Last time, on Elements of Power, Knuckles, the Chaotix, and the rest of the heroes continued their battle against Dr. Robotnik and Dr. Nega's new machine, the "Egg Galaxia". Sometime during the battle, the newly resurrected Metal Sonic Version 3.0 was ordered by Dr. Nega to keep Heavy, Bomb, Honey, Nack, Bean, etc. from collecting additional rings to fuel the super forms of the Chaotix and company. As a result, he temporarily withdrew from his battle with the original Metal Sonic to carry out the orders that were given to him. Before he had the chance to do so, however, the original caught up with him, and the two of them resumed their battle from there, which allowed the others to continue collecting rings, without any interruptions.

Elsewhere, the Elemental Goddesses were still in the middle of their battle with Iblis, whom Squash accidentally released after having been tricked by Mephiles into fighting Scorch. As she and Scorch continued to fight off Iblis and the creatures that he continued to spawn, they constantly wondered where Slush had run off to, but conveniently, she showed up just in the nick of time, along with the Lightning and Wind Goddesses, Shock and Storm. Thanks to all five of the sisters combining their powers, they were able to defeat Iblis' second phase, and they're now eagerly awaiting his third.

Up at the Doomsday Zone, the Chaotix and company eventually ended up getting the upper hand with the Robotniks, and they ended up using a super-charged attack, ramming into the Egg Galaxia with incredible speed and power, sending it plummeting towards a large asteroid behind it, causing an explosion in the process. Coincidentally, around the same time, Metal Sonic had also triumphed during the battle against his doppelganger, Metal Sonic 3.0…or so it seemed. Not wanting to admit defeat, Metal Sonic 3.0 used the seven Chaos Rings to undergo a monstrous transformation. Now that he's absorbed the power of the Chaos Rings, does the original Metal Sonic stand even the slightest chance of defeating his copy? Have the Robotniks truly been defeated? Will the Elemental Goddesses be able to summon the power to defeat Iblis' final form? Find out in this exciting chapter of Knuckles' Chaotix: Elements of Power, Episode 2: Elemental Chaos!

Outside of Tails' Workshop…

Omega: Are you certain that abandoning our current mission to assist Metal Sonic is a wise decision?

Amy: Well, yeah. For starters, you did say that there are high power readings coming from this island, which are about the same as the Chaos Emeralds, right?

Omega: Correct.

Amy: I think that definitely had something to do with the earthquake that just happened a few minutes ago. What if that Metal Sonic copy ended up transforming, or something? If that's the case, and if he truly has power that's equal to that of the Chaos Emeralds, then there's no way Metal Sonic will stand a chance against him by himself!

Omega: …

Ray: She's got a point. I don't see the harm in lending Metal Sonic a hand, either. After all, he IS on our side now, since Tails reprogrammed him sometime ago.

Omega: Your points are very valid, but there is one small problem: While we're in the process of battling Metal Sonic Version 3.0, then who's going to be collecting rings to help sustain the super forms of Shadow and the others? Wasn't this what Dr. Nega intended?

Bomb: Yes, but I'm certain that we've gathered more than enough rings to keep them occupied, so there shouldn't be any need to worry about that for the time being.

Marine: Heh heh, "the time beeing". Get it, mates? *Snickers*

Everyone: …

Heavy: HAHAHAHAHAHA…no.

Marine: Well, blimey! Doesn't anyone around here besides me, Charmy, the Water, and Leaf Goddesses have a sense o' humor around here?

Heavy: ...Moron.

Rouge: …Yeah, so anyway, back to the subject at hand. It's true that we've collected a lot of rings, but their super forms use up ring energy pretty fast, so Knuckles, Shadow, and the others may still need our help.

Tiara: Maybe half of us could go help Metal Sonic, while the other half continues collecting rings? And after a while, we could switch it around some and take turns.

Amy: …

I'd hate to say it, but once again, I agree with Boobowski. What about you guys?

Rouge: Sure, why not?

*Others agree, too*

Heavy: Okay, now with that said, all we need to do now is decide on the groups.

