Sonic the Robotic Crisis
Part Six
xxxx
Sonic had just left Tails' house; his map indicated the house's position. The line went through many enormous areas, but ended at a very familiar place. This place was called Green Hill.
Sonic had already gotten a third of the way there when a small rodent robot popped out of a bush and tripped him. He got up and smashed the robot with his foot. Then, to his surprise, dozens of similar robots popped out of trees, bushes, and holes in the ground.
Then a laser popped out of each of their heads. Sonic instantly spindashed out of the way, but the robots followed.
How can these things keep up with me?Sonic wondered. They can't. That's how.
Sonic pulled out of his spindash and dipped his head. Then everything blurred behind him. He kept accelerating faster and faster. He muttered a couple of unintelligible lines, but he couldn't hear them. He outran his own sound waves.
Then he slowed to a stop because he saw a giant cliff in front of him. He jogged forward and started to climb the cliff. Once he reached a slope on the canyon wall, he tucked into a ball spindashed. He zoomed straight up the slope and to the top of the canyon. Not to far now, just one hundred more miles to go. Sonic thought.
Then he dashed into a forest. He stopped just in time to avoid stepping on a serpentine robot. He took a few steps back, then spindashed forward. He plowed through dozens of snake robots before exiting the forest. He didn't stop spindashing until he hit a large rock. It was then that he stood up and looked around. The area was green, but it was flat. Meaning it couldn't have been Green Hill. So Sonic jumped over the rock and dashed forward once again.
There it is…there's Green Hill. It's been so long since I've been there, I wonder what it looks like? Sonic thought.
When he reached the top of the first hill, he looked around in horror. What had once been a land as green and beautiful as Angel Island, was now a metallic mess. No…!
Sonic grimaced; it was going to take a lot of work to undo this mess. Which meant it was time for a recharge. He sat down and pulled a snack out of his bag. He was hungry, and he hadn't eaten in a long time. He unwrapped a chilidog and was about to take a bite when something hit him from the side. It was one of seven robots in a group that that eerily resembled Silver Sonic.
"Another one of you, huh. Robotnik is seriously overusing the doppleganger thing. At least before the robots were actually strong. You guys are just pathetic."
Then the robots charged at Sonic, moving at top speed.
Elsewhere, Robo Sonic was tracking Sonic. He had just made it through the forest. He could easily follow the line of torn grass that Sonic left when he ran.
Robo had been following Sonic for around ten minutes now, and he knew he was getting closer. As he neared the cliff, he rose into the air and flew over it.
He was moving slightly over Mach 2 at the time. He was conserving most of his energy for his new weapons. Robo flew a little further, but then he stopped. His audio sensors detected a noise. It was Sonic. He instantly poured on the speed. When he got within visual range, he stopped.
He noticed that Sonic was already in a battle. He wanted to win fair and square, not by ganging up on his foe. So he waited as Sonic's battle raged on.
Sonic quickly jumped and bounced off of one of the onrushing robots. Then he turned around and spindashed into one of them, and jumped back. He did so just in time, for it was then that the robot exploded sending shrapnel in every direction.
Two of the six robots had razor sharp fragments of metal sticking into them. Sonic ran to the side of one, and kicked him into the other. They slammed together causing a massive explosion.
"Three down, four to go!" Sonic exclaimed.
Then three of the robots surrounded him. The other floated above him, ready to strike. It was then that the three robots started walking closer. Once they were within five feet of Sonic, two started floating into the air.
One stopped at about four feet in the air while the other stopped at nine. Then the one on the ground charged at Sonic. He flipped in the air to dodge. It was then that the next charged at him. He planted his hands on the oncoming robot's head and pushed himself upward.
Then the third robot charged at him. He turned side ways so that the third robots charge would miss him. He dodged perfectly, but to his surprise, the fourth charging straight down toward him.
He quickly preformed an aerial twist in order to dodge the robot's attack. It worked, the fourth robot slammed down into the other robots, crushing them.
"Finally! I can eat my chilidog!" Sonic screamed as he walked over and took a few bites of his snack.
Then, he heard a noise. He quickly finished his chilidog and looked to see what it was. He looked down the side of the hill in horror. His greatest enemy he had ever faced was standing right at the base of the hill.
"There's no way you're still alive! I saw you sink to the bottom of the ocean!"
"There's no way for you to get rid of me Sonic."
"I seriously doubt that! Once I rebuild the Time Stone, I'll erase you from existence!"
Then the aura that had been surrounding Robo Sonic started to glow brighter. He pointed his right toward Sonic. His entire aura rushed to his hand. Then a circular plate of armor on his palm slid open.
Sonic saw this and stepped back. Then a large blue beam shot out of Robo's hand. Sonic leaped to the side, but not far enough.
The immense explosion caused by the laser launched Sonic fifty feet to the side. All that was left of the hill Sonic had been standing on was a large crater.
Wow! Simply, Wow. I never knew exactly how strong that laser was going to be, but I never imagined it would be that powerful. It seems Robo gets stronger every time I fight him. Maybe he is right. Maybe he is invincible.
