Fanfiction:Dimensional Chaos Part 11

''On the previous chapter of Dimensional Chaos, Silver the Hedgehog and Blaze the Cat ventured through Red Mountain in search of the sixth Chaos Emerald. Despite the surrounding environment "open[ing] old wounds" from the countless amounts of battles they've had with Iblis in the past, they still continued to forge onward, until they eventually found the emerald. Shortly after obtaining the gem, the volcano began to erupt. Before they ended up getting themselves caught in it, Blaze quickly used the emerald to Chaos Control herself and Silver out of it.''

''Elsewhere, Metal Sonic Version 4.0, after contacting Dr. Nega about his ancestor's abandoned projects, decided to break into Tails' Workshop, and steal the blueprints to the "Green Hedgehog Project", which Knuckles and Wechnia brought with them after obtaining the fifth Chaos Emerald from Mecha Sonic. All of the heroes, including the supposedly "reformed" Robotnik, began to chase Four-Point Zero down, but before anything could be done, he quickly used Dr. Nega's dimensional camera to make his getaway.''

''Meanwhile, on Ringstar Island, Luna has taken it upon herself to venture to Mount Frostina in search of the Snow Element Gem that was said to be there, but not before getting assistance from Volcana, as Oceana suggested. Using her power over the fire element, Volcana surrounded Luna with a flame shield to protect her from the mountain's sub-zero temperatures. After successfully traveling through Mt. Frostina, Luna eventually found the Snow Element Gem and released the Goddess from within. She then introduced herself as Frostina, the Goddess of Snow. After thanking Luna for releasing her, Frostina asked if there was anything she could do to repay the guardian for her act of kindness. Taking the Snow Goddess up on her offer, Luna asked Frostina if she would be willing to help her deal with the "dimensional invaders" who will soon be crossing into their world, supposedly to steal the Celestial and Lunar Emeralds to unleash the Ifrit. Determined to help in any way she can, Frostina agreed to it.''

''With that said, six Chaos Emeralds have been found so far. There's only one more to go, which Mighty the Armadillo and Tikal the Echidna are searching for at the Lost World. What dangers await the pair over there? Will Tails, Heavy, Bomb, and Dr. Robotnik be able to complete the adjustments to the Tornado Time Twister before the rest of Dr. Nega's plans are put into effect? When all seven of the emeralds are together, will our heroes catch onto Robotnik's scheme before it's too late? What about the mysterious Black-Hog, who also intends to use the emeralds for his own nefarious purposes? Lastly, when our heroes cross into the Lunar Dimension, will they have what it takes to lure Luna and Oceana over to their side, and convince them that Dr. Nega is merely playing them for fools? Find out as the saga continues on Knuckles' Chaotix: Elements of Power, Episode 4: Dimensional Chaos!''

Meanwhile, at the World Lost World…

*Mighty and Tikal are being chased by a boulder*

Mighty: WHOOOAAH! You didn't tell me there were any boulders in this place, Tikal!

Tikal: I'm sorry. I haven't been to this place in so long, that it must have slipped my mind somehow!

Mighty: Hey, don't worry about it. For now… *Carries her*

Tikal: *Blushes*

Mighty: Let's just focus on getting out of here! *Takes off*

*The boulder continues to chase them as they move downhill*

Minutes later…

Mighty: Oh, geez! Looks like we've reached a dead end!

*The boulder starts closing in on them*

Tikal: AAAAAAH! IT'S COMING RIGHT FOR US! WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!

Mighty: Alright, here goes nothing! *Sits Tikal down*

Just as the boulder was closing in on them, Mighty, using his super strength, stopped it with one hand, and used the other to punch it, effectively smashing it into pieces.

Tikal: Whew… That was a close one!

Mighty: Yeah. For a second there, I was beginning to think we were done for!

…

You know, come to think of it, maybe that's what I should've done from the beginning, don't you think?

Tikal: I suppose so, but the important thing is that we made it out of that okay. With that said, I think that was truly amazing!

