Author's Note: This is the final Filler Chapter of the Angel Island Arc. Made up that name which should've been early on. Anyway, after this, we go back into the MHA Storyline to begin Season 2.
Chapter 24: Battle Against Five & Emerald Revived
Sonic, Izuku, Tails, Knuckles, and Nezu arrived on the island. The fox cub landed the Tornado on the beach. Everyone looks around seeing the mountains and the palm trees in front of them. Izuku and Nezu were curious about the way the island is. It was almost like they were in Hawaii. They look back to see the city from the distance behind them. The boy was nervous about All Might, hoping that he could make it to the island on time after his fight with Eggman.
"All right, the Gaia Temple is not that far from here." Tails said, using the Miles Electric, showing the map where the temple is located. "We have to continue on into the jungle. Be on the alert, no telling what is expected on the island."
"There still could be Badniks roaming around the island. The ones we missed out on destroying when we came here years ago. Keep cautious about your surroundings." Sonic said.
"We're wasting time. Let's get to the temple. I'll lead the way since I know more about the island." Knuckles said.
They made their way to the jungle. Sonic turns around to see Izuku, looking back at the ocean. "Izuku, let's go. Don't worry about All Might. He'll be fine. Our mission is to get that emerald revived." He said.
The boy turns around with a concerned look. He follows the others to the jungle. Sonic patted he's back to comfort him while he walks pass the hedgehog. Nezu walk near the hedgehog. "I know you're trying to make sure he's confident. You remember what All Might said the previous night." the principal said.
"I know. I have to protect him or otherwise All Might will come after me for failing." the hedgehog said.
"Just focus on this mission and tell Izuku about what All Might said," Nezu said.
"I guess you're right. We better get going." Sonic catches up with the others to the jungle.
Suddenly, Nezu's Phone vibrated from his pocket. Grabbing it, he notices a phone call coming from Recovery Girl. Using his paw, he answers the phone. "What is it? We just got on the island. It better be important." He said.
"We got a problem. All Might's not showing up on the radar." She said on the phone.
"What do you mean he's not showing up?" Nezu asked as Sonic stopped walking after hearing those words.
Meanwhile, All Might lays on the ground. His body moved slowly, trying to get back on his feet. The Symbol of Peace got on his feet, feeling the headache with his hand on his head. Minutes ago, he encountered Eggman and was about to fight him. But suddenly, he encountered a group of EggRobo Elites known as the Hard-Boiled Heavies. One of then known as the Heavy Magician pulled out the Phantom Ruby, creating a shockwave portal below the hero. It causes All Might to be sucked in before blacking out.
He rubbed his eyes to get them back in focus. Once he did, he looks around his surroundings. He was in a skyscraper city decorated with studio equipment, cinema elements, and theater objects. The sun on the horizon was setting down for dusk. In his mind, he was thinking he was back in the city. But going through the portal created by the Phantom Ruby, he was in another world.
"Where am I? One minute I was facing off with Eggman and then those robots came out of nowhere. Then one of them pulled out the jewel out of its hat, creating a portal where I was sucked in. Could I be back in the city? The sun's setting down. Must've been a long fall. Question is… where's Eggman and those robots I've encountered?" He thought.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared behind him. Turns out the wall were multiple LED screens showing the face of Eggman, laughing before turning around to show his face as a logo of the Eggman Empire. Seven circles of different colors appeared above the logo. Below, the words appear saying Egg TV.
"Egg TV? What this a TV Network of his own?" All Might thought.
The screen changes to some type of news intro with a male voice heard. "Live from Eggman's News HQ in Studiopolis, its the Egg TV News Report with Anchors Decoe and Bocoe." The screen cuts to the angle of a newsroom where the two humanoids sat behind the large desk with papers in front of them, looking at the camera.
"Good evening and thank you for joining us. I'm Decoe." the yellow humanoid said.
"And I'm Bocoe. We begin our Top Story of the night on the Most Wanted Man, still on the run by authorities. The man is known as All Might." the gray humanoid said with the screen of All Might's Face behind him and the words Wanted below it. "This man considers himself armed and dangerous. He has caused the hurt of many people. A reward total of his capture is one billion dollars. Many sightings of him that likely can fly and land on rooftops."
"Now that is the biggest lie I've ever heard! I should find that place and tear it down!" All Might thought, gritting his teeth and clenching his fist at the same time.
"Hold on," Decoe said, putting his right hand on the side of his head. "I'm getting information from our producer that All Might may have been found." Below, the red bar with words of Breaking! All Might Found!, appears on the screen. "It's been reported that All Might is found somewhere in the city. Police are on the scene to that location thanks to a tip. Our darkest days are almost over."
"Hooray!" Bocoe said as Confetti flies down on the set. The humanoids jumped on the desk, dancing comically. "No more All Might! No more All Might! No more All Might!"
"These guys are stupid. Does Eggman have pathetic people on his side?" All Might thought with an Anime Sweatdrop on his head.
Suddenly, he heard like a chopper flying behind him. Turning around, his face turns to shock when he saw the Heavy Gunner on his helicopter with his rocket launcher on his shoulder. Among them were multiple EggRobos with Billy Clubs, ready to hit the hero and multiple Cop Speeders. A spotlight turns on above him. He looks to see a regular EggTV chopper, shining the light.
"Our chopper at the scene showing All Might surrounded by Police," Bocoe said as the hero turn around to see the camera's live view on screen from the chopper.
"This is like the upside-down world, isn't it?" All Might thought.
"Halt! You are Under Arrest. Surrender now or face the consequence." the Heavy Gunner said via loudspeaker.
"Sorry! But I preferred the other way! Tell your boss I'm coming for him… unless you can catch me first!" All Might use his speed, to run as fast on the road.
"Don't let him escape! Get him!" the Heavy Gunner yelled as everyone went after the Symbol of Peace.
[Music Insert: Speed Highway from the Sonic Generations Soundtrack]
The chase was on. All Might kept running with the sound of sirens and a chopper going after him. He sees a tunnel up ahead. Likely to be difficult for his enemies to go through the hole. He speeds up towards it and inside. The Heavy Gunner stops the chopper from almost hitting the wall. Some Cop Speeders and EggRobos went through the tunnel to continue the chase. Other EggRobos armed with Energy Beam Pistols, firing at him from behind. The hero dodges them while running. He sees the light at the end of the tunnel. But multiple EggRobos and Cop Speeders were blocking the exit.
"Gonna have to create an opening." All Might thought, folding his arms into an "X" shape while charging towards the exit. "CAROLINA SMASH!"
All Might released his arms, sending a big shockwave at the badniks. The force was so strong, it sends both EggRobos and Cop Speeders flying backward in the city. Many of them crash to nearby buildings through the windows. Others colliding together, hitting and destroying one another. Many hitting nearby billboard signs and big LED screens of Eggman's Face appearing.
The hero pressed on through the freeway. He was still on alert since he's been hunted by Eggman's Forces. He saw the road going upward like a roller coaster. Going up and down and another doing a circle. He saw the end of the road with construction signs up ahead. He notices a building next to the freeway. Inches before nearing the end, All Might jumped to the side of the building, running while breaking the windows at the same time. He saw the other half of the freeway by jumping off the building and back on the road. All Might look back to see if he was being chased.
"That's weird. You would think they be more following me… unless they're planning another trap up ahead." He thought when he saw another dead end up ahead. "Guess it's time to take it to the air."
He lifts himself off the road, flying in the air and throughout the city. Multiple spotlights turn on instantly where one caught him in it. Suddenly, an energy beam came out of nowhere passing the right side of his face. Turning around, three EggRobos firing their energy beam pistols at him. He landed at a nearby building, encountering three Cop Speeders in front of him. The hero ran past them, crashing into the glass doors, shattering the windows. He ran through tables and chairs before exiting out by crashing to another glass door. Instead, he was running down on the window to the ground.
"Shit! I thought it was the exit I went through! As long as I manage to escape from them." All Might said, breathing a sigh of relief until he heard sirens noises. He turns around and he was shocked to see all of Cop Speeders and EggRobos chasing him downward. "Are you serious? These guys don't quit do they?!" He looks down to see he was approaching the glass roof. "Great! More glass! Here we go again!"
All Might cross both his arms to shield his face. He crashes through the window as the badniks entered as well. He came across a black pillar in the middle. At first, he was planning to crash through it. But another mind came into place. He did a quick sidestep to the left. Both an EggRobo and Cop Speeder crashed into it, destroying themselves. Another blockade where four glass doors were coming towards him. He did another sidestep to the second exit. Multiple badniks got destroyed in the process. Three more pillars came and he did a sidestep to the right and another badniks got destroyed. Then sidestep to the middle coming view of the floor. The hero landed on the ground. He looks up before quickly exiting from the building where multiple badniks were destroyed, causing an explosion.
All Might let out a sigh of relief. "Finally, that was over. Better get out of here before more come along." He resumes running on the street and back on the freeway. "Now I gotta find Eggman and try to get back in my world. That Phantom Ruby had something to do with it."
Suddenly, he heard another sound where a missile came from behind. The hero dodged it where it hit a building nearby, exploding a room. He looks to see it was the Heavy Gunner on his chopper, aimed with his rocket launcher. There were three EggRobos with billy clubs among the group.
"Halt! You are under arrest!" the Heavy Gunner said in a robotic tone.
"Great! He's back! And he brought friends with him!" All Might thought.
[Music Insert: Hard-Boiled Heavies Boss Theme (Hi-Spec Robo Go) from the Sonic Mania Soundtrack]
The hero is involved in another chase again. This time with an EggRobo cop, armed with a rocket launcher while riding on his helicopter at the same time. All Might would've stopped and use his Quirk to end it quick. However, if he stopped, he'll get chewed up by the helicopter's propeller. He just kept on running while the EggRobos chased him down.
The Heavy Gunner fires his rocket launcher, shooting out three missiles. Two were red and the third is blue. The objects flew pass All Might. First, the hero thought he missed. However, the missiles turn back around and went for him. The hero jumped over the two red missiles coming towards him. The blue missile came towards him. He jumped a little too early. Once he came down, he hit the blue missiles. At first, he thought he was hit, but the missile went out of control going upward. It came back within seconds, aiming towards the chopper. Instead, the missile destroyed one of the EggRobos.
"No way! The missile that I stepped on manage to ricochet towards the chopper. I didn't hit it but manage to destroy the other robots. If I can hit the missile coming towards me, it can ricochet back towards them. Let's see it happen." All Might thought.
