Zero Sagas

Chapter 16: Battling Different Dimensions

(A/N), I own Zero, Sapphire, Nightmare, and Lifeform 0. I also own the idea of Zero Sagas. I DON'T own Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Knuckles ect. They belong to their respectful owners.

"Behold…" Lifeform 0 smirked evilly, "The Omega Emerald!"

Sonic began to feel colder and colder, its as though he was loosing his emotions, as if he was being ripped to shreds by the energy. Shadow also felt the same way, he looked around then spotted a flower by him, the flower slowly fell down, lifeless.

"Sonic," Shadow began, "The energy of the Omega Emerald seems to be sucking all the life out of this world, soon this world will become no more, we have to destroy it!"

"Yeah… Shadow, we have to go super, using the Chaos Emeralds."

"But how can we do that?" Shadow asked, "The Chaos Emeralds are nothing now."

"It seems that way," Sonic said, "But you can still use the good power of the Chaos Emeralds, even though he took all the other parts we can still use it."

"Alright, but how can we get them?"

"Just follow my lead." Sonic said.

Lifeform 0 looked around, "Well then, I guess I'll just destroy you now!"

Suddenly the Omega Emerald shot a black beam at Lifeform 0, enveloping him in energy,

"Now!" Sonic shouted.

They both ran as fast as they could, Lifeform 0, confused, didn't move. In the second that past they managed to grab all the Chaos Emeralds and held them in their arms.

"It's pointless to hold those!" Lifeform 0 said, "They are powerless!"

The Chaos Emeralds began to circle Sonic and Shadow. In a flash of golden light they became Super Sonic and Super Shadow, suddenly a flash of black light enveloped Lifeform 0, when the light faded, Lifeform 0 floated in mid-air glowing white gold.

"It's too late fools! I'm in perfect form! There is no way you can win!"

"We'll just see about that!" Sonic grinned.

In a split second they were in the sky, as if they hadn't even moved. Sonic and Shadow flew at Lifeform 0 and began to pelt him with attacks so fast they couldn't be seen. Yet Lifeform 0 managed to block them all apparently without even moving. He then simultaneously punched both Sonic and Shadow. They flew through the sky due to the strength of the attack, but before they could react he was behind them. Lifeform 0 kicked them back and forth, as if they were just ping-pong balls. Before he could kick them again Shadow rolled past his foot and grabbed him, Sonic flipped upright and began to pelt him with extremely powerful attacks.

After a couple minutes of taking major blows he shot a wave of energy all around him, flinging them from him. They then flew to each other and began to exchange blows, Sonic and Shadow on par with Lifeform 0. Shadow warped behind him and kicked him in the back, making him soar through the sky, Sonic appeared in his projectory and hit him back to Shadow.

"Coming your way!" Sonic smartly commented.

"Back to you." Shadow replied kicking him back.

They kicked him back and forth until he stopped in mid air. He then began to shoot white beams at Sonic and Shadow. They easily dodged them until one of the beams managed to scrape Shadow's side, suddenly he felt weak.

"Argh!" Shadow yelped in pain, "What's going on?"

Slowly he began to change back into his normal self.

"Shadow!" Sonic yelled rushing over to him.

"Here, take the rest of my super energy, somehow that beam he shot managed to seep up my power, I'll go back and help the others." Shadow activated his jet boosters, he then pointed his hands at Sonic and let his energy drift into him, and he then descended back down into the forest.

"You can't beat me!" Lifeform 0 said mockingly, "The two of you combined couldn't beat me… you think you can defeat me alone?"

"I'm not alone…" Sonic realized.

"Huh?"

"… I'm not alone! I have my friends, loved ones who I want to protect, lives I have to save, that is why I'm not alone, and I'll defeat you!!" Sonic began to glow white, his quills suddenly were enveloped with white Shadow styled highlights.

"What is this strange power???" Lifeform 0 said, confused.

"I'll save the lives of my friends! Even if it means destroying both of us!" Sonic began to glow brighter and brighter.

The light blinded Lifeform 0, he tried to squint to see through it but he couldn't, he had to block his eyes. Sonic felt as though his arms moved on their own as if they moved through the air forming strange mage like seals, he moved his arms back and felt a mass of pure energy form in his hands.

"Raaaaaaaaaaah!!!" Sonic pushed his arms forward and felt a ray of energy shoot at directly at Lifeform 0.

"NOOO!!!!" Lifeform 0 shouted as the ray hit him dead on.

Meanwhile…

Shadow landed in the forest, he looked around and saw Sapphire, Haze, Michelle, Knuckles, and an unconscious Eggman away from the alter.

"Oh no…" Sapphire said, "The Omega Emerald… If this goes on much longer the world will be doomed!"

Shadow turned away from them and looked up at the figure of Sonic blasting Lifeform 0 with a ray. "Don't worry… Its all under control."

They watched as the beam hit Lifeform 0 dead on, both of the figures descended and landed on the ground, a short distance away from them.

Sonic looked and saw Lifeform 0 floating in mid-air, eyes half closed. He then blinked a couple of times and looked around. He put a hand to his forehead then lowered it.

"Where am I?" He said in a peaceful, different voice.

"Z-Zero…" Sapphire said, tears filling her eyes.

"Sapphire? Is that you?" Zero turned.

"ZERO!!!" Sapphire ran and embraced him, bawling her eyes out.

Sonic felt as though things were getting better, yet noticed the Omega Emerald pulsating he turned to Zero. "Hey! Zero! What are we going to do about the crazy black emerald?"

Zero looked at the Omega Emerald, he then looked back to Sonic. "We need an incredible power to attack it, doing that will stop the pulsating of the emerald." Zero looked at Sapphire's crying form, "Me…"

Sapphire looked up, "You? What do you mean you?

"I must be the one to do it, I will have to enter the Omega Emerald, to save everyone here…"

"But Zero! If you do that you'll-

"Yes, I know, but it will make the world a better place, I am cursed by the evil, you all can have happy futures, I am stuck with this evil spirit… I must go now, I don't know how much longer I have until I am taken over again."

"Zero! Please don't go! Please don't leave me again!!!" Sapphire yelled.

"I'm sorry Sapphire… Farewell…" Zero said.

He turned and flew into the air. Sapphire tried to chase after him, but was stopped by Michelle and Julia. As if the world was silent Sonic and Shadow warped them away back to Angel Island. In the distance they saw the figure of Zero fly at the location of the emerald, suddenly there was a huge explosion. Sapphire fell to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably, as if there was a hole in her chest.

"He was brave and heroic, resisting evil to save his friends…" Sonic said, "Zero the Hedgehog."

Sapphire crawled to the edge of the cliff and looked at the giant explosion cloud in the distance, she buried her face in the grass and cried. Michelle and Julia watching sadly.
