Hello, this is Big Red here. The new chapter should finally be up now that we are in the month pf the true holidays. There is not much to say except we will finally see what will go on in the Lost Hex. I know some of you wanted to see the party happen without all the chaos, but we really have to move the story along with scenes that should be important. Maybe when we revisit the New Blue Rogues alliance, I may consider a flashback of the best moments. That being said, let's get things started.

The Vashyron Mercenaries would be less than thrilled at seeing some all enemies this soon again. Despite their former allegiance with the Rowen Cardinal, Sullivan was still part of the project that made Leanne and Zephyr who they were as experiments to test the immortality by the Zenith core and Basel system. The last time they've fought was because Sullivan and Rebecca wanted to test the limits of their bodies as they found ways to make themselves immortal without the need of Zenith's abilities nor the quartzes of Basel. These two always wanted to find a way that humans would live without the system in their own country as the thought of needing an outdated purification system to keep humanity alive for so long. Their motives were mysterious, not that it really stopped their less than good deeds regarding the creation of Leanne and Zephyr as genetically created humans. Rebecca is the same, although her modifications left her in a very feral state and needing blood to function unlike most humans. As if the tail and fleshy wings weren't enough signs of her scientific genetic background. Her ability of speech is also limited, leaving her to vocalize like an animal save for one word she managed to learn after years of being with Sullivan. Seeing Vashyron this serious when seeing an old foe even surprised BD Joe at how alarming he can be when he's not playing around. Zephyr really wanted to pull out his guns very badly for the first shot, but knew he had to respect the no violence rule at the party these Maboo people tried so hard to set up. Leanne gulps as all she could remember when looking at Sullivan is her past and who she was meant to be a recreation of. The beloved sister of Rowen Cardinal that he always wanted to bring back despite the rules of death for the Zenith system. Everyone knew that the atmosphere would turn from merry to less than happy with the arrival of this mysterious guest.

"I forgot to mention this to you three, Sullivan always wanted to have a word with you since we saved them in Speed Highway. It's something important which I hope you understand and try not to ignore him despite your complicated history with them. We kept a close eye on the two, they are not enemies when even the Legion almost killed them for spying on them," Sam said.

"Then you should had let them die right there. We will not think about forgiving them one bit. Not after being involved in almost everything that put innocent lives in danger within Basel. These two are not to be trusted in any way," Vashyron said.

"How's that immortality treating you? Just hearing you almost died when messing with the Legion alone makes me almost wish it happened. Then we wouldn't have to think about or see you two again," Zephyr said.

Rebecca then snarls loudly at his rude words, then going on to guttural animalistic noises as if she were trying to chew him out in her own underdeveloped language. This strange language would lead Alex Kidd and Billy to be completely confused as in what she meant by her bestial threats. Toejam would be creeped out as if she were in cahoots with that Devil he runs into a few times on Earth. Pikachu slightly growled with sparks in his cheeks as if this is another possible victim for his electricity.

"Easy there, yellow mouse. They are not an enemy. We should let them speak whichever words they have for their old friends," Joker said.

At the same time, the Phantom Thief really wonders what their true motives were.

"Who's these losers? And what do they mean about immortality?" Wario said.

"I think it's best to listen. We are just now learning about our new Marine allies after all," Ryu said with his arms crossed.

Sullivan would put his hand on the angry Rebecca's shoulder and strokes it to calm his genetically modified friend down as if he did not want to come off as too unprofessional in front of everyone. The winged girl is still not forgiving the volatile behavior Vashyron and Zephyr had for her only friend that made her immortal without the need of the Zenith system.

"Just a reminder, let us all take a step back and not think about any severe fights. This is between them. Just allow the Basel residents to talk it out as they wanted to do this for a while. You three better listen to them closely because they waited for you," Dan Marshall warned.

"Understood. I apologize on the behalf of these two since they were always reckless. I am willing to give anyone the benefit of doubt and listen to them," Leanne said.

Zephyr is less than thrilled about being called reckless by someone he loves despite there being some truth to that statement.

"Or maybe we have our reasons to not like these two as they are our enemies. Leanne, do not forget that him and Cardinal Rowen were the ones that had you as a lab rat experiment along with Zephyr. Do not forget who saved you, I have my reasons to not liking these two. Whatever talk they have is probably just an excuse to win us over," the ponytailed man said.

"Wrong, I am only undoing our past wrongdoings. The Cardinal was a tool used by the Legion. Back in Basel, I heard news of his arrival and witnessed the attack on our city by the Legion. What used to be the tower that housed the core that gives you extended life is now swallowed in Subspace. Rebecca and I had always been on a long journey to watch their every move and think of ways to undo their rampage. We may be selfish in wanting to do away with the outdated system of needing crystals to judge our life, but we will protect our home from being enslaved by a group of monsters that want to use these methods for our own use. Rowen was always a lost fool, but to see him casually working with these villains under the promise of bringing Leanne's former self back only inspired me to find ways to undo their damage. It does not help that they actually found my old lab and started researching ways to give their own troops immortality. I wanted to be the one to stop them once my lab was raided, but knew that being found out too soon would had been a terrible idea. You see, we are not enemies anymore but have our own goals that relate to saving our home," Sullivan explains clearly.

Everyone would grow cautious upon learning that there is a way of being immortal and the Legion managed to get their hands on the notes along with the methods to learn this way for their own use. Mario did not like the way this sounds as this is something big the Smash organization should pay close attention to at all costs. Zobio is surprised that humans can learn ways of living forever without needing to be a mutated or artificially created undead creature like his fellow zombies. Samus knew that this would only be seen as dangerous if the Space Pirates were to somehow get their hands on something like this, as if the universe is not in bigger danger than before. Vashyron knew that this would be best taken serious to learn that Sullivan is foolish enough to let his years of research fall into the wrong hands for others to use.

"Big deal, your super secret immortality secret is out. You are only at fault for leaving your own lab unprotected in the first place. I bet that Rowen is rolling in his grave to know that his own colleague made a mistake that foolish," Zephyr said angrily.

"Actually, he is alive. Still out there trying to find his way after he opened his eyes to just how uncaring the Legion is. They only gather villains and use their desires to become so united. Just hearing that he wanted nothing to do with that necromancing giant at least gave me some hope that he is not the same man he used to be," Sullivan replied.

"You got to be joking. Shadow and I watched him die in Red Mountain and I even left him to bury the man after he accepted his death. He is not even immortal unlike you," the blonde boy barked.

"I would have to remind you once more that I was there to overhear and spy on the Legion while they were recovering for their defeat at your group's hands. That giant revived him from the dead in hopes of using him once more, he refused and was left alone in Red Mountain to mourn his own mistakes of joining the Legion. It was a miracle that I managed to convince his remaining men to side with me and try a surprise attack on the Legion were weak. Little did we know that they still had superior numbers and were close to destroying the bodies of Rebecca and I had the Marines not jumped in to save us. Still, I should be disappointed in myself for failing to fulfill a promise for the Rowen of bringing his men back safely. Rebecca also risked her life to save my battered body when it fell from a great height and pushed her own limits trying to fend off the Legion's brainwashed police force. But knowing the Rowen is still out there is only a sign that we need to find him soon enough. He may not be the greatest asset, but would be great use to us with his connections in Basel. If the Marines speak true of that storm reviving all living things, the other Cardinals would be some great use to us for this war," Sullivan once again explains.

Gilius knew too well on what he meant by giant when it would be none other than Death Adder who once again cheats death because of his own power and helped revived anyone important to the Legion before that storm was created.

"So the crazed man finally realized that he is easy to use if it means bringing his wife sister back from the dead. At least that somewhat redeems him in my eyes when I thought he never learned from his mistakes after we spared him. And what makes you think the Cardinals will willing work with use knowing we fought them all that long ago? They are spoiled aristocrats that care about no lives other than their own while they have so much power in Basel," Vashyron said.

"That power they no longer have anymore with the many civilians possessed by the Legion's monsters. All Cardinals went into hiding due to the attacks, still waiting for the right moment to reclaim their seats once more. But like I've said, they know me well thanks to Rowen's talks of the last project. If we were to get them on our side, we may have the bigger numbers to contend with the Legion. It's a foolproof plan that we need to give a chance," the glasses wearing man said after adjusting his spectacles.

"Which is a good one. We are all about talking tactics into hands and consider the best ones. I quite like this one," Jake Wade said.

"I also agree, more numbers the better. They may be demagogues, but their city is now under control of forces they know combating will not be easy with smaller numbers. Sullivan has a great brain worth following," Kelly said.

"I may steal the hearts of the most wicked, but this plan is worth a shot. Count me in on this plan to win the hearts of former power abusers," Joker said with a smile.

"How about we all sit back and think about this for a second? Teaming up with our worst enemies that ruled Basel with an iron fist before the Legion attacked is a crazy idea. I can't believe all of you are instantly siding with a man that used me as some weapon before I left with Vashyron. I still refuse to even think about forgiving this loser. Over my dead by that I think about cooperating with him," Zephyr barked.

"Well hey, pipsqueak. If we can work with a couple of flesh eating zombies that were created by Curien, then you can be a man with your big boy balls and work with him," Washington shouts.

"That's right. But to correct you Baldy, we are strictly flesh vegans. We only eat the flesh of animals instead of feeding on humans or our own. Curien may rag on us for being too soft and not the destructive monsters he want us to be, but we do not mind being what we are," the zombie husband said.

"And I will remind you that here I am eating normal food despite being dead. Do I look like the Bride of Frankenstein who mindlessly destroy everything and eat brains?" Varla said to Washington's annoyance.

"That reminds me, you and your glasses wearing friend still owe the entire mansion an apology for shooting them all to death. We may be zombies, but we are not the heartless monsters your government think we are. Even my husband and I inspired all of them to become as civil as us overtime," Zobiko said.

"Well, most of them. Some like Justice is still hard to tame with his aggressive personality. That's why we had an excuse to hold him down from attacking us," Zobio said with a smile.

"You all expect an apology after many of them tried to attack us? Bitch, you are out of your freaking mind if you expect us to not act like we are told under government orders!" Washington replied.

"We are sorry. You are right and we did feel like we caused enough casualties there under the impression your kind are just unintelligent monsters that still spread your diseases to innocent humans that stumble upon that mansion. We were more stopping Curien after we heard he was somehow alive and stole Varla's brain from the government," G said.

"Why thank you, Mr G. Maybe that bald foul mouthed friend of yours should learn a thing or two about not discriminating on zombie kind like we are always a threat to humanity. It's like he is always so grouchy for having us in his head rent free," the blonde zombie wife said sarcastically.

Even Varla had a chuckle out of her fellow zombie's statement which did not amuse Washington the slightest.

"I am Space Micheal and I approve of this moral. There is one thing we shouldn't do and it's to discriminate. Not when the very universe we share is in grave danger. Instead, we all should put our differences aside and united to defeat a common enemy that wants to remove our own universe for one to benefit them," the Space Channel 5 CEO announced.

"This is part of why we as the Smash Brothers exists. To unite many different heroes and villains to protect the universe as a large force. Unfortunately, the villains think that they can bend the rules to defile what we stand for as a group. This is all more of a reason why we will do everything we can to put them in their place," Marth said.