The Heavy Gunner fires three missiles again. Launching passes the hero, the three turn around, aiming towards him. This time, the first red missiles are the bottom and the second in the missile. The blue missile is flying above. All Might waited till they get closer. Within inches, the hero jumped and use his fist to punch the blue missile, sending it in the air. The red missiles flew past him as he landed back on the freeway. The blue missile aimed towards the chopper. The Heavy Gunner move the chopper upward, dodging the missile while it destroyed the second EggRobo.
"At least there two of them. But destroying the chopper is the priority. If I can get rid of the last robot, I can use my Quirk to destroy that chopper." All Might thought.
The chopper returns with one more EggRobo left. The Heavy Gunner launch more missiles. Once they flew pass the hero, they turn around, launching towards him. This time, the first red missile floating above while the other floating below. The blue missile was in between both missiles. It was gonna be difficult for All Might now. Until he brought an idea.
"Hopefully, this can work." He thought, using his right arm to do a punch. "NEBRASKA SMASH!" Instead of the punch, he uses his right arm to spin around, creating a small but powerful tornado. Usually, he can suck enemies in it, instead, the red missiles were spinning out of control going opposite ways. He uses his left fist quickly by punching the blue missile in the air.
The missile came back, launching towards the chopper. The Heavy Gunner saw it again, lifting the chopper back in the air again, dodging it. The missile hit the last EggRobo. Making the Heavy Gunner the only one left standing.
"Now's my chance!" All Might jumped in the air, using his right fist to charge the chopper. He saw the Heavy Gunner ready to fire more missiles. "Not this time! TEXAS SMASH!" He delivers a monstrous punch on the chopper, destroying with a shockwave in it. The Heavy Gunner tries to escape but All Might's Fist followed, destroying the robot for good. The explosion light up the night sky throughout the city.
[End Music]
At the newsroom, Decoe and Bocoe sat at the desk with eye wide, witnessing the chase and the aftermath. The screen behind them shows a static noise snow screen. They lost connection to their cameras after the explosion.
"Uh… what happened?" Bocoe asked.
"Did we beat All Might? Anyone find the connection to get our cameras back on the air." Decoe said.
Suddenly, something crashed in front of them from the ceiling. Both humanoids took cover underneath the desk. They look up slowly from the debris smoke to see what causes it. Only for the smoke to clear to see nonother than the Symbol of Peace appearing.
"It's All Might!" Bocoe yelled as he and Decoe were shaking in fear.
The hero turns around, facing the humanoids with his glowing green eyes. He slammed his right fist on the desk, destroying it. The humanoids were more frightened than ever. "So you're one Eggman's Minions trying to mock me by thinking I'm the enemy. I'm gonna give you a chance to spare your life! By that, where's Eggman?" He asked, cracking his knuckles.
"W-W-W-Well, you see… he set us up to do this. It wasn't our planning. Honest." Decoe said.
"Y-Y-Yeah. Like he said." Bocoe said when All Might slam his fist on the screen in between the humanoids.
"WHERE IS HE?!" All Might yelled when Decoe pulled out the Phantom Ruby. "How you get that?"
The ruby activates, creating a shockwave throughout the room. The portal bellow All Might opens up like before, sending him inside of it before closing.

Back on Angel Island, Sonic, Izuku, Tails, Knuckles, and Nezu continue their journey to the Gaia Temple. They were walking through the jungles. The boy was afraid of either a spider or a snake that would appear out of nowhere at any moment. The principal walk behind him. There were other things on his mind after learning All Might disappeared from Earth. Earlier, he told Sonic about the situation and they decided to keep this under wraps so it won't force the issue to be a distraction for Izuku and the current mission.
"According to the map on my device, we should be almost there to the temple." Tails said, looking at Miles Electric.
"Good. Hopefully, we get this done before Egghead shows up." Sonic said.
"Keep an eye on your surroundings. Eggman could show up at any time and ambush us." Knuckles said.
"Don't forget the leftover forces that Eggman left behind years ago during the incident when he stole the Master Emerald," Sonic said.
"Leftovers? You mean there's more of Eggman's Robots that are here on the island?" Izuku asked/ "You mentioned that there was an incident on this island? What happened?"
Sonic explained about the time when the Master Emerald was stolen by Eggman. He and Tails arrived here to try to stop him only for them to encounter Knuckles. The echidna mentioned the doctor manipulated him, thinking Sonic and Tails were the enemies trying to steal the Master Emerald. Turns out he was used by Eggman so the doctor can get close to stealing the emerald. The hedgehog went to talk about at the time he and Tails went into space to infiltrate the Death Egg to beat Eggman and getting the emerald back to Knuckles and the island.
"So the Death Egg Eggman is the one you guys destroy that is rebuilt?" Izuku asked.
"Yep. But he secretly builds it where nobody on Earth notices it." Tails said.
"Better to do it secretly rather have the entire world go into panic mode. No offense." Nezu said.
"There's still another question..." Izuku said. "How did the island manage to-"
Suddenly, an object comes flying from one of the palm trees, hitting the back of the boy's head. The others flinch as they turn to Izuku, rubbing the pain off the back of his head with his hands.
"What happened?" Knuckles asked.
"I don't know. Something just hit me." Izuku said, looking around at the jungle.
"Everyone, keep an eye out. We could be entering an ambush." Sonic said.
They stood together in the jungle, looking around for the person or something that threw an object towards Izuku. They could hear bird sounds within the jungle. The boy looks around from the tree lines to see anything that comes out. He looks down to see the object that hit the back of his head. He examines it before giving it to Tails.
"A coconut?" Tails asked.
"That could be the one that hit me in the head. But by who?" Izuku asked when another coconut came down, hitting Nezu in the head.
"Ow!" the principal yelled, using his paw to rub his head.
"You okay, principal?" Izuku asked.
"I'm fine." He replied, picking up the coconut near him. "Another coconut. Somebody here is throwing these towards us."
"They have to be coming from the trees," Izuku said, looking back at the trees.
Everyone kept their eyes on the trees in case of another coconut appears so it could give the others the location of the figure throwing it. It didn't take too long for another coconut being thrown from the trees. This time, Sonic found where it was thrown. Knuckles jumped in the air, using his fist to destroy the coconut to pieces. At the same time, the figure appears from the tree looking at them.
"There's our suspect. A Monkey Dude." Sonic said, pointing his finger at the robot.
A Monkey Dude is one of Eggman's Badniks. It has a have a metallic blue body, a thin silver tail, and arms made up of four segmented spheres, which are tipped with a clawed hand on each of them. They also have a black face with white black eyes and a yellow beak-like mouth. This Badnik does not appear to have legs, as it hangs from trees with its hands and tail.
"Not surprisingly it would be one of them. Especially when they are still operational since the incident." Knuckles said.
"A Monkey Robot? This day is getting weirder by the day." Izuku said.
"Look like he ain't the only one," Nezu said, pointing his paw showing more Monkey Dudes hanging on other trees looking at them.
"Crap," Izuku said as the badniks rain down coconuts at them.
"Izuku, take the principal and hide in a tree nearby! Will deal with these Monkey Dudes!" Sonic yelled as the boy and Nezu took cover in a tree from the raining coconuts.
Sonic does a speed dash, spinning like a ball towards the tree, destroying one Monkey Dude before slingshot himself towards another tree, destroying another Monkey Dude. Sonic uses his speed dash by hopping in the air, slamming on a Monkey Dude. Then as a pinball, destroying ten more of them within seconds. Tails using his twin tails to destroy five Monkey Dudes. The battle lasted within seconds for the heroes to take down every Monkey Dudes.
Izuku and Nezu were inside the tree. They look outside to see pieces of badniks that were destroyed on the grass.
"All clear. You guys can come out now." Sonic said as the two crawls out from the tree.
"That was quick. Didn't take it would take that long." Nezu said.
"These things are weak so they are easy to handle." Tails said.
"Wish I would've helped out," Izuku said.
"I know but we can't take the risk of you getting in battle yet once the Chaos Emerald is fully back in power. Don't forget how bad One for All is if you use it." Nezu said.
"That's true," Izuku said.
"We better get going. Keep an eye out for anymore badniks getting in the way." Knuckles said as they continue their journey to the temple.
What they didn't notice in the trees, an Egg Drone was looking at them after uncloaking itself.
The portal from the Phantom Ruby opens from above. All Might came falling out of it, hitting the ground that mix with snow and cherry blossoms. Luckily, he was okay as she slowly got back on his feet. He wipes the snow and cherry blossoms off his costume. He looks at the new location he arrived. He's in a garden outside a castle. The area filled with cherry blossoms and ancient architecture. Snow falling with glowing lanterns in the distance.
"Where the hell am I?" He thought, looking around at his surroundings. "This is almost similar to a Japanese Castle in Tokyo. Am I back home?" The cold breeze blew by him, causing the hero to shiver. "How in the world does it get cold all of a sudden?"
Suddenly, he senses something coming towards him. A star-shaped object flew towards him. The hero dodges it, hitting the ground near him. All Might look at the object where the red light beeped softly. Then begin beeping quickly as he realizes it by taking cover behind a pair of rocks nearby. The object exploded with shrapnel flying everywhere. Some hitting the rock where the hero took cover. All Might look up to see the crater created after the explosion.
"Wonder who threw that?" He thought when he caught something coming down. The hero did a quick step backward, letting the object fall to the ground to face him. "What the? It's the same robot?"
[Music Insert: Heavy Shinobi Theme from the Sonic Mania Soundtrack]
It was the Heavy Shinobi. One of the other members of the Hard-Boiled Heavies.
"This one's a ninja type." All Might thought when he realizes something. "Hold on! This has to the robot Tsukauchi told me that Kamui Woods encounter a couple of nights ago on the rooftop of a building."
The Heavy Shinobi pulled out its sword, charging towards the hero. All Might does a quick sidestep to the right, dodging the blade. The robot swung the blade, causing the hero crouch down, dodging from his neck. The robot uses his sword, hitting the ground. It created an Ice Wall going towards him. The hero dodges the ice by doing a side step to the left. At the same time, the robot pulled out two Asterons; swinging them towards All Might. The hero dodges both of them before exploding. Pieces of shrapnel flew everywhere. One grazing him on the cheek, creating a cut.
"I better do something before he attacks me!" All Might thought as he charges towards the robot with his arms crossed like an X shaped. "NEBRASKA SMASH!" Before he attacked, the robot uses its sword, icing both his arms before unleashing his Quirk. "No way! How did he do that?" All Might was shocked before using his strength to break the ice.
