I started my own Blog. Check it out once I post the link in my Bio. Everytime I post I plan to give an update on how my fics are coming along. That way you have some idea when my next fic/chapter will be up.

--------------------------------

Apocolypse - This is done similar to Final Hazard. One team fights while the other collects rings. Wait for the core to be exposed and use a Special Team Blast.

Apocolypse's Revival: A Sonic Heroes Story.

Chapter 12

The Rose Petals and The Chaotix Detectives ran off. Eggman didn't care though. Sonic was his main target; he could hunt down the rest later. Eggman took a few seconds to savior the moment. An argument raged inside his mind on how to destroy Sonic. Laser, Missiles, bullets or simply just crushing him to pieces with one of Apocolypse's huge arms.

Meanwhile Tails and the two robots surveyed the area. The shutter was the only way out.

"What do you think guys?" asked Tails.

"Perhaps we're looking for a more complex solution when a basic one will do. Blast that shutter to pieces", said Metal Sonic.

"Only one way to find out. Destroy!" shouted Omega firing all his weapons at once at the shutter. Fortunately it blew open and allowed them to enter Eggman's cockpit.

The sound of the shutter being blown open made Eggman jump in fear. They had him cornered. He looked over to Miles and Rouge. He noticed that they had some devices he hadn't assimilated yet. Miles wrist shooters and Rouge's wing upgrades.

"Apocolypse see their weapons down there. Bring them here to this cockpit", said Eggman. Suddenly Miles and Rouge found themselves being dragged towards Apocolypse.

"Rouge get rid of Joz's wing upgrades!" shouted Miles who had removed his wrist shooters. Rouge did so and the weapons left their bodies heading towards Apocolypse.

Outside Apocolypse Miles and Rouge had rejoined the others.

"Eggman wanted those weapons for some reason. Perhaps Tails and the others have bought us some time. It's now or never guys", said Sonic.

"Wait Shadow I want you to think back to that incident. Maria's Death, the pain and the anger when she got shot", said Miles, "Think back to how GUN did it to save their reputation. Rouge you can use Joz here. Think back to when Shadow got frozen"

"Good idea. Mighty I know you have being manipulated, especially by Eggman. Remember he did use those Mind Control crowns on you", said Knuckles.

Miles knew he had to think only of positive thoughts. Meeting up with Shadow and Joz again made him happy. It was like a reunion if reunions involved spirits in blades and mind control crowns.

Knuckles thoughts turned to the Master Emerald. The warm glow it gave him whenever it was safely stored in the shrine. The way it felt like he was fulfilling his purpose in life whenever it sat in it's usual place.

Sonic concentrated on how good it felt to ride the Tornado, to fight Eggman with his friends by his side and the great feeling he gets when he saves the world. Going super made him feel good and energised. He wanted it to happen again so bad.

Mighty took Knuckles' advice. The way Eggman used him sickened him. He wanted to redeem himself so bad. Every ounce of his body filled with Rage. He was going to get Eggman back, he was going to make him pay for using him like that.

Rouge thought back to her childhood. She remembered the stories her Grandfather used to tell her. How his account of Gerald and the real ultimate lifeform frightened her. She used this fear to help her. Joz also thought back to that day, when Shadow was inprisioned in that machine on Prison Island. The sadness and anger he felt that day all came back at once.

Shadow's thoughts turned to that moment. Apocolypse didn't matter as that dreadful incident on ARK played through his mind. Over and Over again he heard her say

"Give they a chance to be happy". He intended to keep that promise above all else.

Meanwhile back on Apocolypse Eggman had put on Miles wrist shooters and had shot mud at the intruders. Miles mud was something special as it stuck the victim to the floor. While Metal Sonic, Omega and Tails struggled to get out he returned to Apocolypse's controls and decided on a rather explosive way to take out sonic. He fired missiles at them and they hit the target. As it exploded Eggman sighed before laughing maniacally.

