EXT-EGG FORTRESS-Night
(Red walks over to Barret, Naruto, and Tails in a sassy manner, which angers Barret a bit, seeing her in his daughter's image.)
(The 2 of the dozens of eggbots surrounding the three walks over and cuffs them in special hi-tech handcuffs, excepts for Barret who just casually removes every single bullet from his gun-arm.)
Red: (In Marlene's voice) Hi, daddy!
(Nearly furious at this point, Barret tries his best to remain calm and carry out a conversation with Red, though she's not making it easy for him and she knows it perfectly well.)
Barret: (Flustered) Can you PLEASE you turn into your regular form?
Red: (Pouts) Aw, you're no fun, daddy, but if you insist…
(Red Eyes shifts into her regular form, shifting into a beautiful woman with long white hair, ruby-red eyes, blue skin in her mid-30's wearing a tight leather suit with exposed arms and thighs with knee-high heeled boots.)
(Red strikes a pose in front of the boys.)
Red: (Cherrie) Fully matured!
Naruto: Yeah, from a little girl to an old hag.
(Red quickly shoots her leg out, extending it towards Naruto's stomach with a frontal kick.)
Naruto: GUH!
(Naruto drops down on one knee from Red's painful cybernetic leg as she extends it back to reconnect it.)
Tails: (Worried) Naruto!
Red: (Serious) Manner's, child...
Red: Now, let's get to the point because as much as I'd like to do more mind games, it's getting later and later and I've got better things to do.
Naruto: (Angry) Like hurting more people and taking away their homes?
(Red shoots out her fist like a rocket, punching Naruto square in the nose, knocking him back to the ground.)
Tails: (Worried) Naruto!
INT-Barret's Ship-Night
(On the outside of the forcefield where the others are, Drake and an anxious Vector look outside watching the action take place.)
Drake: Calm down, we just need to wait for the signal.
Vector: I am calm...just wish it was me out there instead of Barret.
Vector: I can't imagine what might be going on his head with Red playing with his mind like that.
(Cut back to the entrance of the Egg fortress.)
Red: So, here's the ultimatum, and it's quite reasonable, I assure you.
Red: You will surrender yourself and serve under the Eggman Empire, in return, your allies and daughter will be set free, so long as they leave town.
Barret: Why so interested in me all of a sudden?
Barret: We've been at each other's neck's for over a month and now you want me to join you?
Red: Of course, you've proven to be quite a useful tool to Eggman after you've destroyed half my forces.
Red: After doing some digging, he was fully sold on the idea when he heard you had a hand in Sephiroth's demise.
Tails: (Sephiroth?)
Red: So, what do you say, reasonable enough?
Barret: If I surrender, I'll be roboticized, won't I?
Red: Of course, it's the only way to prove and submit yourself fully to the Eggman Empire.
Red: Serve him well, and you'll be one of his top generals in no time.
(Red is waiting for an answer, she looks down with her eyes alone seeing Barret ball his fist.)
Red: Galore!
(The 8ft tall knight bot walks over outside, carrying the roped up Marlene.)
Barret: (Worried) Marlene!
Red: Here's some motivation, he won't kill her...
Red: (Nonchalant) But a tight little twisting of the arm shouldn't do much...besides hurt like hell, BUT I'll leave that up to you.
(Marlene yells out to her father, despite having her mouth taped.)
(Naruto has seen and heard enough as he slowly raises up and wipes the blood running from his nose after being punched.)
Naruto: (Angry) She's just a little kid, leave her out of this!
(Red extends her arm out to Naruto, grabbing him by the neck and places a strong grip around his throat.)
Tails: (Worried) Naru-
Red: HUSH!
(After shutting Tails up with his repetitive shouting, she turns her attention toward Naruto)
Red: (Stern) One more lip out of you and I'll crush your pipe, the adults are talking.
(Rather than talking due to being strangled, Naruto struggles to get wiggle loose, but it does him no good, especially being handcuffed.)
Red: (Nonchalant) Yes or no, Barret?
Red: We don't have all night.
(Barret looks, gritting his teeth in frustration, then looks straight at Red, glaring at her furious scowl.)
(Barret raises his hand, giving her a thumbs up.)
(Red is quite dumbfounded by this but glad it didn't have to resort to violence, saving her the trouble of having a long battle.)