The robot pulled out three more Asterons. All Might is about to dodge them again, only for them to explodes inches away from him. Shrapnel flew everywhere. One grazes his right arm. The second grazed the left side of his arm. The third graze his left thigh. Both received cuts on the area where the shrapnel graze it. All Might flinched by the pain he got. He looks up to see the robot using his sword to go for the kill. Within a second, the hero uses both his hands to stop the blade closer towards his face. This battle between life and death was like arm wrestling. His hands were bleeding by the blade cutting a little on his palms.
"I have to think of something. I'm losing my grip." He thought with the blade slowly sliding towards the end of his hands. His eyes caught the Asterons on the robot's waste. An idea came to his head. He lifts his right leg while keeping the left leg for support. His leg presses the red light quickly on the Asterion causing to beep.
The Robot heard the sound. Quickly using its left arm while keeping the right arm on the sword. It quickly grabbed the Asterons. But All Might use his left leg to swing kick the robot as it drops the sword. The hero smashed it as he charges towards the robot. "NEW HAMPSHIRE SMASH!" He smashed the robot with his body on the wall, destroying it along with parts of the castle and landed on the other side.
[End Music]
All Might got up from the ground, wiping the snow and blossoms off his suit. It did leave some blood from his palms after holding the blade. He looks down to see the Heavy Shinobi destroyed with parts on the ground. After that, he decided to leave the place. But up ahead, he saw two humanoids on a computer looking at information. He knew who they were as he cracks his knuckles, ready to pound them.
"You two! Stop right there!" He yelled as Decoe and Bocoe turn around. But he saw Decoe holding the Phantom Ruby as it activates. "Great. Not this again."
The portal below him appears again, sending him to another world… again.
Back on Angel Island, the others continue through the jungle. They didn't encounter more badniks that were left on the island. They finally saw an opening in front of them as they exit from the jungle. They look forward to seeing an old ruin building in the clearing. The temple shown pillars being cracked and debris on the ground. Other pillars were on the ground, shattered. Mother Nature growing strings of leaves on the building trying to cover ancient history.
"Here it is. The Gaia Temple." Knuckles said.
"Wow. An old temple on this island." Izuku said.
"This is almost like the old ruins in Greece. I'm surprised this survived once it enters the Earth's Atmosphere." Nezu said.
"The island can withstand anything during traveling," Sonic said, approaching the temple before turning to the others. "Well, let's get inside and get that Chaos Emerald back to life."
The others agreed as they followed Sonic towards the temple. As they walked inside, they don't notice an Egg Drone was hiding in the jungle, watching them entering the ruin.
"Targets located. Information sends to Eggman." the Egg Drone said in a robotic tone.
–
Meanwhile, All Might dropped from the portal in the sky. He crashed landed on a platform that was moving. He slowly got up, putting a hand on his head feeling a headache. Coming back in focus, he looks around to see where he was at. Looking at his surroundings, he saw canyon rocks in the distance to his right. Cactus nearby passing by him. He notices he's currently in a desert. It was hot as hell like an oven he was in.
"Great. Now I'm in a desert. And it's hot." He thought, wiping the sweat off his forehead. "Question is,… why I'm moving?" Suddenly, a horn was heard behind him. That's where it finally hit him. "I landed on a train."
He landed on a train earlier after dropping from the portal. The train is a steam locomotive connecting with open wagons and passenger cars connecting to it. The front of the train was shaped of Eggman's Face. Decoe and Bocoe were the ones driving it. Bocoe pulled the rope down, letting the horn sound on the train. Decoe was shoveling coal inside the engine to make the train a little faster. At the same time, their eyes caught on the screen of All Might on the carts, wrapping the wounds from the cuts by the Heavy Shinobi earlier.
"There he is on one of the carts," Decoe said.
"We better do something right now. We already lost two of the robots he's beaten and we don't want the boss to find out as well." Bocoe said.
Right on cue, the screen cuts from All Might to Eggman himself. Both humanoids were surprised but were frightened to see him. "Decoe, Bocoe, how things going with All Might? Is he defeated?" the doctor asked.
"Please don't be angry, boss. The hero is here in the desert. On the train... he manages to destroy two of the Hard-Boiled Heavies in the last two places he was sent. That's why he's here." Bocoe said.
"You better give me information on All Might right now or I'll be very angry," Eggman said.
"U-U-Uh, well... it's kind of a long story." Decoe said while being nervous.
"HE DID WHAT?! TWO OF THE ROBOTS ARE DESTROYED BY HIM?!" Eggman yelled in anger, making both humanoids frightening.
"This guy doesn't want to quit. We're down to three left. By all means, if he were to beat all the Hard-Boiled Heavies, he'll get the Phantom Ruby and return back to his world." Decoe said.
"Listen, idiots, the other idiots and I are on the island. We're about to launch a counterattack on Sonic and the others who are in the Gaia Temple trying to get the Chaos Emerald back to revival. I want you to continue keeping All Might busy for the time being. Let me know if you defeat him and make your way back here in this world. If you don't, I would be very angry and turn the two you to scrap. Understood?" Eggman asked.
"Yes, sir. We won't let you down." the humanoids both said.
"You better," Eggman said as the screen turn off.
"We need to do something or we're going to become scrap," Decoe said, pressing a couple of buttons. The screen came back on, showing the Heavy Magician. "We have a job for you. That big strong human is coming for us. We want you to distract him with every magic trick you got. Don't let us down.
The Heavy Magician tips his hat to them before leaving his area to take on the Symbol of Peace.
Meanwhile, All Might walks along with the flat wagons. With stronger legs, he was okay to walk despite the train moving a little faster, making the wind blowing in his face. "I must walk on these wagons towards the front. See if I can stop this train from where ever it goes." He thought as he walking closer to the passenger wagon.
Suddenly, he stopped walking when he heard something. He looks ahead to see the passenger doors slides open where the Heavy Magician made its appearance. The robot tips his hat off to the hero as a hello. As a magician, it uses its hat where two Vultrons flew out and in the skies. All Might look up to see the badniks flying. One Vultron swoop down to attack the hero. All Might use his right fist to smash it to pieces. The other Vultron tries to ambush him by swooping down from behind. The hero senses it as he uses his left leg to kick it to the left side of the train.
All Might proceed to the doorway of the passenger car. Using both hands, he pries open the door. He walks into the car to see it was empty. He walks slowly, looking from left to right to find the Magician Robot. It was quiet. The only sound is the train moving. Walking in the middle, he pauses to sense something. There were no people in the room which made it weird. He gave one last look before proceeding to exit.
Suddenly, something crash through the car. It causes All Might to drop to the floor. He looks up to see the upper part of the passenger car broke in half. Getting up, looking around to see what cause it. There was nothing there but the desert landscape. He senses something coming from the right. He saw a trail of sand coming towards the train. Once it got near it, a big object jumped over the train. All Might was shocked to see a big, giant worm with ten pink-colored sphere shapes as a body. The worm landed right back in the desert to the left.
"Giant roboted worms? Does this day get any worst?" He thought to himself when he looks forward to seeing the Heavy Magician tipped its hat again from the front. "I'm started to get annoyed by this robot."
All Might charged towards the magician robot to attack. But then, the Uber Caterkiller return by jumping from the sand. The hero looks up to see the badnik looking towards him. The caterkiller dropped on the passenger car, destroying it. All Might jumped off just in time before it was destroyed. He got back up on another flat wagon to see the magician robot using its hat again. This time, two Bumpalos jumped out, starring at the hero blowing steam from its nose. They both charge at All Might, using its horns like a bull to attack its target. The hero jumped in the air, dodging their attacks. Both Bumpalos stopped at the edge of the flat wagon. They look back at the hero who landed on the other side.
"Have to find a way to stop them before they attack. Also, have to keep an eye on my limit. If I go back to my true form, Eggman would win this one. There's gotta be a way to beat them." He thought.
Both Bumpalos charged at All Might again. But at the midpoint, the caterkiller was back again. It jumped from the sand, launching another drop attack on All Might. The hero jumped on the top of the wagon call while the caterkiller destroyed the flat wagon along with the Bumpalos. He looks forward to seeing the magician robot looking at him.
[Music Insert: Heavy Magician Boss theme from Sonic Mania]
"Enough games! Time to end this once and for all!" All Might yelled as he charges at the robot.
The magician uses its hand to create purplish smoke around itself. Then clapped both hands where the smoke spread. All Might stopped at one point, waiting for the smoke to clear. It didn't take long for the smoke to clear up. Appearing out is an anthropomorphic wolf with a stetson hat, boots, gloves with metal plates, and a belt with a gold buckle. The figure smile at the hero before pulling out a popgun, firing a cork.
All Might dodged the cork. He charges towards the wolf figure by punching him. Only for the smoke to appear with the magician showing itself again. "She's using tricks to create a person. But the good news it stuns her for a while after. If I can do like just now, I got a chance at beating this thing." He thought as he punches the magician.
The robot uses her hat to cover the entire body. Then it rolled back out, revealing the same wolf figure again. It kept firing corks at All Might. He dodges multiple corks to punch the figure. The magician appears from the wolf's form. The hero tries to finish it but the robot claps to create smoke again. This time, the magician appears as an anthropomorphic woodpecker. It threw bombs at All Might, causing them to explode to mini-explosions. All Might dodge them one by one. He threw a punch at the woodpecker, appearing back as the magician. The robot uses her hat to cover herself before pulling it back up to the same woodpecker figure again.
All Might goes for another attack while the woodpecker throws many bombs at the hero. He dodges every bomb, exploding from behind. The hero uses his leg to kick the woodpecker, back to the magician robot.
"Now it's over!" He yelled, ready to use his Quirk to finish it.
However, the magician wasn't done yet. She claps her hands again where the smoke appears. Then an anthropomorphic polar bear appears out from the smoke. The bear goes after the hero by throwing a punch. All Might dodges it with his left. He counters with his left hand and the bear blocks it with his right arm before using his left leg to trip the hero. All Might fall to the ground. He saw the bear do a body slam but the hero roll to the left, dodging the slam. He almost rolls off the roof but pauses at the rear end. The bear tries to push the hero off the train. All Might kick the bear to the right side as he almost falls off the train.
Both figures got on their feet, ready for another round. The bear again tries to do a diving punch. But All Might does a sidestep to the right before using his right leg to kick the bear again. This time, the bear reform back to the magician. The robot tried to use her hat to reform back to the bear. But he hero ain't gonna let her.
