Fanfiction:The Goddess of Destruction Part 15

''When we last left off on The Goddess of Destruction, Mighty the Armadillo and Tikal briefly faced off against the Fire Goddess, Scorch for possession of the seventh and final Elemental Chaos Ring at the Hydrocity Zone. Before then, however, the two of them tried convincing her once more to free herself from Dr. Robotnik, but as with all the other times, their words went unheeded, since Scorch still felt indebted to the doctor for releasing her from thousands of years of captivity. When the battle began, Scorch attempted to attack them, but Mighty and Tikal dodged, causing her to fall right into water. Naturally, being the Goddess of Fire, she's unable to handle direct contact with water very well, so Mighty and Tikal decided to save her.''

''Scorch then thanked the two of them for saving her life, and wanted to know if there was anything she could do to repay them. Mighty then told her that she could repay them by giving back the Water Element Chaos Ring that she took from them. Since she was still loyal to Robotnik, she hesitated for a little while before handing it over. After finally obtaining the last Elemental Chaos Ring, the two of them headed back to Tails' Workshop in the Mystic Ruins. With all seven Elemental Chaos Rings in hand, along with the blueprints of EG-005's design that Shadow, Omega, and Squash found, as well as the completion of the Elemental Power Extractor, things were starting to look up for the heroes, until Nack the Weasel/Fang the Sniper and Bean the Dynamite arrived on the scene to steal the Elemental Chaos Rings they've all worked so hard to collect. The two crooks, after overhearing Robotnik talk about the Chaos Rings' current locations, decided to split up. Nack headed to Professor Boobowski's laboratory, while Bean, on the other hand, decided to go to Tails' Workshop.''

''While he was there, he threw a smoke bomb through the window, which poured knockout gas that left nearly everyone unconscious, with the exception of Heavy, Bomb, Orbot, and Cubot, who were immune to its effects (since they're robots, rather than organic beings). After Bean made off with the four Elemental Chaos Rings, Heavy and Bomb decided to chase him down, while Orbot and Cubot, on the other hand, decided to stay behind and reactivate E-102 Gamma, who has recently undergone some adjustments. Meanwhile, at Prof. Boobowski's lab, Nack showed up to claim the three Elemental Chaos Rings that Tiara brought over there, but naturally, she was unwilling to give them up without a fight.''

''With a majority of the heroes unconscious from the effects of Bean's knockout gas, Tiara, Heavy, and Bomb must face the two crooks alone for the time being. If that weren't bad enough, the newly resurrected Metal Sonic Version 3.0 and Mecha Amy are also on their way to claim the Elemental Chaos Rings. Will the three of them have what it takes to defeat Nack and Bean, as well as Metal Sonic 3.0 and Mecha Amy? Find out in this exciting chapter of Knuckles' Chaotix: Elements of Power, Episode 3: The Goddess of Destruction!''

Nack: A'ight, so we're outside now. Are ya ready ta do 'dis, 'r what?

Tiara: I'm ready, but first, tell me something…

Nack: Wha'd is it?

Tiara: First of all, why are you after the Elemental Chaos Rings? Did Robotnik put you up to this? Or was it someone else?

Nack: Nope. Like Ah'm always sayin', we ain't got nutin' ta do wit' 'im. Me 'n' Bean just happened ta be eavesdroppin' on 'da doc, 'n' 'den we hoid 'im say 'dat some o' 'da rings 'r' here, while 'da rest've 'em 'r' at 'da fox brat's place. Bean's gettin' those, while Ah'm takin' care o' bui'ness ovah here. Aftah 'dat's all said 'n' done, 'da two've us 're gonna sell 'em 'n' make a fortune off of 'em! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I could preddy much see it now… 'Da two've us SWIMMIN' in a truckload o' cash! It don't get no beddah 'dan 'dis!

Tiara: I should have figured. One more question… Exactly who is it that you're planning to sell these to? You'd never think of selling them to Robotnik, would you?

Nack: Maybe I would, maybe I wouldn't. I really don't give a crap who's interested in buyin' 'em, as long as 'dey fork ovah some cash!

Tiara: That's just what I needed to know. Not that I was ever planning to, anyway, but now that it's come down to this, I absolutely will NOT let you have them!

Nack: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Fine, have it your way, toots! *Aims his gun at her* Ah'm gonna enjoy pumpin' ya guts full o' lead!

