GUN HQ, Meeting Room
Sonic, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Rouge, Omega and the GUN Commander were sitting at a round table, discussing their plan to save Tails.
"Do we really need to discuss about this?" Sonic asked, bored to death. "Because all usually do is storm through Eggman's defenses, take out whatever giant machine he has for us and win."
"But this is different. Eggman has a hostage this time," The Commander said. "Early today, Eggman sent us this message." He presses a button and the recording played.
"Attention GUN, give this message to Sonic for me: Tell him to meet me at Lava Shelter and to bring a Chaos Emerald to me before sunset, tomorrow, or else his little friend will be the first victim to latest weapon! Ho ho ho!" The recording said. "Orbot! How do I turn this thing o-"
"Where does Eggman expect us to find Chaos Emerald in less than 48 hours?" Knuckles asked.
"I think you forget who you're working with," Rouge said, holding a Chaos Emerald up.
"We're not actually going to give him it, are we?" Sonic asked.
"Of course not. That's why we're giving him this fake Emerald," Shadow said, holding it up. "However, back when you did it on the Ark, Eggman found two reading from the same colour Emerald. That's how he knew about the fake. He won't get that this time. The fake is nothing more than glass."
Lava Shelter
Everyone split up into teams. Sonic, Knuckles and Amy were Team Heroes and they were to take the fake Emerald to Eggman while Shadow, Rouge and Omega were Team Dark and they were to clear the path for Team Heroes. Eggman watched from the Roboticizer Room, with Tails still tied up.
"Yes, hedgehog, make your way through my defences," Eggman smiled. "I can't make it too easy for you, after all, thanks to hacking the GUN's security camera, I know you're bringing a fake Emerald!" The door began banging. Sonic came through it.
"What? But my cameras say you're…" Eggman was shock.
"Ha! I'm so fast, your cameras can't keep up!" Sonic laughed. "I ran ahead of everyone else."
"I see," Eggman said, walking to his computer. "Place the Emerald there, slowly, then we'll talk!"
"Oh, this whole thing again?" Sonic said.
"Sonic, don't do it," Tails yelled. Sonic winked at Tails, to show him that he had plan. Sonic placed the fake Emerald on the floor, just as a glass tube trapped him.
"I can't believe you fell for that, again!" Eggman laughed. "Now, the two heroes of Mobius, will become my robotic slaves!" He pressed the button to active the roboticizer's laser on Tails. Tails screamed in pain.
"Tails!" Sonic yelled. He spin dashed into the glass, breaking it and homing attacked the laser.
"What are you doing?" Eggman yelled. "Stop or it'll…" The machine exploded, destroying the whole room. Amy, Knuckles and Team Dark watched from afar.
Remains of the Roboticizer Room
Eggman got up, with his jacket torn.
"Any hope, that finished the Hedgehog…" Eggman said. He saw blue ball jump up from the rubble.
"Game over, Eggman," Sonic laughed. "You're plan failed again! I think it's time to turn yourself in. First, let me find Tails."
"Not so fast, hedgehog!" a robotic voice said. A robotic hand came up from the rubble. Eggman started laughing.
"No, no, no no…" Sonic kept saying. Out of the rubble, came Tails, only, as a robot. His eyes were like Metal Sonic's only purple. His hair were now spikes. Around his neck was a torn cape. His right hand turned into a gun and aimed for Sonic.
"Look alive, Sonic," Eggman laughed. "He's my buddy now!"
"That's what you think," Tails said, grabbing Eggman and aiming his gun at him.
"Sonic must of destroyed the roboticizer before the mind control kicked in," Eggman said.
"Phew, I thought I lost you there, buddy," Sonic said. Tails just looked at him. He threw Eggman at Sonic, which Sonic dodged. "Tails?" Tails fired at Sonic, who kept dodging.
"For years, I've always been second banana," Tails said. "But that changes today." He ran up and grabbed the hedgehog.
"Tails… this isn't you… snap out of it…" Sonic said. Tails walked over to the edge and grabbed Eggman.
"The one you call "Tails," is no more than a childish nickname…" Tails said. "You, aswell as everyone else on this pathetic planet will bow down to Miles!" Tails threw, both, Eggman and Sonic off the edge. They were caught by Shadow and Omega.
Lava Shelter
"Thanks for that, guys," Sonic said.
"Where's Tails?" Shadow asked, as Omega carried Eggman away. Some bullets were shot down on them. Miles flew down.
"You survived? Should have expected as much," Miles said.
"You failed?" Shadow asked.
"Hand over the Chaos Emerald. The real one," Miles said. "Hand the over fake, you will pain dearly…" Sonic handed the over both Emeralds, not sure which one was real. "Wise choice, hedgehog, wise choice. Now get out of here!" Sonic and Shadow ran as Miles started shooting them.
"What has Eggman done to him?" Shadow asked.
"Turned him into a robot," Sonic said. "I homing attacked the laser which was aimed at Tails. I guessing, do that, corrupted his little guy's mind."
"Little guy? Looks who's talking!" Miles laughed, firing a laser. Sonic and Shadow got back to the GUN truck where everyone was waiting.
"Eggman's in the…" Amy started saying.
"Good! Everyone get in now and drive!" Sonic yelled, jumping in. Everyone else jumped in and they drove away as fast as they could.
GUN Truck
"Where's Tails?" Amy asked.
"The one trying to kill us!" Sonic yelled.
"What?" Knuckles yelled.
"I'll explain later," Sonic yelled. Miles stopped chasing them.
"You got lucky, Hedgehog…" he said. "But luck doesn't last forever…"
