Chapter 4

Things Go Horribly Wrong

Meanwhile Deep In Robotnik's HQ…

Robotnik was looking at the creation that stood there before him. "hmm… what is stopping this machine from working Snivley, we followed Mr Emmerich's plans to the detail."

Snivley looking shyly up to his master "yes sir, indeed sir, would you like me to bring up the plans again sir."

Robotnik was about to answer when a scouter bot came in and spoke to him. His face turned quite red and went over to Snivley quickly grabbing him and looked at him in the face making him yell. "SNIVLEY! I want this machine working now, all I can say is you better not fail me Snivley"

Snivley looking at Robotnik with sweat dripping down his face managed to squeak "what seems to be the trouble sir?"

But before he had time to say anything, alarm warnings went off everywhere in the base. Robotnik looked round and shouted "NOW WHATS HAPPENING SNIVLEY!"

Checking the computer, Robotnik brought up an image on the screen which showed Shadow and Rouge "what are they doing there Snivley, didn't I tell you to put all bots on high alert?"

Chucking him to the floor Robotnik, turned to the main computer screen and ordered "BRING THOSE TWO TO ME BUT KEEP THEM ALIVE"

Meanwhile At Tail's Workshop…

As the days past, Sonic and Otacon looked at his plans and checking the status of the machine. As it was being put together, they went going through the objectives on which he had written down on his clip board which needed to be done. Tails was sat down at his desk, looking over the test data which he was running on his computer so that when they turn on the main machine, they will know exactly what to do so there will be no nasty surprises. As he was doing this, Amy and Cream were in the safe house apartment away from the boys, but not too far and at least they will be safe as it's in the main complex under the ground with them.

Sonic and Otacon walked into the other room with Tails looking at them smiling. "right Tails how we getting on with the test data. I am looking over the machine and as I expect from you it's all going pretty smoothly. Me and Sonic have done some initial test runs on the important systems, and they are green across the board."

Tails saluted the good doctor "yes sir I do try my best, as for the test data we may have to rethink on the housing unit for the emeralds because it looks as if it won't hold them for long. Because as you can see, the glass will start to fracture which will weaken and eventually explode."

Sonic looked at the doctor with a very concerned face "that doesn't sound cool doc"

Otacon's face winced "dam this is the problem Sonic, as this project was scrapped I didn't really go through the entire system they didn't give me time. This may put us back a bit in the whole build race, Tails I need you to get on this as quick as you can. In the meantime if we were to use the housing without the calibrations, how long would you say it may last for before reaching a critical state?"

Tails thought about the answer carefully and then started to punch keys on the keyboard. "well as it would stand with your calculations and calibrations, I would give it a rough estimate of about 3-4 weeks at a push"

The doctor looked at the information that was in front of him on the screen and breathed in a deep breath and exhaled "OK well looks like you have a dead line Tails. I am giving you a month to create the new housing, because if you don't there won't be time for us to win this battle"

Tails looked at him with a worried look in his face "Otacon I don't think that I can have it ready in time"

Sonic decided to stand in for his baby brother "yeah doc cutting it pretty fine aren't we!?"

Otacon cut them short "Sonic, if I didn't think that Tails would be able to do it then I wouldn't be giving him this challenge? Now remember how he used to be in the great war, grow some balls quit you whining Tails and get on with it seriously I have faith in you mate"

Tails now with a determined look on his face nodded to Otacon "yes sir I won't let you down doctor"

Sonic smiled "ALRIGHT! You go little bro"

Otacon was now looking at them with grin on the side of his face "good lad, that's what I want to see from you Tails keep it up son I am trusting you now"

As Otacon was starting to walk away suddenly there was a thudding noise from up above. Next the alarms at the console started to kick off Tails quickly ran over to the desk and his eyes widen then shouted "SHIT SONIC, DOCTOR WE HAVE COMPANY"

Amy and Cream ran into the room Amy ran to Sonic "Sonikku what's happening"

Sonic looked concerned "if I didn't think any better, I would say this is Robotnik's Work

Cream went to Tails as quickly as she could "Tails hunny what is going on?"

