"Eggman?!"

The said man smirked at their confusion before continuing, "I have to say, I'm a bit hurt that you didn't invite your once accomplice, Shadow." Eggman put a hand over his heart and mocked a hurt expression. Shadow growled in response and was about to snap a remark back at him but was silenced when Sonic spoke up first.

"What do you want Egghead? We're kind of busy here." Sonic's usual grin had been replaced with an annoyed frown. Seeing Eggman wasn't a rare occurrence when on Mobius, but he didn't expect to see him in Vertrose and much less on his wedding day.

"Well then, I guess you'll be quite busy with this!" Eggman smashed his hand down on a remote controller and instantly all the windows shattered and doors flew open. Eggman's signature robots burst in from all directions, causing the audience to shriek in fear. Queen Adella immediately stood up from her chair on the upper balcony and started shouting inaudible orders at the nearby guards. Soldiers began attacking the robots, only doing minimal damage, while others began evacuating the spectators.

Sonic sighed heavily as he glanced around at the chaos. Any other day he wouldn't have minded kicking Eggman's ass but today was an important day to him and he didn't have time to deal with him. Sonic briefly wondered where his friends were but he knew they would be OK on their own.

"You take the doctor and I'll finish off the rest of the robots," Shadow said from Sonic's side. Sonic nodded once and took off to the right while Shadow took off to the left. By now Eggman had gotten on his famous egg mobile and was hovering nearby conducting his metal army. Sonic jumped across the tops of the robots—destroying them as he went—to get up to Eggman. Sonic pushed off hard on his last jump, aiming to destroy Eggman's egg mobile, only to be grabbed out of the air by the cape he had still been wearing.

Half-choking Sonic fell back and was grabbed roughly by one of the robots. Ugh, why didn't I take it off? Sonic attempted to spin his body into a ball to loosen the hold on him but it only caused to robot to grip tighter into a bruising grip. Just as he was getting frustrated the robot exploded and he fell to the ground. Sonic quickly unlatched the cape from his shoulders and threw in somewhere into the chaos of the battle. He glanced around to see what had happened and his eyes met Shadows.

"You seriously tried to fight with that on?" Shadow said. Sonic noticed that Shadow had long since discarded his own cape.

"I forgot to take it off, but hey, I almost made it work," Sonic said as he shot a quick smile at the black hedgehog before taking off toward Eggman again. Sonic zig zagged in-between the robots, stopping only when he reached Eggman. He was about to attack him when Eggman's voice stopped him.

"Sonic, so glad you could finally make it. You see, I have a little friend of mine that would love to play with you," Eggman gave an evil smirk at that last statement. Using the remote controller Eggman steered in a robot he had been holding onto just for his little blue friend. The robot itself was about a hundred feet tall and it's head was threatening to hit the ceiling.

Sonic looked up at the giant robot and had to admit he was a little impressed. Granted, it wasn't the biggest robot he had seen Eggman make but it looked to have had a lot of time put into it. Sonic looked around him to make sure all the spectators had been evacuated by now before looking up at Eggman.

"Bring it on Egghead!"


-BOOM-

Yet another robot exploded after Shadow had shot it with one of his chaos spears. He had already destroyed countless robots but it looked like none had been destroyed at all. The room was still full of numerous robots and fighting soldiers. Shadow glanced up toward the balcony and noticed that Black Doom hadn't moved since the beginning of the battle. While Queen Adella was trying to organize the mass of soldiers Black Doom continued to sit in his chair, eying the battle.

Shadow narrowed his eyes in suspicion. He knew Black Doom wasn't the kind of person to help people but since Vertrose and Aldiron are now allies he thought he would lend his assistance. The way that Black Doom was watching the battle gave Shadow and uneasy feeling.

His thoughts were interrupted when one of the robots slammed into him, throwing him to the ground and knocking the wind out of him. Shadow rolled onto his side to avoid being crushed by the oncoming robot and pushed himself to his feet. He rushed at the robot, destroying it on impact. Taking the next couple seconds to regain his breath he surveyed his surroundings. The amount of robots looked to be finally depleting and the soldiers were now gaining the upper hand. He was about to head back into the fray when something large and metal caught his attention.

