"Sir, all data been Transmitted to the Servers and retrieved onto the drive" one of the Eggbots reported too Metal Sonic as the blue Robotic hedgehog still stares out the window watching another Resistance Capital Ship go down in flames, crashing into the City.

He grips his right metallic hand into a fist, more air coming out of the vents. The red wolf really did it, everything is definitely proceeding just as he plan for the Attack.

"Yes, Perfect. The first part of the 'Plan' is done."

"Thank you"

"And I just received word MK, MT, Sil and Mecha have arrived at the waypoints and delivered the materials to commence your 'Plan'"

"Excellent, contact MK dropship and tell them to pick up the wolf pup, have the others return to the Battleship, signal the ground forces and contact whatever left of the fleet, I want a full retreat"

"All of them Sir?" The Eggbot asked

"Everyone; And get this Battleship and the fleet a safe distance away from the city"

"Affirmative Sir"

The Command Center got all chaotic with Eggbots sending orders to whatever ship that was still flying and to the ground forces that were pressing into the city.

Metal Sonic goes back over to the window seeing another Resistance Capital Ship go down in flames, it was time to Execute his 'plan'.

"Time to see if 'he's' truly on our side, Infinite thinks so but I wanna make sure 'myself'"

Metal pushes a red button on a console.

"Infinite, if you are there get out of there now, we are retreating now"

-m-

"Infinite, if you are there get out of there now, we are retreating"

Infinite grunts hearing the voice from his built-in communication radio inside his Mask. He block a fist from Shadow with his arm and delivers a knee jab to the hedgehog stomach before delivering a punch to the face.

"Guess I should thank Metal for putting a built-in radio into my mask when we Agreed to this Partnership a year ago, at least he knows I'm not going to respond to him when I'm in battle"

The Jackal dodges a roundhouse kick from Shadow and sees him disappear in a blue light.

"Not this time"

He swings his left leg around him as the blue light reappears making direct contact with the Ultimate Life form face surprisingly. The force sends Shadow across the park and into a tree.

He makes contact with the tree with enough force sending him right through it but the back heels of his Air Shoes activate skidding him to a stop.

"Well Shadow, That was a great workout but we'll have to put our fight on hold till next time..if there is a 'next time'" Infinite said starting to hover in the air.

"Heh, are you running away, scared you'll get defeated by me again Infinite" Shadow replied tauntingly with a smirk and try's too stand up but winces feeling pain in his left leg before kneeling back to the ground.

The Jackal looks at the Ultimate Life form and smirks behind his mask. He really wanted too destroy that hedgehog but also wanted to thank him too for making him into what he was today.

"Call it a tactical retreat Shadow, enjoy this small victory while this city is still standing"

"Still Standing?"

He tilts his head looking up at the Jackal hovering in the air seeing him hover away.

"What are you plotting Infinite, you think this Attack on the city will let Mobius surrender to you, your the only one left in charge"

He could hear the Jackal chuckle at him and grits his teeth.

"Why should I tell you Shadow besides it's none of your concern, well I must go now I have a Schedule and an Agenda too keep"

The hovering Jackal turns around and flys away from the park heading back to the Cloak Battleship.

"I hope that wolf pup made it out okay..."

-m-

"Infinite" Shadow called out trying to get up to go after the flying Jackal but pain in his legs caused him to kneel back down into the grass.

He curse himself for allowing Infinite to get away. If it wasn't for the pain he could chaos control after that Jackal and knock him out of the sky still there was something on his mind.

"City still standing,what did he mean by that?"

"Shadow" he heard voices call out his name and saw some vehicles pull up including some resistance Soldiers along with A crocodile, a Chameleon, a bee, a robot and a bat women.

"Great, I'm never going to hear the end of it from Rouge for ignoring orders and going after Infinite" he sighs to himself with a facepalm.

He gets up to his feet ignoring the pain in his legs and limps over to where Rouge is heading over to him.

"Shadow"

"I don't want to hear it Rouge"

He looks over to see the Mobian citizens come out of the building they were hiding as the Resistance Soldiers took positions in the park helping whoever was wounded into the trucks, getting the deceased bodies into the trucks as well.

"Would Infinite really have the nerve to kill Eggman, if so that makes him an even bigger threat"

Looking over at another building he could see the four Jackals being helped out by the Crocodile, Chameleon and Bee being put into one of the trucks.

"Wonder if their compatriot will make it"

-m-

Gadget kept his back to the wall watching a firefight happening at the base entrance with Eggbots and Resistance Soldiers shooting there weapons at each.

"I gotta find a way out of here without being detected, I could fire my Wispon at the fencing but they would surely notice fire"

A quiet engine sound was nearby and above him got his attention. Looking up he saw the red robotic Echidna look out of the dropship giving him a wave before a blue light shines on him and he felt his whole body being pulled up into the dropship like some kind of invincible force had grabbed a hold of him into a hug.

"W-What's going on?"

He gets pulled up into the dropship hovering a moment as the light below him disappears and he lands on his two feet.

"W-What was that?" Gadget asked clutching his chest feeling his heartbeat, he really wasn't expecting something like that to happen so quick.

"Grav lift, one of the Doctors technology he left away in one of his 'Vaults' across the globe" the robotic Echidna said to him as he approach the red wolf.

"Vaults?"

"Yes"

"What kind of Vaults?"

He doesn't respond to the red wolf and instead turns to the Eggbot pilots.

"Get us out of here"

"Yes sir" the Pilot replied

The robotic Echidna looks back at Gadget for a brief moment.

"Did you get the data?"

The red wolf nods his head at him with a frown, a little annoyed this robot ignored his question since he had so many questions to ask, one of them was this 'Grav Lift' it mention.

"Good"

MK goes back over to the side of the dropship as it begins to hover up into the sky as he could see the Eggbots beginning to back away from the fight and start fleeing from the base.

"Looks like our forces are retreating"

The red wolf ears perked up, snapping out of his thoughts and goes over to join MK, seeinv the eggbots fleeing with the Resistance Soldiers giving chase.

"Why are they retreating?" Gadget asked him with the robotic Echidna glaring at him.

"It's part of Metal Plan"

"You mean there's more to this Attack?"

He doesn't say anything.

Gadget sighs giving up seeing this robot wasn't much of a talker and proceeds to go over to the other side of the dropship until alarms blare out in the ship.

"What's going on Pilot?" MK called out over the alarm.

"MISSILE"

"What?" MK replied almost sounding surprised as he looks out to see a flying Missile coming from the Resistance Base.

"Damn it, those stupid Eggbots either forgot to activate the cloaking device or one of those Resistance Soldiers were lucky enough too spot the dropship, Metal Sonic isn't going to be happy if the Resistance get their hands on this technology" MK thought to himself grabbing a hold of the side of the dropship.

The Missile collides into the dropship engines creating an explosion and it begins to swirl out of control. Gadget grabs onto whatever he could to keep himself from flying out.

"So much for staying undetected"

He grits his teeth, squeezing his eyes shut not noticing if the robotic Echidna was holding onto something as well but he did hear him shout something about a 'Distress Beacon'

The dropship swirls out of control to the ground with sparks flying out and it collides into the wall of the Resistance Base.

The red wolf slowly open his eyes before something hit him across the head knocking him out with his body flying into the cockpit of the dropship before it finally came to a crashing stop with a huge wall landing on top of it.
