SONIC HEROES: THE SERIES
Part 5 of 5 of the Zeenint Saga
Chapter Ninety-Nine: Master of the Emeralds, Part 5
The scene returns to the skies within the leafy plains of Angel Island. Zeenint had accomplished his goal of collecting the darkness from the Chaos Emeralds and achieved a power that could compare to a god. And as the battle continued to rage on, the chances of his defeat seemed less likely. Rouge and Metal's combined efforts were useless against the former master and Sonzo had been reverted back to his standard form. And to make things worse, he only had ten minutes left for the fusion to hold its form.
"I can't...let it end this way." Sonzo groaned.
"Think of it this way." Zeenint grinned darkly. "Angel Island will be the first thing to be destroyed, which means you won't be around to witness your greatest failure." He held one hand into the air, gathering a large amount of green Chaos Energy. "Now witness your end. Ragnarok!!"
The emerald sovereign raised his hand to the sky as he gathered a large quantity of green chaos energy compacted into the shape of a sphere. And within seconds, the sphere had expanded itself to the size of a full moon. As the legendary tyrant continued to feed his attack with unlimited energy, Sonzo forced himself to his feet in the face of peril.
"So, anymore brilliant ideas?" Nazo questioned sarcastically.
"Hey, we're still alive, right?" Sonic said lightly. "We just need to come up with a new plan, that's all."
"We're only alive because Zeenint allowed it." Nazo proclaimed defiantly. "Look at the facts – we're powerless, Zeenint is a god, and he's about to blow up the entire planet. In a matter of days, he'll become the new Highest One."
"Aren't you a little ray of sunshine?" Sonic said sarcastically.
"Giving up already?" Zeenint taunted as he stared down at Sonzo's motionless form. "I would have thought you would at least put up some kind of resistance."
"Hey, it's not over until the fat lady sings." Sonzo smirked. "Whoops, I'd didn't mean to bring your mother into this."
"My siblings and I were born from the collective energies of the universe." Zeenint said bluntly; Sonzo sweat dropped. "We have no mothers. I grow tired of your remedial jokes, so..." He threw his hand down, releasing his collective energy. "DIE!!"
The Ragnarok slowly descended upon the floating island – it course was aimed directly for Sonzo. Though against her will, Rouge was forcefully dragged into the forest by Metal Sonic, hoping that some parts of the island would be left intact. But the mixed hedgehog was not as fortunate. Having spent all his energy battling Zeenint across the world, Sonzo could do no more than stand and watch as the energized sphere drew closer. Catching the Ragnarok seemed like an option, but not even he was powerful enough to stop that. Sonzo only sighed and closed his eyes to await the impact.
"Well, we had a good run." Sonzo said defeated. "Maybe since I'm a fusion of Sonic and Nazo, the Council of Death won't send me to hell."
"How about instead of sleep, you help out a bit!" A new voice shouted frustrated. "This damn thing is heavy!"
"Let me ease it a little." A kind voice said.
Sonzo's ears perked at the noise – he knew those voices. Looking back to the Ragnarok, the mixed hedgehog shockingly discovered Rector Rose holding the emerald sphere in place with Silver assisting with his psychic powers. The one thing that really set it off was the fact that both of them were in their Super Forms. Silver was no surprise since he had mastered the Super Form, but Rector was inexperienced with the technique. Speaking of whom, the metallic-gold hedgehog brought one hand back, curled it into a fist, and thrusted it into the Ragnarok. The force of the attack shot the Ragnarok back towards its creator, who effortlessly tossed the emerald sphere into space. Zeenint growled spitefully at the fact that more hedgehogs – his most hated species – were interfering with his conquest.
"These loathsome animals." Zeenint hissed furiously. "They just don't know when to quit."
"You ok, Sonic?" Silver asked.
"The name's Sonzo." Sonzo panted tiredly. "And I've seen better days, but I'm fine. But the real question is: what are you two doing here?"
"My team and I were watching you fight that green-haired punk in Windy Valley." Rector explained, ripping off the glove that was burned by the Ragnarok. "We figured that you might be involved in some S-Class trouble, so we decided to send a message to everyone else. Amy and Kumori also saw you in Emerald Town."
"Shadow followed your energy trail and told everyone available to help." Silver continued. "But since most of us are still restoring the places destroyed by that hedgehog, there weren't many who were able to help out."
