Sonic Extended Generations
Chapter Thirteen: Time Eating is Egg-Ceptionally Dangerous
The battle begins as Eggman flies further away from Sonic in order to release waves of ice at him.
"FREEZE!" Eggman yelled as he fired a third ice wave at Sonic, but the blue hedgehog just hopped over the waves as he got closer to the robot.
"Too slow, Doc!" Sonic replied, before he landed a Homing Attack on the lower cockpit where Eggman was piloting the robot.
"Grr... Not bad..." Grumbled the doctor. "...but it's time for a change of pace!" As Eggman said that, the arms of the robot were suddenly transformed into two large walls that he slammed on opposite sides of Sonic! Above the walls, a blaster appeared, shooting ice balls down towards Sonic as the walls started closing in... with incredible timing, Sonic managed to Wall Jump between the walls, avoiding the ice balls before landing a hit on Eggman in the upper cockpit with another Homing Attack! "GAH! You little..."
"Hah! Ready to give up yet?" Asked Sonic, feeling cocky as Eggman flew further away from him again.
"Does this answer your question, Sonic?" Eggman angrily asked back as the robot's gun split up to fire lasers in different directions.
"I'll take that as a no..." Sonic replied as the robot suddenly split in two during its laser attack. "Okay... that's new..."
"I warned you, Sonic... now you'll get to see the destructive power of my strongest creation yet! ATTACK!" Once Eggman yelled, the lower half of the robot started firing more ice waves at Sonic as the gun continued firing its lasers at the walls, the ceiling and the floor. As Sonic got closer, he hopped over the ice waves, aswell as the burns on the ground from the lasers. Eventually, Sonic Boosted past the top half of the robot, and landed a Homing Attack on the lower half, since Eggman was in the lower cockpit!
"Grr... enough games, Sonic." Yelled Eggman while the robot reattached itself as it and Sonic stopped at what appeared to be a dead end. "Get a load of THIS!" As Eggman said that, the drill was shoved towards the floor, shattering it in the process, making Sonic fall down below Eggmanland, as the doctor flew after him!
"Jeez, simmer down, Eggman!" Sonic shouted as Eggman started flying in front of him.
"Believe me, I'll feel much better once I'm finished with you!" Eggman replied, before firing his drill at Sonic! Sonic managed to avoid the drill by Jump Dashing out of harm's way. As Sonic dove down towards the robot, he was closing the gap while avoiding Eggman's attacks.
"Take this!" Sonic shouted before hitting Eggman with another Homing Attack. This attack caused the robot to start falling apart as it and Sonic continued falling down the shaft.
"NOOOO!" Screamed Eggman as the grey Chaos Emerald fell out of the robot aswell. As large parts of Eggman's robot fell to the base of the shaft, Sonic safely landed before catching the last Chaos Emerald with a smirk on his face.
Seconds later, Eggman falls out of one of the broken cockpits, making Modern Sonic turn around.
"Sonic!" Shouted Modern Tails as he flew down to meet Modern Sonic with Classic Tails carrying Classic Sonic. Hearing his name, Classic Sonic look at Modern Tails with curiousity in his eyes. "Sorry, not you, Classic Sonic..." As they landed, Eggman groaned as he sat up.
"I can't believe this! I was supposed to beat you this time!" He complained as he smacked the floor with his fists.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't get that memo. I beat you everytime!" Modern Sonic replied before turning to Classic Sonic. "No seriously, we beat this guy everytime. It's like it's our job or something!" Hearing his older self, Classic Sonic couldn't help but laugh, while Modern Tails looked confused.
"What's Eggman even doing here?" He asked before turning to Classic Sonic. "I thought you said he'd been kidnapped by that big weird thing that sent us all to this place..." This made Classic Sonic think before a dark portal appeared above them all. Within no more than three seconds, the big, black monster appeared, swooped in to pick up Eggman and disappeared with Eggman through another dark portal!
"See? He was kidnapped." Classic Tails pointed out. "This is getting stranger all the time..." Before any of them got a chance to think about it, a light portal appeared before them, prompting them all to walk into it...
Only seconds after the Classic and Modern hedgehogs and foxes walked into the White Space, they heard arguing coming from the outside the next gate. The arguing was coming from Vector, Espio and Charmy, who were all in each other's faces.
"I'm tellin' you guys, all we need to get that gate working is brute force!" Vector told them.
