The Count and the Mecha

Eggman stormed through his fortress with his blueprints tightly gripped, he walked into his control room and slammed them down on the table. Two bots approached him, he said," You two get the supplies ready we are ready to build Metal Sonic once again." The two nodded their heads and looked at the blueprints after scanning them they quickly zoomed off. Eggman tugged at his mustache he thought to himself," Let us hope that pesky hedgehog doesn't interfere with my plans."

Sonic ran through the land the wind blowing all around him; he turned into the city and took off for his home. He stopped in front of a manor him and his friends bought including Shadow, he walked in and was greeted by his friends, Knuckles and Tails were sitting down at the time not paying attention.

Sonic was intrigued by this and he decided to find out why. He walked up to them and asked," Hey guys what's up?" Tails pointed at the T.V. and on the screen were to robots wreaking havoc and collecting tons of parts, Sonic smiled and said," Team Sonic it is time to go!"

The two robots gathered up the surrounding titanium and metals, they were going to leave when Sonic and his friends rushed up, Sonic shouted," So you are the robots attacking our city, you don't look that tough!" The lead robot said," E-100 you take the supplies I'll take care of them, no matter what get those back to home base!"

The second robot nodded and took off with the supplies.

Sonic stared at his opponent with confusion he asked," Why did you stay when you will be in pieces in just a moment?" The robot smiled and said," I am designed to perfection you can't hope to defeat me easily!" Sonic said," We will see."

Sonic spin dashed at the robot hitting him directly, the robot flew back but rushed up and threw punches at him, and Sonic was struggling to dodge and was sent flying from a solid punch in the mouth. A trickle of blood ran down the side of his mouth, he took off enveloping the robot in a tornado, Sonic kicked the robot back and forth until it die down, the robot crashed into the ground with a large THUD.

Sparks ran through his broken circuits, Sonic walked up to the robot and said," Listen you, why do you need those supplies, what is Eggman up to?" The robot chucked at how incompetent his foe was he spoke with oil filling his mouth," He is going to build your end Sonic, this time there is no hope for you and your friends." Sonic spin kicked and cracked the robots head, he signaled to the others to head out for and find Eggman's base.

The second robot rushed through the metal beast he was now in and found himself at the control room, Eggman stood smiling at the blue prints and motioned him to step forward, he said," Ah E-100 you are back with the supplies, where is E-10 wasn't he suppose to be with you?"

E-100 looked down with a frown on his face, he said," E-10 stayed behind so you could get your pieces and build Metal Sonic he was your loyalist robots." Eggman nodded his head and walked up to E-100 he said," Well E-100 it's time for a rank up, you are now E-90." E-100 (E-90) was filled with happiness and said," Thank you doctor, here are those supplies you needed."

Eggman took the equipment from E-90, rushing through a door he entered and elevator before it closed he said," E-90 make sure they don't get in until were ready." The robot nodded and took off to his station, Eggman went below his base to a large room, equipment were lined all around as he began work on Metal Sonic.

Sonic was on the wing of the X-Hurricane (the upgrade to the X-Tornado) along with Knuckles with Tails piloting, they flew to the remote island where Eggman was said to be held up. Tails landed his jet like plane to let them off and took off for the tower in the distance.

Knuckles and Sonic ran into the forest, after ten minutes they ran into a bunch of robots, Sonic said," Hey Knuckles lets spin!" Knuckles nodded and grabbed onto Sonic who spun rapidly creating blue and red orb that smashed through the hoard of enemies, but tons more kept coming and Sonic was tired and exhausting all of his energy smashing them, Knuckles let go and bashed them down smashing into them he shouted," Sonic go ahead I will hold them off!"

Sonic ran but turned back in time to see them swarm him, he kept on fighting but Sonic knew he wouldn't hold off for long; he got to the large metal door and rapidly spun into them until a large hole was formed he jumped in and ran straight ahead, headed for anything.

