Welcome back, fellow readers and loyal fans. My first college semester is over and I might not have any classes until February, which gives me enough time to focus more on writing new chapters. As seen in the last chapter, Nack is back (That rhymes! XD) and he's got some new friends from the Lost Hex. They not only want to help the Legion of Subspace, but have gotten stronger over the years to have revenge against Sonic or anyone in allegiance with him. We'll see how things go now that Bayonetta and Gamma are on their side as the new bruisers for the group. Sonic & Sega All Stars: Subspace Unleashed - Seaside Hill Zone Act 3 *slow loading* 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... Go!
The massive battle between Gamma's new friends and Nack's deadly acquaintances had exploded into a massive battle on the heated beach of Seaside Hill, causing the atmosphere to turn from relaxing to really frantic. Gear and Zazz were running along the checkered walls of the rocky cliffs while the clashed a few times in a high speed battle. Several times, Zazz shot a series of purple energy shirukens to ruin the terrain ahead of them in their fight on the rocky walls. Amy brawled with her trusty Piko Piko Hammer as Zeena retaliated with her electrical Snowman Javelin, a weapon she used against Sonic in the past. They clashed within each hit being the women with the big and bad weapons in this catfight. Billy used Clippen's power for the blue bird to protect him from Zomom's flurry of yellow energy blasts. After each blasts was absorbed, the yellow Zeti inhaled massive amounts of air in an attempt to swallow both Billy and Clippen at once.
Alex Kidd attacks with a few Janken Fists in hopes of breaking Master Zik's blue energy shield. The wise Zeti smirks and uses one of his hands to telekinetically attack him from behind by cane. Joe threw shirukens at every shadowy bat that was summoned until the gloomy Zor had suddenly appeared behind him. He creates a shadowy scythe to attack the white ninja on his back, dealing pretty bloody slash to it. Bayonetta kicks at the red Zeti as he blocks every single strike with a corresponding punch due to his newly bound strength. Zavok then summons a pillar of fire to engulf the black witch, who luckily used her Bat Within ability to narrowly escape any severe damage.
"What's the matter, scared to lose your life. Stay behind and fight me like a deadly fighter!" said the psychotic Zazz as he continues to shoot shirukens.
Gear suddenly stops and leaped right at the purple Zeti to deal a severe punch to his skinny gut.
"You said that you wanted me to fight like a deadly fighter? You got it, demon!" he said while the Zeti still gagged for air during the blow.
Zazz was eventually sent into the ground from the attack, leaving Clippen and Billy clinging to a rock to avoid the severe suction from Zomom's mouth. Clippen couldn't hold on much longer and flew into the obese Zeti's mouth, which lead Billy to shout in desperation. Being the greedy Zeti he is, Zomom crunched the helpless Egg Animal with a dopey smile on his face. Within every gut squelch and bone crunch, Billy grew sadder and sadder while his eyes had grown watery. This is the first time he had witnessed such an innocent animal being eaten as opposed to dissipating into smoke like they would usually do. This pain in his heart led him to clench it while Zomom had already gulped his best friend for digestion. The massive Zeti licked his lips, wiped his mouth, and pats his belly in glee after such a sadistic act.
"That was delicious, now you are going to my next snack since your sadness will make you an easy …"
Zomom was knocked out by the force of a large egg that Billy had grown before the fight even started.
"You are going to pay for eating my best friend! I'll make sure to scare you from eating so that you can die like the rest of those wicked crows!" said the angry Chicken Warrior.
Zor is already on his knees in pain as Joe stood above him with his blade and body looked unscathed. Zor actually looked scared like he did when Sonic's had threatened him for kidnapping Tails on the Lox Hex.
"How ….. how did you ….. do that? You can create shadow clones like me?" he said in a weaker tone.
"Precisely, dark one. I've been trained to fight demons like you and anyone else with black hearts. Now get up on you feet and fight me like you really mean it!" he said coldly.