"Maybe that is why your group is disorganized from the start, putting hope in evildoers to follow your rules and save lives when that is not in their interests," Astal said.

"Astal, may I reminder you we have an active hitman and an organ harvesting agent as allies? But at least they are still great assets to the Marines," Tempo said.

"Don't forget a few street punks too. And they are the brawn we need to take down our enemies," Hiroki said.

"On our side, we have a few thieves who still need a royal buttkicking for letting Eggman have the last Chaos Emerald," Knuckles said.

"Will ya give us a freakin break? We already said that we are sorry and you are still ragging on us for losing that red rock to the fat man. He is a trickster and we just fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker. Just stop it with the guilt tripping," Mobo beamed.

"He's right. They made a mistake, you should just give it a rest. We will get that emerald back soon when the time is right. At least we have three and did not let NIGHTS get away with it. On top of freeing him from his former creator's control," BD Joe said.

"We all are different and need to learn to get along. This is why we all need to do this for our universe. To stop Eggman and his many allied forces of our own enemies. Isn't that right?" Sonic said.

"Yeah!" the Sega Superstars said in unison.

"You all seem to be in agreement with my plan. And here I though you all would agree with Zephyr because of our complicated past. But that aside, you three need to put your grudge with Rebecca and I aside for once. We have a way that will put Basel in a better condition than it is now. The Cardinals are all great assets to consider given their common knowledge. Rowen is also an option if we can somehow make it to Red Mountain without being spotted by the Legion. If they are all still there as we speak," Sullivan said.

Vashyron is still not sold on trusting the bespectacled man, although Leanne is willing to give him another chance if it means saving this world. Zephyr is still glaring at him as he shows little sign of ever forgiving him for his past actions.

"Fine, I guess it's the opinion of everyone against mine., I will trust you and your winged wench for now. But if you two show any signs of being traitors, or the Cardinals too for that matter, I will quit this group and do things my way. Just do not think I will be kissing your ass because I agree your way is a good one," the blonde boy said with his eyes on him.

Rebecca still did not appreciate the boy's rude behavior toward her friend as she snarls slightly.

"Count me in too. I still feel the same way as Zephyr on the matter. Just do not think we are friends just because your brain is the only thing logical about you. You have enough blood on your hands to justify these feelings regarding your past," Vashyron said.

"But at the same time, how far is Basel? We still have bigger things to focus on like warning Enrique of Galcian's intent to take over Valua by force. He takes priority since after years of the country being reformed for the better by a good leader, it could all fall apart if we let Galcian take it back by force. He could plan to activate the Rains of Destruction again if he were to tell the Legion of his past deeds," Vyse said.

"What are these Rains of Destruction? Is it a rare natural disaster that happen once very millions of years?" Titus asked.

"No, it's more what happens if anyone were to hardest the power of the Silver Moon with the right amount of Silver Moonstones. Galcian once used this to destroy his own empire he served and kill the former queen just to take over Valua by force. He's not only a crazy man, but someone who shouldn't be near Valua again. That is why we all need to hurry before countless lives are lost. It would only be a slap in the face for everything that Enrique had to clean up after the damage him and Ramirez had done," Aika said.

"And formerly, the Rains of Destruction were done as a way to "punish" inhabitants of this planet by cleansing them. One member of the Silvite tribe I was a part of was guilty of this. Something that even the rest of my people disagreed with. Not that Ramirez is any better for almost wiping them out to near extinction because of Galcian. Even he no longer sees himself as a Silvite if it meant proving his loyalty to the Valuan Army," Fina said.

Just saying this hurts for her since she is one of the last living members of the Silvites along with being disappointed by Ramirez's actions as the two were once close friends. Even if she accepts him as an ally now, the past they once shared wouldn't be removed from her own mind.

"Pardon my interruption, but Basel is apparently located southeast of Valua. Perhaps we can go there after we pay this Enrique a visit. He sounds highly important to you, which I can respect. But the point stands that we will have to get the Cardinals of that city on our side if it means having the edge over the Legion. They know me well and are aware of how close me and Rowen once were. All of you will need the strongest allies to face the Legion, which I've learned the hard way trying to take them on alone with Rebecca," Sullivan explains.

"Of course you failed. What did you think would happen if you try and take on a united organization of powerful villains by yourself? You may be smart, but that was a highly stupid decision on your part," Vashyron said.

"Not to burst your bubble, but weren't the reason the Legion managed to capture you and me because the three of us tried facing them alone in Basel? Even if Zephyr did not get captured, we should be thanking him for finding strong allies if it meant freeing us from their main ship," Leanne said.

"Right, it's good that we are together again. But let's not act like we weren't overpowered by them when they attacked our home, Vash. If I had never traveled to Red Mountain and found great friends like Shadow and the ChuChus, I never would have met all these great allies and found you two by chance. You had no idea how I've felt running away from our home after those subspace losers taken it over by force. It made me feel like I was too weak and not as good as I've thought after beating Rowen," Zephyr said sadly.

Axel would be thinking about what the three mercenaries were talking about as he remember doing finishing a taxi ride in Crazyville before his capture. He thought it would had been the end of the road back then and neither of his taxi buddies like Gus or BD Joe would had thought about him. Ax Battler also thought of the time that him and Tyris once decided to check on the state of Yuria after Gilius decided to leave with Sonic before their unexpected ambush at the hands of the Legion. GonGon would only be upset with himself for letting himself get captured after what happened with the rest of the citizens of Monkey Island. The gorilla had a ton of pride and never liked the idea of being defeated very easily by villains in any way.

"That reminds me, we should really be enjoying this party while we can. All of us will need the strength and rest to take on the Legion whenever they strike back. Let's not let all the work work these nice folks did be put to rest," Marth said.

"That is correct. You all enjoy yourselves. I will set off and report about any oddities as the first order for my masters," a robot voice said.

Everyone would see the reawakened SCR-HD with a new composure and completely different aura now that his reprogramming is in full effect. Tails and Rez are surprised that the robot is willing to help this fast after a new system reboot.

"Sure. You are free to go fly out there. But we have a special task for you. Just find any potential allies that are out there. We did call for them and they will not be able to find us very easily," Sonic said.

Vyse was going to wonder what kind of first plan is that, but then thought that this would make everything easier in the long run.

"Yeah, just find all the people we every called for. They are scattered around the world with no idea where our ship is. But that is where you come in. As captain of the New Blue Rogues, that will be your first order," Vyse declared.

"Don't you mean the Blue Rogue Marine Alliance? Don't forget that one of our members hacked that robot from the start. Give credit where it's due," Dan Marshall shouts.

"Are you sure this is a good idea? The Cardinals would likely see that robot as another enemy and attack him. There has to be another way we can do this," Sullivan said.

"He has a point, Majima would probably be frightened by the machine and will not hesitate smashing it into bits with his own hands," Kiryu said.

"I will not promise that Amitie nor Ringo will not resist casting magic on him for being one of Eggman's robots," Arle said.

"Gugugu gugu!" Carbuncle exclaims.

"The other Virtua Fighters may see the robot as a threat than a friend. Even thinking it may be the work of Judgement 6. Maybe a recorded message my help?" Akira suggests.

"Yes masters, how would you like the message to go, video recording or voice recording?" SCR-HD asks.

Everyone would instantly think which of the two would be a better idea and how it should go.

"So, would you Marine guys like to stay anonymous to avoid any suspicions?" Vyse asks.

"Yes, it should stay that way if it means tricking the Legion into thinking we are not involved with you in any way. The sooner they are misled, the better things will be when completing our tasks," Sam replied.

"I say the Smash Brothers should be kept anonymous as well. Just make the message all about the Sega Superstars or New Blue Rogues, whichever works the best. All more to make our plan to attack the mothership as ambiguous as possible," Marth said.

The other Smash members nodded to show that they were in agreement with this idea.

"Then that settles it, we will go with a video recording if it means proving to them that we are the real deal and not fakes. Authenticity is the key if it means making our allies trust our robotic friend and follow him to the ends of the earth until they regroup with us. Now we have to decide who will be in the message since a screen can fit so many people," the captain said before pondering his thoughts.

"Well one idea is to have all the people who called for new allies or have possible allies lurking around to be in the video. That should include Ryo Kazuki, Kazuma Kiryu, Arle, Ulala, Kasumi, Beat, BD Joe, Amigo, Joe Musashi, Sakura, Shou, and you since your former crewmates may still be out there. Maybe have Sonic be the face of the video since he is a well known hero everyone should know. Also, we want this robot to avoid any public figures like new reporters or even world leaders at all costs. We should stay low profile with this message if it makes the Legion less suspicious of our plans," Sega-Chan suggests.

"Why not throw everyone in the video? We can make it work. Besides, we know certain dead friends anyone knows are out there and this message would help them join the fight," Claris said.

Just hearing that gave Gear some small hope that Til may be out there, but his heart said that it was best he stays out of this as losing him again would be too painful for him. Alis also remembered that her brother's body is still back on the planet Palma, having doubts the robot would have time flying to another galaxy just to get him aboard. G would never forget that sacrifice that Thomas did in the past, holding hope that he is still out there somewhere and ready to fight once more. Gilius, Ax, and Tyris all once remembered the grisly sight of Alex dying from the attack on Yuria. They did want to have hope that he would be a valuable asset, but did not want to go through the pain of losing him once more. Bayonetta had hopes that her mother's body could still be found somewhere outside Paradiso, but also had fears of what she would think if she were to see what Balder is doing right now. Lord Max would have a moment of silence over his trainer Varios as he is the reason he became the hero of Guardiania today.

"Fine, we will find some way to squeeze everyone in the video. For this to work, we will have to organize ourselves in a way that everyone will see us. This may take multiple takes. So bear with us," Vyse said.

All crew members from aboard the Delfinus would start to gather around in a circle away from the dining tables to get ready for the recording process of the video. SCR-HD would also walk toward the group to get his video camera settings ready at once. Jimba chuckles as these were some interesting heroes in his book, with the faces on his headdress reacting accordingly.

"This will take a while, not that we mind any visitors staying here longer. But I have an idea that would get the Hero to join our cause. I would like you three to take part of their video message. It could be spread to the right people and he may remember you three instantly after watching the video," the chief said.

The three Maboo shamans would be front and center after listening to orders of their chief.

"We will do, anything to get word of our status out there and hopefully get rid of the Eviling menace that is still out there," the three responded.

Lagu, Folu, and Chinto instantly scrambled their way to the crowd if it meant having a spot for the video. The start of a long process would begin for their final moments on the Isle of Monsters. Meanwhile, the Lost Hex would be in complete ruins due to the mass damage that the Legion's forces were doing. Many trees were burned down, mountains were damaged, many Zeti houses were raided to take the citizens hostage, the local fauna were already scrambling due to habit loss, and the skies were red due to the sinister sunset. Mecha Sonic would already be continuing his rampage with armies of Egg Fighters, Egg Pawn, and Egg Gunners on his side to bring forth destruction. The allied forces that were sent by the Legion and Smash remnants respectively were running amuck to help cause more of the destruction possible.

