Ch 18: With Me (Massive Power)
A/N: This chapter is a tribute to Chakra-X's Nazo Unleashed.
"Super…" Manic gasped.
"…Sonic?" Sonia gawked.
"No way," Ash spoke with eyes wide.
"Wow, that is cool," Sally blinked.
"You said it," Fiona nodded.
"He looks even more heroic!" Mina squealed.
"Impressive, he's become more powerful somehow," Sleet commented.
"Mmm, he looks even more scrumptious in gold," Whiplash purred.
Each of the Mobians were giving their own reactions to Sonic's Super Powered state. They all through that the Council of Four defeated Dark Oak, but he was really playing dead. Then when their guard was taken down, he took their Time Stones, transformed to a new form and tried to kill Sonia and Aleena. Luckily, Sonic zipped in, transformed, and stopped it from happening.
Kronos Oak got up with a scowl on his face, but then he smiled eerily. "You can pull whatever trick you like. It will only delay the destruction of this planet." He aimed a dark energy blast at him, but before he could fire, Super Sonic suddenly appeared in front of him in a flash of blue light and sent a twist kick up the alien's jaw. The force sent Kronos Oak flying.
That was when his main rivals decided to not be spectators. With a roar, Shadow drew power from Super Sonic. One explosion of Chaos Energy later, Super Shadow stood proudly, his platinum fur shining and red eyes glowing. Silver let out a shout of his own, letting the power of Chaos engulf him, making his fur turn neon green and his eyes blood red. The glare on his face said Super Silver was ready.
"So they can do it too?" Bunnie gasped.
"Yep!" Amy smiled.
"Go Super Sonic!" Cream cheered.
The three hedgehogs flew up and met face to face with Kronos Oak who glared at them. "I was defiantly not expecting this," he commented, "For you, any of you, to reach this kind of power." Then he grinned as he collected dark energy in his hands, "But I could use a bit of a challenge. Because once I'm done with you, destroying this planet will be all too easy!"
Without a verbal response, Super Sonic and Super Shadow launched themselves at Kronos Oak, disappearing and reappearing as they did, trying to confuse him. Kronos Oak just waited patiently for them to come, grinning. As they got into striking range, both hedgehogs threw fists at his head. At the last second, Kronos Oak moved his forearms up, blocking each attack. But Super Sonic and Super Shadow were both too tenacious for that, so they began move their arms and fists at rapid speed. Kronos Oak moved his arms at the same amount of speed, blocking each blow.
As Super Sonic and Super Shadow were keeping him busy, Super Silver flew past them so fast, he wasn't noticed. Then he flew at Kronos Oak's back and sent a flying kick to send him some feet away. Then he shot right over him and slammed his fist on his head. Screaming out, Kronos Oak crashed into the ocean. Super Sonic, Super Shadow and Super Silver hovered a few meters above sea level, charging up for their attacks.
"You're going straight to Hell!" Super Shadow screamed. "Shadow Chaos!"
"Sonic Overdrive!"
"Silver Star!"
The three high-powered attacks homed in and hit Kronos Oak hard, causing a huge, flashing explosion that sent the water up into the air and spraying all around. As it began to settle, Super Sonic wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed.
"Is he done?" Super Silver asked.
Super Shadow shook his head. "The blasts hit their mark, but I can still sense Kronos Oak down there." And it was true. Kronos Oak rose from the sea, looking royally pissed.
"Man! What the hell do we do now?" Super Sonic growled in frustration.
SHOOM!
None of his companions had the time to answer as Kronos Oak flew up with alarming speed, stopping in the middle of the hedgehogs. He cackled with electricity and threw his hands outward.
"Thunder Storm!"
The hedgehogs had little time to brace themselves. As it was, they were knocked backward by the thunder blast a great deal. The two hovered just a few feet off the water, panting hard. Kronos Oak's chilling laugh cut through the air.
"Teme… just shut up already!" Super Silver roared as he sent another Silver Star. Kronos Oak caught the attack in a glowing hand, making the attack vanish. All four then rushed at each other, the three hedgehogs sending punches and kicks at the alien who sent punches and kicks of his own; the crashing of limbs echoed like thunder across the sea. Super Silver managed to slam a haymaker into Kronos Oak's face, followed by Super Sonic and Super Shadow who each rammed a foot at either side of Kronos Oak's head. The battle came to a momentary standstill before Kronos Oak's head twitched. He quickly ducked and used a powerful roundhouse kick to knock them back. The trio of them stayed some feet away as they recovered.
"Damn, he can counter anything that we come up with," Super Shadow frowned.
"Hey, why don't we use Lightspeed Attack?" suggested Super Sonic.
