Fanfiction:The Goddess of Destruction Part 8

''On the previous chapter of The Goddess of Destruction, Ray the Flying Squirrel and EG-002/Seedra, the Goddess of Leaves, following the signal of the radar, decided to head over to Station Square to search for the Elemental Chaos Ring which was said to be in the area. According to Knuckles, Casinopolis is where it was most likely to be. Not knowing where the place was, Amy Rose, who happened to be in the area at the time, decided to lead them there. Immediately upon their arrival at the casino, Ray and Seedra began looking around, but unfortunately for them, Metal Sonic Version 3.0 was in the area, as well. To add insult to injury, Dr. Robotnik, through a communicator, ended up telling him precisely where the ring was located. Ray and Seedra, who overheard their conversation, have taken it upon themselves to stop Metal Sonic 3.0 from reaching the underground vault at all costs. Three-Point Zero then decided to issue a warning to the duo, stating that he won't hesitate to kill them if they try to stop him.''

''His threat, of course, went unheeded, as Ray charged toward Metal Sonic's doppelganger, attempting to attack him. With the data that he obtained from Silver the Hedgehog, Three-Point Zero was able to successfully stop Ray with telekinesis, constricting him of any movement. After that, he tossed him into Seedra, knocking them both down. Shortly afterwards, before taking off, he advised the two of them to stay where they are, claiming that he won't be so merciful next time they interfere with him. However, his threat has once again fallen on deaf ears, as Ray and Seedra have continued pursuing Three-Point Zero in order to obtain the Elemental Chaos Ring before he does. There's only one question that remains… Who will obtain the Chaos Ring first; Ray and Seedra, or perhaps Metal Sonic 3.0? Find out in this exciting chapter of Knuckles' Chaotix: Elements of Power, Episode 3: The Goddess of Destruction!''

Seedra: That "underground vault"… Where IS it, exactly?

Ray: Metal Sonic 3.0 went this way, so I guess it's safe to assume that it's somewhere in that direction! *Points*

*They keep going and find an opened passage that leads underground*

Seedra: Yep, there's no mistake about it. This is definitely the "underground vault" that Robotnik spoke of in the transmission.

Ray: Yeah. Metal Sonic 3.0 only took off a little while ago, so he couldn't have gotten very far. There should still be enough time to catch him and get that Chaos Ring before he does!

Seedra: Alright, then let's go!

*They jump through the opening, land, and keep going*

Seedra: There he is!

Metal Sonic 3.0: What!? *Looks back and stops* So, you truly DO have a deathwish after all! I TOLD you what would happen if you continued to pester me, didn't I?

Ray: Yeah, but the thing is, we're not scared of you! Plus, we've got you outnumbered!

Seedra: Exactly! We can take you on!

Metal Sonic 3.0: …

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What an amusing joke! It doesn't matter in even the slightest, because "outnumbered" and "outmatched" are two entirely differently things! If it weren't for the fact that you're trying to hinder me from completing my mission, I'd never entertain the thought of wasting my time on vermin like you!

Ray: GRRR… We'll show you JUST how tough we are! Just you wait and see! Seedra, what do you say we shut this guy up?

Seedra: That's fine with me! His arrogance is REALLY beginning to annoy me!

Metal Sonic 3.0: HAHAHAHAHAHA… Pathetic fools. So be it! *Holds out the palm of his hand*

Seedra: Oh, no, you don't! Not THIS time! *Vines extend from her back*

''Before Metal Sonic 3.0 had the chance to get the two of them caught in telekinesis again, Seedra quickly used the vines on her back and wrapped them tightly around his arm. Shortly afterwards, she used them to swing Three-Point Zero around in circles and toss him into a wall.''

Metal Sonic 3.0: UHHHHHHHH! *Czzzzzt!*

Ray: Nice one, Seedra! *Thumbs up*

Seedra: Thanks. Now, why don't we hurry along and get that Chaos Ring before he gets up again?

Ray: Good idea!

