FT CHAPTER 6
Axel's POV
I was falling down but I managed to keep myself in line with the Egg fighter, it moved around a lot but it just seemed to be keeping an eye on the lower levels of where the fighting was occurring.
"Hostile detected" I heard the pilot in it say as I landed on it, gripping the handles
"Trying to elude" Oh boy this going to be a rough ride
My grip managed to hold as the fighter kept on zigzagging and dropping up and down trying to shake me off, I had to slowly inch my way towards the pilots seat but at the same time I had to try and not lose my grip.
"Hostile eluded, returning to base" Well, this is better than before but I seriously feel like I want to throw up after all of that
"Jack, there's a change of plans"
"What is it now?"
"I'm heading into Eggman's base through the hanger bay, I managed to hold onto an Egg-fighter and it's heading back into its base which is Eggman's main ship, Just be ready to extract Jessabel" I instructed
"Wait, what about you?" Jack asked
"I'll be having a good word with the doctor" I grinned as the fighter came into the hanger and landed
I slid off the back and hid behind a set of creates while the egg-bots came out and refuel the fighters, I looked around for the closest exit but the closest one was on the other side of the hanger which would practically lead me into a death trap. But right in front of me was a vent and luckily it would fit my size but it could possibly lead somewhere else into the ship, I pulled out the scanner Jack had given me and turned it on. It was showing me where Jessabel was located and thankfully she hadn't moved from where she was but I bet Scourge and Fiona are getting closer to her with each passing minute
"You stupid robots, how did you let him escape?" I heard Eggman exclaim as he walked into the room
"The hostile seems to have eluded us, the last time he was spotted was grinding rails on route to this ship" It replied
"Hmm, perhaps he finally gave up; but I want you to make sure he doesn't sneak on board again because if he does I'll put you in with the rest of the scrapped robots!" Eggman exclaimed storming out of the room
Boy does he sure have a fired up temper, I looked around noticed some explosive barrels next to a fuelling station, I guess they must have emergency fuel in case one of their lines failed, I pulled Silvertooth out in its gun state and aimed at the barrels. I waited for a group of his robots to walk past them before I fired at it, the explosion would give me enough time to run to the exit and hopefully get away from this room. I pulled the trigger and felt the ripple of the explosion go through the room causing a fire and getting all the attention of the egg-bots away from me.
"Priority 5, contain fire to prevent destruction of ship" One of the robots said as I made a mad dash to exit
"YOU IDIOT'S! HE'S RUNNING RIGHT PASS YOU, FORGET THE FIRE AND KILL THE BLASTED BANDICOOT!" Eggman exclaimed as I fired a few more barrels causing them to be caught in the blast and destroyed
"Nice one" I heard Jack say over the com
"Thanks, how are you holding up?" I asked
"I've just been talking to G.U.N and it seems that someone has put in a good word for us" Jack said jokingly over the com
"Let me guess, Sonic and his friends are here?" I asked sarcastically
"Yeah, But we can ask them everything later, right now we still need to get to Jessabel"
"Agreed, so what did they tell us since we're no longer targets for them?" I asked frantically looking for a way to the holding cells
"They said that Eggman's main ship is holding some sort of device giving off a high energy reading, they can't exactly tell what it is but judging by experience this could be the device that Mogul mentioned"
"Alright, It doesn't seem that Scourge has reached Jessabel yet but I'm betting he's really close, also keep Com chatter to a minimum, I have a strong feeling that Eggman might be listening in on us" I replied still looking around
Running through this place was like a maze, it just seemed as if each hall way was the same
"Scourge, you better have a plan here" I heard a voice say further down the hall
"Don't worry Fiona, it's just one little kid, we're grabbing her and going, then Mogul can do whatever he needs to do and not worry his big head about it all" I heard Scourge sigh
I found an entry into the vent system and crawled in but tried my best not to make too much noise inside so they wouldn't run to Jessabel.
"You two took your time" I heard someone say
"Yeah, well air traffic and what not" Scourge smirked
"The girl is still in good condition and I want it left that way understand?" I heard him exclaim
"Calm down, she's only being used as a bargaining chip anyway" Scourge laughed
"Don't push your luck with me Scourge!" The voice exclaimed, I could hear who ever this person was lifting up Scourge and threw him up against the wall
"Not cool man, this jacket is new" Scourge smirked before I heard him being put back down on the ground
"Now, if that's all you wanted, we'll be on our way" Scourge said as they all walked off
"That guy seriously needs to take some time off" Fiona said
"Pfft, he just needs a good whacking across the head Fi and look what we have here" I heard Scourge smirk, I looked below and there was just a grating between me and him, I watched as he leaned in front of a door and pulled it open
"We came here, to pick this girl up... what a waste of time, I was thinking of someone who could fight back, not some pathetic eight year old" Scourge sighed
"It's nine you jerk!" I heard Jessabel retort
"Whatever, just get out of the damn cell" Scourge snapped
"No!" She exclaimed, she was always a bit of an arguer
"Fine I'll get you myself!" Scourge exclaimed
I kicked off the grating and jumped down, pulling out Silvertooth at the same time
"Hands off Scourge!" I exclaimed, his Neck just touching the tip of Silvertooth
"Ah, so you must be the big brother, Mogul warned me you might come" He smirked as he stood back
"Let me-"
"No Fi, this is just between us boys"
"I'm glad you came" Jessabel said hugging me
"Yeah, now stay in that room and don't come out unless I say, I'll deal with scourge" I said pushing her back in and shutting the door
"Touching, too bad you won't be around long enough to see her grow up" Scourge grinned
"I don't plan on dying today" I said readying my blade to attack
"Fiona get back to the plane" Scourge instructed, Fiona nodded and ran off just leaving me and Scourge to dish it out between us.
"Happy now" Scourge said sarcastically
"Whatever, let's just get this over and done with" I grinned while gripping Silvertooth, this is going to be a fast fight
