"Looks like you were right, Silver. The Doom Express is back for another pummeling." Sonic stated."Guess the chase is on! Let's go."

Sonic ran after the Doom Express, faster now that he was free of the Ball and Chain. He gained speed quickly, and was soon right under the train. He got up to it with the Wisps to propel him. He was just on the caboose. He whistled, and Knuckles came and punched a hole through it. He climbed through and found himself fighting a bunch of resurrectors. He went hyper and smacked one into the others. He snapped and went back to normal to conserve energy. In the next car, he heard Eggman.

"All aboard. Next stop: Doom! Hahahahaha!" He cackled.

"Heh heh! I've lost count of how many times I've spoiled your plans! What makes you think you'll win this time? Seriously!"

"Grrrrr! Here's how! Remember the first time you defeated me? Well, this car is a reenactment of that, except I made some major improvements. Take this!"

A piston came and crushed Sonic, causing him to lose his rings."No!"He kicked the piston many times, but it was no use. He called Shadow for help. Shadow destroyed all the pistons with Chaos Spears.

"What's this? How can you say you defeated me when you got so much help?"

"I won't, I'll say we defeated you. Like I said Shadow, it's better with friends."

"I guess." Shadow considered.

"Well, I'mna go see the next car." Sonic announced.

"Be careful, Sonic" Silver warned over the communicator."The next one's a deathtrap!"

"In my world, deathtrap is just another word for cakewalk! Trust me." Sonic insisted. He walked through the door and found himself almost dropped into the magma that the train was flying over.

"Still think it's a cakewalk?"

"I'm gonna have to give you that one, this is gonna be hard."

The car had tilting floors in a centipede fashion with no ceiling. Sonic was able to grab the wall to keep from falling. There were flying resurrectors below. He homing attacked them to get to the next car, which had many lasers. Amy came in and defended him with her hammer, also using it to destroy the turrets.

"Thanks, Amy." This caused her leg to pop.

He moved on to the fifth car to find a familiar face.

"Metal? Long time no see!"

Metal started charging at him, making strange noises.

"Hey, what happened to your voice? You used to sound so cool, but now you can't even talk." Sonic commented as he dodged Metal's attacks.

"Maybe you've got something in your throat? Let's check." He punched Metal in the back, sending him flying.

"Ah, my voice is back, but must you toy around with me?"

"Sorry, it's what I do!" Sonic started a spindash, and Metal did the same. They collided in the middle of the car.

"I know everything you're going to do!" Claimed Metal.

"But that won't help you, because I know everything you're going to do!"

"Strange." Metal commented.

"Isn't it?"

(Sorry, I couldn't resist a few references.)

"I guess it's a matter of power more than strategy, don't you think?"

"You really are my robotic clone, aren't you?" Sonic asked."Eggman did a good job on you, I'll give him that."

"They're just chatting!" Eggman growled."Destroy him, I say! Destroy him!"

Orbot and Cubot popped up.

"I guess he's joined the herd or something." Orbot noted.

"You could say that." Cubot agreed.

"Well, I guess there's nothing I can do, you're stronger than-"

"Quit the act! Even I can see through that ruse of yours." Metal yelled.

"Boohoo!" Sonic kicked Metal across the room, and he smashed into the wall."Well, that was an okay rematch, but not that satisfactory. I'll come back later." Sonic did a fake yawn.

"Well, just two more to go."

I'm just gonna stop here because I want to save the best for last.

See ya later, everybloody!
