Flowing Pedals Of Light- Above Who We See

A story that I've been thinking about for the longest time, Sonic x Cosmo. I don't own any of the SEGA characters here and my fan characters will be identified in the story. Rated for sex and violence, along with language. Not a single flame will be accepted, but suggestions are welcomed. If you don't like the couple, don't read the damn story.
Chapter 12: Replanting Affection and Destruction Arisen (Sex Scene Warning)
Beneath the streets of Turg was a network of imprisonment cells. Prisoners of war were kept within these cells to die without food or water. Well, aside from the water that filled the chambers every once in a while. Flaere sat within one of these cells, clutching against the shot wound he got earlier. Suddenly, his cell door opened and on the other side were his loyal soldiers. "Sir! We're here to save you, sir!" said one of the four soldiers. "At ease, soldier...at ease. Let's hurry." said Flaere, promising them all promotions if they survived. Meanwhile, Eggman stood at the edge of a cliff and saw Ark flying by. "There you are...so he wasn't bullshiting after all..." said Eggman as he loaded a cannon with a giant bullet. When he fired, a barrier covered Ark and deflected the bullet, sending back to him and blasting him off the cliff. "GAH!!...I guess it wasn't a good idea to fire at such a stupid spot...can't move at all..." he said, reaching for the cannon. What he grabbed wasn't the cannon, though, it was Flaere's leg as his hands were covered in fire. "Flaere...!? How did you escape...?" Eggman said. "When you lock me up, you forgot one thing. My men never leave their commanding officer to rot in a cell. And now..." he said, raising his hands. "You wouldn't really do it...!?" Eggman yelled as Flaere's hands were completely engulfed in flmaes. "You are now being demoted by order of the HRG Special Traitor Assessment Unit. Goodbye, sir..." Flaere said as in one fell swoop, his fire engulfed Eggman. His big body disappeared within the flames as they died down and Flaere cracked a smile. "All right, men. We have some work to do." he said as he left the fire site.
Saturday afternoon came as Sonic sped off to Cosmo's house. He remembered that he had to pick her up and get them both over to Tails', so he left for there. He had a big T-shirt and black jeans on, choosing not to cross-dress today. When he made it to Cosmo's house, she was already walking out with her normal attire on. "He's here, mother! We're off!" she said as he came to a stop. "All right then. Have a good time, you two!" Hertia said. "Thank you, ma'am! We will!" Sonic said, lifting Cosmo and dashing off to the train station. After the five second train ride, they arrived at the Mystic Ruins and up to Tails' Workshop. He walked out and opened the garage. "Hey, guys. I gotta hurry 'cause my mom will be back soon and I got something else to do. Hop in!" he said. Sonic placed her into the second seat and he hopped on the wing. "Let's get going, Tails!" Sonic said, giving him the thumbs up. Tails started the plane and they were off into the distance.
Turg was up in arms about the Supreme General's death, though after the initial shock, no one seemed to care anymore. Flaere got medical attention and sat down, looking over some papers. "Ahh, here we go. Hmm...this weapon should be effective if we can't stop this Grand Calamity from coming..." he said, looking at what seemed like a large cannon of fearsome looking power. "Sir, we've recieved word of the Ark's new course." "What is it?" "Due south, towards the ocean." "The ocean? What could it be...?" Flaere said, dashing to the Observation Tower. The Ark floated above a particular point in the water as a symbol appeared underneath the ship. From the water arose another giant creature. "What is that, sir!?" asked a soldier. "It...it looks like...a giant tortoise..." said Flaere. The beast was indeed a big tortiose with two tails, each with a spiky ball at the end. It's body was completely covered with large thorns and on it's shell were a pair of giant saws. It's head had a hook-like beak with yellow eyes and a long horn on the head. This was known as Trotzen, the Geosynthesis beast of the ancient sea. "The Ark must be trying to awaken all the ancient beasts so that they all can enter Sonic's body at once. What do we do?" Flaere said. The sea beast went back under the water and the Ark continued flying off. "How anticlimatic..." said Flaere, upset at how lazily the beast sunk under the water.
