As the title suggests, and as most Sonic games end, Eggman's dream get's denied.
The town known as Station Square was having a relatively peaceful day. The flickys were singing, people were walking through the streets, each with their own destinations in mind. The wind was blowing, the temperature was cool. Many of Station Square's citizens thought that today would be a perfect day.
They were wrong.
Song: Boss - Sonic The Hedgehog
Eggman Nega was returning to Station Square, where he was looking over Ivo Robotnik's plans. "He had four Chaos Emeralds in his possession. He knows that his beast isn't ready yet, but I suppose this is a necessary risk. We need all the pieces, so why not bring them to us?" He turned his face towards a massive ship heading his way, with a smaller blue plane flying behind it. "I did my part. Now you do yours, then I'll take all the glory!"
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles land the plane on Eggman's battleship, and make a break for the sky deck.
"Eggman's gotta be around here! Let's get going!"
Sky Deck
Song: Egg Fleet
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles ran along bridges underneath the battleship.
"We're really high up! Don't fall, you two!" Knuckles said.
"I'm not an idiot, Knux!' Sonic retorted.
"And I can fly!" Tails added.
They avoided cannon fire and badniks galore.
"Egghead's pulling out all the stops! Let's rock and roll!" Sonic yelled.
Knuckles grabbed Sonic and threw him at some badniks, while Tails grabbed Knuckles and flew him above others, and Knuckles dropped on them. Sonic and Knuckles both curled up and proceeded to smash each badnik and bounce over to the next one. Afterwards, Tails caught both of them and flew to solid ground.
"You two are heavy." Tails said.
"Blame the muscles!" Knuckles said.
"What muscles? You're just as scrawny as we are!" Sonic joked.
"Not for long, blue boy!" Knuckles hinted.
Song: E.G.G.M.A.N
The trio arrived at the center of the ship to see Eggman, who had Amy, Big, and Cream trapped.
"Let them go, Eggman!" Sonic said!
"Not likely, pest! I don't really have time to deal with you fools. E 102, Gamma! Metal Sonic! Come forth!"
"Metal Sonic?" Sonic asked.
"A wise man once said 'If you want to beat a spy, train a spy. If you want to beat a Hedgehog, make a Hedgehog!' So I did!" He opened a hatch below his saucer and dropped a frog. "You're dead weight, now that I have what I wanted!" And he flew off.
"Froggy!" Big broke free of his restrainers and picked up the frog. "You're going to be ok, buddy!"
"Destroy them, my robots!" Eggman yelled from afar.
The two aforementioned robots stepped forth. One was a blue robotic hedgehog with some yellow platings, red eyes, and red shoes. The next robot was much taller than the first, predominantly red, with a gray stripe down it's torso, green eyes, and a gun on it's arm.
Sonic and Metal Sonic proceeded to size each other up.
Gamma looked toward the rest of the group. "Analyzing data. The red echidna known as Knuckles is shown to be the strongest, while not being the biggest threat. The three captives are unknown, but the purple one appears to be the most intimidating. Processing… Processing… Attack strategy formed."

Metal Sonic
Metal Sonic zoomed towards Sonic, who countered this move by sweep kicking it off of it's feet.
"This was the doc's trump card? Kind of disappointing." Sonic jumped into the air, and spun around rapidly. "Sonic Wind!" A blue tornado was kicked up, and drew Metal Sonic into it, throwing it across the floor.
"I'm just getting started!" The robot spoke in a deep masculine voice.
"It talks." Sonic ran circles around the robot to make sure not to get hit. The result was the appearance of multiple Sonics running around Metal Sonic. "But can it dodge?" Sonic left the circle and rammed into Metal Sonic, knocking him off his feet.
"Sonic the Hedgehog Data… successfully copied." Metal Sonic got up and began to morph. He grew taller, Sonic's height, and a yellow plate on his stomach got bigger. His arms became covered in yellow plating, and his three "quills" separated into six.
"Whoa!" Sonic said. "Wasn't expecting that!"
"He he he." Metal Sonic laughed, with a voice more similar to Sonic's. "Now let's start the party!"
Stardust Speedway - Sonic Generations
The two combatants began their fight by charging at each other. They then launched a series of kicks and attempted to punch each other with the same hand, catching their opponents fist with the other hand. Metal Sonic was able to match Sonic blow for blow.
"What's with the sudden increase?" Sonic asked.
Metal Sonic scoffed. "I was built to be able to match and surpass you." The two separated and jumped into the air. "But alas, the good doctor was unable to achieve such a feat!" The two began to spin jump into each other, trying to gain the advantage over each other. "But in the process of creating me, he discovered just what kind of technology he had at his disposal!" The two landed on the ground, and ran around in one circle.
"So… this trick you're doing is the result of… what?" Sonic asked.
