This is the final chapter of Sonic X: Call of the Dead! Team Sonic will finally end Eggman's reign of terror. I want to thank everyone for the reviews and for sticking by me through the story. I also decided to end the story with a little twist, but you'll have to read to find out. The final song for the chapter is by Avenged Sevenfold and the title will tell everything.
Chapter 10: Carry On
Dr. Eggman's Island
The chaos emeralds are the greatest source of power in the world. The emeralds grant the user supersonic abilities which can be used for good. This was not the case, as the zombie hedgehogs now have the greatest power in their hands. Team Sonic and Dr. Eggman stood in shock as the zombie hedgehogs were now consumed by chaos control. The zombie hedgehogs eyed their prey with fierce hunger for flesh.
"Oh My God!" Amy said holding Sonic's arm tight.
"What do we do now?" Blaze said in shock. The zombie hedgehogs sprung up and attack the gang.
"Run!" Sonic shouted. The team spilt as the chaos-controlled zombie hedgehogs chased them. Sonic, Amy, Carson, and Hugo were in a group. Shadow, Shade, Rouge, and Blaze stuck together and ran from the horde. Finally, Knuckles, Tails, Silver, and Cream with Joey were in group trying to survive the chaos horde. Eggman and his robots stood in their spots and watched the events unfold.
"This is fantastic! The chaos-controlled zombie hedgehogs will finish off Team Sonic." Eggman announced in glee. His excitement didn't last long as the zombie hedgehogs returned their attention to their former master. The horde attacked his three robots, but they were able to escape and hide behind Eggman. The zombie hedgehogs roared at their former master.
"Oh right! Run!" Eggman shouted running away.
"Wait for us!" Decoe said in fear. Bocoe and Bokkun followed their fellow robot and run from the chaos-controlled zombies. Meanwhile, Team Sonic were using their guns to hold off the zombie hedgehogs. Although they were able to kill a few, the main zombie hedgehog who had the chaos emeralds was bringing more warriors from the grave.
"We're completely screwed!" Carson said swinging his machetes at the zombie horde. He kept the book in his jacket; hoping to save the team from their demise.
"How the hell are we going to stop them?" Shade said killing a zombie with a death punch.
"I don't know, but we need to stop them fast!" Knuckles said firing his SCAR-H assault rifle.
"Or else we're six feet under!" Rouge said delivering a death kick to a zombie hedgehog. Tails guarded Cream and Joey by killing zombie hedgehogs with ARX-160 assault rifle. Amy swung her hammer while Sonic fired his M4A1. Hugo, Silver, and Blaze were killing zombie hedgehogs left and right. Shadow joined in killing zombie hedgehogs until he was knock down by a blast.
"Shit!" Shadow said in pain.
"Shadow!" Rouge said running up to him. Rouge checked him; no serious injuries but he was hit real hard from the blast. Tails and Cream ran up to Shadow and Rouge to check on the Ultimate Lifeform.
"Where the hell did that blast come from?" Tails asked. Sonic looked up and saw the main zombie hedgehog firing chaos blasts at the rest of the team. Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Rouge, and Cream with Joey ducked from the blasts. The main zombie hedgehog was blasting them uncontrollably at Team Sonic. Eggman and his three robots were caught in the middle of the fight.
"Holy Shit!" Hugo said ducking from a blast.
"Watch out!" Silver said taking Blaze to the ground with him. The gang scattered as the main zombie hedgehog continued to blast from the chaos emeralds. Eggman and his three robots ducked behind the desk to shield themselves. Sonic and Amy hid behind a wall and bumped into something huge, dusty, and made of metal.
"What is it?" Amy asked Sonic. Sonic blew the dust off and found their answer.
"It's Omega!" Sonic said surprised. Omega 123 has been shut down for the past month. The huge robot was a friend to Amy and Cream; going to protective mode whenever they are in danger. Sonic realized that Omega can help the team now against the zombie hedgehogs.
"Amy, Omega can help us now!" Sonic said to his girlfriend. Amy smiled at Sonic's statement, all they needed to do was turn him on.