*They decide on the groups*

Rouge: Okay, so Omega, Heavy, Bomb, Tiara, Marine, and I will continue collecting rings for the time being.

Amy: Alright, then the rest of us will be helping out Metal Sonic.

Nack: Just so we're clear, he'ah… I ain't doin' 'dis outta 'da kindness o' my heart, or nutin' like that. I'm in 'dis fa two reasons. Numbah one, I ain't lettin' 'dis cat goil outta my sight, until she pays me da money she owes me for blowin' up da Marvelous Queen! *Glares at Honey*

Honey: *Rolls her eyes*

Nack: 'N' numbah two, 'dat Metal Sonic copy had 'da noive ta be talkin' down on us 'n' what-not. He was preddy much askin' for it, right 'dere!

Bean: You said it! I'll bet he won't be so cocky once he gets a taste of Dynamite Power!

Bark: *Cracks his knuckles* It's clobbering time!

Marine: Been watchin' a li'l too much Fantastic Four, eh, mate? Can't say I blame ya, though, 'cause that show's bonza!

Bark: …

Umm, Fantastic Four, you said? Never heard of it.

Marine: What? You've nevah heard of it, ya say? Strewth! You don't know what you're missin', mate! *Goes on and on*

*Everyone sweatdrops*

Heavy: …

Wow, just…wow. Do you EVER shut up? Not even Charmy is THIS irritating.

Tikal: Now, now… There's no need to be so rude.

Bomb: Heavy's always being an anus, so what else is new?

Amy: Yeah, anyway, I'm gonna get going. There's no telling what might be happening to Metal Sonic right about now…

Tiara: …

You know, Amy… You sure are showing an awful lot of concern for Metal Sonic, aren't you?

Amy: Look, I know what you're trying to imply, Boobowski, and that's NOT the case. I've shown the same amount of concern for Gamma in the past, so that doesn't mean a thing. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I love Sonic, and ONLY Sonic!

Ray: *Sighs and mumbles* It figures…

Tiara: That's too bad. He doesn't love YOU, though.

Amy: Yes, he does!

Tiara: No, he doesn't! Sonic loves me!

Amy: No, ME!

*They argue back and forth until they realize that everyone's gone*

Amy: Hey, where'd everyone go!?

Tiara: Ugh, don't tell me they bailed on us again…

Amy: I guess they did…

Tiara: Well, once again, we're going to have to settle this later. I have some rings to collect. *Rushes through the door*

Amy: Ooh, I HATE it when they leave me behind! *Exits the Workshop, too*

Meanwhile, deeper within the Mystic Ruins…

Metal Overlord 3.0: So, do you have any last words before I kill you? If so, say them now, while you still have the chance.

Metal Sonic: I believe you should be asking yourself that question, you loathsome copy! I told you before… There's only one real, TRUE Sonic… And that's none other than I, the original Metal Sonic!

Metal Overlord 3.0: HAHAHAHAHAHA… A rather interesting choice of last words, if I do say so myself! *Holds out the palm of his hand*

Metal Sonic: What, more telekinesis? Is that all the power your transformation yields? Pathetic. If you're going to imitate my transformation, then at least do it correctly.

Metal Overlord 3.0: Watch and learn, fool.

While holding out the palm of his hand, Metal Overlord 3.0 ended up using telekinesis, just as Metal Sonic had predicted. This time around, due to his power increase, he's now able to lift much heavier objects. He started by uprooting an entire tree and launching it at Metal Sonic, but he managed to dodge just in time before it came in contact.

Metal Sonic: So, your power truly HAS increased…

Metal Overlord 3.0: Yes, and that is only a mere glimpse of my power! I could destroy you at any time, if I wish!

Metal Sonic: Then what are you waiting for? Stop talking and fight.