Tails flew through the air tons of enemy fighter were trying to blow him out of the sky as tons of missiles barraged the hull of the ship, luckily it was tougher than most of his ships before so it could withstand, he shout his main canon shooting chaos beams destroying most of the oncoming ship, a few escaped and barraged him with more missiles, he hit more of the controls and blew them out of the sky.

Sonic burst through the control room and found the small robot from earlier manning the system, Sonic said," Alright where is Eggman rustbot?" The robot spun around hit a few buttons, machinery swarmed him and he was manning a large ship like robot, he said," You will pay for destroying my friend!" Sonic was barraged with the same torture as Tails, missiles were flying but he had no space to move, he dodged them pretty much but was hit in the back, he crashed into the ground, being met by a foot and flying to the other side only to be hit with bullets.

He was lying on the ground and turned to face the robot, a beam was charging in its main canon if he didn't do something he would be a goner, before it fired a spiraling ball crashed through his system core, and the machine overloaded causing a meltdown and self-destructing.

Shadow was standing above the robot in the controls and pointed his blaster at him he said," Where is Eggman!" The robot coughed out oil and said," He is gone, and knowing him has finished his little surprised, you won't survive!" Shadow smiled and put his gun away he said," Thanks for the info." He helped Sonic up and they contacted Tails with his wrist communicator, he said," Tails, Eggman isn't here." Tails said," I know you guy's better hurry outside quick!"

They dashed through the halls and burst through the door leading to the sunny field. Tails flew up to them and said," Listen this giant war ship came out of the ground and I barely escaped, Knuckles is still fighting let's get him." They flew to were Knuckles was and saw he was still fighting, he was exhausted and the robots were bashing him around and he was bleeding badly.

Tails said," Knuckles we are coming!" Tails dove down with the plane and headed at him, they were seconds away when a box like shape formed around him, he was instantly gone right as they got there, all of them said," What!" Sonic was agitated he lost one of his friends,

Eggman was going to pay! He shouted," Tails after that war ship. Tails flew up and took off in the direction of the ship. Sonic was looking in front of them and when they burst out of the cloud they were into the blue sky, their faces were jut frozen, a huge ship was floating in front of them it had six major canons like the egg carrier in one wing and in front was the largest mechanical weapon Tails had ever seen.

The ship turned around slowly and Eggman's voice boomed from the speakers place all over the vessel and he said," Hohohoho Hello Sonic meets the Death Fortress my greatest achievement yet! I won't fire upon your friends if you battle my newest creation!" Sonic said," How do you expect me to beat your ship!"

Eggman frowned and you could tell he was annoyed, he said," You idiot not the ship, that's right Metal Sonic is back!" Nothing happens and you can hear Eggman is irritated, he says again," Metal Sonic!" Nothing happens Sonic says," Wow that was sad." Eggman shouts with all his fury," METAL SONIC GET OUT THERE AND FIGHT SONIC!"

A voice booms through the air it says," Fine, but you owe me." A complete scale version of Sonic floats in front of them and Sonic says," Well I have to admit it does look awful like me Egg head, but that won't stop m!" Sonic spin dashes him and sends hi flying, Metal flies back and kicks him in the head Sonic is flung back but throws a punch hitting him square in the mouth, Metal flies back and hits into the ship, he jumps up and charges Sonic and slams him into the X-Hurricane, Tails loses one of his engines and crashes on the main deck of the Death Fortress and crash into one of the turrets, Sonic jumps up and kicks Metal Sonic in the stomach, he spin kicks him and spin dashes him, Metal quickly counters by speed kicking him in the face, Sonic glared at him and rushed at him continuously bashing into him not leaving anytime between them, Metal slams into the metal below and twitches, Sonic turns to the control station and says," That it, that was way too easy."

Tails shouts," Sonic look out!" Sonic turns around and is bashed into the wall, Metal smiles and rapidly kicks him too, he flies in front of the whole ship and a beam forms in his engine, Eggman shouts," No you fool you will break one of my engines!" Too late! The beam shoots out and hits right where they were.
