At the Thorndyke Mansion, a yellow car was waiting outside, along with Wade's black van.
In the living room, Sonic was sitting on the sofa with his hands behind his head. Chris came into the room.
"Hey Sonic, I got you a new cell phone." Chris said as he presented a yellow phone to him. "This is going to make things a lot easier."
"Oh, really?" Sonic said with interest as he took the phone.
"Yeah." Chris said. "Don't you see? Now we'll be able to reach each other right away even when you're out for a run. We can talk anywhere now. No sweat!"
Sonic moaned, seemingly uninterested in the cell phone.
"Now, make sure you leave it on." Chris reminded him before Tails, Amy, Wade, and Vanessa came into the room.
"Hey Chris, it's time to get going." Tails said.
"Huh?" Sonic raised an eyebrow.
"We've been waiting outside for you." Amy spoke up.
"Yeah, and Chrome Dome's getting all cramped up in my van." Wade said. "And I don't know if he can hold out much longer if we keep waiting around!"
"Aw, c'mon, Wade." Vanessa assured him. "It's not that bad. But still, we gotta get going."
"Oops, I forgot!" Chris said with embarrassment.
"Where are you guys going?" Sonic asked.
"Now that we can go out in public, we're heading to Station Square to go shopping." Amy explained. "We've spent weeks hunting down Chaos Emeralds, but now it's time to do some bargain hunting. So I'm gonna shop till I drop! There's no point waiting for you to take me because I don't even know where you are most of the time." then she took notice of the cell phone Sonic was holding, and beamed. "We can stay connected all the time!"
"No thanks!" Sonic said before tossing his cell phone to Amy and ran out of the room.
"Huh?" Amy said in confusion as Sonic ran off.
"Wait, Sonic, what about your cell phone?" Chris shouted after him, prompting Sonic to come back.
"Leave a message for me." Sonic said before he ran off again.
"I guess he wants to be left alone." Tails wondered.
"Why can't he be left alone with me?" Amy pouted.
"Oh, who cares?" Wade said as he hugged Vanessa tighter. "Ness and I can have all the time to ourselves whenever we want."
Vanessa let out a giggle and purr, which made Amy more jealous.
Later...
On the way to the mall, Chris was still wondering something as he sat in next to Ella, who drove the car, while Tails, Amy, Cream and Cheese sat in the back. "I don't understand why Sonic doesn't want me calling him..."
Amy spoke up. "Unfortunately, Sonic is the kind of guy who needs lots of privacy."
"But will we do if there is an emergency?" Chris asked. "Without a phone, we don't have a way to reach him."
"Don't worry Chris. No matter where Sonic is, he has a way of showing up when he has to." Tails assured him with a chuckle.
"And we got a few mutants as backup!" Amy added as she and the others looked to their left to see Wade driving his van. Vanessa sat next to him, while Negasonic and Colossus sat in the back. The others were surprised that Colossus would fit in a car their size. Wade turned to the others in the yellow car and gave them a salute.
Soon…
Ten minutes later, the group got to the mall and exited their vehicles; Colossus got out of Wade's van with no problem at all despite his large size. Wade got out with a green backpack.
As they entered the mall, they saw it was loaded with tons of people and very nice places to view.
"Okay! You guys ready to shop till you drop?" Wade asked the others, who nodded. "Then let's roll! Montage time!"
Everyone split into their groups. Amy, Cream, Cheese, and Ella all went to the clothes section. Amy went in the dressing room with several outfits, trying them on. But taking a good look outside the curtain, she saw everyone giving her strange looks, making her fell really… self conscious.
With Chris and Tails…
Chris and Tails were at a toy store, where they found, to their surprise, action figures of Deadpool in three versions: the first one was of Deadpool wearing only his red pants and black shoes, and with his blades out. The second was of him in the same attire, only this time he wore his black tactical vest. The last one was of him in his red suit.
"How popular is Wade getting these days?" Chris wondered when he set his eyes on something else. To his surprise, there were also action figures of Colossus and Negasonic.
"Huh. Guess he's not the only one with growing popularity." he quipped.
"Hey… Chris?" Tails asked, getting his attention. Chris turned to see all eyes on Tails. "I think they're staring at me…WAH!" He yelled as some kid grabbed one of his tails and dragged him.
"I want this one! Can we buy it, mommy?" The kid asked. His mother pulled him away.
"Oh, I'm very sorry…" the mother apologized to Tails before she ran over to another mother. "That thing's a real deal. I wonder who taught it to talk. A dog trainer?"
"Go up to him and make it say something!" the second mother said to her kid.
"Uhh, sorry Tails. Are you okay?" Chris asked as he picked the fox up.
With the Mutant Quartet…
The four mutants checked out a reatil store with no problem at all. When somebody passes them, they are greeted with a friendly "hello", or even asked for autographs, mainly from Wade.
Wade and Vanessa were checking out the movie, TV show and CD aisle, while Colossus and Negasonic checked out some clothes. The latter saw one in particular; it was a black shirt that had the Deadpool insigna on it.
"Is Wade really this famous?" Colossus asked Negasonic.
"Who cares?" Negasonic said. "We're famous too!"
With Wade and Vanessa, the former checked out some movies and TV series.
"Okay, let's see." Wade said as he picked out a few movies. "13 Going on 30, Meet the Parents, and…" he trailed off when another DVD caught his eye. "Ooh! Enough."
"Enough?" Vanessa asked in surprise. "Don't tell me you're gonna watch another one of those abuse movies, are you?"