"Let's turn him on!" Amy said. Sonic agreed and turned on their much needed friend. Omega eyes began to glow green as he began to move his parts around. His vision was becoming more clear as he saw Sonic and Amy with happy expressions. Omega stood up and saw outside the open wall. He saw Team Sonic scattering from chaos blasts and fighting off zombie hedgehogs.
"Omega, the team needs your help." Amy said to Omega. Omega eyes became more confident as he released his plasma cannons; he was ready for battle.
"Mission Objective: Termination." Omega stated. He made his way into the war zone and fired at the zombie hedgehogs. Team Sonic stopped for a moment to see Omega making his way to the team. Sonic loaded another magazine into his M4A1 assault rifle while Amy picked up her hammer again. The couple followed Omega into the main room.
"Hell Yeah!" Carson shouted in excitement.
"Omega, you're here to save us." Cream said happily with Joey barking in happiness as well.
"Hey don't stop killing. We need to help him." Shadow said killing a zombie hedgehog with his M16A3 assault rifle.
"Yes sir!" Hugo saluted Shadow before returning to his M60 machine gun and continuing his killing spree. Tails and Knuckles stood next to Omega and fired their assault rifles. Shade and Rouge continued to use their combat skills to kill the horde. Silver and Blaze were hiding from the chaos blasts until they noticed Omega pass by them.
"Let's follow the big guy!" Blaze said to Silver.
"Yes my fair lady." Silver said. Although Omega was making a huge impact, the zombie hedgehogs began continued to grow in numbers. Eggman and his three robots came out from their hiding spot once they saw Omega.
"Omega! But how?" Eggman said surprised. Sonic and Amy stopped by him to answer his question.
"We turned him on! Remember, your robot became Amy's friend." Sonic said matter of fact. He and Amy ran to the horde to join the others.
"Well at least we can survive a little longer." Bokkun said to Eggman. Eggman sighed in defeat and followed his former creation. The zombie hedgehogs began to target Omega, temporarily stopping him in his tracks.
"Shit! Omega is trapped!" Knuckles said. He, Sonic, Shadow, and Tails made their way towards their robot friend. Silver, Carson, Hugo, and the girls fight off the zombie horde in order for the four heroes to rescue Omega.
"Hang on Omega!" Shadow said ripping off heads from the surrounding horde. Omega was being overwhelmed by the zombie horde, but Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Shadow were able to kill off the attacking horde. Omega was freed again and continued his rampage. The main zombie hedgehog began to uncontrollably fired chaos blasts at Omega.
"Damn you bastard!" Silver said to the zombie hedgehog. Omega was now taking devastating hits from the blasts, but he stood his ground and continue to fight off zombie hedgehogs. Team Sonic and Eggman watch as Omega was beginning to break apart piece by piece.
"Oh no Omega!" Cream said. She tried to help him, but Tails held her back. She looked into his eyes and saw acceptance and defeat; Omega was willing to be destroyed for the team. Cream looked back and sighed in defeat; she had to let Omega fight on. The robot continued to make a final effort before the main zombie hedgehog threw a chaos blast at his power supply.
"System Overload. Danger! Danger! Danger!" Omega stated as he was beginning to shake uncontrollably. The main zombie hedgehog roared and continued to throw haymakers at Omega. Before throwing the final blast, Omega fired his plasma cannon at the main zombie hedgehog; causing it to drop the chaos emeralds.
"Rraawwwrr!" The main zombie roared in pain while dropping the emeralds. Omega had enough time to grab the emeralds before finally shutting down. Omega dropped to the ground, releasing the emeralds from his hand and next to Rouge.
"I got them!" Rouge said picking up the emeralds and placing them in a sack. The zombie hedgehogs begin to swarm her, wanting the emeralds and to feed. Rouge used her martial arts skills to fight off the horde.
"Rouge over here!" Cream said waving her hands up. Rouge threw the sack to Cream, with Joey catching them just in time. Rouge went back to fighting off the horde.
"Let's go!" Tails said grabbing Cream and Joey. The zombie hedgehogs than began to swarm the couple. Tails was able to kill off dozens with his ARX-160 in order to see Hugo waving at him. Tails tossed the sack to his hornet friend and saved Cream just in time before she was bitten.