"Sorry, but it's over!" All Might ran up to the robot by activating his Quirk with his left hand. He jumped in the air, towards the robot. "MISSOURI SMASH!" He performs a powerful chop, destroying the robot to pieces.
The fight was over. However, there was still one more problem. The Uber Caterkiller jumped out from the sand, launching another leaping attack. It was going towards All Might. But then, smoke appeared on the robot. Instead of an attack, the caterkiller went from big to small. It landed in front of All Might, hopping around. The hero uses his left foot, smashes the robot to pieces.
[Music Ends]
After that, All Might press on to the front of the train. He stood in front of it by using his right leg to kick the door. The object flew towards the engines in between the humanoids. Decoe and Bocoe flinched when they turn around to see the Symbol of Peace with his glowing eyes. He was not happy.
"N-N-No way… you manage to beat the magician?" Decoe asked, nervously.
"I'm done with your games! And if you think using the ruby to take me to another wor-" All Might was interrupted when he saw Bocoe holding the Phantom Ruby. "Oh, snap."
The ruby activates again and the same portal bellow All Might appears. Sending him inside it to another world.
Back on the island, Sonic, Izuku, Tails, Knuckles, and Nezu walk along the hallway of the Gaia Temple. Small lanterns were hanging on the walls from left to right; helping to guide them to the location of where their heading. They remain cautious while walking. There may be a booby trap hidden in the temple for anyone that gets closer to that spot. The fox cub uses his Miles Electric to see a map of the temple as a compass for their destination.
"The location I'm looking at is not that far. We should arrive in the room in no time. Still, be careful because there are traps here somewhere." Tails said..
"You know how these temples with traps. They are used for anyone that gets closer to that location." Knuckles said before changing to another subject. "So, Izuku, you've been training with the Chaos Emerald for ten years now? Wonder what's it like to have that power?"
"Ever since Sonic and Tails gave it to me, the emerald has helped me go through the early stage of training. Before meeting All Might, I usually go to the airfield to train by using the emerald. Then that's when All Might came into my life and took my training to the next level." Izuku said.
"You mean giving you One for All as your Quirk and at the same time the Chaos Emerald protects you from breaking your bones," Sonic said.
"Yeah, that's true…" Izuku said when he snaps back to reality. "W-Wait! W-What?"
"Don't worry, All Might told us everything about his Quirk and how he passes it to you. He told us about it last night at U.A. And yes, your principal was there as well." Sonic said.
"Seriously?" Izuku asked, shockingly.
"And they agree to keep it a secret from others. Including their friends for the time being." Nezu said.
"That's why I told you to hide in the tree with the principal during that battle with the Monkey Dudes. I know you want to be part of the action, but we can't let you use your Quirk to break your bones with the Chaos Emerald protecting your body." Sonic said.
"I understand," Izuku said as the proceed throughout the temple.
Outside the temple, Eggman stood in his Eggmoblie, looking at the temple in front of him. He's currently in deep thoughts. At the same time, he heard heavy footsteps approaching him. He look to his right to see the Robotized Nomu standing next to him. It has both a rocket launcher in his left hand and the M134 Minigun in his right hand. The Nomu turn to his master, waiting for orders.
"You know they're in there. You have your orders. Make sure to you deal with them and bring the emerald back to me. Don't forget to bring the boy to me as well." Eggman said as the Nomu walked to the temple.
"Boss, everyone's in place," Scratch said as he, Grounder, Coconuts, Orbot, and Cubot approach them from the jungle.
"Good. I'm sending the Nomu to the temple to ambush them. Coconuts, get on top of the temple. There should be opening holes. Throw some smoke bombs inside so they be surprised while the Nomu moves to the temple." Eggman ordered.
"Yes, sir." the monkey badnik said.
"Everyone, hold positions until I order otherwise. The Nomu will chase them out and that's where we attack. Understand?" Eggman asked.
"Yes, sir!" the minions answered.
Inside the jungles, EggRobos, Egg Gunners, Egg Pawns, Egg Launchers (H+V), and Egg Fighters were hidden in the trees. They were waiting for Eggman's Orders to launch the attack on the temple.
–
Meanwhile, All Might drops out of a portal by landing on the ground with his legs. He got up to observe his surroundings. He looks up to see a large hole with stars brighten up the night sky. He looks down to see lava all the way down below him. He notices ramps and two fire stacks in the middle next to him. Finally come to his senses, he's currently in a volcano.
"I'm in a volcano. Thank goodness it not erupting. I get that feeling I could be facing more of those robots. So far I've beaten three. There's two left. I got to keep an eye on my limit as well. The more I keep fighting, the toll it'll take for me to lose." He thought when he heard something coming.
Out of nowhere, a large mace almost hitting his head. He dodged it with a sidestep to the right. He turns around to see the Heavy Rider, with her mace as a weapon to swing and hit her target. The robot currently riding a Moto Bug, one of Eggman's First Generation of Badniks. Its eyes have red rings around its pupils like an insane person.
"This one should be interesting. Riding a lady bug robot as a vehicle. This is gonna be good." All Might thought as he got in his fighting stance.
[Music Insert: Heavy Rider Boss Them from Sonic Mania]
The Moto Bug let out steam as it charges towards the hero. The robot swings her mace at the same time, hoping the ball spike hit All Might. But he jumps in the air, dodging the mace. He landed back down when he turn around and saw the robot charging again. He jumped again as he did before landed back. The Moto Bug hit the breaks, turning around to charge back at the hero. All Might jumped in the air. But this time, the Moto Bug jumped as well. That shocked him where the robot swings her mace closer to him. All Might quickly drop back on the ground. The Moto Bug landed back on the ground, charging at the hero. He did a quick slide step to the left, dodging the attack.
Instead of turning back, the Moto Bug rode on one of the ramps. It turn back around, riding on the other ramp, Like a motocross biker, it jumped the ramp over the fire stacks to the other ramp. At the same time, the fire stack shot out flames all over the place. Confetti also rains down as well. All Might dodge the flames before it died down.
"Confetti? Seriously? Is this thing trying to be a stuntman or what?" All Might thought as he saw the robot coming back for another attack. "Time to end this fast! I'm getting tired of this crap!" He ran towards the robot, activating his Quirk with his right hand. "DETROIT SMASH!" His fist slammed at the Moto Bug, with enough shockwave to destroy it. The Heavy Rider tries to escape, but his fist does an uppercut, destroying the robot in the process. The wind sent up in the hole, towards the sky.
[Music End]
Everything calmed down. The fight ended quickly not like the last three. All Might took a sigh of relief after that one. "At least that was easy. Unlike the previous ones. Now, I know those idiots are here. Time to find them and get that ruby." He thought.
"Well done, All Might." a robotic tone was heard as All Might turn around to see the Heavy King, floating above the ramp, facing him. "I admire you of what you did. You have managed to beat all four of my comrades. But you have yet to face the real and final battle. That battle will be against me. You won't have a chance at beating me."
"That's some big talk from a robot that already lost his friends. Either way, I'm done dealing with you. If you excuse me, I need to get back to my world." All Might said.
"That won't be necessary." the Heavy King pulled out the Phantom Ruby. "Decoe and Bocoe left this for me. They escaped back to your world to rejoin Eggman. He and the empire are about to assault the island and try to defeat Sonic and the others. Including your student and principal."
"What?!" All Might was shocked as the robot use his scepter to create a hologram. It shows Eggman along with his forces standing outside the Gaia Temple. He even saw the Robotized Nomu on top of the temple. "That's the same beast that attacked the students at USJ. Including almost beaten Young Midoriya to death. This is not good! I demand you to take me back now or else!"
"As I said, if you want to go back to your world, you must beat me. Even better, you can claim the Phantom Ruby for yourself." the Heavy King said.
All Might had no choice. With the limit of his transformation almost at its end, he had to do something before Eggman attacks the temple, "Fine. I accept your challenge." He answered.
"Very well. Come to my world. This is the final battle. You win, you receive the ruby and return to your world. Lose to me, you will remain in this world for eternity." the Heavy King said as he activates the ruby.
The portal appears in front of All Might. The hero jumps in, going once again to another world while the Heavy King follows.
Back inside the temple, the others arrived in the main hallway. The trail on both sides shows multiple small pillars with a blue light on top of them. It let them to the entrance of the central altar. The altar shows multiple green flames around with a pedestal in the middle. They enter the altar, amazed by the entire place. There's also a carving of a Chaos Emerald on the wall above on the back.
"This must be the altar to revive the emerald. If the carving of the emerald on the wall indicated, then we're in the right place." Tails said when the place begins to rumble.
"What is that? An Earthquake?" Nezu asked when another pedestal rise out with a hole in it. The vibration in the room stopped.
"Guess all that shaking was from that." Knuckles said as Sonic turns to Izuku.
"Izuku, it's time. Bring the Chaos Emerald to the hole. That way, the emerald came back to life." He said.
The boy approaches the pedestal. He examines while standing in front of it. He pulled out the emerald from his pocket. Looking at it one last time, he let out a sigh. He begins to put the emerald in the hole of the pedestal. Until a loud roar echoed throughout the temple. Everyone took notice as they look around to see where the sound was heard. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles ran up to the entrance look at the main hallway. Izuku and Nezu stood behind.
"W-What was that sound?" Izuku asked.
"I'm not sure. But we're not alone." Tails said, pulling out the Miles Electric, showing the map on screen with a red dot approaching them from the same way they came through. "It's coming towards us."
"Eggman I guess?" Knuckles asked.
"Can't be. With that sound of the roaring, that's impossible." Sonic said. "Izuku, Nezu, stay behind us."
The trio stood still, looking at the darkness in front of them. They could hear footsteps coming towards them. Izuku was getting nervous with his heart pounding fast. Nezu stood still, a little nervous. The footsteps grew closer. The main heroes were ready to fight. Then the footstep sounds stopped. Everyone looks at one another with curious looks. They were still cautious to find out who it was because of the roar they heard. They know it ain't human.
"Is it coming or what? Why isn't not attacking?" Knuckles asked.
"Not sure. Maybe trying to sneak attack us from behind." Sonic said.
"They've or it could've launched the attack by now." Tails said.
Suddenly, an object dropped on the ground in front of them. They look down to see it was a bomb with fuse almost running out. The echidna grabbed the bomb and threw it to the right. It exploded in the air. The others cover their eyes from the explosion. At the same time, the roar was heard again. Everyone looked back to the front when they smoke cleared up. They were all shocked to the Robotized Nomu standing the middle of the hallway, looking at them.