Metal Overlord 3.0: Hmm hmm hmm! So, you really DO want to die! Very well, then… Your fate has been sealed! Prepare to be ripped apart and thrown into the scrap heap! *Balls his fists and tries to smash Metal Sonic*

Metal Sonic: *Dodges them, hovers into the air, and flies toward his glowing core, getting ready to attack it*

Metal Overlord 3.0: *Swings his large iron tail and smacks Metal Sonic with it*

Metal Sonic: UHHHHHHHHH!!! *Czzzzzt!*

Before Metal Sonic was able to perform the Homing Attack, he ended up getting himself smacked away by Metal Overlord 3.0's powerful iron tail, which sent him crashing through a few trees, and then into a wall.

Metal Overlord 3.0: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! How's THAT for "pathetic", huh, you inferior, outdated piece of trash!?

Metal Sonic: I'm… *Czzzt!* Still not impressed… *Gets up again*

Metal Overlord 3.0: Hmm hmm hmm hmm! Oh, trust me… You're going to be "impressed" soon enough… After I'm finished crushing you at the very palm of my hand! *Raises his fist, and slams it down, in an attempt to squash Metal Sonic*

Metal Sonic: *Dodges*

Metal Overlord 3.0: *Uses the other hand*

*That process continues for a while*

Elsewhere, at the volcano, the Elemental Goddesses' battle against Iblis resumed, as the monster rose from its ashes once again, just as they had predicted. This time around, he was in his third and final phase, and more powerful than ever, and as a result, the five sisters began to have a bit more trouble dealing with him.

Squash: *Breathes hard* I guess…he's a little…tougher I thought…

Shock: You…said it… I guess it really does live up to its reputation, after all…

Storm: So, Scorch… You've dealt with this thing before and had it sealed up, right? Exactly…how did you pull that off?

Scorch: Some white hedgehog that I forget the name of, held Iblis down with telekinesis while it was in its raw flame form, and I ended up sealing it from there.

Slush: Well, I guess we're going to have to keep fighting until he's reduced back to that form. But…what if he tries to escape again? I don't think there's anyone around to hold Iblis down with telekinesis this time around.

Shock: Wait… Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't I seen you do something like that, Squash? Like when you killed the creature that Mephiles summoned from the shadows, and when you lifted all that debris from the pyramid.

Squash: I can, but my telekinetic abilities are only limited to things that are made out of stone. Otherwise, I wouldn't be called the "Goddess of Stone" now, would I?

Shock: Good point…

Scorch: Don't worry. With or without telekinesis, I'll make sure Iblis doesn't escape. Now, let's take this fight to him!

Everyone: Right!

Iblis: *Starts charging up*

Shock: It looks like he's charging up for some big attack… Somehow, I don't think he's going to be holding anything back. Brace yourselves, everyone!

After a while, Iblis finished charging his energy, and "fired" a large beam of energy which was over a hundred degrees, and capable of melting just about anything in its path. Before the blast could come in contact with the Goddesses, Scorch quickly countered the attack with a fire beam of her own. Shock, on the other hand, fired an electrical beam to help Scorch over-power Iblis.

Scorch & Shock: Ihhhh…!

Elsewhere, back at the Mystic Ruins jungle, the battle began to shift even further in Metal Sonic 3.0's favor. Overwhelmed by his doppelganger's increase in power, the original Metal Sonic began to take a brutal beating.

Metal Overlord 3.0: *Grabs Metal Sonic with one hand, and uses the other to punch him, sending him plummeting towards the ground with incredible force*

Metal Sonic: UHHHHHHHH!!! *Czzzzzt!*

Metal Overlord 3.0: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! At last, I finally have you beaten! You've made a good run of it while you still could, but now it's all over! Now, the time has come for me to dispose of you once and for all, and reclaim my rightful title as the most powerful machine in existence! Never again will I suffer the shame and humiliation of being defeated and cast aside by an obsolete, low-level machine like yourself! Now then… Your last words… Say them now, while you still have the chance.

Metal Sonic: Ghhhh…! *Czzzzt!* I'm…the inferior one, you say? *Czzzzt!* Ignoring the fact…that you've already been defeated by me a month ago… The fact…that you had to transform…clearly shows which of us is TRULY the superior model! *Czzzzt!*

Metal Overlord 3.0: WHAT!?

