Whew. Here's another chapter for you all. Please Review. I do not own anything except the plot and OC characters.
Chapter 3: SURPRISE!
Everyone fell down when the scanner set off its alarm. Tails jumped back into his chair and checked what was wrong.
"Well, what is it Tails?" asked Sonic.
"The scanners picked up a very large energy spike in a region farther behind us." replied the two-tailed fox.
"What?" said everyone except Tails in surprise.
"Are you sure?" demanded Starlight.
"Yes I'm sure." answered the two-tailed fox.
"So why did it happen?" questioned Knuckles.
"I'm trying to figure that out, but the energy spike disappeared before I could study it." explained Tails.
Everyone returned to their positions leaving the hedgehog and plant girl. Sonic turned his attention to Cosmo's daughter and stared at her with stern eyes.
"What?" asked Starlight.
"What do you know?" questioned the hedgehog.
"I don't know what you're talking about." replied the plant girl.
"What do you know about the energy spike and don't pretend you don't know." spoke Sonic.
"Okay. When White Lily uses her gifts, it tends to cause energy spikes, but I don't know why she used it." answered Cosmo's daughter.
"Dr. Eggman could have followed us." said the hedgehog.
"Eggman is no threat to us. You and the crew can easily deal with him by yourselves." spoke Starlight.
"I wasn't finished talking. Dr. Eggman could have followed us and were attacked by Metarex too powerful for them to take on." said Sonic.
"Still why would they help them?" asked the plant girl.
"White Lily told us if we are to stop the Metarex we need all the help we can get even if it means asking my arch enemy, Dr. Eggman, for help." explained the hedgehog.
Before any of them could say another word, something his the Blue Typhoon. The crew looked around shocked trying to see who caused it. Tails enlargeed a small figure for everyone to see it. It was the Metarex ship Scarship!
"That's impossible!" exclaimed the girl hedgehog.
"Scarship was destroyed during our last encounter!" said Cream.
"They must have built another one in its place." spoke Knuckles.
Missiles and lasers struck the ship's hull almost sending everyone inside flying.
"We need to focus our energy in destroying it. We need to attack Scarship to give Sonic and Knuckles the chance of entering the ship to blow the engines up." said the two-tailed fox.
Sonic and the echidna ran out to the deck. Cream, Cheese, Amy, Starlight, and Tails released a full barrage of weapons. The weapons were deflected from the ship as it advanced towards them.
"Surrender now and hand over Sonic. If you do, I will let you live." said Scarship.
"If we refuse?" asked the plant girl.
"I will have to take him by force and kill you all." replied the Metarex ship.
No one said a single word for a few minutes until the Metarex broke the silence.
"No reply. I guess that means no. Say farewell to your friends hedgehog." spoke the robot.
Missiles and lasers started firing at the ship. Knuckles and the hedgehog were able to destroy some, but many got passed them.
"SHIELDS UP!" shouted the two-tailed fox.
The girl rabbit and chao were able to lift the shields just in time, but it didn't do much protection. The Blue Typhoon was still taking severe damage.
"Tails. If we don't do something, we'll lose the shields and engines!" exclaimed Amy.
"Get Sonic and Knuckles back into the ship so we can retreat." said Tails.
Outside Sonic and the echidna were still attacking Scarship when their communication devices turned on. They both looked at it to see the girl hedgehog with a serious expression.
"We are a little busy right now." spoke the hedgehog.
"Tails says we need to retreat and rethink our plan." said Amy.
"Why?" asked Knuckles.
"The shields won't stay up much longer and the ship won't be able to take anymore of this." said the girl hedgehog as Cream and Cheese were screaming in the back.
"Ahhhhh!" cried out the girl rabbit.
"CHOOO!" shrieked the chao.
"We're coming now." answered Sonic.
The hedgehog and echidna started to head back, but were hit by some lasers. They were both sent off course and ended up crashing into the Blue Typhoon.
"Ugh." said Knuckles and Sonic as they got up.
"You guys okay!" asked Tails.
"Yeah. We'll live, but I don't think Knuckles is very happy about it." replied the hedgehog.
"That Metarex is going to pay for that." spoke the echidna as he began to charge at the Metarex ship.
"Hold on there," said Sonic as he grabbed Knuckles, "We can deal with it later. We need to focus on getting out of here alive."
The echidna still wanted to attack the robot, but decided to let it go.
"Let's get going then." spoke Knuckles.
"Okay. Tails let's get going once we're in." said the hedgehog.
The two-tailed fox started the warp drive as the echidna and Sonic entered the ship. Scarship shot some more of its weapons and one of them hit one of the engines. The alarm rang on inside and the lights turned red.
"What's going on Tails?" asked Amy.
"Oh no! Engine one was destroyed! We're losing speed! It also damaged our warp drive. We can't escape!" exclaimed Tails.
Everyone looked at him with fear and surprise.
"What are we going to do?" questioned Cream.
"All we can do is fight now. Without the engines or warp drive we can't go anywhere." said the two-tailed fox with despair in his eyes.
"Come on guys. We can't give up now." spoke the hedgehog
"He's right. We need to take that Metarex down." said Knuckles who was following Sonic's lead.
"Okay! Tails! We're ready to fire the next round of missiles. What do we do now?" inquired the plant girl.
"Chooo?" asked Cheese.
The crew's eyes were on their captain until he finally shouted, "FIRE NOW!"
The next line of missiles headed for the Metarex ship. The Metarex began to laugh at their effort.
"How foolish. It would have been much easier to surrender. None the less, I will enjoy crushing you and of course excluding you, Sonic." said Scarship
The missiles were as unsuccessful as the first. The Metarex ship still approached the damaged Blue Typhoon and continued to fire its arsenal.
"This is it? This is how it ends? We just leave the planet to save the universe and we're going to be destroyed before we did anything." thought Tails.
"No! I won't let this happen! It can't end like this. Not like this!" shouted the hedgehog as he slamed his fists onto the controls.
The Metarex's weapons were about to hit the Blue Typhoon when they a white light descended upon them.
"What the?" spoke the two-tailed fox.
"What's going on?" asked the girl hedgehog.
"What's happening?" questioned the echidna.
"Its her!" exclaimed Cosmo's daughter.
"Impossible! How dare you interfere with the Metarex! This will be the last time you will do anything!" shouted Scarship.
The white light pushed the Metarex back along with its attacks.
"I will get you for this! This won't be the last time you see me!" threatened the robot.
Scarship was forced to activate its warp drive and left the battle.
"How do you like that?" shouted Sonic.
Everyone looked around to see everything turning white and disappearing.
"What's going on?" asked Knuckles.
"I don't knoooowwwwww." said Tails as he vanished completely.
"Taaaaaiiiiiiiilllllllssss!" screamed the girl rabbit before she too faded away.
"Chhhhoooooo!" spoke the chao when it evanesce.
"Cccccrrrreeeaaammmm! Ccchhheeessseee!" cried out the echidna until he was gone.
"Soooonnnniiiiiccccc!" yelled Amy.
"Aaaaaaammmmmmyyyyyy!" hollered the hedgehog.
Starlight was the last to leave, but remianed very calm. Finally, the ship was erased from the universe's very existence.