Meanwhile, Tails spotted the area that Cosmo described. "Wow! That's so close by! Okay, guys, I'm getting close!" he said, landing the plane shortly afterwards. "Wow. I'm amazed no one's done any construction here." Sonic said, enjoying the area. "This place is protected, so that won't be happening." Cosmo said. "Well, I guess I'll see you guys on Wednesday?" Tails asked, hopping back on the plane. "Yeah, see you then, Tails!" Sonic said, waving him off with Cosmo. "This is good for him, being out here will help him relax. Since he's been so depressed lately..." she thought to herself. Sonic reached his hand out to her, snapping her out of thought. "Let's take a look around before we head to the hot springs, Cosmo!" he said enthusiastically. She held his hand as they walked around the beautiful woods, admiring the shining greenery as they walked. They stopped to rest in a large field of tall grass and wildflowers. "This is a very wonderful place, Cosmo. I'm glad we came here together." he said, smiling at her. "Hee hee, that's at least the first time I've seen you smile in a long while." she said, returning the smile with her own. "Really?" "Well...we haven't done a lot of things together and you have been depressed over the last month or so..." "Oh, that..." "Any particular reason why you were so down...?" "Umm...well..." Just as he was about to speak, the sun began going down. "Oh, never mind. You can tell me when we get to the hot spring. Let's go!" she said, grabbing his hand and dragging him along. "Oh...okay! Damn...I should've told her..." he said as they ran through the forest.
Knuckles was working up some magic himself. He'd found out from a friend where Rouge lived and knocked on the door. "Hello? Knuckles, what are you doing here? How did you find out where I lived?" she asked, wearing her normal attire. "Well, I asked a friend who knew. You mind?" he asked with a smile, wearing a blue jersey with a fist on it and red jeans. "You mean you're not mad about the...?" she said, pointing to his cheek. "Oh that?! Naw, naw! I'm over that, it's okay! Really!" he said, laughing it off yet remembering the pain when she did kick him. "Well, would you like to come in?" she asked. "Well, actually I wanted to give you these and then I'd go." he said, producing a bouquet of flowers to her. "Wow, they're beautiful, Knuckles!" she said. "Yeah...well, see you around." he said. "Oh, you are smooth, Knuckles...very, very smooth..." he told himself until Rouge appeared before him. "Thought you were pretty smooth, huh?" she said, kissing him passionately. Behind Rouge's back, Knuckles did the "Yes!" thing, raising his fist into the air.
Shadow looked outside the window of the ARK, the stars shining outside. "Shadow, what do you want to do?" Maria asked, placing a hand on his shoulder. Yes, people, Maria is alive and kicking in this Fanfic. "Not too sure. I've nothing to do down there." said Shadow, who continued to look down there. "So, how is school for you?" "Okay, aside from dealing with Sonic's cross-dressing and other shit." "Cross-dressing?" "Yeah, he wears skirts and boots...very weird..." "Wow. Anyway, Grandfather has created a new entertainment system for us." "That sounds like fun." he said, walking alongside her. He looked to the side and saw a very bad looking painting. "Geez, whoever was responsible for that...?" he stopped and saw the signature as Maria, closing his mouth right quick. "What was that, Shadow?" she asked. He shook his head quickly and continued walking. "Looks like I need to give her some pointers in art..." he thought to himself.