"You wanna know why I watch these?" Wade asked her. "I wanna be filled with so much rage, so I can find any of these girl-hating bastards and kick their asses." he let out a sigh. "I remember that one time two weeks ago after we beat Eggman…"
(Flashback)
Jerry Michaels, a 30 year-old man who had a bald head, wore a white t-shirt, green jeans, and black shoes, lounged in his couch while watching some sports and took a swig of his beer, before he heard his doorbell ring.
"It's gotta be her." he groaned before he got off the couch and headed to his door and opened it.
"Oh, I thought you'd never come back…" he trailed off as this wasn't the visitor he was expecting.
"Hello, Jerry." Wade greeted. He wore his black hoodie, red pants and black shoes as he put both his hands in his pockets.
"What… what you want?" Jerry asked as he got nervous.
"I wanna talk to you about something important." Wade said as he entered the house, while Jerry closed the door.
Wade took a look around the house; a bit messy, but tidy nonetheless.
"Ooh! Beer!" he beamed before he took the glass bottle and took a small chug down his mouthless area.
"I just drank that." Jerry pointed out.
"Eh, still fresh." Wade said as he finished and put the bottle on the table. "Anyway, have a seat."
Jerry didn't respond, but sat down on his couch, though Wade just stood.
"Well… what do you wanna talk to me about?" Jerry asked, breaking the silence.
"Oh, nothing too special." Wade said as he looked out the window. "But I just talked to your neighbors about something."
"My… my neighbors?" Jerry asked. "What did they say?"
"It has something to do with your girlfriend, Sandi. Natural beauty I gotta say." Wade answered, until his voice began to lower. "Except something's holding her back."
"Um, what are you saying." Jerry asked as sweat started roling down his face at the sudden change of tone of Wade's voice.
"There's been something she and you have been hiding." Wade said as his voice got darker. "Something that has been going on since you two met."
"What are you saying?" Jerry asked in a nervous tone.
"I'm saying that you two are… engaged!" Wade suddenly beamed with a chuckle. "I'm so happy for you!"
"Oh, thank God." Jerry sighed in relief.
"So, after you two play around with each other, what are you gonna name the baby?" Wade asked. "Bruisy? Slappy?"
Jerry's relief was short-lived when he heard those two names before he stared at Wade with wide eyes.
"Excuse me?" Jerry asked, trying to pretend he didn't hear that.
"You heard me." Wade said in the same dark tone he gave earlier.
Jerry's mouth quivered when it suddenly came to him.
"They told you, didn't they?" he asked in a frightened tone.
"Every word of it." Wade confirmed by narrowing his eyes into a smirk.
"Look, man." Jerry begged, holding his hands up in defense, now scared out of his wits. "I'll make things right with Sandi! I'll find her and I'll apologize to her. I promise!"
"Oh, I don't think she'll be interested in that any time soon." Wade said as he approached Jerry.
"What… what do you mean?" Jerry stammered.
"She found someone else." Wade answered. "Someone who's got more respect for babes like her than you'll ever give, and he'll be better daddy than you."
"Okay, you got me!" Jerry admitted. "Please just take me to the cops!"
"I'm not taking you anywhere." Wade said, before he suddenly swung his fist into Jerry's face, sending him falling off the couch. "I'm gonna teach you to give women some respect."
"Wait, I said I give up already!" Jerry begged as he struggled to get back up, only for Wade to kick him back down.
He quickly grabbed the empty glass bottle and rammed it into Wade's face, causing the bottle to shatter. It had no effect on the merc, as he just cracked his neck in response.
"Let's take this outside!" Wade shouted before grabbing Jerry by the shirt and tossing him out the window, grabbing the attention of a few bystanders.
Jerry tried to get back up, only for Wade to suddenly appear before him in a puff of black smoke before kicking him straight in the face.
"C'mon, c'mon!" Jerry kept begging as he tried to crawl away. "I'll leave! I swear!"
"Quiet, Jerry." Wade calmly said before grabbing him by the shirt and ramming him against the wall. He began to punch his face several times, as the bystanders began cheering for him.
"Kick his ass, Deadpool!" a male bystander shouted.
"You owe a bill here…" Wade said as he finished punching Jerry's face, which was now bloodied and bruised, before delivering an uppercut. "…and your credit is no good."
He kicked Jerry in the side before he straddled him and began punching his face again, until he heard him cry.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Jerry shouted with tears in his eyes. "But I loved her! She was everything to me and I pushed her away!"
Wade prepared to deliver another punch to Jerry's face, only for Jerry to hold his hands up in defense.
"I'm sorry!" he apologized silently. "I won't mess with Sandi again. I'll let her live with the new guy. Just stop, please."
"Okay, I'll stop." Wade calmly said before putting his fist down. "Now, I want you to understand something. You owe your life to Sandi. She's the only reason you're not a huge red clot right now."
"Okay, I promise I won't touch her again." Jerry panted, with tears still in his eyes.
"Good." Wade said. "Oh, and I'm leaving you with a few options: go home, and go back to being the pathetic drunk you are, or get a job and pay your own rent, or go to the cops. Oh, and stay single."
With that, he got up and turned to leave as Jerry struggled to get back up to his feet, only for Wade to suddenly turn back and deliver a kick to his crotch, causing Jerry to fall back to the ground.
He spat in Jerry's face before he finally turned to leave as the bystanders clapped and cheered for him, while Jerry was in a fetal position, sobbing at the humiliation.
