Ultra Sonic 08
Ultra Transformation
"If you're fighting Metal Sonic, you're also fighting me." Silica said to the group.
The two robots stood defiantly although they were outnumbered two to one. They had strength, confidence, and something up their sleeves...
"If you say so." Shadow said. He suddenly charged straight at the two robots.
Metal Sonic and Silica stood ready to intercept his attack, but Shadow surprised them by running right between and past them. Turning to see where he was going, Metal Sonic was attacked by Rouge while Amy smashed Silica with her hammer. The two robots were knocked into different directions, and quickly recovered using their jets.
Flying up into the air, the two robots gave a nod to each other. Facing each other, they charged forward, both starting to glow a little.
The four heroes below watched as before the two robots collided, they blew apart. Their pieces, flying around in a flurry, soon combined to form a new robot. The robot that formed looked a lot like the new Metal Sonic before he became Metal Overlord. It was about twice the size of Metal Sonic, mostly dark blue except with a couple sky blue undertones contributed to by Silica. The jet engine in the position of its belly was larger, and it's arms and legs were now armored with its hands looking more like claws. To top it off it's eyes were farther apart and looked even more menacing with their red glow, and the quills were extremely long, straight, and spiky, looking just as dangerous as the rest of the new robot.
"What is that?" Tails asked what the rest of the group were asking themselves.
"Call me, Silver Sonic. I was made to defeat all of you."
"Oh yeah? Let's see if you can really take us." Rouge said, flying up into the air to attack the robot. Tails followed close behind her. Silver Sonic responded by charging straight down at them, moving at a speed faster than Silica and Metal Sonic combined.
Rouge suddenly flew through the air, flying into the hull of the ship. Next to her Tails hit the hull too. The robot kept flying down and soon Shadow and Amy both flew into trees.
"Argh! How're supposed to beat this thing!" Rouge yelled in anger as she pulled herself out of the imprint she had made.
"A Chaos Emerald would help..." Shadow muttered to himself as he slowly got up and walked back into the clearing with Amy following.
"The four of you shall not live past this moment." The robot said, watching as the four fighters surrounded him.
Shadow made the first move once again, moving straight for the robot once more. Before he could reach Silver Sonic, the robot blew past him and headed straight for Amy, slamming into her and sending her rolling across the ground to the stop a good distance away.
Silver Sonic turned around to see Tails speeding right for him, moving into a twirl and spinning as fast as he could to add power to his two tails. Silver Sonic leaped up above the attack, and as Tails passed by under him, he grabbed the fox by the head, and threw him towards Shadow, who was stopped from attacking Silver Sonic once more in order to catch Tails. Rouge took her own chance and flew down to strike from above, but Silver Sonic spun under her and tackled her from underneath before grabbing her and flinging her to the ground.
That was when an voice was heard emitting from the Silver Sonic, "Metal Sonic, Silica, return to the Egg Port. We're lifting off."
Looking around at the heroes sprawled across the ground, Silver Sonic settled his eyes on Shadow. "You all have gotten lucky this time. Next time, this will be finished."
The robot slowly turned towards the ship and walked over to it. The tired heroes could only watch as the robot went, unable to stop it. Soon the hatch closed and the ship started to lift off.
"Sonic..." Tails could only trail off. He was too weak to try and fly.
The ship soon gained speed and was soon above the clouds.
"Don't worry, Knuckles is with him-"
Rouge was cut off as a mentioned red echidna fell from the sky in front of them.
Minutes Earlier...
The Egg Port rumbled as it started to gain speed. Sonic and Knuckles still stood opposite of each other, separated by the powerful robot, Coconuts.
"So Knuckles, how's life been treating you on Angel Island?"
"Could be better, except the Master Emerald got stolen again a few days ago."
"Eggman again, huh?"
"No, Eggman has it now, but it wasn't him."
"Who was it then?"
"It was Rouge, and Shadow."
"Shadow?" Sonic said surprised.
"I'm sorry to interrupt such a touching moment," Eggman said, returning to the control room, "but I had to go and call back my Fatbot who was gracefully holding your friends at bay."
"Eggman! What are you planning this time?" Sonic yelled.
"Well Sonic, I've discovered the Master Emerald contains more than just a beast called Chaos. Yes, you see, an ancient civilization of Hedgehogs once took the Emerald from the ancient Echidnas and found out about its true power!" Eggman said, then continuing on to start his maniacal laugh.
"Sonic," Knuckles whispered, "You can wall jump after Eggman, but he'll probably call Coconuts to help him. I'll keep the robot busy for a second, and that should give you enough time."
"Got it Knuckles, here goes nothing."
Sonic readied himself, and then with all he had left, he started wall jumping up in a spiral up towards the control room that held Eggman.
"What is this? You really think you can stop me like that Sonic?" Eggman said. "Coconuts!"
