Tails managed to destroy one of his foes but the other kidnapped him for an unknown reason. Sonic managed to destroy one of the robots but the other fired at Amy, Sonic kicked her away so she wouldn't be killed but broke her ribs. The Metallix flew off grabbing the bird, which was once E-102 gamma.

The weather in Station Square got worse over the day, the overcast clouds blackened and suddenly the whole city was under a heavy shower. Visiting hours have been over for about 4 hours at Station Square hospital but that didn't seem important to a lone figure standing on the roof of a parallel building. Sonic stood holding on to a soaked metal banister, he had been waiting at this area all day but it wasn't important to him, he had caused Amy harm and he couldn't forgive himself for it. During the visiting hours he saw a lot of old friends, such as Shortfuse the Cybernik and Tekno the cannery. All of them walked in gave Amy a present, gave her a few comforting words, then as they left they gave an accusing look at Sonic. She was still unconscious from her injury but the nurses said she should be awake by the end of the night, all Sonic wanted to do was wait for her to wake up.

In Genocide City a seriously damaged Metallix was struggling to stay afloat, in its metal hand a pink Flicky was trying to get free. On the horizon Robotnik's egg mobile came into view, "Fool!" shouted the dictator, "You were supposed to get back in one piece!" The Metallix looked through its blind visors then collapsed, the Flicky began to fly away, but then it turned and looked at Robotnik. So much responsibility for such a small bird… It floated for a few seconds thinking of his family and thinking of the days when he was Gamma, he couldn't control himself at times… The bird took a deep breath and sighed, there was no choice in order to save his family the Flicky had to become Gamma once more.

In Station Square hospital, a nurse walked over to Amy, who was already regaining her consciousness. Amy was still weak and couldn't sit up, she merely rubbed her eyes and looked out of the window… "Sonic!" She joyfully exclaimed. Sonic saw her from the roof, he was soaking wet, he was tired and he was angry with himself. He didn't want to watch this.

"Are you alright Miss Rose?" enquired the nurse, "What…? Oh yes" replied the pink hedgehog "It's just a thought I saw something fly by the window" The nurse looked at Amy, she looked very hurt "I'll just shut this for you then" said the nurse; she did so and left Amy alone in her cubicle.

Miles Prower was still asleep, he felt very uncomfortable but it didn't wake him, as Tails was a master of sleeping. A few rooms away Robotnik was confronted by a Metallix, "Well how did the mission go?" Robotnik declared, "Is that pesky fox dead or alive!" The Metallix took a few steps forward and then uploaded his data to a console near by. "Fox termination… Incomplete," Robotnik looked angry, then tapped a button on the console. As he did several Metallixes entered the room via hatches strategically placed around the room. "Why Not!" shouted Robotnik, The Metallix pressed a button on the console and a giant screen lowered from the ceiling, on the screen was the battle between Tails and the first Metallix from an Ariel view. "Unknown subject, captured," Blurted the Metallix. "Fool that IS Tails" Shouted the dictator in a vile rage. He then pressed a button on his panel and calmly left the room "Urgg does not compute…Tails wimp does not compute" As the Metallix stood trying to make sense of this data the Metallixes that Robotnik summoned moved about in the shadows then one by one shot at their comrade, the first shot destroyed the Metallix right arm the second got all of it's legs then it's body. The Metallixes stopped their fire and watched as the head of their former comrade, squirmed around. Then it said one last sentence, "Does…Not…Compute…Metallix…friend...does...not…COM…." Then the light in its eyes faded.

Outside Robotnik had just heard the carnage, "What a waste" he declared "I thought an old style Metallix could have finished of Tails instead of capturing… He captured Tails!" Robotnik's face suddenly lit up as he realised that he could move his plan one step further… "Eggscellent now all I have to do is get him into the mobile base"

Tails finally woke up; the roof was leaking right on his nose. "Where am I" wondered the young fox, "This room is moving, I wonder if I'm in a plane?" Tails quickly examined the room; there was a fold over bed in one corner, a dank toilet, and a bulge in the ceiling, which occasionally dripped onto a puddle in the middle of the room. Tails shook his head and laid down on the bed, "What now?" as Tails began to think about it he heard faint voices. He looked I the direction of the voices and saw something perfect, an air vent. He rolled in the puddle to get himself damp then crawled through the vent. A few minutes later and he was above a room with an unmistakable figure in the middle, Robotnik. Tails listened to the conversation "now…pilot the mobile base to the Aquatic Ruins zone" "yes sir" "We wait until morning then we attack the floating island" Tails knew what he had to do he crawled to the end of the duct and found a cargo room with a hatch leading to the roof. Tails climbed up and flew to the Mystic Ruins.

In the mobile base Robotnik stood laughing "foolish fox… Hehehe you believe you have escaped."

Sonic had caught the first train to the Mystic ruins zone it was about six O' clock in the morning and he was very tired, he got on the train about an hour ago and during the hour he was unable to sleep, he was feeling to bad inside. The train finally stopped and Sonic dashed to the door, it wouldn't open, he tried again it still wouldn't open "what's going on!" An announcer finally said, "We apologize for the inconvenience but we will be unable to make a stop at the Mystic Ruins due to a bridge collapse, we once again apologize for not getting this information sooner." Sonic looked disappointed, "I guess they were too busy cleaning up Station Square after yesterdays attack" Sonic then opened a window and jumped out just as the train started moving in reverse, so he fell awkwardly bruised his ankle. "Damn" Sonic then ran down the track and finally reached M.R then he jumped of the broken bridge and into Tails' workshop. "Tails… Are you here?" As Sonic shouted this he saw the Tornado 3 zoom out of into the distance.
