Sonic Battle AdventuresEpisode 4: Return of Knuckles' Chaotix!
"So, Omega and Rouge ambushed you on your way here?" Knuckles asked. Sonic nodded.
"Yeah, then Shadow came and saved Tails!" He said. Knuckles clenched his fists.
"That darn thieving bat!" He yelled, apparently not listening to Sonic's last sentence. They were now in Knuckles' house up in Holy Summit; the site where the floating island arose in the Mystic Ruins area. Holy Summit was a small town now, with a small shop and few civilians. Amy was out shopping at the Summit Square. For some reason, Knuckles brought the Master Emerald down here for some reason.
"So what about you?" Sonic asked. "Why'd you come down here?" Knuckles looked at Sonic.
"You want my explanation or the government's explanation?" He asked. Sonic shrugged. "The gov's explanation is that I willingly volunteered to let them use the floating island as a military base, and I would gladly move here!"
"And yours?"
"My explanation is that the government came to me and said I had one week to get off the island and bring all my possessions off as well! And those arrogant jerks even sent that evil bat to bring the message, too!" He slammed his fists on the table, making Sonic nervous a little. Even though Knuckles could control himself, he didn't like being vulnerable to attack, especially against Knucklehead.
"So how is the floating island still floating without the Master Emerald?" Sonic asked. Knuckles sighed.
"They somehow made some kind of copy of it, and placed it on the altar. I don't know how they did it, probably because that bat-girl managed to chip off a piece and place it back on!" Knuckles felt like slamming on the table again, but he didn't want to break his only table he had left. He took a deep breath, and stood up. "Maybe we should check on the others!"
"Good idea!" Sonic said, looking at his bandaged leg. Thanks to Knuckles, their wounds were cleaned out, and bandaged, and Knuckles said his leg would heal in a couple of days, and he'd be able to run safely in about half a day. Sonic and Knuckles walked into another room, where they saw Emerald looking at Tails up and down, and seemed to be scanning him.
"Tails' breathing has returned to normal!" He announced. "Like your red friend said; he'll be waking up any minute now! His injuries are starting to heal, but I'm sensing his cracked ribs are healing, too!"
"Who exactly is this guy?" Knuckles whispered to Sonic. Emerald easily overheard this.
"I am known as Emerald," He said. "I believe we forgot to introduce ourselves to each other!" He put his hand out, and Knuckles took it.
"My name is Knuckles, the guardian of the Master Emerald!" He replied. Sonic just stared at Emerald.
"Where exactly did you learn such manners?" He asked. Emerald just shrugged.
"I study the human interactions on Tails' television set!" He said. "Plus Tails was teaching me a bit, saying he didn't want me to turn out like Emerl, or something like that!"
"Emerl?" Knuckles asked. "That's a weird thing to bring up…"
"What do you mean?" Sonic asked. Knuckled looked at the two of them.
"I think we better sit down again!"
"Shadow the Hedgehog, you are currently under arrest for destruction of property, reckless endangerment of human life, robbery, and attempts to escape from the police!" The man from the Hot Shot Walker yelled. Shadow just smirked. Apparently they haven't forgotten about the time he stole a Chaos Emerald from the bank, or helped blow up Prison Island. Or blasted off half the moon, for that matter. The Big Shot Walker and the GUN Laser Hunters closed in on him, but they didn't realize what the black and red hedgehog was up to. Shadow was a little distracted, however. Omega and Rouge turned on them. They must have told him where he was last seen. He just lifted his Chaos Emerald into the air.
"CHAOS CONTROL!" He yelled. In a flash of white light, he disappeared.
"Where did he go?" The Hot Shot pilot asked. Shadow then appeared behind him, out of his line of sight!
"You expect me to run away like a coward?" He asked. "Pathetic humans!" He gathered the energy for a chaos spear, and fired it on the back of the Hot Shot. The blast completely tore off the metal shell on the back, leaving a very soft spot for Shadow to attack. He curled up into a ball, and spun towards the damage. The shot right through the Hot Shot, knocking it down and unable to attack. He was in the middle of all the Laser Hunters, but they weren't a match for him. They all fired at him, but Shadow's great agility and speed on his air shoes practically made the blasts miss. When all of the Laser Hunters stopped firing to see their target, Shadow stood there, unharmed.
"WEAK!" He yelled, completely obliterating one with one kick. His Chaos Emerald in hand, he used it to stab another Laser Hunter. Shadow then summoned a shock wave using the energy of his chaos spear and the Chaos Emerald to destroy the rest. Shadow just stood there, watching all of the fried pieces of metal fall. The Hot Shot pilot went for his radio, but he suddenly found Shadow standing over him!
