Here it is! The final chapter of this story! Enjoy!
Fire was everywhere, buildings were destroyed and people tried to get to shelter as Eggman was laughing to the point of madness as he finally felt this was his victory moment.
"Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho! The hedgehog is not here to stop me now! Time to finally take over the world"!
As soon as he thought it he noticed something through the robotic owl's eyes.
Sonic was back in the street, stretching as usual and prepared for any challenge.
"I can't go on trips without keeping an eye on you huh, Eggman"? He asked the doctor.
"Well, I'm going to make sure you won't have that problem anymore". Eggman said as he ordered robots to his aid.
Sonic didn't seem too bothered with it at all. Infect, he didn't even show signs of concern. As soon as the robots came close two characters charged at some of them at full force while some got electrified. The two were Knuckles and Murray while the shots came from Carmelita's pistol.
"You guys are gonna be okay"? Sonic asked them
"Sure, those robots don't have a chance"! Knuckles was sure of himself.
"Those robots are not a match for "The Murray""! Murray shouted
Carmelita just nodded in agreement with the two.
"Okay then, wish me luck". And with that Sonic sped off to his part of the plan.
After a few seconds Sonic found a building to run up on to be at the height of Clockwork.
"So, did you spent all of your lottery money and decided to use others creations or you just knew that I will trash everything you will make and wanted to try some new things"? Sonic teased his enemy.
"Enjoy your jokes, Sonic! This will be your last one"! Eggman screamed at him.
"If you say so…" Sonic switched to a battle position, about to take on this old/new enemy.
Eggman made Clockwork charge at Sonic shortly after. Sonic jumped into the sky and landed on the back of the robotic owl. As soon as he landed he started to dash over to the head, Sly told him that the head is Clockworks weak spot. Sonic hominid attack the head which caused the owl to lose some altitude but was quickly fixed by Eggman.
Sonic flipped himself in the air, curled himself into a ball and started to dash into the head again. Eggman noticed the incoming blue blur and slammed him with the use of his wings. Sonic, hurt from the attack, fell back to the street but quickly got up. Eggman grinned in his new cockpit in Clockwork's head while he came close to Sonic who got up, ready to continue the fight.
Meanwhile in Sonic's and Tails's house, Tails, Sly and Bentley were shocked that the chaos emeralds were not there. After some thinking Tails realized that Eggman probably stole them and he is using them to power up Clockwork.
"We got to do something; don't you guys have any back up plan"? Sly asked both the fox and the turtle.
"Well, we first need to find out where he put those emeralds". Bentley said.
Tails thought about it for a moment before coming up with something.
"You said the head is his weak spot, that's probably where Eggman is, which probably means the emeralds are with him in the head".
Bentley thought about it for a moment before coming up with a plan.
"Okay then, Sly, you will get ready with Carmelita's jetpack and wait for my signal to come in and attack. Tails, you and I will go in the tornado and cover aerial support on the fight". Bentley then turned to his binocucom. "Sonic, whatever he does to you, you got to keep him distracted and forget the head for now, focus on his wings because we need to bring him down first. Carmelita, help Sonic out. I remember your shots hurting Clockwork's armor a bit. Shoot at the wings, Sonic, once you will get an opening and a sign from Carmelita attack him"! Bentley told them.
"Got it, Bentley"! Sonic answered before boosting away from an attack.
"No problem". Carmelita also stated hurrying to catch up with the blazing hedgehog.
Bentley then called Knuckles and Murray. "Murray, Knuckles, once they bring him down charge at it with all of your strength"! Bentley said.
"No problem on that". Knuckles replied as he punched a robot.
""The Murray" will punch the living chicken out of this owl"! Murray screamed as he picked one of the robots and threw him at another.
Tails got Bentley into the tornado as Sly was gearing up.
The two came to Knuckles's and Murray's aid with taking down the robots.
Sonic continued to run away from attacks as Carmelita finally found her opportunity to shoot Clockworks wings. The robotic owl got unstable in the air as Sonic jumped up and bounced at his wings. Eggman began to panic as he went down to the ground.
Knuckles and Murray quickly jumped on the chance and started to punch the head endlessly, getting the chaos emeralds as they go.
"You're not bad for such a little guy". Murray told the red echidna.
"And you're in a good shape for a hippo". Knuckles replied. The two really seemed to get along.
Once the last emerald was out of Clockwork's head they both stooped.
"Fools! I still have enough power to finish you all up"! Eggman shouted as he rose up back into the sky.
"Okay, Sly. You're up". Bentley told him.
"On it, Bentley".
Sly came out with a jetpack that belonged to Carmelita and started flying towards Clockwork, intending to finish it alone.
Sonic didn't want to sit this one out though. He stood near the emeralds; they rounded up around him and in a matter of seconds his fur changed from blue to golden yellow and his eyes from green to red.
Super Sonic opened his eyes after the transformation and flew up quickly to catch up with Sly. Bentley, Murray and Carmelita were shocked with how much faster he had got, for Tails and Knuckles however, it was an ordinary thing.
Sly noticed Sonic suddenly by his side.
"You look good in yellow"! He said.
"I actually prefer blue… But whatever, let's crack that owl's skull"! Sonic replied.
The two got in front of Clockwork which caused Eggman to panic.
"You blast his left eye and I'll take the right"? Sonic asked.
"Works for me". Sly answered as he started to blast the left eye of the owl with his rockets as Sonic curled up into a ball and boosted at the right one at the same time.
In a matter of seconds, Clockwork exploded and Eggman in his Egg-Mobile was sent rocketing into the sky.
"I'll be back, you cursed hedgehog! I'll be back"!
"Don't worry, he is always like that". Sonic tolled Sly as they landed back in front of their friends, Sonic returned for his normal form.
After a few tuning to the machine, Tails has opened a portal for the Cooper Gang and Carmelita to go back home.
Sly shacked Sonic's, Tails's and Knucklse's hands as he thanked them one last time for saving him from the desert.
Bentley took some notes from Tails about tuning up the Gang's van at home and Knuckles and Murray also got a few fighting tips from each other.
Carmelita said her goodbyes as well before turning to Sly, being on a verge of almost losing him but gaining him back made her feel something should be done about it.
"So Cooper… Same thing tomorrow night"?
"What do you mean"? Sly asked confused.
"You guys stealing something while I fail to catch you". She answered.
Sly was shocked by how well she took his return to his thieving roots.
"Um sure… It's always fun with you around".
"Great then, it's a date" She winked at Sly which caused him to smile and the others to share confused looks.
The group said one last goodbye to the trio and hoped they will meet again someday.
"You bet on it"! Were Sonic's last words to them.
As the portal closed, Tails turned to his friends.
"So… want to go visit Rayman now"? He asked.
Sonic rolled his eyes at the thought of more action.
"I've done my universe traveling today, Tails. Some other day".
Sonic stretched tired as he felt Knuckles slapping him on the ground hard.
"What was that for"?! He asked.
"I told you I will get you for that prank". Knuckles smirked as Tails giggled.
"Huh Huh then, buddy". Sonic replied before running off to relax from the adventure.
