The Resistance: Chapter 3

Fast Fights

Before we see the two teams fight, let's backtrack a bit…

( watch?v=nX2aHrmVSKc)

Amy repeatedly hit the blue doppelganger with her Piko Piko hammer, intending to knock some sense into him. "Do you KNOW how much that door will cost to fix? 300 RINGS! Do you think I own that kind of money? I want to know just who you are! Why are you impersonating my friends? Why do you have a chaos emerald? WHY DID YOU BREAK DOWN MY DOOR? I WANT ANSWERS!"

The doppelganger kicked Amy off of him, sending her back inside the house. "If you want answers, you'll have to beat them out of me!" He yelled, charging at her with a mallet. He swung his mallet at Amy, but Knuckles grabbed her and jumped out of the way, avoiding the attack. He then carried Amy out the house and set her down.

(Think of it as a cut scene, like after the hidden palace fight in Sonic and Knuckles.)

"Let's not break anything else in your house." Knuckles told her. He could literally see the fire in her eyes.

"These two are going to pay me back every single ring they owe me…" She said.

Before Knuckles could reply, he was hit in the head with a mallet. As he turned around, he saw the blue doppelganger had thrown it at him. He smirked as Knuckles charged at him with a spindash. The blue doppelganger simply jumped out of the way and shot a miniature iceberg out of his mitten. The small iceberg hit Knuckles in his back, temporary freezing him. The blue doppelganger ran up to Knuckles in an attempt to follow up the attack. Sonic grabbed the red chaos emerald and set it down along with the yellow one, and then rushed out to help his friend. Sonic spin jumped off of Knuckles, breaking the ice block he was froze in, and jumped off the blue doppelganger, knocking him back slightly. The blue doppelganger then tried to charge at Sonic, but Amy had hit him in the back of the head with her hammer, causing him to stumble a bit.

(All you sonic fans know that the slightest ice attack on a character will freeze them solid for a good three seconds)

Meanwhile Tails, Nana, and Popo were facing the pink doppelganger. Nana and Popo charged at the pink doppelganger, but missed as the doppelganger jumped out of the way. The pink doppelganger then threw her mallet at the two, knocking them down. Tails then spin jumped at the doppelganger, but missed as she jumped again. She then used her mallet to knock Tails down. Tails fell straight to the ground. The doppelganger then shot a cold icy wind from her mittens. Tails managed to move out of the way in time, but Nana and Popo got caught in the wind. The doppelganger then swiped her mallet, knocking Popo and Nana back. Tails spin jumped off the pink doppelganger, knocking her down, and rushed over to the ice climbers.

"Are you all right?" Tails asked.

Popo stood up, holding his left arm. "I think so…my arm hurts though" He said.

Nana stood up and rushed to him. "Your arm might be broken. Maybe you should stop fighting and rest."

Popo shook his head. "I still have one good arm." He then threw his mallet at the pink doppelganger, who was sneaking up at them, with his left arm. He flinched, but only for a brief moment. "It doesn't hurt that bad. I can still keep going."

"Well ok, but if you get hurt again then I'm making you stop fighting." Nana said.

The two then rushed over to the pink doppelganger, mallets in hand, ready to attack. The pink doppelganger jumped over the attack again, but Tails was flying above her and sent her crashing back down with his tails. A huge cloud of dust surrounded her, making her unable to see. Nana, Popo, and Tails each surrounded the cloud, ready for whichever way she would escape. However when the cloud disappeared, she knocked them all away with her mallet. She charged at the three of them, spinning her mallet around. Tails managed to jump off of her while avoiding the attack, distracting her and causing her to stop. Nana and Popo then raised their mallets over their heads, and then brought them down as fast as they could from behind the pink doppelganger, launching her into the blue doppelganger. This caused them both to fall over. The group quickly surrounded the two, making sure they had no way to escape. The two fake ice climbers stood up, realizing they were surrounded.

"Well it looks like we've been beaten…" The blue one said tiredly.