"You never cease to surprise me," Super Shadow chuckled. With that, the three super hedgehogs went into a charging Spin Dash. Their Chaos Energy empowered, building their combined power. Suddenly the energy exploded and the three hedgehogs were upright again, glowing ever brighter.
"Shall we get going?" Super Shadow smiled.
"Bust a groove!" Super Sonic grinned.
The three hedgehogs shot past Kronos Oak, who had to do a double take. The Super Powered hedgehogs began shooting past him in random directions in streaks of gold, platinum and green light. His eyes flitted back and forth, the signs of agonize appearing on his face.
"What's going on? I can't follow their movements!" Kronos Oak gawked. How fast are these hedgehogs?
"Check out my speed now!" Super Silver mocked. In a microsecond, he drove his foot at the side of Kronos Oak's face. Then he shot past him and kicked him higher into the air.
"Too easy!" Super Sonic laughed as he began his own offensive. He went past Kronos Oak and kicked him in the back of the head to send him forward and then sent him down with a kick in the back. At the apex of his ascent, Super Shadow's foot slammed into Kronos Oak's back, sending him spiraling back down Mobius and sent him farther with a kick to the face. The three super hedgehogs began playing a game of "get the ball," kicking and punching Kronos Oak back and forth. Then they reunited and swung a foot, each colliding collided with Kronos Oak, who was sent flying back to Angel Island. Kronos Oak managed to right himself and landed on two feet with a deep thud; the ground cracked as he landed. The hedgehogs reached him soon after.
Kronos Oak was breathing hard, having been pushed to his limits by those hedgehogs. "Well… you three aren't as easy to kill as I thought," he breathed raggedly. "I don't know how you were able to increase your strengths, but I must admit; it was highly impressive." Then an eerie smirk appeared on his face, his hands glowing black. "However, this also works in my favor."
"What are you…?" Super Silver began to tensed, knowing he was up to something.
"The power you now posses is most satisfying," Kronos Oak grinned as he aimed his palms at them. "Thanks to you, I'll now absorb the new reservoir of negative energy!"
The hedgehogs groaned in agony as black orbs slowly slipped out of each of their chests and then formed an aura around Kronos Oak. The new negative power coursed through him. The gold bracelets and anklets began to glow before turning black. His coat also turned black and his boots had a crescent mark on them. His irises turned into a sinister tint of purple with yellow surrounding them. Black electricity darted from his spines and his fangs lengthened. As the upgrade came to a halt, Perfect Kronos Oak stood before the Super hedgehogs and their friends.
"He's taken their Dark Chaos Energy," Knuckles snarled.
"What a horribly evil creature he's become!" Sonia exclaimed.
"Understand this Sonic, Shadow, Silver," Perfect Kronos Oak sneered as he looked at each of them, "The three of you combined with the aid of your friends could not match the amount of negative energy that I now possess. And although you were always faster than me, you're efforts will be meaningless once this universe becomes mine for the taking."
The Golden Wind growled, and then he snickered. "Look's like we have no choice then."
"You will finally admit defeat?" Perfect Kronos Oak smirked.
"You're wrong… dead wrong! Shadow, Silver, look's like it's time to use THAT technique!"
"Guess we have no other options," The Force from the Future nodded, "What says you, Shadow?"
The Ultimate Lifeform made a small whining noise, something very uncharacteristic of him. "...I just hoped that this moment wouldn't come. To imagine having to share my body with YOU. I can deal with you normally, but THIS?"
Super Sonic rolled his eyes. "Aw, get over it! It's the one shot we've got left!"
"Fine, fine! Let's just get this over with!"
The alien was slightly confused with what they were saying. "...As much as I appreciate your desire to keep fighting no matter the circumstances, perhaps it would be wiser to simply admit defeat?"
"Who said we were?" Super Sonic grinned. "NOW!"
The Super hedgehogs got into a triangle formation and held out their hands. Hero Chaos Energy flowed out as a blue ball slowly appeared. Everyone watched in wonder as they did their handy work.
"Chaos… Control!"
The blue light engulfed them and began to flash in bright light. The blue light grew in intensity, causing all to shield their eyes. When the light died, a new hedgehog drifted down to the ground, Chaos Energy rippling around him. His fur was in a dark blue and his quills were in the same fashion as Shadow's, along with the red streaks. His shoes looked like Sonic's but had Shadow's anti-gravity jets on the soles and his gloves were the same as Silver's. The fluff on his chest was similar to Silver's as well. He had three eyes; the left was red, the right was yellow and the one on the forehead was green. Two scar-like-streaks went through the left and right eyes. To top it off, the ruby medallion he wore that was once a lion head now resembled a phoenix. The Mobians looked on in deeper awe, as did the Earthlings. Perfect Kronos Oak, on the other hand, had a look of fear on his face. Had Sonic, Shadow and Silver merged to form this new hedgehog? Was this part of their true power of Chaos?
