Fanfiction:The Goddess of Destruction Part 19e

''When we last left off, Knuckles, the Chaotix, and company, after using the power of the Chaos Emeralds to power up, resumed their battle against EG-005/Silvra, in an effort to stall her until Cream and all the others manage to confiscate and destroy the remote control device that Dr. Robotnik was using to control her. So far, the battle has been pretty close, but eventually, it got to the point where the heroes' ring energy was about to wear off after taking one of Silvra's devastating attacks head-on. However, thanks to Rouge and Omega, their ring energy was refueled, and they were able to resume the battle.''

''Meanwhile, down at the base, Scorch, while watching the switch-hunting group's battle against Metal Sonic Version 3.0, began to worry that she would eventually have to fight against her sisters if they managed to defeat him. Shortly afterwards, an explosion was heard somewhere around the base, and it turned out to be none other than Bean the Dynamite, as well as Nack the Weasel/Fang the Sniper, who caused it. According to the recorded video footage, the two of them were stealing money from Dr. Robotnik's treasure vault. Scorch, who's pledged undying loyalty to the doctor sometime ago (and because she jumped at the chance to avoid fighting her sisters), decided to rush to the scene and stop the two crooks from making off with Robotnik's "hard-earned" cash.''

''Elsewhere, the switch-hunting group's battle against Metal Sonic 3.0 continued. Just as it seemed as if Mecha Amy was starting to gain the upper hand against him, and just as they were getting ready to move on in order to have their final confrontation with Robotnik, Three-Point Zero managed to rise again. Shortly before the battle resumed, Metal Sonic, who was following the signal of the Three-Point Zero's Chaos energy, arrived on the scene to challenge his "technologically advanced" doppelganger to yet another showdown. This time around, the two of them agreed to have their battle at the Space Colony, ARK, in order to make sure that there's no outside interference.''

''After the two machines left to settle their business, the group decided to move on. Rouge and Omega, who followed Metal Sonic to the area, decided to join the rest of the group and lend a hand in stopping the doctor. The questions still remain… Will they have what it takes to stop Dr. Robotnik and free Silvra from his mind control? How much longer will Knuckles, the Chaotix, and company be able to hold her off? Will Scorch manage to stop Nack and Bean from escaping with Robotnik's money? Which of the two Metal Sonics will walk away the victor? Find out in this exciting second-to-last chapter of Knuckles' Chaotix: Elements of Power, Episode 3: The Goddess of Destruction!

''Here, we begin this part of the story with Cream and the rest of the switch-hunting group, who have gotten past the previous room where they were battling Metal Sonic 3.0, and are now going through the hallway that leads to Robotnik's room, where they're preparing to have their final confrontation with him. Ironically, Slush, who was bent on getting revenge on the doctor, began to have second thoughts…''

*Music Cue*

Slush: …

*Cue flashback from Part 1*

Robotnik: You sniveling TRAITOR! How DARE you!? I just don't get it! I've been BEYOND generous to you! In addition to treating you with more respect than I've shown to some of my own minions, I saved both yours AND your sister's life by freeing you from many years of captivity, and THIS is how you repay me!?

*End flashback*

Slush: (Thinking about it now, he's actually right... He really HAS been nothing but generous to Scorch and I all this time. Back in our day, the two of us, along with Splash, were labeled as "freaks" for being different from everyone else, and treated like crap on a regular basis… Those heartless bastards even saw us as a threat, and had us sealed up because of it! Then, thousands of years later, Dr. Robotnik came to our rescue… Sure, at the time, he seemed like nothing more than a power-crazed madman, and he may be a little perverted, but at the same time, he still treated us with the utmost respect. In fact, aside from the Chaotix and Bark, Robotnik truly was the first person who's ever been kind to us, and I repaid him by stabbing him in the back… I feel terrible about this now, but I have to press on for Silvra's sake! But maybe someday, someday, I'll make it up to him…)

Ray: Hey, Slush. Are you feeling alright?

Slush: Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I just…zoned out for a bit, that's all. So, um… Let's take care of Robotnik now, shall we?