Tiara: *Fighting stance*

While aiming his gun, Nack began firing several bullets at Tiara, only for her to dodge or swat them away by twirling her jeweled staff, sending them flying over the horizon.

Nack: Crap! At 'dis rate, all my ammo's gonna end up gettin' wasted again!

Tiara: Is that all you've got? Some "sniper" YOU are.

Nack: I wouldn't get so cocky if I was you, sistah! *Puts the gun back in the holster and unsheathes his knife* Ready 'r not, here I come! *Starts charging toward her* HAAAAAAAAH!

Tiara: HAAAAAAH! *Charges toward him, too*

*They take a swing at one another, and their weapons clash*

Nack: Hand ovah 'dem rings! *Pushes against her staff*

Tiara: Never! *Pushes against his knife*

''As the two of them continued pushing against one another's weapons, Nack decided to take the opportunity to remove his pistol from the holster once again, and pointed it straight at Tiara's face, abruptly pulling the trigger in the process. Due to her quick reflexes, she was able to duck underneath it, and trip Nack.''

Nack: GAH! *Falls on his back, gets up again, and tackles Tiara*

Tiara: Ooooof!

*They roll around the ground, fighting with a smoke cloud over them (like in cartoons)*

Meanwhile, at Robotnik's base in the Mystic Ruins…

Robotnik: There, that should do it. Now that the hole in Mecha Amy's stomach has been patched up, I could go ahead and activate her now, along with Metal Sonic 3.0. *Switches them on*

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Sits up as the red glow reappears in his eyes* …!

Mecha Amy: …! *Does the same* Huh? I'm…still alive? *Looks at her hands* I thought for sure that I was a goner after that big, mean robot drilled that hole through me…

Robotnik: You were, but only temporarily. In addition to patching up that hole in your stomach, I've decided to revive you.

Mecha Amy: Oh. *Notices Three-Point Zero, and starts hugging him tightly* Hee hee hee!

Metal Sonic 3.0: What are you doing!? Get off of me! *Jerks away from her*

Mecha Amy: I've gotcha now, my darling Metal Sonic! This time, you're mine…

Metal Sonic 3.0: Wait, what did you call me?

Mecha Amy: Metal Sonic, of course. That IS your name, isn't it?

Metal Sonic 3.0: No, it isn't.

Mecha Amy: Since when?

Metal Sonic 3.0: I'm Metal Sonic Version 3.0, or just simply "Three-Point Zero" for short; NOT Metal Sonic. He and I are two entirely different machines. Don't ever lump me with that weakling.

Mecha Amy: Hey! You take that back! My Metal Sonic isn't weak!

Metal Sonic 3.0: Yes, he is. He is a worthless piece of outdated trash that happened to get lucky. I am absolutely his superior in every respect.

Mecha Amy: Are not!

Metal Sonic 3.0: Yes, I am!

Mecha Amy: No, you aren't!

Metal Sonic 3.0: Yes, I am!

*They "anime lightning glare" at one another*

Robotnik: *Gets between them* Alright, that's enough, you two! There are far more important things to worry about, such as getting ahold of those Elemental Chaos Rings!

Metal Sonic 3.0: Very well, whatever. She isn't worth my time, anyway.

Mecha Amy: Hmph! Jerk!

Metal Sonic 3.0: So, where are the rings located this time?

Robotnik: According to my scanners, they're in two separate locations. Four of them are located at Tails' Workshop, while the last three are at Professor Boobowski's laboratory, which is somewhere to the north.

Metal Sonic 3.0: Ah, yes, of course. I remember now. Shortly before my previous battle against Metal Sonic, that girl with the staff had three of them in her possession. She must have been the one who took them to that laboratory.

Robotnik: Precisely. I need you to go over there to retrieve them for me. Mecha Amy, you get the ones at Tails' Workshop. Understood?

Metal Sonic 3.0: Of course. It'll be my pleasure.

Mecha Amy: *Crosses her arms and turns her head* I don't wanna.

Robotnik: *Takes out the shut-down switch*

Mecha Amy: Uh, I mean, uh, I'd be happy to!

Robotnik: I thought so. Since Egg-Robo and the Elemental Goddesses have obviously failed their tasks, I'm counting on you two to finish the job!