This led the blue haired Zor to change back into his gloomy expression and stand up on his feet. Black Zor-esque doppelgangers appeared by his side as the real rose holding one gave his opponent a deadly glare. Amy had already disrupted Zeena's javelin, leaving the green Zeti unprotected. Amy glared at her with her fiery eyes she had since Zeena told her about what went on between her and Sonic. Before she could attack, Zeena pulled out a new weapon to block her attack. It's like the Snowman Javelin she had earlier, but it comes in a pair, making things even more difficult for her female adversary.
"What's the matter, honey? Feel embarrassed for being overpowered by a stronger girl? Now you know that I'm really serious to teach him a lesson or two," she said in a mocking tone.
"You will not do anything to Sonic whether you like it or not, snowcone!" she remarked.
"Good, now this fight's really going to be worth fighting for," Zeena exclaimed.
She lets go of Amy to attempt flattening her sides with both electrical javelins. Amy started to do a continuous spinning maneuver with her hammer in order to reject both heads of the javelin with a quick and fast attack. Zeena smirks in response since this one of the few female fighters that she actually enjoys dueling. Lastly, Zavok flies after Bayonetta as she leaps across the rocky walls of the nearby cliff. She desperately shoots at the demonic red Zeti's body as he melts every bullet with his infernal abilities.
"You are really interesting, but your pointless weapons are useless against wrathful flames, witch. Tell me, what's your name?" he said.
Bayonetta smirks and bares some of her skin due to her suit changing. Then, a massive purple portal appears to summon a massive hairy high heel that eventually knocks Zavok backwards. As he flew, Bayonetta reappears behind him and kicks him towards the already hot sands of the beach.
"My name is Bayonetta and I'm about to kick your big red ass!" replied Bayonetta without care.
The red Zeti slowly climbs out the sandy crater with a look of disgust and impression. He cracked his muscular arms and then his neck to show that he had shrugged of that last attack like it was nothing. Bayonetta smirked since she's glad that this fight wasn't over too soon and licked her lips. Gamma flies around the air to dodge every single shot from Nack's special sniper rifle as the fuchsia weasel's on his tail. He smirks and decided to switch to a missile launcher since this was suitable for such a high speed battle. He aims for Gamma, complete with the targeting system locking on the aforementioned target, as the red robot attempts to attack him head on.
"Here's a special order of missile for ya, partner!" he said during the initiation of his attack.
Gamma locked on each missile and retaliated with his own set of heat seeking missiles, being the highly intelligent invention of Dr. Eggman. Nack tosses a smoke bomb in an attempt to blind the red menace's view during the battle. Gamma knew that it was time to use his impressive heat vision to seek out the gun totting vermin during this smokescreen. Nack sprang towards Gamma back to deal a deadly drop kick like the cheating weasel he is. Gamma turned around too late and was struck by this attack, causing his systems to malfunction slightly. Then, the purple sniper launches a missile at that same area to deal even more damage to him. Gamma wasn't going to give up this easily and pointed one of his guns in Nack's face to much of the latter's surprise.
"You shall not defeat me that easily, fool. Prepare to be eliminated!" he said.
He locked on his opponent's head and launched a missile at him, causing a explosive impact that clears the smokescreen. This eventually caught the attention of the wounded Zeti and all members of Amy's group since this was huge. Gamma looks around the area with his shiny blue eyes, scanning to see if his purple adversary was still around or dead for the headshot. He's like a bloodhound that searches the perimeter for any signs of life in the hunting grounds. Amy grew concerned for him since she can tell that he was severely wounded before the explosion had occurred. Zeena couldn't help but laugh since this was truly hilarious to her.
The red leader of the Deadly Six thought deeply about this and eventually smiled since she made the right reaction to an outcome like this. Zavok joined in on the fun with his sinister laugh as Zazz, Zik, and Zomom joins in on the mad laughter during this situation to raise the tension of this moment. Zor did nothing but sigh since laughter is one of the many things that he'd prefer not to do at times like this, which didn't surprise Joe at all. The laughter grew more sinister since it could be their way of letting their foes know that their leader isn't quite dead yet. A tired out Alex Kidd was going to question their obnoxious act until he noticed something sinister in the air. Nack really survived that last attack and he's hovering above Gamma with the guns on his Marvelous Queen ready to fire.
"This is what happens when you mess with The Sniper! Say goodbye, bub!" he said before snickering.
