The Resistance: Chapter 5

A Rival Battle of the Ages

( watch?v=FcR81-nhKk0)

Dr. Robotnik held up the blue, light blue and purple chaos emeralds in his hands. He stared at the large group with a devilish grin.

"Relax; I just wanted to have a word with the Chaotix." He said calmly.

"Why should we believe you?" Knuckles asked.

"We know you're always doing something bad!" Ness told him.

"We do?" whispered Duster.

"We do, just follow my lead." Ness whispered back.

"If I wanted to fight, wouldn't I have my robot minions around?" The doctor asked. Sure enough, not a single robot was in sight.

Vector stepped forward. "Then talk. What do you know about Mighty?"

Dr. Robotnik smiled. "First, show me the chaos emerald."

Vector looked at Amy. Reluctantly, she held up the white chaos emerald.

Dr. Robotnik grinned. "Excellent. Now then, if you must know, Mighty was at my secret lair a few days ago. He was apparently chasing some crook that had infiltrated my lab…"

(Flashback)

As Dr. Robotnik stood in front of his capsule, he was working on a small chip. The chip was supposed to make the robot inside the capsule talk and even be able to predict attacks by reading minds. In it was one of his ultimate creations, which he would soon use to destroy Sonic and his friends.

"At the time, I was working on one of my old inventions." Dr. Robotnik said. "Yet I was so focused on it that I didn't notice that my security had been disarmed."

Behind the doctor stood a purple wolf -weasel hybrid. He wore orange shoes, orange gloves, an orange belt, and an orange hat. The orange hat had a black stripe around it. He had big black eyes and a blue-black nose. In one hand was a gun, and in the other was one of Robotnik's devices.

"Drop the device Robotnik." The hybrid said.

The doctor turned around, surprised that someone was there. He studied the hybrid as soon as he turned around. "A wolf-weasel hybrid…and you are?"

"Just call me Fang the Sniper." He said. "Now give me all your money!" He pointed his gun at Dr. Robotnik.

Dr. Robotnik laughed. "I would if I had some for getting past my robots, but I don't have any."

"Cut the lies doctor. We all know you have a secret treasure stash that you use to by robot parts."

The doctor grinned. "Even so, I'm afraid that I can't give you any. Perhaps we can work something out."

Fang took a step forward. "Sorry doc, but I don't work with anyone."

"Fang was a serious fellow." Dr. Robotnik said. "He could have made a good ally. But at that moment…"

Dr. Robotnik's celling was shattered as someone jumped down from it. It was a red armadillo. He wore red shoes with a small white strap. He had a serious look on his face as he stared at Fang.

"Mighty!" Fang cried.

In a swift movement, Mighty swiped the gun from Fang. He then tossed it away so it was out of Fang's reach.

"I've had enough of the games Fang." Mighty glared at Fang. "Give me back what you stole from me."

Fang smirked as he held up a small, silver heart shaped locket. "You don't mean this do you? It's made from silver rings, which are rare to find. I could make a profit off of this. As for the picture…well, she's cute, but won't sell very well. Perhaps I'll burn it if I can't sell it."

"Perhaps I should have done something then, but I didn't want to interfere without knowing what was going on first. So I did what I normally did to intruders when they got past my security."

Dr. Robotnik stood there and watched as Mighty and Fang began fighting. Each animal were punching each other with powerful forces. Dr. Robotnik couldn't even keep his eyes on them, for they moved so fast. Dr. Robotnik pressed one of the buttons around the capsule. As soon as he did, his egg carrier appeared with a laser sticking out of the bottom. It was a small gray laser that seemed like a toy. However when it fired, it shot out a blue beam that had hit Fang and Mighty and teleported the two away.

"Stupid kids…" Dr. Robotnik mumbled as he went back to work.

(End of flashback)

"Where he ended up, I don't know, but it should be around here somewhere." The doctor said.

"So Mighty is still alive after all this time!" Charmy exclaimed.

"So he's been chasing Fang all this time…" Espio said.

"Or so it seems…" Vector said. He then took the chaos emerald from Amy. "A deal's a deal, Robotnik. You can have this emerald."

Everyone stared at Vector with a shocked expression. Even Dr. Robotnik was shocked at Vector's comment.

"Vector are you crazy?" Knuckles yelled. "He'll use them to take over the world!"

"Answer me this doc." Vector said, ignoring Knuckles. "What do you plan on using this one for when you have three?" He winked at Espio.

"Well once I have them all, I shall build a new world." He said with a devilish grin. "Now give me the emerald."

"One more thing doc."

