Chapter 10: The Battle.
A/N: Chapter 10! And man was it fun to write I apologize it took so long to get out I had started this right after chapter 9 and slowly wrote it and just got it finished, The Christmas season took over my time and after that my dad was put into hospice care and left us soon after.
I'm going to dedicate this chapter to him.
Also, thank you for the reviews, they helped keep me motivated to write this.
I want to respond a review I got and say Thank you very much I try my best to keep everyone as close to the source as I can. I keep looking back through the comics and games brushing up on characters to keep them as close as possible while trying to adapting them to work for the story. And lastly, I see this as a point after Sonic and Sally tried but it didn't work out, Sally first and foremost is Amy's friend in my mind using her as an antagonist is just a bizarre idea to me.
I don't own Sonic The Hedgehog. I only own the characters created for the story.
It had been a few hours since Eggman's invasion, G.U.N. had started an assault on the badniks, but it was only to stall so they can evacuate the citizens.
Sally and Amy stayed in Lily's cafe while they came up with a plan to get everyone out safely.
"We should use a distraction," Sally stated.
"I don't know if that will work, Sonic's was only one who could distract Eggman since he hated him so much he would get tunnel vision." Amy countered.
"The G.U.N.'s soldiers are distracting Eggman, we can use that to get everyone out of here," Sally argued.
Amy didn't respond she just sat there staring at nothing hundreds of thoughts swirling around, but one kept popping up over and over again.
"What would Sonic do..." Amy mumbled.
Then she got an idea, one she knew would work.
"All we need is a distraction right?" Amy asked with a mischevious smile.
Sally looked at her confused.
"Yeah... Amy what do you have in mind?" Sally wondered not sure how she feels about her friend's sudden mood change.
Amy thought for a second then opened her mouth.
"Well..."
Ten minutes later Amy snuck out of the cafe ready to put the plan into motion.
'You can do this Ames you got this just do what Sonic would do.' She thought, trying to calm herself.
Her plan was a long shot, but if she pulled it off right, it would work for sure.
Amy summoned her hammer then got ready, once she was ready she started running as fast as she could.
While she ran she hit badniks, denting some and destroying others, it was sure to get Eggman's attention.
Amy continued doing this running the fastest she ever has, she wasn't going as fast as Sonic or Shadow, but this was faster than her usual best making her appear as a blur to the naked eye.
She kept up the distraction when finally a large number of badniks were cleared, Eggman came down in his Egg Mobile to see what was going on.
Eggman couldn't believe his eyes he saw a something blue blur passed destroying a badnik right in front of him.
"Y-You should be fried! How are you here!?" Eggman shouted.
Amy stopped and looked up at Eggman with an innocent smile on her face, Eggman's then stared down confused.
Eggman couldn't understand why she looked like a blue blur he didn't realize her blue turtleneck being the reason she appeared blue while she was running.
"I gotta say Sonic was right it is fun breaking your toys!" Amy said with an innocent smile.
"You little! When...! How did you get so fast!?" Eggman yelled furiously.
Amy put a finger to her chin and pretended to be deep in thought she then looked back at Eggman.
"Hmm let think, I ate my fruits and veggies I exercised daily. Oh, and I had the best coach training me." Amy answered, her smile turning into a cocky grin.
'I hope this works, acting like Sonic should get his blood boiling enough to get tunnel vision.'
"Why you little brat! All robots report to my current location NOW!" Eggman commanded.
That's when Amy realized her plan worked a little too well. She got ready for his army, badniks and humadroids came marching in closer.
"Do you like my latest invention? I call them Humadroids, they analyze and mimic their opponent's fighting styles perfectly, to tire them out before going in for the kill." Eggman stated while messaging his mustache.
Amy hesitated but got ready for a fight, badniks surrounded her and started to charge. Amy did a spinning hammer attack, damaging and destroying some of the badniks.
She kept up her attacks until Eggman spoke.
"Alright, girly that's enough of me going easy let's raise it up difficulty shall we?"
"Humadroids crush the hedgehog," Eggman commanded.
Each Humadroid transformed their arm's into a hammer's.
"OH HO HO HO. They say the hardest battle you will ever fight is the one against yourself, so I used that has the basis of the Humadroids." Eggman stated messaging his mustache.
Outside of Station Square, Sally and everyone from the cafe managed to get a safe distance away.
"Everyone make it?" Sally asked.
"Looks like it, what do we do now?" Rory replied.
"G.U.N. Should be here soon to pick you all up." Sally answered.
Lily remained silent worrying about Amy.
"What about you?" He asked.
"I'm going back to help Amy, don't worry about me I'll be fine!" Sally stated turning to the group and gave a reassuring smile before running back toward the city.
Amy's plan seemed to work Sally saw no badniks on her way back, they all seemed to have just left, many of the G.U.N. Soldiers took the break to look for citizens.
The further Sally walked, the more badniks she started, to see but they seemed to all be going in the same direction.
She followed at a safe distance, once she reached their destination Sally gasped.
Amy was fighting multiple badniks and humadroids, she had been fighting for a short amount of time, but she was on the brink of passing out.
Sally ran toward the action, blades forming from the blue rings on her wrist, she slid slicing badniks along the way.
"It looks like the little princess wants to join her friend. Good one less nuisance!" Eggman stated.
"Humadroids finish the pink one!" He commanded.
Amy was exhausted she could barely move she used her hammer to keep herself standing, Sally jumped in front of Amy putting herself in the line of the humadroids.
The humadroids now focused on the chipmunk but continued to mimic Amy's hammer to Eggman's surprise.
"OH HO HO HO, their programming has evolved, they don't need to mimic you to smash you. My genius never ceases to amaze me!" Eggman declared.
The humadroid swung at Sally but, was blocked by Amy.