The guns charged massive amounts of energy and aims for the robotic target below as he continues to look around the area. Alex Kidd grew even more cautious as his heart beats as fast as he would normally run during this moment. Zik tried to attack him with a blue ki blast, but he dodged it to head in Gamma's direction.
"You aren't going to ignore me that easily, young one. Prepare for you painful lesson like a real student," he remarked before hopping aboard his levitating staff.
The brown haired boy ran as fast as he could in hops of warning his mechanical friend before he's destroyed for the second time.
"Gamma, look out for Nack's attack above you!" he shouted.
At that moment, the robot looks at him and attempts to process what the boy had aid to him. But this couldn't stop the Marvelous Queen from unleashing its dual laser blast at the distracted Gamma below. He turned towards the blast and guards before enduring another hit that would cause a massive explosion that engulfs the area below Nack. Amy ignored Zeena and ran after Alex Kidd since she could tell that her robotic friend was wounded once again. Her heart felt like it was being stitched, which makes sense since she felt that someone really important to her was going to die in her face.
Gear and the others ignored their respective Zeti opponents and focuses on seeing if Gamma had survived Nack's high voltage onslaught in desperation. The Deadly Six didn't really want bother since watching their foes suffer in the face of despair is one of the few things that really entertain them. The gray smoke rolled across the air as Nack takes out a pair of binoculars to see if his target is really dead. Everyone made it to the site of the chaos.
Amy stared at the same massive dust cloud with tears in her eyes, awaiting any sign of her beloved robot as the others waited next to her. Alex Kidd looked at her face since it trouble him as well, seeing a girl this sad and grieving over the possible lost of a friend. Billy Hatcher knew that feeling since Clippen was devoured by Zomom a while ago and he fought him successfully for the sake of vengeance. Just thinking about that even made Billy gloomy and he tried hard not to even cry again. The next thing they heard was another electrical blast, this one being fired at the Marvelous Queen out of dust cloud.
This not only electrocuted the smug purple weasel, but caused the Marvelous Queen to sink towards the rocky walls of the cliff for severe collision. Amy and Alex Kidd had gasped like the others since they couldn't believe it with their own eyes, except Bayonetta who unsurprisingly knew that he wouldn't die that easily. Zavok grew cautious and snarled a bit since this was a good sign that his master's robotic nemesis had survived the attack. This even worried the rest of the Deadly Six about this unexpected outcome, even the usually unimpressed Zor. The clouds cleared to reveal an enraged Gamma, who now has a pair of large electrical prods for hands. These were one of the many new weapons that his Chaos model possesses compared to his outdated E-102 model with the single gun for missile launching.
"You cannot defeat the Chaos model of me. The chances of you defeating me in this model is 25%. Time to make sure you don't attack me or my comrades again," he said coldly.
Amy smiled slowly as wide as possibly and felt that hope was one her side once again with this outcome.
"Mr. Robot, you survived the attack. I'm glad that you didn't die again that easily," she said before wiping her tears.
Alex Kidd and the others triumphantly cheered for the survival of their robotic companion as he goes for the kill. The Marvelous Queen slowly rises from the crater in the wall with a wounded Nack panting and cringing in pain. The sight of the E Series robot made him wish that he was never involved in this mission. He activated a force field to protect himself from being skewered by his special drill hands. He did a slight chuckle to show how relieved he is to survive the onslaught of this angry robot and groaned due to the wounded he had received from the shocking and crash.
"You are lucky that my girl's wounded at the moment. I might as well escape for now since this was just a test from the start. Farewell, bucketbrain," he responded.
Gamma didn't care about what he had said and desperately continued to attack the force field with every weapon possible to get at him. These ranged from iron knuckles to missile launchers to rammings to jet fire. An equally large red figure appeared behind him and sent him flying with a backhand before he was able to respond.
"Are you alright, Master?" he asked.
"Yeah, I knew you'd stop by to save my butt. Now tell the rest of your group to retreat for now," he responded weakly.
Zavok nodded in approval to show respect for his new and less abusive master.
