The people of course were scared. Sonic was about to attack when a missile exploded behind him. Metal shadow flew over him, Sonic ignored the civilians and chased after Metal Shadow. Sonic grabbed metal by his leg and he dropped down.

As soon as they both fell back to the ground. Sonic picked up a car and dropped it on metal. Metal broke out of the car and gave Sonic an uppercut throwing him back into a parked truck. Sonic evaded out of the way when metal charged straight into the truck. Metal was about to fire his machine gun when Sonic lunged at him. Sonic smashed metal into the concrete. Sonic beat senselessly into metals body. Metal grabbed one of his fists, metal threw his fist across the side of Sonic's face.

Sonic stumbled back, Metal picked him up with both his hands. Metal threw Sonic straight through an office building window. Metal flew in, sonic rolled to the left and got up. Metal stopped then charged back at him. Sonic hung his arm out leaving metal crashing his head into it. Sonic grabbed him by the neck and continuously smashed him into the floor until it started to crackle. Sonic took a few steps back and threw metal through the cracked floor. It broke and metal fell from one floor to another. Finally metal crashed into the bottom.

Sonic jumped down at him, metal rolled to the right. Metal fired a missile blowing Sonic through a wall back outside. Sonic got back up, he saw that metal wasn't coming out. Instead metal flew above Sonic. Metal pressed a few buttons on his wrist control band. Metal shadow then took off flying away. Sonic's ear perked up when coming down the street were at least about ten Egg Titans marching toward him.

Sonic being outnumbered didn't even occur to him, especially in his werewolf form. Sonic ripped a light pole out of the ground. All the egg titans surrounded him. Sonic smacked one across the face, Sonic shoved the light pole through the center of another, another egg titan loomed over him. Sonic fell backwards, the egg titan tripped and fell toward sonic. Sonic held the light pole up, the egg titan went right on it. Sonic threw the carcass of the robot to the side and got back up.

Sonic threw the light pole like a spear straight into the center of an egg titan. An egg titan picked Sonic up and slammed him into the pavement. The egg titan dropped his fist down on Sonic, but he grabbed it and twisted it off with a simple flick of the wrist. Sonic used the arm and beat another egg titan into the dust with it. The other egg titans retreated, sonic tilted his head. From behind, Eggman's metal crafted jets swooped and bombarded the area with missiles. Sonic was hit by several and was flying around the place like a pinball. Sonic stood up trying not to accelerate the pain. Sonic saw people cowering in the streets from the robots. Sonic noticed a burning building, fire blazing from some of the windows.

A fire truck rolled in and immediately sprayed the house wit water, but it was far too large. Sonic noticed a group of people being kept away from the building by the firemen. One of the women was urging to get past the firemen, "Its my baby! He's still in there!'' she sobbed. The firemen wouldn't let her pass. Sonic jumped into the burning building, the people saw him go in. A large burst of flame ignited inside the building. The mother screamed, Sonic rammed through the wall of the building and landed back outside. Sonic was holding the mothers baby. Sonic stepped toward the group of people. "Stay back!'' one of the firemen shouted but sonic ignored him. Sonic showed in his hands the mothers baby covered with a blanket, sonic saved him. The mother came forward and slowly picked her baby up from Sonic's hands. She hugged her baby, the people were beyond confused why Sonic came to the child's rescue. "Look out!'' a person shouted.

Sonic snorted and turned around, a incoming car headed for the group of people. Sonic stomped into the ground, he caught the car with his hands. Sonic threw the car to the side. Sonic turned to the people and nodded with that he jumped away, now the people knew they judged him too early. Shadow arrived at the scene along with the others including brandy.

"Sonic!'' brandy called out. Sonic turned around to the sound of her voice. The whole group started running to him. Sonic transformed back to normal. Brandy hugged him tightly, he returned the hug too. "I'm glad your alright.'' she said "I was about to say the same.'' sonic smiled. Just then a green beam of light hit them. All of them started hovering up into the air. "Its Eggman!'' shadow pointed up at the Egg Carrier above them.

Once they were all teleported onto the bridge they were landed in shackles up against the wall. Eggman walked toward them. "All of you have been pests, every time I tried to take over the world you stopped it!'' Eggman yelled, he walked down the line looking at each of them. "Luckily I have an idea that will not only destroy you and this city, but will help me take over the world!!!'' Eggman laughed evilly "What are you planning?!'' dawn yelled "With the seven chaos emeralds I have, yes sonic and shadow you dropped yours during the fights you were having.'' Eggman added "As I was saying, I shall have my three metals fuse together to create the most powerful robot ever! And in a few minutes my portal open two entities that should have never met, Time and Space. Dialga and Palkia!!'' he laughed "And there's nothing you can do about it.'' Eggman smirked. The group then were released from their shackles and below them trap doors opened leaving them in a freefall. Shadow's hands glowed green, "Chaos Control!!'' he yelled. The whole group teleported down onto the roof of a skyscraper. On board the Egg Carrier, Metal Sonic, Metal Knuckles, and Metal Shadow stood in a circle. The seven emeralds swirled around them then a bright flash. Eggman was outside in his hovership. "Dialga and Palkia? Are they under his control?'' asked sonic "No they're both legendary pokemon with great power, enough power to send this city into another dimension.'' ash told. Pieces of metal started adding to where the three metals were. Large pieces ripped clean off of Eggman's battleships came and joined the three metals.

