Sonic Battle AdventuresEpisode 7; Upgrade to the E-1000!
Shadow sat in the ARK, thinking of several random thoughts. He turned on all thirty of his televisions, all on different news networks to see any reports of Chaos Emeralds. He chuckled to himself, thinking of one happy thought.
"I guess Sonic's not much a rival anymore!" He said to himself, with great satisfaction. He had trained hard, and with his new ability that taught him to harness a Chaos Emerald's energy to boost his speed and strength, he was practically unbeatable. He remembered the first time they met, back in Station Square…
"It all starts with this," Shadow said, standing on the remains of the GUN Machine called Big Foot, which was just taken down by Sonic. Shadow ran through the city, escaping Military grasp. He went down to see the hedgehog that the police were blaming. He looked similar to him, but he really was too focused on the Green Emerald to care. "A jewel containing the ultimate power!" Sonic caught a glimpse of the Green Emerald, and gasped.
"That's the Chaos Emerald!" He forged his eyes into a deep scowl. "Now I see what's going on!" He said, pointing to the black and red hedgehog. "The military has mistaken me for the likes of you!" Shadow remained silent.
"So, where do you think you're taking that Emerald?" When Shadow didn't respond, Sonic got furious, and started to run towards him. "Say something, you fake hedgehog!" Shadow smirked, and held up the Emerald.
"CHAOS CONTROL!" He yelled, harnessing the Emerald's power. Shadow instantly warped behind Sonic, but as another speed demon, the blue hedgehog could see his lightning fast movements. Shadow went on top of a nearby building, taking pleasure in the shock of Sonic.
"Wow, he's fast!" Sonic gasped. He then shook his head. "Wait, that's not his speed, he must be using the Chaos Emerald to warp!"
"My name is Shadow," The black and red hedgehog announced. "The world's most ultimate life form."
There's no time to play games; FAREWELL!" Shadow finished warping away.
Shadow took pleasure in their first meeting, knowing who would have won if they did fight, but he was proven wrong over in the jungles of Prison Island.
"Hey, that's-" Shadow looked over at the blue hedgehog with annoyance. He was on a tight schedule.
"That blue hedgehog again, of all places!" He yelled. Sonic pointed at him.
"I found you, faker!"
"Faker?" Shadow asked. "I think you're the fake hedgehog around here! You're comparing yourself to ME? Hah! You're not even good enough to be my fake!" Sonic growled, and dashed towards Shadow. Shadow didn't possess a Chaos Emerald, so he couldn't use his Chaos Control to get away!
"I'll make you eat those words!" He yelled, nearing Shadow. Shadow assumed a fighting position, and the two did battle against each other.
The two fought pretty evenly, even though Shadow wanted to preserve his energy to hurry up and rescue Rouge from the Prison. She possessed three Chaos Emeralds; three vital parts of his plan. He then thought of the very first time they fought all out on the very same space colony Shadow was on now. Shadow was surprised to see Sonic, for Eggman trapped him in a capsule that exploded in space. Sonic did possess a fake Emerald, which had the same powers as a real Chaos Emerald. He used the fake Yellow Emerald to use Chaos Control.
"You never cease to surprise me, blue hedgehog," Shadow said. "I thought that capsule you were in exploded in space." Sonic smirked.
"What can I say; I die hard!" Sonic bragged. Shadow hated that cocky attitude of his.
"I've never seen anyone able to use Chaos Control with a fake Emerald before, just what are you anyway?" The two started to pick up speed.
"What you see is what you get!" Sonic said. "I'm just a guy that loves adventure; I'm Sonic the Hedgehog!"
"I see," Shadow said as they went at full speed. "But you know I can't let you live. Your adventuring days are coming to an end!"
In that battle, Sonic managed to beat Shadow. Sonic threw the fake Emerald into the Eclipse Cannon, and all of Shadow's plans failed. Little did they know, however, that Shadow would later use all seven Chaos Emeralds along with Sonic to transform into Super Sonic and Super Shadow, and defeat the Final Hazard, the prototype for project Shadow. Shadow smirked, but then sensed a strange source of Chaos Emerald back on Earth! He picked up his Silver Emerald, and he warped to the Mystic Ruins.
