[Disclaimer:- I wish I owned Sonic The Hedgehog...However, I am glad that Sonic Team own it...Now onto chapter 2!]

Shadow looked to Tails. "This isn't going to be easy" Tails nodded. "Yeah I know. I think I'd better get the Blue Typhoon!" He turned to the door, he looked at both Sonic and Silver. "Okay guys, I need both of you to use those emeralds with Shadow" He looked back to Shadow. "I need the three of you to distract the enemy fleet. From the looks of it, he's wanting to destroy all of us in one go.

Shadow nodded. "Understood. Faker? Silver? Let's get going" Sonic chuckled. "Alrighty Shada" Shadow frowned. "Well, you do call me Faker..." Shadow grumbled. "Fine, I'll call you Sonic...Either way, you two ready?" Sonic and Silver nodded as they began to race out of the workshop with Shadow behind them.

Cosmo raced to Tails' side and walked alongside him. "Tails. This is going to be a very long and difficult fight. Are you sure we're ready for this?" Tails nodded at Cosmo. "We've gotta be, if we have any chance of bringing Eggman down and keeping him down" Cosmo nodded.

Cream opened the door to the workshop as Tails and Cosmo were walking out of it. "Tails?" Tails looked to Cream. "Yes Cream?" Cream pointed to Station Square far behind her. "I've heard the president wants to talk to Sonic" Tails shook his head. "Sonic's gone to create a distraction with Shadow and Silver...Let me handle this"

He glanced to Cosmo. "I'm trusting you to get the Blue Typhoon's engines started?" Cosmo nodded. "You can count on me Tails" Tails smiled. "Thanks Cosmo" Cosmo smiled. "You're welcome"

Tails flicked his twin tails into overdrive as he took off towards the home of the president. "We've only got one shot at this guys! Let's make this happen!" Tails shouted before he get to far away.

Cream looked to Cosmo. "Are we really ready?" Cosmo looked at her. "If Tails thinks we are, then we are" Cream smiled. "Say...Want to come with me on the Typhoon?" Cream tilted her head to the right. "Is that alright?" Cosmo nodded.

"Yes. We're going to need anyone and everyone to face this enemy...I mean...There's far to many machines out there for us to take on...2 hundred or less? Sonic and Shadow can handle them...A fleet of Metarex? Handled by all of us...Now that fleet over there, Eggman's fleet?"

Cream looked to where Cosmo was saying. "That fleet over there has over 4 thousand or more machines. There's no way we can take on that many without..."

Before Cream or Cosmo could say anything a tall looking fox appeared in front of them. "Reinforcements?"

Cosmo and Cream jumped as they looked to the tall fox. "Who the...Who are you?" The fox chuckled. "My name is James...James Prower?" Cosmo smirked. "Tails' Father right?" James nodded. "That's me! Let's get this battle fully underway!"

Cosmo nodded as she raced past James and towards the secret area were the Blue Typhoon was hidden. James blinked in confusion. "Where's she gone?" Cream smiled. "She's gone to get the Blue Typhoon..."

James blinked again in confusion. "Blue Typhoon?" Cream giggled. "Yep, Tails' spaceship he created" James' eyes widened. "Well, I'll be damned...My son certainly is smart" Cream giggled again. "I'll signal my fleet, catch you in a minute!" James pressed a button on his arm, which had a very sopisticated mechanical stip of lights on it. He disappeared as Cream nodded. "We'll need all the help we can get!"

-Sonic, Silver and Shadow-

Shadow looked to Sonic and then to the fleet above them. "I'll handle the first wave!" Silver alongside Sonic nodded as the three of them took off into the sky. "Activate your super-powers!" Sonic shouted as he changed into Super Sonic. Shadow into Super Shadow and finally Silver into Super Silver.

The three of them flew in a very tight formation towards the fleet which Eggman commanded. "Here goes!" Sonic shouted as Shadow ducked down underneath several machines, Sonic flew above them while Silver...Practically flew straight through them. All three of the powerful hedgehog's fired countless waves of energy towards them, blowing more and more of them up.

Shadow flew down, landing on one rather big ship beneath him. He looked up as a machine targeted him. "Hmph" He pulled his arms together. "Target acquired. Firing missiles" The robot sounded as it launched wave upon wave of missiles towards the black hedgehog.

Shadow chuckled as he threw his arms out, creating a Chaos Blast...Within seconds the robot had been destroyed as had the ship beneath him. He jumped into the air, spinning around as he did so. A lot of missiles hit the robot's instead of him...Which he was rather greatful for.

The weather changed in seconds. It changed as thunder, lightning and rain all ruptured the air above them. The clouds turned red as they circled above them. This was a battlefield unlike any other the three hedgehog's had been through before...Yet they all knew their role:-

Create a distraction until Tails got the Blue Typhoon operational.

