Well here it is, the final chapter. This is the final disclaimer I shall make. I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog or Megaman Zero. The thing that I do own is the Chaos Form that Copy X takes on. Well enjoy.

Chapter 23

The battle against Seraph had ended. Sonic and Zero now stood in what looked like some kind of pocket dimension. Strange symbols were moving around the walls of the area.

"S-so," Copy X said floating above them in his original form. Zero and Sonic were still in there Super forms. They were prepared for the fight of their lives. This was the battle that would end it all. "Y-you think you can destroy the almighty power of the Chaos Emeralds and the Baby Elf combined? Behold!"

A group a light orbs appeared above Copy X. the light cleared revealing the seven emeralds and the Baby Elf. Zero angled his eyes at seeing this. He looked over to Super Sonic who looked back. Zero gave the golden hedgehog a wink. Sonic slightly tilted his head in confusion and then nodded with understanding. "Now!"

Zero lunged forward and swung his Z-Saber. Copy X easily dodged the attack; this was the sign for Sonic to grab the emeralds. Copy X quickly grabbed Sonic by the leg and threw him away. "R-return the emeralds!" Copy X shouted.

Sonic got off the ground; revealing he didn't have the emearalds on him. "Too bad for you. I already absorbed them."

Copy X scowled at Sonic and back up towards the Baby Elf. "V-very well," said as he began to absorb it. "Then I shall dissect you and take them out like the rodent you are. Y-you see, I have already put some of the energy of the into of the Chaos Emeralds into the B-baby Elf. Now with their powers combined I shall become…"

Copy X was then consumed by a pillar of energy. Sonic and Zero shielded their eyes. Zero clutched his weapon and took a quick glance at Sonic; he looked determined but worried at the same time. Zero began to speak. "You ready for this."

"Oh yeah," Sonic replied. "Let's do this."

The pillar immediately disappeared, revealing a new form of Copy X in a new form. His entire armor was glowing pure white. He had dual busters on each arm. "Behold, I am now in my Chaos Form."

"Chaos Form or not," Sonic took a few steps forward.

"We'll beat you."

Chaos X laughed and hovered to the ground. He stood at a sideways stance with his arm pointed at them. "I-is that so. Then by all means bring it on!"

Sonic started the battle off with a homing attack. Chaos X countered by punching the hedgehog out of the way. While he was distracted Zero came down with his Z-Saber. The evil Reploid caught the blade and threw Zero away. Zero recovered in midair and activeated his boosters. He was pushed through the air and gave another slash at his opponent. Sonic flew around flew around the two as they began to do battle. With every cycle he gathered speed. A small energy tornado began to form around the two. Zero continued slashing at his long time opponent. Sonic then stopped making his cycles around the two, causing the tornado to explode.

Meanwhile…

"C'mon Ciel," Amy rushed. "Hurry."

Ciel typed away at her computer. "I'm trying as hard as I can."

Tails put his hand on Amy's shoulder. "You gotta calm down."

Amy fell silent; she was pissed off and didn't want to hear anything from anyone. She jerked her shoulder away and looked the two tailed fox dead in his eyes. "CALM DOWN?" she shouted. "AND JUST HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO CALM DOWN? DID YOU NOTICE THAT SONIC AND ZERO ARE STILL IN THAT TERRIBLE PLACE."

Amy stopped herself; what was she doing? She has never scene this side of herself before. She then broke down in tears and fell to her knees. Tails kneeled over and embraced the pink hedgehog. He knew that she was scared. He looked at Ciel; she was scared too he knew, but she sure knew how to hide it. Tails looked over to Knuckles who was looking about the room. "What's wrong Knuckles?"

"Did you see Shadow when we came back?"

Meanwhile….

Shadow limped his way through the Neo Arcadia's base; his battle against Harpuia had really taken it out of him. Shadow fell against a wall as he began to lose balance. He decided to a rest and sat on the ground. "Sonic," he said in his mind.

Meanwhile…(Again)

Super Sonic grabbed Chaos X by the neck and began to grip it with all his might. Chaos X acted as if he didn't feel a thing and blasted the golden hedgehog away. Sonic was launched into the air. Copy X shot into the air and clenched his right hand into a fist. Sonic slowly opened his eyes just as he retained perfect vision, Chaos X placed his fist into the other hand and brought it down into Sonic's chest. Sonic shot into the ground leaving a small crater. Small gritted his teeth upon seeing his friend unconscious. He gripped his Z-Saber and leaped into the air. Chaos X lifted an arm into the air; the arm began to glow for a few seconds turning it into a buster with a blade coming out of it. "B-bring it on."