"So, how do expect we get in?" Tails asked. They were facing the thick metal hide of the Egg Fleet, but Knuckles just smirked.
"Like this!" He yelled, driving his hard fists into the metal. It busted open, and Knuckles was able to smash it up some more so they could fit in the Fleet.
"Never mind," Tails replied. He looked around, wondering where to go. "Where exactly do you think Eggman's holding Amy?" Sonic shrugged.
"I don't know, but I suggest we split up our forces!" He said. "Two of us search for Amy, while the other two go get Eggman!"
"Leave Eggman to us!" Emerald said, patting Knuckles on the back. "Our fists would be good for smashing us robots, and I'm pretty sure Knuckles would want to get back at Eggman for trapping him so easily!"
"That's not funny…" He muttered, pushing the green creature's hand away. "But he's right. Take Tails and get Amy so we can get outta here! And you might need this, too!" Knuckles tossed the Red Emerald to Sonic, and he snatched it up.
"Right!" Sonic said, grabbing Tails' arm. The two blasted off with sonic speed, leaving the two fighters behind to do some major damage.
"So how do you think we should find Eggman?" Emerald asked.
"I say we start smashing things up so he'll come here himself!"
"AMY!" Sonic and Tails yelled, trying to find the captive hedgehog. "Where are you?" After hearing no reply, the two looked at each other, and tried to come up with some plan. Suddenly, several orange rotund robots came popping out of the doors behind them! The orange robots had thin arms and legs, and it was amazing that their legs could allow them to even walk, despite their slow and clumsiness.
"These are my Eggbots!" A hologram of Eggman said, appearing out of the walls. "They are fairly weak, but very quick to make, giving them great power in numbers!" The robots charged at Sonic and Tails, but the two of them just yawned. Tails whacked one with his twin tails, knocking it into other Eggbots, who in turn crashed into others.
"Leave them to me!" Tails said, pointing forward. "It seems that Eggman doesn't want us going any further!" Sonic nodded. Tails pulled out a walkie-talkie, and threw it to Sonic.
"I'll call you when everything's clear!" Tails said.
"Sure you'll be all right?"
"Are you kidding me?" Tails asked. "After all of the training I did, I could handle twice as much of these!" Sonic smirked, and ran off, smashing his way through the Eggbots. The Eggbots just looked at Tails, ready to exterminate the intruder that dared to remain. Tails made mincemeat out of them, and soon they all either retreated or were destroyed. The Eggbots' armor wasn't that strong. Suddenly, a larger robot fell from the roof! He looked like an E-100 series robot (Like E-102 Gamma or E-101 Beta MK I), except that this robot's color was green. He had a metal bar that pointed outward, but then pointed forward, making an L shape that reached farther than its hands. At the end of the bars, were buzz saws, and they looked like they were recently sharpened. He had two jet boosters on the side of his legs, and had a dual cannon on each hand.
"I am known as E-1000," He announced in a monotone voice. "Codenamed Alpha, by Master Robotnik." Alpha raised his guns up. "I have been programmed to destroy all intruders!" He opened fire, and Tails was barely able to dodge the bullets. Alpha didn't seem to have much accuracy, as he just fired randomly. When Tails tried to fly in for close-range combat, Alpha simply turned on his saws, and slashed at Tails. Tails couldn't seem to get close, and he had no way of attacking from a distance!
"How can I beat him?" Tails asked himself. He continued to fly around, dodging the cannon fire.
"Forty-seven, forty-eight, forty-nine, FIFTY!" Knuckles yelled, smashing the Eggbots to pieces. "I win!" Emerald, still on forty-three, just growled.
"No fair, they seemed to just line up for you!" He yelled. "I want a rematch!" Knuckles shrugged.
"How about we make it seventy-five?" Before Emerald could agree, the Eggbots started to retreat! Knuckles and Emerald were disappointed, for they were only starting to warm up.
