Chapter Thirteen: Silver's Future, Part 1
In the area of the great Never Lake, the Little Planet high above the lake as an evil plot that could change the course of history began to unfold. Standing directly on top of the water was Metal with the time stones as the chaos emeralds floating above his head. Standing near the shore, Eggman, Mecha, and Violet were waiting semi-patiently for Metal to actually use the time stones. "Metal, are you sure those time stones will actually work. If you remember correctly, I tried to use the time stones three years ago, but they didn't work." Eggman commented. "You are an even bigger fool then I thought, Eggman. The reason the time stone wouldn't was because you didn't try to control them with chaos. Only with chaos can you truly activate their powers. How do you think I got to this time period?" Metal said. "But are you sure this plan will work?" Violet asked. "Violet, this is me we are talking about. Once I return to my original time period, I will seek out my creator and begin my plans." Metal said. "Let's just hope it works." Mecha said silently. "Oh, and by the way, we have guests." Metal informed.
Early in the morning, the Sonic Heroes received an urgent message from the G.U.N. Commander about Eggman being spotted near Never Lake. Unfortunately since most of the heroes were away on missions, Silver, who still had a hole in his chest, and Blaze were forced to check it out. Silver and Blaze were looking over one of the large rocks and found Metal standing on top of the water while Eggman was watching. "There he is, just like the commander said." Silver whispered, fearing the enemy would find him in his weakened state. "Good, now the real question is how to proceed. Eggman is easy, but Metal will be difficult, especially with your injury." Blaze said. "Yeah." Silver held his hand over his bandaged wound. "Hey, something's missing here." Silver suddenly said. "What do you mean?" Blaze asked. "Do you notice anyone missing?" Silver questioned. Blaze looked back and still only saw the two villains. That's when it hit her. "Where are Mecha and Violet?" Blaze questioned. "Glad to see you missed us." At the sound of the Silver and Blaze quickly jumped over the rock just in time before it was smashed to rubble. The two turned to face Mecha and Violet, ready to kill the heroes. Metal looked back momentarily and ordered "Kill them." Then returned his attention to the time stones.
"You get the girl. I'll take the hedgehog." Mecha said. "Aww, you get all the fun!" Violet whined. Mecha made a jump for Silver as Violet extended her claw out to the pyrokinetic cat. Blaze flipped back with her amazing acrobatic skills and flipped up to land on one of the large rocks. "Come on. You'll have to do better then that." Blaze mocked. Violet was fumed and thoughtlessly extended her claw to crush the rock, just as Blaze had planned. Blaze jumped and landed on the differently colored Chaos' arm. Blaze ignited her claws as she came closer to the head and swung furiously at it. Unfortunately, Violet's head surprisingly opened up and entrapped Blaze's hand inside. "What...is...this?" Blaze questioned as she struggled to free her head from Violet's head. "Didn't you know? I'm not just made of pure chaos. I am made of pure liquid chaos." Violet informed. All of a sudden, Violet detached her head (She grew a new one, of course) and encased Blaze inside a prison of violet colored chaos. "You just sit tight while Mecha finishes your boyfriends." Violet chuckled evilly. "You won't get away with whatever your doing!" Blaze stated. "Oh, but we already have." Violet said.
Silver levitated back as Mecha continuously swipes his claws at the spots where Silver once was. "What's wrong? Don't me the great Silver the Hedgehog is scared of a simple mech like me." Mecha mocked. "Not in the least!" Silver shouted. Mecha jumped at Silver with his claws out in front, but the grey hedgehog created a barrier to repel him. "Hmm. Trying to keep me out with that barrier, huh? That would work..." Mecha took a step forward and suddenly disappeared. "...If it wasn't for the fact that I can use chaos control." Mecha then appeared from behind Silver. The grey hedgehog attempted to turn and send the mech flying with a blast of psychic energy, but was stopped when Mecha pounded his metal claw into Silver's wound. "AAH!" Silver screamed in agonizing pain. "Attempting to fight me when you are still gravely injured from you previous fight against Nazo. You're not a very bright one, are you?" Mecha chuckled. Mecha reeled back his foot and kicked Silver to the side of the face, sending the grey hedgehog splashing in the spot near Metal was.
