The Apocalypse 2: Rise of Zephiles [The Original]

Ch. 22

Silver picked up a car and launched it at Zephiles. It collided with one of his wings and he crashed into a tree in the park. Zephiles got back up on his feet and tried to flap his wing but it was crippled. He let out a low growl and folded his wings. He saw the others approaching and got down on all fours. Now he really looked like a lizard. Or at least a crocodile. Jason and the others rushed at Zephiles. Just then a missile struck Zephiles in the head. Everyone stopped and looked up. There were army jets approaching. F-22s to be exact. "Oh, no." said Jason. "It's the army." "What do you mean, "uh, oh"?" Blaze asked. "They probably don't know which one of us are the good guys." "Oh." Blaze said. "So, they'll attack all of us?" "Probably." Jason said. "I've seen movies." "Then let's finish this quickly." A tank had rolled up next to the mall, turret aimed at Jason and Blaze. The tank's hatch opened up and a man emerged halfway. He was dressed in a general's uniform and was holding a walkie-talkie. "Attention!" he said into the walkie-talkie. "Get the cat thing. Protect the civilians." He saw the others in the park. "And don't forget to get the others, especially the giant lizard." "Oh, crap." Jason said. "Run, Blaze." She looked at him and then ran. Jason looked back at Zephiles, who had made eye contact with him. He launched another couple fireballs and Jason dodged them. Blaze threw some fire at Zephiles, as well. Giving him a taste of his own medicine, as it were. Knuckles started punching Zephiles feet. He dodged a couple stomp and tail attacks. The F-22's fired more missiles. One almost hit Blaze. Sonic dodged an attack from a tank. Jason looked around at all the chaos. He saw his friends attacking Zephiles, and the army attacking them and Zephiles. "This is crazy." Jason said to himself. He ran at Zephiles and leaped into the air. About 10 feet to be exact. "HE'S ONE OF THEM!"" the general yelled into his walkie-talkie. He closed the latch and the tank rolled forward. Jason landed on Zephiles' back and swiped his sword, cutting off Zephiles' wings. They fell to the ground with a thud. Zephiles let out a loud roar and grabbed Jason, slamming him into the ground. "Let me go!" Jason yelled. Knuckles ran over and delivered a blow to Zephiles' hand that caused him to release his grip. Jason stood up and backed away. Tails came flying towards him holding a plastic bag. "What's in the bag?" Jason asked when Tails landed. "A few explosives I made from various chemicals and pills." Jason reached in the bag and pulled one out. "Let's see if it works." he said, throwing it. "Jason?" Tails asked. "Yeah?" he asked back. "You're supposed to push the button first." he said, holding one up to show him. Jason took it. "Now you tell me." he said. He pushed the button and threw it at Zephiles. The mini-bomb exploded, hurting Zephiles. He was able to throw the remaining bombs before a tank rolled up to him. The tank fired at Jason but Silver caught the tank shell and threw it at Zephiles. "You wanted to see me?" Wave asked. She found Mephiles in the large room with the pillars. "Yes." Mephiles said. "Zephiles will lose the fight soon and then Jason will be on his way here to try and save you. I just hope you're ready to do your part." "I am." Wave said. "Remember, Wave... you're more important to this plan than you realize." "I got it." she said. "Good. Now I have to prepare for my fight with Jason. When he arrives, try your hardest to stop him once and for all."