(End of flashback)
Wade sighed. "Good times."
"What happened after that?" a female voice from behind him and Vanessa asked.
The mutant couple turned around to see Colossus and Negasonic, who have also heard the story.
"Well, Jerry just went home to heal from his boo-boos." Wade imitating weeping by rubbing his hands against his eyes. "He never came out after that. Word is that he moved out already, and the neighbors moved Sandi's things out."
"What about Sandi?" Colossus asked.
"She's fine." Wade answered. "She's living with her new boyfriend. He's really nice, by the way. I paid them both a visit by my schedule. I even helped them load Sandi's stuff into their house. Oh, and she's now working as a part-time secretary for my Mercs for Hire."
"Mercs for Hire?" Vanessa repeated. "What are they?"
"Don't tell anyone, but they're my bar buddies, and are also fans trained to be vigilantes like me!" Wade whispered.
"How are you able to fund this team of yours?" Colossus asked curiously.
"Hey, I'm rich and popular!" Wade said. "I get everything for free, and I get paid anytime I kill a psycho."
"Speaking of rich, should we catch up with Chris and the others?" Negasonic reminded them.
"Oh! Great idea!" Wade remembered. "Let's just pay for our goodies and we'll sashay out the door."
As the Mutant Quartet got in line, they overheard a trio of teenage girls talking.
"I'm telling you. That fox with the two tails is so adorable!" a teenage girl cooed.
"I just wanna take that rabbit girl with the blue thing home with me!" another girl added.
"And that pink one has a good taste in fashion!" a third girl added.
The Mutant Quartet only knew one thing.
"Paparazzi's got them?" Negasonic asked.
"Definitely a paparazzi." Vanessa said.
"Should we help them?"Colossus asked.
"Nah." Wade declined. "They deserve the credit for helping me take down Francis as well. I bet they're having the time of their lives right now!"
With the other group…
The group was at the food court sitting at the table eating hteir food, while a large crowd turned their attention to them.
As they were eating, Amy addressed the metaphorical elephant in the room.
"Chris?" Amy asked.
"Yeah?" Chris asked.
"This is… very weird." They looked around and sure enough, everyone was just staring at them.
"I'm scared." Cream whispered, hugging Ella.
"Chao, chao!" Cheese cried.
"How come everyone keeps staring?" Tails asked.
"You're all big-time celebrities, ever since you have knocked out Eggman's base." Ella explained.
"But we didn't go after Dr. Eggman to become famous." Amy complained. "Of course if they ask me to appear on TV or magazine covers, I won't turn them down."
"Sorry. Guess it will take a while for people to get used to you guys here." Chris said with confidence.
"I'm not so sure they'll ever get used to having us here." Tails muttered when a bright flash blinded him. More flashes came from other people around them, namely reporters.
"No more photographs!" Ella yelled, getting everyone to pause. Ella looked around ticked,
"Let's try some place else…" Chris suggested.
Ella paid for a VIP room, where the group was accompanied by a waiter.
"Right this way." the waiter said as the group followed him.
As everyone walked in, Amy turned around to see more people waiting in the queue staring at them. She made a face in response.
"Come on, Amy." Chris said to her. She ran over to the group to catch up with them.
During the walk to their seats, Tails heard people mutter things about him, Amy, Cream, and Cheese.
"Oh my, they allow pets in here?" a lady asked.
"Instead of escorting those beasts into our dining room creating siege, they should check them into the cold room with the rest of the furs." One snobby looking lady said. Tails decided to ignore it as they got their menus.
"This is a private club so we won't get hassled." Chris explained… right before people came up to them.
"I saw how brave your friends were on TV! May I ask them for their proffering?" One lady asked.
Another one grabbed Cheese.
"It's adorable! Oh, what a cutie!" she cooed as she squeezed the Chao.
Seemingly every diner in the restaurant approached to Chris' group and began praising them.
"Alright, get your hands off of me! I just want to have some lunch!" Amy shouted.
"Yeah! This is supposed to be a fancy restaurant, not a wrestling ring!" Chris added.
"Ugh, I want to go back home, Chris!" Tails complained.
"Me too!" Cream cried.
Another lady touched Amy's hair.
"Is this your natural color?" she asked.
That's when Amy had enough.
"WILL YOU PLEASE GO AWAY!?" Amy roared out, getting everyone to back off quickly.
Meanwhile…
On the island where Eggman's fortress once stood, a whole construction crew was picking up the remains of the fortress, while a helicopter held a large sheet, which held a piece of the fortress.
"Okay, you guys, just get ready to raise it up." a construction worker as he and his fellow workers helped the helicopter lift the sheet. "That's it, where's the survey team?"
"The power room was there." the planner with tha blueprint said, before he looked down and saw the metal floor underneath the sand.
"Huh? That doesn't appear in the plans." He said as he bent down to touch the floor when it opened suddenly. He jumped back as out came a massive drill with two small drills on the back side. The body was a dark steel, could be mistaken for black, but had red glass on the cockpit, and in it was Eggman.
"That thing… it's huge!" the planner said in shock.
Suddenly, the two small drills popped out and they were revealed to be engines, which lifted the drill into the sky, revealing it to be a large ship.
"When will you half-wits realize that it's useless to try and trip me up because I'm always 10 steps ahead of you?" Eggman asked out of the speakers. "I was expecting your President to order an attack, and so I built this flying fortress. Now I can escape any further attacks and then make a counterattack anytime and anywhere!"
