Second Day into the Battle of Earth

Command Bridge, Blue Typhoon

"Someone fined those soldiers," Capt. Miles yelled to the Bridge Crew. "Sir, we are not finding any traces of the teams, but we have reports of shot fire singles but they went blank." Capt. Miles started to lie back in his bridge chair and sighed, "God, dose anyone has the smarts to use NICOLE's suit to track them?" "On it sir," the Comm. Officer replied. She started to run her hands all over her keyboard typing lines of code to link up with NICOLE's A.I core.

Remains of New Mombasa, Earth

NICOLE and Commander Sally were standing around an ODST pod they found. "Any ideal that this pod belonged to anyone or did it just dropped without proper authorization?" NICOLE ran a scan on the pod's serial code to cheek the last drop codes. "According to the UNSC data base, the pod was last used by Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck." The commander let out a big groan and started walking.

They walked for about five city blocks when they could hear gunshots. They took cover behind an abandon NMPD (New Mombasa Police Department) squad car. What they saw that 2nd LT. Blaze and Staff Sergeant Knuckles were fighting back 2 mgalekgolos (hunters) and squads of Minor Jirahanaes (Brutes). Knux's (knuckles) M247 Chain gun was tearing through the light armor of the Minor Jirahanaes, anyone who was stupid enough to get close enough got to meet Blazes flamethrower.

A Phantom Dropship flew in and dropped off another squad. This one had a Jirahanaes Chieftain. Blaze looked up at Knuckles. "How much ammo you have left?" "2034 rounds, how about your fuel supply?" "Low, I will take care of the Chief if you got the Hunters!" "Copy that!"

Knuckles jump of the walkway he was standing on. He landed on a pile of the Jirahanaes that looked like they were used as a dart board. He quickly recovered and then charged toward one of the mgalekgolos. He shoved the barrels of the M247 into the aliens gut. He pulled the trigger and the gun revved up and blasted trough, splitting it into 2 haves.

He turned to the other one just as it swung it shield at him. He ducked and tossed his heavy gun at his arm. The mgalekgolo had loss its balance for a few secants. That gave knux enough time to jump onto its back and rammed the gun down it neck and fired. The bullets basted the hunter apart. He jumped of it with is weapon in hand and said, "That was too easy." He looked over at Blaze who was dancing with the Chief.

She kept trying to torch him but she also had to dodge his Gravity Hammer. During a dodge, she hand tripped over a piece of metal and fell backwards. She was able to put her flamethrower in front of her as the Chief swung his hammer down onto her. The hammer got stuck into the weapon and the brute pulled back the hammer, busting the line connecting to the back pack. Fuel blasted the Jirahanae and he back off to recover.

Blaze saw an opportunity. She took of her left fingerless glove and created a fire ball. She tossed it at the flammable brute. The super heated ball struck him and he ignited like the 4th of July. She then put her glove back on and picked up a discarded MA5C IWIC. She let lose at the reaming Jirahanaes, causing them to retreat. "That's right, run!"

NICOLE and Sally came out from behind the squad car. "Now that's what I like to see from some of my top 'out gun and out matched' fighters." Blaze turned to the commander. "Oh sir, I did not see you there." Knuckles joined the rest of them. "Commander, we thought we were dead." NICOLE pulled back her visor. "How did you two meet up so quickly?"

"Do you want the short or the long version?" "Whichever you think is appropriate." "Then find a seat, because you might get distracted." Knuckles put his chain gun on his back and grabbed a dead Jirahanae to sit on. "Well," he started "me and blaze's pod were on the other side of the drop bay from each other. So when we drop, we dropped at different times. But when the plasma fire kicked up, blazes pod spun out and hit my pod, causing up to hit the ground fast and hard." "But that does not make any science, you crashed into each other, you should have died."

Knuckles took off his helmet, "well, when we crashed, we did not have much room to move. The glass on the pods had broken, causing decompressing. But what had saved our lives was that the metal was hard to bend and the life support was still active." Sally lend forward, "so you're alive because of durable pods and systems." "Yes ma'am."

Suddenly someone came on the radio, "*gun fire in the back ground* Mayday, Mayd (static) is Staff Capt. Sonic broadcast (static) n open channel. (Static) pinned down (static) Kizingo (static) need help..." The radio cut out. "Sonic come back," the commander said over the radio. NICOLE looked at her, "Sally, he is no longer on a channel I can fallow." NICOLE's tracker started to beep

Command Bridge, Blue Typhoon

The Comm. Officer looked up from her keyboard, "Capt. Miles, I got her! I repeat I have found the suit!" Miles hoped from his chair into his wheel chair and rolled over to the LT. "Good job Amy, you found NICOLE, is anyone with her?" She typed a few lines, "I am going to access her video cams." The monitor showed what NICOLE was seeing. On the screen, there were 3 MDODSTs, Blaze, Knuckles, and Sally.

"Good job, now can you get audio?" "I am lucky I even got this far, the fail safe has tried to kick me out 3 tim…" suddenly the ships power failed. "What the hell happen," Miles asked. Emergency lights kicked in.

Knuckles and Blaze Drop Pont, Remains of New Mombasa, Earth

NICOLE started to shut down. "NICOLE, you ok?" The suit kicked into a male voice, "ERROR, A.I connection lost, connecting to main back up. Unit Name now designated as METAL SONIC. Program loaded." "What the hell," sally said. The suit reactivated but with a more metallic voice. "Personality loaded, running diagnostic on unit. Error, program not located checking for IFF systems. Error, chip is missing from head area, checking for weapons of any sort. Weapon has been located, ballistic rifle, burst mode on."

