Chapter 28:
Tails got up, always the early riser in the group, gt up to make his coffee and turn on the TV. He moved to make sure Knuckles and Sonic didn't awake, though with Sonic it wouldn't be that big of a deal to keep him asleep.
He went into medical room first, tending to Marine's wounds, then giving Cream more medicine. The experience with Seth truly traumatized her, and she ended up with a sickness like the flu, but in many ways different. He didn't know much about it, but he knew that she just had to ride out this one out.
He sighed and walked into the living room with his coffee, and turned on the TV. This leadership stuff is much harder than it sounds.
His thoughts immediately went away when he heard the TV emergency report come on, leaving him speechless.
"THE SRMF, OF SOLEANNA ROYAL MILITARY FORCE, HAD DECTECTED THOUSANDS OF FLEETS HAEDING TOWARDS THEIR SHORES. A CLOSER LOOK REVEALS THAT THE DARKNESS NAVY IS HEADING TOWARDS SOLEANNA IN AN ALL OUT ATTACK. SOVEREIGN PRINCESS ELISE THE THIRD BEGS ANY HERO WHO IS AVILABLE TO COME TO COME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE THEY WILL NEED ALL THE HELP THEY CAN GET. THAT IS FROM GUN NEWS, YOUR ULTIMATE UNTIED FEDERATION NEW SERVICE."
The cup of coffee shattered on the wooden floor as fast yet hard footsteps raced off to the emergency button on the other side. Red lights blared throughout the base as the heroes raced towards the workshop, stacking up on weapons and waking themselves up quickly.
A moment later, numerous voices yelled, "Chaos Control!" as the base was lit by a green light. When it was gone, the base was completely empty, save for Marine and Cream, the rabbit just beginning to wake up, and small note taped to the side of her medical bed.
Hundreds of heroes stood on the shoreline of New City, Soleanna's harbor, looking out onto the horizon, where small blips could be seen, the sun right above them as the sky began to turn blue.
"Good news," Tails relayed, "GUN's heading over here right now despite the fact we're not in the United Federation to help out. We'll need it."
At least a good half and hour passed, the blips doubling in size as the sun was almost right in between them and their attackers. The heroes were still tense, knowing that any moment of hesitation could give them the chance to attack.
As they watched, a small ball sized object flew from one of the ships, heading straight towards them. As it came closer, it turned out to be purple in color. Sonic suddenly flipped back, and with good reason. A huge explosion ripped out from it, blowing out every window in the area and throwing some of the heroes back into the harbor cargo.
"Shit!" Shadow yelled as he looked up. Winged pawns sailed through the air, dropping the same purple balls onto the ground, creating huge explosions that even knocked over some buildings with their ballistic capabilities.
Tails didn't understand what he was getting so worked up about. All they did was create huge explosions. He then realized what they were really for when a red armored claw smashed into his chest, causing him to fly across the harbor.
The other heroes instantly found themselves thrown into battle when the realization hit Tails. Each orb that exploded contained ten elite pawns each, and with the number that just did, this was going to be the fight of their lives.
Team Dark rushed at two orbs that exploded, quickly going on the offensive. Shadow warped numerous times, snapping the neck of each pawn he went by. As the six that neared him fell, he leaped at another group farther away, leaving the rest of his team to take out their share.
Rouge spun rapidly into a Screw Kick, plowing right through three of them. As a Giant Pawn came near her, ready to smash its club like weapon over her head, she concentrated her energy to her leg and thrust it upwards in a high-kick, splitting the pawn down the middle with little effort.
"Take a look at that Slicer Kick!" Rouge shouted as she took to the skies, leaving Omega with the last ten. As two came from the left and right, he spun his entire upper body around with his claws out, skewering them. The last eight rushed from the front, their claws outstretched to do some serious damage. However, they would never get the chance as Omega opened his hidden missile compartments, and fired out ten Omega Missiles, each one locked on to an individual pawn.
As those pawns fell, Omega looked over to his comrades, who were situated around Silver, who closed his eyes and held out his PK emitting hand. He frowned, and let go of the energy.
"Not only are they attacking from the front, but from the back and sides," Silver confirmed, listening to his transmission from Tails as he looked at his fellow comrades, "Teams Rose and Chaotix will head straight back, while Hyron will head to one side and we'll head to the other. Sonic and Dark will stay here, unless other instructions are given."
The heroes nodded and rushed off towards their locations, defeating enemies as they moved to where they needed to be.
In the forest, Silver held up a forcefield as pawns began to bang on it loudly. He then growled, "You guys are really annoying, you know that?"
He then expanded his forcefield as pawns went flying all over the place, even into the trees. As more orbs flew through the air, he held his arm up, freezing them in place as he tossed them back at the ships.
Blaze kicked five orbs away in quick succession, not even giving the enemy a chance to attack. One orb escaped her grasp, but as it hit the ground, a dozen white orbs entered the explosion, causing every pawn to fall with at least one fatal injury to them.
The team gathered together as more orbs came and shouted, "Team Blast! Psycho Triple Burst!"
Silver put his PK around both Blaze and Marine with each of his hands. Blaze then spun rapidly as flames shrouded her. Silver used his arm to aim her toward each orb, destroying them as Marine shot a large amount of blasts, each white one surrounded by a shell of PK to add to their destructive capabilities. Silver then pulled both of them back as they Blaze threw a fireball and Marine threw a big white blast. Silver then released PK on his teammates and put it around the blasts, fusing them together to create a fireball with white and teal energy swirling around it, maximizing its power.
A massive explosion eliminated all of the orbs flying towards them, but as more came they realized this would be no walk in the park.
Gemini tore apart a line of oncoming orbs with his Dark Fang Launcher while Lunar was positioned behind him, taking out any pawns that managed to land. Vibra was one top of the roofs with some other heroes, firing their projectile attacks with Vibra leading them in taking out the winged pawns that seemed to be bothering everyone in their progress.
A Giant Pawn landed a few meters away from Gemini, and as he approached, Lunar used his energy to propel him forward from the back and bottom while silver energy concentrated around his sword, rocketing him forward while he took one massive swing at the Giant Pawn slicing the monster in half and crushing its club like weapon. Lunar appeared right behind him then stated, "That Silver Splitter has to be my greatest innovation yet!"
Sonic ran throughout the city, giving fast hits to each pawn to take care of them quickly.
He stopped however when an orb, this one made of black metal, crashed through a row of buildings, leaving a huge hole. Sonic went through it by leaping into the air and spinning into his ball form. When he came out on the other side, he found Erazor Djinn standing up out of the metal orb, smirking as he pulled out his folding razor.
"Here we meet again, you blue rat!" Erazor spat, spinning his folding razor around in the air by his chain. With a flick of his hand, the razor spun at Sonic. A moment later, debris flew through the already damaged structure, tumbling along the ground and rolling in the air.
Knuckles climbed up the bell structure with great speed, his sharp knuckles digging into one place, then digging higher up the next fraction of a second.
The plan Tails thought of was genius. There were enough bells in different locations that they could have one animaloid make their way up there, and when help was needed, they could just smash the bell so they know where reinforcements should be sent.
He continued climbing, but suddenly stopped and leaped to the side, quickly grabbing hold of the structure as a long, scaly arm stretched past him, hitting a good ways behind him and tearing out numerous slabs of concrete.
The red echidna looked up to see Naga climbing downwards towards him, using his stretchy arms to move faster than Knuckles could possibly have.
"Die!" Naga hissed as he swung his arm downward at Knuckles, where it grew in length to the point of hitting Knuckles.
Huge pieces of concrete fell out of a cloud of smoke, with a red animaloid falling through the air next to it.