"Dr. Eggman certainly is a strategic genius." Decoe boasted.
"I only wish that some of his strategies work occasionally." Bocoe suggested.
"That's enough from you two." Eggman got their attention. "Cut the chatter and get the ship ready. We've got work to do."
"He certainly is thin skin." Decoe said.
"That is the only place where he is thin." Bocoe added.
"Let's get moving!" Eggman ordered. "Set the ship's course for Station Square!"
The back engine combusts and propels the Egg Fort to accelerate to its destination.
"He's more dangerous than ever!" the construction planner said with worry.
Back in Station Square…
The Mayor was on the phone with the construction planner, and he was worried.
"Well, can you send the air force to intercept this?" he asked through the phone.
"Sir, look!" his assistant said as he looked out the window. The Mayor ran over to the window to see, to his horror, the Egg Fort slowly approaching the city.
Meanwhile…
In a private room, which had two large windows, three chairs and two couches with a table in the middle, Chris, Ella, Tails, Amy, Cream and Cheese sat in their seats, unhappy with today's events.
"What a waste…" Amy said with a sigh. "Our shopping spree was a flaw."
"I'm sure things will get a lot easier once people get used to seeing you around." Chris assured. "The people here have gotten used to mutants ever since Wade came to the city."
"Speaking of Wade, should you call him and the others?" Tails reminded him.
"Oh, yeah!" Chris remembered before taking out his cell phone. He searched for Wade's number, and found it when he saw the Deadpool insigna. He dialed the number and waited for Wade to call.
With the Mutant Quartet…
Wade just finished signing his autograph on a picture of him before handing it to a small boy when his phone went off.
He quickly picked it up. "Hello?"
"Wade, are you and the others still there?" Chris asked through the phone (or in your perspective if you're imagining it, from left side of the split screen).
"Oh, we just signed a couple of autographs, got a few pics, gave handshakes all around." Wade answered as he waved at a few people. "What do you need, kiddo?"
"Wait." Chris said. "You let people take pictures of you, let them ask a few questions, and that didn't bother you?"
"Just because we're the first mutants to walk this city doesn't mean we can't be celebrities." Wade said. "Paparazzi got you down, didn't they?"
"Well, yeah." Chris said. "Anyway, we need you to come meet us at a private room so we can get out of here before we get more photographers in our direction. I'll tell you how you can get there."
"No need. I can get us there in a flash!" Wade said.
"Really? How?" Chris asked with surprise.
"Watch and learn!" Wade said before he suddenly grabbed Chris' side of the split screen and stretched it so he, Vanessa, Colossus, and Negasonic were now in the private room with the others.
"Ta-da!" he shouted.
Vanessa, Colossus and Negasonic looked around in shock and confusion, while Chris, Tails, Amy, Cream, Cheese, and Ella were just plain shocked.
"How… how did you…?!" Chris stammered.
"Don't question greatness!" Wade cut him off.
"…Never mind." Chris said after a few moments of silence, before something caught his eye. He looked out the window and gasped.
"What's wrong Chris?" Tails asked.
"Look!" Chris shouted as he pointed out the window.
The others took notice of the Egg Fort flying above Station Square. Its huge size virtually covered the sun as the citizens look in awe and comment in fear.
"It's Eggman, isn't it?" Chris guessed.
"That's him." Tails confirmed.
"You guys go on ahead!" Wade said as he placed his green backpack on the chair and opened it, revealing his red suit.
"Couldn't you have changed before we left the house?" Chris asked.
"Every superhero's gotta change at a situation like this!" Wade said as he took out the suit. "Go! I'll catch up with you!"
The gang nodded and ran out of the room just as Wade took off his black hoodie, his red tank top, and then his red pants before he slipped into the pants part of the suit, grunting as he tried to slip his arms into the tight sleeves before he turned his attention to the readers.
"This may take a while." he said.
Inside the Egg Fort…
Eggman cackled as Decoe and Bocoe threw confetti into the air. "You losers are about to learn that you can never defeat me!" he boasted. "I'm like a rubber ball; everytime you try to slap me down, I'll just keep bouncing back! Since your government attacked me and destroyed my base, I'm going to destroy your city and rebuild my headquarters right here!"
Suddenly, the Egg Fort deployed robots with a wrecking ball hanging from a crane, connected to two reverse knee joint legs.
They were E-42 Toroles.
They landed on the ground and began to knock buildings over.
Meanwhile…
Chris and the others ran to the parking lot as fast as they could.
"There's nowhere to go." Tails said with worry. "The whole city will be wrecked if this demolition derp keeps up."
"I sure wished Sonic had kept that cell phone." Chris said in the same tone.
"Hey! Maybe we can get out of here." Tails said as he pointed at the car they arrived in.
Which is suddenly flattened by a Torole's wrecking ball before they could reach it.
"Or we can stand our ground and fight." Negasonic suggested as Colossus pounded his steel fists together, while the Toroles began approaching them and a crowd behind them.
As the wrecking ball came down, Chris and the others flinched, while Colossus and Negasonic prepared, before a strong gust of wind blew past them, tearing through the robot.
"Hurry!" Tails shouted as he and the others took their chance and ran to safety as the Torole fell over.
Everyone looked up and saw a yellow streak rip through more of the Toroles before shooting up a building, stopping to form Sonic. His fists were on his hips and had a confident smirk on his face.
The crowd began to cheer at the blue hedgehog's arrival.