"So what's with the Super Form?" Sonzo asked Rector. "The Chaos Emeralds have lost their energies, so you shouldn't be able to transform."
"We figured since this guy was going after the Chaos Emeralds, there was an unlike chance of getting them back." Rector stated seriously as he watched Zeenint. "So the only way we could open the Super Form was to absorb some excess energy from someone who could already transform. Since Shadow had the most energy of everyone on the team, he was the most likely candidate."
"Where is Shadow?" Sonzo asked.
"He couldn't come." A new voice said; Sonzo felt pressure on his back. "Don't move too much or it will take longer to heal your body properly."
Sonzo said clueless for a moment before he felt a flow of smooth energy run through his veins, giving his muscles relief. The mixed hedgehog looked over his shoulder to the female. She was a feminine hedgehog with bright-golden fur, head-quills with black stripes, and three bangs sticking from her forehead. She wore a white sleeveless shirt, a black vest with pink linen around the sleeves, white silk pants with a pink sash around the waist, and a pair of dark shoes. Though this was the first time she was ever seen in a Super Form, both sides of Sonzo could easily recognize her.
"Kurami..." Sonzo sighed.
"Hold still before I beat you senseless!" Kurami shouted irritably. "You might be half of Sonic, but it's the other half that makes you just as bad as that green guy."
"So much for gratitude." Sonzo murmured.
"Grr...more rodents." Zeenint snarled. He watched down upon the collective hedgehog while gathering energy into his right hand. "The quicker I get rid of them, the quicker I can become the Highest One!"
The emerald master thrusted his hand forward, summoning an arrow of green Chaos Energy. But before he had a chance to release his attack, a sudden white blur passed over Zeenint's arm, sending an electrical current running through his spine. Zeenint quickly brushed this off. Due to the electrical impulses, his thoughts drifted towards Metal for a moment. That was before Hybrid dropping into view with his legendary Hyper Form ready for battle.
"Hmm..." Zeenint hummed curiously. "I'm not familiar with you. What is your name, rat?"
"For starter's I'm not a rat." Hybrid glared. "Second, my name is Hybrid the Hedgehog. I am a genetic experiment formed from the blood of Sonic, Shadow, and Silver the Hedgehog. Now you'll know who you're messing with."
"So you would call yourself another fusion." Zeenint said irritably. "You rats just keep multiplying. Perhaps it's time you were properly exterminated."
The muscle-bound master dived ahead with his fist raised and swung around for a direct assault to Hybrid's chest. But before the attack could make a connection, the pure-white hedgehog vanished without a trace. While Zeenint searched left and right for him, the emerald master gained an insight of Hybrid's location when he felt something pound against his back. Hyper Hybrid tried attack the Sovereign with an electrical-charged fist to the spine, but found it to be ineffective. The emerald master swiftly jabbed his elbow backwards, only to be disappointed about his near miss. He swiftly turned around to find the pure-white hedgehog drifting absently just a few feet ahead.
"You're quite the speedy little rodent." Zeenint smirked threateningly. "But then again, I wouldn't expect anything less from the formation of Sonic and Shadow."
"Actually, I was created without their powers." Hybrid said. "But by charging my neural synapses with electricity, I can amplify my own reflexes and agility. The only problem is that I can use it unless I'm in my Hyper Form."
"You're also very smart." Zeenint compliment. Hybrid's eyes shot wide with terror when he realized the Sovereign was directly behind him. "But that will only get you so far."
Before the hedgehog could figure out what had occurred, Zeenint slapped both hands on each side of Hybrid's head, leaving him dazed. After making sure the hedgehog wouldn't run off, the muscle-bound Sovereign clasped both and over his head and drived it directly over Hybrid's spine. Any normal person would have died upon impact, but the genetic experiment was merely shot into the grounds of Angel Island. The hole left created by the defeated warrior was at least three feet deep and Hybrid was left unconscious – his Hyper Form had faded. The former master dropped close to where Hybrid had landed and reached his hand out for the fallen hero's throat. But at the last moment, Rector's hand wrapped around the sovereign's wrist.
"Don't even think about it." Rector sneered menacingly. "You will not lay one finger on my friend."
"And what do you plan to do about it?" Zeenint challenged.
"I'm gonna beat you to death!" Rector roared.