Metal Sonic: You and I…both know… *Czzzzt!* …That without the aid…of the Chaos Rings, you're… NOTHING! You were nothing…more than an even cheaper imitation of the original, even moreso than Sonic! *Czzzzt!* I…am the original… The and only… REAL Sonic! In the end… I am going to be the one to triumph once again!

Metal Overlord 3.0: Fool. *Points his finger at Metal Sonic and blasts him with a laser*

Metal Sonic: *Crosses his arms to block it, and falls backwards*

Metal Overlord 3.0: You've said your last words… And now it's time for you to perish! *Holds out the palm of his hand and starts charging up*

*Suddenly, a hammer, bombs, bullets, and exploding shurikens are launched at him*

Metal Sonic: Hmm…? *Czzzt!*

Metal Overlord 3.0: What!? Who's there!? Show yourself at once!

*Nack, Bean, Bark, Amy, Ray, Cream, Cheese, Chocola, Tikal, and Honey step in front of Metal Sonic*

Metal Overlord 3.0: Oh, so it's YOU insignificant pests again…

Amy: Whatever problem it is you have with Metal Sonic, you're gonna have to take it up with us now!

Metal Sonic: S-Stay…OUT of this! *Czzzzt!* This does not… *Slowly gets back up* Concern you! This… *Czzzzt!* Is MY battle! I will defeat him…by myself!

Amy: How can you say something like that? We're here to help you!

Tikal: Yes, and you're clearly in need of it!

Metal Sonic: I don't… NEED your help… nor do I WANT it! Just…let me be! *Czzzzt!*

Amy: What's wrong with you, anyway!? Why are you acting so stubborn!?

Metal Sonic: …

First of all, this is a battle…to determine which of us…is the strongest! *Czzzzt!* If I…were to accept your help, then I won't be able…to truly prove that I am…the superior model! Do you have… ANY idea how much…my pride would be wounded!? Secondly… I heard Doctor Nega's message… *Czzzzt!* His plan was to…distract you from…collecting rings! By interfering…with this fight, aren't you doing precisely what he wants!?

Nack: …

Foist of all, we already got uddah people on 'da hunt for rings. Second of all, I ain't doin' 'dis ta help you. Me 'n' Bean are in 'dis, 'cause we've gotta bone 'ta pick wit' 'dat copy o' yours!

Amy: Yes, and besides… That "pride" of yours won't be worth anything if you wind up dead!

Metal Sonic: …

Amy: So, we're helping, whether you like it or not!

Metal Sonic: …Fine. *Czzzzt!* Do what you want. I honestly…don't know why YOU'RE going out of your way to help me, anyway. I hope you realize…that Sonic is next on my agenda…after HE'S been taken care of.

Amy: …

Ray: He's got a point, Amy.

Amy: I'm helping you, simply because it needs to be done. Sure, you may still have a rivalry with Sonic, but you aren't the bad person you used to be.

Metal Sonic: …

Metal Overlord 3.0: I don't have time to sit here and listen to your ridiculous babble. *Aims his finger again and fires at them*

*They spread out and dodge*

Nack: Eat lead, chump! *Starts blasting him*

Bean: DYNAMITE POWER! *Tosses bombs*

Following Nack and Bean's lead, everyone else tried attacking him again as well, but unfortunately for them, their attacks were once again rendered useless against the super-powered machine.

Metal Overlord 3.0: HAHAHAHAHAHA… What, is that all the power you possess? Pathetic. *Aims his finger again and blasts them*

Everyone: AAAAAHH! *They fall over*

Honey: He has…to have SOME kind of weakness! But what?

Ray: Heck if I know!

Metal Overlord 3.0: HAHAHAHAHA! Fools! Haven't you put it together yet? I possess NO weakness whatsoever! Now that I've obtained these newfound powers from the Chaos Rings, I am unmistakably the most powerful being the world has ever known! I am the ultimate, unrivaled power in the universe!

…

Now that I think about it… Why is it that I continue to follow orders from Dr. Nega? There is nothing he can possibly threaten me with, as I have a power that FAR exceeds his or any other machine he could possibly make! In fact, after I'm finished dealing with you meddlesome pipsqueaks, I'm going to take world domination into my own hands! I shall create a utopia of my own, where I reign supreme over all!

