"Eggman!" Sonic and Flash shouted in unison. Eggman lowered his machine so he could talk to the two hedgehogs. "Let her go!" Sonic yelled. "Ohohoho, that's cute, the hero is worried about his girlfriend." Eggman laughed as he tightened the grip of the claw causing Amy to struggle to even breath.
"Let her go!" Sonic yelled as he homing attacked the machine, but ultimately the attack failed and Sonic was knocked back. "Ugh, what happened?" "Why didn't it work." Sonic asked. Flash looked at the machine and noticed something familiar about it.
"That's the machine that Eggman used in the future, not only that but on further inspection he seems to be really wounded." Then it suddenly hit Flash. "No, could it be?" Flash asked as he inspected Eggman's wounds closer.
Eggman turned to Flash and gave him an evil glare. "Oh ho ho, did you think I forgot about you Flash?" Eggman asked which confirmed Flash's suspicions. "How did he know you Flash?" Sonic asked. "Sonic, this is not the same Eggman from your time period, this is the Eggman from my time period, the one that killed you!" Flash screamed.
"Oh ho ho, you're correct my boy." Eggman said to Flash. "After all, I should thank properly thank you for the beating you gave me!" Eggman said as he fired lasers at Flash. Flash began to dodge the lasers as fast as he could.
"Sonic, free Amy and get her to safety!" Flash instructed. "Leave Eggman to me." Flash said to Sonic. "Right, got it." Flash and Sonic began to repeatedly homing attack Eggman's robot, but ultimately failed due to the shield protecting Eggman.
"How are we going to get through that shield?" Sonic asked. Flash began to think while dodging Eggman's attacks until he felt something in his quills. "Huh, what is that?" Flash pulled out a chaos emerald from his head. "Huh, I guess it came with me, Sonic catch!" Flash threw the chaos emerald at Sonic to power him up. "Thanks buddy." Sonic replied as the chaos emeralds power welled up within him.
The power from the chaos emerald gave Sonic enough strength to penetrate the shield and break the claw that was holding Amy captive. Sonic carried Amy bridal style inside the house while Flash tried to hold off for them.
"Tell me Eggman, how'd you get back in time?" Flash asked in anger. "You think your buddy Tails was the only one with a time machine?" Eggman replied in boast. "But mine was more superior than his, I didn't need a chaos emerald user to send me back, I could just do it myself with the six chaos emeralds I have.
Eggman pulled out the six chaos emeralds and showed them off to Flash. "See, you'll never win against me as long as I have these.
At that moment, Flash knew what he had to do, he had never done this before but it was his only hope. "Bad idea." Flash said as he summoned all 7 chaos emeralds to his side and began to change into his super form.
At that moment, Tails woke up from being unconscious and Sonic went outside to see what was going on. "Hey what happened to the chaos emer-oh." Sonic looked up and saw the glowing gold hedgehog ready to strike down Eggman.
"Oh crud." Eggman said as he knew what was coming to him. "Eggman, i'm going to finish what I started!" Flash said in rage as he blindingly ran right through Eggman's mech. "Woah, he can do that?" Sonic said in aw. "Sonic there's something you need to know." Tails said to Sonic.
"What is it?" Sonic asked. "Flash is your." But Tails's sentence was interrupted by a loud explosion followed by Eggman and Flash falling from the sky. "Flash!" Sonic yelled as he jumped up and caught him. "Ugh, don't worry i'm fine." Flash replied.
Once Sonic landed he set Flash onto the ground and saw Eggman plummet to the surface. "This must've been your first time going into your super form." Sonic said to Flash. "How'd ya know?" Flash asked. "Because you couldn't stay in it for very long." Sonic replied. "Well now that Eggman's down, I can count on my dad here to teach me."
Sonic was struck still for a moment. "Wait, did you say?" "Sonic!" Amy ran out and hugged Sonic from behind. "Oh i'm glad you're safe!" Amy said as she hugged Sonic. Amy noticed to look on Sonic's face and let go of Sonic, she could tell something was up. "Sonic what's wrong?" Amy asked.
Sonic looked over at Flash. "Flash just called me dad." Sonic replied. Amy gasped. "Wait, so Flash is your son from the future, well that would explain his speed and super capabilities." It wasn't long till Amy figured out the other half of the truth.
"Then that means i'm the mother!" Amy yelled in joy which startled Tails for a moment. "Great she figured it out, well Sonic does seem to be taking it pretty well, maybe Flash should confirm the truth." Tails thought to himself.
Flash turned and looked at his young parents. "Mom, Dad, it was great to see you, and now that this is over I can't wait to be with you aga." Flash didn't finish his sentence, time seemed to move still for a moment as a bullet wound went through Flash's chest and he fell to the ground.
"Flash!" Amy yelled as she ran over to Flash. Sonic saw Eggman on the ground holding a gun in his hand. "Dang it, I missed." Eggman said out of breath. "And that's the last firearm you'll ever use." Sonic said in calm anger and spindashed right towards Eggman's head.
Sonic began to homing attack and spindash Eggman over and over while Tails and Amy tried to help Flash who was dying. "What do we do?" Amy asked Tails in fear. "The wound seems to have teared some of his lung tissue, there's no way we can save him." Tails said to Amy as he began to cry. "NOOOOO!" Amy shouted as tears ran down her face like a waterfall.
Sonic continued to attack Eggman till his last dying breath, and with one final homing attack to his back, he had successfully killed Eggman. "May you never harm anyone again." After Sonic was done he ran over to his son who was on his last dying breath.
"How is Flash?" Sonic asked. Sonic saw Tails and Amy crying while he saw the wounded hedgehog on the ground bleeding and struggling to breath. "Mom, Dad, i'm scared." Flash uttered. "Don't be scared Flash, it'll be ok." Sonic pulled out went and got a chaos emerald from the field and returned to help heal Flash.
Sonic sniffed and began to try and heal Flash's wounds. "It'll be ok, I promise." Sonic said to comfort his son as he tried to hold back his tears. "Dad, that was the Eggman from the future, look out for the Eggman from your time." And with those words, Flash died.
"Flash, Flash, Flash!" Sonic yelled as he began to cry. "No, I wasn't fast enough, had I treated him immediately I could have saved his life, but no I let my anger get in the way and now he's dead!" Sonic yelled as he began to cry.
At that moment Flash's body began to glow and start to fade away. "What's going on?" Tails asked. "I don't know!" Amy yelled as Flash's body began to fade away. "Flash wait!" Sonic yelled. But it was too late, Flash's body had faded away from existence.
"What happened?" Amy asked. "Something must have happened to alter his existence, maybe by today's events we erased his future." Tails said to Amy. "But how did we erase his future?" Sonic asked. "That wasn't the Eggman from our time!" Sonic yelled.
"But, what if future Eggman's presence did something to alter the current Eggman's presence?" Tails asked. Sonic and Amy dried up there tears and shrugged. "This may be a theory, but if Future Eggman's presence erased the existence of current Eggman, then by killing Future Eggman, we've locked him in our time period, thus erasing both Eggman's. Tails concluded.
"But what about Flash?" Sonic asked. "Don't worry, Flash doesn't exist yet, so it's unlikely that he did anything to harm himself currently." Tails replied. Sonic and Amy stood up and looked at the sky. "It's sad I know, but that won't be the last time we see him." Sonic said as he looked at Amy. "We'll see him soon." Amy said as she rested her head on Sonic's shoulders.