"We underestimated them…" The pink one said in between breaths.

Sonic noticed that the blue one had the red chaos emerald behind his back. The pink one had the yellow chaos emerald behind her back. As soon as Sonic noticed, the doppelgangers held up the emeralds with a look of triumph on their faces. Sonic and friends jumped back in amazement, and then prepared to swipe the emeralds.

"Well we got what we came here for." The blue one said smirking.

"I guess it's time to go." The pink one said smiling widely. "Although it has been fun."

The two then shot out a cold blizzard from their hands, catching the group by surprise. Sonic managed to avoid the attack by running back. However, everyone else was frozen solid. The two doppelgangers laughed, not noticing Sonic was missing.

(Anyone notice the game referance here?)

"Well we'd love to stay and chat, but we're on a tight schedule." The blue one said, tossing the red chaos emerald up and down. "Emeralds to find, people to squish, you know how it is."

As soon as the blue doppelganger caught the red emerald, Sonic rushed at the pink doppelganger with a powerful spin rocket. This sent the pink doppelganger flying high in the sky. It also caused her to drop the yellow chaos emerald. The blue doppelganger jumped back to avoid a kick from Sonic.

"This isn't right! You're supposed to stay frozen!" He yelled.

Sonic wagged his finger at the blue doppelganger in a mocking fashion as he talked. He then ran up to the blue doppelganger and hit him with a powerful drop kick. The blue doppelganger was launched into the sky.

"I'll get you for this slick!" He cried as he went through the sky.

(Very big hint there. Those who figured it out DO NOT SAY IT!)

(Sonic the Fighters from Sonic's moveset for those who don't know or remember. I love smacking Metal Sonic with a rocket kick when he rushes at me. Try it!)

(Stop the music and play this: watch?v=yVtcycCzydY)

Sonic looked at his friends. They were all trapped in a large block of ice. He picked up the yellow chaos emerald and spin jumped off of each of the ice blocks, setting his friends free.

"I'm so lucky to have fur around my body." muttered Tails.

"This is why you should toughen up." Knuckles said, staring at the two doppelgangers in the sky. "That fur won't stay on you forever."

"I can't believe they had a chaos emerald." Amy said.

They all looked into the sky. As the two doppelgangers flew through the sky, a red object could be seen falling from the sky.

"It's the chaos emerald!" Knuckles exclaimed. He then ran off in the direction of the emerald.

"Knuckles! Wait for us!" Tails cried. He then propelled his two tails in the air and flew after Knuckles.

"Come on! The chaos emerald awaits us!" Amy cried, running after them.

Sonic was about to take off, but he then remembered something. He turned around and saw Nana, crouching over an unconscious Popo. Sonic rushed over to them. He then saw Nana crying. He placed a hand on Nana's shoulder and bowed his head in respect.

"You go ahead and get the chaos emerald." Nana said soberly. "What's more important is that you make sure this Dr. Robotnik guy doesn't get his hands on them." She smiled weakly at Sonic. "I'm sure he's just unconscious. He'll awake soon with a little warmth and rest…"

Sonic gave Nana a look of worry. He then patted her on the back a few times before running off. Nana silently picked up Popo, and carried him inside the house. She put him down next to the fireplace and then started a small fire. She sat across from him in silence, letting a soft cry escape every now and then.

(Just thought I'd explain what happened to the ice climbers and why they weren't present at the end of chapter 2. Question is: Did Popo die? Guess you'll have to wait. Now let's go back to where we were.)

Sonic ran throughout the forest of green hill in hopes of catching up with his friends, which wasn't really a problem with his speed. He soon saw each of his friends standing in front of a large group of people. He saw one of them had the green chaos emerald floating around her. Another was holding the red chaos emerald in his hands. Sonic ran up to his friends and looked at the large group of humans. He didn't see other humans very often and wondered why they had a chaos emerald.

"Now we do." Said Amy. Sonic looked at her, wondering what she meant.