The sun had set in the Sacred Forested Area and the starry sky above guided Sonic and Cosmo to the hot springs. Well, that and the misty trail of steam coming from deep within the woods. They made it there in short order and saw the clean steamy water and smooth rectangular rocks. "Wow...simply amazing! These rocks are so soft!" Sonic said, checking out the scenary. "Yes, it's a perfect place to relax this weekend. Shall we?" she said, walking over to Sonic. "Sure thing. I guess we could put our clothes over there." Sonic motioned to two rocks with large carved-out space on them. "Wow, talk about convenient." Cosmo said, placing her clothes in the rock next to the one Sonic used. They both got in the spring, enjoying the feel of the heated water. "This is so awesome! I can feel myself being opened up!" Sonic said. "Really? So do I. The heat really works wonders for the skin." Cosmo said. "Like you needed. You're beautiful no matter what, Cosmo." "Thank you for that. Now, as we were saying before..." "Oh yeah...well, I guess I was just overly concerned that you wouldn't be safe around me, so..." "What would give you that assumption?" "Recently, I've had these relapses of uncontrollable transformation. It usually happens when I get mad and I have been controlling it recently but..." "But...?" "I guess I sort of doubted myself...I was scared that I could lose it and just hurt you guys...I wouldn't be able to handle that..." "Is that why you haven't really been with me for the past month?" "Yeah, that was for two reasons, though. The first was my worry of hurting you. I love you to death, Cosmo. You're like a little sister to me, someone I love dearly, someone I never want to see get hurt, someone that I would do anything to make happy. The second was just that so many things were happening, people hounding me for the Omega Force Gem, that crap at school, just has been utter hell for me..." "I know what you mean...I was just so worried about you because I love you too, Sonic. You're like a big brother to me, someone I'd do anything for when you're down, someone who I know will be there for me, someone who I'd love to make happy. It pains me to see you suffer, big brother." "Same her, little sis...heh, that's so weird." "What?" "We really aren't related in any way, shape, or form yet...hearing you call me that and me calling you that...it seems okay, because we have a similar connection as siblings have." "So you wouldn't mind me calling you that?" "No, except around your mother. Hahahaa!" "Hahahahahaha, you know just how to brighten the mood."
Meanwhile, Knuckles was talking with Rouge, getting to know her better. "Wow, who would've that you had such good interests, Knuckles?" "Well, you know me now? How about you?" She went on for a few minutes about herself, nearly lulling Knuckles to sleep. "...And that's about it. Did I bore you?" "No, not at all! So, do you want to do anything?" he asked, laying on the charm. He wasn't sure what she thought he wanted to do, so he kept his guard up. "Well, that depends..." she said sexily. Now Knuckles for one was smarter than that and was determned to make sure that she was cool with it. "On what?" "On what you mean by something..." "Oh, that something. Well, feel free." he said as she kissed him. It began right there and ended in the same spot. She'd completely taken him on a ride he wouldn't forget and Knuckles couldn't be happier. Until the front door opened up. "Shit..." Knuckles thought under his breath.
After roughly ten minutes, Sonic and Cosmo stepped out of the hot spring, since it would be bad to boil in the bath lke that(good kids don't fry in hot springs). Then they sat and talked a little more, Sonic feeling more comfortable with speaking out his problems and Cosmo glad that he feels comfortable with talking with her. "Whew, I'm really glad I got that off my chest. Must've been hard listening to all that crap." Sonic said. "Well, as long as you feel better, that's the main thing." Cosmo said. Sonic simply admired her kindness and looked into the sky, letting the heavens watch him. He felt her body against his back and snapped to attention. "Cosmo..." he said, blushing slightly as the feeling of her breasts set in. "Do you feel like doing it with me out here?" she asked innocently. Now they hadn't done anything like that for a long time, so that made Sonic a little nervous about the idea. "Umm...well...I..." he stuttered as he tried to think of an answer. "It's been a long while since we did something, Cosmo. I mean, I don't know..." "Please do it with me. Please? No?" she asked, rubbing her body against his back. "Umm...I mean, I'm not saying that I don't want to, but..." "You mean you will?" she got up and stood before him, a happy expression on her blushing face. "Umm...well, I'm not saying that I want to either, but...well..." Sonic had no idea what he wanted to do. Between seeing Cosmo's bare body for the first time in a month and the thought of doing this to her was too much for mere thought. Both of their bodies underwent some physical changes that they both noticed, hence both their reactions to seeing each other in that manner. Cosmo looked down to Sonic's lower region and spotted the horn. "Wow, it's so big." she said. "I guess so." Sonic replied, rather embarrassed. "Oh, I know what to do here." she said confidently. "You don't mean...!?"
