Scientists worked feverishly putting the finishing touches to a giant green machine which occupied the middle of there lab. One of the scientists carefully placed cylinders, each with individual blood samples, into a small opening on the side of the machine. Close to the hustle Snipe watched with little interest. A scientist ran around the room in random directions, checking everything was working perfectly. After a while the commotion died down slightly and a scientist, obviously the groups leader, stood levitated above his peers.
"It is finally time! The Ultimate Weapon project we have been working on for such a long time has reached the final stage of its completion. With a flip of a switch, we shall have the greatest soldier to live! A hundred percent loyal, with the skills and power to destroy anything. So chaps, let us begin!" The scientist ended his short speech and pulled a close by lever. The machine in the middle of the room erupted with life. It began to shake and stumble, almost shaking itself off the floor. A few scientists ran to a near by control panel in an attempt to stabilise the machine. Steam began to come out of the machine. A scream emerged from within it. Everyone in the room ran to the sides of the room as the machine turned white. The machine gave one last struggle in an attempt to escape, and exploded. The room filled with smoke.
"I...remember..." A deep voice echoed in the room. "I have memories... but these are not mine..." Giant bat wings flap away some of the smoke from the figure who now stood in the centre of the room. "...These are the memories of something weak, frail..." The smoke began to settle. The scientists and Snipe looked on in awe. "...The memories of my Beta... but I am not him..." A white Hedgehog with large bat wings, fangs, a black tuff of fur on his chest, black eyes with red pupils, black gloves and a stare which pierced into the soul and cut it to ribbons. "I am the Ultimate Weapon"
Sonic, Tails. Knuckles, Rouge, Omega and Nack all rushed towards G.U.N's holding room. After there encounter with Snipe everything seemed to have got pretty quiet. Knuckles was tense.
"This is not right." He muttered. Everyone ignored his statement, but they too felt something wasn't quite right. They were expecting the security to tighten around Shadow, but there was none as they came closer.
"Where is everyone?" Tails finally asked. The group came to a stop and looked around.
"There planning something, they must be." Rouge claimed. Omega looked around.
"Scanners detecting no signs of life in the area, there are however many cameras operational." The robot announced.
"That helps." Sonic sarcastically remarked.
"Look, can't we just jump on this opportunity?" Nack asked, just wanting to get out of the base as fast as possible. The others silently agreed and continued moving.
Shadow watched as the guards outside of the cells received some order through there ear piece and left the room.
"Where do you suppose they're going?" Amy asked. Shadow was silent. Shadow hadn't said anything after discovering Prisal's secret. His mind had lost all focus as it tried to process countless questions per second. What the questions were Shadow could no longer tell. A shadow fell across the room. Shadow looked around, but couldn't see a source to this obstruction of light. He felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned, expecting to see Amy, but instead saw nothing.
"I remember you Shadow, you are part of me." A voice came from behind Shadow. Shadow turned to nothingness. "You tried to kill my former form, but failed." The voice came from the opposite direction. Shadow didn't bother turning this time.
"Who are you?" Shadow asked. Laughter echoed off every wall. Before him the Ultimate Weapon became visible. The creature grinned at Shadow, sending a shiver down his spine.
"I am more than has ever been stuffed in the frame of a living being. I'm as near a god as a human can make. I am the true ultimate." The Ultimate Weapon claimed. Shadow looked at the white hedgehog.
"What?" Shadow questioned. The Ultimate Weapon whacked Shadow across the face. The Ultimate Weapon barley touched Shadow before he was on the floor. Amy ran up to here fallen love. The Ultimate Weapon walked up to the prison bars. He quickly disappeared and reappeared on the other side, staring at the door.
"The intruders will be here soon. Then the fun shall truly begin." The Ultimate Weapon turned to Shadow and Amy. "I am not allowed to kill prisoners. I am here for your friends. I will get you two once I'm allowed, which I imagine will be soon." The Ultimate Weapon paced around, eager to fight. Shadow picked himself up and watched the Ultimate Weapon.
"It's Beta." Shadow muttered quietly.