"Deadly Six, our master had ordered us to retreat for now! We will devise a plan to get the emeralds and take on these fools later," he bellowed.
Upon these words, the other Zeti leaped after their red leader and purple master to escape the aftermath of the battle as ordered before their next plot of terror. Gamma hovered back from the direction he had flown and watches his foes as they left to an unknown destination. From these shining blue yes, you could tell that this robot is not giving up on them and needs to focus more on his concerned friends at the moment. He heard Amy and the others calling his name and obediently returned to their spot to tell them the bad news. From his serious posture and emotionless face, the others knew that something didn't go as planned after his attack.
"Nack and the Deadly Six escaped to devise some "secret plans" for now since I was proven too powerful for their master to handle. The chance of them returning is low and we are few to do our mission as they speak. Sonic and the others shouldn't worry about us since you all have me for guidance and protection," he said.
Amy and the others had to think about this since they were ambushed by Nack and his new buddies earlier and the fights weren't that easy. Amy really didn't want to disobey Sonic's orders, but did want to trust Gamma since he's much more intelligent than any organic creature in their world except Eggman. Joe looked at her and could tell that she's in the mood of making a decision that could go against what they were told to do.
"Well, we might as well listen to Gamma since he is the brains of this group. They'll find out soon and probably head in another direction," said Bayonetta.
Amy looked down at her feet and still thought deeply about how tough of a situation it is. She really wants to be as loyal to Sonic as possible, but feels that its time to be more independent for once and prove him wrong.
"We will go look for the next emerald immediately without his help," she said in a serious manner.
With that she walked towards the end of the beach with head up high and determination levels rising. This is one of the few times that she need to learn that it's time for her to fend for herself with her own group instead of depending on Sonic all of the time. Alex Kidd looked at Billy to let him know that it's time to leave Seaside Hill. He got the "message" from Alex Kidd's serious face and they both nodded in response. They ran after her as Gamma flew afterwards to catch up. Joe looked at Bayonetta, who's still hesitating to leave this place for some reason.
"Well, are you departing with them Bayonetta? Something seems to be bothering you," he said.
The black witch looked back at him looking serious unlike how nonchalant and flamboyant she was earlier since something indeed didn't feel right to her. She was more interested in observing the ninja's dark eyes and serious face. It's as if she was captivated by and listening to him at the same time at the moment.
"Well, I do think it is an appropriate time to leave. But, I …"
Gear ran in between them to interrupt their private conversation to much of her dismay.
"I hate to interrupt the chat, but we have to catch up with the others or else they would leave us behind. I'll be catching up with them beforehand," he said before speeding off like usual.
After that, the ninja and witch nodded in approval before dashing after the rest of the group as ordered. Behind a large rock, a familiar short Nightmaren can be seen watching them with a pair of binoculars. Goodle was possibly ordered to spy on them again after giving Reala the blue Chaos Emerald. He activated his transmitter for an image of his master to appear on the screen. He looked at his loyal minion with a serious face and hoped for him to say something worth listening to.
"So, what happened with their group on this sunny island?" he asked.
"Some purple weasel attacked them with the help of a group of strange, colorful creatures. They retreated since one of them, a red robot, was to strong for him to handle," said Goodle.
"I know exactly what colorful creatures you are referring to since they did help me and Wizeman out at one point. Though, it's rather interesting to know that they'll be helping us again. In the end, just keep following them at all costs," he said.
Goodle did an obedient salute and turned off the transmitter to carry out his master's orders. He eventually flies off the island atop his bird Goodle to keep an eye on his foes. The Deadly Six and Nack are gone, but what are they planning to do for their next attack? It will be seen next time as they continue their journey.
So the same greedy Nightmaren that had snatched the emerald from them a while back was spying on them the whole time and Nack is currently devising a plan with the Deadly Six after retreating. Amy is going to me more independent this time around, even to the point of disobeying Sonic's order. This alone is going to make her a more complex character later in the story along with Gamma and Alex Kidd. Poor Billy is alone with an egg and the lack of an Egg Animal. He might find something new along the way to make him feel better. :( That's all for now, I'll play with you all some other time (as Sonic would say). Lastly, rate and review if you can do so. ;)