"It's Sonic!" Chris shouted.
"See? Didn't I tell you he showed up just in time?" Tails said with a smile.
"Let's play, Sonic. For keeps!" Eggman shouted through the speakers.
"Fine with me, Eggman! Take your best shot!" Sonic taunted.
"Steady, ready, fire!" Eggman hit a red button, firing 5 missiles. Sonic bolted down the building he was standing on, weaving through and around the Toroles, causing the missiles to blow them up.
"I have heard of a sonic boom, but this is ridiculous." Decoe remarked as he watched the Toroles get demolished easily.
Sonic ran back up the building and jumped towards the Egg Fort.
Only making it halfway.
He flailed his arms and legs around to get closer to the ship. When that didn't work, he used his speed to catch up to the ship, but that proved ineffective as well, so he stopped, panted, and shrugged at the camera before he fell down.
"Oh no, he can't reach Eggman's ship!" Amy said with worry.
"We need the X Tornado to help him but it's back home." Tails said.
"And so is the X-Jet." Colossus added.
"We'll never get them in time." Tails said.
Just as they were ready to give up, however, they saw a puff of black smoke appear underneath the falling Sonic.
"Deadpool!" the crowd shouted.
Wade, now fully clad in his red suit, held his arms out and grabbed Sonic before teleporting away and onto the ground safely.
"Thanks, Wade." Sonic sighed in relief.
"Be glad." Deadpool said. "I had to pee once I was done changing, but I didn't have time to wash my hands. So, no hard feelings?"
Sonic only stared at him with a look of disgust.
"Good thing you're wearing gloves." the blue hedgehog quipped after a long moment of silence.
With the others, they sighed in relief. Just then, a large silver car arrived next to them them, and in it was Sam Speed.
"You need a lift?" Sam asked with a smirk.
"Uncle Sam!" Chris shouted with glee before he and the others hopped on to the car, with Tails and Amy in the back and Ella, Cream and Cheese in the front next to Sam when Vanessa stopped and noticed that Colossus and Negasonic weren't coming.
"Aren't you two coming with us?" Vanessa asked them.
"Seriously?" Negasonic asked with a raised eyebrow. "That car can barely fit six people!"
"We'll help Sonic and Deadpool." Colossus said. "You go with the others!"
Vanessa nodded before hopping into the back with Tails and Amy as Sam hit the gas and sped off as fast as he could to get the others to safety.
"I'll get you guys home in a flash. Buckle up for safety!" Sam said as he picked up more speed and made a right turn.
Meanwhile…
Sonic brushed his arms off, when Deadpool noticed something in the sky.
"Uh-oh." Deadpool said as he whipped out his twin pistols. "Buddy, looks like duck season's open again!"
Sonic looked up at the sky and his eyes widened.
There were several small, orange bird-like machines with red eyes that had gatling gun exhaust tips on their wings.
They were E-43 Falcons.
They flew towards their direction as they began firing their gun-implanted wings.
Deadpool, while holding his pistols, whipped out his blades from his wrists and deflected the bullets.
"Better run, blue!" Deadpool said before pointing his pistols at the approaching Falcons. "I got some birds to stuff. Even if it's gotta be metal stuffing!"
Sonic raised an eyebrow at the merc's quip, but shrugged and dashed away.
Deadpool began firing his pistols at the incoming Falcons, some of which shot back with their own guns, while shouting "BANG!" repeatedly.
"It's like playing Duck Hunt, only with robots!" Deadpool quipped with a laugh before continuing to shoot at the Falcons. He continued to shoot a few of them down, while several were able to get him with their own guns, but thanks to the merc's healing factor, he didn't go down. Then…
CLICK
CLICK
CLICK
CLICK
Deadpool's white masked eyes widened when he heard the sound of his pistols clicking.
"Goddammit!" he cursed as he threw his now empty pistols away. "I forgot to count! Thanks a lot, narrator!"
Anyway…
"Don't try to ignore me!"
And don't try to interrupt me because there's some robotic birds coming your way!
"Oh!" Deadpool remembered as he looked back to see the Falcons getting closer. Clenching his fists, he sprouted his blades before spinning his arms around in a propeller-like motion, slashing a few Falcons, but missing several as they flew past him.
Meanwhile, Colossus saw the Falcons coming his way and ran towards them, shrugging off the blasts that bounced off his steel skin before grabbing a pile of debris and threw it at a few of the Falcons, knocking them down and sending them crashing to the ground, though several of them flew towards Colossus.
He swung his strong, steel arm at the Falcons, knocking a few of them down but missing several of them as they flew past him.
Meanwhile, Negasonic saw a few Falcons coming her way, but she stood her ground as a fiery aura surrounded her whole body.
"You turkeys are roast!" Negasonic quipped before she created a blast that blew away the incoming Falcons, causing them to crash into a few buildings. The fiery aura also burned away her trench coat once again, leaving her in her black and yellow uniform.
Meanwhile, Sonic ran across the streets, looking behind to see the Falcons firing at him. He dodged them before making sharp turns in every part of the area, and then hid in an alley, watching as the Falcons flew past the location.
He looked out to see if the coast was clear, but then heard something behind him. He looked back and his eyes widened when he saw the Falcons hovering right behind him before they began firing their guns at him. He quickly dodged them before he ran out of the alley with the Falcons hot on his heels.
In the Egg Fort…
Eggman laughed as he watched his Falcons endlessly chase Sonic.
"My Falcon robots all come with special speed-seeking detectors! Sonic is running to his doom!" he gloated.