The strongest of the hedgehog was true to his words. Rector pushed the former master's hand aside and drilled his fist into Zeenint's abdomen, forcing the muscle-bound warrior to double over. Though he was much stronger than most, Zeenint had not prepared to fight someone with Rector's level of strength. Seeing an opportune moment, the Virtex leader gave a swift uppercut to the master and sent him soaring to the sky. But before he could even get six feet off the ground, Rector grabbed Zeenint's ankle and forced him to fall forward into the ground. The golden warrior jumped up and thrust his foot downwards over Zeenint's spine in hopes of snapping it in two. Unfortunately, the muscle-bound master flickered out of sight just seconds before he could hit. And by the time Rector realized this, his head was captured within Zeenint's hand.
"You miserable little insect!" Zeenint snarled. "I will take great pleasure in killing you."
Zeenint tightened his free hand into a fist and nailed Rector's back, forcing the golden hero to release a small gush of blood from his maw. The emerald master then tossed him overhead, only to perform a back flip and strike his opponent across the chin. Rector was shot across the field and through the forest until he was nestled in a brush of fallen trees. The ruby-red hedgehog deformed to his normal appearance with barely enough strength to raise his head. He really wished he didn't. Zeenint loomed over the fallen hero with a charged Chaos Lance aimed for the hedgehog's forehead.
"So the rat has finally found a place to die." Zeenint taunted. "It suits you. Buried under the dirt that will always have more value than yourself."
"You won't win." Rector said defiantly. "In the end, only those who fight for what's right will emerge victorious."
"Heh! You've been reading too much comic!" Zeenint cackled. "Now shut up and die!"
Zeenint' expelled the Chaos Lance, only to have it suddenly reflected and bounced back towards himself. Reacting swiftly, the emerald master raised his forearm to block the strike effectively; though he did suffer a minor burn. And without him realizing it, Zeenint found himself being lifted off the ground and tossed back into the plain close to the emerald shrine. Zeenint safely landed on his feet while Silver hovered closer towards the ground with his hand raised firmly.
"That's as far as you go, monster." Silver glared.
"Ah, Silver the Hedgehog." Zeenint said calmly. "The mighty savior from the future. Of everyone, you're the one I wanted to meet the most."
"How do you know me?" Silver questioned suspiciously.
"I know a lot about you, Silver the Hedgehog." Zeenint spoke with a mystical tone. "More than you even know about yourself or the world around you." He started to chuckled humorously. "You may not know it, but you play a big part in the final conflict."
"Final...conflict?" Silver questioned confused.
"Unfortunate, you're too big of a threat." Zeenint said, clenching his fist. "If you are allowed to live for too long, you'll become a nuisance in the future. You'll have to be dealt with."
While Silver was distracted by the conversation, Zeenint secretly deposited a large quantity of Chaos Energy into the ground through his feet. However, Silver detected this and clapped his hands together in order to create a barrier of psychic energy. This defense was served well as Zeenint's energy exploded into a column of light, shooting the energetic hedgehog into the sky. The futuristic warrior released his barrier and caught himself in midair at the same moment Zeenint appeared to his side. The emerald master drived his fist for Silver's throat, but the golden hero twisted around his hand and captured the tyrant's wrist under his arm. The Sovereign tried to pull back his hand, but the psychic warrior refused to release. Silver's fist ignited with an aura of silver energy as he threw a punch directly for Zeenint's face. However, the emerald master grasped his wrist and pulled it to the side, locking both warriors' arms into place.
"Looks like we're at a stalemate." Silver grunted.
"Actually, that's a matter of one's perspective." Zeenint smirked victoriously. "If I had been taking you seriously, you would have died the first few seconds we were fighting. But where's the fun in that?"
"You won't win." Silver said defiantly; he could feel Zeenint starting to push him back. "Even if I am defeated, Sonzo will still have the strength to take you out. And if he doesn't, I'll use all that is within my power to destroy you."
"Within his power, huh?" Zeenint thought seriously. "He still doesn't realize the unfathomable power that lies within the depths of his heart. Iblis – the Flames of Disaster. If he learns to control that beast, he will be closer to god than even I. After I deal with the fusion hedgehog, I'll kill this rat next."
The Sovereign forward between his arms and held his leg outwards. The last thing Silver saw was a leather boot before his world went black. Back on the ground, Kurami had just finished healing Sonzo, who was testing his body. The bruise on his right cheek had been restored, the bones in his left leg had been realigned, and his fatigue had disappeared. But even so, he couldn't push himself to regain his Mega Form – not even his Super Form worked.
