Chapter Twenty-Two: Metal's Revenge
"Sonic, come back!" Amy called to the blue blur. "No way!" Sonic exclaimed as he tried to run faster. Unfortunately, since he was on a battleship three thousand feet in the air, he didn't have much room to run. "What about that date you promised!?" Amy shouted. "I said some other time!" Sonic replied. Sonic was still be pursued by the love struck hedgehog. Shadow was caught by Kumori a while ago and was being beaten by the furious prototype. But there was good news and bad news. The good news was that Sonic was no longer being chased by Amy. The bad news, it was because an unknown enemy kicked the hero hedgehog in the side of the face. Sonic sat up to find that the one that attacked him was Recter Rose. "Uh oh." Sonic muttered. "There's no where to run, Sonic! It's time we end this once and for all!" Rector yelled. Recter charged at Sonic and swung his fist down to the floor. Lucky, Sonic back flipped in time to avoid the attack being a part of the hole in the floor that Recter's fist created. "You can't run forever." Recter said. Meanwhile, Amy was watching silently as Recter and Sonic fought their battle. Her silence was ended when she uttered a single word. "Recter?"
Sonic couldn't even get close to the red hedgehog as he was sending jabs left and right. Sonic knew that one hit would be the end for him. Too bad for Sonic, Recter had planned ahead and was pushing Sonic back into a steel wall. It was only when he reached the wall that he had defeated. "You're finished." Recter proclaimed as he reeled his fist back. But before he could even throw the punch, Amy suddenly ran up to Recter from behind and wrapped him into a loving hug. Recter suddenly halted. This feeling felt so...familiar. "Please...don't do it, big brother." Amy cried. Recter now knew who it was. "Amy?" Recter asked as he turned back to her. Recter couldn't believe it. After three years of searching, he had finally found his little sister. "Amy, I can't believe it's you. You've grown." Recter happily said. "Yeah, I am now a full-fledged woman." Amy said. "I don't think so. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to kill him." Recter pointed to Sonic. "You can't, Recter! I love him!" Amy exclaimed. "What?! After he kidnapped you three years ago?!" Recter yelled at the top of his lungs. "But I never kidnapped Amy." Sonic said. "Yeah right. Well, if it wasn't you. Then who was it?" Recter questioned. "That would be me."
Recter looked to where the voice came from, only to receive a metal foot to the face that sent him back several feet. "Recter!" Amy screamed. Amy, Sonic, and the rest Team Hedgehog/Rose ran to his side. "You all right?" Shadow asked. "Anyone get the license off that truck?" Recter said in a daze. Sonic looked over to Recter's attack, only to receive the shock of a lifetime. The attack and mastermind behind this whole adventure was none other then...Metal Sonic. Only this time, he was different. His structure was taller, stronger body armor, and had five spikes on the back of his head with white highlights. His red metal shoes were pointed; he also had black shoulder blades, a spiked belt, gauntlets, and a black, flowing cape around his waist. Needless to say, he was completely different then before. "Metal? Is that you?" Sonic asked in shock. Amy was also shocked, but the others just looked in confusion. "Who is that?" Silver asked. "I have no clue." Shadow replied.
"It's good to see that you memory is still as sharp after all these years." Metal said. "What happened to you?" Sonic asked. "Well, I have Shadow and Silver to thank for that. Because of the chaos control they were able to produce, I was able to travel back in time to the point when Solaris was created. It was there I was able to find the means of obtaining this new power." Metal explained. Silver held a shocked expression on his face. This guy, Metal Sonic, was able to remember Solaris. "So you remember everything about Solaris?" Silver asked. "I remember everything about him and you, Silver. I know for a fact you come from the future and that you are the descendent of Sonic and Amy." Metal said. There was an awkward silence for a moment until. "WHAT!!!" Sonic and Recter yelled. "Uh...surprise?" Silver said nervously. Amy cheered happily knowing that she would marry Sonic one day, Sonic looked like he was having a nervous breakdown, and Recter was attepting to strangle Sonic. "So tell us, are you the one behind all this?" Blaze cut straight to the point. "You don't miss a beat, do you? Yes, I am the one who created all this. The mechs, the battleships, all mine. Now only one thing stands between me and total conquest. And now I shall deal with it." Metal said in a sinister manner.
To everyone's surprise, Metal Sonic lifted over a hundred destroyed mechs over his head using his new psychokinetic abilities. "But how can he do that?" Blaze questioned. "It's quiet simple. During you're little adventure, I have been secretly scanning your abilities and copying them. Everything you know, I now." Metal said. And to prove his point, Metal Sonic ignited his claws with his new Pyrokinetic powers. But before he could even reach the surprised heroes. A large wave of water splashed over Metal and extinguished his flames and Rouge came from out of nowhere and kicked him in the head, forcing him to drop the mechs. The water wave then shifted around before taking the form of Chaos. "Chaos!" Silver exclaimed. "So you're still here." Metal said. The sound of a gun reloading was heard by Metal as he turned around. But the minute he turned around, Metal was shot relentlessly by Omega at close range. "Primary target: eliminated!" Omega stated. Unfortunately, things were never that easy. Metal suddenly rose up and transformed his hands into guns similar to Omega's. Metal pointed his guns at Metal's chest and let all hell loose. Omega collapsed from the assault as Meta reverted his claws to their original form. "Pathetic." Metal stated.
