Sonic: Chaos Theory
Chapter 12
Aerial Defense
The nearest GUN base to the Doctors air fleet was the Aerotech Facility to the West. By now, the Artificial Chaos have flooded the base and almost seized control. As Rouge the Bat soared across the sky toward the island base, she could clearly see from the great distance that it was torn to rubble, not a single GUN soldier or scientist left. The base was both destroyed and calm. "Those rotten bastards! I'll have to show them what happens when you wreck all those valuables!"
Before she knew it, a small fleet of Chaos Pods bolted toward her. The Pods are designed as small, yet destructive orbs with a 360 degree rotation laser and can turn on a dime at five hundred miles an hour. "Bring it, scrap-bots." She reaches out to grab one and it forces her into a spin, but she uses it to her advantage by spinning her claws into the next one and throws it into the ground. As the others approach, she licks her fingers and picks up a few drops of her blood, and her cravings begin.
A light purple mist seeps from under her wings as her eyes glow indigo, and her wings spread like deadly shadows over the opposing Chaos. The mist quickly spreads across the skies and down to the base, daring the power from every last Chaos these and turning them to nothing but metal skeletons with empty batteries. Suddenly, Rouge falls from the skies and lands in the base, passed out, among the graveyard of Chaos. As she faintly wakes, a rough and familiar voice beckons her.
"Rouge? Hellooooo? You ok?" The purple chameleon shook her slightly to be sure.
"Yeah Espio, I'm fine. Now get off me before I take my cravings out on you."
Rouge had recently tested and enlisted Espio to the GUN army only a month ago, and he has become one of their most valuable members, alongside her and their top agent, Shadow. His stealth comes handy in infiltration missions, and his ninja training makes him deadly in combat against defensive opponents.
"This base is clear, but the GUN Airbase is currently under heavy siege and needs our help."
"Easy, this is the Aerotech Facility. Get us a rocket and we can both be there in a few minutes." Rouge walked toward a room at the center of the base that the Chaos had not reached yet. The launch pad sat in the center of the tower, and a rocket awaited them on top of it. "Just give me a few minutes to reset the autopilot and we'll be on our way.."
