I have returned with a new chapter.

Last time, the heroes reunited. Sonic confessed his love for Amy, Tails proposed to Cream, and Armand revealed his dark past.

Now, the heroes must stop Eggman Nega from completing his goal.

Disclaimer: Sega owns Sonic and Co. I only own Armand and this story.

Also, I send thanks to Babylon Sky Hawk for sending me an idea for the fight in this chapter. Read on to find out.

Chapter 11: Desire Gone Too Far

Sonic, Amy, Tails, Cream, Knuckles, Rouge, Silver, Blaze, Shadow, Omega, Armand, Team Chaotix, and the Babylon Rogues were boarding the small ship Tails built that would take them into space. The space station, codenamed "Dead Line" by Eggman Nega, was their destination. Tails had just finished checking everything out to make sure the trip went smoothly.

"Okay, everyone. The ship is ready to go." Tails announced.

"About time. I'm itching to get at Eggman Nega for what he has done." Sonic said as he got ready for the ride.

"I get first shots for what he did to my family." Armand told them.

"No way. I want at him first." Sonic argued. "He nearly disabled me in our fight. You can have him when I'm done, Armand."

"No. I get to fight first."

"No. I do"

"No, me."

They were about to go at it when…

"Knock it off. Everyone gets a chance when we get there." Shadow said as he broke them up.

Everyone sat down as the ship took off. A few minutes later…

"Man, I'm bored. Are we there yet?" Jet asked.

"Calm down, Jet. We'll get there when we get there." Wave told him.

"First, we just have to survive the fleet that's COMING AT US!!" Tails yelled as a group of space fighters closed in on them.

"Those must be Nega's fighters." Armand announced. "They move quickly, but they can't turn at such high speed. They have to slow down to turn. That's when we strike."

"Dang, Armand. You sure know a lot about Eggman Nega." Knuckles commented.

"My father told me about them. Eggman Nega came to our world 11 years ago. He hid for about 6 months, and then made himself known to the world. Two years after my parents died, he suffered a huge defeat at the hands of me and my two buddies, Axel and Basil. He retreated to his world for a time. It seems he has returned to finish what he had started. And he's almost completed his goal. We must stop them now." Armand told them.

"They're going down." Tails said.

A few minutes later, the fighters were destroyed, allowing a clear path to the space station. It didn't take long now that there was no opposition. They docked at one of the open hangars.

"Whoa! This place is huge." Sonic said, amazed.

"Even bigger than the Egg Carrier." Tails added.

"This thing isn't enough to stop me. I'll destroy it without any problems." Omega stated.

"That's just like Omega." Shadow said to himself.

They see a lot of gaps between the platforms.

"Hang on guys. Let me use my grapple hook to swing over the platforms and hit the switches. See you guys on the other side." Armand said, then swung over to the switches and released walkways for those who couldn't fly.

"At this rate, he'll take too long. I'm going in as well." Tails told the others, then flew off.

"Not without me." Cream said as she followed Tails.

"Typical of engaged couples. I've seen it before." Rouge commented, then flew off after them.

With the flyers and Armand's grapple hook, the walkways were soon connected.

"Now for Eggman Nega." Sonic said, determined.

They found him in the engine room, trying to get more power into the station. As expected, Armand stepped up first.

"Stop right there, Nega." Armand shouted.

"Not now. I'm busy." Nega told him.

"Yes, now." Sonic said.

Nega then turned his attention to them.

"So, all of the heroes in one place? Ah, Armand. I didn't know it was you who spoke up first." Nega said.

"Shut it, Nega. You're going to pay for my family's death."

"Ah, yes. Your dear mother and father, whom I had the pleasure of killing." He decided to rub it in. "I so enjoyed watching you cry for your dead father."

"THAT'S IT!! I'LL KILL YOU!!" Armand roared.

"Isn't that harsh, Armand?" Sonic asked.

"Shut up, Sonic. This is my battle."

"No way. I'm in too."

