Chapter 22 Super Emeralds
"where am I?" said Sonic as he look around the huge cave. Soon Sonic remember this place. "this is the old shrine for the master emerald but how did I get here?". "we summon you here…". just then a bright green beam of light hit the middle highest platform and the master emerald appeared. Soon Suzuka appear above of the master emerald and folded her arms. "your Suzuka!". "nice to finally meet you in person Sonic". suddenly, the chaos emeralds appear out of Sonic's body and flew into the air and seven beams of light hit each platform and seven huge colorless emeralds appear. "the super emeralds?" said Sonic as he step forward. At that moment, seven color knights appear above the super emeralds. "Sonic the hedgehog. Prove your strength to me and I'll fully summon the super emeralds power". "I understand. This might be our last hope! I'm ready!". Suzuka rose her sword and the whole chamber became a world of skyscrapers. "this place!" said Sonic as he stood on the side of a skyscraper. "hello me…". Sonic turn and saw his dark self standing on the tip of a flagpole. "you…". "lets become one again like the last time! Then we can beat Nazo for good!". "at the cost of my sanely!". "but you call me without fear. We almost had Nazo! If it wasn't for Blaze…". suddenly Dark Sonic smiled evilly. "…if Blaze is no more than we can become one forever!". "I won't let you touch her!" yelled Sonic as he ran toward him. "…you want to fight? So be it!" said Dark Sonic as he jump from the pole and dash over to Sonic. Both hedgehogs ran right pass each other. "Take this chaos blast!" yelled Sonic as he stop and turn to Dark Sonic. "Dark Chaos Blast!". both blast hit each other and made a crater which made Sonic drop to his knees in pain as he grab his head. "…w-what's going on!". seeing Sonic confuse and hurt made Dark Sonic laugh. "I can't believe you still didn't figure it out yet about this place. This is your subconscious. Watch!". Dark Sonic blasted the skyscraper near them and made a huge hole. Sonic scream in pain again as blood ooze out of his ears. "see! If I damage a building then you'll be in pain". "…but why!" said Sonic as he stood up. "look inside the building". Sonic put his face on the window and saw a hallway filled with doors. "inside those rooms are your memories and anything that makes you…well you. Now if I destroy a skyscraper…". Sonic quickly went into ball mode and use his spin dash and tackle into Dark Sonic before he could destroy a skyscraper. Dark Sonic grab Sonic and forces him out of ball mode and slam him into building and then drag him across. Sonic use sonic wind and blown Dark Sonic away. "…I need to stop him before he destroy my mind…". Sonic stood up and was shock to see Dark Sonic in front of him and unharmed from the sonic wind. Dark Sonic knee kick Sonic in the gut and jaw and then blasted him with a shockwave. Sonic went flying and was then punch right through the skyscraper as Dark Sonic teleported in front of him. Sonic came out of the other side and fell with the debris. Sonic stop falling as Dark Sonic grab his leg. Sonic felt like someone smack his brain with a baseball bat over and over again. Sonic tried to use chaos blast but was too weak use it. "your nothing!" laugh Dark Sonic as he release Sonic. Sonic open his eyes and saw the streets filled with water. Sonic crash into the water and felt heavy. "…can't move…I can't lose…". Sonic stank to the bottom and heard a voice calling him. Soon a white emerald appear. "never give up! Everyone is counting on you" said the unseen voice. The emerald flash and Sonic went flying out of the water and landed on the side of the skyscraper. "what just happen?". suddenly, Sonic was cover with black stuff and it started to cover his body. Sonic soon heard Dark Sonic voice. "we will finally become one!" laugh Dark Sonic as he appear on the right side of Sonic face. "No! get off!". "give in! you can't win!". soon Dark Sonic took over Sonic body and laugh. "at last! I'm free! Everyone and everything will fall! then…huh! No! this can't be!" yelled Dark Sonic as Sonic was slowly reappearing. "…no! you can't…sorry but this is my body! Get out!". Sonic return to normal and fell to his knees. "…you might of have won this time but I'll always be here…" spoke Dark Sonic in Sonic mind. Soon the skyscraper world vanish and Sonic found himself back in the old chamber. "you prove yourself Sonic. Well done". Suzuka rose her sword and a beam of light shot out and hit each emerald and their color return. Sonic close his eyes and rose his hands in the air and the seven knights drew their swords and pointed it at Sonic. As they disappear, the super emeralds release a beam and hit Sonic. In a flash, Sonic was cover in a bright blinding light and vanish. As Suzuka and the emeralds vanish, the wall above the old shrine scatter to reveal a stone painting. The painting had a mix color of a yellow, teal, pink, light blue and white male hedgehog with a circle rainbow and seven emeralds behind him. He was also holding someone's hand but the other half of the painting is unfinished.
