SapphireLibra3: I told you that most of this chapter would be mostly fighting, so here it is. READ!!!

Chapter 3

The fight began almost instantly, Sonic an Tails verses a good twenty Crab-Bots. The two of them made a really good team. Sonic and Tails broke off into two different directions breaking the group up into an even ten bots each.

Sonic of course being so athletic, wasted no time flipping over Crab-Bots, punching and kicking the robots with techniques that were a mix of martial arts and break dancing. Tails on the other hand wasn't as flexible as his partner, but he was still pretty good. He fought the robots with basic kick boxing, and shooting with his laser. The fight ended almost too quickly for the two.

"Gee Robotnik, you really aren't at the top of your game today, are you?" Sonic asked.

Robotnik just smiled. "Impressive you two, I expect no less from you two," another button came up to him. "Let's see you handle this one." He pushed the button and a small hatch opened at the bottom of the platform he was standing on, causing a blue liquid to fall out onto the beach in front of them. "Now Chaos, arise and show these two your power!"

"Chaos?" Sonic and Tails both asked in unison. Soon the liquid began to take form in front of them. "Sonic, is that the monster from last night?" Tails asked.

"I think so, but..." he was staring at the monster sort of confused.

"But what?"

"Something is... different..." The monster, now identified as Chaos, basically looked the same, but it was now a little bigger, and it's right arm was bigger and had what looked like either condensed water of bone inside of it, making it look more muscular. Embedded inside of the claw was what looked like a blue Chaos Emerald.

"Oh, he's the same person, alright. I recently came across a Chaos Emerald so I sort of, fed it to Chaos." Robotnik explained.

"Fed it? You don't mean that he absorbed the Chaos Emerald?!" Tails asked in horror.

"You catch on quick. Now imagine what would happen if he got a hold of all seven."

"Sonic..." Tails said hoping that he caught on too. That Chaos would probably be invincible if he got a hold of all seven.

"I know Tails, we can't let that happen!" Both Sonic and Tails got ready to fight.

"Ho, ho, ho, so you want to challenge him? You had a hard enough time fighting Chaos Zero last night, so what makes you think you'll be able to handle Chaos One now, hm?" Robotnik obviously had a lot of faith in his new partner.

"Simple, he has an edge now, and so do I. Ready Tails?"

"Ready Sonic!"

They both ran toward Chaos who just stood there getting in a fighting stance holding his larger claw forward. When Sonic got there first he tried to fight close quarter like before, but Chaos had really gotten better since last night, because Sonic couldn't break through his defense this time. Chaos then slashed at Sonic knocking him farther back. Tails took the safer approach firing with his laser gun. Without even looking at Tails Chaos extended his larger claw at Tails, who jumped over the claw into the air. From there he began flying around Chaos using his Tails like a helicopter.

Sonic was getting up now and he was fed up. "I've had enough of this!" He held his hand in the air and a blue tornado surrounded him. "Sonic Wind!" he shouted and pointed at Chaos causing the tornado to fly over to Chaos, but Chaos actually slashed at the tornado destroying it. "What?!" Sonic said in shock at the current development. He then shook it off and actually rolled into a ball and was rolling in place. He then flew into Chaos knocking him into the ground.

Tails landed and took that as his chance to strike. He stood up straight and put his hands together in front of him. At the same time he placed his two tails next to him at either side, and bent them so they were pointing at Chaos too. Then three balls of white light began to form, one in his hands, and the other two in front of each of his tails. Chaos got up a little and was staring in shock. Sonic got out of the way, because he knew what to expect.

"Satellite Tri-Laser!" Suddenly three beams of energy shot out toward Chaos, who tried to dodge but got partially grazed by the shot none the less. Tails got down on one knee out of exhaustion. Chaos on the other hand was reduced to a puddle.

"Did we win?" Tails asked as Sonic helped him up.

"Only one way to find out." The two of them slowly approached Chaos. Robotnik just snickered to himself. Once they got close though, a claw extended out at them. "Look out!" Tails shouted immediately. They both flipped back out of the way, but the green Chaos Emerald fell out of Tails' pocket. "No!"

"The Chaos Emerald!" Sonic shouted as Chaos grabbed it pulling it into the puddle with him. "Damn it!"