"No way! It's the same monster from yesterday!" Knuckles yelled.
"If he's here, then that means Eggman is on this island!" Tails yelled.
"But who threw that bomb from the ceiling?" Sonic asked as the three looks at the ceiling.
Izuku stood in terror, seeing the same monster again that attacked the USJ. Almost killing both Vlad King and Aizawa and almost try to get everyone in danger. Even worst, the same monster almost killing him to death. What made it interesting, the boy could see the difference in the monster's body. There were metal parts on his arms and legs, One half of his face made of metal. "S-Sonic, there's something different about that thing." He said.
"Actually, it's the same monster from yesterday. But when you were knocked out, Eggman turns the monster into his robot. It's Eggman's new weapon." the hedgehog said.
"You're kidding? He turn that thing into a robot? If I recall, he was with those Villains that almost killed my teacher." Izuku said before realizing something. "If you mean that Eggman's here, along with the monster, then that means All Might-"
"Izuku, focus on trying to get that emerald to revive. Tails, Knuckles and I will deal with this creature! Nezu, get to cover!" Sonic yell as he and the other two launch their attacks.
"Midoriya, get the emerald back! There's not that much time! Don't worry about All Might! Focus on what we're here to accomplish!" the principal said.
The boy look on with fear and confusion. There wasn't much time for that. It his job to get the emerald back or it could be trouble for the heroes.
Meanwhile, All Might exit from the portal. He arrive in a purple-hued void of a barren wasteland where time and space act erratically. He stood on a single platform with several stage lights around the platform. The lights mysterious came one. All Might use his arm to cover his eyes from the brightness. Once his eyes came to focus, he move his arm to see the Heavy King landing on the other side. The two stood face to face before the final fight.
"Prepare yourself. This will be the end for you." the robot said.
"Will see about that!" All Might yelled as he was the first to go on the attack. He activates his Quirk with his right fist. Just when he got closer, the Heavy King use his scepter, shooting out a purple beam on the ground. It created a shockwave, sending the hero backwards on the ground.
"Nice try. I know your powers and strength. If you think you can end it quick, think again. I've studied you while fighting one of my unit." the robot said.
"With those words, he must've watched me doing battle with the other robots. If he's that powerful, I gotta be prepare for what's coming. Can't give up after making this far." All Might thought, getting back on his feet.
"Now it's my turn." the Heavy King use his specter, creating a shield of spheres around himself. Then, he shoots the spheres one by one towards the hero.
All Might dodges them. One almost hit him on the head, he dodges it moving his head to the right. Another almost hit him on the left side, he did a quick sidestep to the right. The others he dodge from left to right. He thought he got one of them. But the last one hit him on the chest. A big blast send him crashing back on the ground. The pain was more stronger for the hero. He slowly tries to get back up. The Heavy King flew forward, using his specter to hit the hero's face, almost sending him on the edge of the platform.
"I'm more superior to you, All Might. I'm the king. And there's nothing you can't do to beat me." the robot said, mocking him.
All Might panting, slowly getting back up. He coughs a little blood from his mouth that came from the sphere blast that hit his body. "This is gonna get more worst. If I don't win, it's over." He thought when he notices smoke begin to appear from this body. "Oh no. My limit… I'm in big trouble now."
Outside on top of the temple, Coconuts brought with him a big bag of bombs and smoke grenades mixed in together. He grabbed another bomb out, lighting the fuse before walking towards one of the holes He look down to see the battle between the Robotized Nomu and the Freedom Fighters.
"They started already. Better help out the beast before those stupid idiots take the advantage." He said, before dropping the bomb inside the hole. "Those idiots are gonna be so distracted, they don't know I'm up here. Ha! Ha!"
Back inside, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles got in defensive stance with the Robotized Nomu in front of them. The creature roared at them. Izuku and Nezu stood at the pedestal, away from the fight. The boy was hoping All Might would show up and save them. He doesn't know that he disappeared from the world.
"So! You back for more beat downs?" Sonic taunting the monster. "I wish I could've beaten you the previous day but some blonde spiky temper tantrum punk got in my way of victory. Since you came back, time to finish what we left off."
"Better be careful. Thanks to Eggman turning the thing to a half robot, it more stronger than it was before. Plus, it has a rocket launcher and a minigun." Tails said, looking through the Miles Electric at the Nomu.
Right before the fight, another bomb dropped from the holes above in between them and the Nomu. Knuckles grabbed the bomb and threw it to the left as it exploded. "Someone's dropping bombs from the ceiling." the echidna said, looking up.
"Has to be Eggman or his minions. Dropping them as a distraction for the creature to gain advantage. Tails, go up and see who's doing it. Knuckles and I will handle this guy." Sonic said, turning to Izuku and Nezu. "Guys, take cover somewhere before it comes to you two! Hurry!"
Sonic and Knuckles charged towards the Nomu while Tails flew up to the ceiling to find out who's throwing the bombs. At the same time, the creature use both it's right hand with the minigun, aiming at Tails and the left hand with the rocket launcher, aiming at both Sonic and Knuckles. Pulling the trigger on the minigun, the barrel spins, raining bullets at the ceiling at the fox cub. Tails flew around the ceiling, trying to avoid the bullets coming towards him. The Nomu fire a missile at Sonic and Knuckles as the two dodges the object. The missile took a direct hit on the right side of the wall, creating another hole.
"How about a knuckle sandwich, buddy!" Knuckles does a Power Attack on the Nomu's chest. "Huh?" the echidna does multiple punches on the chest again. "No way! None of the punches hasn't effect on him!"
To make matters worse, with the echidna's attack, the Nomu can absorb every attack coming from it's opponent. Just like he did at the USJ Incident with he fight against Izuku. Despite being robotized by Eggman, the Nomu still has his Quirk he can use in battle. The creature threw the rocket launcher to the side. It use its right fist to punch the echidna to the right side of the wall. The impact made the place shake.
"Knuckles!" Sonic yelled, seeing his friend got hit. He charge towards the beast by doing a spin attack. He hit the Nomu from the back, only to be deflect off from it. He does another spin attack all over the creature's body and not a single felt of pain on the creature. Instead, its Quirk was absorbing more of the power to make it stronger. "Compare to the fight I had with this thing, it's not feeling any pain!"
The creature use the minigun to hit the hedgehog, sending him flying near the wall where Knuckles was hit. It then roars throughout the temple, a clamming victory for itself. Both Izuku and Nezu stood in terror, watching their friends being taken down that quick.
"This is not good. If only All Might was here, we would have a chance. I can't fight with it. If I do, I use my Quirk with a risk of my arms being broken. If there's anything we can do?" Izuku thought, shivering in terror.
"Where's All Might where you need him. I should've brought more Heroes with us. Stupid." the principal thought.
Back on the roof, Coconuts look from the holes at the Nomu. He jumped up and down, celebrating that victory was getting closer. "Ha! Ha! The monster beat Sonic and Knuckles! Now that boy's in big trouble! He better just give up the emerald or else else else!" He said.
"Should've known it would be you!" Coconuts turn around to see Tails, hitting him with his two tails. "Not surprisingly it would be you who threw the bombs! Where's Eggman?"
"If I was you, I worry for that boy right now. He's in trouble trouble trouble." Coconuts said.
The fox cub looks down from the holes to see both Sonic and Knuckles unconscious. He saw the Nomu making his way towards both Izuku and Nezu. "Oh no! I have to save them!" He yelled.
Suddenly, a large net dropped out of nowhere, trapping the fox cub. Tails struggle to get out of it; only for the net to be pulled backward by someone else. Turns out, the net came from none other than Dr. Eggman's Eggmobile. The doctor himself arrives along with his minions and a couple of EggRobos and Egg Gunner.
"Well, well, well. Look at what we just caught." the doctor said.
"Boss, the monster just took down Sonic and Knuckles. He's gonna try to attack the boy." Coconuts said.
"Really? I better stop my creation at once before he does anything crazy. Must keep that boy alive at all cost. Especially when he has the last emerald. It's time to meet him in person" Eggman said, turning to the fox cub. "Join us, Tails. It would be disappointing for you to see your friends for the last time. Ho Ho Ho!"
Back in the other world, All Might lay on the ground. Bruised and beaten. His costume has little cuts around it. There was smoke appearing from his body indicating the time limit of his muscular form was coming to an end. The Heavy King landed in front of him to mock him more.
"Just admit defeat. If you keep getting back up, you're just gonna make it more worst than before. Plus, you're transformation is coming to an end. That boy of your will have to give up the Chaos Emerald as well. It's over. You lose." the robot said.
"I-I can't… let it.. end like this…" He thought, struggling to get back up.
Back at the temple, the Robotized Nomu slowly approach Izuku and Nezu. The beast notice the boy from USJ before. He remember every beat down by him. But he does remember giving Izuku the biggest beating of his life. This time, it was ready to finish where he left off. This time by killing him. Izuku stood there, don't know what to do. With All Might in another world and Sonic, Knuckles down by the count, it spell trouble for him.
"Halt you're attack!" a voice was heard from above.
Izuku, Nezu, and the Nomu look up to see Eggmoblie, EggRobos, and Egg Gunners floating down the temple. Once they landed, the EggRobos and Egg Gunners aim their weapons at the boy and the principal. Both frightened with terror, Izuku saw Tails captured in the net. Eggman exit from his Eggmobile, standing next to the Nomu, petting it. The minions minus Decoe and Bocoe had their laser guns pointing at the two.
"Well, well, well. We finally meet at last… Izuku Midoriya." Eggman said, looking at the boy. "And if isn't the principal himself from yesterday during the whole fight."
"Y-You must be Dr. Eggman. The one Sonic told me about." the boy said.
"So I guess the hedgehog told me about my name? My name is Dr. Ivo Robotnik. But you can call me Dr. Eggman. Ruler of the Eggman Empire."
"I-I believe you're here for my Chaos Emerald, correct?" Izuku asked.
"You're a smart one. I never thought you'll be this smart. No wonder All Might saw you as a successor to become the Number One Hero." Eggman siad as the boy was shocked.
"W-What? How did you know that?" Izuku asked, shockingly getting nervous.