Cream: We won't let you do that!

Cheese & Chocola: Chao, Chao!

Tikal: The Chaos Rings, he said? The very same ones created by an ancient civilization many years ago, which were infused with Chaos Emerald energy?

Metal Sonic: Yes, those are the ones. *Czzzzt!*

Tikal: Since the Chaos Rings are exactly the same as the Chaos Emeralds, it should be possible to cancel out their power using the Master Emerald!

Bark: Good thinking! Without the power of the Chaos Rings, we should actually be able to do some real damage!

Nack: HAHAHA! Now ya speakin' my language!

Tikal: I'm heading to the altar right now! *Starts running*

Metal Overlord 3.0: Do you TRULY think you could escape me? *Starts shooting at her*

Tikal: Ahhhhhh! *Dodges the blasts and runs off*

Metal Overlord 3.0: Hmm, no matter… I'll just dispose of her when she returns.

Metal Sonic: Good… *Czzzt!* While she's doing that… I'm going to need the rest of you… To buy some time… Until my built-in auto-recovery system…is finished repairing the damage that was done…to me. *Czzzzt!*

Ray: Okay, no problem.

Metal Sonic: When that's…taken care of, and as soon as Three-Point Zero has been deprived…of the Chaos Rings' powers, I will no longer require your assistance. I will…destroy him with my own hands!

And so, to buy enough time for Metal Sonic's recovery process, as well as Tikal to come back with the Master Emerald, they all continued fighting against Metal Sonic Version 3.0, despite being unable to inflict any damage on him. Meanwhile, back at Red Mountain, Scorch and Shock were still in the middle of a beam struggle with Iblis.

Slush: Man… This is getting nowhere FAST! Squash, Storm! I have an idea!

Squash: You do? Okay then let's hear it.

Slush: While Iblis is busy shooting at them, he's leaving himself open for us to attack him from both sides, and behind him.

Storm: Good idea.

Squash: Alright, let's do it! *Goes to Iblis' left*

Storm: *Goes to his right*

Slush: *Gets behind him* Alright, let's do it! Arctic Star… POWEEERRRR!

Squash: Geo Star… POWEEERRRR!

Storm: Aero Star… POWEEERRRR!

Scorch: I guess we might as well take it up a notch, too! Nova Star… POWEEERRRR!

Shock: Electro Star… POWEEERRRR!

By combining their powers, Slush, Squash, and Storm succeeded not only in damaging Iblis, but catching him off guard in the process, with allowed Scorch and Shock to over-power the monster's large heat-based energy beam.

Iblis: *Growls in pain as an explosion occurs*

Scorch: HAHAHAHAHA… I think we did it this time!

Storm: Yes, hopefully…

Slush: Now's your chance, big sis. Now that Iblis is submerged under the lava, I think now would be a good time to seal him up again!

Scorch: Right. *Takes the Fire Gem out of her tiara*

With the Fire Element Gem in hand, Scorch held it over the lava. After releasing it from her hands, the gem floated into the air and started sucking up Iblis' flames like a vacuum cleaner; much like the Scepter of Darkness did to Mephiles.

Scorch: *Catches the gem as it falls, and places it back in her tiara*

Shock: Finally… It's all over. Here's hoping we'll never have to hear from THAT thing again!

Storm: That's for sure.

Squash: Yeah, the same thing goes for Mephiles. That conniving backstabber…

Meanwhile, up at The Doomsday Zone, Knuckles, the Chaotix, and all the rest of the super-powered heroes received more rings via the space transporter at Tails' Workshop. Additionally, they found out that the Robotniks and the Egg Galaxia survived the heroes' devastating attack. However, it was in a quite a weakened state.

Super Vector: What!? Oh, come on! Gimme a break! The thing STILL ain't completely destroyed!?

Super Sonic: So… Back for more, huh, Ro-butt-niks?

Super Knuckles: Hmph… You just don't know when to give up, do you?

Super Espio: Yes, I think it's about time you've accepted your defeat, doctors.

