Disclaimer: nothing in this story is mine except for my OC
The dark freaks suddenly lunged at our heroes (and villain(s)). Ozone stretched his arm like he was going to shoot an energy ball. The next thing that happened surprised Ozone: his arm stretched out further than he anticipated and the hand literally grabbed one of the shadowy intruders by the neck. "That's new… Didn't see that coming." Ozone replied with a bead of sweat flowing down the back of his head. He then shrugged the illogical incident of his and put the unusual ability to work.
Everyone was too busy battling their flanks to notice Ozone's little dilemma, and what yelled next really got their attention. "Everyone: get out of here… I've got a nasty plan for these freaks. If you don't want to get caught in this really nasty attack, then I suggest you guys leave the building." Everyone, except Shadow, did as ordered and fled the base. "What little tactic do you think you're going to do, huh?" the ebony hedgehog snapped back. "I will explain later, but I guess you can help me prepare… round up as many of these bastards near the center of the base, then seal them in. Just make sure to leave one entrance so I can clear them out with a single run" Ozone replied with a pinch on insanity in his voice. Shadow didn't even bother asking any further questions and started to get every one of the dark creatures' attention, well just the ones outside the base. "Eggman's not gonna like what I have in mind, but it is the most effective way to deal with them" Ozone thought to himself.
After what seemed like five minutes, Shadow held up his chaos emerald and generated a force field around Eggman's base. "All right, Ozone. If you die, Don't expect me to bring you back to life. It's your funeral." The ebony hedgehog remarked. Ozone didn't pay attention to Shadow's taunt and forced himself inside Shadow's barrier. Once inside, all the dark creatures tried to dogpile the were-hog, but he simply ran towards the center of Eggman's base. "Sorry Eggman, but this needs to be done."
Shadow rejoined the gang at a nearby hill. "Eggman, you're probably not going to like Ozone's plan. He intends to go berserk, destroying your base in the process" Shadow informed the fat man before sitting down near his blue counterpart. "My, my, my… what's going on boys and girls?" said an unusually familiar voice. The one who said that dropped out of the tree, but was hanging upside down on a branch. The intruder turned out to be none other than Rouge. "Just watch, Rouge. Ozone plans to take out all those dark creatures by himself… but also destroying Eggman's base in the process" Shadow informed the jewel-loving bat before turning his attention back to the carnage that was about to unfold.
Once Ozone was in the center of the base, he stretched out both of his arms and spun wildly. The unusual tactic, in Ozone's eyes, was not to take out the group, but to gather them up. The moment the arms made contact with the shadowy freaks, they were stuck on the ravaging alien's arms. Those that managed to avoid the arms were not as lucky as they hoped because the arms did two things. First was to gather up as many of them onto his arms, second was to create a tornado that will scoop up the rest that managed to avoid the arms.
Eggman couldn't quite see what was happening, so he twisted the spectacles of his glasses, right lens to be specific. When he saw Ozone work his stuff, he was startled by the alien's efficient tactic, then told Shadow to lower the force field now. The ebony hedgehog did just that, and continued watching Ozone's wrath.
Once the majority of the dark creatures were airborne, he quickly electrocuted his arms to add the element of electricity into the hurricane he made. He did that with just his left arm. Ozone wasn't about to stop there because he then charged up his right arm with fire-induced energy. The result was a column of fire in the area with a shocking aftermath (No pun intended) for the survivors. The small fry creatures disintegrated piece by piece into the shadows once defeated, but the dark giants seemed unfazed by the attack.
Eggman was explaining to the group what he was seeing Ozone do (not his attacks since they can see the attack from the hill) and telling the group how much energy he expended just performing the assault. The result was simple: Ozone used 1% of his energy to pull off the feat. This made Shadow somewhat jealous at the alien, and jumped toward Eggman. He grabbed the glasses to make sure Eggman wasn't saying that in favorism. "Hey, give those back Shadow!" the fat man yelled at the ebony hedgehog. Shadow merely ignored Eggman and checked the energy readings of Ozone, and when he saw the results for himself, he stood there like he was paralyzed. While under his 'paralysis', Eggman snatched his spectacles out of Shadow's hands. Once the glasses were back in its owner's possession, he resumed informing the gang about Ozone's status, intentions, and whatnot.
After the column of fire attack was over, Ozone turned around to see who was still alive, and wasn't surprised to see that the giants still standing. "Typical… the big ones can take the hit, no matter how strong the attack and still fight." He muttered to himself before charging straight at the survivors. The ones closest to the alien thrust down their clubs to hit Ozone, but he simply side-stepped the attacks, then jumped up towards his assailants.
Before he could stretch his arms to strike the giants in the face, a sudden heat wave flowed through the area and the dark giants vanished, all of them. "What's happening?" Ozone yelled. "Sonic! It's been a while. Remember me?" a voice rang in the were-hog's head. When Ozone looked up, he saw something that he thought was beautiful to look at. "Uh, I think you've got me mixed up with some other were-hog." Ozone replied to the entity. The one who called Ozone 'Sonic' turned out to be none other than a golden-yellow phoenix with a few very long tails#.
Looks like a new visitor came by and wiped the dark giants out with a heat wave. Who is this phoenix? Why did it come back? What happened to Metal Sonic? The answer to those questions remains the same as the previous chapters: stay tuned for the next episode!