Knuckles pointed his M247 at Metal. "Don't move metal, or I will turn you into scrap." But the robot ignored the staff sergeant. Instead he just started walking away. "Hey I am talking to you!" Still, the robot ignored. Sally picked up a plasma pistol that she found on the ground. "Get ready to recover him when I fire." She pulled the trigger, held it for 4 secants and fire. A green plasma bolt homed into the suit and hit it. "Nice shot sir."

The 3 walked over to the robot and looked at it. Blaze was the first to speak up after 4 minutes, "how did a program that ran on a killer robot built by Dr. Eggman get into a UNSC combat ready A.I controlled suit?" Sally looked at Blaze. "My guess is when Rotor and Bunnie built this from scratch; they must have used a few parts from our friend Metal sonic. But when they did, they forgot to dump his A.I core or reprogram it." "But why did the backup A.I take over?" Sally looked at the ground, "I have no clue how to answer that."

Sonic's drop point, Remains of New Mombasa, Earth

10 minutes earlier

Sonic was hiding behind the remains of a M808B. He pressed his 'transmit' button on his helmet radio as he fired his rifle with one has over the husk. "Mayday, Mayday this is Staff Capt. Sonic broadcasting on an open channel, I'm pinned down at the remains of Kizingo Boulevard need help ASAP, commander do you read? Over." He took his rifle off of the husk and took his hand of the button to reload.

"Capt. is that you?" Sonic quickly parked up. "Sal, is that you?" "Negative, this is Medical Officer Mongoose." Sonic looked around the tanked to check if anyone was moving. When he did, he almost suffered the same faith as tails. "Well you're somebody, get the hell over to my position, do you copy?" Mina responded, "Load and clear, be there in a few minutes. Just keep watch for a runaway NMPD squad car." "Roger that."

Sonic quickly stick his rifle out to blind fire but hot plasma hit the weapon. The barrel melted. Sonic expression quickly turned from worried to Pissed off. "You messed with the wrong Hog today!" He jumped out from behind the tank and landed 3 feet away. A Jirahanae Captain quickly shouted an order. "Kill that demon!"

6 Unggoys swarmed the Staff Capt. Sonic detached his M7S from his right leg. He turned to one that had a Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher (Needler). He grabbed its methane face mask and ripped it off. He then shoved his M7S down the Unggoy's small neck and pulled the trigger. The bullets turned the small alien into Swiss cheese. He then grabbed an undetonated Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade (plasma grenade) off its combat harness.

He pressed an orange button on the grenade and stuck it to another Unggoy. The thing turned around screaming. The grenade detonated and killed it and 2 more. The remaining ran back to the Captain. The Jirahanae grabbed a Type-25 Carbine (brute spikier) off his leg. "It's just me and you demon."

Sonic holstered his M7s and crossed his arms. "You are wrong you big ape. It's me, you, and a crazed Mongoose driving a NMPD Squad car." A car turned a corner onto the road sonic was on. Its sirens was flashing and it was going at least 70. The Jirahanae tried to dive roll but the Squad Car was too fast. The 2 ton metal car hit it head on and smashed into a downed Police D77-TC.

Sonic ran over to the car as Mina busted the door open. "You ok soldier?" "Just some minor bruises and maybe a broken wrist, but I am fine."

Generator Level, Blue Typhoon

Vector opened an access panel to assess the damage. "Vector, report" Miles said over a short wave radio. "Uh, looks like someone has been playing with the wires, maybe sabotage." A piece of pipe fell. Vector pulled his M6G service pistol off his leg. "Sir I will call you back." "Any reason why Vector?" He did not reply, he just shut off his radio. He popped a fresh magazine into the pistol grip. He pulled back the slider and started looking around the room.

He went to the source of the crash and found a rabbit that look like she was in her 20's. She was crying, but Vector recognized her. "Cream, what are you doing here? I thought you were with your mom." She looked up. "Don't hurt me, I only wanted to see Miles but she made me do it." "Who made you do what?"

The sound of someone pumping an M90 came from behind Vector. "Put the gun down or I will kill you." Vector drop the pistol onto the ground and slide it backwards. "Don't hurt him Fiona, please." The shotgun fired at the back of Vectors big head. The blast blew his back skull to pieces, exposing his heads insides. "That was not in the agreement cream, you said not to hurt Miles, not any of the crew mates."

She pumped the shotgun and threw Cream the pistol. "Don't hurt yourself with it." She turned around and started walking. Cream picked up Vector's shortwave radio and stashed it in her dress.

Sally was leading the pack of 4 while Blaze and Knuckles carried the suit. "Damn this thing is heavier than it looks." "Cut the chatter back there." Blaze responded to Knuckles, ignoring Sally's command, "Well, I figure for someone who lift big equipment around the Bays when E-123 (Omega) is in repairs, I figured this would be easy for you." "Well, this piece of equipment weighs like 1 ton."

Sally was pissed now. "Consider Cut the chatter, a standing order until others wise!" Suddenly, Sally noticed 2 MDODST in the road. "Please don't let one of those bodies be Sonics'." She ran over to them. She noticed that they were neither a hedgehog but were weasels. She groaned. "Private Nic, Private Nack, wake the hell up before I do it for you!"

One of them yawned, "Ello commander, how are you doing today?"
