Chapter 7: Final Course Run
It was finally the end of the race for the four racers, yet while they were heading toward another ultimate trap, Eggman was quite well worried that his plot would be exposed to the public, as he witnessed the mess of his security robots all over the floor on a security camera in the stadium's command center.
"This can't be good for me" sighed Eggman to which he then began to ready to turn on his mech drones, "looks like I may need to use my newest generation of robots against these pests."
Back in the hallway, where Batman, the Green Arrow, Knuckles, Tails and Pops Racer defeated the security robots, the five were then prepared to head toward the main command center located on top of the stadium.
"Come on, I want to have a little chat with whoever is running the show down here" said Batman as he walked by through the pile of scrap metal on the floor, "just before we go look for Grodd on the course itself."
As the five intruders headed up the hallway, Eggman was quite busy in his command center, summoning his new mech robots to be ready for anything.
"Now perhaps, I can certainly spare a few of these new mech robots of mine for the course" laughed Eggman as he continued to be at the console.
Back on the course, the four racers were coming in the final stretch of the course. All four racers were still neck and neck in the race itself.
"I don't believe this!" cried Sonic as he continued to race on, "these three still think they can obtain the Fastest One Alive, then they got another thing coming."
"Yeah, just what the heck are you going to do about it?" asked Flash as he was racing right next to Sonic giving him quite a smirk, "Because it looks like I'm going to take away your title for good."
But as the four racers were just about to head toward the final stretch, a large mech robot came out of nowhere where Grodd, Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts are.
"Grodd, there's been a little bit change in our plans" said Eggman's voice through the large mech robot, "I never anticipated your old foes within the Justice League would certainly try to search for your whereabouts here. So I have decided to loan you an extremely hi-tech mech robot that'll certainly finish the four racers off in one place!"
"Now you're getting somewhere" replied Grodd as he gave a smile, "time to see what this mech robot does."
The four racers, then began to enter what seemed like to be a forest environment, where it seemed like the entire place went to total darkness. Each of the racers were still quite confused on what was going on, or what sort of a trap would be setup for them. Suddenly, some red eyes could be seen in the distance which the racers thought it was the finish line for them.
"Looks like I'm going to retain my title as the Fastest One Alive here!" laughed Sonic to the three other racers.
Yet as Sonic managed to head toward where the red eyes in the dark were, Sonic suddenly noticed it was just another trap. The large mech robot stood up quite tall, to which the three other racers stopped in their tracks to watch in their awe. With one swipe of the large fist from the mech came crashing right down, which Sonic then quickly managed to dodge the attack.
"Wow, Eggman certainly has out done himself this time" laughed Scratch who was watching not far ahead of the scene with Grodd, Grounder and Coconuts.
This then suddenly sparked Shadow's suspicions that something was going on, which he would certainly have to deal himself.
"You three deal with this thing here" said Shadow as he began to speed off, "I think we got some company to deal with."
"How the heck are we going to take something big like this down?" asked Flash.
"I think I might have an idea" replied Sonic as he noticed there were several tall trees nearby, "Speed, does your Marc 6 come with razer blade saws?"s
"Yeah, why?" asked Speed.
"I think this is the time we may need to use them" replied Sonic, "just follow my lead."
While Sonic, Speed and Flash were preparing to take down the large mech robot, Scratch was still busy watching the mech from afar when Shadow entered the scene and noticed the three familiar robots with a strange gorilla with them.
"Say, where the heck is Shadow?" asked Scratch.
"Why don't you take a look behind you?" asked Shadow.
"Shadow?!" cried Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts as they recognized him from a past incident.
"Trying to waste me again?" asked Shadow as he began to approach the three.
"Not another move black hedgehog" said Grodd as he happen to hold what seemed like a laser gun in his hand, "you are not going anywhere."
"Oh, I'm afraid so, with my Chaos Control!" cried Shadow.
Suddenly Grodd couldn't tell where Shadow was, as the black hedgehog just seemingly disappeared.
"Go search for him!" cried Grodd to the three robots.
"D-D-D-o we have to?" asked Grounder.
"Yes!" replied Grodd as he barked back at the three.
"Oh, this brings back horrible, horrible memories!" cried Coconuts as he armed himself with a hi-tech weapon.
Meanwhile, back with the fight with the large robot mech, Sonic and the Flash had managed to use their speedy powers to tear up the arms of the robot. While Speed was cutting down some trees right behind the robot to certainly make it slip up and fall. As the robot tried to regain control, it suddenly soon found itself trying to regain balance over some logs that were on the ground cut down by Speed himself. The large robot then literally falls down to the ground, right into pieces, destroying it completely.
"Come on, let's go help Shadow" said Sonic.
"Don't worry about me" said Shadow who showed up on the scene, "I believe I can wrap this up all nicely. Yet I'm going to need each one of you to help me to do the job."
While Shadow was coming up with another plan, Eggman was still worried on what might happen to him, as he couldn't imagine how Batman or the Green Arrow could easily take down his robot mechs he had laid out to defend the command center.
"I'm going to ensure my safety will be secured here at my command post" said Eggman to himself as he pressed buttons on his console which shut the main door to the center.
Back outside, the five intruders had already arrived on the scene with Knuckles trying his best to bring down the entrance door.
"It's no use!" cried Knuckles as he slammed his fists.
"I'm going to try another way in" said Batman as he took his grappling hook out, "I'll let you folks know when I get there."
"How the heck is he going to open it, he's not as strong as some other League members?" asked Pops.
"Oh, he has ways of ensuring things will go his way" replied the Green Arrow.
