Bokkun really wished Optimus, Ratchet, and Prowl didn\u2019t bring Amy with them. Still, he needed allies. \u201cNice to finally meet you,\u201d he greeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd you, Bokkun,\u201d returned Optimus. \u201cIf I understand it correctly, you have the means to bring Sonic back?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRight here,\u201d replied Bokkun as he presented Sonic\u2019s Memory Chip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat do you wish in return?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOnly that you restore Sonic as quickly as possible,\u201d answered Bokkun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour optics dart to Amy a lot,\u201d observed Ratchet. \u201cUneasy with her around?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLast time we met,\u201d gulped Bokkun, \u201cit wasn\u2019t on good terms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI still owe you a hammering!\u201d snarled Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSave it,\u201d urged Optimus. He turned back to Bokkun. \u201cWhat about the Emeralds?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have them here,\u201d replied Bokkun as he presented the Emeralds he had. The Autobots then presented theirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll that\u2019s left,\u201d mused Optimus, \u201cis to retrieve the last two from Megatron.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSomehow, I doubt he\u2019s going to make that task easy,\u201d sighed Bokkun. \u201cWith Eggman providing troops and with their technology to make the troops better, Megatron will stop at nothing to get ours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd I doubt they\u2019ll just appear out of thin air,\u201d muttered Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHang on,\u201d called Bokkun as he heard something. \u201cDo you guys hear that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a matter of fact, I do,\u201d replied Optimus. It was metal on stone, with a running rhythm. \u201cWho in the universe\u2026?\u201d asked Optimus before Cyber-Sonic came into view. He tripped when he approached the groups. \u201c\u2026Sonic?\u201d asked Optimus. Cyber-Sonic picked himself up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOptimus, please, help me!\u201d he pleaded as he presented the last two Chaos Emeralds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat in\u2026why?!\u201d Optimus asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI heard the broadcast!\u201d answered Cyber-Sonic. \u201cI looked deep into Eggman\u2019s database! I need help! Please!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Well, this is a start,\u201d mused Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd, with no one around,\u201d cheered Bokkun, \u201cwe can install his memory chip here and now!\u201d At that point, a Ground Bridge opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t ask for one,\u201d gulped Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnything else you want to say?\u201d asked Amy as she glared at Bokkun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot really,\u201d replied Bokkun, feeling foolish for jinxing the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWeapons out,\u201d urged Optimus. Good thing he said that, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Shockwave, Metal Sonic, and Eggman came through the Ground Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Emeralds! Hand them over!\u201d demanded Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCome and get them!\u201d taunted Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI intend to!\u201d replied Megatron. \u201cDecepticons, ATTACK!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDefend Sonic at all costs!\u201d ordered Optimus. The fight was a brutal one! Optimus kept Megatron off of everyone\u2019s backs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCyber-Sonic will fall!\u201d snarled Megatron as he fired on Optimus. \u201cYour failure here will drive everyone to despair!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShoot my aft!\u201d challenged Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m trying to! Hold still!\u201d snarled Megatron as he fired. He was too busy with Optimus that he didn\u2019t see a certain pink, hammer-wielding Hedgehog jump onto his shoulder. He DID feel her boots land on him and hesitated for just a second, all the timing Amy needed. She swung her hammer into his helmet repeatedly, causing an echo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWORD! TO! THE! WISE!\u201d Amy said with every strike. \u201cWEARING! AN! ECHO! CHAMBER! ON! YOUR! HEAD! ISN\u2019T! VERY! SMART!\u201d Megatron then managed to grab Amy and slammed her against the cave wall, still maintaining his grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat! Hurt!\u201d snarled Megatron. \u201cI ought to tear your head off for that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t let that happen!\u201d called a robotic voice. Megatron turned his head to see Cyber-Sonic in a ready stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy should you care?\u201d he asked. \u201cYou are not organic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMaybe,\u201d replied Cyber-Sonic, \u201cor maybe it\u2019s another deception. But, I do know this: my sympathies lie with the Autobots and YOU are not one of them!\u201d He leapt at Megatron\u2019s head but was tackled aside by Metal Sonic. Optimus got Megatron to release Amy and the two continued their battle. Meanwhile, Cyber-Sonic was knocked to the floor of the cave and Metal stood over him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhatever passes for your heart may be in the right place,\u201d taunted Metal as he kicked Cyber-Sonic, \u201cbut you have years to regain before you can ever stand your ground against me! A moment that, sadly, will never come for you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGET OFF OF HIM!\u201d shouted a voice. Bocoe then crashed into Metal and got into a battle with him. Bokkun arrived and showed the memory chip to Cyber-Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAre you\u2026certain I am worthy?\u201d asked Cyber-Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou have no idea,\u201d replied Bokkun. \u201cOpen your head.\u201d Cyber-Sonic complied and a panel slid upwards to reveal a slot for the chip. Bokkun plugged it in and a progress bar appeared in Cyber-Sonic\u2019s eyes. \u201cOf course it\u2019ll take time,\u201d muttered Bokkun, \u201cwhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGET AWAY FROM HIM, TRAITOR!\u201d shouted Eggman as he used a new mech to toss Bokkun aside. He then got the mech to raise its claw, about to bring it on Cyber-Sonic\u2019s head. Then\u2026it happened. Cyber-Sonic moved at an advanced speed from underneath the claw to standing on top. His optics flashed green as a big fat smirk crossed his mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCome on, Egg-breath!\u201d laughed Cyber-Sonic. \u201cStep it up a bit!\u201d The inflection and cocky attitude had proved one thing, a result good for the Autobots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYOU FOOL, EGGMAN!!\u201d roared Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s unfortunate,\u201d mused Shockwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHE\u2019S BACK!\u201d cried Amy. \u201cSONIC\u2019S BACK!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPraise the Primordial Program!\u201d cheered Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYOU BLUE PEST!