Mecha Amy: (So, it's all come down to this… Finally, the time has come for me to defeat Dr. Robotnik, and declare independence from that meanie once and for all! Aside from being with my darling, Metal Sonic, freedom has always been my fondest dream… At least I know for sure that one of them will come true today, assuming everything goes as planned. Then, maybe someday, the other one will come true, as well… *Dreamy sigh* )

Shock: Hey… *Places her hand on Mecha Amy's shoulder* Everything okay? You're not feeling nervous, are you?

Mecha Amy: Well… Maybe just a little; only because of that stupid switch that Robotnik's been threatening me with all this time, but other than that, I'm okay.

Storm: Hmm, I guess that's fine, just as long as you aren't backing down. I mean, after all, you DID drag us into this, too, you know.

Mecha Amy: Don't worry, I'm not backing down. My mind's made up… I've already come this far, and at this point, it's way too late to turn back now. Like I said before, even if I DO wind up getting shut down again, that's a lot better than having to live as HIS puppet for any longer!

Shock: We're glad to hear it. Just so you know, Mecha Amy… Regardless of whether the doc decides to have you scrapped, shut down, or whatever else, we won't let anything happen to you. We're your friends, and we're behind you all the way. Remember that.

Storm: *Nods* That's right. We're all in on this together.

Mecha Amy: Aww, you guys… I could just…! *Tightly hugs them both* If I weren't a machine, I'd be crying my eyes out right now! Thank you SO much! I… I could never ask for better friends than the two of you…!

Storm: *Turns blue in the face* C-Can't…breathe…!

Shock: *Same* Y-Yeah, no prob, but you're squeezing us a little too tight!

Mecha Amy: Oh! *Releases them* Sorry about that! I guess I just got a little caught up in the moment. ;

Shock: Hey, don't sweat it.

''After that, the heroes proceeded through the large door with Robotnik's insignia on it, and found themselves in a spacious room, which, to their surprise, was empty. Or so it seemed…''

Amy: Hmm, that's odd… It doesn't seem like anyone's here…

Big: Yup, and it's very quiet, too…

Cream: Yes, a little TOO quiet…

Cheese & Chocola: Chao, Chao…

Honey: Yeah, it's eerily quiet, but that doesn't mean we should let our guards down just yet. Robotnik or his minions may very well be in hiding, waiting to ambush us…

*The automatic door in front of them opens*

Marine: I think someone's comin'!

*Music Cue*

Robotnik: *Enters the room with a squadron of Egg Pawns and other Badniks* Well, well… What have we here?

Cream: Dr. Robotnik!

Robotnik: HAHAHAHA! That's right! The one and only Dr. Ivo Robotnik, scientific genius extraordinaire, with an undisputed IQ of 300!

Porkenstein: "Eee-vo"? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was pronounced "Eye-vo"?

Robotnik: Yes, I get that a lot. I can't even begin to count how many times I've had to correct people about it. By the way, who are you?

Porkenstein: I'm Nathaniel Porkenstein; just your average scientist who specializes in mechanical engineering.

Robotnik: "Porkenstein"? Are you, by any chance, a relative of the late Ezekiel Porkenstein?

Porkenstein: Why, yes, I am, he was my father. I'll take it that you two knew one another?

Robotnik: Not exactly. I never knew him personally. His name popped up from time-to-time in my research, and that's about it. In a way, I guess you can say that I only knew him by reputation.

Porkenstein: I see.

Mecha Amy: *AHEM*

Robotnik: Ah, yes, of course. How rude of me. We still have some unfinished business to attend to, don't we?

Mecha Amy: Oh, you bet we do! Robotnik, listen up! This is the end! Do you hear me!? We quit! *Points to herself, Shock, and Storm* All three of us! Got it!? We don't work for you anymore! We're FREE! As of right now, you can go find someone else to do your dirtywork!

Robotnik: Is that so?

Mecha Amy: That's right! Go ahead and shut me down if you want to, I don't care! I'm not afraid anymore! If that's what it'll take to be free from the likes of you, then I gladly welcome it with open arms!

Robotnik: …

HAHAHAHAHAHA… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Mecha Amy: What's so funny!?

Robotnik: You are. Those melodramatic speeches of yours amuse me to no end!

Mecha Amy: "Speeches"? You mean to tell me that…?