Back with Sonic…
The blue hedgehog looked back to see the Falcons catching to him, when he suddenly got an idea.
He lowered his speed so he could get close to one of the Falcons before hopping onto its back. He grabbed it by the neck, causing it to fly upwards towards the Egg Fort, while the other Falcons followed.
Inside the ship, Eggman's evil smirk turned into a look of surprise when he saw Sonic heading towards his ship while riding the Falcon.
"They can't be!" the mad scientist shouted angrily, when Decoe showed up next to him.
"You can blow Sonic out of the sky if you order those Falcons to self-destruct." he informed, which brought back Eggman's evil grin.
"Excellent idea!" Eggman said excitedly before pressing a button.
Meanwhile…
Sonic got closer to the Egg Fort, when the Falcon started beeping. Before he could realize what was about to happen, the Falcon suddenly exploded, along with the pursuing ones.
Sonic shouted as he spun out of control in midair, but he was able to soar towards the ship and grab onto it. He barely clung to the side of the ship with only his finger tips.
He slowly began to slip, which caused his finger tips against the side of the Egg Fort to create a very loud scraping sound, which caused Deadpool, Colossus, Negasonic, and the citizens to cover their ears.
"Argh! How is this ear rape even possible?!" Deadpool gawked as the sound continued from outside the ship.
Inside the Egg Fort…
Eggman, Decoe and Bocoe covered their ears as well as the sound also entered the ship.
"Sonic's a pain to the ears!" Eggman growled. "Stop it! Cut it out!"
Outside…
Sonic grunted as he struggled to get on the ship, but eventually lost his grip and fell from the Egg Fort, only to land on the roof of a building.
"Finish him off!" Eggman shouted as he pressed a button, causing the bottom of the ship to open up, and dozens of floating green machine orbs with small cannons in the middle came out.
They were E-33 Buballs.
Five of them surrounded Sonic and began beeping before they fired yellow lasers at Sonic altogether, but the blue blur ran out of the way in time and jumped off the building, while the Buballs gave chase.
With the others…
Sam drove through the streets of Station Square as quickly as possible.
"Hey, do you think… you can slow down a bit?" Chris asked as he was getting a bit nervous at the increasing speed of Sam's car.
"Are you kidding?" Sam asked with a smirk when suddenly, he and the others saw a few Buballs flying towards them.
Sam swerved his car to avoid the incoming robotic orbs, until one of them hit the back wheel, causing the car to swerve out of control before Sam was able to hit the brakes.
The Buballs hovered outside the vehicle, and prepared to fire their lasers at the team.
Suddenly, Mr. Stewart jumped on top of the car and into the direction of the blast with a hand-held mirror, which deflected the shot right back at one of the Buballs.
Another one fired its laser at Mr. Stewart, only for him to block the laser with his mirror and reflected it towards the other robots, blowing them up.
The same Buball tried once more and fired its laser, only for Mr. Stewart to reflect the laser back at it, finishing it off.
The gang peeked out the window to see their savior.
"Are you all okay?" Mr. Stewart asked.
"Hey, I know you!" Sam said as he got out of his car.
"Yes, we met at the party at Chris' house." Mr. Stewart said.
"Yeah, now I remember!" Sam said when it all came back to him. "I forget things fast but I remember them even faster!"
"And I believe you're Chris' uncle, Mister-"
"'Mister' is what they call my dad." Sam cut him off. "Just call me Sam!"
"Hey!" Amy shouted, breaking the conversation. "Aren't you forgetting we have to get something?"
"The X Tornado!" Tails shouted.
"Yeah, that's right." Sam remembered before pushing Mr. Stewart towards his car. "Let's go!"
"But where are we going?" Mr. Stewart asked.
"Get in!" Sam only answered before pushing him into the front seat with Ella, Cream and Cheese, before hopping in. "Hang on, gang!"
He quickly stepped on the gas pedal, continuing his drive to the mansion.
On the freeway, they sped past a bus, when suddenly, three more Buballs hovered near them.
"Sam, speed it up!" Chris shouted as Mr. Stewart attempted to reach for his mirror, which was in his pocket, but due to the front seats being full, he couldn't.
"I can't reach my mirror!" he grunted as the Buballs began beeping.
"They're gonna fire!" Chris screamed as he covered his eyes.
At that moment, a large craft drove by and knocked the Buballs away, causing them to blow up. It was the X Tornado, which was in the form of a large truck, and inside the pilot's seat was Mr. Tanaka, who looked out the window and smiled.
"Alright!" Chris cheered.
"You've brought the X Tornado!" Tails cheered as well.
Then they noticed another aircraft flying above the X Tornado. To their surprise and joy, it was the X-Jet.
"The X-Jet?" Chris asked with joy. "No way!"
"Wait, who's flying that thing?" Sam asked as he noticed there was no pilot.
"Oh, yeah." Vanessa said. "We forgot to tell you that Colossus added an autopilot!"
"Well, they could've come in a better time!" Tails said with a smile.
Meanwhile…
Deadpool did three back handsprings to avoid the lasers coming from five Buballs before landing on a car.
"So, you guys like lasers, huh?" he asked as his white masked eyes glowed red. "Let's see if you like this laser show!"
At that moment, he fired his optic blast, blowing up all five of the robotic orbs right before they even had a chance to fire their own lasers.
