Dart got to some interesting files and downloaded it to a driver he had.

"Got anything?" Thunder asked.

"Yup! This should be good and useful for Flare." After a few seconds, the download was complete and he took the driver out. "Ok, let's go!" The two tried and take the vent back out, but it was caged off.

"Ok, Plan B," Thunder said, flying towards the door. He busts it down and there was an army of robots. He retreated back to Dart. "Ok, plan B failed..."

"Don't worry, I got this." Dart said, his eyes glowed red and he flew into the crowd of robots. Thunder's eyes widen as all of the robots attention was put on Dart. A few seconds later, a huge heat explosion erupted from the crowd, sending most of the robots to the wall or just plain out scorching them. The blast subsided and Dart landed on the ground.

"Ok, that was cool!" Thunder said, with amazement and awe.

"Thanks! Now, Let's get this info outta here!" The two flew down the hall to the outer deck.

-Meanwhile-

Robotnik swung his spiked ball arm at the pegasus, who dodged by taking to the air. Flare charged her magic and fired a purple fireball at him, but he used his arm shield to easily block the attack.

"You gotta do more than that to take this bad boy down!" Eggman taunted. Hi-tech flew higher.

"Fine!" Hi-tech yelled "How about this?!" She dived down with a kick, aiming towards the cockpit. He shielded himself and her kick hit the shield, cracking it. She flew backward in pain.

"GAH! OW!" She rolled on the ground, holding her hoof. Flare facehoofed.

"Seriously? You hurt yourself now?"

"Here, let me put you out of your misery!" The chest plate opened and a laser began to charged and took aim at Hi-tech. It was close to firing and Flare guarded Hi-tech with a magic shield. He fired at them and Flare kept the shield up. At the very last second, when the blast subsided, her shield broke and she fell to the ground due to the impact of the blast, out cold.

"Flare!" Hi-tech went to her friend's aid. Eggman grinned.

"Don't worry, you'll be joining her soon..." He commenced the charging again, this time, more quicker. Hi-tech put Flare on her back, but couldn't take off due to her being out of shape. Eggman took aim at her and fired. She braced for impact until she felt a rush of wind. Eggman blinked and looked around for them. Hi-tech opened her eyes and looked around. She was at the top of the airship.

"How'd I get..." She turned and saw Thunder and Dart, with Flare on Thunder's back. "Oh, it's you two."

"You're welcome, now what's wrong with Flare?" Thunder asked, looking back at her.

"She took a major blow protecting me."

"Then you should get her out of her, Thunder." Dart said.

"Got it." Thunder took Flare in his forelegs and took to the air. He flew towards the castle where the attacks are getting less and less aggressive. Hi-tech and Flare Dart looked at each other.

"Thank you for saving us." She said with a smile.

"You're welcome! We need to still to take out Eggman though." He flew down to him with Hi-tech followed behind.

"No more waiting! Take this!" He swung at them, but Dart easily smashes the spiked ball. He got close and used his Raging Blast (the move he used before) against the machine. It destroys the machine with Eggman barely escaping in his Eggpod.

"Why you...! No matter, we got what we want. Tata, losers!"

He turned around and went into the captain's quarter. The two was about to give chase, but the velocity of the airship pushed them away from the ship. After a few seconds of falling, they regained themselves and saw that the airship boosted away, with the changeling army following it.