"There's no need to keep secrets." Eggman said, pressing a couple of buttons on his watch. Multiple hologram appears showing past videos of Izuku training with All Might, along with training with multiple heroes during the whole ten months. Also footage of him and Bakugo fighting during the Combat Training. "I've watched every moment of your life. All Might giving you his Quirk. Training with him along with the Chaos Emerald you have. Plus, the way you handle that boy in the training. And doing battle with the Nomu… which is mine now after robotize it. So yeah, there's a lot to the story. Also, you must know my invasion plans of the Earth itself. You'll find out soon enough. Right now, I want something very important to you. But first, I want to ask you this question… why do you want to become a Hero?"
Izuku flinched at that question. At first, he didn't want to make up anything because Eggman will know he's lying. He look back at Nezu where the principal nod his head in agreement to answer it. He look around where the minions were waiting for his answer.
"T-The reason... I want to become a Hero… is because I want to save people with a smile on my face… I want to save them so they can give me the trust to rely on saving another day." He said, pulling out the Chaos Emerald out of his pocket. "That's why Sonic and Tails gave this emerald so it can help train to be a Hero. Then All Might came along and gave me his Quirk to be more stronger than ever. I dream of becoming a Hero one day… and I promise that I will be that person to say… I am Here!"
The boy's screamed with his fist in the air. He had a determine look where the room is silence. Everyone robot look at one another. Both Eggman and his minions look at one another before turning back to the boy… that is when they both started laughing.
"HA HA HA! A hero? Seriously? That's gotta be the most dumbest thing I heard in my life." Scratch said, laughing.
"Here's my smile. So people think I'm a clown of stupid." Grounder said, laughing.
"My name's Izuku and I want to be a Hero so people can smile at me. HA HA HA!" Coconuts said, mocking and laughing.
"This is the person All Might found to be a Hero? This has to be a joke right? How in the world would Sonic give the emerald to this joke of a nothing!" Eggman said, laughing.
"DON'T YOU DARE LAUGH, EGGMAN! I WILL SAVE EVERYONE!" Izuku said with anger.
"Oh, I'm so scared. What you gonna do? Beat me up or something?" Eggman asked, mocking the boy.
"He's not a joke! He's gonna be the best Hero! And you know what's funny, he's gonna beat you, Eggman!" Tails said.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever. Anyway, I'm done. Now the moment of truth, hand me the Chaos Emerald. Right now." Eggman said.
"What if I don't?" Izuku asked, holding the emerald.
Suddenly, one of the Egg Gunners snuck behind, grabbing Principal Nezu, holding him at gunpoint. That shocked the boy, getting him more nervous. "Then I guess I got no choice at making the principal as my robotic pawn. Last chance, hand me the Chaos Emerald." Eggman said.
"Midoriya, don't give him the emerald! If you do, it's over for this planet!" Nezu said.
The boy was now under huge pressure. If was life or death. Either he gives the emerald to Eggman and Nezu stays alive. Or he doesn't give it up, and let everyone die within his hand. Deep down, he does want to save everyone. Time was indeed running out. With All Might not around, it was pretty much gonna be a dead-end for everyone.
"Ribbit." Suddenly, everyone heard a sound. They look around to find the voice of the sound in the room. "Ribbit." The sound was heard yet again. Everyone was confused, thinking this place was haunted. Izuku look around to find where the sound was heard. "Ribbit." The boy froze after hearing it again. This time, it was like near him. Izuku slowly turn his head to the emerald and realize a small animal on the emerald looking at him.
"Ribbit." the frog on the emerald.
"A-A frog?" Izuku asked.
"What's a frog doing here in the temple? How did it get here?" Tails thought when he realizes something. "Oh no… if the frog's here… then that means..."
Sounds of footsteps were heard coming from the entrance behind them. A large cat ram through multiple EggRobos, running to where the frog was located. Eggman and his minions got out of the way quick. The big cat stopped in front of Izuku where the boy's body turn comically white. The frog saw the cat as it hop on it's shoulder.
"There you are, Froggy. You ran off like that." Big the Cat said, petting it before turning to Izuku. "Thank you so much for finding him..." He then pulled Izuku into a big hug. "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
The hug was so much that Izuku was turning blue. It made him drop the emerald on the ground. The hug lasted for a minute as the cat turn around to see he wasn't alone. "Uh,… what's going on here?" He asked.
"Big! Save us!" Tails yelled.
"Quick! Takedown that fat of a cat!" Eggman yelled as the Robotize Nomu jumped in, standing face to face with the cat.
"Uh, who are you?" Big asked as the Nomu roared by swing its right fist towards him. The cat quickly grabbed it with his right hand. The Nomu uses its left fist to punch. But the cat grabbed it with his left. Both figures locked in an almost arm-wrestling match. The ground was cracking by the strength of both figures.
"Someone take that cat down, now!" Eggman yelled as one EggRobo aim its gun at the cat. But then, a blue blur destroy it out of nowhere.
"What the hell I've been doing this whole time while I was napping?" Sonic asked, looking around when he saw the Nomu and Big colliding. "Big? No way!"
"Sonic!" the hedgehog turn to see Tails trapped in the net.
"Tails! I'm coming!" He yelled, charging towards him.
"Take that hedgehog down!" Eggman yelled as an Egg Gunner aim his guns at the hedgehog. But a red blur appears out of nowhere, destroying the robot.
"Sorry, it took so long to be awake." Knuckles said, ready for a fight as Sonic saves Tails from the net.
"Thanks, Sonic." The fox cub said.
"No problem. But what's Big doing here?" Sonic asked,
"Big the Cat? He's here as well?" Knuckles asked where he saw the cat going against the Nomu. "How did he find us?"
"His pet frog. It appears out of nowhere on the Chaos Emerald Izuku was holding. It leads Big to find him here. Thank goodness he showed up." Tails said.
"Where's Izuku?" Sonic asked as he saw Izuku on the ground with the Chaos Emerald next to him. He even saw the Egg Gunner holding Nezu as a hostage. "Cover me while I get to Izuku!"
The hedgehog ran up towards the boy. The Egg Gunner turns its weapon at Sonic. But Knuckles delivers a punch, destroying it and saving the principal from danger. Sonic got to Izuku, trying to wake him up. Eggman pulls his laser gun, aiming at both the hedgehog and the boy. But Tails jumped in, hitting his face with his twin tails. The battle raged on as Tails and Knuckles were doing battle with both Egg Gunners and EggRobos. Big and the Robotized Nomu still locked in a fist of strength.
"How's Izuku?" Nezu asked as Sonic tries to wake him.
"He's okay but unconscious. Guess Big's Hug knock him out cold. Sorry about that." Sonic said.
"It's okay. He saves our lives for a reason. We must get the Chaos Emerald to the pedestal." Nezu said.
"Leave it to me," Sonic said, carrying the boy on his shoulder. He grabbed the Chaos Emerald, rushing towards the pedestal. "It's now or never. Here we go." the hedgehog places the emerald in the hole.
Suddenly, a light sparkle on the pedestal. A green beam appear from the hole, lifting the Chaos Emerald in the air with a sphere of green aura surrounds the object as it spins. At the same time, a big green light emerge throughout the temple.
Back in the other world, All Might lays on the ground. Hopeless and defeated, his time was almost up. The Heavy King stood there, lifting the specter for the final blow. Suddenly, a green light appears from the purple clowns. The beam went straight down, colliding with the Symbol of Peace. The robot jumped back from the light. He observes what was happening.
Inside the beam, the smoke on All Might's body was gone. The hero slowly gets up. The cuts and bruises were gone. His uniform was being repaired. He feels the same power like he did when he saved Izuku and Bakugo from the Sludge Villain. "What is this? It feels like the same power from the Chaos Emerald months ago." He thought.
"Because it is." a voice was heard.
"That voice? Is that… Pachacamac?" All Might thought.
"Is it me. The Chaos Emerald has been restore thanks to Izuku as promise. The good news is that he has the ability to protect himself from using your Quirk. He'll be fine. Let him handle the rest of Eggman's Forces. I'm just glad to be alive after the incident the previous day. Right now, you need to focus on finishing off that robot. The powers from the Chaos Emerald is transferring to your body. That green beam you saw coming from the sky." the echidna chief thought said.
"Thank you. I thought I was done." All Might said.
"Hurry and finish your mission. Once you're done, return back to your world at once." He said.
After that, the green beam disappeared back in the sky. Once it was gone, All Might stood up with the green aura surrounding his body. He felt the strength of the Chaos Emerald like before. It has been a while since he felt the power. He turn to face the Heavy King. He wasn't smiling and his green eyes glowed.
"What? You were defeated. You should be giving up." the robot said, gripping his scepter in anger.
"If you haven't forgotten, I don't quit when I'm down. I attend to finish the job and get back to my world. I still need to continue on helping my student to become the next Number One Hero. Now, it's your turn to go down! Get ready! The real fight begins now!" He yelled.
The Heavy King uses his scepter by firing two beams across the floor. Another shockwave went towards the Hero, only for All Might to use both his arms in a shaped X Letter to shield himself from the attack. Successfully it worked. That shocked the robot. It created a couple of spheres by launching them one by one towards him. Shockingly, All Might use his arms to deflect them to other places.
"This is impossible." the Heavy King said.
"Believe it! Anything is possible! Now it's my turn!" All Might said as he was ready for another round.
Back at the temple, the green light around the altar slowly dimmed. Earlier, everyone pause their battle after seeing the light. Once the light was gone, the Chaos Emerald for the first time since the USJ Incident finally came back to life. The emerald slowly elevated down into the hands of Izuku. When he touch it, the green aura from the emerald surrounds his body. It was giving him strength to use his Quirk. His eyes were closed but once he open it, his eyes light up green with a determine look on his face.
"Is that Izuku?" Tails asked.
"It is him. And he doesn't look happy one bit." Knuckles said as Sonic touch the boy's shoulder.
"Well done. You got the emerald back to life. That won't make Eggman any happy." the hedgehog said turning to see the doctor gritted his teeth in anger.
"You finally got the emerald back to life. Doesn't matter. That emerald is still gonna be mine. I thank you for reviving it for me. It's time to give it to me." Eggman said, turning to the Robotized Nomu. "You have your orders. Get me the Chaos Emerald!"
The Nomu roared as he delivers a punch to Big, sending the cat to the right side of the wall. The beast has its eyes on the boy like before. It deliver another roar, trying to terrified him. It wasn't working this time. Izuku still has his serious look at the beast. The two were ready for the rematch.
"Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Nezu. Get behind me right now. I'm about to do something very crazy." He said as the others got behind him.
"Oh we're scarred. A little boy is gonna hurt us." Grounder said as he laughed again.