"Burn everything down and kill all Zeti you see. This is the price the traitors will pay for turning down the Legion. We are only fulfilling an old wish for Master Eggman," the blue Sonic robot shouts.

Many young Zeti would be seen trying to run away only for the Egg Pawn to gun them down with their blasters. This is far from all of them as different groups would be in charge of causing mayhem in parts of the Lost Hex other than Windy Hill. Locations like Desert Ruins, Tropical Coast, Frozen Factory, Silent Forest, Sky Road, and Lava Mountain were already taken over by these allied forces the Legion sent to make sure the world is destroyed at all costs. Overall, the Lost Hex is already starting to crumble due to the severe damage everyone is doing, leading large chunks of land to fall to the Earth below at alarmingly fast rates due to the damage it endured. The Deadly Six were already beginning to run out of time as any more damage and the Zeti will no longer have a world to live on. The kill counts were extremely high in which even the most skilled of Zeti arriors were not strong enough to take on the strongest leaders or even Mecha Sonic himself. This is only a grim reminder of how far the Legion will go towards anyone who dared to turn against them as they will resort to destroying everything they love to break them. The Zeti Airship is still on auto pilot with its cloaking device on to avoid being detected. Even if the Zeti androids were told not get involved, their own emotions were getting the best of them due to having the data to match the personalities of their own creators. The robot Zavok would already be growling at the site of everything that is happening down below and grew tired of following orders if the Lost Hex is already in a critical state. The other robot clones of the Deadly Six would await their robotic leader's orders on what to do at all since their spying positions were already wearing thin.

"Boss, what should we do? We knjow the real us are on their way here but the planet is already starting to crumble and tumble down to the ground. I want to go out their and rip them apart with all I've got!" the robot Zazz said.

"Patience is key, but eventually like an apple it can only stay fresh for so long," robot Zik said.

"I just wish I can just get down there and kick their little butts so badly. These nails are made for more than just being stylish," robot Zeena said.

"I agree with Zeena, we need to make things less depressing when it comes at the expense of our own world. This is not my kind of misery, ok?" robot Zor whined.

"I am starving for some metal to chow down. Just the sight of those robots make me hunger for breaking them open and feeding on their wires. The wires are always the best part," robot Zomom said.

The Zavok doppelgänger would slowly begin to agree with his own team that it is time to spring into action themselves without putting the ship or the newly rebuilt Zetibot army into risk. His only response is to raise his red fist and clench it tightly as he is starving for a heated fight. The rest of the robot team would be wondering if he has anything to say for them as they await their next order.

"Yes, we will get out there and destroy their leader while he is exposed. We have one shot at this and our teamwork is all we have to risk saving the Lost Hex ourselves before they get there. Deadly Six, move out!" he shouts.

Down below, a few Zeti were already being kicked around by a few elite Pigmask soldiers and Crimean generals that found them riding under the stone stairs. A few Medusa Heads and Murasame oni would surround them before they thought about running away. The snake haired heads hissed aggressively as the ugly red ogres threatened to throw fireballs at their victims. Other Zeti would be defeated by a ground of Sledge Bros, Nefarious drones, and Egg Golems that blocked them from running away. Lastly some Zeti would already be picked away by a swarm of Burrowing Snagrets, Space Pirates, and Darknuts. Almost every Zeti on Windy Hill had been either enslaved or already exterminated as they slowly burn this dying world with everything they've got. All but on would already be willing to fight and that a young green Zeti who looks up to the Deadly Six and refused to even bow down to these terrorists.

"I will not kneel to anyone who comes up to our world and think they can take it all over. Just get out of her already, there is no room for losers like you!" he shouts.

He would begin charging a green ball in his hands in an attempt to harm Mech Sonic. The blue Sonic robot then orders a few Egg Pawns to go after the rebellious youngster to stop him. The young green Zeti charged at the orange spherical robots and fires his special energy at them. While he is not on the same level as the average trained Zeti warrior, the blasts still destroyed the heads of these robot's to leave them without a way to see. The headless robots eventually started firing everywhere in the confusion with some destroying each other. The blue Egg Fighters would be next to charge at the young Zeti civilian that dared oppose them. They had much smaller heads compared to the Egg Pawn to make things a bit difficult for him. He charged at one to kick it with all his might, which knocks it on its back. Then he would dodge the hand swipes of the blue robots before using their own weight against them to knock them completely over. Next would be the Egg Gunners with their mounted machine gun arms to fire at their green slippery target. The Zeti managed to slip past these bullets and slide on the grassy ground to evade them. Mecha Sonic made sure toucan everything about this young Zeti to try identifying any possible weaknesses to exploit. This is how he defeated the other Zeti or even went far as exterminating them during his tactical conquest of the floating planetoid. Other allied forces wanted to interfere just to take the target down, but the blue robot held out his hand to stop them from making any moves.

"Do not waste your moves on small fry like this, we have bigger goals like burning this world down completely. Just focus on the other Zeti you have in sight. Let my robotic men take down the little pest," he said coldly.

The green Zeti jumps onto the back of one Egg Gunner and points its own gun to fire at his fellow robots viciously. The gunfire from these robots are so strong that even their own can be severely damaged by the bullets as it surpass any assault rifle of today. The robot raised its left hand to try blasting at the Zeti with its missile launcher, but even he twists the hand to make it blast away at its fellow robots. The more he scanned, the more Mecha Sonic realize that despite his great adaptability that he has a few flaws of his own to be exploited. He raised his hand to order an Egg Golem to raise its massive blaster at the two from a distance. The burgundy behemoth steadily aims the barrel at its smaller targets to make sure there is no mistake in destroying its target. The Zeti finally noticed this and froze in his tracks as he knows there isn't an escape. He could choose to jump off the robot in time, but did think the robot would aim either its machine gun or missile launcher at him before the time the beam hits him. His inexperienced age also leads him to be too scared to make a move as any decision would get him as severely hurt as his fellow Zeti.

"Now, kill him!" Mecha Sonic orders.

Suddenly, a familiar red Zeti would appear before the Egg Golem to punch it. The strong hit alone would shatter the massive robot into pieces upon the explosion. A purple flash would appear to zip around and cut off the heads of the Burrowing Snagrets. This would leave the blue snake bodies wriggling violently from the remaining nerves, which frightens the other soldiers near it. A green Zeti eventually electrocutes the few Medusa Heads that threatened the helpless Zeti to send the gorgon pests too harmed to float anymore. The few Crimean generals would be crushed underneath the death of a familiar large bouncing Zeti to not only break their backs, but shatter their heavy armor that would tank the worst magic spells. Then a flying brown staff would swing around to knock the heavy hammers out of the hands of the few Sledge Bros. Which ends in a familiar shady Zeti to knock out a few Murasame oni easily in silence. The remaining allied soldiers would grow cautious at who are attacking them. One Darknut already starts to lumber around with the largest cut down any threat. Mecha Sonic turned his head to see just who he expected to arrive.

"So you six fools decided to show up alone. But it's all too late, it will not be long until this world is destroyed and your race is hunted to extinction. Some were nice enough to cooperate while others were asking to be dead by these hands. If you all wanted to die so badly, then we can arrange that," the Sonic robot said.

The red Zeti eventually flew his way to Mecha Sonic and punched him with all his might. This caused the machine to stagger from the hit and plant his steel feet in the ground to not fly away too hard. The anger this Zavok look alike held along with his tenacity to end this bloodshed is the Lost Hex is suffering enough from. The remaining Deadly Six robots would begin fighting the remaining soldiers that were there. Zeena takes out the disarmed Sledge Bros with ease thanks to her faster speed. Zomom already began chomping away at the heads of a few Egg Golems to remove their eyes and satisfy his insatiable horror. Zik used his best martial arts to shatter the weakest parts of the Darknuts' armor with ease to outsmart them. Zor takes on the Space Pirates thanks to his sneaky nature to avoid their cybernetic enhancements that lack the heat vision to sense him. The Pigmasks would easy be dispatched thanks to the ferocity of Zazz and his ability to dodge their pig blasters with ease.

"Is that the best you punks can do? I will kill all of you and hang your heads on my wall!" the manic Zeti robot yells.

More Egg Pawn, Egg Gunners, and Egg Fighters arrived on the scene to take on the intruders. Egg Bombers, Egg Golems, Flappers, Egg Stingers, Egg Lancers, Egg Fighter: Knights, Egg Shooters, Snail Blasters, Balkyries, and Spinners arrived on the scene to take on these remaining intruders. The wounded Zeti civilians that were saved were directed by Zazz and Zeena to run somewhere safe while they could. "This way, we will handle everything here. Even if we have to explore this whole world to take on these pests!" the green haired Zeti called. Zomom would notice the waves of Badniks heading their way with a big smile on his face after eating out the chest of the Egg Golem.

"Yummy, more dumb robots to chew on. This would be my greatest buffet experience," he said in joy.

"Keep your eyes peeled, young seeds. We will have to hold out until our masters arrive to finish the job. Just do not get destroyed or lose a limb," the wise old Zeti robot orders.

"Sure, let's risk our one note meaningless lives while we can. It's dumb enough that we think we can save everyone in this short amount of time," Zor said.

"Less whining, more thrashing. Because these mechanic freaks and anyone that side will them will get a taste of what we have in store for that rotten egg," Zazz snarled.

The five Deadly Six clones charged at the waves of Eggman robots that headed toward the site of trouble. The Snail Blasters opened the hatch on their shells to reveal their mounted shell cannons while the Egg Stingers cocked their large red missile launcher arm cannons for battle. The Egg Fighter:Knights already activated their massive chainsaw swords for their next heated battle. The Flappers activated their mounted guns to fire at their non-flying targets. Zavok continues his onslaught of attacks on Mecha Sonic, who struggled to retaliate from the heavy blows that damaged his body. The robotic Zeti is determined to hit his enemy with everything he had to stop his plans of damaging his master's home world. Just watching him do everything he caused on top of impatience for the real Deadly Six to arrive is what drove him to this blind rage of desire to break this blue spiky robot into nothing but scrap metal. However, it will take more than that to bring down a robot like this. This is the same robot that once fought Knuckles in the past and took his worst hits. He is also one of the few robots Eggman created that can harness the Chaos Emerald energy, even from the Master Emerald one time. His Super Form was so powerful that Knuckles had to stall and evade him until he powers down. His ability to harness a super form is far from perfect due to it being quite taxing on his mechanical body and constantly needing to recharge from a source to power back up.

"This rage is what you've caused. You've hurt our people, done too much damage to our only home, and trying to repeat what those damned Black Arms once tried to do in the past. The only way to atone for your sins is to die by these hands. You've already sealed your fate the moment the first piece of our world landed to the blue planet below. Stop acting like you are tough and fall already!" the red Zeti robot shouts.

Things did not seem too one-sided as the entire time Mecha Sonic scanned very detail about the Zeti robot that pummels him to learn of any weaknesses. Not only he came to the conclusion that this was not the real Zavokas he had mechanical properties, but he learned that this robot is also far from being comparable to the real deal. Not only this robot lacks the same prnfienceny in electromagnetic field manipulation that a skilled Zeti would learn, but his skill is very limited based on what tech the Zeti gave him than all the stronger skills their fleshy counterparts would know. On the plus side, Mecha Sonic is aware that the Cacophonic Conch would have no affect on him as he is not a real Zeti. The blue Sonic robot eventually stops once more and grabs the fist of the angry doppelgänger in time. Zavok is surprised that his fist is stopped this casually by a machine he saw as inferior to him. He would try to punch even harder despite everything being futile once Mecha Sonic knew which flaws to exploit of the predictable opponent.