"Call for backup if you wish, but give agents Rouge and Omega one message!"
"Wh-wh-what?" He asked. Shadow smirked as if talking to them.
"I'm coming for you!"
Amy finally finished shopping, but felt ripped off by the prices. $9.99 for a little bottle of milk? That was way too expensive! That clerk was just taking advantage of him being the only store around for miles! Amy had to put her grocery bag down for a second, as her entire body ached after her bout with Rouge. Suddenly, a large shadow loomed over her! It pulled its arms out, and grabbed- the bag of groceries.
"Excuse me miss, allow me to get these for you!" The big crocodile said. He had white gloves, black wristbands with a thin yellow line, and matching sneakers. He also had a gold dollar shaped chain around his neck and a Walkman headphones connected to a Walkman on his waist. A little bee was flying around his head. He had yellow sneakers, a sleeveless orange shirt, white gloves, and a hat that fighter pilots wore.
"What are you trying to get this time Vector?" He asked. "A date, or a maybe a big tip! After all, she looks rich compared to all of these other poor-looking people!" This gave many cruel looks from everyone around, and Vector just grabbed the bee.
"You know, he's ADD!" He said, scratching the back of his head. Everyone went back to his or her business. "Charmy, you dolt brain! Can't you learn any manners through that empty head of yours?" Charmy shook his head.
"Nope!" Amy put her hand on her chin, wondering why she felt she saw them before.
"You know, you look very familiar!" Amy said. Vector took one long glance at her, and gasped.
"You're that brat we met in Frog Forest (In Sonic Heroes)!" He yelled. Amy looked ticked.
"BRAT!" She yelled back. "I wouldn't call you the most mature, either!" The two of them glared at each other angrily, until Charmy flew out of Vector's grasp.
"Fight!" He encouraged. "Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" Amy pulled out her hammer, and Vector realized she meant business.
"You wanted to grab Cream's friend Cheese too!" She yelled. "I'll never forgive you!"
"Cream? Cheese? Who comes up with these names?" Vector asked. Charmy shrugged. "But it's policy for the Chaotix detective agency to never fight a girl, unless she's a sadistic wench who needs a good beating every once in a while!"
"Like that one bat-girl?" Charmy asked. Vector nodded. Amy put down her hammer.
"At least that's one thing we have in common," She said. "I just need to take a little snooze! You still want to carry the bags?" Vector shrugged.
"For a price!" Amy nodded.
"Whatever!"
"It all started when I had this foggy dream…" Knuckles began.
"Where am I?" Knuckles asked as he was alone at the edge of the stairs to the altar. Knuckles tried to run up the stairs, but the stairs started to collapse! Knuckles jumped off and started to glide, but then he started to fall into the abyss! The next thing Knuckles knew, he was in a jade-green room, with no end in sight, Knuckles felt trapped. He looked around, finding two figures before him.
"You must the seven Emeralds to the world from ultimate des…" One shade creature said. "The servers are the seven Chaos. Chaos is power enriched by the heart. The controller is the one who unifies the Chaos…" The last line Knuckles knew well, for he was the guardian of the controller, or the Master Emerald. Suddenly, the entire room started to crack up, and the two figures disappeared! When the entire room shattered, a large and dark figure loomed over him. Knuckles tried to run away, but he was immobilized for some strange reason.
"Why she chose you I do not know," The creature said in a dark, booming, raspy low voice. "But you shall be sent to the afterlife just the same!" The creature shrouded in shadows reached for Knuckles, and grabbed him! Knuckles tried again and again to break free of the creature's grasps, and soon was crushed by the darkness.
"-And that's what happened!" He said. Sonic and Emerald just looked at him. Knuckles looked ahead, and announced, "We're here!" The three reached the shrine of the Master Emerald, a gem of unlimited power. Emerald seemed to be attracted to the power, and started to slowly walk towards it. Meanwhile, Sonic was trying to get some things straight with Knuckles about the dream thing, thinking it was more than a dream, but rather a vision. When Emerald almost reached the top steps, a shuriken flew out of nowhere and landed right next to his foot!
"What the—" Emerald yelled, as he sensed a presence behind him. He turned around, but saw nothing! Emerald smirked, for he could still sense the hear the muscles contracting and expanding, and could also feel the vibrations of his footsteps. Emerald pretended to wander around aimlessly, and when he felt the creature near, and delivered a punch right to its face!