They closed the gap between them, and kicked at each other. Sonic missed, while Metal Sonic hit his jaw. Sonic fell backwards. "Science, you rat! Doctor Robotnik used this technology to allow me to copy almost anyone's data in order to increase my own power, but this was at the cost of my own base power. Had he left me as is, I'd just barely reach your level, and this fight would be over by now."
Sonic got up and caught his breath. "I get it… So now your base power is low enough that I would have an easy time beating you, but now you can copy my abilities in order to evenly match me."
Metal Sonic laughed again. "Close. Almost every word you just said is true."
"What did I miss?" Sonic questioned. He ran towards Metal Sonic and hopped slightly, and flip kicked him, only to have his attack blocked.
"It should be obvious." Metal Sonic laughed.
Sonic jumped backwards, and thought, but he couldn't come up with anything.
"Sonic!" Tails yelled. "Metal Sonic doesn't get tired!"
"Oh." Sonic said.
Metal Sonic ran forward and did the very same move Sonic just did, with results.
As Sonic lay on the floor, Metal Sonic stood over him. "While you tire through battle, I can go as long as my battery holds up, and I won't be shutting down for a few days."
"So you don't run on an animal battery?" Sonic asked.
"That's one of the things that had to go for my copying abilities. But it's not important right now. What is important is that you just ran across this battle ship, and fought me at a lower level before this fight right now. You're tiring out, while I'm at your level. I'm not matching you, I'm surpassing you."
"That's what you'd like to think." Sonic said. "Lot's of people think I rush into things with no care for what's really going on. But what people don't see is that I observe my opponents as I fight them. You're not really copying me. You're mimicking me. You're not as fast as I am."
Metal simply laughed. "Stay in denial if you want. This fight is over." As he finished his sentence, Sonic got up and backed away. "Running away?"
Sonic snickered. "You wish." He ran full speed at Metal Sonic once again. Metal ran forward as well, but he noticed streaks behind Sonic that weren't wind.
"What!?" Metal said. They closed in on each other, but Sonic disappeared at the last second. "Where did you go!?"
"Eggman also underestimated just how fast I really was." Sonic curled up and propelled himself towards Metal. He crashed into him, passed him, then propelled himself back towards Metal. Repeat last step until your opponent can't stand.

Metal Sonic reverted to his original form. He looked up at Sonic, ready to be destroyed.
Sonic stare at him for a second, then smiled. "Let's race sometime."
Metal Sonic looked up. "You're not going to dismantle me?"
"Nah." Sonic returned to his friends.
Song: Gamma - Sonic Adventure
Big stood in front of Amy, Cream, Tails, and Froggy.
Gamma aimed his gun at them, waiting for Big to make the first move.
They stood, staring at eachother.
"Why aren't you moving?" Gamma asked in a deep, masculine voice.
Big gawked. "I'm protecting my friends."
"They are your masters? Then you've been ordered to protect them."
Big shook his head. "I'm just doing what's right."
Gamma shook. "Does not compute. Why protect those who do not command you."
Amy stepped in front of Big. "I guess Eggman wouldn't program morals into his robots, but you seem at least honorable enough not to attack those who do not attack you. Right?"
"..."
"You have a heart in there somewhere. You should use it." Amy continued.
"Insufficient data. No heart exists within my memory banks." Gamma replied.
"It's not something you can remember. It's something you feel, and it guides your actions." Amy turned to everyone else, and saw Knuckles holding what looked like two-thirds of a giant gem. "Let's get going." The six of them turned back towards Station Square.
Song: Chaos's Theme
They (Surprisingly, considering they all jammed themselves in the Tornado) made it back to Station Square to find Samuel and his group fighting a blue monster.
Eggman appeared in his flying chair thing. "You fools! Chaos hasn't even shown you his FINAL form!"
Samuel and Lucy looked up at him. "He can still transform!?"
"Ho ho ho! You won't last to see his final form! Even Sonic wouldn't be able to beat this guy alone!"
"That's what you think!" A blue trail appeared, and crashed into Chaos. It landed next to Samuel, and Sonic himself appeared. "Hey there, doc!"
"What! Metal Sonic and Gamma should've beaten you!"
"We're here, aren't we?"
The rest of Sonic and Shadow's group converged on this point, and Eggman Nega appeared next to Eggman.
"Omega should've been here with the last Emerald by now." Nega stated.
"That thing couldn't handle us!" Silver yelled.
"Doesn't matter! 6 should be plenty! Chaos! Reveal your penultimate form!" Eggman screamed.
Chaos stood still.
Samuel laughed. "I get it. Those lights must be Chaos Emeralds. As long as we have three of them, Chaos won't be transforming any longer!"
"You still have them!?"
Samuel started juggling them. "See for yourself." Just then, a blast of water hit the entire group from behind. "What!?"
They all looked up to see Chaos transforming yet again. He became a frog like creature with a tipped tail.
Song: Boss Battle Night - Sonic Unleashed
Shadow ran forward and kicked Chaos in the head, but only succeeded in getting his foot stuck.
