Sonic Extended Generations
Chapter Six: Prove it to You...
When 'Modern' Sonic noticed the large water monster emerged from the flooded skyscrapers and floating pavements, he couldn't help but feel slightly intimidated...
"Okay... so, I'm going up against Perfect Chaos again..." He said to himself. "Except this time, the only Chaos Emeralds that have been found are with Mini-Me..." It was at this moment that Sonic started running over the still-sturdy roads. "Yeah... this should be interesting..."
As Sonic began to approach the monster, Perfect Chaos created small cyclones within the water to distract the hedgehog while attempting to attack him with its water tentacles! But because Sonic started using the Boost, he was too fast for any of Chaos' attacks. In fact, he managed to Boost right into the monster's stomach, curled up into a ball and spiraled his way up through Chaos, attacking its brain before landing on a road above water level!
"Huh... maybe this won't be so tough after all..." Sonic thought before jumping to the next above water platform and hopped from building-to-building... while Perfect Chaos fires spike bombs from its back at the hedgehog, Sonic uses his Quick Step to avoid them easily! Sonic then leaps off of a building, and strikes Chaos in the brain with a Homing Attack from the outside before landing on another road floating in the water. "Yeah. This is totally gonna be easier than I thought..." As Sonic closed in on Chaos by running on water again, the beast fired a massive beam at the hedgehog, who managed to avoid it using the Quick Step! "Order up! One Chaos brain, Spin Dashed to perfection!" Sonic Boosted into Chaos' stomach and Spin Dashed up to its brain, damaging it before landing on another rooftop.
As Perfect Chaos roared in anger, it used water spouts to raise some chunks of the road and buildings up into the air.
"Well... this is new..." Sonic exclaimed as he witnessed what was happening. Just as Sonic began hopping from one platform to another, Chaos fired more spike bombs and tried grabbing him with its water tentacles. Chaos then started building up energy in its mouth as Sonic got closer to its head... and as Sonic jumped, Chaos fired another beam, but Sonic dodged it at the last second and managed to hit Chaos' brain once again, causing to writhe around in pain. And after one last painful roar, Chaos fell back into the water, spitting out a yellow Chaos Emerald in the process. "A Chaos Emerald! Sweet!" Sonic managed to catch the Emerald and fall through a light portal in the process!
Seconds later, 'Modern' Sonic returned to the everyone started calling the 'White Space', where everyone was waiting for him... and 'Modern' Amy managed to give him another hug!
"I was so scared for you, Sonic!" She told him as she started putting the squeeze on him.
"Honestly, I was too." Added 'Modern' Tails, before 'Modern' Amy let the older blue hedgehog go. "I mean, how did you manage to beat Perfect Chaos without ANY Emeralds?" Sonic just shrugged in response.
"Chaos just seemed a lot easier to beat for some reason..." 'Modern' Sonic pointed out, while 'Classic' Amy was just in awe of what 'Modern' Sonic had accomplished.
"Maybe it's because you have more experience than the first time?" Asked 'Classic' Knuckles. 'Modern' Sonic shrugged again, before 'Classic' Sonic Spin Dashed through his older self, looking angry.
"Hey, what gives?!" Asked 'Modern' Sonic as 'Classic' Tails arrived, and he looked pretty grumpy too...
"Why would you attack your younger self, Sonic?!" The younger fox asked before 'Modern' Tails held him back by his tails. 'Modern' Sonic just looked confused as 'Classic' Sonic was being held back by 'Modern' Amy.
"These two think YOU attacked 'Classic' Sonic." 'Modern' Tails pointed out, making 'Modern' Sonic place his palm over his face.
"Look guys, it's just a misunderstanding, that's all." He told them. "If you wanna come with me to the next area, I'm sure we'll find who attacked you." 'Classic' Sonic nodded in agreement, but he gave 'Modern' Sonic the stink-eye as they walked towards a steep road with tall houses on either side...
When both blue hedgehogs arrived within the city, they both heard rumbling getting closer...
"Whoa. You feel that?" 'Modern' Sonic asked, making 'Classic' Sonic look up with a worried expression on his face. Seconds later as they turned their heads behind them, a large truck with 'GUN' on its bumper plate appeared from the road behind them, and was closing in on them fast! "Yikes! I think the guy driving that truck is a little crazier than I remember... how 'bout we split up?" 'Classic' Sonic reluctantly agreed, allowing 'Modern' Sonic to race off in another direction, only for the truck to still follow his younger self!
