Sonic Extended Generations
Chapter Three: Old School Bot Bashin'
Once the young Sonic arrived above a dark city through the portal, he kept running forward, unaware that Metal Sonic was closing in on him... the robot look-alike suddenly fired a large energy beam at the floor, causing it to collapse and Sonic to fall! But when Metal Sonic charged at the young hedgehog, Sonic bounced off of its head before jumping back up to the path. After shaking its head, Metal Sonic charged at Sonic again, but Sonic jumped over the robot and managed to Spin Dash into its back!
"A LUCKY SHOT, AS SOME WOULD SAY..." Muttered Metal Sonic as it flew to the side of the path and began ripping out lightposts, before throwing the lights at Sonic! To avoid Metal Sonic's attack, Sonic adjusted his speed at first, but he then got an idea... Sonic started jumping from light-to-light, eventually hitting Metal Sonic in the process! "CLEVER, SONIC. QUITE CLEVER..." Once Metal Sonic recovered from Sonic's attack, it started building up energy as it flew in front of the young hedgehog. "ENERGY BLAST IN THREE... TWO... ONE..." Sonic managed to hit Metal Sonic with his Spin Jump, preventing the robot from firing. "YOU MAY HAVE PREVENTED ME FROM DESTROYING THE FLOOR YOU PURSUE ME ON... BUT I HAVE OTHER MEANS OF USING THIS ENERGY..." Metal Sonic then unleashed the energy it built up by charging at Sonic with all the force it could muster! While Sonic avoided the robot's direct attack, the outside of Metal Sonic's energy charge did hit the young hedgehog, which resulted in him spasming for a second or two before he managed to escape the falling floor behind him with a Spin Dash.
Witnessing Sonic's recovery, Metal Sonic turned around and flew towards the young hedgehog, only for Sonic to jump up to his attacker. Before Metal Sonic could strike, Sonic sent the robot flying with a strong kick that caused Metal Sonic to explode seconds later! Just as Sonic was celebrating his victory, a portal with a large, egg-shaped human appeared in front of him, making him assume a fighting stance as he beared his teeth.
"Why, hello there, Sonic." Said the fat man in a jolly voice. "I see you managed to defeat my Metal Sonic once again. Why not test your skills against me once more, eh? Enter this portal, if you dare..." Without even thinking, Sonic dashed into the portal, only to find himself in a dark, high-tech area. Sonic stopped when he reached a ledge that looked pretty deep. The young hedgehog came back to his senses when he heard something being raised to his location... it was a rather large robot that resembled the man that talked to Sonic through the portal. Seeing this massive mech, Sonic got to his feet and leapt into battle...
"You will go no further in your journey, Sonic!" Warned the fat man from inside the mech. "Not when I'm finished with you!" The mech launched one of its extendable arms at Sonic, but the hedgehog managed to jump out of harm's way. But that's when the mech jumped up into the air. "I will flatten you!" Before the mech could squash the hedgehog, Sonic Spin Dashed to escape the impact, before he attacked the robot's backside, which made it fall face-first to the floor! The fat man made the mech jump back up into the air to get back on its feet, but Sonic managed to hit its rear-end again, making it fall once more as the lift that was carrying them the whole time rose to what appeared to be the hanger bay of a ship... in space! "Now the real battle begins, Sonic!" The mech floated in for a brief second, thanks to the jet engines on its back, before it stomped on the floor, making Sonic fly up to the higher platforms of the hanger. "All right hedgehog, prepare to be skewered!" The mech started aiming one of its arms at Sonic as he stepped on a switch, making what looked like a bomb to appear. This gave Sonic an idea as he got close to the bomb, making the fat man inside the mech go into a laughing fit. "Haah hahaha! You seriously have a death wish, don't you boy?" He asked the hedgehog, who had a smirk on his face. "Well, how about I sign your death certificate... PERSONALLY!" Just as the fat man made the mech extend the arm out, Sonic jumped out of the way, as the arm impacted the bomb, causing it to explode and leave the mech disabled! "What? No! The controls won't respond!" Sonic quickly jumped up to the disabled mech, ran across its extended arm, and attacked the mech's cockpit with a Spin Jump, causing its systems to overload... "No... NO! This isn't the end, Sonic!"