Shadow looked over at the giant robot that was now towering over the exit. Sonic, who was previously keeping it busy, suddenly rushed toward Eggman but was swatted out of the air and sent flying in Shadow direction. Shadow attempted to move out of the way but wasn't quite fast enough and was taken out by the blue hedgehog.


No matter how many times Sonic hit the robot no damage would appear. He was starting to grow tired of the pointless attacks but then he noticed the remote controller that Eggman was still holding. That's got to be it! Sonic rushed at the robot to make it appear like he was going to attack it but turned at the last second, trying to reach for Eggman's controller. The robot's hand, however, moved just as fast as Sonic did and ended up hitting him from the side, sending him flying through the air.

Sonic's back collided with something soft and surprisingly his landing didn't hurt. He looked down to see what he had landed on and his eyes rested on a slightly dazed Shadow. Sonic blushed and quickly got off.

"Sorry," Sonic said sheepishly as he helped the black hedgehog up. "I just can't seem to get past that robot, I'm sure once I get the controller I can get rid of it."

"Fine, just need to get the controller right?" Shadow replied as he dusted himself off.

"Yeah but what—" Sonic was interrupted when Shadow reached out, grabbed his arm and spun him around, spinning fast enough that Sonic's feet left the floor. The next moment Shadow released Sonic, sending him flying through the air toward Eggman.

"Sonic!" yelled a high pitched voice that belonged to his best friend. Sonic spared a quick glance over and saw a gold ring flying toward him. Sonic smirked and snatched the ring out of the air. Using it's power to propel him faster, Sonic curled his body into a ball and spun at high speeds. He flew right past the robot and through Eggman's egg mobile.

"What?!" Eggman yelled as he quickly lost control of the egg mobile. He hit the buttons on it's control panel, attempting to get it under control, but to no affect. The machine zipped through the room, went through the ceiling and exploded in the air.

Sonic landed, the glow of the ring fading in one hand as the other held the remote controller. Sonic studied it for a moment before experimentally pushing one of it's unlabeled buttons.

"Self destruct initiated, T-minus ten seconds," said a voice from each robot.

"WHAT?! SONIC!" Everyone in the room seemed to yell at him. Sonic jumped at their loud voices before frantically looking for a different button to push. Shadow walked up to Sonic and snatched to controller from his hand, pushing a small button on the side. The robots then powered down and went still. Everyone in the room seemed to breath a sigh of relief.

Sonic looked around and winced once he saw the damage. Robot parts, building debris and shattered glass littered the floor everywhere. The ceiling now contained holes, which were the main source of light since the indoor lights were all destroyed. Even the walls were in such terrible condition that he was surprised they were still standing.

Sonic's shoulders slump when he thought about what a terrible day this had become. He looked over the mess to find his two-tailed friend and waved him over once he saw him. "Hey bud, didn't get hurt or anything?" Sonic asked as he looked Tails over.

"No I'm good, just a bit dirty, but I'll live," Tails replied.

"Well I won't!" screamed a pink hedgehog as she stomped over to them. "I show up in my best dress and look what happened to it." Amy sobbed the last part as she looked down at her ruined outfit. Her once pink and white floor length dress was now ripped and smudged with dirt.

"Nah, you'll be fine. I'm sure you can get it remade," Silver added as he popped out from behind Amy. He too was covered in dirt and his once formal outfit was no more. Sonic looked around the room and saw that the country leaders were conversing over the incident. He was sure that they were discussing what to do about Eggman.

Tails, Amy and Silver were currently arguing over their outfits so Sonic took that opportunity to talk to Shadow. "Uh, sorry about the wedding."

"Don't apologize over something you have no control over," Shadow easily replied as he turned toward him.

"Yeah but since this took place in my country it's kind of my fault. I also feel bad that we couldn't complete the wedding ceremony."

"Then why not complete it now?" Shadow pulled Sonic over to him and captured his lips into a deep kiss.