"Even if everyone agreed with you Vector, we'd end up breaking the gate entirely!" Espio replied. "What we need to activate the gate is a sample from that time-eating monster."
"Couldn't we just use the Chaos Emeralds to get it working?" Asked Charmy.
"Nah, that's way too obvious, Charmy." Vector told him. "Look, we just need to talk to everyone, and we'll get this thing running, no problem!"
Modern Sonic placed his hand over his face as he approached Silver, Blaze, Cream, Cheese and Marine.
"How long have those three been at this?" He asked them.
"Hard to say, since I'm not sure if time even exists in here..." Silver replied.
"Although if I had to guess, I'd say since they found the gate about an hour ago..." Added Blaze.
"Misters Shadow and Omega are up at the top, figuring this out with Ms. Rouge." Cream pointed out, before Classic Sonic shook Cream's hand in thanks. As the guys walked away from the Chaotix, they also saw Classic Amy and Modern Amy covering each other's ears.
"They're not finished yet!" Shouted Modern Sonic.
"We know!" The pink hedgehogs shouted back, before the guys continued to walk up higher, only for them to spot Classic Knuckles and Modern Knuckles sparring with each other.
"Careful, Modern Knuckles..." Modern Tails warned. "If you knock out Classic Knuckles, it could mean the end for you, too..." This startled Modern Knuckles long enough for Classic Knuckles to knock him out with an uppercut!
A few minutes later, the boys made to the top of the gate, where Team Dark was waiting for them.
"Hmph. Took you long enough..." Shadow pointed out, earning a death stare from Classic Sonic.
"Any idea on how to activate the gate yet?" Asked Modern Tails, but Shadow shook his head.
"NEGATIVE." Stated Omega, making Classic Tails hang his head in disappointment.
"Even though the Chaotix found this place, no one's figured anything out about it yet..." Added Rouge, before Classic Tails and Modern Tails started flying around the broken gears in the area...
"Hey, have you guys seen Jet around here?" Modern Sonic asked Team Dark. "He seemed pretty down after I beat him..."
"Of course he did. Who likes losing to you?" Shadow asked back, making Classic Sonic angry again.
"Answer the question, Shadow. Before Classic Me loses it..." Said Modern Sonic.
"No, I haven't." Shadow replied as Classic Tails and Modern Tails landed back down on the ground.
"Sonic, Sonic! Remember how Modern Me said that we'd need all seven Chaos Emeralds?" Classic Tails asked the Sonics, resulting in both hedgehogs nodding.
"Well, it looks like each Emerald can fit into all seven of these gears." Explained Modern Tails. "And I'm- err, we're thinking that'll be what we need to activate the gate!"
After explaining it to everyone else -except the Chaotix, who were still arguing amongst themselves- the group began placing the Chaos Emeralds into the gears. Classic Tails and Modern Tails were throwing the green Chaos Emerald back and forth as they flew towards the first gear, before they placed it in together. Classic Amy threw the purple Chaos Emerald up to Modern Amy, who hit in into the second gear with her Piko Piko Hammer! Modern Knuckles was gliding towards the third gear, but when he lost too much altitude, he threw the yellow Chaos Emerald to Classic Knuckles who was up higher, and he threw the Emerald into the gear. Big was juggling the blue Chaos Emerald with his umbrella rod before he bounced it up to Cream & Cheese, who both placed the Emerald into the fourth gear. Rouge was flying up to the fifth gear, when one of her wings suddenly stopped flapping, causing her to fall and drop the Emerald! As Omega caught Rouge, Shadow jumped up to catch the red Chaos Emerald.
"Chaos..." He shouted as he suddenly disappeared with the Emerald. "...CONTROL!" Shadow shouted as he reappeared next to the fifth gear, where he placed the Emerald. Blaze threw the cyan Chaos Emerald up to the sixth gear, but Marine shot the Emerald with a water pulse from her hand, which caused the Emerald to bounce down. Blaze and Marine both panicked, before Silver caught it and placed it in the sixth gear with his Psychokinesis.
"Sorry. I thought I could get the Emerald there faster if I hit it..." Marine said, looking guilty. Just before Modern Sonic could race up to the seventh gear with the grey Chaos Emerald, a familiar green blur swooped in, swiped the Emerald and threw it into the gear, causing all of the gears to start moving, which activated the gate.
"Heh. Still tryin' to take all the glory, Jet?" Asked Modern Sonic, as he saw a certain green hawk floating above the seventh gear.