Robotnik: That's right. Metal Sonic 3.0 filled me in, and I heard every word that you, Shock, and Storm spoke regarding your plan to rise against me.

Shock: That definitely explains why he had that recorded!

Storm: GRR…

Mecha Amy: Ooooh…! I hate that guy SOOO much!

Slush: Join the club.

Robotnik: There's no need to blame him for it. After all, as I told you before, I wasn't born yesterday. I knew all along that you were planning to betray me, Mecha Amy. That's not something that took a rocket scientist to figure out. All Three-Point Zero did is confirm my suspicions. You two, on the other hand… *Looks toward Shock and Storm* I'm completely baffled, and utterly lost for an explanation as to why YOU would rebel against me, seeing how I've treated you two as if you were my own daughters! *Looks toward Slush* And don't even get me started on you! *Looks toward Seedra, Heavy, Bomb, [E-102 Gamma|Gamma]], and Omega* The same thing applies to all of you, as well!

Shock: Look, doc… I can't speak for Mecha Amy, Seedra, or any of the others, but I just want you to know that even though we've sided with them, Storm and I bear no grudge against you.

Storm: That's right. We merely disagree with what you're doing, that's all.

Robotnik: Oh, let me guess… This is about Silvra, isn't it?

Storm: Something like that.

Cream: Dr. Robotnik, please change her back!

Cheese & Chocola: Chao, Chao!

Robotnik: Oh, is that what you came all this way for? I'm terribly sorry to disappoint you, but I simply cannot do that. You see, EG-005 is my ticket to world domination! With her awesome power at my disposal, I can finally vanquish my enemies, bring the world to its knees, and realize my ambitions of building my ultimate utopia, the Robotnik Empire, or "Eggman Empire", if you prefer, in my own image!

Porkenstein: You're insane! It's people like you who truly give scientists a bad name!

Robotnik: HAHAHAHAHAHA! On the contrary, my good sir, I'm entirely in my right mind!

Heavy: Could've fooled me.

Bomb: Truer words have never been spoken.

Robotnik: Well, it's been nice chatting with you all, but as the saying goes, "all good things must come to a close". Should you defeat this group of robots, I'll be waiting for you in the next room. Now, with that said, let the games begin! Badniks, attack! *Snaps his finger and walks away*

*Music Cue*

*The Badniks charge toward the group*

Omega: Worthless consumer models! I will eliminate them all! Total destruction for all of Robotnik's robots!

Mecha Amy: "Total destruction for all of Robotnik's robots?" Last time I checked, YOU were one of them, yourself!

Omega: Less arguing, more destroying!

Mecha Amy: …Fine.

*They start fighting off the Badniks*

Meanwhile, up at the Moon Zone…

*Music Cue*

Super Sonic: Alright, are you ready, Tails?

Super Tails: I'm ready, Sonic!

Super Sonic: Okay, then let's do it!

*They use their trademark "spinning donut" technique, and roll towards Silvra at light speed*

Silvra: Oh, no you don't! *Holds out the palm of her hand to zap them, but ends up getting run over before she has the chance* UHHHHHHH!

Super Vector: Good one, guys! Now, why don't 'cha let us take it from here?

Super Espio: *Plays his instrument*

Super Charmy: BEE, BEE, BEE! CHARMY BEE!

Super Vector: *Yells into the microphone* YAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

*A huge soundwave is created, and it moves towards Silvra*

Silvra: *Covers her ears* NOT AGAAAAAIIIN!

Super Tiara: *Covers hers, too* Gee whiz, you guys! Would you mind toning that down a bit!?

*They stop*

Super Vector: Yeah, sorry 'bout that. As it turns out, that just-so-happens to be one o' Silvra's weaknesses, 'n' we're just usin' it to our advantage.

Super Tiara: No wonder! I don't mean to be rude or anything, but that was some TERRIBLE singing!

Super Vector: Sheesh! People these days, I swear… They just don't appreciate good singin' when they hear it! Well, except for maybe Vanilla.

Super Charmy: Yeah, and we all know why THAT is! *Snickers*

Super Vector: It ain't nothin' like that!

Super Charmy: Suuuuurrreee it isn't!

Super Vector: I'm bein' serious, here!

Burning Blaze: Can we concentrate on the task at hand, here?

