Ch.3: Unlikely Alliance
Meanwhile, at Sonic's house, the blue hedgehog was just spending the day relaxing on the roof of his house, basking in the sun. tails was in his workshop working on improvements to the X Tornado, and Amy, Cream, and Cheese were having a little picnic in the front lawn.
It was one of those days where no expected to run into any surprises. Well, that peace didn't last long.
The sound of a scream suddenly broke through the joyful solace, making everyone look towards the sky, their eyes widening in surprise as a screaming robot crashed down into the ground.
Hopping up from their activities, everyone gathered at Sonic's house ran up to the injured robot, somewhat surprised to see it was Bokkun. Bokkun's yellow eyes immediately lit up with delight when he saw Sonic.
"Oh yes, yes!" creid Bokkun, immediately clutching Sonic's leg " I found you at last,"
"What's going on?" asked Sonic, shaking the robot off his foot.
"The Doc's in trouble" said Bokkun " our base has been attacked. I fled to get help. I don't even know if the Doctor's alright,"
"Who would want to attack Eggman?" said Tails.
"Several people," said Sonic.
"How do we know that this isn't some sort of trick?" said Amy, accusingly to Bokkun " he probably made up all of that stuff about Eggman just to lure us into a trap, am I right?"
Bokkun whimpered and started to cry, good and loud. Everyone instantly covered their ears from pain.
"Ok, ok" yelled Sonic " we believe you already, now stop with the crying!"
Bokkun instantly stopped, his pleading eyes turning desperately towards Sonic.
"Eh" said Sonic with relief " let's get over there,"
A short ride in the X Tornado later, and Sonic and his friends were entering the gates of the Eggman Empire. Shock meeting their eyes as soon as they landed at the base.
The entire complex had been destroyed! Shredded shards of metal had been flung everywhere. And Decoe and Bocoe...well...it was best not to talk about it.
Lying under a bundle of rubble himself lay the infamous Dr. Eggman, beaten and unconious. No matter how great of enmey they were to each other, Sonic immediately rushed over to help.
Amy, Cream, and Cheese gasped, while Tails steadily checked over the fallen doctor's wounds.
"Is he going to be alright Tails?" asked Sonic.
"I think so" said Tails , looking up " he just needs a few days of rest,"
"Who would do this to him?" asked Sonic, when suddenly he felt a slight stir from the unconious body. Eggman's eyes soon fluttered open, some shock to see who was there.
"Sonic?" whispered Eggman.
"Yeah" said Sonic " Bokkun told us what happened,"
"I thought that there was only one, but there were more" said Eggman " they stole my cannon. They stole my cannon. You have to get it back before they find the emeralds. Before they find...,"
"Knuckles!" Amy suddenly gasped in realization " Oh my gosh, Knuckles is in danger!"
"But from who?" asked Tails.
"There's no time to wonder that now" said Sonic " Girls, you take Eggman and Bokkun back to the house and patch them up. Me and Tails will head up to warn Knuckles,"
And with that said, Sonic and Tails ran off, a new adventure awaiting them just beyond the next rise.