Tails was looking over the horizon, looking at the stars with a smile on his face. Suddenly, Shadow walked up from behind him. "Hey, what are you doing here?" Shadow asked the fox. "Just thinking about some things..." Tails said. "Things like...?" "I guess about the recent days dealing with Sonic..." "You mean the beast thing and the HRG?" "Yeah, kind of has me concerned about his relationship..." "You mean with Cosmo? What are you concerned about?" "Well, since middle school, I've known Sonic to be relatively uncommunicative with the fairer sex, as you can understand. We both agreed that one day, even we would fall victim to the charms of girls. That actually happened this year when he and Cosmo hooked up. I'm just worried, seeing as he's not as energetic around us or her as normal, that their relationship could be on shaky ground." "Tails...you had feelings for her as well, didn't you?" "Heh, I wondered if anyone actually noticed..." "Why didn't you take the chance? If you did, you might've had her in the bed and that would be you out there with her..." "Well, after Sonic said that he felt so strongly for her but was afraid to say anything, I wanted him to at least try. When it happened, I was proud of him. I guess in the end, I didn't really want to get into a relationship just yet..." "Tails..." "I know this may sound weird, but do you feel strongly for someone, Shadow?" "There is only one person for me...Maria." "Oh yeah...well, I gotta go. Don't know why I'm saying this, but thanks." "No problem..." They went their separate ways at that point, silent as the wind blew by in typical anime fashion.
Sonic was surprised by Cosmo taking the initiative, bending over and grabbing hold of Sonic's horn. She licked against the tip before fully sucking on it at her hardest. "Cosmo..." Sonic said, surprised by her. She looked into his eyes as she alternated between sucking at his horn and licking the head. The feeling overpowered Sonic as he laid back, watching her lick his horn and squeeze his sack. "This isn't good...she's really good...if she keeps going, then I'll..." he thought as she continued. "Cosmo, No...if you keep this up...I won't be able to...No...augh!" he gasped as the pressure he felt released itself. Cosmo pulled him out with a thin line of Sonic's fluids stretching from her mouth. After rubbing it little, a tiny squirt hit her face and he was done. "Huh? That's it?" she asked, his fluids escaping her mouth. "Well, I guess..." he said, not too sure what to make of what just happened himself. "But you haven't done it with me yet. Please, Big Brother, give it to me. Please?" she asked, laying on him. "Is this really okay? I really don't want to hurt her...but..." he thought. After a second or so, he made a decision. "Okay...okay, Cosmo...I'll do it..." he said, half-defeatedly and half sincerely.
Back to Knuckles, who came face-to-face with Rouge's father, a very angry-looking big bat. "What the!? What the hell is going on here!?" he yelled at the top of his lungs. "Umm...well, you see, she wanted me to do it, so..." Knuckles said honestly. "Who the hell are you and why are you touching my daughter?!" he yelled again, obviously ignoring whatever Knuckles just said. Rouge woke up, which isn't surprising with her father yelling his head off in the same room. "Oh my god, what's with all the racket...? Oh shit..." she said under her breath. "Baby, who the hell is this and what the hell were you doing?!" he yelled once again. "Daddy, this is my classmate, Knuckles. We were just...well..." she couldn't find a very kind way to explain what she did with him. "Well, if it makes you feel any better, I used protection..." Knuckles said, very bad move as it totally made him angrier. Rouge's face, however, calmed him down enough to be rational. "Oh...well...so that's the story of that...very well then. I'll be upstairs if you two need me." he said, walking up the steps. "Man, your dad is scary as all hell..." Knuckles said, calming himself down now. "He was just concerned...but that's the problem. He's overly concerned, like he doesn't think I can make the right choices without him holding my hand..." she said. "He's just doing his job, like a father is supposed to do." "I guess so..." she slept on his body for a while as Knuckles fell asleep himself. From the top of the steps, Rouge's father looked. "My baby's growing up..." he said, walking to his room to look at things...things we wouldn't understand.