"Nah. I just figured I oughta help you out. Just one more time..." Jet replied with a smirk on his face that Modern Sonic did back before everyone walked into the large, dark gate. Leaving the Chaotix behind to still argue... until they all realized that they were the only ones left in the White Space, and the gate was working.
"HEY, WAIT FOR US!" They all shouted as they raced into the gate.
Once our heroes arrived in a strange place in time, they discovered the black monster's true form; a large black lifeform composed of gears, with four arms and six wings, aswell as two orbs on top of its head.
"Okay, whatever you are... if you want to avoid an embarressing beat-down, you'd better give up now!" Modern Sonic warned as he smacked his fist into his other palm, before one of the orbs opened up, revealing Dr. Eggman!
"You're not in a position to demand anything, you nasty little pincushion!" He responded, shocking all of our heroes.
"Eggman... but how?" Asked Modern Tails, before the second orb opened up, revealing... Dr. Eggman?!
"He had a little help." The younger, fatter Eggman replied, startling everyone again.
"Dr. Robotnik!" Exclaimed Classic Tails, who seemed just as shocked as Classic Sonic.
"Nobody calls me that anymore..." Classic Eggman said, before looking up at Modern Eggman. "If you would be so kind as to explain, gentleman genius Dr. Eggman From The Future."
"It will be my pleasure, most excellent and effacacious Dr. Eggman Of The Past." Modern Eggman replied.
Modern Eggman is suddenly seen in his disabled Egg Mobile being pushed through space by two small robots; one was designed to resemble a cube, while the other was designed to resemble a cube. "After my most recent setback, I stumbled upon the primordial form of this unique creation..." Modern Eggman said as he remembered seeing a certain dark beast in its immature state. "Which I discovered had amazing abilities even I have never been able to master. It could erase time and space! I then had the brilliant idea of using my discovery to undo my previous defeats!" Modern Eggman remembered the smirk he had on his face as he left his robots in space to disappear with the monster...
"In order to perfect it, I needed the help of somebody as smart as I am! The only person THAT smart... is me!" Modern Eggman concluded as he pointed to Classic Eggman.
"Oh, you are too kind, my dear future self. And I was happy to help!" Classic Eggman said to his older self.
"And so I captured your friends, fleeing them through time to bait my traps!" Stated Modern Eggman, making our heroes mad...
"But the more your monster tears through time, the more damage you do to the world!" Modern Tails pointed out, making Modern Sonic nod in agreement.
"The world? I'm going to OWN the world when I'm finished with Sonic!" Modern Eggman, before he started laughing maniacally, pausing to cough for a few seconds, then laughing again.
"Wow... will I really get that crazy?" Asked Classic Eggman, after witnessing his older self's fit of laughter.
"Heheh... we'll see who's crazy after I destroy BOTH Sonics... forever!" Modern Eggman replied as he leaned over to look down at his younger self.
"You mean, after we destroy them." Stated Classic Eggman, correcting his older self.
"Less arguing, more destroying." Modern Eggman replied, not impressed by his younger self's arrogance.
"Destroy me? You and what moustache? I beat you all the time by myself! And now there's TWO of me!" Modern Sonic pointed out as Classic Sonic did a backflip in response.
"Then I'll have twice as much fun defeating you!" Modern Eggman responded before he and Classic Eggman sat down in their pods before their orbs closed.
Both Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic moved closer towards the Eggmen just before they made their monster fired purple orbs at the Sonics. Both hedgehogs avoided the attacks by splitting up as they ran towards the beast.
"Keep moving!" Modern Sonic shouted to his younger self as they both got closer.
"Move all you want, I'm still going to stomp you into a blue jelly!" Taunted Modern Eggman as he pressed a button that made one of the monster's arms detach and travel into a dark portal. Neither Sonic saw this, as they were focused on attacking the Eggmen. They both tried a Homing Attack each, but they were both swatted back with enough force that it took them time to stand back up. Modern Eggman chuckled as the detached arm reappeared above the Sonics, and flattened them both! "That was just to soften you up. Now it's time to meet your doom!"
"You can do it, Sonic!" Shouted both Classic Amy and Modern Amy as they held each other's hands in fear.
"C'mon Sonic, smack him!" Shouted both Classic Knuckles and Modern Knuckles as Classic Knuckles held one of his fists in the air, while Modern Knuckles smacked his fists together.
