Due to some formatting errors I lost my original version of Chapters 1 to 10. Luckily since I sent them to Dreadknux I could just download them from Gmail all but 10.

Hopefully last chapter was still OK for you SoS lot.

And hopefully I will have this done before Summer of Sonic ends, which doesn't give me long. However I am near the end. Three Character stories are almost at their end, the other three have finished and that just leaves the last one and the ending. Maybe two more chapters at best.

Oh and thanks for all the positive response. I really appreciate all your comments.

Chapter 11 – The Truth is Revealed

ACTION STAGE: LOST WORLD (SONIC)

Sonic ventured deeper and deeper into the temple. A truth was hidden here he could feel it. The outside of the temple did not reflect the true size of it. It just kept going and going. The traps inside were devious and required intelligence over strength. The Snake Room with the rising water, the mirrors reflecting light through a dark room, water slides, boulder chases, he even seemed to be able to see an entire hidden world. The final room had him running up walls along special tiles.

Eventually Sonic caught up with the red light at what seemed like a dead end. On the walls was a massive mural that seemed to depict the future. A huge beast made of water, primarily just a head with a massive shark like jaw, smashing through sky scrappers and other buildings.

"This is the fate of your world if you do not stop him", said a voice, "Now witness the truth"

Sonic was blinded by an extremely bright light. When it faded he was in front of a burning temple, similar to the shrine where Knuckles keeps the Master Emerald now. On the floor next to him was an orange echidna girl. She was badly hurt and more or less unconscious at that point.

Sonic heard a roar and about a million screams. This was the definition of a disaster but Sonic knew it was nothing more than a vision. He was sharing a memory.

Suddenly the girl woke up.

"I tried but I failed. Father just couldn't stay away from the Chaos Emeralds and now Chaos has used their power to destroy us all", said the girl, "How could my father be so stupid. I have to stop this"

The Echidna Girl ran up the stairs towards the Master Emerald. Sonic soon followed noticing the badly hurt Chao all laying on the ground.

"He loved the Chao and Me. This is all because of Me. I must stop this. You are the controller are you not. You can control the power of the Chaos Emerald. Please you must stop him", said the Echidna Girl.

"It will take an extreme sacrifice to give me the power to stop Chaos Tikal. Only the life of a noble person will give me enough power to trap him inside my body", said a Voice.

"I don't care. He needs to be stopped before there are no Echidna's left", said Tikal.

"Very Well. Your life for the entire Echidna Race", said the voice again.

Sonic could only watch as an intense light shone from the Emerald consuming everything in it's path. When the light faded he was outside the temple again.

"That poor girl gave her life to seal Chaos inside the Master Emerald. When I use the emeralds to power myself my emotions completely consume me. With all the rage Chaos was feeling when they hurt her. Oh it all makes sense", said Sonic, "Chaos can't control his anger and he still feels angry for what happened all those years ago"

Suddenly his thoughts were broken by the sounds of jet engines. Sonic hid behind the walls of the temple and saw Eggman heading towards a giant metal tower.

"Damn that Tails. Who knew he was as strong as Sonic. Ugh! This is embarrassing", mumbled Eggman.

Well done little buddy. You defeated the Egg but I guess it's up to me to finish him off.

Sonic kept his distance but followed Eggman into the tower for the final fight.

Gamma wasted no time in getting to Red Mountain. Having Angel Island crash back into the Ocean helped him immensely. He did a more detailed scan and found Epsilons Signal lay in the centre of the Volcano.

Gamma immediately flew to the lava cavern entrance

ACTION STAGE: RED MOUNTAIN Volcano (GAMMA)

The lava itself didn't cause Gamma any problems, though the falling pillars did make navigating the area difficult. In front of an Eggman shaped rock face stood the Orange robot E-104 Epsilon.

"You miss your master. Do not worry brother I will show you the truth and free you from his evil control", said Gamma feeling pity for Epsilon

"E-102 Gamma. Scanners indicate Master registration file has been deleted. You have betrayed Master Robotnik and must be stopped", said Epsilon.

"I will make this quick brother", said Gamma.

BOSS: E-104 EPSILON

Gamma was shocked to find Epsilon was no different from Delta, just his missiles fired faster. Gamma aimed his gun with pride. He used lasers and that made him feel unique, well amongst other things like having feelings.

Epsilon fell just like Delta and Gamma celebrated in the exact same way.

"E-104 Epsilon Destroyed. Rescue Complete", said Gamma shooting into the air.

Gamma now needed to find E-105 Zeta. But no scans gave his location. Gamma began checking his memory banks and found all he could think about was Beta. Seeing his brother being mutated by machines. Ripped apart with his limbs replaced by stronger weapons and armour.

Then it occurred to him. If Beta was being upgraded on the Egg Carrier, maybe Zeta was there also. Gamma immediately headed towards the Egg Carrier Crash site, hoping he would pick up a signal from Zeta.

Amy arrived on the Egg Carrier bursting with excitement. This was adventure she wanted. Exploring the tombs of a dead airship, the sign of Eggman's failure to beat Sonic again.

Amy headed towards the prison halls but instead of going down that route she picked a different door and found herself in the bowels of the ship.

ACTION STAGE: HOT SHELTER (AMY)

Amy went down into the Hot Shelter using one of the two elevators. To her horror just as she left the Elevator was blasted to smithereens by some sort of explosive. She turned round to find Zero waiting for her.

"ARGH! Not you again", said Amy before running away.

Now not only was the seemingly invincible Zero chasing her again, she was trapped in a massive of engines, machinery and tanks of cooling water. Not to mention the amount of badniks waiting for her.

