Welcome to the long awaited battle, Chapter 3. I put lots of hard work in this battle, so enjoy reading this masterpiece.
Chapter 3: Sonic vs Sonic; Metal vs Fur
We both started dashing toward each other, clashing heads like we did when we first fought one another. I have to admit, I was having a bit of nostalgia when I clashed heads with him.
"It's been years, since we've done this, hasn't it Metal Sonic?"
"I recall the memories exactly, hedgehog."
"Well, how about we revisit the old times with this one line?"
"You might know everything I'm going to do, but that's not going to help you, because I know everything you're going to do! Strange isn't it, hedgehog?"
"Beat me to the punch line, huh? Well then! Let's see you deal with this!"
Sonic started to Sonic Boost into Metal Sonic, pushing him through a multitude of trees.
"The strength of the Hedgehog is rising at a quick pace."
"That's because I've fought enemies stronger than you, Metal Sonic."
"Is that so? Well, let's see if you'll be able to deal with this move."
Metal Sonic covers himself in his Black Shield, pushing Sonic away and making slide backwards across the ground.
"Black Shield huh? That's new Metal Sonic."
"Indeed, Hedgehog. This allows me to become impervious to all of your attacks, including your speed."
"Is that so? Well, maybe I should rev up, and show you my true speed."
"Not this time, Sonic! Initiating Ring Spark Field!"
Metal Sonic covers himself and shoots bolts of electricity at Sonic. Sonic, using his speed, dodges them while trying to stand still.
"This old move again? I know you have more than that."
"Initiating Plasma Pulse Attack!"
"What?"
Metal Sonic begins to charge up a beam from his chest engine, aiming at the hedgehog.
"Try and dodge this. Fire!"
"Uh oh."
Metal Sonic fires a big beam from his chest, covering a wide area. Sonic manages to dodge the attack just in time, and takes a look at the damage done from it.
"Whoa! Never seen that move before. Good thing I dodged that-"
Sonic gets interrupted from Metal Sonic's V. Maximum Overdrive Attack, getting pushed at full speed while suffering from electricity that was damaging his body.
"Good dodge, Sonic, but I won't be letting you get any breathing time. Ring Spark Field!"
Metal Sonic finishes his electrical combo, sending Sonic flying through the air, and sliding across the ground, revealing the dirt that lay under the grass.
"Ngh!"
Sonic tries to get up as Metal Sonic watched him struggle to do so.
"Time to finish this, Sonic. Plasma Pulse Attack!"
Metal Sonic begins charging his attack, aiming at Sonic once again.
"I… Have to get out of the way!"
"Too late, Sonic! Fire!"
Metal Sonic fires at the hedgehog, but much to his dismay, Sonic dodges the attack just in time.
"It seems my calculations on your persistence to stay alive have been correct so far, Sonic."
"Heh… I'm not going to go down from some cheap trick Eggman gave you to destroy me with, Metal Sonic, and now that I know you have that move, I won't fall for it again, and don't think I haven't forgotten about that copycat ability you got from Eggman Nega when he reprogrammed you."
"I didn't think you'd remember such a potent ability, Sonic.."
"Of course I haven't. Now let's cut chitchat."
"Agreed."
Sonic and Metal Sonic clashed heads once again, this time with Sonic performing a Sonic Boost to push Metal Sonic back. Metal Sonic attempts to puts on his Black Shield like before, but Sonic grabs his hand before he could get into position.
"I'm not letting you do that again, Metal Sonic. Blue Tornado!"
Sonic begins to spin Metal Sonic around, forming a Blue Tornado. He throws Metal Sonic up into the air, rendering the robot useless in the tornado, and then hits him with a Homing Attack. To continue his combo, he performs the Sonic Eagle on Metal Sonic, sending him slamming hard into the ground, and ending it with a Bouncing Attack before revving up his Spin Dash with a Spin Charge.
"Damage exceeds minimum."
"Heh heh, things are about to heat up in this battle, Metal Sonic! Sonic Wave!"
Sonic sends out a wind blast along the ground, forcing Metal Sonic to slide along the ground, and immediately follows up with his Spin Dash, hitting the robot with full speed. The impact sends Metal Sonic sliding further across the ground, potentially overloading his circuits.
"Circuits have been damaged."
"Heh heh! Don't mess with me, Sonic the Hedgehog!"
"Initiating Hyper Mode."
Metal Sonic charges up his energy, increasing his strength by half of his current strength. Sonic, remembers the time when he needed to use Super Sonic to challenge Metal Sonic's Hyper Mode strength. Since that was the past however, Sonic was confident he didn't need his Super Form, since his strength increased by a drastic amount.
"Hyper Mode, eh? I remember when I needed to go Super just to challenge that mode."
"Don't think that this is the same Hyper Mode from before."
"Oh really? Heh! I'll knock you out of that Hyper Mode!"
He revs up, and speeds towards him, launching a punch, but was repelled by an unknown force. Sonic looks towards his opponent.
"Do you regret making that mistake, Hedgehog?"
"Don't bet on it, you hunk of junk!"
Sonic begins to rev up again, only this time, charging his speed.
"Let's see if that barrier can withstand my Super Peel Out attack!"
Sonic races towards him, running around the robot in light speed. He thens unleashes a barrage of kicks and punches.
"Initiating Ring Spark Field."
"Uh oh!"
Sonic escapes from Metal Sonic's Ring Spark Field, dodging the electricity that Metal Sonic shoots at him as he gets out of range of the attack.
"Darn!"
"Do you now see my true power, hedgehog?"
Metal Sonic was really powerful this time around. I was pretty much left to ponder on how to counter his Hyper Mode. I could have used Super Sonic, but at the time, I was too confident and let him get even more powerful. However, I didn't realize at the time that I forgot the one most important thing.
Sorry this took so long. I had to do some research, and figure out on how to approach this battle, because according to the canon, Sonic hasn't seen some moves of Metal Sonic, apart from the Ring Spark Field, V. Maximum Overdrive Attack, Hyper Mode from Sonic the Fighters, and Copy Cat. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and stay tuned for the ending in the next chapter.