"Hugo watch out!" Silver said pointing at the approaching horde. Hugo tossed the sack to Silver and Blaze and then killed off more zombie hedgehogs. Team Sonic played a survival game of hot potato with the emeralds. Silver and Blaze passed the sack to Knuckles and Shade as the zombie hedgehogs continued to swarm the team. The two echidnas tossed the sack to Shadow before killing off their swarm. Shadow began to run with the emeralds until the zombie hedgehogs began to jump him.
"Sonic catch!" Shadow said throwing the emeralds. The main zombie hedgehog recovered from the blast and tipped the pass, catching the emeralds again. The zombie roared as he was consumed by chaos control once again.
"No!" Amy shouted as the main zombie blast again. Eggman and his three robots saw tackled the main zombie, causing the emeralds to drop again.
"Sonic!" Shadow yelled while killing a zombie hedgehog. Sonic ran up to the sack, but the main zombie shook off Eggman and his robots before grabbing the sack. The zombie tried to infect Sonic, but he ran away just in time.
"Shit!" Sonic said. Amy and Carson ran up to Sonic as the main zombie resumed its chaos control frenzy. Team Sonic ducked from the blast, except Carson who ducked with the book in his hands. A blast passed by Carson, hitting Eggman's research table. Carson looked back at the book and finally found the way to save the town and the world.
"Sonic! The chaos blasts are the answer!" Carson shouted at Sonic. Sonic looked back at the main zombie and realized Carson's truth. The two ran up to the main zombie hedgehog, dodging the chaos blasts in the process.
"Sonic!" Amy said worried. She wanted to know what Sonic and Carson were about to accomplish. The rest of Team Sonic witness the two heroes running at the main zombie.
"What are they doing?" Knuckles asked with worriment.
"I think they are going to end their lives!" Tails said in fear. The whole team, including Eggman and his robots, gasped in horror. Their two friends were going to die to save the world. Shadow had a closer looked Carson and saw the book in his hands. He realized what Sonic and Carson were planning to accomplish. He turned back to the team and spoke up to them.
"They're not going to die for us. They're going to save the world." Shadow said pointing at Sonic and Carson. The whole team saw the book in Carson's hands and the chaos blasts he and Sonic were dodging. The main zombie roared as its chaos reign continued to grow stronger.
"Go Sonic and Carson!" The whole gang cheered. Eggman nodded his head at the two heroes in respect.
"Good luck." Eggman stated. Sonic and Carson dodged the blasts as they were a few feet from the main zombie. The zombie hedgehogs saw the approaching duo and began to swarm the two heroes.
"Almost there." Sonic said.
"Come on." Carson replied. The main zombie hedgehog threw a chaos blast right at Carson.
"Now!" Sonic yelled. Carson open the book just in time for the blast to hit the book. This caused the book's spell to be destroyed and the green mist to returned to Mobius. The book shook uncontrollably as the mist struck it, causing Carson to drop the book. A storm came out of the book and sucked the zombie hedgehogs into the book.
"Yes!" Sonic and Carson said in unison. The zombie hedgehogs were trying to hold on but the storm was too powerful. Team Sonic looked on as Carson and Sonic continued watching the zombie hedgehogs returning to the book. Eggman and his robots watched as the main zombie hedgehog dropped the emeralds one final time.
"Hahaha!" Eggman laughed. This didn't last long as the main zombie hedgehog was the last zombie to be sucked back into the book. The zombie, however, wanted something in return and dragged Eggman and his three robots by their feet.
"Ah! Help us!" Eggman shouted as the main zombie hedgehog dragged Eggman and his robots into the book. The main zombie dragged in Bocoe, Decoe, and Bokkun and had Eggman's legs in the book. Eggman scratched and clawed to stay on Mobius, but it was too late.
"NO!" Eggman said one final time as he was final dragged into the book. The spell was finally broken, the stormed cleared out, and the book sealed itself forever. Sonic and Carson slowly approached the book with Team Sonic looking on.
"Whoa!" Sonic announced. He and Carson then saw Omega explode and his right arm catching fire and landed on the book. The book was being burned to a crisp; it was finally over.