The heroes watched in horror when the bright light vanished there flying above they city was a collaboration of metal. There were three heads, each had two aligned eyes and sharp teeth. Each had long necks and dragon like heads. One was blue, one was red, the one in the middle was red and black. The huge abomination had three separate wings on its back, in the center of the monster was a shining gold power core. Metal hands stuck out from the sides, both had razor sharp thin claws. It had two pairs of legs made out of the pieces from the Egg Carrier and other battleships. "Now what will you do?" Eggman mocked.

Sonic ran up a building. "I have the cure for the werewolf, and who knows if you will-'' Eggman stopped speaking when sonic snatched the cure out of his hand. Sonic sped back to his friends. Sonic smirked, he drank the vial and threw it to the ground shattering it. Sonic felt better, the pain that always remained in his stomach was gone, he was cured.

"Now that your cured we still have to fight off this super metal monster.'' shadow noted. "They may have used the negative energies, but we have the positive energy." sonic reminded. Shadow nodded, their friends took a few steps back when they saw the seven emeralds started coming from far away. The emeralds encircled the two hedgehogs, the emeralds started spinning around in a circle quicker. Their friends shielded their eyes when a bright gold light shined. There stood the two heroes in their super forms. "You ready for this?'' shadow asked "You know it.'' sonic said giving him a thumbs up. The two then shot up into the air with one last fight against the super powered metal abomination.

Sonic and Shadow darted straight through the metal monster making it scream. Metal turned himself around, from his back a volley of missiles fired at both. Sonic and Shadow flew in zigzags away from the missiles. Sonic charged, metal swung his fist on top of him throwing him down quickly back down to the street. Shadow fired a bombardment of red chaos spears. Metal screamed an echoing screech. Metal fired a laser out of the metal knuckles head. Shadow dove under it and set a series of punches at the metal knuckles head. The metal shadow head fired a beam of red energy throwing shadow crashing through three buildings until crashing into the street where sonic was. "He's tough.'' sonic said "Wait, what's that?'' shadow pointed up into the sky. It was mix of blue and purple portal. Flying out of it was Palkia and Dialga.

"Great now what?'' shadow complained "Remember these pokemon hate each other and seeing that metal monster won't make them think differently.'' sonic explained. "So the pokemon might even attack metal?'' shadow asked "Definitely.'' sonic assured. The two hedgehogs went after metal. Palkia tackled into metal, metal grabbed Palkia and tossed him into a skyscraper. Dialga fired a series of explosive comets down at metal. The metal shadow head was about to fire his beam of red energy when Sonic punched him in the side of his head. "Its pretty easy to punch these guys since their heads are large.'' sonic said smirking. Palkia fired a hyper beam at Dialga, instead it hit shadow. Shadow was sent crashing into a office building. Metal reached his hand inside, shadow hovered off to the side. Shadow speared straight through his wrist cutting his hand off. Metal roared in agony. Sonic created a bubble shield around him when Dialga fired a hyper beam at him.

Sonic flew straight forward smashing into his center throwing the pokemon crashing into a construction site. Shadow spun in circles firing chaos spears at Palkia. Palkia raise his hand and the gem on his shoulder glowed, but metal being so much larger tackled Palkia into a building. Shadow latched onto the back of metal he drove his fist into parts of his back. Shadow stuck his hand inside and fired chaos spears. Metal screeched. Dialga fired his super beam at shadow and metal. Both smashed through a building toppling it. Sonic ripped through one of metals wings. Metal grabbed him and continuously smashed him into a building. Palkia fired his hyper beam, sonic glowed brightly and a dome of energy destroyed metals other hand. Sonic flew away from metal as he was pummeled by the hyper beam. Metal grabbed both Palkia and Dialga.

He smashed them both together. Metal threw both into the air. In the mouths of all three heads a beam for the color they were glowed. Metal sonic fired a blue beam, metal knuckles fired a red beam, metal shadow fired a dark red beam. The three combined and intertwined with each other. The beam then hit both pokemon letting out a bright white light. Both Palkia and Dialga started to fall and separately crashed down levels of different buildings, each pokemon were covered with debris. "Wow.'' sonic said in amazement. "The fight isn't over yet sonic lets show him what we're made of!'' shadow chanted "You got it." sonic replied back.

