Chapter 4 Plan of Attack

Things for Tails were not going very well. After dealing with the Chaos situation, Tails was more hoping for some down time or perhaps a small vacation. But what she didn't count on was getting sent to this strange planet full of humans. In truth it was mainly her instincts that caused her to follow Sonic through the portal to this world. Ofcourse, had she stayed she wouldn't be able to help save Sonic now... though that was turning out to be more of a hastle than she first thought. For starters she didn't really know anything about this place. After all humans were only spoke about in legends where she came from. Yet here she was surrounded by a vast majority of them. The legends about the humans pointed to the fact that they came from a planet they called Earth. So this was where Tails had to assume she was.

Now Tails made a very important discovery. Apperantly, Mobians are just as non exsistant on this planet as Humans were to Mobius. She found this out by the constant screams of the locals as they saw her. So Tails had picked up a rather large cloak to wear which with the hood up it atleast kept people from seeing her. Though she noticed she got a few strange stares but it sure beat the screams.

As Tails continued down the street she wondered what to do. She knew that her first goal was to locate Sonic, though she wasn't sure on where to look. She did have a feeling that perhaps they were taking him to the same place they were taking the Chaos Emeralds. But once again she had no clue on where they took them either. She gripped the Yellow Chaos Emerald she had a little tighter. She knew Sonic knew how to use one Chaos Emerald to locate the others but she didn't know how to do that. She did try but she couldn't see any change to the emerald.

Tails then noticed a kind of park up ahead. Inside she noticed humans wearing similar uniforms as the ones who took Sonic. Tails proceeded forward with caution as she stuck to an alleyway not far off. She then was close enough that she could hear them.

"...The Hedgehog's now safe on prison Island," One Man said to another, "We are to return to base.*

"What about the fox?" The other guy asked.

"Robotnik probbally has him," The other guy said.

Tails made a small grunt. Couldn't they tell she was a girl?

"All right, orders are orders," The guy said.

The two guys then borded a transport plane. That was there. The back hatch closed as Tails made her way to it keeping out of sight as much as possible. The craft lifted off the ground as Tails then made a run for it quickly getting ontop of the plane before it got to far. The plane then flew off.

Oh great just what I wanted, Tails thought, being on the outside of a flying plane.

"Are you sure this is where they took the Chaos Emeralds?" Eggman asked, he was in a slightly irritated mood.

"That's right," Rouge replied, "They have a cargo hold close by the central building."

Robotnik knew ofcourse that Rouge's information was most likely accurate. He was just in a irritated mood because GUN had managed to seige many of his bases as well as surround his base in the casino prymid. On top of that he found out that his Egg'omatic hovercraft that he used to escape with was damaged, so he was forced to use one of his prototype inventions, the Robo Walker. Now his Robo walker had pretty good weapons with it's Volcan Cannon and homming missles, but Robontik was sure that it wasn't enough to launch a full scale attack with it. The Robo Walker lacked the ability to fly but it had a thruster for slow decents. They managed to get there with one of Robotnik's ealier stealth ships but with some GUN technology he knew that it would be detected and it wouldn't stand a chance in combat. Robotnik had a very advanced Egg'o matic Hovercraft the first time he was here to releash Shadow, but this time he was a little irritated how he would have to do things the hard way.

"All right listen up," Robotnik said, "Due a set back we'll have to get the emerald a different way than I had originally planed."

Rouge and Shadow turned to Robotnik.

"Now, first off I'll go in and set a distractions," Robotnik said, "This should draw their main fire power torwards me."

"You sure you'll be ok in that thing?" Rouge asked, "Didn't you say that it wouldn't work in a full scale attack?"

"There's a diffence with what I'm doing and going in guns blazing, my dear Rouge," Robotnik said.

Rouge shrugged, she wasn't going to argue with him.

"Now, while I'm causing the divertion Shadow will go across the Island setting up those dynamite packs I gave him," Robotnik said.

Shadow was carring a kind of backpack, inside were several square shaped dynamite charges each with a very wide blast.

"With the packs in place, " Robotnik said, "Rouge will go into the base and collect the Chaos Emeralds, That is if you think you're up to it?"

"I'm the world's greatest Treasure Hunter," Rouge said, "Those Emeralds are as good as mine."

"Very Well, " Robotnik said, "You will have 30 minutes, to get the Emeralds and meet us back here at the ship. Remember to stay in radio contact."

Robotnik was refering to watch shaped devices on his, Shadow's, and Rouge's wrists. It wasn't has fancy as the Sega Kingdom's COMs but it was better than carring around a walkie talkie.

Rouge and Shadowy nodded.

"Very well," Robotnik said, "So, let's begin."

Robotnik set off towards the base entrance. He was up for a little challenge.

Inside the Main building of Prison Island sat the GUN Colonel. He was placed in charge of Prison Island.

"Sir."

One of the analysis just came into his office. The Colonel looked up as the analysis gave a solute. The Colonel gave a solute back.

"Sir, We've got a small problem," the analysis said.

"What is it?" The Colonel asked.

"Well, Sir, we dectected a small craft not long ago but it vanished from are radar," The analysis said, "We think it could be Robotnik."

"Hmmm..." The Colonel pondered at this, but he came to the conclution to check it out for he wasn't about to leave this to chance.

"Allright let's go to the War room," The colonel said.

The colonel got up and he and the analysis headed for the war room. Inside was a bankment of computers as well as a large monitor on the far wall. The room had many analysis and others manning the computers.

"Do a full sweep of the area," The Colnel ordered.

The analysis's replied as the sent the cameras and sensors on a full sweep. It wasn't long before they picked up something. A small craft heading straight for the entrance.

"What's that?" The Colonel said.

The analysis pulled up a camera to see a orb shaped craft on two legs, that supported a rather large turrent.

"Man the jets," The Colonel said, "Make sure he doesn't get inside."