"What?" Dr. Robotnik was getting impatient.

"Where are the other three emeralds you had?"

"?" Dr. Robotnik noticed he wasn't holding the chaos emeralds anymore. "What? It can't be! How can this happen?"

Espio reappeared by Vector, holding the emeralds Dr. Robotnik had.

"You little pest!" Dr. Robotnik cried. "You tricked me!"

"Nothing personal doctor, just doing our job." Espio said, giving the emeralds to Sonic.

"And that's beating bad guys like you up!" Charmy said with a laugh.

"Now come quietly and we won't use force." Vector said, giving the emerald back to Amy.

"Humph, did you honestly think I would come unprepared?" He pressed a button on his egg carrier.

As soon as he pressed it, numerous robots appeared behind him. These robots looked like a robotic version of Robotnik. They wore the same design as Robotnik, having the red shirt with yellow fangs painted on them. Each of them had orange jetpacks on their backs and they were holding guns. They pointed their guns at Sonic and his friends.

"Egg Robos!" Tails cried

"That's a lot of robots…" Knuckles stammered.

"We can take them, right guys?" Ness asked.

"Only one way to find out." Vector said.

"On guard!" Espio cried.

"Guard on!" Charmy said.

"Get them!" Dr. Robotnik cried.

( watch?v=rnCudAdyjEc)

The Egg Robos immediately began firing. The group divided up in order to avoid the blast. The Egg Robos scattered in order to corner the heroes, but couldn't since they were outside. So they also divided into groups and went after small groups.

In one group, Ness, Loid, Duster, Kumatora, Knuckles and Charmy were fighting off Egg Robos.

"For god's sake why are there so damn many?" Knuckles exclaimed, spin jumping off of some.

"Don't complain, just keep beating them down!" Ness cried, destroying some with a Pk Flash.

"Just keep destroying them! Don't stop until there's no more!" Charmy cried, destroying some with his stinger.

"It's kind of hard to hit them though!" Loid said, trying to hit some with his laser gun. However he didn't hit any of them.

Duster jumped up and smashed one Egg Robo with a powerful kick. "Just keep trying!" He yelled.

Thunder clashed in the sky as Kumatora sent out multiple blasts of Pk Thunder. "If that doesn't work, try something else!" She yelled.

Loid, getting frustrated, threw his laser gun up in the air. In success, he had hit a few Egg Robos. However he didn't grab the laser gun, for he was rummaging through his back. He pulled out a few sets of bottle rockets. He then started firing the bottle rockets. As each rocket hit an Egg Robo, the explosions seemed bigger in the sky.

"Blow them up with anything!" He exclaimed, firing more bottle rockets.

In another group, Pippi, Tails, Espio, Boney, Jeff, Claus, Popo, and Nana were doing the same thing as the first group.

Pippi threw her boomerang around wildly. "This is AWESOME!" she exclaimed. "It's literally raining cats and dogs, along with a few other animals! Someone get a picture of this!"

Jeff fired his heavy bazooka throughout the sky. "Pippi stay focused!" He called to her. He then jumped over a blast from an Egg Robo and fired his heavy bazooka after it. When it hit the target, Jeff switched to multi bottle rockets. He fired as many as he could, and watched the explosions in the sky.

Claus fired a powerful Pk Love at a large group of Egg Robos. "There's too many of them! We may not last much longer!"

Boney ran around, catching animals and bringing them to safety. He tried his best to avoid blast from the Egg Robos. "WOOF! (I CAN USE SOME HELP OVER HERE!)" He exclaimed.

Claus then rushed over to where his dog was at and fired an intense bolt of lightning from his hands. The lightning covered a majority of the sky, causing much of the Egg Robos to short circuit and explode.

"Ok Boney, get the animals to safety." Claus told him.

"Woof! (Yes sir!)" Boney barked in response. Boney then ran off, scooping up as many animals as he can and carrying them to safety.

In the skies, Tails carried Espio throughout the sky. As he did, Espio threw exploding ninja stars at the Egg Robos. Each time an Egg Robo spotted them, Espio would throw a ninja star.

"Espio I can't stay up here much longer." Tails said, slowly descending through the air.

"Then land and I'll attack them without being seen." He said.

As Tails landed, Espio jumped up. He put his hands together, causing a whirlwind. When the whirlwind disappeared, Espio could no longer be seen. He could still be heard however.

"Let me take care of things." He said to Tails. He then ran off, attacking without being seen. Tails spin dashed around the battlefield, occasionally jumping to hit an Egg Robo.

Popo and Nana were running around, smashing Egg Robos with their mallets. As they constantly smashed Egg Robos, Nana watched Popo intently.