Super Silver: Blaze is right. You'll have plenty of time for goofing around after Silvra's been taken care of!

Super Mighty: Any luck in finding the Master Emerald down there, Knuckles?

Super Knuckles: *Still digging* Almost! I'm definitely getting closer… I can feel its power! I'm pretty sure I'll have it in no time at this rate! You guys just keep hanging in there until I find it!

Super Sonic: No problem, Knuckles!

Silvra: *Her eyes glow purple as she begins to create a strong wind storm*

Super Vector: Ah, crud! *Starts resisting* Looks like it's our battle wit' Storm all over again, Wechnia!

Wechnia: Tell me about it… *Resists the current, too*

*The others do the same*

''Elsewhere, in outer space, the two Metal Sonics found themselves at the Space Colony, ARK after using Dr. Robotnik's teleportation device, and were currently in the middle of their battle. It was, in fact, the very same area where Sonic and Shadow had their second battle during the events of Sonic Adventure 2…''

*Music Cue*

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Has tons of objects in a telekinetic grip* Obsolete filth! Drown in the empty vastness of space! *Starts tossing them*

Metal Sonic: *Frantically dodges them, and continues speeding along the pathway*

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Continue tossing them, but at a faster rate*

Metal Sonic: *Dodges all of those, too*

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Tosses one last object at him; this time, being an asteroid*

Metal Sonic: *Looks back and blasts it with an eye laser, shattering it to pieces*

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Surrounds himself with electric current, and uses the electro-dash* DIE!

Metal Sonic: *Jumps into the air, causing Three-Point Zero to go underneath him*

Metal Sonic 3.0: What!? How could you have possibly…!? *Gets spin attacked before finishing that sentence* Uhhhhhh! *Czzzzzt!* *Falls over*

Metal Sonic: *Speeds on ahead*

Metal Sonic 3.0: Not bad for an outdated model… *Sits up and starts charging up a laser on his chest cavity* But it will take a lot more than that if you hope to stand even the slightest chance against me this time!

''After the laser was finished charging, Three-Point Zero immediately fired it in Metal Sonic's direction. Although the beam itself did not hit Metal Sonic directly, he did, however, get caught in the explosion that it triggered, knocking him forward and destroying some of the terrain in the process.''

Metal Sonic: *Czzzzzt!*

Metal Sonic 3.0: I'm not through with you yet! *Hovers into the air with his jet booster, and fires a few Chaos Spears at him*

Metal Sonic: *Rolls out of the way, gets back up, and hovers into the air with Three-Point Zero*

''*The two Metal Sonics dash towards one another, and engage in fierce aerial, hand-to-hand combat*

Again, with the switch-hunting group at the Sand Ocean base…

Gamma: Badniks successfully destroyed!

Amy: Yep. Now that they're out of the way, all that's left is Robotnik! Come on, everyone! *Runs off to the next room*

*The others do the same*

*Music Cue*

Mecha Amy: *Stops to look back at the broken Badnik parts with a sad, sympathetic look in her eyes*

Storm: Are you alright?

Mecha Amy: I'm…I'm fine.

Shock: Are you sure?

Mecha Amy: Yes, really.

Shock: Alright, if you say so.

Mecha Amy: Now, with that said… *Clenches her fist* I think it's time we've taught that fat, mustachioed meanie a lesson he won't soon forget! *Runs off*

*Shock and Storm do the same*

After successfully defeating all the Badniks that Dr. Robotnik left behind, they all decided to move on, until they found themselves in another large, spacious room, with this one having more of a metallic atmosphere than the last.

Honey: That's strange; it doesn't look like there's anyone here. I could have sworn we all saw Robotnik go through this door, and I don't see any other exits…

Mecha Amy: Hmph, I'll bet he's somewhere hiding like the coward he truly is! Robotnik! Where are you!? Come out and face us!

Robotnik: HAHAHAHAHA! Look above you!

*They look up and find Robotnik on a floating platform*

*Music Cue*

Robotnik: Now that I have your attention, I would just like to take this opportunity to congratulate you all for your efforts in making it this far into the base. You've done well, but unfortunately for you, this is the end of the line!

Shock: Look, doc, we don't want to have to fight you if we don't have to. Please, just play it smart and hand over that switch!