Red: (Dumbfounded) Not the kind of answer I was expecting in hand gesture, but smart man.
Red: (Calling) Galore, drop the girl...gently, but let her go.
Red: Now on your knees.
(Barret slowly puts his thumb down.)
Red: !?
(Suddenly, cartoony-like bombs begin falling from above, landing on the egg bots surrounding Barret's hoverjet.)
Red: (Angered) WHAT!?
(While Red is distracted, Barret fires at Red's arm, making her drop Naruto.)
Barret: (Smirks) Had one bullet left.
(Before Redstrikes back, she looks up and spots Charmy and Tails flying up in the air causing the bombardment.)
Charmy: Eat this, you faker!
(Charmy throws two bombs at the force field generators, bringing the forcefield around the Egg Fortress down.)
*Flashback*
(We flashback to the hoverjet where Tails formulated his plan to the group.)
Tails: Usually a fortress will have guards and most likely a forcefield, I'll use the bombs I made to mow down as many as I can on the outside along with the shield generators.
Charmy: Count me in too, I want payback!
(Cut back to Red.)
Red: But who-
(With her back turned, the other Tails throws 5 shurikens at Red, but she easily swats them away when she quickly turns around.)
(The other Tails is revealed to be Ibuki, who used the transformation jutsu.)
*Flashback*
(We flashback to the inside of jet again, continuing with showing how the plan went into action.)
Drake: You forgot one thing, Tails, they still want you and Narts.
Tails: That's where Naruto comes in, he'll use one of his clones and transform into me.
(Now that he thinks about it, Tails is a little unsure if Naruto could use both jutsu at the same time since he hasn't fully grasped how ninjutsu works.)
Tails: You can do that, right?
Naruto: Of course, that's easy.
Ibuki: I can do that too, let me be Tails and you can be yourself.
Naruto: Even better, two ninjas catching her by surprise!
Ibuki: (Embarrassed) But I sorta forgot how to do the hand sign, can you jog my memory?
(Ibuki was clearly lying about knowing transformation jutsu, Naruto wonders this, but complies.)
Naruto: (Confused) (How do you forget something so basic?)
Espio: Make that "Three Ninjas."
(Naruto and Ibuki turn to Espio.)
Espio: In case things go south, I'll sneak inside with the three of you undetected.
(Cut back to Red)
Red: Galore, tear the girl apart!
Galore: I have lost sight of the child.
(Red looks around, but Marlene is nowhere to be found.)
(We then cut to the nearest rooftop on a metal building where Espio and Marlene appear after turning off his camouflage mode.)
Espio: Stay here and wait for Charmy, he'll come to get you.
(Espio whistles, giving Charmy the signal to fly their way.)
(Seemingly backed into a corner, Barret reloads his arm-gun, as Ibuki helps break Naruto out of his cuffs by lockpicking it.)
Barret: Whole plan's gone to shit, Red, now bout' I give YOU an ultimatum?
(Barret reloads his gun and points it at Red.)
Barret: Surrender yourself to us and I want have to shoot a bitch.
Barret: I've never done that a day in my life to one, but don't make me start!
(Red begins to snicker.)
Naruto: What's so funny?
(Ibuki looks up in horror.)
Ibuki: (Nervous) Guys...
(Galor leaps into action behind Red, making a small explosion of dirt on the ground blowing Naruto and the others back.)
Red: Ha, you all think you have me beat.
Red: "Naruto", was it?
Red: You may have beaten my dumbshit of a brother, but don't think that just because we're both generals that we're on the same wavelenght of power.
(Naruto slowly gets up and shifts into battle position.)
Naruto: (Smirks) Don't worry, I didn't think that for a second when you laid the first hit on me.
(Red smiles, feeling quite flattered from Naruto's response.?
Naruto: You're also much better looking.
Red: Why thank you-
Naruto: (Smug) For an old blue hag!
Red: (Frowning) …
(Red's arms shift into razor-sharp blades and sprouts out a bionic tail from her lower spine with a blade shaped like an arrowhead at the tip of it.)
Ibuki: (Nervous) I think you pissed her off.
Barret: (Disappointed) Why'd you have to go and piss her off?
Naruto: (Wry) I'm sorry…
*Pause*