"Maybe once, but that was a former life." The Ultimate Weapon claimed. Shadow was surprised that the Ultimate Weapon had heard. The Ultimate Weapon walked up towards the bars, obviously restraining himself from knocking the life out of Shadow. A huge metal door began to creak behind the Ultimate Weapon. He turned chuckling. "Excellent"
Sonic had finally reached the holding room, his friends in tow. He slammed the button next to the door. The door groaned and creaked as it opened. When it had opened enough to see the room, Sonic noticed a White Hedgehog with bat wings standing in front of Shadow and Amy's cell. Sonic smiled and entered the room.
"So, did you get rid of all the soldiers?" Sonic asked.
"My master recalled them, as to test my powers." The Ultimate Weapon claimed.
"Isn't that a bit risky? Guarding the Ultimate life form with a single hedgehog?" Knuckles asked.
"You do not know me. Enough talk. I am here for much more." The Ultimate Weapon smiled, revealing many of his fangs. Sonic and Knuckles, unfazed, prepared to fight. Omega checked his guns. Rouge and Tails flew slightly above everyone and Nack stayed in the background. The Ultimate Weapon put an arm behind his back and beckoned them on with his other hand. In no time flat Sonic accepted the invitation and sprang. He spin dashed at the Ultimate Weapon. The Ultimate Weapon jumped over the attack and elbowed Sonic on his way down. Knuckles launched himself at the Ultimate Weapon at the same time Sonic threw a punch at the creature. With ease the Ultimate Weapon blocked all there attacks, without even taking his other hand from behind his back. Tails and Rouge flew to there friends aid and Omega fired spurts of bullets at the white hedgehog. The Ultimate Weapon threw Sonic at Tails, then Knuckles at Rouge, then finally dodged each bullet, catching the occasional one. The Ultimate Weapon threw any of the bullets he had cached back at Omega. The bullets flew at Omega at the same speed as if they had been shot at him. Omega had no chance of dodging and was hit repeatedly in the chest plate. The robot was knocked over.
"I think I know what Fistika was doing now." Muttered Knuckles. Rouge turned to Knuckles.
"What?" Knuckles ran at the Ultimate Weapon.
"Remember the Beta life form? He was made of Sonic and Shadow's DNA. I believe this may be a step up." Knuckles explained as he tried to jump the Ultimate Weapon's fist, but still got hit.
"I am more than a step up! I am the final step!" The Ultimate Weapon claimed. Sonic managed to get a hit in while the Ultimate Weapon was gloating.
"Shame they did nothing about that ego." Sonic mocked. The Ultimate Weapon grabbed Sonic with both hands. "Oh, I thought you were going to beat us with one hand. I'm not impressed." Sonic egged the Ultimate Weapon on.
"What is Sonic doing?" Amy asked, watching through the cell's bars.
"Isn't it obvious?" There was no enthusiasm in Shadow's voice. "He's trying to enrage the creature"
"Aw come on, can't you do any better." Despite the pain the Ultimate Weapon was inflicting on Sonic, the blue hedgehog kept on smiling. This was enraging the Ultimate Weapon to the point that he didn't realise the attack coming from behind. Knuckles elbowed the Ultimate Weapon in the back, making him fall onto the floor. As soon as he got back up, Rouge and Tails flew into him, fists first. The Hedgehog stumbled backwards, holding onto his face. Omega then finished off the attack with a metal fist to the stomach and a barrage of bullets to the face. The creature fell to the floor.
"That was easy." Remarked Sonic.
"Unidentified life form not yet terminated." Omega warned.
"Eh, Hello?" Amy called everyone's attention over to the cell and the reason they had actually come. Sonic and Knuckles ran up to the cell door and began trying to break it down, but to no avail.
"Guys?" Sonic and Knuckles turned to see Rouge, a key card dangling in her hand. She went over to the cells lock and swiped the card across it. The door swung open.
"Oh." Sonic simply exclaimed.