The two groups stared at each other.

"Just give us a few moments to figure out who we'll send out in battle." Said a boy in a red hat.

"Fair enough." Knuckles said. The two groups then huddled up to discuss the matter.

Sonic stared at everyone with a disapproving look.

"Well how else do you expect to get the emerald?" Knuckles told him, reading his thoughts.

"It's obvious they won't give them up without a fight." Tails said. "It's not like we've never fought for an emerald before."

"But we just barely got out of a fight!" Amy reminded them. "Are you sure we can hold our ground?"

"How tough can they be?" Knuckles asked with a smirk. "Humans can't do what we can."

"But they can beat us with weapons, like Dr. Robotnik." Tails pointed out.

"And exactly how many times has Robotnik beaten us with his weapons?"

"Well, zero, but-"

"Exactly! So what makes you think they are any better than Robotnik?"

". . ."

"Any other questions on the matter?"

No one responded.

"Good. Now let's get ready to fight."

Sonic walked over to the group of people and showed them the yellow chaos emerald. The same boy with the red hat showed the red chaos emerald. The small girl reluctantly showed the green chaos emeralds. The each placed them in the sand and then walked back to their groups.

"Ok, so who are we facing?" Knuckles asked, a bit irritated.

The small girl who had the chaos emerald floating around her stepped forward. With her were a tall red robot, a blond boy with glasses, and a small brown dog.

"You'll be facing these four." Said the boy in the red hat.

"Pippi," he said, pointing to the small girl. The girl looked annoyed and angry at the same time. She had brown hair that was in pigtails. She wore a purple skirt and black shoes. She didn't seem very happy to Sonic.

"EVE," the boy continued, pointing at the large robot. Eve was a tall, red robot. It had a yellow circle in the middle of its body. It had long legs and long arms; however it had a short neck. Its head looked like a football.

"Jeff," The boy went on, pointing to the blond boy with glasses. Jeff wore a green lab coat and black pants. In his hands was a small gun that looked no bigger than a stun gun.

"And Boney." The boy finished, pointing to the small brown dog. Boney looked no more than a mere puppy. However the dog was growling angrily at the four.

( watch?v=lerdT8MREwc)

"All right then, time to fight!" Knuckles exclaimed, charging at the four.

"Knuckles!" Amy called.

Knuckles charged at the four with a punch. However each of them had jumped out of the way, causing him to miss. He was then hit in the head with a boomerang. He was knocked down, and stayed down when the boomerang came back. When he stood up, he saw Pippi holding the boomerang with a smirk on her face. He smirked back as he stood there, pumping his fist in the air.

"Not gonna attack a girl?" She asked playfully.

"Why don't you come over here and find out?" He told here, still pumping his fist in the air.

Pippi then rushed up to Knuckles with a fist raised in the air. As soon as she was close enough, Knuckles punched her right in the face, knocking her back. Pippi noticed blood was streaming from her cheeks. She whipped it off and stood up, shaking her head. She threw her boomerang again, only this time Knuckles saw it coming. He spin jumped over it and lunged at Pippi. Pippi lunged at him also, with her fist raised high. When the two became inches apart from each other, Knuckles threw a punch at her, but Pippi ducked under it just in time to avoid being hit. She countered his attack with a powerful blow to the stomach. Knuckles was pushed back, but only slightly. He shook off the attack and stared at his opponent.

"How can a small girl be so strong?" He thought to himself. The boomerang then hit him in the back of the head again. Knuckles fell over rubbing his head.

"Never underestimate your opponent." Pippi smirked, grabbing the boomerang. She then charged at Knuckles. But Amy jumped in the way and knocked her back with her hammer. Amy then threw her hammer at Pippi, not giving her time to recover. Pippi took the hammer head on and swiped it away with her boomerang. She then charged at the two animals, throwing her boomerang so that it traveled close to the ground. The boomerang swiped Amy and Knuckles off their feet, giving Pippi the chance to attack. She then jumped in the air to deliver a powerful kick. However Knuckles grabbed her foot and swung her away, right before she collided with his body.