*They run off*

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Gets up again* You CANNOT escape! *Jets after them*

As Ray and Seedra continued to sprint through the area in search of the Elemental Chaos Ring, Metal Sonic 3.0 chased after them, firing all kinds of projectiles at the duo, ranging from fireballs (due to copying data from Scorch and Blaze the Cat), electric spheres (copied from Shock), etc. However, the two of them managed to dodge his attacks each time he did.

Ray: Man, there's GOTTA be a way to shake this guy, but how?

Seedra: I'm sure we'll think of something! For now, let's keep running!

Metal Sonic 3.0: I'm telling you, it's useless! What part of "you cannot escape" don't you understand? All of your efforts are in vain! *Aims at them with his finger and fires another laser at their feet, causing them to fall over*

Ray: Ahhhhhh! *Falls*

Seedra: Uhhhhhhh! *Same*

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Flies past them and stops* You see? Did I not tell you that your efforts were futile? Hmph, you were fools to challenge me! You should have stayed out of my way while you had the chance, but now it's too late! Now, I'm going to see to it that your deaths are nice and painful! Now, if you have any last words, you'd best say them now, while you still have the opportunity!

*They get back up*

Seedra: (If only there was a way to get some sunlight in here, I could tap into my solar power, and put an end to this for sure!)

Ray: Do we have any last words? I think you should ask yourself that question, Three-Point Zero!

Metal Sonic 3.0: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, of all things to say after finding yourself backed into a corner, staring death right in the face!

Ray: Like I already said, I'm not afraid of you!

Metal Sonic 3.0: Now, which of you would like to die first?

…

I think I'll start with you, squirrel. As I've previously stated, you were one of the meddlers who interfered with me during my battle against Metal Sonic and deprived me of my victory! After you've been disposed of, I'll send EG-002 your way shortly! That shouldn't be very difficult, considering the fact that she's the weakest of the EG Experiments!

Seedra: WHAT!?

Ray: Seedra isn't weak! First of all, she just got finished pummeling you a few minutes ago! Secondly, if she were to use the solar-powered attack that she used on those Mephiles clones last week, then you wouldn't stand a chance!

Seedra: Thank you, Ray.

Ray: No problem.

Metal Sonic 3.0: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! A rather interesting choice of last words, if I do say so myself! Anyway, prepare to die!

''With the data that he obtained from Scorch, Metal Sonic 3.0 surrounded his fist with fire, dashed toward Ray with his jet booster, and threw a punch. Before it could land, Ray dodged it, causing Three-Point Zero to get his fist stuck in the floor. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ray decided to tail-whip him, sending him sliding across the ground.''

Metal Sonic 3.0: Oooooof!

Ray: *Charges up a Spindash* Ready or not, here I come! *Shoots toward him*

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Stops him with telekinesis*

Ray: Ghhh…! Not again!

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Tosses him into the wall*

Ray: Uhhhhhhh! *Hits his back against it*

Seedra: Ray!

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Aims his finger at Ray and fires a laser*

Ray: W-Whoa! *Rolls out of the way and stands up again*

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Fires again*

Ray: *Dodges that one, too*

Metal Sonic 3.0: Hmph… I must admit, you're quite agile, but speed alone won't save you from your demise! *Gets him caught in telekinesis again*

Ray: Ghhhh…! That's…so…cheap!

Seedra: Hey, you let him go! *Stretches her vines toward Metal Sonic 3.0*

''Just as Seedra was about to get Metal Sonic 3.0 tangled within her vines again, he once again used the data that he obtained from Scorch and surrounded himself with fire. Before the vines could come in contact, Seedra abruptly withdrew.''

Metal Sonic 3.0: You've made a wise decision. You're better off staying right there and waiting your turn, EG-002.

Seedra: GRRR…

Ray: Ihhh…! *Struggles to cut himself loose from his telekinetic grip*

Metal Sonic 3.0: What did I tell you before? Resistance is futile… You cannot escape, no matter how hard you may struggle! *Finishes powering up his fire attack* HAHAHAHAHAHA! The charge is complete! Just relax and enjoy your death, for you have nowhere else to go!