"Grr, not you!" Grumbled Modern Eggman, as he spotted some of Sonic's friends.
"You've got this, Sonic!" Yelled Shadow, as Rouge landed beside him and Omega fired his machine guns up in approval.
"You can win, Sonic." Rouge cheered.
"DEFEAT OF THE EGGMEN IS INEVITABLE." Omega stated.
"Who are they?" Classic Eggman asked, since he'd never seen Shadow, Rouge or Omega before.
"They are insignificant!" Modern Eggman replied.
"You've got the power, Sonic!" Cheered Vector.
"Focus your spirit!" Espio told the hedgehogs as Charmy and Jet flew in.
"We're with you guys!" Charmy cheered.
"It's all on you now, Sonic!" Shouted Jet.
"I believe in you, Sonic." Cream told the hedgehogs as she held her hands together and had Cheese on her head, while Blaze had jumped onto the same platform.
"Don't give in, Sonic!" Blaze told them as Silver landed between Blaze, Cream and Marine.
"I know you can do this, Sonic!" Said Silver.
"C'mon Sonic, you've got this, mate!" Cheered Marine as she was being held up by Big, who was waving his free hand.
"You can win, Sonic!" Cheered Classic Tails.
"You always do!" Added Modern Tails, only seconds before all seven Chaos Emeralds appeared around both Sonics. As the Chaos Emeralds started spinning around both Sonics, they also raised the hedgehogs up into the air, which was when they both woke up.
"Time to scramble some Eggman, SUPER SONIC STYLE!" Modern Sonic shouted just before he and Classic Sonic started glowing a bright gold, and Modern Sonic's eyes changed from green to red! After admiring their forms, Modern Super Sonic and Classic Super Sonic flew towards the Eggmen, ready for battle!
The Eggmen-controlled monster roared as the battle between them and the Super Sonics began.
"Sonic, can you hear me?" Asked Modern Tails via radio.
"I worked with-" Said Classic Tails.
"Me!" Modern Tails inturrupted.
"-to modify this transceiver." Classic Tails finished.
"So even though we're in seperate dimensions..." Said Modern Tails.
"You should still be able to hear us!" Classic Tails and Modern Tails finished together.
"Okay, cool. Just try to keep it down while me and Mini-Me do our thing!" Said Modern Super Sonic, to which Classic Super Sonic nodded with his eyes wide open. "Yeah, the guys can get kinda annoying every now and then..."
"Is something the matter?" Asked one of the Eggmen as familiar-looking debris flew past them and the Super Sonics...
"Just one last pep-talk before the big finale, Docs!" Modern Super Sonic pointed out as he Boosted towards them, with Classic Super Sonic closely following him. Just then, the beast fired multiple, large, yellow darts at the super-powered hedgehogs.
"That looks like a homing shot!" Exclaimed Modern Knuckles via radio.
"Look out, Sonic!" Classic Amy cried as both Super Sonics easily avoided the attack while getting closer. Once the hedgehogs got close enough, two of the monster's four arms started glowing green...
"Keep dodging, or you'll be crushed!" Warned Classic Knuckles. Both Super Sonics flew above the arms just before they clapped together, leaving the purple core wide open, allowing Modern Super Sonic to damage it with a Homing Attack!
"Great job, Sonic!" Cheered Modern Tails as the monster started spasming.
"Don't relax just yet!" Warned Modern Amy, as a flash of light suddenly sent the five of them into a similar-yet-different-looking void, and the monster began throwing more purple orbs at the hedgehogs, but they swerved their way through every last one as they got closer to the beast.
"How about... THIS?!" Asked both Eggmen as one of its arms appeared from a dark portal to try and give the Super Sonics a good whack, but it missed before it returned to its body. As the Super Sonics got closer, the Eggmen tried firing green lasers at the hedgehogs from different places around their pet.
"C'mon, is that all you two have got?!" Teased Modern Super Sonic as he and Classic Super Sonic easily avoided the lasers.
"Hmph, this looks like fun." Shadow stated via radio, sounding strangely interested in the battle as Classic Super Sonic landed a Homing Attack on the monster's core, causing it to spasm uncontrollably again as it lost two of its arms and two sets of wings!
After the second flash, the Eggmen made their monster launch some sort of clock-shaped barrier with moving hands, which blocked both hedgehogs from pursuing them!
"Sonic! Are you all right?" Asked a frightened Blaze via radio.