Knuckles tried to punch Chaos in it's gut, but got similar results.
Sonic tried his tried and true spin dash, but disappointed himself. He ended up stick to Chaos by his quills. "Hey! Get me out of here!"
"You think you've got it bad? He's still trying to attack me while I'm stuck!" Shadow said while swatting the tentacles away.
Samuel watched the curb stomp battle, as more of his friends tried to get the advantage. "I think I have an idea." He said. Tails walked up to him.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"First things first. I'll go rescue Shadow."
Tails stared at him. "Why Shadow?"
Samuel returned the look. "Shadow has a Chaos Emerald. If Chaos get's his hands on that, he may very well be invincible." He jumped forwards, and grabbed Shadow when he past him, and brought him back to Tails.
"Thanks." Shadow said.
Samuel nodded, then turned to Chaos. He lobbed a ball at the beasts head. It absorbed it and the ball settled itself right in there, and when it exploded, Chaos froze.
"No way! I can't believe this!" Eggman yelled.
"Now, Shadow!"
Shadow ran forward. "I'll finish this in one attack!" He grabbed on to his wrists and took off his rings. "I won't allow you to get any more powerful!" He burst into a yellow ball of light.
"Whoa!" Samuel said as Shadow crashed into Chaos.
When the smoke cleared, Shadow was on the ground with everyone else, and Chaos no where to be seen. Shadow put his rings back on, and reached for his quills. He found nothing there. "What!?"
"What?" Sonic asked.
"The Emerald! It's gone!"
Everyone got up and looked towards Station Square. It was flooded in water. Sonic could see people in boats and on the rooftops, but it didn't look like everyone made it.
The group, as well as the Eggmen, were heading upwards to avoid drowning. Sonic's group found themselves on a roof that happened to have Chris and his cousins on top of it.
Maria ran up to Shadow, sobbing. "I can't find Grampa or Abe!"
Shadow shook his head. "There's nothing I can do."
Chris walked up to Sonic, who he noticed was shaking. "Are you ok?"
Sonic shook his head. "There's… so much water…"
"Oh. You can't swim." Sonic nodded.
The group watched as Chaos began tearing buildings apart. The Eggmen were laughing a little ways away.
"Now, Chaos! Level the city, so that I may build my empire, Robotropolis!"
Chaos looked at Eggman, and swatted him away.
"You… How DARE you! Stupid beast!"
Nega laughed. "You lack vision, alternate me. I figured you would be unable to see the things you could accomplish, so I took the liberty of taking full control of the monster."
Eggman stared at Nega. "You traitor! We were going to rule together! Two heads are better than one!"
"Not with your head. Now Chaos! Find the Sol Emeralds, and take them for yourself!" Nega commanded. Chaos began moving towards Sonic's group.
"What!? He's already powerful enough as is! Any more powerful and he may break free of the mind control!"
"Yours, maybe." Eggman Nega said. "But I have equipped Chaos with an even more powerful device. I've been developing it for decades."
"Grr! You won't get away with this!" Eggman threatened.
"Hit me with your best shot!" Nega retorted.
Sonic's grouped looked on as certain death came towards them. "Now what?" Knuckles asked.
Song: Tikal's theme
It was then that they saw a pink orb flying towards them. The orb dispersed when it reached them, and from it appeared a pink echidna. "I hope I'm not too late."
"Who are you?" Knuckles asked.
"I'm Tikal. I was tasked with protecting a piece of the Master Emerald for when the world would need it's power."
"You have part of the Master Emerald?" Sonic asked.
Tikal nodded. "As long as Chaos has the Chaos Emeralds, he'll be invincible, but if we use the Master Emerald's power to neutralize the Emeralds, then he should revert to his normal form."
Knuckles took out his section of the Emerald, and Tikal joined it with hers. The Emerald glowed with immense power. "We have to do this fast, before Chaos reaches us!" Amy yelled.
Tikal put her hand on the Emerald. "The servers are the seven Chaos."
Knuckles joined her in chant. "Chaos is power, enriched by the heart."
"The controller is the one that unifies the Chaos. Only you can do this. Stop the Chaos Emeralds!"
Sonic, Shadow, and Samuel looked towards Chaos to see the seven lights fly from his body and land by them as grey Emeralds.
Tikal picked up one of the Emeralds. "Chaos absorbed the energy of the Chaos Emeralds. He won't revert, but he is weakened."
"But how will we use the Emeralds? We can't beat him as we are." Samuel stated.
Sonic smirked. "Maybe we won't need the Emeralds." And he jumped onto the Master Emerald. "Let me show you the power of Super Sonic!"
It was not Sonic, who stopped Eggman, but Nega! DUN, DUN… DUNNNNNNN!
Any way, Super Sonic Time! I may post that chapter tomorrow, since it's shorter, and I was contemplating combining them. I may post it today, who knows?