"Are you sure you can fight?" She asked him.

"Nana, I am 100% sure that I can keep going." He smiled at her.

Off in the distance, Lucas, Poo, Picky, Flint, Hinawa, Ninten, and EVE were both fighting the Egg Robos and getting the animals to safety.

Lucas jumped around, smashing Egg Robos with his mystical stick. "They just won't stop coming!" He exclaimed, avoiding a blast from an Egg Robo.

Picky let out a small snicker as he punched an Egg Robo. "Well they've certainly made quite a mess now haven't they?"

Poo jumped over an Egg Robo, and then stabbed it in the chest with his sword of kings. "Picky now's not the time to be making dirty jokes!" He exclaimed.

Hinawa picked up a few animals and then ran towards safety. "Boys, stay focused!" She cried. An Egg Robo flew in front of her, and she stopped in her tracks. Before it could fire its laser, Flint jumped in front of it and smashed it with a giant piece of wood from a tree.

"We can't stop now; we've got to keep moving!" He exclaimed. He then looked at his wife. "Are you ok?" He asked her.

Hinawa nodded. "Just take out the robots while I take the animals to safety."

They both went their separate ways, avoiding a laser blast.

In the skies, Ninten was on EVE's back, smashing Egg Robos with his bat. He used Pk Power shield to keep them safe. EVE flew around attacking Egg Robos with her fist.

"How are you holding up EVE?" Ninten asked.

"Health is at 83%. Status: Normal. I am fine." EVE responded.

"You know I can heal you if you get tired. Just let me know."

"I will remember that."

In the last group, Sonic, Paula, Ana, Teddy, Amy and Vector were trying to reach Robotnik, but he was surrounded by a swarm of Egg Robos.

Paula used a powerful Pk Fire in an attempt to clear out a pathway. "Why are there so many Egg Robos?" Paula asked. The fire hit a few of the Egg Robos. When they exploded, there was a small opening for an attack. However it soon was covered by more Egg Robos.

Teddy stabbed an Egg Robo with his Katana. "We have to fall back! There's too many!" He exclaimed. He then jumped to avoid a laser blast from an Egg Robo. However another was above him and hit him in the back, causing him to fall.

Ana used Pk lifeup Omega in order to keep anyone from fainting. "Just keep going, we can't afford to quit!" She then threw her frying pan at an Egg Robo. However before she could retrieve it, she was knocked back by an Egg Robo.

Vector rushed to her side and helped her up. He then spun around, spitting out purple bubbles from his mouth. Once they came in contact with an Egg Robo, they exploded. "Are you all right?" He asked her.

Ana took her frying pan, and then ran off without a word.

"I'll never understand dames." Vector said to himself. He then punched an Egg Robo. "You won't see me falling for one."

(But we all know he will)

Amy smashed multiple Egg Robos with her hammer. "Don't give up everyone, we can win!" She cried. She then jumped up and threw her hammer at some Egg Robos. When she picked it up however, An Egg Robo smacked her in the back. Amy rolled across the ground, howling in pain. Sonic, who was running around dodging lasers and attacking Egg Robos, noticed this and rushed over to Amy. He noticed she had taken major damage. He picked her up and ran outside the battlefield. He set her down by a palm tree and gave her a look of worry.

Amy placed one of her hands on Sonic's cheek. She struggled to keep her eyes open.

"Sonic…I don't think I'll…make it…" She was breathing heavily.

Sonic leaned in closer.

"Stop…Robotnik…make him pay…"

Sonic didn't move.

"Please…I just need…some rest…I'll be fine…"

Sonic stared at her.

"Just go-"

Before she could finish, Sonic leaned in and kissed her. Amy, surprised by the action, let her hand drop off of Sonic's cheek and closed her eyes. However as soon as she closed her eyes, Sonic broke the kiss. She stared at him with a loving gaze.

"Sonic-"

He placed a finger over her mouth. He smiled at her and took the chaos emerald from her. He turned around.

The seven chaos emeralds floated around her. As they did, Sonic began floating as well. He closed his eyes and let the energy of the chaos emeralds flow through his body. He clutched his chest as he took control of the energy.

( watch?v=DLEsPSeyUKU)

He then tried to let out a scream, but nothing came out. As he did, his blue fur became covered in a yellow coat. The quills on his head stood up.

Sonic turned around and gave Amy a hug. He then flew off into the sky back to the battlefield. He left Amy with a shocked expression on her face.

Back at the battlefield, the amount of Egg Robos were dropping, along with the stamina of the heroes.