Mighty: Oh, uh, you really think so? *Starts to blush as he touches the back of his head*

Tikal: Mm hmm. You're very strong, being able to lift and break boulders with such ease like that.

Mighty: Heh heh, thanks! ;

Tikal: *Giggles* You're welcome. In any case, now that that's out of the way, why don't we continue looking for the Chaos Emerald?

Mighty: Right.

''*They resume their search for the emerald*

Elsewhere, in the city of Station Square…

Amy: …

*Cue Flashback (from [[The Goddess of Destruction Part 20b])*

Slush: […] No offense, Amy, but for someone who's always claiming to have a "sixth sense about that sort of thing", you sure can be naïve sometimes.

Amy: What do you mean!? Are you saying that you know something about this that I don't!?

Slush: That's exactly what I'm saying, but if you want to know what it is, you're going to have to find out yourself. I already promised that I wouldn't tell.

*End Flashback*

Amy: *Starts walking down the sidewalk, deep in thought* (What could she have possibly meant!? This has been bothering me for the past seven months or so! I've even used that ability of mine to try spying on Ray and Seedra before, and I still have yet to find anything! It's almost as if they know about my invisibility technique, but how could they…!? Wait, of course! Slush must have told them! Yeah, that's it! That's why I haven't been able to get anything from th-)

*She ends up bumping into someone before finishing her sentence, and they both fall over*

Amy: Oooooof! *Looks up* Hey! You watch where you're going, Boobowski! *Stands up*

Tiara: I need to watch where I'M going!? *Gets back up* YOU were the one who bumped into ME!

*They anime lightning glare at one another*

???: *Scratches his head in confusion*

Amy: *Glances at the * Oh, hi there!

???: *Waves*

Amy: I'm Amy, Amy Rose. And you are?

???: *Holds up one finger, indicating that he's telling her to wait a second, and then jets off*

*Seconds later, the word "ZIPPO" is written/engraved within the grass*

Amy: "Zippo"… That's your name, right?

Zippo: *Nods*

Amy: It's nice to meet you.

Zippo: *Politely bows*

Amy: *Looks toward Tiara* He…doesn't really say much, does he?

Tiara: That's because he can't…at least not at the moment. I don't know all the details, exactly, but at some point, he yelled so loud, that he temporarily lost his voice.

Amy: Oh, I see. I'm sorry to hear that.

…

By the way, Boobowski, exactly how do you two know each other?

Tiara: Well…

Amy: Wait, I think I know! He's…your boyfriend, isn't he?

Tiara: Wait, what!?

Zippo: …!?

Amy: He is, isn't he? So, if that's the case, does that mean…that you've finally given up on Sonic!?

Tiara: Pffft, dream on. First of all, Zippo and I are just friends. Old friends, that is. The two of us grew up together, so he's a lot like a brother to me. Secondly, I'd never give up on Sonic. He and I are just destined to be!

Amy: No, I'M the one who's destined to be with Sonic!

Tiara: No, I am!

Amy: No, me!

*They continue arguing back and forth*

Zippo: *Silent sigh* (What could this "Sonic" possibly have…that I don't…?)

Meanwhile, at the Lunar Dimension…

*Music Cue*

Oceana: *Sitting by at the emeralds* ♪♪♪ If you're strong, you can fly, you can reach the other side of the rainbow… ♪♪♪ It's alright, take a chance, 'cause there is no circumstance that you can't handle! ♪♪♪ Mr. Bad's got it good, but this ain't his neighborhood he's- ♪♪♪ *Notices Volcana* Eek! *Jumps up, slightly startled* Oh, hey, Volcana. How long have you been there?

Volcana: I just got here, actually. Since Luna will most likely be coming back with Frostina and the Snow Element Gem, I thought I'd stop by.

Oceana: Makes sense.

Volcana: By the way, I had no idea you were such a good singer!

Oceana: You really think so? Thanks!

Volcana: No prob. Have you ever thought of making a career out of that, or something?

Oceana: To be honest, that's never really crossed my mind, but I just may consider it someday. *Looks ahead and gasps* …!