Just in time before Metal Sonic 3.0 was about to "fire", his flame blast at Ray, the smoke alarm suddenly began to go off, and then the sprinklers turned on and splashed Three-Point Zero, causing the machine to shortcircuit and lose his telekinetic grip on Ray.

Metal Sonic 3.0: W-WHAT!? THIS CAN'T BE! NOOOOO! *Bzzzzzt!* *Collapses to the floor*

Ray: Whew… That was TOO close!

Seedra: Yeah, I'll say! Come on, let's go ahead and find that Chaos Ring now!

*They take off, and eventually come across the Thunder Element Chaos Ring*

Ray: Hey, there it is! *Points*

Seedra: Adding to the one that Knuckles and Wechnia have found at the volcano, that's two down, and five more to go!

Ray: *Walks over to the Chaos Ring and picks it up*

Shortly after Ray picked up the Elemental Chaos Ring, a large energy beam was seen flying in his direction.

Seedra: *Notices it* LOOK OUT!!! *Knocks Ray out of the way and gets blasted instead* UHHHHHHHHHH!!!

*An explosion occurs*

Ray: SEEDRA!

Seedra: *Holds her arm as it bleeds*

Ray: Are…are you alright!?

Seedra: D-Don't worry, I'm…okay… *Collapses to the floor*

???: Hmm hmm hmm hmm!

Ray: That voice… It's Metal Sonic 3.0!

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Enters* Correct.

Ray: How is it that you're still alive!? We both saw you shortcircuit after getting sprayed by the sprinklers!

Metal Sonic 3.0: That may be so, but thanks to the built-in auto-recovery system that I've been equipped with, I was able to recover. Ironically, it would seem as if suffering that defeat at the hands of that obsolete scum, Metal Sonic has made me stronger! So far, I have been able to obtain new data from the Elemental Goddesses, as well as this auto-recovery system, which my previous body did not have!

Ray: Oh, now that's just GREAT… Anyway, you're gonna pay for what you've done to Seedra! You hear me!?

Metal Sonic 3.0: HAHAHAHAHA! Fool…there's nothing you can do! I am unstoppable! Even if, by some slim chance, you were to defeat me, I would only return with another spare body and grow even stronger! You might as well make things easy on yourself by relinquishing the Elemental Chaos Ring!

Ray: Not a chance!

Metal Sonic 3.0: Very well… Then you and EG-002 can perish together! *Aims his finger at Ray*

Right when Metal Sonic 3.0 was getting ready to fire, Seedra, who was seemingly unconscious, quickly made her vines lash out at him and wrap tightly around his arm, as well as the rest of his body, completing constricting the machine of any movement.

Metal Sonic 3.0: W-WHAT!? You're still alive!?

Seedra: Yes…as you can plainly see! Ray, I'll…hold him down while you escape with the Thunder Ring!

Ray: But…what about you?

Seedra: Don't…worry about me… I'll be fine.

Ray: Okay, but even so, won't Three-Point Zero be able to cut himself loose?

Seedra: Yeah, but…this should buy you plenty of time to get out of here and lure him outside! You…understand what I mean, don't you?

Ray: Uh...

…

Ah, right! I get it! *Runs off*

Metal Sonic 3.0: I hope you realize that this little "strategy" of yours is merely delaying the inevitable! *Surrounds himself with electric current and breaks out of the vines*

Seedra: (W-What!? I didn't think he would be able to do it THAT soon!)

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Blasts Seedra*

Seedra: UHHHHHH! *Falls over and lands on her bleeding arm*

Metal Sonic 3.0: Your death has been postponed until I could catch up to that squirrel and retrieve the Chaos Ring! *Turns on his jet booster and flies off*

Seedra: So far, so…good… Owww! My…aching arm! *Holds it*

Elsewhere…

Ray: Almost there…just a little more! *Looks back and notices Metal Sonic 3.0* WHAT!?

