Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog, Ristar, Vectorman, or anything that pertains to any of their worlds. Nor do I own any of the music mentioned and/or used in this fanfic. If I did, I'd be busy publishing my new recording of the Spanish One Winged Angel. However, in reality, I do not. Reality sucks. So don't sue me.
At long last, the Greedy battles have arrived! In this chapter, the first fight will be somewhat of an adaptation from the game. The second one is one I came up with myself. In the next chapter, I've got something somewhat surprising for you. Mainly because it's another huge storyline change. Anyways, I think I've blabbered enough! And now, the Greedy battles!
Scene Nine
Greedy Game
Sonic and Ristar began laughing their heads off. "Some kaiser! We beat within five minutes last time!" Greedy slammed his hands down to his side and got that unmistakably deranged look in his eye. Shadow started, as did Vectorman and Adahan. All eyes turned to Greedy. "They did?" Greedy remained silent for what felt like an eternity. "Yes…" Everyone remained silent before everyone in the room began laughing their heads off. Kneecaps even joined in. Greedy got his deranged look and something black began glowing in his hand. "You will all pay for this insult!" With that, he threw his hand into the air.

The black glow flew from his hand and, in a purple blur, disappeared. The glow split into five ball-shaped things. They turned into little orb things with two smaller orbs for legs. Sonic smirked and destroyed them all in a single spin-dash. Greedy reappeared near the shaft. He somehow shifted himself to the wall, then to the cell, and finally to his chair at about half of Sonic's speed.
He then threw his arms into the air and a ring of the black glows surrounded Greedy. One by one, they were thrown at the two friends and they dodged all of them. Greedy shifted around the room again and Ristar caught him in a head-butt. It knocked him backwards and he disappeared in a purple blur.
He appeared near the cage and he threw a glance at Vectorman before creating a new ring of black glows. Vectorman, in the meantime, was still trying to figure out the question that the world wanted to know. Which one? Which one? I swear, when Aura created me, she could have at least let me know which one was my pinky finger… The friends easily dodged the orb ring and Greedy was about to create another one when Sonic hit him with a spin-dash. Ristar caught him in mid-air and head-butted him.
Greedy disappeared and reappeared at his throne-like chair. He made two rings of orbs appear and he began throwing them at the group. Shadow and Knuckles were still devising a plan of escape. "So, how do we get the emerald now?" Shadow shrugged. "I dunno. But, I don't think that shorty had it." Inonsis, who just regained consciousness, somehow heard this. "I heard that." This caused everyone to stop what they were doing and look at the shaft.
Sonic took advantage of this and he spin-dashed Greedy. Again, Ristar caught him and he head-butted Greedy for good measure. When he landed, he got that look in his eye and hurled his cape off of his body.
(A.N. For those of you who have played Ristar, this is my favorite part of the battle. For those of you who haven't played it, this is where things speed up. So pay attention.)
Greedy vanished and reappeared in the center of the room. He threw his hands in front of him and a everyone heard a weird noise. Sonic and Ristar looked at each other, then broke in a mad dash for the cell. Sonic grabbed on and Ristar managed to grab Sonic's feet just as a small black hole portal thing opened up in front of Greedy. The two friends began lifting off of the ground. The captives were beginning to slide towards the hole too. Vectorman snapped his fingers and, somehow, they all stopped sliding. Adahan, in case you're wondering had burrowed underground and decided to check up on Inonsis.
He'd forgotten that Awaueck and Itamor had been thrown down there earlier, so he was having problems of his own. "Ow! Hey! Stop throwing your stupid ice bombs at me!" Itamor paused, looked at his ice bombs, shrugged, and continued pelting Adahan with them.
Back on the top floor, Ristar's arms began getting longer and longer. "This is a really bad strain on my arms!" Greedy glared at Ristar. "Be thankful that I haven't dragged your whole body in by now!" Ristar got an idea. "Hey, Vectorman! Mind helping us?" Vectorman looked, shrugged, and shot a ball of energy from his palm. This knocked Greedy backwards and the two friends fell to the floor. Greedy hit the wall and fell to the floor. He shook his head and looked at Vectorman. "Advanced Earth Technology."