Meanwhile, Tails and EVE were battling it out in the skies. EVE extended her arms to deliver a powerful punch to Tails. Tails flew over the arm and flew his way over to EVE. He punched EVE right in the face, but EVE didn't even flinch. He then grabbed her by the head and tried to lift her up higher in the air, but failed. EVE grabbed him and threw him into the ground. Tails winced in pain as his back hit the ground. EVE then brought her whole body down to land on Tails. However Sonic grabbed Tails with his super speed and managed to get out of the way before EVE landed on his body.

"Thanks Sonic…" Tails was breathing heavily.

Sonic gave Tails a thumbs up and then ran off, avoiding a blast from a gun. Sonic was up against Jeff, and he was firing his gun wildly at the hedgehog. Sonic found it incredibly easy to avoid the blast from the gun as he jogged around the beach avoiding each blast with ease. It was obvious to tell that Jeff was getting aggravated, for his face was a dark red. He then put the gun in his bag and pulled out a heavy bazooka. Sonic rushed up to Jeff to attack, but Jeff had fired the bazooka. Sonic barely managed to avoid the blast, spin jumping over it with little room. Sonic then jumped off of Jeff and then kicked him in the back, knocking Jeff into a nearby tree. Sonic then charged up his spindash attack while Jeff recovered from the impact of the blast. However Sonic felt something sharp dig into his skin. It was Boney, who had bit Sonic. As soon as he did however, Sonic lost focus and charged forward, taking the small brown dog with him. Boney, getting sick quickly from all that spinning around, let go of Sonic's skin and tumbled as he rolled around on the ground.

From the distance, a buzz bomber was recording the scene.

"We shall make our move soon, my creation." Dr. Robotnik spoke to the capsule as he watched the fight on his monitor. "Once you are at full power, you can go have your revenge."

The capsule shook violently as the two watched the fight.

Sonic ran up a nearby tree in order to recover. As he stood on a branch, he examined himself. Boney had bit one of his quills, causing him to lose focus. He gently rubbed the quill. It didn't hurt much, so as long as it wasn't hit, Sonic could still fight. He then felt the tree shaking, almost losing his balance. He looked down to see Boney ramming into the tree, trying to knock Sonic down. Sonic jumped higher up into the tree, just to make the dog madder. The dog barked wildly as the hedgehog lay down in the tree and tapped his fingers along the branch.

Meanwhile, Tails was trying to figure out how to handle EVE. "This robot's stronger than me physically, so I have to find a way to penetrate its defenses." He thought to himself. He was interrupted from his thoughts when EVE threw a punch at him. Tails jumped up and landed on top of the fist. He then got an idea as the fist retracted into EVE's body. Once the fist was attached to EVE's body, Tails stood there with a wide smile. EVE was about to punch him off, but Tails quickly jumped off and used his tails to knock EVE off the ground. EVE fell over, unable to get up. Tails then repeatedly jumped off her body with numerous spin attacks in an attempt to damage her. However EVE didn't show any signs of taking damage, so Tails wasn't sure if he was doing anything at all.

Just then Knuckles landed on top of the robot. He stood up clutching his head.

"How can a little girl make a boomerang so powerful?" He asked with an irritated tone.

"Want to switch Knuckles?" Tails asked. "I can't seem to damage this robot."

"Sure, just be careful around that Pippi girl." He said, jumping off the robot. "She's tougher than she looks."

Tails flew off in the direction of Pippi. When he caught up to her, Amy and Pippi were engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Amy and Pippi were throwing punches and kicks at each other repeatedly. Neither one showed signs of actually getting hurt. Tails decided to watch from the air and wait until he had an opening to attack. However Boney had jumped up and bit one of his Tails. This caused Tails to let out a piercing scream as he and Boney fell to the ground. When Boney let go, Tails grabbed his tail in pain. Boney then charged at Tails with a powerful headbutt. However Tails used his other tail to knock Boney off his feet. He then punched Boney away, and then rubbed his tail. He shrugged off the pain and ran back into battle.