The time stone start to glow on and off at a rapid pace as Metal's yellow chaos emerald began to shine bright then it had ever been seen. "At last, the stones and the chaos emerald's energies are in perfect synchronization. Now to release their powers." Metal said. The Sonic copy raised his claws and held the chaos emerald within them. "CHAOS TEMPUS!" Metal shouted. The chaos emerald then shot out seven beams of light that struck the time stones surrounding it. The time stone began spinning around at a speed no ordinary person could see. In three seconds, a white vortex appeared in front of Metal. "Now, it's time for me to return home." Metal said. As Metal attempted to make his way to the vortex, he felt his foot being caught by something. He looked down to see the weakened Silver holding his leg. "I won't let you get away." Silver said weakly. Metal grasped the grey hedgehog by his mane and stared at him with interest. 'Hmm. I could use a distraction and he would be perfect for the job.' Metal thought. "Congratulations, Silver, I won't kill you." Metal said. "Huh?" Silver questioned. "Instead, we will be going home together." Metal said. Metal then threw Silver into the white vortex and follow close behind. Then, the vortex, the time stones, and the chaos emerald disappeared. "Silver? Silver!" Blaze screamed, but it was useless.
"Oh, my head. What happened?" Silver asked himself as he woke to find himself in a city he had never seen. It looked a lot like Metal City, only a lot more advanced. There flying cars, video screens in the sky, but the thing that caught his attention was that not only were humans and anthro's walking around, but aliens too. "Ok, what's going on here?" Silver questioned. "Look! It's Silver!" A girlish scream could be heard. Out of nowhere, several girls, human, anthro, and alien, jumped on Silver and started glomping him. The girls were obviously his fan club, which he had no idea why. Silver created a barrier to push the girls away and took off to the sky, much to the girl's disappointment. "Ok, that was weird." Silver said until he noticed he was flying. "Hey, I'm flying, but how?" he looked to the skies for answers. "The kinetic pulses in the atmosphere are stronger then usual." He then looked forward to catch a familiar sight. "Wait! That mountain, it's Iblis' lair. Then that means, I'm back in my own time period!" Silver concluded. 'Metal said he was going home, so why did he come here?' Silver mentally questioned. All of a sudden, a loud explosion was heard coming from a nearby district. "Look's like I'm about to find out." Silver said as he used his powers to fly over to the explosion.
The commotion was coming from a district jewelry store that had just been blown to pieces. Within the fires of the destroyed building stood three shadows as one of them walked out of the fire holding the yellow chaos emerald. The creature was Metal Sonic, only it wasn't the same one from before. Instead of the normal neo form that Silver and the other heroes have come to know, this Metal Sonic looked exactly like his CD form when he first fought Sonic. Three more Metal Sonic's stood beside the one with the chaos emerald and they all got down to their knees as their master arrived. Their master was riding Eggman's old Egg-mobile, but it wasn't the doctor we have come to know. The master looked exactly like Eggman, only most of his features were completely different. His ugly mustache was white and he wore silver goggle on top of his head with blue glasses beneath them. He wore a one-piece red jumpsuit along with black and yellow boots and coat. His was like Silver was Sonic's descendent; this man was the descendent of the original Eggman. His name was Eggman Nega.
"Master, we have successfully completed our mission." Metal #1 said as it held out the yellow chaos emerald to it master. "Excellent. Only six more and the world will know the true meaning of suffering." Nega said with an evil laugh that greatly surpassed Eggmans. All of a sudden, the chaos emerald floated out of Nega's hands and floated to the side. The futuristic egghead and his mechanical minions looked over to see Silver with the emerald in hand. "Well, if it isn't my arch-enemy, Silver the hedgehog." Nega stated. Silver's face deadpanned at the comment. "So we are...arch-enemies?" Silver asked. "Of course. Just like our ancestors, Sonic and the original Eggman! How could you not know that! We have been fighting for years!" Nega stated. "We...have?" Silver questioned. "How could you not remember?!" Nega cried, literally. "Wow. And all this time I thought Mephiles was my arch-enemy." Silver said out loud. "What?!" You think that this 'Mephiles' person were more evil then I, Eggman Nega?!" Nega yelled. "Uh...pretty much." Silver said bluntly. "Ooh, you'll pay for that. Metal Sonic's, attack!" Nega commanded.
The three Metal copies attacked the grey hedgehog on command. Silver, dodge the first one as it struck his claw into the ground. Unfortunately, the second used the first one as support and jumped up to kick Silver in the face. "Ow." Silver muttered while clutching his face. Silver looked jumped just in time as the third Metal copy dived bombed at the hero hedgehog. Silver back flipped three times and landed as the Metal copy crashed into the street, creating a crater in the process. "They may look like Metal, but they are defiantly not as smart or as skilled as him." Silver sniggered. Meanwhile, Nega overheard Silver and gave a curious look. 'What is he talking about? This is the first time I have ever used the Metal Sonic's against him. And who is Metal?' Nega questioned in his mind. "Come on. Is that really the best you got?" Silver mocked. "Scanning for target weakness!" Metal #4 stated. The Metal copy's eyes glowed brightly as it scanned around Silver's body before stopping at his chest. "Weakness identified! Activating attack mode!" Metal #4 stated. In a burst of speed, the Metal copy dashed over and punched Silver right where his wound was, forcing him to drop to his knees.