Greedy growled and disappeared. He appeared almost next to Sonic and he shot a lightning bolt from his hand, the force knocking him backwards. Sonic somehow managed to dodge the attack, only to have Greedy appear next to him again. Ristar head-butted him and Sonic spin-dashed him while he was still in the air. Greedy disappeared and a cry was heard from the shaft. When Greedy reappeared, Adahan came flying out of the shaft and his armor began to blow up when he landed.
Adahan jumped out of the armor and it blew to pieces. He then crawled between the bars of the cell and fell down. "Adahan? What happened?" Adahan looked at Sally. "Well, let me put it this way. Ice bombs and really bad singing don't mix." Everyone heard an annoyed squawk from the shaft, no doubt Awaueck.
Sonic spin-dashed Greedy and he shot another lightning bolt from his hand. Ristar dodged this and Greedy shot another before either of then could react. Sonic narrowly missed it and Ristar caught Greedy in the final head-butt.
(Ristar (Sega Genesis, Gamecube, PS2) - Theme of Kaiser - Greedy Game fades out)
As Greedy was thrown backwards, he cried, "THIS CAN'T BE POSSIBLE!" He landed on the ground, bounced, stopped on his chest, and just lay there.
The two friends gave each other a high-five each other and Vectorman spoke up. "It's a new record! Your time was 3:42:03!" Ristar and Sonic gave each other another high-five and turned to Vectorman. "How's that lock coming?" Vectorman paused and looked at the two. "I could have broken this the moment I stepped into this room." Everyone just stared at Vectorman. "Then… Why didn't you?" Vectorman pointed to Greedy's limp figure. "Would you rather had your friends out here with a black hole?" Sonic and Ristar remained silent. "Point proven. Anyways, he's beaten now. So, let's go!" Vectorman glanced in Greedy's direction. "No he isn't."
Everyone turned around and saw Greedy climbing to his feet. "I admit. I've underestimated you. But, rest assured. This will not happen again." He did something that everyone but Sonic and Ristar didn't expect. He actually began lifting off of the ground! When he was hovering in the air, his cape began blowing behind him and he got a ticked-off look in his eyes. "Now it's time that I make you two regret EVER BEING BORN!"

Greedy vanished and reappeared over Sonic's head. He shot a lightning bolt and the force sent him to the ceiling. He vanished just as Sonic dodged. Greedy reappeared on the ground and shot two thunderbolts that made him slide to the wall. Again, greedy vanished and Sonic barely managed to dodge. Greedy popped up above Vectorman's head, who swiftly jumped out of the way. Greedy shot two thunderbolts at the ground and proceeded to move backwards. Ristar interrupted this attack and Greedy bounced in mid-air.
He reappeared, after vanishing, in the middle of the room. He then threw his arms to either side of him. "Let's turn things up a notch!" A black hole appeared in front of each of Greedy's hands. Ristar and Sonic narrowly managed to grab onto Ristar's feet. Ristar knew that with two black holes, he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. So, he let go. "ARE YOU INSANE!" A star handle appeared and Ristar managed to grab it as he flew towards Greedy. He began spinning, even faster than he did because of the momentum that he had. When he let go, he crashed into Greedy's gut, knocking him out of his attack.
(The Lion King (Sega Genesis, Game Gear) - To Die For pauses)
Sonic, who'd Ristar had carried on the abnormally fast trip, began stumbling around. He turned to Ristar and pointed a finger in his face. "IF YOU EVER DO THAT WITHOUT WARNING ME AGAIN, I'LL… Aw, geez. I've got to go!" He ran to the shaft and Vectorman leaned his head back. "Bombs away!" Everyone turned in disgust as Sonic hurled. Meanwhile, downstairs…
"So, how do we get back up there?"
"…"
"I can't come up with a plan all by myself, you know."
"…"
"Well, actually I could. But…"
"…"
Inonsis turned to Itamor and found that he, along with Awaueck, were busy sleeping. He looked up when he heard 'Bombs away!'. "What?" Let's just say that he turned to a small, blue, evil genius to a puke green, small, smelly, evil genius within seconds. Itamor and Awaueck woke with a start when this happened. They scooted away from him and Ristar began walking towards Sonic. "I'm fine." A sudden shout caught everyone's attention. "Well, I'm not! I'm covered in stomach contents!"
