Chapter 19: Shadow of a Boss

Ambience Music is now playing- Confined by As I Lay Dying

I then proceeded to summon up the boss we were going to fight for some experience using some of our abilities. Well, at least mine and Auron's during our other forms. Or Auron's current main Knuckles form, and the Tails form for me.

Rikku kept cowering in the center of the arena, thinking we were going to summon up some lighting to scare the daylights outta her.

From the ground of the arena, 10 feet from where Auron and I stood, the boss emerged form the floor just as I was bringing it up.

"So, you want to try and beat my ultimate creation yet, eh?" Said Eggman form the top of the summoned robot of his, the Egg Dealer. (Yes, that is who was chosen.)

"What in the hell..." Auron said as he raised an eyebrow. "Adam, what is this? Some kind of joke?"

"No, we can use this little idea of mine to get experience using our other techniques to beat fiends and bosses. We can only attack him on the cockpit, or by him attacking himself when we activate the last button on his machine. Rikku, you won't be able to use your knowledge of mahcinery to take it apart either since it's not the same as you think it would be." I said as I turned to the center of the arena, where Rikku was now standing up.

The ED began to run off in the outer ring of the arena, and it came back around towards us, where I tried to simply punch a button to show why we can't just attack directly.

For that, I got hit and knocked back by on of the roboric legs of the machine. "Ouch. That reason enough to not attack directly now Knux... err, Auron?" I said as I tried to fix my mistake.

"Let me try something!" Rikku shouted as she ran after the machine, but it easily out ran her, and she decided to wait until it came back. Button one got hit by the robot itself after it fell on purpose. Rikku tossed a grenade at the robot, but it ran off before it exploded.

I saw Auron run at the thing, and he tried to punch in a button, and he also got hit like I did earlier. Except that Auron then tried again, and was hit yet again.

Button 2 was then hit by the robot. I ran at the machine using my tails as a speed boost and I tried to curl myself into a ball and use a Spin Dash at the last button, and of course I missed completely.

Rikku tried to slash at the legs of the robot as it passed her, but the leg (left front) closest to her knocked her on her back, and then it ran her over with the back leg on its left side. "Stupid thing! Die!" Rikku yelled as she got up and chased it like a maniac.

The 3rd button hit in, and the reels on the bot were all showing some Egg Pawns. "Paw Fever! Prepare to be skewered!" Eggman yelled from his robot and 7 EP's with swords dropped down from the top of the arena. Auron simply punched each one, and then Rikku grabbed the swords from the dead bots and brought them back to the center of the arena.

I kept chase at the Egg Dealer, and I tried to use an aerial Spin Dash again as the robot was facing me as it ran away from me. This time, I hit the middle button. "What are you doing? Stop that!" Guess who said that one. If you leave a review with the correct answer, your votes on my previous 2 questions double to a power of 2 votes in one.

"So, that's what you have to do..." AUron said to himself as he used his own Spin Dash to mash in the leftmost button. Rikku suddenly threw a grenade at the last button, mashing it in, and I caught the (unprimed) grenade, and pulled off the pin and tossed it at the ropbot, cause some minimal damge.

"What? N-n-no don't drop them here!" The robot stopped, tilted over completely and let out a bomb that exploded on the robot. Auron and I almost got caught in the blast radius, but we moved in time.

The Egg Dealer got up and began to run again. Rikku threw a sword at the Egg Dealer, and the sword smashed in some of the armoring on the cockpit, damaging the main console a bit.

I jumped up once more and Spin Dashed the left button, and then after it was hit, I repeated in midair still, hitting the middle button, and Auron jumped up and Spin Dashed the final button. "How much longer?" Auron yelled to me.

"Oh, now you've done it..." Eggman said after the reels were all stopped at Missile Fever, and the missiles all hit the robot.

"We're over halfway since he just said that." I said calmly.

"But since I'm getting bored of this guy, and I'm gonna start another boss fight in a second, I'm gonna take him out right here!" I yelled as I used Transform to turn myself into Shadow (FFVI) and I threw 50 shurikens at the cockpit, and the robot immediately shut down with all the damage done to the main console of the computer in the Egg Dealer.

"Now, for the ending..." I said as I let myself slip into the form of Locke (FFVI also) and I used the twin Atma Weapons I had to strike the robot many more times to make sure it was down.

"What did I even do to you?" Eggman said as he was under the wreckage of his Egg Dealer.

"This was only for the experience to se to our newer techniques, that's all you were here for." I said as I lift up the twin Atmas.

"Wait!" Auron said as he walked over. I let myself slip out of my Transform state, and back to my normal self. "He doesn't need to die like this Adam."

"Why are you helping me Knuckle? I thought you always wanted to kill me?" The doctor asked Auron.

"I'm not Knuckles." Auron said simply as he used a temporary Transform into his real self. But that only lasted for 5 seconds before the ability wore off again.

"Why are you trying to kill me then... Adam?" Eggman asked slowly.

"You don't belong here." I said. "Hell, to tell the truth, I don't belong here either."

"Wha-? Whatdya mean you don't belong here. For that matter why don't I belong here?"

"Machines aren't allowed in this world. It's illegal, but I know that's gonna change soon, but not for another few days." I said. "My world is not this one. I really belong in another one. I'm only here to fulfill a need for going home again. My real home, and not the one I had always thought I was from."

"A need to go home?" Rikku asked as she walked up behind the group. "Where's your home at then Adam?"

"Somewhere not on this planet, that's for damn sure." I said as I walked off. "You two can leave if you want now ya know." I said as I used Transform to return the area to normal, and both Auron and Rikku became full size once more.

I walked off into the distance, and left the now also full size Eggman just lay there, under his broken Egg Dealer. "This is who I am..." I said slowly, and softly, as I looked behind back to the location of the doctor.