Robotnik: "Play it smart", you say? You sound awfully sure of yourself, don't you?

Storm: You might as well. Not counting the time we've spent hunting down the Elemental Chaos Rings, we've been with you the entire time, Doctor, and we know for certain that you don't have any other weapons to use against us.

Robotnik: …

Mecha Amy: Yeah, and neither the Badniks nor Scorch are here to protect you. So, you might as well surrender, or we'll take that switch by force!

Robotnik: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You think you have all the answers, don't you? Well, you couldn't be further from the truth! If you truly thought that I didn't have a back-up plan in addition to EG-005, then you are sadly mistaken! *Takes out the controller*

Mecha Amy: *Notices it* …!

Robotnik: HAHAHAHAHAHA… You recognize this switch; do you not, Mecha Amy? You know it all too well, don't you? That's because it's not only the device that I used to regain control of Silvra, but the very same controller that I often used to scare you into obeying my orders!

Mecha Amy: What's your point!?

Robotnik: My point is that I do happen to have a weapon to use… a very fine one, at that. As a matter of fact, this "weapon" that I'm referring to happens to be among the lot of you! Would you care to take a guess as to who it is? *Evil grin*

Mecha Amy: W-Wait a minute! You…you couldn't possibly mean…!?

Robotnik: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's right! You guessed it! The "weapon" that I speak of…is YOU, Mecha Amy!

Mecha Amy: Not if I have anything to say about it! *Aims her finger up at the switch, and fires a laser*

*The laser disintegrates seemingly out of nowhere*

Mecha Amy: WHAT!?

Robotnik: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I figured you or one of the others would try something like this, so I've decided give my Power Platform the ability to generate a barrier!

Mecha Amy: GRRR…

Robotnik: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Now, without further ado, Mecha Amy, it's time you've taken a page out of Silvra's book, and swore undying allegiance to your creator! *Switches the controller from "EG-005 Mode" to "Mecha Amy Mode", and presses a button*

*Music Cue*

Mecha Amy: G-Ghhh…! *Kneels to the floor as electric current begins to surround her* *Czzzzt!*

Shock: Mecha Amy! What's wrong!? Are you okay!?

Mecha Amy: I-I think I'm… *Czzzzzt!* …S-Starting to lose grip…on my sanity! *Czzzzzt!*

Storm: You have to fight it!

Porkenstein: Yes, you simply must!

Robotnik: HA! She could try to fight it all she wants; it won't do her any good in the end! You saw how that worked out with Silvra, didn't you? HAHAHAHAHAHA…

Amy: You won't get away with this!

Robotnik: Oh, but that's where you're mistaken! I already have!

Amy: *Tosses her hammer at Robotnik*

*It hits the forcefield*

Robotnik: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You're quite the slow learner, aren't you? Did I not say that the Power Platform will always generate a barrier if you even attempt to attack?

Amy: Ooooh…!

Omega: Attention, everyone! We must aim for the Power Platform itself! Should we manage to do a significant amount of damage to it, Robotnik will be unable to generate another barrier! Then we can prevent Mecha Amy from falling under his control!

Rouge: Good thinking, Omega! Come on, let's give it a shot! *Tosses heart-shaped bat-bombs at it*

Omega: *Morphs his arms into machines guns and fires at the Power Platform*

Gamma: *Locks into it and fires*

Porkenstein: *Does the same with his Laser Bazooka*

Slush: HAAAAAAH! *Fires an ice beam*

Seedra: *Starts firing solar beams*

Shock: *Fires electric blasts*

Storm: *Fires wind blasts*

Robotnik: WHA-!? *Steers out of their direction, causing the blasts to go through the wall instead*

Porkenstein: Oh, blast it all!

Robotnik: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nice try, but not good enough, I'm afraid!

Mecha Amy: Ghhhhhh…! *Czzzzzt!* I…can't…hold…on…much…longer! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

Shock: MECHA AMY!

Storm: …!

Robotnik: HAHAHAHA…HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

No longer able to resist, Mecha Amy eventually found herself under the full control of Robotnik, similar to what became of Silvra.

Mecha Amy: How can I serve you, Master Robotnik?

