Black, Red and Pink
Chapter 39: 06: Plans into action
Previous ChapterThe present
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY?!" Rouge roared in unholy anger towards Shard who was cowering under her gaze and somehow managing to sweat from his robotic body.
"U-Um...that Pinkie was thrown through time and space by a grey version of Shadow...heh heh heh pleasedon'thurtme." He blurted out before Rouge roared like a lion and picked him up, crushed him into a ball and threw him out of the window of her hotel room.
Rouge then quickly changed into her mission suit (her usual clothes) and flew out the window towards Eggman's outpost at supersonic speeds.
"MAMAS COMING BABY!!!"
In Eggman's robotic repair ward
While Tails and Eggman worked on trying to find a way to track Pinkie's location, Omega stood deactivated in a large capsule with multiple mechanical arms working all over his body, repairing his inner workings first before fitting him with a new, stronger armour plating.
"Ok, I think we've got a signal, it's faint, but even if we can determine the approximate moment in time and space we should be able to narrow down her location faster." Tails stated as his fingers typed away in the console he was using while Eggman worked on the blueprints for a device that would allow them to go after Pinkie.
"Be careful not to lock onto a moment ahead of Pinkie, we don't want to risk us missing her, or worse." Eggman warned as he nodded in satisfaction with his plans. "If we're doing this we'll need a chaos emerald, I'll send Mecha and Tails doll to retrieve it while Silver Sonic and Metal gather the materials, we can handle the construction with the help of the Black Arms I have on board."
Just then Shard's head burst through the wall, causing the two geniuses to jump. "Yeah...so uh...Rouge took the news well..." The poor robot managed to say with a nervous chuckle before deactivating.
Before either of the two could react, Rouge burst through the door to the lab with an unholy fire in her eyes, breathing very heavily and looking like she wanted to rip them both to shreds, put them back together then rip them apart again. "You both better have found a way to fix this, or I swear to God I will tear your tails and your moustache off painfully and turn them into a scarf." She spoke with a deep, demonic voice that caused both of them to freeze with fear.
"W-Well, Eggman just finished the basic plans for a device to go to where Pinkie currently is in time and space, we just need to build it, we'll work as fast as we can." Tails assured the raging bat, smiling nervously.
"You will work faster than you can! I don't want anyone to rest until-" Rouge was broken out of her rage when her eyes fell on Omega, who was still being repaired with most of the damage on his armour still visible. "Omega!" She shouted in worry as she flew over to the glass he was behind and placed a hand on it. "What happened to him?"
"We was severally damaged in the battle between the group and a white hedgehog and a cat that were looking for Shadow." Eggman explained as he sent the order for Metal and Silver Sonic to gather the materials for the device. "I'm equipping him with an even stronger armour plating which should help prevent him from taking this sort of damage again."
Rouge remained silent as she watched Eggman's machines repair her teammate, letting the two get back to work.
Hospital
Shadow slowly walked out of the hospital with bandages around his torso and a tube of burn ointment in his hand. "Damn, the hospitals here work fast, what was the bill again?" He asked himself as he pulled out a piece of paper. "Lets see...300 rings for minor burns?! That's almost an entire months worth of rent money, I swear if we weren't loaded I'd be suing this place..." He groaned as he put away the paper and ointment. "Now, what to do about the Pinkie situation, Sally and Amy are already looking for Snively, Tails and Eggman are working on getting Pinkie back...guess I could try to track down this Mephiles character, maybe that cat knows something." He spoke to himself while thinking of what to do, but he was taken away from his thoughts as another familiar voice reached his ears.
"Hey Shadow! Is that you?" Looking over to his right, Shadow spotted Knuckles running towards him.
"Knuckles? What are you doing here?" Shadow asked curiously. "Are you leaving the Master Emerald unguarded again?"
Knuckles came to a screeching halt as he reached the black Hedgehog. "What? Oh no, I got Mighty and Ray looking after the Master Emerald while I'm here, I came here because Tails called me about some emergency, everything ok? What's with the bandages?" He asked, his tone becoming more concerned as he spotted the bandages around Shadow's torso.
"No, everything isn't fine. Pinkie has been thrown through time and space and Snively is back with his own robot army here in Soleanna, the bandages are for some burns I received from fighting a pyro-kinetic cat."
Knuckles just blinked and scratched his head. "Wow...that's...a whole lot of somethings. Anyway, you need my help with anything?"
"Sure, I'm gonna try to track down the guy that took Pinkie from me, but I'm gonna need to question that cat first, you can come along if you want."
Knuckles pounded his fists together and smirked. "Alright, lets go question this kitty then find this creep and beat his ass into the ground."
Shadow nodded and sped off, Knuckles following close behind.