"Oh man, I can't get a rematch!" Emerald complained. Knuckles' attitude was apparently rubbing off on him. But when all of the Eggbots retreated, the two saw why. They were giving a different robot room to fight. He dropped from the ceiling, and glared at the two small creatures. He was a tan robot, humanoid in shape, with two big shields instead of hands. The shields possessed a red orb in the center of each one. He wore a dark-brown cape around his shoulder, and had a large metal horn sticking from his head. On the shield, there were little blades about the size of a dagger. He apparently used those as an offense.
"I am known as E-1017," He announced in a low monotone voice. "Codenamed Sigma, by Master Robotnik." Sigma, meant to be a defensive fighter, raised his shields up over his face. "You may attack me when you please."
"My pleasure!" Knuckles said, cracking his fists. Emerald grabbed him on the shoulder, and shook his head.
"Let me take this guy on!" He said. "I have a pretty good plan!" Knuckles just stared at him, then at Sigma.
"Fine, but if it looks like you're going down, I'll be taking charge!" He said. Emerald nodded, and faced the tan robot.
"Lets do this!" He yelled, running at Sigma. Sigma stood his ground, ready to defend. Emerald raised his right fist, and slammed it down on the red jewel on the left shield! The orb simply radiated a pink light, and electrocuted Emerald!
"AAH!" he yelled, pulling his fist back, and then blowing on the smoking glove. "What happened?"
"If a being comes in contact with this orb, their life force and stamina will be sucked away, leaving them in a position for me to attack." Sigma explained. Knuckles thought that Sigma was holding something back, because it would be pretty stupid to announce your best technique right at the start of the battle. Sigma floated back on a pair of hidden jet boots, and Emerald seemed even more furious.
"Don't think I'm gonna just drop dead!" He yelled, concentrating. His left fist then grew outward, until a mimic of Sigma's shield was miniaturized to Emerald's size. "I'm just gonna play it safe and go a little on the defensive side myself!" Sigma took notice of Emerald's ability, and analyzed it for Dr. Eggman to see after it disposed of the two.
"Interesting…" He said. "It seems that this being can copy special traits of his opponents!" Emerald smirked.
"That's right, and now I'm gonna wipe you out!" he said, charging at the tan robot. The green warrior used his shield to knock away Sigma's right shield, leaving an open spot to attack! But as soon as Emerald was about to strike, a missile shot right at him, harming both Emerald and Sigma! Emerald was sent sprawling backwards, while Sigma used his jet boots to gain balance and hover back. Emerald struggled to stand, but when he did, he almost collapsed.
"Pathetic organic!" Sigma yelled. "You can't even take one of my weakest explosives!" Emerald smirked, and Sigma then heard a cracking sound. Sigma looked at his right shield, and the orb started to crack! The orb shattered completely, leaving a large indentation on Sigma's right shield!
"I'm just gonna take out your other one!" Emerald yelled, flying at Sigma. Sigma shoved both of his shields toward its side, and fired a grenade at Emerald! Emerald put up his shield, blocking the explosion, but a large flash of light blinded him! It was a light grenade! When Emerald and Knuckles could see again, Sigma was nowhere to be found.
"Coward!" Knuckles said. "He couldn't win, so he turned tails and ran!" Emerald smirked.
"I'd say that about makes up for about seventy-five Eggbots, don't it?" He asked. Knuckles smirked, and nodded.
"Let's go find the others!"
"Someone help me!" Amy cried within the confines of her laser cage. She didn't dare touch the lasers. Her hammer had been taken away, leaving her even more vulnerable. She sat down, looking at the familiar guard, and the unfamiliar one. The familiar one was one she knew well. He was red and black, with wheels on the back of his legs and a cannon replacing his right hand. His large black feet clanked on the ground when he was pacing back and forth, looking for any intruders. "Gamma, what happened to you?" Gamma turned his head towards her, and his red dots on his visor seemed to sharpen. The other one, looked exactly like a Phi; Dr. Eggman's version of Emerl. She was a light shade of pink, with a dark red bowtie on the back of her head. She also possessed a pink hammer, similar to Amy's. It had blades surrounding the edges of the blunt ends, however, and they could spin around to cut things.
