Sonamy:
Chapter 9
(Part One)
Let Us Stand For Freedom And Glory!
Story P.O.V…
Well this is it, the moment that the team have been waiting for. All the research, training and recon all came down to this most important event. The team including Otacon, have made their way carefully but causally to the outer perimeter of Robotnik's base. Tails was above them in the X-tornado, but high enough to evade Robotnik radars which scanned the sky. Tails as ordered checked in with Sonic every 15 minutes or so, just to update him of any movement. Stealth was the biggest factor of this mission, the team followed the plan to the detail and just like the steps in a dance flowed efficiently. Each group got to their positions which were the 3 main gates, whilst this was all going on Amy was more focused then normal. The reason for this is, over the last week she had been a bit unwell she tried to shrug it off but Otacon took notice of this and gave her a check up. Turns out that the implant, which she recently had did not kick in as it should of to both Otacon's and Amy's surprise Amy is pregnant. They both agreed to keep it quiet until after the mission, but deep down Amy was scared no more than that terrified. If she were to lose Sonic, then she may have to look after this baby alone. No way she did she want this to happen so she was going to do her best to make it though.
Now Let's Get To The Story…
As they approached the main gates, Sonic looked at Otacon for confirmation on when to advance through the gates and to send the go ahead to the others. "well Otacon, I am waiting. Can't stand like this all night you know, some of us have things to do."
Otacon looked at Sonic with an annoying look. "look here Sonic, don't rush me you know what I am like at field work. I get a bit techy, on looking at my device we need to find cover and wait for a while. It shouldn't be too long, the machine must have had a vamp of power from somewhere because it's not running as hard as I predicted. With this information, I would give it about 1 maybe 2 hours no more than that I would have thought."
With this little set back, Sonic was far from happy and frustration flowed through is body. This was not part of the carefully put together plan which they went through. 'oh well adapt and overcome' he thought.
Sonic radioed to Tails telling him the set back and in the meantime to keep constant scans of the area. "honestly Tails, you are the first and last line of our defense. Everything is riding on total basis of surprise, if we lose that then it's going to get messy very quickly over."
Tails nodded to this. "no worries Sonic, I have got this I promise I won't let you down over."
Sonic gave a silent smile when he heard this crackle over his communicator on his wrist. "well done little bro, I knew I could count on you out."
After that was done he radioed the other groups. "to groups Bravo and Charlie, fall back to these coordinates and set up a basic camp till further notice out."
Meanwhile Back With Robotnik…
The main systems were on lock down, and everything was in battle mode. Robotnik was stood in the main observation deck looking out towards 'The Doomsday Project', spewing out countless pod's at a high rate. But as always, it wasn't fast enough for him he wanted more he wanted power but most of all he wanted that hedgehog.
He walked up to the mainframe, which controlled the emerald machine. He looked at the screen and shouted for Snivley. "Snivley where are you, you annoying little hairless weasel?!"
Snivley walked up to his master shaking whilst doing so. "yes sir, what seems to be the problem sir"
Robotnik grabbed him. "I thought you said that the majority of the power from the emerald machine is going to 'The Doomsday Machine.' From looking at this, YOU HAVE DISOBEYED ME!"
Snivley now with pools of sweat dripping from his brow found his voice. "terribly sorry sir, but we had to keep some power back so that the main gates of the perimeter could still be kept online sir."
Robotnik now seeing red put his face right up to his. "I WANT ALL AVAILABLE POWER TO THE PROJECT NO QUESTIONS ASKED YOU HEAR ME I WANT THAT HEDGEHOG!"
Snivley turning his nose at Robotniks smelly breath said. "yes sir right away sir."
Robotnik dropped him from a great height to the floor and Snivley went to the console. He disengaged the gates, neither of them knowing that this would be the worst mistake that they will ever make and secretly Snivley knew it.
Back With The Sonic Team…
By this time, they had got a basic camp made up and were going through certain bits of the plan to see if there were any improvements that could be made. Otacon managed to slip away, and made sure Amy was alright to continue on with the mission. But as always, Amy was as stubborn as an maul and made it clear that she was fine. Sonic saw this, but because there was so much going on around him he just didn't have the time. By this point, it was going into the early hours of the morning. Any later, and Sonic knew that they would have abort and lay low until the next evening.
Otacon was sat at the make shift works station keeping contact with Tails. "I don't know what to say Tails, by the looks of this you may need to set her down somewhere undetected. Lay low for the next evening, don't think you can do anymore up there. If I find anything out, I will contact you to scramble the x-tornado over."
Tails voice could be heard over the radio. "roger that doctor doctor wilko out."
Sonic managing to have a bit of time, walked over to Otacon and sat down and put his feet up. "ahh my god that feels good, why isn't anything easy anymore Otacon? thought we would be just finishing up by now."
Otacon grinned. "don't you think you're getting a bit too confident there mate? what we have to do is no easy feat you know. Anyway I have some good news and some bad news. Which one would you like first?"
Sonic thought for a minute. "hmm… well I will have the bad news first."
Otacon nodded. "alright we are going to have to abort the mission it will have to be tomorrow night."