There was a bright flash, and standing in the puddle's place was a monster that could only be Chaos, but now both arms were bigger and had Chaos Emeralds embedded in them. He now stood sort of hunch backed now, was much bigger, and now had three horns on his head also made of condensed liquid. He was now Chaos Two.

"Sonic, I'm sorry." Tails said a little ashamed.

"It was a dirty trick Tails. Don't worry, it's not your fault."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!" Robotnik laughed. He was really enjoying himself now. "Now I have two Chaos Emeralds! This is almost too easy!

"Two or two hundred, it doesn't matter! When we're done with Chaos, he'll have to change his name to Mud!" Sonic said tauntingly. "Tails!"

Tails nodded and the duo ran toward Chaos and kicked him. This time though, the attacks bounced off him like his body was made of rubber. Sonic jumped away and did his Sonic wind attack, but Chaos just stood there. Tails was firing at Chaos with his laser gun, but the attacks didn't even faze Chaos. Chaos then literally punched Tails back away from him.

"Tails!" Sonic called out before rolling into a ball and tackling Chaos, but this time it was Sonic who flew back as he bounced off Chaos landing next to Tails.

"This is bad." Tails said pointing out the obvious.

"Any ideas?" Sonic asked Tails hopefully.

"At the moment, none."

"Don't you two see?" Robotnik said to them. "There's nothing you boys can do. You can't beat Chaos with only two Chaos Emeralds so what makes you think you'll stand a chance against him with all seven?"

"You won't get away with this Robotnik!" Sonic said as he got up.

"I already have. Come Chaos, let's go find you the other five Emeralds now!" He then flew over Chaos, who turned back into a puddle, and then sucked him up into the platform again. "You lost this one Rebels." He then flew off, and he was gone.

"Damn it!" Sonic said angrily.

"This is really bad. He probably has robots everywhere searching for Chaos Emeralds."

"You're right. Oh no!" Sonic's face had a look of horror now. "Amy! She's in danger!"

"Damn it, you're right!" Tails agreed. "What should we do?"

"You get in touch with Knuckles and see if he can help us. I'm heading back to the base to check if Amy is there."

"Got it." They pounded fists showing their bond. "Call me with the results."

"Right, see ya Tails." and with that he ran off at top speed back to the Rebel Base.

Elsewhere in a forest, a red Chaos Emerald was lying on the ground. Footsteps were heard, and then a pair of metallic feet approached it. It was E-102 Gamma, the second oldest of Robotnik's new E-100 series robots. He picked up the Emerald and was looking at it closely.

"Scanning object." He said in a smooth, deep, computerized voice that was sort of haunting and sounded a little sad in an odd way. "Scan complete, energy levels exceeding one hundred percent." He had to make sure that the jewel was a Chaos Emerald. Out of all six, Gamma was actually the smartest. He specialized in strategy and gathering information, so this job was perfect for him. He opened up a small black box and placed he Chaos Emerald inside with two other jewels just like it, one orange, and one purple. Yes, Gamma had already collected three Chaos Emeralds. He turned around and was getting ready to head back to the base when he saw what looked like a little girl in the forest. She had long light orange hair, blue eyes, and was wearing a sort of odd tribal dress that made her look like she was from an age long ago. She didn't look old at all, in fact, she looked like she may had only been nine or ten years in age. The other strange thing was that she looked like a ghost almost.

She giggled a little as Gamma stared at her. He was trying to scan her, but he couldn't get an accurate reading, almost like she wasn't even there.

"This way. Follow me." She said as she ran off into the forest.

Gamma was also very curious of things he didn't understand, so he followed her for the very reason that he wanted to understand. Eventually he came across a beautiful shrine in the middle of a bright meadow. He turned around and saw that the trees he passed through were replaced by a cave.

"Scanning location. Scan inconclusive. Accessing live radar system." Gamma was doing everything he could to determine where he was. Eventually though... "Unable to track down familiar units. Current location, unknown."

SapphireLibra3: And Gamma is officially screwed. We'll see what happens to him in the next chapter, and I may introduce Amy into the story, but I'm not sure yet. Anyway, for anyone reading this, THANK YOU!!!!! And for those not, I love ya anyway. Until next time, later.