"Oh, how the mighty have fallen. You don't look so hot now, do you, Silver?" Nega cruelly laughed. 'ugh, I'm still too weak from Nazo's attack. I can't fight Metal, especially four of them.' Silver thought. "And know, to rid the world of my final obstacle. With Silver out of the way, nothing can stop my..." And Nega continued on and on. Guess long speeches run in the family. 'Why won't this guy shut up?' Silver complained in his mind. "No matter how many years pass, some things just never change." A familiar voice echoed down the street. "I know that voice." Silver whispered. Suddenly, Silver and the villains were surrounded by a gale of black wind. "What's happening?!" Nega screamed through the blast of strong wind. When the gale died down, the Metal copy was thrown back and two familiar black hedgehogs stood in front of Silver. "Shadow! Kumori!" Silver exclaimed in happiness. "Hey, Silver. Where have you been the past two hundred years?" Kumori giggled. "It's a long story." Silver chuckled, hurting his chest. "Explain later. For now, let us handle these clowns." Shadow smirked. "I'll show you clowns. Metal Sonic's attack." Nega commanded.
The four Metal Sonic clones jumped in simultaneously to attack the two black hedgehogs. Shadow smirked as an outline of red chaos surrounded his body and burst away him, knocking two of the metal copies back. "That's a little something I call Chaos Pulse." Shadow said. Kumori waited till the two other copies were directly above her. Kumori fell to the ground on her back and kicked the two mechs in the face to knock them into the air. "They don't make evil robots like they used to." Kumori chuckled lightly. "Don't just sit there! Destroy them!" Nega screamed. The Metal Sonic's sharpened their claws and shot lashed out at the ultimate life-forms in a blinding burst of speed. "Shall we, Shadow dear?" Kumori asked with a small grin on her face. "Yes, we shall." Shadow said with a grin equal to hers. The two hedgehogs grasped each others hands and closed their eyes to concentrate. Soon, a huge aura of red chaos engulfed their bodies until. "CHAOS BLAST!!!" The aura exploded from their bodies, destroying the Metal copies, but holding back enough to make sure that Silver wasn't harmed. "Wow. They are way stronger then the last time I saw them." Silver said with wide eyes.
"No! My robots!" Nega screamed in despair. "I would suggest you hightail it and run, Nega." Shadow suggested. "This isn't over, hedgehogs! I swear, I will be back and I will be more powerful then ever!" Nega screamed as he flew off in his Egg-mobile. "That guy never learns, does he?" Kumori said. Silver slowly and weakly got back to his feet. "It's good to see you without being in a medical ward, Shadow." Silver said. "You sure you don't mean it's good to see us after two hundred years." Shadow remarked. "Yeah, that." Silver chuckled. "It's so good to see you again, Silver. A lot of things have changed since two hundred years." Kumori said. "Yeah, I noticed." Silver said as he gazed around the city. "That's not what I meant." Kumori smiled. "Huh?" Silver questioned. After taking a closer look, Silver noticed that Shadow and Kumori were wearing...wedding rings. "Wait. Don't tell me...you guys are...married?" Silver asked with a shocked expression. "Yes! It was the happiest day of my life. I really wish you were there." Kumori squealed with glee. "I don't believe it. the great Shadow the Hedgehog finally got hitched." Silver joked. Shadow punched Silver's wound, forcing him to the ground. "Next time, think before you speak. Now, let's get those wounds healed." Shadow said. "Ok." Silver said with a high-pitched voice.
"I can't believe it. the one chance I have to defeat that meddlesome hedgehog, those two have to interrupt. Oh, how I hate hedgehogs." Nega mumbled angrily as he floated back to his base in the mountain that was once Iblis' lair in an alternate timeline. But upon arriving at his base, he found his Metal Sonic robot that were guarding the entrance were destroyed. "What is this?" Nega questioned. Nega jumped out of the Egg-mobile and made his way to the entrance of the base. The steel doors were torn of their hinges. "I don't like this." Nega mumbled as he walked inside his base. As he walked farther into the base, he found that all the Metal Sonic robots were either clawed, decapitated, shredded, or a variation of the three. "What could have done this?" Nega questioned. "I see you decided not to stop at one, Nega." A new voice came from the shadows. The figure walked closer to the evil scientist, slowly revealing himself. "Who are you?" Nega asked. "I'm hurt, Nega. You don't remember your ultimate creation." The figure said as he walked into the light. "Metal Sonic?" Nega said, surprised by his creations changes. "I just go by Metal these days." Metal fully revealed himself. "It is good to see you again...my creator." Metal greeted his creator.
The truth is revealed. Metal Sonic is the creation of Eggman Nega and the future is much different then expected. But why did Metal come back and what purpose does he have for Silver. Stay tuned to find out.
