Time for the Climax! Let's get this party started!

Chapter 19

The seven blackened Emeralds floated into the air, at about upper chest height for Sonic and Shadow. They began to slowly orbit the two hedgehogs, slowly increasing in speed. Both Sonic and Shadow closed their eyes and their quills began to blow through the air as if there was wind. There wasn't.

"What's going on here?" Kazooie asked, staring at the two rivals. "What are they doing?"

Knuckles smirked. "You haven't seen anything yet."

Sonic and Shadow's quills rose upwards in the nonexistent wind. By now, the Emeralds were spinning so fast they were a blur. All of a sudden, Sonic and Shadow opened their eyes and their bodies changed. All of the blue in Sonic's quills glowed golden, and his irises changed from emerald green to red! Meanwhile, the black in Shadow's quills turned to a lighter shade of glowing gold! The two hedgehogs floated a few feet off the ground (unaided by Shadow's Air Shoes) and were both surrounded by an aura similar to Grunty's but it was gold as well. The two hedgehogs launched through the air at their foes.

"What the-" Gasped Banjo.

"How they do that?" Mumbo asked. "Me thought Emerald power was absorbed."

"It was." Tails explained. "The negative power was absorbed. You see, all Grunty thought about when she absorbed their energy were negative and selfish thoughts. On the contrary, Sonic and Shadow were able to unlock the true and pure power of the Emeralds with their selflessness and desire to protect their friends. Using the positive energy, they transformed into their 'Super Forms.' Super Sonic and Super Shadow. "

"….Amazing." Banjo muttered in awe.

XXXXXXXXX

"You ready Shadow?" The now-Super Sonic asked.

"Definitely." Super Shadow responded.

"Kill them!" Eggman shouted.

"…Fine." Grunty muttered. She fired a small spell orb at the two 'hogs. Without even glancing at it, Sonic caught it in his hand and chucked it at the Emerald Robot. It hit the cockpit, damaging it.

"Eh?" Grunty said, surprised. "How'd you do that?"

With small smiles, Sonic and Shadow took off towards the giant robot.

"Rggh! Eat this!" Eggman fired dozens of missiles at them.

Sonic and Shadow just flew forward and let the missiles hit them. The rockets exploded, and didn't affect our heroes the least.

"D-damn it!" Eggman shouted. His robot swung its fist at the heroes, but Shadow caught it with one hand. It seemed odd that such a small hedgehog could block such a large fist, but that was the power of the Chaos Emeralds.

With a grim look, Shadow twitched, and the entire arm disintegrated.

"No one makes a fool out of me!" Grunty shouted, firing a large blast at the heroes. Surprisingly, it actually hit them, knocking them back.

"She's annoying." Shadow said.

"Seriously." Sonic replied. "Let's finish Eggman's Robot and then take her down."

"Fine with me." Shadow smirked. The two emerald-powered heroes launched at the robotic titan. They easily broke through the electrical barrier now, but the robot raised its remaining arm, which turned into a cannon. Out of the cannon fired a huge laser. I connected with Sonic and Shadow, sending them spiraling in different directions. They shook it off, however, and shouted. "CHAOS CONTROL!"

They appeared right next to the head and cockpit of the titan. Eggman gulped. Almost instantly, the titan was destroyed and Eggman lay unconscious in the rubble. The parts that had been glowing gold turned into the dull grey of ordinary metal.

"That takes care of that." Sonic smirked. Suddenly, the two heroes were knocked back by Grunty.

"Take this!" She yelled, firing a barrage of spells at them. Sonic and Shadow put their arms in an X formation and glowing blue barriers appeared in front of them. However, he magic kept coming and eventually broke through. Sonic and Shadow were knocked back onto the roof of the lair, their eyes closed. "DIE!" She yelled, firing a blast at them. Sonic and Shadow opened their eyes and saw the spell coming at them and they had no time to dodge, or even shout 'chaos control.'

Out of nowhere, a figure appeared and punched the blast back at Grunty, knocking her away. Sonic and Shadow gasped. It was a bear, with glowing silver fur and read irises. "Banjo?"