The future
Pinkie jumped out of the way of Metal Pinkie's spindash and blasted her clone point blank with her Party Bazooka, sending both her and her robot copy flying in opposite directions. Silver grabbed Scourge in his power and slammed him into the ground, only for Scourge to dash towards him and hit him with an uppercut. IOTA flew by while shooting at Scourge, who dodged the flying robots fire and knocked it away with a homing attack. Kappa burst out of the ground behind Scourge, revved up his drills and smacked the green Hedgehog away, Scourge screaming in pain as the drills slightly pierced his skin, leaving behind drops of blood.
While Scourge recovered, Lambda helped Silver to his feet before hopping off to assist Pinkie. Silver wiped a drop of blood from his lips and lifted a car with his power. Scourge got to his feet and narrowly escaped being crushed by the ruined vehicle. Silver then picked up multiple broken metal pipes and spun them around violently before shooting them towrads his opponent. Scourge blasted awayat top speed to avoid the attack, returning with a violent spindash that knocked Silver back, but he managed to stay in his feet.
"Well...you're pretty good for a shrimp, guess even in the future...Hedgehog's ain't pushovers." Scourge laughed, ignoring the pain of his wounds. "You got spunk kid, I'll give you that much, but my beef ain't with you, it's that little pink rat. So run along and I won't have to tear you to shreds as well, as much as I really want to."
Silver rolled his eyes and took a fighting stance.
Scourge smirked and punched his fist into his palm. "Alright then." He groped before dashing forward and grabbing Silver by the neck. Scourge sped off towards a leaning skyscraper and ran along the side of it, slamming Silver into it and dragging him through the metal and concrete. Silver clenched his fists and grabbed Scourge again, throwing him off of him and launching him into a building.
Pinkie and MP were locked in a mirror battle, any move Pinkie made was copied perfectly by her robot clone, who stared into her eyes with a soulless glare. The two split apart before revving unp their spindashes and launching into each other. Sparks flew as the two spinballs grinned against each other. Pinkie began to lose ground slowly, being bushed back by MP, only for the robot to be blasted away by Lambda who then unleashed a barrage of bombs and other explosives from its arm cannons as Pinkie got a chance to take a breather and think.
Lambda stopped his barrage and stood at Pinkie's side, waiting for the smoke to clear. When the wind carried the smoke away, they saw that Metal Pinkie was protected by a spinning diamond shaped force field.
"Oh, great, it has Metal Sonic's black shield." Pinkie groaned in annoyance as her metal copy deactivated the shield and let out a metallic growl. 'It may have his black shield and possibly his overdrive attack, but I doubt it has his copy ability or the ability to use chaos control.' She thought as she tapped Lambda's side. The robot nodded and hopped away while tossing bombs to the mecha pony.
Metal Pinkie watched Lambda as it batted the bombs away with it's head. It's eyes started to glow brighter and a large beam blasted out of them. As soon as the beam fired, the world froze in time and Pinkie dashed towards the robot and began to repeatedly kick, punch, shoot and spindash it before jumping over to Lambda and moving him out of the way before her chaos control ran out and all the attacks Pinkie had thrown at MP registered at once. MP let out a pained metallic scream as it collapsed under the excessive damage, a portal opening up under it letting it drop down before disappearing. "Alright, now that the faker is taken care of, you go find IOTA and Kappa while I'll help Silver with Scourge."
Lambda ruffled Pinkie's mane before hopping off to fulfill his task, earning a small giggle from the party pony. Pinkie then teleported to Silver's location, but picked a poor time as she teleported right in front of the white Hedgehog as Scourge charged him with a homing attack, resulting in Pinkie being struck in the side instead.
"Pinkie!" Silver exclaimed in surprise and worry as he grabbed her in his power and set her down on a rooftop.
He floated down to her to check if she was alright, finding she was unconscious. Silver stood still as his anger began to rise. Seeing her emerald stick out of her mane slightly, he grabbed it and felt it's energy flow through him. Turning around he saw Scourge smirking as he stood on top of a rusted crane. "Awww, is the little hero upset that I knocked his little girlfriend out? Well don't you worry none, imma send you both to hell at the same time!" He yelled as he leapt forward and charged them with a homing attack.
Silver growled and gripped the emerald tightly as he jumped towards Scourge. Time seemed to slow down for him as the emerald's energy reached his brain, a technique and two words being planted in his consciousness as his anger tapped into the negative energy of the emerald. As Scourge's attack was about to reach him, he glowed red and yelled out two words.
"CHAOS....BLAST!!!"
Author's Notes:
Update took forever and Silver is able to use more than just chaos control. There's a few chaos abilities other than just blast, spear and control I think, I'm gonna look into those.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed and if you see any mistakes let me know.