Super Charmy: Yeah!

Super Mighty: Exactly. It doesn't look as if that machine can take any more damage…

Burning Blaze: I think it would be wise at this point to just hand over the Sol Emeralds, just as promised!

Nega Robotnik: Eee hee hee… You haven't won yet, fools! I still have yet to play my trump card… While constructing the Egg Galaxia, I've prepared just in case…for this VERY moment!

Super Silver: Huh? What are you talking about?

Robotnik: Hold on a second, you don't mean…

Nega Robotnik: Eee hee hee! That's right! Just as I did with the Egg Wizard a while ago, I've also installed the Planet Buster Laser to THIS machine to use as a last resort!

Super Sonic: Uh oh!

Burning Blaze: No! Not again!

Nega Robotnik: Eee hee hee hee hee!

Robotnik: WHAT!? Nega, are you INSANE!?

Super Silver: Did you even NEED to ask?

Robotnik: If by some chance, you happen to miss them, you'll destroy the entire planet!

Nega Robotnik: If THAT'S what it's going to take to dispose of them, then so be it! Eee hee hee! Prepare to die, FOOLS!

Robotnik: I'm warning you, Nega, do NOT press that bu-

Nega Robotnik: PLANET BUSTER LASER, FIIIIIIIIIIRE!!!

The moment Dr. Nega pressed the button and fired the Planet Buster Laser, the Chaotix and the rest of the super-powered group of heroes started pushing against it, in an attempt to block it and keep it from destroying the Earth, which was right behind them.

Robotnik: AUGH! Nega, you have COMPLETELY lost your mind! I want NO part of this! *Presses a button, and ejects with an escape pod*

Nega Robotnik: W-WHAT!? Yours is working…!? I mean-… Curses!

Robotnik: HAHAHAHAHAHA… That's right, Nega! It's just as I suspected... I knew that you would end up pulling a stunt like this, so while you were busy getting a spare body for Metal Sonic 3.0's control chip, I took the liberty of enabling MY escape pod, and disabling YOURS!

Nega Robotnik: But how did you know…!?

Robotnik: I wasn't born yesterday, you know. Aside from Scorch and Slush's warnings, I knew from the very beginning that you couldn't be trusted, and that you'd double-cross me the first chance you got. I just simply played along.

Nega Robotnik: CURSES!

Robotnik: *Takes out a walkie-talkie* Shock, Storm! Can you hear me?

At Red Mountain…

Shock: *Answers* Yeah, we hear you, Doc. Loud and clear.

Storm: Yes, I can hear you, as well. What's going on?

Robotnik: There is a space transporter at my base. I need you and Storm to come up here and lend Sonic and company a hand in stopping Dr. Nega from blowing up this planet!

Shock: We're on it!

Squash: …

Scorch: Nega's trying to destroy the planet!?

Slush: Well, it certainly didn't take HIM long to show his true colors now, did it?

Robotnik: Is that you I hear over there, Scorch and Slush? HAHAHAHAHAHA… That's rather convenient! I was just going to tell Shock and Storm to make sure that you two came along, since the two of you are so eager to settle things with Nega. Well, now's your chance! Hurry, for there might not be much time left!

Scorch: Leave it to us, Dr. Robotnik.

Squash: Count me out. I take orders from no one, especially from Ivo.

Slush: Okay then. Suit yourself.

*Scorch, Slush, Shock, and Storm take off*

In a miraculous turn of events, Dr. Robotnik and Dr. Nega's alliance has come to an end once again. Apparently, Nega had planned on betraying his ancestor from the very beginning, only to find himself outwitted. Additionally, the Elemental Goddesses have managed to triumph over Iblis, and had him resealed within the Fire Element Gem. Time is running out… Will they be able to get there in time to help Knuckles, the Chaotix and company stop Dr. Nega from destroying the planet? Will Tikal be able to return with the Master Emerald on time to help put a stop to Metal Sonic 3.0's monstrous power? Find out on the next exciting chapter of Knuckles' Chaotix: Elements of Power, Episode 2: Elemental Chaos!