"YES I finally did it. No way they could've survived that!" said Eggman.

"No! Sonic!" whimpered Tails as a tear shred down his cheek.

A cloud of smoke lay where the heroes were planning on transforming. The Emerald had started glowing again but there was no evidence that they had achieved super power. They were pushing their luck, no way they could create 6 super beings. Then just as all hope had seemed to have faded away into nothing it happened.

"MARIA!!" shouted a familiar voice. It was Shadow who had rose from the cloud in his super form. Sonic and the other four heroes soon followed. Eggman froze in fear as he saw them. The Golden flames surrounding Knuckles and Miles came from Super Sonic, just like they did when the Sonic Heroes took on the Metal Overlord. Silver flames surrounded Rouge and Mighty and alongside the 4 in flame balls the two super hedgehogs stood glowing with Chaos Energy. They had done it, 2 super teams of 3.

Creamy silver had replaced Shadow's Black fur as his love for Maria and hatred for GUN has awoken his super form. Gold had replaced Sonic's traditional Blue fur and his spikes stuck up like Shadows. Just like the last few times a miracle was needed Sonic had become Super Sonic.

"Alright we did it. Now let's finish this", said Super Sonic, "We'll take the first round. When we need rings we'll switch with you Shadow"

"OK. Just don't let your Chaos Energy get depleted", said Super Shadow.

"You ready Amy? Vector?" shouted Super Sonic.

"Just come to us when you need rings OK. We've found plenty", said Amy.

"We're ready for Apocolypse. Are you ready for us Eggman?" asked Super Sonic.

Eggman looked on in horror, as everything they had planned seemed to be coming together. But then he realised they needed to hit the orb and that was safely stored beneath a very thick layer of armour.

"Apocolypse go into auto-pilot. Take down those pests, I'll take care of these three and make sure your orb doesn't get exposed", said Eggman. He began shouting to Sonic; "You'll never defeat Apocolypse. All I have to do is wait until you run out of Chaos Energy. Not even your super form can penetrate Apocolypse's Armour".

"We'll see. Well like Shadow would say, There's no time for games. Eggman you're going down", said Super Sonic dashing towards Apocolypse.

Apocolypse responded by firing Missiles. Thus began the final fight as did Tails' new team dashing towards Apocolypse's control panel. All they needed was to expose the orb but Eggman was set on preventing them from doing that.

The two teams flight mode was enough to take out the wide spread missile attacks, the power mode was enough to stop Apocolypse from smashing them with it's arms and speed got them close enough to do some damage. But it was only cosmetic. Apocolypse's armour was too tough and as a piece fell off Apocolypse merely assimilated it again. Their attacks were leading nowhere until a bright light appeared in the middle of Apocolypse. It was the Orb; Tails had managed to fight Eggman off the controls enough so that he could expose the orb.

"Guys that's its weak spot. We need to destroy that orb", said Miles. Super Sonic nodded and smashed full speed into the orb but he ended up just bouncing off it.

"Man that stuff's tougher that the Metal Overlord armour. Wait that's it! We need to work together on this one. Time for a double team blast", said Super Sonic ending with a shout.

"There's no time for games. Let's do this now", shouted Super Shadow.

Eggman watched in horror as the 6 fighters encased in flame spheres began charging up energy. The 4 inside the cockpit could do nothing but watch as the super six's energy was fired towards Apocolypse's Orb in an amazing laser like blast. To the delight to the 15 fighters and the horror of one evil egg, the Orb cracked. A couple more of them super blasts and it'll fall apart.

"That's it. If we do that a couple more times…" said Super Sonic.

"Way ahead of ya!" said Super Shadow charging another blast.

Meanwhile Eggman had reached the control console and hid the orb behind Apocolypse's thick armour. The super six knew they had done some damage, but they knew it was up to Tails and his metal allies. They had to expose the orb again while the super six stayed super charged and gathered enough energy for another Double team blast.

This worked two more times with the final double blast cracking the Orb into small pieces.

