Here we are! The final battle! Nothing else to add.
Enjoy and please review!
The fight for the fate of the 3 universes was on as hedgehog and limbless creature charged ahead.
GLaDOS was shooting red lasers out of her eye at the 2 heroes, who dodged them via flying between them and rolling away from them. Rayman charged one of his punches as he was running away and avoiding the incoming red lights. When it was fully charged, he shot it right into the robot's eye. Sonic was flying towards the eye, curling into a ball as he hit GLaDOS right on the target.
The attacks seemed to do the trick, as the robot was showing signs of damage, and the 2 were sure they had a strategy going. "I guess the eye is our target?" Rayman asked for confirmation.
Sonic nodded. "It sure is." And he speeded off towards GLaDOS again. The evil robot wasn't ready to give up just yet, as she shot more lasers at the golden hedgehog. Sonic dodged them and when he was close enough, he rolled around in place, blue electricity like sparks surrounding his body and resulting in a blue energy pattern going straight into GLaDOS's eye.
Rayman was using his helicopter hair to fly in front of the robot's eye, and as he was facing it he started to use all of his strength to punch and kick the apparent weak spot. He finished his attack with another charged golden fist right into it.
Those attacks seemed to do the trick as GLaDOS's head hit the supposed ground and gave the impression she was defeated. As the group back in New-York was happy at the fall of this thing, Sonic and Rayman weren't so happy just yet.
A second later, the electricity cables holding GLaDOS in the air started glowing with green lights, implying she was using Green Eco to keep herself active. A look of horror appeared on Sonic and Rayman's face at this feature.
"Nice try." The villainies female robot commented. "But you are truly stupid if you though these worthless attacks could kill me."
Sonic shifted his look towards the wires holding her. "You keep her busy; I'll cut those wires." Rayman nodded as he headed for another head to head conformation with GLaDOS. This time however, Rayman wasn't really attacking her but more distracting her. She tried to shot lasers at him but he just kept dodging away.
Rayman's plan was working as Sonic remained hidden, waiting for the right moment. The hedgehog took that time to roll in place, summoning rays of light around him, and when the time was right he was flying towards the wires at light speed; hitting them hard every time. GLaDOS had no idea how he was continuously hitting her like that, but she wasn't going to let him win. She started to spin in place in a great speed, blocking Sonic away from reaching her.
Sonic flew away from the hit he suffered and when he regained his senses, he noticed GLaDOS powering up with red, yellow, blue and green lights glowing around her, alongside with the Chaos Emeralds and thousands of lums spinning around her.
"What is she doing?" Rayman started to get worried.
"You are tougher than I thought." The robot complemented. "But it is really time to end this little game." As the power from all the Eco's, lums and Emeralds went through her, she released an enormous multi-colored laser at Rayman.
Sonic quickly got in front of him and tried to block the laser out with the Emeralds' power. The golden hedgehog held his hands forward as he was pushing something away. He gave it everything he had… They didn't come this far just in order to fail against some frustrated robot. Sonic continued to fight the laser off, constant encouragement from their team was somewhat audible to him, but it just wasn't enough.
In a split second noticed, the laser cut through Sonic's defense and struck both him and Rayman; canceling Sonic's super form and Rayman's golden fists. Both heroes fell to the ground, unconscious and defeated.
"Now that they are out of the way, it's time to move on with the plan." GLaDOS said to herself, as Eggman and Razorbeard were still unconscious after their fight with Sonic and Rayman.
Back in New-York, the team couldn't believe what they just witness. There was no other way to interpret it, both were lying there, hurt all over because of what hurt them, and they didn't move. "No…" Tails was the first to speak. "You don't think…"
The fox was on the bricks of crying; the rest weren't holding their emotions in so well themselves. Merida was the first to really crack as she hugged the closest person next to her, which turned out to be Hiccup. He returned the hug, trying to comfort her as Toothless nudged his shoulder; also trying to show his support and sadness.
Michelangelo was also holding his head down, and so did Ratchet and Clank. Sly took his hat off and pointed it to his chest while bowing his head in respect. Daxter also wiped away some tears when Jak started speaking. "Come on, guys. We can't let that stop us! I know this is hard for all of us, but these 2 wouldn't have want us to just give up after coming this far!" He said with determination.
"Jak is right." Sly then said. "We are no longer fighting just to save our friends, families or our universes. We are going to avenge the founders of this group!"
After a few minutes of silence, Tails remembered what he promised Sonic before he and Rayman left for the portal. Not wanting to disappoint his best friend, he spoke up. "I can fly someone up there."
"Toothless can carry me, Merida and probably 2 more." Hiccup added with the princess nodding in conformation. Sly also tightened the grip on his cane.
"I will bring Ratchet up there." Clank said.
Michelangelo got his Nun-Chucks out. "I'm in."
Jak smiled, knowing he got the team motivated. "Now let's go!"