"Well, I'm better to say the least." Sonzo said disappointed. "But why can't I transform? I can't take out Zeenint without the Mega Form."
"Chaos Heal can only relieve wounds and fatigue." Kurami said exasperatedly. "I can't do anything about regenerating your Chaos Energy. I thought that the Nazo part of your brain would have told you that."
"You can't expect me to know everything." Sonzo muttered irritably.
"This couldn't get any better."
Kurami and Sonzo turned on their heels as Zeenint approached them from the left – Silver was left unconscious on the ground behind him. The emerald master raised his palm open towards the heroes and unleashed a series of green arrows to be familiarized as Chaos Spear. Without having much Chaos Energy left over from the previous battle, Sonzo couldn't afford wasting anymore energy on defending himself. Kurami seemed to be thinking along the same lines and jumped between him and the wall of arrows. The feminine fusion interlocked her finger and formed a circle with her hands – Zeenint could be seen through the shape. Both sides of Sonzo's mind recognized the attack as a compressed amount of golden energy filled the hole within her hands.
"Suck on this!" Kurami exclaimed. "Chaos Wave!!"
A golden beam expelled from Kurami's hand with such ferocity that his pushed the fusion female back several feet. All the Chaos Spears were obliterated in that instant and made its way towards it originator. Zeenint nonchalantly continued to walk ahead without caring for the incoming strike. The radiant beam made contact with the Sovereigns chest and exploded, but Zeenint continued to walk through it like it was only a gentle breeze. Though it seemed like a definite failure, Kurami relentlessly unleashed a series of Chaos Waves at the emerald master until she was too weak to release another. And by that time, Zeenint was already looming over her with only a burn mark around his scar.
"You're optimistic, I'll give you that." Zeenint said monotonously. "But if there is one thing I hate, its failing hope."
The Sovereign raised his hand overhead and swiped it down furiously, causing Kurami to consequently react. The feminine fusion raised her forearm to block Zeenint's strike and felt a great wave of pain course through her veins. With his bare hands, Zeenint had amputated Kurami's left arm. The hedgehog in question had dropped to her knees, holding the bleeding stump.
"Ah, damn it!" Kurami screeched horrifically. "Not again!!"
"Kurami!" Sonzo cried.
"She has the power to heal herself." Zeenint stated coldly. Without much care, he ruthless smacked Kurami across the face, sending her tumbling across the ground. "If I were you, I would be more concerned about yourself. I took out your little group and you're the only one left standing. And worst off, you have nothing left."
"But I do have something left." Sonzo growled. "Something worth fighting for. That makes me stronger than you'll ever be."
"You think this is some fairy tale?" Zeenint glared. "You honestly expect to believe that having someone to sacrifice your life over will bring you a worthwhile existence. That is a farce. Only those whole fight and love themselves with understand the value of true strength."
"Then how do you explain getting your tail handed to you by Aero." Sonzo smirked.
"I've had just about enough of you." Zeenint glared, pulling back his fist. "Say hello to my siblings in hell!" The emerald master threw his fist forward, only to have it captured by a familiar pair of claws. "You just don't know when to qui, you irritable machine."
Metal Sonic had jumped in the way of Zeenint's strike and captured the Sovereign's hand within his own. But despite his best defenses, the metallic doppelganger was forced to his knees with sparks flying from his claws.
"Metal?" Sonzo questioned.
It's funny." Metal murmured lowly. "And this time, I had at least expected to be destroyed by your hands instead of this disgusting failure as a guardian. But I've lived a good life – I found love, raised a child, made friends, and even earned my own arch-enemy. I'd say that's a job well done."
"What are you talking about?" Sonzo asked fearfully.
"The only regret is that i was never able to defeat you, Sonic the Hedgehog." Metal said mournfully. "But for what it's worth, you were the greatest rival I ever had. Just promise me one thing..." He turned his gaze back to the fusion hedgehog. "Don't you dare die to him. I'll never forgive you."
"If you're quite though..." Zeenint scowled.
In that one instant, the emerald master opened his palm and unleashed a wave of green energy – Sonzo was horrified. The metallic doppelganger that had served as Sonic's rival was unfortunately captured within the blast and slowly ripped apart. Metal's head was shredded into miniscule scraps, his upper body was obliterated within the blast radius, and blood was splattered across the ground. For a fraction of a moment, Sonic could see the beating heart that served as Metal's core before it was reduced to nothingness. As the remaining legs dropped to the ground with a thud – the cape unknowingly cloaked it as a sign of respect – the horrible truth was realized.