"Ngh, I'm fine." Modern Super Sonic replied as he noticed that Classic Super Sonic was already flying after the Eggmen. "Relax guys, we've got this." After saying that, Modern Super Sonic flew after his younger self, who was avoiding two arms!
"Now we'll... FINISH IT!" Shouted the Eggmen as they made their pet unleash a massive laser that struck both Super Sonics, but neither of them were injured from the attack.
"All right, here we come!" Yelled Modern Super Sonic as he and Classic Super Sonic charged towards the Eggmen, but were suddenly stopped in their tracks, as the Eggmen's monster had slowed down time for the hedgehogs! During this time slow, the Eggmen made their pet create more clock barriers. Once the time flow was restored, Modern and Classic Super Sonic flew through the clock barriers without any trouble, allowing them to get closer to the Eggmen. Once the hedgehogs were close enough, the monster attempted to squash them with his massive hands, but Modern Super Sonic pulled back, while Classic Super Sonic rammed into the beast's core with another Homing Attack, making it look like it was about ready to break!
What the Super Sonics had done made the Eggmen very angry, as they made their monster unleash a massive fireball at the hedgehogs!
"We'll end it! BURN! BURN TO ASHES!" They yelled as the Super Sonics prepared themselves for impact.
"SONIC, THE BOTH OF YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO REPEL THAT ATTACK BY COMBINING YOUR POWERS, USING THE LEFT BUMPER AND RIGHT BUMPER AT THE SAME TIME, OR BY PRESSING L1 & R1 AT THE SAME TIME." Stated Omega, confusing both hedgehogs.
"You got any idea what that bolt-brain's talkin' about?" Asked Modern Super Sonic, but Classic Super Sonic shrugged. Seconds later, both hedgehogs started twirling around the center of the fireball, eventually charging through it and shattering the core of the Eggmen's beast, resulting in a massive flash of light!
After the flash, Modern Sonic seemed to have returned to his birthday party, where he caught his chilli dog and had a second bite.
"Hmm... still warm. Hah ha! Time travel..." He exclaimed as Classic Sonic skidded in front of him, before everyone else suddenly appeared at the party. When they all noticed they were together, most of them started celebrating... Shadow just stood under the tree with his arms folded.
"I'll admit, you weren't half bad, Sonic." Said Modern Knuckles.
"'Half bad?' Are you kidding? He was all GREAT!" Modern Amy talked back to Modern Knuckles before shoving him into the tree and admiring Sonic once again. Seeing what had just happened to their older selves, Classic Knuckles and Amy were shocked.
"I... guess I'd better not badmouth Sonic when you're around, huh?" Classic Knuckles asked Classic Amy, who responded by cracking her knuckles while smirking.
"That's right. And you'd better watch out if you do..." Classic Amy replied, making Classic Knuckles nervous.
"He collects HOW many?" Asked Classic Tails as he and Modern Tails joined the party. "Wow, where does somebody put all those gold rings?"
"Y'know what? I don't know. I keep forgetting to ask..." Modern Tails replied.
While everyone else was talking, Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic stepped aside for one last talk...
"It was great teaming up with ya." Modern Sonic told his younger self. "Hope you learned a few things that can help you out in the future. I mean, the past, uh... you know what I mean." After his older self stumbled over his speech, Classic Sonic decided to show off what he'd learnt; he jumped into the air and attempted to Boost, but he didn't seem to get far, as he quickly fell on his head. Despite this, Modern Sonic applauded his younger self's attempt. "Dude, sweet! And you're only gonna get better!"
"There's our ride!" Exclaimed Classic Tails as he, Classic Amy and Classic Knuckles walked up to the Sonics. Classic Tails was pointing to a portal with what appeared to be Green Hill inside it. The Sonics high-fived each other before Classic Sonic ran towards it, while Classic and Modern Tails hugged before Classic Tails flew after Classic Sonic. Classic Amy played a little pattycake with Modern Amy before run after Classic Sonic, while Classic Knuckles and Modern Knuckles gave each other a fist-bump before Classic Knuckles followed the other three.
"Hey, Sonic! Enjoy your future! It's gonna be great!" Shouted Modern Sonic, making Classic Sonic look back at his older self and give him a thumbs-up before him and his three young friends jumped through the portal, leaving their older selves and their future friends and rivals wave them off...
END OF STORY
...OR IS IT?