When Sonic landed, Robo dashed toward him. Right before Sonic managed to stand up, Robo lifted him in the air by his neck. Then Robo's aura recharged and rushed through Robo's hands and into Sonic.
Sonic couldn't take it. It was like having massive amounts of electricity shot into him. Sonic was losing consciousness. He had to do something or else he'd die. So he tucked his legs and spun as hard as he could.
It didn't work, so he spun harder. He forced himself to perform a spindash. His spindash was so strong, it caused him to slam into Robo Sonic. Robo let go and stumbled backward. Sonic hit the ground and started running.
He forced himself to keep running, even though the pain was unbearable. He forced himself over and down hills and across rickety bridges. He dodged all attacks from the many types of robots. He forced to his limits and past them. He ran until he reached his absolute physical limit, then he collapsed.
"I need to get the time shard. I have to."
"You'll never make it that far. In fact I'm going to kill you now," Robo Sonic said as he walked toward Sonic.
Sonic scrambled to his feet, and then tried to run. He stumbled on his first step and then was grabbed by Robo Sonic. Then Robo slowly lifted Sonic up by his wrists. Once he reached twenty feet, he threw him. Sonic was sent spiraling straight to the ground where he landed on a rock.
Robo aimed both of his hands at Sonic, his aura shifted to them. It kept getting bigger and bigger, and then he fired.
This is the end, no more me. The world's been sent spinning into chaos and there's nothing I can do. Wait! Maybe I can use the power of the shards. It may damage the time stream, but without me it's doomed anyway. So, time shards, lend me your strength!
Right before Robo's blast hit Sonic, Sonic's time shard cluster flashed and time stopped. Sonic got up and looked at the beam that was about to hit him.
It had stopped around two inches from Sonic's head. He slowly got up and started walking toward the next shard. Even with the huge cluster he had, the time stream was falling apart. Using the cluster's power was also weakening the time stream.
Once Sonic got out of Robo's visual range, he stopped using his cluster of shards. That was when he saw the next shard; it was only three-hundred feet away. So he took a quick bite out of one of his chili dogs and jogged toward it; his injuries prevented him from going at full speed.
When he got within two-hundred feet of it, something weird happened. Suddenly, a dragon popped out of the ground.
Then strange things started to appear everywhere. That's when Sonic said, "Looks like my usage of the time cluster sent me back to square one for the time being. I'll have to be careful if I want to get to the shard in one piece."
Meanwhile, Robo Sonic's computer processor was tied in a loop. Finally, he said, "I saw him. He was right there. I saw him. I shot at him, and then he disappeared. Before my laser could vaporize him like it should've, he was gone. How? How could he move so fast? My sensors can detect things moving at up to mach ten. This has proven that he is a very resourceful creature. I will have to remember to rip his lungs out immediately. I shouldn't waste time toying with him."
Elsewhere, Sonic ducked to dodge an oncoming train that had appeared out of nowhere. Then he jumped avoid ten bulls that were charging at him. When suddenly, an arrow flew out of a rock and pierced into his side. He yelped in pain, then dodged an onrushing car.
I wonder if using my shards was a good idea after all. I think this might be worse than being vaporized by a laser… Or not. Anyway, I have to get that shard. If I don't, everyone's doomed.
Robo Sonic floated up fifty more feet and then looked around. He turned on his ultra sensitive visual detectors and scanned the area for Sonic. It took five minutes for him to find Sonic in the jumbled up mess around the Time Stone shard.
Sonic was only twenty meters away from the time shard when he was spotted. He was moving very slowly due to his injuries. Robo took off after him, thinking he would be an easy catch, but he forgot one thing. He forgot he was dealing with, Sonic the Hedgehog.
Meanwhile, Sonic was dodging all of the weird things that kept flying toward him. All the while, slowly approaching the time shard.
"I'm almost there. Just a little more and it'll be over," Sonic said as he dodged a cluster of flying bowling balls.
Sonic was starting to get tired of this. He curled into a ball and spindashed to the shard. Despite the pain, he got up and reached for the shard. Before he could grab it, something rammed into his side, Robo Sonic. Sonic was sent flying, but quickly jumped to his feet.
He grabbed a seven-inch long three-inch wide rock and said, "You may think you're an indestructible robot. But in all actuality, you have a very big weakness," Sonic stated.
"And what might that be?" Robo inquired.
"The turbine on the front of your body that takes in air for your engine,"
"How exactly is that a weakness?"
"This is how!" Sonic yelled as he rammed the rock into Robo's turbine.
The rock jammed the turbine, causing a chain of small explosions to erupt inside Robo Sonic. Sonic saw this and grabbed the shard. He spared a glance back at Robo and then took off.
One mile later, Sonic pressed a button on his watch and said, "Tails. Tell me where the next shard is. I need to keep moving. Robo Sonic's been chasing me, I temporarily stopped him. I want to get as much of a lead on him as I can so please send it to me now."
"Yikes. I understand. The next shard is ten miles north of your current position."
"Thanks Tails."
"No problem."
Sonic pressed a button on his watch, then spindashed toward the next shard.
Meanwhile, Robo Sonic was trying to remove the rock from his engine. He realized he would have to rip Sonic's lungs out on his first move if he had any hope of beating him.