"You should never show your blindspots to someone better than you. Allow me to show you just why even Sonic's strongest friend fears facing me," the coldhearted machine said.

He then proceeds too punch the red Zeti-like robot in his gun, internally damaging his processing units and causing his eyes to bug out. Then he slaps his other hand atop the Zavok robot's head to shagger him before doing a flip kick to knock him into the air. Mecha Sonic blitzes him in a speed almost comparable to the real Sonic before he does an axe kick above the robot to send him flying back to the ground. The impact would be loud enough to get the attention of the remains Zeti robots who already had their hands full with Eggman's robot army. Zazz would toss the beaten Egg Fighter away in a rage before he would charge instinctively to assist his mechanical boss.

"Zazz, stay here with us. Leave it to Zavok to handle that blue pest himself," Zik warned.

"To hell with that, I will not let our boss die on my watch. There is nothing more satisfying than pounding that hedgehog fraud's spiny blue metal butt!" he replies while running away.

Zeena sighs after she just finished shocking some Badniks to death with her electric abilities. "The same old Zazz, always jumping into a fight and almost never listening to simple orders," she complained.

"Oh well, he is missing out on some good baddies to crush and chew on. These guys are delicious enough to fit on a sandwich," Zomom said after chewing the remains of a Flapper and Spinner that he destroyed.

He instantly swung his fist to knock down an Egg Lancer that tried to charge him.

"Forget about him, let's fight for our own lives since there's too many of these losers. If I did not know any better, it seems we are doomed to be reduced to scrap metal before our masters even return," Zor said while dodging the Egg Bombers' special bombs.

"Enough pessimism out of you! We will reign victorious. I may not have an organic brain like the original Zik, but trust me when I say that we will save the Lost Hex. Your words are heavy as stone but lack the weight to hold any virtuous logic. Now how about you act like you mean it and fight with all you have. Push past your limits if it means our survival," the wise Zeti robot sternly said.

Zomom instantly burps to fire a wave of yellow energy at the row of Badniks ahead of him as Zeena discharged more waves of electricity at the flying enemies above them. Zik resumes throwing his staff forward to act as a remote controlled weapon to wack away at the nearest Egg Fighters and Gunners in the distance. Zor eventually shrugs before processing to silently sneak around to attack the nearest robots with his stealth. Mecha Sonic pins down Zavok with his blue leg with all the force necessary to extract his movement. The pressure is starting to dent the steel on his body which would possibly kill him if he does not find a way to fight him off. The robot clone snarls as he hates nothing more than being overpowered by someone who is superior than him. The single red eye Mecha Sonic has would only stare coldly to enjoy the suffering he is causing to his prey. It was not until Zazz jumps onto his head to try shaking him off.

"Get the hell off of him or I will rip that head of yours off, blue copycat!" he shouts.

The sharp spines on the back of Mecha Sonic would pierce the scrawny Zeti robot's belly due to their sharpness along with the crazed robot's selfless determination to stop him. Zavok is surprise that his fellow robot ally is sacrificing himself to save him at all. Mecha Sonic groans as rotating his head is impossible due to the tugging strength of his pink aggressor and raises his arms to try grabbing him. "Get off of me, you inferior machine. If it's a death wise you want, it is one you will receive for trying to humiliate me!" he shouts. Zavok would begin charging flames in his hand with the opportunity he has thanks to his ally. He forces all the heat possible if it will be enough to burn his distracted victim. Zazz continues to trying to rip his head off with all he had as the blue spines scrapped at his stomach. The young green Zeti that mangled to defeat the Egg Gunner would see this and gasps. He finally knew that these were not the real Deadly Six as Zazz is a living Zeti just like him instead of some robotic copy. This would only make him wonder why would robots make in the guise of the heroes he look up to would be helping the Lost Hex.

"What is going on, that is not Zazz. But some robot fake. More importantly, who are these guys and what have they done with the real Deadly Six? It does not matter, because they better be of help when everything is falling apart thanks to these invaders. I just hope for a miracle that we can be saved," he said.

Zazz grunts within every pull as he could feel his wires being cut slowly by his sacrificial gesture. Mecha Sonic eventually grabs his small legs in a good spot to try throwing him off. It wouldn't be until Zavok completely decimates the blue Sonic clone easily with his flaming punch. His core would be felt by the high intense heat but it barely did much as he taken Knuckles' similar attacks in the past. Then Zavok would rush at the robot to deal a few blues to the same overheated spot to harm him. Zazz instantly frees himself from the grip, but only start to sprawl around in pain once the damage his stomach receive is starting to kick him. He is in severe need of repairs instead of doing anymore risky fighting in his current state.

"Thank you Zazz, you stand down until we have time to board the ship. I will return the favor by crushing everything important to this blue wannabe. No one harms my allies, death is the only punishment for them," he shouts.

Mecha Sonic instantly transforms his arm into a special machine gun to retaliate. Zavok deflects the bullets with ease thanks to predicting where each one would hit, then charged at him once more with an uppercut. This would almost break the head off Mecha Sonic due to enough damage he received from Zazz trying to behead him.

"You fool, I will make sure that your deaths are guaranteed in the name of Dr. Eggman. This world will fall and I will success in doing so!" he shouts.

He instantly changed his machine gun into special rocket launcher before firing it at Zavok. He willingly risks being hit by the blast in his same dented chest, almost hindering his ability to fight. But succeeded to collide a special punch to the side of Mecha's face to almost knock it off. Exposed wires would begin appearing as a result of his damage. Zavok however finally kneels down as the explosion did enough damage to his internal systems to continue facing the blue menace alone. The Sonic robot then uses his own hands to start applying all pressure he can to push his head back in place to act as a brace if it means resuming the fight.

"Your first mistake was to do a cheap trick like that and thinking it will defeat me. Now to reward you handsomely with an instant death from staring that Eggman bestowed upon me before I came here," he said.

He would take out a familiar red gem in his hand, the same gem Eggman stolen from the Bonanza Bros after tricking them with a self destruct lie in the last encounter. Zavok would be too damaged to make a move and even he would tell just how dangerous things would get if he fully use the gem's power. Zazz is still trying to get back up from a fight despite his steel scrape wounds, sparks flying from in between the openings.

"You better not use that jewel like some coward. Fight us like a real robot, coward!" he shouts.

Mecha Sonic would only chuckle in an evil manner from the pink robot Zeti's statement. This only made him angrier to try attacking the blue pest, but he cringe in pain once more from his wounds. Zavok still pants due to the damage in his internal systems being too severe to keep fighting despite agreeing to take the risk of trying to save the Lost Hex himself.

Blast it, this is it. We will be doomed once he absorb that gem and one attack will surely destroy our bodies completely. I am sorry for failing you, my masters.

"Now, watch as your bodies will be vaporized once I use true power bestowed upon me by my only master Dr. Ivo Robotnik. Your world will die and the world below will be ours for the taking. And there's no one that can stop me!" Mecha Sonic called.

A weak green blast would hit the blue Sonic robot in his back, which knocked the Chaos Emerald on the ground. Zazz and Zavok would be shocked at the sudden surprise attack that hit him. Mecha Sonic instantly turns his head completely around to see just what impotent fool decided to knock away the Chaos Emerald. He would only see the same young green Zeti that once tried to attack his robot army now aiming for him. Unafraid at the blue tyrant, he is angry and wanted to do everything he can to distract the metal menace.

"Are you crazy, you dumb brat? Forget trying to save us, save your own life when enough Zeti lives were already taken!" Zazz called.

"Run while you can, because your very life could be sealed for trying to stand up to someone against your level," Zavok called.

The blue Sonic robot would focus his attention completely on his attacker after picking the emerald back up. The young green Zeti is shown completely unafraid of the robot in any way since he holds nothing but hatred against him. His teeth grits with aggression as he bared his dark green claws once more.

"You think you are so tough? Picking on the defenseless and trying to destroy everything our home stood for? I will not run away and will fight to my death like a true Zeti. If there is one thing I learned from the Deadly Six, it's to never run from a fight and show no mercy. You deserve nothing but hell for even trying to bring our proud race to extinction. I don't care how strong you are, but I will find some way too fight you until you are nothing but scraps!" he shouts.

This speech would be loud enough to get the attention of the robot clones of Zik, Zeena, Zor, and Zomom as they fought the endless Badnik army. Even the few allies soldiers who were just now arriving from their other locations heard this speech. Some hiding Zeti civilians, young and old were able to hear this despite hiding under a few stone stairs for safety. The most shocked being a green Zeti couple consisting of a fairly slim handsome male father and a slightly overweight mother similar to Zeena's figure.

"Honey, that's our Zane out there. What does he think he's doing? I do not want to see my own baby boy killed because he is not a qualified warrior like our Zeena," Zangia said.

"You may be right honey, this is too much. I would get out there and save our boy, but then I would die too. I'm not as young as I used to be as a fighter," Zaria said.

The concerned Zeti mother would already have tears rolling down her eyes once she see the blue robot slowly approaching her son with killing intent. Zane is still unafraid of the blue monstrosity that slowly walked his eye with his sinister red eye staring at all. Even without his speaking, the robot had little time to play any games with lesser experienced fighters who act tough like they have killed before.

"That's right, you have nothing to say? Because you are nothing more than some steel bully that thinks he has every right to take over our world. What's the matter, cat got your tongue? Because there is plenty of more where that came from, bolt brain. You have no comeback that you think you can try scaring me. Because if there is one thing I've learned from big sister Zeena, it's that we never back down from any fight no matter how impossible it seems. That's what I want to be, just as strong as her!" he shouts once more.

Mecha Sonic now stands a few inches from the daring Zeti with that same cold stare on him without any care of his words. Zane still stares down at his taller menacing foe without any fear and all the hatred for his actions. Zazz and Zavok still stares at the brave boy for his actions despite being far too outclassed in this situation. His heart would slowly thumb despite being stared down by someone way stronger than him as he tries to think of a plan. I only have one shot at this. He will try to grab me from this angle and I can use that moment to blast his head off. Then I will save everyone easily. Just need to wait for it.

Mecha Sonic instantly grabs the smaller Zeti immediately as Zane predicted and slowly tightens the grim around his neck. Zavok tries to rush in to save him, but collapsed due to the internal systems of his body beginning to fail. Even Zazz is just as helpless due to his robotic body being in a critical state to run.

"You brat, didn't we all warn you? Now you will be slaughtered for messin' with him," he shouts.

Zane would lower one arm to slowly charge all the energy he have in one hand while he could.

"Did you really think you could hurt me? Or even stop me for that matter? Just watching your very existence bores me that giving you a swift death would suffice. No wonder our master wants your race and this miserable floating rock to wiped out. Your first mistake was ever standing up to me. Now you will watch as I choke every single ounce of oxygen from your frail body. See you in hell, foolish child," the coldhearted machine said.

