Sonic heard someone call his name and he dizzily got to his feet. He realized he was standing on what used to be the seven temples he and Chip had visited. He shook his head again and looked toward the head of the giant golem and gave it a thumbs up.
"Ready when you are!" He shouted. The golem nodded and took off toward Dark Gaia, flying through the air. Sonic almost lost his footing and he grabbed onto a column near him for support. He held on for dear life as the two Gaias, Light and Dark, struggled and fought. Both took equal hits. Suddenly one of Dark Gaia's punches flew straight toward where Sonic was. He flinched and covered his head. The floor shuddered beneath him. However neither the punch nor any debris hit him. Sonic opened his eyes in time to see one of Chip's shields fade away from just around him. He was just about to shout to Chip to start focusing on protecting himself when the two giants caught each other and held tight.
"Sonic... help..." Chip shouted clearly under the strain. Sonic looked around for a clear path understanding.
"Roger that buddy. Time for the big finale!" He shouted seeing his path laid out before him. Sonic took off. It wasn't as easy as he anticipated but he wasn't the world's hero for nothing. As Sonic grinded, dodged, jumped, and ducked all down Chip's 'arm' he suddenly recalled fighting another giant monster unleashed by Eggman. He looked up and saw Dark Gaia's eye and made a beeline straight for it. Dark Gaia seemed aware of his intentions and was trying to stop him in any way possible. Dark Gaia threw the snake-like tentacles and blasts of energy at him, but Sonic broke the sound barrier on a daily basis. These tricks were no match for him.
"Sonic hurry!" Chip shouted. Sonic launched off a ramp and dashed straight for the eye. Moments later he landed back on Chip's arm as the monster roared in pain. Chip flew back and Sonic laughed triumphantly.
"Ha!" Sonic punched the arm above him. "Score 1 for the good guys!"
Chip and Sonic repeated this twice more. But Sonic noticed Chip getting more and more exhausted each time. He began to become concerned for his friend's well-being. This has to end soon. The two giants broke apart and Sonic watched without pity as Dark Gaia slumped forward. Sonic could tell Chip was reaching his limit but they both tensed as Dark Gaia lifted his head and roared. He shot out a beam of energy toward the world above.
"Sonic!" Chip sounded panicked. "He's drawing in negative energy from the people above!"
They watched in disgust as Dark Gaia sprouted extra limbs, eyes, and mutated in front of them growing larger from the power above. Sonic could feel Chip's exhaustion and felt anger toward the giant monster in front of him. He thought of his friends above, Tails, Amy, the professor, and all of the people he had met over his journey. He thought of Chip beside him. They were all counting on him. Sonic glared at the monster that had caused him so much grief over the past few days. But what gave him the motivation he really needed was how this monster had hurt all of his friends.
Sonic felt the energy of the Chaos Emeralds in Chip's giant form surge with his increased emotions and he called them toward him. The emeralds flew toward him.
"Let's do this." He said and transformed into Super Sonic. He smirked as the pure chaos energy flowed through him unlike Dark Gaia's energy that had been consuming him. "Leave this to me Chip." He said winking toward the head of the giant, and flew off to meet his foe.
It had been one of the most brutal battles he's ever faced. Even with the power of the Chaos Emeralds and the power he knew Chip was feeding him, Sonic found himself pushing to the limit. He focused on the eyes again, targeting them one by one. It was long and exhausting. But before long Sonic found himself faced with the last, ugliest he might had, eye. Sonic charged all of his energy into his last attack and tore straight through the eye and out the other side.
Sonic and Chip watched with exhausted glee as Dark Gaia slowly sunk painfully and weakly into the lava beneath them. With the foe defeated, Sonic suddenly felt the heat in the cavern and could barely think he was so drained. He flashed a thumbs up to Chip and felt himself lose his super form. The world went black.
Sonic slowly started to come to his senses. He could barely move and he felt he was laying on stone. He thought he heard Chip talking above him. He suddenly felt a rush of energy and felt himself flying up higher and higher. He opened his eyes and the last he saw of Chip was the continent closing over him.
Suddenly everything was light around him and he fully came to as he realized he was a good distance above the ground. He felt gravity take hold and shouted and he crash landed in the mud. He groaned as he pulled his head out of the mud and rubbed it with an annoyed "Ow!" He looked around him and saw Chip laying in the mud. He reached out to help him, but stopped as Chip faded away leaving behind his ring. Sonic picked it up and slid it around his wrist, silently thanking Chip for everything he had done. He stood up and watched the sun begin to rise over the horizon.
"We've all got to start from somewhere," he said aloud and took off running. Sonic heard a familiar engine behind him and smiled as he saw Tails fly beside him.
"And it's right there for me!" Sonic smiled to himself and sprinted in the direction of home.
Amy nearly killed him with the intensity of her hug when he and Tails walked into Tails' workshop. "You're never going to get used to the whole saving the world danger thing are you Amy?" Sonic teased once he broke free.
"Maybe, maybe not," She said sticking her tongue out. He held up a piece of paper in front of him. "But if you don't start being nice you won't get to see these!"
"Ok, ok fine," Sonic said. He bowed exaggerating. "Your majesty! May I please see your new song lyrics?" She handed them over and crossed her arms nervously.
"They're not really finished, I'm missing the chorus really, which is the most important part..." She trailed off looking for his reaction.
"Amy these rock!" Sonic said reading them over again. "I think I have an idea for the chorus..." Sonic said eyeing his guitar which was waiting for him patiently across the room.
This is my escape
I'm running through this world
And I'm not looking back
'Cause I know I can go
Where no one's ever gone
And I'm not looking back
But how will I know when I get there?
And how will I know when to leave?
We've all got to start from somewhere
And it's right there for me
The possibilities are never ending
[Chorus:]
I see it, I see it
And now it's all within my reach
Endless possibility
I see it, I see it now
It's always been inside of me
And now I feel so free
Endless possibility
[Verse 2:]
And so I'll carry on
My time to shine has come
I feel it
As fast as I can go
Straight to the top I know
You'll see it
(You'll see it)
So please wake me up when I get there?
It feels like I'm lost in a dream
I know in my heart that it's my time
And I already see
The possibilities are never ending
[Chorus]
Drop that smile
'Cause you're beaten again
No this is where
My journey begins
You'll losing speed, you're losing your flow
But inside me is a power you'll never know!
Then let it out, it's inside you!
Better all stand back, 'cause I'm coming through!
[Chorus x2]
(Endless Possibility)
Endless Possibility
(Endless Possibility)
Endless Possibility