"Well look who it is." Metal looked over to the side to find Team Babylon, Knuckles, and Chaotix all gathered together. "So you fools wish to perish as well." Metal said. "Hey, we beat you before and we can do it again." Knuckles proclaimed. "If that's true, then prove it." Metal challenged. "Let's all attack at once!" Jet said. "Get him!" Charmy shouted. The three teams all jumped at once and piled one the insidious machine. "We got him!" Strom cheered. "So you think." Metal said. All of a sudden, I a mighty feat of power, Metal lifted all three teams with one hand and threw them ten feet away. "Hmm. The combined strength of Knuckles, Storm, and Vector is truly impressive." Metal uttered. Metal suddenly felt an electric shock to his back and turned to face the source. Eggman had returned to his Egg-mobile and faced off against Metal himself. Do you really think you stand a chance against me?" Metal said. Using the Combined speed of the four fastest hedgehogs, Metal zipped past Eggman and Sliced the Egg-mobile in half. "Now to finish what I started." Metal said as he reached for Eggman.
Suddenly, Metal raised his gauntlet to block Recter's incoming kick. Metal flipped his claws and captured Recter's foot. "You dare to challenge my power as well?" Metal questioned. "Nobody uses me and gets away with it!" Recter stated. Recter threw a right hook to Metal's head, but the menacing robot caught it with his other claw. Recter reeled back his other foot and brought it to Metal's head. Unfortunately, Metal brought up his gauntlet to block the blow. It was then that Recter found an opening in metal's defense. "Gotcha now." Recter smirked. Recter reeled back his remaining limp and nailed it into Metal's chest. Metal staggered back for a moment before he realized that Recter was and to blow his head off. "That's enough!" Metal exclaimed. Just as Recter was about to drive his fist into Metal's skull, the blue machine jabbed its two claws into Recter's shoulder. "But...how?" Recter asked as his arm went limp. "You didn't think I wasn't expecting your betrayal. While you were fighting Sonic, I copied your data along with his." Metal explained. Metal reeled back his fist for a moment, but then jumped away as Sonic used his homing attack on the spot where Metal was. "You alright?" Sonic asked. "Yeah." Recter replied.
Metal back flipped twenty feet away from the nineteen heroes and Eggman and stared at them intently. "Not that this hasn't been fun, but I think its time we end this." Metal said. With an impressive leap, Metal Sonic himself bounded towards the top of the rod of the Eggman tower. Dark clouds covered the sky as lightening filled the air. "Ha, ha, ha, ha. All life forms, bow before your new master!" Metal commanded. Metal then commands the lightning to strike at his location and destroy the tower along with him. "Did we win?" Cream asked. "I don't think so." Wave said. And she was right. Just as quickly as the tower was destroyed, a blue vortex sucked up the parts and bonded them together. The parts formed a large sphere below a giant chest connected to a crab-like claw, a spiked claw, and a spiked spine. And finally, Metal Sonic transformed to become a gigantic spiked dragon head that looked similar to Perfect Chaos with two vertical eyes. Metal Sonic had transformed into one of his most ferocious forms: Metal Madness. "And now, the world is mine to conquer!" Metal Madness roared.
Down below the metal monstrosity, Sonic and the other heroes watched in horror of Metal Sonic's transformation. "Metal Sonic has used the Solaris program to finally transform!" Eggman exclaimed. Just as he said that, Eggman's mech army started running like the cowards they were, but the heroes paid no attention to them. "We've got to find a way to stop him!" Rouge exclaimed. "It's useless! Metal Sonic has combined your data to transform himself and is super strong. ARGH...If only we had the seven chaos emeralds!" Eggman screamed. As if on command, Sonic held out the green chaos emerald, Amy held the Blue emerald, Jet held the yellow emerald, Chaos held the white emerald, Knuckles held the light blue emerald, and Espio held the purple emerald. "Ah man, we're one short." Sonic said. Then all of a sudden, Recter held out his hand to reveal the red chaos emerald. "Where did you get that" Knuckles asked. "I found it after I defeated you." Recter answered.
"Even with the emerald's power, our chances for victory are slim! It would take a miracle!" Eggman exclaimed. "Just leave that to me, doc." Sonic said. "Sonic, no!" Amy cried, but was cut off. "Don't think I'm going to let you have all the fun." Shadow said. "There is no way I am going to be left out of this." Silver said. "I wouldn't even think about it." Sonic smirked. "Ok, you guys. We'll buy you some time so that you can access your super forms." Chaos said. "All right then, let's get ready to do this. We'll show that creep the power of..." "Hold it!" Silver cut him off. "What?" Sonic asked. "That's my line." Silver said. "Oh, then go ahead." Sonic said. "All right, guys. Let show this creep the true power of team work!" Silver shouted. The heroes cheered and ran off to face Metal Madness. All except for Amy. "For good luck." Amy said before she kissed him on the cheek. Sonic blushed for a moment until Recter gave him a look that clearly said 'I'm watching you'. "This is going to be a long day." Sonic sighed.
