Hey, I updated before a week! Yay! I know I won't have much time next week to update, and I was thinking about this chapter, so I decided to write it. Lucky you, people! All the moves that Blur/Gizoid uses are actual moves from Sonic Battle, by the way. Oh, and Gizoid belongs to Sega (I think I forgot to mention that).

Oh, and thanks to Mystery001…I hope this chapter is longer and action-packed enough for you. X3

The Chaos Burst was unexpected, and the twins had barely any time to get out of the way. The energy blast hit them head-on, knocking them to the ground. Thankfully, due to the fact that they were used to Chaos Magic, the blast did not hurt them as much as it would a regular person.

Yume slowly got up, looking around. The blast had been large, and had even hit part of the ceiling, which had caused part of it to crash to the floor. Nearby was Akumu, looking dazed, and Blur was standing in front of them, unharmed.

"Not bad," he muttered. The voice did not sound like it did a few minutes ago, but more robotic. Yume was unable to dwell on this, for Blur then morphed his arm into a hammer, and began swinging it violently. The white hedgehog rolled out of the way, the hammer missing her by inches. Blur swung again, and then quickly turned his hand into a liquid-like substance, bringing it down on her head.

"Damn it!" She swore, turning to Akumu. "Akumu, where's the Spawn container?" The black bat frantically looked around, for he had accidentally let go of it. To his relief, he saw it safely on the floor a few feet away. However, his relief faded to horror as he realized that the Spawn container was empty. The weapon that could supposedly destroy all the robots had wasted away, not being close enough to a robot to do anything. Akumu swore silently, when Yume and Blur both saw the container.

"So, I suppose your secret weapon wasn't so reliable, now was it?" The blue android said mockingly. Yume just stared at it, unable to believe that their plan was now in ruins.

"Can't mourn over it now," she thought to herself. "Guess we'll just have to find a way without it." Yume then looked up at Blur, who still thought he was winning, and kicked his right side. The blow sounded with a loud thwack, which got Blur's attention.

"Fool," he muttered, "You can't kill me with that. Let me show you a real attack…" Suddenly, a large piece of debris hit the commander in the head. He turned to see Mech, who had been buried under the rubble, ready to throw another piece with his good arm.

"You can't do this," Mech exclaimed. "Sure, Master Zynth said we would eventually take over the organic lifeform's territory, but he never said anything about killing, did he? You…you're taking this too far!" Blur laughed at this, morphing his arm into a cannon. The twins watched, when Yume got an idea.

"Akumu, the Chaos Emerald!" she whispered excitedly to him. "Hand it to me, so I can do some damage to him!"

"But Yume, you haven't learned to control it yet!" Akumu retorted. Nevertheless, Yume grabbed the violet emerald away from him, and held it out in front of her.

"Chaos…Spear!" The hedge-girl yelled loudly, as a purple energy bolt his Blur in the back. The android quickly whipped around, grinning.

"That's a new one," he said. "Let's see how I can do it…Chaos Spear!" Another bolt of Chaos Energy, this time from Blur, emerged, striking the twins.

"He can copy our attacks?" Akumu cried in bewilderment, since neither of the twins knew of the Gizoid's ability, and didn't even fully realize it was fused to Blur. They had heard of Gizoid, sure, but their parents (and all the other adults, for that matter) had always ended the story with its destruction, being sealed inside an emerald shard. So it was no wonder it was a surprise to them.

"You bet I can," Blur replied. "Want to see what else I can do?" Once again, Blur was about to attack, when the black and red form of Zynth thrust at him from behind.

"Causing some trouble, are you Blur?" Zynth asked. "I think it's my turn to attempt calming you down." The android leader muttered something, and then a orb of Chaos Energy floated in his hands.

"Impossible," Akumu muttered to his sister. "I don't remember ever hearing of a robot with the ability to use Chaos Magic, especially not without a Chaos Emerald."

"I think barely anyone can use Chaos Magic without an emerald," Yume replied. "The only person I ever heard of learning how was…" Both twins stared at each other for a minute, before saying at the same time, "Dad."

"Reclaim the Robotic Empire." Shadow repeated Dr. Eggman's words exactly, staring him in the eye. "That is your whole purpose for being here?"

"Of course!" The cyborg replied. "I can hardly believe you all believed I would help you! Why else would I force the twins into promising their parents would not stop me with whatever I do?"

"You promised you wouldn't," Shadow pointed out, "So you were lying."

"In case you forgot, liar is my middle name," Eggman then laughed, as if he had just heard a joke. "Oh right, you did forget, my bad. I suppose the Ultimate Lifeform can never keep his memories straight for long, now can he?"

"Shut up." Shadow pulled out his machine gun, aiming it at the mad doctor's head. "Move, and I will shoot. Explain what you were planning to do."

"It's obvious, isn't it?" Eggman asked, staring at the gun. "I trick the androids into fighting with you and the twins, which kills you three and a load of robots. In the chaos, I kill Zynth, and take over as leader. The robots obey me, and I lead them into world conquest. Simple, no?"

"There's more." The cyborg smirked at the comment.

"Oh yes Shadow, there is more. I also came here to find my roboticizer. You might remember it? I could turn myself into pure flesh-and-blood, as well as any robots I desire, and I can also roboticize any furries like you. In fact, since I have Sonic and all his little friends in the dungeon, I was thinking of starting with them."

"Do you know where this item is?" The blank hedgehog asked. Eggman shook his head.

"If I did, Shadow, you would not be standing here, now would you? I could have you under my control, and there would be nothing you could do to stop me!" Shadow stared at him a moment, as various memories began flowing through his head of the madman, some as a human, and some as the cyborg he was now. Shadow thought of these for a moment, and then pulled the trigger. The machine gun fired bullets into the mad doctor's head (the robotic part, unfortunately), which was definitely not a good feeling. Shadow then turned, and ran off.

"I sense something," he thought. Something familiar. Something like…my soul. Shadow pricked up his ears, and ran towards the source. Behind him, Eggman watched him go, putting a hand on his shot-up head.

"Fool," Eggman muttered, turning around as he said so. "I don't suppose he will be back for a while. Now, if only I could find that roboticizer…" The doctor went back into the office, the sound of footsteps slowly dying away.

There, how's that? Better? I hope so. I might not update next week, so if I don't, I'd like to say…Happy Thanksgiving! (and if you don't celebrate it…uhmm…Happy Whatever Day!) See you all later.
