Episode 6: When Angels Fall
Ch.1: Robotnink's Rage
For the first time in the Sonic Underground's history they were pulling off a raid without the help of Manic. Having a former theif on the team had proven quite useful on past assignments, but now the team had to try even harder to find their way inside Robotnink's Swatbot factories.
The plan was simple. While Sonic ran around distracting the guards Sonia would sneak into the plant through the airducts and plant the bombs in the main factory. All that was left to do after that was escape before the expolsoin. For safety Queen Alena was ordered to stay at the Freedom Fighter base.
Taking his cue Sonic swooped in and grabbed the guards attention allowing Sonia to sneak her way into the airducts. But as she was making her to Swatbot central the sound of Robotnink's voice suddenly caught her attention.
" I had enough of this" said Robotnink " no matter what I try it's been failure after failure, and all because of those annoying hedgehogs,"
"What do you plan to do about it Your Excellency?" asked Sleet.
" If none of my machines are worthy enough to take on the hedgehogs" said Robotnink " then maybe a more powerful source is required. Prepare the attack fleet, we're going to invade Angel Island,"
"Oh no" thought Sonia " Knuckles!"
Although worried sick about what Robotnink had planned for her friend Sonia finished her part of the mission and managed to escape just minutes before the explosion. When Sonic came back to meet his sister at the redevous point he could immediately tell something was up by the look on her face.
"Sis, what's wrong?" asked Sonic.
"Sonic" said Sonia " Knuckles is in great danger,"
Later when Queen Alena heard about this she agreed with Sonia that they must fly to Angel Island at once to warn Knuckles of the oncoming danger. The echidna was surprised to have guests later that night.
"What are you guys doing here?" asked Knuckles as the Sonic Underground arrived.
"Robotnink has got a whole attack fleet coming to take over Angel Island" said Sonic " he must be after the Chaos Emerald,"
"Well he's going to have a tough time finding it" said Knuckles " I hid it back in the Sacred Shrine. The place is so well hidden no one can find it. But just in case I'll activate the defenses anyway,"
After the island defenses were set up Knuckles seemed to notice that someone from the group was missing.
" Hey" he asked " where's Manic?"
"After we told him what happened at Robotnink's base" said Sonia " he left the Sonic Underground,"
"We haven't seen him for weeks now" said Sonic " there's no telling where he can be,"
Before Queen Alena could change the subject to something of a less troubling mood a horrible scream suddenly pierced through the sky making everyone look up in worry. And boy did they have something to worry about.
For in the sky about of dozen of Robotnink's ships were approaching Angel Island at top speed, their exterior lights giving the fleet a domiant and eerie looking appearence.
Sonic and Sonia couldn't believe how many Swatbots and Stealthbots were on those ships. And of course resting on the biggest ship of all was the regular trio of terror contianing Robotnink, Sleet, and Dingo.
" Hope your ready for a fight Knuckles" said Sonic " 'cause it's going to take everything we got to stay alive,"