Cosmo gasped as she held on to Sonic's head as he sucked on her left breast and pushed his finger into her sweet spot. "Ah! No, I'm making weird squishy noises...I'm so embarrassed...No..." she said as Sonic kept going for her. He stopped sucking her and just pushed his finger into her. "Yes. More.. It's so good, Sonic. It's so good!" she said as he pushed two fingers into her, pulling out and looking at the stuff on his fingers before he kept going. She laid back on her back as he slowly stopped, gasping from the feeling she felt as Sonic stared into her eyes. "Cosmo..." he said as his face came close to hers. "We're this far and I'm a little scared...Big Brother, kiss me while we do it together." she said, their lips touching and tongues connecting. As they kissed, Sonic's horn came within range of Cosmo's sweet spot until he pierced her barrier. "AHH! Ahh..." she cried out, grasping Sonic's body as he thrusts into her at a quick speed. "It hurts but it feels so good! Ahh! Ahh!" she said as his rhythm increased. Her grip on his body got stronger as his movement increased. He stopped in order for them both to catch their breaths. "Are...are you okay...Comso...?" Sonic said, struggling to breath. "Yes...yes, I'm fine...please...continue, Big Brother..." she said, having as hard of a time as Sonic breathing. After they caught their breaths, Sonic went behind her and checked with her before he thrusts into her behind. "AHH!..." she cried out upon impact but settled in as he placed his hands at her hips and pushed into her. "Wonderful...! You're driving me crazy!" she cried out as his speed increased. He held up one of her legs to support her as his rhythm hastened. "Oh my god! Oh my god! It's so good! So good!" she screamed.
Meanwhile, in Grivience, Eggman opened a secret passage, revealing a top secret research lab. In the center was a large glass tube. "Heh, after so much time and data collecting...and some pursuasion from Sonic's "mother", I've finally finished it...the ultimate Metal Sonic incarnation." he said proudly, looking at the mech in the container. It was the Metal model from Sonic Heroes, with two large blades at his side and an Omega symbol in the center of his head. "Metal Sonic Omega...you know what you must do...find and destroy that blue nuisance before the Grand Calamity arrives..." Eggman said as the red eyes of his creation began to glow...
Sonic couldn't go on too much longer as he sat in the center of the spring, with Cosmo pushing into him with her arms around his neck. He kept going faster and faster, Cosmo's moans becoming louder with each thrust. "C...Cosmo...Little...Sis...I can't...AUGH!!" he cried out as his grip on her body tightened. "OH GOD!! SO GOOD!! SONIC!!! AAHHH!!!" she yelled as she reached her climax as well. The burst from her sweet spot and his horn gushed from them and into the spring, creating a sparkling effect in the water as it poured within. Sonic was gasping heavily, his arms never leaving Cosmo's body and Cosmo had saliva running from her mouth as she gasped for air. It was a very intense moment and the climax was satisfying for the both of them. "Oh my god...Cosmo...are you...augh...are you okay?" Sonic asked, now looking into her eyes. "Yes...ahh...I'm fine...that was wondeful...thank you, big brother...Sonic...I love you..." she said, kissing him once more, their connection unsevered as she toppled on top of him out of the spring. They slept under the starry sky, Sonic stroking back her hair as he looked up. "Never again...shall I neglect you, Cosmo...depression...is no excuse for that...I'll be there for you...I promise." he said, falling asleep until he heard what sounded like propeller blades above him. "What the...AHHHH!!" he screamed when he saw the Carrier of the Shadows, Ark directly above him. "A...a beast?! What is it doing here?!" he asked himself before he saw the omega symbol on the hull. "Of course, the gem called him..." he said, slowly placing Cosmo down as he stood firm before the beast. "Here me, O Geosynthesis Beast! Do what you will!" he said, opening himself to Ark, who flew back a few feet and then flew straight at Sonic, sword first. The blade struck through Sonic, but no blood splurted from his body. He felt nothing, no pain or opening of skin. Ark started glowing and then entered the Omega Force Gem, making Sonic transform.
