Chapter 11, The war begins.

Resistance HQ.

After Eggman had made his speech to the world Knuckles, Tails, Silver and Amy formed a small group called the Resistance consisting of their friends and anyone else who was willing to join the battle against the Doctor's army.

The members of the Resistance was Knuckles who was the Commander, Tails who was their tech expert, Amy who was working communications, Silver who was their field team leader.

The Chaotix Vector, Espio and Charmy had joined after being called by Tails, Blaze who had come from her own dimension to help, Mighty and Ray who Knuckles had called, Rouge who was here under orders from G,U,N and Cream and Vanilla who was acting as nurses and had also brought Gemerl.

Commander Tower had given the Resistance the location of an old abandoned G,U,N base which they had turned into Resistance HQ, the base was hidden underground and away from any cities making to safe from any Eggman attacks.

Knuckles was sitting in a large room filled with wooden crates and a large computer screen on one of the walls, Amy was on the computer making sure the Resistance had everything it needed.

Tails had left to ask the Babylon rogues to join their team, Silver was helping move some supplies into the base, and the others was all fixing up the base the best they could.

"Amy did you call everyone you know" asked Knuckles, Amy nodded "Big said that he'd call us if he sees any of Eggman's robots in Mystic ruins, and Honey has agreed to donate some old clothes from her fashion studio for any refuges" she said, Knuckles smiled at the good news.

A metal door opened and Tails walked inside, "Tails what did they say" asked Knuckles, Tails sighed "Sorry but the Babylon rogues have decided to stay neutral, they don't see the point of fighting Eggman if they don't have too" he said, "I never did like Storm anyway" said Knuckles.

Mighty walked into the room effortlessly carrying a heavy crate "Good news Knuckles, this is the last of the supplies" he said, "Good, put them with the others" said Knuckles, Mighty nodded and left the room with the crate in hand.

"Amy how are our numbers looking" asked Knuckles, "Not good I'm afraid, the Resistance only has about fifty members" said Amy with a sigh, "Are you sure we can protect the whole world with such small numbers" asked Tails.

"We don't have too" said Rouge who had just entered the room, "G,U,N can protect the larger cities, we just have to worry about the smaller towns and villagers" she continued.

"Don't worry more people will join us once they see how horrible Eggman is" said Knuckles, "By the way, how much longer until Eggman's deadline is up".

Before anyone could answer the computer screen turned to static and then turned to the Eggman logo, next Eggman himself appeared.

"Greetings world, the twenty-four hours I have given you are up and I am pleased that some of you have made the right chose and joined my empire, to those who have joined me you shall be allowed to live in the new wonderful city I'm currently building, New metropolis" said Eggman.

"Now then as the twenty-four hours are up my armies will now start their attacks, but don't worry the door is always open if any of you change your minds and decide to join me, do so and I will permit you to live in one of my slightly less wonderful cities" said Eggman with a smile.

"Well goodbye everyone, I hope you will all wise up and join me, or don't it makes no difference to me if you all get blown to smithereens" said Eggman as he finished his message and the screen returned to normal.

The Death EGG, War room.

Eggman smiled as he finished his message, "Orbot give the orders for my armies to attack" he said, "Yes, at once Lord Robotnik" said Orbot as he fronted to a computer terminal so he could give the order.

Eggman turned to the copy of Shadow the hedgehog that Infinite had created, "Shadow copy go out there and destroy all who resist my rule" ordered the Doctor, the Shadow copy didn't move or acknowledge Eggman at all.

"Are you listening to me you carbon copy" said Eggman angerly, the Shadow copy still didn't respond, it just stood there, it wasn't moving or making a sound, it wasn't even blinking or breathing.

Eggman pulled out his communicator "Infinite get in here, there's something wrong with this copy you made" he shouted, after a couple of minutes Infinite entered the room, "What's the problem Doctor" he asked.

"I think this copy you created is deaf, I keep telling it to destroy my enemies but it won't listen" explained Eggman, "Copy go to Earth and destroy the Doctor's enemies" ordered Infinite.

The Shadow copy instantly obeyed Infinite's order and left the room, Eggman was confused for a second but the quickly realised what this meant but decided not to bring it up in Infinite's presence.

"Now that that's out of the way, how are you doing at creating those other copies I asked for" asked Eggman, "You tell me" said Infinite as he snapped his fingers and three new copies entered the room, one of Zavok, one of Metal sonic and one of Chaos 0.

"Yes excellent, send them out with the Shadow copy" said Eggman, "You heard him, go" said Infinite, the three copy left the room following the Shadow copy.

Infinite turned to Eggman, "You know Doctor I could create more copies, we're not limited to just one each" he said, "No, if we send out multiple copies of the same person then the world with know that their just copies" said Eggman, "Suit yourself Doctor" shrugged Infinite as he left the room.

Resistance HQ.

Everyone was together in one room discussing what their plans was, "Ok everyone that's the plan, we have to protect as many people as possible and find a way to stop Eggman, any questions" said Knuckles.

"Knuckles you forgot one thing, we also have to find Sonic" said Amy, several of the others sighed, "Amy, you heard what Eggman said, Sonic is dead" said Silver, rage instantly appeared in Amy's eyes, "I don't believe it, Sonic can't be dead" she shouted.

"I agree with Amy, just because Eggman said Sonic was dead that doesn't mean it's true" said Tails, "I bet Sonic's out there somewhere" said Charmy, "Nothing could kill that guy" said Ray, it was clear that about half of the Resistance believed that Sonic was still alive.

"Don't worry we'll keep an eye open for any sign of Sonic, anything else" said Knuckles, "I have a question, what about the Chaos emeralds, do we know where they are" asked Silver.

"The Chaotix searched high and low, and have managed to find three of the emeralds" said Knuckles as he opened a steel case revelling the yellow, white and light blue Chaos emeralds.

"Shadow had one of the emeralds with him when I last saw him" said Rouge, "And since he's working with Eggman I guess that means the Doctor has it now" said Silver.

"I'm still not convinced that Shadow is really working with Eggman" said Rouge, Silver facepalmed "Why does everyone refuse to accept the facts, Sonic's dead and Shadow turned against us" he said.

Everyone started to argue until Knuckles punched the table silencing everyone, "Everyone we should be fighting Eggman not ourselves" he said, just as Knuckles finished an alarm went off and the computer screen changed.

Tails ran up to the computer and started typing, "Guys, Eggman's started his attack" he said, "where's he attacking" asked Knuckles, "Hundreds of cities and towns across the world" said Tails with a hint of panic in his voice.

"Ok everyone this is it, the war for the planet has started, lets show Eggman that the world will never bow down to him" said Knuckles.
