Tails came across a room with a huge screen that viewed every part of the headquarters' rooms and the outside of it. There was a long keyboard with different buttons and slots for keys.
"It looks like we're in Eggman's lab. The only question is where is Eggman" Tails inquired looking around the lab. Lisa was checking at one of the shelves that Eggman had by the wall. She found a hammer near the shelve, she picked it up. 'Is this Amy's hammer?' She didn't notice the trap hanging overhead. Tails saw that she was underneath it.
"Lisa look out!" Tails ran to get her out of the way. Lisa was pushed out, but the trap now held Tails.
"Oh man! I'm sorry Tails. I promise I'll get you out. One of these buttons has to let you out of there"
At that moment, there was footsteps and voices coming down the hall.
"Quick! Hid!" Tails told Lisa. Lisa ran to one of the shelves with the hammer. How does she put away this hammer? The hammer in her hands disappeared. Huh? I'll figure out later what just happen. Right now I need to hid. She looked around and saw that there was a corner between the two shelves that provided space for her. She jumped in the space and stayed quiet. The door open, in came Eggman and a olive colored porcupine.
"If it isn't our teeny foxy friend, Tails"
Eggman walked over to his chair next to the big screen.
"Let's watch, how the rest of your friends meet my newest creations, The E-Crushers"
"Knuckles! Where are you?!" Rouge rummage around looking for a red hyper echidna.
"In here! I have found them!" Knuckles shouted from one of the rooms. Rouge entered to the one that she believed that he was in. There he was trying to get the four chaos emeralds from the spot that they rested on. He was about to get them when the container was covered by metal making it hard to know if they were still inside. Suddenly, the lights went out and the doors and windows closed them in the room.
"What is going on?" Knuckles cried in horror, he couldn't see, but Rouge could.
"Don't worry, you have me" She scanned the room and saw a massive object coming towards them. Rouge gave it a tornado kick, but she missed.
"Rouge! What is it?" Knuckles roar out. Rouge tried again and again. Her attacks were ineffective.
"I don't know, but I can't hit it. It's too swift also like a ghost"
"Maybe, I can knock it down. You tell me where to hit and I'll do it" Knuckles insisted
"Ummm…….Hit to your right now!" Knuckles gave it a uppercut. It finally hit the mysterious robot, making it fall down on the ground. The floor tremble as it hit the floor. Rouge hold on Knuckles' hand and guided him to the robot. Luck for Knuckles that it was dark, Rouge wasn't able to see him turn into a darker shade of red. Rouge got close to the robot to see if the damage did any good. She gasped.
"Not one even a dent!" The robot stood up before Knuckles and Rouge, his eyes were all red.
"Let's find a way out, this robot seems indestructible" Rouge suggested.
"I'm with you. I can't even see in the dark"
Rouge grabbed Knuckles and flew up to the top of the ceiling when a pair of powerful metallic claws snatch them. They were put inside a cage and taken to another room like a lab. Knuckles was about to try to deliberate them for the cage by punching the bar walls. When Tails stopped him.
"DON'T!"
"Tails?" Knuckles looked at the cage next to them
"That's not a bright idea look at the bars closely"
Knuckles study them and saw that they were really electric metal bars.
Sonic ran through the hallways checking door after door for any sign of Amy. He made sure that she wasn't there on the other first floors. He was on the fourth floor and he was getting irritated that he hasn't been able to find her. 'How many floors did Eggman build on this place? I should check the next floor perhaps she's there' Sonic got to the fifth floor and examine one of the rooms. There was something in the room like a glass display. He went to investigate what was inside and saw the other four Chaos Emeralds. 'Why didn't Knuckles and Rouge get it?' Sonic frowned as he thought about them and where they could be. He didn't wasted a minute, he rushed over and took them. Putting them in his pocket, the room began to close him in. He sprinted out of the room before the door locked him in. 'Whew! That was close!' That wasn't all, coming in his direction was a E- Crusher. Sonic looked behind him and saw the gigantic robot. 'Just the way I like them' Sonic grinned puckishly. He ran to the back side of the robot dodging his attacks and give it a axe kick on the back. He looked back to see the damage caused.
"Huh?" The robot had a diminutive dent on the back. It continue to walk towards him.
"I'm gonna need full force. Wait a minute! I have the chaos emeralds". He was going to take them out when the robot pounced on him before he could turn into Super Sonic. The Chaos Emeralds were knocked out of his hands and bounced on the far side of the hallway. Sonic looked at the Chaos Emeralds and then at the robot in repulsion. He started to struggle against the robot grip, but non of his efforts worked. The robot did the same thing as it did to Shadow. Sonic pounded on the walls of the container and realized the strange gas coming in. He hold his nose, but the gas still got to him. Feeling fatigue, Sonic fell on the floor of the container and was put out cold.
Groggily he opened one eye and looked where he was now. He notice that he was hanging on the wall grasped by metal cuffs on his ankles and wrists.
"Good now that your awake. Let 's start the whole dramatic part of the end of the plan" It was Eggman, he sitting on his master chair near the big screen where he monitored everything. In that moment, Nick came in with Amy grabbing her from the back with her hands tied together and blindfolded. Amy was tied down on the other side of the wall, the same way Sonic was, except that she wasn't hanging.
"Amy!" Sonic launch forward, but the cuffs kept him stationary. The blindfold was taken off and Amy skim her surroundings and saw her friends trapped.
"NO!" She cringed, the tears from earlier on, found their way back into her eyes. Her vision was blurry because of the tears. She looked across from her and saw her beloved boyfriend hanged up in metal cuffs. Her eyes overflowed with the hot steaming teardrops as they made their way down her face and onto the floor. Nick looked at the two hedgehogs and began to mock them. Eggman started to speak.
"Now that everyone is here. I am glad to announce that Sonic the hedgehog along with his aggravating friends has been finally captured. Our little plan worked, Sonic and his little friends are my prisoners. And you Nick, you have what you always desire for. We all win in the end. Thank you, Nick for noticing Sonic's weak spot. Oh, I almost forgot to mention. Don't you guys like my new creations, the E- Crushers. They take a long time to destroy, but they get the job done. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Eggman was laughing when he was interrupted by an alarm. He went to the huge screen to check what was going on.
"Ahhgggg! That blasted Shadow has escape from his cell. That's it I am going to go down there and take care of it. You guys have a nice chat" Eggman left the lab.