Zane is struggling to breath with his windpipe slowly closing within each grip and his hands charging all the energy needed. His lower body also struggles as all he could do is kick his legs and swing his tail without avail. Even the Zeti's own eyes is growing redder from the intensity of all blood rushing to his head from this severe chokehold position he's in.

"J…just you watch, I will de…destroy you and this world will no longer be in any harm. Kee..keep enjoying your moment because all of that will c…come to an end soon," he said.

He raised his hand toward the exposed face of Mecha Sonic and finally released the blast. The two robot Zeti witnesses would see the smoke rising from the resulting explosion that occurred before their eyes. Zaria and Zangia would gasp in horror fearing the worst for their already enstrangled son. Other Zeti citizens that hit would only worry for what will become of one brave Zeti standing up for them when the real Deadly Six were nowhere to be found. Zeena grew worried as while she is not related to Zane as the robot replica of his sister, but did not want to fail in having him unharmed.

"You idiot, didn't she say not for you to get in any trouble. Sorry guys, but I will get over there and save him before it's too late," she said.

Zik nods as he continues fighting the slew of Egg Fighters and Egg Gunners that tried to stop Zeena from getting away from the battlefield.

"Leave it to us, we will crush these metalheads and chew them up for messing with our home," Zomom said with his mouth full of Badnik parts.

The green clone of his sister would already be running her way toward the site of the explosion desperately with little time left. Zane also hopes that everything is over as he could feel his neck getting more air back. The clearing smoke reveals that his tactic was all for naught as Metal Sonic's head remains intact from the surprise attack despite receiving worse damage from stronger foes. Zane's heart sake as he couldn't believe that his plan did not work well as expected.

"But how, you are supposed to fall apart. I put everything I had in that attack. Damn you!" he shouts.

Mecha Sonic would only chuckle once more as he reverts back to tightening the grip of his steel hand. Zane slowly starts to choke once more with the tight grip returning once more. He kicks his legs once more desperately to try escaping his grasp.

"If there is a difference between me and you, you would be like the smallest spec of dust on an entire formidable machine. Now that you realize that, it is time for you to die by my hands. See you in hell, fool," he said.

Zane winces from his near death experience as another arm is raised to become a gatling gun for execution purposes.

"No! Stop it! Spare my baby, take us instead!" Zangia shouts.

"Please, spare the boy. He is only foolish and not a true warrior. Just leave him out of this!" Zaria called. Zeena already arrived with her impressive speed to try stopping everything.

"Let him go! If you want a fight, then I will be your opponent!" robot Zeena cried.

Mecha Sonic noticed her and only responds with a laugh.

"Very well, then I will kill this child first before you are next to exterminate," he replies coldly.

He sticks the barrel of his gun directly to the head of Zane to make sure not a single bullet miss. Zeena activates her claws as she only had one thing in mind to save the life of someone very precious to her maker.

"You bastard!" she shouts.

Suddenly, a flash would shine from the distance that Zik and For would notice. Then the two would be surprised as a fast moving object would be flying from that same spot in their direction. The robot Zeti barely dodged at in time as it tears through the Badniks that were about to overpower them. Then Zeena would sense its presence heading its way before flipping to narrowly avoid it. That flying object finally colds into Mecha Sonic in time to knock his gun off balance and force him to let go of Zane. It was only mere seconds before the first bullet that fired would had blown up Zane's brain. Even the young Zeti wondered what was this flying object that narrowly saved him. It turns out to be Ristar who shoot himself from a faraway point to strike the robot at his trademark faster than light speed. Even the robot couldn't predict this surprise attack as he was only completely focused on trying to kill the Zeti. Mecha Sonic them flies away at high speed after the round star-faced alien lands safely on his feet. He could hold nothing by a serious demeanor with the bad state the Lost Hex is in and how he just saved someone at all. The other hiding Zeti would be confused at who this strange visitor is. A vast majority did not know whether they should trust him or not as the last new non-Zeti visitors they had are the very ones destroying their home and hurting their people. "What is this guy? He just knocked out that robot with ease," an elderly Zeti said. "But let's not forget that he is still an invader and we are not sure if he's on our side," a younger male Zeti said. "You're right, we will just have to keep hiding and see where things will go," a female Zeti said in caution. Zaria and Zangia would only cry massive tears of joy that someone came to save their son from his own death and live for another day. "Our baby is saved, the Zeti gods have blessed us," the crying mother said. "I have no idea who that guy is, but he's how hero for standing up to that mechanical monster," the husband sniffled. The fallen Zane would still be violently coughing now that he is free from his aggressor's grip and had no energy to move. Zeena then came in time to observe the start kid as she had several questions on who he is.

"Thanks for saving him. But what are you and can we trust you?" she said.

Ristar turns around and gave the brightest smile to prove his innocence.

"My name is Ristar and I am someone who arrived just in time to help. You have nothing to worry about when we are here to help the Deadly Six fix this place and chase out any Legion members here. Sorry for coming uninvited, but we did sort of have their permission since they are coming soon," he said before striking his black head.

"They really sent you? Our masters said nothing about having allies other than themselves. But that's great. Zavok and Zazz need repairs badly when they already risks trying to fight off that hedgehog wannabe. And that's not going into this spoiled brat that tried to get himself killed playing hero," the robot Zeena said.

Zane already gotten back to his feet as he continue trying to catch his breath while ignoring the pain of his neck.

"You know the Deadly Six? But how, they held nothing but content for the people below our world for what that hedgehog did to them. I would not be surprised if you of all people are on his side and trying to destroy us all. He sided with that fat ape who enslaved our heroes and tried to use them as tools. Don't act like you suddenly care after the damage that already happened here," he barked.

"Just wait a rotten minute, it is true that the Deadly Six allied with us to save your world. I will promise you that Eggman and anyone siding with him are not our friends. Even Sonic was betrayed as Eggman only used him and Tails in using that stolen power from Earth to destroy them. Don't act so ungrateful when I am the one who flew faster than a star just to save you," Ristar said.

Zeena did not know what to believe as she had no memory of when her and the other robot replicas fought Tails group and gotten destroyed before being rebuilt from scratchy by Zik.

"Oh yeah, then where are the Deadly Six? I am not believing a word you say until you prove it, star face. I would be more grateful if I know this is not all some huge trick just to lure us in a false state of security only to kill us later. I am not falling for a single thing you say, Mr. Hero," she shouts.

"But I am telling the truth. I came here first because I am faster than everyone. They should be on their way here soon. You got to believe, even they know that they can't save the Lost Hex alone with the number of forces here to take out. If I was your enemy, then I would had never knocked out that robot that was close to killing the real Zeena's brother. Had I not gotten involved, then you would have a huge burden of not keeping enough lives safe. Is that some way to treat your hero?" Ristar shouts.

Before the two would argue even further, they could hear the sounds of speeding heading their way. Zane would be euspirsed to see that Mecha Sonic is back and angrier than before with his eye on the one who humiliated him.

"He's back! We need to take him out before he think about hurting Windy Hill more!" he shouts. Ristar instantly prepares to stretch out his long back arms and grabbed at the ground. "Everyone, give me some space. I will launch myself again to bash his hard head!" he shouts.

The two Zeti finally backed away to watch the star faced alien slowly back up to strength his planted arms as long as possible. Mecha Sonic would only take out his gun since more to try gunning down the star faced pest.

"You think that will be your victory? Then think again, fool. I will destroy you!" the vengeful robot shouts.

Ristar stetted himself as far as he could with his eye on his flying blue target. The mechanical menace instantly started firing his machine gun at his faraway target. Ristar narrowly flying his body forward in time to evade the bullets and flew at the flying robot once more. The two heads finally collided once more at their fastest seeds to cause a sonic boom. This would blow down every Zeti and Badnik within a massive radius as the massive sound wave keeps traveling around the entire damaged world. Unfortunately for Zavok and Zazz, they are now on their backs and too damaged to get back to their feet. Zeena narrowly saved Zane if it meant keeping him from flying away from the blast. Now the speedsters would be butting heads at high speed to try seeing which one of them will fly away. Mecha Sonic is highly determined to knock the star child away while the shooting star is determined to blow him away once more. The clash of the speeding fighters would go on for seconds as they keep trying to push into one another. Zeena use this time to take Zane away for safety before something else of that magnitude were to happen.

"Hey wait, where are you going? We should stay and fight for our home. Running away is for little babies," he cried.

"Not when Zavok and Zazz were almost killed. Well, the robot versions of us anyway. We will leave it to this star face to take care of that blue freak. I may not trust him, but he is our only hope. And I guess the Deadly Six if what he say about them coming soon is true," the Zeena lookalike replied.

The two found the hiding place where the other Zeti were before she would take the boy to his parents. The Zeti parents instantly hugged their son with all the love they had now that he is completely safe, but mostly the mother who hugged tighter than usual.

"My little boy, you are safe and sound! How can I ever repay you...robot that looks like my little girl?" Zangia said in a confused manner.

"Nothing, because your real daughter will be here soon according to that star guy. Just stay safe inside here for now and keep him out of trouble. She will not forgive me if I allowed her little brother to get hurt," robot Zeena replied.

"Little? I am a Zeti warrior and will be great as my big sis! Don't belittle me because I stood up to that blue robot tyrant easily," he brags.

"But you almost died back there. You are nowhere near as good as her yet. You should stay out of trouble abs leave it to us. Even the toughest warriors who aren't the real Deadly Six struggled to defeat him. This one's not like anything you all ever fought before. Your parents will be sad if you gotten any hurt, so just stay with them," robot Zeena ordered.

"Son, she has a point. We understand that you idolize and want to be recognized as strong like Zeena, but you just aren't there yet. You could had died," Zaria said.

"It's better to die a warrior than to run away like some coward. You used to be be a great fighter and here you are hiding instead of showing that blue robot who's boss. That's why I've did the one thing that you couldn't do," Zane barked.

"That's because I am past my prime. I used to be good, trying to fight now would be allowing my age to get to me and die. There's a reason the Deadly Six surpass me. And Zik is one of the few Zeti who trained his body intensely enough to still be strong despite being near a century old. If you want me to be like him, then you are sadly mistaken since I didn't even push myself as hard as him. It would be suicide," the Zeti father said defensively.

"Zane, what did I tell you about talking back to your father? Even Zeena grew out of that phase to be the respectful young lady like she is. You have a lot of growing up to do, young Zeti," the Zeti mother scolds.

Zane could only do nothing but frown at how both parents are still treating him like a kid despite his desire to be a great fighter for the Lost Hex one day. Then a large thud would be heard that rumbled the ground violently as the hiding Zeti tried to keep their balance. The result is Mecha Sonic getting the upper hand as he already slammed Ristar on the ground due to using his own stretchy arms against him. The cruel robot is all about taking weaknesses and exploiting them to get the upper hand in any fight. Ristar is already severely hurt as he uses his other non stretched arm to try lifting his body off the ground.

"You refuse to give up? You are all the same, trying to act like you are invincible when you are only a mere ant in comparison to me. But now it's time for me to break your spirit!" the Sonic robot shouts.