"No, how could he beat me yet again? I can't believe this is happening. ARGH!!" screamed Eggman as Apocolypse began blowing up. Without the Orb Apocolypse was highly unstable, Eggman knew he had to get out of there. He used Joz's jet and armour wing upgrades that allowed him to jet away from the cockpit. Metal Sonic grabbed Tails and Omega and followed Eggman. Eggman landed on the floor and span round as if to shoot Metal Sonic. He then found a blade on his neck. Rouge had managed to sneak up on Eggman and threatened to kill him.

"It's Over Eggman. Hand over my grandfathers wing upgrades and I'll spare your life", said Rouge. Sonic then reverted back to his normal self, as did Shadow. Their super forms faded back into the Chaos Emeralds. Just as they were about to scatter across Earth Shadow jumped and grabbed the green Emerald.

"This one is mine!" said Shadow. No one paid any attention.

"It's over Eggman. You've been defeated", said Sonic

"I know. But don't think this is the end", said Eggman, "No prison will hold me and I'll be back".

"What about the Orb Sonic? Shouldn't we destroy it for good?" asked Knuckles.

"But how can we do that? It automatically regenerates", said Rouge.

"Lava? Let's melt the thing in a volcano", said Tails, "Leave it to me"

"No offense but you're just a kid", said Rouge.

"Funny Joz, you used to say the same thing about me", said Miles smiling.

"Don't worry, with my tornado…" said Tails

"I can do anything", said Miles finishing his sentence.

"Wait, wasn't the Tornado 2 assimilated by Apocolypse?" asked Sonic with a confused look on his face.

"See for yourself," said Tails pointing at the Tornado 2. It looked rather damaged; Sonic didn't know what to think.

"It can fly don't worry about that", said Tails, "Although it's going to need some repairs and a new paint job".

"No doubt you're more happy with something to fix than if the Tornado made it out unscratched", said Sonic laughing.

Soon after Tails left in the Tornado 2 carrying the Apocolypse Orb (using the same magnet he used to carry the Master Emerald at the End of the Death Egg saga). He dropped the orb into a Volcano and watched as the Orb melted with the Lava.

Later that night, after Eggman had been arrested by GUN, everyone had returned to Amy's beach hut to celebrate. Big and Cream sat beside their small friends, waiting for some signs that they were OK. Froggy and Chocola Chao woke up as Amy entered the room.

"You two coming down to join us?" asked Amy.

"In a minute Amy", said Big as Froggy jumped on his head, "Froggy just woke up"

"So did Chocola Chao. I think they're fine now", said Cream smiling. Cheese flew towards Chocola and they began playing.

"You know I don't care if this whole thing was just to get our data. It was a lot of fun", said Big.

"Well if you two are happy I'm going after Sonic. See ya!" said Amy running out of the room.

Meanwhile outside of the hut Shadow sat on the beach and looked out towards the ocean. He admired the reflection of the clear night sky and thought about what he was going to do next. He thought he had died last time and had made his peace. Now he was alive and kicking and had no idea what to do now. Rouge and Omega were good company but this wasn't really his time. His time had been 50 years ago and the Leader of the 3 Shadows. Miles and Rouge joined him outside.

"What's the matter Shadow?" asked Rouge.

"You wouldn't understand", replied Shadow.

"You're suffering from an identity crisis. You were once a great hero who dedicated his life to fulfilling a promise to a dying girl. Now you're confused and next to Sonic you fell redundant. Am I right?" asked Miles.

"Look Miles it's been great seeing you and fighting alongside Joz again but the 3 Shadows died 50 years ago. Gerald is dead and there are new heroes", said Shadow.

"I feel the same way. I am nothing more than an old fox, a Shadow from the past. But you should know since your freezing my life hasn't been a happy one. It wasn't until this adventure that I found out my grandson is still alive", said Miles.

"So Tails is your Grandfather?" asked Rouge.