Silver smirked as around 40 robots targeted him. "This will end it!" Silver flew straight at them, cutting his direction so he shot upwards, leaving a massive wave of energy in his wake, blowing up all 40 robots.

Sonic landed onto the main captial ship that Eggman had. He looked around to see over 300 machines looking at him with red lasers dotted all over him. "Oh you have, got, to be kidding me!" He shouted as another 700 machines appeared from seemingly no-where.

This was going to be a VERY difficult battle to win. This wasn't the end of the armada by a long-shot. In front of Sonic was 1,000 machines with countless more being launched from all the other ships in the battle-zone.

To put it into perspective? There was about 3,000,000 (3 million) ships that Eggman had, had his whole empire make. Some were small, some were big...There was countless number's of machines and turrets all over this fleet.

That wasn't the main problem...It was the fact that these 3 million ships also carried the same amount of machines that this capital ship had so really, they weren't facing the normal odds that they were used to...Not even the Meterex were this vast in numbers:-

There was (about):- 3 billion machine's in front of the three of them...This would be IMPOSSIBLE to win without The Blue Typhoon AND the help of the planet...AND the fleet which Tails' father controlled...Even then the odds would be 3 to 1...Sonic smirked. 'If this is what it comes down to' He jumped out of the way of another couple of blasts of fire. 'Then we'll take on the challenge! We never give up! NEVER!'

As the three hedgehog's continued their onslaught/distraction, a metallic blue machine looking hedgehog stood next to several robots that looked like they were...Experiments at best.

"Target Aquired" The blue machine pointed his finger at Shadow who was still doing his best to create an opening so that Silver could help Sonic. "Commence attack" The Experiments did as they were told. He disappeared and reappeared in front of Super Sonic. "You are mine"

Sonic took a step back and then smirked. "Its been awhile...Metal" Metal Sonic smirked. "It has...Prepare to die...Hedgehog" Sonic sped towards his Metal reflection. "We'll see who destroys who!" Metal chuckled. "Foolish hedgehog!"

Within moments, both Sonic and Metal had engaged each other in a rather...Lethal and dangerous battle...Blood after broken circuit was occuring every single second.

-Station Square-

Tails raced through the streets of Station Square, all of the population of the city looked to the fleet that was heading towards them and then to Tails.

The President and the Mayor were standing on a nearby platform that gave them a very good vantage point, they could tell the battle ahead was not going to be won easily...If at all.

Tails jumped into the air and flew up to where the President and the Mayor were. "Pre-President!" Tails nearly collapsed on the platform but managed to keep his body up. They both turned to him. "Tails! Tell us, how are our odds out there?" Tails looked back to the battle-field. "We are outnumbered...At least 2,000 to 1!"

As Tails finished is sentance the leader of the military turned to the president. "President! We can't just stand here and watch Tails and his friends get killed!" Tails nodded. "I agree! We have reinforcements headed here, in the form of my parent's fleet!"

The President looked confused as Tails looked to the sky. "There!" He pointed to the skies, the population all turned their attention skywards. Within a matter of moments, the entire of Tails' race in their starships all flew through the atmosphere. Each and every ship contained countless guns and weapons.

"Tails' parent's fleet is here!" The military leader shouted. "President?" Said President nodded his head. "Get all of our armies. Tell them to engage Dr Robotnick's armada!"

Tails looked to the military's of the world as each and every plane/ship/missile launched into the air and flew at high speed towards the battle-field. "Tell my race that you're all on our side!" The Mayor nodded.

"Alright Tails, get to your position. We need everyone right?" Tails nodded as he raced off of the platform. "Let's do this!" Tails shouted as he jumped off of the platform and towards the Mystic Ruins where he hoped that Cosmo and Cream were about to take off with the Blue Typhoon.

-Amelia and James' Fleet-

James pressed several buttons on the main capital ship, where himself and Amelia were, so that the communication lines were open. "Everyone in our armada. Do not target the human fleet, I repeat, do not target the human fleet. Aim for the mechanical fleet ahead of us!"

Each and every commander of the fleet acknoloweged his command, pressing forwards to the attack area in their realivant formations. Amelia pressed the communication switch as well.

"As soon as we get into the battle-field, it doesn't matter about where in the field you are! Even if your formation is broken apart, do NOT get back into formation or try to! You will be destroyed before you even know what's hit you!"

Again the fleet acknlowleged the order, and as soon as the armada engaged Eggman's, there was more then just exploding ships and blood alongside machine parts...There was the knowledged that all the people in the fleet knew:- If they tried to escape...They would be killed...If their ship was disabled for another point...They were be killed. This was the only viable option to completely erradicate the fleet ahead of them.

As the main capital ship flew into the battle-zone, James caught sight of Tails' best friend:- Sonic. He was in his Super form, so the fleet may not have not have seen him so he commanded the fleet to not target the life form known as Sonic, Shadow or Silver.

As they were on thier side. There was so many explosions, gun fire, laser fire alongside smog that nearly no-one could see a thing. Not even blood...This was the final battle in a very long war. That was certain.