He would sling the arm he caught one last time to hurl the star child into the air before he's slammed into another structuring. Zeena caught eye of this and grew disappointed that not even he is proven to be a real match for a monster robot like him. "Hey, what happened to you being strong? I know you can do better than, star boy! Break free from him! Wake up!" she shouts. Ristar slowly pulls himself out of the large crater that his body created, spitting the grass and debris from his lips. His vision is completely blurry from the heavy damage his body's state is from someone throwing his own body around. He could barely make out the sound of the robot Zeti calling to him in an attempt to awaken his fighting spirit. Both Zavok and Zazz would only do nothing but watch as their bodies are in no stare to fight anymore.

"Gu...guys, I...am sorry for failing you...," he weakly said.

Then Mecha Sonic would swing his stretched out arm once more to try slamming him one more time, but this time down the sky if it meant getting rid of one obstacle in his way.

"Let's see how strong you are when you are thrown back to the Earth just like this floating mass of dirt!" the robot shouts.

Zeena would begin charging electricity in her hands to try stopping the robot's plan immediately. Ristar would do nothing but scream as his body is being slung into the air before what may be his final drop. He tries his best to consider aiming his other arm to grab into anything he could. He couldn't do it since his arm is in too much pain to fight back or even stretch too another point. This is the biggest punch Ristar was in since trying to avoid Greedy's deadly black holes when facing him alone. Zeena already fires her electric beam at Mecha Sonic's back to shock him. This would do little but annoy the robot and convince him to slam

Ristar against her instead.

"You little wench, how about you be the one to be destroyed by your own rescuer. A tragic end for a mere inferior machine thinking they stack up to the original. Unlike me, who's superior to Sonic in every way!" he shouts.

He changes quickly snags Ristar's long arm backwards once more to aim for his own attacker. Zeena knew that it would be time to try running while she could.

"Hurry up, or he will squash you like a bug!" Zazz shouts.

"You better hope this will not be the end of you. Stay alive, Zeena!" Zavok called.

Ristar would be relieved that he's not going to fall off the list Hex, but grew alarmed when he will only be slammed con his own ally by his captor. He could see Zeena attempting to run away as his body slowly flies toward her own direction.

"Look out! I can't stop myself from heading your way!" the star child shouts.

She turns around to see the Ristar with his outstretched arm heading her way thanks to Mecha Sonic's abusive tactic.

"There's no escape, perish!" the cold hearted robot said.

Zeena tries to pick up her speed as the star faces robot is heading her way within seconds. A bolt of lightning would fly in the direction of Mecha Sonic once more and it strikes his arm. The surge of electricity flows throughout his body and traveled to even Ristar's arm to harm him. Both of them would be screaming from the pain as the Zeti citizens watched from their hiding spot. Zavok and Zazz wondered who was the source of that attack that miraculously stopped the blue robot menace's attack.

"Wh..what just happened? He just got shocked all of a sudden. This is no way the work of another Zeti," Zaria said.

"More in assets, dear? Hopefully they are good ones here to kick the bad ones off of our world," Zangia said

"Let me get a closer look, I need to see with my own eyes," Zane said.

"No, you will stay out like we've told you to!" both parents yelled.

Mecha Sonic finally let's go of Ristar, which causes his overstretched arm to snap back and caused the star faced child to fly away and narrowly avoid hitting the robot Zeena. Before he could fly off the world, a familiar green dragon stopped him in time with his scaly arms to grab a hold of him. The two would slow down their flight instantly thanks to his strength and powerful wings helping cushion the force between them. Zeena saw this and couldn't believe her eyes at all. It was none other than Centurion in his Weredragon form who arrived just in time for the fight. But he's not alone when other members of the World Destruction Committee would appear left and right in an all star showcase. Orta's dragon finally flew its way toward the land below with its impressive wingspan and mighty war to warn everyone below of its arrive. The dragon is carrying Orta and Prince Ali together as the couple have their weapons ready for battle. The prince of course still had a large bag full of flammable material, water canteens, crystals, and plants as ammo for summoning his fellow spirits for assistance.

"We are finally here as promised and see that there's enough butts to kick around. Nothing will stop us from saving these people," the excited prince said.

"That's correct. As long as I have this gun and my fellow dragon, we are an unstoppable force in the air," the silver haired girl shouts.

Cream would be flying beside then with the help of her flapping cream colored ears as her fellow Chao friend flies beside her.

"Remember Cheese, stay out of trouble. We may be a team, but things can get very dangerous for you," the young rabbit said.

"Chao, chaochaochao chao chao!" the bow tie wearing Chao replied.

Heather would also be flying down with her Missile Head form due to preferring this method of attack in the air for faster enemies. The pink faced puppet promised that she will be back alive for Headdy and wanted to prove that she is more than capable of being a hero like him.

"There's the target. If only the others were here to see this. Not like they would want to get hurt," she said.

Sackboy also flies next to her thanks to the special jetpack that he often use to fly around during his adventures in Little Big Planet. He's armed with his Paintinator and got plenty of tools from his Pop-It in store for his enemies. Mega Man flies beside him on his Rush Jet with his Mega Buster locked and locked for the enemy below. Sir Pepper and Sir Ginger are riding side by side on their own toy horse companions with their keyblade weapons very ready for battle. The two clockwork knights were as competitive as ever to see which one of them can outside each other below.

"Aye, Pepper! Last one below is a rusty knight!" the black mustachioed knight announced.

"We will see about that, I will win Chelsea's heart before you can," his redhead rival declared.

Charmy is using all of his might to carry Vector, Mighty, and Espio all at once in the same way they did during their "business" with Dr. Eggman during the time Metal Overlord overtaken his fleet. The joyful bee didn't mind carrying the fourth member because he knows that all four of them will be landing soon.

"Full speed ahead, we will lead the way to impress the rookies. I offered to have them fly our jet as part of their training. Pretty neat, huh?" the crocodile said.

"That is objectively a bad idea, boss. You realize that they only have the experience to drive a land vehicle and not a flying vehicle. For once, I will say that you have the weirdest kindest as the leader of this detective agency," the concerned armadillo said.

"Mighty provides an excellent point. They may had excelled in their training with Selvaria and Ramirez, but wouldn't be the best choice for flying our only plane. Let us not forget that replacing it will only cost us," the wise chameleon said.

"Maybe they wouldn't do so bad. They are rookies and can learn in due time like our last one. Remember the shy red wolf that fought in the Resistance? He adapted very well despite joining our ranks to defeat Eggman's global army and Infinite. This bee knows very well," Charmy said with a smile.

The flying Chaotix would be interrupted by the sight of their black jet flying around in a while manner right past them. It turns out Derrick is the driver as he is the one always driving the Ferrari for Britney. But the young man would be screaming wildly due rob or getting a grasp of this vehicle's flying controls compared to his car. Britney would be screaming just as much since she's scared either of them would crash land into a flying structure or dive to their own deaths.

"Why did I agree to let the Chaotix allow us to fly their jet? This is already too hard when the controls are not even inverses like a vehicle should! I never want to agree to this again!" he cried with fear and adrenaline taking over his body.

"Man up, this is nothing! We will land safely and things will be ok. Besides, we signed up for this as a test to be a good agent. There is no way that you will crash and we will fail to do anything for this already dying world we have while trying to save this dying world we'll land on!" she screamed.

Derrick could tell that her bravery is already wavering into a mix of denial and hopelessness at the reckless flight the two were having. It didn't help that even the controls are warning them that they would have to put a certain combination in to activate the landing gear.

"Warning! Warning! Approaching land at speeds that would lead to severe collateral damage. Enter the passcode to activate the landing gear! I repeat, enter the code to activate the landing gear!" the plane's system announced.

"What passcode? Vector o on my said that a true agent figures it out on their own instead of learning what it is," Derrick screamed.

"Why would he do that? We are not super geniuses that can solve any problem like Albert Einstein? What kind of thought process is that?" Britney yelled.

Both of them would be entering random combinations in fear to quickly find the code they both need for safety. Omega and Gamma would be flying together, both with their trademark weapons ready to fire for the forces that may await them. Being the more destruction happy of the two, Omega is the most excited to fire away with everything he's got. Gamma is the more tactical of the two and prefer to pre-plan and shoot later with his weaponry. Next up would be Alberto and Clarissa flying together in their transformed Ferrari as they cruise the skies carefully. Alberto already looks through the coordinates of his red rover just to see if it has enough drones and other tricks to keep the driving couple in one piece. The blonde woman in particular is excited as she haven't done anything too big the warship raid or helping Amy's group take on the Vortex Queen. Her Latino lover however is more cautious as he's aware of the stakes being huge since this is a world that's already falling down below from the damage the Legion caused to it. As such, he would rather go at this carefully and not bruise his prized transforming car. Officers Janet and Hardy would serve as the backseat passengers of their car serving as their bodyguards and enforcers of the law for any evil doers in the way. The two cops were growing bored of serving as the ship's security for a while and were happy to fight on the battlefield with their allies. Beside them would be Shogun flying in his Deadly Assassin vehicle in plane mode. The deadly warrior has his eyes on any potential threat that he has to slay with his katana or any other drastic measures. Taupy would be sitting in the backseat with his knife in hand as the bear-like Beastman awaits his first battle in a long time. The only memory he had was going on a camping trip with his former allies and being ambushed by a strange robot he found. Other than that, he isn't too sure if his remaining crewmates other than Kyrie and Morte are still around the world.

"Don't you worry, mates. I will cut these Legion frauds down to size with my own bare hands, kuma," he said in determination.

"Fear not, bear. We will make sure that they all pay dearly when they cross blades with us in war," the Shogun replied.

"Bear? I am not a friggin' bear! Do I look cute to you? If I weren't a nice guy and focused on vengeance on these fools for humiliating me, I would've skinned you alive for that statement!" Taupy barked.

Shadow within his flying G.U.N. tank would have Rouge, Selvaria, and Ramirez aboard. It appears that the hedgehog finally decided to warm up to the generals despite his initial suspicions of them. But he's only feeling this way due to the dire situation the Lost Hex is in while also hoping they would prove their worth to him right here. Lastly, the gigantic Atolm would be scaling the skies with his massive dark body. He would be the one responsible for carrying the remaining members of the group like Azel, General Winter, Phantom R, Jack Cayman, Agent Seven, Princess Sora, Alicia, Welkin, Kreese, Howard, the Freonian child, and Ecco in his seagull form. The dolphin eventually grew tired of swimming in a tank all day and wanted to be of help to everyone. As he is aware that some of his forms would leave him in a dangerous position due to needing water to breathe, he will stay in his seagull or Vortex Drone forms at all times unless he sees any bodies of water. The Deadly Six would also be flying their way after everyone else to arrive in their now damaged home. Zazz is already seething with insanity as he really wants to put his claws on the ones destroying his home. Zik already shakes his head at the carnage ahead of him with only one important goal in mind. Zomom, other than being hungry, is mostly frustrated at the thought that his own mother that gave him a hard time growing up may be in danger right now. Zeena would only realize that her family may be in grave danger asa she's the most serious she had ever been before. As the enjoyer of misery, even Zor felt that everything is too much when it comes at the cost of his only home and fellow Zeti that were possibly captured or killed by the Legion. Zavok would be the angriest of them all and hopes ti find the first Legion allied member and destroy them with everything he's got.