Volcana: Hmm? What's the matter? *Looks* Oh!

*Luna and Frostina approach the altar*

Luna: I'm back!

Frostina: Volcana, Oceana! It's been so long!

*The three of them hug*

Luna: So, this is what family reunions are like…

Oceana: Hmm?

Luna: Well, as you already know, I've lived on this island my whole life, and I've been alone as far back as I can remember. Up until now, I've never really known what it was like to have family, or even friends for that matter…

Oceana: Oh, I see. I'm sorry to hear that, but there's no need to feel that way anymore, Luna. You've got us now, so you'll never have to worry about being alone again.

Frostina: Shannah's right. It's because of you, along with that "Doctor N." guy, that we were reunited in the first place. We owe so much to the both of you.

Oceana: That's right. Even though we've only known each other for a short amount of time so far, I think I can safely say that you're one of the nicest people I've met so far, Luna. In fact, you're…a lot like a sister to me.

Luna: You…really mean that?

Oceana: Of course I do. You're my best friend. As far as I'm concerned, you're our sister, too.

Volcana: Basically, everything they said. If you want, you're free to join our little group hug.

Luna: Thanks, I… *Wipes a tear from her eye* …Don't mind if I do.

''*Luna joins their group hug*

Meanwhile, at the Newtrogic High Zone…

Nega Robotnik: Welcome to life, my friends! Allow me to introduce myself. I am Doctor Eggman Nega, also known as "Nega Robotnik", "Dr. Nega", or simply "Doctor N.", if you prefer. I am the brilliant descendant of your creator, Dr. Ivo Robotnik! The five of you are known as the "Mechaotix" team.

Knuckles Clone: "Mech Chaotix"? I suppose we can live with that.

Vector Clone: Yeah. You might think this is a stupid question, but…what're our names, exactly?

Nega Robotnik: So, my ancestor didn't bother to give you individual names? Well, I suppose that's up to me then. *Thinks* How about… "Mechidna"... "Armordillo" … "Mechameleon"… "Beedroid", and… "Mechadile"?

*They agree to the names*

Nega Robotnik: Eee hee hee! Excellent! I'm glad we're all on the same page!

Beedroid: Um, no offense, Doctor, but your laugh is really, REALLY weird…

Mechadile: Yeah, I'm gonna hafta agree wit' cha, there.

Nega Robotnik: None taken. After all, it wouldn't be the first time I've heard someone say that.

Beedroid: Hee hee, " bee the first time". Get it, you guys? *Snickers*

Armordillo: Huh?

…

Ah, right, I get it. Nice one.

Nega Robotnik: Yes, very nice indeed. Now, without further ado, let's move onto more…important matters. Why don't the five of you come with me to my fortress? I'd like to test your abilities, if that's alright with you. It'll be good practice for when you take revenge on Dr. Robotnik, along with his associates, for abandoning you the way he did!

Mechameleon: Sure, why not? Just out of curiosity, exactly what is it that you have against your ancestor?

Nega Robotnik: It's a long story, so I'd rather not bore you with all the details right now. *Takes out his dimensional camera and activates another portal* Follow me now, gentlemen. My base is right this way! *Jumps through the portal*

*The Mechaotix follow*

Elsewhere, later on, at the Lost World entrance at the Mystic Ruins…

*Music Cue*

Tikal: *Holding the clear Chaos Emerald* Finally… The Chaos Emerald is in our hands!

Mighty: Yep. Along with the one that Tails already has at his workshop, that makes seven of them! Assuming that Knuckles and the others found the rest that were being detected on radar, that is.

Tikal: Yeah. Why don't we go ahead and drop this off? That way, you and I can pick up where we left off. You know, before all of this started? *Winks*

Mighty: Heh heh, sounds good!

Tikal: Chaos Con-

''Before Tikal had the chance to finish her sentence, a smoke bomb was suddenly thrown in front of the. The moment it came in contact with the ground, it exploded, clouding Mighty and Tikal's vision in the process.''

