sentence than he was knocked out of his vehicle by a robotic fist. He was knocked to the ground and pummelled by Metal Sonic. Fistika kicked him off and narrowly avoided the Tails doll's machine fire. Fistika ducked Metal Sonic's fist and Metal Knuckles' foot. The machine gun fire came millimetres from Fistika's face as he leaned backwards to doge two spin attacks. Metal Knuckles glided at Fistika. Fistika grabbed Metal Knuckles and spun him around. He knocked Metal Sonic and was flung at the Tails doll, who fell over backwards. Metal Knuckles got up and attacked Fistika with an on slaughter of punches. Fistika couldn't block the fists fast enough and became an living punching bag. Metal Sonic fired missiles at Fistika, adding to the pain. Metal Knuckles punched Fistika onto his knees and followed with one last almighty punch. Metal Sonic advanced on the blood soaked mess that was Fistika. Fistika looked at him. "Hello... Metal Sonic wasn't it? What brings you here?" Fistika tried to stand up, but was still to weak after Metal Knuckles assault.
"Hello Fistika, are we out on good behaviour already?" Metal Sonic pulled Fistika up by his neck.
"You could say I'm out on bad behaviour." Fistika's words were half strangled. (for the obvious reasons). Tikal ran over to Metal Sonic, but was halted by Metal Knuckles.
"Why are you attacking him?" Shouted Tikal. Metal Sonic dropped Fistika and turned to Tikal.
"How many echidnas are there? You're all suppose to be dead!" Metal Sonic was about to whack Tikal, but restrained himself. "So, what? Are you Fistika's partner or something."
"No. Just a friend, of sorts." Tikal looked up at Metal Sonic with fear. "You still haven't told me why you attacked him." Fistika laughed, which came out mostly as coughs.
"Oh, I just foiled his attempt to kill a blue hedgehog. Still not sure what you had against him, but then, why should I care?" Metal Amy looked at Fistika, then at his vehicle.
"Metal Sonic, if Fistika wants the chaos emeralds, then why dose it look like he was about to leave?" Tikal turned from Metal Amy to Metal Sonic.
"You thought he was after the emeralds? No! He didn't what them!" Metal Sonic looked at Tikal for a second.
"You're that girl... the one with Chaos..." There was a pause as Metal Sonic thought through what to do next. "Well, I can tell there's been a misunderstanding here. We'll let you take Fistika to recuperate." Metal Sonic turned to his comrades. He sent them all message reading 'Knuckles isn't here, she's looking after the place, he can get rid of here for a while this way.
"Don't worry about me," Fistika had dragged himself to his vehicle, "I've still got a job to do." With that Fistika flew off the island.
"Okay," Metal Sonic rubbed the back of his neck, "I Think me and my group will get back to what we were doing." Metal Sonic awkwardly looked around before retreating with the other robots. Tikal was left alone, feeling slightly confused.
Shadow and Amy waited in Amy's apartment. Sonic had gone to Tails to see what he could uncover about A.M.M.O and Prisal. Nack had stayed with his farther. Amy was rummaging through the fridge and Shadow was sitting at the table, entangled in thought.
"Amy." Shadow suddenly called. Amy turned to look at him. "I'm sorry that this search for my past is taking up so much of our lives." Amy smiled and walked up to him.
"Oh Shadow. I don't mind at all, everyone deserves a past, not bits of one." Shadow smiled slightly to. Amy sat down next to him.
"As soon as this is all over and done with, I'll take you somewhere nice." Shadow claimed. The two stared at each other before embracing. Shadow and Amy's lips pressed together and there arms wrap around the others body. There eyes were closed and Shadow ran his hands across Amy's spine.
"Hay, we've got the... opps, bad timing?" Sonic burst into the room with Tails. Shadow and Amy pulled apart and turned to Sonic.
"Yeah, really bad." replied Shadow. The smile was no longer on Shadow's face as he got down to business. "What did you discover." Sonic stepped aside to let Tails through.
"A.M.M.O was an old military organisation. They showed a large interest in the A.R.K project and even lead many projects on the space station. There leader in this time, a John Minor, was a man of questionable morals. He had strong beliefs in using weapons of mass destruction for defence. He died about forty one years ago." Amy turned to Shadow.
"Weren't you frozen then?" Shadow rose his hand to quiet her.
"Yeah, anyway, forty seven years ago the military organisation was challenged by a different one working in much the same area. After that A.M.M.O only lasted five more years before being shut down and being permantly replaced with the new organisation."
"Who was the other organisation?" Asked Shadow. Tails raised one eyebrow.
"What other military organisations do you know of?"
"G.U.N! That's impossible! G.U.N massacred everyone of A.R.K fifty years ago!" Shadow was shouting.
"Apparently you got your facts wrong 'Shad'." Stated Sonic. Shadow glanced angrily at Sonic.
"What did you find about Prisal?"
"Nothing. The guy doesn't exist, hell, the word doesn't even exist." Tails paused momentarily.
"Shadow, can't you give us any more information?" Shadow shook his head. Sonic snapped his fingers.
"Well we have come to another dead end." Sonic turned to leave.
"Wait, why don't we use the time stones to see what happens?" Shadow had just remembered the mysterious stones Fistika had used to turn himself into a unstoppable creature.
"No can do." Sonic claimed. "We kinda sent the things into the past, you know, to stop them getting in the wrong hands." Shadow sighed. Sonic, what an idiot.
"Sonic, if you sent them back into the past, then they'll be here again, won't they?" Tails nodded in agreement to Shadow's obvious point. "Lets go get them."