Otacon next came running up, as they saw the picture come into focus on top side he knew what was going to happen. "shit its Robotnik, and I know full well what he want as well"

He turned and looked at the others and they looked straight back at him

Sonic shook his head "don't you even think about it Otacon. We can't afford to give you up without you we won't be able to finish the machine"

Tails decided to pipe up "besides there is no way he will be able to get down here it's almost impregnable"

As Tails said this the screen automatically came up with Robotnik looking into the screen "hello my fellow citizens, I Dr Robotnik call upon the great Dr Otacon Emmerich to show himself to me for I have a proposition. Either you come to me and give yourself up peacefully, or be prepared to witness Shadow and Rouge being blown off the face of the earth... you have 1 hour to reply"

All the team looked at each other, Cream and Amy we near to tears Sonic was the first to speak "SHIT OK we need a plan and we need one quick. We have only one hour to sort something out."

He looked at Tails "how many emeralds do we have little bud?"

Thinking for a split second Tails spoke "we have 4 of them so far Sonic, why what are you thinking?" with an interested look on his face

Sonic smiled "I just hope it will be enough, what I suggest is this. Tails I know that four of the emeralds isn't going to power up the cannon to the point where we can make much damage. But if we can get it to the point of a distraction, then maybe we could take fat man by surprise and grab Shad and Rouge hopefully whilst at it."

Tails looked at Otacon "doctor do you think that maybe you could see if there would be anyway to increase the power of the cannon, so that it may have a bigger punch?"

Otacon looked at Tails and adjusted his glasses "well we're push for time Tails, but as always we have to give it a shot we need all the help we can get"

Sonic nodded at Otacon "right Otacon start working on that with Tails and get back to me asap when you have an idea what it can do. In the mean time, I need you two girls to stay safe. Amy I want you by my side to help me, but if it gets too hot then it would be best for you to find cover and let me deal with things. Cream do not leave Tails sight, don't want any more foul ups then there needs to be."

Everyone agreed and went off to prepare and to put the plan into motion. Amy went up to sonic and he put his strong arms around her like a shield protecting her "Sonikku I promise I won't let you down I love you and will do anything to protect you"

Sonic looked into Amy's eyes "Amy my love, I know you will just be careful. Remember if you find yourself pinned down or in trouble, find cover and wait there until I am there to join you we will do this together."

With these words Sonic and Amy embrace into a deep passionate kiss, the two clashing their tongues together. Which sent undescribable feelings throughout each others bodies, for the love they had for each other was so strong that even death itself could not get in between them. In the midst of this scene, Otacon came up and gave a little cough sonic lifted up his hand and held one finger up at him to signal one minute. With this Sonic and Amy broke the kiss, Sonic caressed Amy's face with his hand whilst looking in each others eyes.

Then Sonic turned his head to Otacon "what's the situation on the cannon then my dear doctor? I hope it's good" looking at him with a sly grin

Otacon took a deep breath "OK well the good news is that I can increase the power of the cannon by 30 percent. The down side is that I will have to lower the range to do so, if not then we could have a premature overload in the core mechanism which would not be good."

Sonic thought for while "yeah that's fine proceed with the upgrades Otacon. Just need to bring them in closer which could be a problem, but all we need is bait hmm…"

Sonic turned to Tails and smiled "oh Sonic no please, I only just gave the X-tornado a lick of paint last week. Mind you could give me a chance to test out something which I have been working on."

Sonic is now looking at Tails intrigued by this statement "you never cease to amaze me little buddy, but please continue"

Tails chuckles "well you know me Sonic always trying to find out ways to better the team. To put it plainly it's a cannon, which I have mounted onto the middle of the plane. It's to aid you Sonic, you can get into it and I can fire you out so that you can fly into an area from a safe distance."

Sonic suddenly looking quite shocked "yep wasn't seeing that one coming, and its defiantly something wacky. As long as you can assure me that it's safe, then I am all for it"

Meanwhile Back with Robotnik…

Shadow and Rouge were in lock down, a room with nothing in there at all except 1 camera on each wall. Rouge for the first time in her life was scared, but tried her best not to show it. As for Shadow he was cool, calm and collected for he knew that the team were going to find a way to set them free. He looked at his communicator to see the time, the hour was fast approaching 15 minutes left to be precise.

Shadow even though he was built to not care for feelings, knew deep down that he did and his heart wanted to belong with Rouge. But he didn't know what to do about it, as they sat there he was the first to talk. "Rouge I just want to say something, don't worry about what may happen here. Just remember that as long as I am still breathing I will be by your side and to protect you."