"It's over! We did it!" Carson said. He and Sonic congratulated each other as the rest of the team ran up to hug their friends. Amy hugged Sonic while shedding tears of joy. Hugo hugged his best friend Carson, and Tails and Cream shared a kiss. Knuckles and Shade high-fived each other, and Silver, Blaze, and Rouge had a group hug. Shadow smiled with Joey standing by him and happily wagged his tail. Shadow looked up to the heavens; he finally avenged Tracy and kept his promise to Maria. After celebrating, Sonic spoke up to the team.
"Let's go home." Sonic happily said. The rest of the team agreed with him and made their way out of Eggman's base and into the beautiful, clear sky.
Some people live out selfish desire
Some choose to shout when they speak and they'll be the star
Caught in the flame of those deep in fire
Seeking out those with a voice, one for tomorrow!
Once the team stepped outside, they saw more survivors coming out of their survival hideouts. The team smiled as the survivors cheered for their heroes. Cream saw through the survivors and found the one survivor she missed the most; her mother Vanilla.
"Mom!" Cream cried with tears of happiness.
"Cream!" Vanilla cried as well running up to her daughter. The two were finally together again. Tails and Joey walked up to them; very happy mother and daughter are back again.
They say we've lost our minds
We've just gained control
"I missed you." Cream said hugging her mother tight. Vanilla returned the hug as she saw Tails and Joey looking on. Cream released the hug and told her mother everything that happen, including falling in love with Tails.
"Thank you for saving my daughter." Vanilla said to Tails.
"You're welcome." Tails replied. Joey happily barked as he was welcomed into Cream and Vanilla's home.
Search endlessly, fight 'til we're free!
Fly past the edge of the sea!
No bended knee!
No mockery!
Somehow we still carry on!
The rest of the team were thanked by the survivors. One survivor in particular caught Shadow's attention. She was a dark-orange hedgehog; Shadow found Tracy's sister Marie. Shadow ran up to the lost hedgehog and smiled. Rouge followed him to meet Marie for the first time.
"Are you Marie?" Shadow asked.
"Yes." Marie replied.
"I'm Shadow and this is Rouge. We're Tracy's friends." Shadow said. Marie looked sad about hearing her brother's name.
"Where is he?" Marie asked in despair. Shadow sighed and told her everything that had happen, including her brother's death. Marie was sad that her brother died, but thankful Shadow mercifully ended his life.
"Thank you Shadow." Marie said with a small smile. Shadow and Rouge returned the smile; they were going to help Marie no matter what.
"Thank you Rouge for sticking by me." Shadow said.
"You're very welcome." Rouge said.
Silence your fear, we've got to move higher
High like the stars in the sky, guiding us all!
Battle the will of those who conspire
Take back the passion to live, vanish the sorrow!
"It's finally over." Blaze said hugging Silver. He, instead, kissed Blaze who returned the kiss. The two slowly pulled apart after the kiss and smiled.
"Yeah, it's over." Silver said. The two would look onto the sunrise; finally feeling at peace.
Destroy their perfect crime, watch the power fold
Knuckles and Shade said goodbye to each other, but not before arranging a date for the next night. Carson and Hugo drove off in the Topkick and H2 into the sunset, racing for fun and joy. Finally, Sonic and Amy shared a kiss and looked at the sunrise as well.
"I love you." Amy said in Sonic's arms.
"I love you." Sonic replied. Team Sonic saved their home world.
Search endlessly, fight 'til we're free!
Fly past the edge of the sea!
No bended knee!
No mockery!
Somehow we still carry on!
The town of Station Square had returned to its former glory within the next three months. The mayor awarded Team Sonic with medals of valor for the heroic efforts. After a month of hell, the zombie hedgehogs were gone and Eggman was never to be seen again.
Search endlessly, fight 'til we're free!
Fly past the edge of the sea!
No bended knee!
No mockery!
Somehow we still carry on!
It was night and Station Square was enjoying a peaceful sleep. Everyone was safe in their homes with their families. Outside the town, the wind begins to pick speed as it carried words throughout the forest. The four words that carried through the forest; Call of the Dead.
Carry on!
The End?