He finally got it out by turning his engine on maximum power. The turbine spun so fast that it tore the rock to pieces. Then Robo made some minor repairs on his engine and took off.
Elsewhere, Sonic was attaching his new time shard to his cluster while he ran toward the next one. It took him twenty seconds to find the place where it fit, but once he did, he stowed his cluster in his bag and accelerated.
He was determined to keep Robo behind him. He knew he wasn't going to be so lucky in his next fight with Robo.
Finally, I can see the next shard. It won't be long at all until it's safely stored with my others. Sonic thought.
Once he got within one-hundred and fifty yards of the shard, he noticed that all the ground around it had been transformed into a lake of lava. The Lake of Lava had a seventy-five yard diameter and had twenty-five large platforms floating over it.
Alright. Now all I have to do is jump from platform to platform until I get to the shard. Then I'll have six shards.
Meanwhile, Robo Sonic was closing in on Sonic's position. It wouldn't be long until he had Sonic in his grasp.
There he is. He doesn't even know I'm here. He'll be quite surprised when I fly down and rip his lungs out. Time to go.
Sonic jumped to the first platform, then to the second. When he jumped for the next, a fireball shot out of the lava and hit his feet. His momentum carried him all the way to the next platform where he sat down and blew on his feet.
"Ouch! I need to be careful not hit those fireballs. They sure pack a punch!"
Then he jumped toward the next platform and dodged the fireball that shot at him. Right before he could land, something tackled him from behind, sending him to the edge of the platform.
When he turned around and looked up, he saw his attacker. It was Robo Sonic once again. He was standing three-feet in front of him, tapping his foot in impatience.
"What do you want? I thought you'd try to hurt me while I was down."
"You are a worthy opponent. I want to kill you in a fair fight. We move from platform to platform, trying to kill one another. The last Sonic standing will be the winner." Robo answered.
"So I guess you're saying that the world's not big enough for the both of us."
Robo nodded in agreement.
"Well then, let's finish this!
Sonic ran and kicked toward Robo Sonic. Robo dodged and reached for Sonic's lungs. Sonic dodged and swept his leg along the ground, tripping Robo. Then he jumped and spindashed down toward Robo.
Robo scooted to the side and grabbed Sonic when he hit the ground. He sent his aura energy through Sonic, temporarily stunning him. Then he stood up and tried to stomp on Sonic's head. Before Robo's foot hit the ground, Sonic rolled to the side jumped to a different platform.
When Robo Sonic's foot actually did hit the ground, it caused the platform he was standing on to break. Robo quickly spotted Sonic and flew off the platform before it fell. He grabbed Sonic before he could move and slashed at Sonic's chest with his claws.
Sonic jerked back and looked at his chest. It had five deep scratch marks on it. He tucked into a ball and spindashed into Robo Sonic. Robo scooted to the side and grabbed Sonic in mid air.
No! Robo's too good. How can I fight him. No matter what I do, he always comes back. He seems invincible.
Robo Sonic slammed Sonic against the ground a few times then threw him to a far away platform.
Sonic jumped to his feet and looked around, he saw nothing. When he jumped to the next platform, Robo flew down from above and slammed Sonic to the ground.
Then Robo's aura gathered around his hands and started floating up. He released all the built up energy in a blast. Sonic looked up and jumped off the platform just in time to dodge the blast.
Once Sonic landed on the other platform, Robo flew down and punched him. While Sonic was still flying from the force of the punch, Robo flew behind him and kicked him.
Sonic was sent flipping through the air before he hit a platform and slid to a halt. He quickly stood up and surveyed the area for Robo Sonic. After a few seconds, he spotted him high in the sky. All of his energy had gathered to his hands.
Then, Robo fired a volley of energy orbs down to the ground. Sonic jumped from platform to platform dodging all the blasts. Each orb caused the platform it hit to explode, effectively reducing the area Sonic had to maneuver.
"Yikes! You seem to get more and more powerful every time I fight you. It's starting to get creepy," Sonic said as he jumped to another platform.
Every time Robo fired a blast, his aura weakened. Once it disappeared, Robo flew down to let it recharge.
This is my chance. Sonic thought as he started running toward the platform Robo was on.
When Sonic got there, Robo stood straight up and stared at him. His look practically said 'come and get me'.
When Sonic started to run forward, he noticed that Robo's body weight shifted. Therefore, Sonic tucked into a ball and put all of his force into a spindash aimed for where Robo's body was moving.
The spindash slammed straight into the unsuspecting Robo Sonic, sending him toward the lava. Right before he hit the lava, his aura glowed brighter than ever and formed to his body.
A second later, all that was left of him was a slightly brighter portion of lava. Sonic looked down and said, "That's what you get… Imposter."
Then he grabbed the time shard and jumped away from the lake of lava. He landed on a rock and said, "Tails. Whenever you locate the next shard, tell me. I need to take a nap. I just destroyed my arch enemy and I'm tired."
"Will do Sonic."
"Thanks Tails. I'm taking a nap."
Then Sonic laid his head against the rock and fell asleep.