But as soon as they were about to move out, Ratchet noticed the Master Emerald glowing a bit in the portal he opened. "Um, guys?" He managed to get them to look at the portal.
As the Master Emerald continued to shine brighter and brighter, GLaDOS's attention was caught by it. "What is the meaning of this?" She asked as the Chaos Emeralds laying on the ground seemed to be getting bigger and bigger in size. Once all 7 reached the same size, they floated in the air towards the fallen bodies of Sonic and Rayman. Floating in a circle shape around them, the Emeralds started to spin again, lifting both of them off the ground. At that moment, both were covered with a giant burst of bright light.
The group all gasped at the sight before Tails recognized what was happening. "Super Emeralds." He said, causing everyone to quickly look at him, before turning their gaze back to the portal.
As the light was still on, Eggman and Razorbeard regained consciousness and witness the event. "I can't believe it…" Eggman gasped.
"What's happening?" Razorbeard asked.
"A very bad thing." He replied before calling for His 2 robotic sidekicks. "Orbot! Cubot! It's time to get out of here!"
"Right away, sir!" Orbot said as he and Cubot pushed the Eggmobile towards the doctor. Eggman jumped in, started his vehicle, and together with his robots, exited the portal back to his own universe and world. The group didn't even noticed him coming out of the portal, as they were to focused on the light.
"Wait!" Razorbeard called after the evil doctor, clearly not wanting to experience this by himself.
The light vanished to reveal Sonic and Rayman facing down with one leg bent down and one hand on the ground. When they got up and faced GLaDOS, their appearances were vastly different.
Sonic had his quills up, like in his super form, and his eyes were red just like in that form as well. But instead of his fur turning to golden yellow, his fur changed colors every half a second; varying from blue, yellow, green, silver, pink, light blue and red.
Rayman's fists were glowing in the same colors as Sonic's fur, and his body changed colors from purple to blue.
"What is that?" GLaDOS asked, shocked. "I killed you."
"You really think you can kill us with a laser?" Sonic asked, as his scolding face turned into a confident smirk.
Rayman was still examining himself, not believing his new look. "What happened to us?" He asked.
"Hyper state, buddy." Sonic answered him with a smile. "Same strategy as before." He added before he disappeared in a flash of light, striking GLaDOS's wires with no effort and no break.
Rayman might have been confused by his new look, but he didn't question Sonic's advice as he flew right into GLaDOS's face with his helicopter hair. She tried to fire a laser at him, but he managed to block it away with his color changing hands. The limbless creature's smirk grew as he started punching the eye again with such power that he never knew was in him before. After a few punches, Rayman noticed Sonic was done cutting the wires as the robot was falling to the ground. Rayman descended to the ground and started charging his fist. "Heads up, Sonic!" Rayman told the hedgehog before he upper-cut GLaDOS into the air, only to be met with Sonic's powerful spindash.
The evil robot was no more, lying on the ground with a gaping hole replacing the eye that was once there, electric sparks flying from it. "Strike!" Sonic called in victory, before looking at all the capsules. "Now, we can free all of them." He said while pointing at a console lying nearby.
Rayman nodded before he punched the machine. As soon as he did that, all the capsules emptied from the figures containing them, who were probably teleporting back to their respective universe and world.
Just then, Sonic landed back on the ground, transforming back to his regular self. Rayman also powered down and both high-fived each other at a job well done.
Back on earth, the group was cheering at their victory and over the rescue of their friends and families. The happiness was short lived however, when Hiccup noticed something. "Hey, is it me, or is the portal closing?" He asked, pointing everyone's attention towards the portal.
Sonic and Rayman noticed the event as well and the hedgehog was ready for a quick exit. "Grab my hand." He told Rayman. The limbless hero did as he was told and took the hedgehog's hand. Sonic then sped off to exit this place before the portal closes, leaving Razorbeard behind. The hedgehog was trying this before, reaching his top speed. But before it was just for fun, now his life depended on him going at the fastest speed he can achieve; he sure wished he didn't power off from his hyper state just now.
Sonic closed his eyes, holding on to Rayman's hand tightly for he didn't want to drop him, and as he felt the sound barrier around him… He urged himself faster, being only a few inches away from the portal, when it was a few inches away from closing.
Everyone was holding their breath, watching as the portal was almost closed. But before it could have been closed forever and the void being unreachable again, the group saw 2 more things coming out of it… A blue hedgehog and a limbless creature…
Few, that was one heck of a fight to write! I hope you enjoyed it just as much I had fun writing it!
I knew since the very beginning of this saga, that I'm putting Hyper Sonic in the final fight! "Hyper Rayman" let's call him that, is based on Rayman's japanese design, where his body is blue and not purple. The color changing hands were my touch.
So, we aren't done yet! We have 2 chapters left to go, so I'll see you then!
Enjoy and please review!