\u201d shouted Eggman as he slammed his other claw onto the one Sonic WAS standing on. The claws smashed apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re too slow!\u201d taunted Sonic. He spin-dashed the mech and it toppled. \u201cAnd Megatron, I owe you for roboticizing me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI guess,\u201d snarled Megatron, \u201cif you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!\u201d He then got an idea. \u201cYou idiots brought your Emeralds, correct?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026No!\u201d gasped Optimus. \u201cBY PRIMUS, NO!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShockwave told me about her experience of her anger and rage and hatred being poured into the Emeralds,\u201d explained Megatron. \u201cLet\u2019s see what happens when I pour more positive emotions into them. Start recording, Shockwave!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoing so now,\u201d reported Shockwave as she tossed Prowl aside. Then, the Emeralds orbited Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFun isn\u2019t something to consider while trying to bring order,\u201d he taunted, \u201cbut dreams of the end result put a smile on my face!\u201d All of a sudden, his body and armor went golden and his optics blazed a deep red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh\u2026Primus!\u201d breathed Optimus. Megatron then went on the offensive and fired a dozen Chaos Spears. Everyone scattered as Megatron fired again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, THIS is what going mad with power feels like!\u201d laughed Megatron. \u201cOh, PRIMUS, I\u2019m loving this!\u201d He turned to the battered Sonic. \u201cWould you like to choose which limb I sever from you, or shall I surprise you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAre you sure you still want to do this?\u201d quizzed Sonic. \u201cYou\u2019ve got a lot of power now, and I\u2019d hate for you to waste it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re just talking to save your aft!\u201d dismissed Megatron. \u201cWhat sort of fool do you think I am?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDo you really want the answer to that?\u201d asked Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHey, Sonic!\u201d called Optimus. \u201cI\u2019ll take my turn now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve played with me for long enough!\u201d snapped Megatron. \u201cIt\u2019s Sonic\u2019s turn!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBesides,\u201d protested Sonic, \u201cyou\u2019re only jumping in because you see his weakness too!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy\u2026what?\u201d quizzed Megatron, taken aback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not affecting you yet, but it\u2019s about to!\u201d laughed Optimus. Amy caught on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAha!\u201d she realized. \u201cSomeone\u2019s not looking after himself!\u201d Now Megatron was concerned, so he activated a function built into all Cybertronians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDiagnostics. My systems only,\u201d he told his onboard computer. The read-out didn\u2019t please him. \u201cWHAT?! IMPOSSIBLE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour new Super Form is burning through more Energon than your body can give,\u201d confirmed Optimus. \u201cYou should have treated it like it was your first time using your Battle Frame. Speaking of which, Optimus Prime: SUPER MODE!\u201d The trailer appeared and changed to allow Optimus to jump in. Soon, he charged at Megatron and started punching. Megatron kept blocking, waiting for the right moment to strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPrime, there\u2019s only one way to get Megatron back to normal,\u201d called Sonic as the Emeralds orbited him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot again!\u201d protested Optimus. \u201cWe can\u2019t afford another Emerald hunt!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSTOP THAT HEDGEHOG!\u201d shouted Megatron. Starscream rushed at Sonic as his currently metal skin turned gold. Sonic then flew towards the cave roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese things need to be hidden again!\u201d declared Sonic. \u201cChaos Control!\u201d The Emeralds then glowed before leaving the cave and taking the Super Forms with them. As his steel took its familiar grey color, Megatron dropped to his knees, his Energon reserves at a critical low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, well, well,\u201d taunted Optimus as he went back into normal robot mode, \u201cwhat do we have here? Megatron, after another failure!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKeep running that mouth of yours,\u201d snarled Megatron. \u201cIt will be your undoing!\u201d He then raised his Fusion Cannon and aimed it at Sonic! \u201cGOODBYE, RAT!\u201d He fired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNice try!\u201d laughed Sonic as he dodged. The shot hit the cave floor and a blue light came from the crack that got brighter and brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Uh oh!\u201d gulped Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUh oh?\u201d asked Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIronhide described that kind of light vividly!\u201d explained Optimus. Eggman and the Decepticons realized what was going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere was a deep Energon vein!\u201d revealed Shockwave. \u201cThat\u2019s why we didn\u2019t short out so quickly!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd my shot just hit it!\u201d gulped Megatron. \u201cIt\u2019s destabilizing!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s that mean?!\u201d cried Bokkun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIT\u2019S GONNA BLOW!\u201d shouted Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTeletraan,\u201d called Optimus, \u201cwe need a\u2026!\u201d A Ground Bridge opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s ours!\u201d confirmed Ratchet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEveryone, fall back!\u201d ordered Optimus. Another Ground Bridge then opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat one\u2019s ours!\u201d Soundwave called to his team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDecepticons, retreat!\u201d commanded Megatron. Eggman and Metal followed the Cons as Sonic joined the Autobots. Optimus covered his allies\u2019 retreat as Bokkun joined them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis time,\u201d called Optimus, \u201cSonic\u2019s with us!\u201d Megatron glared as both leaders went into their respective Ground Bridges. As they closed, the cave blew up, scattering rock everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHOLY HELL!\u201d swore a RAAT soldier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNothing holy about that place,\u201d remarked Josie, \u201cor what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShould we assume they\u2019re\u2026?\u201d asked another soldier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, they have the technology to get out of that,\u201d argued Josie. \u201cMove out, we\u2019re going home. I\u2019m not risking a fight right now. We\u2019re too small.\u201d The soldiers obeyed and they retreated home, but Josie Beller couldn\u2019t resist looking back and making an oath. \u201cBut, machines, if you think we WON\u2019T meet on the battlefield soon, you\u2019re wrong.