The more taunting they were doing, the more it was making Izuku more madder than ever. Sonic realize it but kept it to himself. He want to experience what the boy was gonna do. Izuku lift his right arm towards the front. He put his left hand on the arm to hold it. Creating a fist on his right hand, he move his thumb, locking it with his middle finger. Small red veins appears on his middle finger. That got the hedgehog's attention.
"What's that? Is this Izuku's Quirk? What's he gonna do?" He thought.
"DELAWARE SMASH!" the boy yelled as he snaps his finger, creating a monstrous shockwave.
Eggman saw how strong the power was. He activates the force field on the Eggmobile, lifting up to the ceiling, escaping the temple. The EggRobos and Egg Gunners were flown backwards, destroying themselves on the wall by the impact. The minions were flown towards the entrance of where they just came from. The Robotized Nomu tries its best to hold ground from the shockwave. But flew backwards to the entrance as well. The impact took a couple of seconds to end. The entire floor was covered with robot parts.
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles were shocked to see Izuku's Quirk for the first time. They didn't think it would be that powerful. Nezu notice their looks.
"Was that… his… Quirk?" the echidna asked, with a shocked face.
"Wow… that's insane power." Tails said, with a shocked face.
"Unreal. Plus, the power of the Chaos Emerald makes it more times stronger. Never thought the Quirk All Might gave Izuku would be that strong." Sonic said.
Suddenly, Izuku ran forward to the entrance. The others snapped from the shocked look to see the boy running.
"Where's Izuku going?" Tails asked.
"He's going after the Nomu. It appears Midoriya wants to fight it. A rematch of what happened at the USJ the previous day." Nezu said. "Remember, the monster almost tried to kill two of our teachers. Plus, it almost tried to kill him too. He wants to finish it off himself."
"No wonder he's angrier. We better hurry before anything happens to him." Sonic said.
"What about Eggman? He escaped when Izuku uses his Quirk." Knuckles asked.
"He's not leaving this island yet until he gets that emerald. He'll be outside as well. If he plans to interfere, will take him down ourselves." Sonic said as he grabbed the principal and speed out of the temple. Tails and Knuckles followed suit.
Back in the Egg Reverie World, the heavy smoke still surrounds the platform. All Might appears from the smoke, still standing with the green aura of the Chaos Emerald surrounding his body. The smoke in front of him starts clearing out, waiting for the Heavy King to see if he's still standing. Once it cleared, the robot appeared. But this time, in a different form.
The robot was bigger. It transform from its original form to a size of a Klepto Mobile. It still retains the same red, gold, and gray color scheme he sported before. Losing his legs, he has gained purple, square-like legs that dangle from his bottom. His shoulders and collars have also become more pronounced and the crown on his chest has become red, though at the cost of his cape. His circular arms are coated with spikes. His bronze-colored armor-plating has also become yellow and more pronounced, covering most of his body. It has the Phantom Ruby on top of the crown.
"Not surprise you're still alive. I expect you weren't ready to quit." All Might said.
"I'll never surrender to the likes of you. This is my true form. I'm the king and I'm always unbeatable." the Phantom King replied in a robotic tone.
"That's fine. Because I'm gonna win this one and return to my world!" All Might yelled as he prepares for the final fight.
Back on the island, the Robotized Nomu crashed out from the entrance of the temple. It lands on the ground before getting back up. It use a second Quirk called Super Regeneration. It grants it the ability to regenerate from severe injuries including the recent attack by Izuku's Quirk. The monster looks back at the entrance to see Izuku flying out with a fist, hitting the beast. That send him flying towards trees, destroying them. The Nomu tries to use the minigun on the boy, but Izuku use his right foot, kicking it off his hands with enough force into the jungle.
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Nezu exit from the temple. They see the battle going on as the Nomu was pushed back to the clearing. The hedgehog was about intervene in the fight, but Nezu place a paw on his shoulder. Telling him don't. Sonic took his advice as they look back at the fight. They weren't alone as Eggman along with the other minions arriving to see the battle at hand. The others has their eyes on the doctor in case he doesn't do any sneaky to get to the emerald.
Izuku charge out from the jungle towards the Nomu. He does multiple punches on the monster's stomach. The punches didn't affect it as it use the Shock Absorption Quirk to absolve the punches more. The beast does a huge punch with its metal fist on the boy's face, sending him flying towards the temple's wall. Sonic saw that moment to jump in, but Nezu still holds him back. The hedgehog didn't want another repeat of the beast's beat down on Izuku.
The boy got back on his feet. He curls himself into a ball like Sonic, doing a Spin Attack on the Nomu's Head. That got the monster dizzy from the attack. Izuku activates One for All. Red veins appear on his right arm and right hand. Forming a fist, he launches his attack to go for the win. Instead, a laser shot in between him and the Nomu. The boy stopped his attack to see where the laser attack came from. Turning to his left, he saw it was Eggman with the laser gun.
"Oops. Must've slipped that one in by accident." He said, laughing as the other minions do the same.
"Damn that Egghead." Sonic said.
"He's trying to screw over Izuku so that thing can win." Knuckles said
Izuku turn his focus on the Nomu to continue the fight. The others kept a close eye on Eggman and his minions in case they try to interfere in the fight.
Back in the other world, the battle between All Might and the Phantom King continues. The robot created more energy spheres, throwing them towards the hero. One by one, All Might dodges them from left to right. The robot use its arms to attack him with a punch. But he would grab the right arm, ripping it with his hands. Losing its arm, the king wasn't ready to go down. He launch another set of sphere. One almost hit All Might, but he use his arm to deflect it to the side. The robot use its left arm to attack. The hero counter it with his left leg. Then use his arms to rip it off. The king had to no arms but only its head left standing.
"I will not go down!" the robot said.
"Sorry. But you lose! It's over!" All Might activates his Quirk on his right fist, ready to go for the final blow. "This ends here!… DETROIT SMASH!"
The robot tries to activate more energy spheres to create a shield to protect himself. But it was too late. All Might delivers a massive punch on the robot. At the same time, a powerful shockwave erupts the platform. The floodlights shattered, raining sparks. Pieces of the robot were flying everywhere. The powerful wind dissolves the purple clouds in the sky. Showing a clear dark sky with stars. It took a couple of seconds for the wind to calm down. All Might look up at the sky, breathing a sigh of relief.
"It's finally over. Thank goodness." He thought when he saw the Phantom Ruby floating in the air. It light up at the same time, creating the portal near it. "If this is the end, then that means this portal will take me back to my world. Better hurry before Eggman get to them."
The hero jumps in the portal, grabbing the Phantom Ruby at the same time.
Back on the island, Izuku and the Nomu continue their battle. Eggman was ready to pull out his laser gun to distract the boy from his fighting. Sonic saw that moment as the hedgehog was ready to charge at the doctor. Suddenly, the portal appears in the sky below them. The fighting cease as everyone look up at the portal. All Might appeared from the portal with the Phantom Ruby in his hand, landing on the ground hard, creating cracks at the same time. The portal disappeared after that. Everyone was shocked to see the hero.
"I am… back in my world!" All Might yelled.
"A-All Might? You came!" Izuku yelled with a smile.
"Sorry for the long wait. I was busy in another world dealing with robots." He said, referring to the Hard Boiled Heavies he encountered.
"A-Another world?" Izuku asked.
"He's was in another world?" Knuckles and Tails asked together.
"Knew all along he would come back." Nezu thought, sharing a smile with Sonic.
"What's that in his hand?" Tails asked as see the ruby in the hero's hand.
"I'm not sure. Perhaps will look in to it once this is over." Knuckles said.
Sonic didn't tell his friends about All Might's missing. He was gonna tell them later after this mission is over. He look to see Eggman shocked and angry that the hero would be here. The minions were stunned to see him as well. The Robotized Nomu roared at the hero. Eggman ordered the beast to stop his attack for a while.
"I'll fill everyone in on what happened to me. But first, there's unfinished business." All Might said, turning to Eggman with glowing eyes. "There's something I want to give to you." The hero pulled out an object, throwing it towards the doctor. "I believe this belongs to you."
The others saw the object. Eggman and the minions were stunned when they saw the Heavy King's Head on the ground.
"N-No way! He defeated the Heavy King." Cubot said.
"That's impossible. Nobody couldn't defeat him." Orbot said.
"If he defeated the Heavy King,… then that means..." Grounder said.
"He must've defeated the other Hard Boiled Heavies. That means that those stupid humanoids failed." Scratch said, referring to both Decoe and Bocoe.
Eggman pound his fist on the Eggmobile. Angry and frustrated that All Might survived through the Hard Boiled Heavies. He's planning on dealing with Decoe and Bocoe later when they return to the Death Egg for their failures.
"I see you're very frustrated you almost took me away from my world. I'll give you credit on trying to beat me. But it's not good enough. Now then, prepare to surrender and leave this planet at once. Before you do, I want to know about this object in my hand. I think I heard the king robot saying it's call the Phantom Ruby. This thing teleported me to other worlds I've never seen before." All Might said, showing the doctor the object in his hand.
There was silence coming from Eggman for about ten seconds. Until he started laughing. The others were confused by it.
"What's so funny, Egghead?" Sonic asked as the others stood next to All Might.
"Why do you think? The object that All Might's holding is the Phantom Ruby. But that one is a prototype copy of the ruby. I didn't attend to give the REAL one that I processed to the Heavy King. Those robots were junk and failures." He said.
"So the one All Might has is a prototype?" Tails asked.
"Eggman must have created copies of the jewel to give to his robots." Knuckles said.
"Actually, the doctor's wrong on that one. I have the real one." A voice was heard.
Everyone heard it as they look around to see where the voice came from. They all look up at the sky and they were shocked to see non other than the Ultimate Mercenary himself.
"Infinite!" Sonic yelled as he was ready to fight.
"That's the same figure that took on all the Heroes the previous day." Knuckles said.
"Infinite, what are you doing here? I didn't order you to join us on this mission!" Eggman yelled.
"I was just checking up on what was happening and I heard that Angel Island made its arrival to this planet. Luckily, I'm looking at two familiar people who I encounter the previous day." Infinite said, looking down at both Sonic and All Might before looking at Izuku, which made the boy flinched. "You must be Izuku Midoriya. Another person added to my target to fight."
"H-How did you know my name?" the boy asked.
"I've watched you throughout the days that All Might chose you thanks to Eggman's spying. Here we are now face to face for the first time. I see you have manage to get the Chaos Emerald back to life. Adding both the Quirk All Might gave you and the Chaos Emerald, you've grown much stronger. You fought against the Robotized Nomu that I watched earlier. But that was just a taste of what to expect when you and I go against one another." Infinite said.