"Give up yet?" Dr. Robotnik called.

Suddenly the Egg Robos were seen flying away. Most of them however were destroyed. Sonic was flying through the sky, smashing into Egg Robos. He didn't let one Egg Robo escape. When more Egg Robos came and saw Sonic flying towards them, they turned around and flew away. However Sonic caught them with his speed and destroyed them. Everyone watched in amazement.

"Oh SHIT!" Dr. Robotnik cried.

The heroes cheered as Sonic flew towards Robotnik.

Dr. Robotnik spoke into a small radio. "Get out here now!" He cried.

Sonic was homing in on Robotnik, who was flying away from him. He tried to pick up speed, but couldn't without the power of a chaos emerald. Dr. Robotnik didn't expect Sonic to have the other four emeralds. He turned around and didn't see Sonic. However when he turned back around, Sonic was standing on the egg carrier with an angry expression on his face.

". . ." Sonic didn't say a word, which was natural.

"Crap…" Dr. Robotnik closed his eyes.

Sonic was then knocked off the egg carrier by something. He fell down; however he didn't hit the ground because he could fly. He looked up.

(Stop the music and play this: watch?v=uD_6eyGQj8s)

Standing on the egg carrier was a robot that looked like Sonic. It had a blue coated exterior, which was slightly darker than Sonic's blue fur. It also had a big, yellow hole in its chest. Even though it was obvious that it was a robot, it resembled Sonic a lot. It even copied his shoe and glove design and even his head shape. However it didn't have quills sticking out of his back like Sonic. The robot had dark, menacing red eyes.

The robot jumped down in an attempt to attack Sonic, but Sonic moved out of the way. Sonic landed on the ground and stared at the robot.

"It's Metal Sonic!" Tails cried.

"Oh crap…" Knuckles said.

"Who's Metal Sonic?" Flint asked.

"Metal Sonic is Sonic's doppelganger." Ness told him. "He can do everything Sonic can do. He's just as fast and powerful as Sonic. He's the only known creation of Robotnik that has come close to killing him. He's considered Dr. Robotnik's greatest creation ever."

"And he has a bone to pick with you Sonic!" Dr. Robotnik laughed.

Metal Sonic then raised his hands. A force field appeared around him and Sonic, shutting out everyone, including Dr. Robotnik. As he brought his hands down, the force field swept everyone back. He then stared down Sonic. The scene put fear and suspense in everyone.

"None of us shall interfere with this battle." Dr. Robotnik said. "This is between Sonic and Metal Sonic. He wants a fair match against Sonic, and he won't stop battling him until he wins. He's my most persistent robot."

"So we have to sit here and watch?" Knuckles asked.

"I guess so." Kumatora said as she sat down.

Sonic's fur then returned to its normal blue color.

"He's back to normal now…" Knuckles said.

"Go get 'em Sonic!" Tails yelled.

Sonic gave Tails a thumbs up, then wagged his finger at Metal Sonic. Metal Sonic simply stood there with his arms folded.

(We've all got our favorite Metal Sonic boss theme, so here's my top 5. Pick the one you like best for this fight. So stop the music and play one of these.)

Sonic and Metal Sonic lunged for each other. Metal Sonic tried to slash Sonic with his claws, but Sonic avoided it with is speed. Sonic attempted to counter the attack with a low kick, but Metal Sonic dodged the attack. Sonic then ran up to Metal Sonic in an attempt to punch him, but Metal Sonic guarded against the attack. Metal Sonic then countered by picking up Sonic and lifting him up into the air, then by throwing him into the ground. Sonic quickly rolled out of the way to avoid a headbutt to the stomach. Sonic then spin dashed into Metal Sonic, sending them both into the air. Sonic then followed up the attack by kicking Metal Sonic downward, causing him to crash into the ground. Sonic then tried to slam into Metal Sonic, but was smacked away by Metal Sonic's fist. Metal Sonic then got up and charged at Sonic with a drill claw attack. Sonic jumped over Metal Sonic, barely avoiding the attack. Sonic then countered with a rocket kick, sending him and Metal Sonic crashing into a tree. Sonic was then knocked back and into the sky by Metal Sonic. He charged directly at Sonic, but Sonic avoided the attack and tried to counter with a headbutt. Metal Sonic, noticing this, also countered with a headbutt. The two attacks were so strong and equal in power that it sent both fighters back and crashing into the ground. A cloud of dust surrounded the fighters.