Robotnik: I want you to take care of each and every one of these pests! Can you do that for me?

Mecha Amy: As you command… *Aims her finger at the group and fires*

*They spread out and dodge the attack*

Again, at the Moon Zone, Silvra, who had previously succumb to Robotnik's mind control, was starting to become her original self again, due to the fact that the switch could only control one of them at a time.

*Music Cue*

Silvra: H-Huh…? *Looks around* Where…am I? How did I…get here? *Looks at her hands* Oh, that's right, now I remember! It was Dr. Robotnik…he used some kind of device to control me, didn't he!?

Wechnia: Yes, that's the gist of it.

Super Sonic: Well, well… Looks like Cream and the others finally managed to get ahold of Ro-butt-nik's switch!

Super Vector: It's about freakin' time! It took 'em long enough!

Super Knuckles: *Comes from underground with the Master Emerald* What's that? She's back to normal? I guess there's no need to disable her powers, after all.

Splash: Silvra, you just don't know how glad we are to finally have you back!

Super Charmy: I'm sure Cream will be glad, too. Really, REALLY glad.

…

Hee hee, get it, " bee glad"? *Snickers*

Splash: *Giggles* As I always say, I could just never get tired of those, no matter how many times I hear them. They're just so cute!

Super Charmy: Hee hee, thanks!

Silvra: That isn't the ONLY thing that's cute… *Winks at Wechnia again*

Wechnia: Uhhh, t-thank you again… *Blushes a little*

Super Charmy: *Snickers*

Wechnia: Find something funny?

Super Charmy: Ohhhh, you know! I think she liiiiikes you! *Snickers again*

Wechnia: Not necessarily. It was only a compliment.

Super Charmy: Hee hee! Yeah, that's what they all say!

*Everyone sweatdrops*

Super Shadow: …ANYWAY, it looks like our work here is done. Why don't we meet up with the others again down at the Doctor's base?

Squash: I don't have a problem with that.

Super Shadow: Chaos… CONTROL!

*They all disappear in a sudden flash of light, and finds themselves at the Sand Ocean base, in their normal states*

*Music Cue*

Tails: So, where do you think everyone went? Do you think maybe they're still fighting Robotnik?

Sonic: It's either that, or they already have him beat. I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.

Vector: Same here, 'cause like I'm always sayin', there ain't nothin' Robotnik could dish out that we can't handle!

Silvra: Hmm… *Accesses her built-in scanners* Actually, my scanners indicate that there's still a battle going on…

Charmy: Do you know who's winning?

Silvra: That, I'm not sure of.

Knuckles: Then I guess there's only one way to find out, and that's to go over there and check it out ourselves.

Sonic: Alright, then what're we waiting for? Let's blast through with sonic speed!

Mighty: *Looks ahead* Huh? Hey, isn't that Nack and Bean up ahead? *Points*

Espio: Yes, that's them alright.

*Music Cue*

Nack: HAHAHA! Man, gettin' away from 'dat fiyah hag was a li'l TOO easy!

Bean: Yep! Good thing I always carry these smoke bombs with me! Come to think of it, I should've used knockout gas, but whatever. What's done is done. Let's go ahead and get out here!

Nack: As always, you're definitely speakin' my-

*They stop as soon as they notice the heroes*

Nack: Ah, great, it's 'DESE chumps again!

Sonic: As of right now, it's game over for you two!

Nack: Well, well… Look who it is! I hoid from 'de ol' man 'dat 'cha've gotta bone ta pick wit' me?

Sonic: Oh, you bet I do! I'm gonna make you pay for what you did to-

Tiara: It's alright, Sonic. I'll handle this.

Nack: 'Ey, wayda minute! You're 'dat Boobowski wench! You've…you've gotta be freakin' kiddin' me! How's it 'dat you're even here right now!? How'd 'ja manage ta recovah so quickly!? 'Dis ain't makin' no kinda sense!

Tiara: You don't need to know that. The only thing that matters right now is that I'm ready for a rematch. You just don't know how glad I am to have run into you. Now, I'm going to pay you back for sure! This time, YOU'RE the one who's going to be taking a trip to the hospital! Let's go, Fang! Right now! *Points her jeweled staff at him*

Nack: Now, lemme get 'dis straight: You're sayin' 'dat ya just got outta 'da hospital aftah losin' 'da last fight we had, 'n' now ya wanna fight me again? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Man, 'dis is freakin' hilarious!