Shadow landed on top of the metal shadow head, he threw his fist at shadow. Shadow jumped off the head and watched as the fist was drove into his own head. Metal knuckles and metal Sonic fired beams of blue and red energy. Sonic flew by shadows side, both created a shield. The beam hit them. "I don't know how long we can take this.'' sonic said fighting back the beams of energy "Just push forward.'' shadow replied. Sonic and Shadow pushed the beams back fast into metal. A big explosion occurred. Metal crashed sliding across the streets of New York. The two hedgehogs crashed through two buildings then the concrete street. Both heroes got back up dizzily. Metal came crashing through a building in front of them. Sonic and Shadow teleported above him.

Sonic formed into a ball and glowed. Shadow's hands glowed red. Sonic, in a blur dove and struck rapidly into the back of the metal monster. Shadow fired chaos spears at each of the three heads. Sonic bounced striking parts of metal, each of the heads were roaring. The metal knuckles head reached and grabbed shadow on his mouth and started pressing down. Shadow kept his mouth from shutting, but couldn't hold out for long.

Shadow took one of his hands off and aimed his hand at the upper jaw of the mouth, "Eat this.'' he said. A volley of chaos spears ripped straight through the metal knuckles head. Shadow grabbed the lower jaw and tore it straight off, tossing it aside. Shadow grabbed onto the head. He punched his fist into the eye of metal knuckles and fired chaos spears into it. A few flames started to appear around the neck of metal knuckles. Then the metal knuckles head burst into flame, destroyed.

One of the arms clenched its fist and punched shadow, throwing him through a building and crashing into the wall of another. Sonic flew under the monster. Sonic charged up, "Well no need for legs if your flying.'' sonic said. Sonic did a powerful spin dash through both legs blowing them up. From behind sonic a hyper beam hit him in the back slamming him against a wall. Dialga was the one who shot it. Palkia tackled Dialga down to street level. Dialga tackled him back into a building wall. Sonic saw metals huge arm swing and smash him into the ground. Sonic looked up and saw the metal sonic head ready to fire his blue beam. Out of nowhere, chaos latched on top of the metal sonic head. Chaos formed his hand into a spear like weapon. He rose it high then drove it into the eyes of the metal sonic head. A few seconds passed then the metal sonic head exploded, luckily chaos jumped off before it did. Chaos landed next to Sonic and helped him up. "Thanks chaos.'' he gave him a thumbs up. Dialga fired his super beam at Palkia, Palkia created a shield protecting himself from it.

Palkia fired his slash of energy hitting Dialga in the chest, throwing him against a wall of a building. "We really gotta stop these pokemon sonic.'' shadow said landing next to him. "I got a plan.'' sonic smirked. Sonic stayed hovering in mid air, with shadow above him. "Okay do it!'' sonic shouted. Shadow fired a large group of chaos spears at both Palkia and Dialga. Both Pokemon looked up at sonic and blamed him. The two Pokemon charged full force. At the last second shadow created a portal behind Sonic, sonic flew out of the way leaving both Pokemon head into the portal, then it vanished.

"The portal will bring them back to their own dimensions.'' shadow stated. "But we still have metal freak to finish off.'' sonic added "Then lets go.'' shadow flew down at metal. Shadow fired chaos spears repeatedly at the behemoth. Metal swung his arm on top of shadow smashing him into the concrete.

Sonic dashed for his head and punched left and right rapidly. Sonic did homing attacks all along his structure. Shadow got on one of his wings and punched inside the holding places for the wing. Shadow ripped out some wires, the wing went falling with a loud bang when it hit the street. Metal fired his dark red beam at shadow throwing him into the street leaving a crater. Sonic spin dashed straight through his last wing destroying it. Metal roared and screeched. "Lets finish this.'' shadow said to sonic. Shadow and Sonic created walls of chaos energy in front of them. They flew up pushing metal further into the sky. Sonic and Shadow both kicked and punched across the metal shadow head. Sonic and Shadow flew back a few feet. Their hands glowed bright gold.

They aimed at metals power core. The golden beam of light impacted metals core, metal screamed loudly it echoed across the sky. Finally it resulted in a huge bright explosion. Pieces of metal shards littered across the city, the war was over. Their friends came out of hiding and walked out in the middle of Times Square. Sonic and Shadow landed in front of them and exited their super forms. Brandy came and hugged sonic, she had tears of joy in her eyes. Kuki hugged shadow as well, she gave him a kiss on the cheek. Ash and Dawn both shook hands with the two hedgehog heroes.

Later at sunset the heroes: Sonic, Shadow, Brandy, Kuki, Ash, Dawn, and even Chaos stood on top of a tall skyscraper watching the sunset. Sonic sat next to brandy on the ledge of the building, she kissed him on the cheek. Shadow was standing up with his arms crossed, Kuki standing next to him. She grabbed his hand and smiled, as did he. Chaos sat watching the sunset being glad he's not under control by Eggman. Ash and Dawn stood at the edge of the building they both smiled at each other then looked back out to the sunset. Once again the world is saved, but for good. Eggman and his robot army and the three metals have been destroyed. The beast within Sonic now gone, he can now be back with his best friend brandy. Shadow fought against the army and its general and surpassed the odds, he's just glad Kuki's by his side. For what are we without are heroes to always protect and watch over us in our time of need.