With Colossus, he fell back as a blast from one of the Buballs hit him directly in the chest. Thankfully, his steel skin was unscathed, but his suit was a bit damaged. He quickly grabbed a pile of debris and threw it at two of the Buballs, knocking them down as the last one dodged and headed straight for him.
The chrome mutant merely ducked and grabbed the robotic orb at the last second before holding it down and kicking it into a building.
"Nice shot, Chrome Dome!" Deadpool suddenly appeared next to him. "You should sign up for FIFA sometime."
Colossus smirked at the quip.
With Negasonic, she took cover behind a car as seven Buballs fired their lasers at her. They hovered closer to where she was hiding, only for Negasonic to emerge with another fiery aura, and released another blast, which caused all of the Buballs to fly out of control and crash into several buildings.
Sonic continued to run from four Buballs, jumping from building to building as the robotic orbs fired their lasers at him, when he looked to his right.
"The X Tornado!"
Tails piloted the ship next to the buildings Sonic was running on top of. Sonic also noticed Chris in the seat behind Tails, and in the other cockpit sat Amy.
He jumped off the building as the X Tornado launched a Ring at him. He quickly grabbed it before going into his Spin Dash form and glowed as the Ring's power coarsed through him before the energy blew up the Buballs around him.
He quickly spun towards the X Tornado before landing in front of at as the jet headed towards the Egg Fort.
"Looks like that's the last of them!" Deadpool said as he looked at the damaged Buballs, when they noticed something in the sky.
"The X-Jet!" Negasonic shouted.
They also took notice of Vanessa in the pilot's seat, where she was struggling to land the jet safely to the ground, before she accidentally bumped the end of the X-Jet next to a building, causing a small piece of its wall to crumble.
"Sorry!" she apologized sheepishly.
"Seriously, Colossus?" Deadpool asked him. "Give her some flight lessons!"
Colossus rolled his eyes as the X-Jet successfully landed safely to the ground. The hatch opened, and Vanessa motioned her hand, signaling them to come in. the trio ran inside, and Colossus and Negasonic sat in the pilot's seats, while Deadpool and Vanessa sat in the passenger seats as Colossus lifted the X-Jet off the ground and flew after the X Tornado.
Inside the Egg Fort…
Eggman saw the X Tornado headed towards his ship.
"Get them now! Blast away!" he shouted as the Egg Fort's cannons began firing at the X Tornado and hitting the city below.
Meanwhile…
The Mayor looked outside his window to see the battle continuing, when he noticed the X Tornado flying throught he city.
"It's Sonic!" he shouted as he saw the blue hedgehog riding the top of the jet, which passed through the building as the Egg Fort's cannons shot at it before the Mayor had time to react.
On the X Tornado…
Chris looked out the window to see the damage the buildings were taking.
"We can't fight Eggman here." he warned. "Those buildings will get wrecked."
"Chris is right." Tails agreed. "We have to get Eggman away from the city somehow."
"Right! Leave it to me!" Sonic said. Tails piloted the X Tornado towards the cockpit of the Egg Fort and stopped right in front of it, and Sonic patted his rear end towards Eggman and made a face before the X Tornado flew away.
"Yoo-hoo!"
Eggman suddenly turned to see Deadpool standing on the X-Jet, while doing the same gesture as Sonic did, only this time he stuck his middle fingers at him before Colossus steered the X-Jet away.
Eggman's face turned red at the insult.
"I've had it with those hooligans! That's the last time they'll dis me!" he shouted before turning to Decoe and Bocoe. "Move it! Turn this ship around and go after them!"
"What chance does he have against Sonic?" Decoe asked as he facepalmed.
"I estimate his chance of defeating Sonic at zero." Bocoe remarked with a shrug as the Egg Fort flew after both jets.
Meanwhile…
In the now destroyed building where the Mayor was at, the Mayor was now covered in soot from the impact of the Egg Fort's cannons.
"Could somebody please call housekeeping?" he asked.
With our heroes…
Tails flew the X Tornado out to the open sea, as Colossus piloted the X-Jet next to it, while the Egg Fort followed behind.
"It worked!" Sonic said as he and the others looked back to see the Egg Fort just close behind them before it began to fire its cannons at both jets, which spun out of the range of the blasts.
Inside the Egg Fort…
"Charge up the Blaster Cannon!" Eggman ordered before Decoe and Bocoe put in a new command, and a massive laser fired from the side of the ship.
Colossus saw the incoming laser and steered the X-Jet out of the way. Tails saw it coming as well and steered the X Tornado as the laser fired at the ocean, causing it to create a huge explosion of water which seemingly engulfed the jet.
"Victory!" Eggman cheered.
On the X-Jet…
The mutant quartet watched with worry as the watery explosion engulfed the X Tornado, when suddenly, the ship came out, and there friends were safe.
They sighed in relief, but gasped when they saw something.
"Oh, that's bad." Deadpool deadpanned.
On the X Tornado…
The jet was now releasing smoke from one of its engines as Tails tried to regain control.
"The energy circuit got fried!" he exclaimed. "We're in trouble!"
"What's wrong?" Chris asked.
"In a few seconds, we're going to be dead in the water!" Tails warned.
"Ah! Oh no!" Amy shouted.
Inside the Egg Fort…
Eggman viewed the X Tornado emitting smoke and grinned evilly.
"I won't miss Sonic this time!" he sneered before turning to Decoe and Bocoe. "Get ready for another blast!"
The two robot henchmen run frantically around to get the preparations ready.
"I could use an oil change." Decoe panted.