Tiara: I'm not interested in your talk! Let's get this over with!

Nack: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Man, ya really DO wanna die, don't 'cha? Well, I'd be happy ta oblige! *Unsheathes his knife*

Sonic: Tiara… Are you sure you're ready for this?

Tiara: Don't worry, I can handle him. The only reason he won the last time, is because I fell for a trick that he played on me. I won't make that same mistake again, though.

Sonic: Alright, if you say so.

Tiara: I'll stay here and deal with him, while you guys stop Robotnik!

Tails: Okay. Good luck!

*They leave*

Tiara: (You see? That, right there, is why there's no doubt in my mind that I'm the one Sonic truly loves, rather than Amy or whoever that "other girl" is that Charmy talked about before. He was even ready to fight for me… *Dreamy sigh* )

Nack: A'ight, Bean, here's 'da plan. I'll stay here 'n' put 'dis broad in 'er place again, while you take 'da loot, scram, 'n' make a break for 'da hideout!

Bean: Yeah, that's just what I had in mind. Since the Marvelous Queen is STILL broken, I'm gonna go take another one of Robotnik's aircrafts. *Runs off*

Nack: (HAHAHAHAHAHA! We're yet anuddah step ta becomin' filthy, stinkin' RICH! At 'dis rate, I might even be able ta run my own syndicate, 'r somethin'!) 'Ey, Boobowski!

Tiara: *Didn't hear him, since she's in the middle of a daydream about Sonic*

Nack: Boobowski! Ah'm talkin' to ya!

Tiara: *Still didn't hear him*

Nack: *Takes out his gun, aims into the air, and fires*

Tiara: Huh!? What!?

Nack: Ya need ta be payin' attention, y'hear? You're real lucky, y'know 'dat? 'Cause I coulda blown ya stinkin' head off, right 'den 'n' 'dere if I wanted!

Tiara: Then what stopped you from doing it?

Nack: I guess ya could say it was 'cause I'm in a good mood, but just keep 'n mind: 'Dat's 'da foist 'n' only freebie you're gettin' from me. I ain't cuttin' you no more slack aftah 'dis, goddit? *Puts the gun back in his holster*

Tiara: Fine, whatever. Can we just get this over with already? I haven't got all day, you know.

Nack: Neitha do I, so I guess 'dat makes two've us! Now, 'r' ya ready?

*Music Cue*

Tiara: *Fighting stance*

Nack: 'Den come 'n' get it!

''Wasting no more time, the two of them quickly charged towards one another and swung their weapons, and clashed them together. In the meantime, while that was going on, Bean was in the process of heading towards the hangar of the base, where many of Dr. Robotnik's Egg –O- Matic Hovercrafts] were located in order to make his get-away. Little did he know, however, that Scorch had returned to the control room in order to successfully track his location, with the help of all the cameras that are installed around the base.''

*Music Cue*

Scorch: *Watches the monitor* So, THAT'S where he's heading. They may have slipped past me before, but that won't happen again! *Looks at Nack and Tiara's fight on the other monitor* I guess I'll leave that weasel to her. After all, according to that old porcupine with the labcoat, she somehow ended up taking a major beating from him once before, so I guess she deserves to have her vengeance. Plus, he doesn't seem to have Dr. Robotnik's money on him, but that duck does, so I guess he's the one that's reserved for me! I'd better get going before he escapes! *Quickly rushes out of the room*

Meanwhile, right in the hallway…

Splash: Hmm? *Notices Scorch* Oh, hey, Scorch. What's the rush?

Scorch: Sorry, Splash, no time to talk! *Flies off after getting a running start*

Sonic: (That reminds me… I wonder if Shock will be up for another race?)

Silver: I wonder why she's in such a hurry?

Blaze: Beats me. Whatever the case may be, I highly doubt that it concerns any of us.

Silver: Yeah, unless it has something to do with Iblis, that is, since he's still trapped in that gem of hers. As far as I know, at least.

Charmy: Hee hee, "whatever the case may bee ". *Snickers*

Splash: *Giggles*

Blaze: *Glares at Charmy*

Charmy: Sorry.