"I am known as E-1002 Gamma," He corrected. "I have been restored by Dr. Eggman, as his elite crew!"
"And I am known as E-1015 Phi; the last and strongest of Dr. Robotnik's Phi ever created!" She spoke in a female monotone voice, seeming to sound like her appearance. Amy was trapped in a large dome-shaped room, with a large object spinning around them. This was the center of the engine, a place where it would be improbable that any living being could make it in or out of this room.
"Why did you capture me anyway?" She asked angrily.
"Because you were meant to be bait for Sonic the Hedgehog!" Gamma replied. "Dr. Eggman has set a trap, and if they don't escape in five minutes, they will be destroyed in the self-destruction in this Egg Fleet!" Amy gasped.
"He'd really go that far to destroy Sonic?" Amy gasped.
"Dr. Eggman fears Sonic," He explained. "He will do anything to get rid of him, even if it means he was to destroy his entire arm-"
"GAMMA!" Phi yelled, cutting the E-1000 off. "DO NOT REVEAL MASTER ROBOTNIK'S SECRET DATA!" Gamma seemed to sigh, and nodded. Amy was wondering why Gamma was being so different than before. First he was nice, then when they met again he was with Eggman. Now he seemed to be wanting to give her private information, a subtle form of support.
"Sensors indicate that a creature is nearing at an incredible rate," Gamma said. "Creature most likely to be Sonic the Hedgehog." Phi nodded, and prepared her hammer. Gamma loaded his cannon, and the two of them faced the door. Amy sucked in for breath, preparing for a distraction.
"AAAAAAAHHH!" She screamed at her highest and loudest screech. The sound echoed through the room, catching both robots off guard. They flinched at the howl, but only got a certain blue hedgehog's attention. Sonic kicked the door down, landed, and rammed right into Phi. She fell back, but flipped back to her feet. She ran at Sonic, and swung her hammer down, but Sonic dodged the blow, ran around Phi, and kicked her in the back! Gamma aimed at Sonic, and fired! Sonic ducked, and the attack struck Phi! Sonic smirked, prepared for a Sonic spin, and rammed Gamma in the body! Gamma fell back, injured. Sonic looked at his ten-second accomplishment, and smirked.
"SONIC!" Amy yelled, interrupting Sonic's basking in glory.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"We have to get out of here!" She warned. "This place is gonna blow!" Gamma lifted his arm up, preparing for one final shot, and fired at the computer consol, inches above Sonic's head. The laser cage deactivated, freeing Amy. Sonic looked over at Gamma, and smiled.
"You're not so bad!" He whispered to himself. "Maybe I should take it easier on him next time!" Amy looked around for a bit, and gasped.
"Where's my hammer?" She panicked. Sonic breakfell.
"How am I supposed to know?" He asked. "Wait right here!" Sonic ran off, leaving Amy behind. About three minutes later, Sonic returned with her prized Piko Piko Hammer.
"I love you so much, Sonic!" Amy yelled, grabbing her hammer, and then Sonic. Sonic managed to break free of her grasp.
"We have to get Knuckles, Tails, and Emerald before this place blows!" He yelled. He grabbed Amy's hand, and ran off!
"It is time to die, little fox!" Alpha yelled as he aimed straight at Tails, who fell to the ground. Tails put up a great fight in dodging, but was eventually hit, incapacitating his twin tails. Tails closed his eyes preparing for the worst, but remembered about a little weapon he created! He pulled back his glove a bit, revealing a red metal wristband. He pressed down on the band, and it suddenly transformed into a laser cannon, surrounding the fox's entire hand! Alpha was momentarily distracted, giving Tails a perfect shot. He fired, and the ball struck Alpha straight in the "face", blasting him on the ground! Alpha's red dots on his visor started to dim, but then faded away, void of life and light. Just then, Tails heard something approaching, and aimed his cannon towards the creatures. Tails saw two familiar shadows, and put his cannon away.
"Hey Tails!" Knuckles said. "Where's Sonic?"
"He went ahead while I dealt with this guy!" Tails said, jerking his thumb at the lifeless Alpha. Knuckles and Emerald just stared amazed.