Tikal: *Coughs*

Mighty: Where…where did that come from!? *Comes*

*Music Cue*

???: HAHAHAHA… Too easy!

Mighty: Wait a minute, that voice… This is Bean, isn't it!?

Bean: You got it!

Nack: 'N' 'dat ain't all! I'm here, too, ya know!

Mighty: I should've figured…

Nack: Oh, 'n' by 'da way… *Snatches the emerald from Tikal*

Tikal: Hey!

Nack: Thanks fa 'de emerald, chumps!

Bean: Yep, couldn't have done it without ya! Actually, no, we could've… We just figured it was a lot easier having YOU do all the dirtywork for us!

Mighty: GRRR…

Nack: HAHAHAHAHA! Sayonara, suckers! C'mon, Bean, let's go ahead 'n' bus' outta 'dis joint! *Runs off*

Bean: *Does the same*

Tikal: Hey, you get back here! *Chases after them*

Mighty: *Follows them, too*

Meanwhile, further into the jungle…

*Music Cue*



Uh, how do you know?

Spangle: Ah, come on, ain't it obvious? His vehicle is here, and so is his scent.

Spike: Oh, okay. So, what do we do next?

Spangle: … *Anime fall*

Spike: What? What'd I do?

Spangle: *Gets back up* In other words, if we follow this scent, we'll finally be able to catch that dirtbag and have 'im put away! Spike, buddy, no offense, but shouldn't that have been common sense?

Spike: Uh, maybe, but shouldn't it also be common sense that if a girl slaps you, then she doesn't like you?

Spangle: Like I said before, that busty babe was just playin' hard to get, that's all.

Spike: Uh huh. Sure she was.

Spangle: Ah, shut up. Anyway, let's go ahead and find Fang before he gets away. The sooner we arrest him, the sooner the rest of the force will start taking us seriously! *Runs off*

Spike: *Follows*

Meanwhile, at the scene of the chase…

Nack: So, 'da two o' youse 'r' followin' us, eh? Time fa me ta bussa cap 'n 'da bofa yas! *Aims his gun at them, and fires*

Tikal: Ahhhhhh! *Dodges*

Mighty: *Briefly turns around and blocks the bullet with his shell*

Bean: Here, have a taste of Dynamite Power instead! *Tosses a few bombs at them*

''*They dodge those, too*

A little while later…''

*Music Cue*

Nack: What 'da…!? How'd 'ju manage ta geddin front've us!?

Tikal: We took a shortcut. Like Knuckles, I know all about this island's secret passages.

Mighty: Why don't the two of you stop running, and face us?

Nack: Yeah, y'know what? 'Dat's fine wit' me! Ah'm gettin' tired o' you, Sonic, 'n' 'da rest o' 'dose Chaotix chumps pokin' ya noses into our bui'ness all 'da time!

Mighty: …What're you talking about? You're the ones who took the emerald from us!

Nack: Wudevah! 'Da point is, we're gonna go ahead 'n' settle 'dis! Right here 'n' now!

Bean: You got that right. This time, the only way YOU'RE walking away from this battle is in pieces!

Mighty: Just try it!

Tikal: We're ready when you are!

Nack: HAHAHA! A'ight, you asked for it, chumps!

''*The battle begins*

Minutes later into the fight…''

Nack: Oooof! Not bad, chump! Not bad! Unfoichunately fa you, though, it's 'de end o' 'da line!

Mighty: Is that so?

Nack: *Takes out his gun again and fires more bullets at Mighty*

Mighty: *Dodges them* Honestly, why do you even bother? At this point, you're just wasting ammo.

Nack: HA! I wouldn't get too cocky if I was you, bruddah! It's true 'dat 'chu might have 'da speed ta dodge all my bullets 'n' whatnot, but whadda 'bout 'cha li'l girlfriend?

Tikal: Wait, what!?

Mighty: Hey! Your fight's with me! Leave her out of this!

Nack: HAHAHAHA! Oh, don't 'chu worry! You'll get ya toin! *Aims the gun at Tikal, getting ready to pull the trigger* Lights out, wench!