Espio: So, anyway, you said that the battle's taking place over here, Silvra? Exactly which of these doors will lead us to it?

Silvra: *Accesses her scanners*

…

It's this one. *Points to the middle door, with Robotnik's insignia on it*

Sonic: Man, Ro-butt-nik sure likes to look at himself, doesn't he? Now, with that said, let's blast through with sonic speed…again!

Silvra: (Cream, Cheese, Chocola… I'm coming!)

*They go through the door*

Elsewhere, up at the ARK runaway, Metal Sonic and Metal Sonic Version 3.0 have fought each other to a standstill, and were in the middle of a brief intermission.

*Music Cue*

Metal Sonic: *Czzzzzt!* *Holds his arm*

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Czzzzzt!* Again, you fight well for an outdated model… *Holds his arm, too*

Metal Sonic: Likewise. *Czzzzzt!* Perhaps you aren't such a pale imitation of my own design after all, but a copy is still a copy, and it can never surpass the original. There is only one real, true Sonic…and that happens to be none other than I, the original Metal Sonic!

Metal Sonic 3.0: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Metal Sonic: What are you laughing about?

Metal Sonic 3.0: Do you mean to tell me that you actually believe you're the real Sonic?

Metal Sonic: Without a doubt. No question about it.

Metal Sonic 3.0: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! If that's truly what you think, then you are pathetically delusional! I shouldn't even need to explain why!

Metal Sonic: Sonic is an organic copy! I existed long before he ever did!

Metal Sonic 3.0: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You amuse me, Metal Sonic, you really do. If that's what you wish to believe, then I won't stop you. I couldn't care less about your erroneous beliefs. My only concern at the moment is putting an end to your pitiful existence!

Metal Sonic: Then let's resume!

Metal Sonic 3.0: I thought you would never ask. *Surrounds himself with electric current, and hovers into the air*

Metal Sonic: *Looks up*

Metal Sonic 3.0: Here it is, the moment you've been waiting for! I've been saving this for a special occasion… Regardless of how well you fight, it's still quite humiliating to have to resort to THIS in order to deal with an outdated model, but if that's what it'll take, then so be it! *Continues to charge up* Behold, the ability to transform at will!!!

*A bright flash of light occurs, and when it fades, Metal Sonic 3.0 is seen in his "Overlord" form*

Metal Sonic: Oh, so it's THAT again, is it?

Metal Overlord 3.0: Hmm hmm hmm hmm… That's right! I'm sure you're probably wondering how I was able to transform without the aid of the Chaos Rings this time. That's because I still retain the exact same copy chip that I had when we fought a week ago. It's almost as if these chips have minds of their own, and it was able to "remember" the way I transformed before. Therefore, the Chaos Rings are no longer necessary!

Metal Sonic: (Exactly what kind of copy chips did [[Eggman Nega|Dr. Nega] invent!?)

Metal Overlord 3.0: This time, for certain, I shall crush you at the palm of my hand! Especially since your friends aren't around to save you this time!

Metal Sonic: Friends? I don't have any. Not now, not ever. If you're referring to Amy Rose and all those other meddlers, then they are no friends of mine! Each and every one of them are insignificant, and mean nothing to me! I never asked for their assistance in the first place!

Metal Overlord 3.0: Then I suppose they'll have no qualms with me reducing you into mere space dust, you worthless piece of obsolete trash! *Swings his large iron tail*

Metal Sonic: *Turns on his jet booster, dodges, and dashes toward him*

''Even though Silvra has returned back to her original self, Mecha Amy's self-control was sacrificed in the process! Will Knuckles, the Chaotix, and company be able to get there in time to stop Robotnik and permanently free both Mecha Amy and Silvra from his control? Will Tiara manage to defeat Nack this time, or will he overpower her, as he did before? Will Metal Sonic be able to defeat Metal Sonic Version 3.0 and his monstrous power once again? Will Scorch be able to catch up to Bean and keep him from escaping with Robotnik's "hard-earned" money? Find out as the battles conclude, next time, on the final chapter of Knuckles' Chaotix: Elements of Power, Episode 3: The Goddess of Destruction!''

To "bee" continued…