Zero struck with his saber which was blocked by the Buster's blade. The two began to engage in mid air sword combat. Zero came in with an upward slash but Chaos X blocked and countered with a stabbing action. Zero managed to parry the attack and broke off the battle. He then switched his other arm into its Buster form and fired a charge shot. Zero out his saber out and held the attack off. The blast pushed him back through the air. Zero struggled to maintain grip of his weapon. He then lost grip and was hit by the charge shot.

"Zero!" came Sonic's voice as he knocked the blast away.

Zero gave Sonic a nod. Then all of the sudden the area around them began to fade into darkness. "Sonic!"

"W-why won't you die?" came Chaos X's voice. Then out of the darkness an army's worth of still laser beam. Sonic and Zero's eyes widened.

The lasers began to rain upon the two heroes; Zero deflected them with his sword while Sonic smacked them away with his hands. The blasts came nonstop as they continued deflect the attacks. Zero slowly began to move backward against Sonic who tried to do the same. "This sure is fun isn't it?" Sonic asked.

"Oh yeah," Zero replied sarcastically. "Wish I did this everyday."

Then the lasers began to come in at a faster rate. Zero barely managed to keep up as he was struck by the lasers. With each hit he began to move slower. Zero then came to stop and was consumed by a barrage of lasers. Sonic's eyes widened upon seeing this sight. "Zero!"

Sonic continued to block the attacks as he still able to keep up with it. The darkness around the area began to fade as the lasers began to dissipate. Then there was a blinding flash. When the flash cleared, Zero and Sonic sat on the ground exhausted. Chaos X slammed his foot into Zero's face knocking him over. "Zero!"

Super Sonic blasted Chaos X into the air. The fallen Reploid, Zero slowly lifted his Saber. "Sonic."

Sonic put his hand on the saber and looked into his comrades eyes. He then gave Zero a nod and took his weapon. Sonic shot off into the air and began a huge barrage of slashes and stabs. He then finished up and kicked the blue Reploid away. Sonic looked over his shoulder to see Zero hover next to him. Zero took the Z-Saber from his partner. "You ready."

Sonic nodded and the two faced their opponent.

"Don't forget about me," come a calm faint voice. Sonic smiled upon seeing Super Shadow hover down next to the two. "Let's finish this in one final move."

"LIMIT BREAK!" the three shouted at the top of their lungs.

Shadow stuck out his hand, "Chaos Control."

"Light Speed Dash!" Sonic shot around the room; a faint light came bashing into Chaos X. Sonic then slapped Shadow's hand and the two began to rotate around his spin mode. Form a distance, Zero was blasting Chaos X with his Buster Gun. With every shot Zero began to increase in speed. Sonic and Shadow broke off their attacks and shot over to Zero; each holding onto an arm. Sonic, Shadow and the Z-Saber were all charging up.

"Light," Shadow began to say.

"Speed," Sonic continued.

The two shot forward carrying Zero with them. They then let him go, leaving Zero at the propulsion of his Booster Shoes. He could feel himself moving at the speed of light. Zero then reached his destination; in front of Chaos X. Zero broke out with two slashes so fast they were unseen. Chaos X slowly began to fall apart and then exploded.

Meanwhile….

"I did it!" Ciel said with a big smile. "I managed to make a portal, all I have to do is make a lock on Zero and Sonic's location.

Everyone cheered with gleem.

Back to Sonic and Zero…..

Zero fell back into his original armor colors. He looked down at the remains of Chaos X; it was just his Buster arm. "Hey Zero," Sonic said as he ran to see his comrade.

"Hey," Zero attempting to wave at the now blue hedgehog, but he was interrupted by a pain in his side. He fell to his knees, Sonic dashed over and caught him before he hit the ground.

"Don't' push yourself," Sonic said.

"Wait a minute," Zero asked confused. "What happened to Shadow?"

"Don't worry about him. He always does this kind of stuff. Hey what's that?" Sonic pointed at the remaining part of the evil Reploid.

"The key to our way home," Zero slowly reached his arm out; his hand was glowing. "Z-Knuckle!"