Sonic groaned and slapped his forehead with his hand and wiped it down his face Otacon continued. "but the good news is, the gates have finally been deactivated so tomorrow night the party will be on."
Sonic took a deep sigh. "well I suppose it's something, what is the device telling you?"
Otacon smiled. "well this is the interesting bit, the gates have been deactivated by choice. Not because of the machine, Robotniks base is now so unstable that just one little hit on any target which we have in our sights. Will be enough just to tip it over the edge."
Sonic nodded his head but was in deep thought. "fair enough sounds good, well looks like we need to set up a perimeter around the camp. Just in case anything should come in the night which is nasty."
Otacon nodded in agreement. "yeah we will let the males take care of that one, let the girls sleep for the rest of the night. Then we can get Tails up in the air early tomorrow morning to see what has gone on during the remainder of the night."
The Morning of the 'Big Push'…
Story P.O.V
Nothing really to report over the rest of the night's events. Loud noises and swat bots clunking around could be heard over the way but that was all, due to Amy's latest development. She was up before anyone else, as she walked outside to get some air she saw Sonic asleep sat up against the camp. All she wanted was to sit next to him, and nicely wake him up to tell him he's going to be a dad. But she knew that she had to pick the right moment, also she was scared on the fact that it could freak him out.
As she was looking at him daydreaming, cream walked up to her. "alright Amy it's a lovely day, it's awful that we have to do this on a day like this."
Amy nodded and thought to herself 'yeah don't I know it cream talk about bad timing'. "yeah tell me about it cream, nothing seems to slow down for anyone as it turns out. Come on, let's make breakfast and wake up the team they are going to need it."
Cream giggled and nodded, the pair went about making breakfast. Later on the group were up and about except for Sonic, who was still asleep. Amy took a plate with eggs, bacon etc.
She walked up and knelt down in front of him, and kissed him gently on the cheek. "wakey wakey eggs and backy my little Sonikku."
Sonic slowly opened his eyes as he smelt the glorious breakfast which Amy made him. "oh Amy hunny, you didn't have to do this wow this is awesome. What are you trying to do? fatten me up or something. After I eat all this, I don't know if I will be able to move."
Amy giggled. "well I have to make sure you keep your strength up Sonikku."
Sonic smiled and Amy gave the plate to him with a cup of coffee, which Sonic accepted with admiration in his eyes. After the team were fed and watered, they got down to what needed to be done.
Shadow and Rouge had near enough everything ready, they carefully constructed the explosion devices so that it could penetrate and destroy the strong thick walls which were protecting the underground tunnels. Otacon had the signal blocker online and working, plus constructed the mini pressurised housing so that he can get the emeralds. Tikal was set in a deep trance, so that she could try and get anymore Intel on what was going on inside Robotniks base. As for the rest, they were preparing themselves with what was laying ahead of them.
Otacon was just finishing up with the housing, when Sonic walked up to him. "Otacon, just one question. If we want the machine to explode under the pressure, surely if you take the emeralds out. Then all that's going to happen is that he will end up with no power correct?"
Otacon smile. "well you have just answered your own question, and besides it's going to do a little bit more than that. Think about it, the machine is still going to be running because it won't have time to fully power down. Robotnik will still demand power but there won't be anything in the machine it will overheat trust me."
Meanwhile up in the air with Tails…
As he sat in the x-tornado with hover mode enabled, he tried to keep focus on his scanners and long distance cameras. He knew that he was the team's eyes and ears, but considering that he had been up there since 5 o'clock in the morning and only having 3 hours sleep. It was quite hard to stay awake, suddenly one of his sensors woke him up a bit it was showing a gradual heat increase from where the emerald machine was.
With this he quickly got on to the microphone. "Sonic come in, this is Tails something is kind of happening up here over."
At the camp Tails voice crackled over the radio. Sonic and Otacon jumped up and went to the main console. "yeah Tails buddy, this is Sonic what's the situation over?"
Tails voice came through. "one of my heat sensors has picked up a gradual heat increase. it seems to be coming from the same area as the emerald machine over."
Otacon was the person who replied back to him. "acknowledge Tails, stand by for confirmation."
He went to his device, and hacked into the machine. As Tails said, the machine was working overtime and was working 70% above normal. He then went back to the microphone. "yeah Tails just looking at that, the machine's has jump 30% during the night. Whatever is going on down there, Robotnik must be getting desperate. Keep an eye on that, and report every half hour over."
Tails hung on every word. "yeah wilko doctor, understood out."
Now We Join Robotnik In The War Room…
By this time, Robotnik had the emerald machine working harder than ever. Greedy for power, nothing seemed to stop him like he had some kind of twisted obsession. As he looked on 'The Doomsday Project', it was in full swing and already hoards of prisoners were coming into the base for transformation. Which seeing that the roboticizer was now hooked up to the emerald machine, was working hard and fast. A nasty creepy grin filed Robotniks face as he saw the action in front of him unfold.
Snivley walked up to his master. "excuse me sir, but the emerald machine is running critically high state and may cause us problems. Should we lower the power sir?"