Tikal: …!

Just in time before Nack pulled the trigger, Mighty abruptly got in front of Tikal, and ended up taking the bullet instead, effectively injuring his side before he had the chance to block the projectile with his shell.

Mighty: UHHHHHHH!!! *Kneels down, holding his side*

Tikal: MIGHTY!!!

Nack: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It was a bull's eye, a freakin' bull's eye! I knew 'dat was gonna woik, I just KNEW it!

Tikal: What!? What do you mean!?

Nack: Me aimin' my gun at 'chu was just a ruse ta get 'im ta let 'is guard down, 'n' keep 'im from dodgin' anuddah one o' my bullets! In uddah woids, he's 'da one I intended ta shoot all along! 'N' it woiked poifectly, just I knew it would! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ah'mma freakin' GENIUS!

Tikal: You MONSTER! How could you!?

Nack: HAHAHAHAHAHA! Like Ah'm always sayin', as long as it comes down ta me gettin' paid, 'den I do wudevah it takes ta get 'da job done!

Tikal: *Starts fuming with anger*

Nack: *Aims his gun at her again* Time ta say goodnight, toots! *Pulls the trigger, but nothing happens other than clicking sound* What 'da…!? Ah, crap! Not again!

Tikal: *Charges at Nack, tackles him, and starts punching him repeatedly*

Nack: AH, CRAAAAAAP!

Bean: *Shoves Tikal off of Nack*

Tikal: Uhhhhh! *Falls over*

Nack: *Gets up* Ya stinkin' li'l wench! Ya lucky I ran outta ammo, y'hear!? 'Cause I'd pump ya guts full o' lead right now!

Tikal: *Stands up again, too*

Bean: You still have a knife, don't you? Why not stab her, or something?

Nack: Y'know, 'dat's just what I had in mind! *Reaches for the knife on his belt*

*Spangle and Spike arrive before he does*

Spangle: Hey, you two there! Freeze! *Points a gun at them*

Spike: *Does the same* You're under arrest!

Nack: Ah, damn it! Of all places fa 'da cops ta be, why here!?

Bean: I vote we run! *Takes off*

Nack: You're definitely speakin' my language, bruddah! *Follows him, accidentally and unknowingly dropping the Chaos Emerald from his belt in the process*

*Spangle and Spike chase after them*

Mighty: Cowards… Ghhhh…! *Holds his side*

*Music Cue*

Tikal: *Rushes toward Mighty and kneels beside him* Mighty… Are…are you alright!?

Mighty: D-Don't worry; I'll…be fine…

Tikal: You… You got hurt because of me… I'm so sorry… *Tears fill her eyes and run down her face*

Mighty: Hey, don't…don't sweat it. *Gently touches her face and wipes the tears* It wasn't your fault… I'm the one who…fell for that trick of his…

Tikal: I know you're the one who turned out to be his intended target, but still… No one's ever done something like that for me before, and I just want you to know that I'm very grateful for it. Thank you… *Kisses him*

Mighty: …! *Turns completely red* R-Really, it was nothing. ;

Tikal: *Giggles* Now, didn't Shadow say before that there were some healing devices up at the ARK? You know, which he used on Tiara that one time?

Mighty: Ah, yeah, I do remember him saying that, come to think of it!

Tikal: Come on. *Picks up the Chaos Emerald, and helps Mighty up* Let's get you healed. Chaos Control!

''*They disappear in a flash of light*

At last, all seven Chaos Emeralds have been obtained, and the adjustments to the Tornado Time Twister are getting closer to completion, which means that the Chaotix and company will soon be able to cross into the Lunar Dimension to put a stop to Dr. Nega's latest scheme. However, even as we speak, his project is also close to completion. Not only that, but he's been recruiting new additions to his forces, including the Mechaotix team. Will Tails and Dr. Robotnik be able to complete the Time Twister's adjustments before the "PG Experiments" are finished? Find out on the next exciting chapter of Knuckles' Chaotix: Elements of Power, Episode 4: Dimensional Chaos!''