Sonic was still up in the tree, this time avoiding blast from Jeff's multiple weapons. Jeff seemed to have bad aim to Sonic, for he fell asleep in the tree. Jeff had used many weapons in an attempt to knock Sonic down. He used bottle rockets, laser beams, even a multi bottle rocket. But each had missed Sonic and he wasn't even trying to avoid them. Jeff finally got fed up with attacking and kicked the tree. This shook the tree enough to wake Sonic up, but not to knock him down. Sonic then stood up and spin jumped out the tree, landing on Jeff's head. The impact was so strong that Jeff fell over unconscious. Sonic looked over at the unconscious body and stared at it. He kicked it to make sure the boy was unconscious. When the boy didn't react, Sonic ran off in order to help his friends.

Now Knuckles was fighting EVE. He was doing a better job than Tails was. As EVE charged at him with a ramming attack, Knuckles charged at her with a powerful punch. When the two collided, they each tried to push the other back.

"Scanners indicate that you are a formidable opponent…" EVE said as they continued to fight.

"Years of training can do wonders to you." Knuckles replied.

Eventually, the two jumped back, realizing that neither one was going to be able to push the other back. Knuckles ran up to EVE with a headbutt attack. However EVE flew over the attack and countered with a powerful spinning kick. Knuckles was knocked back, almost into the ocean. However Sonic caught him in time. Sonic set Knuckles down and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry about me Sonic, I've faced worse robots than this." He said, shrugging off the pain. EVE then threw a double punch in an attempt to hit the two animals. Sonic and Knuckles both jumped out of the way. Knuckles charged at EVE from the left, while Sonic charged from the right. Both then started to roll across the ground in ball form. Eve then placed both of her legs out and extended them, kicking both Sonic and Knuckles at the same time. The two were sent back as they tumbled across the ground.

Amy, noticing the attack, knocked Boney away with her hammer and rushed over towards the two fighters. "Are you ok?" She asked.

"We're fine." Knuckles said. "Although I can't say the same about Tails."

They all looked over at Tails, who was laid across the ground along with Pippi.

"I don't know how much more of this I can take." Amy said, holding her head.

"We gotta wrap this up quick." Knuckles said.

They both looked at Sonic. Sonic only nodded in response as he dashed out over towards EVE. Boney tried to cut off Sonic's path, but Sonic nearly ran around him. Sonic then ran around Boney and EVE as fast as he could. EVE tried to calculate how fast Sonic was moving while Boney tried to follow Sonic's movement. As Sonic ran around his opponents, they began to become dizzy. Knuckles and Amy became dizzy just by watching him. Sonic was running so fast that he caused a whirlwind to rise up. The whirlwind lifted EVE and Boney up into the air. As soon as Sonic noticed this, he stopped in his tracks. He looked up into the sky, trying to predict where they would land. EVE and Boney came crashing down so fast that Sonic was knocked back by the impact. Dust clouds surrounded everyone. Sonic uses his super speed to create a gust of air to blow the dust away. When the view was clear, it turned out Boney and EVE had fainted.

"We won!" Knuckles exclaimed.

Sonic rushed over to Tails and picked him up. He then walked over to Amy and Knuckles with his head bowed down.

"I believe you owe us some chaos emeralds." Amy said to the humans.

The boy in the red hat picked up the emeralds as another blonde boy walked over to the lifeless bodies. The red hatted boy gave the emeralds to Knuckles. "You guys are pretty good fighters." He said.

"Perhaps you can help us." Said a white haired boy wearing glasses.

"We wish we could, but we have to collect these emeralds as fast as possible." Knuckles said. "We need to keep them out of enemy hands."

"Well we need them to get back home." Said a pink haired girl.

"Maybe we can work something out." Amy said.

Next time: Dr. Robotnik makes his move!