Rouge now surprised at this sensitive side of Shadow which she has not seen before, quickly composed herself and replied "thank you Shadow, that means a lot to me. But you know I can kick ass as much as you, besides I am not that worried. I know the team will be here."

Shadow now smiling which is something very rare indeed "you don't have to hide your fear, sometimes it's good to feel scared. For some reason makes you fight harder and stronger."

With this Rouge walked over to Shadow, and gently put her arms around him. For a moment poor old Shadow didn't know where to put himself, but gradually he put his arm round her waist. She held him close and rubbed her cheek against his, Shadow suddenly felt a feeling that totally liberated him.

As they leaned away from the hug, Rouge was the first to break the silent. "Shadow do you think we will make it out this time. Because I never want to leave your side."

Shadow now drunk with this feeling, his eye lids half-mast replied. "as I said Rouge, as long as I am still alive and breathing I will protect you. We will get out of here I promise."

Suddenly they both were looking in each others eyes, and both felt themselves lean into a kiss. But at the last minute there was a huge thud and alarm's going off left, right and centre. They both looked round, and then looked back at each other. "to be continued" Rouge remarked which made Shadow give a little blush

Meanwhile in the control room, Robotnik was barking out orders and shouting at his swatbots. "WHERE THE FUCK DID THAT BLAST COME FROM!"

Snivley looked at the monitor. "it seemed to have come from the west sir, about 5 miles away. It has taken out one of our monitor's sir"

Robotnik pointed at him "switch to the nearest camera then you idiot, in the meantime bring up the image before it got taken out. I want to know what caused this to happen"

Snivley looked at the doctor, his head drenched with sweat "yes sir right away sir, it seems we do have something sir but can't identify"

Robotnik walked up to the console "punch it up on the main screen Snivley"

As the picture came into focus, all was to see was a bluish blur ball going straight for the camera. At this point Robotnik looked like he was about to blow a major blood vessel "SNIVLEY I WANT ALL BOTS ON THAT TARGET AND TO DESTROY THAT BLUE PIECE OF SHIT AND I WANT MORE SECURITY AROUND THE EMERALD MACHINE"

Meanwhile 5 Miles Out…

Sonic made a quick exit and jumped into Amy's arms on the tornado, and gave the thumbs up to Tails. As they flew into the distance Sonic shouted to Tails "do you think that's done it? Have you got anything following us on the radar?"

As Tails looked on suddenly 5 little blobs came up like fireflies "yeah Sonic that's done it alright. We are being followed just as planned"

Sonic nodded "sweet now we have got our distraction time for the main event"

Just as he said his sentence Knuckles turns up "hey Sonic where was my invite you little bugger"

Sonic shook his head "whoa Knuckles sorry bud, things happened so fast I forgot to call you. Don't worrie though cause your just in time for the party, I need you to ruffle eggheads feathers so that he comes out himself. We have Tails Cannon powered and set up, but we need to bring them in closer. Take care of Shadow and Rouge for us, they are somewhere in the complex. You just need to find them, the rest of us will keep the heat off your back you just need to do those two objectives. Amy you can tag along with him for some extra back up also make sure Knucklehead doesn't get lost"

As Knuckles was flying next to the tornado, he acknowledge every word and nodded to show Sonic he understood. "what do you mean I might get lost cheeky shit, OK well take care Sonic and I will see you back home."

Amy looked at Sonic, with concern and hurt in her eyes "Don't worrie Ames, we will be together soon I promise I will come back to you. It will all be over in a few hours trust me I love you"

Amy hugged Sonic and gave him a passionate kiss "I love you to Sonikku, you better come back to me"

Sonic nodded and looked at Knuckles "look after to her dude,stay safe and get Shadow and Rouge back to us"

With this they both parted ways, as Knuckles and Amy approached the base there was a lot of defense's. But he dodged and ducked his way through keeping Amy covered until they were in the clear. As they landed Amy looked round to see if they were followed in any way, after she was satisfied the nodded her head at Knuckles.

Amy then turned to her communicator on her wrist, and looked at the radar to see if there were any signals in range. Luckily she managed to pick them up "Knuckles follow me, I have a strong signal coming from over there"

Knuckles nodded "easy Amy let's try to keep a low profile" as they charged on carefully following the signal.