Sonic stood up and Ristar smirked. "Right on top of Inonsis too! Nice one!" Sonic gave Ristar a weak high-five and Greedy interrupted. "Are you done yet?" They turned and saw Greedy, arms folded, tapping his foot impatiently. "It's about time."
(The Lion King (Sega Genesis, Game Gear) - To Die For resumes)
Ristar jumped and grabbed another star handle. This seems pretty effective… He called to Sonic, who was averting his gaze. "Sonic! You get me a straight shot at him and I'll finish the rest!" Sonic nodded and Greedy summoned two more black holes. Sonic managed to spin-dash behind Greedy's chair before the black holes got to intense for him to resist their pull.
He hid until he felt the pull subside. Then, he darted out from behind his chair and spin-dashed Greedy in the back of the head. "NOW!" Ristar released and slammed into Greedy, sending him into the throne-like chair. Ristar began spinning again and Greedy shot a chain of one, then two, and finally two more thunderbolts. He summoned two more black holes and Sonic darted behind the chair again. This time, he heard an odd noise. "Uh oh." He managed to dart to and grab the cell bars, just seconds before the throne-like chair was ripped from the ground and began spinning around the room.
It narrowly missed Sonic and Shadow called out to him. "Hey, Sonic! Having fun yet?" Sonic smirked. "Tons and tons of it!" When Greedy's black holes disappeared, the chair went flying out of the window. "We're lucky. If the forcefield wasn't activated, we'd all be dead by now!" Sonic spin-dashed Greedy and he flew into the air. "Now, Ristar! Finish him!" Ristar released, sailed into Greedy's chest, and sent him flying out of the window.
(The Lion King (Sega Genesis, Game Gear) - To Die For fades out)
"YOU'LL ALL PAY FOR THIS! AAAAAHHHHH!"
Greedy Sonic and Ristar ran to the window in time to see Greedy hit the roof of a building outside of his actually base. "Oh! That looked like it hurt." They looked at each other. "Nah!" They gave each other another high-five and began walking to Vectorman. "Now he's beaten!" Vectorman then shouted and it startled everyone. "GOT IT!" Sonic stared at Vectorman. "You do?" Vectorman nodded and held up his hand. "Yup! This one is my pinky finger!" He began wiggling the finger that was farthest left. "Um, okay."
Vectorman wrapped his pinky around the lock. "Remember when I said that I could break this thing with my pinky?" Everyone nodded. In one swift motion, he ripped the lock from the cell door and sent it flying across the room. "I wasn't lying." While everyone stared at the newly-removed lock, Vectorman slid the curved piece of metal out of the cell.
When everyone was out, Sally ran up to Sonic and nearly crushed his ribcage with a hug. "Sonic! I'm so sorry for not listening to you before!" Sonic shrugged. "No biggie. Besides, this is what I was thinking about shortly before all of this happened." Shadow started and pulled of his shoe. "I just remembered something." Knuckles looked at him. "What?" Shadow pulled a small Chaos Emerald out of his shoe. "I had a spare." Knuckles' face turned red. "You mean that we could have gotten out of here earlier!" Shadow sweatdropped. "Yeah, I guess."
Sonic looked at Shadow, who slipped his shoe back on. "Let me see that." Shadow tossed it to him and Sonic whipped out a second one. "You had one too!" Sonic nodded.
"Yeah. Swiped it from Inonsis." Mina paused for a second. "That reminds me…" Meanwhile, Inonsis had somehow found a towel and wiped his face off. 'I swear! One more thing like this and I'm outta here!" he then heard someone enter the room. He turned around and his pupils grew small. "Uh oh."
Back up on top, Vectorman snapped his fingers. Seconds later, his ship came crashing through the same wall that Sonic and Ristar had made their entrance. "Guys, allow me to be the first to say this: Let's get out of here!"
In the next chapter, Sonic and the gang get an unwanted departing gift and a certain somebody is reunited with the last two people he ever thought he'd see again.