"YOU beat that guy?" Knuckles asked in shock. Tails nodded.
"Yep!" Tails pulled out a walkie-talkie, and spoke into it. "Sonic, do you read me?"
"Loud and clear, buddy!" Sonic replied on the other side. "I've got Amy and ready to bust out of here!"
"But isn't this place gonna blow soon?" Amy yelled in fear. "Why are you being so calm?" Tails, Emerald, and Knuckles' jaws dropped.
"This place is going to blow up?" Knuckles asked.
"Yep," Was Sonic's reply. "You three just get outta here, I'll manage to get out a different way!"
"Why don't you just come to us?" Tails asked. There was silence, but Sonic cleared his throat.
"Well… I'm uh, sorta lost!" Tails sighed out of disappointment, and just put the walkie-talkie to his mouth.
"Roger," Tails put it away, and pointed to the wall. Knuckles and Emerald nodded, and smashed their way through the wall. The air sucked them out violently, but it was better than being blown to a million pieces. Out of the Egg Fleet, The three looked around, searching for any sign of their blue friend.
"Where is he?" Emerald asked. "He'll get killed!"
"He'll be fine!" Knuckles replied. "He's survived far worse than this!" Tails wondered what he was talking about, but remembered about his special ability.
"Let's hope so!"
"Look Froggy!" The rotund purple cat cried. "I found a shiny thing!" His polliwog pal hopped over to him, and the two of them started at the Purple Emerald. Big picked it up, and shrugged.
"Ribbi"! Froggy cried. Big nodded.
"You're right, let's get back to fishing!" Big cast his lure into the water, and suddenly, a figure moved toward them, giving Big bad vibes.
"Who're are you?" he asked. The black and red hedgehog, though about a sixth of his size, looked threatening to Big.
"I've come for your Chaos Emerald." He said coldly. "Give it to me, or you will pay the consequences!" Big gave Shadow a blank stare, registering that he understood not a word.
"What did you say?" He asked. Shadow sighed. He didn't like communicating with anyone, let alone idiots.
"That purple thing in your hand, give it to me or I make you hurt!" He said, a little frustration in his voice. Suddenly, a bullet zipped by Shadow's head, striking the water!
"That goes for you too, Shadow!" Omega yelled. Rouge snorted a laugh.
"We try to find Sonic, we come up with Shadow, and a Chaos Emerald!" She cried. "Today's my lucky day!" Shadow smirked.
"I wouldn't exactly say that meeting me is very lucky, or at least good luck!" Rouge and Omega stood their ground, knowing that Shadow was dangerous in battle, especially when he was given a reason to fight. Omega lifted his arms, and fired bullets straight at him!
"The last shot was a warning; I'll have much better accuracy!" He yelled, and the battle begun.
"WE'RE LOST?" Amy yelled. Sonic stepped back.
"Don't worry, I can get us out in a heartbeat!" Amy looked curious, and Sonic pulled out the Red Emerald. "You might want to hold on to me!" Amy smiled, and grabbed Sonic's hand. Sonic felt fairly uncomfortable, but he went through with it anyway.
"CHAOS CONTROL!" He yelled, gathering as much energy as he could. Sonic and Amy were sucked into a void of chaos energy, and disappeared from the Egg Fleet. Ten minutes later, the huge battleship in the sky exploded from the inside, and the metal fragments flew all over Prison Island. The abandoned island took even more damage from Eggman.
When Sonic and Amy finally stopped, The two of them fell to the ground, falling through several trees. The two of them hit the ground hard, rubbing their aches and pains. Soon the two of them had enough sense to realize their surroundings.
"Where are we?" Amy asked. She looked around at the jungle area, and could hear some faint fighting in the distance. What was going on?
"I hear a party going on!" Sonic said weakly, struggling to stand up. He tried to remain standing, but collapsed out of exhaustion.
"SONIC!" She yelled. "What happened?"
"I think I overdid it by carrying a passenger," He said. "Chaos Control takes a lot more out of me than I thought!" With Sonic weak, and Shadow and Omega nearby, can Amy even stand as a defense against them? Or will the combatants face a challenge on their own…