''*They turn on their jet boosters and take off*

Elsewhere, outside of Tails' Workshop…''

Bean: *Tosses a few explosives at Heavy and Bomb*

*They manage to dodge them*

Heavy: *Holds his fist out, aims at Bean, and launches it like a rocket*

Bean: Uhhhhhhhh! *Gets hit right in the face and falls over*

Heavy: *Reconnects his fist as it comes back*

Bomb: Nice one! Now, it's my turn!

While his fuse was lit, Bomb began charging towards Bean, but before he had the chance to explode on him, Bean quickly got up again and gave him a good kick, and sent him flying in Heavy's direction, triggering an explosion.

Bomb: GAAAAAAH! *Czzzzzzt!*

Heavy: UHHHHHHHH! *Czzzzzt!*

Bean: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Now THAT'S what I call "Dynamite Power"!

Bomb: Ghhhh…! *Czzzzt!* Are…you alright over there, Heavy?

Heavy: Yes, I'm…fine. *Czzzzt!* What about you?

Bomb: I'm okay, but… I'm going to need a few more minutes…to regenerate. Until then, you're going to…have to fight him by yourself. *Czzzzzt!*

Heavy: That's…no big deal. I can take him.

Bean: Try this on for size! *Tosses a few more bombs at him*

*Suddenly, some projectiles are seen flying towards the bombs, and they get destroyed in the midair, before they could come anywhere near Heavy*

Bean: What the…!? How'd that happen!?

Heavy: *Looks around and notices Gamma, who has smoke coming out of his gun* Ah, Gamma… You're right on time.

Bean: Oh, so it's YOU, huh?

Gamma: You… You're the one responsible for rendering everyone unconscious, are you not?

Bean: Yeah, I am. You got a problem?

Gamma: The Elemental Chaos Rings that you've stolen…hand them over.

Bean: Oh, here's an idea! How about NO?

Gamma: Resistance is futile… *Aims his blaster at him* Kindly hand over the rings.

Bean: Just try and make me, you piece of junk!

''*The battle resumes*

Again, outside of Professor Boobowski's laboratory…''

Tiara: *Pins Nack to the ground with her foot, pointing her staff up to his face* Are you ready to give up yet?

Nack: Give in? Ta you? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, now 'DAT'S rich!

…

Ah, crap! What's Sonic doin' here!?

Tiara: Huh? *Looks*

After creating a diversion to catch Tiara off guard, Nack, with a semi-psychotic grin on his face, decided to raise his knife and jam it right through her leg.

*Music Cue*

Tiara: AUUUUUUGGHH! *Kneels down in pain*

Nack: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Man, you're SO freakin' gullible! I can't BELIEVE ya fell fa 'DAT one! *Gets back up and abruptly takes the knife out of her leg, adding to the pain*

Tiara: Ahhhh!

Nack: *Puts the knife back in its sheathe/holster, takes out his gun, and pistol-whips her*

*Music Cue*

Tiara: Uhhhhhh! *Falls flat on her stomach*

Nack: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *Start stomping her*

Tiara: UHHHHHHHHH!

Nack: *Kicks Tiara, causing her to roll on her back, and then grabs her by the shirt* 'Da Chaos Rings… Where 'dey at?

Tiara: Ghhhh…! I'll…never tell!

Nack: *Punches her in the jaw*

Tiara: Uhhhhhhhhh!

Nack: Look, my patience wit' 'chu is runnin' thin, Boobowski! Tell me where 'dey at!

Tiara: Two words... *Spits in his face* Up yours!

Nack: GAH! *Wipes his face* OH, NOW 'DAT DOES IT! *Continues beating her*

Tiara: AUUUUUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!

Meanwhile, inside the lab…

Prof. Boobowski: *Watching from the window* NO! TIARA!!! *Gets ready to rush outside*

Porkenstein: Gazebo, what are you doing? Surely you aren't-

Prof. Boobowski: Yes, I am, Nathaniel. I'm doing my duty as a father. I just can't sit back and allow this to continue any longer! Fang… That scoundrel! He's gone too far! It was already one thing for him to break in here in the first place, but the moment he's harmed my daughter, he's crossed the line!

Porkenstein: I understand, but what about the police? We phoned them as soon as the battle began, so they should be here at any moment now.

Prof. Boobowski: Maybe, but there's no telling when they'll be here! If we don't act fast, Tiara's going to be killed!

Porkenstein: Hmm, I suppose you're right.