"Deadly Six, let's take on our enemies. Remember to save any Zeti lives that you find or free them if they happen to be enslaved by these fools. Nothing will go wrong as these fools would likely not have any of those cursed conchs in hand. They are just mere machines and other weak fools. We will show them that the Lost Hex is not their play thing," the brave Zeti leader announced.

"You got, boss. I will make sure those morons never mess with our home anymore," the sadistic purple Zeti said.

"Revenge is a dish best served cold, but it's much more personal when one think they can get away with purging our race," the elderly Zeti said.

"I will feed on everything they've got. Arms or even hearts. Anything to satisfy my stress hunger," the gluttonous yellow Zeti replied.

"Let's just get this over with. The atmosphere here is already too dark for my tastes," the glum pale Zeti said.

"These posers will not know what hit them when I get my combat nails ready for their ugly faces," the green female Zeti said.

Dark Pit and Phosphora would be back as they both flew behind everyone. The two are aware that their other Smash allies should be arriving soon, but only fell short as they needed to grab a big enough ship to travel with. Viridi is the one who wanted them to get their first as she can look around the planet and give them pointers on what tasks they should do to help benefit the Deadly Six quicker. Like Palutena, the Power of Flight is limited to lasting only for five minute and he iOS close to having his flight time completely up.

"We are here, anything you want us to do first?" he asked his unseen goddess.

"I would suggest starting things off away from Windy Hill. There are some forces to take out in Desert Ruins. Take out as much generals as you cane and free the captives. Then repeat for all the other locations. I will grant you flight only when its needed to not abuse my own goddess powers. You are on your own as I would rather save my Reset Bombs for the future when things get really rough. Good luck DP," the goddess said.

"Understood. Phosphora, let's fly east from here. Once we see a large desert area, that's where we will investigate to follow the mission. Just be serious and do not play around too much," the angel replied.

"You do not have to worry about me. As the Goddess of Lightning, I prefer to take my enemies out in a flash. I'm not like Arlon who barely take anything serious or Craglanche who's just a lunk head. Leave it to me," the cocky goddess said.

The two would then split off from behind everyone else to go their own way. Centurion finally descends to the ground below to drop off the dizzy Ristar, leading the latter to stumble around in a complete daze. All the other Zeti under the stairs would be in awe at this strange green bipedal dragon. It was nothing like they've ever seen before as they were cautious of thinking about approaching it. Zane's parents were still holding him back from even going out there.

"Let go of me, I want to get a closer look at the situation!" he whined.

The damaged Mecha Sonic finally regains his senses to get a great look at his attacker. The first thing he would do is scan the unidentified flying creature as he never personally saw a being like him before. He instantly learns of Centurion's status as an immortal and member of the Beast Man race with his ability to become different bestial forms.

"Interesting, you really are an abomination to think you can stand to one of the strongest machines Eggman has to offer. Now get out of my way or you will be put down like a good boy," he threatened.

The Weredragon would only respond with a powerful growl to show that the beats is not backing down completely for what he done to his ally. Mecha Sonic instantly brandishes his machine gun once more before he would charge at the beast.

"Very well, then I will have to prove it to you right now. You had your chance to run, but it's too late to back out of your own death wish," he shouts.

He instantly charged at the dragon immediately before firing volleys of bullets at him. Centurion's tough dragon scales would be enough to shrug off these bullets as the beast lunged at him immediately. The two collided once more in a head to head clash of the intense fliers. The resulting after shock knocked Ristar back before his sense came back. The shooting start tumble around like a rolling ball afterwards. Even Orta's dragon that was close to landing would almost be pushed back by the strong winds. Prince Ali made sure to catch Orta in time before she fell back from the recoil. The silver haired girl is thankful that the prince went out of his way to save her from the accident. This would only annoy the dragon that carries them as he wants to get even with the one that almost hurt his master. Even the Chaotix would be struggling to stand balanced as they start to sink as a result of the stray forces. Britney and Derrick would finally get the passcode correctly after many combinations only to be blown away by the winds. They screamed as a result of the spiraling black jet now being in danger of crashing into someone from behind. Mega Man, Shadow, Shogun, the Outrun couple, and Clockwork knights dodged at the right time while struggling with the winds themselves. Atolm thugs off the forces that hit him as they were nothing compared to the magic storm that struck him in the past as those were strong enough to affect his large size.

"There goes that muscle head, always going too reckless with his strength," Azel complained.

The most annoyed would be Jack, who's cigar would fall off from the hit the dragon endured. As a mercenary, he is only at his best mood when either smoking or having his favorite happy pills. They also do well to tone down his usual bloodlust when it comes to facing his enemies. Now he only had one thing in mind, destroying anyone that is in his way.

"No more Mr. Nice Jack. Just get me off of this dragon and I will end things my way. I know part of the deal is to avoid any serious killing, but holding back will be difficult when my last smoke is gone," the annoyed killer said.

"You can borrow one of mines. I have been holding off on them for a while as it makes my hacking more clear for any mission," Agent Seven said.

Jack took the box without hesitation and carefully takes one out to begin lighting. The agent giggled at his haste in wanting to smoke so badly if it meant keeping himself completely calm. Sora is too busy exercising her singing voice in preparation of any assistance her powers would be needed of in this mission.

"If one does not stand tall, we will surely fall. I can only do so much, which is why we all need a hunt. We stand together for the world, as we can see that the tides can be twirled…. Or maybe I should had said whirled. No matter, I will do my best when the time comes," she said after messing up on the chorus.

Ecco cackles in in his seagull laughter from listening to her stew up and Alicia giggles. Welkin however is completely serious as he always been one to take a battle as serious as possible with his experience in the Gallian Squad 7. With his rifle in hand and enough explosives in his artillery punch, he is ready to try saving a country the same way he done so many times before his retirement. I am ready for the battlefield. There is no way that we will all lose this fight. These villains will truly pay for what they did to our home and stealing or beloved daughter. I swear if she is hurt in any way, they will not have any mercy from my warfare.

"Comrades, get ready! This may be one of our most dangerous missions yet. Fight with everything you have and we will crush the enemy. Never forget that falling will have severe consequences as this planet have the same gravity as ours. Be careful where you fight at all costs. Not even my planes will be guaranteed to catch you all in time as they are focused on bombing the enemies based around the Lost Hex. This is not a game and will not be easier than our last big mission," General Winter announced.

"Understood you loud and clear. I will show these fiends that nothing can outspend my own rhythm in combat. Anything to come back to Marie in one piece," Phantom R said.

The Freonian child nods while at the same time worrying about his friend Ristar who already made it there before everyone.

"What is colorful and red all over?" Kreese said.

"The punkass fodder that we will kick in the balls. Or would it be funnier if it were their testicles?" Howard said.

"Why did we bring these two clowns with us? They are not even serious enough for the mission," the princess said in disbelief.

"Well slap my ass and call me the king. This princess is only having her panties in a twist for us commentators doing our job at being witty," Kreese said.

"I will tell you one thing, the only thing good about her is well…nothing. I've even seen hookers that could scream better than her," Howard said before laughing with his fellow commentator.

The princess would only roll her eyes at the immaturity of the two.

"Everyone, get ready! We will land soon. Remember everyone we've discussed back aboard the ship," Azel shouts.

Everyone would appropriately get their best weapons ready for battle as they drew near the site of Centurion's battle. The Weredragon is new trading blows equally with Mecha Sonic in a heated battle that violently rumbled the very earth they stood on. With each metal fish, the draconic fighter would start to feel only little pain. Just like how the claws and kicks of the beast would dent the Sonic lookalike to some degree. The two power houses would keep attacking and attacking as each blow would send blasts of wind in all directions from their intense fight. Ristar would finally come to his sense to see that his own ally is putting up a better fight against the robot menace more than him. The star child is really amazed by just how well the humanoid dragon is putting up by keeping up with Mecha Sonic in every category while he could in one form.

He really wondered why he refuses to change forms, but realize that he is actually doing a good idea of being more unpredictable to a machine who excepts someone to fight a certain way than intended.

This is really smart. Maybe if he can keep this up, that robot will fail to beat him. Then we can save the rest of the Lost Hex easily. You can do it Centurion, go kick his butt in your own way!

Mecha Sonic soon realized that he will hav e to be more aggressive as he starts to curl up into his spike ball form. He is executing the same famous Spin Dash as Sonic if it meant trying to blindside the transformed warrior. Centurion had the feeling he planned to do this and only stood midnight to try predicting his next move. Mecha Sonic instantly charged into him at full force while spinning at speeds fast enough to try grinding into his body. Centurion would allow himself to be hit on purpose and let the steel hedgehog grind into his own scales.

"Centurion! Why did you let yourself get hit? Fight back!" Ristar called.

Little did he know that the dragon lycanthrope had a special plan. As he lets his chest be scratched vigorously, he clapped his clawed hands on both sides of the robot. This would instantly stop and hold him in place to stop his deadliest move. The beast lets out a loud growl then attempt to slam the devious robot against the nearest stone structure with all o0f his might. This plan actually succeeds as Mecha Sonic lost his balance and suffered from the intensity of this throw.

"Yes, you've did it!" Ristar shouts.

Centurion once again lets out the loudest dragon roar to exert his dominance over the inferior machine that dared to challenge someone comparable to a god. His years of dominating all creatures on earth before his banishment and death at the hand of Zeus paid off as he is aware of how to deal with any dangerous fighter that tries to prove to be a big threat to him. Orta's dragon could recognize that roar easily and start to pick up his flying speed to prepare for landing. Orta saw this and knew that this is easily a sign that they were already here join enemy territory. She reads her gun now that it is close to time for landing, all wile Prince Ali pulls out his trusty knife for battle.

"Are you ready, Prince Ali?" she asks.

"I am always ready. Anything to help fight by your own side. As long a I have the Golden Armlet, nothing can stop me," he said.

Things would turn from bad to worst once Mecha Sonic surprise attacks the unsuspecting dragon in one feel attack to the head. The force would throw Prince Ali and Orta off the flying beast immediately as the beast would be spiraling towards the ground. The two violently bounced and rolled from their serious fall toward the east. Ristar saw this and quickly found some way to blast himself in their direction with a state of urgency. Even Centurion would see that the robot villain only pulled this dirty trick because he knew others would be involved with the situation. Mecha Sonic finally regains his senes only to see the flying behemoth that he purposely knocked down if it meant trying to fend off all introducers that dared tried to stop his plans. Even the robot clones of Zik, For, and Zomom finally saw the two human visitors that flung themselves in their direction from the fall. This would get the attention of certain Badniks that would lose interest in the robot decoys and focus on taking out the new intruders that appeared. Robot Zik instantly spun his staff as means to throw it at the fleeing robots that tried to attack his new allies.

"None of you will think about escaping a battle as long as I'm the one who started this and not the unintentional," he said.

"What are they doing here?" Zomom said while chewing more robot matter.

"Great, just what we need. Even more useless people to babysit," robot Zor said in his glum tone.