A Z shaped sign appeared on his hand and absorbed the power inside the arm, causing it to disappear. Sonic tilted his head in confusion. "What did you just do?"

Sonic helped Zero to his feet. "I now have the ability to open portals. But the thing is, I can only open one and I can't tell you where its going to take us."

"Whatever pal," Sonic said with gleam. "As long as we're not here."

Zero replied with a nod and he swung his saber at the air, ripping a hole in space and time. Sonic slowly carried the injured Zero through the portal, taking them to a beach. It looked like it night time at the beach on account of there was no sun(like the one from KH2). Sonic eased Sonic to the ground and sat down next to him.

Zero began to speak. "You know Sonic," he began while looking out to the dark sea. "I noticed something between you and Amy."

Sonic's heart stopped hearing her name. "What do you mean."

"You two have a mixed up love life."

"Me and her lovers, noway."

"Don't miss your chance Sonic. I remember a century ago, there was this girl named Iris. She was just like Amy; I couldn't get away from her. Then one day…" Zero stopped.

"What happened," Sonic asked wanting to hear more.

"Sigma, an old enemy of mine killed her and her brother who was a good friend of mine. It was only until then that I realized that I had feelings for her. Now there's no way for me to tell her how I feel. I noticed that through out our adventure when we met Amy, you acted worried."

"You think so?"

"I know so," Zero said with a look in his eyes. "Don't make the same mistake I did."

"Well what about you and Ciel?"

"That would never work out; she's a human and I'm nothing close to it. I'm just there to protect her."

Just as Sonic laid back against the dark, cold sand a light appeared before the two. "Zero!" came a young girl's voice.

Sonic's ears twitched upon hearing that voice. "Is that…"

"Sonic," came the sound of Amy and Tails' voices.

"It is," Sonic jumped to his feet and helped Zero up. He steadily, yet quickly made his way into the light. Once the light cleared, Sonic and Zero found themselves amongst their friends. They were all cheering and shouting.

"Sonic!" Amy shouted moving Zero out of the way. " I was so scared don't ever do that to me again. Don't you know I love you?"

Sonic rolled his eyes with a smirk on his face. He hesitated for a moment and then wrapped his arms around the pink hedgehog. "I'm sorry Amy."

Ciel helped Zero to his feet. "You alright?" she asked.

"Yeah," Zero replied. "Just a few minor injuries."

"Oh Zero," she said laying her head into his chest.

Later….

The sun shine brightly over Angel Island where Sonic and Zero first entered Mobius. Everyone who participated in the war was there as well as a few Chao. Ciel finished the repairs on Zero body. "There," she said. "Now that you've been repaired we can make our way home."

Everyone looked at eachother. "How do you plan on getting home?" Sonic aske.

"With this?" Tails said stepping forward. He pulled small glowing cube he handed the cube to Zero. Zero looked at the cube as it sank into his hand. Zero knew what the cube did and as if instinct, he extended his arm forward causing a portal to form. In the portal was an image of the Resistance Base. Everyone else' eyes widened.

"What is that," Knuckles said.

"While Ciel was repairing Zero she was able to retrieve the data from Copy X's inter dimensional transportation. I put the data into that cube and well, here you are."

Sonic took a few steps forward to Zero and stuck out his hand. "Well Zero," he said. "I guess this is…"

"No," Zero interrupted. "Not goodbye, think of it more as a see you later."

Zero grabbed the hedgehog's hand with a smile on his face. Sonic replied with a smile as well and gripped harder. "Yeah…I'll see you later, Megaman Zero."

"Don't forget what I told you about you know who," Zero said softly.

"Who, who?" Amy said.

Sonic and Zero didn't even notice the pink hedgehog standing by them. The two sweat dropped and let each other go. Ciel smiled and then turned to the portal. She turned to Zero and gave him a nod. "Bye everyone," she said one last time before entering the portal. Zero approached the portal and stuck his leg and arm in, he stopped and took a last look at Sonic.

"Remember," he said and then he entered the portal.

Sonic continued waving as the portal disappeared. His heart stopped, he slowly turned around to see that Amy was looking into his eyes. "What were you and Zero talking Zero talking about Sonic?"

Sonic jerked his head away. "Nothing, just guy talk."

"Oh no it wasn't. you were talking about me weren't you? SONIC."

The blue hedgehog took off running with Amy on his tail.

Meanwhile…..

"So this is Reploid data," Eggman said looking at the monitor of his computer. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!"