*They rush out of the room*

Again, outside…

Tiara: *On the ground, moaning in pain*

Nack: 'Dis is ya last chance! No mo'ah mistah nice guy, 'cause if you don't cough up 'dem Chaos Rings right now, Ah'm gonna pump ya guts full o' lead! Ya undastand!?

Tiara: …

Nack: Well, fine! Suit 'chaself 'den! *Aims his gun down at her*

Tiara: …! *A terrified expression appears on her face*

''*Prof. Boobowski and Porkenstein come through the door*''

Prof. Boobowski: STOP IT! Right now! Don't you lay another FINGER on my daughter, or so help me, I'll…!

Nack: HAHAHAHAHAHA! 'N' you'll do WHAT? Huh, ya ol' geezer? You ain't in 'da position ta be orderin' me around 'r nutin'! AH'M 'da one who's in control, here, gramps! Ya see how close my finga is to 'da trigga? You'd do good ta not be makin' threats like 'dat, 'cause I could kill 'er right now if I wanna!

Prof. Boobowski: …

Nack: Now, 'da Elemental Chaos Rings… At 'dis point, I'd recommend handin' 'em ovah, 'cause ya already know what'll happen if ya don't!

Prof. Boobowski: …

Very well, you win.

Nack: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I knew ya'd come ta your senses, doc!

Porkenstein: Gazebo… Are you sure this is a wise decision?

Prof. Boobowski: I don't have a choice. This is the only way to ensure her safety.

*He goes back inside to get the rings, and comes back out*

Prof. Boobowski: Here they are. Take them, you fiend.

Nack: Good, good! Now, just sit 'em down ovah 'dere, nice 'n'-

*Police sirens begin to sound before he has the chance to finish his sentence*

Nack: Huh!? Hey, wayda minute… Don't tell me…!

*A bunch of police choppers are seen flying towards the area*

Cop #1: *Through a loudspeaker* Fang the Sniper, we have you surrounded! Stay where you are and put your hands up in the air!

Nack: Ah, crap! AH, CRAAAAAAP! It's 'da cops! How'd 'dey find me!?

…

Wait, I'll beddit was 'cause o' one o' you geezers! YOU dimed me out to 'em, didn't ya!?

Porkenstein: We'll let you figure that one out.

Nack: *Quickly runs over to "his" Egg –O- Matic Hovercraft, and jumps inside* Ah'm gonna remembuh 'dis, y'hear!? *Starts the engine and takes off*

*The police copters fly after him*

Prof. Boobowski: He's finally gone… What a relief!

Porkenstein: If the police fail to catch him, then here's hoping his hoverpod crashes and burns.

Prof. Boobowski: Indeed. *Runs over to Tiara* Tiara, are you alright, my dear!? Say something!

Tiara: Ihhhh…! D-Don't worry, Father, I'm…okay… *Coughs up some blood*

Prof. Boobowski: Nathaniel, I'm going to go call an ambulance. You're going to have to head over to Tails' Workshop in Tiara's place, and bring the remaining Elemental Chaos Rings over here.

Porkenstein: Right.

…

Come to think of it, exactly where IS his Workshop located, anyhow?

Tiara: It's…in the Mystic Ruins. Just…keep moving…straight and you…won't be able…to miss it…

Porkenstein: Thank you, I'll be on my way now. Do get well soon, Tiara. *Runs off*

''Wasting no time, Professor Porkenstein quickly hopped into his motorboat and took off, bound for Tails' Workshop in the Mystic Ruins to get the other four Chaos Rings. In the meantime, Heavy, Bomb (who has finished regenerating), and E-102 Gamma's battle against Bean the Dynamite was still taking place.''

Heavy: *Runs toward Bean and stomps on his foot*

Bean: GAH! *Hops around, holding his foot*

Bomb: *Gets behind him and starts clinging to his back*

Bean: What are you doing!? Get off of me! *Tries shaking him off*

Bomb: Hee hee hee hee… *Begins to flash*

Bean: Oh, no you don't! *Backs into a wall and start slamming Bomb onto it*

Bomb: Uhhhhh… *Czzzzzt!* Continues flashing*

Bean: *Continues slamming him against the wall to shake him off*

Heavy: Bomb, what are you waiting for!? Just blast him already!

Bomb: I still need a little bit more time!

Gamma: Perhaps you could allow me to speed up the detonation process?