"That's Super Banjo to you." The bear smiled.

"Don't forget me!" Said the breegull in his backpack. Her irises were red and all of Kazooie's feathers were glowing gold as if her entire body was using a perpetual wonderwing. "That's right! I'm Super Kazooie!"

"Nice." Said Sonic. "Whadda ya say we take down that hag?"

"Now you're speakin' my language." Kazooie said.

Sonic, Shadow, and Banjo (with Kazooie in his backpack) took to the skies.

"Grr. Why if it isn't the bear and bird?" Grunty said. "Fitting you'd fight me in the end. And perish!" Out of her hand came a large tornado, which took up almost the whole sky. "Try this on for size!"

"Don't mind if I do!" Kazooie shouted as she and Banjo flew at the witch.

"How about I clip your wings, birdie?" She retorted, shooting a fireball from her palm.

"Bring it!" Kazooie shouted as the spell hit the duo and did nothing.

"I'll kill you!" Grunty roared.

"Gee. That's not very nice of you." Said Sonic

Grunty wheeled around. While she was distracted with Banjo and Kazooie, Sonic and Shadow had gotten behind her.

The two hedgehogs brought their first back, and punched Grunty right in the face. She spiraled backwards into her own tornado.

"That was easy…" Said Banjo.

"I. WILL. NOT. LOSE!" Grunty roared. The tornado dissipated, and magic shot off in every direction.

The four super friends (hehe superfriends) were knocked away. Grunty lifted her hands into their air. A gigantic ball of fired formed, and she launched an apparently neverending beam of flame at the four heroes.

They got close together, trying to block it, but it gradually forced them down to the tower roof. The other animals could only watch in horror as their friends began to strain under the pillar of fire in the center of the roof.

"What we do?" Mumbo shouted.

"There's nothing we can do!" Knuckles yelled back.

"They- they need help!" Amy shouted.

Suddenly, the seven blackened and discarded Chaos Emeralds floated into the air and vanished.

"AHAHAHA! Look, even the Emeralds leave you!" Grunty shouted. "You can't hold out much longer!"

XXXXXXXXX

"What's wrong with the sky?" Goggles the mole asked as the remaining nonnrobots in the Jinjo Village cowered.

"Grunty has achieved the powers of the Chaos Emeralds." Said Master Jiggywiggy, walking forward.

"What does that mean?" A Jinjo asked.

Out of nowhere, a blackened Chaos Emerald appeared.

'W-what?" Mrs. Bottles said. "The Emerald is telling me something… I don't know how I know, but our loved ones, including Banjo and Kazooie, are fighting the witch…"

The other creatures nodded in comprehension. The Emerald was telling them the same thing too.

"Our only hope." Jiggywiggy said. "Are those protectors. We must lend them our support."

The animals looked skeptical, but then Goggles shouted. "GO DAD! Don't let that witch frighten you!"

With new heart, everyone shouted their support to the heavens.

XXXXXXXXX

Chili Bili and Chilly Willy looked at the Chaos Emerald floating before them and then…

"You can do it!" Willy shouted.

"Yeah! Even if you did steal our pizza!" Bili yelled.

XXXXXXXXX

"C'mon Banjo!" Tiptup yelled. "If you could take down Wizpig, this should be a piece of cake!"

"Win this!" Mr. Vile yelled.

XXXXXXXXX

"Go Sonic! Go Tails, Amy, and Knuckles!" Big shouted. "And everyone else too!"

"Ribbit!" Froggy 'said.'

XXXXXXXXX

"If you fail, we'll never get the Babylon Treasure!" Storm roared.

"Don't you dare lose!" Jet yelled. "I still gotta race you again."

"You can do it Tails!" Wave shouted. When Jet and Storm stared at her, she averted her gaze embarrassedly.