Sonic looked over to James and Amelia's fleet. "Alright!" Metal Sonic swiped at him again, Sonic dodged underneath Metal sliding past his next swipe, kicking metallic machine over using his foot, picking up said machine in his right hand, blasting him into another part of the ship he was on.

Shadow and Silver landed on the captial ship which Dr. Robotnick was commanding. "Sonic!" Sonic looked over to them, "It looks like Tails' civilisation has got here at last!" Sonic shouted as he ducked underneath another wave of lasers. Silver pressed his hands together as he saw Metal Sonic charging towards the real Sonic with his fist closed. "Leave him to me!"

Silver and Sonic saw Shadow glide near Sonic, his fist also outstreched and closed, collide into Metal's steel hand, both (metal) hedgehog and (real) hedgehog's energies forced Sonic and Silver off of the capital ship.

Super Sonic looked up in a flash. "Shadow!" Super Silver flew into Sonic and knocked them both underneath another wave of energy. "Keep moving! We'll have time to worry about Shadow later!" Sonic nodded. "Alright! Lets go!" Both Sonic and Silver charged towards yet another wave of machines.

Sonic glanced at the capital ship were they left Shadow and Metal Sonic. 'Good luck Shadow...' He thought as he turned his attention back to the ship that himself and Silver were attacking.

Onboard the Doctor's Capital Ship, Shadow The Hedgehog was fighting Metal Sonic in a more forceful way that Sonic had been. For every-move that Metal Sonic made Shadow countered it.

Another punch and Metal got thrown into a missile turret. Shadow flew over to him. "Hmph...You honestly think you can stop me? I am the ultimate life form!" He began to chuckle, but then stopped when Metal came up from the ashes of the turret and smacked into him, knocking the black hedgehog over to the deck of the ship.

"Ultimate Life Form...Targeted" Metal Sonic flew over to Shadow and landed in front of him, as Shadow was desperately trying to not get killed. 'Come on Tails...We need the ship...All of us do...Tails...' He winced. 'Please hurry'

-Mystic Ruins, Blue Typhoon Location-

Tails raced over to Cosmo who had made the ramp slam into the ground so he could get in. "Cosmo!" Tails shouted as he got into the ship, pressing some buttons so the ramp closed. "Have you got the hydrolics up and running?" Cosmo nodded. "Yep! Let's get to the bridge! Cream's got the engine room up and running as well!" Tails looked stunned for a moment. "She knows how to do that?" Cosmo smirked. "Well, yeah, you should give her some credit!"

Tails smirked at this point. "Nice work Cos. Now, let's get this ship in the air!" Tails raced towards the bridge while Cosmo stood there for a moment, shocked. "Did he? Did he just give me a nickname?" She smiled and raced towards the bridge herself. "That's a good sign!" She got onto the bridge while Tails sat down in the main control chair.

"Right then. Cos? Can you get to the gun controls?" Cosmo nodded and raced to the right control panel and sat down in its chair. After a few minutes of Cosmo pressing numerous buttons, she looked to Tails and nodded. "Guns and plasma cannons ready and waiting for your orders Tails!" She looked back to the panel and continued pressing buttons while Tails smiled at her for several minutes and then pressed tons of buttons on his panel.

"Cream? You got the engines running?" Cream's picture appeared on the glass eye piece that Tails had only just put over his right eye. "I have all four engines up and running. Main engine coming online...Now!" Tails smiled as he saw the main engine power on. "Good job Cream!" Cream smiled sheepishly. "Thanks" Tails looked to the landscape ahead of him.

"Ready for take off guys? We have a very fierce battle ahead of us!" Cream and Cosmo nodded. "We are ready! Let's get Eggman!" Tails nodded and pressed the last few buttons to take off.

The Blue Typhoon's engines scourced the land behind it and under it. As it took off into the sky, Tails commanded the ship to arm the first 30 guns. Back when they were facing the Metarex they really needed just the Sonic Power Cannon, but this kind of battle needed not just 1 gun...It needed hundreds.

Tails looked over to the battle-site which was getting worse by the minute. "Turning to face the location of the enemy! All guns primed and armed right?" Cosmo nodded. "Affirmative Captain!" Tails pressed some more dials and buttons. "Engines up to full power! Let's get that son-of-a-bitch!" They both nodded as the starship flew at extremely high speed towards the battlezone.

The only last thought in Tails' head as he saw just how many ships had already gone down:- 'I sure hope we get there in time...I know we have the whole of humanity on our side...I just hope we win...'

There was a resounding voice throughout the whole area. The President heard it, Tails heard it, James heard it...Even Dr. Robotnick heard it.

"There is no-way we are going to lose against you Eggman! NEVER!" They all looked to who had said that...It was none other then Sonic The Hedgehog...Who was glowing not Gold and not Silver...He was glowing...Crimson Red.