Metal Sonic was dead.
"Such a nuisance." Zeenint commented as he rubbed his wrist. "Now, where'd we leave off."
"That...that's not right." Sonzo huffed; his shoulders were shaking rigidly. "He had so much to live for; he had a family that loved him. Zeenint..." The Sovereign in question stepped backwards when he felt a sudden flare of energy emerge from the enraged hedgehog. "I am going to make you pay for all the people you have tormented. Aero...Heat...Obsiden...Lightra...Metal – in their honor....I will kill you."
"What are you?" Zeenint asked fearfully as the hedgehog's power spiked further.
"I am the hope of the universe!" Sonzo roared. "I am the one who will unify the light and the darkness and destroy you! Because if I don't....WHO WILL?!?!?!"
The energies that had collected within the hedgehog were forcefully ejected from his spine and scattered around him. The energies were separated into thirteen trails of colored light and turned their attention toward the emerald master. The Sovereign was shocked beyond belief when the thirteen energies reformed into the shape of thirteen serpentine dragons. Each dragon had its own expression along with its own color: black, gold, yellow, blue, crystal, grey, white, brown, green, red, orange, purple, and light-blue. *hint, hint*
"What the hell are you?!" Zeenint screamed.
"I really hate repeating myself." Sonzo grimaced, raising his hand. "Chaos...Spark!!"
Upon his command, the thirteen dragons opened their jaws and released a separate element from within its body. Zeenint was too stricken by fear to move and left himself wide open for an attack. The thirteen elements collided with one another, forming a towering dome of mixed energies that seemed powerful enough to wipe out the entire island. Fortunately, Sonzo had commanded the dragons to suppress their attacks so that it only charred the field. The energized dome evaporated a moment later, leaving only a thirty foot crater in its place. With their mission complete, the thirteen dragons evaporated into the air and Sonzo dropped to his knees in exhaustion. Sonzo remained as he was for a short minute before Kurami, who was halfway finished in repairing her arm, kneeled next to him.
"That was incredible." Kurami said admirably. "I can't believe you took him out with that."
"I...didn't." Sonzo stated tiredly. "Zeenint got away at the last moment."
"What are we going to do then?" Kurami questioned. "How are we going to find him?"
"That's already taken care of." Sonzo grunted. "He was in such a hurry to escape that he forgot to cover his trail. I can use Chaos Control to find him in time before the fusion wears off." He touched his heart, clearly trying to sense his energy length. I've got about one minute left. Better make it count."
And with that, he vanished in a flash of green light.
The scene alternates to the other side of the universe within a field of asteroids surrounding a nearby planet. A flash of green light erupted on one of the asteroids and revealed the shaken form of Master Zeenint. The human Sovereign was holding his chest and breathing hard as he recovered from the shock of Sonzo's sudden counterassault.
"That was too close." Zeenint growled furiously. "That damn hedgehog somehow gained a new power I never realized was possible. Oh well, it's only a minor setback. I'll continue destroying the planets until I become the newest Highest One. Then when I have the power of the universe, I will destroy them next time."
"There won't be a next time!" The shaken human sharply turned on his heels as Sonzo appeared across from him in a flash of light. "This is the end for you, Zeenint. We'll settle the score one and for all."
"How long do you plan to keep this up, hedgehog?" Zeenint chuckled malevolently. "We are two gods locked in an eternal struggle within the realm of mortals. The longer we fight, the more powerful we'll become. You should realize by now that our war will never end!"
"Not until I take it to within my own hands." A booming voice echoed.
"What the?" Sonzo stammered, looking around the asteroid. "What was that?"
"The Highest One..." Zeenint gasped. "He has awakened from his slumber."
"And it is through your doing, Zeenint." Mythril echoed powerfully. "I once thought that transforming you into the creature you despised the most would change your ways. But my plan had only fueled the fires of hatred within your heart. That was my own mistake, which I will now correct."
"What are you saying?" Zeenint questioned.
"Zeenint of the Northern Quadrant." Mythril announced. "I, Mythril the Highest One, relinquish your powers as Sovereign!"
At the moments his words were heard, the emerald master double over in pain, screaming in bloody murder. Sonzo jumped back at the former Sovereign's reaction, not noticing the thick trail of Chaos Energy escaping from his muscular form. But the longer he watched, the more Sonzo realized he was getting weaker. Zeenint's muscular mass returned to its regular shape and his once-emerald hair was reduced to a mess of thick black hair. Zeenint panted heavily – his powers drained and his body weak from exhaustion.
