Fire and ice

chapter two : the invasion

The rifle fired a powerful beam, of a purple colour. It hit the ground between the 'hogs, and sent them flying, one hit the wall, the other hit an empty stasis tube. The orange hedgehog was plastered in bright orange blood, he looked over at his fallen brother, and growled. He leaped, and was hit in mid-air by the mace, he clung on. Eggman tried to shake him off, but the hedgehog climbed up the arm. The other hedgehog slowly opened his eyes, and realised he had shards of glass impaled in every part of his body. He winced, but he was not designed to fell pain... he could not feel it if he tried. He pulled them out, the blood freezing instantly. The orange hedgehog was standing on the shoulder, walking over to Eggman, who was panicking. His Eggman symbol had stopped beeping. Eggman franticly pressed some buttons, and it began again. The hedgehog stopped for a second, and then stood, like a zombie, frozen to the spot. Eggman stepped out of the mech, which lowered both him and a zombie hedgehog to the ground. The blue hedgehog was now covered in patches of frozen blood, and walked over to a machine. He pressed a button, and his wounds faded. "Very good work, project firestorm," he looked at the blue hedgehog. "as for you, project kelvin, you need to work on your landings!" he chuckled. "Remember the plan, assault on sonic tomorrow!" Firestorm took a vodka out of the mini fridge, and sipped it, he gave a nod, looking at this intriguing liquid.

Current time, earth, angel island.

After much persuasion, knuckles let tails stay on the island, so long as he assisted on guard duty. Tails was busy tuning knuckles' radio and was still thinking about sonic... did he just forget, or did he hog the glory on purpose... either way was bad, how could sonic forget, so casually... tails sighed. "Done!" He stood up and looked at it. It was a good job. Knuckles could be seen patrolling the emerald. Tails put on a helmet that was next to the radio on the table. It was red and white, and had a visor that covered his eyes. He put it on, and suddenly he was in the cyclone, surrounded by G.U.N soldiers and mechs. His missiles and Vulcan cannon flashed, as he cut them down.

One day later, earth, Eggman's base.

Eggman had finished the repairs on the robots, Metal sonic, Mecha sonic, Metal knuckles, Tails doll and Silver sonic were all sitting in stasis tubes. Eggman was pressing some buttons on his console, and all the tubes opened, revealing their contents, all the robots stepped out, as well as firestorm and kelvin. A few egg pawns rushed out of assorted doors, and stood in formation. Eggman's eggmobile floated in through a door, and Eggman jumped in. "Troops, move out!" he bellowed, and floated outside, followed by his small army. "now troops, we are taking the egg carrier to our destination, it will provide backup shall we need it!" Through the clouds a huge formation of egg ships, flew. "oh yes... we'll also be taking the egg armada" he said with a chuckle. The egg carrier came into sight, and they teleported aboard.

Current time, earth, Station square.

A large shadow passed over station square. No, lots of little shadows. In perfect formation. Sonic looked up, and grinned. "the egg armada!... cool!" Out of his glove he produced a cell phone. He rang tails. "meet me at station square in thirty seconds" he said, then hung up. A few seconds later, a plane could be seen. The tornado. Knuckles was in the passenger seat. Tails flew low, and sonic landed on the wings. They flew toward the fleet. As they got near, the could make out some silhouettes on the top... Eggman, assorted robots... and a two he didn't recognise. They landed. "hey egghead, what's with the paper aeroplanes?" Eggman sneered.

"laugh now, it'll make this more fun!" he pointed at sonic, the metal forms attacked. The first to charge, was metal knux. He charged at knux, claws aimed at his heart. Knux dodged to the side, barely dodging. And delivered a punch that shattered it's head. Mecha sonic, and metal sonic tried a double team, mecha sonic threw metal sonic at sonic, and then charged. Sonic used his reactions to grab metal, swing him around, and threw him at mecha, sending them both off the edge. Tails doll meanwhile was struggling with tails, firing lazers from his jewel. Tails threw a screwdriver at him, that severed his string, he fell to the floor, like a ragdoll. Silver sonic, being not very intelligent tried to take them all on, but was split in half by one of knux' punches. There were only two silhouettes left... hedgehog silhouettes... Sonic sighed. "geez, more fakers!" he ran at them, determination was written all over his blue face...