"Impressed, Perfect Kronos Oak?" the new hedgehog smirked. He sounded like Sonic, Shadow and Silver speaking in perfect harmony when he spoke. "The name's Phoenix. Phoenix the Hedgehog. Today, I will be your executioner."
Perfect Kronos Oak mood returned fierce as he sent a speed-of-sound punch at Phoenix's face, catching him in the jaw. He let loose a triumphant laugh, only to notice that Phoenix hadn't moved even an inch and didn't seem to be fazed even slightly by the punch. As Perfect Kronos Oak pulled his fist away, he saw the smirk had vanished from his opponent's face and replaced by a frown.
"You've done too much damage and destroyed too many planets," Phoenix said calmly. He slightly arched his head, loosening his stiff neck, "My judgment has been decided…. death."
Playing Song… Super Survivor by Hironobu Kageyama
Phoenix's fist clenched as it glowed with blue energy and sent it straight up Perfect Kronos Oak's chin. This punch sent up to space. The Fusion hedgehog quickly joined him and waited patiently for him to recover. The alien growled and dashed at the hedgehog, sending punches, kicks, and occasional blasts of lightning and dark energy at him, but each and every one was swiftly dodged by the insanely-fast Phoenix, who looked like he was playing a boring game. Phoenix yawned as he dodged a kick and casually leaned on his back, further enraging the Metarex King.
"Why!? Won't!? You!? FIGHT ME!?" the alien roared between each failed attack. Getting fed up, Perfect Kronos Oak threw a super charged fist at Phoenix, but the hedgehog faced and vanished just before it hit. The hedgehog just happened to be behind a meteor because Perfect Kronos Oak's attack destroyed it in a blinding flash. Looking around as the dust scattered, the Metarex King found him floating higher above him, arms folded.
"Don't you get it?" Phoenix explained, "I have the powers of Chaos, something much more powerful than the power you have. Although you have my Dark Chaos Energy, you still don't have an ice cube's chance in Hell to defeat me." To justify his reasoning, he ducked into a Phoenix Spin and blasted Perfect Kronos Oak back to Mobius. He increased his speed just before kicking Perfect Kronos Oak straight back to planet. After crashing into the island as flaming comet, he crawled out of the crater just as Phoenix reappeared. Perfect Kronos Oak now had blazing fury in his demonic eyes. He clapped his hands together, making a ground shaking sound, and produced dark electricity.
"You stupid hedgehog! You don't even know what true power really is!" he bellowed as he held his hands up and formed a huge ball of electricity. As the sphere grew and pulsated with energy, Perfect Kronos Oak laughed like a madman.
The sky turned dark and thunder crashed through the air. The sea around Angel Island was stirred up by the energy, sending shockwaves across the planet. While Phoenix stood there calmly, everyone that was clear from the battle held something firm and heavy to keep their footing, as the forming energy above was sending out violent gusts of wind. The dragons were even defending them from getting blown away.
"Man, what power!" Ash exclaimed.
"I think all that power and Phoenix's taunting is taking its toll on Perfect Kronos Oak's mind!" Rouge shouted. "Look at him! He's lost it!"
"I'll show what true evil really is!" Perfect Kronos Oak laughed. "Shout of the Thunder Clouds!"
The ball rushed through the ground and rippled through the dirt, right for the hedgehog. Aleena looked on anxiously as the attack came closer to Phoenix. Quickly, she drew out her sword and threw it at him.
As if it he sensed it coming, Phoenix made a swift movement as he grabbed the Oblivion and slashed it across ball, making it explode in flashes of lighting. Perfect Kronos Oak's eyes shot wide open as he watched on, succumbing to his own terror. Phoenix mimicked some slashes before he held the Oblivion in a position of a samurai warrior and allowed his Chaos Energy to flow through it. The blade glowed in golden light and rippled with power as his medallion glowed brightly in blood red.
"This is it," Phoenix declared, "Say goodbye, Perfect Kronos Oak!"
The calm look on Phoenix's face twisted into focused determination as his body pulsed with strength and energy. His aura appeared in a rainbow color. His eyes glowed and his fangs gritted.
"Chaos…"
He disappeared, reappearing a second later in front of Perfect Kronos Oak.
"PUNISHMENT!"