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Fires a laser at him*

Ray: GAH! *Jumps out of the way and speeds up*

''Metal Sonic 3.0 continued to chase Ray all throughout the underground vault in hopes of obtaining the Thunder Element Chaos Ring. Eventually, the two of them ended up returning to the upper area of Casinopolis. Due to Metal Sonic 3.0 firing all of those projectiles, the place ended up being in an uproar, with people screaming and evacuating the building. Meanwhile, outside…''

*People run past Amy, Cream, Cheese, Chocola, Big, and Froggy, screaming in terror*

Big: Uh oh… That doesn't sound good…

Amy: Yeah. I wonder what's going on?

Cream: I don't know, but I'm getting kind of scared…

Cheese: Chao, Chao…

Ray: *Comes outside, holding the Thunder Ring*

Amy: Ah, Ray, it's you! I see that you've found the Element Ring you were looking for.

…

Hey, what happened to Seedra?

Ray: There's no time to explain! For now, you guys should-

*Another explosion occurs*

Amy: *Looks toward the doorway* Metal Sonic Three-Point Zero! I should've known!

Metal Sonic 3.0: What's this…reinforcements? Is THIS what EG-002 had in mind by luring me outside? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Pathetic!

Amy: You know… I liked it SO much better when you didn't talk!

Metal Sonic 3.0: Wait, I recognize you three... In addition to the squirrel, you were also responsible for interfering with me last time, when I was about to dispose of Metal Sonic! It was rather convenient for you to bring me to them, squirrel. Now, I'll have the pleasure of sending you ALL to oblivion!

Amy: Give it your best shot! *Takes out her hammer*

Cream: That's right, Mr. Three-Point Zero! If all of us work together, we can beat you for sure!

Metal Sonic 3.0: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What a vivid imagination you possess! What can seven ants hope to do against a dinosaur?

*They get in fighting stances*

Metal Sonic 3.0: Anyway, I grow bored of all this talking. It's time I've put an end to your wretched existence once and for all!

Before anyone had the chance to so much as blink an eye, four solar-powered vines suddenly shot towards Metal Sonic 3.0 and protruded through his back, and all the way through is chest, as well.

Metal Sonic 3.0: UHHHHHHHH!!! *Czzzzzt!*

Everyone: …!

Cream: Oh! It's Miss Seedra!

Ray: You're just in time!

Metal Sonic 3.0: W-WHAT!? HOW DID YOU…!?

Seedra: How's…THAT for being "the weakest of the EG Experiments"!?

Metal Sonic 3.0: IM…IMPOSSIBLE! *Shuts off and collapses to the ground*

Seedra: There, that…takes care of him. *Retracts her vines and then kneels to the ground, holding her arm*

Amy: Are you alright?

Seedra: Yes, I'm okay… I just…need to rest for a bit, that's all…

Ray: Ah, okay. That's good to know.

Seedra: Getting ahold of that Elemental Chaos Ring…definitely turned out to be a lot harder than I thought!

Ray: You said it!

Big: Um, does anyone mind telling us what's going on?

Amy: I was going to ask the same thing. Exactly what's the story behind these "Elemental Chaos Rings", anyway?

*They explain*

Cream: So, THAT'S what that was about!

Amy: Yeah… This "Eee-Jee-Double-Oh-Five" definitely sounds like trouble! Hopefully, the Chaotix and the others will be able to find the rest of the rings before Robotnik and the others do!

Ray: Same with the rest of us. In any case, we're gonna drop this ring off at Tails' Workshop in the Mystic Ruins. We'll talk to you guys again later.

*They start walking away*

Big: Alright. We'll see ya later!

Froggy: *Croaks*

Cream: Bye-bye! *Waves*

*Cheese and Chocola wave, too*

Amy: Take care, you two!

''Thanks to the heroic efforts of Ray and Seedra, they were able to successfully defeat Metal Sonic Version 3.0 and claim the next Elemental Chaos Ring. However, there are still five more to go. How are the others faring in their search for the rings? Will they be able to find them in time before Dr. Robotnik and his associates do? Find out in the next exciting chapter of Knuckles' Chaotix: Elements of Power, Episode 3: The Goddess of Destruction!''