This was her big test and it was up to her to complete it.

The moment Sonic arrived in the tower he jumped out of his skin. Even though it seemed inactive and behind a thick sheet of glass he was there. Metal Sonic. That thing gave him the creeps. Exactly like him only made of metal and pure evil. Surely one of the Doctors most devious creations.

And he was about to meet another as he reached the main entrance to Eggman's base. It was locked with some sort of keypad system made up of panels on the ground. Sonic sighed as he press one of the panels and found that the sequence of lights changes slightly. Some panels were lit up, some weren't.

Sonic wasn't the best at puzzles and hated this sort of stuff. After several long attempts he eventually opened the door into Eggman's base, The Final Egg.

ACTION STAGE: FINAL EGG (SONIC)

Eggman's base was huge. Just like Lost world you wouldn't think it was this big just by looking at the outside. There seemed to be giant holes in the walls for some reason. Sonic didn't think that was intentional. Someone must've been here before causing trouble. Though there was no way Tails could've done this. Knuckles perhaps?

It didn't matter. Sonic decided to focus on the task in hand and faced each one of Eggman's devious traps head on. Towards the end of his long journey through twisted corridors of machinery he even came across dolls of himself, Tails and Knuckles. The Sonic Dolls in particular were very badly damaged.

Sonic thought nothing of it. Hitting the Dolls was easily, hitting him was completely different. Sonic eventually found his way to the central control room of the base. He had been in this situation before. Set off the Self-destruct and get the hell out of there.

But before he could do that he was greeted by the maniacal laughter of Dr. Robotnik.

"Welcome Sonic. So what do you think of The Final Egg? Took you long enough to get here", said Eggman smiling.

"Nothing I can't handle. After all I did just take down the Egg Carrier fairly easily I might add", said Sonic.

"Well well. You're welcome to try to defeat me here but you won't. It's useless give up", said Eggman.

Sonic rolled his eyes.

"Whatever weapon you have you might as well get it out now so I can destroy it and get home", said Sonic.

"Very well. Behold my most brilliant weapon. The Egg Viper. Follow me up if you dare", said Eggman.

A long snake like machine, mostly red with a giant head, ascended a vertical tunnel to two thin floating platforms. Sonic grabbed hold of a nearby rocket and flew up to the platforms. It was a long way down and Sonic couldn't fly. The Doctor had certainly picked the right arena.

But he still didn't stand a chance.

BOSS: EGG VIPER (SONIC)

The Egg Viper was surprisingly fast for such a big machine. Crying, "Get a load of this", Eggman fired a series of short laser blasts right at Sonic, Sonic merely kept running to avoid them.

After a few blasts Eggman raised his machine next to the platform and opened the head to reveal four giant laser panels. The four panels charged into one giant laser but left the cockpit open to attack. Sonic wasted no time and smashed into the cockpit.

The Egg Viper seemed to fall back in pain. And disappeared into the abyss below.

"No Way is it that easy", said Sonic, "Be on your guard"

The Egg Viper returned to the quick laser blasts and Sonic had to think fast to avoid them. Fortunately fast was his middle name and once again he avoided every blast. Instead of using the giant laser technique next though he created a giant explosion that Sonic just managed to avoid.

After that Eggman tried the big laser attack but this time extended the tail and got some distance from the platform. It was too far to simply jump, instead Sonic noticed the small circular platforms on the tail he could bounce off to get to the cockpit. And that's exactly what he did, landing safely on the other platform.

Eggman repeated the pattern, thinking it was a lucky hit, and Sonic managed to do some serious damage to the machine.

"OK time to turn up the heat a little", said Eggman.

Eggman smashed the other platform leaving just the one. Eggman tried more laser attacks but instead of using the big laser attack he went to the end of one of the platforms. The Head seemed to morph into two massive spiked platforms.

Their height made jumping on top of them difficult and getting hit by them was not an option. Eggman fired the platforms towards Sonic as if to punch him with them. Sonic dodged the first blow and landed on top of the platform during the second blow. Sonic then dealt a crushing blow himself.

The Egg Viper began to spark and Sonic knew it couldn't take much more damage. Eggman retaliated by smashing the platform down even further. Sonic had virtually no room to run off now. His reflexes had to be on top form to land the final hit.

And they were. Jumping on top of the spiked platforms Sonic landed the final hit on the machine.

"NO! THIS ISN'T HAPPENING" screamed Eggman as he lost control of the Egg Viper Completely

Sonic watched as it flew in the air exploding with small explosions. He smiled as he watched his opponent try and control the massive metallic beast. Sonic knew it was only a matter of time before it exploded for good.

"Watch out. Eggman is going to try one last attack!" said a familiar voice.

Sonic dove out of the way as Eggman rammed into the platform and dropped straight down into the machinery below. The explosion destroyed the core of the base and the entire thing started to explode.

Sonic watched as the roof began to open and daylight entered the arena.

"You may have won the battle Sonic but I have won the war. Unless you can fly this is it for you", said Eggman racing towards the roof in his eggmobile.

Sonic waited for just the right moment and jumped onto it getting a good firm grip. Eggman tried to shake Sonic off his vehicle before he escaped through the roof but Sonic held on. Once out Sonic let go and rolled onto the floor beneath him.

Eggman was long gone mumbling angrily as he left. Sonic meanwhile stood back up and watched Eggman's tower base crumble and explode. He had done it again. He had defeated Eggman once more.

But one thing kept this from being a total victory. Somewhere out there was Chaos and he knew that until he himself had all seven chaos emerald, the prophecy from the Mural in the Temple could still happen.

It was long from over.