He sent out hundreds of flashing slashes on Perfect Kronos Oak as a gold symbol appeared in between them, which was the seal of Mobotropolis. He then held his sword in front of him before thrusting forward and striking at Perfect Kronos Oak's heart. The alien could only gawk in pain and horror at what just happened while Phoenix gave a characteristic smirk as he removed the heavenly sword. Perfect Kronos Oak stumbled back, close to death.
"N… no…" he chocked as clutched his gashed chest. "This… can't be… why…. WHY?!.... ARRG…" With those final words spoken, Perfect Kronos Oak succumbing down and exploded in a blinding flash of light.
Phoenix grinned, knowing that the monster was long gone. The storm clearing out proved just that. "I did it. I beat…" Suddenly, he felt lightheaded as his last bit of energy vanished. He held his head, using the Oblivion for support. Finally, everything went dark for him as he fell to the ground and reverted back to the three hedgehogs.
***********************************************
"...onic...?...Sonic...!"
Sonic's eyes opened slowly, looking up into Amy's solicitous emerald eyes. After a moment, that worried expression was gone, and Amy happily hugged her hero. Sonic blushed in a shade of red. Usually being hugged so tightly by the pink hedgehog annoyed him, but this time, he didn't mind at all. In fact, he seemed comforted.
Sonic looked over at Shadow and Silver, who were being helped up by Rouge and Blaze. The black and white hedgehogs grinned to the two, showing they were alright.
"Wow… that was intense," Sonic said as he got up woozily.
"I guess we defused after we blacked out," Silver said as he tapped his head.
Sonic looked around and found that everyone, everyone but Eggman, was at the throne room with smiles on their faces.
"Sonic you were awesome! You, Shadow and Silver!" Mina beamed.
"You did great guys!" Ash smiled.
"Way to go, you three," Fiona grinned.
"Congratulations, hedgehogs," the Oracle smiled. "You truly are incredible."
"You can say that again," Whiplash said as she walked behind Sonic. She grabbed his arm and pulled him towards her, trapped his legs with hers with her tail, dipping him down and giving him a deep kiss that made Sonic's eyes widen and his pupils shrink. Tails palmed his forehead, Amy began to fume and Elise just snickered.
When Whiplash finally let go of Sonic, he had a face so red, he'd be mistaken for Knuckles. "Uh… thanks?"
"Don't mention it, hero," Whiplash remarked. Cosmo giggled, and Knuckles outright laughed.
"Hey! He's mine!" Amy roared as she snatched Sonic away.
Whiplash sighed, "Oh well, at least I got the kiss. Maybe another one for next time."
Sonic's face returned to a normal shade of blue as he looked around again. "Where'd Eggman go?"
"He said he was better of with taking control of Earth so he left just like that," Honey explained.
"Oh well, I expected that much from him."
"There's one thing I'd like to know though," Tails began, "How did you get the idea of using Chaos Control to fuse together?"
"That's easy!" Sonic smiled sheepishly, "I got it out of my favorite anime."
"WHAT?!"
A/N: Yes folks. Sonic is a DBZ fanboy.
"See, there's these two super powered heroes that could become one powerful entity by fusing. I figured that if we could use Chaos Control in the same way, we called have they same effect. The Chaos Control we used was different from the norm. It can not only warp space and time, but also a creature's molecular structure. I call it Chaos Fusion Control." Everyone who never expected him to say something so intelligent looked at him as if he grew a second head. "What? I have my moments too ya know," he frowned as he folded his arms.
"Well, that was stupid but brilliant at the same time," Sally smiled.
"Yeah! It was so cool!" Dulcy cheered, "You guys were like 'POW! POW! SWOOSH! BAM!' And Perfect Kronos Oak was like… " the young dragon gasped as she held her paws to her throat and mimicked choking expressions as she pretended to be out of air.
"Alright, you can stop now," Zelda sweatdroped.
"Now, let's for alert the people of our success. We will have a victory feast soon, you should all come," Aleena smiled.
"Not us," Sleet said, "We have to move on."
"You guys go on," Amy said as she sat down on the steps of the throne with Sonic near her. "We'll meet up with you later."
"No problemo," Mina smiled, seeing where it was going.
All of them went out of the throne room and Sonic and Amy was soon left. Sonic relaxed as she held him close to her chest. "Don't scare me like that again, alright?"
"I'll think about it," He sighed, "Hey, once we go back home, you wanna do something together?"
Her eyes shinned brightly, she waited so long to here him say that. "I'd love to."
"That's cool," he smiled as he closed his eyes and allowed Amy to stroke his quills and play with his ears. All the while, Amy muttered something in his ears.
"My Sonic… my prince… I love you…."