XXXXXXXXX

"Ooh. A Chaos Emerald." Rouge said. "Oh, wait, it's obviously a fake; look at that horrible coal-black color…. Huh? So Sonic and Shadow are fighting for the planet… Well, I feel silly but… Sonic! Shadow! You must win!" and then, under her breath "I mean, how can I get all the Jewels in the world if the planet is destroyed?"

XXXXXXXXX

"I-I can't do this…" Sonic said disheartedly.

Sonic, Shadow, Banjo, and Kazooie fell to their knees. Their bodies began to lose their glow.

"It won't be long now!" Grunty yelled. "ASHES TO ASHES!"

The final Chaos Emerald appeared by the actual spectators of the battle.

"Don't lose Sonic!" Tails yelled.

"You either, Shadow!" Knuckles said.

"I love you!" Amy shouted.

"Bear and Bird must win!" Mumbo yelled.

Magically, the Chaos Emerald by the spectators returned to color. It began glowing bright green. Its power was restored.

"Huh?" All the on lookers said.

Out of nowhere, the seven Chaos Emeralds appeared at their former glory, and with them, what seemed like a million voices. All of them were rooting the heroes on.

Don't lose!

Go Mumbo!

Do it Tails!

And many others.

"Huh? Is that-?" Banjo asked.

Defeat the Misstress!

Don't forget what I taught you!

You saved my subjects before, save them again now!

They were the voices of Klungo, Bottles, and King Jingaling, in that order. The voices of the whole island, including its robotocized citizens and Sonic's friends encouraged the heroes.

Shadow…

"Maria? B-but how?" Shadow gasped.

No one knew how any of this happened, but Sonic, Shadow, Banjo, and Kazooie stood back up, despite the fire. Their bodies glowed with new vigor.

"Eh? What's going on?" Grunty asked. She grimaced and a huge burst of fire traveled down the pillar of flame. "Take that!"

XXXXXXXXX

Eggman woke up in the pile of rubble. "Well, it looks like those animals might win… I hope so. I'm not content to sharing global conquest…"

XXXXXXXXX

All of a sudden, the fire blast reversed direction. It collided with Grunty, melting her skin and making her look even more grotesque. "IMPOSSIBLE!" She shouted as the four animals slowly rose towards her. "There's no way you could have reversed that flame! You were all but dead!"

They smiled.

"Wipe those insolent grins off your faces!" Grunty yelled, swinging her fist at them.

"Do you want to know why you've lost?" Shadow asked. The four super animals were behind her.

"It's because all you used was the negative power of the Emeralds." Said Kazooie.

"All you care about is yourself." Banjo continued.

"We support our friends and they support us." Sonic explained.

"That's where we get our strength!" They all yelled in unison.

They all raised their hands and Kazooie opened her beak. From Banjo, Sonic, and Shadow's palms came blasts of Chaos Energy, and one came from Kazooie's mouth. They twisted together, forming a huge beam.

Grunty held up her hands to block it, but she was pushed back very quickly.

"It seems our positions are reversed!" Shadow said.

"And no one's come to help you!" Banjo yelled.

"I'LL KILL YOU!" Grunty yelled in fury.

"Goodbye." They all said at once. The beam flew through Grunty, decimating her previously restored body.

Well, how'd you like the final battle? If you're going to review any chapter in this fiction, please make it this one. I tried really hard to make this battle interesting and I want to know if it met all of your expectations.

Also, if any of you saw the endings to Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door or Shaman King, you'll see that some of this was based very closely off of them. I'm not plagiarizing, I just loved those scenes, and I just used them for inspiration.

Oh, and to explain one more thing, the name is Super Shadow. Some people believe that it's Hyper Shadow (I was one of them, long ago.) You see, when you use the Chaos Emeralds, you go Super. For Example, Super Sonic, Super Blaze, etc. However, when you use the more powerful Super Emeralds (which made their only appearance in Sonic & Knuckles) then, and only then, you go Hyper. For Example, Hyper Tails, Hyper Knuckles. Okay, I hope I cleared that up.

One more thing, I'll post an epilogue/wrap up chapter in a few days, explaining how everything ends. It will most likely not be very long.

Review! Final chapter coming soon!