Bomb: Sure, go right ahead!

Gamma: *Aims at Bomb, locks him on target, and blasts him, triggering the explosion*

Bean: UHHHHHHHHH!

After getting himself caught in Bomb's explosion, Bean ended up getting blackened up and knocked back, with the four Elemental Chaos Rings scattering (like normal rings in the Sonic games) and falling on the floor.

Heavy: It's just as I predicted from the start… We ended up mopping the floor with you.

Bean: *Slowly gets back up* Pffft! Don't get a swelled head! You haven't beaten me yet! I still have yet to show you TRUE Dynamite Pow- *Looks up and notices the police copters* Oh, you have GOT to be kidding me! How'd they even know I was here!?

*Orbot and Cubot, along with the rest of the heroes (who are now conscious) come outside*

Orbot: *Comes outside* Take a wild guess.

Bean: So, this was YOUR doing, then! Next time I come back, you're gonna pay for this! You hear me!? *Runs over the Egg –O- Matic that he stole, jumps in, starts the engine, and takes off*

*The police choppers follow*

Gamma: Elemental Chaos Rings… Successfully retrieved!

Vector: Heh heh, it figures he'd run off… Freakin' coward.

Charmy: Yeah, but on the bright side, at least they got the Chaos Rings back!

Blaze: Speaking of a which, didn't you say that Tiara was supposed to be arriving to pick them up?

Amy: Yeah. I have no idea why she hasn't come back yet. Not that I'm complaining, though.

Sonic: *Sweatdrops*

Slush: I don't have a clue what's keeping her, either. Maybe one of us could deliver the rings over there, instead?

Tails: Good idea. Leave that to me. *Walks over to the rings*

???: Hee hee hee! Can't let you do that, little fox!

Tails: Huh? *Looks around* Who said that?

Mecha Amy: *Swoops down and grabs the Elemental Chaos Rings before Tails has the chance*

Sonic: What the…!?

Amy: A robot clone of…me?

Heavy: Oh, dear God… Not her!

Bomb: You've got to be kidding… Robotnik's decided to release HER!? Has he lost his mind!?

Knuckles: Huh? You've met her before?

Heavy: Yes. That's Mecha Amy; a mentally deranged creation of Robotnik's that he shut down years ago, because of her mindless penchant for destruction.

Bomb: That's right. Robotnik had no control over her at all, and as a result, she ended up wrecking his base and even tried to kill him! Mecha Amy is crazy… She makes Mephiles seem sane by comparison! Well, almost.

Charmy: Wow. She sounds really, REALLY crazy.

Knuckles: Okay, Mecha Amy, you'd be wise to hand over those Chaos Rings!

Mecha Amy: I think not. *Notices Gamma* You…you look a lot like that big, mean robot I fought with earlier, only much skinnier.

Gamma: …

Mecha Amy: Hee hee! I'd love to stay and chat with you guys, but I have to bring these back to Dr. Robotnik. If I don't, he'll shut me down again, and I'll never get to see my dear Metal Sonic again…

Everyone: …

Silver: I guess this leaves us with no choice but to take them by force!

Knuckles: I have no problem with that! *Cracks his knuckles*

Mecha Amy: See ya! Chaos Control! *The rings glow and she teleports away*

Wechnia: So, she knows how to utilize Chaos Control as well… But there's no time to worry about that now. We have to go after her!

Mighty: Right. If we're to stop EG-005 from being brought to life, then we can't afford to waste any time. Let's head over to Robotnik's base right away!

Sonic: Okay. Let's blast through with Sonic speed, everybody!

*They take off*

''So far, it looks as if things have taken a turn for the worse. Although Heavy, Bomb, and Gamma were successful in getting the Elemental Chaos Rings back from Bean, they ended up getting lifted again by Mecha Amy! Additionally, Metal Sonic Version 3.0 is on his way to Professor Boobowski's laboratory to obtain the last three. With Professor Boobowski standing by Tiara's side in the ambulance, as well as the fact that Professor Porkenstein has left the island to head to the Mystic Ruins, will anyone be able to stop him from getting his hands on the Elemental Chaos Rings? Will Robotnik ultimately succeed in bringing EG-005 to life, or will the heroes be able to prevent him from doing so? Find out in the next exciting chapter of Knuckles' Chaotix: Elements of Power, Episode 3: The Goddess of Destruction!''