From his back appeared two large propellers, covering his body was a silver armor with small propellers on his feet, his head was covered by a golden dragon helm, on his right arm appeared two boomerangs and on his left arm appeared a large sword to complete the Ark form. "Yet another beast...how many are there, anyway?" he asked himself as the form stopped. He lifted Cosmo and ran back to the spot, holding her as they slept. "Sonic...big brother...be with me always..." she said in her sleep. "Of course, Cosmo...little sister...of course..." he said, holding her as she slept.
The rest of the holiday went smoothly for everyone, so we'll move ahead to the week after, when everyone was returning to school. For the record, Cosmo took Sonic swimming(though he detested it horribly) and came across the ancient sea beast Trotzen. His form was a giant shell with the buzzsaws and spiky plates over his feet and long, extending arms with snapping jaws on them along with the turtle head helm, you know the drill. Regardless, it was a good time and everyone was well rested. That is until that following Monday morning, when a dark sky covered the city. "Hmm...this is weird. Usually, the sky doesn't act like this unless something bad is about to happen..." Sonic said, running to school with Cosmo. "I know what you mean...Look out behind you!" she screamed. Sonic saw the energy sphere coming at him and jumped accordingly, turning to see the source. "You...You're back again..." he said as the figure appeared from the shadows. "Yes, Sonic...I have returned to defeat you!" Metal shouted as he came out of the shadows. "You bastard. We cleaned your ass on the Final Fortress, what the hell makes you think you can beat me now?" "Because I have a beast power! Now die!" he yelled, revealing a giant demonic head on his hand and the same energy. It hit Sonic so fast, he was pushed back into a building. "Grr...stay back Cosmo. Looks like I'll be late for class today..." he said. "Then so will I. I'm not leaving you here by yourself." she said, grabbing hold of him. "Then we gotta take this away from the school grounds..." Sonic said, grabbing her and running into the city. Metal followed by producing large metallic wings and jetting after them.
Sonic ran all the way to the tallest building in the city, roughly the size of the Empire State Building and a half. He ran up the side and dodged many explosive energy blasts as he reached the roof. "Ahh, I see. A quicker route to Heaven. Very smart way to relieve the pain you will experience." Metal said, pulling out his big swords. "Yeah, right, I just didn't want you to cause to much trouble. Now you're dead! Feather Dragon!" Sonic shouted, assuming his form. "Data has been copied. Now you shall feel pain!" Metal said as Sonic closed in with twin swords. Metal then produced a dragon head on his hand and unleashed a blast that hit Sonic hard enough to crash through two floors of the building. "Sonic! Are you all right!?" Cosmo yelled. "AUGH!!!!...I think so...he retained his copy ability...can't use Feather Dragon now...Griffon!" he yelled as he slowly got up. "Griffon Claw!" he yelled as he form was reached and he unleashed the giant claw, smashing Metal into the roof. "Data has been copied. Griffon Twister!" Metal yelled, producing griffon claws on his hands and spinning, trapping Sonic in a twister and slamming him back to the roof of the building, scratches all over his body. "Again...he did it again...I need to hit him as hard as possible before he copies me...Jourmangandre!" he yelled, assuming the form and pulling out two crescent swords. "Crescent Wave!" he yelled, two sonic booms forming a cross and blasting into Metal. "Data copied. Now it's my turn." he said, appearing behind Sonic and cross-slashing his back. "AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!!!" Sonic screamed as the blades made contact. "Sonic! Hang in there! I'll..." Cosmo yelled, rushing towards him. "Stay back! The last thing I want is for him to attack you...please stay over there...Steel Dragon!!" Sonic yelled, assuming the Deathscythe form and striking down Metal, a deep dent appearing in his chest. "Gah...Data