"Sorry, buddy. I won't let you get closer to Izuku." Sonic said, getting in front of the boy.
"You're making a big mistake if you plan on going after Young Midoriya. After what you did to the other Heroes at USJ, I'll make sure you'll be held accountable for it!" All Might yelled.
"Just like what I did to the heroes, you'll be joining them very soon. Once I'm done, I'll be dealing with Sonic and his pathetic Freedom Fighters. And then, it'll be me and the boy facing one another in the greatest fight of the century. If you want to be a Hero that badly, then prove it when you face me soon. Until then, I'll keep my eye on you once the invasion begins." Infinite said as he begin to leave.
"Before you go, the ruby you have is the real one on your chest. The one I have is the prototype jewel. Does that mean there's more the doctor and yourself are creating?" All Might asked.
"You'll find out soon enough. It's only the beginning." Infinite said as he left the island.
"Damn that fool." Eggman said, turning back to the heroes. "Well, it seems everything became a failure. Almost trapping All Might in another world but he manages to survive it and return. And the boy getting the Chaos Emerald back to life. Either way, this isn't over yet by a long shot. You may have won today but the war ain't over yet. I have a lot of other plans against the rest of you in the near future. As for you boy, keep the emerald. But it will be mine soon. Minions, retreat at once!"
Eggman launch the Eggmobile upwards to the sky while the minons jumped in before he would leave to space. The Robotized Nomu use its rocket to launch himself in space. The others were planning to go after him, but decided to let him go.
"He'll be back. As usually. He doesn't quit until he get what he wants. So will Infinite." Sonic said, turning to All Might. "You okay?
"I'm fine. Glad to be back in my world." He said, looking at the Phantom Ruby Prototype. "Found this while I was being transported to multiple worlds. Had to fought with those robots Eggman made. Thank goodness it's over."
"All Might." the hero turn to see his successor with the Chaos Emerald back to life.
"Great work, Young Midoriya. The Chaos Emerald is back to life." He said, seeing the green aura surrounding Izuku's Body. "I see you're finally feeling the power again."
"I'm glad you're okay. I was worried that you didn't show up." Izuku said. "I was wondering what you mean going to other worlds."
"I'll tell you more about it. Right now, our job is done here on this island. We got the emerald back to life and we can go home now." All Might said when he heard a ribbit sound. He look to his right shoulder to see the frog, looking at him. "A frog? How this little guy got here?"
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles eyes went wide. They knew what was coming. They heard heavy footsteps coming out from the temple. Izuku and Nezu turn around to see Big the Cat running out, running towards the Symbol of Peace. The hero turn at the last minute, only for to be hit towards a tree, comically unconscious. At the same time, the smoke appeared from his body, signalizing back to his original form. Everyone had sweatdrops while Izuku gasped comically, running to All Might. Nezu followed suit to see if the hero was okay.
"There you are, Froggy. Don't run off like that. Okay?" the Cat asked while holding the frog.
"Ribbit." the frog replied.
Minutes after the encounter, Eggman and his minions returned to the Death Egg. After parking his Eggmobile in the hanger, the doctor made his way to the bridge. He saw Snively at the computer as he turn to see the doctor enter. "Welcome back, sir. I guess the mission was a failure since you didn't get the Chaos Emerald back from the boy." He said.
"Failure? I never fail. The only people that failed are Decoe and Bocoe. Where are those two?" Eggman asked.
"In hiding I guess." Snively said.
"Order all EggRobos to find them and bring them to me this instant for their punishment." Eggman said. "And where is Infinite?"
"In the training simulation, sir." Snively said.
"What was he doing on Angel Island when the Phantom Ruby wasn't 100%?" Eggman asked.
"I'm not sure. I told him to stay but he doesn't obey any order to us. It'll be at the point he does whatever he want to do." Snively said.
"I deal with him later then. Right now, I decided to let that boy keep the emerald for now. We will make sure to continue to keep a close eye on him along with All Might since the Hard Boiled Heavies are no longer operational. Plus, he got the Phantom Ruby Prototype to give the Freedom Fighters." Eggman said.
"This is not good. We really have to find a way to get to All Might. Let's not forget those other villains are in the mix of getting him as well." Snively said, referring to the League of Villains.
"Don't worry about them including that person with multiple hands around his body. I'll make sure he'll be dealt with soon." Eggman said, referring to Shigaraki. Suddenly, the doors open as the two turn to see the Hero Killer walking in with a large object in his hand. "What are you doing here? How's that boy of yours doing?"
"We got a problem. It's not about the boy. But something else." Stain said, showing the head of a EggDrone. "I found this when I was getting back from the mountains with that boy I met. There were two agents dressed in suit near a warehouse. They said there was a message that they want to give to you."
Eggman and Snively look at one another with curious looks before looking back at Stain and the EggDrone.
Back on Angel Island, the others were on the beach as the sun was setting. Tails brush off palm trees off the plane. Toshinori was back in his true form again. He's still recovering from the hard bulldozed hit by Big. "Are you sure you'll be okay here on this island? You know Eggman will be back again." Sonic said.
"Don't worry. I got my friend here." Big said, referring to the frog on his shoulder. "Will make sure the island is safe."
The others sweatdrop by his answer. "Anyway, I'm surprise you didn't notice that you arrive here." Tails said.
"I didn't notice anything because I was fishing. Only thing I know was seeing the stars in the sky." Big said.
"Glad you're okay, though." Knuckles said as the cat turn to Izuku, Toshinori, and Nezu.
"I'm sorry for ramming in you." the cat said to the Symbol of Peace.
"It's okay. No need to apologize." Toshinori said as the cat turn to the boy.
"Sorry if I hugged you hard. This is the first time I meet a human." He said.
"It really is nice to meet you too. I'm wondering why your friends with a frog?" Izuku asked.
"Froggy has been my best friend. He always just runs off when I chase him. Luckily he enters the temple and I manage to caught him. Only for me to see you guys there with Eggman." the cat said.
"I wonder since he's friends with a frog, he could meet Tsu. Perhaps that'll be another day." Izuku thought.
"Anyway, we better get back to the airfield. The sun's already set for the day." Sonic said, turning to the cat. "I'll let Amy and Cream know you're here on the island. You be careful out here."
"I will." Big said.
After saying their goodbyes, Tails activates the Tornado's Engines. Sonic and Izuku stood on the top wing. Nezu sat in the fox cub's lap and Toshinori had to use both arms to hang on to the wing since all his powers from fighting against the Hard Boiled Heavies hit his limit from flying in the sky. They wave one last goodbye to Big and Froggy before the plane took off from the beach, leaving the island.
Minutes later, the Tornado landed on the runway of the abandoned airfield. The Freedom Fighters ran out from the hanger to meet with the others. Knuckles landed on the ground since he knows how the fly. Izuku shows the others Chaos Emerald revived. Sonic told Amy and Cream about Big on Angel Island including talking about Eggman. Izuku ran to the runway to change from his Hero Costume to his regular clothing. He places his costume back in the case before giving it to Nezu.
"I better get home before my mom starts worrying about me," Izuku said.
"You want us to take you home?" Toshinori asked.
"Don't worry, I can get there real quick with this," Izuku said, holding the Chaos Emerald.
"Before you go, just want to let you know school is back in session tomorrow. Make sure you're up bright and early." Nezu said.
"Thanks. I'll see you guys there." Izuku said, turning to Sonic and the others. "Thanks for helping me get the Chaos Emerald back to life."
"No prob. Be careful when you get home. Don't tell anyone where you been." Sonic said.
Izuku uses both hands to hold the Chaos Emerald. He closed his eyes as the emerald light up. A green aura surrounds his body. The ball of light surrounds the boy, disappearing from the airfield. That surprise both Toshinori and Nezu.
"He can use the emerald to teleport to other locations?" the Symbol of Peace asked.
"Sure. We taught him that early on when we first met." Sonic said.
"I see." He said before something came up in his head. "Oh, that's right. I have something when I was teleported to other worlds." The hero pulled the Phantom Ruby Prototype from his pocket to show the others. "Found this when I was fighting those robots. Not sure what it is but I believe this have to be these prototypes jewel Eggman was talking about."
Later that night, Izuku returns home to his apartment. He greeted his mom before running back to his room to hide the Chaos Emerald in a safe place. He exits from his room to eat dinner with his mother. Inko was surprised to see her son eating a big meal, faster than ever like he was starving. "Um, Izuku can you calm down a bit? You're gonna choke from eating that much." She said.
"Sorry. I haven't eaten all day including forgetting to eat breakfast you made." He said, drinking water within seconds. "This food is good. Thank you for making it."
Inko couldn't help but smile. "You're welcome, Izuku." She said as they proceed to continue eating together as Mother and Son.
End of Chapter 24
Author's Note: I'M ALIVE! You guy's missed me. It's been a long time since I last updated this story back in June. Been busy with so many things in life. Yes, been lazy forgetting about this story all summer long. Plus being back to work as well. A lot has happened for me and this chapter was a killer. I know I rush in many parts of it and you know me as a guy that I'm not perfect. So I just said screw it and just add parts to see if it can fit. It's a really long chapter again as like many other chapters that are longer in this story.
Anyway, I'm glad this Filter Arc is over but there will be more of this kind of arcs in this story later on. For now, we can't wait to get to the U.A. Sports Festival Arc. Now that one I really want to add the Freedom Fighters in this tournament. I know you want to see Sonic take on Bakugo in it and promise you that's coming. I do want to add a Final between Sonic and Izuku. I'll do my best for you guys to add in as we get ready to be fired up for the Festival Arc.
Also, we're only one week from today. The return of My Hero Academia Season Four coming up. It's been a long wait for a new season to come but the wait's almost over. I just got to go one more week before our heroes make their return to the scene. Plus, I did hear another MHA movie is coming this December called Heroes Rising. Be interesting to see how this plays out. Finally, another MHA Game is coming in 2020 as well.
One more thing, I'm planning on finishing this story at the end of Season Two. That way we can get to the Two Heroes Movie Arc that I'm planning to do as a separate story. I already got the Image Cover ready for it. You'll like it when you see it soon. So that means Season 3 will be in another separate story. Don't worry, I will get to Season 4 as well. A ton of adventures is coming real soon.
It's great to see you guys again. I haven't abandoned this story and I'm ready to get this thing going again. I'll see you guys soon in the next chapter. Have a great weekend and review.