"Back off or else."

"You want to fight me?"

"I will if you don't shut up!"

"Knock it off, Armand."

Amy tried to break it up.

"Armand, can't you calm down?" Amy asked.

At that point, Armand turned to Amy, set his laser to low power, and shot her with it. The shot didn't hurt Amy but it pushed Sonic over his limit.

"Sorry. Nothing personal, Amy."

"NOTHING PERSONAL!! YOU DELIBERATELY SHOT HER!! YOU'RE DEAD NOW!!" Sonic yelled.

"Fine then. Come and get me."

The battle began. Sonic and Armand went at each other. Sonic used his trademark Spin Dash as Armand used Shuttle Dash (Think of it as the same as Blaze's Burst Dash). The two bounced off of each other like pinballs. The red field around Armand had the same effect as Sonic's ball form. They soon went out of it. Sonic used a homing attack as Armand used his Laser Shot. The lasers missed Sonic, but the homing attack hit Armand dead center. At that point, Armand decided that was enough.

"Alright, Sonic. You brought this upon yourself."

Armand started charging up a laser between his palms, the laser originating from the laser watch. Once it was fully charged…

"MEGA LASER!!"

The laser came at Sonic so fast that he didn't have time to dodge it. The laser hit Sonic dead on. Sonic then decided it was time.

"Good move. Now for mine."

Sonic charged up a blue energy sphere in his hand.

"SONIC WIND!!"

The energy wind caught Armand in the dead center of the vortex. Armand was thrown to one end of the platform they were fighting on. Sonic was at the other end.

"Stop it, Armand. This isn't going to change anything."

"Like you care. You won't let me kill him. HE KILLED MY PARENTS!!"

"I know, but you can't just kill him outright."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying you need to calm down before going after him."

"Shut up. I've had it."

"Have it your way then."

At that moment, a purple energy aura surrounded Armand as a blue energy aura surrounded Sonic. The two then charged at each other. The energies clashed, creating a shockwave that knocked everyone down. Even so, they didn't stop. Armand slowly gained an advantage, but lost it. Sonic then gained it, but lost it just as quickly. The stalemate went on for a while until…

"SONIC BURST!!"

Sonic then unleashed a burst of speed that knocked Armand back. He landed on the ground, tired from the battle. Sonic was also tired, but glad that Armand was back to normal.

"Sonic, I'm sorry for getting all worked up. I wasn't thinking clearly." Armand apologized.

"It's okay, Armand." Sonic said. "But I do understand why you went berserk. Having a madman kill your parents can ruin anyone's day."

Sonic helped Armand up. They looked around for Eggman Nega.

"He's gone." Armand said.

Just then, they heard a scream. They turned around.

"AMY!" Sonic yelled.

Amy had been captured by Eggman Nega. He also picked up Silver.

"SILVER!" Blaze called.

"Ah ha ha ha. Two rats caught in my trap." Nega said as he looked at his captives.

"Let us go, you madman." Amy demanded.

"Oh, I don't think so." Nega told her. He then left.

"NO!!" Sonic yelled.

It was too late. Nega had made his escape.

"Now how do we catch him?" Blaze asked.

"Anyone need a lift?" They heard a voice ask.

Eggman then appeared in a ship.

"I just happen to know where Eggman Nega went. I can take you there." Eggman told them.

"And why should we trust you?" Sonic asked.

"Do you want to see Amy again or not?" Eggman asked.

Sonic saw no other way.

"Alright, I guess. Blaze, come along. Armand, stay with the others. You need to rest up." Sonic told Armand.

"You got it." Armand replied.

Sonic and Blaze got in the craft and strapped themselves in as Eggman pulled off.

End of chapter 11.

Sonic and Blaze pursue Eggman Nega to rescue Amy and Silver. Will they succeed?

Also, where are the last of the emeralds? Easy, everyone. The heroes will get them in the next chapter. Who said I had to follow the game to every last plot line?