"Not so fast!" Knuckles yelled, charging after Coconuts. He threw a right hook towards Coconuts' head, which the robot gracefully dodged and then judo flipped Knuckles over his head.
Meanwhile, Sonic had made it up to the top of the pit, and jumped through the open floor inside.
"Ok Eggman, it's just you and me now. Once again, I'm about to foil your plans."
"Oh Sonic, I'm not too sure about that. You see I was counting on you trying to stop me." With a snap of his fingers, metallic claws suddenly appeared and grabbed Sonic's limbs, quickly lifting him up into the air and keeping him immobile.
"Sonic, I'm coming!" Knuckles yelled, jumping up and beginning to climb up after him. Coconuts, who jumped up onto the wall, soon stopped him. His feet stuck to the wall, and then with one hand he then grabbed Knuckles by the neck.
"Oh, did I fail to mention that Coconuts had magnetic soles in his feet this whole time? Sorry, my mistake." Eggman gloated. "Now, to dispose of you Knuckles." Eggman flipped a switch on the nearby console, and soon the floors of the pit opened to reveal the sky below. "Goodbye Knuckles." Eggman said as Coconuts let go, dropping Knuckles through the large hole.
"Sonic!" Knuckles yelled as he soon fell out of sight through the clouds and towards the ground.
"Knuckles!" Sonic yelled, struggling against the metallic arms, but to no avail. He couldn't move. He had been effectively captured by Eggman.
"Now, now, Sonic, you should lower your voice. Yelling now will do you no good."
"What is it that you could possibly want with me, Eggman?"
"Well, like I said before, the Master Emerald was one time taken from the ancient Echidnas that unlocked the power of Chaos. The Emerald was taken by none other than an ancient civilization of Hedgehogs. Their experiments and discoveries lead to the ability that you and some of your friends have in gaining a super form."
"I don't see where you're going with this Eggman..." Sonic muttered.
"Well, Sonic, haven't you ever wondered why you could achieve a super form? Why Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow have each achieved such a form once, but you have done it time and time again to foil me in the very end?"
"No. Why would I?"
"No, Sonic, the question is, why wouldn't you? You have the ability to gain so much power. You even learned how to achieve a level above Super Sonic, Hyper Sonic."
"Yes, but that was with help from the Master Emerald creating the Super Emeralds."
"Oh yes, I know that Sonic. And now, who knows where they can be? But, you see, this ancient civilization of Hedgehogs also discovered these forms of power. And, through careful study and trial and error, they were able to discover a power form that even transgressed a Hyper form."
"Amazing Eggman, simply amazing. Now, are you going to let me down, or what? My arms are getting tired."
"Oh yes, forgive me." Eggman walked over to his console and pressed a few buttons. Soon, an examination table came up and the metallic arms holding Sonic placed him in it. Before he could move, however, clamps came up over his wrists and ankles, effectively binding him to the table.
"Eggman!"
"Ha! Did you really think I would let you go that easy? Now, where was I? Oh yes; now I remember. The ancient civilization of Hedgehogs discovered a power level above that of a Hyper form. They called it, Ultra. You see, the Chaos Emeralds are powered by the Master Emerald, and Chaos is a beast that was preserved inside of the Master Emerald. In a way, Chaos powers the Master Emerald. But, Chaos is a powerful thing, not only an entity, but also a powerful energy force that has destroyed many a million of people after many a century. Someone, somehow, figured a way to trap the essence of chaos, which created the beast chaos, into a single, powerful, emerald. This was known as the Ultima Emerald. However, it proved to hold too much power in one thing, and so the 7 Chaos Emeralds were made to siphon off the power of the Ultima Emerald. Thus, the Master Emerald was created, housing the main body and power of the force of Chaos, and the 7 Chaos Emeralds contained his additional power, which, on their own, were enough power by themselves to cause Chaos."
"Thank you for the history lesson, Eggman, but what does this have to do with me?"
"You'll know Sonic, soon enough. But first, I want to recreate that ultimate power. The power of the Ultima Emerald!"
Eggman ran over to a console, started typing, and soon Sonic could here mechanisms all over start up. The first thing he noticed was the Master Emerald in the center of room lift up. Next, out of the walls, the 7 Chaos Emeralds appeared in glass cases. A couple more keystrokes later, some sort of energy process started up, sending a current of what looked like lightning into each emerald. Soon, the 7 started to glow.
"As you can see Sonic, I've started a small current of electricity through each emerald. But, instead of continuing the current, I've left the emeralds to power themselves. That current they're making is their own energy, flowing through each other. Soon, all of their energy will be one instead of seven."
The emeralds started continued to glow their separate colors, getting brighter and brighter until finally they were all shining pure white light.
"And now, to send all of this energy into the Master Emerald!"