The prince would be the first to try getting up despite his pain to see the three robot Zeti standing above them. He instantly jumped back as he did not expect the Zeti to be here this fast. Orta finally gets up from her fall after hearing her prince's scream and aims her gun. She then lowers it once she sees the robot versions of Zomom, Zik, and Zomom standing next to them.

"You guys need to learn not to scare people. It's no wonder Shadow is so distant from you all," she said.

The Zeti were confused as this is their first time personally meeting anyone other than the masters they were created to replicate.

"Did you two hit your heads hard enough. We've never met before in our lives. Are you the ones that our masters talked about coming to save the Lost Hex?" Zor said.

"Oh, I forgot that they made robot clones of them. Well, you. Can you tell us what happened here so far?" Prince Ali asks.

"I would say, but shouldn't you be concerned about your flying beast over there?" Zik points out.

The two turned to see Mech Sonic kicking the now wounded and defenseless dragon to torture his new prey with no one around to stop him. Even Ristar just arrived only to see how Ali and Orta went.

"Hey guys, I wonder if you two are…"

"No, he is trying to kill him. My friend and the one who saved me from being imprisoned. If he lays another hand on him, then I will blast him until nothing is left," an emotionally distraught Orta shouts.

Even Ali did not find what the robot is doing was cool at all since this is a living thing that is already hurt and for him to try killing it while it's down is quite low of him. The beast roars in pain within each blow as it can't escape the cruel robot's violent methods in any way. Orta could not take anymore and dashed directly at the robot with her gun ready to shoot in the right spots.

"Get off of him, you monster! I will destroy you!" she cried with tears flying from her face.

Prince Ali quickly takes out a bottled water to prepare summoning Dytto for assistance before she did anything too reckless.

"Stay back, do you want to get your body messed up over a worthless sacrifice?" robot Zor called.

Orta already fired her blasts at Mecha Sonic if it meant stopping his onslaught on her dragon. He finishes his onslaught and focus his attention on the angry woman that chose to engage him. Orta still continues to shoot at his exposed face, only for him to block the blasts with his hands easily. Prince Ali knew that she is too dangerously close to him and may be killed if not intervened. Dytto finally forms from a floating blob of water thanks to the Armlet's power that affected his water bottle. The fairy looks and saw exactly what she may had been summoned for.

"You want me to take out that bad guy?" she asked.

"Yes, Dytto. Stop him with all you've got. Makes sure he does not lay a single hand on Orta!" he ordered.

The water fairy eventually flew in her direction with urgency as he stayed back to figure out what weapons he would need for him. Orta jumps on Mecha Sonic whilst wrapping her legs around him to aim her blaster right in his face for a good shot.

"It's no use, you are not even a real threat to me. Just like this pathetic creature that I'm simply teaching a lesson for being in my way," the cruel robot taunts.

Just hearing his words and listening to her dragon let out another mournful roar would only incite her fury to its highest point. She instead begins charging her blaster immediately and pointing it in his face even further. Mecha Sonic only continues to laugh at her as if her actions were completely futile and irrelevant to him. Centurion already arrived once more to growl at the robot as if their fight were far from finished. Although the weredragon would avoid getting physical due to noticing his own ally risking being too close to his intended target.

"Don't worry, I will deal with you after I sit here and enjoy this worthless woman's attack. Just let her have her moment, I will savor it more if it were to fail," he said.

Orta gathers more than enough energy needed for her next possible attack despite hearing Dytto approach from behind.

"Get back, I will deal with this machine. My master wants your safety to be ensured," the fairy called.

Orta would only ignore her demands to focus on this only powerful shot she had planned for the monster that dared harmed her dragon and called him pathetic.

"Stay out of this! Let me be the one to avenge what he did to my closest friend! No one harms my friend of the skies and gets away with it! This heartless machine paying with his life will be enough to undo this mistake!" she shouts at her own ally.

Dytto is taken aback just by how harsh her statement was despite only following Prince Ali's wishes. Centurion would only do a confused growl as he is wondering why would his own ally not want anyone to be involved in this situation. The Chaotix would finally arrive just in time and separate into their own cool poses.

"We are here, the Chaotix arrived to put an end to your tyranny. You all are under arrest, of course after we kick your butts," Vector announced.

Espio would notice the first of their possible targets, but also see that Orta is already too close to him.

"Before we think about attacking, we should think of a way to separate Orta. I am not liking the look of this," the careful chameleon said.

"But how will we do that when getting involved would force that robot to attack her?" Mighty said.

"She is already attacking on her own.I say that after she attacks, I will jump in and grab her. You can count on this bee," Charmy brags.

Mecha Sonic would only be slightly annoyed at hearing the Chaotix from a few feet away from him.

"If there is nothing I hate more than those that get in my way, it's insufferable pests that only exist to test my patience," the robot droned.

Orta used this opportunity to fire directly at his face as a less focused machine is vulnerable enough to the worst damage possible. The recoil of the blasts would launch Orta backwards on her on behind as Dytto would do nothing but watch. She is aware that retying to catch her would only get her smashed from her larger size or off she were to use her water powers, she would accidentally drown Orta. Centurion instantly charged at Mecha Sonic while he is wounded to damage him further with a series of quick blows from his scaly fists.

"Chaotix, follow my lead! We will carry that dragon to a safer spot and help tend his wounds," Vector ordered.

"Affirmative," the remaining Chaotix members replied.

The crocodile, bee, armadillo, and chameleon all ran their way to the struggling large beast to execute their plan. Ali already made his way to see Orta still sore from her rough landing of that risky attack and helps her up.

"What were you thinking? You would had gotten yourself killed back there. Dytto was sent with the task of saving you and here you are trying to risk you own life. Would your dragon want you to die just to avenge him?" the concerned prince shouts.

Orta would only keep crying as she only had nothing but anger for what the robot was doing with her flying friend and felt that she had to do something at all instead of nothing.

"You have no idea how much he means to me or everything he did for me back when I was alone. I was going to make that machine pay for almost killing the one reason that I was no longer some prisoner trapped in a camp for so long. I almost had him if it weren't for everyone getting in my way,"she cried with so much anger and sadness behind her voice.

Hearing these words would only remind him of what he used to be, brash and caring about the state of his kingdom instead of taking any help during the Yuria mission. Ali felt too much deja vu from Orta's actions and would only feel this is a massive role reversal that hit too close to home for him.

"I know, but you can not do this alone. That dragon isn't just your friend, but ours as well. Look at how everyone is doing their best for him," he said.

The tearful woman would see that the Chaotix is slowly carrying the beast with their individuals strength to take him to a safer location. Heavy tape and bandages were applied in the worst scrape and kick wounds to stop the bleeding before the dragon had any severe blood loss. She would also see how Mecha Sonic is struggling to keep up with Centurion once the warrior is in serious mode to fight him once more min close combat. She still feels that everything she did in that one shot was all for naught and not close to significant enough like she had wanted. Ristar even came to her side with sadness as he felt her pain for the fact Mecha Sonic would had defeated him had Centurion did not arrive to save him.

"You are not alone. I humiliated myself for leaving my arms open for him to take advantage of. My mother and father would be disappointed in me if they were here to see this. Some hero of the galaxy I was," he said in despair.

The robot Zik, Zomom, and For arrived as the two found a way to try holding the enemy forces back with the wreckage of their allies.

"Young one, mistakes are far from the worst thing one could make. You could argue that the six of us would had been destroyed if none of you even came. Even our robot leader and most reckless member were almost destroyed by that blue fiend to defend the Zeti here. It won't be long until our masters get here and we can take a backseat until we are truly needed. Repairs would be a great idea with how much energy is depleted from our systems. The spotlight blooms in your direction for now," the wise robot Zeti said.

"Speaking of which, my sensors indicate that they are here already. Finally, I can just relax and not risk my own meaningless life," Zor complained.

"Guys, Zeena is bringing the other two here already. We can finally go back to the ship safely together," Zomom cheers.

The green robot Zeti would be seen dragging The large red Zeti and slim purple Zeti with all the strength she had left.

"Wake me up when everything is over, I am about to pass out carrying this much luggage with me," she said.

"Thanks you, Zeena. I am sure the real Zeena would be proud that you are risking everything to have us together in one piece," the grateful Zavok said.

"Yeah, because it is getting irritating dealing with so many holes in my stomach. I need repairs before I get a little crazy," Zazz said ironically.

Ali would realize that even if these were robot copies created as decoys for the Deadly Six, they still cared for each other as close allies like their fleshy counterparts. Orta would also slowly let the robot elderly Zeti's words soak in her head to realize that she isn't as useless as she thought she was. The idea that even they did worse than her, but still tried their best is only inspiring to her. Which allowed her to think back to the prince's words about everyone doing their best in the situation to help make her dragon's accident not be in any vain.

They are all right. Here I am being selfish thinking this is all about me, when they are all doing their best for my sake and his own life. What was I thinking back there? He was right that I would had lost my life in a senseless sacrifice if I did entertain the idea of being close to that horrible machine for so long. But now is the time for us to better work together against an enemy. While most importantly, saving this innocent world and people from this living hell.

Mecha Sonic would finally have just about enough and grabs the head of Centurion in time with malicious intent.

"As a reward for you toying with me, I shall give you the greatest gift a pathetic beast deserves," he gloats.

The coldhearted robot instantly snaps the neck of the green scaly warrior. The snack would be heard by everyone instantly just for how loud it was. The painful sorrowful roar heard afterwards would let them know that their strong ally is now unable to fight anymore in such a critical situation.

"Noooooooooooo!" Ristar shouts.

The body of the weredragon would finally collapse on the ground instantly, then slowly reverts back to the human form of the fallen warrior. Centurion's usual muscular form is now gone and his appearance is that in a scrawny sickly state to show just how much power he lost from that severe method. The Chaotix were already too far away with the dragon in their hands to pay any mind to what is going on.

"Sorry guys, you all will have to fight him with all you've got. We have our own mission to handle," the crocodile said remorsefully. It was then that Ristar would finally lose himself and begin stretching his arms for a desperate attack on Mecha Sonic.

"You are going to pay for this!" he shouts.

Mecha Sonic would chuckle as he feels killing Centurion while he's down is a good move to make.

"Try me as this weak warrior will have his final moments with a splattered head," he said in sadistic glee.

A familiar red figure appears just in time to knock him away with a flaming punch. This sends him flying even further than the time Ristar hit him and with a more devastating effect. Five other familiar figures appeared behind this red creature instantly with their poses ready.

"Who is the weak one now? Let the real Zeti show you that this world is not yours to destroy," Zavok announced.

Now things are really getting exciting. Sullivan explains the state of Basel and wants everyone to follow a plan he has that involve having the Cardinals on his side along with Rowen. Minus his former enemies like Vashyron disagreeing, many were on board as everyone saw that even some villains were not completely on board with the Legion. SCR-HD is also alive and now fully reprogrammed to suit his use to the group, agreeing to help recruit any faraway allies that would like to join them. Also, everyone finally arrived in the Lost Hex to face the cruel Mecha Sonic himself. He is deadly as he is powerful, giving some heroes a hard time. But the tides will change now that the real Deadly Six are here to free their home. Next Saturday will see a new chapter. See you all real soon!