"Yep. He's named after me you know. He doesn't need me though. He's done quite well for himself being a heroes sidekick", said Miles.

"So what are you going to do now?" asked Rouge.

"I don't know. See Shadow you have not the only one who has no idea where they are heading", said Miles. An awkward silence filled the air.

"You know I never did say goodbye to you guys. Grab my sword", said Rouge. Shadow and Miles did so and joined Joz's spirit in the blade for the 3 Shadow's final farewell.

Inside the hut Mighty, Vector, Espio and Charmy were discussing that battle against the Metal Emperor. Mighty explained how the explosion left him hanging on by a thread and how Eggman took him in his fragile state to a prison cell.

"That's awful Mighty. But you're back with the Chaotix now", said Vector.

"Yeah! We're complete again!" said Charmy, "Aren't we?"

"Afraid not Charmy", said Mighty shaking his head.

"Huh? What the? I don't understand ya!" said Vector.

"You guys don't need me. Perhaps I'll see you again someday, but I have to find what I'm destined for", said Mighty.

"That's crazy talk. You're a member of Chaotix", said Vector.

"I was a member. The Chaotix crew have seem to have done pretty well without me", said Mighty. Mighty turned, waving goodbye. He was about to run out and find his calling as Vector spoke out.

"We haven't you know. My Dreams since that day have been nothing but nightmares, Reliving that incident in my head over and over again", said Vector.

"It's not been the same without you", said Espio, "but if you feel like you need to do something we won't get in your way". Vector Smiled.

"He's right. Just remember there's always a home for you with us", said Vector.

Mighty ran out of the hut and headed off into the distance.

"Do you think we'll ever see him again Vecta?" asked Charmy

"Probably. Well anyway boys I think it's time to go home and await out next assignment", said Vector.

"Aw! Can't we stay just a little while longer", said Charmy.

"You're only 6 and it's getting late", said Vector. Charmy looked upset.

"Ok we'll stay for another hour but then it's back to base", said Vector. Charmy cheered with joy.

Meanwhile the Sonic Heroes had been discussing their plans.

"Well guys I think it's time to go. Knuckles we'll drop you off at Angel Island", said Sonic.

"Ok but what's the rush?" asked Tails.

"Amy. She'll be back down any minute. Now's my chance to escape", said Sonic. Tails sighed and summoned the Tornado 2.

The Sonic Heroes jumped in as Amy reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Sonic! Where ya goin? I'm not letting you get away from me again", said Amy.

"Hurry Tails", said Sonic in a panic. Tails and Knuckles sighed as the Tornado took off.

"So do you think that'll be the last time we'll fight Eggman?" asked Tails

"Of course not. He'll be back and so will we", said Knuckles.

"And we'll beat him again. He never stood a chance against us and he never will because we're Sonic Heroes", said Sonic.

The following night Mighty and Miles found Metal Sonic smashing boulders in the mountains.

"What ya doing that for Metal?" asked Mighty.

"I have a better question, what are you two doing here? Without your mind control crowns you have no reason to follow me", said Metal Sonic.

"You pissed off because Eggman used you?" asked Miles, "Or because the big bad villian did something heroic this time"

"I am no Hero. I did what I did to get back at Eggman", said Metal Sonic.

"Well whatever the reason I'm here because the only time I've ever felt like I've belonged was beside you", said Mighty.

"Shadow has Rouge and Omega, Joz exists only in spirit now. Before our spirits left the Annemuir Joz said that Shadow was part of a new team. For a small moment of my life I was part of a team again and I liked it", said Miles. There was a moment of silence before Metal turned to them.

"So what do we do now?" asked Metal, "Do you want me to help people, or should we go destroy stuff?"

"Let's just wait until Eggman put together another plan. No doubt there'll be some part for us to play", said Miles. The other two nodded and started another team of Rogues.

A new day brings new adventure, but for now rest easy Heroes, Rogues and Villians alike.

THE END.
