Man this is the longest story I've made so far. And it's also the most popular. I can't believe this story's almost over now. Just about three more chapters left. Well enjoy.

Chapter 19

"Ahahhahaa," Copy X laughed. "My plan is almost complete. We already have the Baby Elf, now my three Guardians, go and bring me the seven Chaos Emeralds from those fools before Zero and the blue pest return.

"Yes Master X," the three minions said. They then leaped away as if they were ninjas.

"Once I have the emeralds I will combine there powers with that of the Baby Elf and I will be invincible!"

(Meanwhile)

Sonic looked at Tails' workshop it looked like a battle had went down. It was a disaster. Zero clutched his Saber ready for anything to happen.

"Sonic," came a weary girl's voice. "Where are you?"

Sonic's ears twitched as he had recognized that voice. It was Amy's, Sonic looked about the house searching for her, but it was no use. He couldn't find her.

"Amy!" Sonic called.

"Sonic it's coming from the basement," Tails said as he and Zero ran outside.

Sonic took one last look at the inside and then he dashed outside with his friends. Once they had reached the outside Sonic threw the basement doors open, revealing Amy. Ciel, Knuckles, Mighty, Espio, Cream and Cheese tied and beat up. Zero quickly slashed the ropes off and helped everyone outside. Sonic's heart felt like his heart was going to jump out of his chest. He was as angry as angry could get.

"What happened," the blue hedgehog shouted.

"It was them," Amy said. She then lay her head in Sonic's chest. "They came for the Chaos Emeralds. We fought at hard as we could but it was no use."

"Zero," Ciel softly moaned. "I'm sorry. I just…"

"Shhh," Zero put his hand over the human girl's mouth. "It's not your fault."

Zero then looked to Sonic. Sonic had a burning red flame in his eyes. He wanted to make them pay. Zero gripped his saber even harder as he too had began to feel the want for revenge.

"Hey," Knuckles said as he rose to his feet, rubbing his head. "Did you guys get the last emerald?"

Sonic then cracked a little smile. "We sure did."

"Good," came someone else's voice. "At least that gives a fighting chance."

Then all of the sudden Shadow the Hedgehog appeared on the roof of Tails' Workshop. Sonic angled his eyes a bit as he couldn't fully trust the black hedgehog. "What're you doing here?" he asked.

"The good doctor sent me here to make a short partnership. I know where Megaman X is I can tell if you agree to help us for a while."

"What's the catch," Zero asked. "Why do you want to help us?"

"It's simple really. Megaman X is already your enemy and since pulled off that little prank with the M.S. 5 and taking the Baby Elf he's become our enemy as well. The doctor and I were able to find out that he's going unleash his army of robots in Station Square in about an hour or so. That should be enough time for us rush in his headquarters, take the emeralds, and take him out once and for all."

"Nice plan but you forgot one thing," Ciel jumped in.

"You didn't mention the Baby Elf. What's gonna happen to it?"

"The doctor doesn't care what you do with the Elf as it is of no interest to him."

"Strange that he'd say something like that," Sonic said angrily.

"Look I don't want to be here just as much as you don't want me here. But all I know is that I want to make that sad excuse of a robot pay for making the doctor look a like fool."

"Fine," Zero quickly said. "We'll do it."

"What?" Ciel said with extreme amazement.

"Are you crazy?"

"Think Ciel, if we do this it might be the key to helping us get back home."

Ciel looked away for a moment to think. She then looked back at her Reploid friend with a smile on her face. "Okay then Zero. You know that I'll never go against your word. Just promise me that you'll come back in one piece."

Zero wrapped his arms around the little human girl. "I promise. Sonic are you ready?"

"Yeah. But first we should make some arrangement. Shadow said that Neo Arcadia's army is going to attack Station Square right? You guys get in touch with some people this has got to be one of the most dangerous missions yet and we're gonna need a lot of help.