"OOF!" He cried as he was sent flying up the stairs. The creature turned visible, and Emerald could see the purple chameleon with its yellow horn and purple and black boots, along with his black, yellow and white wristbands (I'm pretty sure you know he's wearing white gloves by now, right?). He landed doing midair back flip.
"I see you're much more skilled than meets the eye!" He said. "I'd love to have a nice duel, but I have a job to protect the Master Emerald, along with the guy behind you!" Emerald turned around, to see a figure send his fist right at him! Emerald ducked, and the fist smashed into the stairs, crumbling the rock! Emerald was glad he was able to dodge the blow, for that would probably have smashed his face in. He saw the armadillo with black fur and yellow fur on the belly and arms, his red and white sneakers, and his large red shell.
"See you're pretty quick!" He praised. "But I'm gonna hit ya sooner or later!" the armadillo tried another punch, only to be smashed in the face by a large green hammer. The armadillo was sent sprawling down the stairs, and landed on the base, getting the attention of Sonic and Knuckles.
"Looks like it's up to me!" The chameleon said. "I, Espio the Chameleon, will defeat you where the warrior Mighty the Armadillo has failed!"
"I'm not beat yet!" Mighty called from below.
"I know, but it was the only way I could introduce you at this point!" He cried. Getting back to business, Espio flew several shuriken at Emerald, only to be batted away with the hammer. Espio jumped into the air, turning invisible, but that trick wouldn't work this time, either. The hammer quickly transformed into Rouge's whip, and wrapped around Espio. He swung him around and around, and slammed him on the rock stairs! Espio rolled down the stairs, lying right next to Mighty, who was ready to strike. Espio stood up, and was ready to charge, but Knuckles pulled him back.
"Stop it!" He ordered. Sonic tapped Knuckles on the shoulder.
"Come on, this fight was getting pretty interesting!" he complained. Knuckles sighed. "Well, at least take the fight somewhere else, like at the bottom here!" Emerald nodded, and flew down. He landed next to Sonic.
"Think you're up for this two-on-one?" Sonic asked his buddy. Emerald looked at Espio and Mighty, and nodded.
"I can take these guys easy!" He said. Mighty, furious by his comment, looked at his partner.
"Ready to go, Espio?" He asked. His ninja partner nodded.
"Behold our fierce power!" HE yelled as the two of them charged at Emerald. Sonic stepped back, letting his friend do his work. He pulled out the whip, and wrapped Espio, swinging him into Mighty! Mighty simply grabbed Espio, and then grabbed the whip! Emerald was sent flying forward, and Mighty was ready to deliver a fierce punch to the green fighter!
"I don't think so!" He yelled as he spun around and around, giving him momentum. He delivered a hard kick to the face to Mighty, but Espio managed to get out of the whip and deliver his own kick to Emerald's gut, where he was previously injured.
"AAH!" He screamed out of anger and pain. He clenched his fists, and transformed the whip into Amy's hammer. He grabbed the hammer, and swung it at Espio! Espio dodged, and nodded to Mighty. Mighty was already standing and charging at Emerald. Emerald transformed the hammer into Sonic's power ring, and used it for some extra distance of his own punch. Since Emerald had longer reach, Mighty was hit in the face again, this time not ready to stand up again.
"Now it's your turn!" He yelled at Espio. "He charged up his energy with the power ring, and delivered his own spin dash at Espio! Espio was hurled into the air, and skidded on his back when he landed. Espio tried standing up, but he didn't want to face Emerald any longer.
"I concede defeat!" He cried, sitting up.
"Yeah, me too!" Mighty said. "Your punches pack a wallop!" Knuckles looked interested.
"Really?" He asked. Mighty nodded. "Then how about facing me?" Emerald looked at the serous expression on his face, and felt Sonic patting him on the back.
"You can take this Knucklehead!" He cried. "He may be stronger, but you're quicker and much more calculative than this gullible Echidna here!" Emerald looked at Sonic, then Knuckles. He slowly nodded.
"I accept your challenge!"
"You have a message for me and Omega?" Rouge asked.
"Yes!" The officer replied. "This was given to you by a Hot Shot pilot, who had a message from Shadow the Hedgehog!"
"Shadow?"
"Yes. His exact words were 'I'm coming for you!'" Rouge gasped. She didn't know why he would be. She surely didn't tell anyone, and neither did Omega, who was receiving an inspection, trying to find any problems in his aggression system. If Rouge didn't, and Omega didn't have the opportunity, then how did they find Shadow?
