Chapter 9- Supersonic
Sonic and Shadow let Eggman up and Sonic glared at the doctor, “Okay Eggman, I’m gonna go and get the Chaos Emeralds and you’re gonna stay here and not try anything funny.”
Sonic then walked over to the gap in the deck and was about to jump down into the machine room when suddenly Metal Sonic exploded out of the robot generating machine and flew up to the top of the spire on top of the control room
“Metal, what’re you doing?!” shouted Eggman, Metal responded by laughing in his usual cold mechanical tone, “I have absorbed all the energy from the three Chaos Emeralds, and now I will absorb the energy from the other four. Chaos Control.” suddenly Shadow, Sonic and Knuckles’s emeralds appeared above Metal Sonic in a flash of light and began floating around the robot, who began to glow slightly as the energy flowed into him.
Eventually the emeralds lost their glow and fell onto the deck far below, Metal Sonic laughed loudly, “Finally I will become the ultimate me once again.” Metal then raised his right hand and aimed it skyward, the sun had gone down long ago and now black clouds swirled around the spire Metal stood on. Suddenly a bolt of lighting struck the spire and a large chunk of the Egg Fortress exploded, the parts flew around in the air and then began to circulate around a ball of white light floating high in the air. Sonic and the others could only watch as the ship’s parts began to fit together to form a giant, monstrous robotic creature; “Metal Overlord.” said Eggman, terrified (See the final story of Sonic Heroes to see what Metal Overlord looks like)
Metal Overlord, now complete, took off and flew around the Egg Fortress. It started to rain heavily as Sonic walked over to the Chaos Emeralds and picked them up, they had lost all their energy and were now useless, “How’re we supposed to stop Metal now?” asked Sonic
“I’ve got an idea,” said Knuckles, “If Metal hasn’t drained the energy from the Master Emerald then I could use it to restore the Chaos Emeralds, but I’ll need time.”
“I can use my robots to distract Metal Sonic while you restore the emeralds.” said Eggman.
A minute later every Egg Pawn on the Egg Fortress stood on the edge of the ship shooting at Metal Overlord while Knuckles stood in front of the Master Emerald with the seven Chaos Emeralds lying around Sonic and Shadow. Knuckles closed his eyes and concentrated,
“The servers are the seven chaos
Chaos is power, power is enriched by the heart
The controller is the one that unifies the chaos
Only you can do this; Restore the Chaos Emeralds.”
The Master Emerald began to glow and the seven Chaos Emeralds rose off the ground and began to glow as well. The seven emeralds floated above Sonic and Shadow and Knuckles walked over to the two hedgehogs, “Ready guys?” asked Sonic, Knuckles and Shadow nodded and the trio each held out their left hands and put them on top of each other, the Chaos Emeralds started spinning around the three friends and suddenly there was an enormous explosion of yellow light as Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles changed into their super forms.
The three looked over to the edge of the Egg Fortress and saw Metal Overlord destroying the Egg Pawns, they turned to each other, nodded and took off towards the gargantuan robot.
When Metal Overlord saw Sonic he was both shocked and angered, “What? How could you have used the power of the Chaos Emeralds when I drained them of their energy?!”
Sonic smirked, “What’s the matter Metal, are we too much for ya?” Metal Overlord roared, “Now I will finally show you I am more powerful than you, prepare to die, Sonic the Hedgehog.” Metal then began firing crystals at the trio, “Guys, I’ll take care of this.” Sonic said as he began to spin, “Shadow, gimme a boost.” Shadow then kicked Sonic at the oncoming crystals and he blasted through them. Then Metal grabbed a chunk of the Egg Fortress and tore it away from the rest of the ship and threw it towards Sonic, “I’ll take it.” said Knuckles, the echidna flew towards the large piece of debris coming at him and effortlessly punched through it. Now Metal Overlord held out his claw and his fingers launched themselves like torpedoes at the three heroes, “Now it’s my turn.” said Shadow, “Chaos Spear!” thousands of Chaos Spears appeared and not only destroyed the missiles but hit Metal as well, “That was for hurting Rouge you metallic bastard!” shouted Shadow as Metal reeled from the attack.
“It’s not over yet.” cried Metal Overlord, “I have yet to unleash my true power.” Metal then began to shake as light swirled around him, “He’s trying to use the power of the Chaos Emeralds, we gotta stop him now!” shouted Sonic, Shadow looked over at him, “You thinking what I’m thinking?” Shadow asked, Sonic smirked as he realised Shadow’s plan, “Right, let’s go, Knuckles, get ready.”
Sonic and Shadow took off as Knuckles yelled, “Ready for what?” The two hedgehogs flew up towards Metal and began to spin around him in a Super Tornado. Metal Overlord was stunned by the tornado and Sonic and Shadow flew up above Metal, “Now Knuckles; Fire Dunk!” Sonic shouted, Knuckles nodded and flew up to join the two, who began to spin in preparation, Knuckles held out his hands and Sonic and Shadow began to spin round them, then Knuckles threw the two hedgehogs at Metal with as much force as possible.
Sonic and Shadow both crashed through Metal’s arms and destroyed them and Knuckles charged through the robot’s chest and punched a hole through it, as Metal screeched in pain Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles gathered together and all three started to spin and a ball of energy formed around them. The trio rocketed towards Metal Overlord and hit him full force, completely decimating the robot.