After a massive explosion that Sonic shielded himself from, all that was left of the massive robot was large, charred debris... and something shining green in the wreckage that caught Sonic's attention... digging through the remains of the robot, Sonic was shocked to find one of the seven Chaos Emeralds!
"Grr... you've won this round, Sonic..." The fat man groaned from a portal far from the hedgehog's location as another opened up near him. "...but the next time we meet, you won't be so lucky..." Sonic and the fat man travelled through their seperate portals, leaving the wreckage behind...
Once Sonic emerges from the portal and arrives in the large white area, he finds a teenage female hedgehog encased in a statue. Confused, Sonic approaches the statue, unaware that the Chaos Emerald he picked up starts shining, which causes the statue to come to life, allowing the hedgehog to move once again... but she looked angry as she allowed a large hammer to appear in her hand...
"Oooh, just you wait until I get my hands on you, Eggman!" She growled as she tightly grasped the hammer, before catching a glimpse of the small blue hedgehog. "Oh, heh-heh... thanks, Sonic. Wow, you look younger every day. What's your secret?" Sonic just shook his head, before he and the older pink hedgehog heard footsteps getting closer...
"THERE you are, Sonic!" Shouted the younger pink hedgehog, who leapt to hug the young blue hedgehog, confusing the older pink hedgehog in the process.
"(Wait a minute... have I travelled back in time or something?)" She asked herself. But before she could ask the younger hedgehogs any questions, they had both disappeared... "Where'd they go? Oh, I'm so confused..."
"And here I thought I told you to stay put, Amy..." Said an older male voice, making Amy feel better when she saw Sonic and Tails approach her. "Where've you been?"
"Sorry Sonic..." She replied. "I actually went into that Casino Night place to help you, but I ran into Eggman... and everything just went all white..."
"That's pretty weird, even for you." Sonic pointed out, making Amy give him an angry look.
"That's not the weird part, Sonic..." She told him and Tails. "When I came to, I was found by what looked like younger versions of you and me..."
"Yeah, right. Something tells me you were dreaming, Amy..." Sonic said to Amy, but what she said made Tails think.
"(So Amy can see them, aswell...)" The fox thought as Sonic and Amy argued. "(And on top of that, there's a younger Sonic, too...)"
"I know what I saw, Sonic!" Amy shouted. "And what I saw was you and me, only smaller!"
"And I'm sayin' it's all in your head!" Sonic yelled back.
"Knock it off, you two!" Shouted Tails. "Look, I'm thinking that there's something really weird going on here... and I'm also thinking that the only way we're going to figure this out is if we keep moving." Tails then pointed to a land filled with mushrooms.
"Those mushrooms sure look bouncy..." Amy pointed out.
"I'll go check it out." Said Sonic. "Now, can I count on you to stay here with Tails this time, Amy?" The girl nodded in response. "All right. Hopefully, I'll be back with some answers..." And with that, Sonic raced into the mushroom land, leaving Tails and Amy to question what they had seen since arriving in this strange world...
At that moment, the younger Sonic had arrived in the large forest that was filled with mushrooms, and he had already started bouncing off of butterfly-like Badniks, when he spotted an echidna around his size.
"Hey Sonic!" He shouted to the hedgehog as he landed near him. "It's been a while, huh?" Sonic didn't seem so happy to see the echidna, so he prepared himself to fight. "Relax, I'm not lookin' for a fight. I am interested in a race, though..." This intrigued the young hedgehog. "Whaddya say? Wanna see who can make it around Mushroom Hill the fastest?" Sonic nodded with a grin, before both the hedgehog and the echidna got down on all fours and prepared to race... "Ready... set... GO!" As the echidna shouted, Sonic just took off into the jungle! "You may be fast, Sonic..." Said the echidna as he ran at a decent pace. "But speed isn't everything when it comes to knowledge of this place..." Seeing Sonic race along the main path, the echidna jumped off the track and started gliding down to another part of the area... "You may have beaten me at what I'm best at, hedgehog... but now I'm gonna beat you at your own game..."
