Chapter Eleven "Pushed Down"
Something closed in around her as she breathed loudly and started lashing out with her fists.
A glowing red color set off from her gold gloves as she shoved a slow punch in the attacker's direction.
This was no ordinary enemy for Angie, Eggman's MLbots were quick to shove her to the ground and when she tried to get up there was another behind her, and another, and another.
Gizmo and Mint were considering calling for help, if not for finding themselves in the same situation.
Glowing red eyes covered all their ways of escape.
A scanned red glow went up and down the foxes.
Gizmo stood firmly in front, knowing how robots normally attack.
"It's impossible for me to even think of crashing a system like this." Gizmo thought. "But I can't just let her get cornered too."
"Mint I'll distract them, you run." Gizmo said in a loud whisper as he became more and more nervous.
"But you can't fight them off alone." Mint said concerned.
"You're too young to handle them, you'll be taken down and I'll have to see it." Gizmo said in an almost commanding way, desperately trying to get her to safety.
Angie's distraction would not stop the robots for long; at the very moment they were collecting the data to best defeat them all.
Gizmo's sentence tore through her like tissue paper.
The cute and innocence was locked away and she struck one with all her might.
As one fell the robots were no longer distracted.
Angie tried pulling away as they darted at Mint.
Standing on one of the MLbots she tore right through its robotic head, pulling out wires, stopping its system.
The glowing redness got brighter as the robots jerked their metal limbs backwards and clenched their metal hands together in a battle pose.
Mint's breath sounded hard loud and hot and her cute eyes lost all of that, when she looked back at Gizmo she smiled as if proving herself just then.
"NEVER EVER say I'm too young for something." She said confidently kicking the damaged robot two feet.
Gizmo didn't know what in the world just happened, he'd NEVER seen Mint do something like that, a pure moment of rage from an otherwise optimistic person.
But he started thinking this was an ill move.
One of the robots had watched the other torn down by Mint's move, and was copying the way she did it, which would be fatal if she got too close to it.
The other ones were fixed on Gizmo because of the robotic pieces he installed, making it much easier to scan and copy his movements.
The one on top of Angie was using the same technique used on Lex before his final distress, and Angie could feel it digging her into the ground bound to make a move on the back of her head, but what gave her a secure feeling was knowing the spot in the back of her head was emerald hard, that would be one of her last defenses if she didn't get it off of her in time, and she hoped badly it would reflect the attack or act as a tiny emerald shield.
The robot's fist lifted and at that moment Angie took the time to flip over, loosing the chance for the attack to be reflected.
But she did have the chance to fight back, the fist dug into her palms and she grunted and groaned trying to push the weight of the attack off her, but it seemed to be building strength.
All of a sudden a spark set in her mind, she realized how it was building strength.
Eggman's robots before were always able to build energy from chaos emeralds, and the emerald energy Angie naturally produced was feeding to its strength.
Gizmo was head to head with four robots, they were trying to trip him so they could dig him into the ground but his footing was too well placed, after that they tried using their copied moves and attacked every time he tried to blow, hitting his wounds and scratches and any way they could find to harm him.
Red stains appeared everywhere and Mint tried pushing five of them off of him.
She saw Gizmo being struck and tried to get to him, but Angie was in a much worse situation.
"He's going to push her right into the ground…" she thought.
At this moment Tim was lucky to not be shot at this time, something was stirring inside him, something too hard to explain, and something almost sinister wanting to escape.
And as he started thinking angry thoughts…her ear twitched again, something different began happening.
He began seeing somebody's thoughts in his mind, vibrant red tinted visions.
The robots took no mind carrying him over one of their backs with his hands pulled behind his back, leaving him to see the area where we stood get smaller and farther in the distance.
"What..." was the only word he could think as the picture in his mind got more vibrant and took over his eyesight.
His ears struck upright and his eyes staid in place.
He saw how nice his life was before Flame got involved with the chaos that seemed to follow close behind Trixie.
And saw himself ignored and even pushed away, he started not feeling guilt and neglect but felt this deep anger inside.
Vengeful thoughts clouded his mind, when his ears were able to be move the picture was gone and he could move his eyes, but the thoughts were still there.
"This is all their fault!" he screamed inside his mind, he struggled in vain as the metal machines pressed on completely ignoring him. "When I get out of this…I'll make them all pay…"