However neither one of them stayed down. Their shadows could be seen in the cloud dust, both looking similar. However Metal Sonic's eyes could be seen and they looked madder than ever. Sonic charged at Metal Sonic with a spin rocket by jumping off a nearby tree. However Metal Sonic grabbed Sonic, anticipating this attack, and threw him into the tree. He then rammed into Sonic, hitting him in the chest. Sonic kicked Metal Sonic off of him and then clutched his chest in pain. However he didn't have time to stay in that position because Metal Sonic was charging at him with an electrified drill claw attack. Sonic spin jumped in the air, and then countered by landing on Metal Sonic. Metal Sonic crashed into the ground, but quickly recovered. He then charged as Sonic with a spindash, and Sonic did the same. The two spindashes collided, and once again they were equal in power. The two jumped away from each other, realizing that the spin dash attack would not work. Then they ran at each other at sonic speed, throwing punches and kicks at each other. They were moving so fast that they swept the dust cloud away. No one said anything as they watched, because it was hard to keep track off their movements.

Sonic and Metal Sonic then jumped away from each other. Neither appeared to be in any pain. The two then charged at each other once more. This time, they hit each other head on, trying to push the other back with their speed.

"It's no use." Metal Sonic said, using his new voice chip. His voice was deep, which made him seem even more menacing. "I have all your data. I have copied your abilities. Your strength…your speed…I have it all. I can even read your mind!"

"There's no way that's true!" Sonic thought to himself.

"Oh but every word is true!" Metal Sonic telepathy communicated to Sonic.

"!"

(Sonic fans know what's coming up next)

I know EVERYTHING you're going to do!"

"You might know everything I'm going to do," Sonic thought. "But that's not going to help you since I know everything you're going to do! STRANGE ISN'T IT?"

"GYYRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" A strange sound was heard. Now both fighters were desperately trying to push the other back. Sonic then got an idea. Sonic jumped right over Metal Sonic, causing him to keep going. As soon as Metal realized Sonic wasn't in front of him anymore, he stopped in his tracks. He scanned the area, looking for Sonic.

BAM!

Sonic had hit Metal Sonic with a high jump kick.

Or so he thought.

Metal Sonic had grabbed Sonic's foot just before impact. He swung around and sent Sonic back.

"I will NOT be defeated by a mere copy!" He exclaimed.

Sonic recovered in the air and stared at Metal Sonic. Neither of them moved.

(Telepathic conversation next)

"Aww yeah! This is happenin!" The hedgehog smirked.

"A bit overexcited for death, are we?" The robot smirked.

"Just excited that I'll avoid death once again."

"We'll see about that once I stop holding back."

"So now we can get down to the real fight." Sonic scratched his nose with his finger. "The last Sonic standing will be declared the winner."

"There can be only one Sonic." Metal Sonic scratched his nose with his claw. He made two short beeps.

"What? This world isn't big enough for the both of us and one of us has to go?" Sonic folded his arms.

"It would seem that way" Metal Sonic folded his arms and nodded his head.

"Well, I agree!" Sonic charged at Metal Sonic

"For once, we agree on something." Metal Sonic charged at Sonic.

The two then used their speed to collide with each other. One could say it was collision chaos out there. The two kept throwing punches at each other in order to gain the upper hand in the battle. Sonic and Metal Sonic raced around, each pursuing the other in hopes of countering an attack. Sonic and Metal Sonic's movements were so swift, not even they could see them coming. Eventually, they each stopped fighting, but only for a brief moment. Metal Sonic charged at Sonic with another drill claw attack. Sonic then charged at Metal Sonic with a spin dash attack. The two attacks collided, and sent both fighters into the air.

From the distance, Amy could see the two in the air. As Sonic smacked Metal Sonic down into the ground, she smiled weakly.

"He's winning…" She thought to herself. She then stood up and staggered back to the battlefield. By the time she got there, she was shocked to see Sonic and Metal Sonic still fighting.

Metal Sonic then stopped fighting and fired a blue laser. Sonic jumped over the laser; however it bounced off the force field. Sonic jumped over it again, and this time Metal Sonic had to avoid it as well. Now the two were avoiding the death laser.

Sonic got one more idea. He pulled out the chaos emeralds and placed them on the ground in a circle. He then stood in the center. When the laser came towards him, it was retracted into the emeralds.

The emeralds started shaking. They started glowing uncontrollably. Sonic jumped out of the way as a white blast of energy covered the entire field.

"Everyone look out!" Ness cried. As everyone shielded themselves, the white light blinded them. When they could see again, they were back in the black world again.

"We're here AGAIN?" Ness exclaimed.

Once again, there was nothing in sight but darkness.

"Son of a…"

Next time, the gang ends up back in Tazmily!