Once 'Classic' Sonic reached a park, he turned around and noticed that there was no truck following him, making him sigh with relief... until he saw strange looking robots land in front of him. They were all human-shaped, but they were all black with white, had red and yellow markings on them, aswell as a GUN emblem on their chestplates. Not long after they landed, the robots all took aim at Sonic, which resulted in him Spin Dashing through all of them, destroying them in the process! Sonic then raced up to the rooftops, only to find armed, floating robots in a similar colour scheme waiting for him... they fired at Sonic, but he managed to dodge their attacks and bounce off of them to reach another rooftop that lead down to an alleyway. On the walls of the alley, Sonic spotted a couple WANTED posters, aswell as some MISSING posters, and even a few posters with Sonic on them. One WANTED poster the headshots of a green duck and a yellow polar bear, with the names 'Bean the Dynamite' and 'Bark the Polar Bear' underneath them. The other WANTED poster had a purple weasel with a brown hat and one large fang sticking out of his mouth. Underneath his headshot was 'Nack the Weasel OR Fang the Sniper'. As for the MISSING posters, they all had the headshots of a yellow flying squirrel, aswell as a red-and-black armadillo. Above the pictures was 'MISSING - Since 1993,' while underneath was 'Ray the Flying Squirrel & Mighty the Armadillo - Have you seen them?' While posters with Sonic on them appeared to be movie posters that had a few more familiar faces on them; Sonic looked a little cramped as Tails did a victory pose on one side of him, Amy was snuggling up to Sonic on the other side, while a green echidna who looked like Knuckles who had one hand on top of Sonic's head as he pumped his fist into the air from behind. The title for this 'movie' was 'Chaos on Mobius - Founding the Freedom Fighters.' Sonic was certainly confused to see all of this... but once he was back out in the open, the truck that was following him earlier had smashed its way through a house! Sonic managed to get his hands on a skateboard and jump off a few ramps to get out of the truck's reach, but he didn't count on the truck releasing more of the same robots from earlier! Sonic kicked the skateboard at one of the robots, but the robot sliced it in half with its one hand. Little did it know that it was just a distraction so Sonic could Spin Jump on its head, allowing the young hedgehog to pass through.
'Classic' Sonic managed to get pass the robots, only for the truck to chase him into what appeared to be a dead end with more floating robots shooting at him from above! While spotting the floating robots however, Sonic also noticed that the platforms were stacked up pretty high, with a few floating platforms in between them aswell. Sonic started climbing the stacked platforms, but the truck drove through one of the towers, causing it to fall down before it turned out of the dead end and did it to the other set that Sonic was on! Sonic managed to get out of the driver's way, but it resulted in the other tower getting shorter... Sonic continued to climb higher as the truck kept crashing through the towers, but once the driver noticed how high Sonic had gotten, he pulled out of the dead end and drove around another road. About a minute later, 'Classic' Sonic made it to the top of the towers and ran off of the connecting rooftop, only to find the truck racing off a nearby ramp in order to chase the hedgehog! As he and the truck raced down the hilly road, Sonic spotted a thick post keeping the connecting bridge above the city. And while Sonic barely scraped the surface of the post, the truck crashed right into it, causing the truck to fall onto its side. And after a quick victory dance, 'Classic' Sonic started racing through the city again, hoping to catch his older self...
Meanwhile, 'Modern' Sonic had been holding onto the outside of a GUN helicopter, just waiting for the right moment to escape...
"Well, at least this time I haven't been captured..." He said to himself as he ripped a thin piece of the helicopter's hull off and attached it to his feet. "But still... I'd rather run!" After saying that, 'Modern' Sonic fell off of the helicopter with a smirk on his face, before deciding to do a few stunts as he fell down to the city below. "YEAH!" Eventually, 'Modern' Sonic landed on the road and he started sliding down it on his 'board.' "Rolling around at the speed of sound, got places to go, gotta follow my rainbow!" He sang as he avoided the traffic and jumped off of ramps and performed more tricks. "Can't stick around, have to keep moving on, cause what lies ahead only one way to find out! Man, I haven't heard that song in AGES... I guess running through this place has got me rememberin' the sweet sounds. Could do without the GUN 'bots, though..." While the humanoid robots were creating obstacles for Sonic, he swerved through them, and even ducked under a car that had its front bumper on top of another car! Soon, Sonic jumped off of the 'board' and landed in an area filled with floating robots that took aim at the hedgehog. "Heh. You Beetles couldn't stop me then..." With a series of Homing Attacks, 'Modern' Sonic destroyed the floating robots as if they were nothing! "...and there's no way you can stop me now!"