"He takes care of other robots but who takes care of us?" Bocoe added.
"Get moving!" Eggman suddenly appeared next to them, causing the robot henchmen to jump in surprise.
On the X Tornado…
Sonic was discussing with Tails on what to do.
"So the X Tornado can only fly at full speed for a few more seconds?" he asked.
"Yeah, if we're lucky…" Tails said.
"Okay! Then you should fly full speed at the bridge."
"But that's crazy!" Chris said.
"Trust me! It's our only chance!" Sonic said with a nod. Tails nodded back. Putting everything the X Tornado had left, Tails rocketed towards the bridge of the Egg Fort.
On the X-Jet…
The mutant quartet watched as the X Tornado headed for the Egg Fort, when Deadpool got an idea.
"Hey, guys?" he asked. "Remember when we went to Eggman's island to stop both him and Francis, and I took down that birdy when I told you to follow my lead in the last story in the last chapter?"
"Yes?" Colossus said while raising an eyebrow at "story" and "chapter".
"Why are you telling us this now?" Negasonic asked.
"Oh, you know what I'm talking about!" Deadpool answered.
Colossus and Negasonic looked at him in confusion, until they realized what he meant. They both smirked before Colossus steered the X-Jet towards the Egg Fort.
On the Egg Fort…
"Is the Blaster Cannon ready?" Eggman asked Decoe and Bocoe as they put in the commands for the cannon.
"Almost, doctor." Decoe confirmed, when Bocoe looked out the window.
"It appears we have company." he said as he pointed out the window.
"Oh…" Eggman said when he noticed both the X Tornado and the X-Jet hovering in front of his Egg Fort. "What is this?"
With our heroes…
Sonic stood on the X Tornado without moving a single muscle, while Deadpool stood on the X-Jet, clenching his fists as his blades slowly came out.
Sonic slowly spread his arms out as the X Tornado launched two Rings, which flew into the blue hedgehog's hands. He slowly put his arms in an "X" position as the Rings' energy coursed through him.
"Hang on! Here we go!" Tails warned as he, Chris and Amy braced themselves for what came next.
Then, the X Tornado flew towards the Egg Fort at a high speed as the Rings' energy continued to course through Sonic.
Colossus piloted the X-Jet after the X Tornado, but directed it towards the bottom of the Egg Fort.
In the Egg Fort…
"Blow them away!" Eggman ordered his robot henchmen.
"The cannon is still recharging!" Decoe informed him.
"Huh?!" Eggman gawked as the aura around Sonic brightened until he jumped off of the X Tornado and entered into Super Spin Mode and charged towards the Egg Fort. The cannons attempt to shoot him down but they simply missed him.
"Oh no!" Eggman shouted in horror, while Decoe and Bocoe looked in horror as the glowing blue ball came closer and tore through the cockpit and landed back on the X Tornado.
On the X-Jet…
Colossus dove the X-Jet below the Egg Fort, allowing Deadpool to lay down as his white masked eyes glowed red until he released his optic blast, which tore across the Egg Fort until the X-Jet reached the end of the ship, causing Deadpool to shut down his optic blast.
In the Egg Fort…
The cockpit began to glow in a yellow light as Eggman reacted in horror.
"We have lost our controls, doctor!" Bocoe said.
"We must abandon ship at once!" Decoe shouted.
"Curse you, hedgehog! I'll get you, and your mutant friends too!" Eggman yelled angrily in defeat as the light glowed brighter.
With our heroes…
Both teams watched as the Egg Fort exploded and fell into the ocean with a huge amount of smoke.
"Huh. I guess a good captain always goes down with his ship." Deadpool quipped, causing the others to laugh.
They saw the military's naval fleet, and steered towards the ships. The X Tornado proceeded to land on one of the ships, while the X-Jet landed on another.
With the Mutant Quartet…
The four mutants sighed as they finally managed to take a break after this day's events.
"Y'know, I kinda feel bad that today didn't go well for the others." Deadpool said as he took off his mask, so his mouthless face could feel the breeze. "But I guess the fight made up for it."
"As a matter of fact, I was rather thrilled." Negasonic said with a smile.
"And you led us in battle again." Colossus added. "You could have a chance at being team leader."
"REALLY?!" Deadpool asked with anime-styled wide eyes. "Then as team leader, I declare this team to be named Team X!"
"Team X?" Negasonic asked. "Sounds like a band name."
"You are so strange at times." Colossus remarked.
"I'd prefer chaotic." Vanessa quipped before she and the others chuckled.
With the Sonic Team…
The X Tornado's cockpit opened and Chris got off his seat.
"Great job, Sonic!" he congratulated.
Sonic smirked with his fists on his hips, when Amy ran over to him and hugged him tight.
"My hero!" Amy sighed.
"Well, we've stopped Eggman again, but I'll bet he'll be back." Tails stated as he and the others watched the Egg Fort sink into the ocean.
"Looks like we're gonna be fighting Eggman for a long time." Chris said. "He'll never surrender."
"You're right. Eggman's got plenty of tricks up his sleeve. This battle's only beginning." Tails said confidently.
Sonic had a brave look on his face, while Amy looked with concern as they watched where the Egg Fort had fallen.
In another part of the ship, a government official watched through his binoculars as the Egg Fort sank.
"They just might win." he said with confidence.
A/N: A month since my last upload! I'm still busy thinking of a new chapter for my other crossover story, "The Spider and the Hedgehog". Stay tuned for more chapters and have a nice summer!