"This...this can't be happening!" Zeenint yelled furiously. "That's supposed to be my power! Give it back!"
"You want it, you got it." Sonzo smirked. The mixed hedgehog held his palm and summoned a mass of Chaos Energy, which he compressed into a familiar sphere. "Looks like it's the end of the line. You know, if you had used your power for good instead of evil, the universe could have been a better place. But then again, we can't have everything."
Zeenint could neither speak nor move. The ultimate realization had struck him – he was powerless. The former master sighed in defeat and lowered his head and Sonzo dashed across the asteroid and unleashed a fresh wave of pure energy through his chest. The emerald master could only watch as his body was slowly deteriorated into the depth of space with only these final words to be hard.
"Sonic Wind!!"
The scene returns to the sweet haven of Earth and stopped on the floating landmass of Angel Island. Kurami, who had fully healed her arm, was working restlessly to heal her comrades and regain her consciousness from expending her energies. Rouge was keeping herself busy by gathering the remnants of Metal Sonic, who had become a good friend to her after such a short while.
"You always said you were evil." Rouge muttered sadly. "But in the end, you were a hero like everyone else."
"Hey, what's happening to the emerald?" Rector questioned.
"The what?" Rouge answered confused.
The ruby-red hedgehog pointed to the shrine of the Master Emerald to emphasize his point. Much to the surprise of everyone there, the Chaos Emeralds regained their natural color and the Master Emerald shards started to culminate together. Piece by little piece, the shards reformed its original structure until the Master Emerald was once again whole. This was a sign to everyone that Zeenint had finally been defeated. And to further the celebration, Knuckles, Tikal, Blue, and Chaos had finally escaped their fragmented prisons and landed on top of one another at the top step of the shrine.
"Ugh...did anyone get the license off that truck?" Blue mumbled.
"I thought it was a typhoon." Tikal said shakily.
After regaining their senses, the missing four rejoined their friend at the base of the shrine. Rouge was unable to contain herself and jumped on the fiery echidna – tears of joy escaped from her eyes. It took several moments to pry the bat off her fiancé before they noticed a flash of light sparked just a few feet away from them. Sonzo had returned via Chaos Control just seconds before the fusion wore off, leaving Sonic and Nazo in his place. As naturally expected, the heroes cluttered around Sonic to congratulate him, leaving Nazo to be left alone.
"You did it, Sonic!" Silver shouted happily.
"I always had faith in you." Hybrid said certainly.
"Thanks, everyone." Sonic nodded. The cobalt hedgehog smiled merrily at his friends before noticing the God of Darkness slowly leaving. After pushing his friends to one side, Sonic cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted to his spiritual brother. "Yo, Naz! You better be ready because next time I'm taking you out, too!"
"Try if you must." Nazo scoffed. "My fate will turn out much different than Zeenint's. But..." He turned back to the cobalt hero, surprising everyone with a sincere grin. "I look forward to the day when it finally comes to an end."
From that day forward, the connection between brothers had been restored. Aero and Eise had been reborn and now the universe, and the Highest One, was safe from the threat of the cursed master.
Or were they?
The final scene alternates to the asteroid ring where Zeenint and Sonzo clashed for the final time. A Junker ship was carelessly drifting through the floating rocks while its owner was busy with its owner moving around in the back. The owner of the ship was a thin creature garbed in Arabian style clothing with a mask covering his shadowed face. The masked creature was polishing a canister was polishing a small canister with a dirty rag before replacing it on the shelf with the rest of its collection.
"Certainly is an interesting find." The creature chortled. "I'm sure it will fetch me a hefty sum of credits. But I'll bet it will get an even higher price on Griddlow."
The masked creature continued to laugh greedily and looked away from its latest acquisition to check on the rest of it inventor. The latest item of its collection was a heart contained in a canister of unknown liquid. But while the creature thought the heart was nothing ordinary, he failed to notice the green aura surrounding it.
*Thump, thump*
Darkness lived on.
The tyrant's reign has finally been brought to an end. Is this truly the last time we have seen Zeenint? Will the Sonic Heroes prepare for the final battle against Nazo? What will be the outcome of this great war? Find out on the series finale of Sonic Heroes!