Sonic finally noticed that above each case containing an emerald was a wire that connected the case to the Master Emerald in the center of the room. Soon, the blazing energy from the emeralds was transferred over the Master Emerald, the light from each case slowly dimming, but staying white, as the energy was transferred.
"It's almost all there..." Eggman whispered.
Soon, the transfer was complete, and to Sonic's amazement, nothing was left of the Chaos Emeralds. It was as if their very essence and being were turned into pure energy and moved.
As for the Master Emerald, it soon glowed as white and as bright as the 7 Chaos Emeralds had just been glowing. Through all of this light, Sonic could see that the Emerald was slowly growing. Soon, it became roughly twice its size. And then, slowly, the light started to die down, until it no longer reach across the whole room. What was left was a very large emerald, pure white, and emitting a powerful aura. It was...
"The Ultima Emerald..." Eggman and Sonic both said at once in amazement.
"Eggman, what do you plan to do with all of that?"
"Well, you see Sonic, I realized that all this power was trapped into an emerald because it was so powerful. You see, this power was so powerful that anything that contained it was soon destroyed from strain of holding all of the energy in."
As if to emphasize his words, the glass holding the Ultima Emerald started to crack in a few places.
"So now, there was one thing that was discovered that could possibly hold all of this energy without totally being destroyed. And that was a host body."
"So, let me guess, that's what I'm for." Sonic said. Eggman nodded in response. "Ok then, but how do you know that I won't use that power against you. I am still Sonic the Hedgehog."
"Oh Sonic, I have a hunch that it won't turn out how you may expect it to. Now, it's time to transfer the Ultima Emerald's power!"
Eggman pressed a few more buttons and flipped a few more switches. Sonic's table moved over towards the Ultima Emerald until it was just beside him. Eggman quickly ran over and placed a few transmitters onto various points on Sonic's body. Soon, the transfer started, and Sonic could feel the energy flow through him.
It was like a power surge. Soon, without him even thinking about it, his fur turned golden and his eyes red. He had become Super Sonic in a matter of seconds! But, the power flow didn't stop. Sonic could feel it pushing him, higher, higher, and higher. Pushing him up to the next plateau. He reached the edge, and tried to hold himself back, but was tipped over, and soon his fur changed color again. It started flashing the different colors of the chaos emeralds. Each shade of color would last for only a second before being replaced in an endless loop of a light show. Sonic recalled when he first reached this plateau. This would now perhaps be the third time he reached this level. As Super Sonic, he felt that he could do just about anything. As Hyper Sonic, he could only try and think about anything he couldn't do. He could reach the speed light, had the strength to move things tens of thousands of tons. He was invincible.
With his power, Sonic had felt there was nothing left to achieve. But, currently, he could feel the power building up. He could feel himself becoming even more powerful and ever stronger. He then realized that he had enough power to escape his bonds and just fly away with the left over energy until it ran out and he was back with his friends. But then, he felt something. Something that was over bearing and determined. Something that dared him to see how far he could go. It dared him to see to what length this power could extend.
And Sonic was never the type to not take on a dare.
As he waited, it seemed like forever as the energy flowed through him. It seemed like he would never reach another plateau, just as he thought when he first reached Hyper form. The power flowed through him, making him stronger, but at the same time it seemed like a bottom less hole that it was trying to fill. Reaching a new level just didn't seem possible.
Until he finally felt that the hole was being filled. For once, he felt that the limitless power of Hyper Sonic actually could be filled, overcharged, transgressed. Soon, his fur stopped its multi-color transformations and started to flash white.
It was close, oh so close. Sonic could almost taste. The true power of Chaos. It was right here, just before him, waiting, just waiting. If he could achieve this power, he would become the ultimate being of the universe. Nothing could stop him. He could finally show Shadow that he wasn't the ultimate life form. He could prove to Knuckles that he would never be better than him. Not having to rely on Tails anymore, never having to worry about hiding from Amy, and best of all, Eggman and his robots would just be bugs compared to him.
So close, so close, he was almost there. He was willing it now, willing the energy to him. Drawing it out. He soon started to glow, the power taking over him. His pupils soon completely disappeared. All that was left was the white of his eyes; nothing at all was left in it. His fur glowed pure white. The purest, whitest light that could only be gained from the purest and most powerful form of energy. Chaos. His fur was just as white as his eyes now.
Soon, the transformation was complete. Effortlessly floating away from the bed, the bonds falling off like dust, he floated into an upright position. The only parts of him that weren't white were the few furless places he had. He emitted a white glow that lit the entire room.
"Welcome." Eggman said to the white furred hedgehog. "How do you feel, Sonic?"
What came out of Sonic's mouth was a voice that seemed full of pure rage and anger. A voice that could only be described as the voice, of chaos. It said, "I wish to, destroy."