As this was going on, Robotnik's attack bots were slowly catching up on Sonic and Tails. Cream was trying not to panic, as Tails had her sat in front of him. He put an arm round her, as to try and calm her down a bit.

Sonic was getting a concerned look on his face "GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT TAILS BUDDY"

Tails looked at Sonic with concern in his face "DAM SONIC I HAVE HER AT FULL POWER SHE WONT GO ANY FASTER"

Sonic looked at the console, to see how far they needed to go within range of the cannon. "TRY TO INCREASE THE POWER, JUST ANOTHER MILE OR SO AND WE WILL BE IN RANGE OF THE CANNON"

Otacon back at base was desperately trying to get in contact with Sonic, To find out what was going on. Suddenly Sonic's voice crackled through the speakers. "Otacon this is Sonic, lock on to multiple targets and fire at my command it's getting a bit hot out here"

Otacon quickly grabbed the microphone "Roger that Sonic locking on targets now"

The doctor went to the main console of the weapon, and in seconds locked on to the targets. As the weapon heated up, Otacon went back to the microphone. "The weapon is hot Sonic, waiting for the command to fire"

Sonic looked around him and took a deep breath "FIRE"

Otacon slammed the trigger button, all of a sudden an almighty blast came from the cannon. Sonic saw this and tapped on the window of the plane, to let Tails know so that he could quickly take some evasive action.

As it passed the X tornado, the three in the plain stared in awe at the power of the blast. The fact if the power of four emeralds could do that, think about what all seven could do. Just thinking about it was blowing their minds, the shot took out all bots in one hit. Making the way safe for Tails to land.

Robotnik observed this on the screen, and was getting a bit restless. As he saw all five disintegrated in one hit. "bumbling idiot's, looks like if they can't do the job properly do it yourself"

He quickly jumped into his one man carrier, and shot off to sort thing out his way. To destroy what he could in the processes.

As he did so, Knuckles and Amy saw this which made Knuckles smile. "sweet alright Sonic the plan is going perfectly, now we just need to bust out Shadow and Rouge"

Amy nodded "if this thing is reading right, then they are just behind this wall here." said Amy pointing to it

Knuckles smiled "stand back Miss Rose, don't want you getting hurt. Heads up you two, if you can hear me its Knuckles step away from the wall. Its going to get messy."

Shadow shouted back "took you bloody time, we were getting a bit board being locked up in here."

Knuckles smiling took a step back, and put all might into the wall. After a few hits, it all came crumbling down and there in front of them were the hedgehog and the bat looking fairly relived.

The four looked at each other and Shadow smiled "I think we have spent long enough in this hell whole don't you agree? if we are quick, then we can cut egg for brains off and kick him into touch"

With that they all nodded and Shadow grabbed them all and chaos controlled them back to base

As the four arrived back, Amy went for Sonic straight away. He held his arms out to her. "I told you I would be back for you didn't I, I never break a promise"

Shadow went up to Sonic "after Knuckles and Amy broke me and Rouge out, we saw robuttink shooting off toward our base. If we can find out how far away he is and if we have enough power in the emeralds for one more hit. Then we could ambush him and send him flying"

Sonic liking the idea turned to Otacon "well doc how much power do we have?

Tails already sitting down at the console, gave the thumbs up as to say yeah we have enough. Otacon smiled and looked at Sonic "the cannon is a go Sonic, and looking at the radar he will be in range in about 5 minutes"

Sonic nodded "sweet doc, you know what to do. As soon as he is in range, just let the ass hole have it"

As Robotnik approached the area, he laughed to himself unaware that they had enough power for one more shot from their cannon. Not only the fact, that the Sonic team managed to successfully free Shadow and Rouge. "yes they won't know what's hit them, surely they spent all that power from the first blast of the cannon. So they will be totally defenceless"

But little did he know that when he uttered these words, The cannon was warming up for a second shot. Sonic looked at Otacon waiting for the command. "not quite there yet Sonic, just a little closer NOW!"

Sonic slammed the trigger, and the cannon made the almighty blast. Which shot off in the direction of the egg man, as he was going merrily along suddenly warning alarms and lock on systems went off.

He didn't have time for any evasive action "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT"

The blast hit him head on which sent him flying off high in the atmosphere "I HATE THAT FUCKING HEDGEHOG I WILL GET MY REVENGE AHHHH!"