"NO!" There was a sudden gust of wind which knocked Sonic and Knuckles into the cell. A fist knocked Rouge over. Sonic and Knuckles prepared to charge, but the Ultimate Weapon locked the cell door. "I'll give you those lucky shots, not that they'll count for anything." The hedgehog like creature claimed. Sonic smiled.
"Do those wings mean your a fairy"
"Shut up!" The Ultimate Weapon took out a chaos emerald, the one Shadow had been using previously. He pointed it at Sonic. "Chaos wind!" Blue spears appeared and knocked Sonic onto the floor. "Round two." The Ultimate Weapon turned and held the emerald as if it was a weapon. The Ultimate Weapon looked at each of his oppositions in turn. He smiled confidently and his emerald began to glow. "Let me show you why I am the Ultimate." The Ultimate Weapon thrust the hand holding the emerald forward. "Chaos..." The Ultimate Weapon was cut off when Prisal's voice boomed throughout the base.
"Weapon, I have changed my mind, I want the intruders alive!" The Ultimate Weapon growled angrily. The emerald stopped glowing.
"Fool." The Ultimate Weapon muttered under his breath. He began throwing his emerald and catching it. "I suppose this at least makes my job easier." Without a seconds warning the Ultimate Weapon charged at the remaining of the group. "Chaos control!" He yelled, and just like that, everyone was in the cell.
Metal Sonic and Metal Amy descended in an elevator surrounded by sea. Many different types of fish swam past, but neither of the robots seemed to care. Metal Amy looked downwards. They were nearly at there destination. In a matter of minutes the elevator stopped and opened up into a large room. Allot of the room was obscured from view by a giant, spherical, grey craft. The face of Eggman staring down at the two robots. The Final Death Egg. It didn't look that different from the original Death Egg, but there was allot more weaponry peaking out of the mighty machine.
"Eggman's life is explained right there. He's a Maker of great weapons, but there to great for him." Metal Sonic claimed. He walked up to the Final Death Egg and stroked the side gently. "Astounding"
"So what are we going to do with it? Were an emerald short and can't use the Final Death Egg yet." Metal Amy asked. Metal Sonic turned to his accomplish.
"I know, but we can't let Eggman keep this thing, can we"
"No"
"So we're going to move it." Metal Amy laughed at Metal Sonic's claim.
"And how do you suspect to do that?" Metal Amy asked. Metal Sonic tapped the side of his nose. he turned again to face the Final Death Egg.
"I believe the best place to put this now would be the jungle in mystic ruin, the old resting place of the Egg carrier." Metal Sonic thought back to the jungle base Eggman had. The place he had decided to betray Eggman. "Give me the chaos emeralds." Metal Sonic reached out his arm. Metal Amy opened her chest plate and handed the emeralds to Metal Sonic. Metal Sonic set the emeralds down and concentrated. The emeralds began levitating. they circled around Metal Sonic, getting faster and faster. flashes symbolised his changing. First super, then hyper and finally ultra. His near white form put a hand against the Final Death Egg and concentrated as much energy as he could. "Chaos... CONTROL!" Energy exploded out of Ultra Metal Sonic. He went flying backwards, all the energy he had absorbed being transferred into the chaos control. Green ball like things whizzed around the giant machine. a buzzing sound came out of the Final Death Egg. The entire machine turned white a faded out of sight.
"That got rid of it." Metal Amy announced. Metal nodded and laughed slightly.
"Now all we need is that final emerald." Metal Sonic claimed.
"Then we could..." Metal Amy paused. "... what are we trying to do?" Metal Amy realised she didn't actually know why she was doing what she was. She had been following Metal Sonic's lead for the simple reason that was all she knew, not that it was bad or anything.
"Well first, I shall finally get my revenge on Sonic, then we'll just have some fun." There was a touch of joking in Metal Sonic's voice.
"Is there really nothing else apart from getting vengeance on Sonic?" Metal Amy asked, sounding slightly concerned. Metal Sonic looked at Metal Amy.
"I was designed to only seek to kill Sonic, but now I believe there is something else." Metal Sonic looked, almost longingly, at Metal Amy. "There is defiantly something else."