copied. Sheering Wind!" he said, assuming the same state and spinning the scythe, firing multiple sonic booms at Sonic, pushing him down two floors of the building they were on. "...gah...Not yet...Pyreo!" he yelled, turning into the fiery lion and unleashing a wave of flames at Metal. Metal jumped at the last second, his legs recieving most of the damage. "Data has been copied. You still don't get it, Sonic? I possess far more power than you!" he yelled, producing a lion head on his hand and unleashing the same flame, covering Sonic's body. "IT BURNS!!..." Sonic yelled as the flames died down. "Oh my god, Sonic...Please survive..." Cosmo thought as she watched the battle. "...Volthawk!..." Sonic yelled, unleashing an electric tornado at Metal, giving him quite aa shocker. "AAARRGGHH...Data...copied...now die!!" Metal said, with a hawk head appearing on his other hand as both heads glowed. "Hellish Tempest!!" Metal said, the flames and the tornado becoming an intense blast. Sonic was blown to a building nearby, crashing through the window and about four walls. "Arggghhh...Eggman's outdone himself this time...too bad I gotta destroy it..." Sonic said, getting up slowly and turning into Unicorn.
He charged straight through Metal, severing his right arm in the process. "You little...Data copied...Holy Strike!" Metal yelled as he produced a blade on his remaining arm and slashed at Sonic, slamming into the floor. "Nexus...you're up..." Sonic yelled as he assumed that form and slashed off Metal's other arm. "Heh...you fool...rebuilding arm units...Data copied." Metal said, new arms coming from his shoulders. He then unleashed the Elemental Assault, slamming pillars of rock, bolts of lightning, spheres of fire and waves of water. Sonic panted wildly, catching a second wind yet still having a hard time standing up. "I've only one more to use since I haven't practiced with Ark or Trotzen...but if he copies this...I've no other option...Epyon!" he yelled, the column of light covering his body and his form was established. He unleashed a large beam of energy, blasting Metal into a far off building. The resulting explosion satisfied Sonic until that same column eminated from the building. "Heh...heh heh...must I say it...naw, you know what happened..." Metal said, in his Epyon state. "It's over now, Sonic. I'll be sure to remember you, however..." he said, walking over Sonic. In one motion, he threw Sonic into the air and as he came back down, he uppercut Sonic straight upwards. "AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!..." Sonic yelled as he soared upwards to the heavens. He disappeared from sight in very short time, a sadistic grin(unseen, of course) appearing on Metal's face. "Heh heh...ahahaahahahaaaahahahahaah!!! I did it! I finally defeated that pest! I even knocked him into the heavens!!" Metal said, mechanical and maniacal laughter coming from him. Cosmo only looked up in the sky, watching Sonic's lifeless body pierce the clouds until she coudn't see him anymore. "...SONIC!!! NOOOOOOO!!" she cried to the sky.
Up in the heavens, Sonic's body floated in the vast light around him. "Sonic...Sonic...awaken, Sonic..." a voice commanded. "...ugh...who...are...you?" Sonic weakly asked, his eyes slowly opening. "It matters not...do you seek the strength...to accomplish what you desire?" the voice asked. "...I think the real question is...after that performance...would you consider me...worthy of your time...let alone your help?" Sonic said, feeling down about the battle. "Your "performance" isn't what mattered...the spirit you had to protect those dear to you...it was that flame that attracted me...but you alone must decide whether you seek to use that flame...with my power..." "...I want to protect Cosmo...I want to protect everyone I care about...I want to...and I shall..." "Then become what you desire to be able to do...and destroy those who seek to break that tranquility...let my Flames of the Heavens turn you into the Burning Hedgehog of Flaring Red Eyes!!" the voice yelled as crimson flames covered Sonic's body. When he opened his eyes, they were as red as fire itself. "Metal..." he said as he descended from the heavens...