After dealing with more GUN robots, 'Modern' Sonic raced through the park, taking out more robots along the way! He soon along a wall with posters like the ones 'Classic' Sonic encountered, but one was different, and it caught Sonic's eye... "Follow me... set me free... trust me, and we-whoa... wow, she's beautiful..." He said as he looked at a female chipmunk on a 'movie' poster; She had red hair and was wearing a light-blue vest & boots, while Sonic was just shrugging in the forest-like town background. The squirrel even had a speech bubble on the poster; "What? Just because I'm a Princess, I can't have my own story?"
"Wait... more of this 'Chaos on Mobius' stuff?" Said Sonic, suddenly feeling confused. "I've never even met this girl, and I'm on the poster! Still... 'An Annoyed Acorn'... I'd better check that out once we get out of this mess..."
Once 'Modern' Sonic ran off of a ledge, he heard a familiar roaring sound from behind...
"Whoa, boy!" He said with excitement on his face as he saw what was behind him: Another truck from GUN, except this one revealed three buzzsaws from within its trailer! "Now THAT'S what I call a challenge!" The truck managed to keep up with Sonic as they raced through the tight corners of the city, and the truck kept trying to attack with its buzzsaws, but they only kept hittting the road instead of Sonic. Soon, Sonic and the GUN truck left the narrow streets and ended up on a road above the buildings where they both had plenty of room to move around. Fortunately, this meant there was plenty more space for Sonic to dodge attacks. "Sorry buddy, you're too slow!" Once Sonic jumped onto the side of a building and started running along it, the truck raced off of the road, activated some kind of magnetic lock which attached itself to the buildings, and also traded the buzzsaws for rocket engines that actually made it catch up to Sonic even faster! "Well, it's been fun, but this is where I get off. Later!" While Sonic squeezed through the two buildings with little space in between them, the truck crashed into them, causing a massive explosion as 'Modern' Sonic found a certain bat talking to 'Classic' Sonic...
"...that thing that snatched me was like nothing I've ever seen. Watch out." The bat warned 'Classic' Sonic, before she got a good look at the younger hedgehog... "Come to think of it, you're nothing like the Sonic I've seen before!"
"And here I thought you could tell us hedgehogs apart, Rouge..." Said 'Modern' Sonic as he approached the two.
"Very funny, Big Blue." Rouge sarcastically replied. "Then again, your little friend here is no better, saying that you attacked him..." This made 'Classic' Sonic look back at his older self in anger. Little did he know that a certain black hedgehog was watching from the rooftops above...
"I know." 'Modern' Sonic replied. "I'm getting a little annoyed by people still mistaking me for him..." This made 'Classic' Sonic confused. Especially when 'Modern' Sonic closed his eyes. "I know you're up there, Shadow. Show yourself!" It was then that a black hedgehog with red stripes jumped down to their level, as a portal appeared, leading to a red suspension bridge at night.
"Hmph. I guess you could say I can't tell blue hedgehogs apart either..." The black hedgehog pointed out as he angrily stared at 'Classic' Sonic, making the younger hedgehog nervous.
"Why'd you do it, Shadow?" Asked 'Modern' Sonic. "Do you know what's going on here?"
"No, I don't. And quite frankly, I don't care." Shadow replied, making both Sonics angry. "All I want is to challenge you to a race in the next area. Win, and you can continue your journey."
"And if I lose?" Asked 'Modern' Sonic.
"I take your place, and teach whoever's behind this a lesson." 'Modern' Sonic then shook Shadow's hand before the black hedgehog jumped into the portal.
"While I'd put my money on Shadow, I think you'd still have a chance, Sonic." Rouge pointed out, making 'Modern' Sonic give her the thumbs-up before he and 'Classic' Sonic jumped into the portal after Shadow...