"What how are you still able move!?" Eggman shouted in confusion.
Minutes earlier, the Tornado flew toward Station Square.
"Is flying into the heart of the city where Eggman is the best plan?" Robert asked concerned.
"We're not going in for a direct assault we are going to survey the damage." Tails explained.
"And if we have to destroy a few robots to do so then that's whats gotta be done." He added.
They reached the outer limits of the city they couldn't believe what they saw. A giant fortress was floating above the city, many of the buildings took damage, and below them were crowds of citizens looking up at the plane their faces covered in cuts bruises and many other injuries.
"Horrible," Robert said.
The duo flew deeper into the city and saw a large number of badniks.
"It looks like they're all focused on something." Tails pointed out.
"But what could be so threatening that would make every robot this Eggman as focus on it?" Robert questioned.
"I can only think of one person who can get Eggman this riled up..." Tails stated.
"I'm sensing a but in that statement," Robert replied.
"But Sonic isn't here so rule him out." Tails said.
Just then something flew passed the Tornado causing Tails to veer off course.
The duo looked around searching for what came so close to the plane, only for the plane to bounce with the weight of something grabbing onto it.
Tails started doing evasive maneuvers trying to shake whatever had hitched a ride.
"Stop Tails. It's me Knuckles!" Knuckles shouted while holding on to the bottom of the plane.
Tails leveled out and let Knuckles climb onto the wing.
"Thanks now Tails. Now go back that way Sally and Amy are in trouble!" Knuckles said pointing in the direction all the badniks were heading.
Flying over the area they saw the girls surrounded by several humanoid robots and badniks, Amy looked exhausted with cuts and bruises, Sally also had cuts and bruises but looked like she still had a lot of fight in her.
Knuckles jumped off the plane doing a drill claw into one of the humanoid robots.
He stood up and turned toward Eggman.
"This stops now Eggman!" Knuckles said.
"Oh ho ho, Knuckles so nice of you to join your friends in their final moments," Eggman said with a cocky smile.
Knuckles growled at Eggman causing him to flinch.
"Y-You think you can scare me Knuckles? Well, think again. Robots attack!" Eggman commanded.
Sally and Amy braced themselves while Knuckles was ready to block their attacks, but none of the badniks or humadroids moved, which confused everyone including the doctor.
Eggman started pressing a button furiously.
"Why won't these blasted robots move!" Eggman wondered.
Just then Tails yelled from the Tornado.
"Guys grab on!" He yelled.
The trio grabbed onto a rope ladder that was hanging from the plane Sally kept a firm grip on Amy because she was exhausted from the encounter.
"Tails how were you able to stop those robots from attacking us?" Knuckles asked.
"I-I didn't do anything." Tails replied.
"What?" Knuckles questioned.
"I was busy piloting the plane I couldn't do anything." Tails stated.
Later at Tails' workshop. The group was trying to come up with a plan.
"I say we talk with G.U.N. and gather the rest of the Freedom Fighters, and go for an all-out attack." Knuckles suggested.
"That's way too risky Knuckles!" Tails responded.
"An all-out attack is out of the question. We wouldn't stand a chance." Sally answered.
"Besides we need time to rest Amy is exhausted." She said pointing at the pink hedgehog.
"I agree with Sally." Tails replied.
"Hey, Robert got any ideas on what to do?" Tails asked turning toward Robert who had been quiet for a while.
"Huh? What yes, resting would be the best idea, after that we can come up with a plan." He responded distracted by his thoughts.
"Tails can I talk to you for a second?" Robert asked.
"Y-Yeah." Tails replied.
The pair exited the main workshop.
"Tails is there something your not telling me?" Robert questioned.
Tails scratched his head confused.
"Nothing comes to mind why do you ask?" He replied.
"What about Doctor Eggman? He looks a lot like my grandfather Gerald." Robert pointed out.
"And I vaguely remember hearing something back around when I first introduced myself. Sonic said something to the effect of 'Eggman made a time machine by accident?' Which you quickly shushed it's been on my mind recently what are you not telling me." Robert wanted an answer.
Tails sighed and walked over grabbing two chairs.
"You're right, fine I'll explain but. It will have to be vague on some of the details. Honestly, we already crossed a line with you being here." Tails said calmly.
Robert looked at Tails while deep and thought then nodded.
"*Sigh* Ok, Years ago residents of a peaceful island started going missing and evil robots called badniks started roaming around. Sonic noticing the missing animals set out on a search. during his search, he came across an evil scientist with a bushy mustache who had turned them all into badniks then he attacked Sonic..." Tails paused to gather his thoughts.
Robert was confused by the story but didn't interrupt.
"During this time he called himself 'Doctor Ivo Robotnik' Sonic learned of his plans and set out to stop them."
Robert looked at Tails more confused but Tails started talking before he could ask anything.
"Every time the Doctor launched an evil plan Sonic was there to stop him. No matter if it was when I met Sonic. Or traveling through time, when he saved Amy. Or the time we met and befriended Knuckles. Or even trying to keep freedom with Sally and the Freedom Fighters Sonic would always be there to stop Doctor Robotnik." Tails looked up at Robert.
"The name Eggman started as an insult toward him during one of Sonic's adventure. and it became the name everyone knows him by you can see why we didn't tell you anything not to lie to you but to make sure you don't know the horrible things you do in the future..." Tails looked down at the floor and apologized.
Robert thought about it for a second then put his hand on his shoulder.
"Thank you. And don't worry I'm not mad I'm not that man at least not yet, and I'm going to do what I can to help you before my time to be him comes." Robert declares.
What I'm going to do from here on is split the perspective's each chapter so next chapter will be future with Sonic and Dax. And after that, It will go back to Tails Sally Amy in the past. But it may be awhile before I can find the time to work on the next chapter.
