Chapter Sixteen: The Ultimate Super Showdown
Scourge looked onwards, and was stunned silent by what he was seeing. It was Sonic the Hedgehog himself. But this time, he was no longer Dark Sonic. He was his usual cobalt blue self again.
"Sonic?" Amy exclaimed.
"I can't believe what I'm seeing!" Knuckles stated.
"Amazing!" Shadow added.
"Baby-Blue!" Rouge added.
"Is he...?" Cream wondered.
"Could he really be?" Tikal prayed.
"Is that you, Sonic? Is it really you this time?!" Tails called.
Sonic then turned and faced everyone with a frown. Then he smiled warmly.
"I'm back!" Sonic replied.
Everyone cheered happily in relief, while Amy cried happy tears. Scourge however was fuming.
"This is impossible! There's no way you've overcome the darkness!" Scourge exclaimed in anger. Sonic smiles.
"Well, I did! And do you know how I did? While my outside was doing dastardly things, I was inside my own mind, fighting my own battles. And the secret of how I managed to beat it..." Sonic stopped himself, as he turned to face Amy.
"... True love!" Sonic smiles.
Amy's eyes were filled with happy tears. She realized that she has saved Sonic.
"Well, it doesn't matter any more, because I've used the powers of the emerald, and you're all powerless to stop me!" Scourge laughs.
"That's what you think!" Sonic chuckles.
And then all of a sudden, the seven Chaos Emeralds floated all around Sonic. Scourge gasped in surprise, but everyone else was stunned silent.
"How is this possible?! You couldn't have collected the Emeralds that fast!" Scourge yelled.
"Like a brother of mine once told me, evil only use the negative power of the Emeralds, but me on the other hand, I harness their REAL powers! And me and my friends positivity will make them work. And with our hearts together, we form the ultimate power!" Sonic stated.
Tails has happy tears flowing from his eyes.
"But where did they come from?! They're supposed to scatter when they've been used!" Scourge snarled.
"When evil and negative energy is used, they NEVER vanish!" Sonic angrily responded.
Suddenly, his quills pointed upwards, his fur turned gold, and his eyes turned crimson red. Everyone else shielded their eyes, as the bright light started. Sonic has now become Super Sonic.

(Sonic singing)
I was defeated and brought down
Oh oh oh oh
Dropped to my knees when hope ran out
Oh oh oh oh
Now time has come and changed my ways
.
Sonic looked down towards Tails, Knuckles and Shadow. He floated towards them and stood by them. He smiled at them, and they smiled back. Scourge was angry.
.
(Sonic singing)
On this day, I've seen clearly
Everything's now come to life
A better place, no more broken dreams
Now we leave this all, leave this all behind
.
"Guys, ready to kick some ass?!" Sonic asked.
"Damn right!" Tails replied determined.
"Count me in too!" Knuckles added.
"Let's defeat this fucking bastard!" Shadow finished.
Sonic raised his hands, and energy was transferred into Tails, Knuckles and Shadow. The four of them floated upwards, and gold auras came out of them
Tails' eyes turned crimson red, and his fur turned pale gold, Knuckles' eyes turned crimson red, and his fur turned into a light lilac colour, and Shadow's fur turned gold and eyes remained the same.
"THIS ENDS TONIGHT!" The four yelled in unison.
After that, the four charged towards Scourge, and all five of them traded multiple punches and kicks towards one another. Scourge's movements were slowing down however.
.
(Shadow singing)
I will not wait for what could have been
(Knuckles singing)
Right now, regrets won't ruin my life again
(Tails singing)
Oh oh oh oh
Will not look back
Let's fight to remain
.
"No, this can't be happening!" Scourge whimpered.
After that, his super form faded away, and now he is defenceless. The girls cheered on towards the guys. The guys then proceeded to beat the daylights out of Scourge.
.
(Shadow singing)
On this day, I've seen clearly
Everything's now come to life
(Knuckles singing)
A better place, no more broken dreams
Now we leave this all, leave this all behind
(Tails singing)
On this day, it feels real to me
Everything's now come to life
Another chance to chase a dream A second chance to live your dream
(Tails, Knuckles and Shadow singing)
A second chance to feel
Chance to feel alive
.
(Sonic singing)
Mmm, mmm, mmm
.
"Finish him off!" Amy exclaimed.
"End this quickly!" Rouge added.
"You can do it!" Cream cheered.
"End this, but don't kill him, whatever you do!" Tikal yelled. The guys nodded.
"She's got a point." Knuckles stated.
"We can't kill him." Tails added.
"If we do, we'll be no better than he is. Shadow, use Chaos Control to open a vortex, and send him back to Antitropolis!" Sonic demanded.
"I'm on it! CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow yelled.
A vortex then slowly opened, and Scourge looked towards it in fear. He was not conscious enough to move.
"Oh, fuck!" Scourge whimpered.
.
(Tails singing)
Fears could kill me
(Shadow singing)
And what I could be
(Knuckles singing)
Raise our sorrows, let's all breathe
(Sonic singing)
Can we set us free?
Can we set us free?!
.
After the vortex was fully opened, the four all grabbed Scourge at the same time, and lifted him off the ground. The four then slowly flew towards the vortex, while Scourge whimpers in pain.
"Guys, please don't do this to me!" Scourge begged.
.
(Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Shadow singing)
On this day, I've seen clearly
Everything's now come to life
A better place, no more broken dreams
Now we leave this all, leave this all behind
On this day, it feels real to me
Everything's now come to life
Another chance to chase a dream A second chance to live your dream
A second chance to feel
Chance to feel alive
.
After that, the four then threw Scourge into the vortex.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Scourge's voice echoed.
After that, the vortex closes. The four heroes then floated downwards, and their super form fade away. The girls ran up to their men. They hugged them tight, and the guys returned the embrace.
"Tails, you've done it!" Cream exclaimed happily.
"No, we ALL did!" Tails responded.
"Knuckles, the world is safe, the fighting is over, and we can be a family again!" Tikal cried happily.
"We sure can, Tikal. I'm never gonna let any harm come to you two again." Knuckles stated warmly.
"I'm so proud of you, Shadow!" Rouge exclaimed.
"I'm glad it's all over." Shadow stated.
"Sonic, I'm glad to have you back!" Amy sobbed.
"It's great to be ba..." Sonic cut himself off.
He broke the hug, and walked away from the gang. Everyone looked on at Sonic, wondering what's going on.
"Sonic, are you alright?" Amy asked.
Sonic didn't respond. He was staring at the city, which is now completely demolished, and he saw a lot of dead bodies. A sad tear fell from Sonic's eye.
"Did I cause this?" Sonic wondered.
