Alright! Here's the long awaited chapter. Sorry for taking for so long to upload this, but I kind of had a struggle to get this one done. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 5: Reunion of the Hero and the Damsel
Sonic and Metal Sonic takes a look at one another, with the real Sonic breathing heavily. He was getting tired from fighting at Light Speed, while Metal Sonic was walking towards him.
"Darn! At this rate, I won't be able to keep up with him."
"What's wrong, Sonic? Getting tired already? Well, allow me to put you to rest!"
Sonic prepares himself as Metal Sonic charges up for his ultimate move, the V. Maximum Overdrive Attack.
"V. Maximum Overdrive Atta-"
"Don't you mess with my Sonic, you hunk of junk!"
Both hedgehogs turned to see a third hedgehog coming up onto them at a very quick pace. It was Amy Rose, a beautiful pink hedgehog with a fiery passion to protect Sonic and make him acknowledge her. She approaches Metal Sonic and then swings her hammer at him, but he dodges her attack by performing Black Shield. The momentum of her hammer was repelled, and from it resulted in her almost falling over.
"Take this! Ring Spark Fi-"
"Oh no you don't!"
Sonic runs up to him, and kicks the robot, sending him flying away from Amy.
"Thanks, Sonic!"
"Amy, what are you doing here?"
"I came to check up on you, and here I see you battling Metal Sonic."
"I shouldn't be saying this, but you couldn't have come at a better time. He was almost about to overwhelm me."
"You're welcome. You can leave this to me, Sonic. I'll take him on."
"May I ask how?"
"Don't you remember? Those gems you gave me during your adventure on Soleanna."
Sonic thinks about the gems he gave her, and remembers it was those gems that possessed different powers.
"Oh. I can take a much needed break then."
"You're going to leave this battle all to me?"
"Yes. With those Gems, you're more than capable enough to take on ol' metal face."
So I went to take a break, and saw her activate both the Red Gem, and Blue Gem. The Red Gem allows the user to slow down time for a certain amount of time, and the Blue Gem allows the user to get a speed boost in movement. Thinking back on them, I got some custom shoes from an old man in Soleanna. He said he wanted to create the ultimate shoes for heroes, so he gave them to. They also came along with some Gems that can potentially make you as fast as me, and as powerful as Shadow. They were supposed to be a time limit to how long you can use them. However, the creator of the gems made a mistake, and altered them so now they're allowed to be used as long as the user allows it to.
"Alright, Metal Sonic! It's you and me!"
I saw Metal Sonic get up, and look at her with a serious face, like always. You could tell he was underestimating her power just from the way he analyzed her.
"What makes you think you can keep up with me?"
"I have something you don't, Metal Sonic, and that's the power of magical gems!"
I think this was the first time I was impressed from how fast she was going, because as soon as she disappeared from his eyesight, Metal Sonic was sent flying from his location to the air. I feel bad for Metal Sonic, because as soon as Amy hits you with that hammer of hers, she has a chance to shrink you down to size with it. Back to the battle, Amy was using those custom gems like it was the best thing she ever had, because she was whooping Metal Sonic with plain ease. I could do that too, but Metal Sonic was designed to be my exact copy in every way, so if we were to go all out, I'd get tired, unlike Metal Sonic. While I was watching the battle, Tails and Knuckles came out of the forest, and sat down next to me to watch Amy do away with Metal Sonic.
"Amy sure is handling that robot kind of harshly."
"That's Amy for you, Tails. She does everything in her power to protect those she love."
"So I guess she's doing this for your sake, huh?"
"Yeah, although I wish she'd stop. Then again, it's nice to have someone who'd protect you like that, right Tails?"
"Mhm…"
I could immediately tell that Tails knew what I was talking about. It was about his girlfriend, Cosmo, who sacrificed her life for him. I could remember that event like it was yesterday, and it was not a very pretty thing to watch. I felt sad for him, and I really want to make that up to him, even if I had nothing to do with her decision. Someday, I will.
"Don't be sad, Tails. I'll get her back."
"How?"
"I don't know. I haven't thought of that yet, but I want to do my best to make sure you're reunited with her."
"Heh. Thanks, Sonic!"
"No problem, buddy!"
From the corner of my eye, I saw Metal Sonic slide toward us from the ground, badly damaged. I took a good look at him, and smiled before giving him a remark.
"How do you like the new damsel? She's a lot more powerful than she originally was, isn't she, Metal Sonic?"
He quickly gets up, and struggles to walk as his systems were about to give out on him.
"You haven't won yet, Sonic! I'll come back, and destroy you and the Sonic Heroes!"
"I'm glad you remembered the name. Whenever you want a rematch, just let me know. I'll be waiting like always."
Metal Sonic takes off flying towards where Eggman currently resides. I didn't want to end the job quickly, so I just let him fly off. That is until Knuckles had an idea.
"Take this with you, bolt brain!"
Knuckles chucked a huge boulder at the robot with one hand. Metal Sonic turned around and took the impact and speed of the projectile, hitting it with a tink noise, and landing with a loud crash. When we heard that sound, we looked at each other for 3 seconds before bursting into laughter.
"Hahahaha! Knuckles! You should've let him go!"
"Heh! Well, I didn't want him to think that he can really beat us by himself."
"Oh man! You got me in tears, Knuckles! I didn't think you would do that.:
"When it comes down to it, Sonic, I'm not so forgiving when letting my enemies get away."
Tails and I shook our heads in agreement before I replied to him.
"That's true, Knuckles. Oh! Amy!"
I went to Amy, and gave her a thumbs up before smiling.
"You did a wonderful job there, Amy! I was impressed!"
"Oh, Sonic…"
Just like Amy, she blushed red and dove on me, hugging me because of my compliment.
"That makes me happy for you saying that!"
"Hold on! Wait! Get off me, Amy!"
As I was struggling to get her off me, Tails and Knuckles were laughing at me. They both knew what was going to happen, but I couldn't help not to compliment her. Amy's fighting skills has grown since we both took care of Emerl back in Emerald Town. However, it was at this point that Amy would be accompanying me on our future battles together. Although, I wonder how much power she has, now that the gems give her full use of her magic, along with my Magic Hands upgrade I gave her.
The end to the battle is done. Up next will be chapter 6 and the start of a new adventure, and where things will get more interesting from here on out. I appreciate you guys for reading and following my story so far, even though it's only 5 chapters in. As always, stay tuned, and let me know your opinions to help me improve on future stories I plan to do.