Robotnik looked at Snivley with disgust. "what have a told you about thinking Snivley? we are on the home stretch, and you want to turn down the power. Stupid inexperienced buffoon."
Snivley interestingly cut in. "but sir, the tunnels to 'The Doomsday Project' are weakening. They were not designed for this kind of use, it has been a long time since they were used last. They just can't take the work load sir."
Robotnik by this time had enough "WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO SNIVLEY ? THAT'S IT, I HAVE HAD IT WITH YOU. Maybe it was wrong of me to keep you by my side, if you will not work with me. Then prepare to face the consequences."
With this Robotnik picked up Snivley and thew him to the swat bots. "have him arrested and lock him away in one of the chambers, for obstructing and negligence to duty. You Snivley, will work with me again just not in your form TAKE HIM AWAY."
Back With The Sonic Team…
The time was now upon them, the night was setting in and everyone was ready. Sonic radioed to Tails just for confirmation. "Tails this is Sonic, report of any updates over."
Tails then came back with some interesting news. "Sonic this is Tails, yeah things are going just as the same as before. I don't know for sure, but I have just seen another squad of prisoners walk in. I could have sworn that one of them was Snivley over."
Sonic's eye brows nearly went off the top of his head. "um… Tails let me just confirm what you said, Snivley was one of the prisoners over?"
Tails with a surprising look, nodded his head. "that is correct Sonic, either he is there to supervise the prisoners or Robotnik has totally lost the plot over."
Sonic shook his head. "dam even his own workers are going against him, well there's nothing that we can do about that now. We have our own battle to sort out, this is it Tails on your mark we are going in over."
There was an intense pause as the team impatiently waited for the go, all of a sudden the speakers crackled into life. "Sonic this is Tails, the mission is a go I repeat the mission is a go."
Sonic nodded and the team jumped into life, this was it the main event. "copy that buddy, good luck and good shooting. See you on the other side out."
The team split up into their groups, and walked back to the three main gates which were deactivated. As they approached the outer perimeter of the base, as Otacon predicted it was deserted because of the emerald machine and 'The Doomsday Project'. Sonic look at the reminder of the team, who were there with him and sighed a deep breath. As he said his final words to them, he had his communicator close to his mouth so that the other could hear him. "right gang, before we go in I just wanted to say that all of you make one hell of a team. I would not change any of you for the world, all of you have work with distinction and valor and are loyal. Let goodwill and faith get us through this tough assignment. Hopefully we will all see each other on the other side good luck team."
With this he nodded to his group, and gave the go ahead into the base. As Sonics group walked in everything was quiet, dead quiet to the point where it was eerie. Sonic followed his communicator on his wrist for the co ordinance of the main elevator, that Otacon must use to approach the emerald machine. They slowly came to the main shaft, they took some cover as they saw quite a few swat bots guarding the area.
Sonic rolled his eyes, Otacon looked at him and whispered. "c'mon Sonic, you didn't think it was going to be that easy now did ya?"
Sonic acknowledged this statement, as he looked he saw that between them patrolling. There was a time gap of a few seconds, within that time he would be able to take Otacon. Rush him in and get out without any of them knowing about it.
Sonic whispered to Otacon. "grab hold of me and do not let go."
With this, Sonic dashed so quick that he was back before Amy could blink. "wow hunny, that was some fast action."
Sonic blushed at this statement and smiled. "right Otacon is in, now let's get going to 'The Doomsday Project'.
With otacon…
As the lift slowly descended down to the room below, Otacon was trying to stay calm. He had a little map on an alternative exit, which would get him out quickly and into some shelter which he could contact the groups and give them intel when needed. While he was going through this in his mind on what he had to do, he didn't realise that he was at the bottom. He cautiously walked down the long corridor, which Shadow and Rouge did not too long ago. As he approached the huge metal door, he saw that amazingly enough the security was still active. No problem to Otacon, he walked up to a disused console which looked like it hadn't been used for a while. He took something out of his bag and hooked up an interesting machine, which made the console light up into life. He then smiled and went about disengaging the security, after a few minutes everything was offline and he breathed a sigh of relief and forcefully opened the door. There in front of him stood the emerald machine, Otacon looked it over and even though he did not want to admit it Robotnik had done well in constructing the beast. He walked up to the little console in front of the machine, and again as he predicted there was the adaption unit. He then went to the main console unit, and placed the signal blocker onto the it. After he made sure that there was no way that it could not be shut down by normal means, he then walked back to the adaption port.
He took the miniature housing from his bag, and holding it in his hand said. "this is what you get Robotnik for taking my plans you bastard"
He placed it into the port, and pressed a button a warning message flashed above the option saying that it was not advised to release the emeralds when the machine was in use. But Otacon overridden it, and pressed the button which then released the emeralds all of a sudden there was a huge sucking noise.
Then to Otacon's dismay, alarms went off in every direction. He quickly secured the emeralds in the housing, making sure that the transfer had been done correctly. "SHIT, that was not supposed to happen."
He quickly ran to a door in the floor, and pulled it open he looked at his communicator and jumped down into the hole. Following the directions that his communicator were telling him to his way out. "thank fuck that's over, wonder how the others are getting on?
